BLUEPRINT - no sentido de cópia de projeto (lembrando do tempo em que era feito no mimeógrafo e, portanto, azul) - mas querendo também dizer PLANO / PROJETO (também de ação).
Lembrei também de:   to be left out in the blue = ficar de fora
Residents left out in the blue on city greening

Is there another way to see where I left off or am I left out in the blue?

BUSKING

intr.v., busked, busk·ing, busks.
To play music or perform entertainment in a public place, usually while soliciting money.
"PLACES TO GO BUSKING
        I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about busking for people that want to go busking for the first time, people that busk and are looking for new spots and also for the people that have to listen to our crap day in day out and just long for someone else to busk there for a change....kind of like and spot swap idea really
         I'll post here all the places I have been busking and how good it is to busk so you can see the hot spots and the not spots to busk....
         Tonbridge - a really cool spot to busk is in the angel walk opposit superdrug. its perfectly legal and no licence is needed. you'll make good money here and all the surrounding shops nomally come out and make requests and leave you something except the hairdressers opposite. just ignore them.
        Tunbrige wells - another great place to busk especially if your music is very different. there is more cultural awareness here than tonbridge and you more likely to get a good response. i went busking here with fleassy with a drum and didge and it went down really well.
        Brighton - Brighton can be a really good place to busk but you have to be very picky on the time of day. there are two main places ive busked here. one is in the south lanes where two pathes meet at a t junction by the pub. Here is the favorite spot but make sure you go into the shops and ask how long you can busk for first as this spot is used by lots of buskers and they get a lot! as long as you play by thier rules then its all good. try to avoid days where is hot and sunny because it seems that people wont have the time of day for you.......fair enough i suppose
        The best busking times ive found to busk in anyplaces is between 12 and 3. this seems to be because its lunchtime and people have loads of change from their consumer culture lunches and want to throw their money around.....who am I to complain...
        I also busked in Staines yesterday and the day before. not actually that bad of a spot. £15 for 30 - 40 mins sounds pretty good for me  even the chavs were dancing and nodding and giving the thumbs up!"

LEARNING

        Value your listening and reading time at roughly ten times your talking time.This will assure you that you are on a course of continuous learning and self-improvement. (Gerald McGinnis)
        Those who graduate today and stop learning tomorrow, are uneducated the day after. (Newton Baker)
         I've never learned anything while I was talking. (Larry King)
        It's what you learn after you think you know it all that counts. (Kim Hubbord)

A tidy desk is a tidy mind [?!?]

        They say a tidy desk is a tidy mind - but do you need either to run a successful business? Or can a down and dirty approach sometimes help you clean up?
        Most of us seem to think that successful people have a clear vision - and a clear desk. But we also associate messiness with creativity - and successful business leaders usually need plenty of that. It seems that tidy minds and tidy desks don't necessarily go together, after all.

ROSEBUD

Cidadão Kane é supostamente baseado na vida do magnata do jornalismo William Randolph Hearst (publicamente, Welles negava), e conta a história de Charles Foster Kane, um menino pobre que acaba se tornando um dos homens mais ricos do mundo.
            O filme inicia com a sua morte, momentos antes da qual pronuncia a palavra "Rosebud". Após dias de sensacionalismo em cima da notícia de sua morte, o jornalista Jerry Thompson é enviado por seu chefe para investigar a vida de Kane, a fim de descobrir o sentido de sua última palavra, a qual ninguém sabia. Entrevistando pessoas do passado de Kane, o jornalista mergulha na vida de um homem solitário, que desde a infância é obrigado a seguir a vontade alheia. Ninguém a seu redor importa-se com Kane, que busca por meio da aquisição de bens e pessoas a adoração das pessoas.
            Ao final, Thompson, após a exaustiva investigação da vida de Kane através de entrevistas, se vê incapaz de descobrir o significado da palavra, concluindo que "Charles Foster Kane foi um homem que possuiu tudo o que quis, e depois perdeu tudo. Talvez Rosebud seja algo que ele nunca tenha possuído, ou algo que tenha perdido.". Ao final do filme, o significado de "rosebud" é revelado.

Cada um tem o seu “Rosebud”...

CAPITÃO

Comer de capitão. Você sabe o que é isso?
Capitão: Porção de alimento que se amassa com farinha e leva à boca com a mão
          “...o guia tuaregue convida o repórter para jantar em sua casa um prato típico, arroz integral com carneiro desfiado. Sem talheres à vista, o repórter se mostrou atrapalhado, até ser instruído a comer com a mão, fazer um bolinho de comida com a ponta dos dedos e levá-lo à boca. O fino da etiqueta tuaregue.”
        “Não se faz capitão com comida ensopada, macarrão, salada... Tem de ter uma base moldável. O melhor capitão se fazia com arroz, feijão, farofa, carne moída e couve. De cada coisa um pouquinho, que os dedos ágeis iam puxando, agregando, amassando. Os mais aplicados davam um acabamento na palma da mão: ora alongado como um quibe, ora oval, ora redondo. O bolinho habilmente formado vinha rico de sabores e chegava à boca com a ajuda dos cinco dedos irmanados.”

