Advancing LOX/LCH4 Dual-Propellant Cooling for HANBIT-Micro INNOSPACE has successfully completed a series of combustion tests for its upgraded 4 kN-class liquid-methane kick-stage combustor for HANBIT-Micro. 🚀 Building on the 237-second long-duration ground test in May 2024, the combustor has been advanced with a Dual-Propellant Regenerative Cooling scheme. 📈 ⚙️... Unlike conventional single-propellant regenerative cooling, this approach utilizes both fuel and oxidizer as coolants, enabling: 🔹 Reduced feed pressure requirements 🔹 Lighter propellant tanks 🔹 Lower overall kick-stage mass 🔥 By preheating and vaporizing both coolants, the system also achieves: 🔹 Improved mixing efficiency 🔹 Shorter ignition delay 🔹 Enhanced combustion stability and efficiency 💡 Overcoming High Technical Barriers Most notably, the recent test validated stable regenerative cooling under low-pressure, subcritical conditions — a technically demanding regime — and mitigated the risks associated with using liquid oxygen (LOX) as a coolant. The application of a gas–gas swirl injector further demonstrated improved mixing performance. With this milestone, INNOSPACE continues to advance methane propulsion technology and enhance the maturity of the HANBIT-Micro kick-stage system. Please stay tuned for the next phase of development. 🙌 #SpaceInnovation #HANBITMicro #KickStage #MethaneEngine #RocketEngineering #SpaceTechshow more

Last week, we pushed our Hadfield MK IV engine and Darkhorse engine test cell to their limits ahead of our upcoming thrust vector control (TVC) and orbital engine test campaigns. It was thrilling to see this controlled test go sideways — literally! Orbital launch vehicles operate within narrow design margins and constrained safety factors, where excess mass in any subsystem directly impacts payload capacity or mission viability. Destructive and limit testing enable us to validate optimal mass-performance trade-offs across propulsion, pressure systems, and primary structures. Key outcomes from this test include: ✅ Structural margins validated – Darkhorse demonstrated stable operation under full thrust loads at gimbal angles exceeding design specifications ✅ Thermal performance characterized – Extended burn duration at off-nominal mixture ratios provided empirical data on regenerative cooling degradation modes and injector thermal limits ✅ Fault tolerance demonstrated – Engine maintained functionality despite progressive damage, validating robustness for anomalous flight conditions ✅ TVC readiness confirmed – Test results validate system integration for upcoming actuated TVC test series l Design optimization insights – Failure mode analysis generated actionable improvements for cooling architecture, injector design, thrust structures, and engine reusability At NordSpace, we push limits. Canada needs to get to orbit with sovereign light-lift launch by 2028 and medium-lift launch by the early 2030s. The only way this is possible is through extreme levels of testing, manufacturing, and investment. Our mission to build a Canadian end-to-end space missions capability will change the shape of our nation both on Earth and in space. If you would like to join our mission, please apply for a role at NordSpace via the Careers page on our website, and join us at the Canadian Space Launch Conference on May 5th, in Ottawa.

Success! 🚀 🇨🇦 At 3:45 PM EDT on Friday May 16th, 2025, we successfully tested both our new orbital Darkhorse engine test cell and our new third generation 3D printed Hadfield liquid rocket engine for the first time, marking a significant step towards Canada’s first commercial space launch. The test ran for 7 seconds at our propulsion test range, a company-owned secure site in Northeastern Ontario, successfully delivering nominal thrust, active cooling, and impulse results. This major test of the Darkhorse test cell and Hadfield Mk III engine lays the groundwork for NordSpace's Tundra orbital rocket, as the test cell is specifically designed to integrate with our turbo pump assembly in the next phase of propulsion development. Long duration tests are scheduled for the coming days, along with refinements to fuel mixture ratios and higher-pressure scenarios to test the limits of Darkhorse and our new engines. Minor upgrades and fixes to address a harmless leak in the cryogenic liquid oxygen line and design changes to our experimental control rods have already been made. Hot on the heels of our successful integrated test of our Taiga sub-orbital launch vehicle back in January, rapid developments and approvals at our spaceport in Newfoundland and Labrador, announcement of the SHARP (Supersonics and Hypersonics Applications Research Program), hosting the inaugural Canadian Space Launch Conference in Ottawa, and more - NordSpace is strengthening its position every day to ensure sovereign space launch is not just possible, but probable for Canada. Our historic first experimental flight is scheduled for 2025 from our spaceport, Spaceport Canada. NordSpace's CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said “This successful test is not only a testament to NordSpace’s unmatched technical competency, but also to the success of our new project management framework, design philosophy, and engineering mindset used to deliver results for complex projects on time and within budget. Success on the first try with countless potential sources of failure is not common in the development of complex rocket systems, but our team succeeded by prioritizing first principles engineering. This test confirmed that we do have the right stuff, and that we will deliver this incredibly important sovereign launch capability for all Canadians. Like the land, air, and sea, space is no longer some final frontier for Canada. Space is an essential domain we must unlock, and launch a capability we must own. Without it, we are jeopardizing not only our security, sovereignty and economy, but are also relegating Canada to a participatory instead of a leadership role on the world stage. We must not let this happen.”

After years of development, testing and refinement, we are printing one of our last Hadfield-10 rocket engines, a bittersweet moment 🫡 More of our team is transitioning toward getting our much larger orbital-class Hadfield-100 engine ready for the test stand, and getting Canada to orbit for the first time with our Tundra rocket. The pressure-fed Hadfield-10 series has been the backbone of NordSpace's propulsion program since our earliest days. It's the engine that proved we could design, manufacture, test and fly liquid rocket engines from scratch, entirely in-house, at the pace necessary to reach orbit. It powered our first successful hot-fire tests, survived our most demanding qualification campaigns, and gave our team the hard-won knowledge that no textbook or simulation could provide. It also powers our Taiga sub-orbital vehicle, which is taking flight in a few weeks. Every experimental lesson learned in its development from combustion stability, regenerative cooling, additive manufacturing, and test operations lives on in what comes next. That knowledge now flows directly into our turbopump fed Hadfield-100 engine, the most powerful rocket engine in Canadian history. Designed to power our orbital Tundra rocket to deliver 500+ kg to LEO and scaling further to 1,100 kg LEO in the Tundra+ configuration. Architected from day one to grow to the thrust levels required for our reusable Titan medium-lift vehicle targeting 5,000+ kg to LEO while striking the right balance between performance, scalability, heritage, and speed of development to meet the Government of Canada's targets. The Hadfield-10's design will also form the foundation of our SHARP Sabre hypersonic rocket's M2S-HyRock engine. The full shift to the Hadfield-100 is a major milestone for us, and it's not just about more powerful engines. The infrastructure we're developing from moving to a much larger facility, acquiring much larger metal 3D printers, developing new test cells, and pursuing rigorous standards all feed in to this next phase of growth for our program. To everyone on the NordSpace team who designed, printed, tested, and refined these engines across so many late nights, early mornings and weekends, thank you. This chapter made everything that follows possible, and the next one starts now.

