Um ex-executivo do Facebook disse que a mídia social está causando grandes danos à sociedade em todo o mundo.

The executive is a man called Chamath Palihapitiya.

He _________ Facebook in 2007 and _________a vice president.

Ele _________ Facebook em 2007 e _________ vice-presidente.

He was responsible for increasing the number of users Facebook had.

Ele foi responsável por aumentar o número de usuários que o Facebook tinha.

Mr Palihapitiya said he feels very guilty about getting more people to use social networks.

O Sr. Palihapitiya disse que se sente muito culpado por fazer com que mais pessoas usem as redes sociais.

He said the networks are destroying society because they are changing people's behavior.

Ele disse que as redes estão destruindo a sociedade porque estão mudando o comportamento das pessoas.

Twenty years ago, people talked to each other face to face.

Mr. Palihapitiya said people should take a long break from social media so they can experience real life.

O Sr. Palihapitiya disse que as pessoas deveriam dar um longo tempo das mídias sociais para que pudessem experimentar a vida real.

He wants people to value each other instead of valuing online "hearts, likes, and thumbs-up".

Ele quer que as pessoas valorizem umas às outras em vez de valorizar "corações, curtidas e polegares para cima" online.

Palihapitiya also points out how fake news is affecting how we see the world, it is becoming easier for large websites to spread lies.

Palihapitiya também aponta como as notícias falsas estão afetando a forma como vemos o mundo, está se tornando mais fácil para grandes sites espalharem mentiras.

Qualquer um pode se esconder atrás de um nome de usuário falso e postar mentiras sobre outras pessoas.

Palihapitiya said this was a global problem.

Palihapitiya disse que esse era um problema global.

He is worried about social media so much that he has banned his children from using it.

Ele está tão preocupado com as mídias sociais que proibiu seus filhos de usá-las. 

However, he did state that Facebook was a good company.

No entanto, ele afirmou que o Facebook era uma boa empresa.

DICAS DE VIAGEM

How to Plan a Movie-Themed Vacation

Como planejar férias com tema de cinema

It’s easier than you may expect to find, visit, and enjoy the places where your favorite movies were made.

É mais fácil do que imagina encontrar, visitar e desfrutar dos locais onde os seus filmes favoritos foram gravados.

Lars Leetaru

By Shivani Vora

March 8, 2018

Whether it’s the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy in New Zealand or "Roman Holiday” in Rome, many noteworthy movies are filmed in appealing locales all over the world that travelers may want to visit and enjoy.

Seja a trilogia "O Senhor dos Anéis" na Nova Zelândia ou "A Princesa e o Plebeu" em Roma, muitos filmes notáveis ​​são filmados em locais atraentes em todo o mundo que os viajantes podem querer visitar e desfrutar.

According to Angela Tillson, a film location manager in Kauai who has worked on the set of films including "Jurassic Park: The Lost World” and “The Descendants," exploring a beloved movie set destination through the eyes of the film makes for an enjoyable vacation. "Seeing a place with a focus on a movie you love will give you a perspective that the average tourist doesn’t usually get. You’ll certainly have a better impression of the place,” she said. Here are her tips to get started.

De acordo com Angela Tillson, gerente de locais de cinema em Kauai, que trabalhou em sets de filmagem de filmes como "Jurassic Park: O Mundo Perdido" e "Os Descendentes", explorar um cenário cinematográfico adorado pelos olhos do próprio filme resulta em férias agradáveis. "Conhecer um lugar com foco num filme que adora dar-lhe-á uma perspetiva que o turista comum normalmente não tem. Terá certamente uma melhor impressão do lugar", disse ela. Aqui estão as suas dicas para começar.

Choose Your Destination

Escolha o seu destino

If there’s a movie you love, you can find out where it was filmed by looking at the credits at the end of the film or by going online to The Internet Movie Database, also known as IMDB, which often lists filming locations. Once you know the locale, you can start planning your trip. Or, consider doing what Ms. Tillson often does when deciding on where to vacation: pick a spot you’re interested in visiting, and find out what movies have been filmed there. “It’s fun to sometimes let a destination determine the movie you're going to live rather than the other way around,” Ms. Tillson said.

Se adora um filme, pode descobrir onde foi filmado olhando para os créditos no final do filme ou acedendo à Internet Movie Database, também conhecida como IMDB, que lista frequentemente os locais de filmagem. Depois de saber o local, pode começar a planear a sua viagem. Ou considere fazer o que a Sra. Tillson costuma fazer quando decide onde passar as férias: escolha um local que tenha interesse em visitar e descubra que filmes foram filmados lá. "Por vezes, é divertido deixar que um destino determine o filme que se vai viver, e não o contrário", disse a senhora Tillson.

