Ao longo de quase duas décadas, entre 1990 a 2007, tínhamos as duas principais marcas nacionais, que realizavam os principais campeonatos e circuitos nacionais, investiam em pistas e patrocinavam skatistas, que despontam nos campeonatos mundiais subindo ao pódio e levando títulos. Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.Show book

The foundation of Roman law was deeply rooted in the customs and traditions of early Roman society. Before formal legal codification, Roman law was based on unwritten customs passed down through generations. These customs, known as mos maiorum or "the way of the ancestors," guided legal practices and social norms. However, as Rome expanded, the need for a more structured and consistent legal system became evident. This led to the development of one of the earliest recorded legal codes, the Twelve Tables, which became the cornerstone of Roman law. The Twelve Tables, established around 450 BCE, were a response to demands from the plebeians for greater legal transparency. Prior to this, laws were primarily controlled by the patrician class, leaving the lower classes vulnerable to arbitrary decisions. The Twelve Tables provided a written and publicly displayed set of laws that covered various aspects of daily life, including property rights, contracts, family matters, and criminal offenses. While these laws were often harsh by modern standards, they were crucial in establishing the principle that law should be known and applied equally to all citizens. Legal interpretation played a crucial role in the early Roman legal system, and the pontiffs, a group of religious and legal authorities, were responsible for explaining and applying the laws. Since early Roman law was closely linked to religious practices, the pontiffs held significant influence over legal matters. Over time, however, legal decision-making shifted from religious authorities to magistrates and elected officials, paving the way for a more secular and systematic approach to governance.Show book

The Puritans were English Protestants who emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries, deeply dissatisfied with the scope of the English Reformation. They believed that the Church of England had not fully distanced itself from Roman Catholic customs and needed further reform to become a more authentic expression of Protestant beliefs. In their view, many of the Catholic practices, such as hierarchical structures, rituals, and liturgies, had been retained within the Church of England, making it insufficiently Protestant. Their aim was to purify the Church, which led them to form various groups advocating for deeper piety in both personal worship and theological belief. A central element of Puritanism was its adherence to Calvinist theology, which was rooted in Reformed Christian principles. This alignment with Calvinism marked them as part of a broader movement that sought to reject Roman Catholic influences, but also led to tension with other Protestant groups, particularly those within the Church of England who were not as radical in their reforms. Many Puritans advocated for a more decentralized church structure. Some even pushed for independent congregations, which would exist outside the framework of the established Church of England and avoid its perceived corruptions. The Puritans’ influence reached a peak during the Protectorate, when the political and religious landscape of England underwent significant shifts. By the late 1630s, Puritans had developed an alliance with emerging business interests, legislative resistance to the monarchy, and Scottish Presbyterians, with whom they shared theological and political concerns. These alliances helped the Puritans gain substantial power during the First English Civil War (1642–1646). Their victory in the war and the subsequent rise of Puritan influence under Oliver Cromwell allowed them to have a profound impact on English governance and society.Show book
