What a Wonderful World ! sung by Celine Dion

I see trees of green... red roses too. I see 'em bloom... for me and for 

And I think to myself... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue... and clouds of white. Bright blessed days.... warm sacred 

And I think to myself... what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow... so pretty in the sky -are also on the faces... of people going 

I see friends shaking hands.....sayin'.. how do you do? They're really sayin'... I love you.

I hear babies cry... I watch them grow - they'll learn much more... than I'll never 

And I think to myself... what a wonderful world......... Yes, I think to myself... what a wonderful world... oh yeah!

Big Blue Marble ..... That's what the earth would look like if we stood on the moon 

If you were standing on the moon, the earth would look like a Big Blue Marble

The earth's a big blue marble when you see it from out .

Closer, getting closer.... perspectives start to change, things look a little , as we get closer........

Closer, growing closer... no need to be afraid, our troubles start to , as we get closer.......

 Together is a word we must learn to understand, if we ever want to get to know each other better. 

Together is a word that holds tomorrow in it's hand.

Tomorrow's just another day to get together a-n-d get closer, closer, closer, closer

The earth's a Big Blue Marble
When you see it from out there
The sun and moon declare
Our beauty's very 

Folks are folks and kids are kids
We share a common name
We speak a different way
But work and play the 

We sing pretty much alike
Enjoy spring pretty much alike
Peace and love we all 
And laughter, we use the very same brand

Our differences, our problems
From out there there's not much trace
Our friendships they can place
While looking at the face
Of the Big Blue Marble in 

Dedicated to all you 'stars' out there!!!

amazing photo, amazing story

amazing photo, amazing storySource: http://www.snopes.com/photos/medical/thehand.asp

A picture began circulating in November. It should be “The Picture of the Year,”… or perhaps, “Picture of the Decade.” It won’t be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the U.S. paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother’s womb. Little Samuel’s mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner’s remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon’s finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, “Hand of Hope.” The text explaining the picture begins, “The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother’s uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.”

Little Samuel’s mother said they “wept for days” when they saw the picture. She said, “The photo reminds us pregnancy isn’t about disability or an illness, it’s about a little person.” Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome…incredible….and hey, pass it on! The world needs to see this one.

THE ALCOHOL INDUSTRY

"Drinking in moderation."

Source: www.speakup.com.br

Brazil’s national spirit, cachaça, is already the third most consumed liquor in the world, but its export potential may have only scratched the surface now that consumers in the United States ahve taken a liking to the caipirinha.

      There’s more than 40.000 cachaça producers in Brazil and 1.2 billion liters of production capacity, but just 1 per cent exported last year and US$15.58 million in revenue generated.

      About 180 Brazilian producers export to 60 foreign countries, with Germany being the top export market, the U.S. second, Portugal third and Paraguay fourth.

      Germany and much of Europe are markets where cachaça and the caipirinha are well-established, but the growth potential of the U.S. market is huge, and is driven by American consumers love of mixed drinks. Within the last five years, the U.S. has risen from the on. 5 cachaça sales market to no. 2, a rapid increase considering how many Americans still don’t know the drink.

      Cachaça is often compared to rum, but similarities end with their source, sugar cane. Rum is aged from molasses, a byproduct left over after sugar is produced, while cachaça is distilled from fresh squeezed cane juice.

      The U.S. government still fills to respect this difference, and requires cachaça bottles to be labeled “Brazilian rum” to comply with U.S. liquor law. Brazilian cachaça producers have been lobbying the U.S. government for years to give cachaça its own category as unique liquor. It’s the same battle that Mexico’s tequila industry had to fight for many years before, and only won after Americans were educated about tequila’s unique qualities.

      Cachaça producers are trying to learn from tequila’s success. Education starts with bartenders. Leblon Cachaça, a top brand in the U.S. in both revenue and volume sold, has marketing staff visiting bars around the U.S. constantly to teach servers about the caipirinha. Leblon has also created LegalizeCachaça.com, a website to educate consumers and collect signatures to show the U.S. government how many Americans support cachaça.

