 Ok, as I’m really going to the gym it seems as if I can only keep one resolution at a time…
Cashing in on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the resulting collapse of Communist control of Eastern Europe I would like to write about Berlin. Berlin is one of the most fantastic cities in Europe, among those I have visited. As it was divided into East and West Berlin, at first it is not easy to find one's way. |

When Mario Bunge came to Lima in 1999, he said that the article Deoxypentose Molecular structure of of deoxypentose nucleic acids, written by the biologist James Watson and the physicist Francis Crick (Nature. 1953. Vol 171:737-8), in just 2 pages showing for the first time the helical structure of DNA, was like putting a giant bird's egg in a right nest (Validity of Philosophy, 1999, pp: 138. Universidad Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. Lima). He was referring to the intellectual adventure of infer, guess, deduce, refuse, test and refine ideas to finally discover the double helix structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), using indirect methods (patterns of X-ray diffraction), subject to interpretation of molecular crystallized nuclear structures of the bacteria (B. coli).Matt Ridley, one of the few journalists who talked with Crick (died in 2004 at age 88), is author of a celebrated personnel portrait. |

 Era joven. Demasiado como para suponer que había tenido una vida interesante. Pasaba los días paseando por el bosque; hiciera frío, lloviera o nevase tenía que caminar hasta el manantial y regresar a casa. No sabía si le gustaba o si en realidad lo odiaba, pero ahora le gustaba, esa era la ventaja de no recordar nada. No sabía si había amado, si había odiado… |

 | Sleeping Beauty by Dominique d'Orange |
Artists create to convey ideas and emotions. Art is able to depict the truth in another manner. It inserts emotions in the rational. In contrary to the visual in fine art, music is about the audible. Each culture is imbued with vocal and instrumental sounds, differing in rhythm, melody and harmony. |
