Nossa MissãoA missão da Central Florida Brazilian American Chamber of Commerce

é facilitar o relacionamento e parcerias comerciais, para criar ou incrementar o comércio e investimentos entre seus membros.

Próxima parada: Rio

Londres mostrou o caminho para se fazer uma festa. Mas aguardematé o Brasil mostrar como é que faz o maior evento do planeta.

Durante os últimos dois anos, trabalhando na Inglaterra para a TV Record, a emissora oficial para a transmissão dos Jogos Olímpicos deste ano para o Brasil, o assunto Londres 2012 foitema quase diário. E, como todo mundo, eu também entrei em pânico com a possibilidadede não ser capaz de chegar ao trabalho devido ao caos dos transportes públicos e fiquei frustrado com as tentativas de comprar ingressos para o evento e acabar não conseguindo.

Mas, então, a maratona de jogos começou. E de repente tudo mudou.O humor nacional pareceu mudar da noite para o dia, e para melhor.O sistema de transporte público não falhou, nem se tornou impossível de fazer

na cidade tudo o que faríamos em um dianormal.

Como brasileiro, vivendo em Londres há quase uma década, eu vi a atitude da população local em relação ao Brasil mu-dar dramaticamente ao longo dos últimos anos.O país mais conhecido por ser um exótico destino de férias, pelo samba e futebol,transformou-se em um sério centro de negócios com uma economia que fica mais forte a cada dia. E com os prepara-tivos para oRio 2016 já a caminho, nas últimas semanas eu realmente senti como se a capital inglesa já estivesse, de alguma forma, um pouco “verde e amarela” - a ex-pressão que usamos fazendo referência às cores da bandeira nacional para descrever o famoso estilo esportivo brasileiro. Para nós é a jornada - com toda a diversão ealtos e baixos do caminho – o que real-mente importa no final.As ruas de Londres, de repente, tornaram-se muito mais coloridas.

As pessoas arriscaram sorrir para estran-hos. E todos estavam tão ocupados curtin-do cada etapa dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2012, que não sobrou tempo para se preo-cupar com os riscos, tumultos, ataques terroristas e todas aquelas ameaças que podem comprometer um grande evento como este. (Eu tenho certeza de uma equi-pe especial foi cautelosamente selecionada e estava a postos para cuidar dasegurança, mas eu estou contente que a mídia não recorreu ao sensacionalismo barato e fez deste tema a pauta do dia).

Marcio DelgadoFoi uma longa espera para os Jogos de Londres começarem. Anos. Meses.E então, quando finalmente foi dada a largada para as Olimpíadas, tudo chegou ao fim rapidamente, como uma refeição muito boa e sofisticada em um restauran-te caro.E, desde o início, com uma cerimônia cin-ematográfica para a abertura que custou milhões de libras, o mundo percebeu que Londres colocaria o nível do evento em um patamar bem alto.

O Brasil certamente terá que trabal-har duro para oferecer um cardápio do mesmo quilate, investindo no sistema de transporte, segurança e estrutura geral para sediar as próximas Olimpíadas.

No entanto, a boa notícia é que, com o passar do tempo, a percepção do público em relação a cada nação anfitriã do even-to melhora. Ou seja: com mais tecnologia, melhor acesso para que as pessoas parti-cipem e uma cobertura mais ampla, cada cidade tem a oportunidade de superar a anterior porque tudo evolui. E a expecta-tiva aumenta com isso. Agora o mundointeiro vai ficar de olho no Rio de Janeiro e esperar que o evento que acontece pela primeira vez em uma cidade da América Latina seja acolhedor, criativo e inesquecível. Uma pressão das grandes!

Como um país democrático, o Brasil não tem uma rainha para “saltar” de um helicóptero no meio de um estádio na cerimônia de abertura:

Inglaterra 1x Brasil 0. E também, infelizmente, não temos um James Bond: Inglaterra 2 x Brasil 0.No entanto, se uma atitude positiva pe-rante a vida e um talento natural para festas incríveis é algo a ser levado em conta, tenho certeza que os próximos Jogos Olímpicos irão ser o que as pessoas realmente irão recordar por muitos anos. Placar esperado para o Brasil: nota 10!

Next stop Rio, and the biggest party everLondon's been terrific – but just wait until 2016. Marcio Delgado

The next one is always the best one.... For the past couple of years, work-ing in England for Record TV, the official Brazilian network in charge of broadcasting this year's Olympic Games to Brazil, I've heard about London 2012 almost on a daily ba-sis. And, like everyone else, I also panicked at the thought of not being able to get to work due to public-transport chaos, and I became frus-trated trying to get tickets to the Games and not being able to.But then, the event started. And everything suddenly changed. The national mood seemed to switch overnight, for the better. The pub-lic transport system didn't crash, nor did the city become impossible to manage – actually, I think, it got even calmer, with lots of people choosing not to travel or decid-ing to stay away from busy centres. Contrary to what I expected, and surprisingly, I didn't have to amend

my routine or leave earlier on my one-hour commute to our studios in Finsbury Park, in the north of the capital.As a Brazilian, living in London for almost a decade, I have seen lo-cal people's attitude towards my country change dramatically over the past years. The tropical holiday destination best known for samba and football has turned into a seri-ous business hub with an economy that gets stronger by the day. And with preparations for Rio 2016 un-der way, for the past weeks I have genuinely felt as if the capital was already somehow "green and yellow" – an expression that makes reference to the main colours of our flag and which is used to describe the happy and sportsmanlike Brazilian style. For us, it is the journey - with all the fun on the way - that really matters.

London streets suddenly became much more colourful. People smiled at strangers for a change. And every-one was so busy enjoying every step of the Olympic Games 2012 that no one spent valuable time worrying about risks, riots, terrorist attacks and all those threats that can com-promise a massive event such as the one just about to finish. (I am sure a special team was carefully looking after the security, and I am glad the media didn't get hooked on scaring the population).

It seemed a long wait. Years. Months. And then, when the Olympics finally arrived here, they quickly came to an end, just like a very good, well-crafted meal in an expensive restau-rant. And, right from the start, with its multi-million-pound cinematic opening ceremony, the world got to know that London would set the bar very high indeed.

Brazil will certainly have to work hard to meet such a feast, looking carefully into the transport system, security and overall structure to host the next Olympics.However, the good thing is, as time goes by, every host nation's

interpretation of the event seems to get bigger and better than the one before, with more technology in place, better access for the masses, a wider coverage.... The whole world will be expecting from Rio a new, warm, and an unforgettable spec-tacle.

As a democratic country, Brazil doesn't have a queen to "jump" out of a helicopter into a stadium in the opening ceremony: England 1 - Bra-zil 0. We don't have even a James Bond: England 2 - Brazil 0. However, if a positive attitude towards life and a natural talent to throw amaz-ing parties is anything to go by, I am sure the next Olympics will be the one to remember. Expected score for Brazil: 10 out of 10!Marcio Delgado is a London-based Brazilian journalisttwitter.com/@marcio_delgado

This is my official goodbye to a year that started off with tremendous heartbreak and broken promises and turned into a year of discovery. Finding my inner-artist again, making new friends and letting go of those that don’t deserve my love, growing both professionally and personally, letting my two angels grow their wings too, moving on and moving out, finally getting into grad school, and most importantly - falling in love with “me” again. Here’s to what only can be an amazing year ahead. To 2012, The Year of Living. ♥ If anyone could predict what was about to happen she did, and she was right, Jessilyn is a success, a fresh moment that you can’t forget, and this is just the beginning. Jessilyn’s Art is a manifestation of many things, feelings of sadness, anger, love, a variety of inspirations that always come from one place, the heart. Do not ever doubt what a positive energy can do with your life, the light gets so big that you start illuminat-ing others.

