Question

Alguém me ajuda ?

Lara Croft, adventurer and archeologist, flees through an underground cavern from a pack of pursuing dogs, only to find her way blocked by a chasm. Cornered, she reaches over her shoulder into her backpack, retrieves an orange bottle, and drinks its contents. Revitalized. She gives the dogs the slip and sprints to safety.
So runs the latest British television commercial for Lucozade, a soft drink. Ms Croft, the energetic computer-generated herroine of the “Tomb Raider” games, was the obvious person to star in it. But if a character from a computer game can appear in a advertisement, what about the other way around! Why not put ads in computer games!

Brazil’s national parks left in limbo
Some of Brazil’s most important national parks exist only on paper because the government has failed to buy the land. This could wreck conservation efforts by stopping the government from enforcing laws which prevent hunting and logging in the national parks.
Six national parks, that were created in 1989, are affected by the delay, says Eduardo Martins, a former president of the government’s environment agency Ibama. They include Superagui on the coast of Panamá state in southern Brazil, which is home to a rare, recently discovered species of tamarin; the Chapada dos Guimarães, a rare ecosystem 1000 metres above sea level in Brazilian midwest; and the Chapada dos Veadeiros in Goiás state, an area of unique savana-like vegetation that is home to the maned wolf.
The process of buying land in long and complicated, even when the political will exists to carry it through says Martins. “Because the land situation in Brazil is so complicated you often get several people claiming to be the owners”, he says.
The problem has been made worse by the government’s indecision. It has not settled this year’s budget, leaving Ibama with little money with which to buy land. “Even when the budget is determined, it doesn’t mean that Ibama will necessarily get the money.” He says.
However,others say the problem is caused by a lack of political will. Congress Sidney de Miguel os the Green Party, who has raised the issue in Brazil, says there is “a total lack of interest on the part of the government in consolidating these areas”.
The Ministry for the Environment and Amazonia has admited that these reserves in the north of the country that are open only to rubber tappers no longer exist because the land in question had not been bought within the five years stipulated by the law. The ministry blames “a shortage of resources”.
