«Amber, a film producer, had been queuing to buy milk in Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall when the militants attacked, and took refuge under a counter in the Nakumatt supermarket. She shielded her children for an hour and a half before being found and shot in the thigh (...) "The terrorists said if any of the kids were alive in the supermarket they could leave. Amber made the decision to stand up and say yes. Then Elliot started arguing with them and called them bad men. He was very brave."
The attacker is said to have taken pity on the family and given the children Mars bars. He then reportedly said: "Please forgive me, we are not monsters."
After discovering the advertising producer was of French origin, the men began to plead with her and claimed that the Muslim faith 'was not a bad one', according to the Daily Mail. "He told me I had to change my religion to Islam and said 'Do you forgive us? Do you forgive us?', said the mother.»


«(...) among the victims was Moon Hee Kang, a 38-year-old South Korean Cambridge graduate (...).
Friends paid tribute to Hee Kang, who had recently moved to Nairobi and worked for Samsung. (...) "She was excited to be able to settle down, after moving around these past years, built a home and put her good heart and herself to good use to help and raise others to the light."
(...) "She was very bright and enjoyed her work, she could have gone anywhere but she decided to go to Africa partly because she wanted to contribute to the economy there."
(...) "You embraced those who are around you with open heart and open arms and I am so lucky to have been one of many to be close to your beautiful smile and kindness."

(...) Former US president Bill Clinton paid tribute to malaria expert Elif Yavuz, who was a fortnight from giving birth (...) "Elif was brilliant, dedicated, and deeply admired by her colleagues, who will miss her terribly," he said in a statement. "Elif devoted her life to helping others, particularly people in developing countries suffering from malaria and HIV/AIDS. On behalf of the entire Clinton Foundation, we send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to Elif's family and her many friends throughout the world."»

One day Love will rule Earth! One day all Persons will be respected in them sacred Life and Liberty! In the presente and in the past so sadness and hopeness, God bless all Persons! The answer to Tyranny, Ignorance and Fanaticism always present in Human History is Love, Humanistic Culture, Self Defence (by cultural, political, diplomatical, social, economic, preventive ways for security not by war, not by vengeance, not by more violence that generate more violence). The falsity of the ideological manipulation iluded many Human Beings that lost contact with them essence, them good dimensions and go on with an obsession of a false true, supported by money, weapons, iluded power, the errors of the retaliation and vengeance, the errors of the materialism, of the manipulation of energy, ... The majority of Persons are more good than bad Persons and can change the world generation by generation with them personal faith and human values. All religions and philosophies have good and bad dimensions like the dialectical world, but exist a way of identity. of a thesis Love versus antithesis (power) and a resultant (synthesis): power with Love, peace!

EDUCAÇÃO IV - EDUCATIO IV - EDUCATION IV

«Não podemos aceitar o fim da oferta generalizada do inglês e vamos luta contra ela. Tomaremos uma iniciativa na Assembleia da República no sentido de voltar a repor a oferta generalizada do inglês em todas as escolas do país para o primeiro ciclo. Este é o nosso compromisso, esta é a nossa responsabilidade, porque a educação é uma prioridade (...) [estamos a presenciar ao] maior ataque à escola pública [desde o início da democracia]
Graças ao Governo socialista todos os alunos dos quatro anos do primeiro ciclo tinham oferta generalizada de inglês, mas, neste momento, o executivo retirou essa oferta. Isso diz tudo: Para este Governo a educação não é prioridade (...) retirando a oferta generalizada de inglês, alguns alunos vão ter inglês e outros não vão ter». António José Seguro, líder do PS (20-09-2013)

«Temos de introduzir o inglês no currículo do ensino básico (...) Ajudem-nos a pensar como podermos desenvolver o inglês nas escolas do 1º ao 3º ciclo» - Nuno Crato, ministro da educação 23-09-2013
Ridículo senhor ministro, após dois anos e tal e de se ter comprometido o seu ensino para este ano lectivo!

