MY FINAL PROJECT. PART 1

'm so busy this month, i have a deadline to give in my personal project. What is it about? It's about the line, just to say something honestly Because the line Can Be everything.

So is my personal project rebranding to old French brand. Jean Patou Did you Know? It Was a French designer in 20's and 30's, the alter ego of Chanel. But we know That Chanel That is more famous Obviously him.

I am very busy this month, but try to take time to tell you what is happening. I left just a month to complete and submit my final course project. The song, about the line. But of course online? can be line railway line of the horizon .. and things miiiiil more! In short, what I have proposed launching a French brand with history, just Jean Patou ! A designer from the 20 and 30 regarded as the alter ego of Coco Chanel.

So what i have to do is pick up the codes and the MOST important Influence of historical 20's essence to make the new Patou colection Spring / Summer 2013 . Anyway, The period i like is when to have dressed the famous tennis player Suzanne Lenglen in Wimbledon with a white silk skirt pliss under the knee with an sweetshirt sleeveless all in white. After His first contact with the sportswear world, I decided to start making clothes for casual, comfortable making Them. The dress code is white in Wimbledon so WAS is the leitmotif of my colection: making it all in white.

What I have done is to choose "their code" and its essence in order to enter into what would become the new Spring Summer collection 2013. What I like about him is the fact enter the "sportswear" between the 20's - 30's. Suzanne Lenglen was the Wimbledon championship when Patou made him his "dress" tennis skirt pleated silk were leaving the knees with a sleeveless jersey-jacket. It was from that moment when he began to develop this type of fashion conviritiendo their models in more practical and livable. Since the "dress code" Wimbledon is the target has been one of the leitmotifs of my collection. "ALL IN WHITE"

I think about Giovanna Battaglia : a "muse." I know she is common, pero i like the way she uses "basics" with Different prints and color-mixing with nice shoes and a lot of accessories.
What do you think? Do you feel I Should take someone else?

as "muse" (even that is not really muse) unless someone who identifies with the brand essence and you know who would dress in the clothes from your collection and seguirira being its own style. And who is it? VLADIMIR ROTFIELD's girlfriend (I'm still in shock) by way of combining clothes that are in the same pomp q.ue Adellorusso, if you have a cut and precise selection of fabrics and prints to introduce color or give result exotic, elegant and different. But do you think that perhaps should have chosen someone else?

This small village has an atmosphere I can not events described. It's just the way They live . This hand - made bags , the bread you buy hot and crispy while hearing the sound of the seawaves. Waking up with sunshine just as if it was the island from the film "Mamma Mia" . White and blue klein , how fashionistas !

This small village have dazzled me , has an essence that I can not describe. The baskets in hand, buying freshly baked bread, fresh fish ... mmm! And all this with the sun and listening to the waves!

Bulk Barn Protien Powder

Possible legislative opposition directory

To me it is very difficult not to refer to events that have been raising in recent days regarding the possibility that the legislative directory is in the hands of the opposition. Then take the opportunity to make some reflections on the subject, and incidentally revive this abandoned blog.

At first the picture does not appear to be positive: an alliance that does not have a common minimum program, except to establish the order for the rotation of seats to be distributed over the next three years, aims to control the legislative directory. It speaks of "promoting an agenda of consensus", but leave it for later: the cart before the horse. First, as I was knowing what you want to board positions, ie, what it wants power and not the reverse, first assume the charges and then see what it does. Here it is worth remembering also that only a few weeks ago, the former Minister of the Presidency, Mr. Marco Vargas, the opposition offered to build a consensus agenda for the two-month session that remained outstanding at that time, it was not possible to reach agreement by the deep divisions among the opposition parties. If it was not possible for two months, what can we expect for three years?.

must be said, however, it is natural that this is so, because the differences between these parties are apparently irreconcilable. Unless you are willing to be flexible ideological principles that have been so publicly and enthusiastically claimed by each of them. And it would be anecdotal if not because there are issues that really urge the country. For example, why Libertarians can reach agreement, PAC and Front in the theme of General Electricity Law? How to reconcile such divergent positions? Or does the answer to these questions is simply not to discuss these fundamental issues?

The net result of all this exercise could be to add one more obstacle to the already hindered government action. It's common sense pure and simple: not paid to the possibility of doing things that there is no communication between the executive and legislature. And this is not possible in this case because there are different interests, which are home between the opposition and the executive branch, which in turn derive equally disparate responsibilities. And this difference is merely the most difficult turn.

