Holidays

It is that time of the year again ! As everyone says, I can’t believe it is already here ! But it is, and one more time, even knowing we can’t spend too much we still splurge for a gift or more, just because.

It is important to remember the Spirit and the reason for all this, the kids love the gifts, the time to rip all those shine wrapped boxes with beautiful bows, and the surprise and excitement that brings, but it only takes a few moments a day to explain why.

The reason for the season is important as the happiness and joy that involves it, and for that requires a family effort to keep it alive and respected.

May everyone have a great Holiday, that the Lord give every and each one of you the peace, and courage to endure life, and endless love to spread around. We thank you for your visits, as we thank our clients for the business and trust.

Have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season !!!

18th Bradesco Seguros Christmas Tree: A Celebration of Life

Rio de Janeiro celebrates life in the inauguration of the world's largest floating Christmas tree Thousands of people congregated around the edge of Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon to watch the lighting up of the Tree, one of the three main events in the city, after Carnival and New Years Eve. Starting this Sunday, December 1st, the Tree will be lit daily until January 6th – Three Kings Day – according to tradition. Based on the theme “A Celebration of Life”, Bradesco Seguros Christmas Tree is now celebrating its 18th consecutive edition and highlights five elements: Water, Air, Forests, Humanity and Christmas. The spectacle of lights and colors starts with Water, where the blue tone pervades the Tree and figures of dolphins, seahorses, fish and starfish appear throughout its structure. Following this, gentle shades of warm colors provide the setting for a flight of birds, in reference to Air. A greenish tone adorned with branches and leaves serves as the backdrop for Forests. Lastly, in the spirit of “A celebration of life”, Humanity gathers round the Tree, to celebrate Christmas.

According to Alexandre Nogueira, Director of Bradesco Seguros, which has sponsored the Tree since its first edition in 1996, it is a moment of tremendous satisfaction. “It’s been very rewarding to participate in the Christmas of families since 1996, offering everyone this symbol of Christmas, which motivates people to celebrate the main values of the holiday season.

The 18th Bradesco Seguros Christmas Tree – the world's largest floating Christmas tree, according to the Guinness Book of Records – was inaugurated Saturday night, November 30th, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with a large free event featuring Brazilian singer, Simone, known worldwide.

The Bradesco Seguros Christmas Tree weighs 542 tons and is 85 meters high, the equivalent of a 28-story building. To illuminate the megastructure, 3.1 million tiny lights, 120,000 meters of luminous tubing and 100 LED reflectors were installed, in addition to the seven generators aboard.

Approximately 1,200 people – between producers, engineers and artists – are involved in the project.

On the website arvorenatalbradescoseguros.com. br – available in Portuguese, English and Spanish – you can find virtual cards of the Tree, the time line, videos and animations via YouTube. On the social networks, there is information about the Tree, entertainment and plenty of interactive activites.

At the Paris Salon de la Moto, open from 3 to 8 December, the new Vespa Primavera made its French début.

Unveiled a month ago at the world press at the Milan 2013 EICMA show, the Vespa Primavera is now being marketed all over Europe and – following a presentation in Hanoi – in Vietnam and Asian countries as well.

The first Vespa Primavera emerged in 1968. This was the year that witnessed a new awareness amongst the younger generation that suddenly wanted to yell for freedom.

Nimble, innovative lines, sparkling performance, easy and fun to ride – 45 years ago Vespa Primavera was a breath of fresh air. Small and quick, it was to become one of the longest running and most beloved models in the history of Vespa, equally popular with guys and girls.

Youthful, technologically groundbreaking and agile, with an eye to the protection of the environment, the new Vespa Primavera is the protagonist of its time, inheriting all the joy of life that go hand in hand with the story of a model that is a cult in the Vespa family tree.

With a radically new design, a new body in steel, new sizes, still agile but even more stable and comfortable, Vespa Primavera is reborn – powered by the ultra modern and ecological 50cc, 125cc 3 valve and 150cc 3 valve engines – appropriating some of the stylistic and technical solutions of Vespa 946, the most prestigious and technologically advanced model ever conceived.

