The article "FMK-3 Submachine Gun — Argentina's Uzi?" by Peter Suciu, published on The Armory Life, explores the history and technical features of the Argentine FMK-3 submachine gun. Initially developed to replace older submachine guns like the P.A.M 1 and P.A.M 2 during the early 1970s, the FMK-3 saw its first significant use during Argentina’s "Dirty War" and later in the 1982 Falklands War. The article details the weapon’s design, influenced by Israeli and Czechoslovak models, its operational mechanics, and its comparison to other contemporary firearms like the Uzi and the British Sterling submachine gun. Produced from 1975 until 1993 with around 85,000 units, the FMK-3 remains in use today primarily within Argentine and other South American law enforcement and military units. The piece also touches on the limited appearances of the FMK-3 in popular culture and its ongoing legacy in the region.

It’s been a hot minute but I just can’t get over how much this dude brings be as much comfort as Barbie does.

Ken is your ultimate hype man.

Ken is your personal cheerleader.

Ken is the man who’d always root for you, even when you have given up on yourself.

If Ken had it his way, he’d root for you forever because he knows how capable you are of doing great and wonderful things, and he’ll gladly say it with his whole chest too. Yet sometimes all that positivity left you feeling as though you couldn’t live up to the expectations that he had when it came to you in fear of letting him down, allowing him to see that you weren’t this perfect being that he often portrays you as whether or not he was aware of it.

You didn’t blame Ken, he had only wanted to help you but there’d be days where you want to return the gesture tenfold, to show him how amazing and beautiful he is for sticking by you through particularly rough times, even if his advice wasn’t entirely sound, you still understood that he only had the best of intentions. You wanted Ken to know that his actions and words haven’t gone unnoticed by you and that you held them as close to your heart as you did with him. However when the day came…it was Ken who once again came to your rescue as you were suffering from a particularly rough time mentally.

Whilst Ken was doing his usual Ken thing in attempting at making you feel better, you found yourself automatically blurting out; ‘you’re amazing, you know that?’ You told him rhetorically. ‘Because you are. You’re always so kind to me, so sweet, so encouraging, so…god I can’t put into words how special you truly are Ken and I’ve been meaning to thank you for everything but,’ you shrugged pathetically whilst laughing teary at your own misfortune, ‘you’re once again stuck here reassuring me instead…and sometimes I feel as though I’m taking advantage of you and your kindness as I’m over here feeling sorry for myself for being sad.’ You paused briefly before continuing. ‘you weren’t made to keep doing this much to the deferment of your own well being.’

Ken, who was sat beside you, listened intently, frowned for a moment as he was taking in everything you had just said, before he sat himself up in bed to reach to the back of his neck to unclip his most prized possession; the silver horseshoe pendant he always had on as he then wordlessly took your hand and pressed the necklace into your palm. Naturally you were against this and tried to push the pendant back to him, muttering a ‘Ken no,’ but that only made Ken’s frown deepen.

‘Why?’ He asked.

‘I can’t take your totally tubular, wickedly awesome horse pendant.’ You told him, using the very exact words that he used when first getting the horse themed accessory. ‘It belongs to you and you shouldn’t have to give it up for anyone. Not even me.’ You added with a whisper.

‘When you said that I’m not made to keep comforting you whenever your sad, or even the slightest bit distressed, I want you to know that that’s the one thing I’m going to have to disagree with you on,’ Ken said as he took the pendant from you hand to put it on you himself, pulling away with a beaming smile across his face as he looked at how nicely the pendant looked on you, ‘because this is exactly what I was made for.’ He tells you before pressing a kiss to your nose, making you smile by osmosis.

‘That and horses.’ He quickly adds as you laugh at his goofy nature.

______

When she woke up in the morning she felt that she was alone. She looked around, completely naked and covered herself with the furs lying next to her, sighing heavily. She rose to sit up and pressed her lips together, feeling her moisture and her husband's spend slowly flowing out of her onto the bedding. She blushed at the memory of what he had whispered in her ear moments before she fell asleep.

I love you.

He said it.

He said it even though he didn't have to.

Even though she hadn't asked him to.

She felt happy and hopeful. Daeron's arrival with his reinforcements gave her the feeling that perhaps they were not in such a hopeless situation, that perhaps with her father's help this war could be won. With this thought, she stood up, calling her servant to help her take a bath and get dressed.

As the girl finished tying her buff, open sleeves to her gown her father walked into the tent, startling her completely. She pressed her lips together at the memory of what she had learned the day before from her brother and swallowed loudly, asking the servant to leave them alone. The girl bowed and left, an awkward silence ensued between her and her father.

Should she tell him that she knew?

She felt a squeeze in her heart at the thought that his illegitimate child was in Harrenhal.

She couldn't look him in the eye.

Her father grunted, clearly as stressed and concerned as she was.

"Did he tell you?" He asked lowly, uncertainly, his tubular voice trembling slightly. She looked at him in pain, tightening her lips.

"Not him, but Royce. I know my husband threatened you, Father. However, I already know, and you, if you wish, do what you want with your army." She said in a shaking voice, trying to remain calm, looking down at her trembling fingers, which she involuntarily played with.

She wanted to cry.

She felt hurt at the thought that her father was not as perfect as she had thought. She believed that other lords had mistresses, but not him.

That other lords had bastards, but not him.

She was naïve.

"Your husband has decided that we will move on the Eyrie." He said calmly, and she threw him a quick, shocked, horrified look, her heart beating harder in her chest. "And I supported that decision. We are leaving tonight."

She looked at him feeling her lower lip tremble, her eyes filled with tears, her whole body quivering.

