![]() MMAT stock is currently down nearly -80% this year-to-date. Meta Materials announced in late June that it has retained the law firm of Christian Smith & Jewell, LLP to help investigate allegations of naked short selling of Meta Materials’ stock, MMAT. Is MMAT’s Naked Short Selling Investigation the Root Cause of SEC ‘Wells Notices’? Market News Daily – SEC is Now Investigating Meta Materials Former and Current CEOs. If the SEC were to authorize an action against the Company and/or any of the individuals, it could seek an injunction against future violations of provisions of the federal securities laws, the imposition of civil monetary penalties, and other equitable relief within the SEC’s authority.Īccording to the filing, the company’s Board of Directors is reviewing the Wells Notices but has not yet determined its next course of action regarding the Wells Notices. It allows the recipients the opportunity to address the issues raised by the enforcement staff before a decision is made by the SEC on whether to authorize any enforcement action. It’s important to address that a Wells Notice is neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination that the recipient has violated any law. Specifically, the Wells Notice received by the Company states that the proposed action would allege violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, which involves the processing of securities transfers, safekeeping of investor and issuer funds and securities and maintaining records of investor ownership. The Wells Notices each state that the SEC staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file a civil enforcement action against the recipients alleging violations of certain provisions of the U.S. On July 20, 2023, the SEC provided Brda and Palikaras with “ Wells Notices” relating to a previously disclosed SEC investigation into, among other things, the merger involving Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. The Securites and Exchange Commission (SEC) is now investigating Meta Materials (NASDAQ: MMAT) former CEO John Brda (Torchlight) and current CEO George Palikaras according to a new filing.

And climate hawks should fawn over a zero-carbon energy option that complements burgeoning supplies of wind and solar power. ![]() Venture capitalists can get behind the potential to scale to a global market. Nuclear plants need no longer be bet-the-company big, even for giant utilities. But producing units in a factory would give the company a chance to improve its processes and to lower costs. The per-megawatt construction costs might be higher, at least at first. If existing plants are the energy equivalent of a 2-liter soda bottle, with giant, 1,000-megawatt-plus reactors, Oklo’s strategy is to make reactors by the can. None of them are quite ready to scale to market-level production, but given the investments being made into the technology right now, along with an increasing realization that we won’t be able to shift away from fossil fuels without nuclear power, it’s a good bet that at least one of them becomes a game changer. Oklo is one of a growing handful of companies working to solve those problems by putting reactors inside safer, easier-to-build and smaller packages. Or even if they can get it in time to reach urgent climate goals, given how long it takes to build. But no one is really sure they want it, given its history of accidents. Then building more and incrementally larger reactors until their zero-carbon energy source might meaningfully contribute to the global effort to reduce fossil-fuel emissions.Īt global climate summits, in the corridors of Congress and at statehouses around the U.S., nuclear power has become the contentious keystone of carbon reduction plans. In Oklo’s case, that means starting with a “microreactor” designed for remote communities, like Alaskan villages, currently dependent on diesel fuel trucked, barged or even flown in, at an exorbitant expense. After that, they want to do for neighborhood nukes what Tesla has done for electric cars: use a niche and expensive first version as a stepping stone toward cheaper, bigger, higher-volume products. But DeWitte plans to flip the switch on his first reactor around 2023, a mere decade after co-founding his company, Oklo. ![]() Fuel is hard to come by-they don’t sell uranium at the Gas-N-Sip. Regulations are understandably exhaustive. Building a working reactor-even a very small one-requires precise and painstaking efforts of both engineering and paper pushing.

