As Furniture Burns Quicker, Firefighters Reconsider Tactics House fires have changed. The New York Fire Department is rethinking its tactics for residential fires, while trying to hold onto its culture of “aggressive interior firefighting” — charging inside burning buildings as fast as possible. Plastic fillings in sofas and mattresses burn much faster than older fillings like cotton, helping to transform the behavior of house fires in the last few decades, firefighters and engineers say. With more plastic in homes, residential fires are now likely to use up all the oxygen in a room before they consume all flammable materials. “Years ago you could break a window and it took the fire several minutes to develop — or tens of minutes”, a fire battalion chief in Queens, George K. Healy, said. “Now we're learning when you vent that window or the door, the fire is developing in, say, a minute.” LIBRADO, R. Disponivel em: www.nytimes.com. Acesso em: 15 jun. 2013 (adaptado). O texto aborda o tema dos incéndios residenciais, que se propagam com mais rapidez atualmente por causa da composição sintética dos móveis. da estrutura das construções atuais. da acumulação demasiada de tecidos. dos recursos insuficientes de combate ao fogo. da ventilação inapropriada dos cômodos.

Letters Children and Guns Published: May 7, 2013 To the Editor: Re “Girl's Death by Gunshot Is Rejected as Symbol” (news article, May 6): | find it abhorrent that the people of Burkesville, Ky., are not willing to learn a lesson from the tragic shooting of a 2-year-old girl by her 5-year-old brother. | am not judging their lifestyle of introducing guns to children at a young age, but | do feel that it’s irresponsible not to practice basic safety with anything potentially lethal — guns, knives, fire and so on. How can anyone justify leaving guns lying around, unlocked and possibly loaded, in a home with two young children? | wish the family of the victim comfort during this difficult time, but to dismiss this as a simple accident leaves open the potential for many more such “accidents” to occur. | hope this doesn’t have to happen several more times for legislators to realize that something needs to be changed.

Israel Travel Guide Israel has always been a standout destination. From the days of prophets to the modern day nomad this tiny slice of land on the eastern Mediteranean has long attracted visitors. While some arrive in the ‘Holy Land’ on a spiritual quest, many others are on cultural tours, beach holidays and eco-tourism trips. Weeding through Israel’s convoluted history is both exhilarating and exhausting. There are crumbling temples, ruined cities, abandoned forts and hundreds of places associated with the Bible. And while a sense of adventure is required, most sites are safe and easily accessible. Most of all, Israel is about its incredibly diverse population. Jews come from all over the world to live here, while about 20% of the population is Muslim. Politics are hard to get away from in Israel as everyone has an opinion on how to move the country forward — with a ready ear you're sure to hear opinions from every side of the political spectrum.

One of the things that made an incredible impression on me in the film was Frida's comfort in and celebration of her own unique beauty. She didn't try to fit into conventional ideas or images about womanhood or what makes someone or something beautiful. Instead, she fully inhabited her own unique gifts, not particularly caring what other people thought. She was magnetic and beautiful in her own right. She painted for years, not to be a commercial success or to be discovered, but to express her own inner pain, joy, family, love and culture. She absolutely and resolutely was who she was. The trueness of her own unique vision and her ability to stand firmly in her own truth was what made her successful in the end. HUTZLER, L. Disponível em: www.etbscreenwriting.com.
