Distraído pelos próprios argumentos, o homem, em vez de se desfazer do charuto, tirou dele uma baforada. Foi o bastante para generalizar-se a confusão.

    I. Algumas tramas se passam em Nova Iorque e há referências a espaços artísticos, bares, restaurantes e artistas que são famosos no contexto estadunidense.

    II. Por vezes, tem-se nas narrativas uma perspectiva, da parte do narrador, perpassada pelo preconceito racial. Isso se faz notar de maneira explícita na crônica Albertine Disparue, por meio da caracterização da personagem Albertina, a qual é funcionária do narrador.

    III. O recurso da ironia não é uma constância na obra.

    IV. Por causa da linguagem leve, divertida e acessível presente nas crônicas, as reflexões profundas ficam em segundo plano. Tal característica é comum no gênero crônica.

    V. Muitas das crônicas presentes na obra apresentam processos intertextuais, seja por meio da evocação direta e indireta de textos literários, seja por meio da alusão ou citação do nome de outros autores da literatura, dentre eles Marcel Proust.

    “ALIEN INTERVIEW” (Entrevista com um alienígena)


    No momento em que o ser alienígena tinha sido devolvido à base eu já tinha passado várias horas com ela. Como já referi, o Sr. Cavitt me disse para ficar com a extraterrestre, já que eu era a única pessoa entre nós que poderia compreendê-la e manter comunicação telepaticamente. Eu não pude compreender e entender a minha capacidade de me “comunicar” telepaticamente com o ser extraterrestre. Eu nunca antes havia tido experiência com comunicação telepática com alguém.

    A comunicação não-verbal que eu experimentei era como a compreensão que se tem quando uma criança ou um cão está tentando fazer você entender alguma coisa, mas muito, muito mais direta e poderosa! Mesmo que não houvesse falado “palavras”, ou comunicação através de sinais, a intenção dos pensamentos eram inconfundíveis para mim. Percebi mais tarde que, apesar de eu receber o pensamento, eu necessariamente não interpretava o seu significado exatamente.

                                                 Texto 1


                    O poeta contemporâneo ainda tem com o que se espantar?

                                                                                                     (Audrey de Mattos)


    Falar da poesia contemporânea, esta que está aí, sendo produzida neste exato instante, é pensar nas mudanças que, de Aristóteles aos vanguardistas do século XX, transformaram a forma conhecida por poesia em território do heterogêneo: grotesco e sublime, temas elevados e temas cotidianos, linguagem polida e palavreado chulo, tudo convive na poesia contemporânea, nem de longe pacificamente, pois que o estranhamento e o (des)entendimento que assomam à alma de quem lê dão conta de que a atual poesia não veio para repousar (nem deixar repousar) em margens plácidas.

    [...]

    Trata-se então de ouvir o inaudível e ver o invisível, conforme a fórmula clássica baudelairiana. A linguagem poética, até então mero instrumento de reprodução da realidade, “reclamará uma maior autonomia em relação à normatividade do mundo, reivindicando assim algo que parecia impossível: a capacidade de transfigurar o real e integrar-se ao mundo como elemento constitutivo deste” (Tereza Cabañas, in “A poética da inversão”).

    [...]

    Do poema enterrado ao poema digital, a poesia incorporará tantas e tão variadas formas de expressão que levarão Antonio Cicero a afirmar, em fins da primeira década do século XXI: “Não há mais vanguarda”. “Qualquer fetichismo residual em relação a qualquer forma convencional da poesia” foi eliminado e “a consequente relativização de todas as formas tradicionais de poesia” afeta todos os poetas pós-vanguarda.

