muito tempo sem postagem estou voltando com força total. Comecei aqui quando a
internet era só mato e poucas pessoas se aventuravam aqui no Brasil, mas o Blog
fazia sucesso. Hoje em dia (07/10/2022) por causa desta polarização política (esquerda
e direita) pessoas se dizendo de um lado ou de outro, podemos dizer que não há direita,
esquerda, para cima ou para baixo. Devemos dizer sim que há dois partidos e
suas respectivas coligações mas os dois partidos (partido liberal e o partido
dos trabalhadores) são todos democráticos, um mais nacionalista e o outro mais socialista,
ambos populistas e assim essa deturpação do que é esquerda e direita começou

Also called beetroot red, betanin is the most common pigment in beetroots, responsible for their strong red color. It is believed to have various health benefits (9Trusted Source).</p><p>Inorganic nitrate. Found in generous amounts in leafy green vegetables, beetroots, and beetroot juice, inorganic nitrate turns into nitric oxide in your body and has many important functions (10Trusted Source, 11, 12).</p><p>Vulgaxanthin. A yellow or orange pigment found in beetroots and yellow beets.</p><p>Inorganic Nitrates</p><p>Inorganic nitrates include nitrates, nitrites, and nitric oxide.</p><p><br /></p><p>Beetroots and beetroot juice are exceptionally high in nitrates.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, debate has swirled around these substances for a long time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people believe that they’re harmful and cause cancer, while others believe the risk is mostly associated with nitrites in processed meat (13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Most dietary nitrate (80–95%) comes from fruits and vegetables. On the other hand, dietary nitrite comes from food additives, baked goods, cereals, and processed or cured meats (10Trusted Source, 15Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Research shows that diets rich in nitrites and nitrates can have positive health effects, including lower blood pressure levels and decreased risk of many diseases (13Trusted Source, 16Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Your body can convert dietary nitrates — such as those from beetroots — into nitric oxide (12).</p><p><br /></p><p>This substance travels through your artery walls, sending signals to the tiny muscle cells around your arteries and telling them to relax (17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>When these muscle cells relax, your blood vessels dilate and blood pressure goes down (19Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>SUMMARY</p><p>Beetroots are high in several beneficial plant compounds, especially betanin (beetroot red), vulgaxanthin, and inorganic nitrates.

They’re known for their earthy flavor and aroma.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to bringing a pop of color to your plate, beets are highly nutritious and packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds, many of which have medicinal properties.</p><p><br /></p><p>What’s more, they’re delicious and easy to add to your diet in dishes like balsamic roasted beets, hummus, fries, and salads, among many others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are 9 evidence-based benefits of beets, plus some tasty ways to increase your intake.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Many nutrients and few calories</p><p>Beets boast an impressive nutritional profile.</p><p><br /></p><p>They’re low in calories yet high in valuable vitamins and minerals. In fact, they contain a bit of almost all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs (1Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s an overview of the nutrients found in a 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving of boiled beetroot (1Trusted Source):</p><p><br /></p><p>Calories: 44</p><p>Protein: 1.7 grams</p><p>Fat: 0.2 grams</p><p>Carbs: 10 grams</p><p>Fiber: 2 grams</p><p>Folate: 20% of the Daily Value (DV)</p><p>Manganese: 14% of the DV</p><p>Copper: 8% of the DV</p><p>Potassium: 7% of the DV</p><p>Magnesium: 6% of the DV</p><p>Vitamin C: 4% of the DV</p><p>Vitamin B6: 4% of the DV</p><p>Iron: 4% of the DV</p><p>Beets are particularly rich in folate, a vitamin that plays a key role in growth, development, and heart health (2Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>They also contain a good amount of manganese, which is involved in bone formation, nutrient metabolism, brain function, and more (3Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, they’re high in copper, an important mineral required for energy production and the synthesis of certain neurotransmitters (4Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>SUMMARY</p><p>Beets are loaded with vitamins and minerals yet low in calories and fat. They’re also a good source of several key nutrients, including folate, manganese, and copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Could help keep your blood pressure in check</p><p>Beets have been well studied for their ability to decrease elevated blood pressure levels, which are a major risk factor for heart disease (5Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, some studies show that beetroot juice could significantly lower levels of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>The effect appears to be greater for systolic blood pressure, which is the pressure when your heart contracts, rather than diastolic blood pressure, which is the pressure when your heart is relaxed. Also, raw beets may exert a stronger effect than cooked ones (7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>These blood-pressure-lowering effects are likely due to the high concentration of nitrates in this root vegetable. In your body, dietary nitrates are converted into nitric oxide, a molecule that dilates blood vessels and causes blood pressure levels to drop (9Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Beets are also a great source of folate. Although research has turned up mixed results, several studies suggest that increasing your intake of folate could significantly lower blood pressure levels (10Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>However, keep in mind that beets’ effect on blood pressure is only temporary. As such, you need to consume them regularly to experience heart-health benefits over the long term (11Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>SUMMARY</p><p>Beets contain a high concentration of nitrates, which can help lower your blood pressure levels. This may lead to a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Can improve athletic performance</p><p>Several studies suggest that dietary nitrates like those found in beets may enhance athletic performance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitrates appear to affect physical performance by improving the efficiency of mitochondria, which are responsible for producing energy in your cells (12Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>According to one review, beetroot juice could enhance endurance by increasing how long it takes to become exhausted, boosting cardiorespiratory performance, and improving efficiency for athletes (13Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Promisingly, beet juice has also been shown to improve cycling performance and increase oxygen use by up to 20% (14Trusted Source, 15Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s important to note that blood nitrate levels peak within 2–3 hours of consuming beets or their juice.

Still, further research is needed to better understand this potential connection.</p><p><br /></p><p>8. May help balance energy intake</p><p>Beets have several nutritional properties that could make them a great addition to a balanced diet.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, they’re low in fat and calories but high in water, which can help balance your energy intake. Increasing your intake of low calorie foods like this root vegetable has also been associated with weight loss (36Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, despite their low calorie content, they contain moderate amounts of protein and fiber. Both of these nutrients can make it easier to achieve and maintain a moderate weight (37Trusted Source, 38Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>The fiber in beets may also support digestive health, decrease appetite, and promote feelings of fullness, thereby reducing your overall calorie intake (39Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, by including them in smoothies or other recipes, you can easily increase your intake of fruits and vegetables to improve the quality of your diet (40Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>SUMMARY</p><p>Beets have are high in water, moderate in fiber and protein, and low in calories. All of these properties can balance your energy intake and improve your diet quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>9. Delicious and easy to include in your diet</p><p>Beets are not only nutritious but also incredibly delicious and easy to incorporate into your diet.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can juice, roast, steam, or pickle them. For a convenient option, you can purchase them precooked and canned. You can even enjoy them raw, either sliced thinly or grated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Choose beets that feel heavy for their size with fresh, unwilted green leafy tops still attached, if possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because dietary nitrates are water-soluble, it’s best to avoid boiling beets if you’d like to maximize their nitrate content.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some delicious and interesting ways to add more beets to your diet:</p><p><br /></p><p>Salad. Grated beets make a flavorful and colorful addition to coleslaw or other salads.</p><p>Dip. Beets blended with Greek yogurt and fresh garlic make a delicious, healthy, and colorful dip.</p><p>Juice. Fresh beetroot juice is typically better than store-bought versions, which can be high in added sugar and contain only a small amount of beets.</p><p>Leaves. You can cook and enjoy fresh beet leaves similarly to how you’d use spinach.</p><p>Roasted. Wedge beetroots and toss them with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs or spices of your choice. Then, roast them in a 400°F (205°C) oven for 15–20 minutes until they’re tender.</p><p>SUMMARY</p><p>Beetroot is a delicious and versatile vegetable that’s easy to add to your diet. If possible, choose beets that feel heavy for their size with green tops still attached.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom line</p><p>Beets are highly nutritious and loaded with health-promoting properties.</p><p><br /></p><p>They can support the health of your brain, heart, and digestive system, be a great addition to a balanced diet, boost athletic performance, help alleviate inflammation, and possibly slow the growth of cancer cells.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best of all, beets are delicious and easy to include in your diet.

