2021 Al-Tanf drone attack. On 20 October 2021, multiple projectiles struck the Al-Tanf U.S. military base in Syrian opposition controlled territory, where members of the CJTF-OIR were training a Free Syrian Army unit known as Maghaweir al-Thowra.  Although no injuries were sustained, the attack was unusually heavy—seemingly a mix of drone and rocket systems, with as many as five munitions used.  Both the FSA areas and CJTF-OIR areas of the base were attacked.  The coalition confirmed that the attack involved “a UAS [i.e., drone] attack coupled with IDF," referring to "Indirect Fire using Rockets."

The attack on this US garrison may have been in response to Israeli activities, according to The New York Times.  Pentagon officials said Iran was behind the attacks.

AvtoVAZ Technical Museum. The AvtoVAZ Technical Museum is a museum in the Russian city of Tolyatti. The formal name is now K.G. Sakharov History of Technology Park Complex (Парковый комплекс истории техники имени К. Г. Сахарова).

The AvtoVAZ plant, one of the largest automobile factories in the world, is a tourist attraction. AvtoVAZ decided to add a museum to the plant, and in 1998 plans were made to develop a museum, which opened in 2001 as the AvtoVAZ Technical Museum.

The  museum (mostly outdoors) hosts about 500 vehicles of many types – cars, locomotives, boats, aircraft, and military vehicles – demonstrating the development of Soviet and Russian motorized transport. The timeline of AvtoVAZ Ladas and Zhigulis from their 1970s introduction to recent times is well covered. Among the exhibits is a  long Tango-class submarine, of which the transport from St Petersburg to Tolyatti was a considerable project. The submarine was installed in 2005 and parts of the interior were opened to the public in 2018.

Military vehicles from World War I are displayed, as well as World War II tanks and other vehicles, and postwar vehicles such as an Mil Mi-24 Hind helicopter and 2S7 Pion self-propelled gun. In 2003, a rover and other space vehicles were added.

In 2010, the name of the museums' primary founder,  (former vice-president of AvtoVAZ's technical development section), was attached to the museum. In 2014, control of the museum was transferred to the City of Tolyatti. At that time plans for modernization and upgrading were declared, and the museum was renamed to K.G. Sakharova History of Technology Park Complex, although it is still often referred to as the AvtoVAZ Technical Museum or, sometimes, the Tolyatti Technical Museum.

Falmouth Cutter 34. The Falmouth Cutter 34 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by American naval architect Lyle Hess as a global blue water cruiser and first built in 1982.

Hess considered it the best boat he designed.

Production
The design was initially built in South Africa by Ed McNeil, but production ended after about six boats had been built. The rights were acquired in 2003 by Bryan Gittins, who had done wood work for McNeil. Gittins established Channel Cutter Yachts to build the boat in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada, where it remains in production. Rather than ship the large and fragile moulds from South Africa to British Columbia, Gittins had McNeil build one last hull and ship that before destroying the moulds. Gittins then built new moulds from that hull.

Design
The Falmouth Cutter 34 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with extensive wooden decks and trim. It has a cutter rig, with an optional gaff rigged mainsail. The hull has a plumb stem, an angled transom, a keel and transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The length overall, including the bowsprit and aft boomkin, is , while the length on deck is . The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel.

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The cabin arrangements and accommodation are all custom-built and vary from boat to boat. Depending on the interior finish, the cabin has  of headroom.

Operational history
In a 2010 review by Alvah Simon in Cruising World described sailing the boat, "we tacked effortlessly through mere zephyrs and, with the help of an extended waterline  due  to  the  near-plumb  stem, held  impressive  speeds  of  five  knots  in very light airs. The FC 34 should dash off very respectable  noon-to-noon  runs  under  normal  passage  conditions."

Ernest Hexamer. Ernst Emil Julius Ferdinand Hexamer (Koblenz, 29 May 1827 - Philadelphia, 3 December 1912) was a German-born American civil engineer. He was known as originator of a system of fire insurance maps, which by the time of his death were used by fire insurance companies in all parts of the world.

Life and work 
Hexamer was born in Koblenz in  1827, were his father was High Court attorney. After his father's death the family moved to Heidelberg, where he attended the technical high school. Subsequently, he studied engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology under Ferdinand Redtenbacher. 

During the Revolutions of 1848 Hexamer and his brothers joined the Student Movement for Freedom. After the collapse of the movement that year he and his brothers fled their homeland, and traveling from Switzerland to the United States. His elder brother Adolph C. Hexamer became a physician in New York, who published the book Die kinder-cholera oder summer complaint in den Vereinigten Staaten in 1858. His youngest brother was F.M. Hexamer wrote several books on agriculture and horticulture.

Hexamer started in America as artistic illustrator and designed grave monuments. Next he was employed by William Perris Civil Engineer and Surveyor, who in those days published a city plan for New York. He had started as surveyor and was promoted to technical head of projects soon after. 

In 1856 Hexamer moved to Philadelphia, where he started his own civil engineer and surveyor company. Among other innovations, he developed a special type of plans for insurance businesses which were introduced throughout the world. In 1866 he started publishing The Hexamer General Surveys, a series of publications of illustrations of industrial and commercial buildings and properties from the greater Philadelphia area until 1896.

Hexamer was maaried to Mary Klingel (1835-1923) in 1859. one of the sons was Charles John Hexamer, PhD (1862-1921). He was founding president of the National German-American Alliance, where he served until 1917.

XPeng G9. The XPeng G9 is a battery-powered mid-sized luxury SUV manufactured by Chinese electric car company XPeng. The G9 was unveiled in November 2021 during the Guangzhou Auto Show and was officially launched in China in the third quarter of 2022. The G9 is the first XPeng product to be conceived and designed from the outset for both domestic Chinese and international markets.

Technical details 

The XPeng G9 is XPeng's 4th product, following the XPeng G3 compact crossover, XPeng P7 mid-size sedan, and XPeng P5 compact sedan. The G9 complies with 5-star safety design standards under new car assessment programs in China and the European Union, as well as the EU's vehicle certification standards known as European Whole Vehicle Type Approval, making the vehicle the first XPeng model to be designed with foreign markets in mind. The G9 also meets the EU's environmental protection requirements, with a reusability rate of more than 85 percent and a recyclable rate exceeding 95 percent, according to XPeng.

The XPeng G9 is equipped with the centralized electronic and electrical architecture of XPeng and Xpilot 4.0 advanced driver-assistance system in terms of advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS). The G9 is based on XPeng's own SiC dedicated EV platform making it compatible with the next-generation X-Power superchargers by XPeng for charging up to  in 5 minutes via the 800 volt architecture. The G9 is built on two Nvidia Drive Orin systems-on-a-chip capable of 508 trillion operations per second and delivers AI capabilities that Xmart OS could be continuously upgraded with each over-the-air update. It has the hardware capable of L4 autonomous driving. The G9 uses an 8 million pixel front-view camera and 2.9 million pixel cameras to cover the left and right sides of the vehicle as well as the front and rear views, with lidar sensors embedded in the headlights.

The XPeng G9 has been developed using the same platform as the XPeng P7, for this reason, the wheelbase of both cars will be very similar, between . Specifically, the XPeng G9 aims to compete directly against models such as the Tesla Model Y, the Nio ES7 and the Li One from Li Auto (based on the wheelbase, 3,000–3,100 mm will be directly competitive for Nio ES8 3,010 mm and Li One 3,010 mm). It can be seen as the flagship medium- to large- sized luxury SUV. It is similar in price to Tesla Model Y, but slightly larger in size.
