ro O CorpoUma mistura entre o estudo do carter e thriller existencial, CORPO (2007) examina os limites da memria e da respon-sabilidade moral, durante a tentativa de nomear e re-significar algumas perdas irrecuperveis sofridas durante os anos da dita-dura militar no Brasil.

Quando restos humanos so descobertos junto com o corpo ainda intacto de uma mulher jovem, Artur (Leonardo Me-deiros) e sua supervisora Lara (Chris Couto) tentam conectar esta descoberta macabra com o desaparecimento de presos pol-ticos durante os anos da ditadura no incio dos anos 70 .

Mas, enquanto Lara toma o projeto com um desinteresse quase burocrtico, Artur fica obcecado com a nomeao do cadver. A investigao rapidamente leva a uma atriz excntrica jovem (Rejane Arruda), que se assemelha, quase a cada detalhe, ao cadver no reclamado. No entanto, o que isso significa para a investigao em geral?

Poderia haver dois corpos com as charcateristics exatamente iguais? Se no, que histria podero partilhar estas duas mu-lheres?

Brazilian FilmA mix between character study and existential thriller, COR-PO (2007) examines the limits of memory and moral accountabili-ty, while attempting to name and re-signify some of the irrecove-rable losses suffered during the years of military dictatorship in Brazil.

When human remains are uncovered along with the still-intact body of a young wo-man, Artur (Leonardo Medeiros) and his supervisor Lara (Chris Couto) try to connect this grue-some discovery to the disappea-rance of political prisoners du-ring the dictatorship years in the early 70s.

But while Lara takes the project with an almost bureaucratic disinterest, Ar-tur becomes obsessed with naming the corpse. The in-vestigation quickly leads him to an eccentric young actress (Rejane Arruda), who resem-bles, almost to every detail, the unclaimed cadaver. Yet, what does this mean to the overall investigation?

Could there be two bo-dies with the exact same charcateristics? If not, what story could these two woman share?

Hoje em dia existem famlias de todo o tipo. A maioria dos casais quando desejam ter filhos querem ser tornar bons pais, mas as crianas no vm com manual de instrues.

Ser bons pais d trabalho. E como ajudar as crianas a cres-cer e estimular os seus potenciais? um trabalho que precisa de mui-ta pacincia e compreenso, mas pode ser muito recompensador.

No existem pais perfeitos. Todos cometemos erros, mas quanto melhor compreendermos a nossa tarefa, melhor ser nosso desempenho e nossos filhos pode-ro atingir maior equilbrio na vida.

Todo ser humano necessita ser notado e reconhecido como uma pessoa de valor.A criana busca ateno.

Quando a criana no nota-da quando expressa um bom comportamento ela: derrama o leite na toalha, joga as coisas no cho, destri os brinquedos, tem crises de raiva, grita em lugares

pblicos para ser notada, a crian-a pode no comer adequadamen-te porque descobriu que se ficar protelando os pais se preocuparo com ela. Se esses comportamen-tos inadequados terminassem na infncia talvez pudssemos suport-los, mas o jovem que no adquiriu o sentido de significado, costuma correr em alta velocidade com o carro para chamar a aten-o das outras pessoas, assumem modismos e comportamentos es-tranhos, etc.

Como essa necessidade bsica de significado pode ser supri-da?Nada mais importante para a felicidade de uma criana, assim como para o seu sentido de signifi-cado, do que o amor dos pais, um pelo outro. Se os pais estiverem fe-lizes e satisfeitos um com o outro, esta felicidade ser transmitida para a criana.

O filho no deve ser o centro das atenes do casal. O resulta-do so crianas egocntricas e O que posso ganhar torna-se o lema principal da vida dele. A

By Deo BritosEntenda seus filhos

O filho tem que saber que ele com-pleta a alegria do casal, ele faz parte de algo que j existe. O centro correto o relacionamento marido--mulher. O afeto na famlia aumenta a alegria e o prazer da vida. Famlias afetuosas proporcionam sade fsica, emocional e crescimento espiritual.