Here’s our process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overview</p><p>The beet is a bulbous, sweet root vegetable that most people either love or hate. It’s not new on the block, but it’s risen to superfood status over the last decade or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Research shows drinking beet juice, also known as beetroot juice, may benefit your health. Here’s how.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Helps lower blood pressure</p><p>Beet juice may help lower your blood pressure. Researchers found that people who drank 250 milliliters (or about 8.4 ounces) of beet juice daily lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitrates, compounds in beet juice that convert into nitric oxide in the blood and help widen and relax blood vessels, are thought to be the cause.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Improves exercise stamina</p><p>According to a small 2012 studyTrusted Source, drinking beet juice increases plasma nitrate levels and boosts physical performance.</p><p><br /></p><p>During the study, trained cyclists who drank 2 cups of beet juice daily improved their 10-kilometer time trial by approximately 12 seconds. At the same time, they also reduced their maximum oxygen output.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. May improve muscle power in people with heart failure</p><p>Results of a 2015 study suggest further benefits of the nitrates in beet juice. The study showed that people with heart failure experienced a 13 percent increase in muscle power 2 hours after drinking beet juice.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. May slow the progression of dementia</p><p>According to a 2011 studyTrusted Source, nitrates may help increase blood flow to the brain in older people and help slow cognitive decline.</p><p><br /></p><p>After participants consumed a high-nitrate diet that included beet juice, their brain MRIs showed increased blood flow in the frontal lobes. The frontal lobes are associated with cognitive thinking and behavior.</p><p><br /></p><p>More studies are needed, but the potential of a high-nitrate diet to help prevent or slow dementia is promising.</p><p><br /></p><p>Watch More</p><p>5. Helps you maintain a healthy weight</p><p>Straight beet juice is low in calories and has virtually no fat. It’s a great option for your morning smoothie. It’ll give you a nutrient and energy boost as you start your day.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. May prevent cancer</p><p>Beets get their rich color from betalains, which are water-soluble antioxidants. According to a 2016 studyTrusted Source, betalains have chemo-preventive abilities against some cancer cell lines.</p><p><br /></p><p>Betalains are thought to be free radical scavengers that help find and destroy unstable cells in the body.</p><p><br /></p><p>7. Good source of potassium</p><p>Beets are a good source of potassium, a mineral and electrolyte that helps nerves and muscles function properly. Drinking beet juice in moderation can help keep your potassium levels optimal.</p><p><br /></p><p>If potassium levels get too low, fatigue, weakness, and muscle cramps can occur. Very low potassium may lead to life threatening abnormal heart rhythms.</p><p><br /></p><p>8. Good source of other minerals</p><p>Your body can’t function properly without essential minerals. Some minerals boost your immune system, while others support healthy bones and teeth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides potassium, beet juice provides:</p><p><br /></p><p>iron</p><p>magnesium</p><p>manganese</p><p>sodium</p><p>zinc</p><p>copper</p><p>selenium</p><p>9. Good source of folate</p><p>Folate is a B vitamin that helps prevent neural tube defects, such as spinal bifida and anencephaly. It may also decrease your risk for having a premature baby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Beet juice is a good source of folate. If you’re of childbearing age, adding folate to your diet can help you get the daily recommended amount of 600 microgramsTrusted Source.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6jlr0ZW90xsUnKX2eG4Gf_ez_P_ucvJUyzIZ0w7MgRbmEXVZeRPSh0QdYnaLbU7cmsiEtC3ajDfF8MAbFYWOdA-0A8HoKPw8NMqi3j81o_OYyATbggSuWGfuu5FqPMA_Ir-RZokl-0NN5LrPhUgbNU1-PISRge8y6aGBJTh1_RrXGDJMcLoW1v-Pp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="750" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6jlr0ZW90xsUnKX2eG4Gf_ez_P_ucvJUyzIZ0w7MgRbmEXVZeRPSh0QdYnaLbU7cmsiEtC3ajDfF8MAbFYWOdA-0A8HoKPw8NMqi3j81o_OYyATbggSuWGfuu5FqPMA_Ir-RZokl-0NN5LrPhUgbNU1-PISRge8y6aGBJTh1_RrXGDJMcLoW1v-Pp" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p>10. Supports your liver</p><p>You may develop a condition known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease if your liver becomes overloaded due to the following factors:</p><p><br /></p><p>a poor diet</p><p>excessive alcohol consumption</p><p>exposure to toxic substances</p><p>sedentary lifestyle</p><p>The antioxidant betaine potentially helps prevent or reduce fatty deposits in the liver. Betaine may also help protect your liver from toxins.</p><p><br /></p><p>11. May reduce cholesterol</p><p>If you have high cholesterol, consider adding beet juice to your diet.</p><p><br /></p><p>A 2011 study on rats found that beetroot extract lowered total cholesterol and triglycerides and increased HDL, or “good,” cholesterol. It also reduced oxidative stress on the liver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Researchers believe beetroot’s cholesterol-lowering potential is likely due to its phytonutrients, such as flavonoids.</p><p><br /></p><p>Precautions</p><p>Your urine and stools may turn red or pinkish after eating beets. This condition, known as beeturia, is harmless. However, it may be startling if you don’t expect it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have low blood pressure, drinking beet juice regularly may increase the risk of your pressure dropping too low. Monitor your blood pressure carefully.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you’re prone to calcium oxalate kidney stones, don’t drink beet juice. Beets are high in oxalates, which are naturally occurring substances that form crystals in your urine. They may lead to stones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next steps</p><p>Beets are healthy no matter how you prepare them. However, juicing beets is a superior way to enjoy them because cooking beets reduces their nutritional value.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don’t like beet juice straight up, try adding some apple slices, mint, citrus, or a carrot to cut through the earthy taste.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you decide to add beet juice to your diet, take it easy at first. Start by juicing half a small beet and see how your body responds. As your body adjusts, you can drink more.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>NUTRITION</p><p>Are Pickled Beets Good for You?</p><p>Nutrients</p><p>Benefits</p><p>Downsides</p><p>Bottom line</p><p>Pickled beets are a convenient alternative to fresh beets.</p><p><br /></p><p>They’re rich in nutrients and offer many of the same health benefits as their fresh counterparts but have a much longer shelf life.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, pickled beets can also be high in salt and sugar, so you may wonder whether they’re truly good for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>This article discusses the pros and cons of eating pickled beets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rich in nutrients</p><p>Beets are a root vegetable that’s often pickled.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though pickling causes a small loss of nutrients, pickled beets remain a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Just 3.5 ounces (100 grams) provide (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source):</p><p><br /></p><p>Calories: 65</p><p>Protein: less than 1 gram</p><p>Fat: less than 1 gram</p><p>Carbs: 16 grams</p><p>Sugar: 11 grams</p><p>Fiber: less than 1 gram</p><p>Copper: 13% of the Daily Value (DV)</p><p>Manganese: 10% of the DV</p><p>Folate: 7% of the DV</p><p>Riboflavin: 4% of the DV</p><p>Magnesium: 4% of the DV</p><p>Vitamin C: 3% of the DV</p><p>Pantothenic acid: 3% of the DV</p><p>Vitamin B6: 3% of the DV</p><p>Choline: 3% of the DV</p><p>They’re especially rich in natural sugars, copper, folate, and manganese. These nutrients help boost your energy levels, make DNA, regulate your immune system, and build and repair tissues and bones (3Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Packed with beneficial compounds</p><p>Beets are likewise a rich source of flavonoid and polyphenol antioxidants, which protect your body against disease by fighting unstable molecules called free radicals (6, 7, 8Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, beetroot is considered one of the 10 plants with the highest antioxidant activity. They’re especially rich in betalains and betanins, two polyphenols that give this veggie its deep red color (6).</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the pickling process reduces antioxidant levels by 25–70%. Thus, pickled beets contain lower antioxidant levels than those of other forms of beets (6, 9Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Beets are also a rich source of nitrates and saponins (8Trusted Source, 6).</p><p><br /></p><p>While nitrates help lower blood pressure and enhance athletic performance, saponins may boost immune and heart health (10Trusted Source, 11Trusted Source, 12Trusted Source, 13Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Pickled beets made via fermentation or the addition of raw, unpasteurized vinegar also contain probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria linked to improved immune function, as well as better heart and digestive health (14Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>These types of pickled beets are difficult to find in most grocery stores, so you can either make your own or look for them at farmers markets.</p><p><br /></p><p>SUMMARY</p><p>Beets are particularly rich in natural sugars, copper, folate, and manganese — nutrients that are needed for numerous bodily processes. They also boast antioxidants.</p><p><br /></p><p>May offer certain health benefits</p><p>Pickled beets are linked to certain health benefits.</p><p><br /></p><p>May boost heart health</p><p>Pickled beets are naturally rich in nitrates, which your body converts into nitric oxide. This molecule helps blood vessels dilate, which protects against high blood pressure (8Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Research suggests that beet products can lower blood pressure by up to 10 mm Hg. However, this effect likely only lasts a few hours, so you need to eat nitrate rich-foods regularly to prolong this effect (15Trusted Source, 16Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Nitrates may also preserve endothelial function. The endothelium is a thin membrane lining the inside of your blood vessels that helps regulate blood clotting and immune function (8Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>May improve digestion</p><p>In pickled beets made through natural fermentation, the healthy bacteria on beets’ skin break down their sugars over several days.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fermented pickled beets are rich in healthy bacteria called probiotics, which improve your digestion by making it easier for your body to break down foods and absorb their nutrients (18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Probiotics may also protect against toxins and harmful bacteria, as well as reduce gas, constipation, and bloating. What’s more, they may relieve symptoms of gut disorders like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease (19Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>May improve physical performance</p><p>The nitrates in pickled beets may improve athletic ability by boosting your muscles’ power and performance (11Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Some studies suggest that beetroot juice increases performance on timed endurance or high intensity exercise by around 3% (11Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>However, these effects appear strongest in untrained individuals and are typically observed with beetroot juice, not pickled beets. It’s unclear how many pickled beets you’d have to eat to see the same effects.</p><p><br /></p><p>May regulate your blood sugar levels</p><p>Pickled beets may lower your blood sugar levels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most varieties of pickled beets are made with vinegar, which studies suggest may reduce blood sugar and insulin levels after a meal (20Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>Experts believe that beets’ nitrates and antioxidants also keep blood sugar levels in check (8Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>In one study, concentrated beetroot juice caused a lower spike in blood sugar and insulin levels than a similar sugary beverage. Nonetheless, other studies failed to find the same result (8Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source).</p><p><br /></p><p>What’s more, none of these studies examined the direct effect of pickled beets on blood sugar and insulin levels. Therefore, more research is needed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMUqWKMJW-kRN8XMKLS12jxgemoffkahiUmHvJilRX8ItTvg6hfSLsa9A1ln1QT7yWz1brNRpktZpZOhlqWUHqsVk-Twr_z6k3KFsazgS9OH85qaFMrTF5lIwwUe5OiZpL1WQqf7Ki6zwAtnWGgt-ANxU13aPZ7cnb-zZcNx7BZ1Owo8f8ciQ3dDq4" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMUqWKMJW-kRN8XMKLS12jxgemoffkahiUmHvJilRX8ItTvg6hfSLsa9A1ln1QT7yWz1brNRpktZpZOhlqWUHqsVk-Twr_z6k3KFsazgS9OH85qaFMrTF5lIwwUe5OiZpL1WQqf7Ki6zwAtnWGgt-ANxU13aPZ7cnb-zZcNx7BZ1Owo8f8ciQ3dDq4" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p>SUMMARY</p><p>Pickled beets may improve digestion, physical performance, and heart health, as well as lower blood sugar and insulin levels.</p>tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-26504660714053181122015-11-07T09:43:00.001-08:002015-11-07T10:00:58.189-08:00Os 9 tipos de inteligencia humana A TEORIA DAS INTELIGÊNCIAS MÚLTIPLAS foi desenvolvida pelo psicólogo americano Howard Gardner. Segundo ele, o cérebro dos homens e mulheres possui oito tipos diferentes de inteligência.<br />
No entanto, segundo a mesma teoria, a maioria das pessoas possui um ou dois tipos de inteligências mais desenvolvidas que as outras. Isso explica porque uma pessoa pode ser muito boa com cálculos matemáticos e ter dificuldade com atividades artísticas.<br />
A teoria ainda afirma que é praticamente impossível dizer que uma pessoa é “mais inteligente” que a outra. Uma criança que aprende a multiplicar números facilmente não é necessariamente mais inteligente do que outra que tenha habilidades mais forte em outro tipo de inteligência.<br />
Depois de mais alguns anos de pesquisa, Gardner ponderou que existe uma 9ª inteligência que talvez seja importante incluir na lista: a inteligência existencial.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations. It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.</div>

