Carpet Bombing [Video]

Carpet bombing is a large aerial bombing done in a progressive manner to inflict damage in every part of a selected area of land. The phrase evokes the image of explosions completely covering an area, in the same way that a carpet covers a floor. Carpet bombing is usually achieved by dropping many unguided bombs.

Here is a video of of A-26 Invader Carpet Bomb showcased at Randolph Air Force Base in an Air Show in San Antonio, Texas (USA) in 2009.

Oscar - The Luckiest Dog

Meet Oscar "Phileas Fogg" Lefson, a dog we consider to be the luckiest one. Most dogs would be content to go for a little run around on a playing field fetching large sticks, or just nip down to the nearest off-license with their owner to get the day's newspaper and a pint of milk.

But Oscar is one of the luckier ones. This year, Oscar has visited 29 countries in continents, and visited the world's great sights such as the Taj Mahal, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Great Wall of China and the Eiffel Tower. He visited seven African nations, including Zimbabwe and Egypt, European nations such as France, Italy, Romania, Croatia and Russia, took in places such as India, China and Cambodia, visited several US states and traveled around central and south America.

Accompanying him was his South African/British owner Joanne Lefson.

Joanne rescued Oscar from a South African kennels five years ago. In May the pair began an epic journey hoping to inspire millions to help save his fellow canines living as strays on the streets.

On their worldwide travels, Joanne and Oscar also handed out 15,000 dog leads to needy hounds donated by the parcel company UPS.

At each location, Oscar, who seemed to have the time of his life, proudly had his photo taken.

List of countries Oscar visited:

May - South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Egypt
June - Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Italy
July - Switzerland, France, Russia
August - India (a month in India)

Chimpanzee befriends baby Tigers

THIS cute chimpanzee isn't just a primate - she is this baby tiger's BEST mate. Loving Anjana cradles the white tiger cub after acting as surrogate mother to him and his twin brother.

And the two-year-old chimpanzee clearly isn't monkeying around, she has also raised LEOPARDS and LIONS. Anjana has been helping zoo keeper China York look after 23-day-old cubs at TIGERS (The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species) in South Carolina, US. White tigers can grow to nearly 660lbs and when they do, Anjana will no longer be just a cub sandwich - she could end up as a portion of chimps.

The chimp took on the crucial surrogate role after the youngsters were separated from their mother. She turned aggressive after being spooked when hurricane Hannah ripped through the institute.

The institute has 45 big cats, including white-and-red-striped golden tabby tigers - one of the rarest big cat breeds. There are also bears, other primates and an African elephant.

Hoover Dam - USA

Hoover Dam, also sometimes known as “Boulder Dam”, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. When completed in 1935, it was both the world's largest electric-power generating station and the world's largest concrete structure. It was surpassed in both these respects by the Grand Coulee Dam in 1945. It is currently the world's 35th-largest hydroelectric generating station. This dam, located 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, is named after Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction, first as the Secretary of Commerce and then later as the President of the United States. Construction began in 1931 and was completed in 1935, more than two years ahead of schedule. The dam and the power plant are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, Hoover Dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985. Lake Mead is the reservoir created behind the dam, named after Elwood Mead, who oversaw the construction of the dam.
