English to Spanish: DIEZ COSAS QUE MUCHOS NO SABEN SOBRE EINSTEIN General field: Social Sciences
Source text - English Most people know that Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who came up with the formula E=mc2.
But do you know these ten things about this genius?
http://history1900s.about.com/od/people/a/Einstein.htm
10.
Loved to Sail
When Einstein attended college at the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, he fell in love with sailing.
He would often take a boat out onto a lake, pull out a notebook, relax, and think.
Even though Einstein never learned to swim, he kept sailing as a hobby throughout his life.
9.
Einstein's Brain
When Einstein died in 1955, his body was cremated and his ashes scattered, as was his wish.
However, before his body was cremated, pathologist Thomas Harvey at Princeton Hospital conducted an autopsy in which he removed Einstein's brain.
Rather than putting the brain back in the body, Harvey decided to keep it, ostensibly for study.
Harvey did not have permission to keep Einstein's brain, but days later, he convinced Einstein's son that it would help science.
Shortly thereafter, Harvey was fired from his position at Princeton because he refused to give up Einstein's brain.
For the next four decades, Harvey kept Einstein's chopped-up brain (Harvey had it cut into over 200 pieces) in two mason jars with him as he moved around the country.
Every once in a while, Harvey would slice off a piece and send it to a researcher.
Finally, in 1998, Harvey returned Einstein's brain to the pathologist at Princeton Hospital.
8.
Einstein and the Violin
Einstein's mother, Pauline, was an accomplished pianist and wanted her son to love music too, so she started him on violin lessons when he was six years old.
Unfortunately, at first, Einstein hated playing the violin.
He would much rather build houses of cards, which he was really good at (he once built one 14 stories high!), or do just about anything else.
When Einstein was 13-years old, he suddenly changed his mind about the violin when he heard the music of Mozart.
With a new passion for playing, Einstein continued to play the violin until the last few years of his life.
For nearly seven decades, Einstein would not only use the violin to relax when he became stuck in his thinking process, he would play socially at local recitals or join in impromptu groups such as Christmas carolers who stopped at his home.
7.
Presidency of Israel
A few days after Zionist leader and first President of Israel Chaim Weizmann died on November 9, 1952, Einstein was asked if he would accept the position of being the second president of Israel.
Einstein, age 73, declined the offer.
In his official letter of refusal, Einstein stated that he not only lacked the "natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people," but also, he was getting old.
6.
No Socks
Part of Einstein's charm was his disheveled look.
In addition to his uncombed hair, one of Einstein's peculiar habits was to never wear socks.
Whether it was while out sailing or to a formal dinner at the White House, Einstein went without socks everywhere.
To Einstein, socks were a pain because they often would get holes in them.
Plus, why wear both socks and shoes when one of them would do just fine?
5.
A Simple Compass
When Albert Einstein was five years old and sick in bed, his father showed him a simple pocket compass.
Einstein was mesmerized.
What force exerted itself on the little needle to make it point in a single direction?
This question haunted Einstein for many years and has been noted as the beginning of his fascination with science.

4.
Designed a Refrigerator
Twenty-one years after writing his Special Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein invented a refrigerator that operated on alcohol gas.
The refrigerator was patented in 1926 but never went into production because new technology made it unnecessary.
Einstein invented the refrigerator because he read about a family that was poisoned by a sulphur dioxide-emitting refrigerator.
3.
Obsessed Smoker
Einstein loved to smoke.
As he walked between his house and his office at Princeton, one could often see him followed by a trail of smoke.
Nearly as part of his image as his wild hair and baggy clothes was Einstein clutching his trusty briar pipe.
In 1950, Einstein is noted as saying, "I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgment in all human affairs," Although he favored pipes, Einstein was not one to turn down a cigar or even a cigarette.
2.
Married His Cousin
After Einstein divorced his first wife, Mileva Maric, in 1919, he married his cousin, Elsa Loewenthal (nee Einstein).
How closely were they related?
Quite close.
Elsa was actually related to Albert on both sides of his family.
Albert's mother and Elsa's mother were sisters, plus Albert's father and Elsa's father were cousins.
When they were both little, Elsa and Albert had played together; however, their romance only began once Elsa had married and divorced Max Loewenthal.
1.
An Illegitimate Daughter
In 1901, before Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric were married, the college sweethearts took a romantic getaway to Lake Como in Italy.
After the vacation, Mileva found herself pregnant.
In that day and age, illegitimate children were not uncommon and yet they were also not accepted by society.
Since Einstein did not have the money to marry Maric nor the ability to support a child, the two were not able to get married until Einstein got the patent job over a year later.
So as not to besmirch Einstein's reputation, Maric went back to her family and had the baby girl, whom she named Lieserl.
Although we know that Einstein knew about his daughter, we don't actually know what happened to her.
There are but just a few references of her in Einstein's letters, with the last one in September 1903.
It is believed that Lieserl either died after suffering from scarlet fever at an early age or she survived the scarlet fever and was given up for adoption.
Both Albert and Mileva kept the existence of Lieserl so secret that Einstein scholars only discovered her existence in recent years.

¿Pero sabe usted estas diez cosas sobre este genio?

