The language spread and is now the language that everyone speaks. Nearly 100 percent of the population speaks a moderated version of the language. Not a lot of the original dialect remains. The people who speak other languages in Brazil are usually immigrants or people who travel and learn to speak other languages. Brazil is very isolated compared to their huge size and places that attract tourists. It is so very common that the people of Brazil speak Portuguese. English is taught in schools but at a minimal level. People in Brazil are many times mistaken to be spanish speakers. Spanish is so close the the Portuguese language that it sounds very similar.

The Portuguese Empire lasted over six centuries, beginning in 1415, with the conquest of Ceuta, a Moroccan port on the straits of Gibraltar, and one of Europe’s first attempt at colonization in Africa. This move was orchestrated by Prince Henry, who was known as ‘the Navigator’. It was because of Prince Henry that Portugal became an imperialist country, he studied navigation, and made improvements on inventions like the astrolabe and compass, his goal was to make Portugal the most powerful sea power in the world. Prince Henry sponsored many naval explorers such as Bartolomeu Dias (who rounded the tip of Cape Hope in 1488) and Vasco de Gama. Three years after Ceuta, a group of uninhabited islands were found off the coast of Portugal, they were named the Madeiras, and almost immediately people began to settle there, they as well as the Azores islands (another set of uninhabited islands found in 1445) remain an autonomous part of Portugal today.
As one of the countries we examined to place a Dunkin’ Donuts, was Portugal. Portugal was founded as a republic in 1910 after a revolution had taken place. Since then Portugal has become a part of the National American Treaty Organization, the United Nations, and the European Union. They are still a 3 branch Republic with both a President and Prime Minister, where they have a Parliamentary Particracy government system. Here in this type of government one or more political parties will lead the government rather than residents and/or elected officials. A party is voted upon by the people of Portugal and the winning party will then appoint all leadership. Portugal has been portrayed as a very stable country in recent years. In an article

Hair analysis is a useful tool to analyze and observe the substances in the human body. Hair growth is affected by these substances, as well as by other factors. Ethnicity, environment, where on the body the hair is from, age, gender, etc., can all affect how hair grows. Even hair dye and bleaching can affect the hair, amongst other factors. Because of all this variability, properly measuring hair growth rate and most importantly, properly measuring its results can be difficult. Particularly, the effects of drug consumption are constantly researched. How to do the research and deciding what the results mean are difficult to definitively ascertain. What is the cut off?, how does frequent drug consumption play a role?, what about the lag between doses? These are all uncertainties involved with hair analyses and their results.

Imagine living in a country where you would have to wear a respirator mask to breathe at all.
Living in a world where there is no guarantee of a safe tomorrow, where every breath we take is toxic and every morsel of food we eat is filled with pesticide, protecting and saving mother earth should top our to-do list. But sadly, this is the least of our concerns. We are at the tipping point, on the verge when we cannot go back and rectify our mistakes and if we delay any further, it’s going to be too late. There are questions we need to ask ourselves and the governments from time to time: Are our governments doing enough to protect our green? Are they pitching in enough money to save our environment? And if they are, is all the money put to its rightful use? Better coordination between governments and proper funding is required to
