(•) – The-Lockheed-Martin-HC-130-P-Hercules-The-Combat-K.I.N.G-1-I-is an extended-range version of the C-130 Hercules transport. HC-130 crews provide expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery capabilities to our Combatant Commanders and Joint/Coalitions partners worldwide.
Mission
The mission of the HC-130P/N "King" is to rapidly deploy to austere airfields and denied territory in order to execute , all weather personnel recovery operations anytime...anywhere. King crews routinely perform high and low altitude personnel & equipment airdrops, infiltration/exfiltration of personnel, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area refueling point missions.
When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, casualty evacuation, noncombatant evacuation operations, and, during the Space Shuttle program, space flight support for NASA.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130P/N are improved navigation, threat detection and countermeasures systems. The aircraft fleet has a fully-integrated inertial navigation and global positioning systems, and night vision goggle, or NVG, compatible interior and exterior lighting. It also has forward-looking infrared, radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers, satellite and data-burst communications.
The HC-130 can fly in the day; however, crews normally fly night at low to medium altitude levels in contested or sensitive environments, both over land or overwater. Crews use NVGs for tactical flight profiles to avoid detection to accomplish covert infiltration/exfiltration and transload operations. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications, and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Drop zone objectives are done via personnel drops and equipment drops. Rescue bundles include illumination flares, marker smokes and rescue kits. Helicopter air-to-air refueling can be conducted at night, with blacked out communication with up to two simultaneous helicopters. Additionally, forward area refueling point operations can be executed to support a variety of joint and coalition partners.
Background
The HC-130P/N is the only dedicated fixed-wing combat search and rescue platform in the Air Force inventory. The 71st and 79th Rescue Squadrons in Air Combat Command, the 550th Special Operations Squadron in Air Education and Training Command, the 920th Rescue Group in Air Force Reserve Command and the 106th Rescue Wing, 129th RQW and 176th Wing in the Air National Guard operate the aircraft.
First flown in 1964, the aircraft has served many roles and missions. It was initially modified to conduct search and rescue missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range and increasing loiter time during search operations.
In April 2006, the continental U.S. search and rescue mission was transferred back to Air Combat Command at Langley AFB, Va. From 2003 to 2006, the mission was under the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Previously, HC-130s were assigned to ACC from 1992 to 2003. They were first assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command.
They have been deployed to Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey in support of operations Southern and Northern Watch, Allied Force, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. HC-130s also support continuous alert commitments in Alaska and the Horn of Africa.

YOUTH FOR EQUALITY, JNU CHAPTER.
27.10.06 .
The SF1never bothered to answer the questions raised by our pamphlet dated ?5.1 0.06. We want to a'5k the same questions including their view on CREAMY LAYER and whether they support CASTE???? .
lication in practice. \\'hich has hc~..:n.
lt seemed that the disnstrous effect of the J\tfarxist Theory and its ~lpppromoting caste. is no" hL'coming ~\'ident. Their nrgumentati\'e tactics is hased on falsehood and rr·opag~rH.Ja..\t the outset thl'y counted upon the stupidity of their opronents: hut\\ hen they got so entangled that they got could not find a way out they played the trick of acting as innocent simrletons. Should they faiL in spite of their tricks of logic. they acted as if they could not understand the counter arguments and bolted away to another field of discussion. They '' oula by do''n truisms and platitudes; and, if you accepted these, then they were applied to other .
problems and matters of an essentially different nature from the original theme. If you faced them with this point .--· they would escape again. and you could not bring them to make any precise statement. \Vhenever one tried to get a .
firm grip on any of these apostles, one's hand grasped only jelly and slime which slipped through the fingers and combined again into a solid mass a moment afterwards. If your adversary felt forced to give in to your argument, on accow1t of the observers present, and if you then thought that at last you had gained ground, a surprise was in store for you on the following day. Should you become indignant and remind them of yesterday's defeat, they pretended astonishment and could not remember anything, except that on the previous day they had proved that their statements were correct. They are very tactful in the abundance of their verbiage or the artful way in which they mask their false-hoods. These all mean that they are one of those whose only consistency is their inconsistency. .
associated with overbearing insolence and oftentimes an artful mendacity developed to a shan1elessly high degree. .
Surprisingly the communists are talking about MCM (Merit-cum-Means), whose fundamental remains.
.:.."··:·.. -.
\\'ithin the ambit of Merit and Econor,1ic (Jv1eans). for which the Youth for Equality has been formed ru1d .
'', especiaHy ·when they called it a.
advocating since its inception. But why the communists worried about "Meritbogus concept and should be thrown out and "other parameters'' should be given consideration??? Why .
-. .
they .are tal.king about Means (Economic consideration), especially when they have ~dopted, with much .
..--: ·, .
happiness, "caste" as their ideology???? Where were these communists, when we were sitting on 34 day long .
hunger strike only to promote these above causes????? .
;r-·o .
Let's have a look at the MCM affair. The university grants Rs. 35 lakh p/a only for MCM, but for the .
-. present Rs. 900 hundred p/m MCM the university spend Rs.80 la.kh p/a. So the university is diverting funds from other sources to MCM every year to meet the demand. Now if it extended to the entire M.Phil!Ph.D students the ,.~. requirement may raise to Rs. 1.8 crore p/a (approximately). Then with the absence of UGC grant, which is not coming, the university required more diversion of funds from other necessary projects. If it rises to Rs.l5,00 p/m for M.Phil/Ph.D, then the university required Rs. 6-7 crore p/a (approximately). This scheme of Rs.l5,00 p/m to .
1 r~l) ··~, ;, .
M.Phil/Ph.D. may not be implemented considering the fact that it requires 100% grant from the UGC (as per the agreement signed by the JNUSU and JNU Administration), and the UGC is in no mood to give its approval. So the onus is with the UGC. Contrary to this fact the left parties organized strikes in front ofthe JNU Administration for more than a week and made a 30 minute demonstration at the UGC. The Youth For Equality has filed an Right to Information Act,(2005) at the JNU Administration to seek details of the election eve demand of the left parties during the last 10 years and its fulfillment, if any, and expecting shortly its answer. But the question remained, ly during the eve of election for strike, demonstration and propaganda????.
why the left parties found time on'.
What about the rest 11 long months of the academic session???? Why the);· are so worried and spend .
sleepless night for students (mostly newcomers) only during the tnonth of September?'??? Do they believe in .
God and astrology so the September is very auspicious for them????? .

