Have you already set your goals for the New Year? Do you want to lose 10 kilos, run a marathon or speak fluent English? Some experts believe that you need systems, not goals. A system is something you do on a regular basis. This means focusing on what you can control (your actions) rather than what you can’t (the unpredictable). For example, don’t focus on losing 10 kilos, focus on shopping for healthy food and cooking something light every day. Don’t focus on the marathon; focus on the training schedule. Invent a system to improve your English, one step at a time. Good luck!

Trump Administration Rescinds Rules on Bathrooms for Transgender Students
By JEREMY W. PETERS, JO BECKERand
JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
In a joint letter, the top civil rights officials from the Justice Department and the Department of Education rejected the Obama administration’s position that nondiscrimination laws require schools to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms of their choice.
That directive, they said, was improperly and arbitrarily devised, “without due regard for the primary role of the states and local school districts in establishing educational policy.”
The question of how to address the bathroom debate, as it had become known, opened a rift inside the Trump administration, pitting Education Secretary Betsy DeVos against Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Mr. Sessions, who had been expected to move quickly to roll back the civil rights expansions put in place under his Democratic predecessors, was insistent that his Justice Department act decisively on the issue because of two pending court cases that could have upheld the protections and pushed the government into further litigation.
But Ms. DeVos initially resisted signing off and told Mr. Trump that she was uncomfortable because of the potential harm that rescinding the protections could cause transgender students, according to three Republicans with direct knowledge of the internal discussions.

Trump Administration Rescinds Rules on Bathrooms for Transgender Students
Administração Trump revoga regras sobre banheiros para estudantes transgêneros
By JEREMY W. PETERS, JO BECKERand
JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
WASHINGTON — President Trump rescinded protections for transgender students that had allowed them to use bathrooms of their gender identity, overruling his own education secretary and placing his administration firmly in the middle of the culture wars that many Republicans have tried to leave behind.
WASHINGTON - O presidente Trump revogou as proteções para estudantes transgêneros que permitiam que eles usassem banheiros de sua identidade de gênero, anulando seu próprio secretário de educação e colocando seu governo firmemente no meio das guerras culturais que muitos republicanos tentaram deixar para trás.In a joint letter, the top civil rights officials from the Justice Department and the Department of Education rejected the Obama administration’s position that nondiscrimination laws require schools to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms of their choice.
Em uma carta conjunta, os principais responsáveis pelos direitos civis do Departamento de Justiça e do Departamento de Educação rejeitaram a posição do governo Obama de que as leis de não discriminação exigem que as escolas permitam que alunos transgêneros usem os banheiros de sua escolha.
That directive, they said, was improperly and arbitrarily devised, “without due regard for the primary role of the states and local school districts in establishing educational policy.”
Essa diretiva, segundo eles, foi concebida de forma imprópria e arbitrária, "sem a devida consideração pelo papel primordial dos estados e dos distritos escolares locais no estabelecimento da política educacional".
The question of how to address the bathroom debate, as it had become known, opened a rift inside the Trump administration, pitting Education Secretary Betsy DeVos against Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
A questão de como abordar o debate sobre o banheiro, como ficou conhecido, abriu uma brecha dentro da administração Trump, colocando a Secretária da Educação, Betsy DeVos, contra o Procurador-Geral Jeff Sessions.
Mr. Sessions, who had been expected to move quickly to roll back the civil rights expansions put in place under his Democratic predecessors, was insistent that his Justice Department act decisively on the issue because of two pending court cases that could have upheld the protections and pushed the government into further litigation.
Sessions, que se esperava que agisse rapidamente para reverter as expansões dos direitos civis postas em prática pelos seus antecessores democratas, insistiu que o seu Departamento de Justiça agisse de forma decisiva sobre a questão devido a dois processos judiciais pendentes que poderiam ter mantido as proteções e empurrado o governo para mais litígios.
But Ms. DeVos initially resisted signing off and told Mr. Trump that she was uncomfortable because of the potential harm that rescinding the protections could cause transgender students, according to three Republicans with direct knowledge of the internal discussions.
Mas a Sra. DeVos inicialmente resistiu a assinar e disse ao Sr. Trump que estava desconfortável por causa do dano potencial que a rescisão das proteções poderia causar aos alunos transgéneros, de acordo com três republicanos com conhecimento direto das discussões internas.
I. President Trump and Ms. DeVos don’t agree on transgender students’ rights.
II. The law in question had been implanted by the Obama administration.
III. Schools have non discrimination laws.
IV. The Attorney General and the Education Secretary agree on the issue.

Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone. The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To mitigate the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.

Para pessoas que sofrem de ALS, também conhecida como doença do neurônio motor, o movimento dos olhos pode ser a única maneira de se comunicar.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
"Os atuais sistemas de entrada de localização de olhos para pessoas com ALS ou outras deficiências motoras são caros, não são robustos sob a luz solar, e exigem recalibração freqüente e configurações substanciais e relativamente imóveis", disse Xiaoyi Zhang, pesquisador da Microsoft que desenvolveu a tecnologia.
“To mitigate the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”
"Para mitigar os inconvenientes, criamos o GazeSpeak, um sistema de comunicação ocular que funciona em um smartphone, e foi projetado para ser de baixo custo, robusto, portátil e fácil de aprender".
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
O aplicativo é usado pelo ouvinte apontando seu smartphone para o falante. Um gráfico que pode ser colado na parte de trás do smartphone é usado pelo falante para determinar quais movimentos oculares devem ser feitos para se comunicar.
The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
O adesivo mostra quatro grades de letras, que correspondem cada um a um movimento diferente do olho. Olhando para cima, para baixo, para a esquerda ou para a direita, o falante seleciona a que grades pertencem as letras que deseja. O algoritmo de inteligência artificial é então capaz de prever a palavra ou sentença que eles estão tentando dizer.

Pope Francis has some ideas on how to fix the priest shortage
“The first [response] – because I speak as a believer – the Lord told us to pray. Prayer, prayer is missing,” Pope Francis said in an interview with German weekly Die Zeit published March 8.
He called the lack of priests, to the point that some parishes are cared for by female “community leaders” in Switzerland, “a problem that the Church must resolve.”
After prayer, he recommended working “with youth who are seeking orientation. And this is very difficult, the work with youth, but it must be done because they ask for this: the youth are the great discarded ones in modern society, because they have no work in many countries.”
“For vocations, there is also another problem,” he said, “the problem of the birthrate. If there are no young men there can be no priests.”
Turning to the question of relaxing permissions for the ordination of married men and the requirement of priestly celibacy, he said that “optional celibacy is discussed, above all where priests are needed. But optional celibacy is not the solution.”

After prayer, he recommended working “with youth who are seeking orientation. And this is very difficult, the work with youth, but it must be done because they ask for this: the youth are the great discarded ones in modern society, because they have no work in many countries.”
Depois da oração, ele recomendou trabalhar "com jovens que buscam orientação. E isto é muito difícil, o trabalho com os jovens, mas deve ser feito porque eles pedem isso: os jovens são os grandes descartados na sociedade moderna, porque eles não têm trabalho em muitos países ".
“For vocations, there is also another problem,” he said, “the problem of the birthrate. If there are no young men there can be no priests.”
"Para as vocações, há também outro problema", disse ele ", o problema da taxa de natalidade. Se não houver jovens, não pode haver sacerdotes ".

Voltando à questão de relaxar as permissões para a ordenação de homens casados e a exigência do celibato sacerdotal, ele disse que "o celibato opcional é discutido, acima de tudo onde os sacerdotes são necessários. Mas o celibato opcional não é a solução ".

About Pope Francis' ideas to help the church find new priests, it is CORRECT to state that:
II. Women are motivated to be community leaders instead of priests.