Her husband, her father and her brother were going off to war, perhaps never to return from it.

"Why the rush…after all…." She mumbled, but her father interrupted her.

"Daemon is trying to find individuals born of dragon seed who have the potential to tame the dragons. They want to make them dragon riders. To have an advantage in the sky. If we let that happen, their fire will wipe us out. We need to surprise them. I agree with his decision." He said firmly, like a commander rather than a father, and she sobbed loudly, catching her stomach, his words cutting through her like sharp daggers.

She heard him draw in a loud breath, her reaction making him unsure how to act. He approached her, and after a moment she felt his large, familiar, rough hands on her head and then the cold steel of his armour against her cheek, his bearded face placed a kiss on her hair.

"– my sweet child –" He said in a breaking voice, and she wept in his arms, embracing him, feeling that what he had done, what he had hurt her with, no longer mattered.

"– Father –" She mumbled out loud as if crying out to him for help, as if begging him for something, though she didn't know what for herself.

Her father, who had always supported her, who had always been proud of her, who she could always count on, was now standing in front of her and offering her his comfort, his safe arms in which she sheltered herself when, on cold nights, she could not sleep, terrified by the darkness of her great chamber and the ghosts that might lurk beneath her bed.

"– forgive me, Father –" She whispered and heard him draw in a breath, swallowing loudly – she had the feeling that his voice had trapped in his throat as if he was about to cry himself.

His hand tightened on her head as if he wanted to give her reassurance that he would always be there for her, that she would never lose his support.

"It is I who should ask your forgiveness −" He said in a trembling voice she had rarely heard from him, the kind she had heard when he had sat beside her mother's bed and watched her life slowly leave her. "− I sold you − I −"

"– I love him, Father –" She said in a breaking voice, trying to calm her breathing, her heart pounding hard in terror. "– I'm happy to be his wife –"

Her father swallowed loudly and let out a quiet sigh, trying to calm down and pull himself together. He patted her on the back as if he wanted to pour a little reassurance into her so they would both stop crying.

"Good. Very good. I'm happy. You'll see, in just a few months I'll be holding my grandson in my arms and then…" He paused hearing someone walk into the tent.

She saw her husband's surprised face, pale and shaken, his pupil dilated wide, looking at her with fear.

Her father kissed her hair once more and let her go, heading for the entrance, and she looked at him with a misty gaze, as if she didn't quite believe herself what was happening. She looked at her husband's face, tears involuntarily running down her cheeks, her breathing uneven and accelerated.

She swallowed quietly as she saw him approach her slowly, his figure rigid and upright. He looked down at her, his lips tightened as if he was thinking intensely about what he wanted to say to her.

"If I don't come back, you will do whatever Rheanyra wants. You will bend the knee. Do you understand?" He asked coldly and she looked at him with dull eyes and shook her head.

If I don't come back.

Why did he say that?

"Daemon has a weakness for you, moreover you are with child. You will say that I forced you to do this and according to his will you tried to convince me to change my mind. If your father and brother survive, also let them submit to the will of him and my sister. I will not consider this a betrayal against me." He whispered, cupping her face in his hands, and she sobbed quietly at his words, terrified and distraught, unable to calm her breathing.

"− don't leave me −" She whispered, feeling as if he was saying goodbye to her, as if he felt that this time the will of heaven would not protect him. "− you promised me that after Harrenhal you would never leave me again − take me with you − I want to be by your side − I −"

She didn't finish as his lips pressed aggressively and violently to hers, his tongue invading her throat letting out a stifled, desperate moan. She clenched her hands in his hair pressing into his lips, seeking rescue in his closeness. He pulled away from her and pressed his forehead to hers, breathing hard, his gaze dark and troubled.

"I want to spend the next few hours with you and our child."

And so they did. At first they wanted to just make love to each other, but they stopped, too distraught at the prospect of sudden separation, and just snuggled into each other, his swollen manhood pulsing deep inside her.

She tried to remember the feeling, the feel of his arms around her, his scent, his face, his gaze.

She was terrified of losing him, and her body was trembling at that thought.

"Promise me you'll come back to me." She whispered and heard him swallow loudly and twist, all tense, his heart pounding like mad in his chest.

"I promise."

She watched helplessly as the servant put on his armour thinking that this wasn't really happening – she felt as if her heart was about to burst out of her chest, a cold sweat on her back. When he was in full equipage again he walked over to her and knelt down grasping her face in his hands, his soft lips placed a warm kiss on her forehead.

"Remember what I told you."

He stood up and disappeared a moment later and she was left alone, with a pounding heart and tears running down her cheeks.

Never before had she felt so scared, so alone, so abandoned.

She curled up, surrounding herself with furs, and just lay on the bedding. After a while, the noises around her quieted and there was an ominous silence, broken only by the footsteps of the guards passing by her tent and the wounded who had not gone off to battle.

Night fell, and she squeezed her eyes shut and began to pray.

Warrior, give them strength.

Father, guide them, do not let them harm your sons.

Mother, have mercy on them.

Stranger, do not take them away.

She repeated these four sentences over and over again, crying, rising quickly every time she heard any louder sound. She dressed in her nightgown and put a robe over it, poking her head out of the tent, but saw nothing.

She felt like she was losing her mind.

The hours seemed to lengthen like days to her. She lit a candle and tried to read, however she felt her body trembling all the time, glanced nervously at the entrance and wondered what was just happening.

She had never been so scared before in her life.

She felt helpless.

The first loud sounds and screams reached her ears in the morning. She roused herself from her restless half-sleep and ran out of the tent on her bare feet, looking ahead.

