The Art of Jessilyn Park

Editorial Creating is demanding and very rewarding, when it is time to start the magazine I always underestimate the fact that we have enough news to show, and I am always wrong, I end up sending some articles to our Blog for lack of space. But that is just a detail, I have a lot of pleasure, constructing this journal, because it is part of my life that I disclose to you every month. Lots of the pictures are taken by us, articles and everyone that collaborates is part of our family. I am proud of what we accomplished even knowing we all have our personal life we all find the time to dedicate ourselves to this moment. Because we don’t print, doesn’t mean we are not real, we are very real and in great shape. Our numbers grows every month and we just signing on our 10th issue. Not bad, don’t you think ? So on this note, I would love to say this, thank you to the one’s that believed in the project, the one’s that left us on the way, and the one’s that thought we would not grow. You made us, better, stronger and innovative. We are always growing ! Thank you!

Próxima parada: Rio

Londres mostrou o caminho para se fazer uma festa. Mas aguardem até o Brasil mostrar como é que faz o maior evento do planeta. Durante os últimos dois anos, trabalhando na Inglaterra para a TV Record, a emissora oficial para a transmissão dos Jogos Olímpicos deste ano para o Brasil, o assunto Londres 2012 foitema quase diário. E, como todo mundo, eu também entrei em pânico com a possibilidadede não ser capaz de chegar ao trabalho devido ao caos dos transportes públicos e fiquei frustrado com as tentativas de comprar ingressos para o evento e acabar não conseguindo.

na cidade tudo o que faríamos em um dia normal. Como brasileiro, vivendo em Londres há quase uma década, eu vi a atitude da população local em relação ao Brasil mudar dramaticamente ao longo dos últimos anos. O país mais conhecido por ser um exótico destino de férias, pelo samba e futebol, transformou-se em um sério centro de negócios com uma economia que fica mais forte a cada dia. E com os preparativos para oRio 2016 já a caminho, nas últimas semanas eu realmente senti como se a capital inglesa já estivesse, de alguma forma, um pouco “verde e amarela” - a expressão que usamos fazendo referência às cores da bandeira nacional para descrever o famoso estilo esportivo brasileiro. Para nós é a jornada - com toda a diversão e altos e baixos do caminho – o que realmente importa no final. As ruas de Londres, de repente, tornaramse muito mais coloridas.

As pessoas arriscaram sorrir para estranhos. E todos estavam tão ocupados curtindo cada etapa dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2012, que não sobrou tempo para se preocupar com os riscos, tumultos, ataques terroristas e todas aquelas ameaças que podem comprometer um grande evento Mas, então, a maratona de jogos começou. como este. (Eu tenho certeza de uma equipe especial foi cautelosamente selecionada E de repente tudo mudou. e estava a postos para cuidar da O humor nacional pareceu mudar da segurança, mas eu estou contente que a noite para o dia, e para melhor. mídia não recorreu ao sensacionalismo O sistema de transporte público não falhou, nem se tornou impossível de fazer barato e fez deste tema a pauta do dia).

Marcio Delgado

Foi uma longa espera para os Jogos de Londres começarem. Anos. Meses. E então, quando finalmente foi dada a largada para as Olimpíadas, tudo chegou ao fim rapidamente, como uma refeição muito boa e sofisticada em um restaurante caro. E, desde o início, com uma cerimônia cinematográfica para a abertura que custou milhões de libras, o mundo percebeu que Londres colocaria o nível do evento em um patamar bem alto. O Brasil certamente terá que trabalhar duro para oferecer um cardápio do mesmo quilate, investindo no sistema de transporte, segurança e estrutura geral para sediar as próximas Olimpíadas.

Inglaterra 1x Brasil 0. E também, infelizmente, não temos um James Bond: Inglaterra 2 x Brasil 0. No entanto, se uma atitude positiva perante a vida e um talento natural para festas incríveis é algo a ser levado em conta, tenho certeza que os próximos Jogos Olímpicos irão ser o que as pessoas realmente irão recordar por muitos anos. Placar esperado para o Brasil: nota 10! *Marcio Delgado é profissional de marketing e jornalista brasileiro baseado em Londres trabalhando para ‘TV Record’ (Sky 801) e correspondente da Revista Glam Brasil. twitter.com / @marcio_delgado

Como um país democrático, o Brasil não tem uma rainha para “saltar” de um helicóptero no meio de um estádio na cerimônia de abertura:

The most surprising conversation ever. My first question to her was, "How long have you painted?" She smiled and said since December, just like that. I was very surprised, and even more curious to know how did she get here so fast. She explained that for her was a short process, after a big emotional shift in her life, she decided to visit her grandmother, an artist that never had all the opportunities of showing her work to the world, but according to Jessilyn a great artist, and on that day she told her," if I would give my talent to any of my grandchildren, it would be to you."