The most surprising conversation ever. My first question to her was, "How long have you painted?" She smiled and said since December, just like that. I was very surprised, and even more curious to know how did she get here so fast.She explained that for her was a short process, after a big emotional shift in her life, she decided to visit her grand-mother, an artist that never had all the opportunities of showing her work to the world, but according to Jessilyn a great artist, and on that day she told her," if I would give my talent to any of my grandchildren, it would be to you." Jessilyn started trying, after finishing her first painting she placed it on Facebook and sold it! Imagine that! From there, someone that had painted a little before, started the journey of her life. She is moved by it, people show her affection because her paintings inspire them, bring memories of happy moments, and all this positive energy is bringing her to dedicate herself more and more to her art.

She went to Mexico and studied painting with a world renowned Rus-sian artist named Leonid Afremov, she said, " He did not speak English, I didn't speak Russian but I could read his body language and learned his pal-ette knife method that way. Now, today

after a few months and communicat-ing with him through his son he finally said she has potential, "and that meant the world to me." Jessilyn has a full heart, she is ready to take the world with colors, she needs to make people happy, that is important. Art turned out so important to her, that she thinks about the day she will be able to dedi-cate herself 100% to it.

A few months ago her painting won a national contest for a wine label. They liked her work so much they picked an extra painting and now two labels will be designed with her art in it. Her work was also shown in NY at Time Square and she was thrilled, be-cause it was another milestone accomplished in such little time.

Her life changed, she changed, and her work is changing people. During our photo shoot people stopped and asked, did you paint this? and she smiled and replied, "Yes I did", and they just hugged her. She made a comment that this type of reaction was become more and more common, and that makes all the difference.Jessilyn opened her heart at the end of 2011 and wrote on her profile”

Jessilyn ParkA conversa mais surpreendente !. Minha primeira pergunta foi: "Há quanto tempo você pinta?" Ela sorriu e disse desde dezembro, simples assim. Fiquei muito sur-presa, e ainda o mais curioso foi descobrir como ela chegou ate aqui tão rápido.Ela explicou que para ela foi um processo curto, depois de uma grande mudança emocional em sua vida, ela decidiu visitar sua avó, um artista que nunca teve todas aoportunidade de mostrar o seu trabalho para o mundo, mas de acordo com Jessilyn uma grande artista, e naquele dia sua avó lhe disse: "se eu fosse entregar o meu talento para qualquer um dos meus netos, seria para você". Dali em diante,Jessilyn começou a tentar, logo depois de terminar sua primeira pintura ela colocou no Facebook e vendeu!

Imagine isso! Alguém que havia pintado ha pouco tempo, começa-va ali a jornada de sua vida. Jes-silyn é movida por sua arte, as pessoas mostram seu carinho para com ela, porque sua pintura os inspira, traz recordações de mo-mentos felizes, e toda essa energia positiva a incentiva a se dedicar mais e mais a sua arte.Ela foi para o México e estudou

pintura com um renomado artista russo chamado Leonid Afremov, ela disse, "Ele não falava Inglês, eu não falava russo, mas eu podia ler sua linguagem corporal e aprendi seu método faca de paleta dessa forma.

Hoje, depois de alguns meses, e me comunicando com ele através de seu filho, ele finalmente disse que tenho potencial ", e isso significou o muito para mim." Jessilyn tem um coração cheio, ela está pronta para tomar o mundo com cores, ela precisa fazer pes-soas felizes, isso é importante. A arte se tornou tão significante para ela, que ela pensa no dia em que ela será capaz de se dedicar 100% a ela.

Há alguns meses atrás a sua pin-tura ganhou um concurso nacional para ser colocada em um rótulo de vinho. Eles gostaram tanto de seu trabalho que escolheram uma pintura extra e agora dois rótulos serão projetado com a sua arte na mesma. Seu trabalho também foi mostrado em NY no Time Square e ela estava emocionada, porque foi mais um marco alcançado em pouco tempo.

Sua vida mudou, e seu trabalho é mudar as pessoas. Durante a nossa entrevista foto-grafica as pessoas paravam e perguntavam, você pintou esse

quadro? e ela sorria e respondia: "Sim, eu fiz", e eles a abraçavam, inesperadamente. Jessilyn comentou que este tipo de reação esta se tornando mais e mais comum, e isso faz toda a diferença.

Jessilyn abriu seu coração no final de 2011 e escreveu em seu perfil "O último dia de 2011. Este é o meu adeus oficial para um ano que começou com um tremendo disgosto, promessas quebradas e se transformou em um ano de descobertas. Encontrar a minha artista interior novamente, fazer novos amigos e deixar ir aqueles que não merecem o meu amor, crescendo profissionalmente e pessoalmente, deixando meus dois anjos crescerem suas asas, seguir em frente e, finalmente, entrar na faculdade, e o mais im-portante - Crer no amor por "eu" novamente. Um brinde ao que só pode ser um ano incrível pela frente. Por 2012, O Ano da Vida.

Se alguém pudesse prever o que es-tava para acontecer ela o fez, e ela estava certa, Jessilyn é um sucesso, um momento doce que você não pode esquecer, e isto é apenas o começo.A Arte de Jessilyn é uma mani-festação de muitas coisas, senti-mentos de tristeza, raiva, amor, de uma variedade de inspirações que

Clinical Literature - Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of coffee, but lacks of drinking the best coffee in the world, and of reading more.

Brazil is close to overtake the United States in domestic coffee consumption, it is already the largest producer and exporter in the world, just missing to drink higher quality coffee. It's been one of the perspectives of the interview with Edgard Bressani, CEO at O'Coffee, one of the boldest projects of specialty coffee in the world, headquartered in Boulder, São Paulo.

Intrigued by the relationship between the number of books read per capita per year in Brazil and kgs of coffee consumed per person (both revolve around the number 4, the book stagnated somewhat lower, for decades, and the amount in pounds of coffee per person, keeps growing), the Literary Clinic www.clinicaliteraria.com.br / news spoke with Edgard Bressani, an ambassador of Brazilian coffee around the world, and that can be considered an eponym of the Brazilian coffee industry of the XXI century .

Edgard Bressani is the author of Guide Barista - The origin of the Perfect Café Espresso (3rd Edition, Publisher Café), a tasty reading that is done in a weekend (208 pages), making many lattes.

Every page that you read will increase the urge to make a better coffee, increas-ing to the point that you'll never drink coffee the way you did before.

As coffee consumption is increasing in Brazil, according to Edgard Bressani, cof-fee quality has been improving gradually. One sign of this trend is the number of coffee shops opening every year (they are equivalent to the number of bookstores in the country, around 3000, these diminishing, and increasing the caf-eterias). In this scenario arises the figure of the Barista, a profession that is gaining prominence in the Brazilian labor market.

coffee & booksClínica Literária - O Brasil é maior produtor e exportador de café, falta beber o melhor café do mundo, e ler maisO Brasil está perto de ultrapassar os Estados Unidos no consumo interno de café, já é o maior produtor e exportador do mundo, só falta passar a beber café de melhor qualidade. Está foi uma das perspectivas da entrevista com Edgard Bressani, CEO da O´Coffee, um dos mais arrojados projetos no mundo de cafés es-peciais, com sede em Pedregulho, interior de São Paulo.

Intrigada com a relação entre número de livros lidos per capta ao ano no Bra-sil e os kgs de café consumidos por pes-soa (ambos giram em torno do número 4, o de livros estagnado um pouco mais abaixo, há décadas, a quantidade em kilos de café, por pessoa, acima e subindo), a Clínica Literária www.clinicaliteraria.com.br/news con-versou com Edgard Bressani, um em-baixador do café brasileiro ao redor do mundo, e que pode ser considerado um epônimo da indústria cafeeira brasileira do século XXI.

