A day at work


(1º§)In the morning I attended a meeting between the management and union representatives. The discussion was very comprehensive , covering topics like working hours, days off, retirement age, etc. Both sides were interested in an agreement and ready to compromise. The secretary recorded everything in the notes. Eventually , they decided to set a new meeting to sign the final draft of the agreement.

(2º§)Back at the office, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that the proposed agreement would be partially against the company policy not to accept workers that have already retired. I pretended to be really busy and late for an appointment and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn´t want to discuss the matter at that particular moment because there were some strangers in the office.

(3º§)After lunch, I attended a lecture given by the mayor, who is an expert in tax legislation and has a graduate degree in political science. He said his government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raise funds to improve college education and build a public library and establish tougher limits on vehicle emissions because he assumes this is what the people expect from the government.

UK inflation exceeds 10% as bread and milk prices soar

By Mark Thompson, CNN Business
August 17, 2022

(1º§) (CNN Business) Inflation in the United Kingdom hit a new 40-year high last month, rising above 10% for the first time since 1982 and piling further pain on households already struggling to pay their bills.

(2º§) Annual consumer price inflation hit 10.1% in July, according to data published by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday, up from 9.4% in June. Soaring food prices - up 12.7% since July 2021 - were the largest single contributor to the acceleration in inflation, the ONS said.

(3º§) The headline inflation number was higher than predicted by a Reuters poll of economists, and food inflation is now running at its highest level in 14 years.

(4º§) "All the eleven food and non-alcoholic beverage classes made upward contributions to the change in the annual inflation rate, where prices overall rose this year but fell a year ago," the ONS said.

(5º§) The largest upward contributions came from bread and cereals, and from milk, cheese, and eggs, with notable price increases in cheddar cheese and yoghurts.

(6º§) On a monthly basis, the consumer price index was up 0.6% in July, compared with no change a year ago. Higher gasoline and diesel prices, together with rising airfares, were also to blame, the ONS added.

Why go to Yosemite (Yosemite Travel Guide, USA)


Imagem associada para resolução da questão


      One of California’s most formidable natural landscapes, Yosemite National Park features nearly 1,200 square miles of sheer awe: towering waterfalls, millennia-old sequoia trees, striking, daunting cliff faces and some of the most unique rock formations in the United States. But despite its enormous size, most of the tourist activity takes place within the 8-square-mile area of Yosemite Valley. Here you’ll find the park’s most famous landmarks – Half Dome and El Capitan – as well as excellent hiking trails through the natural monuments. Even inexperienced hikers can enjoy Yosemite: Guided tours and climbing lessons are available from local adventure outfitters. Just don’t expect to experience it by yourself. Like so many other American tourist destinations, crowds are the biggest snag to an enjoyable Yosemite vacation – approximately 4 million people visit each year. But if you go at the right time (and start your day a little earlier than usual), Mother Nature’s wonders will reveal themselves to you in a miraculous and serene way.

 Campaign overview



Imagem associada para resolução da questão


          For nature. For people. Let’s demand that the UN make it a universal human right to live on a healthy planet. It’s no secret: our natural world is in terrible shape. Our unsustainable system is causing climate chaos and putting over one million species at risk of extinction.
      How can something as fundamental as life on Earth be treated with such neglect? We need to completely change the way we treat our home. We, as do all other living beings, deserve the right to a healthy natural world.
We call on the UN to:
• pass resolutions to recognize the right to a healthy environment at the UN Human Rights Council and at the UN General Assembly, include the right as an urgent topic at the UN Summit on Biodiversity, and incorporate the right in the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework;
• ultimately include the right to a healthy environment in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 
     Join us: sign the petition to make it a UN-recognised human right to live on a healthy planet. It may seem overwhelming, but it’s true: to emerge from these crises, to ensure our future and that of the planet, we need to entirely transform humanity’s relationship with nature. This human right helps make that happen.

“Another important characteristic of the [National Curricular] Parameters that should not be overlooked is their emphasis on teacher's autonomy. This emphasis can be seen clearly in the fact that no content or method is imposed upon the teachers. What one can find are suggestions and relevant information for teachers to make their own decisions, taking into consideration the context within which they work. In other words, the Parameters do not force any teacher to limit their focus on the teaching of reading, if they believe they can go further than that” (ALMEIDA, 2012, p. 334).
