Alberto Santos Dumont (1873-1932) was born

in Brazil and educated in Paris. He made his first
balloon ascent in 1898 and, soon after that, began
constructing dirigible airships. In 1901 he won a
Paris air race and international fame. (After the race,
he asked Louis Cartier for a timepiece that would keep
his hands free - the first wristwatch.)
Turning to heavier-than-air machines, Santos
Dumont built his 14-Bis in 1906, three years after the
Wright brothers’ initial flight. His flight was the first in
Europe, and his plane was the first anywhere to lift off
the ground under its own power. In 1909 Santos
Dumont designed the Demoiselle monoplane, the first
modern light plane.

SOME OF THE INTERNET'S CRAZIEST
CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Michael Jackson Is Still Alive
1
The advent of the internet hasn't just 2cooked
up new conspiracy theories, it's also accelerated
existing ones. If you refuse to believe that it was the
Iranians that killed him, perhaps you'll be convinced
that MJ is actually still alive. Proof? 3His own daughter
Paris Jackson took a photo of him. Seriously. What do
you mean you don't see him? 4He's right there in the
back seat, 5stacked under that pile of clothes wearing
his iconic hat. Believe, man. Thriller Vol.2 to drop next
year.
The Moon Doesn't Exist
It's no good looking at it, night after night. The
moon doesn't exist. It's a hologram, put there by
persons unknown. Of course, serial conspiracy theorist
David Icke has a theory. There are also countless
YouTubers keeping an eye out, one of whom has gone
as far as "looking at it regularly for a year".
Jay Z Is A Time-Travelling Vampire
There are vast regions of the internet devoted
to explaining why Jay Z is part of the Illuminati.
6
Hence when this photo, which was taken in New York
in 1939, appeared last year, he was accused of being a
time-traveller. And a vampire. This video lists other
old-time celebrity 7lookalikes, as well as suggesting
that 8Hollywood stars don't age because they're the
immortal bloodsucking undead. Not because they're
9
stuffed with botox, then?
The Earth Is Hollow
10
Don't give up, readers. We're halfway
through this list. We can make it to the end. 11Dig
deep. Well, not 12too deep. You see, the Earth is
13
hollow and accessible via portals at the north and
south poles. Luckily though, it's quite habitable down
there, providing excellent living 14quarters for the lost
Viking colonies of Greenland and the Nazis, while
"aliens" are in fact just visitors from the subterranean
areas.
Siri Can Predict The Apocalypse
Amazing as it may seem, given that 15it can't
do anything else you actually ask it to do, Siri can
predict the apocalypse. When asked "What day is 27th
July 2014?", Apple's assistant replied, "The opening of
the gate of Hades", 16aka The End Of The World. That
date has now passed without 17issue. Say what you
like about the maligned MS Office paperclip, but at
least he didn't 18scaremonger that the end was near.

We All Live In The Matrix And Billionaires
Want To Break Us Out Of It
The New Yorker’s Tad Friend claims that many
people in Silicon Valley are obsessed with the idea that
we're all living in a Matrix-like simulation, and some
are taking that obsession a stage 20further: “Two tech
billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage
scientists to work on breaking us out of the
simulation.” Here's hoping Mark Zuckerberg is 'The
One', yeah?
Hitler Is Still Alive
"21Hitler is still alive" rumours have circulated
since the 1970s, fuelled by the fact that his crony Josef
Mengele hid in South America. Stories like this one,
however, speculate the 125-year-old Hitler has been
responsible for various world disasters, including 9/11
and the 2010 Gulf oil spill, which happened on his
birthday. Other theories say he died in 1984 in Brazil,
aged 94. Or in Argentina, aged 73.

