O Natal de Luz 2022 começou em Contagem. Por volta das 19h30, a praça da Glória, no Eldorado, se iluminou refletindo nos rostos dos presentes um sentimento de admiração e pertencimento. Celulares para o alto filmando o momento e selfies em meio às luzes foram cenas constantes entre o público que lotou a praça.
Presente à inauguração, a prefeita de Contagem, Marília Campos, festejou o momento: "Quando estive aqui, dias atrás, nos testes das luzes de Natal, um sentimento de alegria me contagiou. As luzes não apenas iluminam, como nos remetem à esperança. E o mais importante de tudo é a população ter vindo.Esse convívio, juntos, comemorando o ano que passou e sonhando que o ano que vem será melhor. De antemão, desejo um feliz Natal a todas as famílias de Contagem".
Nos arredores, as barracas da Feira da Economia Solidária comercializavam comidas, bebidas, além de artesanatos, com vários empreendimentos com filas após a iluminação completa da praça.
Feliz com o momento, Edna Cardoso destacou a importância desse tipo de evento. "Para nós, feirantes, esse momento é esperado durante boa parte do ano, pois é um dos momentos que conseguimos ter um retorno financeiro e, por isso, é muito positivo na vida de quem faz parte desse projeto", disse. Ela lembrou, ainda, que em 2021 o resultado já havia sido satisfatório. Para ela, "após um momento ruim, com pandemia, quando muitos comerciantes passaram por dificuldades, a volta da feira e, consequentemente, dos eventos, proporcionou não apenas um alívio financeiro, como uma nova oportunidade para mais pessoas também poderem expor seus produtos".
Na barraca ao lado, Divinair Melo Silva celebrou a primeira oportunidade em um evento de Natal. "É a primeira vez e as expectativas são as melhores possíveis. Certamente serão dias de festa, de muito movimento e esperamos vender bastante, melhorando a renda familiar e conseguindo nosso sustento", disse.
O professor Marcos Silva prestigiou a inauguração das luzes ao lado da esposa, Thaís Alves, e das filhas Rafaela, 4, e Sofia, 2, e comemorou o Natal. “Esse tipo de evento é sempre interessante de participar, pois traz um sentimento bom, de alegria, esperança e leva a magia do Natal a todos, inclusive para as crianças". Contudo, lamentou chegar mais tarde à praça. "Infelizmente não conseguimos ver o Papai e a Mamãe Noel hoje, mas haverá outras oportunidades".
As cores e as luzes em diversos formatos, seja em estrelas, túneis, ou em pisca-pisca também encantaram a dona de casa, Jane Aparecida, 36. Ela, que estava ao lado do marido, Jairo Gomes, e da filha, Valentina Esther, afirmou que "tudo está muito colorido, animado e lindo. É algo que traz um sentimento bom, de esperança", completou.
O evento teve continuidade com a apresentação da Ultra Jazz Big Band, que voltará a se apresentar em Contagem, no encerramento do Natal de Luz, dia 23 de dezembro, na praça da Jabuticaba, no Centro, a partir das 19h.
Neste sábado, a celebração de Natal continua no CSU Amazonas, no Industrial. Artistas de Contagem se uniram e estarão no palco, cantando músicas conhecidas e embalando a emoção da população.

This scramble asked us to use scraps, have layers and use a HA stamp as main element. Used my good old ruffled flower and HA sentiment - the leaves were in my scrapbasket as was the banner.
Inspired by Online Card Class Pattern Paper with Jennifer McGuire and Kristin Werner. Thought it would make a perfect spring card.

I am sentimental, this will come as no surprise I am sure. I keep almost everything and elevate it to status of personally important memento. I keep text messages from loved ones, and, naturally, their hand-written counterparts. I keep the postcards that friends send and the receipts from a good night. I keep it all deliciously in unordered state, in wallet stuffed or between the pages of a book. Propped on shelf are these keepsakes not so much for reasons of nostalgia but—as I think it was Agnès Varda described it so—enjoyment. I enjoy looking at them. They make me feel comfortable and connected to things. Every once in a while I store them away from view in preparation for the new wave of keepsakes to grace the bookshelves and mantelpieces. Some receipts may worm their way into the tax box whilst others rubbed bare are dispatched after lengthy stay.
