WEIGH HEY I'm a dietitian - here's 4 physical signs you need to eat MORE carbs


(1º§) Many trendy weight loss diets encourage cutting out carbs, claiming it's the secret to dropping pounds. Both the keto and Atkins diet say to instead focus ___ eating protein and fats.


(2º§) As the body has less carbs to use for energy, it burns body fat instead. But a dietician would say this is the wrong way to approach healthy eating, and potentially dangerous.


(3º§) The body turns to stored fat when there is a lack of carbohydrate, but it also eats away at protein tissue such as in the heart or muscle, The Britician Association of UK Dieticians says.


(4º§) Each food group - carbs, proteins and fats - is important for physical health. Carbs provide fibre to keep bowels moving and prevent disease. They fuel the brain and body. Without carbs, you may get a headache, constipation, bad breath or nausea. Starchy foods, the main source of carbs, should make up a third ___ your daily diet, the NHS says.


(5º§) The BDA says: "We get energy from carbohydrates, protein, fat and alcohol in our diet. "Any extra (unneeded) energy we take in will be converted to fat no matter what the source. "Sometimes people think starchy foods are fattening however, the same amount (in weight) of carbohydrate contains less than half the calories of fat. "Studies have also shown carbohydrates are better at satisfying our hunger."


(6º§) Nichola Ludlam-Raine, a registered dietitian, told Insider there is "no good reason to remove carbs from your diet". She said: "Low-carb diets have been popular for a number of years, even decades now, but reducing your carbohydrate intake can come with a cost."


(7º§) Here are four signs you need to up your carb intake: Carbs are the body's main source of fuel, so if you reduce your carb intake significantly, you'll likely notice a depletion of your energy levels, too, Ludlam-Raine said. "Our body can use other sources of fuel (such as fat), although carbohydrates are able to provide a more rapid source of energy to enable us to function optimally, both cognitively and physically," she said.


(8º§) The primary source of energy in the brain is glucose, which comes from eating delicious carbs. It can rely on other stores, such as ketones. On the keto diet, the body turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply the brain. But this isn't a sustainable source of brain power, said Ludlam-Raine. Symptoms of brain fog can include moodiness, irritability and difficulty concentrating.


(9º§) Ludlam-Raine said: "Consuming carbs alongside protein helps to support the production of tryptophan, which is then converted into serotonin, also known as the happy hormone." Ludlam-Raine said the body stores carbohydrates as glycogen ___ the liver and muscles. Glycogen is the main source of energy when you do exercise, and when it's depleted, you feel fatigued. It's no wonder that on a low carb diet, you can feel too tired to go to the gym - which isn't beneficial for overall health.


(10º§) Mikle Molloy, a sports-nutrition coach, said in a worst case scenario of "exercise flu" you'll feel out of it, with a headache and muscle aches, and just want to lie on the ground. Carbs aren't just needed pre-workout, but post-workout too.


(11º§) Once the glycogen stores hit rock bottom, they need replenishing, Ludlam-Raine said. "It's recommended to consume carbohydrates alongside protein to support recovery and enable you to feel at your best before your next workout," she said.


(12º§) Feeling achy, sluggish or low in energy when you go to the gym may signal poor recovery. Some carbs are healthier options than others. Potato is best when baked, mashed or boiled as opposed to fried.


(13º§) We all know brown bread is better for us than white - but do you know why? Wholegrain, wholemeal and brown breads are more fibrous and contain B vitamins, vitamin E, fibre and a wide range of minerals.


(14º§) The same goes for pasta - try and eat wholewheat or whole grain options. Grains, such as couscous, oatmeal, brown rice and barley, are also important sources of starchy carbohydrates. Fruit and vegetables also contain carbohydrates. Ludlam-Raine recommended getting your carbs mostly from whole grains (such as brown bread and pasta), fruits, and vegetables.

Consider the following assertives: 


I.The word "oatmeal" could be translated as "aveia" (14º§).