The new Primavera is back at one of the brightest moments in Vespa history, the year that also marked the dĂŠbut of the Vespa 946, which was introduced to the American market with the launch that took place in Manhattan on 25 October after already having been introduced in Europe and Asia.

The record of new products offered is matched by sales records: from January to October 2013 the Vespa brand earmarked the exceptional number of more than 158,000 units sold worldwide, 20,600 vehicles more than the 137,000 sold in the first ten months of 2012.

This is further confirmation of the extraordinary progress the Vespa brand has made in the last ten years: from 2004, when overall sales reached 58,000 units, numbers rose to 100,000 in 2006, and 165,000 Vespas manufactured in 2012, a record which is about to be broken in 2013.

In less than ten years, from January 2004 to October of this year, a total of 1,207,827 Vespas have been sold worldwide.

Baby-G Steps Up Style With Holiday Timepieces

Casio Baby-G is growing up this holiday season with a new collection of timepieces inspired by its analog and digitally-dynamite “big brother,” GSHOCK. Fashioned with G-SHOCK’s hallmarks in toughness and durability, these watches will shock and delight wearers with a look of strength that is synonymous with Baby-G, but with a more sophisticated, edgier design to fit the lifestyles of the newest millennial tastemakers. These watches offer the perfect gift-able accessory for the holiday season.

This season, Baby-G is making a wrist wear statement with a three-fold debut of the BA110, BA111 and BA112 collections, which were designed to mirror G-SHOCK's most standout model – the XL GA110 line – in nine distinctly feminine colorways.

The BA110 model(s) feature a lightweight, glossy resin band in four fashionable hues of black, white, platinum and matte translucent, casting a spotlight on the large watch face brushed in striking gold, rose-gold and silver metallics. The BA111 collection adds three high-intensity, monochromatic models in pure white, champagne and gold.

Finally, the BA112 line showcases two jewel-toned gems in cobalt blue and magenta, complete with vibrant multi-colored dials.

Perfect for the multitasking mom, the trendsetting fashionista, the tech-savvy guru or any woman on your gift list, the timepieces are each equipped with a layered 3D metallic face, along with gear motif hands, which nod to the sophisticated styling cues of industrial design. Even in mirroring the aesthetic of G-SHOCK's GA110 model, the watch stays true to Baby-G's signature functionality and strength with a shock resistant, 100 meter water resistant structure, an LED backlight, 48-city world time, three multi-function alarms, 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer, and 12/24 hour time formats. This timepiece blends style and performance seamlessly, appealing to the on-trend types, functionover-fashion females, and those one in the same.

"This collection has been one of our most anticipated Baby-G launches and we expect our customers to embrace them this season," said Shigenori Itoh, Chairman & CEO of Casio America.

"G-SHOCK roll-outs have always been met with great reception, so taking that applauded design into our own product portfolio was an easy decision. The look is

strong, but chic and fashion-forward at the same time – just like our Baby-G loyalist!"

The BA110, BA111 and BA112 model(s) are available at select Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Macy's stores for an MSRP of $120. Please visit www.baby-g.com for more information.

For The Golf Lovers Heaven Golf Launches Innovative Golf Footwear System Designed for Maximum Comfort and Balance at Address.

Austrian-based Heaven Golf, Inc., is introducing a new golf footwear system in the United States designed to help improve balance and promote a more relaxed, dynamic walking motion while traversing the course.

The shoes will debut to U.S. golf retailers at the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show and are available online at : http://www.heaveningolf.com/ en/ Led by former Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) co-owner Hermann Oberschneider, Heaven Golf has developed its award-winning footwear concept through years of technical innovation and extensive feedback from the golf and health communities.

“The Heaven Golf shoe achieves those things while also helping to give you a better understanding of your balance position before your swing or while walking the course.”

The innovation in the Heaven Golf shoe is the Dynamic Balance Technology, a rounded outsole with an open chassis in place of the padded foam midsole found in conventional golf footwear. The unique outsole can help provide the golfer with a better awareness of balance and also promote a more fluid, natural walking motion that contributes to better overall health.

