Taylor Swift - Long Live (feat. Paula Fernandes)

Lembrei desse sentimento
Gritando dentro de nós
Éramos todos meninos
E em cada um vivia uma paixão

Como na cena de um filme
Vencemos pesadelos
Enfrentando os dragões
Criados por nossos medos
Fruto da imaginação

De frente a uma nova era
Na onda de uma canção
Nós construímos história
Mente, alma e coração

Long live the walls
We crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined
Just for me and you
I was screaming long live
All the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered

I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the side-lines wishing for right now

We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we help them up for our town

De frente a uma nova era
Na onda de uma canção
Nós construímos história
Mente, alma e coração

Long live the walls
We crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined
Just for me and you
I was screaming long live
All the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid

Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life
Fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live
The look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered

Hold on
Just spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall

Lembrei do momento
Que fiz promessa pra nós dois
Pintando o nosso destino
Puro e simples, pleno
E sem fim

Que fosse assim
Sem um "goodbye"
Fosse pra sempre um "cheguei"
O sonho que construímos
Me vi feliz, eu te achei

Será muito mais
Que achar
Será muito além
Que pensar

Long live…

Glee - Summer Nights (HQ Version)

Summer Nights
Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast

I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting away, to oh oh the summer nights

Well-a well-a well-a huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun, but oh oh the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?

Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock

We stayed out 'till ten o'clock
Summer fling, don't mean a thing, but oh oh the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't have to bragg

Tell me more, tell me more
Cause he sounds like a drag

He got friendly, holding my hand
She got friendly down in the sand

He was sweet just turned eighteen
Well she was good you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but oh oh the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?

Tell me more, tell me more
Could she get me a friend?

It turned colder - that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more

Glee Cast - Do They Know It's Christmas?

Do They Know It's Christmas
It's christmas time,
There's no need to be afraid.
At christmas time
We let in light and banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At christmas time.

But say a prayer,
Pray for the other ones.
At christmas time it's hard
But when you're having fun...
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is
The bitter sting of tears
Where the christmas bells that are ringing
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well, tonight thank god it's them istead of you.

And there won't be snow in africa this christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life.
Ohh....
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's christmas time at all?

Here's to you...
Raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's christmas time at all?

Feed the world...
Feed the world...

Feed the world,
Let them know it's christmas time again.
Feed the world,
Let them know it's christmas time again.

Rod Stewart - The way you look tonight

Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

You're so lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Yes you're lovely, never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Yes you're lovely, never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight
Darling
Just the way you look tonight

Christmas

2011-12-15T12:34:00.003-02:00

The origin of Santa Claus begins in the 4th century with Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, an area in present day Turkey. By all accounts St. Nicholas was a generous man, particularly devoted to children. After his death around 340 A.D. he was buried in Myra, but in 1087 Italian sailors purportedly stole his remains and removed them to Bari, Italy, greatly increasing St. Nicholas' popularity throughout Europe.

His kindness and reputation for generosity gave rise to claims he that he could perform miracles and devotion to him increased. St. Nicholas became the patron saint of Russia, where he was known by his red cape, flowing white beard, and bishop's mitre.

In Greece, he is the patron saint of sailors, in France he was the patron of lawyers, and in Belgium the patron of children and travelers. Thousands of churches across Europe were dedicated to him and sometime around the 12th century an official church holiday was created in his honor. The Feast of St. Nicholas was celebrated December 6 and the day was marked by gift-giving and charity.

After the Reformation, European followers of St. Nicholas dwindled, but the legend was kept alive in Holland where the Dutch spelling of his name Sint Nikolaas was eventually transformed to Sinterklaas. Dutch children would leave their wooden shoes by the fireplace, and Sinterklaas would reward good children by placing treats in their shoes. Dutch colonists brought brought this tradition with them to America in the 17th century and here the Anglican name of Santa Claus emerged.

In 1822 Clement C. Moore composed the poem A Visit From Saint Nicholas, published as The Night Before Christmas as a gift for his children. In it, he portrays Santa Claus:

He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly,
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

Other countries feature different gift-bearers for the Christmas or Advent season: La Befana in Italy; The Three Kings in Spain, Puerto Rico, and Mexico; Christkindl or the Christ Child in Switzerland and Austria; Father Christmas in England; and, Pere Noël, Father Christmas or the Christ Child in France. Still, the figure of Santa Claus as a jolly, benevolent, plump man in a red suit described in Moore's poem remains with us today and is recognized by children and adults alike around the world.

Christmas Trees

In 16th-century Germany fir trees were decorated, both indoors and out, with apples, roses, gilded candies, and colored paper. In the Middle Ages, a popular religious play depicted the story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

A fir tree hung with apples was used to symbolize the Garden of Eden -- the Paradise Tree. The play ended with the prophecy of a saviour coming, and so was often performed during the Advent season.

The Christmas Tree was brought to England by Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert from his native Germany. The famous Illustrated News etching in 1848, featuring the Royal Family of Victoria, Albert and their children gathered around a Christmas tree in Windsor Castle, popularized the tree throughout Victorian England. Brought to America by the Pennsylvania Germans, the Christmas tree became by the late 19th century. Read even more about Christmas Trees

Focus on Christmas Traditions in US

The variations of the Christmas traditions of USA equal the number active cultures that have settled in the land. These cultural contributions were given a new lease of life by creative artists, authors, poets and songwriters, and it was melded together.

Christmas Stockings

According to legend, a kindly nobleman grew despondent over the death of his beloved wife and foolishly squandered his fortune. This left his three young daughters without dowries and thus facing a life of spinsterhood.

The generous St. Nicholas, hearing of the girls' plight, set forth to help. Wishing to remain anonymous, he rode his white horse by the nobleman's house and threw three small pouches of gold coins down the chimney where they were fortuitously captured by the stockings the young women had hung by the fireplace to dry.

Rihanna - We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris

We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris)
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind

It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Coldplay - Paradise

Paradise
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep

And dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

Ooohh

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She'll close her eyes
In the night
The stormy night
Away she'd fly

And dreams of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

She'd dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

La-la-la-la-la

And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I know the sun must set to rise

This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

Lady Gaga - You And I

Yoü And I
It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leavin' without yoü

Yoü taste like whiskey when yoü kiss me awe
I'd give anything again to be your babydoll
This time I'm not leaving without yoü

He said, sit back down where yoü belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
And yoü said to me

(There's somethin')
Somethin', somethin' about this place
Somethin' 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Somethin', somethin' about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah somethin' about baby yoü and I

It's been two years since I let yoü go
I couldn't listen to a joke or rock n' roll
And muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart

On my birthday yoü sang me "Heart of Gold"
With a guitar hummin' and no clothes
This time I'm not leaving without yoü

He said, sit back down where yoü belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
And yoü said to me

(There's somethin')
Somethin', somethin' about this place
Somethin' 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Somethin', somethin' about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah somethin' about baby yoü and I

Yoü and I, yoü yoü and I
Yoü yoü and I, yoü yoü and I
Yoü and I, yoü yoü and I
Baby I'd rather die, without yoü and I

(Come on put your drinks up)

We gotta whole lotta money but we still pay rent
'Cause you can't buy a house in heaven
There's only three men that ima serve my whole life
It's my daddy, and Nebraska and Jesus Christ

(There's somethin')
Somethin', somethin' about the chase
(6 whole years)
I'm a New York woman born to run you down
Still want my lipstick all over your face
There's somethin', somethin' about just knowin' when it's right

So put your drinks up for Nebraska, for Nebraska, Nebraska I love ya

Yoü and I, yoü yoü and I
Baby I'd rather die
Without yoü and I
Yoü and I, yoü yoü and I
Nebraska I'd rather die, without yoü and I

It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leaving without yoü

Thanksgiving

2011-11-24T11:02:00.003-02:00

O Dia de Ação de Graças é comemorado nos Estados Unidos e no Canadá e simboliza um dia de gratidão por tudo de bom que aconteceu durante o ano. Neste dia as pessoas comemoram com festas e orações.

