INGLÊS Por falar nisso A foto que você vê na abertura deste módulo é do lançamento do satélite TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) no dia 18 de abril de 2018 no Cabo Canaveral, na Flórida. O satélite é um desenvolvimento conjunto de pesquisadores do Instituto de Tecnologia de Massachussets (MIT) e da NASA com o apoio da Space X, empresa do mais famoso empreendedor dos últimos tempos, Elon Musk. O objetivo do satélite é pesquisar, por dois anos, mais de 200 mil estrelas e buscar novos exoplanetas. Várias inovações como essa acontecem em países de língua inglesa. O inglês é a principal língua de divulgação de conhecimentos na área. Ao estudá-lo, você terá acesso direto às fontes como a NASA, o MIT e a SpaceX. Nas próximas aulas, estudaremos os seguintes temas

Leia o texto a seguir, que fala sobre a história da empresa de streaming Netflix, que se reinventou perante as mudanças no mercado e responda às questões que o seguem. How Netflix Reinvented Itself One of the biggest and most persistent challenges facing a successful company is how to respond to a new generation of technology aimed at destroying the company’s core profit engine. Such technologies give consumers a better experience at a lower price. And if a company has been successful in the earlier technology wave, it is often impossible for the company to reinvent itself. You may recall Blockbuster Video – it rented out DVDs and VCRs at retail stores. Then Netflix came along with DVD-By-Mail – and that made it cheaper and more convenient for consumers to get the movies they wanted. Blockbuster was unable to adapt and perished. Netflix engineered its operations beautifully to win the battle for DVD-by-Mail market supremacy. As I wrote in September 2011, Netflix was able to buy the DVDs in a retail store (copyright law allowed it to rent out those DVDs) and deliver them in a more “consumer-friendly model of no late fees and big selection [that] overpowered the immediate convenience of going to a corner store to pick up a movie for a night,” as Business Insider wrote. It could buy huge quantities of DVDs cheaply, it set up a great computer system so people could order their DVDs, and its process for delivering and collecting DVDs was well-engineered.

Then along came video streaming. With more people using smartphones and tablets, it has become much more convenient for people to watch movies on these devices rather than plopping themselves in front of their TV sets and plugging a DVD into an attached player. For the last several years, Netflix has been struggling with how to survive the transition of customers who wanted to dump its DVD-By-Mail service and watch streaming videos instead. This struggle led to its highly controversial July 2011 pricing policy of raising prices as much as 60%. The new deal made customers pay $16 a month for one DVD out at a time plus Internet-streaming – up from $10 a month for the combined package before the new rate went into effect for existing subscribers at the beginning of September 2011. Netflix stock plunged.

Unfortunately for shareholders, what it takes to win in the online streaming business is very different from DVD-by-Mail’s key success factors. That’s because Netflix is in a much weaker bargaining position with the owners of the digital videos — it has to engage in painful negotiations with studios and they have no incentive to cut Netflix a break — especially after watching Netflix eat their lunch with DVDs. These higher costs showed up in Netflix’s financial statements. For example, by the end of June 2011, Netflix’s accounts payable had climbed 218% from $137 million at the end of 2010 to $435 million. To its credit, Netflix did not give up with its efforts to succeed in online streaming. Since it could not convince studios to let it license great online content on attractive terms, Netflix decided to get into the studios’ business of creating great content – referred to as backward integration. In February 2013, Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer, told GQ “the goal is to become HBO faster than HBO can become us.” And that strategy appears to be paying off. Netflix’s first quarter results were much better than expected. Its stock soared 24% in after-hours trading to $215.40 – on April 22, it announced that it had gained two million new U.S. customers in the first three months of 2013 – reaching 29.2 million – which was 200,000 more than the average of seven estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Netflix has created one very popular series – House of Cards. And it has launched a second series original – Hemlock Grove. […] As Piper Jaffray analyst, Michael Olson, told the New York Times, “It appears original programming may be driving better subscriber numbers. At the least, we believe original exclusive programming is reducing subscriber churn.” Another factor in Netflix’s online subscriber growth is pricing. It announced Monday a new subscription option that could allow Netflix to profit from passwordsharing for its streaming video service. The new option – four simultaneous streams for $11.99 – will supplement its existing $7.99 a month service that limits subscribers to two simultaneous streams. Netflix has yet to complete the transition from a winner in DVD-by-Mail to the leader in online video streaming. That’s because its subscribers will want to watch more than just original Netflix programming – and obtaining that will continue to be costly. Moreover, not all of its original series are going to be wildly popular. But its strategy of backward integration suggests that Netflix may be able to assemble the capabilities needed to continue to deliver superior value to consumers despite fundamental improvements in technology that undermine the business in which it previously prevailed. And that will make Netflix an interesting company to watch when it comes to learning how companies should reinvent themselves. (Peter Cohan. In: Forbes.