And then, of course, is the issue of consistency. How, after having said all that said, you can evaluate support groups that until now was said to have an insurmountable distance?. But that of course should be the concern of the supporters of each of these groups.

Hopefully, in the two weeks remaining for the election of deputies has directory that value with a sense of patriotism and, why not political, the weight of responsibility they might have in this episode. The country really grateful they are.

Is It Ok For Mothers To Masterbate Their Sons

Alberto Cortés and Ana Lorena Brenes

know Alberto Cortes, Director of the University Council of the UCR, now that I think, for more than 15 years, which is no small thing. We have almost never agreed on most issues, but I'm pretty sure has not been one time that our differences have been completed some high-sounding argument. Rather we are engaged in full discussion of humor and Pisgah, where it is normal that we end up laughing about something that ultimately had nothing to do with the original discussion.

remember a few days before the referendum on the FTA took part in a debate on the role of the press in this process, and what some imagined would be a heated exchange ended up being a discussion group where to the surprise of many, and Alberto I agree and disagree bit much, but within a framework of respect that I suspect must have disappointed many of the attendees.

This has been possible because we both understand that our differences, though large, are honest. In the book "Conversation in the Cathedral" by Mario Vargas Llosa, Zavalita, the main character, regrets not having the conviction that their comrades have left in their ideals, and this fills you with doubts about the sincerity of his militancy. Alberto no doubt and this has allowed a life of honest militancy based on a great social and political sensitivity. And that's why, because he has no doubts and thrown into the water, which sometimes makes mistakes. But there is always an ethical foundation in what he does, and that's something that I, that I think is wrong on many things, I can not help admiring him. Even if the failed censure Watson.
Ana Lorena Brenes
At the time I know more. Lorraine and I will forgive the familiarity that I could not even stop to use when we met her as Attorney and I as Minister-in addition to being the wife of one of my best friends is a professional anguish that I hear her talk because I realize that I do not know much, nor do I enjoy both, as I do as she knows and enjoys what he does. But also because without being a lawyer, I realize that what he says is based with a thoroughness that is only possible when you really know much about the matter of who is speaking. Lore listening to five minutes is sufficient to prove what I say.

For all this caught my attention that there are people with a surprising lightness is calling for the resignation of Ana Lorena from his position as Attorney General of the Republic because, some argue, the decision by the Attorney General to appeal the ruling of the Administrative Court on the subject Crucitas originates Lore received phone calls. Those who think, I'm sure, have not bothered to read the appeal by the Attorney General, where you will find a strong case and the product of a rigorous and objective analysis. Ana Lorena Brenes

is a strong advocate, honesty and integrity. If I were not convinced that there are grounds to do so, would never have appealed the ruling Crucitas. The proof is precisely the quality of the argument that was presented, and the reasons that she herself has tried to show, with his usual security, amidst the circus that has led to this whole issue. It would be worthwhile to tone down and pay attention. Maybe we all learn something

Lep Pain With Alcohol

of urban myths, censorship and some things more

A salad of topics:

myths and prejudices

easy: there are some things to be repeated often become absolute truths that undermine our perception of events social, political and economic. And I want to refer to some of the most widespread, as a contribution to enable clear that the reality is much more complex than can occur within 30 seconds of a news story on a television news or in 4000 characters in the print media.

For example, always speaks with great self-confidence levels of budget execution of public institutions as an unmistakable proof of its inefficiency, also in this country has become, through a conceptual extrapolation interested in synonymous corruption. But the fact is that non-implementation of budgets, many factors converge. It is certainly possible to find displeasure in a few public officials, but there are other elements that in most cases are the real culprits of the level of implementation of public budgets.

One is conceptual: the Comptroller General of the Republic there are only two states in the implementation of the budget process, budgeted and spent. But the truth is that there is a third state: committed. In many cases the government buys goods and services that do not pay until you get the products purchased. But these resources, even if not strictly "spent" are not available because they are committed to be used when obtaining goods and services purchased. We illustrate with an example: the purchase MOPT Bailey bridges but not paid until they reach the country, which may take several months. Meanwhile, the resources to pay the bridges are maintained in the coffers, even though they are no longer available, despite this, the Auditor General considers this amount as the budget is not executed and reported in such a way that seems to be a great inefficiency. But the truth is a bit more complex.