Edgard Bressani é autor de o Guia do Barista - Da origem do Café ao Espresso Perfeito (3a. Ed-ição, Café Editora), uma saborosa leitura que se faz num fim de semana (208 páginas), tomando muitos cafezinhos. A cada página que se lê, a vontade de fazer um café cada vez melhor vai au-mentando até o ponto em que você nunca mais vai tomar café do jeito que tomava antes.Assim como o consumo de café está aumentando no Brasil, segundo Edgard Bressani, a quali-dade do café vem melhorando gradativamente. Um dos sinais dessa tendência é o número de cafeterias abrindo todos os anos (são equivalentes ao número de livrarias no país, em torno de 3000, estas diminuindo, entretanto; as cafeterias aumentando). Neste cenário surge a figura do Barista, uma profissão que vem ganhando destaque no mercado de trabalho. Leia mais na Clínica Literária.

Nos dias 23, 24 e 25 de agosto, a cidade de Orlando teve o privilégio de receber o Embaixador Helio Ramos Filho, Consul Geral do Brasil em Miami e seu Cônsul Adjunto Fernando Mendonça de Magalhães Arruda para diversas atividades com a Comunidade, entre elas, um íntimo Café da Manhã com a Presidente e os diretores da Câmara de Comércio.

O embaixador teve essa idéia de fazer um encontro informal para conversar e estreitar os laços entre o Consulado e a Câmara com o objetivo de criar oportuni-dades para o desenvolvimento de projetos conjuntos no futuro.Nosso café da manhã aconteceu no novo escritório da Florida Connexion Properties, imobiliária brasileira localizada no coração da nossa Comunidade, na International Drive dirigida pela empresária Rosana Almeida.

Após 12 anos atuando como corretora para diferentes companhias, Rosana inau-gurou há um ano sua própria empresa e hoje tem um time com mais de 20 agentes extremamente preparados para atender não apenas os clientes locais como também os investidores de diversos países, principalmente o Brasil que hoje tem uma repre-sentação muito forte como um dos principais investidores no mercado imobiliário da Florida.

A Florida Connexion atua em todos os aspectos do mercado imobiliário, seja resi-dencial, comercial, aluguéis, investimentos e adminsitração. Rosana desenvolveu ao longo do tempo parcerias com outros profissionais como contadores, advogados, bancários, agentes de seguro, construtoras etc para que o seu cliente sinta-se seguro de que está tendo um atendimento completo. Sendo assim a Florida Connexion adotou o seguinte lema: Welcome Home!

E foi com essa intenção de Welcome Home que na manhã do dia 24 de agosto os diretores da Câmara, o embaixador, o cônsul adjunto e seus convidados Paulo Dias e o candidato Ronney Oliveira, puderam tomar um delicioso café da manhã forne-cido pelo recém inaugurado restaurante Amazon Forest, enquanto cuidadosamente o Embaixador Helio Ramos, procurava conhecer cada um dos diretores presentes, suas histórias, trajetórias de imigrante e suas conquistas profissionais. Foram duas horas de bate-papo muito agradável sobre nossa comunidade na Florida, sobre o Brasil de hoje e as aspirações futuras de todos. O Consul Geral foi convidado ao cargo de Presidente Honorario da CFBACC e o convite foi aceito.

General Consul of Brazil in Miami visits Orlando

On the 23rd, 24th and 25th of August, Orlando had the privilege of receiving Helio Ramos Filho Ambassador, Brazilian Consul General in Miami and his Deputy Consul Fernando Mendonça de Magalhães Arruda for various activities with the Brazilian Community leaders, including a Intimate Breakfast with the President and the directors of the Central Florida Brazilian American Chamber of Commerce.

The Ambassador had this idea for an informal chat to strengthen ties between the Consulate and the Board with the goal of creating opportunities to develop joint projects in the future.

Our breakfast took place at the new office of the Florida Connexion Properties, Brazilian Real Estate located in the heart of our community, on International Drive directed by Rosana Almeida.

After 12 years working as a broker for different companies, Rosana inaugurated her own-company a year ago and now has a team with over 20 agents, extremely prepared to meet not only local clients, but also investors from different countries, mainly Brazil that today has a very strong representation as a major investor in the real estate market in Florida.

The Florida Connexion operates in all aspects of real estate, whether residential, commercial, rentals, investments and Property ADMINISTRATION. Rosana developed partnerships with other professionals such as accountants, lawyers, bankers, insurance agents, builders and many other services to make sure her clients feel secure that they are having a complete assistance and attendance of all their needs. Thus Florida Connexion adopted the following motto: Welcome Home!

It was with this Welcome Home feeling intention that on the morning of August 24 th the Board Directors at CFBACC, the Ambassador, the deputy consul and his guests Paulo Dias, and Candidate Ronney Oliveira, could enjoy a delicious break-fast provided by the newly opened restaurant Amazon Forest Cafe.The Ambassador Helio Ramos Filho, sought to know each of the directors present, their histories, trajectories as immigrants and their professional accomplishments.

New Hope Assistance Center

For everything there is a time, a year ago the New Hope Assistance Center was just starting, New Hope

celebrated with a Ladies's tea. But in another circles other people also started their journey, like the Brazilian Consul General in Miami, Helio Vitor Ramos Filho, that was just arriving in Miami, about the same time.

Somehow like New Hope, he also has an eye for Community service, and we see that this is a great match. His work and constant help allowed the Center to grow, like a wave, his seeds of non stop dedica-tion to the Brazilians in Florida, not only in Orlando, flourished. The Miami Consulate is renewed and faster, new departments, more outreach, and faster expedition of documents. It is faster to get a Brazilian Passport here than in Brazil.

In another hand, the center was created to give back dignity and help the many Brazilians that suffer for so many reasons. The Portuguese language that almost fell forgotten in the back seat today is revived, learned, spoken and has been a preoccupation that generated many pro-grams that allow kids to learn their ori-gin, and be proud of it.

The Brazilian Support Day allows many

people to get the bureaucratic help they need, gathering documentation, and providing a service often needed by many.

Whatever your need is, the Consulate can help you as a Brazilian Citizen, or providing Visas to American Citizens, and the New Hope Center can help restore something precious many lost along the way. So here we are one year, many more to come and still a lot of work to be done.To finish the celebration a Cocktail and Dinner was offered to celebrate. Creators, directors, volunteers and all involved in the New Hope Assistance Center were present. Prizes were given, great food catered by Denize Catering, that also provides food for the Cirque du Soleil performers, running a restaurant inside the attraction to satisfy every dietary need the performers have.

From the Orlando Community besides the press, Consul Helio Vitor, his assistant Deputy Consul Fernando M.M. Arruda, Luis Martinez-Alicea, represen-tative of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, CFBACC Board of Directors, Real State authority Luiz Piquet, from Piquet Realty -Miami, and also part of the Isleworth- Tavistock Group in Windermere, AIP Insurance group, represented by Ana Regina Mirrha and her partners, many Church leadership members in Orlando, and business owners. New York Life was also an sponsor for the event.The children Chorus performed both Anthems, American and Brazilian and the night was great!

Almost 35 years of their creation, the Friendly Bean Club has been in many cities in Brazil, and many States, also in Japan and other countries too, but never in Orlando USA. Orlando was a big step, maybe the largest task of all and now after so long trying it finally happened.

Like many events in the Brazilian Commu-nity it was very festive, and for sure a happy moment that we all shared even when the Club President Michel Tuma Ness gave an emotional speech, kiaaing the American

Flag, thanking all present and all the sponsors and supporters. The beans and excellent quality food was a Camila's Restaurant presentation of the traditional Brazilian Feijoada, at its best, along with great service, all provided by Alex, Leo and their great crew .The cocktail party was provided by Cafe Mineiro also with the usual excellence.

