Interview with Nikola Tesla, the electrical wizardThere is no doubt about it, your heartbeats faster when you are about tomeet a famous electrical scientist.Mr. Tesla, the man who invented theinduction motor, the one thatdeveloped the alternating currentpower transmission, and the personthat was able to produce electricaldischarges resembling lightning bolts,has answered all our questions.

Students read and learnabout famous writers. Theyread their works, they knowabout their lives and then, theymust show what they havelearnt about. But they are hardlyever allowed to free rein to theirimagination. And this is whatthey have done to celebrate thisanniversary.

The wind blew through thewindow left open by someabsent-minded student… orteacher. The noise of a bookhitting the floor echoed throughthe old Mendoza´s library.Magically from this openedbook and as a light sunbeamtouched its pages, a mandressed as if from the sixteenthcentury slowly appeared. Risingthe skull he had in his hand heexclaimed: -“Oh, I feel like I´ve just woken

up after a 400 year-oldsiesta!”He glanced around,focusing on the strangefurniture of tables and chairs. -“What are those little greysquares?” he wondered as hetouched one of the switches.-“WITCHCRAFT” he screamedas the light turned on, andlanded on the floor. When he

recoveredfrom thesurprise, hestood up,took a hugebook from ashelf and hitthe lamp.Sparksjumped fromit and set fireto a book.Lined withwhathappenedwith the bookfrom whichShakespeare

had emerged, smoke started tocome out and suddenly a manas strangely dressed as himappeared. -“AAAAH” Shakespeare let outa high pitched scream. “Are youthe witch?” -“Witch you say? ¡Pero pardieztrovador qué infamia decís!Here you are meeting thegreatest writer that has everexisted in Spain!” -“How dare you to speak likethat to the greatest playwrightthat has ever existed inEngland!” -“A pleasure to meet you then”Cervantes bowed

mischiesvously and looked

Little tribute to the one and only. He wanted to be among the stars..Now, somehow, he,s there.

I´m going to explain a little bit aboutwho Harald Bluetooth was.

Maybe the name sounds odd to you butI´m sure you know something about hissecond name, Bluetooth, and if youdon´t know you should keep readingthis text.

First of all, Ihave to saythat Harald“Bluetooth”was theking ofDenmark and Norway, who lived from935 to 985, that unified Norwegian andDanish tribes and converted them toChristianity.

Britain in crisis over tea shortage

Due to the recent effects ofclimate change, Britain is nowfacing a tea crisis. As a result ofharvest failure due to severeweather conditions, there is nowa serious shortage of tea.As it is well known, a Britton mustconsume at least three cups ofthis delicious beverage per dayotherwise they develop serioushealth problems such as fatigueand grumpiness. The effects arealready noticeable with randomfights breaking out in the streetsover petty issues. There is alsochaos in the supermarkets aspeople rush to stockpile tea. This is truly a terrible crisis. Nolonger do friends invite eachother for 'a cuppa and a chat' at

their houses, as greed takes overin protecting their tea stash, andalready many tea shops haveclosed down. This will haveserious social and economicimplications. There is however, one benefit tothis crisis. The constructionsector is far more productivesince builders and road workerscan no longer take their long andfrequent tea breaks, and manyroads and houses that havebeen taking years to build havebeen constructed over night as ifby magic.Apart from this however, it is avery dangerous and desperatesituation. One man was found inan empty tea shop clutching abroken mug, crying andmumbling 'life without tea is nolife worth living'. The Prime Minister, DavidCameron, is calling upon Britain'sfriends in Europe to help easethis crisis by sending any surplustea supplies. There are donationpoints for this 'chari-tea' aroundBurgos where you can bring yourtea to help the people of Britainreturn to life as normal.

is one of the oldest andgreatest mysteries of the world.Since ancient times, peoplehave been trying to locateAtlantis, which is believed tohave submerged after anearthquake or tsunami. Greekphilosopher Plato describedAtlantis as a large island locatednear the Rock of Gibraltar, homeof the most advanced civilizationand being of unrivaledrefinement with a gloriouspalace. Among its other traits, Atlantiswas filled with beautiful citizens,

a Poseidon temple and concentricwalls and canals.

