LE MONDE

Cést vrai que nous sommes toujours entouré par violence dans tout le globe. C'est vrai que notre vies ne sont pas les memes qu'ils ont été .... mais sur ces events à Paris, un massacre barabare, qu'est on doit faire? Plus controle , plus intelegence, fermer frontieres, en fin moins liberté?
Que faire avec les nouvelles vagues de migrants?
Qu'est que nous, Européenes, devrions exiger a notre Europe, en particulier a la classe politique et economique? Montrer force? Avoir retaliation individuelles?

S'il y a vraiment un seule Europe alors il devra existir une seule voix et fort response en ensemble avec les autres pays qui font efforts pour éliminer le terrorism.
Aucun pays pouvait dire que cela c'est pas son concerne.

Trés desolée avec ces acts et Europe.

---------------------------------------------------

It is true that we are always surrounded by violence throughout the world. It is true that our lives are not the same .... but after those events in Paris,a  barbarian killing  , what should be done? More control, more intelligence, close borders, hence having less freedom?
What to do with new waves of migrants?
What we, Europeans, should demand from Europe, especially to the political and economic class?
Show strength? Have individual country retaliation?

If there really is a single Europe then it should exist one voice and strong response altogether with other countries that make efforts to eliminate terrorism.
No country can say that this is not of their concerns.


Very  and truly sorry with these acts and Europe.

WHAT IS IN 'STEAK' ?

#WHO has published an alert over meat..... processed, red..... etc

 http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2015/pdfs/pr240_E.pdf

this will be an ax on the fast food chains and general animal production

nowadays food represents one of the key factors for citizens health influence, either for the best or worse; We all know that society has demanded quantity rather than quality....
Quantity for the lots humans to be fed and also at an affordable price....  though its redundancy..... this has a price...
Chemicals, antibiotics  are abundant in intensive animal (either meat or fish) production and growing and general food production (ADN modified cereals.... golden rice.... #monsanto etc.); though in EU there are lots of regulations and control, we all know that there are always 'someone'  escaping from the regulatory , usually benefiting markets rather than citizens. Sorry, but i don't trust in the results made by regulatory institutions and their standards as an whole.

Of course that Economy will be affected upon these news, there must be somehow some balance and diversification (as in finance products, if you will..)

One preventive measure would be clarification about the information that get to the citizens at e.g. the packages....which usually are misinformed. "Made in EU" is simply not enough, besides, there are lots of schemes and scams in order to get the 'Made in EU' stamp, where doubtful entities create fiscal offices and import all or almost all of their production from out of regulation countries (or less demanding ones).


I will continue to eat meat but surely with an added view to balance, having in mind that there's a lot in "steak"....

WEEK after WEEK .... too WEAK (the formula)

THE EU as an institution has huge problems;

 THE DIAGNOSIS in 6

1 -  "the name"
European isn't really an union;

2- "leaders wanted"
There isn't really an inspiring leader, that has the rhetoric and guts to face worlds convulsions;

3-"services vs production"
lots of new generation citizens aren't prepared to engage in productive companies, the labor force is weakened in such skills, or transferred to cheap labor regions (the emerging countries usually...).

4-"lets go public"
a) Privatize as much as the markets demand, has been the destruction of powerful industries, Europe can't depend so much on faceless markets;
b) Markets want profits , efficiency and returns (as it any companies should);
c)Buy (with huge loans) in "hope" to get more efficiency and to reduce the user payed goods, i.e. cheaper labor hand, very flexible laws and rules.... ( no or small investment in R&D to do this); d)If consumption decreases, there goes the cuts in HR, layoffs, or bankruptcy; Markets are like parasites... has long there are hosts to live from..... financial products like futures are mostly intangible ... there's no future without a sustained present....

5-"tax payers vs citizens"
in order to face management errors, like huge money throw away to construction (essentially by buildings that have no return, social, cultural, commercial i.e. the so called public investment), the final invoice is addressed to citizens as taxes, hence they refrain their consumption which take us  to my last point 4d)

6-"the paradise is a mirage "
corruption is the pinnacle of promiscuous relationships; Unfortunately is installed, even the so called strong democracies have it (lobbying is also on the edge of it); At first were more prone the fragile societies that accepted all kinds of kicks in order to obtain their e.g. dictator  huge profits. Now its all over....industry, sports, governments, health, banking.... you name it. So, this distribution of wealth is just as wrong as unfair, but markets willingly accepted..... because they get faster to their goals.


