    As we all know, electricity is a fundamental need. On a daily basis, we consume electricity even without us knowing it. Just a simple task such as listening to your music player consumes electricity. Today, most of our electric generators and power plants are fed with fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal. However, due to the exponential increase of power demand, fossil fuel supplies are slowly being depleted. Not only that, but also burning fossil fuels has given off greenhouse gases and other unwanted byproducts. Because of this, the search for alternative energy sources is now a necessity. One of the most promising alternative energy sources today is Wind Powered Generators. So, what is a wind-powered generator? Basically it is the use of wind as a mechanical force needed to power an electric generator. Utilizing wind as an energy source is not exactly a new idea. The ancient Persians were the first to use wind to pump water, cut wood, and grind food and others by building windmills. Even today you can find windmills still being used on some farms. It was the use of wind as an electric source that came into existence much later. The first practical wind powered generators were built in 1970, but yet we rarely see them in widespread use today, why? Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of the wind powered generator.

    The main advantage of wind powered generators is that they have, ideally, zero gas emissions – unlike fossil-fueled power generators. Because of the alarming effects of greenhouse gases and global warming, we want our power generators to be as clean and as environmentally friendly as possible. Since there is no burning process in a wind powered generator that produces toxic gases, it is very safe to build one in residential areas. Also, with proper engineering and enough wind, these generators can provide a high rate of wattage that can go as high as the Megawatt range. Another advantage is that it can be implemented using several small turbines connected together. This is a good thing when there is not enough space for huge structures.

     The major disadvantage of wind powered generators is that wind power varies greatly from one place to another and from day to day and season to season. Sometimes wind may be strong enough to supply energy, but that strength cannot be maintained due to changes in weather patterns. Needing strong, constant wind to most effectively power wind generators is one reason they are often built in coastal areas. Another disadvantage is that the structure of most practical wind powered generators is huge and bulky. Commonly, its size is proportional to the wind power it can collect.

    Research in wind power has now intensified because of its innate advantages over other power generators. With this increase in interest in wind energy and alternative energy sources as a whole, our future will become brighter and more and more remote areas will eventually enjoy the benefits of clean electric energy. In an electricity-dependent world, power supplies must provide the required electricity for communities and businesses. Wind powered generators might just be the solution for power shortages.

Starting a new job

by Rose Walker

    “You just got the phone call and the position is yours. It’s been a long time since you have started a new job and you need to prepare yourself for it. Will you really like your new position? How will the people treat you and can you get along with them? These are some of the questions that might run through your mind when you start a new job.

    Before you start your new position you need to get in the right frame of mind, so you can do the best job you can do.

    The first step in preparation for this new journey is to let all your fears go. Don’t walk into a new job with fear. This will keep you from being productive. Having negative thoughts about your new job will become a reality and this will cause problems right there. Stay in the same frame of mind you had when you applied for the position. This was something that you obviously wanted to do and was excited about doing. Keep those same thoughts and attitude when you actually start working your new job. By keeping that attitude you will eliminate a lot of your problems in the beginning with this new position. Your way of thinking will become your way of acting. Do a thorough research on your new company so you can understand what they do and how you will play a part in it.

    Have a good understanding about the company in full detail so it will give you that ease you need to have for you to succeed. This will allow you to have the confidence you will need to start this new job and you won’t feel so lost when you start interacting with your co-workers. Having the right attitude will allow you to get along with your co-workers even better. Everyone when they start a new job is considered the new kid on the block. This can make you feel left out right there, since everyone usually know everyone else and already have a comfort zone with each other. You have to let them know by being in the right frame of mind when you start that you can work with each and every one of them. If you come in with that fear, it’s going to seem like you are a unfriendly person and automatically no one will want to have anything to do with you. This will be a bad way to start off on your new job. You plan to be there for awhile and communicating with your co-workers on a daily base.

    Your attitude and the way you present yourself in the beginning is very important. It will determine how your relationship will be throughout the job. Getting along with your boss and coworkers is important, it can help you to succeed or be one of the causes to make you want to leave.

    Starting a new job can be a wonderful experience. Sure all of us are nervous about stepping into a new environment and meeting and dealing with new people. That’s what’s so exciting about it, everything is new. You have to look at it as a new journey in your life and not a dreaded trip that you have to make. Erase all those negative thoughts and fears you have so you can go in with a positive attitude that will let you be a positive person. Let this be a new spectacular and fantastic time in your life. When you stop and prepare yourself mentally for your new job, you will be a success at it.”

The text Starting a new job is about:

by Maggie Shiels

Technology reporter,

BBC News, Silicon Valley

    

    “Google has speeded up its internet search engine by launching a product called Instant that displays results as soon as users type in queries.

     The service predicts a user's query and modifies the displayed results as more letters are typed into the search box.

     The company described it as ‘search at the speed of thought’.

    Previously Google's suggested search terms and did not reveal results until the ‘enter’ key was hit or the ‘search’ button was clicked.

Google Instant goes live in the next week and on mobile devices by autumn.

     The service will initially be rolled out in the US, UK, Spain, Germany, France and Russia.

