The Strange Saga of Jack Teixeira Reveals New Security Challenges

A estranha saga de Jack Teixeira revela novos desafios de segurança

Moments before his arrest by armed FBI agents on Thursday, a helicopter from a local news station caught footage of 21-year-old Jack Teixeira reading a book on the sun-splashed back porch of his house in North Dighton, Mass.

Momentos antes de sua prisão por agentes armados do FBI na quinta-feira, um helicóptero de uma estação de notícias local capturou filmagens de Jack Teixeira, de 21 anos, lendo um livro na varanda ensolarada dos fundos de sua casa em North Dighton, Massachusetts.

• to catch/caught/caught.
• 21-year-old (de 21 anos de idade).

In his front yard, meanwhile, FBI agents in camouflage tactical gear were climbing out of an armored vehicle, tightening the straps of their bullet-proof vests and gripping long guns.

Enquanto isso, em seu jardim da frente, agentes do FBI com camuflagem e equipamentos táticos estavam saindo de uma viatura blindada, apertando as tiras de seus coletes à prova de balas e empunhando armas de longo alcance.

The dramatic scene playing out in a sleepy, riverside exurb underscored the peculiarity of a case that exposed military documents, complicated relations with U.S. allies, and triggered national embarrassment.

A cena dramática se desenrolando em um subúrbio tranquilo e ribeirinho, destacou a peculiaridade de um caso que expôs documentos militares, complicou as relações com os aliados dos EUA e provocou constrangimento nacional.

• a sleepy, riverside exurb (um subúrbio tranquilo e ribeirinho).

Intelligence leaks of this magnitude in the past have been the result of an alienated whistle-blower, double agent or successful spy operation.

No passado, fugas de informações desta magnitude foram o resultado de um denunciante alienado, de um agente duplo ou de uma operação de espionagem bem sucedida.

Now arguably the most damaging disclosure of U.S. government documents in a decade may have stemmed from the hubris of a junior enlisted member in the Massachusetts Air National Guard who shared them in a small online chat group called Thug Shaker Central.

Agora, sem dúvida, a divulgação mais prejudicial de documentos do governo dos EUA numa década pode ter resultado da arrogância de um membro júnior alistado na Guarda Aérea Nacional de Massachusetts, que os partilhou num pequeno grupo de chat online chamado Thug Shaker Central.

(E) was kidnapped by her mother. foi sequestrada pela mãe.

❑TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:

Alexis, 7 years old and in first grade, always got home from school around 2:05 p.m.

Alexis, de 7 anos e estudante da 1ª série, sempre chegava da escola por volta das 14h05.

When she hadn’t arrived by 2:55 on a Friday in May 2002, her mother, Ayanna Patterson, began to worry. At 3, Patterson ran to the school in a panic.

Quando ela não chegou às 14h55 de uma sexta-feira de maio de 2002, sua mãe, Ayanna Patterson, começou a se preocupar. Às 3h, Patterson correu para a escola em pânico.

“That’s when I found out that my baby never made it,” Patterson told USA TODAY. “She never made it to school.”

“Foi quando descobri que meu bebê nunca fez isso”, disse Patterson ao USA TODAY. “Ela nunca chegou à escola.”

The story of Alexis’ disappearance started with a massive search for the little girl and sympathy for her family, but that quickly changed as her parents became suspects.

A história do desaparecimento de Alexis começou com uma busca massiva pela menina e simpatia por sua família, mas isso mudou rapidamente quando seus pais se tornaram suspeitos.

Over the years, there have been conspiracy theories and false leads and cases of mistaken identity.

Ao longo dos anos, surgiram teorias de conspiração, pistas falsas e casos de identidade equivocada.

Still, her mom has never given up hope that Alexis will come home again someday.

Mesmo assim, sua mãe nunca perdeu a esperança de que Alexis voltasse para casa algum dia. 

In Season 4 of Unsolved, we work to get to the bottom of what really happened to Alexis, what efforts were made to find [...] why so many missing Black kids in America are never found.

Na 4ª temporada de Unsolved, trabalhamos para descobrir o que realmente aconteceu com Alexis, quais esforços foram feitos para descobrir [...] por que tantas crianças negras desaparecidas na América nunca são encontradas.

❑TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:

When the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao opened in northern Spain 25 years ago, architect Frank Gehry’s curvy titanium-clad building was itself as much a part of the attraction for many art lovers as the exhibits inside.

Quando o Museu Guggenheim de Bilbao foi inaugurado no norte da Espanha, há 25 anos, o curvilíneo edifício revestido de titânio do arquiteto Frank Gehry era, por si só, uma parte da atração para muitos amantes da arte, assim como as exposições em seu interior.

As Spain opens the long-awaited Royal Collections Gallery in Madrid next week, its sleek new eight-story building, perched on an iconic hillside next to the Royal Palace, may also steal some of the attention from the Old Masters on display.

