Alouette 1 was Canada's first satellite, launched September 29, 1962.🧵

It made Canada the third country in the world to design and build its own satellite, after the Soviet Union and the United States Image
Designed for a one-year life, it kept working for about ten years before being switched off in 1972

Its long, tube-like STEM antennas (a Canadian invention that unrolled from a coil like a carpenter's tape measure) became a widely copied piece of spacecraft technology. Image
The round white ceramic sockets with holes in the centre are vacuum tube sockets

Alouette 1 was designed at the very end of the tube era and used a mix of vacuum tubes and early transistors Image

Santo Tomás de Aquino parou a Summa Theologiae na Terceira Parte, Questão 90, e nunca terminou. Image
O projeto da Suma Teológica teve início em 1265, em Roma, motivado pela insatisfação de São Tomás com os manuais de teologia disponíveis para a formação dos frades dominicanos.

Ele buscava uma exposição sistemática bem estruturada da doutrina cristã, organizada em três partes:
Prima Pars (Primeira Parte)

Dedicada a Deus, Sua existência, atributos e a criação.

@gianlucatdc @UnrollHelper Facciamo lezioni di democrazia.

Ma caxxo, in Italia abbiamo il voto di scambio (ed è la punta dell'iceberg), la mafia decide chi vince, qua in Sicilia lo chiamano "voto organizzato" - voti quello che ti dice il datore di lavoro SE voti, perché al Sud hanno ritirato la tessera
@gianlucatdc @UnrollHelper ...a tanta gente - e no, non la vai a rifare che se ne accorgono.

Qui si parla tipo "quanto è il voto libero" come se fosse normale che non tutti hanno il voto libero...

La democrazia non è solo il voto, ma noi siamo una repubblica delle banane.

Io ero iscritto ad AVS
@gianlucatdc @UnrollHelper ...era SI ai tempi, andavo alle riunioni, e questi parlavano apertamente di voto libero e voto non libero.

Cioè era inutule cercare il voto in certi ambienti, che si vota quello che dice il "padrone", cercavano il voto dei liberi professionisti - perché quelli possono votare.

Jews of Yemen: Before There Was a "Middle East" (1/3)

Chapter One: Before There Was a "Middle East"

[Image: "Job and His Friends," painting by Ilya Repin (1869), the Russian Museum, St. Petersburg]

There was a community that told its own story as having been there even before the destruction of the First Temple. There's no way to fully verify that, but there's archaeological evidence that comes remarkably close.

Even Before Himyar

The Bible itself already knows the name "Teiman": Eliphaz the Temanite, one of Job's three friends, is considered the earliest biblical link between the name and the community. There is also a possible, though uncertain, hint in the writing of the first-century historian Josephus: he writes that he sent word to "the most remote Arabians" about the destruction of Jerusalem, and the common scholarly guess is that he meant the Jews of Yemen.

Two Physicians and a King Who Converted

Even before Dhu Nuwas, another tradition tells of a Himyarite king named Abu-Kariba As'ad, who laid siege to the city of Yathrib (today's Medina) to avenge his son's death. During the siege, the king fell gravely ill, and two Jews with medical knowledge from the city — Ka'b and As'ad — healed him and persuaded him to end the siege. The king did not stop at ending the war: he converted to Judaism himself, along with a significant part of his army, and brought the two Jews back with him to teach his people. This was not a complete conversion of the entire kingdom — polytheists continued to live alongside them — but it is evidence of a gradual process that preceded the reign of Dhu Nuwas himself.

A Jewish King in Arabia

In the early sixth century CE, in the kingdom of Himyar in southern Arabia, a king who fully embraced Judaism rose to power — Yosef Dhu Nuwas. This isn't legend: a stone ring found in Zafar, the kingdom's capital, bears the name "Yitzhak bar Chanina" along with an engraving of the Ark of the Covenant. Excavations at the Zafar site itself have also uncovered a seal bearing an image of a Torah-ark niche and Hebrew inscriptions — direct archaeological evidence that a real Jewish community lived in the kingdom's own capital, alongside Christian and polytheist residents. Jewish graves from Himyar dating to the third century have been found at Beit She'arim in the Land of Israel — meaning that even then, Jews from Yemen were being buried in the holy ground, a sign of an active connection between the communities, centuries before anyone spoke of organized immigration.

