Para responder a questão, considere o texto a seguir:

Pontes entre os muros 

Há quem queira ensinar padre-nosso ao vigário. Mas isso não se compara a querer ensinar ao papa sobre a vida de Cristo. “Jesus viveu aqui, nesta terra. Ele falava hebraico”, garantiu o primeiro-ministro Benjamin Netanyahu a Jorge Bergoglio, em Jerusalém. “Aramaico”, corrigiu imediatamente o pontífice. “Falava aramaico, mas sabia hebraico”, insistiu Bibi. 

Pode parecer um pormenor irrelevante, mas ajuda a entender por que essa visita aparentemente inócua foi sentida em Israel como uma ameaça. A cena mais emblemática foi o papa descer do carro sem aviso, na Cisjordânia, para rezar junto ao Muro da Separação, ou “Muro da Vergonha”, construído por Israel para concretizar fisicamente a exclusão do povo palestino. Bem debaixo de pichações nas quais se lia “Palestina Livre”, “Papa, precisamos de alguém para falar sobre justiça”, e “Belém parece o Gueto de Varsóvia”. 

Foi óbvia a alusão ao “Muro das Lamentações” de Jerusalém, tido como vestígio do Templo destruído por Tito (é um muro de arrimo acrescentado por Herodes), onde durante milênios peregrinos foram suplicar pela vinda do Messias, pelo retomo dos judeus da Diáspora, pela reconstrução do templo e do idealizado reino de Israel. Sem usar palavras, o líder católico equiparou os hebreus do passado aos palestinos do presente e assinalou ao mundo em geral e a Israel em particular que o ponto de vista de Tel-Avivi sobre a história é um entre outros e os judeus não são tão diferentes dos árabes. Nem dos romanos. [...] 

Mais tarde, do lado israelense da fronteira, o papa Francisco não se negou a visitar o Muro das Lamentações original antes de subir às mesquitas do Morro do Templo e aceitou a exigência de Netanyahu de repetir seu gesto perto do muro do Memorial das Vítimas (judaicas) dos Ataques Terroristas, em Jerusalém. Essas cenas não tiveram o mesmo impacto [...]. A questão não é tomar partido pelo Estado da Palestina (oficialmente reconhecido pelo Vaticano), e sim relativizar a narrativa sionista na qual Israel insiste, apesar de se tomar cada vez mais insustentável no cenário internacional.

O primeiro-ministro, vale ressaltar, não representa o sionismo mais extremista. Está sob pressão dos radicais de seu próprio partido e dos aliados ainda mais à direita de sua coalizão, especialmente o chanceler Avigdor Lieberman e o ministro da Economia, Naftali Bennett, representante dos colonos do partido Lar Judeu, que exige a anexação da Cisjordânia. [...]

O papa ofereceu “sua casa”, o Vaticano, para um encontro entre o presidente palestino Mahmoud Abbas e o presidente israelense Shimon Peres. Ambos aceitaram, mas o desafio continua a ser encontrar uma linguagem comum. Não haverá saída da embrulhada do Oriente Médio enquanto os israelenses se fecharem aos palestinos e ao mundo tanto com muralhas físicas quanto com as de seus mitos e preconceitos. O chefe da Igreja Católica agiu corretamente ao enfatizar o quanto esses muros são lamentáveis e tomar sua visita a mais ecumênica possível. [...] Desta vez, fez jus ao primeiro título de seu cargo, herdado dos sumos sacerdotes e imperadores de Roma e muito mais velho que o próprio cristianismo: Pontifex, “fazedor de pontes”. Ou pelo menos tentou.

Para responder a questão, considere o texto a seguir:

O perigo que não vemos

Se um asteroide ou cometa com potencial de exterminar a vida na Terra estivesse a caminho neste momento, nós dificilmente saberíamos. Esse fato foi evidenciado ao mundo em fevereiro de 2013, quando um objeto de cerca de 20 metros de diâ­metro penetrou na atmosfera e explodiu sobre o norte da Rússia, causando impacto equivalente à detonação de 500 mil toneladas de dinamite. Entre 2000 e 2013, ao menos 26 asteroides com enorme potencial de destruição atingiram a Terra. Nenhum deles foi detectado - e qualquer um poderia causar milhares de mortes se tivesse entrado no ângulo correto e atingido uma cidade. Isso sem falar em impactos não detectados.

