Good things happen every day, being rewarded for our work, and effort is an amazing gift and we can say that our crew in diligent, works in tune, works really hard and that makes a difference.

Just to have an idea, we made the decision of being bi-weekly because nobody can sit and wait a whole month to know what is going on. So here we are, every 2 weeks we have a new issue, and we are very proud of it.

We are Brazilians and Americans making an effort to communicate, we have an open dialogue with our readers, and they enjoy the freedom. We have an Art Editor in Brazil, Edmundo Cavalcanti, our Art Edi-tor in Europe, Suzana Jardim, and in America Cora-lie Curator of Jai Galery is our Art Editor in charge. Jai Galery has been a great supporter of ABOUTUS and we are thankful.

As part of our program we are always tuned with our community as far as Brazilian manifestations of cul-ture and costumes, one of them Soccer and World Cup, reason why we visited Vittorio’s Restaurant, Camilas and pao Gostoso to check the decorations and effort to give Brazilians a home away from home during the games.

We also asked the crew at Vittorios to show their love to the Orlando City Soccer Club, and Toninho our Embassador at Perfumeland and they all jumped into it ! Here is the photo on the right! we thank them for the support!

We hope you like this issue it is made to inform you and to show you how much we all have to give and enjoy in this great world. We are positive that one day everyone will understand that the environment needs our help.

sometimes we just need to wait a little for the next smile...

30 years of development and experience within the world of print, art and design has been the preparation of the art work presented today.

Installations, photography, drawing, painting, colors, light, shapes, shadows and composi-tion, are the elements of my art work. My canvas is a screen and my materials are colored par-ticulars of light...

Using all traditional techniques of art, with virtual tools such as wireless pen brush, pigments

inks, lacquers. Creating an ex-pression of a dream and spirit where the reality appears more real than ever.

Starting with an emotion/feel-ing, I shoot any subject that I find on my journey to give shape to my inspiration and my feel-ings... Back to my studio I begin the art process to complete an ab-stract, conceptual, emotion-al and spiritual work, with my personal statement into a new creation.

Yoel TordjmanA ARTE RECRIADA POR SENSIBILIDADE DIVINA

Tenho a honra e o privilegio de dialogar ha alguns anos com este gênio da arte francêsa, que vive em Jerusalém. São os benefícios de usar a tecnologia que nos permite esse dialogo franco e global.

Yoel é uma pessoa sensível e acessível, talentoso e imaginário na sua arte tão concreta e real. As imagens falam por si e nas suas indagações navegam sen-timentos profundos que nos permitem saber que nada acontece por acaso, pois a arte de recriar é responsabilidade de pessoas sensíveis.

what did you feel when you start a new work?

I start a new work when i feel div-ing insie the present emotion it's can be any emotion it's a way of ex-pression. I dont start a new work with any idea or concept I just close my eyes and then i "walk" in my al-bums and pick any picture from my library ( I almost make macro pho-tography and keep them ) it's can be a small deatil or color or light and I start to paint on my screen until I find the expression of my present emotion.

How did you do? did you work with all kind of tech-niques and technologies to do, because your work is so under de imagination...how is the format final of the work, digital or paint format final digital on kanvas, or paper?

I use all art technics I practice most-ly of all during 30 years, in the last 3 years my base is macro photogra-phy and wacom pen on a big screen ( 40 inch) bit at the end it's maybe 5 % of the original photo i recom-pose it, coloring, deleting, adding a new art work from one detail then I print on canvas and over paint with ink, acrylic and laquers...

How is the marketing approach to your collections and to your work?

My last expo was in a museum in Jerusalem for the Bienal of Con-temporary Art, 6 months ago.

I started building my marketing in networks and in return I had 80.000 comments, 180.000 likes and millions of visitors. In the last 3 years galleries and art dealers have discovered me at social networks, I don’t advertise, its like the impressionism revolution the pub-lic likes it...

What kind of reaction from observers have you re-ceived? Which one was the most intensive?

It’s impossible to say it because it’s the whole beauty of being human, with all emotions that’s make me cry many times, and when I read them, I have an autist that got healed from my works, depressed people, sick people, I have hun-dreeds of stories that make me see the beauty of souls from all over the world... I choose a few impression and com-ments from people thorough this link.http://www.yoeltordjmanart.com/#!what-peoples-says-/c141a

What did you miss more? Desires, needs...

I miss all of it. I would like to share more with more people all over the world. A fan told me one year ago, that he wanted to comit suicide and after seeing my art work he decided to stay alive and to enjoy life until today, but it’s also a simple person that can write that she feels happy when she sees my artwork. I love the most simple expression of life from simple people speaking with the heart .... this is real art for me...

You are really special and I am so glad I had the chance to experience these feelings about your work to show the universe, again, and may-be save some people and artists who are questioning about all.... you are incredeble, thank you.

gital The Hotspotorlando, was created in

2011, and since then is a major part in everything new, that affects our community. Based in Orlando The-Hotspot has a unique relationship with the Brazilian Community, not just because we are Brazilians but also because we love the Commu-nity as a whole. A beautiful Diverse community with great potential filled with professionals of the high-est level, that contribute direct on indirectly to the fact that orlando is a City Beautiful and one of the best cities to live and work in the US.

As citizens we love this country and we respect the land, its people and the beautiful language. It is import-ant to us to write in English, to get everyone involved, including Bra-zilians of third generation, that can’t read Portuguese, making everyone a part of what we do, and the work we like to share. But we don’t print, and this is our argument.

According to statistics, 500.000 trees are killed to allow the Sunday papers to exist! Just on Sundays! Imagine ! we need to think about this! What would you pick? Trees or Paper ?! Check this site.

http://www.elephantjournal.com/

500,000 trees must be cut down just to produce each week’s Sunday news-paper (all U.S. Sunday papers com-bined).

