ABOUT US -ARTWHEN THE EYES SEE AND THE HEART FEELS

LINEU ZADERESKILineu Zadereski é artista plástico, escultor e designer gráfico, e re-conhecido como um dos mais no-vos representantes da cultura e arte brasileira nos Estados Unidos. Em busca de novas oportunidades e experiências, Zadereski que de-ixou a cidade de Curitiba com o intuito de estudar Inglês, percebeu na mesma oportunidade a chance de ir mais longe quando decidiu ingressar na faculdade. A arte e a comunicação visual transpuseram-se em meio as muitas opções de estudo como a melhor direção a sua carreira e a sua realização de vida.Em 2004 ao se formar na Middle-sex Community College em “Liber-al Arts” com o diploma de “associ-ate degrees” em designer gráfico, a carreira de Lineu ingressou em uma nova direção. O começo pro-fissional e as suas experiências com a realidade nem sempre se mostraram por completo a primei-ra vista, então era necessário se descobrir como um profissional da arte, e para isto o investimento foi necessário ao longo dos anos.Após muitos desenhos, e técnicas de arte como a xilografia, tilogra-vura, serigrafia e pintura a óleo, Lineu passou a utilizar o acrílico em suas telas, que melhor repre-sentam sua fase atual.

A arte gráfica, ou computador-izada influenciaram seu trabalho que atualmente é figurativo com marcas simétricas e balanceadas, arte esta salientada pelo cubismo e o abstrato composto de cores cha-mativas.Em 2011 Lineu foi convidado a ser o propulsor artístico do festival “Lowell Riverfest” (Festival do Rio) que acontece todos os anos na cidade de Lowell, e que na ocasião ostentou o tema; Culture Flows (fluir cultural), atribuído a rica di-versidade de povos representados na mesma . Alem de idealizador do símbolo do evento; um peixe com as características de seu es-tilo artístico, o mesmo elaborou todo o contexto gráfico na divul-gação do evento. Por fim Lineu realizou sua estréia como escultor ao reproduzir uma escultura tridi-mensional do peixe icone do acon-tecimento. Lineu contou com a participação de mais de 500 alunos das escolas publicas da região, que por sua vez representaram o peixe em 24 painéis, onde cada um hom-enageava um pais diferente.

“A honra de representar a diversi-dade étnica e a miscigenação cul-tural neste Festival através do meu trabalho, foi gratificante e inspira-dor, afima Zadereski ao comentar a experiência.Entre este e outros eventos o nome de Lineu recebeu destaque e recon-hecimento publico como um jovem e promissor talento brasileiro.Ao fim de 2011 homenageado com o premio Talento Brasil em Boston atribuído a sua contribuição a co-munidade brasileira nos Estados Unidos, Zadereski também recebeu a sua indicação ao Press Award 2012 na categoria artes visuais. Lineu que já trabalhou de floor cleaner, cozinheiro, dishwasher, gerente de recebimento, garçom, e outros, hoje alem de artista plástico e’ designer gráfico e’ instrutor de arte e design, e leciona para adolescentes com idades 15 a 22, em uma organização não governamental; a UTEC (United Teen Equality Center.)http://utec-lowell.org/.Organização esta que dedica-se ao sucesso sócio e econômico de jovens e adolescentes que buscam na insti-tuição a ajuda necessária para um novo “recomeçarAo retratar estas e outras histórias, que geraram alianças ao personali-zar a inspiração com os desafios e as conquistas, podemos prestigiar uma arte autentica e ao alcance da reali-

dade com a qual nos identificamos.Valores coloridos retratados nos quadros e nas vidas dos que partici-param direta e indiretamente desta alegoria.E’ a continuidade de um crescimento e aprimoramento que surgiu de ex-periências diárias e constantes, que ao longo dos anos revelaram disci-plina e dedicação em seu amadure-cimento. Mas esta janela se abrira ainda cedo com as influencias de consagrados artistas brasileiros como Cândido Portinary e Tarsila do Amaral que inspiraram e somaram-se as primeiras aulas de litogravura em um centro cultural de Curitiba chamado; Solar do Barão aos 10 anos de idade.Dentre as características e traços que identificamos em suas pinturas, notamos as formas geométricas, e de figuras sorridentes e otimistas. Mão e pé’ singular compõem o corpos complexos com o auxilio indutivo de um elemento tridimensional alme-jando centralizar o composto artísti-co. Outra característica marcante de seu trabalho são os olhos, sempre com um olho aberto e outro fechado e ao concluir cada quadro Lineu rep-resenta um “cinto”, onde sua assina-tura sela a obra ao fechar e envolver toda a arte.Para maiores informações acesse http://lineuarts.blogspot.com/

Lineu Zadereski is an artist, sculptor and graphic designer, and recognized as one of the youngest representatives of Brazilian art and culture in the United States. In search of new oppor-tunities and experiences, Zadereski who left the city of Curitiba in order to study English, saw the same oppor-tunity the chance to go further when he decided to enter college. The art and visual communication is imple-mented through the many options of study as the best direction to his ca-reer and his lifetime achievement.In 2004 after graduating from Middle-sex Community College on "Liberal Arts" with the diploma of "associate degrees" in a graphic designer, Lin-eus's career entered a new direction. The early work and their experiences with the reality does not always shown in full at first sight, so it was necessary to find out how a work of art, and for this investment was needed over the years.After many designs and art techniques such as xilographie, tilogravura, serig-raphy and oil painting, Lineu began using acrylic in his paintings that best represent its current phase.The graphic art work, or computer work that he uses in his work is cur-rently figurative marks with symmet-

rical and balanced, his art is highlight-ed by cubism and abstract composed of bright colors.In 2011 Lineu was invited to be the propeller of the art festival at "Lowell Riverfest" (River Festival) which takes place every year in the City of Low-ell, and that at the time sported the theme; Culture Flows (flow culture), given the rich diversity represented by the same people. Besides the creator of the symbol of the event, a fish with the features of his artistic style, it has produced all the graphics context in publicizing the event. Finally Lineu made his debut as a sculptor to repro-duce three-dimensional sculpture of the fish icon of the event. Lineu was attended by over 500 students from public schools in the region, which in turn accounted for the fish in 24 panels, where each one named after a different country. "The honor of rep-resenting the diverse ethnic and cul-tural mix in the festival through the my work was rewarding and inspiring, afirma Zadereski commenting about the experience.Between this and other events the name of Lineu received prominence and public recognition as a promising young Brazilian talent.

