    Last month, University of Washington sophomores Navid Azodi and Thomas Pryor won the 2016 Lemelson-MIT student prize for creating “SignAloud” – gloves that recognize the hand gestures of ASL (American Sign Language) and translate it into text and speech. The gloves are worn on both hands and contain sensors that record movement and send data wirelessly via Bluetooth to a central computer, which interprets words and phrases through a speaker.

    The team was one of seven winners in the “Use It” undergraduate category that recognizes technology- -based inventions to improve consumer devices. They were awarded $10,000. For Azodi, the idea sprang from personal experience: At 18 months old, a severe seizure took away his speech. “I didn’t speak until I was seven years old,” he told NBC News. “I used non-verbal communication and basic sign language. For years, I had to go to speech therapy.” Doctors said Azodi would be handicapped and suggested he focus on English and sign language. Though he was born in the United States, Azodi’s parents were from Iran and spoke Farsi. “I understood what it was like to have a communication barrier and I could see how technology could be a useful tool,” he said. Azodi shared his story and the two inventors “bonded in problem solving,” according to Pryor, who studies astronautics engineering. Their prototype gloves, which cost about $100, are lightweight and compact, unlike other devices on the market. “They are a lot more ergonomic,” Pryor told NBC News. “Some devices use video input for gesture and others have impractical sensors all over the body. We wanted to focus on something that consumers would buy.” “We were not really expecting something of this magnitude,” Pryor told NBC News. “It was a personal project between the two of us and something fun to do. It goes to show what opportunities are around the corner.” The students reached out to the deaf community to guide them in grammar and syntax and how the gloves might be used. Pryor said getting feedback had been a “humbling experience.” The gloves have just as much potential for those who hear and want to learn ASL. They also have medical potential to help stroke victims during rehabilitation. Since the prize was announced, the students have received inquiries from investors and manufacturers, some offering technical support. But they caution that the gloves are just an early prototype and work still needs to be done before they are ready to market. “We want to take it further, to push it ahead,” Azodi said. “It has such great potential.”

    “justice, each getting what he or she is due. Formal justice is the impartial and consistent application of principles, whether or not the principles themselves are just. Substantive justice is closely associated with rights, i.e., with what individuals can legitimately demand of one another or what they can legitimately demand of their government (e.g., with respect to the protection of liberty or the promotion of equality).
    Retributive justice concerns when and why punishment is justified. Debate continues over whether punishment is justified as retribution for past wrongdoing or because it deters future wrongdoing. Those who stress retribution as the justification for punishment usually believe human beings have libertarian free will, while those who stress deterrence usually accept determinism.
    At least since Aristotle, justice has commonly been identified both with obeying law and with treating everyone with fairness. But if law is, and justice is not, entirely a matter of convention, then justice cannot be identified with obeying law.”

