Esta quinta-feira, dia 24 de março, com a presença do presidente da Câmara Municipal, Mário Passos, decorre mais uma gala descentralizada para a entrega dos troféus, desta feita, aos campeões de Gavião e Antas
Em Gavião, a cerimónia está marcada para as 18h30, e em Antas às 19h45. Ambas decorrem nas respetivas sedes destas autarquias, sendo homenageados 7 atletas de cada localidade.
Recorde-se que a primeira cerimónia de entrega dos galardões “Famalicenses D’Ouro” decorreu na passada quinta-feira, com a homenagem aos atletas da União de Freguesias de Calendário e Vila Nova de Famalicão.
Tal como no ano passado, a entrega dos galardões está a decorrer de forma descentralizada e ao todo serão homenageados 84 atletas e instituições de 13 modalidades, num total de 11 sessões espalhadas por várias freguesias do concelho.
A operação de fiscalização da PSP decorre entre quinta-feira e domingo.
A PSP realiza entre quinta-feira e domingo a operação de fiscalização rodoviária “Risco Mínimo” direcionada ao controlo do excesso de velocidade no continente e à condução sob o efeito do álcool nas Regiões Autónomas da Madeira e Açores.
Em comunicado, a Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) lembra que entre 01 de janeiro e 15 de março deste ano, segundo dados provisórios, foram registados 9.716 acidentes, mais 2.941 do que em igual período do ano passado, correspondendo a um aumento de 43,4%.
Entre aquelas datas foram registadas 12 vítimas mortais, menos duas do que no período homólogo.
Quanto aos acidentes com vítimas, a PSP contabilizou um aumento de 45,5% do número de acidentes, em comparação com o período homólogo do ano transato, tendo o número de feridos ligeiros sofrido um aumento significativo (+904).
A PSP adianta ainda que no mesmo período foram registados 5.059 acidentes só com danos, ao passo que no período homólogo foram registados 7.220, um aumento de 42,7%.
Na nota, a PSP sublinha que “continuará a fiscalizar os comportamentos de risco dos condutores, principalmente as condutas que têm elevada prevalência e maior impacto na sinistralidade rodoviária, nomeadamente, excesso de velocidade, condução sob o efeito do álcool, uso indevido do telemóvel e a não utilização (ou utilização incorreta) dos cintos de segurança e sistemas de retenção”.
A polícia apela ainda a todos os condutores que respeitem as regras do Código da Estrada e legislação em vigor e que não adotem comportamentos de risco durante a condução.
Armindo Castro penhorou o Estado para receber a indemnização de 62 mil euros, confirmada pelo Supremo Tribunal de Justiça e que o Estado ainda não pagou. Isto a propósito dos 914 dias em que esteve preso, julgado e condenado pelo homicídio da tia, em Joane, mas que veio-se a provar que não foi ele o autor do crime.
Ao Jornal de Notícias, o advogado de Armindo Castro confirma que foi instaurado um processo de execução contra o Estado para penhora de bens, lamenta também que ainda não tenha sido feito um pedido de desculpas ao seu cliente por «este clamoroso erro judiciário».
Em janeiro deste ano, o Tribunal da Relação confirmava a decisão da primeira instância relativa à indemnização, ou seja, 12.035 euros por danos patrimoniais e 50 mil euros por danos não patrimoniais. Por estes últimos, Armindo Castro pedia meio milhão de euros. A Relação afirmou que o homem «contribuiu de forma relevante para a aplicação da prisão preventiva», na medida em que confessou os factos perante órgão de polícia criminal e colaborou de forma ativa na reconstituição».
Recorde-se que o processo remonta a março de 2012. Em novembro de 2013, o Tribunal de Famalicão condenou o sobrinho da vítima, Armindo Castro, a 20 anos de prisão, pela autoria do homicídio. Durante o segundo julgamento, Armindo Castro explicou que, quando foi detido pela PJ, aceitou fazer a reconstituição do crime por se sentir “ameaçado” e por temer que a mãe, também presente nas instalações da Judiciária do Porto, ficasse detida.
Posteriormente, a Relação tinha baixado a pena para 12 anos, imputando ao arguido o crime de ofensas à integridade física qualificadas, agravadas pelo resultado morte.
Porém, em dezembro de 2014, Armindo Castro foi libertado, depois de um outro homem ter confessado a autoria do homicídio da idosa em Joane, que na altura era sua vizinha.
