Carnaval... ou a falta dele
Desde que mudei para cá que me questionava sobre o porquê de não se celebrar o Carnaval em Genebra...
(Aliás, para ser mesmo exacta já na primeira vez que eu cá vim eu me questionei sobre o mesmo, mas sem nunca ter procurado activamente qualquer tipo de resposta - A primeira vez que eu cá estive já foi há coisa de 13 anos (sim, eu sei... posto por escrito, parecem mesmo muitos anos e faz-me sentir já... um tanto ou quanto .... hum.... idosa!)... 13 anos sem querer saber o porquê da falta de Carnaval... estranho!....)
Mas pronto, voltando ao Carnaval... ou ausência dele.
Em Genebra não há Carnaval, tão simplesmente porque este cantão é maioritariamente protestante... Para fazer jus à realidade o cantão nem é nada! A mistura e a variedade é tanta que não há uma religião prevalente... mas de qualquer modo, a tradição/origem é protestante e por isso não há feriado, não há máscaras e não há folia!
Noutras zonas os festejos já começaram e segundo o que pude averiguar no "Tribune de Genève" as celebrações do Carnaval em Luzerna são um "must see"!

Poema do discurso amoroso
Narinas complementares
Matilde, hoje fui dentista... Como de costume, pedi uma grande dose de anestesia.
(continuo com a mesma sensibilidade exagerada que, só por vergonha, me inibe de pedir uma anestesia geral... para chumbar um dente)
Quando vinha a descer no elevador, já com o dente tratado e com a anestesia ainda a fazer efeito... Lembrei-me daquela vez em que fomos ao dentista e cada uma de nós teve direito a anestesia em lados opostos da cara...
Nós só conseguíamos mexer uma narina cada uma e por isso ficamos a fazer palhaçadas, dentro do elevador, em frente ao espelho, mexendo as nossas "mono-narinas" que se complementavam para fazer um só nariz... lolllll
Lembras-te?

it's... Non-stop memories of you... it's...
"Tell me,
"Baby, baby, I love you
It's nonstop memories of you
It's like a video of you playing
It's all loops of seven-hour kisses cut
With a couple near-misses
Back to the scene of the actor saying:'Tell me, baby, baby – why do I feel so bad?'"
lyrics of song "Video", from the CD "The forgotten Arm" by Aimee Mann

Para o outro lado do espelho...
Hoje li esta notícia... Devo admitir que fiquei um pouco chocada...
Li varias publicações do Derek Yach (globalização e saúde, políticas de prevenção de doenças crónicas, etc, etc) e no primeiro ano em que eu estive por cá (2004), ele era visto como um verdadeiro guru da arena política... tão guru e tão bom que... agora, a pepsico estendeu-lhe a mão e ele.... ele foi!
Queria ser menos quadrada e pensar no aspecto positivo de uma tão ilustre personalidade estar a trabalhar com a indústria alimentar no sentido de melhorar as ofertas disponíveis e de facilitar a vida ao consumidor.... Mas este shift na carreira não deixa de me fazer comichão mental...
Ainda não me decidi quanto ao que penso sobre o assunto... ainda não tenho uma opinião formada...apenas alguma comichão mental!
Pepsico Appoints Derek Yach as Director - Global Health Policy
Friday February 9,
http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/070209/16/46kbz.html
PepsiCo announced today that Derek Yach, former Representative of the Director General at the World Health Organization, has been appointed the company's Director -- Global Health Policy, a new position to direct the company's global health and wellness policy.
He will report to Antonio Lucio, the company's chief Innovation and Health & Wellness officer.
"This move is in keeping with our commitment to develop the world's most balanced portfolio of convenient food and beverage choices, and to ensure we're meeting consumer needs for health and wellness," said Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo president and CEO.
"With health and wellness as our primary growth opportunity, we are investing in senior talent who will actively engage external partnerships and government and non-government organizations to arrive at policies that positively impact our strategy."
Yach, 51, is an internationally recognized public health policy leader and will be responsible for setting the company's global health and wellness policy.
He will work with non-government organizations (NGOs) and inter-governmental organizations to establish productive relationships such as PepsiCo's 2006 partnership with the William J. Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association to create a school policy offering healthier choices of beverages and foods/snacks in schools.
"We're fortunate to have a leader of Derek's caliber and talent join PepsiCo.
Derek has an undisputed track record in driving global health policies that support good nutrition and physical activity -- two complementary strategies to combat obesity and other health issues across the globe," said Nooyi.
"I'm confident that his expertise in the global public health policy arena will strengthen and accelerate our health and wellness agenda."
Over the last 10 years, Yach has held key leadership positions related to global health and the advancement of health, wellness and chronic disease research, prevention and control.
These include positions at the World Health Organization (WHO), Yale University and the Rockefeller Foundation.
While serving at the WHO, Derek held the positions of Representative of the Director General and the Executive Director, Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health. At Yale University, he was a professor of Public Health and division head of Global Health.
Most recently, Derek served as Director, Global Health at the Rockefeller Foundation.
PepsiCo is one of the world's largest food and beverage companies with annual revenues of more than $35 billion.
Its principal businesses include Frito-Lay snacks, Pepsi-Cola beverages, Gatorade sports drinks, Tropicana juices and Quaker foods.
Its portfolio includes 17 brands that generate $1 billion or more each in annual retail sales.