    TEXTO 3

                                  A dor do mundo

          Eu não queria sair do meu brinquedo. Eu escrevia versos na areia na clara areia sob a paineira frondosa ou pensava mundos com a mão enquanto mexia com a terra. Eram formas de nada que acabavam compondo seres estranhos, animais de outro mundo, fantasmas, tudo o que a areia podia fornecer às minhas mãos de oito anos. Mas mãos de oito anos já suportam a alça de um balde com água, ou um feixe de gravetos para ajudar a fazer fogo no fogão a lenha. Mãos de oito anos já podem fazer coisas concretas, como tirar água da cisterna se o balde não for muito grande. Elas não servem apenas para criar mundos com terra molhada ou escrever poemas na areia seca. Não se pode dizer que é feio ser pobre, mas não há como negar que a pobreza dói. E essa dor sentida pelo adulto é intuída pela criança das mais variadas formas. Todas elas repousam na intrincada natureza do não. Era tão simples o meu modo de brincar. Do que vivenciei na infância, ficaram os mais puros fios de tristeza. As alegrias ficaram nas intenções de ser. As mais puras veias de dor. As sensações de não compreensão por estar ali, fazendo o quê? O que fazia ali, um menino com dor de ter de ficar ali, no canto do mundo, mirando e mirando as coisas em si? Todas elas ali, do mesmo jeito do monte de lenha, ou das galinhas no terreiro que aprendi desde cedo a entender sua forma enigmática de olhar o mundo. Elas olhavam ao ar como se vissem algo que pudesse anunciar um estranhamento qualquer com que se devesse ter cuidado. O universo das galinhas é uma espécie de síntese crucial da humanidade. Uma de minhas obrigações era colher os ovos nos ninhos esparramados pelo quintal. Eu gostava e não gostava de fazer esse trabalho. De procurar eu gostava. Os ninhos ficavam bem escondidos e arquitetonicamente perfeitos. Eram construídos em espaços difíceis. Ao construírem seus ninhos, as galinhas optam pelo difícil, como os bons poetas. Suas escolhas se apresentam desde a topologia do lugar onde constroem até o detalhamento, a perfeição na elaboração do ninho. Havia ninhos que ficavam suspensos em filetes secos, ramos complexos, espaços abertos. Havia ninhos que ficavam suspensos e presos por poucos ramos. Mas ficavam muito bem protegidos. Encontrá-los era uma emoção, era uma quase de felicidade. Sempre era nova a sensação. Se acontecesse da galinha estar no ninho, eu me afastava rapidamente e da maneira mais delicada possível. Ela poderia se assustar e aquele era um momento mágico. Eu só me aproximava do ninho, na ausência da galinha. Daí, ao ver aquilo, como se fosse a primeira vez que eu via um ninho e ainda mais precioso, como se fosse a primeira vez que eu visse um ninho de galinha com ovos, então eu ficava a contemplar por um tempo, sem saber o que fazer a não ser olhar pro ninho e olhar pros ovos e olhar pro ninho com ovos e ficar olhando. A forma de composição era tão perfeita e tão bonita que minhas mãos não conseguiam tocar os ovos. Era a profunda sensação do proibido que me invadia. Na verdade, era uma espécie de crime o que a gente cometia. Imaginemos como a galinha se sentia ao ver o seu belo ninho quase completamente esvaziado. Eu deixava só um, o endez, para ela não abandonar o ninho. Era bom, por outro lado, encher de ovos o cestinho de vime e ir correndo mostrar pra minha mãe o meu grande feito. Algumas vezes, e isso era raro, surgia entre os ovos, uns dois ou três azuis. Era muito bonito e a gente mostrava pra todo o mundo. Esse universo de aves e ninhos é muito rico e muito próximo do processo de composição artístico. Guimarães Rosa mostrou isso de forma maravilhosa na sua narrativa Uns inhos engenheiros, criando uma analogia entre o processo de criação do ninho do pássaro e o poema lírico. Para mim, a relação era totalmente lúdica.

    Climate change is messing with time


        “The melting of polar ice due to global warming is affecting Earth’s rotation and could impact on precision timekeeping, according to a recent study.
        The planet is not about to jerk to a halt, nor speed up so rapidly that everyone gets flung into space. But timekeeping is an exact science in a highly technological society, which is why global authorities more than half a century ago felt compelled by the slight changes in Earth’s rotation to invent the concept of the ‘leap second’.
       Climate change makes these calculations even more complicated: Soon it may be necessary to insert a ‘negative leap second’ into the calendar to get the planet’s rotation in sync with Coordinated Universal Time.
         Timekeeping is based on an astronomical basis. Earth is a type of a clock. In simpler times, the planet would spin one full revolution on its axis, and everyone would call it a day.
        But Earth doesn’t spin at a perfectly constant speed. Our planet is in a complicated gravitational dance with the moon, the sun, the oceanic tides, Earth’s own atmosphere and the motion of the planet’s solid inner core.
         The planet’s fluctuating spin rate is carefully tracked by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service. In the early 1970s, Earth was clearly slowing down in its rotation, and a gap was forming between atomic time and astronomical time. Thus, was born the ‘leap second’ to adjust for the fact that the ‘day’ was getting a bit longer.
         The melting of the ice caps in Antarctica and Greenland shifts mass — meltwater — toward the equator. That process increases the equatorial bulge of the planet. Meanwhile, at the poles, the land that had been pressed down by ice rises, and Earth becomes more spherical.
          According to the study, although the core is causing the planet to spin faster, the planetary shape changes caused by a warming climate are slowing that process. Absent this effect, the overall acceleration of the planet’s rotation might require timekeepers to insert a ‘negative leap second’ at the end of 2026. Because of climate change, that might not be necessary until 2029.”

    TEXTO 4

          A dúvida, continuou Laura, maldita dúvida. Essa é minha companheira, a sombra inconveniente que me segura pelos calcanhares, que há de seguir comigo até o túmulo. A morte de Tomázia, será que ela me convinha? Talvez me conviesse. Essa hipótese, eu não tenho como descartar. Seu desaparecimento anularia a prova de meu crime? Teria poder para apaziguar a culpa que continuava latejando mesmo depois de meu rompimento definitivo com Vítor? A dúvida acabou se revelando muito superior à certeza. Mil, um milhão de vezes mais forte. Talvez se eu tivesse sido obrigada a confessar meu crime aos pés de um juiz, se tivesse sido enjaulada entre mulheres que me odiavam, que me submetessem ao horror do estupro, que atentassem contra minha pessoa, a sensação de culpa tivesse sido atenuada. Juro que cheguei a sentir inveja do destino reservado às muçulmanas que cometem o pecado do adultério. Desejei, sim, ser publicamente difamada, arrastada pelos cabelos, enterrada até o pescoço, e, finalmente, ter a cabeça esfacelada a pedradas. Qualquer coisa, qualquer situação limite teria sido menos penosa do que seguir carregando a culpa, enquanto simulava a mais absoluta indiferença. Não tenho vocação para o disfarce, a simulação. Ah, como eu lamentei a perda de meu direito de exibir minha fraqueza como outras mulheres faziam! Mas não, eu tinha a permanente obrigação de ser forte, de estar preparada para o momento em que meu mundo viesse abaixo, como veio.

