Mastering the finer points of grammar will have you sounding more natural and accomplished no matter what your current skill level is. Indeed, your language learning success depends on paying attention to the details. Contractions are an important detail because they occur so frequently in Portuguese. As you know from English usage, contractions are formed when two words combine to create a single new word. Let's look at four significant combinations closely.
The Portuguese word for the preposition of is often used with the definite article, the.


Recently, I attended the AIIP.org annual conference in Denver. Presenters included Debra Fine (author of The Art of Small Talk and other books), Erika Napoletano (The Power of Unpopular), and Aaron Templar, who presented the Roger Summit Lecture.
Templar urged us to "connect" – to inspire, encourage, and engage with clients, potential clients, friends and colleagues.
He encouraged us to read Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives and commented that there is a difference between convincing versus connecting and controlling versus aligning.
He talked about the trait of "remarkability" – the commitment to "doing" which is all about leadership and something that sets you apart. It doesn't matter that you are great, but that you are great to someone, especially "me". Think about folks you like the most – you like being around, listening to their stories and feel energized after being with them. These are the type of people you owe the most to whom seldom ask for favors.
What type of person are you? Are you "remarkable" and do you give more than you take?

The role of the Hampden Underwriting Research (HUR) team is to analyse the syndicates which are currently available to our clients, as well as to source new opportunities.
This might be new structures to access business underwritten by an existing syndicate, or by supporting a start-up syndicate. Sometimes these can be exclusive opportunities for Hampden's clients. This work is backed by in-depth research into the insurance and reinsurance markets that provides the backdrop to the trading environment for our syndicates.
HUR's eight experienced analysts approach the market from complementary backgrounds of expertise within the Lloyd's Market. Hampden's clients have direct access to the team at all times. HUR also produces a regular set of research reports which enables our clients to keep up to date with the frequent changes in the Market.
Importantly, HUR's annual 'Syndicate Profiles' provide a comprehensive analysis of each syndicate so that clients can discuss their portfolios with their Members' Executive. For those clients who prefer not to pick individual syndicates HUR also manages the discretionary portfolios called MAPAs.

Join our webinar on bringing cases before the European Commission
As part of our advocacy to ensure that EU law is applied without discrimination and that CJEU judgments recognising LGBTI rights, like the Coman judgement, are properly implemented in all EU Member States, ILGA-Europe is holding a webinar on bringing cases to the European Commission.
Bringing complaints before the European Commission serves as a basis for raising awareness on the obstacles faced by LGBTI people, and for initiating a formal infringement procedure against a Member State to help ensure its compliance with EU law.
This webinar is for all LGBTI organisations and activists in the European Union. Our speakers and experts will share their experience of bringing cases to the European Commission on discriminatory application of EU law and failure of implementation of CJEU judgments, as well as provide guidance on EU law aspects that can be challenged through the procedure.
The webinar will take place on Thursday, 30 April 2020 between 10:00 and 11:30 CEST.
Moderated by Arpi Avetisyan, Senior Litigation Officer at ILGA-Europe, the panel will host:
Teodora Ion-Rotaru – Executive Director of ACCEPT Romania,
Professor Alina Tryfonidou – Professor of Law at the University of Reading, and
Etienne Deshoulières – Deshoulières Avocats Associés Law Firm.
Contributions from European Commission experts:
Maria Vilar Badia, Legislative Officer at DG JUST of the European Commission,
Bénédicte Marquet, Legal and Policy officer at DG JUST of the European Commission, Unit – Union citizenship rights and free movement.
To attend the webinar, register here in advance.

