country's city of São José dos Campos Casa Jabuticaba takes the requisite parts of a grand family home and pulls them apart to form an interlinked chain of moments around a planted garden Designed by Fernanda Marques Architecture and located in the Brazilian city of São José dos Campos the home has been designed to centre the family’s lives on nature and evolve with them over time swaying grasses lead guests up to a 3.5m pivot entry gate a relatively compact courtyard featuring water small trees and low-level shrubs evokes an image of a wild retreat and establishes a visual relationship with the larger garden at the rear of the house.  The travertine floors at the entrance continue into the main living areas on the ground floor and out onto the rear terrace helping to establish a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces The string of social spaces includes a cinema room formal dining room and an informal eating area that overlooks the kitchen All of these spaces are given clear views out into the garden owing to the full height sliding glazing that can be neatly concealed in hidden pockets Climbing a sinuous corten steel and travertine staircase to the first floor one finds the main bedrooms – each with its own ensuite Running perpendicular to the living spaces downstairs the bedrooms will have the best of the evening sun but discreet mechanical shutters can screen the sun to limit solar gain if required. As with the downstairs The master bedroom overlooks a conservation area and the jabuticaba trees that puncture openings in the cantilevered roof structure invite dappled light and the play of soft shadows into every room The cumaru reappears on the upper floor too accompanied by other tactile elements like the face basin carved into Brazilian marble from a quarry in Espirito Santo The deft control of natural materials means that this family home has the potential to offer something new every year; new combinations of light and tone and new textures too as each material takes on a unique patina.  escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox fernandamarques.com.br Copyright @ 2020.

New York: General Motors said Monday that it is trimming its software and services workforce as the automaker moves to beef up new technology investments while protecting profitability. The Michigan auto giant is cutting more than 1,000 salaried jobs overall, including some 600 at GM's tech campus near Detroit, according to reports from CNBC and the Detroit News, which cited an unnamed source. GM confirmed it was cutting jobs, but declined to disclose figures. "As we build GM's future, we must simplify for speed and excellence, make bold choices and prioritize the investments that will have the greatest impact," a GM spokesman said. "As a result, we're reducing certain teams within the software and services organization." At the end of 2023, GM had 87,000 hourly workers and about 76,000 salaried employees, according to a securities filing. In July, GM reported higher profits behind strong North American sales that compensated for a quarter of losses in China. While the company has slowed some investments in electric vehicles and autonomous driving, these remain sources of heavy capital spending. GM has vowed $2 billion in cost cuts to offset the outlays. The company in June also authorized a new $6 billion share repurchase program. , opens new tab has not yet received Chinese certification for its A220 narrowbody jet The smaller A220-100 version seats up to 135 passengers while the larger A220-300 model fits up to 160 Airbus did not respond immediately to a request for comment on its A220 certification progress in China.China's aviation regulator which in late 2020 said it would offer favourable airport slots to domestically made airplanes and favour them in fleet planning over the next five years did not respond immediately to a request for comment.Reporting by Sophie Yu in Beijing and Jamie Freed in Sydney; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman and Christian Schmollinger By 2022-06-30T21:39:00 Embraer has hired automaker Toyota to help improve the efficiency of its aircraft manufacturing facility in Sao Jose dos Campos in Brazil Technological Innovations for a Better Life | BYD USA The company will supply 12 articulated buses for the first 100% electric bus corridor in the country  São José dos Campos, Brazil―BYD recently unveiled Brazil’s first locally made pure electric articulated bus in São José dos Campos, in the state of São Paulo. The vehicle, which will operate on Brazil’s first corridor operated entirely by electric buses, will remain in the city until the end of March for public visitation. BYD expects to deliver the entire fleet of 12 buses by October this year. Marcello Schneider reiterated the advantages that the city brings to its citizens in choosing electric transport, saying “BYD will deliver this pure electric bus model to the city of São José dos Campos, and we are thrilled to contribute to a more sustainable city and greener mobility.” “The City Hall quickly understands the relevance and the actual need to replace conventional vehicles with non-polluting ones. Investing in electric vehicles improves the air quality, directly impacting the population’s health, as well as bringing greater comfort to the user and driver, thanks to their quiet operation.” Felicio Ramuth, Mayor of São José dos Campos, Paulo Guimarães, Transportation and Mobility Secretary of São José dos Campos, and other authorities were present during the unveiling that took place at the