Working for on-demand startups like Uber and TaskRabbit is supposed to offer flexible hours and higher wages, but many workers have found the pay lower and the hours less flexible than they expected. Even more surprising: 8 percent of those chauffeuring passengers and 16 percent of those making deliveries said they lack personal auto insurance.
Those are among the findings from a survey about the work life of independent contractors for on-demand startups, a booming sector of the tech industry, being released Wednesday.
“We want to shed light on the industry as a whole,” said Isaac Madan, a Stanford master’s candidate in bioinformatics who worked with two other Stanford students and a recent alumnus on the survey of 1,330 workers. “People need to understand how this space Will change and evolve and help the economy.”
On-demand, often called the sharing economy, refers to companies that let users summon workers via smartphone apps to handle all manner of services: rides, cleaning, chores, deliveries, car parking, waiting in lines. Almost uniformly, those workers are independent contractors rather than salaried employees.
That status is the main point of contention in a recent rash of lawsuits in which workers are filing for employee status. While the survey did not directly ask contractors if they would prefer to be employees, it found that their top workplace desires were to have paid health insurance, retirement benefits and paid time off for holidays, vacation and sick days – all perks of full-time workers. Respondents also expressed interest in having more chances for advancement, education sponsorship, disability insurance and human-relations support.
Because respondents were recruited rather than randomly selected, the survey does not claim to be representational but a conclusion one may come to is that flexibility of new jobs comes with a cost. No all workers are prepared for that!

- Biologia | 11.8 Sistema Sensorial
(UFSM) Cada povo possui um tipo de culinária, um modo de preparar seus alimentos, como se fossem sinais culturais transmitidos por meio do paladar, da visão e do olfato. Por exemplo, no Brasil, os europeus foram os responsáveis pela introdução do sal, do açúcar e de diferentes especiarias, variando ainda mais o doce, o salgado, o azedo e o amargo do cardápio brasileiro.
Sobre esses sabores, é correto afirmar que sua percepção é
I. captada na língua e direcionada ao cérebro.
II. transmitida ao cérebro através dos neurônios.
III. reconhecida na região do sistema nervoso periférico.
IV. uma mistura de sensações do olfato e do paladar.

Read this text about Yuri Gagarin.
Yuri was born on March 9, 1934 in Klushino, a small village 100 miles west of Moscow. His father was a cabinetmaker, carpenter, bricklayer, and farmer, and his mother was a milkmaid. Together they worked on a kolkhoz or collective farm. By Soviet social standards, his heritage was impeccable. He was the third of four children. During the war, the Nazis threw his family out of their home and took away two of his sisters. Yuri helped his parents dig a dugout where they lived untill the war was over, then the family moved to Gziatsk.
[…]
Yuri was subjected to extremely rigorous training: physical, mental, and psychological. He underwent long periods in a sensory deprivation chamber, experiments with weightlessness, endurance in heat chambers, and test flights under stress with every reaction monitored. […]
"During the days of preparation for the launch, when everyone had more than his share of concerns, apprehensions, and anxieties, he alone seemed to keep calm. More than that: he was full of good spirits and beamed like the sun."
On April 12, 1961 the first earthling escaped the gravity well of planet earth. In the spaceship Vostok 1, Senior Lieutenant Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin orbited earth one time at an altitude of 187 3/4 miles (302 kilometers) for 108 minutes at 18,000 miles an hour. He was the first man to see that the earth was indeed round, indeed mostly water, and indeed magnificent.
Following his return to earth, Yuri's triumphant walk through Red Square in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands made him more nervous and afraid than his historic flight. As he reached the podium, the awaiting Valya tearfully whispered in his ear, "Our dream has come true, Yuri." Embracing her he replied, "You're a smart girl! Thank you!" [...]

¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás?
Me llamo Eduardo y vivo en Alicante. Estoy muy contento porque vas a venir a mi casa y porque tenemos los mismos gustos. A mí también me gusta jugar al tenis y montar en bicicleta. Te mando unas fotos de mi familia y de mi casa. En la primera estoy yo con mi familia: mi hermana mayor, mi padre, mi madre y mis abuelos, que viven con nosotros. Mi abuelo es muy divertido porque cuenta historias fantásticas y le gusta jugar conmigo. Mis padres están poco en casa porque trabajan mucho. A mi madre le gusta nadar todos los días y mi padre juega al fútbol los domingos. Mi hermana es muy simpática. La segunda foto es de mi dormitorio. No es muy grande, pero tengo un ordenador nuevo. Y por último, una foto de mi jardín, que es lo que más me gusta de toda la casa. Es muy grande y tiene piscina. ¿Me puedes enviar fotos de tu familia, de tu casa y de tu colegio, por favor?
¡Hasta pronto! Eduardo.
