THE WHITE HOUSE  The President just addressed the nation on the 2016 election results and the next steps we can take to come together as a country and ensure a peaceful transition of power. "We have to remember that we're actually all on one team…We’re not Democrats first, we're not Republicans first, we are Americans first. We're patriots first. We all want what’s best for this country." This is something every American should watch -- no matter his or her politics. Watch now. You can also read his full remarks: THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. Yesterday, before votes were tallied, I shot a video that some of you may have seen in which I said to the American people: Regardless of which side you were on in the election, regardless of whether your candidate won or lost, the sun would come up in the morning. And that is one bit of prognosticating that actually came true. The sun is up. And I know everybody had a long night. I did, as well. I had a chance to talk to President-elect Trump last night -- about 3:30 in the morning, I think it was -- to congratulate him on winning the election. And I had a chance to invite him to come to the White House tomorrow to talk about making sure that there is a successful transition between our presidencies. Now, it is no secret that the President-elect and I have some pretty significant differences. But remember, eight years ago, President Bush and I had some pretty significant differences. But President Bush’s team could not have been more professional or more gracious in making sure we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running. And one thing you realize quickly in this job is that the presidency, and the vice presidency, is bigger than any of us. So I have instructed my team to follow the example that President Bush’s team set eight years ago, and work as hard as we can to make sure that this is a successful transition for the President-elect -- because we are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country. The peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy. And over the next few months, we are going to show that to the world. I also had a chance last night to speak with Secretary Clinton, and I just had a chance to hear her remarks. I could not be prouder of her. She has lived an extraordinary life of public service. She was a great First Lady. She was an outstanding senator for the state of New York. And she could not have been a better Secretary of State. I'm proud of her. A lot of Americans look up to her. Her candidacy and nomination was historic and sends a message to our daughters all across the country that they can achieve at the highest levels of politics. And I am absolutely confident that she and President Clinton will continue to do great work for people here in the United States and all around the world. Now, everybody is sad when their side loses an election. But the day after, we have to remember that we’re actually all on one team. This is an intramural scrimmage. We’re not Democrats first. We're not Republicans first. We are Americans first. We’re patriots first. We all want what’s best for this country. That’s what I heard in Mr. Trump’s remarks last night. That's what I heard when I spoke to him directly. And I was heartened by that. That's what the country needs -- a sense of unity; a sense of inclusion; a respect for our institutions, our way of life, rule of law; and a respect for each other. I hope that he maintains that spirit throughout this transition, and I certainly hope that’s how his presidency has a chance to begin. I also told my team today to keep their heads up, because the remarkable work that they have done day in, day out -- often without a lot of fanfare, often without a lot of attention -- work in agencies, work in obscure areas of policy that make government run better and make it more responsive, and make it more efficient, and make it more service-friendly so that it's actually helping more people -- that remarkable work has left the next President with a stronger, better country than the one that existed eight years ago. So win or lose in this election, that was always our mission. That was our mission from day one. And everyone on my team should be extraordinarily proud of everything that they have done, and so should all the Americans that I’ve had a chance to meet all across this country who do the hard work of building on that progress every single day. Teachers in schools, doctors in the ER clinic, small businesses putting their all into starting something up, making sure they're treating their employees well. All the important work that's done by moms and dads and families and congregations in every state. The work of perfecting this union. So this was a long and hard-fought campaign. A lot of our fellow Americans are exultant today. A lot of Americans are less so. But that's the nature of campaigns. That's the nature of democracy. It is hard, and sometimes contentious and noisy, and it's not always inspiring. But to the young people who got into politics for the first time, and may be disappointed by the results, I just want you to know, you have to stay encouraged. Don’t get cynical. Don’t ever think you can’t make a difference. As Secretary Clinton said this morning, fighting for what is right is worth it. Sometimes you lose an argument. Sometimes you lose an election. The path that this country has taken has never been a straight line. We zig and zag, and sometimes we move in ways that some people think is forward and others think is moving back. And that's okay. I’ve lost elections before. Joe hasn't. (Laughter.) But you know. (The Vice President blesses himself.) (Laughter.) So I've been sort of -- THE VICE PRESIDENT: Remember, you beat me badly. (Laughter.) THE PRESIDENT: That’s the way politics works sometimes. We try really hard to persuade people that we’re right. And then people vote. And then if we lose, we learn from our mistakes, we do some reflection, we lick our wounds, we brush ourselves off, we get back in the arena. We go at it. We try even harder the next time. The point, though, is, is that we all go forward, with a presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens -- because that presumption of good faith is essential to a vibrant and functioning democracy. That's how this country has moved forward for 240 years. It’s how we’ve pushed boundaries and