Improving with age?

How city design is adapting to older populations 

There is no denying it: like it or not we are all getting older. According to the UN World Population Prospects report, the global population of older people is growing at an unprecedented rate. By 2050, for the first time in human history, there will be more over-65s than children under 15. The number of people over 100 will increase by 1,000%. And as by then 70% of the world’s population will likely live in cites, this will present huge challenges, and cities will need to adapt. “Small innovations can make a difference,” Recalcati adds. “Older people are less likely to drive, favouring public transport and walking. The average person over 65 manages a walking speed of 3km/hour. At 80 that goes down to 2km/hour, compared with the average for a working age person of 4.8km/hour. Reducing the distance between transport stops, shops, benches, trees for shade, public toilets and improving pavements and allowing more time to cross the road all encourage older people to go out." In the UK, the government has just announced the building of 10 new towns designed to address ageing and health issues such as obesity. As well as encouraging more active lifestyles, the designs could include wider pavements, few trip hazards and moving LCD signs, making the streets easier to navigate for people with dementia and other age-related conditions. London-based charity Living Streets has also been working alongside communities carrying out street audits with older residents to see what improvements could be made, as well as campaigning at a strategic level to influence positive legislative and infrastructure changes. Their project Time to Cross campaigned to increase pedestrian crossing times which resulted in Transport for London (TfL) agreeing to a review. www.thegardian.com/cities/2016/ap/25/improving-with-age-how-city-design-is-adapting-to-older-populations.

Portable devices

Buddy, can you spare a watt? 

Trading power could free users from dead-battery tyranny 

ONE of the most annoying features of smartphones is that they run out of power just when you need it most. After a day of e-mailing, streaming music, downloading podcasts, watching cat videos and snapping selfies, a device can easily be left without enough charge to make an emergency call. What would help, reckons Paul Worgan of the University of Bristol, in England, is to give portable devices the ability to share some of their power.

Mr Worgan and his colleagues have come up with a wireless-charging system which they call PowerShake. To use it someone holds a phone with an expiring battery against another device—a phone, or even a smartwatch or a fitness band—and this initiates a power transfer from one to the other. Some 12 seconds of contact provides enough juice to make a one-minute telephone call. One minute of contact would allow, say, a four minute music video to be watched. The researchers will present their idea to CHI2016, a conference on computer-human interaction, in San Jose, California, in May.

Zika virus makes Rio Olympics a threat in Brazil and abroad, health expert says 

Amir Attaran calls for postponement or moving of Games and says biggest risk is spreading the virus to countries without adequate healthcare infrastructure. As Brazil reels from a spiraling political crisis and its deepest recession in decades, a public health specialist in Canada has added to the country’s woes with a high-profile call for the 2016 summer Olympics – slated to kick off in Rio de Janeiro in early August – to be postponed or moved due to the Zika outbreak. Speaking to the Guardian on Thursday, Attaran described the idea of going ahead with the games as both “indescribably foolish” and “monstrously unethical”. The potential risks to visitors range from braindamaged children to death in rare instances, he added. "Is this what the Olympics stand for?"

What does the title of the text mean? 

Dreaming brain rhythms lock in memories 

It is the clearest evidence to date that REM sleep is critical for memory. By switching off certain brain cells, the researchers silenced a particular, rhythmic type of brain function - without waking the mice. If they did this during REM sleep, the mice failed subsequent memory tests. The research is reported in the journal Science.

REM sleep is the phase during which, at least in humans, dreams take place - but the question of whether it is important for settling new memories has been difficult to answer. Recent studies have tended to focus on deep, non-REM sleep instead, during which brain cells fire in various patterns that reflect memory consolidation and "re-play" of the day's experiences. During REM sleep, while our eyes flicker and our muscles relax, exactly what the brain is doing is something of a mystery. But it is a type of sleep seen across the animal kingdom, in mammals and birds and even lizards.

Amazon keeps expanding its empire 

Elizabeth Weise 

Amazon has doubled the number of air freight cargo planes it is leasing, a further build out of its internal delivery system.

Atlas Air Worldwide on Thursday said it had signed an agreement with the Seattle internet retailer to operate 20 Boeing 767 for the company for ten years.

Operations under the agreements are expected to begin in the second half of 2016 and ramp up to full service through 2018, Atlas said. In addition, Amazon will acquire as much as 20% of Atlas.

