"Many people do not wash their hands when the behavior in which they engage would warrant it," begins a recent study from Michigan State University, and I'm sorry to say it only gets grosser from there. Researchers sneakily observed 3,749 people in public restrooms and found that nearly all of them—95 percent—didn't wash their hands long enough to kill germs.

Even scarier, 15 percent of men and 7 percent of women did not wash their hands at all. When they did bother to turn on a faucet, half of men and 22 percent of women neglected to use soap! (Or, as the researchers describe it: They "attempted to wash their hands," but failed.)

The CDC says you need to wash your hands—with soap!—for at least 20 seconds in order to kill disease-causing germs.

Alas, the people in this study only washed their hands for an average of 6 seconds (...)

This extensive study founds lots of other interesting tidbits about hand-washing habits. Here are a few:

• People were more likely to wash their hands in the morning

• People were less likely to wash their hands if the sink was dirty

• People were more likely to wash their hands if there was sign to remind them

Other hand-washing research has found that college students are disgusting, people will wash their hands if they're being watched, and antibacterial soap isn't much better than the regular kind.

The study appears in the Journal of Environmental Health.

Texto : Foro privilegiado

Se você, político, acabou pego com a boca na botija, não precisa se preocupar tanto. Você sabe que, dependendo do seu cargo, ainda tem o foro privilegiado, que permite aos nossos homens e mulheres públicos serem julgados exclusivamente por instâncias superiores, como o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), o Supremo Tribunal de Justiça e Tribunais Regionais de Justiça. São 45,3 mil políticos beneficiados: ministros de Estado, deputados, senadores, juízes, prefeitos. Em alguns Estados, até vereadores.

Parte do problema do foro privilegiado é que as altas instâncias são alérgicas a condenar políticos pilantras. Um levantamento da Fundação Getúlio Vargas mostra que, das 404 ações penais concluídas no Supremo entre 2011 e o início de 2016, 68% prescreveram ou empacaram (que é quando o STF espera o acusado deixar seu cargo público para remeter o caso às instâncias inferiores). Condenações mesmo, perpetradas pelo STF, ocorreram só em 0,74% dos casos – três das 404 ações.

Se a política fosse o Banco Imobiliário, seria como tirar a carta de saída livre da prisão, e ministros do STF sabem disso. Um levantamento feito pelo ministro Luís Roberto Barroso mostra que o Supremo leva, em média, 565 dias para aceitar uma denúncia. Em despacho encaminhado à ministra Cármen Lúcia, presidente da Corte, ele afirma: “O sistema é feito para não funcionar”.

No Reino Unido, nem existe foro privilegiado. Primeiro-ministro e parlamentares são julgados por tribunais comuns. O Supremo deles serve basicamente como corte de recursos. Enquanto isso, por aqui, a população já sabe citar mais nomes de membros do STF do que da Seleção Brasileira. Coisas de um país duro de funcionar, e que deveria observar melhor os bons exemplos que existem fora de suas fronteiras.
