Fire at Antarctica station kills 2 Brazilian sailors

Two Brazilian sailors died and one was injured Saturday after a fire broke out at a naval research station in Antarctica,
authorities reported. The fire occurred at the Comandante Ferraz Station on King George Island, said Adm. Julio Soares de
Moura Neto, commander of the Brazilian Navy. The three sailors were trying to extinguish a fire that broke out in the
engine room of the facility. Brazilian military police are investigating the cause. The station is home to researchers who
conduct studies on the effects of climate change in Antarctica and its implications on the planet, according to the Ministry
of Science and Technology and Innovation. Researchers at the base also study marine life and the atmosphere.

“Hello”, said a quiet, musical voice.
I looked up, stunned that he was speaking to me. He was sitting as far away from me as the desk allowed, but his chair
was angled toward me. His hair was dripping wet – he looked like someone in a commercial for hair gel. His dazzling face
was friendly, open, a slight smile on his flawless lips. But his eyes were careful.
“My name is Edward Cullen,” he continued. “I didn‟t have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella
Swan.”
My mind was spinning with confusion. He was perfectly polite now. I had to speak; he was waiting. But I couldn‟t think of
anything conventional to say.
“H-how do you know my name?” I stammered.
He laughed a soft laugh.
“Oh, I think everyone knows your name. The whole town was waiting for you to arrive.”

What is a pub? The word pub is short for public house. Pubs are popular social meeting places. They are an important part
of British life. People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there. Many have a garden where people can sit in the
summer. One of the oldest pubs, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building that dates back to the
eleventh century. Groups of friends normally buy „rounds‟ of drinks, where the person whose turn it is will buy drinks for
all the members of the group. In most pubs in Britain, you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your
purchase immediately, there is no table service. Bartenders do not expect frequent tipping. To tip them, it is customary to
say: “Would you like a drink yourself?”

Facebook Song lyrics
I wouldn‟t call myself a social butterfly
And there‟s not much that separates me from the other guy
But when I log in I begin to live
There‟s an online world where I am king
Of a little website dedicated to me
With pictures of me and a list of my friends
And an unofficial record of the groups that I‟m in
Before the internet, friendship was so tough
You actually had to be in people‟s presence and stuff
Who would have thought that with a point and a click
I could know that Hope Floats is your favorite flick
Facebook
I‟m hooked on Facebook
I used to meet girls hanging out at the mall
Now I just wait for them to write on my wall
Oh! Link‟s status changed, it says he‟s playing the recorder...
How do you know this person?
Did you hook up with this person?
Do you need to request confirmation?
Or did you just think they looked cute...
From their picture on Facebook?
If the internet crashed all across the land
Or my Facebook account was deleted by the man
I‟d carry around a picture of my face
And a summary of me typed out on a page

President Obama Launches Gun-Violence Task Force
Five days after deadliest elementary school shooting in U.S. history, President Obama said his administration plans
immediate action early next year on proposals to curb an “epidemic of gun violence”. At a morning news conference,
Obama announced the formation of a task force to be headed by Vice President Joe Biden that will formulate a package of
policy recommendations by January. “The fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing
nothing”, Obama said. “The fact that we can‟t prevent every act of violence doesn‟t mean that we can‟t steadily reduce the
violence and prevent the very worst violence.” The president said he intends to push for implementation of the proposals
“without delay”. “This is a team that has a very specific task to pull together real reforms right now”, he said.
While Obama did not offer specifics, he suggested the task force would examine an array of steps to curb gun violence
and prevent mass shootings, including legislative measures, mental health resources and a “look more closely at a culture
that all-too-often glorifies guns and violence”. “I will use all the powers of this office to help advance efforts aimed at
preventing more tragedies like this”, Obama said.
Obama made similar pronouncements following at least four other mass shootings that marked his first term. But few
policy changes were made. “This is not the first incident of horrific gun violence of your four years. Where have you
been?”, asked ABC News‟ Jake Tapper. “I‟ve been president of the United States, dealing with the worst economic crisis
since the Great Depression, an auto industry on the verge of collapse, two wars. I don‟t think I‟ve been on vacation”,
Obama responded.