• In total, newsprint consumption

in the U.S. (2009) meant a loss of 95 million trees, generation of 126 billion gallons of waste water and emission of 73 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. Ouch!

• Recycling a single run of the Sun-day New York Times would save 75,000 trees.

• If all newspaper was recycled—in-cluding the daily papers—we’d save about 250 million trees each year.

• About 65 percent of U.S. news-print is sourced from ecologically important forests in the U.S. and Canada, including the Canadian Boreal Forest—a global treasure, the last frontier of northern forest wilderness. Very bad.”

It is important to create a believe, and what is right is right, nature must come first, we need it, to have balanced temperatures, cool breez-es an a nice shadow to rest under it. Think about it !

Help us help Nature and the world!

Relaxing in Winter Park-Florida

Winter Park is a very welcoming town near Orlando and has the per-fect balance. Sunday Market on the streets, Art Fairs, Rollins College, boat tour on the lakes and also a small area where you can swim and relax with your family.

ICONS:

A Solo Exhibition by Mexican Oil Painter Carlos Oviedo at JAI GALLERY

On View June 6 – June 27, 2014

Vernissage: June 6, 2014 from 7-9pm

Please RSVP to Director: coralie@jaigallery.net | 407.921.0693

Carlos Oviedo

By Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon

CARLOS OVIEDO is a master paint-er born in Mexico in 1970 and is best known for his highly skilled oil paint-ings demonstrating perfection in realism.

Oviedo started painting as a child. He studied Graphic Design at the Univer-sidad de las Américas, Puebla (Mexi-co) and went on to study Contempo-rary Art and the work of the Great Masters in the USA, where he found the motivation and encouragement to pursue his talent and further devel-op his technique. After many labor-ing years of practice, Oviedo’s work has reached excellence and bears the mark of true mastery.

The 13 pieces included in this exhibi-tion are all drawn from Oviedo’s 361° series. In speaking about his work, Oviedo explains: “360° completes a circle. 361° is an art journey”: the re-sult of the artist’s analysis and explo-ration of the techniques he once set out to master.

While Oviedo’s grid-based paintings are inspired by Piet Mondrian’s 1930s geometricCompositions, his work most certainly harkens back to Pop Art, with its bold colors, graphic lines and imagery reminiscent of Warhol. Due to its core graphic properties the results are eye-catching.

Exploring the limits of realistic repre-sentation, Oviedo’s 361° series is an artistic discourse on the irony of the processed image in a world of duplica-tion, retouching and photoshopping; and in a North American Art Market saturated with Warholian prints. Yet Oviedo’s technique also brings an in-teresting and important twist: the in-troduction of a most noble and notori-

ously difficult medium: Oil Painting.

He uses Old Master Ingres’ “Grisaille” technique (oil painting in shades of grey) in order to achieve a high de-gree of Realism, recalling the look of vintage Sepia photography. A return to a classic technique pushed to the highest degree of perfection, Oviedo’s paintings are delicate masterful orig-inals.

Conceptually his work can be de-scribed as a study of social icons and celebrity culture. It is an exploration of icons so powerful yet so fragile at the same time. The fragility of these idols in popular culture is represented here in many ways. Elvis is shattered like a mirror.

Michael Jackson bathes in the balmy light of his tender years. Forever young. Johnny Depp and Kate Moss have many facets: some hidden, some exposed, some fake and some real, some implied and some imagined.

Oviedo’s lines create shapes that break up the image in pieces, which be-come reflectors of these social icons. These reflectors recall the media sur-rounding celebrities, the paparazzi, the flashes, the photos by the million. They also challenge the representa-tion of self and identity of celebrities, and the many public faces they bear. Marilyn seems to be asking “Am I real? Is this one more of me?”.Oviedo’s work is included in import-ant collections across the globe, in-cluding the USA,

Greece, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico, and many more countries in Latin America. He is represented in Central Florida by Jai Gallery. C

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT – AUGUST 5, 2014ORLANDO TO JOIN CITIES NATIONWIDE FOR ‘AMERICA’S NIGHT OUT AGAINST CRIME’

The AMP Group, showed their support to Mayor Teresa Jacobs's re-election, and mobilized the community to a fundraiser at one of their developments the Orlando Crossings Mall and attracted several members of the Brazilian Community, authorities and public figures. Photos By Anderson Barreto

Mayor Teresa has been a great supporter of the Bra-zilian Community, and also a key figure in bring-ing to Orlando the attention of new developers, and businesses, generating new jobs and helping the economy. The many sectors of Orange County administration have been considered the top in the Country and that is not an easy task to achieve. This year alone a delegation of Brazilian government representatives, visited Orlando in order to learn about Orange County Emergency Services, consid-ered the first in the world, and take to the capitalBrasilia, the top lessons they have learned.

Mayor Teresa is a leader, that knows what Orange County needs, she has many years of experience, and carries her job with grace, enthusiasm and op-timism. The AMP Group knows, as they were con-sidered one of the fastest growing companies in Or-lando in 2013, what

Orlando needs. The support to Mayor Teresa Jacobs re-election is just a consequence of her successful administration.

Present at the event were the organizers, Pablo Rosenberg, Alejandro Pezzini, Anderson Barreto, Tony Andrade, Mayor Teresa Jacobs, Orange County Authorities, City Commissioner Samuel B. Ings, his wife June Ings and many guests. We wish Mayor Teresa all the success and hope for her victory.

Community & MusicWhat else can we ask for ? A night among friends and the pleasure of listening to great talents. Antonio Escapa - piano and Jo Cavaignac - Sax.

All this at the Boheme Bar and Jazz Lounge accompanied by talented musi-cians, relaxing music, and rich conversation .In a mix of jazz and Bossa Nova, one great surprise after the other, desafinado, Garota de Ipanema, many great songs that set the tone in this beautiful ambiance.