C'est à peu prés ce que devait ressentir le Christ à ce moment là.
Un mélange d'incompréhension, d'amour, de peine et d'amour pour son prochain.
Nous ignorons tout des sentiments du Christ.
A aucun moment il n'exprime une émotion.
C'est un peu comme si tout, absolument tout passait par le verbe. Nous savons que tout ne passe pas seulement par le verbe mais que le non verbal ( comme les expressions du visage, les petits gestes) parle bien plus et qu'en est-il des sens (l'odorat, la vue, le touché, ...)
La maîtrise des émotions du Christ surprend dans cette scène : La patience, l'attente, la compréhension, l'amour de son prochain, l'acceptation des événements.
L'ensemble des sentiments qui l'aurait attaché à l'humanité ; Le christ les a caché à la face du monde sur le Mont des Oliviers.

SPENCE, FRANCIS STEPHENS, teacher, journalist, prohibitionist, and politician; b. 29 March 1850 in Donegal (Republic of Ireland), third son of Jacob Spence, a Methodist minister, and Elizabeth Stephens; m. 1 July 1879 Sara Violet Norris in Eglinton (Toronto), and they had two daughters; d. 8 March 1917 in Toronto.
One of 12 children, Frank Spence came to Upper Canada with his parents in 1861 and the family settled in Toronto. Jacob Spence, who had been involved in Ireland in the abstinence movement led by Father Theobald Mathew, immediately took up temperance work in Toronto and would become secretary of the Ontario Temperance and Prohibitory League. An ardent crusader, he spoke from platforms across Ontario, towing his children in his wake to rouse temperance sentiment. He also operated a printing-press in his home to turn out pamphlets, a task for which the children were conscripted as printers and writers. The message of these temperance pamphlets – that material and moral progress were two sides of the same coin – would become a guiding principle for both Frank and his younger brother Benjamin H.
After attending Toronto Normal School, Spence taught near Lundy’s Lane (Niagara Falls), in Prescott, and in Toronto, where he rose to become a headmaster. But his childhood commitment to reform and his experience in publishing led him to leave teaching in 1883 to take on the editorship of the Canada Citizen and Temperance Herald, a task he performed for six years. As well, between 1884 and 1889 he managed its parent firm, the Citizen Publishing Company of Toronto Limited. Spence later edited other prohibition journals, including the Camp Fire, the Vanguard, and the Ontario Good Templar, and in 1902 he founded the Pioneer, which would become the official organ of the temperance movement in Ontario in 1904.
Having identified himself as a reformer, Spence was attracted to the Liberal party, in which he played an active role both federally and provincially. However, it was only in the city politics of Toronto that he campaigned for office. A member of the public school board in 1887–88 and a vigorous opponent of Sunday streetcars as early as 1893, he first ran for an aldermanic seat in 1894. He served as an alderman in 1896–97, 1899–1900, 1902–5, and 1914; as acting mayor in 1911; as a controller in 1904–5, 1908, 1910–11, and 1915; and as chairman of the Toronto Harbour Trust in 1904–11 and a board member in 1911–14 of the Toronto Harbour Commissioners, which he had been instrumental in creating. He ran for mayor twice, in 1905 and 1911, but lost both times, in part because of his announced determination to reduce liquor licences in Toronto, even in defiance of public opinion. Spence also held executive positions in both the Ontario Municipal Association – he was a vice-president in 1910–11 – and the Union of American Municipalities.
As a municipal politician and administrator, Spence was in the reformist mainstream. He favoured female suffrage (his mother had been a prominent suffragist) and was sympathetic to unions and public ownership of hydroelectric power. Indeed, he has been credited with being one of five key figures in the founding of Ontario Hydro [see Sir Adam Beck*]. He also supported the playground movement, and was an advocate of city planning, especially in the development of Toronto Harbour. All of these reforms were, in his view, bound together as elements of a compound of material and moral or spiritual progress. Spence had the twin faiths characteristic of many reformers of his day, faith in reason and faith in God. Their union was reflected in his writings and speeches, which were marked by evangelical righteousness – enemies would call it self-righteousness – hammered home with the reason of efficiency backed by statistics. Speaking to the Canadian Club in 1908 on the subject of Toronto’s street railways, he linked public ownership, efficient operation, the prevention of graft, and moral development. “The city highways ought to be controlled by the city council,” he maintained. “There is a social cohesiveness in the co-operation of a community . . . for the common good. When the man is working for the community he is working for himself. It is thus we attain the ideal. Ours becomes a better city. Ours is a truer Christianity.” The crucial requirement for both material and moral progress, however, was the destruction of the liquor traffic, and it was to this requirement that Spence devoted most of his life.