The event was at the Ramada Gateway-Kissimmee-Fl with the supportof Visit Orlando- Orange County, Camila’s Restaurante CFBACC, Personal,Pirate’s Adventure, Magic Fligh, and Grupo Aguia.

Friendly Beans Club

The Friendly Bean Club was created in Brazil and represents the Tourism Industry entities, always promoting friendship and business with the most amicable way done.

Caros amigos e leitores, estou em uma nova fase de minha vida e também em uma nova fase,nas matérias sobre “Ecoturismo e Tu

rismo de Aventura”,vou sair um pouco do tema “Praias” e falar sobre outros locais em São Paulo e no Brazil,tão lindos e propícios para a pratica desta modali-

dade .Conheça nesta matéria um pouco sobre a ci-dade de Brotas, em São Paulo,Brazil,local ideal para os amantes da na-tureza ,para quem gosta de aventuras,e também

de bastante sossego,tambem conhecida como Capital paulista do Ecoturismo

O “TURISMO de AVENTURA” e o “ECOTURISMO” caracterizam-se por utilizar os recursos naturais exis-tentes no município para a realização de atividades esportivas e de contem-

plação e interação com a natureza. BROTAS-LOCALIZAÇÃO

Sudeste do Brasil, centro do Estado de São Paulo. Ao noroeste da capital, próxi-

ma às cidades de São Carlos e Jaú. Brotas está localizada bem no centro do estado de São Paulo, no coração de uma das regiões mais desenvolvidas do país, mas que ainda nos presenteia com suas riquezas e belezas naturais preservadas. Dotada de uma posição geográfica es-tratégica e privilegiada, vêm assumindo um novo caminho e desponta no contexto

ecoturístico nacional. Historicamente, sempre ligada à produção rural e à economia agrícola, teve sua época áurea no princípio do sé-culo XX, com a cultura do café. Brotas reúne características bastante significa-tivas no que se refere à preservação de re-cursos naturais, pois retém uma grande parcela de mata nativa, abrigando uma considerável biodiversidade animal e veg-etal. Mas seu maior patrimônio natural consiste no relevo de modo geral suave, na formação das "Cuestas Basálticas", e de seu grande manancial hídrico, de-stacando-se o rio Jacaré Pepira, um dos poucos rios ainda não poluídos do estado

de São Paulo.

Foto Arquivo do Autor

Edmundo CavalcantiEssas condições naturais fazem de Bro-tas uma das poucas regiões do interior de São Paulo que ainda concilia am-biente natural, com os aspectos de uma área quase toda ocupada pela atividade rural, garantindo-lhe uma forte beleza paisagística além de apresentar aspectos culturais típicos da comunidade local. Brotas abriga em suas "serras" várias nascentes e rios encachoeirados, que cortam vales e encostas, concentra uma enormidade de atrativos turísticos, na sua maioria hídricos (represa, ribeirões, cachoeiras, corredeiras e nascentes). Seu potencial natural aliado ao incremento de produtos e serviços turísticos, confere à região um enorme potencial para o turismo de aventura, ecoturismo e para o turismo rural. E hoje já é com certeza, ponto de referência para a prática de es-portes de aventura, como o rafting, bóia-cross, canyoning, arborismo e outros. ATIVIDADES DE TÉCNICASVERTICAIS ARVORISMO: percurso acrobático aéreo entre árvores utilizando equipamentos de técnicas verticais.CACHOEIRISMO: Prática de rapel em cachoeira. Há a possibilidade de descer a cachoeira em rapel mais de uma vez. CANIONISMO: Exploração de cânions encachoeirados utilizando diversas técni-cas, dentre elas o rapel. Natação, flutua-ção, marcha aquática, tobogã, saltos.

ESCALADA: Esporte praticado para as-censão de paredes rochosas ou artificiais (escalada indoor).

Bora Bora, located in the Islands of Tahiti, was re-

cently ranked the "#1 Island in the World"

U.S. News & World Report prefaces the rankings by asking, “What is it about an island that immediately invokes a daydream? That feeling of seclusion, for sure, but also those sprawling beaches, those rolling waves, and those untouched pockets of wilderness. For an island to be considered one of the ‘best,’ it must have that je ne sais quoi--that magical spark. The islands listed here boast a little extra something that keeps travelers enchant-ed.”

Bora Bora, known as the “The Romantic Island,” is often called the most beautiful island in the world. The tiny island - just 18 miles in circumference - is encircled by a protective necklace of coral. Lush mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the indescribable turquoise, lapis and aquamarine of the sheltered lagoon.

Arriving by air is a unique experience, landing on the airstrip that was built by U.S. troops during World War II. The

runway is on a motu (small islet), and visitors must travel by boat to reach the main island. It’s no surprise that most of the island’s activities center in and around Bora Bora’s spectacular lagoon.

The popular shark-feeding excursion puts visitors in the water and within safe view of reef sharks as they’re being fed by guides. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the Lagoonarium, a marine exhibit in the lagoon where the adventurous can swim with sting rays, manta rays, huge sea tur-tles and reef sharks. Bora Bora is home to world-class resorts and quaint French-inspired restaurants, and is known for its jet-setting celebrity visitors who relax anonymously on its secluded beaches.

Easier to travel than often imagined, Tahiti is eight hours by air from Los An-geles with daily nonstop flights. Tahiti is halfway between California and Austra-lia, on the same side of the International Date Line as North America and in the same time zone as Hawaii. There are a to-tal of 118 islands and atolls that comprise this beautiful South Pacific country. Ta-hiti’s varied landscape ranges from just-above sea level coral atolls to volcanic mountain peaks. Tahiti is renowned for warm waters, white-sand beaches and stunning turquoise lagoons.

Highly Anticipated Release Of Bob Dylan's Tempest Album To Be Celebrated By Numerous Fan Events Around The World

“World Premiere of “Duquesne Whistle” Single And Video, Sound Graffiti and Pop-Up

Stores Highlight Exciting Array Of Worldwide Events Marking Release Of Forthcoming Album “

Leading up to the highly anticipat-ed worldwide release of Bob Dylan’s

35th studio album, Tempest, Columbia Records is announcing an international lineup of events that will enable fans to experience the album in advance of its September 11 release date and celebrate with their fellow Bob Dylan enthusiasts around the globe.On Monday, August 27, the opening track from Tempest, “Duquesne Whis-tle” had its world premiere on NPR On-line (NPR.org/music). The song was recently described by the Los Angeles Times as, “the folky sound of old-time country blues guitar licks quietly unfurl-ing before the full band explodes into a driving big-beat rhythm as rollicking as the train ride the song explores.”

Two days later, at 9 a.m. GMT (4 a.m. EDT), the brand new video for “Duquesne Whistle,” featuring Bob Dylan, also had its world premiere on the website of The Guardian (guardiannews.com). The video was di-rected by Nash Edgerton, who also di-rected the clip for “Beyond Here Lies Nothing” from Dylan’s 2009 release, To-gether Through Life.On Friday, August 31, fans who visited listentobobdylan.com found a map of locations in the U.S. and nine other countries where selected songs from Tempest were streamed to mobile devices. The tracks were randomly streamed only when users were within the Tempest-tagged geographic areas, utilizing the free web-based Sound Graffiti app (which can be accessed directly through listentobobdylan.com. In addition to the U.S., other countries in which Sound Graffiti locations were found included Australia, Belgium, Bra-zil, Canada, France, Germany, Nether-lands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Fans who streamed the song were also given an opportunity to pre-order Tem-pest from iTunes while they listened.On Monday, September 10, dedicated Bob Dylan Tempest “pop-up” stores will open for a seven day period in New York City, Los Angeles and London.