Inglês
Introdução Tanto em português quanto em inglês, temos duas formas de estruturar orações chamadas vozes ativa e passiva. A voz ativa é a forma que enfatiza o agente de uma ação e é mais comum na fala, e a voz passiva focaliza o paciente dessa ação e é mais utilizada em textos escritos, quando se quer utilizar uma estrutura mais impessoal. Por exemplo: It is known that water is good for the body. A voz passiva só é possível quando há verbos transitivos. Os verbos transitivos são aqueles que só possuem sentido completo quando acompanhados de um objeto direto (não antecedido de preposição) ou indireto (antecedido de preposição). Isso ainda determina qual preposição é regida em cada caso. São exemplos em inglês: clean e drink (transitivos diretos) e speak e give (transitivos direto e indiretos). Os verbos transitivos admitem tanto a voz ativa quanto a passiva: Voz ativa
Voz passiva
I spoke a lecture about A.I. at the Tech Convention.
A lecture about A.I. was spoken by me at the Tech Convention.
A cop spoke to me about Driving Regulations.
I was spoken about Driving Regulations by a cop.
Figura 01 - Mary ate a delicious cake. = A delicious cake was eaten by Mary.
Construção Como observado nos exemplos, a voz passiva é estruturada a partir da conjugação do verbo to be como verbo principal e o particípio passado do verbo auxiliar (existente na oração em voz ativa). Veja: Voz ativa
People
speak
English
all over the world.
Voz passiva
English
Is spoken
(by people)
all over the world.
Perceba que o sujeito e o objeto trocaram de lugar nas orações, e é isso que caracteriza a mudança de foco. Na voz ativa, people está em uma posição importante, enquanto, na passiva, é English que ocupa essa posição. Perceba também que, na voz passiva, a expressão by people, que é o realizador da ação, está entre parênteses. É comum omitir-se o sujeito na voz passiva, pois, geralmente quando optamos por usá-la, queremos dizer que quem realizou a ação não é importante ou é genérico demais. Para construir a voz passiva, o objeto direto ou indireto torna-se o sujeito da voz passiva. Mas, cuidado! Esse sujeito da voz passiva não é o sujeito realizador da ação, ele é o recebedor. O sujeito realizador passa a se chamar agente da passiva. Assim, a oração I gave him a book for his birthday pode ser estruturada de duas maneiras na voz passiva: Objeto direto como sujeito
A book
was given
to him
for his birthday.
Objeto indireto como sujeito
He
was given
a book
for his birthday.

01. (Udesc SC) Eclipse in Africa: ‘Ring of Fire’ eclipse wows stargazers Stargazers in parts of Africa have been treated to a spectacular “ring of fire” in the sky as the sun was almost - but not completely - eclipsed. An annular eclipse happens when the moon is farther away from the Earth than during a total eclipse. The result is a bright circle of sunshine surrounding a dark, shadowy core. The best views were seen in Tanzania, where the event lasted about three minutes. The eclipse could also be viewed in parts of Gabon, CongoBrazzaville, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar,
and the French Indian Ocean island of La Reunion. The moon does not move in a perfect circle around the earth - instead, its orbit is slightly elliptical. That means the distance of the moon varies between around 225,000252,000 miles (362,000-405,555 km). When the moon is farther away from the earth, it appears smaller - and does not totally cover the sun’s disc during a total eclipse. The result is also known as a “ring of fire” eclipse. The next eclipse is due to take place in February 2017, and can be seen from parts of South America and Africa. Avaiable at:http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa. Accessed on 02/09/16.