The planes will be used to move packages between Amazon’s fulfillment centers, which package goods, to its sortation centers, which sort them into local delivery pallets that can be taken to the Post Office for bulk delivery, the company said.

The planes will also be used by Amazon to move goods between its fulfillment centers across the country to other centers where they are needed for one- and two-day delivery, as no one Amazon center can stock the 20 million items Amazon typically has available for two-day delivery.

The deal isn't surprising, said John Haber, CEO of Spend Management Experts, a supply chain management consulting firm.

“This is just the most recent step in Amazon building out a massive logistics network designed to move more of their transportation and distribution under their direct control," he said.

Scientists invent silk food wrap that's biodegradable and could replace plastic cling film

Bananas and strawberries kept at room temperature for more than a week did not go off after they were coated with a near-invisible film made from silk

Ian Johnston

Scientists have invented a cling film-like food wrap made from silk that can preserve fruit for more than a week, as a natural, biodegradable alternative to plastic.

International concern has been growing about plastic waste, particularly the amount that gets into the sea. One estimate is that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans.

Doctors have also warned that containers made from certain kinds of plastic could be harmful to health.

Now a team of biomedical engineers at Tufts University in the US have developed a technique that enables food to be coated with an almost invisible layer of fibroin, a protein found in silk, which helps make it one of nature's toughest materials.

The lead researcher, Professor Fiorenzo Omenetto, told The Independent that the world should probably move "towards processes that are more efficient and more naturally derived" and develop materials that "are closer to the things that surround us, rather than having more man-made, processed materials ... for the general well-being of our planet". "It's a wise way of thinking about how we manage the resources of our planet, to maybe use renewable systems as opposed to non-renewable systems," he said.

"The pervasiveness of plastic and all the inorganic chemicals that leach out, albeit at very slow rates, can affect us in many ways."

When asked what the chances were that silk-derived products would replace plastics, Professor Omenetto said: "That's our dream."

However he said the use of plastic was widespread and "incredibly cost effective" so it might take some time to convince people to change.

The same team previously made a silk cup that could be used, at least once, for coffee as a possible replacement for plasticlined cardboard cups.

In a paper in the journal Scientific Reports, they described how strawberries and bananas could be preserved for a week or more.

The fruit is coated by dipping it in a liquid containing a tiny amount of fibroin, but the wrap could also be applied with a spray.

The silk is produced naturally by worms of moths.

Strawberries left for seven days at room temperature became discoloured and went soft, but those coated with the silk protein stayed juicy and firm.

LEARNING FROM THE LAZARUS EFFECT

Most clinical trials for cancer drugs are failures. But for a handful of patients, a drug proves to be nearly a cure. What can science learn from these “exceptional responders”?

For years, Grace Silva had experienced odd episodes with her throat — bouts of swelling and radiating pain that seemed to resolve with antibiotics — but her doctors couldn’t explain what was wrong. Finally, after a flare-up in the summer of 2010, Grace was referred to a specialist, an ear doctor who felt something amiss on the left side of her throat: a

lump. The Silva family agreed that it was time to get Grace, then 54, to a thyroid specialist. Grace’s daughter Melanie tracked down the name of one at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a 90-minute drive from Grace’s brown clapboard split-level near

New Bedford, Mass. In September 2010, the specialist delivered the diagnosis: anaplastic thyroid cancer. It was bad, he warned her, and she would need surgery. Grace’s other daughter, Karrie, was marrying in a few weeks. “Can’t it wait?” Grace

asked. It could not. “And whatever you do,” the specialist said, “please don’t look it up on the Internet.”

CAN ADDICTION TO SMARTPHONES TRIGGER ADHD?

We measured inattentiveness and hyperactivity by asking participants to identify how frequently they had experienced 18 symptoms of ADHD over each of the two weeks. These items were based on the criteria for diagnosing ADHD in adults as specified by the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

The results were clear: More frequent phone interruptions made people less attentive and more hyperactive. These findings should concern us. Smartphones are the fastest-selling electronic gadget in history—in the 22 seconds it took to type this sentence, 1,000 smartphones were shipped to their new owners. Even if one of those 1,000 users became more likely to make a careless mistake, ignore a friend in the middle of a conversation or space out during a meeting, smartphones could be harming the productivity, relationships and well-being of millions.

