A paixo de Cristo parte foi de noite sem dormir, parte foi de dia sem descansar, e tais so as vossas noites e os vossos dias. Cristo despido, e vs despidos; Cristo sem comer, e vs famintos; Cristo em tudo maltratado, e vs maltratados em tudo.

(FUVEST - 2014) A wave of anger is sweeping the cities of the world. The protests have many different origins. In Brazil people rose up against bus fares, in Turkey against a building project. Indonesians have rejected higher fuel prices. In the euro zone they march against austerity, and the Arab spring has become a perma-protest against pretty much everything. Yet just as in 1848, 1968 and 1989, when people also found a collective voice, the demonstrators have much in common. In one country after another, protesters have risen up with bewildering speed. They tend to be ordinary, middle class people, not lobbies with lists of demands. Their mix of revelry and rage condemns the corruption, inefficiency and arrogance of the folk in charge. Nobody can know how 2013 will change the world if at all. In 1989 the Soviet empire teetered and fell. But Marxs belief that 1848 was the first wave of a proletarian revolution was confounded by decades of flourishing capitalism and 1968 did more to change sex than politics. Even now, though, the inchoate significance of 2013 is discernible. And for politicians who want to peddle the same old stuff, news is not good. The Economist, June 29, 2013. Adaptado.

(FUVEST 2014) To live the longest and healthiest life possible, get smarter. Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) data show that past a certain threshold, health and wealth are just weakly correlated. However, overall health is closely tied to how many years people spend in school. Mexico, for instance, has a fifth the per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States, but, for women, more than 50 percent of the latters schooling. In line with the trend, Mexicos female adult mortality rate is only narrowly higher. Vietnam and Yemen have roughly equivalent per capita GDP. Yet Vietnamese women average 6.3 more years in school and are half as likely to die between the ages of 15 and 60. Economic growth is also significantly associated with child mortality reductions, but the magnitude of the association is much smaller than that of increased education, comments Emmanuela Gakidou, IHMEs director of education and training. One year of schooling gives you about 10 percent lower mortality rates, whereas with a 10 percent increase in GDP, your mortality rate would go down only by 1 to 2 percent. Discover, May 31, 2013.
