of hours from its base in Guam.

First submarine export as S. Korea hands over vessel to Indonesia - Duration: 2:02.

South Korea is set to become a part of an exclusive club: Nations that export submarines.

Quite a rapid transition considering Seoul first received the technology to build such

vessels just 3 decades ago.

Cho Sungmin dissect the significance of this maiden event.

A Korean-built submarine rolls out to sea.

Next stop: Indonesia.

This submarine,named 'Nagapasa' , is ready for a handover to Indonesia's Ministry of

Defense at a shipyard in Geoje , a city in Gyeongsangnam-do province.

Nagapasa can travel for 19-thousand-kilometers, a round trip between Korea and Los Angeles,

without making any stop at a port, and is also equipped with eight offensive torpedo

tubes, along with other cutting-edge weaponry.

Indonesian Defense Minister, Ryamizard Ryacudu said he is pleased with the submarine.

"I am expecting that this 1,400-ton submarine will act as a key strategic weapon for our

maritime security in Indonesia."

As Daewoo Shipbuilding & Engineering delivers this submarine to Indonesia, it marks the

first submarine export by a Korean company.

Daewoo took on a one-point-one-billion U.S. dollar contract in 2011 to provide Indonesia

with three submarines, the other two of which are currently under construction.

"We believe that we can guarantee the cost of the technology we have invested in.

We hope our technology can contribute to the Korean navy as well as continuing our partnership

with the Indonesian navy."

The handover of the vessel is regarded as a Korean success in commercializing the technology

which the country first received from Germany in 1988.

In the space of just 30 years, Korea has developed its submarine industry to the extent that

it is now a submarine exporting nation.

With the sale of these three vessels, Korea, joins an elite group of submarine exporting

countries, including the U.K., France, Russia and Germany.

S. Korea's FM, U.S. Secretary of State reaffirm cooperation on N. Korea's nukes and missiles - Duration: 2:16.

The top diplomats of Seoul and Washington reaffirmed cooperation in dealing with North

Korea's nuclear and missile programs.

The talks come as U.S. defense officials expressed concerns Pyongyang will be able to field a

nuclear-tipped ICBM soon.

Connie Kim shares with us what was discussed.

South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha and U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

have exchanged views on a new UN Security Council resolution in response to North Korea's

recent ballistic missile launch.

Speaking on the phone for around half-an-hour on Thursday evening, they agreed on ways to

prevent further North Korean provocations... and pressure the regime to abandon its nuclear

weapons.

"The leaders agreed to continue our close coordination in response to North Korea's

destabilizing violations of UN Security Council resolutions and hold North Korea accountable

for its unlawful actions."

Kang and Tillerson also assessed the current security situation on the Korean Peninsula...

and followed-up on the results of last month's summit between Presidents Moon Jae-in and

Donald Trump.

Close cooperation between the allies is as important as ever,... especially considering

that the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency said this week that North Korea would be able

to field a nuclear-capable ICBM next year.

Responding to that report,… a senior U.S. official, who asked not to be named, said

the North is at a point of attaining a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile "pretty soon."

This is in line with U.S. Army chief Mark Milley's remarks that North Korea's ICBM threat

is advancing faster than most people thought possible.

"North Korea has advanced significantly quicker than many of the expected.

Their intercontinental ballistic missile capability could possibly strike the United States.

More to follow but the time has shortened significantly."

While there are also analysts who do not hold the same assessment as the Pentagon,... it's

hard to argue that North Korea isn't making big strides forward in its missile development.

CIA has already labeled Pyongyang as a massive liability risk and said its mission center

on North Korea is reviewing various options on the regime... when diplomacy does not work

any longer.

the stationing of THAAD in the peninsula.

This response came quickly, as the regime test-fired an ICBM capable of reaching the

U.S. west coast.

Kim Hyun-bin has our top story.

Seoul and Washington have resumed discussions to swiftly deploy the U.S. advanced missile

defense system THAAD to Seongju County,... some 300 kilometers southeast of the capital.

Defense ministry spokesperson Moon Sang-gyun says the two countries will first decide when

and how the deployment will take place.

Once the talks are complete we will install the launchers."

. .

Following Pyongyang's test-firing of an ICBM last Friday, President Moon ordered the military

to resume the deployment of THAAD, reversing his previous decision to suspend the deployment...

until an environmental assessment is carried out.