Diante de um cenário em que apenas 10% dos asteroides e cometas próximos do nosso planeta são conhecidos, a agência espacial americana (Nasa) resolveu pedir ajuda. Por meio de uma série de concursos batizada de Asteroid Grand Challenge, o órgão recebe ideias de gente de todo o mundo para encontrar e desviar esses objetos. Neste mês, a agência encerrou a terceira etapa do programa, que pedia aos colaboradores que criassem algoritmos (códigos de computador que realizam uma tarefa específica) para detectar ameaças ocultas. Foram 422 participantes de 63 países. “Aplicamos essa experiência em concursos de algoritmos para ajudar a proteger o planeta de asteroides a partir da análise de imagens”, afirmou Jason Crusan, diretor do Laboratório de Torneios da Nasa. 

Fora dos laboratórios, a vigilância dos céus é feita, em grande parte, por astrônomos amadores, como o engenheiro Cristóvão Jacques, um dos responsáveis pelo Sonear, sigla em inglês para Observatório do Sul para Pesquisa de Objetos Próximos da Terra, em Minas Gerais. Ao lado de dois amigos, Jacques descobriu, no início deste ano, o primeiro “cometa brasileiro”. No Hemisfério Sul, eles são os guardas dos céus. “O único outro observatório que existia era na Austrália, e foi fechado pela Nasa em julho de 2013”, diz Jacques. Segundo os cientistas, se quisermos ter qualquer chance de sobreviver a um grande objeto em rota de colisão, a detecção precoce é essencial, já que a maioria das soluções imaginadas para desviar um asteroide levaria anos para ser implantada [...]. Quando ele vier, é preciso estar preparado.

The Phenomenon of Candy Crush: Why Is the Game So Popular?

     In 2012, Candy Crush was released on Facebook and was later converted to smartphone format for people to play on the go. In 2013, the game reached real prominence and became the most popular game on Facebook. It’s no surprise then that so many people play this game on their phones. Candy Crush Saga has changed the way many of us kill time on commutes, or even in the toilet. I don’t remember the last train journey I took where at least one person wasn’t playing Candy Crush on their phone. I’m sure almost every reader of this article will have either been invited or invited others to play Candy Crush via Facebook in an effort to get more lives or even levels.

    Despite being incredibly similar to many games over the years, Candy Crush Saga has added new depth to the genre, with seemingly unlimited combinations of new scenarios and concepts. So, this mixture of simplicity and variety is what makes Candy Crush so unbelievably popular.

     As a result, Candy Crush Saga shows no signs of slowing down. New levels are generally released via the Facebook version every three weeks, with new levels also being made frequently available for the smartphone version. With 6.7 million active users, the developers are rumoured to be earning $633,000 per day from Candy Crush users.

                                         Brazil’s Rolezinhos – The Kids Are All Right


     Shopping Metrô Itaquera, a gleaming mall amid the favelas (shantytowns) of eastern São Paulo, gained notoriety on January 11th, when the police used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse a crowd of 3,000 youths. The youngsters were participating in a rolezinho, a gathering of tens, hundreds, and sometimes thousands of youngsters which is convened via social networks.

     Mall owners and shopkeepers have reasons to be cautious. A few rolezinhos have led to muggings and robberies. But most do not end in Itaquera-like chaos: the word’s true meaning is closer to “little outing”. And theories that rolezeiros are class warriors or favela dwellers tired of the country’s veiled racism are not correct. “Their battle cry is not ‘Less oppression!’” says Renato Barreiros, who has directed a documentary about them. “It’s ‘More Adidas!’”

    The point of a rolezinho is “to hang out, chill, buy nice things, meet people”, explains Vinicius Andrade, a 17-year-old from Capão Redondo, a favela in western São Paulo. He has taken part in 18 big rolezinhos and helped organise a few, drawing some of his 89,000 Facebook followers. His 15-year-old girlfriend, Yasmin Oliveira, a rolezeiro sweetheart with 94,000 fans of her own on the social network, says that shopping centres make good meeting places because they are safe – an important consideration in a crime-ridden city. There are few other public venues for kids, especially in poorer neighbourhoods.

