Sruli Recht, the Reyjavik-based industrial designer with a penchant for the unusual, may have topped himself. His ATOR scarf, made of spider silk, was created with the help of both a spider and a goat:

"Our knit originates from the silk gland DNA of a spider, carefully placed in the milk ducts of a goat. A single filament is reeled out of the goat millimetres at a time to produce the most unobtainable fibre in the world."

"It takes several weeks to hand-loom the filament into this fabric quality, a further week gently coaxing the textile into the knotted web of this ghostly veil. [The scarf is] is woven, its proteins color treated with hot acid, then cured. After cutting it is twisted into a Möbius strip, and a flat felled seam is backstitched by hand with lengths of the same yarn, a holistic approach just short of felting, closing the loop."

"The edges are folded and pressed with agonizing slowness, before being bound with a Japanese thermally activated tape, a frosted, almost invisible finish."

"ATOR is made from one of the rarest multi-hyphenated materials in the world – genetically engineered spider-goat silk filament, hand-loomed, hand-dyed, hand-stitched, and hand-bound."

Considering that Recht could only get enough material to produce three of these, the €2,200 (USD $2,337) price doesn't seem that high.

Today Otherlab, a sort of incubator/skunkworks, unveiled this aluminum-framed Lightfoot scooter.

It's got a 48-volt, 1.1kWh battery that provides up to 37 miles (60 km) of range, and which can be charged at a standard wall socket. But as you've undoubtedly noticed, the scooter has rather a lot of solar panels. Otherlab says you can use the sun to get up to 18 miles (28 km) of additional range. "Each hour of sunbathing recharges Lightfoot with 3 miles of solar-powered freedom," the firm writes.

I can't imagine why they've not photographed this, but the Lightfoot reportedly sports a lockable storage compartment that can hold "more than 1.5 cubic feet (45.2 liters)–comparable in size to a carry-on suitcase," Otherlab writes. "This compartment can comfortably fit up to 33 lbs. (15kg) of cargo, enough space for three large grocery bags, a work bag, a helmet or anything else you need to stash on your travels. Its weatherproof design and sturdy lock protect your stuff from prying eyes and the elements, ensuring your belongings arrive as safely as you do."

The Lightfoot is retailing for $4,995, and is expected to ship in January.

China’s latest fiscal announcements seem aimed at addressing medium-term structural impediments to economic growth from strained local government finances, but are unlikely to immediately boost or offset deflationary risk, Fitch Ratings said. It expects a budget deficit of 7.1 per cent of GDP this year. It believes fiscal stimulus will remain incremental and responsive to downside risks.
