Boris Johnson disclosed another delay Wednesday to an “economic crime” law, which he claims would finally deconstruct the “Matryoshka doll” Russian Oligarch Money in UK Politics and control of UK firms and homes.

As British Prime Minister Boris Johnson prepares to confront Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, he faces charges of leaving the financial back door wide open by failing to address a “sewer” of Russian Oligarch Money in UK Politics flowing through the United Kingdom.

“We do need to stop dirty Russian money flowing through London and every other financial city,” he told lawmakers, demanding that New York, Paris, and other financial hubs should be included in the sanctions campaign.

“No country is doing more to address this issue than the UK,” the prime minister asserted.

Estimated Wealth of Russians in the UK
According to Britain Broadcasting Corporation ( BBC News ), Many wealthy individuals and companies from Russian Oligarch Money in UK Politics and worldwide invest legitimately in UK financial and property markets.

But the anti-corruption organisation Transparency International has identified at least £1.5bn of UK property owned by Russians accused of financial crime or with links to the Kremlin.

In 2020 UK Home Office published a national risk assessment on money laundering and vis a vis the risk to national sovereignty.

According to the report and well document, it was estimated that Russian nationals have steadily increased the flow of cash influx in the Uk

“The UK continues to see a significant volume of Russian, or Russian-linked
illicit finance channelled through the UK economy, through various
regulated and unregulated sectors, including company formation and
related professional services, as well as property.

The UK’s company formation mechanisms provide the necessary corporate vehicles for transferring funds through the international financial system. This vulnerability is regularly exploited to move Russian-linked illicit finance into the UK.

The Danske Bank Estonia money laundering scandal, highlighted the ongoing popularity of UK legal entities for abuse by Russian money launderers. It emphasised how sectors may be exposed to these flows.

Banks, for example, can be affected both via direct transactions their
customers have with customers of affected banks, and through funds they
may clear as part of correspondent banking agreements with other banks.

To manage this risk, the UK continues to encourage firms to take a risk-based approach in establishing and maintaining relationships with
jurisdictions with higher levels of corruption.”

The FATF’s recent evaluation of Russia
FATF concluded that Russian authorities have an in-depth understanding of money laundering risks in Russia and strong utilisation of financial intelligence. However, it stressed the need for Russia to enhance its approach to supervision and the prioritisation of complex money laundering cases, especially about cases involving the proceeds of corruption and other crimes that have been sent overseas to be laundered.

In the UK, this money is often invested in high-end UK real estate, private
school fees, luxury vehicles, and sometimes as donations to cultural institutions.

These investments not only represent the end destination for this
money but can also act as a mechanism for individuals to launder their
reputation, improving their standing and influence in UK society. This poses
a significant reputational risk for the UK as a global financial centre.

Countering The Threat of Russia Illicit Money
According to the Home office, the use of several methods to tackle the threat of growing illicit money.

“When countering the threat of illicit finance linked to Russia, UK activity
focuses on key jurisdictions overseas that are used to facilitate the movement
of Russian-linked illicit financial flows to the UK.

https://askpius.com/2022/02/27/plasma-propulsion-engine-and-space-travel/

Plasma engine was first used in 1997 in a real-time 3D video called headspin and was developed by Headspine technologies.

A plasma propulsion engine is an electric propulsion system that uses quasi-neutral plasma to create thrust.

While Ion thruster engines, on the other hand, create thrust by extracting an ion current from a plasma source and accelerating it to high velocities using grids/anodes.

sample of a thruster engine
thruster Engine
What are Plasma Thrusters
the literature way of defining plasma thruster is very secluded from other engines. Plasma thrusters are usually designated as “ion engines”.

Plasma rockets normally do not employ high voltage grids or anodes/cathodes to accelerate charged particles in plasma but rather use internal currents and potentials to accelerate the ions, resulting in a lower exhaust velocity due to the lack of high accelerating voltages.

It’s of worthy note to know Plasma engines are better suited for interplanetary missions.

Ion Engines
An ion thruster, ion drive, or ion engine is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. It creates thrust by accelerating ions using electricity.

An ion thruster ionises a neutral gas by extracting some electrons out of atoms, creating a cloud of positive ions.

Current uses of Plasma Engine
Plasma engines have a substantially greater specific impulse (Isp) value than most other forms of rocket technology.

Plasma engines have received active flight time and usage on missions. In 2020, research on a plasma jet was published by Wuhan University.

