Clarice Lispector (1920-1977) was born in Ukraine to a Jewish Family. Clarice and her parents emigrated to Brazil in the early 1920s, escaping persecution in the Soviet Union. In time, she would become one of the most celebrated Modernist authors in Brazil, developing in her first published work Near to the Wild Heart (1943) many of the techniques employed by James Joyce, William Faulkner or Virginia Woolf, the latter being the name most frequently associated with Clarice’s writing. Her narratives follow closely the inner lives of her protagonists, chronicling their feelings and emotions in stream of consciousness with a vigor and passion that put a spell on her readers.

UnB 1° Dia 2015Enchanted bike path inspired by van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’
“I can’t change the fact that my paintings don’t sell,” Vincent van Gogh once said. “But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.” It is, of course, a terrible shame van Gogh never lived to see the profound impact his art had on the world, forever transforming the way so many of us gaze upon the night sky.
Vincent van Gogh’s wildest dreams probably couldn’t prepare him, for example, for the van Gogh-Roosegaarde Bicycle Path, an enchanting living artwork newly unveiled by Studio Roosegaarde. The kilometer-long path is adorned with a special paint that charges during the day and glows after dark. It runs through the Dutch province of Noord Brabant, where van Gogh was born and raised.
The amazing novelty, at the intersection of art and technology, mimics the ecstatic energy and swirling movement of van Gogh’s original. Each illuminated fleck operates like a brushstroke, adding a small yet crucial element to the whirling, unfathomable whole. “It’s a new system that is self-sufficient and practical, and just incredibly poetic,” says designer Daan Roosegaarde.
A solar panel close by generates power to illuminate the painted surface. Some LED lights are embedded in the path as well, casting extra light especially in the case of foggy weather. The fairy tale bike path is the second of Roosegaarde’s five-part Smart Highways project, which aims to create safe and environmentally friendly road networks. The first manifestation, “Glowing Lines,” employed photo-luminescent paint to brighten the edges of the road.

UFVJM 2014/1Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel Prize-winning author, dies at 87
By Todd Leopold, CNN
updated 9:55 AM EDT, Mon April 21, 2014
Gabriel García Márquez, the influential, Nobel Prize-winning author of "One Hundred
Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera," has died, his family and officials
said. He was 87.
The literary giant was treated in April for infections and dehydration at a Mexican hospital.
[5] García Márquez, a native of Colombia, is widely credited with helping to popularize
"magical realism," a genre "in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly
composed world of imagination," as the Nobel committee described it upon awarding him
the prize for literature in 1982.
He was sometimes called the most significant Spanish-language author since Miguel de
[10] Cervantes, the 16th-century author of "Don Quixote" and one of the great writers in
Western literature. Indeed, Chilean poet Pablo Neruda told Time that "One Hundred Years
of Solitude" was "the greatest revelation in the Spanish language since the Don Quixote of
Cervantes."
The author's cousin, Margarita Marquez, and Colombia's ambassador to Mexico, José
[15] Gabriel Ortiz, confirmed the author's death to CNN on Thursday. "We're left with the
memories and the admiration to all Colombians and also Mexicans because I think Gabo
was half Mexican and half Colombian. He's just as admired in Mexico as he is in (his
native) Colombia, all of Latin America and throughout the world," Ortiz told CNN.

UFPR 2013Neil Armstrong, US astronaut, dies aged 82
Armstrong underwent a heart-bypass surgery earlier this month to relieve blocked coronary arteries.
As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, hours after Apollo's Eagle lunar module had touched down on July 20 1969. He radioed back to Earth the historic statement: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". He then spent nearly three hours walking on the moon with fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.
Praising Armstrong his family said in a statement on Saturday: “Neil was our loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. Neil Armstrong was also a reluctant American hero who always believed he was just doing his job. He served his Nation proudly, as a navy fighter pilot, test pilot, and astronaut". The statement also said that he died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures, at the age of 82.
Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio, on August 5, 1930. On July 20, 1936, when he was 6, he experienced his first airplane flight in Warren, Ohio, when he and his father Stephen, an auditor for the Ohio state government, took a ride in a Ford Trimotor, a three-engined transport plane that was also known as the "Tin Goose".
After serving as a naval pilot from 1949 to 1952, and serving in the Korean War, Armstrong joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) – the precursor to NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration – in 1955. As a research pilot at NASA's Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif., he was a project pilot on many pioneering high speed aircraft, including the well-known, 4000-mph X-15.
Armstrong joined the NASA astronaut corps in 1962. He was assigned as command pilot for the Gemini 8 mission. Gemini 8 was launched on March 16, 1966, and Armstrong performed the first successful manned docking of two vehicles in space. His second and last spaceflight was as mission commander for the Apollo 11 moon landing.
After commanding the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong subsequently held the position of Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics, NASA Headquarters, in Washington D.C. In this position, he was responsible for the coordination and management of overall NASA research and technology work related to aeronautics. He was Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati between 1971-1979.
Armstrong and his wife, Carol, married in 1999, made their home in the Cincinnati suburb of Indian Hill, but he had largely stayed out of public view in recent years. He spoke at Ohio State University during a February event honouring fellow astronaut John Glenn and the 50th anniversary of Glenn becoming the first American to orbit the Earth.