Sejjil is the Message Today, Iran launched a Sejjil missile - its solid-fueled, medium-range ballistic system that has seen relatively few operational appearances since its initial test in 2008. Reports from Israeli and regional sources claim the missile was intercepted, but with no visual confirmation and media coverage tightly controlled by Israeli authorities, the actual outcome remains unclear. The Sejjil is a two-stage, road-mobile ballistic missile with an estimated range of 2,000 to 2,500 kilometers. Its use of solid fuel marks a significant operational advantage: shorter preparation time, faster launch capability, and greater survivability compared to liquid-fueled systems. This allows for more rapid deployment and less vulnerability to preemptive strikes, enhancing Iran’s ability to respond flexibly in a conflict scenario. While recent public focus has been on the Khorramshahr-class missiles, especially with the development of Khorramshahr-4 (Kheibar), the Sejjil offers a different set of advantages. Although it carries a lighter warhead, it is more launch-ready due to its solid propulsion. This makes it more suited for time-sensitive missions and rapid response strategies. Today’s reported launch reinforces the message that Iran is maintaining and gradually modernizing a diverse missile arsenal. The event also highlights the limits of open-source verification in environments where the flow of information is tightly managed. Whether or not the missile was successfully intercepted, the launch itself is a reminder of Iran’s continued emphasis on building operationally credible deterrent capabilities across its missile forces.

😏Secrets of deceleration assessment… it’s not about the turn.🙋🏽‍♂️ For 15 years I have studied great coaches. A common thread has been that they all use intense actions as movement screens. Thus they have a great coaching eye. ❓Why intense actions? 🙋🏽‍♂️Analysis of sprinting, stoping , turning , hopping, jumping, cutting, backwards running opens a diagnostic window to assess how athletes create pretension and share load across their system. dpfaff has made this clear 🏥Be it for rehab (physios are coaches in my world) or for explosive sports. It’s the same screen, but through different lenses 🧐🤓 👀What are they looking at? 💡The same thing as you. 👀What do they SEE? 🤔Well that’s a different story. Damian Harper, PhD has set the scene for what metrics matter and Tom Dos'Santos has re-clarified the shapes that are safe vs effective for deceleration and COD. ↩️When you watch a 180 degree turn, all the focus is on the turn. Turning and being perturbed at speed is the ultimate speed ability for team sports and also a moment of tragedy for knees and hamstrings. To assess turning efficiency we use vuemotion to measure the shapes , velocities , decelerations and movement efficiency of team sports players. We create PSR reports to simplify the metrics and make it actionable for our clients across professional leagues. ⚽️🏀🏈🥎🎾🏉 📝The plant step is important but is highly impacted by the previous 1-5 steps. 🦘Just like in the Olympics. A good take off in the long jump is the result of the preceding 4-5 “steering steps”.

Do they share the load? 🤔How do they coordinate co contractions around hip and knee? Can they sit to create leverage? 🤔 What do asymmetries say about physical qualities and player confidence? 🧪When assessing deceleration for team sports we recognise the 15-0-5 for its maximal intensities but we utilise the 10-0-5 more often because we can get more reps and teaching moments out of it.

Why you never touch AM radio towers. The invention of the AM radio tower revolutionized the way radio signals were transmitted and received, leading to a significant advancement in the field of broadcasting. The story of the AM radio tower begins in the late 19th century when scientists and inventors were exploring ways to transmit wireless signals over long distances. During this time, Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor and electrical engineer, was conducting experiments with radio waves and had successfully achieved long-distance wireless communication using simple antennas. However, the range and quality of the signals were limited, and Marconi realized the need for more efficient methods of transmission. In 1906, a significant breakthrough occurred when Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian-born inventor, successfully transmitted the first audio program using continuous wave (CW) radio technology. This accomplishment set the stage for further advancements in radio broadcasting. As the demand for radio broadcasting grew, engineers began to realize the need for a more powerful and efficient means of transmitting signals over greater distances. The key challenge was to overcome the limitations of the existing antenna systems and achieve higher transmission power. Enter the invention of the AM radio tower. The concept behind the AM radio tower was to utilize tall structures to support and enhance the transmission of radio signals. The tower would act as an antenna, capable of radiating electromagnetic waves efficiently and effectively. One of the pioneers in the development of AM radio towers was Major Edwin Armstrong, an American electrical engineer and inventor. Armstrong made significant contributions to radio technology and is often credited with inventing the modern system of amplitude modulation (AM) for radio transmission. Armstrong recognized that by placing a radio transmitter high above the ground, the signal could be transmitted with increased power and range. He designed and constructed the first practical AM radio tower, known as the "Alexanderson Alternator," which was erected in 1908. The Alexanderson Alternator tower was an impressive structure, consisting of a tall steel tower with multiple antennas mounted on it. The tower's height allowed for better signal propagation and reduced interference, resulting in clearer and more reliable radio broadcasts.

It paved the way for the introduction of FM radio, television broadcasting, and other wireless communication technologies that we rely on today. In conclusion, the invention of the AM radio tower revolutionized the field of radio broadcasting by providing a more efficient and powerful means of transmitting signals over long distances. It was a key milestone in the evolution of wireless communication and laid the foundation for the modern broadcasting systems we enjoy today.

Why you never touch AM radio towers. The invention of the AM radio tower revolutionized the way radio signals were transmitted and received, leading to a significant advancement in the field of broadcasting. The story of the AM radio tower begins in the late 19th century when scientists and inventors were exploring ways to transmit wireless signals over long distances. During this time, Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor and electrical engineer, was conducting experiments with radio waves and had successfully achieved long-distance wireless communication using simple antennas. However, the range and quality of the signals were limited, and Marconi realized the need for more efficient methods of transmission. In 1906, a significant breakthrough occurred when Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian-born inventor, successfully transmitted the first audio program using continuous wave (CW) radio technology. This accomplishment set the stage for further advancements in radio broadcasting. As the demand for radio broadcasting grew, engineers began to realize the need for a more powerful and efficient means of transmitting signals over greater distances. The key challenge was to overcome the limitations of the existing antenna systems and achieve higher transmission power. Enter the invention of the AM radio tower. The concept behind the AM radio tower was to utilize tall structures to support and enhance the transmission of radio signals. The tower would act as an antenna, capable of radiating electromagnetic waves efficiently and effectively. One of the pioneers in the development of AM radio towers was Major Edwin Armstrong, an American electrical engineer and inventor. Armstrong made significant contributions to radio technology and is often credited with inventing the modern system of amplitude modulation (AM) for radio transmission.

