ONU acusa Brasil de desalojar pessoas à força por conta da Copa e Olimpíada

Da Agência Efe:

A relatora especial da ONU para a Moradia Adequada, Raquel Rolnik, acusou nesta terça-feira as autoridades de várias cidades-sede da Copa do Mundo e do Rio de Janeiro, que receberá a Olimpíada, de praticar desalojamentos e deslocamentos forçados que poderiam constituir violações dos direitos humanos.

“Estou particularmente preocupada com o que parece ser um padrão de atuação, de falta de transparência e de consulta, de falta de diálogo, de falta de negociação justa e de participação das comunidades afetadas em processos de desalojamentos executados ou planejados em conexão com a Copa e os Jogos Olímpicos”, avaliou.

Raquel destacou que os casos denunciados se produziram em São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Recife, Natal e Fortaleza.

A relatora explicou que já foram feitos múltiplos despejos de inquilinos sem que se tenha dado às famílias tempo para propor e discutir alternativas. “Foi dada insuficiente atenção ao acesso às infraestruturas, serviços e meios de subsistência nos lugares onde essas pessoas foram realojadas”, afirmou Raquel.

“Também estou muito preocupada com a pouca compensação oferecida às comunidades afetadas, o que é ainda mais grave dado o aumento do valor dos terrenos nos lugares onde se construirá para estes eventos”, acrescentou.

Raquel citou vários exemplos, como o de São Paulo, onde “milhares de famílias já foram evacuadas por conta do projeto conhecido como ‘Água Espraiada’, onde outras dez mil estão enfrentando o mesmo destino”.

“Com a atual falta de diálogo, negociação e participação genuína na elaboração e implementação dos projetos para a Copa e as Olimpíadas, as autoridades de todos os níveis deveriam parar os desalojamentos planejados até que o diálogo e a negociação possam ser assegurados”.

Além disso, a relatora solicitou ao Governo Federal que adote um “Plano de Legado” para garantir que os eventos esportivos tenham um impacto social e ambiental positivo e que sejam evitadas as violações dos direitos humanos, incluindo o direito a um alojamento digno.

“Isto é um requerimento fundamental para garantir que estes dois megaeventos promovam o respeito pelos direitos humanos e deixam um legado positivo no Brasil”, finalizou.

Nobody pays closer attention to the daily deals/Groupon/LivingSocial industry than Vinicius Vacanti, CEO of daily deals aggregator Yipit.

So when we saw that Facebook launched a Groupon clone called Deals last night, we made sure to get Vacanti on the phone this morning. Per usual, he enlightened us.

The highlights:

* Facebook will have trouble convincing users that the businesses its featuring are all that great AND that the offers its presenting are all that special.

* To solve that problem it will rely on those one-in-every-social-group "deal-hunters" who will research the offer and then push it on all his or her friends.

* Facebook needs to hire 3,000 people if its serious about this business.

* Groupon and Living Social won't take a big, immediate hit on this news, but their user-acquisition costs might go up if people feel saturated by Facebook deals and start ignoring Groupon ads on Facebook.

Here's the whole interview:

BUSINESS INSIDER: Do you think it's going to do well?

VACANTI: When you look at Facebook and whether they're going to have success with this product or not, you have to think to yourself, "what motivates a consumer to buy a deal?"

What motivates to buy a deal is ultimately that either the business or service offering that deal is one that they're excited about. It's a business that has some authority to it so either it's been well-reviewed on Yelp or Vanity Fair has written about this business. Something like that.

Second thing is that the person wants to know that it's a good deal and a good offer.

The interesting thing is that Facebook doesn't really have credibility along either axis. People don't trust Facebook to recommend good businesses, and people don't trust Facebook to know what is or isn't a good deal.

Convincing consumers that this is a good business, they can do by showing interesting data around that business just the way Groupon does. When you go buy a Groupon deal, they tell you how many good Yelp reviews it has and how good each review was.

I think the challenge is how do they convince people that these are good deals. Now Groupon does that because the whole concept of Groupon is that they get us good deals. That it's a group purchasing decision. With Facebook, they're really going to need to really emphasize that to their consumers. So that's the challenges that Facebook has to overcome.

On the plus side, Facebook has 600M users and they're able to drive a lot of traffic to these individual deals.

