Gabriel dos Santos Araujo is a giant of Paralympic swimming “My name is Gabrielzinho and I’m going for three gold medals at the Paris Paralympics,” the smiling 22-year-old Brazilian said before receiving a kiss on the forehead from Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at an official ceremony last month in Brasilia Gabrielzinho’s objective at the Paralympics is to upgrade from the two golds and one silver he won at the Tokyo Games three years ago When he is not doing laps in the pool at Juiz de Fora Gabrielzinho is nurturing his popularity on Instagram he navigates his phone screen with his toes and uses this same technique to manipulate the joystick on his video game console — his other great passion he bends over to grab the food with his mouth and then after meals he wedges an electric toothbrush between his toes to clean his teeth “I can’t count the number of obstacles I have to overcome every day His coach Fabio Pereira Antunes said he is a marvel “The first thing that impressed me was his dexterity outside the pool He has great motor coordination and is very intelligent which enables him to overcome all these obstacles on a daily basis,” Antunes said He has a champion’s mentality and knows how to handle pressure.” a condition that arrests the development of a baby’s limbs during pregnancy The Brazilian has shoulder stumps and his legs are atrophied

competition at the age of 13 “A teacher entered him without consulting me just after learning of the death of his grandfather and this huge blow came,” Gabrielzinho said he began his medal haul in Tokyo with a silver in the 100m backstroke S2 — one of the categories for the most severely handicapped swimmers “I took it to mean that he was just watching me from the most special place He then reached the top of the podium twice in the 50m backstroke and 200m freestyle S2 The swimmer’s goal in Paris is to defend his two Paralympic titles “turn his silver medal in the 100m backstroke into gold” and “dance a lot.” And he would be hoping to exhibit a new celebratory dance to his fans this summer as Gabrielzinho shared that he has come up with a new routine which he is keeping top secret

after being stabbed in the stomach during a campaign rally in Juiz de Fora The leading candidate in next month's presidential election in Brazil has been stabbed at a campaign rally and is reportedly in serious but stable condition following surgery a former army captain whose far-right views have placed him ahead in the polls was being carried on the shoulders of supporters in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais when he was attacked by someone in the crowd Supporters of Bolsonaro then descended on the assailant beating him before police were able to take the man into custody Video of the incident shows Bolsonaro giving a thumbs-up just before being stabbed He is then lowered and quickly bundled into a car Police say they have arrested a 40-year-old man identified as Adelio Obispo de Oliveria in connection with the stabbing Reuters quotes officials as saying the suspect appeared to be mentally disturbed doctors say it could take Bolsonaro up to two months to fully recover and that he would be in the hospital for at least a week — throwing the rest of the campaign into question "His internal wounds were grave and put the patient's life at risk," said Dr The doctor said the biggest challenge for medical staff would be preventing an abdominal infection Bolsonaro has sparked outrage among many in Brazil for his racist and homophobic comments on the campaign trail former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been disqualified from the race after being convicted of corruption Bolsonaro is well ahead of other presidential hopefuls in the opinion polls They include former Senator Marina Silva and Gerald Alckmin is a dramatic twist in what was already Brazil's most unpredictable election since the country's return to democracy three decades ago Corruption investigations have jailed scores of powerful businessmen and politicians in recent years Become an NPR sponsor In the Arisvaldo de Campos Pires maximum security penitentiary a Brazilian fashion designer who expanded her business with the help of inmates working in exchange for pay and reduced sentences Guimaraes came to the penitentiary in Arisvaldo de Campos Pires one of the highest security prisons in Brazil when she was having trouble finding knitters for her Doiselles brand of high fashion a few years ago She trained 18 prisoners sentenced for crimes ranging from armed robbery to murder Guimaraes now sells her creations around the country The prisoners who do the work not only receive extra money but also knock one day off their sentence for every three days spent knitting Guards escort Brazilian fashion designer Raquel Guimaraes into the Arisvaldo de Campos Pires maximum security penitentiary She supervises one of the inmates who knits for her She also teaches a prisoner to design clothing A tattooed prisoner works on one of Guimaraes' creations A prisoner runs his hand through lengths of yarn Inmates stand in the yard of the prison in Juiz de Fora about 100 miles (160 kms) north of Rio de Janeiro high-society blonde inside a maximum security prison But that’s just what I found in Juiz de Fora a medium-sized city in Brazil’s southeastern state of Minas Gerais began working with her mother to knit clothing in tricot They enjoyed success and with an increase in orders she needed more knitters That was when she decided to visit the Arisvaldo de Campos Pires maximum security penitentiary in Juiz de Fora she presented a proposal to the prison administration to train female inmates to produce her clothing they concluded that it would be more productive to work with male prisoners an idea that at first seemed a little bizarre and the question was whether men locked up for offences such as armed robbery drug trafficking and murder could learn to knit tricot This was the gamble that Guimaraes and Andires took 18 prisoners work to produce handmade knitted clothing And with that work they not only receive extra money but also reduce their sentences by one day for each three days spent knitting Guimaraes sells the creations under her Doiselles brand around Brazil When