1. Rare foal born on estate for first time in 100 years

“The Food Museum at Abbot's Hall in Stowmarket, Suffolk, is home to a small number of Suffolk Punch horses - a breed considered critically endangered by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. A female foal was born on Saturday and has been named Abbots Juno to honour the last horse born at the museum in 1924. [...] Juno is just one of 12 fillies born so far this year in the country and she could potentially help produce more of the breed in the future.”

2. The cement that could turn your house into a giant battery

“[Scientists] at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found a way of creating an energy storage device known as a supercapacitor from three basic, cheap materials – water, cement and a soot-like substance called carbon black. [... Supercapacitators] can charge much more quickly than a lithium ion battery and don't suffer from the same levels of degradation in performance. [... Future applications of this concrete might include] roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road [... and] energy-storing foundations of houses.”

3. New road lights, fewer dead insects—insect-friendly lighting successfully tested

“Tailored and shielded road lights make the light source almost invisible outside the illuminated area and significantly reduces the lethal attraction for flying insects in different environments. [...] The new LED luminaires deliver more focused light, reduce spill light, and are shielded above and to the side to minimize light pollution. [... In contrast,] dimming the conventional lights by a factor of 5 had no significant effect on insect attraction.”

4. When LGBTQ health is at stake, patient navigators are ready to help

“[S]ome health care systems have begun to offer guides, or navigators, to get people the help they need. [... W]hether they're just looking for a new doctor or taking the first step toward getting gender-affirming care, "a lot of our patients really benefit from having someone like me who is there to make sure that they are getting connected with a person who is immediately going to provide a safe environment for them." [... A navigator] also connects people with LGBTQ community organizations, social groups and peer support groups.”

5. Tech company to help tackle invasive plant species

“Himalayan balsam has very sugary nectar which tempts bees and other pollinators away from native plants, thereby preventing them from producing seed. It outcompetes native plant species for resources such as sunlight, space and nutrients. [...] The volunteer scheme is open to all GWT WilderGlos users who have a smartphone and can download the Crowdorsa app, where they can then earn up to 25p per square meter of Balsam removed.”

6. [Fish & Wildlife] Service Provides Over $14 Million to Benefit Local Communities, Clean Waterways and Recreational Boaters

“The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is distributing more than $14 million in Clean Vessel Act grants to improve water quality and increase opportunities for fishing, shellfish harvests and safe swimming in the nation’s waterways. By helping recreational boaters properly dispose of sewage, this year’s grants will improve conditions for local communities, wildlife and recreational boaters in 18 states and Guam.”

7. Bornean clouded leopard family filmed in wild for first time ever

“Camera traps in Tanjung Puting National Park in Indonesian Borneo have captured a Bornean clouded leopard mother and her two cubs wandering through a forest. It's the first time a family of these endangered leopards has been caught on camera in the wild, according [to] staff from the Orangutan Foundation who placed camera traps throughout the forest to learn more about the elusive species.”

8. Toy library helps parents save money 'and the planet'

“Started in 2015 by Annie Berry, South Bristol's toy library aims to reduce waste and allow more children access to more - and sometimes expensive - toys. [...] Ms Berry partnered with the St Philips recycling centre on a pilot project to rescue items back from landfill, bringing more toys into the library. [...] [P]eople use it to support the environment, take out toys that they might not have the space for at home or be able to afford, and allow children to pick non-gender specific toys.”

9. Chicago Receives $3M Grant to Inventory Its Trees and Create Plan to Manage City’s Urban Forest

“The Chicago Park District received a $1.48 million grant [“made available through the federal Inflation Reduction Act”] to complete a 100% inventory of its estimated 250,000 trees, develop an urban forestry management plan and plant 200 trees in disadvantaged areas with the highest need. As with the city, development of the management plan is expected to involve significant community input.”

10. Strong Public Support for Indigenous Co-Stewardship Plan for Bears Ears National Monument

“[The NFW has a] plan to collaboratively steward Bears Ears National Monument to safeguard wildlife, protect cultural resources, and better manage outdoor recreation. The plan was the result of a two-year collaboration among the five Tribes of the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition and upholds Tribal sovereignty, incorporates Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and responsibly manages the monument for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor recreation while ensuring the continued health of the ecosystem.”