O afeto uma ligao emocional a outra pessoa. Isso inclui ca-rinho, amor e devoo. As crianas desenvolvem-se com carinho. As crianas aprendem a ser afetuosos e delicados com a famlia, o amigo e o vizinho atravs dos exemplos que lhes damos.

Como construir um sentido de Significado?Suas atitudes como pai/me em relao a vocs mesmos. A auto--estima de vocs ir afetar a auto--estima de seu filho. Apresente seu filho aos seus amigos e amigos dos seus amigos ,etc. O nome muits-simo importante para a criana as-sim como para o adulto. Quando os pais ou outras pessoas consideram a criana digna de ser apresentada pelo nome, isso contribui para que ela desenvolva um senso de dignida-de.

Deixe que a criana fale por si mesma. Muitas vezes humilha-mos uma criana falando por ela, agindo assim os pais demonstram para a criana que ela insignifican-te e desqualificada para falar por si mesma.

Passe tempo com o seu filho. Quando os pais no do ateno para o seu filho, este ir atingir esta ateno de modo desagradvel, atra-vs de padres negativos de compor-tamento.

Certa vez um menino ficou olhan-do o pai encerar o carro e disse: Pai, o seu carro vale muito, no ? verdade respondeu o pai. Ele custou caro. Vale a pena cui-dar dele. Quando tiver de vend-lo, posso receber mais se estiver bem cuidado.Depois de refletir um pou-co, o menino disse: Pai eu acho que eu no valho muito, no ?

Ns transmitimos ao nosso fi-lho um senso de auto-respeito quando arrumamos tempo para ou-vir suas preocupaes, quando olha-mos em seus olhos ao falar.

The child needs to be noted is RECOGNIZEDToday there are families of all kinds. Most couples want to have children and they want to be become good parents, but children do not come with a instruction manual.Being a good parent is hard work. And how to help children grow and encourage their potential? It's a job that needs a lot of patience and understanding, but can be very rewarding.There are no perfect parents. We all make mistakes, but the better we understand our task, the bet-ter our performance and our children can achieve greater balance in life.Every human being needs to be noticed and recognized as a worthwhile person.The child seeks attention.When the child is not noticed for her good behavior: She pours the milk in the towel, throw things on the ground, destroys the toys, has tantrums, screaming in public places to be noticed, the child may not eat properly because she found that delaying it can get parents to mind her. If these inappropriate behaviors in childhood ended maybe we could ignore them, but the young man who has not acquired the sense of meaning, usually runs at high speed with the car to get the attention of others, take fads and strange behavior, etc..How this basic need for meaning can be met?Nothing is more important to the happiness of a child, as well as their sense of meaning, that the parents' care for one another. If the parents are happy and satisfied with one another, this happi-ness will be transmitted to the child.The child should not be in the spotlight of the couple. The result are children egocentric and "What can I get?" becomes the motto of his life. The child must know that he completes the joy of the couple, he is a part of something that already exists. The center of the husband-wife relationship. The affection in the family increases the joy and pleasure of life. Loving families provide physical, emotional and spiritual growth.The mood is an emotional attachment to another person. This includes care, love and devotion. Children grow up with love. Children learn to be affectionate and gentle with family, friend and neighbor across the examples we give them.How to build a sense of meaning?Their attitudes as father / mother in relation to yourself. You will affect the self-esteem of your child. Introduce your child to your friends and friends of friends, etc.. The name is extremely im-portant for children and for adults. When parents or other people think the child deserves to be presented by name, it helps to develop a sense of dignity.Let the child speak for itself. Often a child is ignored when we speak for her. Going this we act like parents that show children that it is insignificant and unqualified to speak for yourself.Spend time with your child. When parents do not pay attention to their children, it will achieve an unpleasant result, through negative patterns of behavior.Once a boy watched his father waxing the car he said: "Father, your car is worth much, isnt it?" It's true, "replied the father. "It was costly. It is worth taking care of him. When you have to sell it, I can get more if well maintained. "After some thought, the boy said," Dad I think I'm not worth much, do you? "We convey to our children a sense of self-respect when they could t take the time to hear their concerns, when we talk looking into their eyes .. ake the time to hear their concerns, when we look in their eyes when talking.Research from the book: The seven basic needs of the child.