Jessilyn started trying, after finishing her first painting she placed it on Facebook and sold it! Imagine that! From there, someone that had painted a little before, started the journey of her life. She is moved by it, people show her affection because her paintings inspire them, bring memories of happy moments, and all this positive energy is bringing her to dedicate herself more and more to her art. She went to Mexico and studied painting with a world renowned Russian artist named Leonid Afremov, she said, " He did not speak English, I didn't speak Russian but I could read his body language and learned his palette knife method that way. Now, today

ing with him through his son he finally said she has potential, "and that meant the world to me." Jessilyn has a full heart, she is ready to take the world with colors, she needs to make people happy, that is important. Art turned out so important to her, that she thinks about the day she will be able to dedicate herself 100% to it. A few months ago her painting won a national contest for a wine label. They liked her work so much they picked an extra painting and now two labels will be designed with her art in it. Her work was also shown in NY at Time Square and she was thrilled, because it was another milestone accomplished in such little time. Her life changed, she changed, and her work is changing people. During our photo shoot people stopped and asked, did you paint this? and she smiled and replied, "Yes I did", and they just hugged her. She made a comment that this type of reaction was become more and more common, and that makes all the difference. Jessilyn opened her heart at the end of 2011 and wrote on her profile” Continue.

Jessilyn Park

A conversa mais surpreendente !. Minha primeira pergunta foi: "Há quanto tempo você pinta?" Ela sorriu e disse desde dezembro, simples assim. Fiquei muito surpresa, e ainda o mais curioso foi descobrir como ela chegou ate aqui tão rápido. Ela explicou que para ela foi um processo curto, depois de uma grande mudança emocional em sua vida, ela decidiu visitar sua avó, um artista que nunca teve todas aoportunidade de mostrar o seu trabalho para o mundo, mas de acordo com Jessilyn uma grande artista, e naquele dia sua avó lhe disse: "se eu fosse entregar o meu talento para qualquer um dos meus netos, seria para você". Dali em diante, Jessilyn começou a tentar, logo depois de terminar sua primeira pintura ela colocou no Facebook e vendeu! Imagine isso! Alguém que havia pintado ha pouco tempo, começava ali a jornada de sua vida. Jessilyn é movida por sua arte, as pessoas mostram seu carinho para com ela, porque sua pintura os inspira, traz recordações de momentos felizes, e toda essa energia positiva a incentiva a se dedicar mais e mais a sua arte. Ela foi para o México e estudou

pintura com um renomado artista russo chamado Leonid Afremov, ela disse, "Ele não falava Inglês, eu não falava russo, mas eu podia ler sua linguagem corporal e aprendi seu método faca de paleta dessa forma. Hoje, depois de alguns meses, e me comunicando com ele através de seu filho, ele finalmente disse que tenho potencial ", e isso significou o muito para mim." Jessilyn tem um coração cheio, ela está pronta para tomar o mundo com cores, ela precisa fazer pessoas felizes, isso é importante. A arte se tornou tão significante para ela, que ela pensa no dia em que ela será capaz de se dedicar 100% a ela.

Clinical Literature - Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of coffee, but lacks of drinking the best coffee in the world, and of reading more. Brazil is close to overtake the United States in domestic coffee consumption, it is already the largest producer and exporter in the world, just missing to drink higher quality coffee. It's been one of the perspectives of the interview with Edgard Bressani, CEO at O'Coffee, one of the boldest projects of specialty coffee in the world, headquartered in Boulder, São Paulo. Intrigued by the relationship between the number of books read per capita per year in Brazil and kgs of coffee consumed per person (both revolve around the number 4, the book stagnated somewhat lower, for decades, and the amount in pounds of coffee per person, keeps growing), the Literary Clinic www.clinicaliteraria.com. br / news spoke with Edgard Bressani, an ambassador of Brazilian coffee around the world, and that can be considered an eponym of the Brazilian coffee industry of the XXI century .

Edgard Bressani is the author of Guide Barista - The origin of the Perfect Café Espresso (3rd Edition, Publisher Café), a tasty reading that is done in a weekend (208 pages), making many lattes.

Every page that you read will increase the urge to make a better coffee, increasing to the point that you'll never drink coffee the way you did before.

As coffee consumption is increasing in Brazil, according to Edgard Bressani, coffee quality has been improving gradually. One sign of this trend is the number of coffee shops opening every year (they are equivalent to the number of bookstores in the country, around 3000, these diminishing, and increasing the cafeterias). In this scenario arises the figure of the Barista, a profession that is gaining prominence in the Brazilian labor market.

