Jô Soares mandou convite pra entrevistar Dilma.
Ela faz de conta que nem recebeu o convite.
A bananosa está na mão de Franklin Martins e Kennedy Alencar pra decidir se deixam ou não Dilma ir no Jô.
Ao contrário do que foi feito na eleição, Jô não iria a Brasília.
Dilma tem que ir na TV Globo ser entrevistada.

Lula já falou que vai fazer um governo paralelo pra ajudar Dilma.
Lula é uma gracinha.
Tanta generosidade vai acabar em impeachment de Dilma.
Ah, esqueci de dizer que não vai ter impeachment.
Com tanto parlamentar denunciado no Petrolão vai faltar gente no Congresso pra cassar.

Marta Suplicy não esperou ser demitida por Dilma e pediu demissão numa carta aberta agressiva onde diz que espera que Dilma devolva a credibilidade econômica que existia no governo lulista.
Marta é candidatíssima à prefeitura.
E comentam no mercado que ela pode sair do PT e ir ao PMDB pra poder ter lugar de disputa.
No mesmo dia apareceu na mídia uma grande crítica de Gilberto Carvalho, de dentro do Palácio do Planalto, a Dilma por falta de diálogo com a sociedade.
Dilma já tem oposição dentro do PT lulista e seu governo começa em grande insucesso.

Um crítico de cinema do jornal O Globo acaba de fazer um elogio ao medíocre filme Made in China, com Regina Casé, por não fazer concessões a situações populares, coisa que os recentes filmes de sucesso sempre fizeram. O filme Made in China já começou com péssima bilheteria. Acabaram criando a comédia autoral da arte brasileira, aquilo que não tem graça, nem é popular mas o crítico adora. Engraçado é que tem gente que recebe salário pra produzir isto. E vamos combinar que a graça de Regina Casé ainda está por aparecer e é a mesma que Dilma governando coisa alguma.

Tudo indica que com resultado de bilheteria abaixo do esperado dos filmes Made in China e Tim Maia que a participação do cinema brasileiro no mercado cinematográfico recue 11% e o cinema estrangeiro suba 11% e atinja 89% do mercado. Isto tudo depois de 11 anos de ANCINE e grande dinheiro jogado numa política anti mercado. A Globo Filmes terá uma participação de mercado de suas co-produções nos filmes nacionais de até 75% contra participação histórica de 85% anteriormente. A Globo Filmes vai fazer 8 milhões de ingressos a menos que no ano passado. O que explica estas quedas de produtividade deve ser respondido ao povo pelos comunistas que há anos comandam a ANCINE, em três mandatos diretos, quantidade de mandatos que nem Lula teve. Coloque um comunista pra cuidar do mar e em breve faltará mar pra peixes.

Canberra university students have been implicated in the MyMaster Chinese online essay-writing scandal with a website offering to write essays for a fee operating in the ACT market.
The Chinese language website, Canberra Professional Copywriting, is advertised on the tutoring business website Yingcredible, which is run by MyMaster director Yingying Dou.
The MyMaster website has been pulled down after a Fairfax Media investigation uncovered the sophisticated online business – which is run out of Sydney’s Chinatown and has infiltrated NSW institutions. MyMaster has produced thousands of university assignments and turned over hundreds of thousands of dollars since it began operating in May 2012.
Thousands of Sydney students have paid up to $1000 for the service, which promises to deliver essays to students’ specification and unidentifiable to academic authorities.
The Canberra website targets students across the Australian National University, Bruce, Belconnen, UniLodge, Turner and Braddon.
It also boasts “team members are from various schools in Australia, Australian National University, University of Sydney, University of Melbourne, University of Queensland, University of Adelaide”.
The website promises to prepare assignments across the subjects of business, science, engineering, IT, and “all other professions”.
“High quality and low prices … 100 per cent guarantee high satisfaction after the payment,” it says.
It is not known how established the scheme has become in the ACT. The Canberra contact listed on Professional Copywriting, “Roy”, did not return calls on Wednesday.
The ANU said it was investigating the website.
“This has been rising global issue over the past decade and one that the university takes seriously and has been carefully monitoring,” a spokeswoman said. “ANU does all it can to address the issue, including use of technology to monitor for plagiarism and educating students about the requirements of academic integrity and serious consequences of breaches.”
These consequences range from counselling to exclusion from completing a degree.
“Students submitting any work are required to formally confirm with their signature that the work is entirely their own. If plagiarism is detected, students are subject to disciplinary proceedings,” the spokeswoman said.
The university also took very seriously the impact on its reputation of the website claiming to use ANU alumni to provide essay-writing services.
The University of Canberra’s deputy vice-chancellor education, Professor Nick Klomp, said these sorts of websites popped up and disappeared regularly and academics were well aware of their existence.
Last year, Professor Klomp investigated 153 reports of plagiarism at the University of Canberra – 148 of which were substantiated.
“But in the context that across the university 300,000 assignments were submitted that is less than 0.05 per cent. The vast majority of students are doing the right thing.”
If a student was caught cheating, they failed the unit. Repeat offenders were excluded from finishing their degree, Professor Klomp said.
“The first thing we do is educate students about their responsibilities through our academic integrity module.”
The university also used Urkund anti-plagiarism software.
“Generally, we make it hard to cheat – we set assignments that require localised knowledge or reference lecture material.”
Professor Klomp warned students not to believe the claims used on websites such as Canberra Professional Copywriting and he revealed that while he was working at another university, he had been contacted by two separate essay-writing outfits disclosing two students had used their services but not paid the bill.
“These outfits are completely shonky and it’s simply extortion,” he said.