Cá estou novamente, olha tenho que confessar que já estava
com saudades de vocês. Já se vai mais de um ano deste a ultima postagem,
realmente estava sem tempo já que ando muito atarefado com minhas traduções e
agradeço a todos pela preferencia que me dão. Tenho que admitir que o trabalho
de tradutor não é fácil, mas o amor a profissão fala mais alto e cá estou
novamente escrevendo para vocês. Hoje volto a falar da beterraba, já publiquei
uma receitinha que é tiro e queda para quem é hipertenso. Agora vou mostrar
aqui as evidencias de um estudo feito com este vegetal na universidade Queen
Mary de Londres. É aquilo né, mato a cobra e mostro o pau... Vamos lá então foi
comprovado cientificamente que a beterraba é eficiente no controle da pressão
alta, basta tomar um copo de suco ao dia que sua pressão será drasticamente
reduzida. Desta forma é o fim para aqueles que precisam tomar medicamentos
caros e cheios de contra indicações para o resto da vida. Acha que estou
exagerando? Nem um pouco! Segue aqui o texto em inglês sobre a pesquisa feita
em Londres que comprovou a eficácia da beterraba no controle da hipertensão. Para
você que gosta de inglês é uma boa oportunidade para mantê-lo bem atualizado. Um abraço
a todos!<o:p></o:p></div>

Ao longo destes anos, venho fazendo traduções de inglês para português e vice-versa mas não tenho
falado também de minhas descobertas com relação a alimentação saudável. Nestas minhas
experiências com alimentos alternativos descobri a fabulosa beterraba! E vou
aproveitar deixando aqui uma receitinha infalível para quem sofre de pressão
alta. Para quem não sabe a beterraba é rica em potássio e isto ajuda a abaixar
a pressão arterial se você não quiser ficar tomando remédio para hipertensão o
resto da vida, esta é a saída saudável e barata para controlar a pressão
mantendo-a sempre em 12/8. Vamos lá então ao que interessa né! Bata no
liquidificador uma beterraba media com 2 copos de 200 ml de leite mais uma maça
por uns 2 min a velocidade alta e tome todos os dias. O importante é tomar
imediatamente este suco logo que o fizer e seus efeitos serão sentidos durante
as próximas 24 h. Como na internet todos compartilham informações para o
beneficio da coletividade então estou fazendo minha contribuição já que este
suco realmente funciona e é eficiente. Um abraço a todos. <o:p></o:p></div>

ajuda a superar as dificuldades que podem surgir no nosso cotidiano. Mas realmente
isso é verdade? Será que agir desta forma pode amenizar um pouco nosso
sofrimento diário? Se você acha que isso é uma perda de tempo então faça um
teste quem sabe pode dar certo. Você não terá nada a perder, vai valer a
tentativa. Já leu “o segredo”? Já leu algum livro de autoajuda? Tirou alguma
lição proveitosa para sua vida? Olha vou ser sincero... Cada livro lido é um
ponto ganho para seu auto crescimento cultural, você não sai perdendo nada, só tem
a ganhar. Se você leu “o segredo” pode parecer baboseira, perda de tempo a
principio, mas você vai ver que existe certa verdade no que o autor esta
falando. Pensar que algo vai dar certo, que você esta no caminho certo só pode
te ajudar a realmente encontrar o que você procura. Dê uma ajuda para o

basta você ser sincero com você mesmo e reconhecer que muitas vezes a gente tem
que ser grato pelo que a gente possui, só assim você passará a enxergar a
felicidade bem diante de si. Valorizar o que tem é um passo positivo para a

Boa noticia para os românticos: cientistas afirmam que o amor verdadeiro, de fato, existe. Um estudo realizado com mapeamento cerebral demonstrou que certos casais possuem os mesmos traços iniciais de romance, amor e interesse em 20 anos de casamento. <br />
<br />
Ainda este estudo comparou as áreas cerebrais mapeadas de casais que estavam juntos já há duas décadas com outros casais que estavam juntos há pouco tempo e descobriu que um em dez casais exibia as mesmas reações químicas quando viam as fotos das pessoas amadas, o que é normal acontecer no inicio de um relacionamento amoroso. <br />
<br />
Estes casais demonstraram ter as mesmas características dos animais que se acasalam para toda a vida, e que mantém seus parceiros como os cisnes, raposas cinzentas e os arganazes. É como se eles tivessem um mapa amoroso cerebral, assim para os cientistas, a descoberta indica que alguns elementos da paixão amadurecem, permitindo que casais de longa data desfrutem do que chamam de "companheirismo intenso e vivacidade sexual".<br />

Good news for romantics: scientists claim that true love does, in fact, exist. A study of brain scans showed that certain couples can maintain their early sparks of romance and excitement over 20 years.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
According to John Harlow and Brendan Montague of the Times Online, scientists studied the brain scans of couples who had been together for 20 years vs. couples who had recently fallen in love and found that "one in 10 of the mature couples exhibited the same chemical reactions when shown photographs of their loved ones as people commonly do in the early stages of a relationship." These couples were dubbed "swans" by the scientists, because they showed the same type of "mate for life" mentality as such animals as swans, foxes and, if Phoebe Buffay is to be believed, lobsters.<br />

Aprender um novo idioma afeta o tamanho físico do cérebro? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Um estudo sueco descobriu que há um aumento cerebral em adultos que aprendem um novo idioma, porem a estrutura do cérebro permanece a mesma, apenas em certas partes cerebrais houve o registro deste aumento. A principal alteração foi constatada no hipocampo, estrutura responsável pela memória principalmente a que converte a memória de curto prazo em longo prazo. Outras partes do córtex cerebral, substância externa do cérebro que é chamada de massa cinzenta, pode ser afetada, dependendo do esforço despendido no aprendizado de uma nova língua. Confira o texto agora em inglês para você praticar este idioma tão importante hoje em dia. <br />

<br />
Does Learning a New Language Affect Physical Brain Size?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Physical brain size has been found to increase in adults who learn a new language. The structure of the brain remains the same, but certain parts might increase in size after an in-depth language study, research has shown. The main change typically is to the hippocampus, the structure that is responsible for memory, particularly converting information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Other parts of the cerebral cortex, the brain's outer layer that is often called gray matter, might be affected, depending on how much effort a person has to put into learning a new language. A Swedish study found that people who learned a new language more easily had larger growth in the superior temporal gyrus, which is related to language learning. Those who struggled were more likely to experience growth of the middle frontal gyrus, which is related to motor function.<br />
<br />

<br />
•Most human beings become fluent in their native language before they are 5 years old.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
•Italian Cardinal Mezzofanti, born in 1774, was said to be fluent in as many as 72 languages.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
•If someone becomes fluent in a new language after puberty, he or she likely will always speak it with an accent.<br />

<body>
<hr>
<p>Olá, amigos
<p>Os norte-americanos obtêm 11% de calorias totais a partir da ingestão de “fast food” (comida rápida, lanches, etc). Seu gasto anual nestes alimentos chega a mais de R$235 bilhões de reais. Pessoas negras não hispânicas do sexo masculino consomem geralmente uma porcentagem mais elevada de “fast food”, com mais de 20% destas calorias sendo provenientes destes alimentos prontos. A prevalência de redes de restaurantes que atuam neste segmento alimentício supostamente contribui para o aumento de obesidade da população. Mais de 1/3 dos norte-americanos são obesos, estima-se que isso se deva ao mau habito alimentar que eles adquiriram ao longo dos anos. De 2007 a 2010, indivíduos com peso normal consumiram menos de 10% de calorias a partir destes alimentos em comparação com 13% das pessoas obesas.
“O fast-food virou sinônimo de um estilo de vida estressante que vem sendo criticado desde o final do século XX. O principal movimento organizado de contraposição é chamado de slow food ("comida lenta"), e teve sua origem na Itália, no ano de 1986.”
<br><br>
<p>“Alimentos servidos nas ruas, por vendedores ambulantes, conhecida também como street food ("comida de rua") é uma prática que remonta à Antiguidade e tem presença em praticamente todas as regiões do mundo moderno e que pode ser considerada uma forma de fast-food.”

<p>How Much Fast Food Do Americans Eat?
<br>
<p>Americans get an estimated 11% of their total calorie intake from fast food. The total spending on fast food in the US is more than $110 billion US Dollars (USD) annually. Non-Hispanic black males typically eat the highest percentage of fast food, with more than 20% of their calories coming from fast food, on average. The prevalence of quick-service restaurants in the US is thought to contribute to the increasing prevalence of obesity. More than one-third of all Americans are obese, it is estimated, and obese people consume more of their calories from quick-service restaurants. From 2007 to 2010, individuals of normal weights consumed less than 10% of their calories from fast food, compared with 13% by obese people.
<br><br>
<p>More about fast-food consumption:
<br>
<p>•In 1970, the annual spending on convenience food in the US was $6 billion USD, compared with more than $110 billion USD in 2010.
<br>
<p>•American chain restaurants' food servings are about 25% larger than the same chain restaurants' servings in France.
<br>
<p>•China ranks second among all countries in fast-food consumption, but the Chinese still spend only about half of what Americans spend on it.

