He and others went on a 322- kilometre journey from London to Glastonbury. The people had no money – they wanted to see if it was possible to live through kindness. It seems, that in 21st century Britain, it is. The man talked about their experience – he said that when you smile at people, take time to understand their story, then they will come forward and are naturally kind.

REVIEW: ‘MULTITUDINOUS HEART,’ NEWLY TRANSLATED POETRY BY CARLOS DRUMMOND DE ANDRADE
Books of The Times
By Dwight Garner JULY 2, 2015
Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902-1987) is widely considered the greatest poet in the history of Brazil, a country where poets are taken seriously. One of his poems, “Canção Amiga” (“Friendly Song”), was once printed on the 50 cruzados bill.
Mr. Drummond’s bald, equine, bespectacled visage appears on T-shirts and book bags in Brazil. Since 2002 there has been a statue of him on the Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, his adopted hometown. This statue faces away from, not toward, the ocean. This was a witty decision (he was an inward poet) that annoys the unintelligentsia, who want him spun around.
Now we have “Multitudinous Heart,” an expanded, reshuffled and welcome selection of Mr. Drummond’s verse. In new translations by Richard Zenith, we meet a sophisticated and cerebral poet who, true to this book’s title, speaks in many registers. He is by turns melancholy and ironic, sentimental and self-deprecating, remote and boyish.
His wealthy father owned ranches in the mountainous state of Minas Gerais, and the poet was the fifth of six children to reach adulthood. He was used to hubbub. Large family meals are recalled, and there is a constant sense of a raucous daily grind: “Weddings, mortgages,/the cousins with TB,/ the crazy aunt.”
Yet the poems more often contain a measured sense of solitude. Mr. Drummond studied to become a pharmacist but worked most of his life as a civil servant in the Ministry of Education.
He was said to be anything but gregarious; he was never a “smiling public man,” in Yeats’s locution. He was animated on the inside. One of his favorite words was “twisted.” He thought we humans were mostly impertinent and odd.
He felt wizened before his time. In a 1945 poem, he speaks of “the old man in me./He began to harass me in childhood.” In a 1951 poem, “The Table,” he writes:
A bunch of louts in our fifties,
balding, used up, burned out,
yet in our chests we preserve
intact that boyish candor,
that scampering into the woods,
that craving for things forbidden.
Mr. Drummond is worth encountering on the page. You probably need this volume and the earlier one, alas, to glimpse him in full. In a satirical 1945 poem titled “In Search of Poetry,” he offered this advice for the apprentice poet:
Don’t dramatize, don’t invoke,
don’t inquire. Don’t waste time lying.
Don’t get cross.
Your ivory yacht, your diamond shoe,
your mazurkas and superstitions, your family skeletons
all vanish in the curve of time, they’re worthless.
Ha. The good news about “Multitudinous Heart” is that it proves Mr. Drummond didn’t believe a word of that hooey.

The country’s museums have maintained an ominous silence in relation to their plans for this year of recession. This is not owing to any desire for secrecy, but rather due to the dominating sense of uncertainty. For many months, the economic crisis has been quietly gnawing away at cultural institutions, resulting in devastating staff cuts in almost all of the country’s museums. However, it is only now that the effects of the downturn are rearing their ugly head in the public eye, with the start of what ought to be the exhibition season with the arrival of the São Paulo art fair in two weeks time.(Adaptado de www1.folha.uol.com.br - acesso em 27/06/2016)Entre as consequências apresentadas no texto que justificam o título do artigo, podemos citar:

(Alexandre Versignassi e Eduardo Szklarz)
[...] Para começar a entender como funciona a inteligência em mentes que não são de Homo sapiens, temos que compreender como elas percebem o mundo. Para os humanos, uma rosa é uma flor romântica. Para um besouro, ela é um território de caça. Um leopardo mal percebe que as rosas existem. Um cachorro não vai ligar pra ela, a menos que ela contenha xixi de outro cachorro ou tenha sido tocada pelo dono. Aí sim, ele vai dar à rosa um montão de significados.
“Enquanto somos seres visuais, os cães sentem a realidade com o focinho”, diz a psicóloga americana Alexandra Horowitz, especialista em comportamento animal. Ao cheirar um cafezinho, por exemplo, algumas pessoas conseguem saber se ele foi adoçado com uma colherinha de açúcar. Já um beagle consegue farejar uma colher de açúcar diluída numa quantidade de café equivalente a duas piscinas olímpicas.
Assim, o universo dos cachorros é um extrato de cheiros diferentes. Talvez por isso eles não liguem para a própria imagem no espelho. Mesmo que não concluam que a imagem é a deles, não sentem nenhum cheiro diferente, então não interpretam como sendo outro cachorro. Esse supernariz também lhes confere a habilidade de um detetive. Graças aos odores que você exala e às células epiteliais que deixa pelo caminho, seu cão sabe quase tudo sobre você: por onde andou, que objetos tocou, o que comeu, se beijou alguém ou se correu um pouco. Exceto a comida, claro, ele não se interessa pelos outros dados. O olfato do cão é capaz até de rastrear doenças em humanos, como mostra um recente estudo da Universidade Kyushi, no Japão. O labrador Marine, de 8 anos, detectou câncer de intestino ao cheirar o hálito e as fezes de pacientes. Tumores de pele, pulmão e bexiga também já foram farejados por cães em estudos anteriores. Mas nem vem, cachorrada: nossa capacidade de ler placas lá longe na estrada deixaria vocês morrendo de inveja.
[...] Golfinhos aprendem linguagens artificiais, como demonstrou o psicólogo Louis Herman, da Universidade do Havaí, EUA. Numa delas, palavras representadas por sons de computador formavam 2 mil frases. Quando os golfinhos ouviam “ESQUERDO BOLA BATER”, por exemplo, entendiam que era para bater na bola do lado esquerdo. E também compreendiam a ordem das palavras. Sabiam que o pedido “PRANCHA PESSOA ÁGUA” era para que levassem uma prancha a uma pessoa que estava na água. Já “PESSOA PRANCHA ÁGUA” era para levar a pessoa à prancha na água. Não existe diferença entre fazer isso e aprender um idioma. Ponto para os golfos.
Mas talvez nem eles sejam páreo para Chaser, uma border collie. A cadela aprendeu o nome de mais de mil objetos - a maioria brinquedos, mas tudo bem. Seu dono, um psicólogo, já nem conta mais quantas palavras ela sabe. Agora ele prefere lhe ensinar rudimentos de gramática. Então estamos de acordo: certos animais, quando treinados, conseguem compreender parte da linguagem humana. [...] a ideia de que eles praticamente não se comunicam entre si morreu faz tempo. Até as abelhas fazem isso: elas dançam para informar a distância e a direção das fontes de alimentos.
Golfinhos têm uma linguagem interna. Eles se comunicam por assobios e sinais corporais como saltos, tapas da cauda na água e fricção da mandíbula. Cada animal tem uma modulação única, o que lhe confere uma voz individual.
Kathleen Dudzinski, diretora do Dolphin Communication Project, escuta esses animais há quase 20 anos com aparelhos que registram a frequência e as nuances de sua linguagem. Mas admite que ainda falta muito para decifrá-la, sobretudo porque golfinhos nadam rápido e é difícil captar uma conversa entre vários animais debaixo d’água. Além disso, cada sinal varia conforme o contexto. Com os humanos é igual: dependendo da situação, uma pessoa que levanta a mão aberta quer dizer “tchau”, “pare” ou “custa R$ 5”. [...]
Golfinhos têm um lado sádico: se aproximam sorrateiramente de gaivotas que descansam na água, dão um caldo nelas e as liberam depois de mantê-las alguns segundos debaixo d’água, sofrendo.
Mas o macaco rhesus, um primata asiático com jeito de babuíno, está aí para redimir seus colegas aquáticos. Num estudo da Universidade Northwestern, EUA, os macacos precisavam apertar um botão para ganhar comida. Mas sempre que eles faziam isso outros rhesus levavam um choque (de leve, mas um choque). Alguns macacos não se importaram. Mas com outros foi diferente. O psicólogo americano Frans De Wall conta melhor: “Um macaco parou de apertar o botão por 12 dias depois de ver outro levar choque. Ele estava morrendo de fome para não causar sofrimento aos outros”. Pois é. Não precisa ser gente para pensar, se emocionar ou aproveitar a vida. Nem para ser gente fina.

We asked J. D. Levite, the deals editor of the product recommendations website The Wirecutter, for some data on just how beneficial the deals are on Black Friday – and the answer was not encouraging.Year round, Mr. Levite and his team track product prices across the web to unearth discounts on goods of all types, from gadgets to kitchenware. They also look at whether the product is high quality and durable based on their own testing and other reviews, and whether the seller or brand has a reasonable return or warranty policy. By those measures, Mr. Levite said, only about 0.6 percent, or 200 out of the approximately 34,000 deals online, which typically carry the same price tags inside retailers’ physical stores, will be good ones on Black Friday. “There are just more deals on that day than any other day of the year,” he said. “But for the most part, the deals aren’t anything better than what you’d see throughout the rest of the year.” [...]According to the text 3, choose the title that best summarizes the whole idea.67EA517F-DD Inglês

