FUTEBOL - THAI PREMIER LEAGUE

PRIMEIRA LIGA TAILANDESA

Os tailandeses são uns apaixonados pelo futebol, e os canis de televisão passam os jogos da liga inglesa, italina, alemã, espanhola e portuguesa, mas é o futebol inglês de quem mais gostam de ver.

Por sua vez o país aposta forte no futebol, e a Primeira Liga é sempre super disputada, tendo este ano a equipa do Muang Thong reforçado a equipa e contratando um treinador à altura, o português Henrique Calisto.

Como ex-treinador de futebol, sempre vou acompanhando os jogos da liga Sages e da Premier inglesa, porém, na Tailândia nunca entrei num recinto desportivo.

História

Antes da criação da Thai Premier League, o mais alto nível de futebol era a Kor Royal Cup (Thai: ถ้วย ก.) cujo formato e disputa vigoraram durante os anos de 1916 a 1995. A Thai Premier League é ainda recente, ela foi introduzida em 1996 pela Associaçáo de Futebol da Tailândia (FAT), com 18 clubes que competiam na Kor Royal Cup.

A Thai Premier league até ao ano de 2007 era formada por 10 a 12 clubes, passando depois a participar 16 clubes. Os três clubes que ficarem no fim da tabela descem de divisão e irão disputar Thai Division 1 League.

Igualmente em 2007, a Primeira Liga Tailandesa se completava com a Liga Províncial. Chonburi foi o primeiro clube da Liga Provincial a tornar-se campeão da Primeira Liga Tailandesa no ano de 2007.

Escola Popular Túlio Espanca de Alandroal comemorou “Dia Mundial do Teatro”

Domingo, 03 Abril 2011 00:00

Jornal Diário do Sul - Évora

Uma visita guiada ao Teatro Garcia de Resende, em Évora, para conhecer as instalações e também alguns dos actores do CENDREV.

Foi assim que o grupo de teatro do Pólo de Alandroal da Universidade Sénior/Escola Popular Túlio Espanca comemorou o Dia Mundial do Teatro, no passado Domingo dia 27 de Março.

Num ambiente descontraído, os actores do CENDREV foram explicando aos visitantes os vários aspectos relacionados com o Teatro Garcia de Resende e com a própria companhia, ao mesmo tempo que representavam uma peça encenada propositadamente para este dia.

O grupo de teatro do Pólo de Alandroal da Escola Popular Túlio Espanca mostrou-se bastante satisfeito com a visita, garantindo que recolheram algumas ideias novas para os seus ensaios e para a peça que prevêem estrear dentro de alguns meses.

De referir que, além de servir para comemo-rar o Dia Mundial do teatro, a visita ao teatro Garcia de Resende fez parte do plano de actividades do grupo de teatro do Pólo de Alandroal da Escola Popular Túlio Espanca.

De referir que o Teatro Garcia de Resende foi inaugurado em 1892 e é um dos mais antigos e importantes teatros municipais do país. A sua construção resultou da iniciativa de cidadãos eborenses, que constituíram a sociedade “Companhia Eborense Fundadora do Teatro Garcia de Resende”.

Após o término da sua construção o teatro foi doado ao Município de Évora, em 1890.

O articulista conhece perfeitamente este belo teatro, visto que na sua juventude era frequentador habitual dos filmes que lá passavam, bem como das revsitas.

Algumas vezes, não tendo dinheiro para adquirir o bilhete de entrada, ia para os bastidores tomar conta dos holofotes e foi assim que um dia numa revista fiquei a conhecer pessoalmente o grande artita Camilo de Oliveira, entre outros.

Foi igualmente no Teatro Garcia de Resende que o articulista assitiu ao filme os 10 Mandamentos, Ben Hur, entre outros.

Velhas e belas recordações desse magnifico e requintado teatro.

O jardim que se situa defronte do teatro, já não é aquele que o articulista conheceu na sua mocidade, hoje apresenta-se mais belo, mas o nome esse é o mesmo JARDIM DAS CANAS.

SONGKRAN - ANO NOVO TAILANDÊS

Songkran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Year celebration, Rodnam Damhua, a traditional way to celebrate with elders. Most Thai people go back to their hometowns to meet their elders.

The Songkran festival (Thai: สงกรานต์, from Sanskrit saṃkrānti, "astrological passage") is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year's Day from 13 to 15 April. It coincides with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia.

