Daz, gen 1 the harsh environment (temperature ranges is an issue) Nanonano knows a lot more than me. I was only reading last night this article where it states “ As part of its IEDM paper, STMicroelectronics showed that its device met the current consumer electronics industry standard for reliability, although Steckel added that ST is working on higher temperature stability so that it can address more demanding applications.”. However date of the article is unknown.

Hope the link works, but here are the photos caught via slow motion on my phone when rewinding the part that the ad we’re placed in First Dates. As I said when watching, it seemed that the billboard was there and real (I don’t see the placement). I only noticed when rewinding on Sky at x2, I saw at a blink of an eye the windows of the building.

Sad but true, just watched this weeks first dates. Right at the end, one of the couples walk out on to the street in Bath and a Peroni billboard advert is on a building. (The programme is sponsored by Peroni). I didn’t think much about it, just thought oh advert! But I needed to rewind, when I did for a split second you can see that it’s been placed in to the scene as you see the building without the advert. Playing forward you just see the billboard and it looks like it really there (only rewind you see it’s placed). Anyway what was interesting is that Channel 4 didn’t put any notice that the programme includes placed advertising. If I get chance (and know how) I’ll post the links to the advert placed and unplaced.
I went with the post office. Hasting Direct wanted the below
This year's total price £215.04
Last year's total price £152.34
Post office for this year £142. But I added “no claims protection” and the post office included legal protection which the above didn’t. Just received house insurance renewal and that went up 46%, shopping around tomorrow!
And a got it cheap
I’ve been out all day mostly driving so missed the action! US holding interest rates and saying March cuts are not a given could see negative market tomorrow, BoE tomorrow as well. Anyway see what tomorrow brings, probably missed the highs.
The article if you can’t read it.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement on 22 November was dominated by a cut to national insurance rates and tax breaks for business investment.
But under the radar, a host of other updates on everything from short-selling regulations and crypto to venture capital trusts and foreign direct investment should keep City professionals busy in the months ahead.
Financial News rounds up the news you might have missed from the showpiece fiscal event.
Short-selling disclosure thresholds to change
Hedge funds take note: The government has published draft legislation for its planned short-selling regulations.
The new rules give the Financial Conduct Authority the power to restrict short-selling in “exceptional circumstances where there is a serious threat to financial stability or market confidence”. The FCA can impose restrictions on uncovered shorts — where sellers haven't actually borrowed or confirmed they would own the shares at the time of sale — when appropriate under the rules.
The requirement to report net short positions to the FCA goes back up from 0.1% of issued share capital to 0.2%, however. That legislation isn't final: industry professionals still have until 10 January to weigh in on the technical aspects.
This is why the chancellor was discussing it (think Bloomberg tv).
