This is not just one of Porsche's existing flat-six engines with an electric motor bolted on; it's an all-new 3.6 L engine designed to comply with new European legislation that no longer lets automakers rich out a fuel mixture under high load to improve engine cooling. Instead, the engine has to maintain the same 14.7:1 stoichiometric air-to-fuel ratio (also known as lambda = 1) across the entire operating range, thus allowing the car's catalytic converters to work most efficiently. //
for the first time in several decades, there's now only a single turbocharger. Normally, a larger-capacity engine and a single big turbo should be a recipe for plenty of lag, versus a smaller displacement and a turbocharger for each cylinder bank, as the former has larger components with more mass that needs to be moved.
That's where one of the two electric motors comes in. This one is found between the compressor and the turbine wheel, and it's only capable of 15 hp (11 kW), but it uses that to spin the turbine up to 120,000 rpm, hitting peak boost in 0.8 seconds. For comparison, the twin turbos you find in the current 3.0 L 911s take three times as long. Since the turbine is electrically controlled and the electric motor can regulate boost pressure, there's no need for a wastegate.
The electrically powered turbocharger is essentially the same as the MGU-H used in Formula 1, as it can drive the turbine and also regenerate energy to the car's traction battery. //

Let's just say that there are some pockets being filled, and they are not yours or mine. Kerry called climate change a gold mine for investors, and he sure has been right.
The steps below aim to illustrate how to setup a site to site VPN between two Mikrotik devices using WireGuard. Pre-existing local networks and firewalls exist on both R1 and R2. Between R1 and R2 the WireGuard tunnel will use 172.17.0.0/30. R2 has 172.17.0.1 assigned to its WireGuard interface, while R1 has 172.17.0.2 assigned to its WireGuard interface. The network used, or the order in which IP addresses are assigned is not important, however it is considered best practice to use a point to point subnet between peers.
Site to Site WireGuard tunnel
Consider setup as illustrated below. Two remote office routers are connected to the internet and office workstations are behind NAT. Each office has its own local subnet, 10.1.202.0/24 for Office1 and 10.1.101.0/24 for Office2. Both remote offices need secure tunnels to local networks behind routers.
According to the BBC's Future Planet, a cruising Boeing 747 burns through 0.9 gallons (4 liters) of fuel each second. This is equivalent to 3,500 gallons (13,250 liters) of fuel every hour. If a 747 is cruising at its standard cruising speed of around 580 mph (933 km/h), it is covering a mile every 6.2 seconds. Covering a mile requires 5.9 gallons of fuel. As a result, a cruising Boeing 747 can achieve just 0.18 miles per gallon.
However, this is not the full picture, as a 747 carries far more people. SeatGuru writes that Qantas Airways' 747-400 aircraft carry 364 passengers across Business, Premium Economy, and Economy classes. If we extrapolate this number of seats into the mpg that each passenger has, the data shows 65.5 mpg per passenger. According to calculatormpg.co.uk, the baseline for a good car mpg is 50. If a car is carrying two people, then the car is achieving 100 miles per gallon for each person. This suggests that flying on a 747 still uses substantially more fuel than a car carrying multiple people, but less than a car carrying one person.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that provides a secure tunnel across a public network. A private network user can send and receive data to any remote private network using VPN Tunnel as if his/her network device was directly connected to that private network.
MikroTik provides EoIP (Ethernet over IP) tunnel that is used to create a site to site VPN. EoIP tunneling is a MikroTik RouterOS protocol that creates an Ethernet tunnel between two MikroTik Routers on top of an IP connection. EoIP adds an outer header mentioning the entry point of the tunnel (SourceIP) and the exit point of the tunnel (DestinationIP) but the inner packet is kept unmodified.
Seemingly unsolvable, solved.

Preamble and disclaimer:
The following is a set of Rules that are intended as advice useful to avoid the most common errors observed in configuration posted on this forum.
It is my personal take on the matter, and in no way approved, endorsed or recommended, officially or unofficially, by Mikrotik or their partners or by anyone else.
In other words you are perfectly free to ignore them, though they represent (IMHO) a sort of (good) cheat sheet/reminder for people starting to use these devices.
Experts already know all these issues (and many more) and they already have their own ways to avoid them.