Founding Traditions

The Jews of Yemen themselves told several versions of how they first settled there: merchants sent by King Solomon to seek gold and silver for the Temple; a large group that accompanied the prophet Jeremiah before the destruction of the First Temple; a ban placed on them by Ezra the Scribe for refusing to return to Jerusalem. These aren't documented facts in the precise historical sense — but they reveal something important: the community saw itself as especially ancient, rooted, not as a late addition to Jewish history.

It Wasn't Always Easy

In 525 CE, the kingdom of Himyar fell to an Abyssinian-Christian invasion. Dhu Nuwas, so the story goes, took his own life rather than witness its fall. The Jews of Himyar continued to exist afterward, but under persecution and torment, until the Abyssinians were eventually driven out with Persian help. That, too, is part of the story.

The community survived. In the seventh century, when Islam reached Yemen, a new chapter opened — but the Jews remained, and rebuilt, again and again, for more than a thousand additional years.Image
Chapter Two: A Letter From Far Away (2/3)

[Image: Yemenite Jews studying Torah in Sana'a]

In 1172, when a local messianic movement arose in Yemen amid intensifying persecution, Rabbi Yaakov ben Netanel al-Fayyumi, head of Yemenite Jewry, sent a question to one place - Fustat, in Egypt.

Maimonides Writes to Yemen

Maimonides — the same physician to Saladin we already met in the Egypt chapter — responded with an explicit letter of encouragement and strength: the "Iggeret Teiman" (Epistle to Yemen). This was not a general reply. Maimonides addressed the false-messiah phenomenon that had arisen in Yemen out of despair and suffering directly, and expanded on the true nature of prophecy and the correct way to face persecution without falling into false hope. This was a complete halachic-philosophical response from the greatest Torah authority in the Jewish world at the time, addressed directly to a small, distant community facing an existential crisis. This connection — between Maimonides and Yemen — would continue to echo for centuries to come.

Sana'a: A Thousand Years of Continuity

The community of Sana'a was the greatest center of Torah learning in Yemen for more than a thousand years, until the mass immigration of 1949. It was home to the central rabbinical court of all of Yemen, and to the "Great Yeshiva" — every day, after the morning prayer, all the city's Torah scholars would gather in one of the important synagogues and study together for two to three hours. This wasn't a formal, bureaucratic institution. It was a daily rhythm of life that lasted for generations.

Safed's Kabbalah Reaches Yemen

In the sixteenth century, the influence of the sages of Safed reached Yemen, carried by travelers and by books printed there that began arriving southward. The Kabbalah of the Ari penetrated every area of life in Yemen: religious law, customs, poetry, and homiletics. This is another connection, alongside the one we already found in Morocco, showing that Safed wasn't only a "center of influence" but a crossroads that absorbed and returned influences from every corner of the diaspora.

An Internal Dispute — the "Dor Deah"

Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Rabbi Yihye Qafih rose in Sana'a and founded the "Dor Deah" ("Generation of Knowledge") movement — a rationalist current that sought to return to Maimonides' pure approach and shake off the accumulated influence of Kabbalah. This was not a quiet, uniform community. It was a living community, with real internal debates over the future of its own tradition.Image
Chapter Three: The Communal Flourishing (3/3)

[Image: Rabbi Shalom Sharabi (the Rashash)] [Image: A Jewish goldsmith at work, Hadhramaut]
Yemenite craftsmanship wasn't a hobby. It was an entire economy, largely in Jewish hands.

The Craftsmen of All Yemen

Nearly all the jewelry in the country — both silver and gold — was made by Jewish silversmiths. The ornate rosewater towers found in every Yemenite home, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, came out of Jewish workshops. This was expertise passed down through generations, recognized by Jews and Muslims alike as true craftsmanship.

The 1901 Discovery

In 1901, Hermann Burchardt, a wealthy German Jew who loved documenting remote peoples, photographed the community of Sana'a — probably the first time in history it was documented this way. Burchardt had studied Arabic and Turkish and set out from Damascus on a long journey that led him to Sana'a, where he lived with the community for nearly a full year. When he published the photographs in a Jewish newspaper in Germany, European Jewry was stunned: they saw a community that looked as if it had stepped straight out of the Bible — a way of life that had survived almost untouched by the European influences that had already transformed Jewish life in the West.