(Fatec SP) Technology isn’t working The digital revolution has yet to fulfil its promise of higher productivity and better jobs If there is a technological revolution in progress, rich economies could be forgiven for wishing it would go away. Workers in America, Europe and Japan have been through a difficult few decades. In the 1970s the blistering growth after the second world war vanished in both Europe and America. In the early 1990s Japan joined the slump, entering a prolonged period of economic stagnation. Brief spells of faster growth in intervening years quickly petered out. The rich world is still trying to shake off the effects of the 2008 financial crisis. And now the digital economy, far from pushing up wages across the board in response to higher productivity, is keeping them flat for the mass of workers while extravagantly rewarding the most talented ones. It seems difficult to square this unhappy experience with the extraordinary technological progress during that period, but the same thing has happened before. Most economic historians reckon there was very little improvement in living standards in Britain in the century after the first Industrial Revolution. And in A05 Voz passiva

n Antes de começar n Introdução
Why Game Accessibility Matters Meet the people pushing to make video games more accessible to those with — and without — disabilities. When Mortal Kombat hit arcades in 1992, Carlos Vasquez was right there with all the other kids besotted by its edgy take on fighting games. He’d put his quarters in and play for hours, just for love of the game and the competitive environment around it. One entry after another, he stuck with the franchise — a dedicated fan like any other. But then his vision started to fade, and eventually closed-angle glaucoma rendered Vasquez completely blind. He had to give up soccer — one of his great passions — and, it seemed, maybe video games too. “But as I got used to it more and more,” he says, “I decided to go back and start paying attention more to my hearing and kind of realizing, ‘Hey, this game actually emphasizes every single hit as you play!’” Mortal Kombat’s stereo sound effects may have been intended to enhance the visual experience, but for Vasquez they meant an opportunity to keep playing his favorite game entirely by ear. In addition, he didn’t play only in his own home, either; Vasquez reached the finals in his pool at international fighting game tournament Evo last year, and he was instrumental in developer Nether Realm Studios patching an accessibility mode into its fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us earlier this year. He’s part of a growing group of gamers with disabilities who are speaking out against accessibility issues in games and who run the whole gamut from big-budget AAA fare to tiny one-person indie productions. They’re backed by charities, such as Able Gamers and Special Effect, plus dozens of passionate individuals doing their best to make the hobby more inclusive to everyone — disabled or not. There are signs that more developers are listening, too. Infinity Ward included a colorblind option and a special “N0M4D” control layout for disabled players in the latest Call of Duty. Indie survival adventure The Last Door has a dyslexia font and closed captions. The recently released MMO Wild Star has, among other accessibility features, support for all three main types of colorblindness. Games are finally opening up to audiences that previously couldn’t enjoy them, and everyone’s gaining from the trend. (Richard Moss. In: Polygon.

Introdução Na aula anterior, você aprendeu sobre a construção da voz passiva com o verbo auxiliar conjugado be + um verbo principal no particípio passado. Existe outra forma, bastante específica, de estruturar a voz passiva: usando os verbos have e get como os verbos auxiliares. Essa forma, porém, altera o significado da oração e não deve ser usada como a voz passiva mais comum. Ela é usada tipicamente para descrever um serviço realizado por outra pessoa que não o falante.

Figura 01 - The wall was graffited.
Figura 02 - I’ve just had/got my car cleaned. (= Someone else, not me, cleaned my car).
Assim, esse tipo de voz passiva pode ser também chamado de causative em inglês e é construída por meio dos verbos have ou get conjugados no tempo verbal desejado e um verbo principal no particípio passado. Alguns outros usos dessa estrutura são: n n n

Descrever algo infeliz que aconteceu a alguém: We had/got our house broken into yesterday. Descrever quando algo precisa ser feito (mais comum com get): I need to get my hair cut. Usar o imperativo em ordens (mais comum com get): Get your car fixed!

