                            ABORTION BECOMES ISSUE IN BRAZIL'S PRESIDENTIAL RUNOFF


                 As Brazil's charismatic President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva makes a triumphant exit, having fostered a fast-growing economy that lifted millions out of poverty and pleased financial markets, his country seems more than ever to embody the word "progress" that is emblazoned across its national flag. But as the Oct. 31 run-off election to choose his successor approaches, the focus is shifting to one aspect of Brazilian society where many say there has been little progress: Abortion is still illegal, despite one in five Brazilian women undergoing the procedure in their lifetimes.
                 With religious-right votes up for grabs in the upcoming poll, the two remaining candidates and the leading party are backing down from earlier abortion-rights endorsements, leading abortion-rights advocates to say that votes are being traded for women's health. Two-thirds of Brazil's 191 million people are Roman Catholics, making it the world's largest Catholic nation. But the number of those professing evangelical beliefs, some 17 percent of the population, is growing fast.
                 The frenzy to collect more of those votes is causing Lula's left-wing Workers Party to mull whether to back off its commitment to see abortion rights debated in Congress, and the party's candidate, Dilma Rousseff, heavily favored to win, is distancing herself from abortion-rights comments she made before becoming a candidate.
                 "It will be really ugly if the Workers Party pulls abortion rights from its agenda," said Regina Soares, a spokeswoman for the abortion-rights group Catholics for the Right to Decide. "[Abortion] is a problem of a huge size, which has same importance as unemployment and homelessness," she said. Abortion is illegal in Brazil except in the case of rape or if the mother's life is in danger. Yet one in five Brazilian women under age 40 has had an abortion, the vast majority illegally. Half of those women end up in the hospital as the result of complications, said Marcelo Medeiros, an economist and sociologist who coordinated a 2009 government-funded abortion study. The abortion question shifted to the fore after Sunday's first-round presidential elections, in which Rousseff was expected to sail easily past the 50 percent mark that would have made a second round unnecessary. But she received 46.8 percent, forcing a runoff with centrist challenger Jose Serra at the end of the month. Support for the 62-year- old former guerrilla, Lula's chosen successor, eroded in part because the religious right aired ads portraying Rousseff as pro-abortion-rights, observers said. To shore up votes, the Workers Party is considering whether to yank its promise to see abortion rights debated in Congress. In his more recent position as Brazil's health minister, Serra, along with the Workers Party, has advocated for a debate on abortion in Congress in the name of public health. But during his campaign, Serra declared himself anti-abortion. Observers are split on whether the issue could prevent a Rousseff win. Alberto Almeida, director of market research group Instituto Analise, said voters don't see the difference between the abortion stances of Serra and Rousseff. "Abortion won't have a big role in the election because nobody has a clear position on abortion," Almeida said. But a Workers Party senator from Parana state said some of her party members could end up promoting legalized abortion, a position that could "cost the presidency," said Gleisi Hoffman, according to a Folha report. "While most Brazilians support abortion in special cases, the rest is "a gray area," Medeiros said.

    “ Autism affects one in 45 children in the United States, almost twice the rate from a few years ago, said a survey Friday that uses a new approach to assess the frequency of the developmental disorder. The latest figures may reflect a more accurate picture of autism spectrum disorder, said the report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics, and so does not necessarily mean that there is a ballooning autism epidemic.
    In fact, the study found that while autism spectrum diagnoses are more frequent than in the past, the overall number of people affected by neurodevelopment problems has not risen, but has remained steady over time. Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability that may cause a person to have difficulty behaving, learning, communicating and interacting with people. It is believed to be influenced by genetic and environmental factors, though scientists do not fully understand all its causes.”

    Text 2 - How to Tell if Your Sunscreen Protects You From the Sun - Here’s what you need to know.


        Don’t go overboard with the SPF. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using an SPF of at least 30, but most experts agree to not go over 50. It’s not that a higher SPF doesn’t provide any more protection, but once you get above 50, that increase is negligible. Case in point: SPF 50 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 100 blocks about 99%.
        But most sunscreen users don’t think about that; rather, they see a number that’s twice as high and assume they’ll get twice as much protection or that the protection will last twice as long, which cultivates a false sense of security that could lead to a bad burn. “SPF values above 50 are really misleading,” Lunder says. “They offer a very small increase in sunburn [UVB] protection, and they don't offer better UVA protection.” She says that the FDA is considering a rule to cap SPF values at 50, but nothing has been finalized.
        And then there’s the fact that, although the increase in SPF doesn’t add much protection, it could increase your chances of negative side effects from the ingredients. “We do not recommend SPF of 50 or higher, as the minimal added protection does not outweigh the exponentially more active ingredients required to do so,” Chris Birchby, the founder of the sun-care line Coola, tells Teen Vogue. “More active ingredients increase the chances of skin irritation.”

    Amy Winehouse greets Whitney Houston in heaven

    (by Hideaki Tailor)

          HEAVEN – Psychics are saying that Amy Winehouse was the first soul singer to greet Whitney Houston, even before Michael Jackson.

           Top psychics in Los Angeles are saying that Whitney Houston’s spirit is already “lighting up” heaven. “It’s like the universal source has called the greatest voice of all time back to heaven. It’s pure magic up there.”

         “Amy was right there. She gave Whitney a big angel hug and walked with her as she met some of her ancestors, relatives and… Michael Jackson.” 

    Imagem da questão de Inglês, UNESP 2012, Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehension

          Both singers had trouble on earth with alcohol and drugs, but they are at peace now. “Fame was too much for their gentle souls,” said Madam Marie of Sherman Oaks. “Their voices were a gift to our world, but caused great damage to their spirits on earth. Now, they are in a better place.” 

         One psychic said that Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston are planning a “concert” together in Whitney’s first few months. “Amy’s been doing very well in heaven and feels free and happy.”

          While Americans and fans around the world mourn the terrible loss of Whitney, the angels are rejoicing. “Our songbird is home,” is what St. Peter reportedly said when greeting Whitney, according to a psychic on Venice Beach.

    Tears dry on their own


    All I can ever be to you,

    Is a darkness that we knew

    And this regret I got accustomed to

    Once it was so right

    When we were at our high,

    Waiting for you in the hotel at night

    I knew I hadn’t met my match

    But every moment we could snatch

    I don’t know why I got so attached

    It’s my responsibility,

    And you don’t owe nothing to me

    But to walk away I have no capacity

    He walks away

    The sun goes down,

    He takes the day but I’m grown

    And in your way

    In this blue shade

    My tears dry on their own.

    I don’t understand

    Why do I stress a man,

    When there’s so many bigger things at hand

    We could have never had it all

    We had to hit a wall

    So this is inevitable withdrawal

    Even if I stopped wanting you,

    A perspective pushes through

    I’ll be some next man’s other woman soon

    […]

    I wish I could say no regrets

    And no emotional debts

    ’Cause as we kissed goodbye the sun sets

    So we are history

    The shadow covers me

    The sky above a blaze

    That only lovers see