SENATOR RUBIO WELCOMES BRAZILIAN PRESIDENTS VISIT, UR-GES PASSAGE OF TOURISM BOOSTING POLICY

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs, is-sued the following statement regarding Brazilian President Dilma Rousseffs visit to Washington today to meet with President Oba-ma:

Brazil is an indispensable trade partner and American ally. As Bra-zil continues its rise as a global power, President Rousseffs visit is a reminder that the U.S. must continue strengthening our economic relationship, boost cooperation on security and energy issues, and also encourage them to use their platform to be a voice for human rights in Latin America and worldwide.

Of all the issues of mutual interest to the U.S. and Brazil, one that already has broad bipartisan support and should move forward im-mediately is the JOLT Act. The JOLT Act would boost tourism to the U.S., particularly by Brazilians visiting Florida, by reforming a bur-densome visa process that has become a roadblock to economic growth.

President Obama and Congress should build on the recent biparti-san momentum following approval of the JOBS Act to move forward with the JOLT Act and help bring more foreign tourist dollars to Flo-rida and the U.S.

Message sent by the Senators Rubios Press to HotspotOrlando.

ICYMI: AS RUBIO HEADS TO COLOMBIA FOR SUMMIT OF THE AME-RICAS, HE DISCUSSES WESTERN HEMISPHERIC ISSUES Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs, is he-aded for Cartagena, Colombia today for this weekends Summit of the Americas. The Summit is an opportunity for Rubio to discuss the importance of democracy and trade with leaders from around the region, and help strengthen Americas relationships in this important part of the world. Before departing, he appeared on the radio show, From Washington Al Mundo, to discuss issues in Latin America including Irans influence, Venezuelas upcoming elections and the importance of embracing democracy & free enterprise. Interview with Mauricio Claver-Carone on From Washington Al Mun-doSenator Marco RubioApril 11, 2012http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kofywhN2GD0 Rubio on Irans Influence in the Western Hemisphere Mauricio Claver-Carone: Youve expressed concern about Irans in-fluence in the Western Hemisphere. And this has actually gone from, in the last few years, from speculation to fact as theres been intelli-gence plots that have unfolded in Mexico with Iranian officials and Venezuelan officials and Cuban intelligence officials. We see that there are investments and transactions and perhaps even that Iran is trying to launder money to kind of deviate from its sanctions through Latin America. Are you comfortable that enough consideration is gi-ven to this potential threat?

Rubio on Upcoming Elections in Venezuela

Claver-Carone: Obviously in November we have elections here in the United States and the impact of the elections will be felt not only in Latin America but in the rest of the world. But also, in La-tin America, this fall there are elections in Venezuela, which you previously alluded to. This could possibly be a game changing election for the hemisphere. What do you think the United States and the hemispheric community can do to ensure, or to try and ensure, that there is not wide spread fraud in the elections as weve seen in the past? Rubio: Well, first and foremost is to work with our partners in the region to call it for what it is. There is fraud and there are abu-ses. Its one of the things I was really upset about when it came to Nicaragua. We didnt prioritize it. I dont think there is anyone that would dispute that the elections in Nicaragua that were just carried out were fraudulent. Everyone says that. But the U.S. was very slow in saying that, in being forceful about it. We spoke very forcefully the day after fraudulent elections in Russia. It took us forever to put any sort of strong pronouncement out when it came to the issue of Nicaragua. I hope we are not as slow in doing that in Venezuela. I hope that if indeed there are irregularities that we would join the Western Hemisphere and the community of democratic nations in the he-misphere in condemning that. Ultimately the election and the de-cision belongs to the people of Venezuela. Its a sovereign nation. They have the right to choose who their leaders are, even if it is someone we dont agree with. Our job as their neighbor and their friend is to ensure that we will not turn our back on their demo-cratic aspirations and that if in fact their democratic rights are being undermined, we will be very forceful and clear in speaking out against that.