HOW TO COOL AI SERVERS IN LOW EARTH ORBIT—SOLVED - Revolutionary Cooling for Space-Based AI: Adapting JWST’s Acoustic Cryogenic System for the Next Frontier The unforgiving vacuum of space, where temperatures plummet to near absolute zero, managing heat is a paradoxical challenge. Satellites and spacecraft generate internal warmth from electronics, processors, and power systems, but they can’t rely on air or water for dissipation—there’s no atmosphere to conduct it away. Traditional methods like radiative heat sinks have served us well, beaming excess thermal energy into the void as infrared radiation. Yet, as we push toward deploying massive AI servers in orbit—think constellations of edge-computing nodes for real-time data analysis, autonomous satellite swarms, or even orbital supercomputers—these old reliables fall short. Enter the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ingenious cryogenic cooling system, which leverages acoustic waves to chill instruments to just 7 Kelvin (-266°C). This isn’t science fiction; it’s proven technology that’s already orbiting 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. In this article, we’ll explore how this system can be repurposed to cool space-based AI servers, and why it’s not just superior but the lowest-cost option compared to radiative sinks, thermoelectric coolers, or other alternatives. The JWST Cooling Marvel: Sound Waves as the Ultimate Chill Factor At the heart of JWST’s success is its ability to maintain ultra-low temperatures for its sensitive infrared detectors, which peer into the universe’s coolest phenomena—like distant galaxies shrouded in cosmic dust. Unlike optical telescopes that can tolerate room temperature, JWST’s instruments demand cryogenic conditions to suppress thermal noise, ensuring faint signals aren’t drowned out by the hardware’s own heat. The star of the show is the pulse-tube cryocooler, a mechanical refrigerator that uses sound waves—specifically, oscillating pressure waves generated by a pair of piston-like pumps—to drive a refrigeration cycle without any moving parts in the cold sections. Here’s how it breaks down: 1The Acoustic Engine: Linear compressors (essentially high-frequency pistons) create rhythmic pressure pulses, akin to a low-hum rumble from a subwoofer. These “sound waves” propagate through a tube filled with high-pressure helium gas, compressing and expanding it rhythmically. 2The Regenerator Magic: The waves pass through a porous regenerator matrix (made of materials like lead spheres or rare-earth compounds) that stores and releases “coldness.” As the helium expands in the cold end, it absorbs heat from the telescope’s optics; on the compression stroke, that heat is shuttled back toward the warmer sections. 3Multi-Stage Precision: JWST employs a three-stage setup. The first two stages cool to around 18K and 50K using passive techniques like Joule-Thomson expansion (where gas cools as it expands through a valve). The third stage, the pulse-tube heart, drops the mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) to 7K. This staged approach minimizes power draw while maximizing efficiency. 4Heat Exile via Exchangers: Waste heat from the warm end—peaking at about 27°C from electronics and compressors—is captured by compact heat exchangers. These finned, aerospace-grade radiators then radiate it away, often aided by the spacecraft’s deliberate “wobble” (a 2 RPM rotation) to evenly expose surfaces to deep space. No massive fins needed; the system is sleeker than a smartphone. This setup consumes just 200-300 watts—less than a desktop PC—yet cools to temperatures unattainable by passive means. It’s vibration-isolated too, with counter-rotating pumps canceling out shakes that could blur JWST’s pinpoint images. Proven over years in orbit, it’s a testament to engineering elegance: turning sound into silence, heat into cosmic clarity. 1 of 3

IOTA is being born. 🐣 For almost a decade, the IOTA Foundation has been the mother of IOTA. It carried it, protected it, fed it, corrected it, rebuilt it when necessary, and kept it alive long enough to turn a technological intuition into real infrastructure. But no decentralized network is meant to live forever under its mother’s protection. A foundation is not the final form of a public DLT. It is the womb. The incubator. The structure that allows something immature to survive until it is ready to breathe on its own. And that moment is now approaching. With IOTA Rebased, Move at the base layer, staking, validators, real programmability, and now Starfish live on Mainnet through Protocol Version 24, IOTA is no longer a promise guarded by its mother. It is becoming an adult network. Not just a project. Not just a vision. Not just an architecture waiting for its moment. It is public infrastructure for the real world. 🌍 🔹 The IOTA Foundation is now entering its great year of delivery. One year, maybe a year and a half, in which it will have to consume part of its tokens, not as a sign of weakness, but as the final stage of separation. 🔹 Many will read this as bearish. To me, it is exactly the opposite. It is the umbilical cord being cut in front of everyone. 🔹 Because no truly neutral infrastructure can depend forever on a European foundation. Not Africa, not ASEAN, not America, and not any major global trade corridor will fully trust a public DLT if they perceive that one legal entity still holds too much power over it. That is the key. For IOTA to become bigger, the IF has to become smaller. For IOTA to become more neutral, the IF has to stop being the center. For IOTA to become global infrastructure, it has to stop looking like a network protected by its mother and start behaving like a network that belongs to the world. 🌍 During this phase, some validator nodes supported by IF-delegated tokens will disappear. And although some people will misread this, it is part of the natural process. Those nodes were scaffolding. They helped raise the initial structure, gave stability to the launch, and allowed the network to start walking. But the scaffolding is not the building. When the building is ready, the scaffolding comes down. First, only a few independent validators will enter. Then more. Then competition. And eventually, a real economic fight for validator positions inside a network that no longer depends on its mother’s initial protection. That is decentralization entering adulthood. 💎 The IOTA Foundation also has to become independent from IOTA. Its natural path should no longer be to act as the permanent treasury of the network, but to build real products on top of it. That is where TWIN comes in. TWIN can become the major enterprise, institutional and commercial layer built on IOTA. A SaaS layer for global trade, traceability, digital identity, compliance, digital product passports, logistics, customs, exporters, governments and supply chains. 🧬 The IF would then stop being the mother feeding the child and become something much healthier and much more powerful. 🔥 A customer of IOTA. 🔥 A builder on IOTA. 🔥 An operator using neutral infrastructure to deliver real products to the market. 🔥 That is the right model. Bitcoin does not need a foundation to feed it. It does not need a CEO. It does not need a treasury to keep it emotionally alive. Bitcoin simply exists and offers what it is. Scarcity, settlement, monetary resistance and neutrality. IOTA has to do the same in its own territory. Not only as money, but as digital trust infrastructure for trade, data, identity, real-world assets, machines, institutions and entire economies. 🔹 In 2027 or 2028, TWIN could spin out as an autonomous SaaS business, with recurring revenue, institutional clients and the ability to attract real capital rounds. 🔹 Not crypto grants. Not community funding. Real institutional capital. 🔹 If it proves traction, adoption and revenue, we could be talking about Series A or Series B rounds, each in the tens of millions of dollars. And major investors are already keeping one eye on this coming opportunity.👀👀👀👀👀💰💰💰💰💰 Meanwhile, IOTA would become freer and freer. 💎 Free from dependence on its foundation. 💎 Free from a central treasury. 💎 Free from institutions. 💎 Free from founders. 💎 Free from non-decentralized decisions. 💎 Free even from the need for someone to “save” it. A public network does not reach maturity when its mother protects it better, but when it no longer needs protection. That is why this moment is not bearish. It is brutally bullish. The child is ready to leave home. And when a decentralized network leaves home, it stops being a project and starts becoming infrastructure. Bitcoin needed one paper to decentralize money. IOTA has needed a decade to decentralize real-world trust. And maybe the market will take time to understand it, but the most bullish moment in IOTA’s history may be exactly this. Some will see a mother letting go of her child’s hand. Others will see a network finally being born as sovereign, neutral and free infrastructure. To the untrained eye, the truth may look bearish. To the wise, it will look exactly the opposite. Bullish in its purest form. 💎 Born to be decentralize! #IOTA #IF #Move #TWIN #ASEAN #AfCFTA