Technological Park of São José dos Campos. With a modern and bold design, the Attivi Express body model, developed in partnership with Marcopolo, a Brazilian multinational firm and Latin America’s largest bus body manufacturer, brings an articulated chassis with pure electric propulsion, offering zero emissions of harmful fumes and noise, while being more cost-effective, due to its lower maintenance costs and great performance. The model is 22 meters long, has lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4), a 250-kilometer range on a single three-hour charge, and a capacity for 168 passengers. The buses have upholstered seats with headrests and individual USB ports, installed monitors on the ceiling, radio, and speakers. The external lighting will have full LED headlights, ensuring greater luminous efficiency, in addition to an accessibility system for wheelchair users. The buses are equipped with Marcopolo’s BioSafe System, with a UV-C air disinfection system installed in the air conditioning, as well as antimicrobial finishing in the seats, handrails, and handholds. The doors have a 130cm clear span, making it easier for passengers to board and disembark, as well as a safety system that prevents passengers from getting caught in between the doors. Prioritizing security, the vehicles use six high-definition cameras, with two of them boasting infrared technology. Besides this, BYD replaces the traditional rearview mirrors with two high-definition cameras, which cover a larger field of vision and allow drivers to see blind spots and drive easily, increasing traffic safety. The chassis along for an adjustable steering column, bilateral kneeling for universal accessibility, height adjustment, flame retardant system, digital tachograph, aluminum wheels, and integral air suspension. The twelve 22-meter-long articulated chassis were produced by BYD in its factory in Campinas, and are already at Marcopolo for final assembly, putting them well on schedule for October delivery. According to the City Hall of São José dos Campos, the Green Line was developed to meet modern concepts of urban planning, in line with the guidelines of the cities’ Master Plan. The main goal is to promote urban and economic development, preserving the environment with a Rapid Mass Transit inspired by the most advanced systems in the world (Bus Rapid Transit). The green corridor will also have 75,000 square meters and includes, in addition to the express corridor, four squares along the route. an executive told Reuters on Monday.The move is likely to stir competition with Finland's Nokia and China's Huawei Technologies Co [HWT.UL] which also have factories in Sao Paulo state and are racing to lead 5G deployment in Brazil."We already export 40% of all equipment assembled in Brazil to Latin American countries and it will be no different with 5G," said Eduardo Ricotta in a phone interview after meeting with President Jair Bolsonaro.The investment will be made between 2020 and 2025 and includes the cost of hiring and acquisition of machinery the Swedish company will spend 200 million reais to set up the new 5G assembly line in its factory located in Sao Jose dos Campos Ricotta said."We expect this new assembly line to be operating as of the third-quarter of 2020 but the schedule will also depend on the 5G auction," he said.Brazil telecoms regulator Anatel is still determining the rules for the 5G auction which was initially scheduled for next March but later postponed as tests on interference with other services are still ongoing."Our business plans always take into account a little deviation as this factory will also serve other countries in Latin America," Ricotta said without disclosing the main destinations.But in case Brazil’s 5G auction is further postponed to 2021 Ericsson estimates a loss of around 25 billion reais for public coffers according to a study released earlier in October the company expects 5G deployment in Brazil to trigger approximately 10 billion reais in direct investments and additional 250 million reais in research and development it said in the same document.Ricotta's comments come more than three months after Ericsson rival Huawei announced plans to build an $800 million smartphone plant also in Sao Paulo state over the next three years in a push to ramp up its Latin American presence against U.S 23 of the 5G networks already operating are using Ericsson's technology and the group has signed 80 agreements around the world."We are the only manufacturer with operational 5G networks in all continents and these 23 are all large size networks especially in the United States," he said.In its latest mobility report disclosed on Monday Ericsson estimated that 65% of the world’s population will have access to 5G networks by 2025 with 2.6 billion subscriptions.Reporting by Gabriela Mello; Editing by Sandra Maler and Tom Brown prompting investigations.Also last week a United-operated Boeing 777-200 bound for Japan lost a tire after takeoff from San Francisco and was diverted to Los Angeles where it landed safely.A United Boeing 737 on March 4 bound for Florida departing Houston returned to the airport shortly after takeoff after the engine ingested some plastic bubble wrap that was on the airfield prior to departure Social media posts showed flames coming out of the engine.Reporting by Mrinmay Dey in Bengaluru and David Shepardson in Washington; Editing by Chris Reese and Stephen Coates Gabriel is a Sao Paulo, Brazil-based reporter covering Latin America's financial and breaking news from the region's largest economy.

