[1] Did you remember it’s April Fools Day today? My sister
loves playing jokes. At breakfast, she said, “Robert and
I ____ going to elope! We’re going to Robben Island. It’s the
place where Nelson Mandela was in prison. My guidebook
[5] say it is a “place forever connected with the fight for
freedom”. So, if you receive a phone call today about winning
the lottery or something, don’t get excited. It’s probably
an April Fools joke.

UNCISAL 1° Dia 2013I tweet, I pin, I do.
I asked my girlfriend to marry me on a boat on the wide expanse of Lake George. There was no iPhone to capture the moment, no Twitter to tweet or Facebook to share, and, back at our campsite, no AT&T service to call home with the news. There were only s’mores. And champagne.
For the two of us, it was nice. But I’ll tell ya, future marrieds: the lull couldn’t last. Within minutes, we were in my Jeep, driving 10 miles out of the woods, where we sat on the shoulder of a road trying, to no avail, to make the engagement “Facebook official.” (Turns out you can’t update your relationship status from the iPhone app. A Facebook spokesperson says the company plans on adding this feature in the future.) Lacking the digital evidence, we wondered, had it even happened?
With five weeks behind us and still a year out from the date, the engagement is as real as the ring. Our wedding now has a hashtag, a website in the works, and a growing list of potential vendors we’ve found online. Yelp is our beacon. Facebook our guide. (No surprise: in my day job I’m head of social media at Newsweek and The Daily Beast, managing accounts and watching for news.) My fiancée has grown particularly fond of Pinterest, the photo-sharing network used by a whopping 19 percent of women on the Internet, per one recent Pew study. To my eyes, weddings are the central reason it exists. “Pinterest is a tool people use to find inspiration for the important things they want to do in their life,” a spokesperson explained to me. “Planning a wedding is a great example.” This past July, Pinterest doubled down, creating a separate category for weddings. The same month Facebook ̶ its users aging into love and marriage ̶ introduced a feature displaying special events, starting with engagements and weddings, alongside friends’ birthdays when you log in. (Babies are there, too.)

Oficinas Querô – Brazil
Young people in the slums of Santos have a shot at a better future thanks to filmmaker Carlos Cortez and his Oficinas Querô film academy.
Oficinas Querô has its roots in a filmmaker's search for young actors among the slum-dwellers of Santos.
Carlos Cortez was struck by the positive effect that the production experience had on his young cast.
Carlos resolved to make this life-changing experience available to more young people. He teamed up with UNICEF to create a formal education programme for 40 students at a time.
Over the course of a year, the students are expected to write, finance and produce three short feature films. The experience immerses them in the techniques of filmmaking, with top professionals from the Brazilian film industry available for help and advice. The films are publicly screened at the end of the course.
Several students have gone on to forge professional careers in Brazil's TV and film industries, but the aim of the course is designed not so much to find the next Walter Salles as to use the power of cinema to put young people on the right course. As Carlos explains, "The students are learning not only to deal with the tools for audio and visual production, but also teamwork and reflecting on their realities. They are preparing themselves to achieve things."

Feevale Medicina 2021/1UK scientific advisor says coronavirus unlikely to be eradicated
The coronavirus will be around for “evermore” as it is unlikely it will be eradicated, a British scientist on the
government’s advisory committee for the pandemic said on Wednesday, although a vaccine would help
improve the situation.
Britain, like other countries in Europe, is currently in the grip of a resurgence in COVID-19 infections, with
[5] much of the country under local restrictions and more than 21,000 daily cases reported on Tuesday.
“We are going to have to live with this virus for evermore. There is very little chance that it’s going to
become eradicated,” John Edmunds, a member of Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), told
lawmakers.
Although the coronavirus will be around indefinitely, Edmunds said that the prospect of a vaccine towards
[10] the end of the winter should impact the government’s strategy now.
“If vaccines are just around the corner then, in my view, we should try and keep the incidence as low as
we can now, because we will be able to use vaccines in the not too distant future,” he said.
He said the UK had played a “clever game” in investing in different coronavirus vaccines. Britain has signed
supply deals for six different COVID-19 vaccines, with 340 million doses secured across different types of
[15] technologies.
“I think we will be in a reasonable position in months,” he said. “I don’t think we’re going to be vaccinating
everybody, but to start, maybe the highest risk people, healthcare workers and so on."
