History was made as Central Florida successfully met the challenge to #FilltheBowl for the Orlando City Lions’ inaugural game as the newest Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise.

More than 62,500 soccer fans dressed in purple cheered at the renovated Citrus Bowl stadium as the Lions faced the New York City Football Club. The sold-out game was a 1-1 draw with Orlando superstar Ricardo Kaká scoring the lone goal for the Lions.

Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs was on the field for the official opening ceremonies prior to the 5 p.m. game, which was televised in more than 100 countries and ESPN2.

“One of the best sports in the world has come to Orlando. And Orange County – which is one of the best communities in the world – is proud to join other Major League Soccer cities on the international stage,” Mayor Jacobs said. “We truly #FilledtheBowl at the Orlando Citrus Bowl for the inaugural Orlando City Soccer Club game against the New York City Football Club and I am so proud of how our community came together to make history this weekend.”

Mayor Buddy Dyer, MLS Commissioner Don Garber, Orlando City Soccer owner Flávio Augusto da Silva and Orlando City Soccer President Phil Rawlins.

The campaign #FilltheBowl launched last month and was a major success, with the last tickets selling a week before the game. With high demand, additional standing room only tickets were added in the days leading up to the game.

Fan attendance is the largest ever recorded for a soccer game at the Citrus Bowl, surpassing previous crowds during the 1994 FIFA World Cup. The game drew the second highest attendance numbers during an inaugural MLS match.

In October 2014, Mayor Jacobs joined the community in celebrating the historic groundbreaking of Orlando City Soccer’s new stadium in downtown Orlando, which was followed by a construction start in November. The “March to the Match” celebration, on October 16, marked a monumental milestone in the continued transformation of Orange County into a mecca of economic, cultural and sports opportunities, which are essential to supporting the region’s increasingly Other dignitaries on the field included diverse and creative population. member of Orange County’s Board of County Commissioners, Orlando

The stadium is part of Orange County’s approved use of tourism tax dollars for a $94.5 million venues package, marking the transformational era of sports, creativity and arts-driven economic development and innovation for the region.

The Orlando City Lions will play in their new stadium beginning in the 2016 season. The new stadium is considered one of the best facilities for sports in the country. With capacity for 19,500, the stadium will include a fullroof canopy built to enhance crowd noise, a natural grass playing surface, a sunken field and a scoreboard balcony bar. Along with the new MLS soccer stadium, local citizens will enjoy 19 new, multi-use athletic fields, perfect for soccer throughout Orange County.

Orange County’s approval of a new, multiuse, soccer-centric stadium played a key role in the creation of the new MLS team. Global soccer icon and team captain Ricardo Kaká joined the Orlando City Soccer Club in 2014, boosting the club’s transformation into the 21st franchise of the MLS. The week leading up to Sunday’s game was filled with events organized by Orlando City Soccer Club, including a benefit for the Orlando City Foundation, a Purple Pride 5K Run, an Orlando City Pub Crawl, and Soccer Under the Stars, a free night of movie, popcorn and games at the Lake Eola amphitheater. The Lions will play the remaining 2015 season at the renovated Citrus Bowl.

62.510 mil pessoas. Público recorde do estádio Citrus Bowl, superando até mesmo os jogos da Copa do Mundo da de 1994. O Orlando City já havia feito história antes mesmo de entrar em campo pela primeira vez pela Major League Soccer (MLS), para o confronto com o New York City FC nesse domingo. Moradores da Flórida se misturaram a turistas de diversas partes do mundo, muitos deles brasileiros.

Kaká marcou o primeiro gol dos Lions na MLS já nos acréscimos, aos 46 do segundo tempo, em um jogo que não poderia ser mais emocionante.

Naquele momento, o Orlando City perdia por 1 a 0 e tinha um homem a menos em campo. A partida terminou empatada em 1 a 1.

“Fantástico o primeiro jogo. Quanto ao resultado, claro que todos nós queríamos uma vitória, mas tudo aquilo que foi feito aqui foi demais,“ disse Kaká. "Eu realmente tinha o desejo de fazer o primeiro gol da história desse clube na liga e deu certo, fiz o primeiro gol. Queria agradecer a todo mundo que participou disso. 62 mil pessoas aqui, o estádio estava lindo, a cidade abraçou o jogo de uma forma fantástica. Realmente uma estreia maravilhosa. Ainda vamos melhorar muito, mas esse jogo foi histórico.”