<body>
<p>Olá, amigos
<p>Um estudo conduzido no Japão descobriu que ver fotos de filhotes pode trazer benefícios para a concentração e a coordenação motora. Kawaii, palavra japonesa para bonito, se refere a objetos que geralmente possuem características encontradas em filhotes, como olhos grandes e cabeça maior que o corpo. Pessoas que viram as fotos de filhotes antes de completarem as tarefas requisitadas, as quais exigiam habilidades motoras, se mostraram mais rápidas e mais precisas que aquelas que não foram submetidas. Pesquisadores chegaram a conclusão que ao ver estas fotos lindas de animais houve estimulo cerebral e despertou o instinto maternal ou paternal dos pesquisados, o que resultou em movimentos mais suaves, motivando mais cuidados. Veja agora o texto em inglês e compare para a obtenção de um melhor vocabulário good luck!
<br><br>
<p><b>Is There a Benefit to Looking at Photos of Baby Animals?</b>
<br>
<p>A Japanese research study found that viewing pictures of baby animals might have benefits, including improved physical focus on detail and concentration. Kawaii, the Japanese word for "cute," refers to objects that typically have features most commonly found in baby animals, such as large eyes and a bigger head in proportion to the body. People who viewed pictures of baby animals before completing tasks that required fine motor skills were found to be quicker and more accurate than people who did not view the pictures. Researchers hypothesized that viewing cute images stimulated the brain and motivated people to be caregivers, which would result in more gentle movements. Subjects who looked at pictures of baby animals also tended to perform better on activities that required quickly focusing to pick out particular numbers from a set, although it is not clear why.
More about kawaii:
<br>
<p>• People are more likely to speak and move more slowly and carefully around baby animals and children, even if they do not realize it. <br>
<p>• Japanese anime merchandise features characters who have features commonly found in babies, and it is thought to be popular worldwide because of the positive mental feelings that are brought out by their kawaii.
<br>
<p>• Looking at photos of baby animals to improve focus and productivity might be especially helpful before driving a vehicle or performing office tasks. <br>

<body>
<b>Olá, amigos </b>
<p>Em 1981, agricultores japoneses começaram a cultivar melancias quadradas, seu preço para venda era de R$175,00 a unidade. O propósito de eles cultivarem as melancias neste formato era para facilitar o manuseio e o transporte do produto. Mas o elevado preço para a venda da melancia quadrada não a tornou acessível para a maioria dos consumidores assim muitos produtores usam alternativas mais simples como os americanos que produzem melancias menores que cabem com mais facilidade nos refrigeradores. Mais outra curiosidade: a melancia é considerada tanto uma fruta como um vegetal assim ele esta classificada nas 2 categorias. Para treinar seu inglês um pouco mais segue este assunto e outros referentes a melancia neste texto simples e direto deste idioma que é tão importante hoje em dia.

Instead, the watermelons are placed into glass cube containers so that the watermelons take the form of the containers. Japanese farmers began to grow and sell square watermelons in 1981, at a price equivalent to about $83 US Dollars (USD) each. The purpose of the square watermelons was to make them easier to stack and ship, as well as to preserve refrigerator space. The high price of square watermelons is a main reason why they are not widely purchased, and farmers typically use other options for saving space. For example, American farmers often grow small watermelons that will fit on standard refrigerator shelves for convenience purposes.

<p>More about watermelons:
<p>•The watermelon is thought to have originated in ancient Egypt, and hieroglyphics of watermelons are depicted on the walls of ancient Egyptian buildings.
<p>•Watermelons consist of about 92% water.
<p>•Other shapes of watermelons have been created, including pyramid-shape watermelons.

<p>fruit or vegetable?
<p>For years people have debated whether watermelon is a fruit or a vegetable – we consider it both – here’s why . . .
<br>
<p>Watermelon is a Fruit
<p>Watermelon is the fruit of a plant originally from a vine of southern Africa. The watermelon fruit, loosely considered a type of melon (although not in the genus Cucumis), has a smooth exterior rind and a juicy, sweet, usually red interior flesh. The species descriptor Citrullus vulgaris is sometimes, synonymously, used to refer to this plant (vulgaris meaning "common" — Shosteck, 1974).
<p>Like the pepper, tomato, and pumpkin, watermelon is botanically a fruit. According to Webster’s dictionary and Wikipedia, a fruit is the ripened ovary of a seed plant and its contents, and a watermelon is a large oblong roundish fruit (2004, 2006). Consumers use watermelon primarily as a fruit because of its sweet flavor and refreshing qualities.
<br>
<p>Watermelon is Also a Vegetable
<p>According to Webster’s dictionary a vegetable is anything made or obtained from plants (2004). Watermelon is a member of the cucurbitaceae plant family of gourds (classified as Citrullus Lantus), related to the cucumber, squash, and pumpkin (Maynard, 2001). It is planted from seeds or seedlings, harvested, and then cleared from the field like other vegetables. Since watermelon is grown as a vegetable crop using vegetable production systems, watermelon is considered a vegetable (Wolford, 2004).
<p>How Watermelon is used as a Fruit or a Vegetable
<p>Watermelon is popularly used as a fruit, to be a sweet enhancer or fun accompaniment to our everyday meals. The watermelon is often cut into bite-sized squares or balled, or very often simply sliced and enjoyed. It’s also used in the types of recipes that are created using fruit.
<p>However, the whole watermelon is edible, even the rind. In places like China, the watermelon is stir-fried, stewed and often pickled. In this case, the watermelon is being used as a vegetable. Pickled watermelon rind is also widespread in Russia. (Wikipedia 2006)
<p>Scientifically Speaking
<p>The scientific name of watermelon is Citrullus lanatus. It is a member of the cucurbitaceae family.
Life; Embryophyta (plants); Angiospermae (flowering plants); Order: Cucurbitales (pumpkin and melon family); Family: Cucurbitaceae.
<p>There are about 120 genera and 735 species of Cucurbitaceae worldwide, with 18 genera and 76 species native to southern Africa. Some well known vegetables fall in this family such as watermelon, hubbard squash, butternut, pumpkin, sweet melons and cucumber.
<P>All a Matter of Perspective
<P>Depending on how you want to classify it, a watermelon can be considered a fruit or a vegetable. No matter which way you slice it, watermelon is fun to eat and very good for you!

<body>
<p>Olá amigos
<P>Parece que em temperaturas mais altas fica mais difícil e complexo tomar decisões que exigem mais do nosso cérebro. Pesquisadores descobriram que em temperaturas elevadas as pessoas tendem a escolher as opções mais simples que aquelas que têm mais complexidade. Isto ocorre porque o cérebro usa mais glicose para regular a temperatura corporal, em especial para resfriar o organismo. Assim o cérebro fica sem uma dose extra de glicose para realizar as tarefas mentais. As pessoas que não estão habituadas a temperatura local do ambiente tendem a sofrer mais já as pessoas nativas não sofrem esta discrepância.
Para você que gosta de inglês, confira o texto em inglês para praticar um pouco mais:

<p>Is It Harder to Think in Warm Temperatures?
<p>Warm temperatures have been found to make it more difficult to think and make complex decisions. Researchers found that people in warmer temperatures tend to choose the simplest available options rather than weighing different options. This is thought to occur because the brain uses additional glucose to regulate the body’s temperature, especially to cool the body. This might leave less glucose for the brain to use as energy for performing mental tasks. Temperature tends to affect decision making mainly when a person is experiencing a temperature to which he or she is not adapted, such as when on vacation in a different climate. Those who regularly live in warm climates do not have their thinking affected.
<br>
<p>More about what affects decisions:
<br>
<p>•Making more decisions throughout the day can lead to decision fatigue, making it more difficult to think clearly later in the day.
<p>•A study in the Netherlands found that people who have full bladders are able to make better decisions, which has been attributed to the brain signaling the need for self-control.
<p>•Research has shown that people who are angry can more easily differentiate between strong and weak arguments and thus make better decisions.

<body>
<p>Olá, amigos
<p>Depois de um tempo afastado do blogger estou de volta. Resolvi voltar, pois recebi vários pedidos para retornar ao blog, e depois havia um grande numero de acesso e de seguidores que me animou a continuar com esta empreitada e cá estou novamente com o inglês que tanto amo e com certeza vocês também amam muito. Hoje apresento a vocês, como curiosidade, uma formiga muito peçonhenta que vive no Arizona (EUA) depois de uma breve explicação em português vocês acompanham em inglês para quem gosta de praticar este idioma tão importante, espero que vocês gostem. Beijão!
<p>Formiga Cortadeira (Pogonomyrmex maricopa)
As formigas cortadeiras de Maricopa, Maricopa Pogonomyrmex, é uma das espécies mais comuns de formigas cortadeiras encontradas no Arizona, e é considerada o inseto mais peçonhento no mundo atualmente.
<p>Comportamento:
<p>Ela ataca geralmente num processo duplo, consiste em mordida com as mandíbulas e ferroada aplicando o veneno, e costuma fazer isso repetidas vezes.
Apesar disso, essas formigas cortadeiras desempenham um papel importante na decomposição, arrastando cadáveres de insetos para o subterrâneo e enriquecendo o solo para as plantas e as colheitas.
Mas sua dieta é mais especifica. Isso pode variar numa Planta chamada Mesquite e em vegetações próximas (Vagens/sementes).
<br><br>
<p>
Which Is the Most Poisonous Insect?
<p>The most poisonous insect is considered to be the Maricopa harvester ant, which is native to Arizona. A fully grown Maricopa harvester ant is about 1.2 inches (3 cm) long, and its venom is more toxic than those of bees, wasps, scorpions or snakes. In fact, a person would have to be stung by a honeybee more than 12 times to equal one sting from a Maricopa harvester ant. These ants cling to their prey and inject a venom containing toxins that can destroy tissue. About 350 stings from these ants could be enough to kill a person who weighs 150 pounds (68 kg).
<p>More about poisonous insects:
<p>•The first recorded death caused by a poisonous insect was in the 26th century B.C. King Menes of Egypt was thought to have died as a result of a wasp or hornet sting.
<p>•The Maricopa harvester ant releases a pheromone upon the first sting of its victim, and it alerts other ants to come and attack the victim as well.
<p>•About 96% of deaths related to insect stings are thought to be the result of allergic reactions to the stings, rather than because of the toxicity of the venom.

Para vc praticar um pouco mais seu inglês segue o texto que destaca os cuidados que se devem ter para controlar esta doença. <br /><br /><br />Dandruff, also known as seborrheic dermatitis or seborrheic eczema, is primarily a skin condition with several suspected triggers, including a fungus called Malassezia furfur, an allergic reaction to hair care products, a diet lacking in B-complex vitamins, and emotional stress. The best way to prevent dandruff from developing is to proactively address some or all of those issues before the scalp starts shedding white powdery flecks of dry skin. While these flakes of damaged skin are not contagious, they can be very unsightly and can suggest that a person has poor grooming habits or personal hygiene.<br />One way to prevent dandruff is to improve your diet. The Malassezia furfur fungus tends to feed on fat or oil deposits present on every person's skin. A diet which does not provide enough healthy omega-3 fatty acids or B-complex vitamins can result in heavier excretions of the type of skin oils favored by the fungus. The skin cells damaged by Malassezia furfur will eventually peel away from the scalp and lodge between hair follicles as dandruff. A more balanced diet should help reduce the level of unhealthy oils and fats excreted onto the scalp.<br /><br /><br />Another internal way to prevent dandruff is through stress management. People who lead stressful lives often have a tendency to eat a poor or insufficient diet, which in turn can leave the skin vulnerable to dermatitis, eczema, or fungal growth. By reducing stress during the day and sleeping longer at night, a person can help prevent dandruff from forming in the first place.<br />There are some external ways to prevent dandruff as well. Some home remedies suggest applying a handful of table salt to the scalp and rinsing it out thoroughly before applying shampoo. Another involves crushing fenugreek seeds into a powder, mixing the powder with water to form a paste, then applying the paste to the scalp and allowing it to remain undisturbed for at least 30 minutes before rinsing. These remedies may help to make the scalp's outer skin layer or epidermis inhospitable for fungal growth.<br />Some other home remedies to remove or prevent dandruff include an application of emu oil, a final rinse with lime juice, or the application of a diluted cider vinegar solution to the hair and scalp between shampoos. Brushing or combing the hair several times a day can also help to redistribute the hair's natural oils and reduce the chances of developing dandruff. People with excessively oily hair should try shampooing their hair more often, especially with shampoos containing drying agents such as tea tree oil.<br />It is also possible to have an allergic reaction or develop a sensitivity to commercial hair care products, which in turn can trigger the same episodes of flaky skin as a fungal infection. One way to prevent dandruff may be to cut back on the use of certain hair care products which could be irritating the scalp. Getting more sun exposure may help you prevent dandruff, but excessive exposure to the elements can also trigger it or make it worse. When faced with a dandruff problem, it may help to switch to medicated anti-dandruff shampoos and systematically eliminate other hair care products until the problem resolves itself.

