“One of the most interesting things to see in Brazil is the place where two rivers meet but do not mix. They are the “White” Solimões River and the “black” Negro River. They flow next to each other for six kilometers (3.7 miles) in the Amazonas State, but the colors of the water don’t mix because of different temperatures and speed – The Solimões River is faster and cooler than the Negro River. After several kilometers, the two rivers become part of the lower Amazon River”

One of the World’s 7,000 Languages Dies Every Three Months. Can Apps Help Save Them?

Like his ancestors, 65-year-old Clayton Long spent his childhood immersed in Navajo culture, greeting fellow clan members with old, breathful Navajo words like “Yá’át’ééh.” Then he was sent to an English-only boarding school where his native language, also known as Diné, was banned. “I went into a silent resistance,” Long says from his home in Blanding, Utah. He vowed that he would help to preserve it after he left the work he has done for about three decades as a teacher. This week, he’s entering new territory on that mission: the app store.

Long is one of the educators working with language-learning startup Duolingo on the company’s latest endeavor: using its popular app to revive threatened languages. On Oct. 8, celebrated in some places as Indigenous People’s Day, Duolingo will launch courses in both Navajo and Hawaiian, two of the estimated 3,150 languages that face doubts about their longterm survival. That’s nearly half of the estimated 7,000 languages spoken around the world.

Ao relatar suas vivências, Clayton Long destaca 

Dom Casmurro (1899), perhaps Brazil’s most celebrated novel, has acquired in the century since its publication what must be the longest critical bibliography devoted to any single work of Brazilian fiction. Part of its attraction no doubt lies in the enigma concerning possible adultery and betrayal that many critics have found in its pages. In the distinct stages the interpretation of the novel has gone through, betrayal has been the key issue of debate.

It is noted that Bentinho silences the character of Capitu from the first to the last page, leaving the reader in a position of passivity in front of his story. Soon, the signs of betrayal described with contempt by Bentinho cannot be considered, since they are all drawings of his mind that at times showed signs of psychic disturbance. The narrator, represented by attitudes of jealousy, exaggerates in all the described occasions. Bentinho, already Casmurro, aims to understand the events that took place between his life and that of Capitu.

The song Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Redding was right. When (Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay was released less than two months later, it became the singer’s first million-seller and first Billboard Number One single. But the legendary soul singer never got to hear the finished version of his breakthrough single: He had died in a plane crash on December 10th, 1967, almost a month before the song was released, (January 8, 1968).

(Sittin' On) The Dock of The Bay

So I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay

Wastin’ time

Look like nothing’s gonna change

Everything still remains the same

I can’t do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I’ll remain the same, yes

Leia o resumo de uma pesquisa que, em 2021, já alertava para questões climáticas e fatores a elas relacionados.

Politics of attributing extreme events to climate change

Climate change shapes weather events. However, describing it as the cause of disasters can be misleading, since disasters are caused by pre-existing fragilities and inequalities on the ground. Attribution is not neutral. Hence, analytic frames that attribute disaster to climate can divert attention from place-based vulnerabilities and their sociopolitical causes. While politicians may blame climate change, the public may hold the government accountable for inadequate investments in flood or drought prevention. To be strategic and moral, framing choices must therefore be sensitive to context and to how the values implicit within analytic frames about the causes of disasters shape policy responses. Such sensitivity requires multicausal analysis of weather-linked disasters to reduce the damages. Through examples from around the world, especially Brazil, we discuss how and why climate-centric disaster framing can erase from view—and, thus, from policy agendas—the very socioeconomic and political factors that centrally cause vulnerability and suffering in weather extremes.

“Parable of the Talents” (Octavia E. Butler)
“To survive, Let the past Teach you-- Past customs, Struggles, Leaders and thinkers. Let These Help you. Let them inspire you, Warn you, Give you strength. But beware: God is Change. Past is past. What was Cannot Come again. To survive, know the past. Let it touch you. Then let The past Go.”

Images generated with artificial intelligence (AI) are often not faithful representations of reality. The chart illustrates the level of disparity between a realistic representation of race and gender in various professions and the images generated by AI. The center line in this graph means equal representation. In one case, AI-generated images exclusively represented a certain profession as being held by white males, even though it is actually held by a range of men, women, white, and non-white people. In another case, although more than half of the people holding this position self-identified as white, AI represented it as being held solely by women who were primarily non-white.