Enquanto a Espanha inaugura a tão esperada Galeria das Coleções Reais em Madrid na semana seguinte, o seu novo e elegante edifício de oito andares, situado numa encosta icônica ao lado do Palácio Real, também poderá roubar alguma da atenção dos Antigos Mestres em exposição. 

Spanish architects Emilio Tuñon and Luis Mansilla won the 2017 American Architecture Prize and a dozen other awards for this design, built with white concrete, granite and oak and featuring hundreds of windows overlooking the leafy gardens below the Royal Palace and the expansive Casa de Campo park beyond.

Os arquitetos espanhóis Emilio Tuñon e Luis Mansilla ganharam o American Architecture Prize 2017 e uma dúzia de outros prêmios por este projeto, construído em concreto branco, granito e carvalho e com centenas de janelas com vista para os jardins frondosos abaixo do Palácio Real e para o amplo parque da Casa de Campo.

A spoon full of beer sounds unusual; ______________, it could be the future of a drink popular around the world.

A brewery in Eastern Germany has developed an alcohol-free beer powder to reduce the heavy carbon footprint of beer exports. It’s a completely new product, and such an approach has never existed before. According to the inventors, using powdered beer can save about 3 to 5% of the CO2 emissions for Germany alone, and globally, it would be about half a percent of CO2 emissions.

The powder can create lager, pilsner, or dark beer, and the first beer tastings with the powder brew have been promising.

The company is confident to have a market-ready product by the end of 2023. In the future, breweries could get beer powder and add their water before filling it into bottles.

The ongoing mystery of hiccups

Humans ________ long tried to cure hiccups by ________ water or ________ scared. Here’s what scientists ________ about how this reflex ________ – and how to stop it.

Sierra Pisenti knows hiccups.

She really, really wishes she didn’t. Hers are loud and painful, can last for hours, and have shown up more than a dozen times a month since she was a tiny baby. A bad bout feels like being punched in the chest. “It’s a nightmare,” says Pisenti, a stay-at-home mom from California.

Your hiccups probably aren’t as bad as Pisenti’s, but you likely recognize the dreaded sensation: a tightening in your chest, the characteristic “hic” – and the desperation to make them end. And you probably have the same question as her: “How is it possible that there isn't a solution?”

Hiccups have roots deep in our evolutionary history. ________ after millions of years, tens of thousands of years of human problemsolving, and decades of modern medicine, their origin and purpose is still largely opaque.

“Things like this, that are considered obvious or very simple, are often overlooked by many doctors,” says Mark Fox, a gastroenterologist at University Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland.

“Swallowing, eating, drinking, what happens in normal life – none of this stuff will kill you if it doesn’t work well. But it will ruin your life!”

People ‘Never Smiled In Old Photos’ For Some Very Bizarre Reasons

If you’ve ever looked at an old photo, perhaps you ____________ that nobody ever seems to be smiling in them.

Did you ever wonder why that is?

Times were hard back in the day and there wasn’t much to smile about.

Money was tight, the world was a blackened and polluted mess and stood on the brink of global conflict.

OK, so maybe it wasn’t that different to now after all, but that _______________ today’s modern photo subjects from baring their teeth in a grin regardless.

First off, people were scared of photographs. It was a new technology that people ________ really ___________, and probably could have seemed a bit like a trip to the dentist.

Furthermore, beauty standards were different back then. Having a small mouth was actually a desirable thing – which brings us onto another problem – dental hygiene wasn’t quite what it is today. Another thing you’d want to avoid was looking like you had some sort of mental illness. Having a wide smile was construed as a symptom of ‘madness’ back in the day, whereas standing still and emotionless wasn’t at all weird.

Lastly, there’s the simple operational reason that photographs just took ages to take back in the olden days. From front to back, taking a picture on an old camera could have taken up to 15 minutes, meaning that holding the one facial position rather than your resting face would probably end up getting a bit painful and tedious after a bit.

People ‘Never Smiled In Old Photos’ For Some Very Bizarre Reasons

As pessoas ‘nunca sorriram em fotos antigas’ por alguns motivos muito bizarros

If you’ve ever looked at an old photo, perhaps you ____________ that nobody ever seems to be smiling in them. Se você já olhou uma foto antiga, talvez ____________ que ninguém parece estar sorrindo nelas.

Did you ever wonder why that is? Você já se perguntou por que isso acontece?

Times were hard back in the day and there wasn’t much to smile about. Os tempos eram difíceis naquela época e não havia muito o que sorrir.

Money was tight, the world was a blackened and polluted mess and stood on the brink of global conflict. O dinheiro era pouco, o mundo era uma bagunça enegrecida e poluída e estava à beira de um conflito global.