Lineu Zadereski

At the end of 2011 honored with the prize Talent Brazil in Boston attrib-uted to its contribution to the Brazil-ian community in the United States, Zadereski also received his appoint-ment to the 2012 Press Award in the category Visual Arts. Lineu who has worked as an floor cleaner, cook, dishwasher, reception manager, waiter, and others today in addition to artist and 'graphic designer' art and design instructor he teaches for teenagers aged 15-22, in a non-gov-ernmental organization, the UTEC (United Teen Equality Center.) http://utec-lowell.org/.Organization that is dedicated to social and economic success of youth and adolescents in the institution seeking the help you need for a new "start".By portraying these and other sto-ries, which led to alliances with the inspiration to customize the chal-lenges and achievements, we can honor an authentic art and the scope of reality with which we identify.Values depicted in colorful pictures and the lives of those who partici-pated directly and indirectly in this allegory.It is the continuing growth and im-provement that emerged from daily experiences and constants, which over the years have shown discipline

and dedication in their maturation. But this window was opened earlier with the influences of established artists such as Brazilian Candido Portinary and Tarsila do Amaral who inspired and were added to the first classes of lithography into a cul-tural center in Curitiba called Solar do Barao at age 10 .Among the characteristics and traits we have identified in his paintings, we see geometric shapes, smiling fig-ures and optimistic. Hand and foot an natural make up of the complex bodies with the help of an inductive three-dimensional element targeting the compound artistic center. Anoth-er striking feature of his work are his eyes, always with one eye open and one closed and each picture complete Lineu represents a "belt", where your signature seal the work to close and engage the whole art.For more information visit http://lineuarts.blogspot.com/

MARTA CERQUEIRA

Marta Cerqueira- DREAMS IN PAPER.Marta is an artist with a deep imagination,her work shows how high she can go, and for sure flies higher and faster than she can realize.The many talents she has are deeply tuned to her route in life.Born in Brazil, in João Pessoa, as a little girl she developed a passion for colors. Marriage, children and religion, took her to different Countries and also to the need of express herself. Oil painting at first, then watercolors, silhouettes, and later paper sculpture her latest find. It seems like the infinite possibilities on a white sheet of paper, works as a trigger to her inclination to cutting, constructing and creating beauty out of nothing. Gifted like artists all arebut still getting to learn more intimacy with her own creative process and fast developing and growing her wings. With true attention to detail, the dreams of a little girl are clear transpiring through her dolls,beautiful work allowing anyone to dream just by looking at them. They are luxurious, constructed by dif-ferent materials, pieces of a dream that comes true after they are meticulously dressed and completed . Marta is an artist with a big heart, and Faith, and a real connection to her child sidewhat makes it possible to do her art so well. Maybe if we all still had a little more of childhood in us we could have a better world, filled with more imagination and love.

A arte de Marta CerqueiraMarta é uma artista com uma imaginação profunda, seu trabalho mostra o quão alto ela pode chegar, e com certeza voa mais alto e mais rápido do que ela mesma pode realizar.Os muitos talentos que ela tem são profundamente sintonizados com seu percurso na vida, seus estudos, fe’ e sua familia.Nascida no Brasil, em João Pessoa, como uma menina, ela desenvolveu uma paixão por cores. Casamento, filhos e religião, a levou por diversos países e também ate a necessidade de se expressar atraves da arte. Pintura a óleo em primeiro lugar, aquarelas, em seguida,silhuetas, e construção com papel a sua mais recente descoberta.Parece que as infinitas possibilidades em uma folha de papel, funcio-nam como um gatilho para a sua inclinação para o corte, construção e criação da beleza a partir do nada. Armada de um dom como todos os artistas, tem intimidade com seu próprio processo criativo e rapidamente esta progredindo .Com verdadeira atenção ao detalhe, os sonhos de uma menina são claras,transpirando através de suas bonecas construídas no papel, per-mitindo-a realizar um lindo sonho de inocência.Elas são de luxo, construídas de materiais diferentes, pedaços de um sonho que se torna realidade depois que elas são meticulosamente vesti-das e concluídas. Marta é uma artista com um grande coração, e com uma conexão real com o seu lado criança o que torna possível fazer a sua arte tão bem. Talvez se todos nós ainda dessemos importância ao nosso lado infantil poderíamos ter um mundo melhor, com mais imaginação e amor.Visitem o website www.martacerqueira.com