I reached the prison entrance to begin my story the guards immediately confiscated my cell phone Phones are prohibited inside Brazilian jails despite the fact that everyone knows many prisoners have them I was also prohibited from photographing the outside of the prison without special permission from the warden They explained to me that I could only photograph inside the room where the prisoners were knitting Three heavily-armed guards and two prison attorneys then escorted me inside to where the prisoners were knitting The guards announced my presence to the inmates saying that I was a journalist there to do a story about their work One attorney had a form with him for each prisoner to sign I introduced myself and asked if any would mind being photographed I spent two days taking pictures of the prisoners although the first day was cut short when the atmosphere inside the jail suddenly became tense It seemed to me like the beginning of a prison riot with inmates yelling and banging against the doors of their cells The guards watching over me asked me to leave quickly because they couldn’t guarantee my safety at that moment but on my way to the main gate I realised that this wasn’t going to be a riot that would make the news I would have tried anything to stay inside and cover it It turned out to be just a problem caused by an inmate who was ill and was requesting to be taken to the infirmary I was impressed by the solidarity between prisoners The support that they all gave to one sick companion worked to get the guards to attend to him quickly It was incredible to see her next to the inmates conversing with them and teaching them to knit and it was hard to believe that anyone in that cell had committed a crime serious enough to lock them in a maximum security penitentiary I finished my story with photos of the prisoners leaving the knitting room to be taken back to their own cells where they would be locked up or to the courtyard for a few minutes of what they called the “sunbath.” A guard quietly moved to my side and whispered not to stand too close to the doors or railings near the inmates He was afraid that I could be pulled away and taken hostage All I could think of was the contrast of that atmosphere with the one inside the knitting cell where the prisoners have a chance to socialise raise their self-esteem and hopefully return to society anew we’re wrapping up the challenging year of 2020 by celebrating the winners of the Jeffrey Sherman Life-Changers Award – a prestigious BD award that recognizes associates who are making a lasting impact on those around them both through what they do at work and outside of work we’ll be sharing stories about our five 2020 winners and the incredible impact they’re having on those around them we share the inspiring story of Life-Changers Award winner Marcelo Alves Lopes who works as a Quality Auditor for BD Medical – Medication Delivery Solutions in Juiz de Fora Marcelo’s nominators say he is a strong leader adept when it comes to engaging his BD colleagues and challenging them to drive continuous improvement in BD’s plant in Juiz de Fora always encouraging colleagues to keep their collective focus on compliance  Marcelo is also credited for significantly enhancing the sense of team and camaraderie among associates in Juiz de Flores by creating a BD running team that he’s led since 2012 which gives BD associates the opportunity to discover the benefits that fitness and sports can have on our ability to lead healthy lives Marcelo has played an integral leadership role in serving vulnerable populations in his community by mobilizing teams of BD volunteers to create inclusive community service and mentoring initiatives to serve local people who have intellectual disabilities When Marcelo learned that a local organization called “Educandário Carlos Chagas,” served adults with intellectual disabilities and was located just down the street from his BD plant he worked with the organization’s leadership to invite them to join his BD running group this interaction with BD volunteers equates to their only opportunity to encounter new environments and meet new people while also experiencing the benefits of participating in regular physical activity Marcelo also developed a group of external partners that provides safety logistics and other supports to ensure that all community members from “Educandário” who want to participate in the running group have all the resources they need to do so Seeing the many benefits that his friends from “Educandário” received from the integrated running group he created by mobilizing BD associates who participate in a dance group to spend one day per week leading dance classes at the school led by BD volunteers who were mobilized by Marcelo in front of thousands of people in Central Theater of Juiz de Fora Marcelo’s nominators say that it was a deeply emotional experience to see how much joy the experience brought to their friends from “Educandário.”   community members and community organizations through volunteerism Marcelo shows us how service to others can help us become better people better co-workers and better community members In honor of the life-changing impact Marcelo has on his colleagues at BD and the world around him BD is donating $5,000 to the non-profit organization of his choice: Educandário Carlos Chagas which provides an array of inclusion and life skills services to individuals with intellectual disabilities Stay tuned for more inspiring 2020 Life-Changer Award winner stories, like Marcelo’s, on the

