FASCINATING PEOPLE, Part 14
Mitar Tarabic lived in Kremna, Serbia in the latter half of the 19th century. An illiterate shepherd, a loner who enjoyed the company of his flock of sheep more than the company of people. Mitar started predicting things confiding what he'd "been told" to the local Orthodox priest, including -- it turned out with absolute accuracy - the time and circumstances of his own death. After Mitar died his nephew, Milos, inherited "the gift." The priest Zachary Zacharic wrote down the predictions out of pure curiosity. The Tabarics predicted there would be three World Wars and that the priest himself would die the same year the first war ended. When in fact Serbia was occupied by Austrian and Bulgarian troops in World War I and the Serbian army was bogged down in Macedonia, troops in the trenches had only one question for those who made it through enemy lines with news from Serbia: "Is the priest from Kremna still alive?"The priest died and the war ended in the same year - 1918.

Neandertalac
Naucnici koji proučavaju DNK neandertalaca javljaju kako vjeruju da će uskoro moći uspjeti rekonstruisati kompletni genom neandertalskog čovjeka usprkos degradaciji DNK kroz vrijeme.Za pokretanje ovog istraživanja zaslužni su ''Nacionalni institut zdravlja'' i ''Max Planck Society'' iz SAD-a. Oni takođe polažu velike nade i u rekonstruisanje DNK pecinskog medvjeda i mamuta. U naucnim se krugovima već godinama vodi debata o vezi između neandertalca i modernog čovjeka. Jedna skupina naucnika smatra kako je moderni čovjek zamijenio neandertalca, dok druga vjeruje kako su se dvije vrste ukrstale. Sastavljanje genoma neandertalaca koji je živio u Evropi i dijelu Azije prije 300,000 godina u doba srednjeg paleolitika, moglo bi pomoći kod rješavanja tih zagonetki. Krapinski pračovjek jedan je od glavnih predstavnika neandertalaca, a zivio je i u Vindiji kraj Varaždina.

Kineski proizvodi u B&H - PAZNJA!
Ministarstvo zdravstva BiH zakljucilo je da 20 posto kineskih igračaka i odjeće za bebe je ispod standarda, a kineske paste za zube, rastvori za sociva i šminka opasni po ljudsko zdravlje. Sanitarni inspektori na granici kontrolu vrše prvo na graničnom prelazu, a onda nasumice odaberu nekolicinu proizvoda koji se nakon toga testiraju u laboratorijima. Primarni i sekundarni amin koji se nalazi u odjeći može izazvati rak mokraćnog mjehura ili materice u slučaju da je dugo u kontaktu s kožom. Opasne tvari, osim odjeće, kriju i bočice i igračke. Ništa bolja situacija nije ni sa šminkom. Tako je u olovkama za oči pronađena toksična količina olova, teškog metala koji ozbiljno može narušiti zdravlje, dok su u nekim sjenama kineske proizvodnje pronađeni mikroorganizmi koji mogu izazvati infekcije. Djeca su naročito podložna trovanju olovom koji može izazvati anemiju, probleme s bubrezima, pa čak i oštećenje mozga.

Robot-San
Japanski naucnici su predstavili najnoviji primjerak humanoidnog robota, koji može raditi i po najjačem pljusku i to najzahtjevnije zadatke. Robot "HRP-3 Promet MK-II", koji izgleda kao da je upravo izišao iz japanskog naucno-fantastičnog filma, visok je 1,60 metara i težak 68 kilograma. Može se kretati na uzvisinama i pjeskovitoj površini ili podnositi najjaci pljusak te nastaviti neometano raditi.Robota, koji se odlikuje visokim postotkom pokretnosti (42 stepena), zajednički su razvile Kawada Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) i Nacionalni institut za naprednu industrijsku nauku i tehnologiju.Nadaju da će ga oko 2010. prodavati građevinskim kompanijama po cijeni od $130,000. Japan, čije stanovništvo brzo stari, aktivno radi na razvoju čitave vojske robota strahujući od nedostatka radne snage u budućnosti, posebno za poslove koji su visoko rizični.
