Botelho a worthy Award Winner
This year, Brazil and the world have been celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first flight at a public event by Brazilian Alberto Santos-Dumont.
With his imminent retirement next April as president and chief executive officer of Embraer, Mauricio Botelho must be seen as another Brazilian aviation hero, one who turned a small money-losing company into a vibrant world-class aircraft manufacturer.
Botelho spent the first 15 years of his working career at Embraer before leaving to pursue other opportunities. When he returned in 1995, Embraer had been privatised and was embarking on production and delivery of its first regional jets, several years behind competitor Bombardier.
The Embraer ERJ-145 had its maiden flight just weeks before Botelho came on board. First delivery was in late 1996, and the company has never looked back. Nearly 1,000 aircraft based on the ERJ-145 platform have been delivered to 87 operators around the world. A decate on, the ERJ-145 program has reached the 10 million flight-hour milestone.
Under Botelho’s leadship, Embraer has had a penchant for seizing market opportunities. It saw an unfilled market niche for aircraft seating 70-110, and its four-model 170/190 program has won 731 orders to date from airlines around the world.
Embraer also used the ERJ platform to develop an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft, and to produce the Legacy, its first foray into business jets. It is now raking in orders for three other business aircraft in development.
Botelho’s “legacy” is a dynamic company, one of Brazil’s leading exporters, investing in its employees and technology to produce top-notch aircraft.

UEMG 2008HISTORY OF MONEY IN THE UNITED STATES

Thousands of years ago, people used many different kinds of money. Sometimes they paid for food and clothes with animals as money. Sometimes they used food as money to buy things. Later, people began to use metal coins to buy things. They used silver, gold, and copper for money. At that time, silver was more important than gold. People often used silver and money.
Americans used many other kinds of money before they had dollars and cents. The first people who came to that country traded with the Indians they found there. The Algonquin Indians in the northeastern United States used shells for money and called it wampum. They also used beads, blankets, and animal furs for money. There were some problems when people used these things for money. They were large and heavy; people couldn’t carry them in their pockets. It was difficult to know how many beads or shells they needed to buy something.
More people went to America from many different countries. They brought louis d’ors from France, guineas from England, pistoles from Spain, and thalers from Germany. People used these coins in America too. There were problems when they only used coins. Sometimes they needed a lot of coins to buy something. A large number of coins is very heavy. It is difficult to find a safe place to keep a large number of coins.
Anyone could print money, and many people did. Banks, insurance companies, stores, and schools printed many different kinds of paper money. The money had different values; that is, it had a different meaning in different places. The same money might have more value in Massachusetts than it did in New York.
In 1863, President Lincoln made a law. This law said that only the United States government could print money. The law gave them the kind of money they have today. At that time, people could take their money to banks. At the banks they could get a certain amount of silver in exchange for the money. In 1873, the banks began to give gold for paper money. The idea worked if too many people did not go to the banks at the same time. Banks did not always have enough gold. The government stopped this about 50 years ago. Americans can no longer go to banks and get gold for their money. The government will not exchange anything for paper money.
The value of money they use today is not the same as animals or food. It is not the same as an amount of silver, gold, or copper. The way people used money a long time ago may have been easier than it is today. They knew what is meant. Today the money in our pockets means different things at different times.
