Satellite data shows slight increase in Amazon deforestation over June last year
August 03, 2011
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon rose 17 percent in June compared to the
same period a year earlier, reports Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE).
Using its rapid deforestation detection system INPE found 312.7 square kilometers
were cleared in June. Nearly 40 percent of deforestation occurred in the state of Pará.
The states of Mato Grosso (26 percent), Rondonia (21 percent), and Amazonas (13
percent) also saw significant forest loss.
Entering the peak deforestation months – July through September/October –
deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon in 2011 is so far outpacing last year’s rate, which
was the lowest since annual record-keeping began in the late 1980s.
Most observers expected to see an increase in deforestation this year due to higher
commodity prices and anticipation of changes to Brazil’s Forest Code, which requires
private landowners to maintain forest cover on the majority of their holdings. Another
contributing factor is continuing dry conditions across much of the Amazon basin, which
increase the risk of fires spreading from agricultural areas into forest zones.

NASA Discovers New ‘Tatooine’ Planet With Two Suns
By Chloe Albanesius
September 16, 2011 12:55pm EST
First we get the Back to the Future sneakers and now Tatooine? It’s a big week for
sci-fi movie buffs, as NASA on Thursday revealed that its Kepler mission had uncovered
evidence of a circumbinary planet, or a planet that orbits two stars.
As Star Wars fans will know, and as PCMag analyst Tony Hoffman pointed out this
week, the discovery is reminiscent of Tatooine, the planet on which Luke Skywalker grew
up, which circled a double star, or two suns that appeared close together in the sky.
But before you pack up your things in hopes of living the life of a Jedi, NASA said
the planet it has discovered is cold, gaseous, and not thought to contain life. It’s about
the size of Saturn and scientists think it’s made up of half rock and half gas. Of the two
stars, meanwhile, one is 69 percent the mass of our sun while the other is 20 percent.
But discovery of this system, dubbed Kepler-16, is significant because we’ve never
before had actual proof of circumbinary planets.
“This discovery confirms a new class of planetary systems that could harbor life,”
Kepler principal investigator William Borucki said in a statement. “Given that most stars
in our galaxy are part of a binary system, this means the opportunities for life are much
broader than if planets form only around single stars. This milestone discovery confirms
a theory that scientists have had for decades but could not prove until now.”
The planet, known as Kepler-16b, orbits around both stars every 229 days, similar
to Venus’ 225-day orbit.
But NASA said it exists beyond a zone where liquid water could exist on the surface,
because the stars are cooler than our sun.
The research team was led by Laurance Doyle of the SETI Institute, (which
was featured in the movie Contact and recently revived its alien research thanks to
donations). The SETI team used data from the Kepler space telescope, which measures
dips in brightness for more than 15,000 stars in the hopes of finding transiting planets.
“When the smaller star partially blocks the larger star, a primary eclipse occurs, and a
secondary eclipse occurs when the smaller star is occulted, or completely blocked, by the
larger star,” NASA said. “Astronomers further observed that the brightness of the system
dipped even when the stars were not eclipsing one another, hinting at a third body.”
John Knoll, the visual effects supervisor for Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), the company
founded by George Lucas that produced the special effects for the Star Wars movies, was in
attendance at Thursday’s announcement. “Working in film, we often are tasked with creating
something never before seen. However, more often than not, scientific discoveries prove
to be more spectacular than anything we dare imagine,” he said in a statement. “There is
no doubt these discoveries influence and inspire storytellers. Their very existence serves as
cause to dream bigger and open our minds to new possibilities beyond what we think
we ‘know.’”

