The 'Queen's Gambit' Effect: Everyone Wants a Chess Set Now
_______(1) for the past few years the most popular _______(2) on Netflix was undoubtedly Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, as portrayed by Claire Foy and Olivia Colman in The Crown, this fall another type of queen _______(3) her mark: Beth Harmon, the captivating protagonist of The Queen's Gambit, a Netflix original that became an overnight sensation and inspired a slew of discerning viewers to pick up _______(4).
Call it the Queen's Gambit effect: Chessboards are flying off the (literal and virtual) rack in the wake
of the show's hit season. Just ask Anthony Barzilay Freund, editorial director and director of fine art at
vintage site 1stDibs: “The Queen's Gambit is driving an interest in the game of chess among new audiences
and demographics,” Freund confirms: “At 1stDibs, in just the month following the show's release, we've
seen a 100% increase in sales of chessboards, pieces, and tables as compared to this time period last
year.”
Of course, while it might be enjoying a renewed popularity at the moment, the game of chess dates back centuries and has long captivated players all over the world. It's believed to have derived from a 7th-century Indian game, then evolved as it spread across Asia and Europe in the following centuries. As a result, says Freund, “you can find a variety of vintage and contemporary chess paraphernalia from dealers all over the world.” Those who don't necessarily have the budget for pawns of precious stone have a myriad of options on the market at all price ranges. So light a fire, make a drink, and set up the chessboard – Beth Harmon would be proud.

Chinese Woman Opens Plane’s Emergency Exit for Some Fresh Air
A flight was delayed for an hour and a woman detained by police after she opened the emergency exit for “a breath of fresh air” before the flight took off in central China’s Hubei province, mainland media reported. The incident happened on Xiamen Air Flight MF8215 from Wuhan to Lanzhou, which was scheduled to take off at 3.45 p.m. on September 23.
Cabin crew had briefed the woman, who was in her 50s, about the rules when sitting next to the emergency exit and reminded her not to touch the button that opened the emergency exit. However, the woman said she needed some fresh air and touched the button to open the exit when the stewardess turned around to help others, the report said. The woman was taken away and the flight was delayed for an hour. Opening the emergency exit can be considered to be disturbing public order in an aircraft, which is punishable by police detention and a fine.
In July last year, a woman who was flying for the first time mistook the emergency door for a lavatory door before her plane took off in Nanjing. The emergency slide was released and the flight was delayed for two hours. The woman was detained for 10 days. Some passengers have paid a heavy price for releasing the emergency slide, which may take days and considerable expense to repair and reinstall. In January 2015, a man who opened an emergency door after a plane landed in Chongqing had to pay 35,000 yuan (150,000 baht) in compensation to the airline.
In June, a man from Hubei who was returning to China from Bangkok on a Thai Lion Air Flight opened an emergency exit before take-off. After apologising repeatedly, according to witnesses, he was held by Thai authorities for one day and given a fine of 500 baht before being deported.

Lockdown Named 2020’s Word of the Year by Collins Dictionary
Lockdown, the noun that has come to define so many lives across the world in 2020, has been
named word of the year by Collins Dictionary. Lockdown is defined by Collins as “the imposition of stringent
restrictions on travel, social interaction, and access to public spaces”. The 4.5-billion-word Collins Corpus,
which contains written material from websites, books and newspapers, as well as spoken material from
radio, television and conversations, registered a 6,000% increase in ______(1) usage. In 2019, there were
4,000 recorded instances of lockdown being used. In 2020, this had risen to more than a quarter of a
million.
“Language is a reflection of the world around us and 2020 has been dominated by the global pandemic,” says Collins language content consultant Helen Newstead. “We have chosen lockdown as _______(2) word of the year because it encapsulates the shared experience of billions of people who have had to restrict _______(3) daily lives in order to contain the virus. Lockdown has affected the way we work, study, shop, and socialise. It is not a word of the year to celebrate, but it is, perhaps, one that sums up the year for most of the world.”
Other pandemic-related words such as coronavirus, social distancing and key worker were on the dictionary’s list of the top 10 words. However, the coronavirus crisis didn’t completely dominate this year’s vocabulary: words like “Megxit,” a term to describe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping back as senior members of the royal family, also made the shortlist along with “TikToker” (a person who regularly shares or appears in videos on TikTok), and “BLM.” The abbreviation BLM, for Black Lives Matter is defined by Collins as “a movement that campaigns against racially motivated violence and oppression”, it registered a 581% increase in usage.

Texas High School Opens Grocery Store That Accepts Good Deeds as Payment
How many high schools can say they have a grocery store inside their walls? The student-run grocery store at Linda Tutt High School in rural Sanger, Texas, provides food and other necessities to students and their families while teaching essential job skills. And the store doesn’t accept cash, just good deeds. Instead of money, students shop using a point system.
The store, which aims to address food insecurities for students and others in the community, is open Monday through Wednesday for students and staff within the school district. “A lot of our students come from low socioeconomic families,” principal Anthony Love told KTVT. “It’s a way for students to earn the ability to shop for their families. Through hard work you can earn points. You can earn points for doing chores around the building or helping to clean.”
The pioneering project is run in partnership with First Refuge Ministries, Texas Health Resources, and Albertsons (a grocery store chain). But nearly all the responsibility falls on the students. They stock the shelves, keep track of inventory, address sales, and monitor registers when items are purchased. “I think the most exciting part of it is just teaching our kids job skills that they can carry with them as they graduate high school and move on into the world,” Love said to WAGA-TV. “Students are really the key piece to it.”