Orlando-based Company,“GotChosen” Launched the Largest Single Private National ScholarshipInitiative Ever Seen in the United StatesOn May 1st, GotChosen, Inc., an innovative digital media and devel-opment company headquartered in Orlando, FL, launched the larg-est scholarship drawing in the na-tion “GotScholarship:$40k to Give Away!” drawing. There is no cost to participate, and the company will award $40K away to one winner with a dream of attending college, or to pay for existing college loans. The scholarship may also be transferred by the winner to anyone of any age to pay for actual educational expenses.The concept for the company was conceived during the economic struggles of 2008 by Founder and CEO, Osvaldo Silva. Silva’s focus was to assist anyone with the desire of completing their degree in higher education, but who did not have the financial means to do so. Silva’s

philanthropic interest developed the first phase of the corporate vision beginning with the GotScholarship: $40k to Give Away drawing - the first scholarship drawing of its kind. The program will instantly establish GotChosen’s primary mission of as-sisting individuals and families to achieve their educational potential and life aspirations, and to introduce the company on a large national scale. Subsequent drawings will en-large the scope of the company’s en-deavors, but will remain focused on the college market.“An essential element of the core values of GotChosen is a deep-root-ed need and desire to give back,” said Silva. “Our team is eager to witness the wonderful things that will be done by the recipients, and to how this scholarship will change their futures. We hope that our donation to their dreams was the difference that made it all possible.”The amount of student loans ac-quired in 2011 crossed the $100 bil-lion mark for the first time in his-tory, and total loans outstanding will exceed $1 trillion for the first time this year. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the U.S. Department of Education, and private sources report that Americans now owe more on student loans than on credit cards.

Moreover, as the cost of higher edu-cation spirals ever higher, the traditional channels for student loans and grants are being limited by on-going credit tightening, economic weakness, and governmental policies. For some, this situation creates an insurmountable obstacle to a college education, making the $40,000 scholarship from GotCho-sen a new potential way to achieve their dream.The scholarship is open to all: current students, ex-students with outstanding loans, or even future college students. It is free and easy to enter, as well as being100% transfer-able. Moreover, the more individuals recruited to enter the contest on a student’s behalf, the more potential entries will exist to increase the stu-dent’s chances of winning.You may register to enter for your chance to win the GotScholarship: $40K to Give Away drawing by visit-ing the GotChosen website at: www.gotchosen.com beginning May 1st, 2012 and the contest will close on September 30th, 2012.“This is only the first phase of our efforts,” Silva further added. “We anticipate creating a long line of scholarship recipients who will benefit. It is an exciting time for our young company, and we are hopeful

that we will become a powerful cre-ative and economic contributor for many years to come.”About GotChosen:GotChosen is an innovative startup in digital media and development headquartered in Orlando, FL. The company’s primary aim is to deliver an unparalleled interactive media and entertainment experience to us-ers by bridging gaps in digital and traditional media. This vision will be implemented on computers, tablets, smartphones and smart TVs near you in 2013-14.For more information aboutGotChosen, please visit:www.gotchosen.com

Das passarelas para as quadras de esporte competindo em elegância, times de diversos países arriscam em nomes e grifes para a confecção de uniformes para os jogos Olímpicos de 2012 Londres.

Márcio Rodrigo Delgado@marcio_delgado

Nos últimos meses virou moda falar dos JogosOlímpicos em Londres.Se o trânsito atrasa, foi alguma obra relacionada ao período esportivo que vem por aí. Se o transporte público sofre alguma interrupção é algum reparo que está sendo feito.Se o aluguél aumenta, foi por causa dos jogos tam-bém. Mas a moda, na sua pura essência, nunca esteve de fato, tão próxima do evento mais esperado do ano e esta edição dos jogos olímpicos, programada para acontecer em Londres de 27 de Julho a 12 de Agosto vai ser lembrada como o ano em que as grifesdecidiram vestir os atletas dos pés a cabeça.Em Março a estilista Stella McCartney apresentou o uniforme que os atletas do Reino Unido irão usar nos Jogos Olímpicos de Londres e que foi confec-cionado a partir de material esportivo da Adidas. Cerca de 500 atletas olímpicos e 350 paraolímpicos vestirão o novo uniforme que foi lançado com o mesmo requinte dos desfiles da alta costura na Torre de Londres, uma fortaleza real da capital inglesa construída em 1078 às margens do rio Tâmisa.

Stella McCartney, centro, assina uniforme da seleção britânica

Vermelho da discórdia – a criação bem que tentou inspirar-se nas cores da bandeira do país, com todas as equipes e atletas, inclusive a seleção de futebol, usando uniformes com desenho semelhante.Mas nem mesmo dois anos de pes-quisa e desenvolvimento garantiram a Stella, filha do ex-beatle Paul McCartney, a aprovação de público e crítica.A imprensa logo apontaria que a falta da cor vermelha no material esportivo, que ficou restrita a detalhes na gola e nas mangas de algumas modalidades é uma afronta a Gales, que, assim como Inglaterra, Escócia e Irlanda do Norte, integra o Reino Unido.A cor quase esquecida também é usada por Gales em seus uniformes de rugby e de futebol. Mas o dever de casa mal feito da estilista aparentemente tem implicações que vão além do resultado estético: se-gundo o psicólogo esportivo Robert Barton em entrevista ao jornal in-glês "The Guardian" o uniforme foi infeliz ao deixar a cor vermelha em segundo plano e a decisão pode in-clusivevir a influir nos resultadosatingidos pelos atletas.Em 2005, Barton escreveu umrelatório que conclui que a

performancedos esportistas é melhor quando usam vermelho.‘Obviamente ela criou o uniforme olímpico sob o ponto de vista da moda e não levou em conta os pos-síveis efeitos que as cores podem ter no desempenho humano.Mas se levarmos em consideração que há justificativas para o efeito da cor vermelha,comprovadas por cientistas, o resul-tado final foi um erro’.Com mais estudos em andamento sobre o quesito cores e seus impac-tos, outro psicólogo esportivo, Dr. Victor Thompson, também acredita que a Grã-Bretanha tenha perdido a chance de dar uma mãozinha aos atletas da casa. “Quando o esporte significa tanto para uma nação e a vitória é decidida em milésimos de segundos, nós deveríamos estar fa-zendo de tudo para ajudar os nossos atletas a conseguir o resultado dese-jado”, defende o psicólogo explican-do que usar a cor vermelha aumenta a auto-estima, contribui para uma atitude mais agressiva e faz com que tenhamos uma sensação de domínio mais apurada – algo que indepen-dente de jogos olímpicos facilmente explica o sucesso dos vestidos e ba-tons vermelhos entre o público femi-nino ao longo dos anos.