To date, nobody has been ableto find the city – underwater orotherwise – though this hasn’tdiscouraged numerous theoriesabout its possible location.Countless historians andexplorers have attemptedexpeditions to find theunderwater island, but whetherin South America (as recentlyreported), off the Greek Islands,or near Antarctica, Atlantis hasremained elusive and one of thegreatest mysteries of humanhistory.

or bog people, are the naturallypreserved human corpses thatwere found in the sphagnumbogs in Northern Europe.Rather than decomposing, the

bog provided the perfectconditions to preserve thebodies, leaving the skin andinternal organs relatively intact.The thousands of bodies foundcan be dated back to the IronAge and many reveal signs ofbeing murdered. It is widelybelieved that the bodies aresacrificial victims of paganrituals or a form of criminalpunishment. However, there isno conclusive evidence as towhy the thousands of bodieswere dumped, especially sincethe bodies have been foundsporadically throughoutGermany, Ireland, Britain,Netherlands and Denmark.

A moai is a monolithic stonestatue that is only found onEaster Island, which belongs tothe Region of Valparaiso (Chile).The moai are the main attractionof this island.Although it hasn’t been able toestablish their origin in time, oralhistory says that King HotuMatua would have brought thefirst statue to the island,although another versionindicates that the first settlerswould be those who would havebrought them.It is said that the moai representthe image of an ancestor withsupernatural power and enjoysa divine power. It is also saidthat they were sculpted toperpetuate the memory of thedeceased. The statue is a maletorso, with a long nose and

elongated ears. At first theywere made with basalt, trachyteand red scoria. But finally, thevolcanic material from thequarry of Rano Raraku volcanowas preferred. At first they weresmaller, with wider heads andshort ears. But then, they werechanging until the classical andsingular way in which the moaiwere on the slopes of the island.Today, it is amazing to see thatmore than a hundred moai havebeen on the slopes of the extinctvolcano; some of themcompleted and others, halfstone carving. All of them havea similar figure, except one thatis seated. The history of RapaNui says that it was done andburied immediately in order tobe discovered at the end of themillennium. Once built, they proceeded tomove them to the different ahu.The natives attributed themagical power to move thesehuge masses of stone from thevolcanic slope to the Ahusplatforms to the strength ofMana. The whole process ofconstruction and installation wascarried out according to a strictsacred rite. Once installed, theyopened basins in the face andeyes were made of white coral.Finally they placed them on thehead, huge cylinders of redscoria, symbolizing theimportance and hierarchy oftribes.Their average height is 4meters. But there is onemeasuring about 10 meters inthe quarry and another of 22meters, on the north coast of theisland. And although manypeople think that thesesculptures look to the sea, theylead the eye to the island, totheir people. Only one Ahu hashis eye toward Hiva, mythicalcontinent of origin.

You removevenomous snakes from their homesand “milk” them. This entails,stretching latex over a jar andhaving the snake bite the jar. Thevenom is extracted in two ways,manually massaging the venomglands or electric stimulation thatcontracts the muscles around theglands. Both ways cause a yellow,deadly venom to spit out into the jar.Next the venom is freeze-dried andused by or sold to pharmaceuticalcompanies, laboratories, anduniversities for research andproductionTo become aprofessional snake milker, you needto have a degree in biology,chemistry, biochemistry, orherpetology (the study of reptiles).