“Golfers spend a lot of money on being fitted for clubs, swing lessons and other instruction to improve their scores, but they forget about starting their swing from the proper position,” Oberschneider said. “The Heaven Golf system is designed to help create balance awareness before you pull the club away from the Introduced in Europe earlier ball, and it also makes walking this year, the patented footwear the course a more relaxed, dysystem has already garnered recnamic and enjoyable activity.” ognition for its innovation.

A Palavra e o Poeta Olá, amigos leitores!

Para os espiritualistas, o “desdobramento da alma” acontece quando o corpo físico vai ao descanso para recuperar as energias gastas durante suas atividades e a alma fica parcialmente liberta sem o implacável jugo do corpo, ainda que ligados segue a alma para outros “campos de Deus” para seu aprendizado e tarefas, sempre seguida por uma proteção orientada pelo Amor Divino.

Isso não é um “sonho” é mais que isso, é outra coisa. É uma experiência quase que palpável, é ao vivo e as cores, mas em ou tra dimensão, comunicação mental.

Podemos retornar e despertar com alguma lembrança dessas andanças da alma, mas somente se for para um propósito que ao final será positivo, deixará algo para se refletir, apreender.

Por uma razão ou outra, tenho esses desdobramentos, e me vêm os seus pormenores, ou pelo menos aquilo que consigo lembrar-me. Sempre ao final, fica algo para se pensar, questionar...

Dessa vez, esse texto é o relato de uma dessas lembranças da alma: DEPOIS DAS EUFORIAS. Gratíssimo pela leitura!

DEPOIS DAS EUFORIAS (desdobramento em sonho, por Nilton Bustamante) Parecia ser mais um dia...

Antes de eu querer fazer mais uma pergunta para mim mesmo, fazer qualquer pergunta para os céus, veio-me alguém da Espiritualidade e com sua voz mental penetrou-me o íntimo e esclareceu:

Brazilian Art By Edmundo Cavalcanti

A arte Naive de Jane Hilda Badaró Queridos amigos e leitores, me surpreendo a cada dia com a descoberta de tantos talentos no nordeste desse nosso Brasil, me parece que lá existe uma energia diferente, que inspira e mexe com as pessoas desta região para que criem obras maravilhosas, com muitas cores e temas regionais.

Talvez seja a influencia da origem destas cidades e de seus ante p as s a d o s .

A alegria contagiante deste povo é inigualável.

Na última matéria vocês conheceram um artista de muito talento da cidade de Recife, mas agora quero que conheçam a artista de Ilhéus na Bahia, Jane Hilda Badaró, que me encantou com suas obras, temas e cores.

O significado de Arte Naif, também denominada de Arte Primitiva Moderna pode ser interpretado como um tipo de arte simples, desenvolvida por artistas sem preparo e conhecimento das técnicas acadêmicas. O termo inglês Naif pode ser traduzido como ingênuo e inocente, por isso a compreensão simplista. A falta de técnica não retraiu o desenvolvimento desta arte, que recebeu grande destaque, ao ser valorizado por apreciadores da estética e pessoas comuns. A característica da Arte Naif é o déficit de qualidade formal. Os desenhos e grafias não possuem acabamento adequado, com

traços sem perspectiva e visível deficiência na aplicação de cores, texturas e sombras.

A estética desta arte pode ser definida como sem compromisso com a arte real, pois mistura de cores sem estudo detalhado de combinações e as linhas possuem traços sempre figurativos e bidimensionais. Afirma-se que este tipo de arte possui liberdade estética e pode ser resumida como uma arte livre de convenções. Críticos dizem que em termos gerais, a Arte Naif é concebida por artistas que pintam com a alma, diferente da arte desenvolvida por artistas acadêmicos, que pintam apenas com o cérebro, não expressando sentimento.

Nascida no Rio de Janeiro em 11 de março de 1962, Jane Hilda se diz “baiana da gema”, pois com meses de idade mudou-se para Ilhéus, onde possui suas raízes familiares. Já na adolescência envolveu-se com teatro e poesia, sentido, de alguma forma, a arte correr em suas veias. Dedicou-se também ao jornalismo como uma das editoras da ILHÉUS REVISTA, e como Assessora de Imprensa da Fundação Cultural de Ilhéus. Formada em Direito desde 1991, obteve o título de Mestre em 2005 (UFPE).

