AboutUS

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela

From My Desk This time we fell short on courage. The world moment was in Paris when we should be in Brazil, laying nature down in its death bed. Little by little as an agonizing frail being, Nature slowly gets forgotten, in the corner of our minds. We need to fight, we need to put busy on the side an press the nerve, no matter how it hurts, until we have a better scenario. Minas Gerais-Brazil hit with a shot in the heart, bleeding chemicals, bad blood, metal, left over poison everywhere and we watch, considering the Paris Flag instead. Not a fish, bird, dog, home, person, family, nothing was forgotten, the water took it all, like a plague, angry, paying back the constant abuse. Vengeance! And we sit, waiting, because this time the negative is the lack of action, the head turned to Europe, the fear of dying the death from far away, instead of the one knocking at the door. We need to hurt this time, to feel, to take nature’s side, to breath clean air while we can, because if we keep up there won’t be anything left to breath. Have a great Month!

CONTO BRASILEIRO O ARTISTA

André Luiz Santos - Fica olhando pra todos os lados e desenhando, causando alvoroço. Tira a atenção dos alunos da aula.

Murilo sempre foi uma criança esquisita. Os pais já tinham levado o menino a vários especialistas.

The minister of agriculture, a member of a party that defends landowners' interests, is one of the law’s main supporters. A group of Brazilian lawmakers approved Tuesday the draft of a constitutional amendment that would transfer responsibility for the demarcation of Indigenous land from the government to Congress.

al Amendment PEC 215 poses a threat to both Indigenous survival and the environment.

Under the current proposal, there are currently 78,000 square kilometers that could be opened up to agricultural exploitation.

#World Indigenous Games

Ahead of the Summer Olympics in 2016, Brazil is host to a new international event - the World Indigenous Games, withcontests including a hockey-like game using a ball of fire. Competitors from ethnic groups in Brazil, also from as far afield as New Zealand and the Philippines, take each other on in events from tug-of-war and log-carrying, as well as soccer and athletics. Brazil, home to nearly 900,000 indigenous people, has held a dozen Indigenous Games for its own natives since 1996 and decided to expand the games into an international event. The inaugural games take place in Palmas, the capital of the northern state of Tocantins, gathering over 2,000 participating indigenous athletes from 30 countries. Some of the sports contested are unique. They include a type of lacrosse (rokra) using sticks and coconuts, as well as a variety of soccer (xikunahity) using only the head to move the ball.

The Museum Of Tomorrow-Rio de Janeiro-Brazil

TheTomorrow Museum is a museum of different sciences. An environment of ideas, explorations and questions about a time of great change in which we live and the different ways that open for the future. It is not a date on the calendar, it is not a place where we will arrive. It is a construction in which we participate all as people, citizens, members of the human species. And why a Museum of Tomorrow? Because we live in a new era in which the whole of human activity has become a global reach force. We are able to intervene on the scale of molecules and continents. We handle atoms and create artificial organisms. Diverted the course of large rivers, forests changed, we influence the atmosphere, we transform the climate. We inhabit a planet that has been extensively modified by our actions. Tomorrows that will be generated by our own choices? The Museum of Tomorrow offers a narrative about how we live and shape the next 50 years. A journey towards possible future, from great questions that humanity has always been done. Where we came from? Who we are? Where are we? Where are we going? How we want to go? Guided by ethical values of Sustainability and Living, essential to our civilization, the Museum also seeks to promote innovation and disseminate the advances in science and publish the vital signs of the planet. A Museum to expand our knowledge and transform our way of thinking and acting. The Museum of Tomorrow is one of Rio de Janeiro City Hall initiatives, designed and conducted in conjunction with the Roberto Marinho Foundation, an institution linked to the Globo Group and Banco Santander as Master Sponsor. It also includes the BG Brazil as sponsor and support of the State Government, through the Secretary of State for Environment, and the Federal Government, through the Financier of Studies and Projects (Finep).

The institution is part of the network of museums of the City Department of Culture. The Management Development Institute (GDI), the social organization of culture without winning profit bidding promoted by the City Hall, is responsible for managing the Museum.