they were carried away by thecrowd of teenagers to the gym.There the PE teacher shoutedas he used to, “Wowowowowclass, I´m going to teach youhow to do a proper squat!”. Itwas very difficult to make aproper squat wearing sixteenthcentury clothes, but it seemedthat the teacher hadn´t seenthese two new acquisitions in

the group. Too many crazyteens, so two more didn´t makea difference for a tired teacher.“Wowowwowow, and now weare going to play kin-ball!” theteacher tried to make himselfunderstand above the cheerfulnoise.Finally, they could make out of

the of the gym in their torn pantspants, just to meet a bunch ofteens in the schoolyard shoutingunkown words such as“¡bocadillo, bocadillo!” or“Cheetos, Cheetos!. When theysaw them eating greedly, theyfelt hungry and sore, so theytried to make their way back tothe library. In the bustlingcorridor, they came across ayoung man with a skull on hishand wondering himself aboutexistential matters. Also theysaw an old crazy man fightingagainst a ficus plant. He wassupposed to defend anastonishing pretty young womanfrom nobody knows what.-“Who is that mentally weakman?” “He is Don Quijote de laMancha, my dear Shakespeare,he is a gentleman, but haseyeshight problems”. Eventually,after passing along the head ofstudies office, and under thesuspicious look of the three menin there, they could arrive at thelibrary. In the, for once, silentplace, they found their solitarybooks open. They shared anunderstanding look and got intothem. Nobody at school evernoticed that Miguel deCervantes and WilliamShakespeare had been there,so busy were teachers andstudents just shouting!

Music is part of everymoment of our lives, althoughwe don´t always realize it. For example, when we go on ajourney or on a road trip, musicis the best companion becauseit entertains you and makes thejourney more bearable. Music can help us enjoy timewith our family. We propose toyou a game: you can finallymake your family sing songsfrom other times and eras. The

game consists of every familymember proposing a song andeach one of them sings a partof the proposed song. In addition to listen to music inour cars we can also find musicin other situations: when we goshopping in the localsupermarket or we go tobuy new clothes, we canalso hear music in theseshops. Generally, in these shopsand supermarkets themusic is very fast to makeus shop faster and tomake the time passquickerIn happy situations we feel theurge to hum and sing a musicalpiece. On the other hand, when

we are sad and depressed thebest thing to do is to listen tocheerful music to make us feelbetter. Also the opposite thinghappens. Sad music can makeus feel melancholy and

nostalgic. Whilst happy musiccan drown out sadness andfeel us with joy.

When doing sports it is good tolisten to music because thedriving, constant, andcontinuous rhythm canencourage you to continueworking hard.

Another good time to listen tomusic or to sing songs is in theshower. If you need to take aquick shower the best music tolisten is the pop rock, for

example: Madonna, MichaelJackson or Elvis Presley;because the fast rhythm

motivates you toshower quickly. But isyou are searching forrelaxation you canhave a bath and playoriental or classicalmusic such as Bach,Mozart or Vivaldi.

Films have a soundtrack which helps toreinforce the messagethe film is trying toconvey. A goodexample of a filmsound track is from thefilm Titanic because itmakes you feel sadand emotional.Likewise music canalso be found intheatre, which makesthe performance moreenjoyable and can be agood way to spendtime with your family.Music plays with ourfeelings and takes uson a journey to thedeepest sadness or tothe most intenseeuphoria.

Let the musicaccompany you onyour life journey. Music forever!! !!!!!!

If you dare to run the “SanSilvestre” and you are of thosewho have followed training orinstead of that you want to startthe “bikini operation”, youshould know the importance ofknowing how is your footstep. Therefore you must know thekind of steps that you mighthave and know analyze it.There are many ways to knowit but we have used a videorunning on the treadmill and aprogram called Kinovea, withwich thanks to its slow motioncamera, allows us to see thedetails of how we run and alsoallows us to draw angles andassess them to see what isyour footstep.

PRONATION

Neutral pronation is the slightinward rolling movement of thefoot during its foot-strike.Neutral pronation isconsidered to be the idealmotion of the foot duringrunning and walking andgreatly reduces the risk forinjury. People with neutralpronation tend to find successin neutral shoes or mildsupport shoes.