«Um dia o Inglês deixa de ser obrigatório nas Actividades de Enriquecimento Curricular (AEC), no outro cria-se um exame para o 9º ano e, logo a seguir, decide-se que, afinal, o inglês passa a ser obrigatório no 1º ciclo» Rui Martins (Confederação Nacional Independente de Pais e Encarregados de Educação - CNIPE), 23-09-2013

Matemática, Português e Inglês, codificações e descodificações fundamentais tão maltratadas pelo ministro da educação, pelo péssimo governo de Portugal!

GERMÂNIA VIII - GERMANIA VIII - GERMANY VIII

http://www.spiegel.de/

This is the last results available from German federal elections of 22-09-2013: seems that FDP disappear from Bundestag (4,7%, -9,9%), AfD can´t appear (4,7%), so these votes can be lost in the German representative game. So CDU/CSU (41,7%, +7,9%) have less votes than the other parties together, SPD (25,6%, +2,6%) + Die Linke (8,5%, -3,4%) + Die Grüne (8,4%, -2,3%).

The German votes implicate a change, we hope that will be a good change for Germany and Europe. German Liberals contributed for negative decisions in the past.

The last results (source: Die Spiegel http://www.spiegel.de/) confirme what we said, with CDU/CSU lost 0,2% for SPD:

Now the more probable scenarios of support to the future Government seems these:
- CDU/CSU + SPD
- CDU/CSU + Die Grüne
We will wait for a change ...

(DES)GOVERNO III - ADMINISTRATIO MALA III - MISRULE III

O governo de Portugal
Continua muito mal
Uma «incorrecção factual»
Um erro colossal

Confundir acções da SLN
Com acções do BPN
Confundir créditos
Com swaps que aumentam custos

O primeiro - ministro não promete
Mantém a sua confiança
E como sempre compromete
A sua própria esperança

TERRORISMO - TROMOCRATIA - TERRORISM

«The guillotine during the French Revolution» in Octave Uzanne, Le Livre, Paris, A. Quantin, 1885.

TERROR IN THE NAME OF POWER, ONE OF THE MAJORS ENEMIES OF HUMANKIND OF HER LIFE AND LIBERTY, LINKED TO TIRANNY, IGNORANCE AND FANATICISM.

ALONG HISTORY, SO MANY HORRIBLE EXAMPLES BY EMPERATEUR NERO, INQUISITIONS, FRENCH REVOLUTION, III REICH, STALIN, FRANCO, SALAZAR, ETA, IRA, FARC, INDONESIA IN EAST TIMOR, BALKANS AND NOW ISLAMIC FANATICISM ...

WHAT HAPPENING IN NAIROBI,  LYBIA, SYRIA, LIKE IN THE PAST IN NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, LONDON, MADRID, MOSCOW, BAGDAD, INDONESIA ET CETERA, SHOW VERY WELL THE ENEMIES OF HUMANITY AND LIBERTY, WITHOUT ANY RESPECT FOR THE PERSONS, FOR THEMSELVES, FOR THE CREATOR AND THE CREATION (WITH THE LIBERTY OF EACH ONE HAVE OR NOT HAVE A PERSONAL FAITH).
NAIROBI SHOW THE PROBLEM OF WEAPONS AND IT SHAMELESS BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY, THE PROBLEM OF FIGHT AGAINST SYRIAN AND LYBIAN OPRESSIVE SYSTEMS BUT INCREASE THE POWER OF THE FANATICISM ...
THE INCREDIBLE WAR IN IRAK WAS MANIPULATED AND CREATED A LOT OF PROBLEMS DESPITE THE HORRIBLE TYRANT USED FOR LEGITIMATION.

FOR ALL VICTIMS OF TERRORISM, GOD BLESS YOU, FOR ALL PERSONS THAT HELP THEM GOD BLESS YOU. FOR THE MANIPULATED HUMAN BEINGS BY FANATICISM, SLAVES OF POWER, THE HOPE THAT ONE DAY SOME OF THEM DEEP UNDERSTAND CLEAR WHAT THEY DO WITH THE HELP OF GOD ... WHAT SHAME, WHAT COWARDICE, THE LIFE AND LIBERTY OF ALL PERSONS ARE SACRED!!!