Welcome to Madrid: City of Protests

Madrid (CNN) – “The people, united, will never be divided!” yells the crowd, angrily waving banners and placards. “To
fight is the only way!” Dog-walkers, mothers with strollers, and pensioners carrying shopping bags join the crowd. These
people on the sidewalk are no curious neighbors. Indeed, many of them are complete strangers to the family living on the
fifth floor, but they are all here to protect Rocio from eviction - being forced to leave her property by legal process.
Rocio and her son, now 17 and in high school, moved from Ecuador in 2003, when times were good and jobs plentiful in
Spain. But then the global financial crisis hit, bringing Spain‟s economy down, Rocio lost her two jobs - in a shop, and as a
cleaner. For a while, Rocio got by on benefits, but then those stopped too. She is an example of the crisis many Spaniards
face as the country deals with the highest unemployment rate since the Civil War in the 1930s, and a recession entering
its second year. “I can‟t stand the thought of living on the streets with my son, but I have no idea where else to go”, she
says.
Rocio‟s story is echoed by others all over Spain. It is this fear that took many Spanish citizens to action. Many of those
people who are outside the door of Rocio‟s apartment block are supporters of “Stop Desahucios” (Stop Evictions), part of
the Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH – Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca), a group that campaigns to
prevent banks and authorities from eviction because of the country‟s economic crisis. They accuse the banks and
authorities of “real estate terrorism”.
There are also the mass marches of the 15-M movement - also known as the “Indignados”. Activist Dante Scherma, 24,
says citizens were not used to speaking out on political issues. “The 15-M movement made people talk about social issues,
and about politics in normal conversations - in cafés, restaurants, bars - where before they only talked about football or
fashion.”
Back in Vicalvaro, the moment of truth has arrived, but the crowd - now shouting at the police, insisting they have to stop
forcing families to leave their properties - appears to have had an impact. Lawyers from the PAH explain that Rocio will be
able to stay - for a while, at least. For those working to stop Spain‟s eviction epidemic, today has seen a small and
temporary victory. For those demonstrating about cuts, corruption and lack of cash, the protests will go on.

Empirically Based Leadership

A significant area of interest within the US Army empirical literature on leadership is emotional intelligence (EI), which in
recent years has been the focus of considerable attention in relationship to leadership efficacy. Emotional intelligence
involves an awareness of one‟s own emotions as well as the ability to control them, social awareness of others and their
emotions, and the capacity to understand and manage relationship and social networks.
In understanding others‟ emotions, an important contributing factor to the success of the more effective military officers is
their ability to empathize with their subordinates. In discussing empathy, FM (Field Manual) 6-22 defines it as “the ability
to see something from another person‟s point of view, to identify with and enter into another person‟s feelings and
emotions”. Empathy is not typically a quality that most soldiers would readily identify as an essential characteristic to
effective leadership or necessary to producing positive organizational outcomes, but it is an important quality for
competent leadership, especially as it relates to EI.

Military Officers Face a New Evaluation

Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is leading important changes following recent scandals
involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals and admirals. They will
include new courses to train the security detail, executive staffs and even the spouses of senior officers.
Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top officers needed to go
beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior officers alone. He said that he had decided the
changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer way”.
“You can have someone of incredible character who can‟t lead their way out of a forward operating base because they
don‟t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn‟t do me any good”, General
Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in the skills of the profession, but doesn‟t
live a life of character. And that doesn‟t do me any good.”
General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments to the kind of
“360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and superiors. For the new
training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions, “most officers need to be reminded of
the rules and regulations on a routine basis”.
Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their staffs. The inspections will not be
punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general officers to understand whether, from an institutional
perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In addition, new programs will be instituted to
ensure that a commander‟s staff, and a spouse, are fully aware of military regulations.
“In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You have to
earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General Dempsey said.

Japan WW2 Soldier Who Refused to Surrender Dies

A Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after World War Two ended and spent 29 years in the jungle has died aged
91 in Tokyo. Hiroo Onoda remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon, in the Philippines, until 1974 because he
did not believe that the war had ended. He was finally persuaded to emerge after his ageing former commanding officer
was flown in to see him. Onoda was greeted as a hero on his return to Japan.
The young soldier had orders not to surrender - a command he obeyed for nearly three decades. “I became an officer and
I received an order. If I could not carry it out, I would feel shame. I am very competitive”, he said. Three other soldiers
were with him at the end of the war. One emerged from the jungle in 1950 and the other two died.
Mr Onoda ignored several attempts to get him to surrender. He later said that he dismissed search parties sent to him,
and leaflets dropped by Japan, because there was always something suspicious, so he never believed that the war had
really ended. Though Onoda had been officially declared dead in December 1959, search parties were sent out in 1972,
when the last person from his group was killed by local police, but they did not find him. Onoda was now alone.
On February 20, 1974, a Japanese man, Norio Suzuki, found Onoda after four days of searching. They became friends, but
Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders from a superior officer. Suzuki returned to Japan
with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda‟s
commanding officer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi. He flew to Lubang where on March 9, 1974, he finally met with Onoda and
rescinded his original orders in person.
The Philippine government granted him a pardon, although many in Lubang never forgave him for killing 30 people during
his campaign on the island. The news media reported on this and other misgivings, but at the same time welcomed his
return home.

