Carmen Miranda – Chiquita Banana
Carmen Miranda
I’m Chiquita banana and I’ve come to say
Bananas have to ripen in a certain way
When they are fleck’d with brown and have a golden hue
Bananas taste the best and are best for you
You can put them in a salad
You can put them in a pie-aye
Any way you want to eat them
It’s impossible to beat them
But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator

Dia Nacional de Defesa da Fauna
(Fauna protection). It is generally known, that Brazil is very rich in fauna life. More than 500 amphibian species, almost 500 reptile species, more than 500 mammal species, more than 1600 bird species, 3000 fish species, and about 15 million insect species. Many species are threatened with extinction, due to climate changes and deforestation, for example. Unfortunately, many animals are captured for international trade. It is estimated that no less than 12 million animals are traded annually. For each sold animal, about nine did not survive their captivity. Animal trade is very profitable, only drug and weapon trade generate more money…
“Não temos nas mãos,
a solução para todos os problemas do mundo,
mas diante dos problemas do mundo,
temos nossas mãos”.

Dia do Contador
(Accountant). The profession of accountant is established by decree 9295 (1946). De Conselho Federal de Contabilidade (Federal Council of Accountants) has described the profession in more detail in Resolution 570. Accountants have St. Matthew as their patron saint. They also have a specific signet ring, and a caduceus: a staff with the winged helmet of Mercurius, de Roman god of commerce, on top of it, and flanked by two meandering snakes. The symbol represent the integration of the four elements: air, water, fire, earth. On 22 September 1945, the first accountant education institute was started.

1897
Death of Antônio Vicente Mendes Maciel (1830-1897), “Antônio Conselheiro”, leader of Canudos.
Canudos was a small settlement in the northeast of the state of Bahia, near the border with the state of Sergipe. The population mainly consisted of freed slaves, mestizos, and indians. Antônio considered himself as a messiah; as a redeemer of the poor and desperate. He gained a considerable number of followers, and wandered with them through various Brazilian states until they settled themselves in Canudos. His messianistic reputation attracted no less than eight thousand followers to Canudos. The mayor of larger Juazeiro, nearby Canudos, feared social unrest and requested provincial troops. A small expedition army was eliminated in an ambush, by followers of Antônio. As a result, President Prudente de Morais sent federal troops to Canudos. The first battle resulted in a defeat for the federal troops. A second, larger expedition force also was confronted with fierce resistance and was forced to retreat. English intervention caused the government to send another army, in order to contral these monarchist insurrectionists. A giant howitzer and machine guns were the new weapons of the federal army. Meanwhile, the rebels suffered famine and were badly equipped. Antônio died of dysentery and malnutrition, due to fasting for penitence. Canudos was surrounded and bombed for days. The rebels surrendered, there were only three armed men left. The men had their throats cut off, the women were raped or sent off to brothels in Salvador. Antônio’s head was transported to Rio de Janeiro, where it was exhibited as a trophy. it is estimated that more than fifteen thousand inhabitants of Canudos died during the military operations.

1866
Defeat of the allied troops in Curupaiti, during the Paraguayan War.
On 2 September, the Brazilian army, together with Argentinian and Uruguayan army units, had conquered the Paraguayan Fortress of Curuzú. The allied forces wanted to progress to the Fortress of Curupaiti, which was already fortified by the Paraguayans. Abundant rainfall also was an advantage for the Paraguayans, who managed to withstand, despite the loss of 2500 men. The allied troops lost 4000 men. As a result of this defeat, the Duke of Caxias was appointed as head of the Brazilian army; two years later, he managed to conquer the Paraguayan fortress.
