Aspectos linguísticos | Linguistic aspectsUniversidade Luterana do Brasil · 2011DifícilEntre para guardar nos favoritosAs we all know, electricity is a fundamental need. On a daily basis, we consume electricity even without us knowing it. Just a simple task such as listening to your music player consumes electricity. Today, most of our electric generators and power plants are fed with fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal. However, due to the exponential increase of power demand, fossil fuel supplies are slowly being depleted. Not only that, but also burning fossil fuels has given off greenhouse gases and other unwanted byproducts. Because of this, the search for alternative energy sources is now a necessity. One of the most promising alternative energy sources today is Wind Powered Generators. So, what is a wind-powered generator? Basically it is the use of wind as a mechanical force needed to power an electric generator. Utilizing wind as an energy source is not exactly a new idea. The ancient Persians were the first to use wind to pump water, cut wood, and grind food and others by building windmills. Even today you can find windmills still being used on some farms. It was the use of wind as an electric source that came into existence much later. The first practical wind powered generators were built in 1970, but yet we rarely see them in widespread use today, why? Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of the wind powered generator.The main advantage of wind powered generators is that they have, ideally, zero gas emissions – unlike fossil-fueled power generators. Because of the alarming effects of greenhouse gases and global warming, we want our power generators to be as clean and as environmentally friendly as possible. Since there is no burning process in a wind powered generator that produces toxic gases, it is very safe to build one in residential areas. Also, with proper engineering and enough wind, these generators can provide a high rate of wattage that can go as high as the Megawatt range. Another advantage is that it can be implemented using several small turbines connected together. This is a good thing when there is not enough space for huge structures.The major disadvantage of wind powered generators is that wind power varies greatly from one place to another and from day to day and season to season. Sometimes wind may be strong enough to supply energy, but that strength cannot be maintained due to changes in weather patterns. Needing strong, constant wind to most effectively power wind generators is one reason they are often built in coastal areas. Another disadvantage is that the structure of most practical wind powered generators is huge and bulky. Commonly, its size is proportional to the wind power it can collect.Research in wind power has now intensified because of its innate advantages over other power generators. With this increase in interest in wind energy and alternative energy sources as a whole, our future will become brighter and more and more remote areas will eventually enjoy the benefits of clean electric energy. In an electricity-dependent world, power supplies must provide the required electricity for communities and businesses. Wind powered generators might just be the solution for power shortages.Disponível em: http://mysolarcellhome.org/articles/pros-and-cons-of-wind-powered-generators.

For Obama, Big Rise in Poll Numbers After Bin Laden Raid
Support for President Obama has risen sharply following the killing of Osama bin Laden by American military forces in Pakistan. Support for the president rose significantly among both Republicans and independents.
Among independents, his approval rating increased 11 points from last month, to 52 percent, while among Republicans it rose 15 points, to 24 percent. Among Democrats, 86 percent supported his job performance, compared with 79 percent in April.
In all, 57 percent said they now approved of the president’s job performance, up from 46 percent last month. More than six in 10 Americans said that killing Bin Laden was likely to increase the threat of terrorism against the United States in the short term. Nearly half said the nation should decrease troop levels in Afghanistan, but more than six in 10 also said the United States had not completed its mission in Afghanistan.

Aspectos linguísticos | Linguistic aspectsIF-TM · 2011DifícilEntre para guardar nos favoritosPREJUDICEThere is a crippling disease that no amount of medical research can cure, no amount of fundraising can prevent – a disease most often transmitted from parent to child.If this disease isn‟t checked in its early stages, it can be fatal. The disease is called racism. Its early symptom is the belief that one‟s racial group is somehow superior to others. This can lead to a mentality of “we” versus “them”. In advanced stages, the symptoms of racism are violence, death and destruction. The causes are fear of the foreign (xenophobia), intolerance of diversity and negative attitudes toward Jews and other minorities.A cure, however, exists. It‟s a non-surgical change of heart. It takes time, effort and understanding, compassion and respect.Its in the sentence: “if this disease isn‟t checked in its early stages, it can be fatal”, refers to:Institute for the Healing of Racism, Utah.Adapted from English for All, Eliana/Maria Clara/Neuza, V. 2, Saraiva, São Paulo, 2010 . p. 83.A35B2D6A-AF Inglês
Aspectos linguísticos | Linguistic aspectsPUC-GO · 2011DifícilEntre para guardar nos favoritosFirme vontade de viver, de navegar na transparência da verdade, na criação do instante presente. Sentir a força dos segundos transformados em horas, meses, em eternidade histórica do ser. Viver, sentir o presente como verdade, como instante único e imponderável é recuperar na irrecuperabilidade do rio que passa, a força das águas, a memória que jamais deixa de ser ela mesma – é o recomeço dos tempos a cada minuto corporificado, vivido intensamente com sua energia, sem voltar-se lacrimosamente ao passado; sem projetar-se também para o futuro, esquecendo o agora. Sintonizar-se no presente, recuperar sua força, não deixá-lo esvair-se, escorrer em vãs suposições é marca original do homem que se faz e se reconhece historicamente nos passos da humanidade, no correr do rio, no vôo das aves; ouvir sua voz no ciciar dos ramos, na sinfonia do amanhecer primeiro: virginal manhã de sua criação e do recomeço do universo.[...]Traço letras, as histórias se embaralham nas páginas soltas, as personagens cruzam-se nos enredos diversos misturando seus papéis. Penélope e Páris. Helena e Ulisses. José, esposo de Maria, impulsivamente não quer representar o marido exemplar. Olhos, braços e devaneios deslocam-no para outros amores. A troca é nítida, as personagens esfumaçam-se na trama existencial. A vida não é tida como absolutamente irremediável. A leveza nos atos das trocas não altera o valor do câmbio. Na roda viva nem sempre o balé é sutil, há também marchas militares e nupciais. Há o desencontro harmonioso na dança da capoeira, os corpos não se tocam. Os parceiros se avaliam, espreitam-se e batem em retirada. O duelo corporal e verbal é abandonado. Dos corpos sensíveis e expressivos ficam ecos e imagens fugidias nas lembranças que se esvaem ao menor aceno do presente. O passado não possui consistência, não houve emoção no ato vivido, só a gratuidade do descompromisso, do non-sense tacitamente aceito por todos...(MARTINS, Maria Teresinha. Rapto de memória. 2. ed. Goiânia: Ed. da PUC Goiás, 2010. p. 18 e 40.)
