- Summary

Ex-Met Police assistant commissioner Sir Mark Rowley says it is a disgrace a jailed radical preacher ranks top for search term "British Muslim spokesman" and that "These algorithms are designed to push us towards contentious material because that feeds their bottom line of advertising revenues, by pushing readers to extremist material."
He complains about the fact that sites like google are pushing us into controversial pages that in many cases are radical and encourage violence, to prevent that he demands to the companies to edit her algorithms to prevent that.

I have chosen this new because it proposes a very interesting debate: should we limit what people can see in internet looking after the interests of the majority? And should we give the power to do this to a machine like an algorithm?

In one hand if we limit what people can see, like blocking extremists web pages and news we could improve the security of our countries because less people can be influenced with terrorists’ acts, and the people wouldn’t have fear to that people which is the main point of the terrorists.

In the other hand if we start blocking pages who we decide what pages have to be blocked and what none? We leave that responsibility to an algorithm or we create an organization that does that? Who controls the overwatches?

All of this question have to be solved and quickly because with the facilities of the world of today to access the internet more and more bad people are starting to create pages or posting things that could be dangerous.

Criptozoología Alex Lapuerta

Criptozoología La criptozoología significa literalmente: 'el estudio de los animales ocultos' y es una pseudociencia que se ocupa de la búsqueda de animales cuya existencia no ha sido probada. Los animales de interés criptozoológico son llamados «críptidos», término creado por John Wall en 1983. Esto incluye a especímenes vivos de especies extintas, como algunos dinosaurios, animales que carecen de evidencia pero aparecen en mitos y leyendas, como Piegrande, el Chupacabras o el Monstruo del lago Ness; y animales salvajes lejos de sus zonas geográficas, como gatos fantasma. La criptozoología no es una rama reconocida de la zooligía ni de ninguna otra disciplina científica. Es un ejemplo de pseudociencia debido a que confía fuertemente en pruebas anecdóticas, relatos y supuestos avistamientos.

Hallan animales bajo un kilómetro de hielo en la Antártida - Resumen El equipo de científicos que ha perforado un kilómetro de hielo sobre el lago Mercer, a 600 kilómetros del polo sur, en la Antártida. Los investigadores hicieron este descubrimiento cuando examinaron algunos sedimentos situados bajo el lago. Allí encontraron restos de algas que vivieron hace millones de años cuando la Antártida era mucho más cálida y de animales mucho más recientes. Entre ellos hallaron carcasas de tardígrados u osos de agua, un pequeño crustáceo similar a una gamba y zarcillos quizás procedentes de una planta o de un hongo. - Fuente https://www.abc.es/ciencia/abci-hallan-animales-bajo-kilometro-hielo-antartida-201901182148_ noticia.html#ns_ campaign=mod-outbrain&ns_mchannel=abc.es&ns_source=organico&ns_linkname= desktop-tablet&ns_fee=AR23_1fila - Fecha de publicación                                                                                   19

THE BONOBAS HELP THEIR CHILDREN TO FLIRT SUMMARY Most mothers of mammals take care of their children until they reach adulthood, when they become detached from them or become independent. But with the bonobas the concern goes further; they take care that their children mate, even stopping the attemps of other males. Bonobo moms are capable of everything for make their children parents. When their childs try to mate and another males prevent it, mothers chase away these males. After several years of observing four groups of bonobos that inhabit the "Congolese jungles, the authors of the study found that where the mother is present, adult children are up to 3,14 times more likely to be parents than other males. However, the bonobas do not do the same with their daughters. Despite several years of investigation, the scientists didn't detect behaviours that facilitate their mating.