🇵🇰 | Pakistan's new deterrence equation 🔺️Following the four-day military conflict with India in May, Pakistan created a new Army Rocket Force Command (ARFC). 🔺️Some dismiss it as a hurried move in the aftermath of recent Indo-Pak tensions. Others suspect it signals a shift toward escalation. Both views miss the point. 🔺️Background discussions with relevant authorities suggest the ARFC is not an overnight reaction but rather the culmination of a long, painstaking evolution in Pakistan's conventional military doctrine. For decades, Pakistan has been grappling with a fundamental challenge on how to balance India's overwhelming conventional superiority without sliding into overreliance on nuclear weapons. The answer, refined gradually by military planners and scientists, has been to strengthen long-range conventional strike options. The ARFC is the manifestation of that journey. At its core, ARFC consolidates Pakistan's long-range rocket and missile capabilities under a single command structure. Until now, artillery divisions with long-range vectors were dispersed, operating in relative isolation. Bringing them together under one umbrella reflects an effort at synergy, efficiency and doctrinal clarity. It is about using what already exists in a smarter way. The Fateh-series rockets stand at the heart of this project. With their enhanced range and precision, they symbolise a new phase in Pakistan's conventional response regime. These rockets are not just about raw firepower, they are about control, flexibility and credible deterrence short of the nuclear threshold. In future conflicts, such capabilities will allow Pakistan to deliver short, sharp and intense firepower duels in order to impose costs without inviting full-scale war. The timing of ARFC's unveiling invites speculation. India has been steadily expanding its conventional military edge, investing in missile defence systems and modernising its forces. Against this backdrop, Pakistan's move is as much about perception management as operational readiness. By institutionalising ARFC, Islamabad sends a clear signal. It has the means to circumvent India's air defence umbrella and strike across its territory. This matters in deterrence psychology. If India believes Pakistan lacks credible conventional responses, it may be tempted to push the envelope. The ARFC is designed to raise those costs and close that window of temptation. South Asia's deterrence debate has long been dominated by the nuclear question. Yet deterrence does not begin and end with nuclear weapons. Conventional capabilities matter. They shape the spectrum of conflict that exists below the nuclear threshold. ARFC serves as what analysts call an "operational leveler". It dilutes conventional asymmetry and complicates Indian war plans. By holding high-value targets at risk deep inside Indian territory, ARFC expands Pakistan's options in the event of a crisis. More importantly, it strengthens deterrence by punishment, the ability to inflict quick and decisive costs on any adversary who dares to test Pakistan's resolve. Skeptics will ask whether ARFC blurs the line between conventional and nuclear deterrence. The answer lies in its very design. 1/2.... Cont #Pakistan #India #Modi Read:

Before we get into that ingenious cooling stunt, let's first meet the star of the story: Yuncheng (运城), north China's Shanxi Province. This seemingly low-key city actually has a few remarkable identities that may completely change the way you see it. China's "No. 1 City of National Treasures" Yuncheng is home to 100+ cultural heritage sites under national-level protection, with an astonishing concentration of ancient architecture. Step into almost any county in the area, and you may come across a temple, pagoda, or mural that has survived a thousand years. East Asia's Oldest Paleolithic Site? It is home to one of the earliest known Paleolithic sites in East Asia, dating back approximately 1.8 million years. Some European studies even suggest that the site may be more than 2.4 million years old. Salt Lake City, meet your Chinese twin Yuncheng is home to a salt lake spanning roughly 154 square kilometers, with a salt-harvesting history stretching back some 4,000 years. Salt Lake City, meet China's Salt Lake City. Perhaps it's time to make this a sister-city relationship, Salt Lake City Government ? And its waters are actually saltier than those of the Dead Sea, buoyant enough to let a person float effortlessly on the surface. The only thing that doesn't float here is its fame. Hometown of Guan Yu (关羽) China's legendary warrior saint, Guan Yu, was born there more than 1,800 years ago. Celebrated for his unwavering loyalty and valor, and immortalized by the tragedy of a fatal misjudgment in his final years, he went on to influence Chinese culture for nearly two millennia. Even today, countless temples across China dedicated to him remain active, from Taiwan to Xinjiang. By all accounts, Yuncheng has no shortage of history and culture worthy of making headlines. Yet what recently propelled the city into the national spotlight was not its cultural heritage, though. It was the rooftop of an ordinary residential complex-where it suddenly began to "rain." This summer, a punishing heatwave has swept across Europe, while much of China has also been gripped by prolonged high temperatures. Against this backdrop, an unusual cooling system that sends a fine mist drifting down from above has captured nationwide attention. According to the property developer, the system was officially put into operation in August 2024. Each building, 100 meters tall, is equipped with more than 200 high-pressure misting nozzles installed along the rooftop. The fine droplets absorb heat as they evaporate, helping to lower the surrounding temperature. The system enters regular operation each June, with a single cycle lasting about 10 minutes. My colleagues took on-site measurements. Before the system kicked in, the ground temperature within the complex had climbed to 44 degrees Celsius. Once the system began operating, clouds of fine spray descended from above. Children opened umbrellas and played in the artificial "rain." After the spraying cycle ended, measurements showed that the ground temperature had fallen to around 33 degrees Celsius, while the temperature within the mist-covered area dropped significantly, turning a sweltering afternoon into something noticeably cooler and far more comfortable environment. According to the property management, the operating costs are fully covered by the community's shared property-management budget, meaning residents pay nothing extra. The system draws on ordinary tap water. Because the droplets are so fine, most of the water evaporates before it ever reaches the ground. Beyond cooling the air, it helps reduce dust and provides some irrigation for nearby greenery, allowing the same water to serve multiple purposes. This residential community is not the only place experimenting with creative ways to cope with extreme heat. As high temperatures continue, cities across China are introducing increasingly practical and locally adapted cooling measures. In Beijing, Turpan, and many other cities, air-conditioned service stations have opened their doors to sanitation workers, delivery riders, and other outdoor workers. These stations provide watermelon, chilled drinks, ready-to-eat food, and heatstroke-prevention supplies, all free of charge. In some locations, field workers have also been equipped with cooling vests and other protective gear designed for extreme heat. Kaifeng (开封), in central China's Henan Province, has taken an approach that carries a touch of romance all its own. About a thousand years ago, Kaifeng served as the capital of China, during a period when science and technology, urban civilization, and the visual arts flourished. Today, the city is home to several large theme parks and has become one of China's major cultural tourism destinations. Some have even dubbed it "China's Orlando." Kaifeng is also renowned for its watermelons. This year's bumper harvest, however, has left some local growers struggling to find enough buyers. In response, several theme parks have stepped in to purchase large quantities of local watermelons in bulk. The initiative helps farmers expand their sales channels, and allows the parks to hand out thousands of kilograms of free watermelon to visitors each day, offering a refreshing respite from the summer heat. From mist raining down on rooftops, to icy drinks pressed into the hands of delivery riders, to free watermelons handed out by the truckload-different cities, one shared answer. Fighting the heat doesn't always take billion-dollar mega-projects. Sometimes, it just takes a little imagination, and a lot of heart. It might be a shower of mist falling from a rooftop, a wearable cooling suit, or a slice of freshly cut, ice-cold watermelon. What's the coolest heat-relief idea in YOUR city? Drop it in the comments, let's see who wins summer. (And to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere and Alaska-tell us your winter survival tricks instead. We'll need them in December☕)