Thanksgiving in the United States is a time to gather with family and friends, share a traditional meal and express gratitude for the good things in life. It can also be a time of service to others in the community.

Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, Thanksgiving traces its origins to harvest festivals. It was customary to express gratitude for a bountiful harvest in the cultures of both the Pilgrims who sailed from England in 1620 and the Native Americans they encountered.

A three-day harvest celebration held in 1621 in Plymouth Colony (part of today’s Massachusetts) is generally considered to be the first American Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims had arrived the year before on the ship The Mayflower. They hadn’t brought enough food, and it was too late to plant crops. Half the colony died during the winter of 1620–1621. In the spring, local Wampanoag Indians taught the colonists how to grow corn (maize) and other crops, and helped them master hunting and fishing. They also showed the colonists how to cook cranberries, corn and squash.

The colonists had bountiful crops in the fall of 1621. They invited their Wampanoag benefactors to feast on wild turkeys, duck, geese, fish and shellfish, corn, green vegetables and dried fruits. Wampanoag Chief Massasoit and his tribe brought venison.

Harvest festivals became a regular affair in New England. Thanksgiving was observed on various dates in the states until 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as the national Thanksgiving holiday. In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt signed a law fixing Thanksgiving on the fourth (not always the last) Thursday in November.

GATHERING TOGETHER AND HELPING OUT

Many Thanksgiving traditions come from that 1621 harvest celebration. Sheaves of wheat or corn are often used as decorations. Roast turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie are commonly served at Thanksgiving dinner. But as the U.S. population becomes more diverse, so does the Thanksgiving meal. Nowadays, sitting next to the turkey might be a dish of tamales, tabbouleh, couscous or sauerkraut.

Colleges serve a special meal for students remaining on campus during Thanksgiving, and international students are often invited to share Thanksgiving with local families. U.S. troops stationed overseas are served a Thanksgiving meal. When Americans at home sit down at the table and give thanks, they often express gratitude for their freedom and the sacrifices made to preserve it.

Many people prepare Thanksgiving meals and serve them to the needy. Others donate to food drives, work at food warehouses or deliver groceries to soup kitchens, churches and other charitable groups.

Thanksgiving is the busiest travel period of the year because families make a special effort to be together. Some favorite pastimes include watching television coverage of the annual Macy’s Department Store parade in New York and of American football games played around the country. The day after Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, an important time for U.S. retailers.

One whimsical Thanksgiving tradition is the annual “pardoning” of a turkey by the U.S. president, who spares the bird from the dinner table. The bird goes on to live out its life at a petting zoo.

NATIVE AMERICANS

The harvest celebration of 1621 was followed by a long period of injustice and conflict between Native Americans and Europeans. Many Native Americans in the United States see Thanksgiving as a “National Day of Mourning.” However, others enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal at home or in large community gatherings, taking the opportunity to spend a day with family and friends. Each year in southern California, the Morongo Band of Mission Indians donates thousands of turkeys to charities and families in need.

Livros à moda antiga para as crianças

2011-11-22T17:08:00.001-02:00

Os livros impressos talvez estejam sendo superados pelo crescimento dos livros eletrônicos, mas eles têm um domínio tenaz sobre um grupo particular: as crianças. Os pais insistem que a próxima geração de leitores passe seus primeiros anos com os livros à moda antiga.

Este é o caso até de pais que são leitores ávidos de livros baixados em Kindles, iPads, laptops e telefones. Eles admitem que têm padrões de preferência diferentes para as crianças e explicam que querem que os filhos sejam cercados por livros impressos, que vivenciem a virada física das páginas e aprendam sobre formatos, cores e animais.

Os pais também dizem que gostam de se aninhar com os filhos e um livro e temem que um aparelho brilhante possa conquistar toda a atenção. Além disso, se o Joãozinho babar, o livro talvez seja mais fácil de limpar do que o tablet.
“E tem aquela intimidade, a intimidade de ler e tocar o mundo; aquele maravilhamento quando ela tenta pegar a página comigo”, disse Leslie Van Every, 41, usuária leal do Kindle que mora em San Francisco e cujo marido, Eric, gosta de ler no iPhone. Mas para sua filha de 2 anos e meio, Geórgia, a opção são os livros de árvores mortas, empilhados e jogados por toda a casa.

“Ela só lê livros impressos”, disse Van Every, acrescentando com uma risada que trabalha para uma empresa digital, CBS Interactive. “Ah, que vergonha”.

Enquanto o mundo dos livros adultos está se digitalizando a uma velocidade maior do que a esperada pelos editores, as vendas de títulos eletrônicos para crianças com menos de 8 anos quase não se alteraram. Elas representam menos de 5% das vendas totais anuais dos livros infantis, estimam vários editores, comparadas com mais de 25% em algumas categorias de livros adultos.

Muitos livros impressos também são comprados para serem dados de presente, já que as crianças de seis anos não entendem as delícias do cartão de presente da Amazon.

Os livros infantis também são um ponto luminoso para as livrarias de tijolo e cimento, pois os pais muitas vezes querem folhear o livro todo antes de comprá-lo, algo que em geral não podem fazer com os livros eletrônicos. Um estudo encomendado pela HarperCollins em 2010 revelou que os livros comprados para crianças de 3 a 7 anos frequentemente eram descobertos em uma livraria local –em 38% das vezes.

E há uma questão para debate na era digital: alguma coisa é perdida quando se tira uma foto de um livro de figuras e a converte em um livro eletrônico? Junko Yokota, professor e diretora do Centro para Ensino por Meio de Livros Infantis da Universidade Nacional Louis em Chicago, acha que a resposta é sim, porque o formato e tamanho do livro muitas vezes fazem parte da experiência de leitura. Páginas mais largas podem ser usadas para transmitir cenários mais amplos ou um formato mais alto pode ser escolhido para histórias de arranha-céus.

Tamanho e formato “tornam-se parte de uma experiência emocional, uma experiência intelectual. Há muita coisa que você não pode padronizar e enfiar em um formato eletrônico”, diz Yokota, que dá palestras sobre como decidir quando um livro infantil é mais adequado para formato digital ou impresso.
Os editores dizem que gradualmente estão convertendo mais livros de figuras ao formato digital, apesar de ser um processo caro e demorado, e os desenvolvedores vêm criando aplicativos interativos para livros infantis.

O lançamento de novos tablets da Barnes & Noble e Amazon neste outono deve aumentar a demanda para livros eletrônicos para crianças, mas ainda assim vários editores suspeitam que muitos pais ainda preferirão as versões impressas.

“Definitivamente há uma predisposição para imprimir” disse Jon Yaged, presidente e editor do Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group, que publicou “The Pout-Pout Fish” (o peixe lampreia) de Deborah Diesen e “On The Night You Were Born” (na noite que você nasceu), por Nancy Tillman.

