A Portuguese Love

You may wonder why I am hosting a Fotolia Coupon Code giveaway on my blog. Usually, I promote Portuguese products. Fotolia offered me the possibility to try it for free and this is my review of it. I really enjoyed my experience at the site. One thing I discovered is that Fotolia accepts photos from professionals and amateurs. That’s positive as it adds variety and makes photo prices more accessible. If you live in Europe, know that the Euro is accepted as the currency. Paypal can be used. It has photographers and designers contributing and I got excited about it and thought of sending some vector files too and earning some cash. They even provide training that you must follow before uploading any work. As they state somewhere on the site, "detailed attention is given to the quality, copyright, and editing of files." I found great photos. I can say that I found what I needed. I did an accurate search for photos so I can say the search mechanism worked for me perfectly. I ...

Sunday Portugal will have a legislative election. José Sócrates the ex-Prime Minister was forced to resign after six years of mismanagement. President called for elections. For the last few months, people have been coping with unfair social measures and austerity budgets one after the other. We saw the biggest political demonstration of displease ever happening on the streets this year. A few are richer and more powerful, and a few are holding privileges, keeping the best jobs, and pulling the strings. The middle class is ruined. The number of poor people is rising. All those who are responsible for this situation should be held accountable. And this includes the ex-Prime Minister. Can’t understand how he was re-elected as Secretary-General of his party, the PS, after resigning from his job in Government. For me, he’s discredited beyond recovery.  Not all the situation we’re in is his responsibility. Europe's construction as it was dreamed of is trembling. The market shap...

June 4, 2011. Drawing Day will be held on the first Saturday of June each year. Due to the various time zone differences across the world, many events start Friday and are open all weekend. To join in on this event is simple - as simple as picking up a pencil (or mouse) and drawing. However, the most important part is sharing your art with the world. You do not need to be at a physical event to participate. Draw wherever you like on paper, or on your computer. We just ask that you then scan or take your digital drawing and share it with the world. Using one or all of these options: - Upload digital or scanned images of your drawings to the Drawing Day website - Upload to any of our participating online art communities - Upload to our Facebook page (this is where all artists are encouraged to post drawings on Facebook) - Draw online using our free online drawing tool to submit drawings Whether you're a professional illustrator or you just enjoy the occasional scribble, you can ...

We live the oddest days. For a normal person that lives by the rules, it’s difficult to make sense of some behaviors. When I was young and attending high school boys had fist fights in the space outside. Some would watch and do nothing; the old ones may try to put an end to the fight. I remember broken noses and bleeding on the cement floor. Boys will always engage in fights. Girls also had their share of grievances and acts of vengeance. But it was another game. Violence has a number of complex factors that contribute to it. Violence at an early age is choking. What kind of human beings are we raising? The education of children and young people is demanding. Many face hard living conditions. But my grandmother lived through the War times and she and the community where she lived endured hardship, yet, she never told me about significant tales of violence in her neighborhood. Parents delegate their responsibility in school but a school cannot substitute for the role of parents. The ...