(UFU MG) Uk School Replaces Library Cards For Kids With Fingerprint Scans
By Clay Dillow
We already know that biometrics could provide some useful new tools for identifying approaching threats or
tracking people moving through crowds. But what about checking out books from a children’s library? A Manchester UK primary school is testing out just such a scheme, having children as young as four years old scan their fingerprints as ID for checking books in and out of the school’s library. Not surprisingly, parents and privacy groups have a huge problem with children’s biometric data being so cataloged ― not to mention the precedent it sets. To check out a book, students swipe a bar code placed inside the book at a computer station, which then asks for them to press their thumb on a fingerprint scanner. Books are checked back into the library the same way: no library card or identification required. School officials say the fingerprints are converted to and saved as digital electronic codes that are recognized by the computer, so that no actual fingerprint images are kept on

file or shared. Critics of the system, however, find the use of such biometric systems with children so young a breach of privacy and a dangerous overreach by authorities, conditioning children to treat their personal biometric information as something trivial. And it’s worth noting this isn’t the first biometric identifying scheme hatched by UK schools; a fingerprint identifier introduced as part of a cashless school cafeteria system has previously drawn the ire of UK parents who don’t like the idea of their kids being fingerprinted without permission. But the library system is purely voluntary, and parents are allowed to opt their kids in or out. (…) Disponível em: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-06/uk

I like to think of myself as a recovering weight-a-holic. 8 The fear of being overweight is a constant one of despair at not being personally successful in 9 controlling your own body. What good is being in control of finances, major companies and 10 businesses if you’re not in control of your body?! Silly idea, right? And yet that is exactly the 11 unconscious thought many intelligent women have. 12 Feeling satisfied with your appearance makes a tremendous amount of difference in how you 13 present yourself to the world.

idea! Personally, I became tired 15 of living my Iife this way. 16 My friend is an art historian who specializes in the Renaissance period. Talking with him recently gave 17 me a perspective on body image. As we walked through the permanent exhibit of Renaissance 18 Art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he pointed out the paintings done of women. 19 The women came in all sizes, all shapes. Some were curvier than others, but all were beautiful. 20 Some had what we refer to as love handles; some had soft, fuller stomachs that had never suffered 21 through crunches in a gym. Though I had seen them many times, it was actually refreshing to view 22 them in a new light. 23 We are led to believe our self-worth must be a reflection of our looks. So, in essence, if we don’t 24 believe we look good, we assume we have no worth! Yet, self-worth should have nothing to do 25 with looks and everything to do with an innate feeling that you really are worth it. You are worth 26 going after your dreams, you are worth being in a good relationship, you are worth living a life that 27 fulfills and nourishes you, and you are certainly worthy of being a successful woman. 28 There is a quote attributed to Michelangelo that I’ve always admired. When a friend complimented 29 him on the glorious Sistine Chapel, the great artist, referring to his art in the feminine form, was 30 said to have replied: “She is worthy of admiration simply because she exists; perfection and 31 imperfection together”.

How One Teacher Changed for the Good of Her Students Four years ago, I realized that I needed to take responsibility for the damage I had done to students who came into my room loving (or at least liking) school and left diminished in some ways. Those kids who loved math until my long-winded lectures about process left them confused and bitter. Those kids that loved to read until my strict book report guidelines and reading logs devoured their curiosity for great stories. I had to take responsibility for what I had done. There was no one else to blame. Just as important, I had to make sure that my future students would leave our classroom still loving school, with passionate curiosity, not afraid to try something new. How do we make children hate school so much? I now teach 5th grade, and by the time they reach me, certain subjects have already landed on their top 10 list of most dreadful things to do. Math tends to top the chart, but social studies usually is close behind, and some even hate reading (but may read many books outside of school). Most students confess a love of recess, art, music, and sometimes even science. PE is always a crowd favorite as well. But math and social studies, yikes. I don’t blame the students. The system of school has taught them to feel this way. How dare I say this? Because I was that system. I think about math and how I taught it: drill and kill, lecture and lecture some more. Show them repeatedly how to do a problem, then have one or two students come up and work through a similar problem while the rest of the class watches (eyes glazing over). And finally have them practice it on their own, usually through homework. In my straight-edged classroom, students were not allowed to work ahead — they needed to pay attention to me slogging through all of the pages. We did not have much time for discussion, let alone any further exploration. Substitute social studies for math in the paragraph above, leave out the problems at the board, and you have a pretty good summary of what my social studies class looked like as well. By the time I was done teaching, my students were good at putting their names on worksheets, filling them out, and following along in the textbook. Too bad about their curiosity. We just didn’t have time for that.

