C'est bien cela Joyeux anniversaire mais il me semble que le mouvement des cypherfunks avait commencé dès sauvetage des banques et Lehmann brothers et la quasi totalité des cadres aux USA qui avaient quasiment tout perdu et une grande partie sans logement dormaient dans leur véhicule et couchaient près des plages... à vérifier
Pas de problème sur Améthyst vous devriez quand même travailler avec nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z nous surtout moi qui suis anti Apple dès Steve avait commencé à en faire une affaire de pognon et de sortir des nouveaux produits sans trop plus d'amélioration en plus je suis devenue un anti Apple.

Un réel paradoxe
Apparently according to an outlet I've never heard of, the UK police are getting period tracker data on people with pregnancy losses. https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2023/10/30/british-police-testing-women-for-abortion-drugs/
...I did really not need to do period tracker discourse again. The question remains: what is this data useful to prove? Unless how long the people were pregnant was otherwise unknown, I genuinely don't understand what period tracker data adds.
(The drug testing is actually legitimately a big deal.)
Une atteinte aux libertés ' ce qui ne change en rien les problématiques liées à la gestion d'une démographie à moins qu'ils veuillent revenir à l'époque de Dickens des parents déclassés qui n'ont rien pour vivre et les enfants délaissés..un réel problème de retour en arrière en Europe qui se referme de plus en plus sur elle-même avec des disparités sociales incommensurables ai comme l'impression qu'elle revient à ces heures sombres d'entre 2 guerres mondiales..
😅😅 tu m'as Mallory alors que j'étais trop stressée par les produits d' anesthésie auxquels je fais des réactions qui surpassent les chirurgiens..idem j'adore le riz et ne peut passer une journée sans en manger.. Et en Asie il n'y a qu'en Thaïlande qu'on en fait frit de toute sorte idem qu'en en Inde ou le riz cantonais de la Chine . Sinon en Europe, l'Italie,l'Espagne Portugal France il y a de ces recettes régionales à base de riz de terroirs à tomber... Réellement je te croyais là-bas en Asie ... Prochaine conférence on fera en sorte que soit nous qui décidons du Lieu afin que soit accessible pour tous en termes de distance et budget , depuis l'appel aux zaps de jack vers ceux du Japon, il a fini par évoquer Nostrasia. Pourquoi le Brésil sur Rio ou Salvador de Bahia ou Aracaju, Guiteres Porto seguro ...on s'y régale en plus des milliers de kilomètres de plages du poisson et fruits de mer à gogo sans oublier les churrasqueiras..'où il n'y a pas même pas besoin de trop rechercher un hébergement ou dans les 4 corners aux USA..je lui aurais bien fait l'organisation les billets aux niveaux des tours operator à tarifs préférentiels etc ... Mais bon on verra..je vous embrasse tous et à+ si tout va bien .
Merci Boston, ça me rend nerveuse puisque j'ai un soucis avec un des produits d'anesthésie. En tous les cas profitez du Japon, de leur gastonomie, des produits de la Tech, du calme et attitudes ... régalez vous à tout instant de la culture japonaise et faites exploser cette conférence avant l'anniversaire de nostr🔥🤲🙏🫂🙌🇯🇵🇭🇰
Bon séjour surtout émerveillez nous comme d'habitude ' Professionnellement top concis sans fioritures .. Compliments 💜🫂🙌
😅😅trop drôle vous êtes trop normalement c'est que les Thaïs qui font du frite rice les autres copient ....vous êtes alors a Nostrasia ou pas ..? Si c'est le cas je vous envie à mort. .les billets de l'aérien pour Japon équivalent à certains mensuels pour ma part c'est irraisonnables depuis la fin de la pandémie de manière j'aurais annulé car on m'opère demain et n'aurais pas le droit de voyager pour un bon mois
😅😅 restez zen et lisez s'il vous où faire du rangement ou aller marcher ... ça aide 🫂 💜
"War Is A Racket" For These 25 'Defense' Companies
"War Is A Racket" For These 25 'Defense' Companies
Retired US Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler said it first and said it best: "War is a racket. It always has been..."
But what often goes unsaid is his next sentences:
"It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives."
And indeed, every year, the world’s most powerful countries spend billions of dollars on so-called 'defense'.
But where does this money actually flow?
To gain insight, https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-top-25-defense-companies-by-revenue/
.
Note that their graphic shows each company’s revenues from defense, and not total revenues. This is because many companies such as Boeing also generate revenue from non-defense related industries and sectors.