Their army was returning.

She covered her mouth and cried out loudly when she saw the silhouette of Vhagar and the other dragon in the distance, feeling relief flow through her body.

He had made it.

He had returned.

She saw the dragons land in the distance, and she ran between the cheering men towards the flying deer banners, searching her eyes for Royce and her father. Her heart beat harder when she spotted him, his face pale and smeared with blood, he looked as if he could barely see out of sight.

He only woke up when he saw her running up to his horse. She put her hand on his knee breathing unevenly, feeling uneasy.

"Where is our father?" She panted, smiling, thinking that perhaps their father was injured and being carried somewhere behind.

Royce stared down at her and answered nothing. She stroked his knee as if to comfort and reassure him, seeing how tense he was.

"Brother?" She asked quietly, her voice trembling slightly, but a hopeful smile was still painted on her face.

Only after a moment did she glance sideways and see a horse pulling a cart, with a body on top of it covered in the cloth of the Baratheon banner.

She felt her heart stop and ran over there on shaking legs despite Royce's shouts for her to stop. Her brother jumped off his horse and ran after her, grabbing her around the waist and preventing her from pulling off the material she wanted to grab.

"Who's there? I want to see him." She mumbled, breathing heavily, feeling like the world around her was spinning.

"Don't look, please. His body burned." Her brother mumbled weakly, and she drew in air with a quiet, mournful whine, clenching her fingers painfully tightly on his hands, trying to pull away from him.

"− let me go, Royce −" She said menacingly, struggling against him, the soldiers around them looking at the scene with sympathy and embarrassment.

"− stop −" He said helplessly, his grip strong as steel, both of them panting heavily. "− please, stop −"

"− LET ME GO TO HIM −" She cried out loudly, reaching out towards the cloth, slipping to her knees. Royce leaned over her, kissing her hair, his cold armour almost scorching her heated flesh.

"− he doesn't look like you remember him anymore − please −" He said pleadingly, and she fell down on the grass.

She clamped her fingers over her mouth, a loud, high-pitched, squeaky, almost inhuman scream came from her lungs, so terrifyingly pathetic that the men around her averted their gazes.

Scream after scream ripped from her throat as if someone were skinning her, as if someone were ripping her heart out alive, with sobs in between taking her breath away.

It felt like she knelt like that for hours, unable to calm down, Royce knelt next to her, his shaky voice not reaching her mind, not understanding what he was saying to her.

Her father was dead.

Her beloved father, her support, her companion.

He was dead.

He would never see her child.

She cried out louder at that thought and tucked her head between her knees wanting to disappear, to melt into the ground, to die.

"Prince Daeron is dead." Royce said indifferently, and she felt her heart stop. She swallowed loudly, wiping her nose and face.

So who was the other dragon rider she had seen?

"King Aegon joined the battle at the last moment." He said, and she froze, staring blankly ahead.

Aemond.

She looked around as if for a moment she didn't know where she was, the men watching her outburst of despair averted their eyes and dispersed. She rose on shaky legs.

"Where are you going? Wait! I…" Royce called out, grabbing her arm, but she pulled away from him.

She moved back through the camp hearing everything as if underwater, the joy of the men around her and their shouts seemed to her unnatural, strange, out of this world.

What was making them so happy?

What were they rejoicing about?

With difficulty she reached their shared tent, and as she walked inside she froze, seeing him before her.

His eye pierced her deeply. He was sitting in a chair facing her, his hands spread out on the armrests, his chin lifted slightly, his gaze cold and blank.

Like when he had arrived in Storm's End.

She wanted to shout that it was his fault, that she hated him, that it was all because of him and his brother.

She wanted to shout out how much she was suffering now.

But she couldn't.

They stared at each other in silence for a long moment. After a while, as if some impulse flowed through her she twitched, and her body moved forward.

One step, a second, a third.

As if she were a small child learning to walk.

She looked down at him, his healthy eye didn't even blink, watching her intensely.

She heard him swallow loudly, surprised, as she climbed onto his lap and snuggled into him, hugging her face to his chest, tucking her legs under her chin, trying to press her body into his. She felt him tremble, felt his heart beating hard against her face.

He had come back to her.

He had promised her and he had returned.

After a moment, she felt his trembling arms rise and embrace her tightly, his familiar, warm hands on her womb and in her hair. She burst out into a silent sob feeling it.

"Your father killed Daemon." He said and she felt her heart stop.

"He hit him with a crossbow when he tried to jump off Caraxes and pierce me with his Dark Sister. That's why Baela…" He said, and his voice stuck in his throat. She felt her heart beat harder, her lips parted in accelerated breath.

Your father killed Daemon.

He hit him with a crossbow when he tried to jump off Caraxes and pierce me with his Dark Sister.

Nothing mattered, nothing her father had done in the past could change the pride and love she felt for him.

Her father saved her husband.

"And Daeron…" It came out of his throat like a painful cry.

She stroked his shoulder feeling the pain in her heart, suddenly remembering cruelly clearly that he too had lost someone that night.

"– I tried to help him –"

"– shhh –" She whispered, lifting herself up. She embraced his terrified, pale face and cuddled his head into her breasts, offering him the shelter of her body, even though she was going through grief herself.

She could have crushed him, destroyed him, told him it was his fault, that he deserved this suffering.

But then he would sink back into his darkness.

She could see that he stood at the edge of the precipice over which he stood when she met him.

She could have pulled him back or pushed him forward to fall.

"− it's my fault − he was only a child − he was afraid, and I −" He mumbled out, her heart pounding like mad.

