The document describes the specifications and history of the Egyptian navy minesweeper El Mina. The ship was a T43 design delivered from the UK in 1956 as part of an arms deal between Egypt and the USSR. El Mina saw action in the Six Day War in 1967 and the War of Attrition from 1969-1970, when Egypt fought to regain the Sinai Peninsula from Israel.
Sneel_002 is a swimming robotic water-snake, constructed to explore lifelike, sinuous motion in an aquatic robot. It is designed to navigate unknown territory and extreme terrain.
Sneel_002 is an open-source, biomimetic, locomotive, aquatic robot. The electromechanical design of Sneel_002 mimics the structure and motion of a real water snake, as a test to explore swimming behavior in an undulating linear robot. The inspiration for Sneel_002 originates from a fascination with reptilian forms of motility and the implications of modelling hardware from biological structures and functions. Sneel_002 uses a custom-written software library to propagate an oscillating wave down a line of servo motors that comprise the robot’s body. The current model is a platform for the development of other low-cost snake drones, with semi-autonomous navigational control for waypoint following, and sensing capabilities for obstacle avoidance. Worldwide applications for Sneel_002 include remote marine data collection of salinity / toxicity levels, nuclear level monitoring, pipeline or underwater exploration, fishery monitoring, and oil-collection.
This vintage 1959 USAF N3B parka is in excellent condition and is a size large, with the only flaw being slight discoloration on the left sleeve. The ruff around the hood is made of either wolf or coyote fur.

The document summarizes the evolving relationship between reading and writing as technologies have changed. It discusses how reading and writing used to be physical but have now become digital and more interactive. While writing was initially worried about the changes, reading convinced writing that the changes allowed them to become more interconnected and dynamic. They realized they still needed each other, even as their forms have transformed.
Susanne: World Recession Susceptibility Analysis
This presentation covers my journey in making Susanne, to be found here: http://susanne.bitballoon.com/.
This is a statistical computation and semantic web project, and I sort of went the extra mile. We find that export and banking economic variables best predict recession susceptibility, which can be gauged with up to 92% accuracy using SVM classifiers.
This is using World Bank data and R tooling. The website is made using D3.js and AngularJS, and does not use a backend.

An MS from a top US university provides better career prospects than an MTech from India, especially for jobs at top tech companies. There are three main reasons to pursue an MS abroad - for work opportunities abroad, high quality research experience, and better access to jobs at companies like Google and Facebook without intensive interviews. An MBA is generally pursued by those with work experience already, while an MS or PhD is better for pursuing a research career path. The costs of higher education abroad must be weighed against the potential salary and career benefits.
-uria is a medical suffix meaning condition of the urine, such as hematuria which refers to blood in the urine. -emia means condition of the blood, for example hyperlipidemia refers to high lipid or cholesterol levels in the blood which increases the risk of atherosclerosis. The document defines the suffixes -uria and -emia as they relate to medical terminology and provides examples of terms that use each suffix along with their meanings.
An amateur cognitive science paper arguing in favour of Cognitive Dissonance (as opposed to Doublethink).
It starts by proposing a model arguing for causality of action or thought. It goes further to propose that the source of all distress is ultimately linked to doublethink driven behaviour. It conducts a study to expose doublethink and dissonance in a small classroom, and finishes by proposing solutions or techniques (value prioritization) to overcome the same.
This document is a list of questions asking "What shapes do you see?" repeated multiple times. It appears to be a worksheet or activity for young students to identify different shapes that may be present in their environment or pictures. The repetitive phrase and formatting suggests it is intended for kindergarteners to practice recognizing basic shapes like circles, squares, triangles through observation.
