Being a Santo Antonio's Student

I think that being a Santo Antonio's sutudent is good but not great. It has good and bad points. The good points are that it has a great atmosphere and it is too much better than others schools. The bad points are that we have a lot to study and lots of big homeworks. Although I think that studying at Santo Antonio has more bad points than good points, I don't love this but I like it.

Being a Santo Antonio's Student 

I think that being a Santo Antonio's student is very good, because we learn more than in other schools, like the public ones. But there are bad points too. We usually don't have time to play, and we have to study a lot and do lots of homework. Although I prefer sudying at Santo Antonio than in other schools, because in the end I love a lot that school.

We think that there are bad and good points at the internet. Among the positive impacts of social networks, the virtual relationships can help introverted adolescents learn how to socialize. Moreover, social networking can provide tools for teaching more attractive, able to promote the engagement of young students.But there are the bad points too, the addiction of games increases depression and worsening school performance, and can make teenagers vulnerable to anxiety.
 In the first place,internet is very important for some things, like to school projects and work. It is good to play on line games, to talk with friends and to know other people.
Using internet so much can be bad to psychological health, to the performance at school and can be detrimental to family behaving. The internet can be addictive as cigarette and drink.If you get addicted to the internet, you will just care about it ,and you'll probably ignore your parents' orders,and will ever be distracted to school and obligations.
 In conclusion, we think that internet is important and useful for our lives, but it can be very dangerous, because it's too addictive and that's bad for the quality of the live.

Players ask PES and FIFA women's football league with, EA refuses

The series Pro Evolution Soccer, Konami and FIFA, EA Sports are not only the most famous franchises in football today, but are also two of the most profitable series of games. However, one group believes that these games are generating a large segregation to ignore women's football in its annual editions.


A petition initiated by Fernanda Schabarum, Boca Raton, USA, asks for support from other players around the world to try to convince the two companies to expand their games for women. For this gives very interesting numbers: the FIFA franchise is present in 51 countries and translated into 18 languages, with over 100 million copies sold. PES is already sold in 62 countries, 19 languages ​​and sold over 75 million units.


On the target audience, the numbers are even more relevant: according to the Entertainment Software Association of the United States, 47% of video game players in the country are women. Furthermore, a search of the U.S. State Department indicates that 40% of football players there are also women. "Football is the most popular female sport in schools and, in some cases, female soccer players become more famous than men," says Schabarum.

The purpose of the petition is to allow girls and women to identify with the characters in these games, and encourage them to practice this sport. "Young girls can not be represented by male characters in video games." Remember that the U.S. women's soccer team has won two World Cups (91 and 99) and three gold medals in the Olympics in 96, 2004 and 2008.

At the time of publication, the petition had 3384 signatures obtained, and the goal is to reach 19 000. Many women, of course, support the cause. But men in the comments page of the application are also very positive.

The petition cites as "muses" Famous American players like Mia Hamm (who has won his own game on the Nintendo 64) and Hope Solo, but do not forget to Marta, the Brazilian team. Will these companies should include in their women's soccer games? If you think so, you can also read and sign the petition (in English) on the website Change.org.

EA refuses to put women in FIFA

In response to this online petition, Electronic Arts said it has no plans and does not intend to enter the women's game in a future edition of the FIFA series. Even with the appeal of the fans, the idea is not to head of production and their teams when developers.

"We had literally hundreds and hundreds of suggestions from our fans about new features and we have to evaluate these suggestions, such as the inclusion of players in the game, according to our resources, priorities and feedback from fans in general. At the moment, we have no plans to include something in the game, "said David Rutter, executive producer of the series.

FIFA 13 arrives in Brazil in October for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC version of the game will have Brazilian Tiago Leifert narration and comments Caio Ribeiro.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES

From: uol.com.br Title: Brazil has record number of medals, but evolution in the modes is small

Brazil won 17 medals in London (3 gold, 5 silver and 9 bronze), surpassing his record of podium finishes (15, achieved in Beijing and Atlanta-08-96). Despite winning more medals, the country has not had a significant evolution in terms of performance. A survey conducted by UOL Sport in London indicates that Brazil had over Beijing and Athens-08-04 best performances in 14 sports, but it was worse in 10 procedures (in other 6 performance was similar). To arrive at these figures, UOL Sport took into account, in addition to the medals, the number of finals played by Brazilians and the number of athletes for each sport. How late were considered all evidence worth medals.


From: globo.com Title: Injuries, falls and failures: check out the biggest disappointments in London

Every story and glory in overcoming Olympics, where there are always other chance and more unpredictable turn of events in the hopes big disappointments. Many of the favorites for gold in London left the competition with the brightness dimmed before opponents better prepared or even by individual errors.