Is the Movement to Label GMOs Anti-Science?
Posted on June 14, 2013 by Carole Bartolotto, MA, RD
by Carole Bartolotto, MA, RD
One of the criticisms I hear about the movement to label genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is that it's anti-science. Some even go so far as to say it's an assault on science. While I can't speak for the entire movement, I can say that the lack of research in humans and troubling findings in some animal studies is enough to make me question the safety and necessity of GMOs.
The research related to GMOs can be hard to sort through. One study may find health problems in animals, but then proponents and biotech scientists say the study is flawed. But are there any scientists that question the safety and effectiveness of GMOs?
Over the past few months, I have spoken with scientist Michael Hansen, PhD, who is an expert on genetically modified crops. Dr. Hansen works for the Consumers Union, the safety and advocacy arm of the organization Consumer Reports. Consumers Union is not funded by agribusiness, or other multinational companies tied to the biotech or food industry. Therefore its opinions are not influenced by industry money.
Dr. Hansen has testified at many hearings in support of GMO labeling both nationally and internationally. And he has been interviewed on a lot of television and radio shows, including the Dr. Oz Show, which aired on March 26, 2013. He is willing to answer some of my questions about GMOs, also know as genetically engineered crops.
1. Does the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) do safety testing on genetically modified crops?
No, they do not. Nor do they require any companies to do safety testing of their genetically engineered (GE) crops. The FDA policy on GE was introduced as a deregulatory initiative in 1993. It is based on the notion that genetic engineering is an extension of traditional plant breeding and should be regulated in the same way. In other words, no requirement for human safety testing; instead there are voluntary safety consultations.
2. What are voluntary safety consultations?
The companies that create GE crops do their own food safety assessments, which the FDA reviews. At the end of the consultation process the FDA sends a letter to the company. Here is an excerpt from one letter which says, "Based on the safety and nutritional assessment you have conducted, it is our understanding that Monsanto has concluded that corn grain and forage derived from the new variety are not materially different in composition, safety, or other relevant parameters from corn grain and forage currently on the market, and that they do not raise issues that would require premarket review or approval by FDA." [emphasis added]. A version of this sentence is in all 97 "safety" consultation letters.
In other words, the FDA does not state its own opinion about the safety of GE crops. It only states what the company believes.
3. What are the potential health risks associated with Genetically Engineered Crops?
Human safety concerns may arise from genetic engineering due to the introduction of new allergens, an increased level of naturally occurring allergens, plant toxins, or changes in nutrition. GE crops may also have a negative effect on the gut and peripheral immune response. A meta-analysis of animal feeding studies involving GE crops suggests that they cause liver and kidney problems. And a new well-designed, long-term feeding study has found that pigs consuming GE corn and soy had significantly higher rates of severe stomach inflammation and females had significant thickening of the uterus.
In addition, GE plant material is finding its way into the human body with unknown health effects. A study found the toxin from GE corn in 93 percent of maternal and 80 percent of fetal blood samples. Clearly, more research is needed.
4. The Séralini study published in October, 2012, has gotten a lot of criticism. Do you think it has merit?
Yes, I do. The study was a follow-up to Monsanto's 90-day feeding study on its NK603 corn. The Séralini study, which continued for 2 years, found that female rats fed this GE corn died 2-3 times more quickly, and developed mammary tumors more often than controls that ate non-GE corn. Male rats fed the GE corn had liver and kidney problems at higher rates than controls, and more large tumors than rats fed non-GE corn.
The study received a lot of media attention. It was viciously attacked in the media by pro-GE and industry-affiliated scientists in what appears to have been an orchestrated campaign.
The two main criticisms were that they used too few rats per group and that they used a strain of rat that is prone to mammary tumors as they age. Both criticisms are off base.
The Séralini study used 10 rats per group, the same number of rats that Monsanto used in their 90-day feeding study to look at key biological parameters. If ten rats are too small a sample size to demonstrate health problems, how come ten rats are a sufficient sample size to demonstrate no safety concerns?
As for the type of rat used, Séralini used the same strain, Sprague Dawley (SD), that was used in the Monsanto feeding study on its NK603 GE corn and its 2 year feeding study looking at the safety of glyphosate. Why is use of SD rat's bad when Séralini uses them, but okay when Monsanto and other biotech companies use them?
If Séralini's study is flawed, then so is Monsanto's, and the safety of their GE corn should be reassessed.
5. Have GMOs helped to feed the world, reduce the use of pesticides, or increase yield as proponents have promised?
No. Dr. Charles Benbrook's work has shown that GE crops in the U.S. have lead to a dramatic expansion in pesticide use, particularly herbicides. Indeed, over the past 16 years there has been an increase of about 404 million pounds more herbicides used on GE crops, compared to non-GE crops. Work by Dr. Doug Gurian-Sherman has shown that genetic engineering doesn't really increase crop yield.
6. Why do you think foods with GMO ingredients should be labeled?
There are a lot of uncertainties related to genetically engineered crops including potential allergens and unknown health risks. If these foods are not labeled, it will be very difficult to identify an unexpected health effect resulting from eating a genetically modified food. For more information, see here.