So I changed. I’m not that special; lots of teachers are changing the way they teach and how school is done. Many did not wait for permission but transformed on their own. I will admit that not every kid leaves my classroom having fallen back in love with school. Sometimes that damage takes years to undo. But I mostly get them back on the path of loving learning. I take responsibility for my own actions as a teacher and realize the damage I can do. I go to school knowing that every day I can be the difference between a child embracing his or her own learning or tuning out. I accept that what I do today may make the difference a few years from now between staying in school or dropping out. I believed that there was one way to do school to kids. Now I know that school needs to change, and we have to change it from within. Part of that change needs to be about including the voices of our students. School can no longer just be done to our kids, they must experience it and own it. When I first started on this journey of changing the way I teach, I did not know where my path would ultimately lead. I still don’t. With every child that enters my classroom, and with every parent that comes along with something to share, that path changes and so must I. Exemplo 01. Alguns trechos são “…came into my room loving (or at least liking) school and left diminished in some ways”; “long-winded lectures about process left them confused and bitter”; “my strict book report guidelines and reading logs devoured their curiosity for great stories”; “afraid to try something new”; “PE is always a crowd favorite as well. But math and social studies, yikes”; “drill and kill, lecture and lecture some more”; “Show them repeatedly how to do a problem, then have one or two students come up and work through a similar problem while the rest of the class watches”. Exemplo 02. Alguns trechos são “back on the path of loving learning”; “including the voices of our students”; “School can no longer just be done to our kids, they must experience it and own it”; “Students who did not understand why they couldn’t just be told how to do something. Parents who felt I didn’t give enough homework or enough grades. Teachers who thought I wasn’t doing a good enough job preparing the kids”; “change our school system from within”. Exemplo 03. Resposta pessoal. Exemplo 04. Resposta pessoal.
I set out to give the classroom back to the students, and this remains my mission, yet I have not accomplished all of the goals I set for myself. With any change there comes resistance, and I have met my fair share. Students who did not understand why they couldn’t just be told how to do something. Parents who felt I didn’t give enough homework or enough grades. Teachers who thought I wasn’t doing a good enough job preparing the kids. My own doubt sneaking in whenever an idea did not work. Yet, if we want to make change, we must expect to fight for what we believe in – even with ourselves sometimes. There are ways that we can change our school system from within, even though many policy makers may seem to work against us. (Pernille Ripp. In: MindShift.

The U.S. system of public education, it seems, is failing its children. Some media sources have tagged the problem with catchy labels, calling the United States “Dropout Nation,” and failing schools “dropout factories.” Yet those terms may actually mask the real issue–that millions of teenagers and young adults feel so alienated in an academic setting that they ultimately pack it in and give ______. The education dilemma is a ticking time bomb. According to some experts, our economy is losing hundreds of billions of dollars in wages alone over the lifetimes of these dropouts. America, which only 20 years ago had the most educated populace on the planet, now ranks anywhere from seventh to 18th in comparison to other nations in terms of relative effectiveness of its educational system. Performance in math and science among U.S. students in fourth through 12th grades is steadily declining; one study has American eighth graders tied with students in third-world Zimbabwe in mathematics. As America moves ______ a manufacturing-based economy ______ a globalized service- and technology-based economy, it is not producing a workforce educated enough to handle jobs that will keep the country clicking.

PHRASAL VERBS Antes de começar Leia a seguir um texto sobre a empresa Lowe’s Innovation Labs, que trouxe um método interessante de pensar a inovação e sobreviver no mercado competitivo. Depois, responda às questões que o seguem. Why Lowe’s uses comic books to guide innovation

Kyle Nel, executive director of Lowe’s Innovation Labs, opened up to Retail Dive about how the company thinks about experimenting with new technology. “Innovation is a word that is so overused it’s like it doesn’t even mean anything anymore,” says the guy leading the innovation lab at Lowe’s. It’s fair to say that innovation has become one of the industry’s biggest buzzwords as retailers of all shapes and sizes build labs to concoct disruptive technologies and keep ahead of competition. But too often companies fail to pair innovation with a necessary mindset shift and don’t get the results they want, Kyle Nel, executive director of Lowe’s Innovation Labs, recently told Retail Dive in an exclusive interview. “To do something different, you have to do something different, which is difficult when you’re a large organization that is driven by executing and efficiency,” he said. “That’s what retailers do very well. For us, thinking outside of the proverbial box is really important.” Nel isn’t a tech guy and he’s quick to point it out. He’s a behavioral scientist and the way he thinks about innovation at the home improvements retailer is through the lens of how people make decisions. Just over four years ago, Nel launched the innovation lab with “narrative-driven innovation” as a core guiding tool. In short — he paid people to draw comic books.

