(UFSM -2015) Salt Uses Tips 1Beside making food delicious, its believed there are more than 14,000uses for salt, and our grandmothers were probably familiar with most of them. A number of these uses were for simple things around the home before the advent of modern chemicals and cleaners. 2Many of these salt uses are still valid today and can be much cheaper and more environmentally- friendly than more sophisticated products. We make no guarantee about the results if you try any of these uses and tips, but there must be something to them since they have been handed down over the years in many households. Most of these salt uses have stood the test of time. Salt UsesTips: HealthBeauty Gargling Stir 1/2 teaspoon salt in an 8 ounce glass of warm water for use as a gargle for sore throats. Cleaning teeth - Mix one part salt to two parts baking soda after pulverizing the salt in a blender or rolling it on a kitchen board with a tumbler before mixing. It whitens teeth, helps remove plaque and it is healthy for the gums. Washingmouth - Mix equal parts of salt and baking soda as a mouth wash that sweetens the breath. Reducing eye puffiness - Mix one teaspoon of salt in a pint of hot water and apply pads soaked in the solution on the puffy areas. Relieving tired feet - Soak aching feet in warm water to which a handful of salt has been added. Rinse in cool water. Relieving bee stings - If stung, immediately wet the spot and cover with salt to relieve the pain. Relieving fatigue - Soak relaxed for at least ten minutes in a tub of water into which several handfuls of salt has been placed. Removing dry skin - After bathing and while still wet give yourself a massage with dry salt. It removes dead skin particles and aids the circulation. Applying facial - For a stimulating facial, mix equal parts of salt and olive oil and gently massage the face and throat with long upward and inward strokes. Remove mixture after five minutes and wash face. Americas Sea Salt Company Fonte: Disponvel em: http://www.saltworks.us/salt_info/salt-uses-and-tips.asp. Acesso em: 15 set. 2014.

(UFSM - 2013) Reducing climate change is good for your health 7More climate-friendly investments in transport, energy and housing could help prevent significant noncommunicable disease, WHO review finds Washington, D.C., 14 June 2011 (PAHO/WHO)- 8Greener investments in transport, housing and household energy policies can help prevent significant cardiovascular and chronic respiratory disease, obesity-related conditions and cancers. These are among the findings of 10a new global World Health Organization series that looks systematically, for the first time ever, at the health co-benefits of investments in climate change mitigation reviewed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Overall, 4sustainable development policies in housing, transport, and household energy may benefit health right away even if the broader climate gains are realized over years or decades. 5Some climate change mitigation measures yield broader health gains than others, says Dr Maria Neira, director of WHOs Department of Public Health and Environment. Potential health benefits -- as well as certain risks -- should be considered more systematically in climate assessments. And if that is done, we can identify strategies that are truly win-win. 2Many forms of asthma and allergies, as well as heart disease and strokes related to increasingly intense heat waves and cold spells could be addressed by more climate-friendly housing measures, the report finds. As 8other examples of best buys for health, initial findings from reviews of other sectors identify considerable evidence that: 1Investments in, and use of, safe walking/cycling and public transport networks are strongly associated with more healthy physical activity, lower rates of premature mortality, and less obesity. However, the last IPCC report focuses on better fuels and engines as mitigation measures, giving little attention to the much wider benefits offered by policies that favour walking cycling and public transport. This neglects the broader range of health and social benefits that can be derived from adopting more sustainable transport. 3Deaths of more than 1 million people annually from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to indoor air pollution from traditional biomass and coal-fired stoves are largely avoidable with more energy efficient stoves. An estimated 15% of this burden in Latin American and Sub-Saharan African could potentially be averted in less than a decade if more advanced biomass or biogas stoves were introduced at a pace compatible with UN targets for achieving universal access to modern energy services by the year 2030. This series explains why green housing and home energy, transport, and urban environments can improve our health and why the health sector can prevent much disease, at very little cost, by advocating for healthier investments in some key sectors, says WHOs Dr Carlos Dora, an epidemiologist and coordinator of the series. As much as 1180% of such chronic disease is now occurring in lower income countries, where urban growth is driving rapid slum expansion, soaring traffic volumes, air and water pollution and rates of traffic injury. 9People really cannot make healthy lifestyle choices unless they have a healthier environment, Dora observes. So we, as health professionals, need to promote basic environmental measures that cost the health sector very little, and can avoid many subsequent years of treatment. And these health savings an be captured immediately while the climate benefits accumulate for the future.

(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.

