added that the flames, though nearby, had not reached the area of ??the Archaeological Park of the Coa Valley.

According to the website of the National Authority for Civil Protection (ANPC), the burning of Vila Nova de Foz Coa mobilizes 57 operational and 17 cars.

district of Guarda triggers another fire, Sierra’s Marofa, Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, which is being fought by 55 operational, five vehicles and a helicopter heavy bomber.

72 fires recorded since midnight - Público.pt

Flames still provide no respite throughout the country: from midnight on Wednesday were recorded 113 fires in Portugal, according to information from the National Authority for Civil Protection. Data compiled by the PUBLIC, a database with available research tool and related fires recorded in the last 12 years in the country, indicate that 27.3% of fires started overnight.

According

National Authority for Civil Protection (ANPC), 12 were still ongoing fires, and ten of which were considered major and mobilized more than 500 firefighters, backed by more than 140 vehicles. Of the ten fires, five are in the district of Porto, in the municipalities of Baiao, Amarante, Gondomar and two in Marco de Canaveses.

A fire in Amarante, consuming an area of ??grass between Murgido and Candemil was what mobilized more resources across the country: 115 firefighters (of 141 operational) and 38 operational vehicles. By early morning the circulation was cut on national roads 101 and 321, between the municipalities of Baião and Amarante, due to the fire.

Bragança, in the district of Vila Flor remained active even started a fire in the early hours of Tuesday. On site were about 100 firefighters and nearly 30 vehicles. In the Guard, in Vila Nova de Foz Coa, overnight started a fire that is being fought by 29 firefighters, who have the support of seven vehicles.

In the district of Braga, Vila Verde, also continues to plow the fire that started on Tuesday and another in the municipality of Póvoa de Lanhoso has begun at dawn. In Vila Real firefighters try to control a fire on four fronts county Mondim de Basto, in Alvão Park. 68 are already in place fire, a total of 82 and 20 operating vehicles.

366 fires on Tuesday
On Tuesday, the ANPC recorded 366 fires that were fought by 6270 operating with the aid of 1724 vehicles. That same day we learned that the firefighter Bernardo Figueiredo, 23, injured during the fire in the Sierra Caramulo on last Thursday, died. Bernardo Figueiredo was the same group of Rita Pereira, Alcabideche a firefighter who died in fire fighting.

The commander of the Fire Department of Estoril, Carlos Coelho, told Lusa that Bernardo Figueiredo succumbed to his injuries. Belonged to the volunteer fire for about five years. The commander assured, however, that the fireman had a formation “well above average” in fighting forest fires.

For this

Wednesday nearly three dozen counties North and Centre mainland Portugal with maximum risk of fire, according to information provided by the Portuguese Institute of Ocean and Atmosphere (IPMA), quoted by Lusa.

According to IPMA, are most at risk of fire the municipalities of Headwaters Basto (Braga), Ribeira de Pena and Sabrosa (Vila Real), Gondomar, Valongo and Baião (Porto), Resende, Castro Daire, Vila Nova de Paiva, Tondela, Sernancelhe and Viseu (Viseu), Sambucus, lumbering Beira, ovens Algodre, Aguiar da Beira and Trancoso (Guard), Arganil, Gois, Sierra Pampilhosa (Coimbra), potters, and Serta Vila de Rei (Castelo Branco), and Figueiró Pedrogão Grande Wines (Leiria), Sardoal and Macau (Santarém).

fire risk determined by IPMA comprises five levels ranging from reduced and maximum values. The calculation is done based on the values ??observed at 13.00 each day of air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and precipitation amount occurring in the last 24 hours.

State spends nearly four times more than in the fight ... - Público.pt

government plans to spend 74 million euros to fight fires and only 20 million in prevention. For specialists, greater investment in prevention would reduce spending and increase efficiency

The state spends nearly four times more in fighting forest fires rather than prevention. The National Authority for Civil Protection (ANPC) indicates that this year’s fire fighting device has an estimated cost of 74 million euros, while the Ministry of Agriculture and Marine estimates it will spend close to 20 million in structural prevention.

Altogether, 94 million are allocated to forest fires, 79% of which will fight and only 21% to prevention.

This proportion can come to tilt the device to further combat, since the warning ANPC, the value for this year “is always subject to some adjustments taking into account mainly the weight associated with the extraordinary expenses” .

Last year, the situation was not much different, with the fighting device cost 75 million euros and 18 million structural prevention. This means that 81% of the money has been spent in fighting against 19% in prevention.

annual report concerning the fires of 2012, a document of the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forestry and the ANPC, explains the parcels included in the 18 million euros. The largest share (10.6 million euros) was intended to partially fund the 278 teams of sappers forest (1390 elements) and Group Analysis and Use of Fire (GAUF).

