Christopher Wilson: lynching by burning

Article Abstract:

New York stockbroker Christopher Wilson suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns after three white men drenched him with gasoline and set him afire. The incident took place in an abandoned field in Florida while Wilson was on vacation. He was first robbed and kidnapped at gunpoint before he was set afire. The suspects were believed to be members of the Ku Klux Klan. The incident shocked both the black and white community. It was also another confirmation that brutalities aimed against blacks still prevail. The only difference now is that more whites have also gotten involved in the crusade against racial violence.

It's in the bag

Article Abstract:

Vacuum bagging is used to mould advanced composite components traditionally using heat stabilised nylon film as the membrane, which is discarded after use. Re-usable silicone rubber vacuum bags cost more initially, but can offer considerable savings ultimately. Disposable nylon film requires care in handling to avoid pinholes or bridging. Tools need to be surveyed to confirm their suitability for conversion to re-usable systems
