SPECIAL REPORT

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

For several years, a Japanese company has been working on a robotic suit that could help the old and the sabled move like an able-bodied person. With their latest version, the Hal-5, they seem to have finally done it. Comprised of robotic limbs and a backpack containing a battery and computer system, the HAL is strapped on to the body, and entirely controlled by thought. When the wearer tries to move, tiny nerve signals in the skin are detected by HAL and converted into movements. So advanced is the technology that the company is already renting the robot suits.

MUSIC

THE BEATLES

Pop music is the aural equivalent of the fashion industry-transient. So when John Lennon provoked the Beatles split in 1970, he could never have imagined that their albums would still be bestsellers in 2009. During those 40 years other bands gave come and gone, some selling more records than the Beatles, having more consecutive number ones, or playing live to more people, and yet no other band has ever been able to equal the Beatles. So what makes them so special? Firstly, in 1963, they were in the right place at the right time. After decades marked by war, economic depression, social and political conservatism, the world waws ready for change.

CNN

Trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, was rubbing Tilikum after a noontime show when the 12,000-pound whale grabbed her and pulled her in, said Chuck Tompkins, head of animal training at all SeaWorld parks. Park officials say the veteran trainer drowned.

Audience member Eldon Skaggs said Brancheau's interaction with the whale appeared leisurely and informal at first. But then the whale "pulled her under and started swimming around with her," he told The Associated Press.

HUMAN- THE KILLERS

I've done the exercises of this song. I tired the level begginer and it's easy. This exercise consists in put the words in the blanks and if you don't put the words, the song doesn't go.





HUMAN LYRICS


I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind

And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could

And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye, wish me well
You've gotta let me go

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know
Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Are we human or are we dancer?
Are we human or are we dancer?
