The USA and Indonesia have announced a strategic partnership to help Indonesia develop its nuclear energy programme, supporting Indonesia's interest in deploying small modular reactor (SMR) technology to meet its energy security and climate goals.
When you’re a small business owner trying to choose the right title to fit your position, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the number of choices you have—or to think your only options for business owner titles are “owner” or “CEO.”
Business titles for small business owners should be consistent with the company’s goals and objectives, but they should also feel personal. You’re the owner of your small business, but you also wear many other hats—and your business title should reflect your multifaceted role.
Costello is the former legal adviser for Michael Cohen. Cohen is one of the two key witnesses in the case, along with Stormy Daniels. Both have serious credibility issues.
Costello’s testimony further decimated any case that the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg may have thought he ever had. //

Costello’s testimony further decimated any case that the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg may have thought he ever had. //
Costello said that Michael Cohen has “far from solid evidence.” Costello said he used to be Deputy Chief in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, so he would know. Costello said he “never would have touched a guy” like Cohen (as a witness) because he was a convicted perjurer. Not to mention all the other lies that he told them that are in the emails that were being discussed, Costello said. //
Costello said that the prosecution wanted to ask him limited questions about six emails but that he managed to force the fact that Cohen said he hadn’t told Trump he made the payments to Stormy Daniels into an answer, presumably because the prosecution didn’t want the grand jury to hear it. But it sounds like he did get it in there.
Costello also told Tucker Carlson what Michael Cohen said about doing anything he had to, to stay out of jail. //
He explained Cohen said he hadn’t waived the attorney-client privilege. Costello then pulled out his waiver and said, “Is this the kind of witness you want to ride to the finish line?” just completely doing Cohen in.
Trump not knowing about the payment is one more thing that should end this case if this wasn’t a completely political effort.
A new report finds that last year China permitted the equivalent of two coal plants per week.
“Look, I think you should be able to be a billionaire if you can earn it, but just pay your fair share,” Biden tweeted. “I think you ought to pay a minimum tax of 25%. It’s about basic fairness.” The tweet cited one of his quotes, “You know the average tax billionaires pay? Three percent. No billionaire should be paying a lower tax than somebody working as a schoolteacher or a firefighter.”
He thinks you should be able to be a billionaire. Well, isn’t that nice? He’s going to let you. //
Twitter Community Notes wasn’t going to let that Biden false statement go by.
“This is incorrect,” the note said. Citing the Tax Foundation, they explained, “Avg income tax rate in 2020 was 13.6%. Top 1% of taxpayers paid a 25.99% avg rate, more than eight times higher than the 3.1% avg rate paid by the bottom half of taxpayers. It increased from 20.1%/2019 to 22.2%/2020.”
Translation? It’s the reverse of what Biden is claiming, it’s the bottom half paying that 3 percent number. //

I paid 53% taxes on my Tesla stock options (40% Federal & 13% state), so I must be lifting the average!
I also paid more income tax than anyone ever in the history of Earth for 2021 and will do that again in 2022.
@CommunityNotes, is the 3% number cited above accurate?

