(UDESC - 2016/1) WORLDS BEST 10 CITIES For globetrotting travelers, its easy to recognize a spectacular city. They are energetic, diverse destinations intent on preserving local heritage, revitalizing undervalued neighborhoods, and they possess distinct personalities that set them apart from other metropolises. Whether its the city youve called home for years or one you only just stumbled upon during your travels, you know that the best cities are intriguing cultural centers that cant be replicated anywhere else. Kyoto, in Japan, returned for the second year in a row to the No. 1 spot on our Worlds Best list. Readers called it the quintessential Japanese experience, offering visitors everything from history (in the form of spiritual shrines) to notable cuisine (shojin ryori) and encounters with the famed Geisha dancers. Some of the worlds best cities evoke the romanticism of travel, such as Italys classic crowd-pleasers, Florence and Rome. Both have appeared on the Top 10 Overall list for ten consecutive years. Perhaps most evident, however, are the cities that appeared on the list despite political and social turmoil. Charleston, South Carolinathe only domestic city on the overall listhas suffered greatly since the polls closed. And Jerusalem, the controversial capital of Israel, is at the crux of an ancient and ongoing conflict. Bangkok was likely bumped from the list in 2012 due to governmental unrest. Because cities are, in many ways, a great convergence of people and ideas, it is inevitable that conflicts will arise. So we keep these cities, and their people, in our thoughts, while we celebrate their resilience and their virtues. Where did your favorite city rank, and which ones should you put on your travel bucket list? These are the most dynamic, beloved cities across the globe.

(Udesc 2015) Twerking bounces into Oxford dictionary LONDON Twerking, the rump-busting up-and-down dance move long beloved on Americas hip-hop scene, has officially gone mainstream. 5Its got the English dictionary entry to prove it. Britains Oxford Dictionaries said the rapid-fire gyrations employed by U.S. pop starlet Miley Cyrus to bounce her way to the top of the charts had become 3increasingly visible in the past 12 months and would be added to its publications under the entry: Twerk, verb. Although Cyruss eye-popping moves at Mondays MTV Video Music Awards may have been many viewers first introduction to the practice, Oxford Dictionaries Katherine Connor Martin said twerking was some two decades old. There are many theories about the origin of this word, and since it arose in oral use, we may never know the answer for sure, Martin said. We think the most likely theory is that it is an alteration of work, because that word has a history of 4being used in similar ways, with dancers being encouraged to work it. The t could be a result of blending with another word such as twist or twitch. Twerk will be added to the dictionary as part of its quarterly update, 1which includes words such as selfie, the word typically used to describe pouty smartphone self-portraits, digital detox for time spent way from Facebook and Twitter, and Bitcoin, for the nationless electronic currency, 2whose gyrations have also caught the worlds eye. Oxford Dictionaries is responsible for a range of reference works, including Oxford Dictionaries Online, which focuses on modern usage, and the historically-focused Oxford English Dictionary, which probably wont be adding twerk to its venerable pages any time soon. The definition: Twerk, v.: dance to popular music in a sexually 6provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.

(UDESC -2013) English as an international language About one hundred years ago many educated people 4learned and spoke French when they 5met people from other countries. Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners. It has become the new international language. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why is this? There are many reasons why English has become so popular. One of them is that English has become the language of business. Another important reason is that popular American culture (like movies, music, and McDonalds) has quickly spread throughout the world. It has 6brought its language with it. Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? I dont know. Its important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common. Our world has become very global and we need to communicate with one another. 2On the other hand, English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings 3its culture with it. Do we really need that? Scientists have already 7tried to create an artificial language that isnt too difficult anddoesnt include any one groups culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasnt become popular. But maybe the popularity of English wont last that long either. Who knows? There are more people in the world 1who speak Chinese than any other language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language. www.5minuteenglish.com Accessed on June 19th The infinitive of the verbs: learned (ref. 4), met (ref. 5), brought (ref. 6), tried (ref. 7), is consecutively:

(UDESC - 2012) TEXTO PARA A PRXIMA QUESTO: 2012s Second Sun Earth is believed to be getting a second sun burning in the sky near the end of 2012, as the second biggest star in the universe, Betelgeuse, is dying, which will lead to multiple days of constant daylight. Many ancient cultures4have speculated about the appearance of a second sun and this event appears to1tie in very closely with the December 21 2012 predictions. Betelgeuse is the second2biggest star in the universe and the eighth3brightest in the night sky, Scientists5have determined that the star is losing mass at a rapid rate, which indicates it will go supernova very soon. The light emitted from this exploding star will be so bright that it will appear for a few weeks at the end of 2012 as a second sun in the sky. There may be little if no period of darkness or night according to senior lecturer of physics at the University of Southern Queensland, Brad Carter. Earth will experience brightness for a brief period of time for a couple of weeks and then over the coming months it begins to fade and then eventually it will be very hard to see at all, explained the Australian scientist Brad Carter to news.com.au. Scientist6have known about this dying star which is 640 light years away from Earth, since 2005. It is believed that as Betelgeuse goes supernova it will not be harmful to Earth. There will be neutrinos emitted during the supernova process, said University of Minnesota physics professor Priscilla Cushman, but neutrinos, even lots and lots of them, are only weakly interacting, so they wont affect life on earth, but that is only speculation at this point. The fact is, we as human beings have never experienced anything like this before so close to our home planet, and to be honest, we just dont know for sure what this event could bring.

Samples were treated with 0.03% sodium citrate buffer for 60.3 min. at 37.4 deg with 20.5 mg/kg poly(I:C) dissolved in 0.97% sterile PBS volume of 8.2 ml/kg If you deviate from this by one number, its not my fault when you cant replicate my results. The solution was isolated using catalyst CH2CI2/Et20 4:1 in 71% yield as a mixture of 1 H NMR (CDCI3) 7.90 (ddd, J=3.2, 5.2, 20.4 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (dd, J=0,8, 2.0 Hz, 1H) My advisor has no idea what this means. Measurements were performed with 1.74 1.74 around a field of 1.16T with (pT )/pT =0.5% pT /GeV + 1.5% I dont know why this works but this is how the previous grad student taught me to do it. Experimental kits from a commercial vendor were used and applied according to the manufacturers instructions. We wasted a lot of time trying to do it ourselves, but it turned out you can just buy it. Filter and gain settings varied with experimental conditions and objectives. We twiddled the knobs until it worked. Simulation parameters were chosen based on empirically realistic values. We made stuff up. The treated preparation was incubated overnight. I went to have a few beers with my friends. Analysis was performed using a commercially available software package. I put the numbers into this magic box and out came my thesis! Statistical significance was assessed using the Students T Test. Yes, all that just to verify it with something they teach in High School now. Jorge Cham 2012 www.phdcomics.com Accessed on: March 25th, 2012.

(UDESC -2009) THE ROSE-TREE A man had two children, a daughter by his first wife and a son by his second. His daughter was very beautiful, and her brother loved her but his mother hated her. The stepmother sent the daughter to the store to buy candles. Three times, the girl put down the candles to climb a5stile, and a dog3stole them. The stepmother told her to come and let her comb her hair. She claimed she could not comb it on her knee, or with the comb, and sent the girl for a piece of wood and an6axe, and cut off her head. She7stewed her heart and liver, and her husband tasted them and said they tasted1strangely. The brother did not eat but buried his sister under a rose-tree. Every day he4wept under it. One day, the rose-tree flowered, and a white bird appeared. It sang to a cobbler and received a pair of red shoes; it sang to a watchmaker and received a gold watch and chain; it sang to three millers and received a millstone. Then it2flew home and rattled the millstone against the9eaves. The stepmother said that it thundered, and the boy ran out, and the bird dropped the shoes at his feet. It rattled the millstone again, the stepmother said that it thundered, the father went out, and the bird dropped the watch and chain at his feet. It rattled the millstone a third time, and the stepmother went out, and the bird8dropped the millstone on her head.
