In this topic we will see from the highest in the sky to the lowest
on earth,because we will see two topics that, although somewhat
disparate and separated in themselves, have the interest in the
scientific community, because we see the impact of an asteroid
with a satellite and a spider that may have more implications than
we would think.

A team of engineers has found a way to turn dead spiders into mechanical
grip robots. The idea, which sounds terrifying, is to pump spider carcasses
in Advanced Science. Researchers at Rice University in Texas found that
arachnid tweezers could lift 130% of their own body weight, as well as
manipulate circuit boards to shut down LED`s. A clamp is capable of
performing around 1000 opening and closing cycles before its joints begin to
wear out. However, engineers believe that the grips of their "necrobots" will
last longer with a polymer coating. It is hoped that the delicate tools can be
used in microelectronics or to capture small insects.
"It happens that the body of a spider, after its death, is the perfect
architecture for naturally derived small-scale tweezers," Da said.
The valves allow the spider to control each leg individually, and the scientists
used them to move all the legs at the same time. They first hit the prosoma
chamber with a needle and attached it with some superglue. The other end
of the needle was connected to one of the lab's test kits or to a handheld
syringe. There a small amount of air was administered as if it were blood, to
activate the legs almost instantly.
Joints (articulaciones): a point at which parts of an artificial structure are joined.
Tweezers (pinzas): a small instrument like a pair of pincers for plucking out hairs and
picking up small objects.
Coating (capa): a thin layer or covering of something.
Polymer (polímero): a substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly or
entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together.
At this point we see that not only macro-scale things
work for our benefit, but we have various ways of
using, even things as insignificant as a dead spider
body to perform tasks that would be somewhat
complicated for our benefit, even being similar to
many movies we have seen of espionage, since they
use spiders or insects in the same way for the benefit
of those who use them. Perhaps this technology is
still somewhat distant ff those realities that we
imagine, but we see that it is no longer as imaginary
as we might think. This technology, which although
something basic, can facilitate jobs that could be
difficult to do, either because of the scale I use or
because I have less handling of small materials, here
we can see that it is now a little easier and closer that
we have small friends who can help us even in our
day to day. being able to help fix circuits if given the
correct shape and even see and get things that are
far fromus and in places that are difficult to access.

Syringe (jeringa): a tube with a nozzle and piston or bulb for sucking in and ejecting
liquidin a thin stream, used for cleaning wounds or body cavities, or fitted with a APA
hollow needle for injecting or withdrawing fluids. (Roman, 2022, 28 julio)

This articule show us a reality that, in this time is low the probability, but
happen more that we think or more than we see in the reality, the asteroid
belt its so inestable that everitime asteroids change their course and go to
mars or jupiter (our two defenders of impacts) or somentimes in the moon.
Its scary think that it could happen, and we have to remeber that an asteroid
hundred of thousand years ago make the extinction of the dinosaurs, and an
asteroid will imoact again, maybe the sice of an entyre city or contry. Its
impresive that we have the capacity to avoid that danger with our tecnology,
even if only it means to impact a satelit in a moon, but it means that we have
another chace to do the things rigth,prepare ourselves to get another impact
and desviate problems in our actuality, maybe in some years we have the
capacity to destroy it and eliminate that problem instead of changing the
course of the asteoid.

The world's first planetary defense mission
successfully impacted its target last Monday, in
what was NASA's first attempt to deflect acelestial
body in outer space, showing a viable technique to
space against Earth. At an undetermined time, the
Space Agency will report if the impact divergedthe
object's trajectory. José Franco, a researcher at the
UNAM Institute of Astronomy, explains that “there
is constant vigilance by many countries in the
world, against any object that may come from the
sky and cause a problem on Earth. One of these
sources is space debris, there is a small one and a
much larger one. You must have a good follow-up
to guarantee that it is not going to hit an inhabited
area” The other part of surveillance – José Franco
points out – has to do with objects with trajectories
that can pass close to the Earth. For now, there is
none in the near future that could represent a
danger; however, this possibility already exists in
the future, it is important to be clear about how it
can be resolved with enough months in advance.”

Against (contra) that opposes
Inhabited (habitado) that is not inhabited
Astronomy (astronomía) Science that studies the

 Education
In this section we will investigate 2 very important issues in current education, which are the
effect of the pandemic on education and bullying in the modern era.
The suspension of classes caused by the pandemic was a very hard blow
for the students, since most of them could not get used to it enough,
resulting in a large decrease in the level of education Because of online
classes, there are many reasons for this: due to lack of resources such as
internet or computer, lack of attention, not having someone to solve your
doubts. Fortunately this ah ended and classes returned to face-to-face
but now we have to deal with the level of knowledge lower than expected
for each grade so teachers and institutions have to create a strategy to
improve student learning and return to how it should be.
Pandemic (Pandemia): (of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or
theworld.
Sobering (Aleccionadora): creating a more serious, sensible, or solemn
mood.
Dismal (Triste): depressing; dreary.
Struggling (Luchando): make forceful or violent efforts to get free of
restraintor constriction.
Low-Income (Bajos ingresos): individual whose family's taxable income
forthe preceding year did not exceed 150 percent of the poverty level
amount.
The pandemic generation
Students missed a lot of high school instruction. Now
many are behind, especially in math, and getting that
degree could be harder.
Colleges are now educating their first waves of
students who experienced pandemic learning loss in
high school. What they are seeing is sobering,
especially because the latest dismal results from the
national exam of fourth and eighth graders suggest
that they could face year after year of incoming
students struggling to catch up. In almost all states,
there were significant declines in eighth-grade math,
and most states also showed a dip in reading for
fourth and eighth graders.
In interviews across the country, undergraduates
discussed how their disjointed high school
experiences have trailed them in their first years of
college.
For many low-income students and students of color,
who have historically faced bigger obstacles to
earning a degree, classes seem to be that much
harder and graduating that much tougher.

