Every year, 6.5 million dogs, cats, and other former pets are abandoned or lost and enter shelters. But
of all these animals, only 3.2 million are adopted and many see shelters again after less than a year of finding a
new home.
Deciding to adopt a pet is an enormous responsibility. As such, many people choose to foster these pets as the shelters search for a permanent home. If you yourself choose to adopt permanently, be sure you are financially stable enough to support a living creature, have enough space for the pet to be comfortable, and that all other living creatures in the house (other pets, children, adults) are willing for such a big change.
With publicly available data from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Humane Society and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, we can better understand the unfortunate circumstances so many pets find themselves in, to better improve their short lives.

Inglês
Obesity is an epidemic that represents a public health challenge. According to the World Obesity Atlas
2025, the total number of adults living with obesity is expected to increase by more than 115% between 2010
and 2030, rising from 524 million to 1.13 billion. The scenario is even more concerning because most countries
worldwide lack sufficient plans and policies to address rising obesity levels.
It is in this context that the so-called “weight-loss pens” are gaining increasing traction. These are injectable medications that mimic the action of the intestinal hormone GLP-1 (and, in some cases, also GIP), increasing satiety and improving glycemic control. Initially developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, these drugs are also now among the main approved therapies for obesity treatment.
GLP-1 agonists are medications that mimic the action of the body’s natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon‐like peptide‐1), which plays a role in blood sugar control. They bind to receptors on cells – like fitting into a “lock” – and activate these receptors to produce effects similar to those the hormone itself would cause. This is the case with semaglutide.
Dual agonists work similarly but act on two different receptors simultaneously: in addition to GLP-1, they also act on GIP, an acronym for gastric inhibitory polypeptide. This is the case with tirzepatide, which acts on the brain and gastrointestinal tract to reduce appetite, increase satiety, and slow gastric emptying.
Although effective for weight loss, the rapid weight reduction promoted by these medications is not limited to the loss of body fat. Part of the weight lost can also come from lean mass, which is composed of muscles, bones, and organs.

Com base no texto, analise as asserções.
I. De acordo com o Atlas Mundial da Obesidade de 2025, estima-se que os índices de obesidade terão mais que o dobro do crescimento entre 2010 e 2030.
II. A maioria dos países possui estratégias e políticas eficazes para combater as crescentes taxas de obesidade.
III. As chamadas “canetas emagrecedoras” atuam na mimetização dos hormônios do intestino, tais como o GLP-1 e, em alguns casos, o GIP.
IV. Os agentes agonistas ou imitadores, tais como a tirzepatida, atuam em dois receptores hormonais simultaneamente.
V. A perda de peso causada por esses medicamentos impacta na diminuição da gordura corporal e não reduz a massa magra.
Assinale a alternativa que apresenta apenas asserções corretas.

Before Halo became the killer app for Microsoft's Xbox console, it was actually supposed to be a thirdperson shooter for Apple's Macs. CEO and company founder Steve Jobs even introduced the game to the world
on stage during 1999's Macworld Conference, which still had an epic theme tune and aliens but was otherwise
very different to the Halo we know now.
“We got up on stage with Steve Jobs at Macworld and we talked about it there,” co-creator Marcus Lehto remembered in an interview with Kent State Magazine […]
Looking for studios and exclusives to bulk up its Xbox launch slate, Microsoft eventually called the studio, which was at that point in a spiky financial situation. “And then Microsoft said, ‘Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you and move you all to the Pacific Northwest, and then we're going to have you build this game for the Xbox.’”
I'm guessing that was creative, incomplete paraphrasing on Lehto's part, but imagining Bill Gates and Steve Jobs embroiled in some kind of tech billionaire civil war over the rights to Halo does bring a smile to my face. The rest is history, though – Halo: Combat Evolved launched alongside the OG Xbox and the series has become synonymous with Microsoft's consoles ever since.

Autonomous vehicles — also known as self-driving cars
or self-driving vehicles — are vehicles that can navigate and
operate safely with little or no human input or intervention.
Autonomous vehicles are equipped with autonomous driving
systems that use a combination of sensors, computing, and
software to safely perceive their environment and execute
driving tasks.
Autonomous driving offers a range of benefits. One of
the most significant advantages is the potential to improve
road safety by reducing vehicle collisions, many of which are
caused by human error. Autonomous vehicles are designed
to follow traffic laws, monitor blind spots, and detect dangers
faster than human drivers.
Autonomous vehicles also have the potential to deliver
freedom of mobility for people who are unable to drive by
expanding access to transportation options. They can navigate
traffic jams and complex urban environments efficiently, which
can help reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions —
particularly as the transportation industry moves away from
internal combustion engines and toward electric vehicles.