promoted freedom around the world. That's how we've expanded the rights of our founding to reach all of our citizens. It’s how we have come this far. And that's why I'm confident that this incredible journey that we're on as Americans will go on. And I am looking forward to doing everything that I can to make sure that the next President is successful in that. I have said before, I think of this job as being a relay runner -- you take the baton, you run your best race, and hopefully, by the time you hand it off you're a little further ahead, you've made a little progress. And I can say that we've done that, and I want to make sure that handoff is well-executed, because ultimately we're all on the same team. All right? Thank you very much, everybody. (Applause.) The Brazil Brown Bag Seminar Series invites you to its discussion titled, “Conceptualizing Violence and Gender in the Brazilian Context: New Issues and Old Dilemmas” with Maria Filomena Gregori, Tenured Professor at the Department of Anthropology, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Conceptualizations of violence against women developed in Brazilian feminism, and legal and institutional measures against violence, are examined from the 1980s to the present. Based on ethnographic studies carried out at the Women’s Police Stations and Special Criminal Courts, and the controversies surrounding the 2006 Brazilian Law on domestic and familial violence, the authors map the meanings of expressions such as ‘violence against women,’ ‘marital violence,’ ‘domestic violence,’ ‘family violence,’ and ‘gender violence.’ The discourse that transforms violence into crime, in the Brazilian context, leads to semantic and institutional developments that replace an interest in politicizing justice for the defense of women with the judicialization of family relations. Maria Filomena Gregori is an anthropology professor at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil. She is also a researcher at the Pagu Center for Gender Studies at UNICAMP. Over the course of her career, she has held various positions including: researcher at the Brazilian Center for Planning and Analysis (CEBRAP, 1986-1999); director of the Brazilian Anthropological Association (ABA, 2007-2009); and the Executive Secretary at the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Social Sciences (ANPOCS, 2010-2014). Ms. Gregori is the author of several books and articles, including: Prazeres Perigosos. Erotismo, Gênero e Limites da Sexualidade (Companhia das Letras, 2016); Viração. A Experiência de Meninos nas Ruas (Companhia das Letras, 2000); Cenas e Queixas (Paz e Terra/Anpocs, 1993). + GOOGLE CALENDAR+ ICAL EXPORT Details Date: November 9 Time: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Event Categories: Brazil Center, ILAS, LCBS Event Tags: Brazil, Brazil Brown Bag Seminar Series, Culture, Gender and  November 9 @ 6:10 pm - 8:00 pm Event Navigation « The Impact of the U.S. Elections on U.S.-Cuban Relations African & Latin American Migration and Border Crossing in Cinema: Two Film Screenings » Speaker: Otaviano Canuto, Executive Director to Brazil, World Bank.

Donald John Trump is an American businessman and the President-elect of the United States. He is scheduled to take office as the 45th President on January 20, 2017 Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman and the President-elect of the United States. He is scheduled to take office as the 45th President on January 20, 2017. As the Republican Party's nominee for president in the 2016 election, he defeated Hillary Clinton in the general election on November 8, 2016. Trump is currently the chairman and president of The Trump Organization, the principal holding company for his real estate ventures and other business interests – a position he has said he will vacate prior to his assumption of the presidency. During his career, Trump has built office towers, hotels, casinos, golf courses, and other branded facilities worldwide. Trump was born and raised in New York City and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971 he was given control of his father Fred Trump's real estate and construction firm and later renamed it The Trump Organization, rising to public prominence shortly thereafter. Trump has appeared at the Miss USA pageants, which he owned from 1996 to 2015, and has made cameo appearances in films and television series. He sought the Reform Party presidential nomination in 2000, but withdrew before voting began. He hosted and co-produced The Apprentice, a reality television series on NBC, from 2004 to 2015. As of 2016, he was listed by Forbes as the 324th wealthiest person in the world, and 156th in the United States. In June 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for president as a Republican and quickly emerged as the front-runner for his party's nomination. In May 2016, his remaining Republican rivals suspended their campaigns, and in July he was formally nominated for president at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Trump's campaign has received unprecedented media coverage and international attention. Many of his statements in interviews, on Twitter, and at campaign rallies have been controversial or false. Several rallies during the primaries were accompanied by protests or riots. On October 7, a 2005 audio recording surfaced in which Trump bragged about forcibly kissing and groping women; multiple women accused him of forcibly doing so shortly thereafter.[3][4] He apologized for the 2005 comments and denied the allegations, describing them as part of a wider smear campaign. Trump's platform included renegotiation of U.S.–China trade deals, opposition to particular trade agreements such as NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, stronger enforcement of immigration laws together with building a wall along the U.S.–Mexico border, reform of veterans' care, repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, and tax cuts. Following the November 2015 Paris attacks, Trump called for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration to the United States, later stating that the ban would focus instead on countries with a proven history of terrorism, until the screening for potential terrorists is improved. At 70, he will be the oldest person to ever become a first-term president, surpassing Ronald Reagan, who was 69 when he won the election in 1980.