H

At these stores, fans can purchase the new album, as well as other Bob Dylan releases and exclusive merchandise commemorat-ing these week-long events, including a limited quantity of CDs hand-signed by Bob Dylan.Bob Dylan Tempest stores will be open from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, Septem-ber 10 so that fans can buy Tempest a full day in advance of its official release, and will remain open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Sunday, September 16. Stores will be located at the following U.S. locations:

819 Washington Street, New York, NY 100147763 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90046

A Bob Dylan Tempest store also opened in London on September 10th and remained open through Monday, September 17 at the following location:47 Beak Street, London, W1F 9SE

While detailed reviews of Tempest were not published by media outlets until last week, early notices have hailed Bob Dylan’s 35th studio album as one of his finest works.

Neil McCormick of The Telegraph wrote, “It is fantastic to be able to report that popu-lar music’s greatest troubadour is still as bril-liant and bewildering as ever…. This is an al-bum I can’t wait to hear again, the sound of a great artist approaching the twilight of his career with fearless creativity.”

Author and pop music critic Robert Hilburn wrote, “Dylan set the bar high for himself with the se-ries of rich, engaging albums that began with Time Out of Mind, and he clears the hurdle again gloriously with Tempest. A stunning work.” Michael Simmons of Mojo Online wrote, “Tempest is astonishing.”Earlier this year, Bob Dylan was the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor. He was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for “his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyri-cal compositions of extraordinary poetic power.” He was also the recipient of the French Com-mandeur des Arts et des Lettres in 1990, Swe-den’s Polar Music Award in 2000 and numerous other honors.SOURCE Columbia Records

Bob Dylan new CD

Smash Mouth's New Album "MAGIC" Available @Amazon Exclusive Including Six Bonus Remixes-First Single "Magic" Heading For Top 20 Smash Mouth, the band that gave you crazy memorable hits like "All Star," "Walkin' On The Sun," "Then the Morning Comes" and "I'm A Believer" among many others, has signed with 429 Records and set for the release of their brand new album "MAGIC" today.

The title track “Magic” is looking to be another monster radio smash as it is poised to enter the Top 20 of the mainstream AC Radio Media-base Chart and Billboard Chart. The band is back with original members Steve Harwell (vocals), Paul Del-isle (Bass) and Mike Klooster (key-boards). Rookie players this time around are Randy Cooke (drums) and Mike Krompass (guitar). Krom-pass in fact, also helmed the producer’s mantle (having worked with Nelly Furtado and David Ar-chuleta) capturing the quintessential Smash Mouth party sound as well as helping to take them to the next level. The band will spend the rest of 2012 touring behind the new project as well as promoting the release of their rock and roll cookbook--”RECIPES FROM THE ROAD.” In addition, Amazon is offering an exclusive album package with six addi-tional remixes. “MAGIC” is available everywhere today on 429 Records.The release of the album and single are perfectly in tune with the band’s reputation for being the “sound of summer.” From their debut in 1997 when the smash hit “Walkin’ On The Sun” (played by KROQ before any label deal) powered their album “Fush Yu Mang” to double platinum sales, the band has scored hit after hit worldwide. Smash Mouth has toured extensively with notable stops in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay where they entertained U.S. troops.

This month I wanted to talk about Orlando's diverse music scene. It seems that you can find just about any type of artist in the world, here in the O. I love the new style of Dubstep that is going around now.

Dubstep has evolved since it 1st came out and the new stuff has Hip Hop over tones which makes it a new style. Music is supposed to be challenged and the kids today are so willing to try new things. Dubstep is taking Orlando by storm.

Even the big artists are coming out with Dubstep tracks. At South Coast Records, we have jumped on the Dubstep train by signing Some KosherYuppy. SKY's 1st re-lease "My Dubstep Experience" isdoing very well here and abroad.

It was produced by Stupid Genius. SG will be releasing his 2nd album "Draped up and Dubbed out later this year. As an Indie label, it is important to stay cur-rent with what the majors are doing and all of the majors are starting to use Dubstep to somedegree.

So if you have not heard of it, make sure you do because its here to stay. If you want to know where you can see SomeKosh-erYuppy or Stupid Genius, be sure to check them out @ www.southcoastrecords.com

Coty Beauty Launches Closer By Halle BerryA Coty Beauty anuncia o lançamento mundial, para esse mes, da nova fragrância, Closer by Halle Berry."Eu queria criar uma fragrância única para mulheres que também atraísse os homens," disse Halle Berry. "Perfume é algo inti-mamente relacionado com desejo e atração e adoro a ideia que uma fragrância possa juntar um homem e uma mulher. A fragrância Closer cria um novo nível de intimidade através do poder do perfume".

Closer by Halle Berry possui uma mistura rara de notas femininas e masculi-nas, o que cria um perfume intrigante que atrai tanto homens como mulheres. O renomado perfumista Jacques Cavallier soube misturar perfeitamente as facetas opostas da fragrância, envolvendo a essência clássica masculina de acorde amadeirado com uma mistura feminina gostosa de violetas e mimosas, uma das flores favoritas de Halle. Uma essência central rica, quente e amadei-rada envolvida por notas delicadas e com um toque alegre do frescor do ozônio. O resultado, segundo Halle Berry, é uma fragrância "moderna, sexy, versátil, ao mesmo tempo em que é atemporal. Uma mulher deve usá-la sempre que quiser sentir-se sexy".Assim como a fragrância agrada tanto homens como mulheres, o design da embalagem também. Arrojado e moderno, ele é bárbaro. Tanto o frasco quanto a embalagem são enfeitados com linhas intrincadas que imitam o contorno do corpo masculino e do feminino. Esta curvatura provocante é visível no elegante frasco em formato de prisma, o que cria um jogo sedutor de opostos.

about perfumesCoty Beauty announces the worldwide launch, in September 2012, of the new fragrance, Closer by Halle Berry.”I wanted to create a unique fragrance for women that would also appeal to men,” says Halle Berry. “Scent is very closely linked with desire and attraction and I love the idea that a fragrance can bring a man and a woman together. Closer creates a new level of intima-cy through the power of scent.”

Closer by Halle Berry is a rare blend of feminine and masculine notes, creat-ing an intriguing scent that is as alluring for men as it is for women. Renowned master perfumer Jacques Cavallier perfectly married the oppos-ing fragrance facets, enveloping the traditional masculine fougere accord with a luscious feminine blend of violet flowers and mimosa, one of Halle's favorite flowers. A rich, warm woodsy center is surrounded by delicate notes and a bubbly fresh ozonic top accord. The result said Halle Berry, "is mod-ern, sexy, versatile, yet timeless. A woman should wear this whenever she wants to feel sexy."

Just as the fragrance has an appeal that extends to both men and women, so too does the packaging design. Streamlined and modern, it is an instant classic. Both the bottle and the carton are adorned with intricate lines that mimic the contours of the male and female body. This provocative curvature shows up on the elegant prism-shaped bottle, creating an enticing play of op-posites.

Chocolate lollipopsDoes it sounds hard to make?Not really!I'll explain step by step of how to make this cute and delicous party favour.You will need*chocolate or chocolate candy melts*candy mold*cookie cutters (shapes you desire)*fondant (colors you desire)*sticks*ribbons*cellophane bags1- Melt the chocolate or melt the chocolate according to the manufacturer instructions.

2- Pour the melted chocolate into the candy molds

3- Add the sticks to the mold. Spin the stick to cover it with the chocolate.

4-Put the filled mold in the refrigerator until candy has set. ( about 15 minutes.) You can tell if the candy is done by look-ing at the underside. It tends to have a frosted appearance, if there are any dark areas it means some of the coating is still soft, just refrigerate them longer

5-When is ready to unmold turn over the mold about an inch above a flat surface covered with parchment or waxed paper. After gently flexing the mold, the candies will fall out.

