The professor carried out studies that confirmed that the work is from the missionary period, over 300 years old.   This is the first sculpture of an adult Saint John the Baptist Missionary found in Rio Grande do Sul, being considered an important find in the history of the state. It will be exhibited at the Cathedral of the Divine Holy Spirit, in Cruz Alta, until August 24th and then will return to the guardian family.  Second phase (1670-1695): the sculptures ceased to be assembled and began to resemble the European baroque. Their garments were complete and openwork.   Third phase (Santa Maria de Fe, 1685-1690): the clothes of the figures represented are cloaks with flattened folds.  Fourth phase (Rio-Grandense Period, 1696-1785): also known as the period of the Reform of José Brasanelli, it reveals a free and gestural style, with exuberant figures, covered with cloths blowing in the wind, with expressiveness of the Berninian European Baroque and other styles. Between 1730 and 1768, Brasanelli's models spread and a unique missionary style was created.  Check out information about benefits, academic calendar, access to academic systems and much more.

The Christmas Market will be located in Praça São João Batista and there you’ll be able to find that fantastic, original gift, created by artisans, plastic artists, designers and even farmers from various parts of the country. Companies and charities fill the remaining stalls, ready to help those in need with personalized gifts. The youngest are the most interested in bringing their parents to Almada Christmas. As well as being able to watch children’s shows, they’ll be able to enjoy the various Christmas attractions , such as the ice rink, the Parisian carousel, the electric Christmas train and lots of interactive spaces to take photos, such as the “Giant Bank”, the giant decorated “Wreaths”, “Cinderella’s Carriage” or the inflatable in the shape of a “Snow Globe” , attractions that we’re sure the little ones will love. Now for some news for the older ones: free concerts, fireworks and shows! The Feliz Almada event tent, among other places, will host some of the best-known national artists, such as Marisa Liz, Carminho and Herman José. The entire program for the festivities in Almada can be found on the municipality’s website or here.

Regional Government for information about Forte São João Baptista the party wants to know “all the information about what has led to the successive postponements” Sadly the Fort in Funchal with the same name is equally being allowed to fall into disrepair Most of the miradoro zone in the park surrounded the Fort has been fenced off for ages due to risks of borders falling from the walls of the Fort My guess is as before the Funchal council and the regional government are arguing over who is responsible for covering the repair costs Why spend a few thousand today on essential maintenance when you can wait years and end up with a renovation costing millions Maybe it’s another project awaiting more funds from the EU Or maybe certain politicians want the excuse to sell the entire edifice

this reshuffled alignment a record of the magnetic past sealed away like a proverbial mosquito in amber Along with several dozen other Jesuit missions built in the same era Santo Ângelo flourished briefly along what was then the poorly defined border between the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in South America the mission was home to about 8,000 people nearly all of them indigenous Guarani whom the Jesuits were trying to Christianize represents the first archeomagnetic survey undertaken in the region and suggests that current models of earth’s dynamic magnetic field need refining it suggests that the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) – a large and growing weak spot in the earth’s magnetic field centered roughly over southern Brazil – may have arrived over South America centuries earlier than was previously thought “We think it may have reached this region around 1600 meaning it grew earlier than people had predicted,” Poletti said That adds significant practical implications to understanding the development and future behavior of the SAA While the reasons behind the appearance and spread of this weak spot in the earth’s magnetic field have yet to be fully understood the phenomenon may be linked to the periodic magnetic reversals that the earth undergoes “This could actually be the start of our [magnetic] field flipping,” says Alexa Halford a NASA scientist based at the Goddard Space Flight Center Because the SAA was only discovered in 1958 our understanding of its historical development relies heavily on modeling and the relatively sparse archeomagnetic data like that recently recorded by Poletti’s team Over 90 percent of the archeomagnetic sampling that informs these models was conducted in the Northern Hemisphere That gives him extra incentive to continue his work in Brazil and help build a more comprehensive set of global data to refine the models of earth’s changing magnetic field “Understanding this entire process [of geomagnetic reversal] may not seem like it’s important for tomorrow or 10 years for now but understanding how it’s changing will give us a way to prepare for the future,’ Halford added “If it continues to grow in size and decrease in value this is a serious issue [for spaceflight],” says John Geissman professor of geosciences at the University of Texas at Dallas Poletti’s future research plans include an archeomagnetic survey over the past 3,000 years in the Amazon basin It’s a region ripe for such work because it’s full of ceramic fragments – a legacy of its long history of human occupation – that have never been scrutinized for clues about the earth’s magnetic past Poletti has also using a worldwide database of past archeomagnetic studies to further investigate the suggestion gleaned from the ruined Jesuit missions of southern Brazil that the SAA was bigger in centuries past than we’d thought we’ll understand variations in the magnetic field [in the Amazon] over the last 3,000 years … [and] better understand the development of the SAA and its influence on the global magnetic field,” he said Register or Log In Want more?Keep reading for as low as $1.99 Subscribe Save up to 40% off the cover