      Leblon organizes “Caipi Hour” parties that are held at famous bars and restaurants around the nation, and has a “Caipi Mobile” that drives through New York, Los Angeles and Miami, inviting Americans off the street to taste a caipirinha.

      “We’re not just selling a spirit of cocktail, people drink (capirinhas) for a cultural experience,” said Steve Luttmann, president of Leblon Cachaça. “It’s a cheap plane ticket, for most people it’s their first experience with Brazil.”

      Even while Brazilians consume nearly 99% of all cachaça there’s growth potential in Brazil, because some Brazilians still believe that cachaça is a poor man’s drink, says Vitoria Cavalcanti, foreign sales director for Pitú, a top-selling brand at home and abroad.

      “Brazilians drink beer, they drink vodka, but cachaça is still prejudiced by many,” Cavalcanti said. “We have to educate the barmen and waiters here. In Mexico, when you enter a restaurant, the first thing they ask you ifs if you’d like a margarita, or tequila straight. Here, waiters don’t do that. They never mention cachaça or caipirinha has on their own.

      “This is our job, we have to proclaim that cachaça is not for the poor, or the slave, but for everybody.

SUGARCANE INDUSTRY GROWS AT RECORD PACE

      Cachaça production is growing, but according for a small portion of Brazil’s annual sugarcane harvest. Most cane goes towards sugar and ethanol, both of which Brazil leads the world in production of.

      Brazil’s cane industry is primed to meet a seemingly insatiable word demand for both sugar and ethanol in the coming years. Global sugar demand is growing as populations in Asia gain wealth and Brazil ethanol production can’t grow fast enough to meet demand abroad or here at home.

      Flex-fuel car sales in Brazil broke national records in 2010. The country plans to more than double its ethanol production by 2019, from 26 billion liters annually today to 64 billion liters.

      

Condolences for those victims of Welligton Oliveira

• 
• Welligton Oliveira killed 12 children in Rio de Janeiro City, actually as an educator my heart goes out and, this blog pay a single tribute for those victims and their families who lost their children. May their souls rest in peace. It's not very common the tragic event like this, I was working when I switched on the TV and I saw the tragedy, I'm still chocked with the violence. I have no words to describe a feeling of sadness. I offered my condolences to Children's families. See you the next blog entry, friends.

Isaac Newton (1642-1727): One of the World's Greatest Scientists

This is Shirley Griffith. And this is Steve Ember with the VOA Special English program, EXPLORATIONS.

Today we tell about one of the world's greatest scientists, Isaac Newton.

(MUSIC)

Much of today's science of physics is based on Newton's discovery of the three laws of motion and his theory of gravity. Newton also developed one of the most powerful tools of mathematics. It is the method we call calculus.

Late in his life, Newton said of his work: "If I saw further than other men, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants. "

One of those giants was the great Italian scientist, Galileo. Galileo died the same year Newton was born. Another of the giants was the Polish scientist Nicholas Copernicus. He lived a hundred years before Newton.

Copernicus had begun a scientific revolution. It led to a completely new understanding of how the universe worked. Galileo continued and expanded the work of Copernicus.

Isaac Newton built on the ideas of these two scientists and others. He found and proved the answers for which they searched.

(MUSIC)

Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England, on December twenty-fifth, sixteen forty-two.

He was born early. He was a small baby and very weak. No one expected him to survive. But he surprised everyone. He had one of the most powerful minds in history. And he lived until he was eighty-four.

Newton's father died before he was born. His mother married again a few years later. She left Isaac with his grandmother.

The boy was not a good student. Yet he liked to make things, such as kites and clocks and simple machines.

Newton also enjoyed finding new ways to answer questions or solve problems. As a boy, for example, he decided to find a way to measure the speed of the wind.

On a windy day, he measured how far he could jump with the wind at his back. Then he measured how far he could jump with the wind in his face. From the difference between the two jumps, he made his own measure of the strength of the wind.

Strangely, Newton became a much better student after a boy kicked him in the stomach.