          A visão de mulheres com as cabeças esfaceladas, transformadas em um bolo de carne sangrento e disforme, partículas de cérebro espatifadas pra tudo que é lado, arrepiou meu corpo dolorido. Sentindo um princípio de náusea, comecei a fungar uma emoçãozinha desconfiada. Essa bruxa tá me embromando, penso, daqui a pouco eu entro na dela, caio em prantos e, alagada de piedade, abraço a velha, aliso seus cabelos grisalhos, cubro-lhe a face enrugada com beijinhos consoladores. Calma, tia, calma! Cuidado com a pressão. Tem aí algum tranquilizante que eu possa lhe dar?

                                       (BARROS, Adelice da Silveira. A mesa dos inocentes. Goiânia: Kelps, 2010. p. 23.)

          In Text 4, we note a number of terms in Portuguese relating to the human body and the field of medicine such as “pressão", “tranquilizante", “face", “cabelo", “cérebro" and “corpo".

          Read the following text on blood pressure, and choose the correct words from the options below to fill in the blanks in the text.

          “Blood ______________ is the force of your blood pushing against the ______________ of your arteries. Each time your heart ______________, it pumps blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is highest when your heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure. When your ______________ is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is called diastolic pressure. Your blood pressure reading uses these two ______________. Usually the systolic number comes before or above the diastolic number."

    “Quick, quick, tell me something awful
    Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy
    Tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be is
    My eternal consolation prize
    You see, I was a debutante in another life, but
    Now I seem to be scared to go outside
    If comfort is a construct, I don't believe in good luck
    Now that I know what's what

    I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
    People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
    I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
    No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
    I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here
    I hate it here

    My friends used to play a game where
    We would pick a decade
    We wished we could live in instead of this
    I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists
    And getting married off for the highest bid
    Everyone would look down 'cause it wasn't fun now
    Seems like it was never even fun back then

    Hitting Children is Wrong and the Law Must Say So - Now

    Ending corporal punishment is an issue which touches most people very personally. Most of us were hit as
    children; most parents have hit their growing children. So far, globally, only about 17 states have completely
    prohibited all corporal punishment, with six or seven more committed to do so. In this region, I know that at least
    two – Brazil and Costa Rica – have had prohibition Bills presented to their Parliaments.
    At the first two Regional Consultations for the UN Secretary General’s Study, in the Caribbean and two weeks
    ago in South Asia, clear recommendations to prohibit all corporal punishment, including in the family, were
    adopted. But I still heard government officials and NGOs and others making more excuses: “We must wait until
    there is more support for parents; more training for teachers; smaller classes. Let’s educate first and then
    change the law…” and so on. From children’s perspective this is intolerable. From the perspective of
    international human rights law it is illegal. Why should children wait? Would we wait to prohibit violence against
    women until we can provide full employment and universal anger management classes for men? Would we wait
    to ban hitting of elderly confused relatives until we have full-time nursing care, and full training for all carers,
    available for them?
    No more excuses: this UN Study provides the opportunity to move quickly on, to put in the past the idea that
    states should authorise violence against children and instead focus on giving priority to ending all violence
    against children. State governments and all of us have to take a deep breath and stop deceiving ourselves -
    hitting children is wrong and the law must say so - now.

        Autonomous vehicles — also known as self-driving cars or self-driving vehicles — are vehicles that can navigate and operate safely with little or no human input or intervention. Autonomous vehicles are equipped with autonomous driving systems that use a combination of sensors, computing, and software to safely perceive their environment and execute driving tasks.
       Autonomous driving offers a range of benefits. One of the most significant advantages is the potential to improve road safety by reducing vehicle collisions, many of which are caused by human error. Autonomous vehicles are designed to follow traffic laws, monitor blind spots, and detect dangers faster than human drivers.
        Autonomous vehicles also have the potential to deliver freedom of mobility for people who are unable to drive by expanding access to transportation options. They can navigate traffic jams and complex urban environments efficiently, which can help reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions — particularly as the transportation industry moves away from internal combustion engines and toward electric vehicles.