In

infrastructure defense against forest fires were spending close to € 3.8 million, including the improvement of water points, maintenance of forest roads and running tracks fuel management. For reimbursement of local forestry offices were allocated 3.19 million, having also been awarded 400,000 euros to raise awareness.

Francisco Rego, former director general of forest resources, the discrepancy regrets spending and advocates a more balanced distribution of resources between prevention and combat. But, above all, a teacher at the Higher Institute of Agronomy emphasizes the need to link the two structures so that the measures become more effective. “There is communicating vessels between the system of prevention and combat. Structures are very separate,” he stresses. And an example: “The opening tracks fuel should be made taking into account the accesses allow performing combat. But that does not always happen.”

professor recalls that GAUF had that goal, bringing more knowledge to combat the large fires, and regrets that the groups have been virtually dismantled. “What there are some teams assembled at the last minute just to say that there is just this,” says Francisco Rego.

Since 2011 these groups underwent a radical operation, having reduced the number of teams and also changed its composition. These now have less forest technicians specializing in the analysis of fire behavior and its use to fight fires.

Pedro Carrilho, forestry technician in Mafra Hunting Reserve, is not surprised by the discrepancy spending. “Forest management and prevention is a more difficult job that does not have much visibility,” he explains. He adds: “There are many people who want to work in the forest.’s Not paid, nor socially valued.” The engineer regrets, for example, starvation in the new Institute for Nature Conservation and Forestry. “In the forest there is a technical services per district that has no one below him.”

Francisco Rego does not challenge the merger between the Institute of Nature Conservation and National Forest Authority, but regrets that the fires have been menorizados the new structure. “Before there was a separate direction to address this area, it is now integrated with forest diseases,” he criticizes. The former director general of forest resources considers that this devaluation results ironically the success of measures taken after the tragic years of 2003 and 2005. “When there is a relative success, there has been disinvestment in trouble like he disappeared. Which is why it becomes cyclical,” he believes.

Paulo Fernandes, Professor, Department of Forest Sciences, University of Tras-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), argues that the proportion of spending is reversed: “I should be spending more on prevention. And the long-term this would allow spending less in combat. ” The university awarded the little forest investment invisibility of this work and says, so it is easier to bet on the fight. “The forest area is extensive. Interventions mean an immense effort.’s A job that never ends and that we must continually keep.”

How

Francisco Rego, the teacher UTAD considers that there is a separation of structures for combating and prevention that makes no sense. “Often, the combat does not know how to take advantage of prevention, using, for example, areas with less fuel that were subject to actions prescribed burning,” he explains. Paulo Fernandes maintains that “firefighters confined the fire to wait on the road”, with much reluctance to intervene in forestry which makes many useless infrastructure defense against forest fires.

Fire approaches the Tibães Monastery in Braga - TVI24

fire that broke out early on Tuesday at Mount S. Philip, in Braga, close to the Monastery of Tibães have already been mobilized to fight a helicopter fire to the place.

LG G Pad, an Android tablet 8 polegas with high resolution screen - Telemoveis.com

The LG G Pad can be an 8-inch tablet equipped with a high resolution screen. Expected to more news from LG at IFA 2013 Berlin in September

Rumors that LG may be considering a return to the segment of the tablets are no longer now, but information regarding their potential device only recently become known. known online for LG G Pad, this mysterious tablet device would be equipped with a 8.3 inch screen with a very high resolution (1920 x 2000), being compared by some organs to Google Nexus 7.

Other specs include 2GB of RAM and an almost probable presence of a quad-core processor. This tablet will also be ultra-thin and ultra-light.

are expected more news on the return of LG to the world of tablets in September during the IFA Berlin 2013.

Genetic mutations of the 30 most common cancers were discovered - Tech & Net

GenomeWeb News , a large international team led by researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute could create a catalog changes Genome signatures.

According to the reports mentioned today in the journal Nature, the researchers gathered data from over 7000 genomes of cancer , with the aim of uncovering which profiles characteristic of genetic mutations in 30 most common types of cancer .

This research has resulted

at least 20 signatures mutational , which tend to be found in different combinations in tumors that depend on several factors such as the person’s age, type of cancer, exposure agents mutants have in their own DNA and so forth.

However

more research is needed to understand the various DNA replication failures, problems, repair and mutagenic changes can produce this mutational signature set and thus prevent the onset of various types of cancer.

According to author Michael Stratton, an investigator of the project said in a statement “This compendium of signatures of mutation and consequent results on the processes that underlie them, has profound implications for understanding the development of cancer “and added, with potential applications in the prevention and treatment of disease.