"− help me −" He muttered helplessly, and she felt her breath caught in her lungs. "− help me −"

She saw him with the eyes of her imagination, saw him in the void, in the blackness, in the emptiness, her husband, her god, her Stranger.

Help me.

She grasped his face in her hands, his healthy eye red, wide open, terrified.

He looked at her as he had never looked at her before.

He was utterly vulnerable, open to any hurt from her, ready to finally fall, to hear who he was.

She kissed him greedily, clasping her hands around his neck and hair, putting all the rage and love she felt for him into his lips. He moaned loudly into her mouth reciprocating her caress, his fingers on her cheeks and in her hair drawing her close.

She shuddered and pulled away from him with a quiet click when she heard a servant stepped into their tent to announce that the King was expecting him.

Her husband refused to go without her. He waited patiently for her servant to help her comb her hair and dress her in her gown.

Brown and gold.

The colours of the Baratheons.

As she walkend into the tent with her husband, Aegon's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

He didn't know where to look, so he looked away.

She stood next to Royce, trying to hide the trembling of her hands. Her husband did not stand beside his brother-king, but beside her. Aegon held out his hand towards him.

"Lords, behold my brother, destroyer of Caraxes, slayer of our…"

Aemond did not let him finish, his voice expressing fatigue and impatience.

"Lord Borros Baratheon fired a crossbow towards my uncle as he leapt from Caraxes and sought to stab me with his Dark Sister. The arrow pierced his neck. He died in the fire of Moondancer." He explained coolly and she swallowed loudly, lowering her gaze.

She tried not to think about it, she couldn't get over it, her mind repressed it.

Her father's burnt body lay somewhere on some cart covered with cloth, surely already rotting in the sun.

A spasm went through her body at the thought, but she only swallowed loudly and clenched her eyes shut, trying to calm herself down.

Aegon grunted at his brother's words and nodded, his gaze shifting to Royce.

"Lord Baratheon. In accordance with your family's tradition, you will now become the ruler of Storm's End. As I understand it, I can count on your devotion and loyalty, just as I could count on the same from your heroic father?" He asked feigning lightheartedness, as if Royce's answer was obvious, but she knew it wasn't and looked at her brother horrified.

Royce pressed his lips together and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, shifting from foot to foot. She put her hand on his shoulder, looking at him pleadingly.

Don't do this to me Royce, she thought.

He'll kill you if you don't bend the knee.

Her brother swallowed loudly, the words leaving his throat with difficulty.

"I am faithful to you, my King." He choked out and she breathed a quiet sigh of relief. "I wish to take my father's body to Storm's End and bury him in our home fortress. Then I will return with my army, and…"

"My Lord, you and your army will go where I command." He was interrupted by Aegon, and she looked at him wrinkling her brows, furious at his tone of voice, at the fact that he had flown in when everything was a foregone conclusion, that he had lost nothing.

The King, however, caught her gaze and swallowed quietly, embarrassed, his voice softening a tad.

"However, I understand the need for a quick burial, and I offer him the royal burial by fire that awaits my brother as well." He said, as if he was doing them a favour, but Royce laughed at his words in disbelief.

A royal burial by fire might have seemed like an act of grace to him, but not to them.

"You want to burn my father?" Her brother hissed, and she tightened her hand on his arm, feeling the fury rising within him. Aegon shrugged his shoulders at his words.

"Lord Lannister and my uncle will remain in the Eyrie together with the rest of the army. Lord Stark has retreated to Winterfell and is trapped, surrounded on all sides. Without Daemon they will be in disarray. The usurper may, in a fit of madness, try to attack King's Landing and that is where our main forces must now be. Inform your sisters to come to the Red Keep and take your father's body or ashes to Storm's End." He said lightly. Ser Criston grunted loudly, a long scar on his face from someone's cut.

"Shouldn't at least one dragon stay here?" He asked uncertainly, and Aegon sighed heavily.

"And guard what? The ruins? Our armies will create a wall that will cut off the North from supplies from the South. If they wish to starve to death for the Usurper, so be it." He snorted impatiently. After a moment, another commander, a vassal of House Hightower spoke up.

"What shall we do with Lord Greyjoy? He does not yet know that Prince Daeron is dead. What about the agreement? Without his fleet, we have no chance at sea." He said uncertainly, and silence sounded around them. Aegon swallowed loudly, looking at him terrified and grunted.

"Well… the Lord of Storm's End cannot be left without an heir." He said lightly, and she felt a cold sweat on her back – she cast a quick glance at her brother. Royce was red with rage, his lips tightened into a thin line.

He had lost his father to this fool, and now he wanted to put his conditions on him.

"No." He hissed, looking at him with hatred. "You will not force me to marry."

She was frightened by his directness and what Aegon might do with his words, so she decided to quickly interject and defuse the situation.

"Lord Greyjoy wanted a Prince as a husband for his granddaughter, not a Lord, my King." She said quickly, but felt discomfort when Aegon laughed at her words.

"Then perhaps I should command my brother, and your husband, to take a second wife like Aegon the Conqueror and close the whole discussion. What do you think, my Lords?" He asked loudly, and she felt a sting of humiliation ripple through her body at his words.

Perhaps I should command your husband to take a second wife.

She felt like crying at the very thought, her brother standing beside her was on the verge of bursting with anger.

"Careful, brother." Her husband hissed suddenly in such a tone that she looked at him shocked, his eye wide open.

For a moment they measured glances.

"− King." His brother corrected him, and she saw his husband's face stretch in a dangerous, dark grin not reaching his eye that she knew so intimately, that she had seen when he looked at Luke.