Artist Spotlight SANKHYA JEJURIKAR Sankhya has worked as a Systems Analyst and as an IT faculty for a number of years. The creative instinct has always been the driving force in all her endeavors and she finally succumbed to the siren call of the creative arts by joining Singapore’s Lasalle College of Fine Arts in 2007 and graduated in 2010 with a Degree in Fine Arts. She has lived in various countries and different continents (e.g. US, India, Africa, Singapore and visited places like Alaska, Kenya, Tanzania, Canada, Australia ... etc.) and has maintained her thirst of acquiring skills in different aspects of Fine Arts by interacting with each new art community, like spending a year as an Apprentice of the artist Mr. Lim Hua Choon- Of “Studio-In-Connection”, Singapore, exploring Pottery and Sculpture, etc. Having lived a very nomadic life till now, Sankhya's art assimilation has developed into a practice of functioning in association with each new art community, a process of interpretation and analysis as an outsider looking in. The incorporation of craft in her Installations is because she does not see craft as being tied to a particular medium when applied to her work, but rather as a way of working with hands. The element of the handmade is important because the time she spends constructing the work is a meditative act that helps in gaining a deeper understanding of what she is doing with the hope that the beauty of imperfections inherent in handmade work, add to the complexity and the richness of the whole. She installed her first major public large-scale 50 feet tall installation on the Lasalle College Premises by suspending the work over the bridge itself, made using over 5000 re-cycled plastic bags.  The President of Lasalle College, Singapore, Prof. Alastair Pearce, bought her installation work, made of re-cycled 'Art Friend' bags, for his own private art collection. She has exhibited her commissioned art work, on the community walls of Singapore Arts Center, Esplanade. She has been featured as the artist of the month for January 2010 by SCYA (Singapore's Contemporary Artist) and she is involved in other group exhibitions as well, like "Access" a collaborative installation with MARUAH and Tickle-Art as well an Invitation to Participate in TRANSMISSION: KALEIDOSCOPE a fine arts exhibition in Singapore. SUSAN MARX “My paintings are conversations between my eyes, my head, my heart, my gut, and the canvas in front of me. This is true whether I am painting abstract work from the inside of my head or out of doors.  I paint as result of my radical amazement at the beauty of visual world and my need to turn that experience into paint. Nature is my frame of reference. I paint what nature leaves with me.  I am concerned with light and what light does to color, which is why I call myself an Abstract Impressionist. I like to entice and engage my viewers, drawing them into a fresh and beautiful world that I have created. My work is intuitive. I let the process guide me and inform me what the work is about.  It is an emotional conversation of paint-filled brushstrokes and the painting that is being composed on the canvas. I load up my palette, pick up a brush, holding it as a conductor would hold his baton and begin. I don’t speak to the canvas, instead the canvas speaks to me. It is a constant back and forth conversation of paint and canvas, painted quickly using emotional sensations rather than an intellectually thought out process. I paint but lose the concept of time. I am painting from a deeper place, within. Fast, faster, passionately painting, furiously painting. I cannot get the colors down fast enough, often painting wet on wet. I am painting from a deeper place. Then suddenly I need air. I stop and step back to look at my canvas one last time.  The painting is done. I paint in acrylics which allows me to record my color impressions quickly. I paint with thick bold, rich color and gestural brush strokes. Leaving blank canvas is intentional. I feel it makes the color more vibrant and blank canvas create a tension between positive and negative space. It lets the painting breathe. Often the act of painting forms a shape on the canvas within the picture plane: something I find visually exciting. I enjoy the process of putting color next to color and that process is the subject matter of the painting. I title my paintings after I am finished painting.I feel they are lyrical. I try to capture the essence in my painting, the color and the emotion, and leave the rest to the viewer’s imagination, to bring him into the painting. Someone once said I work to the muse of Monet, Van Gogh and Joan Mitchell; I was thrilled. They helped guide me in the journey to become the artist I am today.” Teremos um novo Presidente a partir do ano que vem. O que muda para quem já tem ou pretende fazer negócios, morar e trabalhar nos Estados Unidos? Nos Estados Unidos, a Constituição de 1787 veda a edição de leis retroativas de uma maneira geral (art. 1º, seção 9, 1: " ex post facto law") e proíbe aos Estados que elaborem leis que prejudiquem a obrigatoriedade dos contratos (art. 1º, seção 10, 1: "law impairing the obligation of contracts"). Ou seja, é muito improvável que alguma decisão do futuro Presidente a partir de 2017 venha a afetar ou prejudicar retroativamente o Direito adquirido do investidor e empresário Brasileiro que já se estabeleceu aqui nos Estados Unidos. Portanto, nosso aconselhamento agora é que todas as decisões importantes sejam tomadas ainda este ano para gozar da proteção jurídica de anti-retroatividade: Planejamento Imigratório para petições de vistos de trabalho e Green-Card, tais como O-1, P-1, E-2, H-1B, L-1 ou EB-5; Formação e registro de Pessoa Jurídica Americana ou Offshore, tais como LLC, Corp e BVI; Planejamento tributário e sucessório mediante Trust ou estrutura equivalente de fideicomisso; Aquisição ou refinanciamento de imóveis com obtenção de hipoteca junto aos Bancos Americanos. Estamos à disposição para esclarecer em detalhes todas as suas opções sob o ponto de vista jurídico e contábil em vista do novo governo nos Estados Unidos.
