RCA students develop SaltyCo fabrics using freshwater-free plants. Students from the Royal College of Art have made fabrics from plants grown in seawater, providing a potential solution for the currently freshwater-intensive fashion and textile industries.
While cotton is notoriously water-hungry, requiring as much as 20,000 litres of freshwater to produce just a kilogram of the material, these fabrics are made from a salt-tolerant plant that thrives in seawater. Insulating jacket liners, faux leather and clothing like t-shirts and trousers could all potentially be made with the fabrics. The students – an interdisciplinary team from the Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art – came together to find a way to tackle the global overconsumption of freshwater. This led to them to the idea of using salt-tolerant plants, and following promising early testing, they are now planning to launch a start-up named SaltyCo to bring their textile products to market.
JCPCDR Architecture builds Flying Table with seat belt-like mechanism. Paris-based agency JCPCDR Architecture has invented an oak table that raises and lowers from the ceiling using a mechanism that looks like seat belts to save on space.
Designed by Jean-Christophe Petillault from JCPCDR Architecture, the Flying Table is suspended from four seat belt straps, attached to a docking element fixed onto the ceiling. These straps are wound around a remote-controlled roller shutter motor, enabling the table to gradually lower down to the desired height. The oak table can be left suspended by the straps to suit the height of the user, or lowered to the floor and stood on its four legs, which fold out from underneath. When the table is brought to the floor, the straps can be detached and retracted back to the ceiling until they are needed again. The 'Wild' Effect? Why Hiking Is Surging in Popularity in the U.S.
Le sentiment de liberté est quelque chose qui ne peut être acheté. Le hiking, ou randonné pédestre, procure par contre une forme de liberté qui en motive plus qu'un à s'aventurer dans les différents chantiers battus et montagnes.

Tesla is no stranger to receiving incredible numbers of pre-orders or reservations after unveiling a new vehicle.
The automaker used that model to prove demand and raise money to finance the production capacity. It happened with virtually all new vehicles launched by Tesla, most famously with the Model 3, but orders generally quickly slow down after the buzz of the unveiling, which generally happens a week or two later. With the Cybertruck, Tesla also managed to secure an impressive number of reservations. After the unveiling, Tesla started taking pre-orders for the truck with a $100 deposit per reservation. CEO Elon Musk announced that Tesla received over 250,000 reservations for the Cybertruck within a week of unveiling the vehicle. Tesla said that it plans to launch the two higher-end versions of the Cybertruck in late 2021.

The advice from medical experts is to use your elbow rather than your hands when coughing or sneezing, to prevent spreading Covid-19 germs onto surfaces.
Elbow Sock offers a way of keeping your clothes clean while following this practice, and encouraging others to do the same. Raw Color's design is actually a DIY hack, rather than a product concept. The Eindhoven-based studio suggests you simply take a pair of scissors to any sock. "In this period, we wanted to simulate the DIY mentality, to think about something that everybody can do, with an object everybody owns, without machinery," explained studio co-founder Christoph Brach. "While brainstorming, we found out that the sock has the perfect shape, with its heel, to fit onto an elbow," he told Dezeen. The design is based around the fact that germs can survive on fabric for up to five days after transference. Lianjie Wu designs affordable homes that are deliberately left unfinished.

World’s richest 2,000 people hold more than poorest 4.6 billion combined, says Oxfam report. NAIROBI — The world’s richest 2,153 people controlled more money than the poorest 4.6 billion combined in 2019, while unpaid or underpaid work by women and girls adds three times more to the global economy each year than the technology industry, Oxfam said on Monday.
The Nairobi-headquartered charity said in a report released ahead of the annual World Economic Forum of political and business leaders in Davos, Switzerland, that women around the world work 12.5 billion hours combined each day without pay or recognition. In its “Time to Care” report, Oxfam said it estimated that unpaid care work by women added at least US$10.8 trillion a year in value to the world economy — three times more than the tech industry.
“It is important for us to underscore that the hidden engine of the economy that we see is really the unpaid care work of women. And that needs to change,” Amitabh Behar, CEO of Oxfam India, told Reuters in an interview. “This Buchu Devi is not one person. Porn star Jesse Jane arrested on domestic violence charge.

Sun Dayong designs wearable coronavirus protection shield. Chinese architect Sun Dayong has created a conceptual design for a body shield that would protect a wearer during a coronavirus outbreak by using UV light to sterilise itself.
Avec le coronavirus qui est au goût du jour, cet artiste met sur pied l'idée d'une structure solide servant d'armure afin de ne pas contracter le virus. Bien sur que ce genre de design en mode ne serait pas pratique au niveau utilitaire mais des pièces d'hautes coutures pourrait se decouler de la silhouette formé par l'armure présenté dans l'article. D'un point de vue de masse cela pourrait entraîner une vague de popularité sur les accessoires/cols qui couvre une majeur parti du visage afin de ''prévenir'' la contraction du virus par la voie oral ou nasal. – drewdery
Named Be a Bat Man, the mobile safety device would be for "people who are exposed to the dangerous situation during the coronavirus emergency", said Sun Dayong, who co-founded architecture studio Penda.
The shield would be made from carbon fibre supports shaped like batwings that would be worn like a backpack. A PVC film would stretch between these supports, like the membrane of a bat's wing. Wires embedded in the plastic would heat up to a temperature high enough to kill any pathogens on them, creating a sterile environment inside for the wearer.
