Moscow proposed wet-leasing Vietnamese aircraft, crews and maintenance, but any transfer would involve Airbus or Boeing jets, exposing Vietnamese carriers to secondary sanctions. Nearly a fifth of Russia's largest airlines' planes are already grounded, double the normal downtime rate. #Russia #Aviation #Vietnam

The nuclear submarine Le Vigilant successfully conducted a test launch of the strategic ballistic missile M51.3, marking its return to the operational cycle after three years of maintenance, as announced by the Ministry of the Armed Forces. #M51 #missilebalistique #France (translated)

Etienne Marcuz wrote that the strategic oceanic force had conducted a launch of an M51.3 missile that very morning from the nuclear submarine Le Vigilant. According to him, this launch validated the ship's return to operational cycle after three years of maintenance and constituted the first operational launch of the M51.3 from a submarine. He specified that the launch in November 2023 was a qualification test conducted from the DGA land test center. Marcuz indicated that he created an infographic with CalvaireDrach, presenting the stages of the launch, from the transmission of the order to the impact of the re-entry vehicles — without their nuclear payload — in the Atlantic Ocean, 4,700 kilometers west of the launch area. He explained that the diagram was based on American documents and that differences might exist between the French M51 and the American Trident II D5 systems, even though their general principles were common. He added that the technical details concerned were protected by confidentiality and requested that CalvaireDrach be credited in case of reuse of the infographic. #M51 #Missile #ForceOcéaniqueStrategique (translated)

Little Think Tank indicated that the Strategic Oceanic Force had carried out the first "operational" launch of an M51.3 intercontinental ballistic missile from the nuclear submarine Le Vigilant. According to the report, this launch had validated the submarine's return to operational status after three years of maintenance. The author clarified that this was the first launch of the M51.3 from a submarine. The previous launch, in November 2023, was a qualification test conducted from the DGA's Landes test center. Little Think Tank added that the reentry body or bodies, lacking a nuclear charge, had completed their trajectory in the Atlantic Ocean, about 4,700 km west of the launch area. #France #Militaire #Armement (translated)

Little Think Tank reported that a fire broke out that morning on board the nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which was undergoing maintenance at the naval base in Toulon. According to French authorities quoted by the account, the fire was reportedly caused by cutting work with a blowtorch in a technical compartment. It was brought under control shortly after noon and declared extinguished at 1:50 PM. Little Think Tank added that there were no reported injuries, that the ship's nuclear facilities had not been affected, and that an investigation had been opened. #Incendie #CharlesDeGaulle #Toulon (translated)

