Mobile reconnaissance robots provide real-time video of environment

The Tactical Throwing Sensor (TTS) is designed to be thrown through a window or a doorway.

The robot's movement is controlled by the Control Display System (CDS) providing a good view of the environment before teams are sent into the area.

Tested to meet stringent MIL STD-810G environmental standards, the TTS stands up to rough handling and operates up to a range of 150m from the CDS.

The complete system comprises the sensor robot and the CDS, and is highly portable and easy to deploy for any operation.

The Forward Sensor System (FSS) is equipped with powerful motors and heavy-duty wheels to navigate quietly through difficult terrains and provide critical real-time video reconnaissance.

Optimised for mobility, speed and power, the FSS is specially built to operate in a variety of outdoor environments, including dirt-filled, sandy or rocky terrains.

The lightweight FSS can be carried around easily and deployed within seconds. Upon deployment, the FSS moves quickly to areas of interest to carry out covert surveillance.

Philippines Braces for Powerful Typhoon

Typhoon Hagupit has slammed into the eastern Philippines, where more than 650,000 people have fled to safety.

The country's weather agency says the typhoon, packing maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers (109 miles) per hour and gusts of 210 kph (130 mph), made landfall late Saturday in Dolores town in central Eastern Samar province.

Hagupit's winds and pounding rain knocked out power and toppled trees in Dolores and other eastern coastal towns hours before it barreled inland in a region still haunted by the massive death and destruction wrought by Typhoon Haiyan in November last year.

The Philippines' 120,000-strong military has gone on full alert to respond to a possible catastrophe.

A movie of weather over Europe during November 2014.

Many countries in Europe reported unusually mild weather in November - with a surprising lack of frost for late autumn. There were several episodes of severe weather and extreme rainfall, however.

Northern Italy and Switzerland had severe flooding in places, as well as landslides, after episodes of torrential rain from 4-12 November (case study: http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/...)
Jutland, in Denmark, had a notable downpour on November 3; there was extreme rainfall in east Tirol and upper Carinthia in Austria early in the month;
The coast of southern France in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur had episodes of extremely heavy rain from 8 to 12 November and again on 14 and 15 November;
One storm in Courelinhas county in Portugal brought a suspected tornado; while the Phoenix Park weather station in Dublin had its wettest November day since 2002 on 13 November, part of a month where it received double the long-term average rain.

There were also episodes of fog and low cloud, which caused delays at airports because of low visibility, and some countries got their first snow as meteorological autumn officially drew to a close.

The 'Natural Colour RGB' images used in the movie are taken from EUMETSAT's Meteosat-10 satellite in geostationary orbit 36,000 km above the Earth. The Natural Colour RGB product makes use of three solar channels: VIS0.6, VIS0.8 and NIR1.6. In this colour scheme vegetation appears greenish because of its large reflectance in the VIS0.8 channel (the green beam) compared to the NIR1.6 (red beam) and VIS0.6 (blue beam) channels.

Water clouds with small droplets have large reflectance at all three channels and hence appear whitish, while snow and ice clouds appears cyan because ice strongly absorbs in NIR1.6 (no red).

Bare ground appears brown because of the larger reflectance in the NIR1.6 than at VIS0.6, and the ocean appears black because of the low reflectance in all three channels.

Intense Gun Battles In Russia After Chechen Terror Attack

Islamic jihadists entered Grozny, the capital of Chechnya,  and killed three police officers at a traffic control point. They then occupied a ten story building and a nearby svchool at the city’s center.   Six of the gunmen were killed by security officers inside the building, which was gutted by fire that spread to a nearby market, it said.

Ten police officers were killed and 28 more were wounded. at least nine insurgents were killed in the fighting. 

Rumors have swirled that the attackers were linked to the Islamic State death cult, after Chechen ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria threatened Russia as the next target. ~Will

Ariana Grande seemed to have the time of her life recording the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday night…except for when she was pummeled by a model’s wings.

As Elsa Hosk strutted down the runway with the giant wings attached to her back, she almost didn’t make way for Ariana, who was performing alongside her onstage. Lucky for our favorite “Santa Tell Me” singer, she’s totally cool with it. She even created a hashtag for the whole situation.

You got to admit, though: the picture is priceless.

Oof! That was a close one. Here they are seconds before:

Aaaaaand again, just for good measure.

Apparently, this wasn’t the first time Ari was hit with the angelic extremities. During rehearsals, she admitted that it happened because her mind was elsewhere.

Supermodels, million-dollar bras, rhinestones and glitter galore - it can only be a Victoria's Secret catwalk show

The US lingerie label brought its annual spectacle to London for the first time on Tuesday, dazzling guests with a high-octane mix of fashion and entertainment that featured 47 extravagantly dressed models and performances by Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Ed Sheeran.
Models sashayed down the catwalk wearing lingerie paired with extravagant costumes that included giant butterfly wings, feather skirts, and gold knee-high stiletto boots.
Top models Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio donned the brand's "fantasy bras" - encrusted with thousands of jewels and worth $2 million (£1.27m) each - and Karlie Kloss wore gilded angel wings made of 18 carat gold.
Unlike most mainstream fashion shows, models walking for the lingerie label are told to have fun and flirt with the audience.
The models got to wink, dance and laugh onstage with Swift, who appeared in a glamorous pink and black lace outfit. The singer later changed into a racy black lingerie set worn with a matching lace cape.

2 December 2014 ~ Following a big solidarity protest to anarchist Nikos Romanos, where 8.000-10.000 people took part in Athens last night, fierce riots broke out in the "Exarchia" area of Athens, while Romano's health is in a critical condition (22 days on hunger strike) and the greek government pretends he does not exist.

3 other anarchists are also on hunger strike in solidarity to Nikos Romanos.

Nikos Romanos is demanding to be able to make use of educational leaves to attend university classes, while by studying in prison he has succeeded in the admission exams. Any other prison inmate is entitled to university prison leaves that Romanos is denied, because of his anarchist political beliefs. The greek State also punishes him because of his defiant stance in denying to attend an award ceremony, where the greek Minister of Justice handed awards to prison inmates that succeeded in the university entrance exams.

Nikos is currently in Athens general hospital Gennimatas, under a strong custody of the police. Physician Pantelia (Lina) Vergopoulou, who visited him on 28/11, reports that the comrade remains in a critical condition with life-threatening complications.

Anarchist prisoner Yannis Michailidis is also on hunger strike since November 17, 2014, as a form of solidarity to the struggle of Nikos Romanos. Several days ago, Yannis Michailidis also needed to be hospitalized, after he was diagnosed with bradycardia. Yannis is currently in Piraeus general hospital Tzaneio, also under the strong custody of the police.

Politis and Mpourzoukos are also on hunger strike since December 1.