Intrigada com a relação entre número de livros lidos per capta ao ano no Brasil e os kgs de café consumidos por pessoa (ambos giram em torno do número 4, o de livros estagnado um pouco mais abaixo, há décadas, a quantidade em kilos de café, por pessoa, acima e subindo), a Clínica Literária www.clinicaliteraria.com.br/news conversou com Edgard Bressani, um embaixador do café brasileiro ao redor do mundo, e que pode ser considerado um epônimo da indústria cafeeira brasileira do século XXI. Edgard Bressani é autor de o Guia do Barista - Da origem do Café ao Espresso Perfeito (3a. Edição, Café Editora), uma saborosa leitura que se faz num fim de semana (208 páginas), tomando muitos cafezinhos. A cada página que se lê, a vontade de fazer um café cada vez melhor vai aumentando até o ponto em que você nunca mais vai tomar café do jeito que tomava antes. Assim como o consumo de café está aumentando no Brasil, segundo Edgard Bressani, a qualidade do café vem melhorando gradativamente. Um dos sinais dessa tendência é o número de cafeterias abrindo todos os anos (são equivalentes ao número de livrarias no país, em torno de 3000, estas diminuindo, entretanto; as cafeterias aumentando). Neste cenário surge a figura do Barista, uma profissão que vem ganhando destaque no mercado de trabalho. Leia mais na Clínica Literária.

But in another circles other people also started their journey, like the Brazilian Consul General in Miami, Helio Vitor Ramos Filho, that was just arriving in Miami, about the same time. Somehow like New Hope, he also has an eye for Community service, and we see that this is a great match. His work and constant help allowed the Center to grow, like a wave, his seeds of non stop dedication to the Brazilians in Florida, not only in Orlando, flourished. The Miami Consulate is renewed and faster, new departments, more outreach, and faster expedition of documents. It is faster to get a Brazilian Passport here than in Brazil.

Whatever your need is, the Consulate can help you as a Brazilian Citizen, or providing Visas to American Citizens, and the New Hope Center can help restore something precious many lost along the way. So here we are one year, many more to come and still a lot of work to be done. To finish the celebration a Cocktail and Dinner was offered to celebrate. Creators, directors, volunteers and all involved in the New Hope Assistance Center were present. Prizes were given, great food catered by Denize Catering, that also provides food for the Cirque du Soleil performers, running a restaurant inside the attraction to satisfy every dietary need the performers have.

Caros amigos e leitores, estou em uma nova fase de minha vida e também em uma nova fase,nas matérias sobre “Ecoturismo e Tu rismo de Aventura”,vou sair um pouco do tema “Praias” e falar sobre outros locais em São Paulo e no Brazil,tão lindos e propícios para a pratica desta modalidade . Conheça nesta matéria um pouco sobre a cidade de Brotas, em São Paulo,Brazil,local ideal para os amantes da natureza ,para quem gosta de aventuras,e também de bastante sossego,tambem conhecida como Capital paulista do Ecoturismo

O “TURISMO de AVENTURA” e o “ ECOTURISMO” caracterizam-se por utilizar os recursos naturais existentes no município para a realização de atividades esportivas e de contemplação e interação com a natureza. BROTAS-LOCALIZAÇÃO Sudeste do Brasil, centro do Estado de São Paulo. Ao noroeste da capital, próxima às cidades de São Carlos e Jaú. Brotas está localizada bem no centro do estado de São Paulo, no coração de uma das regiões mais desenvolvidas do país, mas que ainda nos presenteia com suas riquezas e belezas naturais preservadas. Dotada de uma posição geográfica estratégica e privilegiada, vêm assumindo um novo caminho e desponta no contexto

ecoturístico nacional. Historicamente, sempre ligada à produção rural e à economia agrícola, teve sua época áurea no princípio do século XX, com a cultura do café. Brotas reúne características bastante significativas no que se refere à preservação de recursos naturais, pois retém uma grande parcela de mata nativa, abrigando uma considerável biodiversidade animal e vegetal. Mas seu maior patrimônio natural consiste no relevo de modo geral suave, na formação das "Cuestas Basálticas", e de seu grande manancial hídrico, destacando-se o rio Jacaré Pepira, um dos poucos rios ainda não poluídos do estado de São Paulo.

ATIVIDADES DE TÉCNICAS VERTICAIS ARVORISMO: percurso acrobático aéreo entre árvores utilizando equipamentos de técnicas verticais. CACHOEIRISMO: Prática de rapel em cachoeira. Há a possibilidade de descer a cachoeira em rapel mais de uma vez. CANIONISMO: Exploração de cânions encachoeirados utilizando diversas técnicas, dentre elas o rapel. Natação, flutuação, marcha aquática, tobogã, saltos.

Cachoeira do Martelo Photo by Diego Ortiz

Essas condições naturais fazem de Brotas uma das poucas regiões do interior de São Paulo que ainda concilia ambiente natural, com os aspectos de uma área quase toda ocupada pela atividade rural, garantindo-lhe uma forte beleza paisagística além de apresentar aspectos culturais típicos da comunidade local. Brotas abriga em suas "serras" várias nascentes e rios encachoeirados, que cortam vales e encostas, concentra uma enormidade de atrativos turísticos, na sua maioria hídricos (represa, ribeirões, cachoeiras, corredeiras e nascentes). Seu potencial natural aliado ao incremento de produtos e serviços turísticos, confere à região um enorme potencial para o turismo de aventura, ecoturismo e para o turismo rural. E hoje já é com certeza, ponto de referência para a prática de esportes de aventura, como o rafting, bóiacross, canyoning, arborismo e outros.