However, the thrust estimates published in that paper were subsequently revealed to be approximately nine times theoretically achievable levels even if 100 per cent of the incoming microwave power were converted to thrust.

Plasma Engine Types
there are currently different types of plasma engines worldwide, and they all have unique capabilities. Below are some examples

Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters
A magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster (MPDT) is a form of electrically powered spacecraft propulsion which uses the Lorentz force (the force on a charged particle by an electromagnetic field) to generate thrust.

MPD thruster

There are two main types of MPD thrusters
Applied-Field
Applied-field thrusters have magnetic rings surrounding the exhaust chamber to produce the magnetic field

Self-Field
self-field thrusters have a cathode extending through the middle of the chamber.

Note: Various propellants such as xenon, neon, argon, hydrogen, hydrazine, and lithium have been used, with lithium generally being the best performer.

Helicon Plasma Thrusters
In spacecraft propulsion, a helicon double-layer thruster (HDLT) is a form of plasma thruster that ejects high velocity ionised gas to produce push to the vessel.

https://askpius.com/2022/02/22/war-invasion-and-threats-how-global-energy-market-might-be-shaped-onwards/

The fear of war threat and energy market Instability and military intervention on foreign land by big powers have always had a rippling effect on the security of the global markets.

As a result of the unilateral move taken today by Russia in recognising the breakaway of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions from Ukraine, the price of oil has skyrocketed to record highs.

A significant energy-producing and exporting nation, Russia has a massive quantity of natural gas reserves underneath it in the far eastern section of the country. Of particular note is that Russia is a key gas exporting market for European countries, particularly German countries.

How Conflicts Shape Energy and Gas Price

Oil is sometimes blamed for igniting civil wars and civil unrest, both as a source of financial support for the contending parties and as a means of rewarding those who have fought bravely.

Research has increasingly examined the relationship between oil and civil wars in a political framework while neglecting to consider oil’s basic function as an energy source.

Russia is the source of 35% of the European Union’s natural gas imports. During the last several decades, nations like the Netherlands and Germany have reduced their domestic fossil fuel output levels.

Due to depleted supplies or environmental restrictions, Europe has increasingly relied on cheap and abundant imports of Russian natural gas, which is essential for power generation and heating.

Natural gas prices almost quadrupled last year due to increased demand after the lifting of pandemic lockdowns, pushing Europe into the most serious energy crisis it has seen since the 1970s.

Sanction Threat

Europeans are concerned that U.S. sanctions, which might make it impossible for Russians to utilise dollars or international payment systems, could make it difficult for consumers to make payments for natural gas purchases, resulting in a backlog of deliveries.

In a worst-case scenario, but less probable one, Russia may respond against sanctions by purposefully reducing gas exports to Europe.

The United States has imposed several oil embargoes on several oil-producing countries, including Iran, Libya, Venezuela, and Yemen. This embargo has continued to drive up the price of crude oil and natural gas, generating overall instability in the energy sector’s price volatility.

Energy and Gas Forcast by U.S Energy and Information Admin

We estimate Brent prices to average $90 per barrel in February, as further drawdowns in global oil stocks, as predicted by our prediction, maintain crude oil prices close to current levels in the coming months.

As a result, we anticipate that negative pricing pressures will begin to manifest themselves in the middle of the year as an increase in oil production from OPEC+ nations, the United States, and other non-OPEC countries outpace slowing growth in global oil demand.

We anticipate that the Brent price will average $68/b for the whole year 2023. On the other hand, low inventory levels provide a potentially more volatile environment for crude oil prices and the possibility of major price increases if supply growth does not keep pace with demand growth.

Global Supply Chain Disruptions

Over the last several months, supply chain interruptions are likely to have increased inflationary pricing impacts across all industries, as seen by the data.

Intel Plans on Chips Making And Chips Built For PC in 2025
A year into his tenure, the new Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger, says his effort to reclaim chip technology leadership is on track and Intel Plans on Chips Making.

Intel Plans on Chips Making Unveiled On Investors Day 2022

To convince investors that its years of chip manufacturing troubles are behind it.

On February 17, 2022, Intel showed off a silicon wafer filled with chips made with a new manufacturing method that is expected to be available in 2025.

Pat Gelsinger, the company’s CEO, indicated that the company’s goal to modernise production procedures is on or ahead of schedule.

