Woman who rescued Nigerian ‘witch-child’ beats Obama and Pope Francis to top list of world’s most inspiring people

A woman who rescued a two-year-old boy who had been cast out by his own community for being a “witch-child” has been recognised in an international list of the most inspiring people of the year. Anja Ringgren Lovén, a Danish care worker who rescued the young Nigerian boy back in February 2016, beat the likes of Pope Francis, Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama to top the list of 100 inspiring individuals compiled by German-language OOOM Magazine.

An image of Ms Lovén giving the two-year-old boy (now called Hope) some water was shared around the world, and served to highlight the work she was doing to help orphan children in Nigeria. Witch accusations is a growing problem in many African countries, especially in Nigeria, where Anja’s charity African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation cares for other children like Hope.

“When she saw the starving child, she acted like a human being and became an inspiration for millions,” said Georg Kindel, OOOM’s editor-in-chief, who led the jury that chose the list.

Speaking today about the experience, she said: “He was the size of a little baby, my whole body froze. I was thinking of my own son when I saw the boy. For me it was clear at that moment that I would fight with all my strength for him to survive.”

A handwritten note from September 11

In moments of crisis, our first thoughts are usually to get in contact with the people we love. September 11, 2001, was a day when many people wanted to know that their loved ones were safe. At 9:37 a.m., the Pentagon was attacked by terrorists who crashed an airplane into
the western side of the building.

Many people tried using the mobile phones that existed then, but few were successful. Franklin and Daria Gaillard (Frank and Chip) were both members of the Air Force and worked at the Pentagon. They worked in different parts of the building and had a previous agreement that they would meet at their car in the parking lot if there were any emergency.

Daria was the first to arrive at the car and wrote a note to Franklin saying “Frank - Sweetie I am okay. I’m w/ my office over by the Lyndon B. Johnson Memorial Sign. I’ll stay there till you come. Love lots & lots, Chip.” Frank found the note and was able to locate his wife in the aftermath of the attack.

What makes this story so interesting is the handwritten note. Today, in our digital culture, we have a variety of ways to let people know that we are safe. Text messages, voicemail, and different forms of social media can be used to get the information out to loved ones. In 2001, when these attacks (1), the cellular network was still growing and was not as robust as it is today.

This letter is just one of the many objects that The National Museum of American History (2) since 2001. To learn more, visit our online exhibition September 11th: Bearing Witness to History.

Algumas viaturas militares administrativas possuem motores à combustão que utilizam como combustível a gasolina. A queima (combustão) de combustíveis como a gasolina, nos motores à combustão, fornece a energia essencial para o funcionamento dessas viaturas militares. Considerando uma gasolina na condição padrão (25 ⁰C e 1 atm), composta apenas por n-octano (C₈H₁₈) e que a sua combustão seja completa (formação exclusiva de CO₂ e H₂O gasosos como produtos), são feitas as seguintes afirmativas:

Dados:

I – a combustão da gasolina (C₈H₁₈) é uma reação exotérmica;

II – na combustão completa de 1 mol de gasolina, são liberados 16 mols de gás carbônico (CO₂);

III – a entalpia de combustão (calor de combustão) dessa gasolina é - 5080 kJ/mol (!$ \Delta !$H_c=- 5080 kJ/mol);

IV – o calor liberado na combustão de 57 g de gasolina é de 1270 kJ.

Uma haste AB rígida, homogênea com 4 m de comprimento e 20 N de peso, encontra-se apoiada no ponto C de uma parede vertical, de altura !$ 1,5 \, . \, \sqrt{3} !$ m, formando um ângulo de 30º com ela, conforme representado nos desenhos abaixo.

Para evitar o escorregamento da haste, um cabo horizontal ideal encontra-se fixo à extremidade da barra no ponto B e a outra extremidade do cabo, fixa à parede vertical.

Desprezando todas as forças de atrito e considerando que a haste encontra-se em equilíbrio estático, a força de tração no cabo é igual a

Quatro objetos esféricos A, B, C e D, sendo respectivamente suas massas m_A, m_B, m_C e m_D, tendo as seguintes relações m_A>m_B e m_B=m_C=m_D, são lançados dentro de uma piscina contendo um líquido de densidade homogênea. Após algum tempo, os objetos ficam em equilíbrio estático.

Os objetos A e D mantêm metade de seus volumes submersos e os objetos C e B ficam totalmente submersos conforme o desenho abaixo.

Sendo V_A, V_B, V_C e V_D os volumes dos objetos A, B, C e D, respectivamente, podemos afirmar que

“Tendo subido os degraus da democracia, Hitler jogou a escada fora.”

Blainey, Geofrei em Uma Breve História da Século XX

De 1919 a 1933, a Alemanha viveu sob o signo da “República de Weimar”, primeira experiência democrática da história alemã. Junto com a República de Weimar, nasceu o Partido Nazista, que pregava, entre outras coisas: a existência da raça ariana; o nacionalismo exacerbado; o totalitarismo; e o anticomunismo. Em 1932, o Partido Nazista conquistou, democraticamente, 230 cadeiras no Parlamento, e Hitler foi nomeado Chanceler. A partir daí, houve uma espiral totalitarista que resultou na 2ª Guerra Mundial.

Aponte, dentre as alternativas abaixo, aquela que explica a ascensão democrática dos Nazistas ao poder.