Summits are expensive. As this year’s host of the G20, Australia will spend more than $100 million just on security for the two-day Leaders’ Summit in Brisbane and associated events. And so it should.
The leaders of the United States, China, India, Russia, Britain and Germany, among others, will jet in this week for the economic talkfest on 15-16 November. There will also be over 7,600 dignitaries, delegates and journalists present. Obviously any attack would be a disaster.
So what are the threats? Certainly nothing specific at this stage. While the G20 precinct will be heavily guarded, the possibility of a ‘lone-wolf‘ attack on a public space outside the precinct is a key concern for police. In September, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) advised the government to raise the official terror threat level to high. This prompted a review of the already high level security arrangements in Brisbane for the G20.
Police are naturally concerned that violent protests could erupt. In 2010, police at the G20 Summit in Toronto made over 1,000 arrests. The year before around 35,000 protesters rallied during the G20 summit in London, and a bystander died after being assaulted by a police officer.
However, the anti-capitalist/poverty protest movement has waned from its apex during the Global Financial Crisis in 2008-2009 when the movement was able to assemble en masse. As a result, protests in Brisbane aren’t expected to be as significant. QLD police have officially banned two prospective protesters from entering the G20 Summit precinct. At least 26 groups have informed police of their intention to hold demonstrations. Thanks to the heavy security presence, however, some activists are considering protesting at thinly-policed areas away from the G20.
Australia’s intelligence agencies are also preparing to prevent foreign spies from infiltrating the G20. Last week one of Australia’s spy agencies briefed industry on how to avoid G20 related cyber threats. At last year’s G20 Summit in St Petersburg, some European officials complained that USB drives supplied by host nation Russia contained malicious software capable of extracting computer and phone data. Russia denied the claims, arguing that the United States and its European allies were trying to divert attention from the National Security Agency scandal involving whistleblower Edward Snowdon.

The investment in security is also to prevent a potentially embarrassing breach. Lax security at the 2007 APEC Summit allowed the ABC Chaser program to stage a fake motorcade in Sydney that bypassed two road blocks and came within metres of former US President George W Bush’s hotel. The incident caused embarrassment for police and the Australian Government.
So where is the money being spent? According to Commonwealth budget figures, the federal government is contributing $97.5 million ‘to upgrade Queensland’s policing capacity to support the G20 leaders’ summit in Brisbane and the finance ministers’ and central bank governors’ meeting in Cairns.’
The Leaders’ Summit will involve over 5,000 police officers, 3,500 from Queensland and 1,500 interstate and New Zealand officers, as well as Australian Federal Police. Queensland police say it will be the state’s largest ever peacetime security operation and potentially the largest peacetime security operation in Australia’s history.
The Australian Defence Force has allocated $8 million to provide security for the G20 Summit. More than 900 soldiers will be based in Brisbane for the event, with a further 1000 on call.
Security expenses are also part of the $370 million in federal funding for general expenses, such as venue hire, accommodation, IT and staffing. For instance, the government is hiring a fleet of 16 bomb-proof limousines for $1.8 million to protect heads of state and other dignitaries. (Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin are reportedly bringing their own vehicles).
On top of this, the summit has its own legislation. Last year, the Queensland Government passed the G20 (safety and Security) Act 2013, which provides Queensland police with additional powers to arrest, assign ‘restricted areas’, and ban people from carrying ‘prohibited items’ in Brisbane. Similar legislation was enacted for the 2011 Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Perth and the 2007 APEC meeting in Sydney.
Ultimately, the financial outlay is necessary – despite the hefty bill. Australia must provide a safe and secure venue.