ora Bora, located in the Islands of Tahiti, was recently ranked the "#1 Island in the World" U.S. News & World Report prefaces the rankings by asking, “What is it about an island that immediately invokes a daydream? That feeling of seclusion, for sure, but also those sprawling beaches, those rolling waves, and those untouched pockets of wilderness. For an island to be considered one of the ‘best,’ it must have that je ne sais quoi--that magical spark. The islands listed here boast a little extra something that keeps travelers enchanted.” Bora Bora, known as the “The Romantic Island,” is often called the most beautiful island in the world. The tiny island - just 18 miles in circumference - is encircled by a protective necklace of coral. Lush mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the indescribable turquoise, lapis and aquamarine of the sheltered lagoon. Arriving by air is a unique experience, landing on the airstrip that was built by U.S. troops during World War II. The

runway is on a motu (small islet), and visitors must travel by boat to reach the main island. It’s no surprise that most of the island’s activities center in and around Bora Bora’s spectacular lagoon. The popular shark-feeding excursion puts visitors in the water and within safe view of reef sharks as they’re being fed by guides. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the Lagoonarium, a marine exhibit in the lagoon where the adventurous can swim with sting rays, manta rays, huge sea turtles and reef sharks. Bora Bora is home to world-class resorts and quaint Frenchinspired restaurants, and is known for its jet-setting celebrity visitors who relax anonymously on its secluded beaches. Easier to travel than often imagined, Tahiti is eight hours by air from Los Angeles with daily nonstop flights. Tahiti is halfway between California and Australia, on the same side of the International Date Line as North America and in the same time zone as Hawaii. There are a total of 118 islands and atolls that comprise this beautiful South Pacific country. Tahiti’s varied landscape ranges from justabove sea level coral atolls to volcanic mountain peaks. Tahiti is renowned for warm waters, white-sand beaches and stunning turquoise lagoons.

Highly Anticipated Release Of Bob Dylan's Tempest Album To Be Celebrated By Numerous Fan Events Around The World World Premiere of “Duquesne Whistle” Single And Video, Sound Graffiti and Pop-Up Stores Highlight Exciting Array Of Worldwide Events Marking Release Of Forthcoming Album “ Leading up to the highly anticipated worldwide release of Bob Dylan’s 35th studio album, Tempest, Columbia Records is announcing an international lineup of events that will enable fans to experience the album in advance of its September 11 release date and celebrate with their fellow Bob Dylan enthusiasts around the globe. On Monday, August 27, the opening track from Tempest, “Duquesne Whistle” had its world premiere on NPR Online (NPR.org/music). The song was recently described by the Los Angeles Times as, “the folky sound of old-time country blues guitar licks quietly unfurling before the full band explodes into a driving big-beat rhythm as rollicking as the train ride the song explores.”

Two days later, at 9 a.m. GMT (4 a.m. EDT), the brand new video for “Duquesne Whistle,” featuring Bob Dylan, also had its world premiere on the website of The Guardian (guardiannews.com). The video was directed by Nash Edgerton, who also directed the clip for “Beyond Here Lies Nothing” from Dylan’s 2009 release, Together Through Life. On Friday, August 31, fans who visited listentobobdylan.com found a map of locations in the U.S. and nine other countries where selected songs from Tempest were streamed to mobile devices. The tracks were randomly streamed only when users were within the Tempest-tagged geographic areas, utilizing the free webbased Sound Graffiti app (which can be accessed directly through listentobobdylan.com. In addition to the U.S., other countries in which Sound Graffiti locations were found included Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Fans who streamed the song were also given an opportunity to pre-order Tempest from iTunes while they listened. On Monday, September 10, dedicated Bob Dylan Tempest “pop-up” stores will open for a seven day period in New York City, Los Angeles and London.

Bob Dylan new CD At these stores, fans can purchase the new album, as well as other Bob Dylan releases and exclusive merchandise commemorating these week-long events, including a limited quantity of CDs hand-signed by Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan Tempest stores will be open from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, September 10 so that fans can buy Tempest a full day in advance of its official release, and will remain open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Sunday, September 16. Stores will be located at the following U.S. locations: 819 Washington Street, New York, NY 10014 7763 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90046 A Bob Dylan Tempest store also opened in London on September 10th and remained open through Monday, September 17 at the following location: 47 Beak Street, London, W1F 9SE While detailed reviews of Tempest were not published by media outlets until last week, early notices have hailed Bob Dylan’s 35th studio album as one of his finest works. Neil McCormick of The Telegraph wrote, “It is fantastic to be able to report that popular music’s greatest troubadour is still as brilliant and bewildering as ever…. This is an album I can’t wait to hear again, the sound of a great artist approaching the twilight of his career with fearless creativity.”

Author and pop music critic Robert Hilburn wrote, “Dylan set the bar high for himself with the series of rich, engaging albums that began with Time Out of Mind, and he clears the hurdle again gloriously with Tempest. A stunning work.” Michael Simmons of Mojo Online wrote, “Tempest is astonishing.” Earlier this year, Bob Dylan was the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor. He was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for “his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.” He was also the recipient of the French Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres in 1990, Sweden’s Polar Music Award in 2000 and numerous other honors.