        Autonomous vehicles — also known as self-driving cars or self-driving vehicles — are vehicles that can navigate and operate safely with little or no human input or intervention. Autonomous vehicles are equipped with autonomous driving systems that use a combination of sensors, computing, and software to safely perceive their environment and execute driving tasks.
       Autonomous driving offers a range of benefits. One of the most significant advantages is the potential to improve road safety by reducing vehicle collisions, many of which are caused by human error. Autonomous vehicles are designed to follow traffic laws, monitor blind spots, and detect dangers faster than human drivers.
        Autonomous vehicles also have the potential to deliver freedom of mobility for people who are unable to drive by expanding access to transportation options. They can navigate traffic jams and complex urban environments efficiently, which can help reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions — particularly as the transportation industry moves away from internal combustion engines and toward electric vehicles.

    TEXTO 5

          NA VIRADA DO SÉCULO, o biólogo Roosmarc conheceu o ápice da fama ao descobrir um novo gênero de primata: o sagui-anão-de-coroa-preta. Foi considerado pela revista Time o grande herói do planeta. Entre os mais de 500 primatas no mundo, Roosmarc descobrira o Callibella humilis, o macaquinho mais saltitante e alegre, anãozinho, com aquela coroa preta. Enquanto outros primatólogos matavam os animais para descrevê-los, dissecando-os em laboratórios, longe da Amazônia, ele criava macacos em sua casa. Esperava que morressem de forma natural e, aí sim, dissecava-os.

          O sagui-anão-de-coroa-preta foi a sensação mundial. Então, ele viveu o ápice da glória. As publicações científicas não se cansaram de elogiá-lo. Quase todos os dias, jornais e revistas estampavam: “Protetor dos animais”, “O bandeirantes da Amazônia”, “O último primatólogo”. De Manaus para o mundo. Os ribeirinhos o saudavam; os políticos o pajeavam; os estudantes de biologia o veneravam. Sim, Roosmarc era visto e considerado como herói do planeta.

          Vida simples, com suas vestes quase sempre largas cobrindo o corpo magro e alto, enfiado semanas na floresta, nunca quisera dinheiro, jamais almejara fortuna. O verdadeiro cientista, dizia, quer, antes de tudo, reconhecimento. Não havia prêmio maior do que isso. Sequer gastava o que ganhava. Aprendera com os bichos que, na vida, não se precisa de muitas coisas...

          Nascera no sul da Holanda e, aos 17 anos, mudou-se para Amsterdã. Queria estudar biologia. Nos fins do ano 60, a cidade fervilhava, era a capital da contestação. John Lennon e Yoko Ono haviam escolhido a cidade para protestar contra a Guerra do Vietnã. Os rebeldes desfilavam pelas ruas, enquanto John Lennon e Yoko Ono incitavam a quebra de valores deitados uma semana num hotel da cidade, consumindo droga e criando suas canções. O gosto pela contracultura crescia, agigantava-se. Rebelde, Roosmarc desfilava pelas ruas, gritando pela paz, também queimando maconha e outras ervas.

          Mas foi, nesta época, que ele se interessou pelos primatas. Depois que terminou a universidade, fez amizade com uma estudante, que também saboreava a contracultura, o desprezo a normas e procedimentos, e com ela, vivendo um romance apaixonado, deu volta ao mundo, como se fosse o famigerado navegante português Vasco da Gama. Estudante de artes plásticas, Marie tinha sede por aventuras: o novo lhe apetecia; o velho não era mais do que um mundo cinzento. A Europa, com seus prédios cinzentos e frios, uma população resignada, não lhe apetecia. Queria quebrar barreiras, outras fronteiras. Não queria apodrecer naquelas cidadezinhas holandesas, onde as mulheres envelheciam rapidamente e só cuidavam de casa. Não queria se transformar num símbolo de cama, fogão e igreja. Menosprezava o título “rainha do lar”, que os pastores tanto veneravam entre a população fiel. Tinha horror ao ver sua mãe de lenço na cabeça e avental cobrindo a gordura da barriga. Se ficasse numa daquelas cidadezinhas, em poucos anos estaria como a mãe – brigava constantemente com o seu pai, saía de casa aos domingos para assistir a mesmice do partor Simeão, e que, rapidamente, voltava para casa para preparar o almoço para os filhos. Que destino! A liberdade a chamava. Não era o que dizia a canção de John Lennon? Ao conhecer Roosmarc, o desejo por aventuras avivou como brasa viva. Quando convidada para segui-lo, e ela queria produzir desenhos e aquarelas jamais vistas no mundo, não titubeou, como se a oportunidade fosse um cavalo encilhado. E cavalo encilhado passa por nós somente uma vez ...