Outro jornal da Inglaterra, o ‘The Independent’, foi mais além e definiu o uniforme da seleção inglesa como ‘o pior uniforme es-portivo da história’.Esta não é a primeira experiência de Stella trabalhando com a Adi-das. Há alguns anos atrás a estilista lançou com sucesso uma linha es-portiva.Moderna, Stella McCartney reagiu às críticas através do seu Face-book mesmo, defendendo que a sua intenção foi manter a lingua-gem e a força da bandeira, mas usá-las de forma mais delicada. ‘Olhando para a história dos uni-formes britânicos, este é o que tem o maior uso da bandeira e da cor vermelha desde 1984", garante a estilista.Grifes na passarela esportiva:Stella McCartney está muito longe de ser a única sensação na passare-la dos jogos olímpicos de 2012 em sua parceria com a marca alemã Adidas.A seleção de diversos países parece ter ido buscar inspiração na moda para agregar valor ao desempenho dos seus atletas e os nomes de es-tilistas famosos, antes confinados a revistas de moda, estão em alta

demanda na Vogue tanto quanto nas publicações esportivas.Os Estados Unidos optaram mais uma vez pelo clássico uniforme da grife Ralph Lauren para a cerimô-nia de encerramento do evento. A África do Sul está apostando na grife japonesa ERKE para a dispu-ta dos Jogos Olímpicos de Londres e também nos Jogos do Rio de Ja-neiro, em 2016. A Nike patrocina a seleção brasileira nas duas ocasiões.E tem país que está indo mais adi-ante e abusando dos nomes de peso do mundo da moda. A grife italiana Prada, por exemplo, está por trás do uniforme que os times de iatismo e vela da Itália estarão vestindo durante a competição e o estilista italiano Giorgio Armani é o responsável pelo uniforme da equipe italiana para os Jogos Olím-picos de 2012.A paixão de Giorgio Armani pelo esporte, aliás, é algo que renderia a grife, em 2004, a linha esportiva E7.Seja qual for o resultado dos jogos, em Julho e agosto deste ano, no que depender do quesito moda já tem time competindo seriamente à vitória.

2012

With the arrival of Spring, and Summer around thecorner, what comes to mind is what our feet are going to wear on the next few months.Ahead you will read the history of Havaianas the flip flop that in-vaded the world and for sure will be in everyone's summer list, and also the next sensation on Nike's new running shoes, the lightest shoes ever invented, the Flyknit, to hit the stores in a few weeks, just on time for be the shoes that every runner will want.

A must have! Welcome! AboutUS is taking you to the best to come. Nike Flyknit revolutionizes running by re-thinking shoe

construction from the ground up Informed by athlete insights and employing a new proprietary tech-nology.

For your feet only!

Spring-Summer must havesYarns and fabric variations are pre-cisely engineered only where they are needed for a featherweight, formfitting and virtually seamless upper. With all the structure and support knitted in, the Nike Flyknit Racer’s upper and tongue weigh just 34 grams (1.2 ounces).The whole shoe weighs a mere 160g (5.6 ounces) for a size 9, 19% lighter than the Nike Zoom Streak 3, a shoe worn by first,

second and third place athletes in the men’s marathon at the 2011 World Championships.

Nike Flyknit upper is also engi-neered for precision fit, creating a feeling of a second skin. NIKE has created an everyday running shoe, the Nike Flyknit Trainer+, which at 220 grams or 7.7 ounces, will bring the weight and fit benefits of Nike Flyknit to runners of all levels.

Havaianas flip-flops are on consum-er’s feet in 85 countriesOn the verge of celebrating its 50th anniversary, the brand takes irrever-ence and the Brazilian spirit world-wide; about 4 billion pairs have al-ready been sold since its creationThe Havaianas brand is part of the portfolio of Alpargatas, one of the most traditional companies in Bra-zil, founded 104 years ago. When Havaianas were created in 1962, Al-pargatas’ idea was to create footwear that fit in any Brazilian’s “wallet”. The products were inspired by a tra-ditional Japanese sandal called Zori, which was comfortable and made with fabric straps and woven rice straw.The Zori’s sole, with a texture simi-lar to that of rice grains, inspired the creation of Havaianas. With a simple design and low price, Havaianas are made from resistant rubber. The phrase, “they don’t deform, the straps don’t come loose and don’t smell” became vey-well known in the 70’s, with the commercials featuring the Brazilian comedian Chico Any-sio. In the 80’s, models in four tones and white insoles were available and became popular among the poorer classes. With a simple design and low price, Havaianas are made from resistant rubber. The phrase, “they

don’t deform, the straps don’t come loose and don’t smell” became vey-well known in the 70’s, with the com-mercials featuring the Brazilian comedian Chico Anysio. In the 80’s, models in four tones and white insoles were available and became popular among the poorer classes. They were sold in plastic bags and sometimes placed next to cleaning material and almost always in places with little visibility at the points of sale. To differentiate themselves, some people from higher classes created fashion, turning the Havaianas in-soles down and making them one tone.

In the early 90’s, Alpargatas reinvent-ed Havaianas’ positioning. The com-pany created Havaianas Top, making them available in cheerful colors and aligned with fashion trends. The change was also seen at the points of sale – with more attractive packag-ing and communication – and at the company, where the work with opin-ion formers and journalists became even more active. The agency Al-mapBBDO assumed Havaianas’ ac-count and, together with Alpargatas, created irreverent advertising cam-paigns focused on the consumers.

