Belo Horizonte (Portuguese pronunciation: ;[2] Beautiful Horizon) is the sixth largest city in Brazil, the thirteenth largest city in South America and the sixteenth 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 nineteenth most populous in the Americas and the forty-second largest in the world. Belo Horizonte is the capital of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil's second most populous state. It is the first planned modern city in Brazil.
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.[3] The city has employed notable programs in urban revitalization and food security, for which it has been awarded international accolades.
The city is built on several hills and is completely surrounded by mountains.[4] There are several large parks in the immediate surroundings of Belo Horizonte. The Mangabeiras Park (Parque das Mangabeiras), located 6 km (4 mi) south-east from the city centre in the hills of Curral Ridge (Serra do Curral), has a very broad view of the city. It has an area of 2.35 km2 (580 acres), of which 0.9 km2 (220 acres) is covered by the native forest. The Jambeiro Woods (Mata do Jambeiro) nature reserve extends over 912 hectares (2,250 acres), with vegetation typical of the Atlantic forest. More than one hundred species of birds inhabit the reserve, as well as ten different species of mammals.
Belo Horizonte was one of the host cities of the 1950 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, the city shared the host of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Praça Sete de Setembro (September 7th Square).
Praça da Liberdade (Liberty Square) and Downtown Belo Horizonte.
The term "Grande BH" ("Greater Belo Horizonte") denotes any of various definitions for the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte. The legally defined Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte consists of 34 municipalities in total, and a population of around five million inhabitants (as of 2007, according to IBGE).[5][6]
The intense process of urbanization that is taking place in the metropolitan region has made some of the political boundaries between municipalities in the region obsolete. The city is now composed of a relatively contiguous urban area, centered on Belo Horizonte, which extends out into municipalities such as Contagem, Betim, Nova Lima, Raposos, Ribeirão das Neves, Ibirité, Santa Luzia and Sabará, among others.
The municipality bounded to the north by Vespasiano, to the north east by Santa Luzia, by Sabará to the east, by Nova Lima to the southeast, Brumadinho to the south and Ribeirão das Neves, Contagem and Ibirité to the west.
Geology and geomorphology
The city from the Mirante das Mangabeiras.
Belo Horizonte lies on a region of contact between different geological series of the Proterozoic. The geology largely comprises various crystalline rocks, which give rise to the varied morphology of the landscape. It is located in a large geological unit known as the craton of San Francisco, referring to extensive crustal nucleus of central-eastern Brazil, tectonically stable at the end of the Paleoproterozoic and bordering areas that suffered the regeneration at the Neoproterozoic.
The archean rocks members of Belo Horizonte complex and supracrustal sequences of the Paleoproterozoic is predominant. The area of Belo Horizonte complex includes the geomorphological unit called Depression of Belo Horizonte, which represents about 70% of the municipality area and has its greatest expression in the northern Ribeirão Arrudas (Rues Stream) pipeline. The metasedimentary rocks has its area of occurrence on the south of Ribeirão Arrudas pipeline, constituting about 30% of the area of Belo Horizonte. The characteristics of this area are lithological diversities and rugged topography, which has its maximum expression in the Serra do Curral (Corral Ridge), the southern boundary of the municipality.
Its soil comprises a succession of layers of rocks of varied composition, represented by itabirite, dolomite, quartzite, filities and schists different from the general direction northwest-southeast and dip to the southeast. The hills of Belo Horizonte are part of the Espinhaço Mountains and belong to the larger Itacolomi mountain chain. The highest point in the municipality is in the Serra do Curral, reaching 1,538 metres (5,046 ft).
Pampulha lagoon.
Belo Horizonte's latitude at 19'55"South places it in the tropical zone. Yearly temperatures average between 9 and 35 °C (48 and 95 °F). The Köppen climate classification of the region is tropical savanna climate (Aw) and it borders on a humid subtropical climate (Cwa), (tropical on high altitudes, humid/warm summers and a dry/mild winters). Belo Horizonte is located about 300 kilometres (190 mi) from the sea.
Even though inter-seasonal differences are not as pronounced as they are in temperate places, there is a contrast between spring and summer, and between fall and winter. The coldest month is generally July, with a lowest recorded temperature of 2 °C (36 °F). The hottest month is usually January, with a highest recorded temperature of 35.4 °C (96 °F).
The 852-metre (2,795 ft) elevation of Belo Horizonte helps a little in cooling the city, suppressing high maximum air temperatures experienced in nearby cities at lower altitudes. Belo Horizonte's climate is mild throughout the year. Temperatures vary between 11 and 31 °C (52 and 88 °F), the average being 22 °C (72 °F). Winter is dry, and summer is rainy.

Belo Horizonte in 1895.
The metropolis was once a small village, founded by João Leite da Silva Ortiz, a bandeirante explorer from São Paulo. The explorer settled in the region in 1701, leaving a gold rush expedition. He then established a farm called "Curral d'el Rey", archaic Portuguese for the "King's Corral", which in modern Portuguese would be spelled Curral do Rei. The farm's wealth and success encouraged people from surrounding places to move into the region, and Curral del Rey became a village surrounded by farms.[11]
Another important factor contributing to the growth of the village was the number of migrants from the São Francisco river region, who had to pass through Curral d'el Rey in order to reach southern parts of Brazil. Travelers usually visited a small wooden chapel, where they prayed for a safe trip. Due to this fact, the chapel was named Capela da Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem, which means "Chapel of Our Lady of the Good Journey." After the construction of Belo Horizonte, the old baroque chapel was replaced by a neo-gothic church which became the city's cathedral.[12]
The previous capital of Minas Gerais, Ouro Preto (meaning "black gold", due to dark rocks with gold inside found on the region), originally called "Vila Rica" ("wealthy village"), was a symbol of both the monarchic Brazilian Empire and the period when most of Brazilian income was due to mining, and that never pleased the members of the Inconfidência Mineira, republican intellectuals who conspired against the Portuguese dominion of Brazil. In 1889, Brazil became a republic, and it was agreed that a new state capital, in tune with a modern and prosperous Minas Gerais, had to be set.[13]
Founding of the city in 1897.
In 1893, due to the climatic and topographic conditions, Curral Del Rey was selected by Minas Gerais governor Afonso Pena among other cities as the location for the new economical and cultural center of the state, under the new name of "Cidade de Minas," or City of Minas.[14]
Aarão Reis, an urbanist from the State of Pará, was then set to design the second planned city of Brazil (the first one is Teresina), and then Cidade de Minas was inaugurated finally in 1897, with many unfinished constructions as the Brazilian Government set a deadline for its completion. Inhabitation of the city was subsidized by the local government, through the concession of free empty lots and funding for building houses. An interesting feature of Reis' downtown street plan for Belo Horizonte was the inclusion of a symmetrical array of perpendicular and diagonal streets named after Brazilian states and Brazilian indigenous tribes.[15]
Liberdade Square.
In 1906, the name was then changed to Belo Horizonte, and at that time the city was experiencing a considerable industrial expansion that increased its commercial and service sectors. From its very beginning, the city's original plan prohibited workers to live inside the urban area which was defined by Avenida do Contorno (a long avenue which goes around the city's central areas), reserved for the public sector functionaries (hence the name of the still trendy neighborhood "Funcionários"), and bringing about an accelerated occupation outside the city's area well provided with infrastructure since its very beginning. Obviously, the city's original planners did not count on its population growth afterwards, which proved especially intense in the last twenty years of the 20th century.
In the 1940s, a young Oscar Niemeyer designed the Pampulha Neighborhood to great acclaim, a commission he got thanks to then-mayor, soon-to-be-president Juscelino Kubitschek. These two men are largely responsible for the wide avenues, large lakes, parks and jutting skylines that characterize the city today.[16]
Belo Horizonte is fast becoming a regional center of commerce. The Latin American Research and development center of Google, situated in Belo Horizonte, was responsible for the management and operation of the former social networking website Orkut. It continues to be a trendsetter in the arts, particularly where music, literature, architecture and the avant-garde are concerned.[17]
The population of Belo Horizonte, as well as the majority of the Brazilian cities, is marked by ethnic mix. In the picture, a group of public school students in the city.