The big bet on Facebook's side is that you have these individual consumers, the one out of a 100 that are deal chasers that are going to identify a good deal.

This deal chaser is going to see a deal, and will then look up the business and think it's a good business and a good deal. They'll message their four or five friends on Facebook and say "who wants to do this deal with me?"

Facebook is hoping that the person who's getting these deals is going to represent business and deal authority to the other consumers.

I think Facebook realizes that they're never going to convince all of their consumers to buy these deals. They just need to convince a few of them, and those few will drive these deals among their friends. And that's why I think Facebook is focusing more on social deals.

BI: Groupon and LivingSocial spend a lot of money on Facebook ads. How much does it hurt them that Facebook just launched a competitor?

VACANTI: Groupon and LivingSocial don't use Facebook to sell deals. They use Facebook to get users. LivingSocial is about 26M users deep, now, and Groupon probably is 50-60M users deep, and they've used Facebook for a lot of that user acquisition. I think they will continue to do so.

I think the hurt could happen if users get used to buying deals from Facebook and then they get pitched an ad on the right that says 50-90% off New York City's best stuff, which they've been getting pitched on for a while.

The conversation rate on those ads may drop because people feel like Facebook is already offering the same thing to them. That's bad, because then all of a sudden the cost to acquire users will go way up for Groupon and LivingSocial from Facebook to the point where it may not even make sense for them to advertise on Facebook anymore.

BI: It seems like this could theoretically be a big business for Facebook, but it put any kind of heat on Groupon or LivingSocial any time soon. Is that right?

VACANTI: I think that's right. I think ultimately. it's just more competition, which isn't great for Groupon or LIvingSocial. But it's not like people are going to use Facebook and ignore Groupon and LIvingSocial now.

Ultimately people will go where the good deals are.

I don't think people will lose their relationship with Groupon and LivingSocial. The only concern is that they may ignore Groupon and LivingSocial a little bit more, because they're getting pitched more deals on Facebook than they're getting pitched in their email, so they might just allocate less and less attention to Groupon or LivingSocial's deals and more and more to Facebook.

Whereas Groupon and LivingSocial had 100% of their attention, maybe now they'll only have 50% of their attention. It could hurt them on a conversion-rate basis. It will have some negative impact.

BI: One thing about Groupon is that we know that they have 4,000-6,000 employees now. Facebook doesn't have nearly that many people in its whole company. Can they do this? Can they compete with so many fewer people?

VACANTI: No, they can't. If Facebook gets serious about this and it makes sense and they're selling a lot of deals, they're going to want to do their own deals. They're going to go out and hire 3,000 salespeople over the next three years if they really want to compete with Groupon and LivingSocial. I don't think the aggregator model works well enough for them from a profit perspective. The real money is in having their own deals.

Aflac Duck gets new voice 2011 Lollapalooza

-- chicagotribune.com

http://www.chicagotribune.com/videobeta/...

Tribune staff report

12:14 p.m. CDT, April 26, 2011

Following a month-long search that included celebrities, actors, professional voice over artists and the general public, Aflac today introduced Dan McKeague, a sales manager from Hugo, Minn., as the new voice of the Aflac Duck.

The married father of three submitted his audition online and was informed that he had been selected after a review of more than 12,500 live and online auditions.

"I have long admired people who can act and make the most of their voice and have tried to emulate them," McKeague, 36, said. "I want to thank Aflac for the incredible honor of voicing the greatest icon in corporate America."

McKeague, sales manager for radio stations KQRS and Love 105 in Minneapolis, has experience doing local voiceovers.

Casting agencies conducted live auditions in six major cities across the United States and accepted online submissions at quackaflac.com. The 20 finalists were then further whittled down to a group of eight prior to McKeague's selection.

"We were tremendously impressed with the wealth of talent who applied for this job. Dan impressed us with his vocal range and acting ability," Michael Zuna, Aflac senior vice president and chief marketing officer said.

Since 2000, the Aflac Duck has appeared in 52 television ads and numerous radio ads, helping increase the company's brand recognition from slightly more than 10 percent to an amazing 93 percent.

The Aflac Duck is also a symbol for the company's primary philanthropic cause, helping Aflac raise more than $62 million for the treatment and research of childhood cancer.