Smash Mouth's New Album "MAGIC" Available @Amazon Exclusive Including Six Bonus Remixes-First Single "Magic" Heading For Top 20 Smash Mouth, the band that gave you crazy memorable hits like "All Star," "Walkin' On The Sun," "Then the Morning Comes" and "I'm A Believer" among many others, has signed with 429 Records and set for the release of their brand new album "MAGIC" today. The title track “Magic” is looking to be another monster radio smash as it is poised to enter the Top 20 of the mainstream AC Radio Mediabase Chart and Billboard Chart. The band is back with original members Steve Harwell (vocals), Paul Delisle (Bass) and Mike Klooster (keyboards). Rookie players this time around are Randy Cooke (drums) and Mike Krompass (guitar). Krompass in fact, also helmed the producer’s mantle (having worked with Nelly Furtado and David Archuleta) capturing the quintessential Smash Mouth party sound as well as helping to take them to the next level. The band will spend the rest of 2012 touring behind the new project as well as promoting the release of their rock and roll cookbook--”RECIPES FROM THE ROAD.” In addition, Amazon is offering an exclusive album package with six additional remixes. “MAGIC” is available everywhere today on 429 Records.The release of the album and single are perfectly in tune with the band’s reputation for being the “sound of summer.” From their debut in 1997 when the smash hit “Walkin’ On The Sun” (played by KROQ before any label deal) powered their album “Fush Yu Mang” to double platinum sales, the band has scored hit after hit worldwide. Smash Mouth has toured extensively with notable stops in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay where they entertained U.S. troops.

This month I wanted to talk about Orlando's diverse music scene. It seems that you can find just about any type of artist in the world, here in the O. I love the new style of Dubstep that is going around now. Dubstep has evolved since it 1st came out and the new stuff has Hip Hop over tones which makes it a new style. Music is supposed to be challenged and the kids today are so willing to try new things. Dubstep is taking Orlando by storm.

INDIE Music

Even the big artists are coming out with Dubstep tracks. At South Coast Records, we have jumped on the Dubstep train by signing Some KosherYuppy. SKY's 1st release "My Dubstep Experience" is doing very well here and abroad. It was produced by Stupid Genius. SG will be releasing his 2nd album "Draped up and Dubbed out later this year. As an Indie label, it is important to stay current with what the majors are doing and all of the majors are starting to use Dubstep to somedegree. So if you have not heard of it, make sure you do because its here to stay.

Coty Beauty Launches Closer By Halle Berry A Coty Beauty anuncia o lançamento mundial, para esse mes, da nova fragrância, Closer by Halle Berry. "Eu queria criar uma fragrância única para mulheres que também atraísse os homens," disse Halle Berry. " Perfume é algo intimamente relacionado com desejo e atração e adoro a ideia que uma fragrância possa juntar um homem e uma mulher. A fragrância Closer cria um novo nível de intimidade através do poder do perfume". Closer by Halle Berry possui uma mistura rara de notas femininas e masculinas, o que cria um perfume intrigante que atrai tanto homens como mulheres. O renomado perfumista Jacques Cavallier soube misturar perfeitamente as facetas opostas da fragrância, envolvendo a essência clássica masculina de acorde amadeirado com uma mistura feminina gostosa de violetas e mimosas, uma das flores favoritas de Halle. Uma essência central rica, quente e amadeirada envolvida por notas delicadas e com um toque alegre do frescor do ozônio. O resultado, segundo Halle Berry, é uma fragrância "moderna, sexy, versátil, ao mesmo tempo em que é atemporal. Uma mulher deve usá-la sempre que quiser sentir-se sexy". Assim como a fragrância agrada tanto homens como mulheres, o design da embalagem também. Arrojado e moderno, ele é bárbaro. Tanto o frasco quanto a embalagem são enfeitados com linhas intrincadas que imitam o contorno do corpo masculino e do feminino. Esta curvatura provocante é visível no elegante frasco em formato de prisma, o que cria um jogo sedutor de opostos.

THE NEW SCENT OF ATTRACTION FOR HER

about perfumes

Coty Beauty announces the worldwide launch, in September 2012, of the new fragrance, Closer by Halle Berry.”I wanted to create a unique fragrance for women that would also appeal to men,” says Halle Berry. “Scent is very closely linked with desire and attraction and I love the idea that a fragrance can bring a man and a woman together. Closer creates a new level of intimacy through the power of scent.” Closer by Halle Berry is a rare blend of feminine and masculine notes, creating an intriguing scent that is as alluring for men as it is for women. Renowned master perfumer Jacques Cavallier perfectly married the opposing fragrance facets, enveloping the traditional masculine fougere accord with a luscious feminine blend of violet flowers and mimosa, one of Halle's favorite flowers. A rich, warm woodsy center is surrounded by delicate notes and a bubbly fresh ozonic top accord. The result said Halle Berry, "is modern, sexy, versatile, yet timeless. A woman should wear this whenever she wants to feel sexy." Just as the fragrance has an appeal that extends to both men and women, so too does the packaging design. Streamlined and modern, it is an instant classic. Both the bottle and the carton are adorned with intricate lines that mimic the contours of the male and female body. This provocative curvature shows up on the elegant prism-shaped bottle, creating an enticing play of opposites.

