‘Gender-Equal Snow Ploughing’ Plunges Stockholm into Chaos

Politicians in Stockholm said the policy of “gender-equal” snow removal has failed after the weather brought Sweden’s capital to a standstill last week, with hospitals reporting a fourfold increase in broken bones.

The city switched to a “feminist” system of clearing snow last winter but last week’s burst of snow, which threw the city into chaos, has cast doubt on its effectiveness.

Hundreds of thousands of people were affected, with the majority of bus routes put out of service and commuters having to wait in queues for several hours.

Previously, fresh snowfalls were cleared first from main roads and by areas like construction sites before being removed from pavements and cycle lanes. As men are more likely to drive and women more likely to travel on foot, more women slipped on the ice which led to complaints that the system was sexist.

Vice-mayor of Stockholm, the Green Party’s Daniel Helldén, admitted that “equality snow removal” had failed the city, and apologised to residents who had injured themselves as a result.

When the Red-Green coalition, comprising politicians from the Social Democratic Party, Green Party, Left Party, and Feminist Initiative, were elected to City Hall in 2014 the introduction of a “feminist” snow clearance was high on the agenda.

 

But police last week said the system is so bad, with ambulances unable to make their way along Stockholm’s roads, it posed a danger to society. Officer Fredrik Ståhle branded the conditions for drivers in the city “deplorable”.

Opposition vice-mayor Cecilia Brinck called the concept of “gender-equal” snow removal “a little silly”. The Moderate party politician said despite the promise that feminist snow-clearing would make life better for women, its implementation made the weather “bad for everyone”.

Per Ossmer and Martin Westmont from the Sweden Democrats said that the city’s snow clearance plan should not be “characterised by a feminist perspective”.

Speaking for the populist party in a piece for Stockholm Direkt, the pair advised that politicians prioritise delivering an effective transport system over investing “considerable resources” in “gender certifying” various services.

Estás enganado Rev, Tal e qual como cá

Se bem me recordo uma faixa da a41  aluiu no início de fevereiro, esteve fechada totalmente até maio, altura em que abriram uma faixa em cada sentido e em agosto lá abriram totalmente

Viste bem o tempo que demorou a reparar a A41? Não foi 1 semana como no Japão nem lá perto.

Mas também fazemos isso numa semana sem problemas. Quem paga tem é de pagar por isso.

E não vamos comparar qualquer outro país no mundo ao Japão em engenharia. Anos luz.

btw, passei na A41 pouco antes daquilo aluir. :unsure:

Uma das principais diferenças é que no Japão não vês corrupção. Têm que fazer, é feito.

Aqui podes ter a certeza que iam ver a quem adjudicar a obra, e depois se aceitares aquela, pagam por trás uma percentagem, bla bla... O normal.

Blood from human teens rejuvenates body and brains of old mice

 

The power to turn back time

Blood plasma from young people has been found to rejuvenate old mice, improving their memory, cognition, and physical activity. The method has the potential to be developed into a treatment for people, says Sakura Minami ofAlkahest, the company behind the work.

Previous research has found that stitching old and young mice together has an interesting effect. While sharing a blood system works out well for the older mouse, the younger one isn’t so lucky. The young animals started to show signs of brain ageing, while the brains of the older mice started to look younger. “We see a rejuvenation effect,” says Minami.

The key to youth appears to be in the blood plasma – the liquid part of blood. Several studies have found that injecting plasma from young mice into old mice can help rejuvenate the brain and other organs, including the liver, heart, and muscle.

Could blood plasma from young people have the same benefits? To find out, Minami and her colleagues took blood samples from 18-year-olds, and injected them into 12-month-old mice. At this age, the equivalent of around age 50 for people, the mice start to show signs of ageing – they move more slowly, and perform badly on memory tests.

The mice were given twice-weekly injections of the human plasma. After three weeks of injections, they were submitted to a range of tests. The treated mice’s performance was compared to young, 3-month-old mice, as well as old mice who had not received injections.

New neurons

They found that human plasma does have the power to rejuvenate. Treated mice ran around an open space like young mice. Their memories also seemed to improve, and they were much better at remembering their way around a maze than untreated mice.

“Young human plasma improves cognition,” says Minami, who presented her findings at the Society for Neuroscienceannual meeting in San Diego, California, on Monday. “Their memory was preserved.”

“It’s more or less what we would expect,” says Victoria Bolotina, at Boston University in Massachusetts. “The blood of young people must have something in it that’s important for keeping them young,” she says.

The team then examined the brains of the treated and untreated mice. They looked for clues on the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus – a process called neurogenesis, which is thought to be important for memory and learning. Sure enough, the treated mice appeared to have created more new cells in their brain. “Young human plasma treatment can increase neurogenesis,” says Minami.

Minami says she has identified some factors in young blood that might be responsible for these benefits, but that she won’t reveal what they are yet. Some of them seem to be crossing into the brain, while others may be acting remotely, elsewhere in the body, she says.

She hopes to one day translate the findings into an anti-ageing treatment for people – one that might help those who start to experience the effects of an ageing brain. “There’s anecdotal evidence that people experience benefits after blood transfusions,” she says.

The company she works for, Alkahest, has already started a trial of young blood in people with Alzheimer’s disease.

A Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa está a averiguar um alegado "sistema fraudulento de raspadinhas" que foi alvo de notícia, por declarações feitas por Carla Silva, concorrente de "Casa dos Segredos 6".

O Departamento de Jogos da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa (SCML) deu início "a um processo de averiguação" de um alegado "sistema fraudulento de raspadinhas" que tem sido noticiado em alguns órgãos de comunicação, na sequência de declarações feitas por Carla Silva, uma das concorrentes de Casa dos Segredos 6, dentro do reality show da TVI apresentado por Teresa Guilherme.

A participante açoriana, que trabalha numa tabacaria no aeroporto de São Miguel, falou aos colegas de casa sobre o cunhado, que tem por hábito comprar "blocos inteiros de raspadinhas" no seu local de trabalho. "Por exemplo, eu vendo-lhe um bloco e naquele bloco, ele só raspou 10, sai-lhe 500 euros. Eu devolvo o bloco, levo-o para dentro, estás a ver? Depois vendo aquele bloco, já sei que não tem nada, já saiu o maior prémio. Estás a ver as facilidades que a gente faz lá?", disse a concorrente, acrescentando que o cunhado já ganhou, por duas vezes, mil euros nas raspadinhas, e 500 euros em outras duas ocasiões.

Numa declaração enviada ao nosso jornal, a Santa Casa frisa ser "totalmente alheia aos factos relatados na respetiva notícia, reportando os mesmos a uma situação, eventualmente, ocorrida num mediador dos jogos sociais do Estado", o qual está a ser "averiguado" de momento.

No mesmo documento, a instituição esclarece que não existe apenas um prémio em cada maço de raspadinhas. "Contrariamente ao que é referido, os prémios da Raspadinha são distribuídos de forma aleatória pela emissão total dos jogos, de acordo com um plano de prémios previamente definido, disponível para consulta no verso de cada bilhete de jogo, desconhecendo a SCML em que maços se encontram os mesmos", remata a Santa Casa da Misericórdia.

Isto falou-se aqui?

Forte idiota. Além da fraude não tem noção que está a ser filmada??

Realmente escolhem a dedo para entrarem nesses programas.