According to the 2010 IBGE Census, there were 2,258,096 people residing in the city of Belo Horizonte.[18] The census revealed the following numbers: 1,110,034 White people (46.7%), 995,167 Pardo (Multiracial) people (41.9%), 241,155 Black people (10.2%), 25,270 Asian people (1.1%), 3,477 Amerindian people (0.1%).[19]
In 2010, the city had 428,893 opposite-sex couples and 1,090 same-sex couples. The population of Belo Horizonte was 53.1% female and 46.9% male.[19]
The Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, called Greater Belo Horizonte, is the 3rd most populous of Brazil, after only Greater São Paulo (with 19,672,582 people, first in Brazil and 5th in the world) and Greater Rio de Janeiro (with 14,387,000 people). The city is the 6th most populous of the country.
During the 18th century, Minas Gerais received many Portuguese immigrants, mainly from Northern Portugal as well as many enslaved Africans.[20]
Belo Horizonte has a notable Italian influence; around 30% of the city's population have some Italian origin.[21] The Italian culture is present in the cuisine, dance, and language.[22] People of German, Spanish, and Syrian-Lebanese ancestries also make up sizeable groups.

Belo Horizonte receives large numbers of visitors, as it is in the Brazilian main economic axis, exerting influence even on other states. Both multinational and Brazilian companies, like Google and Oi, maintain offices in the city. The service sector plays a very important role in the economy of Belo Horizonte, being responsible for 85% of the city's gross domestic product (GDP), with the industry making up for most of the remaining 15%. Belo Horizonte has a developed industrial sector, being traditionally a hub of the Brazilian siderurgical and metallurgical industries, as the state of Minas Gerais has always been very rich in minerals, specifically iron ore.
Belo Horizonte is the distribution and processing center of a rich agricultural and mining region and the nucleus of a burgeoning industrial complex. Production is centred on steel, steel products, automobiles, and textiles. Gold, manganese, and gemstones mined in the surrounding region are processed in the city.[24] The main industrial district of the city was set during the 1940s in Contagem, a part of greater Belo Horizonte. Multinational companies like FIAT (which opened its plant in Betim in 1974), Arcelor, and Toshiba have subsidiaries in the region, along with other textile, cosmetic, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, furnishing and refractory companies. Among the companies headquartered in the city we can list steel producer Açominas (held by Gerdau, one of the largest multinationals originated in Brazil); Usiminas; Belgo-Mineira (held by Arcelor); Acesita (partially held by Arcelor); mobile communication Vivo; and Telecom Italia Mobile, Dasein executive search, executive coaching company, as well as the NYSE-listed electrical company CEMIG. Leading steel product makers Sumitomo Metals of Japan and Vallourec of France have also plans to construct an integrated steel works on the outskirts of the city.

There are also a large number of small enterprises in the technological sector with regional to nationwide success, particularly in the fields of computing and biotechonology. Because of both governmental and private funding in the diversification of its economy, the city has become an international reference in Information Technology and Biotechnology, and is also cited because of the advanced corporate and university research in Biodiesel fuel. The number of jobs in the Information sector has been growing at annual rates above 50%. The Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Area, composed of 33 cities under the capital's direct influence, is home to 16% of the country's biotechnology companies, with annual sales of over R$550 million.[25]
Projects in these fields are likely to expand because of integration between universities, the oil company Petrobras and the Brazilian Government. One of the largest events that ever took place in the city, the Inter-American Development Bank meeting, occurred in 2005 and attracted people from everywhere in the world.
For a long time it was marked by the predominance of its industrial sector, but from the 1990s there has been a constant expansion of the service sector economy, particularly in computer science, biotechnology, business tourism, fashion and the making of jewelry. The city is considered to be a strategic leader in the Brazilian economy. The move towards business tourism transformed the capital into a national hub for this segment of the tourist industry.
In 2008, the city's GDP was R$42 billion (or about of US$26,2 billion).[26]
In 2008, the Greater Belo Horizonte's GDP was R$98,5 billion (or about of US$61 billion).[27]
In 2008, the city's per capita income was R$17,313 (or US$10,820).[28] In 2007, it was R$15,830[29] (about of US$9,893).[29]

Belo Horizonte is internationally known as the "capital of neighborhood bars."[31] Every year, the city hosts the Comida di Buteco festival ("Pub Foods", in an approximate translation), in which a panel selects 41 bars to be visited, and then elects the one with the best appetizers using the theme ingredient of each year.
Minas Gerais' cuisine is famous for its traditional dishes, like pão de queijo, feijão tropeiro, tutu de feijão, pork ribs, chicken-and-okra (served with a rich, brown gravy and rice) and other usually heavy, comfort-like food. The city also abounds with pizza places, barbecue houses, fine restaurants of various nationalities and other options.

