    Free-Diving Family Saves Whale Shark Stuck in a
    Fishing Net

    BY JASON BITTEL
    PUBLISHED AUGUST 8, 2018

        While free-diving off the shore of Kaunolû on Hawaii’s island of Lanai, a Hawaiian family saw something they’d never seen before: A young whale shark.
       Even for people who spend a lot of time in Hawaii’s crystalline waters, this endangered animal—the world’s largest fish—is a rare and joyous sight.
       But the initial wonder faded as Kapua Kawelo and her husband Joby Rohrer, both of whom work on endangered species for the O‘ahu Army Natural Resources Program, noticed the creature had a thick, heavy rope wrapped around its neck.
       “It looked really sore,” says Rohrer. “There were these three scars from where the rope rubbed into the ridges on her back. The rope had cut probably three inches into her pectoral fin.” 
        After filming the shark for a while, the family decided to try to cut the rope with a dive knife. Using only his experience as a free-diver and a small, serrated dive blade, Rohrer dove down again and again at depths of 50 to 60 feet for spans of up to two minutes at a time.
        Finally, after about half an hour of careful work and a little bit of support from the couple’s son Kanehoalani and from Jon Sprague, a wildlife control manager for Pûlama Lâna»i, the shark was free.
       Then the family’s 15-year-old daughter, Ho’ohila, swam the 150-pounds worth of rope to shore.
       “It’s a family story,” says Kapua.

    THIS SIMPLE MIND TRICK CAN INSTANTLY BOOST

    YOUR WILLPOWER BY

    ELISA ROLAND


    Imagem da questão de Inglês, IF Sul - MG 2018, Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehension


    A good dose of willpower is often necessary to see any task through, whether it’s sticking to a spending plan or finishing that great American novel.

    And if you want to increase that willpower, you just simply have to believe you have it, suggests a new study supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

    “What matters most is what we think about our willpower,” leader study author Christopher Napolitano, educational psychology professor at the University of Illinois told the University of Illinois News Bureau. “When we view our willpower as limited, it’s similar to a muscle that gets tired and needs rest. If we believe it is a finite resource, we act that way, feeling exhausted and needing breaks between demanding mental tasks, while people who view their willpower as a limitless resource get energized instead.”

    Napolitano and study co-author Veronika Job of the University of Zurich tested the validity of the Implicit Theory of Willpower for Strenuous Mental Activities Scale, a psychological assessment tool. They asked 1,100 Americans and 1,600 Europeans to weigh in on statements such as “After a strenuous mental activity, your energy is depleted, and you must rest to get it refueled again.”

    Although there was little difference between men and women overall, Americans were more likely to admit to needing breaks after completing mentally challenging tasks, while European participants became more invigorated to keep going.

    Based on the findings, Napolitano suggests that the key to amp up your willpower is to believe that you have an abundant supply of it.

    “Your feelings about your willpower affect the way you behave—but these feelings are changeable,” he said. “Changing your beliefs about the nature of your self-control can have positive effects on development, leading to healthier behaviors and perceptions of others.”

    Now that you have the drive, make sure you have the other winning attributes all successful people have in common.

                                                                                                        24 March 2018


                 Drivers are being temporarily blinded by modern vehicle

                           headlights, according to an RAC survey.


          Two-thirds of drivers say they are "regularly dazzled" by oncoming headlights even though they are dipped, the survey of 2,061 motorists suggests.

          And 67% of those said it can take up to fi ve seconds for their sight to clear with a further 10% claiming the eff ect on their eyes lasts up to 10 seconds.

    The RAC said advances in headlight technology were causing the problem.

          About 15% of those drivers polled said they had nearly suff ered a collision as a result of being dazzled by other drivers using full-beam headlights.


    'Unwanted risk'


          RAC road safety spokesman Pete Williams said: "The intensity and brightness of some new car headlights is clearly causing diffi culty for other road users.

          "Headlight technology has advanced considerably in recent years, but while that may be better for the drivers of those particular vehicles, it is presenting an unwanted, new road safety risk for anyone driving towards them or even trying to pull out at a junction.”

          All cars sold for road use in the UK have to be fi tted with headlamps that conform to standards set by the EU in line with the UN's World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations.