Thank you for your posts on this topic and your pro-labeling stance. I just finished reading "Pandora's Lunchbox", which is all about the weird substances added to processed food. Many of those ingredients, like GE ones, do not require mentioning on labels because food companies have decided they must be safe. I would not bet on it.
Carole Bartolotto, MA, RD on June 18, 2013 at 12:00 am said:
Thanks Lisa! I would not bet on it either. Eating more whole foods that are plant-based will be better for us on a number of levels.

If GMO food is not good enough for the French, then it's not good enough for me.
It's my understanding that they will decline to import any GMO adulterated U.S. products.

Add texture and contrast to your home decor with bold Turkish blankets! These blankets are extremely versatile. They are ideal as bed spreads, snuggling up on the sofa or even beach blankets. These pom-pom blankets are heavier than traditional Turkish blankets and each is adorned with 14 yarn pom-poms to add a fun boho touch!
Originally used in Turkish baths, Turkish towels, also known as peshtemals or hammam towels, have been traditionally hand-loomed in Turkey for centuries. They are made using extra-long fibers which gives them a lightweight, yet highly absorbent quality. Our Turkish towels have been loomed in Babadağ, a small mountain village in southwest Turkey by a local cooperative. The group prides themselves on keeping the looming tradition alive, utilizing manual craftsmanship without compromising quality. The fringe is hand knotted and they only use eco-friendly, 100% natural fibers such as cotton and bamboo. From start to finish, the entire process is done in house. The patterns feature vibrant motifs conveying the timeless cultural heritage of the Anatolia culture.


The purpose of this call for proposals was to select seven emblematic projects in Europe, all illustrating the theme of intercultural dialogue. REF joined for cooperation; Beata Olahova, Manager of grant programs participated. Beata participated in a conference in August, prepared a policy paper, and at the closing of the one year project participated in the project evaluation.
The closing event was held in Brussels 4-5 December 2008.


"I am 91. Carrying oxygen is miserable. Each cannister only gives me two hours of oxygen and the chord is too easy to trip over. It is what I get for smoking. I gave it up 60 years ago and still have COPD. My husband smoked and had a cigarette the day he died in 1989 and he had one full lung. I didn't tell anyone I was smoking three packs a day. I had a new baby and I was going for the cigarettes before the baby so I decided I better give them up. I just got in the habit and became a chain smoker.
My father was a lawyer, my mother was French and they met in WWl. My father was in supplies and working with her brother and her brother took him home to meet his family. That is how he met my mother. He went back to the U.S., started a law practice, and went back to France to marry her. She was 17 and he was 34. They were married over 50 years. My father was 9 when his father died and he used to live next door to Teddy Roosevelt and went on walks with Teddy when he was head of the Army or something like that. Roosevelt was a good influence in his life. This was in Washington D.C. and they went to the park and played touch football in the park. My father was a dedicated Republican and I grew up in Republican politics. My mother started a radio program Memories of France and Arthur Godfrey was her first announcer.
I got married and moved to Connecticut. They called me and said they were working for Taft against Eisenhower for president and I volunteered. I had never driven a car so they came to pick me up and I went to work to help Taft. I spoke French because we went to France every summer before the war started and I got a job with the North African mission in Washington. I had a major disagreement with them and went to work for the Navy and rode the streetcar all of the way through town every day. I went to work for the Belgians until I got a job with food and agriculture at the U.N. and worked at the U.N. for two years until I got married.
I was a happy housewife but couldn't stand being idle. A friend of mine who was a reporter for the Bridgeport Post was getting old like I am now and asked me to start covering the board of education meetings. She liked the way I wrote. Our representative put my name in for the Waterbury Republican who wanted a reporter. They gave me a handbook and the number to call in my stories. I got to cover the Hell's Angels murder case. I was home scrubbing the kitchen floor but listening to the radio, I was always listening for stories. They said there was a shootout in Sandy Hook so I threw off my apron and grabbed my camera and went to find the story. The manager of the liquor store across the street took me where I could see and there were bodies in the courtyard of the hotel. I got the pictures of the bodies and that went on the first page. I loved every minute of reporting. It consumed me.
I had a kidney problem all of my life. I had 13 pregnancies and lost 8 babies. I was in the hospital for six weeks with my son, he was born at six months and only lived for 2 days.
I was vice president of the state Federation of Republican Women and went to the national convention. Ronald Reagan wanted the nomination and was going to be there. I had reporter's instincts and when I heard commotion at the elevator I pushed my way on and got on the elevator with Reagan. I had on my press badge and told his press secretary I wanted to go to his press conference and Reagan said, 'of course you can come.' I changed and ended up on the elevator with him again. He escorted me into the room and there were about 500 press people. At the end, I went up to the front line. He grabbed me by the arm and said he wanted to talk to me to know what the women of Connecticut think. We went into a private room and I had a private interview with Ronald Reagan. Reagan never changed and always stayed the same with his policies.
My husband got sick and we moved to Florida and I had to quit my newspaper job and got more involved in politics. I have no interest in politics now because it is not the same party. I can't understand Donald Trump. Politics should be about human beings, not money.
What an interesting life! I love her open, honest approach and I bet her memoirs would be a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Ms. Helene is one dynamic lady! We love our Villager!

