He has been treated for pneumonia due to the inhalation of smoke. His friend, lawyer Geraldo Santos, told Folha de Pernambuco newspaper that he jumped and landed in bushes just moments before the helicopter crashed. 'There is a video that we believe was the moment he jumped. I think he must have been about 10 meters (32 feet) high,' Geraldo Santos said. DailyMail.com reviewed footage of the crash, but it was difficult to determine if Henrique Santos had leaped from the helicopter. Separate video footage showed the aircraft covered in flames while Henrique Santos, whose burns were visible, was standing near the debris and talking to residents, who rushed to render assistance before first responders arrived on the scene 'He is taking a cocktail of antibiotics due to the infection from the burns,' Geraldo Santos said. 'Tomorrow he will undergo new surgery to remove some of the burned parts and clean them.' Doctors will then determine if Henrique Santos, who owns a livestock farm and an online store that sells wild and exotic pets, will be transferred to a medical facility in his hometown of Recife, the capital of Pernambuco. Pernambuco Military Fire Department Mayor André Pereira told TV Asa Branca that the fire was controlled within 20 minutes of their arrival. The National Civil Aviation Agency dispatched investigators from the Second Regional Service for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents to investigate the crash site on Tuesday and recover data. 'Specific techniques are used in Data Collection, conducted by qualified and accredited personnel who collect and confirm data, preserve the elements, perform the initial verification of damage caused to the aircraft, or by the aircraft, and collect other information necessary for the investigation,' the Brazilian Air Force said in a statement.

we had the first main  course in veterinarian agroecology in partnership with UFRPE Garanhuns Campus UAG and IPA; it has been a space for teaching training in the schools of the settlements and the EJA CAMPO program in partnership with the Pernambuco State Department of Education where have gathered more than 2,000 teachers; a specialized course in promoting the safety and health of the environment 2017-2019 with the School of Government of Brasilia/Fiocruz-BSB with 55 students a Free Course on promoting the safety and health of the environment and the workforce with the School of Government of Brasilia/Fiocruz-BSB – 2017-2019 with 40 students;

in addition to some many other courses and activities realized in this Training Center the Center has partnerships with almost all the existing State Institutions that directly or indirectly perform activities day by day appropriating the structures provided by the Center The Center received the International Congress as a forum of the region in addition to countless national meetings it became a reference for training and to specialize in the field of agroecology we see no reason for INCRA to request repossession besides an ideological motivation to impose a defeat for MST in the Pernambuco State we are reaching for all the possible venues to prevent this insanity against the Paulo Freire Training Center and the Normandy Settlement from happening the judge orders that every community are be destroyed It is worth remembering that in this space we have 3 agribusiness belonging to the Normandy agricultural cooperative which belong to the CPA of the Boleiras Collective The destruction of all this would be a huge setback we are calling each and every one to help us save the Paulo Freire Training Center “Land for me is life.”“It is everything, it is health, food security, and dignity.” “It is life, overcoming adversity, and land security.”“[Land for me is…] achievement and sustainability.”“It is our home, where we raise our children, and where we preserve our culture.” – What does land mean for you? (2015)   and ethnic discrimination hamper implementation policies and institutions are not yet truly responsive to the lives of women especially those living in extreme poverty It takes much more to affect real change on the ground.What can be done to address the gender asset gap and secure land rights for women especially in a patriarchal society such as Brazil Espaço Feminista – the organization I lead – has been dedicated to empowering grassroots women in northeast Brazil so that women and men are enabled to transform gender and ethnic relations; secure equal rights; and claim autonomy to break out of extreme poverty whose experiences give texture and depth to the causes of severe land inequity in a country where the Constitution and Civil Code have enshrined equal property rights for men and women  This is shown by the immense land concentration in Brazil in the hands of a few Women who live in extreme poverty have many barriers to exercising their right to land   National statistics and local data consistently indicate this gender disparity When Espaço Feminista collected data in Bonito and Caruaru two municipalities in Agreste Central in 2018 we found that only 12% of total registered land was under women’s names only 5.5% of total agricultural land is registered under women’s names   When we asked women about what kept them from registering land titles said:  “Women have countless barriers to overcome to get her land registered.”   She added that the barriers ranged from a lack of knowledge about the right to have land registered in her name to difficulties in paying notary fees An additional barrier is that a large percentage of women live for decades with their partners without legalizing their relationships 55% of the women interviewed in Bonito cohabitate with their partners without formalizing their relationships Not having marriage papers has left many women in very fragile situations in terms of land and claims to other shared assets  Dulcicleide from Bonito is an example of this After living together with her partner for more than 25 years   Most women – especially in the rural areas – receive their land through inheritance from their husbands When marriages and successions are not formally documented women find they have no legal claim to family assets after the deaths of their husbands or family members since gender bias is deeply rooted in Brazilian culture tend to favor men’s claims when successions are contested a farmer and mother of seven children from Bonito When Maria was younger and pregnant with her second child leaving her alone with no proof of their relationship their first daughter’s birth was also unregistered Maria went to a notary to get a birth certificate of her daughter and a certificate of her stable union But when she explained her situation to the notary he told her to “go to hell.”   Thankfully She made an appeal at the public ministry and received a formal permission she said:  “I went to hell [as you suggested] and I talked to the devil himself and he sent you this letter.”   Eventually she got her children registered and was able to claim her late partner’s pension Espaço Feminista has also documented an alarming trend – an increasing number of female-headed households with land insecurity   Women with low income and minimum education experience more difficulties in enforcing their land rights more of these women are becoming the heads of household our survey has revealed the correlation between low levels of education and women as the chief income earners (even in households with husbands or male partners) A high percentage of women heads of household have less than five years of education and are in low-income situations a young mother of three children from Jacaré gave us a simple and straightforward explanation for this phenomenon are responsible for the children and the well-being of elders They give up pride and take whatever work is offered This is because they know that at the end of the day The most challenging and complex issue to untangle may be the overlap between land and housing security and domestic violence   When we prepared our survey questionnaire we took great care to ask about domestic violence indirectly yet women in abusive relationships were still reluctant to reveal their situation.  We witnessed how often women unequivocally denied experiencing violence despite obvious evidence of it  DoCarmo from Caruaru told us how her father used to drink and beat her mother in front of their seven children and sexually abused her mother a man arrived at their small house and informed her mother that she had four hours to leave the house He told her that her husband had sold the house in exchange for a bottle of pitu (traditional alcohol) and a watch the mother and the children grabbed the very few items they had and fled before sunset They ended up staying in a barn on a nearby farm DoCarmo became a leader in the struggle for women’s land and housing rights – the right for a woman to have land in her name   To have land in her name means giving power back to women It means ensuring women have access to education and information It also means that they have to understand what is needed to register their partnerships and that barriers that keep women from claiming their inheritance must be removed   To have land in her name means women who are chief income earners can take better care of children and the elderly It also means women do not have to stay in abusive relationships because they lack independent access to shelter and livelihoods we are working to combine women’s empowerment and increasing women’s organizing power and capacity to overcome the

