Conseil en communication pour SDF ! La publicité est un cadeau que souvent seul les entreprises fortunées peuvent s’offrir ! C’est en partant de ce constat, et peut-être pour casser leur image, que l’agence de publicité Ogilvy paris a eu l’idée de « collaborer » avec les SDF de la capitale afin de les aider à attirer l’attention et bien sur et surtout dans le but d’attirer l’aide et la sympathie des passants ! Idée horrible ou idée de génie, à vous de voir… SYNOPSIS : There are estimated 3000 people living on the streets of paris. Lots of advertising agencies work for homeless associations but none of them has ever worked directly for the homeless. Via

Quadshot Transition Robotics offers several versions of kit setups of the Quadshot; The Mocha, The Latte, The Cappuccino, The Expresso, and The Kopi Luwak. The kit that we're reviewing is The Mocha, and the brains of this EPO foam flyer is called the Lisa/M v2.0 autopilot board which is compatible with Paparazzi UAV project software. Lisa/M is built around the 72MHz 64-pin STM32F105RCT6 processor, which features 64k of RAM and 256k of FLASH. Be sure to check out the Quadshot website for more details! Navigation and communication LEDs are setup throughout the Quadshot. The fins on the Quadshot snap into position and offer a 'breaking' point in the case of a crash landing, allowing the fin to snap out instead of breaking the foam wing. We realized immediately that this multitrotor needs space. We were able to hover it and transition into forward flight indoors but it was a challenge to say the least. Transitioning between flight styles is easy to do with the flip of a switch on the radio.

U.S. Military Joins CIA’s Drone War in Pakistan | Danger Room | Wired.com - The headquarters for the American military’s air war in Central Asia and the Middle East is located in a converted medical warehouse on an undisclosed base in a country the U.S. Air Force would rather not name. The lights are turned down low, so the troops can clearly see the giant screen at the far end of the in this cavernous, classified facility. On that glowing screen is a digital map of Afghanistan, showing the position of every U.S. Over the past year and a half, the United States has stepped up drone strikes against militants in Pakistan — killing as many as a thousand people, by some estimates. But the U.S. U.S. military drones began flying over Pakistan soon after the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. Today, those missions have become a regular occurrence. These missions are remotely flown by U.S. In addition, some of the Predators and Reapers are placed under the operational control of the CIA, which uses them to conduct their own strike and surveillance missions.

Northrop Grumman Bat UAV The Bat, formerly known as the KillerBee, is a low altitude and long endurance unmanned air vehicle (UAV) system. It was designed and developed jointly by Northrop Grumman and Swift Engineering to meet the requirements of the US Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy and the Department of Homeland Security. The Bat can perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations over a large area. Its huge capacity provides space for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) payloads and systems. The Bat aircraft, launched from an AAI Shadow unmanned aerial system (UAS) launcher, does not require a runway and can be retrieved through nets. The UAV completed its maiden flight on 25 February 2010. Bat UAV variants The Bat has two variants – Bat-10 and Bat-12. Bat unmanned air vehicle design "The Bat can undertake surveillance and reconnaissance operations flying at a maximum speed of 201km/h."

Tres bon film complet en VF Exam LED Tattoos Charlie Sorrel has an article at Wired exploring the potential development of LED-lit tattoos. New chips are small enough to be placed under the skin, mounted on a sheet of silk that dissolves into the body: New LED tattoos from the University of Pennsylvania could make the Illustrated Man real (minus the creepy stories, of course). The electronics company Philips is developing the idea, and you can see a concept video of their work at the link.
