és un sentiment que no sabria molt bé com explicar. una barreja d'indignació, impotència, de ganes de cridar: que no ho veieu???
no. els diners, i sobretot el poder, enceguen
una vegada més, difamen amb mentides als que intenten obrir els ulls al món per tal d'amagar les veritats ocultes, les patranyes, de la indústria nuclear.
es un sentimiento que no sabria muy bien cómo explicar. una mezcla de indignación, impotencia, de ganas de gritar: que no lo véis???
no. el dinero, y sobretodo el poder, ciegan.
una vez más, difaman con mentiras a los que intentan abrir los ojos al mundo para esconder las verdades ocultas, patrañas, de la industria nuclear.
it's a feeling i don't know how to explain well. a mixture of indignation, impotence and wanting to cry: don't you see it???
no, money, and specially power, blind.
once more, they slander with lies those who try to open the eyes to the world just to keep away the hidden truth, the fakes, about nuclear industry.

El sentiment de comunitat va més enllà de compartir un projecte com el de la UOC. Per damunt d'estratègies i plans, aquest sentiment arrela en els moments i els espais informals, on es fa possible construir un esperit de cohesió, motivació i pertinença. La rectora Àngels Fitó va poder saludar personalment a tothom que es va apropar al pati del Campus del Poblenou i va acomiadar aquest intens curs plegats i vadesitjar-nos un bon estiu, tot compartint una copa amb música en directe a càrrec de companys i companyes de la nostra universitat.
La trobada, a més va coincidir amb diverses activitats paral·leles. Així, des d'una hora abans va tenir lloc l'emissió del programa La UOC en viu!, on vam gaudird'una demostració culinària a càrrec d'Ada Parellada, i alguna altra sorpresa.
Yesterday, after church, Ellie took a few moments before I came out of the sanctuary to "leave" me an artful little love-note on my windshield.
I couldn't *not* take a picture!

Now, this was hard to take because my dogs are very inconsistent. They kept moving around and leaving entirely.
If you're unfamiliar, the idea behind "The Burning House" is essentially the philosophical and also very real dilemma of choosing the things you would take in the event of your house burning down.
I think this really says something about a person, and I hope from what I show here, it shows good things about me.
The items shown here are:
- My dogs: Xero (Black and white) & Millie (Brown, Black, and White). This decision should need not an explanation.
- My trench coat
- A scarf to accompany it
- My bag, which holds the most important of items from my current read, wallet, license, passport, and phone. T he works.
- My Adventure Time sword (for practicality).
- A Domino set in its wooden container. This was the set of dominoes my grandpa and I would play with a lot. He taught me dominoes with this set.
- "Lost At Sea" signed by Bryan Lee O'Malley
- My journal full of my doodles and stories.
- Axis: Bold as Love by Jimmy Hendrix - the first album I ever purchased.
- Beanie, for practicality.
- Assorted films (pictured: Citizen Kane, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Dan in Real Life, Up in the Air, and Children of Men)
- Assorted books (pictured: To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm, The Genius and the Goddess, and Hocus Pocus.
- My car keys, of course.
- My Canon (not pictured)
Now, I probably wouldn't grab all of these in the event of an ACTUAL fire, but it'd be nice to think I would.

Quand s’envolent les espoirs.
Le cœur tiraille, pourquoi l’avoir trahi, pourquoi le torturer ?
Les yeux brulent tant
Sur les joues roulent de chaudes larmes
Faites de si peu d’eau
Mais de tant de sentiments !
Bonsoir tristesse…..Il faudra bien s’y faire……..
I think that it is human nature to feel a certain irreplaceable sentiment towards what we grew up with. After all, childhood is typically a time filled with fantasy and innocence, and once it's gone, there is no other period in our lives quite like it. But that being said, often this attachment creates a strong bias and we find ourselves looking at the new and unfamiliar changes that are bound to occur with disdain and contempt. This is no exception when it comes to the world of dollies. For a time, I definitely felt this way about the Barbies that appeared after my time as a child. Since I always grew up with secondhand dolls, it was easy to feel a connection towards the dollies of generations past. But after a five year hiatus from my plastic friends, I did not feel such warmth towards this new era that was foreign and mysterious to me. It was 2011 when my adult doll collecting journey began. Even though I had only refrained from buying dolls for five years, which in the grand scheme of life is quite insignificant, so much had changed. As I wandered the doll aisles for the first time in years, what I saw was almost unrecognizable. Barbie had new friends, new molds, new clothes, new packaging, and so did the rest of the dolly brands I encountered. I wasn't sure what to make of it all, or how I felt about it.
I recall that these first few encounters were conflicting. On the one hand, the part of me that naturally resists change and frowns upon the unknown felt repulsed by what I saw. But deep down, that inner dolly fanatic couldn't help but be curious. She couldn't stop herself from craving, wanting, lusting, and desiring these new Barbies. Even Colleen, who was always far more adamant that the "old was superior to the new" had to admit that some of these updated faces and ideas were too cool. And I recall there were many instances when we voiced that "We would have loved this set as kids," or "I wish I had this when I was younger." Most notably, we connected with the strong sisterly theme that stapled the Barbie franchise together. In the early 2000s, Skipper and Stacie slowly faded away, and even disappeared altogether for a brief time. But this dawning of the new decade brought with it a resurgence of family focus. There were so many sister sets and separately sold family dolls. And even though admittedly I was a tad bit offended that Kelly had been replaced by Chelsea, I was still glad to see Barbie had a younger sister represented. This made the 2010s Barbies so much more fun than I ever could have imagined. As kids, we yearned to collect all the sister dolls we could get our hands on, and it never lost novelty when Colleen and I bought a family set and divied up the dolls between us. The possibilities seemed endless, and I felt my inner 12 year old mind reeling with all the potential. We would have had a blast with that Sisters Go Camping! Camper. Colleen would have had a slew of Skipper and Stacie dolls to choose from. It wouldn't have been so easy for her to buy them all up in a short space of time, like it was when we were younger, since there are just so many available nowadays. And maybe that's what I loved most of all about this new side of Barbie. It made her world so much more fascinating knowing that there would be plenty to keep Colleen busy. I often felt bad growing up that I was always so easy to please and quick to be distracted/occupied by whatever dolls were on the market, whereas Colleen's natural interests were so much more limited and restrained. It was an awesome feeling going to the store for the first time in years, and each getting to pick out a doll we wanted so badly (like the time she picked out Sisters' Fun Day Stacie, aka Clara, and I got my Dead Tired re-release Cleo).
I think the major difference between the later years of our childhood collection and our present day one is the amount of focus we put on purchasing dolls brand new in the store. 2002 to 2004 was a time we spent buying brand new dolls nearly every weekend on our excursions with Dad. We therefore had lots of fairly up to date playsets, clothes, and dolls in our collection. But even so, I'd still say that a fair amount of what we decided to get was considered mildly out of date. Our resurgence back into dolls has been marked quite differently. While there were bouts of time we spent hunting stores for certain dolls, like Monster High, Moxie Girlz, and the latest Bratz, our Barbie collection for the most part remained mostly secondhand. It seemed a bit silly to buy the dolls brand new for more money, when they rarely went on good sales, when it was only a matter of time before they turned up discarded at the flea market in hardly played with condition. I think a lot of people confuse this absence of modern Barbies in my collection as a lack of interest, when that's not the case at all. In fact, I'd say the approach we have toward Barbies these days is very reminiscent of my early childhood. And in a way, that makes me that much fonder of my newer ladies and gents. For instance, my Life in the Dreamhouse Barbie isn't all that different from my very first doll, 1989 Ice Capades Barbie (aka Christina). Both were used, abused, and abandoned within the first few years of life. Christina was left half bald and without a trace of her clothes, and Life in the Dreamhouse Barbie had a strange burn hole through her dress that melted part of her stomach. Likewise, many of my earliest Fashionistas dolls were in various stages of mutilation when I rescued them from flea market lots, despite the fact they were not even five years old at the time. The feeling I get when I see a doll that is still sold in stores, sitting in a disheveled, neglected state at the flea market is one that cannot be compared to. It breaks my heart, whether the doll looks so mint, that it was obvious she was never truly loved, or whether she was tormented during her brief stint in life. And sadly it seems that these days more and more dolls are unloved, unwanted, and under appreciated by children who would rather play with a tablet or phone than interact with a plastic doll.