O Museu do Amanhã é um museu de ciências diferente. Um ambiente de ideias, explorações e perguntas sobre a época de grandes mudanças em que vivemos e os diferentes caminhos que se abrem para o futuro. O Amanhã não é uma data no calendário, não é um lugar aonde vamos chegar. É uma construção da qual participamos todos, como pessoas, cidadãos, membros da espécie humana. E por que um Museu do Amanhã? Porque vivemos em uma nova era, em que o conjunto da atividade humana tornou-se uma força de alcance planetário. Somos capazes de intervir na escala de moléculas e de continentes. Manejamos átomos e criamos microrganismos artificiais. Desviamos o curso de grandes rios, alteramos florestas, influenciamos a atmosfera, transformamos o clima. Habitamos um planeta que vem sendo profundamente modificado por nossas ações. Que amanhãs serão gerados a partir de nossas próprias escolhas? O Museu do Amanhã oferece uma narrativa sobre como poderemos viver e moldar os próximos 50 anos. Uma jornada rumo a futuros possíveis, a partir de grandes perguntas que a Humanidade sempre se fez. De onde viemos? Quem somos? Onde estamos? Para onde vamos? Como queremos ir? Orientado pelos valores éticos da Sustentabilidade e da Convivência, essenciais para a nossa civilização, o Museu busca também promover a inovação, divulgar os avanços da ciência e publicar os sinais vitais do planeta. Um Museu para ampliar nosso conhecimento e transformar nosso modo de pensar e agir. O Museu do Amanhã é uma iniciativa da Prefeitura do Rio, concebido e realizado em conjunto com a Fundação Roberto Marinho, instituição ligada ao Grupo Globo, tendo o Banco Santander como Patrocinador Master. Conta ainda com a BG Brasil como mantenedora e o apoio do Governo do Estado, por meio da Secretaria de Estado do Ambiente, e do Governo Federal, por intermédio da Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (Finep). A instituição faz parte da rede de museus da Secretaria Municipal de Cultura. O Instituto de Desenvolvimento de Gestão (IDG), organização social de cultura sem fins lucrativos vencedora da licitação promovida pela Prefeitura do Rio, é responsável pela gestão do Museu.

Mud from a dam that burst at an iron mine in Brazil in November, killing 12 people and polluting an important river, is toxic, said the United Nations’ human rights Agency

show the mud released in the dam burst, made up mostly of water, iron oxides and silica or quartz, presents no danger to human health and does not contain water contaminants.

While iron and manganese levels in the mud are above normal, Samarco said, they are below dangerous levels. Biologists have been The statement contradicts claims by Samarco, the mine operator at shocked by the impact of the burst dam, which Brazil’s government the site of the rupture, that the water and mineral waste contained has called the country’s worst-ever environmental disaster. by the dam are not toxic. The mud has killed thousands of fish as it flows through the Rio Doce, the river which connects the mineral-rich state of Minas Gerais with Espirito Santo on the Atlantic coast. The 60 million cubic meters of mine waste, equivalent to 25,000 Olympic swimming pools, cut off drinking water for a quarter of a million people. The dense orange sediment has now reached the ocean. The UN statement criticized the response of the companies and the Brazilian government as “insufficient,” saying, “The government and companies should be doing everything within their power to prevent further harm.”

Citing “new evidence,” the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a statement the residue “contained high levels of toxic heavy metals and other toxic chemicals.” The agency did not identify the studies that were the basis for the evidence or say who conducted them.The owners of Samarco, Brazil’s Vale SA and Australia’s BHP Billiton, said they are taking every measure possible to provide emergency assistance to those affected by the dam break and to reduce the social and economic impacts of the disaster.