power plant was built 180km north of Rio de Janeiro in the city of Juiz de Fora The world’s first commercial scale sugarcane-based ethanol power plant was built 180km north of Rio de Janeiro in the city of Juiz de Fora built and operated by the state-owned company Petrobras engineering and field support was provided by General Electric (GE) The Ethanol power plant came into commercial operation through the conversion of an 87MW natural gas-fired power plant situated in the Juiz de Fora thermal power generation park The power generation park has a total installed capacity of 7,028MW with 14 natural gas based 12 oil fuelled and 15 hydroelectric power plants The 87MW plant is now using sugarcane-derived ethanol to produce power enough to meet electricity needs of around 150,000 people in Juiz de Fora The power output of the plant is fed into Brazil’s electricity grid under a ten years power supply contract The thermoelectric plant which uses ethanol as its fuel source was originally based on a natural gas fired simple-cycle operation It was equipped with two GE LM6000 aero-derived combustion turbines Petrobras wanted to utilise ethanol in the plant in its bid to use alternate fuel sources for power generation It initiated a $25m project to convert one of the plant’s generating units (43.5MW) to an ethanol-fired unit involved replacing the combustion chambers and injector nozzles Peripheral equipment such as a receipt system pumps and filters were also installed as part of the conversion project incorporated the flex-fuel provision (option to use natural gas as well) due to energy security and reliability reasons GE was awarded another contract in October 2010 for the plant’s second turbine conversion after the first turbine was successfully converted for ethanol-based operation Demonstration testing of the ethanol fuelled Brazilian power plant The 11,233MW Belo Monte hydroelectric power plant is a hydropower project that will help Brazil meet its increasing energy needs Before commissioning the new ethanol power plant conducted a demonstration test to confirm the validity of ethanol as a fuel source for power generation and to observe the emission levels of such an operation The engine performance and environmental impact were evaluated in the first two phases while the performance of the equipment when running on ethanol was investigated and examined in the third phase The testing was completed in May 2010 and no difference was found in turbine performance with the use of ethanol Environmental benefits of ethanol-fired power generation The tests conducted at the ethanol-fired thermoelectric plant confirm lower CO2 emissions and water usage by the plant it was observed that the ethanol-fired plant emits 30% lesser nitrogen oxide (Nox) than a typical natural gas fired plant Ethanol-fired power plants not only contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions but also perform at par with a natural gas or diesel-fired plant Such a power plant also offers prospects of energy security as it uses ethanol derived from sugarcane Brazilian energy market and the prospects of ethanol Brazil had an installed capacity of 106GW in 2009 The total power consumption during the year was about 67.4GW with hydroelectricity accounting for 85% of it A plan is in place to double the power generation capacity by 2020 hydroelectric power generation cannot be solely relied on as it is highly seasonal Thermoelectric power generation from natural gas petroleum products and coal sources in the country totalled 3.2GW in 2009 Ethanol presents significant promise as a low-carbon alternative fuel for thermoelectric power generation in the country with the successful commissioning of the ethanol-fired power plant Brazil is the world’s largest exporter and second largest producer of ethanol It produced 26.9 billion litres of ethanol in 2008 Ethanol production in the country is based on large-scale sugarcane

factory Tuesday morning but federal police officers asked him to cancel the event out of security concerns the leftist launched his seventh bid for the presidency at a Volkswagen plant in Sao Bernardo do Campo a manufacturing city outside Sao Paulo where he rose to fame as a union leader in the 1970s Bolsonaro revisited the spot in the city of Juiz de Fora where he was stabbed by a mentally ill man on the campaign trail in 2018 He arrived on a motorcycle surrounded by security guards and wearing a bulletproof vest unlike in 2018 when he plunged unprotected into the throngs founder of political risk consultancy Dharma Politics said Lula’s visit to an auto plant was typical of Brazilian political symbolism evoking the nostalgia of his first presidential run in 1989 and hinting at his legacy De Souza added that he expected the candidates to attack one another more than present plans for voters “I want this election to end as soon as possible with Lula winning it so there’s less risk of violence and more talk about the future,” Vanderlei Claudio Bolsonaro’s return to the site of his stabbing is an attempt to invoke the same outsider profile that enabled the seven-term lawmaker to cruise to victory in 2018, said Mauricio Santoro, a political science professor at the State University of Rio de Janeiro. World & Nation authorities and voters about violence during Brazil’s presidential campaign and October election “For Bolsonaro, this is the image of himself as a rebel, anti-system candidate and the attack on his life is central to that narrative,” Santoro said the man who stabbed him was not a ‘lone wolf’ but part of a conspiracy of the political elite against Bolsonaro.” The race in Latin America’s largest democracy is a clash of titans with all other candidates lagging far behind Both have been publicly rallying supporters for months although they weren’t permitted by election authorities to ask for votes nor air ads no debates between Lula and Bolsonaro have been scheduled “It’s impossible not to be moved, returning to this city,” Bolsonaro told the crowd in Juiz de Fora, where people were patted down before being allowed past metal barriers to approach the president’s stage. “The memory that I carry with me is of a rebirth. My life was spared by our creator.” After his speech, Bolsonaro made a speedy exit standing on the bed of a truck, waving to the crowd while tightly encircled by security personnel. Ten months before the next presidential election Brazil is more polarized than at any point in recent memory Despite the 2018 attempt on Bolsonaro’s life, recent events have caused greater concern that his supporters could engage in attacks Bolsonaro backers surrounded Lula’s car to hurl verbal abuse earlier this year and in July one of them killed a local official of Lula’s Workers’ Party in the city of Foz de Iguaçu a drone sprayed a crowd of Lula supporters with a fetid liquid and at another last month a man detonated a homemade explosive containing feces The assailants in both cases were Bolsonaro