O Fogo do mundo destrói, o fogo do Espírito Santo purifica e constrói uma nova história !

“Celebrating!”

“Celebrating!” is the first solo exhibition by Brazilian artist Andréia Rosa, with the support ofBanco do Brasil in New York. The show will take place at Banco do Brasil's 42nd St branch Art Gallery. At the opening night, the public will have the opportunity to meet the artist and see a diverse selection of her watercolor paintings.

"Through striking shapes and contrasting colors, artist's Andréia Rosa work consists of a stylized and organic artistic expression that translates the beauty and power of her eclectic working universe marked both by something pointillism, as well as figurative and abstract."
Alcinda Saphira, Curator

Earlier today, I signed an Executive Order to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 for federal contract workers.

It's the right thing to do. But what's more, companies have found that when their employees earn more, they're more motivated, they work harder, and they stick around longer. You should expect the same of your federal government.

The bottom line is this: We are a nation that believes in rewarding honest work with honest wages. And America deserves a raise.

If you agree, let me know you're standing with me -- and take a look at what else we're going to do in 2014.

The order I signed today will help folks across the country. But it's not enough.

Right now, there's a bill in Congress that would raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour for all Americans. It would lift wages for more than 28 million current workers, and would move millions of Americans out of poverty. That means businesses would have customers with more money to spend.

Raising the minimum wage would grow the economy for everyone.

You don't need to believe me: Believe the 600 economists -- including seven Nobel Prize winners -- who wrote both houses of Congress last month to remind them that the bill before them will have little or no negative effect on jobs.

When I stood before both chambers of Congress and said that I intended for 2014 to be a year of action, that wasn't just a nice line in a speech. It was an acknowledgment that we've got to restore opportunity for everyone in America -- the idea that no matter who you are, or how you started out, you can get ahead here if you're responsible and willing to work for it. That's what this "year of action" is all about.

And since that speech, I have taken actions on my own to make it easier for folks to save for retirement, help working Americans get the skills that good jobs demand, and assist millions of Americans who have been looking for work for several months. I've announced a major new commitment toward connecting our schools to 21st-century technology.

That action continues today, and in the months to come.

Take a look at what we've done already and what's to come.

Photos: Inside the State Dinner

Tonight, President Obama and the First Lady are hosting French President Hollande for a state dinner -- concluding the first state visit by a French president in nearly 20 years.

And ahead of this formal dinner, people across the White House are busy with preparation.

Yesterday, White House Chef Cris Comerford and Pastry Chef Bill Yosses took over the White House Instagram to give you a look behind the scenes -- and inside the kitchen.

See the full gallery of images from inside the kitchen.

As a mom, I know life gets busy. Most folks already have way too much on their plates -- they shouldn't have to worry about health care coverage, too.

We all deserve the security that comes from having health coverage that's there for us -- that we can count on when we need it most.

If you still don't have health insurance, you can go to HealthCare.gov, compare your options, and pick a plan that fits your needs and your budget.

And if you're already covered, make sure the people you love are covered, too.

Millions of moms, dads, and Americans across the country have already picked out affordable plans that work for them. They've done this because they know that life throws you plenty of curveballs. That's what getting covered is all about: being ready for whatever comes your way.

This isn't about politics -- it's about peace of mind for you and for your family.

So if you still need health insurance, go to HealthCare.gov and select a plan.

And if you're already covered, I need your help: Forward this message to a friend or loved one who needs to see it and make sure they've signed up for health insurance, too.

Our health -- and the health of our families -- depends on it.

Thanks,

First Lady Michelle Obama Se você não conseguir visualizar esta mensagem, acesse este link