Brazil’s Rolezinhos – The Kids Are All Right

Shopping Metrô Itaquera, a gleaming mall amid the favelas (shantytowns) of eastern São Paulo, gained notoriety on
January 11th, when the police used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse a crowd of 3,000 youths. The youngsters were
participating in a rolezinho, a gathering of tens, hundreds, and sometimes thousands of youngsters which is convened via
social networks.
Mall owners and shopkeepers have reasons to be cautious. A few rolezinhos have led to muggings and robberies. But
most do not end in Itaquera-like chaos: the word‟s true meaning is closer to “little outing”. And theories that rolezeiros are
class warriors or favela dwellers tired of the country‟s veiled racism are not correct. “Their battle cry is not „Less
oppression!‟” says Renato Barreiros, who has directed a documentary about them. “It‟s „More Adidas!‟”
The point of a rolezinho is “to hang out, chill, buy nice things, meet people”, explains Vinicius Andrade, a 17-year-old from
Capão Redondo, a favela in western São Paulo. He has taken part in 18 big rolezinhos and helped organise a few, drawing
some of his 89,000 Facebook followers. His 15-year-old girlfriend, Yasmin Oliveira, a rolezeiro sweetheart with 94,000 fans
of her own on the social network, says that shopping centres make good meeting places because they are safe – an
important consideration in a crime-ridden city. There are few other public venues for kids, especially in poorer
neighbourhoods.
As well as air conditioning, shopping centres also confer something no open-air space can: status. Rolezeiros enjoy
walking around in a branded T-shirt and bermudas, with a pair of 400- reais ($170) shades perched on a baseball cap.
Vinicius confesses to spending 800-1,000 reais a month on clothes and accessories, most of what he makes as a helper at
a local Adventist church. Just 8% of Itaquera shoppers enjoy a monthly income in excess of 2,780 reais. Some rolezeiros
support their flashy lifestyle by reselling outmoded attire to poorer neighbours.
Shopkeepers in the local malls have mixed feelings about the gatherings. On the one hand, the youngsters make ideal
clients: they often pay cash and can spend 2,000-3,000 reais in one go. On the other, larger groups can scare away
customers.

26. (Estratégia Militares 2020 – EsPCEx – 2014) Another title for this article could be
(A) Youngsters in Brazil are anxious for political changes.
(B) Youngsters find a way to protest against social inequality.

The Phenomenon of Candy Crush: Why Is the Game So Popular?

In 2012, Candy Crush was released on Facebook and was later converted to smartphone format for people to play on the
go. In 2013, the game reached real prominence and became the most popular game on Facebook. It‟s no surprise then
that so many people play this game on their phones. Candy Crush Saga has changed the way many of us kill time on
commutes, or even in the toilet. I don‟t remember the last train journey I took where at least one person wasn‟t playing
Candy Crush on their phone. I‟m sure almost every reader of this article will have either been invited or invited others to
play Candy Crush via Facebook in an effort to get more lives or even levels.
Despite being incredibly similar to many games over the years, Candy Crush Saga has added new depth to the genre, with
seemingly unlimited combinations of new scenarios and concepts. So, this mixture of simplicity and variety is what makes
Candy Crush so unbelievably popular.
As a result, Candy Crush Saga shows no signs of slowing down. New levels are generally released via the Facebook
version every three weeks, with new levels also being made frequently available for the smartphone version. With 6.7
million active users, the developers are rumoured to be earning $633,000 per day from Candy Crush users.

“I didn‟t put it quite like that. But, if you insist, yes. What Vish does or doesn‟t do is a minor matter compared with the

Frequently Asked Questions – Instagram

What is Instagram?
It‟s an application for your mobile phone that enables you to edit pictures you have taken with your mobile phone camera
using built-in filters and share them with others. If you have an Instagram account you can tag pictures, rate and
comment on other people‟s pictures and follow other users.
How much is your app?

$0.00.
Where does the name come from?

When we were kids we loved playing around with cameras. We loved how different types of old cameras marketed
themselves as “instant” - something we take for granted today. We also felt that the snapshots people were taking were
like telegrams in that they got sent over the wire to others - so we figured why not combine the two?
How did the idea come about?

We love taking photos. We always assumed taking interesting photos required a big bulky camera and a couple years of
art school. But as mobile phone cameras got better and better, we decided to challenge that assumption. We created
Instagram to solve three simple problems:
 Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre. Our awesome looking filters transform your photos into
professional-looking snapshots.
 Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you take a picture once, then share it (instantly) on multiple
services.
 Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take forever - we‟ve optimized the experience to be fast and efficient.
How does privacy work?

