Children Who Are Driven To School Are At A Disadvantage
Cycling or walking to school increases a child's ability to concentrate in the classroom, the results of a Danish study published Friday showed.Fonte: Business Insider
Children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, performed less well in a test measuring concentration levels, than those who had walked or cycled, a joint study by researchers at the universities in Copenhagen and Aarhus found.
"The exercise one uses to transport oneself to school is reflected in the level of concentration one has circa four hours later," said Niels Egelund, a co-author of the report.
The results surprised the researchers, as their hypothesis originally focused on the effects of eating breakfast and lunch on pupils' ability to concentrate.
"The results showed that having breakfast and lunch has an impact, but not very much compared to having exercised," Egelund told AFP.
"As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent of someone half a year further in their studies," he added.
In the survey, taken by 19,527 pupils aged five to 19 years, participants were asked about their exercise habits and were then given a basic test measuring their concentration.
"Most people know the feeling of being refreshed after having exercised, but it is surprising that the effect lasts for so long," Egelund said.

YouTube remove vídeo do PSD por «conteúdo comercialmente enganador»
Um vídeo divulgado pelo PSD através das redes sociais foi removido do YouTube por «violação da política do YouTube relativa a spam, esquemas e conteúdo comercialmente enganador».Fonte: Diário Digital
O vídeo em questão estava a alojado no Youtube e fazia parte de uma mensagem publicada esta tarde na página do Partido Social Democrata, a qual remetia para um filme em que os sociais-democratas elencavam as medidas propostas pelo Governo para a dinamização da Economia.
No entanto, embora a mensagem no Facebook continue acessível, o vídeo acabou retirado pelo administrador do YouTube e substituído por uma mensagem, no mínimo, embaraçosa, em que pode ler-se que «este vídeo foi removido por violação da política do YouTube relativa a spam, esquemas e conteúdo comercialmente enganador».

Coveiros em Belas suspeitos de praticar tiro com caveiras
Ossadas de cadáveres no cemitério de Belas, em Sintra, terão sido utilizadas para praticar tiro ao alvo por quatro coveiros. O caso foi denunciado à PSP pela Junta de Freguesia de Belas, revelou hoje o presidente à agência Lusa.Fonte: NGL
O autarca, Guilherme Dias, denunciou a situação à polícia em janeiro e afirmou à agência Lusa que os quatro homens praticavam os alegados crimes de profanação de cadáver num período em que o cemitério se encontrava aberto ao público, ao início da tarde.
“Os quatro coveiros andavam com uma pressão de ar a dar tiros aos ossos. Três ou quatro caveiras da vala comum estavam cheias de chumbos e já foram recolhidas pela polícia”, disse.
O autarca adiantou que atualmente apenas um dos funcionários continua a trabalhar no cemitério. Dois apresentaram a demissão e outro trabalha para a junta, mas foi colocado no serviço de jardinagem.
Fonte policial disse à agência Lusa que a PSP já identificou os suspeitos e recolheu material de prova como as ossadas e as armas envolvidas. ”Os coveiros estariam a utilizar ossadas e a vandalizá-las. Estavam a ser utilizadas para fazer tiro ao alvo com armas de ar comprimido”, referiu.

Cientistas da NASA estão a estudar solo no Alentejo
O solo e a água de Cabeço de Vide, Fronteira, estão a ser estudados pela
NASA. Os cientistas acreditam que possa ter ocorrido nesta zona,
conhecida pelas propriedades termais, o início da vida na Terra.
As ‘suspeitas’ começaram quando os estudos nas termas de Cabeço de Vide revelaram uma bactéria semelhante a outra que está a ser estudada actualmente pela agência norte-americana em Marte. "A NASA teve conhecimento através de um artigo científico do professor José Manuel Marques, do Instituto Superior Técnico, e rapidamente desenvolveu contactos", explicou Manuel Fontinhas, presidente da Junta de Cabeço de Vide. "Chegaram esta semana e já enviaram amostras para os EUA", disse o autarca.

José Castelo Branco anuncia entrada na política
José Castelo Branco garantiu esta semana que vai candidatar-se à presidência da Câmara de Sintra nas próximas eleições, quando o [seu] «amigo» Fernando Seara terminar o mandato. O socialite já está inclusivamente a recolher as assinaturas necessárias.Fonte: SOL
«Os meus fãs da zona querem que eu seja o presidente, e eu sei que fico bem num palácio», justificou Castelo Branco ao SapoFama, acrescentando que o seu súbito interesse pela política se deve à necessidade de querer prestar um bom serviço público: «Quero acabar com a pobreza escondida. Quero ajudar e pôr as pessoas a trabalhar. Há pessoas que passam fome e ninguém sabe», disse.
No entanto, o marchand de arte não se quer aliar a nenhum partido político. Quer sim «ser independente até que a voz [me] doa», garantiu, questionado pelo SapoFama.
A cerca de um ano das eleições autárquicas, Castelo Branco diz que conta com o apoio da mulher Betty Grafstein, que, nas suas palavras, já é «uma autêntica e verdadeira primeira-dama».