The Ancient Romans’ answer to barbed wire had been written about, but never seen by modern archaeologists. //
The sharp wooden spikes were very well preserved in the damp soil. //
An archaeological excavation in Germany has uncovered the first evidence of a Roman defensive technology described by Julius Caesar. The find was made at a site near the town of Bad Ems, where teams also found evidence of two military camps, challenging what we thought we knew about the history of this region. //
Acting like an Ancient Roman version of barbed wire, a structure of sharp wooden spikes like the ones found by Auth’s team would have likely extended around the perimeter of the camp, to deter attackers. In an incredible stroke of luck, this discovery was made on only the second-to-last day of the planned dig, when the excavation was winding down. The team also found a coin minted in 43 CE, helping them to date the structure with more accuracy.
.Software Jailbreak for Kindle PW2, PW3(B), PW3W, KT2, KT3(B), KT3W, KV, and KOA
The JailBreak, while fairly unintrusive itself, opens the door to pretty much everything you'll find on this forum .
As for USBNetwork, besides bundling a couple of useful tools, it will grant you remote shell access to your Kindle, be it over USB or WiFi.
Abstract: The purpose of this page is to bring together, in a concise way, much of the information found in the Kindle Developer's Corner concerning the Kindle Touch (KT) And Kindle Paperwhite (PW), regarding topics such as jailbreaks, modifications, and how to develop for the device.
“What do you say to those who have been affected [da lesioni da vaccino]?” Sievers asked Lauterbach, the German health minister, during an interview in ZDF’s “Heute Journal” on March 12
“What happened to these people is absolutely staggering, and any single case is one too many,” Lauterbach replied. “I honestly feel so sorry for these people. There are serious disabilities and some of them will be permanent.”
“It is true that under these EU contracts, the companies have been largely exempted from liability and that the liability, therefore, falls on the German state,” Lauterbach said.
However, despite this, the health minister noted that it would “definitely” be a good idea if biopharma companies “showed a willingness to help” people affected by vaccine adverse events, especially because of their “exorbitant” profits.
“So, it wouldn’t just be a good gesture, we should expect that,” he said.
While engine failures in all phases of flight are not very common among aircraft today, they were a fairly frequent occurrence, according to SKYbrary, an electronic aviation safety knowledge repository. The source also noted that statistics from the 1960s indicate that failures resulting in inflight shutdowns occurred at an approximate rate of 40 per 100,000 flight hours, equivalent to 1 per 2,500 flight hours, or every engine failing once per year. Today, the failure rate of the engines installed on current-generation aircraft is reportedly less than 1 per 100,000 flight hours.
Under the terms of the government’s nuclear submarine purchase, the first Australian-built Aukus class vessels come into service in the early 2040s. What else might be happening then?
According to the IPCC, at current rates, the planet will have warmed more than 1.5C above its pre-industrial state. In fact, many scientists believe temperatures could smash the 1.5C barrier as soon as 2030 or 2035 – that is, around about when Australia receives the first of its Virginia-class nuclear subs. //
It means drought and heatwaves disrupting food production, it means rising seas inundating the land, and it means millions of people fleeing regions suddenly rendered uninhabitable.
When you think about what the Australian people might require under such ghastly conditions, “nuclear submarines” do not top the list. //
With this deal, Anthony Albanese has now pledged vastly more money for hi-tech weaponry than Australia’s ever spent on preventing global warming. The $368bn allocated to nuclear submarines that may or may not ever arrive could, for example, have delivered a renewable energy grid, not once, nor twice but four times over.

Inspection and certification company Bureau Veritas (BV) recently signed an agreement with nuclear power technology developer ThorCon for the Technology Qualification and subsequent development of a 500MW molten salt nuclear power barge intended for operations in Indonesia. Thorcon has been promoting its technology to key Indonesian institutions since 2015, the year that, Indonesia decided to cancel its $8bn plans to construct four nuclear plants with a total capacity of 6GWe by 2025.
In 2014, Thorcon’s parent company Florida-based Martingale, completed the preliminary detailed design of its molten salt reactor, technical details of which were published at thorconpower.com “It is the basis for securing feedback, funding, and siting for the project,” it said, adding that “the goal for 2015 is to identify a host country and site for construction of the non-nuclear prototype ThorCon, along with funding to enable construction”. In January 2015 Martingale formally unveiled its ThorCon liquid-fuel nuclear reactor design, which uses uranium and thorium fuel dissolved in molten salt, and these same details are now available on the Thorcon website. At that time, production was expected to start by 2020.
Indonesia Power selected Oregon-based NuScale Power OVS, LLC (NuScale) to carry out the assistance in partnership with a subsidiary of Texas-based Fluor Corporation and Japan’s JGC Corporation. The proposed 462-megawatt facility would utilize NuScale’s SMR technology and advance Indonesia’s clean energy transition.

The ones violating the Constitution are the ones making all the infringements. Well regulated never meant government controlled. It meant well equipped with a regular, or standard kit necessary for fighting an enemy. Rifle, pistol, shot, wadding, powder, a decent knife and or hatchet, and clothing for the weather. To regulate something back when people spoke English and words meant things, it meant to make them standardized. ///
"Gifts" from the creator may give a better sense of the concept the founders and authors intended, rather than what rights have come to mean today.

I guess bad things are bound to happen in the center of the Venn diagram of Greed, Vanity, and The Most Toxic Compound Known. And maybe the only thing worse than real toxin is counterfeit toxin?
Glad I read to the end, though. Love horses.