Dear Members of the Harvard Community,
For years, the federal government’s grants to Harvard have helped lead to groundbreaking innovations. Recently, the federal government has threatened its partnerships over accusations of antisemitism on our campuses. A list of demands was issued, warning that Harvard must comply if we intend to “maintain our financial relationship with the government.” Most of these demands are unprecedented and represent direct governmental regulation of the “intellectual conditions” at Harvard.
They include requirements to audit the viewpoints of our students and faculty, and to “reduce their power” for their ideological views. We will not accept that. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. No government should dictate what universities can teach and which areas of inquiry they can pursue.
We do not take our moral duties lightly and we have taken many steps to address and fight antisemitism on campus. However, this will not be achieved by assertions of power, unmoored from the law, to dictate how we operate.
Sincerely, Alan M. Garber (President of Harvard University)

Incels: Masculinity in the Transition to Adulthood
Incels are men who are members of an online community that experiences an unmet desire for sex and blame women for their struggle. Since 2019 there have been several mass murder attacks committed by Incels motivated by Incel ideology creating a threat of future violence. While the vast majority of Incels do not commit such attacks, researchers have begun to study Incels to prevent violence and uncover the true nature of this community. The study of Incels is incipient; therefore, more knowledge about interventions to address the struggles of involuntary celibacy is needed. This paper emphasizes the masculinity strain experienced by Incels who attempt to perform hegemonic masculinity as part of the transition to adulthood but fall short because of their lack of sexual activity. This work proposes the creation and implementation of Incel-specific, online therapeutic interventions and continued research directly with the Incel community to uncover the complexities of Incel experiences.

Waiting for the day that you say you’ll be mine

Won’t you show me your heart now?
I’ll be good to you, I can make this thing true
Show me that heart right now
Who needs a lover that can’t be a friend
Something tells me I’m the one you’ve been looking for, oh
If you ever should see him again
Won’t you tell him you’ve found someone who gives you more?
Someone who will protect you, love and respect you

Admixture’s impact on Brazilian population
evolution and health
Brazil is a vast continental country home to the largest
population in Latin America and boasts the world’s largest
recently admixed population1
. The colonization process
brought approximately 5 million Europeans to Brazil,
alongside the forced migration of at least 5 million Africans
and the decimation of Indigenous populations, which once
included more than 10 million people speaking more than
1000 languages. This distinctive historical interplay shaped
a complex mosaic of genetic diversity, underscoring the
importance of detailed genomic studies. Nevertheless,
similar to other populations in the Global South2
, the Brazilian
population remains notably underrepresented in genomic
research, where there is a lack of studies investigating the
effects of this population’s admixture on its evolution, diversity,
and health status.
To address these gaps, a research group generated
2723 high-coverage whole-genome sequences of the
Brazilian population, encompassing urban, rural, and riverine
communities from all five geographical regions of Brazil.
This dataset reflects a diverse group of ethnic backgrounds,
including Afro-Brazilians and descendants of Indigenous
people, and provides a comprehensive representation of
Brazilian genomic diversity.

During the nineteen-seventies and eighties, a researcher at
the University of Washington started noticing something strange
in the college’s experimental forest. For years, a blight of
caterpillars had been munching the trees to death. Then,
suddenly, the caterpillars themselves started dying off. The forest
was able to recover. But what had happened to the caterpillars?
The researcher, David Rhoades, who had a background in
chemistry and zoology, found that the trees in the forest had
changed the chemistry of their leaves, to the detriment of the
caterpillars. Even more surprising, trees that had been nibbled by
caterpillars weren’t the only ones that had changed their
chemistry. Some were changing their leaves before caterpillars
reached them, as if they’d received a warning. A shocking
possibility presented itself: the trees were signalling to one
another.
Zoë Schlanger recounts Rhoades’s story in her new book,
“The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence
Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth.”
The contemporary world of botany that Schlanger explores in
“The Light Eaters” is still divided over the matter of how plants
sense the world and whether they can be said to communicate.
But, in the past twenty years, the idea that plants communicate
has gained broader acceptance. Research in recent decades has
shown garden-variety lima beans protecting themselves by
synthesizing and releasing chemicals to summon the predators of
the insects that eat them; lab-grown pea shoots navigating mazes
and responding to the sound of running water; and a chameleonic
vine in the jungles of Chile mimicking the shape and color of
nearby plants by a mechanism that’s not yet understood.
Schlanger acknowledges that some of the research yields as
many questions as answers. It’s not clear how the vine gathers
information about surrounding plants to perform its mimicry.

