A Brazilian Guide to Speaking Portuguese 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Here are some pieces of information about Portuguese
that English-speaking people may find interesting.1) Verbs: You can use your fingers to count the number of different forms a verb takes in English. In Portuguese, a typical verb has 67. About a third of them are archaic, half of these are used only in some Brazilian
regions, but all are still taught in school.2) Gender: There is no 'it' in Portuguese. That means that each and every noun (thing, object, etc.) is masculine or feminine. And as other parts of speech, like adjectives, change according to the gender of the noun, you always need to know if a noun is masculine or feminine to use it in sentences. Worse yet, gender is not a matter of the object or concept it names, but of the word itself. For instance, in Portuguese an aircraft can be masculine or feminine, depending on the word you use to call it ('avião' or 'aeronave'). In addition, as adjectives and other parts of speech also change according to the noun being singu Read more:Guide

Ten reasons why people fail 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Taking Action Without PlanningWhen it comes to your goals and future, impulsiveness is the mother of regret. Considerable thought must be given to the ends as well as the means of your strategy. Planning Without Taking ActionEndless preparation is worse than action without planning. Accept that things will never be perfect. Questions will forever exist. Plan well and launch! Unrealistic Timeframes and ExpectationsLife is a process not an event. Nothing great was ever built easily. Exercise wisdom and learn to be patient. Unfortunately most things in life take longer and cost more than the best-laid plans anticipate. Reasons "Why" Are UnclearWhy you want to achieve a goal is more important than the goal itself. Before taking action on anything it is imperative that you ask yourself this key question: "Why do I want to achieve this goal?" Denial of RealityIt's far easier to deny reality than it is to accept it. And far too many people
take what seems like the easy way out. Success i

This year's Oscar fun facts 1970-01-01 00:59:59 With his eighth acting nom, for "Venus," Peter O'Toole is a winner either way. If he wins, great; if not, he goes down in the record books as the actor with the most noms without a win (he was previously tied with Richard Burton). With her 14th nom, Meryl Streep ("The Devil Wears Prada") furthers her lead for most nominated actor ever. Runners-up are Jack Nicholson and Katharine Hepburn, with 12 apiece. Kevin O'Connell, nommed for sound mixing in "Apocalypto," scores his 19th nom. He furthers his status as the Academy's most nominated individual who, so far, hasn't won. Distant runners-up are composer Alex North and art director Roland Anderson, at 15 each. "Dreamgirls" is the first live-action film to have three of its songs nominated. Two animated films can lay claim to the same record: "The Lion King" in 1994 and "Beauty and the Beast" in 1991. "I Need to Wake Up" from "An Inconvenient Truth" is the first song from a docu to be nominated since "More" from "Mondo Cane" was up fo Read more:facts

Google TV - An Elaborate Hoax 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A heavily produced YouTube video from Mark Erickson at "Infinite Solutions" shows users how to get in on the super-secret (and non existent) Google
TV beta. It involves sending yourself an email and then logging in and out of Gmail multiple times until a tv icon appears in the Gmail logo. In the comments to the video, some users have tried logging in and out of Gmail hundreds of times without it working.This is almost certainly a fake, as Google Blogoscoped reports. Erickson then posted a second video to prove the authenticity and saying that Google had increased the login requirements "substantially". A+ for effort and originality. Both videos are below. Update: This just gets better and better. New video found via CenterNetworks "confirming" the accuracy of the hoax. This guy says he got it to work on his 114th login, after copying numerous links on the Gmail settings page. Barefaced copy of TechCrunchTechnorati tags:google-tv , google , youtube
20 Things You Didn't Know About... Sleep 1970-01-01 00:59:59 1 Chronic snoring can be treated by uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, a surgical procedure that tightens the tissues of the soft palate and throat. Possible side effects include changes in voice frequency.2 Another option involves injecting the palate with a chemical to harden the soft tissue. This is called a snoroplasty, derived from the Greek word plastos, meaning molded, and somewhat lamely from the English word snore, meaning snore.3 Baaaa'd idea: A 2002 study by Oxford University researchers concluded, brilliantly, that the traditional practice of counting sheep is an ineffective cure for insomnia. The mental activity is so boring that other problems and concerns inevitably surface.4 Mattresses have an average life span of 8 to 10 years. They grow some nasty stuff in that time; one study links mattress bacteria to sudden infant death syndrome.5 An adult bedbug can survive up to one year without feeding.6 In 2004 Americans filled more than 35 million prescriptions for sleeping pil Read more:Sleep
How To Taste Beer 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Tasting beers may seem simple to many: buy beer and drink it. However, there are an increasing number of people who understand that craft beers can be just as complex as some wines. Because so many brewers are starting to put more thought and effort into brewing beer, we as beer drinkers should also think more about what we taste when we drink beer.Just like tasting wine, there are a few steps that one must go through to fully appreciate what one is consuming. There are many aspects to beer that makes it what it is - appearance, aroma, flavor, and body - and a beer enthusiast should be able to identify many traits of a beer within these components.The following four steps aren't that difficult to implement and can make your beer drinking experience a million times better, especially if you like to drink craft beers. On the contrary, these steps could quite possibly make you hate your favorite macrobrewery's best offerings.ObserveThere are a few things to note when looking at a fres
Girl of 14 who was a boy until she was 12 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Even at the age of two, Tim insisted he was a girl trapped in a boy's body.And when puberty began to approach at the age of 12, he convinced his parents that something had to be done.With their agreement, he became the youngest sex-change patient in the world, receiving hormone injections which arrested his male development.Now, at 14, Tim has become Kim - a blue-eyed blonde with a growing bust line who is allowed to wear make-up at weekends.She has no boyfriends at present but her parents say she is interested in what, now, is the opposite sex.Her treatment, which has cost £18,000 so far, is being funded by the German taxpayer.Psychiatrists treating her say she was an "exceptional case - a person clearly in the wrong body', even though the decision to grant her wishes when she was so young is still the subject of intense debate.Her identity and medical insurance cards have been changed to her new name and sex.But she has not been placed at a different school in case of taun
