Bulgary has reached us, being the forth among the heavy visitors due, certainly, to Dilma Rousseff's visit to the country. We must believe, however, that Bulgarians did not like what they found in this blog, for we criticize the president and the course Brazil is taking, which is hidden from most of the external community throughout the world.
Regarding this, a USP professor and politics consultant, Gaudencio Torquato, has a remarkable essay published in the paper O Estado de S.Paulo today, article we are to give a post where a summary with its main parts will make such long, difficult piece of writing palatable to most.
Russia has visited us more than the United States this week; we don't have an immediate reason for that.
We were surprised to see that Portugal was not a visitor for we have posted about the opening of a player that was popular last year - a comedy that defends the importance of sex with pleasure.
On the 28th we denounced that abortion does not even appear at the site of the Brazilian ministry-status Secretary of Policies for Women (SPM in Portuguese). That day was marked for decriminalization and legalization of abortion in Latin America. Dilma's discourses have lately mentioned breast and uterus cancer instead. The reason for all these: the control of the Vatican over Brazil.
On the 30th we posted the translation of the same-day article by The Economist on corruption in Brazilian Football. It is a tough report which was among the 'highlights of the Editor'. It seems to us that corruption is a main topic for Russians, thus explaining the higher audience - second just after Brazil.
We picked the awesome commercial fight by a Japanese airliner, during which the Boeing turns upside down.
Lastly, we also mourned over Steve Jobs, but his life has prompted us to embrace the future rather than feel sorry for the past, which has had immediate effect so that we were inspired to produce instead of prone to weep. Our drawing and verses (bilingual, posted as a fixed feature of the blog) paying tribute to Steve were far ahead in the leading position on our list.
Germany has been again a regular visitor, which pleases us a lot.
Even though we lacked time for more posts - while revelant themes were not scarce -, we managed to offer two not-to-be-found-elsewhere pieces: the translation from the British magazine while exploring a hard topic for Brazil (and, certainly, the whole world), and our article on abortion and its campaign day, along with a timeline of the developments leading to the apparently awkward steps of the Brazilian SPM.
Already on our agenda for the next week is the summary of Gaudencio Torquato's top article and an analytical report on USP's celebrating 100 thousand academic titles granted.
Thanks for you all, making this start of Spring so inspiring.
The Editor
