    Economic Recession Has Impact on
    Museums And Cultural Centres
    SILAS MARTÍ - 03/22/2016

         Long gone is the golden age of blockbuster exhibitions that marked the past few years of Brazil’s cultural scene. The country’s museums have maintained an ominous silence in relation to their plans for this year of recession. This is not owing to any desire for secrecy, but rather due to the dominating sense of uncertainty. For many months, the economic crisis has been quietly gnawing away at cultural institutions, resulting in devastating staff cuts in almost all of the country’s museums. However, it is only now that the effects of the downturn are rearing their ugly head in the public eye, with the start of what ought to be the exhibition season with the arrival of the São Paulo art fair in two weeks time.

    Do tweens and teens believe “fake news”?


    Let's be clear: "Fake news" has always existed. From P.T. Barnum to Ripley's Believe It or Not to supermarket tabloids, selling outrageous ideas has long been a part of our culture. Most kids can tell the difference between the shocking stories they see in the checkout line and the more evenhanded reporting they see on the local TV news.

    But today's fake online news sources so closely mimic real news that it's challenging even for adults to discern what's real and what's fake. Also, kids have less experience in and context for evaluating news sources, so certain words or images that might immediately tell an adult that something is fake or biased might not have the same effect on kids.

    According to Common Sense Media's report, News and America's Kids: How Young People Perceive and Are Impacted by the News, less than half of kids agree that they know how to tell fake news stories from real ones. When it comes to online news, the stats reveal a serious lack of faith:

    Only about one in four kids who gets news online think that news posted online is "very accurate."

    Only seven percent think news by people they don't know well is "very accurate."

    Tweens are more likely than teens to think that news posted online is "very accurate."

    The good news is that kids who get news from social media sites are trying to be careful readers. Most kids who get their news from social media say they pay "a lot" or "some" attention to the source the link on social media takes them to. And the majority who get news online say that when they come across information in a news story that they think is wrong, they "sometimes" or "often" try to figure out whether or not it's true.

    Is some Olympic commentary sexist?
    By Claire Bates, 11 August 2016

        According to a recent study by Cambridge University Press. Researchers analysed millions of words relating to men and women and Olympic sports in the Cambridge English Corpus (CEC) and the Sport Corpus - massive databases that include news articles and posts on social media.
        The study revealed common word combinations for female athletes included aged, older, pregnant and married or unmarried. In contrast, top word combinations for male athletes included fastest, strong, big and great.
        It also found that the language around women in sport also focussed disproportionately on appearance, clothes and personal lives.
        It’s not just language where there is a difference in attitude - female Olympic athletes are still garnering far fewer column inches and given less TV airtime than their male counterparts. Researchers found men were mentioned twice as often in the CEC and three times more often in the Sports Corpus.
        However, some things are changing. The proportion of female athletes competing at the Olympics has increased with every games since 1964 when it was 13.2%. By 1988, 26.1% of competitors were women and in Rio 2016 it is 45%.

    Redefining the Kilogram


    The kilogram is shrinking.

    The official object that defines the mass of a kilogram is a tiny, 139-year-old cylinder of platinum and iridium that resides in a triple-locked vault near Paris. Because it is so important, scientists almost never take it out; instead they use copies called working standards. But the last time they did inspect the real kilogram, they found it is roughly five parts in 100 million heavier than all the working standards, which have been leaving behind a few atoms of metal every time they are put on scales. This is one of the reasons the kilogram may soon be redefined not by a physical object but through calculations based on fundamental constants.

    “This [shrinking] is the kind of thing that happens when you have an object that needs to be conserved in order to have a standard,” says Peter Mohr, a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), who serves on the committee that oversees the International System of Units (SI). “Fundamental constants, on the other hand, are not going to change over time.”

    The redefinition of the kilogram will be part of a planned larger overhaul to make SI units fully dependent on constants of nature. Representatives from 57 countries will vote on the proposed change this month at a conference in Versailles, France, and the new rules are expected to pass.

    What will happen to the old kilogram artifacts after the redefinition? Rather than packing them off to museums, scientists plan to keep studying how they fare over time. “There is so much measurement history on these,” says physicist Stephan Schlamminger of NIST. “It would be irresponsible to not continue to measure them.”

    Lava Mae: Creating Showers on Wheels for the Homeless


    San Francisco, according to recent city numbers, has 4,300 people living on the streets. Among the many problems the homeless face is little or no access to showers. San Francisco only has about 16 to 20 shower stalls to accommodate them.

    But Doniece Sandoval has made it her mission to change that. The 51-year-old former marketing executive started Lava Mae, a sort of showers on wheels, a new project that aims to turn decommissioned city buses into shower stations for the homeless. Each bus will have two shower stations and Sandoval expects that they'll be able to provide 2,000 showers a week.

    THE child of Mary Queen of Scots,

    A shifty mother’s shiftless son,

    Bred up among intrigues and plots,

    Learned in all things, wise in none.

    Ungainly, babbling, wasteful, weak,

    Shrewd, clever, cowardly, pedantic,

    The sight of steel would blanch his cheek.

    The smell of baccy drive him frantic.

    He was the author of his line –

    He wrote that witches should be burnt;

    He wrote that monarchs were divine,

    And left a son who – proved they weren’t!

    Don't write in English, they said,

    English is not your mother tongue...

    ...The language I speak

    Becomes mine, its distortions, its queerness

    All mine, mine alone, it is half English, half

    Indian, funny perhaps, but it is honest,

    It is as human as I am human...

    ...It voices my joys, my longings my
