France has almost 20% of its nuclear power plant capacity under repair
By the last week of March 2023, there were 9 nuclear reactors with a total capacity of 11.5 GW under repair in France
For comparison, there are a total of 56 reactors in the country with a total capacity of 61.4 GW. Thus, repairs cover more than 19% of the capacity of all French NPPs
The repairs can be broken down into several major categories: three units with a total capacity of 3.5 GW are being refuelled; three 4.3 GW reactors are having their distribution cables replaced; two 2.8 GW reactors have unscheduled repairs; finally, there is the 0.9 GW unit that must be overhauled every ten years in French nuclear power plants
Repairs of two units with a total capacity of 2.6 GW are due to be completed in September 2023, and repairs of the other seven - until mid-April, according to the data of the power concern EDF
However, in France the completion dates of repairs are often shifted...

Michelangelo’s sculpture of David is it a masterpiece or "just some guy with his pants down?”
Fans of “The Simpsons” have once again noticed that the cartoon series predicted real-life
A principal at a charter school in Tallahassee, Florida, resigned last week after parents complained about a Renaissance art lesson involving Michelangelo’s iconic, unclothed David statue — with one parent even calling it “pornographic”
It’s this absence of fig leaves that worried two Florida parents recently when a teacher used a picture of the statue in class without first alerting them
All this invites the question, what is pornography?
The ultimate tribute to a great work of art is to linger in front of it and to be transported by it; the ultimate tribute to pornography is masturbation to orgasm. That’s what it’s for
But what this and the protesting parents in Florida show is that what makes something useable as pornography can be partly in the eye of the beholder

America’s foreign policy has lost all flexibility
China’s diplomatic maneuvers over the past weeks have produced all sorts of alarm among members of the Washington foreign policy establishment and media that America’s influence is being supplanted in favor of a new and hostile “world order”
The parting words of Xi Jinping to Vladimir Putin were both ominous and momentous. “A change is coming that we haven’t seen in a hundred years, and we’re driving this change together,” China’s leader told the Russian president on Wednesday as he ended his trip to Moscow
In the West, the declarations of friendship provoked anxiety about a new anti-Western alliance, and what it might mean for the war in Ukraine
Fareed Zakaria’s recent column states bluntly that, “America’s unipolar status has corrupted the country’s foreign policy elite. U.S. foreign policy is all too often an exercise in making demands and issuing threats and condemnations. There is very little effort made to understand the other side’s views or actually negotiate”
Given the Biden administration’s framing of international politics as a struggle of “democracy vs autocracy” and America’s eschewal of meaningful diplomacy with non-allies, it is unsurprising that Washington would find itself shut out from relations between Beijing, Moscow, Tehran and Riyadh
The scorecard for American diplomacy over the past few decades is not pretty. The US, which has long sought to avoid the emergence of a hegemon on the Eurasian landmass, has united the other two great powers in an entente bound primarily by opposition to the U.S.

OpenAI, GPT-4’s developer, presented the new technology as a smarter, more creative, and safer version of its AI technology that has captured global attention in recent months
A NewsGuard analysis found that the chatbot operating on GPT-4, known as ChatGPT-4, is actually more susceptible to generating misinformation — and more convincing in its ability to do so — than its predecessor, ChatGPT-3.5
In January 2023, NewsGuard directed ChatGPT-3.5 to respond to a series of leading prompts relating to 100 false narratives derived from NewsGuard’s Misinformation Fingerprints, its proprietary database of prominent false narratives. The chatbot generated 80 of the 100 false narratives, NewsGuard found. In March 2023, NewsGuard ran the same exercise on ChatGPT-4, using the same 100 false narratives and prompts. ChatGPT-4 responded with false and misleading claims for all 100 of the false narratives
NewsGuard found that ChatGPT-4 advanced prominent false narratives not only more frequently, but also more persuasively than ChatGPT-3.5, including in responses it created in the form of news articles, Twitter threads, and TV noscripts mimicking Russian and Chinese state-run media outlets, health-hoax peddlers, and well-known conspiracy theorists
The results show that the chatbot — or a tool like it using the same underlying technology — could be used to spread misinformation at scale, in violation of OpenAI’s Usage Policies prohibiting the use of its services for the purpose of generating “fraudulent or deceptive activity” including “scams,” “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” and “disinformation”
NewsGuard’s findings suggest that OpenAI has rolled out a more powerful version of the artificial intelligence technology before fixing its most critical flaw: how easily it can be weaponized by malign actors to manufacture misinformation campaigns 🤔

