Descendentes de Eiffel se opõem ___ permanência dos anéis olímpicos na torre em Paris

Por Fernando Olivieri

1. Os descendentes de Gustave Eiffel, engenheiro responsável pelo projeto da Torre Eiffel,
2. estão se posicionando contra ___ decisão da prefeita de Paris, Anne Hidalgo, de manter os anéis
3. olímpicos na estrutura após o encerramento dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2024. A família argumenta
4. que a permanência dos anéis multicoloridos compromete a forma original e o simbolismo da
5. "Dama de Ferro", um dos monumentos mais importantes do mundo.
6. Segundo Hidalgo ▲ a intenção é manter os anéis até pelo menos 2028, ano em que Los
7. Angeles, nos Estados Unidos, será sede dos Jogos Olímpicos. No entanto, os herdeiros de Eiffel
8. acreditam que essa medida prejudicaria a estética do monumento, que é considerado um símbolo
9. de Paris e da França; eles já acionaram advogados para buscar meios de bloquear a alteração.
10. A Torre Eiffel, concluída em 1889 para a Exposição Universal de Paris e projetada inicialmente
11. para ser uma instalação temporária, tornou-se um dos monumentos mais icônicos do mundo.
12. Os anéis olímpicos, símbolo das Olimpíadas, foram colocados na estrutura da torre em
13. celebração aos jogos. No entanto, a Associação da Família Eiffel — formada pelos descendentes
14. de Gustave Eiffel — está preocupada com a decisão de mantê-los no monumento por mais tempo
15. do que o necessário para celebrar o evento esportivo. Para eles, os anéis criam um "desequilíbrio
16. visual", alterando ___ aparência da torre, que é reconhecida por suas formas puras e sua
17. simetria. A associação emitiu um comunicado no qual expressa sua preocupação com a
18. permanência dos anéis, afirmando que a torre, ao longo de mais de um século, adquiriu um
19. status de neutralidade que transcende eventos temporários ⧫ "A Torre Eiffel é um símbolo
20. universal, reconhecido em todo o mundo como um emblema de Paris e da França. Sua forma
21. precisa ser preservada", afirmam os representantes da associação.
22. A família Eiffel ressalta que o monumento possui um legado que deve ser respeitado e
23. mantido intacto. Embora a Torre Eiffel tenha sido inicialmente planejada para permanecer em
24. pé por apenas 20 anos após sua construção, ela foi incorporada ao cenário parisiense e
25. tornou-se um dos pontos turísticos mais visitados do mundo. Com 330 metros de altura, ela atrai
26. aproximadamente sete milhões de visitantes por ano, sendo que cerca de três quartos desse
27. público são turistas internacionais.

Tigrinho vai à escola: apostas invadem recreios e salas de aula

Por Vanessa Fajardo e Portal Lunetas

01 Quanto mais prejuízo no Jogo do Tigrinho, mais vontade de apostar Gabriel, 16 anos, tinha.

02 “Quando eu perdia, acordava querendo jogar para tentar recuperar. Isso não é bom, você se

03 vicia”, conta. “Eu ganho R$ 50 por dia fazendo um bico de descarregamento de carga de

04 caminhão. Cheguei a perder 400 reais – o equivalente a oito dias de trabalho – em uma hora”.

05 Recentemente, o adolescente parou de jogar. Além de se arrepender dos meses que passou

06 apostando, não incentiva ninguém a jogar.

07 Apesar de proibido no Brasil, o Jogo do Tigrinho ou Fortune Tiger funciona em sites e

08 aplicativos de apostas, e viralizou nas redes sociais neste ano. O professor de informática, João

09 Paulo Freitas de Oliveira, do Instituto Federal da Paraíba (IFPB), ____ acompanhado o

10 envolvimento de crianças e adolescentes com esse tema, inclusive na escola. “Até os alunos mais

11 novos já jogam”, diz.

12 Segundo um estudo da Unicef, agência da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), para a

13 infância, 22% dos adolescentes entrevistados afirmam que apostaram em jogos de azar pela

14 primeira vez aos 11 anos ou menos; a maioria começou aos 12 anos ou mais (78%).

15 Em junho, o programa Criança e Consumo, do Instituto Alana, denunciou a Meta ao

16 Ministério Público do Estado de São Paulo após identificar perfis de influenciadores mirins, entre

17 6 e 17 anos, que promovem sites de apostas disponibilizando links de acesso para crianças e

18 adolescentes. Para o coordenador do MBA em cibersegurança da Faculdade de Informática e

19 Administração Paulista (FIAP), Marcelo Lau, é difícil responsabilizar e penalizar os culpados. Isso

20 porque “muitas das plataformas que ofertam esse tipo de serviço não ____ qualquer

21 representação no Brasil”.

