a region that encompasses the sea surface marine soil and subsoil contained in the Atlantic extension projecting from the shore down to the outside border of the Brazilian Continental Platform That adjustment represents an increase in area of more than 4 million km2 in relation to the Map of Biomes and Coastal-Marine system of Brazil and that adopted as the eastern border the extension of the Great Brazilian Marine Ecosystems the continental portion remained unchanged The continental portion includes coastal environments like dunes the first features formed over the marine sediments along the Brazilian shoreline Ivone pointed out that “this new product is extremely important for the official mapping of the country It is the coastal-marine system now integrated into the Blue Amazon encompassing a vast territory and a wide variety of ecosystems covering the marine area under Brazilian jurisdiction up to the external border of the continental platform is fundamental to ensuring the preservation of these ecosystems and guiding strategic decisions in this part of the territory Dissemination represents an accurate and reliable basis for territorial analysis for delimiting protection areas and for identifying zones of economic and strategic interest.” stressed that “ it is important to have institutions such as the State Government of Amapá the Navy and the Ministry of the Environment which is responsible for geographical and statistical information and data in Brazil It is important for us to have this dialog with institutions about environmental data and information because there is a huge demand for environmental data.” the head of the Biotic Environment Sector at the IBGE presented the development process of the Coastal-Marine System suitable for the Blue Amazon Luciana emphasized that “from now on we are in line with other government and research institutions when it comes to the Brazilian jurisdictional area With the international recognition of part of the Blue Amazon allowing the expansion of Brazilian jurisdictional waters and the recommendation of the Secretariat of the Interministerial Commission for the Resources of the Sea (SECIRM) on the use of this border updating the Coastal-Marine System in the official publications of the country has become urgent” state coordinator of the Coastal Management Program in Amapá the Ministry of the Environment and other bodies demonstrates how Amapá is seen at a national level and recognizes the work of our researchers in the coastal area This illustrates how bodies like the IBGE are paying attention to our work” the IBGE launched a special leaflet with information on the Blue Amazon and the Coastal-Marine System and a map of Brazil with the new eastern border highlighted The IBGE and the State Government of Amapá launch a world map with Amapá at the center of the world In partnership with the State Government of Amapá the IBGE launched a world map highlighting the state of Amapá at the center of the world the map will be exhibited in different public places in the state distributed these materials to those present containing information about the state of Amapá the Blue Amazon and information related to the Coastal-Marine System an educational IBGE portal with updated entertaining content about Brazil visited the O Pequeno Príncipe Early Childhood Education Center After visiting Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Belém (PA) the pair brought fun and information about Brazil and Brazilians to the 4 and 5 year olds in the early childhood education segment There were fun activities about orientation and location Leaflets and IBGEeduca were distributed with educational activities and the school teachers were given world maps with Brazil at the center of the projection and copies of the 9th edition of the School Geographic Atlas from the IBGE It is a geographical area of around 5.7 million square meters that encompasses the surface of the sea It is the main transportation route for the country's foreign trade as well as hosting great marine biodiversity and countless natural resources it is a political and strategic concept because in addition to being part of the national heritage preservation and sustainable exploration and exploitation.On the eastern border which represents an increase of 3,323,856.93 km² in relation to the Coastal-Marine System The area of this system is 2,477,476.68 km² and The new border represents an important geographical division for generating statistics on the coastal-marine environment and a basis for the future delimitation of marine ecosystems and the adaptation of the Coastal-Marine System to the Blue Amazon represents an opportunity to make the population aware of this area as belonging to national territory Watch the full video of the launch of the eastern border of the Coastal-Marine System adapted to the Blue Amazon: © 2018 IBGE -

Enter multiple e-mails separated by comma This bioinsecticide is the first product formulated with the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae to control carambola fruit flies The host insect is eliminated by applying the product directly onto the soil Embrapa Amapá has developed a microbiological insecticide to fight fruit fly species including the quarantine pest carambola fruit fly (Bactrocera carambolae) present throughout the Brazilian state of Amapá and in restricted areas of Roraima and Pará The new bioinsecticide is based on the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae which was isolated from a soil in the city of Macapá Because it was obtained in an Amazonian environment the microorganism is ideal for the control of fruit flies that occur in tropical environments.  Embrapa researchers attested to the action potential of this technological asset to control the following species of fruit flies: Bactrocera carambolae (carambola fruit fly) Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly) and Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit fly) All of them are of economic importance for fruit farming.     