Rubio On Embracing Democracy and Free Enterprise Claver-Carone: The last couple of decades theres almost been like a pendulum in Latin America. You saw in the 1990s demo-cracy sweep in and it was the great hope of democracy. And then after Hugo Chavez was elected in 1998, we saw that there was almost like a counterattack on democracy. Where do you think that pendulum lies today? Are Hugo Chavez and his allies on the retreat? Rubio: I think so, because if you look at those nations and what theyve experienced. Compare whats happening in Colombia to whats happening in Venezuela. I mean compare the nations that have embraced democracy and free enterprise to the nations that have embraced what Venezuela is doing. Venezuela is a rich country. It has energy resources. It has an educated business class. This is a country that should be doing very well and by all accounts it has an increasing amount of inco-me inequality. The more they embrace Chavezs policies, or the more Chavezs policies are kicked in, the more income inequality exists. For example, pair the economic growth and income inequality in Chile to Venezuelas. Venezuela started out ahead of Chile on all these factors. And in a decade, Chile has surpassed them on everything, and it hasnt been by embracing Chavez-style poli-cies. I think what big government socialism has led to in Vene-zuela is what its led to everywhere in the world its been tried: corruption, income inequality, poverty and democratic instabili-ty.

Brazil a World of Opportunities

Presented By CFBACC and led by Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs

Sponsored by:Apascorp & Fogo de Cho Steakhouse

Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs

Mediator Michael Schiffhauer

We live in a crazy economy, as fast as we recuperate from the crisis, other Countries like Brazil has transformed itself in the next best thing. An emergent economy that is fascinating foreign mo-ney, and beating economies down like Europe and USA, thriving on success. The resting giant is finally awake and it is sho-wing signs of his force. Brazil was never the land of opportunities, but now it see-ms like a dangerous combination, of great investment, lots of land to be explored, great people, gorgeous women, scenery, and most of all great climate. Everything is possible, when you add to all this a great economical plan. But the best of all is the growth and accomplishments the-re are reflecting here, because Brazilians love America, the lifestyle, the security, and the theme Parks, and they come and bring their money and cheer.

Imagine that a trip to the mall in Brazil, is more expensive in every aspect you can think, so why not buy here?! They now are buying the homes, the cars and the apartments, bring an extension of their business to America, and live the life ! In January this year according with the last statistics, Brazilian tourists left here US$ 1.9 Billion Dollars, and in Fe-bruary US$ 1.7 Billion Dollars, and to compensate US$3.7 Billion Dollars in Direct Foreign Investments . Impressi-ve? Surprising ? Or just a thing of the moment? We will see it down the road, if Brazil is making enough rumble to attract all this attention and investments,

enough to make foreigners cope with all the Brazilian gigantic bureaucratic maze, of papers, fees and infinite custom delays, it will sure prove to all that Brazil is really a World of Opportunities.

Continuing the work that started at the Trade mission to Brazil in Octo-ber 2011, Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs, City Commissioner John Marti-nez, and the Mayors Office of Economic Development / Hispanic & Asian Affairs, with the support of the Central Florida Brazilian American Chamber of Commerce, Fogo de Cho Steakhouse, Andrea Fleitas - Discount timeshare, Bree Gotsdiner from Publicly Related and Joo Marcos Arruda Pires-Apascorp, opened the panel about doing Business with Brazil at the National Entrepreneur Center at the Fashion Square Mall in Orlando. The Orange County Global Tra-de Mission counted with a few panelists, that were: Jay Santos Visit Orlando, Joo Marcos Arruda Pires-Apascorp, Rosana Rotondo Almeida Florida Connexion Realty, and the mediator was Michael Schiffhauer.