10.
Le Encantaba Navegar
Cuando Einstein asistía a la universidad al Instituto Politécnico de Zurich, Suiza, se enamoró de la navegación.
El a menudo sacaba un bote al lago, extraía un cuaderno, se relajaba y pensaba.
A pesar de que Einstein nunca aprendió a nadar, el continuó navegando como hobby durante toda su vida.
9.
El cerebro de Einstein
Cuando Einstein murió en 1955, su cuerpo fué cremado y sus cenizas diseminadas, como era su deseo.
Sin embargo, antes de que su cuerpo fuese cremado, el patólogo Thomas Harvey en el hospital Princeton realizó una autopsia en la cual el removió el cerebro de Einstein.
En lugar de colocar el cerebro nuevamente en el cuerpo, Harvey decidió mantenerlo aparentemente para su estudio.
Harvey no tenía autorización para mantener el cerebro de Einstein, pero días después, convenció al hijo de Einstein que ello ayudaría a la ciencia.
Poco tiempo después, Harvey fue despedido de su cargo en Princeton porque rehusó entregar el cerebro de Einstein.
Durante las próximas cuatro décadas, Harvey mantuvo el cerebro fragmentado de Einstein (Harvey lo había cortado en más de 200 trozos) en dos frascos de Mason y los llevaba consigo mientras recorría el país.
De cuando en cuando, Harvey cortaba un trozo y lo enviaba a un investigador.
Finalmente, en 1998, Harvey devolvió el cerebro de Einstein al patólogo del Hospital Princeton.
8.
Einstein y el Violín
La madre de Einstein, Paulina, era una exitosa pianista y quería que su hijo amara la música también, por lo que ella lo inició a el en lecciones de violin cuando el tenía seis años de edad.
Desafortunadamente, al principio, Einstein odiaba tocar el violín.
El prefería mucho más construir casas de naipes, tarea en la cual el era realmente bueno (el una vez construyó una de 14 pisos de altura!), o simplemente hacía cualquier otra cosa.
Cuando Einstein tenía 13 años de edad, el de pronto cambió de parecer sobre el violin cuando escuchó la música de Mozart.
Con una nueva pasión por tocar, Einstein continuó tocando el violín hasta los últimos años de su vida.
Durante casi siete décadas, Einstein no solo usaría el violín to relax para relajarse cuando se quedaba absorto en su proceso pensante, el tocaría socialmente en recitales locales o se uniría a grupos improvisados tales como villanciqueros navideños que se detenían junto a su hogar.
7.
Presidencia de Israel
Unos días después que el lider Sionista y primer Presidente de Israel Chaim Weizmann murió el 9 de Noviembre, 1952, a Einstein se le propuso si el aceptaría el cargo para ser el segundo presidente de Israel.
Einstein, a sus 73 años, declinó la oferta.
En su carta oficial de rechazo, Einstein manifestó que el no sólo carecía de "la aptitud natural y la experiencia para conducir apropiadamente a las personas," sino también, que el estaba envejeciendo.
6.
Sin calcetines
Parte del encanto de Einstein era su apariencia desalineada.
Además de su cabello despeinado, uno de los hábitos peculiares de Einstein era nunca usar calcetines.
Ya sea cuando salía a navegar o asistía a una cena formal en La Casa Blanca, Einstein concurría a todos lados sin calcetines.
Para Einstein, los calcetines eran una calamidad porque a menudo se agujereaban.
Es más, ¿por qué usar calcetines y zapátos cuando con sólo uno de ellos ya estaría bien ?
5.
Una Simple Brújula
Cuando Albert Einstein tenía cinco años de edad y estaba enfermo en cama, su padre le mostró una simple brújula de bolsillo.
Einstein estaba fascinado.
Qué fuerza se ejercía sobre la pequeña aguja para hacerla señalar en una sola dirección?
Esta pregunta inquietó a Einstein por muchos años y ha sido marcada como el principio de su fascinación por la ciencia.
4.
Diseñó un Refrigerador
Veintiun años después de escribir su Teoría Especial de la Relatividad, Albert Einstein inventó un refrigerador que funcionaba con gas de alcohol.
El refrigerador fué patentado en 1926 pero nunca fué producido porque nueva tecnología lo tornaba innecesario.
Einstein inventó el refrigerador porque el había leído sobre una familia que había sido envenenada por un refrigerador emisor de dióxido de azufre.
3
Fumador Obsesivo
A Einstein le encantaba fumar.
Mientras el caminaba entre su casa y su oficina en Princeton, uno a menudo podía verlo seguido por un rastro de humo.
Casi como parte de su imágen, su cabello salvaje y ropaje aflojado Einstein ostentaba su confiable pipa de brezo blanco.
En 1950, Einstein comentaba, "yo creo que el fumar pipa contribuye a una cierta calma y juicio objetivo en todas los asuntos humanos," A pesar de que el prefería las pipas, Einstein no era alguien que rechazara un habano o aún un cigarrillo.
2.
Se casó con su Prima
Después que Einstein se divorció de su primer esposa, Mileva Maric, en 1919, el se casó con su prima, Elsa Loewenthal (nee Einstein).
¿Qué tan cercana era su relación?
Muy cercana.
Elsa estaba realmente vinculada a Albert por ambos lados de su familia.
La madre de Albert y la madre de Elsa eran hermanas, además el padre de Albert y el padre de Elsa eran primos.
Cuando ellos eran pequeños, Elsa y Albert habían jugado juntos; sin embargo, su romance sólo comenzó una vez que Elsa se hubo casado y divorciado de Max Loewenthal.
1.
Una Hija Ilegítima
En 1901, antes de que Albert Einstein y Mileva Maric estuvieran casados, los enamorados universitarios realizaron un escape romántico a Lago Como en Italia.
Después de estas vacaciones, Mileva se econtraba embarazada.
En aquellos días y a su edad, los hijos ilegítimos no eran algo fuera de lo común y todavía no eran aceptados por la sociedad.
Dado que Einstein no tenía el dinero para casarse con Maric o la capacidad de mantener un niño, los dos no pudieron casarse hasta que Einstein obtuvo el empleo en la oficina de patentes un año más tarde.
Por lo cual para no amancillar la reputación de Einstein, Maric regresó con su familia y tuvo a la bebé, a la cual ella llamó Lieserl.
A pesar de que sabemos que Einstein sabía sobre su hija, realmente no sabemos que sucedió con ella.
Existen sólo unas pocas referencias a ella en las cartas de Einstein, siendo la última de Setiembre de 1903.
Se cree que Lieserl o bien murió después de sufrir de fiebre escarlatina a una edad temprana o bien sobrevivió a la fiebre escarlatina y fue entregada en adopción.
Tanto Albert como Mileva mantuvieron la existencia de Lieserl tan secreta que los estudiosos de Einstein sólo descubrieron su existencia en años recientes.