The band Uakti - known for performing with self-built musical instruments - originated in Belo Horizonte under the influence of Walter Smetak and the Composition School from Bahia. Also, several nationally famous rock groups have been founded in Belo Horizonte, including Jota Quest, Pato Fu, Skank, 14 Bis and Tianastácia. In later years, Belo Horizonte has been more frequently included in Brazilian tours of foreign mainstream and independent acts.
Belo Horizonte is also known as the Brazilian Capital of Metal, hence the huge number of heavy metal bands (and the likes) founded there, especially in the 1980s. Most importantly, Overdose, the first metal band from BH and one of the first to gain prominence in Brazil; Sepultura, the world's best known Brazilian metal band; and Sarcófago, one of the founders of modern black metal. The contemporary Christian music band Diante do Trono, is also of Belo Horizonte. A short instrumental song by American band Earth, Wind & Fire is named after the city on their album Now, Then & Forever.
Pampulha Art Museum.
Belo Horizonte features a number of museums including the Mineiro Museum, the Abílio Barreto Historic Museum, Arts and Workmanship Museum, a Natural History Museum and the UFMG Botanic Gardens, a telephone museum, the Pampulha Art Museum, the Professor Taylor Gramke Mineralogy Museum, and the UFMG Conservatory. The puppet theatre group Giramundo was established here in 1970, and continues to maintain a puppetry museum hosting a collection of their creations.
Natural History Museum and the UFMG Botanic Gardens
The Natural History Museum and Botanical Garden holds an important treasure of folk art – the Nativity of Pipiripau. Created during the 20th century, the craftsman Raimundo Machado, synchronizes 586 figures, distributed in 45 scenes, which tell the story of life and death of Jesus, mixed with its variety of arts and crafts.[32]
With 600,000 sq. m. of green area, the UFMG Museum of Natural History and Botanic Garden (MHN-JB) is a privileged ecological space that enables visitors to experience nature in a rich, multidisciplinary way. For 30 years, the mission of the MHN-JB has been to do research, to educate, and to meet the community's demand for service. It covers the areas of Anthropology, Archeology, Environmental Education, Natural History, Mineralogy, and Paleontology. It has an Ecological Amphitheater, a Free Art Atelier, a Greenhouse, and an Interactive Room. One of its traditional exhibitions is the Pipiripau Nativity Crèche.It has also created many attractions for the public such as:
Palácio das Artes
Palácio das Artes, inaugurated in 1970, is the largest and most varied cultural complex in Minas Gerais. It comprises three theaters, three art galleries, a movie theater, a bookstore a coffee shop and photography exhibition space. It offers high quality programs for the several expressions in arts. The building was projected by Oscar Niemeyer and it also houses the Minas Gerais Handcraft Center.
Pampulha Art Museum (MAP)
The Pampulha Art Museum is located at the Pampulha Lagoon in Belo Horizonte in a building that originally housed the Pampulha Casino. The building was projected by Oscar Niemeyer, commissioned by the then mayor and future president of Brazil Juscelino Kubitschek in the early 1940s, with external grounds by landscaper Roberto Burle Marx.
The building was the first project of Oscar Niemeyer. It was an old casino, closed in 1946. In 1957, opened with the Art Museum. His design was influenced by the principles of Le Corbusier. The gardens of Burle Marx are an tribute to the tropical green. There is three sculptures by Ceschiatti, Zamoiski and José Pedrosa. In 1996, it won new multimedia rooms, library, café bar, souvenir shop and technical infrastructure. The MAP has an impressive collection of 1.600 works.[33] The Museum is an integral part of the "Pampulha Architectural Complex" a watershed in the history of modern architecture in Brazil and internationally.
Estação Square during the International Festival of Theatre, Stage and Street.
Every two years, FIT BH, The International Theater Festival of Belo Horizonte, takes place in the city. This attracts artists from all over Brazil and worldwide. With the merger of two projects that would happen separately in 1994, one stage based, organized by the Francisco Nunes Theater, and the other street based, idealized by Grupo Galpão, came FIT-BH Palco & Rua. Produced every two years, under responsibility from the Belo Horizonte City Hall, through the Municipal Culture Office and the Association Movimento Teatro de Grupo of Minas Gerais, in the program there are street and stage shows, and also seminars, workshops, courses, talks, etc.

Several notable artistic groups originated in Belo Horizonte. Grupo Corpo, which is perhaps the most famous contemporary dance group in the country, was formed in the city in 1975. In March and April is the performance program from FID promoting contemporary dance in Belo Horizonte. The program presents groups from Belo Horizonte. For this project the priority invitations go to the shows created by groups and choreographers living in the city. The purpose is to take shows and other activities such as workshops, talks and video screenings to the less privileged regions of the city regarding access to cultural assets. Belo Horizonte is also host to the Centro Mineiro de Danças Clássicas school.
Under the leadership of the then mayor of city, Juscelino Kubitschek, arquitects and artists such as Oscar Niemeyer, landscaper Burle Marx, and painter Candido Portinari, started here a type of modern architecture and art that has been greatly developed later with the construction of Brazil's new capital, Brasilia, also led by the now president Juscelino (aka JK)). It os at the Pampulha complex that one can see the routes of this new arquitecture movement.
The modern and protomodern arquitecture can also be seen all over Belo Horizonte, either in emblematic 1950's buildings such as Edificio Acaiaca, Conjunto JK, Hotel Amazonas [34] and former Hotel Excelsior,[35] all reflecting the modernity culture of the first planned capital of Brazil.
Tancredo Neves/Confins International Airport.

