Você sabe o que são falsos cognatos? São palavras normalmente derivadas do latim que aparecem em diferentes idiomas com ortografia semelhante, e que têm, portanto, a mesma origem, mas que ao longo dos tempos acabaram adquirindo significados diferentes.
Você tem um grande desafio! Encontre os 30 falsos cognatos em inglês e defina-os corretamente, de acordo com o assunto do texto a seguir:
A DAY AT WORK​​​​​​​
In the morning I attended a meeting between management and union representatives. The discussion was very comprehensive, covering topics like working hours, days off, retirement age, etc. Both sides were interested in an agreement and ready to compromise. The secretary recorded everything in the notes. Eventually, they decided to set a new meeting to sign the final draft of the agreement. Back at the office, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that the proposed agreement would be partially against the company policy not to accept workers that have already retired. I pretended to be really busy and late for an appointment, and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn't want to discuss the matter at that particular moment because there were some strangers in the office. After lunch I attended a lecture given by the mayor, who is an expert in tax legislation and has a graduate degree in political science. He said his government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raise funds to improve college education and build a public library, and establish tougher limits on vehicle emissions because he assumes this is what the people expect from the government.

A wonderful sting
a poem by David P. Leverett
This feeling is like a wonderful sting.
I want this feeling to hold me captive.
I wouldn't give this up, not even for all four seasons to be spring.
It doesn't need to be masked as attractive,
This unstable beautiful pain is mine, its what I want, what I need!
My happiness continually gains,
This is great. Something this good cannot be greed!
I'm glad to leave them, I found a better lain.
This I intend to keep.
No one else can have it, its mine!
Its mine when I'm awake, its mine when I'm asleep!
What's going on. This feeling is no longer a straight line.
I'm trapped in this bind, I no longer feel fine,
and now, I'm alone without a sign.

Rethinking the rework cycle
Abstract
How to manage a project effectively in order to achieve the proposed goals? The managers need to understand the dynamic of the projects in order to take the right decisions. One good way to understand this dynamic is by means of understanding a model of a project. This paper reviews the Cooper's rework model, with a different perspective. We will analyze the role of clients and suppliers in the project.
Key Words: Rework, Systems Dynamics, Project Management.
1. Introduction
Cooper´s pioneer article on rework cycle (Cooper, 1993-a) brought a new understanding of the fundamental aspects of project management. The rework model was successfully used as basis of development of complex systems dynamics simulation software. Those software were used to model complex projects (Cooper, 1997) from many different fields, like as shipbuilding, aerospace, software systems, power plants. They were very useful to help the managers to have a better understanding of the problems that projects were facing and to bring to surface their mental models and, hence, to take important decisions. The main goal of this article is to present another view the rework cycle. The core of the modified reworkcycle model is detailed and the role of the clients and suppliers in the rework model are discussed.
2. Cooper´s Model: a starting point for the discussion of the rework cycle
Cooper´s article made clear the importance of rework in projects. It shows that part of the work that was considered done has defects, and those defects will remain undiscovered for some time. When the rework is discovered, it joins to the work to de done, creating delays and additional costs to the project. This model is quite good and broad and it is indeed very useful to develop systems dynamics models (Figure 1).
However, this model doesn’t show the role of the clients and suppliers in the rework cycle.
Next topic, it will be presented a new approach for this model in order to cover those aspects.

Electric cars in Germany
The Germans love their motor sport, but while Mercedes dominates Formula One, at this racetrack in Berlin, electric cars were taking centre-stage, preempting the hosting of Formula E race, a new single-seat emerging sport championship for electric cars. Enthusiasts brought their beloved electric cars and bikes together for a motorcade, in attempt to break the record for the largest gathering of electric cars and motorbikes ever.
“We wanted to show that electric cars have already won over the hearts of the people. Many people drive electric cars and we said, ‘hey guys, let’s have some fun!’ We want to have a parade, we aim for the world record! And we want to show all the others that we’re having fun driving these cars. That’s important to us.
It’s called 508 and we had 580 cars. We did break the record.”