Second, institutions often receive resources in a time of year that they have no time to run. In the case of all taxes to fund specific programs and institutions, the amounts depend on the spin rate of collection, in some cases the bulk of what is collected is obtained in the second half, given the current legal system is virtually impossible to carry out acquisitions of some magnitude within 6 months. On the other hand he Ministry of Finance "mounts a horse" resources are scarce and when you turn the urgency usually first and accommodating others is the availability of resources. It also generates low levels of implementation, especially the municipalities, which have millions items from specific taxes.

Another myth, that I saw in the news: "public institution that purchased luxury cars for tours of its officials." Posted this news and spread the idea that public officials use institutional funds to unnecessary or undeserved luxuries. The truth is that the tenders for the vehicle purchase specifications typically do not include extras, but these things are added by suppliers as a way to make their offerings more attractive. So even if the institution has tendered the purchase of such a 4x4 vehicle up to 5 people and motor of at least 2500 cc, a supplier may, to sweeten the deal, offering luxury rings, radios with MP3 input, climate and stirrups, all without additional cost to the administration. And they do not because they want help, of course, but because they want to win the award and especially relationships with institutions that require more vehicles for their work. That is why in many cases public institutions end with a chuzos that seem too flashy, but not what the administration really tender.

Finally, a recurring myth that I do not understand how it still exists: Members receive no pension at the end of his term in the Legislature, unless they are entitled in any other regime. The four years in the Assembly, in light of a recent ruling by the Ministry of Labour, even serves to increase an existing pension, as some would have pensions former deputy of the National Teaching. But the truth is that no member will end his tenure as deputy to a pension of two and a half million colones for the rest of his life. If so, José María Villalta would be the nation's youngest pensioner.

About UCR incident-James Watson: For me the fact is relevant because it confirms to me something I have been claiming for some time. It's amazing that we have reached the point where a group of university officials believe they have sufficient grounds to determine what is acceptable and what is not for the rest of the university. This is the corollary of a trend towards intolerance manifestations that were very evident in the past was not allowed a presidential candidate to record a program on Channel 15 in the 2006 elections the debate on NAFTA ended up being a disrespectful and intolerant outcry against those who supported the Treaty, but now, assumed even more elaborate with reasons by the University Council, shows clearly the need to defend certain principles that define unambiguously the university life.

And the issue is not whether we agree or disagree with what Watson has said, probably an overwhelming majority rejected his claims misogynist, racist and homophobic, "but there is an objective danger we begin to relax the criterion of exclusion and end up censoring those who think like us. What are the limits of freedom of expression? Who defines it? What are the ethical values \u200b\u200b"institutional"? Who checks? What about those who disagree?

The Facebook page of my good friend Alberto Cortes, who defended the Council's position with real intellectual honesty and having a respectable view, Mauricio Herrera wrote something I thought was interesting and I share with you:

Should we censor literary conferences Borges for his "ambiguity" to the dictatorship in Argentina, or Vargas Llosa for being a neo-liberal or Shostakovich concert to defend the Soviet communism, or burn the books of Juan Ramón Jiménez by mistreating his wife, or outlaw Allan Poe for being a drunk or García Márquez to defend Fidel and the Revolution? We started censoring a molecular biologist who talks about science at a university and then could censor any speech that does not conform to any @ s considered morally or politically correct. The debate should be stimulated, not inhibited, and we can not go around telling people what should or should not listen and discuss, based on what one group considers to be "values" appropriate. What has been dangerous is when some feel possessors of the truth about what is right for your company, and end up imposing censorship: Chavez, Fujimori, Franco, Fidel, Mc Carthy and many others demonstrating good moral intentions for their companies ... It seems that the University Council made an excess of UCR, with the best intentions, and that its decision prior censorship set contradicts the Constitution

Excellent contribution me seems the best summarizes the subject matter.

About studying in private institutions? Who do in public? Microprogram

Now that the fiscal plan presented, one of the points that has been discussed is the relevance of taxing private education. In an exchange I had with Juan Carlos Hidalgo and Mishelle Mitchell, at the suggestion of José Francisco Correa, would provide some information that seems relevant to this debate. It was developed by the M.Sc. Raquel Barrientos, who was my partner in MIDEPLAN and currently serves on the Board of INEC, and always come when I need information of this type.

The data presented below were extracted from the Household Survey conducted by the INEC in 2009. The data for 2010, which used a new methodology for measuring household income are not yet available, although it is likely that the results are not dramatically different.