After a two-year pilot of the technology in an Orchard Supply Hardware store, the company last year rolled the bot out to a number of locations in the San Francisco Bay area.

The innovation lab employs a number of professionally published science fiction writers that take market research data on emerging technologies and come up with stories depicting Lowe’s future in the form of illustrations, which

are passed out to the executive team, including CEO Robert Niblock and his direct staff. “A lot of organizations focus on what’s going on right now instead of what the outcomes will be like two or three or five steps down the road,” Nel said. “You make different decisions if you believe in this outcome and see how it might all come together rather than what’s available today and making incremental steps forward.” From the retailer’s futuristic-looking exosuits for employees to its augmented reality apps that measure whether appliances will fit in homes, everything the innovation lab pursues is guided by storytelling, and according to Nel, that’s the key.

Exemplo 01. A principal é utilizer quadrinhos para imaginar e dar o primeiro passo para concretizar novas ideias dentro da empresa em vez de gastar tempo com reuniões e discussões abstratas. Outra inovação é o próprio produto da empresa, o Lowebot, que auxilia, por meio de uma boa inteligência artificial, os consumidores de uma loja. Por fim, há o modo de pensar do executivo, que foca nas expectativas do futuro da empresa em vez de pensar no hoje. Exemplo 02. Resposta pessoal.

Se quiser, imagine e descreva suas falas também. Caso você goste de desenhar, siga em frente e materialize sua tirinha!
Introdução Phrasal verb é um fenômeno gramatical em inglês bastante específico: ele combina verbos com uma preposição, um advérbio ou ambos (em inglês, o termo único é particle) para formar algo que funciona como um verbo de significado diferente do que os significados combinados das palavras individuais. Esse fenômeno permite maior variedade de expressividade dentro da língua com um menor número de verbos individuais, pois um mesmo verbo se combina com diferentes preposições ou advérbios, assim como as preposições e os advérbios repetem-se para diversos verbos.

Construção Já vimos que phrasal verbs são a junção de um verbo, mais uma partícula, que, em português, pode ser uma preposição ou um advérbio. Para facilitar seu entendimento de como se constroem essas expressões verbais, chamaremos a segunda parte da construção sempre de partícula (p). O verbo será referenciado por (v); o sujeito, por (s); e o objeto, por (o). n
Alguns verbos aceitam apenas uma forma de construir a oração com um phrasal verb, que é a ordem s + v + p + o: Sujeito

Exercícios Complementares 01. (FCM PB) You mean I don’t have to show up? The promise of telemedicine “Aside from whatever a visit to the doctor costs you in money, it also costs you in time. A lot of it! End to end, the travel and waiting time for a doctor’s appointment can take several hours — often disrupting work or school. Only 17 percent of it — 20 minutes, on average — is spent actually seeing the doctor, according to a study by the University of Pittsburgh, physician Kristin Ray and colleagues at the Harvard Medical School and the RAND Corporation. In a year, Americans spend 2.4 billion hours making doctor visits. Valued at average wage rates, that’s worth more than $52 billion — equivalent to the total working time and income of 1.2 million people. On average, we pay $32 when visiting a doctor. But separately, the value of our time adds up to more, $43, according to Dr. Ray’s study.