Even today, countless temples across China dedicated to him remain active, from Taiwan to Xinjiang. By all accounts, Yuncheng has no shortage of history and culture worthy of making headlines. Yet what recently propelled the city into the national spotlight was not its cultural heritage, though. It was the rooftop of an ordinary residential complex-where it suddenly began to "rain." This summer, a punishing heatwave has swept across Europe, while much of China has also been gripped by prolonged high temperatures. Against this backdrop, an unusual cooling system that sends a fine mist drifting down from above has captured nationwide attention. According to the property developer, the system was officially put into operation in August 2024. Each building, 100 meters tall, is equipped with more than 200 high-pressure misting nozzles installed along the rooftop. The fine droplets absorb heat as they evaporate, helping to lower the surrounding temperature. The system enters regular operation each June, with a single cycle lasting about 10 minutes. My colleagues took on-site measurements. Before the system kicked in, the ground temperature within the complex had climbed to 44 degrees Celsius. Once the system began operating, clouds of fine spray descended from above. Children opened umbrellas and played in the artificial "rain." After the spraying cycle ended, measurements showed that the ground temperature had fallen to around 33 degrees Celsius, while the temperature within the mist-covered area dropped significantly, turning a sweltering afternoon into something noticeably cooler and far more comfortable environment. According to the property management, the operating costs are fully covered by the community's shared property-management budget, meaning residents pay nothing extra. The system draws on ordinary tap water. Because the droplets are so fine, most of the water evaporates before it ever reaches the ground. Beyond cooling the air, it helps reduce dust and provides some irrigation for nearby greenery, allowing the same water to serve multiple purposes. This residential community is not the only place experimenting with creative ways to cope with extreme heat. As high temperatures continue, cities across China are introducing increasingly practical and locally adapted cooling measures. In Beijing, Turpan, and many other cities, air-conditioned service stations have opened their doors to sanitation workers, delivery riders, and other outdoor workers. These stations provide watermelon, chilled drinks, ready-to-eat food, and heatstroke-prevention supplies, all free of charge. In some locations, field workers have also been equipped with cooling vests and other protective gear designed for extreme heat. Kaifeng (开封), in central China's Henan Province, has taken an approach that carries a touch of romance all its own. About a thousand years ago, Kaifeng served as the capital of China, during a period when science and technology, urban civilization, and the visual arts flourished. Today, the city is home to several large theme parks and has become one of China's major cultural tourism destinations. Some have even dubbed it "China's Orlando." Kaifeng is also renowned for its watermelons. This year's bumper harvest, however, has left some local growers struggling to find enough buyers. In response, several theme parks have stepped in to purchase large quantities of local watermelons in bulk. The initiative helps farmers expand their sales channels, and allows the parks to hand out thousands of kilograms of free watermelon to visitors each day, offering a refreshing respite from the summer heat. From mist raining down on rooftops, to icy drinks pressed into the hands of delivery riders, to free watermelons handed out by the truckload-different cities, one shared answer. Fighting the heat doesn't always take billion-dollar mega-projects. Sometimes, it just takes a little imagination, and a lot of heart. It might be a shower of mist falling from a rooftop, a wearable cooling suit, or a slice of freshly cut, ice-cold watermelon. What's the coolest heat-relief idea in YOUR city? Drop it in the comments, let's see who wins summer. (And to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere and Alaska-tell us your winter survival tricks instead. We'll need them in December☕)

