Photograph: museu_izidoroarmacollo/Instagram“Brazilian horror story,” gasped one of the numerous Twitter users discombobulated by the models Word of the collection – which reminded some of Spain’s jaw-dropping botched restorations – soon spread Journalists from leading news outlets in Brazil and beyond pursued the previously unknown artist for a reaction to his newfound fame “I couldn’t care less [about the criticism],” Armacollo told the Guardian on Tuesday as he was flooded with interview requests and invitations for television appearances he planned to decline “If it was about making money it might bother me whether people appreciated what I was doing or not But I do the things I do because I enjoy them which each involve about 5kg of wax and imported English eyeballs have moved since their 2015 television debut and are now housed in a nearby museum named after his father Princess Diana has been joined by newer sculptures including a similarly peculiar portrayal of the Queen Like many in south Brazil Armacollo is a supporter of Jair Bolsonaro and had considered honouring the right-wing populist president with his wax “But then I thought: ‘I’m going to hold off for a bit to keep an eye on his behaviour.’ For now I’m still behind him and think he’s on the right path – but let’s wait a bit more to see to see if that solidifies.” Nelson Mandela: ‘a beefcake’s body a tiny head and dazzling peroxide hair’ Photograph: UnitTV/TwitterThe artist scoffed at the idea of celebrating Bolsonaro’s leftwing rival the former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva are you?” he asked this reporter with a mistrustful laugh Politics aside, Armacollo hoped “all this commotion” would attract tourists from other cities and abroad. A similar museum in Norfolk achieved cult status as “the world’s worst waxworks”, drawing thousands of visitors with its un-lifelike lifelikes. Armacollo’s only regret was the reaction of his teenager granddaughter, left distraught by the mocking of her grandfather’s mannequins. “She’s very sensitive. She even cried,” the artist admitted, “but now she’s laughing about it too.” report that heavy rain between 09 and 12 January has caused widespread flooding in 49 municipalities of the state The heavy rain has also caused several landslides in 5 municipalities the floods have affected over 150,000 people and forced over 2,000 to evacuate their homes Five people have been injured and one is missing Defesa Civil do Paraná say that 74 homes have been completely destroyed A landslide in Campo Largo affected 405 people and displaced five Landslides were also reported in Campina Grande do Sul Over 90,000 of those affected are in Arapongas municipality near the city of Londrina in the north of the state of Paraná Only 25 people have been displaced however Over 9,000 homes have been damaged and 50 destroyed 36,240 people have been affected by the flooding in Rolândia Over 1,700 have been affected by floods in Londrina with 337 homes damaged and 50 people displaced Londrina recorded 180 mm of rain in 24 hours between 11 and 12 January 2016 and 91 mm the day before visited some of the affected areas on 14 January 2016 to see the damage for himself including the destroyed broad bridge across the Rio Parapó between Iguaraçu and Maringá Flooding affected wide areas of Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil in late December 2015 after a period of heavy rain As many 2,000 families (around 9,000 people) were forced to evacuate in 12 municipalities including Uruguaiana Civil defence authority in Rio Grande do Sul said earlier this week that 56 municipalities suffered damage with the remainder under evaluation and proof of damage Several rivers in the state have overflowed in particular the Uruguay River in Uruguaiana municipality According to the latest reports from Rio Grande do Sul civil defence river levels were at 11.18 metres on 27 December which is over 3 metres above alert levels and over 6 metres above normal levels More photos of the flood damage in Paraná state Richard Davies is the founder of floodlist.com and reports on flooding news Cookies | Privacy | Contacts © Copyright 2025 FloodList This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Arlington, Va. — The Air & Space Forces Association and the German Air Force Association (Interessengemeinschaft Deutsche Luftwaffe e.V.) signed a formal memorandum of understanding to work together to amplify awareness about allied air power and the important roles each organization plays in advancing dialog about the security of their respective countries.  (Ret.)