As with all disorders, symptoms of ADHD form a continuum, from the normal to the pathological. Our findings suggest that our incessant digital stimulation is contributing to an increasingly problematic deficit of attention in modern society.

So consider silencing your phone, even when you are not in the movie theater. Your brain will thank you.

WHAT MAKES US HELP OTHERS? WHAT MAKES US SELFISH?

Kitty (Catherine) Genovese was a 28-year-old New York City woman stabbed to death near her home in the Kew Gardens section of Queens, New York, in 1964. It took her about a half-hour to die, as she crawled on the streets shouting for help. At the time, newspapers reported that over three dozen people saw or heard her crying for help after she was stabbed, but they did nothing. Instead of calling the police, they closed their windows. They did not want to get involved.

No one called until the final assault, each of them perhaps thinking that someone else would do it. Eventually, someone did call, but it was too late. Later reports cast doubt on the complete accuracy of the original New York Times story about the incident. That story was based on the initial police report. The number of witnesses who heard the screams may have been closer to a dozen, and the number who actually saw something may be a half-dozen. Still, a half-dozen did not respond, and the incident became a symbol of the alienation of the big city. Sadly, news reports are filled with stories about ordinary humans acting inhumanely as apathetic bystanders. Search for “people ignore man dying on

street” in Google, and you will get thousands of results.

'500 Years of Brazil's Discovery'

By GAIL FINEBERG

Our territory was already inhabited before 1500 A.D., by a large population, estimated in the 1500s at 3 million Indians, with their own communal organization and traditions. Nosso território já era habitado antes de 1500 d.C., por uma grande população, estimada em 1500 em 3 milhões de índios, com organização e tradições comunitárias próprias.

The encounter occurred on April 22, 1500, when Pedro Álvares Cabral, commander of a Portuguese armada, sighted the South American mainland and staked a claim for Portugal. O encontro ocorreu em 22 de abril de 1500, quando Pedro Álvares Cabral, comandante de uma armada portuguesa, avistou o continente sul-americano e reivindicou Portugal.

The Portuguese found Brazil attractive, as did the French, Dutch and Spanish. The first agreement between Spain and Portugal on frontiers was not reached until 1750. Os portugueses acharam o Brasil atraente, assim como os franceses, holandeses e espanhóis. O primeiro acordo entre Espanha e Portugal sobre fronteiras só foi alcançado em 1750.

The Jesuits were enterprising, and their missionary efforts spread throughout the country between 1625 and 1759. Os jesuítas eram empreendedores e os seus esforços missionários espalharam-se por todo o país entre 1625 e 1759.

The religious influence was responsible for an extraordinarily beautiful Brazilian baroque architecture. A influência religiosa foi responsável por uma arquitetura barroca brasileira de extraordinária beleza.

Thoughts of independence began to take root in the late 18th century. Revolutionary events in Europe had a profound effect on Brazil. Os pensamentos de independência começaram a criar raízes no final do século XVIII. Os acontecimentos revolucionários na Europa tiveram um efeito profundo no Brasil.

Napoleon’s invasion of Portugal prompted the Portuguese prince regent, Dom João, to move the Portuguese court to Brazil in 1808. A invasão de Portugal por Napoleão levou o príncipe regente português, Dom João, a transferir a corte portuguesa para o Brasil em 1808.

Brazil matured quickly as the seat of the Portuguese empire. O Brasil amadureceu rapidamente como sede do império português.

The prince opened Brazilian ports to trade with friendly nations, including Great Britain, and also government offices in Rio de Janeiro, a supreme court, a bank, the royal treasury, mint, printing office, a national library with holdings from the

Portuguese National Library and other academic institutions. O príncipe abriu os portos brasileiros ao comércio com nações amigas, incluindo a Grã-Bretanha, e também escritórios do governo no Rio de Janeiro, um tribunal supremo, um banco, o tesouro real, uma casa da moeda, uma gráfica, uma biblioteca nacional com acervos do

Biblioteca Nacional Portuguesa e outras instituições acadêmicas.

With the death of Portugal’s queen, Maria I, in 1816, the regent became King João VI. He returned to Portugal in 1821 to contain a revolution there and appointed his son, Dom Pedro, as regent in Brazil. Com a morte da rainha de Portugal, D. Maria I, em 1816, o regente passou a ser D. João VI. Retornou a Portugal em 1821 para conter uma revolução e nomeou seu filho, Dom Pedro, como regente no Brasil. 

