New Year

How the world celebrates New Year
The New Year is not only celebrated with fireworks  and champagne. Countries have different ways to see the New Year in

    In Portugal people go to the windows of their houses and beat saucepans . In Spain it is traditional to eat 12 green grapes [3] at midnight to make sure the next twelve months are prosperous. In Japan it is common to carry out a house-cleaning ceremony. In Islamic countries, and in China and in Israel, New Year is celebrated on other dates. In Brazil one of the most traditional ways to see in the New Year is the São Silvestre footrace, held every year in São Paulo on the last day of the year. Another tradition is the fabulous New Year’s Eve  on Copacabana beach - Rio de Janeiro (see photo), considered to be one of the most beautiful events of its kind in the world. There are, however, some common ways countries celebrate New Year:  fireworks and champagne toasts . The tradition of people making end-of-year resolutions , such as stopping smoking or drinking, or going on a diet, is also common in Brazil and other countries.

Traditional songs

Music is part of the New Year traditions. In Brazil almost everyone knows the song “Fim de Ano,” better known as “Adeus Ano Velho, Feliz Ano Novo!” It was written in 1951 by  David Nasser and  Francisco Alves. English-speaking countries also have their New Year’s  song.  It was written in 1788 by Robert Burns as a poem and is called “Auld Lang Syne.” In England and the USA this song is known as ‘the song that nobody knows’. 

XXI Handball Women’s World Championship – Serbia 2013

XXI Handball Women’s World Championship – Serbia 2013
Brazil on the top of the world

The Brazilian national team won the gold medal on the World Championship in Serbia. The team of coach Morten Soubak defeated the host team 22-20 in front of almost 20,000 spectators in the great match in the "Kombank Arena". Brazil was the dominant team during the majority of the match.

Quotes:

“We are proud, honored and happy for winning the gold medal. This is the biggest step we could make in the world of handball. We won every game we played it and now played in a fantastic Arena. We managed to handle the pressure which frightened the Polish team in their match with Serbia. We are the new World Champions and that is proof that the gold medalist needn’t be from a European country.”
 (Brazilian coach Morten Soubak).

“I am really happy for the gold. We dreamed of getting a medal, any medal, but it wasn’t until the second half of tonight’s game that we had the belief that we could capture the gold all for ourselves. Every single one of my teammates deserved this medal and I am proud that we got it.” (Brazilian player Eduarda Amorim).

25 -12 2013 -Por que os cantores brasileiros gravam poucos discos de Natal?

Olá garotada . Boas Férias e um Natal de acordo com os seus sonhos .Não deixe de ler , descansar e fazer tudo que durante o ano você não o fez e inclusive pratique a sua prática esportiva preferida .

Por que os cantores brasileiros gravam poucos discos de Natal?

Nos Estados Unidos é uma tradição. A partir de outubro, as lojas de discos começam a se encher de álbuns de músicas natalinas gravados por grandes nomes da música pop. Elvis Presley, Mariah Carey, Céline Dion e Rod Stewart estão nessa lista.Que, evidentemente, cresceu em 2013: este ano as novidades incluem CDs de Kelly Clarkson, Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis e Mary J. Blige. Tem até algumas bandas que não combinam muito com presépios ou Papai Noel, como a dupla eletrônica Erasure ou os punks do Bad Religion.E aqui no Brasil? Diga o nome de um artista que já gravou um disco de Natal. Aposto que a resposta será Simone, que lançou "25 de Dezembro" em 1995 e até hoje fatura alto com ele. Mais de um milhão e meio de cópias foram vendidas no Brasil, e outros dois milhões na América Latina com a versão em espanhol.

Simone descobriu um filão, mas poucos resolveram explorá-lo. Claro que há exceções: em 1997, Chitãozinho e Xororó gravaram clássicos de Natal em ritmo sertanejo no CD "Em Família". O Roupa Nova veio com "Natal Todo Dia" em 2011, e a incansável Bibi Ferreira lançou no ano passado o alegre "Natal em Família", repleto de convidados especiais.

CD de Natal de Simone .

Este ano há dois lançamentos importantes. O CD "Natal em Família" (alguém precisa pensar em nomes mais originais) reúne pesos-pesados como Michel Teló, Luan Santana, Gaby Amarantos, Victor & Leo e até mesmo a Galinha Pintadinha interpretando quase que só os títulos mais manjados do repertório das festas de fim de ano.

Bem mais arriscado é "É Natal, vol. 1" (que otimistas!), só com artistas pouco conhecidos do grande público –como Mônica Salmaso ou Lulina– cantando nada menos que 11 composições inéditas (além de "Jingle Bells", ufa).