II.The word "once" is a preposition (11º§).

III.The word "replenishing" could be replaced by "outshine" (11º§).


Which one(s) is(are) CORRECT?

     What is the difference between access point and router?

    The router acts as a hub that sets up a local area network and manages all of the devices and communication in it. An access point, on the other hand, is a sub-device within the local area network that provides another location for devices to connect from and enables more devices to be on the network.


    Wireless routers can function as access points, but not all access points can work as routers. While routers manage local area networks, communicate with outside network systems, acquire, distribute, and dispatch data in multiple directions, establish a point of connectivity, and ensure security, access points typically only provide access to the router’s established network.

Information Security (InfoSec) defined

Information security, often abbreviated InfoSec, is a set of security procedures and tools that broadly protect sensitive enterprise information from misuse, unauthorized access, disruption, or destruction. InfoSec encompasses physical and environmental security, access control, and cybersecurity. It often includes technologies like cloud access security brokers (CASB), deception tools, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and security testing for DevOps (DevSecOps), among others.

Key elements of information security


InfoSec comprises a range of security tools, solutions, and processes that keep enterprise information secure across devices and locations, helping to protect against cyberattacks or other disruptive events.

•  Application security - Policies, procedures, tools, and best practices enacted to protect applications and their data.w
•  Cloud security - Policies, procedures, tools, and best practices enacted to protect all aspects of the cloud, including systems, data, applications, and infrastructure.
•  Cryptography - An algorithm-based method of securing communication meant to ensure only intended recipients of a specific message can view and decipher it.
•  Disaster recovery - A method to reestablish functional technological systems in the wake of an event like a natural disaster, cyberattack, or another disruptive event.
•  Incident response - An organization’s plan for responding to, remediating, and managing the aftermath of a cyberattack, data breach, or another disruptive event.
•  Infrastructure security - Security that encompasses an organization’s entire technological infrastructure, including both hardware and software systems.
•  Vulnerability management - The process an organization takes to identify, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities in its endpoints, software, and systems.


Three pillars of information security: the CIA triad

Confidentiality, integrity, and availability make up the cornerstones of strong information protection, creating the basis for an enterprise’s security infrastructure. The CIA triad offers these three concepts as guiding principles for implementing an InfoSec plan.


Confidentiality

Privacy is a major component of InfoSec, and organizations should enact measures that allow only authorized users access to information. Data encryption, multi-factor authentication, and data loss prevention are some of the tools enterprises can employ to help ensure data confidentiality.

Integrity

Enterprises must maintain data’s integrity across its entire lifecycle. Enterprises with strong InfoSec will recognize the importance of accurate, reliable data, and permit no unauthorized user to access, alter, or otherwise interfere with it. Tools like file permissions, identity management, and user access controls help ensure data integrity.

Availability

InfoSec involves consistently maintaining physical hardware and regularly completing system upgrades to guarantee that authorized users have dependable, consistent access to data as they need it.

Q4185981 Inglês
    Sappho was a Greek lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style and for her ability to impress readers with a lively sense of her personality. Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular speech and Aeolic poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. Her phrasing is concise, direct, and picturesque. 

    Many legends about her have been repeated for centuries. She is said, for example, to have been married to Cercylas, a wealthy man from the island of Andros. But many scholars challenge this claim. Most modern critics also consider it legend that Sappho leaped from the Leucadian rock to certain death in the sea because of her unrequited love of Phaon, a younger man and a sailor. She had at least two brothers, Larichus and Charaxus, and may have had a third. A fragment from Sappho that is dedicated to Charaxus has survived. One of her poems mentions a daughter named Cleis or Claïs. The tradition that she fled the island or was banished and went to Sicily may be true, but she lived most of her life in her hometown of Mytilene on Lesbos. Her work contains only a few apparent allusions to the political disturbances of the time.