so young That was the message Monday from Wesaw’s sister and daughter at the sentencing of the man who killed him last July pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder and was sentenced Monday to 43 to 65 years in prison including one count of first-degree murder Russell shot 13 times into a group of people outside the Beeson Street Bar in downtown Dowagiac in the early morning hours of July 29 Russell got into an altercation with Michael and Sherman Smith prior to the shooting He grabbed an AK-47 out of his truck and unsuccessfully tried to shoot it He then ran across the street to a gas station where he took the safety off the gun and started firing at the Smiths and others He fled the scene but was arrested by police a short time later Wesaw’s sister and daughter spoke before the sentencing said she couldn’t believe the news when she heard that her brother had been shot “It hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw my baby brother’s body lying on the ground,” she said “I felt like I was in a dream … Every day is a struggle said she feels sadness and anger and that grief has taken over her family Russell apologized to Wesaw’s family and friends more than two dozen of whom crowded into the courtroom “I want you to know that I’m truly sorry … not a day goes by where I don’t cry,” he said “I know you’ll probably hate me forever and I understand “You admitted this was reckless behavior,” Cass Circuit Judge Mark Herman told Russell It also concerned me that after you fled the first time you didn’t have to fire … This was a senseless crime committed for no reason your family’s lives and his family’s lives.” Herman said he was impressed that he did not hear hatred from Wesaw’s family they only wanted to make sure you did not hurt anyone again,” he said they

BRL 1 billion (USD 200,000) were invested in the project The industrial complex employes 4,500 people and will allow Seara to advance its expansion strategy into value-added products particularly in chicken breaded products and hot dog segments The new plants will be Seara’s most automated in Brazil and are part of the investment plan announced by JBS back in 2019 in the total amount of BRL 8 billion (USD 1.6 billion) “The delivery of the complex expansion is quite relevant for the business of JBS and Seara in Brazil and elsewhere Not only because it’s now one of the most modern complexes in Brazil but because it represents still another step towards the successful strategy of long-term investments in our multiprotein platform that is very focused on high value-added foods we want to

Brazilian Chamber of Commerce Its goal is to promote communication between Brazilians and Arabs The University of Missouri released a statement Sunday saying university police have turned over to municipal police names and information about the alleged rape of former Tigers swimmer Sasha Menu Courey "Outside the Lines" on Friday published a story detailing how the university had not told law enforcement officials about the alleged rape possibly by one or more members of its football team despite administrators finding out about the alleged 2010 incident more than a year ago Missouri said its university police department acted Saturday night because of new names and information in the story and that "it was determined that the alleged assault occurred off campus and therefore lies within the jurisdiction of [the Columbia Police Department] The university will assist CPD in any way possible as they conduct their investigation." A spokesperson for Columbia police could not be reached for comment Sunday morning Later Sunday, university system president Timothy Wolfe sent a letter to chancellors asking "the board of curators to hire outside independent counsel to conduct an investigation of MU's handling of matters related to Ms "Such an independent review will be beneficial to all our campuses so that we can determine if there were any shortcomings with respect to MU's handling of this matter and ways in which to improve the handling of such matters in the future," Wolfe wrote "Outside the Lines" reported that for most of 2010 Missouri swimmer Sasha Menu Courey harbored a secret: She believed she'd been raped by a football player Menu Courey began to share her secret with others including a rape crisis counselor and a campus therapist an athletic department administrator also learned of her claim that she had been assaulted The administrator denied to "Outside the Lines" that Menu Courey had told her she was assaulted Healthcare providers are generally exempt from requirements to report such crimes and also are bound by medical privacy laws But those same protections do not extend to campus administrators who at Missouri were made aware of claims that Menu Courey had been raped through several sources including a 2012 newspaper article as well as the university's review of records when fulfilling separate records requests by her parents and "Outside the Lines." Missouri said it had not acted previously "because there was no complaint brought forward from the alleged victim or her parents and there was otherwise insufficient information about the incident Privacy laws prohibited MU medical personnel from reporting anything Sasha might have shared with them about the alleged assault without her permission." once a school knows or reasonably should know of possible sexual violence it must take immediate and appropriate action to investigate or otherwise determine what happened The law applies even after the death of an alleged victim the federal Clery Act requires campus officials with responsibility for student or campus activities to report serious incidents of crime to police for investigation and possible inclusion in campus crime statistics Among the thousands of pages of documents gathered by Missouri administrators in late 2012 in response to a records request was a December 2010 online chat transcript between Menu Courey and a rape crisis counselor that had been saved in Menu Courey's university email folder the former top swim recruit describes an assault after having consensual sex with an unidentified man Another document discovered by a university hospital administrator shows Menu Courey had told a campus nurse and doctor in 2011 that she had been raped by a football player in February 2010 Menu Courey committed suicide in June 2011 The incident has not been reported to campus police City police and the Boone County prosecutor's office say they also have not received any reports Former Missouri football receiver Rolandis Woodland alleges that more than one of his teammates raped her. Courtesy of Lynn CoureyOn Thursday after being shown medical records by "Outside the Lines," Chad Moller was honoring what it believes were the wishes of Menu Courey "An important consideration in deciding how to address a report of a sexual incident is to determine what the alleged victim wants," Moller wrote in an email it is clear that Sasha chose not to report this incident to anyone at MU other than mentioning it to healthcare providers who were bound to respect her privacy." At least one expert told "Outside the Lines" Friday evening that Missouri was on sufficient notice