Brazil takes on the European Refugee Crisis
In 2016 significantly less refugees arrived in Europe than the year before. The Organization for Migration and the EU border agency Frontex have reported a notable decline in the number of migrants arriving on Europe’s shores by nearly two-thirds. These numbers, however, are by no means an indication of improvement in the international situation of refugees.
It’s evident that something has to change in the international mindset to bring an end to the enduring human rights violations concerning millions of people. Surprisingly, a potential wind of change has come from Brazil, a country facing a deep economic and political crisis.
Brazil is one of the biggest recipients of refugees in Latin America. In 2013 they introduced a humanitarian visa program for Syrians, processing 8.450 humanitarian visas on basis of which more than 2.000 Syrian refugees have already settled in Brazil. Brazil has several reasons to pursue a recipient immigration policy. Receiving immigrants from all over the world helps to boost the country’s international reputation and to turn around its negative image regarding a high crime rate and an even higher external debt. Immigrants in Brazil also seem to be perceived as less as a (financial) burden than in many European countries.

My neighbors love Christmas, but I don’t. In fact, if I can be completely honest, I hate Christmas. Maybe it’s because Christmas was always a little depressing when I was a young boy. Anyway, my neighbors really love Christmas and every year they decorate the inside and outside of their house with big, bright lights. This year, however, they really exaggerated: their lights are so bright that I can’t sleep at night!

Inside Lilium, The World’s First Vertical Takeoff And Landing Private Jet
Wonder what’s in store for the future of private jet flying? Here’s a glimpse. A start-up company – hosted in a European Space Agency (ESA) business incubator center in Bavaria – released an idea for an egg-shaped two-seater plane called Lilium that’s currently in the works. With a top speed of 250 mph and a range of 300 miles, the plane can travel roughly between Munich and Berlin in about 90 minutes. And according to the ESA, if testing succeeds, this will be the world’s first vertical takeoff and landing private jet.
The project came about when Daniel Wiegand – one of the four founders of Lilium – wanted to realize flying for the masses in a fast, inexpensive, efficient and eco-friendly way. ‘Our goal is to develop an aircraft that doesn’t need the complex and expensive infrastructure of an airport, can be used close to urban areas, and doesn’t produce too much noise and pollution,’ he said. So to produce this new class of airplanes that could take off and land vertically anywhere with a surface area of 250 square feet by 2018, Wiegand and his team in Germany came up with a design using electric engines and incorporated movable fan turbines.
