The landscape of the State is marked by mountains, valleys, and large areas of fertile lands. In the Serra do Cipó, Sete Lagoas, Cordisburgo and Lagoa Santa, the caves and waterfalls are the attractions. Some of Brazil's most famous caverns are located there. In recent years, the state has emerged as one of the largest economic forces of Brazil, exploring its great economic potential.

Belo Horizonte
Belo Horizonte (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˌbɛloɾiˈzõtʃi]; Beautiful Horizon) is the sixth largest city in Brazil, the thirteenth largest city in South America and the sixteen largest city in the Americas. The metropolis is anchor to the Belo Horizonte metropolitan area, ranked as the third most populous metropolitan area in Brazil, the eighteenth most populous in the Americas and the thirty-seventh largest in the world. Belo Horizonte is the capital of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil's second most populous state.
The region was first settled in the early 18th century, but the city as it is known today was planned and constructed in the 1890s, in order to replace Ouro Preto as the capital of Minas Gerais. The city features a mixture of contemporary and classical buildings, and is home to several modern Brazilian architectural icons, most notably the Pampulha Complex. In planning the city, Aarão Reis and Francisco Bicalho sought inspiration in the urban planning of Washington, D.C. The city has employed notable programs in urban revitalization and food security, for which it has been awarded international accolades.

Conferência com Eduardo Viveiros de Castro
Conferência de encerramento com Eduardo Viveiros de Castro durante o seminário “Variações do Corpo Selvagem: Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, fotógrafo, realizado em outubro de 2015 no Sesc Ipiranga.
Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, a partir da exposição, reflete sobre os nexos entre fotografia, antropologia e arte.
Foram dois dias do evento que reuniu antropólogos e pesquisadores de outras áreas, especialmente do campo artístico, com o objetivo de analisar o alcance da obra de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro e sua teoria no pensamento contemporâneo.
O seminário integrou a programação paralela à exposição “Variações do Corpo Selvagem: Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, fotógrafo. Com curadoria do escritor e crítico literário Eduardo Sterzi e da escritora e crítica de arte Veronica Stigger, a mostra exibiu cerca de 400 registros fotográficos feitos pelo antropólogo e teve ampla programação com apresentações artísticas.
Eduardo Viveiros de Castro
Eduardo Batalha Viveiros de Castro nasceu em 19 de abril de 1951, no Rio de Janeiro. Cursou a graduação em Ciências Sociais pela PUC-RJ e, em 1974, ingressou no Programa de Pós-graduação do Museu Nacional (UFRJ), com um projeto de Mestrado em Antropologia Urbana. No entanto, dois anos depois, uma breve visita a um povo indígena, os Yawalapíti, desviou-o para a etnologia indígena. Terminou seu Mestrado em 1977, sob orientação de Roberto DaMatta e com uma dissertação sobre este povo aruaque do Alto Xingu.
No ano seguinte, tornou-se docente do Museu Nacional, onde é hoje professor titular de Etnologia. Em 1984, obteve seu doutorado na mesma instituição, com uma tese sobre a cosmologia dos Araweté, um povo tupi-guarani do Pará, junto a quem residiu em 1981-82, e com o qual continua, desde então, em contato. A tese, premiada pela Associação Nacional de Pós-graduação e Pesquisa em Ciências Sociais (ANPOCS), foi publicada no Brasil (1986) e nos Estados Unidos (1992).
Seu trabalho posterior versou sobre temas etnológicos diversos (parentesco, corporalidade, cosmologia, guerra), abordados em uma série de artigos, entre os quais se destacam Alguns aspectos da afinidade no dravidianato amazônico (1993) - que teve grande impacto nos estudos de parentesco dessa região -, e sobretudo Os pronomes cosmológicos e o perspectivismo ameríndio (1996), traduzido para diversas línguas e incluído em uma antologia de textos-chave de Antropologia da Religião.
Foi professor associado nas universidades de Chicago (1991) e Manchester (1994). Em meados da década de 1990, criou as bases para a teoria do chamado “perspectivismo ameríndio”, quando, juntamente com a sua então orientanda de doutorado Tânia Stolze Lima, analisava os mitos ameríndios. Em seus estudos, ambos observaram, na maioria dos índios da América, uma perspectiva totalmente diferente do homem ocidental sobre o “humano” – perspectiva esta que interfere radicalmente nas formas de relação com o mundo, com os demais seres vivos e até com as coisas.
Em 1997-1998, Viveiros de Castro ocupou a Cátedra Simón Bolívar de Estudos Latino-americanos da Universidade de Cambridge, quando se tornou também Fellow de King's College. Entre 1999 e 2001, trabalhou como diretor de pesquisa do Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, Paris), junto à Equipe de Recherche en Ethnologie Amerindienne, que o elegeu membro permanente. Foi também professor ou pesquisador visitante na Universidade de Paris X (Nanterre), na École Pratique des Hautes Etudes, na École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, e na Universidade de São Paulo. Em 1998, recebeu o Prix de la Francophonie da Academia Francesa e, em 2004, o Prêmio Érico Vanucci Mendes do CNPq.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Science and technology in Brazil has entered the international arena in recent decades. The central agency for science and technology in Brazil is the Ministry of Science and Technology, which includes the CNPq and Finep. This ministry also has direct supervision over the National Institute for Space Research (Portuguese: Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais — INPE), the National Institute of Amazonian Research (Portuguese: Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia — INPA), and the National Institute of Technology (Brazil) (Portuguese: Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia — INT). The ministry is also responsible for the Secretariat for Computer and Automation Policy (Portuguese: Secretaria de Política de Informática e Automação — SPIA), which is the successor of the SEI. The Ministry of Science and Technology, which the Sarney government created in March 1985, was headed initially by a person associated with the nationalist ideologies of the past. Although the new minister was able to raise the budget for the science and technology sector, he remained isolated within the government and had no influence on policy making for the economy.
With the new ministry, the science and technology agencies increased in size but lost some of their former independence and flexibility, and they became more susceptible to patronage politics. Most of the resources of the CNPq were channeled to fellowship programs procedures for quality control and no mechanisms to make the fellows active in the country's science and technology institutions. New groups competed for resources and control of the country's agencies of science, technology, and higher education. These groups included political parties, unionized university professors and employees, scientific societies, and special interest groups within the scientific and technological community. The SBPC (Brazilian Society for Scientific Development) shed its image as a semi-autonomous association of scientists to become an active lobbyist for more public resources and the protection of national technology from international competition.

