G-ISEE, British Aerospace Avro RJ85, in the manufacturers demonstrator livery, at Liverpool Speke, some time in the early 1990s.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left.
The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and green stripes on the nose.
There are also green stripes aligned in an inverted triangle under the tail, which is largely dark blue, with white "RJ85" text.
The black registration "G-ISEE" is on the lower rear fuselage, with red, seemingly hand-written "The Regional jetliner" text on the lower forward fuselage.
The blue engine pods mounted under the wings have white "LF507" titles on the sides of the outer engines, with smaller "FADEC" text below.
Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grass leading up to a black runway in the background, with more grass and trees leading up to a wide river in the distance, with an industrial landscape vanishing into bright but hazy sky on the far side.

☀️❄️ What if the solar energy from July could heat us in winter?

The new power-to-gas demonstrator installed at the Energypolis campus in Sion will enable engineers to test promising approaches for advancing the energy transition, such as carbon capture and seasonal power storage in the form of gas. The system was developed with the HES-SO Valais-Wallis School of Engineering and several local businesses.

#Crimethinc: A #Demonstrator’s Guide to Understanding #RiotMunitions

And How to Defend against Them
2021-01-04

"#ImpactMunitions

Police fire a wide range of blunt force projectiles from a variety of weapons. Manufacturers and police departments sometimes call these 'Blunt Impact Projectiles' (#BIPs) or 'Kinetic Impact Projectiles' (#KIPs). #RubberBullets are only one of many variants. They vary in size, force, composition, delivery methods, and lethality.

"The sales pitches that manufacturers make to law enforcement agencies emphasize the ability to obtain compliance from subjects via projected force with minimal risk of injury or death. All of the academic studies—not to mention our lived experience—show that neither of these claims is correct: impact munitions regularly #maim and kill #protestors and they rarely succeed at breaking up demonstrations. They’re even less effective at stopping social movements. Often, when one of us loses an eye or suffers a fractured skull, more people come out to the streets.

"Some of the more common impact munitions include baton rounds, large plastic, foam, gel, or even wooden #projectiles that are fired from a multi-launcher or occasionally a shotgun; rubber bullets, #MetalProjectiles coated in rubber or PVC; #BeanBagRounds, woven bags filled with either silica or lead, usually fired from shotguns; #Pepperballs, which are essentially paintballs filled with pepper spray; #FN303 rounds, a combination of pepper-balls and regular impact munitions; rubber balls, which are rubber or plastic or foam pellets packed into grenades to explode like shrapnel or shotgun shot; and, of course, the venerable #GasCanister (bearing chemical agents or smoke), which is not designed to be fired directly at protestors—but regularly is.

"Contrary to popular supposition, most modern impact munitions are designed for 'direct fire' rather than 'skip fire.' Direct fire munitions are for shooting directly at individuals, while skip fire projectiles are designed to be skipped off the ground into the crowd. Tear gas canisters are generally intended for skip firing at close range or firing at a 25-30 degree arc into the air for maximum range; they are not rated for direct fire. Some styles of baton rounds that split into multiple projectiles are designed for skip fire to distribute the projectiles more widely, while others are designed to be fired over the heads of protesters in order to rain chemicals down. Full-size wooden baton rounds and some rubber bullets seem to be designed for skip fire as well, but in general, skip fire is less accurate and less common.

"Baton rounds, stinger grenades, and beanbags hurt. They injure people. Occasionally, they maim or—even more rarely—kill people. Yet of all the tools used by the police, they are some of the least effective at stopping demonstrations. Unlike a cop within mêlée range, a baton round cannot arrest you. Unlike a cloud of gas, it can’t force you to disperse. Ranged impact weapons rely primarily on pain compliance. While this may work on individuals, pain alone usually cannot force a resolute crowd to comply. Standing around getting shot at isn’t always the right move. But the effects of impact munitions can be mitigated by protective equipment including shields, armor, helmets, goggles, barricades, and even umbrellas. Impact weapons rely on fear above all—and through mental preparation and mutual support, we can defend ourselves from fear. We can choose not to comply with fear."

Presidio pro Pal al processo all'attivista arrestato. La fidanzata palestinese: «Preso a caso, è un bravo ragazzo»

Cinquanta persone sono all'esterno della cittadella giudiziaria nel giorno in cui è prevista la direttissima per il manifestante arrestato sabato

Translated:
"Solidarity for Pal in the process against the arrested activist. His Palestinian girlfriend: 'He was arrested randomly, he is a good boy.'"

Fifty people are outside the courthouse on the day of the preliminary hearing for the demonstrator arrested Saturday.

Speaking of fountain pen, here is a decent writer, and a beautiful 698 demonstrator. Body is clear, and end and cap are ivory. Broad nib. One of my favorite for regular use.

@heiseonline Ein #Demonstrator mit 12x14m Solarfläche un 40 kW pro Jahr?
Soll das die #Energiewende werden?
Wir sind im A..sch!

I've had a real great writing experience with the #Kaweco #Perkeo. It's such a good writer and such a fun design.

I decided to get some more. The blue is the one I already had. The black I call my #licorice pen. and the clear is my first #demonstrator.

Each of them came with four blue cartridges and an empty, gonna use those for my liliput.

#newpenday #fountainpen

Five fountainpens. All the same model, the Kaweco Perkeo. From left to right: "All clear", "Jungle green", "All black", "Peony blossom" and "Breezy teal". Or by common colour names: clear, green, black, pink and blue.

A bunch of short ink cartridges lined up. There are 16 of them and they're all filled with kaweco blue ink

Ich finde die Meldung irgendwie humorig: 🤪

Der #Demonstrator hat sich übrigens nicht an die #Fahrbahn geklebt, sondern wurde mit #Beton in der Größenordnung von Brückenpfeilern einbetoniert. 😁

Nasa & Darpa announce demonstrator nuclear rocket test in space by 2027.

Why significant? Dual-mode has 2x to 5x higher thrust in thermal rocket mode, or it can create huge specific impulse in electric mode (working like an ion engine).

Enables reasonable travel speeds across the solar system. Plus. Since the reaction mass doesn’t burn, it can pick up water for example at it’s destination and ”refuel”.
