(relato de um desdobramento de alma...)

DORMIR NÃO É MOR-RER, MORRER NÃO É EXTINGUIR-SE"autor": Nilton Bustamante

Logo após eu fechar meus olhos, segui para outros cam-pos de Deus... Mais que pe-numbra, era algo pesado. Algo que machucava a vista da minha alma. O negrume não era ação do dia ou da noite, era a moral daqueles do lugar que estava se extin-guindo, triste.

Centenas de corpos faziam sexo degradante que envergo-nhariam a classe dos animais. As emanações vibratórias vi-ravam o estômago.

A estrada era longa, amonto-ados de corpos se devoravam. A energia era densa, ruim... Percebi que eram irmãos meus dominados por vícios horrendos, seculares.

Há de se ressaltar que o sexo é esplendor. É expressão de vida. É atração, comunhão de sentimentos que atritam a

chama dos desejos, é leveza. O sexo, quando limpo, como toda energia limpa, é lindo, é Natureza, divina energia vi-tal. Almas encarnadas usam seus corpos, suas extensões e em frenéticos ou delicados gestos se aproximam, se ex-perimentam, se conhecem, se atraem. Mais que para as funções de perpetuar a raça humana, é exercício de amor.

Mas, tudo o que o homem de-turpa torna-se medonho, tor-na-se agressivo, constrange-dor, perda sobre perda.

Naqueles ares de chumbo, meu olhar mirava por onde eu poderia passar incólume de tantas vibrações terríveis. Quando uma intuição falou--me, olhei ao alto e comecei a orar. E na primeira ema-nação, no primeiro balbu-ciar mental da prece bendita toda aquelas imagens grotes-cas desmancharam-se como se desmancham uma fumaça diante da ventania ordeira, ou como se o aguaçal em lodo represado é rompido por uma força maior, assim feito uma represa com suas comportas abertas levassem tudo...

O fluido do espírito na ma-téria sendo usado para des-materializar as formas pen-samentos que extrapolavam o tempo da espera, o tempo das oportunidades. A providên-cia divina, na visão superior, sabe de seus planos, de suas ações benditas, que, no fundo, é sempre a favor de todos, to-dos sem exceção alguma.

Mesmo quando somos leva-dos pelas correntezas fluí-dicas, espirituais, são para despertar-nos do transe da erraticidade que podemos mal acostumados nos encontrar. E se eu naquele instante, na-quela circunstância, estava sendo usado pela Espirituali-dade, não foi por mérito meu, longe, mas muito longe dis-so, é que nossos Irmãos são mesmo pacientes e insistem a nos conceder todas as oportu-nidades de sermos úteis nas transformações e reformas nos campos de Deus.

Quando achamos que esta-mos "atuando" em favor de alguém, estamos, sim, é atu-ando em nosso íntimo favor.

A Palavra e o PoetaNilton Bustamane

Continuei a caminhada, al-guns obstáculos.

Sabia que tinha que seguir avante. Talvez a mesma for-ça das tartarugas ao rompe-rem as cascas impeditivas de seus ovos que, no primeiro momento parecem cárceres, mas, são proteção e guarida; o invisível as impulsionam mar adentro...

Quando eu precisava me adiantar, avançar para ultra-passar meus mares, meus oce-anos, cujas distâncias eram imponderáveis, intuíram-me para olhar mais ao alto e vi um par de cabos elétricos, des-ses dos trólebus. Foi somente pensar e o meu pensamento me conectou aos fios elétri-cos e disparei em velocidade vertiginosa para um destino que não sabia, nem imagi-nava. Apenas me entreguei. Confiei, pois sabia que estava em boa companhia. Ao final, ao chegar à minha parada, deparei-me com um menino que tinha um carrinho, des-ses que se oferecem algo aos pedestres. Meu coração cha-mou-me, algo iria acontecer de muito significativo para mim, quando, paradoxo, co-meçou uma tremenda e suave chuva de papéis, como se fosse

uma festa. Ficou nítido para mim, que eram papéis carre-gando ‘mensagens’. Vinham de outras esferas. O menino esticou sua pequena mão, pe-gou um desses papéis, depois outro, e entregou-me.

Eram duas cartas escritas. Assim que essas mensagens tocaram minhas mãos soube imediatamente do remeten-te, sua imagem apresentou-se dentro de mim. Tratava-se do meu melhor amigo dessa en-carnação, Rubens de Olivei-ra, já desencarnado. Foi ele, que, pacientemente, me enca-minhou à codificação karde-quiana.

Pela escrita, a digital de sua caligrafia. Uma alegria to-mou-me por inteiro. Lia aten-tamente – ao mesmo tempo perguntava se lembrar-me-ia depois de tudo quanto meus olhos passavam –, quando somente um trecho ficou gra-vado da missiva em minha lembrança, consciente, o su-ficiente para tirar-me a dúvi-da, para tirar-me o desnorteio que minha alma amargava. Um nome mostrou-se, um nome que eu deveria desviar--me passos e pensamentos. Guardo, agora, como uma bandeira a perseguir. Algo da

minha reforma íntima, algo para desviar-me de prováveis descaminhos de ilusórios sen-timentos.

Ao despertar na matéria, no “mundo dos homens”, fiquei muito feliz com aquele des-dobramento de minha alma, por saber, mais uma vez, que somos bem acompanhados, que não somos esquecidos por quem nos ama com o amor maior. Na minha lembran-ça, realmente ficou parte da mensagem, mas, no íntimo do meu ser, a íntegra há de nor-tear-me pelas minhas idas e vindas, eternas. Receberemos sempre as instruções dos pla-nos divinos para a nossa rica jornada de acontecimentos e experiências.

Cada vez mais, fica-me claro:

Dormir não é morrer, morrer não é extinguir-se.

Brazil Moves Up to 8th Largest Business Tra-vel Market in the World, Poised for Continued Growth

The GBTA Foundation, the education and rese-arch arm of the Global Business Travel Associa-tion (GBTA) - announces the results of its latest GBTA BTI(TM) Outlook - Brazil report, a semi--annual business travel outlook and overall eco-nomic analysis of Brazil. The report, sponsored by Visa Inc., includes the GBTA BTI(TM); an index of business travel spen-ding that distills market performance over a pe-riod of time.

Key highlights of the re-port include:Despite two quarters of weaker economic growth in 2013, GBTA projects total spending on business travel will grow 12.5 percent in 2014 to $37 billion USD,

and another 5.9 percent in 2015. The upcoming presidential elections could positively impact these numbers as well.• Annual spending on

business travel in Brazil has tripled sin-ce 2000.

• Brazil's business tra-vel industry moved up one spot in the rankings from last year to become the 8(th) largest business travel market in the world. If Brazil can get economic growth back on track, GBTA expects it to continue to climb the ranks of the top business tra-vel markets in the

world, likely surpas-sing South Korea and France during the next 10 years.• Domestic business

travel spending grow-th in Brazil has slowed significantly off its ag-gressive pace earlier in the decade, mostly due to the slowdown

in the once-charging domestic economy. GBTA expects domes-tic business travel spending will stren-gthen a bit in 2014, however, as firms and policymakers conti-nue to take strides to boost productivity and competitiveness. GBTA expects 12.3 percent growth in 2014 before it mode-rates to 5.4 percent in 2015.

• Growth in interna-tional outbound (IOB) business travel was hit hard in recent years mostly due to the ex-ternal environment, but the worstappears to be in the past as a recovery in the Euro Area, Brazil's largest trading partner, is underway. GBTA ex-pects IOB spending will advance 13.1 per-cent in 2014 followed by another 8.1 per-cent in 2015 hitting $7.2 billion USD.