Assim aqui vão algumas dicas de como montar uma boa adega e ao mesmo tempo vc praticar seu inglês! Good luck! <br /><br /><br />A wine cellar is a room, or in some cases cabinet, meant to store and protect wine. It can vary in size, cost, and effectiveness. In recent years a number of affordable options have appeared on the market, allowing even casual consumers of wine the ability to store their wine.<br /><br />Intended to protect the wine, a wine cellar can guard against the three traditional enemies of wine in bottle: heat, dryness, and light. A good wine cellar keeps the wine at a fairly low temperature, with a decent amount of humidity, and in relative darkness. In addition, a good wine cellar protects against any drastic fluctuations in temperature or humidity, which can damage the wine very quickly.<br /><br />The term wine cellar is often used to describe anywhere meant to protect wine for a prolonged period of time, but should strictly refer to an actual below-ground cellar. A wine cellar that is above ground is more properly called a wine room, and the smaller wine fridges many people use in their homes are wine closets.<br /><br />Within the scope of an actual wine cellar, there are two main types: passive cellars and active cellars. A passive wine cellar would be found somewhere that is naturally cool and humid, and which also doesn't change wildly depending on the season. Deep natural caves are often used as passive wine cellars, but man-made earthen cellars can also function well in the right environment. <br /><br />Active wine cellars make use of insulation, monitoring and cooling systems, artificial humidifiers, and seals. These cellars can be very costly, depending on their size, but allow for more dynamic construction. They may also be a more ideal form of protection for valuable wines.<br /><br />A wine room or home wine cellar can be constructed either by a specialized company, or in a do-it-yourself fashion. Many people find that they can convert a spare closet into a functional wine cellar without spending too much money or time. The most important thing is simply to keep the wine cool, and at a steady temperature. Ideally, wine will be kept at somewhere around 50° F (10° C), with no more than a few degrees variation year-round.<br /><br />Many companies now also offer small electric wine cellars, which are really wine closets or wine refrigerators. These come in many different sizes, and at a number of different price points. The smallest hold only a few bottles, while larger stand-alones may hold more than 100 bottles. The cheaper standup wine cellars regulate only the temperature of the wines, with some having two different "zones," one for red and one for white. More expensive standup wine cellars keep the wines at a constant humidity as well, which may or may not help protect natural corks from drying out and damaging the wine. <br /><br />Some companies will also come to your house and convert a closet or spare room into your very own wine cellar. They install added insulation, temperature monitors, and some type of humidifier. Many consumers find that these conversions can be surprisingly affordable. <br /><br />One other alternative to a traditional wine cellar exists for those who want to protect their wines, but don't want to invest in digging out their own cellar or finding a natural cave. Many self-storage facilities offer temperature- and humidity-controlled environments for a monthly price. This can be a surprisingly effective way to keep a large number of wines protected for years on end, although it is a good idea to make sure the temperature range is truly stable, and ideally to find a unit that offers some sort of insurance for the goods that you store there.</strong>tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-81815458041848024912010-09-06T04:51:00.000-07:002013-05-29T10:21:31.600-07:00crianças com dificuldades de aprendizagem - tradutor de inglês<strong>What Is a Learning Disability?<br /><br />Crianças com dificuldades de aprendizagem demoram mais para aprender a ler e a escrever e demais funções também são afetadas como a fala, memorização e a organização de informações. Este problema é difícil de ser identificado quando a criança ainda é muito pequena mas a partir dos 7 anos já se torna bem evidente seu diagnostico. Os pais devem procurar informações e discutir este problema com os professores e os profissionais da saúde para que busquem ajuda e auxiliem as crianças a superar estas dificuldades. Segue mais um texto informativo em inglês sobre o tema, bom estudo e good luck! <br /><br />A learning disability is any of a number of conditions that make the process of learning difficult because of the way the brain processes information. In most people with a learning disability, it becomes recognizable sometime during the early years of school. A learning disability does affect the way a person learns, but it does not mean he or she cannot learn. <br />There are numerous types of learning disabilities that may affect speech, reading, writing, memorization, organization of information, and even motor skills. Many people with a learning disability may have difficulty focusing or remembering what they have read or heard. The impact on these areas of learning can make school frustrating for children and can even make work difficult for adults who have not learned to manage a learning disability. <br /><br /><br />The brain processes information in pieces in different sections and transmits processed information to other parts of the brain. A person with a learning disability has a brain that either processes or transmits information differently than the average, or "normal" brain. Brain function can cause a person with a learning disability to have difficulty processing or transmitting written, verbal, or auditory information in the standard way others are used to. <br />Public schools estimate that roughly 10% of students have some type of learning disability. In contrast to students whose school performance is poor based on demographics, economics, or cultural influence, a learning disability is not caused by environment, but is a neurobiological disorder. In most places, students who are affected by a learning disability are entitled to certain considerations and rights by law in order to improve their experience in school and receive an equal opportunity for education. <br />A learning disability is typically diagnosed through a series of cognitive tests administered by a specialist, such as a psychologist, therapist, or other medical professional. Early detection and intervention by parents, medical professionals, and school personnel greatly improve a child's chances of learning success. A person with a learning disability simply learns differently and once their learning abilities and limitations are understood, it is easier for the student and teacher to engage in the learning process. <br />Related topics <br />Learning Disability<br />Learning Disability Children<br />Dyslexia Learning Disability<br />Learning Disability Services<br />Learning Disability Assessment<br />Learning Disability Testing<br />Adhd Learning Disability<br />It can be difficult to identify a learning disability in young children because many parts of their brain are still developing and just beginning to engage in certain processes, but by age 7 or so it becomes easier to detect. If a child is struggling in school because of difficulty concentrating, problems writing, difficulty understanding written material, or similar problems, his or her parents should talk to the child's teachers and pediatrician. These professionals will be able to refer the parent to specialists who can diagnose and work with the child to overcome his or her difficulties. <br /><br /><strong></strong></strong>

