SPIDER'S STUDY

 NEWS

A team of scientists found that predatory spiders eat an estimated 400 to 800 tones of prey per year. This number is at least equal or double what all humans eat of fish and meat during a year. Their apettities are even larger than sea mammals, which eat 280 to 500 million of prey anually.

The majority spider species (which are around 45.000) eat insects or collembola, also known as springtails. According to a researcher from the University of Basel, at this point, it is a well-known fact that the arachnids are the most dangerous enemies against insects, next to ants and birds; they help to reduce the quantity of insects.And he also said spiders are helpful because they have an essential contribution to mantaining the ecological balance of nature.

Scientists hope this news will become a surprising fact for population and it helps to increase the people appreciation for spiders.

His perspective of life is simple and joyful because he's always happy and he usually laughs a lot, and he doesn't worry for the things more than it's necessary.

GOOD MANNERS

YOUR SAY 

Shall boys have the same “good manners” than before?

When you are knowing a man you will watch over everything he do but when you have to present him to your family it’s an interrogation. Especially our grandmothers pay attention on his manners with you; if he pays for the meal in the first date, if he waits for you to go through the door first, if he accompanies you at home…

Unfortunately a lot of this manners are very sexist and I think it counts a lot in a relationship. For example, why does the man pay for the meal?  Maybe because years ago men have a job while the women were at home, looking for the children. Now, and in the past too, women are more than a simple babysitting, we have a job and we can pay for the meal, we don’t need a boy to do this.

RESEARCH PROJECT CHOICE

YOUR SAY
BACTERIA AND ANTIBIOTICS

I decided to work on bacteria and antibiotics because since 1928, when Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin, these medicines became very common and increased the life expectancy of the population. Despite their therapeutic properties they can damage our organism if we don't take care with them. 

For this reason my objectives were to get informed about the mechanisms that antibiotics use against bacteria and bacteria resistance to antibiotics, because bacteria can also develop mechanisms to avoid the effect of the substance. I also wanted to check out the antimicrobial action of expired and non-expired antibiotics and compare them.

DIALOGUE

- OMG! Have you seen my big nose on this photo? Why it has to be always on the foreground?

-You're stupid! Your nose is quite beautiful. I mean, it's a simple nose, it isn't bigger than the others.

- I really have to do something with it.. I have been thinking about get a surgery. 

-You're crazy! I think your face is beautiful and maybe if you get an operation your nose become uglier, and I don't knew if you have money enough to pay for it.
I've been thinking about getting a credit from the bank.

-You're fucking mad. Even if they accept to lend you this amount of money, how could you get it back? However, if you get serurgy you will never change the fact that you're not natural. It's like getting a tattoo, it is forever!

-I want to get a surgery anyway! It's my life and if you're my best friend you must accept it. It's not about what people think, it's about feeling comfortable with myself. I know it's a big step, but it's my decision and nothing could change that! 

- OK! You'r right! Although I don't think it is a good idea I will sopport you.