For certain kinds of health care, there is a better way. Long after electronic communication and technology have revolutionized other services (like preparing taxes, booking travel and banking), emails, phone calls, video chats and other telemedicine applications are gradually supplementing or replacing some types of office visits. Telemedicine holds the promise of giving some of our time back. And it may have other advantages. Care delivered in this way requires no travel, and if one waits at all it’s at home or work, not at a doctor’s office. In an era of FaceTime and Skype, patients are starting to expect more convenient access to doctors. The vast majority of patients report that they want to be able to communicate with their doctors by email. Perhaps for this reason, the market for telemedicine is growing rapidly. In a passionate commentary on the establishment’s hesitancy to embrace telemedicine, David Asch, a University of Pennsylvania physician, pointed out that the inconvenience of face-to-face care limits its use, but arbitrarily and invisibly.

(UEAM) Maues – City of Guarana Maues is one of the most beautiful cities in the Amazon; known as the Guarana city, it has beautiful sandy beaches and holds two famous festivals – Maues Summer Festival and The Guarana Festival. Its early inhabitants, the Mundurucus and Maues Indians, used to grow the Guarana fruit, which is the basis for the well-known Brazilian soft drink. The word Maues means “talking parrots” and comes from one of the Indian tribes in the region. Maues has 22,000 inhabitants, with other 20,000 natives scattered over 140 villages along rivers in the region. Maues is located on the Maues-Açu River and it can be reached 12 Manaus – 267 km away – by regional boat in 18 hours, by fast boat in 7 hours or by plane in 1 hour. Maues is an ideal starting point for adventure, including a visit to the Amana Waterfall, or to old gold mines, caves, and the jungle – with local Indian guides. Tourists may also visit the Uraira reserve. (http://amazonaslife.tripod.com. Adaptado.)

(Puc RS) English sculptor Anish Kapoor, one of the greatest active artists in our time, was born in India in 1954. Having built an impressive oeuvre over the past three decades, today Kapoor stands out1 as a sculptor in the strictest sense of
the word: he has introduced sculpture in a new aesthetic and technical scale by incorporating techniques – appropriated from architecture, aeronautics, and the heavy industry – to the support. Anish Kapoor’s forms and sculptures are apparently deceiving; they seem quite simple in terms of form, yet they convey, each of them, a dizzying complexity of natural elements, technique, aesthetic and finishing. Brazilian poet Antonio Cicero once told me that finishing accounts for 50% of a poetic creation. I have become deeply aware of this fact. In Kapoor’s work, it accounts for even more. For example, When I am Pregnant, is a work shrouded by a thin and Fastidiously2 finished layer of plaster; it is a subtle protuberance on the wall, enunciating a bulging form that in itself heralds creation and the sublime. It is art, wanting to be born. (Source: Cultural Project of Banco do Brasil, 2006)

Brazil has developed a system of electronic ballots that Paraguay will use for the municipal elections in November, adding agility and security to the entire process. The power of a click is increasing constantly with new Internet services emerging to satisfy any need. All over the world, new online services are popping up1 every day form sites offering romantic liaisons- such as eHarmony, which boasts an estimated 10 million users in over 200 countries and is responsible for approximately 10,000 marriages – to finance sites like SmartMoney, which allows you to invest and buy stock online. The worldwide trend of paying online started by Amazon, eBay and PayPal today extends to sites like the Chilean government Website Tramitefacil.gov.cl where citizens can pay their taxes, apply for government loans and obtain legal certificates , or the Peruvian Websites of Perugestiones and Abogadosperu, which even offer online divorces. We use the Internet to pay our gas and phone bills, transfer funds, apply for loans, make credit card payments and donate to charity. We find maps get directions, order groceries or dinner, buy plane tickets, make hotel reservations and much more. In short, we use it to save time, avoid endless lines and go places without actually being there. Thank you, Internet dear!

The costs of waiting and travel time and those borne by rural populations with poor access to in-person care don’t appear on the books. “The innovation that telemedicine promises is not just doing the same thing remotely,” Dr. Asch wrote, “but awakening us to the many things that we thought required face-to-face contact but actually do not. ”

