Brazil's giant offshore oil discoveries A key argument of "Peak-Oil" and "Fossil-Fuel" theorists is no new giant oilfield discoveries have been 3 made in recent years. Oil "experts" are locked into the belief that oil is a fossil fuel, and pretty soon we are bound to have found and drilled all the oil that ever 6 was. What about Brazil? The experience of Brazil's offshore drilling is proving that giant new oil fields are out there, waiting to be discovered, just off shore along the continental shelf. Petrobras, 9 Brazil's largest oil company is moving Brazil from being nearly 100 percent dependent on foreign oil imports only some 50 years ago, toward becoming a net oil exporter in the next few years. How? Brazil has realized spectacular results by developing the technology to drill 12 ultra-deep offshore wells in Brazil's Barracuda and Caratinga oil fields, in the Campos Basin some 50 miles into the Atlantic Ocean east of Rio de Janeiro.

Brain Rays For years cancer patients have had recourse to a noninvasive surgical technique in which doctors zap tumors with focused beams of radiation. The technology was first used on brain-cancer patients because doctors can easily clamp the head in 3 place, keeping the tumor rock steady. More recently the machines have gotten better at compensating for the patient's movement from breathing, say allowing doctors to treat tumors elsewhere in 6 the body. Now doctors at Korea's St. Mary's Hospital are using a device called CyberKnife, made by Accuray in Sunnyvale, California, to treat patients with severe depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Other doctors think the technique could be useful to treat 9 Parkinson's and epilepsy patients. Since the radiation creates permanent lesions in the brain, the method is controversial and may take years to win acceptance. ELLISON, Jesse. Brain Rays. Newsweek.

Tablets Are the Best Way to Show Textbooks Tablets are capable of offering enhanced ebooks featuring images, video and audio. These elements are impossible to include in print or in a standard ebook. Read about music? No thanks, I ll follow my auto-advancing sheet music as the audio plays. See a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr. as I read his I Have a Dream speech?

(UFC-2010) Brazil, the New Oil Superpower State-run Petrobras monstrous new oil find has wide-ranging implications for the South American country, the oil majors, oil services providers, and beyond. In a recent radio broadcast, Brazil s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said he s convinced a higher power has taken a shining to Brazil. That, he said, might explain the providence of state-run oil company Petrobras, whose colossal new oil discovery could transform Brazil from a barely selfsufficient producer into a major crude exporter. Petrobras announced Nov. 8 it has found between 5 billion and 8 billion barrels of light oil and gas at the Tupi field, 155 miles offshore southern Brazil in an area it shares with Britain s BG Group and Portugal s Galp Energy. Tupi is the world s biggest oil find since a 12 billion-barrel Kazakh field was discovered in 2000, and the largest ever in deep waters. Perhaps more important, Petrobras believes Tupi may be Brazil s first of several new elephants, an industry term for outsize fields of more than 1 billion barrels.

According to the text, it is correct to say that: a) State-run Petrobras new oil find has very few implications for the South American country, the oil majors, oil services providers. b) the new oil discovery will definitely transform Brazil from a barely self-sufficient producer into a major crude exporter. c) it is expected that Tupi is just the first of many other Brazilian outsize oil fields. d) Petrobras is the only company which is going to explore the reserve found. e) Tupi is the world's biggest oil find of all times. 35.

It is called swine flu because it is thought to have originated in pigs, but this is not certain. The most common symptoms are a fever, sore throat, diarrhea, headache, feeling generally unwell and a dry cough. In other words, the symptoms are very similar to seasonal (regular) flu. Most people recover within a week, even without special treatment. Pandemic The virus was first identified in Mexico in April It has since become a pandemic, which means it has spread around the globe. It has spread quickly because it is a new type of flu virus that few, if any, people have full resistance to. Flu pandemics are a natural event that occur from time to time. Last century, there were flu pandemics in 1918, 1957 and 1968, when millions of people died across the world. In most cases the virus has proved relatively mild. However, around the world more than 1,700 people have died and it is not yet clear how big a risk the virus is. For this reason, and because all viruses can mutate to become more potent (stronger), scientists are saying we need to be careful. High-risk groups Some people are more at risk of complications if they catch swine flu, and need to start taking antivirus as soon as it is confirmed that they have the illness. Doctors may advise some high-risk patients to take antivirus before they have symptoms, if someone close to them has swine flu. People at risk are: patients who have had drug treatment for asthma in the past three years, pregnant women, people aged 65 and over, and children under five. To stop the virus spreading The most important way is to have good respiratory and hand hygiene. In other words, always sneeze in to a tissue, and quickly put it in a bin.