The boy was one of the best students in the school. Newton decided to get even by getting higher marks than the boy who kicked him. In a short time, Newton became the top student at the school.

Newton left school to help on the family farm.

It soon became clear, however, that the boy was not a good farmer. He spent his time solving mathematical problems, instead of taking care of the crops. He spent hours visiting a bookstore in town, instead of selling his vegetables in the market.

An uncle decided that Newton would do better as a student than as a farmer. So he helped the young man enter Cambridge University to study mathematics.

Newton completed his university studies five years later, in sixteen sixty-five. He was twenty-two years old.

(MUSIC)

At that time, a deadly plague was spreading across England. To escape the disease, Newton returned to the family farm. He did more thinking than farming. In doing so, he found the answers to some of the greatest mysteries of science.

Newton used his great skill in mathematics to form a better understanding of the world and the universe. He used methods he had learned as a boy in making things. He experimented. Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to design new experiments.

Newton's work led him to create a new method in mathematics for measuring areas curved in shape. He also used it to find how much material was contained in solid objects. The method he created became known as integral calculus.

One day, sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the Earth. Newton believed it was. And he believed it could be measured.

He called the force "gravity. " He began to examine it carefully.

He decided that the strength of the force keeping a planet in orbit around the sun depended on two things. One was the amount of mass in the planet and the sun. The other was how far apart they were.

Newton was able to find the exact relationship between distance and gravity. He multiplied the mass of one space object by the mass of the other. Then he divided that number by the square of their distance apart. The result was the strength of the gravity force that tied them to each other.

Newton proved his idea by measuring how much gravity force would be needed to keep the moon orbiting the Earth. Then he measured the mass of the Earth and the moon, and the distance between them. He found that his measurement of the gravity force produced was not the same as the force needed. But the numbers were close.

Newton did not tell anyone about his discovery. He put it aside to work on other ideas. Later, with correct measurements of the size of the Earth, he found that the numbers were exactly the same.

Newton spent time studying light and colors. He used a three-sided piece of glass called a prism.

He sent a beam of sunlight through the prism. It fell on a white surface. The prism separated the beam of sunlight into the colors of a rainbow. Newton believed that all these colors -- mixed together in light -- produced the color white. He proved this by letting the beam of rainbow-colored light pass through another prism. This changed the colored light back to white light.

Newton's study of light led him to learn why faraway objects seen through a telescope do not seem sharp and clear. The curved glass lenses at each end of the telescope acted like prisms. They produced a circle of colored light around an object. This created an unclear picture.

A few years later, Newton built a different kind of telescope. It used a curved mirror to make faraway objects seem larger.

Light reflected from the surface of the mirror, instead of passing through a curved glass lens. Newton's reflecting telescope produced much clearer pictures than the old kind of telescope.

Years later, the British astronomer Edmund Halley visited Newton. He said he wanted Newton's help in finding an answer to a problem no one had been able to solve. The question was this: What is the path of a planet going around the sun?

Newton immediately gave Haley the answer: an egg-shaped path called an ellipse.

Halley was surprised. He asked for Newton's proof. Newton no longer had the papers from his earlier work. He was able to recreate them, however. He showed them to Halley. He also showed Halley all his other scientific work.

Halley said Newton's scientific discoveries were the greatest ever made. He urged Newton to share them with the world.

Newton began to write a book that explained what he had done. It was published in sixteen eighty-seven. Newton called his book "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy." The book is considered the greatest scientific work ever written.

In his book, Newton explains the three natural laws of motion. The first law is that an object not moving remains still. And one that is moving continues to move at an unchanging speed, so long as no outside force influences it.

Objects in space continue to move, because nothing exists in space to stop them.

Newton's second law of motion describes force. It says force equals the mass of an object, multiplied by the change in speed it produces in an object.

His third law says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

From these three laws, Newton was able to show how the universe worked. He proved it with easily understood mathematics. Scientists everywhere accepted Newton's ideas.

The leading English poet of Newton's time, Alexander Pope, honored the scientist with these words: "Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night. God said, --'Let Newton be!' - and all was light. "