Q4080032 Inglês

(1º§) The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the Yucatán around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Maya developed astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing. The Maya were noted as well for elaborate and highly decorated ceremonial architecture, including temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories, all built without metal tools. They were also skilled farmers, clearing large sections of tropical rain forest and, where groundwater was scarce, building sizeable underground reservoirs for the storage of rainwater. The Maya were equally skilled as weavers and potters, and cleared routes through jungles and swamps to foster extensive trade networks with distant peoples.


(2º§) Around 300 B.C., the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government with rule by nobles and kings. This civilization developed into highly structured kingdoms during the Classic period, A.D. 200-900. Their society consisted of many independent states, each with a rural farming community and large urban sites built around ceremonial centres. It started to decline around A.D. 900 when - for reasons which are still largely a mystery - the southern Maya abandoned their cities. When the northern Maya were integrated into the Toltec society by A.D. 1200, the Maya dynasty finally came to a close, although some peripheral centres continued to thrive until the Spanish Conquest in the early sixteenth century.


(3º§) Maya history can be characterized as cycles of rise and fall: city-states rose in prominence and fell into decline, only to be replaced by others. It could also be described as one of continuity and change, guided by a religion that remains the foundation of their culture. For those who follow the ancient Maya traditions, the belief in the influence of the cosmos on human lives and the necessity of paying homage to the gods through rituals continues to find expression in a modern hybrid Christian-Maya faith.

Politics of colour thrives in Hindi belt


(1º§) Uttar Pradesh's chief ministers are known to go into an overdrive to promote their party flags' colours. BSP's Mayawati painted Lucknow blue, SP's Akhilesh Yadav replaced it with a dash of green and red and now it's Yogi's turn to go saffron.

(2º§) Lucknow: As soon as you alight from a train or an aircraft in Lucknow, the first signage that greets you, says, "Muskuraiye ki aap Lucknow mein hain." The colour of this signage will also inform you about the party that is in power in Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow is, perhaps, the only state capital in the country where the politics of colour dominates the development projects of the city.

(3º§) The politics of colour was initially started by the Bahujan Samaj Party in 2007 when the party came to power with a comfortable majority on its own and blue become the dominant colour of official signages.

(4º§) Prof Ramesh Dixit, a retired professor in political sciences, explained the competition among parties to popularise their preferred party colour. "The parties that pursue politics of colour want their voters to identify with colours. This makes it easy for them to campaign with T-shirts and gamchas in the colours of their parties," he said. "The bureaucracy has played a major role in fuelling this colour politics. They are the ones who go into an overdrive to please their political bosses. They use this to justify the huge amounts of money spent in replacing signages and re-painting railings and gates," he said.

(5º§) For Ms Mayawati, the brain behind colour branding in politics, her election as chief minister was a time to go blue - the party's official and flag colour - with a vengeance. All road railings and signage were painted blue, traffic constables also got a change of uniform - white shirt and blue pants in place of an all white dress. Incidentally, the colour of traffic cops' has remained so since then. Under Mayawati's rule, the official phone directory also came with a blue cover and government hoardings had a blue background. The stages for all programmes attended by the then chief minister, were draped in blue.

(6º§) The BSP rallies were known for men painting their bodies in blue and carrying blue elephant replicas. When the Samajwadi Party came to power in 2012, the first decision taken by its chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was to change the colour of official signages to green. The blue colour flew off the railings and road dividers and an emphatic green replaced it. Stages for official events had bold red and green backdrop, and the official phone directory turned green.

(7º§) When the BJP came to power last year, chief minister Yogi Adityanath shunned the rival parties' colours and started the saffron revolution. Spotting the chief minister's penchant for all things saffron, the state bureaucracy went into an overdrive and got saffron curtains, saffron towels, saffron diaries, saffron hoardings and saffron flowers for government programmes and offices. State minister Siddhartha Nath Singh defended the saffron wave and said, "Saffron is a colour that denotes positivity. The rising sun is saffron in colour. What is the problem if we want to bring positivity into the government?"

