NASA exo-biologists are excited about the latest discoveries of the Mars rover Curiosity. The robot has uncovered what looks like once-living organisms preserved in some sort of frozen liquid. The robot has made very thin sections of the samples and sent highly magnified images of these sections. The images are so detailed that it is possible to see cell organelles and internal structures. Some biochemical analysis is also possible on Curiosity and the results of these tests have also been sent. Scientists are yet to determine what types of organisms have been discovered, but there seems to be different species in the sample. There have been suggestions that this discovery is worthy of a recovery mission to bring the samples to earth.

Problem Question Ryan v. IndyBooks Ltd. Lily Ryan (63) has run an antiquarian bookshop in rural Kent for 30 years. Although the books she sells are extremely valuable, she is hampered by her rural location. If she was entirely reliant on customers coming into her shop, she would make very few sales, and her business could not survive. In June of 2011, Lily’s daughter Sarah told her about the website . The website allows customers to browse the stock of hundreds of member booksellers from one online catalogue, and to order books from them online. Member booksellers enter the details of books for sale into the website’s catalogue, maintain an online profile page, set prices and postage rates and receive customers’ orders by email. The American company behind the website - IndyBook Ltd – processes customers’ payments and transfers them to member booksellers’ bank accounts at the end of every month, levying a 10% commission on the total sales at the point of transfer. Members also pay a monthly membership fee of £15 by credit card. Lily was reluctant to use the website, as she does not enjoy using computers. However, at Sarah’s urging, she decided to explore it further.