The automaker has been working with the Brazilian government, dealers, suppliers and labor unions "to create a business plan that’s going to weather these economic circumstances better," GM CFO Dhivya Suryadevara said after the automaker reported its 2018 earnings. GM said Tuesday its investment in the two Brazilian plants reaffirms the company's commitment to the region. "We will continue to work with all stakeholders, including the government, to address the competitive issues affecting GM business and the automotive industry in Brazil, such as material, labor and logistics costs, infra-structure, taxes and high cost of capital," Flores said in an emailed statement. "We need to face these issues to build a competitive manufacturing basis in Brazil and the region, to be able to have a sustainable business." In the past several years, the Detroit automaker sold its European operations, restructured its business in South Korea, and ended production in Russia, Australia, Indonesia and South Africa.  2023 | German-Brazilian cooperationDLR and Embraer extend cooperation in aviation researchTogether for climate-compatible aviationAnke Kaysser-Pyzalla Head of Research & Technology Development at Embraer after the signing of the MoU about the extended cooperation in aviation research in São José dos Campos 9 October 2023 – Embraer and the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt; DLR) today announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for collaboration regarding precompetitive technology research and development activities The partners will evaluate the possibility of establishing a future cooperation on a wide range of activities "We are delighted to extend our collaboration with DLR and continue our team's longstanding relationship This agreement represents another key step in our technology journey toward to the future of a sustainable aviation in partnership with global research centers," said Maurílio Albanese Novaes Júnior head of Research & Technology Development at Embraer "Following our long-standing cooperation we would like to further intensify our joint activities International cooperation is essential if we are to achieve our goal of climate-compatible aviation," emphasises Anke Kaysser-Pyzalla we are addressing issues such as aerodynamics and flight physics as well as conducting studies in the wind tunnel and flight tests."

effects on Earth They can also disrupt communication and power grids and cause radiation damage to astronauts "Violent solar activities can lead to disastrous space conditions and massive losses," Wang said studying space weather has great scientific and practical significance in reducing or mitigating the impact of hazardous space weather as humanity ventures deeper into the universe." Forecasting space weather is a notoriously difficult task The European Space Agency and the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration have built many instruments over the decades from ground-based observatories to satellites NASA launched its Ionospheric Connection Explorer satellite to study how solar wind and other space weather phenomena interact with the ionosphere a layer of Earth's upper atmosphere that begins around 100 km from the planet's surface China and Brazil began cooperating in space weather research in 2010 Wang said the two countries are geographically well suited to tackling the subject together because China is located at around 120 degrees east longitude and Brazil is at 60 degrees west meaning the two regions can complement each other in collecting data The joint laboratory has installed advanced space monitoring equipment including a laser radar ionospheric meter and a magnetometer that have collected more than 1.5 terabytes of space weather data Wang said the lab and its data contribute to the International Space Weather Meridian Circle Program a global science project launched by China in 2008 It is aimed at connecting ground-based observatories along the 120 E and 60 W meridian chains and enhancing the monitoring of the space environment China and Brazil have also trained 16 postdoctoral fellows and jointly published 24 papers in noted journals such as the Journal of Geophysical Research "The lab's success has greatly improved the space weather research and forecast capabilities for both countries," Wang said As space weather collaboration between China and Brazil nears its 10th anniversary both countries are eyeing further cooperation in space technologies ranging from space weather research to building new survey satellites to collect remote sensing data for urban planning and resource management China, Brazil to enhance space efforts The wasteland was the aftermath of a surprise raid by 1,800 police in riot gear, launched late last month on Pinheirinho, where 8,000 squatters had been living illegally since 2004. After clashing with residents and sympathizers armed with clubs and iron bars, the officers bulldozed the