Dom Pedro refused orders a few months later to return to Lisbon, established a legislative assembly in São Paulo and proclaimed Brazil’s independence from Portugal on Sept. 7, 1822. Dom Pedro recusou ordens alguns meses depois para retornar a Lisboa, estabeleceu uma assembleia legislativa em São Paulo e proclamou a independência do Brasil de Portugal em 7 de setembro de 1822.

Dom Pedro I was crowned emperor in 1822, but after a troubled reign marked by conflict with the assembly, he abdicated in favor of 5-year- old Dom Pedro de Alcântara in 1831. Dom Pedro I foi coroado imperador em 1822, mas depois de um reinado conturbado e marcado por conflitos com a assembleia, abdicou em favor de Dom Pedro de Alcântara, de 5 anos, em 1831.

For the next nine years, Brazil seethed with civil unrest until both houses of parliament declared the young regent had reached majority in 1840. The Brazilian Empire lasted to

1889. Durante os nove anos seguintes, o Brasil fervilhava de agitação civil até ambas as casas do parlamento declararam que o jovem regente havia alcançado a maioridade em 1840. O Império Brasileiro durou até

1889.

Dom Pedro II proved to be an enlightened leader. Dom Pedro II revelou-se um líder esclarecido.

Brazil grew and prospered under his reign, and the country enjoyed a great deal of stability. O Brasil cresceu e prosperou sob seu reinado, e o país desfrutou de grande estabilidade.

(The country’s population grew from 4 million to 14 million; railroads built 5,000 miles of track; and public revenues and products multiplied.) (A população do país cresceu de 4 milhões para 14 milhões; as ferrovias construíram 8.000 quilômetros de trilhos; e as receitas e os produtos públicos multiplicaram-se.)

However, support for a republic grew, and the empire finally collapsed in 1889, when the royal family went to exile in Europe. No entanto, o apoio a uma república cresceu e o império finalmente entrou em colapso em 1889, quando a família real foi para o exílio na Europa.

The country’s 19th century economy relied on slave-based agriculture. Slave trade with Africa did not cease until 1853. A economia do país no século XIX dependia da agricultura baseada na escravatura. O comércio de escravos com a África não cessou até 1853.

At the dawn of the 21st century, Brazil, with an economy that is the eighth largest in the world, is a contributor of music, painting, literature and other arts to the world’s culture. No alvorecer do século 21, o Brasil, com uma economia que é a oitava maior do mundo, contribui com música, pintura, literatura e outras artes para a cultura mundial.

❑ TRADUÇÃO:

Roraima is an interesting mountain located in the Guiana Highlands. The peak actually shares the border with Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana, but the mountain is almost always approached from the Venezuela side. The Brazil and Guyana sides are much more difficult. The mountain’s highest point is Maverick Rock which is at and on the Venezuela side (thought some other sources may differ on this). Roraima é uma montanha interessante localizada no Planalto das Guianas. Na verdade, o pico faz fronteira com a Venezuela, o Brasil e a Guiana, mas a montanha quase sempre é abordada pelo lado venezuelano. Os lados do Brasil e da Guiana são muito mais difíceis. O ponto mais alto da montanha é Maverick Rock, que fica no lado da Venezuela (embora algumas outras fontes possam diferir sobre isso).

The Jurutauí Legend A lenda de Jurutauí

Jurutauí was the bird with the most beautiful song in

the forest and, because it sang so melodiously, it was truly admired by the other birds. One day Jurutauí saw the moon shining splendidly and fell deeply in love with her. Then, to be heard by its muse, it flew to the highest tree to sing love songs through the night, filling the forest with the most devoted sounds. Jurutauí foi o pássaro com o canto mais bonito do

floresta e, por cantar tão melodiosamente, era verdadeiramente admirado pelos demais pássaros. Um dia Jurutauí viu a lua brilhando esplendidamente e se apaixonou profundamente por ela. Depois, para ser ouvido por sua musa, voou até a árvore mais alta para cantar canções de amor durante a noite, enchendo a floresta com os sons mais devotados.

