Brazil takes on the European Refugee Crisis

In 2016 significantly less refugees_____in Europe than the year before. The Organization for Migration and the EU border agency Frontex have reported a notable decline in the number of migrants arriving on Europe's shores by nearly two-thirds. These numbers, however, are by no means an indication of improvement in the international situation of refugees.

It's evident that something has to change in the international mindset to bring an end to the enduring human rights violations concerning millions of people. Surprisingly, a potential wind of change has come from Brazil, a country facing a deep economic and political crisis.

Brazil is one of the biggest recipients of refugees in Latin America. In 2013 they introduced a humanitarian visa program for Syrians, processing 8.450 humanitarian visas on basis of which more than 2.000 Syrian refugees have already settled in Brazil. Brazil has several reasons to pursue a recipient immigration policy. Receiving immigrants from all over the world helps to boost the country’s international reputation and to turn around its negative image regarding a high crime rate and an even higher external debt. Immigrants in Brazil also seem to be perceived as less as a (financial) burden than in many European countries.

Inside Lilium, The World’s First Vertical Takeoff And

Landing Private Jet

Wonder what’s in store for the future of private jet flying? Here’s a glimpse. A start-up company - hosted in a European Space Agency (ESA) business incubator center in Bavaria - released an idea for an egg-shaped two-seater plane called Lilium that’s currently in the works. With a top speed of 250 mph and a range of 300 miles, the plane can travel roughly between Munich and Berlin in about 90 minutes. And according to the ESA, if testing succeeds, this _____the world’s first vertical takeoff and landing private jet.

The project came about when Daniel Wiegand - one of the four founders of Lilium - wanted to realize flying for the masses in a fast, inexpensive, efficient and eco-friendly way. ‘Our goal is to develop an aircraft that doesn’t need the complex and expensive infrastructure of an airport, can be used close to urban areas, and doesn’t produce too much noise and pollution,’ he said. So to produce this new class of airplanes that could take off and land vertically anywhere with a surface area of 250 square feet by 2018, Wiegand and his team in Germany came up with a design using electric engines and incorporated movable fan turbines.

The birds and the bees

My little boy came in the other day with a really serious look on his face and said, ‘Dad, do you mind if I ask you a question? Where do I come from?’ I’d been dreading this question for ages, but like a good father, I sat him down and gently told him all about the birds and the bees. When I’d finished, he was very quite. He then got up and went, ‘thank you, Dad’ and headed for the door. I said, ‘So what made you ask me?’ and he turned around and said, ‘I just want to know, because Bobby next door says HE comes from Manchester!’

JetBlue ... The crisis? Never heard of it...

The domestic air transport market in the USA must seem highly unstable to newcomers, including low-cost carriers. Of the 82 airlines formed in ten years ____ followed deregulation in 1978, only two have survived - America West and Mid-west Express. Statistics show that three-quarters of all projects never even get off the ground and that most of the others crash in less than five years.

Paradoxically, Southwest Airlines, the No.1 success story in the US air transport today, was founded before deregulation (in 1972), though it did take advantage of it. Many of those who tried to imitate the Southwest model came to grief. Not JetBlue,______just four years after it was formed is continuing to grow at a spectacular rate.

The practical impacts of climate change can be hard to predict _____ the large scales of time and geography over which changes are occurring. But more frequent jolts in midair could be one way in which individuals will soon literally feel the effects.

A new scientific study says that severe turbulence could become two to three times more common later this century when there is twice as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

‘Our new study paints the most detailed picture yet of how aircraft turbulence will respond to climate change,’ says author Dr. Paul Williams. ‘Even the most seasoned frequent fliers may be alarmed at the prospect of a 149% increase in severe turbulence, which frequently hospitalizes air travelers and flight attendants around the world.’

Climate change is expected to lead to stronger vertical wind shears in the jet stream, at the cruising altitude for most jet aircraft. Wind shears can become unstable and cause turbulence.

Williams used supercomputers simulations that calculate clear-air turbulence along Transatlantic routes in winter and found all turbulence strength levels will increase in a world with twice as much CO2. The computer models show the average amount of light turbulence will increase by 59%, 25 light-to-moderate turbulence by 75%, moderate by 94%, moderate-to-severe by 127%, and severe by 149%.

Ironically, or perhaps poetically, aviation has long been recognized as a major contributor of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