GBTA Foundation Continues to Forecast Double Digit Growth for Brazil's Business Travel Spend in 2014

"This forecast tellsa story of continuing positive growth in Brazil despi-te recent volatility," said Wellington Costa, presi-dent of GBTA Brazil. "The encouraging turnaround for international outbou-nd business travel spen-ding paired with expec-ted domestic growth as well shows suppliers and travel managers that Bra-zil is a key market to be in for businesses expanding globally."

"With the forecast for in-creased business travel to and from Brazil, tra-vel will continue to be an important sector of the Brazilian economy," said Percival Jatoba, Vice Pre-sident of Products of Visa Brazil. "Visa is committed to providing a secure, glo-

bally accepted payment option for business trave-lers, a vital step toward economic growth."

Infrastructure Growth Moving Forward With World Cup and Summer Olympics Looming Brazil continues its race to ex-pand infrastructure, par-ticularly transportation infrastructure, as the cou-ntry prepares to host the World Cup later this year and the Summer Olympics in 2016. In the World Eco-nomic Forum's 2012-2013 Global Competitiveness report, Brazil ranked 107 out of 144 countries for quality of infrastructure falling three spots from the previous year. Brazil seeks major improvement including modernization of ports, the expansion of

airports and the repair of crumbling highways, and is attempting to meet the-se challenges through pri-vatization. While it will be a challenge to complete these projects in time for the World Cup, these ef-forts should have signifi-cant impacts on trade and business travel in Brazil over the next decade.

World Cup Impact on Bu-siness Travel.Travel managers who al-ready have arrangements in place for travel du-ring the World Cup are in a good position. Those looking to make arrange-ments during that time-frame should act quickly as it's possible they could face higher prices and li-mited availability as the event nears.

Brasil alcança o 8o lugar entre os maiores mercados de viagem de negó-cios no mundo e está pronto para con-tinuar a crescer.A Fundação GBTA, a divisão educacio-nal e de pesquisa da Associação Mun-dial de Viagens de Negócios (GBTA -- Global Business Travel Association), anuncia os resultados de seu último relatório "GBTA BTI(TM) Outlook -- Brazil", uma perspectiva semestral das viagens de negócios e análise da economia geral do Brasil. O relatório, patrocinado pela Visa Inc., inclui o GBTA BTI(TM), um índice dos dispên-dios em viagens de negócios, que ex-trai o desempenho do mercado em um certo período de tempo.

Principais destaques do relatório incluem:Apesar de dois trimestres de cresci-mento econômico mais fraco em 2013, a GBTA projeta que os dispêndios to-tais em viagens de negócios vão cres-cer 12,5 por cento em 2014, atingindo US$ 37 bilhões, e mais 5,9 por cento em 2015. As próximas eleições presi-denciais também podem impactar po-sitivamente esses números.• Os dispêndios anuais em viagens

de negócios no Brasil triplicar des-de 2000.

• O setor de viagens de negócios no Brasil subiu um patamar no ranking, em comparação com o ano passado, tornando-se o 8o maior mercado de viagens de negócios do mundo. Se o Brasil conseguir colo-car seu crescimento econômico de

volta nos trilhos, a GBTA espera que deve continuar subindo no ranking dos maiores mercados de viagens de negócios do mundo, superando, provavelmente, a Coreia do Sul e a França nos próximos 10 anos.

• O crescimento dos dispêndios em viagens de negócios domésticas no Brasil reduziu significativamente seu passo agressivo no início da dé-cada, devido principalmente ao de-saquecimento da economia domés-tica, antes aquecida. Entretanto, a GBTA espera que os dispêndios em viagens de negócios domésticas vão se fortalecer um pouco em 2014, conforme as empresas e os formu-ladores de políticas continuam a tomar medidas para fomentar a produtividade e a competitividade. A GBTA espera um crescimento de 12,3 por cento em 2014, antes de se assentar em 5,4 por cento em 2015.

Fundação GBTA continua a prever crescimento de dois dígitos nos dispêndios com viagens de negócios no Brasil em 2014

• O crescimento das viagens de negócios internacionais fora do país (IOB international ou-tbound) foi golpeado duramente nos anos recentes, devido ao am-biente externo, mas o pior pare-ce estar no passado, porque a re-cuperação da Área do Euro, que representa o maior grupo de par-ceiros do Brasil, está a caminho. A GBTA espera que os dispêndios IOB irão avançar 13,1 por cento em 2014, seguido por mais 8,1 por cento em 2015, atingindo US$ 7,2 bi-lhões.

"Essa previsão revela a história de um crescimen-to positivo do Brasil, ape-sar da volatilidade recen-te", disse o presidente da GBTA Brasil, Wellington Costa. "A reviravolta en-corajadora nos dispêndios com viagens de negócios internacionais e o cresci-mento doméstico esperado mostram aos fornecedores e aos administradores de viagens que o Brasil é um mercado essencial para se estar, para se expandir os negócios globalmente", afirmou.

"Com a previsão do aumen-to das viagens de negócios do Brasil e para o Brasil, o setor de viagens continua-rá a ser importante para a economia brasileira", disse o vice-presidente de Pro-dutos da Visa Brasil, Per-cival Jatobá. "A Visa Brasil se compromete a fornecer opção de pagamento segu-ra, mundialmente aceitá-

vel, aos viajantes de negó-cios, um passo vital para o crescimento econômico", afirmou.

O crescimento da infraes-trutura está avançando com a Copa do Mundo e os Jogos Olímpicos se aproxi-mandoO Brasil continua em sua corrida para expandir sua infraestrutura, particu-larmente a infraestrutu-ra de transporte, confor-me o país se prepara para sediar a Copa do Mundo em junho e julho deste ano e os Jogos Olímpicos em 2016. No relatório so-bre Competitividade Glo-bal no Fórum Econômico Mundial de 2012-2013, o Brasil se classificou em 107o lugar, entre 144 pa-íses, em qualidade da in-fraestrutura, caindo três lugares em comparação ao ano anterior. O Brasil está promovendo melhoras im-portantes, incluindo mo-

dernização dos portos, a expansão dos aeroportos e o reparo de suas rodo-vias ruins, e está tentando resolver esses problemas através da privatização. Embora seja um desafio concluir esses projetos a tempo para a Copa do Mun-do, esses esforços devem ter impactos significativos no comércio e nas viagens de negócios no Brasil, na próxima década.

Impacto da Copa do Mun-do nas viagens de negóciosOs administradores de via-gem, que já se prepararam para lidar com viagens de negócios durante a Copa do Mundo, estão em uma boa posição. Aqueles que ainda pretendem se prepa-rar para tirar proveito do evento devem se apressar, porque podem ter de en-frentar preços mais altos e disponibilidade limitada, conforme a Copa se apro-xima.

Gilson Rodrigues, owner at Vit-torio’s Restaurant and Gilson’s Restaurant his newest venue, hosted a large group of Brazi-lian Entrepreneurs from Cea-ra’-Brazil in Early April.

They have travelled from Bra-zil to the USA to learn more about business and visited Apple and Harley Davidson where they watched videos about the Companies and they had the opportunity to listen to Gilson’s History and experience as a valuable lesson.

They were a great group of pe-ople, avid to hear and learn everything they could, infor-mation about the Restaurant Business and his lifetime jour-ney as a Business Man.

In his story Gilson tells about his arrival to the USA at age 20, his will to work hard and catch his dream.

“Anyone can dream but not everyone finds a way to catch their dre-

am, and this is a fundamen-tal difference. You must be willing to work hard, and conquer all challenges, be-come legal, and be tireless.

He believes the first part is to

become legalized in order to get where you need to be and to achieve success. The immigration process is hard and expensive, requires a lot, then after this first step be able to open your business, establish your brand and work harder. Gilson believes that his success comes from his large ex-perience, his ability to listen to his clients, and never refuse a customer. His doors are always open, to friends, dedicated em-ployees and clients. His secret is dedication and vision.

He spoke about the process of building Gilson’s, his ultimate dream, and how important it was to use his own experience and self-confidence.

