As t ime goes by life changes and runs on the fast lane, what was a success yesterday is no longer a hit and everything goes into the past almost as they never existed. Conquer cyberspace is more important that anything else affecting your regular life. Being popular and successful is not only being a part of the news on T V but also be seen on the net all the time.Forget those 15 seconds of fame, they no longer count. And life goes on, with hits, clicks and likes, the more the merrier, in a frenetic daily run to the computer. Scary?! NO !, Not at all! Part of daily life.But I wonder what will be next, what will come to get our attention as deep as Facebook, and all the .com out there, that fight for a piece of the pie.Many remember the old black telephone? Of course, but we no longer have it or need it. Do you remember Atari? yes it was fast gone, the regular cellular phone, forget it, now it has to be a smart phone, computers are fast replaced by laptops, tablets and soon will no longer be needed because everything has to be mobile, fast, taken wherever you go, and so are the books, and the magazines. We believe we are fast going into a new reality, and one day we will look behind and around, finally realizing nothing is the same, and we can’t even recognize anything because we were fixed on a screen.Did you realize how fast it is all going?Well, we did, that is why we are on the net only, and we don’t print! we are mobile like everything that matters. All major newspapers and magazines already have their online version, and soon will make the transition. And by the way remember you can take us everywhere too! you can open and save our magazine in any mobile phone or iPad. Well we hope you enjoy your Summer! there are a few things you can do and suggestions inside the magazine.Enjoy your Journey,! All of it! Laiz Rodrigues/Hotspotorlando AboutUS Magazine !

o ParatyBy Marcio&Simoni Lucena.

Here we are in one more gorgeous trip. This time, with the possibility of being transported

through time to stroll the streets of irregular stonespavement known as "Pé de moleque" of the eighteenth century. We walked around Paraty through the colonial buildings, mansions, houses and churches that reflect the style of an era, true architectural relics preserved. Considered a National Historical Monument, Paraty is now a hub of tourism that attracts thousands of visi-tors from all over the world. Besides the natural beauty, the vast city's cultural calendar offers Festival of Dance, Music, with international and national attrac-tions, jazz, blues, pop, cinema, theater, exhibitions, gastronomy, folklore festivals, Brazilian Cachaça Fes-tival and various religious events, and it could not fail to mention the FLIP - Paraty International Lit-erary Festival this year in its tenth edition that will honor our great Brazilian poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade. The beautiful beaches surrounded by mountains covered by Atlantic Forest are part of the National Park Serra da Bocaina and can be vis-ited by car, but mostly only allows access by boat. There are numerous possibilities for island tours that can be made with schooners that hold up to 150 peo-ple, or motorboats, sailboats, which can be rented for a private tour. By car you can visit the famous town of Trinidad, 25 km from the center of Paraty, which is part of the Environmental Protection Area Cairuçu. According to local information, the Bay of Paraty has 65 islands and nearly 50 beaches. Many still wild, deserted or almost untouched. We can not visit, not a third of these charms in just three days, but we are sure of a return soon to complete this "arduous" task of exploring a few more wonders of the Bay of Paraty.

PARATYPorMarcio & SimoniLucena

Aqui estamos com o registro de mais um belíssimo passeio. Dessa vez, com a possibilidade de sermos transportados através do tempo ao passear pelas ruas de calçamento irregular de pedras conhecidas como “pés-de-moleque”, do século XVIII. Viajamos em Paraty através das construções coloniais, casarões, sobrados e igrejas que traduzem o estilo de uma época, verdadeiras relíquias arquitetônicas preservadas.Considerada Patrimônio Histórico Nacional, hoje Paraty é um pólo de turismo que atrai milhares de visitantes de todos os lugares do mundo. Além das belezas naturais, o vasto calendário cultural da cidade oferece Festivais de Dança, de Música, com atrações internacionais e nacionais, jazz, blues, MPB, cinema, teatro, exposições, gastrono-mia, festas do folclore brasileiro, Festival da Cachaça e diversos eventos religiosos. E não poderia deixar de mencionar a FLIP – Festa Literária Internacional de Paraty, este ano na sua décima edição que irá homenagear o nosso grande poeta brasileiro, Carlos Drummond de Andrade.As belíssimas praias cercadas de montanhas cobertas pela Mata Atlântica fazem parte do Parque Nacional da Serra da Bocaina e podem ser visitadas por carro, mas a sua maioria só permite acesso de barco. Há inúmeras possibilidades de passeios pelas ilhas que podem ser feitos com escunas que comportam até 150 pessoas, ou com lanchas, veleiros, que podem ser alugadas para passeios particulares. De carro podemos visitar a famosa Vila da Trindade, há 25 Km do centro de Paraty, que faz parte da Área de Proteção Ambiental do CairuçuSegundo informações locais, a baía de Paraty possui 65 ilhas e quase 50 praias. Muitas ainda selvagens, desertas ou quase intocadas. Não conseguimos visitar nem um terço do total desses encantos em apenas três dias, mas levamos a certeza de um retorno breve, para completar essa “árdua” missão de desbravar mais algumas maravilhas da baía de Paraty.

AlmasQuero ter ao seu lado, o melhor tempo deste mundo,

preciso desamarrar as minhas urgências, cheias de receios,olhar para frente com mais calma, e conseguir ver o teu passeio,sei que somos iguais, então posso ver a delicadeza do teu traçado.

E para preencher as minhas horas, tão solitárias da tua companhia,posso inventar uma nova receita, e escolher bem os ingredientes,

ainda não conheço tudo o que o teu apurado paladar gosta,mas, quem sabe, eu consiga adivinhar a tua preferência por inteiro.

Mesmo que dentro dos sabores, hajam motivos muito apimentados,no centro desta nova iguaria, devo acrescentar algo mais adocicado,

já que pretendo desvendar, cada mistério dos teus afogueados desejos,vou misturar neste alimento, aquela vontade crua de renascer.

Como se ao satisfazer o teu apetite, eu pudesse despir a tua alma,devo inserir também neste preparo, uma pitada mágica de paz,

quando você chegar, poderá descansar, sem precisar olhar pra trás.

Contigo, todas as minhas intenções, além de puras são sinceras,Então, estico a toalha branca na mesa, para ressaltar as tuas cores,

já escolhi até as flores do arranjo, as que mais combinam contigo,adoráveis margaridas, bem me quer, mal me quer, bem me quer...

Depois, acenderei na hora certa, as velas de um antigo castiçal,para refletir o faiscar lento da chama, no fundo do teu olhar,

assim poderei saborear, o gosto molhado e quente do vinho,esparramando de leve, meus lábios em tua boca faminta,na pretensão louca e abusada, de seduzir teu corpo ligeiro.