Self-pollination
Many cultivated plant species reproduce by self-pollination. Plant species showing self-pollination, i.e., inbreeding, are generally annuals or, in any case, short lived.These species, as a rule, must have hermaphrodite flowers. But in most of these species, self- pollination is not complete and cross-pollination may occur up to 5%.The degree of cross-pollination in self-pollinated species is affected by several factors, e.g., variety, environmental conditions like temperature, humidity and location.
Mechanism promoting self-pollination
The various mechanisms that promote self-pollination are
Cleistogamy: In this case, flowers do not open at all. This ensures complete self pollination since foreign pollen cannot reach the stigma of a closed flower.
Chasmogamy: In some species, the flowers open, but only after pollination has taken place.
In crops like tomato (S.lycopersicum) and brinjal (S. melongena), the stigma is closely surrounded by anthers, pollination generally occurs after the flowers open. But the position of anthers in relation to stigma ensures self-pollination.
In some species, flowers open but the stamens and the stigma are hidden by other floral organs.
In peas (P.sativum), the stamens and the stigma are enclosed by the two petals forming a keel.
In a few species, stigma become receptive and elongate through the staminal columns.This ensures predominant self-pollination.

Exhibit showcases artists' materials from Atlanta Contemporary, Nexus Press collection
"Bound and Ready," an artist's book by Kim Knox, was published in 1993 by Nexus Press. Credit: Paige Knight, Emory Libraries at Emory University.
Emory acquires materials from Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Nexus Press June 1, 2015
MARBL finding aid: Atlanta Contemporary Art Center collection
Arts and Culture, Events, Emory in Atlanta, Libraries, MARBL
The exhibit "Artists' Books and Archives from Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Nexus Contemporary Art Center, and Nexus Press" will run Aug. 20, 2015, through May 15, 2016, on Level 2 of Emory's Robert W. Woodruff Library.
An exhibit of artists' books and other archival material from the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Nexus Contemporary Art Center and Nexus Press collection opens Aug. 20 on Level 2 of Emory's Robert W. Woodruff Library. The exhibit will highlight selected materials from the collection, recently acquired by the Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library (MARBL) at Emory University.
"Artists' Books and Archives from Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Nexus Contemporary Art Center, and Nexus Press" will feature approximately 15 artists' books displayed at a time in three cases. A fresh crop of books focusing on new themes will rotate in every three months. A fourth case will feature archival material from records of the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, the parent organization of Nexus Press.
Curators of the exhibit are Lauran Whitworth, a MARBL graduate curatorial assistant and doctoral candidate in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Emory; Julie Newton, conservator in the Emory Libraries Preservation Office; and Randy Gue, MARBL curator of modern political and historical collections.
"This exhibit will show that Nexus Press book artists were at the cutting-edge of the exploration of what celebrated book artist Ruth Laxson called 'the world between word and image,'" Newton says.
Gue says subject librarians Sandra Still and Kim Collins have spent years building the library's collection of these unique, locally produced books, several of which will be on display. The exhibit is open to the public at no charge.
Artists' books and themes in the exhibit will include:
Books that challenge the traditional book form, such as a pop-up book by internationally known book artist Carol Barton and Berwyn Hung's tongue-in-cheek pack of cigarettes inscribed with the statement "I swear this is absolutely the last cigarette I will ever smoke" printed on individual cigarettes.
Books focused on Atlanta and the South, featuring works by local artists, some with Emory connections, including "Bound and Ready" by Kim Knox Norman, a former conservator in the Emory Libraries Preservation Office.
Books produced by Nexus Press for the 1996 Cultural Olympiad, a project focused on bringing culture and arts to the Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta that year. Nexus Press published five books (for the five Olympic rings) produced by book artists from around the globe, including one by Canadian Shelagh Keeley titled "Desire and the Importance of Failure," a book that Whitworth says "was chosen to represent all of North America."
"I am excited about this exhibit because it brings together the library's long-term holdings — books created by Nexus Press — with the new acquisition of the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center records," Gue says. "The exhibit highlights Atlanta Contemporary's important role as the place where the local, regional, national and international contemporary arts community interacted with Atlanta and the South."
The Woodruff Library at Emory University is located at 540 Asbury Circle in Atlanta, 30322. The exhibit, open during regular library hours, will conclude May 15, 2016. Parking is available in the Fishburne deck.

