Some Schooling on Backpacks

Dr. Ian K. Smith

Doctors are concerned that looking cool could be hurting kids.

Here are some ideas to avoid injury.

Like many kids now heading back to school, I used one of those fashionable single-strap, over-the-shoulder bags to carry my books around when I was studying in New York City. But at Dartmouth Medical School, my 5 city bag turned out to be totally inadequate for lugging heavy medical texts. I’d lose valuable minutes at the start of a lecture rubbing an aching arm and shoulder before I could start writing down what the prof said. Taking a cue from classmates, I finally got a large, wide strapped bag with a third strap that wrapped around the hips. It wasn’t chic but it did wonders for my sore muscles — and note taking.

That was a first-hand lesson in how the wrong backpack, or carrying one improperly, can lead to  serious problems. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 5,900 kids were treated at hospital emergency rooms, clinics and doctors’ offices last year for sprains and strains directly caused by backpacks. Indeed, such injuries are so widespread 20 that more than 70% of physicians surveyed by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons listed backpacks as a potential clinical problem for children, and 58% said they had treated patients for pain caused by heavy backpacks.

How to avoid such problems? Like my classmates, you can choose bags that have wide, padded straps and a belt. That will help transfer some of the weight from the back and shoulders to the hips. You should also tighten both straps firmly, so the pack rests about 5 cm above 30 your waist. Also, remember to pack your bag with the heaviest items closest to your back and to bend both knees when you pick it up.

Have a question? You can e-mail Dr. Ian at ianmedical@aol.com.

Given the case of a 43-year-old French psychiatrist who suffered a minor stroke after spending more than an hour talking with a telephone between his head and shoulders, doctors are now warning 5 us not to cradle the phone between our heads and shoulders. The stroke caused the man to experience difficulty speaking and a temporary blindness in his left eye along with ringing in his left ear. Neurologist Mathieu Zuber warns, “It shows us how everyday 10 activities can have unpredictable consequences for some.”

Doubts over a ‘possible sign of life’ on Venus show how science works

It was one of those “big, if true” stories. In September, scientists reported that Venus’ atmosphere seems to be laced with phosphine, a possible sign of life. Now there’s increasing emphasis on the “if.” As scientists take fresh looks at the data behind the Venus announcement, and add other datasets to the mix, the original claim of inexplicable amounts of phosphine is being called into doubt.

Doubts over a ‘possible sign of life’ on Venus show how science works

Dúvidas sobre um ‘possível sinal de vida’ em Vênus mostram como funciona a ciência

It was one of those “big, if true” stories. Foi uma daquelas histórias “grandes, embora verdadeiras”.

In September, scientists reported that Venus’ atmosphere seems to be laced with phosphine, a possible sign of life. Em Setembro, os cientistas relataram que a atmosfera de Vénus parece estar misturada com fosfina, um possível sinal de vida.

Now there’s increasing emphasis on the “if.” Agora há uma ênfase crescente no “se”.

As scientists take fresh looks at the data behind the Venus announcement, and add other datasets to the mix, the original claim of inexplicable amounts of phosphine is being called into doubt. À medida que os cientistas analisam novamente os dados por detrás do anúncio de Vênus e acrescentam outros conjuntos de dados à mistura, a alegação original de quantidades inexplicáveis de fosfina está sendo posta em dúvida.

And that’s a good thing, many scientists say. E isso é bom, dizem muitos cientistas.

“It’s exactly how science should work,” says planetary scientist Paul Byrne of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, who studies Venus but was not involved in any of the phosphine papers. “É exatamente assim que a ciência deveria funcionar”, diz o cientista planetário Paul Byrne, da Universidade Estatal da Carolina do Norte, em Raleigh, que estuda Vénus, mas não esteve envolvido em nenhum dos artigos sobre fosfina.

“It’s too early to say one way or the other what this detection means for Venus.” “É muito cedo para dizer de uma forma ou de outra o que esta detecção significa para Vénus.”

More Than Just Children’s Books

Mais do que apenas livros infantis

Krumulus, a small bookstore in Germany, has everything a kid could want: parties, readings, concerts, plays, puppet shows, workshops and book clubs.

A Krumulus, uma pequena livraria na Alemanha, tem tudo o que uma criança pode desejar: festas, leituras, concertos, peças de teatro, espetáculos de marionetes, oficinas e clubes do livro.

“I knew it was going to be very difficult to open a bookstore, everyone tells you you’re crazy, there will be no future,” says Anna Morlinghaus, Krumulus’s founder.

“Eu sabia que seria muito difícil abrir uma livraria, todo mundo diz que você está louco, que não haverá futuro”, diz Anna Morlinghaus, fundadora da Krumulus.

Still, she wanted to try. A month before her third son was born, she opened the store in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district.

Ainda assim, ela queria tentar. Um mês antes do nascimento do seu terceiro filho, ela abriu a loja no bairro de Kreuzberg, em Berlim.