Mas seu brilho é bem inferior ao da lua, por isso devemos saber para onde olhar para podermos observá-lo. A lua estando mais perto da terra é mais fácil de ser observada. Nesta época do ano (setembro) Venus esta um pouco deslocado do sol mais ou menos 15 graus adiantado, olhando para este local poder ser visto durante o dia, das 10 da manhã as 10 da noite, vale a pena tentar. Aprenda mais sobre a lua e seu brilho com este texto em inglês, alem de ser informativo serve p/ vc ir praticando seu aprendizado deste idioma tão importante. Good luck! <br /><br /><br /><br />Why does the Moon sometimes come out during the day? <br /><br /><br />You can see the Moon in the daytime because it is big and brightly lit by the Sun. The surface of the Moon is about as reflective as an asphalt road--rather dark but not totally black. When you look at the Moon, you are seeing the light which reflects off it. This is not nearly as bright as the Sun, but it is up to 100,000 times as bright as the brightest nighttime star. <br />During the day, the brightness of the sky washes out the light from the stars: a region of the sky including a bright star is only very slightly brighter than a region of the sky without a bright star, so your eye cannot notice the difference. However, the region of the sky containing the Moon is much brighter, so you can see it. You can also sometimes see Venus during the day if the conditions are right and you know exactly where to look, but anything dimmer is lost. <br />It might be useful to think of the Sun as a large light bulb, and the moon as a large mirror. There are situations where we can't see the light bulb, but we can see the light from the bulb reflected in the mirror. This is the situation when the moon is out at night. We can't see the Sun directly because the earth is blocking our view of it, but we can see its light reflected from the moon. However, there are also situations where we can see both the light bulb and the mirror, and this is what is happening when we see the moon during the day. You can explore this for yourself with a light and a hand mirror. Depending on which way you face (away from the light or sideways to the light) you can see either just the mirror, or both the light and the mirror. <br /><br /><strong></strong>tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-30876680819334128662010-08-25T10:14:00.000-07:002010-08-25T10:25:05.097-07:00Como ver o planeta Vênus de dia - Tradutor de Inglês<strong><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o8pj8HtRKaY/THVRzO9quZI/AAAAAAAAAL4/bXFkkoB-SO8/s1600/venusday.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 225px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o8pj8HtRKaY/THVRzO9quZI/AAAAAAAAAL4/bXFkkoB-SO8/s320/venusday.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509399659789597074" /></a><br />Como astrônomo amador fico fascinado com as surpresas que o céu nos reserva. Por exemplo, ver de dia o planeta Vênus é uma delas. Vc pode vê-lo de 10 h da manhã (25/08/2010) até a meia-noite. Ele aparece mais ou menos 15 ou 20 graus de distancia do sol, ao meio-dia ele esta bem no meio do céu. Nosso amigo John Walker tirou uma foto dele com um telescópio, mas este pode ser visto facilmente a olho nu sem problemas. E ainda mais, consegui ver além de Vênus a formação estelar da Via-lactea durante o dia, é fantastico poder ver estes astros durante o dia, uma dica, para ver Vênus durante o dia, use fios de postes ou casas proximas para que seu olho tenha algo como referencia para vc ver melhor o céu distante ou então olhe para o horizonte e depois olhe rapidamente para o local onde esta o planeta Vênus. Ok. Boa observação! Segue aqui o texto em inglês para vc praticar! <br /><br /><br />Viewing Venus in Broad Daylight <br />by John Walker<br /><br /><br />For almost twenty years I lived near the Pacific coast of California, north of San Francisco (in Marin County). While the climate is superb (if you don't like hot weather, which I detest) and the scenery is magnificent, for an amateur astronomer like myself, there's one huge drawback: the fog. Mark Twain once remarked that the coldest winter he recalled was a summer in San Francisco. Although it rarely rains in the summer, almost every evening dense fog rolls in from the Pacific, reducing visibility to next to nil. On many days which dawn enveloped in fog, the Sun does manage to burn it off in the middle of the day, but come the evening the fog rolls right back in, much appreciated, no doubt, by the huge slimy slugs which outnumber primates in the region, but distinctly less so among said primates who amuse themselves by peering through telescopes. <br /><br />I mean, astronomers are stargazers, and if the only time the sky isn't shrouded in fog is mid-afternoon, that kind of pares down the list of things at which one might direct one's gaze. Daytime optical astronomy seems a subject uniquely devoid of objects: the Sun, Moon, Venus, the occasional comet, the exceptional bolide, and the odd supernova pretty much exhaust the list of potential targets. <br /><br />Venus? Yes. When Venus is bright and far from the Sun in a clear sky, you can observe this planet in broad daylight with the unaided eye. Here's how. <br /><br />I've found that the best way to spot Venus in the daytime is to first note the angular distance between the Sun and Venus by observing Venus shortly after sunset. Then, the next day, find an observing site where the Sun is blocked from view (essential both for eye safety and to allow the iris to dilate and see Venus better against the sky). From that location, sweep the sky in overlapping fields with binoculars pre-focused at infinity by observing an object on the horizon. Sweep along the ecliptic in the area with the angular separation from the Sun noted the previous night. Since the Sun is blocked from view at your observing site, you can freely scan the sky without fear of damaging your vision by inadvertently sweeping past the Sun. <br /><br /> When you sweep past Venus, you'll know it. Even with my battered, poorly collimated, and cheap 6×30s, Venus is a brilliant speck of white against the blue sky. Once you've found Venus with binoculars, put the binoculars down and observe that area of sky with the naked eye. If the sky is perfectly clear your eye has no reference to focus upon so if you've learned the trick of consciously focusing your eyes, changing the focus may help Venus pop out from the sky. <br /><br />Another trick I use to spot Venus in the daytime sky with the naked eye is to focus on the horizon, then quickly look up to the area of sky where Venus shines—the eye tends to remain focused at infinity, and Venus is found more readily. Looking up from a head-level position also seems to minimise interference from material floating within the eye. If the Moon is visible in the daytime sky, I've found that observing it to focus the eye, then sweeping over to Venus also works well. <br /><br />The more transparent the sky, the more visible Venus will be; I've spotted Venus on afternoons with a very light haze, but anything more than that makes naked-eye observation extremely difficult, if not impossible. You can estimate the transparency of the sky by observing how close to the Sun the sky remains blue—the smaller the white dazzle around the Sun, the clearer the sky. Don't, of course, stare directly at the Sun unless you want to permanently conclude your astronomical career. <br /><br />I find the sight of Venus shining forth from a brilliant blue mid-afternoon sky not only inherently beautiful (when else can you see a pinpoint of light piercing the daytime sky?), but rewarding to the observer in the sense that you're seeing a sight that billions of people could see if they bothered to look, but which only a very few people will ever observe in their lifetimes. <br /><br /> It's also possible to photograph Venus in broad daylight. The photo at the top was taken at 14:30 Pacific Standard Time on March 13th, 1988, with Ektachrome 200 film through an 80mm Brandon apochromatic refractor with the image projected onto the film plane of a Nikkormat camera by a Brandon 20mm focal length wide-angle eyepiece. The shutter speed was 1/250 second. The slide from which the above image was scanned was taken from Muir Beach, California (37°52'N 122°35'W). <br /><br />So far, I've failed to capture Venus through a normal lens when the Sun was unobscured in the sky, though I've taken several slides which, if summed, might possibly reveal Venus. The problem is that the image of Venus through a normal lens is on the order of the grain size of Ektachrome film, so it's hard to dig the image of Venus out of the random grain pattern of the resulting slides. Using finer grain films such as Kodachrome 25 and red filters which enhance the contrast of white Venus against the blue sky may help. If you succeed in photographing Venus in the daytime with a normal lens, let me know; I'll be happy to publish your pictures here with full attribution and/or link to your page containing the photos. <br /><br />Once you've found Venus in the daytime sky, it's a rewarding telescopic object at high magnifications. Waning gibbous Venus against a brilliant blue sky is a sight few people have seen. The bright background actually makes the phase easier to see than at night when the glare of Venus against a black sky often makes one reach for a neutral density filter. </strong>tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-87350723703077571682010-08-24T06:46:00.000-07:002013-05-29T10:25:41.835-07:00In Journalism, What is a Screamer? - Tradutor de inglês<strong><br /><br />Quando vc vê um jornal na banca de revistas, geralmente uma manchete chama sua atenção e aí vc chega e compra este jornal porque havia algo escrito que vc considerou importante. Justamente esta manchete sensacionalista é um screamer, assunto apelativo que atrai a atenção do leitor. Para vc praticar seu inglês mais um texto informativo que disponibilizo para os queridos leitores do blog. <br /><br /><br />A screamer is a distinctive headline which has been written with the goal of drawing attention to the article beneath it. While all headlines arguably serve this function, screamers demand attention, insisting that readers turn to the article in question immediately and without delay. Screamers are typically sensational, and sometimes specifically designed to be provocative. For some good examples of screamers, peruse the tabloids at the checkout stand, which often have a plentiful array of screamers to choose from.<br />Screamers appear on the front page, because the idea is to entice consumers into buying the newspaper or magazine to read what's inside. In newspapers, screamers are always above the fold, ensuring that they will be visible, and they are often larger than the surrounding headlines so that they really stand out. Screamers may also be italicized or underlined for extra effect, and some companies also allow the use of punctuation marks in screamers; exclamation points, for example, will really make a screamer stand out.<br />This term is most commonly used in print journalism, in reference to newspaper and magazines. Screamers also appear in online journalism, however, and at more adventurous sites, they may literally scream at the viewer, with the use of an embedded sound file. Screamers also show up on television, in the scrolling news feeds at the bottom of some network feeds. Urgent breaking news may show up as a screamer while the network prepares to cut to a journalist, for example, ensuring that viewers stay pinned to the network for an update.<br />Some newspapers eschew the screamer, preferring a more stately and elegant look; the New York Times is probably the most famous for its staid, unremarkable appearance. More stately papers prefer descriptive headlines which sum up the content of an article, like "Politician X Speaks at Union Rally," allowing readers to get a quick idea of the coverage on the front page, while screamers highlight the sensational content of a news item, as in "Politician X Claims 'Oil Companies Should be Nationalized'." <br />Writing a screamer, or any headline, takes talent. Headlines need to be succinct, clear, and to the point, and editors need to be careful about unintentional double entendres and glaring mistakes such as the infamous "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline of 1948, which the Chicago Tribune may never live down. In the case of a screamer, more journalistic license is involved, and the editor may generate a headline which punches up tension to draw the eyes.<br /><br />Para mais informações sobre tradução de inglês técnico entre em contato comigo: celinomenezes@gmail.com Cobro apenas 5 reais pela tradução do inglês para português. </strong>