     As well as air conditioning, shopping centres also confer something no open-air space can: status. Rolezeiros enjoy walking around in a branded T-shirt and bermudas, with a pair of 400- reais ($170) shades perched on a baseball cap. Vinicius confesses to spending 800-1,000 reais a month on clothes and accessories, most of what he makes as a helper at a local Adventist church. Just 8% of Itaquera shoppers enjoy a monthly income in excess of 2,780 reais. Some rolezeiros support their flashy lifestyle by reselling outmoded attire to poorer neighbours.

    Shopkeepers in the local malls have mixed feelings about the gatherings. On the one hand, the youngsters make ideal clients: they often pay cash and can spend 2,000-3,000 reais in one go. On the other, larger groups can scare away customers.

Japan WW2 Soldier Who Refused to Surrender Dies

   A Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after World War Two ended and spent 29 years in the jungle has died aged 91 in Tokyo. Hiroo Onoda remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon, in the Philippines, until 1974 because he did not believe that the war had ended. He was finally persuaded to emerge after his ageing former commanding officer was flown in to see him. Onoda was greeted as a hero on his return to Japan.
    The young soldier had orders not to surrender - a command he obeyed for nearly three decades. “I became an officer and I received an order. If I could not carry it out, I would feel shame. I am very competitive”, he said. Three other soldiers were with him at the end of the war. One emerged from the jungle in 1950 and the other two died.
     Mr Onoda ignored several attempts to get him to surrender. He later said that he dismissed search parties sent to him, and leaflets dropped by Japan, because there was always something suspicious, so he never believed that the war had really ended. Though Onoda had been officially declared dead in December 1959, search parties were sent out in 1972, when the last person from his group was killed by local police, but they did not find him. Onoda was now alone.
     On February 20, 1974, a Japanese man, Norio Suzuki, found Onoda after four days of searching. They became friends, but Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders from a superior officer. Suzuki returned to Japan with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda’s commanding officer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi. He flew to Lubang where on March 9, 1974, he finally met with Onoda and rescinded his original orders in person.
     The Philippine government granted him a pardon, although many in Lubang never forgave him for killing 30 people during his campaign on the island. The news media reported on this and other misgivings, but at the same time welcomed his return home.

Military Officers Face a New Evaluation
     Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is leading important changes following recent scandals involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals and admirals. They will include new courses to train the security detail, executive staffs and even the spouses of senior officers.
     Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top officers needed to go beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior officers alone. He said that he had decided the changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer way”.
      “You can have someone of incredible character who can’t lead their way out of a forward operating base because they don’t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn’t do me any good”, General Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in the skills of the profession, but doesn’t live a life of character. And that doesn’t do me any good.”
       General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments to the kind of “360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and superiors. For the new training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions, “most officers need to be reminded of the rules and regulations on a routine basis”.
      Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their staffs. The inspections will not be punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general officers to understand whether, from an institutional perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In addition, new programs will be instituted to ensure that a commander’s staff, and a spouse, are fully aware of military regulations.
      “In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You have to earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General Dempsey said.

Military Officers Face a New Evaluation
     Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is leading important changes following recent scandals involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals and admirals. They will include new courses to train the security detail, executive staffs and even the spouses of senior officers.
     Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top officers needed to go beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior officers alone. He said that he had decided the changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer way”.
      “You can have someone of incredible character who can’t lead their way out of a forward operating base because they don’t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn’t do me any good”, General Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in the skills of the profession, but doesn’t live a life of character. And that doesn’t do me any good.”
       General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments to the kind of “360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and superiors. For the new training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions, “most officers need to be reminded of the rules and regulations on a routine basis”.
      Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their staffs. The inspections will not be punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general officers to understand whether, from an institutional perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In addition, new programs will be instituted to ensure that a commander’s staff, and a spouse, are fully aware of military regulations.
      “In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You have to earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General Dempsey said.
