No clássico contra o Corinthians, a torcida palmeirense quebrou várias cadeiras no Itaquerão e caberá à diretoria do time pagar a conta, conforme acordo entre os dirigentes. Contudo, o Palmeiras também foi multado pelo STJD e terá de pagar R$ 50 mil. Desta forma, a diretoria do Verdão, mão de vaca que só ela, tenta transformar o problema em solução.

O presidente Paulo Nobre quer enviar o atacante Leandro ao Corinthians como pagamento pelas cadeiras quebradas e inserir no contrato uma cláusula sobre o valor de R$ 50 mil, que seria direcionado ao STJD numa futura venda. Assim, o Verdão se livraria dos salários e, principalmente, do jogador.

A procuradoria do Fluminense, digo do STJD, garante que não será possível aceitar o negócio: ”Se o STJD aceitar, quando o Leandro for vendido, o Palmeiras deverá dar a diferença, que deve ficar em R$ 49 mil  mais ou menos. Portanto, é melhor pagaragora do que esperar o jogador ser negociado com algum time da terceira divisão”, disse o procurador João Moreira, o João Fluzão.

O também Corinthians garantiu que não aceitará a proposta, já que não necessita mais de entulho do Palmeiras – como o que foi utilizado para construir o Itaquerão -, e principalmente pelo fato de o estádio já estar pronto e não precisar de mão de obra na construção.

Caso não obtenha sucesso na empreitada, o Palmeiras deve enviar Leandro à Disney para ocupar o lugar de Valdivia e parar de atrapalhar a equipe.

 

OFICIAL: Alemanha aposenta camisa Rubro-negra

Acabou a única alegria flamenguista sem ajuda da arbitragem. A Alemanha aposentou oficialmente a camisa rubro-negra, inspirada no uniforme do Flamengo. O motivo é a presença do Mengão na lanterna do Brasileirão, fato que envergonharia os alemães ao se associarem a uma marca perdedora.

“Quando realizamos a homenagem de usar a camisa parecida com a do Flamengo, pegamos emprestado um pouco da marca e das características do time brasileiro. Desta forma, não é interessante usar a camisa de um clube sem dinheiro, sem estádio, sem time, com história ligada à arbitragem e, principalmente, pelo fato da equipe estar na lanterna da principal competição do Brasil. A camisa está oficialmente aposentada”, disse o gerente da federação alemã de futebol, Hans Harald Frentzen.

Muitos torcedores alemães ficaram irritados ao receberem a notícia de que o Flamengo está na lanterna. Os mais exaltados queimaram as camisas rubro-negras e pediram a saída da Adidas, que colocou a seleção alemã em uma fria e a expôs de forma negativa ao ser relacionada ao Flamengo.

A camisa foi criada visando obter a simpatia dos flamenguistas, para que a Alemanha ficasse de bem com a “malandragem” durante a Copa. Desta forma, haveria garantia de que os jogadores voltariam para suas famílias após passar perto das favelas cariocas.

Mesothelioma claims the life of Canberra electrician

August 7, 2014

Emma Macdonald

SENIOR REPORTER FOR THE CANBERRA TIMES.

Mr Jorritsma and his wife of 43 years, Stephanie, despaired about the future health of their three sons, all of whom have chosen professions that expose them to asbestos.

