(Spinster). Also Brazilians consider this commemoration of spinsters as very funny, and openly question who had the bright idea to introduce such a day.
Dia Nacional do Trânsito
(Traffic). Also in Brazil, there are many complaints about the intensity and the dangers of traffic.Conselho Nacional de Trânsito (Contran) is the Brazilian Traffic Council, which controls the compliance of traffic laws.Departamento Nacional de Trânsito (Denatran) is the Brazilian Traffic Agency, and is responsible for the execution of traffic laws. The new Brazilian driving licenses will be equipped with biometric data, including the prints of the ten fingers.Departamentos Estaduais de Trânsito (Detran) are the Traffic Agencies in the Brazilian states, and are responsible for the issue of license plates, traffic signaling, and the processing of fines. Polícia Rodoviária Federal is the Highway Patrol, which control the highways, the processing of accidents on the highways, and give first aid. Their web site shows that in 2007, almost five thousand Brazilians died in road accidents, and fifty thousand were wounded. They also show what they have seized during traffic checks. The Brazilian driving license is linked to a score system, in which traffic violations will result in subtraction of points. A Brazilian traffic controller (police, civil guard) does not use sign language but uses different whistle blows:
One short: Attention, change direction.
Two short: Stop.
Three short: Use the lights
One long: Lower the speed
One long, one short: All traffic must stop. Three long: Drivers must take their seats again.
Artigo 1, § 1º da lei de trânsito:
“Considera-se trânsito a utilização das vias por pessoas, veículos e animais, isolados ou em grupos, conduzidos ou não, para fins de circulação, parada, estacionamento e operação de carga ou descarga.”

BRAZILIAN HISTORY:
1834 Death of Dom Pedro I, in the Queluz Palace (Lisbon, Portugal).
Pedro de Alcântara Francisco Antônio João Carlos Xavier de Paula Miguel Rafael Joaquim José Gonzaga Pascoal Cipriano Serafim de Bragança e Bourbon was born in Queluz Palace on 12 October 1812. His father, Dom João VI, was king of Portugal. The king and his family had to leave Portugal due to the imminent invasion of the troops of Napoleon in 1808, they went to Brazil. The king left the Portuguese colony in 1821, by his son Pedro stayed (`Fico!`), and one year later, he declared the Brazilian independence (`Independência ou morte!`) . In 1817, Pedro married Carolina Maria Leopoldina of Austria, and after her death in 1826, he married Amélie de Beauharnais von Leuchtenberg, sister of the husband of his daughter Maria, in 1829. Following the death of his father in 1826, Pedro declared himself king of Portugal, as Pedro IV. He reigned less than three months. Pedro appointed his brother Miguel as regent, and his seven-year-old daughter Maria as future queen of Portugal His indecisiveness whether to stay in Brazil or Portugal damaged his popularity. In 1831, Pedro decided to abdicate, to his five-year-old son Pedro II. Pedro I returned to Portugal, where he was involved in a civil war. He was fighting against his brother Miguel, and had the intention to have his daughter Maria da Glória on the Portuguese throne. Miguel was defeated in 1832. Pedro contracted tuberculosis, and died in 1834, in the same hall, where he was born 35 years ago. In 1972, his mortal remains were reburied in the Ipiranga Museum in São Paulo.

1972 Newspaper ‘O Estado de São Paulo’ ignored censure, and published about Guerrilha do Araguaia.
In 1972, Brazil was suffering the harshness of the military dictatorship. Resistance against the dictators was hardly organized, thanks to infiltration within the resistance movements and large-scale arrests. One of the resistance movements had a communist signature, and wanted to initiate a revolution, and to create a model state such as Cuba and China. This guerrilla group had an encampment in what is now the state of Tocantins, and consisted of one hundred members at most, divided into smaller armed units. One fifth of the men were small farmers, almost half of the men were students. The guerilla group was by all socially active in the areas where they camped, and therefore, they gained respect from the locals. Before the group was ready to come into action, the army – in total five thousand soldiers were active in the search of them – traced them. Seven guerrilla members were killed, the others disappeared without leaving a trace. Later research has revealed that these 61 members presumably were tortured and killed. Their corpses and documents that could prove their identity have been destroyed systematically.
A guerrilha já deixou mortos e feridos entre os militares, mas a expressão “guerrilheiros” não é empregada. Os militares usam o termo “terroristas”, afastando, dessa forma, qualquer conotação aventureira ou romantica [sic], que a palavra guerrilheiro possa implicar (O ESTADO DE S. PAULO, 24 set. 1972).

