By Inma Román Date today 09/03/11 ROCKET ROBBED, ASTRONAUT ENRAGED When everybody in the ISS was waiting for the supplies, only the rocket driver appeared floating on the gate. Last Saturday, James Oldman, who was supposed to arrive at the ISS (International Space Station) in his shuttle to provide all kinds of supplies for the astronauts who stay there, was robbed in his way to the station by two aliens from Mars whose spacecraft had broken down. Oldman stopped to help them repair their vehicle, but when he met them, they threw him away and they got into the rocket and escaped. When Oldman was rescued, he looked as if he had lost his temper: a thin thread of slobber was sliding from his mouth. ‘ Why are you so angry?’ asked their workmates, ‘Eventually you have been saved and we have enough supplies to wait for another shipment!’ Oldman answered that they had stolen his furry teddy bear and, without it, he shouldn’t sleep nowhere near as good as he used to.

By Alicia Morugán Coronado TECHNOLOGY RETUNE YOUR DTT CHANNELS From today, the DTT channels into the 800 MHz band of electromagnetic spectrum begin to broadcast into a new band, which will be used in telecommunication services The reallocation of frequencies of electromagnetic spectrum (airwaves) over Spain, that is carried out from the analogical switch-off, newly force Spanish people, from today, to retune some of the DTT channels to access them. The channels affected are: channel 66 (Telesport, Veo 7, AXN, Intereconomy), channel 67 (Four, Big Brother 24H, Channel + Two, the Sixth), channel 68 (Telefive, The Seven, FDF, Disney Channel) and channel 69 (Antenna 3, Neox, Nova, Goal TV). This change is due to release of the 800 MHz band of airwaves to be used in telecommunication services. Until now, the affected channels have been used for DTT with national coverage. Their relocation will use the frequencies that were free after the cessation of analogical broadcasts. The process of release of the 800 MHz band of radio spectrum and frequency reassignment will be done in different phases and stages, until January 1, 2015, as the Audiovisual Council of Navarra (CoAn) explained. Today, the affected channels have begun to broadcast in the new frequency and, in the previous ones, they will provide labels or tickers to spectators with all the information needed to make the change. After a three-month period, at the latest, they will only broadcast by the new frequency so, it will be necessary to retune the TV or external decoder if you haven’t done this action. Initially, it isn’t necessary to require the services of an approved antenna installer. By Luis Requena

By Marina González Antón Date today 09/03/11 Technology and women According to the latest polls, women students in High School show more and more interest for science and technologies studies, but then, most of the jobs are taken by men. Traditionally, women have been interested in studying Social Sciences, History, Arts and Education. When a woman studies at university, she normally chooses the so-called Arts degrees. According to the study carried out by Studies Consulting Co., 55% of high school girl students have showed interest in scientific or technological degrees. But when the study asked them what degree they’ll study only 20% of the girls chose a scientific degree. The reason was that the best jobs in this area are usually taken by men. Nowadays, the percentage of women studying a scientific or technological degree is different from the one fourteen years ago. If there were only 10% of women studying these degrees, now the percentage has risen up to 15%. Yes, the world changes but some things more than others and at a different pace. By Ana Pérez

By Raul Mira Date today 09/03/11 *AIDS TREATMENT HAS BEEN FOUND BY SCIENTISTS OF THE UNIVERSITY MIGUEL HERNÁNDEZ IN ELCHE, SPAIN.* Yesterday, the main researcher of the group of genetics announced that they have created a novel vaccination that could treat AIDS. The vaccine consists of a new virus which is called AIDSout. Once the vaccine has been jabbed, AIDS proteins are recognized by AIDSout and the AIDS virus, which lives inside human cells, is destroyed. Furthermore, AIDSout is not harmful for humans because it does not infect healthy cells. Even more, it does not have secondary effects. Only one dose is enough to cure one person and the effect takes almost four months. 'The disadvantage of this kind of treatment is that it cannot prevent new infections by AIDS', said the main researcher. So far, AIDS does not have a treatment and it is widely known that this disease kills lots of people every year.

10. HEALTH NEWS Date today 09/03/11 Benefits of laughing Every person laughs approximately 17 times a day . It is widely known that laughing helps us to show our happiness and enhances our ability to connect with other people, but it has also a lot of physiological effects. A prestigious research group at Oxford University has published several studies about health benefits of laughing during this year. In these studies, they have proved that laugh causes an improvement of our immune system by the activation of T-cells and the production of natural antihistamines. Studies have showed that children watching comedy films tolerate pain easily. In addition to that, laughing is extremely beneficial for people who suffer from hypertension, and that is because when they laugh, the inner walls of their arteries are being expanded, so their blood pressure drops to baseline. Moreover, this group has found that laugh reduces the level of certain hormones which are associated with stress response, so it helps us to fight against depression, anxiety or anger. They are currently trying to find the connection between laughing and diabetes. Their last study has showed that people who watched a funny video after their meal had lesser blood sugar levels than those who watched a drama film.

Medicine is developing more tools to save lives and society is getting over the stigma of the tumor.

As a result, she managed to play the situation down to help patients not to feel alone. Moreover, specifying that her tumor was detected in a routine checkup gives a boost to the programmes of early detection, not only breast tumors, but other tumors. By Palmira Boix.