OVER-PRONATION

Over-pronation is excessiveinward rolling (pronation) of thefoot during its foot-strike andoften creates alignmentproblems within the legs.There is a wide range ofdegrees of over-pronation.Minimium support shoes,moderate support shoes andmaximum support shoes aredesigned for feet, which needsome guidance to steer thefoot along a path of neutralpronation. Moderate motioncontrol shoes and maximummotion control shoes aredesigned for the mostexcessive degrees of over-pronation and work to controlthe motion of the foot.

symmetrical

SUPINATION

Supination is the lack of aninward roll or a rolling out of thefoot during its foot-strike. Thismotion inhibits the foot�sability to absorb ground forces.Also referred to as under-pronation, a foot that supinatesneeds a soft ride and quickheel-to-toe transition. Also,excellent flexibility in a shoe isdesirable. Minimum neutralshoes and moderate neutralshoes work well for supination.

Another advice with trainers isto make a good use of themand change them when theirutility life has finished so thatno problems can be caused.As you know materials withtime tend to lose theirproperties so we should takethat into account.The other way is to useorthotics in order to correct it.The foot is more complex thanwe think so there is no point injust changing the angle of thesurface of our foot with atrainer but we need to fix thealteration made by this diseasebecause when you pronate orsupinate you change the axisof both the knee and the hip.Moreover a lot of people canpronate the the part of the footthat is near the toes andsupinate the heel. Withorthotics we can also align thefoot with the ankle, knee andhip so it is in the correctposition. Something thattrainers cannot do. Andreconstruct the architecture ofthe sole vault in aphyseological way. And alsothe vast majority of brandshave decreased the number ofspecific trainers as the see thatther is no point at all correctingthis disease that way.

It is essential that young girls haverole models to help them achievetheir goals

Why did you choose to take a

degree on Biology?

When I was studying COU (lastyear at school before university)we had a college counseling chatabout genetic engineering. Theytalked about recombinant DNA andmolecular biology. Thistalk was intriguing, andquickly became clear thatI wanted to become aresearcher in that topic.

Was it difficult to get a

post in order to

continue to study

abroad?

I did my PhD withMargarita Salas, one ofthe most outstanding researchersin the country. This experienceallowed me to get a postdoctoralposition in Carol Greider’slaboratory, in New York, where Istarted working in an exciting topicfor me like telomeres, structuresthat protect the end of thechromosome and that wear awaywith ageing. Years later she wasawarded the Nobel Prize forPhysiology or Medicine, along withBlackburn and Jack W. Szostak,which also makes me feel veryproud.

After having spent some time

abroad, you came back to Spain

where, it is common knowledge

that scientists encounter many

economic difficulties when

conducting their research.

Therefore, why did you decide to

come back?

Back then, things were different.There were more resources andless limitations than nowadays.

Are there any significant

differences between working in

Spain and working in a foreign

country?

It is not a matter of the country, it isa matter of excellence in research.The best places in Spain, the so-called Severo Ochoa ExcellenceCenters are as good as the bestplaces in EEUU.

Was there a particular moment

or experience that made you

realise that you wanted to

dedicate your like to

investigation, that´s is to

improve or save lives?

Nothing is particular. I wanted tofind out how biology worked andwhy diseases appeared with thegoal of trying to find Solutions.

What are the pros and cons of

being a scientist?

Being a scientist is one of the mostrewarding and exciting professionsin the world. A key ingredient iscreativity. Without it you can’t makeany significant and decisivebreakthrough for society. Workenvironment is also rewarding,always surrounded by people fromdifferent cultures. Attending toconferences and seminars it`scrucial to drive and maintain yourresearch career, as it allows you tocollaborate with researchers allover the world.

There have been some

advances over recent years in

terms of gender equality in the

working world. Yet, perhaps

there is still more to do. Do you

think there will ever be equal

work opportunities for men and

women? (We mean in the field of

science)

I’m especially concerned aboutthis. The percentage of women atCNIO is about 60%, but this is notsignificant. What is significant isthat in positions of greaterresponsibility there are fewer

women. For example, thepercentage drops to 34% in headsof group, and the percentage iseven lower, around 12%, inmanagerial positions.

