6. The best brain - human or electronic?

A US quiz show, Jeopardy. is to have a strange contestant. A computer called Watson will compete against two of the show·s most successful players ever. The prize money for the special show will be $1 míllion which the contestants will donate part or all to charity, but the reputation of lBM, the computer's designers and makers is also being challenged. The reason Jeopardy was chosen is because it is seen as a big challenge for the computer, because of !the show's quick question format and clues that rely on subtle meanings, and puzzles: something humans are very good at and computers not.

The computer will not be connected to the internet and will have to answer the questions based on the knowledge in its memory, in the same way that the human contestants will. AII of the contestants will have the same time, 3 seconds to answer the question.

7. Different ways of Cutting airline costs

Airlines are always trying to find ways of reducing the costs of operating their airlines.

With the cost of a barrel of oil increasing to above $100, one way to save money is to save fuel. The airlines have tried everything including lightweight materials for the planes, mergers between airlines and even lighter drinks trolleys and thinner carpets. Now Sleazyjet, a large low-cost airline, thinks it has found a way to save even more money using a technology you cannot even see: a new paint job. It is going to trial what it calls a "revolutionary nano-technology coating". Sleazyjet hopes it will reduce friction as the plane flies through the air, increasing fuel efficiency and, ultimately, saving the airline money.

About 99% of south Sudanese voted to separate from the north, according to the first complete results of the region's independence referendum. A total of 99.57 percent of people voted for independence, accordíng to the referendum commission.

Final results from the 9-15 January vote, which the Sudanese President has said he will accept, are expected early next month. If the result is confirmed, the new country is set to formally declare its independence on 9 July. According to the commission website, 3,851,994 votes were made during the week-long ballot.

9. Insomnia Can Damage Relationships

In the past poor sleep has been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease. However a lack of sleep needs to be treated as a major health problem according to a report published by a major health foundation. The report suggests a link exists between insomnia and poor personal relationships, low energy levels and an lnabilíty to concentrate. Nearly 6.800 people took part in a survey, believed to be the largest of its type in the UK. Although the report was more likely to attract participants concerned about their sleep, and is not representative of the entire UK. It showed people with insomnia were four times as likely to have relationship problems, three times as likely to feel depressed and three times as likely to suffer from a lack of concentration.

10. Do Giants exist in Holland?

A Dutch prisoner, described by his lawyer as being like a fairy tale giant, has gone to court about the size of his single prison cell, arguing that it is inhumanely small. The prisoner, 2.07m tall and weighing 230kg, says he cannot properly sleep or use the toilet. Prison officials have tried to relieve his discomfort by adding a 2.15m plank of wood at the end of his bed and an extra mattress. His cell in a prison in Holland would probably be adequate for most prisoners, but for him the problems start in the doorway, where he must lower his head to pass through. He complains that to take a shower, he must! first push himself into the cubicle, then bend down under the shower head. Also the toilet is so low that ''visits" must be kept to the absolute minimum. His lawyer told a court in The Hague that his client's conditions of detention violated the European Convention on Human Rights.