          A UN working party is currently looking at the issue of headlight glare with its next meeting due to be held at the end of next month.

                   YOUTUBE TO BAN VIDEOS PROMOTING GUN SALES

                                                                By NIRAJ CHOKSHI    MARCH 22, 2018


          YouTube said this week that it would tighten restrictions on some firearm videos, its latest policy announcement since coming under scrutiny after last month’s mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla.

          The video-streaming service, which is owned by Google, said it would ban videos that promote either the construction or sale of firearms and their accessories. The new policy, developed with expert advice over the last four months, will go into effect next month, it said.

          “While we’ve long prohibited the sale of firearms, we recently notified creators of updates we will be making around content promoting the sale or manufacture of firearms and their accessories, specifically, items like ammunition, gatling triggers, and drop-in auto sears,” YouTube said in a statement.

          YouTube, which described the move as part of “regular changes” to policy, notified users in a Monday forum post. The company had previously banned videos showing how to make firearms discharge faster, a technique used by the gunman who killed 58 people in Las Vegas last fall.

          The announcement comes days before planned student-led protests against gun violence on Saturday. It was met with frustration from gun rights advocates.

          “Much like Facebook, YouTube now acts as a virtual public square,” the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a private group representing gun makers, said in a statement. “The exercise of what amounts to censorship, then, can legitimately be viewed as the stifling of commercial free speech, which has constitutional protection. Such actions also impinge on the Second Amendment.”

          The policy shift comes as YouTube and other technology platforms face increased scrutiny after the Parkland shooting, in which 17 people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

          Days after that massacre, a video promoting a baseless conspiracy about a shooting survivor became the top-trending video on YouTube, prompting a crackdown on such videos. YouTube’s chief executive also said that the platform planned to fight misinformation by working in partnership with Wikipedia, the nonprofit userrun online encyclopedia. But Wikipedia said it knew nothing about that plan.

          Other businesses have also made changes amid growing pressure following the Parkland attack.

          Dick’s Sporting Goods, Walmart and Kroger all raised the age limit for firearm purchases to 21. The retail chains REI and Mountain Equipment Co-op suspended orders of some popular products because the company that owns those brands, Vista Outdoor, also manufactures assault-style rifles.

          In 2016, Facebook announced a ban on private gun sales on its flagship website as well as on Instagram, the photo-sharing social network it owns. Anti-gun activists have complained that sellers still found ways around Facebook’s ban.

                                   Estrelas além do tempo

                                                                                                        Alex Gonçalves


          Após todas as discussões sobre representatividade que permearam o último ano hollywoodiano, “Estrelas Além do Tempo” [2016] se apresenta para o público com um timing perfeito. Há tempos não nos víamos inseridos em um cenário no qual as ideologias reacionárias estão tão evidentes, assim como os protestos em busca pela igualdade. Portanto, nada melhor do que a ficção para nos relembrar de outros períodos também nefastos que não calaram a atuação de heróis anônimos.

          No caso de “Estrelas Além do Tempo”, temos uma história que enaltece três figuras reais da NASA até então mantidas anônimas. Tratam-se de Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) e Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), três mulheres negras essenciais para o sucesso da missão do astronauta John Glenn (Glen Powell) em alcançar a lua.

          Entretanto, estamos aqui nos não tão distantes anos 1960, em uma Virgínia segregada e com poucos afroamericanos exercendo profissões que exigem um perfil lógico. Por isso mesmo, as vidas de Katherine, Dorothy e Mary foram triplamente difíceis justamente pela raça e gênero a que pertencem.

          Sempre unidas antes e após o expediente de trabalho, essas mulheres enfrentam sozinhas em suas competências os preconceitos que impedem as suas evoluções. Solicitada pelo departamento comandado por Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) para fazer os cálculos que devem assegurar o sucesso da decolagem do foguete que lançará John Glenn às alturas, Katherine é diariamente hostilizada pelos colegas, todos homens e brancos. Já em seu setor, Dorothy tem todos os seus pedidos de promoção sabotados pelo intermédio de Vivian (Kirsten Dunst), enquanto Mary não consegue desempenhar a função de engenheira por ser impedida de ingressar em uma universidade.