Chocolate lollipops Does it sounds hard to make? Not really! I'll explain step by step of how to make this cute and delicous party favour. You will need *chocolate or chocolate candy melts *candy mold *cookie cutters (shapes you desire) *fondant (colors you desire) *sticks *ribbons *cellophane bags 1- Melt the chocolate or melt the chocolate according to the manufacturer instructions. 2- Pour the melted chocolate into the candy molds 3- Add the sticks to the mold. Spin the stick to cover it with the chocolate. 4-Put the filled mold in the refrigerator until candy has set. ( about 15 minutes.) You can tell if the candy is done by looking at the underside. It tends to have a frosted appearance, if there are any dark areas it means some of the coating is still soft, just refrigerate them longer 5-When is ready to unmold turn over the mold about an inch above a flat surface covered with parchment or waxed paper. After gently flexing the mold, the candies will fall out. 6-Use the cookie cutters to cut out fondant shapes and assemble them into the pops using melted chocolate as glue 7-Put them in cellophane bags and tie them with ribons Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have some fun making memories with our kids!

ntre tantas coisas, que eu poderia citar, para medir a qualidade de vida que levamos, eu selecionei apenas duas coisas práticas: o que comemos e o que pensamos!

Na vida agitada das grandes capitais, somos levados a um habito alimentar bastante perigoso, chamado “fast-food”. São ricos em carboidratos porém sem ne nhum valor nutricional, ultrapassam as cotas calóricas sugeridas pelos nutrólogos, sendo hoje uma das principais causas da obesidade. São ingeridas em apenas uma refeição de “fast-food”, mais de 1100kcal, equivalentes as três principais refeições do dia.

Quantos conhecem aquele ditado: “você é o que come!” Pois bem, é constatado que aproximadamente 80% das doenças que adquirimos ao longo da vida, são oriundas de uma má alimentação. Portanto, se você deseja viver uma vida saudável, é importante mudar seu habito-alimentar! A segunda coisa fundamental que escolhi A vida agitada faz com que tenhamos uma para uma vida saudável, são os pensam- dieta deficiente em minerais, fibras, proentos! teínas e vitaminas. Existe uma diferença entre comer e se nutrir! A Deficiência nuQuantos conhecem aquele ditado: “Uma tritiva do corpo esta ligada a baixa . mente sã, corpo são!

Cuidar da saúde do corpo é tão o filosofo francês, Decartes: “penso logo importante quanto cuidar da saúde da existo.” Quer saber se sua vida vai bem? alma! Repense de que forma você tem alimentado seu corpo e sua mente!

forma como pensamos determina a qualidade de vida que temos. “Como o homem se imagina em seu coração, assim ele é...”(Provérbios 23:7) Você é o que você pensa! Com que tipo de pensamento você ocupa sua mente? O Que você pensa a respeito de si mesmo, a respeito de Deus, das pessoas e do mundo que te cerca? A forma como você pensa vai determinar a realidade em que você vive. Suas percepções formulam seus pensamentos, seus pensamentos, estimulam seus sentimentos, que influenciam seu comportamento, seu comportamento constituirá seu caráter e seu caráter será seu destino! Uma frase interessante de Esteve Jobs: “O mundo sempre é transformado por pessoas loucas que pensam que podem mudar o mundo”. Existem três processos mentais pelos quais correm os pensamentos: a memória, a análise e a imaginação! Na memória, temos o armazenamento de informação e conhecimento. A parte frontal do cérebro, é responsável pela análise e tomada de decisão. A imaginação faz parte da projeção criativa do pensamento! O potencial da nossa inteligência, nos distingue dos outros animais, porque temos o poder de manipular, corrigir ou in-

teragir com os dados e informações que adquirimos. Por isso podemos reestruturar processos da memória, tais como culpa, falta de perdão e etc... (Que geralmente estão ligadas as experiências do passado e nos fazem sofrer no presente). Inclusive os processos de projeção de pensamentos tais como ansiedade e medo podem ser de igual modo transformados ( que geralmente estão ligados ao futuro e de igual modo nos fazem sofrer no presente). Por isso “diz-me o que comes e o que pensas e eu te direi quem és”. Pense nisso, a forma como você se alimenta e a forma como você pensa, vai determinar sua qualidade de vida! Vou deixar uma dica pra vocês: “Quanto ao mais, irmãos, tudo o que é verdadeiro, tudo o que é honesto, tudo o que é justo, tudo o que é puro, tudo o que é amável, tudo o que é de boa fama, se há alguma virtude, e se há algum louvor, nisso pensai.” (Filipenses 4:8)