We have adopted a follower model that means if you‟re “public” on Instagram, anyone can subscribe to follow your
photos. We do, however, have a special private option. In this mode, a user can make sure he/she must approve all follow
requests before they go through.
Who can see my photos?

All photos are public by default which means they are visible to anyone who has an account. If you choose to make your
account private, then only people who follow you on Instagram will be able to see your photos.

Children experience basic training and mock deployment

The 460th Force Support Squadron (FSS) hosted the 6th Annual Operation Future Forces (OFF) Sept. 13, 2014, at Camp
Rattlesnake. OFF allows children ages 8-18 to experience what military members endure from basic training to technical
school to a mock deployment, ending with a homecoming party.
“The youth mock deployment was developed to alleviate many of the stresses commonly experienced by young family
members when one or both parents are deployed,” said Thomas Cox, 460th FSS youth program chief. “Everything from
basic training, tech schools, camp activities and accomplishing their mission as a team made the event a one of a kind
opportunity for military kids.”
A few of the boys had their heads shaved before heading off to “Basic Military Training.” The training consisted of doing
push-ups and sit-ups, jumping through hula-hoops and running through an inflatable castle. They were also taught how to
stand at attention, salute and do an about-face.
After basic training, each child attended “technical school” and was taught a specific Air Force Specialty Code to help them
in their mock deployment. Some children were taught lifesaving self-aid and buddy care skills while others learned about
the importance of radio communications while on a deployment.
The tech-school graduates were then issued water pistols before heading out. During their deployment, the children
encountered hostile and non-hostile citizens, a water-balloon fight and injured allies who needed help along the way.
At the end of a long day, loved ones waited outside the youth center on base with homemade signs welcoming the
“troops” back home.
“This event was great,” said Senior Airman Jasmine Madison, 460th FSS Force Support Force Management technician. “It‟s
a way for kids to get a hands-on understanding of what their parents do when they are separated from them during
deployments.”

We’re so well educated – but we’re useless

Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated
generation in history, it seems that we‟ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.
Looking back on my first weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. I have survived a couple of
serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some
of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic skills I
missed out in my modern education.
Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents and
deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills. Today‟s
graduates may have earned themselves distinctions in history, law or economics, but when it comes to simple things like
putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from
a professional handyman or tailor.
Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don‟t grow our own crops, build our
own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these things. Unable to create anything ourselves, what
we have mastered instead is consumption.
Sociologist Saskia Sassen argues that the modern liberal state has created a middle class that isn‟t able to “make”
anymore. I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic
science” education. Instead of only maths, language and history, we should create an interactive learning environment in
schools where craftsmanship and problem-solving are valued as highly as the ability to absorb and regurgitate
information. We need to develop children into people that not only think for themselves, but are also able to act for
themselves.

Fire at Antarctica station kills 2 Brazilian sailors

Two Brazilian sailors died and one was injured Saturday after a fire broke out at a naval research station in Antarctica,
authorities reported. The fire occurred at the Comandante Ferraz Station on King George Island, said Adm. Julio Soares de
Moura Neto, commander of the Brazilian Navy. The three sailors were trying to extinguish a fire that broke out in the
engine room of the facility. Brazilian military police are investigating the cause. The station is home to researchers who
conduct studies on the effects of climate change in Antarctica and its implications on the planet, according to the Ministry
of Science and Technology and Innovation. Researchers at the base also study marine life and the atmosphere.

“Hello”, said a quiet, musical voice.
I looked up, stunned that he was speaking to me. He was sitting as far away from me as the desk allowed, but his chair
was angled toward me. His hair was dripping wet – he looked like someone in a commercial for hair gel. His dazzling face
was friendly, open, a slight smile on his flawless lips. But his eyes were careful.
“My name is Edward Cullen,” he continued. “I didn‟t have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella
Swan.”
My mind was spinning with confusion. He was perfectly polite now. I had to speak; he was waiting. But I couldn‟t think of
anything conventional to say.
“H-how do you know my name?” I stammered.
He laughed a soft laugh.
“Oh, I think everyone knows your name. The whole town was waiting for you to arrive.”