OK, so maybe it wasn’t that different to now after all, but that _______________ today’s modern photo subjects from baring their teeth in a grin regardless. Tudo bem, talvez não fosse tão diferente de agora, mas _______________ os temas fotográficos modernos de hoje mostram os dentes em um sorriso de qualquer maneira.

First off, people were scared of photographs. It was a new technology that people ________ really ___________, and probably could have seemed a bit like a trip to the dentist. Em primeiro lugar, as pessoas tinham medo de fotografias. Era uma nova tecnologia que as pessoas ________ realmente ___________, e provavelmente poderia ter parecido uma ida ao dentista.

Furthermore, beauty standards were different back then. Having a small mouth was actually a desirable thing – which brings us onto another problem – dental hygiene wasn’t quite what it is today. Além disso, os padrões de beleza eram diferentes naquela época. Ter uma boca pequena era na verdade algo desejável – o que nos leva a outro problema – a higiene dentária não era bem o que é hoje.

Another thing you’d want to avoid was looking like you had some sort of mental illness. Outra coisa que você gostaria de evitar era parecer que tinha algum tipo de doença mental.

Having a wide smile was construed as a symptom of ‘madness’ back in the day, whereas standing still and emotionless wasn’t at all weird. Ter um sorriso largo era interpretado como um sintoma de “loucura” antigamente, ao passo que ficar parado e sem emoção não era nada estranho.

Lastly, there’s the simple operational reason that photographs just took ages to take back in the olden days. Por último, há a simples razão operacional de que antigamente as fotografias demoravam muito para serem tiradas.

From front to back, taking a picture on an old camera could have taken up to 15 minutes, meaning that holding the one facial position rather than your resting face would probably end up getting a bit painful and tedious after a bit. De frente para trás, tirar uma foto com uma câmera antiga poderia levar até 15 minutos, o que significa que manter a posição facial em vez do rosto em repouso provavelmente acabaria se tornando um pouco doloroso e tedioso depois de um tempo.

❑ TEXTO: The following text refers to questions 06 to 08.

An 18-year-old Austrian girl has sued her parents for allegedly posting pictures, including embarrassing and intimate images from her childhood, on Facebook without her consent, media reported.

The girl claimed that the parents made her life miserable as they have posted 500 pictures of her since 2009 on the social networking site. The photos were shared on Facebook with her parents’ 700 friends.

The shared images include baby pictures of her having her nappy changed and later potty-training pictures, thelocal.at reported.

“They knew no shame and no limit and didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot – every stage was photographed and then made public,” the girl was quoted as saying.

Despite her requests, they have refused to delete the photos, prompting her to sue them, she said, adding that her father believes that since he took the photos he has the right to publish the images.

If it can be proven that the images have violated her rights to a personal life, then her parents may lose the case, noted Michael Rami, the girl’s lawyer.

This is the first case of its kind in Austria, but based on similar cases abroad the girl parents may have to pay some financial compensation for her pain and suffering, and will also be liable for her legal costs, Rami added.

The girl claimed that the parents made her life miserable as they have posted 500 pictures of her since 2009 on the social networking site.

As fotos foram compartilhadas no Facebook com os 700 amigos de seus pais.

The shared images include baby pictures of her having her nappy changed and later potty-training pictures, thelocal.at reported. As imagens compartilhadas incluem fotos de bebê dela trocando a fralda e, posteriormente, fotos de treinamento para usar o penico, informou thelocal.at.

“They knew no shame and no limit and didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot – every stage was photographed and then made public,” the girl was quoted as saying. “Eles não conheciam vergonha nem limites e não se importavam se era uma foto minha sentada no vaso sanitário ou deitada nua em minha cama – cada etapa foi fotografada e depois tornada pública”, disse a garota.

Despite her requests, they have refused to delete the photos, prompting her to sue them, she said, adding that her father believes that since he took the photos he has the right to publish the images. Apesar dos seus pedidos, eles recusaram-se a apagar as fotos, o que a levou a processá-los, disse ela, acrescentando que o seu pai acredita que, uma vez que tirou as fotos, tem o direito de publicá-las.

If it can be proven that the images have violated her rights to a personal life, then her parents may lose the case, noted Michael Rami, the girl’s lawyer. Se for provado que as imagens violaram os seus direitos à vida pessoal, então os seus pais poderão perder o caso, observou Michael Rami, o advogado da garota.

This is the first case of its kind in Austria, but based on similar cases abroad the girl parents may have to pay some financial compensation for her pain and suffering, and will also be liable for her legal costs, Rami added. Este é o primeiro caso deste tipo na Áustria, mas com base em casos semelhantes no estrangeiro, os pais das meninas poderão ter de pagar alguma compensação financeira pela sua dor e sofrimento, e também serão responsáveis pelas suas custas judiciais, acrescentou Rami.