Social environments, the influence of the pandemic and the difficulties of age can multiply the harmful effects
of traditional toxic behaviors in social networks.
Behaviors such as harassment, adapt to the new reality and find in new technologies the ideal breeding
ground to multiply.

Bullying through social networks is a form of cyberbullying, and this, in turn, is a twist on the more common
school bullying. Although the definition of cyberbullying is still subject to controversy: “cyberbullying” is, in
any case, the most used term in the scientific literature.

Its more pernicious nature than the traditional one lies in the fact that it is more pernicious and causes greater
psychosocial consequences on those who suffer it due to the timeless and unlimited nature of the network,
and due to the echo effect derived from a lack of forgetfulness in the network

Cyber bullying is a very important issue to deal with as it endangers the physical and mental integrity of victims
and can affect victims even more than bullying in person as bullying through the Internet can reach many
people. More harassing people which could join in harassing the physical and mental integrity of the victims
and can affect the victims even more than the harassment in person since the harassment through the Internet
can reach many more harassing people which could join in harassing the victim, besides that the teasing will
stay on the Internet practically forever, which is why the victim will have more problems to forget it and overcome
it. That is why the institutions must be stricter regarding this type of situation and put a stop to them when they
arise and not when it is too late.

Behaviors (comportamientos): the way in

which one acts or conducts oneself,
especiallytoward others.

Network (red): interact with others to

exchangeinformation and develop professional
or social contacts.

Harassment (acoso): aggressive pressure

orintimidation.

Pernicious (pernicios): having a harmful

effect,especially in a gradual or subtle way.

Forgetfullness (olvido): lapse of memory.

In this topic we will see very relevant things about the world of sport, talking about the biggest
world event that is the world cup as the withdrawal of one of the greatest exponents of the
soccer.

Gerard Piqué 35 years announced this

Thursday afternoon that he is retiring from
Barcelona and football. A goodbye that
translates, as he had always assured – “I will
never play for another team”, the center-back
has repeated – in his farewell to professional
sport. He has done it his way, on social
networks and when no one expected it, two
days after his name appeared on Luis Enrique's
pre-list for the Qatar World Cup. “For weeks,
months, many people have been talking about
me. So far, I haven't said anything, but now I'll
be the one to speak”, the Catalan defender
started. Piqué was passing those of Caín in the
Camp Nou, relegated by Xavi to a secondary
role; but also in his personal life, paparazzi
meat after he announced his separation from
the Colombian singer Shakira.

In my opinion, Gerard piqué's last seasons were hard because of all the squads he had played with, he
was left alone, the years weighed on him and it was increasingly difficult to remain as a starter on the
pitch at the camp nou, in the absence of Lionel Messi, Busquets, Puyol, Rafael Marquez.
Retirement was already seen coming a few seasons ago, however in recent seasons it was controversial
after having been unfaithful to his wife Shakira, everyone talked about piqué and it is rumored that he
retired because the next season they were going to put Shakira's name on the Barcelona team jersey,
everything flowed very quickly and although everything was very sudden, all the Barcelona or Catalan
fans left satisfied with the story that Gerard Pique left in the club

Retirement: the time of life when one chooses to permanently leave

the workforce behind.

Our forests, rivers, oceans, and soils provide us with the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we irrigate
our crops with. We also rely on them for numerous other goods and services we depend on for our health,
happiness and prosperity.

Environmental pollution is a phenomenon

Pollution is ending the life of flora and
fauna, every day its proportion on our
planet increases, with humans being the
greatest cause of this damage, knowing
that humans are the most intelligent beings,
incapable of taking care of their own planet.
It is the source of life for everyone. It directs
the life of everyone and determines the
proper growth and development. The good
or bad quality of our life is depending on the
quality of our natural environment. Our
need for food, water, shelter, and other
things depends on the environment around
us.
that directly and indirectly affects the health
of populations, not only human beings, since it
also alters the balance of ecosystems. The lists
of dangerous substances and the limits that
must not be exceeded in order not to put health
at risk have been released.
This list of toxic substances released into the
environment seems almost infinite, and
the repercussions that have originated in
the environment and health show great
variation from day to day.
We environmentalists
frequently ask ourselves how many
malformed children have to be born, how
many with intractable diseases that die in the
first months of life, how many children and
people have to die of cancer, how many
people have to live with deteriorated health,
how many more generations will there be? What
to expect for us to raise awareness.

On this occasion we will talk about something that
happens in the place of Delhi, in which an
anomaly arose, a cloud that is very toxic and is
polluting the environment, and that is harming
both human beings and animals. animals and
other living beings.

New Delhi woke up this Thursday under a toxic

blanket of pollution with the worst air quality
records so far this year, since the air quality index
(AQI) remained in the severe category, above
400.

, on a scale that includes a maximum of 500

points, pollution levels that can affect even
healthy people, and greatly affect people with
respiratory diseases. The presence ofdangerous
PM2.5 particles in the air, so small that they can
penetrate the blood system, reached 588 per
cubic meter on Thursday morning, according to
monitoring companyIQAir. And this is almost 40
times more than the daily maximum
recommended by the WHO. It isthe worst time to
be out in Delhi as one never wakes up fresh from
this pollution, AFP said, thebody feels tired and
lethargic in the mornings, and the watery eyes and
scratchy throat.
In my opinion this is not something strange since
we are doing this ourselves, human beings,
people are the ones who manage to do this, since
day after day we contaminate even a little bit,
either by putting garbage out of the garbage can,
when we drive, we throw some liquid, smoke, the
same companies, with their large industrial
machines are the ones that are taking part in
making our environment worse and worse, and for
this we must think a little more and start taking