Many questions were asked, all about the structure, financial structure and employees profi-ling used to hire the right per-son, salary range etc. You could see they were interested to le-arn and maybe invest in Orlan-do in the near future. Gilson was applauded many times, his story is inspiring, encouraging, and invites people to dream like he did.

It was a great opportunity and we all learn a lot from him.

The Citizens Council of Florida Met in Orlando

With Community Leaders

The Council Mission is to promote a better Relationship between Bra-zilian Citizens and the Brazilian Consulate, a representation of the Brazilian Government in the USA

A Brief History of the Council.

In accordance with the Rules of the Consular Legal Department , the Citizens Council aims to: bring the Brazilian Consulate – General close to the Communi-ty; plan and implement projects to benefit the local community; allow the exchange of ideas and information gathe-red, by the Consulate – General, on the ne-eds, problems and in-terests of the Brazilian community in Florida in order to enhance the provision of con-sular services, among others. Leaders have a term of two years, renewab-le for the same period, and were called becau-se of their representa-tions and their work developed in the Bra-zilian community in its jurisdiction .

The Citizens Council is

chaired by the Consul – General in Miami Helio Ramos Filho and has as members the following citizens: the President of Brazil International Foundation Aloysio Vasconcellos; the Por-tuguese Program at Florida International University , Augusta vono ; President of Bra-zil Focus Foundation, Carlos Borges; Presi-dent of the ” Interna-tional English Parents Association ” – PIPA , Cristina Brulay; Presi-dent of the Rotary Club of Brazil to Orlando , Marcia Van Guilder; a Director of Sales and Marketing ” Broward Center for the Perfor-ming Arts ”, Maria do Carmo Fulfaro; Direc-tor of Development” Rhythm Foundation”, Gene de Souza; the Plastic Artist Jade Ma-tarazzo; Director of the Chamber of Commer-ce Brazil -US , Renato Scaff; the Executive Director of New Hope Care Center, Sandra Freier; Director of the Community Network for Brazilians in Flo-rida Silair Almeida; the President of Brazi-lian Community Cen-ter, Urban Saints; Yara

The meeting in Orlan-do was conducted in the Rotary Club Brazil Orlando Office, and it had the main purpo-se of meet and cause awareness about the Council’s mission and purpose.

The most important aspect of this meeting was to make it clear that both The Consu-late and the Council want to facilitate the interaction between the Brazilian Commu-nity and them, in order to present solutions to many of the problems that Brazilian Citizens have and find it diffi-cult to solve.

The dynamic between Brazilian citizens and government entities abroad, needed a me-diator and that is what will happen starting with the mapping and all data they will be doing in order to get closer from many Bra-zilian citizens that are residents in The State of Florida and need a better representation.

Brazilians are in fa-vor of a representation

that will really bring their questions to the table and will try to solve them without a political agenda.

The choice to bring some community lea-ders to the council, gi-ves a re-enforcement to the theory that these leaders will be able to fight for their commu-nity.

The Itamaraty (Minis-tery of External Affairs for the Brazilian Go-vernment) Jurispru-dence, decided that the presence of leaders from Miami and Orlan-do in the Council was of extreme importance due to the urgency of this project.

For more than 20 years now, Brazilians come to the US and many times their needs are not met for, lack of communication, infor-mation and even exces-sive distance to make it viable a visit to the Consulate.

This must change, as also the presence of the Consulate in Orlando. It is already predicted

by law, but it must be approved by the Bra-zilian Senate, and this may take some time, unless the people put pressure on the issue.

There are many Bra-zilian Citizens in Or-lando and their voice must be heard on the matter. The Council was able to bring the Brazilian Presidential Elections to voters in Orlando that no longer will have to travel to Miami to vote.

This was a great step and the council was heard. It is important also to mention that not all Countries give their people a repre-sentation other than a Consulate or Embassy. Brazil is a pioneer in this type of initiative, and we must recognize that. The Council me-etings are every two months, at the Consu-late of Miami and also in Orlando.

Superstation Dinner in Orlando Brings Great Surprises.

Superstation Media-Joaquim & Yara Cavaignac -Exclusives Representatives of Globo International in the US, Latin America and Caribe

Jo and Ivy Bernard Comedian Amadeu Maya- Globo

Superstation Media – Globo Interna-tional USA, Latin America and Caribe sole representatives, Joaquim & Yara Cavaignac come to Orlando one more time to share the great News. As Yara says the good and the bad, but in a whole, the powerful Globo has a lot to celebrate.

From the Network point of view, the packages for advertisement have the same perks of last year, and the en-forcement comes from a series of new shows and novelas that are coming to help pull the younger audience, and fa-milies to the front of the TV, and join the other millions of consumers they already have. And it is great! The more the merrier, since GloboTV now has conquered the title of Second Biggest Network in the World, and that is an undeniable advantage.

Superstation Media is for sure a great representation of Globo International, has done it for a long time, and leaves no space for any doubt.

Globo International has a powerful line of shows, the appeal and the market that was opened by the millions of Bra-zilians that now live abroad is so strong that it became a huge source of spec-tators and therefore consumers. Com-panies need advertisement, and adver-tisement requires a demand that not everyone can attend. Globo penetrates

millions of homes every day at any gi-ven time of the day, it is a perfect mat-ch. You do the math, I have the product, you have the public, let’s do business.

Globo International represented by Superstation Media provides an open door to the Brazilian Market, in land or overseas, giving companies the exposu-re to reach the Brazilian Consumer in Brazil, in the USA, Latin America or Caribe.

Right now in the Brazilian headquar-ters, a new line of shows was created to suit all different targets. The series “A grande Familia” (Big Family) is in its last season, with a lot of sadness by all that followed the show for so many ye-ars, but in the other hand a lot of good is coming our way, and it all promises to fulfill the spectator needs, and keep the audience growing.

Superstation Media once again delive-red the news and we are looking opti-mistic towards another year of pure emotion, with the World Soccer Cup that this time will be in the hands of another Network-ESPN and Univision, but nothing is perfect, and we just have to accept it and make the best of it. For now, we are glade we are a part of this great event and hope for a great success in Miami on Monday, the event is filled with surprides and we are sure will be great.

BIBA Comes to America !

THE BEST SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT !

THE BEST SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT !

We had a weekend to remem-ber in Orlando ! Saturday with a great event at Gilson’s -The CFBACC First Annual Feijoa-da, on Sunday the Superstation Dinner at Nelore Steakhouse in Winter Park, and what could top that all with a cherry?! A surprise that Superstation im-ported from Brazil, The BIBA!

A BIBA do Faustão! A busi-ness meeting, where everyone is paying attention, serious, looking at all the great news and Yara says, let’s Bring out-the BiBA! At a first moment I am thinking, who could it be, because away from Brazil for so long, I don’t follow the shows and new trends in Brazil, but believe me it caused an impact! Biba is a character created by comedian Amadeu Maya, origi-nally from Ceara’-Brazil.

Amadeu has passed by major TV Networks in the past, and it is well known, but now he fou-nd his home at Globo Tv-Brazil and every Sunday makes his presence at Domingão do Faus-tão, a very popular show among Brazilians.

At the first moment everyone was kind of in chock from the

unexpected arrival, of a guy dressed all in pink! But after a few seconds he just broke the ice, and from there was all lau-gh! All of us, the audience, we were just waiting for more, but he had to go, the show was co-ming to an end.

It was wonderful! BiBA Rocks and made us all remember how good it is to laugh at things in our own language. I asked Ama-deu the creator and imperso-nator of BiBA, how did he find her, and he said she found Me! And it is a great persona! BiBA is happy, funny, and she is not afraid to be who she is! She was the light of the party and we hope she comes back soon, to make us all laugh till we drop!BIBA Conquered Orlando!