The Grand Bohemian Hotel located in Downtown Orlando, is a trade mark of luxury, comfort, reuniting arts, great cuisine, and tradition. The night at the Boheme was a memorable moment that we look forward to ex-perience many times more. Brazilian Jazz is the best company for a Saturday night, in a place away from the craziness everyone offers, setting a mood of sophistication, that only the Boheme can offer.

At the piano Antonio Escapa, gave all a great performance, showing his Unde-niable talent, Joaquim Cavaignac, on the Sax made us all proud and extremely happy to be present to such an excellent musical presentation.

Jo Cavignac as everyone knows is the CEO at Superstation Media in Miami , with a great passion for music, and dedicates his spare time to learn and prac-tice every day, he considers himself still a beginner but what we saw at the show, already shows signs of a great talent, it was just perfectly tuned a beautiful harmonic conversation among talented musicians.

For the Forro' fans, it was great ! For those who appreciate the Brazilian June festivities, even better!

I am a believer that regardless how old you are, to reminisce and bring back good old habits is a great thing. You should not live in the past, but revive the greatest things about it, will always bring a warm feeling to the heart.

Brazilianity a nonexistent word, is the closest thing to "the art of being Brazilian". Not everyone knows it, and it must be exercised with caution. Exaggeration may ruin the idea.

Brazil has a rich yearly calendar New Years Day celebration of music and dance everywhere, February is Carnaval, June and July several parties to celebrate São João , the saint that arranges marriages.

These gatherings are celebrated in schools, communities, city halls, with typical food, dances, games and costumes, an amazing treat to all.

September is Independence Celebration, October is Children's Day also a very religious celebration due to Saints Cosme e Damião, twin brothers still young, canonized by the Catholic Church and respected by many followers of the Catholicism, and Halloween-Dia das Bruxas.

November is Flag Day. Republic proclamation Day, and Thanksgiving, recently adopted due to the American influ-ence, as well as Halloween. All this plus soccer, summer, and the habitual partying on weekends. We Brazilians are very special and happy by nature, nothing can compare to us.

When Master Nilson Dizeu decided to do a Forro' event we all knew it was going to be great! Everyone was dancing, and eating all specialty food! Hmmmmmmm! Great Night Every-one ! Now let's check the pictures!

FOR ALL = FORRÓ

What's good Orlando. This month I'm super excited to share what I have been learning over the past month. I've been doing music for 30 years and the toughest thing for me was adjusting to the way business is handled in today's world.

South Coast Records was built on family and friends that did music and it kind of grew from there, so we hired a company to legalize our company and signing of of our artist to record deals. I'm telling you this because as Indie artist there is so much that we need to learn about the business side of our craft. Out of all the different people needed to support an artist, it seems that the artist is the last one to monetize on their efforts.

The producer, dj, musicians, graphics, marketing people, stu-dio engineer and everyone else tied to the artist gets paid except the artist. In order to monetize it's important that you start off by recording on music that you can sell. STOP MAKING MIX-TAPES, you make no money from that, stop doing free shows, have merchandise to sell at your shows, own your masters so you can seek out publishing for your work in TV and movies.

Your career cost money and a lot of it, make sure you brand yourself properly so you can live of your music. Owning your masters, let's talk about that. You should always fill out a split sheet when you record to assign ownership and you need to be with BMI or ASCAP for publishing. There are a lot of ways to monetize your business but you have to approach your music as a business.

Take time to watch YouTube tutorial videos on what I'm telling you so you can better educate yourself on how to do things right. Until next time, I would like to thank each one of you for tak-ing the time to read my thoughts. Real Talk, Real Music, South Coast Records (SCR) Th

The decision to come to America is many times made based in dreams and like every decision we make, sometimes it can bring many surprises. Being an immigrant is not easy, you come to a different land, language, costumes and culture, it is like waking up like Dorothy in the movie The Wizzard of OZ.

You may even find yourself saying the same line, “there is no place like home” but soon enough, you will find your way around and realize, you are what you are, no matter where, you have your qualities, and your dreams are far more important than just give up.

Being an immi-grant is basically the same, some are more prepared than others, go through the same stages of adaptation, but at the end we hurt the same, only the outcome of our stories are different. Every single person that makes the decision to live in another country, has a sto-ry to tell. Some are still here, some are long

gone, and others are just getting to see their dreams come true.Today we will look into Magda Arana, 40, born in Bahia but raised in Espirito Santo.

Magda lived a long time in Europe, in Lon-don and Paris where she worked in restau-rants, until she decided to come to America

to live. She has been here now for 6 years in Newark NY and living right in the heart of one of the biggest-Brazilian com-munities in the country

When we ask her about her story she says “I don’t have much to tell, as all immigrants I worked in many places but I start-ed my life here as an esthetician,

and one day I found myself unemployed.

I thought about going back to Brazil but didn’t want to because I really liked living here, so I started making cakes and sweets at home for friends and it started working out.

The success in the social media where I show pic-tures of my work started spreading, and I started getting requests from many people that wanted to learn with me. I am teaching what I do .

Peolple ask to learn the cakes I make and students are coming from everywhere, they come from as far as Philadelphia, Long Island, Hamptons, Long Branch and many others places.”

Magda Arana is an example, she works hard, se-rious, and she learned to recognize that every step

ahead was easier as she grew as a person and as a business woman. She is a serious professional admired by many, and we are proud of her. We hope her Cafe opens soon, and that she contin-ues teaching the many people she inspires. A true Master alwaysinspires others to learn,leaving behind a legacy,and perpetuation of his work.

Obrigada, thank you for sharing your storyBy Laiz Rodrigues

I started doing acarajé and was then known as Maggie Acarajé. Posted on a social network that I was selling, and since then I never stopped, it has been two great years! I never stop.

