Valentine's Day




The history of Valentine's Day dates back to a dark day of fasting had to honor St. Valentine. The association with romantic love comes after the late Middle Ages, during which the concept of romantic love was formulated. Bishop Valentine fought against the orders of Emperor Claudius II, who had forbidden the marriage during the war believing that single men were better fighters. In addition to continuing celebrating marriages, he married secretly, despite the ban of the emperor. The practice was discovered and Valentine was arrested and sentenced to death. While imprisoned, many young people sent him flowers and notes saying they still believed in love. While in prison awaiting the fulfillment of his sentence, he fell in love with a jailer's blind daughter and miraculously restored her sight. Before execution, Valentine wrote a farewell message to her, in which he signed as "Boyfriend" or "From your Valentine." Considered a martyr for the Catholic Church, the date of his death - February 14 - also marks the eve of Luperce, annual festivals celebrated in ancient Rome in honor of Juno (the goddess of women and marriage) and Pan (god of nature). One of the rituals of this festival was the demonstration of fertility, where the priests marched through the city hitting all women with thongs of goat leather to ensure fertility. Another version says that in the seventeenth century, British and French began to celebrate Valentine's Day as the union of Valentine's Day. The date was adopted a century after the United States, making it the Valentine's Day, and The Middle Ages, it was said that February 14 was the first day of mating birds. Therefore, the lovers (as) the Middle Ages used this opportunity to leave messages of love on the doorstep of (a) loved (a). Currently, the day is mainly associated with the mutual exchange of love messages in the form of symbolic objects. Modern symbols include the heart and the silhouette of a figure of a Cupid with wings. Begun in the nineteenth century, the practice of scraps manuscripts gave way to the exchange of greeting cards produced in mass. It is estimated that, worldwide, approximately one billion cards with romantic messages are sent each year, making this one of the most lucrative day of the year. It is also estimated that women purchase approximately 85% of all those present in Brazil. The Valentine's Day was until a few decades ago a festival celebrated mainly in Anglo-Saxon countries, but throughout the twentieth century the habit has spread to many other countries.

For those who don't know me
I can get a bit crazy
Have to get my way
24 hours a day, yep
Cuz I'm hot like that
Every guy everywhere
Just gives me mad attention
Like I'm under inspection
I always get til 10
Cause I'm built like that

I go through guys like money
Flyin' out the hands
They try to change me
But they realize they can't
And every tomorrow is
A day I never plan
If you gonna be my man understand

I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed I can't be blamed
I can't, can't
I can't, can't be tamed
I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be (can't be)
I can't be tamed

If there's a question about my intentions
I'll tell ya
I'm not here to sell ya
Or tell you to go to hell
I'm not a brat like that
I'm like a puzzle but
All my pieces are jagged
If you can understand this
We can make some magic
I'm wrong like that

I wanna fly I wanna drive I wanna go
I wanna be a part of somethin' I don't know
And if you try to hold me back I might explode
Baby by now you should know

I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't
I can't, can't be tamed
I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be (can't be)
I can't be tamed

Well I'm not a trick you play

It's set in my DNA
Don't change me
Don't change me
Don't change me
Don't change me
(I can't be tamed)

Não posso ser domada
Para aqueles que não me conhecem
Eu posso ser um pouco louca,
Tenho que seguir meu caminho
24 horas por dia
Porque eu estou quente assim
Todo cara em toda parte
Me dá uma louca atenção
Como se eu estivesse sob inspeção
Eu sempre fico até as 10
Porque fui feita desse jeito

Eu passo pelos caras como dinheiro
Voando de suas mãos
Eles tentam me mudar
Mas percebem que não podem
E o amanhã é
Um dia que eu nunca planejo
Se você vai ser meu homem, compreenda

Eu não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser domada Eu não posso ser culpada
Eu não posso, não posso
Eu não posso, não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser modificada
Eu não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser (não posso ser)
Eu não posso ser domada

Se tiver alguma pergunta sobre as minhas intenções
Eu vou te dizer
Eu não estou aqui para te vender
Ou te mandar pro inferno
Eu não sou chata assim
Eu sou como um quebra cabeças mas
Todas as minhas peças são tortas
Se você entende isso,
Nós podemos fazer uma mágica
Estou com tudo