SOLUTIONS for the 6

1-The name: EUROPE FEDERATION

2-The leader: Don't care if is #Hollande, #Merkel, #CR7 #DavidBeckam or #Berlusconi; There must be one voice inside EU (fiscal, economic, defense, health, education), a president that has the power to decide upon democratic rules approved in the parliament; NO bilateral agreements; 1 Spoken Language, don't care if is portuguese, german, english or esperanto....  (ok Mr #Junker?)

3- Educate to prosper, in the middle ages people were denied information; Now "they" spill trash info, or wrong one; Industry skills must be emphasized and payed in a fair sustained fashion.

4-No longer wild carded Market dependencies, this is a philosophic choice and political; Citizen must be the focus; "Yes, but the citizens" , instead of "Yes but the markets"; Unbalanced market the drive citizens to nowhere isn't Capitalism is an outlaw jungle,

5- Governments should be responsible for their acts in the shape of a federation or not; The supposed scrutiny done to the program should be consequent specially in what comes to expenditure, so it would have a more serious commitment of the elected MPs.

6- Values change enforcement, there must be a rigorous preventive measures to avoid corruption; i've a got a basic theory for it... "if your cat is fed, there's no need to climb the table".... Companies should have a compulsory fund (that would be financed by an existent tax .... such as profit, that by one side it would work as an insurance and/or could be used for direct (but supervised) investment in tech development, R&D and Intellectual property, or employees training; Governors shouldn't be allowed to have conflictual double interests, such as lawyers societies and MPs; Power to empowered: no such shadow organizations masonry, opus dei,  Illuminati, mafia,  etc should influence strategy plans of an institution/ country... could there be a defense program for that?


would these be enough? no.... but it should be a start.
please Mr/ Mrs Europe solve the case of refugees is such a shame and is a reflection of passivity due to bad leadership.

Talking =/ Acting. (in this isolated subject, take some lessons from #Putin)

what is your move ?

"-its your turn now..."

while some play chess, other die.

this geopolitical warfare makes me sick; these institutions have no power to lead
a true citizen protection. Anyone who assists TV news, can be easily puzzled,
either on trying to understand motivations as for the results.

Regarding Syria, I don't know nothing of religion, but it has nothing to do
with it... at the end is just power..... Iran treat it as if it were a Shiite colony ,while
taking the President an "hostage"; Syrian President wants to get reed of its opposition,
i.e Sunnis, Alawites (which for Iran is a plus); Putin is taking its opportunity to justify
and show that is a problem solver (though taking part on Assad while selling both sides weapons), and how he could be seen in Crimea, and that he is a belligerent with means (power show),
and for it he would want for instance a step-down in west sanctions

Is West playing?
yes... but Obama is a Nobel prize.... so is war refrained. EU as an whole doenst take bold and fast decisions,  UN and OTAN ... hostages of its own members.

I must confess that the price and results of not having
strategic preventive peaceful war (if such exists) can result in
deadly dangerous wars in the mean - long term.

THE PEARL jam

Are you looking for the pearl in your life? Are you sure you know what to do with it?
well most people guess they don't; but they were not taught to, so whats in it to blame?
if we are just chemistry reaction, we can't blame ourselves for nothing, synapses are different from each brain.  If we are a reaction of our environment, then our environment is sick; We can measure and analyse life from different angles, but that shouldn't serve us as an excuse to don't balance nor getting proper global answers that fits us all as (at least) human beings.

Careful with what you wish for.

(recommend easy to read the Pearl from Nobel Prize John Steinbeck)

MIND, SET ... GO!

For all the athletes out here that train 6 -8h / day, but, above all, leave every sweat drop in the field, fighting for a goal, in a clean fashion, my congrats.