The Dominion Alliance for the Total Suppression of the Liquor Traffic, with branches in every province, and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union [see Letitia Creighton*] were the major voices of temperance sentiment in Canada. Spence had become secretary (and sole full-time worker) of the Alliance’s Ontario branch in 1884 and, by 1891, of the national body as well. In these positions, from which he would dominate the Alliance until 1907, Spence was the chief organizer and strategist for the prohibition campaign. Yet his political affiliations, to the Ontario Liberals in particular, caused difficulty for both him and the movement. Though publicly more sympathetic to prohibition than the Conservatives, the Liberal government of Oliver Mowat* was slow to produce legislation. When in 1893 Conservative mla George Frederick Marter* introduced a bill to bar the retail sale of liquor in Ontario, a bill which Spence and other prohibitionists supported, the government substituted for it a measure requiring a court ruling on provincial jurisdiction in the matter. Spence, a gradualist in reform, was prepared to accept piecemeal legislation and to work within the Liberal party to achieve it. Less patient activists, the so-called Advanced Prohibitionists, wanted full prohibition immediately and were increasingly distrustful of the Liberals’ plodding pace. Their distrust was heightened by the provincial plebiscite on prohibition held by Mowat’s government in 1894; they had wanted a prohibition law without such a referendum. Spence, however, persuaded the Ontario branch of the Dominion Alliance to participate in the plebiscite and he was named secretary-general of its campaign. Prohibitionists won the vote, but the hostility of the Advanced Prohibitionists proved justified when Mowat deferred legislation, again pleading uncertainty over his constitutional powers.
Prohibitionists had also been active at the federal level. Spence met frequently with government leaders to demand national prohibition. The Conservative government responded in 1892 by appointing a royal commission to investigate the liquor traffic. Though Spence regarded it, correctly, as a delaying tactic, he agreed to act for the Dominion Alliance as its representative during the hearings. Most of the commissioners were opposed to prohibition, a sentiment reflected in their report, which was presented in 1895. It argued against prohibition, advocating instead more stringent controls on the sale of alcohol. Spence, feeling that the report ignored substantial testimony in favour of prohibition, published a response to it in The facts of the case: a summary of the most important evidence and argument used in the report of the royal commission on the liquor traffic (Toronto, 1896).
In 1893 Spence had been a delegate to the convention of the federal Liberal party, where he pressed for the adoption of prohibition in its platform. However, he grudgingly accepted a motion calling for a national plebiscite on the question, reasoning, again from his gradualist position, that a plebiscite was better than nothing. The Dominion Alliance supported him in this decision and named him its secretary-general for the national campaign. Held in 1898, the plebiscite resulted in another victory for prohibition. Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier nevertheless declined to act on it since prohibitionists, though holding a majority among those voting, had only a minority of the full electorate and had suffered a defeat in Quebec. Disappointed and bitter over Quebec’s response, but not yet disenchanted with the Liberal party, Spence turned his attention once again to the provincial scene.
In 1899 George William Ross, a member of the Sons of Temperance and a vice-president of the Alliance’s Ontario branch, became Liberal premier of Ontario. In what seemed a vindication of Spence’s faith in the Liberals, a bill was passed in March 1902 that provided for prohibition. However, conditions were added: the bill had to be ratified in a referendum and ratification would require 214,000 votes in favour (representing a majority of the votes cast in the provincial general election of 1898).