Persons help victims!

2001 attack in United States of America is an horrible example of all terrorist acts along History ... against Human Beings!

TERRORISM MUST STOP! FINIS FACIENDUS TROMOCRATIA!

Remember us a leader with a great courage, victim of fanaticism,


Benazir Bhutto.

And precisely in Pakistan a new monstrosity from fanatics happened:

«(...) "Every Christian is feeling under siege in Pakistan,” said Tahir Naveed Chaudhry, a Christian lawyer and chairman of the Pakistan Minorities Alliance.
Last year, Chaudhry successfully defended a young Christian girl from charges of blasphemy after a Muslim cleric accused her of burning the Koran. The girl fled to Canada with her parents in March. That month, hundreds of Christians were forced to flee their neighborhood in the eastern city of Lahore after a mob set dozens of houses on fire while accusing a man of blasphemy.
But the scale of the latest bombing stunned much of Pakistan, reigniting memories of an attack in 2001 in which gunmen stormed a Roman Catholic church in Punjab province and killed 15 worshipers.
“I rushed to the site and saw dead bodies and wounded people, mostly women and children screaming,” Saeed Ullah, 24, said after Sunday’s blast.
As gruesome images from the attack flashed across television screens, several major Pakistani political parties called for three days of mourning.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif issued a statement in which he pledged “solidarity” with Pakistan’s Christian community. “Terrorists have no religion, and targeting innocent people is against the teachings of Islam and all religions,” he said.
Outside All Saints Church, relatives of the dead and injured set tires ablaze and shouted complaints against the police and the attackers. The crowd said security forces had not done enough to protect the church.
“It was a security collapse,” said Asif Bhatti, a former local lawmaker from the Peshawar area who attended All Saints Church.
Protests erupted in several cities, including in Karachi, about 800 miles from the scene of the bombing. Residents of Christian neighborhoods in that sprawling seaport blocked traffic and threw stones at passing vehicles, according to local media.
Michael Javed, a Christian leader in Karachi who runs several schools, said the attack left many Christians in the country feeling powerless and unprotected. Christians make up about 1 to 2 percent of Pakistan’s population. About 97 percent of residents in the country identify as Muslim.
Just 12 days ago, Javed said, he got a call from a man who threatened to “drown my school” and kill his family if he did not pay a ransom or leave the area.
He and other Christian leaders said their safety has deteriorated since the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan, as Islamist militants began targeting people they suspected of holding Western beliefs.
The Taliban-linked Jundallah group that took credit for Sunday’s attack has been tied to past attempts to fuel sectarian and religious discord in Pakistan.
Ahmad Marwat, commander of the group, vowed that the attacks would continue until U.S. drone strikes are halted.
According to security officials, a suspected U.S. drone fired four missiles Sunday into a house near the border of North and South Waziristan, a tribal area known as a haven for militants and foreign fighters who often cross the border into Afghanistan.
Six militants were killed in the strike, including some foreigners, according to a Pakistani intelligence official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Pakistan’s government condemned the action, saying in a statement that such strikes “set dangerous precedents in inter-state relations.”

Khan reported from Peshawar.» http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/dozens-killed-as-suicide-bombers-attack-christian-worshipers-in-pakistan/2013/09/22/d2805f6c-237e-11e3-b3e9-d97fb087acd6_story.html?hpid=z3

Brutal negative forces that don´t respect nothing, included the persons that they manipulated as weapons. God bless all victims and them families and friends!