The carambola fruit fly alone has already been identified in 26 fruit trees such as guava, mango, starfruit (a.k.a. carambola), Barbados cherry (a.k.a. acerola), citrus, mandarin, cashew, rose apple and bitter orange trees, according to studies by Embrapa Amapá. Therefore, it can have a large economic impact on such crops in the country. According to researcher Adilson Lopes Lima although the damage caused to the fruits does not cause illnesses in humans the main motivation to eradicate the carambola fruit fly is to avoid its spread to areas of commercial fruit production for exports especially the lower middle São Francisco river valley which is the largest mango production and export hub in Brazil with a planted area of approximately 12,000 hectares This bioinsecticide is the first product formulated with the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae to control carambola fruit flies The host insect is eliminated by applying the product directly onto the soil As it has no toxicity and leaves no trace there are no similar products in the market for both the carambola fruit fly and the fruit flies species Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata Fruit farmers have to apply the bioinsecticide in the canopy cover (area of the forest floor covered by the vertical projection of the tree crown) of the host fruit trees The results showed that in field conditions the percentage of control obtained with the technology was high: up to 87% The researcher says that the biological control of agricultural pests is a sustainable alternative to reduce or replace the use of synthetic chemical insecticides the use of natural enemies of insect pests such as entomopathogenic fungi (i.e fungi that attack and kill insects) has grown considerably The product does not pose a risk to the environment and works on the larvae pupae and adults of the pest while they are still in the soil As for adult insects coming out of the treated soil most emerge infected and die before completing the pre-oviposition period With the status of asset that is ready for product formulation the technology awaits private sector partners that are interested in producing and trading it Embrapa offers opportunities to improve studies to grow the product's shelf life and additional testing for other insect species of economic importance The bioinsecticide will also be assessed in the control of the South American fruit fly [Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann ]and the Mediterranean fruit fly [Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann)] which have a life cycle that is similar to the carambola fruit fly's Companies interested in signing commercial cooperation agreements can contact cpafap.chtt@embrapa.br "Using this microorganism formula to control the carambola fruit fly is a concrete possibility since it offers high effectiveness and it is easy to producte on a commercial scale," Lima asserts.  The phylogenetic and life-cycle similarity of target pests could promote expansion to other potential markets "The carambola fruit fly (Bactrocera carambolae) is a species that is part of the Bactrocera dorsalis complex with about 85 species that are genetically very close," according to the research team dorsalis is one of the most destructive agricultural pests in the world and one of the most limiting factors in the international trade of fresh fruits the use of the Embrapa asset in question has the potential for significant economic More information about this technological asset is available on Embrapa's web portal Dulcivania Freitas (MTB 1.603/96/PB) Embrapa Amapá Press inquiries imprensa.amapa@embrapa.br Translation: Mariana Medeiros (13044/DF) Superintendency of Communications Further information on the topicCitizen Attention Service (SAC) www.embrapa.br/contact-us/sac/ Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation.

The city takes its nickname from the fact that it straddles the Equator One of its foremost tourist attractions is the Marco Zero monument a 100-foot-tall concrete sundial on the southern edge of the city A red stripe runs east from the tower for a mile down Avenida Equatorial marking the imaginary line that separates the Northern from the Southern Hemisphere There's a circular hole through the top of the sundial so when the sun sets on the spring and fall equinoxes a sun-shaped orb moves due east down the avenue The score is zero-zero here at the Big Zero… Next door to the Equator monument is the football stadium where top-level local teams like Amapá Clube and Trem Desportivo play their home games meaning "the Big Zero." That's because it's located exactly at zero degrees latitude the stadium is built so that the midfield line follows the Equator exactly each team isn't just defending its own goal One side is defending the Northern Hemisphere and the other side the Southern Hemisphere But the geopolitical overtones switch in the second half up-to-the-minute voice in all things travel Condé Nast Traveler is the global citizen’s bible and muse We understand that time is the greatest luxury which is why Condé Nast Traveler mines its network of experts and influencers so that you never waste a meal or a hotel stay wherever you are in the world This work, NYARNG Soldier leaves SV24 with souvenirs, memories, and a promotion, by SFC ShaTyra Reed-Cox, identified by DVIDS, must comply with the restrictions shown on https://www.dvidshub.net/about/copyright on Paramount NetworkLocation: CenturyLink Arena in Boise John Salter (15-3)155 lbs.: Patricky Freire (19-8) vs David Rangel (0-1)135 lbs.: Joe Aguirre (1-0) vs Stephen Stirewalt (0-0)135 lbs.: Vince Morales (7-2) vs Justin Hugo (3-4)155 lbs.: Johnny Nunez (6-1) vs Josh Wick (9-3)195 lbs.: Jarod Trice (3-0) vs Sean Powers (9-6)145 lbs.: Adam Borics (7-0) vs Josenaldo Silva (25-6)205 lbs.: Sua Tuani (2-0) vs Emilio Trevino (2-0)155 lbs.: Bryce Edminister (1-1) vs Leon Taylor (0-0)155 lbs.: Nathan Stolen (7-3) vs Andrew Cruz (3-2)265 lbs.: Steve Mowry (4-0) vs To check out the latest Bellator MMA-related news and notes be sure to hit up our comprehensive news archive right here MMA Fighting has Bellator 205 results for the McKee vs Macapa fight card Friday night at the CenturyLink Arena in Boise In the main event, undefeated prospect A.J.