Животът не е това, което си мислите. Шастието не е в това, което си мислите. То е в производството на хормони на щастие в мозъка при високо снабдяване с кислород. Животът е в моментните преживявания добри или лоши. Кислородната недостатъчност най-много ощетява съществуванието на човека. Същността на старостта е в отслабената сърдечна функция и кръвообращението, забавени и отслабени жизнени процеси и намалено усвояване при орално приемане на всички важни вещества. То може да падне от 100% на 5%. Движението за поддържане на кръвообращението става от съществено значение. Сърцето се нуждае от кислород. Мозъкът се нуждае от кислород. Мускулите се нуждаят от кислород. Клетките се нуждаят от кислород. Тази сутрин ми хрумна генилната мисъл, която обяснява всичко. Гениалните мисли винаги ми се появяват сутрин, защото тогава атмосферата осигурява апогей на снабдяване на организма с кислород. Гениалното мислене се нуждае от кислород. Щастието се корени в нивото на „хормоните на щастието“, произвеждани в мозъка, което зависи единствено от снабдяването на мозъка с кислород. Същото важи и за възприемането и създаването на музика. Гениалността се крие в намирането на прости решения на сложни проблеми. Здравето може да се поддържа само с прости, гениални решения. Кислородът е най-важното вещество в тялото и в жизнените процеси. Без кислород няма живот, тъй като жизнените процеси стават напълно невъзможни. Организмът без кислород е мъртва материя. Течният кислород превръща керосина и спирта в ракетно гориво. Индентична е функцията му в организма. Нивото му определя степента на жизненост в цялото тяло, във всички процеси. Това води до максимално опростяване и поддържане на здравето. Само кислородът е важен и нищо друго. Захранването с кислород зависи от правилното функциониране на дихателните органи, а усвояването на кислород от клетките зависи от ензими производни на витамин B1, който се нарича дихателен витамин. Другите витамини от група B също са много важни. При приемане през устата усвояването е само 5%. Необходим е друг метод на усвояване. Намерих единственото решение, защото съм единственият способен да реши този най-сложен проблем. Втриване на прах с мокра ръка в кожата на тялото, не в крайниците, по 5 мг витамин на всеки 3-4 дни, до края на живота. Това е процес на осмоза. Веществата за 30 минути преинават на 100% в кръвта. Усъвършенстването на дихателната система се постига чрез системни дихателни упражнения с акцент върху максимално задържане на въздух. Това е необходимо, защото кислородът се свързва по-добре с хемоглобина под налягане в белите дробове. Задържане на въздуха за 20-40 секунди, 42 вдишвания за 30 минути, всяка сутрин, до края на живота. Резултатът е перфектно усвояване на кислорода, перфектно здраве и максимална жизненост. Всички други идеи за поддържане на здравето са напълно неефективни и безполезни. Лечението е невъзможно. Само слабите организми се разболяват и те не могат да се лекуват и възстановят. Здравите организми не се разболяват и не се нуждаят от лечение. Поради всички тези причини официалната и всяка друга медицина са несъстоятелни. Life is not what you think it is. Happiness is not found in what you think. It lies in the brain's production of happiness hormones when oxygen supply is high. Life consists of momentary experiences—whether good or bad. Oxygen deficiency is what most severely impairs human existence. The essence of old age is in weakened heart function and blood circulation, slowed and weakened life processes and reduced absorption when taking all important substances orally. It can drop from 100% to 5%. The movement to maintain blood circulation becomes essential. The heart needs oxygen. The brain needs oxygen. Muscles need oxygen. Cells need oxygen. This morning, I had a brilliant idea that explains everything. Brilliant ideas always come to me in the morning because that is when the atmosphere ensures the body’s oxygen supply is at its peak. Brilliant thinking requires oxygen. Happiness lies in the level of "happiness hormones" produced in the brain, which depends solely on the brain's oxygen supply. The same applies to the perception and creation of music. Genius lies in finding simple solutions to complex problems. Health can be maintained only with simple, ingenious solutions. Oxygen is the most important substance in the body and in life processes. Without oxygen there is no life, since life processes become completely impossible. An organism without oxygen is dead matter. Liquid oxygen turns kerosene and alcohol into rocket fuel. Its function in the body is identical. Its level determines the degree of vitality in the whole body, in all processes. This leads to maximum simplification and maintenance of health. Only oxygen is important and nothing else. Oxygen supply depends on the proper functioning of the respiratory organs, and the absorption of oxygen by cells depends on enzymes derived from vitamin B1, which is called the respiratory vitamin. Other B vitamins are also very important. When taken orally, absorption is only 5%. Another method of absorption is needed. I found the only solution, because I am the only one capable of solving this most complex problem. Rubbing powder with a wet hand into the skin of the body, not the limbs, 5 mg of vitamin every 3-4 days, until the end of life. This is a process of osmosis. The substances in 30 minutes pass 100% into the blood. Improving the respiratory system is achieved through systematic breathing exercises with an emphasis on maximum air retention. This is necessary because oxygen binds better to hemoglobin under pressure in the lungs. Air retention for 20-40 seconds, 42 breaths in 30 minutes, every morning, until the end of life. The result is perfect oxygen absorption, perfect health and maximum vitality. All other ideas for maintaining health are completely ineffective and useless. Treatment is impossible. Only weak organisms get sick and they cannot be treated and recovered. Healthy organisms do not get sick and do not need treatment. For all these reasons, official and any other medicine is untenable.

Jour 196, orbite 3037 — Tellement contente de contribuer depuis l’orbite à la recherche européenne en physiologie ! Je porte depuis six semaines une combinaison d’électrostimulation musculaire (EMS) pendant mes séances de cardio. L’enfiler et la retirer évoque mille souvenirs de sports nautiques 🏄. Qui voit de quoi je parle ? 😄 Grâce à l’électrostimulation musculaire du corps entier, cette combinaison active les muscles dans tout le corps pendant l’exercice, ce qui permet de rendre chaque séance encore plus efficace. C’est particulièrement important dans l’espace : plus notre entraînement est efficace, et plus nous pouvons consacrer de temps à la science ou à la maintenance, tout en restant mieux préparés à vivre et travailler sous gravité, de retour sur Terre ou, un jour, sur la Lune ou sur Mars. L’astronaute de l’ESA Matthias Maurer était le premier à tester ce concept lors de sa mission Cosmic Kiss. Les chercheurs cherchent désormais à savoir si l’EMS peut aider à préserver le tonus musculaire, la rigidité musculaire et la force fonctionnelle lors de longs séjours dans l’espace. 🌍 Ces recherches pourraient profiter aux futures missions d’exploration, avec des retombées également sur Terre, par exemple chez des patients en rééducation après une opération ou des personnes dont la mobilité est réduite.

3 secteurs dans lesquels je me refuse formellement d’investir : • Automobile : marges faibles, guerre des prix, aucun avantage concurrentiel durable, CAPEX de maintenance énormes • Banques : business model opaque, trop dépendant des taux et du levier, difficilement lisible • Biotech / Pharma : effet binaire permanent (succès total ou échec complet), dépendance aux essais cliniques, expiration des brevets pouvant entraîner une chute brutale des revenus C’est pour cette raison que vous me verrez assez rarement parler de Stellantis, Crédit Agricole ou encore Novo Nordisk. Ça ne signifie pas que tout est à jeter sur les sociétés de ces secteurs. D’ailleurs,je sais que pas mal de personnes ont réussi à générer des performances considérables sur certaines d’entre elles, Ça signifie simplement qu’elles ne collent pas à ma philosophie et à ma stratégie d’investissement. Je préfère des business simples, rentables, prévisibles et asset light (ou qui font du CAPEX de croissance) Visa, Google, Booking, Mastercard, pour ne citer qu’elles. #Investissement #Finance #Stratégie
