Happy Mother's Day

Any woman who raises the child
Guard in the womb with love
Gives birth to their pain
Nourished in her womb
Caress forces without
Take care with patience
Follows the steps of childhood
Also in adolescence

Education in its own way
Teach the way of truth
Never want to see suffer
Nor does it show the wrong way

Pray for protection
Do not want to see his son on the ground
Always looking for an alibi
It may be your lawyer

Weeps
Give your own life
Clap to the success
Also cries of joy

Its mission is never accomplished
After the marriage is
Hang husbands and wives
Grandchildren that lie ahead
Transforming it into Grandma

Motherhood is relentless
Is always accompanied
The children that God gave them
Congratulations to all mothers!
Every day is its own, including "I"




TRADUÇÃO:



Qualquer mulher que gera o filho
Guarda no ventre com amor
Faz nascer com sua dor
Alimenta no seu seio
Acaricia mesmo sem forças
Cuida com paciência
Acompanha os passos da infância
Também na adolescência


Educa a seu modo
Ensina o caminho da verdade
Nunca quer ver sofrer
Nem indica o caminho errado


Reza pedindo proteção
Não quer ver seu filho no chão
Sempre procura um álibi
Pode ser sua advogada


Derrama suas lágrimas
Dá sua própria vida
Bate palmas com o sucesso
Chora também de alegria


Sua missão nunca está cumprida
Depois faz o casamento
Aguenta genros e noras
Netos que vêm pela frente
Transformando-a em avó


O papel de mãe é incansável
Está sempre a acompanhar
Os filhos que deus lhes deu
Parabéns a todas as mães!
Todos os dias são seus, incluindo "eu"

Facts about the Easter

Origin of name

Easter events have occurred during Pesah, when Jews celebrate the release and flight of his people enslaved in Egypt.

The word Easter comes, just the Hebrew name of the Jewish feast to which the Christian Easter is intimately linked, not only the symbolic meaning of "pass" common to pagan celebrations (transition from winter to spring) and Jewish (from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land), but also by the position of Easter in the calendar, according to the calculations set forth below.

In Portuguese, as in many other languages​​, the word Easter comes from the Hebrew Pesah. The Spaniards call the feast of Passover, the Italian Pasqua and French Pâques.

The terms "Easter" (Ishtar) and "Ostern" (in English and German, respectively) seem to have no etymological relationship to the Pesach (Passover). The most accepted hypotheses relating to the terms Estremonat, name of an ancient Germanic months, or Eostre, a Germanic goddess associated with spring he was honored each year in the month of Eostremonat, according to the Venerable Bede, English historian of the the seventh century. However, it is important to mention that is cognate of Inanna Ishtar and Astarte (Phoenician mythology and Sumerian mythology), both linked to fertility, of which probably the myth of "Ostern", and consequently the Passover (directly and indirectly), had notorious influences.

Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac is an island that is part of the Cayman Islands. It lies in the Caribbean Sea about 90 miles (145 km) northeast of Grand Cayman and 5 miles (8 km) east of Little Cayman. It is about 12 miles (19 km) long, with an average width of 1 mile (2 km). Its terrain is the most prominent of the three Cayman Islands due to "The Bluff", a large central limestone outcrop that rises steadily along the length of the island up to 140 feet (43 metres) above sea level at the eastern end. The island is named after this prominent feature, as "brac" is a Gaelic name for a bluff.
The Teignmouth Electron, the boat in which Donald Crowhurst attempted to sail round the world single-handed in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, has been left to decay on the south coast of Cayman Brac.
Christopher Columbus sighted Cayman Brac and its sister island, Little Cayman, on 10 May 1503 when his ship was blown off course during a trip between Hispaniola and Panama. He named them "Las Tortugas" because of the many turtles he spotted on the islands. The Cayman Islands were renamed by Sir Francis Drake, who came upon the islands during a voyage in 1586. He used the word "Caymanas", taken from the Carib name for crocodiles after seeing many of the large crocodilians. Many people believe he had only seen the Rock Iguanas that inhabit the island today.

During the heyday of piracy, pirates would use Cayman Brac as a haven and a place to replenish their supplies as there are a number of fresh water wells on the island and had many sources of food included in the local flora and fauna.