De qualquer forma, são duas coletâneas. Cadê os álbuns individuais? Nos EUA, até mesmo judeus como Kenny G, Barbra Streisand e Bette Midler já se aventuraram no gênero –com a desculpa de que o Hannukah também cai em dezembro e o espírito da temporada contamina a todos.

Por aqui, salvo os exemplos citados e um punhado de outros, não existe esse hábito. E não é porque não haja potencial comercial, apesar de as vendas de CDs físicos terem despencado também no Brasil.

Desconfio que nossos artistas preferem não misturar arte e religião. Pelo menos os chamados "seculares", já que os ligados à música gospel fazem isto o ano inteiro. E também há a resistência em embarcar num projeto desses só para ganhar dinheiro. Nada menos natalino, não é mesmo?

E assim somos condenados a aturar, entra ano, sai ano, a versão brasileira de "Happy Xmas / War is Over" de John Lennon: "Então é Natal, e o que você fez"

Feliz Ano novo - Amo vocês -I love you and a lot of peace in your heart

Ano Novo

Olá garotada  ! Faça de sua vida uma renovação constante de novos fatos e ideais , independente que seja fim de ano . Este ano que passou foi de muita luta , porém a sua presença me alegrou muito , porque você é a nossa inspiração na construção de um mundo melhor  e mais justo .

Turmas : 801 802 803 Quality of life - Seven top tips for you to live longer, better

Quality of life Seven top tips for you to live longer, better The correct diet, exercise, preventive medicine, knowing how to control stress, and having a positive attitude when faced by everyday problems. These are some of the main ways to avoid diseases and help ourselves reach old age in good health . Advances in medicine and basic sanitation are allowing men and women to live longer and longer. Life expectancy has increased in many countries. In Brazil it has risen to 71.7 years, compared with 62 in 1980. In the State of São Paulo it is even higher, reaching almost 74 years. However, it is possible to live even longer. In various parts of the world doctors and health professionals have been carrying out research into longevity. Based on many of these investigations, which have been published in Brazil’s leading newspapers and magazines, Maganews offers our readers seven top tips to improve their health, slow down aging and improve their quality of life. 1 Get going – Sedentary people live shorter lives. In practically all the advice on longevity, the first commandment is: exercise! A thirty-minute walk, three to five times a week is a good start. However, before exercising more vigorously it is best to have a check-up first. 2 Super-Foods – At the beginning of the 1990 a group of Japanese scientists concluded, after years of research, that certain types of food were very special. Besides being very nutritious, they were rich in fiber and contained substances that helped prevent and treat various diseases. That is, such foods worked as medicines. Part of this group includes carrots, tomatoes, olive oil, fish and various fruits, vegetables and cereals. Drinks such as grape juice and green tea are also precious.   3 Avoid:  Cigarettes, fatty and fried food. Eating salt and sweets should be moderated Alcohol? Only if it is one glass of wine a day or a little beer. Speaking of drinks, it is important to drink at least six glasses of water a day. 4 Preventive Medicine – It is important to have annual check ups, especially if you are already in your thirties. Keeping your teeth and gums is also important. According to researchers at Harvard University in the USA inflamed gums can increase the probability of a person suffering from cardiovascular disease. 5 Faith – Stress and emotional problems (such as depression, for example) harm people’s health. According to the International Journal of Psychiatry and Medicine, people who have some sort of faith or religion deal better with everyday problems. They can control stress and avoid depression. 6 Love, Friendship, and Togetherness – A successful romantic life is good for your health. Having good friends scores more points, as well. Also, helping those in need, visiting the sick and elderly also helps our physical and mental health. 7 Keep your mind active – Listening to good music, reading books, newspapers and magazines, going to the cinema or theater, chatting with friends  - all of these help to keep the brain in shape. Better still, learn a new language, or learn to draw, paint, or play an instrument. Keeping your brain in shape is also important in getting a good night’s sleep. This means sleeping at least six hours and a maximum of eight hours a night. Vocabulary 1 tip – dica 2 basic sanitation – saneamento básico 3 life expectancy – expectativa de vida 4 to rise – subir 5 to carry out – realizar 6 into – aqui = sobre 7 slow down aging – “retardar” o envelhecimento 8 get moving –  “mexa-se” 9 advice - conselho 10 commandment – mandamento / preceito 11 fiber – fibra (s) 12 medicine – aqui = remédio 13 carrot – cenoura 14 tomato – tomate 15 olive oil – azeite 16 grape juice – suco de uva 17 green tea – chá verde 18 fatty – comida gordurosa 19 fried food – fritura (s) 20 thirties – quem tem 30 anos ou mais 21 to keep your teeth and gums – manter a saúde dos dentes e das gengivas 22 to deal better – lidar melhor 23 togetherness – sensação de estar junto / solidariedade 24 to draw - pintar
