(UFU - 2018 - 1aFASE) Once were dead, were dead. I dont want a Japanese designer to start designing Dolce Gabbana, Gabbana, 55, said in an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. The veteran fashionistas launched their brand in 1985 and continue to work together despite breaking up as a couple in 2004. When we split up, we said to ourselves that it was better to divide up everything, because if I took a blow to the head the next day he would have found himself dealing with someone not involved in the industry, like for example my cousin, who could ruin the business, Gabbana said. We have created a trust neither of us can touch. Dolce, 59, added that the pair had refused every offer to buy the brand. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not free, what do you do? You dont go to the grave with a coffin stuffed with money, he said. Designer Stefano Gabbana says he is tired of being labelled as gay. Im too busy working. I dont care about becoming richer my goal is to be successful, he said. The two men said they still share an exceptional bond, even though they are no longer romantically linked. Even today, what is mine is his, and what is his is mine ...

(UFU - 2018 - 1aFASE) Do Gun Owners Want Gun Control? By Jess Bidgood and Sabrina Tavernise Tom Galinat signed a letter to lawmakers, urging them to expand background checks for gun purchases. Mr. Galinat, 35, a farmer and hunter who owns nine guns, traveled last month from his home in Peacham, Vt., to Montpelier, the state capital, with a firm goal in mind: Convince lawmakers to enact a ban on high-capacity magazines. Jonathan Leach, 56, a policy analyst in Augusta, Me., and the owner of about 10 guns, testified before Maine legislators in favor of a bill to let judges order people deemed dangerous to surrender their firearms. Mr. Leach said he wanted to serve as a counterweight to gun rights enthusiasts he knew would speak against the idea. Disponı́vel em: www.nytimes.com.

(UFU - 2018 - 1aFASE) New Studies Link Cell Phone Radiation with Cancer Researchers call for greater caution, but skeptics say the evidence from rat studies is not convincing By Charles Schmidt Does cell phone radiation cause cancer? New studies show a correlation in lab rats, but the evidence may not resolve ongoing debates over causality or whether any effects arise in people. The ionizing radiation given off by sources such as x-ray machines and the sun boosts cancer risk by shredding molecules in the body. But the nonionizing radio-frequency (RF) radiation that cell phones and other wireless devices emit has just one known biological effect: an ability to heat tissue by exciting its molecules. Still, evidence advanced by the studies shows prolonged exposure to even very low levels of RF radiation, perhaps by mechanisms other than heating that remain unknown, makes rats uniquely prone to a rare tumor called a schwannoma, which affects a type of neuron (or nerve cell) called a Schwann cell.

(UFU - 2018 - 1aFASE) A new study, published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, established the chemical composition of Uranus upper cloud deck for the first time. Using an instrument called the Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrometer (NIFS) at the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii, researchers determined that Uranus cloud cover is composed of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas, which is what gives rotten eggs their distinctive, noxious scent.

(UFU - 2018 - 1aFASE) Technology and its discontents Nuclear bombs can destroy us. Facebook undermines our privacy. Artificial intelligence (AI) and robots can enslave us (or, worse, take our jobs). Synthetic biology and geneediting have humans playing God. Social media make us depressed: weve never been so connected yet never so alone. Those are just a few of the complaints leveled against technology. For most of human history, however, technology was mostly seen as a force for good. More people would live because of technical progress, from refrigeration to vaccination, than perish because of it, despite lethal inventions such as gunpowder.