John Jorritsma died of mesothelioma on Wednesday after spending a career as an electrician drilling through asbestos sheeting and crawling through Mr Fluffy homes. Having watched his brother die of mesothelioma six years previously, Mr Jorritsma spent much of the last few years of his life in a state of agitation about the level of exposure tradespeople suffer in Canberra. Mr Jorritsma spent much of the last few years of his life in a state of agitation about the level of exposure tradespeople suffer in Canberra. Most of all, Mr Jorritsma and his wife of 43 years, Stephanie, despaired about the tradespeople of Canberra. Most of all, Mr Jorritsma and his wife of 43 years, Stephanie, despaired about the future health of their three sons, all of whom have chosen professions that expose them to asbestos. They believed tradespeople have been the unwitting victims of the Mr Fluffy crisis as, until this year, most were unaware of the dangers of dealing with remnant loose amosite present in more than 1000 Mr Fluffy homes across the city. The common use of asbestos sheeting across Canberra has also exposed so many to the deadly fibres. Mrs Jorritsma does not want her sons to suffer as their father did before he died at Clare Holland House. Adrian is an electrician who took over his father’s business, while Michael has a kitchen and bathroom joinery business and David is a mechanical engineer. ”I’ve begged Adrian in particular to find another business, as a week wouldn’t go past where he does not come into contact with a Mr Fluffy house,” she said. Adrian says he feels haunted by asbestos. ”I’ve watched my uncle die and this week I watched my dad die,” he said.  ”It is an absolutely horrible way to die.” His father never smoked and was previously fit and healthy. Adrian estimates he has worked on as many as 100 Mr Fluffy homes since he joined his father in the trade. He and his mother recall Mr Jorritsma in his earlier years being quite blase about asbestos risk. But as information about its deadly effects became more widespread, he became more concerned. His brother’s death – due to exposure to asbestos brake dust through his work as a motor mechanic – jolted him into action and he had constantly been in his sons’ ears about taking care to minimise their exposure. For Mrs Jorritsma, who will bury her husband next week, the only solution the ACT government should pursue is to safely demolish all Mr Fluffy homes and plough more resources into asbestos awareness and training for all tradespeople and for the families who live in older homes that contain bonded asbestos. ”It will be a huge job to properly demolish these homes and make sure they are disposed of, but what choice does the government have?” she said. ”We can’t go on like this with so many people’s lives at stake.” Adrian has considered changing his career. ”But where do I go and what do I do?” he asked. In the meantime, he believes the government must urgently alert tradespeople to a home’s contamination through numerous ways – notices in fuse boxes and warnings at subfloor doors and near roof cavities. “At least this way we would know what we are walking into. You cannot have too much information where this risk is involved.” Adrian believed demolition should take place only if home owners did not suffer financial disadvantage – having invested in homes they believed were s

“José do Egito” e “Vitória” se destacam nesta quarta-feira

Maytê Piragibe interpretou Azenate em José Do Egito e interpreta Renata na novela Vitória

Juliana Silveira interpreta Priscila na novela Vitória

Em um dia em que sua dramaturgia é beneficiada por um horário melhor e por uma concorrência menos agressiva, a Record teve “José do Egito”e “Vitória” como seus destaques desta última quarta-feira (06).

A reprise de “José do Egito”, por exemplo, alcançou média de 8 pontos e teve o melhor desempenho desde que foi relançada.

A minissérie de Vivian de Oliveira também se posicionou como a atração mais vista de toda a grade, empatando com o “Cidade Alerta” – ainda que este tenha registrado leve vantagem decimal.

Já “Vitória” registrou média de 7 pontos. O número, apesar de não ser recorde, é considerado satisfatório para o folhetim que tem marcado 5 pontos nos dias em que confronta com “Império” do início ao fim.

Esses índices são consolidados e são baseados na preferência de um grupo de telespectadores da Grande São Paulo.

Saída de Forcolen da Record pode gerar multa superior a R$ 1 milhão

 

A saída de Rogério Forcolen da Record, oficializada nesta última segunda-feira (04), pode gerar uma multa milionária para a emissora, que demonstrou o interesse pelo desligamento. As informações são do jornalista Léo Dias.

O custo da rescisão, calculado sobre o valor estipulado em contrato de R$ 70 mil mensais até o fim do compromisso – que ocorreria dentro de 16 meses -, chegaria à casa de R$ 1,12 milhão.

O valor, inclusive, coincide com uma declaração dada pelo jornalista há algumas semanas. Em julho deste ano, quando se deparou com as primeiras informações de que a Record não renovaria seu contrato, o âncora, de bom humor, disparou: “Quando que eles não renovarão? Em 2016? Se eu for dispensado no fim do ano recebo uma quina acumulada”.

