Eduardo J. Couture

 This man was an Uruguayan jurist, teacher and writer whose works are fundamental to the teaching of procedural law in Latin América. He was born in Montevideo in 1904 and died in 1954, at the age of 51.

He is considerated one of the greatest Latin American lawyer of all times, and one of his books called "Basis of the procedural civil law", is essential in the introduction courses of this subject, because it have a lot of basic concepts clearly explained, and the entire book is really friendly with the students, inasmuch as try to have a simple language to explain every single thing.
Such was his fame, that a lot of countries wants him to teach classes, courses and conferences in their universities, so he traveled the world teaching in cities like París, New York, New Orleans,Vienna, Rome, Lima, Sao Paulo, and in our country, in the city of Valparaíso.
In the year 1951 was named "Knight of the Legion of Honour" by France, for his contribution to the legal culture.
But the first thing I read from him, was his famous "Decalogue of the lawyer", a kind of compass or treasure map, which shows you the way to be a good lawyer. I'm gonna put the link (the purple thing in the bottom) of this anyway, but as a summary, Eduardo said that you have to study, think, work, fight, be loyal, tolerate, be patient, have faith, be able to forget and love the profession (the most important thing), to improve every day as a lawyer.
Regards!

My favorite song (?)

So many songs that I love! It's too difficult to pick one, but I'm gonna try to do it.
One of my favorites songs is New Born, performed by Muse, a British alternative rock band. This song was relased in 2001, in the second studio album of the band, called "Origin of Symmetry" (their best album for me, by the way).
Q Magazine positioned this album in the #76, in their list of the 100 best albums in history. A funny fact from this album was that this album don't saw the light in the USA until 2005, because the brand in charge of promote the band in this country thought that the vocal style of Matt Bellamy (the vocalist of Muse) wasn't "friendly" for the radio. This brands ask to Muse to change some songs, but the band refused.
I love this song because it have everything! A beautiful piano intro, good riffs and a stunning guitar solo.
The topic of the song is very disperse, but in a few words, it's about getting a new born and try to find the happiness after a soulless past life.
Maybe this is not my favorite song, but it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
That's all. Regards and don't forget that MUSE ROCKS!

Hi everyone! This picture was taken by my friend Emil while we were taking a bike ride in a lonely part of Rengo, called Chanqueahue, the little town where Vital water (yes, the brand) is extracted.
What you can see in this picture? First of all, a beautiful summer sky in a country-side sector of this city, and a lot of trees in both sides of the path.
Also you can see 2 guys riding at the right of the way. That's me (the one with the sky-blue shirt) and Nicolás (another friend).
And maybe the most beautiful thing, is that there was no cars! It's absolutely different to Santiago, where no matter where you look, there's a car or a big building.
It was taken in the summer of this year, and a I love it because shows how pretty is my city (or at least, a part of it), and because that day we reach to a river near the Vital factory (like 30 minutes later of the photo), and we swam there. It was a beautiful day.
Regards!.