Inside of Metro.
Belo Horizonte is served by three airports:
Tancredo Neves/Confins International Airport, dedicated to domestic and international traffic. It is located in the municipalities of Lagoa Santa and Confins, 38 kilometres (24 mi) from Belo Horizonte, and was opened in January 1984. Plans for gradual expansion to meet growing demand had been already drawn up from the airport's inception. The airport has one of the lowest rates of shutdown for bad weather in the country. It ran at limited capacity until 2005, when a large proportion of Pampulha Airport air traffic was transferred to Confins.
Pampulha - Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport, dedicated to domestic traffic;
Carlos Prates Airport, dedicated to general aviation.
The city is connected to the rest of Minas Gerais state and the country by a number of roadways. Minas Gerais has the country's largest federal highway network.[36]
BR-040 connects Belo Horizonte to Rio de Janeiro (going south) and Brasília (going northwest). It also links other cities in the state, such as Juiz de Fora, Conselheiro Lafaiete, Barbacena, Sete Lagoas, and Paracatu.
BR-262 begins in Mato Grosso do Sul and ends in Espírito Santo, crossing Minas Gerais from west to east. It links Belo Horizonte to Pará de Minas, Araxá, Manhuaçu, Uberaba, Governador Valadares, and Vitória, the capital of Espírito Santo state.
BR-381 is an important federal highway. It connects Belo Horizonte to São Paulo.
MG-010 is a state highway that connects the capital to the Tancredo Neves International Airport, itself located in the municipalities of Confins and Lagoa Santa, which are part of the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte. Starting in 2005, several flights were transferred from the Pampulha Regional Airport to the international airport. To improve access to the international airport, MG-010 is being expanded (effectively duplicating its lanes).[37]
The city is also served by other minor roads such as state highways MG-020, MG-050, MG-030, and MG-433. There is also an East-West Express Way, which goes from the city to the nearby industrial centers of Contagem and Betim (together having a population of ca. 900,000), and Anel Rodoviário, a kind of "beltway" - indeed it is not circumferential, but connects many highways, such as the federal (BR-ones) so it is not necessary for a large number of cars and trucks to pass through the city center. Many of these roads are in poor condition, but in the last years many revitalization and rebuilding projects have been started.
The bus system has a large number of bus lines going through all parts in the city, and is administrated by BHTRANS. Among the upcoming projects are the expansion of the integration between bus lines and the metro, with integrated stations, many already in use. And the construction of bus corridors, with lanes and bus stops exclusively for the bus lines. Keeping buses from traffic congestions, making the trips more viable for commuters.
Belo Horizonte Metro or MetroBH started operating at the end of the 1970s. There is one line, with 19 stations, from Vilarinho to Eldorado Station, in Contagem, transporting over 160,000 people daily. The current projects of expansion include Line 2, linking the existing Calafate Station to the region of Barreiro. And Line 3, from the city's main bus terminal to Savassi economical district. Line 2 is planned to be overground (similar to the current line) and Line 3 is planned to be underground, passing through the city's financial centre, Praça Sete and Afonso Pena Avenue. Also, Line 1 is planned to be extended to Novo Eldorado Station.[38]
São Francisco de Assis Church in Pampulha Park.
Municipal Park of Belo Horizonte.
Belo Horizonte has several significant cultural landmarks, many of them situated in the Pampulha district, where there are notable examples of Brazilian contemporary architecture.[39]
Pampulha Park
The park area includes one of the largest soccer stadiums in the world, the Mineirão stadium, and the São Francisco de Assis Church, widely known as Igreja da Pampulha, designed by Brazilian Modernist architect Oscar Niemeyer. In Pampulha there is also the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais campus, whose buildings themselves are important contributions to the city's architecture. Other notable buildings include the Mesbla and Niemeyer buildings, in addition to the headquarters of corporations such as Usiminas, Seculus, and Telemig Celular.[40]
In the downtown area, landmarks include the church of São José, the Praça da Estação (Station Square), which is an old train station that now is also the Museum of Arts and Workmanship, the Municipal Park, the famous Sete de Setembro Square, where an obelisk built in 1922 marks the one hundred years of Brazilian independence from Portugal.[41]
Near Central the area, in the Lourdes neighborhood, the Lourdes Basilica, is an example of Gothic Revival style. The Nossa Senhora de Fátima Church, in Santo Agostinho neighborhood, is situated in Carlos Chagas Square. Both churches are referred to as the Assembléia Church and the Assembléia Square because of their proximity to the state's legislative assembly.
Next to the downtown region is the famous Savassi district, known for fine restaurants and as a center of cultural events as well as the best of the city's nightlife. Many landmarks are located there, such as the Praça da Liberdade (Liberty Square), and its surrounding buildings, including the former Executive Offices of the governor called the Palácio da Liberdade (Liberty Palace), the first building to be finished during the city's planned development in the late 1890s. The government offices moved to the "Cidade Administrativa" in 2010. This complex is made by a few massive buildings just outside the city. Nowadays, the "palaces" are being turned into museums. Still on Savassi, the meeting point of many social groups, especially the youth, is "Praça da Savassi" (Savassi Square), which is not exactly a square, and more a crossing between two major avenues (Getúlio Vargas and Cristóvão Colombo), and gathers some of the busiest bars and pubs (called locally "botecos" or "botequins") in town.
Another important landmark is Praça do Papa (Pope's Square), located at a high point south of the downtown area, with its great view of the entire city. It is named for the July 1st, 1980, visit by John Paul II, who held a youth mass there. The nearby Parque das Mangabeiras (Mangabeiras Park) features extensive wildlife, and-owing to its considerable size-has its own bus service, which operates solely within the confines of the park.
On Sundays, Afonso Pena Avenue hosts Latin America's biggest open-air market. This is the Market of Arts and Handicrafts, most commonly known as Feira Hippie (hippie fair). Every Sunday morning 70,000 visitors find food, drinks, clothes, furniture, earrings, shoes and almost anything else.[42]

Zoological Park and Botanical Garden
A center for conservation and preservation of animals and plants it has also developed environmental education projects. The Zoo, which encompasses a total area of 1.4 million square meters, is located at the Foundation's headquarters and is regarded as one of the most complete in Latin America. It has a collection of close to 900 animals representing 200 species, from Brazil and other parts of the world, as well as the first public butterfly sanctuary in South America.
Pampulha Ecological Park is administered by the Zoo-Botanical Foundation of Belo Horizonte and was inaugurated in May 21 of 2004. It's 30 acres (12 ha) of green area that offers to the population and the tourists a permanent programming of environmental, cultural and patrimonial education.
The human development of Belo Horizonte varies greatly by locality, reflecting the city's spatial social inequality and vast socioeconomic inequalities. There are neighborhoods that had very high human development indexes in 2000 (equal to or greater than the indexes of some Scandinavian countries), but those in the lower range (in line with, for example, North Africa).[43]
Highest-scoring neighborhoods and localities
Carmo/Sion (0.973): greater than Iceland - 0.968; Cruzeiro/Anchieta/Funcionários (0.970): greater than Iceland - 0.968; Grajau/Gutierrez (0.965): greater than Australia - 0.962; Belvedere/Mangabeiras/Comiteco (0.964): greater than Australia - 0.962; Serra/São Lucas (0.953): equal to Japan, Netherlands - 0.953.
Food as a right
In 1993, under mayor Patrus Ananias de Souza, the city started a series of innovations based on its citizens having the "right to food". These include, for example, creating farmers' markets in the town to enable direct sales and regularly surveying market prices and posting the results across the city.[44] The city's process of participatory budgeting was linked with these innovations, as a result of which the infant mortality rate was reduced by 50% in a decade.[45][46] There is some evidence that these programs have helped support a higher quality of life for the local farmers partnering with the city and that this may be having positive effects on biodiversity in the Atlantic rainforest around the city.[46][47] The city's development of these policies garnered the first "Future Policy Award" in 2009, awarded by the World Future Council, a group of 50 activists (including Frances Moore Lappé, Vandana Shiva, Wes Jackson, and Youssou N'Dour[48]) concerned with the development and recognition of policies to promote a just and sustainable future.
Vila Viva
The city has undertaken an internationally heralded project called Vila Viva ("Living Village" in Portuguese) that promises to "urbanize" the poorest areas (favelas), relocating families from areas with high risk of floods and landslides but keeping them in the same neighborhood, paving main avenues to allow public transportation, police and postal service to have access. All the work is done with 80% of locals, reducing unemployment and increasing family income.[49][50] Former mayor Fernando da Mata Pimentel was nominated for World Mayor in 2005 on the strength of these and other programs.[49]
Mineirão
As in the rest of Brazil, football is the most popular sport. The city's major teams are Atlético Mineiro, Cruzeiro and América Mineiro.
The city also has one of the biggest football stadiums in the world, the Mineirão, which opened in 1965. The older Independência Stadium was the site of a legendary World Cup victory in 1950, when the United States beat England in a 1–0 win.[51]
Mineirão, officially called Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto, was built to provide the city of Belo Horizonte with a larger alternative for Independência Stadium, then the prime venue of the city. The stadium was meant to become the most modern stadium of Brazil and the new home of Atlético Mineiro and Cruzeiro. Construction took almost five years, and on the 5th of September 1965 Mineirão officially opened. Mineirão hardly changed in the following decades, and in the 1990s still had its original capacity. When Brazil won their bid to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup, it was clear that Mineirão needed to undergo a large redevelopment.
Independência Stadium.
The project included the complete reconstruction of the bottom tier, an extension of the roof, and further refurbishments to upgrade the stadium to FIFA standards. Building works took a total of three years, and were completed in December 2012. The first match at the reopened Mineirão was played on the 3rd of February 2013 with a state championship match between Cruzeiro and Atlético. While Cruzeiro agreed on a lease to play the next 25 years at Mineirão, Atlético have not yet come to an agreement and will keep playing at Independência Stadium until doing so. Mineirão hosted a total of six matches during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, including one round of 16 match and the historical semifinal referred to as Mineirazo in which Brazil lost 1-7 against Germany. The stadium also was one of the playing venues of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.[52]

...Rapper and Bernie Sanders backer Cardi B said she would one day like to be a politician, declaring that "Just a couple of years of school" would help her to implement her innovative ideas in Congress.
...The 27-year-old added that she has "Sooo much ideas," and with a few years of formal education could bring major change to Congress.
..."I deadass have [sic] sooo much ideas that make sense. I just need a couple of years of school and I can shake the table."
...It's also worth mentioning her disdain for police - Cardi B told the New York Police Department last summer to "Motherfucking suck a fart and suffocate on it" - and she's got no love for supporters of President Donald Trump; she was invited to a Democratic event in Iowa after calling Trump supporters "Fucking racist rednecks."
...Cardi B has expressed skepticism as to whether any Democratic candidate can defeat Trump in this year's presidential election given the loyalty of his supporter base.