Dedicou-se também ao jornalismo como uma das editoras da ILHÉUS REVISTA, e como Assessora de Imprensa da Fundação Cultural de Ilhéus.

Formada em Direito desde 1991, obteve o título de Mestre em 2005 (UFPE). É advogada e professora concursada da Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz – UESC. Por duas vezes (em 1991 e em 2000) iniciou com suas pinturas, sem, entretanto, ter dado continuidade. Mas a inspiração contida explode em 2011,

do meu espírito. Não me interesso em ter uma arte acadêmica. Essa não é, e não será, a minha linguagem. Minha opção é pela linguagem artística da liberdade.

Pinto sem medo, sem amarras, sem professor, sem escola. De qualquer sorte, posso até dizer que sou autodidata, porque jamais passei perto de uma exposição, de uma obra de arte, de um livro dos grandes pintores, sem olhar atentamente para tudo isso.

Visita em Museus, em Paris, o D”Orsey dos impressionistas ou a visita ao Louvre, por exemplo, não deixa de ser uma grande aula, assim como também os momentos de apreciar os pintores na beira do Rio Sena...há uma bagagem de observação e finos sentimentos, portanto. E isso é tudo!”

Heloíza de Aquino Azevedo, Comissária de Salões Internacionais que representa a artista ilheense na Europa, diz que “Jane Hilda, pintora naif, retrata em seu trabalho a fantasia, sentimentos singelos e sonhos em cores alegres e traços marcantes.

Na maioria das vezes, os trabalhos de Jane representam o seu entorno, suas raízes culturais, histórias, memórias e suas vivências tanto no real como no imaginário”. Para ela, “somente comentar ou somente ler sobre os trabalhos de Jane Hilda Badaró não basta, é necessário observar de perto, é preciso enxergar com olhos de criança e sentir com o coração que de quem já vive há 90 anos”.

Heloíza de Aquino levou, nos últimos dois anos, a arte de Jane Hilda por três exposições em Paris, duas delas no Carrousel Du Louvre, uma na Galeria Art & Events, e também na Itália durante o Festival Dois Mundos em Spoletto, e na Alemanha/Wesel. Relata que foi numa loja de Paris colocar moldura na obra “Portal da Paz” quando um pintor parisiense, com os olhos vidrados na tela, em silêncio a observou com ares reflexivos, e lhe perguntou se era um Chagall. “A obra de Jane Hilda, uma artista baiana brasileira, remeteu aquele pintor francês à lembrança do russo Chagall, um dos principais pintores modernistas cuja obra retrata a fantasia, personagens simples, os sonhos, e seus quadros na maioria das vezes expressionistas, mostram a união, harmonia e cenas de suas raízes”, comenta.

A Flor da Pele ...

Por Edmundo Cavalcanti

“A flor da pele” by Edmundo Cavalcanti

Esqueceu pelo que já tinha passado.

Literalmente o coração fez isso

Amores errados e equivocados.

Seu sentimento superou a razão.

Agora cansado de ser maltratado, judiado.

Como um ser completamente descontrolado

Resolveu liberar todos seus mais belos e puros sentimentos.

Desequilibrado, transtornado.

Deixou explodir tudo que há muito tempo Estava lá dentro escondido.

Coração bandido.

Não importa o que irá acontecer Ele só deseja novamente voltar a pulsar intensamente.

E brilhar como o sol nascente, novamente.

Amar loucamente.

Elita Freitas BELÍSSIMAS !

A fotógrafa explica a filosofia do projeto:

Este mês, gostaria de comentar sobre um projeto maravilhoso, BELÍSSIMAS, que orgulhosamente fui convidada a fazer parte, um projeto que além de homenagear mulheres Brasileiras acima de 50 anos, também é de cunho filantrópico, idealizado por Jade Matarazzo, renomada e premiadíssima fotógrafa Brasileira residente na Flórida.

Em qualquer idade, a mulher é bonita. As de 50 ou mais somam a beleza às experiencias de vida, o que só aumenta o seu poder e carisma" E diz ainda, As Belíssimas desta primeira edição destacam-se pela brasililidade, pela atuação na Flórida e pelo empreendedorismo. São dinâmicas e criativas. Todas têm histórias de vida, algumas inspiradoras, outras são exemplos de superação.

