Os únicos "Natural hazards" em Portugal, segundo a CIA a 1 de Agosto: "Azores subject to severe earthquakes".
Assim, os incêndios não o são.
E a intervenção do Governo foi tardia? A Resolução de Conselho de Ministros que "declara situação de calamidade pública, decorrente dos incêndios verificados desde 20 de Julho de 2003" apenas foi tomada a 4 de Agosto. Duas semanas depois é ou não laxismo?

Portugal no seu melhor:
Youngsters dunked to drive out the devil: Sao Bartolomeu do Mar -Portuguese children shrieked and wailed as they were dunked in the sea as part of a 300-year-old ritual that some believe purges them of fears and afflictions blamed on the devil.
More than 30 000 people, mainly from Portugal's northern interior, packed Sao Bartolomeu do Mar's beach at the weekend - many just enjoying a picnic, along with a rare spectacle, or giving their children a dip in the chilly Atlantic in the belief that it's healthy.
But hundreds of true believers also came out on the feast of St Bartholomew, harbouring hopes that the patron saint of children and stutterers would in fact help their youngsters.
Portugal offers access to Latam, Africa: Portugal has offered Indian companies access to Latin American and African markets through its economy.
Dr Joaquim Ferreira Marques, ambassador of Portugal in India, said: “Due to a strong economic presence in South American countries like Brazil and Argentina and African countries like Angola and Mozambique, Portugal can offer, through Portuguese companies in those regions, avenues to Indian companies who want to expand their business in economic areas, especially in the IT, communication, distribution and tourism sector.”

the first cyborg rights activist
Q: Do people think you're rudely doing something else when viewing the world through your goggles - reading e-mail, catching up on the news?
A: I suppose it's a variety of things. The first people who wore clothing were seen as weird in that they had a pseudo-skin. Such attitudes will continue until these new inventions become widespread and widely in use. It's sort of like telephones. At first, people thought it was terrible that this machine is speaking to them. You can imagine someone saying, "Do you prefer talking to people or talking to machines?"

During the second quarter of 2003, Walt Disney Co. attracted more media attention than any other of the top corporations in America [...] Other venerable consumer brands including Coca-Cola, General Motors and McDonald's also rank near the top.

A device that shuts off your TV? How scary is that? Something called Time-Scout Monitor came on the market. This thing monitors how much TV your kid watches, and once the time you've set runs out, bzzzt, the TV snaps off.

Science as Democratizer: Does the pursuit of pure science make sense in a world of scarcity and strife? With so much poverty on the planet, why spend vast sums of money on, say, the James Webb Space Telescope, due to replace the Hubble at the end of the decade and observe the first stars and galaxies in the universe; or the Terrestrial Planet Finder, whose mission is to detect other habitable worlds - discoveries that, however astounding, can bring no tangible benefits here on this barely habitable world called Earth? [...]
The scientific spirit is common to all peoples; it crosses cultures and bonds diverse elements of society, communicating an appreciation of the beauty as well as the benefits of new discoveries, the breathtaking complexity of our vast universe. Science opens the mind. Such are the intangible benefits of the Webb and Hubble telescopes and their like.
Come the revolution: Only in a few countries could a philosopher of science be seen as an enemy of the state. Abdolkarim Soroush, one of Iran's best-known intellectuals, argues that science cannot progress under totalitarian regimes. His greatest "crime" is to suggest that this is a legitimate Islamic view. After six years in exile, Soroush bravely returned to Iran

Entre blogs e jornais, venha Diabo ou Deus e escolha:
Porquê a "notícia" a 30 de Agosto de que os Portugueses não lêem e ouvem menos rádio que a UE? A base, um estudo publicado em Maio e divulgado em Julho, é idêntica à publicada em 18 de Agosto com o título "Portugueses Vêem Mais Novelas e Séries e Lêem Menos Jornais".
Será porque o Abrupto se referiu a esse estudo a 28 de Agosto (e A Esquina do Rio (re)citou), referindo que tinha sido "divulgado ontem"?
E porque diz o mesmo Abrupto que "foi realizado no Parlamento Europeu" quando o estudo foi "on request of the European Commission, Directorate-General Press and Communication, Opinion Polls"? Bastava ler as "Technical specifications"...
E porque nunca se refere que os dados foram recolhidos com base na população que, para Portugal, aponta para pouco mais de 8 milhões quando a nossa população estabilizou há vários anos nos 10 milhões? Aponto isto porque "In each EU country, a member of sampling points was drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density"?
