Blindness, the final solution?

Researchers from Bar-Ilan University in Israel, developed a technology by a small camera on a bionic eye, allows people who born blind, see without any need for surgery.

According to experts, the compressed information from the camera is transmitted wirelessly to the cornea.

Hebrew Scientists explained that this new technology is a camera that receives visual information from the environment and transmits signals to a bionic contact lens.

"Lens passes signals through electrodes to the cornea and from there to the sensory areas of the brain, which creates a stimulus that mimics the visual information, "said Professor Zeev Zalevsky, director of research.

The scientist explained that the compressed information after being amplified electrically transmitted from the tiny camera by wireless. The lens will be about 10 000 small electrodes to stimulate the cornea.

«The cornea is the richest part of the eye in sensory nerves and has tens of thousands of sensory points where you can plug the small electrodes" he added.

Zalevsky also stressed that "in this way, even a person who is blind from birth, can see. In blind people develop sensory areas that receive information from the cornea, such as regions that allow them to read braille with the sense of touch.

The bionic eye is drawn up as "a braille lens that allows blind people see in a manner similar to reading in this system, he added.

I think that this technology is great news for humanity, especially since gives sight to the blind from birth without surgery or harm other senses or vital organs and brings closer the science fiction to the reality.

THE EVOLUTION.

What do you think? Will there be more changes in the world? Will more kind of animals exist in our planet?

Different scientists ,at first , they thought that the kind of living things was created by God and they thought that the organisms didn´t change.
Always our world has been influenced by the theory´s religious and always It has mistaked.
This is true because we come from the monkeys and we have evolucionated  , we can find different evidences how the monkeys have a tail and we have the space of the back the (cosis) without use and also we have the appendix , they  ate a lot of vegetables and they need a long intestine to digest the aliments, with the time this organ has lost the use  because the population of the world have changed a diet more varied .
This is more complicated to explain  and they are some examples ...

The theory in animals:
Darwin and Wallace found the same conclusion in a distinct way to explain the evolution and the origin of the living things.To do this first , they had refused the Larmack´s theory .
Darwin travelled around the world during 5 years and he could find the necessary information.

-The food was limited so the living things could not grow and reproduce.So...
Exist between the organisms a war to obtain the survival. If It was born more individuals that food they can find , it would produce a problem between the organisms. The animals that have the best adaptations , they will can survive

-The individuals of a population they have a variability. In the group of the individuals of a same kind they are not identical they have different measure or colour.

-The enviroment selects the best organisms adapted. In a population some organisms have beneficial characteristics that give them an higher probability to survive and also to reproduce.The other part that has a dangerous characteristics they have less probability to survive and to reproduce.

An example in giraffes.
In a population of giraffes the individuals present changes. It will be some individuals with the neck longer than others and the legs too.
In dangerous periods when there is not water , the giraffes with a long neck they can eat the food that is in the highest part of the trees and the others they can´t survive so there will be more animals with a big neck and big legs.
(The giraffes come from antelope so this is the reason that the giraffes have a big measure , they have developped the organs)

If we return to the first quetion , It will be probably that our population will suffer changes .
The technology , probably affects us.

The ugly truth.

Today we talk about responsibility, freedom, equality, justice, solidarity... but why? I mean, we talk, talk and talk but we don't do anything. People try to be something that they aren't only to fit in. That's why our society doesn't function.
The problem starts in the education we give to children. It is based in the freedom and in the responsibility that they're going to have when they grow up, but, is it true? It is suppose that you win freedom when you're older and maybe because of that children want to be teenagers and enter in the high school because they think there they can do all they want. I also thought that, it was like 'It will be amazing, we're going to the high school, now we're teenagers and we can be freer than in the school' but I was wrong. High school is like school or even worst. You can't do anything. I'm not saying that they should eliminate all the rules because we need rules but we need useful rules.
For example, in my high school if you want to go to the toilet your teacher has to sign in your diary asking for the keys. With that they ‘prevent’ students that smoke in the toilets. 
You can’t go out. At first you think it’s good but if someone wants to go out he will find the way to go out, and if you forbid something it will be more attractive and there will be more people who wants to do it.
You can’t fill the bottle of water. That is too stupid. You have to die of thirst because is forbidden use the fountain.
There are more and more but we don’t obey all the rules because some of them are a little bit stupid.With that I’m trying to say that we teach children to be responsible but we don’t give them the opportunity to be it because we don’t allow them to do what they want. This doesn’t occur only with children, also adults have to obey the law so, are we really free?