(1º§)Clothing of Ancient Romans were generally simple but that doesn't mean it didn't change through time, although slowly. Roman clothing consisted of toga, tunic and stola.


(2º§)The most commonly used material for their clothing was wool but they also used and produced linen and hemp. The production of these fibers was very similar. After the harvest the fibers were immersed in water and then aired. After that, fibers were pressed mechanically with a mallet and smoothed with large combs. Fibers were then spun and woven on looms.


(3º§)While wool, hemp and hemp were produced on the Roman territory, silk and cotton were imported from China and India. Because they were very expensive, they were reserved for higher classes. From exotic materials, Romans also used wild silk that is collected from the wild after the insect had eaten its way out; and sea silk that comes from the endemic "noble pen shell" that lives only in Mediterranean. Although we think that all roman clothes were white (because of the statues), Romans dyed theirs clothes in purple, indigo, red, yellow and other colors. Leather was used for protection against poor weather (from leather were made heavy coats for Roman soldiers), but its primary use was in footwear and belts. Animal skins were also worn by soldiers. Legionaries wore bearskins while Praetorians preferred feline skins.


(4º§)Toga was probably the most significant item in the ancient Roman wardrobe. It was made of wool and was designed under the influence of the Etruscans and their clothes. Basically the toga was a large blanket, draped over the body, leaving one arm free. Reason why the free citizens were required to wear togas was to differ from slaves who wore tunics. Togas were forbidden for foreigners and fro exiled Romans.


(5º§)Tunic is adopted from the Greeks and was worn by everybody citizens, slaves and non-Romans and by both genres. Wearer's status in Roman society was shown with color and decorations of the tunic. It was worn as a shirt or a gown or as undergarments.


(6º§)Stola was traditional clothing of Roman women made of linen, cotton or wool. It was reserved for women since 2nd century BC when the toga started to be clothing reserved for men. It was a long, pleated dress, worn over a tunic. It generally had no sleeves but there were versions with shorter and longer sleeves. Sleeveless version was fastened by clasps at the shoulders. It also had belts or two that held stola.


(7º§)From the late Republic to the end of the Western empire, clothing of Ancient Rome slowly changed. After the Diocletian's reforms, clothing worn by soldiers and non-military members of government became very decorated. Their tunics and cloaks were decorated with woven or embellished strips and circular roundels. Silk was used more than ever. Bureaucrats started using pieces of clothing that were before reserved only for military. People started wearing even the trousers which was before that considered as a sign of cultural decay because only barbarians wore trousers at that time.

We can learn a lot from Troy's trash

Beneath the epic tales of heroes and gods, Troy's true story is written in something far less glamorous − its rubbish.

When we think of Troy, we imagine epic battles, valiant deeds, cunning tricks and the wrath of gods. Thanks to Homer's Iliad, the city is remembered as a stage for romance and heroism.

But long before Paris stole Helen and Achilles raged on the battlefield, the people of bronze age Troy lived ordinary lives − with extraordinary consequences. They built, cooked, stored, traded and, crucially, threw things away. And they did it right where they lived.

Today, waste is whisked away quickly − out of sight, out of mind. But in bronze age Troy (3000−1000BC), trash stayed close, often accumulating in domestic dumping grounds for generations.

Having spent more than 16 summers excavating and analysing the bronze age layers of Troy, I've learned to read the city's history this waste.

Hundreds of thousands of animal bones from cattle, sheep, fish − even turtles − were found alongside vast quantities of pottery shards, ash, food scraps, and human waste. Sometimes, these layers were reused to level floors or build walls, showing how closely intertwined daily life and refuse management were.

This wasn't laziness or neglect, it was pure pragmatism. In a world without rubbish trucks or sanitation systems, managing refuse was neither chaotic nor careless, but a collective, spatially negotiated − and surprisingly strategic − effort.