E após este gostoso jantar, flambarei sob o teu colo de mansinho,neste ambiente onde crio os meus sonhos, posso te namorar,

e te acolher em meus braços, que prá você estão sempre abertos,assim, vou desenhando o nosso destino, onde os traços são certeiros.

Neste cantinho, posso colocar tudo o que precisarmos para relaxar,aqui podemos juntar as alegrias, e esquecer todas as limitações,

e mesmo que ainda haja dúvidas, decifraremos as respostas,pois é somente por estarmos nesta tão serena comunhão,que temos todas as chaves, antes perdidas,agora seguras em nossas mãos...

Então, venha quando quiser ou puder, minha urgência, já sabe lidar com a carência,

busco sempre descobrir um novo tempero,posso deixar a vontade com menos molho,e guardar para outro dia, esta linda utopia,pois quando chegar a hora de acontecer,certamente saberemos o que fazer,

To say that Yatin Patel is a creative artist is an understatement. He had many business ven-tures, all with success, excelled in business and now he does the same with his art, life gave him a chance to follow his dream and he is doing it with outstanding pictures..The classic Black&White the total absence of color, and still his work screams loud . In reality there is no need of color when you can cause that much impact without it. For the ones that know him also know how impor-

tant his photography is for him, maybe be-cause there is so much of him in it.This is not the first time we show his work, and the reason why we do it is because we want more and more people to see it, share it, cherish, recognize it.. To give others the same chance we had when we saw it for the first time, to feel what we felt.The pictures are large, in hand crafted paper, beautiful work of a Collection named Sutra.

Sua fotografia se baseia na Índia onde ele nasceu e retratam aspectos Histórico e sócio cult-urais do pais .

Celebrating 50 years of precise performance

BREITLING comemora os 50 anos do primeiro cronógrafo de pulso Espacial.

Em 24 de maio de 1962, o Breitling Navitimer cronógrafo de pulso se tornou o primeiro instrumento a participar da conquista do espaço, acompanhando o vôo Aurora 7. Para comemorar o 50 º aniversário deste feito histórico, a marca está lançando em órbita um novo Cosmonauta Navitimer equipado com um movimento de alto desempenho da Breitling , inteiramente desenvolvido e produzido nas oficinas da empresa. Esta edição limitada de 1.962 peças se distingue pela sua indicação de 24 horas, com o seu meio de manual winding com dois botões, como o cronógrafo original de 1962 , assim como a insignia da missão Aurora 7 gravada no verso da caixa.

Navitimer Cosmonaute. A lenda continua.Feito para o ESPACONos anos 1960 tudo era voltado para a corrida espacial. Os norte-americanos lançaram o programa Mercury que pretendia desenvolver vôos tripulados. Eles estavam procurando um cronógrafo de alta performance, preciso e confiável, capaz de resistir a condições excep-cionais. Com isto em mente, eles naturalmente se voltaram para a Breitling, o "fornecedor oficial para o mundo da aviação" e um parceiro privilegiado dos melhores momentos da história aeronáutica. O Navitimer, relógio oficial do piloto criado em 1952, com a sua fa-mosa régua circular movel que serve para realizar todas as operações relativas à navegação aérea, naturalmente firmou-se como o instrumento ideal para assumir este desafio. Ele passou com sucesso por todos os testes necessários, e em 24 de Maio de 1962, o Tenente-Comandante Scott Carpenter orbitou a Terra três vezes a bordo da cápsula Aurora 7. Em seu pulso um Navitimer equipado com uma escala de 24 horas servindo para distinguir o dia da noite - uma necessidade absoluta no espaço. Missão cumprida. Este foi um novo simbolo, o principal para o reconhecimento da Breitling, e esta conquista pioneira entrou nas coleções da marca sob o nome de Cosmonaute.A maquina dirigindo esta REALIZAÇÃO.A nova fabricação Breitling Caliber 02 que movimenta o novo Cosmonaute Navitimer se de-staca por seu marcador de 24 horas e sua corda de sistema manual, duas características dis-tintas do modelo que acompanhou Scott Carpenter em órbita da Terra. Desenvolvido pelos engenheiros da Breitling e relojoeiros com base no Calibre 01, o melhor cronografo do mun-do, em relação ao movimento, e é dotado de todos as melhores qualidades deste "motor" excepcional - incluindo uma estrutura de coluna circular, o máximo de confiabilidade, segu-rança e funcionalidade, firme robustez e precisão excepcional confirmada por um certificado do cronometro concedido pelo COSC (Instituto Oficial de Testes Suíço de Cronômetros). Emitido em uma edição limitada de 1.962 peças , o 50 º aniversário Navitimer Cosmonaute apresenta um mostrador preto com contadores de prata. O mostrador foi criado usando o refinado processo "par épargne" em uma base de prata, garantindo assim o brilho inigualável e legibilidade das indicações seja ela qual for . Além da gravação da missão Aurora 7 , a tampa traseira do relógio também carrega uma escala de conversão Celsius / Fahrenheit - outro detalhe fiel ao desenho dos modelos vintage Navitimer.

BREITLING CELEBRATES THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST SPACEGOING WRIST CHRONOGRAPH.

On May 24th 1962, a Breitling Navitimer chronograph became the first wrist instrument to share in the conquest of space by accompanying the Aurora 7 flight. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this historical feat, the brand is launching into orbit a new Navi-timer Cosmonaute equipped with a highperformance Manufacture Breitling movement, entirely developed and produced in the company workshops. This 1,962-piece limited edition is distinguished by its 24-hour display, its manualwinding mode – two nods to the original 1962 chronograph – as well as the Aurora 7 mission insignia engraved on the caseback. Navitimer Cosmonaute. The legend continues.MAIDEN SPACE FLIGHT.

The early 1960s were all about the space race. The Americans launched the Mercury pro-gram intended to develop manned flights. They were looking for a high-performance, accurate and reliable chronograph capable of withstanding exceptional conditions. With this in mind, they naturally turned to Breitling, the “official supplier to world aviation” and a privileged partner of the finest hours in aeronautical history. The Navitimer, the cult pilot's watch created in 1952, with its famous circular slide rule serving to perform all operations relating to airborne navigation, naturally asserted itself as the ideal in-strument in taking up this challenge. It successfully passed all the required tests, and on May 24th 1962, Lt Commander Scott Carpenter orbited the Earth three times aboard the Aurora 7 capsule. On his wrist was a Navitimer equipped with a 24-hour graduated scale serving to distinguish day from night – an absolute necessity in space. Mission accomplished. This was a major new token of recognition for Breitling, and this space conquest pioneer soon entered the brand's collections under the name of Cosmonaute.THE ENGINE DRIVING THE ACCOMPLISHMENT.

