EL MUSEO BRASIL INAUGURA SU PRIMERA EXPOSICIÓN TRAS EL CATASTRÓFICO INCENDIO

"El museo sigue vivo”. Las palabras deAlexander Kellner llegan a tiempo y entusiasman en la apertura de la nueva muestra que el Museo Nacional de Brasil presenta al público desde hoy en la Casa de la Moneda, la primera después del feroz incendio que en septiembre destruyó la mayor parte de su acervo y su edificio . El presidente de esa instituición científicocultural de Río de Janeiro, la más antigua en su tipo, enfantizó que, así, seguirá “cumpliendo su función” aun fuera del edificio bicentenario , durante el acto de inauguración de la exposición “ Cuando no todo era hielo, nuevos descubrimientos en el continente antártico”.

Centrada en la Antártida, la muestra destaca en dos salas del trabajo realizado por paleontólogos en ese continente helado y se pueden observar fósiles y herramientas empleadas por el equipo de investigadores que se desplazó hasta esa región del Polo Sur, tiendas de campaña o fotografías, entre otros.

La exposición, que forma parte del proyecto Paleontar, estaba prevista para octubre pasado y, tras el incendio en el palacio de São Cristóvão, el elegante edificio neoclásico del parque de la Quinta da Boa Vista de Río, el público la podrá visitar desde hoy y hasta mayo, con entrada gratuita, en el Centro Cultural de la Casa de la Moneda.

El museo, que poseía invaluables colecciones de paleontología, antropología y arqueología, compuestas por cerca de 20 millones de piezas ( desde momias egipcias al fósil más antiguo de América Latina), muchas de las cuales se perdieron en el incendio, retoma de esta manera sus actividades y comienza a reponerse de la catástrofe. Solamente seis de las piezas que ofrece la exposición actual fueron recuperadas de las llamas que devoraron el edificio el 2 de septiembre. Entre ellas hay fósiles de 80 millones de años.

En estos meses, el Museo Nacional había dado la buena noticia de su asociación con Google Arts & Culture, plataforma a través de la cual puede recorrerse virtualmente cómo eran el lugar y su importante colección antes del incendio. Ese recorrido virtual, cómo otros que ha desarrollado la aplicación, tiene ahora un valor documental insospechado.

To exercise or not to exercise ...

Are more young people overweight than in the past and do they exercise enough?We decided to ask four young people what they thought about this problem.

1- HEATHEROHURUOGU, aged 14 from Leeds, tells us what she thinks about keeping fit.

“I know there have been a lot of stories in newspapers about how fat young people are getting, but we're not all sitting at home at a computer eating crisps and chocolate. Some of us do actually realise that keeping fit is quite important. If anybody should be blamed, I think schools and parents are the problem. At my school we have fewer hours of PE lessons than we used to have. The school has decided we need to spend more time preparing for our exams. My mum and dad trust me to take a bus home if I stay late at school for hockey training, but my friend Carly can't come because her parents work and they are worried about her travelling alone.”

2-OLIVER MCKENNA , aged 15, Edinburgh, sees things differently.

“I don't like organised sport or spending my time with guys skateboarding. I love computers – programming them, playing games on them, surfing the Internet and in my free time that's what I do. It's true that I do need to lose some weight, though. Next week, Mum's taking me to a doctor so we can ask about going on a diet. Dad wants me to join the gym he goes to, but I think it's a bit boring working out all the time. In fact, there's a computer game now called Wii. I'm thinking of getting it because you actually do the actions of the games – you know, things like swinging your arm to hit the ball in tennis. That'd be a good way to get some exercise!”

3-REECE WILKINS , aged 13, Swansea, has another view. “I'm an active person and so are most of my friends. We all like to spend some time on our Nintendos, PlayStations or whatever – all young people enjoy computer games – but we also belong to football teams or some kind of sports club. We don't have to make an effort to be fit – young people like active games. No, our problem is that we eat too much rubbish. In fact, we drink a lot of bad things – sweet, fizzy drinks which are full of sugar and very unhealthy. Also, we all love fast food and often eat hamburgers and chips. If we ate better, I think most of us would lose the extra weight we have.”

4-HANK DARROW , aged 14, London, shares his opinions with us.

“I've spent the last four years trying to lose weight, and it hasn't been easy. My problem started when I was a baby – it wasn't really my fault. You see, I wasn't very interested in food, and so my mum made all kinds of delicious things to get me to eat. Of course, all those tasty foods were very fattening. My mum used to carry a bowl of food everywhere we went and would follow me around the house or playground trying to get me to eat just one more bite. Well, I got used to eating constantly and, by the time we all realised that I had gained too much weight, the damage had been done. Now I follow a special diet – it was hard at first, but once I got used to it, I actually like it.And I look and feel so much better – I don't want to go back to the way I was.”

PÚBLICO ALVO

Foi utilizada a tecnologia mais avançada do mundo. Não se economizou dinheiro no experimento. A criação do animal de estimação perfeito: um gato falante.

Os gatos já são os preferidos pelas pessoas solitárias, a lógica diz que um gato falante seria ainda mais eficiente. Mas, por algum motivo, o gato não falava.

Todos os fios estavam no lugar, o tratamento foi um sucesso aparente. Apesar disso, os cientistas tentavam conversar em vão com o gato que olhava com desdém e voltava a dormir. Eles testavam todos os testes e experimentavam todos os experimentos, mas nada do gato falar.

Até que um dia, a filha de um dos cientistas visitava o laboratório e o gato finalmente falou. Conversou com ela por horas. Mas quando os cientistas tentavam falar com o gato, este nada.

A ideia foi da garotinha: “Se vocês quiserem, eu posso perguntar pra ele porque ele não fala com vocês.” A resposta do gato foi a pior possível. O gato explicou porque ele não falava com os cientistas: “Porque vocês não têm nada de interessante para dizer.” O experimento, enfim, se provou um fracasso. Um animal de estimação falante que só fala com quem ele quer não é um produto muito bom. Deram o gato para a garotinha e alteraram o projeto.

Tudo indicava que, dessa vez, acertariam. Para a surpresa de todos, foi outro fracasso. Ao contrário do gato, o cachorro nunca parava de falar e, o que é pior, só conversava sobre o BBB.