White iPhone 4 used to demo new multitasking, Spotlight search in 'test version' of iOS? (video)

By Vlad Savov posted Apr 19th 2011 9:12AM

We've just laid eyes on a video from the prolific leaksters over at Tinhte, who claim they not only have a white iPhone 4 from Apple, but it's one with a "test version" of iOS that nobody else has yet seen. It's difficult to ascertain how legitimate this software is -- it could just be a neatly done jailbreak mod -- but that site has a track record of getting its hands on Apple gear ahead of the pack. With that said, the multitasking menu shown here substitutes the current use of apps' icons to represent them with a visual of each app's open window. You can tap on a window to expand it (replete with animation) to fill the screen or long-press on it to bring up the familiar "x" button for shutting it down. This is all accompanied by a new "Search iPhone" dialog at the very top, which sends you into Spotlight search that looks very much the way it currently does (though it seems to no longer be accessible with a left swipe from the first homescreen as on previous versions of iOS). Jump past the break for the video.

Update: A second video has been uncovered, this one showing that we're looking at a prototype unit and taking us on a tour around its body. A visit to the Settings menu shows a 64GB storage capacity, while app folder creation is also handled a little differently from iOS 4. The presence of the Touch Fighter app on this phone, which Apple built to show off the capabilities of earlier versions of the handset, and other internal-looking software seems to point to this indeed being some form of iOS beta build. Of course, it might not be iOS 5 at all, but simply a never-released version of iOS 4. All we know for sure is that the video's after the break.

Update 2: All indications are that this is indeed an early, unreleased version of iOS 4. Interesting, but probably not something to get your hopes up about.

Exclusive: White iPhone 4 lands at Vodafone UK

By Darren Murph posted Apr 22nd 2011 3:29PM

Breaking News

Exclusive

Well, would you have a gander at that? That, friends, is Apple's long-awaited, hardly-forgotten white iPhone 4, and so far as we can tell, this is actually the real deal. We've seen retailers making space for the elusive handset over the past few months, and earlier today, we heard that Vodafone UK's inventory systems were showing the white iPhone 4 as shipping in. Now, we've secured a few images of a 16GB model from a separate source that has seemingly made its way into the hands of one lucky customer (read: bloke) over in Britain.

As the story goes, the salesperson rang it up as a black iPhone to help facilitate the transaction, and shortly after the sale went down, Voda sent out a notice to halt sale of these gems "until next week." Just so you know, the MC604B/A model number shown here is particularly interesting when compared to our own in-house UK iPhone 4; the latter, which is also a 16GB edition, sports a model number of MC603B/A. We suspect we aren't going too far out on a limb by suggesting that the "3" and "4" are there to represent hue variations, and if you'd like to stretch the theory one step further, MC605B/A represents the 32GB black iPhone 4. In other words, don't be shocked when the white 32 gigger rolls in as MC606B/A. So, is this the first legitimate sign that a white iPhone 4 is but days away from going on sale? We're hardly experts in meteorology, but it sure felt like spring in Londontown today.

P.S. - 9 to 5 Mac suggests that it'll be landing on April 27th, at least in the Netherlands.

White iPhone 4 matters, especially in China, says analyst

Its arrival would be strongest signal yet that iPhone 5 won't show 'til September

By Gregg Keizer

April 25, 2011 02:55 PM ET

Computerworld - The long-awaited white iPhone 4 is more than just a smartphone of a different color, a Wall Street analyst said today.

"The net is that the white iPhone does matter," said Brian White, an analyst with Ticonderoga Securities.

According to reports by several Apple-centric blogs, including AppleInsider, Apple will start selling the nearly-mythical white smartphone later this week, possibly on Wednesday.

White and black iPhone 4 models were shown after Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled them at last year's Worldwide Developers Conference. (Image: Robert Galbraith / Reuters)

White argued that the new model gives Apple an opportunity to sell the long-delayed iPhone 4 not only to its most loyal customers, but also as a way to further spur sales in its fastest-growing market: China.

