The small monkey, which is mostly gray and brown and weighs 213 grams (0.47 pound), has been named the Mura’s saddleback tamarin after the Mura Indian tribe of the Purus and Madeira riverbasins where the new sub-species was found.

It is 240 millimeters (9.4 inches) tall with a 320 millimeter (12.6 inch) tail.

“This newly described monkey shows that even today there are major wildlife discoveries to be made,” Fabio Rohe, the lead author of a study confirming the new discovery, said in a statement released by the WCS.

The study found that the monkey is threatened by development projects in the region, including a major highway through the forest that is being paved and which could fuel deforestation.

“This discovery should serve as a wake-up call that there is still so much to learn from the world’s wild places, yet humans continue to threaten these areas with destruction,” Rohe said.

It took Brazil just five minutes to break the deadlock. There appeared to be little danger when Daniel Alves’s dink found Kaka inside a congested penalty area, but the No10 subtly tricked his way past two opponents before casually sliding the ball home.

Egypt responded swiftly, with Mohamed Aboutrika’s right-wing cross being headed in by Mohamed Zidan, but they fell behind again on 12 minutes, when Luis Fabiano’s head guided an Elano free-kick into the bottom corner of the net.

Elano and Juan both came close to doubling A Seleção’s lead, before the latter did just that by heading home the former’s corner in the 37th minute.

Egypt refused to submit to their more illustrious opponents, though, and scored twice in two minutes to restore parity, Mohamed Shawky’s firm, low drive from the edge of the box preceding a 55th-minute strike from Zidan.

Both sides then had their chances, but the game appeared destined for a 3-3 draw. That was until goal-bound Lucio effort was handled on the line by Ahmed Al Muhamadi. The Egypitan defender was sent off, and Kaka coolly passed the ball into the bottom corner of Essam El Hadary’s net to ensure Dunga’s side made a wininng start to the defence of their crown.

When you leave a glass of water in the sink in the kitchen before leaving for work, why there are so many bubbles in the glass when we return home? Is it safe to drink “old” water? These are some of the most common questions in regard to water consumption. But there is no reason to worry. The water, in theory, never gets “old.”

The bubbles that appear are almost certainly air bubbles that escaped, as the cold water from the sink is heated and releases the gases dissolved in it. Furthermore, a few hours on the balcony can actually improve the taste of water, allowing the taste of chlorine in the water to dissipate, according to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA).

A few hours out of the tap does not “age” the water that is clean. Thus, it does not become dangerous for consumption. However, policies on safe storage of water for an emergency, as well as common sense, suggests to cover the glass or container to avoid dust and other contaminants to settle on it.

The State University of Colorado says that when the water is properly stored in clean tanks and closed, it should be good forever. The usual recommendation is to store a gallon of water per person per day in case of emergency. The real danger is to put clean water in dirty tanks.

It is a good idea to use and replace stored water every six to twelve months, says the University, change the water as it “serves as an additional precaution against bacteria or viruses that develop in deposits, which may not have been fully or properly cleaned. “

Pontes is one of the most experienced jet pilots in the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), where he holds the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and has flown for more than 2000 hours in 25 different aircraft. In June 1998, he was selected by the Brazilian Space Agency to train in the NASA space program after he acquired a space-related background in the Aeronatical Engineering division of the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (the Aeronautics Technological Institute, or “ITA”), which he transferred to in pursuit of a childhood dream to become an astronaut. He began NASA training in August 1998 and qualified as Space Shuttle Mission Specialist in December 2000.

“I want to see the Green-and-Yellow in space”: Logo for Pontes’ campaign to hasten his maiden flight.
Initially, Pontes’ maiden spaceflight was scheduled to be on a Space Shuttle, where he was to help transport the ExPRESS Logistics Carrier (ELC), the International Space Station’s first Brazilian-made component, into orbit. It was postponed due to delays in the completion of the ELC, and budgetary concerns at NASA. During the delay Pontes ran a campaign to hasten the Brazilian government to complete the ELC, and worked on technical assignments in the Astronaut Office Space Station Operations Branch at NASA. His flight was postponed indefinitely when all NASA flights were suspended in February 2003 after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.

The agreement was signed by the presidents of the Brazilian and Russian space agencies, Sérgio Gaudenzi and Anatoli Perminov, respectively.
Pontes’ flight coincided with celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont’s successful flight of an fixed-wing airplane in Paris in October 1906.
On March 30, 2006 Pontes became the first Brazilian and the first native Portuguese-speaking person to go into space, where he stayed on the International Space Station for a week. During his trip, Pontes carried out eight experiments selected by the Brazilian Space Agency. He landed in Kazakhstan on April 8, 2006, with the crew of Expedition 12.
Following the Soyuz mission, Pontes returned to his technical duties for the International Space Station Program at the Johnson Space Center, working with FIESP/SENAI-SP for the development and fabrication of the Brazilian parts for the ISS. Pontes is on stand-by for training for future Brazilian space flights.