That was when the signature “Havaianas, everyone wears them” was born.The strategy of investing in a product mix and marketing took the brand to consolidate itself as an international mania, becoming a synonym for happiness,relaxation and, especially,the Brazilian spirit.

The TV campaigns were fun films where well-known celebrities were “spotted” wearing the sandals. Malu Mader, Vera Fisher, Carolina Ferraz, Marcos Palmeira, Raí, among others, revealed that they wore and liked the product. In the magazine campaigns, the colors would catch consumers’ eyes in equally original ads.

And the interventions didn’t stop. In 1998, the Soccer World Cup inspired the launch of Havaianas Copa, a new model with a small Brazilian flag on the strap. The expectation that the Brazilian all-star team, “canarinho” (canary), would be the champion af-ter the success in 1994 was Alparga-tas’ great bet. The World Cup ended (and the Brazilians did not win the trophy), but the model remained and, due to the great success of the new product, it started being called Havaianas Brazil.

A CRIANCA TEM NECESSIDADE DE ACEITAÇÃO

Por Deo Britos

Somente quando a criança se sente aceita pelos pais ela se sentirá aceita pelos outros e por Deus, porque as crianças sentem falta de aceitação;As criticas constantes fazem com que a criança crie sentimentos de rejeição, fra-casso e desajuste.Comparar a criança com outra transmite falta de aceitação. Não existem crianças iguais e comparar uma com a outra é uma grande injustiça. A comparação contínua cria sentimentos de inferioridade.A superproteção de uma criança no geral contribui para o seu sentimento de não--aceitação. Quantas vezes você costuma dizer: “ Filho não quero que entre na água até que aprenda a nadar” Como ele vai então aprender ? A subproteção é me-nos perigosa que a superproteção. Esperar demais do filho pode criar senti-mentos de não-aceitação. Se a criança for levada a tentar demasiadamente alcançar o comportamento certo, isto pode fazer sentir-se desajustada. Isto não significa ceder sempre aos caprichos do filho. O comportamento inaceitável precisa de limites.Aceitação significa respeitar os sentimen-

tos e personalidade do filho.O que fazer para mostrar ao seu filho que ele é aceito?Reconheça seu filho como único, respeite sua individualidade.Expresse seu amor ao seu filho, deixe que a criança saiba que você a ama e que real-mente a aprecia.Aceite os amigos do seu filho, o lar deve ser um lugar aonde ela possa trazer livre-mente seus amigos e aonde eles gostem de ir. Deixe que ele saiba que você aprecia os amigos dele.Deixe de exigir perfeição dos seus filhos. Quando reconhecemos que não somos perfeitos e cometemos falhas demonstra-mos sinceridade aos filhos. Trate seu filho como uma pessoa de va-lor – Use palavras como: dá licença ao invés de saí da frente. Por favor- ao invés de pega para mim, Obrigado ao invés do silencio implícito que quer dizer: não fez mais que a sua obrigação.A criança que não se sente aceita pelos pais torna-se vulnerável à pressão destru-tiva do grupo. Ela luta pela aceitação por parte de outros. A maneira como a crian-ça é aceita nos primeiros anos de vida, determina em parte a estima que tem de si mesma e de outros quando chega a idade adulta. Se o ambiente no lar inclui uma aceitação feliz e satisfeita da criança, ela sente-se valorizada e forte. (Pesqui-sa livro: As sete necessidades básicas da criança. John M.Drescher, Editora mundo cris-tão.)

A CHILD NEED OF ACCEPTANCE

Only when the child feels accepted by parents he will feel accepted by others and by God , because children develop problems when they experience a lack of acceptance;The critical constants cause the child to create feelings of rejection, failure and inadequacy.Compare the child with another con-veys a lack of acceptance. Children are not all the same and compare them is a great injustice. The continuous com-parison creates feelings of inferiority.Overprotection of a child in general contributes to their sense of non-accep-tance. How many times you say, "Son I do not want you to enter the water until you learn to swim" How, then will he learn? The lack of protection is less dangerous than over protection.If you wait too long the child can create feelings of non-acceptance. If you impose to the child to reach a certain level of behavior, that can make him feel inadequate. This does not al-ways mean yielding to the whims of the child. The unacceptable behavior needs limits.Acceptance means to respect the feel-ings and personality of the child.What to show your child that he is ac-

cepted?Acknowledge your child as unique, re-specting their individuality.Express your love for your child, let the child know that you love and really enjoy it.Accept your child's friends, the home should be a place where she can freely bring their friends and where they like to go. Let him know you appreciate his friends.Leave to demand perfection from their children. When we recognize that we are not perfect we make mistakes and show sincerity to the children.Treat your child as a person of worth - Use words like: excuse rather than the get out of my may!. Please, instead of get it to me, Thank you instead of silence implied that he did nothing more than his duty.The child does not feel accepted by their parents becomes vulnerable to de-structive pressure group. She struggles for acceptance by others. The way the child is accepted in the first years of life determines in part the esteem of herself and others when it reaches adulthood. If the home environment includes a happy and joyful acceptance of the child, she feels valued and strong. (Research book: The seven basic needs of the child.

Snap!Orlando é uma celebração da fotografia que dura 4-diasapresentando o trabalho derenomados fotógrafos nacionais e internacionais, bem como o talento local. O evento e seus programas são projetados para inspirar emobilizar uma comunidade deentusiastas de arte, desde oiniciante ao colecionadorexperiente, em torno de umapaixão compartilhada para o meio fotográfico.