How to be an Ironman.

In the world there are a lot of different sports, some of them are more diffiult than others but, what's is the hardest sport?

Well, in my opinon this question has a possible answer: the Ironman.

When we talk about Ironman, we are not talking about the film, we refer to a type of triathlon but in an extreme way, this mixure of sports is formed by a race in which the athlete has to swim 4 km, to cycle 180 km and finally to run a marathon (42,2 km); but not during all your live, the athlete has to do it in less than 17 hours.

This “type of die” has their beginnings in Hawaii, where the most important Ironman race takes place. It's not very common to see an Ironman race, the're only few cities that are able to organize it. Here in Spain, people who are interested in participate in one of this races, have the possibility of doing it in Lanzarote.

It is not necessary to say that to take part in an Ironman you have to spend several months with a hard level of training, in all the differents sports that the triathlon is composed by.

From my own point of view I think that it's necessary to make a great physical effort to finish one of these races, but I like the sport and challenges so I wish that one day I will cross that finish line and became in an Ironman.

Here's a comedy video about a men who took part in an Iroman race and achieved his goal.

BORN, GROW, REPRODUCE AND DIE.

When you are a child one of the first things that you learn is that the living things born, grow, reproduce and die, but my question is: do children really believe in death? 
All of them know the word but not the meaning, no one never believe that he or some loved one are going to die at some moment. When they start to thinking this, they stop wishing grow and don’t want to be adults to not die. They prefer imagine that they are going to be children forever and never is going to arrive their hour.  But this doesn’t occur only with the children, also the adults think this. There are some innocent adults that believe they will live forever.
People usually avoids the topic, they don’t want to name, but why? Why after all this time nobody sees death as something natural? I think that it is to avoid the anxiety produced by not knowing when we or loved one will die, or for the suffering that produces losing someone that you love. But, if before or after it is going to occur, wouldn't it be better make us aware? Maybe yes, in this way we wouldn't hurt so much the death, or maybe no, because we would live always afraid that we may die. I think the best would be to have an intermediate point, can talk about death naturally, but also live without the fear of dying.
It is clear that death is always going to be a taboo topic, no one likes the idea of die, is not it?




CARMEN VERA TORRES.

Mermaids

A mermaid is a beautiful woman with fish tail instead of legs. Actually, we think that  mermaids are in stories and are fictional characters. But it may be different.

In 2000, a lot of dead whales appeared in the beach of Washington  (this is called stranding). The deaths were produced by the navy with powerfuls sonars. Two friends who was in the beach said that they found a body. Then the navy hidden the body with the remains of the whales, and the boys changed their statement.

In 2004, Brayan McCorney, Paul, Rebecca a group of biologiste were investigating this stranding, they dicovered in the bodies of whales stranges objects like spears. But these objects were not new. Many fishermen had found these spears at high seas. Also the group of biologists recorded a sound of an animal without identifying. With evidence of damage to the sonar and the recording, they wanted that the navy removed the sonars because they were killing the wales and probably a new type of animal.

After that, the the doctor McCorney with his team went to a stranding, in Africa coast

The doctor Dittman the director of biology of South Africa showed a shark next to a strange body. The body had a part of dolphin, other like a seal and peculiars bones. This white shark had nailed a stingray sting. But this shark didn’t eat these animals. 

In a laboratory Brayan, Paul, Rebecca was reconstructing the body, they think that the animal was a dolphin but there were bones which they couldn’t rebuild. Also carved wooden pieces was found with the body. The doctor Stephen Pearsall help the team with their problem. They discovered that the animal had a tail fish, pelvis and phalanges hands like a human.

The wood with the stingray sting, was a part of a spears maked by this strange animal. The skull of the animal could produce sounds similar to dolphins and this was the sound that the doctor McCorney had recorded long time ago.

This was the last test which confirmed it was a mermaid.