Marcos has a large experience in the field and has participated as a reporter in the most important world events in the field. Working with Globo TV for 13 years, gave him the chance to wit-ness many great moments in the sports realm.

He has in his mind and heart all the greatest memories of breaking mo-ments, interviews and unforgettable personalities, such as the last Olympics in England where he had the opportu-nity to speak with many athletes, and all of them ended the Olympic Games as Gold medalists, such as Michael Phelps.

He also spoke with Soccer Star David Beckham, and he considers this one of the greatest in his reporter career.

The choice to come to America came with the need to learn more, study and be a part of this Country where the sports world is so vast and rich. He re-flected about the USA powerful force holding the highest number of Olym-pic medals, until the Olympic Games in Pequim, where China showed a strong participation, conquering a higher number of medals, but today, this is al-ready reversed, and the USA is again a leader. Marcos admires this force and determination, he fells in the USA, the athlete has more respect, more chances of success. Education walks along with sports, and it is rewarded with endless possibilities of scholarships, a great ca-

reer, and endorsements.

Marcos says : “ I hoped that by now Bra-zil would have learned from the US ex-ample and copied the American system, favoring the athlete’s education and al-lowing him to succeed on both, a career in Sports and Educational.”

It is often seen today, where many young athletes in Brazil, that are a promise to their teams, are not encouraged to study and get a college education, it is import-ant for them to be given this opportu-nity, but sadly it is not the way it is, and there are no signs of change.

Marcos recently joined the Orlando City Soccer as a Portuguese narrator for all the In house games, and is now settling with his family in Orlando, and also going for his MBA. The Orlando City Lions is transmitting the games in Portuguese, live through the Internet and this has brought the interest of new fans to the team that want to be a greater part of it, want to participate live in the transmissions, and that is a huge step for the team that hopes to bring many Brazilian fans to Orlando.

Bring Marcos is one of the great efforts to bring the OCS closer to the Brazilian community here and abroad, that own-er Flavio Augusto da Silva made, since he became the major investor.

Everything is taking place to launch by 2015, when the new major stadium will be ready for the season of 2016. We are hoping to see a few Brazilian Soccer stars rein-forcing the team also.

Talking about the World Soc-cer Cup, Mar-cio mentioned that Brazil lost a great opportu-nity to show the world its poten-tial as a Struc-tured, exempla-ry organizer of this event to just show a great par-ty, and disregard the opportunity of leaving a cul-

tural legacy for years to come. Most projects that were created for the event never became a reality. But it is undeniable that the worldwide impact will be great and no matter what the outcome, everybody will see it.Marcio is very excited with his new life here, and he is looking forward to the success of the Orlando City and we are glad we met and could talk . We wish him all the success. Laiz Rodrigues-Editor in Chief

The event providedan ear-ly look at the $200 million project now under con-struction on Internation-al Drive. Merlin Enter-tainments also announced the official project name, I-Drive 360, and its target-ed opening date of spring 2015. I-Drive 360 will be home to three headlining attractions—the Orlando Eye observation wheel, Madame Tussauds Orlan-do Wax Museum and the Sea Life Orlando Aquari-um.

“This is another great day for Central Florida. In ad-dition to the incredible economic and job creation impact of I-Drive 360, this new entertainment com-plex will provide visitors and residents alike with world-class entertainment and dining amenities,” said Mayor Jacobs. “The presence of this project will help Orlando main-tain its status as a premier global destination.”

I-Drive 360 is being devel-oped by Orlando-based Unicorp National Devel-opments Inc. and New York-based Circle Enter-tainment Inc. The project will feature several at-tractions, shops and eat-eries, including Central Florida’s first Yard House, which opens on April 24. Other I-Drive 360 details include: • The Orlando Eye, con-structed by a Swiss com-pany, will be the tallest observation wheel on the East Coast and will be the centerpiece of the I-Drive 360 complex. At 425 feet, guests will ride in air con-ditioned capsules as they slowly make their way around the wheel. The wheel assembly is slated to begin in June. Accord-ing to Unicorp President Chuck Whittall, the proj-

ect could be ready for a grand opening in March 2015.• I-Drive 360 will afford the corridor with a new venue for large, open-air events. Corporations look-ing to have post-conven-tion gatherings will have an opportunity to host parties with the three at-tractions as a backdrop.• A Merlin Entertainments annual pass will not only provide access to the three I-Drive 360 attractions, but also to the LEGOLAND Florida parks. Additional-ly, a shuttle that currently takes guests from the Or-lando Premium Outlets-In-ternational Drive will lat-er move to the I-Drive 360 site behind the Orlando Eye, offering guests in the convention area an oppor-tunity to add that experi-ence to their trip.

Lone Sailor Memorial Honors Orange County’s Military and Veterans

Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs re-cently joined citizens in honoring veterans and active military personnel at the

Lone Sailor Navy Memorial Groundbreak-ing Ceremony and the Central Florida Navy League of the United States Annual

Wounded Warrior Walk, Run, and Roll at Blue Jacket Park. “As the former site of the legendary Naval Training Center, it is fit-ting that we now have a memorial to hon-or the courage and patriotic service of the thousands of young men and women who called Orange County home during their military training,” said Mayor Jacobs. “This is a way of making sure that every service man or woman that is serving today knows how much we appreciate their devotion to our country.”

Mayor Jacobs was also joined by Con-gressman Daniel Webster, Congressman John Mica, District 4 Commissioner Jen-nifer Thompson, City of Orlando Com-missioner Robert Stuart, other elected officials and community leaders in the groundbreaking of the new Lone Sailor Memorial.

The monument is the 14th Lone Sail-or Memorial in the nation and the first to be placed on former Navy property. It memorializes Orlando's Naval Train-ing Center which was used for enlisted recruits from 1965 through 1995. More than 650,000 sailors trained at the facili-ty, which brought in more than $500 mil-lion to Orlando’s economy, according to the Central Florida Navy League.

The Lone Sailor statue, created by Stan-ley Bleifeld who is the U.S. Navy Memo-rial's official sculptor, will contain two pieces – the Sailor, who stands 7 feet tall and weighs approximately 1,000 pounds, and his sea bag and cleat weighing 700 pounds.

As part of the casting process, the bronze for the Lone Sailor will be mixed with ar-tifacts from eight U.S. Navy ships provid-ed by the curator for the Navy in the Na-val Historical Center of the Washington Navy Yard.

The monument of the Lone Sailor will serve as a reminder of the Navy’s pres-ence in Central Florida, as well as an inspiration to those who are current-ly serving and will serve in the United States Navy.

Disney Parks Around the World Celebrated the 50th Anniversary of 'it's a small world' with Global Sing-along, on last April 10

Celebration Continues Virtually at Small-World50.com, Where Fans Record 'It's a Small World' Song and Design Dolls to Ben-efit UNICEF.Anaheim-California, Lake Buena Vis-

ta-Florida, Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong.

Celebrating the 50(th) anniversary of Disney's "it's a small world" theme park attraction, thousands of guests and cast members at Disney Parks around the globe united today in a historic "It's a Small World" sing-along.

Fans everywhere joined in online at SmallWorld50.com, a "global hub" of mu-sic and harmony created for the Golden Anniversary of the iconic attraction that opened as a tribute to peace and hope, saluting UNICEF, at the 1964 New York World's Fair.

“’It’s a Small World’ has inspired hun-dreds of millions of people through its timeless theme,” said Tom Staggs, chair-man, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “Every moment of every day there are Disney guests enjoying ‘it’s a small world’ somewhere around the globe. The 50th anniversary of this attraction represents a celebration of the shared optimism, hope, and humanity of people through-out the world.”

Throughout the day, Disney Parks guests participated in events in all five resorts around the world, including in-park sing-alongs, cavalcades and special musical performances. Richard M. Sherman, the Oscar®-winning songwriter who com-posed “It’s a Small World” with his late brother, Robert, led a sing-along at Disn-eyland Park in California and participat-ed in a Google Hangout that can be seen at SmallWorld50.com.

