    The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) manufacturing index rose to 53.2 from 51.3 in January. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. Separate data showed construction spending rose slightly in January, helped by residential construction.

    Manufacturing and construction are key to the US economy and there were fears that severe weather across many parts of the US may have hurt the sectors. Bradley Holcomb, chair of ISM’s survey committee, said that while several manufacturers said severe weather was impacting their business, “other comments reflect optimism in terms of demand and growth in the near term”. Meanwhile, data released by the US Department of Commerce, showed that construction spending rose 0.1% in January, from December. Compared to the same month last year, construction spending was up 9.3%.

    However, the bad weather conditions impacted car sales in February with General Motors, Toyota and Ford all posting declines in their deliveries. But the drop in sales was less than expected and manufacturers were upbeat about the prospects in the coming months. “February auto sales emerged from a chill in the second half of the month, positioning the industry for a strong March,” said Bill Fay, general manager at Toyota, which saw a fall in deliveries of 4% during the month. General Motors’ sales fell 1%, compared to analysts’ forecast of a 6% drop. Chrysler and Nissan Motors beat the trend with sales increases of 11% and 16% respectively.

    Analysts said that overall car sales during the month had been helped by incentives and discounts offered by dealers to lure customers to showrooms in an attempt to cushion the impact of the severe weather conditions. However, as weather conditions improve, the discounts will reduce.

How climate change ended world’s first great civilisations
David Keys
Monday, 3 March 2014
    The world’s first great civilisations appear to have collapsed because of an ancient episode of climate change – according to new research carried out by scientists and archaeologists. Their investigation demonstrates that the Bronze Age ‘megacities’ of the Indus Valley region of Pakistan and north-west India declined during the 21st and 20th centuries BC and never recovered – because of a dramatic increase in drought conditions. The research, carried out by the University of Cambridge and India’s Banaras Hindu University, reveals that a series of droughts lasting some 200 years hit the Indus Valley zone – and was probably responsible for the rapid decline of the great Bronze Age urban civilisation of that region.
    It’s now thought likely that the droughts at around that time were partly responsible for the collapse not only of the Indus Valley Civilisation, but also of the ancient Akkadian Empire, Old Kingdom Egypt and possibly Early Bronze Age civilisations in Greece. “Our evidence suggests that it was the most intense period of drought – probably due to frequent monsoon failure – in the 5000 year-long period we have examined,” said University of Cambridge Palaeoclimate scientist Professor David Hodell. The scientists studying the collapse of the Indus Valley Civilisation obtained their new evidence from a dried-up lake bed near India’s capital New Delhi which is just 40 miles east of the eastern edge of the Indus Valley Civilisation.
    The Indus Valley ‘megacities’ – some with populations of up to 100,000 – rapidly declined. Populations shrank and the old urban civilisation, which had lasted 500 years, collapsed.
    “Archaeologists get an opportunity to investigate how ancient populations responded to climatic and environmental change,” said University of Cambridge archaeologist, Dr. Cameron Petrie. “For the Indus populations, it looks as though living in large groups became untenable, and it was much more sustainable to live in smaller groups. This is of course a huge simplification of a complex process, but this transformation is the underlying dynamicˮ.

Leia o final do conto A causa secreta, de Machado de Assis, para responder à questão.
    Fortunato saiu, foi deitar-se no sofá da saleta contígua, e adormeceu logo. Vinte minutos depois acordou, quis dormir outra vez, cochilou alguns minutos, até que se levantou e voltou à sala. Caminhava nas pontas dos pés para não acordar a parenta, que dormia perto. Chegando à porta, estacou assombrado.
    Garcia tinha-se chegado ao cadáver, levantara o lenço e contemplara por alguns instantes as feições defuntas. Depois, como se a morte espiritualizasse tudo, inclinou-se e beijou-a na testa. Foi nesse momento que Fortunato chegou à porta. Estacou assombrado; não podia ser o beijo da amizade, podia ser o epílogo de um livro adúltero. Não tinha ciúmes, note-se; a natureza compô-lo de maneira que lhe não deu ciúmes nem inveja, mas dera-lhe vaidade, que não é menos cativa ao ressentimento. Olhou assombrado, mordendo os beiços.
    Entretanto, Garcia inclinou-se ainda para beijar outra vez o cadáver; mas então não pôde mais. O beijo rebentou em soluços, e os olhos não puderam conter as lágrimas, que vieram em borbotões, lágrimas de amor calado, e irremediável desespero. Fortunato, à porta, onde ficara, saboreou tranquilo essa explosão de dor moral que foi longa, muito longa, deliciosamente longa.