supporters according to social media posts reviewed by the Associated Press “Lula canceled his first event due to security risks and that kind of thing has taken over all camps I don’t think Bolsonaro runs the same risk but he was stabbed last time,” said Carlos Melo a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo “These terrible events are now part of Brazil’s elections Bolsonaro is a staunch pro-gun advocate and has loosened restrictions, enabling his supporters to stock up on firearms and munitions. At the launch of his candidacy July 24, he asked supporters to swear that they would give their lives for freedom, and has repeatedly characterized the race as a battle between good and evil said at that same event that the presidential palace had been consecrated to demons before her husband assumed office In Sao Bernardo do Campo, Lula rattled off the Bolsonaro administration’s failings during the COVID-19 pandemic — which a Senate investigation found contributed to the world’s second-highest death toll — and then said Bolsonaro’s supporters frequently cite Lula’s 580 days of imprisonment after he was found guilty of corruption and money laundering Those convictions ejected Lula from the 2018 race and cleared the way for Bolsonaro They were first annulled on procedural grounds by the Supreme Court which later ruled that the judge had been biased and colluded with prosecutors Trailing in the polls, Bolsonaro, a former army captain, has sown concern that he could reject results if he loses the October vote. The far-right leader has raised unfounded doubts about the nation’s electronic voting system in use since 1996, notably in a meeting he called with foreign diplomats. His insistence elicited a reaction last week from hundreds of companies and more than a million Brazilians who signed a pair of letters demanding that the nation’s democratic institutions be respected. Evangelicals have become a major force in Brazilian politics They now make up 30% of the population — double their share two decades ago Human Rights Watch said Monday that the campaign “is likely to be a critical test for democracy and the rule of law in the country and in Latin America.” In the evening Tuesday, Lula and Bolsonaro met in the capital city of Brasilia at the inauguration of the new president of Brazil’s electoral court, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. He will oversee October’s vote and also chairs a probe into false news that has hit many allies of the president. Moraes is also a staunch supporter of the country’s electronic voting system. “We are the only democracy in the world that tallies and presents election results on the same day, with agility, security, competence, transparency. That’s a cause for national pride,” Moraes said before several applauding candidates and authorities. Bolsonaro, instead, stood still.

He has praised Gen Pinochet, expressed support for torturers and called for political opponents to be shot, earning him the label of "the most misogynistic hateful elected official in the democratic world”.  In his bid to capitalise on Latin America’s lurch to the right he paints himself as a tropical Donald Trump: a pro-gun anti-establishment crusader set on "draining the swamp" and cracking down on violent crime Bolsonaro has a devout following among some conservative voters who admire his promises to get tough on rampant violent crime and won 46% of the vote in the election's first round.  Photograph: Evaristo Sa/AFPWas this helpful?Thank you for your feedback.Santiago said attacks on high profile candidates were rare “In Brazil we don’t have the culture of this type of attack where someone can break through security and attack a candidate,” he said Jair Bolsonaro greets supporters as he gets a shoulder ride in Brasilia’s Ceilandia neighbourhood the day before the attack Photograph: Eraldo Peres/APAnalysts said the incident could feed Bolsonaro’s narrative that Brazil is in chaos and needs a firm hand to steady it a professor of political science at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro said the attack would further polarise the election campaign Augusto Heleno, a retired military general and ally of Bolsonaro, described the attack as “an act of barbarity that hurts democracy”, and said Bolsonaro might not be able to continue his intense campaigning rhythm. “He has to recover, the consequences were serious,” Heleno said. “He will not be able to campaign in the way he has been doing, in the arms of the people, on top of sound trucks, it will be difficult in the short term.” Bolsonaro’s political rivals were also quick to denounce the attack. Fernando Haddad, who is likely to replace Lula as the Workers party presidential candidate, said the stabbing was a “shame” and a “horror”. an environmentalist and centrist candidate said: “The violence against the candidate Jair Bolsonaro is inadmissible and is a double attack: against his physical integrity and against democracy.” sparked anger when she suggested that Bolsonaro’s extremist views could have provoked the attack you harvest thunderstorms,” she said in an interview with the Folha de S Paulo newspaper During the Congress session that began Rousseff’s 2016 impeachment proceedings, Bolsonaro dedicated his vote in favour of her suspension to a notorious dictatorship-era torturer Rousseff was a member of the armed resistance to military rule and was herself tortured Bolsonaro recently said that members of her Workers’ party should be shot Former Syracuse 7-footer and Boston Celtics first-round pick Fab Melo died in his home country of Brazil Melo was found dead at his home in Juiz de Fora Melo went to bed on Friday night and was found dead Saturday morning by his mother the medical legal institute of Juiz de Fora in Brazil confirmed on Monday The 26-year-old Fab Melo had been playing professionally in Brazil. Howard Smith/USA TODAY Sports"It's so hard right now and it's not fair that he will be defined by one thing: a 10-page paper," a shaken Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim told ESPN "He worked his tail off to become a really good player and was a nice kid NCAA's investigation of Syracuse academic program included the legitimacy of a paper that Melo wrote while at school.