Specially for this Portuguese triple jumper NELSON EVORA, Olympic Beijing gold medalist 2008 that has been, unfortunately due to several injuries and surgical  interventions out of its top world best.  But after a 7 year hard path he have reached one more podium, a lesson to be learned and put in action by many.

Training and fighting for goals is important, but mindset is also key to achieve hard targets, as in sport as in common life.

Congrats NELSON ÉVORA, a true example in sport,
see you in 2016 BRASIL Olympics fighting for the podium again!

World Photography Day

here's my contribution to this day.... more @photos
an eye over the thought.

Desire ?

Mainstream wanted citizen wishes, as mundane desires, most surely lead to emptiness; no wonder there are so many shallow short thought, with no ideal to (at least) follow.

But now i'll just shut up, and go to another party, in some private paradise island, flying private jet airplane, where i'll have my DB10 Aston Martin waiting, using my "spero lucem" watch, suited in by De La Renta, and unsuited by a lot ... most probably i'll not know a single soul in the next day and be alone the rest of that day... fortunately i've made some businesses and met some presidents.... until the next party.

here are some 80's.....

Eyes wide shut

Is such an hypocrisy, what is happening in the world: lets take these latest refugees scenario; there should be a strong unison voice (at least from Europe), that would allow by one side help migrants despair, and the other to maintain peace, democratic values and overall countries sustainability.  This is happening and ignoring it, won't solve the present issues and future unbalance  problems. Of course no one want's its economical or social situation being damaged by unsolved foreign problems, of curse no one wants terrorism enter in their homes, of course anyone wants the sense of security with its rights (and duty's) kept..... but, are we not living in the same planet? Leaders and citizens have simultaneously the responsibility to search for solutions and to show what anyone's true desires are.
Anyway... first things first, when international institutions and countries have the political and economical will, preserving the citizen /human being requirements and hence rights, then the root of the question will start to get an answer, but time is getting consumed; Doing nothing and let each of the countries solve these problems by themselves, surely will not be an answer.

MASKs

it's not because of the splendor of Venice masks that everyone should wear one.

Unbalance mode

Which weight should be given priority to, in order to develop some more balanced strategy?
(yes... still on Europe with Greek focus matter).
I mean,  by one side there are hidden agendas ( not talking about conspiracy whatsoever! , mainly greed as key motivation) institutions, bureaucracy, agreements etc, by the other (perhaps) ideals, political agendas.... in the middle citizens. If there's some sort of communication problem, its urgent to keep talking preferentially with a genuine translator, with no preconceived ideas (if its possible)

Poor you, if you are lack of ideas and ideals.... but poorer if you have put trust in bad leaders.

The Greek Solution

To B or not to B - King

if everything was as simple as music..... there are persons who perhaps should be Presidents, Ministers, Kings, and unfortunately are not. Today the living King of blues left us, with the burden of so many blues lyrics that life brought to him and to many other outhere.

Culture is a value to be treasured, governments should definitely pay more attention to it.

Long live the King.

Eg(g)o

Mental note ... to remind myself that easter, should be a time for reflection and refrain consumption voracity.... we really can't tell what is beneath our skin until we get to the next layer.... at this onion peeling like lifetime, where each layer is taken faster than the previous, there's seems to be an amorphous rules set for humans, that more than ever, doesn't seem to fit  or adapt easily to person mundane needs. Being or remaining original not easy due to constant marketing bombing (almost) all over;  Just get real.

POeTRY day - Black old death

Black old Death

It smells like mold here

My unrestless thin fingers

Carved through my skin

With swiveling eyes in fear.

Perhaps I didn’t care

For the burning body

That alone left its soul

Lied in the misty despair.

It took a long while

Until the black cloak

Covered my sight

As concealing my smile.

Patiently felt my bones to walk

And shacked up the dust

Brought from the deep

Where voices slept scream and talk

Who was that unknown shadow?

The worst seek nightmare?

Or merely a passenger fellow?

That simply stood and stare.

I flew over and around

Felt against my face a breeze

And drops of blood I found

They were thoughts I squeeze

From a cold freezing night

That insisted to come in a dream

At the dawn over the light

As a black mask in Venice stream.