SPECIAL ENVOY TO RIO
Steinz still “has hope” that he will find some of the people
responsible for the Jewish genocide during WWII still living.
The Third Reich fell apart 71 years ago, leading Nazis, low to top ranking, to escape to Latin America in mass. That stampede has been compared to the escape of rodents from a sinking ship -the “rat routes”.
Delegate Uwe Steinz, 58, still “has hope” that he will find some of the people responsible for the Jewish genocide during World War II still living.
After fighting organized crime and prostitution in his country, the German lives off “hunting Nazis”-and believes there is a fistful of them in Brazil.
Since 2009, as an employee of the Central Office of the State Justice Administrations for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes, he has already made 14 trips to the National Archive in Rio. Among five million immigrant registration records, Steinz is searching for the registrations for Germans born between 1916 and 1931.
The information of those who fit the profile is sent to the headquarters in Germany, which verifies if the person served the Third Reich. He didn’t come to hunt the “big fish” of the SS, the elite squad of Nazis -older, they are probably no longer with us. His target is the “lower clergy”, such as camp guards and accountants.
The most famous one of them, Joseph Mengele, the “Angel of Death”, was a doctor in Auschwitz responsible for prisoner triage (forced labor or gas chamber). He died at age 67, in 1979, when he drowned in Bertioga (on the coast of São Paulo), possibly a victim of cardiac arrest. He was never tried.
There are more accounts of older Nazis in Brazil, like Herbert Cukurs (who rented paddleboats in Niterói) and Franz Stangl, employed at a Volkswagen factory in ABC Paulista.
Arrested in 1967, Stangl was extradited and was targeted for the death of 900 thousand people. “My conscience is at peace”, he said at the time.www1.folha.uol.com.brF0D7F799-D9 Inglês

But what time a country wakes up seems to have little effect on sleep duration.Prof Daniel Forger, one of the researchers, said there was a conflict between our desire to stay up late and our bodies urging us to get up in the morning.The study also showed women had about 30 minutes more per night in bed than men, particularly between the ages of 30 and 60.And that people who spend the most time in natural sunlight tended to go to bed earlier. A strong effect of age on sleep was also detected. A wide range of sleep and wake-up times was found in young people but "that really narrows in old age," said Prof Forger."It highlights that although our body clocks are programming us to do certain things, we can't as we're ruled by social circumstances."We won't know the long-term consequences of this for many years."Adaptado de:<http://www.bbc.com/news/health-36226874> Acessado em 7 de maio de 2016.The research study on global sleeping patterns3059E435-D5 Inglês

These threats include the increasing complexity of the health care landscape, combined with today’s technology-enabled consumer, according to the “Truth About Doctors” study conducted by marketing services firm McCann.The study found that the pressures of today’s world have not only stolen time and autonomy from doctors, but have simultaneously demanded they do more on someone else’s agenda.“The autonomous, entrepreneurial role the doctor has played in the past has changed dramatically. In the last five years, doctors have gone from being the lynchpin in the health care system to a devalued cog in a larger wheel,” said co-author of the study Hilary Gentile.The research involved interviews with 450 doctors across the United States.Study co-author Laura Simpson added, “Modern-day doctors have become trapped in a paradoxical standard where they’re expected to forge a warm relationship with patients, yet operate with the cold precision of a machine. In our real-time, know-it-all culture, their authority and respect are eroding right under their feet.”In addition to the physician interviews, this research revealed that nearly one-third of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 think they could be doctors with little or no training.“People think that because they can go on WebMD, they understand what we understand,” said one physician quoted in the report. “We have studied and seen so much, but people just don't value or respect that anymore.”“Of doctors who said that, on average, technology such as WebMD and wearable devices are bad for patients, the number one risk they cited of this technology is that patients misdiagnose themselves (74%),” Ms. Simpson said. “Fiftyseven percent also said that patients don’t take the doctor’s advice because they think they know better.”Disponível em: http://www.mdlinx.com/medical-student/article/395# Acessado em 5 de maio de 2016.It is true to say that216A9EF6-D5 Inglês

The material was designed to be embedded with medicallyuseful electronics, such as conductive wires, semiconductor chips, LED lights, and temperature sensors, according to a study published online December 7, 2015 in the journal Advanced Materials.
Electronics coated in the hydrogel could be placed not only on the surface of the skin but also inside the body—such as implanted biocompatible glucose sensors or soft, compliant neural probes, the researchers wrote.
“Electronics are usually hard and dry, but the human body is soft and wet. These two systems have drastically different properties,” said lead investigator Xuanhe Zhao, Associate Professor in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Dr. Zhao explained, “If you want to put electronics in close contact with the human body for applications such as health care monitoring and drug delivery, it is highly desirable to make the electronic devices soft and stretchable to fit the environment of the human body. That’s the motivation for stretchable hydrogel electronics.”
Current hydrogels are often brittle and made of degradable biomaterials that don’t last long, he explained.

There's no stink like our own stink: We are more forgiving of the disgusting smells of those we have been told are members of our own group than of outsiders. So say researchers at St. Andrews University after pushing stinky gym shirts into the noses of people who were told the garments belonged to either their own college or a nearby one. Reporting in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they find that people are far less tolerant when the stench comes from outsiders, which they say has implications for not just social exclusion but even prejudice and discrimination.