BERLIN — On a recent Saturday afternoon, a hush fell in the bright, airy “reading-aloud” room at Krumulus, a small children’s bookstore in Berlin, as Sven Wallrodt, one of the store’s employees, stood up to speak.

BERLIM – Numa recente tarde de sábado, o silêncio caiu na luminosa e arejada sala de “leitura em voz alta” da Krumulus, uma pequena livraria infantil em Berlim, quando Sven Wallrodt, um dos funcionários da loja, se levantou para falar. 

Brandishing a newly published illustrated children’s book about the life of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, he looked at the crowd of eager, mostly school-aged children and their parents.

Brandindo um livro infantil ilustrado recentemente publicado sobre a vida de Johannes Gutenberg, o inventor da imprensa, ele olhou para a multidão de crianças ansiosas, a maioria em idade escolar, e seus pais.

“Welcome to this book presentation”, he said. “If you fall asleep, snore quietly”.

“Bem-vindos à apresentação deste livro”, disse ele. “Se adormecer, ronca baixinho”.

Everyone laughed, but no one fell asleep.

Todos riram, mas ninguém adormeceu.

An hour later, the children followed Wallrodt down to the bookstore’s basement workshop, where he showed them how Gutenberg fit leaden block letters into a metal plate.

Uma hora depois, as crianças seguiram Wallrodt até à oficina na cave da livraria, onde ele lhes mostrou como Gutenberg encaixava letras maiúsculas numa placa de metal.

Then the children printed their own bookmark using a technique similar to Gutenberg’s, everyone was thrilled.

Depois as crianças imprimiram o seu próprio marcador usando uma técnica semelhante à de Gutenberg, todos ficaram emocionados.

BERLIN — On a recent Saturday afternoon, a hush fell in the bright, airy “reading-aloud” room at Krumulus, a small children’s bookstore in Berlin, as Sven Wallrodt, one of the store’s employees, stood up to speak.

BERLIM – Numa recente tarde de sábado, o silêncio caiu na luminosa e arejada sala de “leitura em voz alta” da Krumulus, uma pequena livraria infantil em Berlim, quando Sven Wallrodt, um dos funcionários da loja, se levantou para falar. 

Brandishing a newly published illustrated children’s book about the life of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, he looked at the crowd of eager, mostly school-aged children and their parents.

Brandindo um livro infantil ilustrado recentemente publicado sobre a vida de Johannes Gutenberg, o inventor da imprensa, ele olhou para a multidão de crianças ansiosas, a maioria em idade escolar, e seus pais.

“Welcome to this book presentation”, he said. “If you fall asleep, snore quietly”.

“Bem-vindos à apresentação deste livro”, disse ele. “Se adormecer, ronca baixinho”.

Everyone laughed, but no one fell asleep.

Todos riram, mas ninguém adormeceu.

An hour later, the children followed Wallrodt down to the bookstore’s basement workshop, where he showed them how Gutenberg fit leaden block letters into a metal plate.

Uma hora depois, as crianças seguiram Wallrodt até à oficina na cave da livraria, onde ele lhes mostrou como Gutenberg encaixava letras maiúsculas numa placa de metal.

Then the children printed their own bookmark using a technique similar to Gutenberg’s, everyone was thrilled.

Depois as crianças imprimiram o seu próprio marcador usando uma técnica semelhante à de Gutenberg, todos ficaram emocionados.

❑TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:

How the American Dream has changed

Como o sonho americano mudou

The phrase ‘American Dream’ was officially coined just under 90 years ago in a book called The Epic of America by James Truslow Adams.

A frase ‘American Dream’ foi oficialmente cunhada há pouco menos de 90 anos em um livro chamado The Epic of America, de James Truslow Adams. 

He argued it was “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.”

Ele argumentou que era “aquele sonho de uma terra em que a vida deveria ser melhor, mais rica e mais plena para todos, com oportunidades para cada um de acordo com sua capacidade ou realização”.

Today: No single American Dream?

Hoje: Nenhum sonho americano?

For some today the American Dream means a chance for fame and celebrity, while for others it means succeeding through the old adage of family values and hard work.

Para alguns, hoje, o sonho americano significa uma oportunidade de fama e celebridade, enquanto para outros significa sucesso através do velho ditado dos valores familiares e do trabalho árduo.

Still others believe that the American Dream just represents a world closed to all but the elite with their wealth and contacts

Outros ainda acreditam que o Sonho Americano representa apenas um mundo fechado a todos, exceto à elite com a sua riqueza e contatos.

Meanwhile, surveys have found that almost half of all millennials believe the American Dream is dead.

Entretanto, pesquisas revelaram que quase metade de todos os millennials acreditam que o sonho americano está morto.

In an ever-changing country, the idea of what the American Dream means to different people is changing too.

Num país em constante mudança, a ideia do que o sonho americano significa para diferentes pessoas também está mudando.
