Dia Nacional do Balconista / Atendente / Comerciário
(Salesperson). On 29 October 1932, thousands of salespersons had a big protest in Rio de Janeiro: ‘Passeata dos cinco mil’. They demanded a reduction from 12 to 8 working hours a day, weekly paid rest, and rest on Sundays. They marched to Palácio do Catete, where the Federal Government was seated. President Getúlio Vargas authorized the major of Rio de Janeiro, Pedro Ernesto, to sign a document which guaranteed the reduction from 12 to 8 working hours a day. It became the first law that benefited salespersons (decreto-lei n° 4.042, de 29/10/1932), in which the rules of commercial activities were described. Since then, a working day consisted of ‘three eights’: eight hours of work, eight hours of leisure time, eight hours of rest. The publication of this law happened on 30 October, and therefore this day is remembered as Dia do Comerciário Brasileiro.

Dia do Material Bélico do Exército
(Army Battle Equipment). In colonial Brazil, the storage of battle equipment was far from organized. Only in 1762, a first start was made with the storage in ‘Casa do Trem’ in Rio de Janeiro. The army unit introduced two crossed cannons in their coat of arms. With the arrival of the Portuguese king in Rio de Janeiro, the storage unit was further formalized. The first ‘presidente’ was Lieutenant-General Carlos Antônio Napion. Napion (1757-1814) was born in Turin (Italy) on 30 October 1757. In 1800, when Italy was occupied by French Imperial troops, Napion went to Portugal. He then served in the Portuguese army and was sent to Brazil in 1808. Napion was responsible for the organization of education and equipment production and storage. He created the first structures of the Unit of Battle Equipment of the Brazilian Army. He became the patron of the Unit of Battle Equipment (Quadro de Material Bélico). Other units were created in other Brazilian provinces. During the Paraguayan War, the then Marquis de Caxias reorganized the unit, in order to rely on sufficient equipment during intensive battles. The actual Unit was formalized in 1959.

Nise was born in Maceió on 15 February 1905. She studied medicine in Salvador, where she graduated at the age of 21. She started to work as a psychiatrist, and developed special interest in the treatment of schizophrenia. She moved to Rio de Janeiro where she worked in the district of Urca. During the roaring 30s, she was imprisoned because of her communist ties. Nise was granted amnesty, and was appointed director of a clinic in Rio. She gained internationalrecognition for her groundbreaking art therapies. Art pieces produced by her patients were exhibited in a museum that was founded by herself: Museu de Imagens do Inconsciente. Artur Bispo do Rosário was one of her better known artist-patients.

1987 Third Formula One world title for Nelson Piquet
Curiously, Piquet won this world title before the race on the Suzuka Circuit was started. Team mate Nigel Mansell suffered a severe crash and was unable to challenge Piquet in the final two races. In Japan, Piquet finished 15th, and didn’t finish in Australia. The second overall place was for Mansell, while Ayrton Senna occupied the third place. During the 1987 racing season, Piquet won 3 races, and finished 2nd seven times.

Again, the world title was decided during the penultimate race, and again in Japan. And again, it was a duel between two team mates: Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost from France. Ayrton, who had obtained 13 out of 16 pole positions, won that race, his eighth victory in 1988. Since only 11 best results counted for the final ranking, Alain Prost, despite having won more racing points in total, became second. Gerhard Berger from Austria gained the third place, far behind Senna and Prost.

1969 Installation of General Emílio Garrastazu Médici as president of Brazil
Emílio was born in Bagé (RS) in 1905. He went to school in Porto Alegre and started his military career. He was favoring the 1930 revolution, but against the installation of João Goulart as president of Brazil in 1961. Emílio was appointed to Chief of Staff by General Costa e Silva, president of Brazil (1967-1969). Costa e Silva had to step down on 31 August 1969, because of a CVA. According to the law, the vice-president (civilian Pedro Aleixo) should have succeeded the sick president. However, he was blocked to become president, and a military junta governed Brazil, until the installation of Médici as the new president. Médici’s government was characterized with political suppression and censorship. He died in Rio de Janeiro in 1985.

(Archivist). On many locations in Brazil, various activities are organized: from collective lunches to congresses. On 20 October 1823, the Public Archive was created in Brazil. The creation was proposed by congressman Pedro de Araújo Lima, Marquis de Olinda. On 2 January 1838, the Public Archive (Arquivo Público) became regulated by law. On 20 October 1971, the Associação dos Arquivistas Brasileiros (AAB; Brazilian Archivists Association) was founded. According to lei 6.546/78, an archivist must have completed superior education in Archival Science. TheInternational Archives Dayis on 9 June, organized by theInternational Council on Archives.