HOW TO FEED A GROWING WORLD?
Brazil might have a solution
By 2050, the world’s population will hit 9 billion – so how will we feed everyone?
The answer, according to a recent article in The Economist, is that we will have to
become more like Brazil. In “The Miracle of the Cerrado”, the publication examines the
giant farms that have transformed Brazilian agriculture over the last 30 years, and how
other countries might be able to learn from them to become more productive.
In less than 30 years Brazil has turned itself from a food importer into one of the
world’s great breadbaskets. It is the first country to have caught up with the traditional
“big five” grain exporters (America, Canada, Australia, Argentina and the European
Union). It is also the first tropical food-giant, the big five are all temperate producers.
(from http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2010/08/how-to-feed-a-growing-world-brazil-might-have-asolution/62221/)
22. The text predicts that in the future the world’s population will be
a)
smaller;
b)
shorter;
c) younger;
d) larger;
e)
taller.
23. According to the article mentioned in the text, other countries should
a)
provide less food to the population;
b)
import more food from America;
c) follow the Brazilian example;
d) bake different kinds of bread;
e)
invest less in agricultural farms.
24. In the first sentence, the question “how will we feed everyone?” refers to the problem of
a)
nutrition;
b)
heating;
c) clothing;
d) housing;
e)

William’s words – Confessions of a Latin teacher (part 2)
By Justin Ratcliffe
The UK government has ignored demands to offer Latin in all schools. But the
ancient world still holds our imaginations, from law and politics through to films like
Clash of Titans and Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.
Politically, Roman laws passed through two houses. The UK copied this arrangement.
The US went further, placing the Senate and House of Representatives on Capitol Hill.
Money stamped with our leader’s faces is inspired by Roman coins. The Romans gave
us public and civil law, trial by jury and the principle “innocent till proven guilty”. Today’s
politicians are still influenced by Cicero’s oratory. We take rhetorical devices from classical:
simile and metaphor, synecdoche and metonymy. Although we may prefer films to poetry,
we use their literary genres: tragedy and comedy, epic and satire.
Ever since Freud, psychology has used classical words and concepts. We are
aware of our ego, id and superego. We recognise narcissism, mania and the Oedipus
complex. Philosophy is built upon Plato and Aristotle, giving us arguments a priori and a
posteriori, syllogism and reduction ad absurdum. Everybody knows Descartes’ phrase:
“Cogito ergo sum”.
Science is full of Latin from geometry’s humble oval to paleontology’s mighty
Tirannosaurus rex. In meteorology, we have cumulo-nimbus clouds; in physics, the
quantum. We named the planets after Roman gods. Neighbours Venus and Mars reflect
the mythical entanglement of love and war. [...]
In sport, Romans took Greek pursuits and turned them into big business, with
stadiums and gambling. Watch today’s racing, horses or Formula One, and you can’t
help thinking of chariot racing in the Circus Maximus. The celebrities and hysteria in
boxing, wrestling, rugby and football recall Rome’s gladiators. [...]
Oxford classics professors recently urged the British government to give Latin the
same status in schools as modern languages. The Department for Education replied:
“Latin is an important subject, valuable for learning of modern languages and a useful
basis for many disciplines. It is, however, not classified in curriculum as modern language
as pupils cannot interact with native Latin speakers or visit parts of the world where
Latin is spoken as native language”. A diplomatic response!
Speak up. São Paulo: Editora Rickdan, n. 285, ano XXIII, maio de 2011, p. 40-41 (Adapted).
17. According to the text, mark the CORRECT answer:
a)
In a diplomatic way, the British government accepted the proposal of the Oxford classics
professors of offering Latin in every school in the United Kingdom.
b)
he influences of the Roman Empire in modern western societies are found in many fields,
T
such as science, politics, entertainment, languages, sports, law, etc.
c) T
he teaching of Latin in the UK schools will improve the interaction between the British and
the native Latin speakers.
d) The idea of the Oedipus complex is a Latin heritage that belongs only to the philosophical area.
e)
Nowadays the literary genres are only related to oratory ability.

