Initial studies by Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy are ongoing regarding the 1,237-km Bilac-Santa Maria and 1,168-km Penápolis-Canoas natural gas pipelines The pipelines were proposed November 2020 to expand the use of gas in southern Brazil and further rationalize the country’s grid Each pipeline would have an 8-million cu m/day (MMcmd) capacity and carry gas from São Paulo state to Rio Grande do Sul The projects are parallel developments for what would eventually be the Chimarrão gas pipeline which will ship to Paraná and Santa Catarina states as well as Rio Grande do Sul (Fig Penápolis-Canoas is Chimarrão A and Bilac-Santa Maria Chimarrão B.  are being studied to reach areas in Brazil without natural gas supply Factors driving which project ends up advancing include the potential for replacing other fuels with natural gas and expected industrial growth Smaller distribution lines would stretch off the main conduit.  The project’s future depends in large measure on the continued availability of Bolivian gas (or Argentine gas routed through Bolivia) and the volume and timing of bringing Brazil’s presalt associated gas to market reach Brazil directly via TGM’s Uruguaiana pipeline (see main article) and completion of the Uruguaiana-Porto Alegre project (see figure) Either Chimarrão pipeline would start at an interconnect with the 11-billion cu m/year Bolivia-Brazil Gas Pipeline (Gasbol) in western São Paulo state a region typified by large pastures and limited native vegetation Both would then navigate the urban expansion surrounding Maringá and Londrina in northern Paraná state.  Chimarrão A would include large portions run through agricultural areas with Chimarrão B instead crossing regions with extensive natural vegetation and forestation and sharp mountain tops by virtue of crossing the Serra Geral mountain range Chimarrão A also crosses an unconsolidated sediment deposit area between Sapucaia do Sul and Portão (Rio Grande do Sul) increasing its geotechnical complexity.  Chimarrão A ends near Porto Alegre in Canoas which features a combination of urban expansion with large areas of pasture as well as soybean and corn crops.  Chimarrão A would cross 86 municipalities and Chimarrão B 69 and active mining sites all factor into detailed route planning Chimarrão A would interfere with 38 mining projects (including 13 clay mines and 1 copper mine) while Chimarrão B crosses 24 mining sites (including 10 sand mines and 1 gold mine) An assessment of highest potential municipal gas demand Chimarrão A—featuring two compressor stations Paraná and the other in Laranjeiras do Sul Paraná—would deliver to:  Chimarrão B—also with two compressor stations Paraná —would deliver to:  Chimarrão A would cost $2.1 billion and Chimarrão B $2.3 billion.  Source: Project details from Brazil’s Energy Research Office (EPE).  Chris brings 32 years of experience in a variety of oil and gas industry analysis and reporting

chefs Kermit Carpenter and Paul Menta as they scooped free samples of the pie which spanned a precise 13.14 feet in diameter harking back to the mathematical constant pi squeezed past a 12.25-foot creation made in 2018 by a Florida business; its producers were awaiting certification of the grand concoction — made of Key lime juice and condensed milk spread atop a graham cracker crust — as the world’s largest but club member Keara McGraw says it’s safe to say it was “a lot.” Improper disposal of household cooking oil is not only an ecological hazard it’s also a missed opportunity to recycle the waste into new products Oil poured down drains also increases water treatment costs Members of the Rotaract Club of Penápolis in São Paulo state distributed 400 funnels to help residents collect oil in bottles along with pamphlets explaining the benefits of recycling and how to do it Members of a recycling cooperative in Penápolis gather the bottled oil and sell it to be turned into biodiesel “It’s essential to reduce and prevent pollution in all its forms,” says club member Lucas Silveira de Campos Year Christopher Columbus introduced citrus seeds to the West Indies Value of the global

Ursula Moodie The program has reached as many as 17,000 preschoolers This story originally appeared in the January 2024 issue of Rotary magazine Rotary projects around the globe – December 2023 Rotary projects around the globe – November 2023 Rotary projects around the globe – October 2023 Cho Seung Youn (also known as WOODZ) recently participated in a photo shoot with W Korea the idol talked about growing up in Brazil “As soon as I graduated from elementary school I packed up and went to Brazil to study soccer Santos has a similar atmosphere to Los Angeles in the United States I used to jog and play with my friends on the beach.” He also shared that his English name is Evan I asked my Brazilian friends for their local names and came across the name Luizinho I liked it so much that I changed my name from Evan to Luizinho.” When the interviewer pointed out it seemed like he had been too busy to feel lonely I missed my parents every day and wondered how my friends in Korea were doing K-pop was the only thing to remember about Korea but the local Internet was so slow that I had to wait a whole day to download a song The songs I listened to every day at that time were Shin Sung Woo’s ‘Prologue’ and Lee Seung Gi’s ‘Let’s Go on a Trip.'” Cho Seung Youn also talked about how he started to dream about singing “I clearly remember the moment I first heard ‘Let’s Go on a Trip.’ It was when the sun was about to set after I was done exercising I don’t know why I was so excited the moment the song played on my earphones I think I vaguely decided to become a singer for the first time ‘I wish I could be someone who can convey the excitement I feel right now to others.’ As soon as I returned to Korea after studying in Brazil After I passed a phone call audition in the Philippines I lied to my parents and came to Korea for the official audition I must have auditioned about 40 to 50 times.” The idol then reflected on who he is as a person “I’m not sure what kind of person I am It was around the time I appeared in ‘Show Me the Money,’ and I had a lot of pressure to do well in everything I was always being pushed into competition so I had to pay attention to who was in front of me and behind me It was also right after my father passed away My obsessive compulsive disorder led to the development of a personality of letting things flow I realized that people naturally change depending on the situation and have to be contradictory so I feel like that’s why I haven’t defined myself yet there were many nights when I was kept awake by my thoughts these kinds of miscellaneous thoughts seem to have disappeared.” Cho Seung Youn was asked about releasing a mini-album in summer “When I participated in ‘Produce X 101,’ there was something I heard a lot from my fans They said they really liked how I was able to sing The first thing I thought was to emphasize that in this album and staff who always protect me without leaving my side I wanted to complete an album that they wouldn’t be ashamed of So I really put everything into this album It started with ‘recognize me’ to “actually I know how to do things like this’ to ‘I didn’t know what you’d like The interviewer pointed out that he seems like a person who is quick to shift between laughing and crying The idol admitted that was true and explained “I’m easily swayed by emotions How can you not think it’s sad?’ I think my music is like that it alludes to the words ‘What do you think?’ and ‘Isn’t it sad?’ I like this kind of emotional exchange One of my close friends is someone who is preparing to go into acting when we start a debate with the question ‘Where does sadness start?.’ we talk about how sadness usually begins at some point but sometimes the discussion delves deeper into a serious counterargument.” When asked why he tends to not change as a person “I’m not good at putting things down But I think I’m just trying to get by keeping what I have While playing with sand in my hand on the beach of Jeju Island The sand that is scattered after being held in my hand for a moment is like a human relationship but I don’t even know who knows me or who I know let’s be a person who holds stones rather than sand I want to take care of people who are important and precious to me I’m relieved that I don’t have to hold onto the person who made me suffer.” Choi Seung Youn also talked about what did change about him over the years “I think I’ve become a little bit more flexible I only gave it up if there was a good reason for it it seems that the time it takes for me to accept and understand the rejection has shortened.” Source (1) Brazilian football great Edson Arantes do Nascimento The 76-year-old married Marcia Cibele Aoki on Saturday at a private ceremony in the resort of