(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 -2006) HISTORY OF LOUIS BRAILLE Louis Braille was born on January 4, 1809, in Coupvray, 13a small town near Paris, France. His father was a saddler, and the young Louis enjoyed playing in his fathers workshop. When he was three, Louis accidentally punctured his eye with an awl, a sharp tool used to punch holes in leather. Infection 14eventually set in and spread to his other eye, leaving him 9completely blind. Louis developed the braille system by the time he was 15. With the support of a local priest and schoolteacher, Louis parents were determined to allow him to develop his 2demonstrated intelligence. He was enrolled in a regular school where he learn by listening and excelled in his studies. By the age of 10, he earned a scholarship to the Royal Institution for Blind Youth in Paris. There he learned to read letters that were raised on a page. 15Since these letters were made by pressing shaped copper wire onto a page, it was impossible for people who were blind to write anything for themselves. At the Institution, Louis was first 3introduced to a coded system of 1raised dots. 10In 1821, 11a French army captain, Charles Barbier de la Serre, visited the school to introduced his invention, Night Writing. Night Writing was designed for soldiers to communicate at night without speaking. In his system, a series of 12 raised dots were used to represent sounds that, when combined, would form words. It proved to be too 4complicated, and the army eventually rejected it. Barbier adapted his system for use by people who are blind, but the 12-dot phonetic system still prove cumbersome. Recognizing how useful this tactile system could be, Louis set out to experiment with a 5simplified version. Eventually, he settled on a system based on normal spelling using six dots to represent the standard alphabet. 7Louis Braille went on to become an 6admired and respect teacher at the Institution. 16But even though his system allowed people who are blind to write using a simple stylus, braille was not widely used. Plagued by ill health, Louis died of tuberculosis on January 6, 1852. In 1868, Dr. Thomas Armitage and a group of four blind men founded the British and Foreign Society for Improving the Embossed Literature for the Blind. This organization grew to become the Royal National Institute of the Blind, the largest publisher of braille in Europe and Britains largest organization for people who are blind or visually impaired. The braille code was eventually recognized for its practicality and simplicity and became a worldwide standard. Today, braille literacy is as essential as print 8literacy. In 1952, the accomplishments of Louis Braille were fully recognized by the French government. His body was exhumed and reburied in the Pantheon, 12the resting place of Frances national heroes. http://www.cnib.ca/school-package/4.htm - 07/6/05 Alguns verbos podem tornar-se qualificadores.

(UFSM -2004) Europe is born In spring 1950 Europe was on the edge of the abyss. With the onset of the Cold War, the threat of conflict between its eastern and western halves loomed over the continent. Five years after the end of World War Two, the old enemies were still 11a long way from 2reconciliation. What could be done to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and to create the right conditions for a 1lasting peace between such recent enemies? The nub of the problem was the relationship between France and Germany. 10A link had to be forged between the two and all the 5free countries in Europe had to be 3united around them so that they could work together on building a community with 9a shared destiny. It was Jean Monnet, with his unique wealth of experience as a negotiator and man of peace, who 4suggested to the French Foreign Minister, Robert Schuman, and the German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, that 8a community of interest be established between their countries, in the shape of a jointly managed market in coal and steel under the control of an independent authority. The proposal was officially tabled by France on 9 May 1950, and was warmly received by Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. The treaty establishing the first European Community. the European Coal and Steel Community or ECSC, was eventually signed in April 1951, opening up the door to 12a Europe of 6practical achievements. Further achievements were to follow until we finally reached the European Union as it is today, 7a Union now opening up to the eastern half of the continent from which it has too long been separated. http://europa.eu.int/abc/obj/chrono/40years/7days/en.htm 06/06/03 No fragmento a Union (ref. 7), h uma eufonia.

(Ufsm 2003) Texto I Water coolers to help pupils think A campaign has been launched in Yorkshire schools to encourage children to drink more water to increase their concentration. Studies have found that children who are dehydrated do not work as well in the classroom as those who have drunk the recommended eight glasses of water a day. Yorkshire Water has run a pilot project in Leeds in 1which water coolers were put in three schools. There was a significant increase in the amount of water the children drank and the company now plans to put the coolers in every primary school in Yorkshire over the next three years. One of the schools involved in the pilot was Otley Ashfield Primary in north Leeds. Head teacher Yvonne Davison said she supported the initiative wholeheartedly. All brain activity is neurological and is a chemical activity which doesnt function without water. Children who are dehydrated dont learn well. Dr Martin Schweiger, a consultant at Leeds Health Protection Unit, said dehydration in childhood can cause serious health problems in adults. If children dont drink enough water, the delicate enzyme systems their bodies depend on start to get out of kilter. And long-term problems of infection, kidney disease and high blood pressure are the price many people pay for drinking too little as a child. The time has come to take the tap water out of the toilets Kevin White Yorkshire Water http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/education/newsid, 17/6/2002.

(UFSM - 2001) BRITAINS INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE During the nineteenth century Britain was transformed from a mainly AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY into an industrial one. This change has been called the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION because of the dramatic effect it had on the British way of life. People moved to the rapidly EXPANDING TOWNS and cities, RAILWAYS were developed to transport goods around the country and by 1900 Britain had become a major WORLD POWER. The Industrial Revolution in Britain was built on the use of MACHINE in factories. Since the 1950s Britains manufacturing industries have replaced the machine operators with computers, and this automation has led to a decline in the number, of employees in manufacturing industries. More manufactured goods are bought and used than ever before but 1a lot of these goods are imported. By the beginning of the twentieth century other industrial countries, like the USA, were competing with Britains exports, and countries in the Far East have been able to provide cheaper products since the 1970s. Areas where HEAVY MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES are located have suffered high UNEMPLOYMENT. LAVERY, Clare. Focus on Britain Today, MacMillan Publishers. p. 98-99.