In 2009, 1,128,976 people were studying in public institutions, 24.891 in so-called semi-or quasi-official institutions, while 283.201 did in private. In college and para levels are more people in private institutions than in public, 159.064 and 124.734 in the first case and 6.024 and 4.651 in the second. In other levels there are more students in public schools than in private.

When analyzing educational enrollment on household income, the results show a large concentration of students higher income in private universities, although the percentage of people of low and middle income is important. In the case of university education, a 68.41% of those studying in private universities come from families whose income level places them in the three highest deciles, ie, 30% richer. On the other hand, only 5.69% of students in private universities from the three lowest deciles, ie the poorest 30%. The remaining 25.91% is in the middle deciles.

The pattern is repeated in the secondary school level. A 77.03% of students in private schools comes from the three upper deciles, while only 0.29% comes from the bottom three deciles and a 22.68 in the intermediates. At school, the percentages almost repeat: a 76.46% of private school students from 30% richer a 3.71% of the poorest 30% and 19.83% of the intermediates.

general conclusions one could argue based on this statistical information on average two thirds of those currently studying in private institutions are not likely to have trouble paying the tax is proposed, given the level of family income. From this perspective, the tax is progressive.

However there is another third may well be affected, especially at the university level, because in high school be exempted from taxation to the monthly payments less than ¢ 110,000. Be taken into account to that group in the debate of the proposed reform.

And what does the survey on public education? In 2009, 49.16% of public school students came from the bottom 3 deciles, a 39.81% of intermediate and 11.03% of the 3 higher. At school, things start to turn around, since only 39.85% of public schools comes from the poorest 30% (and I suspect that this number was higher before they advance the agenda Venture), 45, 38% intermediate and 14.78% from 30% richer. And finally in the public universities turns the tables: only 8.25% of those studying in public universities come from families whose income is classified in the bottom 3 deciles, a 32.42% of intermediate and 59.32% of families whose income ranks them within the 30% richest.

These are the numbers. There is much to discuss about this situation, not only is a discussion on taxes. But if the tax reform that encourages debate, big time. Let us debate, yes, based on real information, not subjective perceptions.

The Web Piercing Infection Symptom

Decentralize, what and how

Why should we carry out a process of decentralization and strengthening of local governments in Costa Rica? Although the current centralized management model has generated very positive results over the nation's history, its limitations become increasingly apparent to a complex reality checked by profound regional inequalities. When the state apparatus is centralized by vocation and conviction, their political leaders are not always aware of such asymmetries.

Most developed countries assign a weight to local bodies as implementers of total public expenditure, a condition that is indispensable for increasing the efficiency and effectiveness. The First World Report on Decentralization and Local Democracy by the United Cities of Local Governments in 2008 reveals dramatic contrasts: in European countries are more decentralized local expenditure as a percentage of GDP above 20% (Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland ) other are located between 10 and 20% (Norway, UK, France) and the more centrist reach proportions of between 5 and 10% (Spain, Germany). In Canada and the U.S. this figure rises to 7.5% and 9.6% respectively, in Japan, the amount spent by local authorities amounted to 12.3% of GDP in South Korea and China 16%, the shining star of the global economy, the percentage reaches an impressive 22%. Meanwhile, in Costa Rica local governments are responsible for an expenditure of only 1.2% of GDP, representing a modest 6% of total public expenditure.

These figures should not have doubts about the need to increase resources to municipalities. But this reality is contrary to a constantly repeated argument that has become a prejudice, based on an unfair generalization accepted without rigor and derived from a certain lack of knowledge about local realities in the country. How you can allocate more resources to the municipalities if they can not make good use of those days? Is not it true that they have high levels of budgetary underspending?.

The answer is simple and includes many elements that have been the subject of numerous studies in the past. Underspending is not always synonymous with inefficiency, local governments often fail to execute their budgets because the items are rotated in the second half of the year, making it virtually impossible to spend a timely manner within the existing legal framework governing the activities of public entities. But it is also essential to break the vicious circle in which some of the municipalities are stuck: you can not run current resources because they lack the necessary conditions to do so, conditions will only be taken if they have the resources to build such conditions. Considerations

how are you, and the realization of a constitutional amendment approved 10 years earlier, led by Dr. Oscar Arias government to push for a law of devolution has been the subject of intense discussion this year, a law that was passed unanimously in the previous Legislature. In Article 3 provides that "every law shall specify which powers are transferred, the rules regarding their exercise and to exercise the necessary funds." From here clearly indicate the possibility of defining alternative forms of transfer that go beyond the simple transfer of resources from one place to another, which is the only option that seems to have been discussed so far.