The new Manufacture Breitling Caliber 02 powering the Navitimer Cosmonaute stands out by its 24-hour display and its manual-winding system – two distinctive features echoing the model that accompanied Scott Carpenter in orbiting the Earth. It was devel-oped by the Breitling engineers and watchmakers based on Caliber 01, the world's best chronograph movement, and is endowed with all the assets of this exceptional “engine” – including an original column-wheel structure, maximum reliability, security and func-tionality, unfaltering sturdiness and exceptional precision confirmed by a chronometer certificate granted by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute). Issued in a 1,962-piece limited edition, the 50th anniversary Navitimer Cosmonaute features a black dial with silver counters. The dial motif is created using the refined “par épargne” process on a sterling silver base, thereby guaranteeing the peerless radiance and read-ability of the indications. In addition to the Aurora 7 mission insignia, the engraved caseback also carries a Celsius/Fahrenheit conversion scale – another detail faithful to the design of the vintage Navitimer models.

City of OrlandoThe city Beautiful!

Orlando re-elected Mayor Buddy Dyer last April 3rd, and on June 1st

Mayor and City commissioners had thei Oath of Office Ceremony to rewew their vows for 4 more years of commitment to this City.This commitment may not seem a lot to some but for the ones taht have been following this administration for more than 2 years, believe when we say that they give public service a new meaning. Mayor Dyer and City Commissioners are very serious about being the number one City in the US and they have not stopped to make this happen.

So this ceremony took hundreds of people to the Bob Carr Performing

Arts Center, because we were all celebrat-ing a victory that in our hearts couldn’t be different.Here is what Mayor Dyer had to say.

“My hope is the history books will reflect that the Dyer Administration

asked citizens to imagine a great City and created just that.” Friends, over the last ten years… we have done exactly that.We dreamed of new ways to make our beloved city even better. We tapped into the power of partnership like never be-fore to make those dreams a reality and in doing so, we wrote a bold new chapter

in the history of Orlando, the City Beau-tiful! When I look back at that first oath of office and the shared vision we laid out for our community… I am filled with awe at what we have been able to accomplish. On that first day, we said diversifying our economy beyond our tourism base and creating quality, high paying jobs for our residents was a top priority. Those job creation engines are in place in the form of the Medical City at Lake Nona, our main street small business districts, our entrepreneurial incubators, our leading educational institutions and what will, in the years ahead, become Orlando’s Cre-ative Village.

Through these initiatives we have laid the foundation for a 21st century

economy and become what national pub-lications call, “One of the most business-friendly cities in America.”Today, three of our powerhouse indus-try sectors... Modeling, Simulation and Training… Life Sciences and Biotech-nology… and Digital Media contribute an annual economic impact of nearly 15 billion dollars and are responsible for employing 51-thousand residents.In just the last few years we have been recognized as:

Entrepreneur Magazine’s Number One City in America for Entrepreneurship

Inc. Magazine’s Top “Hot Spot” for job cre-ation among companies with 100 employees or less.

The least expensive City in America to open a business.

And, America’s number one “Hot Bed for High Tech Growth.” On that first day, we committed to making sure that everyone in our City had greater access to education and opportunity. So, we worked with busi-nesses to adopt the City’s first living wage ordinance, to make it easier for working men and women to support their families. We established 12 voluntary pre-kindergarten classes in the City. And, we created the Blue-print Program to make sure that Orlando’s residents benefited from our construction projects in the form of jobs, contracts and job training. On that first day, we focused on revitalizing Downtown Orlando.

A decade ago, Downtown was described by many as a blighted “ghost town,” a center City that had lost its identity along with many of its residents and visitors. Through a number of citizen task forces, our commu-nity set to work engineering one of the most dramatic turnarounds, of any urban core in America. We doubled our skyline in less than five years. We increased our Downtown tax base by more than 50 percent and saw more than six hundred new businesses open their doors, which are still operating today. We helped shepherd more than 1.7 billion dol-lars of investment in our Downtown core. We also secured the largest public, private build-ing project in Central Florida history, giving our residents access to world class sports,

arts and entertainment, and the correspond-ing economic impact derived from those activities. On that first day, we committed to restoring Parramore. Orlando’s historic African American neighborhood had been in decline for decades and had become notori-ous for crime and drugs.Nearly seven years after we established Path-ways for Parramore, crime in the neighbor-hood has been reduced dramatically through community policing, bike patrols, IRIS cam-eras and neighborhood watch groups. We also worked to stabilize the neighborhood by encouraging home ownership through the addition of new and rehabilitated homes… along with the construction of more than 100 new rental housing units.

And, we launched the Parramore Kidz Zone, which helped reduce juvenile arrests in the neighborhood by 80 percent. PKZ also provided young people in the neighbor-hood with access to tutoring, resulting in a dramatic increase in FCAT scores. Our first group of those PKZ students are enrolled in college.

On that first day, we stressed the criti-cal need to focus on transportation and giving our residents options

outside of their automobiles. After nearly 25 years of failed attempts to secure a public rail transit system, we were finally able to begin construction on SunRail, Central Florida’s first commuter rail line. We also put plans in place to expand LYMMO, Downtown’s free bus circulator, to Parramore and Thornton Park and worked to increase ridership on our LYNX bus system. And, last year LYNX hit record ridership of 28 million passengers. We also established an intelligent transporta-tion system, which provides route guidance and emergency information for Downtown motorists, making it easier and safer to navi-gate our Downtown core.

On that first day, this administration inherited a 23 million dollar budget shortfall. So, we laid out a plan to fix

the budget without raising taxes and without cutting police and fire protection while also putting measures in place to make our fi-nances more accountable and transparent.

We didn’t just keep that promise, we went beyond it. Ten years later, taxes are lower than they were on

that day and our residents pay the lowest tax rate of any major city in Florida.

Today, we have more police officers and firefighters per thousand residents than any other major city in Florida.

We’ve reduced the overall number of em-ployees everywhere else, with the only new spending going towards police and fire pro-tection. We did all this without draining our reserves. The result of this hard work is that we are now in the best financial shape of any major city in Florida.

Now, things didn’t always happen like we planned. We have had our share of challenges and disappointments

over the last ten years. We certainly have not been immune to a national recession that has crippled cities across the country. We had to adjust on the fly. We had to scale back some projects and reduce some services. We had to shrink the size of our City government and make sure we lived within our means.

Through it all, we were able to keep our vision for the future moving forward. The result of our perseverance is that

people are talking about Orlando as the place that is primed to recover stronger and faster than anywhere else.

