    Working for on demand startups like Uber and TaskRabbit is supposed to offer flexible hours and higher wages, but many workers have found the pay lower and the hours less flexible than they expected. Even more surprising: 8 percent of those chauffeuring passengers and 16 percent of those making deliveries said they lack personal autoinsurance.

    Those are among the findings from a survey about the work life of independent contractors for on-demand startups, a booming sector of the tech industry, being released Wednesday.

    "We want to shed light on the industry as a whole," said Isaac Madan, a Stanford master's candidate in bioinformatics who worked with two other Stanford students and a recent alumnus on the survey of 1,330 workers. "People need to understand how this space will change and evolve and help the economy."

    On-demand, often called the sharing economy, refers to companies that let users summon workers via smartphone apps to handle all manner of services: rides, cleaning, chores, deliveries, car parking, waiting in lines. Almost uniformly, those workers are independent contractors rather than salaried employees.

    That status is the main point of contention in a recent rash of lawsuits in which workers are filing for employee status. While the survey did not directly ask

    contractors if they would prefer to be employees, it found that their top workplace desires were to have paid health insurance, retirement benefits and paid time off for holidays, vacation and sick days - all perks of full time workers. Respondents also expressed interest in having more chances for advancement, education sponsorship, disability insurance and human relations support. Because respondents were recruited rather than randomly selected, the survey does not claim to be representational but a conclusion one may come to is that flexibility ofnew jobs comes with a cost. Not all workers are prepared for that!

    About half of the world's population is at risk of contracting dengue, according to the World Health Organization. The mosquito is found in tropical and subtropical climates around the world; however, dengue does not naturally occur in these creatures: the mosquitoes get dengue from us.
    The mechanism of dengue infection is simple. Female mosquitoes bite humans because they need the protein found in our blood to produce eggs. (Male mosquitoes do not bite.) Ifthe mosquito bites someone with dengue - and then, after the virus's roughly eight- to 12-day replication period, bites someone else - it passes dengue into its next victim's bloodstream.
    There is no vaccine against dengue, but infecting mosquitoes with a natural bacterium called Wolbachia blocks the insects' ability to pass the disease to humans. The microbe spreads among both male and female mosquitoes: infected females lay eggs that harbor the bacterium, and when Wolbachia-free females mate with infected males, their eggs simply do not hatch. Researchers are now releasing Wolbachia infected females into the wild in Australia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Brazil.

    What Your Tweets Say About You
    By Maria Konnikov

    Imagem da questão de Inglês, CEDERJ 2015, Advérbios e conjunções | Adverbs and conjunctions 

    How much can your tweets reveal about you? A lot! - would be the answer of psychologists James Pennebaker e Cindy Chung, at the University of Texas, who study how language relates to well-being and personality. One of Pennebaker’s most famous projects is a computer program called Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (L.I.W.C.), which looks at the words we use, and in what frequency and context, and uses this information to study our psychological states and various aspects of our personality.
    Since the creation of the L.I.W.C., in 1993, studies utilizing the program have suggested a close connection between our language, our state of mind, and our behavior. They have shown, for instance, that a person’s word choices can reveal her place in a social or professional hierarchy; and that the use of different filler words (“I mean”; “You know”) can suggest whether a speaker is male or female, younger or older, and more or less conscientious. “The words we use in natural language reflect our thoughts and feelings in often unpredictable ways,” Pennebaker and Cindy Chung have written.
    The psychologist Johannes Eichstaedt and his colleagues analyzed eight hundred and twenty-six million tweets across fourteen hundred American counties(1). Then, using lists of words that can be reliably associated with positive and negative emotions, they gave each county an emotional profile. Finally, they asked a simple question: Could those profiles help determine which counties were likely to have more deaths from heart disease?
    The answer was yes. Counties where residents’ tweets included words related to hostility, aggression, hate, and, fatigue — words such as “jealous,” and “bored”— had significantly higher rates of heart-related deaths. On the other hand, where people’s tweets reflected more positive emotions and engagement, heart disease was less common. The tweet-based model even had more predictive power than other models based on traditional demographic, socioeconomic, and health-risk factors.

    (1) Um condado (county/counties) ou província é um aglomerado de cidades, não tão grande quanto um estado.

    Machiavellianism" is a ...... used negative term to characterize unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli described in The Prince. The book itself gained enormous notoriety and wide readership because most readers assumed the author was teaching and endorsing evil and immoral behavior. Because of this, the term "Machiavellian" is often associated with deceit, deviousness, ambition, and brutality. However that was Machiavelli's stylistic device to gain the reader's attention for his close analysis of the actual techniques used by rulers.

    TEXTO 8

    CAPÍTULO XVIII

    Rubião e o cachorro, entrando em casa, sentiram, ouviram a pessoa e as vozes do finado amigo. Enquanto o cachorro farejava por toda a parte, Rubião foi sentar-se na cadeira, onde estivera quando Quincas Borba referiu a morte da avó com explicações científicas. A memória dele recompôs, ainda que de embrulho e esgarçadamente, os argumentos do filósofo. Pela primeira vez, atentou bem na alegoria das tribos famintas e compreendeu a conclusão: “Ao vencedor, as batatas!”. Ouviu distintamente a voz roufenha do finado expor a situação das tribos, a luta e a razão da luta, o extermínio de uma e a vitória da outra, e murmurou baixinho:

    — Ao vencedor, as batatas! 