When he wanted to kill someone.

Aegon grunted, pretending not to see it, and turned to the Lords again.

"So it is settled. Send a letter to Lord Greyjoy informing him of my brother's death, the changes in the agreement recognising that the new Lord Baratheon will marry his granddaughter. Inform him also of the death of Daemon Targaryen and the heir to the throne of that usurping whore."

Auradon Campus Gossip:

Audrey and Chad are very funny, but ADULTS??

I will be taking these teacher names and running, thank you very much. They’re my OCs now and I will not be stopped.

Horace the Librarian

The cool librarian. Probably the one who started Doug’s enduring idea that bow ties look cool and suave. His color scheme is blue and red, just so he stands out from the students a bit.

Auradon Prep definitely has two libraries, the regular working library, and the research library. Horace works in the research library, helping the older students with their junior and senior projects.

Horace is the best librarian to talk to if you’re struggling with college essays. He’s able to tease a personal statement out of even the most shy students, and he’ll make you feel good about yourself as he’s doing it. He genuinely believes that every single person has a story worth telling, so long as you can frame it the right way. After all, he’s just the son of a bookseller from a quiet village, and look at where he is now.

Judy the Guidance Counselor

Judy genuinely loves her job. She’s here for the guidance, but also for the gossip. She loves working with troublemaker students, because they’re the most fun to work with and she gets to actually help them out.

She tries very hard to be hip with the kids. Judy uses all the slang she’s heard from students, and is totally tubular and hip to the jive of the youth trends. She’s on-trend and bussin.

She wears exclusively pantsuits, because again, she’s young and cool and wears pants instead of skirts. She thinks this will keep her cool in the eyes of the students. Her favorite one is a brown courdroy suit with a matching floral scarf, very vintage Auroria-style.

Abigail the Biology Teacher

She specialized in marine biology in college! Her main research is actually on invasive fish populations in the reefs around Atlantica. She would love to get her hands on the reefs within the Isle of the Lost barrier, but she’s not sure how to balance such an important research topic with her teaching career.

She’s very invested in independent learning. Every year she has her freshmen do a research project on a native species that has personal significance to them, and she keeps a tracking sheet of what all her students choose each year.

An astrology gal to her core, Abigail will detail class to talk about her horoscope if you can time it right. The sophomore bio II class takes the most advantage of this. They’ve made a class theme song for Astrology Moments with Abigail.

Margaret the Philosophy Teacher

Margaret started her career as a castle chaplain, and only switched to teaching after her nieces started asking her more and more philosophical questions. Yes, she is the sort of teacher who will engage in a scholarly debate with a five year old. Her high school students are nothing compared to her sister’s toddlers.

Philosophy isn’t exactly a popular elective at Auradon Prep, so Margaret has a lot of time between classes where she engages in personal research. She’s currently writing a book about the afterlife, and she’s written several well-reviewed scholarly papers about the philosophical implications of children’s internal narratives.

She also acts as a dorm monitor for the junior and senior girl’s dorms. She hosts the best late-night study events, and most of her students genuinely like her as a dorm monitor, even though part of her job is patrolling the halls during lights-out and breaking up their illegal room parties.

Alfa Romeo Disco Volante by Touring Superleggera 

The Disco Volante is a two-seater Gran Turismo. It is based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupé with its front-central mounted 4.7 litre V8 engine and a transaxle rear drive with unmodified specifications. Each unit, of which the construction requires 4,000 hours of manual work.The present Disco Volante celebrates the myth of the 1952 style icon. The new design briefing required to blend ingredients as innovation, emotion and aerodynamic properties into a timeless and essential shape.During the development stage, Head of Design Louis de Fabribeckers and his team cooperated with the engineers on an almost daily basis. “We focused on the preservation of the design essence. – says de Fabribeckers – Once the design frozen, we had to understand the manufacturing problems and solve them right away without compromising the design.”In consistency with the car’s design philosophy the interior has a ‘science fiction’ feel to it. Part of this ‘spaceship’ atmosphere was created by elements like the red LED interior light profiles. Also, aeronautics has been the inspiration for parts like the dashboard, instruments and seat adjustment lever.The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione chassis was chosen for its light and rigid structure and its outstanding dynamic properties. Therefore it forms the perfect basis for the coach-built bodywork of the Disco Volante, integrally conserving the rolling chassis and drive train.The Alfa Romeo 8C’s steel space-frame and other structural elements were retained to guarantee torsion stiffness, high performance and the quality standard. The frame members and the central carbon cell remained unchanged. Elements of the underpinning and the body, such as the engine bay and firewall, the windscreen and cowl, the a-pillar and the locks and hinges have been retained too, just as the dashboard and instruments, the pedals and the steering wheel. Parts like doorframes, the roof frame and the c-pillar have been modified to match with the new shape.The layout of a front-central mounted engine, a transaxle transmission and rear-wheel drive offers an optimal weight distribution of 49-51% between the front and rear axles. To ensure excellent handling the front and rear double-wishbone suspension scheme is combined with hub carriers of forged aluminium and additional trailing arms for the rear suspension.The lightweight and compact 4.7 litre V8 engine delivers 450HP and 480Nm peak torque. It is coupled with a six-speed sequential transaxle gearbox with electronic control and paddle-shift gear selection. Together with a limited-slip differential and a state-of-the-art braking system with large diameter, ventilated discs a precise, dynamic and proactive drive is ensured. The Disco Volante can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4,2 seconds and has a top speed of about 290 km/h (181 mph).