Armindo Castro foi novamente julgado e acabou por ser absolvido, em janeiro de 2018.
A tradicional Comunhão Pascal da Associação Humanitária de Bombeiros Voluntários Famalicenses realiza-se a 3 de abril, com eucaristia na antiga Matriz.
O programa contempla, às 8h15, o hastear de bandeiras; trinta minutos depois decorre a eucaristia e, às 10h30, no quartel, a receção aos convidados.
Segue-se, às 11 horas, a sessão solene, com entrega de condecorações. No final, decorre o almoço no quartel Aníbal Alves de Oliveira.
Joaquim Barbosa Ferreira Couto, conhecido como Joaquim Couto, é licenciado em Medicina pela Universidade do Porto-S. João, trabalhou mais de sete anos no Hospital Geral de Stº António, hoje Centro Hospitalar e Universitário do Porto, e está aposentado como médico do SNS.
Entretanto, o clínico tirou um master em medicina natural pela Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (Espanha). Deste modo, formado em medicina convencional e medicina natural, conhece melhor o corpo humano e está apto a exercer a medicina que promove a saúde.
Exerce na MedRibeiro: Rua 25 de Abril – 4825-010 Santo Tirso, 910 446 777; e na Cliave: Av. 25 de Abril – 4760-101 Vila Nova de Famalicão, 252 330 860.
Nas suas palavras, Joaquim Couto dá a conhecer o que é a medicina natural: «Não é fácil abordar de modo simples a medicina natural, tratando-se apenas de uma abordagem da medicina mais no sentido de promover a saúde do que curar a doença. A medicina curativa deu um passo de gigante, sobretudo no século passado, embora as descobertas científicas anteriores tenham pressionado esses avanços, assim como a medicina de diagnóstico precoce. Já a medicina preventiva, no sentido de evitar a doença, só nas últimas décadas deu passos significativos. A razão é evidente. A medicina natural, como medicina não convencional, só foi legalizada em Portugal já depois da primeira década do século XXI! Estão assim legalizadas, para além da naturopatia, a acupuntura, a hidrologia, a homeopatia, a osteopatia, e quiroprática e o shiatsu, que de acordo com a lei devem percorrer os mesmos passos académicos da licenciatura em medicina convencional, organizando-se os seus profissionais, em tempo posterior também de acordo com a lei em vigor, em ordens profissionais».
«A medicina natural aborda assim formas de prevenir a doença, que é maioritariamente crônica e evitável. Também obviamente aborda e trata a doença crônica instalada», sublinha o clínico Joaquim Couto.
«Mas a medicina natural não se fica pela fisioterapia ou hidrologia. As recentes descobertas de investigadores como António Damásio e David Servan-Schreiber recolocaram em discussão as funções do neocórtex e a zona central do cérebro límbico como grandes responsáveis da nossa saúde física e mental. Com estas novas abordagens ganhou força a medicina tradicional chinesa que considera há milhares de anos o corpo, a mente e o espírito como uma unidade inserida no espaço e no tempo, que a filosofia taoísta aprofundou e fundamentou. Esta é uma abordagem cósmica, onde a gravidade, as fases da Lua, a noite e o dia, são influenciadores do nosso estado de saúde, e onde é possível intervir precocemente desde que nascemos», escreve Joaquim Couto.
Resumindo, «a moderna medicina ocidental permite complementar as observações sociológicas da medicina natural através da bioquímica, medicina nuclear e outras técnicas, permitindo uma simbiose sinérgica com todas as técnicas de promoção da saúde e terapias adequadas, aquando da doença instalada. Mesmo assim há um conjunto enorme de enfermidades que não cabem na medicina natural e como tal não devem ser criadas falsas expectativas à comunidade em geral. Aqui também no meio estará a virtude: saúde física e mental; alimentação racional; equilíbrio emocional».

Store and/or access information on a device (397 seeking consent)
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Use limited data to select advertising (278 seeking consent, 96 using legitimate interest)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Create profiles for personalised advertising (293 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Use profiles to select personalised advertising (299 seeking consent)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Create profiles to personalise content (114 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Use profiles to select personalised content (107 seeking consent)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Measure advertising performance (301 seeking consent, 131 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Measure content performance (139 seeking consent, 55 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources (199 seeking consent, 67 using legitimate interest)
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Develop and improve services (200 seeking consent, 107 using legitimate interest)
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Use limited data to select content (62 seeking consent, 22 using legitimate interest)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