uantos de nos teve a oportunidade de sentir no coração a presença do Senhor? Andamos muitas vezes sozinhos, tristes, deprimidos, sem harmonia, falta algo. pois muitas vezes não nos damos conta de que precisamos abrir nossos corações a Deus. Eu poderia dar o meu testemunho, assim como muitas pessoas o fazem, mas seria errado, pois para cada um de nos a grandiosidade de Deus se apresenta de maneira completamente diferente, e a experiencia e' única para cada um de nos. Deixo então em aberto e espero que vocês tenham curiosidade suficiente de procurar esse conforto para vocês. Eu não procurava, mas mesmo assim me mostraram o caminho, e eu segui pois não tinha nada a perder e precisava ver com meus próprios olhos.Aceitar Jesus, e oferecer seu coração como moradia e’ só o começo. A Igreja e’ um presente, a família eterna, que você ama a cada um como irmão, filho, neto, e jamais os esquece mesmo não estando por perto. Ver em cada sorriso das crianças a esperança de que o mundo será um dia bem melhor do que hoje, pois eles têm uma base religiosa que muitos de nos não teve a oportunidade de adquirir, e isso vai fazer uma enorme diferença no futuro. O Ministério Brasileiro da First Baptist Orlando esse mês tem a alegria de receber um novo Pastor, Pastor Nacif e estamos contentes. Todos os meses nos celebramos os aniversários e reafirmamos o nosso compromisso um com o outro. A fé e' isso, um eterno recomeçar, todos os dias, sempre acreditando na palavra, no próximo e no perdão. Celebrando tudo que podemos.

ow many of us had the opportunity to feel the Lord's presence in our hearts? I often walked alone, sad, depressed, without harmony, something was always missing, because we do not realize that we need to open our hearts to God. I could give you my complete testimony, as many people do, but it would be wrong, because for each of us Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandiosity presents itself quite differently, and the experience is unique to each one of us. I leave it open to you, and then I hope you will have enough curiosity to search for that comforting feeling for yourself. I was not looking, but someone still showed me the way, I followed because I had nothing to lose and needed to see with my own eyes. Accept Jesus and housing him in your heart is just the beginning of a wonderful journey. Church life is this, the eternal family, you love each other as brothers, sons, grandsons, and never forget them, even when they are not around, you are bonded by faith. See in every kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smile the hope that the world will one day, be better than today, because they have a religious basis that many of us did not have the opportunity to acquire, and this will make a huge difference in the future. The Brazilian Ministry of First Baptist Orlando this month has the joy of welcoming a new pastor, Pastor Nacif and are glad, happily blessed. Every month we celebrate birthdays as a tradition, and reaffirm our commitment to each other, that our Faith is that everyday restart, always believing in the word, and the need of forgiveness. Celebrating everything we can.

After many months in a long journey where we wondered many times, we prayed, and waited if this day would ever come. God has mysterious ways, his own time and the wisdom to show it to us everyday like a patient father. The Brazilian Ministry at First Baptist was under reconstruction for months, leaders and faithful followers stayed put like soldiers, guarding the temple, waiting for the day the Pastor would come to take his sheep. But God, that knew exactly what they needed during this time sent Josh, that held everyone's hand dear to his heart and he stayed, they followed him, because they knew it was the right thing to do, and when you believe in God you wait and you go on. If you believe singing is good for the soul, you are right because they sing, and sing for Sundays to come until the singing got stronger, andmore people came, more children, babies arrived and they kept moving on. Old friends came back, new friends

arrived, and they sheltered many on rainy days. They grew stronger with the Lord, because no matter what they learned to trust each other . Healing as you see is not a day process but whatever time is needed to see things clear, to be comfortable with the changes and move on without looking back, because from now on past is past and the future the Lord is laying in our path. They have a Pastor, Pastor Nassif, his wife Lucia and the gates to a new beginning, with a beautiful future is now opening. Like he said it is good to start well, but also good to end well, and when it is time to go, finish the same way I started. The ceremony was beautiful, Pastor David Uth opened the service, and it followed with music, the kids chorus, the Brazilian Ministry Quire and a few words from Josh. Many Pastors from the community were present and prayed with all. Everyone is happy, the presence of God was noticed and gave all a feeling of accomplishment with the heart filled with faith.

A MUSICA E AS ENDORFINAS Esse mês gostaria de tecer alguns comentarios sobre a liberação de Endofirnas no nosso corpo.... As endorfinas, e o prazer de ouvir uma boa musica..... As endorfinas são substâncias químicas neurotransmissoras que têm a função de transmitir para o cerebro os sinais elétricos utilizados, existindo mais de 20 diferentes tipos. A beta-endorfina, é a mais eficiente, pois ela causa o maior sentido de euforia

que tirou o rei Saul de uma depressão. No Talmud, encontramos referências a um aparelho que fazia com que gotas d'água caíssem continuamente em um vaso de metal, criando com isso um som murmurante contínuo que ajudava a pessoa a adormecer e a recuperar-se.