Applying a method similar to the computational data exome sequence (efficient strategy to selectively sequence the coding regions of the genome as a cheaper alternative even more effective for whole genome sequencing) to 6,535 cancer cases as well as genomes 507 , Michael Stratton and his colleagues have identified nearly 5 million somatic substitutions, small insertions and small deletions in tumors representative of 30 most common types of cancer .

Based on these findings to date, the investigators suspected that at least two subscription types are mutational play on most types of cancer. Nevertheless, they noted that some of the signatures appear to be specific to a narrow range of cancers, while others are much more common. For example it is known that chemicals from tobacco smoke or ultraviolet radiation respectively damage the DNA of cells in the lungs and skin and later develop cancer.

Some of mutational

signatures which are documented in the study could be explained at least partly by processes proposed in the past. One of many examples is that the genomes existing pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, ovarian they all had a type of mutational pattern occurring in the presence of alterations in BRCA1 or BRCA2.

With this discovery researchers hope that the treatment and prevention of cancer are getting better. With regard to all those who suffer from this disease, this finding is seen as a new hope that a cure is near.

Microsoft releases security patches for Windows and IE - Techworld

vulnerabilities allow remote code execution and elevation of privilege. Three corrections were classified as “critical”.

Microsoft released on Tuesday (13) eight security bulletins to fix bugs in various versions of its Windows operating system and Internet Explorer browser, and Windows Exchange Server.

corrections are part of the monthly security company, known as Patch Tuesday, which happens every second Tuesday of each month.

security bulletins include vulnerabilities in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows RT, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, 2010 and 2013 Internet Explorer that runs on Windows XP machines.

Three of the bulletins were released were rated “critical” – the highest severity and impact of the vulnerability provided by Microsoft.

The first bulletins, the MS13-059 fixes 11 vulnerabilities found in Internet Explorer – this is the only correct forward-browser.

According to the company report, flaws allow remote code execution if a user machine to access a site specially designed for attack using the browser company. If you can successfully exploit the flaw, the attacker can control over the PC according to user settings – ie, if the user-victim has administrator rights, then the attacker will also have.

“Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those with administrative rights,” says the report.

The other five patches affect Windows and were classified as “important.” Two of them allow elevation of privilege and the other two allow denial of service (DDoS).

addition of patches, Microsoft also said it will hold a webcast to dispel doubts of consumers. The event takes place on Thursday (15), 15:30 (GMT). To participate, simply visit the link msevents.microsoft.com / CUI / EventDetail.aspx? EventID = 1032540920 & culture = en-US.

North Korea says it has made a smartphone - Público.pt

phone Arigang, developed from the Android system, was shown to the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un during a visit to a factory. Jong-Un was accompanied by the head of the Workers Party and the North Korean Central News chief North Korean (KCNA), suggesting the possibility of smartphone come to be used for propagation government information.

The country has a network of telecommunications since 2008, after a partnership with the Egyptian company Orascom, but its activity is tightly controlled and monitored. The Asian nation had claimed last year that it had developed a tablet , although some sites have opened and examined the device have found evidence that was produced in China.

smartphone Arigan, whose name derives from a popular song of North Korea, will not have been produced by the country, the BBC defended the expert Martyn Williams, who maintains the site Tech and North Korea already dismounted tablet and found evidence of Chinese manufacturing. “The device was developed probably by a Chinese producer and then sent to a North Korean factory where it was inspected before leaving the sale,” says Williams.

North Korean citizens who have subscribed the only telecommunications service available in the country can make phone calls to each other, but calls abroad are prohibited. Internet access is even more limited, and it is estimated that only about a thousand people be able to connect to the Internet in North Korea, in a population of 25 million.

Of the 100,000 who want to go to Mars only 32 speak Portuguese - Tech & Net

Mars Mission One already has 100,000 volunteers to be astronauts with one-way ticket. But among all those who want to be part of the first crew to walk the red planet only speak Portuguese 32 and the vast majority comes from Brazil.

Mars One mission confirmed that the number of candidates to participate in the first manned flight to Mars has reached 100,000 while the inscriptions have finished only at the end of August. But the project going to die to the red planet seems to have excited so than speakers of Portuguese.

Indeed, the hundred thousand applicants, only 32 speak Portuguese and Portuguese-speaking Brazil is the country that most aspiring astrounautas have. are 27 Brazilians who want to be selected for the crew to depart for a one-way trip in the summer of 2022. Portugal ranks second with four candidates and Angola and Mozambique have one candidate each.

parent project is the Dutch scientist Bas Lansdorp. Conference by Twitter on the 9th, Lansdorp confirmed the number of subscribers and stressed that there is still a lot of people working in their curricula and decide whether to pay the price of registration, which varies in different countries.

Mars One project aims to place the first group of humans to live on Mars, with the launch of the first manned spacecraft planned for summer 2022 and arriving after 210 days of travel.
