China has charged ahead with a bold effort to remake the way that government-backed money works, rolling out its own digital currency with different qualities than cash or digital deposits. The country’s central bank started testing a new electronic currency, which was named electronic Chinese yuan or eCNY, last year in four cities and have recently expanded those trials to bigger cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, according to government presentations. No other major power is as far along with a homegrown digital currency.
The effort is one of several by central banks around the world to try new forms of digital money that can move faster and give even the most disadvantaged people access to online financial tools. Digital currencies created by central banks give governments more of a financial grip. These currencies can enable direct handouts of money that expire if not used by a particular date and can make it easier for governments to track financial transactions to stamp out tax evasion and crack down on dissidents.
If the eCNY is successful, it will give the central bank new powers, including novel types of monetary policy to help the economy grow. In one possibility that economists have discussed, a central bank could program its digital currency to slowly lose value so that consumers are encouraged to spend it immediately. Also, the eCNY could immediately give the Chinese government more power to monitor finance flows because a digital currency system can record every transaction.

Leia o texto e responda a questão.
The Christmas Anti-drink drive campaign is in full
swing, but there will always be those who think they
can get away with it. Beyond the points, the driving
ban and the criminal record, how do those caught
handle the shame? Another Christmas, another
warning about getting behind the wheel while under
the influence of alcohol.
The theme of the 2019 campaign is that a conviction
can ruin a driver´s life. “That is could come between
you and Christmas” is the slogan. The criminal
record and driving ban are automatic and for those
who rely on their cars that can be punishment
enough. But what about the stigma and the shame?
Mary, a 27-year-old care co-ordinator from Torquay
in Devon, found that being convicted even affected
her relationship whit her mother. “She made me feel
really, really bad. She didn’t want to see me and
shut the door in my face and told me to go away.
That was the worst feeling ever.”
Mary, which is not her real name, says the incident
that changed her life came at the end of a “rubbish”
day at work last year, close to the anniversary of her
grandmother’s death. She began drinking a bottle
of wine at home and then went into town to continue
drinking, but on the way she hit a parked car, failed
a breath test and spent a night in a police cell. “That
was lonely and horrendous. You feel very bad about
yourself,” she says.
Lessons
“It gives you time to things over and how you could
have killed someone. You feel embarrassed
because you don’t think you could even end up in a
cell.”
She was given a £300 fine and a 16-month driving
ban. The ban was reduced to a year because she
signed up a course with the Devon Driving Course
lrun by Devon County Council, which aims to
educate drink-drivers about their crime.
The court meant she had to tell her parents the truth
and endure her mother’s cold shoulder, having
previously told her the accident had not been fault.
I don´t want people to make the same mistake as I
did. People’s silence and looks on the faces says it
all. It makes you never want to do anything so
stupid again”.
She learnt many things from the £145 course but
among them was the fact her shame, criminal
record and costs could have been avoided had she
paid £ 20 for a taxi.

Workplace Happiness
Happiness is often equated with a form of mood or
emotion. The term in the present form was defined by
Argyle (1987) as the positive inner feeling of an
individual towards a particular aspect. The term
happiness is viewed as a positive personnel feeling,
contentment, pleasure, joy, gladness and enjoyment.
Some authors view it as a moment. The term is often
confused with the word satisfaction; both these terms
are used simultaneously by many authors. The
Psychologists attribute different meanings to
satisfaction and happiness. The term is associated
with positive organizational behavior (Luthans, 2002;
Cropanzano & Wright, 2001).
The psychological explanation for happiness is a
particular moment in the transition process of
behavior. But the happiness may be prolonged unlike
the emotion in some circumstances. The happiness is
derived on acceptance of the policy or practices of the
organization. The differentiation between happiness
and satisfaction is another complex set of issues
where researchers were engaged. The Human
Development Index was developed by United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) to measure the
extent of development in response to society needs,
in Bhutan the measure for development is the
Happiness Index (Karma Ura, 2015). The World has
designated 20th March as International Happiness
Day. The Happiness at the work place is the level of
contentment of the employees and their feelings
towards work and performance. The happiness at
workplace is not to be confused with satisfaction. The
happiness at workplace is inherent to the psychology
of individual but whether it is source for satisfaction is
a research question. The factors of happiness and
satisfaction at the workplace are a debatable issue.

Leia o texto abaixo para responder a questão.
A rare plant has reappeared after more than a century in hiding.
The pinkish-flowered plant, known as grass-poly, was found growing on the banks of an old farmland pond in Norfolk.
The mystery species "came back from the dead" after seeds submerged in the mud were disturbed during work to restore the pond.
The seeds of the plant remained buried in the mud, like a "time capsule". When willows were pulled out to restore the pond, this disturbed the soil and let in light, allowing the seeds to germinate.
"There's no oxygen, it's very dark, and it's perfect for preserving seeds," says Prof Sayer, who is
part of UCL's Pond Restoration Research Group.
The discovery shows plants believed extinct can be brought "back to life" with good conservation,
he added.