I use quality ingredi-ents, have recipes from my grandma and my mom, I also modified the recipes sometimes to adapt to different cli-ents and many of them whom I created myself, (I love talking about it lol)

Well, majority of my clients are Brazilian, but I also have Amer-ican, Portuguese, Afri-cans and even Hispanic clients, because I try to do everything in a way everyone likes, I believe it is working out.

I did some short courses and enrolled in a large NY school, but unfor-tunately I had to stop my classes because I could not afford it, but I work hard and by the end of the year I intend to open my Cafe Acara-je da Maggie.

The Orlando Lions Facebook fan page in Brazil has already reached 711.000 Likes, with fans overseas longing to be here and be a part of the revolution. We are also hearing that many soccer stars are coming to town, rumors of Robinho, Kaka’ and these are just some of the names that may come to play in Orlando. Imagine the consequences! It will be amazing!

Soccer is part of Brazilian Culture it is a part of every Brazilian life in many ways, and the Orlando City Soccer has given us the opportunity to feel at home at the games, it has been a great Journey since the beginning and we are glad to be a part of it. The orange bowl is under reconstruction and will be ready to host the games in 2015 until the new stadium gets ready in 2016. The MLS is here, the team is getting ready, and it is here to stay.

ORLANDO CITY X SAO PAULO FC

Orlando City SC announced today it will host another high-profile international friendly this year, with the Lions set to face Brazilian su-per-club Sao Paulo F.C. on Friday, June 20 at ESPN Wide World of Sports. Tickets are cur-rently available for purchase via Ticketmas-ter. The kick-off time will be announced at a later date.

“These types of matches are fantastic op-portunities for both our players and fans to gauge our Club against some of the top com-petition in the world,” said Orlando City Pres-ident Phil Rawlins. “As a Club, we have always embraced playing top international teams – and I expect the match versus Sao Paulo to be another great moment in our Club’s short history.”

Founded in 1935, Sao Paulo F.C. is one of the most successful teams in South America, having won numerous championships -- in-cluding 21 state titles, six Brasileirao titles, and three Libertadores Cups- the most presti-gious international club football competition in South America.

Along with its success do-mestically, Sao Paulo has also done incredibly well on the international stage, win-ning three Club World Cups: two Intercontinental Cups, after defeating FC Barcelo-na and AC Milan, and one FIFA Club World Cup title af-ter a 1-0 win over Liverpool in 2005.

Playing in the highest league in Brazil, Sao Paulo is one of five clubs to have never been relegated from the Brasileirao. Known as ‘Tri-color’ for the prominent three stripes on its jersey, Sao Paulo has also produced numer-ous Brazilian National Team players over the years, including Kaka and Rai and Leonardo, who both played in clubs in Europe and were champions of on the FIFA World Cup 1994.

Barring injury, star players Luis Fabiano, Rogerio Ceni and Pato are anticipated to be available for selection when SPFC travels to Orlando in June.

For Orlando City, the friendly will prove to be another viable test to gage how well the Li-ons can match up against some of the premier players in the game as the club continues to prepare for Major League Soccer (MLS) entry in 2015. In the past three years, Orlando has gone toe-to-toe with some of the biggest sides in the world, such as Bolton Wanderers, New-castle United, Stoke City, Fluminense and AS Roma.

ORLANDO MAGIC GIVES AN ASSIST TO THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE

By John Denton, OrlandoMagic.com

Her 15-year-old daughter, Taylor, finally comfortable and resting following a busy morning at Florida Hospital, Tracy Narder was able to retreat to the comfort and soli-tude of the Ronald McDonald House a short shuttle ride away at noon on Thursday.

And to ensure that her break from the hustle and bustle of the hospital was more filling and enjoyable, a dozen staffers from the Orlando Magic were on hand to provide a home-cooked lunch for Narder and the rest of the inhabitants at the Ronald McDonald House.

“In the midst of a horrible experience what the people at the Ronald McDonald House provide is a wonderful experience,” Narder said as her face filled with color and her voice wavered as she fought back tears. “The people at the Ronald McDonald House have helped me so much and I can never thank them enough.”

Tabbed as “the house that love built,” the Ronald McDon-ald House is a home away from home for parents and families of critically ill children staying at Florida Hospi-tal. The three-story home has 22 rooms with private bath-rooms, a dining area, playroom and living room and laun-dry area. Guests are often given comfort kits (bath towels, hand towels, slippers, candies, gum and sunscreen) and toiletry kits (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap, tooth brushes, toothpaste, razors and shaving cream) to provide some of the necessities of home.

Currently, the Ronald McDonald House is home to 37 people who have children getting treatments and care at Florida Hospital. The goal is to reduce some of the stress and relieve a portion of the financial burden that comes with having a family member in the hospital for an ex-tended stay. According to a study recently published in Families, Systems, and Health, a journal of the American Psychological Association, families who stayed at a Ron-ald McDonald House believe that being nearby helped their child recover and shortened their time in the hospi-tal.

“By the time that families get to us they are often exhaust-ed in every sense of the word – physically, emotionally and a lot of times financially too depending the diagnosis and the medical bills that are mounting – so it’s huge for them to come over here and have a place that they can stay,” said Meredith Bekemeyer, development manager for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida.

“We’ve got a motto with the Magic that we want to be World Champions on and off the court, and this is the off-the-court stuff that makes a difference even though a lot of people don’t see it,” Outlaw continued.

“The people who are here understand how important this is and when you see them later and they tell you thank you, you know that’s what it’s all about. It’s just a couple of hours out of our day, but it brings great joy to peo-ple’s lives and that’s what it’s all about.’’As for Narder, she has been able to realize the benefits of the Ronald McDonald House Charities in both Orlando and St. Petersburg because of her daughter’s repeated hospital stays.

