Q3414585 Inglês
           Birth of Venus is one of the most famous paintings in the world. It was painted by Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi, known as Sandro Botticelli, who was an Italian painter of the Florentine School that emerged in the early Renaissance period. In mythology, Venus wasconceived when the Titan Cronus castrated his father, the god Uranus, whose severed genitals fertilized the sea.
           Venus was conceived when the Titan Cronus castrated his father, the god Uranus, whose severed genitals fertilized the sea. Venus is an arrestingly beautiful figure with her delicate skin and soft-flowing curls fresh from the sea. Historically, this is the most important depicted nude since classical antiquity.
           Apart from its artistic quality, Birth of Venus is noteworthy for having been the first known Tuscan work of art to be painted on canvas, which is now standard but was then revolutionary, with paintings customarily done on more expensive wood panels. It was restored in 1987 to heighten the bright vividness of the painting as it first appeared, an effect achieved by the use of lustrous alabaster powder and gold leaf.

Q3414486 Português
O Enigma de Reigate

         Depois de trabalhar intensamente mais de 15 horas por dia, eis que Sherlock Holmes ficou doente. Para seu amigo e fiel escudeiro Dr. Watson, era necessário tirá-lo de Londres e levá-lo ao campo. Assim, eles foram passar uns dias na casa do coronel Hayter, um veterano militar morador nas proximidades de Reigate. O descanso, porém, durou pouco. Logo na manhã seguinte, o mordomo do Coronel Hayter avisou sôfrego: o cocheiro William Kirwan, que trabalhava havia anos na casa dos Cunninghams, foi assassinado com um tiro no coração. A notícia é que um ladrão entrara pela janela da copa e William lutou com ele para defender a propriedade do seu nobre patrão, o Sr. Cunningham, juiz de paz da cidade. Isso tudo aconteceu por volta da meia-noite.
         O palpite do Coronel Hayter é que os mesmos criminosos que mataram William foram os mesmos que saquearam a casa do Sr. Acton na última segunda-feira: “Os ladrões saquearam a biblioteca, e conseguiram muito pouco pelo trabalho”.
         Todo o lugar foi revirado. As gavetas e os armários foram arrombados, resultando no desaparecimento de um bizarro volume de Homero, tradução de Pope, dois candelabros de prata, um peso de marfim para papéis, um pequeno barômetro de carvalho e um rolo de barbante.” — explicou Coronel Hayter para Sherlock e Watson. Para o jovem inspetor Forrester, responsável pelo caso, não resta dúvida: foi a mesma quadrilha que agiu nos dois crimes. Ele afirmou que no caso da invasão da casa de Acton não houve nenhum vestígio. Agora, porém, algumas pistas foram deixadas. Após o sinal do alarme, o assassino foi visto fugindo tanto pelo Sr. Cunningham quanto pelo filho dele, Sr. Alec Cunningham, que disseram que ele tinha estatura média e estava vestido de preto. As investigações ainda estão apurando se ele é uma pessoa da comunidade ou alguém de fora dela.
         Com o morto foi encontrado um fragmento de carta, entre o indicador e polegar que dizia: “Se você vier um quarto para a meia-noite ao portão oriental, verá quanta surpresa o espera...” [...].

Q3414365 Português

As crianças, as frustrações e o suicídio



    Que atire a primeira pedra quem nunca recebeu ou não foi tocado por um daqueles vídeos com crianças das décadas de 50, 60 e 70 brincando na rua, correndo feito loucas, cheias de hematomas, esfoladas de dar dó, suadas e sujas de dar nojo, mas, como diria minha mãe, “rindo a bandeiras despregadas”. E muitos de nós vivemos essa infância, mas a sensação que temos é a de que, entre aquele tempo e hoje, há a eternidade. Havia disputas acirradas? Sem dúvida. Havia brigas? Muitas. Havia Bullying? Todo o tempo.



    Mas não víamos casos de suicídio entre crianças e adolescentes como vemos hoje. E não estou falando das que têm vidas desoladoras, mas das chamadas “crianças que têm tudo”. É claro que vivíamos situações estressantes, mesmo ______ os pais eram rigorosos demais e até violentos, não nos ouviam porque achavam que criança não tinha que falar, mas obedecer. Muitas de nós sofríamos de depressão e ansiedade, como vemos hoje, mas acredito que essa atividade física ao ar livre, a exposição ao sol, o contato presencial com outras crianças, ajudavam-nos a esquecer, pelo menos por alguns momentos, as agruras da vida.



    Sim, as agruras da vida! ______ está redondamente enganado aquele que pensa que criança que tem “tudo nas mãos”, que “não precisa se preocupar com mais nada além de brincar e estudar”, não tem motivo para se sentir infeliz. As estatísticas estão aí para provar que isso não é verdade, e várias são as causas para ideações e tentativas de suicídio – problemas mentais, como depressão e transtorno de personalidade Bordelense; perda de um ente querido, por morte ou separação; Bullying; abusos sexuais; dificuldades de aprendizagem. E alguns sinais não podem ser ignorados, servindo de alerta, como alterações do apetite e do peso, cansaço excessivo, baixa autoestima, agitação, desânimo, isolamento, irritabilidade, ataques de raiva, comportamentos estranhos como roupas que mais parecem esconderijos.



    Mas uma coisa chama a minha atenção nas crianças e nos adolescentes de hoje, que é o despreparo para lidar com as frustrações, com as decepções. Aquelas crianças de antigamente, às quais só restava obedecer, já tinham um “não” para tudo e tinham que correr atrás do “sim” para qualquer coisa que não fosse acordar, dormir, comer, tomar banho, ir para a escola, fazer as lições. Toda e qualquer coisa que saísse desse script demandava permissão que precisava ser perseguida. Em geral, pedia-se à mãe, que empurrava a responsabilidade para o pai, que a devolvia com um “Se sua mãe disser que pode, tudo bem pra mim”. E lá ia a criaturinha de volta para a mãe, com o coração aos pulos.