Again about Syria in a war without any respect of the civilians from all parts (Syrian regime and opositors opression and violation over the life and liberty of persons of Civil Society):
«I appeal to the world leaders - please, set aside their differences, unite to end the violence, and make diplomacy succeed (...)
Every 14 seconds someone crosses Syria's border and becomes a refugee, (...) And by the end of this year, half of Syria's population, 10 million people, will be in desperate need of food, shelter, and assistance.» Angelina Jolie, a constant supporter of the refugees in 21-6-2013!



«Why is no one standing by the Syrian people? No one is helping us (...) They all say they want to support us, but nothing is being done. They have conferences and make statements, but it is worth nothing.» Umm Mohammad (Syrian woman refugee)

Stop weapons to Syria, eliminate all weapons that threat Population from all players of the conflict.

ELEIÇÕES LOCAIS E ALGO MAIS - LOCI ELECTIONES ET ALIQUID ALIUD - LOCAL ELECTIONS AND SOMETHING ELSE

O que poderiam ser também eleições legislativas, vão ser apenas locais, 

Porque do PS assim o quiseram certos senhores feudais 

Não era o seu timing, precisavam de mais tempo 

Não era o seu espaço, precisavam de mais campo

Do tempo que perderam a dar poder a forças externas

Do espaço que perderam para mesquinhas forças internas 

Que em conluio pela sua vontade de poder a Nação traíram

Que pela vontade de forças pseudo liberais Portugal desvalorizam

Era urgente parar com essa desvalorização

Era fundamental apoiar a valorização

Criar melhores condições para o indelével desenvolvimento

Transcender os limites materialistas e efémeros do crescimento

Que tempo e espaço perdido por essas forças negativas

Sim era muito urgente recuperar tudo o que foi perdido

Actividades económicas, empregos, Valor das forças positivas

As heroínas Empresas e Famílias com o seu devir supreendido

É urgente acabar com abusos de posição dominante

Venham do Estado, de artificiais cartéis e monopólios

Com as suas rendas excessivas obtidas também em oligopólios

São séculos e séculos de oligarquias parasitas com os seus espólios

A grande revisão das normas da Constituição

São as que poderão dar mais força à Nação

Como por exemplo permitir a avaliação intercalar

Da delegação de poder, da representação parlamentar

Para todo este abuso de poder delegado evitar  

Para que não possam Portugal mais tramar

Depois de também fortemente ter sido prejudicado o Ultramar 

Pelo anterior poder usurpado que alguns pretendem aviltar

Mas que grande desperdício e desvalorização

Tem realizado a presente e desastrosa governação 

Com o apoio do já reformado Presidente da República, 

Da Presidente tão nova e já dependente da reforma pública,

A da Assembleia da República cuja maioria na subserviência descambou

Do Presidente da Comissão Europeia, que do cargo de Primeiro-Ministro desertou

Mas o PSD ao País não podia e não calou

Vai-se apresentar às locais eleições com um manto que o disfarçou

Vai tentar na confusão das pessoas e coligações que o representam

Disfarçar qualquer desastre que pelas suas negativas acções o repudiam 

As suas demonstradas faltas de ética e amplas incapacidades 

Há muito tempo ficaram claras perante as Polis - Cidades

Após décadas de desperdício de dinheiros públicos

Continuam as actuações e caminhos muito pouco bíblicos

Em cada pessoa que para o Governo é escolhida

Há quase sempre uma verdade omitida e escondida

Desde os seus secretários de Estado

Até aos seus ministros, que miserável ético estado

Não existem alternativas muitos dizem com convicção

Não gostam do líder da oposição

Gostam mais de outros que têm carácter de pavão

Às forças da posição interessa a confusão

Mas apesar das suas limitações

Tem muito mais ética que os pavões

E tem afirmado verdades

Que evidenciam as falsidades

Prefiro o seu bom Humanismo

À pseudo eficácia de certo político pragmatismo

Que tanto tem fragilizado o democrático socialismo 

O modelo de «Bête politique» de grande manipulador 

Artista na selva política que nos tem causado tanta dor

Precisa claramente de um sucessor

Não tem o carisma que despoleta a emoção?

Não tem capacidade de «catalisar almas» e levá-las à nobre acção?
Não tem a força necessária para vencer os feudos e dominantes posições?
Mas quem tem essas raras características, os pavões?
Com todas suas limitantes e mesquinhas ambições?
Não, penso que não ...
Seria outra vez mais da mesma ilusão
Que levou a muitos a tanta frustração

O bom humanista não antecipou e enfrentou os erros troikistas?
Não propôs o que mais tarde se tornou evidente mesmo para os seguidistas?
Cambada de desvalorizadores aculturados, grandes parasitas e oportunistas
Que agora criticam os internacional pseudo liberais e monetaristas
Mas não os europeus monetaristas e pseudo liberais
Que nem uma autocrítica a fizeram e que são tão brutais
Com os seus monstruosos erros colossais
Omitindo as suas fazem pagar bem caro as culpas gregas
Tratam Portugal na mesma moeda, com as suas políticas cegas

Vejam bem cidadãos germânicos para o que se está a passar
À valiosa Europa isto não vai interessar
Vulnerabilizar tanto as Nações Grego - Latinas
De Leste a Oeste, da Romania à Península Ibérica
De Norte a Sul até à Península Itálica
Para não falar das Nações Celtas

Não se trata de culpar culpados
De fazer expiar os seus pecados
Trata-se de assumir que o modelo estava errado
E que o efeito da causa foi muito diferenciado

Há muito para renegociar e viabilizar
Para a bom porto aportar
Tanto desperdício parar
E a valorização apoiar!


António José Seguro salientou muito bem:
«Já se queixou dos portugueses, chamou-lhes piegas quando diziam que era preciso mudar de rumo e eu pergunto: Quem está errado? O povo ou o primeiro-ministro?»
«Foi para além da "troika" para satisfazer os mercados, mas vem queixar-se de que os mercados não o compreendem. É um incompreendido»

O embaixador da Alemanha em Portugal, Helmut Elfenkämper, afirmou em relação a Portugal em 22-09-2013, dias das eleições federais da Alemanha: «(...) a estratégia de consolidação orçamental [teve] efeitos colaterais que não estavam previstos na dimensão em que aconteceram na realidade, com esta grande taxa do desemprego e a perda de poder de compra para muita gente (...) naturalmente preocupante [implica encontrar alternativas para continuar] o caminho de consolidação em Portugal e noutros países do Sul da Europa (...) a Alemanha está pronta a ajudar. (...)
[Os alemães que vivem em Portugal] têm seguido com muita atenção os movimentos da opinião pública portuguesa durante toda esta crise (...) conhecem bem (...) tem sido acompanhado na Alemanha com muita simpatia, todos os esforços que têm sido feitos, os sacrifícios da população (...)».

«A data crucial para o regresso aos mercados é 23 de Setembro de 20113 e certamente esperamos ter crescimento positivo antes disso» - Vítor Gaspar como ministro das finanças em 19-03-2012

«Ainda em Maio deste ano os nossos juros a dez anos estavam quase a baixar a fasquia dos cinco por cento. Isso dava-nos uma perspectiva boa de fechar o actual processo de ajuda económica e financeira e de poder, com uma ajuda europeia, transitar para mercado e fechar este programa de assistência. Mas quero dizer-vos que com juros como sete por cento como temos tido, é mais difícil (...) em primeiro lugar (...) algum preconceito [dos mercados em relação a Portugal] (...) temos de mostrar a todos que estamos completamente comprometidos com a meta que traçámos, mesmo sabendo que essas metas foram várias vezes muito mais exigentes do que aquelas que eram exigidas a outros (...)
Medidas como o corte nas pensões são decisivas para evitar novo pedido de resgate» - Pedro Passos Coelho como primeiro-ministro em 21-09-2013

GERMÂNIA VII - GERMANIA VII - GERMANY VII

Europe stil waiting for a change in Government of Germany decided by German Persons. Political parties still with a limited culture, persons don´t have great alternatives, but the same way (CDU/CSU+FDP) is not a good way for Germany and Europe. Better alternatives seems like that:

