All combat vehicles, or even tanks, are made of many valuable materials that can easily be recycled at the end of the car’s life. Materials like metal and rubber from vehicles and tanks can be broken down and easily reused for products such as floor tile, shoes, and new cars. For example, NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has announced the results of several hundred Leopard-1 main battle tank recycling. On October 20, the NSPA announced that it successfully completed dismantling and disposal of 483 Leopard-1 main battle tanks with the 105mm cannon, generating a revenue of $3,21 million. – ADVERTISEMENT – […]

An alleged program manager at Google Cloud has said the search engine monolith is “playing god” in the US political scene, skewing results to benefit Democrats, according to an undercover interview captured by Project Veritas.

…from SouthFront.org The Armenian-Azerbaijani war, which started on September 27, continues in the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region despite international diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict. Offensive operations of Azerbaijani forces continue at the same time as the Azerbaijani government claims that it is committed to the ceasefire regime. The first humanitarian ceasefire entered force in Karabakh on October 10 and collapsed on the next day, while the second one started on October 18 with the same result. The Armenian side also insists that it is committed to the ceasefire while simultaneously conducting counter-attacks against the advancing Azerbaijani forces. For the Armenian side, […]

Blockade Games co-founder Marguerite deCourcelle, who sold more than $160,000 worth of NFTs before the NFT craze really kicked off in August 2020, launched a cypherpunk self-portrait NFT in early September and said she intends to explore more “personal tokens” over the next year. “I brought in about $20,000 in a month.

GENEVA (Sputnik) – Swiss voters have rejected a proposal to limit the free movement of people from countries of the European Union, according to the preliminary results of a referendum that was held on Sunday. Roughly 62 percent of voters rejected the proposal, which would have imposed restrictions on labor migration into Switzerland, the preliminary results showed. The Swiss People’s Party tabled the motion, expressing a desire to take away the European Union’s control over the country’s migration laws. At present, Switzerland is obliged to accept workers from EU countries, although a deal was struck with Brussels following a 2014 referendum […]

The news that the first COVID-19 vaccine had been developed and registered in Russia met with mixed reactions globally: while some countries wondered when it would be up for sale, others, including those still testing their own drugs, questioned Sputnik V’s effectiveness and safety, citing a lack of publicly accessible data from clinical trials. The publication of the first batch of trial results of the Russian coronavirus vaccine, also known as Sputnik V, in the renowned medical journal Lancet came as a response intended to put an end to the media campaign seeking to discredit the effectiveness and safety of the […]

Diego Maradona has reacted angrily after Napoli, the club where he spent seven sensational years at the peak of his career, appeared to ignore the 30th anniversary of a memorable cup final in which he led them to a resounding win.

Weeks after pressing President Donald Trump on whether he’d accept the results of the November election, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said on Tuesday that he finds it “troubling” that the president is claiming the only way he’ll lose is if the election is “rigged.” During his wide-ranging and contentious interview with Wallace last month, the president repeatedly declined to say he’d accept the election results if he loses, telling the Fox newsman that he’ll “have to see” while adding that “mail-in voting is going to rig the election.” In the final 2016 presidential debate, which was moderated by Wallace, Trump […]
The UK government has announced that students in England will now be awarded the grade that their teachers had predicted for them based on past performance rather than rely on an algorithm to help generate their marks. The move was criticized as the algorithm used to assess grade predictions made by teachers saw marks lowered for almost 40 percent of students taking their main school-leaving exams. Students were not allowed to sit this year’s exams due to the coronavirus pandemic. The algorithm – devised by the exams regulator in England, Ofqual – will now be ditched, Education Minister Gavin Williamson said. […]

US President Donald Trump has once again taken aim at the notion of having all voters cast mail-in ballots at the 2020 presidential election, suggesting that in this case the outcome may not be known until “even years later.” “Must know Election results on the night of the Election, not days, months, or even years later!” Trump tweeted on Thursday, shortly before arguing that “universal mail-in voting” at the November election will turn it into the “most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history.” Must know Election results on the night of the Election, not days, months, or even years later! — Donald […]

The fresh outbreak that began last week started in gaudy clubs where the rules of common sense had been […]