The successes of the past decade are important. They have shaped the City we live in now and the City that we

will be a generation from now. But, we must remember that success isn’t a destination; it’s a direction.

success isn’t a destination, it’s a direction.

A platter with cheeses, fruits, three different types of salsa, and hot hors d’oeuvre. Everything perfect. The catering manager Carolina Garry and her crew really went all the way to please the crowd, and they succeeded .

The guests arrived as expected, many new faces, new businesses and lots of

networking. Vice Presidents Nelson Frei-tas and Marcio Silva spoke to all guests, and new member Edward Clarck from Nielson Bonds www.nielsonbonds.com spoke and presented himself to all pres-ent. Cindy Brown representative to Sena-tor Daniel Webster was also present for the first time and met all the guest, Miss teen Florida Maria Eduarda was pres-ent, showing her grace, and graciously answered all the questions about her pag-eant history, she really shines everywhere she goes, a great success.

Talking about success, Marta Cerquei-ra brought her art to the event and

The Amazon Forest Cafe soft Opening

AMAZON FOREST CAFE ORLANDOIn a jungle that is responsible for 20

% of the oxygen in the world and in the biggest river that crosses this Jungle lays the Amazon Forest. A magical world with, flavors colors and tastes never experienced before. In the Ama-zon Rain forest a palm tree was discov-ers, is a small purple fruit almost the size of a grape with less pulp but it has ingredients that are so powerful that represent 42 % of the diet in the region. A palm tree that has already rescued part of the areas that were victim of deforestation, because the palm tree where the Acai grows is less devastating than the Sugar cane culture.

The Acai Palm Tree is one of these miracle that were there waiting to

be discovered, and now can do so much as far as sustainability for the region it comes from. Back in 2008 the Green-peace declared that just its culture alone would solve all the deforestation problems. Acai represents abetter life, for them and for us.

The Amazon Forest was created in 2009, it represents a trilogy, Acai

Fruit, AFC Combat, and Amazon For-est Franchise. This trilogy created by Fabricio and Felipe represent an ambi-tious project that plans to be really big in a few years, and they are working hard, they are driven.. The Acai fruit pulp is already a champion in sales and based on the fruit, and its properties. It is the top anti-oxidant in the market and great source of vitamins.

The Amazon Forest Cafe has com-bined two powerful icons of the

Amazon, Acai, and the Tambaqui Fish, with these frontier breakers and the motto "Fresh to the last drop", they want to be one of the top food chains by 2015.

With exclusive rights to the import of the fish, they believe that this

will be a powerful weapon in establish-ing their style and brand here in the United States.The Tambaqui is famous for its large ribs almost as big as the Pork ribs, and it is of amazing taste and freshness.

The Amazon Forest Combat (AFC-MMA) is already a famous fight

allover Brazil and Canada and it is already in process to be promoted in Orlando. Although the franchise of the Amazon Forest Cafe is something new and innovative due to the different sizes and styles in which is presented, cafe or kiosk. The AFC brand is here to stay, and it already is a success. The soft opening for the press and close friends was a great opportunity to taste all the exquisite and sophisticated fresh food.

All major products were prepared and served in appetizer sizes,

the acai Juices, smoothies and des-serts, served in small cups as well, all prepared with elegance in a beautiful display. An Indian, performed by Bea-triz Araujo, greeted all guests and was wearing an original Amazon Indian costume. Everything the way it is in the Amazon Forest. Prepare yourself to embrace the idea.

For more pictures about thevent follow this linkhttp://thehotspotorlando.com/2012/06/08/amazon-forest-cafe-soft-open-a-huge-success/

Located at Orlando Crossings,at 5417 International Dr. the new Brazilian Hottest point for Tourists, that just gained a great sensation. Fabricio and Felipe are the youngest Brazilian entrepreneurs in Orlando, working full power to achieve their goals.

At Amazon Forest you will also find the Art of Soco Freire a great Brazilian Artst that is displaying some of her work at the Cafe.

EDUCACAO INFANTILPor Deo Britos

A CRIANÇA TEM NECESSIDADE DE DISCIPLINA “Jovem, obedeça sempre a seu pai, nunca deixe de se-guir os conselhos da sua mãe…As ordens de seu pai e os conselhos de sua mãe são uma lâmpada para ilu-minar o caminho da vida. Quando seus pais repreen-diam você eles estavam querendo lhe mostrar a di-reção certa para uma vida feliz”. Provérbios 6:20,23 (A Bíblia Viva). A criança que não sabe quais são os seus limites de comportamento, sente-se insegura e não amada. Os problemas emocionais entre os jovens não são causa-dos pela disciplina firme, mas pela ausência dela. Definição de disciplina. A disciplina é no geral defin-ida como a ordem que produz obediência. Este con-ceito é limitado. A palavra disciplina deriva de “dis-cípulo”. Tanto disciplina quanto discípulo significa instruir, educar e treinar. A disciplina envolve a modelagem total do caráter da criança, encorajando o bom comportamento e corri-gindo aquele que é inaceitável. Formas de disciplinar: Desenvolver respeito pelos pais esta é a base para to-dos os futuros relacionamentos da criança. Se quiser que seus filhos aceitem seus valores na adolescência, deverá então merecer seu respeito na infância. Seja um modelo de disciplina para o seu filho. Cum-pra as regras, antes de cobrá-las. A criança busca ser como aqueles que ama e admira. Estabeleça regras. As crianças respeitam os pais que estabelecem regras. As crianças ficam confusas e infelizes quando lhes é permitido fazer o que sabem que é errado. Tente se lembrar: As professoras que mais marcaram na sua vida escolar foram

aquelas que eram firmes no estabelecimento e cumprimento das regras. Comunique claramente aos seus filhos as regras que devem ser cumpridas, depois faça perguntas para saber se ele entendeu as regras. Não aceite ser desafiado pelo seu filho. ex.: “Não faço, Não vou, ou Cale a boca você.” Tome uma atitude não finja que é surdo. Ordene a Privação de privilégios. Sempre deve-se explicar à criança o porquê da disciplina.Não castigue seu filho por atitudes infantis do tipo: pular, cantar, correr, derrubar leite na mesa coisa muito natural até mesmo entre os adultos que tem uma boa coordenação motora, ainda mais com uma criança que está em processo de desenvolvimento da coordenação motora (atenção: ninguém quebra ou derruba alguma coisa porque quer. Pense nisso! Seja mais tolerante).Não crie o hábito de castigar a todo momento, porque perde o sentido.Evite cometer os mesmos erros que os seus pais cometiam e te deixavam infeliz “Sábio é o homem que aprende com os erros dos outros’.(autor desconhecido).Nunca castigue seu filho obrigando-o a fazer coisas que deveria gostar. ex.: Vá ler uma página da Bíblia.Evite disciplinar ou brigar com o filho quanto estiver fazendo as refeições à mesa. Sempre deve haver uma atmosfera harmoniosa entre a família na hora das refeições.A criança tem que aprender a ter gratidão, tem que aprender a valorizar o que tem e o que recebe. Cuidado com o excesso de materialismo o excesso de materialismo diminui a alegria de receber. extraído livro: As sete necessidades básicas da criança. John M.Drescher, Editora mundo cristão.

