Caldeirada à Portuguesa
Câmara paga fuga de Felgueiras, Correio Manhã de 29-11-2007 Fátima Felgueiras custeou a sua fuga para o Brasil quando ignorou o mandado do Tribunal da Relação de Guimarães que determinava a sua prisão preventiva, com o dinheiro da autarquia de Felgueiras. Os custos do seu advogado brasileiro, Paulo Ramalho, que evitou a prisão preventiva e consequente extradição, alegando a dupla nacionalidade da autarca, foram pagos pelos cofres da Câmara. O último pagamento foi feito já neste ano e totaliza 22 mil euros.

Kiva.org
After reading an article in a Portuguese newspaper I became acquainted with this website which allows common people like you and me to help other through micro credit....
The site is kiva.org
He is part of their presentation:
Well... maybe not!!!
The site is kiva.org
He is part of their presentation:
"What We Doin www.kiva.org/about/what
We let you loan to the working poor
Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back."
29.11.2007Oferecer um microempréstimo:A primeira coisa a fazer é escolher o projecto que quer financiar. Quando abre o site Kiva.org há alguns projectos que aparecem logo na página de abertura, mas é mais divertido fazer uma pesquisa. Antes de mais, pode escolher o género da pessoa a quem quer emprestar. O microcrédito - lançado pelo economista do Bangladesh Muhammad Yunus, que foi distinguido com o prémio Nobel da Paz em 2006 - tem tradições de empréstimo a mulheres e sabe-se que elas são melhores pagadoras que eles. Em seguida, pode escolher o sector do projecto, da agricultura à saúde, da educação à construção. E pode ainda escolher a região do mundo e outros critérios, além da comum pesquisa por palavras-chave. Num site onde os emprestadores do Kiva trocam ideias (kivafriends.org) avisa-se que o empréstimo pode criar dependência - pode ser difícil não emprestar a mais um projecto e mais um, principalmente quando se pensa que 25 dólares são neste momento... menos de 17 euros. A quantia emprestada pelos utilizadores do Kiva, em média, são 100 euros. Ainda que o empréstimo aconselhado seja 25 euros, é possível emprestar mais do que isso. Mas pode não pôr todos os seus ovos no mesmo cesto, como qualquer investidor prudente. O Kiva propõe-lhe também uma funcionalidade útil nesta época de Natal: certificados de oferta. Trata-se de depósitos que pode fazer no Kiva em nome de um amigo. Depois imprime o certificado (onde aparece uma palavra-chave) e oferece esse certificado no Natal. Quem recebe a prenda pode emprestar a quem quiser - e reaver o dinheiro depois do empréstimo pago.

What am I doing wrong?
QUESTION
What am I doing wrong?
Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy.
I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all.
Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?
Here are my questions specifically:
- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms
- What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my feelings
- Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?
- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there?
- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?
- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY
Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth.
ANSWER
I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament.
Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it.
Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!
So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!
So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.
Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful"
as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout.
By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.
With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way.
Classic "pump and dump."
I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.
Well... maybe not!!!

Vienna and back
Hi everyone
One of the interesying details of working in Science is having international meetings / conferences abroad...
This time it was ICBIC, a conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry.
It was quite interesting and of course a good opportunity for spending a weekend away and visiting 3 cities: Vienna, Salzburg and Munich!
My personal opinion is that Vienna is a quite beautiful city but had a very imperial influence, so it somehow reminded me Paris. Salzburg fascinated me. It feels like a more traditional city where Mozart and "The Sound of Music" are mandatory references...
Munich is a city that grown as the capital of Bavaria. The rulers influence was huge, but the city managed to retain its historic weight despite the very large economic power (there are plenty BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Porsche 's around...)
As usual I leave the pics to make you a bit jealous (or not)...
Vienna
Havnig lunch @ Vienna University Hall
A view from new Vienna
Having dinner by the Danube
Catching a train to Vienna
Stephansdom (Vienna's cathedral)
Apfel Strudell of course!!!
Who's the guy in the statue, hu...?
Plenary lecture at Votiv Church
Conference dinner in a Heuringer
Salzburg
Morzart's birth house
a view to the fortress
a bench by Salzaach
Munich
Neues rathaus
Beer and sausage of course!!!
