At least 25 Brazilian companies are going to participate in the 10th edition of the United Arab Emirates International Dental Conference & Arab Dental Exhibition (AEEDC) to take place in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, between February 28 and March 02.
This will be the first time that Brazil will have a pavilion at the fair, according to Abdul Salam Al Madani, the managing director of Index Conferences & Exhibitions Organization, the event organizers. Al Madani is in Brazil participating in the 24th International Dentistry Congress in São Paulo, which ended Wednesday, February 1st, at the Anhembi Exhibition Pavilion. He is sharing a stand at the fair - in the sidelines of the congress - with Dubai Properties, a company in the real estate area in Dubai. "We have a partnership with the organizers of the event in São Paulo. For the last five years we have been promoting our fairs at theirs and theirs at ours," stated Al Madani. Up to last year, however, only Brazilian individual company participation had taken place at the conference in the Emirates. According to the executive, in Dubai companies will be in contact with potential importers from various countries in the region. "There are 98,000 dentists registered in the region and we do not have industries turned to the sector, so all the material has to be imported," he said. The executive added that Brazilian companies that produce dentistry equipment and material have great possibilities of winning a good share of the market. "Brazilian industries have good products and competitive prices," he declared. Currently, according to him, the main suppliers in the region are Germany, the United States and Italy. According to Al Madani, AEEDC should count on 450 exhibitors from 63 countries. "Apart from that, the fair usually brings around 15,000 visiting professionals from 113 nationalities. It is one of the largest fairs in the sector in the region," he pointed out. Apart from the AEEDC, Index is going to promote a fair of emergency medicine products in April, as well as various other events in the health sector. "There are good opportunities for Brazil to sell ambulances, for example," stated the executive. Anba - www.anba.com.br

The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area. 
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy. 
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil. 
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms. 
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis. 
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking. 
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse. 
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose. 
The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj). 
A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