Fast facts on diabetes
Here are some key points about diabetes. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
• Diabetes is a long-term condition that causes high blood sugar levels.
• In 2013 it was estimated that over 382 million people throughout the world had diabetes (Williams textbook of endocrinology).
• Type 1 Diabetes - the body does not produce insulin. Approximately 10% of all diabetes cases are type 1.
• Type 2 Diabetes - the body does not produce enough insulin for proper function. Approximately 90% of all cases of diabetes worldwide are of this type.
• Gestational Diabetes - this type affects females during pregnancy.
• The most common diabetes symptoms include frequent urination, intense thirst and hunger, weight gain, unusual weight loss, fatigue, cuts and bruises that do not heal, male sexual dysfunction, numbness and tingling in hands and feet.
• If you have Type 1 and follow a healthy eating plan, do adequate exercise, and take insulin, you can lead a normal life.
• Type 2 patients need to eat healthily, be physically active, and test their blood glucose. They may also need to take oral medication, and/or insulin to control blood glucose levels.
• As the risk of cardiovascular disease is much higher for a diabetic, it is crucial that blood pressure and cholesterol levels are monitored regularly.
• As smoking might have a serious effect on cardiovascular health, diabetics should stop smoking.
• Hypoglycemia - low blood glucose - can have a bad effect on the patient. Hyperglycemia - when blood glucose is too high - can also have a bad effect on the patient.

Hechos Rápidos sobre la Diabetis
Aqui están algunos puntos clave sobre la diabetis. Más detalle e información de apoyo está en el artículo principal.
• La diabetis es una condición de largo plazo que causa altos niveles de azúcar en la sangre.
• En 2013 se estima que más de 382 millones de personas en todo el mundo tenía diabetis. (Williams tratado de endocrinología).
• Diabetis Tipo 1 - el cuerpo no produce insulina. Aproximadamente el 10% de todos los casos de diabetis son tipo 1.
• Diabetis Tipo 2 - el cuerpo no produce suficiente insulina para su funcionamiento adecuado. Aproximadamente el 90% de todos los casos de diabetis en el mundo son de este tipo.
• Diabetis Gestacional - Este tipo afecta a las mujeres durante el embarazo.
• Los síntomas más comunes de la diabetis incluyen orinar con frecuencia, sed intensa y hambre, aumento de peso, inusual pérdida de peso, fatiga, cortes y moretones que no sanan, disfunción sexual masculina, adormecimiento y sensación de pequeños pinchazos en manos y pies.
• Si Ud tiene Tipo 1 y sigue un plan de alimentación saludable, hace ejercicios adecuados, y administra insulina, Ud puede llevar una vida normal.
• Los pacientes Tipo 2 necesitan comer saludablemente, estar activos fisicamente, y controlar su glucosa en sangre. Ellos pueden también necesitar tomar medicación oral, y/o insulina para controlar los niveles de glucosa en sangre.
• Como el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares es mucho más alto para un diabético,es crucial que la presión sanguínea y los niveles de colesterol sean monitoreados regularmente.
• Como el fumar podría tener un efecto serio en la salud cardiovascular, los diabéticos deberían dejar de fumar.
• La Hipoglicemia - bajo nivel de glucosa en sangre - puede tener un efecto malo sobre el paciente. La Hiperglicemia - nivel demasiado alto de glucosa en sangre - puede también tener un efecto malo sobre el paciente.
