TED TALKS: Lisa Nip - How humans could evolve to survive in space

When human began to explore space found our limit. We explored the woods and the Jungle and we learned to survive. Now we have used our resources. Nowadays we have certain limits on the earth, in the future we might need to find another place to live and this could be other planets.

We have to think about transport, atmosphere and water. A problem is how to take provisions from Earth and how to grow food for ourselves. The talk says that the difficulties are for example that the human body is not adaptable after one year.

The bones and muscles waste in microgravity. She suggests that robots can help and biology and microbe technology can develop to help us change the human body in the environment.

With microbiology, we could change the genetics of the human body. She says we have made GMO's genetically modified organisms with which get rice and food modified. She says that human is evaluating, like bacterias and organisms. It is not a question of how, but a is a question of when our genetic evolution is finish for do it.

I think so many people dream about this, but the way to do it is very difficult. We need to evolve and find a way to manipulate the human genetic code that is safe and without mutations unwanted.

White Shark Population

When the bald eagle population grows so many people think that was good news. But what happens if the population of predators like white sharks grows?

People are frightened because they think it is dangerous to swim in summer in the sea. For example, the surfer Mick Fanning was attacked during a race in Carolina (U.S.A). 

The sharks change their behaviour with global warming. There is a very important paper about the sea environment because if the ecosystem changes, shark populations can increase and so other fish species fall. Some species have declined by 90%.

But there always have been shark attacks but now with smart phones we see more attacks and we worry more.

Animal protection laws succeeded in saving mammals like seals and sharks but now they are closer to our beaches. We can coexist if we have information and people are talking about using drones to see sharks.

I think that it's true. We have to change our minds and diminish the possibility of shark attacks. A good idea doesn't put a fish farm near the coast.

Ebola lingers in semen for nine months

Ebola could come back. It could be a problem again. For three or more years we have heard news reports about the Ebola Crisis in Sierra Leone. This virus has been extinguished and stopped. There are now many survivors.

A new research study in New England Journal of Medicine reports that in tests, two-thirds or 66% of male survivors are carrying the virus in their semen. Men who have survived Ebola are being encouraged to wear condoms. The society who helps survivors the health clinics and community hospitals should try to organise the use of condoms.

Margaret Chan, who is the director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO) is worried. She said to the BBC it worrying because they don't know. She thinks people need to take precaution and advise survivors to use contraceptions.

I think that the measures might not be sufficient because they can't control all the people who may have the virus in their cells.

Contraception - anticonceptiu

TED TALKS: Thomas Peschak - Dive into an ocean photographer's world

Thomas Peschak first fell in love with the ocean world when he was 10 yeas old. Thomas found that taking photographs of the hidden world helps people learn to love it. But nowadays this ocean world is difficult to found, for this reason, he becomes a conservation photographer.

He photographs animals and ecosystems (sharks, whales, turtles and marine life) for National Geographic magazine. His best locations are in South Africa where photographs sardines, dolphins and sharks and Indonesia (Maldives) where photographs manta ray and an archipelago of coral islands.

In South Africa see who dolphins and sharks aren't enemies, dolphins help the sharks to hunt with a way more effective.

As well as he has been in places not protected like Hanifaru, due to his pictures this places become a protected zones.

In my opinion, the work of this men is very important for the Earth because we need something which makes aware about own acts.

Chinese smog

Nowadays the pollution in Beijing (China) has become extreme.

The effects of this pollution are similar to that of a nuclear winter. Moreover, there isn't the sun because the pollution covers it.

That effect is that air has become toxic for people, animals, plants, food... for this reason the people have to put a mask on her mouth and nose for protecting her health.

This article shocked me because if we do not look after our planet, nobody will do for us. Our obligation, I think that we have to do is look after the Earth for our future generations. I hope that we have time for resolve this big problem.

TED TALKS: Jason deCaires Taylor: An underwater art museum, teeming with life

Jason deCaries build underwater museums in Grenada and Mexic, also he build a underwater botanical garden which represent the climatic change and the protection of the sea. In the Bahamas he make a statue of five meters.