All new and modified components of the Disco Volante have been CAD designed. In this process, which covers feasibility, safety, homologation, aerodynamics and structural analysis, the most advanced IT tools and simulation techniques have been used.

Since torsion stiffness and noise reduction are of critical importance, special attention has been paid to the under-body structure and its elements, like the tubular frames supporting the rear wings and bumper, and the roll bar joining the c-pillars. Other complex design issues were the tailgate hinges, the 3d-cambered door window, and the front wheel covers.

The Disco Volante was then submitted to a CFD aerodynamic study to enhance the airflow and ensure optimal downforce in the rear section. After that, FEM calculations were run to assess resistance and rigidity of all parts subject to homologation.

Touring Superleggera is synonymous with the manufacture of lightweight bodywork. The weight advantage of aluminium is one of the assets of Touring Superleggera’s construction methods. Nowadays however, the craft of hand-beating aluminium panels is combined with the use of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). For the Disco Volante, Touring decided to use this combination of aluminium and CFRP. This has been the result of a study conducted to define optimal use of materials for the bodywork in terms of weight, resistance, precision, finish and quality, and ease of repair in case of damage.

The CFRP is used for specific components like the front bumper and grille, the bonnet, the skirts, the boot lid and the integrated rear-window frame. The bonnet and the boot lid are sandwich-built with Nomex filler in-between to obtain a better stiffness/weight ratio and to dampen vibration and noise.

The aluminium panels are hand-beaten using an epoxy mould. Since the inner frames of most parts of the bodywork are made of CFRP, this requires gluing of aluminium on carbon fibre. This technique adds to the rigidity as the glue has structural properties.

The body panels are pre-assembled on a laser measurement platform using a jig. This ensures that the strict tolerance required is respected. After adjustment, the panels are either welded or glued. The body-in-white is then used to preassemble and fit all trim components, brightware and moulding.

Cambrian: An explosion of life | Cambriano: Uma explosão de vida

🇬🇧

During the Cambrian Period, which spanned from approximately 538 to 485 million years ago, Earth underwent a dramatic biological transformation known as the Cambrian Explosion. This epoch was characterized by an extraordinary burst of evolutionary activity, resulting in the rapid diversification of complex multicellular life forms.

Among the notable inhabitants of the Cambrian seas were trilobites, arthropods with hard exoskeletons and distinctive three-lobed bodies. Anomalocarids, another prominent group, were enigmatic arthropods that occupied the role of top predators, boasting large spiny appendages and segmented bodies. Opabinia, with its tubular body and unique proboscis, added an element of peculiarity to the Cambrian fauna. The period also saw the existence of Hallucigenia, a spiky worm-like organism that initially perplexed researchers with its unusual anatomy. Wiwaxia, a small marine creature with a slug-like appearance, contributed to the diverse array of life forms.

This period was marked by innovation and experimentation, and laid the groundwork for various body plans and anatomical structures that would shape the course of evolution. Fossil evidence from this time provides invaluable insights into the early stages of animal life and the processes that led to the rich biodiversity observed on Earth today. It also marked a significant transition in the evolution of life on Earth, particularly with the emergence and diversification of sexual reproduction. Before this period, asexual reproduction was the dominant method. However, during the Cambrian Period, there was a notable shift towards sexual reproduction, involving the fusion of specialized reproductive cells or gametes.

This shift had several advantages, including the introduction of genetic variation. Sexual reproduction led to a mixing of genetic material from two parents, fostering increased diversity among offspring. This diversity, in turn, allowed for a broader range of adaptations to the environment, promoting the evolution of more complex and specialized organisms. The adaptability provided by sexual reproduction was crucial in the dynamic and competitive ecosystems of the Cambrian Period. The variability introduced through this process facilitated a more rapid response to changing environmental conditions.

While the specifics of when and how sexual reproduction evolved during the Cambrian Period remain uncertain due to limited direct evidence in the fossil record, the widespread appearance of complex multicellular organisms during this time suggests a correlation between the emergence of sexual reproduction and the rapid diversification of life. It was a true sex revolution!

Durante o Período Cambriano, que abrangeu aproximadamente de 538 a 485 milhões de anos atrás, a Terra passou por uma dramática transformação biológica conhecida como Explosão Cambriana. Essa época foi caracterizada por uma extraordinária explosão de atividade evolutiva, resultando na rápida diversificação de formas de vida multicelulares complexas.

Entre os habitantes notáveis dos mares cambrianos estavam os trilobitas, artrópodes com exoesqueletos duros e corpos distintos em três lóbulos. Os anomalocarídeos, outro grupo proeminente, eram artrópodes enigmáticos que ocupavam o papel de predadores de topo, ostentando grandes apêndices espinhosos e corpos segmentados. Opabinia, com seu corpo tubular e probóscide única, acrescentava um elemento de peculiaridade à fauna cambriana. O período também testemunhou a existência de Hallucigenia, um organismo espinhoso semelhante a uma minhoca que inicialmente desconcertou os pesquisadores com sua anatomia incomum. Wiwaxia, uma pequena criatura marinha com aparência de lesma, contribuiu para a diversidade de formas de vida.

Foi um período marcado por inovação e experimentação, que lançou as bases para diversos planos corporais e estruturas anatômicas que moldariam o curso da evolução. A evidência fóssil desse período fornece insights valiosos sobre as fases iniciais da vida animal e os processos que levaram à rica biodiversidade observada na Terra hoje. Foi marcado também por uma transição significativa na evolução da vida na Terra, especialmente com o surgimento e diversificação da reprodução sexual. Antes desse período, a reprodução assexuada era o método dominante. No entanto, durante o Período Cambriano, houve uma notável mudança em direção à reprodução sexual, envolvendo a fusão de células reprodutivas especializadas ou gametas.