Taylor suffers from Anorexia Ner-vosa and a heart condition. Because of the nature of Taylor’s illnesses, she often has to be hospitalized for months at a time. Being able to es-cape to the Ronald McDonald House allows Tracy the opportunity to re-charge her batteries while remain-ing close to her daughter’s hospital.

“Sometimes you just need an escape and this is a great place to come to,’’ said Narder, a Tampa resident. “If Taylor needs me, I can be there in a minute and I love that. That’s the most comforting thing. If she wants me or she’s having a bad night she can’t call the nurse and say, ‘Hug me because I’m having a bad night.’ Now, it’s nice to be able to be there immediately for my daughter.”

In a few days we will be watching the opening game for the World Cup 2014 in Brazil.

Maracanã will host several games but the final game, the one everyone expects will be the one to overturn what happened in 1950.

Nobody can predict what is to come, but we can hope, and wish and dream that we will finally put this behind us.

Here is the Maracanã , in its latest form.

As we come close to the greatest sports event in the world, Brazilians still are taken by the doom of protest-ing. What happen Brazil? Should we make the best of it and change the Bra-zilian image around? Everyone in the world expects Brazilians to be happy and enthusiasts of their soccer. Will this image of discontent change the image of Brazil to the world? What is next?

In a few days the biggest Sports event in the world starts. For the majority Brazilians, soccer is like a religion, where they exercise their faith, love for the country and throw all the en-ergy they can in the most crucial 90 minutes. It is very hard to overcome obstacles like the ones Brazilian have right now, as it is almost impossible to forget that they have lost the World Cup of 1950 at home, a moment that destroyed their faith in the team and in themselves for years, until the World Cup of 1970 when they regain it be-cause of the TRI-Championship.

It was and is a great obstacle. Added to the fear of history repeating itself, Brazil faces many structural problems, where the government has not prov-en to come across with solutions, and calm the population. Brazil is right now a teenager making demands and over-using the right to rebel, forgetting the big picture.

There is no doubt about the grandi-osity of the event, the protesting has been going on for months, showed no

effect, the economy, the government fraud investigations, the new laws and the Presidential election are just a few factors that are causing this great cloud over the event.

Every measure taken seems to have been delayed for too long, and it shows a last minute concern from all, and everyone is forgetting one thing. Soccer is a game from the people to the people, it is all to the ones that work hard, everywhere to come to the games, and exorcise their demons. They yell, sweat and cry showing who is the real hero.

The World Cup show should be for them! The people!

Brazil needs to remember that, we nev-er fought a war, or got involved in one, we are peaceful, happy and proud. The giant must wake from the doom of an-ger and protest and shout for our team, for the glory, and show the world that no matter what we are one nation, that stands together, knows our failures but also our qualities. It is a breaking moment people ! Brazil needs to get together and play the game, show the world that regardless, we will be there for our boys, and deliver the best show ever seen.

Then at the end, wining or not, the peo-ple will be ready to demand again, go to the urns, vote, change things but will not regret missing this important moment.

Reflections about the Games

Every four years we celebrate the greatest game on Earth, Soc-cer. The World Soccer Cup is an amazing event filled with tons of expectation that added to the celebration causes a wave of emotion and great preparations. This year, Brazil seems to be a lit-tle weary of the idea of hosting the games, due to many political issues that should not be mixed with the sport, but here in the US we are getting ready.

Orlando is getting a double whammy due to the booming Tourist Season and preparing for the World Cup, but nothing stops this great city and great people. Brazilians in Orlando are ready. All major restaurants have a package available for the opening game event, decora-tions , food and Brazilian Team shirts ready to wear.

It is time to let it roll and this year we are blessed with 2 World Cup Divas, one from Orlan-do-Phoebe Vecchioni, and Pa-tricia Costa from Cocoa Beach. Two gorgeous representatives of the Brazilian Beauty in Central Florida !The picture on the left shows Phoebe Vechionni-Photo by Marty Vecchioni, showing how some of our great Brazilians in Orlando are in tune with the World Cup, and ready to party!

Supermodel Adriana Lima And Kia Motors America Turn Curious Onlookers Into "Futbol" Fanatics In Series Of Ads Celebrating The 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

"For One Month, Let's All be Futbol Fans" Campaign Fea-tures the Optima Midsize Sedan and Sorento CUV in Spots Set to Air on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.-Kia Motors is an Official Automotive Partner of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

-Kia will be the presenting sponsor of pre-match shows on ABC and ESPN.

The world's most popular sport will take center stage during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil(TM), and with

viewership expected to reach new heights, Kia Mo-tors America (KMA) is harnessing the energy and passion for the quadrennial event - and the star pow-er of supermodel Adriana Lima - for a dual-language marketing campaign titled "For One Month, Let's All beFútbol Fans." The initiative, which includes TV, print, digital, social, point-of-sale and radio compo-nents as well as Kia serving as the presenting spon-sor of pre-match shows on ABC and ESPN, marks the second time the brand and Lima have teamed up following her memorable role in 2012's "Drive the Dream" Super Bowl commercial.

In “For One Month, Let’s All be Fútbol Fans,” the 2015 Optima midsize sedan and Sorento CUV deliver Lima to a football field, a man cave and a local watering hole to whip non-soccer fans and gets them excited for the month-long World Cup. The three 30-second ads were created by David & Goliath and are available now for viewing at Kia.com/FIFA, and will make their broadcast debut when group play begins on June 12. Beyond the English- and Spanish-language versions of the spots, additional footage and content is avail-able at Kia.com, and campaign extensions include el-ements on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Goo-gle+ and Pinterest.