Zhang operated a surrogacy agency called Mark Surrogacy from their mansion. The agency purportedly marketed itself as an institution assisting American and international couples struggling to conceive through surrogacy. However, investigations revealed a startling truth: The only couple the agency served was Zhang and Xuan themselves. They are the biological parents of 21 children born through surrogacy. Of these children, fifteen lived with them in the mansion under the care of a few nannies, while friends and family supposedly looked after the other six in different locations. //
It is crucial to highlight that Xuan must be a member of the CCP to serve on the People’s Congress. U.S. immigration law prohibits immigrants with “membership in or affiliation with the Communist or any other totalitarian party” from becoming naturalized citizens. Thus, it is curious how Xuan, a high-ranking CCP member linked to genocide in Xinjiang, was able to obtain U.S. citizenship. //
In addition to concerns about immigration, Xuan and Zhang’s case highlights the ethical, legal, and moral dilemmas surrounding the commercial surrogacy industry, which has turned a deeply human experience into a commodity. As one research paper concludes, “Surrogacy degrades a pregnancy to a service and a baby to a product.” //
Surrogacy is illegal in many countries, including China, but the United States has no federal restrictions. Commercial surrogacy is legal in most states, including California. This legal landscape, along with birthright citizenship, makes the U.S. a popular destination for international surrogacy, attracting foreign couples who seek American women to help fulfill their dreams of parenthood. //
Those who advocate for immoral policies such as unchecked immigration or the commodification of women’s bodies should understand that horrifying stories like this are what happens when we take these policies to their logical end, and that cases like Zhang and Xuan will only become more common.
The Storis, in particular, is a welcome addition. The U.S. Navy lacks icebreaking capacity, leaving this function to the Coast Guard, which currently operates only one heavy icebreaker, the Polar Star, homeported in Seattle but regularly engaged in icebreaking operations in the Antarctic. Prior to the commissioning of the Storis, the Coast Guard had only one medium icebreaker, the Healy, available for Arctic operations.
The Coast Guard, in a 2023 report, estimated it needs eight or nine polar icebreakers to carry out its role in the Arctic, including four or five heavy and an equal number of medium icebreakers. With China and Russia both becoming increasingly active in the Arctic - and with Russia in particular holding half of the Arctic Ocean coastline - the Coast Guard's role in the north will only become more critical.
At the commissioning of the Solis, Alaska's Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) said:
“I think Singapore has more icebreaking capacity than we do,” Sullivan said. “That has left us far behind our adversaries. Russia has more than 50 operational icebreakers, many nuclear-powered, many weaponized. China, which has no Arctic territory, is building a polar fleet and is spending a lot of time off our shores, including this summer.”
The One Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law by President Trump this summer, includes around $9 billion in funding for new icebreaking ships.
For the Dreamliner, the 1B has three different model types, providing between 69,800 and 76,100 pounds of thrust. Those with a fan diameter of 111.1 inches (282 centimeters) have a baseline engine length of 184.7 inches (469 centimeters). These engines have been designed with a high-bypass function, which results in the majority of the air drawn not sucked in for combustion, but instead is ducted outside of the engine core. The GEnx has a bypass ratio of 9.1, which is one of the highest in the industry.
As a comparison, the Trent 1000, developed by Rolls-Royce, requires additional cooling as a result of lower pressure ratios. The GEnx engine, additionally, has a ten-stage high-pressure compressor, which produces a 23:1 pressure ratio. This puts it ahead of the Trent 1000 model, with an eight-stage high-pressure compressor and a 19:1 pressure ratio. While the Trent 1000 has a better bypass ratio of 10:1, the GEnx is lighter, which results in improved fuel efficiency and requires less cooling. //
The GEnx-1B is manufactured across six countries, in 12 different states at 21 manufacturing sites. According to GE Aerospace, more than 1.1 million parts make up the engine. With a high degree of popularity for the engine, it is also one of the fastest-selling high-thrust engines ever built by GE. Batesville, Mississippi, is home to a GE plant that produces the composite fan case, alongside Safran Engines in San Marcos, Texas, which lays up the third generation of the composite fan blades.
The National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting has been around for more than 20 years, but a project supported by a $500,000+ grant has transformed its World War II-vintage building — the former VOA Bethany “relay station” transmitting plant — into a world-class repository of communications history and knowledge.
The 30,000-square-foot, two-story building was deeded over to the township of West Chester, Ohio, following the VOA’s closing of the station in 1994.