Through such oil dark paint

I let it join and sing for me

For nothing: just sound and faint

As an owl, I waited and intent see.

A view over a journey

Time

As Aristoteles foresighted, in my personal point of view, and as a conclusion, all citizens should have, by default, an highly degree of freedom and for that should be responsible and their leaders as well. The problem is that we can't have unbalanced weights in the same scale. Lets take tyranny forms/shapes in any way, mostly have resulted in decayed societies; Even the greatest empires didn't last, because at some point someone lost their focus on what was essential at that time, being that efforts on technology development, army defense, or leisure. Whats the point of having power in the hands if that  sames hands are full of dirt and disrespect for the basics.
I don't believe in fairy tales, but todays disproportions can only bring suffering (.... ) Drucker (management consultant) seen it in the industry context, where he discoursed about the huge salary gaps between workers at a same organization in the XX century, that would undermine the path of such unit and hence, globally, societies. ( and this just one bit of an issue....)
So what could be done? How to teach someone to refrain its power and greed desires, if even the controlling institutions can't assume their role and  mostly have doubtful and promiscuous relations with their pairs. By the way, what is a modern society? Where do go democracies? Are citizens aware enough to get empowered to be heard?


Even the great leader and visionary has to be humble to see by the citizens eyes.

EU ( means I in Portuguese )

New changes on the way, as new thinkers get inpowered. (lets take Greek example)
What is the meaning of such changes? what will this bring to people?
I really don't have a formed opinion about Syriza (far left wing greek party); for what
i've seen in the news, i'm not very keen on someone that promises to break international
commitments.
One could question if present economy models are society/state sustainable,
or deeper, if markets should control much of societies (this is just a personal conviction) .... but...
couldn't there be some new good ideas to make persons independent of such exploiters?

My true billion dollar question would be "what would be a credible alternative, that could develop economy without jeopardizing people's wishes and requirements?" - well, this would demand at least an honest answer.

I believe that this will have repercussions on EU countries, some early followers will have their chance to call themselves to the process where some populism will prevail, nevertheless of the major buzzwords they have.
Austerity has many faces.... if by one side there are public/private overweight on spending, over credit, by the other controlling institutions, markets, banks and other .... let this happen and it was under the legal umbrella. This promiscuous relation between give and take should be balanced ....
Well mentalities have to change....current rules are not enough and sin for being arrested by old fashioned models.
I vote favourably for economic development to achieve peoples wishes (general growth, better wages, employment, education, healthcare, protection to unprotected elderly, children and disabled), but no citizen should be arrested for its supposed good demands.
Watching the overall scene and  north european countries behaviour.... more then ever EU will have the Portuguese meaning of "I", the selfish optic side of the europeans.... which in fact is the opposite of what the European project should be..... as i've said before true leaders wanted.....badly!

FREEDOM V2.0

2015, ARE YOU THERE?

it seems that a new year began ... there are some uncertainties on the way
such as oil and currencies balance, critic politic and diplomatic affairs and decisions are on schedule. USA has become independent from middle east oil, and is now exporting, also unfortunately to europe.... they still can't figure a way to safely drive EU... a bunch of countries that can't stick together as a sole institution/ nation.... will never have the strength to set their international agenda.... neither the resources....at least will take too much time and money.

So much more standardized ways of thinking are expected ....... hope this doesn't affect the innovators and entrepreneurs!

WELCOME 2015 - forecast for 2015 (see also 2014)

1st people are more aware-- social networks and new media support are spreaded ... more than ever.... spread of knowledge or stupidity.

2nd these same people for themselves realise more that 

can't rely and be so states/ government dependents -- new movements that can be citizens genuine representatives are on the way and be shaped by left and right wingers (.....?)

3rd New players are creating their agenda and with it societies will have to adapt to it, for instance "new" foreign languages teaching - my 14 year old niece asked my opinion if she should select mandarin or german as 2nd language... so this is a fact.

4th New tech advances in hardware (nanotech advances) and augmented reality will bring new breakthrough opportunities in how people relate with machines  and with each other. Increasing tailored made productive systems.