What is a pub? The word pub is short for public house. Pubs are popular social meeting places. They are an important part
of British life. People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there. Many have a garden where people can sit in the
summer. One of the oldest pubs, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building that dates back to the
eleventh century. Groups of friends normally buy „rounds‟ of drinks, where the person whose turn it is will buy drinks for
all the members of the group. In most pubs in Britain, you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your
purchase immediately, there is no table service. Bartenders do not expect frequent tipping. To tip them, it is customary to
say: “Would you like a drink yourself?”

não podemos dizer que as pessoas precisam dar gorjeta aos atendentes.
A alternativa D está incorreta. O texto diz que as pessoas vão aos pubs para encontrar com amigos, pois são populares
locais de reuniões sociais, mas o texto não diz que essa atividade se restringe ao período de inverno.
A alternativa E está incorreta. O texto diz que os atendentes do bar não esperam receber gorjetas o tempo todo.

Facebook Song lyrics
I wouldn‟t call myself a social butterfly
And there‟s not much that separates me from the other guy
But when I log in I begin to live
There‟s an online world where I am king
Of a little website dedicated to me
With pictures of me and a list of my friends
And an unofficial record of the groups that I‟m in
Before the internet, friendship was so tough
You actually had to be in people‟s presence and stuff
Who would have thought that with a point and a click
I could know that Hope Floats is your favorite flick
Facebook
I‟m hooked on Facebook
I used to meet girls hanging out at the mall
Now I just wait for them to write on my wall
Oh! Link‟s status changed, it says he‟s playing the recorder...
How do you know this person?
Did you hook up with this person?

President Obama Launches Gun-Violence Task Force
Five days after deadliest elementary school shooting in U.S. history, President Obama said his administration plans
immediate action early next year on proposals to curb an “epidemic of gun violence”. At a morning news conference,
Obama announced the formation of a task force to be headed by Vice President Joe Biden that will formulate a package of
policy recommendations by January. “The fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing
nothing”, Obama said. “The fact that we can‟t prevent every act of violence doesn‟t mean that we can‟t steadily reduce the
violence and prevent the very worst violence.” The president said he intends to push for implementation of the proposals
“without delay”. “This is a team that has a very specific task to pull together real reforms right now”, he said.
While Obama did not offer specifics, he suggested the task force would examine an array of steps to curb gun violence
and prevent mass shootings, including legislative measures, mental health resources and a “look more closely at a culture
that all-too-often glorifies guns and violence”. “I will use all the powers of this office to help advance efforts aimed at
preventing more tragedies like this”, Obama said.
Obama made similar pronouncements following at least four other mass shootings that marked his first term. But few
policy changes were made. “This is not the first incident of horrific gun violence of your four years. Where have you
been?”, asked ABC News‟ Jake Tapper. “I‟ve been president of the United States, dealing with the worst economic crisis
since the Great Depression, an auto industry on the verge of collapse, two wars. I don‟t think I‟ve been on vacation”,

minimizar o problema da violência armada. Portanto, podemos afirmar que ele está preocupado com o preblema da
violência armada, contrariamente ao que diz a alternativa.

Biden com a intenção de abordar esse problema da violência armada, exatamente como dito pela alternativa.
A alternativa E está incorreta. Não podemos dizer que ele resolveu agir depois de ter falado com o repórter, pois ele já

Welcome to Madrid: City of Protests

Madrid (CNN) – “The people, united, will never be divided!” yells the crowd, angrily waving banners and placards. “To
fight is the only way!” Dog-walkers, mothers with strollers, and pensioners carrying shopping bags join the crowd. These
people on the sidewalk are no curious neighbors. Indeed, many of them are complete strangers to the family living on the
fifth floor, but they are all here to protect Rocio from eviction - being forced to leave her property by legal process.
Rocio and her son, now 17 and in high school, moved from Ecuador in 2003, when times were good and jobs plentiful in
Spain. But then the global financial crisis hit, bringing Spain‟s economy down, Rocio lost her two jobs - in a shop, and as a
cleaner. For a while, Rocio got by on benefits, but then those stopped too. She is an example of the crisis many Spaniards
face as the country deals with the highest unemployment rate since the Civil War in the 1930s, and a recession entering
its second year. “I can‟t stand the thought of living on the streets with my son, but I have no idea where else to go”, she
says.
Rocio‟s story is echoed by others all over Spain. It is this fear that took many Spanish citizens to action. Many of those
people who are outside the door of Rocio‟s apartment block are supporters of “Stop Desahucios” (Stop Evictions), part of
the Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH – Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca), a group that campaigns to
prevent banks and authorities from eviction because of the country‟s economic crisis. They accuse the banks and
authorities of “real estate terrorism”.
There are also the mass marches of the 15-M movement - also known as the “Indignados”. Activist Dante Scherma, 24,
says citizens were not used to speaking out on political issues. “The 15-M movement made people talk about social issues,
and about politics in normal conversations - in cafés, restaurants, bars - where before they only talked about football or
fashion.”
Back in Vicalvaro, the moment of truth has arrived, but the crowd - now shouting at the police, insisting they have to stop
forcing families to leave their properties - appears to have had an impact. Lawyers from the PAH explain that Rocio will be
able to stay - for a while, at least. For those working to stop Spain‟s eviction epidemic, today has seen a small and
temporary victory. For those demonstrating about cuts, corruption and lack of cash, the protests will go on.