Dia da Internet
(Internet). At present, a world without internet is just unthinkable, while it is only a few decades ago that internet was introduced. In the sixties of the past century, the American army set up an internal communication network (‘interconnected networks’) between the army bases: the ARPANET. This network ceased to exist in 1988. With the transition to the Transmission Control Protocols (TCP)/ Internet Protocol (IP) system, internet became publicly accessible, in 1983. However, it lasted until te nineties, before the public showed serious interest in this new medium. Internet even has a patron saint: St. Isidorus of Sevilla, who had written an encyclopedia in his live (ca.560-636): Etymologiae. The IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) controls the issue and information of the IP-addresses.

(Japanese Flower Arrangement). This day was introduced in the state of Rio de Janeiro in 2003. The composition of this (traditional) type of flower arrangements is based upon shapes, lines, rhythm, and color. Not only flowers are used, but also stems, branches, and leaves for the decoration of the composition. Ikebana Sanguetsu is a Ikebana philosophy that tries to realize the human sentiment behind the flower arrangement. Patron of this philosophy is the Japanese Mokiti Okada (1882-1955), who introduced this philosophy in 1971. In 1974, the Ikebana Sanguetsu was introduced in Brazil.

(Fauna protection). It is generally known, that Brazil is very rich in fauna life. More than 500 amphibian species, almost 500 reptile species, more than 500 mammal species, more than 1600 bird species, 3000 fish species, and about 15 million insect species. Many species are threatened with extinction, due to climate changes and deforestation, for example. Unfortunately, many animals are captured for international trade. It is estimated that no less than 12 million animals are traded annually. For each sold animal, about nine did not survive their captivity. Animal trade is very profitable, only drug and weapon trade generate more money…

(Accountant). The profession of accountant is established by decree 9295 (1946). De Conselho Federal de Contabilidade (Federal Council of Accountants) has described the profession in more detail in Resolution 570. Accountants have St. Matthew as their patron saint. They also have a specific signet ring, and a caduceus: a staff with the winged helmet of Mercurius, de Roman god of commerce, on top of it, and flanked by two meandering snakes. The symbol represent the integration of the four elements: air, water, fire, earth. On 22 September 1945, the first accountant education institute was started. Obviously, the feast day of the patron saint is not on 22 September, but on 21 September. .

Dia Mundial sem Carro
(World Car-free Day). In mega city São Paulo, with more than ten million inhabitants, one out of two people have a car. This means a number of five million cars in the city. This number is increasing with more than 500 per day. Forty percent of air pollution in São Paulo is caused by transport. It is calculated that the inhabitants have reduction of eighteen months of their average life expectancy. On annual basis, there are almost 1500 deaths due to traffic accidents. Therefore, a car-free day is introduced to leave the car at home, and to reflect about the car and traffic problems. The first Word Car-free Day was held in France in 1997. Since then, more countries followed, including São Paulo in 2005.

1897 Death of Antônio Vicente Mendes Maciel (1830-1897), “Antônio Conselheiro”, leader of Canudos.
Canudos was a small settlement in the northeast of the state of Bahia, near the border with the state of Sergipe. The population mainly consisted of freed slaves, mestizos, and indians. Antônio considered himself as a messiah; as a redeemer of the poor and desperate. He gained a considerable number of followers, and wandered with them through various Brazilian states until they settled themselves in Canudos. His messianistic reputation attracted no less than eight thousand followers to Canudos. The mayor of larger Juazeiro, nearby Canudos, feared social unrest and requested provincial troops. A small expedition army was eliminated in an ambush, by followers of Antônio. As a result, President Prudente de Morais sent federal troops to Canudos. The first battle resulted in a defeat for the federal troops. A second, larger expedition force also was confronted with fierce resistance and was forced to retreat. English intervention caused the government to send another army, in order to contral these monarchist insurrectionists. A giant howitzer and machine guns were the new weapons of the federal army. Meanwhile, the rebels suffered famine and were badly equipped. Antônio died of dysentery and malnutrition, due to fasting for penitence. Canudos was surrounded and bombed for days. The rebels surrendered, there were only three armed men left. The men had their throats cut off, the women were raped or sent off to brothels in Salvador. Antônio’s head was transported to Rio de Janeiro, where it was exhibited as a trophy. it is estimated that more than fifteen thousand inhabitants of Canudos died during the military operations.

1866 Defeat of the allied troops in Curupaiti, during the Paraguayan War.
On 2 September, the Brazilian army, together with Argentinian and Uruguayan army units, had conquered the Paraguayan Fortress of Curuzú. The allied forces wanted to progress to the Fortress of Curupaiti, which was already fortified by the Paraguayans. Abundant rainfall also was an advantage for the Paraguayans, who managed to withstand, despite the loss of 2500 men. The allied troops lost 4000 men. As a result of this defeat, the Duke of Caxias was appointed as head of the Brazilian army; two years later, he managed to conquer the Paraguayan fortress.