Supercar group McLaren to cut 1,200 jobs across group amid COVID-19 pandemic
ECONOMY Reuters
British Formula 1 team and supercar maker McLaren said Tuesday it plans to cut 1,200 jobs after the coronavirus crisis hit sales. "We deeply regret the impact that this restructure will have on all our people, but especially those whose jobs may be affected," the group's executive chairman Paul Walsh said in a statement.
British supercar manufacturer McLaren Group, which includes the Formula One team, said on Tuesday it would cut 1,200 jobs under a proposed restructuring programme as it deals with the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The move is expected to impact jobs across the group's applied technology, automotive and racing businesses, the company said in a statement.
The cancellation of motorsport events, the suspension of manufacturing and retail activities around the world and reduced demand for technology solutions have hurt the group's revenue generating activities, the company added.
"It is a course of action we have worked hard to avoid, having already undertaken dramatic cost-saving measures across all areas of the business. But we have no other choice but to reduce the size of our workforce," Executive Chairman Paul Walsh said.
The job cuts represent more than a quarter of the group's workforce of just over 4,000, according to Sky News, which first reported the news. The group is majority owned by Bahrain's sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat.
McLaren were the first Formula One team to furlough staff in April because of the pandemic. They have a headcount of just over 800 people, which is expected to be reduced by around 70.
Formula One is due to introduce a $145 million budget cap next year as the sport seeks to cut costs and help the 10 teams survive.
McLaren are the second most successful team after Ferrari in the sport's history and gave Mercedes' six-times world champion Lewis Hamilton his debut in 2007.
They finished fourth in 2019 and have just signed Australian Daniel Ricciardo to partner Britain's Lando Norris in 2021.
Sky News reported on May 14 that McLaren was seeking to raise up to 275 million pounds ($339.57 million) by borrowing against its Woking headquarters and collection of historic racing cars.

Race Review: Orange Ribbon Run 2015 [10 km] (by 'Ah Girl') | JustRunLah!
OnePeople.sg's Orange Ribbon Celebrations aims to rally the community in one voice and make a stand against racism. The Orange Ribbon Run is their signature event where people of all races gather and have fun through running, thereby promoting the values of friendship, mutual understanding and racial and religious harmony.
Being Singaporeans, we have seen how important it is have a society where everyone respects and receives equal rights regardless of their race or religious beliefs.
I reached the Velocity early and so there were not much of a queue and race pack collection was done smoothly. The staff were friendly and made sure that the tracking device on your bib is working by asking you to check against the TV screen for your name and bib number as the device was being scanned. The portable cutlery set has got to be the most interesting item yet!
The flag-off timing for 10km was at 4pm and I felt that it was an unfavorable time since the sun was still out on full blast and the recent haze situation made it worse. I was already dripping with sweat even before the race started and being a night run/early morning run person, I knew this race is going to be a tough one for me. Perhaps next year they could choose either a morning or late evening flag-off timing because there were multiple cases of heatstroke.
The 10km race route mainly includes multiple scenic attractions of Marina Bay such as the Marina Bay Sands, Gardens By the Bay, Marina Barrage and Singapore Flyer. I started off my 1st km with a pretty decent pace of 4:10 despite tripping and almost falling as a runner with super long strides went diagonally across my path.
The 2km mark was when my pace started going downhill as we advanced upwards the Marina Barrage. It felt as if half of my energy had been drained in addition to constant dehydration from the heat. The path upwards was rather narrow as well but runners were rather considerate in sticking to one side.
As I proceeded with the following distances, effects of the heat just kicked in on and off; from occasional headaches to constant eye irritation from sweat dripping from my forehead, to muscle cramps. I had no choice but to stop twice and walk, hop for a few steps and tried my best to complete the race.
Distance markers were well-marked and the race route was moderately flat after the 2km mark. The last 1km towards the finishing line was slightly confusing because there were some small zig-zag stairs and the ending point was further than I thought.
Hydration stations were visible and drinks in the form of pH alkaline water were served in paper cups but they were not chilled. Or perhaps they were but the heat just made it warm? Well, it would be nice if they had isotonic drinks that could provide some form of electrolyte source for the super dehydrated and drained participants.
I am not sure who else experienced this but the baggage collection took longer than usual and the deposit area was quite chaotic and in a mess. Participants were getting impatient as they were tired and exhausted from the race and heat, while volunteers were at lost and frantic in trying to attend to everyone's requests. Hopefully the volunteers can act more efficiently and organize the baggage in a way that is easier to search for in the next year's race. In any case, I still appreciate the volunteers' time and assistance put into this event.
I seldom run in the sun as I am only able to train for runs after work or early in the morning. As such, this was a pretty challenging race and though I didn't manage to do exceptionally well, I am still glad that I pushed myself to complete it anyway! Congratulations to all podium finishers and participants in this meaningful race. It was full of runners from all ethnicity, culture and nationalities!
The weather is an element that is not within the control of any race organiser and the only thing they can do is to either improve the welfare on race day to ease and prevent heatstroke or related physical effects of heat, or to completely change the race flag-off timing for future race events to minimize such cases.
Nonetheless, it was a heartening sight and experience to run alongside with people from all races and backgrounds and the post-race expo was quite fun as well, with cultural performances and activities. Hope everyone had a good time and well done for conquering yet another race in Singapore's running calendar!
A good writeup. Yes I agree with you that the weather was super hot yesterday. Also I had to wait for more than half an hour at the baggage collection station. I hope the organizer will improve the arrangement for next year event.

I've removed DeptID, Method, and Life from the results, so that they would fit here.

