ABORTION BECOMES ISSUE IN BRAZIL'S PRESIDENTIAL RUNOFF
As Brazil's charismatic President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva makes a triumphant exit, having fostered a fast-growing economy that lifted millions out of poverty and pleased financial markets, his country seems more than ever to embody the word "progress" that is emblazoned across its national flag. But as the Oct. 31 run-off election to choose his successor approaches, the focus is shifting to one aspect of Brazilian society where many say there has been little progress: Abortion is still illegal, despite one in five Brazilian women undergoing the procedure in their lifetimes.
With religious-right votes up for grabs in the upcoming poll, the two remaining candidates and the leading party are backing down from earlier abortion-rights endorsements, leading abortion-rights advocates to say that votes are being traded for women's health. Two-thirds of Brazil's 191 million people are Roman Catholics, making it the world's largest Catholic nation. But the number of those professing evangelical beliefs, some 17 percent of the population, is growing fast.
The frenzy to collect more of those votes is causing Lula's left-wing Workers Party to mull whether to back off its commitment to see abortion rights debated in Congress, and the party's candidate, Dilma Rousseff, heavily favored to win, is distancing herself from abortion-rights comments she made before becoming a candidate.
"It will be really ugly if the Workers Party pulls abortion rights from its agenda," said Regina Soares, a spokeswoman for the abortion-rights group Catholics for the Right to Decide. "[Abortion] is a problem of a huge size, which has same importance as unemployment and homelessness," she said. Abortion is illegal in Brazil except in the case of rape or if the mother's life is in danger. Yet one in five Brazilian women under age 40 has had an abortion, the vast majority illegally. Half of those women end up in the hospital as the result of complications, said Marcelo Medeiros, an economist and sociologist who coordinated a 2009 government-funded abortion study. The abortion question shifted to the fore after Sunday's first-round presidential elections, in which Rousseff was expected to sail easily past the 50 percent mark that would have made a second round unnecessary. But she received 46.8 percent, forcing a runoff with centrist challenger Jose Serra at the end of the month. Support for the 62-year- old former guerrilla, Lula's chosen successor, eroded in part because the religious right aired ads portraying Rousseff as pro-abortion-rights, observers said. To shore up votes, the Workers Party is considering whether to yank its promise to see abortion rights debated in Congress. In his more recent position as Brazil's health minister, Serra, along with the Workers Party, has advocated for a debate on abortion in Congress in the name of public health. But during his campaign, Serra declared himself anti-abortion. Observers are split on whether the issue could prevent a Rousseff win. Alberto Almeida, director of market research group Instituto Analise, said voters don't see the difference between the abortion stances of Serra and Rousseff. "Abortion won't have a big role in the election because nobody has a clear position on abortion," Almeida said. But a Workers Party senator from Parana state said some of her party members could end up promoting legalized abortion, a position that could "cost the presidency," said Gleisi Hoffman, according to a Folha report. "While most Brazilians support abortion in special cases, the rest is "a gray area," Medeiros said.

FOR CATS, A BIG GULP WITH A TOUCH OF THE TONGUE
It has taken four highly qualified engineers and a bunch of integral equations to figure it out, but we now know how cats drink. The answer is: very elegantly, and not at all the way you might suppose. Cats lap water so fast that the human eye cannot follow what is happening, which is why the trick had apparently escaped attention until now. With the use of high-speed photography, the neatness of the feline solution has been captured. The act of drinking may seem like no big deal for anyone who can fully close his mouth to create suction, as people can. But the various species that cannot do so - and that includes most adult carnivores - must resort to some other mechanism. Dog owners are familiar with the unseemly lapping noises that ensue when their thirsty pet meets a bowl of water. The dog is thrusting its tongue into the water, forming a crude cup with it and hauling the liquid back into the muzzle.
Cats, both big and little, are so much classier, according to new research by Pedro M. Reis and Roman Stocker of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, joined by Sunghwan Jung of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Jeffrey M. Aristoff of Princeton. Writing in the Thursday issue of Science, the four engineers report that the cat’s lapping method depends on its instinctive ability to calculate the balance between opposing gravitational and inertial forces. What happens is that the cat darts its tongue, curving the upper side downward so that the tip lightly touches the surface of the water.
The tongue is then pulled upward at high speed, drawing a column of water behind it. Just at the moment that gravity finally overcomes the rush of the water and starts to pull the column down - snap! The cat’s jaws have closed over the jet of water and swallowed it. The cat laps four times a second - too fast for the human eye to see anything but a blur - and its tongue moves at a speed of one meter per second. Being engineers, the cat-lapping team next tested its findings with a machine that mimicked a cat’s tongue, using a glass disk at the end of a piston to serve as the tip. After calculating things like the Froude number and the aspect ratio, they were able to figure out how fast a cat should lap to get the greatest amount of water into its mouth. The cats, it turns out, were way ahead of them - they lap at just that speed. To the scientific mind, the next obvious question is whether bigger cats should lap at different speeds.