community. Since then, Pinheirinho has become a smoldering symbol of the divide between Brazil’s haves and have-nots. Over the last few years, the Brazilian economy has powered forward, pulling tens of millions out of poverty and creating a new middle class. Indeed, just across the well-paved street from the wreckage of Pinheirinho is a strip mall that would be recognizable in Southern California. Nearby Sao Paulo is now the most expensive city in the Western Hemisphere, surpassing New York and London. Yet GDP per capita is still about a fourth of that in the United States. The minimum wage is less than $400 a month. And the violent razing of the Pinheirinho settlement -- seemingly to the benefit of real estate investors in Sao Jose dos Campos, a middle-class suburb -- brought a storm of criticism that some of the poor and marginalized are being cast aside in the race to profit from growth. After the razing of Pinheirinho, Sao Paulo Mayor Gilberto Kassab was pelted with eggs, and a protest turned violent on the 458th anniversary of the city. Protesters were also taking issue with the way police have been aggressively clearing the homeless and drug-addicted from “Cracolandia,” or Crackland, a blighted section of the city’s center, to make way for urban redevelopment. “It’s sad to find that what happened in Pinheirinho is not an isolated incident. It’s an expression of policy driven by real estate speculation,” Guilherme Boulos and Valdir Martins, activists involved in the Sao Paulo and Pinheirinho standoffs, wrote in a column in Folha de Sao Paulo, Brazil’s highest-circulation newspaper. In another display of the backlash against the country’s runaway capitalist development, a radical movement has taken over Sao Paulo buildings in the last few months, some just blocks from Latin America’s largest stock exchange. Graffiti-covered walls and red flags hanging from windows serve as a jarring reminder to those working in the historic city center that not all of Brazil’s old inequalities have been resolved. “We’re not asking for free housing,” said Maria de Fatima Simoes, a 48-year-old nurse speaking in one of the occupied buildings. “We’re asking for something affordable, and that the poor not be treated like criminals.” Simoes, who left the building peacefully Thursday after a negotiated settlement with police, said she knew exactly where she would go with her special-needs son. “We’ll go back to the streets,” she said. “Where do you think poor people go?” When Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva became president in 2003, many here and abroad feared the leftist union leader might put the capitalist economy at risk or allow it to be overrun by radical movements, such as the Landless Workers Movement. After eight years of Lula’s rule, however, most economists agreed that he had successfully combined prudent policy with moderate social programs to ensure strong growth, and ended his presidency as one of the world’s most popular leaders. Under his successor, Dilma Rousseff, who took over in January 2011, it is clear that most Brazilians continue to become better off materially, and Rousseff enjoys similarly high approval ratings. But for the first time in recent memory, new and old voices are emerging that say Brazil has erred too far on the side of growth. Incomes and property values are rising, new consumers are spending more, and international investors are winning big returns. But investments in health, education and infrastructure have not kept up, economists say. After the Pinheirinho razing, Gilberto Carvalho, an official in Rousseff’s administration, criticized the action, saying, “We think that there was still something that could have been done, above all a negotiated and humane exit for those families, without the need to create a battlefield in the location.” The residents of the settlement, now sleeping on floors in community shelters or staying with relatives throughout Sao Jose dos Campos, knew they did not have legal title to the land. Many had hoped an agreement would be reached with the government to allow them to stay. Some people said the Pinheirinho confrontation resulted from a combination of the destitute and those who wished to take advantage of a possible settlement for titles to valuable land. “As with anything, you had your good and bad elements,” said Poliana Roman, a 48-year-old schoolteacher who lives near the razed slum. “Some moved in who had nothing, and others set up camp or built houses, then paid the truly poor to occupy their settlements or even rented them out to them.” Eulalia Sousa Lopes, 32, was one of hundreds sleeping on the floor of a nearby gym with her daughter, Angela, until they could figure out where to go. “There is supposed to be some kind of a housing development, but after this, no one really trusts the authorities,” she said. Minutes later, the power went out, plunging the sports complex into darkness. Bevins is a special correspondent.