“E os pais não têm o menor problema em comprar livros eletrônicos para si mesmos”, acrescentou.
Este é o caso de Ari Wallach, empreendedor em Nova York obcecado por tecnologia que ajuda empresas a se atualizarem tecnologicamente. Ele mesmo lê no Kindle, no iPad e no iPhone, mas o quarto dos filhos gêmeos está cheio de livros impressos.

“Sei que sou luddita nesse caso, mas há algo muito pessoal em um livro que não existe em 1.000 arquivos em um iPad, há algo que é conectado e emotivo, algo com o qual cresci e com o qual quero que eles cresçam”, disse ele.

“Reconheço que quando tiverem minha idade, será difícil encontrar um ‘livro de árvore morta’”, acrescentou. “Isso dito, acho que o aprendizado com livros é um rito de passagem tão importante quanto aprender a comer com utensílios ou usar o vaso sanitário.”

Alguns pais não querem fazer a mudança para seus filhos nem mesmo na idade escolar. Alexandra Tyler e seu marido leem em Kindles, mas para seu filho Wolfie, 7, os livros são todos impressos.

“De alguma forma, acho diferente”, disse ela. Quando você lê um livro para criança de verdade, ele envolve todos os sentidos. Ensina a eles a virar a página. Tem o cheiro do papel, o tato.”

Há muitos programas de computador que professam ajudar as crianças a aprenderem a ler, por exemplo, dizendo em voz alta uma palavra ou foto iluminada. Nem todos os pais concordam; Matthew Thomson, 38, executivo da Klout, site de mídia social, experimentou esse programa com seu filho Finn, de 5 anos. Mas ele acredita que o filho vai aprender a ler mais rapidamente com a página impressa. Além disso, os vários atrativos dos iPads se tornam uma distração.

“Quando vamos para a cama, e ele sabe que é hora de ler, ele diz: ‘Vamos brincar um pouco de Angry Birds’, disse Thomson. “Se ele pegar o iPad, não vai ler, vai querer jogar. Aí, a concentração para a leitura sai pela janela.”

[Nicki Minaj]
I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Trying to forgive you for abandoning me
Praying but I think I?m still an angel away
Angel away, yeah strange in a way
Maybe that is why I chase strangers away
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become near when they aiming at me
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all see blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I?m just summising
Win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher
More fire

[Rihanna]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

[Nicki Minaj]
Everybody wanna try to box me in
Suffocating everytime it locks me in
Paint they own pictures than they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins

Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can every be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
So we become alive in a time of fear
And I aint got no muthaf-cking time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
But when you go hard your nay?s become yay?s
Yankee Stadium with Jay?s and Kanye?s

[Rihanna]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

[Nicki Minaj - Bridge]
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win

[Rihanna - Chorus]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

Adele - Someone Like You

Someone Like You
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you

Old friend
Why are you so shop
It ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

You'd know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summery haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes they're memories made
Who would have known how bitter-sweet this would taste

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah, yeah

O que te leva a decidir comprar um livro?

2011-11-10T10:03:00.002-02:00

6 critérios adotados por Caminhante Diurno para decidir se compra ou não um livro.

1. O livro não existe na biblioteca

Bibliotecas não costumam ter lançamentos ou livros específicos de algumas áreas. Em geral, bibliotecas foram uma rede (como os Faróis do Saber, aqui em Curitiba). Caso não tenha encontrado na estante, quem sabe seja possível mandar trazer de outra. Senão, o jeito é comprar mesmo.

2. É um dos meus livros preferidos

E quem irá dizer que não existe razão nas coisas feitas pelo coração? Alguns livros fazem parte da nossa história e faz todo sentido tê-los.

3. É um livro de consulta

Além do incômodo de não ter o livro à mão sempre que precisar, nesse tipo de livro é bom fazer marcas ou anotações. Vale à pena ter o seu.

4. É um livro importante na minha área

É sempre bom ter à mão os clássicos da sua área de conhecimento. Eles servem de referência a todo instante, seja por algum artigo a ser escrito ou alguma dúvida a ser esclarecida.

5. É do meu autor favorito

Autores favoritos são como parentes muito queridos, dá vontade de ter por perto. Nesse caso, vale comprar edições ilustradas, traduções novas, capas bonitas…

6. Eu vou morrer se não ler esse livro!

Às vezes livros causam um furor muito grande, e todos à nossa volta só falam disso. É como um filme, que quanto mais tempo ficamos sem saber, maior o risco de nos contarem a história ou perder a onde. Vá lá e compre. E depois, se não merecer espaço na estante, doe para a biblioteca.

Você concorda? o que te leva a comprar um livro?

Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger ft. Christina Aguilera

Oh
Oh

Just soot for the stars if it feels right
Then aim for my heart if you feel like
Take me away and make it okay
I swear I'll behave

You wanted control, so we waited
I put on a show, now I make it
You say I'm a kid, my ego is big
I don't give a shit

And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

Maybe it's hard when you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me, I'll make you believe
That I've got the key

So get in the car, we can ride it
Wherever you want, get inside it
And you wanna steer, but I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here

And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

(Christina Aguilera)
You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

So watch and learn, I won't show you twice
Head to toe, ooh baby rub me right
If I share my secret, you're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you (take me by the tongue)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

Tears In Heaven
Eric Clapton

Would you know my name
If I saw you in Heaven?
Will you be the same
If I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in Heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in Heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in Heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in Heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the dark
There's peace
I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in Heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in Heaven?
Will you be the same
If I saw you in Heaven?

Biblioteca Indica - Bibliotecas virtuais

O ex-presidente da Índia, Abdul Kalam, disse uma vez: "uma biblioteca digital é onde o passado encontra o presente e cria o futuro". Nessas bibliotecas virtuais, o internauta pode baixar livros inteiros sem gastar um centavo. Tem de tudo: literatura, livros de receitas, poesias, livros didáticos, entre muitos outros.

Algumas bibliotecas digitais também trazem conteúdo multimídia; com fotos, áudio e vídeo. Dá até para baixar a obra literária completa de Machado de Assis. Esses sites têm se tornado referência não só para os amantes da literatura como para professores, alunos e pesquisadores em geral.

Warwick Avenue - Duffy

When I get to Warwick Avenue
Meet me by the entrance of the tube
We can talk things over a little time
Promise me you won't stand by the light

When I get to Warwick Avenue
Please drop the past and be true
Don't think we're okay
Just because I'm here
You hurt me bad but I won't shed a tear

I'm leaving you for the last time baby
You think you're loving,
But you don't love me
And I've been confused
Outta my mind lately
You think you're loving,
But I want to be free, baby
You've hurt me.

When I get to Warwick Avenue
We'll spend an hour but no more than two
Our only chance to speak once more
I showed you the answers, now here's the door

When I get to Warwick Avenue
I'll tell ya baby there we're through

I'm leaving you for the last time baby
You think you're loving,
But you don't love me
I've been confused
outta my mind lately
You think you're loving,
But you don't love me
I want to be free, baby
You've hurt me.

All the days spent together
I wish for better,
But I didn't want the train to come
Now it's departed, I'm broken hearted
Seems like we never started
All those days spent together
When I wished for better
And I didn't want the train to come.
No, no.

