Struggling Automakers Find Open Road in Brazil
There aren't many bright spots in the global auto industry – so
when carmakers find one, they go all in. With ebbing demand
in the United States, and subsidies propping up Japan's industry
set to expire, the real bright spot is Brazil. In 2003 the country
was the world's 10 th -largest car market; this year it is on pace
to surpass Germany as No. 4. By 2014, demand is forecast
to hit 4 million new cars per year. Sensing opportunity, Asian
auto companies are leading a surge of investment. Toyota is
building its second Brazilian factory for $600 million, due in
2012, the same year the country's first Hyundai-owned plant
will come on line. China's Chery Automobile Co. Ltd. is also
investing $700 million to open its first factory there. Together,
the three plants will create more than four hundred thousand
new vehicles a year.

The goal is to take market share from current giants
like Volkswagen, Ford, and GM, which have themselves
pledged to pour at least $8 billion into Brazil by 2015. In
spite of the global recession, Brazil has had relatively
low unemployment and ample credit for an expanding
middle class, says Julian Semple, a senior consultant
for Carcon Automotive, a Brazil-based consulting firm.
Tax laws also favor setting up shop in-country, to avoid
a 35 percent federal tax on most imports. And hosting
the world's two largest sporting events, the 2014 World
Cup and 2016 Olympics – plus building the massive infrastructure
projects they require – is a near-guarantee of
continued growth. For automakers, the road to recovery
may run through Brazil.

09) As décadas de 1970 e de 1980 marcaram as grandes transformações
por que passaria a biologia com as descobertas da organização
do funcionamento e da variação do material genético dos
seres vivos.
Desse conhecimento decorreram tecnologias que permitiram, a partir
de organismos diferentes, novas combinações, em laboratório, de
material genético estabelecendo-se, assim, um princípio de intervenção
humana capaz de, pela substituição das fronteiras naturais entre
variedades de espécies e, potencialmente entre as próprias espécies,
estabelecer fronteiras tecnológicas tendentes mais à uniformidade
do que à biodiversidade característica do planeta.