The existence of schemes andunconscious stereotypes createsbarriers that hinder women fromrising to positions of responsibility.We must start working at an earlyage so that real equality isachieved as soon as possible andhalf of the society’s talent is notwasted.

If a female scientist

found a cure for

cancer, would there

be any special social

implications?

Indeed, this couldhappen and it would begreat, as it would boostthe visibility of womenin science. Forinstance, I’d like to talk

about Emmanuelle Charpentierand Jennifer Doudna’s work,researchers who create the geneediting system CRISPR, a DNA‘cut & paste’ tool, one of thegreatest breakthroughs in geneticengineering in recent years (itbecame Science journalbreakthrough of the year in 2015).They have received many awardslike Princess of Asturias Award forTechnical and Scientific Research2015. Women are capable of doinggreat things, take part in the 21stcentury revolution, we must believeand work for it.

As a female scientist, have you

ever had to make compromises

or give up something to

prioritize your work?

We all make compromises, menand women, there is no difference.The key is to be able to decide foryourself and seek for help ifnecessary to be able to fullfil one´sdreams.

What do you think is the role of

a partner (or husband) in the life

of a female scientist? Should

they be specially sensitive to

their wives´ heavy workload?

One must choose carefully his orher partner so that will besomeone supportive of thechoices in life that we want tomake

When doing research, often

one has to work in a team. Are

there many women in your

team work? Do you notice any

differences or feel something

different when working with

female or male colleagues?

Males have more self-confidence and generally all ofthem want to becomeindepedent scientits. This issomething that had to change inthe case of women. Beingindependent will give them morefreedom and therefore it is forme difficult to understand thatthey prefer to work for someoneinstead of being independent.

What goals or objectives do

you hope to reach in your

professional career over the

next few years?

I’d like that the discoveries wemake as researchers becomerealities for patients. We haveshown that acting on telomereswe can slow aging in mice andage-related diseases such ascancer. We are now working sothat one day this will also be

transferred to patients.

Have you ever met a patient

that has benefitted from your

research? If so, what was it

like? How did you feel?

Not yet

Do you feel you have achieved

some of your professional

goals?

Yes, just having the work thatyou wanted to have is asatisfaction, although we alwayswant to achieve more, that`s onlyhuman!

What is the aim of these

lectures?

From the CNIO Women inScience Office (WISE) we workto boost the figure of women inscience, so that women can alsoaccess to positions ofresponsibility in the same waymen do. Education is veryimportant. It is essential thatyoung girls have role models toaspire to that help them achievetheir goals. That is why wedecided to open these talks alsoto schools.

Do you think that young

people are becoming more

interested in these lectures

and these issues? What do

you feel when you see them

listening to the lectures?

I think stereotypes are still one ofthe reasons why we lose somany women in the scientificcareers, stereotypes start veryearly in our education process.With this initiative we want tomake sure that both male andfemale students see that thereare powerful women thatsucceed in their careers.

Do you think that it is

important for young people to

spend some time abroad? Will

this help them in the personal

and professional

development?

It‘s always interesting andenriching to see other ways ofworking, see other perspectivesand thereby decide whether toincorporate them personally or inour field. Going abroad,especially if it is to specialize andto work at the best laboratoriesin the world, in our case is good,enriching, and something thatwill help us stay connected to thebest specialists in our field in theworld

power surge and reactor 4exploded.This explosion spread largequantities of radioactivity intothe atmosphere over a hugearea, including de city of Pripyatand its rivers and forests. Theexplosion was not under control,but neither the authorities incharge, nor the Government,warned the population. Thefollowing day, after theexplosion, nobody knew aboutit, and only 3 days later, peoplefrom Pripyat were evacuated in

big buses to a safer place.Many soldiers, emergencyworkers, residents of Pripyat,firemen and miners died

because of the radioactivityeffects while trying to keep theradiation inside of the powerplant.None of the attempts to improvethis critical situation worked, sothey decided to build a steel andconcrete sarcophagus to coverthe whole the reactor 4 building.The cloud of radiation spreadthroughout Europe and Asiacausing high radiation levels.