Amy Litter President of the Brazilian Chamber in Orlando (CFBACC) ope-ned the event presenting the Board of Di-rectors and Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs, also spoke about her trip to Brazil and the wish to establish a stronger and fruitful relationship with the country that left such a strong impression to her and her committee, back in October 2011.

Vivemos em uma econo-mia louca, enquanto nos EUA nos recuperamos da crise economica, o Brasil rapidamente se tornou no mercado mais atrativo para investimentos, com uma economia emergente que atrai o dinheiro estrangeiro e esta superando econo-mias como as da Europa e EUA, prosperando com grande sucesso. O gigan-te adormecido finalmente despertou e est mostrando sinais de sua fora. O Brasil nunca foi a terra das opor-tunidades, mas agora se tornou uma combinao, de grande investimento, assim como latente oportu-nidade de explorar as terras ainda virgens, a espera do momento ($) Imaginem, boa gente, lindas mulheres, paisagens, e acima de tudo excelente clima. Tudo pos-svel, quando voc adicionar a tudo isto um grande plano econmico. Ainda com tudo isso, o melhor de tudo o crescimento que este pro-gresso reflete aqui, porque os brasileiros amam a Am-rica, o estilo de vida, a se-gurana, e os parques tem-ticos, e eles vm e trazem o seu dinheiro e a sua alegria.

Imagine que um passeio ao Mall no Brasil, mais caro em todos os aspectos

que voc pode pensar, ento porque no comprar aqui? Brasileiros esto compran-do casas, carros e aparta-mentos, trazem uma exten-so de seus negcios para a Amrica, e vivem a vida em grande estilo! Em Janeiro deste ano, de acordo com as ltimas estatsticas, os tu-ristas brasileiros deixaram aqui nos EUA $ 1,9 bilho de dlares, e em Feverei-ro $ 1,7 bilhes de dlares e para compensar os EUA investiram privadamente US $ 3,7 bilhes de dlares. Impressionante? Surpreen-dente? Ou apenas uma coisa do momento? Vamos ver ao longo dessa estrada, se o Brasil est fazendo o sufi-ciente para atrair toda essa ateno de investimentos, ou ainda para fazer os inves-tidores estrangeiros lidarem com todo o gigantesco labi-rinto burocratico do brasi-leiro, que vai de de papis, taxas e infinitos atrasos no interminavel desafio. Com certeza vai provar a todos que o Brasil realmente um mundo de oportunidades, mas tudo tem seu preo .

5 KEYS TO DOING BUSINESS WITH BRAZIL..BY SEAN SLACK

I have been working with com-panies in Brazil for over 16 years. As an American born citizen, I also understand the difficulty in trying to work with Brazil as an outsider. Its not easy to engage Latin America, and especially Brazil. However, if you follow five sim-ple steps listed below, no mat-ter what kind of business you are in, you will be well on your way to working with Brazil. UNDERSTAND THE COMMIT-MENT

If you want to work with Bra-zil, you as a company need to commit to the fact that you will be going after a completely different demographic. A com-mitment does not mean one budget cycle. Your project ne-eds to have a 3 to 5 year com-mitment to developing the ne-cessary strategies to enhance your business. If you attempt to throw a few dollars in one year and expect millions in the next, this is not the business for you.

GO TO BRAZIL!

No matter what your project or business is involved in, you must travel to the country to understand fully how the system works and what your true potential is there. Spend a couple of weeks and set up me-etings with people in your field. Of course, take part in the tourism aspects and view the Corcovado and Pao de Ajucar..Take in a futbol game and drink many chopps along with a cai piranha. But, go there with the intent on learning.RELATIONSHIPS ARE STRON-GER THAN CONTRACTS.

