“Os Fieis
Amigos da Academia”
We want to Express our sincere
thanks to the players and
singers who performed at our last
Codfish supper. With their
popular numbers they gave us a touch of nostalgia concerning the popular songs
we all knew very well before we immigrated to
Poetry and Jokes
Because of the extension of
the musical show we did not have
time for the presentations
of Poetry and Jokes. The next
two suppers because of Thanksgiving and Christmas we are going to follow our
usual protocol and give a chance to
our poets and our humorists… So
bring your talents!

4 Portuguese that received the Nobel
Prize
To
receive the Nobel Prize is the highest honor
in the world, besides getting over
one million dollars
The Nobel Prize was established by Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist who invented the dynamite, in 1867. He built factories all over the world and when he died in 1896 at the age of 63, he was multimillionaire.
He
left a fortune of 9 millions dollars in the Swedish National Bank with a will so
that the compound interest was to be given to persons who had contribute
in a positive way to the betterment of mankind.
The
Nobel Prizes were given for the fist time in 1901. The Nobel Prizes were given
in Medicine, Peace, Physics, Chemistry, Literature and Economics. Economics was
later established by
the Swedish Bank.
The
country that has received more Nobel Prizes are citizens of
Here
are the four Portuguese citizens that have received the Nobel Prize:

He

Lobectomy
is cutting the lobes, or parts of brain in crazy people.
Lobectomy is the technique of taken out pieces of lobes of the brain in
crazy people.
Angiography
is a technique of visualizing the blood vessel with
opaque substances.
This
test is being used today in millions of persons all over the world, to
determined if we have clogged arteries or if we have tumors.
Egas
Moniz’s house in Avanca is now a beautiful Museum. Visit it when you go to

Ximenes Belo and José Ramos Horta, because of their effort for the independence
of
In
1998 –José Saramago, Writer, received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
I
tried to read the books by Saramago, in Portuguese and English, but I cannot
read them, they do not appeal to me. But those of you that want to try, go to
your local library, and I am sure you will find there copies of his books. Have
fun with them.
Now
the Noble Prize is worth more than one million dollars and it is tax free.

4
Portugueses receberam o Prémio Nobel.
Receber
o Prémio Nobel é considerado a
maior honra universal além de receber mais de um milhão de dólares.
O Prémio Nobel foi estabelecido por Alfredo Nobel, um químico sueco, que
descobriu o dinamite em 1876. Ele construiu fábricas em vários países
e quando faleceu em 1896, com a idade de 63 anos, era multimilionário.
Ele
deixou a sua fortuna de nove milhões de dólares no Banco Sueco Nacional para
que os juros deste dinheiro fossem dados em Prémios
às pessoas que contribuíssem para bem da Humanidade nos campos da
Medicina, da Física, da Química, da Literatura. Mais tarde o Banco Sueco criou
o Prémio Nobel da Economia.
O
país que tem recebido mais Prémios Nobel tem sido cidadãos dos Estados Unidos
da América.
Aqui
estão os 4 portugueses que receberam Prémio Nobel.
Em
1949, o Professor António Egas Moniz, nascido em Avanca, Continente, graduou
pela Universidade de Coimbra, e
tornou-se professor de Neurologia, em Lisboa.
Ele
recebeu o Prémio Nobel da Medicina por ter descoberto a técnica cirúrgica da
Lobotomia, Lobectomia e da Angiografia. A Lobotomia é cortar um lobo, ou parte
do cérebro nas pessoas doidas. A lobectomia é tirar fora um pedaço do lobo do
cérebro nas pessoas doidas.
Angiografia
é visualizar os vasos sanguíneos com substância opacas. Este teste
ainda é usado diariamente em milhões
de pessoas por esse mundo para ver se as artérias estão enferrujadas ou se há
tumores em determinados órgãos.
A
casa de Egas Moniz é hoje um Museu que vale a pena visitar.
Em
1996 – Mais dois portugueses
receberam o Prémio Nobel – Bispo Carlos Ximenes Belo e José Ramos Horta,
pela luta que tiveram para que Timor Leste se torna-se independente.
Em
1998 -- José Saramago, escritor,
recebeu o Prémio Nobel da Literatura.
Eu tenho tentado ler os livros do Saramago em inglês e português e não sou capaz. Não são o meu estilo de literatura. Mas vocês podem ir á vossa biblioteca local e experimentar lê-los. Oxalá gostem.