Samarco

MARIANA, Brazil (Reuters) - Brazil’s president slapped preliminary fines of 250 million reais ($66.2 million) against a mine in the country’s southeast where two dams burst, killing nine people and coating a twostate area with mud and mine waste. The fines, announced after President Dilma Rousseff flew over the affected area, come as federal prosecutors announced plans to work with state prosecutors to investigate possible crimes that could have ”We are determined to hold responsible those who are responsible for contributed to the disaster at the mine, jointly owned by two of the world’s biggest mining com- this,” Rousseff told reporters, citing the two multinationals by name, as well as their joint venture, Samarco Minerais SA. panies, BHP Billiton Ltd and Vale SA Rousseff said the fines, imposed by Brazil’s environmental regulator IBAMA for violations that include river pollution and damages to urban areas where water service has been suspended, could be followed by penalties from other federal or state agencies.The top government lawyer is working with IBAMA to sue the mine owners for up to $1 billion in environmental damages in civil court, a senior administration official told Reuters.

The moves by federal officials toughen the response of a national government, now faced with a disaster affecting two states, that until recently had left much of the official reaction in the hands of the state government of Minas Gerais, a global mining hub and site of the dams. Earlier on Thursday, the country’s mining minister said the government would conduct an audit of other dams in the sector.</On Wednesday, Rousseff, a native of Minas Gerais, spoke with the chief executives of BHP and Vale, who held a press conference earlier last week to apologize for the disaster and promised to meet their obligations as the mine’s owners.

SpaceX Falcon 9

The Launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket By Joe Skipper A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Florida on Monday with a payload of communications satellites before the reusable main-stage booster turned around, soared back to Cape Canaveral and landed safely near its launch pad in a dramatic spaceflight first. The successful mission, capped by delivery of all 11 satellites to orbit for launch customer ORBCOMM Inc &lt;ORBC.O>, unfolded in just over 30 minutes and marked a pivotal reversal of fortunes for privately owned Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, founded by high-tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. It was the first flight for his California-based company since a rocket failure in June that destroyed a cargo ship being carried on a resupply mission bound for the International Space Station. The upgraded, 23-story-tall Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 8:29 p.m. EST/0129 GMT, with the nine-engine suborbital main stage returning 10 minutes later to a landing site about 6 miles south of its launch pad. The upper-stage booster continued its ascent to Earth orbit with its payload. Musk has said the ability to return

his rockets to Earth so they can be refurbished and reflown would slash his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operational costs in the burgeoning and highly competitive private space launch industry.

ARTEGON With my Eye After Artegon was opened, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visit right away. We wanted to wait and see how it would turn out, the complete idea, the concept of art in a different environment. Last week, in a moment to spare, I stopped by Artegon and was really happy with what we found. It is large, spacious, clean and modern. Leaves a lot for the imagination, in how it is going to evolve from here. The innovative way the stores were put together., style, merchandise and unique products which are not the main target for either tourist or avid buyers. Artegon requires a different consumer, and should evolve into not only art but architecture, and innovative design options. I had the feeling I was in the future, but there is a place for the antique and the new, a contrast you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere. Art deserved it, but not only sculpture and painting, dance and music should be a part of it. Artegon should be a place to preserve culture, save it for the people to enjoy and revive. We were happy and relieved to see how out of the ordinary it is, and how much it will be enjoyed by people who like these experiences. Artegon felt like tomorrow. There is so much more Artegon can reach, we hope it will become all of it. Artegon Address: 5250 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819

brazil holds 38% of solar bears fanbase

The Orlando Solar Bears, proud affiliate of the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs and AHL's Toronto Marlies, are proud to announce the release of their International Tourism Report and the launch of a new Hotel and Lodging Concierge Program. In their first three seasons of ECHL competition, the Solar Bears hosted over 733,600 fans and have cultivated a world-wide fanbase that has seen the team host fans from 42 countries outside the United States. Notably, the four nations with the largest volume of out-of-market online ticket purchases includes Brazil (38%), the United Kingdom (30%), Canada (5%) and Australia (5%). During the 2014-15 season, the Solar Bears hosted the 2015 ECHL All-Star Classic presented by Visit Orlando. The All-Star Classic was part of a week-long event for the Solar Bears, in which the team hosted over 36,000 fans - many from outside Central Florida - resulting in $4.2 million in economic impact. The $4.2 million will be added to the projected $76 million in economic impact the Solar Bears will generate in their first five seasons. Last season the Solar Bears partnered with their parent club, the Toronto Maple Leafs, to promote the All-Star event in the Toronto market. The online promotion was the second largest in Maple Leafs history; through social media, traditional media and in-arena exposure at the Air Canada Centre, the online promotion generated 3.84 million impressions. According to Visit Orlando, the Orlando market hosted 1.17 million Canadian visitors this past year. As a result of the success, the Leafs will run the promotion again this season in collaboration with Visit Orlando.