--- sure... we can 3d print almost everything ... thats an huge advance in product development.

5th There are also some uncertainties in what consumption concerns. --- Can't figure if BRICS can sustain world economic grow.... corruption undermine the path (for all present societies) and can easily change BRICS to brics

all in all .....i'm still pessimist .... bah..... to me :P

CASTLES - a little thought

You can access this topic from the following link:

http://issuu.com/gallardosantini/docs/castles_uk.docx/1?e=6341572/10710238

all the world .... happy holiday time

May all your wishes come true! 

Word (wordossaurius).... the values extinction

"you have my word"
"lets handshake"
"i promise..."

This could have several readings, and of course everyone (depending on its environment)
has its own conception, but to keep it simple, although it can have different contexts,
i'm referring to the business one... its incredible how easy it is nowadays, to change commitments under the promise, or the "word" for it..... so it is worth very little.... even from the people that you can actually know, for instance friends.... (or supposed ones)....
yes to those ones who like to stab each other in the back....guess what? you can go all to mars, or to the Mariana Trench!
At the end the result is pretty much the same, which is the break of commitment....I guess its alike in any picture.... politics ... deals.... you name it.... of course its a jungle.... but i hate to see "predators eating their own cubs"..... watch your back...

Bubble breaker

i just remember when bubbles only represented to me summer water soap cups and with it to make floating empty thoughts which could fly high and high..... though it has been a time since that has happened, the bubbles seem to perpetue under several shapes. Lets take Roubini "Doom" analyst bubble.... according his own predictions,  2016 will be the stock  market crash year... because of the public debt "thought" that flown so high that, as other bubbles, it explodes in stratosphere. Is difficult to accept, but the gears just rolled free, there's possibly no mechanism that can oppose to the path of a crash... (personally i thought that it would happen sooner).
So, how to grow GDP in such a way that you could sustainably spare, to pay debt, or how to create enough commodities as royalties that you don't need to increase production, but rather only recognized added value for what you've already have, in the short term? I really can't figure how, but the "wild card" named corruption (the lack of it, actually) would certainly produce strong results in the most severe foresights / scenarios.
At the end, all "PIGS" or not, like to play in their own mud....

Design

The question about design,  I may say, it's about its objectives... design of politics, strategy, process, methods, auto, furniture .....whatever; And one point that remains transversal to it all, is creativity, rather being towards functional or "look" purpose.
What happens is that nowadays there's, in my opinion for sure, much more looks purposes than functional ones. So i could simply conclude that the lack of creativity lead the reasonable thoughts towards the looks and not the functions, having actual politics as example , a lot of it are just fait divers, fireworks. But what has constrained creativity? Does environment issues influence the way to inpower creation hence design ? Sure it does. Surrounding factors do influence the way our thoughts flow rather being noisy or not. So the way a country is being directioned, can be strategically leaded regardless the amount of noisy, or foggy "stuff" ?  So do designers, should be and stay as much as possible independent from the "world"? Perhaps, if that conducts to inspiring thoughts.... and that should be treasured, as i see it, it doesn't occur so often... look at europe for instance....

searching for intelligence signs.....

"After  (....) years of searching the skies for signs of intelligence beyond Earth..." 
- ah ah ah- this is too presumptuous....try to find any in earth first .... that would be an hard challenge!
All of this media fanaticism and pseudo regulated markets.... there is hardly a way to escape from the so called modern society's web.

Citizens-Interest Groups,Lobbying - Politics - Laws - Citizens

this closed circuit trends to lead to few persons interests.... which might not be representative, but still somehow legitim. 
This circuit could be in did, a good thing if you considered that the intentions  of these groups were "pure", or at least far from egocentric needs and feels.

Its like taking our own medic prescription knowing that the side effects are no good. So, how to introduce true values at this well oiled gear machine? Are there so many blind sheeps, that simply prefer to accept their path as dogmatic with no alternative? ("please, cheat me 'cause i like it so badly"!) Or are citizens just so arrogant to the point to think that they own the truth and dominate all info already available.....

evolution is a strange way to cross by, but ignore it, is even stranger....