All rights reserved Brazil's state-owned company Petrobras launched the world's first ethanol-fired power plant approximately 180km north of Rio de Janeiro the plant generates electricity on a commercial scale using sugar cane-derived ethanol The plant has an installed capacity of 87MW which is enough to power a city of 150,000 inhabitants It is connected to Brazil’s electricity grid and has power supply contracts for the next ten years The plant is a simple-cycle, natural gas-type equipped with two GE LM6000 aero-derived combustion turbines and Alstom generators one of the 43.5MW-powered combustors was converted by GE Following the successful commissioning of the first turbine conversion Petrobras awarded GE another contract in October 2010 to convert the second turbine of the plant The turbine conversion involved replacing combustion chambers and injector nozzles along with installing peripheral equipment The dual fuel feature improved the plant’s energy security and reliability A five-month demonstration test was conducted by Petrobras under an agreement with GE to validate ethanol as an alternative source of fuel and confirm that emission levels are within expected limits The demonstration was carried out in three phases The first and second phases evaluated engine performance and environmental impact In the third phase the performance of the equipment when running on ethanol was investigated and examined The test results revealed no difference in turbine performance the plant demonstrated significantly lower CO2 emissions and water usage Between 31 December 2009 and 13 January 2010 the plant demonstrated a 30% reduction in nitrogen oxide (Nox) emissions within 150 hours of power generation with ethanol In comparison with natural gas and diesel-fired plants the plant releases lower Nox levels without lowering its power generating capacity the Centre for Natural Gas and Renewable Energies Technologies installed a monitoring station in the Juiz de Fora thermal power generation park The park has an installed capacity of 7,028MW In 2009, Brazil had 106GW of installed power capacity The power requirements of the country are met primarily through hydroelectricity the total electric power consumption was around 67.4GW approximately 85% of which was met through hydroelectricity In order to meet its growing electricity requirements by 2020 Brazil will have to increase its electricity generation capacity by 50% The hydroelectric power generation system in Brazil is highly seasonal and results in frequent blackouts Thermoelectric power generation is used as a backup during the summer approximately 3.2GW of electricity was generated by thermoelectric power plants Typical thermal generating sources include natural gas Ethanol is an emerging low-carbon alternative of electricity generation in Brazil which is the second-largest ethanol producer in the world Brazil produced 26.9 billion litres of ethanol The country initiated the use of ethanol as a substitute for automobile fuel in the 1970s when it established the Proalcool programme One of the most dynamic emerging economies of recent years Brazil has

Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) will host 14 students and one professor from Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) for an immersion program lasting approximately one month The visit of the group marks the debut of the Program in Learning and Experience of Nature in the Tropics (Planet) created by UFJF and funded by the British government One of the goals is to annually receive members from universities in the United Kingdom for a short period between July and August The experience obtained from this first edition of Planet may encourage the expansion of the project to other partner institutions During the four weeks, the students will participate in the Global July program another internationalization program at UFJF which offers short-term courses taught in foreign languages They will also visit cultural and tourist sites in Juiz de Fora cities located in the state of Minas Gerais The group will also take part in art workshops The itinerary and arrangements for the visits are being organized and executed by the junior company of the Tourism undergraduate program at UFJF and exciting,” anticipates Professor Will Swaney from LJMU who will accompany the students during the first week of their stay “In addition to contributing to UFJF’s international projection the arrival of this group exposes our students to other ways of experiencing and understanding these activities through the eyes of a visitor,” explains Hugo Rocha Manager of Cooperation Agreements and Incoming Mobility at UFJF International Office coming from ten different courses such as Architecture a student of Geographical and Environmental Studies says that the country has always been a dream destination “The vast contrast between the environment and surroundings of the UK and Brazil particularly gravitates me towards visiting Brazil  In addition to exploring the rich culture Juiz de Fora and Brazil have to offer whilst meeting many new people along the way,” lists Cusick The visitors will also be accompanied by UFJF students selected by the Buddy Project which has been helping integrate and assist international students with daily life issues for about 8 years in partnership with the International Office It is an opportunity for both parties to exchange experiences This aspect particularly interested Cusick for a better immersion in the local culture “I also expect to thoroughly enjoy the Global July programme as it covers many diverse topics including biological and health sciences..” “By hosting the 14 LJMU students for a short period at UFJF we open up the possibility of more spots for our students in the United Kingdom we create an international atmosphere and promote intercultural dialogue on campus regardless of international travel,” emphasizes Hugo Rocha Professor Swaney also aims to expand connections between the two institutions with this visit a meeting will be held with UFJF faculty interested in cooperating with Liverpool John Moores University The meeting is open to any