then is not a dictum to transfer money to dress undress one saint to another, but a comprehensive framework that allows creative definition of viable alternatives, if available, of course, the political will to do so. The law was conceived in that spirit, from this perspective, the figure of ¢ 40.000 million who are supposed to be transferred annually to the municipalities and that is a product of simple arithmetic and calculation of which was not necessary studies, is put forward as a result an inflexible view of the decentralization process, or a lack of conviction that it could be accepted once and for all so we know where we stand on this issue. A recent

to illustrate this. A few months ago the Comptroller General of the Republic ordered the MOPT move all resources to their maintenance cantonal routes to municipalities. The process is complex, because in order to run these resources requires a technical-administrative apparatus that most local governments do not have. Why not then transfer to municipalities the power to determine how to use these resources while maintaining centralized execution thereof to retain the advantages of economies of scale offered?.

Along the same lines could be an inventory of relevant ministries and autonomous institutions similar to the case of the routes mentioned cantonal and local governments to transfer the power of the definition of priorities, leaving the central institutions implementation of projects. In this way you can start the process of strengthening local governments that the country needs, without the apocalyptic prophecies of dismantling the state and massive layoffs that have been raised in this debate come true.

8801 law is a unique opportunity to initiate a thorough reform of our state. The challenge should be taken collectively by the Executive and the municipalities, in an effort to find ways to decentralization original concrete without causing damage this process of transformation of the Costa Rican government that can not be postponed.

Why Shouldnt Buy A Tv Superbowl

Anguish 2.0

I am writing this reflection because guilt will not leave me alone. Part of the problem is that I am very inflexible and blindly believe in a code of conduct. On the other hand I find it hard to adapt in a time when adaptability is vital for survival. I tell

quickly. On my birthday (December 20) received over 400 messages, both on Twitter and Facebook, as well as in my mail from Gmail and the University of Costa Rica (and some cell phone text messages). Imagine what a wonderful reach age 50 receiving many good wishes and congratulations. I decided the least I could do was answer them all, without thinking how long I could take on this task. It turned out that lasted approximately 5 hours, spread over two days, answering messages. I did it really tastefully, without thinking of the time it took me and really grateful for the expressions of affection and, in some cases, solidarity for coming, as I told a friend at the age from which we begin to glimpse the mountaintop.

But if a birthday before a date so close to other festive dates somehow always been a special situation for me (which receive a single gift for birthdays and Christmas is just a part of history), with 2.0 coming of age thing has become really dramatic. He had not finished answering the birthday messages when it began a string of equally poignant messages wishing me a happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. But for those times when time was short and the possibility of returning to sit 5 hours to answer the message received was not feasible (dining, shopping, preparing trip to the beach, in short, all those things that concern us these days) . At first I decided to try to answer some from the phone, which is quite laborious for those born with ten thumbs. But I moved like I wanted, so that messages are piled up in all my virtual containers, causing increasing anxiety.

finally decided to abandon my goal to answer before going to the beach all messages received so far (and hopefully the start of the holiday would lower the rate at which messages received) and to postpone any activity up to Potrero. But the truth is that once seemed to be beyond reasonable mo miss the sun, the sea breeze, the pool, heavenly sunsets and especially the infinite enjoyment of my grandchildren to sit and reply to messages, even when out at night with a beer and good music. So I could not answer many.

And now that I returned to San Jose there are things pending, initiate projects, responsibilities to bear. And then I am filled with anguish 2.0, the combination product this facility we have now to express our best wishes and distribute, with a sense of responsibility tells me I should sit down and answer each and every one of those who sent me a message for the holidays. But I concluded that the situation passed me and there's nothing I can do to catch up, unless the purpose of not letting the messages accumulate to me next year, or change my birthday to a particular date minus .

In any case, and to appease my conscience I decided to write, to tell every one who sent me a message that not having answered not a product of nature but an ungrateful disordered, which is not indifference, indiscipline. But I thank you deeply for the good wishes for me but especially for my family. And all they want for me and my family will get you a thousand times, because if you took the time to send these messages is that they deserve. A hug to everyone and really, at heart, thank you!