Could an A.I. and a humanbe in love with each other?We can find different answersto this question. If we areasking from the point of viewof the human, we should startasking ourselves what weunderstand by love. Thereare many types of love:friendship, affection, romanticlove… A robot is not a humanbeing and that's why maybeeveryone would say that it isimpossible to love somethingthat is not human, but lookaround you: surely youappreciate a lot of things thataren't also a human being.Probably some of you stillhave that toy from when youwere young that you still love.Of course, that love is notromantic; it is affection.Scientifically, many peopleargue that the idea of loving arobot is not possible: it wouldbe like being in love with theperson that has actuallyprogrammed the robot, for thereason that was him who putthe feelings there.And, could an A.I. love ahuman being? Nowadays, itis impossible, not onlybecause of the fact of nothaving any feelings but alsobecause they cannot produceirrational answers to thestimulus that they receive.Many films present ussituations in which robots areprogrammed to protecthuman lives (Big Hero 6),even sacrificing their own life.Is this sacrifice a sign of love?The question becomes morecomplicated if we askourselves what would happenif scientists were able to giverobots a “soul”. Our soul iswhat makes humans differentfrom other animals. It gives usthe ability of having feelingsand emotions, and alsomorality. If that was the case,should we start consideringrobots as humans? Shouldwe consider their creatorsgods? If that happened, somecurrent ethical barriers shouldbe overcome before lovebetween humans and A.I.would triumph; especially ifwe consider that in oursociety gay couples still findproblems of rejection.

Will it be possible to move thehuman mind into an artificialbody in a future?This question can beanswered in several ways, astechnology is having a greatimpact nowadays. Someyears ago it wasunimaginable. Nowadaysthanks to all theimprovements in medicalsciences we are able toreplace a part of our bodywith an artificial one. Perhapssomeday the mind can be

moved to an artificial body. But to raise this issue weneed to first ask what thehuman mind is. Is it just abunch of data that can bemoved from one place toanother? Despite the fact thatthere have been lots ofadvances in neuroscience,there is still a lot to bediscovered about the humanbrain. The ability of thehuman brain to allow us toexperience and react to ourenvironment in an apparentlyself-directed way is calledconsciousness. It is whatmakes us the unique, self-reflective creatures that weare. To know if a human mindcan be moved we need toknow if this consciousness ispart of the data in our brain.Furthermore, we still do notknow how much of ourpersonality is determined byour brain. Some scientists,like Steven Pinker, argue thatwe are all born with geneticpredispositions that influenceour psychologies but it isdifficult to tell where theeffects of genes start andwhere they end, particularlyas they are either reinforcedor suppressed by socialexperiences.In the end, what we areproposing is the mind–bodyproblem, that is, the problemof explaining how mentalstates, events and processes(like beliefs, actions andthoughts) are related to thephysical states, events andprocesses, given that thehuman body is a physicalentity and the mind is non-physical.We think that it is impossible,or at least really difficult, totransfer our consciousness toanother body. Even if ascientific process is designedto export the data in ourbrains, there is somethingthat scientists cannot transfer:

our personality.

Coexistence between humanbeings and artificialintelligences.If something inhuman thinks,feels, believes and acts like ahuman being, it should beregarded as such; because if

not, it would be unfair andcould cause the rebellion ofthese ones, as seen in thefilm Blade Runner. On theother hand, an artificialintelligence is not a humanand they should understandthis. They should have rightsbut not the same as we have,because in that case, theycould become better than usand destroy us.Creating a new life, human orartificial, has itsconsequences. We must facethe ethical debate thatconcerns the possibility that in

