Muitos escritores preocuparam-se em defender um ideário artístico que servisse de orientação para outros companheiros. Podemos dizer, grosso modo, que esses ideários assemelham-se a manuais. Pensando nisso, leia os versos a seguir, em que o autor defende a liberdade estética na criação da poesia, e identifique o período literário a que esses versos pertencem.

(...) Não acho mais graça nenhuma nisso da gente submeter comoções a um leito de Procusto⁽¹⁾ para que obtenham, em ritmo convencional, número convencional de sílabas. Já, primeiro livro, usei indiferentemente, sem obrigação de retorno periódico, os diversos metros pares. Agora liberto-me também desse preconceito.


(...) Marinetti ⁽²⁾ foi grande quando redescobriu o poder sugestivo, associativo, simbólico, universal, musical da palavra em liberdade. Aliás: velha como Adão. Marinetti errou: fez dela sistema. É apenas auxiliar poderosíssimo. Uso palavras em liberdade.


(...) (1) Na mitologia grega, Procusto era um bandido que tinha, em sua casa, uma cama (leito) de ferro na qual convidava todos os viajantes a se deitarem. Se os hóspedes fossem muito altos, ele amputava o excesso de comprimento do corpo desses viajantes para ajustá-los à cama e, se tinham pequena estatura, eram esticados até atingirem o comprimento determinado. (2) Fillipo Tommaso Marinetti.

CHINA'S NEW SEX SYMBOLS

BY ISAAC STONE FISH

       ASIA IN THE CATEGORY of the world's sexiest politicians, China's dour communist apparatchiks¹ would seem to be far behind America's legendary ladies' men presidents and Europe's bunga-bunga leaders. But a survey released in December by the All-China Women's Federation found that a Middle Kingdom mandarin is the top pick for an ideal partner among Chinese women.

      What's the appeal? (It can't be the ill-fitting suits.) It's money, money, money. While government officials receive a modest salary – well under $1,000 a month- they can usually leverage their position for personal gain, often through shady means. A corrupt vice district head in Beijing was recently arrested for accumulating more than $ 6,5 million; in other cases the perks have reached into the hundreds of millions. And even for officials who aren't skimming off the top, a government job (and the attendant legal perks) provides a level of security that's quite desirable for China's marriage-minded ladies, especially compared with a less stable position at a state-owned or private company.

      There's also the growing reputation of Chinese government officials as a particularly virile lot. China's state-owned press often titillates readers with tales of bureaucratic sex scandals: in one major story last year, a provincial tobacco-bureau chief's diary was leaked online, with page after page of prurient details about his trysts² with young beauties (including fellow government employees). The public's reaction was generally sympathetic to the cad. One prominent blogger maintained the bureau chief was a good official because he managed to spend some time with his wife despite the womanizing, took less than $10,000 in bribes, and didn't visit prostitutes. In other words, a real catch. In a survey on the blogger's site, almost all the more than 100,000 respondents thought the official should keep his job. That's sex appeal – and popular appeal.

                                               Mathematical theories

Some traffic engineers have attempted to apply the rules of fluid dynamics to traffic flow, likening it to the flow of a fluid in a pipe. Congestion simulations and real-time observations have shown that in heavy but free flowing traffic, jams can arise spontaneously, triggered by minor events (“butterfly effects"), such as an abrupt steering maneuver by a single motorist. Traffic scientists liken such a situation to the sudden freezing of supercooled fluid. However, unlike a fluid, traffic flow is often affected by signals or other events at junctions that periodically affect the smooth flow of traffic. Alternative mathematical theories exist, such as Boris Kerner's three phase traffic theory.

Because of the poor correlation of theoretical models to actual observed traffic flows, transportation planners and highway engineers attempt to forecast traffic flow using empirical models. Their working traffic models typically use a combination of macro-, micro- and mesoscopic features, and may add matrix entropy effects, by “platooning" groups of vehicles and by randomising the flow patterns within individual segments of the network.