“Soccer’s popularity in the U.S. is growing rapid-ly and as Official Automotive Partner of the World Cup we have a unique platform to showcase two of Kia’s most popular vehicles to the sport’s passionate and diverse fan base across the country,” said Mi-chael Sprague, executive vice president of sales and marketing, KMA. “The reaction to Adriana Lima’s appearance in ‘Drive the Dream’ was overwhelming, and with the World Cup being staged in her home country of Brazil and her love for the game it was a natural fit to partner again and add a bit of glamour and humor to our ‘fútbol’campaign.”

Trident Gallery Presents: "Dennis Flavin: Figures" May 30 -- June 29Trident Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of figure paintings and drawings by Dennis Flavin. New and recent works on canvas and paper are displayed with earlier paintings illuminating Flavin's path from realism to abstraction into the uninhibited and con-fident expressive style which has earned him notice and acclaim.

After training at Vesper George School of Art and the Gloucester Academy of Fine Art, Flavin painted on Cape Ann for nearly four decades before his first public exhibition in 2012, which resulted in immedi-ate attention from curators: a solo exhibition at the Cape Ann Museum followed in 2013, and subsequent-ly his work has been shown at Trident Gallery.

In Flavin's best work from the 1980s and 1990s, strong colors and forms, gauzy layers, and nightmarish dis-tortions threaten to subdue realism. Flavin experi-enced a breakthrough in 2007 when he began to paint "completely from [his] mind, not looking at anything other than [his] canvas." The freedom was exhilarat-ing, and making art became an increasingly intense experience.

In this creative trance, Flavin and his creation mutually trans-form each other. Neither has independence, and there is no intermediating scene between the artist's creative engagement with memory, composition, col-or, and form, and his sensory en-gagement with the art surface.

"When you paint," says Flavin, "you have to have emotional feeling, you have to take risks... you can't hold back."

The new direction led Flavin at first into purely abstract paint-ings and then toward figure paintings possessing an exalt-ed energy and expressiveness which his foray into abstraction seems to have uncorked.

The signature of Flavin's evolv-ing style is a riotous abundance of color, which creates mean-ing and honors the subject by attesting with nuanced crafts-manship to its inner complexi-ty.

Likewise, there is more than sen-sual richness in Flavin's thickly layered oil and pastel medium, which corresponds to a history of evolving versions of the fig-ure, layers of experience that have built up a unique person-ality and work of art. ar

O universo colorido e fantasioso de “Clovis Loureiro”

“Sempre procurando mostrar aos nossos leitores novos talentos e técnicas nas artes descobrimos um artista que me surpreendeu pelo seu estilo e técnica aplicada em seus tra-balhos, seu nome é Clovis Loureiro.

Por Edmundo Cavalcanti

Clovis Marcio Caldeira Loureiro é con-hecido no meio artístico como Clovis Loureiro. Formado em Administração de Empresas e artista autodidata, na-sceu no Rio de Janeiro e aos 12 anos já morando em Ilhéus na Bahia começou seus primeiros traços a lápis, incen-tivado porsua avó materna.

Sua arte foi fortemente influenciada pela paixão e vivência junto à natureza, trans-formando a realidade em fantasia ob-servando com o olhar atento às ár-vores, pássaros, borboletas, peixes e todo o mundo circundante.

Clovis nos disse que foi tentando transferir toda esta beleza para os seus desenhos em nanquim que de-pois evoluíram para a pintura em pa-pel e depois para tela em acrílico. Um universo “Colorido e Fantasioso” em formas geométricas.

Em suas obras, retrata com movimen-to e magia a brasilidade das cores quentes vibrantes assim como as for-mas geométricas procurando sempre o infinito das formas e a combinação das cores, a marca registrada de seu trabalho.

A arte foi por muito tempo só um hob-by que aos poucos foi se transforman-do em profissão. Hoje é um pintor conhecido e tem par-ticipado de exposições no Brasil e no exterior, e seu trabalho começa a gan-har destaque internacional.

Principais Exposições:

“Minha maior alegria e satisfação é saber que consigo trans-mitir a felicidade que minha alma capta-va desde a infância através da natureza transformando em realidade meus son-hos.” Disse Clovis .

Fiquei muito curioso sobre seus trabalhos e perguntei sobre sua técnica:

Clovis: Minha técni-ca é muito simples, trabalho com tinta acrílica e nanquim em tela e papel, executo meus trabalhos com lápis, preencho com tinta acrílica, faço os contornos e dou aca-bamento com a uti-lização de uma lupa, para melhor visual-ização dos detalhes.

Clovis Boiler Marcio Loureiro known in the ar-tistic circles as Clovis Loureiro, is a in Busi-ness Administration by trade and also a self-taught artist, by intuition and imagination. Born in Rio de Janeiro at age 12 was already living in Ilheus - Bahia where hebegan his first sketches in pencil, with his his grandmother’s support.

He also visited the USA when he was a child , he came to Kissimmee Florida and as he says himself, he had so many great moments here that he never forgot it.

His art was strongly influenced by passion and also for his closeness to nature, transforming reality into fantasy. Always watching nature with an attentive look at trees,birds, butterflies, fishes and the sur-rounding world.

Clovis told us that his drawings were an attemptive to transfer all the beauty he saw to paper and later it progressed to painting in acrylic on paper and canvas. A universe of Colourful geometric shapes.

His work, portrays movement and magic with warm colors and always looking for the in-finite geometric shapes and combination of colors, the greatest differential of this work.

The art which has for long been just a hobby was gradually turning into a profession.

Today he is a known as an emergent painter and has participated in exhibitions in Brazil and abroad in Geneva - Switzerland where his art begins to gain international prominence.

"My greatest joy and satisfaction is knowing that I can transfer through my work, the hap-piness captured by my spirit since my child-hood, turning my dreams into reality.

I was very courious about his work and asked about his technique:Clovis expalined: Mtechnique is very simple, working with acrylic paint and ink on canvas and paper, I start my work with pen-cil, fill with acrylic paint, do the outlines and I finish using the help of a magnifying glass to better view the details.

