Billions of dollars spent on defeating improvised explosive devices (IED) are beginning to show what technology can and cannot do for the evolving struggle.
Two platoons of U.S. Army scouts are in a field deep in the notorious “Triangle of Death” south of Baghdad, a region of countless clashes between Sunni insurgents and Shia militias. The platoons are guided by a local man who’s warned them of pressure-plate improvised explosive devices, designed to explode when stepped on. He has assured them that he knows where the IED’s are, which means he is almost certainly a former Sunni insurgent.
The platoons come under harassing fire. It stops, but later the tension mounts again as they maneuver near an abandoned house known to shelter al-Qaeda fighters. A shot rings out; the scouts take cover. They don’t realize it’s just their local guide, with an itchy trigger finger, taking the potshot at the house. The lieutenant leading the patrol summons three riflemen to cover the abandoned house.
Then all hell breaks loose. One of the riflemen, a sergeant, steps on a pressure-plate IED. The blast badly injures him, the two other riflemen, and the lieutenant. A Navy explosives specialist along on the mission immediately springs into action, using classified gear to comb the area for more bombs. Until he gives the all clear, no one can move, not even to tend the bleeding men. Meanwhile, one of the frozen-inspace scouts notices another IED right next to him and gives a shout, provoking more combing in his area. Then a big area has to be cleared so that the medevac helicopter already on the way can land.
That incident, which took place on 7 November 2007, exhibits many of the hallmarks of the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan – a small patrol; a local man of dubious background; Navy specialists working with soldiers on dry land; and costly technologies pressed into service against cheap and crude weapons. And, most of all, death by IED.

The region described in the passage…
Zürich is the engine of the Swiss economy. Despite having all the conveniences and daily activities of a metropolis, Zürich has been able to preserve the charm of a small town. Yet every day, more than 300,000 commuters, visitors, tourists and business travelers come to this ‘small town’ through Zürich Central Train Station – and that number has been rising steadily. To meet the increasing demand, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) together with the Canton of Zürich is expanding the station.
According to the passage …
Built in the mid-1960s, the Riverside Drive Parking Deck in Elgin, Illinois, is quite large. Approximately 1,000-ft (300-m) long by 60-ft (18-m) wide – and nearly all of it over the Fox River – the deck is built on hundreds of ‘piles’, large concrete cylinders pushed down into the muddy river bottom. Pre-cast elements in the piles used high-tensile steel wire for reinforcement, and that steel is now rusting. A trail-sized piece of the deck has even fallen into the river causing concern to local authorities.
About the Riverside Drive Parking Deck, what can NOT be concluded?

Almost invariably, a new baby’s photo album begins with a grainy black-and-white picture taken months before birth — a prenatal ultrasound image, which is often detailed enough to inspire comments about the child’s resemblance to very members of the family.

Although technology has benefit agriculture in a number of ways, there are some things that growers still do the old-fashioned way. Among them is putting their hands and other measuring devices in the dirt and judging, based on how moist the soil is, whether their crops need water and how much should be added.