"After looking back on our first three seasons we were pleased with the volume of international ticket buyers we've entertained in that time. It demonstrates we're a microcosm of the world's number-one tourist destination," Solar Bears President/CEO Jason Siegel said. "It's not unusual to see two to three-dozen requests via social media per week from international tourists actively planning a trip to Orlando including a Solar Bears game in their travel plans."

Lodging Concierge Program so that hoteliers have the ability to sell tickets directly to their customers. Already, more than 100 hotels have signed on to participate with us," Siegel added. "We've experienced more than 100% growth in international sales year-over-year since our first season, and anticipate continued aggressive growth thanks in part to our relationship with Visit Orlando and continued emphasis on social and digital media which proved in the case of the Maple Leafs, to propel the Orlando Solar Bears into the homes of "When I traveled to Australia, one of the first things I looked into international hockey enthusiasts." planning was attending an Australian Rules Football game," Solar Bears Chairman Joe Haleski said.

The report was designed by BubbledIt, an Orlando based strategic partnership formed between the leadership of Prismatic and Southern Strategy Group. Infographics were used to showcase the team's growing fanbase from 42 countries and its relationship with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The volume of out-of-market online ticket sales boosts Orlando tourism, creates local jobs, and benefits more than 400 local and non-profit organizations. This piece will be used for print and presentations by team leadership.

Orlando Magic’s STUFF Honored as One of the Best Mascots in Sports By Dan Savage, OrlandoMagic.com There’s no question that STUFF is one of the best mascots that sports has ever seen. Just this season alone, he’s gone toe-to-toe with Robin Lopez, landed Olympic-worthy backflips off ladders and terrorized opposing fans far and wide. But now, STUFF is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Gameops.com recently named the Magic’s loveable green dragon as one of 2015’s top three mascots in all of sports, a field that included characters from both professional and college ranks. “While many mascots are cutting and pasting standards, STUFF continues to innovate and create,” the site explained. “In the NBA, where there is a wealth of mascot talent (he stands) out in the crowded field.” Standing out has never been a problem for STUFF, who makes drilling half-court backwards shots look routine. “STUFF also continues to showcase a wide range of skills, from gymnastics to dance to comedy,” Gameops.com added. They must have done their research. After all, how many mascots could hop on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, battle Hashtag in a dance off and emerge as the people’s champion? Very few, if any. That’s why STUFF is at the top of any mascot list, including this one.

to become more active and devote time to their various causes and issues relating to the ir respective communities.

Khalid, how do you see this great recognition? Is this something you expected one of 125 most influential in orlando?

How can you relate to the fact that sometimes it is easier to be recognized by other communities than your own?

In my case I consider all the above communities are my own as Worked and lived in 11 countries and visited over 43, learning 9 languages. during my career in International Banking. I have a good understanding of other cultures, values and their business practices. As for business, it is a well known fact that people like to do business with realtors from other communities as they feel their confidential information will not leak out to their own community members.

I have always been very passionate about my public and community service and this has been in the family genes as my father was awarded the Order of the British Empire by the Queen in the UK in 1966 for his public service to the various communities. So to answer your question I did not expect this recognition but I am very humbled and honored to be recognized for my commuTell us about why you came to America. nity and professional services. I moved here from the UK as I wanted my children to be educated in the American school system as it is more open and the children graduate with great confidence about job opportunities. I also wanted to have my own business after working for major corporations for 17 years, in Europe, Africa and the Middle East countries. .On both counts the USA offers the opportunities that no other country can even come close in giving the individuals opportunities to develop their full entrepreneurial potential. Next year you will take the presidency at the Asian American Chamber, what are your plans? Are you an innovator? Do you think this recognition will influence the way you are seen in the community?