Intel Plans Chips Making

Intel is ramping up manufacturing efforts considerably to regain the chip performance leading it to lose to Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Production Co. (TSMC) by 2025.

If this effort is successful, PC chip performance might finally increase after a half-decade of stagnation. Also, Intel may be more important in your digital life due to creating processors for your car, phone, and gaming PC graphics card.

The core of the initiative is moving across five new manufacturing processes in four years:

Intel 7 in 2021
Also Intel 4 in 2022
Intel 3 in 2023
Intel 20A & Intel 18A in early and in late 2024
The shortfall between manufacturing availability and product delivery means that 18A chips won’t show until 2025.

Gelsinger referred to the wafer display as a “proof point” that Intel is on pace.

Who is Intel New CEO?

Gelsinger, a semiconductor engineer who returned to Intel a year ago, adds engineering credentials to the CEO role, but it will be difficult for the corporation to recover.

When a chipmaker slips behind the leading edge, as International Business Machines Corporation and GlobalFoundries have in recent years, it becomes more difficult to justify the massive investments required to progress to the new technology.

Current Setbacks Intel is Battling

Apple’s choice to replace Intel Core processors in its Macs with its own M series chips manufactured by TSMC exemplifies Intel’s dilemma.

Simultaneously, AMD has increased its market share, Nvidia has benefited from gaming and AI, and meanwhile Amazon has released its server chips.

During Intel’s investor day, Gelsinger spoke when he and other executives attempted to persuade typically sceptical analysts that the company’s massive investment in new chipmaking machinery would pay off.

This will be accomplished through the sale of premium products and the arrival of external clients to use the company’s increased foundry manufacturing capability.

Intel 20A Chips Features

Intel 20A includes two big modifications to chip architecture; this design is an important component of Intel’s future goals.

RibbonFET
PowerVia
RibbonFET

A transistor technology called “gate all around” is used in RibbonFET, Intel’s version of this technology.

The gate that controls whether a transistor turns on or off is wrapped around ribbon-like channels that carry the electricity.

PowerVia

PowerVia is a technology that distributes electrical power to the underside of a transistor, allowing the top surface for additional data connection circuitry.

Intel Plans Chips Making

Packaging And Enhance PC Processor

Branding will play a big role in future PC processors, like Arrow Lake, in 2024, including the first chiplets made with Intel 20A. This will be the first time these chipsets will be used on a PC that will use Intel 18A chiplets.

Intel says that the new graphics chip architecture used in Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake will be a “huge step forward.”

This is important because today’s graphics chips do more; for example, they can do AI and process video images.

Grouping of Intel Chips into Lake

Intel groups and codename all chips into lakes and families to avoid being exposed to a lawsuit.

Intel Lunar Lake

TSMC 3nm will be used in this item, according to Nikkei. There is expected to be a big performance boost to match or beat AMD and Apple in terms of performance and power efficiency.

lunar chip
Intel Lunar Chip
Meteor Lake

Codenamed Meteor Lake comprises three parts: a compute die with an unknown number of high-performance cores, a GPU die with 96–192 EUs, and an SoC die with things like a memory controller or a PCIe controller.

chip
Intel Meteor Chip
Alder Lake

The Alder Lake chips are made of Intel 7 process, previously known as “10nm Enhanced SuperFin.”

Intel recently changed the names of its process nodes in its process and packaging roadmap update.



Arrow Lake

Two new core architectures will be used in the mint family: Lion Cove (performance cores) and Skymont (power cores) (efficiency cores).

Also, the new Xe GPU architecture will be used in the latest Arrow Lake chips.

It looks like Intel will be making its Alder Lake-P CPU and GPU tiles on the TSMC 3nm process node instead of its own “Intel 3” node.

Arrow chip
Arrow Chip
Nova Lake

This will be the biggest change in CPU architecture since the Core architecture was first used in 2006.

Intel is trying to build a new computer architecture from the ground up like Ryzen, with up to 50% more CPU speed from the lunar lake. This is similar to how Ryzen works.

Because someone was arested earlier for printing ballot papers, APC asked wike to purnish him if the guy is truely employed by apc, where is the guy now? He was not punished because pdp tried to frame up APC. A police officer was caught wike roar and did nothing because he did it just to frame APC

these issue you just referred to was actually transfer from rivers police command to Zone 6 command which is headquartered in calabar, so there's nothing wike can do about the issue and whenever you come online to write always check your facts, so you won't end up been stupid to people reading your post