6-Use the cookie cutters to cut out fondant shapes and assemble them into the pops using melted chocolate as glue

7-Put them in cellophane bags and tie them with ribons

Entre tantas coisas, que eu pode-ria citar, para medir a qualidade de vida que levamos, eu selecio-

nei apenas duas coisas práticas: o que comemos e o que pensamos!

Quantos conhecem aquele ditado: “você é o que come!” Pois bem, é constatado que aproximadamente 80% das doenças que adquirimos ao longo da vida, são oriun-das de uma má alimentação. Portanto, se você deseja viver uma vida saudável, é importante mudar seu habito-alimentar! A segunda coisa fundamental que escolhi para uma vida saudável, são os pensam-entos!

Quantos conhecem aquele ditado: “Uma mente sã, corpo são! Você já parou para perceber que tudo o que existe em nossa volta, um dia foi apenas um pensamento! A forma como pensamos determina, a forma como sentimos e reagimos, que por sua vez determinam a qualidade e intensi-dade do nosso comportamento. O Ser humano é o ser mais ignorante quando nasce, para se tornar o mais in-teligente quando cresce! O que nos dife-rencia de entre todos os outros animais é o nosso potencial de pensamento, já dizia o filosofo francês, Decartes: “penso logo existo.” Quer saber se sua vida vai bem? Repense de que forma você tem alimen-tado seu corpo e sua mente!

Na vida agitada das grandes capi-tais, somos levados a um habito alimentar bastante perigoso, chamado “fast-food”. São ricos em carboidratos porém sem nenhum valor nutricional, ultrapassam as cotas calóricas sugeridas pelos nutrólo-gos, sendo hoje uma das principais cau-sas da obesidade. São ingeridas em ape-nas uma refeição de “fast-food”, mais de 1100kcal, equivalentes as três principais refeições do dia.

A vida agitada faz com que tenhamos uma dieta deficiente em minerais, fibras, pro-teínas e vitaminas. Existe uma diferença entre comer e se nutrir! A Deficiência nu-tritiva do corpo esta ligada a baixa .do sistema de imunidade, que lhe torna suscetível ao envelhecimento precoce, ti-pos de câncer e as mais variadas doenças, tais como hepáticas, gripes, pneumonias e ate dores crônicas pelo corpo.

O Estresse e até a depressão, também são fatores que podem estar ligados a nu-trição. Por isso busque seu nutricionista, para que ele possa desenvolver uma dieta saudável, baseada em frutas, legumes e etc! Cuidar da saúde do corpo é tão importante quanto cuidar da saúde da alma!

Charles PortelaDicas de Q

ualidade de Vida

A forma como pensamos de-termina a qualidade de vida que temos. “Como o homem

se imagina em seu coração, assim ele é...”(Provérbios 23:7) Você é o que você pensa! Com que tipo de pensa-mento você ocupa sua mente? O Que você pensa a respeito de si mesmo, a respeito de Deus, das pessoas e do mundo que te cerca?

A forma como você pensa vai de-terminar a realidade em que você vive. Suas percepções formulam seus pensamentos, seus pensamentos, estimulam seus sentimentos, que influenciam seu comportamento, seu comportamento constituirá seu caráter e seu caráter será seu destino! Uma frase interessante de Esteve Jobs: “O mundo sempre é transformado por pessoas loucas que pensam que podem mudar o mundo”. Existem três processos mentais pelos quais correm os pensamentos: a memória, a análise e a imaginação! Na memória, temos o armazenamen-to de informação e conhecimento. A parte frontal do cérebro, é responsáv-el pela análise e tomada de decisão. A imaginação faz parte da projeção criativa do pensamento! O potencial da nossa inteligência, nos distingue dos outros animais, porque temos o poder de manipular, corrigir ou in-

teragir com os dados e informações que adquirimos. Por isso podemos reestruturar processos da memória, tais como culpa, falta de perdão e etc... (Que geralmente estão ligadas as experiências do passado e nos fazem sofrer no presente). Inclusive os pro-cessos de projeção de pensamentos tais como ansiedade e medo podem ser de igual modo transformados ( que geralmente estão ligados ao fu-turo e de igual modo nos fazem sofrer no presente).

Por isso “diz-me o que comes e o que pensas e eu te direi quem és”. Pense nisso, a forma como você se alimenta e a forma como você pensa, vai de-terminar sua qualidade de vida! Vou deixar uma dica pra vocês: “Quanto ao mais, irmãos, tudo o que é verda-deiro, tudo o que é honesto, tudo o que é justo, tudo o que é puro, tudo o que é amável, tudo o que é de boa fama, se há alguma virtude, e se há al-gum louvor, nisso pensai.” (Filipenses 4:8)

Quantos de nos teve a oportunidade de sen-tir no coração a presença do Senhor?Andamos muitas vezes sozinhos, tristes,

deprimidos, sem harmonia, falta algo.pois muitas vezes não nos damos conta de que pre-cisamos abrir nossos corações a Deus.Eu poderia dar o meu testemunho, assim como muitas pessoas o fazem, mas seria errado, pois para cada um de nos a grandiosidade de Deus se apresenta de maneira completamente diferente, e a experiencia e' única para cada um de nos.Deixo então em aberto e espero que vocês tenham curiosidade suficiente de procurar esse conforto para vocês.

Eu não procurava, mas mesmo assim me mostraram o caminho, e eu segui pois não tinha nada a perder e precisava ver com meus próprios olhos.Aceitar Jesus, e oferecer seu coração como moradia e’ só o começo. A Igreja e’ um presente, a família eterna, que você ama a cada um como ir-mão, filho, neto, e jamais os esquece mesmo não estando por perto.

Ver em cada sorriso das crianças a esperança de que o mundo será um dia bem melhor do que hoje, pois eles têm uma base religiosa que muitos de nos não teve a oportunidade de adquirir, e isso vai fazer uma enorme diferença no futuro. O Ministério Brasileiro da First Baptist Orlando esse mês tem a alegria de receber um novo Pastor, Pastor Nacif e estamos contentes.Todos os meses nos celebramos os aniversários e reafirmamos o nosso compromisso um com o outro. A fé e' isso, um eterno recomeçar, todos os dias, sempre acreditando na palavra, no próximo e no perdão. Celebrando tudo que podemos.

How many of us had the opportunity to feel the Lord's presence in our hearts?I often walked alone, sad,

depressed, without harmony, something was always missing, because we do not realize that we need to open our hearts to God.I could give you my complete testimony, as many people do, but it would be wrong, because for each of us God’s grandiosity presents itself quite differently, and the experience is unique to each one of us.I leave it open to you, and then I hope you will have enough curiosity to search for that comforting feeling for yourself.I was not looking, but someone still showed me the way, I followed because I had nothing to lose and needed to see with my own eyes.Accept Jesus and housing him in your heart is just the beginning of a wonderful journey.Church life is this, the eternal family, you love each other as brothers, sons, grandsons, and never forget them, even when they are not around, you are bonded by faith.See in every kid’s smile the hope that the world will one day, be better than today, because they have a religious basis that many of us did not have the opportunity to acquire, and this will make a huge difference in the future.The Brazilian Ministry of First Baptist Orlando this month has the joy of welcoming a new pastor, Pastor Nacif and are glad, happily blessed.Every month we celebrate birthdays as a tra-dition, and reaffirm our commitment to each other, that our Faith is that everyday restart, always believing in the word, and the need of forgiveness. Celebrating everything we can.

After many months in a long journey where we wondered many times, we prayed, and waited if this day would ever come. God has mysterious ways, his own time and the wisdom to show it to us everyday like a patient father.