A THAAD battery consists of six launchers, but only two launchers are currently operational

in Seongju.

President Moon said the other four will be deployed... following discussions between

the allies, though the timing is still undecided.

The decision by South Korea and the U.S. to deploy THAAD was made last year amid the regime's

continuous testing and enhancing of its nuclear and missile capabilities.

Military experts say that the latest ICBM could reach the west coast of the United States.

Meanwhile, the South Korean military is closely monitoring the North for a possible nuclear

test, which it believes could happen this year.

Study One of the Keys to a Happy Life is Being a Generous Person

By Seth Pollard

Let�s be honest for a moment.

You�d probably be thrilled to have a cool million or 2 in the bank.

Money can�t buy happiness, as the saying goes, but what you do with your money (as

well as time and talents, for that matter) might have an awful lot to do with your quality

of life.

Sure, doing something nice for someone else feels nice, but a recent study suggests that

generosity has a positive biological effect on the brain.

For the study, published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Zurich in

Switzerland told 50 people they would receive $100 over a few weeks.

The team asked 25 of the individuals to use the money only on themselves, and asked the

other 25 participants to spend it on someone they knew.

The researchers wanted to know: Would the mere promise to spend the money on someone

else be enough to make people happier?

Before handing out the first batch of cash, the researchers brought those in the give-away

group into the lab and asked them to think about a friend they�d like to give a gift

to and how much they would hypothetically spend.

Then, the participants underwent functional MRI scans so researchers could measure activity

in 3 regions of the brain associated with social behavior, generosity, happiness, and

decision-making.

Those who had pledged to spend the money on other people were more likely to make generous

decisions throughout the duration of the experiment, the team found, compared to those who had

pledged to spend the money on themselves.

The group�s MRI�s showed more interaction between the parts of the brain associated

with altruism and happiness, and the participants expressed higher levels of happiness after

the study ended.

Furthermore, it didn�t matter how generous people were.

Even giving away a small amount of cash impacted the participants� happiness in the same

way.

Lead author Philippe Tobler, associate professor of neuroeconomics and social neuroscience,

said:

�At least in our study, the amount spent did not matter.

It is worth keeping in mind that even little things have a beneficial effect � like bringing

coffee to one�s office mates in the morning.� He added:

�You don�t need to become a self-sacrificing martyr to feel happier.

Just being a little more generous will suffice.� [2]

Co-author Soyoung Park says many questions remain unanswered.

[3]

�There are still some open questions, such as: Can communication between these brain

regions be trained and strengthened?

If so, how?

And, does the effect last when it is used deliberately, that is, if a person only behaves

generously in order to feel happier?� Earlier studies have shown that older people

who are generous tend to be in better physical shape.

Some research has even suggested that spending money on other people is as effective as medication

or exercise for lowering blood pressure.

[1]

So the next time you feel like treating yourself, consider treating someone else instead.

It might make you feel even better.

Tobler said:

�It is worth giving it a shot, even if you think it would not work.

In order to reap health benefits, repeated practice is probably needed so that giving

becomes second nature.�

Photo Etching – Professional Tools for Modelers - Duration: 15:33.

When most of us think of photo etching we think of very small packages at the hobby

shop that cost a fortune for a few small pieces!

But with a very small amount of knowledge you'll soon discover making and using your

very own photo etched parts is much easier than you think.

Let's not waist any more time and get started with the tutorial

The hardest part of this whole process is designing something to etch, at a bare minimum

you can use a program like Microsoft Paint however if you use a program like Adobe Illustrator

or something similar you'll be able to get much better designs.

There's just a bit of a learning curve to using a program like this but the results

are worth the time spent learning the program.

For this tutorial I'll be using the Photo Etching kit from Micro-Mark called the Pro

Etch System, it comes with everything required however if you live overseas you'll need

to purchase the etching chemicals locally from your country.

Supplied are two clear sheets for printing on, before using them make sure they are free

from fingerprints and dirt as this will affect the quality of the print.

One side is ever so slightly duller than the other but it was very difficult to tell.

If you're struggling to figure out what side to print on just grab a high lighter

and draw a small dot in one of the corners, if the highlighter ink rubs off then you'll

need to flip the sheet over, if the highlighter ink doesn't rub away then you have the correct

side for printing. And now we're ready to print

Make sure that all the print settings are set to their highest quality and if you printer

has the option, adjust the color to ensure it prints as dark as possible.