Comentário
A alternativa A está correta. O texto diz que Rocio se mudou para a Espanha em 2003, quando havia abundância de
empregos no país, exatamente como diz a alternativa.
A alternativa B está incorreta. O texto diz que está havendo uma epidemia de despejos no país por conta da crise
econômica. Portanto, não se pode dizer que Rocio foi a única pessoa afetada pela crise na Espanha.
A alternativa C está incorreta. O texto diz que ela recebeu benefícios do governo durante algum tempo, mas que esses
benefícios acabaram. Poranto, não podemos dizer que ela ainda recebe esses benefícios.
A alternativa D está incorreta. O texto não diz que ela tinha dois trabalhos no Equador, mas sim que ela tinha dois
trabalhos na Espanha antes da crise.
A alternativa E está incorreta. O texto diz que Rocio não possui emprego algum hoje em dia, muito menos o melhor dos
empregos.

Empirically Based Leadership

A significant area of interest within the US Army empirical literature on leadership is emotional intelligence (EI), which in
recent years has been the focus of considerable attention in relationship to leadership efficacy. Emotional intelligence
involves an awareness of one‟s own emotions as well as the ability to control them, social awareness of others and their
emotions, and the capacity to understand and manage relationship and social networks.
In understanding others‟ emotions, an important contributing factor to the success of the more effective military officers is
their ability to empathize with their subordinates. In discussing empathy, FM (Field Manual) 6-22 defines it as “the ability
to see something from another person‟s point of view, to identify with and enter into another person‟s feelings and
emotions”. Empathy is not typically a quality that most soldiers would readily identify as an essential characteristic to
effective leadership or necessary to producing positive organizational outcomes, but it is an important quality for
competent leadership, especially as it relates to EI.

Military Officers Face a New Evaluation

Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is leading important changes following recent scandals
involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals and admirals. They will
include new courses to train the security detail, executive staffs and even the spouses of senior officers.
Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top officers needed to go
beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior officers alone. He said that he had decided the
changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer way”.
“You can have someone of incredible character who can‟t lead their way out of a forward operating base because they
don‟t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn‟t do me any good”, General
Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in the skills of the profession, but doesn‟t
live a life of character. And that doesn‟t do me any good.”
General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments to the kind of
“360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and superiors. For the new
training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions, “most officers need to be reminded of
the rules and regulations on a routine basis”.
Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their staffs. The inspections will not be
punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general officers to understand whether, from an institutional
perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In addition, new programs will be instituted to
ensure that a commander‟s staff, and a spouse, are fully aware of military regulations.
“In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You have to
earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General Dempsey said.

Japan WW2 Soldier Who Refused to Surrender Dies

A Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after World War Two ended and spent 29 years in the jungle has died aged
91 in Tokyo. Hiroo Onoda remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon, in the Philippines, until 1974 because he
did not believe that the war had ended. He was finally persuaded to emerge after his ageing former commanding officer
was flown in to see him. Onoda was greeted as a hero on his return to Japan.
The young soldier had orders not to surrender - a command he obeyed for nearly three decades. “I became an officer and
I received an order. If I could not carry it out, I would feel shame. I am very competitive”, he said. Three other soldiers
were with him at the end of the war. One emerged from the jungle in 1950 and the other two died.
Mr Onoda ignored several attempts to get him to surrender. He later said that he dismissed search parties sent to him,
and leaflets dropped by Japan, because there was always something suspicious, so he never believed that the war had
really ended. Though Onoda had been officially declared dead in December 1959, search parties were sent out in 1972,
when the last person from his group was killed by local police, but they did not find him. Onoda was now alone.
On February 20, 1974, a Japanese man, Norio Suzuki, found Onoda after four days of searching. They became friends, but
Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders from a superior officer. Suzuki returned to Japan
with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda‟s
commanding officer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi. He flew to Lubang where on March 9, 1974, he finally met with Onoda and
rescinded his original orders in person.
The Philippine government granted him a pardon, although many in Lubang never forgave him for killing 30 people during
his campaign on the island. The news media reported on this and other misgivings, but at the same time welcomed his
return home.