Ainda não se sabe se a multa realmente será paga pela Record. A saída do apresentador foi feita em comum acordo, o que pode ter acabado por reduzir as cifras a serem pagas.

Em 2013, quando a Record e Gugu Liberato decidiram pelo fim antecipado do contrato, a emissora chegou a entregar um de seus helicópteros para o apresentador. Mesmo abrindo mão de um importante equipamento em suas coberturas, o valor foi infinitamente menor aos mais de R$ 150 milhões orçados de multa na época.

 

Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 set for Auckland

Singapore Airlines could begin Airbus A380 flights between Singapore and Auckland this year following NZ government approval of its alliance with Air New Zealand.

The Competition Commission of Singapore has already rubber-stamped the proposal, which will see new routes opened up and existing services shared between the two Star Alliance flag-carriers.

Both airlines “will announce operational dates for alliance services shortly”, according to a joint statement.

When the partnership was first announced in January this year, the airlines said that “pending approval, flights could commence as early as December 2014.”

Singapore Airlines says its A380 superjumbo would fly daily between Singapore and Auckland, “progressively replacing an existing daily service with the smaller Boeing 777-300ER”

For its part, Air New Zealand will restart daily services between Auckland and Singapore – a route it axed in 2006 – with one of the Kiwi carrier’s refurbished Boeing 777-200ER jets.

This flight will operate daily, taking over five flights currently operated by Singapore Airlines and adding two more weekly flights under AirNZ’s own steam.

Passengers will transfer at Singapore to one of SQ’s four daily flights to London or the wealth of Singapore Airlines flights to other destinations in the UK, Europe, South East Asia and Africa. The codeshare agreement will also extend to Singapore Airlines’s regional offshoot SilkAir.

In return, Singapore Airlines will stamp its SQ flight code onto all domestic and selected international Air New Zealand flights.

Virgin Australia warms to Airbus A350

“Seriously outstanding”, “very impressive” and “an incredibly competitive aircraft” – that was some of the praise which Virgin Australia CEO John Borghetti showered on the Airbus A350 as he toured the advanced jet on its whistle-stop visit to Sydney this week.

Airbus finds itself in a familiar tussle with Boeing over which company will win the order for Virgin’s fleet beyond 2017 to replace the airline’s existing Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 jets.

Borghetti has previously talked up both the A350 and the competing Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and in February 2013 told Australian Business Traveller that the Boeing-or-Airbus question would be “more an end-of-year decision”.

“We don’t have to rush into this” Borghetti said.

“We’re talking about fleet composition beyond 2017. Admittedly we have to make a call soon, but we’ve still got a year or so up our sleeves.”

That year-or-so is now all but done, and orders for both birds are piling up, but Borghetti is intent on taking his time to make the right decision – and no doubt land the best discount against the list price, which sits at US$249.5 million for 787-9 Dreamliner and US$295 million for the Airbus A350-900.

And a few sweet words for the A350 is no doubt going to help in that.

“We’ll take our time and make sure we make the right decision, but this (A350) is a very impressive aircraft” Borghetti admitted.

“Our team’s been studying this very carefully, obviously, along with the Boeing aircraft, and from everything we’ve seen on paper certainly (the A350’s) an incredibly competitive aircraft” he told The Australian.

“Whether you’re looking at it from the operating statistics or the customer comfort, I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised.”

The style-savvy CEO also singled out the spacious interior of the A350, which boasts standard 18 inch-wide seats for economy passengers.

“You really don’t think you’re in a tube; you think you’re in a room because you’ve got a flat roof and almost a flat side” he observed.

“It’s very different to what was, of course, the original 350 design. This is outstanding, seriously ­outstanding.”