A favorite at the gym, Diego Hypolito suffers fall
Double world champion in 2005 and 2007, Diego Hypolito disappointed in his presentation of soil in North Greenwich Arena in London. As in Beijing, he fell and stayed out of the fight for medals. Early in the series, made a jump with a height low and suffered the fall. Visibly shaken, he left the gym in tears. Diego apologized to the public and blamed only himself for the failure. In training podium before the premiere, the athlete revealed Santo André have felt pain in both feet, but still said he had made "the best series of the year."



From: globo.com Title: PC Vasconcellos: generation of Neymar and co. can not be crucified




The dream of Olympic gold in football was again postponed. Who would bet that the Brazilian would return to Brazil with unprecedented medal, just frustrated after the defeat by 2-1 to Mexico on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. The Mexican victory was a fair result, in the opinion of the commenter SporTV Paulo Cesar Vasconcellos, who expects the generation of Neymar and co. not be crucified for having lost the decision and stayed with silver in the London Olympics.

- It's easy to get to and esculhambando. It's the easiest way, but I understand that this is not the most productive way. You can not get to and crucifying this generation and the work that Mano Menezes is doing. There are hits and misses. This group has been assembled since the Copa America and is the basis of selection that the fans will see in the Confederations Cup and the World Cup - he said.

The journalist provides a thorough evaluation of work by Mano Menezes command of CBF, whereas the coaching staff and many players are also part of the selection page. But do not believe the output of technical and defends his stay.

- Who will have reviewed, have no doubt. As vai result, I do not know. I think this work should not be stopped. On some occasions, the president of the CBF (Jose Maria Marin) was not enthusiastic with the work of Mano. In my opinion, the balance of the Mano is favorárel - said.



After winning gold at Mexico, Paulo Cesar Vasconcellos said the adversary of Brazil deserved the medal, but did not consider silver a disaster for Brazilian football.

- Players can not feel diminished because they stayed with silver. There came the gold, patience. The selection has to follow your work. Mexico was superior, it was more organized. We should not be looking guilty.

Despite improvement in the second half, the journalist would not find just a draw in Brazil, which would take the game into overtime. For him, the game leaves many lessons for Mano Menezes.

- It is learning for this selection. This is a good game to look, see and review where the Brazilian failed. In a decisive match, an error is very costly - said.

After silver at the Olympics, the selection does not come home. Most players goes from London to Stockholm, where Brazil is friendly with Sweden next Wednesday at 15h (Brasilia time), with transmission SporTV.


                                                                        RESUME
The three sites talk about the Olympic Games and I think they are very good at writting texts, because the texts are great. The texts don't have the authors. The first talked about the good points of the brazilian campaingn, the second talks about the failures of the Olympics and the third talks about the bad points of the brazilian football campaingn.
The first new was about the great campaingn of Brazil, we won 17 medals, 3 gold, 5 silver  and 9 bronze medals pretty much better than all the others times. The second is about the failures, like when Diego Hipólito fell, and lost all the chances he had to win a medal, he was one of the bests but then he didn't win anything and went out of the field crying a lot. The third was about the terrible final of the brazilian football team, that lost against to Mexico by 2 x 1, than Brazil only won the silver medal, worse than the gold, the one which Brazil hasn't won at football in the Olympic games.
I think that for Brazil it was great, but not good enough, because Rio will have the Olympic Games 2016, so we need to be better than this, we need to be the best of all. Lets go Brazil!!!

