An incredible new boat is set to transform commuters' journeys in a major UK city. The Orbit Clipper has been described as a "groundbreaking advancement" by its creators, who also say that it will provide an "accessible, green and fast" route across the River Thames seven days a week. The ferry will enable more than 20,000 Londoners and visitors to travel every weekday, bosses add. The clipper will be the UK's first fully electric zero-emission cross-river passenger ferry. It will launch in March 2025, and operate between London’s Canary Wharf on the north side of the Thames and Rotherhithe in the south. The vessel will cross the river every 10 minutes from each side on weekdays and every 15 minutes at weekends. The 150-passenger ferry, will have capacity for 100 bicycles, and features a roll-on/roll-off design that enables automated docking on both sides. This innovation enhances accessibility, reduces journey times, and increases capacity for both foot and cycle passengers, officials say. The clipper was designed by Aus Ships Group, and will measure 25.2 metres in overall length. It will also feature a moulded depth of 2.3 metres, the Royal Institution of Naval Architects writes. Sean Collins, co-founder and CEO of Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, said, “It’s a real British success story. All of our new boats are proudly built in the UK using the latest green technology at Wight Shipyard Co on the Isle of Wight. "This new vessel will launch within our 25th year of operation and it reaffirms our investment in both the local Isle of Wight economy and in London. “This zero-emission solution also comes after the recent launch of our third hybrid boat – Mars Clipper – into our main River Bus fleet and is the next step on our journey to advancing sustainable maritime technology. "The Thames is the lifeblood of our great capital and it’s our ambition to continue to push for further progression along the river - we’re calling upon London’s maritime businesses and government bodies to collaborate and ensure a greener future for all.”St. Petersburg council approves $23M repair to hurricane-ravaged Tropicana Field roof

The USS Zumwalt is at a Mississippi shipyard where workers have installed missile tubes that replace twin turrets from a gun system that was never activated because it was too expensive. Once the system is complete, the Zumwalt will provide a platform for conducting fast, precision strikes from greater distances, adding to the usefulness of the warship. “It was a costly blunder. But the Navy could take victory from the jaws of defeat here, and get some utility out of (the ships) by making them into a hypersonic platform,” said Bryan Clark, a defence analyst at the Hudson Institute. The US has had several types of hypersonic weapons in development for the past two decades, but recent tests by both Russia and China have added pressure to the US military to hasten their production. Hypersonic weapons travel beyond Mach 5, five times the speed of sound, with added manoeuvrability making them harder to shoot down. Last year, The Washington Post newspaper reported that among the documents leaked by former Massachusetts Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira was a defence department briefing that confirmed China had recently tested an intermediate-range hypersonic weapon called the DF-27. While the Pentagon had previously acknowledged the weapon’s development, it had not recognised its testing. One of the US programmes in development and planned for the Zumwalt is the Conventional Prompt Strike. It would launch like a ballistic missile and then release a hypersonic glide vehicle that would travel at speeds seven to eight times faster than the speed of sound before hitting the target. The weapon system is being developed jointly by the Navy and Army. Each of the three Zumwalt-class destroyers would be equipped with four missile tubes, each with three of the missiles for a total of 12 hypersonic weapons per ship. In choosing the Zumwalt, the Navy is attempting to add to the usefulness of a 7.5 billion US dollars (£5.9 billion) warship that is considered by critics to be an expensive mistake despite serving as a test platform for multiple innovations. The Zumwalt was envisioned as providing land-attack capability with an advanced gun system with rocket-assisted projectiles to open the way for Marines to charge ashore. But the system featuring 155mm guns hidden in stealthy turrets was cancelled because each of the rocket-assisted projectiles cost up to one million dollars (£790,000). Despite the stain on their reputation, the three Zumwalt-class destroyers: Zumwalt, Michael Monsoor and Lyndon B Johnson; remain the Navy’s most advanced surface warships in terms of new technologies. Those innovations include electric propulsion, an angular shape to minimise radar signature, an unconventional wave-piercing hull, automated fire and damage control and a composite deckhouse that hides radar and other sensors. The US is accelerating development because hypersonics have been identified as vital to US national security with “survivable and lethal capabilities”, said James Weber, principal director for hypersonics in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Critical Technologies. “Fielding new capabilities that are based on hypersonic technologies is a priority for the defence department to sustain and strengthen our integrated deterrence, and to build enduring advantages,” he said.Syria’s embassy in Lebanon suspends services as Lebanon hands over former Syrian army officersSamsung’s One UI has consistently pushed the boundaries of Android customization, and the latest iteration, One UI 7, is no exception. This time, Samsung is tackling app navigation head-on with a brand-new vertical scrolling app