ET MAINTENANT

(Gilbert Becaud)

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

New gTLD (Generic Top Level Domains) for the Internet

On the 20th June 2011, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), announced its decision to allow applications for generic Top Level Domains – gTLDs. In essence, this decision opens the floodgates of domain name creativity; this is no longer a <.com> world, restricted by locality (<.br>, <.uk>) by classification (<.edu>, <.mil>) or by company structure (<.com>, <.org>, <.biz>). The revolution has begun! Own a restaurant? Apply for <.food>, <.menu>, <.eat>, <.dine>. Run your own clinic? Apply for <.med>, <.doc>, <.cure>. In the adventure industry? Look at <.snow>, <.ski>, <.dive>!

The new gTLD process has been a work in progress – but the finishing touches are now being made, and the world is preparing for the emergence of a revolutionised internet directory.

DESGASTE

If you look it up in a dictionary you will find it means “wear”, or “wastage”, or “attrition”, or “wear and tear”. But in the political context, it means something like “erosion of trust”. If the president sacks a corrupt minister, this provokes an erosion of trust among political allies.

DISCLOSE, EXPOSE AND DIVULGE

All refer to making something visible which had previously not been visible
       disclose = to make something known publicly that had previously been kept secret or hiddenShe signed an agreement not to disclose company trade secrets.
disseminate =
       divulge = to disclose or reveal information that would normally be kept secretGenerally speaking, a bank is not permitted to divulge information about its customers.
      expose = to show publicly; to place on public view; to revealThe newspaper article exposed corruption in the country's two major political parties.
        The first one, disclose, usually is quite neutral and it refers to making public a factual matter. For instance, it is often said that "the seller failed to disclose hidden defects in the foundation of the house"
     We can also say that "she did not want to disclose the name of her lover".
     We often talk about the fact that "doctors are not supposed to disclose any information about their patients".
     In contrast, expose is not neutral but it usually implies some sort of scandal. So, for instance, we talk about "exposing corruption" or we talk about somebody who shows themselves, makes a part of themselves visible which is usually covered, for instance, "the paedophile exposed himself to children in the park". In this case he exposes his nakedness. We also talk about being exposed to liability and that means not covered or protected by some sort of a shield, for instance "a company was exposed to liability because it did not have any insurance coverage".
       The third word we have is divulge and divulge means making known very private, deeply sensitive information. We're revealing information which would normally be kept very secret. So, for instance, we talk about "divulging state secrets" for instance "an ambassador can be in trouble for divulging the state secrets that he has dealt with"
     or "police officers may not divulge the details of their undercover operations".
Now, two of these words have nouns that go with them, for instance, disclosure goes with disclose and exposure goes with expose. The word divulge has no noun. So we have to always construct our sentences to use a verb.
      For disclosure we would say, as we often do about contracts, "disclosure of confidential information is prohibited under the confidentiality clause of the contract"
      or for exposure we could say that  "she was prosecuted for indecent exposure because she appeared on the stage naked".

“FALTA DE COMPARECIMENTO”

Deveres matrimoniais
         Francês é condenado a pagar indenização de £8,500 a ex-esposa por falta de "comparecimento" durante o casamento, segundo o jornal britânico The Telegraph.

Frenchman ordered to pay wife damages for lack of sex

A Frenchman has been ordered to pay his ex-wife £8,500 in damages for failing to have enough sex with her during their marriage.
         The 51-year-old man was fined under article 215 of France's civil code, which states married couples must agree to a "shared communal life".
         A judge has now ruled that this law implies that "sexual relations must form part of a marriage".
         The rare legal decision came after the wife filed for divorce two years ago, blaming the break-up on her husband's lack of activity in the bedroom.
          A judge in Nice, southern France, then granted the divorce and ruled the husband named only as Jean-Louis B. was solely responsible for the split.
          But the 47-year-old ex-wife then took him back to court demanding 10,000 euros in compensation for "lack of sex over 21 years of marriage".
          The ex-husband claimed "tiredness and health problems" had prevented him from being more attentive between the sheets.
          But a judge in the south of France's highest court in Aix-en-Provence ruled: "A sexual relationship between husband and wife is the expression of affection they have for each other, and in this case it was absent.
          "By getting married, couples agree to sharing their life and this clearly implies they will have sex with each other."
