ADF robot planes

"This is the first deployment of an unmanned aerial vehicle
on operations by the Australian Defence Force,"
"The Aerosonde is an excellent surveillance and monitoring tool. The stealthy
aircraft is difficult to observe at short range, able to monitor areas with
minimal disturbance to wildlife, and equipped to conduct clandestine
operations, monitoring for illegal activities."

Any truth to the rumours of a hasty departure
from a teaching position at a boys school?

Do we need rightist fags running the shop?

especially on the abdomen, and enhancing muscle growth..enhancing insulin
sensitivity so that fatty acids and glucose can pass through muscle cell

Increase no-till farming practices across the planet or face serious climate,
soil quality and food production problems in the next 20 to 50 years.
..warning ..journal Science this week.

No-till farming helps soil retain carbon. Healthy topsoil contains carbon-enriched humus
.. Soils low in humus can’t maintain the carbon-dependent nutrients essential to healthy
crop ..need to use more fertilizers.

..Soil loses most of it carbon during plowing, which releases carbon dioxide gas
.. 78 billion tons of carbon once trapped in the soil have been lost to the atmosphere
.. no-till farming .. on only 5 % of all the world.. ..in the USA.. on 37 % 15Apr04