Nick Moran starts UK shoot for big-screen version of Telstar
By Wendy Mitchell2007-07-09T16:10:00+01:00
First-time feature director Nick Moran started principal photography today for Telstar, which will shoot for six weeks at Twickenham Film Studios in the UK.
The tragi-comedy is based on the true story of Joe Meek, the first independent record producer whose rise to fame led to a tragic downfall.
Moran, an actor who appeared in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, wrote the original screenplay with James Hicks.
Simon Jordan, the chairman of Crystal Palace Football Club, brought the Telstar story to the stage in London's West End in 2005, and he is producing and independently financing the film, a project of Aspiration Films.
Adam Bohling and David Reid, who both worked on Matthew Vaughn's Layer Cake, are producing with Jordan.
Con O'Neill, who was nominated for an Olivier Award for his stage portrayal of Meek, will reprise the role in the big-screen version.
Telstar's cast also includes Kevin Spacey, JJ Field, Tom Burke, Sid Mitchell, James Corden, Ralf Little, Pam Ferris and 1960s rockers Jess Conrad, John Leyton and Chas Hodges.
'Having financed the West End stage play and seen the rollercoaster of emotions this story evokes, coupled with the exceptional performances, making this movie for me was a must. My passion for this project is enormous and I have great belief in Nick as a director,' Jordan said. 'I hold my fellow producers Adam Bohling and David Reid in very high regard, along with a fantastic ensemble of great actors and a production team who share my passion and enthusiasm for telling a great British story about an iconic British figure.'
Notting Hill Film Festival opens with Bananaz, Telstar
2009-07-02T05:11:00Contributing Editor Sarah Cooper
The Notting Hill Film Festival will kick off on July 10 with the Gorrillaz docu-film Bananaz, directed by Ceri Levy, followed by Nick Moran's directorial debut Telstar.