[wumblr]

there's this cruel irony of imperialism -- obviously many of them -- and there's a good chance somebody is going to call me either shortsighted, highfalutin, ungrounded, or reaching for saying this, but i've been thinking about the networked effects of extracted resources. first it was spice colonialism, then the spices all turned out to be too aphrodisiac and this eventually led to the industrialization of cornflakes

they used to construct elaborate fictions for conflict minerals, this item is unbelievably valuable and the only appropriate use for it is to commemorate a lifelong, monogamous and reproductive relationship (diamonds). now the conflict mineral (lithium) is an unnecessary substitute for an herb (tobacco) and it has become disposable

the nature and progression of imperialism requires continual growth and this means the conflict minerals can't maintain their value, they turn from precious heirloom jewelry to litter, simply because litter is less rare and so more profitable. first they had to mine the raw metals to build out an electrical grid, and then the materials to build roads and cars, and now that the grid requires baseload batteries parked in your garage we're throwing lithium on the ground. plastics have an irrevocable hold on the market simply because they're petroleum byproducts

cities could never have become as large as they did without the development of firefighting and now the baseload batteries are inextinguishable. progress of ever-smaller fragmentation for profit leads to contradiction. the city cannot move forward without the conflict mineral battery, but it can't put the fire out and it can't stop throwing them away, ostensibly to suppress use of an herb, once medicinal, now an adulterated vice. because adulterating it not only increases the rate of cancer but attributes it to personal choice, which is necessary, because otherwise it would be more attributable to the materials that keep the system running (uranium). it's incredible

the state with the lowest rate of cancer is downwind of the test site, because it's populated by yet another extremist christian wing of imperial progress, so extreme that they don't smoke or drink, because these personal choices have an outsized influence in comparison to the global contamination that the development of the bomb caused. a bit of the money made from the extraction of resources is put towards repayment for citizens of the imperial core, for exposure to the product that created their way of life, but the program expires and nobody cares because they seem to think it didn't affect them

anyway somebody threw a whole clock radio in my garden. i took the battery and now i can't do anything with it unless i want to figure out where to take it to be recycled. holding this blue plastic-wrapped cylinder of fire risk conflict mineral in my little hand and ruminating on it. do you think it traveled further than i have to get to me? i should never have left it sitting next to my keys i've been glancing at it in passing every day for weeks. of course you're not supposed to throw them on the ground, but i've already criticized the abdication of responsibility by corporations for the waste their products become. makes it into another issue of personal choice when they wouldn't have existed if they hadn't been industrialized

F1's DC/AC: Assault & Battery

Formula 1 teams source batteries for their power units, specifically the Energy Store (ES) component, from specialized manufacturers and in-house development, driven by the sport’s stringent performance and safety requirements. The disposal of used batteries follows strict regulations to ensure environmental responsibility, given their hazardous materials. Below is a detailed breakdown:

Sourcing of Batteries for Formula 1 Power Units

Specialized Battery Manufacturers:

Companies like Saft, a leader in high-performance batteries, have historically supplied F1 teams with lithium-ion batteries for the Energy Recovery System (ERS). Saft’s experience, including work on defense projects like the Lockheed Martin F-35, has been adapted for F1’s extreme conditions.

About:Energy, a battery testing and software specialist, collaborates with F1 teams to develop and optimize battery performance through simulation and testing, focusing on power density and degradation.

Other suppliers, such as Marelli, provide components like the Motor Generator Unit (MGU) and associated battery systems, tailoring designs to team specifications.

In-House Development by Power Unit Manufacturers:

Major power unit suppliers—Mercedes, Ferrari, Honda, Audi, and Red Bull Powertrains (with Ford)—often develop batteries in-house or in close partnership with specialists. For example:

Mercedes High Performance Powertrains (HPP) in Brixworth, UK, integrates battery development into its power unit program, leveraging expertise from the turbo-hybrid era.

Ferrari designs its own batteries in Maranello, aligning with its power unit strategy to supply its factory team and customers like Haas and Cadillac.

Honda has advanced lightweight battery designs, achieving significant weight reductions (up to 5kg) for performance gains.

These manufacturers work with advanced lithium-ion chemistries, optimizing for high power density (up to 350kW in 2026 regulations) and energy recovery (up to 9MJ per lap).

Collaborative Innovation:

Teams and suppliers push boundaries in battery chemistry and design, exploring formats like cylindrical, pouch, or prismatic cells to balance energy density, weight (20-25kg regulatory limit), and packaging within the chassis.

Emerging technologies, such as solid-state batteries, are under consideration for future F1 applications, offering potential improvements in lifetime and energy density.