Brazil’s Rolezinhos – The Kids Are All Right

Shopping Metrô Itaquera, a gleaming mall amid the favelas (shantytowns) of eastern São Paulo, gained notoriety on
January 11th, when the police used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse a crowd of 3,000 youths. The youngsters were
participating in a rolezinho, a gathering of tens, hundreds, and sometimes thousands of youngsters which is convened via
social networks.
Mall owners and shopkeepers have reasons to be cautious. A few rolezinhos have led to muggings and robberies. But
most do not end in Itaquera-like chaos: the word‟s true meaning is closer to “little outing”. And theories that rolezeiros are
class warriors or favela dwellers tired of the country‟s veiled racism are not correct. “Their battle cry is not „Less
oppression!‟” says Renato Barreiros, who has directed a documentary about them. “It‟s „More Adidas!‟”
The point of a rolezinho is “to hang out, chill, buy nice things, meet people”, explains Vinicius Andrade, a 17-year-old from
Capão Redondo, a favela in western São Paulo. He has taken part in 18 big rolezinhos and helped organise a few, drawing
some of his 89,000 Facebook followers. His 15-year-old girlfriend, Yasmin Oliveira, a rolezeiro sweetheart with 94,000 fans
of her own on the social network, says that shopping centres make good meeting places because they are safe – an
important consideration in a crime-ridden city. There are few other public venues for kids, especially in poorer
neighbourhoods.
As well as air conditioning, shopping centres also confer something no open-air space can: status. Rolezeiros enjoy
walking around in a branded T-shirt and bermudas, with a pair of 400- reais ($170) shades perched on a baseball cap.
Vinicius confesses to spending 800-1,000 reais a month on clothes and accessories, most of what he makes as a helper at
a local Adventist church. Just 8% of Itaquera shoppers enjoy a monthly income in excess of 2,780 reais. Some rolezeiros
support their flashy lifestyle by reselling outmoded attire to poorer neighbours.
Shopkeepers in the local malls have mixed feelings about the gatherings. On the one hand, the youngsters make ideal
clients: they often pay cash and can spend 2,000-3,000 reais in one go. On the other, larger groups can scare away
customers.
Adapted from http://www.economist.com
26. (Estratégia Militares 2020 – EsPCEx – 2014) Another title for this article could be
(A) Youngsters in Brazil are anxious for political changes.
(B) Youngsters find a way to protest against social inequality.
(C) Social networks are the first step into indiscipline and chaos.
(D) Shopkeepers see a strong need for legislation against rolezinhos.
(E) Youngsters in shopping malls want to get attention, not political changes.

A alternativa A está incorreta. O texto não fala absolutamente nada sobre política. Não faria, portanto, nenhum sentido
que esse fosse o título do texto.
A alternativa B está incorreta. O texto diz que não há protesto envolvido no “rolezinho”. Há apenas uma reunião de
adolescentes em um shopping com a intenção de se divertir e comprar roupas.
A alternativa C está incorreta. O texto diz que esses encontros são organizados nas redes sociais, mas não fala nada sobre
as redes sociais gerarem caos e indisciplina.
A alternativa D está incorreta. O texto não diz nada sobre lojistas quererem legislações contra os eventos. O texto apenas
relata que alguns lojistas gostam e outros não.
A alternativa E está correta. Essse seria uma bom título para o texto: jovens em shoppings querem chamar atenção não
promover mudanças políticas.

The Phenomenon of Candy Crush: Why Is the Game So Popular?

In 2012, Candy Crush was released on Facebook and was later converted to smartphone format for people to play on the
go. In 2013, the game reached real prominence and became the most popular game on Facebook. It‟s no surprise then
that so many people play this game on their phones. Candy Crush Saga has changed the way many of us kill time on
commutes, or even in the toilet. I don‟t remember the last train journey I took where at least one person wasn‟t playing
Candy Crush on their phone. I‟m sure almost every reader of this article will have either been invited or invited others to
play Candy Crush via Facebook in an effort to get more lives or even levels.
Despite being incredibly similar to many games over the years, Candy Crush Saga has added new depth to the genre, with
seemingly unlimited combinations of new scenarios and concepts. So, this mixture of simplicity and variety is what makes
Candy Crush so unbelievably popular.
As a result, Candy Crush Saga shows no signs of slowing down. New levels are generally released via the Facebook
version every three weeks, with new levels also being made frequently available for the smartphone version. With 6.7
million active users, the developers are rumoured to be earning $633,000 per day from Candy Crush users.