A: TLDR
Get rid of the sum to get find the correct total cost pc.COST * pc.QUANTITY AS Total_Cost,
Problem
It looks like your query is returning multiple results and then the group by is grouping them into one line. The sum is then adding all of the results together to give you the unexpected results.
Let me elaborate to make this a little bit more clear. Your tables most likely have more columns than the ones that you have selected. Even if just one table has more columns than you have selected, you may have multiple result rows. Let's just focus on PS_ASSET. I know PS_ASSET has the columns BUSINESS_UNIT, ASSET_ID, DESCR, and IN_SERVICE_DT. Let's say it also has the column ASSET_COLOR.
Example
Next, let's give PS_ASSET some fake data. Maybe the table looks like this:

BUSINESS_UNIT | ASSET_ID     | DESCR   | IN_SERVICE_DT | ASSET_COLOR
A0057         | 000000000020 | Vehicle | Equipment     | Red
A0057         | 000000000020 | Vehicle | Equipment     | Blue

Because of the color, your results table would actually look like this:

A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment     50    1      50     4.16     8.33    red
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment     50    1      50     4.16     8.33    blue
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment     50    1      50    43.75    87.5     red
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment     50    1      50    43.75    87.5     blue
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment   1000    1    1000     4.16     8.33    red
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment   1000    1    1000     4.16     8.33    blue
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment   1000    1    1000    43.75    87.5     red
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment   1000    1    1000    43.75    87.5     blue
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment    100    2     200     4.16     8.33    red
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment    100    2     200     4.16     8.33    blue
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment    100    2     200    43.75    87.5     red
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment    100    2     200    43.75    87.5     blue

Example Results
However, your select statement does not include the ASSET_COLOR and your group by doesn't either. So, the rows with red and blue are grouped together and the sum part of sum(pc.COST * pc.QUANTITY) adds the COST*QUANTITY together. The select and group by of your query applied to the above table would result in:

A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment     50    1     100     4.16     8.33
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment     50    1     100    43.75    87.5
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment   1000    1    2000     4.16     8.33
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment   1000    1    2000    43.75    87.5
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment    100    2     400     4.16     8.33
A0057   000000000020    Vehicle Equipment    100    2     400    43.75    87.5

Finding Correct Results
Moral of the story, remove the sum and you should get what you are expecting
SELECT pa.BUSINESS_UNIT,
pc.DEPTID,
pa.ASSET_ID,
pa.DESCR,
pa.IN_SERVICE_DT,
pc.COST,
pc.QUANTITY,
pc.COST * pc.QUANTITY AS Total_Cost,
pb.METHOD,
pb.LIFE,
pdr.DEPR,
pdr.DEPR_LTD

Summing Results
So now that you have the correct information for the total_Cost column, what if you really do want to sum up all of that information? Well, because of the reasons above, we can't just add a sum() to the front of that column, but we will need to use the sum() function and a subquery.
Changing the query into a subquery essentially allows you to work with the columns of the results table and ignore the table structure of the tables you were previously working with. What this means is we can then sum up the total values.
Query
SELECT p.BUSINESS_UNIT,
p.DEPTID,
p.ASSET_ID,
p.DESCR,
p.IN_SERVICE_DT,
p.COST,
p.QUANTITY,
sum(p.Total_Cost)
p.METHOD,
p.LIFE,
p.DEPR,
p.DEPR_LTD

From ( --Your previous Query Here)

Group by p.BUSINESS_UNIT,
        p.DEPTID,
        p.ASSET_ID,
        p.DESCR,
        p.IN_SERVICE_DT,
        p.COST,
        p.QUANTITY,
        p.METHOD,
        p.LIFE,
        p.DEPR,
        p.DEPR_LTD

If the data from the Example Results section was used, this query would return the exact same results as above. This is because there are no duplicate rows in the query. All of the values from each of the rows must be identical in order for the summing to occur EXCEPT for any rows in an aggregate function. What is an aggregate function? Sum is one example, min and max are other examples of this. So, every column in the select must either be in an aggregate function or the group by clause for this to work.

A: replace this part
sum(pc.COST * pc.QUANTITY) AS Total_Cost

by
(sum(pc.COST) * sum(pc.QUANTITY)) AS Total_Cost

normally this work better

Q: Compilation error when using class template parameter in lambda I'm trying to recreate some of the behavior of C#'s delegate types in C++, and I'm running in to a particular error when compiling- here is the relevant code:
struct Nil { };

// Represents a C# Func
template <typename returnType = void,
          typename T1 = Nil,
          typename T2 = Nil,
          typename T3 = Nil>
class Func
{
public:
    vector<function<returnType(T1, T2, T3)>> _funcs;

    void operator+=(returnType (*functionPointerToAdd)(T1))
    {
        auto myFunc = [&] ( returnType (*functionPointerToAdd)(T1) )
                     -> returnType (*)(T1, T2, T3)
                     { functionPointerToAdd(T1); };
        // add myFunc to the vector of functions...
    }
};

What I'm trying to do is wrap a function pointer in a closure whose signature matches the full template type of the class (effectively "throwing away" the values set to 'Nil'). The error I'm getting is:
error C2275: 'T1' : illegal use of this type as an expression

I'm using MSVC10, and I tried typedef'ing the template variables as per Accessing a class template parameter type inside a member function with a lambda fails, to no avail. I realize there are a couple of issues with this particular implementation that I'll run into down the line but aside from that, I'm just curious as to why I can't use the class' template parameters in the lambda statement.

A: I think you still have the 0x syntax slightly messed up.
auto myFunc = [&] ( returnType (*functionPointerToAdd)(T1) ) -> returnType (*)(T1, T2, T3) { functionPointerToAdd(T1); };

This line is the problem. Let's pull it apart:
auto myFunc = [&]

This creates a local variable of undefined type that receives a lambda (which is fine) and starts a lambda, that takes the function pointer by reference. The pointer is going to go away, better make it a [=] for simplicity (you'll copy a full pointer more - no biggie).
( returnType (*functionPointerToAdd)(T1) )

This is the arguments to the lambda. This means that the lambda should be called (!) with a function pointer of the type returnType(*)(T1). That's not what you want - you want it to be called with T1, T2, T3.
-> returnType (*)(T1, T2, T3)

This defines the return type of the lambda - and only that. You're now saying that it has to return a function pointer, to a function returning a returnType and taking a T1, T2 and T3 as argument. The lambda type would then be
(returnType(*)(T1, T2, T3)) (*)(returnType(*)(T1))

, or a function that takes a function pointer as argument and that returns a function pointer. Yes, it's overly complex and unreadable.
{ functionPointerToAdd(T1); };

This finally is the contents of the lambda and the reason for your error. You're passing the type T1 as argument to the function pointer.
Suggestion for fixing it (as the syntax is horribly complex - I hope the above text will help you with why I changed what:
auto myFunc = [=] ( T1 arg, T2, T3 ) -> returnType { return functionPointerToAdd(arg); }

Feel free to ask why & how.

A: I think the error is exactly what the compiler says: your call functionPointerToAdd(T1) doesn't make sense. T1 is a type, not a variable. Your lambda only takes a function pointer as an argument, but no actual object to call the function with!
Also, what's the lambda supposed to return? If its only purpose is to return functionPointerToAdd(...), shouldn't its return type just be returnType?
Maybe something like this (but I don't understand your requirements fully):
typedef returnType (*myFP)(T1);

auto myFunc = [] (myFP f, const T1 & t) -> returnType { return f(t); };

I'm also getting rid of the "capture everything by reference" ([&]) because you don't seem to be using any non-local variables.
Edit: Oh wait, I see, you want to add myFunc to the vector. So you want to bind your given pointer to a lambda whose body consists of calling the function. OK, let's see:
void operator+=(myFP f)
{
  auto myFunc = [f] (T1 t, T2, T3) -> returnType { return f(t); };
  the_vector.push_back(myFunc);
}

But I doubt that you can do that, because lambdas that capture from the environment are not convertible to naked function pointers, I believe. We really need a proper function object for your situation, methinks.