The immediate period following the death of a loved one is a difficult time. Often loved ones are tasked with planning memorial services, making burial arrangements, and hosting friends and family who wish to convey their final respects to the decedent. Usually, no personal representative of the decedent's estate is appointed until several days or weeks following the loved one's date of death. Accordingly, securing the decedent's property is, understandably, not always top of mind or even possible. In the meantime, however, individuals that feel entitled to share in the decedent's estate may begin to help themselves to the decedent's property, particularly when there is family disharmony. Most commonly, items of tangible personal property like important records, art, heirlooms, furniture, tools, jewelry or automobiles are taken. Other items may also be taken, particularly by individuals with access, including cash, credit cards, and money in bank accounts.
The law provides the executor or administrator of a decedent's estate procedures to remedy this situation. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 28A-15-12 provides that a personal representative of a decedent's estate has the right to bring a civil action to recover the decedent's property. Importantly, this includes the right to require a person reasonably believed to be in possession of the decedent's property to appear before the court and submit to an examination, in the form of a hearing, regarding the property believed to be in the person's possession. The person can be asked, under oath, regarding the whereabouts of the property and, if determined to be in that person's possession or control, the person can be ordered to turn the property over to the personal representative and required to pay the costs of the proceeding.
In our experience, this procedure is usually instituted before the Clerk of Superior Court although the action can be brought in the Superior Court Division of the General Court of Justice. A petition before the clerk requires a short and plain statement of the claim that is sufficiently particular to give the court and the parties notice of the matter at issue and a demand for judgment for relief. The petition is filed by the personal representative in the estate file followed by the issuance of an "Estate Proceeding Summons" to the person named as the respondent in the petition. The summons is generally served on the party by the Sherriff and notifies the respondent that he or she has 20 days to respond to the petition by serving a written response upon the petitioner or the petitioner's attorney. After the 20 day period has expired, the petitioner can schedule a hearing and serve a notice of hearing on the respondent. If the respondent does not show up for the hearing, the clerk may enter an order granting the relief requested by the petitioner which the Sheriff may then generally execute in the same manner as other civil orders.
An action to recover a decedent's property is not limited to natural persons. A corporation, trust, bank or other financial institution that refuses to turnover property of the decedent may also be named as a respondent in such a proceeding. Personal representatives should therefore be aware of their rights and consider using such a claim to recover property wrongfully in possession of the decedent's property.

Microsoft 'extremely committed' to Xbox

Microsoft has denied rumours that it may be looking to sell off its Xbox division, with Phil Spencer claiming the company remains 'extremely committed' despite rumblings of discontent among shareholders.
The launch of Microsoft's Xbox console in 2001 was a considerable departure from the company's core competency of software provision. Although Microsoft had dabbled in hardware before, it had typically limited itself to supporting products for its Windows operating system - mice, keyboards, and the occasional joystick. The Xbox, by contrast, was a fully-fledged games console featuring integrated network connectivity and a custom operating system incompatible with software written for its Windows OS.
The departure proved successful: Microsoft sold tens of millions of Xbox units, and its follow-up the Xbox 360 has sold more than 80 million units to date. Its latest revision of the hardware, the Xbox One, however, is having something of a shaky start. Launching alongside Sony's PlayStation 4 - rather than the year-long head-start enjoyed by its predecessor - the Xbox One sells for a higher price thanks to a bundled Kinect camera system and features lower-performance graphics hardware, although Microsoft has stated that its soon-to-launch cloud computing system will let developers tap into additional power in future titles.
The result: figures suggest that Sony is outselling Microsoft by as much as 2:1 in this latest console generation, and that has shareholders antsy. So much so, in fact, that it has been reported that two major shareholders are attempting to convince new chief executive Satya Nadella to sell off the Xbox brand to the highest bidder and concentrate more on the company's traditional software roots.
For those who have bought an Xbox One, though, the news that such a move seems unlikely will come as a relief. 'Xbox is a really critical brand for us as a company as Microsoft; when you think about consumers, what they love about our company, Xbox is one of the most beloved brands that the company has,' Polygon reports Microsoft's Phil Spencer as stating during a gaming panel at SXSW. 'It's something that resonates well inside the walls when you're talking to the teams, or when I stand in front of Xbox fans, I want to make sure that they understand we are extremely committed to this product.'
Microsoft recently appointed Stephen Elop, former head of Finnish mobile specialist Nokia, as the head of its Xbox division.

This is how a boy group sounds in 2018!! Boygroups have always been very successful in the past, the question is how to bring that into 2018?! NOBLE TONEZ gives the answer, combining the classic boy group elements with a new school touch. Their lineup consists of 2 singers and a rapper, forming a very unique and new modern sound.
Based on their experience and influences in songwriting for different artists, NOBLE TONEZ specialized their skills on making hits that move the masses.
"Alone" ist the next single after "Senorita" released on Tokabeatz. NOBLE TONEZ stand for entertainment even beyond the music! It's a three men show on and off the stage, with a lot of self irony besides exciting music.
