PRISONS AND MOBILE PHONES
Bricking the intruders
If mobile phones can’t be kept out of prisons, can they be made useless?
Oct 14th 2010 | RAIFORD, FLORIDA AND PARCHMAN, MISSISSIPPI
THE striking thing about mobile phones in American prisons is not that they exist—though they do, in great numbers—but the ingenuity used to get and keep them. There are the usual entry methods: from visitors, corrupt guards or in packages hurled over the fence. But phones often take more exotic paths. In South Carolina a potato gun was used to fire phones over prison walls from a distance of a third of a mile. In Mississippi a suspiciously heavy and bounceless basketball in the recreation yard was found to contain 19 phones and chargers. (…)

them, in bold type refers to:A questão se refere ao texto abaixo.
“A atividade que a televisão desempenha no contexto educacional é externa a ela [...] A televisão depende do entorno. Nesse sentido, a televisão está – ou pode estar mais relacionada, paradoxalmente, com a realidade. A atividade gerada na Internet está intrinsecamente unida ao meio. Tudo é feito dentro da Internet. Essa autosuficiência pode levar à endogamia, ao autismo e à ilusão de uma realidade tecnológica que possa substituir o entorno humano. A televisão tradicional tem uma dimensão mais humanóide, porque a relação com o mundo, na televisão, está estreitamente vinculada à imagem antropocêntrica [...] Por isso, a televisão tende a aprisionar o espectador em seu próprio mundo; a fazer com que ele não se interesse pelo que acontece com os outros. A Internet não pode desenvolver-se sem a participação dos usuários. Isso não obriga ninguém a ter interesse social pelo outro, mas a atividade de cada um depende, sim, da atividade do outro.”

The gorilla joke
A gorilla went into a bar and ordered a whisky. The barman thought that it was unusual to see a gorilla in a bar drinking whisky and, thinking that gorillas must be stupid, he thought he would try to take advantage of the situation and overcharge him. He served the gorilla the whisky and said, 'That'll be fifty dollars please'. The gorilla immediately took out his wallet and paid the barman, who was very happy. The gorilla drank his whisky quietly and then ordered another. The barman served him and charged him another fifty dollars. As the gorilla was drinking his whisky, the barman got curious and decided to find out why the gorilla was in the bar. So, to strike up a conversation, he said, 'It's funny, we don't get many gorillas in here'.
'I'm not surprised with the price of your whisky.' the gorilla replied.

Emergency Oceans Rescue Plan
Our oceans give us life – they provide us with oxygen and food, and they contain over 80% of all life on Earth. In exchange, we plunder them of fish, choke them with pollution and heat them with climate change. As a result of industrial fishing in the last 60 years, 90% of the oceans’ large predatory fish, such as tuna, swordfish, marlin and sharks, have been taken from our oceans. We are only beginning to understand the full extent of the impacts our actions have. As climate change causes sea ice in our polar oceans to melt and air pollution increases the acidity of our oceans, the degradation of our oceans is gathering pace.
However, our ocean crisis can - and must - be reversed by setting aside areas of oceans as marine reserves, areas offlimits to fishing and other industrial activities, like wildlife parks at sea. In 2006, Greenpeace presented a bold vision for the world community - a proposal for a global network of marine reserves covering 40% of the oceans. Since then, world leaders have failed to make significant progress, despite international commitments under the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to create this network by 2012. The condition of our oceans has continued to worsen; today less than 1% of them are protected as marine reserves.

Toms Shoes make it a Christmas to
remember in Argentina
The ethical fashion brand, founded four years ago by L.A entrepreneur, Blake Mycoskie, 34 has just given away its millionth pair of shoes in a bid to make a difference to the lives of poverty stricken children around the world.
Toms Shoes is based on a simple philosophy, for every pair of shoes it sells on the high street, it gives away a pair to a child in need.
‘When I arrived in Buenos Aires four years ago, I was shocked by the level of poverty I saw and the number of children running around barefoot. I wanted to do something to help,” says Blake. “Four years on we sell our shoes all over America and Europe and distribute free shoes to kids everywhere from South America and Haiti to Ethiopia. Coming back to Argentina was really special.’ Argentina may conjure up romantic images of tango clubs and polo matches but over a quarter of the population live in poverty here with a shocking one in ten surviving on less than a dollar a day.
Typically a child might share one pair of shoes with several siblings meaning their tiny feet are usually calloused and rough by the tender age of five or their toes twisted and bent from wearing ill-fitting shoes.
Toms Shoes has now become something of a movement rather than a business and with a host of designers on board the brand has acquired an array of celebrity fans from Demi Moore to Keira Knightly. Even Bill Clinton has a pair.

One can infer from Blake’s actions that
Grandes autores constroem obras que perpassam não apenas gerações, mas períodos históricos. Não são poucos os poemas de Camões, nos quais encontramos temáticas extremamente atuais e que falam de angústias vividas pelo homem contemporâneo. Leia o soneto abaixo e assinale a alternativa correta.
Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as vontades,
muda-se o ser, muda-se a confiança;
todo o Mundo é composto de mudança,
tomando sempre novas qualidades.
Continuamente vemos novidades,
diferentes em tudo da esperança;
do mal ficam as mágoas na lembrança,
e do bem (se algum houve), as saudades.
O tempo cobre o chão de verde manto,
que já coberto foi de neve fria,
e, enfim, converte em choro o doce canto.
E, afora este mudar-se cada dia,
outra mudança faz de mor espanto,
que não se muda já como soia