TEXTO PARA AS PRÓXIMAS 2 QUESTÕES:
Read the text below and answer question(s) according
to it.
Most Common Prejudices
What are some of the most common ways
people discriminate against each other? Some of the
areas where people show their intolerance are well-
known, such as race. But 1others are less
2
acknowledged, even if more common:
Age: 3Ageism is more common than you think. Older
people are thought to be inflexible and 4stuck in the
past, while younger people are seen as inexperienced
and naive. 5One-fifth of working adults say they
experience ageism in the 6workplace.
Class: Classism usually takes the form of
discrimination by wealthier people against those who
are less well off. However, classism goes both ways –
people of lower economic status can see the wealthy
as elite snobs who, while monetarily secure, are
morally 7bankrupt.
Color: Different from racism, colorism is discrimination
based only on the color of a person’s skin; how
relatively dark or light they are. Colorism takes place
within and between races. It is common in multi-ethnic
and non-white societies and societies with historical
racial prejudice.
Ability: 8Usually called ableism, a less well-known
form of prejudice is discrimination against people with
visible disabilities such as 9those in wheelchairs or with
a learning disability. The disabled face discrimination
not only from their 10peers, but from institutions,
schools, employers, and 11landowners who are hesitant
to accommodate the disabled.
Sex/Gender: Possibly the most universal and long
running prejudice is that based on a person’s gender
or sex. Historically, sexism has placed men in a more
advantageous position than women.
Weight/Size: In short, sizeism is discrimination
based on 12a person’s body size or weight. Sizeism
works with social standards of beauty and usually
takes the form of discrimination against the overweight
– anti-fat prejudice.
Religion: Religious discrimination and 13persecution
has been common throughout history. But 14prejudice
based on religious affiliation doesn’t end with
organized religion; 15atheists are 16prone to
discrimination and being discriminated against.
Sexual Orientation: Most commonly, prejudice
based on sexual orientation includes discrimination
against those of a non-heterosexual orientation.
Discrimination against the non-heterosexual takes
many forms depending on the society. In some
societies prejudice is open and tolerated, but in most
Western societies, 17bias against the non-heterosexual
is more discreet.
Country of Origin: Nativism is a common form of
discrimination against immigrants to a country. Unlike
many other forms of discrimination, nativism is many
times encouraged and enforced by some public
entities.

This migrant crisis is different from all others
2015 was unquestionably the year of the
migrant. The news was dominated for months by
pictures of vast crowds shuffling through the borders

of yet another European country, being
treated with brutality in some places and given a
reluctant welcome in others.
When researching a report for radio and
television about the migrant phenomenon, it is
possible to realize that there was nothing new about it.
For many years, waves of displaced and frightened
people have broken over Europe again and again and
the images have been strikingly similar each time.
In 1945, _____1_____ the ethnic Germans,
forced out of their homes in Poland, Czechoslovakia
and Russia and obliged to seek shelter in a shattered
and divided Germany. More recently, we can see
floods of Albanian refugees escaping from the ethnic
cleansing of the Serbian forces in Kosovo in 1998 and
1999.
Yet there is one major difference between
these waves of migrants in the past and the one we
saw in 2015. Professor Alex Betts, director of the
Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford University says that
it was the first time Europe faced people coming in
from the outside in large numbers as refugees. He
explains: “The fact that many are Muslims is perceived
as challenging Europe’s identity.” European societies
are changing very fast, indeed, as a result of
immigration. In London, for instance, more than 300
languages are now spoken, according to a recent
academic study. The influx of migrants reinforces
people’s sense that their identity is under threat.
But how can the world deal conclusively with
the problem? The former UN under-secretary-general
for humanitarian affairs, Sir John Holmes, blames
global governance. “Other powers are rising,” he says
– Syria is an example of this. “And the United States
doesn’t have the influence it once did, so the problem’s
not being fixed, no-one’s waving the big stick and
we’re having to pick up the pieces.” We have endured
an entire century of exile and homelessness and the
cause is always the same - conflict and bad
government. Unless these are dealt with, the flow of
migrants will never be stopped.

Frequently Asked Questions – Instagram
What is Instagram?
It’s an application for your mobile phone that enables
you to edit pictures you have taken with your mobile
phone camera using built-in filters and share them
with others. If you have an Instagram account you can
tag pictures, rate and comment on other people’s
pictures and follow other users.
How much is your app?
$ 0,00.
Where does the name come from?
When we were kids we loved playing around with
cameras. We loved how different types of old cameras
marketed themselves as “instant” - something we take
for granted today. We also felt that the snapshots
people were taking were like telegrams in that they got
sent over the wire to others - so we figured why not
combine the two?
How did the idea come about?
We love taking photos. We always assumed taking
interesting photos required a big bulky camera and a
couple years of art school. But as mobile phone
cameras got better and better, we decided to
challenge that assumption. We created Instagram to
solve three simple problems:
- Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre.
Our awesome looking filters transform your photos
into professional-looking snapshots.
- Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you
take a picture once, then share it (instantly) on
multiple services.

- Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take
forever - we’ve optimized the experience to be fast

How does privacy work?
We have adopted a follower model that means if
you’re “public” on Instagram, anyone can subscribe to
follow your photos. We do, however, have a special
private option. In this mode, a user can make sure
he/she must approve all follow requests before they go
through.
Who can see my photos?
All photos are public by default which means they are
visible to anyone who has an account. If you choose to
make your account private, then only people who
follow you on Instagram will be able to see your
photos.

Are any foods safe to eat anymore? The fears
and the facts
Food was once seen as a source of sustenance and
pleasure. Today, the dinner table can instead begin to
feel like a minefield. Is bacon really a risk factor of
cancer? Will coffee or eggs give you a heart attack?
Does wheat contribute to Alzheimer’s disease? Will
dairy products clog up your arteries? Worse still, the
advice changes continually. As TV-cook Nigella Lawson
recently put it: “You can guarantee that what people
think will be good for you this year, they won’t next
year.”
This may be somewhat inevitable: evidence-based
health advice should be constantly updated as new
studies explore the nuances of what we eat and the
effects the meals have on our bodies. But when the
media (and ill-informed health gurus) exaggerate the
results of a study without providing the context, it can
lead to unnecessary fears that may, ironically, push
you towards less healthy choices.

according to it.
Music therapy with cancer patients
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in
the United States, in Germany and in many other
industrialized countries. In 2007, about 12 million
people were diagnosed with cancer worldwide with a
mortality rate of 7.6 million (American Cancer Society,
2007). In the industrial countries, 1the most commonly
diagnosed cancers in men are prostate cancer, lung
cancer and colorectal cancer. Women are most
commonly diagnosed with breast cancer, gastric
cancer and lung cancer.
The symptoms of cancer depend on the type
of the disease, but there are common symptoms
caused by cancer and/or by its medical treatment
(e.g., chemotherapy and radiation). Common physical
symptoms are pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, loss of
appetite, nausea (feeling sick, vomiting), dizziness,
limited physical activity, hair loss, a sore mouth/throat
and bowel problems. 2Cancer also often causes
psychological problems such as depression, anxiety,
mood disturbances, stress, insecurity, grief and
decreased self-esteem. This, in turn, can implicate
social consequences. Social isolation can occur due to
physical or psychological symptoms (for example,
feeling too tired to meet friends, cutting oneself off
due to depressive complaints).
Besides conventional pharmacological
treatments of cancer, there are treatments to meet
psychological and physical needs of the patient.
Psychological consequences of cancer, such as
depression, anxiety or loss of control, can be
counteracted by psychotherapy. For example, within
cognitive therapy cancer patients may develop 3coping
strategies to handle the disease. Research indicates
that 4music therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy,
can have positive effects on both physiological and
psychological symptoms of cancer patients as well as
in acute or palliative situations.
There are several definitions of music therapy.
According to the World Federation of Music Therapy
(WFMT, 1996), music therapy is: “the use of music
 TEOREMA MILITAR
LISTA 03 – VOCABULÁRIO
PROFº MATEUS TEIXEIRA
and/or its music elements (sound, rhythm,
melody and harmony) by a qualified music therapist,
with a client or group, in a process designed to
facilitate and promote communication, relationship,
learning, mobilization, expression, organization, and
other relevant therapeutic objectives, in order to meet
physical, emotional, mental, social and cognitive
needs”.
The Dutch Music Therapy Association (NVCT,
1999) defines music therapy as “5a methodological
form of assistance in which musical means are used
within a therapeutic relation to manage changes,
developments, stabilisation or acceptance on the
emotional, behavioural, cognitive, social or on the
physical field”.
The assumption is that the 6patient's musical
behaviour conforms to their general behaviour. The
starting points are the features of the patient's specific
disorder or disease pattern. There is an analogy
between psychological problems and musical
