The King of Poland from 1333 to 1370. He was the last Polish king from the Piast dynasty, born on 30 April 1310 in Kowal, died on 5 November 1370 in Kraków. He was the youngest, third son of King Wladyslaw I (“the Elbow-high”) and Duchess Jadwiga of Kalisz. When Casimir attained the throne in 1333, his position was in danger, as his neighbors did not recognize his title. The Polish kingdom was depopulated and exhausted by the war, and the economy was ruined. Thanks to Casimir the kingdom became prosperous and wealthy, with great prospects for the future. He waged many victorious wars and doubled the size of the kingdom, mostly through the addition of lands in modern-day Ukraine. […]

Com o sistema da Sensei, câmaras registam o que os clientes levam para casa e as empresas recebem mais informação. A tecnologia levanta algumas questões laborais, mas a empresa garante que não quer lojas sem pessoas. Criar lojas sem filas, ao substituir as caixas de pagamento por câmaras e algoritmos. Essa é a visão da Sensei, uma startup portuguesa que desde 2017 está a desenvolver aquilo que descreve como um “sistema de retalho inteligente” para diminuir o tempo que as pessoas esperam para sair de uma loja depois de ter as compras feitas. A tecnologia deve chegar aos clientes ainda este ano. O PÚBLICO foi experimentar uma pequena loja de demonstração a funcionar em Lisboa. Só se entra com o […]

His reign is one of great interest to many historians Charles II may not be one of the greatest military masterminds or a sly and cunning political figure, but he is one of the most exuberant, flamboyant, and promiscuous kings that England possessed. Known as the ‘merry monarch’ and a licentious playboy, his reign is one of great interest to many historians. His philandering became popular due to his liaisons with his Cockney mistress, Nell Gwyn. Before Charles was restored to the throne in 1660, after the Commonwealth years under “boring” Oliver Cromwell, Charles had to find a wife. Various German Princesses were offered for examination, but Charles would usually dismiss them as “dull and foggy”. Charles had a relationship […]

Apresentação da estratégia da Empresa de Gestão e Desenvolvimento Florestal foi feita hoje. Objectivo: incentivar o emparcelamento de terrenos para reduzir a fragmentação da propriedade e da produção. O primeiro-ministro, António Costa, defendeu nesta quarta-feira, em Figueiró dos Vinhos, que o desafio do Estado é transformar a grande ameaça que tem sido a floresta numa fonte de riqueza para o território. Na apresentação da estratégia da Florestgal – Empresa de Gestão e Desenvolvimento Florestal, criada pelo Governo em Setembro de 2018, António Costa considerou que a reforma da floresta é “absolutamente essencial”, para que esta “possa ser, como tem de ser, um factor de riqueza colectiva”. Mas, para isso, “temos de saber gerir a floresta”, que nas últimas décadas foi sendo […]

Há quem aplauda e quem desconfie. Quem ache úteis as sessões para alunos com associações LGBTI e quem questione se terão a formação necessário para o fazer. Há já dez anos que Rosa Franco, enfermeira, está em contacto diário com alunos, seja em escolas ou na Unidade de Cuidados na Comunidade do Agrupamento de Centros de Saúde de Oeiras, a que pertence. Tem constatado que “são cada vez mais os jovens” que a procuram por “pensarem que são homossexuais”. E logo muito cedo: “No início da adolescência os jovens têm uma grande dualidade e surgem-lhes muitas dúvidas também sobre a sua orientação sexual.” Essa é uma das razões pela qual considera que possa ser “importante” que associações LGBTI participem em sessões […]

William of Orange – the ancestor of the Dutch monarchy William of Orange was the main leader of the Dutch Revolt against the Spanish Habsburgs that set off the Eighty Years’ War (1568–1648) and resulted in the formal independence of the United Provinces in 1581.

A wealthy nobleman, William originally served the Habsburgs as a member of the court of Margaret of Parma, governor of the Spanish Netherlands. Unhappy […]

Investigadores estimam que, em Portugal e durante 2015, a poluição do ar tenha causado 15 mil mortes, ou seja, 138 mortes por cada 100 mil habitantes. Problemas cardiovasculares provocam quase um terço dos óbitos, mas os cardiologistas alertam que as pessoas não estão conscientes do problema. Afinal, a poluição do ar pode ser responsável por mais mortes do que aquelas que a Agência Europeia do Ambiente (EEA, na sigla inglesa) e a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) estimavam. Em Portugal, as estimativas dos cientistas apontam para cerca de 15 mil mortes provocadas pela inalação de partículas finas e outros poluentes, em 2015. As estimativas anteriores, da EEA, indicavam que seriam 6690 também nesse ano. A conclusão é de uma investigação, […]

O meteoro entrou na atmosfera terrestre a 18 de Dezembro do último ano, mas a explosão só agora foi divulgada pela NASA. Foi a maior dos últimos 30 anos. A explosão de um meteoro aquando da sua entrada na atmosfera terrestre libertou dez vezes mais energia do que a bomba atómica lançada no final da II Guerra Mundial sobre Hiroxima, no Japão. Ainda assim, o episódio quase passou despercebido. A explosão deu-se a 18 de Dezembro do último ano, mas só agora foi divulgada pela NASA (Administração Nacional da Aeronáutica e Espaço). A explosão do meteoro, que se transformou numa bola de fogo que caiu no mar de Bering, no extremo norte do oceano Pacífico, foi detectada pelos satélites militares […]

Karl der Große – Carolus Magnus/Charlemagne. Born into the second ruler house of what is nowadays known as France, Charlemagne has proclaimed the French king in 768. His importance as a German monarch began with the Saxon Wars (772-804) when he invaded Saxony with the intent to conquer, a goal he finally reached after 32 years of brutal and bloody battles. One of his main motivations was to get present-day Germany to unify Europe under the Christian cross, which is why he was and always will be known as the Father of Europe. The height of his power was in the year 800 when he was proclaimed Emperor by Pope Leo II. His crowning turned him into “Augustus Imperator Renovatio […]

Zygmunt moved Poland’s capital from Cracow to Warsaw “The Golden Age of Poland” occurred during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, formally, the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the largest and most populous countries in Europe at that time. In its largest territorial extent, the Commonwealth covered almost 1 million square km and sustained a multi-ethnic population of 11 million. Religious freedom was guaranteed by the Warsaw Confederation in 1537, which made the country one of the most tolerant. Another interesting fact is that between 1573–1795, kings to the Polish throne were selected in so-called “free elections”, disrespecting the rule of dynastic succession. The first free election took place after the last monarch of Jagiellonian dynasty died […]

The twenty-fifth Capetian King of France and the son of Francis I. He is the perfect representative of the figure of a French Renaissance monarch. Indeed, under his reign (from 1547 to 1559), a lot of great writers had the opportunity to enrich the classical literature of the country. We can think for example at Montaigne, Ronsard, Du Bellay and many more. It is also at that time that the new creative and artistic movement of La Pleiade emerged. When Henry was very young, he was made the prisoner of Emperor Charles Quint, being exchanged for his father’s freedom. He is released four years later. At the age of fourteen, he is married to Catherine of Medicis with who he […]

He had such a strong impact on the following kings. The article this month is about a King or a Queen of my country. France with a long, and complicated history had a lot of kings, some of them are more famous than the others, such as Louis XIV for example.

Saint-Louis is the 44th King of France, from the Capétien family, his father is Louis VIII The Lion and his mother Blanche of Castille. He became king at the age of 12, but too young to […]