Going into Thurs-day's events, vis-itors from more than 150 nations had already joined the cele-bration at: www.SmallWorld50 .com

They have de-signed enough digital dolls and recorded enough videos of them-selves singing the song to reach half of Disney's goal on the site, and they will contin-ue to play along through May 30.

Disney will do-nate $150,000 to benefit UNICEF as part of the an-niversary cele-bration, plus $1 for every video or doll created, up to $100,000.

UNICEF works to provide health care and immu-nizations, clean water and san-itation, nutri-tion, education, emergency relief and more to chil-dren around the world.

Soco FreireUma Viagem Pelas Cores.

Soco FreireUma Viagem Pelas Cores. Por Edmundo Cavalcanti

Esta jovem artista brasilei-ra, hoje radicada em Orlan-do na Florida, finalmente tem seu talento reconheci-do, e nos traz muita alegria e satisfação, ela acaba de ser premiada como melhor Artes Visuais - USA pelo Brazilian International

Press Awards 2014, o maior evento Brasileiro de artes e cultura fora do Brasil, estan-do ao lado agora de consagra-dos artistas brasileiros.

Soco Freire começou sua car-reira como artista plástica em 1996. Nascidana cidade João Pessoa, Brasil vivendo atualmente na Florida, EUA. Desde criança Soco adorava desenhar. Sempre muito cu-riosa,logo cedo Soco passou a experimentar o mundo das cores.

"Eu comecei a experi-mentar a arte em idade precoce, sentada ao lado do meu pai Pedro Mar-tins, desenhista gráfico.

O amor de meu pai pela arte me inspirou, enchendo minha

imaginação com cores e for-mas. Eu queria aprender, a explorar esse mundo novo e surpreendente onde a reali-dade e a abstração se mistur-am.

Refinando minha arte, tor-nou-se natural usar as minhas mãos e tubos de tinta ao invés de pincéis. Adicionei textu-ra e diversas técnicas mistas para trazer cores e movi-mentos para o meu trabalho artístico".

“Meu trabalho é uma declaração de amor”. O amor à arte, o amor pela vida, o amor por todas as coisas. Eu uso minha arte como um meio de expressar a amplitude das minhas emoções... eu consigo colocar todas minhas emoções

Eu sempre mostrei uma paix-ão pela arte desde jovem e hoje minha arte é um reflexo de um mundo dos meus olhos, pelas lentes de Soco Freire. Este é um mundo cheio de cores. É um mundo cheio de positivi-dade e alegria e é isso que eu quero que as pessoas sintam quando veem meu tra-balho artístico. Isso é o que amo fazer, com cores trazer vida as minhas telas..."

A ênfase de Soco Freire na cor atinge um amplo sentido de emotividade e um dinamismo surpreendente concomitante com os performativos aspec-tos de seu trabalho criativo.

Soco apresenta seus trabalhos em exposições, Galerias e Live Paintings onde ela cria, de-senha e pinta tela ao vivo du-rante o evento. Dia após dia, testando e experimentando novas técnicas e aprendendo

com outros artistas, nós po-demos esperar muito por vim desta artista.

Seu trabalho já conquistou amantes das artes em Islân-dia, Ilhas Cayman, Franca, Alemanha, Chile, Estados Uni-dos e Brasil.

Minhas inspirações vêm todas através de experiências da vida, em momentos, no cotidiano, em imagens interessantes, em tudo que me traz vibrações positivas.

E’ isso que proponho quando você visita minha exposição, um convite ao publico para uma viajem de cores, sentimentos, e movimentos!

Qual a sensação de ser premiada este ano como melhor Artista Visual USA pelo Brazilian International Press Awards?

Para todo artista ou profissional o reco-nhecimento e muito gratificante. Esse re-conhecimento muitas vezes chega de ma-neiras diferentes.Nesse caso, eu fico muito orgulhosa e honrada em receber esse pre-mio. O Brazilian International PRESS AWARDS se tor-nou o maior evento Brasileiro fora do Bra-sil, reconhecendo o trabalho e a trajetória de grandes artistas do nosso amado pais como Antonio Fagundes, Suzana Viera, Xuxa, Bibi Ferreira, Ivete Sangalo, Rome-ro Britto entre tantos outros.

Alem disso continua abrindo portas para novos talentos. Chegar a essa premiação sabendo a importância e’ certamente uma grande conquista, pois isto e’ um refle-xo da dedicação e do amor pelo que faço. Esse evento foi criado pelo jornalista Car-los Borges juntamente com a Rede Globo Internacional uma parceria que comemo-ra 17 anos e que fico muito feliz de fazer parte.

Como o publico norte americano tem recebido tuas obras?Felizmente meu trabalho teve uma exce-lente aceitação pelo publico. Não vou ne-gar que o fato de sermos Brasileiros ajuda também. Nos somos sinônimos de alegria, boa musica e belas artes. Com essa propos-ta eu apresentei meu trabalho que conti-nua ganhando espaço aqui e fora.

Fiz ótimas parcerias, com Baterby’s Gal-lery em Orlando, Casa Cultura Interiors em Miami e junto a Cidade de Orlando que têm em seu acervo uma de minhas obras. Meu trabalho consiste em cores fortes, ale-gria, movimento e muita energia.

Quais seus planos para o futuro?

Sempre falo que para se chegar ao futu-ro você precisa semear o presente. Tenho grandes planos para o futuro, mas sei que tudo depende do que faço hoje. Desejo con-tinuar a desenvolver minha arte e abrir novos caminhos para que seja cada vez mais reconhecida. Estou no momento foca-da em uma serie de obras novas que explo-ra o ser humano em suas feições, emoções e sentimentos. Fascina-me em particular o olhar das pessoas que são as portas de suas almas. Alem disso para o futuro dese-jo continuar a participar cada vez mais de projetos sociais.

Você pretende expor suas obras no Brasil algum dia? A partir de Julho estarei participando do Projeto Cultural da Escola Municipal Amador Bueno, onde levara arte e cultura para as escolas publicas a toda região de São Paulo, muitas crianças não têm tanto acesso as artes em museus, exposições, te-atro, cinema etc. Muito gratificante fazer parte desse projeto social e promover meu trabalho no meu pais. Já tenho bastan-te trabalhos meus no Brasil, imagino que logo estarei fazendo uma exposição.

Soco Freire began her career as an artist in 1996. Born in the city of João Pessoa, in Bra-zil she currently lives in Flori-da, USA .Soco as a child loved to draw, always very curious, Soco learned very early to ex-perience the world of color .

“I began to experience art at an early age, sitting beside my father Pedro Martins, graphic designer. The love of my fa-ther for the art inspired me, filling my imagination with colors and shapes. I wanted to learn, exploring this ama-zing new world where reality and abstraction mingled. Re-fining my art, it became natu-ral to use my hands andtubes of paint instead of brushes . Added texture and various mixed techniques to bring co-lor and movement to my ar-twork . “

“ My work is a declaration of love .” The love of art, love of life, love for all things. I use

my art as a means of expres-sing a range of my emotions ... I can put all of them on the screen .

I always showed a passion for art since young and now my art is a reflection of a world from my eyes, through the lens of Soco Freire . This is a world full of colors. It is a world full of positivity and joy and it is.I want people to feel when they see my artwork . that is what I love to do, co-lors bring life to my paintin-gs...“

Soco Freire ‘s emphasis on color reaches a broad sense of emotionality, concomitant with a surprising dynamism with performative aspects of her creative work .

Soco presents her works in exhibitions, galleries and Live Paintings where she creates, draws and paints live screens during the event. Day after day, testing and experimen-ting with new techniques and learning from other artists, we can expect much for co-ming this artist.

