When did rio stop being capital of Brazil?
Well, since long, long ago, some Brazilian "good visionaries" (if we can use this term regarding politicians...) intended to find a way to settle a central government near the centre of its territory. After many dreams, one president, only in 1960, got to do, as Brasilia was then yet built, having been artificially planned in the middle of a forest (or of nothing, as some folks say) in the heart of the country, and there was no disappointment properly, as that area/region soon developed more or less, and many people left their native towns and states, from several regions, and went to live there. Rio de Janeiro still is a well-beloved city, but everybody seems like accepting Brasília as a good reality (despite its distance from Rio and many other towns and cities), and the latter now is a most populated city too.
Actually it was in the 1950's

Soils
The soil for planting the pineapple should be medium-textured or sandy, well drained, preferably flat or low slope, water table depth exceeding 90 cm and pH in the range of 4.5 to 5.5. The soil should not be subject to flooding. Clay soils can also be used provided it has good aeration and drainage.
Soil Preparation
Soil preparation should be in the conventional plowing and disking. You should avoid soils that have been planted with pineapple in the last harvest. If not, should make the incorporation of the material to the soil or in areas with high incidence of pests and diseases, it is the burning of crop residues.
Correction of Acidity
Despite being known as pineapple plant resistant to soil acidity, liming is recommended in order to provide primarily magnesium, important nutrient for plant development. The amount of lime should be recommended according to soil analysis, taking care not to raise the soil pH values above the ideal range of culture (4.5 to 5.5), because this will lead reducing the availability of certain nutrients to the culture and foster the development of fungi to pineapple like fungi of the genus Phytophthora. It is recommended to perform the setting with about 30 to 90 days prior to planting.
Planting Season
On dry land crops, it is recommended to plant at the end of the dry season and early rainy season. In irrigated crops, the planting can be done throughout the year.

Brazil is located in the western, northern and southern hemispheres. The Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn pass through Brazil. It covers almost 50 percent of South America. The longitude and latitude of Brazil are 10 degrees South and 55 degrees West. The land is divided into four hemispheres the north, south, east (east) and west (West).
Each country has at least q be located in both hemispheres.
The equator divides the planet into north and south and meridian of greenwitch in east and west.
As the equator runs through our country, one part is in the northern hemisphere while the other south. Now with regard to the east and west, our territory is located entirely on the west side.
So Brazil is located in the western hemisphere (west) and north and south.

Why is Curitiba Brazil the cleanest city in the world?
Curitiba, Southern Brazil, is considered one of the cleanest cities of the country because of two main reasons:
1. The garbage policy:
Citizens separate their trash into two categories, organic and non-organic, which is collected by two sets of trucks so that there is no mixing. Poor families in squatter settlements, unreachable by trucks, bring their trash bags to a neighbourhood centre where they can exchange the trash for bus tickets or food.

2. Transportation:
Core to the city's unique transport system is the bus service: 1 100 buses make 12 500 trips a day serving 1,3 million passengers. The buses are express buses that operate on dedicated busways; rapid buses that operate on the busways and other city streets; bi-articulated buses also for rapid transport but using high-capacity lanes; inter-district buses and feeder buses.