(UFU - 2018 - 1aFASE) The assistant we didnt ask for, but cant live without Weird. Curious. Baffling. Quite Stupid. These words all once described Alexa, the voice-activated digital assistant on Amazons Echo device. But Amazon says the Echo Dot, a smaller, less expensive version of the Echo, was its top-selling device during the holiday season. In 2014, it was odd to even consider owning an Echo and impossible to buy without an invitation from Amazon. Today, you can pick from five Echo models. Or, you can try Googles version: the Google Home, Google Home Mini or Google Home Max. Apple has also released a digital assistant device, the HomePod, which is fully capable with Siri. You can have your pick of digital assistants each with varying capabilities of improving your life. Alexa now has more than 15,000 skills, meaning any Echo device can go beyond describing the weather or playing music. The Google Assistant, first released in 2016, is catching up. So why buy one now? First, theyre relatively inexpensive and far easier to use and understand than they were when first released. Think back to MP3 players or early smartphones: people learned a lot about using the products and became so adjusted to them that they didnt know how to go back. Second, the future is paved with smart home devices, and voice-activated assistants to control them are becoming ubiquitous. The Echo and Google Home are no longer test products the companies behind them want them to last. Disponı́vel em: www.nytimes.com.

(UFU - 2018 - 1aFASE) A Shoe Engineered to Boost Performance By Julia Zorthian Imagine a shoe that lets you run faster, pivot better and jump higher. Thats the idea behind the Futurecraft 4D, a new sneaker whose midsole can be expertly tailored to the needs of its wearersnot only in size and shape, but also in flexibility, impact type, cushioning and more. The key is the 3-D printing process, which enables the company to look at every single square millimeter of a midsole and tune it from a performance standpoint, says Al VanNoy, who headed the project. It would take weeks to make those modifications using traditional shoemaking methods. But the Futurecraft 4D midsoles can be printed in as little as two hours, meaning they could even be produced in stores. At least thats a possibility for the future. Disponı́vel em: http://time.com.

(UFU - 2017- 1 FASE) Could Eating a Second Breakfast Help You Lose Weight? by Alexa Erickson Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? So why not have two? Theres a growing trend promoting a second breakfast as a weight-loss mechanism. The idea: If you eat more in the morning, youll be less likely to snack at night, when, according to research, its harder to burn off calories. Now theres research adding weight to this claim. A study conducted by researchers at Yale and the University of Connecticut suggests that eating something small to jump-start your metabolism followed by a slightly larger meal an hour or two later can keep you satiated until lunchtime and help prevent overeating throughout the rest of the day. The study, published in the journal Pediatric Obesity, tracked the weight and breakfast-eating patterns of students from 12 randomly selected urban area schools over the course of two years. The team looked at six different eating patterns: frequent breakfast skippers, inconsistent school eaters, inconsistent home eaters, frequent school eaters, frequent home eaters, and double-breakfast eaters. They found that it was the frequent breakfast skippers who showed increased odds of becoming overweight or obese compared to the double-breakfast eaters.

(UFU - 2017- 1 FASE) Rare Coffin Birth Found in Black Death Burial Site by Rossella Lorenzi Researchers investigating a 14th century burial ground have identified a rare case of coffin birth - a gruesome phenomenon in which a deceased pregnant womans fetus is expelled within the grave. The event, which has seldom been reported in archaeology, is known as postmortem fetal extrusion. It results from a build-up of gas pressure within the decomposing body. In this case, we have a partial expulsion of a 38- to 40-week-old fetus, which was found to be complete and to lie within the birth canal, Deneb Cesana, at the University of Genova, told Seeker.

(UFU - 2017- 1 FASE) Surgeons Conduct Head Transplants on Rats, Say Humans Are Next After 14 head transplants on rats, a pair of surgeons say they will attempt a human head transplant in the next 10 months in China. by Eva Hershaw Chinese scientists have transplanted the head of a donor rat onto the back of a host body, creating an equally garish and impressive two-headed rat that may offer insights into the viability of an eventual human head transplant. The process, which was done by way of a rat triad, which included a donor, recipient, and blood supply rat, provided a continuous blood supply to the donor brain throughout the transplant, avoiding brain tissue hypothermia a condition where the brain suffers in absence of a blood supply. The problem has long been one of the major barriers to carrying out a successful head transplant in animal specimens.