    How a young student’s innovative idea hopes to boost response times for EMTs

    By Woody Brown on June 1, 2015

        Drones have been at the forefront of the national conversation for years now. As the components needed to create them grow smaller and more affordable, many companies and organizations have started exploring the potential that drones could have to improve our daily lives. Whether by delivering a product with unprecedented speed or taking photographs and video from new heights, drones have many capabilities, most of which we have yet to discover. One young man, however, has envisioned a new way to use drones that could save thousands of lives.
        One of the greatest obstacles facing first responders and emergency medical technicians [EMTs] when it comes to the difficult business of saving lives is time. Think of your daily commute: people in the United States spend an average of 25.5 minutes traveling one-way to work every day. In bumperto-bumper traffic, blaring sirens and flashing lights are often not enough to clear a fast path for an ambulance to reach someone in need. During cardiac arrest, there are, at most, a few minutes to save a person’s life. After that, the mortality rate rises steeply. With stakes this high, every second counts.
        Alec Momont, a graduate student in engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, recognized this problem and saw a way to significantly reduce deaths that result from delayed emergency care. What if ambulances could fly? Or rather, what if we could make a drone that functioned like a stripped-down, lightweight automatic external defibrillator [AED]? AEDs, which can be found in schools, sports arenas and many government buildings, are significantly more effective than cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR] at preventing fatalities resulting from cardiac arrest. CPR can be helpful, but an AED is better, and very few people have AEDs in their cars or homes.
        As his master’s degree project, Momont built a prototype of this lifesaving drone. It contained an AED, a microphone and speakers. The average travel time, according to him, could be cut by 90 percent. Here’s how it works: In the event of cardiac arrest, a paramedic would respond to a call by flying the drone at a speed of 60 mph to the scene of the emergency. The paramedic would then give instructions to someone near the victim, who would position the AED. Once in place, the AED would operate automatically. The paramedic would be able to see through the camera whether or not the pads on the AED have been correctly positioned, and how the victim responds.
        A dramatized video released by Momont’s university demonstrates all of this functionality. In it, a young woman calls emergency services in a panic because her father has had a heart attack. A calm-voiced EMT answers and guides her through the surprisingly simple process of finding and using the drone. Fewer than two minutes after she makes the call, her father sits up and hugs her.
        The ambulance drone can increase the chances of surviving cardiac arrest from eight percent to 80 percent, Momont says in the video. The drone’s ability to travel as the crow flies frees it from infrastructural limitations that currently impede road-bound ambulances. “Using advanced production techniques such as 3D printed microstructures and carbon fiber frame construction, we were able to achieve a very lightweight design,” Momont says. “The result is an integrated solution that is clear in its orientation and friendly in appearance.”
        Momont’s aim is to rapidly expand the existing framework of emergency services by constructing many of these drones over the next five years. Expenses are low: each drone is relatively cheap to make, about $18,600. By comparison, a typical ambulance costs more than $100,000, and a ride in one usually costs more than $1,000.
        The ambulance drones can even fly autonomously (though legislation in many countries does not permit this yet). Several emergency service providers have already expressed interest. If the technology continues to receive financial support from other parties in the healthcare industry, Momont’s dream could very easily become a reality.
        We live in a world where drones have, so far, been used mostly in armed conflict. Momont, however, has a different vision. In the near future that he describes, tens of thousands of needless deaths will be prevented with his ingenious invention. That is certainly welcome news, especially in the United States, which deals with skyrocketing numbers of heart-related ailments and disabilities. “Let’s use drones for a good purpose,” Momont says. “Let us use drones to save lives.”

    The following statements are based on the information presented in the text:

    I- Life-saving drones are more economically viable than ordinary ambulances.
    II- As ambulance drones are lightweight, they can fly autonomously.
    III- Drones reach an average speed of 60mph, because their frame is made of carbon fiber.
    IV- Once drones are able to travel as the crow flies, they can escape from the traffic jams and arrive fast at the emergency scene.

        One of the greatest obstacles facing first responders and emergency medical technicians [EMTs] when it comes to the difficult business of saving lives is time. Think of your daily commute: people in the United States spend an average of 25.5 minutes traveling one-way to work every day. In bumperto-bumper traffic, blaring sirens and flashing lights are often not enough to clear a fast path for an ambulance to reach someone in need. During cardiac arrest, there are, at most, a few minutes to save a person’s life. After that, the mortality rate rises steeply. With stakes this high, every second counts.
        Alec Momont, a graduate student in engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, recognized this problem and saw a way to significantly reduce deaths that result from delayed emergency care. What if ambulances could fly? Or rather, what if we could make a drone that functioned like a stripped-down, lightweight automatic external defibrillator [AED]? AEDs, which can be found in schools, sports arenas and many government buildings, are significantly more effective than cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR] at preventing fatalities resulting from cardiac arrest. CPR can be helpful, but an AED is better, and very few people have AEDs in their cars or homes.
        As his master’s degree project, Momont built a prototype of this lifesaving drone. It contained an AED, a microphone and speakers. The average travel time, according to him, could be cut by 90 percent. Here’s how it works: In the event of cardiac arrest, a paramedic would respond to a call by flying the drone at a speed of 60 mph to the scene of the emergency. The paramedic would then give instructions to someone near the victim, who would position the AED. Once in place, the AED would operate automatically. The paramedic would be able to see through the camera whether or not the pads on the AED have been correctly positioned, and how the victim responds.
        A dramatized video released by Momont’s university demonstrates all of this functionality. In it, a young woman calls emergency services in a panic because her father has had a heart attack. A calm-voiced EMT answers and guides her through the surprisingly simple process of finding and using the drone. Fewer than two minutes after she makes the call, her father sits up and hugs her.
        The ambulance drone can increase the chances of surviving cardiac arrest from eight percent to 80 percent, Momont says in the video. The drone’s ability to travel as the crow flies frees it from infrastructural limitations that currently impede road-bound ambulances. “Using advanced production techniques such as 3D printed microstructures and carbon fiber frame construction, we were able to achieve a very lightweight design,” Momont says. “The result is an integrated solution that is clear in its orientation and friendly in appearance.”
        Momont’s aim is to rapidly expand the existing framework of emergency services by constructing many of these drones over the next five years. Expenses are low: each drone is relatively cheap to make, about $18,600. By comparison, a typical ambulance costs more than $100,000, and a ride in one usually costs more than $1,000.
        The ambulance drones can even fly autonomously (though legislation in many countries does not permit this yet). Several emergency service providers have already expressed interest. If the technology continues to receive financial support from other parties in the healthcare industry, Momont’s dream could very easily become a reality.
        We live in a world where drones have, so far, been used mostly in armed conflict. Momont, however, has a different vision. In the near future that he describes, tens of thousands of needless deaths will be prevented with his ingenious invention. That is certainly welcome news, especially in the United States, which deals with skyrocketing numbers of heart-related ailments and disabilities. “Let’s use drones for a good purpose,” Momont says. “Let us use drones to save lives.”
