In December 1895 the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen demonstrated the first X-ray pictures, among them that of the left hand of Mrs. Röntgen. Within a few weeks the news of the discovery spread throughout the world, and the penetrating properties of the rays were soon exploited for medical diagnosis without immediate realization of possible deleterious effects. The first reports of X-ray injury to various human tissues and to vision came in 1896. In that same year Elihu Thomson, the physicist, deliberately exposed one of his fingers to X-rays and provided accurate scientific observations on the development of roengten-ray burns.

Avoid looking like an American when in another country, say Roger Axtell and John Healy in their "Do's and Taboos of Preparing for You Trip Abroad". This is a difficult piece of advice to follow. Mr. A and Mr. H offer what they consider helpful tips: don't wear baseball caps or sweatshirts with campus badges, be polite and avoid loud conversations in public. The trouble is, foreigners mostly tend to look like foreigners.
There is something about them. The more you try to blend in with the country the odder you look. Lots of eccentric English have tried this game without success. Lawrence of Arabia liked to dress up as a sheikh and Lord Byron as a Greek, and were seemingly impervious to the sniggers* they aroused among the locals.
The Economist, june 4, 1994.
(*) snigger - riso contido

Automation is a term which describes the use of machines to control other machines. The process of automation is expected to increase production and to improve our standard of living. Certain forms of automatic equipment have been used by the auto industry for many years to move materials to the assembly line. Ford Motor Company now uses some automatic controls. At its engine plant in Cleveland, rough cylinder blocks go through a series of 530 automatic operations and come out as finished products in just under fifteen minutes.
While many labor leaders fear that automation will cause workers to lose jobs, scientists say it will demand more workers to mantain and to repair the automatic machines.