When we are destroying the trees, we also are destroying ourselves. In the southeastern region of Brazil, trees are flowering all year long. With the start of the spring, many trees are now decorated with garlands of pink, purple, lilac, yellow, red or white flowers. This siteprovides an overview of the trees in this region. In 1965, the presidential decree 55.795 introduced the ‘Day of the Tree’ nationwide.

(Gaucho). Gaúcho is a popular term for the Brazilians living in Southern Brazil. It lasted more than 120 years since the discovery of Brazil (in 1500), when the first settlement was founded – by Jesuits – in Southern Brazil. The Jesuits had brought their cattle with them. Bandeirantes dislodged the Jesuits out of Brazil, but Spanish Jesuits returned, at the end of the 17th century. A black page in the Gaúcho history is year 1756. In that year, more than 1500 indians were slaughtered by the Spanish and Portuguese, in seventy minutes only. The region was contested by both the Portuguese and Spanish; part of the original ‘Gaúcho’ region is now Uruguay. In 1824, the first German arrived. They would found 39 colonies in total. On 20 September 1835, the so-called Farroupilha War was started, in order to obtain independence of this region (what is now the state of Rio Grande do Sul) by force. Ten years later, Rio Grande do Sul was added to the Brazilian Empire. Many Gaúchos, serving in the Brazilian army, were involved in the war against Paraguay. In 1875, the first Italian migrants arrived; they populated the drier regions. At present, many names of Brazilians, living in the Southern Brazil, have their origins in Germany and Italy.

Dia do Coletor de Lixo
(Waste collector). In Brazil, it is common (in larger cities) that garbage is collected two or three times per week. Like in Belgium, garbage is stored in little plastic bags, which are obtained from the supermarket. The garbage is deposited in special open graded garbage collectors along the pavement. It is not uncommon that street people search the bags at dawn, in their search for valuable items such as tin cans and paper. The waste collectors – in most cities their wear orange uniforms – appear to perform some kind of (low) paid fitness exercises. They literally jump from the truck, run to the garbage bags, and throw the bags in the track. Then they run, to the next garbage collector. Or they jump on the truck again. They usually work in teams of three to four men. There exist calculations that such a waste collector is making a distance between 30 and 40 kilometers per day….

1835 Start of the Farroupilha War.
The Brazilian independence (in 1822) implicated that the political power became centralized in Rio de Janeiro, and there was little attention for regional matters. Southern Brazil, that gained economic power, protested, which led to the revolt of the liberal-minded farrapos in 1835. The first reactions of the federal government were the imprisonment of the governor and members of the Conservative Party. In ten years time, a great number of battles took place between the insurgents and the federal army. There was the proclamation of the Republic of Juliana. The Duke of Caxias intervened and managed to persuade the insurgents to sign a peace agreement in 1845.

Almost every religious institution owns its Day of the Adolescent, many Brazilian cities have their own Day of the Adolescent. Also today is a Day of the Adolescent, as confirmed by the government in the state of Bahia. The diversity makes clear that the Brazilian adolescent will not be forgotten.

BRAZILIAN HISTORY:
1974 Addition of 15% alcohol anhydride to gasoline, in order to economize fuel.
The announcement was done by the Instituto do Açúcar e do Álcool do Brasil (IAA; Brazilian Institute for Sugar and Alcohol). In the aftermath of the worldwide oil crisis in 1973, bio fuel was introduced as one of the first alternatives. At present, a blend of 24 percent alcohol and 76 percent gasoline is used, which is suitable for the majority of all Brazilian cars. The prophetic words of Henry T. Ford, in 1925, are about to become reality: “alcohol is the fuel of the future”

1921 Birth of pedagogue Paulo Freire.
Paulo Reglus Neves Freire was born in Recife, and lived under very poor conditions in his childhood. While Paulo still was at the high school, he became teacher of Portuguese grammar. In 1959, he obtained his doctorate, after defending his thesis “Educação e atualidade brasileira”. In 1962, 300 land workers were tested with a method developed by Paulo: to learn to read and write within 45 days. In 1964, Paulo, then general manager of the Brazilian Literacy Program, was arrested as a ‘traitor’. He went into exile in Chili. Later he became visiting professor in Harvard, and traveled around the world to start alphabetization programs. In 1980, Paulo returned to Brazil and became member of the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). In the final years of his life, Paulo had various political and advisory functions. He was awarded the UNESCO prize in 1986. In 1997, Paulo died at the age of 75. In 1991, the Paulo Freire Institute was founded. The institute controls educative and pedagogic activities in more than 20 countries.