CDU/CSU+SPD
SPD+CDU/CSU
SPD+GREEN 

If opinion polling is not distant to reality, SPD seems increase it votes in last weeks and CDU/CSU decrease and only way for a change it´s FDP (liberals) don´t enter in Bundestag (votes < 5% oof the total). Seems a good sense moderate CDU/CSU by SPD in a conservative point of view, because the way of actual Government don´t have exits, create more problems for Europe and Germany than solve problems or create conditions to solutions. Liberals move the worst of liberalism and don´t give to us the best of it. We need more courage to strenght Europe from all Europeans to all Europeans, Americans and all Persons thhat share European Values, side by side, for a better World with much more Democratic and Christian dimensions, with a strong respect for Women, Men, Children, Nature, World, Creator (God)!

These are some ideas of the last speech of Angela Merkel (CDU) before elections:
«A estabilização do euro não é só boa para a Europa, é do interesse da Alemanha (...) Assegura os nossos postos de trabalho. [A Alemanha] só está bem, se a Europa estiver bem. (...)
Perguntam-me o que sinto quando vou à Grécia ou a Portugal e as pessoas se manifestam contra mim. E eu digo: 'Fico contente.' Porque esse foi um direito que eu não tive durante muitos anos. E fico contente por vivermos com liberdade de opinião, liberdade de imprensa, liberdade religiosa (...).
[A Alemanha foi] o doente da Europa (...) [é necessária solidariedade para com os] países que estão hoje fracos [mas que têm de ter reformas em troca de resgastes] (...) solidariedade só não é garantia de sucesso. (...)
Peço-vos, pessoalmente, que usem o vosso segundo voto para assegurar que eu posso continuar a ser a vossa chanceler (...) Tivemos mais sucesso nos últimos quatro anos.»
Merkel said again that don´t defend the eurobonds or the mutualization of the debt like SPD defend and remember that never Europe have so much time without wars.

Europe and Germany needs other kind of ideas and policies ...

NEGÓCIO - NEGOTIUM - BUSINESS

«The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society, as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work.» (Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business). Latin NEGOTIUM means NEGATIO of OTIUM (leisure). In Portuguese language Negócio, Negação do Ócio (lazer).
In History of Humankind at the moment that a Person or Family turns more and more dependent of the work to the others Persons, for Community and Society, that work turns more and more dependent of it social validation by it needs, it Value for Society. If other social players don´t recognize it potential value, the fruit of the work (a product, a service, a merchandise) can´t be changed by other fruit of work, in the course of History by a recognized symbol of the Value, the money.
By science and technology, by invention and inovation Women and Men turned work more and more soft, less and less hard ... potencial time for leisure grows more and more like Karl Marx said in XIX century ...
A long and interesting travel we can do in this way with actual potential of work is more and more a pleisure like a leisure, and leisure is more and more a work a dream in cork!


OTIUM: «The Baths at Caracalla» Laurentius Alma-Tadema (1899)



From Portugal to the world with Love (AMOR) ...

Sandra Martins, «Chairwomen» of PELCOR, from her dreams leaded a successful Portuguese company that transform the MATERIA (cork of oak) in a PRODUCT of Fashion or Leisure chains of value.

PORTUGAL have proud of PELCOR vision and mission!

Project

More than a fashion accessory, every Pelcor product is the result of nine years of waiting. The warm sun in the meadow. Cold and crisp mornings. Birds that come and go. Numbers registering the time to come. The passing of time. Generations of knowledge, interpreted by old hands that love and care. A scent that permeates our memory and serves as inspiration.
Pelcor® is about design, innovation and sustainability – qualities that are conveyed to our customers through every accessory in the collection. This is an ecological brand, inventive and sophisticated, that embodies a single, natural product: cork skin.
Pelcor® accessories are sustainable. They contribute to the renewal of an ecosystem – the Portuguese cork oak forests - and are manufactured in local factories using Eco-friendly materials.
Pelcor® with its trendy undertone, combines contemporary design with excellent craftsmanship. Translated into simple shapes from natural materials such as cork and leather, the collection is appropriate for work, special occasions, and in more relaxed settings. The different textures of cork skin bring a touch of elegance and individuality to each accessory.
Pelcor® offers beautiful accessories for everyday life, the office and travel.