Eating Poetry

Ink runs from the corners of my mouth. There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.
The librarian does not believe what she sees. Her eyes are sad
and she walks with her hands in her dress.
The poems are gone.
The light is dim.
The dogs are on the basement stairs and coming up.
Their eyeballs roll,
their blond legs burn like brush.
The poor librarian begins to stamp her feet and weep.
She does not understand.
When I get on my knees and lick her hand, she screams.
I am a new man.
I snarl at her and bark.
I romp with joy in the bookish dark.

Read the text below to answer the following question
Even the deepest, coldest parts of the ocean are getting warmer
Thermometers moored at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean recorded an average
temperature increase of about 0.02 degrees Celsius over the last decade. That warming may be a
consequence of human-driven climate change, which has boosted ocean temperatures near the
surface, but it’s unclear since so little is known about the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean.
“The deep ocean, below about 2,000 meters, is not very well observed,” says Chris Meinen,
an oceanographer at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The deep sea is
so hard to reach that the temperature at any given research site is typically taken only once per
decade. But Meinen’s team measured temperatures hourly from 2009 to 2019 using seafloor
sensors at four spots in the Argentine Basin, off the coast of Uruguay.
Temperature records for the two deepest spots revealed a clear trend of warming over that
decade. This warming is much weaker than in the upper ocean, Meinen says, but he also notes
that since warm water rises, it would take a lot of heat to generate even this little bit of warming so
deep.
It’s too soon to judge whether human activity or natural variation is the cause, Meinen says.
Continuing to monitor these sites and comparing the records with data from devices in other ocean
basins may help to clarify matters.

Answer the question according to the text
bellow
THE CREATIVE BRAIN IS WIRED
DIFFERENTLY
Scientists studying brain scans of people who were
asked to come up with inventive uses for everyday
objects found a specific pattern of connectivity that
correlated with the most creative responses.
Researchers were then able to use that pattern to
predict how creative other people's responses would
be based on their connections in this network. The
study is described in a January 15 (2018) paper
published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences.
"What this shows is that the creative brain is wired
differently," said Roger Beaty, a Post-Doctoral
Fellow in Psychology and the first author of the
study. "People who are more creative can
simultaneously engage brain networks that don't
typically work together. We also used predictive
modeling to show we could predict, with some
degree of accuracy, how creative people's ideas
were (based on brain scans) that had already been
published." Beaty and colleagues reanalyzed brain
data from previous studies and found that, by simply
measuring the strength of connections in these
peoples' brain networks, they could estimate how
original their ideas would be.
While the data showed that regions across the brain
were involved in creative thought, Beaty said the
evidence pointed to three subnetworks -- the default
mode network, the salience network and the
executive control network -- that appear to play key
roles in creative thought.
The default mode network, he said, is involved in
memory and mental simulation, so the theory is that
it plays an important role in processes like mindwandering, imagination, and spontaneous thinking.
"In terms of creativity, we think that's important for
brainstorming," Beaty said. "But you're not always
going to stumble onto the most creative idea that
way, because you might be drawn to something
unoriginal from memory, so that's when these other
networks come online."
The salience network, he said, detects important
information, both in the environment and internally.
When it comes to creativity, researchers believe it
may be responsible for sorting through the ideas that
emerge from the default mode network.
Lastly, Beaty said, the executive control network
works to help people keep their focus on useful
ideas while discarding those that aren't working.
"It's the synchrony between these systems that
seems to be important for creativity," Beaty said.
"People who think more flexibly and come up with
more creative ideas are better able to engage these
networks that don't typically work together and
bring these systems online."
To identify the brain network involved in creativity,
Beaty and colleagues recruited a total of 163
volunteers, and used functional magnetic resonance
imaging (FMRI) technology to scan their brains as
they tried to conceive of creative ideas for everyday
objects, like a brick or a knife or a rope.
The team then trained "raters" to review the
responses from participants and evaluate how
creative their ideas were.
"Creativity is typically defined as the ability to come
up with new and useful ideas," Beaty said. "We
correlated the connectivity strength in this network while they were thinking creatively with the quality
of their responses."
Based on the results of that test, Beaty and
colleagues developed a predictive model and tested
against brain scan data collected for earlier studies
on creativity.
"We used already-published data. we found that
based on how strong the connections are in this
network, we could guess pretty accurately how
creative you're going to be on a task," Beaty said.
Ultimately, Beaty said he hopes the study dispels
some myths about creativity and where it comes
from.
"One thing I hope this study does is dispel the myth
of left versus right brain in creative thinking," he
said. "This is a whole-brain endeavor."
It's also not clear that this can't be modified with
some kind of training. "It's not something where you
have it or you don't," he added. "Creativity is
complex, and we're only scratching the surface here,
so there's much more work that's needed."