• Lawmakers quiz Apple, Google about location tracking
• Florida, N.Y. consumers sue Apple over location tracking
• White iPhone 4 matters, especially in China, says analyst
• Shock: iPhones store location data (Gimme a break...)
• Yes, your iPhone is tracking you -- the question's why
• Apple faces questions from Congress about iPhone tracking
• With iPhone, everybody wins: Verizon, AT&T and Apple
• China is Apple's fastest growing market for iPhone
• Apple breaks iPhone sales record again
• iPhone 5 delayed until September, says report

Complete coverage: iPhone

"There's a little bit of a gap in the June quarter," said White, talking about the anticipated no-show of a new iPhone until September. "This thing has been delayed so long that it has a certain cachet ... there's never been a white iPhone ... that I can see some people with black iPhones upgrading. And it may attract some people who were on the fence."

The white iPhone's "mystique" -- Apple originally announced the color last June, but quickly acknowledged "challenging" manufacturing issues -- will provide "a bit of a tailwind for iPhone units during the June quarter," said White.

Although White said potential sales of the white iPhone would only be incremental to Apple's numbers, he emphasized the phone's potential in China, the market that contributed approximately 10% of Apple's total revenues during the last six months.

"This will be especially hot in China, where white anything is popular," said White. "White is just a very desirable color there for all kinds of consumer electronics. It goes for both men and women."

Last week during its quarterly earnings call with financial analysts, Apple executives touted huge revenue growth in Greater China, which the company defines as the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. "We continued to be on a tear in China," said Apple COO Tim Cook, who said iPhone sales were up 250% year-over-year during the first three months of 2011.

The appearance of a white iPhone 4 is also a very strong signal that Apple will push back the launch of what most have dubbed the "iPhone 5" until September.

In White's eyes, it would make no sense for Apple to start selling a white iPhone 4 so close to June or July, the months when the company has debuted new models the last four years, then discard it.

Like most analysts, White has come around to the idea of a September launch of the iPhone 5.

"[A September launch] also gives them more time to ramp up," he said, referring to his bet that Apple will move faster into international markets with the new smartphone than it has in the past.

White just returned from a swing through China and Taiwan, where he spoke to component suppliers in an attempt to gauge the timetable for the next iPhone. "But we got mixed data points," he acknowledged.

The three-month lag may also give Apple the time it needs to build an iPhone able to connect to faster LTE cellular networks, a move White said Apple needed to make to stay competitive with rival handsets powered by Google's Android operating system.

White held to his position even though Cook scorned LTE last week in the earnings call.

"The first generation of LTE chipsets force a lot of design compromises with the handset, and some of those, we are just not willing to make," Cook said.

ARQUIVO

Fachada do Pronto-Atendimento do Cervezão. Mãe reclama de mau atendimento na unidade de saúde

Ednéia Silva

Um caso ocorrido no Pronto-Atendimento (PA) do Cervezão na última sexta-feira (22) deixou uma família indignada. Por volta das 23h30, Élida Rosângela da Silvas levou o filho de nove anos ao PA após ele ter reclamado de dores no peito e dificuldades para respirar. Como o menino tem um histórico de problemas com bronquite, inclusive algumas situações graves, a mãe decidiu procurar a unidade de saúde preventivamente.

Ela conta que a criança foi atendida pela médica de plantão. Ela examinou rapidamente o garoto e disse à mãe que ele precisava de "uma boa sova". A criança, sem entender a palavra, questionou a mãe sobre o significado da mesma. Já a mãe, indignada, perguntou o porquê da prescrição. A médica então respondeu que o menino não tinha nada e só precisava de uma surra.

Élida diz que respondeu à médica que quem merecia a sova era o filho dela e saiu do consultório. Em casa, por conta própria, ela fez inalação no filho para não retornar ao PA, mesmo com ele ainda reclamando de dores.

A mãe ficou indignada com o fato e decidiu divulgar a história para evitar a ocorrência de novos casos e para que as autoridades de saúde tomem providências. Ela também procurou a ouvidoria da Fundação Municipal de Saúde para denunciar o ocorrido. Ela foi orientada a formalizar a denúncia por escrito e está tomando as providências para isso.

Élida reclama do atendimento oferecido na rede pública. "Parece que a gente está pedindo esmola, implorando para ser atendida", comenta. "Além da demora a gente ainda é mal atendida", completa, dizendo que não sairia de casa à noite para procurar a unidade de saúde sem necessidade.