Antes mesmo da partida começar, ao ver a primeira escalação da história dos Lions na MLS no telão do estádio, o proprietário do Orlando City, o brasileiro Flávio Augusto da Silva, se emocionou. Abraçado aos dois filhos que o acompanham desde a fundação do clube, em 2010, o presidente do OCSC, Phil Rawlins, gritava alto o nome de cada jogador. O técnico Adrian Heath entrou em campo agitando os braços e pedindo o grito da torcida, que respondeu com um rugido ensurdecedor, que tornou a estreia dos Lions na maior liga da América do Norte inesquecível.

Quando os jogadores do plantel inaugural dos Lions na MLS ganharam o gramado, foram ovacionados. A partida também marcou a estreia do New York City FC na liga e de sua estrela, o atacante David Villa, campeão do mundo com a seleção espanhola.

Kaká quase marcou o primeiro gol dele na liga norte-americana já aos 11 minutos do primeiro tempo, aproveitando o passe do lateral da seleção portuguesa sub-20 Rafael Ramos.

Aos 25 do primeiro tempo, Rafael Ramos trabalhou com o atacante colombiano Carlos Rivas, que chutou de fora da área, obrigando o goleiro do NYCFC, Josh Saunders, a desviar a bola para escanteio.

Aos 37, o atacante da seleção de Trinidad e Tobago, Kevin Molino entregou para Kaká finalizar de perna direita, quase na meia-lua da grande área. Saunders fez uma ótima desefa.

No início do segundo tempo, Molino criou a melhor chance de gol do jogo, chutando cruzado. Saunders alcançou com as pontas dos dedos.

Aos 30 minutos da segunda etapa, David Villa carregou a bola pela direita do ataque do NYCFC e encontrou o atacante da seleção dos EUA, Mix Diskerud, na entrada da área, de frente para o gol. Diskerud botou efeito na bola, que fez uma curva, saindo do alcance do goleiro Donovan Ricketts. Diskerud marcou o primeiro gol da história do NYCFC na MLS. A sete minutos do fim da etapa regulamentar, o zagueiro do Orlando City, Aurélien Collin, foi expulso, depois de um carrinho em David Villa. Perdendo por um a zero, com um jogador a menos, o Orlando City não se encolheu. Tampouco os 62,5 mil torcedores.

Breakfast with the Association of Evangelical Ministers in Orlando

Ezequiel "37 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”

Ele me levou de um lado para outro, e pude ver que era enorme o número de ossos no vale, e que os ossos estavam muito secos.3 Ele me perguntou: "Filho do homem, esses ossos poderão tornar a viver? " Eu respondi: "Ó Soberano Senhor, só tu o sabes".4 Então ele me disse: "Profetize a esses ossos e diga-lhes: ‘Ossos secos, ouçam a palavra do Senhor! 5 Assim diz o Soberano Senhor a estes ossos: Farei um espírito entrar em vocês, e vocês terão vida.6 Porei tendões em vocês e farei aparecer carne sobre vocês e os cobrirei com pele; porei um espírito em vocês, e vocês terão vida. Então vocês saberão que eu sou o Senhor’ ".7 E eu profetizei conforme a ordem recebida. E, enquanto profetizava, houve um barulho, um som de chocalho, e os ossos se juntaram, osso com osso.8 Olhei, e os ossos foram cobertos de tendões e de carne, e depois de pele, mas não havia espírito neles.9 A seguir ele me disse: "Profetize ao espírito; profetize, filho do homem, e diga-lhe: ‘Assim diz o Soberano Senhor:

egardless of where you go, always take your faith with you. Your faith will help you through everything and God will always find his children, no matter where they are. Today I faced my faith and my emotions. God makes me happy, and always receives me with open arms. I want Orlando to be a place of Faith, a place where we all fear God, and respect each other, and take our business under Christianity principles.

We must bring Faith in our lives, and live to see the abundance of graces that will come upon us.

Today The Florida Christian University hosted the Pastors Association Breakfast.

It was the last event held at that building since it will be demolished to give place to a great space for conference and events that will house 250 people, with a state of the art facility. We celebrated our Faith, heard the Word, sang and prayed, most of all we prayed to each other. It was an incomparable feeling of love and peace.

Being a part of the Florida Christian University family has been a blessing to all of us, we wish Dr. Anthony Portigliatti, family and crew all the best.

Rick Singh

A Friend of the Community and a Public Servant

Introduction By Laiz Rodrigues Orlando has been a target of so many great things lately, but nothing happens for no reason. We have community leaders that work really hard so we get to live in this great place, and have the best city to live, visit, and raise our children, one of these leaders is Mr. Rick Singh.

