It seems the MAB (Marco Antonio Barrera)-JMM (Juan Miguel Marquez) fight is now on. It will likely turn into another fight between 2 “Power Puff Punchers”: 2 boxers hitting each other w/ a lot of punches, but nobody ever gets knocked down, or knocked out.
Just like those chinese Kung Fu movies of previous [...]
‘Blogging’
When I started posting on message boards a couple of years ago, I realized that it would be a good idea to keep some of my essays for future reference in the internet. One way of doing so, would be to maintain a website.

Some of the similarities are, like, for example:
- An elderly man got killed & branded at the start of the novel;
- The murdered man has [...]
I am trying to outline a UAV, that will have the following characteristics:
- It should have as minimum no. of elements as possible;
- It should be as cost effective as possible;
Types of UAVs

Continued bombings will likely have a significant dent [...]