the near future humans andA.I. could cohabit, perhaps onequal terms. There are fourtypes of opinions regardingthis issue:• There are those whothink that this technologycould be useful to us for allaspects of life and defend itbecause it would not be aproblem to have intelligentrobots in our lives as long aswe respect them as equalsand learn to live with them.• There are also thosewho think that this artificialintelligence is an aberrationand argue that the creation oflife and intelligent beings isjust a divine task and ofprocreation of the species.Some of them believe thecreation and development ofthis technology is completelyimpossible.• A third groupbelieves that this type ofintelligence is an imminentreality and argues thateventually it will destroy us.• Finally, there is thegroup that thinks and arguesthat artificial intelligence willexist and coexist with uswithout any problem. If,eventually, the A.I. destroyedthe human species, it wouldbe our fault for not knowinghow to live with it.The most important thing wehave to deal with when weare creating artificialintelligence is taking intoaccount that, eventually, theywill have to make decisionsthat are now reserved only forhumans, such as decidingwho to save in a car accident.Probably there is still a longway until we can develop afull A.I. so its recognition ashuman is not a present

problem. We think thatartificial intelligences must becreated to improve human’slife. So, perhaps all artificialintelligences must be createdto develop a unique function,and none of them can have afull intelligence that can turnthem into an evil being.

Can we distinguish betweenan A.I. and a human being? Yes, we can. There are somedifferences between anartificial intelligence and ahuman being:• Our brain can adapt

to a difficult situation andlearn, while in an A.I the samestimulus will lead always tothe same result.• We are rationalbeings, but also emotional.Until now any artificialintelligence has definitelyshown the ability to developown feelings.• We can trace indetail the route that followsthe information in an A.I. andwhere it is stored. In our brainthis is not so simple.Several tests and thoughtexperiments have beendeveloped to decide whetherthe subject who is doing thetest is a human or an A.I. Themost important test is theTuring test, developed byAlan Turing in 1950. In 1937this author had written howthe perfect machine wouldbe. Turing´s perfect machineor “universal machine” wouldbe able to communicatethrough symbols anddrawings.The Chinese room is athought experiment that triesto show that a machine couldpass the Turing test, becauseit does not meanunderstanding the language,but only relating symbols.Anyway, it is difficult to saywhether a time will comewhen we cannot distinguishhuman and artificialintelligence. The developingof A.I. has changed over time.Now there are two mainapproaches in A.I.technologies: • The traditional, whichgenerates an A.I. that dividesthe given problem into othersso that it is easier to solveand has fixed rules.• The behavioural,

which consists of adapting tothe different situations by amodel of interactions.This is the main question wehave to think about: up towhat point must we trust amachine to make decisions,when it can never beresponsible for them? Theycan help us to choose thebest options but the finaldecision must be made by us.

Updating Isaac Asimov´slawsIsaac Asimov (1920-1992)was an American author anduniversity professor known forhis literary works of sciencefiction. Throughout the courseof his life, as a result of hispassion for robots, hedeveloped the three laws ofrobotics which still arecurrently used as a referencefor the ethical development ofrobotics:• A robot may notinjure a human being or,through inaction, allow ahuman being to come toharm.• A robot must obeythe orders given by humanbeings except where suchorders would conflict with theFirst Law.• A robot must protectits own existence as long assuch protection does notconflict with the First orSecond Laws.In our opinion, he did a greatjob developing these threelaws, but we would add to thelist the next ones:• Robots shouldcommunicate humans anycontradiction between lawsand ask for a solution. • Robots should not beable to create new robots.• Robots should not beused in war or unethical

activities.One problem with the laws iswhat we consider “human”and the possibility of robots tothink by themselves. Otherproblems are theresponsibility of the damagesthey can cause andcoexistence with humans.

April Fools' Day is on 1 Aprilevery year. It is a perfect day todiscover your inner joker andplay pranks and tricks to make afool out of your friends andfamily, with jokes ranging fromthe innocent to the cruel. But aprankster must be sure to endthe mischief before noonotherwise they, themselvesbecome the April Fool!The origin of April Fools' Day isuncertain. Some believe that itdates back to 1582 whenFrance changed from the JulianCalendar to the GregorianCalendar i.e. New Year's Daychanged from the first of April tothe first of January. Those thatdid not receive the news aboutthe change were called fools forcelebrating New Year on thewrong day and they wereembarrassed by being paraded

through the streets with a paperfish attached to their back,called the April Fish whichsymbolised gullibility becausefish are easily caught. Othersbelieve that the day is so calledbecause it is linked to the firstday of spring and Mother Nature

makes fools out of everyone bychanging the weather rapidlyand unpredictably.

