In Rio de Janeiro, urban ‘quilombo’ recover the history of our ancestors
On March 25, the United Nations commemorates International Day of Remembrance of Victims of Slavery and Transatlantic Slave Trade. During the transatlantic slave trade, Brazil has received almost 5 million enslaved Africans. At the time, the ‘quilombos’ – hinterland settlements founded by people of African origin – were places of refuge and slaves fled from the farms. Today, they help to preserve part of our history.

Incêndio no Parque Estadual de Monte Alegre
Focos de incêndio atingiram o Parque Estadual de Monte Alegre (PEMA) no sábado (05). O incêndio começou no sítio arqueológico Serra da Lua, um dos principais sítios do parque, que está entre as 26 Unidades de Conservação estaduais geridas pelo Instituto de Desenvolvimento Florestal e da Biodiversidade do Estado do Pará.
Uma equipe do Corpo de Bombeiros de Santarém, na região oeste do Pará, foi deslocada para o município de Monte Alegre na manhã de domingo (06) para auxiliar no combate às chamas.
Os trabalhos de prevenção a incêndios, como a limpeza da vegetação seca, são realizados ao longo do ano no local, mas nem sempre são suficientes para impedir os incêndios.
Na madrugada de segunda-feira (07), o fogo foi controlado. A chuva que caiu na região ajudou os bombeiros e voluntários.
O Parque está inserido na Área de Proteção Ambiental Paytuna desde 2001. As pinturas rupestres da Serra da Lua foram datadas em mais de 11 mil anos. Suas pinturas impressas em paredões se estendem por mais de 200 metros. Já foram cadastrados 26 sítios arqueológicos na região.

How meeting Josef Mengele's son led Trisha Posner to The Pharmacist of Auschwitz
Books and Books in Coral Gables hosted an event for TRISHA POSNER and GERALD POSNER - husband and wife authors - on March 23, 2017. Their talk focused on how they worked together and why Nazis, World War II and the Holocaust have been a consistent thread through many of their projects. They concentrated on two of their books, Gerald's 1986 biography of Auschwitz's Angel of Death, Josef Mengele (MENGELE: THE COMPLETE STORY). And Trisha's 2017 biography of Victor Capesius, the camp's chief pharmacist (THE PHARMACIST OF AUSCHWITZ: THE UNTOLD STORY).
In this 5-minute clip, Trisha reveals how a tension-filled 1986 meeting in New York with Rolf Mengele, the only son of Dr. Josef Mengele, inadvertently sparked the idea for her to pursue a project about Auschwitz's little known pharmacist, Victor Capesius.

Conheça o Santo do Pau Oco - Olinda - PE
Conhecendo a cidade histórica de Olinda, na Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Graça, me deparo com um Santo do Pau Oco.
Estes santos eram usados para transportar ouro do Brasil para Portugal de maneira clandestina, burlando assim a alta cobrança de impostos.
Mal sabiam eles que séculos depois, a cobrança de impostos seria mais alta ainda, só que agora são os Santos de Pau Oco que controlam pra onde irão os impostos... lamentável.
No final do vídeo aparece uma entrada no chão que servia como passagem subterrânea para transporte desse ouro. O violino sendo tocado dentro da igreja é por que a igreja estava sendo usada para um casamento.

Josef Mengele
Josef Mengele (German: [ˈjoːzɛf ˈmɛŋələ] ( ); 16 March 1911 -- 7 February 1979) was a German Schutzstaffel (SS) officer and physician in Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. He was notorious for the selection of victims to be killed in the gas chambers and for performing unscientific and often deadly human experiments on prisoners. After the war, he fled to South America, where he evaded capture for the rest of his life.
Mengele received doctorates in anthropology and medicine from Munich University and began a career as a researcher. He joined the Nazi Party in 1937 and the SS in 1938. Initially assigned as a battalion medical officer at the start of World War II, he transferred to the concentration camp service in early 1943 and was assigned to Auschwitz. There he saw the opportunity to conduct genetic research on human subjects. His subsequent experiments, focusing primarily on twins, were unscientific and had no regard for the health or safety of the victims. Mengele was also a member of the team of doctors assigned to do selections: new arrivals deemed able to work were admitted into the camp, and those deemed unfit for labor were immediately killed in the gas chambers. Mengele left Auschwitz on 17 January 1945, shortly before the arrival of the liberating Red Army troops.

Em HD: Bragança Paulista a Águas da Prata - via Pedreira, Jaguariuna e Espirito Santo do Pinhal
Um belo passeio pelas estradas e cidades do interior paulista, entre Bragança Paulista e Águas da Prata, fugindo um pouco das autoestradas mais comuns(Além de claro, dos pedágios, economizando 28 reais).
Saindo de Bragança Paulista pela rodovia SP-95, a Benevenuto Moretto, que liga a cidade a Amparo, vamos chegar a Tuiuti, nossa primeira parada, aonde vamos dar uma caminhada pelo Parque do Lago e conhecer a cidade. Depois vamos pegar a SP95, Rodovia João Beira, no trecho duplicado, para ir até Pedreira, cidade famosa pelo seu produtos de artesanato e decoração. Vamos conhecer a cidade e o Morro do Cristo. E daí, vamos conhecer as locomotivas históricas preservadas da ABPF em Jaguariúna, na antiga estação ferroviária.
Em Jaguariúna vamos pegar a SP-340, Rodovia Governador Adhemar de Barros, uma autoestrada bem mais moderna, para depois seguir pela SP-342 em direção a Aguas da Prata, aonde vamos dar uma volta pela cidade e conhecer a Cachoeira da Cascatinha.

