Petrobras Pension Plan

Thus, the Petros Plan of the Petrobras System – Non-Restructured (PPSP-NR) is a defined benefit plan sponsored by Petrobras, Petrobras Distribuidora, and Petros to supplement the income of participants during retirement, in case of risk, as well as to guarantee a death pension for their beneficiaries. The benefit consists of a monthly supplemental income to the benefit granted by Social Security (INSS).

Finally, created in the 1970s and initially called the Petros Plan of the Petrobras System (PPSP), it was renamed PPSP-NR in 2018 due to the separation of the plan into two. Active participants, retirees, and pensioners who disagreed with the renegotiation of the benefit adjustment rules of the plan in 2006, 2007, and 2012 remained in the PPSP-NR.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