Depois de 30 anos de controversias e teorias absurdas, muitos físicos hoje admitem que os buracos negros não existem. Boa notícia, já estamos começando a fazer progresso neste campo, porque quando os cientistas abandonam uma teoria e seguem para outra é sinal que tem a mente aberta para outras possibilidades e é assim que a ciência evolui ao longo dos séculos. Neste texto da Sciencia Now, já se admite que o fenomeno do suposto buraco negro nada mais é o que sobrou de uma estrela outrora ativa que agora possui um grande poder gravitacional mas não infinito e que agora atrai objetos ao seu redor. Algo muito mais sensato, simples e plausível de se entender. Para vc praticar seu inglês segue este excelente texto informativo. <br /><br /><br />Black Holes Don’t Exist, Say Physicists<br /><br /><br /> Well-known science commentator and intelligent design foe Lawrence<br />Krauss has published an intriguing paper that dispenses with a major contradiction in black hole theory by arguing that black holes as commonly described cannot exist.<br /><br />Black holes are presumed to possess infinitely strong gravity, a property that gives rise to a famous problem first pointed out by<br />Stephen Hawking in 1974. Due to random particle movements posited by quantum theory, black holes should slowly evaporate as particle-antiparticle pairs flit into existence at a point straddling the event horizon, where gravity is so strong even light can’t escape.<br /><br />In Hawking’s scenario, one partner in the pair should fall into the hole, while the other should make it free, if only barely. Thus, over billions and trillions of years, the block hole should lose mass.<br /><br /><br />This predicted phenomenon, dubbed Hawking radiation, has never been observed; but it has stumped physicists for more than three decades. "How can black holes be both airtight and leaky?" asks ScienceNOW, in a report published Wednesday.<br /><br />Krauss’s answer: Hawking’s riddle is a trick question. Due to the relative nature of time under Einstein’s general theory, time should stop at the event horizon. Anything that approaches, therefore, should come to a halt before it falls into the black hole, effectively preventing the black hole from forming in the first place.<br /><br />What we think are black holes, says Krauss in a paper co-authored with colleagues at Case Western Reserve, could be misidentified remnants of stars possessing a tremendous — but not infinite — amount of gravity</strong>tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-13331778238687099872010-08-19T05:08:00.000-07:002010-08-19T05:17:17.093-07:00What is a Spelunker? - Tradutor de Inglês<strong>What Is a Spelunker?<br /><br />Em português "espelunca" significa •cavidade profunda no solo; caverna, cova, o mesmo se aplica em inglês, então spelunker é o termo usado para explorador de cavernas, mas sem preparo técnico, um simples amador ou melhor um amante de cavernas, aquele que explora por hobby, segue aqui mais um texto para vc praticar seu inglês e enriquecer seu vocabulário. Boa leitura!<br /><br />A spelunker is a person who explores caves as a hobby. Two other terms applied to those who partake in cave exploration are caver and speleologist. However, the latter two terms are generally reserved for those with extensive training and education in the science of caving. Spelunkers are usually amateurs who don't follow any specific guidelines for traversing the passages of caves to retrieve data for scientific study. Drawn to the mystery of the unexplored and uncharted, spelunkers seek caves for their own pleasure and not necessarily with any specific goals in mind<br /><br />Many who are interested in becoming a spelunker join clubs or groups organized by more experienced cave explorers, such as the National Speleological Society (NSS). The NSS organizes caving clubs that promote the preservation of caves, interest in the science of caving, and advancement in the study of caves. These clubs also plan caving trips that allow for safer exploration, as a lone spelunker would be taking a huge risk. It is always best to have a group large enough to allow for some to remain outside the cave, lest the participants inside the cave run into trouble and require a rescue.<br /><br />Safety is a primary concern for spelunkers. The biggest risks are falling, being hit by a falling object, and hypothermia. Caves are dark and often damp, making surfaces slippery and range of vision limited. This means a spelunker must move carefully and deliberately and ensure proper footwear and gear is worn at all times. A helmet is required to reduce the risk of injury from falling objects, and warm clothing is essential in case a spelunker gets separated from the group and stuck in a cold cave for a longer time than originally anticipated. Spelunkers should also be sure to bring a first aid kit, food, water, and light. <br /><br /><br />Some of the basic tenets of safe and responsible cave exploration are to form groups of four to six spelunkers, establish a time limit before entering a cave, and tell additional parties about the caving trip. Spelunkers must be in relatively good shape as many caves require climbing, squeezing through tight passages, and sometimes using ropes to descend into pits. Novice spelunkers should always include more experienced cavers in the group and start with well known caves that are less likely to have surprise obstacles. Most importantly, new spelunkers should remember to stay with the group at all times.</strong>tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-91890829566994241892010-08-11T08:38:00.000-07:002010-08-11T09:20:39.932-07:00Buracos negros não existem - Tradutor de Inglês<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o8pj8HtRKaY/TGLNul5224I/AAAAAAAAALo/ctvVJ47uemI/s1600/imagem.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 272px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o8pj8HtRKaY/TGLNul5224I/AAAAAAAAALo/ctvVJ47uemI/s320/imagem.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504187894932626306" /></a><br /><strong>Novo cálculo sugere que buracos negros não <br /><br />existem<br /><br /><br />É um assunto bastante interessante! Nunca concordei com a existência dos buracos negros. Pois, acho tudo isso um absurdo e me admira muito porque tantos cientistas concordam com este disparate. Mas um alivio e uma luz no fim do tunel começam finalmente a aparecer e muitos cientistas estão agora contestando esta teoria absurda. Muitos já dizem que eles não existem, que são fisicamente impossíveis! Então para a nossa alegria, este fenômeno que há no espaço que muitos astrônomos já observaram precisa ser revisto e outra explicação deve ser elaborada para responder nossas indagações sobre o que realmente esta ocorrendo no universo. Com isso posso afirmar aqui que não há um buraco negro no centro da via láctea, o que existe lá é simplesmente uma grande energia acumulada e que sofre uma grande pressão por causa da rotãção imensa da galáxia. Tudo isso explica os fenômenos observados lá pelas sondas de rádio, raios x e gama, etc. Queira deus que num futuro não muito distante poderemos ter uma prova irrefutável da não existencia de buracos negros e poderemsos jogar definitivamente por terra toda esta crença absurda propagada nos últimos 30 anos. Seguem trechos abaixo confirmando minhas suspeitas sobre esta teoria ridícula. <br /><br /><br />Combinando teorias de Albert Einstein e <br /><br />Stephen Hawking, equipe de cientistas <br /><br />sugere que os buracos negros se desintegram <br /><br />antes de mesmo de nascer. <br /><br />Se um novo conjunto de cálculos envolvendo <br /><br />a Teoria Geral da Relatividade de Einstein <br /><br />estiver correto, buracos negros não podem <br /><br />existir: eles simplesmente não teriam tempo <br /><br />suficiente para se formar neste Universo. <br /><br />O trabalho, realizado por uma equipe <br /><br />liderada pelo físico Lawrence Krauss, da <br /><br />Case Western Reserve University (EUA), <br /><br />sugere que a matéria caindo em direção ao <br /><br />horizonte de eventos - o limite teórico que <br /><br />separaria o buraco negro do restante do <br /><br />espaço - viaja tão rápido que o tempo, para <br /><br />ela, literalmente pára: nenhum corpo jamais <br /><br />conseguiria cruzar o horizonte, nem mesmo a <br /><br />matéria que deveria compor o buraco negro <br /><br />em primeiro lugar. O trabalho será <br /><br />publicado na revista Physical Review D. <br /><br />Esse fenômeno, no qual o tempo passa mais <br /><br />devagar para corpos que se movem em altas <br /><br />velocidades, é previsto pela Relatividade <br /><br />Geral<br />e já foi observada em vários contextos. <br /><br />Combinando o efeito da relatividade com a <br /><br />chamada radiação de Hawking - prevista em <br /><br />teoria pelo físico Stephen Hawking, essa <br /><br />radiação pode provocar a lenta evaporação <br /><br />de um buraco negro - a equipe de Krauss <br /><br />conclui que as estruturas que deveriam dar <br /><br />origem aos buracos negros simplesmente <br /><br />desintegram-se antes de ter tempo de <br /><br />criá-lo. <br /><br />Krauss argumenta que os fenômenos que vêm <br /><br />sendo atribuídos a buracos negros pelos <br /><br />astrofísicos, nas últimas décadas, poderiam <br /><br />ser explicados por outros corpos de enorme <br /><br />atração gravitacional. <br /><br />Ouvida pelo serviço noticioso ScienceNow, <br /><br />da revista Science, a astrônoma Kimberly <br /><br />Weaver, do Centro de Vôo Espacial Goddard, <br /><br />da Nasa, diz que o problema com a teoria de <br /><br />Krauss é que nada parecido jamais foi <br /><br />observado: nos locais onde aparentemente há <br /><br />buracos negros, o que os astrônomos vêem é, <br /><br />de fato, matéria desaparecendo sem deixar <br /><br />rastro. Além disso, ela lembra que a <br /><br />radiação de Hawking, embora tenha uma base <br /><br />teórica sólida, nunca foi observada. <br /><br /><br /> Buraco negro não existe, diz trio de <br /><br />físicos dos EUA <br /> <br />Pesquisadores propõem solução para enigma <br /><br />elaborado por Stephen Hawking. Estudo é <br /><br />debatido há um ano e passou pelo crivo de <br /><br />publicação rigorosa; autor diz que pode <br /><br />testar idéia em acelerador de partículas <br /><br /><br />Rafael Garcia escreve para a “Folha de SP”:<br /><br />Um trio de físicos está propondo uma <br /><br />solução inusitada para um enigma que <br /><br />desafia a ciência há mais de 30 anos. <br /><br />Tanto a elaboração do problema quanto a <br /><br />solução oferecida são bastante complexos, <br /><br />mas o resultado final de tudo pode ser <br /><br />resumido de maneira simples: buracos negros <br /><br />não existem.<br /><br />A alegação, afirmam seus autores, é a <br /><br />resposta para um enigma proposto pelo <br /><br />britânico Stephen Hawking, mais conhecido <br /><br />como autor do livro "Uma Breve História do <br /><br />Tempo", portador de uma doença neurológica <br /><br />que o deixou paralisado.<br /><br />A inexistência dos buracos negros foi <br /><br />proposta por grupo de físicos da <br /><br />Universidade Case, de Cleveland (EUA), em <br /><br />um estudo que já está circulando há alguns <br /><br />meses entre a comunidade de físicos <br /><br />teóricos. <br /><br />Só agora, porém, o trabalho foi aceito para <br /><br />publicação em uma revista com um crivo <br /><br />rigoroso, a "Physical Review D".<br /><br />Com 15 páginas cheias de equações e <br /><br />diagramas, Dejan Stojkovic, Lawrence Krauss <br /><br />e Tanmay Vachaspati detalham a sua proposta <br /><br />de solução para o que os físicos conhecem <br /><br />como o "paradoxo da informação".<br /><br />O problema está ligado à natureza dos <br /><br />buracos negros, objetos cósmicos tão <br /><br />maciços que sua gravidade captura tudo o <br /><br />que está em volta e não deixam escapar nada <br /><br />-nem mesmo a luz.<br /><br />Segundo a concepção clássica, buracos <br /><br />negros são produzidos quando uma estrela <br /><br />maciça demais implode. Toda sua massa fica <br /><br />concentrada em um ponto de dimensão zero, <br /><br />chamado de "singularidade". <br /><br />Nada que se aproxime além de uma certa <br /><br />fronteira, chamada de "horizonte de <br /><br />eventos", escapa à fome do mostro.