Engineering...

We've been watching interesting evolution throughout the years, but none, yet, have
been capable to answer the ultimate(s) human desires, which can typically possibly be....

who's the creator
where do we came from
where do we heading to
can we live forever
are we "alone" in the universe
... and much other

of course and although there are lots of multi level research, it all serves the purpose of cumulative experiences towards awareness (i think) and to keep us also distracted during our small but hopefully interesting journey.

We are so small regarding all universe events, that makes me feel annoyed watching everyday world news or mundane events. I understand that societies are complex and overlap these "tiny" pseudo philosophic questions.
We live in a engineered world as seen by Messer Leonard Da Vinci, but ready to be sold at any cost, with strength of the Marketing (well oiled up) machines;

I can effortly live by the rules in which our average societies so far conquered or evoluted to, but that doesn't mean i can't go on and keep question it, or even propose to modified it, although everyone has to realise that when it comes to it..... the basic laws stand i.e. we are just in raw state jungles, and no philosophy questions apply. Knowledge is everything as i've stated before...


at the end..... and surely mostly.... who gives a F$€$ ?

The True Scotch

What is better? Single (malted) or blended... is it a matter of taste?
Perhaps the inner tradition, the subjacent culture and history, the memory preservation.
Surely the facts are always supportive to understand the state... of art.
But rather than discussing a state of art or even trend, it would be much better to achieve an ideal...
Is it to risky to go for an ideal?

The True Scotch .... Only for the ideal.

:)

Bankless

Much i've been telling about essential values that should make part of our lives, or deeper .. written in our DNA. Unfortunately there are purposely awful mistakes and misunderstandings that keep the world constantly beating itself for some of the same challenges. the early 20s crisis took some of its causes from political and economic power and greed. Although todays markets interdependency and business speed are definitely a key to prospect and foresight, one must not comprise society stability based on fast and extremely high return rates. What makes a market truly volatil is in my opinion the undefinition and lack of insight  key regulations. Undefinition, because of the obscurant products and how they are achieved (does an end justify the means???). This can get expression in every market, but it gets clearer when it comes to financial systems/ products. We can negociate statistical products that are only numbers, no added value here, and no one seems to deeply control it. So there's a black thick cloud where some gets access and makes unimaginable fortunes. Please notice that i'm not against huge fortunes, i'm against corruption in any kind and shape to obtain it, and in the way to make such fortunes that innocents must be sacrificed for the sake of a bunch of thieves. Every average bank deals with offshore accounts to launder toxic (poisonous i may say) deals, funds hence financial products, and bankers who own it have their assets safely hidden in several countries... So where is regulation for these cases? Although this is widely "accepted", politicians are very tied to this matter and so the system hypocrisy and promiscuity doesn't allow to go much further than the state of art. Is just not fair that so many people and nations are sacrificed in the name of GREED. I cant believe that there were toxic assets in some banks (Lehman Brothers, Greek banks, Bank of Scotland, BPN, BES, BPP), because they all practice the same game and deal with the same procedures.... if they are all toxic... lets contain them and spray a bit over their heads so at least they can regain a bit of consciousness....

So here it goes.... again!

Arbeit machts .... Arbeit mach nichts

Work, labour, job ...  does it really make on us a purpose?
Since ever men had to face challenges in order to sustain itself and in time learned to apply
its knowledge to get profit about it; initially with goods exchanges and latter by means of time measurement, and  specialized applied working force... (W=fxd [Joule])...
So does work, gives you purposes, and strength to carry on, helps you to get focused on your life (and mundane) objectives, makes you independent, or a prisoner, gives you an everyday burden?
 Are we near from the 80's kraftwerk "we are the robots" or from the tom petty  "free fallin"?  ....
We are just vague sand in a sudden wind blow... so how much your work absorves you?

