HONROSO FÉNIX

A Base Aérea no. 1 em Sintra, a mais antiga das bases da Força Aérea, celebrou ontem o seu 86º aniversário e serviu de palco ao mediático reaparecimento dos " ASAS DE PORTUGAL " - a maior patrulha acrobática militar portuguesa.

Também a partir desta BA pilotei com muito orgulho um dos T37-C que lhe deram corpo e alma:

Formada agora por apenas dois caças Alpha Jet,

a patrulha denomina-se : "Parelha da Cruz de Cristo"

THE HUMAN TRANSCRIPT CODE

Scientists have reached a landmark point in one of the world's most important scientific projects by sequencing the last chromosome in the Human Genome, the so-called "Book of Life".

Chromosome 1 is the biggest, contains nearly twice as many genes as the average chromosome and makes up 8% of the human genetic code. Its sequencing led to the identification of more than 1,000 new genes. The human genome has an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 genes.

The Human Genome Project was started in 1990 to identify the genes and DNA sequences that provide a blueprint for human beings: The Human Genome Map

FOOD FOR ABUSE

Girls as young as eight in Liberia are being forced to have sex in exchange for food by aid workers for local and international agencies.

The UN promised to put safeguards in place after sexual abuse in the refugee camps of West Africa was first revealed four years ago.

CENSORED CODE

"The most disturbing thing about the Hollywood adaptation of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is its musical score and sound effects, according to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).

* This is the first time that a soundtrack is censored by the BBFC *

"Everyone was full of praise for the score but the BBFC felt that
the way it was being used to build up the tension
was simply too much for very young children."

"The BBFC also thought that the film had a very high 'crunch factor'.
You didn't just see the fight scenes, you heard the bones break."

Opus Dei, a conservative Catholic group with 86,000 members worldwide, has also arranged special information evenings in London for the public and has asked Sony Pictures, which produced the new film, to include a caption explaining the film is fiction. Sony has previously declined to reveal whether the film would carry such a disclaimer.
