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 ...

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!

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.

No terceiro parágrafo, o pronome “they" se refere: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.From: http://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/can-tweets-predict-heart-diseaseGLOSSARY: conscientious: consciencioso/cuidadoso; reliably: seguramente; profile: perfil; heart disease: doença do coração; hate: ódio; jealous: com ciúmes; bored: entediado; higher rates: taxas mais altas; engagement: comprometimento; predictive: previsível.Leia o texto e responda à questão.