Our Conquering Swords
Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)
1. Our conquering swords shall marshall us the way
2. We use to march upon the slaughter’d foe,
3. Trampling their bowels with our horses’ hoofs,
4. Brave horses bred on the white Tartarian hills.
5. My camp is like to Julius Caesar’s host,
6. That never fought but had the victory;
7. Nor in Pharsalia was there such hot war
8. As these, my followers, willingly would have.
9. Legions of spirits, fleeting in the air,
10. Direct our bullets and our weapons’ points,
11. And make your strokes to wound the senseless light;
12. And when she sees our bloody colours spread,
13. Then Victory begins to take her flight,
14. Resting herself upon my milk-white tent–
15. But come, my lords, to weapons let us fall;
16. The field is ours, the Turk, his wife, and all.

Hi Adriana,
How are things back in Rome? Are you glad to be home again? Sorry I haven’t
written lately. I’ve been a bit depressed. My grades aren’t as good as they used to be.
Classes didn’t use to be so difficult!
I have to say, I miss you. You used to be such a good influence on me! These days,
I oversleep. I often miss my classes! That never used to happen because I knew I had
to meet you at the café in the morning. I remember how you would complain about the
coffee here in Canada. You used to call it “brown water”!
I’m spending too much money too. Every time I go to the mall, I see something I
want to buy. That’s another reason I miss you! I would see some great jacket, but you
wouldn’t let me buy it. You would always tell me I didn’t need it and drag me away!
Also, I have a noisy new roommate, Cindy. All she ever does is gab on her cell!
Remember the way we would sit around talking? You always used to make me laugh. I
bet that’s a big reason I never used to feel stressed like I do now!
Anyway, exams will be over on Friday, so I’m sure I’ll feel better then.
Write soon!

No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it’s the true
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I’ve finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There’s no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other’s hand
‘Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
I’ve had the time of my life (…)”

The Elite Squad 2
The Elite Squad 2 (Portuguese: Tropa de Elite 2) is a 2010 Brazilian film directed
and produced by José Padilha, starring Wagner Moura. It is a sequel to the 2007 film The
Elite Squad. The film is a continuation of the semi-fictional account BOPE (Portuguese:
Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais), the Special Police Operations Battalion of
the Rio de Janeiro Military Police. The film was released in Brazil on October 8, 2010.
Reception
Elite Squad 2 had mostly positive reviews so far. In a review for G1, Luciano Trigo affirmed
that the movie is a “blow to the spectator” and that it has “a script much more ambitious than
the first one”. According to Trigo, director José Padilha was able to avoid the “traps” in the
sequel, such as “repeating the how-to from the first movie, or ceasing to pressure from those
who called the first movie ‘fascist’ and went ‘even deeper on the realism and toughness of
the social scenario in Rio de Janeiro, stained by the violence and corruption in all its forms’”.
On UOL, Alessandro Giannini praised Wagner Moura portrayal of Nascimento and affirmed
that this movie is more “consistent and cohesive” than the first one and that “there is no
room for doubts or ambiguities”. Carla Navarrete wrote on Yahoo! that “the plot is much
more complex, as Padilha direction is more firm. Wagner Moura is as sharp as ever with his
character. Aged, his Nascimento brings a chilling dramatic background”. Marcelo Forlani,
from the website Omelete, gave the movie four “eggs”, out of five, citing that “Squad 2”, as
the first, “is still violent, still polemic, still punching at the same button” and that “the comic
relief moments work so well because the rest of the movie is packed with action and tension”.
On MSN, Karen Lemos wrote that the movie “re-writes the concepts brought with the first
movie: instead of crooks, the police; and instead of the law, the corruption”. Journalist André
Forastieri, writing on his blog for the R7 news portal, said he was disappointed with the final
result: “Of course that a movie is not an academic thesis (…). The actors are good. Wagner
Moura shines. The dialogues sparkle. But the most powerful moments are softened by the
never-ending argument, producing the overall feeling of impotence. As almost all sequels,
this one doesn’t keep from diminishing the first movies value”.