Partnerships with academic institutions, like Imperial College London, aid in refining battery performance for motorsport.

Regulatory Compliance:

Batteries must meet FIA safety standards, including UN38.3 for lithium-ion transport and crash test requirements to prevent dangerous reactions. These regulations influence sourcing decisions, as only certified suppliers can meet such demands.

The FIA’s 2026 regulations, emphasizing a 50/50 power split between internal combustion and electric systems, have spurred investment in battery development, attracting new manufacturers like Audi and Ford.

Disposal of Used Batteries

Regulatory Limits on Battery Usage:

FIA rules limit teams to a set number of Energy Stores per season (currently four, reducing to two in future seasons) to control costs and environmental impact. Exceeding this incurs grid penalties, incentivizing durable designs.

Batteries are designed to withstand intense charge-discharge cycles (10-15 per lap, depending on the circuit), but degradation over a season necessitates replacement.

Recycling and Disposal Processes:

Hazardous Material Handling: Lithium-ion batteries contain chemicals that pose environmental risks if mishandled. F1 teams, operating under EU and international regulations, partner with certified recycling facilities to manage disposal. The EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) mandates recycling to recover materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel.

Specialized Recycling Partners: Companies like Umicore and Redwood Materials (common in automotive sectors) recycle lithium-ion batteries, extracting valuable metals for reuse in new batteries or other applications. While F1-specific partnerships are not publicly detailed, teams likely use similar services given the high-value materials involved.

Closed-Loop Systems: Some manufacturers, like Saft, integrate recycling into their supply chains, repurposing materials from used batteries to reduce waste and costs. This aligns with F1’s push for sustainability, including 100% sustainable fuels by 2026.

Repurposing: Degraded F1 batteries, which no longer meet the sport’s performance demands, may be repurposed for less demanding applications, such as energy storage systems or testing rigs, before final recycling. This practice is common in motorsport and automotive industries.

Environmental Considerations:

The FIA and F1 emphasize sustainability, with initiatives like sustainable fuels and increased hybrid efficiency reducing the sport’s carbon footprint. Battery disposal is part of this, with teams required to adhere to strict environmental protocols.

The high energy density and specialized chemistry of F1 batteries (100-275Wh/kg) make recycling complex but critical to avoid landfill waste and comply with regulations.

Challenges and Innovations:

The 2026 regulations, increasing battery power to 350kW and energy recovery to 9MJ per lap, will intensify battery wear, raising disposal frequency. Teams are exploring chemistries that minimize degradation to extend battery life and reduce waste.

Research into fast-charging and durable batteries aims to lower the environmental impact by reducing the need for oversized batteries, which add weight and disposal burdens.

Critical Notes

Limited Public Data: Exact suppliers and disposal partners for each team are closely guarded due to F1’s competitive nature. Information is often proprietary, with teams like Ferrari and Mercedes only broadly acknowledging in-house or specialist involvement.

Sustainability Push: F1’s commitment to net-zero by 2030 drives innovation in battery recycling and sustainable sourcing, but the sport’s high-performance demands create unique challenges compared to road-car battery systems.

Speculative Future: Solid-state batteries or alternative chemistries could reduce disposal issues by offering longer lifespans, but these are not yet standard in F1.

In summary, F1 teams source batteries from elite suppliers like Saft and through in-house programs at manufacturers like Mercedes and Ferrari, focusing on cutting-edge lithium-ion technology. Used batteries are recycled through specialized facilities to recover materials, aligning with environmental regulations and F1’s sustainability goals. The lack of specific team-by-team disposal data reflects the sport’s secrecy, but industry-standard practices provide a reliable framework.

The Technological Components of Colonialism

Many comrades cannot grasp the technological components of colonialism (or rather they ignore them deliberately), remaining perplexed at a perspective based on the urgency of utterly annihilating techno-domination and the tech industry. If you talk to them about the connection of technologies to power, they respond with the supposed neutrality of these technologies and that they can be decoupled from the very logic of power which developed and produced them.

Such a perspective ignores that the entire framework of fundamental technologies which have today entered into all fields of social life stem from military research, and that colonialism, historically and presently, has a strong technological component. It is in fact a cornerstone. The process of colonization developed over centuries, always adding new technologies as soon as they developed. These technologies are based not only on the exploitation of people in the Global South and their lands, but were and have always been unleashed against the “enemy” or tested in the colonies, until they finally make their way into the empire itself.