Chapter 1 - Madras 1986
“He knows too much. I must ask you to do nothing.”
“But this time I caught him in the act. I have proof, witnesses, everything. There is no possible doubt.”
“I said he knows too much! The company can‟t afford to have any problems. Our position is very sensitive in this country.
We can‟t afford to take risks. I am telling you once again – you will do nothing. And if there is any trouble, I‟m afraid I
shall have to hold you personally responsible. So be sensible for once in your life.”
“I see. So you are telling me to close my eyes to corruption and behave as if nothing has happened. Is that right?”
“I didn‟t put it quite like that. But, if you insist, yes. What Vish does or doesn‟t do is a minor matter compared with the
company‟s global strategy. Just try to get things in perspective. After all, you won‟t be stuck in Madras for ever – I‟ll make
sure that you are not. So just go with the flow for a bit longer. When you‟re in your next post this will all seem a very long
way away, I can assure you. But meantime, no trouble. I hope I‟ve made myself clear. Oh, and, by the way, I advise you
to forget that we have had this conversation. Goodbye.”

Frequently Asked Questions – Instagram
What is Instagram?
It‟s an application for your mobile phone that enables you to edit pictures you have taken with your mobile phone camera
using built-in filters and share them with others. If you have an Instagram account you can tag pictures, rate and
comment on other people‟s pictures and follow other users.
How much is your app?

$0.00.
Where does the name come from?

When we were kids we loved playing around with cameras. We loved how different types of old cameras marketed
themselves as “instant” - something we take for granted today. We also felt that the snapshots people were taking were
like telegrams in that they got sent over the wire to others - so we figured why not combine the two?
How did the idea come about?

We love taking photos. We always assumed taking interesting photos required a big bulky camera and a couple years of
art school. But as mobile phone cameras got better and better, we decided to challenge that assumption. We created
Instagram to solve three simple problems:
 Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre. Our awesome looking filters transform your photos into
professional-looking snapshots.
 Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you take a picture once, then share it (instantly) on multiple
services.
 Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take forever - we‟ve optimized the experience to be fast and efficient.
How does privacy work?

We have adopted a follower model that means if you‟re “public” on Instagram, anyone can subscribe to follow your
photos. We do, however, have a special private option. In this mode, a user can make sure he/she must approve all follow
requests before they go through.
Caderno 2 - EsPCEx
Inglês - 2020
Who can see my photos?

All photos are public by default which means they are visible to anyone who has an account. If you choose to make your
account private, then only people who follow you on Instagram will be able to see your photos.
Adapted from https://instagram.com/about/faq/#
alternative.
VII. The user is able to control who is going to be a follower.

Children experience basic training and mock deployment

The 460th Force Support Squadron (FSS) hosted the 6th Annual Operation Future Forces (OFF) Sept. 13, 2014, at Camp
Rattlesnake. OFF allows children ages 8-18 to experience what military members endure from basic training to technical
school to a mock deployment, ending with a homecoming party.
“The youth mock deployment was developed to alleviate many of the stresses commonly experienced by young family
members when one or both parents are deployed,” said Thomas Cox, 460th FSS youth program chief. “Everything from
basic training, tech schools, camp activities and accomplishing their mission as a team made the event a one of a kind
opportunity for military kids.”
A few of the boys had their heads shaved before heading off to “Basic Military Training.” The training consisted of doing
push-ups and sit-ups, jumping through hula-hoops and running through an inflatable castle. They were also taught how to
stand at attention, salute and do an about-face.
After basic training, each child attended “technical school” and was taught a specific Air Force Specialty Code to help them
in their mock deployment. Some children were taught lifesaving self-aid and buddy care skills while others learned about
the importance of radio communications while on a deployment.
The tech-school graduates were then issued water pistols before heading out. During their deployment, the children
encountered hostile and non-hostile citizens, a water-balloon fight and injured allies who needed help along the way.
At the end of a long day, loved ones waited outside the youth center on base with homemade signs welcoming the
“troops” back home.
“This event was great,” said Senior Airman Jasmine Madison, 460th FSS Force Support Force Management technician. “It‟s
a way for kids to get a hands-on understanding of what their parents do when they are separated from them during
deployments.”

We’re so well educated – but we’re useless
Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated
generation in history, it seems that we‟ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.
Looking back on my first weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. I have survived a couple of
serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some
of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic skills I
missed out in my modern education.
Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents and
deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills. Today‟s
graduates may have earned themselves distinctions in history, law or economics, but when it comes to simple things like
putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from
a professional handyman or tailor.
Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don‟t grow our own crops, build our
own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these things. Unable to create anything ourselves, what
we have mastered instead is consumption.
Sociologist Saskia Sassen argues that the modern liberal state has created a middle class that isn‟t able to “make”
anymore. I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic
science” education. Instead of only maths, language and history, we should create an interactive learning environment in
schools where craftsmanship and problem-solving are valued as highly as the ability to absorb and regurgitate
information. We need to develop children into people that not only think for themselves, but are also able to act for
themselves.