Advanced Prohibitionists in the Ontario branch, led by the Reverend Samuel Dwight Chown*, staged a revolt over this requirement. They organized the Union Prohibition Committee (later the Temperance Legislation League) to run candidates in opposition to the Liberals in the provincial election of May 1902, before the referendum. Spence and the Alliance were able to defuse this revolt by permitting the prohibitionists in each riding to determine which candidate deserved their support and “whether or not it is desirable to bring out an independent candidate.” In the event, six such candidates ran but all were defeated. Third party movements would never again be a serious problem for Spence.
Prohibitionists carried the referendum in December, but they fell some 14,000 votes short of meeting Ross’s requirement, a shortfall Ross used to excuse his government from further action. The convention of the Ontario branch in 1903 stripped him of his vice-presidency, and Spence, at last, abandoned partisan politics to concentrate on winning prohibition gradually by fighting campaigns against the retail sale of liquor within municipal jurisdictions. These campaigns for local option gave the Ontario branch considerable political experience, but the financial cost was high. To meet it Spence induced Protestant clergymen to surrender their pulpits to branch speakers for at least one Sunday each year, with the collection to go to the branch. By 1911 proceeds from these “Field Days” had enabled it to build up a head-office staff of as many as 10 organizers and 30 clerical workers.
This local-option policy brought considerable success to the Ontario branch, with much of the province, especially the rural areas, voting to prohibit retail sales. An added gain was that the Conservatives, who defeated Ross in 1905, enforced liquor laws more effectively than had the Liberals and were cooperative in gradually restricting the issue of liquor licences [see Sir James Pliny Whitney].
In January 1907 Spence stepped down as secretary of the Ontario branch to be succeeded by his brother the Reverend Ben Spence. He was made honorary president of the branch, though his energies were far from being drained. He retained the managing editorship of the Pioneer and continued, in city council, to fight for a reduced number of liquor licences. In 1912 the Alliance’s Dominion Council elected him president and asked him to visit all the provinces “to strengthen the cause,” a job that would necessitate much travel.
When Spence had resigned in 1907, his gradualist strategy was making progress, with the prohibition movement seemingly freed from the Liberal party and the Ontario branch well staffed and funded. This situation, however, soon changed dramatically. By 1910 it was clear that most of those districts which had not adopted local option never would. Any further advance would have to come about through a provincial prohibition law. The Conservatives refused to act but the opposition Liberals, led by Newton Wesley Rowell* from 1911, came close with a policy of abolishing bars. By the provincial election of 1914, a combination of prohibitionist need and Liberal promise had effectively brought the Ontario branch back into the Liberal camp. Spence had taken the branch far in organization and funding, but, in terms of strategy, 1914 found it back at the impasse of 1894.
The stalemate was broken in 1915 when the campaign for prohibition gained enormous momentum as part of the war effort in Ontario. The movement of the Conservative government of William Howard Hearst* towards the enactment of prohibition in 1916 was strengthened in 1915 by a resolution of the Ontario branch, presented by Spence in March, and by the formation in October of the bipartisan Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred. Spence was not a member of this committee, possibly because of his resumption of work as a city controller and perhaps because his years of strong partisanship made him a liability. He was active, however, at the federal level, where a similar bipartisan approach was initiated in the form of the Dominion Prohibition Committee, organized in Ottawa in December 1916. Its “guiding spirit,” Spence prepared its manifesto and was part of the deputation that met with Prime Minister Sir Robert Laird Borden* in January.
Frank Spence died suddenly of pneumonia at his Toronto home in March 1917, just as his life’s-work was about to be completed. All provinces but Quebec had adopted provincial prohibition, and federal prohibition was imminent, thanks in part to prohibitionist support for the Union government formed later in 1917. Though the movement departed from Spence’s strategy, in its focus on bipartisan committees, the organizational base from which it worked had been built largely by Spence. Luckily, he was spared knowing that most of his achievement would soon vanish as one province after another opted for government control and sale of liquor.
Fa fred... serà que et trobes sola
Estic sola... serà que no has mirat al voltant
No hi ha res al voltant... serà que no escoltes
Només hi ha silenci... doncs pensa que ja has trobat alguna cosa... el silenci!!
Necessitava posar una foto, encara que fora d'arxiu... per tal d'expressar sentiments..
Que passeu una bona nit... i un bon dia de demà, amics!