Produced by Patrick Kahn, and supported by Lucy Foundation, snap has been a great success in the past few years.Snap orlando is a real celebration , an international event that opens its doors to artist photographers from allover the world. The lectures, exposition, fashion show, and thousands of people that wait impatiently evey year, are just a few of the highlights on this celebra-tion of 3 daysthrough images and all different as-pects of art in photography.To our honor this year a Brazilian Pho-tographer was invited,Gabriel Wickbold, a young artistfrom Sao Paulo Brazil.Gabriel started young, with poetry, then music. As a musician he made a few connections with the artistic world in Brazil, from there he says he found photography when he was illustrating his poetry book, (his own poetry) and his images were so powerful that his photography started being recognized.Today, Gabriel, has the most amazing colection of images, series that are just umbelievably touching like Sexual Col-or and his new series Naïve, that were inexibition at SP Arteat the Ibirapuera Park on 09.10 e 11,12 e 13 of May,simultaneously with snap in Orlando. Gabriel explained a little abouthis revolutionary work“The use of paint in the model’s skin gave me the

chance to show the fossil men in con-trast to birds, fish, insects and flowers of harmonic forms and bright colors portraying the life cycle. To achieve this effect to the species we used the art of taxidermy. The use of white for the ef-fect of “fossilization” of the modelscomplements the trajectory of the art-ist. “After all the colors I used in Sexual Colors, I gave myself the chalenge of incorporating white to my work and did it in Naïve,” he adds. The photos are darker and the themeis denser.Among the faces that participate in this relationship between man and nature, engaged with environmental causes, are celebrities like actress Thaila Ayala and Roberto Frejat musicians and Tico Santa Cruz.To Wickbold was “impor-tant to reconcile the theme of the series to personal rcauses of some of the art-ists involved in the work.”Meeting Gabriel is one of those gifts that life gives you. Bright, bold and transparent soul, vibrant smile with a great mind and heart.Nothing would have been possible without snap, and Patrick was able to conect us because of this great event . Here is to many more to come and hop-ing that Gabriel achieves even moresuccess in his life and career.To Patrick our eternal gratitude to wel-come us into snap!

Brazil a world of opportunities

Continuing on the topic of "Brazil a world of opportunities", it is inevitable to think and look into the process that leaded to this rush.Brazil offers in the moment a large number of opportunities not only due to the favorable economy, but the also the World Cup and the Olympics Games on their way.But let's look away from the scenery andobserve the pri-mary details, on the consumer profile. Brazil has a population that has avid consumers, by necessity and also plea-sure, they love to travel.Imagine a population of 200 Million people with buying potential. It is a great opportunity.After many years battling a furious inflation, after increasing the buying power of the middle class by 5% of thispopulation, Brazil counts now on 40 million more consumers, since started emerging.Like this is not enough, on the last 3 years, Brazil has found a lot more oil sources and holds today one of the

largest offshore fields in the world. Not bad, it is like lady luck decided to look South, and found the Giant still asleep and woke him up to be rich.For many years many Brazilians mi-grated to the United States looking for a better life, today after many years passed by, Brazilians return to purchase business-es, homes,and instead of competing for small jobs, they now warm up the economy,andall this promoted by the promising growth in the Motherland.The Brazilian government has allowed over $200 Billion in improvements, to prepare for the Olympicsand World Cup, destined to improve Airports, Stadiums and also construc-tion of new stadiums, huge projects,and great opportunities in the naval, marine, aviation and construction fields.As you see there is potential, but there is also risk, due to the laws, and com-plicated taxation, and insurance.To be successful and avoid surprises, look into support with Law firms that are prepared to guide you safely with your businessventure, also insurance, and prepare yourself to learn the Brazilian way, where trust comes first, and then busi-ness.Good luck to all !

Em almoço no restaurante La Boheme no Grand Bohemian Hotel Downtown Or-lando, reuniram-se Fabricio Cavalcanti (AFC), Felipe Andre (AFC) Luis Marti-nez-Alicea (Director of Multicultural Af-fairs for the City of Orlando), Secretário multicultural da Prefeitura de Orlando, onde foi apresentado o projeto de realiza-ção do Amazon Forest Combat em Orlando. Segundo Fabricio o resultado não poderia ser melhor, e o próximo pas-so é aguardar a reunião com a Secretária de Viabilidade Econômica”, que esta bas-tante otimista – “Demos o primeiro passo concreto para realização do AFC em solo americano!” Com a concretização desse evento a cria-ção de uma nova categoria turística será criada em Orlando o Turismo esportivo, e o impulso na eco-nomia seria ainda maior, devido ao nu-mero não só de Brasileiros aqui nos EUA, mas também como no seu próprio pais.

Para mimBúzios – Rio de Janeiro - BrazilTexto de Simoni Lucena e Fotos Marcio Lucena.

Para a nossa família é sempre uma de-cisão difícil optar por outra opção de viagem que não seja praia quando saímos de férias. Primeiro porque adoramos o mar, segundo porque moramos em região de montanha e por último com um litoral tão vasto e sedutor como o nosso, aca-bamos deixando o interior ou até o exte-rior do país relegado a um segundo plano.Dos mais de sete mil quilômetros do lito-ral brasileiro, 635 estão no Rio de Janeiro. O Estado só perde em extensão litorânea para a Bahia e o Maranhão. E aqui, no Cantos & Encantos, registramos um dos mais agradáveis passeios que já fizemos, a encantadora Armação de Búzios.Mantendo a simplicidade de uma aldeia de pescadores e ao mesmo tempo per-mitindo a sofisticação de um balneário internacional, Búzios atrai visitantes de diversas partes do mundo. Muito do seu sucesso se deve a atriz Brigitte Bardot, que na década de 60 se refugiou na região e o vilarejo de pescadores ganhou fama internacional. Na Orla Bardot, a atriz permanece até hoje, imortalizada numa escultura de bronze em tamanho natural, onde costumava apreciar a Praia da Ar-