The U.S. and China are the most represented countries on this list, with 12 and four respective companies in the top 25.
Country Highlights: U.S.
The U.S. consistently has the world’s largest https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-largest-military-budgets-2022/
, so it’s no surprise that American companies dominate this ranking. Here are some interesting facts about the top three:
Lockheed Martin
Formed in 1995 by the merger of Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta
While primarily known for producing advanced fighter jets like the F-35, the company is also working with NASA on the https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/orion-spacecraft/
RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies)
Raytheon produces a wide range of military equipment, including the Javelin portable anti-tank missile system.
According to https://www.csis.org/analysis/will-united-states-run-out-javelins-russia-runs-out-tanks
, the U.S. has supplied 7,000 Javelins to Ukraine, equal to roughly one-third of its stock.
Northrop Grumman
Formed in 1994 by the merger of Northrop and Grumman Aerospace, this company is known for developing the B-2 stealth bomber.
In August 2023, the company opened an office in Taiwan to “accelerate access to the company’s technologies”.
Country Highlights: China
China’s top three companies in this ranking are all state-owned enterprises.
Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC)
AVIC is China’s largest aerospace and defense company, also ranking 150th in the Fortune Global 500 (2023).
Chengdu Aerospace Corporation, a subsidiary of AVIC, produces China’s first operational stealth fighter, the J-20.
China North Industries Group (CNIG)
CNIG does business internationally under the name Norinco Group.
In 2003, Norinco was sanctioned by the Bush administration for allegedly supplying Iran with missile technologies.
China South Industries Group (CSIG)
CSIG produces military vehicles, ammunitions, and other equipment.
The company also owns Changan Automobile, a major car brand in China and one of the https://www.visualcapitalist.com/global-ev-production-byd-surpasses-tesla/
.
Other Highlights
Two European companies on this list that aren’t typically associated with the defense industry are Airbus and Rolls-Royce.
Airbus is one of the world’s largest producers of commercial airliners, and is https://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-well-known-airlines-by-fleets/
alongside offerings from Boeing. When it comes to defense, Airbus produces a variety of military drones, fighters, and transports.
On the other hand, Rolls-Royce is a major supplier of aircraft and naval engines, and designs the nuclear propulsion systems for the UK’s submarine fleet.
It actually has no affiliation with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, which is currently a subsidiary of BMW. The original company ran into financial difficulties in the 1970s, which led to the separation of the car and aero-engine businesses.

Americans Traveling To Europe Now Forced To Take A New Step
Americans Traveling To Europe Now Forced To Take A New Step
(emphasis ours),
A new travel requirement for Americans visiting most European countries was delayed again to sometime in 2025, officials said.
?itok=MbMRluiG
The requirement involves an online travel authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System, or ETIAS, and it applies to the visitors of 30 European countries. That includes popular destinations such as France, Spain, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Portugal.
Now, the system “will be ready to enter into operation in Spring 2025,” said a brief https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/meetings/jha/2023/10/19-20/
after a meeting of the Council of the European Union earlier this month. "The new roadmap for the delivery of the new IT architecture foresees that the Entry/Exit system will be ready to enter into operation in Autumn 2024," it also said.
In a recent update to the European Union website for ETIAS, it said that "mid-2025" is when the new travel requirements will go online. No applications are being processed or "are collected at this point," according to the https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias/what-etias_en#etias-in-a-nutshell
.
Multiple reports noted that the system was supposed to go into effect in 2021, but it has been postponed several times since then.
It's not just travelers from the United States who will have to register online. Travelers from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Israel, Mexico, and dozens of other countries—including some located on the European continent like Albania, Montenegro, and Ukraine—will have to adhere to the requirement.
The new system is being adopted by 27 countries in Europe’s Schengen Area as well as several others.
?itok=BGgHeyYh
The European Commission, the executive decision-making organization for the EU, https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/MEMO_18_4362
system years ago.
The system, meanwhile, will https://www.eulisa.europa.eu/Activities/Large-Scale-It-Systems/EES
the information and biometric data of travelers. That includes face scans and fingerprints, while stamp passports will be phased out.
This system, elaborated the European Union's https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen-borders-and-visa/smart-borders/entry-exit-system_en#:~:text=EES%20will%20replace%20the%20current,duration%20of%20their%20authorised%20stay).
, "will replace the current system of manual stamping of passports, which is time-consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings, and does not allow a systematic detection of over-stayers."
Travelers will have to fill out an ETIAS application form before traveling and pay a $7 fee. However, some applications may take several weeks if additional information is needed from the traveler, while some may have to obtain an interview, according to the EU website.
“We strongly advise you to obtain the ETIAS travel authorization before you buy your tickets and book your hotels,” said the EU website, adding that the authorization is valid for three years.
A European Commission https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2022-07/European%20Travel%20Information%20and%20Authorisation%20System-ETIAS-memo_en.pdf
that was sent out earlier this year about the new travel rules described ETIAS as a "largely automated IT system" and said the ETIAS travel authorization is "not a visa."
Problems?
Some officials have expressed alarm over the proposed new system.
Gareth Williams, a director at Eurostar—which operates trains to France from London—said that "we don’t currently see a practical solution. If we take the peak of August, up to 80 percent of people will have to go through the system," reported The Independent.
The new system will likely increase processing times at European airports. “If the [biometric] process is added to the entry process, careful logistic planning is crucial to avoid congestion,” Kuan-Huei Lee, associate professor of tourism at Singapore Institute of Technology, told National Geographic.
But, “If you forget to do it, you won’t board the plane,” Sofia Markovich, a travel advisor and founder of Sofia’s Travel, told CNBC earlier this month, referring to applying under ETIAS. “After 9/11, things changed in the world,” she added. “It’s really about keeping things safe and knowing who comes in and who goes out.”
“It’ll be a minor hassle, but it’s not unusual for countries to have entry requirements like this one,” Cameron Hewitt, content and editorial director at Rick Steves’ Europe, told the Washington Post. “It certainly shouldn’t cause anyone to rethink a trip to Europe. From what we know, ETIAS looks like it’ll simply be a manageable bit of red tape.”
The update comes as the U.S. State Department recently sent out a worldwide alert to Americans overseas due to an elevated possibility for terrorist attacks, coming in the midst of high tensions in the Middle East.
"Due to increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the Department of State advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution," the alert https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/worldwide-caution.html
earlier this month.
The issuance of the rare worldwide alert bulletin came after demonstrations and riots across the Middle East earlier this month in response to the conflict in Israel. The designated terrorist group Hamas attacked multiple areas in southern Israel, leading to an extensive bombing campaign in Gaza.
