Derby minhoto terminou empatado Fevereiro 29, 2008

Braga

0-0

V. Guimarães

Jogo tactico deu resultado nulo

O derby minhoto, o primeiro dos derbies desta jornada futebolística, abriu a Jornada 30 da Liga Bwin, no Estádio Axa em Braga, com ambas as equipas a terem ambições europeias.

Ao Braga a vitória era essencial face ao atraso que já tem na classificação face a esses objectivos, enquanto ao Vitória, porventura, o empate era um resultado mais aceitável.

O jogo foi bastante equilibrado e muito tactico com muita pressão na zona de meio-campo e com as equipas a privilegiarem a segurança defensiva. Deste modo o jogo foi interessante com o empenho dos jogadores mas com poucas oportunidades criadas.

O Vitória depois de uma excelente simulação da esquerda de Ghilas que libertando-se do adversário directo cruzou para a área, chegou a marcar de cabeça, mas o golo foi bem anulado por fora de jogo.

À maior tranquilidade, frieza e organização vimaranense, respondia o Braga, com mais nervo e vibração – que o diga João Pereira que viu o cartão amarelo por falta sobre um adversário e que se candidatou a outro por protestos. O Braga aos 41′ após um canto esteve perto de marcar num desvio em jeito d pontapé de bicicleta de Linz mas a bola foi desviada do caminho da baliza pelo corpo de Flávio Meireles. Já em cima do minuto 45 o buliçoso jogador ex-Benfica, João Pereira, foi empurrado ilegalmente dentro da área vimaranenese mas o penalty não foi concedido. No minuto seguinte voltou a pedir falta, imediatament antes de irem todos para o descanso.

Na segunda parte o Guimarães terá tido ligeira supremacia na posse de bola mas foi o Braga que dispôs da maior oportunidade. Um lançamento para a esquerda aproveitando um arranque de um jogador vindo de trás (face a vários que estavam em posição ilegal) permitiu depois o passe atrasado para o remate de primeira de Paulo Jorge forte mas por cima da barra. Uma outra jogada excelente pela esquerda de Matheus culminou com um cruzamento /remate rasteiro mas com corte da defensiva vimaranense.

O empate justifica-se mas como dissemos ficou a impressão de um penalty por assinalar no minuto 45′ que poderia ter aberto o marcador e quem sabe proporcionar uma segunda parte mais vibrante.

If you came – Ruth Pitter

If you came to my secret glade,
Weary with heat,
I would set you down in the shade
I would wash your feet.

If you came in the winter sad,
Wanting for bread,
I would give you the last that I had,
I would give you my bed.

But the place is hidden apart
Like a nest by a brook,
And I will not show you my heart
By a word, by a look.

The place is hidden apart
Like the nest of a bird:
And I will not show you my heart
By a look, by a word.

INDIAN MUSLIMS PROTESTS AGAINST THE HUMANRIGHTS VIOLATION OF INDIAN POLICE

PRESS RELEASE

Violation against MNP activists in kadayanallur
Action to be initiated against Inspector and DSP
MNP President told in press meet

TAMIL MUSLIMS PROTEST AGAINST THE HUMANRIGHTS VIOLATION OF TAMILNADU POLICE IN INDIA

Manitha Neethi Pasarai State President M.Mohamed Ali Jinnah conducted a press meet today in Thirunelveli to insist the Govt. to dismiss the Kadayanallur Police Inspector P.K.Ravi and Puliyangudi D.S.P.Ashok Kumar.

He told the reporters that In 2006, Rathnasabapathy, ACP, Intelligence Service, Coimbatore City filed a false case relating to the recovery of explosives, against five Muslims youths and Manitha Neethi Pasarai. Then the case was transferred to CBCID –SIT by Tamilnadu Govt for further investigation.

SIT had submitted the final report that the case filed by Rathnasabapathy is false one and it is quoted in the report that Rathnasabapathy himself is the kingpin of the bomb conspiracy against Muslims and MNP. Regarding the false case, Manitha Neethi Pasarai State President has conducted a press meet at Coimbatore yesterday, insisting that government to dismiss the police officers who made bombs and fabricated the documents in the above said case.

In furtherance, MNP decided to launch a poster campaign throughout Tamil Nadu against the chief conspirator of the false case, ACP, Rathnasabapathy and assisting officers.

The posters were also sticked in kadayanallur town, near Tenkasi, Nellai district by the members of our organization, Luqman and Abdul kader Imam yesterday morning by 6.30 AM. While they are sticking posters in kadayanallur main road the Inspector of police by name P.K Ravi attached with kadayanallur PS, came to the spot and restrained them illegally and seized the posters and asked them, “You Muslim dogs, how dare you sticking posters against the police in my jurisdiction”.

Luqman and Abdul kader Imam replied him, “How is it wrong in a democratic country to express our views this manner”. On hearing this answer Inspector got angry and scolded them in third degree language and threatened them, “you will face dire consequences, I will not leave you, I will not allow you to live, if you continue these type of activities against police” and dragged them to kadayanallur PS.