operated by Petrobras Veolia Water Solutions &amp; Technologies<br /> Toyo Engineering<br /> Metso Automation<br /> AspenTech the refinery is located in São José dos Campos in São Paulo state and is the fourth-largest refinery in the country The refinery covers an area of 10.3km² and produces 251,000bpd of gasoline The Revap refinery was conceived in the late 1970s as part of the country’s second national development plan and was inaugurated in 1980 Initial production was based on low-viscosity crude oil but was later shifted to Brazilian offshore crude which contains high levels of grit and coke In March 2009 Veolia Water Solutions and Technologies was awarded a turnkey contract for building a new wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 300m³/h (1,320gpm) at the refinery In October 2009 the Revap refinery started refining its first load of oil from the Tupi presalt region Oil from the Tupi field is rated as paraphinic with a specific gravity of 29.2o API which makes it perfect for meeting future specifications for all derivatives such as naphtha and diesel In 2007 Petrobras announced it will undertake a $900m modernisation of the Revap refinery The plans include building a delayed coking unit with a capacity of 31,500 barrels per stream day (BPSD) a coke naphtha hydro treatment unit with a capacity of 18,900BPSD and other auxiliary units Modernisation of the refinery is scheduled to finish in November 2009 the Revap refinery will produce 15% of Brazil’s oil derivatives The modernisation project is expected to generate 11,500 direct and 14,500 indirect jobs The modernisation is being undertaken to boost the capacity to process national oil The new units will help convert fuel oil to lighter by-products such as diesel to meet new environmental specifications for gasoline Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) is the main financier ($486m) for the project Standard Chartered Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation will provide $378m Another $36m will be provided by trading companies Japonesas Mitsui and Itochu Corporation Toyo Engineering was awarded a $700m contract in May 2006 for detailed engineering procurement of equipment and materials and construction of the new facilities Petrobras signed a long-term supply agreement worth $16m with Metso Automation (Metso) in 2007 for the automation of the Revap refinery undertaken as a part of its modernisation project Metso will provide process automation systems and solutions and other related services The existing distributed control system (DCS) will be modernised with the addition of more than 20,000 wired process input/output (I/O) interfaces to be built by Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies will include a membrane bioreactor (MBR) process It will treat high salinity wastewater (800ppm to 2,000ppm chlorides) recovered from the desalter and drainage at the bottom of the crude oil tank The complete system of the plant comprises different steps that include API type oil/water separation nutshell filtration for free oil polishing equalisation and secondary treatment with membrane biological reactors (MBR) Veolia will also provide a 700m³/h (3,083gpm) ACTIFLO clarification plant for the existing wastewater treatment plant at the refinery The clarification plant will polish wastewater from secondary clarification before it is reused Petrobras implemented AspenTech’s process optimisation solution for feed selection AspenTech is a leading provider of software for optimising process manufacturing in oil and gas Real time optimisation (RTO) is an extremely sustainable technology that enhances business operations and profitability AspenTech provided its aspenONE with the Aspen Plus Optimizer solution flexibility and enables equation-oriented (EO) optimisation for complicated RTO Initially Petrobras used RTO in an open-loop format in which about nine RTO runs were performed every day These RTO runs included appropriate modifications for feed reconciliation and optimisation The optimisation enabled operating conditions and feed and product qualities to be modelled precisely Petrobras recognised the benefits from open loop format and decided to implement the closed loop format in the next phase of implementation The refinery is equipped with direct-fired heaters Neles smart valve controllers ND 9000 and a VALVGUARD system for ESD valves It is also equipped with Metso Field Care configuration and condition monitoring software and a maxDNA distribution control system (DCS) The direct-fired heaters bring crude feedstock to the right temperature for distillation and consist of a series of tubes called passes Each heater contains six to eight passes with their own double-seat globe valves When production at the Revap refinery was shifted from low-viscosity crude oil to offshore crude oil a large amount of grit and coke became encrusted in the valves leading to dangerous oil leakages and creating a fire hazard The distillation process had to be stopped every two to three months to clean the valves It also resulted in rising labour costs and declining productivity and created problems with environmental departments To address this problem Petrobras contracted Metso in 2001 Metso investigated various valve options for the refinery and selected Finetrol rotary control valves The Finetrol valves were similar to the globe valves already installed in the refinery As a result installation of the Finetrol valves was economical and did not require changes to the pipework The new equipment meant Petrobras was able to undertake predictive maintenance of the refinery View all newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network Dutch firm KAAN Architecten has revealed plans for the new Faculty