RUSSIA is dominating the WORLD NUCLEAR ICEBREAKING FLEET ! The NS Ural (Russian: атомный ледокол «Урал») stands as one of Russia's and World's most advanced nuclear-powered icebreakers, embodying the country's determination to dominate Arctic shipping routes. As the third vessel in the Project 22220 (also known as LK-60Ya or Arktika-class) series, Ural represents a new generation of versatile, high-powered icebreakers designed for year-round operations in harsh polar conditions. Operated by FSUE Atomflot under Rosatom, it plays a vital role in escorting cargo along the Northern Sea Route (NSR), supporting Russia's energy exports and strategic Arctic ambitions. Construction of Ural began at the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg, with the keel laid on July 25, 2016. The ship launched on May 25, 2019, and underwent sea trials in October 2022 before official commissioning on November 22, 2022, during a flag-raising ceremony. Minor delays occurred due to steam turbine issues and a small fire during outfitting, but the vessel entered service swiftly. It is named after the Ural Mountains and registered in Murmansk. As of 2026, Ural operates alongside sisters Arktika, Sibir, and Yakutia, with more vessels like Chukotka under construction. Ural measures approximately 173 meters (568 feet) in length, with a beam of 34 meters and a displacement of up to 33,540 tons at full load. Its innovative dual-draft design allows a minimum draught of 8.6 meters for shallow river mouths and coastal waters, extending to 10.5 meters for deep-sea operations. This versatility enables the icebreaker to navigate both the open Arctic Ocean and Siberian river estuaries like the Ob and Yenisei. The hull features a reinforced ice-class structure capable of breaking through ice up to 2.8–3 meters thick at a continuous speed of about 2 knots, while achieving 22 knots in open water. A crew of around 75 operates the vessel, which has an endurance of several months for provisions. At the heart of Ural's power are two RITM-200 pressurized water reactors, each providing 175 MWt of thermal capacity (delivering about 30 MW to the propellers per reactor). This fourth-generation nuclear propulsion system offers exceptional reliability, with fuel lasting up to seven years between refuelings. The reactors drive three shaft lines with fixed-pitch propellers, granting immense icebreaking capability while minimizing environmental impact compared to older diesel-electric vessels. The design prioritizes efficiency, safety, and reduced emissions, aligning with modern nuclear maritime standards. Since entering service, Ural has actively supported NSR operations. It has escorted large container ships and bulk carriers through icy waters in the East Siberian and Chukchi Seas, and in early 2025, it carved a 170-nautical-mile ice channel in the Kara Sea at an average speed of 6.7 knots. In winter 2025–2026, Russia deployed all eight of its nuclear icebreakers—including Ural—simultaneously for the first time to maintain export routes amid heavy ice, highlighting the vessel's operational importance for LNG and hydrocarbon shipments. Ural strengthens Russia's Arctic strategy by facilitating faster, safer navigation along the NSR, a route that shortens transit times between Europe and Asia. Amid growing international interest in the Arctic, including from China, these icebreakers secure commercial and geopolitical advantages. With Project 22220 expanding to seven vessels, Ural exemplifies Russia's engineering prowess and long-term commitment to polar supremacy. Its combination of raw power, adaptability, and nuclear endurance makes it a cornerstone of the modern Russian icebreaker fleet, ensuring reliable access to the resources and passages of the frozen north.

For years, NordSpace has been building towards one goal: launching Canadian payloads on Canadian rockets from Canadian soil in a way that’s technologically scalable and commercially sustainable through painstaking vertical integration. Today, that vision is rapidly taking shape and we are pleased to share this inspiring video preview of what Canada’s historic first sovereign orbital space launch will look like. Enjoy! Tundra is NordSpace’s domestically designed, built, and operated light-lift responsive orbital rocket. It can carry up to 1,100 kg fully optimized to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) powered by our proprietary Hadfield rocket engines that are 3D-printed, regeneratively cooled, and pump fed representing the most powerful orbital-class propulsion system in Canada. The modular architecture means the same engine powers both the multi-engine first stage and the vacuum-optimized second stage, reducing complexity while creating a direct scaling path toward our future reusable Titan medium-lift vehicle, capable of 5,000+ kg to LEO. The Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX), under construction in Newfoundland and Labrador, is positioned at 46 degrees latitude providing launch access to polar, sun-synchronous, and mid-inclination orbits with the widest range of nominal launch inclinations of any Canadian spaceport. It’s the only fully Canadian-owned and purpose-built commercial orbital launch facility in the country with the highest approved launch cadence and safety distances allowing us to maximize the efficiency, reliability, scalability, and unit economics of our entire launch program. What distinguishes NordSpace is our commitment to vertical integration and first principles approach to business and technology. Rockets, spaceport, and spacecraft are all designed, manufactured, and operated in Canada by one streamlined team. We have already demonstrated flight-ready propulsion, completed integrated rocket tests, and have our first pathfinder satellite, Terra Nova, manifested for launch in 2026 with our edge-AI imaging payload (Chronos) for space domain awareness nd our electric propulsion system (Zephyr-EP). With recently announced $8.3 million in Phase 1 federal funding through the Department of National Defence’s Launch the North initiative, NordSpace is targeting Initial Operational Capability by 2028. Canada is about to become a true spacefaring nation, and our future on Earth and in space will never be the same. Let’s give’r! 🇨🇦🚀 National Defence Defence Research and Development Canada Canadian Space Agency

BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE NANOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH mRNA VACCINES. Since Moderna called their mRNA jabs an "operating system" designed to program humans, people were confused and nervous. And they should be. The type of tech that these pharmaceutical companies are developing along with other leading companies like the Pentagon's DARPA and many other leading researchers and tech innovators with self-assembling and other types of nanotechnology, developing sensors, electrodes, and BMI devices to enter the body through mRNA vaccines and other methods to have control, monitor, induce behavior, emotions, functions, even read and write to the brain, etc., are literally terrifying. This isn't something that's coming within the next 5 to 10 years. It's already here. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), as a cutting-edge technology, refers to the establishment of a direct communication channel between the brain and peripheral electronic devices to realize the efficient information exchange between people and machines. It in a narrow sense refers to the establishment between the brain and the external environment does not depend on the peripheral nerve and muscle new communication and control channel, by measuring and collecting the central nervous system activity, and its directly translated can be recognized by external artificial equipment signal or instruction, so as to realize the direct communication and control of the brain and external equipment. Generalized brain computer interface includes input BCI, output BCI and interactive BCI, the input BCI is by external equipment or machine to the brain input electrical, magnetic, acoustic and optical stimulation of brain-computer interface system, output BCI is the signal of the brain into the external equipment control instructions, interactive BCI is by feedback nerve output and input link connected to form a closed loop brain computer interface system. Nanotechnology plays a key role in the innovative applications of neuroscience and brain computer interfaces. By taking advantage of the unique properties of ministerial, such as high conductivity, biocompatibility and regulation, scientists are able to design more sophisticated and efficient brain-computer interface devices. These devices can not only realize the precise recording and stimulation of nerve signals, but also promote the repair and regeneration of nerve tissue, providing new tools and means for neuroscience research and clinical application. Therefore, the innovative application of self-assembling, biodegradable, graphene, etc., nanotechnology in the interface between neuroscience and brain computer technology is gradually promoting the rapid development of this field, providing infinite possibilities for humans to explore the mysteries of the brain and improve the neural function. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) enable direct communication between the brain and external devices, but their performance heavily depends on the quality of the electrodes. Traditional materials, such as gold and platinum, offer high conductivity but often struggle with biocompatibility and can cause tissue damage due to their mechanical mismatch with neural tissue. While conductive polymers provide greater flexibility, they frequently fall short in electrical performance. Nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene, are increasingly considered promising alternatives. These materials combine high conductivity with mechanical flexibility and offer potential improvements in biocompatibility, enhancing the capture and transmission of neural signals. Hybrid materials, which integrate conductive polymers with nanomaterials, have also shown potential by balancing flexibility and signal quality. This review examines recent advancements in nanomaterial-based BCI electrodes and focuses on how these new materials address the limitations of traditional electrodes. It also discusses emerging tools like metallic nanoparticles and nanowires, along with the ongoing challenges of biocompatibility, tissue integration, and ethical considerations. As nanotechnology continues to evolve, it has the potential to significantly enhance the functionality and longevity of BCIs, making them more effective in facilitating neural communication. Nanotechnology, as the frontier field of the development of science and technology in the 21st century, is gradually penetrating into the research of neuroscience and brain-computer interface, injecting new vitality and possibilities into this interdisciplinary subject. With the deepening of human cognition of the brain, neuroscience and brain-computer interface technology has increasingly become a bridge connecting the biological world and the digital world, aiming to interpret the brain information and realize human-computer interaction through advanced technological means, and then promote the innovation of medical treatment, rehabilitation, intelligent control and other fields. The introduction of nanotechnology provides a different perspective and means to solve the technical problems in the field of neuroscience and brain-computer interface. Antimalarial, with their unique structural characteristics, excellent photoelectric properties and excellent mechanical properties, show great potential in the application of neural interfaces. In structure, the small size effect of ministerial enables them to combine more closely with nerve cells to reduce tissue damage during implantation. In terms of photoelectric properties, the high electrical conductivity and tunable optical properties of ministerial enable the accurate recording and stimulation of nerve signals. In mechanical properties, the toughness and elasticity of ministerial ensure their stability and reliability in the long-term implantation process. These improvements in properties not only significantly enhance the biocompatibility of neural interfaces and reduce the risk of immune response, but also greatly improve the transmission efficiency and accuracy of neural signals, laying a solid foundation for the further progress of neuroscience and brain-computer interface technology. The main nanomaterials in the brain-computer interface is classified according to the organic nanomaterials in the composition, such as carbon nanotubes, graphite and nanoseconds, play an important role in neuroscience and brain-computer interfaces with their superior biocompatibility, high conductivity and lightweight properties. They need to be able to enhance electrode flexibility, improve signal recording quality and stimulation efficiency. Semiconductor ministerial, such as organic electrochemical transistors, have excellent ionic and electron conduction properties and can serve as an interactive interface between biology and electronics to achieve highly sensitive signal detection. As a typical spongy and wet material, hydrogel is widely studied and used because of its unique mechanical properties, biocompatibility and ionic conductivity. It can provide a good carrier for a variety of inorganic ministerial and build composites with better performance. There are also magnetic antiparticle, quantum dots and up conversion antiparticle, which play an important role in advanced imaging technologies and can realize the visualization of specific pathological markers or cellular processes, contributing to the early diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases. Although these technologies are great for people with disabilities or illnesses, just like many other technologies, it's already being weaponized as developments are already in the process with innovations and numerous methods of control and the monetization of certain aspects throughout this technology. This is a government's dream weapon and privacy will cease to exists along with your own thoughts. This is the world that is sadly already here and in major development for our society. The part that should scare everyone is that this type of technology and nanomaterial is already in some mRNA vaccines, in our food supply, and being sprayed on us, animals, and our food from above. Sadly, how much they've been lying to us. Let's just say it wouldn't surprise me if a large amount of people around the globe have some kind of self-assembling, nanotechnology inside them already. Especially the people who took the jabs during covid. I suggest to really do your own research before considering taking any vaccines or shots in general. The writing is on the wall, complete control is the goal, and it's already here.

These improvements in properties not only significantly enhance the biocompatibility of neural interfaces and reduce the risk of immune response, but also greatly improve the transmission efficiency and accuracy of neural signals, laying a solid foundation for the further progress of neuroscience and brain-computer interface technology. The main nanomaterials in the brain-computer interface is classified according to the organic nanomaterials in the composition, such as carbon nanotubes, graphite and nanoseconds, play an important role in neuroscience and brain-computer interfaces with their superior biocompatibility, high conductivity and lightweight properties. They need to be able to enhance electrode flexibility, improve signal recording quality and stimulation efficiency. Semiconductor ministerial, such as organic electrochemical transistors, have excellent ionic and electron conduction properties and can serve as an interactive interface between biology and electronics to achieve highly sensitive signal detection. As a typical spongy and wet material, hydrogel is widely studied and used because of its unique mechanical properties, biocompatibility and ionic conductivity. It can provide a good carrier for a variety of inorganic ministerial and build composites with better performance. There are also magnetic antiparticle, quantum dots and up conversion antiparticle, which play an important role in advanced imaging technologies and can realize the visualization of specific pathological markers or cellular processes, contributing to the early diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases. Although these technologies are great for people with disabilities or illnesses, just like many other technologies, it's already being weaponized as developments are already in the process with innovations and numerous methods of control and the monetization of certain aspects throughout this technology. This is a government's dream weapon and privacy will cease to exists along with your own thoughts. This is the world that is sadly already here and in major development for our society. The part that should scare everyone is that this type of technology and nanomaterial is already in some mRNA vaccines, in our food supply, and being sprayed on us, animals, and our food from above. Sadly, how much they've been lying to us. Let's just say it wouldn't surprise me if a large amount of people around the globe have some kind of self-assembling, nanotechnology inside them already. Especially the people who took the jabs during covid. I suggest to really do your own research before considering taking any vaccines or shots in general. The writing is on the wall, complete control is the goal, and it's already here.

