The Pentagon says China is undergoing a major expansion of its nuclear forces and is moving toward having 1,000 nuclear warheads by 2030. But Beijing has long resisted arms control talks with Washington, arguing that the United States already has a much larger arsenal. But Xi signaled during a Communist Party Congress in October that China would strengthen its strategic deterrent, a term often used to describe nuclear weapons. We're saying, let's talk about putting some guardrails into the relationship so that we don't have unnecessary crises," he said.

☆ SEC Advisory Panel Recommends Oversight of U.S. Accounting Rule Maker
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( Mark Maurer | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +4 min

The SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee, a group of investors, academics and financial advisers, recommended setting up another advisory committee to ensure the Financial Accounting Standards Board remains politically independent. PREVIEWRoughly 260 accounting and tax experts in November 2021 asked federal lawmakers to not tie the then-proposed tax to income metrics reported to investors. The new advisory group would consider ways to strengthen financial reporting in areas such as intangible assets, for example internally developed software, the Investor Advisory Committee said. SEC staff attend the FASB’s advisory committee meetings as formal observers and provide insight to help with rule making but lack the voting power of full board members. The FASB should then factor those costs into the cost-benefit analysis it conducts when drawing up new accounting rules, the SEC Investor Advisory Committee said.

Totodată, egiptenii antici au mumificat nenumărate pisici și chiar au creat primul cimitir de animale din lume. Creaturi speciale care merită atențiePentru egiptenii antici, aceste calități însemnau că pisicile erau creaturi speciale care merită atenție. Acestea erau adorate atât de mult încât egiptenii antici își numeau sau porecleau copiii după feline, inclusiv numele „Mitt” (ce înseamnă pisică) pentru fete. Obsesia egiptenilor antici pentru pisici nu a fost întotdeauna un lucru bunMulte cercetări au sugerat că această obsesie nu a fost mereu un lucru bun.

Filmat impecabil, jucat cu gust, la limita dintre teatru și film, montat după vechile reguli, dar modern de dinamic. Pentru ceilalți filmul rezervă o poveste captivantă, o energie revoltătoare și o lume zguduită de nedreptăți. Un exemplu din realitate în care binele este pedepsit din cauza incompetenței și a opiniei publice care abia așteaptă să taie în carne vie. O poveste convingătoare care ilustrează abuzul de putere al celor mai influente instituții din America – guvernul și presa. Vorbind despre film, este unul înfricoșător, dur și consistent; o poveste care ne înfățișează foarte realist soarta unui om mic implicat într-un război mare.