As the festive season lands on us again, it's likely that most of our minds will have turned to celebrate the big day. While it might be tempting to look for less traditional options, such as eating in front of a new DVD or heading out to an exotic location, recent studies show that you and your child could actually be happiest with a traditional Christmas sit-down, complete with all possible family.
Research into attitudes to a family dinner and how often these are put into practice, by dining experts Furniture Village show the disparity between what we know is good for our children's development over the festive season—and how often we're able to put them into practice amid the rigors of daily life. To help families across the country have the best possible Christmas dinner, whatever their situation, they've teamed up with family therapist Dr Reenee Singh and nutritionist Samantha Paget for expert tips on how to make Christmas dinner productive and engaging, without being disruptive.
Academic research has demonstrated that eating together at the dining table can be hugely beneficial to children. Not only has it been shown to boost children's vocabulary more than being read aloud to, but, for school going children, family dinners have shown to deliver better performance in school than doing homework, playing sports or doing art.
Undoubtedly, eating a traditional Christmas dinner round the table and having a positive interaction with family members of all ages, are associated with stronger and more positive feelings that can overpower the tendency to overeat. This is confirmed by some recent studies suggesting that eating in the kitchen or at the dining room table and remaining at the table until everyone is finished eating are both associated with lower BMIs for parents and children. For anyone already conscious of a tendency to over-prepare or over-eat on Christmas Day, this could be the answer to our prayers!
This behavior may also be related to less distracted eating or less supervised eating. Furthermore, eating together as a family more often is associated with a higher intake of nutrients linked to improved health—such as fruits and vegetables—and a lower intake of items that are recommended only in limited amounts (e.g., soft drinks, fried foods).
The latest survey into family eating habits, however, has revealed an ambivalent relationship with Christmas meals and nutrition. When asked where they enjoyed eating the most, one in three respondents chose the traditional dinner table (top preference). 70% even went to argue that family relationships are positively affected by a traditional Christmas meal, as are a child's development (38%) and general mental health (28%).
However, what works in theory does not always translate in practice. The survey, commissioned by furniture retailer Furniture Village, highlighted that despite best intentions, reality differs from theory. Even when they acknowledged the benefits of eating around the dinner table, when asked why they didn't do so, the majority of UK families (41%) admitted to settling the kids in front of the TV while they ate. In fact, 54% of respondents admitted the preference for watching TV over conversations to be the top reason they don't eat regularly at the dining table, followed by time spent on phones and technology (42%) and late working hours.
Those who successfully had Christmas meals frequently managed to create a family mealtime culture. This helps to set the expectation that family members are there for meals, developing a structured mealtime routine (e.g., set the table, institute a regular time to eat each day) and communicates work and after-school schedules with family members.
Other parents indicated that a strategy they used to overcome resistance to attending Christmas meals was making meals enjoyable and minimizing mealtime stress. Techniques used to increase enjoyment and reduce stress included serving foods that children enjoy alongside traditional fare, getting children involved in food preparation and shopping before the big day and keeping mealtime conversation fun and interesting for the whole family, perhaps with Christmas cracker pulling or story-telling.
With just a few changes to the Christmas dinner routine, it is possible to create a fun festive event which reaps all the mental and physical developmental benefits for children and their parents.

Juan Manuel Sanz y Saravia (La Puebla de los Infantes, Sevilla, 30 de marzo de 1848-Sevilla, 19 de junio de 1919) fue sacerdote español, obispo de León y de Jaén.

 Biografía

Bautizado con el nombre de Juan Manuel Clímaco del Corazón de Jesús, era hijo de Francisco Sanz Santisteban, natural de Molinos de Razón, provincia de Soria, y a la sazón secretario del Ayuntamiento de La Puebla de los Infantes, y Ana María Saravia y León, natural de esta villa.

Poco sabemos sobre los primeros años del niño que, con el tiempo, llegaría a ser un importante hombre en la Iglesia española de comienzos del , con excepción de su pronta vinculación a las cosas de la iglesia quizá influido por la piedad reinante en su familia, en donde su tío Juan Bautista Saravia ejercía de sacristán de la parroquia.

Finalizada la primera enseñanza, marchó a Sevilla en 1862 para cursar estudios de Filosofía en el Instituto Provincial, único por aquel entonces en la capital hispalense, obteniendo en los exámenes de bachillerato la calificación de sobresaliente.

 El seminarista

El año 1868 fue un año clave en la vida de Juan Manuel Sanz y Saravia al quedar libre del servicio militar por excedente de cupo e ingresar en el Seminario Conciliar de Sevilla.

Durante los años que van de 1869 a 1874, Sanz y Saravia prosiguió sus estudios en el Seminario como alumno externo matriculado en la disciplina de Teología. A la vista de los resultados, no cabe duda de que fue un estudiante aventajado, siendo su calificación media en cada curso de meritissimus, o sea, la máxima nota contemplada.

Estudiando tercer curso recibió las órdenes menores de Tonsura y Grados, y en cuarto curso, las restantes órdenes, alcanzando el Presbiteriado el 25 de mayo de 1872 de manos del cardenal Luis de la Lastra.

En 1875 terminó los siete años de Teología y aún estudió dos cursos más de Cánones, también en el Seminario, con iguales notas. En 1879 finalizó sus estudios al recibir el título de doctor en Teología en el Seminario Central de Granada. Contaba en esos momentos la edad de 31 años.

 El sacerdote

Desde 1875 a 1881, Sanz y Saravia halló una tarea adecuada a sus aptitudes como predicador, a lo largo de siete cuaresmas consecutivas, por diversos pueblos de la Archidiócesis hispalense. Coincidió en estos viajes con el jesuita Padre Tarín, conocido más tarde como apóstol de Andalucía, y del que sería un gran admirador y protector.

Bajo el signo de la reforma teológica auspiciada por el Papa León XIII, se fundó en Sevilla el 28 de junio de 1880 la Academia de Santo Tomás de Aquino, cuyo fin expreso era la difusión del mensaje tomista, conciliador de fe y razón. En ella ingresó el 30 de enero de 1882, en calidad de académico de número, el doctor Sanz y Saravia, disertando en dos ocasiones. Esta institución, enfrentada desde su origen al Ateneo hispalense, tuvo una vida corta y desapareció en 1883, coincidiendo con la llegada del nuevo arzobispo, fray Zeferino González.