The date of the festival was originally set by astrological calculation, but it is now fixed. If these days fall on a weekend, the missed days off are taken on the weekdays immediately following. If they fall in the middle of the week, many Thai take off from the previous Friday until the following Monday.

Songkran falls in the hottest time of the year in Thailand, at the end of the dry season. Until 1888 the Thai New Year was the beginning of the year in Thailand; thereafter 1 April was used until 1940. 1 January is now the beginning of the year. The traditional Thai New Year has been a national holiday since then.

Songkran has traditionally been celebrated as the New Year for many centuries, and is believed to have been adapted from an Indian festival. It is now observed nationwide, even in the far south. However, the most famous Songkran celebrations are still in the northern city of Chiang Mai, where it continues for six days and even longer. It has also become a party for foreigners and an additional reason for many to visit Thailand for immersion in another culture.

New year traditions

Songkran at Wat Thai in Los Angeles

Water throwing along the western moat of Chiang Mai, Thailand

The most obvious celebration of Songkran is the throwing of water. Thais roam the streets with containers of water or water guns (sometimes mixed with mentholated talc), or post themselves at the side of roads with a garden hose and drench each other and passersby. This, however, was not always the main activity of this festival. Songkran was traditionally a time to visit and pay respects to elders, including family members, friends and neighbors.

Besides the throwing of water, people celebrating Songkran may also go to a wat (Buddhist monastery) to pray and give food to monks. They may also cleanse Buddha images from household shrines as well as Buddha images at monasteries by gently pouring water mixed with a Thai fragrance (Thai: น้ำอบไทย) over them. It is believed that doing this will bring good luck and prosperity for the New Year.

In many cities, such as Chiang Mai, the Buddha images from all of the city's important monasteries are paraded through the streets so that people can toss water at them, ritually 'bathing' the images, as they pass by on ornately decorated floats.

In northern Thailand, people may carry handfuls of sand to their neighborhood monastery in order to recompense the dirt that they have carried away on their feet during the rest of the year. The sand is then sculpted into stupa-shaped piles and decorated with colorful flags.

Some people make New Year resolutions - to refrain from bad behavior, or to do good things. Songkran is a time for cleaning and renewal. Besides washing household Buddha images, many Thais also take this opportunity to give their home a thorough cleaning.

The use of chalk (Thai: ดินสอพอง) is also very common having originated in the chalk used by monks to mark blessings.

The throwing of water originated as a way to pay respect to people, by capturing the water after it had been poured over the Buddhas for cleansing and then using this "blessed" water to give good fortune to elders and family by gently pouring it on the shoulder.

Among young people the holiday evolved to include dousing strangers with water to relieve the heat, since April is the hottest month in Thailand (temperatures can rise to over 100°F or 40°C on some days). This has further evolved into water fights and splashing water over people riding in vehicles.

Nowadays, the emphasis is on fun and water-throwing rather than on the festival's spiritual and religious aspects, which sometimes prompts complaints from traditionalists. In recent years there have been calls to moderate the festival to lessen the many alcohol-related road accidents as well as injuries attributed to extreme behavior such as water being thrown in the faces of traveling motorcyclists.

The water is meant as a symbol of washing all of the bad away and is sometimes filled with fragrant herbs when celebrated in the traditional manner.

Songkran is also celebrated in many places with a pageant in which young women demonstrate their beauty and unique talents, as judged by the audience. The level of financial support usually determines the winner, since, to show your support you must purchase necklaces which you place on your chosen girl.

Astrological calculation

Although the traditional calendar of Thailand like most of Southeast Asia utilizes a lunisolar calendar, the date of the new year was calculated on a purely solar basis. The term Songkran comes from Sanskrit "Sankranta" and means "a move or change" - in this case the move of the sun into the Aries zodiac. Originally this happened at the vernal equinox, but, as the Thai astrology did not observe precession, the date moved from March to April.

There is a similar named Indian Festival called as Sankrant or Makar Sankranti, celebrated on 14 January every year. Songkran as such has similarity to Indian festival of Holi.

The traditional new year celebration in Sri Lanka also coincides with the Thai new year.

Greetings

Monks receiving blessing at a temple in Ban Khung Taphao

The traditional greeting is "สวัสดีปีใหม่" (sa-wat-di pi mai), basically "Happy New Year". Sawatdi is also used for "hello" or "goodbye". Pi and mai means "year" and "new" respectively in Thai. Another greeting used is "สุขสันต์วันปีใหม่" (suk-san wan pi mai), where suksan means "happy".