He use a cement with a neutral pH for that reason his job is more stable and for that reason coral can live in. Also can live in fishs and other kinds of animals because his statues are hollow. All his statues are awesome becuase the nature finish his work and they are part of the sea.

He do it becuase he think that we don't protect our oceans enough. And one way of thinking about this is that we don't regard our oceans as sacred, and we should. 

TED TALKS: Carl Safina: What are animals thinking and feeling?

Carl Safina make a study to understand the feelings of animals. 

The first neurons came from jellyfish. Jellyfish gave rise to the first chordates. The first chordates gave rise to the first vertebrates. The vertebrates came out of the sea, and here we are. A neuron looks the same in a crayfish, a bird or you. Dolphins have a bigger brain with more convultions. Okey, they  have brains, but what does that have to say about minds?

He observe elephants. He saw that the elfants know where is a human here and if that human is dangerous or not, they can differentiate. They have been watching us for much longer than we have been watching them. They know us better than we know them. We have the same imperatives: take care of our babies, find food, try to stay alive. 

We are the animal more compassionate, most violent, most creative and most destuctive. Those animals of Noah's ark deemed worthy of salvation is in mortal danger now and their flood is we.

TED TALKS: Angela Lee: the key of success? Grit

Anglea Lee was a teacher who do tests and exams. She saw that the marks of the best students and the marks of the worst students don't have so much difference. She thinks that in education lack a prespective psychological for be able to understood how learns the students. Due to that she go to university to learn psycology.

She allways ask: who have success and why? For that reason she make a study shows the key of success isn't only IQ, talent or pshysical healt. The most important thing is have grit. Gritt is perseverance and passion for very long term goals. But we don't know how building grit.

Whales in Cap de Creus

This year, in September 6 whales came to the Cap de Creus. We can  think that it isn't typical, but it isn't. Some kind of whales are typical from here.

One of those whales had a big scar due to boats. For that reason I remember that we have to respect mammals and animals because so many are in danger of extinction.

The firs time that I saw whales was in Madeira. They were free and wild because of that I didn't see many. I wanted to see them more, it was impressive.

Doctors weigh in on dangers of Wi-Fi signal exposure

We all think using phones and hand-held mobiles is safe. Some doctors think this is not true. 

Children are more at risk because their brain is softer and small so the radiation from mobiles can efect them.

Studies show that radiation exposure can damage health. We know that microwaves can be dangerous but we are realising now that Wi-Fi tablets and smartphones emit signals.

Their is a carcinogenic hazard (cancer). Also memory loss and infertility. For that reason it is imoortant to limit our exposure. We should put the phone and tablet on airplane mod. It can reduce a lot of radiation. Some doctors suggests turning off Wi-Fi at night and using bluetooth

I think that can be true but maybe this doctor is exaggerating the dangers because it can help to develop the illness,bur it isn't the only cause that produces infertility, memory loss... Turning off could help to prevent, but will not be the solution for the illness.

TED talks: Free diving

David Blaine does extreme things that doctors consider imposible. He lived in a cover up coffin one week, he froze herself tree days and tree nights... His next pursuit was see how long he could hold his breath.

He informs about that. He met a top neurosurgeon and he asked him, how long could he go without air? And he said to me that anything over six minutes you have a serious risk of hypoxic brain damage. Also they told him that if he is a magician, he can build up an delusion of not breathing, it will be much easier. David creates a rebreather, but clearly wasn't going to work. Then he thought about the craziest idea of all ideas: to actually do it.

The first thing that he learned is when you're holding your breath, you should never move, because that wastes energy and your heart rate down. Then he learned how hyperventilating because that eliminates CO2 from your blood and that make easy hold your breath. Moreover he starts a diet compoused by small meals.

Afterward of 4 months his heart rate down to 38 and he could hold his breth 7 min. After that, David trys to make slower his heart ratein in extreme conditions due to that he held his breath knot. He lost consciousness and they had to revive.

Finally he decided to do it with pure O2. As well he slept in a hypoxic tent every night. What that does is, you start building up the red bloodcell count in your body,  which helps you carry oxygen bettter. His first attempt on pure O2, I was able to go up to 15 minutes.