Essa mudança teve várias vantagens, incluindo a introdução de variação genética. A reprodução sexual resultou na mistura de material genético de dois progenitores, promovendo maior diversidade entre a prole. Essa diversidade, por sua vez, permitiu uma gama mais ampla de adaptações ao ambiente, promovendo a evolução de organismos mais complexos e especializados. A adaptabilidade proporcionada pela reprodução sexual foi crucial nos ecossistemas dinâmicos e competitivos do Período Cambriano. A variabilidade introduzida por meio desse processo facilitou uma resposta mais rápida às mudanças nas condições ambientais.

Embora os detalhes específicos de quando e como a reprodução sexual evoluiu durante o Período Cambriano permaneçam incertos devido à escassez de evidências diretas no registro fóssil, a aparição generalizada de organismos multicelulares complexos durante esse período sugere uma correlação entre o surgimento da reprodução sexual e a rápida diversificação da vida. Foi uma verdadedeira revolução sexual!

Ribbon eel!

Ribbon eels have vastly different colourations based on their age and biological gender! Young individuals are jet black with a yellow dorsal fin, adult males are bright blue with yellow accents (pictured above) and adult females are pure yellow! It's suspected that these eels also change their sex from male to female, which means that an eel could go through all three colourations!

Below is a young individual and a female individual!

Opah!

Opahs, also known as moonfishes, are the only truly warm-blooded fish! Their entire body temperature is consistently 5 degrees Celsius warmer than the waters they live in, which is a feature no other fish has. The opah uses this feature to their advantage by being able to hunt in very deep water for long periods of time without a need to warm themselves up in the surface waters!

Barreleyes!

They have barrel-shaped tubular eyes, which are enclosed inside their head under a layer of transparent soft tissue! They use their peculiar eyes to look for prey that might be floating directly above them; they live deep underwater just at the edge of where light penetration ends, but thanks to their eyes with a large number of rods (a type of photoreceptor) they can see very well into the waters above.

another big ask clump 1

Unfortunately no: they were bred to be docile and manageable, and thus with the extinction of their handlers and masters the tamed livestock had greatly degraded survival instincts and were quickly eaten to extinction by the many native predators.

The tips of the tongues are, though they do retain taste buds at the base of the tongue, as taste is still a valuable sense to maintain to detect harmful substances or acquire important minerals such as salt.

Neotenic coral larvae: some of the basal ones are long and tubular similar to comb jellies while more derived ones developed a bell and trailing tentacles more like actual jellyfish.

It depends on prey populations, really, if such large prey could breed in greater and sustainable numbers then it would fuel the evolution of big predators to capitalize on such a resource. For herbivores the primary constraint would be food, as well as supporting their weight on land and managing overheating as bigger animals retain more heat.

Much like the harmsters but with species-specific color patterns and relatively less-developed braincases, due to their more basal, "primitive" physiology. The riplets are neotenic ripperroos that retained smaller sizes to better relieve competition from their larger kin, which ended up giving the advantage of a brain that retained learning and behavioral flexibility even in adulthood, fueling the rise of intelligence.

It's ok! Glad to see the appreciation and I like that people enjoy my work. :)

AC Greyhound (1 of 84). 

The AC Greyhound was introduced at 1959 London Motor Show. It was the second Coupe based on the Ace Roadster but offered 2 + 2 seating. Like the Aceca’s, the Greyhound’s extremely shapely and attractive body was constructed in hand-formed aluminium over a tubular steel framework, while the longer-wheelbase tubular-steel chassis was more substantially built. One notable departure from the Aceca was the bottom-hinged boot lid, replacing the Aceca’s practical hatchback, although this new arrangement did have the advantage of enabling oversize luggage to be carried with the boot open. The result was a well engineered, lightweight, generously equipped and extremely pretty GT car in the best AC tradition, boasting rear passenger accommodation roomier than many ‘2+2’ rivals. Most of the 84 Greyhounds built left the factory in Thames Ditton with the six cylinder Bristol engine fitted. This propelled the car from standstill to 60mph in just over 11 secs and onto a top speed of 110mph.

[webbingslings]

 Types of Webbing Slings and Their Applications

Webbing slings are indispensable tools in various industries, particularly those requiring secure lifting, material handling, and load control. Their adaptability, flexibility, and lightweight design make them favorable compared to traditional metal chains or wire ropes, especially for lifting delicate or irregularly shaped items. Made from synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, webbing slings offer distinct advantages such as being non-abrasive to loads, reducing the risk of load damage, and being resistant to moisture and various chemicals.

 1. Flat Webbing Slings

Flat webbing slings are the most commonly used type of webbing sling, characterized by their broad, flat surface, which provides a secure grip on loads. These slings are made by weaving synthetic fibers, usually polyester, into a flat strip that is then reinforced for durability.

Benefits The flat design distributes weight across a broader surface area, reducing pressure points that could damage the load or the sling. They are lightweight, easy to handle, and resistant to abrasion, making them ideal for lifting fragile items.

Applications

   - Construction Industry Flat webbing slings are commonly used in construction for lifting equipment, materials, and structural components.

   - Marine Applications Their resistance to moisture and seawater makes them suitable for marine tasks, such as loading and unloading boats or handling cargo on docks.

   - Machinery Installation Their flexibility allows them to be maneuvered easily around machinery and other heavy equipment, which is helpful during installations.