Rebounding, or jumping on a mini-trampoline, offers a variety of health benefits for the body that are both surprising and impressive. Here’s a detailed look at some of the key advantages: 1. Improved Cardiovascular Health ❤️ Rebounding is an excellent way to get your heart pumping and improve cardiovascular health. The rhythmic motion increases heart rate, promoting better circulation and strengthening the heart muscle over time. 2. Lymphatic System Boost 🌿 Unlike many other forms of exercise, rebounding is particularly effective at stimulating the lymphatic system. The up-and-down motion helps to flush out toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials from the body, which can enhance your immune system and overall health. 3. Enhanced Balance and Coordination ⚖️ The unstable surface of the trampoline forces your body to engage multiple muscles to maintain balance, which over time improves your coordination and stability. This can be especially beneficial for older adults looking to maintain their independence and reduce the risk of falls. 4. Low-Impact Exercise 🌟 Despite its effectiveness, rebounding is gentle on the joints. The trampoline absorbs much of the impact, making it a great option for those with joint pain or those recovering from injuries, while still providing a high-intensity workout. 5. Muscle Toning and Strengthening 💪 Rebounding works out various muscle groups, particularly in the core, legs, and lower back. Regular sessions can lead to improved muscle tone, increased strength, and better posture. 6. Improved Bone Density 🦴 The gentle impact on bones from rebounding can stimulate bone growth and increase bone density, which is crucial for preventing osteoporosis and maintaining bone health as we age. 7. Stress Relief and Mental Health 😌 The rhythmic motion of bouncing has been shown to have calming effects, reducing stress and anxiety. Additionally, the physical activity releases endorphins, the body's natural mood lifters, which can help to combat depression and improve overall mental well-being. 8. Better Digestion and Gut Health 🍎 Rebounding can also positively impact digestion by stimulating the digestive tract, promoting better nutrient absorption, and reducing issues like constipation. The gentle motion helps to massage the intestines, aiding in regular bowel movements. 9. Increased Energy Levels ⚡️ Regular rebounding can lead to higher energy levels. The exercise helps to improve circulation and oxygen flow throughout the body, which can leave you feeling more energized and less fatigued throughout the day. 10. Weight Loss and Fat Burning 🔥 Rebounding is an effective calorie-burning exercise. It increases metabolism and helps to burn fat, making it a great option for those looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Incorporating just a few minutes of rebounding into your daily routine can provide a wide array of benefits, making it a versatile and effective way to support your overall health and well-being.

COULD JENRICK’S LEAP TO REFORM UK REIGNITE LEASEHOLDER LIBERATION? 📢 Lots of talk at the Reform UK Robert Jenrick presser about an “inflexion point” for British politics. Wait for it … there’s a leasehold abolition angle. Before defecting yesterday, Robert Jenrick was one of a tiny handful of Conservative parliamentarians who publicly pressured the Rishi Sunak government to go further on freeing leaseholders. Writing in the Telegraph, he called leasehold a symbol of “rip-off Britain”, urged the abolition of forfeiture, a gangster-like device that forces leaseholders to comply with financial demands under threat of having their home seized without compensation over arrears as small as £350, and called for a sunset clause on leasehold. “Today, leasehold stands not as a curiously British anomaly, but as an affront to the distinctly British dream of owning a home and the peace of mind that comes with ownership, rather than the insecurity of renting … a symbol of rip-off Britain, where hidden bills lurk around every corner, and of the growth of crony capitalism, where rent-seekers milk consumers despite adding no value.” We also understand that when the general election was called, Jenrick was one of the very few Conservatives who pressed Number 10 to reverse course and rescue the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill in the wash-up after Sunak and his aides had dropped it. That became the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, which now sits rusting under this The Labour Party government, despite a promise in the July 2024 King’s Speech to “act quickly” to bring its provisions into effect. Some leaseholders criticise his time in office, particularly for giving freeholders a financial windfall under the two-storey permitted development right. This move caused the cost of collective enfranchisement to soar for affected blocks. His handling of the post-Grenfell building safety crisis was also controversial, as it initially risked imposing loans on cladding victims. On the latter, Jenrick secured a £1 billion government fund for remediation in May 2020, agreed with the Treasury and Sunak, then chancellor, and later succeeded in increasing it to £5 billion in February 2021. As his former colleague Stephen Greenhalgh said in 2023, after leaving government: “We forget that Robert Jenrick actually got a lot of money out of the Treasury. He went back and, like Oliver Twist, got more.” Yesterday, Jenrick admitted he made mistakes in government and said, like much of the country, he has been on a journey, realising the uniparty has failed Britain. After leaving the Sunak administration for the backbenches, he recalled how, as Housing Secretary, he resisted pressure from the murky retirement property sector, which had tried to preserve the exemption from a ban on ground rents for new builds that his predecessor had allowed. He ultimately abolished the exemption. “Its lobbyists approached Members of Parliament and my Department and threatened judicial review of our proceedings,” he said. “I considered it an unfair practice, targeted at the most elderly and vulnerable in our society. Why not have a fairer and transparent system where an elderly person knows exactly what they are paying?” He was responsible for the ban on ground rents in new leases under the 2022 Act, which abolished the retirement property exemption and aimed to pave the way for reviving commonhold. In a January 2021 statement, Jenrick secured government commitments to abolish marriage value, advance enfranchisement reform, and revive commonhold, launching a Commonhold Council to prepare the market and consumers ahead of the second-generation tenure’s rollout. Beyond ending ground rents for new builds, in January 2021 Jenrick secured a commitment from Boris Johnson for a second legislative package to free leaseholders. But after he left the Housing Secretary role, the 2022 Queen’s Speech saw this second Bill shelved, reportedly under pressure from the Treasury, Johnson’s own aides, and lobbyists for Big Freehold. The plan was eventually delivered by the Sunak government with the 2024 Act, though it incorporated only a handful of the 2020 Law Commission recommendations that Jenrick had overseen. While Labour has been dragging its feet in power, the Conservative Party has failed to defend the 2024 Act or hold the government to account on a totemic pro-homeownership policy that will reduce the cost of living and expand the property-owning democracy. After the general election, Jenrick was probably the most vocal Conservative MP on leasehold, pressing on Lord Hermer’s strange ECHR legalism thwarting leaseholder liberation, even though he was not the housing spokesperson. Leaseholders have seen no leadership from Conservative Shadow Housing Secretary James Cleverly🇬🇧. On Monday, when Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook was under pressure, Cleverly’s colleague David Simmonds CBE, Conservative MP delivered a disastrous performance in Parliament, asking about local government reorganisation during the leasehold and commonhold debate. Pennycook couldn’t believe his luck. Jenrick is now joining Reform UK, a party that promised cheaper lease extensions and freehold purchase in its last election manifesto. Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧, Reform deputy leader and MP for Boston and Skegness, rightly attacked the Sunak administration for backing down on slashing money-for-nothing ground rents to peppercorn or zero financial value, as promised in the 2019 Conservative manifesto. Tice also personally pushed for this agenda to be included in the Reform manifesto after Nigel Farage MP succeeded him as leader. At a March 2021 press conference, when proposing a “polluter pays” approach to resolving the cladding scandal with a guarantee that financial liability would not fall on leaseholders, in contrast to the Tory policy at the time, Tice said: “With my three decades of experience, I know what some of those landlords are like, and very often they haven’t got the leaseholders’ interests at heart.” It will be interesting to see whether both men continue to push for leaseholder liberation. The 5.3 million households alienated by Labour’s foot-dragging and repeated excuses on ending leasehold are looking to the party at the top of the polls to challenge the government and provide support as we approach crucial local elections. The political economy around housing is changing fast. The New Right are becoming wary of the financialisation of a prime social need. As Donald J. Trump and JD Vance have observed: “People live in homes, not corporations.”
