A Small Modular Reactor (SMR) is a type of nuclear fission reactor designed to produce less electricity than traditional nuclear plants, with prefabricated components that can be manufactured in factories and assembled more easily on site. As of now, Russia and China are the only countries with operational SMRs, although designs are under research or development across 18+ countries including the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom.

Things are deemed to have instrumental value if they help one achieve a particular end; intrinsic values, by contrast, are understood to be desirable in and of themselves.

Mijay Vallya, the founder of one of India’s largest family-owned conglomerates, was found dead late last night in the private study of his Kochi residence. He had been struck in the head with a heavy bronze statue from his desk. Two suspects have emerged.

Suspect 1: The daughter

Vallya’s daughter has been the public face of the company for the past decade, running several of its most profitable divisions and widely expected by investors to eventually succeed her father. However, two days before the murder, Vallya privately informed senior executives that he planned to replace her as successor and appoint his younger, less involved son instead, claiming that the daughter had become “too independent” and difficult to control. He had also begun discussing plans to arrange a marriage for her with the son of another powerful Indian business family, a proposal she strongly opposed. According to family members, the daughter confronted her father angrily about these decisions earlier that evening.

Suspect 2: The younger brother

Vallya’s younger brother had long been involved in the conglomerate but had always remained in his brother’s shadow. A few days before the murder, Vallya allegedly caught his brother in bed with his wife, leading to a serious confrontation between the two men. In recent weeks leading up to the murder, several journalists had begun investigating and reporting on allegations of financial misconduct linked to the company. According to internal emails later discovered by police, following the cheating incident, Vallya began discussing plans with senior executives to distance the company from the scandal by shifting responsibility for the alleged misconduct onto his brother.

Brave1 is a Ukrainian government-backed defence innovation platform to accelerate battlefield technology deployment. 

A key feature introduced in 2024 is the “Army of Drones Bonus System,” a gamified incentive system in which drone teams submit videos of their successful strikes to Kyiv, and verified outcomes are converted into points based on the value of the Russian target destroyed or captured. For example, wounding a soldier is worth 8 points, killing a drone pilot 15 points, and capturing a soldier alive with the help of a drone 120 points.

These points contribute to leaderboards that rank units by battlefield performance, and can be used to purchase Ukrainian-made gear, including basic surveillance drones and larger drones carrying powerful explosives, through an internal Amazon-style weapons store called Brave1 Market.