SUMMARY
=======
Josef Mengele (; German: [ˈmɛŋələ]; 16 March 1911 – 7 February 1979) was a German Schutzstaffel (SS) officer and physician in Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. He performed deadly human experiments on prisoners and was a member of the team of doctors who selected victims to be killed in the gas chambers. Arrivals that were judged able to work were admitted into the camp, while those deemed unsuitable for labor were sent to the gas chambers to be killed. With Red Army troops sweeping through Poland, Mengele was transferred 280 kilometers (170 mi) from Auschwitz to the Gross-Rosen concentration camp on 17 January 1945, just ten days before the arrival of the Soviet forces at Auschwitz. After the war, he fled to South America where he evaded capture for the rest of his life.
Before the war, Mengele had received doctorates in anthropology and medicine, and began a career as a researcher. He joined the Nazi Party in 1937 and the SS in 1938. He was assigned as a battalion medical officer at the start of World War II, then transferred to the Nazi concentration camps service in early 1943 and assigned to Auschwitz, where he saw the opportunity to conduct genetic research on human subjects. His subsequent experiments focused primarily on twins, with little regard for the health or safety of the victims.Mengele sailed to Argentina in July 1949, assisted by a network of former SS members. He initially lived in and around Buenos Aires, then fled to Paraguay in 1959 and Brazil in 1960, while being sought by West Germany, Israel, and Nazi hunters such as Simon Wiesenthal who wanted to bring him to trial. He eluded capture in spite of extradition requests by the West German government and clandestine operations by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. He drowned in 1979 after suffering a stroke while swimming off the Brazilian coast, and was buried under a false name. His remains were disinterred and positively identified by forensic examination in 1985.

SUMMARY
=======
Catalonia (Catalan: Catalunya, Occitan: Catalonha, Spanish: Cataluña) is an autonomous community in Spain on the northeastern corner of the Iberian Peninsula, designated as a nationality by its Statute of Autonomy. Catalonia consists of four provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona. The capital and largest city is Barcelona, the second-most populated municipality in Spain and the core of the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union. It comprises most of the territory of the former Principality of Catalonia (with the remainder Roussillon now part of France's Pyrénées-Orientales, Occitanie). It is bordered by France (Occitanie) and Andorra (Andorra la Vella, Encamp, Escaldes-Engordany, La Massana and Sant Julià de Lòria) to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the east, and the Spanish autonomous communities of Aragon to the west and Valencia to the south. The official languages are Catalan, Spanish, and the Aranese dialect of Occitan.In the late 8th century, the counties of the March of Gothia and the Hispanic March were established by the Frankish kingdom as feudal vassals across and near the eastern Pyrenees as a defensive barrier against Muslim invasions. The eastern counties of these marches were united under the rule of the Frankish vassal, the count of Barcelona, and were later called Catalonia. In 1137, Catalonia and the Kingdom of Aragon were united by marriage under the Crown of Aragon, and the Principality of Catalonia developed its own institutional system, such as courts (parliament), and constitutions, becoming the base for the Crown of Aragon's naval power, trade and expansionism in the Mediterranean. In the later Middle Ages, Catalan literature flourished. During the last Medieval centuries natural disasters, social turmoils and military conflicts affected the Principality. Between 1469 and 1516, the king of Aragon and the queen of Castile married and ruled their kingdoms together, retaining all of them their distinct institutions and legislation.
During the Franco-Spanish War (1635–1659), Catalonia revolted (1640–1652) against a large and burdensome presence of the royal army in its territory, being briefly proclaimed a republic under French protection. Within a brief period France took full control of Catalonia, until it was largely reconquered by the Spanish army. Under the terms of the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, the Spanish Crown ceded the northern parts of Catalonia, mostly the County of Roussillon, to France. During the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714), the Crown of Aragon sided against the Bourbon Philip V of Spain; following Catalan defeat on 11 September 1714, Philip V, inspired by the model of France imposed a unifying administration across Spain, enacting the Nueva Planta decrees, suppressing the main Catalan institutions and rights like in the other realms of the Crown of Aragon. This led to the eclipse of Catalan as a language of government and literature, replaced by Spanish. Along the 18th century, Catalonia experienced economic growth, reinforced in the late quarter of the century when the Castile's trade monopoly with American colonies ended.
In the 19th century, Catalonia was severely affected by the Napoleonic and Carlist Wars. In the second half of the century, Catalonia experienced significant industrialisation. As wealth from the industrial expansion grew, Catalonia saw a cultural renaissance coupled with incipient nationalism while several workers movements appeared. In 1914, the four Catalan provinces formed a commonwealth, and with the return of democracy during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939), the Generalitat of Catalonia was restored as an autonomous government. After the Spanish Civil War, the Francoist dictatorship enacted repressive measures, abolishing Catalan self-government and banning the official use of the Catalan language again. After a first period of autarky, fro ...