drawer. Forget the old days of swiping through pages of apps; One UI 7 lets you seamlessly scroll through your entire app library in one fluid motion. This seemingly simple change has the potential to significantly impact how Galaxy users interact with their devices. This article delves deep into the new vertical scrolling app drawer in One UI 7, exploring its functionality, benefits, and potential drawbacks. We’ll examine how this change aligns with broader trends in mobile user interface design and share our personal experiences with the updated navigation. Get ready to discover how this seemingly small tweak could revolutionize your app browsing experience. Scrolling into the Future: Reimagining App Navigation For years, Samsung users have navigated their app drawer by swiping horizontally through pages of apps. This approach, while familiar, can feel cumbersome and inefficient, especially for users with a large number of apps. One UI 7 addresses this issue by introducing a vertical scrolling app drawer, mirroring the design philosophy seen in many popular launchers and iOS. This shift towards vertical scrolling aligns with a growing trend in mobile UI design, prioritizing single-handed usability and intuitive navigation. With One UI 7, browsing your app library becomes akin to scrolling through your social media feed. This intuitive approach allows for quicker access to your apps, eliminating the need to swipe through multiple pages. Imagine searching for an app buried deep within your phone; with vertical scrolling, you can swiftly glide through your app list, locating your desired app in seconds. A Hands-On Experience: Smooth, Swift, and Surprisingly Intuitive Having spent some time with the One UI 7 beta, I can confidently say that the vertical scrolling app drawer is a welcome change. The transition from horizontal swiping to vertical scrolling feels surprisingly natural. The scrolling itself is buttery smooth, and the app icons are neatly organized, making it easy to locate the app you need. One of the most noticeable benefits is the speed at which you can now find and launch apps. No more endless swiping; just a quick scroll and tap, and you’re in. This enhanced efficiency is particularly beneficial when multitasking or when you need to access an app quickly. Beyond Scrolling: Enhanced Organization and Customization One UI 7 doesn’t just introduce vertical scrolling; it also brings enhancements to app organization and customization. You can still create folders to group similar apps, and the search bar remains readily available for those who prefer to type out the app name. Furthermore, you can customize the app drawer’s appearance, including icon size and grid layout, to suit your preferences. Samsung has also retained the ability to hide apps, a feature I frequently use to declutter my app drawer. This combination of vertical scrolling and robust customization options makes One UI 7’s app drawer a truly personalized and efficient experience. Addressing Potential Concerns: Muscle Memory and Folder Navigation While the vertical scrolling app drawer is a significant improvement, it’s worth considering potential drawbacks. For long-time Samsung users, the shift from horizontal swiping to vertical scrolling might require a brief adjustment period. Years of muscle memory might initially lead to accidental horizontal swipes. However, in my experience, the learning curve is minimal, and the intuitive nature of vertical scrolling quickly becomes second nature. Another potential concern is navigating folders within the app drawer. While accessing and scrolling through folders remains smooth, some users might find the nested vertical scrolling within folders slightly less intuitive than the previous horizontal paging. However, this is a minor issue that is easily overcome with a little practice. One UI 7: A Step Towards a More Intuitive Mobile Experience The introduction of vertical scrolling in One UI 7’s app drawer is more than just a cosmetic change; it represents Samsung’s commitment to refining the user experience. By embracing vertical scrolling, Samsung aligns with broader industry trends, prioritizing efficiency and single-handed usability. This change, coupled with enhanced customization options, makes One UI 7 a significant step towards a more intuitive and personalized mobile experience. While there might be a minor adjustment period for some users, the benefits of vertical scrolling far outweigh any initial hiccups. Looking Ahead: The Future of App Navigation As technology continues to evolve, so too will the way we interact with our devices. One UI 7’s vertical scrolling app drawer is a glimpse into the future of app navigation, where efficiency and intuitiveness reign supreme. We can expect to see further refinements and innovations in this area as smartphone manufacturers strive to create seamless and user-friendly experiences. Samsung’s bold move with One UI 7 sets a precedent for other Android manufacturers to follow. It will be interesting to see how this change influences the broader Android landscape and whether vertical scrolling becomes the new standard for app navigation. Embracing the Change: A Call to Action If you’re a Galaxy user eligible for the One UI 7 update, I encourage you to embrace the change and experience the benefits of vertical scrolling firsthand. While it might feel slightly unfamiliar at first, you’ll quickly appreciate the enhanced speed and efficiency it brings to your app navigation. One UI 7 is a testament to Samsung’s dedication to innovation and user satisfaction. By reimagining app navigation, Samsung has once again demonstrated its ability to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of Android customization.Demi Moore reveals which of her iconic 90s roles ‘scared the crap out of me’
