The fact that several results ended up being close also prove that all the talk about electoral fraud needs to stop. That the senate race in Georgia, a largely conservative state, produced a dead heat and will lead to a runoff proves the Democrats' resilience there. Mr Biden's Democratic Party won senate and gubernatorial races in key states such as Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania. I write in reference to Ellie Sennett's article 'A good day for democracy,' Biden says after Democrats defy expectations in midterms (November 10): the US midterms reaffirm that Joe Biden was indeed legitimately elected in the 2020 presidential election. Midterm results reaffirm Biden's 2020 win Zafar Ahmad Abdul Ghani, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Sure, we’ve all heard the phrase plenty of times, mostly coming out of a friend who had too much to drink at a very average party. Luckily, it's possible to benefit from the pros while avoiding the cons. The first steps towards restabilising Myanmar must be to ensure the security of all its people and to restore the citizenship of those who have been made homeless, including the Rohingya. We all know that technology is a double edged sword. Atrocities against the Rohingya continue and since the 2021 coup, the military has launched a number of attacks across the country, causing death and destruction to critical infrastructure. I write in reference to Sholto Byrnes' article The 'Asian century' is upon us, and Asean may well be its unsung hero (November 16): with US President Joe Biden attending summits in Asia, I request him – and Asean leaders – to intervene in Myanmar's political crisis without further delay. The climate crisis is daunting, as is the prospect of employment going forward. But does this bode well for the future of our species and the planet we live on? The Earth has finite resources that are being consumed at breakneck speed, and it is becoming less inhabitable every year. Rather than sharpening a single edge, they require sharpening both edges.I write in reference to Adla Massoud's article World's population hitting 8 billion not a 'doomsday scenario', UN official says (November 15): that the global population has reached such a high figure is, no doubt, an indicator of the progress humankind has made on a range of factors. Double-edged swords are also more difficult and time consuming to maintain. Unfortunately, this makes the sword more likely to break upon contact or stress. In a double-edged sword, both edges are sharpened to a fine point. This is because single-edged swords have a thicker, stronger side - the dull side - that stabilizes the sword. For starters, double-edged swords were more prone to breakage than their single-edged counterparts. Of course, there are also some downsides to using a double-edged sword. The Downsides to Using a Double-Edged Sword If an enemy attempted to grab a double-edged sword, he would likely sustain a serious cut. With both edges featuring razor-like sharpness, there's no safe edge to grab. This isn't possible with double-edged swords, however. With a single-edged sword, an enemy could potentially grab the dull edge of the blade.

Prevented Enemies From Grabbing the BladeĪ third benefit of the double-edged design is that it prevented a warrior's enemy from grabbing the blade. During the Middle Ages, European warriors would use perform thrusting attacks with double-edged swords to penetrate through their enemies' armor. However, this is more of a side benefit from the fact that double-edged swords are better for thrusting attacks. While possible with a single-edged sword, double-edged swords are more lethal for thrusting due to the presence of two edges.ĭouble-edged swords are also more effective at penetrating through armor than single-edged swords. In Europe, for example, swords like the gladius were forged with two edges instead of one so that warriors could use them to perform thrusting attacks. One reason why some swords are forged with two edges is because it allows for better thrusting attacks. So, why exactly do some swords have two edged instead of a single edge?

La radiacin es un arma de doble filo que ayuda a. Known as a double-edged sword, it features a completely different design than single-edged swords. Medical radiation is a double-edged sword that helps fight cancer, but can destroy healthy tissues as well.

But not all swords are forged with a single edge. With the katana, wakizashi and other traditional Japanese swords, only one side of the blade is sharpened to a razor-like edge The other side is left dull and flat. The edge, of course, refers to the sharp side of the sword's blade. Traditional Japanese swords like the katana and wakizashi are typically forged with a single edge.