During the nineteen-seventies and eighties, a researcher at
the University of Washington started noticing something strange
in the college’s experimental forest. For years, a blight of
caterpillars had been munching the trees to death. Then,
suddenly, the caterpillars themselves started dying off. The forest
was able to recover. But what had happened to the caterpillars?
The researcher, David Rhoades, who had a background in
chemistry and zoology, found that the trees in the forest had
changed the chemistry of their leaves, to the detriment of the
caterpillars. Even more surprising, trees that had been nibbled by
caterpillars weren’t the only ones that had changed their
chemistry. Some were changing their leaves before caterpillars
reached them, as if they’d received a warning. A shocking
possibility presented itself: the trees were signalling to one
another.
Zoë Schlanger recounts Rhoades’s story in her new book,
“The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence
Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth.”
The contemporary world of botany that Schlanger explores in
“The Light Eaters” is still divided over the matter of how plants
sense the world and whether they can be said to communicate.
But, in the past twenty years, the idea that plants communicate
has gained broader acceptance. Research in recent decades has
shown garden-variety lima beans protecting themselves by
synthesizing and releasing chemicals to summon the predators of
the insects that eat them; lab-grown pea shoots navigating mazes
and responding to the sound of running water; and a chameleonic
vine in the jungles of Chile mimicking the shape and color of
nearby plants by a mechanism that’s not yet understood.
Schlanger acknowledges that some of the research yields as
many questions as answers. It’s not clear how the vine gathers
information about surrounding plants to perform its mimicry.

Nearly a century ago, Edwin Hubble discovered that the
universe is getting larger. Modern measurements of how fast it is
expanding disagree, however, suggesting that our understanding
of the laws of physics might be off. Everyone expected the sharp
vision of the James Webb Space Telescope to bring the answer
into focus. But a long-awaited analysis of the telescope’s
observations released late Monday evening once again gleans
conflicting expansion rates from different types of data, while
homing in on possible sources of error at the heart of the conflict.
Two rival teams have led the effort to measure the cosmic
expansion rate, which is known as the Hubble constant, or H0.
One of these teams, led by Adam Riess of Johns Hopkins
University, has consistently measured H0 to be about 8 percent
higher than the theoretical prediction for how fast space should
be expanding, based on the cosmos’s known ingredients and
governing equations. This discrepancy, known as the Hubble
tension, suggests that the theoretical model of the cosmos might
be missing something—some extra ingredient or effect that
speeds up cosmic expansion.
Riess and his team released their latest measurement of H0
based on Webb data this spring, getting a value that agrees with
their earlier estimates.
But for years a rival team led by Wendy Freedman of the
University of Chicago has urged caution, arguing that cleaner
measurements were needed. Her team’s own measurements of
H0 have invariably landed closer than Riess’ to the theoretical
prediction, implying that the Hubble tension may not be real.
Since the Webb telescope started taking data in 2022, the
astrophysics community has awaited Freedman’s multipronged
analysis using the telescope’s observations of three types of
stars. Now, the results are in: Two types of stars yield H0
estimates that align with the theoretical prediction, while the
third—the same type of star Riess uses—matches his team’s
higher H0 value.

Seven tips for a tidy desk
1. Only keep things you really need on and near your desk.
Use a tray for any papers you have to read. Have a jar for pens and pencils and have a bin near your desk.
2. Don’t keep any drinks on your desk.
Go to the kitchen when you want to have a drink or, if you prefer, keep a drink on a small table near your desk.
3. Reduce the amount of paper that you use.
Try to keep as much information as possible in folders on your computer. Before printing a document, ask yourself, ‘do I really need to read this on paper?’
4. Scan your notes.
If you have a lot of paper (magazine articles, notes, worksheets, etc.), make digital versions of them.
5. Use your smartphone to take photos of things you need to remember.
For example, take photos of notes to yourself, the name and address of a place you need to visit or diagrams you need to study for school.
6. Get a noticeboard.
If you really do need to keep small bits of paper, use a noticeboard on the wall. Check it every day and throw old notes in the bin.
7. Clean your desk at the end of every day.
Choose a time to tidy your desk and do it! If you do it every day, it will only take five minutes and you can start each new day with a clean and tidy space.

Harry had the best morning he’d had in a long time. Harry was careful to walk a little way apart from the Dursleys so that Dudley and Piers, [as] they were starting to get bored with the animals by lunchtime, wouldn‘t fall back on Dudley and Piers‘ favorite hobby of hitting Harry. Harry and the Dursleys ate in the zoo restaurant, and when Dudley had a tantrum because his knickerbocker glory didn‘t have enough ice cream on top, Uncle Vernon bought Dudley another knickerbocker glory and Harry was allowed to finish the first. Harry felt, afterward, that he should have known the joy was all too good to last. After lunch Harry and the Durlseys went to the reptile house. The reptile house was cool and dark, with lit windows all along the walls. Behind the glass, all sorts of lizards and snakes were crawling and slithering over bits of wood and stone. Dudley and Piers wanted to see huge, poisonous cobras and thick, man-crushing pythons. Dudley quickly found the largest snake in the place. It could have wrapped its body twice around Uncle Vernon‘s car and crushed the car into a trash can – but at the moment the largest snake in the place didn‘t look in the mood. In fact, the largest snake in the place was fast asleep.