Beleza pra mim tem tudo a ver com sentimento. Acredito que ser bonita é se sentir bonita, independentemente dos padrões que existam ou do que os outros pensam. Uma mulher que se sente bonita e gosta de si mesma, se curte e tem uma boa relação com o corpo, automaticamente transparece beleza. Acredito na beleza do diferente. Sempre vejo beleza naquilo que é único e justamente por isso não acredito em algo pré estabelecido. A minha relação com a beleza é essa. Me sinto bonita por ser exatamente como sou, com todos os defeitos e singularidades; e os momentos em que me sinto mais bonita são os que estou tranquila. De bem comigo mesma. Com roupas simples e confortáveis, sem pressões externas, apenas sendo eu mesma.

Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat (People’s Uprising Rally / #KL112) was a protest rally held at Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur on January 12th, 2012. It was organised by Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and various NGOs.
At its peak the crowd is estimated to have been between 63,976 – 78,193 people. For details on how this figure was calculated please read this post.
The purpose of this report is to show:
- Where Twitter users in Malaysia are concentrated
- How many of them tweeted about the event
- Where positive / neutral / negative sentiment was concentrated
- Which areas were devoid of users tweeting about the event
We collected 103,343 tweets from 25,901 users tweeting about the event. A detailed analysis of that along with a comparison with Bersih 2 and Bersih 3 will come in a future report.
In addition to collecting tweets about the event, we also collected geo-located tweets from Malaysia. This was to show areas where Twitter users were concentrated, and visualise the percentage of them tweeting about the event. From our experience 5% -10% of Twitter users use geo-located tweets.
We ran an opinion-based sentiment analysis on users tweeting about the event, using the same methodology previously used on tweets regarding free education and the abolishment of PTPTN. The methodology is:
- All tweets from users tweeting about the event were examined in order, and the final opinion of the user was determined.
- Users are classified as being positive (supporting the rally), negative (opposing the rally) or neutral (no clear position, but did tweet about the event).
- Common opinions expressed by the majority and minority of users were noted.
- Areas/states were classified as mostly positive, mostly negative, mixed (positive, neutral and negative users in similar amounts), neutral-negative (neutral and negative users only), and neutral-positive (neutral and positive users only).
This map shows geo-located tweets from Malaysia on January 12th 2012.
There are 138,784 tweets from 22,916 users shown on this map. 791 users tweeted about the event. This is the sample used for sentiment analysis.
Blue dots represent regular tweets from users (conversations, opinions, photos etc.)
Icons represent tweets about the event.
-Red icons are tweets from negative users.
-Blue icons are tweets from neutral users.
-Green icons are tweets from positive users.
Visual Observations
- Twitter users are concentrated in urban areas
- Awareness of the event was widespread throughout the country, though some clusters of users did not tweet about it. There were no tweets about the event coming from Langkawi, Cukai, Temerloh, Teluk Intan, Cameron Highlands and Bandar Pusat Jengka.
- There were few tweets about the event coming from Penang Island and Kuching despite the high concentration of users.
- Only 3.5% of users in the country tweeted about the event
- Positive sentiment was higher in Perak, Kuala Terengganu, Kuala Lumpur
- Negative sentiment was higher in Johor, Kelang, Batu Caves and Ampang
- Sentiment was mixed in Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Penang, Melaka, Kedah, Kelantan and Sabah
- Sentiment was neutral-negative in Sarawak, Perlis
- Sentiment was neutral-positive in Terengganu
Population Statistics
Total: 22,916 users
Within Kuala Lumpur & Selangor: 12,506 users (54.57%)
Outside Kuala Lumpur & Selangor: 10,410 (45.43%)
Tweeting about the event (sample): 791 users (3.5%)
Sentiment Analysis
Out of 791 users in the sample:
- 382 (48%) supported the rally
- 139 (18%) opposed the rally
- 270 (34%) had no opinion
Location of users:
- 575 (72.69%) within Kuala Lumpur & Selangor
- 216 (27.31%) outside Kuala Lumpur & Selangor
Positive opinions took the form of:
Majority
- “Glad to be there“
- “Excited to go“
- “Glad it was peaceful “
- Comments on the size of the crowd
Minority
- Talking about multi-racial atmosphere
- Talking about the cause of KL112
- Wanted to go but had other responsibilities
Negative opinions took the form of:
Majority
- Criticism of parents bringing children to the rally
- “People should be thankful/grateful for what you have in Malaysia”
- The rally inconvenienced shopping plans / work
- Criticism of street protests in general

- “Have other things to do and/or don’t support the cause but please be safe”
Minority
- Not interested in politics
- Criticism of hard-core PR supporters attacking them for not going
- “Better to focus on studying for upcoming exam”
Parents Bringing Children
The issue of parents bringing children was notable for changing the opinion of neutral and positive users to negative. Supporters came out to defend the parents by saying:
- If parents don’t bring their children, who will take care of them?
