Ingredientes para o bolo

3 1/4 xícaras farinha de trigo peneirada
2 colheres de chá de fermento em pó
3/4 colher de chá de sal
1 xícaras de açúcar
1 xícara de açúcar mascavo
1 xícara de manteiga sem sal, em temperatura ambiente
1 colher de chá de extrato de baunilha
4 ovos grandes
1 1/2 xícara de leite integral
1 xícara de pecãs, torradas, picadas finamente
1/4 xícara de xarope de milho (Karo e afins)
1/4 xícara de melaço de cana
1/2 colher de chá de bicarbonato de sódio

Ingredientes da calda

2 colheres de chá de água
1 colher de chá de bicarbonato de sódio
2 xícaras de açúcar
1 xícara de creme de leite fresco
1 xícara de manteiga sem sal
2 colheres de chá de xarope de milho
2/3 copo de bourbon

Modo de preparo do bolo

Pré-aqueça o forno em temperatura média. Unte com manteiga uma assadeira média
com furo no meio. Em um tigela, coloque a farinha de trigo, o fermento e o sal. Em
outra, bata com batedeira o açúcar normal e o mascavo, a manteiga e a baunilha até se
tornar uma mistura cremosa. Incorpore os ovos, um por vez. Jogue dentro desta tigela,
aos poucos, a mistura de farinha de trigo, alternando com o leite. Coloque metade
desta massa na forma untada. Em outra tigela, coloque as pecãs, o xarope de milho,
o melaço e bata, com batedeira, até misturar bem. Incorpore o bicarbonato. Jogue essa
mistura na metade restante da massa e bata, novamente. Coloque delicadamente sobre
a massa já na forma. Asse em forno médio por cerca de 45 minutos ou até inserir um
palito de fósforo no centro do bolo e este sair seco.

Modo de preparo da calda

Misture 2 colheres de chá de água e o bicarbonato de sódio em uma tigela pequena e
mexa até dissolver. Numa panela, coloque o açúcar, a manteiga, e o xarope de milho
e leve ao fogo alto — mexendo sempre — até que o açúcar e a manteiga derretam.
Reduza o calor, adicione a mistura de bicarbonato e ferva, sem esquecer de mexer, até
que vire uma calda espessa e dourada (cerca de 8 minutos). Retire do fogo, adicione o
creme de leite e o bourbon.

Finalização

Assim que o bolo esfriar, desenforme-o em um prato e coloque a calda quente sobre ele.
Deixe esfriar antes de comer.

MELHOR FILME

THE LIFE OF ÉMILE ZOLA

The Life of Emile Zola (Emile Zola) é um filme norte-americano de 1937, do gênero drama biográfico, dirigido por William Dieterle. 

O filme narra a ascensão do escritor francês Émile Zola e seu envolvimento na defesa do capitão Alfred Dreyfus, um militar condenado injustamente sob a acusão de traição apenas por ser judeu. Na verdade, ele passa a se interessar pelo caso somente quando procurado pela esposa de Dreyfus, e desafia os militares publicando J'accuse, um manifesto a favor do capitão.

Venceu nas categorias de melhor filme, melhor ator coadjuvante (Joseph Schildkraut) e melhor roteiro.
Indicado nas categorias de melhor ator principal (Paul Muni), melhor diretor, melhor direção de arte, melhor diretor assistente, melhor trilha sonora, melhor som e melhor história original.

Le film évoque la vie d´Émile Zola, écrivain français de renom, à partir du début de sa carrière littéraire jusqu'à sa mort. On y voit son ascension en tant qu'auteur, mais on se penche particulièrement sur l´affaire Dreyfus qui défraya les manchettes de la presse française à la fin du 19^e siècle. Alfred Dreyfus est condamné et emprisonné injustement pour traîtrise. Émile Zola ira à sa défense, malgré l'impopularité que cette situation lui apportera.

 

The Life of Émile Zola is a 1937 American biographical film of famous French author Émile Zola. It depicts his friendship with noted painter Paul Cézanne, and his rise to fame through his prolific writing, with particular focus on his involvement in the Dreyfus affair. The film had its premiere at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles and was a great success both critically and financially; contemporary reviews cited it as the best biographical film made up to that time. It is still held in high regard by many critics. It is the second biographical film to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

Struggling writer Émile Zola (Paul Muni) shares a drafty Paris attic with his friend, painter Paul Cézanne (Vladimir Sokoloff). A chance encounter with a street prostitute (Erin O'Brien-Moore) hiding from a police raid leads to his first bestseller, Nana, an exposé of the seamy underside of Parisian life. Other successful books follow. Zola becomes rich and famous; he marries Alexandrine (Gloria Holden) and settles down to a comfortable life in his mansion. One day, his old friend Cézanne, still poor and unknown, visits him before leaving the city. He tells Zola that he has become complacent, a far cry from the zealous reformer of his youth.

Meanwhile, a French secret agent steals a letter addressed to a military officer in the German embassy. The letter confirms there is a spy within the top French army staff. With little thought (and much antisemitism), the army commanders decide that Jewish Captain Alfred Dreyfus (Joseph Schildkraut) is the traitor. He is courtmartialed and imprisoned on Devil's Island in French Guyana.

