TEXTO:

“The cultural wealth of the world
is its diversity in dialogue”

The UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity was adopted unanimously in a most unusual context. It came in the wake of the events of 11September 2001, at the UNESCO General Conference, which was the meeting for its 31st session, was the first ministerial-level meeting to be held after those terrible events. It was an opportunity for States to reaffirm their conviction that intercultural dialogue is the best guarantee of peace and to reject outright the theory of the inevitable clash of cultures and civilizations. Such a wideranging instrument is a first for the international community. It raises cultural diversity to the level of “the common heritage of humanity”,“as necessary for humankind as biodiversity is for nature” and makes its defence an ethical imperative indissociable from respect for the dignity of the individual. The Declaration aims both to preserve cultural diversity as a living, and thus renewable treasure that must not be perceived as being unchanging heritage but as a process guaranteeing the survival of humanity; and to prevent segregation and fundamentalism which, in the name of cultural differences, would sanctify those differences and so counter the message of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Universal Declaration makes it clear that each individual must acknowledge not only otherness in all its forms but also the plurality of his or her own identity, within societies that are themselves plural. Only in this way can cultural diversity be preserved as an adaptive process and as a capacity for expression, creation and innovation. The debate between those countries which would like to defend cultural goods and services “which, as vectors of identity, values and meaning, must not be treated as mere commodities or consumer goods”, and those which would hope to promote cultural rights has thus been surpassed, with the two approaches brought together by the Declaration, which has highlighted the causal link uniting two complementary attitudes. One cannot exist without the other.The Declaration, accompanied by the main lines of an action plan, can be an outstanding tool for development, capable of humanizing globalization. Of course, it lays down not instructions but general guidelines to be turned into groundbreaking policies by Member States in their specific contexts, in partnership with the private sector and civil society. This Declaration, which sets against inward-looking fundamentalism, is the prospect of a more open, creative and democratic world, and also, now, one of the founding texts of the new ethics promoted by UNESCO in the early twenty-first century. My hope is that one day it may acquire the same force as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

4 were used in battles as well. Messages attached to 5 kites were flown over enemy lines until they reached 6 their aliens, and then the lines were cut, and the kites 7 and the messages fell to the soldiers below. Kites with 8 hooks and bait were used for fishing. Kites were even 9 fitted with whistles to make musical sounds while 10 flying.
11 Listed below are simple directions for making a kite. 12 While a kite made in this way may fly, it will not be very 13 durable. The purpose is to make a very colorful kite 14 that might be similar to one made by the ancient 15 Chinese. Directions for more durable and more 16 sophisticated kites can be found in craft books.

17 Materials:
18 • Large sheet of construction paper
19 • String
20 • Paint
21 • Tissue or crepe paper

22 Directions:

23 Fold the construction paper in half; Cut out the shape 24 of your kite. You might choose the shape of a butterfly, 25 bird, or dragon; Color your kite with watercolors or 26 finger paint; When dry, tie the string to one end and 27 attach tissue paper scraps to make a tail.

TEXTO:

Advertisements starring … you
Popular sites are trying to cash in on users’ connections

1 Your friends may be the most effective pitchmen. In 2 the latest sign that technology firms are increasingly 3 deploying users’ data to boost ads, Google announced 4 that it was changing its terms of service to allow the 5 company to combine users’ posts, reviews and profile 6 photos in advertisements. Here’s how it works: a user 7 searching Google for, say, a date-night restaurant might 8 see text ads promoting a local eatery — along with a 9 friend’s face and review on the firm’s social network, 10 Google+. A whopping 87% of the search giant’s $50 billion 11 in annual revenue comes from advertising, and Google is 12 betting this information will make ads clickier.
13 Rival Facebook has already found that pitching 14 products with a friend’s endorsement — a Like or positive 15 post – makes for more powerful ads, which accounted 16 for most of the social network’s $5 billion in revenue last 17 year. Research firm eMarketer estimates that the 18 so-called social-ad business will be worth $9.5 billion in 19 U.S. sales this year. But it can be a risky business. In 20 August, a judge approved Facebook’s settlement of a 21 class-action suit over employing users in ads, and the 22 company agreed to give them control over when they’re 23 recruited to promote a product. “They’re still walking a 24 tightrope,” explains consultant Jake Wengroff of firms 25 trying such ads. The practice, he says, can alienate users 26 and open companies to privacy suits. Still, given the 27 potential profits in better ads, analysts say it might be a 28 risk worth taking. Here’s a look at what companies are 29 trying.
30 TWITTER
31 Brands can pay to have users’ tweets amplified across 32 the site — with permission. Retweets essentially become 33 easy marketing.
34 GOOGLE
35 Google’s new ads won’t show up only in search; they 36 could also one day appear across services such as 37 e-mail and maps. Users can opt out.
38 INSTAGRAM
39 Facebook’s photo-sharing site says it plans to launch 40 ads in the next few months. It backtracked last year on 41 a policy that would have given advertisers access to users’ 42 photos.
43 FACEBOOK
44 Users’ Likes and photos can appear in ads targeted to 45 their friends. Users can opt out.
45 PINTEREST
46 The content-sharing site hasn’t said whether it will 47 incorporate users’ connections into the ads it recently 48 rolled out.

(UFPB/1997)

TEXTO:

Brazilian cooking is exuberant and varied, reflecting the history and geography of this big country. In the northeast, there is an exciting mixture of the food of the Guarani Indians, the colonizing Portuguese and African slaves. The “Moqueca de Camarão”, for example, shows the influences of the local indians and of the Africans who were brought in by the Portuguese to work on the sugar plantations. The easiest method of cooking this dish is described below:
Press the garlic with the salt and add to the shrimp. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion, tomatoes, coriander, pepper, and lemon juice and cook for 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk and cook again for 5 minutes. Serve with rice.

TEXTO:

IF NOT MANAGED RIGOROUSLY, E-MAIL CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE. Here’s how to show your e-mail who’s boss: Put your inbox on hold. Most people open their e-mail as soon as they arrive at work. This is a mistake as you may lose track of time. Instead, start your day by reviewing your calendar and noting the three to five most important things you need to get done.
Avoid clutter. Be ruthless about getting e-mails out of your inbox. Set up folders to keep your messages organized. Set a deadline for yourself to answer them.
Make time for cleanup. Each week, set aside two hours to go through your e-mail and delete as many messages as you can.
Try a new service. If you’ re not up to this level of organization enlist Google’s service .With this you “archive” rather than delete and searching old e-mails can be easy.