Get in the Mood

Entre no clima

Before you head to your destination, be sure to rewatch the movie. A rewatch not only reminds you of identifiable spots to look out for during your trip, but it also adds to the excitement of your upcoming exploration. If the movie is based on a book, consider reading the book, too. It may have details about the locale that the movie doesn’t touch on. Also, books often have scenes that don’t make it into the movie adaptations, which gives you a deeper view of the destination. Ms. Tillson also recommended downloading the movie’s soundtrack or score, and listening to it throughout your trip.

Antes de seguir para o seu destino, não deixe de rever o filme. Ver novamente não só o lembra de lugares identificáveis ​​para conhecer durante a sua viagem, como também aumenta a emoção da sua próxima exploração. Se o filme for baseado num livro, considere ler também o livro. Pode conter detalhes sobre o local que o filme não aborda. Além disso, os livros têm, normalmente, cenas que não aparecem nas adaptações cinematográficas, o que proporciona uma visão mais aprofundada do destino. A Sra. Tillson recomendou também descarregar a banda sonora ou a banda sonora do filme e ouvi-la durante toda a viagem.

Book a Themed Trip

Reserve uma viagem temática

Some travel companies sell set itineraries focused on popular movies. Luxury tour operator Zicasso, for example, has an eight-day trip, all inclusive, to Ireland inspired by "Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and Wild Frontiers has an eleven-day trip to India inspired by "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." Ms. Tillson suggested doing a web search or checking with a travel agent to find out about such trips. Also, in some destinations, local tour operators and hotels sell movie-themed tours. For instance, The St. Regis Priceville Resort offers a tour that includes a private helicopter ride to Manawaiopuna Falls, made famous in "Jurassic Park,” and an ATV tour of filming locations of movies such as “Raiders of the Lost Ark" and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Lunch is even included. The cost is $5,674 for two adults.

Algumas agências de viagens vendem itinerários fixos focados em filmes populares. O operador turístico de luxo Zicasso, por exemplo, oferece uma viagem de oito dias com tudo incluído à Irlanda, inspirada em "Star Wars: Os Últimos Jedi", e a Wild Frontiers oferece uma viagem de onze dias à Índia, inspirada em "O Exótico Hotel Marigold". A Sra. Tillson sugeriu fazer uma pesquisa na internet ou consultar um agente de viagens para saber mais sobre estas viagens. Além disso, em alguns destinos, os operadores turísticos e os hotéis locais oferecem passeios temáticos de filmes. Por exemplo, o The St. Regis Priceville Resort oferece um passeio que inclui um passeio de helicóptero privado até às Cataratas de Manawaiopuna, famosas em "Jurassic Park", e um passeio de moto-quatro por locais de filmagem de filmes como "Os Salteadores da Arca Perdida" e "Piratas das Caraíbas". O almoço está incluído. O custo é de 5.674 dólares para dois adultos.

A more affordable option, in Rome, is the four-hour “Roman Holiday" themed excursion from HR Tours, where travelers ride a Vespa with a driver and see ail the sites from the movie; the cost is 170 euros per person.

Uma opção mais acessível, em Roma, é a excursão temática de quatro horas "Férias em Roma" da HR Tours, onde os viajantes andam de Vespa com um motorista e veem todos os locais do filme; o custo é de 170 euros por pessoa.

Hang Where the Movie Crew Did

Frequente onde a equipa do filme foi

When they’re not working, movie crews enjoy hitting local bars and casual restaurants that serve tasty local cuisine, Ms. Tillson said.

Find out where the behind-the-scenes staff of your film spent their time by asking your destination’s tourist board or your hotel’s concierge, and check out a few of the spots. “It’s another way to get involved in the film and spend time in bars and restaurants that you wouldn’t normally think to hit,” she said.

Quando não estão trabalhando, as equipas de filmagem gostam de frequentar bares e restaurantes casuais que servem a saborosa gastronomia local, disse a Sra. Tillson.

Descubra onde a equipa de bastidores do seu filme passou o tempo a perguntar ao conselho de turismo do seu destino ou ao concierge do seu hotel e veja alguns dos locais. "É outra forma de se envolver com o filme e passar algum tempo em bares e restaurantes que normalmente não pensaria em visitar", disse ela.

STEPHEN HAWKING

Stephen Hawking, one of the most famous scientists of the 21st century, died on March 14th, 2018. But his ideas on gravity, black holes and the Big Bang are the greatest legacy he left to the world.

Stephen Hawking, um dos cientistas mais famosos do século XXI, morreu a 14 de março de 2018. Mas as suas ideias sobre a gravidade, os buracos negros e o Big Bang são o maior legado que deixou ao mundo.

Early Life and College

Juventude e faculdade

On January 8th, 1942, Stephen Hawking was born to a successful family in Oxford, England. He was not the best student at fundamental or high school, but he was very smart. His dad wanted him to become a medical doctor, but Stephen really wanted to study math.

A 8 de janeiro de 1942, Stephen Hawking nasceu numa família bem-sucedida em Oxford, Inglaterra. Não era o melhor aluno do ensino básico ou secundário, mas era muito inteligente. O pai queria que ele se tornasse médico, mas Stephen queria mesmo era estudar matemática.