The Brazilian Ministry at First Baptist was under reconstruction for months, leaders and faithful followers stayed put like soldiers, guarding the temple, waiting for the day the Pastor would come to take his sheep. But God, that knew exactly what they needed during this time sent Josh, that held everyone's hand dear to his heart and he stayed, they followed him, because they knew it was the right thing to do, and when you believe in God you wait and you go on.

If you believe singing is good for the soul, you are right because they sing, and sing for Sundays to come until the singing got stronger, andmore people came, more children, babies arrived and they kept moving on. Old friends came back, new friends

arrived, and they sheltered many on rainy days. They grew stronger with the Lord, because no matter what they learned to trust each other . Healing as you see is not a day process but whatever time is needed to see things clear, to be comfortable with the changes and move on without looking back, because from now on past is past and the future the Lord is laying in our path.

They have a Pastor, Pastor Nassif, his wife Lucia and the gates to a new beginning, with a beautiful future is now opening.Like he said it is good to start well, but also good to end well, and when it is time to go, finish the same way I started.

The ceremony was beautiful, Pastor David Uth opened the service, and it followed with music, the kids chorus, the Brazilian Ministry Quire and a few words from Josh. Many Pastors from the community were present and prayed with all. Everyone is happy, the presence of God was noticed and gave all a feeling of accomplishment with the heart filled with faith.

Mayor Buddy Dyer Announces Public Art Project and Call for Artists SEE ART ORLANDO

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer is proud to join with community leaders

for the launch of SEE ART ORLANDO, a public sculpture community project designed to enhance the aesthetic expe-rience and cultural image of Downtown Orlando through the installation of iconic works of art throughout the city core. This new initiative builds on Or-lando’s already vibrant arts community that was recently reported to generate approximately $94 million worth of spending by tourists, residents and non-profit organizations helping to support nearly 3,487 local jobs according to a study done by Americans for the Arts.

“This is the decade for the arts in Orlando - from the construction

of the new Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts to this new collab-orative project, SEE ART ORLANDO - the arts are thriving in our com-munity,” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “I believe this project will fur-ther propel Downtown Orlando as

a destination for not only residents from across the region, but also our visitors.”

SEE ART ORLANDO is a non-profit organization comprised of com-

munity leaders who represent a cross section of arts organizations, including United Arts, Downtown Arts District, Orange County Cultural Arts Advisory Board, City Arts Factory and Florida Theatrical Association. Phase I of the project will include up to nine perma-nent sculpture installations with high-visibility in Downtown Orlando. Each installation will be underwritten by cor-porate sponsors and maintained by the City of Orlando without utilizing tax-payer dollars. The first phase of sculp-tures is expected to be installed by the summer of 2013. SEE ART ORLANDO board members include Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, Jennifer Quigley (chair), Frank Billingsley, Linda Landman Gon-zalez, Ron Legler, Jocelynn White, Don-na Dowless and Wendy Connor.

SEE ART ORLANDO’S spokesperson Jennifer Quigley said "Public Art enrich-

es our quality of life and will engage both visitors and residents alike. Our vision is to have artists from across the globe and here at home create contemporary sculpted art that reflects our young, dynamic community’s spirit."

A local, national and international call for artists is underway, as SEE ART ORLANDO seeks experienced, professional sculptors to create the works of art to be displayed throughout Downtown. Artists interested in being considered for the 2012-13 SEE ART ORLANDO Sculpture project must apply by October 15, 2012. More information is available at seeartorlando.com.

The response by our corporate and indi-vidual sponsors has been outstanding.

Below are quotes from some of the SEE ART ORLANDO sculpture sponsors:

“The DeVos family is pleased to be a part of this exciting public sculpture community project. Orlando is a world class City and as such deserves world class art. This program will foster economic development, educa-tion and improve the quality of the Orlando experience.”“Massey Services proudly supports the arts community in Orlando and we are pleased to be a part of this public sculpture community project,” says Harvey Massey. “The develop-

ment of SEE ART ORLANDO, along with our new performing arts center, establishes Orlando as a vital and vibrant arts commu-nity, provides a source of pride for our resi-dents, and promotes growth and prosperity within the Central Florida Community.”

“Any great city needs to have art – not just art, but a diversity of it and the base of the

arts is the community,” says City Beverages CEO Ford Kiene. “One of my favorite places is the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, where you can walk, run or bicycle along the edge of Elliot Bay with a view of the Olympic Mountains, the Puget Sound and fabulous sculptures alongside of you. The park was created by a group of Seattleites - not just for the residents but for the surrounding communities and visitors from around the world.”

Khaled Akkawi, owner of Shoot Straight, said "I moved to Orlando in 1980 from

Beirut, Lebanon. I attended Boone High School, Valencia College, and the University of Central Florida and I am very proud to be able to make a lasting contribution to the city I am proud to call my home."

Percebendo a Depressão na Adolescência

Existem algumas ideias erradas acer-ca da depressão na adolescência, assim como acerca dos adolescentes em geral. Sabemos que a adolescência é difícil, mas a maioria dos jovens contrabalança a ansiedade e angustia com boas amiza-des, sucesso na escola ou em outras ativi-dades, e o desenvolvimento de um forte sentido de si próprio.

Maus humores e rebeldia são normais na idade, mas a depressão na adolescên-cia é muito diferente. A depressão pode destruir a essência da personalidade do adolescente, causando tristeza, desespe-ro, ou raiva.

O fato é que a depressão atinge mais os adolescentes do que a maioria das pes-soas pensa. E apesar da depressão poder ser tratada, os especialista afirmam que são poucos os adolescentes deprimidos que buscam ajuda. Ao contrário dos adultos, que têm a capacidade de procu-rar ajuda sozinhos, os adolescentes de-pendem dos pais, professores ou outros adultos para aperceberem seu sofrimen-to e encaminha-los para um tratamento.

Portanto, se tiver um adolescente pre-sente na sua vida, é importante que saiba o que é uma depressão na adolescência e como detectar os sinais de alarme.

Sintomas

Os sintomas da depressão caracte-rizam-se por uma perda de interesse, pela incapacidade de sentir prazer, di-minuição da atividade devido à falta de energia, cansaço profundo. Frequen-temente, o deprimido apresenta distúrbios graves de memória e concentra-ção, baixa auto estima e pouca auto-confiança, sen-timentos de culpa e inutilidade.

Quero citar dois efeitos que conside-ro um sinal de alerta para os pais, pois geralmente o adolescente deprimido tem dificuldade em se abrir e achar que o adulto não o entendera e que não vale a pena se abrir…Baixa auto –estima: A depressão pode levar um adolescente a sentir-se feio, envergonhado, falho ou sem valor.

Distúrbios Alimentares : Anorexia, bulimia, comer de mais e fazer dietas “yo-yo” são frequentes sinais de depres-sao.Lembre-se o adolescente precisa de alguém que o ajude. E necessário persis-tência, aceitação e seguir as medicações e os tratamentos propostos para a recu-peração…

Deo BritosRealizing the Depression during Adolescence There are some misconceptions about depression in adolescence, as well as about teenagers in general. We know that adolescence is difficult, but most young balance anxiety and angst with good friendships, success in school or other activities, and developing a strong sense of self.Bad moods and rebelliousness are at normal age, but depression in adoles-cence is very different.

Depression can destroy the essence of a teen’s personality, causing sadness, despair, or anger. The fact is that depression affects more adolescents than most people know. And although depression can be treated, the experts say there are a few depressed teens seeking help.Unlike adults, who have the ability to search help themselves, adolescents depend on their parents, teachers or other adults to realize their suffering and forward them to treatment. So if you have a teenager in your present life, it is important that you know what is a depression in adolescence and how to spot the warning signs.

Symptoms

The symptoms of depression are char-acterized by a loss of interest, inability to experience pleasure, reduced activity due to lack of energy, deep tiredness.

