Brazil astronaut to do nano research 9 February 2006 Brazil's first astronaut, who is due to fly to the International Space Station at the end of March, will conduct nanotechnology research while in orbit. Lt. Col. Marcos Pontes, speaking Wednesday at his first news conference ahead of the March 30 blastoff, said he was expected to conduct nine nanotechnology-related experiments and also would use the space station's photo and video cameras to monitor his country's territory. Pontes, 42, will fly to the ISS under an agreement signed by the leaders of Russia's and Brazil's space agencies in October 2005. The Brazilian is undergoing training at a cosmonaut training center outside Moscow, the RIA Novosti news agency reported. Pavel Vinogradov, Russian commander of the 13th expedition to the ISS, said he and U.S. astronaut Jeffrey N. Williams had "a long list of assignments" to perform during their six months in space, including numerous scientific experiments and two space walks apiece. Pontes will spend a week on the space station, before returning to Earth with American William McArthur and Russian Valery Tokarev, the crew of the 12th expedition. Brazil's first man in space said he believes in God and senses his compatriots' prayers for him.

The election of Jair Bolsonaro is a milestone in Brazil's history, not only by breaking the decades-long polarization between PT and PSDB, but mainly because of his 10 million votes margin ahead of his opponent. A victory based on the campaign promises that result in a strong repositioning of Brazilian society. This is a shift towards the right-wing policies, a huge step regarding what we have experienced in the economy, domestic and foreign policy, education, culture, health and public safety. In fact, our society’s disgust comes from the various crises we are going through. The economic crisis that devastated the country, with consequences so harmful to both employment and income, accompanied by rampant corruption, also stirred up the yearning to recover the morale of our people. Jair Bolsonaro represents this sentiment, that is, an alternative path to our ills; a point off the curve in relation to the politically correct and a hope of realignment of forces toward order and progress. Its little explored platform of government contains the essence of what is expected: not a savior of the fatherland, but a technical and honest government..

Paulo, o jornalista Jânio de Freitas comentou sobre o artigo de autoria do vice-presidente da República, Hamilton Mourão, publicado no jornal O Estado de S. Paulo. De acordo com o jornalista, o setor militar teria sido o único a não ser criticado pelo vice-presidente. Mourão afirmou que os militares não tiveram participação no “estrago institucional que está levando o país ao caos”. Segundo Freitas, a publicação deste artigo poderia induzir para os militares a imagem de Mourão como uma alternativa que reverta o desgaste das Forças Armadas. Conforme o colunista, o texto do vice- presidente mencionou a interferência do Judiciário no governo, “os militares nunca absorveram, ou nunca entenderam, a função do Supremo como verificador da adequação de atos governamentais e decisões parlamentares à Constituição e seu sentido”.

Segismundo SANZ FERNANDEZ de CORDOBA President Mr. Mike COLLINS USA M. Christian MARCHAL France Mr. Ulf MERBOLD Germany Mr. John F MILES United Kingdom Mr Valery KORSUN Russia In attendance : Mr Thierry MONTIGNEAUX FAI Asst. Secretary General Apologies: Mr. Yuri TARASOV Russia Mr. John GRUBBSTROM Sweden 1 WELCOME BY THE PRESIDENT M. Segismundo SANZ FERNANDEZ de CORDOBA welcomed all those attending. 2 APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING The minutes of the previous meeting (21 April 2006) were approved without correction. The following matters arose from those Minutes: Para 6(a) “Gold Space Medal” : Mr. Montigneaux reported that the 2006 FAI General Conference had agreed that both FAI Gold Medals should be of equal status. As a result, the By Law concerning the Gold Space Medal had now been moved from Chapter 12 (awards made by Commissions) to Chapter 11 (awards subject to the approval of Vice Presidents). Mr. Montigneaux pointed out to delegates that a practical implication of this decision was that nominations for the Gold Space Medal would from this year on be submitted directly to FAI Vice Presidents for approval. Although there was no formal requirement for prior screening by ICARE, the views of ICARE would be of special interest to Vice Presidents, and would be passed on by the Secretariat.

Cabo Daciolo (Patriota) João Amoêdo (Novo) Geraldo Alckmin (PSDB) Ciro Gomes (PDT) Fernando Haddad (PT) Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) FIRST ROUND ANALYSIS The first round of the elections came to an end and was marked by the importance of social networks, especially Whatsapp, and by the amount of Fake News. Television time, an instrument hitherto used as a fundamental tool for consolidating votes has proved not to be individually enough to leverage a candidacy. PSDB's candidate Geraldo Alckmin made alliances with the center parties to get as much television time as possible, and because of the negative aspects of those alliances and the failure to identify voters' aspirations, he was not able to grow ST in the polls. Alckmin won the party election and lost the 1 ROUND TIMELINE popular election, with a hesitant and failed campaign and in being the anti-PT candidate and the third way.