Dia do Poeta
(Poet). There is some confusion about the exact date of Dia do Poeta: 4 or 20 October? Since the date is not officially regulated, it is proposed to have the International Poet’s Day on 4 October, and the Brazilian Poet’s Day on 20 October.
Some obvious citations:
Não sou alegre nem sou triste: sou poeta I am not happy, I am not sad: I am a poet. (Cecília Meireles)
Ao contato do amor, todos se tornam poetas.
Touched by love, everyone becomes a poet. (Platão)
É tão fácil ser poeta, e tão difícil ser um homem
It is so easy to be a poet and so hard to be a man. (Charles Bukowski)
Minha poesia é cheia de imperfeições. Se eu fosse crítico, apontaria muitos defeitos. Não vou apontar. Deixo para os outros. Minha obra é pública.
My poems are full of mistakes. If I were a critic, I would detect these mistakes. I won’t detect anything. I will leave that to others. My works are public. (Carlos Drummond)

Dia Internacional do Controlador de Tráfego Aéreo
(International Day of the Air Traffic Controller). Air traffic control in Brazil is run by the Brazilian Air Force; therefore, the air traffic controllers have completed military education. The air traffic controllers are united within the Associação Brasileira dos Controladores de Tráfego Aéro (ABCTA). The large-scale expansion of Brazilian air traffic will need a large number of highly educated (includes fluency in English!) air traffic controllers in the near future.

1748 Death of the last Brazilian condemned of the Portuguese Inquisition
Since the end of the 15th century, inquisition waves occurred for centuries on the Iberian Peninsula. In Spain as well as in Portugal, more than 30 thousand convicts were purified at the stake. The Spanish Inquisition started with the publication of the Alhambra Decree in 1492. As a result Jews had to convert themselves to Christianity or leave Spain. This decree was in effect until 1834. The Portuguese Inquisition stated later, in 1536 (other sources claim 1497 as starting year) and lasted until 1821. Special inquisitors were sent to Brazil, since many migrants secretly maintained the Jewish rituals.

Dia do Santo Aleixo, padroeiro dos mendigos
(Saint Alexius, patron saint of the beggars and the poor). Aleixo was son of a Roman senator, and was born around 350. His parents taught him to be merciful to the poor people. Aleixo was intending to dedicate his life to God and to have a humble life, but his parents already had arranged a rich bride for him. At the wedding night, he received permission from his bride to leave her and to dedicate himself to God. According to the legend, a holy image of Mary spoke about him, that he was holy, a man of God. He escaped from his normal life, and continued as a beggar. He returned to the home of his parents, where he lived in a small space under the stairs. His parents did not recognize him. The servants were mean to him, but he did not reveal his true identity. After his death on July 17, his family found a small letter on his corpse, revealing his identity. He was buried in the graveyard of his family.
BRAZILIAN HISTORY:
1994 Brazil beat Italy (after penalty kicks) in the final of FIFA World Cup in the United States, and became world champion for the fourth time (tetracampeão).
More than 94 thousand soccer fans watched the final in the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. There was no score in the regular playing time, and no goal was scored in the extra time. Roberto Baggio was the third Italian player to miss the penalty. The cup was dedicated to Formula One racer Ayrton Senna, who died earlier that year.
Match highlights
1661 Jesuits expelled from Pará.
Father Antônio Vieira, from Portugal, was one of them. The colonization of Northern Brazil was in full progress. The colonists used indians as their slaves. The Jesuits took care of the indians and demanded that they should be released. A conflict was ignited, and escalated with the exile of the Jesuits from Maranhão and Grão-Pará. The Portuguese father was then involved in more conflicts, and was exiled several times.
Dia do Trabalhor (International Labor Day). The day commemorates the Haymarket Riots in Chicago (USA), on 4 May 1886. At that time, it became increasingly common to protest and strike against miserable working conditions and low wages. One day before, police killed and wounded workers during a strike. As a reaction, the rally at Haymarket Square was organized by labor radicals, who were strongly opposed against capitalism. As the police arrived to disperse the crowd, one still unidentified radical threw a bomb at the police. The police, and possibly members of the crowd opened fire: 7 policemen and one civilian were killed. In 1955, the Catholic Church moved the date to 1 May, the day of Saint Joseph the Worker, patron saint of the workers.
