WHY IS HANDWRITING IMPORTANT?
Jotting down a shopping list, writing a birthday card, taking down a phone message, completing a form at the bank ….handwriting is part of our daily lives. It is on show to others and may be used to make judgments about us.
Writing has a very long history. It began as simple pictographs drawn on a rock, which were then combined to represent ideas and developed into more abstract symbols. Just like our writing today, early symbols were used to store information and communicate it to others.
In recent years, modern technology has dramatically changed the way we communicate through writing. However, despite the increased use of computers for writing, the skill of handwriting remains important in education, employment and in everyday life.
Time devoted to the teaching and learning of letter formation in the early years will pay off. Legible writing that can be produced comfortably, at speed and with little conscious effort allows a child to attend to the higher-level aspects of writing composition and content. This is important when assessments are based on written work, particularly in time-limited written examinations, which remain as a major form of assessment for many formal qualifications. Without fast and legible handwriting, students may miss out on learning opportunities and under-achieve academically.
Beyond formal education, most employment situations will involve at least some handwriting and many require the communication of critical information (e.g. medical notes, prescriptions).
Thus, handwriting with pen and paper still has an important role from early childhood through our adult lives, but more and more, people are shifting from paper to electronic modes of communication. Interestingly though, many personal computers now have handwriting recognition capability so that handwriting as means of interacting with computers is becoming more pervasive. It seems, therefore, that even in this modern age, handwriting remains an important skill for communication.

ARE YOU A FACEBOOK ADDICT?
Are you a social media enthusiast or simply a Facebook addict? Researchers from Norway have developed a new instrument to measure Facebook addiction, the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale.
"The use of Facebook has increased rapidly. We are dealing with a subdivision of Internet addiction connected to social media," Doctor of Psychology Cecilie Schou Andreassen says about the study, which is the first of its kind worldwide.
Andreassen heads the research project “Facebook Addiction” at the University of Bergen (UiB). An article about the results has just been published in the renowned journal Psychological Reports. She has clear views as to why some people develop Facebook dependency.
"It occurs more regularly among younger than older users. We have also found that people who are anxious and socially insecure use Facebook more than those with lower scores on those traits, probably because those who are anxious find it easier to communicate via social media than face-to face," Andreassen says.
People who are organised and more ambitious tend to be less at risk from Facebook addiction. They will often use social media as an integral part of work and networking.
"Our research also indicates that women are more at risk of developing Facebook addiction, probably due to the social nature of Facebook," Andreassen says.
Six warning signs
As Facebook has become as ubiquitous as television in our everyday lives, it is becoming increasingly difficult for many people to know if they are addicted to social media. Andreassen’s study shows that the symptoms of Facebook addiction resemble those of drug addic addiction, and chemical substance addiction.
The Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale is based on six basic criteria, where all items are scored on the following scale: (1) Very rarely, (2) Rarely, (3) Sometimes, (4) Often Always.
• You spend a lot of time thinking about Facebook or planning to use of Facebook.
• You feel an urge to use Facebook more and more.
• You use Facebook in order to forget about personal problems.
• You have tried to cut down on the use of Facebook without success.
• You become restless or troubled if you are prohibited from using Facebook.
• You use Facebook so much that it has had a negative impact on your job/studies.
Andreassen’s study shows that scoring “often” or “very often” on at least four of the six items may suggest that you are addicted to Facebook.

Realiza-se a eletrólise de uma solução aquosa diluída de ácido sulfúrico com eletrodos inertes durante 10 minutos. Determine a corrente elétrica média aplicada, sabendo-se que foram produzidos no catodo 300 mL de hidrogênio, coletados a uma pressão total de 0,54 atm sobre a água, à temperatura de 300 K.
Considere:
• Pressão de vapor da água a 300 K = 0,060 atm;
• Constante de Faraday: 1 F = 96500 C.mol–1;
• Constante universal dos gases perfeitos: R = 0,08 atm.L.K–1.mol–1

Dado: Ca = 40 g/mol.
Falta de educação e velocidade
Os anjos da morte estão cansados de nos recolher, a nós que nos matamos ou somos assassinados no
tráfego das estradas, cidades, esquinas deste país. Os anjos da morte estão exaustos de pegar restos de vidas
botadas fora. Os anjos da morte andam fartos de corpos mutilados e almas atônitas. Os anjos da morte suspiram
por todo esse desperdício.
Não sei se as propagandas que tentam aos poucos aliviar essa tragédia ajudam tanto a preservar vidas
quanto as intermináveis, ricas e coloridas propagandas de cerveja ajudam a beber mais e mais e mais,
colaborando para uma parte dessa carnificina. Mas sei que estou no limite. Não apenas porque abro jornais, TV
e computador e vejo a mortandade em andamento, mas porque tenho observado as coisas em questão.
Recentemente, dirigindo numa autoestrada, percebi um motorista tentando empurrar para o canteiro central um
carro que seguia à minha frente na faixa esquerda, na velocidade adequada ao trajeto. Chegava
provocadoramente perto, pertinho, pertíssimo, quase batia no outro, que se desviava um pouco lutando para
manter-se firme no seu trajeto sem despencar.
[...]
Atenção: os jovens são – em geral, mas não sempre – mais arrojados, mais imprudentes, têm menos
experiência na direção. Portanto, são mais inclinados a acidentes, bobos ou fatais, em que a gente mata e morre.
Mas há um número impressionante de adultos – mais homens do que mulheres, diga-se de passagem, porque
talvez sejam biologicamente mais agressivos – cometendo loucuras ao dirigir, avançando o sinal, quase
empurrando o veículo da frente com seu parachoque, não cedendo passagem, ultrapassando em locais absurdos
sem a menor segurança, bebendo antes de dirigir, enfim, usando o carro como um punhal hostil [...].
Cada um se porta como quer – ou como consegue. Isso vem do caráter inato, combinado com a educação
recebida em casa. Quando esse comportamento ultrapassa o convívio cotidiano e pode mutilar pais de família,
filhos e filhas amados, amigos preciosos, ou seja lá quem for, então é preciso instaurar leis férreas e punições
comparáveis. Que não permitam escapadelas nem facilitem cometer a infração com branda cobrança. Que não
admitam desculpas e subterfúgios, não premiem o erro, não pequem por uma criminosa omissão.
Precisamos em quase tudo de autoridade e respeito, para que haja uma reforma generalizada, passando
da desordem e do caos a algum tipo de segurança e bem-estar. [...]
Autoridade justa, mas muito rigorosa, é o que talvez nos deixe mais lúcidos e mais bem-educados: em
casa, na escola, na rua, na estrada, no bar, no clube, dentro do nosso carro. E os fatigados anjos da morte
poderão, se não entrar em férias, ao menos relaxar um pouco.
