This morning when I opened the fridge to take my milk, a really hard smell came out. By seconds, I lost my balance. It was a really horrible smell :(. So I started searching things througth the fridge, and I found the biological weapon:
It was some Spanish omelette from Zaragoza :(

Russian soldiers 'used for sex'

The Russian military is reported to be investigating claims that army conscripts were forced to work as male prostitutes in St Petersburg.
The command of the interior ministry unit denied the claims made by the Soldiers' Mothers human rights group.
The group says it was contacted by a parent of a conscript who had been forced to work as a male prostitute.
Last year, an 18-year-old soldier was so badly beaten that he had to have his legs and genitals amputated.
The BBC's James Rodgers in Moscow says the latest claims follow a series of scandals which have damaged the Russian army's reputation.
A spokeswoman for the Soldiers' Mothers, Ella Polyakova, told the BBC that in St Petersburg there was "a network of clients" who would pay for sex with soldiers.
Older servicemen are said to have forced younger conscripts into prostitution and then taken the money for themselves.
Brutality
The Sychev bullying case drew worldwide attention to Russian army abuses.
Private Andrei Sychev was forced to squat for several hours by fellow soldiers and then tied to a chair and brutally beaten up last year.
As a result he developed gangrene in his legs and genitals, which had to be amputated.
Now permanently disabled, Pte Sychev has just announced that he is to write a book about his ordeal.
Such cases have highlighted the appalling conditions suffered by some Russian service personnel at a time when Russia is seeking a greater role on the world stage, our correspondent

It is really strange feeling when you have 400 square meters for yourself. You really feel sick and alone. To avoid that, I prefer working from home. It is cousier.

Church decorated with human bones

Do you know that there is a chapel decorated with human bones?
The Sedlec Ossuary (a.k.a. Kostnice) is a small Christian chapel decorated with human bones. It's located in Sedlec, which is a suburb in the outskirts of the Czech town Kutna Hora. In 1996 I visited the place and fell madly in love with it.
In 1278 the Cistercian abbot of Sedlec, Henry, traveled to Palestine and the ‘Holy Land’, bringing home a sample of earth from Golgotha which was later, upon his return, sprinkled over the grounds of his local cemetery. The grounds were immediately considered scared, and hence became a much sought after location for relatives to bury their dead. In the 14th century, the Black Death spread the bubonic plague across Europe and now 30,000 bodies all wanted a resting place within the sacred grounds. Such vast numbers of dead led to the creation of the ossuary in 1511 by a half-blind monk who gathered up the bones to be stacked up within the ossuary, making space for new corpses, which were soon taken up by more victims from 15th century Hussite Wars. The ossuary itself is situated in the basement of the All Saint’s Chapel.
Competición de Vehículos no Tripulados

DARPA GRAND CHALLENGE
El DARPA Urban Challenge de este año es probablemente una de las pruebas más duras que se puede someter a la ingeniería actualmente. Se trata de una competición de vehículos no tripulados que se hace anualmente. Dado que las condiciones por donde deben moverse los vehículos cambian anualmente esto supone un gran esfuerzo de investigación aplicada y diseño.
Los vehículos son adaptados para ser capaces de recibir información de su entorno mediante cámaras y sistemas de telemetría y de esta manera poder avanzar en el trazado. El trazado; que es variado anualmente, presenta una multitud de obstáculos de diferente tipo, y de hecho la mayoría de los vehículos no son capaces de soportarlo y deben abandonar a los pocos kilómetros. Un vehículo se considera descalificado si sale del trazado permanentemente o si acaba inutilizado.
Este año el recorrido emulará en 2007 un ambiente urbano, y los vehículos deberán ser capaces de respetar las señales de tráfico y los semáforos; además de cruces e intersecciones. No hace falta subrayar la tremenda labor de ingeniería adaptativa que se requiere. Generalmente los vehículos (que suelen ser furgonetas tipo equipo-A) albergan en el interior potentes ordenadores que controlan cada sistema del vehículo (arranque, tracción, frenado etc) además de tener un exhaustivo control de daños. Estos sistemas suelen montarse redundantemente en standby (dos o tres por dispositivo) con el fin de que en el caso de que falle uno entre el siguiente en funcionamiento.
Por supuesto van protegidos contra golpes y choques. Los vehículos son dotados de cierta inteligencia que les permite calcular el riesgo que asumen al tomar cada trazado.
Este concurso; en el que hay una mayoritaria presencia americana, tiene una serie de fases de clasificación y la prueba final, que este año será el 3 de Noviembre. Sin embargo la localización del trazado final no se conoce hasta Octubre con lo cual hay muy poco tiempo para realizar los típicos cambios de última hora. Los premios son los siguientes: 2 millones de dólares para el vehículo que se clasifique más rápido, y 1 millón y medio millón para el segundo y el tercero.
Un gran número de universidades americanas se presentan a este certamen. Como suelen gozar de financiación abundante sacan a concurso importantes becas de investigación para desarrollo aplicado. Muy interesantes para estudiantes de últimos cursos de carreras. Más información sobre DARPA.

As you know, today is the last day of Noyda at Barcelona. She is moving to Corvallis. I dont understand why she prefers the American's style of life :p more than the Catalan's style of life. I came here from Bilbao because I just wanted to listen from her:
"What are you stilll doing here? Move to Bilbao"
Good luck in Corvallys, Noyda.

I has been raining for 3 days. I am starting to get a bit bored about this weather. The problem is that it rains really hard. The omly thing that I can do is to think in positive "This is good for the woods"