Hoje, a garotada já nasce com um “sim” para tudo. [o]s pais, desejosos de serem “[o]s melhores pais do mundo” e, cá entre nós, morrendo de medo de não [o] serem ou de assim não serem considerados, raramente dizem “não” às suas crias e, quando [o] fazem, diante do espanto e do choque provocado, entram em pânico e voltam atrás nas suas decisões, restabelecendo a calma nas relações. Só que a vida não é feita só de “sins”, mas também de “nãos”. Aliás, bem mais “nãos” do que “sins”. E quando [o] filhote começa a dar [o]s primeiros passos fora da bolha de proteção, [o] bicho pega, não alisa!



    Um exemplo de ambiente que não passa a mão na cabeça de ninguém é o das redes sociais. Mesmo para muitos adultos, é difícil lidar com críticas, até mesmo construtivas. Agora imagine o que é para uma criança ou um adolescente acostumado aos “sins” receber “nãos” ou, o que é pior, ser alvo dos haters, que disseminam o ódio, fazendo comentários maldosos e até absurdos, criminosos. Muitas crianças e adolescentes tiram a própria vida por não suportarem o que lhes é dito pela internet. E a solução não é impedir o uso das redes sociais, ______ elas são uma realidade, são parte da nossa vida.



    Assim, deixo aqui alguns conselhos aos pais que desejam ser os melhores do mundo. Em primeiro lugar, entenda que, em situações ordinárias, todos os pais e todas as mães tentam ser os melhores pais e as melhores mães do mundo, mas todos, sem exceção, falham ______ os consumidores desses esforços, que são os filhos, costumam ter uma noção diferente do pai ou da mãe ideal. Então tente ser o pai que você gostaria de ter tido e vá se adaptando aos seus filhos, aprendendo com eles, com os novos modelos sociais, com os novos tempos. Siga firme e ponha todo o seu amor nesse percurso.



    Em segundo lugar, pense que seus pais provavelmente também desejaram ser os melhores do mundo ou, no mínimo, não cometer os erros cometidos pelos pais deles. Assim, mesmo que você ache que eles não se saíram bem, não cometa o erro de acreditar que eles fizeram tudo errado. Em geral, começamos pensando que eles erraram em tudo, depois começamos a pensar que eles acertaram em algumas coisas e terminamos pensando que eles acertaram muito, às vezes naquilo que abominávamos.



    Em terceiro lugar, seu filho precisa mesmo é ser amado – acolhido, respeitado, ouvido, orientado. Ele precisará ouvir “sins” e “nãos”; precisará ouvir que a vida nem sempre é como a gente quer que ela seja, exigindo de nós resiliência, paciência, perseverança; precisará ouvir de você um pedido de desculpas sempre que você entender que falhou com ele; precisará entender que pais não são super-heróis, apenas seres humanos tentando acertar, que continuam a nos amar mesmo quando erram feio, mesmo quando nós erramos feio.



    E procure se conhecer, observar como você costuma lidar com os “nãos” da vida, como reage diante das frustrações. Você se mantém tranquilo, respira fundo e tenta encontrar uma saída para o problema? Ou você é do tipo que tem um ataque, desconta nos outros, enche a cara ou toma um calmante e fica largado na cama babando? Lembre que os nossos filhos estão sempre de olho em nós, aprendendo com o que falamos, mas, principalmente, com o exemplo que damos. Como dizem, a palavra convence, mas o exemplo arrasta.

Is social media harming teens? A dive into the research cites risks but returns few hard answers 


A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine grapples with the questions: Is social media harming teenagers? And what can Congress, the Education Department and parents do about it?


The answers are murky. The authors surveyed hundreds of studies across more than a decade and came to complicated, occasionally contradictory, conclusions. On one hand, they found there isn’t enough population data to specifically blame social media for changes in adolescent health. On the other hand, as shown in study after study cited by the report, social media has the clear potential to hurt the health of teenagers, and in situations where a teenager is already experiencing difficulties like a mental health crisis, social media tends to make it worse.


“There is much we still don’t know, but our report lays out a clear path forward for both pursuing the biggest unanswered questions about youth health and social media, and taking steps that can minimize the risk to young people using social media now,” Sandro Galea, dean of the Boston University School of Public Health and chair of the committee behind the report, said in a news release.


According to the report, the ways social media is used seem to make a difference. When a teenager passively scrolls, as opposed to actively posting, that’s connected by many studies to low life satisfaction and feelings of sadness. It may be that showcasing a hobby or an interest on social media doesn’t produce the same harms. But those rates differ by demographic group: Black, non-Hispanic participants in one study reported more negative moods during active social media use, suggesting that the potential benefits of posting on social media are not the same for teenagers of all backgrounds.


In addition, age affects how well certain strategies work. In younger children, a family policy that restricts social media except when it’s actively guided by a parent seems to reduce the risk of problematic use and inappropriate behavior online. But in adolescents, overly restrictive and controlling parental rules, like confiscating a phone for punishment, are often associated with that teenager taking more risks online.


Faced with an urgent need to “create a more transparent industry and a better-informed consumer of social media,” the report calls on companies and regulators to establish international standards, such as clear ways for companies to share data with researchers and accepted best practices to avoid proven harms where possible. It recommends that the International Organization for Standardization – a body that sets global rules in areas such as manufacturing and food safety – be tasked with creating a new system, one that could be used by federal and international agencies to track and evaluate social media companies and the algorithms they build. And it asks for funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and other agencies to pay for the sort of large, long-term studies that have in the past identified major public health crises.
