#183 - July 2008 Theme Day: "No . . ." signs

Coyotes in Lisbon?

This sign is at some lousy bushes between sidewalks. Was put there by the parish to prevent the owners of bring there their dogs. I do not understand the objective when there is no maintenance and the bushes are full of garbage.

This sign was adjusted by George Townboy since I could not find any with the word NO.

#182 - Church of St. John of God

With the growth of Arroios north of Lisbon at the beginning of the 50s was necessary to establish new parishes. Only in Arroios in the census of 1950, had 70 966 souls. Cardinal Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon, decreed the establishment of new parishes: Santa Joana Princesa, Santa Tereza, today Twelve Apostles, Holy Angel of Portugal, John the Evangelist and St. John of God, among others. Built without sacrifices of parishioners, the money came in substantial part, the compensation from the state for the demolition of the church at Relief in Martim Moniz.

António Lino was the architect chosen to take the project forward. Through its traces, Anthony Lino has reconciled the beauty with sobriety, the monumental with the functional. Still surrounding the work with names that are famous today in the recent history of Lisbon, Portugal. Names such as the engineer Richard Leopoldo da Mota, the sculptors Leopoldo de Almeida and Soares Branco, the ceramist Jorge Barradas and painter Domingos Rebelo.
At the time of construction, Anthony Lino explained his desire to bring the faithful of the altar, winning the compulsory removal that existed in relation to the assembly, which has been amended only a decade after the Second Vatican Council.
On March 8, 1953, Avenida of Rome, Square, London, with the blessing of Cardinal Cherry, was born a "giant parish".[*]

The entry of the main door is enriched with sculptures, laden with significance, the authors of the master Leopoldo de Almeida: Archangel San Rafael (which God healed) John of God (patron of hospitals and patients) and the apostle John the Evangelist, represented the eagle (one of the four evangelists).
The project's original church was amended to be greater rapprochement between the believers.
'Thus, the three ships converging on a common point that if you have found the tabernacle, tripled the desired approach, not far away in the last assistants, and benefiting all in the visibility and hearing A. Lino

Lisbon is known as the white city, the whiter city in Europe due to its brightness. And today I felt that!

#175 - Marquis of Pombal

Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Count of Oeiras, 1st Marquis of Pombal (in Portuguese, Marquês de Pombal, (13 May 1699 — 15 May 1782) was an 18th century Portuguese statesman. He was Minister of the Kingdom (the equivalent to a today's Interior Minister) in the government of Joseph I of Portugal from 1750 to 1777. He was undoubtedly the most prominent minister in the government, and today he is usually considered to have been the de facto head of government. Pombal is notable for his swift and competent leadership in the aftermath of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. In addition he implemented sweeping economic policies in Portugal to regulate commercial activity and standardize quality throughout the country. The term Pombaline is used to describe not only his tenure, but also the architectural style which formed after the great earthquake

The Pombaline Reforms were a series of reforms with the goal of making Portugal an economically self-sufficient and commercially strong nation, by means of expanding Brazilian territory, streamlining the administration of colonial Brazil, and fiscal and economic reforms both in the Colony and in Portugal.

During the Age of Enlightenment Portugal was considered small and lagging behind. It was a country of three million people in 1750; 200,000 people lived in the nation's 538 monasteries.[citation needed] The economy of Portugal before the reforms was a relatively stable one, though it had become dependent on colonial Brazil for much of its economic support, and England for much of its manufacturing support, based on the Methuen Treaty of 1703. Even exports from Portugal went mostly through expatriate merchants like the English Port wine shippers and French businessmen like Jácome Ratton, whose Memoirs are scathing about the efficiency of his Portuguese counterparts. The need to grow a manufacturing sector in Portugal was made more imperative by the excessive spending of the Portuguese crown, the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake, the expenditures on wars with Spain for Brazilian territory, and the exhaustion of gold mines and diamond mines in Brazil.[1]

His greatest reforms were however economic and financial, with the creation of several companies and guilds to regulate every commercial activity. He demarcated the region for production of port, to ensure the wine's quality; his was the first attempt to control wine quality and production in Europe. He ruled with a heavy hand, imposing strict laws upon all classes of Portuguese society, from the high nobility to the poorest working class, and via his widespread review of the country's tax system. These reforms gained him enemies in the upper classes, especially among the high nobility, who despised him as a social upstart.

Further important reforms were carried out in education by Melo: he expelled the Jesuits in 1759, created the basis for secular public primary and secondary schools, introduced vocational training, created hundreds of new teaching posts, added departments of mathematics and natural sciences to the University of Coimbra, and introduced new taxes to pay for these reforms.

This building is in the oposite side of the street from the one in the previous post. It is not beautiful or nice but I liked the way the photo came.

#172 - Red Alert

Rua Braancamp today at lunch time was virtually deserted because of the heat which was felt, and the red alert given by the authorities.

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun can lead to acute and chronic problems, with serious effects on health, particularly of the skin, eyes and immune system. In this context, in regions with very high rate, between 8 and 10, it is recommended the use of sunglasses with UV protection, hat, T-shirt, umbrella, sunscreen and avoid exposure of children to the sun. When the index is equal to or greater than 11, the recommendations seek to avoid as much as possible exposure to sun and to take rest at home.

The district of Lisbon was today in the red level, the first and most dangerous of a scale of three, defined under the Plan Contingency for waves of heat. This level is very high temperatures that can bring serious problems to health.
