(World COPD Day). This day is organized by the WHO-associated Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). The first COPD-day was held in 002; since then, the COPD Day is on the second or third Wednesday in November, as determined by GOLD. COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is an umbrella term for lung emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and some forms of asthma. Predominantly environmental factors may cause emphysema, while only a small percentage may be related to genetic abnormalities. Environmental factors are tobacco smoke, wood smoke, asbestos, sawdust, mine dust, etcetera. COPD is a silent killer: clinical symptoms may be overt at later age, it gradually squeezes the lungs and has no mercy. Smoking-related emphysema only has one drastic remedy: never start smoking. Smokers better stop immediately, since there is (still) no cure; however, treatments are more effective, and may alleviate and prolong the patient’s life significantly.

Dia do Joalheiro
(Jeweler). Since the discovery of gold, about four thousand years ago, man became much interested in this precious metal. Early civilizations such as the Etruscans, Greek and Romans processed gold in a variety of ornaments. In the Renaissance era, gold was decorated with enamel and precious stones. In the Baroque era, golden jewelry were considered as social status symbols. Rococo jewelry became more asymmetric and lighter. Neo-classicist were inspired upon the Greek and Roman eras. Since the Industrial Revolution, and the discovery of giant mines in Southern Africa, diamonds were introduced in jewelry. Early 20th century, the famous French jewelers Cartier and Boucheron introduced the so-called ‘belle époque’ style, inspired upon the 17th century. After the great wars, jewelry were also considered as investments, while – thanks to the introduction of synthetic gemstones – cheaper jewelry was produced.

Dia da Proclamação da República
(Proclamation of the Republic of Brazil). In 1889, the power of the Brazilian monarchy, governed by emperor Pedro II, was waning. Attempts to rescue the monarchy (for example more civilian rights and more autonomy for the provinces) came too late. The Brazilian people lest their faith in the monarchy, but also did not fight it. Therefore, the people were just witnessing the military coup, which deposited the emperor and dissolved the parliament on 15 November. The coup was planned on 20 November, but was brought forward due to (what proved to be false) messages about the pending arrest of Benjamin Constant and marshal Deodoro de Fonseca. Therefore, on 15 November, Deodoro commanded the occupation of the military headquarters and the ministry of War in Rio de Janeiro. The emperor still tried to rescue his reign, but in vain. He was ordered to leave the country, together with his family. On 17 November, the Imperial Family moved to Europa, after having reigned over Brazil for 77 years. Pedro II reigned no less than 49 years. Following the coup, Deodoro was asked to govern Brazil, and therefore be considered as the first President of the new Republic of Brazil.

The power vacuum ignited many revolts against the (federal) government, and also against the influences of the former (read: Portuguese) rulers.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

(Teacher). At present, Almost all Brazilian children attend school, but the quality of primary and secondary education is far from adequate. Recently, the Brazilian government had decided to spend ten percent of its budget to education. The origin of the date dates back to 1827, when Dom Pedro I issued a decree about education. Only 120 years later, in 1947, this date was introduced to pay more attention to teachers. Coincidentally, 15 October is also the fest day of Saint Teresa d´Ávila, a Spanish mystic, who was appointed as Doctor of the Church in the past century.
