Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. (THIS GETS BETTER!) The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘el computador’), because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The women won.

He estimates that if the place is uninhabited and there is no infrastructure in place, you need around £ 70,000 to buy an island. ‘All I can say is that my clients have a connection with nature, they have high intelligence, they have to be able to improvise, and above all, they are individualists.’ Desert islands have changed, solar energy is not difficult to get, the laptop computer and mobile phone era has arrived. Many of Mr Vladi's islands are priced around £150,000. For that you can buy Flatholmen, a 5,000 square-metre islands in a Norwegian fjord. In the same price range there is Ilhote Grande, 42,000 square-metres, south of Rio de Janeiro. It has a rocky coastline, a four-room house, bananas and coconuts. Mr Vladi's biggest sale was an island for $ 12 million. There are a lot of Japanese customers around. Because of the financial crisis in the Far East, there are plenty of people wanting to move their capital into islands. Mr Vladi himself now owns a Canadian isle and shares one in New Zealand.

Over 25 million trees are used each year in manufacturing what has been China’s primary eating utensil since 1500 B.C. The devastating floods in China in 1998 were blamed on deforestation. Since then support has risen for more careful use of forest resources. For example, many people now carry reusable chopsticks, authorities in Shanghai created a tax on disposable wooden chopsticks and more than 100 of Beijing’s stateowned restaurants agreed to begin reusing them.

First came the Great Wall of China, said to be the only monument visible from space. Its certificate was handed over to Chinese officials by Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Next up was Petra, the stone-carved ancient city in Jordan, whose royal family led a campaign for it. Rio de Janeiro's Statue of Christ the Redeemer also made the cut after an appeal by Brazil's president for his compatriots to vote. There were two other winners from the Americas – Machu Picchu in Peru and Chichen Itza in Mexico – representatives of ancient civilisations unknown The ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru. to Antipater of Sidon, the Greek writer who drew up the original list of wonders two-thousand-two-hundred years ago. The last two wonders were Rome's Colosseum, described in its introduction as a symbol of joy and suffering, and the Taj Mahal. That was announced by Bollywood star Bipasha Basu who, along with Oscar-winning actors Ben Kingsley and Hilary Swank presented the ceremony. The Pyramids at Giza, the only wonder on the original list still standing, had been made an honorary candidate, guaranteed a mention. But Egyptian officials shunned the whole initiative anyway as too commercial. At the ceremony's close, its Swiss organiser, Bernard Weber, announced his next initiative – a global poll on the seven natural wonders of the world.

So when hackers busted in, they got the information to buy stuff in her name – and 1.4 million other people’s names. “It’s scary,” she says. “Part of it is the uncertainty that comes with it, not knowing whether sometime in the next year my credit-card number will be abused.” Now she must take steps to protect herself, including re-examining charges closely, requesting a credit report and contacting the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to put her complaint into its ID-theft database.

They 5 divided into four main language groups: the Tupi-Guarani, the Gê, the Carib and the Arawak. The Tu p i - G u a r a n i predominated along the Atlantic coast; the Gê peoples lived on the open central 10 plateau. Caribs and Arawaks, who were more advanced in technology, especially pottery making, lived in the Amazon basin. The most agressive were the Caribs, who were warlike and sometimes 15 practiced canibalism, as did the Tupi living on the seacoast. Most Brazilian Indians dwelled in temporary villages. (UNEMAT) III.

Módulos 15 e 16 – Text When hiccups won’t stop Imagine hiccups that don’t stop – for hours, even days. Then the nuisance turns into a nightmare. Though relatively uncommon, chronic intractable hiccups can be brought on by a variety of infections, injuries, and metabolic disorders. In some cases, doctors prescribe dozens of different remedies, from narcotics to anesthetics; yet the hiccups persist. Now neurologists have discovered that a drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure can relieve endless hiccuping when nothing else works. The drug, nifedipine, prevents calcium from entering muscle cells, where the mineral may act as a stimulant. One hiccup sufferer who found relief on nifedipine tried to stop taking it after one, three and six months. Each time, her hiccups returned.

Children as young as five years old are part of the global workforce. In factories and in fields, children work up to 15 hours a day, seven days a week. Matches, rugs, soccer balls, leather goods, paper cups, toys, shoes, fireworks – all of these products are made by tiny hands. Child labor is one of the worst forms of exploitation. Child workers are deprived of schooling, beaten and sexually abused, and crippled by work-related illnesses and injuries. Children are sold to employers who pay impoverished families for the use of their children, often to young adulthood. In Brazil, the Solidarity Center is working with unions, government organizations, businesses, and community groups to promote worker rights, racial equality, and social justice. The Solidarity Center is fighting child labor worldwide. Thanks to Solidarity Center programs, more kids are staying in schools.