Despite his poor grades at school, Stephen aced his exams for college. He was admitted to Oxford University, but they didn't have math as a major. So, he decided to study physics and chemistry instead.

Apesar das notas baixas na escola, Stephen saiu-se muito bem nos exames para a faculdade. Foi admitido na Universidade de Oxford, mas a disciplina não era matemática. Assim, decidiu estudar física e química.

Stephen became a member of a rowing team when he was in college. After he graduated, he decided to continue his education and went to graduate school.

Stephen juntou-se a uma equipa de remo quando estava na faculdade. Após se ter licenciado, decidiu continuar os estudos e fez uma pós-graduação.

Graduate School, Marriage and Health Problems

Pós-graduação, casamento e problemas de saúde

While in graduate school, he had some health problems. He began tripping for no reason, and his speech became hard to understand. His family encouraged him to go to the doctor. Stephen was diagnosed with a disease called ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, which affects the brain and spine. He was only twenty one, and the doctors initially gave him only a few years to live. Luckily, his condition progressed more slowly than is often the case.

Durante a pós-graduação, teve alguns problemas de saúde. Começou a tropeçar sem motivo e o seu discurso tornou-se difícil de compreender. A sua família incentivou-o a consultar um médico. Stephen foi diagnosticado com uma doença chamada ELA, ou doença de Lou Gehrig, que afeta o cérebro e a coluna vertebral. Tinha apenas 21 anos, e os médicos deram-lhe inicialmente apenas alguns anos de vida. Felizmente, a sua condição progrediu mais lentamente do que costuma acontecer.

During this time, Stephen had a relationship with a woman named Jane. He said she and his work were his inspiration for living. Stephen earned his Ph.D. degree in 1965. He started to get worse, and eventually became confined to a wheelchair. Nonetheless, he and Jane married in 1965 and were able to have three children.

Durante este período, Stephen teve um relacionamento com uma mulher chamada Jane. Disse que ela e o seu trabalho eram a sua inspiração para viver. Stephen obteve o seu doutoramento em 1965. A sua condição começou a piorar e, por fim, ficou confinado a uma cadeira de rodas. Ainda assim, ele e Jane casaram em 1965 e tiveram três filhos.

He studied how space and time are related, including scientific studies of black holes in space and how they work in the universe. He also had a lot of success in his work as a college professor.

Estudou a relação entre o espaço e o tempo, incluindo estudos científicos sobre os buracos negros no espaço e como funcionam no universo. Também obteve muito sucesso como professor universitário.

A New Voice

Uma Nova Voz

In 1985, Stephen got really sick and doctors were able to save him, but he was unable to speak. He could only use his eyebrows to communicate. Eventually, he was able to use a special voice synthesizer, allowing him to talk by moving his cheek muscles and using a mouse pad.

Em 1985, Stephen adoeceu gravemente e os médicos conseguiram salvá-lo, mas não conseguia falar. Só conseguia usar as sobrancelhas para comunicar. Com o tempo, conseguiu utilizar um sintetizador de voz especial, que lhe permitia falar movendo os músculos das bochechas e utilizando um tapete de rato.

Famous Works and Prizes

Obras e Prêmios Famosos

His most notorious theory is that black holes can emit radiation; also known as Hawking radiation. He received numerous awards but never won the Nobel Prize.

A sua teoria mais notória é a de que os buracos negros podem emitir radiação; também conhecida como radiação de Hawking. Recebeu inúmeros prémios, mas nunca ganhou o Prémio Nobel.

Stephen always enjoyed writing books. His best seller, “A Brief History in Time” made terms like the Big Bang and black holes easy to understand. Other famous Stephen Hawking books include: “A Briefer History in Time", “On the Shoulders of Giants” and "The Universe in a Nutshell". He also wrote many books for children along with his daughter Lucy. His famous books for children include "George’s Cosmic Treasure Hunt" and “George and the Big Bang”.

Stephen sempre gostou de escrever livros. O seu best-seller, "Breve História do Tempo", tornou termos como Big Bang e buracos negros fáceis de compreender. Outros livros famosos de Stephen Hawking incluem: "Uma Breve História do Tempo", "Sobre os Ombros de Gigantes" e "O Universo numa Casca de Noz". Escreveu também muitos livros infantis com a sua filha Lucy. Os seus livros infantis famosos incluem "A Caça ao Tesouro Cósmico de George" e "George e o Big Bang".

His last work, submitted only two weeks before his death, reveals the universe will come to an end when stars run out of energy. However, his theory suggests that scientists will be able to find parallel universes using probes on spaceships.

O seu último trabalho, submetido apenas duas semanas antes da sua morte, revela que o universo chegará ao fim quando as estrelas ficarem sem energia. No entanto, a sua teoria sugere que os cientistas serão capazes de encontrar universos paralelos utilizando sondas em naves espaciais.
