If a red fox tunnels under suburban toolsheds or burrows beneath greens on nearby golf courses, no one can guarantee it a long, healthy life by hiring a trapper to move it to a nearby woodlot or even a rural wetland.That’s what researcher David Drake concluded during his recent talk at the annual meeting of Wisconsin’s Wildlife Society. Drake, a professor at UW-Madison, gave his talk a blunt title in the conference’s three-day seminar schedule: “Urban red fox translocation leads to dispersal and low survival.”As UW-Madison researchers repeatedly confirmed over the past 20 years, red foxes wreck stuff when living…

Editor’s Introductory Note: I’ve had many e-mailed questions about buying, transporting, and storing gasoline and diesel fuel in recent days. I also had a question about the available blends of gasoline. So, I thought it would be apropos to re-post a few fuel-related articles from SurvivalBlog’s deep archives.  This article dates back 16 years, to April, 2010. It was written by an anonymous reader in the fuel refining industry. Background Fuel supplies are essential for many aspects of modern society. Complex supply chains rely on hydrocarbon-fueled trucks, trains, and planes to deliver food and other supplies in near real-time. Natural…

On March 13, 1639 Cambridge New College, Massachusetts was renamed Harvard in honor of clergyman John Harvard. The College was founded as a Christian institution. All students were expected to be proficient in Latin before acceptance into the college. Scripture reading and prayer gatherings were held twice each day, for all students.  Harvard College was founded with the motto: “All for the Glory of Christ.” It was changed to “Truth for Christ and the Church” in 1836. But the words “for Christ and the Church” were dropped from the motto in 1880, leaving the now familiar motto: Truth. (Veritas.) Pictured…

Carbon Fiber: A Quick Material Science Detour Carbon fiber starts life as thin strands of carbon filaments, each about 5 to 10 micrometers in diameter. For reference, that’s roughly a tenth the width of a human hair. These filaments are woven into a fabric and then bonded with an epoxy resin to create a composite material. The result is something remarkable. Carbon fiber composite offers tensile strength in the range of 3,500 to 7,000 megapascals. Steel, by comparison, typically ranges from 400 to 1,200 MPa. Even high-strength steel alloys only reach about 2,000 to 2,600 MPa. So carbon fiber can…