About 9 AM, DSP Ashok kumar came to the PS and scolded them without any enquiry and assaulted them indiscriminately. While the District Secretary of MNP, Mahaboob Ansari asked the DSP, “why are you beating them illegally”, he turned against Ansari and tried to beat him even after he told him that he was an Islamic Cleric (Imam) and District Secretary of MNP and he is violating the principles of legal ethics and the Constitution.

To condemn the action of the Inspector and the DSP, MNP staged a protest in kadayanallur by 4.30 PM today. To restrain the protest the DSP and Inspector ordered a stampede and assaulted the Muslims and MNP activists indiscriminately. 10 Muslims were heavily injured and admitted in causality. 100 were arrested. Situation is very serious.

Above said action of the inspector and DSP is unconstitutional, illegal, inhuman and anti-democratic. The state should intervene into the illegalities and take action against them and save the democratic rights and lives of Muslim Minorities.

MNP condemns the stampede and false cases foisted against MNP activist. The Lock-up atrocities carried out by the DSP and Inspector is highly illegal and unconstitutional.

MNP Demands:

1. After immediate transfer and the departmental inquiry should be conducted against the inhuman Inspector P.K.Ravi and DSP Ashok Kumar and dismiss them from the service.

2. The State should withdraw the false cases, which were falsely implicated against MNP activist while sticking the posters and hospitalized in the stampede injuries.

3. A.C.P.Rathnasabapathy Intellegence Service, Coimbatore city who is the kingpin and chief conspirator of the false explosive recovery case in Coimbatore in July, 2006, should be terminated from service and must be put behind the bars.

4. MNP is the people’s movement, which has strong membership and will be withstand against any conspiracy, conspirated by A.C.P Rathnasabapathy, DSP Ashok Kumar, Inspector Ravi or by any others, in any kind.

Protest through out Tamilnadu :

MNP staged the protest through out Tamilnadu against the atrocities of DSP and Inspector and insisting the State Govt. to dismiss them immediately. Thousands of people participated in the protest conducted today in Chennai, Vilupuram, Nagapatinam, Tanjore, Theni, Dindigul, Coimbatore, Madurai, Ramanathapuram, Nagerkoil.

Curiosidades Matemáticas (IV)

Em A Minha Matilde & Ca. vi (e copiei) a seguinte interessante curiosidade matemática:

Pega uma calculadora, porque não dá para “fazer de cabeça”:
1- Digita os 3 primeiros algarismos do teu n.º de telemóvel, não considerando o indicativo (isto é sem o 91, 93 ou 96);
2- Multiplica por 80;
3- Soma 1;
4- Multiplica por 250;
5- Soma com os 4 últimos algarismos do mesmo n.º de telefone;
6- Soma com os 4 últimos algarismos do mesmo n.º de telefone de novo;
7- Subtrai 250;
8- Divide por 2.

E chega-se a que resultado? Pois muito bem ao teu número de telemóvel! Parece estranho?

Pode parecer mas afinal nada que não possa ser explicado. Vejamos:
1-Seja x o número composto pelos 3 primeiros algarismos.
2-Multiplicando por 80 tem-se 80 x
3- somando 1 fica-se com 80 x + 1
4. Multiplicando por 250 fica-se com 250 * (80 x+1)=20000 x + 250
5. Somar os 4 últimos algarismos: pois seja y esses 4 ultimos algarismos. Ficamos a ter
20000 x + 250 + y
6. Voltando a somar os quatro últimos algarismos passamos a ter 20000 x + 250 + 2y
7. Subtraindo 250 fica-se com 20000 x +250+ 2y- 250 = 20000 x + 2 y
8. Dividindo por dois vem 10000 x + y
E pronto não há surpresa nenhuma os três primeiros algarismos (x), multiplicados que ficam por 10000 aparecem nas três primeiras posições e os 4 ultimos algarismos (representados por y) ocupam as restantes 4 posições. Afinal a matemática até parece que produz milagres.

As operações que são mandadas fazer não são mais que manobras de diversão e tudo fica como se mandasse escrever pura e simplesmente o teu numero de telemovel. Mas interessante é!

Fevereiro 28, 2008

A cantora e actriz Simone de Oliveira teve um espectáculo de homenagem no Coliseu de Lisboa, com vários artistas a interpretar temas que a consagraram. “Num País Chamado Simone” foi o nome atribuido ao espectáculo que comemorou os 50 anos de carreira de Simone de Oliveira e teve lugar no passado dia 25 de Fevereiro. O Presidente da República esteve presente.

Mas porquê esta notícia agora no blog com dias de atraso?

Pelo simples facto de que passou-se a saber pelo programa Grande Entrevista da RTP de hoje, programa apresentado por Judite de Sousa e que teve Simone como entrevistada, pela voz da própria homenageada de que o Ministro da Cultura mandou informar que não poderia estar presente no espectáculo daquela noite. A incredulidade é que o espectáculo já tinha sido no dia anterior!