When you talk about the community, I think you mean the various communities as I am actively involved in the Asian American Chamber of Commerce, as their next President as well as the Puerto Rican,Moroccan, Moslem and the Arab communities in various leadership roles. This will enhance and encourage others

My main focus will be on membership drive of small businesses.Unfortunately there is a perception that a Chamber is some elite group for elite people, however as you know it is forum for all members to have an opportunity to network and build a trust to take their business to the next level. To be successful in life you need, good education, hard work, professional connections, which we will promote to make our Chamber forum for promoting Asian American businesses.

“WONDER” at the Ren Smithsonian Amer “WONDER,” the debut exhibition at the newly renovated Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, celebrates the opening of the historic building with immersive installations by nine leading contemporary artists—Jennifer Angus, Chakaia Booker, Gabriel Dawe, Tara Donovan, Patrick Dougherty, Janet Echelman, John Grade, Maya Lin and Leo Villareal. “WONDER” will open Nov. 13 and will be on view for six months. The exhibition is organized by Nicholas R. Bell, The Fleur and Charles Bresler Curator-in-Charge of the Renwick Gallery. The artists featured in “WONDER” were selected for their ability to transform spaces through installation and for their focus on process and materials. Each was invited to select a gallery in the Renwick while the building was closed for a major two-year renovation and then create an installation inspired by that space. “The Renwick was the first purpose-built art museum in the United States, intended to exhibit American art and to celebrate American genius,” said Betsy Broun,

porary Artists Transform Nation’s elebration of Reopening The Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. “For the next chapter in its 156-year history, we will showcase exemplary artists like these nine who are dissolving the boundaries that once existed between craft, art and design. ‘WONDER’ rededicates this landmark museum to the future of art.” While the nine artists work in strikingly different media, they are connected by a shared interest in materiality and the labor-intensive creation of objects by hand in a digital age. Their works are created by exploring the potential of unlikely materials and utilizing both traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology. The resulting installations are expressions of process, labor and materials that are grounded in our everyday world, but which combine to produce awe-inspiring results.

“The concept of ‘wonder’—that moment of astonishment in the face of something new and unknown that transports us out of the everyday—is deeply intertwined with how we experience art,” said Bell. “These nine artists are masters of constructing works that startle us, overwhelm us and invite us to marvel—to wonder—at their creation. These elements matter in the context of this museum, devoted for more than four decades to the skilled working of materials in extraordinary ways.” On the first floor, visitors will encounter works by Dawe, Donovan and Dougherty. Dawe’s textile-based installation is made from thousands of strands of embroidery thread, all hung by hand, which appear as waves of color and light sweeping from floor to ceiling. Donovan’s towers are constructed from hundreds of thousands of index cards that have been individually glued together to form irregular, looming spires. Dougherty’s enormous pods of woven willow osiers seem to dance and sway through the rear gallery. Maya Lin, Folding the Chesapeake, 2015. Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Photo by Ron Blunt. Works by Angus, Booker, Echelman, Grade, Lin and Villareal will be installed on the second floor. Angus covers gallery walls in spiraling, geometric designs reminiscent of wallpaper or textiles but made using specimens of brightly colored insects. Booker works with discarded rubber tires, splicing and weaving them into an enormous labyrinth. Echelman explores volumetric form without solid mass, overtaking the museum’s famed Grand Salon with a suspended, handwoven net surging across its 100-foot length. Grade uses 500,000 pieces of reclaimed cedar to reconstruct a hemlock tree approximately the same age as the Renwick’s building, based on a complete plaster cast he made of the tree in situ in the Cascade Mountains. Lin’s deluge of green marbles flows across the floor and up walls, recalling the flow of the Chesapeake Bay as part of her investigation into the fluidity of natural forms in her artworks. Villareal’s installation—320 steel rods embedded with 23,000 LEDs programmed to display a code written and manipulated by the artist into endless variations—will be mounted above the Renwick’s Grand Staircase. The exhibition will close in two phases to allow for the reinstallation of the museum’s permanent collection. The second-floor galleries will close May 8, 2016, and the first-floor galleries will close July 10, 2016.

