The magazine reported Tuesday that Trump said during a private conversation while he was in office that he needed generals like Adolf Hitler's. "People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders," he said, The Atlantic reported, citing two people who said they heard him make the remark. Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals,'" The Atlantic reported Kelly as saying. Kelly also told The New York Times in a series of recent interviews published online this week that Trump told him that "Hitler did some good things."

☆ Ukraine gives the US a sweet deal with one dead Russian soldier for every $20,000 spent on drones, unit commander says
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Matthew Loh | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

A Ukrainian drone commander says his unit can use $100 million to carry out 5,000 lethal strikes, per The Atlantic. The big takeaway was that, on average, for each $20,000 spent on his unit, Ukraine could score one kill on Russian forces. According to The Atlantic's writers, the commander's slides said that a drone unit funded with $100 million could stay on the battlefield for a full year, carrying out 5,000 lethal strikes. AdvertisementThe commander is based out of Kharkiv, according to his Telegram channel, which publishes clips of his drones attacking Russian forces and equipment. In February, Ukraine's then-military chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, called for a mindset shift away from a reliance on Western aid and instead toward cheap drones.

Along with the top- and bottom-line numbers, Wall Street is also keeping close watch on net interest income and guidance. "We see the greatest sources of potential earnings upside being driven by higher loan growth and capital markets." Barclays analyst Goldberg anticipates a slight decrease in net interest income in the second quarter due to a compression in net interest margin. Last year, the company posted $21.9 billion in net interest income for the period. Despite expectations for seasonally lower trading, he also expects strong investment banking activity and net interest income to drive ongoing positive momentum.

For breakout pop star Chappell Roan, the journey to success has been full of twists, turns and detours. Roan, whose given name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, signed to Atlantic Records at age 17 after gaining popularity on YouTube. She released her debut EP "School Nights" in 2017 and, a year later, moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of Willard, Missouri. In April 2020, she released a song called "Pink Pony Club," inspired by a night at a gay club. Commercially, however, it underperformed Atlantic's expectations and the label released her, Roan told Pitchfork last year.

An earlier lawsuit by Planned Parenthood argued that the law violated patients' right to privacy. Susanna Birdsong, a lawyer for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, responded that abortion providers have had to make that more conservative interpretation because of the “onerous penalties” for noncompliance.

☆ First long-haul flight fully powered by sustainable aviation fuel takes off
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-28 | by ( Jenni Reid | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Flight100, Virgin Atlantic's world first 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) transatlantic flight by a commercial airline is fuelled ahead of its take off from London Heathrow to New York JFK on Tuesday 28 November 2023. LONDON — The first trans-Atlantic flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel departed London for New York on Tuesday as the industry seeks to prove the viability of greener air travel. Sustainable aviation fuel — also known as SAF — is an umbrella term for non-fossil-derived fuels, including biofuels derived from plant or animal materials, municipal waste and agricultural residues. It still produces emissions, but proponents argue the overall "lifecycle emissions" from the fuel are significantly lower than from regular petroleum-based fuel. There are relatively few SAF production plants or companies transporting it globally, with incentives for producers hampered by low margins.

Persons: Shai Weiss Organizations: Aviation Fuel, SAF, New York JFK, LONDON, New York, Virgin Atlantic's Boeing, AirBP, Virgin, U.K, Civil Aviation Authority, Royal Society, Virgin Atlantic, Government Locations: London Heathrow, New York, London, New

It follows the successful transatlantic crossing by a Gulfstream G600 business jet using the same fuel last week. SAF is key toward reducing those emissions, but it is costly and accounts for less than 0.1% of total global jet fuel in use today. The fuel used to power Tuesday's flight is mostly made from used cooking oil and waste animal fat mixed with a small amount of synthetic aromatic kerosene made from waste corn, Virgin Atlantic said. Yet the 2030 target looks challenging given SAF's small volumes and its high cost, right now about three to five times as much as regular jet fuel. Virgin said the engines on the flight would be drained of SAF and tested before it returns to service using regular fuel.