1 Millions of people globally are overweight or 2 obese. With obesity rates on the rise worldwide and 3 excess sugar consumption considered a direct 4 contributor, the search has been on for treatments to 5 reverse the trend. Now a world-first study led by 6 Queensland University of Technology (QUT) may 7 have the answer. 8 Neuroscientist Professor Selena Bartlett from 9 QUT’s Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation 10 said the study shows drugs used to treat nicotine 11 addiction could be used to treat sugar addiction in 12 animals. 13 The publication coincides with another paper by the 14 team which shows that long chronic sugar intake can 15 cause eating disorders and impact on behaviour. 16 “The latest World Health Organisation figures tell 17 us 1.9 billion people worldwide are overweight, with 18 600 million considered obese,” said Professor Bartlett. 19 “Excess sugar consumption has been proven to 20 contribute directly to weight gain. It has also been 21 shown to repeatedly elevate dopamine levels which 22 control the brain’s reward and pleasure centres in a way 23 that is similar to many drugs of abuse including 24 tobacco, cocaine and morphine. 25 “After long-term consumption, this leads to the 26 opposite, a reduction in dopamine levels. This leads to 27 higher consumption of sugar to get the same level of 28 reward. 29 “We have also found that as well as an increased 30 risk of weight gain, animals that maintain high sugar 31 consumption and binge eating into adulthood may also 32 face neurological and psychiatric consequences 33 affecting mood and motivation. 34 “Our study found that Food and Drug 35 Administration (FDA) approved drugs which treat 36 nicotine addiction can work
the same way when it 37 comes to sugar cravings.” (Adaptado do texto disponível em <http://www.sciencedaily. com/releases/2016/04/160407111828.htm>. Acesso em 08/04/2016.)

The whole bank knows it. Even my best mate Marvin knows it and he’s more useless than the gunman1. The worst part about the whole thing is that Marv’s car is standing outside in a fifteen-minute parking zone. We’re all face-down on the floor and the car’s only got a few minutes left on it3. ‘I wish this bloke6’d hurry up2,’ I mention. ‘I know,’ Marv whispers back. ‘This is outrageous.’ His voice rises from the depths of the floor. ‘I’ll be getting a fine because of this useless bastard. I can’t afford another fine, Ed.’ ‘The car’s not even worth it4.’ ‘What?’ Marv looks over at me now. I can sense he’s getting uptight. Offended. If there’s one thing Marv doesn’t tolerate, it’s someone putting shit on his car. He repeats the question. ‘What did you say, Ed?’ ‘I said,’ I whisper, ‘it isn’t even worth the fine, Marv.’ ‘Look,’ he says, ‘I’ll take a lot of things, Ed, but...’ I tune out7 of what he’s saying, because quite frankly, once Marv gets going about his car, it’s downright pain in the arse material. He goes on and on, like a kid, and he’s just turned twenty5, for Jesus sake. He goes on for another minute or so, until I have to cut him off8. ‘Marv,’ I point out, ‘the car’s an embarrassment, okay? It doesn’t even have a handbrake – it’s sitting out there with two bricks behind the back wheels.’ I’m trying to keep my voice as quiet as possible. ‘Half the time you don’t even bother locking it. You’re probably hoping someone’ll flog it so you can collect the insurance.’ ‘lt isn’t insured.’ (...) That’s when the gunman turns around and shouts, ‘Who’s talkin’ back there?!’ Marv doesn’t care. He’s worked up about the car. (...) Zusak, M. The Messenger, Austrália: Ed. Picador, 2002 p. 3-4

Food Crime is an International Problem There is a new and growing danger with the food we eat. Criminal gangs are selling billions of dollars of fake food to supermarkets around the world. The food could be very dangerous. In the past few years, there have been some high-profile scandals. In Britain, tons of horse meat ended up in products that were labeled as beef. British police recently found a product that used cheaper peanut powder instead of almond flour. This could seriously harm or kill people with peanut allergies. In 2008, six babies died in China after gangs made and sold fake milk powder. Gangs can make a lot of money from fake food. It is also safer than selling drugs for the gangs because the penalties are lower. The assistant director of Interpol, Michael Ellis, told the BBC that food crime is very similar to the drugs trade. He said: “In my experience, the patterns used by criminals involved in counterfeiting are very similar to those used in the dealing of drugs.” He said police in 33 countries showed that food crime is a serious international problem. The police found children’s candies that were dyed with a poisonous chemical, 430,000 litres of fake drinks and 22 tons of long-grain rice that was labeled as high-quality basmati rice. The British government said it was a difficult problem to tackle. It said that using technology might be the only way to beat the criminal gangs.
