We thought it would be cool if you could exchange the clothes that you were bored of (old-to-you) for new ones (new-to-you). That’s really it: out with old-to-you, in with new-to-you. Then we got all fancy with being a “personal shopper” and “a refresh button” and “starting a closet revolution”.
This is the moment a tiny but very angry kingbird hitched a piggyback ride on a red tail hawk.
The feisty little flyer began attacking the bird of prey after it ventured too near its nest.
Pat Gaines, 41, captured the moment at Bonny Lake park in Colorado.
'I've never seen a hawk harassed so much. The kingbird pecked at its head as the hawk flew away screaming,' she said.
The Pentagon is looking to put an unblinking eye in the sky.U.S. plans to deploy an unmanned surveillance airship to Afghanistan are moving forward, with a contract for the Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV) demonstration expected to be awarded by year-end.Click the picture to read the article.
Designed to stay aloft for three weeks carrying a heavy payload of wide-area sensors, the airship is becoming a flagship for Defense Dept. efforts to provide unblinking airborne surveillance to defeat the threat from roadside bombs.
The LEMV is required to stay aloft at 20,000 ft. for 21 days carrying a 2,500-lb. payload, a combination of either a multi-camera wide-area airborne surveillance (WAAS) sensor or a ground moving-target indication (GMTI) radar plus a signals-intelligence system and multiple electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors.
Lockheed Martin’s design is a 250-ft.-long hybrid airship, which derives 80% of its lift from helium buoyancy and the rest from aerodynamics so it can be launched and recovered without the traditional airship ground infrastructure. The vehicle will be optionally piloted: manned for self-deployment and unmanned for surveillance missions.
