Have they been compromised? Will they be compromised? Can I audition to be a Brexiteer?

I expect this post will be deleted within ten and a half hours. How do you lose control of 'dial-in' weapons?

If the War comes back cancer research becomes less important.

I did warn it is politics this week.

These are the 'scalable nuclear yield' weapons they may have lost control of.

Should the U.S. Air Force withdraw the roughly 50 B61 nuclear bombs it stores at the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey? The question has come to a head after Turkey’s invasion of Syria, Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian leadership and deepening discord with NATO, Trump’s inability to manage U.S. security interests in Europe and the Middle East, and war-torn Syria only a few hundred miles from the largest U.S. nuclear weapons storage site in Europe.

ASK YOUR MP!

He wants to get the Nukes out - they are upgraded and have a power 'dial-in' function to between X and Y lethality.

What is Pence thinking? [I am VP so impeach him and I am BOSS]

What is Pompeo thinking? [Will I stand for Senate again whilst I plot a 2014 presidential bid?]

More politics.

Copied and pasted from the RNS:

'The Bank will optimise capital, continue to progress with its cost efficiency programme and target further income diversification.'

'Margin trends experienced in Q3 2019 are expected to continue into Q4 2019, in addition to the cost of servicing the senior non-preferred debt. Deposit growth will moderate in Q4 as we strike the right balance between growth, cost of deposits and capital efficiency.'

'The slow-down in the pace of the cost growth reflects delivery within the Bank's cost transformation programme. We expect cost growth to continue to moderate with low single digit growth in H2 2019 compared with H1 2019 with cost growth reflecting the current expansion of the business in Q4.'

'Net interest income in the third quarter was down 7% to £76.6 million (Q2 2019: £82.4 million)'

£15B out on loan and they make a loss - it will be interesting to see what the markets view is in the morning.

Article about Woodford on City AM:

The third worst performer for the year is Tissue Regenix Group, dropping 64.7 per cent. It has also fallen by a staggering 43.4 per cent since June. Woodford owns more than a fifth in the company.

Dan Coatsworth, stock market analyst at AJ Bell, says that this medical devices group could be particularly difficult to offload.

“Its share price has been in a falling trend since the start of 2017, suggesting that the market doesn’t have a strong appetite for the stock. Now only worth £37m, the company has recently been borrowing money to relieve working capital pressures.”

Whilst I expect few are interested in quantum annealing it is a research technique that interests me. D-Waves Leap platform allows more analysis than Google Tables ever offered.

St Helier, 16 October 2019 - Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc ("Caledonia") announces that the electricity supply situation at the Blanket Mine ("Blanket") has improved substantially in late August and September thanks largely to a timely and coordinated response from the Chamber of Mines, the Ministry of Mines, the Ministry of Energy and Power Development and the Zimbabwean Energy Regulatory Authority ("ZERA") which introduced a new electricity pricing schedule for the mining industry to support the funding of imported electricity which is used exclusively to supply participating mining companies.

Gwanda-based gold operation, Blanket Mine, plans to install a solar power plant to further reduce dependence on the national grid as well as reduce operational costs.

Maybe the sun will shine on VAST.

Thank you - any links?

Very stable country to invest in:
