Question by H N: What resources did Portugal have and need in the 1800′s? What parts of Africa would be most desired to control?
I need to map out which parts of Africa I want while persuading other countries (Britain, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany and Italy) why i want it. The parts that i chose have to benefit production and an industry.

Get to know them better. This is not a task only to be accomplished through dating. The more you get to know him or her, the more you can tell if you like them as a friend or something else. Just talk and do fun activities with the person.
Stop and consider why you like the person. There are many physically attractive and smart people out there. But if you see something beyond that really catches your attention, you’ve marked this person as unique and probably like them. Why else would they stand out from so many?
Consider how many times you think about the person. If you find yourself thinking about this person several times a day, and they are happy thoughts that possibly make your heart beat faster, then you probably like them.
Think how often you laugh at their jokes etc. When you like someone, you will find yourself laughing at things even if they aren’t that funny. This is a natural attempt to make them feel appreciated.
If the one conversation between you and the person is stuck in you head and you cant stop telling people about it. this means it was important to you, and you probably like the person.
Consider how much you try to be near them. If you’ve planned your walking speed to catch a glimpse of them as many times of the day as possible, there is a good reason for that.
Think about how you feel if you touch him or her, by accident or on purpose. If you’re still thinking about brushing shoulders several hours ago in school, then that is a special thought and you probably like them.
If you feel you’re ready for a relationship, and are confident enough for a positive response, then just go ahead and ask them out. If you’re unsure of their feelings for you, there are several wikihows on how to tell if someone likes you.

Q&A: When can I start my renewal process for my portugal passport?

May 20th, 2011 Posted in portugal | 2 Comments »

Question by konoyei: When can I start my renewal process for my portugal passport?
Six month before the expire date is what I heard. Just want to confirm, thanks.
Thanks for the advice. I think my main concern is I tried to renew my passport 8 ~ 9 months before the expiration date in 2003 and they didn’t accept it and told me I should have waited till 6 months before it expires. I need some document to prove it is the case to a US consulate as I will be applying for a working visa this month (7 months before my passport expires)

Best answer:

Answer by FRAGINAL-NOYPI
Renew your passport even when it is not yet expired when you will be leaving within six months.

Question by iam972: Why is Germany playing Portugal in the World Cup?
I am enjoying the coverage on The World Cup, but I don’t understand all of the rules of the game. I see that France plays Italy on the 9th of July. Why is Germany playing Portugal on July 8th when they were both defeated this week?

Best answer:

Answer by Ana Sofia PT
Because both lost in semi-finals. Germany lost with italy 0-2. And we lost with France 0-1 (penalty in 1st half). Who wins will be 3rd place in WC!

Any one think they know the answer or can throw some hints in my direction? I always sucked at any comparing question, no matter what it was.

Best answer:

Answer by jed.exodus7
They built ships and they occupied a power vacuum. There was no real opposition, France and England didn’t really get interested in colony building until the 17th century.