Tthree years ago, after working 30 years, from the bottom up to the Orange County Property Appraisers Office, Mr. Singh decided to run for the position of Property Appraiser. He is not the Taxes Collector, he is the one who was elected to make sure the valuation of all properties in Orange County are done properly.

Any property, commercial, or residential, businesses, even Parks and attractions, must go through his office, imagine the amount of responsibility. www.ocpafl.org Not only he got elected, but his administration has been through a significant amount of great changes. A new website, a faster and proficient data center with enough capacity to hold more information, and one of the lowest waiting time in record. When you visit the OCPAFL the wait is minimum, there is service available in different languages, and the personnel is nice and courteous. Very efficient.

During his first year in office, Mr Rick Singh not only supported the community in general, but he also worked hard bringing back to Orange County US$ 52 Million Dollars in fraudulent taxes that were recovered. Today two years later, more than US$230 Million Dollars are back to Orange County.

Under his administration the OCPAFL created classes and seminars targeting several professional levels and also for the community in general. The OCPA FL also participates in the Hispanic Chamber Business Conference, Mayor Buddy Dyer Neighborhood Summit, was at HOLA’s 10th Anniversary in 2014, City of Orlando Veterans Parade, Hosts open houses for Chambers of Commerce, supporting small businesses and also created a mobile office to serve Orange County.

Mr. Singh is also Honorary Chair of the Florida Diversity Inc., hosts the Annual Gandhi Diversity Breakfast, Mr. Singh has honored his oath every day, and will continue, leaving a legacy of excellence.

The first thing that strikes you about Orange County Property Appraiser Rick Singh is his friendly personality and gregarious attitude.

When I sat down with him and began asking questions about his office, and all the related material that it deals with, Mr. Singh was a wealth of information; the type of thing that comes from a lifetime of expertise in the field.

Property Appraiser Singh is a South American immigrant. Born in Guyana and raised there until he emigrated at the age of 10, Mr. Singh had an experience common to many who now call the Central Florida area home.

Growing up in The Bronx, New York, he had to overcome cultural and verbal obstacles if he wanted to succeed.

“It was amazing to me, coming off that plane at 10 years old, the first plane I’d ever been on, leaving a tropical third world country, and landing in snowy, bright New York,” he said.

“Being raised by a single mother was tough, but I learned quickly that if you wanted the American dream, then you had to work for it.”

After graduating from Aviation High School, Mr. Singh enlisted in the U.S. Army. Following his honorable discharge, Rick and his family settled in Orange County, and opened a small auto maintenance business. In 1994, things changed in a way that would affect his life. Mr. Singh was hired to work in the Orange County Property Appraiser’s Office as a field appraiser. In 1999, he became a State Certified Appraiser, and later, a certified real estate agent and broker. After owning and operating businesses in the Orlando area for over 10 years, Mr. Singh had a vision.

“I worked a lot with the Property Appraiser’s office, and I was always shocked at how mishandled leadership made the office less open, and less accurate in what they were doing. I knew that there was a way to innovate and use technology to create a better product for the people of Orange County, and I answered the call to serve.”

And serve he did. In the last 2 years, the Orange County Property Appraiser’s Office has seen many overhauls, including equipping their field ap-

praisers with the best in new technology and software, the building and expansion of an award winning website, and doubling the number of State Certified and Licensed Appraisers working in the office. Mr. Singh brought in experts to handle the 84,000 hotel rooms and 14,000 timeshares here in the county, as well as specialists trained in theme park appraisal.

Property Appraiser Singh has also made it his job to reach out to smaller, under-served communities, including seniors, veterans, low income groups, and minority constituencies, including Orange County’s Brazilian community.

The OCPA website, which now translates into over 45 languages, made Portuguese one of the first languages that they focused on. Direct outreach has been made to the Brazilian community, both to better engage Brazilian residents of the county, and Brazilian owned businesses. In fact, Brazil is the third largest international investor in Orange County, responsible for over $122 million of investment in the last year.

The Orange County Property Appraiser’s Office has hosted open houses for the Brazilian-American Chamber, spoken at our events, and gone out of their way to make sure that our community, just as much as any other, is well served by Appraiser Singh and his office. The level of responsible government that Mr. Singh pushes for is almost unheard of in this day and age, but is something we need much more of.

Mr. Singh is a dedicated public servant who likes going that extra mile, and I for one am appreciative of the added effort. “Anything worth doing is worth doing right,” Appraiser Singh added. “I for one never forget who put me in office, or why I was elected. I’m here to do the people’s work, and that’s always my main focus.”