Fashion Icon Kate Moss Stars in New Kerastase Paris Bombshell Luxe CampaignSupermodel and style icon Kate Moss stars in the new Kerastase Paris image campaign featuring the brand's latest Couture Styling offerings. This impactful campaign marks the one year anniversary of Couture Styling, the brand's luxury styling collection.

According to Moss, "just with hairstyles I can change my personality, I don't really need to change the color anymore." The Couture Styling Collection continues to expand its portfolio to give Moss and women worldwide the tools to cre-ate endless looks and express personal style.

Inspired by the "perfectly imperfect" look so sought-after by women today, Kerastase's newest Couture Styling products re-invent highly sophis-ticated "un-styled styles" reminiscent of Brigitte Bardot's untamed mane or the flowing waves of the Studio 54 era.

For the shoot, Kate's hair was styled by Kerastase Artistic Director, famed hairdresser and close per-sonal friend, Luigi Murenu. "The Brigitte Bardot "mussed-up" 60's look is both quintessentially French and completely uni-versal. Kate Moss is the Bri-gitte Bardot of today," says Murenu. "She epitomizes the freedom that every woman wants." The campaign was photographed by Solve Sund-bo in Paris.

For 2014, Kerastase Cou-ture Styling celebrates time-less beauty in all its diversity once again, thanks to a pro-fusion of high-performance advances in both lasting hold and hairstyling creativity.The newest Couture Styling products, including Laque

Noire, a micro-diffusion finishing spray, V.I.P., a texturizing spray and Baume Double Je, an ex-tra workable defining balm, will be begin to roll out in Kerastase Consultant salons and on the brand's website nationwide this summer. The Image Campaign will debut in summer 2014 in the USA.

Couture Watch and Jewelry Show 2014 By Patricia Costa

Ferragamo debuts 2014 collection at upscale event, including the women's distinctive Buckle series and the sophis-ticated men's 1898 Sport Collection

The prestigious Couture watch and jew-elry show has been the destination of choice for the luxury industry's leading designers, retailers, and manufacturers for over 17 years. This year, attendees and exhibitors were in agreement that the recently concluded Couture 2014, which took place from May 28 thru June 2 at the prestigious Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, was the best Couture show ever.

Couture has always been an essential destination for Ferragamo Watches. The well-attended show is the perfect place to connect with Ferragamo's sophisti-cated, upscale audience. "Meeting with our clients in the elegance of our new-ly designed space has been a supremely comfortable and luxurious experience," says Paul Ziff, President of Ferragamo Timepieces. "The overwhelmingly pos-itive and enthusiastic response to our 2014 collection, particularly for the new Buckle series and 1898 Sport line, has confirmed our very aggressive growth plans for this year and beyond," adds Ziff.

It's easy to see why Couture attendees were excited about the new Ferragamo Buckle. This amazing 37 mm women's watch is a work of art. Taking its name from a stylized buckle shaped case that

was derived from the iconic Ferragamo Gancino, this beautiful cloche shaped timepiece mimics the distinctive design of Ferragamo's new Buckle Collection eyewear. With its elegant asymmetrical guilloche dial and offset winding crown, the stylish Buckle Collection was an in-stant hit with fashion forward show at-tendees.

Ferragamo made sure there was some-thing for everyone at Couture 2014. What the Buckle Collection offered for the women, the equally exciting new 43 mm Ferragamo 1898 Sport Collection provided for the men. This sophisticat-ed update of the classic diver wristwatch brings Ferragamo's unique sophistica-tion and style to one of horology's most popular and enduring styles. This diving watch not only sets new standards for el-egance and craftsmanship, it also func-tions as an ultra-dependable precision tool that is water resistant to an impres-sive 660 feet.

The Couture show is over for another year, but Ferragamo Timepieces will be back again next year. Since relaxed luxu-ry is what Ferragamo is all about, it is no surprise that orders were brisk for both Ferragamo favorites and this year's new collections. Couture and Ferragamo were clearly made for each other.

2014

From R&B superstar Janelle Monae's spectacular opening night concert to Saturday night's pres-tigious Couture Design Awards, Couture 2014 was a resounding success for two of the world's top fashion brands. Versus and Versace had their best year ever at the well-attended annual watch and jewelry show, held this year from May 28 thru June 2 at the prestigious Wynn Hotel in Las Ve-gas.

Appealing to their young hip audience, Versus Watches put the focus on South Florida’s youth-ful vitality and excitement at their spectacular new booth located in the Wynn Hotel’s ALSACE 1 Ballroom. There was plenty of buzz about this year’s introduction of exciting new Versus Watch Collections celebrating South Florida’s sophis-ticated international style. “Orders were brisk for these hot, sexy new models,” says Kari Allen, President of Versace Timepieces for the USA and Caribbean. “Our new Key Biscane and Coconut Grove Collections are exactly what today’s young trend setters are looking for, and we couldn’t have been more pleased at how well they were received by retailers, manufacturers, and the fashion press.”

The well-attended Couture Show has become an essential destination for influential luxury buyers and retail-ers, which is exactly why the Versace Watch booth has always been one of the most popular destinations for attendees. “To many in the luxury industry, the words Versace and lux-ury have become synonymous,” says Kari Allen. “Few things define the al-lure of a luxurious timepiece better

than Versace,” she adds. This year, two new fash-ion forward Versace creations made their Cou-ture debut. The spectacular Versace Day Glam provided a fresh new interpretation of the clas-sic sports chronograph for the ladies, while the sophisticated Urban Gent wowed the gentlemen with its understated, elegant, all mechanical de-sign.