Jurutauí couldn’t accept such a distance from its lover

and flew higher and higher, trying to reach it. But the power of gravity could not be overcome. After a long struggle Jurutauí fell straight to the ground. Dizzy, it tried to recover and sing its beautiful song, but only a strident and terrible screech came from its throat and echoed through the forest. Jurutauí não aguentou tamanho distanciamento de seu amante e voou cada vez mais alto, tentando alcançá-lo. Mas o poder da gravidade não pôde ser superado. Depois de muita luta, Jurutauí caiu direto no chão. Tonto, tentou se recuperar e cantar sua linda canção, mas apenas um grito estridente e terrível saiu de sua garganta e ecoou pela floresta.

The other birds surrounded Jurutauí and mourned for the loss of the most beautiful birdsong in the forest. Now when the forest echoes with raucous and sad notes, everyone knows that it’s because Jurutauí is singing. Os demais pássaros cercaram Jurutauí e lamentaram a perda do mais belo canto dos pássaros da floresta. Agora, quando a floresta ecoa com notas estridentes e tristes, todos sabem que é porque Jurutauí está cantando.

The Pirarucu Legend A lenda do Pirarucu

Pirarucu was an Indian who belonged to the Uaiás tribe that lived around the Lábrean plains in the Southwestern Amazon. He was a brave, but heartless warrior, even though Pindarô, his father and chief of the tribe, was a good man. Pirarucu was full of vanities, egoism and excessively proud of his power. While his father visited friendly neighboring tribes, Pirarucu took advantage of his absence to take village people hostage and execute them for any reason. He also criticized the gods. Pirarucu era um índio pertencente à tribo Uaiás que vivia nas planícies de Lábrea, no sudoeste da Amazônia. Foi um guerreiro valente, mas sem coração, embora Pindarô, seu pai e chefe da tribo, fosse um bom homem. Pirarucu era cheio de vaidades, egoísmo e excessivamente orgulhoso de seu poder. Enquanto seu pai visitava tribos vizinhas amigas, Pirarucu aproveitava sua ausência para fazer reféns os aldeões e executá-los por qualquer motivo. Ele também criticou os deuses.

Tupã, the god of the gods, observed Pirarucu for a

long time, until, tired of the man’s behavior, he decided to punish Pirarucu. Tupã called Polo and demanded that he spread his most powerful lightening in the whole area. He also called Iururaruaçu, the goddess of torrents, and demanded that she provoke the strongest torrents of rain over Pirarucu, who was fishing along with other Indians on the margins of the Tocantins river, not so far from the longhouse. Tupã, o deus dos deuses, observou Pirarucu por um

muito tempo, até que, cansado do comportamento do homem, decidiu punir Pirarucu. Tupã ligou para Polo e exigiu que ele espalhasse seu raio mais poderoso por toda a área. Ele também chamou Iururaruaçu, a deusa das torrentes, e exigiu que ela provocasse as mais fortes chuvas sobre Pirarucu, que pescava junto com outros índios às margens do rio Tocantins, não muito longe da maloca.

The fires of Tupã were seen throughout the forest. When Pirarucu saw the wild waters of the river, and heard the voice and felt the hate of Tupã, he just ignored them with a laugh and crazy words. Then, Tupã sent Xandoré, the demon that hates men, who threw lightening and thunder that filled the air and cut it with sparks. Pirarucu tried to escape, but while he ran among the falling branches and trees, a lightening bolt sent by Xandoré, struck into the heart of the warrior who refused to ask for forgiveness. As queimadas de Tupã foram vistas por toda a mata. Quando Pirarucu viu as águas bravas do rio, e ouviu a voz e sentiu o ódio de Tupã, simplesmente as ignorou com risadas e palavras malucas. Então, Tupã enviou Xandoré, o demônio que odeia os homens, que lançou raios e trovões que encheram o ar e o cortaram com faíscas. Pirarucu tentou fugir, mas enquanto corria entre galhos e árvores que caíam, um raio enviado por Xandoré atingiu o coração do guerreiro que se recusou a pedir perdão.

All of those who were with Pirarucu ran from the jungle in total fright, while the body of Pirarucu, still alive, was taken to the depths of the Tocantins river and transformed into a giant and dark fish. Pirarucu remained there and for a long time he was the terror of the region. Todos os que estavam com o Pirarucu fugiram da selva assustados, enquanto o corpo do Pirarucu, ainda vivo, foi levado para as profundezas do rio Tocantins e transformado em um peixe gigante e escuro. Pirarucu permaneceu lá e por muito tempo foi o terror da região.