A primeira coisa que chama a atenção sobre Orange County Property Appraiser Rick Singh é sua personalidade e atitude sempre amigável. Quando me sentei com ele e comecei a fazer perguntas sobre o seu escritório, todo o material relacionado a Mr. Singh era de uma riqueza de informações enorme; o tipo de coisa que vem de uma vida inteira de experiência no campo.

Property Appraiser Singh é um imigrante sul-americano.

Nascido e criado na Guiana, até emigrou com a idade de 10 anos, Mr. Singh teve uma experiência comum a muitos que hoje chamamos a Central Florida de nossa casa. Criado no Bronx, Nova York, ele teve que superar os obstáculos culturais e verbais, para ter sucesso.

Mr. Singh convocou especialistas para lidar com os 84.000 quartos de hotel e 14.000 timesharing existente no Condado, bem como especialistas treinados na avaliação. de parques temáticos.

Property Appraiser Singh também deixou seu trabalho para alcançar as comunidades carentes, minorias, incluindo os idosos, os veteranos, os grupos de baixa renda, e grupos minoritários, incluindo a comunidade brasileira de Orange County.

A cerimônia de premiação foi realizada em São Paulo no dia 3 de setembro de 2014.

É uma honra apresentar na Revista AboutUs este talento que já produziu obras fronteiras à frente e que desejo que com esta reportagem novos desafios venham a fazer parte da sua prancheta mágica.

O MINIMALISMO DE GEPP

Sua história de arte se baseia muito na ilustração das pessoas e seus hábitos.

Zaza Jardim Como é esta viagem na rotina Como o desenho invadiu a sua comum tão incomum? vida?

O desenho invadiu minha vida desde criança. Desenhar era um dos meus brinquedos, passava horas rabiscando no chão da sala, fui cartão de visita da casa.

Todo pessoal que chegava, minha mãe, minha avó, pediam... Haroldinho (meu apelido de criança) vai pegar seus desenhos, cheias de orgulho. Nunca mais parei, na escola me lembro que junto com mais dois desenhistas, vendíamos nossos desenhos e a moeda era folhas de papel. Esse desenho vale dez folhas, aquele quinze. A diretora acabou proibindo, porque os pais começaram a reclamar que tinham que comprar cadernos toda hora. Depois na faculdade de Desenho Industrial do Mackenzie, eu adorava desenhar os murais, caricaturava os professores e criava cartuns com os fatos que aconteciam.

Da faculdade, eu entrei no Jornal A Gazeta Esportiva, através do meu amigo Octacílio Tomanick, fã dos meus murais e seu pai na época era o médico da empresa Folha de São Paulo, me apresentando ao diretor do jornal, foi em 1974 Comecei desenhando os gráficos de gols da Copa do Mundo, demonstrando como a jogada acontecia. Desenhava caricaturas, cartuns e conheci o Maia (José Roberto Maia) e formamos um dupla desenhando uma página semanal de cartuns sobre futebol e o esporte.

Em 1975 a dupla foi convidada para desenhar no Jornal da Tarde, aquilo foi um sonho graficamente, era o grande jornal da época. Foi uma grande escola, foram dez anos desenhando caricaturas, criando capas, a charge política diária. Foi lá que criamos bonecos caricatos, que deu origem a um programa de televisão com o Agildo Ribeiro. Criamos mapas caricatos e maquetes que deram também origem a muitos projetos, como a maquete do Memorial da América Latina, exposta no Salão da Criatividade desde de sua inauguração e a outras tantas maquetes no estilo caricato.

Montamos um estúdio e desenhamos para varias agências de propaganda, jornais internos de empresas, principalmente bancos. Revistas Veja, Placar, Status e varias outras. Projetos de criação e execução para decoração de Natal em shoppings. Desfizemos a dupla em 2006.

As pessoas sempre me cativaram, lembro que a primeira caricatura que eu fiz foi a do meu pai, quando eu era criança e não parei mais de fazer caricaturas.

Por causa dos mapas caricatos, ou seja, que não obedecem a nenhuma escala, eu e o Maia decidimos que as pessoas eram importantes, sejam elas conhecidas ou históricas, mas também as pessoas comuns. Foi assim que aquilo que eu já adorava, que era desenhar pessoas e observar o dia a dia, foi se apurando e melhorando cada vez mais. Adoro sair pelas cidades de bloquinho na mão, rabiscando as pessoas, para depois dar o acabamento final com a memória visual, para depois, colocar nos mapas. Fotografar também é bom mas é muito desagradável apontar a máquina para alguém. Lembro que uma vez fui ao centro da cidade de São Paulo, sendo um lugar cheio de contraventores, acabou em confusão. Com o bloquinho ninguém vê.

