Another one bites the dust (Queen)
Declarou ao Parlamento uma morada a 285 km e recebeu abonos muito mais elevados. “São João da Madeira era o centro da minha vida pessoal, familiar, social e política”, justifica à SÁBADO. Mas assume que era em Lisboa que morava durante os trabalhos parlamentares. Em média, recebeu €1.800 por mês só em abonos durante nove anos. Outros deputados foram investigados pelo MP, mas acabou tudo arquivado.

Na quarta-feira, 24 de janeiro, o presidente da Sociedade de História e Genealogia Balanta B’urassa na América, Siphiwe Baleka, participou na conferência de imprensa do Coletivo NÔ RAIZ para expressar solidariedade em nome dos cerca de 30.000 descendentes Balanta nos Estados Unidos.
“Aplaudimos a forte posição do Coletivo contra a supremacia religiosa, a limpeza religiosa e o terrorismo que está sendo levado a cabo contra o povo Balanta na aldeia de Tinka. Isto equivale a terrorismo e é uma violação dos direitos humanos e do direito internacional. A Sociedade Balanta na América está ao seu lado na oposição a este mal e usaremos as nossas redes para atrair a atenção internacional”, disse.
Estaremos a assistir à islamização da Guiné-Bissau? Mohamed Gomes, a Fundação Dhawa Barriga do Povo e o Presidente Embaló fazem parte de algum complô? De acordo com uma entrevista de 10 de dezembro de 2022 à Ajuda à Igreja que Sofre (AIS), Casimiro Cajucam alertou sobre o facto.
"HÁ O RISCO DE A GUINÉ-BISSAU CAIR NAS GARRAS DO EXTREMISMO RELIGIOSO. HÁ PESSOAS NAS ALDEIAS, CRISTÃOS E NÃO-CRISTÃOS, QUE SÃO FINANCIADOS PARA SE CONVERTEREM AO ISLÃ. ESTAMOS ENFRENTANDO ESSA AMEAÇA", DIZ CASIMIRO CAJUCAM...'HÁ POLÍTICOS QUE ESTÃO TENTANDO DE TUDO PARA TRANSFORMAR A GUINÉ-BISSAU, TIRÁ-LA DE UM ESTADO SECULAR PARA COLOCÁ-LA COMO ESTADO ISLÂMICO. EXISTE ESSA TENDÊNCIA E ISSO É UMA AMEAÇA."
O Diretor da rádio Sol Mansi fala de um 'ensaio' para um ataque terrorista quando se refere aos incidentes na igreja de Gabu (2022), acrescentando: "O que aconteceu na paróquia de Gabu, para muitos, é o primeiro ensaio para um ataque terrorista. Isso nunca aconteceu antes.

Eating up to three daily servings of the Korean classic, kimchi, may lower men's overall risk of obesity, while radish kimchi is linked to a lower prevalence of midriff bulge in both sexes, finds research published in the open access journal BMJ Open.
Kimchi is made by salting and fermenting vegetables with various flavorings and seasonings, such as onion, garlic, and fish sauce. Cabbage and radish are usually the main vegetables used in kimchi, which contains few calories and is rich in dietary fiber, microbiome-enhancing lactic acid bacteria, vitamins, and polyphenols.
Previously published experimental studies have shown that Lactobacillus brevis and L. plantarum isolated from kimchi had an anti-obesity effect. And the researchers wanted to know if regular consumption might be associated with a reduction in the risk of overall and/or abdominal obesity, which is considered to be particularly harmful to health.
They drew on data from 115,726 participants (36,756 men; 78,970 women; average age 51) taking part in the Health Examinees (HEXA) study. HEXA is a large, community-based long-term study of the larger Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, designed to examine environmental and genetic risk factors for common long-term conditions among Korean adults over the age of 40.
Dietary intake for the previous year was assessed using a validated 106-item food frequency questionnaire for which participants were asked to state how often they ate a serving of each foodstuff, from never or seldom, up to three times a day.
Total kimchi included baechu (cabbage kimchi); kkakdugi (radish kimchi); nabak and dongchimi (watery kimchi); and others, such as mustard greens kimchi. A portion of baechu or kkahdugi kimchi is 50 g, while a portion of nabak or dongchimi kimchi is 95 g.

Health care providers are learning critical new information to help improve care for patients with long COVID, thanks to a pair of recent studies out of the Post-COVID-19 Program at UT Health Austin, the clinical practice of Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin. Over the past several months, UT researchers have edged closer to defining the pattern of symptoms it generates and how it affects patients, as well as developing methods to differentiate patients suffering from long COVID versus other conditions.
While consensus around the clinical definition is evolving, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines long COVID as symptoms and conditions of COVID-19 that linger for weeks, months or even years after a person's initial infection. Even people who had no symptoms when they were infected can develop symptoms later.
"These research efforts are instrumental for both clinicians and health systems in grasping the complexities of long COVID, and as part of providing the highest possible care for patients," said W. Michael Brode, M.D., medical director of the Post-COVID-19 Program.
Brode highlighted that long COVID, which occurs in approximately 10% of COVID-19 cases, remains a challenge.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health observed rapid and distinct immune system changes in a small study of people who switched to a vegan or a ketogenic (also called keto) diet. Scientists closely monitored various biological responses of people sequentially eating vegan and keto diets for two weeks, in random order.
They found that the vegan diet prompted responses linked to innate immunity—the body's non-specific first line of defense against pathogens—while the keto diet prompted responses associated with adaptive immunity—pathogen-specific immunity built through exposures in daily life and vaccination.

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