You think you're loving
But you don't love me
I want to be free, baby
You've hurt me
You don't love me
I want to be free
Baby you've hurt me

Body And Soul (feat. Tony Bennett)
Amy Winehouse

You're making me blue
All that you do
Seems unfair
You try not to hear
Turn a deaf ear
To my prayer
It seems you don't want to see
What you are doing to me
My arms are waiting to caress you
And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sight
For you, dear, only
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you
Body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul
I can't believe it
It´s hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending?
It looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more change to prove, dear
My life a wreck you?re making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you
Body and soul
Life's dreary for me
Day's seem to be long as years
I've looked for the sun
But can see none
Through my tears
Your heart must be like a stone
To leave me like this alone
When you could make my life worth living
By taking what I'm set on giving, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul

Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved

Beauty queen of only eighteen, she
had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her, she
always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow, I want more

(CHORUS)
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved - 2X.

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

(CHORUS)
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved - 4X

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

(CHORUS)
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved - 4X

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

(I've Had) The Time Of My Life
Glee

Now I've had the time of my life
No, I've never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could diguise it secretly
So we take each others hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency

Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love, because

I've had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth,
And I owe it all to you

Hey Baby

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go,
don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes I know it's on your mind,
when you say "Stay with me tonight"
(Stay with me)

Just remember, you're the one thing,
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something,
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life,
(I've had the time of my life)
No, I've never felt this way before,
Yes I swear it's the truth
(Yes I swear)
And I owe it all to you
Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
(through everywhere)
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you

(REPEAT 2X)
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before (Never Felt this way)
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
And I owe it all to you
(Now I've had the time of my life)

Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child O'mine

He's got a smile
And it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
But everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky

Now and then when I see his face
It takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long
I'll probably break down and cry

Sweet child 'o mine
Sweet love of mine

He's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
His hair reminds me
Of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Sweet child o' mine

AVRIL LAVIGNE - ALICE

Tripping out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
yeah, I fell down

I'm freaking out
So, where am I now?
Upside down
And I can't stop it now
It can't stop me now
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh

oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll get by
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I won't cry

I found myself
In Wonderland
Get back on
My feet again

Is this real?
Is it pretend?
I'll take a stand
Until the end

oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll get by
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll survive
When the world's crushing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I won't cry

oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll get by
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
I'll survive
When the world's crushing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
oooh Oooooh Oooohhh
And I won't cry

I Just Can't Stop Loving You
Michael Jackson
Composição: Michael Jackson

I just want to lay next to you
For awhile
You look so beautiful tonight
Your eyes are so lovely
Your mouth is so sweet
A lot of people
Misunderstand me
That's because they don't
Know me at all
I just want to touch you
And hold you
I need you
God I need you
I love you so much

[Michael]
Each time the wind blows
I hear your voice so
I call your name . . .
Whispers at morning
Our love is dawning
Heaven's glad you came . . .

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I'm so proud to say
I love you
Your love's got me high
I long to get by
This time is forever
Love is the answer

[Siedah]
I hear your voice now
You are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven's in my heart
At your call
I hear harps,
And angels sing

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I can't live my life
Without you

[Michael]
I just can't hold on

[Siedah]
I feel we belong

[Michael]
My life ain't worth living
If i can't be with you

[Both]
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if i stop . . .
Then tell me just what
Will i do

[Siedah]
'cause i just can't stop
Loving you

[Michael]
At night when the
Stars shine
I pray in you i'll find
A love so true . . .

[Siedah]
When morning awakes me
Will you come and take me
I'll wait for you

[Michael]
You know how i feel
I won't stop until
I hear your voice saying
"i do"

[Siedah]
"I do"
This thing can't go wrong

[Michael]
This feeling's so strong

[Siedah]
Well, my life ain't
Worth living

[Both]
If i can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if i stop . . .
Then tell me, just what
Will I do

[Michael]
I just can't stop loving you

[Siedah]
We can change all the world
Tomorrow

[Michael]
We can sing songs of
Yesterday

[Siedah]
I can say, hey . . .farewell
To sorrow

[Michael]
This is my life and I,

[Both]
Want to see you for always
I just can't stop loving you

[Siedah]
No, baby

[Michael]
Oh!

Dia Nacional do Escritor

2011-07-25T15:39:00.003-03:00

O dia 25 de julho é um dia dedicado a homenagear o escritor brasileiro, aquele que elabora artigos científicos, pautados em verdades comprovadas, ou textos literários, divididos em vários gêneros.

O surgimento da data se deu a partir da década de 60, através de João Peregrino Júnior e Jorge Amado, quando realizaram o I Festival do Escritor Brasileiro, organizado pela União Brasileira de Escritores, a que os dois eram presidente e vice-presidente, respectivamente.

Rolling In The Deep
Adele

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can't help feeling

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat

Biblioteca Indica - Tudo sobre Shakespeare

2011-07-15T13:12:00.001-03:00

One of the difficulties teachers face when they teach Shakespeare is language accessibility. Twenty-first century students simply have difficulty understanding the words, and so they miss the meaning of his plays and sonnets. This is no small loss. Thus, it is a teacher's responsibility to help students not only understand the language but also to empower them, so that when faced with difficult texts they feel as if they can, with a little effort, appreciate what Shakespeare is saying.

Celebration
Madonna
Composição: Madonna, Paul Oakenfold, Ian Green, Ciaran Gribbin

I think you wanna' come over,
Yeah I heard it through the grapevine
Are you drunk or you sober?
Think about it, doesn't matter
And if it makes you feel good then I say do it,
I don't know what you're waiting for

Feel my temperature rising
There's too much heat I'm gonna' lose control
Do you want to go higher, get closer to the fire,
I don't know what you're waiting for

Come join the party, yeah
Coz' everybody just won't do.
Let's get this started, yeah
Coz' everybody wants to party with you.

Boy you got a reputation,
But you're gonna' have to prove it
I see a little hesitation,
Am I gonna' have to show you that
If it feels right, get on your marks
Step to the beat boy that's what it's for

Put your arms around me
When it gets too hot we can go outside
But for now just come here,
Let me whisper in your ear
An invitation to the dance tonight

Come join the party
It's a celebration
Anybody just won't do
Let's get this started
No more hesitation
Coz' everybody wants to party with you

Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
You look familiar?
You wanna' dance? Yeah.
I guess I just don't recognize you with your cloths on?
What are you waiting for?

Come join the party
It's a celebration
Anybody just won't do
Let's get this started
No more hesitation
Coz' everybody wants to party with you

Come join the party
It's a celebration
Anybody just won't do
Let's get this started
No more hesitation
Coz' everybody wants to party with you

Boy you've got it
It's a celebration
Coz' anybody just won't do
Let's get it started
No more hesitation
Coz' everybody wants to party with you

Boy you've got it
Coz' anybody just won't do

Reading: changing habits

2011-07-13T10:36:00.001-03:00

This essay is the first in a three-part series about the past, present, and future of reading. Part two will focus on readers in transition between the page and the screen. Part three will look at the future of reading.

To learn to read, after all, is a descent into silence. I can still conjure the school room where I first began to puzzle out words on a page: our wooden desks, the map of the world rolled up above the chalkboard, green canvas shades partially drawn over high windows, manila cards strung around the room, which illustrated the alphabet in cursive script. We sat at our desks and read our pages aloud, mouthing syllables amongst each other, if not to each other, and to our teacher. Stumbling, smoothing, repeating the words again and again. How quickly we took to it might determine whether we would outdistance our parents - farmers, plumbers, small-business owners, housewives - or follow in their footsteps. Soon, we began whispering the words to ourselves, then mouthing them silently. Finally they sped by faster than we could possibly say. How long that all took I now have no idea, but the silence, I know, was an accomplishment.