A Hard Trial — the "Nafar" Siege

In 1904–1905, when Yemenite rebels under Imam Yahya laid siege to Sana'a against Ottoman rule, the city was struck by severe famine. About two-thirds of the Jewish community died of starvation. The community, nonetheless, rebuilt itself afterward — as it had done again and again throughout its history.

What Remains

The community of Sana'a, more than a thousand years old, continued without interruption until the mass immigration of 1949. Until then, the Jews of Yemen preserved a distinct tradition of their own — not fully absorbed into the Sephardic tradition like other Eastern communities, and not into the Ashkenazi one either — a third, independent community, with a voice of its own.Image

@threadreaderapp @_d000v1 @KayaNakamura @luhuangtaiwan Só terminando o Pessi a vida inteira foi carregado por arbitragem; foi assim na Champions, vou deixar um link abaixo, onde o juiz deixou de marcar 4 pênaltis contra o time dele e não expulsou um jogador do time dele. youtube.com/shorts/MPR19DG…
@threadreaderapp @_d000v1 @KayaNakamura @luhuangtaiwan Favorecimento no campeonato espanhol, basta procurar no Google "negreiro espanhol juiz". Um escândalo onde o juiz foi subornado pra favorecer o barcelona. Na última Copa que ele teve 5 pênaltis em 7 jogos. Se isso não tivesse acontecido, a Argentina teria caído na fase de grupos.
@threadreaderapp @_d000v1 @KayaNakamura @luhuangtaiwan E agora de novo nessa Copa, onde a Argentina teria perdido hoje por 3x0 ou 3x1 se o jogo fosse limpo: gol ilegítimo da Argentina, pênalti não marcado pro Egito e um pênalti que o Pessi perdeu que não foi. Esse cara a vida toda foi favorecido por arbitragem, jogador superestimado.

So what changed, IOC? Russia’s terrorist war and invasion of Ukraine, or your bank accounts?
This is why Putin continues to invest billions in propaganda and cultivating Western politicians and organizations. He still believes there’s a way back despite being a war criminal dictator, who just yesterday killed dozens more innocent civilians in Ukraine.
Trump is presiding over the 2028 games in Los Angeles and is always doing everything possible to rehabilitate Putin and Russia. This type of soft power is always a priority for Putin, and thus for Trump.

@_d000v1 @KayaNakamura Pênalti pro Egito que não foi marcado, Pênalti irregular pra Argentina que o Pessi perdeu, gol anulado legítimo contra a Argentina e gol ilegal da Argentina marcado... Mas imagina, isso não afeta em nada e claro que mostra que o Pessi é um grande jogador e decidiu o jogo...🙄
@_d000v1 @KayaNakamura Tanto o CR7 quanto o Pessi foram muito mal nas Copas e na última o argentino foi claramente favorecido: 5 pênaltis em 7 jogos. Mesma bosta nesse torneio. O Egito o Brasil venceu. Sem a arbitragem ajudando teria sido 3x0 contra a Argentina que provavelmente será campeã.
@_d000v1 @KayaNakamura Graças à arbitragem. Isso não influencia tanto? Precisa ser muito casual pra achar que não. Todo jogo a Argentina é agraciada com um pênalti, qualquer esbarrão no Pessi é falta o que torna muito difícil marca-lo, tanto que os argentinos tão cientes e imitam o Neymar caindo.

🚨中国のレアアース「世界支配」に重大な弱点を中国科学院院刊の最新研究が警告した

レアアースの高付加価値分野の核心特許は、米国・日本が大部分を握る
中国がレアアースを支配しても技術覇権を握れない理由とは?

(※)長文になります Image
まとめ

中国科学院に掲載された最近の研究によると、中国はレアアースの採掘・生産能力で世界をリードしているものの、先端機能材料に関する重要な特許では米国と日本に大きく後れを取っていることが明らかになった。 Image
永久磁石、触媒、発光材料、研磨材などの分野では、米国と日本が特許の80%以上を保有している。これは業界における中国の構造的な弱点を露呈しており、たとえ全面的な禁輸措置を講じたとしても、欧米・日本諸国がサプライチェーンを再構築するのを阻止するのは困難だろう。 Image

Esta es la despedida para una generación extraordinaria. Sobre todo la generación de James y Quintero, poetas malditos, pero qué afortunados fuimos.