After printing just let it sit aside for 10 minutes to ensure the ink is completely dry.

If you're tempted to try overhead projector clear sheets let me save you some time and

money!

On the left is a projector sheet and right is the micro mark clear sheet.

They both look great right… let's get a closer look.

The micromark sheet looks nice and crisp and the projector sheet in comparison looks terrible!

The ink is uneven, blotchy and more translucent compared to the smooth, sharp and even micro

mark sheet.

Any spots or imperfections can be touched up with a sharpie.

When cutting out the templates leave a fair bit of overhang in the sheets except for the

top sheet, the top sheet needs to be taped to the bottom sheet and this is much easier

if one sheet is bigger than the other.

It's easier to register the template by first taping the bottom sheet to something

white, in the pro etch kit you'll have a sheet of white styrene that does a perfect

job for this.

Just make sure the ink side is facing up on the bottom sheet, now with the top sheet make

sure the ink side of the sheet is facing down and line it up with the bottom sheet.

So the two inked surfaces of each sheet will be touching.

Take your time lining them up, the closer to perfect you can get them the better your

final etched piece will be.

Also just remember that these sheets are not waterproof and if they get any drops of water

on the inner surface they'll be ruined.

So keep them dry.

With everything lined up you can tape the top and bottom sheets together.

You only tape 3 sides so we create a pocket for our metal sheet to slot into.

Now we can remove it from the white sheet, trim away the excess and put it aside to be

used later.

The pro etch system comes with a .005 inch sheet of brass and a .005 inch sheet of stainless

steel, I'll be using brass for these etches.

Cut a piece of brass so it will fit inside the pocket and if you use scissors remember

to flatten out and kinks or bends.

Next I'll cut some photo resist to fit over the metal, It's safe to open the UV sensitive

resist under normal room lighting for a few minutes however to be on the safe side I dim

the lights to preserve the life of the roll.

You'll need one for the top and bottom of the metal.

While I continue to prepare the metal I store the two small pieces of photo resist in a

dark box until I'm ready to apply them.

The metal needs to be polished, simply use the supplied polishing pad.

As you can see at the moment when water is dripped onto the brass it beads up.

To polish dampen the polishing pad with some water and rub back and forth on the metal

in the direction of the grain until the water no longer beads ups but instead evenly spreads

across the surface.

Both sides need polishing and once done rinse the metal with water, try to avoid touching

the top surfaces.

Handle from the edges to avoid getting finger prints on the surface.

Now we can apply the photo resist.

The resist has a protective cover on both sides, one side will peel away much easier

than the other and to do this you'll just need a piece of celo tape and gently peel

revealing the corner.

If you're having trouble you can use two pieces of tape one on each side of the same

corner.

The metal is still wet from cleaning which is what we want, gently place the resist over

the metal and lightly press and rub along the resist.

This will help remove the excess water from between the metal and the photo resist.

Then do the same for the other side of the metal.

In preparation for laminating the metal is placed between two pieces of carrier sheet,

the carrier sheet has a shinny side and a dull side, the metal gets wedged between the

two shinny sides and the dull side should be facing out.

If you're like me and live in Australia you'll need a 110v power source to plug

the laminator into, now we just wait a few minutes for it to heat up.

Now that it's ready we just feed the metal in-between the two carrier sheets through

the laminator, on the second pass we just flip it over and rotate 90 degrees.

Check that you have no bubbles and we can move on…

If you have any bubbles you'll need to strip the photo resist back and start again.

To expose the metal we place it into the template pocket ensuring that it's centered, to make

sure we get nice crisp lines from the exposure we'll need to place the template and metal

in between two pieces of Perspex and clamp tightly from all for sides.

Everything here is all supplied in the kit.

The light I used for exposure is a Nelson portable security flood light and a 100 watt

Philips 100w Clear Edison Reflector Globe, its set up to be 17cm above the table and

about 15cm away from the top surface of the Perspex.

It gets pretty warm so I wouldn't set it up any closer than that.

I set my timer for twelve minutes and go drink a coffee, it will gradually turn a medium

purple color and once the time goes off I flip the plate over and cook on side two for

another 12 minutes.

If you're wondering why 12 minutes it's from doing a few test pieces.

I did one at 10 minutes and it wasn't enough another I did for 15 minutes and some of the

black areas started to become exposed so 12 it was!

To develop and remove the unexposed photo resist I simple use washing soda.

