BELÉM - Terminou por volta das 16h55 desta terça-feira a sessão do julgamento do fazendeiro Vitalmiro Bastos de Moura, conhecido como "Bida".

O caso ganhou repercussão mundial e o julgamento foi acompanhado pela imprensa nacional e internacional, além de organizações ligadas à terra e direitos humanos.
Um forte esquema de segurança foi montado para o julgamento. Vinte e cinco homens, entre militares e guardas judiciários estão dispostos dentro e fora do prédio.

Maybe I am learning how to be personal without giving it all away, maybe not; maybe you can call it 'Blogging with Grace'.

I cannot do large integrations in my mind anymore, maybe I never could. Now, small partial truths absorb my interest. Tau, the divine proportion, which H.S.M. Coxeter called 'a fascinating tendency' is more with me than 1+1=2. So it goes. Grandmothers paint the world with the one-sided brush of optimism and possibility and dignity and all the rest - meanwhile the world is so horrid that most of its people are so miserable they cannot smile, anyone knows that; but grandmothers (and grandfathers too) carry on unreal, a fascinating tendency indeed.
The strains of the Nutcracker Suite coming from next door, and tonight a little girl with golden lace tripping along the sidewalk with her mother after ballet class. And the words of a minor poet, ee cummings, "staggered, banged by a billion trillion stars" enter my mind like spring rain.
OK, could be a stupid son of the bourgeois middle class, knowing nothin' 'bout nothin', good for nothin', trying to stay drunk enough to be happy and managing it several times a week in a plastic chair at a plastic table at the Nova Esperança.
Encantada; directly - 'enchanted'. And there is that northern sibilant 'ch', and in the Português, hard consonants, no snakes ... There you are. There was another example but I forgot.
When i came in tonight there were two young girls eating, scarfing it up like they were really hungry, one with a baby, both of them looking more like 'favela' than 'asfalto'. I think it was the barman giving away a bit, can't be sure, maybe I will live long enough to find out. So I smiled at them; a complicated smile - encantada mesmo!
Obrigado Senhor pelo isso dia tão bonito. Estejam bons irmãs, irmões, amigos.
