Article Abstract:

The ongoing need to repair bridges, pipelines and sewers has prompted many researchers to seek new generations of materials that will provide long-lasting and safe infrastructure. In the US, glass fibre reinforced polymers and carbon fibre reinforced polymers are being promoted to reinforce or replace some steel and concrete bridges in Idaho. The state's first bridge reinforcement project, called Tech 21, was dedicated in July 1997 and should require little routine maintenance for 150 years. The use of composites in construction is being studied in over 300 centres around the world.

The holocaust was no secret: Churchill knew. We all knew, and couldn't do anything about it - except win the war

Article Abstract:

In 1941, the British broke top secret Nazi codes enabling them to know of the carefully guarded secret, the planned killings of the Jews of Europe by their fellow Europeans. Winston Churchill acknowledged the Jewish sufferings in a Nov 14, 1941 message to the UK's leading Jewish newspaper.