I mix a rough 1% mixture into 100ml's of water.

It doesn't have to be perfect, this stuff is pretty forgiving.

As long as it's close.

Before we dunk out metal into the washing soda we need to remove the final protective

layer.

Again with a piece of sticky tape press it on one corner and peel it back.

You should see a clear sheet being removed.

Do this on both sides.

Drop the metal into the developer bath and gently brush the surface for about 2 minutes

on each side or until all of the unexposed resist has been removed then rinse of in clean

water.

You should be able to see clear edges around your pattern, as if your design is a sticker

that has been pressed on and the metal should look clean.

It's hard to tell on camera but when you look at it and touch it with your own hands

you'll know.

The etching tank is prepared following the supplied instructions, it's pretty straight

forward.

The metal is press into the clip and test fitted into the tank.

To etch I'm using hydrogen peroxide, and I'm using hydrochloric acid.

Because the etchant we're making is highly corrosive you'll most certainly want work

in a well ventilated area and you'll need to use skin and eye protection.

To calculate exactly how much etchant I'll need to mix up I firstly fill the tank with

water up to the desired level, next I weigh the water which in this scenario was just

over 240ml, so know I know in order to mix a 2:1 ration of 2 parts hydrogen peroxide

and 1 part hydrochloric acid I'll need a total of 160ml of hydrogen peroxide and 80ml

of hydrochloric acid.

Were ready to start etching.

Insert the metal that's attached to the lid and turn the air pump on.

Leave it for a few minutes then remove it from the tank give it a quick rinse and remove

it from the clip and rotate it 180 degrees and put it back into the tank again.

I repeat this process about 3 or 4 times.

The side that is pressed into the clip tends to etch slower from that side which is why

we need to rotate it on the clip a few times during etching.

Once it's finished remove the parts from the tank and give them a thorough rinse in

water.

Some bits broke away but that ok.

You may fine some parts are fully etched but others needs just another minute, this is

easily done by removing that part that needs additional etching and placing it a small

container with some of the etching fluid in it.

Gently swish the etchant around until the part is fully etched.

It's possible to do an entire etch in a small container from scratch, I found by elevating

the piece in the container helps get a more even etch however it takes a little bit longer

over all to etch and you'll need to continuously agitate the fluid during the etch.

Just mix up the same ratios of hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid and watch your design

come to life.

Remember to carefully dispose of the etchant solution once you're done, I put mine in

a spare bottle and once it's full I'll take it down to the local waste facility that

can handle these materials.

To remove the rest of the photo resist I roughly mix a heaped teaspoon of washing soda in with

water, after mixing I just place the parts into the water and leave it to soak, after

15 or 20 minutes the resist will just float away revealing the completed pieces.

Now they just need a good rinse in clean water and we have our finished pieces.

I use a good pair of scissors with a very fine tip which is perfect for cutting these

very small parts and you'll also need some small files to clean up the edges.

Here you can see the difference between a 0.015 inch thick pieces of copper and a 0.005

inch piece of brass, you'll soon discover if you have a design with very fine detail

you'll get better results using thinner metal rather than the thicker metal as you

can see from the fine tips on the fence.

The brass on the left has retained the detail while the thicker copper on the right has

rounded tops and it looks overall a lot softer around its edges.

To add these to my models and glue them to plastic I find using CA glue and a pin works

just fine.

That completes the tutorial, you should now have no trouble designing and etching your

very own metal parts to add insane amounts of details to your scenes.

PROTOTYPES & PLANS : SkyPacks iRedstone Elytra Reality & Camo Resource Pack Module Minecraft | ☿ - Duration: 6:43.

Hello, Meri here, welcome to the first "Texture Thursday" episode, yes, on a Friday, I'll explain that later ;)

"Texture Thursday" is a casual overview about what I'm up to regarding resource packs,

in this series you'll see prototypes of new module additions, sneak peeks / spoilers, as well

as well as releases of alternative types or colours of already published modules.

I highly appreciate feedback, even more so on not yet released prototypes, so maybe

I implement your input into it before I release a module, a bit of interactivity with you

would be really cool \ö/ :D

Yeah, speaking of "new module prototypes", generally speaking - and I'm not overexaggerating -

there are literally THOUSANDS possible modules including variants that I can think of to do

It'll be at least interesting even for those amongst you who usually don't use any packs

at all, or a completely different style.

