| Ao ler hoje esta notícia na imprensa espanhola, assaltou-me uma simples questão: porque terá sido necessária esta viagem de um especialista espanhol, a um país que se vangloria de ter uns serviços de saúde de excelência? Madrid. (EUROPA PRESS) .- El consejero de Sanidad de la Comunidad de Madrid, Manuel Lamela, confirmó hoy que el jefe de cirugía del Hospital Público Gregorio Marañón, José Luis García Sabrido, se desplazó el pasado jueves a La Habana (Cuba) para valorar el estado de salud de Fidel Castro y estudiar la pertinencia de realizarle una intervención. Además, el representante madrileño explicó, en declaraciones a RNE recogidas por Europa Press, que, desde el pasado mes de junio, los servicios sanitarios de la Comunidad de Madrid han enviado diversos medicamentos a petición del Gobierno de Cuba, a través de su Embajada. Según confirmó el responsable de la Sanidad madrileña, el Ejecutivo regional seguirá "dando el apoyo, los medicamentos y la asistencia que el Gobierno cubano pueda demandar en cada momento", ya que, recordó Lamela, "el auxilio en materia sanitaria es una obligación internacional". El consejero de Sanidad de la Comunidad de Madrid hizo estas declaraciones a la prensa en su visita al Hospital Niño Jesús de Madrid, en compañía de la presidenta de la Comunidad, Esperanza Aguirre, para felicitar la Navidad al personal de guardia del centro y para transmitir su ánimo a los menores ingresados en fechas navideñas. |
So what is Boxing Day all about?....
Boxing Day originated in England in the middle of the nineteenth century under Queen Victoria. December 26th, or Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other Commonwealth countries. It is spent with family and friends at open gatherings with lots of food, fun, friendship and love. Boxing Day is so called because it was the custom on that day for tradesmen to collect their Christmas boxes or gifts in return for good and reliable service throughout the year. Boxing Day is also St. Stephen's Day. St Stephen was a little known saint who achieved eternal fame by being the first Christian to be martyred for his faith by being stoned to death shortly after Christ's crucifixion.The traditional celebration of Boxing Day included giving money and other gifts to charitable institutions, needy individuals, and people in service jobs. The holiday may date from the Middle Ages (A.D. 400's--1500's), but the exact origin is unknown. It may have begun with the lords and ladies of England, who presented Christmas gifts in boxes to their servants on December 26. Or it may have begun with priests, who opened the church's alms (charity) boxes on the day after Christmas and distributed the contents to the poor.Some say the tradition stems from Roman times when money to pay for athletic games was collected in boxes. Amongst the ruins of Pompeii, boxes made out of earthenware with slits in the top full of coins have been found. Later the Romans brought the idea of collecting boxes to Britain, and monks and clergy soon used similar boxes to collect money for the poor at Christmas. On the day after Christmas, the priests used to open the boxes and distribute the contents to the poor of the village. Thus this day came to be called Boxing Day.While government buildings and small businesses are closed, the malls are filled with people either exchanging gifts or buying reduced priced Christmas gifts, cards, and decorations. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing day is classed as the Christmas Season with Boxing day falling on the following Monday if December 26th falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

He is about to leave when the girl, who happens to be a gorgeous redhead, says in a sexy voice, "Oh Santa, please stay. Keep the chill away." Santa replies, "HO HO HO, Gotta go, gotta go.

| O Eurostat confirmou ontem o contínuo empobrecimento relativo de Portugal que se vem verificando desde 1999, cujo PIB nos últimos anos caiu 10% em relação à média europeia. E, segundo o mesmo organismo a tendência de descida continuará nos próximos anos. Estes números são uma vergonha para todos e cada um de nós portugueses, mas principalmente para a Gloriosa Classe de Iluminados que nos (des) governa e que década após década vem conduzindo o país - que não eles - à ruína e ao descalabro. Mas Vergonha é sentimento desconhecido para os políticos. Assim, salve-se quem puder. |
Era uma vez um menino, de dez anos de idade que estava a ver a festival da eurovisão. Foi quando apareceu esta cantora de voz doce com a sua Poupée de Cire Popupée de Son. Esse menino ficou siderado, fulminado por uma paixão platónica que não o largou por alguns meses. Quanto à música, ganhou o festival.
Passeando pela internet deparei com esta actividade no campo dos serviços que seguramente deverá ser uma boa oportunidade de negócio. Aproveitei mais uma vez para dar Graças a Deus por ser ateu. |