I have been able to work with Brazil for so many years be-cause of my relationships with the owners and decision--makers of companies I work with now. Brazilians are not in the contracting and email business. They want to learn about you, your friends, your lifestyle. Can they trust you with their business? Are you just another Americano trying to get money from the Brazilian cash register? Understand that your reputation and your ability to develop relationships will be the key to your success.

Sean Slack

Business Advice

THROW OUT TRADITIONAL MARKETING METHODS

Forget about television ads and print media for the time being. Forget about demographic charts, percentages, and other often used paraphernalia. Brazil is unlike any other country on this planet. Bra-zilians want to be coddled. Want to feel important. And, if they have something that you need or want, you need to cognizant of this fact. They might be 400 miles away from here, but they are not third world. They are savvy, sharp, and friendly. Adapt your strategy and wrap it around a package that ca-ters individually to the person, not to a brand name. ACCEPT BRAZIL AS AN EQUAL , AND HAVE A PASSION FOR IT

Brazil is the 6th largest eco-nomy, soon to be 5th. I laugh when I think of companies that disappeared in 2000 and 2001 be-cause the Brazilian markets went down. Many American companies

turned their backs on Brazil. You have to acknowledge that Brazil is not a 3rd world countryit is powerful and is growing and is stable. Doing business with Bra-zil will change your lifeand you must have a passion for it or Bra-zilians will see right through you. Many of my Brazilian friends joke that I am more Brazilian than they are. Which is a true compliment. I learned the language, the mu-sic, the nuances, the habits, and the culture. I eat the food, and I understand Brazil because I lived there. You must have a thirst to capture the entire package, or it wont work.

Doing business with Brazil is not complicated, but as you can see it takes a deep, human, emotional commitment. Its not a light switch that you turn on or a webpage you click on. If you truly want to do business with Brazil, be ready to look into the mirror first, change your stereotypes, and be ready for the ride of your life.

About Us / Real Estate O que um REALTOR?

Caros Leitores,

com grande satisfao que eu comeo a escrever uma coluna para a About Us Magazine sobre o Mercado Imobilirio da Flori-da a convite de Laiz Rodrigues, editora chefe da revista. Tomei a liberdade de escrever nessa primeira edio sobre como fun-ciona a nossa profisso aqui nos Estados e algumas diferenas com o Brasil.

H 12 anos venho atuando como corretora de imveis aqui na Florida, mais precisamente na regio de Orlando. Inicialmente tirei minha licena para traba-lhar em time-share, mas isso durou apenas 2 meses e logo per-cebi que no era propriamente o que eu estava procurando. Mas com a licena na mo, comecei

a explorar a nova profisso, ini-cialmente como corretora para minha prpria famlia e amigos prximos pois ainda tinha mui-to que aprender. Naquela poca, por volta do ano 2000 e 2001, ainda tinha outras atividades e no me dedicava em tempo inte-gral.Com o aquecimento do Merca-do em 2004, 2005 comecei a au-mentar minha dedicao e logo passei a ter mais clientes e mais habilidade e conhecimento nessa profisso, que a corretagem de imveis nos Estados Unidos, to fortemente regulamentada. Temos que inicialmente parti-cipar de um curso de formao de 63 horas, passar na prova da escola e depois, enviar uma ficha de inscrio para ser aprovada pelo governo do Estado da Flori-da, acompanhado de um rastre-amento sobre a sua pessoa feita pelo FBI, com impresses digi-tais e etc.

