Oldenburg made the binoculars incredible when he sent me the first model of the real proposal.

The estimate for special equipment provides for the purchase of binoculars and night vision observation devices.

I had the binoculars from Claes, and I put them there, and I could never get rid of them after that.

And I still think the Time magazine picture will be of the binoculars, you know, leaving out the what the hell.

Surprisingly, however, the most urgent requirement projected in the field was for such basic equipment as binoculars, prismatic compasses and radio communication.

The unspent balance of 382,600 under this heading is attributable to the acquisition of fewer binoculars, hand held night vision observation devices and laser range finders than budgeted.

The FFM had at its disposal seven OSCE all terrain vehicles with drivers, binoculars, a digital tape recorder, still and video cameras and three tri lingual interpreters (Armenian, Russian, English).

A large number of items are automatically earmarked for write off although they were recently acquired these are, for example, office furniture, safes, mattresses, televisions, video recorders, binoculars and night vision devices.

The variance under this heading is attributable to the lower actual cost of 21 binoculars (12 replacement and 9 additional) for the civilian police personnel owing to favourable prices obtained on the market.

Soon we will be in a position to go forth in the field with sequencers on our backs to hunt bacteria in tiny crevices of the habitat's surface in the way you go watching for birds with binoculars.

Our homes and our cities are just a few kilometers from each other, our fields brush up against theirs. The men of Gaza, the activists or policemen of Hamas whom we observe through our military binoculars, were in the past the activists and policemen of Fatah.

In this case, many steps could easily have been taken to differentiate MH17 from a military transport plane, including visual identification (perhaps with binoculars), radar signature analysis, and a check of the civilian aircraft transponder code broadcast. If, as seems likely, these basic steps were not taken, even an accidental strike on MH17 would constitute a war crime.

But the point is that when I was first in Gombe in 1960 I remember so well, so vividly, as though it was yesterday the first time, when I was going through the vegetation, the chimpanzees were still running away from me, for the most part, although some were a little bit acclimatized and I saw this dark shape, hunched over a termite mound, and I peered with my binoculars.