As cidades também são sua paixão, como acontece de se dedicar a este mapeamento imenso e quais cidades você á se dedicou?

Comecei a desenhar mapas no Jornal da Tarde, à partir de uma pauta sobre a Avenida Faria Lima na cidade São Paulo, curioso é que eu nem queria fazer, achava complicado e trabalhoso para fazer em pouco tempo, acabei desenhando por muita insistência do editor na época. Ficou tão legal que depois desenhamos um mapa de Los Angeles para a revista Quatro Rodas mostrando um roteiro turístico para quem ia ver as Olimpíadas daquele ano.

Perdi a conta de quantos mapas eu já desenhei, sei que quase todas as cidades capitais do Brasil, várias cidades do interior do Brasil e São Paulo, muitos bairros da cidade de São Paulo, alguns estados e muitos países como o Alasca, França, Egito, Turquia. É um trabalho de meses, entre dois e três normalmente. São muitos detalhes para levarem as pessoas a descobrir. Tenho um método que é semelhante ao de colecionar um álbum de figurinhas, cada etapa do mapa concluída é uma figurinha colada, até acabar o álbum(mapa), com uma diferença que é o de cumprir o prazo combinado. Exige muita paciência...

Quais os projetos que estão acontecendo em sua vida e quais os que mais desejaria realizar?

Nos dias de hoje, me dedico exclusivamente aos mapas, tenho um sócio na cidade de Salvador em uma empresa chamada Artemapas. Eventualmente desenho uma caricatura por prazer e posto no Facebook para os amigos.

Projeto que eu quero realizar junto com a Artemapas, são os circuitos do Carnaval em Salvador mostrando todas aquelas cenas do meu jeito bem caricato.

Como também projetos já encomen dados como a Praia do Forte.

Sonhos?

Tenho... Criar um museu com cenas da nossa História com bonecos caricatos e fazer uma maquete da cidade de Salvador.

O que diria para os cartunistas do mercado que estão buscando um espaço reconhecido?

General Pinochet

Nosso mercado está tão difícil, pouca gente publicando...

Ainda acredito na diversidade da Internet, como um grande meio, quem sabe um dia, pode ser um bom mercado para nós, desenhistas aqui no Brasil.

Para nossos amigos que estão começando é não desistir... desenhar sempre, treinar, gostar, evoluir, se dedicar nem que seja por poucas horas, como tenho feito com as caricaturas, postando no facebook, por puro prazer e relizando as encomendas que as cidades do mundo almejam realizar.

Chef Michael Mina's newest concept celebrates a renaissance of French technique BARDOT Brasserie, Las Vegas' debut French concept from James Beard award-winning chef Michael Mina, is now open for dinner and weekend brunch at ARIA Resort & Casino. Paying homage to the skillful culinary techniques, celebrated libations and sexy atmosphere for which The City of Light is renowned, Chef Mina has created a stylish and unforgettable interpretation of a Parisian brasserie in the center of The Strip.

"Upon entering BARDOT, every detail transports guests to a cafe along the Champs-Elysees in the 1920s," said Mina. "I am thrilled to introduce this restaurant to Las Vegas and for it to be a part of one of the most dynamic culinary scenes in the world."

Le Menu To create BARDOT's menu, Chef Mina and Executive Chef Joshua Smith merged their travels to Paris with exceptional culinary techniques to develop an array of imaginative dishes.

Inspired Cuisine - Chef Mina pays homage to classic French cuisine presenting an exquisite array of signature dishes that celebrate the iconic cafe culture of Paris.

• Traditional Onion Soup Gratinee is a gourmet masterpiece that guests can customize with Perigord truffles, braised oxtail and a soft-poached egg; while wings offer an ode to the traditional Duck A L'Orange dish.

BARDOT's version of a Croque Madame is piled high with Paris Ham and Gruyere Fondue then topped with an over-easy organic egg.

• Seafood Selections - BARDOT's extensive seafood menu includes exotic dishes such as Monkfish Bourride, Sauteed Skate Wing and Yellowfin Tuna Nicoise, in addition to a seafood tower that guests can personalize with lobster, king crab, oysters, clams and shrimp.