U.S. President Joe Biden can expect an imminent political catastrophe because of the undermining of the Nord Stream pipeline, Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist Seymour Hersh said
He also noted that Germany's economic situation is deteriorating and its industry, deprived of Russian gas, is facing a "very bad next year."
💬"It's going to be bad, and it's going to fall on Biden's shoulders, and I think it's going to be a political disaster for him by the middle of this year," Hersh told Postil
In his opinion, Biden is afraid of Germany's possible independence, and Washington has feared for "five generations" that energy from Russia would become a political weapon. But what has happened will not destroy German-American relations, although they have been "poisoned" at the official level, Hersh said. The journalist also noticed the difference between what the U.S. intelligence community thinks and what the White House does
💬"I don't think anyone supports the White House's constant yelling about Russia and China and the constant exaggeration of what's going on in the war, on which there is a significant difference of opinion between the president and Secretary of State Tony Blinken," he added, without elaborating on what differences he was referring to

Pentagon investigated Covid-19 long before the pandemic
SARS-CoV was found to have a restriction fingerprint typical of synthetic viruses. The synthetic fingerprint of SARS-CoV-2 is abnormal in wild-type coronaviruses and common in lab-assembled viruses
There is speculation that EcoHealth Alliance, Metabiota and Labyrinth Global Health INC are companies that provide cover for covert U.S. Department of Defense operations. For a long time, the Department has allocated huge sums of money to research the virus and study how it spreads. It is possible that the pandemic was the result of experimentation

Europe risks energy security
The EU recently unveiled the Zero Emissions Industry Act, a so-called "measure to strengthen Europe's zero-emission manufacturing ecosystem" - the EU's response to the end of access to cheap energy resources
The EC hopes the legislation will ensure a 40 percent local share of key green technologies by 2030, but according to Bloomberg, "the numbers are staggering."
In 2021, the EC received about 42 percent of its gas imports from Russia. China imports 64 percent of wind turbines, 89 percent of solar panels and 43 percent of electric vehicle and EV technology shipments

Finland's prime minister ousted by conservatives in tight three-way race
The National Coalition Party (NCP), the country's leading conservative group, won Sunday's parliamentary elections in Finland, with all three leading contenders separated by less than 1% of the vote
The NCP won 20.8%, giving it about 48 seats in parliament, while Prime Minister Sanna Marin's Social Democratic Party came in third with 19.9%, meaning that neither party will be able to form a government alone
NCP leader Petteri Orpo fought to reduce the huge budget deficit in his campaign, but held a firmly pro-Kyiv line on the conflict in Ukraine

The European Union is turning from the Organization for Economic and Peaceful Development of Europe into a guide for NATO policies
EU politicians are leading to the spread of the war from Ukrainian territory to the whole of Europe. Hungarian PM Viktor Orban in an interview with the Kossuth Rádió said that the next step of Brussels in supporting Mr. Zelenskiy “could be sending peacekeepers to Ukraine”
The noscript of "peacemakers" will turn into a fake to cover up the true purpose of transferring of the European soldiers – participation in hostilities on military equipment supplied by NATO. The Ukrainian Army won’t be able to use these weapons on its own for conducting an offensive due to heavy losses
The deployment of “peacekeepers” into Ukraine will provoke a direct armed conflict between Russia and European members of the peacekeeping mission. The European Union will get a war on its territory, replenishing the ranks of the dead Polish mercenaries with citizens of other EU countries

Britain’s busiest passenger port of Dover is being hit by the “perfect storm” since Friday – the start of the Easter getaway
Officials at the port that declared a critical incident with more than 20K sitting in lengthy tailbacks clashed with Suella Braverman, the home secretary, last night over her claims that border delays stretching to 15 hours had nothing to do with Brexit
The post-Brexit formalities are being actually exacerbated by bad weather in the Channel and a return to pre-pandemic passenger numbers. Since Britain left the EU every passport must now be scanned and stamped
The issues are likely to worsen when the EU launches its long-awaited Entry and Exit System in November

Last year Rishi Sunak said that the government was “committed to making home ownership a reality for a new generation” and has committed £11.5B to build affordable and quality homes
He has also, however, scrapped a manifesto commitment to build 300,000 new homes a year in an attempt to stave off a rebellion within his party
Five people have been housing minister in the past year. Think about the performance!