UFJF faculty member who wishes to learn about partnership opportunities “One of the biggest challenges of South-North cooperation agreements is keeping balance in mobility because we always have many Brazilian students interested in studying abroad in the Northern Hemisphere and few British students willing to spend time studying in Brazil either due to lack of language proficiency or other reasons the Global July program has proven to be the perfect tool to promote this balance we have the potential to bring the entire world to UFJF’s campus,” explains Hugo Rocha Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a private institution founded 200 years ago in 1823 as a mechanics school It has approximately 25,000 undergraduate students in 330 courses as well as 180 options for postgraduate studies Prominent alumni include former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed and Olympic medalist in artistic gymnastics Beth Tweddle The partnership with LJMU arose from the contact between the International Office (DRI) and the former employee of the same department at the British university Guro participated in various volunteer projects One of her most memorable experiences was in Salinas Brazil which inspired her to contact UFJF in 2019 to provide a similar experience to LJMU students With the support of UFJF’s Offices of Graduate Studies and Research the International Office drafted a four-week program of immersion in education and culture in the surroundings of Juiz de Fora aligned with Guro’s expectations of exposing students with life in the

in the QS World University Rankings. In the 2023 edition, which included over 1,400 higher education institutions worldwide, only 35 were from Brazil, and UFJF is listed as the 18th best university in the country. When considering only institutions in the state of Minas Gerais, UFJF ranks second. The rankings, released in June, area released annually and are one of the main sources of assessment of higher education. The global higher education consultancy QS Quacquarelli Symonds evaluated 2,963 institutions from 104 countries. According to Michele Farage, the Director of Institutional Assessment at UFJF, this is a significant recognition, particularly because it stems from research conducted by an independent institute, for which UFJF does not take any direct actions. “This result aligns with the recent official evaluation in which the commission from the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep) of the Ministry of Education (MEC) awarded UFJF the highest rating” Brazilian parents are still searching for answers a year after their daughter underwent a jaw operation and was left in a vegetative state. Larissa Moraes had dreams of becoming a doctor, but those dreams were dashed on March 16, 2023 when underwent orthognathic surgery, which involves correcting the positioning of the upper jaw and lower jaw. The 31-year-old had the operation based on the recommendation made by dentists who had treated her since she was a child, her father, Ricardo Moraes, told G1 news outlet. She spoke with her medical school professors and did research on surgeons before she decided to have the surgery at Santa Casa de Misericórdia in the southeastern city of Juiz de Fora. Ricardo Moraes said she came out the surgery not feeling well and went into cardiac arrest. He recalled watching helplessly as Larissa Moraes was taken out of the operating room and to another her room. 'Her eye was turned, but I thought it was normal, due to the surgery,' Ricardo Moraes said. 'I walked ahead, so I could open the bedroom door for them to come in, but I couldn't go in because they asked me to stay outside.' He saw other medical staff walking into the room and decided to seek an update on Larissa Moraes' condition when he noticed one of the physicians massaging her heart. 'Then the nurse came to reassure me that she was fine, her heartbeat had already returned,' he said. Larissa Moraes remained under watch in the intensive care unit for a month after she developed pneumonia and a urinary infection. She remained in her hospital room until March, when she was finally sent home. The family has so far spent $52,000 to ensure that she that nurses observe her around the clock. 'We have nurses 24 hours a day, she needs to undergo physiotherapy and speech therapy every day, she is fed and medicated through a tube,' Ricardo Moraes said. 'She also does not have control over her physiological needs and needs to wear a diaper.' The Minas Gerais Public Ministry opened an investigation in September 2023 after the Civil Police collected statements from the parties involved, including the surgeon and the anesthetist. Larissa Moraes' parents attempted to schedule meetings with the staff at Santa Casa de Misericórdia and were repeatedly rebuffed. 'I tried to schedule a meeting with the hospital to understand what happened, they canceled and rescheduled. I asked for camera images to find out what had happened, but they didn't give it to me', Ricardo Moraes said. The family grew tired of being stonewalled by the medical facility and hired two private medical experts, who found that it was hard to determine if the surgical team had followed all of the necessary steps to carry out the jaw operation. The investigative report found that 'failures were evident at different points in the hospital medical care provided, from anesthetic monitoring to post-CA (cardiorespiratory arrest) care, which contributed to the neurological outcome observed'. Ricardo Moraes recalled Larissa Mores growing up as being dependent and 'doing everything in her own way, not in a disobedient way, but she knew how to convince us to do everything she wanted.' Now he and his wife are tasked with making sure that her needs are taken care of. Larissa Moraes received her pharmacy degree from the Juiz de Fora Federal University and was in the beginning stage of medical school at Rio de Janeiro State University prior to the uneventful surgery. 'She really liked research, learning a lot of new things,' Ricardo Moraes said. 'So she always said that she was interested in something new that she was studying.'