them to parishioners for potential adoption João Paulo Araujo Gomes, 51, has served in the Diocese of Caruaru since February 2013. According to a viral Reddit post and then presents a dog to each mass to be adopted." Allegedly dozens of stray dogs have been adopted due to Gomes according to a post in the "Made Me Smile" forum that has exceeded 108,000 upvotes Brazil is well-known for its colorful wildlife and Brazilians have shown a love of animals According to a World Animal Protection report from March 2020 Brazil had approximately 106 companion animals as of the end of 2013—which was the fourth-highest such population worldwide at that time and second when considering only dogs and cats it was also estimated that Brazil had about 52.2 million dogs and 22.1 million cats including a total population of approximately 30 million stray dogs and cats Stray animals drew attention around the time of the 2014 World Cup held in Brazil due to Brazilian authorities reportedly removing and killing them It led to the city of Rio removing about 900 strays from its streets the following year when Sao Paulo became the first Brazilian state to enact a law banning the killing of stray dogs and cats as a population control practice the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) citing 2019 data compiled by Shelter Animals Count said approximately 6.3 million animals enter U.S animal shelters annually—a decline from about 7.2 million in 2011 about 3.1 million are dogs and about 3.2 million are cats That includes about 920,000 shelter animals being euthanized annually with cats composing about 530,000 of those euthanizations The 920,000 figure is a major decrease from 2.6 million euthanizations in 2011 About 4.1 million shelter animals are adopted each year—a split between dogs and cats —and about 810,000 animals entered as strays are returned to owners Gomes' Facebook page features numerous posts about both dog and cat adoption as well as photos of dogs sleeping on the "icy floor in the middle of the heat in Caruaru" during prayer services Some photos also feature his own dogs sleeping in his bed "How often our love for animals is criticized as madness," Gomes wrote in a February 26 Facebook post "It's unfortunately common to hear: it's more important to like people There is no love for animals that does not translate into love for others Love will always be madness for hearts that only care about money I'm really happy to be crazy about life anyway." Another post from earlier that month stated that Gomes prays "for the suffering animals Redditors said Gomes' actions of bringing dogs to the church in an effort to get them placed into stable homes were lessons of compassion Some said this would provide an incentive to go to mass every Sunday This benefits the dogs and the community; a loyal four legged friend can help beat loneliness and a range of depression/anxiety related mental health problems The activity of taking a dog for a walk helps you keep healthy and just having a pet can help heal a broken heart And the dogs get the loving owners and families they deserve for giving these animals a chance to have a safe Gomes' known passion for animals extends beyond social media. He was featured in a season two episode of the Netflix series Dogs called The Protectors which documented his work and inspired local grassroots groups to emulate his mission Newsweek reached out to Gomes and the diocese for comment Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and finding connections in the search for common ground Newsletters in your inbox See all Armadillos. You probably know the little mammalian tanks as those things with armor that curl up into balls for defense (although only one of 22 varieties does this), or scurry across dirt paths in vague and sprawling nature videos But have you ever taken the time to sit back and give some thought to just how cute Dasypus and Chlamyphoridae look at this clip of an armadillo drinking water Let its little eager sips quench your thirst for cuteness: have you been rolled up in a ball or something?—is a municipality in Brazil and still have their most significant presence in that region Along with drinking water like a little thirsty pup with a weird armadillos also have a bunch of other cute stuff going for them: like the fact that armadillo means “little armored one” in Spanish or the fact that the epidermal scales that make up the armadillos’ armor are called “scutes.” Armadillos also have a very slim chance of infecting you with leprosy but this is a time for thinking about their cuteness watch this GIF of an armadillo getting a bath: What do you think about this cute little armadillo drinking water?
