SOLICITORS

AMUSING BUSINESS DINNER Last week I was pleased to meet again and  have a dinner with my former partner and his family. Among several discussions he recalled the second and last travel we made to Greece and Italy to canvass new business contracts with ship owners and managers. At that time we found a brazilian colleague in a coffee bar in Piraeus a beautifull and pleasant city, less crowded that Athens city. whence, we have had an opportunity to meet a vessel´s superintendente acccompanied by the brazilian guy, which, in turn unveiled to us an urgente demand by one of the vessels managed by his company with several technical pending issues by the port state control(PSC) in Brazil. Most part of these pendencies, should be solved out before the ship leaves the Brazilian ports and cleared by the vessels class society. So, next day morning we went to the companys office.

UMA MOEDA PARA O BARQUEIRO - II Partindo de aparente cognição ao pensamento da geração “Z” percebe-se que a ênfase é a polarização. Se por um lado sobra entusiasmo para mudar o mundo, por outro, sobeja o pessimismo e o desapontamento. Os encantos do mundo digital, assistidos pela tecnologia da informação com todas as suas ferramentas de inovação, tem produzidos nesta geração uma espécie de religião virtual.

Principalmente em ano de eleição que nos espera em 2018 Mas... deixemos de lado os encômios e passemos a leitura de um dos excertos do livro, encontrado à página 7.
