The Governor of Ceará, Izolda Cela, met on the afternoon of last Thursday, 6, at the Abolição Palace, with the Consul General of Japan in Recife, Hiroaki Sano. This was the first visit by the Japanese diplomat to the Ceará Government since he took office at the Consulate in 2020, and the event is being seen as a possible meeting for future business, or even a potential interest in investments from Japan.

The consul general of Japan was accompanied by a professor from the State University of Ceará (Uece) in the area of Japanese language, and by the president of the Center for Japanese Culture and Language, Laura Tey Iwakami. From the Ceará Government, the executive secretary of Regionalization and Modernization, Célio Fernando Bezerra Melo, and the Executive Advisor for International Affairs, Felipe Barros Leal Rocha, also participated.

During the meeting, Governor Izolda Cela spoke about the investments that the State of Ceará has been making in strategic areas such as clean energy, through the development of projects related to green hydrogen and education. She also highlighted the expansion of trade relations with Japan. “In 2021 alone, exports to Japan grew by 52%. And we want to expand these partnerships by attracting new investments.”

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

The Mediterranean has become the target of the largest underwater archaeological mission ever coordinated by UNESCO: eight countries have joined forces to map shipwrecks and protect a historic corridor.

After nearly 50 years of neglect, BR-319 receives R$ 678 million to pave 340 km, gain a 320-meter bridge, and try to lift Amazonas out of the mud, the quagmire, and road isolation.

In France, a group of artisans spends 28 years building a medieval castle with 13th-century tools, without machines, without measuring tapes, and with almost zero carbon footprint, and the rediscovered techniques helped in the reconstruction of Notre-Dame.

The heatwave in Brazil that hit in March is set to end as a cold front arrives between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, causing a temperature drop of up to 6 degrees and rain in the Central-South region, according to the Easter weather forecast.

The U.S. Army has introduced its first new lethal grenade since the Vietnam War: the M111 kills using pressure shock waves that bounce off walls and can explode the enemy’s lungs without producing a single shard.