Na opinião de Aristóteles as duas principais funções da música eram servir como catarse das emoções e construir um caráter ético forte.Estudos atuais demonstram que pacientes expostos à musicoterapia utilizam menos medicamentos para o controle da dor e dos efeitos colaterais provocados pelos tratamentos. “A música é muito bem recebida pelos pacientes acostumados com tratamentos que, de certa forma, causam sofrimento" fonte de pesquisa - Dr.William Eduardo Nogueira Soares - Diretor do Instituto San

A musica e as endorfinas

A força da música é reconhecida desde tempo imemorial. Historicamente vamos encontrar evidência disto nos escritos dos filósofos gregos, como Homero, Platão, Plutarco, Aristóteles, e especialmente Pitágoras e seus discípulos, onde mencionavam que a música podia ser usada como agente de cura psíquica. Homero recomendava a música para evitar paixões negativas tais como a ira, o pesar, a preocupação, o medo e a fadiga, além de promover uma recreação saudável para a elevação da alma e do corpo. Para Platão,ouvir música era da mais alta importância para o bem-estar do estado e a saúde do povo.

Giovanni -Aracaju-Sergipe - Brasil A vibração produzida pelo ultra-som em cada célula faz com que o corpo produza endorfina. E quanto mais música, mais endorfina. Não é ótimo? É só ouvir muita música!!!!

A vibração da música tem muitos efeitos. Além da produção da endorfina, dinamiza a energia do corpo e traz vontade de movimento. Ouvindo sempre, a pessoa se torna mais positiva e pode até mesmo afetar sua forma de pensar e agir, transformando seu estado de consciência.

O Brazilian Voices ja a algum tempo leva aos Hospitais e Casas de Repouso a musica, e para mim que faco parte desse maravilhoso grupo a musica faz bem, nao so a quem ouve, mas tambem a quem canta!!!! Texto por Elita Freitas

The MUSIC and endorphins

This month, I would like to make a few comments about the release of endorphins in our body .... Endorphins, and the pleasure of listening to a good song ..... Endorphins are chemicals that serve as neurotransmitters used to send electrical signals to the brain. There are over 20 different types, the beta-endorphin,is the most efficient because it causes the greatest sense of euphoria in the brain, The Endorphins * Improve memory; * Improve mood (mood); * Increase the resistance; * Increase physical and mental disposition; * Improve our immune system; * Block lesions to the blood vessel; * Have anti-aging effects, because remove superoxides (free radicals); * Relieves the pain.

we find references to a device that made water drops fall continuously in a metal vessel, thus providing a continuous murmuring sound helping people to sleep and recover. The American oncologist Mitchell L. Gaynor, director of medical oncology at the Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center, affiliated with the New York Hospital demonstrated in his book, Sounds of Healing, studies showing the effects provided by music, especially in people who have had serious health problems. Held between the 80’s and 90’s, studies showed that music can change the physiology.

The techniques used inresearch were the most diverse patient exposure to classical music, military marches and movie soundtracks. The main effects found were: * Reduction in anxiety and heart and respiratory Today, we know that when we hear music * Reduction of cardiac complications * Reduction of blood pressure we release endorphins which results in triggering the various effects mentioned * Increase in the messengers of immune cells above. * Drop in levels of stress hormones Music has exceptional strength in balanc- * Increased production of substances ing the person. It has the power of energy, that cause welfare, such as endorphins. reduce stress, and even to establish the physiological balance. The Bible menThe power of music has been tions that the harp of David saved King recognized since time immemorial. Saul from a depression. In the Talmud,

Historically we find evidence of this in the writings of Greek philosophers, such as Homer, Plato, Plutarch, Aristotle, and especially Pythagoras and his disciples, that mentioned that music could be used as an agent of psychic healing. Homer recommended music to avoid negative passions such as anger, grief, worry, fear and fatigue, and also to promote a healthy recreation for the elevation of soul and body. For Plato, music was of a high importance for the mind’s welfare and for people’s health. In Aristotle's view, the two main functions of music were to serve as catharsis of emotions and to build a strong ethical character . Studies demonstrate that patients exposed to music therapy use less medication for pain control and are less susceptible to side effects caused by treatments. "The music is very well received by patients accustomed to treatments that, in a way, cause suffering". source - Dr. William Eduardo Soares Nogueira - Director of the Institute-San Giovanni Aracaju-Sergipe - Brazil The vibration produced by ultrasound in each cell causes the body to produce endor-

phins. And the more music, more endorphins. Isn’t that great? Just listen to lots of music!! The vibration of music has many effects. Besides the production of endorphins, boosts the body's energy and brings ease of movement. Listening always, the person becomes more positive and can even affect your way of thinking and acting, transforming his state of consciousness. The Brazilian Voices ja takes some time to Hospitals and Homes of Rest music, and to me that part of this wonderful group phaco the music is good, who not only listens, but also the singing!! by Elita Freitas