ALTERNATIVE BREAKFAST

This past May’s massive avian flu outbreak and the resulting egg shortage left many of us scrambling for breakfast alternatives. Those who don’t eat meat yet rely on eggs for protein were particularly hard-hit by this deficit. So, too, are fans of the fast and nutritious simplicity of cracking open a soft- or hard-boiled egg first thing in the morning.

ga-3-rich kippers. Known as the king of the English breakfast, the kipper is the mildest of all smoked herring. It has starred in British breakfasts since the mid 19th century. Cooked and then served on buttered toast, kippers are an inexpensive yet nutritious way to kick off the day. A 2-ounce serving has 14 grams of protein.

To them and anyone wondering how to keep protein in their breakfasts without the use of eggs or meat, I suggest trying these global dishes.

Gravlax

RugbrÃ A staple of Danish cuisine, rugbrÃ¸d is a hearty, rectangular-shaped, oatand seed-flecked brown bread. Although usually featured in smorrebrÃ¸d or an open-faced sandwich, it also makes an appearance on the breakfast table. When served with cheese, smoked fish, fruit preserves or even on its own, rugbrÃ¸d offers a filling and protein- and fiber-rich start to any day. It contains as much as 9 grams of protein in each slice. Cheese Imagine you’re in continental Europe and do as the Europeans do: Indulge in some cheese with your dawn coffee or tea. High-protein cheeses include such familiar favorites as Parmesan, goat, mozzarella, Gruyere and cheddar. One ounce of these cheeses provides between 8 grams and 11 grams of protein. Pair your morning cheese with slices of rugbrÃ¸d for an especially lavish treat. Kippers If you’re fond of either the United Kingdom or seafood, you may want to start your day with a plate of savory, protein-filled, ome-

Not of fan of smoked foods but still crave a flavorful protein for your morning meal? Reach for Scandinavian gravlax. Similar to smoked fish, this salt-cured salmon was born from the need to store seafood in a time when refrigeration did not exist. Thanks to 24 to 48 hours of macerating in salt, sugar and dill, gravlax possesses a velvety texture and luxurious taste. It also has a long history of feeding the hungry in the wee hours of the day. A 2-ounce serving of gravlax contains 10 grams of protein.

ALTERNATIVE BREAKFAST Muesli Less common but no less delicious than granola, muesli consists of rolled oats, sliced nuts such as almonds and hazelnuts, dried apricots, raisins and bran, wheat germ or seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower. With 8 grams of protein in a 3-ounce serving, this Swiss creation provides a wholesome, protein-packed breakfast with every bite. If you want a bit more complexity, add fresh fruit or honey to your muesli. You can also replace the usual milk on your cereal with yogurt.

and decidedly British breakfast dish. With 10 grams of protein per half-cup, the low-calorie soybean curd known as tofu affords not only healthful eating but also versatile cooking. Its benign, mildly nutty taste goes with countless ingredients, plus it performs well with a variety of cooking techniques. It can be scrambled; baked in a quiche; sauted with vegetables, herbs or spices and served in a wrap; made into a spread; or pured in a smoothie. The uses of tofu are almost limitless.

Nuts and nut spreads

Beans on toast

People around the globe consume nuts and nut spreads as part of their morning routines. At 6 grams of protein per 1-ounce serving, almonds and pistachios rank the highest in protein, followed by walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews and Brazil nuts. As you may know, the familiar peanut is a legume and not a nut. Nonetheless, at 7 grams per 1-ounce serving, peanuts beat the aforementioned nuts for greatest protein content in a nut spread.

Cottage cheese

The British Council reports that the United Kingdom consumes more than 90 percent of the world’s canned baked bean supply. Thus, it’s not surprising that another quintessential English offering consists of baked beans spooned over toasted bread. Warm, tartly sweet and with 7 grams of protein per half-cup, beans on toast is a delectable

Part of both British and North American cuisines, cottage cheese is unripened and unpressed cow’s milk cheese. While mild in flavor, it is surprisingly rich in protein. A mere 4 ounces of cottage cheese contains 13 grams of protein. Pair this subtle food with pumpkin seeds or chopped dried apricots for an especially tasty and nourishing repast.