          Mesmo com todas essas circunstâncias, elas não desistirão de provar as singularidades que possuem, visualizando os obstáculos não como limites, mas como incentivos para continuarem perseverando. Temos com isso aquele modelo de narrativa cinematográfica que encanta desde os tempos do tramp de Charlie Chaplin, no qual a vontade para ganhar um lugar ao sol é maior do que as adversidades.

          Diretor de “Um Santo Vizinho”, Theodore Melfi se apropria do texto de Allison Schroeder compreendendo muito bem as características desse cinema inspirado e inspirador, contornando com traços ficcionais uma história real para ser efetivo principalmente em seus gritos de protesto. É especialmente arrebatadora a explosão de Katherine ao finalmente externar a sua humilhação ao precisar se prestar a um trajeto de mais de um quilômetro para ir ao banheiro exclusivo para negros. Não ficam muito atrás o fervor de Dorothy e Mary em se provarem extremamente capazes de enfrentar novos desafios.

          Além do mais, Melfi conduz com uma fluidez invejável algo que, em teoria, não tem qualquer encanto. Mesmo o mais avesso aos raciocínios de exatas se verão imediatamente hipnotizados com números e fórmulas que se revelam não somente como uma ciência complexa, como também como instrumentos sociais que só engrenam quando os seus operadores se reconhecem como semelhantes.

    Stephen Hawking
    Dies at 76; His Mind
    Roamed the Cosmos

    A physicist and best-selling author, Dr. Hawking did not allow his physical limitations to hinder his quest to answer “the big question: Where did the universe come from?” 

                                          Imagem da questão de Inglês, IF-SE 2018, Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehension

    Stephen W. Hawking, the Cambridge University physicist and best-selling author who roamed the cosmos from a wheelchair, pondering the nature of gravity and the origin of the universe and becoming an emblem of human determination and curiosity, died early Wednesday at his home in Cambridge, England. He was 76.


    His death was confirmed by a spokesman for Cambridge University.

    “Not since Albert Einstein has a scientist so captured the public imagination and endeared himself to tens of millions of people around the world” Michio Kaku, a professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York, said in an interview.

    Dr. Hawking did that largely through his book “A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes,” published in 1988. It has sold more than 10 million copies and inspired a documentary film by Errol Morris. The 2014 film about his life, “The Theory of Everything” was nominated for several Academy Awards and Eddie Redmayne, who played Dr. Hawking, won the Oscar for best actor.

    Scientifically, Dr. Hawking will be best remembered for a discovery so strange that it might be expressed in the form of a Zen koan: When is a black hole not black? When it explodes.

    What is equally amazing is that he had a career at all. As a graduate student in 1963, he learned he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neuromuscular wasting disease also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was given only a few years to live. 

    The disease reduced his bodily control to the flexing of a finger and voluntary eye movements but left his mental faculties untouched.

    He went on to become his generation’s leader in exploring gravity and the properties of black holes, the bottomless gravitational pits so deep and dense that not even light can escape them. 

    That work led to a turning point in modern physics, playing itself out in the closing months of 1973 on the walls of his brain when Dr. Hawking set out to apply quantum theory, the weird laws that govern subatomic reality, to black holes. In a long and daunting calculation, Dr. Hawking discovered to his befuddlement that black holes — those mythological avatars of cosmic doom — were not really black at all. In fact, he found, they would eventually fizzle, leaking radiation and particles, and finally explode and disappear over the eons.

    The first step in establishing a cyber ethical culture is to ask the really tough questions, the answer to which may be politically incorrect. HR (Human resources), legal, security and top management need to work together to set the tone they wish to flow through gaming; other times off-site meetings will work.

    The second step is to include cyber ethical components in corporate security awareness campaigns to keep employees clued in.

    The last but most important step is to be ready to make changes rapidly when cyber ethics becomes a component of information security efforts. We cannot predict how they will change tomorrow or next year – but we need to be prepared.