The excavations I have worked on as part of the University of Tübingen's Troy Project, which has been going on since 1988, have revealed just how deliberate these routines were. Where people chose to dump, or not to dump, speaks volumes about status, social roles, and community boundaries. Waste is the diary no one meant to write, yet it records the intimate rhythms of daily life with unfiltered clarity.

Far from a nuisance, Troy's waste is an archaeologist's treasure trove.

Over nearly 2,000 years, Troy ended up with 15 meters of built-up debris. Archaeologists can see nine major building phases in it, each made up of hundreds of thin layers, which formed as people lived their everyday lives. These layers act like snapshots, quietly recording how the city changed over time. Some capture hearth cleanings, others record the rebuilding of entire city quarters.

By analysing the layers and their ratios of bones to pottery, ash concentration, presence of storage jars, grinding stones, or production debris, specific spaces of activity become visible: kitchens, workshops, storage areas, rubbish pits. What appears chaotic turns out to be a carefully structured map of everyday routines − showing where meals were prepared, tools made, and discarded objects left behind.

The story these remains tell is one of profound transformation. Troy began as a modest agrarian settlement, shaped by the steady rhythms of farming, herding, and small-scale craft. Over time, it grew into a thriving regional centre.

The archaeological record, rich in refuse, traces this long arc of change. Exotic imports fashioned from stones such as carnelian and lapis lazuli begin to appear, revealing distant trade connections. Specialised metalworking tools emerge alongside monumental architecture. some buildings stretched nearly 30 metres, signalling growing ambitions and expanding capabilities.

This rise unfolded gradually, reflected not just in grander buildings, but in shifting tools, trade, and how people dealt with what they left behind. Waste management became more organised, with designated areas for different types of waste. This reflects broader shifts in how the community structured space and managed its economy. 

Yet this ascent was interrupted. By the mid-third millennium BC, signs that things were becoming smaller appear. Architecture simplifies, household inventories shrink, production debris declines suggesting economic slowdown or political instability.

Still, Troy endured. By the mid-second millennium BC, the city revived. Refined ceramics, luxury imports and evidence of social complexity marked a new chapter of recovery and reinvention. This splendid settlement later became the stage for Homer's Trojan War where Greek warriors faced the daunting task of climbing towering mounds of debris built up over centuries just to reach the palaces.

These insights allow us to see Troy not just as a city of walls and towers, but as a living organism shaped by daily routines, unspoken norms and social negotiation. The waste left behind is a remarkably honest archive of bronze age society − beneath myths, stones, and poetry.

Troy's trash heaps are the bronze age's search history. To know what mattered 4,500 years ago, don't ask poets − ask the garbage. From broken tools to shared meals, from imported luxuries to scraps, this waste reveals the pulse of everyday life and society's evolving structure.

Ironically, these mundane refuse layers preserved the bronze age world for us. Without them, we'd know far less about early Troy's people. Their depth and composition trace changes in economy, technology, and social structure. From scraps to towers of pottery shards, waste archaeology is key to understanding early urban complexity.

So next time you picture Achilles storming Troy's gates, remember: the heroes might have been divine, but their city smelled very human.

A professional translator working on a Brazilian Portuguese edition of this archaeological text must address the idiomatic expression "out of sight, out of mind" and decide between maintaining the English idiom with explanatory footnote, creating a culturally equivalent Portuguese idiom, or providing a descriptive translation.

Digital archeology

The City Gallery presents Filip Popov with his exhibition "Digital Archeology"

With a large exhibition, including works from his most famous cycles, the visual artist Filip Popov will exhibit in the Hall "2019" at 32 Gladstone Street from March 2 to 31.

For the first time the artist makes such a large-scale performance in the city where he was born.

The opening will be on March 2 from 17:00 to 19:30.

