A. Jerusalem (also known as BlackBox) Discovered in 1987, Jerusalem is one of the earliest worms. It is also one of the most commonly
known viruses deleting files. It's executed on each Friday the 13th. Its name comes from the city in which it was first detected. Jerusalem
is a variant of another virus that also deletes files at random periods during the year (April Fool's Day and/or Friday the 13th depending on
the variant). While Jerusalem and its relatives were quite common in their day, they became less of a threat when Windows was introduced.
B. Michelangelo In 1991, thousands of computers were hit by anew worm, one that was to be activated on the artist Michelangelo's birthday (March 6th). On that day, the virus would overwrite the hard disk of infected hosts. Millions of computers were believed to be at risk. After March 6th, however, it was realized that the damage was minimal. Only 10,000 to 20,000 cases of data loss were reported. Ironically, because of the media hype, the period before March 6, 1992 became known as ”Michelangelo Madness,” with users buying antivirus software, some for the very first time
C. MelissaIn 1999, many users downloaded afile in aUsenet discussion group, assuming that they were getting free access to over 80 pornographic websites. Little did they know that the file within was responsible for mass-mailing thousands of recipients and shutting down nearly the entire
Internet. The Melissa worm randomly inserted quotes from The Simpsons TV show into documents on the host computer and deleted critical
Windows files. Melissa's creator, David Smith from New Jersey, was imprisoned for 20 months and fined $5,000.
D. I LOVEYOU You may have gotten an email in 2000 with the subject line ”ILOVEYOU.” If you deleted it, you were safe from one of the most costly worms in computer history. Ten percent of all Internet connected computers were hit and the net result
was an estimated $8.7 billion in damages. Onel A. de Guzman, a resident of the Philippines, had all charges dropped against him for creating
the worm because there were no laws at the time prohibiting the creation of computer worms. Since then, the government of the Philippines
has laid out penalties that include imprisonment for up to 3 years and a fine of at least 100,000 pesos (USD $2000).
Which computer worm is it?
4.1. It had a positive as well as negative effect.
4.2. Its author was identified but did not get punished.
4.3. It gets activated in regular intervals.
4.4. It turned out less harmful than people had expected.
4.5. It is not as dangerous now as it was in the past.
4.6. It caused the biggest financial loss.
4.7. It blocked the Internet mail system with infected e-mails.

Actor Chris O'Donnell's highest-profile role was as Robin in Batman Forever, followed by the mega-flop Batman & Robin, widely regarded
as one of the worst superhero films ever. Recently Chris has acted in The Company, out now on DVD.

5.4. When did you realise you were any good at acting?
5.5. Did you get any professional training?
5.6. What's the best Christmas present you've ever received?
A. I didn't know any actual acting techniques. Iwas able to perform when we were shooting the scenes but didn't understand what Iwas doing. Then I did a Broadway play and had time to read all these acting books. I realized Iwas instinctively doing the techniques they teach you.
B. I'm the youngest of seven kids, so Iwas always determined to get attention somehow. Iwas excited by the idea of being on TV, I tried
at a young age and luckily enough it worked out for me.
C. I only learned one phrase: `csendet' which basically means `be quiet'. It's what the assistant director kept yelling at the crew before the shoots.
D. A stupid big stereo. The speakers were bigger than I was. I also bought a car when Iwent to college.
E. I started out doing commercials as a kid. I didn't know if Iwas any good, but I knew I could get the jobs. So I thought it wasn't too bad.
F. It could potentially be this year as my fifth child is going to be born in December.
G. My family came to visit while Iwas working there and we went to some old castles and left the country to go to Vienna and Prague.
H. I really liked Batman Forever, it was such a fun experience. Warner Brothers decided to make Batman & Robin straight away, this was
a mistake. The script wasn't done, but they threw money at it hoping it would improve, which isn't the best way to make a film.

Clever Hans the Math Horse
by Alan Bellows
Wilhelm Von Osten lived in Germany in the late 1800s. He was a high school mathematics teacher and an amateur horse trainer. He was a strong believer in phrenology - the theory that one's intelligence, character and personality can be determined based on the shape of one's
head. But it was his keen interest in animal intelligence that eventually brought him fame. Von Osten firmly believed that humanity had
greatly underestimated the intelligence of animals. To test his theory, he decided to teach the basics of mathematics to a cat, a horse, and a bear.
The cat was indifferent to his efforts, and the bear tried to eat him, but the Arabian horse named Hans showed real promise. After some instruction, Hans learned to use his leg to tap out numbers written on a blackboard. When Von Osten's wrote a ”3” on the blackboard, his pupil would respond with a tap-taptap. Hans could do that for any number under ten. Encouraged by this success, Von Osten tried to train the horse in solving some basic arithmetic problems. Again, Hans learned quickly and soon he was providing the correct answers to a variety of mathematical problems.
Starting from 1891, Von Osten began parading ”Clever Hans” all over Germany to show off the horse's mathematical talent. Hans' free
exhibitions began drawing crowds of curious onlookers. The clever horse did simple arithmetic and answered questions about dates and the time of day. He could even spell out the names of the people he knew. One tap with his leg was an `A', two taps - a `B', and so on. Though he made mistakes occasionally, Hans' accuracy was found to be about 90%. Some compared Hans' mathematical skills to those of a fourteen- year-old. Naturally there were many skeptics, particularly after the New York Times featured the unusual horse in a front-page story. Germany's board of education decided to conduct an independent investigation into Hans' abilities, and Von Osten agreed. He was a man of science, after all, and he knew that there was no fraud to expose. The Hans Commission included two zoologists, a psychologist, several school teachers, and a circus manager. After long testing,
the commission concluded in 1904 that there was no trickery involved and the horse's talents were genuine. It was only when a famous psychologist Oskar Pfungst took up the investigation that the mystery was explained. Pfungst made a series of experiments that proved that the accuracy of
Hans' responses was close to zero when the horse couldn't see the questioner or when the questioner didn't know the right answer. The researchers
also found out that asking Hans questions that he couldn't answer lead to painful horse-bites. The explanation was simple, even if unusual. Close observation of the people interacting with Hans showed that their breathing and facial expression changed slightly each time the horse made the `correct' number of taps. The horse was able to notice those subtle changes and stopped tapping. It turned out that Hans had no real understanding of mathematics, butcould read the signals sent unconsciously by the human questioners.