Nos dejaron tres mundiales de cuatro, un subcampeonato de Copa América y un nuevo gen competitivo.
Porque aunque suene a broma, Colombia no pierde un partido eliminatorio en los 90' minutos desde hace diez años (Semis de Copa América). Cuatro veces en penaltis y la final de 2024.

Se dice rápido.

Con buenos equipos, con equipos regulares, con equipos que jugaban mal.
Llevamos un equipo veteranísimo al Mundial. El único jugador sub 23 del plantel es Gustavo Puerta, por lo que al próximo Mundial, todos estos menos Gustavo y Carlos Gómez, llegarán con mínimo 30 años, si llegan.

Judas felt terrible about what he did.

He went back to the chief priests, threw the silver down, and said: "I have sinned. I have betrayed innocent blood." — Matthew 27:4

That sounds like repentance.
It wasn't.

🧵 A devotional on the most devastating difference in the Christian life — remorse vs repentance.Image
Judas wasn't a random villain inserted into the story.

He walked with Jesus for three years.
He heard every sermon. Witnessed every miracle.
He was trusted enough to carry the disciples' money.

But John tells us something quietly devastating:

"He was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it." — John 12:6

The betrayal for thirty pieces of silver didn't begin in the upper room.

It began in a thousand small surrenders to the same sin nobody was watching.

What we feed in private eventually acts in public.
Here's what makes Judas's story so haunting:

Peter also betrayed Jesus that same night.
Three denials.
Out loud.
In front of witnesses.

Both men felt crushing guilt afterward.

But Peter ran back to Jesus.

Judas ran away from Him to the wrong people, with his confession, looking for relief that religion could not give.

"I have sinned," he told the chief priests.
They said: "That's your problem." (Matthew 27:4-5)

Remorse looks for somewhere to put the guilt.

Repentance brings it to the only One who can remove it.

A few patterns we frequently use with Fable 5:

Use Fable 5 as an "advisor."

An executor (Sonnet 5) calls Fable 5 for guidance.

Most tokens are billed at the lower executor rate. Image
On SWE-bench Pro, Sonnet 5 + a Fable 5 advisor tool gets ~92% of Fable 5's score at ~63% of the price.

Fable 5 is called rarely (~once) per task to steer while Sonnet 5 executors the majority of the work.

See our docs to learn more:
platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents…Image
A second strategy: use Fable 5 as an orchestrator.

Fable 5 plans and delegates to workers (Sonnet 5).

Most tokens are billed at the lower worker rate. Image

1/7 - Saiu o Convocados 2025 e o retrato do futebol brasileiro em 2025 é ambíguo. Mas o principal recado está em duas linhas:

Receita total da Série A: R$ 14,3 bi (+32% vs 2024).
Dívida agregada: R$ 17,3 bi (+15% vs 2024).
Pela primeira vez em anos, a receita cresceu mais que a dívida. Boa notícia. Mas o que sustenta essa receita muda tudo.Image
2/7 - De onde veio o salto de receita:
Transferência de atletas: R$ 3,9 bi (+62%).
Receitas comerciais: R$ 3,1 bi (+36%).
Mundial de Clubes: aporte pontual, não replicável no ano que vem.

Já a receita RECORRENTE, a que efetivamente paga a folha todo mês, cresceu apenas +12%, para R$ 9,5 bi.
A foto está boa. O filme, nem tanto.Image
3/7 - Para onde foi o dinheiro que entrou:

Salários na Série A: R$ 6,5 bi (+22%).
Contratações de atletas: R$ 4,4 bi (+17%).
Despesas financeiras (juros sobre a dívida): R$ 1,7 bi (+105%).

Repito: as despesas financeiras dos clubes da Série A mais que dobraram em um ano. Entrou muito, mas foi consumido por folha, transferências e juros antes de virar caixa.

Reminder: The Seth Rich conspiracy theory was seeded and amplified by Russian intelligence and state media as part of a broader disinformation operation aimed at deflecting blame for the 2016 DNC hack and sowing distrust in U.S. democratic institutions during the election cycle.
Investigations by journalist Michael Isikoff and others found that U.S. intelligence officials traced the origins of a key “Seth Rich” narrative to Russian foreign intelligence which planted a fake story on an obscure conspiracy website known to carry Russian propaganda.
NPR: "Russian intelligence operatives planted a fake report claiming that Rich was the person who gave DNC emails to Wikileaks, and was then murdered by assassins working for Hillary Clinton."