behaviour, which means that emotions can be
expressed musically. 7For patients who have difficulties
in expressing emotions, music therapy can be a useful
medium. Music therapy might be a useful intervention
for breast cancer patients in order to facilitate and
enhance their emotional expressivity. 8Besides analogy,
there are further qualities of music that can be
beneficial within therapeutic treatment. One of these
qualities is symbolism: music can symbolize persons,
objects, incidents, experiences or memories of daily
life. 9Therefore, music is a reality, which represents
another reality. The symbolism of the musical reality
enables the patient to deal safely with the other reality
10
for it evokes memories about persons, objects or
incidents. These associations can be perceived as
positive or negative, so they release emotions in the
patient.
Music therapy both addresses physical and
psychological needs of the patient. Numerous studies
indicate that music therapy can be beneficial to both
acute cancer patients and palliative cancer patients in
the final stage of disease.
Most research with acute cancer patients
receiving chemotherapy, surgery or stem cell
transplantation examined the effectiveness of receptive
music therapy. Listening to music during
chemotherapy, either played live by the music
therapist or from tape has a positive effect on pain
perception, relaxation, anxiety and mood. There was
also found a decrease in diastolic blood pressure or
heart rate and an improvement in fatigue; insomnia
and appetite loss could be significantly decreased in
patients older than 45 years. Further improvements by
receptive music therapy were found for physical
comfort, vitality, dizziness and tolerability of the
chemotherapy. A study with patients undergoing
surgery found that receptive music therapy led to
decreased anxiety, stress and relaxation levels before,
during and after surgery. Music therapy can also be
applied in palliative situations, for example to patients
with terminal cancer who live in 11hospices.
Studies indicate that music therapy may be
beneficial for cancer patients in acute and palliative
situations, but the benefits of music therapy for
convalescing cancer patients remain unclear. Whereas
music therapy interventions for acute and palliative
patients often focus on physiological and
psychosomatic symptoms, such as pain perception and
reducing medical side-effects, 13music therapy with
posthospital curative treatment could have its main
focus on psychological aspects. A cancer patient is not
free from cancer until five years after the tumour
ablation. The patient fears that the cancer has not
been defeated. In this stage of the disease, patients
frequently feel insecure, depressive and are
emotionally unstable. How to handle irksome and
negative emotions is an important issue for many
oncology patients. After the difficult period of the
medical treatment, which they often have overcome in
a prosaic way by masking emotions, 13patients often
express the wish to become aware of themselves
again. They may wish to grapple with negative
emotions due to their disease. Other patients wish to
experience positive feelings, such as enjoyment and
vitality.
The results indicate that music therapy can
also have positive influences on well-being of cancer
patients in the post-hospital curative stage as well as
they offer valuable information about patients' needs
in this state of treatment and how effects can be dealt
with properly.

[D]

A alternativa [D] está correta, pois a frase pode ser

entendida como: "Inglês é estranho. No entanto, ele
pode ser entendido por meio de pensamento difícil e
complexo". O efeito de humor é oriundo da
complexidade ortográfica do inglês, pois as palavras
em destaque apresentam essa característica.

Resposta da questão 18:

[B]

A alternativa [B] deve ser escolhida, pois possui o uso

correto da inversão "Not until he received her call did
he fully understand the situation" (Foi só quando ele
recebeu a ligação dela que ele entendeu
completamente a situação). A alternativa [D] está
errada, pois apesar de iniciar com uma expressão
negativa, ela não tem um caráter restritivo, não
podendo assim ser invertida.

Resposta da questão 19:

[C]

A alternativa [C] está correta, pois não há problema em

"made a lovely scarf", o que compromete o
entendimento da oração.

Resposta da questão 20:

A alternativa [A] está correta, pois possui uso correto

da locução adjetiva two-person. Pelo fato de ser
formada por um numeral e um substantivo, ela deve
ser hifenizada. Tradução: "Ele está vendendo uma
barraca de duas pessoas".
