- Hulls of Hexagons and Hope
Deep-Sea Exploration Submarine (Crushing Hydrostatic Pressure) The deepest point on Earth, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, exerts a crushing hydrostatic pressure of 16,000 pounds per square inch (psi)—enough to instantly implode standard metal submarines if their hulls develop even a microscopic hairline crack. * The Geometry of Inward Force: By arranging our 3D covalent hexagons into a double-walled, spherical submarine hull, we create the ultimate geometry for handling uniform compression. * Superelastic Failure Prevention: Under extreme oceanic pressure, standard titanium hulls cannot bend; they resist force rigidly until they reach their breaking point and experience catastrophic failure. Our buckyball-nanotube hull handles pressure through micro-scale elastic flexing. The vertical CNT pillars undergo tiny, uniform, coordinated buckling, and the $C_{60}$ nodes compress slightly to evenly distribute the ocean's crushing weight across the entire structure. * Impervious to Corrosion: Sea salt and moisture rapidly rust steel and degrade titanium. The outer Armor-Grade Titanium-Carbide coating is completely chemically inert in saltwater, ensuring the submarine can dive to the absolute bottom of the ocean thousands of times without suffering from micro-abrasions, stress corrosion, or structural fatigue.

- When Charity Turns to Heartbreak
It's was a mission of giving some food too the community, another hotdogs I the park, family fun day. I was happy talking too everyone.

When we left the Delmar water park I felt drained and not very happy about the day it self. I told myself that I saved one person and that was worth it. We went and unloaded all the equipment and went home. About 1am in the morning my phone rung and it's was the man I had met in the park. He said that he had found his wife and kids. And they needed a place too stay the night. It was against the rules too just bring them into my house with knowing them. I told him later in the morning I would help him with resources. He said okay and hung up the phone. At about 12:00 pm I received a call from my nephew Derrick and he said look at the pitcher I sent you.the color was off on my phone, and I could see a police car in front of a tree and then I could see something was hanging from the tree. I couldn't see it well, and I asked what is that. My nephew replied That's the man from yesterday, he had hanged himself, OMG-OMG my heart dropped. I felt so so responsible and a sadness still finds me at night- I can still see his face, and for sometime I couldn't go out too serve, for the first time I felt like quiting and still wish I had the ability too just get that day back I would do things different and he would still be here. It's with me as though it was yesterday I can still see his face.
