Call for more help for poorest farmers
The founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates has said that the international community's efforts to fight hunger and poverty are
inefficient and outdated. He said advances made by the digital revolution needed to be harnessed to help the world's
poorest farmers more effectively.
Mr Gates said more needs to be done to support poor farmers in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. He
said there was a lack of coordination between governments, aid donors and the UN's agencies, like the World Food
Programme. Mr Gates called for the setting up of what he called a “public score card” system.
This would make it easier to tell how well, or how badly, different countries and agencies were performing in the fight to
reduce poverty.
He said the effort to help small farmers also needs to harness the power of advances made in digital technology. In an
age when satellites can tell instantly exactly how much wheat is in a field, he said, it was a shame that people were still
being sent out with pen, paper and tape measures to try to do the same job.
Mr Gates said that the stakes couldn't be higher for the families of poor farmers. If they don't benefit from the fruits of
the digital revolution they will fall far behind. But Mr Gates believes that if they can be connected to some of the latest
breakthroughs in science they will have a chance to leapfrog foward.

What is GM Food?
Genetically modified food is produced from plants which have had their genetic makeup tweaked in the lab. Scientists ―cut and paste‖ a gene from another organism into a plant‘s DNA to give it a new characteristic. This can be to increase yield or to allow the plant to exist in a more hostile environment than normal. Pro-GM scientists say this means cheaper more plentiful food but opponents argue we do not know the consequences of meddling with nature.

''A lot of people in our industry haven‘t had very diverse experiences. So
they don‘t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions
without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one‘s understanding of the
human experience, the better design we will have.'' (Steve Jobs) Which of these
statements is true, according to Jobs?

Democracy and hypocrisy
REMEMBER the opprobrium heaped on Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
Turkey’s prime minister, in June for using tear gas and water-cannon
against his people? Imagine the outrage if Vladimir Putin ordered
Russian troops to fire live ammunition into demonstrators on the streets
of Moscow. But over the weekend, when Egypt’s generals set about
killing scores of protesters, the West responded with furrowed brows
and pleas for all sides to refrain from violence. Such meekness betrays
not only a lack of moral courage, but also a poor sense of where
Egypt’s—and the West’s—real interests lie.
The shooting took place in Cairo early on July 27th near the parade
ground where, three decades earlier, President Anwar Sadat had been
assassinated. Supporters of Muhammad Morsi, ousted in a coup at the
beginning of July, were marching to demand that the army should
restore him to the presidency. Riot police (and their civilian supporters)
opened fire. More than 80 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mr
Morsi’s party, died; many more were injured.

Brazil Leader Suffers Setback on Overhaul
While the president and other politicians have publicly sympathized
with the protesters, passing major changes remains daunting and
demonstrations continue to simmer across the country. Still, some
changes have come at a surprising pace, including harsher penalties for
government corruption and rollbacks of transit fares. Legislation to put
75 percent of oil royalties toward education and 25 percent toward
health care — two areas that have been a focus of the protests — is
moving quickly through Congress.
But political change has proved sticky for Ms. Rousseff. She first called
for a constituent assembly, but withdrew the proposal under criticism from
politicians and legal experts. Then she proposed a plebiscite to be held in
time for changes to take effect by next year’s election, meaning the vote
would have to be held, and subsequent congressional legislation enacted,
by early October.

Considere as definições de democracia do humorista Johnny Carson para responder a questão:
“What Democracy Means to Me”
Democracy is people of all races, colors, and creeds united by a single dream: to get rich and move to the suburbs away from people of all races, colors, and creeds. [...]
Democracy is buying a big house you can’t afford with money you don’t have to impress people you wish were dead. And, unlike communism, democracy does not mean having just one ineffective political party; it means having two ineffective political parties. [...]
Yes, democracy means fighting every day for what you deserve, and fighting even harder to keep other weaker people from getting what they deserve. Democracy means never having the Secret Police show up at your door. Of course, it also means never having the cable guy show up at your door. It’s a tradeoff. Democracy means free television. Not good television, but free.