CHILDREN EDUCATIONBy Deo Britos

A CHILD NEEDS DISCIPLINE " My son, keep your father’s commands and do not for-sake your mother’s teaching. 21 Bind them upon your heart forever; fasten them around your neck. 22 When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you. 23 For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of dis-cipline are the way to life, Proverbs 6:20,23 (The Living Bible).The child who does not know what their limits of behavior, feels in-secure and unloved. The emotional problems among young people are not caused by firm discipline, but by its absence.Definition of discipline. Discipline is generally defined as punish-ment that produces obedience. This concept is limited. The word discipline comes from "disciple." Both discipline and disciple means to instruct, educate and train.The discipline involves modeling the character of the child, encouraging good behavior and correct-ing that which is unacceptable.Forms of discipline:Developing respect for parents this is the basis for all future relationships of the child. If you want your children to accept their values in adolescence, then you should earn your respect in childhood.Be a model of discipline for your child. Observe the rules before charging them. The child seeks to be like those who love and admire.Establish rules. Children respect parents who set rules. Children are confused and unhappy when they are allowed to do what they know is wrong. Try to remember: The

more teachers who were hard in his school life were those who were firm in establishing and enforcing rules. Communicate clearly to your children the rules that must be met, then ask questions as to whether he under-stood the rules.Do not accept being chal-lenged by your kid. Example "I do, I will not, or you shut up." Take action do not pretend to be deaf. Punishment: Deprivation of privileges. Always explain to children why the punishment.Do not punish your child for childish like, jumping, singing, running, dropping milk on the table very natural thing even among adults who have good coordination, especially with a child who is in the process of development their coordina-tion ( Nobody brakes something because they want to! Think about it! Be more toler-ant).Do not make a habit of punish-ing all the time, because it loses its mean-ing.Avoid making the same mistakes your parents committed and made you unhappy "Wise is the man that learns from the mis-takes of others. '(Unknown author).Never punish your child forcing him to do things they would like to do, example: Go read a page of the Bible. Avoid disciplining or fighting with your child as you are eating meals at the table. There should always be a harmonious atmo-sphere in the family at mealtimes.The child must learn to be grateful, you have to learn to value what you have and who re-ceives. Beware of excessive materialism, it diminishes the joy of receiving. Extracted from the book: The seven basic needs of the child. John M.Drescher, Publisher Christian world.

MACY’S LAUNCHES NEW PROGRAM IN CENTRAL FLORIDA TO LURE BRA-ZILIAN TOURISM TO THEIR DOORSWRITTEN BY: LAIZ RODRIGUES

One of the largest and most well-known American retailers on the planet has launched a new program to aggressively pursue Brazilian tourism in Orlando, Fl. Recently, Macy’s enlisted the help of Sean Slack (Owner of Marquis International) to drive Brazilian tourism into the doors of Macy’s locations. Sean’s efforts within the Brazilian community and bringing American and Brazilian businesses to-gether have been well documented with stores like Just For Feet, hhgregg, Toys R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, and the Sports Authority. We are confident Macy’s will be in good hands as evident from the pictures of re-ceiving their first buses last week. Macy’s also launched a major cam-paign within their stores “BRAZIL A MAGICAL JOURNEY” that focuses on the culture and beauty of Brazil via cloth-ing, cosmetics, accessories, and other items. They understand the growth and power of the world’s 5th largest economy, and have placed a full court press on cap-turing this business. On this particular day, we were invited to visit the store by VP Store Man-ager Macy’s Florida Mall Murray Tolkov Jr. and capture the unveiling of the pro-gram first hand. It was an immediate success receiving two AllTour buses and several people from all over Brazil. Brazilian music playing in the background, special coupons for the

groups in Portuguese, and even the entire friendly management staff made their way up front to greet all of the new pas-sengers, along with AllTour group Coor-dinator Marcio Russo, James Meassick Sales Manager, Cortney Whitlow, Jackie Aponte, and Mustafa Hovic. The fact that Macy’s is well known in Brazil helps the brand and will enhance the itineraries of all types of tour operators and agencies. Working with companies like All Tour of America and Suncoast USA and eventually several others, the steady stream of Brazilian tourism will flow. “Macy’s is only interested in working with the best, most respected companies and operators because quite frankly, they are the best.”, Sean said. “ They recognize the importance of har-nessing the power of the tourism indus-try, and will form partnerships within the tourism community that enhance their brand and allow for the passengers to en-joy a focused, genuine experience.” Eventually, the program could pos-sibly be expanded to include South Flori-da and New York as the growth curve will be very rapid heading into the peak sea-son in Orlando….July. “ I anticipate the response within the Brazilian tourism community will be quick and decisive, and the majority of operators will be contacting us soon to be a part of this exciting program.” As far as we could see, Macy’s has embraced the Brazilian culture and is well on their way to continuing as one of the best retailers on the planet. We wish them the best.

MACY'S lança novo pro-grama na Flórida Cen-tral para atrair turistas brasileiros ao seu estabe-lecimentoEscrito por: Laiz Rodrigues

Um dos maiores e mais conhecidos varejis-tas americanos do planeta, lançou um novo programa agressivo para obter o turismo brasileiro em Orlando, Fl.Atualmente, a Macy’s esta contando com a ajuda de Sean Slack (Proprietário da Mar-quis Internacional) para impulsionar o turismo brasileiro para dentro da Macy’s . O pensamento do Sean dentro da comu-nidade brasileira e de trazer empresas americanas e brasileiras em conjunto, isto têm sido bem documentado atraves de lojas como: Just For Feet, HHGregg, Toys R Us, Burlington’s Coat Factory e a Sports Authority . Estamos confiantes de que a Macy’s está em boas mãos, como é evidente a partir das fotos na qual registramos a gerencia da Macy’s ao receber os seus primeiros grupos de ônibus na semana passada. A Macy’s também lançou uma grande campanha dentro de suas lojas "BRASIL UMA VIA-GEM MÁGICA" que incide sobre a cultura e beleza do Brasil através de roupas, cos-méticos, acessórios e outros itens. Eles entendem o crescimento e poder da economia do Brasil (quinta maior do mun-do), e ter chamado uma imprensa local para a captura deste elo de negócios .Neste dia especial, fomos convidados a visitar a loja do Flórida Mall atraves do Sr. Murray Tolkov Jr. VP Store Manager e poder capturar a inauguração em primeira mão deste programa.Foi um sucesso ime-