Her work has won art lovers in Iceland , Cayman Islands, France, Germany, Chile, Uni-ted States and Brazil .

the experiences of life, at ti-mes, in daily and interesting images in all that it brings me good vibes, as an artist, I ‘m always learning new ideas and mixing in with my art.

2 - How does it feel for you to be Awarded this year ‘s Best Visual Arts- USA by Brazilian International Press Awards?- For every artist or professio-nal recognition, is very rewar-ding .

ries of new works that explore the human being in his features, emotions and feelings . It fasci-nates me in particular the people look in their eyes, which are por-tals of Their souls . In addition to the future I desire to continue to play a roll in social projects .

5 - Do you want to exhibit your-works in Brazil someday ?

From July I will be Participat-ing in the Municipal Cultural School ProjectAmador Bueno,

I already have enoughof my work in Bra-zil , I imagine that soon I will be having an exposition.

NazaréO Planeta só precisa de olhos que sintam com o coração

NazaréO Planeta só precisa de olhos que sintam com o coração

Como se deu inicio da fotogra-fia na sua vida?Foi na minha adolescência que comecei a interessar-me pela fotografia, primeiro para registar alguns "momentos" da minha vida e depois como necessidade de expressar a minha visão do mundo e ex-primir alguns sentimentos.

Com é lidar com a emoção da situação, com a técnica da fo-tografia?A emoção da situação é o pon-to central e é a minha priori-dade no momento da captação da imagem. A técnica como o domínio da luz o enquadra-mento e outras opções técnicas são fundamentais mas devem ser inatas, não devem interfer-

ir com o "feeling" da captação do momento. A técnica está ao serviço da emoção.

Suas fotos tem sido reconheci-das no mundo todo em que con-texto?A versatilidade é uma carac-terística do meu trabalho. No en-tanto nos últimos tempos o tema “Nazaré e o surf das grandes on-das” têm-me dado alguma visi-bilidade depois da publicação na mídia” e em websites, como o “Billabong” “ The Inertia” “The Rider Post” e o “The Daily Mir-row” entre outros. No entanto o reconhecimento é apenas uma consequência agradável do meu trabalho.

Quais os momentos que lhe deram mais satisfação em documentar?Todos os momentos podem ser emocionantes. As vezes um sim-ples motivo natural é o que me dá mais prazer em fotografar. Mas reconheço que a captação de um surfista a dominar uma onda de 30 metros foi mito emocionante.

Quais exactamente dos elemen-tos água, ar, fogo, terra, mundo animal e humano...Todos estes elementos me moti-vam, porque todos podem ter um motivo belo e oculto a explorar. Neste momento aquele que mais fotografo é a água. Mas digamos que um belo cenário pode ser uma uma praia, com um por do sol sobe o oceano com alguns ele-mentos animais é o reunir de to-dos estes elementos.

The Planet needs Eyes that feel For The Heart! Suzana JardimHow was the beginning of photo-graphy in your life?It was in my teens I started to become interested in photo-graphy, first to register a few " moments " of my life and then as the need to express my vi-sion of the world and express some feelings .

How is to deal with the emotion of the moment, and with the tech-nique of photography at the same time?The emotion of the situation is the focal point and is my prio-rity at the moment of captu-ring the image. Technique, the mastery of light framing and other technical options are critical but should be innate, should not interfere with the " feeling" capture the moment. The technique is at the service of emotion.

In what context your photos have been recognized worldwide ?Versatility is a characteristic of my work. However in re-cent times the theme " Nazaré and surf the big waves " have given me some visibility after the publication in the media

" and websites such as " Billa-bong " " The Inertia " " The Post Rider " and " The Daily Mirrow" among others. Yet recognition is just a nice re-sult of my work.

What are the moments that gave you the most satisfaction in docu-menting ?Every moment can be exciting. Sometimes a simple natural reason is what gives me more pleasure in photographing. But I recognize that the cap-ture of a surfer to dominate a wave of 30 meters is an exci-ting myth.

What exactly are the elements water, air , fire, earth , animal and human world ...All these elements motiva-te me, because everyone can have a beautiful and explo-re the hidden motive. At this point one more photograph is water. But say a beautiful set-ting can be an a beach with a sunset ocean rises with some animal elements is the gathe-ring of all these elements .

Sons Cores e SaboresSons, cores e sabores é o título dos eventos que reune a música, a arte e culinária.A coleção que foi inspirada na África foi a abertura desse primeiro evento no Espaço Cultural Casa África, em Belo Horizonte MG-Brazil.

Esse primeiro evento aconteceu em no-vembro celebrando o mês da consciên-cia negra no Brasil e reafirma as raízes africanas no Brasil. O som foi represen-tado pelo show da cantora Nary Farias que com sua voz rouca e ao mesmo tem-po suave alcança timbres únicos numa interpretação marcante.

Acompanhada dos musicistas Vaninho Vieira e Fabrício Alves, em seu show in-titulado “estação 120” , Nary homena-geia grandes compositores negros que por vez, em sua maioria mineiros. Nary usou peças que foram feitas exclusivas para ela e fez várias trocas durante o show, peças com muitas cores vindas da Mãe Terra.

Nessa coleção foi feito o uso de elemen-tos africanos e cores vibrantes, tudo se-guindo a temática do trabalho manual feito por eu e minha equipe.

Todas as peças foram confeccionadas no tecido americano cru ( algodão cru), usando muitas formas geométricas

para harmonizar com as pinturas cor-porais dos guerreiros das tribos africa-nas e também nos artesanatos de tribos antigas, mesclando grafismo em preto e branco à cores ter-rosas como marrom, ocre e laranja, transfe-rindo para peças com toque de brasilidade.

O local escolhido para receber a primeira exposição também trás consigo as raízes africanas, e é um dos principais pontos re-presentantes da cultu-ra africana em Minas Gerais.

E dando continuida-des a este evento dia 8 de março de 2014 aconteceu em Ipatin-ga no espaço cultural Tornearia o segundo “Sons cores e sabores “.

A atração musical fi-cou por conta da dupla Ana Maria Campolina e Marcos Araújo, que desenvolve o proje-to cantoras do Brasil, destacando as grandes vozes femininas brasileiras do passado e do presente.

The Story

In 1999, WaterCar started as a person-al challenge to build the world’s fastest amphibious vehicle. Our early Water-Cars were purpose-built vehicles, to be very fast on both land and water.

After January, 2010, when Watercar established the Guinness amphibious speed record with the Python model, their attention turned to reliability and they began designing a vehicle to offer to the public.

Fourteen years, countless successes and failures, 27 patents and untold la-bor hours later, all personal challenges have been achieved.

The Panther, the first WaterCar to be offered to the public, was created by the Watercar team which is made up of top designers and technicians from Fountain Valley Bodyworks, one of the largest, most state-of-the-art collision repair shops in the nation.

Throughout the Panther’s develop-ment, the commitment was to engi-neer a versatile amphibious vehicle built with proven off-the-shelf compo-

nents that are recognizable throughout the automotive and marine industry. The Watercar team has achieved that goal.

During the development years, theyw-ere continuously approached by peo-ple around the world who wished to purchase a WaterCar. While theywere flattered by the apparent market accep-tance, it was not felt that they attained a level of reliability and maintainabili-ty consistent with their personal stan-dards and those of many prospective buyers. It was difficult to say no for all those years, but the team was adamant that they would not sell a product that they would not purchase themselves.

In 2013, the team realized the Panther achieved the quality, reliability, and maintainability that allowed them to offer the Panther for purchase.

Each Panther is a custom vehicle built by a incredible team of professionals who take great pride in what they build and how it ultimately performs. Each one is unique. Co. Site: http://water-car.fountainvalleybodyworks.com/

News in the Auto front !Ademar Rodrigues

Campari presents the new Art Labels limited edition, a modern reinterpretation of a number of works by Fortu-nato Depero, one of the most representative artists of the Futurist movement who had a long association with Cam-pari.