Para a realização e concretização desse projeto foi criado um comitê de amigas que conscientes da grandiosidade, elaboraram os critérios de qualificação que regulam a participação no projeto.

Todas as Belíssimas apresentam em sua biografia uma entidade de caridade de sua preferência.

O lançamento do livro, acontece no dia 30 de janeiro de 2014, no Miami Grand Theatre, totalmente renovado com data marcada para reinauguração em dezembro, o Cônsul-Geral do Brasil em Miami, Embaixador Hélio Vitor Ramos Filho, que escreve e assina o prefácio da primeira edição, vai sortear e entregar à instituição contemplada um cheque com o valor arrecadado.

As Belíssimas desta primeira edição se destacam pela Brasilidade, atuação na Flórida e pelo empreendedorismo. Cada uma delas com a sua historia de vida, algumas inspiradoras e outras de exemplos de superação.

"Belíssimas" homenagem à mulher Brasileira na Flórida e entidades filantrópicas no Brasil.

O projeto "Belíssimas, que começou como um sonho antigo da fotógrafa Jade Matarazzo, em produzir um livro de fotografias com mulheres acima de 50 anos, está se concretizando como uma obra filantrópica com a participação de 50 mulheres com atuação marcante em diferentes áreas da Flórida.

O Teatro fica localizado no ex-Hotel Playboy Plaza, que recebeu grandes nomes como Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, e os Jackson Five nos anos 70, e hoje faz parte do patrimônio histórico de Miami Beach.

Jade Matarazzo (foto by Alexia)

Celia McCallum, escritora dos textos do livro, define o que é ser "Belíssima" Nossas Belíssimas são modelos para as gerações mais jovens, admiradas e respeitadas pela comunidade de Brasileiros na Flórida e, mais, ainda representam um enorme orgulho para o Brasil, o País onde nasceram, diz ela.

São mulheres fortes, lutadoras, guerreiras"

"

O projeto foi tão bem recebido pela comunidade brasileira em Miami, que em menos de uma semana do lançamento no facebook, https://www.facebook. com/pages/Belissimas a página das Belíssimas já recebia mais de 1500 "likes".

The right coverage, the right color, the right benefits – when we find the right foundation, its transformative powers make us feel like the best version of ourselves. Amway introduces ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND™ Lifting Smoothing Foundation – extending a flawless, radiant, and youthful look onto skin.

No Compromise At its core, ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND Lifting Smoothing Foundation is a rich, hydrating, anti-aging foundation that helps lift and firm the look of skin for a youthful, radiant finish. Its formula is a study in uncompromising beauty. For women who want buildable, medium to full coverage, yet a lightweight feel – ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND foundation has it.

For women who want immediate, visible perfection, but also longer-term benefits – ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND foundation has it. For women who want the perfect shade match, yet staying power – ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND foundation has it. “There are no trade-offs, no choices to be made; ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND Foundation is the ARTISTRY® brand’s most advanced anti-aging foundation ever,” says Rick DiCecca, Global Makeup Artist.

F.A.C.E.S. – Utilizing the exclusive ARTISTRY Facial Analysis Computer Evaluation System, Artistry scientists were able to cluster data from nearly 2,000 subjects representing six different skin populations to more fully understand the range of skin tones and shades that might best meet these needs.

Best-Sellers – The team analyzed best-selling shades from within and outside the ARTISTRY brand.

Product Development – The product development team then analyzed the existing palette ranges within the ARTISTRY collection and how to optimize them globally.

Global Makeup Artist – A makeup artist with clients around the world, DiCecca offered guidance on shade development and formula based on years of hands-on experience.

What these four evaluations concluded were unbelievably similar findings yielding ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND foundation’s 20-shade lineup – a collection that reaches far more people than ever before. Within the comprehensive 20 shades, Warm, Neutral or Cool undertones are available.