diato ao receber dois ônibus da AllTour e turistas de todo o Brasil. Com música brasileira de fundo, cupons em português para os grupos, até mesmo gerentes do Macy’s, fizeram um encontro amigável à frente da loja para cumprimentar todos os turistas/clientes. Juntamente com o Co-ordenador de Grupos da AllTour Marcio Russo estavam: James Meassick Gerente de Vendas, CortneyWhitlow, Jackie Aponte e Mustafa Hovic.O fato da Macy’s ser bem conhecida no Brasil ajuda a reforçar os itinerários de muitas Operadoras Turísticas e Agências de Viagens. Trabalhando com empresas como AllTour of America, Suncoast USA, no futuro eventualmente várias outras, fara com que o fluxo constante de turismo brasileiro flua mais ainda."Macy’s esta trabalhando com as melhores e mais respeitadas empresas e operadoras, porque, francamente, eles são os melhores. ", disse Sean. "Eles reconhecem a importância de aproveitar o poder da indústria do turismo, e vai formar parcerias dentro da comunidade do turismo, que melhoram a sua marca e permite que os passageiros desfrutem de uma experiência, com foco genuíno."Eventualmente, o programa podera’ ser expandido para incluir o sul da Flórida e Nova York, com a curva de cresci-mento rápidamente se expandindo devido a alta temporada de Orlando em Julho."Eu antecipo que a resposta dentro da comunidade do turismo brasileiro vai ser rápida e decisiva, e a maioria dos opera-dores entrarao em breve em contato conos-co para poder fazer parte deste programa emocionante."Tanto quanto pudemos ver, a Macy’s tem abraçado a cultura brasileira e está bem no seu caminho para continuar como um dos melhores varejistas do pla-neta. Desejamos o melhor para todos.

O que fez o ORLANDO CITY a equipe que fez você realmente prosperar como DEFESA? A armação em torno de mim é a coisa mais importante. Todo mundo da Diretoria ate os trei-nadores, é um ambiente onde é fácil prosperar. Os técnicos são de nível superior e é divertido de jogar aqui. Esta organização tem sido grande para mim, des-de a assinatura ate onde estou agora. O Orlando realmente tem as ferramentas para ser o melhor clube e estou feliz por fazer parte dele. O que voce mais gosta jogando na Defesa? Eu joguei na defesa toda a minha vida. Se você estiver de-fendendo, você só precisa de um erro para permitir que você leve um GOL. Se acontecer de você ser um meio campo, você tem um pouco mais de liberdade de cometer um erro e continuar com o jogo. Meu pai incutiu em mim em uma idade muito jovem, que ofensa ganha jogos mas a defesa ganha campeona-

tos. Eu sempre quero ganhar campeonatos. É uma daquelas coisas, você odeia perder e ama vencer. Toda vez que você de-sistir de um objetivo é quase como um punhal no coração. Você nunca quer desistir de um objetivoQue objetivos pessoais você tem para o resto da temporada? É o mesmo que a cada dois anos. Eu quero ganhar todos os jogos sair em campo para com-petir. Como uma equipe, nos concentramos sempre no próx-imo jogo. Seja um jogo de Copa Aberta ou um jogo de finais- esse é o jogo mais importante para nós, o que esta para vir e’ sempre o mais importante.

Em julho uma frota de 10.000 Citibikes serão liberados nas ruas

de Manhatan e Brooklyn. Elas fazem parte de um novo programa de bici-cletas públicas financiado conjunta-mente pelo Citibank e Mastercard, que pagaram US $ 41 milhões e $ 6,5 milhões, respectivamente.

As bicicletas são fabricadas por uma firma sediada em Quebec

PBSC Urban Solutions, também conhecida como Bixi-que forneceu tambem os veículos para 10 pro-gramas semelhantes em cidades como Melbourne, Boston e Lon-dres. Eles foram concebidos pelo designer industrial Michel Dallaire junto com os engenheiros da fabri-cante de bicicletas Devinci. Juntos, eles resolveram criar uma máquina praticamente indestrutível, capaz de sobreviver ao assalto hidra-headed de abandono e vandalismo.

"Esta bicicleta é forte para o uso de somente uma pessoa", diz

Bruno Gauthier, engenheiro-chefe da Devinci. "É como um Hummer. É forte demais. Essa bicicleta é con-struído para a selva urbana".

Caracteristicas:SELIM- A altura ideal para montar

na Citibike que possui um-ta-manho-único para todos é de 5 "10", de acordo com Gauthier. Mas o selim aumenta e diminui para acomodar as pessoas de 4 "10" a 6 "5".

RACK- Bixi evitou a cesta. "Você verá que sua bolsa não ira caber

(na cesta)", diz Dallaire. "E elas ficam cheios de lixo (cesta). Ao utilizar um rack você tera mais flexibilidade."

CAMBIO DE MARCHAS- A bicicleta terá três velocidades.

Perguntado quão rápido ela pode andar, objetou Gauthier. "Não é uma bicicleta de corrida. (Isso é) como comparar um Porshe à um carro de família".

DESENHO-"Eu tentei fazê-la muito elegante", diz Dallaire.

"O quadro é um bumerangue. Este movimento dá a bicicleta uma ro-bustez visual e tambem eficaz robust-ez ".

COROA DO PEDAL - O eixo do pedal/corrente está protegido. "É

um dispositivo Shimano projetado para uma bicicleta de propriedade privada", diz Dallaire. "Nós tivemos que ter certeza que ninguém vai chu-tá-la".

Locomoção estilo N.Y.

In July a fleet of 10,000 Citibikes will be released on the streets of

Manhattan and Brooklyn. They are part of a new public bike program jointly funded by Citibank and MasterCard, who paid $ 41 mil-lion and $ 6.5 million, respectively. The bikes are manufactured by a firm based in Quebec PBSC Urban Solu-tions, also known as Bixi, which also provided 10 vehicles for similar pro-grams in cities like Melbourne, Bos-ton and London.

They were designed by industrial designer Michel Dallaire with

engineers Devinci bicycle manufac-turer. Together they decided to create a machine virtually indestructible, able to survive the assault of neglect and vandalism. "This bike is strong for the use of only one person," says Bruno Gauthier, chief engineer of the Devinci.

"It's like a Hummer. It is too strong. This bike is

built for the urban jungle."