- If kids are allowed at Barisan Nasional rallies, why not Pakatan Rakyat’s?
- There was no damage to public property so what’s wrong with bringing kids?
Other Observations
- Some users referred to the rally as ‘perhimpunan Bersih’ or ‘Bersih gathering’.
- Some users were not supportive of the rally (for their own reasons), but were supportive of the right to assembly. These users were classified as neutral or negative based on their tone.
- Many users offered prayers for safety for others and themselves
- The general theme was that the goal of the rally was about changing the government. None of the users spoke about specifics other than a few talking about increased oil royalties for oil-producing states.
Source of Sentiment

Conclusion
Only 3.5% of users tweeting from Malaysia tweeted about the event. This is consistent with the results of our Facebook census, which showed a similarly low interest in politics from the population of users in Malaysia.
Sentiment analysis on topics in social media tends to be biased towards the opinions of those residing in Klang Valley. This is because:
- Based on the 2010 National Census, 25.19% of people in Malaysia live in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor
- From our research to-date, 51% of Twitter users in Malaysia are located in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor
- From our December 2012 census, 48% of Facebook users are located in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor
For this event 72.69% of the sample users were located in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor, making the results heavily biased. Clearly the rally was of greater interest to users within Kuala Lumpur & Selangor compared to users in the rest of the country.
It would be incorrect to say that 48% of Malaysians supported the rally. The correct interpretation is 54% of users in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor supported the rally.
Outside Kuala Lumpur & Selangor the sample size is too small to accurately reflect state-level sentiment regarding support for the rally. The ratio of sentiment (icons) to users (blue dots) needs to be considered when evaluating the results. As more Malaysians join Twitter the results of this sentiment analysis approach will become more reflective of the population.
Twitter is a viable source of information for geo-located sentiment analysis, particularly constituencies located in state capitals. Something for political strategists to note from this report:
- Consider areas where Twitter users are concentrated but didn’t tweet about the event, or hardly tweeted (such as Kuching and Penang Island). These are areas where a user market exists but political awareness is low.
- Consider areas with neutral-negative, neutral-positive or only neutral sentiment. This indicates a user market exists, political awareness exists but there is a lack of the desired sentiment.
I made up a pair of earrings that matches this necklace awhile back.....the client liked them and commissioned this. They are Czech glass of WWII vintage...but mean a lot to my client. The 14K white gold and diamongs reflect his sentiment.
Kira Nerys (a Bajoran) was opposed to the Federation presence on DS9, feeling that the Bajoran people should have nothing to do with the Federation as Bajor had just endured a 50-year occupation by the Cardassians. Over time, her sentiments changed and she became one of the strongest supporters of Bajor joining the Federation and an essential ally to Benjamin Sisko.

Interestingly this photo is a B&W - hand colourised photo, which makes me feel very old!!! Really mum was just old fashioned, colour film did exist back then!!
You can get an impression of the feelings and attitudes of people in Linz towards the environment, mobility, security, the housing situation and the public sphere from the Smart Citizen Sentiment Dashboard (SCSD) on the Ars Electronica Center. Like an ongoing opinion poll, the SCSD features a simple interface that gives people the opportunity to personally rate the quality of life in this city.The information thus gathered goes into a database of feelings that’s translated into a visual vocabulary and depicted on the Ars Electronica Center’s media façade. In this way, the SCSD makes a splendid, high-profile statement that’s designed to foster an ongoing dialog about life in Linz.