         Tão simples! tão claro! Olhou para as calças de brim surrado e o rodaque cerzido, e notou que até há pouco fora, por assim dizer, um exterminado, uma bolha; mas que ora não, era um vencedor. Não havia dúvida; as batatas fizeram-se para a tribo que elimina a outra a fim de transpor a montanha e ir às batatas do outro lado. Justamente o seu caso. Ia descer de Barbacena para arrancar e comer as batatas da capital. Cumpria-lhe ser duro e implacável, era poderoso e forte. E levantando-se de golpe, alvoroçado, ergueu os braços exclamando: 

    — Ao vencedor, as batatas!

          Gostava da fórmula, achava-a engenhosa, compendiosa e eloquente, além de verdadeira e profunda. Ideou as batatas em suas várias formas, classificou-as pelo sabor, pelo aspecto, pelo poder nutritivo, fartou- -se antemão do banquete da vida. Era tempo de acabar com as raízes pobres e secas, que apenas enganavam o estômago, triste comida de longos anos; agora o farto, o sólido, o perpétuo, comer até morrer, e morrer em colchas de seda, que é melhor que trapos. E voltava à afirmação de ser duro e implacável, e à fórmula da alegoria. Chegou a compor de cabeça um sinete para seu uso, com este lema: AO VENCEDOR AS BATATAS. 

        Esqueceu o projeto do sinete; mas a fórmula viveu no espírito de Rubião, por alguns dias: — Ao vencedor as batatas! Não a compreenderia antes do testamento; ao contrário, vimos que a achou obscura e sem explicação. Tão certo é que a paisagem depende do ponto de vista, e que o melhor modo de apreciar o chicote é ter-lhe o cabo na mão.

    (ASSIS, Machado de. Quincas Borba. São Paulo: Ática, 2011. p. 38-39.)

        In Text 8, the expression “Ao vencedor as batatas" is similar in meaning to the English expression “To the victor belong the spoils". Published originally only four years after the official end of slavery in Brazil, when we consider the last part of the excerpt from Quincas Borba, “Tão certo é que a paisagem depende do ponto de vista, e que o melhor modo de apreciar o chicote é ter-lhe o cabo na mão", we note a sociopolitical undertone to the text.

        Reflecting upon the idea that we understand literature through society, and society through its literature, which of the texts below gives us a similar window on the historical moment of slavery throughout the Americas?

    I - “There was much activity in the year – men unhitching horses, curious children scurrying about, Romero assigning quarters to the new slaves [...] Never known for patience, Romero snatched his whip and swung it overhead. But his hand froze in midair, the whip swinging impotently in the morning breeze" (Llanos-Figueroa, Dahlma. Daughters of the stone. New York: St. Martin's Press, 2009. p. 6.).

    II - “They unhitched from schoolteacher's horse the borrowed mule that was to carry the fugitive woman back to where she belonged, and tied it to the fence […] All testimony to the results of a little so-called freedom imposed on people who needed every care and guidance in the world to keep them from the cannibal life they preferred" (Morrison, Toni. Beloved. New York: Vintage Books, 1987. p. 177.).

    III - “What fueled those who were leaving was less fear of communism, which Fidel had only hinted at at that point, or shortages of any kind, because the U.S. embargo was still a distant concern, but the persistent rumors of invasions and imminent combat that were sweeping Havana" (Obejas, Achy. Days of awe. New York: Ballantine Books, 2001. p. 6.).

    TEXTO 7

                                          Ao mar

        Choveu dias e depois amanheceu. Joel chegou à janela e olhou o quintal: estava tudo inundado! Joel vestiu-se rapidamente, disse adeus à mãe, embarcou numa tábua e pôs-se a remar. Hasteou no mastro uma bandeira com a estrela de David... 

         O barco navegava mansamente. As noites se sucediam, estreladas. No cesto de gávea Joel vigiava e pensava em todos os esplêndidos aventureiros: Krishna, o faquir que ficou cento e dez dias comendo cascas de ovo; Mac-Dougal, o inglês que escalou o Itatiaia com uma das mãos amarradas às costas; Fred, que foi lançado num barril ao golfo do México e recolhido um ano depois na ilha da Pintada. Moma, irmão de sangue de um chefe comanche; Demócrito que dançava charleston sobre fios de alta tensão... 

        — A la mar! A la mar! – gritava Joel entoando cânticos ancestrais. Despertando pela manhã, alimentava-se de peixes exóticos; escrevia no diário de bordo e ficava a contemplar as ilhas. Os nativos viam-no passar – um ser taciturno, distante, nas águas, distante do céu. Certa vez – uma tempestade! Durou sete horas. Mas não o venceu, não o venceu! 

         E os monstros? Que dizer deles, se nunca ninguém os viu? 

         Joel remava afanosamente; às vezes, parava só para comer e escrever no diário de bordo. Um dia, disse em voz alta: "Mar, animal rumorejante!" Achou bonita esta frase; até anotou no diário. Depois, nunca mais falou. 

         À noite, Joel sonhava com barcos e mares, e ares e céus, e ventos e prantos, e rostos escuros, monstros soturnos. Que dizer destes monstros, se nunca ninguém os viu? 

         — Joel, vem almoçar! – gritava a mãe. Joel viajava ao largo; perto da África. 

    (SCLIAR, Moacyr. Melhores contos. Seleção de Regina Zilbermann. São Paulo: Global, 2003. p. 105/106.)