       Challenge to Microsoft?

     In a demo event held at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art, Marissa Mayer, Google's vice-president of search products and user experience, typed in ‘sfm’ into the search box to demonstrate the new service.

    As she typed, results appeared instantly for ‘SF MOMA’ - the first predicted search result. In another demo, when the letter ‘w’ was entered, a list of links offering the ‘weather’ appeared along with images showing the temperature.

    ‘We've actually predicting what query you are likely to do and we're giving you results for that,’ said Ms Mayer.

       Google estimates that the typical user spends nine seconds entering a query and 15 seconds looking for answers.

        The company says Google Instant could shave between two and five seconds off a typical web search.

    ‘Google is betting all they have that speed is everything,’ Harry McCracken of technology blog Technologizer.com told the BBC.

     ‘Saving one or two seconds isn't that big of a deal. One of my instant thoughts is that I am going to see results I don't want because until I type enough that it knows what I want, it is going to show me links I am not interested in.’

     Technology commentator Robert Scoble said that the new feature would present a real challenge to Microsoft search engine Bing, which has been slowly chipping away at Google's lead in the search market.

    ‘Playing with it, it dramatically changes the way I do searches. I think it is a pretty major leap forward but this means that Bing becomes far less interesting and they now have to step up,’ said Mr. Scoble.

     Microsoft currently commands around 11% of the US search market compared to Google's 66%, according to research firm Comscore.

     Bing has gradually increased its market share since launch, although its growth has recently slowed.”

In the sentence, “I think it is a pretty major leap forward but this means that Bing becomes far less interesting and they now have to step up”, the verb “to step up” would best be replaced by:

Em um artigo da Redação do site UOL, lemos:

     “O Dia Mundial Sem Carro foi comemorado pela primeira vez em 1998, na França. Com o tempo, a mobilização se estendeu por países europeus e chegou a outros continentes. No Brasil, o evento ocorreu pela primeira vez em 2001.”

     Em entrevista ao UOL Ciência e Saúde, Lincoln Paiva (LP), coordenador no Brasil do Dia Mundial Sem Carro, afirma:

     “LP: O Dia Mundial Sem Carro é um dia para as pessoas pensarem em como elas poderiam contribuir com uma cidade mais sustentável sob o ponto de vista da mobilidade, não é um dia contra os automóveis. É possível planejar nossa mobilidade sem ter que depender do carro para tudo. Muitas pessoas utilizam o carro para fazer qualquer coisa, inclusive para realização de trajetos que poderiam ser feitos a pé. Outro fator é o status social: a maioria das pessoas tem o transporte público como coisa de pobre, o que não deveria ser uma verdade. O transporte coletivo serve para diminuir o trânsito da cidade; utilizado com inteligência, é possível melhorar a qualidade de vida das pessoas.”

Disponível em: http://noticias.uol.com.br/ultnot/cienciaesaude/ ultimas-noticias/2010/09/22/para-ambi.

UOL Ciência e Saúde pergunta: “Na sua opinião, a consciência para o problema e a busca por alternativas de mobilidade sustentável só vai ocorrer quando o uso do automóvel se tornar realmente inviável por causa do trânsito?

LP: Não, sempre haverá paliativos, alguém que vai querer lucrar com o trânsito e inventar algo para as pessoas fazerem quando estiverem no congestionamento, como aprender uma língua etc. Temos uma noção errada sobre mobilidade, é preciso entender que essa mentalidade é ultrapassada e que o trânsito é uma questão de escolha pessoal.”

Segundo o dicionário Aulete, sustentabilidade significa: “1. qualidade ou condição de sustentável; 2. Ecol. Econ. modelo de desenvolvimento que busca conciliar as necessidades econômicas, sociais e ambientais de modo a garantir seu atendimento por tempo indeterminado e a promover a inclusão social, o bem-estar econômico e a preservação dos recursos naturais.”

A partir da resposta de Lincoln Paiva, e levando em conta o conceito de sustentabilidade, é correto afirmar:

Leia o fragmento pertencente ao poema José, de Carlos Drummond de Andrade. A seguir, observe o quadro O Grito do pintor norueguês Edvard Munch, e responda ao que se pede:

“E agora, José?

A festa acabou,

a luz apagou,

o povo sumiu,

a noite esfriou,

e agora, José?

e agora, você?

você que é sem nome,

que zomba dos outros,

você que faz versos,

que ama, protesta,

e agora, José?

Está sem mulher,

está sem discurso,

está sem carinho,

já não pode beber,

já não pode fumar,

cuspir já não pode,

a noite esfriou,

o dia não veio,

o bonde não veio,

o riso não veio,

não veio a utopia

e tudo acabou

e tudo fugiu

e tudo mofou,

e agora, José? [...]”

As duas obras de arte, o poema e a tela, embora pertençam, respectivamente, à Literatura e à Pintura, trazem à tona questionamentos semelhantes, como:

I- A questão das emoções humanas mais profundas frente ao mundo.

II- A possibilidade de a arte discutir o estar no mundo.

III- A angústia como sentimento inerente ao ser humano.