Electric cars in Germany
The Germans love their motor sport, but while Mercedes dominates Formula One, at this racetrack in Berlin, electric cars were taking centre-stage, preempting the hosting of Formula E race, a new single-seat emerging sport championship for electric cars. Enthusiasts brought their beloved electric cars and bikes together for a motorcade, in attempt to break the record for the largest gathering of electric cars and motorbikes ever.
“We wanted to show that electric cars have already won over the hearts of the people. Many people drive electric cars and we said, ‘hey guys, let’s have some fun!’ We want to have a parade, we aim for the world record! And we want to show all the others that we’re having fun driving these cars. That’s important to us.
It’s called 508 and we had 580 cars. We did break the record.”
Well, you actually had 577 to be exact, as this high-tech sign shows, but still, record broken. Well done!

A. Novo tipo de gasolina alemã.
B. Competição de Mercedes.

Looking Beyond Nursing for Clues to Effective Leadership
Effective leadership is one of the most elusive keys to organizational success yet it is a key ingredient to making any organization work. Leadership is also changing in nature. Our current faster, more flexible, flatter organizations face intense competition and require dynamic leadership. This article synthesizes research conducted during the past 5 years that quantifies what separates superior leaders from average leaders. Although this research originated from a study of top global nonhealthcare organizations, it relates to the nursing profession. The author discusses key elements of the research, including emotional intelligence and its link to performance.

Yoga for menopause De Susan M. Lark M.D. (Excerpted from The Estrogen Decision Self Help Book)
Yoga stretches can benefit both the body and the mind, bringing energy and balance. This is particularly helpful to women who are currently in menopause or in menopause transition because their hormonal levels and body chemistry may be fluctuating rapidly. This can leave women feeling out of balance and truly victims of their changing bodies. Yoga exercises level out this physiological instability by relaxing and gently stretching every muscle in the body, promoting better blood circulation and oxygenation to all cells and tissues. This helps optimize the function of the endocrine glands and the organs of the female reproductive tract. Yoga exercises also improve the health and well-being of the digestive tract, nervous system, and all other organ systems.
The yoga exercises included in this chapter address many specific menopause related symptoms and issues, such as bone strength, cardiovascular and breast health, of concern to all women past midlife. You may want to begin by trying all the stretches, then practicing on a regular basis those exercises that bring you the most symptom relief and general health benefits. If you prefer, begin with the exercises that offer relief for the specific symptoms of greatest concern.
General Techniques for Yoga
When doing yoga exercises, it is important that you focus and concentrate on the positions. First, let your mind visualize how the exercise is to look, and then follow with the correct body placement in the pose. The exercises are done through slow, controlled stretching movements. This slowness allows you to have greater control over your body movements. You minimize the possibility of injury and maximize the benefit to the particular area of the body where your attention is being focused. Pay close attention to the initial instructions. Look at the placement of the body in the photographs. This is very important, for if the pose is practiced properly, you are much more likely to have relief from your symptoms. In summary, as you begin these exercises:
Visualize the pose in your mind, then follow with proper placement of the body.
• Move slowly through the pose. This will help promote flexibility of the muscles and prevent injury.
• Follow the breathing instructions provided in the exercise. Most important, do not hold your breath. Allow your breath to flow in and out easily and effortlessly.
Practicing yoga stretches regularly in a slow, unhurried fashion will gradually loosen your muscles, ligaments and joints. You may be surprised at how supple you can become over time. If you experience any pain or discomfort, you have probably overreached your current ability and should immediately reduce the amount of the stretching until you can proceed without discomfort. Be careful, as muscular injuries take time to heal. If you do strain a muscle, immediately apply ice to the injured area for ten minutes. Use the ice pack two to three times a day for several days. If the pain persists, see your doctor.