With the aid of the British colonies, undersea cables enabled telegraphic communication in service of the British Empire. New developments in record-keeping, archiving, and organization of information were first utilized by the US military intelligence service during the conquest of the Philippines. Governments today work together with tech-giants to enable widespread surveillance and control of their own people. This is first tested in the global south. Microsoft offers a solution for police vehicles with facial-recognition cameras that was launched in Cape Town and Durban, South Africa. The “Command-and-Control Surveillance Platform” named “Microsoft Aware” is utilized in Brazil and Singapore. Microsoft is also heavily engaged in the prison industry. They offer a variety of software solutions for the penal system, covering the whole process. In Africa they have gotten together with a firm named Netopia offering a “Prison Management Software Platform,” including “escape management” and prisoner analysis. Countries in the global south also offer an abundance of cheap laborers for technological processes and tech giants. These includes data annotators for artificial intelligence, call center workers, and content moderators for social media giants like Facebook. They clean disruptive content from social media feeds and are often left psychologically damaged.

Over centuries, imperial powers have tested technologies for the surveillance and control of their own populations on foreign populations; from Sir Francis Galtons pioneering work on fingerprinting, which occurred in India and South Africa, all the way to America’s combination of biometrics and innovations in the management of statistics and data, which constructed the first modern surveillance apparatus to pacify the Philippines. The wide collection of surveillance technologies used in the Philippines offered a testing site for a model that was finally brought back to the United States to set against the dissidents in its own country. High tech surveillance projects by Microsoft and their partners suggest that Africa will continue to be serve as a lab for carceral experiments.

The technological component of colonialism also reveals itself in the ways and means by which people in the Global South are exploited for menial and dangerous work as their lands are destroyed, just to provide supposedly necessary technology. Thus Congo supplies more than 70% of worldwide Cobalt, a vital raw material for the batteries used in cars, computers, and smartphones. As for Lithium, the biggest reserves are found in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Australia. Out of these, Australia is less attractive because the workers there earn dramatically higher wages. The actual process of mining the raw materials often has negative consequences to the health of the workers and their surroundings.

To eradicate colonialism, its causes, main actors, and processes must be clearly and plainly illustrated and linked. There must be no illusions: an anti-colonial struggle must inevitably align itself against the tech industry if decolonization is to live up to its name.

ADEX: MBDA highlights Meteor air-to-air missile with the KF-21

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/17/2023 - 14:00in Armaments, Military

During the Seoul International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition (ADEX) 2023, MBDA is presenting its Meteor missile on KF-21 Boramae fighter planes.

KF-21 fighters equipped with Meteor will dominate air combat, as the Meteor provides a far greater escape exclusion zone and a higher probability of shooting than any other missile. This is due to its unique ramjet engine that powers the Meteor at supersonic high speed throughout the missile flight, allowing the Meteor to chase and maneuver behind hostile fighters like any other missile.

The integration of Meteor into KF-21 Boramae combat aircraft is being conducted quickly and in close partnership between Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and MBDA, with flight and launch tests already underway.

MBDA is a true world leader in missile systems, with more than 60 years of experience in developing cutting-edge missiles in cross-border partnerships that make the company a natural partner to accelerate national development programs, increase platform lethality and exportability.

KAI and MBDA are also working together to integrate MBDA's Mistral ATAM air-to-air missile into the Marine Corps of Korea's KAI MAH helicopter. MBDA has a long history of cooperation with Korea through MBDA's participation in the Taurus deep attack cruise missile that equips Korea's F-15K attack fighters.

MBDA will also display many other powerful missile systems in ADEX. These include the MBDA ASRAAM air combat missile, the Brimstone precision attack missile, the Sea Venom helicopter-launched anti-ship missile, the Sky Warden anti-UAV system, the SPEAR miniature cruise missile and the SPEAR-EW electronic warfare system.

Converting a battery backup to Lithium because I hate myself

I've got a whole bunch of battery backups in my home, one on each computer, and a big one in my server rack in the basement. I've also got a few out "in the wild" at some of my family's places. They're great, where I live in the northeast US, the power grid is stable enough that most outages are only minutes long, and these backups (technically called a UPS - Uninterrupted Power Supply) do a great job keeping computers running through them.