to investigate "At the point that the university's administrators had notice of the alleged rape[s] based on the potential harm that the alleged rapists posed and pose to the university community," said Brett Sokolow executive director of the Association of Title IX Administrators "Title IX obligates universities to these actions and to efforts to remedy the effects of the acts for the victim and the community "Their whole line about it being contrary to her wishes is bunk They were obligated to do so when they had notice "Outside the Lines" also reported Friday that Menu Courey shared with at least one other person details of the alleged assault former Missouri wide receiver Rolandis Woodland said he has seen a videotape of the alleged incident that corroborates the basics of what she told medical officials and that three other Missouri football players actually were involved In a second release Sunday Missouri took exception with reporting by "Outside the Lines" and stood by its actions over the past three years "We continue to believe that the university did the right thing in trying to be respectful of Sasha's parents and determine their wishes We think it is strange and inappropriate for the university to be criticized for not undertaking an investigation when Sasha's parents chose not to respond to our request for their input they simply could have responded or made a report to law enforcement it appears that great lengths have been taken to paint the university in a bad light simply because it asked Sasha's parents about their wishes rather than immediately launching an investigation based on a highly ambiguous chat transcript." Menu Courey's parents told "Outside the Lines" for Friday's story that they did not respond to Missouri officials because they had lost faith over time and did not feel it was their job to investigate the matter as they had no access to documents they doubted university's officials' sincerity because it took three months for the university to give them a copy of Menu Courey's online chat transcript with the rape crisis counselor The university discovered it in late 2012 but provided it three months later Nicole Noren is a producer for ESPN's Enterprise/Investigative Unit and can be reached at Nicole.K.Noren@espn.com Scarier than any episode of The Crown  While there's nothing we love more than a beautiful design or artwork there'll always be a time and a place for shockers And the perfect distraction from the eternal heaviness of the news right now has arrived in the form of a little-known Brazilian waxwork museum – which is currently sending the internet into meltdown.  and feature "imported English eyeballs" (nice) But perhaps the best part of the story is that Armacollo is standing by his designs “I couldn’t care less [about the criticism],” he told the Guardian this week as he was flooded with interview requests “If it was about making money it might bother me whether people appreciated what I was doing or not we can't be certain we won't be encountering a few of Armacollo's wax figures in our nightmares tonight.  Thank you for reading 5 articles this month* Join now for unlimited access Enjoy your first month for just £1 / $1 / €1 *Read 5 free articles per month without a subscription Try first month for just £1 / $1 / €1 VOV Reporter: Welcome to our show, Gabriela Drobota. Could you please introduce a little bit about yourself to VOV audience? VOV Reporter: Thank you for joining us. How do you describe Romanian culture and traditions? VOV Reporter: Romania’s special folk arts are so adorable. What about the Romanian language? Gabriela Drobota: While many perhaps expect Romanians – due to the country’s location in Eastern Europe – to speak a Slavic language, unlike their neighbours, they actually speak a Romance language. Romanian is similar to French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, although in terms of vocabulary, it does include a lot of Slavic words. For instance, Romanians say da for ‘yes’. However, as far as grammar is concerned, Romanian is actually the closest language to Latin. VOV Reporter: What about the weather in Romania? Gabriela Drobota: The four seasons of Romania, Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn are not usually in equal proportion.  Summer and Winter are much more dominant than Spring and Autumn. For this reason, many say it is a 2 season climate. VOV Reporter: Now a question about Romanian cuisine. I heard that it is influenced by the palates of the many foreign settlers who had travelled or occupied the land in the past. Tell us about the most popular and special dishes in Romania. VOV Reporter: What about drinks accompanying the food? Are there any special types? Gabriela Drobota: Well, Romania is blessed with excellent wine and beer. During special occasions a variety of delicious cakes is a popular necessity in Romania. A few such local dishes of Romania include: Ciorba, Mititei (also known as Mici, Tochitura, Mamaliga. VOV Reporter: So now we know what drinks to try when we visit Romania. Thanks a lot, Gabriela. Can you tell us more about the Romanian people and lifestyle? Gabriela Drobota: Romanians are warm, intelligence & passionate people. Street, violent and car crime is barely visible in everyday society and is nowhere near as significant as western Europe and few cities pose problems for walking late at night. Whilst one should always take basic precautions, you are unlikely to encounter any sense of feeling unsafe in populated areas, partly because Romanian society is still a strong and cohesive community force with deep family & faith values. VOV Reporter: Now a final question. We’re all very curious about Dracula legend which is associated with Romania. Tell us more about that, please. Count Dracula, a fictional character in the Dracula novel, was inspired by one of the best-known figures of Romanian history, Vlad Dracula, nicknamed Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler), who was the ruler of Walachia at various times from 1456-1462. Born in 1431 in Sighisoara, he resided all his adult life in Walachia, except for periods of imprisonment at Pest and Visegrad (in Hungary). Although he never traveled to Romania, Stoker crammed his book with descriptions of many real locations that can still be visited in present-day Romania. They include Sighisoara - the most important historical places associated with Vlad Tepes, such as the 14th century town of Sighisoara where you can visit the house in which Vlad was born (now hosting a restaurant and a small museum of medieval weapons). What is interesting about Vlad Tepes or Vlad the Dracula is that for us, Romanian, he was a hero. He was portraited by the writer as the Vampire, an evil spirit, an evil character, but actually in Romania, he’s portraited the hero because he was impaling the bad people that were stealing or doing the bad things in Romiana and protecting the honest people. So he’s one of our national heroes and rulers from the medieval time and everybody respects this figure in Romania. VOV Reporter: Romania is truly a hidden gem of Europe, I have to say. Thank you so much for joining us today. We wish you all the best in life and work!

