Dia do Lobinho
(Wolf Cubs). When Lord Baden-Powell founded Scouting, he could never have foreseen that many young children would enlist scouting. In 1916, he wrote a manual for the young children, and in 1917, the Wolf Cubs were founded. The term ‘wolf cub’ is inspired upon the indian culture, in which their beste scouts were called ‘wolves’. Therefore, young scouts are called wolf cubs.

Dia Internacional do Poeta
(International Poets Day). A poet dreams of LIVING with his poetry, to feed his soul with the purest what life has to offer: the perceptions, the vibrations of things around us. The World Day of Poetry is on 21 April, but many countries have their national Poetry Day on 4 October.
Tenho pena e não respondo
Tenho pena e não respondo.
Mas não tenho culpa enfim
De que em mim não correspondo
Ao outro que amaste em mim.
Cada um é muita gente.
Para mim sou quem me penso,
Para outros — cada um sente
O que julga, e é um erro imenso.
Ah, deixem-me sossegar.
Não me sonhem nem me outrem.
Se eu não me quero encontrar,
Quererei que outros me encontrem?
(Fernando Pessoa)

Birth of Prudente de Morais (1841-1902), third president of Brazil (1894-1898).
At the age of three, Prudente José de Morais e Barros lost his father, an animal trader, who was murdered by a slave. Prudente studied law, and started his political career at a young age. He became city Councillor, congressman, senator, and chairman of the Junta in São Paulo, after the proclamation of the Brazilian Republic in 1889. In 1894, Prudente won the first direct presidential elections and became the third president of Brazil, the first civil president. During his presidency, Prudente had to use all his diplomatic skills and talents, in order to calm down rivaling parties and to try to reconciliate them. For his interventions, Prudente gained the nickname ‘O Pacificador’, the peacemaker. However… His violent response against the rebels in Canudos, which ended in a ruthless massacre was heavily criticized. Fore several months, when Prudente underwent a surgery, he had to hand over his presidential powers to his vice-president Manuel Vitorino Pereira. Following the end of his presidential term, Prudente continued as a lawyer. He died in 1902 because of TB.

Discovery of the São Francisco River.
The world famous navigator Amérigo Vespucci had arrived at the estuary of a thus far unknown river. Because he had arrived there on 4 October, feast day of St. Francis, he baptized the river as Rio São Francisco. The river, also known with the historical name Opará, has its origin in Minas Gerais, in Serra da Canastra, and ends in the Atlantic Ocean, between the states of Alagoas and Sergipe. Its basin counts no less than 634 square kilometers (twice the size of Poland!) and measures 2830 km, a bit shorter than the Donau River (2860 km).