In 1700, the tradition becamepopularised and since then ithas been celebrated every year.The earliest pranks were quite

tame for example sendingpeople on fake errands orputting signs on people's backsthat say 'Kick Me' but in the mostrecent years the tricks havebecome more daring and moreoutrageous with some peoplefaking their deaths or even

terrorist attacks.However, the majority of tricksare played in good humour andare usually very funny! Here are

the most famous April Fools'pranks ever carried out:1) The Spaghetti Harvest - In1957 the BBC broadcasted a

documentary showing Swissfarmers picking freshly grownSpaghetti from plants.

2) The Left-Handed Burger - In1998 Burger King advertised a'Left-Handed Whopper' which

had been specially designed forleft-handed diners by rotatingeverything 180 degrees. 3) Flying Penguins - In 2008 theBBC showed a video clip ofpenguins flying, claiming thatthey were travelling to SouthAmerica to escape the harshAntarctic climate.5) A High-Chair for Dogs - In2011 Ikea made and released ahigh chair for dogs. It is very hard to avoid pranksand tricks on April Fools' Daysince they can be foundeverywhere, if someone close toyou hasn't pranked you at homeor at work then you can still becaught out by the media; thetelevision, the radio, and theinternet for example, with manyYoutubers making fake Youtubeaccounts or making prankvideos. But most famous are theApril Fools' played by the

King Harald Bluetooth’s legend, mythand reality. A vikingual interactive study

both in paper and the cyberspace.

By 4th ESO D students @ Computer Science

Everything began when he was doing his experiments. He had beenworking in that project for months and he was almost there but itdidn’t still work, he was working under the clock for the newtechnological park in Munich that was about to be inaugurated andhis invention was the talk of the town in that moment. It was time tobegin with B plan, it was not a safe one but it had to take place adramatic change if he wanted to finish it for the next week. Anotherproblem was the name of the invention, he had no idea.As he was born in the Netherlands he was used to work with a littlelight but in that workshop it was really dark, so he had to put up theblinds. Now that the atmosphere was lighter he was able to startworking. He stayed for five ours working without any rest when hefinished his creation. The device resulting was a bit ugly but hehopped it would work. When he started up the system it made anelectric sound and started becoming more and more intense. Thenthe lights went out. He had to plug the device again. And he did...But something went wrong.(To be continued here) ->

The shape of the drakkars could be seen in the distance, through the lightof dawn. Six ships full of armed men were ready to assault. Theysurpassed the men on the beach in great numbers. As the boats gotnearer, the men on the beach started to feel scared, but they were notgoing to surrender so easily.

-“Wilhelm! Go with the archers to the top of the cliffs and get ready to shootas soon as Körrick’s men set foot on the sand.”- Harald shouted to hisfriend. “And you Rodrick, come on! Get your axe ready and follow me tothe rocks.”

-“I’m coming my king!”

Some time afterwards they were still waiting behind the huge rocks, feelinganxious and afraid.

-“Why did you get involved in this war Lord Blåtand? You’ve always hatedwar,you’re a natural at solving conflicts peacefully. What happened thistime? – Rodrick whispered to Harald.

– “This time it was impossible to do so. Körrick is such a stubborn andaggressive man that I wasn’t able to reach an agreement with him. Whenhe is dead, we will talk to his son, who is more intelligent than his fatherand we will make peace again. At least, that’s what I hope. Now silence,they’re almost here”.

Two minutes later, a low and powerful roar could be heard from the hills.Immediately after, dozens of arrows were falling to the beach. Körrick hadjust arrived.

-“It is time to meet Körrick!”- thought Harald.