Cork

The essence of every Pelcor piece, cork is a vegetal fabric extracted from the cork oak tree that thrives in the Mediterranean.
A symbol of renewal and longevity, the cork oak has a lifetime of 250-350 years and is the only tree whose bark regenerates itself after each harvest. It takes 20 to 25 years before the first cork can be removed from a cork oak. After the first extraction, cork can be harvested every nine years. An adult cork oak produces several hundred pounds at each harvesting and will live for many generations. It survives and prospers as part of a unique worldwide ecosystem: the cork oak meadow.
After the tiradia (process of harvesting), the cork is left to dry in the meadow. Raw planks of cork are then boiled, making them more elastic and easier to flatten, after which they are sorted by thickness and quality. Only the finest quality of cork is selected for manufacturing into Pelcor® accessories.
Characterized by an elusive scent of dry wood and a smooth texture, Pelcor® cork skin is extremely light, waterproof, flexible, resistant, insulating and environmentally friendly. As in nature, no two Pelcor pieces are exactly alike – subtle chromatic variations make each an utterly unique article.

History

The history of Pelcor began 30 years ago with a cork factory in São Brás de Alportel in Portugal, in the heart of the country’s cork industry.
That factory, to this day, makes champagne corks for many of the finest vintners in France and Spain. It has been the life’s work of three generations of Correias, the latest being Sandra Correia, granddaughter of the founder.
In 2003, Ms. Correia challenged her father with the idea of making cork more “feminine” and, in fact, fashionable. She envisioned creating accessories out of cork skin as a way to help sustain the cork industry and innovate products that are both stylish and practical.
Her vision was realized with the first accessory she made: a cork umbrella. It was so exuberantly received at an international trade show that it launched her new brand, Pelcor. The brand’s name is taken from the Portuguese words for skin (pel) and cork (cor). Pelcor® offered a range of innovative fashion accessories, and products for the home and office, marrying compelling designs with creativity. It developed partnerships with a number of designers and companies including ModaLisboa | LisboaFashionWeek to develop limited edition accessories as well, among them the Love Bag (2011), Freedom Bag (2012) and Trust Bag (2013.)
It didn’t take long for Pelcor to become an iconic, international Portuguese brand, one enlisted again and again to represent its country. Pelcor was called upon to create custom merchandise for the NATO Summit in Lisbon (2010) and for such international luminaries as President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In 2011, Ms. Correia was named “Best Entrepreneur of Europe,” awarded by the European Parliament and European Council of Women Entrepreneurs. The award reflects her role in reinventing Portugal’s traditionally conservative cork products sector. In 2013 Pelcor® celebrates its 10th anniversary, with expansion into the U.S. and other key markets. »

In a work of Pedro Sousa Tavares for Diário de Notícias (September 20, 2013), Sandra Martins said that United States of America (USA) represented between 20% and 30% of turnover, that is «a very much eco-friendly market (...) Look to Portugal with kindness, like our country and are motivated to help to open United States for Portugal».
About the «New Begining» iniciative lauched by the President of USA with the participation of PELCOR, Sandra Martins said: «Quando explico o que fazemos, as pessoas que não conhecem ficam interessadas. Muitos dos empresários de 29 países que estão comigo não conhecem o sobreiro. E ficam estupefactos com as coisas que se podem fazer com o sobreiro.»
For Portuguese persons with spirit of iniciative advised: «Têm de ser visionários e de acreditar naquilo que fazem. Depois precisam de bons profissionais e colaboradores que asegurem, em todas as áreas, que essa visãoo se concretiza».