I’ve always believed that the silence surrounding my reading was a cleared space for attention in a noisy, busy world, and that my eye running across the page had to be an asset since I’ll never read all the books I’d like to, and there are hundreds of thousands more being published every year. Yet, I remember so little of all my reading and rereading. Even when I try to recall the books that have grabbed me by the throat, I can conjure no more than a few scenes, or the bare outlines of a plot, or a striking line: “When it rains we would like to cry.’’ Where does the absorption in the moment go? Why isn’t there more space for all those hours in the cramped and cluttered place I imagine my memory to be?

It is said that readers in antiquity and the Middle Ages had capacious memories - Augustine referred to his own as a vast sanctuary, and as a great field. But then reading itself was a very different undertaking before the age of print. Literacy wasn’t common - there were more listeners to literature than there were readers of it - and books weren’t easy to acquire. Most libraries contained under 300 volumes - fewer books than I have in my home now - for the work to produce even one was so daunting that candles might be forbidden in the medieval scriptoriums: A fire meant not only the loss of books, but the loss of thousands of hours of labor. Before a scribe even dipped his goose quill into ink, the parchment had to be dried and stretched, then scraped clean and smoothed with a pumice stone. Each sheet had to be lined with a ruler and awl. A good scribe might produce two books a year. The Bible could take 15 months to copy.

Losing My Religion
R.E.M.

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh, no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool (Fool)
Oh, no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this (2x)
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh, no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why, try
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream, dream

Como ensinar a seu filho que ler é um prazer

2011-07-07T10:03:00.001-03:00

Pesquisas do mundo todo mostram que a criança que lê e tem contato com a literatura desde cedo, principalmente se for com o acompanhamento dos pais, é beneficiada em diversos sentidos: ela aprende melhor, pronuncia melhor as palavras e se comunica melhor de forma geral. "Por meio da leitura, a criança desenvolve a criatividade, a imaginação e adquire cultura, conhecimentos e valores", diz Márcia Tim, professora de literatura do Colégio Augusto Laranja, de São Paulo (SP).

A leitura frequente ajuda a criar familiaridade com o mundo da escrita. A proximidade com o mundo da escrita, por sua vez, facilita a alfabetização e ajuda em todas as disciplinas, já que o principal suporte para o aprendizado na escola é o livro didático. Ler também é importante porque ajuda a fixar a grafia correta das palavras.

Quem é acostumado à leitura desde bebezinho se torna muito mais preparado para os estudos, para o trabalho e para a vida. Isso quer dizer que o contato com os livros pode mudar o futuro dos seus filhos. Parece exagero? Nos Estados Unidos, por exemplo, a Fundação Nacional de Leitura Infantil (National Children's Reading Foundation) garante que, para a criança de 0 a 5 anos, cada ano ouvindo historinhas e folheando livros equivale a 50 mil dólares a mais na sua futura renda.

American Honey
Lady Antebellum

She grew up on the side of the road
Where the church bells ring
And strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey

Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get going
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So in a sin, pure and sweet
American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name
Like a long lost friend
Oh, I miss those days
As the years go by
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
And an American honey

Get caught in the race of this crazy life
Tryin' to be everything
Can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name
Like a long lost friend
Oh, I miss those days
As the years go by
Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
And American honey

Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey

There's a wild wild whisper
Blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name
Like a long lost friend
Oh, I miss those days
As the years go by
Nothin' sweeter than summertime
And American honey
And American honey

Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)
Kathy Perry

Kathy:
Fridaaaaay!!

Darren:
Hey Kathy! I just wanna thank you for giving the best party of all time. It was absolutely incredible and I don't care what anyone says about you, you're actually really cool. Best party ever, woo!

There's a stranger in my bed,
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbie's on the barbeque
There's a hickie or a bruise

Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a black top blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn!

Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on tabletops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot

Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard

Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trois

Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Whoa-oh-oah

This Friday night
Do it all again
This Friday night
Do it all again

Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell my boss
Think the city towed my car
Chandelier is on the floor
With my favorite party dress
Warrants out for my arrest
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail

Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn!

Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot

Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credits card
And got kicked out of the bars
So we hit the boulevards

Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping int he dark
Then had a menage a trois

Last Friday Night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Oh whoa oh

This Friday night
Do it all again
Do it all again
This Friday night
Do it all again
Do it all again
This Friday night

T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.

Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot

Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard

Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trois

Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop
Oh-whoa-oh

Hábito da leitura cresce entre crianças e jovenHábito de leitura cresce entre crianças e jovens brasileiros

2011-06-10T14:32:00.000-03:00

A criança e o adolescente brasileiros estão lendo mais. Esse foi o diagnóstico traçado nesta quinta-feira (8) no 2º Encontro Nacional do Varejo do Livro Infantil e Juvenil, realizado dentro do 13ª Salão Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil, no Rio de Janeiro.

De acordo com pesquisa divulgada pela Câmara Brasileira do Livro (CBL), do total de 12 mil títulos novos lançados no país em 2010, cerca de 2,5 mil foram direcionados a crianças e adolescentes.

- A própria produção é uma comprovação de que as nossas crianças e jovens estão lendo mais - afirmou à Agência Brasil a diretora da Fundação Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil (FNLIJ), Ísis Valéria Gomes.

O presidente da Associação Nacional de Livrarias (ANL), Ednilson Xavier, disse que a parte destinada à literatura infantojuvenil já representa cerca de 15% do faturamento das lojas. Levantamento feito em 455 livrarias de todo país mostra que as vendas do setor cresceram 9,6% em 2010 em relação ao ano anterior, refletindo a expansão da economia nacional. Ele ressaltou que a área infantojuvenil lidera o ranking em termos de crescimento de vendas no ano passado.

Para Xavier, a tendência é que o hábito da leitura do público infantojuvenil seja crescente.

- Não tenha dúvida. Há, nesse aspecto, a constatação do mercado editorial de que os livros nessa área, a cada ano, se tornam mais atrativos - disse.

A ANL está elaborando pesquisa sobre o livro no orçamento familiar, que será divulgada em agosto, durante a 21ª Convenção Nacional das Livrarias.

Na opinião de Ísis Valéria Gomes, o hábito da leitura é fundamental não só para ampliar o conhecimento mas, inclusive, para a formação da cidadania.

Segundo ela, a criança e o jovem brasileiros são penalizados em função do analfabetismo funcional, que exclui as pessoas do conhecimento.

Durante o encontro, foi apresentada a experiência da primeira livraria virtual para livros digitais no país, a Gato Sabido, cuja média é de dez mil a 15 mil acessos diários para consultas. A diretora da FLNIJ observou que o governo federal já desonerou impostos sobre os livros eletrônicos (e-book). Avaliou, porém, que para que o livro digital chegue às camadas da população de menor poder aquisitivo são necessárias novas ações, uma vez que esses livros são ainda muito caros, custam cerca de R$ 1,8 mil.

Ela disse, também, que é preciso garantir a qualidade dos textos impressos oferecidos ao público infantojuvenil.

- Isso é alguma coisa que precisa ser vigiada, do ponto de vista de se oferecer coisa boa aos adolescentes e às crianças - disse.