Features:SADDLE-The ideal time to ride in Citibike which has one-size-fits-all is 5 '10 ", according to Gauthier. But the seat raises and lowers to accom-modate people from 4 '10 "to 6" 5 ".RACK-Bixi avoided the basket. "You'll find that your bag will not fit (the basket)," says Dallaire. "And they are full of rubbish (basket). By using a rack you will have more flex-ibility."Shiftgear-The bike has three speeds. Asked how fast it can walk, objected Gauthier. "It's not a racing bike. (This is) like comparing a Porsche to a family car."DESIGN-"I tried to make it very elegant," says Dallaire. "The picture is a boomerang. This move gives the bike a visual robustness and ruggedness also effective."THE PEDAL CROWN - The pedal axle / chain is protected. "It is a de-vice designed for a Shimano bike private property," says Dallaire. "We had to make sure that nobody is go-ing to kick it."

For more than 20 years, NIKE has placed at its core a commitment to providing athletes with the most advanced product innovations. NIKE creates product to help promote superior athletic performance and lower environmental impact as part of our Nike Better World ethos. Innovation is embedded into the design and development process from the very beginning, addressing use of environmentally preferred materials, reduction of waste and eliminating toxics.NIKE has revolutionized sustainability in performance product. NIKE’s vision is closed loop, which takes materials from an old shoe or an old shirt, grinds them up and transforms them into new products. Continuously explor-ing ways to incorporate sustainability has led Nike to highlight two groundbreaking innova-tions: NIKE Flyknit and the expanded use of recycled polyester in performance apparel.

NIKE Flyknit: NIKE debuts the NIKE Flyknit Racer and NIKE Flyknit Trainer, lightweight shoe. NIKE believes that to design for the future, we need to create products in a com-pletely new way today.

Our innovation is in the NIKE Flyknit manu-facturing process; NIKE uses only the materi-als needed to knit the upper of a shoe. Tradi-tional footwear manufacturing processes use a number of materials and cuts. NIKE Flyknit reduces waste using special yarns, knitted together to create one lightweight, formfitting upper.

Recycled Polyester: Utilizing recycled PET plastic bottles, NIKE designs superior perfor-mance apparel. Reclaimed, discarded plastic bottles are melted down to produce new yarn and converted into fabric to create NIKE’s high performance apparel. This process saves raw materials and reduces energy consump-

tion by an estimated 30% compared to manu-facturing virgin polyester.

This year, NIKE expands its use of this semi-nal technology, crafting the fabric of the Nike Hyper Elite basketball shorts from 100 percent recycled polyester, while the jersey fabric is made from approximately 96 percent recycled polyester. The uniforms are made using an average of 22 recycled plastic bottles.

In the global football arena, NIKE introduces national team kits made using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles per kit: shorts fabric is made with 100 percent recycled polyester, and jersey fabric is made with approximately 96 percent recycled polyester. The creation of this year’s kit used approximately 16 million recycled plastic bottles, enough to cover 28 soccer pitches.

Additionally, fabric for the Nike Pro TurboS-peed is made with approximately 82 percent recycled polyester, using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles.

The principles of Nike Better World are serv-ing the needs of the athlete and the planet at the same time.

Nossa inovação é no processo de fabricação NIKE Flyknit; NIKE usa apenas os materiais necessários para tecer a parte superior de um sapato. Processos de fabricacao de calçado tradicional usam um número de materiais e cortes. NIKE Flyknit reduz o desperdício de usar fios especiais, tecidos em conjun-to para criar um leve, formfitting superior.

Poliéster reciclado: Utilizando garrafas de plástico reciclado de PET, NIKE projeta vestuário de desempenho superior. Recuperados, garrafas plásticas descartadas são derretidos para produzir fios novos e convertidos em tecido para criar roupas da Nike, de alto desempenho. Este processo poupa maté-rias-primas e reduz o consumo de energia em cerca de 30% em comparação à fabricação de poliéster virgem.

Este ano, a NIKE expande seu uso desta tecnologia seminal, elaborar o teci-do da bermuda de basquete Hiper Nike Elite de 100 por cento poliéster re-ciclado, enquanto o tecido jersey é feita a partir de aproximadamente 96 por cento de poliéster reciclado. Os uniformes são feitas utilizando uma média de 22 garrafas plásticas recicladas.

Na arena do futebol mundial, a NIKE apresenta kits equipes nacionais fei-tos com uma média de 13 garrafas plásticas recicladas por kit:O tecido da-bermuda é feito com 100 por cento poliéster reciclado e o tecido jersey é feita com cerca de 96 por cento de poliéster reciclado. A criação do kit deste ano usou aproximadamente 16 milhões de garrafas plásticas recicladas, o suficiente para cobrir 28 campos de futebol.

Além disso, o tecido para o Pro Nike TurboSpeed é feita com cerca de 82 por cento de poliéster reciclado, utilizando uma média de 13 garrafas plásticas recicladas.

Os princípios da Nike Mundo Melhor estão servindo as necessidades do atleta e do planeta, ao mesmo tempo.

The all-new Undefeated for Converse Jack Purcell Collection for Summer 2012 – The first time Undefeated has collaborated with Converse on the Jack Purcell shoe. Specialty retailer Undefeated is globally recognized for its sport inspired identity and attitude and worked closely with Converse to create a Converse First String, limited-edition summertime Jack Purcell collection.

“We are excited to collaborate with Undefeated for the first time on the Jack Purcell shoe. The Jack Purcell began as a humble badminton shoe, yet it has evolved to symbolize confi-dence, wit and style— likewise, Unde-feated is rooted in sport and has come to represent its own brand of smart, refined street style that is recognized globally,” says Magnus Wedhammar, General Manager Footwear, Con-verse.

An American classic, the Jack Purcell shoe came on the scene a little over 75 years-ago and quickly became a court and campus classic. Soon after, young rebels of 1950s Hollywood cemented the shoe as an icon of style. For the Summer 2012 Undefeated for Con-verse Jack Purcell collection, Unde-feated made subtle design changes to the iconic shoe, beginning with the addition of stylishly simple red and navy racing stripes to their rubber

rands to give the shoes a sporty, clas-sic Converse look and feel. Undefeat-ed leaves the signature Jack Purcell toe-smile intact and adds summery terrycloth to the lining and foot beds, and a subtle Undefeated branded heel pull-tab to the heel. The collection features three colors of the iconic sil-houette with understated styling and just the right amount of Undefeated attitude.

“Converse’s heritage is the inspiration for these shoes,” says James Bond and Eddie Cruz, co-founders of Unde-feated. “We were excited to work with Converse again and the Jack Purcell model for the first time. We wanted to honor the original with minimal de-tails to give them just a touch of Un-defeated attitude.”