mação.Outras esculturas também podem ser apreciadas, acrescentando beleza às caminhadas de final de tarde, como os três pescadores que recolhem a rede do mar numa ilha artificial de pedras. São imagens que lembram a importância da preservação da pesca artesanal e, de tão realistas, até enganam os visitantes à pri-meira vista. Registramos o encantamento das crianças ao redor da obra de arte.Búzios é recortada por 23 praias de beleza deslumbrante, algumas bem badaladas como Geribá, com barzinhos à beira-mar com um turismo efervecente. Out-ras quase desertas, como a praia Brava, onde as fortes ondas a tornam a preferida dos surfistas. Todas de rara beleza, onde a água pode ser mais fria ou morna, e a cor pode ser de um verde escuro até um claríssimo tom de azul. Quem prefere windsurfe ou kitesurfe, ou simplesmente se esticar-se ao sol e ao vento, pode optar pela praia Rasa.Outra opção também passa pela im-portância ecológica da região onde abriga a Serra das Emerências, que faz parte da APA (Área de Proteção Ambiental) do Pau-Brasil, a maior e mais importante reserva desta árvore no estado do Rio de Janeiro. São passeios através de trilhas pela Mata Atlântica, a pé ou de Moto-Cross, onde é possível apreciar a exuber-ância da natureza, a fauna e muitas outras vistas deslumbrantes do alto das encostas.Por estas e outras, é quase impossível de-ixar de registrar os encantos desse nosso oito mil e quinhentos quilômetros de litoral.

To meBuzios - Rio de Janeiro - BrazilWritten by Simoni LucenaPhotos by Marcio Lucena.

For our family is always a difficult deci-sion to choose an alternative travel option that isn’t by the water when we go on vaca-tion. First because we love the ocean, sec-ond because we live in the mountains and finally with a vast coastline seductive as ours, we always pass on the other options as far as other states or even overseasWith an extention of seven thousand kilo-meters on the Brazilian coast, 635 of it are in Rio de Janeiro. The state is second only in size to the coastal Bahia and Maranhao. And here, at Cantos & Encantos, we regis-ter one of the most enjoyable tours we've ever done, the charming Buzios.Keeping the simplicity of a fishing village and at the same time allowing the sophis-tication of an international resort, Buzios attracts visitors from around the world. Much of its success owned to the actress Brigitte Bardot, who in the 60s took ref-uge in theregion and the fishing village gained in-ternational fame. In Orla Bardot, the actress remains today, immortalized in

a bronze sculpture in size, which used to enjoy the beach Frame.Other sculptures can also beappreciated, adding beauty to the walks of late afternoon, as the three fishermen who collect network artificial island of stones. They are images that recall the impor-tance of preserving traditional fishing and so realistic, to deceive the visitors at first glance. We recorded the enchantment of children around the artwork.Búzios is dotted with 23 beaches of breathtaking beauty, as few strokes as well Geribá, with bars on the seafront with an effervescent tourism. and the lmost de-serted like, Brava beach, where the strong waves make it a favorite among the surf-ers. All of rare beauty, where water can be colder or lukewarm, and color can be dark green to a crystal clear blue. Those whoprefer windsurfing or kite surfing, or sim-ply stretch out in the sun and unwind, you can choose Rasa beach.Another option that also involves theecological importance of the region is home to the Sierra Emerências, part of the EPA (Environmental Protection Area) of the Pau-Brazil, the largest and most important book of this tree in the state of Rio de Janeiro. They are walking trails through the Atlantic, on foot or moto-cross, where you canenjoy the exuberance of nature, wildlife and many other breath-taking views from atop the hillsides.For these and other, it is almost impossi-ble not to register the charms of our eight thousand and five hundredkilometers of coastline.

É aquela época do ano outra vez:parques temáticos em todo o paíslançam novospasseios de verão para atrair oscaçadores de emoções.

Por Ademar Rodrigues

De incríveis aventuras "imersivas" em que os visitantes são transportados para uma outra realidade de montanhas-russas modernas, com carros sem fundo zunindo pelas descidas em alta velocidades de auto-estradas, há algo para todos os gostos este ano - desde que seu gosto seja por adrenalina.Dollywood -O Parque de Dolly Parton na cidade de Smokey Mountain Pigeon Forge, Tennessee - chegou a frente do Parque tematico da Hershey na corrida para abrir a primeira montanha-russa alada no país. O passeio, que inaugurou em abril, oferece uma torção de parar o coração em comparação a outras mon-tanhas-russas de outros parques . Assen-tos elevados em cada lado da pista, por isso não tem nada acima ou abaixo deles, somente o ar - dando-lhes uma verdadeira sensação de estar voando que eles gritam quando a velocidade atinge mais de 60 mph através de quatro inversões de gravi-dade zero. Claro, os carros da montanha-russa de 200 metros de comprimento são construídos para se parecer com a ave nacional.A Disney Adventures na Califórnia, tem mais um novo entretenimento, Terra

dos Automóveis. Diga Olá para Radiator Lightning McQueen e outros personagens do grande sucesso da Disney-Pixar de animação. De uma passada pelo Café Flo V8 para reabastecer,e dar uma volta em três novos emocionantes novos passeios. Os malucos por velocidade vão adorar o Radiator Springs Racers .Experimente o vôo subaquático simulado em uma montanha-russa do SeaWorld em San Diego , abrindo em 26 de Maio. Manta swoops através de grutas e sobre a água como uma arraia . No lançamento, os visitantes poderão ver imagens de raios projetados sobre uma tela “envolvente” usando um sistema de projeção que é a primeiro de seu tipo no país. Ao longo de meia-milha, a montanha russa vai alcancar 4 G com movimentos de torção, terminando em uma vertical quando faz uma descida equivalente a um prédio de cinco andares. Logo após, acalme-se em um passeio por uma piscina onde voce pode quase tocar as arraias. Você pode ser parado em muitas rodovias por di-rigir dessa maneira tão rápida mas o Skyrush,vem ai nesse verão para o Parque tematico da Hershey (chocolates)em Her-shey, Pa., atingindo a velocidades de até 75 mph. Este mega coaster esconde um terrível -segredo, ou maravilhoso, depen-dendo de seu ponto de vista - um pequeno segredo.As duas linhas externas de assen-tos em cada carro são sem fundo, o que significa que pessoas sentadas neles vão se sentir como se estivessem balançando no ar eles sobem ao topo de uma montanha-russa de 20 andares logo após descendo toda a colina com gravidade zero, e muita emoção.