candidate Jair Bolsonaro was stabbed in the stomach on Thursday during a campaign event in Juiz de Fora He was being carried by one of his bodyguards when the attack happened and was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery for injuries to his intestines Psychoanalyst Maria Rita Kehl bemoaned the attack “A hate preacher received a hate response.” The assaulter was surrounded by Bolsonaro supporters and immediately arrested and taken to a local police station Police officers said it was an isolated attack by an individual who disagrees with the ideas advocated by the far-right presidential candidate Bolsonaro is infamously known for his bigoted views on women and people of color and his outspoken attacks on people’s movements such as the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) and the Homeless Workers’ Movement (MTST) they would “kill them all,” referring to Workers’ Party supporters and leftists in general One of his main campaign platforms is loosening gun restrictions so that civilians can take crime fighting into their own hands and big farmers can attack rural movements Bolsonaro has been rising as the most prominent far-right name in the presidential race since Brazil’s last election in 2014, and his pro-violence views are in tune with the rise of violence in the country's political landscape In April this year, the brutal murder of Rio de Janeiro councilwoman and human rights activist Mariellle Franco shocked the country She was shot to death next to driver Anderson Gomes in his car when she was coming home from a political event with black women While there is strong suspicion that paramilitary groups are involved the police still haven’t found the shooters or who ordered it Earlier, in March, ex-president Luiz Inácio

in 2017 by the International Relations Department (DRI) of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) the Global July Program brings together students and teachers from all over the world in Juiz de Fora for free courses in all areas of knowledge – Exact Sciences With the partnership of the Postgraduate and Research (Propp) and Undergraduate (Prograd) Pro-rectories the program places UFJF as an interesting destination in Brazil for vacation courses in addition to strengthening the internationalization of the University attracting foreign students and teachers and enabling new partnerships a scientific outreach complex with a planetarium The building has more than three thousand square meters and capacity to receive over 700 people expanding knowledge beyond the walls of the University The place is one of the largest centers of scientific communication in the state of Minas Gerais and is also home to the largest didactic study center in Astronomy in Brazil state-of-the-art equipment and is open to both the academic community and the nation’s citizens “The project has grown beyond our expectations and has become UFJF’s largest internationalization program With courses at undergraduate and graduate level it is possible to count on the same number of foreign guests and teachers of the house” says the director of the International Office professor Barbara Daibert.Uruguayan professor Matias Rafael Navarrete taught the course “History of Economic Thought” in 2018 and sees the event as one of the few opportunities to meet professorsfrom different areas and countries “In addition to the specific tasks that each professor performs during the event this is an important opportunity to make contacts that may eventually end in future academic collaborations that transcend the specific goal of Global July it is also an important opportunity to make and strengthen the bonds between universities In the case of Uruguay and the Universidad de la República agreements could be signed with several departmentsfrom the contact generated in the Global July” One of the offered courses is Portuguese for Foreigners which introduces foreign students to the fundamentals of the Portuguese language based on a variety of inputs so that they become familiar with the language while they experience the community inside and outside UFJF The Portuguese for Foreigners course is offered to students of different nationalities since 1980 at the UFJF an expansion allowed the participation of more students from the university as well as foreigners from the external community implementing new ways of working and training new teachers to carry out these activities “Portuguese for Foreigners is the only place where the teacher speaks Portuguese and works as a meeting point for foreigners of different nationalities Global July opens windows for the world to know the UFJF and the work developed here The activities of the College of Liberal Arts leave the department and gain an institutional scope Many students come to the course and decide to stay here Others return to undergraduate or graduate courses” coordinator of the area of ​​Portuguese for Foreigners which supports the demands of everyday life in the city and in the university as well as to promote meetings and cultural trips The Argentine student Azul Borga studies Psychology at Universidade Nacional de Córdoba and considered the reception of the students a differential for those who come from other countries All the people who welcomed me were very friendly and very attentive to anything I needed I learned the language through the lessons but also with the peerswho always had a lot of patience which allowed me to make friends from all over the world Coming to Brazil was my first trip alone and all the personal growth made Global July one of the best experiences of my life.” Italian vising professor Elena Pagni is UFJF and taught for the first time in 2018 interculturality and interdisciplinarity are the main pillars of Global July “The event happens in a period of school recess which allows the meeting and the approach of all students and

opportunity to practice and listen to a fluent person talking about the topic” this is also a chance to explore the interdisciplinarity of the event “It’s an opportunity to learn a lot about your studying area which takes you out of the routine and allows you to go further.” Brazil — Brazil’s presidential campaign was thrown into chaos on Friday as the far-right front-runner was in serious condition after he was stabbed at a rally raising fears of increased violence in the wide-open race.Congressman Bolsonaro has angered many Brazilians by saying he would encourage police to ramp up their killing of suspected drug gang members and armed criminals but he has a devoted following among conservative voters.He could need two months to fully recover from Thursday’s attack and will spend at least a week in the hospital doctors said.Bolsonaro was flown from Juiz de Fora in Minas Gerais state Friday morning and is now in the Sirio Libanes hospital in Sao Paulo said the internal wounds were “grave” and “put the patient’s life at risk” but that he was stable early Friday Doctors were worried about an infection since Bolsonaro’s intestines were perforated he added.The knife reached 12 cm (4.7 inches) inside his abdomen and the candidate lost 2 liters (4.2 pints) of blood fears of a flare-up in violence following the stabbing cast a shadow over brazil on Friday as the nation celebrated Independence Day with political rallies expected in hundreds of cities.Bolsonaro leads polling scenarios for the first-round vote on Oct but loses to most rivals in simulated run-off votes 28 if no candidate wins a majority in the first balloting.Some analysts forecast that Bolsonaro could get a boost from the attack a gruesome example of the violence he rails against especially as support for his leftists rivals is split among three candidates.Others question if a such a polemical politician will gain any sympathy from voters who do not already back him.Speaking from his hospital bed in Juiz de Fora in an online video the retired Army captain compared the pain at first to being hit by the ball in a soccer game.