<br /><br />Morte impossível<br /><br />O problema é que esse conceito entra em <br /><br />conflito com a física quântica, conforme o <br /><br />paradoxo proposto por Hawking em 1974. <br /><br />Segundo ele, um buraco negro não é um <br /><br />monstro imortal que só faz crescer. <br /><br />Se esses objetos cósmicos ficarem muito <br /><br />tempo sem nada para engolir, eles acabam <br /><br />perdendo massa na forma de radiação e <br /><br />finalmente morrem. <br /><br />O problema é que essa morte aniquilaria <br /><br />toda a informação contida na matéria <br /><br />engolida pelo buraco negro. Isso vai contra <br /><br />leis básicas da física quântica, segundo a <br /><br />qual a informação pode ser transformada, <br /><br />mas nunca aniquilada.<br /><br />Ao propor que buracos negros não existem, o <br /><br />grupo de Krauss oferece uma solução para o <br /><br />enigma. <br /><br />"Se estivermos corretos, nenhuma informação <br /><br />será perdida ao atravessar o horizonte de <br /><br />eventos de um buraco negro, porque esse <br /><br />horizonte jamais se formaria", disse Krauss <br /><br />à “Folha de SP”.<br /><br />"Nós tivemos um bocado de discussão com <br /><br />muitos colegas, e muitos deles estão <br /><br />céticos, mas até agora ninguém conseguiu <br /><br />oferecer uma razão definitiva pela qual <br /><br />isso não esteja correto."<br /><br />Apesar aceito pela "Phisical Review", <br /><br />porém, o novo estudo ainda deve passar pelo <br /><br />crivo da comunidade científica para deixar <br /><br />de ser tido como proposta intelectualmente <br /><br />isolada.<br /><br />Segundo o físico Daniel Vanzella, professor <br /><br />da USP de São Carlos, não é a primeira vez <br /><br />que alguém postula a inexistência de <br /><br />buracos negros.<br /><br />Mas, na maioria das vezes em que isso <br /><br />ocorreu num passado recente, físicos não <br /><br />demoraram a encontrar erros em contas ou <br /><br />problemas de interpretação nos estudos.<br /><br />"Na minha opinião, esse trabalho merece uma <br /><br />análise mais cautelosa", afirma. <br /><br />"Certamente a comunidade vai olhar com <br /><br />carinho e cuidado esse paper [estudo]."<br /><br />O físico Marcelo Gleiser, professor do <br /><br />Dartmouth College (EUA) e colunista da <br /><br />“Folha de SP”, classificou o novo trabalho <br /><br />como "interessante" e "elegante", mas <br /><br />"inconclusivo". <br /><br />"Talvez seja um passo na direção certa, mas <br /><br />falta muito para se concluir se de fato não <br /><br />existe paradoxo de informação", afirmou. <br /><br />"Como todas as novas idéias em ciência, <br /><br />ainda é cedo para concluirmos algo de <br /><br />concreto."<br /><br />Buraco mais embaixo<br /><br />Como afinal de contas o grupo de Krauss <br /><br />(também conhecido com autor de livros de <br /><br />ciência para leigos, como "A física de <br /><br />Jornada nas Estrelas") conseguiu "destruir" <br /><br />os buracos negros? E que são, afinal, os <br /><br />objetos escuros e maciços que os astrônomos <br /><br />acreditam ser buracos negros?<br /><br />"Estamos propondo que objetos colapsados <br /><br />que parecem ser buracos negros nascentes, <br /><br />na verdade, não vão se contrair além de <br /><br />seus próprios horizontes de eventos, e <br /><br />portanto não se tornarão buracos negros <br /><br />verdadeiros", diz Krauss.<br /><br />Segundo ele, a matéria concentrada no local <br /><br />evaporaria toda na forma de radiação, assim <br /><br />como Hawking previu, só que antes de o <br /><br />buraco negro se formar. O que existiria, <br /><br />então, é uma espécie de "quase-buraco <br /><br />negro".<br /><br />"Mas nossos resultados são mesmo <br /><br />sugestivos, não conclusivos", afirma o <br /><br />físico americano. "Mandamos o artigo para o <br /><br />Stephen [Hawking], mas ele ainda não <br /><br />respondeu."<br /><br />Segundo Gleiser, um dos problemas de <br /><br />extrair muitas interpretações do novo <br /><br />artigo é que os autores usam um modelo <br /><br />matemático "muito idealizado" para <br /><br />descrever o colapso de um estrela, um <br /><br />fenômeno extremamente complexo. <br /><br />"Uma estrela é maciça, e eles pegam um <br /><br />sistema muito mais simples que isso, que é <br /><br />como se fosse uma casca esférica <br /><br />colapsando", diz Vanzella.<br /><br />Além da simplificação, Krauss interpretou <br /><br />seus cálculos da perspectiva de um <br /><br />observador externo, para solucionar um <br /><br />problema ligado à teoria da relatividade.<br /><br />"Um observador longe de um objeto em <br /><br />colapso o veria "congelar" à medida que <br /><br />começasse a se aproximar do limite de se <br /><br />tornar um buraco negro", explica.<br /><br />"O relógio de um observador externo anda <br /><br />num ritmo diferente daquele de alguém que <br /><br />está caindo lá."<br /><br />Segundo os autores, a conclusão poderá ser <br /><br />testada no LHC, o mega-acelerador de <br /><br />partículas a ser inaugurado em 2008. Essa <br /><br />maquina será capaz de produzir minúsculos <br /><br />buracos negros (ou o que quer que sejam). <br /><br />O tipo de radiação que emitirem revelará o <br /><br />que são.<br /> </strong>tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-30502111509366359552010-07-29T06:05:00.000-07:002010-07-29T06:14:21.690-07:00Vento Solar - Tradutor de Inglês<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o8pj8HtRKaY/TFF-ei5D-3I/AAAAAAAAALQ/le5dBc0EqdQ/s1600/sol.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o8pj8HtRKaY/TFF-ei5D-3I/AAAAAAAAALQ/le5dBc0EqdQ/s320/sol.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499315683223403378" /></a><br />O Vento Solar está no seu valor mais baixo dos últimos 50 anos<br /><br /><br />Segundo dados recentemente recolhidos, a atividade do Vento Solar é atualmente a mais baixa dos últimos cinquenta anos. Os dados foram recolhidos pela sonda Ulysses das agências espaciais europeia ESA e da norte-americana NASA. Esta redução tão significativa do Vento Solar pode revelar-se como extremamente importante para a Terra… Desde logo porque está a implicar uma diminuição da Helioesfera e logo, da proteção das defesas naturais da Terra contra a radiação cósmica de alta energia… A mesma que poderá ameaçar seriamente qualquer missão que o Homem envie para o Sistema Solar exterior e que irá ameaçar a saúde dos astronautas que um dia enviaremos a Marte.<br />A sonda foi lançada em 1990 pelo vaivém espacial Discovery mas aproxima-se rapidamente do fim da sua vida, já que o reator nuclear de plutónio ficará exausto nos próximos meses. Embora tenha apenas uma fracção da potencia anterior, a sonda ainda conseguiu identificar este abrandamento. Não há ainda provas diretas da redução da esfera de influência da Helioesfera, mas com a redução da sua pressão do vento solar todos os modelos teóricos deduzem que a heliosfera vai também diminuir de extensão e força. A redução verificada foi da ordem dos 20%, em relação aos primeiros números, recolhidos pela sonda em 1994, o que indica que esta redução está a acontecer de forma acelerada nos últimos anos. É provável que exista uma relação de causalidade entre este fenómeno e o mínimo de atividade solar registado também nos últimos meses, o qual, também ele é uma anomalia em relação aos dados conhecidos.<br />Em suma, os dados recolhidos pela Ulysses, para além de servirem para provar a utilidade prática destas sondas demonstram que se o Aquecimento Global não está ainda a provocar as consequências dramáticas e radicais que poderia se o nosso Sol se encontrasse num ciclo normal de atividade. Indica também que logo que a presente fase baixa do ciclo solar terminar, irão aumentar os problemas com satélites (avarias e interferências) e sistemas de comunicação terrestres.<br />Fontes:<br />http://www.universetoday.com/2008/09/25/solar-systems-protective-shield-is-weakening-solar-wind-velocity-at-record-low/<br />http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vento_solarhttp://ulysses.jpl.nasa.gov/<br /><br />tradutor de inglês - entre em contato celinomenezes@gmail.com (35) 9945-8512tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-14515594671883089072010-07-25T08:41:00.000-07:002010-07-25T08:43:59.281-07:00What Is a Terrestrial Planet? - Tradutor de Inglês<strong><br /><br /><br />Os planetas terrestres são mercúrio, Venus, terra e marte. Possuem orbitas próximas, não possuem anéis, ficam próximos ao sol, possuem poucas luas e seu campo magnético é fraco. Para praticar seu inglês leia com atenção este texto que fala sobre estes planetas! <br /><br /><br />A terrestrial planet is a term used to describe the four planets in the solar system that are closest to the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These four planets are composed primarily of rock and have solid surfaces. The word terrestrial is derived from the Latin word terra, meaning ground or soil. <br /><br />Besides a rocky, solid composition, the terrestrial planets share certain similar characteristics: <br /><br />They are close to the sun. <br />They either have no moons or few moons. <br />They all have weak magnetic fields. <br />They all have closely spaced orbits. <br />None of the planets have rings around them.<br />The four other major planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, in the solar system are referred to as gas planets or Jovian planets, after the planet Jupiter which is the largest planet in the solar system. The gas planets are much larger than the terrestrial planets and are composed mainly of gas and liquid. <br /><br />In contrast to the terrestrial planets, some characteristics of the gas planets are: <br /><br />They are all farther away from the sun. <br />They have multiple moons. <br />They all possess strong magnetic fields. <br />There is a greater distances between orbits. <br />They all have some form of rings orbiting each planet.<br /><br />Mercury is the smallest terrestrial planet and is the closest planet in the solar system to the Sun. The surface temperature of the planet ranges from a high of 840° Fahrenheit (450° Celsius) to possible low of -275° Fahrenheit (-170° Celsius). Mercury was named after the Roman god Mercury, who was regarded to be the speedy messenger between the gods, because the planet seemed to move so quickly in the sky. <br /><br />Venus is the second planet from the Sun and its size is very similar to that of the Earth. Venus is surrounded by a heavy, dense atmosphere mostly composed of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide layer allows heat to enter the planet but does not allow heat to leave, causing a greenhouse effect. The net result of this is that the high temperature of Venus, which is 900° Fahrenheit (482° Celsius), is actually greater than that of Mercury. <br /><br />Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the only known planet to harbor life in the universe. Earth is the largest terrestrial planet and the fifth largest planet in the solar system. Like the other terrestrial planets, Earth has an atmosphere surrounding it. Earth also has one moon.<br /><br />Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the last terrestrial planet of the solar system. Mars was named after the Roman god of war and may have been so named because of its red appearance. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, and is the only terrestrial planet other than the Earth to have moons in orbit around it. <br /><br />Martian surface temperatures can range from a low of -207° Fahrenheit (-133° Celsius) to a high of 80° Fahrenheit (27° Celsius). Like Venus, Mars has an atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide. The greenhouse effect on Mars is much less than that of Venus, however. On 31 July 2008, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that its Phoenix Mars Lander identified water in a Martian soil sample. <br /><br />Para tradução de textos em inglês entre em contato comigo : celinomenezes@gmail.com no msn: celinomenezes@pop.com.br </strong>tradutor de inglês técnicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044479876253854538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962392001184661171.post-53572912081879476192010-06-26T07:12:00.000-07:002010-06-26T07:21:05.018-07:00Orquestra filarmônica de Minas Gerais - Tradutor de Inglês<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o8pj8HtRKaY/TCYMgO0so-I/AAAAAAAAAK4/SYSbNw9GIfg/s1600/orq.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o8pj8HtRKaY/TCYMgO0so-I/AAAAAAAAAK4/SYSbNw9GIfg/s320/orq.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487086943872000994" /></a><br />Orquestra filarmônica de Minas Gerais<br />Regente - Fabio Mechetti <br /><br />Sexta-feira, 25 de junho de 2010, 20:30 h, praça da saudade, Alfenas conheceu o melhor da musica clássica que uma orquestra já apresentou aqui.