Leia os versos a seguir.
As armas e os barões assinalados
Que da ocidental praia lusitana,
Por mares nunca dantes navegados
Passaram ainda além da Taprobana
Quanto à estrofe apresentada, é correto afirmar que
Leia o poema de Charles Baudelaire a seguir.
Correspondências
A Natureza é um templo onde vivos pilares
Deixam sair às vezes palavras confusas:
Por florestas de símbolos, lá o homem cruza
Observado por olhos ali familiares.
Tal longos ecos longe onde lá se confundem,
Dentro de tenebrosa e profunda unidade,
Imenso como a noite e como a claridade,
Os perfumes, as cores e os sons se transfundem.
Perfumes de frescor tal a carne de infantes,
Doces como o oboé, verdes igual ao prado,
– Mais outros, corrompidos, ricos, triunfantes,
Possuindo a expansão de um algo inacabado,
Tal como o âmbar, almíscar, benjoim e incenso,
Que cantam o enlevar dos sentidos e o senso.
Das características do Simbolismo descritas abaixo, assinale a que mais está presente no
poema.
“Eu bem sei que, para titilar-lhe os nervos da fantasia, devia padecer um grande desespero, derramar algumas lágrimas, e não almoçar (…). A realidade é que eu almocei, como os demais dias.”
Nesse trecho de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, Machado de Assis dirige-se ao leitor e informa como a história deveria ser contada, mas prefere dizer a verdade. Com isso, o autor faz uma crítica ao seguinte estilo de época da literatura:
Após a leitura atenta do texto apresentado a seguir, responda à questão proposta.
E a indústria de alimentos na pandemia?
O editorial da edição de 10 de junho do British Medical Journal, assinado por professores da Queen Mary University of London, na Inglaterra, propõe uma reflexão tão interessante que vale provocá-la entre nós, aqui também: a pandemia de Covid-19 deveria tornar ainda mais urgente o combate à outra pandemia, a de obesidade.
O excesso de peso, por si só, já é um fator de risco importante para o agravamento da infecção pelo Sars-CoV 2, como lembram os autores. A probabilidade de uma pessoa com obesidade severa morrer de Covid-19 chega a ser 27% maior do que a de indivíduos com obesidade grau 1, isto é, com um índice de massa corporal entre 30 e 34,9 quilos por metro quadrado, de acordo com a plataforma de registros OpenSAFELY.
O editorial cita uma série de outros dados e possíveis razões para a associação entre a má evolução de certos casos de Covid-19 e a obesidade. No entanto, o que mais destaca é o ambiente obesogênico que o novo coronavírus encontrou no planeta.
Nos Estados Unidos e no Reino Unido, para citar dois exemplos, entre 65% e 70% da população apresentam um peso maior do que o recomendado para o bem da saúde. E, assim, os autores apontam o dedo para a indústria de alimentos que, em sua opinião, em todo o globo não parou de promover produtos ultraprocessados, com muito açúcar, uma quantidade excessiva de sódio e gorduras além da conta.
A crítica do editorial é mesmo cortante: “Fica claro que a indústria de alimentos divide a culpa não apenas pela pandemia de obesidade como pelos casos mais graves de Covid-19 e suas consequências devastadoras”, está escrito.
E os autores cobram medidas, lembrando que o confinamento exigido pela Covid-19 aparentemente piorou o estado nutricional das pessoas, em parte pela falta de acesso a alimentos frescos, em outra parte porque o pânico fez muita gente estocar itens ultraprocessados em casa, já que esses costumam ter maior vida de prateleira, inclusive na despensa.
Mas o que deixou os autores realmente desconfortáveis foram as ações de marketing de algumas marcas nesses tempos desafiadores. Todas, claro, querendo demonstrar o seu envolvimento com iniciativas de responsabilidade social, mas dando tiros que, para olhos mais atentos, decididamente saíram pela culatra. Por exemplo, quando uma indústria bem popular na Inglaterra distribuiu nada menos do que meio milhão de calóricos donuts para profissionais na linha de frente do National Health Service britânico.
A impressão é de que as indústrias de alimentos verdadeiramente preocupadas com a população, cada vez mais acometida pela obesidade, deveriam aproveitar a crise atual para botar a mão na consciência, parar de promover itens pouco saudáveis e reformular boa parte do seu portfólio. As mortes por Covid-19 dão a pista de que essa é a maior causa que elas poderiam abraçar no momento.

GLOSSÁRIO: O termo “ambiente obesogênico” foi criado pelo professor de Bioengenharia da
Universidade da Califórnia, nos EUA, Bruce Blumberg. Segundo ele, são os Obesogênicos os
responsáveis por contribuir no ganho de peso sem que o indivíduo tenha consciência de que está
engordando.
