Simpatia para ter sempre dinheiro em casa
Uma simpatia simples para sempre ter dinheiro em casa. Este é um costume antigo, minha avó sempre tinha como regra.
Jamais deixar faltar açúcar em casa, procurar manter o pote sempre cheio. Já que o pote vazio simbolizaria pobreza, falta de recursos e traria má sorte.
Grãos também seria fartura, procurar ter sempre grãos na cozinha, um patuá comum também é feito com diversos grãos.

105 years ago, the first human to reach the south pole arrived – Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. Famously, the second humans to reach the south pole arrived just 34 days later. The British team lead by Robert Falcon Scott reached their goal, but too late, then died on the return journey. Historians and explorers are still wondering what made one mission succeed and the other fail, with theories ranging from that Amundsen was trained by Inuits, to that Scott failed to eat his dogs.

January 15th 1929: Martin Luther King Jr. born
On this day in 1929, the future civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Born as Martin King, he and his father changed their names in honour of Protestant reformer Martin Luther. King entered the ministry in his twenties and first came to national attention for his leadership of the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. This event is considered by many to be the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, which saw a national struggle to end discrimination against African-Americans. King was one of many leaders, but became the face of the movement for his nonviolent tactics and powerful oratory. In 1963, during the March on Washington, King delivered the crowning speech of the movement - the ‘I have a dream’ speech. Beyond his role in combating racial inequality, King also focused on tackling poverty and advocating peace, especially during the Vietnam War. On April 4th 1968, King was shot and killed by James Earl Ray in Memphis, Tennessee. He lived to see the legislative achievements of the movement - the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act - but tragically was unable to continue the push for full equality. The movement King set in motion continues to be fought today; the United States is still not a completely equal society and systemic discrimination persists. However, thanks to Martin Luther King, America is closer to fulfilling King’s dream of a truly free and equal society. Since 1986, a national Martin Luther King Day is celebrated on the third Monday in January.
Today would have been his 88th birthday
