In São Roque, Brazil, the balloon industry is poppin’—at least, figuratively. In this “MADE HERE,” Valter N. Sakaguchi, production supervisor at Latex São Roque, walks us through the latex balloon factory he’s worked at for the better part of three decades. Can the brain differentiate a fake laugh from a real laugh? Sandro Lobo, a Brazilian Laughter Yoga instructor, believes not. He uses body movements and 'children's spirit exercises' with yoga breathing to make people laugh for no reason. The purpose is to bring more health, well-being, awareness and happiness into people's lives. On May 9, 2020 the scientific community will come together for a first-of-its-kind, live-streamed event in support of Doctors Without Borders / MSF and front-line healthcare workers in the global fight against COVID-19. LIVEMEDAID brings together the world’s leading doctors, scientists, writers, thinkers, and cultural influencers to debate, collaborate, and share ideas about what we can learn from this virus, how to defeat it, and what we can expect as we move toward the future. Brazilian electrician Glauber Pereira has already made more than 2,400 units of wheelchairs for dogs and cats that have been sent to various cities in the country. Glauber does not profit from the design and charges just what he spends on materials used. Today, he counts on the help of a cousin to make the chairs and makes three to four units a day. Each takes about two hours to be made. The legendary low-budget invention from Brazil, the Moser lamp has been implemented in more than 350,000 homes worldwide.