“It was intolerable and it seemed like maybe something worse was happening,” he said raspy voice with a tube in his nose and monitors beeping nearby is a twist in what was already brazil’s most unpredictable election since the country’s return to democracy three decades ago Scores of businessmen and politicians have been jailed in corruption investigations in recent years and alienated voters.Imprisoned former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva would easily win the election but he was barred from running because of his corruption conviction scattering voter support among five main candidates.Rival candidates called off campaign activities for Friday.“I just want to send a message to the thugs who tried to ruin the life of a family man a guy who is the hope for millions of Brazilians: You just elected him president He will win in the first round,” Flavio Bolsonaro said on Friday.His campaign could be hampered by not being able to hold street rallies Bolsonaro’s tiny coalition has almost no campaign time on government-regulated candidate commercial blocs on television and radio He must rely on social media and rallies around the country to drum up support.Bolsonaro is running as the law-and-order candidate and has positioned himself as the anti-politician though he has spent nearly three decades in Congress.He has long espoused taking a radical stance on public security in brazil which has more homicides than any other country according to United Nations statistics.Bolsonaro whose trademark pose at rallies is a “guns up” gesture holding both hands like pistols has said he would encourage police to kill suspected drug gang members and other armed criminals with abandon.He has openly praised Brazil’s military dictatorship and in the past said it should have killed more people.Bolsonaro faces trial before the Supreme Court for speech that prosecutors said incited hate and rape He has called the charges politically motivated.His stabbing is the latest instance of political violence which is particularly rampant at the local level a Rio city councilwoman who was an outspoken critic of police violence against slum residents was assassinated.Police video taken at a precinct and aired by TV Globo showed suspect Adelio Bispo de Oliveira telling police he had been ordered by God to carry out the attack.One supporter camped outside Bolsonaro’s hospital room who is running for a Minas Gerais state congressional seat on Bolsonaro’s Social Liberal Party he would lynch the suspect.“They call us on the right the intolerant but those who are intolerant and violent are them,” Engler said The requested content cannot be loaded.Please try again later The first days of August witnessed the gathering of nations in Juiz de Fora were received for a semester of study

Cidade (“Our City”), from TheCityFix Brasil explores critical questions for building more sustainable cities Leaning on the expertise of researchers and specialists at EMBARQ Brasil the series will feature in depth articles on urban planning and other key themes for sparking more sustainable development in our cities To walk in our cities is more than just a simple act of transport Walking represents an appropriation of urban space for daily life It means being an active part of the urban environment by learning understanding and shaping the city on a personal level Walking is one of the most democratic and equitable ways of getting around but it’s also one of the ways most linked to factors outside an individual’s control like social or physical abilities and the presence of infrastructure to walk comfortably and safely These are the factors that define walkability and efficient it is to walk in an urban environment Walkability has a direct impact on urban residents’ mobility as the term is often used to communicate how likely the average person is to choose walking over other modes of transport in a given area Here’s how these five cities have been working to encourage travel by foot and improve the daily lives of urban residents Helsinki’s development plan sets a goal for residents to make all daily trips on foot or by bike by 2050 commerce and school close enough to one another to make daily travel on foot or by bicycle viable One of Copenhagen’s exclusively pedestrian zones Anticipating the future of sustainable mobility, Copenhagen first created areas exclusive to pedestrians in the 1960s. Today, the city is famous for its bicycle network, and the many pedestrian areas scattered throughout the city are connected by a variety of different modes of transport. Guided by the work of Jan Gehl Copenhagen’s transformation represents a shift in understanding—a recognition that enhancing pedestrian paths for walking and active transport can be one of the first steps to improving mobility and building a better city for people Because walkability has been a priority of Zurich since the mid-1990s 34 percent of trips in the city are currently made on foot or by bike The document established that no new parking spaces could be built in the city unless they replaced old ones—limiting the use of cars in urban areas building parking lots has taken place mostly underground as ground-level space has been designated for creating parks the Green Network will connect green public spaces in the city and encourage active transport showing that large cities can be walkable and designed for people Amsterdam has achieved strong active transport by setting speed limits on most city roads and designating certain areas as car-free Amsterdam moves at the pace of a bike. In most areas of the city, speed limits barely reach 30 km/h, giving priority to people and active transport. While walking is somewhat on the decline in the city due to more and more people cycling the city is working to balance this with new investments in walkability Amsterdam is currently developing new public spaces that will have two features: 1) a low speed limit creates equitable conditions for all modes of transport; and 2) segregated tracks between modes ensuring that pedestrians are not restructured to isolated sidewalks This article was originally published in Portuguese at TheCityFix Brasil 2024 Luciano Cruz Juiz De Fora Pro Results The 2024 Luciano Cruz Juiz De Fora Pro was held on November 30 in Juiz de Fora which served as a qualifying contest for the 2025 Mr Competitors are gearing up for the next bodybuilding season, but before that begins, there were a few more chances for athletes to guarantee their passage to the sport’s greatest event of the year.
