Don’t need to say that this is very handy when doing tradeshows booth, communicacion material, etc.

Next month I’ll puvlish an innovative concept for it, as a sales tool.

SOPA – PIPA – Wikipedia black-out and why da fuck we care so much about the US???

What a weird time we live in:

I go to the gim and people do not talk to you, only to complain that you are taking their space… I just ready that we work more in our society them a lot of slaves in the human history… we live based in a very fragile economic system, where a couple of companies say if a country is worth putting your money or not, and people believe it!!!

Now we have to stay a whole day without wikipedia due to a stupid US couple of bill proposals, you cannot see some videos in youtube as they are considered not good in the AMERCIAN standard for people under 18, doesnt matter where you live, same for a lot of other webs, it’s just ridiculous that the internet world depends so much in that country’s moral and political standards (if you ask me both pretty stupid in general).

Why don’t wikipedia and all the other webs just shut down the access for people connecting from the USA?! this is the best way to make that people fight for what they want to see and have. That country is the first to say they fight all around the globe for people’s free of speach (and their citizens cannot even dance in front a public monument)… tsc tsc tsc RIDICULOUS! RIDICULOUS! RIDICULOUS!!!!

I wish I had the power to just disclose, youtube, wikipedia, google, facebook, from all that disgusting american false and archaic moral, make this web GLOBAL, just as the air or the clouds that does not belong to any country and represents the internet as it’s symbol.

Feel so frustrated by nor been able to do anything….

Bioplastic, Ok Compost and other certifications

Conference             Logo

In two weeks time in the trendy and eletric city of Berlin, two important events will be taking part.

From the 21st to the 23rd of November, Berlin will be filled with the brains of the EU society in charge of changing our life style to a less harmful to the environement, meaning that the plastic bag we use to carry our groserry food wont be plast, but somthing else like potato skin plastic. Sounds weird but interesting?

Well, it does not stops there, the ink used to print this new generations of materials / substrates will have to follow the same path, meaning that Fanal pigments, Heavy metals, mineral pigments are totally out of the pictures, and some colors, even if they are no any of the ones mentioned before, will have to carry a less concentration of pigment, making the challenge of nice images something a little bit more trick than it used to be.

DINCERTCO – 21ST – One day seminar – www.dincertco.de

EUROPEAN BIOPLASTIC CONFERENCE – 22st and 23rd

I’m sure to be there, so see you in Berlin!

- SALA DE CRÉDITO

Trata-se de uma interessante oportunidade de conversar com entidades financeiras que disponibilizarão projetos e linhas de créditos diferenciados ao nosso público, somente oferecidas nas Sala de Crédito.

Na verdade a grande vantagem que os participantes terão é o fato de muitas ações serem desconhecidas dos empresários e dos gerentes das agências bancárias, bem como a própria utilização destes recursos (podem-se adquirir linhas de crédito para máquinas e equipamentos, recursos administrativos, qualificação de mão de obra (cursos técnicos) e obtenção de certificações entre outros. Este projeto vem sendo amplamente oferecido pela FIESP em sua sede, mensalmente, e os resultados colhidos os melhores.

O mais interessante é que esta ação é voltada para empresas de qualquer segmento. Desta forma se você quiser repassá-lo aos seus pares e contatos fique totalmente à vontade.
