(UFSM -2012) TEXTO PARA A PRXIMA QUESTO: Smart Jocks: Sport Helps Kids Classroom Performance When kids exercise, they boost brainpower as well as brawn By Steve Ayan | September 9, 2010 5Despite frequent reports that regular exercise benefits the adult brain, when it comes to schoolchildren, the concept of the dumb jock persists. The star quarterback stands in stark contrast to the math-team champion. After all, the two types require seemingly disparate talents: physical prowess versus intellect. Letting kids run around or throw a ball seems, at best, tangential to the real work of learning and, at worst, a distraction from 1it. Parents, teachers and education policy makers have pitted athletics against academics even as they trumpet exercise as an antidote to obesity and poor health. From preschool onward, teachers encourage children to sit still 7rather than scamper. Many schools have cut back on physical education to make room for the three Rs. 4And when student scores on standardized tests become of primary importance to parents, politicians or other stakeholders in the education system, educators may feel pressured to direct students toward academic pursuits and away from athletic ones. In Brief Students who are fit based on their high aerobic capacity and low body fat also tend to perform well in school and on standardized tests. 6In addition to regular exercise, brief periods of movement such as jumping or stretching 2can help improve childrens concentration. Exercise 3may turbocharge the brain by raising levels of neuronal growth factors, which foster the formation of new connections between brain cells.

(UFSM -2012) Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Orkut 1all over the place, arent you? Now find out how 3a single snap can say it all. Researchers suggesting people pay more attention to the kind of pictures, specifically profile shots, they post on their Facebook/Twitter accounts are on the rise. According to freelance photographer Tiffany Schultz, 9People dont think much about their profile pictures 21but they should because 4social networking sites 16are becoming such a huge part of our lives today. Included in Tiffanys list of absolute no-nos are the self-shot kinds (you know the ones: 5images taken with a mobile camera and part of the persons arm extending upwards into the frame) 14as well as the badly cropped ones (complete with some poor anonymous 2chappies arm flung around your shoulder). According to research, 6the photographs we share online are one of the most important methods of building relationships on social networks. 10In fact, they create 13a more powerful connection than even the words we pick to describe ourselves. Facebook and Twitter are generally seen as personal networking sites but profile pictures on LinkedIn and 17other corporate networking sites are equally important. Potential employers may not be able to access your entire profile, but 7they can definitely see your profile picture, 22Tiffany cautioned. The question is: what exactly do you want them to see? Dr Asi Sharabi, social psychologist for Cosmopolitan, feels a persons expression in his/her profile picture is a dead giveaway about his/her current status. A pouting pose, for example, would project a provocative, 15sensual symbol that indicates someone seeking intimacy or a partner; one of yourself on a carefree holiday indicates a possible tendency for escapist fantasies or over-stressing in daily life; on the other hand, 11a shot of yourself looking away from the camera would indicate a headstrong and confident approach to life. Here are a few tips from Tiffany for 8how best to create that memorable profile shot: - 19Avoid the stiff smile! Go for the after laugh smile instead 12it always works best. - Magic hours for outdoor photography: early morning or 18in the evening just before, during or after sunset. - Make the most of your assets. For example: 20Dont cover freckles, says Tiffany. Theyre awesome. Theyre you. So make the most of them. - Photographers always ask you to [put your] chin down it makes one look more flatterin that way. Even slightly raised eyebrows work too. - Avoid wearing sunglasses for a photo; theyre like stuffing your hands in your pockets you come across as having something to hide. - Go for BW shots 23if youre looking for classic and flattering. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/weekend/inside.asp?xfile=/data/weekend/2011/january/weekend_january7.xmlion=weekend Glossrio Asset = dote fsico, qualidade.