For make the tv program he had to tie his foots and do it vertical, because with that way the spector can see David. Normally his hear rate was 38 but in the tv program day his heart rate was 150. After 11 minutes he don't feels his limbs. After 15 min he start to undergo ischemia. However he resist until 17 min 4 s. Finally he reflect about magic and he say that magic is about train and experiment.

I am a amateur of freediving and I can hold my breath 3 min. I am impress about what this man has achieve, but I disagree when he say that he has to learn how hyperventilating. Hiperventilating eliminates CO2, that is true, but so many freedivers don't recommend it because it speed up the syncope and that increments the riskiness.

The delay of Winds of Winter

George R. R. Martin published in his live journal that he couldn't finish his book the publication was delayed and he admitted that the fans of the series will have more information than the fans who are reading the books.

For this reason, they asked if the series was a spoiler for the book. His answer was "Yes in some ways".

This last year the fans who have read the books when he was in a resteurant they saw him abd were critical of him saying "shouldn't you be writing and not eating. Also, the fans said things like "Be careful or you might die before you finish the books". They threatened him.

He defended himself and said he needed to go out to fans conventions and so he didn't have time to write.

I think that the author has to have time to write more chapters because when he does die, he will be remembered for his finished work. We need to give him more time.

The fear hunter of the ocean it's now the prey

Scientists are bewildered because they find dead great sharks in different parts of the world.
Which animal is bright and big enough for killing a great white shark?

Eli Martinez, an expert in sharks, has done different experiments to find out the answer to this question.

Eli has a  theory: another more evolved than sharks, has found out the shark's weak spot.
This weak spot is the tonic immobility.


Tonic immobility is a defence  mechanism usual by many animals. In the event of shark, perhaps that turns on when the shark is face up, that makes the shark susceptible.
But this isn't the only way to make the shark susceptible, also we can do when we stroke in the lower part o f the snout.

Now I explain the experiment which Eli did to confirm this theory:
First, he does the test with a silky shark (one of the fastest marine animals of the world, but also it's a small shark).  First he catches the shark by his tail and after spins it.

                              First                          











                                 Second







Now he tests with whitetip reef shark. This time he puts on chainmail doublet to protect himself from the bites of the sharks and he checks the other way for make the tonic immobility in sharks.

                                 First


       

                             Second






He checks his theory with small sharks, now he will checks with great sharks. But now he takes off the chainmail doublet to improve mobility.

First he confirms the theory with the tiger shark:


With this shark he has problems because when he strokes in the lower part o f the snout, the shark attempts to bite  him. But bit by bit he accomplished.






Finally he checks the theory with the Great White Shark:

But the shark attacks him and he decides to go into the cage.

When the sharks attack Eli he accomplished to caress his snout for one second.

That make the shark groggy. He thinks if he can do that more time, he will get the same result with others sharks.






Now only he has to find the responsible. This is why he goes to the place where appear 100 deads sharks. After analyzing the ambient he decides to see a recorder where they record the scene.
In all of them appear the fin of the killer whale.
For this we can say: killers whales learn to find the weak spot of sharks and they use this to eat.

Aire plane accident?

This week on tuesday (24 March of 2015), a big and dramatic accident happened.

One of the aeroplanes of German Wings had an accident in the French Alps. In the Alps at a height of 2000m the aircraft went to 38.000 feet. But when the aeroplane was  cruising the Alps, the pilot went to the bathroom and  when he went back  the co-pilot didn't open the door. The co-pilot didn't want to. It is believed the pilot in the last minutes, tried to open the door with an axe. We think this because they found the black box and listened to the recording. The biggest piece of the plane crash found measure 2 square.
In the aeroplane 150 people were travelling, the majority were catalans and germans.

In the house of the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz they found evidence that he had psychological problems and his ex grilfriend explained to the police:
- One day Andreas said to me: " I will be remembered".

This co-pilot had 600 hours of experience and was 27 years old. I think, that isn't enough to drive a plane alone.
Now, for the security, nobody will be able to stay alone in the cockpit.

But what will happens if the pilot goes to the bathroom when he is cruising over Paris ??