This birdhouse didn't have any birds in it yet. I would have liked a little head sticking out of the hole. I used f8 to get everything in focus on a couple of other pictures and settled on this one taken with an f/3.1. I like the fact that the background is out of focus. It helped to have that golden hour light coming from the left side of the picture and using an ISO of 800.

1. I know her French Couture outfit is a bit mature for her 10 year old self, but she still looks so pretty. The top is a Toddler Barbie one, and the Skirt I made myself!
2.I JUST FOUND OUT HER LEGS BEND!!! I'M SO HAPPY BECAUSE IT MAKES HER LOOK A LOT MORE REAL!!!
Sóc aficionat moderat a l'automobilisme. És una de tantes contradiccions que tinc, ja que a la vegada no em disgusta la mà dura en matèria de trànsit. Serà que la Fórmula 1 i els ral·lis tenen una dinàmica i un cromatisme molt especial. Ah, això és Montmeló, durant una exhibició de Renault.

1. I took this photo because the light was going down and I really needed a photo. I actually forgot that I took this one and it turned out better than all the others.
2. Literally took this at my hip because I'm scared to talk to people.
3. Turned it black and white and all that jazz.
4. Not got any particular meaning, just to showcase daily life in the hustle and bustle of downtown Scottsdale.

1. i think the most successful part of this photo is that i was still able to get the reflection of the restaurant sign with other busy objects in the window as well.
2. I wouldn't improve or change anything in this photo because I think i captured the reflections element really uniquely.

L'església de Sant Pere de les Puel•les és el que queda de l'antic monestir del mateix nom i tampoc es conserva igual que la construcció original que en successives destruccions i restauracions ha anat canviant el seu aspecte.
Sant Pere de les Puel•les va ser un monestir benedictí femení situat a l'actual plaça de Sant Pere de la ciutat de Barcelona.
El monestir va ser fundat al segle X amb el patrocini dels comtes de Barcelona, la documentació més antiga que se'n conserva és l'acta de consagració de la seva església romànica, que feu el bisbe Guilarà el 945. El monestir va reemplaçar l'anterior església de Sant Sadurní, que ja existia al segle IX. De la construcció del claustre hi ha documents del 1143.
El monestir va tenir un paper important en la configuració del barri que l'envolta, fora muralles fins que el rei Jaume I en va fer construir les noves, que resseguien l'actual ronda de Sant Pere i tancaven el barri de la Ribera, enderrocat parcialment pels ocupants espanyols després de la guerra de 1714. El desenvolupament de la zona es va veure afavorida pel suport dels comtes i la presència del rec comtal, un curs d'aigua que facilitava l'activitat industrial.
El conjunt va ser afectat per les desamortitzacions del segle XIX i actualment només es conserva l'església, reconstruïda totalment després de l'incendi del 1909 durant la Setmana Tràgica, l'original era de planta en creu grega i l'actual és de planta basilical.
El claustre fou enderrocat el 1873 però se'n conserven 10 arcs gòtics del segle XIII, són a les finques 1 i 3 del carrer Sant Ignasi de Terrassa. Font: Vikipedia
Histogram exercise image 1. I used this image to explore the color histograms displayed by my Nikon D80. By choosing a scene without much white nor much black, I concentrated on using the three color histograms to balance the color saturation levels and overall exposure values in the scene.
amazing that 1) i allowed someone to photograph me and 2) i have my hair up and 3) i am helping out in the kitchen. clearly, this person is not me but an evil clone.
1) I chose this item to photograph because i felt that it was unique and I recognized that the cup would look really good on a red background as the cup would really stand out.
2) The lighting gives the cup a nice reflection along the edges and middle of the cup, there is also some red that blends onto the edges of the cup and because of the lighting being straight on top of the cup, there is a nice shadow going around the saucer.