Paralelamente a esta introducción en los círculos católicos y eruditos de la capital sevillana, daba comienzo su periplo como sacerdote al ser designado, en mayo de 1881, cura ecónomo en la parroquia de San Juan, en Marchena, y arcipreste en el partido de esa misma localidad. Allí permaneció poco más de un año, pasando en septiembre de 1882 a la parroquia de San Gil, de Sevilla, junto a la capilla y Puerta de la Macarena, en la que ejerció durante siete años. Culminó su trayectoria al ser nombrado, previo concurso, párroco de San Nicolás de Sevilla el 30 de octubre de 1889. En esta parroquia ejerció su sacerdocio hasta 1905.

 El profesor del Seminario

En 1896 llegaba a la diócesis de Sevilla el cardenal Spínola y, con él, cobraba renovada importancia la propaganda católica. De este modo se fundaba, bajo su patrocinio, El Correo de Andalucía en 1901. También la enseñanza de los futuros sacerdotes era objeto de renovación: en agosto de 1897, el Seminario pasa a ser Universidad Pontificia de Sevilla y, en 1901, traslada su sede desde la calle Maese Rodrigo al Palacio de San Telmo.

Sanz y Saravia fue nombrado diputado de hacienda del Seminario y catedrático de la asignatura de Liturgia y Teología Pastoral en 1896. Un año más tarde cesó en la cátedra antedicha y fue designado catedrático de la asignatura Patrología y Elocuencia Sagrada, y al siguiente curso, además de esta materia, enseñaba Historia Eclesiástica. Ambas cátedras las siguió desempeñando hasta 1905. Con la renovación del Seminario en curso y como reconocimiento a su labor docente, fue nombrado examinador sinodal en 1902 y miembro del claustro de doctores de la Facultad de Filosofía de la Universidad Pontificia.

Su incansable actividad no se detenía en sus labores de párroco y profesor, llegando a desempeñar en estos años cargos honoríficos, tales como el de vocal de la Junta provincial de Beneficencia y el de presidente de la Junta de Reparación de casas rectorales, o de otra índole, como eran los de misionero apostólico (desde 1887) y confesor ordinario de dos conventos de religiosas.

 El obispo de León

Una carrera tan insigne no podía pasar desapercibida, y así fue como un 14 de diciembre de 1904 recibía una carta remitida por el Ministro de Gracia y Justicia, en la que se le ofrecía el obispado de León. Su respuesta inmediata fue decir no, confesando no sentirse capacitado para tan gran responsabilidad:

«No intérprete V. E. ésta mi confesión como un acto de mal entendida modestia, sino como la expresión sincera de la verdad tal y como mi conciencia me la dicta».

No obstante, también se explica esta negativa a alcanzar la dignidad episcopal desde las circunstancias personales del futuro obispo: hombre de 56 años, arraigado, querido y respetado en Sevilla, ciudad en la que transcurrió la mayor parte de su vida y a la que se sentía muy unido. Sólo la intervención posterior del nuncio apostólico le hizo cambiar de parecer. En este sentido, Sanz y Saravia nunca dejó de reconocer que su aceptación del cargo fue por obediencia.

Su nombramiento apareció publicado en la Gaceta de Madrid del 3 de enero de 1905, pero no llegó a León hasta el 27 de agosto. En la víspera de su viaje a tierras leonesas, el nuevo obispo tuvo un gesto cargado de emoción para sus paisanos y para él mismo: el 15 de agosto de ese año oficiaba misa pontifical en la Iglesia Parroquial de la Virgen de las Huertas. Al acto religioso, a decir del Boletín del Arzobispado de Sevilla, «acudió una numerosa concurrencia, predicando y confirmando —el obispo— a más de mil personas». No es difícil imaginar el ambiente festivo de aquellos días.

A partir de este momento, contamos con numerosos escritos de su pluma en forma de pastorales, cartas y circulares, publicados en los boletines eclesiásticos. A través de ellos podemos conocer su pensamiento y las dotes de orador que le adornaron.

Su actividad no desdecía a sus otras cualidades, y así predicaba casi a diario en la capital, a las comunidades religiosas, asociaciones, enfermos de hospitales, asilados y presos de la cárcel, a los que visitaba y socorría. También las visitas pastorales a los pueblos estaban selladas por su incansable quehacer, resultando ser verdaderas misiones.

 El obispo de Jaén

El 8 de enero de 1909, el obispo de León recibía un telegrama en el que se le consultaba acerca de si aceptaba el Obispado de Jaén. Esta vez se apresuró a responder afirmativamente y su nombramiento fue publicado en la Gaceta de Madrid de 9 de enero. Parece razonable pensar que un buen motivo para aceptar este cambio de diócesis estuvo en la aproximación geográfica que suponía a su amada tierra sevillana. Tomó posesión de la sede episcopal jiennense el día 4 de octubre, sucediendo a Juan José Laguarda y Fenollera .

Aquel mismo verano de 1909 había estallado en Barcelona la llamada "Semana Trágica", en la que el clero fue blanco de las iras de los revolucionarios que clamaban a favor de la justicia social y en contra de la guerra en Marruecos. Sanz y Saravia escribía en su pastoral de presentación al clero y fieles de su nueva Diócesis (12 de octubre de 1909):

Se mostró crítico en relación con la moral y costumbres de la sociedad de su tiempo, favorecidas por las libertades existentes, que el obispo prefería llamar "libertades de perdición". Pero la gran causa de esta situación no era otra, a su juicio, que la falta de instrucción religiosa imperante en la comunidad cristiana:

Fruto de esta preocupación por la formación religiosa de sus diocesanos, escribía en septiembre de 1913 sobre los medios legales que podían oponerse a un Real Decreto contra la enseñanza obligatoria del catecismo en las escuelas, instando a los párrocos para que "visitasen una vez cada semana las escuelas de su feligresía", al tiempo que les mandaba "fomentar y alentar el estudio de la carrera del magisterio, por cuantos medios sea posible, para llevar a las escuelas primarias y a las normales maestros y profesores de absoluta confianza por su fe y por su piedad...".La labor pastoral en su nueva Diócesis estuvo marcada, al igual que en León, por sus numerosas visitas a las poblaciones del Santo Reino, inaugurando en el transcurso de éstas la iglesia parroquial de la Asunción de Porcuna y el convento-colegio de la Compañía de María de Torredonjimeno. En la capital, inauguró la capilla mayor del Seminario y San Eufrasio. Promovió asimismo el ejercicio de la caridad entre sus fieles, reuniendo fondos para socorrer a los damnificados en la Guerra de África y en la I Guerra Mundial.

Su salud comenzó a debilitarse desde los primeros días de 1915, y el año siguiente una hemiplejía le imposibilita para el ejercicio de sus funciones y se traslada a Sevilla. En 1917 la diócesis quedó a cargo, provisionalmente, de Plácido Ángel Rey de Lemos, nombrado al efecto administrador apostólico.

Murió el 19 de junio de 1919 cuando contaba la edad de 71 años, siendo sepultado en la catedral hispalense, en el panteón de arzobispos del Sagrario. A su entierro asistieron el gobernador civil de la provincia, el alcalde de Sevilla, el delegado del Ministerio de Hacienda, un representante del capitán general y miembros de los cabildos catedralicios de Jaén y Sevilla, además de familiares y amigos.
