Brazil: Babaçu Nut Breakers in the Bico do Papagaio
By Marcelo Silva
The warm waters of the Rio Araguaia join up with the cold waters of the
Rio Tocantins in the center of Brazil. The two rivers joining together shape the
outlines of a beak, more precisely a parrot’s beak, which explains its regional
name, Bico de Papagaio. This very region gained international notoriety for the
violence of its conflicts around its land in the 1970s and 80s as well as for being
the largest scene of land plundering in the world. While theu husbands were
engaged in the fight and occupying the land, the women supported their families
by practicing a primitive type of activity that still exists today, that is breaking
babaçu nuts. These women are known by the name of babaçu nut breakers in
the Bico do Papagaio. Thgy lead an exhausting daily life as they are confronted
by all sorts of difficulties in the quest to gather just enough money to buy one
kilo of rice and one of sugar at the end of the day.

Coughing Kitties
Maryann Mott
Feline asthma isn’t a new disease. It was first described in scientific
literature more than 90 years ago, says veterinarian Philip Padrid of the Family Pet
Animal Hospital in Chicago.
Nicki Reed, a veterinarian at the University of Edinburgh’s Hospital for
Small Animals, says that when a coughing cat is brought to the clinic, she must first
establish if the cause is an infection, asthma, or something more sinister, like a
lung mass.
To do this, Read usually performs an x-ray, takes a lung fluid sample, and
conducts a bronchcoscopy — an examination that uses a flexible microscope
inserted into the cat’s airway.
Most of the time, asthma is a mild disease, Reed says. But in some cases
cat's lungs collapse or their ribs fracture due to difficulty in breathing.
“I think if we can identify asthmatic cats quite early and get treatments on board to
suppress their cough, then hopefully we can avoid them coming to such extremes,”
she said.
