UP Medicina 2019/1Leia as estrofes abaixo da canção ‘If you had my love’, de Jennifer Lopez.
If you had my love
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me?
And if somehow you knew
That your love would be untrue
Would you lie to me
And calm me baby?
Now if I give you me
This is how it’s got to be:
First of all, I won’t take you cheatin’ on me
Tell me who can I trust
If I can’t trust in you
And I refuse to let you play me for a fool

The cost of vaccine hesitancy
Some medical professionals refer to this idea as “vaccine hesitancy”. The term can refer to a fear of a particular vaccine, or a concern that a baby’s immune system isn’t ready yet. Vaccine hesitancy might seem relatively harmless, but Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said it can have costly effects. When it comes to vaccination issues, sick children missing class and falling behind in school aren’t the only costs: “Somebody has to take care of that child when they’re home, so that may very well be a day of work for someone”, Benjamin noted, adding that there are also “health care costs if that child gets a complication from pertussis or measles or chickenpox”. In the case of measles, as was seen in the Disneyland outbreak, what starts out as a rash can lead to dangerous and expensive complications such as deafness, cardiovascular complications, induced pneumonia, and even death.

There is no doubt that the sports industry in this country has grown massively over the last twenty years. This growth is linked with the development of cable and satellite television channels, many of which supply continual sports coverage to subscribers. These channels earn huge revenues not only from subscribers but also from advertisers who rush to advertise their goods and services when important sports events occur. The governing bodies of the various major sports in Britain, such as football, cricket, rugby and tennis, have cooperated with the television companies in signing agreements to allow the televising of their ‘products’. ________ the amazing hype that surrounds major, or even run-of-the-mill, sporting events stems from the pooled and vested interests of the owners of the media outlets and the groups who control the sports themselves. This continual high-intensity marketing of sport has led to a nation of obsessive watchers, most of whom are male.
_________, it is not only the people who watch most of their sport on television that are fanatics. The real committed fans are those who follow their team weak in, week out, as they play around the country. What, it could be asked, is wrong with that? Is this not a harmless pastime that causes no one any problems? Yes, it can be, but too often this obsession with ‘your team’ can take over from a proper concern with other important issues of employment, family, relationships and even money. We all probably know of some ‘sports nut’, to whom the success or failure of their chosen team or individual sporting god matters too much. Often, belonging to a sports’ club or unofficial grouping takes priority over relationships that would appear to be more important in an individual’s life, for example, a wife or children.

A Little Life Philosophy
Here are some thoughts on how to live a reasonably balanced life.
These aren’t any great insights, just everyday thoughts on how to be satisfied and relatively happy despite the curves that life throws us at times. First and foremost, it’s important to find people that you like. That means finding someone who won’t make you feel put upon. That’s truly a horrible feeling! It’s also a good idea to find people who aren’t going to press your buttons too much. Friends will kid around, but good friends will hit a happy medium between joking and respecting each other. On the topic of friends, it’s a good idea to treat your friends like you’d like them to treat you. It’s simple, but put this advice into practice and you’ll be surprised at what great friends you find.
In these modern times, we all enjoy having the latest, greatest products such as smart phones and stylish clothing. Just remember that all that glitters is not gold. It is helpful to always keep the presence of mind about you when shopping.
Rather than fall into the trap of using your credit card too much, wait a day or two. Try this trick the next time your heart skips a beat because some beautiful piece of technology calls to you from the shop window. Once you’ve got this technique under your belt, you’d be surprised how much you will save.
Finally, when things do go wrong be careful and take it slowly. Take a few deep breaths, regain your composure, and then act. You’ll need to straighten things out from time to time, but you’ll know it’s not the end of the world.

Tech Companies Struggle With How to Curtail Offensive Speech
No more hands off
Internet firms are moving away from the long-held position that they didn’t want to monitor expression on their sites too closely, Irina Raicu, director of the Internet Ethics Program at Santa Clara University, said.
“The companies are stuck in the middle and no longer trying to avoid responsibility in a way that I think they were even a few years ago when they were saying we are just neutral platforms”, Raicu said. “They are increasingly taking a more open role in determining what content moderation looks like”.
It’s not just in the U.S. where the internet companies are having to make hard decisions about speech. The firms are also grappling with extreme speech in other languages.
Comments on Facebook have been linked to violence in places like Myanmar and India. A recent article by the Reuters news agency reports that negative messages about MyanMar’s Rohingya minority group were throughout its site.
Some call on social media companies to do more to target and take down hate messages before they lead to violence.
“If Facebook is bent on removing abusive words and nudity, they should be focused on removing these words as well”, said Abhinay Korukonda, a student from Mumbai, India, who is studying at the University of California, Berkeley. “This comes under special kinds of abusive terms. They should take an action. They should definitely remove these”.