Rosana AlmeidaBroker

Uma vez sua solicitao sendo aceita, voc pode enfim fazer uma prova Estadual, para obter sua licena de trabalho como corretor que emitida pelo De-partamento de Regulamenta-o Profissional do Estado. Nesse momento, voc pode tra-balhar como corretor, mas sua licena tem que estar sob a su-perviso de um Broker, ou seja, voc no pode ainda ter sua imobiliria, s pode trabalhar para uma. Ainda como parte do seu aprendizado, aps essa primeira etapa exigido mais um curso de 45 horas de com-plementao e depois, a cada 2 anos, um mnimo de 14 horas de educao continuada. A fa-

lha em qualquer uma dessas etapas e prazos significa a per-da da licena.Mas apenas os cursos e provas no te fazem um bom corretor. S mesmo a prtica e a vivncia dia aps dia e que vai te tornar um profissional experiente ca-paz de enfrentar as mudanas e inovaes do Mercado com responsabilidade, profissiona-lismo e tica.Quase 12 anos depois, muitos obstculos, erros e acertos re-solvi dar o prximo passo e me tornar Broker. Para isso, mais um curso com mais de 70 ho-ras, mais provas e a ousadia de abrir uma empresa.

O corretor imobilirio nos Es-tados Unidos regulamentado, fiscalizado e com leis bem espe-cficas a serem cumpridas. Um lado menos difcil e que sur-preende os brasileiros a auto-mao dessa indstria. Temos a nossa disposio ferramentas incrveis como o MLS, banco de dados completo de todos os imveis de uma determinada regio que os corretores partici-pantes tem acesso, informando o status da propriedade, se est a venda, ou se foi vendida, h quanto tempo, descrio com-pleta do imvel, fotografias, mapas com sua localizao e muito mais. Interligao com um sistema de formularios para gerao de contratos, adden-dums, listagens e comunicao com o cliente. Enfim, sensacio-nal! Meus amigos corretores brasileiros ficam boqueabertos com tamanha tecnologia. Para terminar esse captulo fal-

ta responder, o que um REAL-TOR? Realtor um corretor de imveis que faz parte de uma associao, a Associao Nacio-nal dos Corretores que segue um alto padro de atendimento, oferece constante reciclagem profissional, tem representao poltica em diversas instncias governamentais. como se fos-se uma MARCA. O corretor no obrigado a fazer parte des-sa associao e nesse caso no pode ter o ttulo de REALTOR, mas apenas Licensed Real Esta-te Agent. Gostaria de propor que voc leitor, participe dessa coluna enviando perguntas e temas que gostaria que fosse abordado aqui. Envie suas sugestes para [email protected] Estarei aguardando! At a pr-xima!

Ecotourism in Guaruja

Guaruja has trails for those who want to exercise and leave thestress

Ecotourism is a "segment of tourism that uses in a sustainable way, the natural and cultural heritage. Its con-servation encourages the formation of an environmental awareness through interpretation of the environment and promoting the welfare of the popula-tions involved. "

Although the movement of people and vehicles can be aggressive to the natural state of these ecosystems, the defenders of the practice argue that, in addition, theecotourism contributes to the preser-vation of them. This means a massive environmental education that enables the integration and economic develop-ment of local communities in areas of environmental preservation.

The activities related to this moda-lity includes: Zip Line, Horseback riding, cross-Buoy, caving, observing wildlife, rafting, hiking, among others.

In Guaruja nature is present in the exu-berant Atlantic Forest. Walking trailsthe island is to get in touch with natu-re, flora and fauna, natural beauty and takeawareness of the importance of the environment.

Who lives the routine work-home--transit may not know, but Gua-ruj trails that are greatest option for recreation and physical activi-ty. For those who enjoy the contact with nature, the city offers seve-

ral options to trails for the Atlantic forest,concentrated in the north and south ends of the island of Santo Ama-ro. Among them the region of Fortaleza -Barra Grande, where, beyond nature, visitors can know a bit of Brazilian co-lonial history. There is also the ecolo-gical path of the Count, where you can practice sports like zip lines, minirra-pel and slack-line (which resembles a circus tightrope) on natural pool, one of the major attractions of the island's biodiversity.