“Machado de Assis com sotaque carioca? ‘Brás Cubas’ ganha um novo viral.”
Mais de cem anos após sua primeira publicação, o livro Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas voltou a ser assunto no Brasil. Com o sucesso de um TikTok, em que uma leitora americana se encantava pela obra de Machado de Assis, mais discussões sobre o livro e o autor vieram à tona – e uma nova brincadeira tomou conta das redes sociais.
Como relembrado por internautas, Machado de Assis nasceu e viveu no Rio de Janeiro. Com isso, muitos retomaram uma discussão que surgiu em 2021: qual era o sotaque do escritor? “Ele provavelmente falava ‘Memóriax Poxtumax de Braix Cubax’”, brincou um usuário do X (antigo Twitter).
Conhecida por seu sotaque carregado, a influenciadora Baueny Barroco entrou na brincadeira e releu o primeiro trecho de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas em “carioquês”. O áudio rapidamente viralizou e, no último sábado, 25, até a apresentadora Maria Beltrão entrou na brincadeira.

Eating Disorders a New Front in Insurance Fight
By ANDREW POLLACK
Published: October 13, 2011
People with eating disorders like anorexia have
opened up a new battleground in the insurance wars,
testing the boundaries of laws mandating equivalent
coverage for mental illnesses.
Through claims and court cases, those with severe
cases of anorexia or bulimia are fighting insurers to pay
for stays in residential treatment centers, arguing that the
centers offer around-the-clock monitoring so that patients
do not forgo eating or purge their meals.
But in the last few years, some insurance
companies have re-emphasized that they do not cover
residential treatment for eating disorders or other mental
or emotional conditions. The insurers consider residential
treatments not only costly — sometimes reaching more
than $1,000 a day — but unproven and more akin to
education than to medicine. Even some doctors who treat
eating disorders concede there are few studies proving
that residential care is effective, although they believe it
has value.

What is the meaning of the verb underlined in

Texto A
''A África propriamente dita é a parte característica
deste continente. Começamos pela consideração deste
continente, porque em seguida podemos deixá-lo de lado,
por assim dizer. Não tem interesse histórico próprio,
senão o de que os homens vivem ali na barbárie e na
selvageria, sem fornecer nenhum elemento à civilização.
Por mais que retrocedamos na história, acharemos que a
África está sempre fechada no contato com o resto do
mundo, é um eldorado recolhido em si mesmo, é o país
criança, envolvido na escuridão da noite, aquém da luz da
história consciente. [...] Nesta parte principal da África,
não pode haver história''.
Texto B
“Encontramos, [...], aqui o homem em seu estado
bruto. Tal é o homem na África. Porquanto o homem
aparece como homem, põe-se em oposição à natureza;
assim é como se faz homem. Mas, porquanto se limita a
diferenciar-se da natureza, encontra-se no primeiro
estágio, dominado pela paixão, pelo orgulho e a pobreza;
é um homem estúpido. No estado de selvageria achamos
o africano, enquanto podemos observá-lo e assim tem
permanecido. O negro representa o homem natural em
toda a sua barbárie e violência; para compreendê-lo
devemos esquecer todas as representações europeias.
Devemos esquecer Deus e a lei moral. Para compreendê-lo exatamente, devemos abstrair de todo respeito e
moralidade, de todo o sentimento. Tudo isso está no
homem em seu estado bruto, em cujo caráter nada se
encontra que pareça humano''.

O peso sobre a Geração Sanduíche, que cuida ao mesmo tempo de pais idosos, filhos e netos
Faz dez anos que a paranaense Lady Daiane de Vargas Flores cuida em tempo integral da mãe, que sofre de
demência. Dona Maria Joana tem 68 anos e já não fala, não anda nem se alimenta sozinha.
“Ela virou um bebê total”, explica Daiane, 39 anos, à BBC News Brasil [...]. “Quando você vai ganhar um bebê,
quer que a sua mãe esteja ao seu lado. Mas, comigo, o que aconteceu é que virei órfã de mãe e passei a ter
uma filha a mais.”
[...]
Nos Estados Unidos, por exemplo, uma pesquisa do centro Pew estimou que quase um em cada quatro
adultos americanos potencialmente se encaixa nessa definição [...]. Dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostras
de Domicílio Contínua (Pnad Contínua) do IBGE em 2019 apontam que 54,1 milhões de brasileiros com 14
anos ou mais cuidavam de outros moradores da sua casa ou de outros parentes, mas não se sabe ao certo
quantos cuidam de duas gerações ao mesmo tempo [...]. Há uma combinação de motivos por trás desse
fenômeno global: como as pessoas estão tendo filhos mais tarde, e seus pais estão vivendo mais, muitas se
veem lidando com os cuidados das duas gerações. Ao mesmo tempo, as famílias ficaram menores — e há
menos pessoas com as quais dividir essas tarefas.