          These days, when our slow recovery from recession seems like a full-employment program for pessimistic pundits, it’s great to have a new book from Chris Anderson, an indefatigable cheerleader for the unlimited potential of the digital economy. Anderson, the departing editor in chief of Wired magazine, has already written two important books exploring the impact of the Web on commerce. In “The Long Tail,” he argued that companies like Amazon that faced distribution challenges arising from having large quantities of the same kind of product would thrive by “selling less of more.” Corporations didn’t have to chase blockbusters if they had a mass of small sales. In “Free: The Future of a Radical Price,” he argued that giving stuff away to attract a multitude of users might be the best way eventually to make money from loyal customers. Anderson has also helped found a Web site, Geekdad, and an aerial robotics company. From his vantage point, in the future more and more people can get involved in making things they really enjoy and can connect with others who share their passions and their products. These connections, he claims, are creating a new Industrial Revolution.

          In a 2010 Wired article entitled “In the Next Industrial Revolution, Atoms Are the New Bits,” Anderson described how the massive changes in our relations with information have altered how we relate to things. Now that the power of information-sharing has been unleashed through technology and social networks, makers are able to collaborate on design and production in ways that facilitate the connection of producers to markets. By sharing information “bits” in a creative commons, entrepreneurs are making new things (reshaping “atoms”) more cheaply and quickly. The new manufacturing is a powerful economic force not because any one business becomes gigantic, but because technology makes it possible for tens of thousands of businesses to find their customers, to form their communities.

    Anderson begins his new book, “Makers,” with the story of his grandfather Fred Hauser, who invented a sprinkler system. He licensed his invention to a company that turned ideas into things that could be built and sold. Although Hauser loved translating ideas into things, he needed a company with resources to make enough of his sprinklers to turn a profit. Inventing and making were separate. With the advent of the personal computer and of sophisticated but user-friendly design tools, that separation has become increasingly irrelevant. As a child, Anderson loved making things with his grandfather, and he still loves creating new stuff and getting it into the marketplace. “Makers” describes how today technology has liberated the inventor from a dependence on the big manufacturer. “The beauty of the Web is that it democratized the tools both of invention and production,” Anderson writes. “We are all designers now. It’s time to get good at it.”

          In a 2010 Wired article entitled “In the Next Industrial Revolution, Atoms Are the New Bits,” Anderson described how the massive changes in our relations with information have altered how we relate to things. Now that the power of information-sharing has been unleashed through technology and social networks, makers are able to collaborate on design and production in ways that facilitate the connection of producers to markets. By sharing information “bits” in a creative commons, entrepreneurs are making new things (reshaping “atoms”) more cheaply and quickly. The new manufacturing is a powerful economic force not because any one business becomes gigantic, but because technology makes it possible for tens of thousands of businesses to find their customers, to form their communities.

    Anderson begins his new book, “Makers,” with the story of his grandfather Fred Hauser, who invented a sprinkler system. He licensed his invention to a company that turned ideas into things that could be built and sold. Although Hauser loved translating ideas into things, he needed a company with resources to make enough of his sprinklers to turn a profit. Inventing and making were separate. With the advent of the personal computer and of sophisticated but user-friendly design tools, that separation has become increasingly irrelevant. As a child, Anderson loved making things with his grandfather, and he still loves creating new stuff and getting it into the marketplace. “Makers” describes how today technology has liberated the inventor from a dependence on the big manufacturer. “The beauty of the Web is that it democratized the tools both of invention and production,” Anderson writes. “We are all designers now. It’s time to get good at it.”

    TEXT 1


          These days, when our slow recovery from recession seems like a full-employment program for pessimistic pundits, it’s great to have a new book from Chris Anderson, an indefatigable cheerleader for the unlimited potential of the digital economy. Anderson, the departing editor in chief of Wired magazine, has already written two important books exploring the impact of the Web on commerce. In “The Long Tail,” he argued that companies like Amazon that faced distribution challenges arising from having large quantities of the same kind of product would thrive by “selling less of more.” Corporations didn’t have to chase blockbusters if they had a mass of small sales. In “Free: The Future of a Radical Price,” he argued that giving stuff away to attract a multitude of users might be the best way eventually to make money from loyal customers. Anderson has also helped found a Web site, Geekdad, and an aerial robotics company. From his vantage point, in the future more and more people can get involved in making things they really enjoy and can connect with others who share their passions and their products. These connections, he claims, are creating a new Industrial Revolution.

          In a 2010 Wired article entitled “In the Next Industrial Revolution, Atoms Are the New Bits,” Anderson described how the massive changes in our relations with information have altered how we relate to things.