the announcement on the 10th of February during an event attended by the Parana´s governor Irineo highlighted several demands to the public power Among them were improved infrastructure (viaducts and paving of rural roads) and implementation of alternatives for energy production but we are signalling our urgency,” said Irineo The governor pointed out that state is already working in most of these fields and LAR’s investments will help Paraná to further increase food production and industrialisation “Paraná prides LAR Cooperative throughout its history We want to make its developing process easier,” said Ratinho Junior The essence of Missouri’s offense is displayed prominently on a sign that hangs in team meeting rooms throughout the football facility it is imperative that we can throw and catch at a high level.” An offense that’s been among the nation’s elite at moving the ball through the air boils down to two acts: throwing and catching Despite possessing an unparalleled athleticism among Missouri’s wide receivers Rolandis Woodland was doing neither in September A first-team wideout through the first half of preseason camp Woodland struggled with his essential task He could blaze through coverages and create space between defenders By the time the season opener rolled around the redshirt sophomore had plummeted on the depth chart to the No He caught a 9-yard pass against McNeese State then a 5-yarder a week later against San Diego State that was the extent of Woodland’s production but I just had to think positive,” he said on Monday ‘I have to pick up my practice habits if I want to play more.’ ” that was the same player bursting past Kansas State safety Tysyn Hartman and hauling in a 51-yard rocket from Blaine Gabbert It was the second-longest pass of the season for Missouri and easily the longest a completion has traveled through the air the first deep-ball connection to a streaking receiver in weeks Hailed as a big-play threat since joining the team in 2008 Woodland came into Saturday’s game with only eight career receptions for 46 yards “We’ve got to find a way to get him involved,” said receiver T.J who caught a touchdown pass three plays after Woodland’s reception in the 38-28 victory “He’s one of the best athletes on our team But he finally got one under his belt that was about 50 yards downfield “I’m just going to keep throwing him the football,” said Gabbert 2 behind starter Jerrell Jackson at the outside receiver position Woodland has earned his playing time with a string of consistent weeks in practice With gentle prodding from receivers coach Andy Hill it doesn’t do me any good to focus on that let’s just focus on getting to the next play.’ He knows what he’s doing has been Woodland’s ability to attack his routes at full speed unsure how to harness speed that’s as good but I’d put Ro up against anyone on this team anyone on this defense or offense,” cornerback Kevin Rutland said “because he’s one of the fastest guys I’ve ever seen and one of the most athletic people I’ve ever come in contact with.” Wide receiver Wes Kemp witnessed that athleticism on the St Louis AAU basketball circuit eight years ago when Woodland he dunked on us again and shattered a backboard,” Kemp said “I remember everybody went running out of the gym.” Woodland rarely had time to develop in the same setting After winning a Class 3 state basketball title at Lutheran North in 2005 Woodland transferred to Rockwood Summit before his junior year There he developed into an all-state receiver Woodland needed a year at Harmony Community School By the time he arrived at MU in the summer of 2008 — he wasn’t cleared by the NCAA Eligibility Center until the eve of the season opener — Woodland was at his fourth school in four years “It feels good to just be in one place and not moving around and just knowing you’re going to stay in this place,” Woodland said and it made me feel more comfortable so I could develop my game.” Settled in the same place for three seasons now Woodland just might be nudging that potential teammates and coaches have gushed over the last few years Kemp points to junior tight end Michael Egnew as having the career arc for Woodland to follow Now an All-American candidate and Mackey Award semifinalist the most among Football Bowl Subdivision tight ends Saturday marked a new

I did this for our town. If people like it, come and visit. If they don’t, don’t.” The paper reported that each statue requires around 5kg of wax and sues imported English eyeballs. They are now housed in a nearby museum. Mr Armacollo also said he hoped the “commotion” would attract tourists from other cities to visit his wax sculptures.