However, most people use "สุขสันต์วันสงกรานต์" (suk-san wan songkran) — meaning "Happy Songkran Day" — since pi mai is more often linked with the first of January. Suksan is also used as an attribute for other days such as Valentine's Day ("สุขสันต์วันแห่งความรัก" suk-san wan haeng khwam rak; Happy Valentine's Day).

In other calendars

Songkran is also celebrated in Laos (called pee mai lao), Cambodia (called Chaul Chnam Thmey, Cambodian New Year), Myanmar (called Thingyan), and by the Dai people in Yunnan, China (called Water-Splashing Festival). The same day is celebrated in South Asian calendars as well: the Assamese (called Rongali Bihu), Bengali (called Pohela Boishakh), Oriya (called Maha Visuba Sankranthi), Malayali, Punjabi, Sinhalese, and Tamil New Years fall on the same dates, based on the astrological event of the sun beginning its northward journey.

And, as mentioned above, there is an Indian Festival called as Sankrant or Makar Sankranti in Marathi, celebrated every year on 14 January. Songkran as such is similar to the Indian festival of Holi, with a lot of splashing of water as paints, colored dusts, and fragances.

The traditional new year celebration in Sri Lanka also coincides with the Thai new year.

In Nepal, the official new year is celebrated on the 1st of Baisakh (Baisākh) according to astrological calendar Vikram Samwat and day often falls somewhere between 12-15 April.

It occurs at the same time as that given by Bede for festivals of Eostre—and Easter weekend occasionally coincides with Songkran (most recently 1979, 1990, and 2001, but not again until 2085).

As pessoas assim se divertem, mas é uma estupidez de todo o tamanho.

Bebedeiras, falta de respeito, péssima condução, dão origem a que as mortes na estradas sejam elevadissímo, enfim!... This is Thailand

361 killed on the roads during Songkran 2010

3,516 accidents during the Songkran holiday (April 12-18) claimed the lives of 361 people with 3,802 injured according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. 29.5% of crashes involved drunk drivers and speeding was cited in 17.1%.

Motorcycles were involved in 79.6% of all accidents. It is likely the true numbers are considerably higher than the official figures as people who later die in (or on the way to) hospital are not counted. 3,977 were killed during the 7 days of Songkran in 2009.

A-330 DA TAP AVARIA NO REGRESSO A LISBOA

Avião da TAP aterra de emergência com avaria

Avião vinha do Rio de Janeiro para Lisboa e teve de aterrar em Salvador. Passageiros relatam fumo a bordo e uma explosão

Por: Redacção  |  2- 4- 2011  13: 32

 

Actualizada às 14:38

Um avião da TAP A330 que fazia a ligação entre o Rio de Janeiro e Lisboa, com 227 passageiros a bordo, aterrou este sábado por razões de segurança em Salvador, onde foi verificada uma avaria técnica, disse à Lusa fonte da companhia.

«Por questões de segurança, o avião divergiu para Salvador para ser avaliado pela manutenção», afirmou à agência Lusa a porta-voz da TAP, Carina Correia. Segundo a mesma fonte, foi detectada uma «avaria técnica», pelo que o aeronave vai permanecer naquele aeroporto brasileiro para «reparação».
Segundo um passageiro contactado pelo portal de notícias brasileiro «Globo», o arquitecto Manuel Augusto Pacheco Sanches, de 66 anos, que a tripulação informou após a aterragem de emergência que «uma turbina da aeronave incendiou-se durante o voo e tiveram que desligar».

«Eu e outros passageiros vimos o fumo a sair do lado exterior do avião durante o voo, mas achámos que seria algo na casa de banho ou na cozinha, alguém a aquecer alguma comida. Ninguém imaginou que fosse fogo», disse à «Globo».

Já a estilista Graziella Nadruz, em entrevista à «Globo News», que estava no voo, disse ter ouvido uma explosão. A estilista descreve um cheiro a fumo no avião duas horas após o início da viagem - altura em que os passageiros foram informados que o avião teria de parar em Salvador para reparação.

A estilista queixa-se de falta de orientação por parte da TAP quando aterraram e até ao início da manhã.

Passageiros regressam ainda hoje

A companhia aérea está a tentar enviar ainda este sábado um avião vazio para Salvador, para o regresso dos passageiros a Lisboa, com partida prevista para as 23h05, hora de Salvador, segundo avançou a porta-voz à TVI24.

Segundo o site da ANA - Aeroportos de Portugal, o voo TP186 tinha chegada prevista à capital portuguesa às 12:40.
