Few individuals have shaped the trajectory of an entire industry the way Ozires Silva
shaped aviation. As a military pilot, engineer, entrepreneur, and public servant, Silva did not
merely found Embraer - he repeatedly rescued, redirected, and reinvented it.
[ו]
After joining the Brazilian Air Force at the age of 17, he flew missions across remote
areas of the Amazon. There, he saw firsthand the vast distances and difficult terrain that
separated Brazilians from one another, and began to understand aviation's power not just
as a tool of transport, but as an agent of national integration.
[II]
After graduation, he joined the Centro Técnico Aeroespacial (CTA) and led the design
of a small regional aircraft, the EMB-110 Bandeirante. But when it came time to move from
prototype to production, Silva faced a defining obstacle: no investor would back the project.
Brazil's industrial elite believed aircraft manufacturing was too risky, too expensive, and best
left to the Americans or Europeans.
[III]
Under his leadership, Embraer launched successful aircraft like the Xingu, the
Tucano, and the EMB-120 Brasilia, proving that Brazilian technology could compete
globally. Each aircraft addressed a logistical challenge for Brazil while being designed with
international scalability in mind.
[IV]
The privatization, completed in 1994, marked a turning point. Embraer quickly
transitioned from a government-dependent firm to a lean, focused competitor in the
international market. That transformation paved the way for the ERJ-145 regional jet, a
commercial success that secured Embraer's position as a leader in regional aviation.
In 2021, Silva received the Daniel Guggenheim Medal, the most prestigious award in
aeronautical engineering, becoming the first Brazilian to earn the honor. His personal
convictions and professional decisions were inseparable from the company's transformation
from a state-backed experiment into one of the world's most competitive aircraft
manufacturers.

PARÁGRAFOS SUPRIMIDOS E EMBARALHADOS
(A) With conviction and diplomatic skill, Silva took his case to the federal government. In
1969, his efforts bore fruit: the state created Embraer, and Ozires Silva became its first
president. As Silva built Embraer from the ground up, he faced the full spectrum of
challenges: funding gaps, foreign competition, military skepticism, and bureaucratic inertia.
But he also gained allies - engineers, test pilots, and industrialists who believed in the
mission.
(B) Silva's story begins not in a boardroom or a laboratory, but in the interior of Sao Paulo
state. Born in 1931 in Bauru, he came of age in a Brazil that relied on imported technologies
and foreign industries. His journey began not with ambition for wealth or fame, but with a
simple, patriotic question: Why can't Brazil build its own airplanes?
(C) Determined to change his country's course, Silva enrolled at the Instituto Tecnologico
de Aeronautica (ITA), a newly created engineering school designed to empower Brazil's
aerospace future. There, he honed the technical skills needed to turn vision into reality.
(D) Though the company grew, Silva realized Embraer's long-term success required
independence from political cycles. In the late 1980s, he stepped away to serve as president
of Petrobras and later as Minister of Infrastructure. But Embraer faltered under state control,
and by the early 1990s, it faced severe financial trouble. Silva returned in 1991 to lead a
bold and controversial initiative: privatization.

Brazil's last asbestos miners are switching to rare earth minerals. Can they offer a
brighter future?
Minaçu, a small city in inland Brazil and home to the only asbestos mine in the
Americas, is set to become the first operation outside Asia to produce four rare earths on a
commercial scale. [...]
Until now, China has dominated the separation of rare earths, and accounts for 90%
of the manufacture of rare-earth magnets, or super magnets, which are made with these
elements and used in electric cars, wind turbines and military equipment such as jets.
But in April, China restricted its exports of the minerals in response to US tariffs,
causing uncertainty over global supply. Brazil's incipient production could hardly be better
timed. To stimulate the sector, the Brazilian government has issued a call for tenders with
an investment forecast of 5bn reals (£670m) in projects related to the supply of strategic
minerals, such as rare earths. [...]
Rare earths are a group of 17 elements with high magnetism and the ability to absorb
light, features that make them essential for the transition to clean energy. Some of the most
coveted are neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium - used in the
manufacture of electric motors and wind turbines, two industries that fuel the demand for
rare earths, which have doubled globally between 2015 and 2023. [...]
For Minaçu, rare earths are the promise of a fresh start. In 2017, Sama, part of the
Brazilian company Eternit, was compelled to halt the asbestos mining that for 50 years had
shaped the town. The temporary permit granted for export extraction two years later
permitted it to keep operating, but with diminished capacity.

The Secret Agent: 'truly special' Brazilian thriller barely puts 'a foot wrong'
Wagner Moura is 'soulful and seductive' in starring role as an academic on the run
Set during Brazil's military dictatorship in the
1970s, this political thriller is "populated by so many
characters", you may despair of keeping track of who
is who, said Deborah Ross in The Spectator. But "do
hang on in there", as it repays the effort. Justly
nominated for four Oscars, this is a "truly special" (if
rather sprawling) film.
Wagner Moura (known for playing Pablo
Escobar in the Netflix hit "Narcos") stars as Marcelo, a widowed academic
who has gone on the run from a pair of hitmen. Quite why they are targeting him isn't initially clear but there's a lot else to
think about in the meantime: there is a "hitman hired by the hitmen"; there's a corrupt police
chief; there's a "head-scratcher" of a sequence in which a human leg "comes to life and kicks
gay people". It is, in sum, a heady mix, but it barely puts "a foot wrong", and the performances
are superb.
"If you're expecting a Brazilian 'Bourne', forget it," said Tom Shone in The Sunday
Times. "For a film about a man shadowed by two assassins, 'The Secret Agent' has a
daringly languid pace". Gradually, "a disquieting paranoia begins to creep into everything"
until "even the sunlight seems off".