Signing what would on the face of things be a multi-billion dollar cheque for flash new planes might seem at odds with an expected $200m+ pre-tax loss for the 2013-2014 financial year which Virgin is tipped to report later this month.

But with the need to plan ahead for the next generation of Virgin’s fleet, and the cost savings on fuel and maintenance for these new jets, it could be an easy argument to make that Virgin is investing its way back into the black.

For a peek inside the A350, check out our walkthrough of the first passenger-ready A350 and our first-hand report from on board the A350’s flight test earlier this year.

Australian Capital Territory unemployment rises to almost 4 per cent in July

August 7, 2014 – 11:17PM

Ben Westcott and Henry Belot

The ACT unemployment rate rose from 3.8 to 3.9 per cent in July as business figures warned that the full impact of Commonwealth job cuts were still to be felt in the territory.

Jobs were lost in almost every state and territory across Australia last month, as the national rate reached its highest point since August 2002.

New figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday showed the ACT recorded the highest unemployment rate since 4 per cent was registered in December last year.

But while unemployment increased in the ACT, the participation rate for the territory remained steady at 71.2 per cent.

The national seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was up 0.3 percentage points to 6.8 per cent in July, the highest point since August 2002.

Canberra Business Council chief executive Chris Faulks said it was likely the full impact of the federal government’s public service job cuts had yet to hit the ACT.

But she said the ACT economy was sound and prospects were good for business in Canberra, pointing out how the city’s international business was flourishing.

“One of our members today received a single order for $2.2 million for the sale of wine to China,” she said.

“The exporters are really doing very well and companies that are involved in the e-commerce digital market and focusing on markets outside of Canberra, rather than focusing on what’s happening here, are doing remarkably well.”

ACT Treasurer Andrew Barr said he was disappointed to see the unemployment rate had risen but it had been expected given the Abbott government’s ongoing public service cuts and associated drop in confidence.

“The ACT economy continues to produce jobs in spite of the Commonwealth cutbacks. The trend number of ACT residents in employment increased by 200 to 215,000,” he said.

“Given today’s figures, it’s clear that the ACT government is taking the right approach to supporting our economy and supporting jobs.”

He said it was important to note that the ACT had the lowest trend unemployment rate in the country, well below the national average, and the second highest trend participation rate in the past month.

ACT shadow treasurer Brendan Smyth said the small rise in employment was a further indicator that Canberra could not rely on the federal government for its economic growth.

“Further diversification of the economic base is needed to insulate Canberra from the boom and bust cycle that the city suffers from due to federal spending cuts,” Mr Smyth said.

“Recent data on the softness of the retail market and the Property Council’s report released this morning showing commercial property vacancies climbing towards 14 per cent clearly indicates the need for more to be done to improve the economy of the ACT.”

Nationally, Queensland recorded the biggest loss of jobs in July, with unemployment jumping from 6.2 to 6.8 per cent. In NSW unemployment rose from 5.7 to 5.9 per cent.

Victoria’s unemployment lifted 0.4 percentage points to 7 per cent, Tasmania jumped from 7.3 to 7.6 per cent and Western Australia’s jobless rate inched higher to 5.2 per cent.

James Akel ironiza pedido do prefeito Fernando Haddad para que as pessoas doem móveis e o objetos domésticos

Fernando Haddad é tão incompetente quanto Dilma Rousseff . Sendo filhos do socialismo soviético , não poderíamos esperar outra coisa …

É inacreditável que a maior cidade do Brasil peça ao povo pra doar móveis e objetos domésticos.

Se a maior cidade do Brasil não tem recurso então é melhor entregar pra quem sabe administrar.

E este pedido foi feito publicamente pelo secretário de transportes da prefeitura.

Se eles querem fazer uma encenação pra mostrar que querem a ajuda e interação do povo, fizeram errado.

Se é de verdade esta necessidade, a gente pergunta pra onde foi a verba da secretaria.

A rejeição ao prefeito Haddad está a cada dia mais demonstrada em sua ação inadequada na cidade.
