À hora do primeiro almoço, como prometera, Aristarco mostrou-se em toda a grandeza fúnebre dos justiçadores. De preto. Calculando magnificamente os passos pelos do diretor, seguiam-no em guarda de honra muitos professores. À porta fronteira, mais professores de pé e os bedéis ainda, e a multidão bisbilhoteira dos criados.
Tão grande a calada, que se distinguia nítido o tique-taque do relógio, na sala de espera, palpitando os ansiados segundos.
Aristarco soprou duas vezes através do bigode, inundando o espaço com um bafejo de todo-poderoso.
E, sem exórdio:
“Levante-se, Sr. Cândido Lima! “Apresento-lhes, meus senhores, a Sra. D. Cândida”, acrescentou com uma ironia desanimada.
“Para o meio da casa! e curve-se diante dos seus colegas!”
Cândido era um grande menino, beiçudo, louro, de olhos verdes e maneiras difíceis de indolência e enfado. Atravessou devagar a sala, dobrando a cabeça, cobrindo o rosto com a manga, castigado pela curiosidade pública.
“Levante-se, Sr. Emílio Tourinho...
Este é o cúmplice, meus senhores!”
Tourinho era um pouco mais velho que o outro, porém mais baixo; atarracado, moreno, ventas arregaladas, sobrancelhas crespas, fazendo um só arco pela testa. Nada absolutamente conformado para galã; mas era com efeito o amante.
“Venha ajoelhar-se com o companheiro.”
“Agora, os auxiliares...”
Desde as cinco horas da manhã trabalhava Aristarco no processo. O interrogatório, com o apêndice das delações da polícia secreta e dos tímidos, comprometera apenas dez alunos.
A chamado do diretor, foram deixando os lugares e postando-se de joelhos em seguimento dos principais culpados.
“Estes são os acólitos da vergonha, os corréus do silêncio!”
Cândido e Tourinho, braço dobrado contra os olhos, espreitavam-se a furto, confortando-se na identidade da desgraça, como Francesca e Paolo* no inferno.
Prostrados os doze rapazes perante Aristarco, na passagem alongada entre as cabeceiras das mesas, parecia aquilo um ritual desconhecido de noivado: a espera da bênção para o casal à frente.
Em vez da bênção chovia a cólera.

Sinônimos | SynonymsUNIFESP · 2018DifícilEntre para guardar nos favoritosWhy so few nurses are men
Ask health professionals in any country what the biggest problem in their health-care system is and one of the most common answers is the shortage of nurses. In ageing rich countries, demand for nursing care is becoming increasingly insatiable. Britain’s National Health Service, for example, has 40,000-odd nurse vacancies. Poor countries struggle with the emigration of nurses for greener pastures. One obvious solution seems neglected: recruit more men. Typically, just 5-10% of nurses registered in a given country are men. Why so few?
Views of nursing as a “woman’s job” have deep roots. Florence Nightingale, who established the principles of modern nursing in the 1860s, insisted that men’s “hard and horny” hands were “not fitted to touch, bathe and dress wounded limbs”. In Britain the Royal College of Nursing, the profession’s union, did not even admit men as members until 1960. Some nursing schools in America started admitting men only in 1982, after a Supreme Court ruling forced them to. Senior nurse titles such as “sister” (a ward manager) and “matron” (which in some countries is used for men as well) do not help matters. Unsurprisingly, some older people do not even know that men can be nurses too. Male nurses often encounter patients who assume they are doctors.
Another problem is that beliefs about what a nursing job entails are often outdated – in ways that may be particularly off-putting for men. In films, nurses are commonly portrayed as the helpers of heroic male doctors. In fact, nurses do most of their work independently and are the first responders to patients in crisis. To dispel myths, nurse-recruitment campaigns display nursing as a professional job with career progression, specialisms like anaesthetics, cardiology or emergency care, and use for skills related to technology, innovation and leadership. However, attracting men without playing to gender stereotypes can be tricky. “Are you man enough to be a nurse?”, the slogan of an American campaign, was involved in controversy.
Nursing is not a career many boys aspire to, or are encouraged to consider. Only two-fifths of British parents say they would be proud if their son became a nurse. Because of all this, men who go into nursing are usually already closely familiar with the job. Some are following in the career footsteps of their mothers. Others decide that the job would suit them after they see a male nurse care for a relative or they themselves get care from a male nurse when hospitalised. Although many gender stereotypes about jobs and caring have crumbled, nursing has, so far, remained unaffected.

Senior nurse titles such as “sister” (a ward manager) and “matron” (which in some countries is used for men as well) do not help matters. Unsurprisingly, some older people do not even know that men can be nurses too. Male nurses often encounter patients who assume they are doctors.
Another problem is that beliefs about what a nursing job entails are often outdated – in ways that may be particularly off-putting for men. In films, nurses are commonly portrayed as the helpers of heroic male doctors. In fact, nurses do most of their work independently and are the first responders to patients in crisis. To dispel myths, nurse-recruitment campaigns display nursing as a professional job with career progression, specialisms like anaesthetics, cardiology or emergency care, and use for skills related to technology, innovation and leadership. However, attracting men without playing to gender stereotypes can be tricky. “Are you man enough to be a nurse?”, the slogan of an American campaign, was involved in controversy.
Nursing is not a career many boys aspire to, or are encouraged to consider. Only two-fifths of British parents say they would be proud if their son became a nurse. Because of all this, men who go into nursing are usually already closely familiar with the job. Some are following in the career footsteps of their mothers. Others decide that the job would suit them after they see a male nurse care for a relative or they themselves get care from a male nurse when hospitalised. Although many gender stereotypes about jobs and caring have crumbled, nursing has, so far, remained unaffected.

At a time when the world is changing more quickly than ever before, we need a new vocabulary to help us grasp what’s happening.
Catfishing. This word would make more sense if it referred to fishing for cats, but in fact, it refers to people who construct false identities online. Whether out of boredom, loneliness or malice, they lure other people into continued messaging correspondence, thereby building false relationships with them (the apparent source of the term “catfish” is a 2010 documentary called Catfish, whose verity, ironically enough, has been questioned).
There are two ways of looking at this: 1) The internet/ cyberspace is wonderful, because it gives people the freedom to augment or totally change their identities, and this is a marvellous new dawn for human expression, a new step in human evolution. 2) Nah, it’s a false dawn, because the internet is essentially a libertarian arena, and, as such, an amoral one (lots of “freedoms” but with no attendant social obligations); it is a new jungle where we must watch our backs and struggle for survival, surely a backward step in evolution. I lean toward the latter.