“Think of ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND™ foundation not necessarily as the first step in your makeup routine, but rather as the last step in your skincare regimen,” explains DiCecca. Designed to work synergistically with the ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND Skincare Collection, the foundation combines instant anti-aging effects with longer-term anti-aging skincare benefits.

Packaging and Application ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND foundation’s Crescendo packaging features a special lock-valve that keeps air from seeping into the vial, preventing product dry-out, contamination, and leakage.

Coverage ranges from medium to full (depending upon application) with a radiant, youthful finish.

Immediately, the High-Resolution, Light-Reflecting Optics help restore the look of skin’s youthful vibrancy and soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic Acid also works immediately to instantly smooth and hydrate skin. Over time, ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND

About The Orlando Magic

By John Denton, OrlandoMagic.com

Photos By Gary Bassing Victor Oladipo bent over almost double so that he could look directly into the tiny child’s eyes as he taught him a ball-handling drill Saturday morning on the Orlando Magic’s practice court.

It was then that it hit Oladipo that he was once on the other side of the equation, peering up at a NBA player, listening intently to every instruction and wanting to be just like the star player someday.

For that reason, Oladipo poured his energy and focus into trying to help young kids grow their games on Saturday morning at a children’s camp conducted by the Magic. For more than an hour prior to the team’s practice on Saturday morning, all of the Magic’s players and coaches were on the court with approximately 150 kids to offer instruction and encouragement.

life. He eagerly wants to be the kind of role of the players would be here. It’s very interacmodel that others can look to for advice and tive and the kids are learning so much. This inspiration. is one of those once-in-a-lifetime things for “I take it really seriously being a role model for kids. I know growing up I had a few role models in my life. It’s crazy now for me to be in a position where little kids call you a role model; I still feel like I’m a kid myself,” he said with a laugh. “It’s great to be out here and interact with them. A kid came up to me and said, ‘You guys act totally different than you do when you play and it’s kind of cool.’

For them to say stuff like that, it’s great. To be able to change a kid’s life, and do something that they’ll never forget, it’s pretty cool.”

them,” said Joi, mom to Davis and Wade.

“These kinds of camps enforce a love for basketball and that they have to keep practicing if they want to be really good. Something like this will fire them up and encourage them to go out and practice shooting.”

Jay and Joi Martin of suburban Orlando looked on Saturday morning as their 11-year-old twins got to pick up tips from various Magic players. Davis Martin, a fifthgrader, fashions himself as an outside shooter and said that he most enjoyed learning from Magic forward Andrew Nicholson. Wade Martin, who plays on two different teams along with his twin brother, said he will put the cross-over dribble move taught to him by Oladipo to use in recreation league games in the near future.

Added Jay, the boys’ father: “The Magic did an excellent job of putting this camp together with all of the players working with the kids.

It kind of shows the commitment of the team to the kids.”

Oladipo, a 21-year-old NBA rookie, knows firsthand that words coming from an NBA player can have a profound effect on a kid’s “The camp is amazing. I had no idea that all

Magic Head Coach Jacque Vaughn was so committed to teaching at the clinic that he once sprawled down on his back and shuffled a ball back and forth between his scissoring legs. He wanted to show the children a drill that they could do inside their houses to better their ball-handling abilities. And he repeatedly stressed to the children the need for daily practice and wanting to improve.

“That’s always so much fun to do and I think you see our players out there enjoying themselves, too,” said Vaughn, who had 6-foot9 power forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis playfully work with the children on their defensive stance and slide steps at the beginning of the camp. “Our players saw how hard it is to coach, too. They are trying to teach a kid how to shoot a layup and throw the correct bounce pass, but it’s a good way to start the morning off.”

Vaughn knows all-to-well the impact that meeting a professional athlete can have on a child. A Los Angeles native, Vaughn once rode the bus to Inglewood, Calif., and waited outside of The Forum for hours to get an autograph from Earvin “Magic” Johnson.

That meeting, Vaughn said, played a major role in him wanting to someday be a professional basketball player.

“Those guys will remember that for a long time, being able to go buy a poster or pin-up (of a certain player) and then realize that you have met that guy,” Vaughn said of the kids’ opportunities to interact with the Magic players. “I’ll never forget people that I’ve met along the way.”