Three collectible labels are the protagonists of the Cam-pari limited edition and summarize three moments strongly related to the opti-mal consumption of the prod-uct: the preparation of a per-fect cocktail, the pleasure of enjoying a Campari and its tasting.

The first label was inspired by a black and white ink sketch made on paper in 1928. It was a graphic study made for Campari, closely recall-ing aperitif time, revisited and re-colored, presented on a green background with the color red in strong evidence.

The second label on a yellow background depicts a collage dating back to 1927. The image takes up a sketch, the origi-nal of which is kept in the ar-chive of the Galleria Campa-ri collection, created by the artist with colored pencils. It represents the pleasure and passion of enjoying a Cam-pari: the most evident detail of the portrayed character is his heart, which is colored as the liquid in the glass.

The third Art Label, which completes the collection, on a purple background, the only one already created in color, is a 1928 illustration created by Depero with the collage technique. The work depicts the iconic little man of Dep-ero during the tasting of a Campari. The combination of colors has a particular impact and is also emphasized by the red liquid of the product.

Andrea Conzonato, Chief Marketing Officer, Gruppo Campari, commented: “The new Art Labels want to be a tribute to a great artist, For-tunato Depero, who worked extensively with Campari and produced truly unique works of art, connected with the brand by an unbreakable bond. Much of the artist’s pro-duction is kept at the Galleria Campari collection and is a piece of art history and of the company’s communications. The aim is to pay homage to the brand’s tradition and cel-ebrate it in a new and original way by reinterpreting an art movement that still today is contemporary and very mod-ern. Thus, Campari wants to present its consumers with a special collection that is a testimony to the strong inno-vative nature of the brand”.

The Campari Art Labels will initially be available in Italy from May 2014 and in the rest of the world thereafter.

What's good Orlando? Things are really going good for South Coast re-cords. We just rele-ased three albums on three of our ar-tist, we have vide-os being released all this month and we are very plea-sed to announce that we just signed a contract for label management and distribution with Sony Red.

What does this mean for SCR, well it means that are taking the next step as a label. Every-thing starts as an idea, then once the mission starts, we evolve slowly but surely.

As CEO of South Co-ast Records, I'm so proud of our team and I'm equally ex-cited about our fu-ture. The point to

this month's arti-cle is that whate-ver you want in life not matter how big or small, it can be achieved. No one in this world will do it for you. You have to believe in your vision and work extra hard to stay on coarse.

Just 5 years ago we were trying to find our way in the local market and now it looks like we will moving our artist be outside of the Orlando market to tour and gain ex-perience outside of our city.

We would like to thank you all for your support be-cause without you, we would not be heard. Please take time to download all of the new music that we have to offer and

as always thank you for reading my article. Real Talk, Real Music, Sou-th Coast Records. (SCR).

Ola amigos, hoje quero es-crever sobre uma mulher que nascida de uma união ilegitima, consegue se im-por e alcançar um dos mais altos postos da Argentina -

Evita Peron - conhecida como "A Idolatrada Mãe dos Pobres"

Nasceu Maria Eva em 7 de maio de 1919 - filha de Don Juan e Juana Ibarguren, sempre desprezada por to-dos por ser filha ilegitima, ela então decidiu que só se casaria com um príncipe ou um presidente, desde criança sempre falava isso, quando ainda vivia em Los Toldos, sua cidade natal, nos pampas. Ela sempre al-mejou um futuro radiante, pois se inspirava nas nove-las, revistas de cinema e via nos filmes de Hollywood.

O pai, Don Juan Duarte, proprietário de terras, ha-via literalmente comprado sua mãe a bela Juana, em troca de um jumento e uma carroça, da união nasce-ram quatro meninas e um menino. Evita era a cacula e mal conheceu o pai pois ele regressou ao lar, onde o esperava esposa e filhos legítimos.

A mãe criou os filhos sozi-nha, e quando Evita com-pletou 11 anos, a família mudou-se para Junin, uma vila na mesma província de Buenos Aires. Porem ela continuava sofrendo o mes-mo preconceito, os colegas

não tinham permissão de a cortejar em razão da ori-gem, suas irmas entretanto conseguiram trabalhar e se casaram bem....Evita decidiu então tentar a vida no mundo do espe-táculo, devido as humilha-ções que sempre sofreu, ti-nha um caráter genioso e temperamento indomável.

Aos 15 anos decidiu partir sozinha para Buenos Aires.Ela, morena e pálida batia incansavelmente as portas dos teatros, sem talento ar-tístico e nem extraordiná-ria beleza não conseguia realizar seu sonho. Mas de temperamento obstinado sempre respondia as irmas e a mãe quando pediam que voltasse para casa, dizendo "Primeiro a Celebridade".

E em 1939 aos 20 anos con-seguiu se impor como atriz radiofônica, interpretan-do heroínas chorosas que lembravam em muito a sua própria vida.

Evita conheceu então um membro do GOU, o Coronel Anibal Imbert de quem logo tornou-se amante. Uma se-rie de folhetins de caráter históricos foi sua recom-pensa, ela interpretava Catarina da Rússia ou Eli-sabete da Inglaterra, como que inconscientemente, se preparasse para tornar-se Rainha.

Em janeiro de 1944, um tremor de terra arrasou a cidade de San Juan. Na

qualidade de secretario do Ministério do Trabalho o então Coronel Peron, cen-tralizou a ajuda as vitimas, e as pessoas ligadas ao mundo das artes organiza-ram um grande espetáculo beneficente em prol dos de-sabrigados. Nessa manha Peron percorreu a Rua Flo-rida, cercado por atrizes que agitavam os cofrinhos e pediam "Um trocado para os órfãos de San Juan, por favor" Evita no frescor dos seus 24 anos estava entre elas, ainda de cabelos escu-ros e pálida, porem tao ar-dente no seu pregão que o Coronel de 48 anos a notou.

O encontro decisivo, porem, aconteceu a noite na festa. Enquanto grandes vedetes da musica se sucediam no palco, Evita conseguiu se instalar ao lado de Peron. Alguns instantes mais tar-de o coronel só tinha olhos para ela.

Juan Domingos Peron, como ela, era também fi-lho ilegitimo. Tornou-se um adulto esperto, ma-quiavélico e envolvente. Como grande sedutor que era, refletia o desejo dos outros fazendo com que se sentissem únicos, viúvo, in-capaz de amar, entretanto encantou-se pela pequena atriz que o escutava aten-tamente, e que encontrava naquele discurso a explica-ção para sua própria vida. O inimigo em comum era a oligarquia, Evita ouvia as palavras de Peron

Falando de Mulheres

e assumiu as suas ideias com um fa-natismo que parecia de amor....

Do fascismo ela pouco sabia, mas sim que Peron era contra os pro-prietários de terra, que a exemplo de Juan Duarte, compravam mu-lheres e as abandonavam com seus filhos ilegítimos. Era o bastante. Rapidamente, sua relação tornou--se publica. Peron adorava chocar e desafiar os "bem pensantes". Di-vertia-se ao apresentar, da maneira mais oficial, sua amante.

Quando os colegas de armas diziam que ele era malvisto por ter uma re-lação com uma atriz, respondia..." O que vocês queriam? Que eu tivesse uma relação com um ator? Minis-tro da Guerra, depois vice-presi-dente da Argentina, ele conservava esse posto aparentemente obscu-ro. Quando o exercito se valeu de

um pretexto fútil para encerrar Peron na ilha de Martin Garcia, o povo agradecido em 17 de outubro de 1945, saiu maciçamente as ruas para exigir a libertação do seu lí-der. Quatro dias mais tarde, Peron se casou com Evita, e em 4 de junho de 1946, promovido a general, ele as-sumiu a Presidência da Republica, eleito por uma esmagadora maioria de votos. Desde seu encontro com Peron, Evita se interessou cada vez mais pela politica e revelou uma intuição que espantou o ge-neral.