While you will find that many stainless steel jewelry pieces are made for men, that is not always the case! Women can find stainless steel jewelry as well. It is definitely a great option for anyone looking for a low maintenance metal. If you care for your stainless steel jewelry (be sure to keep reading for our tips on cleaning your stainless steel jewelry) you will find that it is likely easier to clean for than other jewelry you own. While it is an excellent option and a fairly low maintenance metal, it is still a metal, and with that comes the chance for things like tarnishing and corrosion. Like pretty much any jewelry, if you do not care for your jewelry pieces, their appearance will change over time and they won’t continue to look brand new. However, do keep in mind that we didn’t say it can’t or won’t tarnish. Stainless steel gives the shiny appearance that most people want from jewelry but tends to be more durable so that you don’t have to worry as much about keeping up with cleaning and polishing it. While stainless steel can tarnish, it is much more resistant to tarnishing and overall is a great option for jewelry pieces that you plan to wear all the time. So, while stainless steel may look similar to sterling silver, does it behave the same way? If you are someone that doesn’t want to have to worry about maintenance when it comes to your jewelry, this is certainly something to consider. The main reason why people choose to stay away from sterling silver jewelry is because of the fear of it tarnishing. Let’s talk about it! We are going to discuss everything stainless steel today, including if it tarnishes, when it is a good option for jewelry, and as a bonus, how you can easily clean your stainless steel. Does stainless steel tarnish over time? Does it need to be polished? How do you clean stainless steel? And more importantly, is it actually a good metal to consider when buying jewelry? ![]() Whether you know about stainless steel jewelry or not, at this point you are probably wondering if it is similar to sterling silver. Stainless steel is what you want when you get a new refrigerator or an oven, not a piece of jewelry – right? Not necessarily! Stainless steel is a fairly common type of metal used in jewelry. When you think about jewelry, stainless steel may not be the first type of metal that comes to mind. ![]() The problem is that you have a very limited time before your dream is forgotten. Imagine if you wanted to write about your dream everyday and then research what it means and then try and paint it. Since they are just jotting down 'notes' of things to remember in the FUTURE, and aren't necessarily what are you are currently working on they are short and kind of cryptic. ![]() This same thing happens even more so with ''self-notes' and is gets even more complicated and confusing because they need to be written down at any moment - not just during a class. If someone else who wasn't in that class or didn't know about what was being taught they would see their notes and not be able to understand what they really meant. Its similar to how students can take notes during a lecture and then go back and remember what was being said without actually dictating everything that was said. If there is anything I have learned from my own experiences in writing and re-search is WRITE IT DOWN - you think you'll remember it but like waking up and trying to remember a dream - it starts to fade almost immediately and sometimes no matter how hard you try you won't be able to remember what had to have been the most important thought you have ever had! After learning this very valuable lesson it leads to using a kind of personal short handed note taking. Why are they so random and seemingly cryptic? Or maybe he is going back over some previous writings and then gets inspired about something totally different than what he is reading and doesn't have any new paper handy so he just starts writing on that page instead. Or maybe he is away from his studio and gets an idea and has to find something else to write on. Then in the next session he does the same - but uses a different notebook. So how could he have, or anyone else, organize a single page that has multiple subjects included? Should that page be placed within "Flight" or "Sketches" or "Anatomy" or "Painting"? This is what makes it so difficult to organize Leonardo's works. Within a single 'session' he could have multiple pages filled with not just writings and observations and thought but also with sketches. Then he would get inspired by the birds iridescent feathers that changed colors in different angles and make him wonder how that was possible and how he could include it in a painting.Then about the possible dangers associated with flight.Then he would get an idea about how to build it.Then he would sketch out an idea for a wooden wing.He would study the flights of birds and the anatomy of bats.Lets say he was trying to design one of his flying machines.It can be very difficult to decide on how to arrange papers that were written in more of a stream of consciousness with multiple subjects and themes being explored in not just a single notebook but within single pages and even paragraphs. Some were arranged and put into a specific order - by Leo himself. You have to imagine that at the end of his life he had created a collection of random and chaotic pages. They weren't like journals where he started one day, then picked it back up for the next entry, and started again in another identical notebook once the previous one was filled. They weren't a bunch of bounded books with each page being numbered and well- thought out - then placed on a shelf in order by theme or date. ![]() That doesn't mean that each and every page was in a particular order like an Encyclopedia or even chronological. At that time they would have been in some kind of order and arrangement that Leonardo himself organized. It's easiest to imagine that all of da Vinci's pages of words and sketches were in one room or box about 500 years ago. There is a complicated and story behind how each collection came to be in their present form and locations. Whatever the case may be we only have access to a small percentage of his original works. There could be some unknowingly sitting in a box in someone's basement or maybe there are even some in the possession of people who don't want to share them. Some were destroyed, some were cut and pasted, and it's also very likely that some are still un-discovered or un-disclosed. Leonardo would have attempted to arrange his works in some kind of order, possibly a significant order, but subsequent changing of hands and others attempts at re-ordering them has left them altered and dispersed around the world. However they were bounded, arranged, etc. After Leo died he left most of his writings and notes to his assistant Melzi. Leonardo's notebooks are more accurately called: "Manuscripts" (A collection of pages) and their arrangement and order are almost nothing like they would have been originally. Just click on "notebooks" or use the link above for a directory. *There are links at the bottom of each page for the various subjects covered in Leonardo's Notebooks. ![]()
