Fico a olhar para as notícias mais relevantes da última semana. Não, não estou falar da reeleição como líder do PSD de Pedro Passos Coelho, com 95,5% dos votos (ainda se queixam dos congressos comunistas!). Vamos lá... 1 - O Governo autoriza a TAP e a Caixa Geral de Depósitos a manterem salários, ao contrário das reduções impostas às outras empresas públicas. http://www.dn.pt/inicio/opiniao/interior.aspx?content_id=2357524&seccao=Pedro+Tadeu&tag=Opini%EF%BF%BDo+-+Em+Foco&page=-1

obvious

http://obviousmag.org/ Manuais de instruções foram feitos para levar alguém a atingir um objetivo: montar um móvel, utilizar corretamente um eletrodoméstico ou executar de maneira eficiente uma ação qualquer. Mas e quando eles são retirados de seu contexto original? Vaka Valo mostra em sua série Dream Diary que o surreal está em todo lugar, até em algo tão objetivo quanto um manual de instruções.

OCDE STATS

The series on annual hours actually worked per person in total employment presented in this table for all 30 OECD countries are consistent with the series retained for the calculation of productivity measures in the OECD Productivity database (www.oecd.org/statistics/productivity/compendium). However, there may be some differences for some countries given that the main purpose of the latter database is to report data series on labour input (i.e. total hours worked) and also because the updating of databases occur at different moment of the year. Hours Hours actually worked per person in employment are according to National Accounts concepts for 16 countries: Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Korea, Norway, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.

Dear Photograph

http://dearphotograph.com/ Dear Photograph, I found this photo of my mother’s parents while looking through her most beloved things after she had suddenly passed away. My grandfather, who I never met, had written on the back of the photo; ” Yoyita, every time you see this photo remember an unforgettable Sunday for me.”

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Bizarre Libyan Muammar Gaddafi Postage Stamps | Public Intelligence

http://publicintelligence.net/bizarre-libyan-muammar-gaddafi-postage-stamps/ These bizarre and fascinating postage stamps are from Libya over the last twenty years. They depict a variety of different versions of a fist-pumping Muammar Gaddafi improving science, the arts, medicine, school children, associating with Nelson Mandela, somehow aiding what appears to be Native Americans, commanding ships, fighting wars, all while being followed by the sun and giant birds. In some of the stamps commemorating the “Libyan National Games”, Libyan athletes can be seen playing a good game of tug of war and leapfrog.
A UE é agora como um archeiro que descobre que já não tem flechas na aljava. Qualquer pessoa com uma noção de história, e que olhe para a União Europeia agora, tem razões para estar receoso. Enfrentamos uma tripla crise: económica e social em alguns países da zona euro, na sequência da subida em espiral das taxas de juro da sua dívida; em segundo lugar, temos a insolvência não-assumida em bancos da Europa central (só a nova diretora do FMI pôs o dedo na ferida num discurso recente, pois pode agora dizer em voz alta aquilo que calava antes, como ministra das finanças da França); por último, mas não menos importante, temos a quase total paralisia política no seio da União. Vou tentar ser cauteloso: estas três coisas juntas não costumam dar bom resultado. Uma bancarrota da Grécia, cada vez mais possível, desencadeará o pagamento dos famosos credit default swaps sobre a sua dívida. http://ruitavares.net/textos/onde-estamos/

Isn’t it delightful how geek culture works? During my Christmas shopping last year, I stumbled into a favorite little pop culture shop in Little Collins Street in Melbourne which is well known for its comprehensive stocking of all things Lovecraftian. I was looking for some stocking fillers for the kids; instead I walked out with [...] The combination of a cloud service and verification that does not involve sharing data has allowed one company to provide a true bumper-to-bumper insurance policy, reports Victor Cruz.
