Today Is INTERNATIONAL WORKER'S DAY - May 01, 2020. Everybody loves to spend time on their hobbies – no matter whether you love shopping, diving, going to the cinema, travelling, hiking, or one of the thousands of other leisure activities, you probably spend a large part of your life figuring out how to it more often. Unfortunately, however, the truth is that in order to have the money to do what you love to do, you also have to work. Of course, there are some lucky people among us truly love their jobs, but regardless of how much we enjoy doing our jobs, we have to do them. But we should also remember that each and every little job we do is necessary and valuable to society, from garbage man to nurse to the teacher to the policeman. Together, all of us build the society, making it a better, safer place with each passing year. Now, isn't that something worth celebrating? We think it is, so let’s celebrate International Worker's Day together! The History of In

Portugal and 11 other European Union (EU) countries have asked the Commission for a temporary change in the rules for passengers with cancelled flights, for the ability to issue 'vouchers' instead of cash refunds, given carrier difficulties.

Rishi Kapoor: Bollywood's Romantic Hero Dies At 67 Years. Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor, famed for his romantic roles, has died of cancer aged 67. He was part of the Kapoor acting dynasty which has long dominated Bollywood, the Hindi film industry. The actor made a huge splash in 1973 with his first lead role in Bobby - a teenage love story. He played the romantic lead in dozens of films for over two decades, after which he made a successful transition to character roles. Rishi Kapoor debuted as a child actor in 1970 in his father Raj Kapoor's film, Mera Naam Joker. Several of his films in the 1980s and 90s - Khel Khel Mein, Karz and Chandni - became massive box office hits.

Obituary: Irrfan Khan, Star of Slumdog Millionaire and Indian Films. Irrfan Khan was one of Indian cinema's finest actors and among its most successful exports to Hollywood. A veteran of nearly 80 films, he almost gave up acting in his 30s - after an unrewarding decade in TV soaps. Khan lacked the looks for a traditional Bollywood romantic lead but made his name as a character actor in Hindi cinema and in Hollywood productions like Life of Pi, Slumdog Millionaire and Jurassic World. Deeply introspective and philosophical in nature, Khan would speak candidly and often controversially about both his Muslim religion and the film industries in which he worked. "I always object to the word Bollywood," he once told the Guardian. "That industry has its own technique that... has nothing to do with aping Hollywood. It originates in Parsi theatre. "Hollywood is too planned. India has no planning at all. It's more spontaneous and informal. India cou

Coronavirus: Asylum Seekers Return Portuguese Kindness During COVID-19 Lockdown. When asylum seekers landed in Italian ports last summer from across the Mediterranean, Portugal was one of the European countries that stepped in to help out. It provided support, lodging and access to the country’s healthcare systems to help thousands of refugees. Now those who have benefited from that help are showing their gratitude, by helping in the country’s fight to contain the coronavirus pandemic. Nadege is one of the five refugees who have been helping, among many Portuguese volunteers, in a solidarity kitchen, organised by The Braga International School, in northern Portugal. “I’ve decided to help because Portugal has helped me and my family when we passed through very difficult moments,” she said. “And to help people who have difficulties is a real pleasure for me.” The kitchen has distributed more than 9,000 meals to those in need. Some have lost their incomes. Ot

You’ll also need your vehicle registration document, MOT and a certificate of insurance. It can be helpful to carry your passport in case you are randomly stopped. You should carry a warning triangle and a reflective vest. You should give priority to traffic from the right. You’re not allowed to use green lanes on motorways unless you have an electronic toll collection device. It’s illegal to carry a can of petrol in your car. When a car flashes its headlights, it means they want the right of way – the opposite of how this works in some other European countries. Speed Limits in Portugal: An ‘on the spot’ traffic fine can apply, where police may demand immediate payment either in cash or by credit card. Fines range from around EUR 300 up to EUR 2,500, depending on the exc
