Next-Gen Russian Subs to Have Stealthier Composite Materials

War is Boring ^
| March 18, 2016 | Dave Majumdar
Next-generation Russian nuclear submarines may use composite structures — imagine something akin to a cutting-edge carbon fiber — in an attempt to drastically reduce their acoustical signatures. But
this wouldn’t be the first time Moscow has experimented with novel materials to build submarines. Before its collapse, the Soviet Union pioneered the use of titanium hulls to increase the hydrodynamic performance of its boats.

A young man from Zimbabwe has been convicted in London of making and possessing two guns with a 3D printer. The
gun parts were discovered during a raid searching for marijuana. From independent.co.uk: A second raid of his home in February 2018 led to the discovery of further components of another 3D printed gun.Acting Detective Sergeant Jonathan Roberts, who led the investigation, said: “We know that Muswere was planning to line the printed firearms with steel tubes in order to make a barrel capable of firing.“This conviction, which I believe is the first of its kind relating to the...

Researchers reconstruct earliest known composite-tiled roofs

| July 24, 2023 | Peking University
Existing archaeological discoveries indicate that the earliest ceramic tiles in the world appeared in Greece circa late 3,000 BC, but only in simple forms. Accelerator
Mass Spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dating results show that the absolute age of tiles unearthed from the relic site of Qiaocun date back to 2400–2200 BC, proving these as the earliest composite tiles.In the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046–771 BC), terracotta tile manufacturing was significantly developed in central Shaanxi Province, forming the Longshan Western Zhou culture, which further spread to the rest of Asia including South Korea, Japan, the Russian Far East and Southeast Asia.To avoid the...

BBC, Thailand: Brown Receiver; Composite or Trick of Light on M-16?

| 26 May, 2015 | Dean Weingarten
My nephew, Nick, had a BBC newscast on about human smugglers in Thailand. It appears that the BBC is a bit less shy about showing weapons than many U.S. outlets, but that could simply be perception on this one show. I
watch very little TV. From BBC.com: Manit told us his district had long been used by human traffickers to transfer migrants from boats to trucks. He wanted to stamp it out. But he was getting little help from the central government, or from local law enforcement. The BBC correspondent was allowed to join a patrol off the coast. ...

Nanofiber-hydrogel composite allows soft tissue to regenerate
|

Medical Xpress ^
| May 2, 2019 | Bob Yirka
A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine has developed a gel that, when injected into test animals, allowed new soft tissue to grow—replacing lost tissue. When
a person loses a chunk of soft tissue due to an accident, infection or surgical procedure, surgeons have very few options available to induce the body to regenerate the missing tissue, leaving patients with disfiguring reminders of their loss. To make the gel, the team created nanofibers using a polymer that was known to biodegrade easily. It has been used for several years in real medical applications. Next, the nanofibers were...

New day, new low! China’s Shanghai Composite Index drops below 2,900, down 15% from April, highlighting a 28% performance gap. Confidence struggles amid economic sluggishness.
|

Citizen Watch Report ^
The recent decline in China’s Shanghai Composite Index, plummeting below 2,900 and marking a 15% drop from its April peak, raises concerns about the nation’s structural challenges. This
significant 28% performance gap when compared to the MSCI World Index (USD) since April underscores a deeper issue at play. While psychological explanations for economic conditions are frequently invoked, the assertion that structural explanations carry more weight appears justified. The current consensus in China – weak consumption linked to low confidence, and vice versa – highlights a potentially troublesome feedback loop that a surge in confidence alone may not fully remedy. Analysts...

Is this the perfect woman? As plastic surgeons reveal their most requested star looks, we added a dash of science to create the ultimate composite

As every woman knows, there’s no such thing as the perfect body. But
that has not stopped scientists from quantifying every inch of the female form. From eyelash length to ankle circumference, experts have devised countless mathematical formulae to determine the scientific ideal of beauty. While some date back to ancient times and have been employed by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, others have been dreamt up by modern-day beauty professionals. This week, a survey by cosmetic surgery provider, Transform Hospital Group, revealed that many of the most requested facial traits seen in celebrities conform to these statistics.

China’s economy at a critical juncture: Q3 growth at 4.9%, Real Estate Market down 81% (2021-2022) and 64% (2023), Shanghai Composite tests 20-year ‘Fate Line.’

Citizen Watch Report ^
China’s economy is teetering at a “critical stage,” expanding a modest 4.9% in Q3, below the five percent target. The
aftermath of draconian Covid measures persists despite their removal in 2022. Surprisingly, an economic model reliant on debt-fueled construction faces challenges. Ghost cities, idle airports, and vacant skyscrapers showcase the limitations of this approach. China’s Real Estate Market endured significant setbacks, with an 81% drawdown in 2021-2022 and an additional 64% in 2023.

2012 72% of the voters were whites and majority of whites historically prefer Republicans and prefer Trump by a large margin. 2.However, the poll had only 68% of whites which skewed the results in Clinton’s favor 3.The poll had 51% of women to 49% men, skewed towards Clinton 4.The poll had 7% more Democrats than Republicans, even though according to Gallop there are only 3% more Democrats 5.In 2012 60%...