This is ideal for anyone who wants fresh air, away from pollution, and leave the stress of the metropolis . The-re are options both for those who never walked through the woods as to who is already "initiated" into practice.

However, it is recommended that all trails are made under the guidance of a regional tourism guide, to ensure that the ride is enjoyed safely Trail of Fortaleza da Barra Grande:

The access is through the road of the neighborhood called Santa Cruz of the Navigators, the Club Saldanha da Gama. The trail has a low level of difficulty and leads to the Fortaleza da Barra Grande, built by the Spaniards in 1584 to avoid the attack of pirates. Situ-ated in the opposite side of the Santos estuary,you are guaranteed a very nice ride, full of history and natural beauty.Trail of Eden Beach:

SOUTH COAST RECORDS

South Coast records was founded by Lar-ry Poynter Jr. in Nov. of 2009. The company is an Indie label that is di-verse in genre, but deals mostly in Urban, Hip Hop and reggae. Larry Poynter has been involved in the music industry since 1983 and has a long list of ac-complish- ments and ex-periences both as an artist as well as an executive. South Coast Records is

an Orlando based record label, but deals in global digital distribution as well as artist development. The company firmly believes in making the very best music possible as well as presenting their artists in a polished manner. Sou-th Coast records believes in staying on the cutting--edge on trending styles of music. South Coast Recor-ds' motto is"Real Talk, Real Music - South Coast Records", which sums up the whole persona of a South Coast Records team member.

Trending styles of Music

Larry was born in 1969 in Kentucky, and by the age of 9 heard Hip-Hop for the first time, and he knew would be big. He moved to California 4 years later and there he started a group calledBreakers in Command, doin Dj and MC for $100 per show and everyone knew him as Larry LUV.He finished High school, joined the mi-litary and felt how music had a different perspective from country to country. After the military, Larry LUV moved back to Louisville to resume his music care-er. He formed the Indie label TRA DUCE, playing off his address in the west end of Louisville. Larry quickly gained mo-mentum in the local scene and by 1990 he and his crew were performing at every major event to come through the city. TRA DUCE in their first year sold 10,000 cassette tapes in the tri-state area, performing with a long list of ar-tists that at the time were large in the in-dustry. Between 1990 to 1993, Larry Luv sold close to 30,000 tapes without the help of any outsider (and on a very small budget). By 1995, things were looking up for Larry LUV music wise, but he had to make the choice of leaving music behind for the sake of raising his son. This was an easy decision but for the next 12 years Larry LUV fell off the music scene all together to be a single dad. In 2008 Larrys son was a junior in high school so Larry LUV decided that music was very important to him and that he should get back into it at some capacity. In 2009 he started South Coast Records with the experience of an artist and knowledge of a polished business man. South Coast Records is an Indie label that believes in great music first. They have a very diver-se artist roster that ranges from Hip Hop to Reggae. The goal for South Coast Re-cords is to be known globally for intro-

ducing polished, well-defined artists that have the knowledge of the industry.Larry Poynter has performed with the following groups to crowds as large as 30,000 people: Run DMCWhodiniToo ShortTupacNaughty by natureSalt and PepperM.C.

O An Easter celebration at the Amway Arena, Downtown Orlando, that has capacity for approximately 17.461 ac-cording to internet sources, and by where I stood only one small section was empty! We were touched by the grandiosity of the word, the warmth of the people, and the superior plan to gather us all on that same place same time, together praising and singing.

He has risen ! Yes he has but I am sure, today, many he-arts were risen and filled with love, with Faith, I could have stayed all day, and it wasnt enough, fill your heart and soul with the word to carry you throughout the week, is like being carried in his arms, I wish everyone could feel the same. Remember this Jesus carries you in his arms every moment, every step of the way, but you have to listen to what he has to say in order to feel what he is offering you ! Believe , have Faith ! Take care.

The service was provided by First Baptist
