The violetears are hummingbirds of the genus ''Colibri''. They are medium to large species found in Mexico, and Central and northern South America.

Three of the four species have a mainly green plumage Plumage ( "feather") is a layer of feathers that covers a bird and the pattern, colour, and arrangement of those feathers.

Estadio Nido Del Colibri
The Estadio Nido del Colibri (English: ''Hummingbird's Nest Stadium'') was a planned multi-use stadium in Cuernavaca, Mexico. It was originally intended to be used as the home stadium of Colibríes de Morelos, a short-lived football team in Mexico. The stadium was to have a capacity of 35,000 and 112 box seats. Origins In December 2002, it was announced that the team of Celaya would relocate to Cuernavaca in the state of Morelos to form Colibries de Morelos, owned by Jorge Rodriguez Marié.

Lisp Machine
Lisp machines are general-purpose computers designed to efficiently run Lisp as their main software and programming language, usually via hardware support. They are an example of a high-level language computer architecture, and in a sense, they were the first commercial single-user workstations. Despite being modest in number (perhaps 7,000 units total as of 1988) Lisp machines commercially pioneered many now-commonplace technologies, including effective garbage collection, laser printing, windowing systems, computer mice, high-resolution bit-mapped raster graphics, computer graphic rendering, and networking innovations such as Chaosnet. Several firms built and sold Lisp machines in the 1980s: Symbolics (3600, 3640, XL1200, MacIvory, and other models), Lisp Machines Incorporated (LMI Lambda), Texas Instruments ( Explorer, MicroExplorer), and Xerox (Interlisp-D workstations). The operating systems were written in Lisp Machine Lisp, Interlisp (Xerox), and later partly in Common ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

IMA Colibri
The 'Colibri' is a one-person light electric vehicle developed by Innovative Mobility Automobile in Jena, Germany. Vehicle concept The Colibri's development stems from three general facts of current mobility behavior: the majority of people use individual transportation and on average cars are occupied by less than two people and travel daily distances of less than 55 kilometers (34 miles). Distinct features of the Colibri are the frame made of magnesium, which is considerably lighter than comparable construction types, and an electrically powered seat which is designed to increase the driver's comfort when entering or exiting the vehicle. Five other industrial companies and a university are involved in the development. R & D is subsidized by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In 2012 the prototype was being built, while serial production was scheduled to start in 2014. 2013 World Premiere in Geneva After successful completion of the prototype phase, ...