A experiência da Fundação German Sanchez Ruiperez, de Salamanca, na Espanha, foi apresentada durante o encontro nacional de livreiros. A instituição aposta na alfabetização digital para crianças a partir de cinco anos de idade, onde os menores convivem com o aprendizado simultâneo no computador e no livro impresso.

O 13º Salão Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil é promovido pela FNLIJ e vai até o dia 17 deste mês.

Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd

So,
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Digital Textbooks Slow to Catch On

2011-06-09T12:15:00.000-03:00

While autobiographies and murder mysteries, romance novels and self-help books have enjoyed a smooth transition from print to pixels, the college textbook has met resistance in its digital form.

Although sites like CourseSmart , a collective effort among the five biggest American academic publishers to offer digital content, have made e-textbooks widely available at prices that are as much as 60 percent lower than the print editions, sales have yet to catch up; e-textbooks made up only 2.8 percent of total U.S. textbook sales in 2010, according to the National Association of College Stores.

But a new study by the nonprofit arm of the Pearson Foundation shows that while 55 percent of students still prefer print over digital textbooks, among the 7 percent of students who own tablets devices like iPads, 73 percent prefer digital textbooks. With 70 percent of college students interested in owning a tablet, and 15 percent saying they plan to buy one in the next six months, the survey suggests that there may be a coming rise in the e-textbook market.

For the e-textbook market, the Pearson Foundation’s study represents an optimistic departure from data released in January by the Book Industry Study Group, or B.I.S.G., which concluded that 75 percent of students still prefer print textbooks to digital.

“Those B.I.S.G. statistics are really not surprising,” said Matt MacInnis, chief executive of Inkling, a San Francisco startup that has designed an application to help major academic publishers, like McGraw-Hill and Pearson, recreate their higher education textbooks for the iPad. In the process, Inkling has become the front-runner in the tablet-textbook market.

“Up until now, digital textbooks were a flat — no value-added PDF version of the print edition, so you’re basically asking students if they prefer an inferior product,” Mr. MacInnis said. “So it’s no surprise students weren’t interested.”

Inkling seeks to resolve the basic issues that many students have found problematic on PDF versions of textbooks, like the difficulty of highlighting and note-taking. The company’s textbooks also use audio, video and interactive features like quizzes and note-sharing tools to create content that Mr. MacInnis calls “light years better than what you can get in print.”

In the Inkling version of “The Art of Public Speaking” by Stephen E. Lucas, students can listen to the top 100 American speeches, watch corresponding video, and follow along on a printed transcript. Students can zoom in on a photo in a biology textbook, and hit a play button to hear a symphony in a music textbook.

“We’re looking to redefine the medium – we’re rebuilding learning content from the ground up,” Mr. MacInnis said.

Inkling offers fewer than 30 titles, but by this autumn, Mr. MacInnis estimates that 100 titles will be ready for sale. Inkling’s titles are about 20 percent less expensive than a new edition of the print textbook, but they are also available by the chapter for $2.99.

As more companies enter the tablet textbook market, textbook prices will most likely decrease as competition heats up, said Osman Rashid, chief executive of Kno, a Silicon Valley startup that is to introduce a textbook application, also for the iPad, this week.

“We’re just at the beginning of this market’s potential,” he said. The company plans to expand its software soon to tablets powered by Android, the Google operating system.

Mr. Rashid, who was a co-founder of Chegg.com, the popular online textbook rental site, said he was unable to disclose details of the platform until its debut but said Kno has been working with the major academic publishers.

Whether publishers will distribute their top-selling titles to multiple tablet-textbook applications or whether it will be a winner-takes-all market remains to be seen. In the meantime, publishers are looking to enter the existing market.

“There’s really no telling where the market will go, or how this will play out — none of us know the answer, but the tablet is creating some really exciting opportunities,” said Jeff Shelstad, chief executive of Flat World Knowledge, a publisher of college textbooks.

Under an open license model, Flat World’s textbooks can be edited by individual professors to fit a specific course. Flat World allows students to get the book online free, and offers other formats, like print and e-textbook for a fee. Flat World is now looking to redevelop their textbooks for the tablet market as well, and is in talks with Inkling.

“In this industry, print has been the premium experience. In our model, it’s the degraded experience, and this means we’ll have an easier time translating into the tablet market,” Mr. Shelstad said.

Hal Plotkin, the senior policy advisor in the Office of the Under Secretary of Education in the Obama administration, says he thinks that the tablet textbook market is raising some interesting possibilities.

“There’s a long way to go,” he said, “but this is getting a discussion going, and it’s widening the playing field in terms of content providers.”

Mr. Plotkin said he expected to see a complete overhaul in “educational delivery systems” over the next 15 years. “Affordable technologies,” he said, “are coming together with ubiquitously available, high-quality, teaching and learning resources to create a real revolution.”

Talking To The Moon
Bruno Mars

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have

At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Try to get to you
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon

I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say
I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad
But they don't know
What I know

Cause when the
Sun goes down
Someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back

At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Try to get to you
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon

Do you ever hear me calling?
Cause every night
I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you

In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away

What will the library of the future look like?

2011-05-26T12:00:00.000-03:00

Rita Meade, a New York librarian also known as Screwy Decimal, has been finding out what American children think about the library of the future. She was interested and surprised to hear many digitally minded suggestions such as:

“The future library will be located in a spaceship. The spaceship will have blue tables and purple chairs.”

“Libraries will have flying desks and iPads for each person.”

“The future library will be open twenty four hours.”

“The library will have ninety thousand computers.”

“If you have a book that is out of date, it will warp back to the library.”

“As much as I love the library, I’m 100% sure future libraries would be even more awesome. Just think how amazing the library will be in the future, with robots and electronics.”

You can read more about the project on her blog. She says, “This topic is particularly relevant these days, with ebook controversy and the talk of libraries becoming ‘obsolete’ and having our budgets slashed to oblivion despite the fact that our usage is steadily increasing”. In contrast to the often bandied about view that librarians are old fashioned, she says most librarians she knows embrace change and look to improve library services through technology advancement and listening to readers’ feedback. One of the most poignant quotes she received from a young girl was, “What does the future of the library look like? It depends on you.”

This rings very true. As part of the London Word Festival, I’m co-curating a night of future book-borrowing called No Furniture So Charming, where 9 different speakers are being asked to give us their thoughts on where they think the library is going and what it stands for. They will talk to us about books being more than words, in fact books becoming social objects; about the the public image of the library, the architecture, the 21st Century use of the space; about the portability of libraries through digital, mobile or even suitcase; and perhaps about the simple frustration of simply having nothing to read.

The festival has taken libraries as a core theme this year, with Co-Founder Marie McPartlin stating, “It’s important to us to explore the public library in a way that celebrated its significance and looked to the future. Our focus as a festival has always been an artistic one – commissioning and supporting artists to create and present new and challenging work. We aim to curate a strand of artistic work that gives both artist and audience space to consider and create, but in very different ways.”

Other library themed events include The Goodbye Library with singer Emmy The Great and poet Jack Underwood creating a personal celebration of the space; and running every single day of the festival in reading rooms across London, Ant Hampton & Tim Etchells’ The Quiet Volume is a whispered, self-generated performance for two, exploring the tension of concentration and silence in reading.