 2. Round Slings

Round slings are tubular and constructed by encasing continuous synthetic fiber strands in a durable outer cover. The strands carry the load, while the cover offers protection from external elements. Typically made from polyester, round slings are highly flexible, allowing them to conform to the shape of the load.

Benefits Round slings are often chosen for their high strength-to-weight ratio and flexibility. They have no seams, which reduces the risk of weak points. They also minimize friction on the load, reducing wear and tear on both the sling and the lifted item.

Applications

   - Heavy Equipment Lifting Round slings are preferred in situations requiring lifting heavy loads, such as engines, steel beams, or large machine parts.

   - Transportation and Logistics Round slings are often used to secure and transport oversized goods due to their flexibility and high weight-bearing capacity.

   - Aviation and Aerospace Round slings handle heavy and irregularly shaped loads in sensitive applications like moving airplane parts or satellite components.

 3. Endless Webbing Slings

 Endless webbing slings, also known as endless round slings, are loops without fixed ends, forming a continuous circle. They are versatile and can be used in multiple configurations, including vertical, choker, or basket hitches, depending on the lifting requirements.

Benefits The continuous loop design allows for even distribution of wear. If one area starts to wear out, the sling can be rotated, extending its lifespan. Endless slings are adaptable, making them suitable for a variety of lifting angles and configurations.

Applications

   - Construction and Rigging Used for lifting irregularly shaped objects that require different angles and adjustments. Endless slings are popular in rigging tasks for this reason.

   - Warehousing and Material Handling Ideal for securing loads of varying shapes and sizes, especially in storage facilities or warehouses.

   - Automotive Industry Often used for handling car engines or other components requiring balanced lifting.

 4. Eye and Eye Webbing Slings

Eye and Eye slings, or double-eye slings, have reinforced loops (eyes) at both ends. The eyes can be used to attach hooks or other connectors, providing a secure attachment for lifting equipment. Eye and Eye slings are generally flat and can be used in various hitches.

Benefits These slings are incredibly versatile due to their configuration options, including vertical, basket, and choker hitches. The reinforced eyes add durability, ensuring a secure connection to hooks or other lifting devices.

Applications

   - Construction Sites Frequently used for hoisting materials like steel rods, beams, and other structural elements, as the eyes provide a secure attachment.

   - Manufacturing Facilities Ideal for transferring heavy machinery or parts from one area to another, thanks to their versatility in lifting configurations.

   - Shipping and Dockyards Used in docks to load and unload containers or oversized cargo due to their robust and secure design.

 5. Nylon Webbing Slings

 Nylon webbing slings are made from synthetic nylon fibers, which are strong, flexible, and resistant to most oils and alkalis. Nylon slings are often chosen for their elasticity, which allows them to absorb shock, making them suitable for dynamic lifting applications.

Benefits Nylon is highly durable and can stretch slightly, absorbing some of the force, which is beneficial in applications where the load may shift or jerk. However, nylon is not ideal for acidic environments as acids can degrade the fibers.

Applications

   - Automotive and Heavy Machinery Used in dynamic lifting scenarios where shock absorption is beneficial, such as moving engines or machinery.

   - General Industrial Applications Suitable for lifting heavy equipment or parts in environments without acidic exposure.

   - Mining Industry Used to lift and transport equipment and machinery, where some shock absorption may be necessary due to rough terrain.

 6. Polyester Webbing Slings

 Polyester slings are highly resistant to UV rays, chemicals, and moisture, making them ideal for outdoor or chemical-exposed environments. Polyester slings are less elastic than nylon, offering more controlled lifts and reducing the risk of load movement.

Benefits Polyester’s low stretch allows for precise control, making these slings suitable for fragile or delicate items. They are also long-lasting, with high resistance to most chemicals (excluding alkalis).

Applications

   - Construction and Outdoor Lifting Ideal for outdoor construction projects due to their UV and moisture resistance.

   - Chemical Plants Resistant to a range of chemicals, making them suitable for environments involving chemical exposure.

   - Furniture and Fragile Goods Handling Polyester’s controlled lift ensures minimal load shifting, making it ideal for delicate goods like furniture.

 7. High-Performance Fiber Slings

 High-performance fiber slings are constructed from advanced synthetic materials like Dyneema® or Kevlar®. These materials are significantly stronger and lighter than standard polyester or nylon, offering greater strength in a compact, lightweight form.

Benefits These slings offer exceptionally high load capacities while being lightweight and easy to handle. They are highly resistant to abrasion and are suitable for challenging environments, including those requiring lifting in extreme temperatures.

Applications

   - Aerospace and Aviation Often used to handle heavy, high-value, or sensitive components due to their strength and lightweight.

   - Oil and Gas Industry Suitable for heavy equipment handling in harsh environmental conditions such as offshore oil rigs.

   - Heavy Industrial Lifting Used in applications where extremely high strength is needed in a low-weight sling.

 Choosing the Right Webbing Sling for the Job

Selecting the right webbing sling depends on the specific needs of the lifting application, including the load type, environmental conditions, and required lifting angles. Flat webbing slings offer broad surface area contact and are suited for less dynamic environments, while round and endless slings provide flexibility and high load capacities for challenging angles. Polyester slings are ideal for chemically exposed or outdoor conditions, whereas high-performance fiber slings meet extreme demands in industries requiring high strength with minimal weight.

Understanding the types of webbing slings and their specific applications is crucial for ensuring safe and effective lifting operations. By choosing the correct sling type, industries can optimize lifting efficiency, protect their loads, and maintain a safer work environment. With innovations in high-performance materials, webbing slings continue to advance, offering increasingly specialized solutions for industries worldwide.