For this reason, I have a soft spot for the newer Barbies that isn't quite like how I feel for any of the other prior decades. And to top it off, most collectors also have little to no interest in this new generation. It's far more often I see scathing reviews ripping Barbie apart, than I see happy smiles and kind words towards these dolls. To some extent, I understand..after all, there is no shame in feeling fondness for what you grew up with. And to be fair, these newer dolls come with their share of issues--molded/painted clothes, hollow bodies, glue laden hair, recycled/repackaged faces, and generic, dull packaging. It's easy to overlook all the wonderful things that this decade of Barbie has offered that other generations lacked, but if you look close enough, you'll find so much to appreciate. Never before have I seen such diversity in a Barbie line. You can get tall Barbies, short Barbies, curvy Barbies, and dolls with every skin color under the sun. There are dolls with half shaven heads, man buns, and even Ken has body mold diversity. The sophistication of articulation has also increased with dolls like the Made to Move line that can literally sit cross-legged and touch their chins. And let's not forget that Barbie's accessories and playsets have also updated--she has a house that you can talk to. As a kid, it was so hard to find African American dolls, and growing up in the 90s/2000s, it was far easier for me than children of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Barbie's family members were the only true mold diversity. But nowadays, Barbie herself can take on so many forms. I think it's easy to focus on what is lacking from the current Barbie franchise, but once you redirect, it's plain to see how far she's come, and for the better, even if she does miss the mark from time to time.
No matter how Barbie evolves, or even if she's discontinued one day because nobody cares anymore, I'll always have a warm place for her in my heart and memories. Barbie was the one that started it all for me, even though my first doll was nothing flashy or exotic. She was the staple, the backbone of our doll games. And furthermore, getting back into dolls in 2011 would not have been nearly as exciting were it not for Barbie still being around. Some of my dolls from the 2010s are the most special in my collection, and in a way they really aren't all that different from my childhood companions. The Dolls of the World line was still in full swing back in 2011, when I purchased my very first store bought Barbie in half a decade--2011 India Barbie. When I freed her from her package that December night, she made me feel the same way my 1995 DOTW Indian Barbie, aka Nova, did back in 2003 when I got her at the flea market. And who could forget two of the dolls that I quite literally drool over every time I see them--Hair-Tastic! Color & Design Salon and 2011 Fashionistas Barbie?!! Even though these dolls were only out for a brief time compared to the other dolls from past decades I've coveted, I still feel that same magic when a doll I ogled at stores pops up at the local flea market. I was over the moon when I got Designable Hair, I Can Be...TV Chef Barbie, and my very first Barbie Basics doll. I'll never forget those early days of rediscovering my love for dolls, and the way this generation of Barbie still sparked my imagination and fueled this passion further. I've come to see that dolls are dolls, no matter what time frame they originated from or what brand they are. If I had to survive in a world where only present day Barbies existed, I know I'd still be a happy, fulfilled collector. At the end of the day, it's not really about the dolls themselves, but the memories you make and the attitude you choose to have towards them, and I know my collection would feel a bit lonely without my 2010s friends.

Que papel para o Estado na Economia? Esta é a questão que serve de mote ao título da apresentação “Liberalismo com sentimentos morais”. Com ela, remontamos ao tempo da economia enquanto ciência social e política, e utilizamos os problemas com que Portugal se confronta na actualidade como ilustração. Colocando em perspectiva os constrangimentos estruturais da nossa economia, o debate que propomos apresenta, num frente-a-frente, o “Estado que queremos” com o “Estado que podemos”.