While scientific progress on molecular biology has a great potential to increase our understanding of nature and provide new medical tools, it should not be used as justification to turn the environment into a giant genetic experiment by commercial interests. The biodiversity and environmental integrity of the world's food supply is too important to our survival to be put at risk. Genetic engineering (GE) enables scientists to create plants, animals and micro-organisms by manipulating genes in a way that

16 P á g i n a 84 does not occur naturally. These genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can spread through nature and interbreed with natural organisms, thereby contaminating non 'GE' environments and future generations in an unforeseeable and uncontrollable way. Their release is 'genetic pollution' and is a major threat because GMOs cannot be recalled once released into the environment. Because of commercial interests, the public is being denied the right to know about GE ingredientsin the food chain, and therefore losing the right to avoid them despite the presence of labelling laws in certain countries. Biological diversity must be protected and respected as the global heritage of humankind, and one of our world's fundamental keys to survival. Governments are attempting to address the threat of GE with international regulations such as the Biosafety Protocol. GMOs should not be released into the environment since there is not an adequate scientific understanding of their impact on the environment and human health. Greenpeace advocate immediate interim measures such as labelling of GE ingredients, and the segregation of genetically engineered crops and seeds from conventional ones. Greenpeace also oppose all patents on plants, animals and humans, as well as patents on their genes. Life is not an industrial commodity. When we force life forms and our world's food supply to conform to human economic models rather than their natural ones, we do so at our own peril.

Brazil as World s Sixth Largest Economy Brazil is set to become the world s sixth economy by the end of 2011, if projections by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and two leading economic consultancies, the EIU and the BMI, are correct. Brazil will overtake the United Kingdom, demoting it to the number seven spot and continuing a trend up the ranks of global economies after last year leaving Italy behind at number eight. According to the predictions, Brazil s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will reach US$2.44 trillion by the end of the year, narrowly outstripping the UK s which is set to reach US$2.43 trillion. Brazil s economy grew by 7.5 percent last year after minimal impact by the financial crisis which most countries had to weather in The Brazilian economy may not have boomed quite as much as was hoped this year, but it is still expected to grow by at least three percent, and is predicted to grow by a slightly higher 3.5 percent in This compares with growth in the UK of only 0.7 percent for this and next year. However, Brazil will have to enjoy sixth place while it lasts, as the EIU s projections also suggest Brazil will lose the number six spot to India in 2013; however, it will regain the position again in 2014 as it overtakes France. By 2020, Brazil should be moving up the table one more slot as it leaves behind European powerhouse Germany, by which point its economy will be bigger than that of any European country, and globally only China, the U.S., India and Japan will be bigger. The figures have not come as a surprise to analysts, whose extrapolations have predicted the rise in the Brazilian economy for years. However, they have arrived more quickly than many expected mainly due to the greater effects of the global financial crisis in other countries.

Brazil eases rules on conserving Amazon rainforest Brazil's Chamber of Deputies has voted to ease restrictions on the amount of land farmers must preserve as forest. The amended law also grants some amnesties for previous deforestation. Supporters say Brazil needs land to boost agricultural production, while environmentalists say destruction of the Amazon rainforest will increase. Wrangling over the final bill is likely, as Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff indicated she would veto any bill that contained an amnesty. After months of at times acrimonious debate, the Chamber of Deputies voted to overhaul the Forest Code, as the legislation is known. Under the current law, 80% of a farm in the Amazon must remain forested; in other areas, the requirement is lower, falling to 20%. However, in practice, the legislation has not been widely enforced. It is estimated that 20% of the Amazon, the world's biggest rainforest, has been

20 P á g i n a 88 cleared, mainly as a result of logging and farming. Under the new bill, small-scale landowners, who make up the majority of Brazil's farmers, will be exempt from having to replant deforested land. The legislation must now go to the Senate and then to President Rousseff, but her spokesman said she would veto any legislation that included the amnesty. Other changes include allowing the use of previously excluded areas such as hilltops and slopes for some kinds of cultivation; reducing the amount of land that must be left intact along the banks of rivers and streams from 30m (100ft) to 15m (50ft) and; allowing farmers to count forest alongside rivers and lakes on their land as part of their conserved area, so reducing the total amount of land they need to protect or reforest The changes were proposed by Aldo Rebelo form Brazil's Communist Party (PCdoB), who argued that the existing rules prevented small farmers from making best use of their land to lift themselves out of poverty. Farmers' groups backed the changes, saying Brazil, as one of the biggest exporters of soy, beef and sugar, needed to boost food production in times of high commodity prices. "None of the world's large farm producers that compete with Brazil - the United States, Europe, China, Argentina and Australia - obliges its producers to preserve any forest," the National Agriculture Confederation (CNA) said. Philip Fearnside of the National Institute of Amazon Research (INPA) said the amnesty would "legalise the illegal". "People believe they can deforest illegally because sooner or later all will be forgiven," he told the Associated Press. But CNA Vice President Assuero Veronez said the changes would not increase deforestation. "We do not have to cut down one single tree. We can increase agricultural output in already deforested areas," he told AP.

School Curriculum Falls Short on Bigger Lessons By Tara PARKER-POPE Now that children are back in the classroom, are they really learning the lessons that will help them succeed? Many child development experts worry that the answer may be no. They say the ever-growing emphasis on academic performance and test scores means many children aren t developing life skills like self-control, motivation, focus and resilience, which are far better predictors of long-term success than high grades. And it may be distorting their and their parents values. In one set of studies, children who solved math puzzles were praised for their intelligence or for their hard work. The first group actually did worse on subsequent tests, or took an easy way out, shunning difficult problems. The research suggests that praise for a good effort encourages harder work, while children who are consistently told they are smart do not know what to do when confronted with a difficult problem or