Você vai se sentir como se você estivesse montado no ombro do Homem-Aranha quando saltar sobre a mais popular atração da Universal Orlando. O Homem-Aranha, que reabriu em Março, com sensacionais efeitos. Uma combinação perfeita de ação ao vivo, 3-D e veículos em movimento levam você a uma aventura completamente imersiva em que o Aranha resgata a Estátua da Liberdade do Sindicato Sinistro. Ao longo do caminho, ele bal-ança a partir de edifícios , becos e pelas ruas, mergulhando em uma queda de 400 metros livre no final que você vai experimentar como se estivesse assobi-ando no ar junto com ele.Os robos que mudam de forma os Autobots e os Decepticons vão se con-frontar em um brinquedo num pas-seio pela Universal Studios Hollywood Transformers um grande sucesso, estre-ia em 25 de maio. Espere por um tipo de atração que fará cair o queixo com efeitos especiais com a marca registra-da da Universal - esta atuação, como o Homem-Aranha da Universal deOrlando, reúne 3-D, efeitos sensoriais e imagens de alta definição projeta-das para proporcionar sensações no corpo inteiro . É barulhento, é grande e promete agradar os fãs de Transform-ers de todos os lugares do mundo.

Whoosh através do ar como o Homem de Aço neste Verão no Six Flags Discovery King-dom em Vallejo, Califórnia, e Six Flags Magic Mountain em Valencia, Califórnia. Esses pas-seios de emoção lançam pilotos a 15 andares de altura, através de espirais e de cabeça para baixo - em velocidades de até 62 mph. Se você tiver presença de espírito, uma vez que você sai do Ultimate Flight, você pode congratular-se por ter se atrevido a andar na montanha-russa com a maior inversão do Oeste do Mississippi. Deixe a escuridão da Floresta Negra pelo brilho do Rhine uma mon-tanha-russa em Busch Garden’s Williamsburg’s que possue trilhos dentro e fora da colina, abrindo em 18 de maio.Verbolten, Busch Gardens, possui a maior montanha russa que já era parte do parque temático, recentemente renova-do na aldeia de Oktoberfest.O principal detalhe do passeio é a envolvente queda livre de 90 metros que promete alguns minutos de loucura que farão seu estômago dar uma volta.Tem uma coisa por alturas? Gosta de sentir o seu estô-mago sair pela boca? Six Flags Magic Mountain em Valencia,

Califórnia, tem uma das mais imperdíveis atrações para você, abrindo nesse verão. A história do passeio é que você está fugindo da Krypton Tower, onde o arqui-inimigo do Super-man te aprisionou. Você será transportado até o topo de uma torre de 400 pés em uma gôn-dola sem fundo, em seguida, ter uma queda livre ate quase o fundo em uma velocidade de até 85mph. Conceito simples, uma execução assustadora.O parque aquatico em Santa Claus, Indiana, acrescenta à sua longa lista (18, para ser exato) de atrações de água nesse verão o Mammoth Water Coaster que o parque o considera como a mais longa do mundo. Sente em uma balsa de 9-pés que desliza, como que por magia, ao topo de cada morro, após uma que-da. Você nunca sabe o caminho que você estará enfrentando nos canais de frente, de costas ou de lado - e às vezes você fica completamente no escuro. Para um passeio de água, este parece muito emocionante.Aproveite o verao que esta che-gando e se puder visite as atra-coes , elas prometemthrill e sucesso!

HAND MADE PARTY TREATS

When giving this chance to write about the Orlando mu-sic scene, a million ideas ran through my mind on what to write about. Finally I decided that the best way to shine light on our city would be by exposing the heros of our music scene. This month’s big shout out goes to the “VEN-UE”. There are so many night spots that support indie mu-sic but one stands alone in my eyes. Club 57 West from day one has dedicated its venue to local artist and bands like no other. When I 1st started South Coast Records, Amy and Anthony (The Owners) opened their club and their hearts to us. We were just a small company then but with the downtown exposure, we were able to build a big fan-base in Orlando. They are doing their part for Indie music. In order for our city to grow musically, we must unite as a city musically. 57 West and other clubs like it, are the foun-dation for our city to be a major force in the music Indus-try.

Stroll down Celebration is inviting no matter what, add an Art Festival even better. The festival had a wide range of artistic photography, paint-ings, exquisite beautiful jewelry, and a lot more. Even if you are not into art, take a look around, watch the kids in the park, or look around while sitting in one of the great restaurants that surround the area, would be more than enough to entertain. According to the City of Celebration, the event was defined by:“Bold and vibrant paintings, contemporary and whimsical art, life-size sculptures, photography and jewelry are among the many works of art that will be featured along the quaint brick-lined streets of Celebration Town Center when the city’s annual art festival returns April 21 -22, 2012. Market Street will be transformed into a gallery style outdoor art extravaganza complete with 100 of the finest artists from thirty different states. Admission is free and open to the public.Festival promoter Howard Alan Events, producer of many award-win-ning juried art fairs throughout the country and the founder of the original Celebration art show, is thrilled to return with this premier art affair. “We are very excited to return to Celebration with a top rate show and the finest artists in the country,” says Howard Alan, founder of Howard Alan Events.”