SUMMARY
=======
Rio de Janeiro (; Portuguese: [ˈʁi.u d(ʒi) ʒɐˈnejɾu]; River of January), or simply Rio, is the second-most populous municipality in Brazil and the sixth-most populous in the Americas. The metropolis is anchor to the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, the second-most populous metropolitan area in Brazil and sixth-most populous in the Americas. Rio de Janeiro is the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's third-most populous state. Part of the city has been designated as a World Heritage Site, named Rio de Janeiro: Carioca Landscapes between the Mountain and the Sea, by UNESCO on 1 July 2012 as a Cultural Landscape.Founded in 1565 by the Portuguese, the city was initially the seat of the Captaincy of Rio de Janeiro, a domain of the Portuguese Empire. Later, in 1763, it became the capital of the State of Brazil, a state of the Portuguese Empire. In 1808, when the Portuguese Royal Court transferred itself from Portugal to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro became the chosen seat of the court of Queen Maria I of Portugal, who subsequently, in 1815, under the leadership of her son, the Prince Regent, and future King João VI of Portugal, raised Brazil to the dignity of a kingdom, within the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and Algarves. Rio stayed the capital of the pluricontinental Lusitanian monarchy until 1822, when the War of Brazilian Independence began. This is one of the few instances in history that the capital of a colonising country officially shifted to a city in one of its colonies. Rio de Janeiro subsequently served as the capital of the independent monarchy, the Empire of Brazil, until 1889, and then the capital of a republican Brazil until 1960 when the capital was transferred to Brasília.
Rio de Janeiro has the second largest municipal GDP in the country, and 30th largest in the world in 2008, estimated at about R$343 billion (IBGE, 2008) (nearly US$201 billion). It is headquarters to Brazilian oil, mining, and telecommunications companies, including two of the country's major corporations – Petrobras and Vale – and Latin America's largest telemedia conglomerate, Grupo Globo. The home of many universities and institutes, it is the second-largest center of research and development in Brazil, accounting for 17% of national scientific output according to 2005 data. Despite the high perception of crime, the city has a lower incidence of crime than Northeast Brazil, but it is far more criminalized than the south region of Brazil, which is considered the safest in the country.Rio de Janeiro is one of the most visited cities in the Southern Hemisphere and is known for its natural settings, Carnival, samba, bossa nova, and balneario beaches such as Barra da Tijuca, Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon. In addition to the beaches, some of the most famous landmarks include the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado mountain, named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; Sugarloaf Mountain with its cable car; the Sambódromo (Sambadrome), a permanent grandstand-lined parade avenue which is used during Carnival; and Maracanã Stadium, one of the world's largest football stadiums. Rio de Janeiro was the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Paralympics, making the city the first South American and Portuguese-speaking city to ever host the events, and the third time the Olympics were held in a Southern Hemisphere city. The Maracanã Stadium held the finals of the 1950 and 2014 FIFA World Cups, the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, and the XV Pan American Games.