The topics that excite the author of the exhibition "Digital Archeology" can be deciphered in the titles of the series of works created over the past 8 years: TransOrganic, Para Bellum, Order, Posthuman, Paleomatic Monologues and Prayers to the latest series - Bunker City and Zero City. As Velizara Ivanova emphasizes in her analysis:

Combining works dating back to 2014, Digital Archeology reflects Philip Popov's continuing focus on the posthumanism and transhumanism, confronting technology and our uncertain future and insight into the way machines are woven into our tomorrow's world. "

Born in 1964 in Plovdiv, Filip Popov spent several years of his childhood in Germany, where he formed his ideas for unity between art, architecture, design and technology. He studied art at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia, moved to Basel to study at the Kunstgewerbeschule, and later lived in Zurich.

He has had solo exhibitions at EASA, West Berlin (1988), EKG, Wetzikon, CH (1993), Binz Foundation 39, Zurich (1994), Kunsthalle Liesthal, CH (1996), ArtFront Gallery, Tokyo (2005). It is presented in the most famous galleries in Sofia and the country. In 2014 he participated in the National Autumn Exhibitions in Plovdiv. Filip Popov exhibits his works in numerous group exhibitions in Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria, France.

The City Gallery presents Filip Popov with his exhibition "Digital Archeology"

With a large exhibition, including works from his most famous cycles, the visual artist Filip Popov will exhibit in the Hall "2019" at 32 Gladstone Street from March 2 to 31.

For the first time the artist makes such a large-scale performance in the city where he was born.

The opening will be on March 2 from 17:00 to 19:30.

The topics that excite the author of the exhibition "Digital Archeology" can be deciphered in the titles of the series of works created over the past 8 years: TransOrganic, Para Bellum, Order, Posthuman, Paleomatic Monologues and Prayers to the latest series - Bunker City and Zero City. As Velizara Ivanova emphasizes in her analysis:

Combining works dating back to 2014, Digital Archeology reflects Philip Popov's continuing focus on the posthumanism and transhumanism, confronting technology and our uncertain future and insight into the way machines are woven into our tomorrow's world. "

Born in 1964 in Plovdiv, Filip Popov spent several years of his childhood in Germany, where he formed his ideas for unity between art, architecture, design and technology. He studied art at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia, moved to Basel to study at the Kunstgewerbeschule, and later lived in Zurich.

He has had solo exhibitions at EASA, West Berlin (1988), EKG, Wetzikon, CH (1993), Binz Foundation 39, Zurich (1994), Kunsthalle Liesthal, CH (1996), ArtFront Gallery, Tokyo (2005). It is presented in the most famous galleries in Sofia and the country. In 2014 he participated in the National Autumn Exhibitions in Plovdiv. Filip Popov exhibits his works in numerous group exhibitions in Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria, France.

Judge the sentences below as TRUE (T) or FALSE (F) regarding translation theory and practice applied to the text "Digital Archeology."

(__)The phrase "large-scale performance" presents a translation challenge requiring the translator to consider register, domain-specific vocabulary, and context; a functionally equivalent Brazilian Portuguese translation would be "mostra de grande escala" or "exposição abrangente," prioritizing dynamic equivalence over formal equivalence to ensure target audience comprehension of the exhibition's scope and importance.

(__)The series titles "TransOrganic," "Para Bellum," "Posthuman," and "Bunker City" should all be systematically translated into Portuguese as "TransOrgânico," "Para a Guerra," "Pós-humano," and "Cidade Bunker" to ensure Brazilian readers fully comprehend the thematic content, as maintaining English titles would create unnecessary barriers to understanding and contradict accessibility principles in translation for non-specialist audiences.

(__)The sentence "The topics that excite the author of the exhibition" contains the verb "excite" which shares identical semantic range with Portuguese "excitar," making direct cognate translation appropriate and recommended, as both verbs carry the same connotations of intellectual stimulation and enthusiasm across academic and professional contexts in both languages without semantic divergence.
