meanwhile who wants to shoot something? "Clearly hunting, for fairly obvious reasons, has some high risks attached to it. But if it can be done safely that's what we're now assessing, and that will be finished as we come into early next week." The Government has been lobbied to allow hunting by the New Zealand Deerstalkers' Association, which in a statement said hunting was relatively "safe" when compared to the number of injuries caused by mountain biking, which would be permitted. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/121087930/coronavirus-ban-on-hun

in this case presumably they were presumably packed with gear to aid pick-up by the ship; vhf, epirb, food+water, flares? In the Life Raft Bay at Base Ohakea, a team of specialists look after the AirForces life saving equipment and package the 10 seater liferafts that plummet from aircraft to boats in distress. Whenever CPL Dan Peters and his three person team hear of another No.5 Squadron Search and Rescue, they wonder if their teams SRA has saved lives. The Air Forces No.5 Squadron Parachute drops SRAs to seafarers or downed Aircraft when the vessel is in danger of sinking and lacks a su

very cool New Scientist reported this week that birds carrying radar sensors have been used in the Indian Ocean to spy on fishing boats, with more than a quarter of vessels there found to be operating illegally. The sensors (strapped) detect radar signals from fishing ships, and then log them against location and time data. That data is then cross-checked against AIS (Automatic Identification System) records. AIS data effectively declares where a ship is at all times, and illegal fishers often turn their AIS system off to avoid detection - if an AIS record isn't available for a radar det