Mars to axe child-targeted adverts
In: Financial Times
By Jenny Wiggins,Consumer Industries Correspondent
Published: February 5 2007 02:00
Masterfoods, the makers of Mars and Snickers chocolate bars, is to stop marketing confectionery to children younger than 12 by the end of the year - the first time a major foodmaker has set such a high global age threshold for such products.
The measure reflects mounting concerns about the links between advertising and childhood obesity and follows moves by some public authorities to bring in tighter food regulations such as last year's ban on trans fats in New York's restaurants. The move by Masterfoods, one of the world's top 30 advertisers, is the biggest shift in marketing policy by a large food group since European officials threatened companies with regulation two years ago. It could drive other companies to adopt similar practices.
There are no global standards for marketing snack foods to children. Food companies typically have advertising age limits lower than 12 although some have no limits.
Nestlé says it does not encourage "over-eating" in children but it does not have an age limit. PepsiCo, which sells potato chips as well as soft drinks, says it does not have a global age limit for targeting children. Cadbury Schweppes does not target children under eight globally. Kraft does not advertise to children under six and says it markets only "better for you" products such as fruit juices and wheat crackers to children aged between six and 11.
Masterfoods already has a policy of not advertising to children under six.
But in a letter to Robert Madelin, the European Commission's director-general for health and consumer protection, the company says: "We have decided to make an official policy change to a cut-off age of 12 years for all our core products."
Core products include snack foods and confectionery. The letter says the policy, which will apply to all advertising, including online and new media, will be adopted by the end of the year.
The European Union's committee on diet, physical activity and health was meeting today in Brussels to discuss the progress companies are making on self-regulation.
Soft drink companies have made voluntary changes to their European marketing practices, with the Union of European Beverages Associations last year agreeing to stop advertising to children under 12 in Europe.
Coca-Cola does not market its fizzy drinks to children under 12 globally.
It is unclear how Masterfoods would stop children gaining access to snack food and confectionery websites, even if the websites are not directly targeted to children under 12.
On some of its websites, such as Starburst.com, children can play games and download screensavers.
One option may be to ask children whether they have their parents' consent to use the website or ask them to register their age.
But consumer groups say children can easily circumvent this and that online marketing activities such as games should be stopped altogether.

Para ter PraZeR!!!
Mandaram-me o poema abaixo para o email.... Tenho que confessar que esta situação imediatamente me trouxe à memória um jantar de aniversário no restaurante Chinês "à saída da ponte", em que um elemento do sexo feminino durante uma acesa discussão com um elemento do sexo masculino.... bateu com o punho na mesa, pôs-se de pé e já quase com fumo a sair pelo nariz disse para toda a mesa (com umas 25 pessoas) ouvir:
Passo a recordar....:)
"- AS PESSOAS NÃO TÊM RELAçÕES SEXUAIS PARA TER FILHOS! TÊM RELAçÕES SEXUAIS PARA TER PRAZER!!!!!"
Orá lá está.... Não foi em poema, mas foi sem dúvida memorável :o)
Poema de Natália Correia
a João Morgado (CDS)
"O acto sexual é para ter filhos" - disse, com toda a boçalidade, o deputado do CDS, no debate de 1982, sobre a legalização do aborto. A resposta, em poema, fez rir todas as bancadas parlamentares. Veio da deputada Natália Correia:
Já que o coito - diz Morgado -
tem como fim cristalino,
preciso e imaculado
fazer menina ou menino;
e cada vez que o varão
sexual petisco manduca,
temos na procriação
prova de que houve truca-truca.
Sendo pai só de um rebento,
lógica é a conclusão
de que o viril instrumento
só usou - parca ração! -
uma vez. E se a função
faz o orgão - diz o ditado -
consumada essa excepção,
ficou capado o Morgado.