HOPE

hope, faith, belief .... are some of the many ways that keep people pursuing their objectives.... of course the need is the outmost compelling trigger that enhances your strength. What if the need has external causes, and are driven to achieve less noble  targets? What if the need isn't really a need, but a mere greed; What if the world was ruled in the same wrong direction, and anyone (societies) couldn't see, because was accepted almost as dogma, as been told so by the current leaders.... too philosophic? perhaps....
perhaps i'm wrong.

the EURO thing

There's something in the way that simply puzzles me;
For instance, this last sunday there has been elections for the european parliament, yet,
so few subjects have been discussed about europe.
As so many have wrote about it, these are mere local intermediate elections.
Lets see: there hasn't been public debate, the usual marketing flyers are composed by internal slogans, public appearances of the main candidates, are just fait divers ... its a mind game, which citizens don't approve at all. If you look at the results will notice that the winner with majority is : abstention.  With a mean participation of 43,09%  in the whole of the EU countries thats too low, facing the advance of some radical left and right wings movements. So what to do now? Do we want to take the (peace!!!)  destiny in our hands or maintain continuous distance between citizens and politics? Being european, means achieving consensus within a long term true strategic project, in order to keep the countries bonded..... so where's the glue that stick this together? has someone run out of glue????  The euro flag should mean something ..... otherwise is just some blue scarf....with random spreaded and alone (lost in the universe) stars or even "black dwarfs".....

Mindless.....

Mindless

What a fade in and out

All this noisy rumble

All this speechless shout

That makes crawl and stumble

What a fall in and out

That wipes away the mean

Because our body's so heavy

And   mind so unclean

And  paradise so steady

Floating above the water steam

Where  golden  fishes  plunge  in dance

In the white whispers  at night

Where the moon hopes her chance

For the wind to blow light

No one's there to enjoy the paint

Just tiny waves of reflection

Just the dark glow faint

Echoes of laughs intersection

Among the listless  warm breeze

That rides towards universe  infinity

There are random thoughts release

That flow throughout pure insanity.

Gallardo

an Euro vision...

I'm no one to judge .... but did you heard about the eurovision song contest?
Who has won that night?, did the singer won? Did his marketeer won? Who really own this winning?
Should this stage act, be so political as it is ... ? OK,  at the end, it can be what spectators, audience, media want, so should we be entitled to question what criteria could be placed to evaluate such contest.... because this is starting to look like everything else.... lots of rules, no effects .... all misunderstood... and big shots on the loose, lots of it...  this are just fire works...... let the circus continue.

NO TO ....

no to racism or discrimination of any kind

SMILE

FREEDOM

This is the time where citizens should be more aware than ever.

Are we forget that freedom implies a true responsibility? Have we been responsible enough

to deserve that "freedom" or are we just mere audience of "tv shows"?

A true change (revolution) should start in citizens minds, hence thoughts, then in anything else,
so I bow to the ones that are strong enough these days to leave their comfort zone, to achieve
something better.

as i said before o conhecimento é liberdade, knowledge is freedom, conocimiento es libertad, connaissance c'est liberté, Wissen ist Freiheit, знание это свобода,  知識是自由

(btw these sentences above have nothing to do with political ideology, since i can't recognize myself in any)

Education (bad and good)

How does the education influence or determines habits and behaviours in a future,
namely in the labor market?
does it comes randomly along your all life or does it grows and then matures by itself, and becomes
obsolete as time passes?

Perhaps its a mix of variables that determines this equation result (at least is my opinion)
Really it seems not easy to define methods that are consistent through times and specially
that follows our evolution as a society. It appears to be the information (since we are at that era) that
now, for instance, commands the destinys of education, since is a strong surrounding environment  variable.
If you go back in 80's and were a teenager at that time (or search 80's info ah ah ah ) probably you'll check that your surrounding behaviours were the connections with people, and experiences that you had ( teachers, family, working, home .... ).
If you hopefully have had good teachers or mentors (or even if life for itself taught you) during your path, then probably the odds of getting a "bright" professional future increase greatly. Then what? - you may ask... well, then you'll influence even grately the ones that come behind you, mentoring them as well....

So, who in the world as taught this in power generation of people, that seem to be so unaware of what citizens wants?????, (besides themselves of course) meaning: requirements, desires......

oh by the way.... educated people are not so easy to control.... Pixies at "trompe le mond" album in Umass track have a peculiar vision about it...
