Doesn’t promise no shutdowns after that, but at least we’ll get through Thanksgiving this time. But it wasn’t an easy path.

Upper body strength is not just about looking muscular in a T shirt. It affects how well you can push, pull, carry, hang, and control your own bodyweight. It also makes everyday tasks easier, from lifting luggage into an overhead compartment to moving furniture or carrying heavy shopping bags.

Real upper body strength involves pressing power, pulling ability, muscular endurance, grip strength, and the ability to stabilize…

AREA-1 ALTIUS-600 drones have been launched and are controlling drones in mid-air from host aircraft during trials by Leonardo. (US Army)While much attention has focused on the long-term development of unmanned Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), Air Launched Effects (ALE) technology from rotorcraft is advancing faster. ALEs will require an intuitive interface to reduce cognitive overload, effectively command and control heterogeneous ALE teams, maintain a common operating picture with rapidly changing situational awareness data, and manage various levels of autonomy.Command and control of multiple drones, or teams of drones, from crewed platforms is a relatively new domain of military research that will…