Prompted by the No Furniture So Charming event, Jamillah Knowles has written an extensive blog post about “the Dewey Decimal Digital Destination’ where she discusses real vs digital libraries. She sings the praises of librarians as a knowledge base and in-house research tool, stating that humans still can’t be beaten by robots, “Human beings are still better at pattern recognition” but points out that the gap between printed word and digital is still broad, “Inside a library, carrying an e-reader, I often wish that I could bridge the gap between the digital and the physical. A physical book is nice to read but what if I could search that book using a gadget?” An interesting thought.

There are many experiments and new ways of thinking which should enable us to bring the library to the next generation and make it more useful and relevant. But as that young New Yorker pointed out, it is really up to us.

Biblioteca Indica: The Dictionary of American Regional English

2011-05-24T11:24:00.001-03:00

Like other dictionaries, the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE) is arranged alphabetically by headword, from A to Z. What is different about DARE is that it shows where people use the words that are included. We all know, for example, that Americans have many names for the kind of sandwich that includes meats, cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, etc., served in a long bun. What DARE can tell you (and can often illustrate through the use of maps based on fieldwork) is where the words hero, hoagie, grinder, sub, torpedo, Cuban, etc. are the local terms for this sandwich.

Escolas abandonam giz e investem em lousas digitais

2011-05-23T10:02:00.003-03:00

A geometria ganha fãs quando é possível ver polígonos em duas ou três dimensões durante a aula. Fica mais fácil entender geografia quando basta um clique para perceber a distância entre o Brasil e o Japão. Longe do giz e do apagador, professores têm utilizado a tecnologia como aliada para garantir a atenção dos alunos dentro da sala de aula.

Escolas particulares e da rede pública de todo o país têm investido na compra de lousas digitais com tela touch screen que custam, em média, R$ 8 mil cada.

O G1 visitou o Colégio Dante Alighieri, em São Paulo, e a escola municipal Vila Thomazina, em Campo Limpo Paulista, no interior, para conferir a interação da lousa, professores e alunos. (veja vídeo ao lado)

No Dante Alighieri há lousas digitais nas 115 salas. Os alunos da educação infantil até o primeiro ano do ensino médio têm acesso ao equipamento. O corpo docente recebeu treinamento para manusear as lousas que são utilizadas de acordo com o projeto pedagógico da série.

Na sala do 5º ano do ensino fundamental, sob o comando da professora Eloa Azzena Parada, a aula virou diversão. “Ficou bem mais fácil aprender. Adoro ver os mapas, dá para ver o mundo todo. Toda aula a gente pede um vídeo para ficar mais divertido”, afirma Miguel Bodgan Leão Biuno, de 9 anos.

A lousa interativa tornou-se uma grande parceira de Eloa que procura rechear as aulas com vídeos sobre atualidades e telejornais. “As crianças são muito visuais e a lousa permite interação. Elas são completamente estimuladas pela imagem. Quando mostro uma atividade na lousa, após explicar uma matéria, eles dizem ‘agora eu entendi'", conta a professora.

A lousa pode projetar imagens, textos, reproduzir arquivos em power point, vídeos, jogos interativos e, ainda, ligada a netbooks que são utilizados pelas crianças. Cabe ao professor criar os conteúdos.

“É possível trabalhar todas as disciplinas. Depende da criatividade do professor, mas a lousa tem de estar estruturada em uma sequência didática”, afirma Eloa.

Rede municipal
Em Campo Limpo Paulista, a lousa foi implantada em todas as escolas do ciclo fundamental 2 (do 5º ao 9º ano) do município. No total são seis. Elas estão em 43 salas de aulas e são utilizadas por cerca de 2.800 alunos.

Na escola municipal Vila Thomazina, no centro da cidade, depois da chegada dos equipamentos, até os índices de evasão caíram. “Há muita participação, os alunos não faltam. Quando queima uma lâmpada (de uma peça da lousa) eles vão correndo avisar na diretoria”, diz Denise Jampaulo, diretora da escola.

A professora de informática Suzi Bertini Aparecida diz que se não fosse a lousa, ela não conseguiria ensinar. "É muito útil e eu sinto que eles já estão habituados. Não teria como dar aulas de informática sem a lousa digital. É mais fácil trabalhar a parte lúdica e a possibilidade que ela oferece é grande, principalmente quando há a interação. Além do mais, acabou a alergia e o pó na mão por causa do giz", brinca Suzi.

Matheus Sales de Tomin, de 13 anos, alunos do 7º ano, aprova o equipamento. "Fazer as atividades na lousa é bem melhor, dá para aprender mais e fica divertido. Utilizamos ela em quase todas as matérias."

A intenção da Prefeitura de Campo Limpo Paulista é instalar as lousas em todas as salas do primeiro ciclo do ensino fundamental, do 1º ao 4º ano, ainda neste primeiro semestre do ano. Para isso, a Prefeitura vai precisar adquirir pelo menos mais 100 unidades do equipamento.

Esperamos que todas as escolas possam, um dia, se beneficiar dessa tecnologia.

Google desiste do projeto de digitalização dos arquivos de jornais

2011-05-20T15:52:00.001-03:00

A Google encerrou um dos seus projetos mais ambiciosos: digitalizar e disponibilizar na internet os arquivos de jornais de todo o mundo. Lançado em 2008 em parceria com diversas publicações na América do Norte e com as empresas de digitalização de arquivos ProQuest e Heritage, o Google News Archive já pôs na rede os arquivos de milhares de edições de 2 mil jornais.

Rumores já davam conta da descontinuidade do projeto. Mas um porta-voz da Google confirmou a informação ao site especializado "Search Engine Land" nesta sexta-feira.

"Nós trabalhamos em parceria com jornais em várias iniciativas e, como parte do programa de digitalização do Google News Archives, nós ajudamos a tornar edições antigas acessíveis e pesquisáveis on-line. Entre esses jornais estão o "London Advertiser", de 1895, o "L'Ami du Lecteur" da virada do século e o "Milwaukee Sentinel", de 1910 a 1995.

"Os internautas podem continuar pesquisando os jornais que já estão disponíveis, mas nós não planejamos acrescentar novas ferramentas e e funcionalidades ao Google News Archives nem aceitar novos microfilmes ou arquivos digitais para processamento", disse o comunicado enviado ao site.

Na quinta-feira, a Google teria enviado e-mail às publicações parceiras comunicando o encerramento do projeto. De acordo com o Boston Phoenix - uma dessas publicações - a empresa de internet alegou que poderia assim concentrar seus esforços "em novos projetos que ajudem a indústria, como o Google One Pass, plataforma que permite às editoras vender conteúdo e assinaturas diretamente dos seus próprios sites".

Segundo o "Huffington Post" , a decisão - juntamente com o recente encerramento do Google Videos, site de vídeos lançado pela empresa antes da compra do YouTube - parece ser um sinal do realinhamento promovido pelo novo diretor-executivo, o cofundador Larry Page.

Hey Jude
Paul McCartney
Composição : John Lennon e Paul McCartney

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid,
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain,
Hey, Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Da da da da da da da da da.

Hey, Jude, don't let me down,
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you,hey Jude you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Da da da da da da da da da.

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better...

OpenLibrary

724 mil livros em domínio público para download (inclusive raros e esgotados).

E-books: 10 mudanças que chegaram com eles

2011-05-16T10:00:00.001-03:00

As publicações digitais estão mudando a forma como as pessoas consomem livros. Abaixo estão 10 exemplos, da moda antiga em comparação com a nova.