RIO+20


Estadão.com.br
Title: Rio +20 sets the future we want - 2012
Twenty years after the Eco-92, representatives of NGOs, companies, civil society groups heads of state and government meet again to discuss what direction the planet must take to maintain sustainable growth and reduce damage to the environment in an attempt to reverse near one boundary condition with regard to nature. Was time the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development - Rio +20 - which happened from 13 to 22 June in Rio de Janeiro.
The result is the document The Future We Want, document considered by President Dilma Rousseff as an advance in relation to elaborate on other UN conventions and like a failure for being unambitious by delegations and environmental NGOs.
Since the financial crisis as a backdrop, the challenge was essentially to establish guidelines for economic growth, social justice and environmental conservation walk together. In other words, define as all countries together can promote the so-called sustainable development "that meets the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" according to the official definition, 1987. Despite the differences, the Brazilian authorities commemorated the general consensus among the delegations, who approved the document on the last day of the meeting. It is now hoped that the terms agreed shall be implemented and that the commitments made by governments will not be only on paper. Time passes for the planet and the only ones who can change this situation we are even.
Title: Rio +20 is over filled with praise and criticism from: terra.com.br
Disappointment. For many, especially environmental organizations and international leaders, this is the summary of Rio +20. On the other hand, representatives of the Brazilian government claim to have already considered a success. In the middle of this crossfire, the UN and a text full of promises to eradicate poverty without harming nature, but few goals.
The UN Convention for the Sustainable Development stopped Rio de Janeiro. About 20 thousand men commanded by Army patrolled the streets, air and sea. The airspace was restricted and traffic was modified for Rio +20. In roundtable discussions, the thing seemed less organized - or at least, less objective. For the director of the UN Information Center for Brazil, Giancarlo Summa, despite having gone through other discussions earlier, only 25% of the document being discussed was ready when we arrived at the conference.
And this lack of decision was reflected in the event. The nearly 190 countries represented should reach a consensus between the 13th and 15th of June, a Friday. But the negotiations entered the weekend within. It was only in the early hours of Tuesday came the announcement that according to the text base.
With the agreement, the criticism came. With so many days of discussion, many important points were left out and became the target of criticism. A fund proposed by developing countries, for example, was deleted from the text. Another, who defended a woman's right to reproduce, was withdrawn under pressure from the Vatican - since it could be interpreted as support for abortion. The criticism, to withdraw this proposal came from former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. But these were just some of the excerpts taken from order to reach a consensus. The final text has faced criticism much tougher than NGO Friends of the Earth called "attack" and Greenpeace ranked the text of the Rio +20 "slap in the face", among other events. On the streets, many protests.
But there was still time to change. The last three days of the conference, including this Friday, gather the heads of state and government to discuss the document. Each representative who climbed onstage promised sustainable development, respect for the environment, reducing CO2 emissions and more. Some were still critical of the agreed text.
Moreover, the Brazilian government, host and leader of the negotiations, and the UN defended the document, which divided opinions about the agreement. Minister Antonio Patriota said the achievement was the consensus around the issue. President Dilma Rousseff said the text is just the beginning. The sample of opinions on the document of Rio +20 is the secretary general of the UN. He complained that the text shown previously approved on Tuesday was unambitious. But, under pressure from President Dilma Ban Ki-moon backed and defended the document. After the foreign minister, Antonio Patriota, pass the message that Rousseff was unhappy with the position, the South Korean changed the discourse and said he had "a great success".
Tonight, critics of the document seen their few hopes run out of time. The document was approved by the Summit of Heads of State (see the link www.uncsd2012.org/thefuturewewant.html text, in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese or Arabic). Lack whether the applause of the secretaries, ministers, prime ministers, presidents and kings who closed until those 10 days of discussions and protests was deserved.

Title: Rio +20 is ignored in the U.S. and criticized by international press from: uol.com.br
The climate of disappointment dominated the international coverage on the Rio +20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development, held in Rio de Janeiro. The criticism of the lack of progress were not only worse than discrediting the press of the United Unidos.Hillary Clinton makes apology for private investment in sustainable development
Le Monde: "Rio +20: Brazil winner, loser world"
The French daily believes that Brazil had a goal at the conference, reach an agreement, and won. But to achieve this, deleted all passages of the statement that raised some kind of controversy. "Sad statement," writes "Le Monde", twenty years after the "flagship Earth Summit."
"El Pais" says disappointed Rio +20
"Green Summit ends in disappointment." This is how the Spanish newspaper "El Pais" called a report on the outcome of Rio +20, on its website. In the story, the newspaper says the United Nations Conference "ended the same way it began: with a document that does not serve as a guide for the international community to combat the deterioration of the planet."
"Guardian" does not see nothing concrete
The British newspaper "Guardian" said nothing concrete seems to leave on the last day of RIo +20, although countries pledge to work together in the coming years in relation to sustainable development measures.
"Clarín" speaks of the lack of progress
The Argentine daily "Clarin" said that with the lack of progress in Rio +20, "the UN claims plans to address natural disasters." In the article published on the newspaper's website, is criticized the lack of progress at the UN Conference.
China praises partnership with bilateral Brasilo anticipates that a fund should be created by the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) early next year. This will be a solid background in the long term.
                                                                     Resume
The three sites talked about the RIO+20 and I think they wrote well the text but there wasn't the author. They wrote different things, the first one wrote about the good things of the conference, the second, was about the good and the bad points, the third, was about how it was understood in all over the world.

The first new was about the document written in RIO+20 (the future we want). This document was considered bad for ones and good for others. Estadao thinks it was good and they would do better, but it was good that way too. The second one was about the document too, but they didn't like it, so they wrote about the bad points of it. they said it didn't change a lot about the other conferece so it wasn't good enough for their thoughts. The third was about how the world saw it, and all the newspapers said that Brazil is fine but the world doesn't change anything, or that it didn't change anything for anyone.

I could concluse that it wasn't good and bad, it was normal, but it could be better, I think this way the world won't change and we need more than this. The ONU would organise another one, but with more objectives, like if they did a research about others kinds of energy for locomotion os vehicles.