Often, the depressed presents serious disorders of memory and concentration, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, feelings of guilt and worthlessness.I cite two effects that I consider a warning sign for parents, because usually the depressed teenager has difficulty opening up and find that the adult did not understood and it is not worth open up... Low self-esteem: Depression can take a teen to feel ugly, embarrassed, faulty or worthless.Eating Disorders: Anorexia, bulimic, eating more and dieting "yo-yo" are frequent signs of depressao.Remember the teen needs someone to help them. It is necessary persistence, acceptance and follow medications and treatments for recovery ...

A MUSICA E AS ENDORFINAS Esse mês gostaria de tecer alguns comen-tarios sobre a liberação de Endofirnas no nosso corpo....As endorfinas, e o prazer de ouvir uma boa musica.....As endorfinas são substâncias químicas neurotransmissoras que têm a função de transmitir para o cerebro os sinais elétricos utilizados, existindo mais de 20 diferentes tipos. A beta-endorfina, é a mais eficiente, pois ela causa o maior sentido de euforia As Endorfinas * Melhoram a memória;* Melhoram o estado de espírito (bom humor);* Aumentam a resistência;* Aumentam a disposição física e mental;* Melhoram o nosso sistema imunológico;* Bloqueiam as lesões dos vasos sanguíneos;* Têm efeito antienvelhecimento, pois re-movem superóxidos (radicais livres);* Aliviam as dores.Hoje, sabemos que ao ouvirmos música lib-eramos endorfinas o que resulta no desencadeamento dos diversos efeitos citados acima.A música tem uma força excepcional no equilíbrio da pessoa. Ela tem o poder de energia, de reduzir o stress, e mesmo de estabelecer o equilíbrio fisiológico.

A Bíblia cita que foi a harpa de Davi

que tirou o rei Saul de uma depressão. No Talmud, encontramos referências a um aparelho que fazia com que gotas d'água caíssem continuamente em um vaso de metal, criando com isso um som murmurante contínuo queajudava a pessoa a adormecer e a recuperar-se.

O oncologista americano Mitchell L. Gaynor, diretor de oncologia médica do Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center, filiado ao New York Hospitaldemonstra em seu livro, Sons que Curam ( Sounds of Healing) , estudos que comprovam os efeitos proporcionados pela música, em especialnas pessoas que passaram por problemas graves de saúde.Realizados entre as décadas de 80 e 90, e os estudos apontaram que a música é capaz de modificar a fisiologia.

As técnicas utilizadas napesquisa foram as mais diversas, de ex-posição dos pacientes à música clássica, marchas militares e trilhas sonoras de filmes.Os principais efeitos apontados são:* Redução da ansiedade e das freqüências cardíaca e respiratória* Redução das complicações cardíacas* Redução da pressão arterial* Aumento dos mensageiros de células do

Elita Freitassistema imunológico* Queda nos níveis dos hormônios do es-tresse* Aumento da produção de substâncias que causam bem-estar, como as endorfinas.

A força da música é reconhecida desde tempo imemorial. Historicamente vamos encontrar evidência disto nos escritos dos filósofos gregos, como Homero, Platão, Plu-tarco, Aristóteles, e especialmente Pitágo-ras e seus discípulos, onde mencionavam que a música podia ser usada como agente de cura psíquica. Homero recomendava a música para evitar paixões negativas tais como a ira, o pesar, a preocupação, o medo e a fadiga, além de promover uma recrea-ção saudável para a elevação da alma e do corpo. Para Platão,ouvir música era da mais alta importância para o bem-estar do estado e a saúde do povo.

Na opinião de Aristóteles as duas princi-pais funções da música eram servir como catarse das emoções e construir um caráter ético forte.Estudos atuais demonstram que pacientes expostos à musicoterapia utilizam menos medicamentos para o controle da dor e dos efeitos colaterais provocados pe-los tratamentos.“A música é muito bem recebida pelos paci-entes acostumados com tratamentos que, de certa forma, causam sofrimento"fonte de pesquisa - Dr.William Eduardo Nogueira Soares - Diretor do Instituto San

Giovanni -Aracaju-Sergipe - Brasil A vibração produzida pelo ultra-som em cada célula faz com que o corpo produza endorfina. E quanto mais música, mais endorfina. Não é ótimo? É só ouvir muita música!!!!

A vibração da música tem muitos efeitos. Além da produção da endorfina, dinamiza a energia do corpo e traz vontade de movi-mento. Ouvindo sempre, a pessoa se torna mais positiva e pode até mesmo afetar sua forma de pensar e agir, transformando seu estado de consciência. O Brazilian Voices ja a algum tempo leva aos Hospitais e Casas de Repouso a musica, e para mim que faco parte desse maravilho-so grupo a musica faz bem, nao so a quem ouve, mas tambem a quem canta!!!!

The MUSIC and endorphins This month, I would like to make a few comments about the release of endor-phins in our body ....Endorphins, and the pleasure of listening to a good song .....Endorphins are chemicals that serve as neurotransmitters used to send electrical signals to the brain. There are over 20 different types, the beta-endorphin,is the most efficient because it causes the greatest sense of euphoria in the brain,

The Endorphins * Improve memory;* Improve mood (mood);* Increase the resistance;* Increase physical and mental disposition;* Improve our immune system;* Block lesions to the blood vessel;* Have anti-aging effects, because remove superoxides (free radicals);* Relieves the pain.

Today, we know that when we hear music we release endorphins which results in triggering the various effects mentioned above.

Music has exceptional strength in balanc-ing the person. It has the power of energy, reduce stress, and even to establish the physiological balance. The Bible men-tions that the harp of David saved King Saul from a depression. In the Talmud,

we find references to a device that made water drops fall continuously in a metal vessel, thus providing a continuous murmuring sound helping people to sleep and recover.

The American oncologist Mitchell L. Gaynor, director of medical oncology at the Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center, affiliated with the New York Hospital demonstrated in his book, Sounds of Healing, studies showing the effects provided by music, especially in people who have had serious health problems.Held between the 80’s and 90’s, studies showed that music can change the physiology. The techniques used inresearch were the most diverse patient exposure to classical music, military marches and movie soundtracks.The main effects found were:* Reduction in anxiety and heart and respiratory* Reduction of cardiac complications* Reduction of blood pressure* Increase in the messengers of immune cells* Drop in levels of stress hormones* Increased production of substances that cause welfare, such as endorphins.

The power of music has been recognized since time immemorial.

Historically we find evidence of this in the writings of Greek philosophers, such as Homer, Plato, Plutarch, Aristotle, and especially Pythagoras and his disciples, that mentioned that music could be used as an agent of psychic healing. Homer recommended music to avoid negative passions such as anger, grief, worry, fear and fatigue, and also to promote a healthy recreation for the elevation of soul and body.

For Plato, music was of a high importance for the mind’s welfare and for people’s health. In Aristotle's view, the two main functions of music were to serve as catharsis of emotions and to build a strong ethical character .Studies demonstrate that patients exposed to music therapy use less medication for pain con-trol and are less susceptible to side effects caused by treatments.

"The music is very well received by patients accustomed to treatments that, in a way, cause suffering".source - Dr. William Eduardo Soares Nogueira - Director of the Institute-San Giovanni Aracaju-Sergipe - Brazil

The vibration produced by ultrasound in each cell causes the body to produce endor-

phins. And the more music, more endor-phins. Isn’t that great? Just listen to lots of music!!The vibration of music has many effects. Besides the production of endorphins, boosts the body's energy and brings ease of movement. Listening always, the person becomes more positive and can even affect your way of thinking and acting, transforming his state of consciousness. The Brazilian Voices ja takes some time to Hospitals and Homes of Rest music, and to me that part of this wonderful group phaco the music is good, who not only listens, but also the singing!! by Elita Freitas

Have a great Month ! See you in October !