Aqui estão 10 exemplos, da moda antiga em comparação com a nova:

1) À moda antiga: clubes do livro.

1) Digital: blogs de livros.

Os leitores extraem passagens favoritas (ou odiadas) dos livros e comentam em blogs dedicados, auxiliados pelo Google, que indexa e classifica as páginas e passagens individuais de livros, com base nas conversas online. Leia uma passagem desconcertante ou inspiradora e então navegue instantaneamente à procura de comentários de outros leitores –na prática, um clube do livro global. Isso transforma a opção de ler um livro eletrônico de uma atividade individual para uma atividade de grupo.

Alguns exemplos: bookblog.net, book-blog.com, e Kirkus Review’s, kirkusreviews.com/meet-the-bloggers, uma agregação de blogs de livros.

2) À moda antiga: Bibliotecas, livrarias e livrarias móveis.

2) Digital: Para pessoas que possuem computadores pessoais, leitores de livros eletrônicos, telefones inteligentes, iPads e outros tablets, há acesso 24 horas, sete dias por semana, a bibliotecas e livrarias para compra, empréstimo e download de material.

Mas as pessoas que não têm esses aparelhos estão ficando para trás. Escolas com verbas insuficientes, por exemplo, mal têm dinheiro para livros impressos, muito menos livros eletrônicos, leitores de livros eletrônicos ou notebooks.

“Eu odeio ver nossa cultura cada vez mais dividida deixando o pobre cada vez mais para trás, ao disponibilizar os textos em grande parte em formatos aos quais eles não têm acesso e não são práticos”, disse o professor de literatura da Escola de Artes de Denver, Gregg Painter.

3) À moda antiga: Escrever anotações nas margens.

3) Digital: Aplicativo de anotações virtuais Public Notes do Kindle.

Quer ver como funciona? Vá até kindle.amazon.com, clique em “Most Popular” (Mais popular), depois em “Books with the most public notes” (Livros com mais anotações públicas), depois em um título para exibição da lista de autores de anotações e, clicando o símbolo “+” ao lado de cada nome, para ver as anotações individuais.

As anotações não são necessariamente enriquecedoras –“Nota: veja ostergarden na Wikipedia”, escreve Joe Gianoli em “Os Homens que Não Amavam as Mulheres”. (É uma fazenda na Suécia.)

Mas podem vir a ser. Imagine olhar as anotações deixadas por outros estudantes em livros escolares eletrônicos. Ou ver os comentários de Jon Stewart nas margens do livro mais recente de Sarah Palin.

4) À moda antiga: Escrever para um escritor favorito, esperar por uma resposta pelo correio.

4) Digital: Visitar a página no Facebook de um escritor favorito, enviar uma mensagem ou requisitar amizade; ou seguir o escritor no Twitter. A escritora de Fort Collins, Colorado, Lauren Myracle, cujo livro mais recente, “Shine”, tem sua própria página no Facebook, mantém pelo menos três páginas no Facebook que são seguidas avidamente por fãs que trocam pontos de vista com ela.

“Na noite passada eu li ‘The Corsage’ e você estava certa! É muito assustador! Eu demorei duas horas para conseguir dormir na noite passada”, escreveu a fã Emma Dougherty.

A escritora Charlotte Hinger calcula que passa quase tanto tempo promovendo seus livros no Facebook e outras redes sociais quanto pesquisando e escrevendo “Lethal Lineage” e seus outros livros. Sua página no Facebook cita Agatha Christie e seu mural informa os fãs sobre sessões de autógrafos, críticas, conferências e o progresso de seu novo romance, “Hidden Heritage”.

5) À moda antiga: Ter seu livro autografado pelo autor em uma livraria.

5) Digital: O Autography, que será lançado no mês que vem, é um programa que permite aos escritores autografar um livro eletrônico usando um iPad. O escritor carrega seu livro, insere uma página em branco entre a página título e o primeiro capítulo e então escreve na página em branco. O processo leva menos de três minutos e os autores podem enviar os autógrafos por e-mail.

6) À moda antiga: Deseja publicar um livro? Você precisará de uma proposta, um agente, editor, editora e um departamento de marketing.

6) Digital: Deseja publicar um livro? Há um aplicativo para isso e os escritores podem ser bem-sucedidos. Amanda Hocking, JA Konrath e Karen McQuestion são todos escritores famosos por promoverem agressivamente seus livros por conta própria. Mas publicar de modo independente nem sempre é bom.

“Há muitos livros independentes ruins”, diz a agente Jodi Rein, do Colorado.

“Mas há muitos bons escritores que estão optando por esse caminho. Pode ser ótimo para os escritores, porque podem ficar com grande parte dos lucros. Quem será o porteiro? Antes você entrava em uma livraria ciente de que os livros tinham passado pela peneira de editores e editoras. Se qualquer um pode ser publicado, os livros ainda terão valor?”

7) À moda antiga: Doar livros usados para a caridade, vendê-los em sebos.

7) Digital: “Livros usados” não existem. Os livros comprados permanecem por tempo indefinido nos leitores de livros eletrônicos. Os livros da Amazon Kindle contam com backup automático nos servidores da Amazon, de modo que se o leitor perder seu Kindle ou desejar uma atualização, os livros do velho Kindle são transferidos para o novo. O aplicativo do Kindle fará o mesmo por um iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone, além de Macs e PCs.

8 ) À moda antiga: Trocar livros com amigos.

8 ) Digital: Até recentemente, as opções se limitavam em grande parte a emprestar o leitor de livro eletrônico (e os livros nele) para amigos, ou recorrer a arquivos piratas. O Lendle da Amazon permite aos usuários compartilhar alguns (não todos) títulos do Kindle por 14 dias, da mesma forma como as bibliotecas realizam empréstimos de livros eletrônicos.

A pessoa que pega o livro emprestado não precisa de um Kindle, apenas um aplicativo de leitura do Kindle para PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Blackberry ou Android.

9) À moda antiga: Encontrou uma palavra desconhecida em um livro? Pegue um dicionário e veja o significado.

9) Digital: Use seu leitor para destacar uma palavra e clicar nela, e a definição será exibida no pé da página. Esta função está disponível nos leitores mais novos, incluindo o Kindle mais recente, que inclui o New Oxford American Dictionary.

10) À moda antiga: Colecionar livros raros, incluindo primeiras edições e livros de antiquários.

10) Digital: Ainda não há um equivalente. O dono da Hermitage, Bob Topp, diz que vê um bocado de novos clientes, que se tornaram fãs de um escritor após a leitura de vários livros digitais.

“É um grupo totalmente novo de pessoas descobrindo um novo mundo de livros mais velhos, uma dimensão sobre a qual desconheciam”, ele diz.

“Elas entram em nossa loja e o olhar em seus olhos é ‘Livro! Eu preciso tocar um livro!’ Elas leram um livro eletrônico no avião, mas agora querem um livro que possam segurar em suas mãos.”

Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A.

I hopped off the plane at LAX
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess (whoa),
Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab,
Here I am for the first time
Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay Z song was on
And a Jay Z song was on
And a Jay Z song was on

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, It's a party in the USA
Yeah, It's a party in the USA

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like "who's that chick that's rockin' kicks?
She gotta be from out of town"

So hard with my girls not around me
Its definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin' my head like yeah
Movin my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin my song
They know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the USA
Yeah, It's a party in the USA

Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the USA
Yeah, It's a party in the USA

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the USA
Yeah, It's a party in the USA