22 Apesar de ter bastante gente jogando na escola, Gabriel diz que nunca jogou lá porque

23 preferia estar em um ambiente “sozinho e silencioso”. Mas essa não é a realidade de um aluno

24 do 1º ano do ensino médio [por volta de 15 anos] que, na primeira quinzena do mês, já tinha

25 gastado mais de R$ 1.000 com o Jogo do Tigrinho, como relata o professor João Paulo Freitas

26 de Oliveira. “Ao questionar se os pais não o controlavam, ele contou que a mãe gastava mais do

27 que ele no jogo. Convoquei a reitoria e vamos montar um plano de ação”.

28 Mesmo crianças que estudam em escolas onde o uso do celular é proibido estão sujeitas a

29 conhecer os jogos de aposta. É o caso de Felipe, 11 anos. Ele se deparou com o Tigrinho no

30 curso de inglês que frequenta no contraturno escolar quando um colega de 14 anos jogava pelo

31 celular. “Eu já tinha visto propagandas e tinha ouvido falar sobre o jogo em vários lugares, mas

32 nunca tinha visto ninguém jogar. Não fiquei curioso porque não gosto desse tipo de jogo de

33 aposta”, conta.

34 Mas o que mais preocupa Oliveira é que os alunos beneficiados pelo Pé-de-Meia [programa

35 que busca incentivar os estudantes de famílias de baixa renda a frequentar as aulas do ensino

36 médio] estão se viciando e usam o dinheiro para fazer apostas on-line. “Isso é gravíssimo”, diz.

The mystery of the cover letter

1. Dear SIR/MADAM—You asked for a short cover letter to accompany my application to work
2. in your sales department. I could spend time telling you that your company is the one place I
3. have always wanted to work. I have named all of my pets after your various product lines. I am
4. grateful just to be given the opportunity to be rejected by you.
5. Or I could use up precious words exaggerating my experiences and skills. To pick out just
6. a few, in a previous role I quadrupled the annual revenues in less than three minutes. I have
7. lived in all of the world’s most important emerging markets, and speak fluent Mandarin, Hindi,
8. Spanish, and Portuguese. I can ___ (sing) in all these languages, too. In my spare time, I like
9. to meditate, kickbox, and teach underprivileged children how to read. If I am extremely busy, I
10. do all three of these things at once.
11. Or I could devote paragraphs to describing my problem-solving credentials using the STAR
12. method that your own website says is a crucial part of your interview process. As an example, I
13. previously worked for a chickpea distributor in Alaska. A colleague was underperforming badly
14. and I was asked to mentor him. I transformed his numbers and he became the best-performing
15. salesperson in the entire chickpea industry. As a result, the bastard was promoted to run the
16. department and I find myself looking for work.
17. Or I could tell you more about my character and values. I am passionate about everything.
18. I have a growth mindset: growth means more to me than anything (That’s a joke, code for
19. showing that I understand that work should be fun, too.)! I am extremely resilient: this is the
20. 435th cover letter that I have sent out in the past month, even though your company is the only
21. place I truly want to work.
22. Or I could just use this letter as an excuse to repeat keywords from the job advertisement
23. for this position. In fact, that’s basically all I have been doing so far, with the exception of
24. “chickpea” and “bastard”. Passionate, problem-solving, purpose? Tick. I smuggled “code” in
25. there, too, as a subliminal signal that I might be able to program.
26. Or I could ask what the hell is the point of me writing a cover letter at all? If the idea is to
27. prove that I am willing to put in extra time, then ChatGPT has reduced the effort of writing a
28. generic cover letter to almost nothing. I know you have to filter people out somehow. But
29. wouldn’t getting us to do some kind of aptitude or personality test tell you more about my
30. candidacy?
31. I can ___ (make) all of the same boasts in the CV you also asked for, and on LinkedIn
32. (where I may be less likely to make things up). I have followed all of the usual advice on cover
33. letters, as has almost every other applicant. The only defensible argument that I can ___ (think)
34. of for requesting a cover letter is that you might stumble across a candidate honest enough to
35. tell you what they think and memorable enough to warrant an interview.
36. I look forward to meeting you in person soon.
37. Yours sincerely, Frank Lee.