• Steak Frites - BARDOT offers the highest quality cuts of beef cooked over an oak wood and charcoal grill. The restaurant's Steak Frites is a perfect dish for French food aficionados and novices alike featuring an 8 oz.

Flat Iron, 12 oz. Ribeye or 8 oz.

Filet, which can be accompanied by bearnaise, au poivre, bordelaise or foie gras butter. Pair the dish with simply sinful beef fat fries and bon appetit!

•

Decadent Desserts - For dessert, Chefs Mina and Smith took the traditional French Macaron and cooked up a large-scale presentation of the ultra-decadent sweet, drizzled with chocolate sauce. Lemon fans will swoon over BARDOT's Lemon Meringue Tart, prepared with market citrus and fresh berries, while lovers of the classic French desserts will marvel at the Mille Fueille, a caramelized puff pastry with vanilla creme patisserie.

Sidewalk Café – A nod to Parisian sidewalk cafes, BARDOT features intimate seating outside of the restaurant for an entertaining dining and people-watching experience. Situated in the courtyard overlooking ARIA’s second-floor promenade, the locale’s French-inspired storefront and high windows transport guests to a 20th century literary café in Paris.

Finest Wines – Wood curated one of the most extensive by-the-glass programs, as well as the largest selection of French wines in Las Vegas at BARDOT, highlighting the finest small production and rare vintages from across the globe. Additionally, BARDOT will be one of the only restaurants in the country offering wines by the houses of Couly-Dutheil, Patrick Piuze and Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve, regarded as some of the finest in France.

Historic Spirits – Schoettler scoured the beverage world to garner BARDOT Brasserie’s impressive collection of historic spirits, including cognacs dating back to 1811 and Las Vegas’ largest selection of Chartreuse, the legendary French liqueur distilled by Carthusian Monks.

"1965" is a companion exhibit to "Make Some Noise: Students and the Civil Rights Movement," which opened at the Newseum in August 2013.

The exhibit features a section of the original F.W. Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., where in 1960 four African American college students launched the sit-in movement, and a bronze casting of the Birmingham, Ala., jail cell door behind which the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. penned his famous "Letter From Birmingham Jail" in 1963.

The Newseum opened its newest exhibit, "1965: Civil Rights at 50," which explores the dramatic civil rights events of 1965, from the historic march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., to the signing of the Voting Rights Act by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The Newseum's Digital Classroom website features a free learning module called "Making a Change," which explores the civil rights movement through the lenses of historical connections, media literacy, and civics and citizenship using videos, archival news footage and interviews.

These standards-aligned lesson plans will help teachers enhance student engagement with Newseum content, their communities and their peers across the country.

Lewis, hoje um congressista da Geórgia, relatou suas experiências sobre "Bloody Sunday" em sua novela gráfica "Março.

O Site Digital Classroom do Newseum apresenta um módulo de aprendizado gratuito chamado "fazer uma mudança", que explora o movimento dos direitos civis através das lentes de conexões históricas, a literacia mediática, e civismo e cidadania utilizando vídeos, ima gens de noticiários e entrevistas de arquivo. Esses planos de aula em padrões alinhados ajudam aos professores a melhorar o envolvimento dos alunos com o conteúdo Newseum, suas comunidades e seus pares em todo o país.

A exposição também inclui fotos impactantes que mostram manifestantes enfrentando os soldados em Selma e marchando para o Capitólio em Montgomery duas semanas mais tarde para a maior marcha de direitos civis que o Sul já havia visto.

"Nós simplesmente não podemos continuar com um sistema de retalhos que aborda apenas alguns dos riscos, mas temos de identificar e adoptar todos os métodos de prevenção mais eficazes, se estamos realmente comprometidos com a eliminação de mortes e lesões em acidentes de adolescentes."

O relatório é o primeiro passo para a obtenção de um amplo consenso entre todos os que trabalham para manter os motoristas adolescentes seguros.

"GDL envolve um sistema hierárquico de licenciamento em que motoristas novatos são gradualmente expostos a diversas situações de condução durante um período prolongado de tempo, gasto em ambientes de baixo risco", disse Dan Mayhew, principal autor e TIRF vice-presidente sênior. "Na sua essência, este novo quadro GDL é único na medida em que propõe extensivo conhecimento adquirido através da educação do motorista, dos requisitos de licenciamento e de ensaio, bem como tecnologia de monitoramento no veículo, todos integrados no programa GDL aprimorado e usado em oito componentes em fase chaves com reforço de componentes a todos os alunos e estágios intermediários.