Later, Colonel Picquart (Henry O'Neill), the new chief of intelligence, discovers evidence implicating Major Walsin-Esterhazy (Robert Barrat) as the spy, but he is ordered by his superiors to remain silent, as this revelation would embarrass them. He is quickly reassigned to a distant post.

Years go by. Finally, Dreyfus's loyal wife Lucie (Gale Sondergaard) pleads with Zola to take up her husband's cause. Zola is reluctant to give up his comfortable life, but the evidence she has brought him piques his curiosity and he recalls Cézanne's parting words. He publishes a letter in the newspaper accusing the army of covering up a monstrous injustice. Zola barely escapes from an angry mob incited by agents provocateurs employed by the military.

As he had expected, he is brought to trial for libel. His attorney, Maitre Labori (Donald Crisp) does his best, but the presiding judge refuses to allow him to bring up the Dreyfus affair and the military witnesses all commit perjury, with the exception of Picquart. Zola is found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison. He reluctantly accepts the advice of his friends and flees to England, where he continues to write on behalf of Dreyfus.

A new administration finally admits that Dreyfus is innocent, those responsible for the coverup are forced to resign or are dismissed, and Walsin-Esterhazy flees the country. However, Zola dies of carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty stove the night before the public ceremony in which Dreyfus is exonerated.

Louise Abbéma

Matin d´avril

Élégante Place de la Concorde - Musée Carnavalet

Louise Abbéma (Etampes, França, 1853 - Paris, França, 1927) foi uma pintora francesa descendendo de Louise Contat, célebre atriz francesa, e do Conde Luís de Narbonne, ministro da guerra em 1791.

Louise Abbéma estreou no Salon de 1874 e não tardou a chamar a atenção pela franqueza e maleabilidade do seu talento. Produziu retratos, entre os quais se deve notar o de Paulo Mantz, Sarah Bernhardt, sua grande amiga e, dizem, sua amante. Entre suas obras estão pinturas decorativas, flores, aquarelas, medalhões e águas fortes.

Portrait de Sarah Bernhardt (1876)



Louise Abbéma (30 octobre 1853 à Étampes - 1927 à Paris) est une peintre française de la Belle Époque.

Elle fut élève de Charles Chaplin, de Jean-Jacques Henner et de Carolus-Duran. Elle eut un grand succès grâce à un portrait de Sarah Bernhardt, réalisé alors qu’elle avait 22 ans.

Elle exposa régulièrement au Salon des artistes français jusqu’en 1926, où elle reçut une mention honorable en 1881. Elle reçut la Légion d'honneur en 1906.

Elle travailla aussi pour plusieurs magazines d’art et illustra La Mer de René Maizeroy.

Elle reste surtout connue pour ses portraits de femmes de la haute société. Son style est conventionnel et ne reflète rien des courants créateurs de son époque, fondateurs de l'art moderne.

At the Piano - Private Collection



Abbéma was born in Étampes, Essonne. She began painting in her early teens, and studied under such notables of the period as Charles Joshua Chaplin, Jean-Jacques Henner and Carolus-Duran. She first received recognition for her work at age 23 when she painted a portrait of Sarah Bernhardt, her life-long friend and, many believe, her lover.

She went on to paint portraits of other contemporary notables, and also painted panels and murals which adorned the Paris Town Hall, the Paris Opera House, numerous theatres including the "Theatre Sarah Bernhardt", and the "Palace of the Colonial Governor" at Dakar, Senegal.

She was a regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon, where she received an honorable mention for her panels in 1881. Abbéma was also among the female artists whose works were exhibited in the Women's Building at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago. A bust Sarah Bernhardt sculpted of Abbéma was also exhibited at the exposition.

Abbéma specialized in oil portraits and watercolors, and many of her works showed the influence from Chinese and Japanese painters, as well as contemporary masters such as Édouard Manet. She frequently depicted flowers in her works. Among her best known works are The Seasons, April Morning, Place de la Concorde, Among the Flowers, Winter, and portraits of actress Jeanne Samary, Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil, Ferdinand de Lesseps, and Charles Garnier.

Abbéma was also an accomplished printmaker, sculptor, and designer, as well as a writer who made regular contributions to the journals Gazette des Beaux-Arts and L'Art.

Among the many honors conferred upon Abbéma was nomination as "Official Painter of the Third Republic." She was also awarded a bronze medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle and in 1906 made a Chevalier of the Order of the Légion d'honneur.

Abbéma died in Paris in 1927. At the end of the 20th century, as contributions by women to the arts in past centuries received more critical and historical attention, her works have been enjoying a renewed popularity.

Frank Sinatra - My way



MY WAY

And now, the end is near,

And so I face the final curtain.

My friends, I'll say it clear;

I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full -

I've travelled each and every highway.

And more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few,

But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course -

Each careful step along the byway,

And more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,

When I bit off more than I could chew,

But through it all, when there was doubt,

I ate it up and spit it out.

I faced it all and I stood tall

And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried,

I've had my fill - my share of losing.