Eu quero voar eu quero dirigir eu quero ir
Eu quero ser parte de algo que eu não conheço
E se você tentar me segurar eu posso explodir
Baby, agora você deve saber

Eu não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser culpada
Eu não posso, não posso
Eu não posso, não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser modificada
Eu não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser (não posso ser)
Eu não posso ser domada

Eu não sou um joguinho seu
Sou ligada de um jeito diferente
Não sou um erro
Não sou uma farsa
Já está no meu DNA
Não me mude
Não me mude
Não me mude
Não me mude
(Eu não posso ser domada)

Eu quero voar eu quero dirigir eu quero ir
Eu quero ser parte de algo que eu não conheço
E se você tentar me segurar eu posso explodir
Baby, agora você deve saber

Eu não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser domada
Eu não posso ser culpada
Eu não posso, não posso
Eu não posso, não posso ser domada

Katy Perry - Firework




 Do you ever feel   
Like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel
Feel so paper-thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel
Already buried deep
Six feet under
Screams but no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's
Still a chance for you
‘Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta

Ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make ‘em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe

You don't have to feel
Like a wasted space
You're original
Cannot be replaced

If you only knew
What the future holds
After a hurricane
Comes a rainbow

Maybe a reason why
All the doors were closed
So you could open one
That leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt
Your heart will glow
And when it's time you'll know
You just gotta

Ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make ‘em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
‘Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make ‘em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

O Dia Internacional da Mulher, celebrado a 8 de Março, tem como origem as manifestações das mulheres russas por "Pão e Paz" - por melhores condições de vida e trabalho e contra a entrada do seu país na Primeira Guerra Mundial. Essas manifestações marcaram o início da Revolução de 1917. Entretanto a ideia de celebrar um dia da mulher já havia surgido desde os primeiros anos do século XX, nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, no contexto das lutas de mulheres por melhores condições de vida e trabalho, bem como pelo direito de voto.
No Ocidente, o Dia Internacional da Mulher foi comemorado no início do século, até a década de 1920.
Na antiga União Soviética, durante o stalinismo, o Dia Internacional da Mulher tornou-se elemento de propaganda partidária.
Nos países ocidentais, a data foi esquecida por longo tempo e somente recuperada pelo movimento feminista, já na década de 1960. Na atualidade, a celebração do Dia Internacional da Mulher perdeu parcialmente o seu sentido original, adquirindo um caráter festivo e comercial. Nessa data, os empregadores, sem certamente pretender evocar o espírito das operárias grevistas do 8 de março de 1917, costumam distribuir rosas vermelhas ou pequenos mimos entre suas empregadas.
1975 foi designado pela ONU como o Ano Internacional da Mulher e, em Dezembro de 1977, o Dia Internacional da Mulher foi adotado pelas Nações Unidas, para lembrar as conquistas sociais, políticas e económicas das mulheres, mas também a discriminação e a violência a que muitas delas ainda são submetidas em todo o mundo.[1]

Dia de São Patrício (em inglês: Saint Patrick's Day, em irlandês: Lá ’le Pádraig ou Lá Fhéile Pádraig), é a festa anual que celebra São Patrício, um dos padroeiros da Irlanda, e é normalmente comemorado no dia 17 de Março. Essa data é normalmente medida pela autoridade da Igreja. As pessoas vestem-se de trajes verdes, saindo as ruas em uma longa caminhada festiva.
O primeiro "Saint Patrick's Festival" foi realizado no dia 17 de Março de 1996. Em 1997, tornou-se um evento de três dias, e em 2000 foi um evento de quatro dias. Em 2006, o festival durou cinco dias.
No passado, o Dia de São Patrício era apenas uma celebração da cerveja. Tornou-se um feriado público no ano de 1903. Na Inglaterra, foi introduzido no Parlamento pelo irlandês James O'Mara. Mais tarde, O'Mara introduziu a lei que proibia que os pubs fechassem no dia 18 de Março, uma providência que só foi mudada nos anos 70. A primeira manifestação ocorreu em Dublin, no ano de 1931, e foi criticada pelo ministro Fitzgerald.