Em nota encaminhada pela assessoria de imprensa, a Fundação Municipal de Saúde, informou que "não recebeu reclamação sobre o assunto e orienta a reclamante a apresentar sua queixa de maneira formal para que a Fundação tome ciência e, então, passe às providências para apuração dos fatos. A Fundação esclarece que a comunidade pode estabelecer comunicação pelo setor de Ouvidoria ou diretamente com o setor administrativo".

Ouvidoria

A Fundação Municipal de Saúde de Rio Claro dispõe de ouvidoria para atender a população. Na ouvidoria, o cidadão pode apresentar sua reclamação, fazer sugestões e solicitar informações sobre a rede municipal de saúde. O contato pode ser feito pelo telefone 3533-6863 ou através do e-mail ouvidoria@saude-rioclaro.org.br.

MST encolheu, mas dinheiro aumentou

Aline Sales
Do Contas Abertas

O MST perdeu seguidores. Das 124.600 famílias, que viviam em acampamentos sem-terra ou em propriedades invadidas, no inicio do governo Lula, apenas 14.509 continuam fazendo parte do Movimento dos Trabalhadores sem Terra, conforme relatório divulgado na semana passada pela Comissão Pastoral da Terra. Apesar do encolhimento as verbas públicas destinadas pelo Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário (MDA) às entidades privadas têm aumentado.

Entre 2003 e 2010, os repasses do MDA para as entidades privadas sem fins lucrativos, ligadas à reforma agrária aumentaram 285%, chegando a R$ 282,6 milhões no ano passado (veja a tabela). A justificativa para o gasto é o pagamento de cursos de aprimoramento agrícola e outros projetos que beneficiem pequenos agricultores incluídos no programa de reforma agrária.

Por outro lado, o valor repassado pelo governo federal para entidades privadas que têm ou já tiveram seus dirigentes ligados ao MST atingiu a R$ 177,9 milhões de 2003 a 2011 (até 18/04).





Por lei, é vedado o financiamento de movimentos sociais que invadem imóveis rurais ou bens públicos e, caso isso seja identificado, a transferência ou repasse dos recursos públicos deve ser interrompido. Em matéria publicada pelo Contas Abertas (CA) em março de 2009, um levantamento mostrou que existiam pelo menos 43 entidades, cujos responsáveis por assinar convênios com a União apareciam citados, inclusive em fontes oficiais, como membros, líderes, coordenadores ou dirigentes do MST nos últimos anos.

Em parte, o apequenamento do MST se deve aos seus assentados viverem em situação difícil, como mostrou pesquisa do Ibope de 2009: 37% sobrevivem com renda familiar de até um salário mínimo, outros 35% ganham, no máximo, dois salários por família. Apenas 1% tem acesso à rede de esgoto.

26/04/2011 Nova sede do TSE custará caro aos brasileiros

Aline Sales Do Contas Abertas

Em construção desde 2007, a nova sede do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) já custou aos cofres públicos mais de R$ 386 milhões. São 115,5 mil metros quadrados de construção. Quando o projeto foi anunciado, há quatro anos, tinha o custo estimado de R$ 67 milhões. No ano seguinte, a dotação prevista para a construção chegou à R$ 98 milhões (veja a tabela). Em 2010 o programa "Construção do Edifício-Sede do TSE em Brasília" registrou gasto de R$ 118,5 milhões, no Sistema Integrado de Administração Financeira do Governo Federal (Siafi). Com móveis, estima-se um gasto de R$ 22,7 milhões. Neste mês a obra completa 75% de sua execução, segundo o site do TSE. Está quase pronta para abrigar os sete ministros - dos quais três integram o Supremo Tribunal Federal e dois pertencem ao Superior Tribunal de Justiça - e pouco mais de 700 funcionários. O empreendimento é composto por um prédio de oito andares e três cúpulas que foram construídas em frente ao bloco principal, para abrigar os auditórios. Lá dentro, gabinetes privativos com banheiros e 23 pórticos com detectores de metais. Para decorar os gabinetes dos sete ministros, um pregão prevê gastos de até R$ 693 mil com 312 peças. Idealizado por Oscar Niemeyer, o projeto arquitetônico contempla as características dos monumentos de Brasília, assim como os prédios vizinhos, que são sedes do Superior Tribunal de Justiça e do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho, tão luxuosos quanto o prédio do TSE.