And now, as tears subside,

I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that,

And may I say, not in a shy way -

Oh no. Oh no, not me.

I did it my way.

For what is a man? What has he got?

If not himself - Then he has naught.

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels.

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way.

Yes, it was my way.

John White Alexander

Alethea

John White Alexander (7 October 1856 – 31 May 1915) was an American portrait, figure, and decorative painter and illustrator.

He was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, now a part of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Orphaned in infancy, he was reared by his grandparents and at the age of 12 became a telegraph boy in Pittsburgh. His talent at drawing attracted the attention of one of his employers, who assisted him to develop them. He moved to New York at the age of eighteen and worked in an office at Harper's Weekly, where he was an illustrator and political cartoonist. After an apprenticeship of three years, he travelled to Munich for his first formal training. Owing to the lack of funds, he removed to the village of Polling, Bavaria. He travelled to Venice and then he continued his studies in Florence, the Netherlands, and Paris.

In 1881 he returned to New York and speedily achieved great success in portraiture. His first exhibition in the Paris Salon of 1893 was a brilliant success and was followed by his immediate election to the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts.

John White Alexander died in New York on 31 May 1915.

Many of his paintings are in museums and public places in the United States and in Europe, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Art Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Butler Institute, and the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. In addition, in the entrance hall to the Art Museum of the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, a series of Alexander's murals entitled "Apotheosis of Pittsburgh" (1905–1907) covers the walls of the three-storey atrium area.

Il commença sa carrière en 1875 comme illustrateur au Harper's Weekly avant de partir pour l'Europe (1877), Il se lia avec Whistler, dont l'influence sur son style est manifesté.

C'est alors en effet qu'Alexander évolue d'une matière épaisse, empâtée, vers une touche plus fine et une couleur plus étale. De retour aux États-Unis en 1881, il continua à travailler pour le Harper's, et devint parallèlement un portraitiste renommé).

Il habita Paris de 1890 à 1901, fréquentant Rodin, H. James, O. Wilde ou Mirbeau, et y fut en contact avec le Symbolisme et l'Art nouveau.

Joan Sutherland



A cantora de ópera australiana Joan Sutherland, conhecida como "La Stupenda" por sua legião de fãs, morreu aos 83 anos na Suíça, anunciou na segunda-feira (11/10/10) sua gravadora Decca.

Sua família disse que a soprano, certa vez considerada pelo tenor italiano Luciano Pavarotti "a maior voz do século", morreu em paz nas primeiras horas do domingo depois de sofrer longamente de uma doença.

A cantora estreou nos palcos em 1951 e, ao longo de uma carreira ilustre que abrangeu 40 anos, apresentou-se em muitos dos maiores teatros de ópera do mundo.

Sua última aparição no palco foi em 31 de dezembro de 1989, no Royal Opera House de Londres, cantando "Die Fledermaus" ao lado de Pavarotti.

Depois de se aposentar dos palcos, ela continuou ativa, ensinando cantores mais jovens, e se tornou presença constante em júris de concursos de cantores em todo o mundo.

Mutiny on the Bounty (O Grande Motim) é um filme estadunidense de 1935, do gênero drama, dirigido por Frank Lloyd, com roteiro baseado no romance homônimo de autoria de Charles Nordhoff e James Norman Hall, de 1932, por sua vez baseado num caso real.

O filme relata a história verídica, ocorrida em 1789, de Fletcher Christian, que comandou um motim no navio inglês Bounty, por não concordar com a forma severa com que seu capitão, William Blight, os comandava.

Este acontecimento provocou uma reformulação na forma como os capitães da marinha britânica passaram a comandar seus navios.

É o único filme de toda a histórias dos Oscars que os 3 atores principais foram nomeados para o título de melhor ator. Nenhum ganhou.

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me

Extreme ways that help me
That help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone

Did you ever like it planned
I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby

Like it always does, always does
Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't give up the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything

That could get me at all
I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't even believe
I would stand in line for this
It's always good in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

Girl with a tress

Christ in the desert - Tretyakov Gallery

Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi (1837 – 1887) was a Russian painter and art critic. He was the intellectual leader of the Russian democratic art movement in 1860-1880.

Kramskoi came from a poor petty-bourgeois family. From 1857 to 1863 he studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts; he reacted against academic art, and he was an initiator of the "revolt of fourteen" which ended with an expulsion from the Academy of arts of its graduates.

Under the influence of ideas of the Russian revolutionary democrats Kramskoi asserted representation about a high public duty of artist, principles of realism, moral substance and a nationality of art. He created gallery of portraits of the largest Russian writers, scientific, artists and public figures in which expressive simplicity of a composition, clearness of figure emphasize the leading part of the profound psychological characteristic. Democratic sights of Kramskoi found the brightest expression in portraits of the peasants who reflected sincere riches and internal advantage of the person from people.

Kramskoi treated a religious plot in moral–philosophical plan. He gave the Christ dramatic experiences deeply psychological vital interpretation, idea of heroic self-sacrifice. One of Kramskoi’s most well known paintings is Christ in the Desert (1872, Tretyakov gallery).