Sem ter ainda abandonado de vez a carreira de atriz, decidiu assu-mir o papel de uma benfeitora adorada pelo povo, em um filme intitulado La Prodiga, que nunca foi exibido publicamente.E

vita P

eron

Por Elita Freitas

Evita Peron

Sua personagem era chamada "A senhora" ou "A Mãe dos Necessitados". Em pouco tempo, assim seria na realidade. Coinci-dência e premonição, vontade e destino, sempre se cruzaram na estoria de Evita.

Era imperativo que ela deixasse o mun-do do espetáculo. Mas sendo o peronismo uma representação, tudo a levava a fazer sua estreia no mundo do espetáculo da politica: ambição e poder - nascida de sua necessidade de vingança, a primeira das simulações foi descolorir o cabelo, Evita tinha se tornado loira. Um loiro de mulher que ascendeu, que a fazia escapar da mal-dição de Los Toldos, da avo em seu ran-cho de miséria: na Argentina da época, o loiro se confundia com status. Morena, ela havia sido insignificante, Loira, tornava--se uma criatura luminosa, irreal, na qual a propaganda peronista iria se apoiar e a quem faria representar o papel de santa ou fada. Outra simulação era sua identi-dade civil.

Ao mesmo tempo que era capaz de sacri-ficar sua vida, era também sedenta de poder Desde 1946, Evita tinha criado sua própria equipe, constituída por ministros fieis, Fundou o Partido Peronista Femini-no, que dominava com a mesma mão-de--ferro com que controlava e amordaçava a imprensa e o mundo do espetáculo. E as mulheres a quem Evita dera o direito do voto em 1947, eram justamente o setor do peronismo mais ativo em suas mãos, que ela fanatizava e vigiava com ardor.

Um feminismo que Peron não havia pre-visto, dai o fato de enciumar-se cada vez mais da esposa, que brilhava com sua luz própria, ate que uma multidão de um mi-lhão de pessoas reunidas para proclamar a nova chamada, pediam "Peron-Presi-dente" Evita, Vice-Presidente", ela embo-ra não admitisse almejava esse posto com ardor, pois apesar do seu imenso poder, dependia inteiramente do de Peron.Evita não sabia se Peron queria que ela se tornasse vice-presidente. Ela espera-va, o povo insistia para que ela aceitasse,

ela balbuciava uma negativa que o povo ficava mais exaltado. Porem diante desse dialogo entre o povo e a sua mulher, do qual Peron se sentiu excluído, ele agarrou o braco de Evita e lhe disse "basta". Ela já estava gravemente enferma, e dias mais tarde, foi ao radio para dizer que "seu co-ração de humilde mulher argentina, a im-pedia de aceitar tao honrosa oferta".

Ainda tentaram esconder do povo a doen-ça de sua fada. Apos uma operação de úte-ro realizada tarde demais, Evita foi ins-talada em um pequeno quarto, longe do de Peron. Ela agonizava e extremamente debilitada, pesando quase 30 quilos e viti-ma de dores atrozes, ainda encontrou for-cas para negociar do seu leito de morte, a compra de metralhadores destinadas a armar o povo. Armas que Peron não quis distribuir entre os trabalhadores quando eclodiu a Revolucion Libertadora que o derrubou em 1955.

Evita morreu em 26 de julho de 1952 aos 33 anos, durante 15 dias o povo em lagri-mas, desfilou diante de seu caixão cober-to de cristal. Para alguns uma santa, para outros, uma populista demagoga que asfi-xiou o Pais.

Evita porem continua indestrutível na memoria coletiva. Em parte por conta do mito que ela cuidadosamente criou, por outro lado, por causa de seu próprio cor-po, que, depois de inúmeros percalços, finalmente repousa em Buenos Aires, no Cemitério da Ricoleta.Eva Peron sempre lutou pelos pobres, e pela igualdade da mulher, sendo por isso amada e admirada por muitas mulheres.

Frases de Evita "De nada valdría un movimiento femenino en un mundo sin justicia social"

"Vosotras mismas, espontáneamente, con esa cálida ternura que distingue a las ca-maradas de una misma lucha, me habéis dado un nombre de lucha: Evita (...)"

Web-based documentary series spotlights the importance of English communication in international business

The TOEIC Program recently launched Why English Matters, a new content-based website that seeks to build awareness and share informa-tion about the important role that English-language proficiency plays in the global economy.

Why English Matters features a new video documentary series that ex-plores the role of English through in-terviews with human resource manag-ers and decision makers from leading global organizations. The site also features related research and news articles about the impact of effective English communication skills for the international workforce.

“Since English is the official language of more than 70 countries, it is crucial for businesses that operate in a global economy to maintain a labor pool that is composed of competent English language communicators,” said David Hunt, Vice President and Chief Oper-ating Officer of ETS’s Global Division. “Through the Why English Matters site, we can provide these important stakeholders with the most relevant, up-to-date information and resources for developing and maintaining a ca-

pable English speaking workforce.”

The website was designed to engage all types of individuals, groups and organizations looking to leverage the power of English in the global econ-omy, including companies, business leaders, human resources managers, news organizations and academic in-stitutions.

“The website’s use-friendly platform was designed to make it easy for vis-itors to share the knowledge and ma-terials that it holds,” said Shelly Pun-chatz, ETS’s Executive Director of Marketing. “Visitors to the site can share information through social me-dia platforms in order to cultivate conversations around the importance of English language learning.”

Content on the site will be updated regularly in order to further the dis-cussion of how English-language pro-ficiency is vital for growth in work-places all over the world.

"It" Girl Jourdan Dunn is the New Face for Maybelline New York

Maybelline New York announced today that London bred beauty Jourdan Dunn is their new-

est spokesmodel. Jourdan will be joining an elite group of Maybelline models which includes Christy Turlington, Em-ily DiDonato and a host of others.

"Jourdan's look, style and positive energy are perfect for the Maybelline New York brand," said Jerome Bruhat, Global Brand President of Maybelline New York. "She truly reflects May-belline's vision of global beauty."

Jourdan was first discovered by a model scout while out with friends. She was signed soon after and made her runway debut during the 2007 Fall New York Fashion Week. As a featured model in British Vogue, labeled as a "new star" and named "Top 10 Newcomer" by style.com later that same year, Jourdan was on the road to success very early in her career.

"It is an honor to be a spokesperson for such an iconic brand," said Jourdan. "I am proud to say that I am a Maybelline girl and hopefully I can make people feel the same way I did when I saw the advertisements growing up. The brand imag-ery is always beautiful and positive. To now be a part of that is a dream come true!"

Jourdan has since lit up the runways for Prada, Christian Dior, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Oscar de la Renta, Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Burberry, Lan-

vin, Hermes, Givenchy, Valentino, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Balmain to name a few. She has appeared in the American, British, Paris, Italian, Japanese and Russian editions of Vogue. She has graced the pages of notable fashion magazines W, Numero, Allure, i-D, V, POP, and Dazed & Confused. She has been a part of various cam-paigns for ck Calvin Klein, CK1 fragrance, Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry, Burberry Beauty, Gap, DKNY, H&M, Express, Aldo, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Rag & Bone, Topshop, John Galliano and Benetton among others.

When she is not modeling, Jourdan is a proud mother to her son Riley who was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. This has led to Jourdan's ac-tive involvement as the Parent Ambassador for the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America. In addition to being a mother and philanthropist, Jourdan is a self-taught cook. She hosts a lifestyle and cooking program titled "Well Dunn with Jourdan Dunn." The show is available through Jay Z's YouTube channel, Life+Times, and fea-tures a different celebrity guest each episode.

Jourdan will make her Maybelline New York de-but in print and television advertising campaigns in April 2014.
