This is talking about Iran’s nuclear facilities may be deeply-buried in a “maze of tunnels” — making them hard to find and even harder to destroy. But the Pentagon is working on some new technological tricks for exactly this kind of mission. I think that this ca nuse a lot more information and less talking about other things.

This article is talking about I HAVE never seen anyone get so excited about cow dung as Eric Warrant. We are driving through the wide open landscape of the dusty Araluen valley in New South Wales, Australia, when he spies a herd of cows lumbering away from their roadside water trough. "This is perfect," he enthuses, veering his rusty pickup off the edge of the road. Also This was not what I expected when I set out to see this researcher's ground-breaking work developing a full-colour night-vision camera. The project, involving a close collaboration with Toyota, could one day give drivers an unprecedented view of the road ahead. Unlikely as it sounds, the project really did begin in a cowpat.
