Isaura Gomes (born 1944) is a Cape Verdean politician and pharmacist.

 Expressed and brought together around music, hallmark of the people of Cape Verde.
A Cape Verde hurricane, or Cabo Verde hurricane is an Atlantic hurricane that originates at low-latitude in the deep tropics from a tropical wave that has passed over or near the Cape Verde islands after exiting the coast of West Africa.
 The average hurricane season has about two Cape Verde hurricanes, which are often the largest and most intense storms of the season due to having plenty of warm open ocean over which to develop before encountering land or other factors prompting weakening.
 A good portion of Cape Verde storms are large, some setting records.
 Most of the longest-lived tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin are Cape Verde hurricanes.
 While many move harmlessly out to sea, some move across the Caribbean sea and into the Gulf of Mexico, becoming damaging storms for Caribbean nations, Central America, Mexico, Bermuda, the United States, and occasionally even Canada.
 Research projects since the 1970s have been launched to understand the formation of these storms.
In sports broadcasting, a sports analyst provides expert discussion of sports-related topics before, during, or after a sporting event.
 Sports analysts are frequently former athletes who participated in the sport being analyzed.
 A sports analyst is different from a sports commentator in that sports commentators provide a running commentary regarding a sporting event while the event is taking place, whereas sports analysts usually provide commentary about sporting events which have yet to take place or which have already concluded.
 The job of the color commentator is a hybrid of the two styles, providing expert analysis of a sporting event while the sporting event is taking place.
The Olympic Winter Games (official name) (French: "Jeux olympiques d'hiver" ) is a major international sporting event held once every four years, for sports practised on snow and ice.
 The first Winter Olympics, the 1924 Winter Olympics, was held in Chamonix, France.
 The original five sports (broken into nine disciplines) were bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, Nordic skiing (consisting of the disciplines military patrol, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, and ski jumping), and skating (consisting of the disciplines figure skating and speed skating).
 The Games were held every four years from 1924 to 1936, interrupted in 1940 and 1944 by World War II, and resumed in 1948.
 Until 1992 the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same years, but in accordance with a 1986 decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to place the Summer and Winter Games on separate four-year cycles in alternating even-numbered years, the next Winter Olympics after 1992 was in 1994.

 Notes for 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000 réis followed in 1909.
