‼️🇷🇺 Rostec tested unique armored panels to protect critical infrastructure
▪️Rostec for the first time tested the latest armor plates developed at the Research Institute of Steel of the Kalashnikov Concern to protect stationary objects from shrapnel and bullets. These panels are designed to protect critical facilities such as oil storage facilities, gas storage facilities and ammunition depots.
▪️Tests have shown that the armor panels can withstand bullets from 9×19 mm 7N21 cartridges and fragments of an F-1 grenade, blown up at a distance of just over half a meter, without a single penetration. The panels provide protection class Br3 from bullets, which practically guarantees resistance against any pistol, and class protection against fragments C-2.
▪️The weight of a square meter of the product is less than 30 kg, which makes them convenient for use on various objects.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...

While these foods should contain the vitamins and minerals listed, our commercial soils are so depleted that they are no longer the powerhouse of nutrition that they once were. In addition, the volume of each of these foods required to equal that of supplements is surprising. For example, around 190–200 pumpkin seeds or 175 whole cashews would provide about 15 mg of zinc (per Grok). Eating these foods will help, but won't provide the overall nutrition ...