Converse First String is a limited-edition collection that celebrates craftsmanship, authenticity and col-laboration at the highest level. The Undefeated for Converse Jack Purcell collection will be available in limited quantities, beginning on May 25, 2012 at Undefeated stores and select Converse First String retailers glob-ally. The collection offerings include the shoe in black, white or red canvas uppers, with the red version available exclusively at Undefeated stores. All shoes will retail for a MSRP of $55 and will be available in unisex sizing 3 – 13.

Mission to the Amazon - First Baptist Orlando

MISSIONARY MISSION TO THE AMAZONFIRST BAPTIST ORLANDO.Life becomes simple by choice or by destina-tion, in this case we are going to tell you a story. Pastor Josh Blackwell from First Bap-tist Orlando, traveled on a mission to the Amazon Jungle to visit a few tribes that are concentrated on that area, his mission had 10 members.It is important to say that if you have never been in that area or visited, the impact that causes is really great, sometimes overwhelm-ing.In order to enter the reserve the Mission needed to get authorization from entities that are in charge of all the Tribes in the area, so there is no doubt that you are there to help and not to just enjoy the environment or take pictures.The trip was made possible by a mission called AMOR ( Amazon Mission Organiza-tion) www.amor-brasil.org their main objective is:

“The Amazon Mission Organization was created and exists primarily to proclaim

the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ to the peo-ples living in remote regions of the Amazon Valley of Brazil – Salvation is possible only in the power of the Holy Spirit working through the presentation of the Gospel. AMOR ful-fills this charge of proclamation as we help meet the physical and emotional needs of the people as well. Over the past quarter century, AMOR has been about developing genuine, loving relationships with all we’ve come in contact with along the rivers, streams and lakes of the Valley. We take groups of volun-teers from many different evangelical back-grounds. We choose not to engage in de-nominational differences. Instead, we lay all dogma aside for the sake of sharing the only Word capable of changing lives – the simple, pure Gospel Message of Jesus Christ.”Returning to Josh’s Mission we will have the opportunity to check his point of view, about

what he saw and lived.The first notion was that he was in a complete-ly different surrounding. The Amazon Forest is responsible for 20% of the oxygen in the world, covers 4 million square Kilometers of land, and holds the title of biggest rain forest in the world.The Mission is located in the Amazon River the second most extensive and deepest river in the world, and during the rain season changes dramatically in volume and extension, affect-ing the entire area.The tribes that live around it are subjected to all these changes and these facts do not make it any easier, but a lot harder, although with a lot of compensationsThe rich soil, and vast land gives them the op-portunity to cultivate a lot more than we do, while we are only growing 200 different types of fruits they have a variety of 3000 of which 2000 are of possible consumptionMore than 10 Million species of plants, in-sects, and animals live in this forest, and have the opportunity to face all this grandiosity, only takes you closer to the notion of GOD, and his creation, and how powerful it really is. To see the ones that are still facing life in a way we could never endure and that in a way is also a miracle.In 1500 when Brazil was discovered, it is cal-culated by approximation that 6 to 9 Million Indians inhabited the area, when the Colo-nization started in 1900, by Holland, Spain, and Portugal, they were downsized to 1 Mil-lion. Today there are 200 Indian tribes and their population total an amount of 250.000 Indians From these groups today, almost 70 tribes have never touched or seen civilization. All these tribes are under the protection of the Brazilian Government and FUNAI The National Indian Foundation. The Mission visited the Satere Maue Community, they cre-ated the Guarana culture, the City of Maue is considered the Guarana City. Six Communi-ties were visited in this mission,

Santa Maria (7 baptisms, including 2 de Coruatuba)São BentoVila DuguinhaNova EsperançaMequilesNova Jerusalém Pastor Josh was deeply touched by the baptism of 7 members of the com-munity. Moments like these really go your heart, considering that some of the people don't speak Portuguese, just their dialect, the number of Bibles is limited, and still the mission reached its purpose of bringing the word, sharing the knowledge that GOD exists and needs to be accepted in your life.A simple life, a life where the kids al-ways play soccer outside, everyday at 4 PM, like a ritual, there is no use of video games or the exposure to violent images or stimulation . The soccer field according to Pastor Josh is in great conditions, they care more for the field than to the grass that grown around them. Nobody works crazy long sched-ules, they eat what they grow, and that is enough, no stress, no complaints, and life is fulfilling, everybody helps each other, because there is time to care . The great life adventure is lived the way it was meant to be, no distrac-tions to take you away from the true purpose of life. Love one another.Many of us choose not to live a reli-gious life because we are afraid of what

that may bring. Maybe a difficult life with tribulations, the impossibility of adventure yourself into the unknown, or even afraid or having a boring life, but this is not really the full truth, ac-cepting Jesus, will create a whole new dimension in your life, where the ad-venture of a life guided by the father will fulfill your adventurous spirit. There is no life meaning without God in your heart, the need to serve, and to live for a greater purpose is exactly what we need to live our adventure.It is not about the emotion, but the devotion, a life filled with Faith is like the tree that will give the perfect fruits. Think about that.

John 5:4for everyone born of God over-comes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world,even our faith.Photos by Photographer Bob Smith

The 2012 Hispanic Business Confer-ence at the Orange County Conven-tion Center was a great tool to all the business participants that had the opportunity to learn about different topics of the moment like market-ing, business and social media,how to reach the Hispanic Market, how to help your employees excel, and more . Also the opportunity to par-ticipate in a great breakfast and lunch networking opportunity, with speakers as David Ruiz, President of UPS Florida, Elizabeth Chalas Ber-man President of Continental food & Beverage, Mark Brewer President & CEO Community Foundation of Central Florida. Senator Bill Nel-son, among other great speakers.The Brazilian American Cham-ber participated, and for the first time a more relevant participation. Not only because it promoted the Hispanic Consumer & Business Expo in the Brazilian Community, bringing more Brazilian Compa-nies to the Expo but also because this new Board is all over the Com-

munity promoting the Brazilian Chamber in Central Florida, try-ing to improve their involvement with business owners but also in the Community. The highlight of the day was the Senator,with a very powerful and profound speech.Democratic Senator Bill Nel-son said, "when I was in space, from there on the first day I used to peak and look for Kennedy Space Center, on the second day I looked for home, on the third day in space i looked at Earth our planet and I thought this is home".This is the perfect sense of the ex-pression look outside the box.We are all conected, the Earth, Nature, Animals, ocean rivers,everything we do has a conse-quence and we all suffer them, men kind needs to be more global more concient of this grandiosity It is not everyday that we have such a great opportunity to learn from peo-ple's experiences and milestones but this lesson I will carry with me forever.
