Oh he is such a gorgeous little boy and so dinky. I love Jack Russells so much, but I am not a fan of dogs used for bomb detection. I understand why they use dogs for this purpose, I just wish that we had better technology and more available for bomb detection. Boston Dynamics are one of the leading companies in new technologies for dangerous jobs with the renowned yellow doglike robot and the two legged upright humanoid robots. Ideal for dangerous missions, it would be good if these robots were fitted with sensors that were powerful enough to detect explosives and other things such as chemicals used in bomb manufacturing. That would be a real game changer however I suspect the cost to mass produce these would be prohibitive. The use of drones small enough to get up close would be an advantage to get video footage to assist in the process and for later debriefing. 

Conscription in Australia, spirit message

Reading some astrological stuff online and I hear February 2029 Australia will bring back conscription. I just hope that I am wrong on this...