Speaking of which, you had a great opportunity against Daniel Weichel, and some people like Patricio Freire think you won all three rounds if you go to review the fight you will see that I won that fight against him and somehow the side referees saw different but I do not like to complain about things because I had three rounds to finish and knock him out and I did not Now I’m always going to try to liquidate my opponent and not leave margins for mistakes.” Would you be just as motivated to “liquidate” Freire given the obvious respect he has for you as a fighter if you received a title shot against him I respect him because that was the education my mother gave me To fight with him will not be a disrespect it will be an honor to fight with the best of the category.” Was fighting something you always wanted to do or did you have any other interests growing up like football (soccer) as a kid Some friends call me to fight jiu-jitsu and after a few years I migrated to MMA at the request of my master what always motivated me was the greed of winning and pursuing tougher challenges even if they demanded the most from me.” 1 contender in the division with a win on Friday night I want to fight in December again to be able to stay ahead of everyone and next year to dispute the title.” what is the one thing you want people to remember about John “Macapa” Teixeira that they don’t already from your fights thus far “My ultimate goal is to leave my legacy at Bellator and be remembered for many years as one of the toughest champions and fighters the organization has ever had.” Macapa” resides here at MMA Mania all week long The super competitive Featherweight division gets put to the test one more time as an undefeated rising young star faces a fellow 145-pound prospect in a fun Paramount Network-televised main event who ironically enough Teixeira is replacing in tomorrow’s main event There can be no doubts with this match up that McKee is absolutely facing the best available opponent in a man holding nearly twice his experience it’s easier to look flashy and not go to decision if you fight lesser competition If McKee is itching to make a statement about a title shot he’d finish Teixeira McKee’s best chance is to use his youth and speed to take Teixeira to the ground and make quick transitions looking for an arm triangle You can’t blame him since John Salter has the best record in the Middleweight division other than him including a vicious submission of the former champ Both men are Brazilian jiu-jitsu wizards on the ground and while in some cases that could result in a stalemate that makes for a stand-up war I’m giving the slight edge to Lovato based on his monster size At 6’3” with a 77.5” reach to Salter’s 6’1” and 74” reach he’s not only the more formidable Middleweight but could easily fight at 205 were that his desire In a jiu-jitsu contest where both men are skilled and although I highly respect Salter’s ground game he lacks the absolute ace international jiu-jitsu competition pedigree Lovato carries If “Pitbull” Patricky Freire took down Roger Huerta and submitted him in this fight it would be the second most unlikely outcome possible The even more rare scenario would be Huerta knocking out Freire in a stand-up war You do not want to trade hands with Freire who has used every bit of his 71-inch reach to put 12 men on the canvas Since Huerta has finished 12 men by knockout as well it might be tempting to fight fire with fire No one in his camp would advise it but sometimes a fighter has to make their own choices Regardless what I expect is that Huerta will try to play it smart and take Freire down only for the currently streaking “Pitbull” to stuff the takedown and then light him up with heavy hands Final prediction: Patricky Freire scores a second round technical knockout In size and reach they are “virtually identical” as Mike Goldberg likes to say so for this one I expect the natural striking advantage Kielholtz holds as the Bellator Kickboxing Flyweight champion to come into play here — and if she uses it the fight won’t last very long Final prediction: Denise Kielholtz via first round knockout MMAmania.com will deliver coverage of Bellator 205 tomorrow with Paramount Network fights starting at 9 p.m. ET.