My issue is the batteries. They all run on lead acid batteries, aka the same kind that's in your car, and they dont last long in this kind of environment, I'm lucky if I get 3 years out of one. On top of that, their battery life detection is terrible, It's about a 50/50 shot whether I get a warning about a dead battery pack before the next power outage takes it down without warning. Keeping track of that with just one or two is annoying, let alone 10 of them!

Lithium UPS's exist, and theoretically last many years longer, but they are many times more expensive than a normal backup. I'd like to not spend new-car money replacing a dozen UPS units, so I did some math instead.

I have a husk of a ups (no battery), and I tested it out: the open circuit voltage on the battery cable is 27.6 volts, which just happens to be almost the exact voltage needed to float charge a series of 8 Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePo4) batteries!

Why is that exciting? Usually when you think of lithium batteries, you think of lithium-ion (also can be called lithium-polymer) batteries. These are the batteries in your laptop and phone... And also Tesla cars. They hold more energy than a LiFePo4 battery, but are very sensitive to temperature, over and under-voltage, over-charging, and over-current conditions. Abuse them too hard, and they swell up and pop! That's why Teslas seem to catch fire more often than other cars: most other companies gave up range for a battery chemistry that isn't a ticking time bomb, like LiFePo4.

These LiFePo4 batteries can take a beating compared to Li-ion ones. Most importantly, they can be "float" charged, that is, left on the charger 24/7, without worrying about overcharging it and blowing caustic smoke everywhere. This is critical, because I'm attempting a direct drop-in swap for the old lead battery in this UPS, because float charging a lead battery is basically a requirement, and doing that to a Li-ion battery is asking for a fire!

Using a Li-ion pack would require a custom charging circuit, as the UPS's 27.6V is not correct for any configuration of Li-ion, and would either under charge the pack, losing me 50% of my capacity, or overcharge it, and make it explode. It would also have to stop the batteries from being float charged, again to keep the battery from exploding, while fooling the UPS into thinking a battery is still attached so it doesn't beep at me all the time, and my head is spinning just thinking about how that would work. Much easier to give up capacity for a simpler, and more robust battery.

This UPS can deliver 900 watts of power on battery, that equates to roughly 30 amps of current from the 27.6V battery pack. Adding a safety factor, I bought a BMS (Battery Management System) rated to 50 amps. A BMS is essential, as it offers extra protection against short circuits, over and under-charging and temperature cutoff. Also cell balancing, which keeps all the cells at the same level of charge during use (if they go out of sync-that's bad, is all I'll say for now). The batteries are rated for 120 amps continuous draw, so I am well under the limit where the cells would self-immolate.

With all that said, here's the guts:

Looking close, you might see that I had to cut some plastic out to make it all fit. That's an error on my part-I didn't measure right. If I make more, I'll definately be using a smaller cell, so it will be a proper "drop in" mod. Lots of drilling, cutting, and filing to make this all fit!

It took several hours to link up the cells, terminate the balancing wires (the small red spindly ones), and and stuff them in the battery box. That's a LOT longer than I was hoping it would take, but the on-the fly mods took a lot of time. but eventually, it all fit in, and I was able to test it:

It works! I unplugged it from the wall, and it stayed on! For now, I am in full helicopter parent mode, since I don't want to deal with a lithium fire, even though my math checks out and the UPS should never get the the point that these cells are ever "abused". I only leave it on when I'm in the room, and when I leave, I unplug from the wall, and remove the red lead from the battery, so no charge enters or leaves while I'm not there to watch it.

In theory, the only issue with this retrofit will be a useless runtime meter. The "minutes of runtime" meter is measuring the voltage of the battery as it discharges to estimate how much longer it will last, and the voltage drop over time is different for lithium and lead, so the meter won't be measuring accurately. Once I'm confident it won't explode randomly, I will likely install it permanently somewhere in one of my compters.

Wish me luck!

#i had been really excited about getting a solar system with battery backup for our house#a lot less excited after watching that#my thoughts let me tell you them

If it helps, the newer sodium-ion batteries that they have been coming up with in preliminary testing have shown to be much more stable compared to Lithium, even if they aren't able to store as much energy or store it for as long. It's better for the environment and is safer to recycle. Sodium batteries DO preform much better in the cold compared to lithium if that is a concern for you. Thermal runaway is still possible with sodium-ion batteries, but they can't get anywhere near as hot as lithium batteries and the resulting vapor cloud is not as toxic for both people and the environment. It is still in early development so it will take time to see them on the market in the same way that lithium is at the moment, but it's something to keep an eye out for in the future. Esp for energy storage for solar panels.