Tech for good: What it means and how we can deliver on it
The sector encompassing health tech, education tech, cleantech, femtech and
enterprise environmental, social and governance (ESG) software is seeing increased
investments, reaching $79 billion globally in 2021. But at the Tech for Good Institute (TFGI),
we found that varying definitions across the tech for good ecosystem meant varying
expectations. Without a shared understanding of tech for good, it's no surprise that the jury's
still out on whether technology is delivering a net positive impact.
In February 2023, TFGI ran a flash poll on public perceptions of tech for good in
Southeast Asia. Of the 212 respondents from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, only 46% strongly agreed or agreed that technology and
the digital economy have delivered their promise for the region. Almost as many (37%)
stayed neutral. [...]
Responsible digital economy companies examine their systems, processes, products
and services to identify and mitigate negative consequences in upstream development and
downstream impacts of products and services.
Digital technologies can be inherently values-driven, so upstream considerations
include developing systems with inclusion, security and data protection baked in, with
transparency to build trust. For example, developers can proactively ensure datasets that
train algorithms are unbiased or design systems for frictionless data sharing or systematic
data protection.
Downstream considerations include maintaining consumer choice and protecting
livelihoods and users' health and well-being. With rapidly evolving digital technologies,
operating responsibly is a moving goalpost. As regulators pay attention to players in the
digital economy, the business case for mitigating negative impacts can be as straightforward
as maintaining licences.
In our poll, only 14% of respondents thought responsibility alone constituted tech for
good, suggesting sustainability is necessary but more is needed.

Every year, 6.5 million dogs, cats, and other former pets are abandoned or lost and enter shelters. But
of all these animals, only 3.2 million are adopted and many see shelters again after less than a year of finding a
new home.
Deciding to adopt a pet is an enormous responsibility. As such, many people choose to foster these pets as the shelters search for a permanent home. If you yourself choose to adopt permanently, be sure you are financially stable enough to support a living creature, have enough space for the pet to be comfortable, and that all other living creatures in the house (other pets, children, adults) are willing for such a big change.
With publicly available data from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Humane Society and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, we can better understand the unfortunate circumstances so many pets find themselves in, to better improve their short lives.

Obesity is an epidemic that represents a public health challenge. According to the World Obesity Atlas
2025, the total number of adults living with obesity is expected to increase by more than 115% between 2010
and 2030, rising from 524 million to 1.13 billion. The scenario is even more concerning because most countries
worldwide lack sufficient plans and policies to address rising obesity levels.
It is in this context that the so-called “weight-loss pens” are gaining increasing traction. These are injectable medications that mimic the action of the intestinal hormone GLP-1 (and, in some cases, also GIP), increasing satiety and improving glycemic control. Initially developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, these drugs are also now among the main approved therapies for obesity treatment.
GLP-1 agonists are medications that mimic the action of the body’s natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon‐like peptide‐1), which plays a role in blood sugar control. They bind to receptors on cells – like fitting into a “lock” – and activate these receptors to produce effects similar to those the hormone itself would cause. This is the case with semaglutide.
Dual agonists work similarly but act on two different receptors simultaneously: in addition to GLP-1, they also act on GIP, an acronym for gastric inhibitory polypeptide. This is the case with tirzepatide, which acts on the brain and gastrointestinal tract to reduce appetite, increase satiety, and slow gastric emptying.
Although effective for weight loss, the rapid weight reduction promoted by these medications is not limited to the loss of body fat. Part of the weight lost can also come from lean mass, which is composed of muscles, bones, and organs.

Before Halo became the killer app for Microsoft's Xbox console, it was actually supposed to be a thirdperson shooter for Apple's Macs. CEO and company founder Steve Jobs even introduced the game to the world
on stage during 1999's Macworld Conference, which still had an epic theme tune and aliens but was otherwise
very different to the Halo we know now.
“We got up on stage with Steve Jobs at Macworld and we talked about it there,” co-creator Marcus Lehto remembered in an interview with Kent State Magazine […]
Looking for studios and exclusives to bulk up its Xbox launch slate, Microsoft eventually called the studio, which was at that point in a spiky financial situation. “And then Microsoft said, ‘Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you and move you all to the Pacific Northwest, and then we're going to have you build this game for the Xbox.’”
I'm guessing that was creative, incomplete paraphrasing on Lehto's part, but imagining Bill Gates and Steve Jobs embroiled in some kind of tech billionaire civil war over the rights to Halo does bring a smile to my face. The rest is history, though – Halo: Combat Evolved launched alongside the OG Xbox and the series has become synonymous with Microsoft's consoles ever since.