You will still enjoy at least the idea and presentation itself,

I put all my Love and Heart into it, as always ;)

iRedstone.

A module that is a tool for technical players, the 3D clean, modern, "LED cable look" redstone

dust, of course, is part of that pack.

This pack is a matter of my heart, I work on that with great care since very long,

I just don't show much of it publicly ;) - yet ;))

As you might figure from the logo graphics, I plan on 2 different iRedstone packs, one

is a default- or faithful-looking module, the other one will be modern, clean, both

packs will be high-quality of course.

For the iRedstone Default pack, there will be a few exceptions to that Faithful approach,

for example I will also make the Redstone wire look "clean", unlike Default, but it

will be very flat, you can see here in the comparison picture the already released iRedstone

modern Redstone wire with the planned Default Redstone wire, and for height comparison an

iron pressure plate as well.

So, a really really flat wire for the iRedstone Default pack, but still a model, not just a texture

Still a prototype, like I said, I go about that with great care, I always put a lot

of thought and love into my creations :)

Elytra Reality.

You can get wing type 0001 in currently 3 colours, I plan to release this wing type

also in Black as well as White, I'm currently still experimenting with a Dark Purple and Blue

I will let you know in future "Texture Thursday" episodes when and which colour variants

will be released, and where you can get them.

Elytra Reality wing type 0002 will be more simplistic-looking, of course high-quality

textures, but the style will be very subtle, compared to Elytra Reality wing type 0001.

So definitely something for those who prefer a more simplistic and realistic over a somewhat

"magical dreamy" look ;)) And, of course, I also plan on various different

wing types, and not solely those of real or fantasy creatures.

Just wait and see ;)

Elytra Camo: There will be at least 3 more Captain America shield types, but before

I work on those, there's another Superhero that will get a Camo-Elytra.

- Who do you think will be next..?

I'm curious how many of you will get it right, let me know which Superhero, and why you think

they will get a Camo as next one ;)) Of course, feel also free to suggest a new

Elytra Camo type, also for Super-Villains, I already got many Camos planned myself, but

you can come up with something I haven't thought of yet!

On a personal sidenote: I started to learn reading with Superhero comics and also Mickey

Mouse, I'm a huge fan of that genre, and thus will work on those with great passion and love!

Yeah, I really very much enjoy doing these, as it's part of my real life hobbies, but

I will talk about that in my ChillTalk series sometime, and someday I also might even show you

in a Vlog some of my action figure collection }xD

ELYSION

Under this handle I plan to offer you high-quality - and I really mean it.. -

*HIGH* quality - SkyPacks in the future!

Some of you may already know that I'm into Astrophysics, Astronomy has been the first

science topic I loved when I was just a few years old due to SciFi like Star Trek and

Star Wars, and I'm a huge fan of Sci-Fi, generally, so you can expect beautiful - or I should

rather say: stunning-looking SkyPacks coming from a Space nerd and Sci-Fi geek like me :)

While I'm talking, you already saw some little sneak peeks, some rough sketches.

There will be realistic-looking SkyPacks, but also some that will be purely for visual

enjoyment, not really realistic at all, for example with a bunch of visible planets or

planetary objects etc., which I will, for the most part, create myself, you can see

here some prototypes of planets and moons, asteroids, etc.

Of course I'll also partially rely on some footage of NASA and other space institutions,

but I want to create *unique* SkyPacks for you and not only take some images from the

internet, that would be too easy and not very original, like I said, I want to do the best

I can for you, and that naturally involves myself as a creator or artist.

There won't be a "Texture Thursday" episode each week, my Youtube content does not only

focus on resource pack modules, and I'm also very busy in real life as well as

"behind the scenes", and, generally, yeah, my type of content needs a lot of time to be prepared,

no generic-easy-to-do content :)

So, why "Texture Thursday" on a *Friday*?

;) Well, there will be "Texture Thursday" videos

where I won't talk at all, just release some additional variants of already showcased modules,

or showcase some prototypes, and those are the videos that will be published on Thursdays,

5pm UK time, with just text overlays explaining everything.

But if there's any information like in this video, where I can't really explain everything

to you just via text overlay, of course I will make a "talk'y" "Texture Thursday" episode

like this one, which will then usually be released on _Fridays_, as recording with voice

needs way more time, and I need to work }=/ };]

Take care, enjoy life. ☿ Meri ❤