“Couture is like no other place on earth,” says Al-len. “For a few days every spring, this is where trends are defined and decisions are validated.” The annual watch and jewelry show is always over far too quickly, but the lessons learned here are seldom forgotten. For Versus and Versace watch-es, the enthusiastic response from Couture 2014 attendees provided an exciting preview of the year ahead. The demand for both of these fash-ion forward brands was unprecedented. If the or-der books are any indication, there will be a lot more Versus and Versace watches on fashionable wrists later this year.Gevril Group is the sole US and Caribbean agent for Versus and Versace Watches.

Smirnoff® lança nova vodca pioneira exclusivamente para viajantes: a Smirnoff White™Filtrada gelada a -6°C para um sabor excepcionalmente suave

Uma nova vodca pioneira superpremi-um, a SMIRNOFF WHITE™, disponível exclusivamente para viajantes.

O líquido foi filtrado gelado a -6°C, o que resulta em um sabor excepciona-lmente suave. A filtragem gelada sig-nifica uma revolução contínua no pro-cesso de destilação da SMIRNOFF -- a vodca é resfriada abaixo do ponto de congelamento e passada em filtros de carvão modernos, resultando em uma vodca excepcionalmente suave.

A vodca SMIRNOFF WHITE é inspira-da na natureza inovadora e no espírito inventivo do pai fundador, Vladimir Smirnoff, que estava determinado a sa-cudir o mundo da vodca em sua busca pela perfeição. Nem a nacionalização de sua bem-sucedida empresa de vodca, nem a revolução que forçou a ele e sua família a deixar a Rússia o fez desistir de seu compromisso com a inovação. Ele reconstruiu sua empresa, fundada em princípios pioneiros, que, hoje, in-spira a marca e a criação da SMIRNOFF WHITE.

A SMIRNOFF se adaptou e evoluiu continuamente, disparando uma rev-olução de coquetéis nos anos 50 e, em consequência, entusiastas incluíram ícones de Hollywood.

Os viajantes globais devem procurar pelos anúncios especiais da SMIRN-OFF WHITE nos aeroportos de todo o mundo, onde eles podem provar a vodca incrivelmente suave e comprar uma garrafa para levar para casa. A

extraordinária, nítida garrafa bran-ca da SMIRNOFF WHITE reflete as formações cristalinas encontradas no mais puro gelo ártico e destaca a qual-idade inconfundível dessa nova vodca. Uma base clara de vidro lapidado trans-forma-se em um acabamento bran-co, suave, ao se aproximar do gargalo da garrafa, onde aparece o logotipo da SMIRNOFF WHITE, como se gravado em um bloco de gelo sólido.

O diretor de Marketing Global da Di-ageo Global Travel and Middle East (GTME), Steve White, disse: "A SMIRN-OFF WHITE é uma vodca verdadeira-mente estimulante, que reflete o espíri-to pioneiro da Vladimir Smirnoff. O processo inovador de filtragem gelada garante um sabor excepcionalmente suave, que irá atrair viajantes de todo o mundo.

"Escolhemos as lojas "duty free" como os únicos pontos de venda mundiais da SMIRNOFF WHITE para recompen-sar os viajantes que buscam por ofer-tas únicas, a fim de engrandecer suas experiências e para servir como uma lembrança de suas viagens".

A melhor maneira de servir a SMIRN-OFF WHITE é pura ou com gelo, mas ela também pode ser desfrutada em seu coquetel favorito. A partir desta sema-na, a Smirnoff White será lançada em lojas "duty free" em todo o mundo, ex-clusivamente para viajantes, a um preço de varejo recomendado de £ 21,00 por 1 litro.

Smirnoff® Launches Pioneering New Vodka Exclusively for Travellers: Smirnoff White™

A pioneering new super-premium vodka - SMIRNOFF WHITE™ - available exclu-sively for travellers.

The liquid has been freeze filtered at -6°C which results in an exceptionally smooth taste. Freeze fil-tration signifies a continuing revolution in SMIRN-OFF'S distillation process - vodka is chilled to below freezing point and passed through state-of-the-art charcoal filters resulting in an exceptionally smooth vodka.

SMIRNOFF WHITE is inspired by the innovative nature and inventive spirit of founding father, Vlad-imir Smirnoff, who was determined to shake up the

world of vodka in his quest for perfection. Neither the nationalisation of his successful vodka business nor a revolution that forced him and his family to leave Russia made him waiver in his commitment to innovation. He rebuilt his business founded on pioneering principles which, today, have inspired the brand and the creation of SMIRNOFF WHITE.

SMIRNOFF has continuously adapted and evolved, kick-starting a cocktail revolution in the 1950s, as a result, aficionados have included Hollywood icons.Global travellers should look out for special SMIRN-OFF WHITE pop-ups in airports around the globe where they can sample the sensationally smooth vodka and purchase a bottle to take home.

The striking, crisp white bottle of SMIRN-OFF WHITE reflects the crystalline for-mations found in the purest arctic ice and highlights the distinctive quality of this new vodka. A clear cut-glass base trans-forms into a smooth, white finish towards the neck of the bottle where the SMIRN-OFF WHITE logo appears, as if etched into a block of solid ice.

Steve White, Global Marketing Director of Diageo Global Travel and Middle East (GTME), said: "SMIRNOFF WHITE is a truly exciting vodka which reflects the pi-oneering spirit of Vladimir Smirnoff. The innovative freeze filtration process guar-

antees an exceptionally smooth taste which will appeal to travellers the world over.

"We've chosen duty free as the sole global outlet for SMIRNOFF WHITE in order to reward travellers who seek unique offer-ings to enhance their experiences and to serve as a momento of their travels."

SMIRNOFF WHITE is best served neat or over ice, but can also be enjoyed as part of a favourite cocktail. From this week, Smirnoff White will be rolled out to duty free stores across the globe exclusively for travelers, at a recommended retail price of £21.00 for 1 litre.
