Upon the mounds, where Scythians lie,
A crimson tide, a mournful cry.
With rus' blood stained, a somber hue,
Where Ukrainian children grew.
Their laughter bright, a whispered plea,
For freedom's dawn, for victory.
Upon those hills, a sacred space,
They'll play for Ukraine, time and grace.
For land of birth, a fervent vow,
Their hearts ablaze, their spirits now
Embrace the past, with solemn might,
To claim their heritage, in day's bright light.
The ancient stones, a silent plea,
For future hopes, for liberty.
With youthful hands, and spirits bold,
A nation's story, to be told.
So let the echoes, softly chime,
Of courage born, in sacred time.
Upon those mounds, a promise kept,
Ukrainian children, dreams they've swept.

(•) – The Lockheed Martin HC-130J Hercules The Combat King II is the U.S. Air Force's only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform and is flown by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). This C-130J variation specializes in tactical profiles and avoiding detection and recovery operations in austere environments. The HC-130J replaces HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. It is an extended-range version of the C-130J Hercules transport. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, airland, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions. When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, and noncombatant evacuation operations.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130J have 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, and the ability to receive fuel inflight via a Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI).
The HC-130J 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-130J is a result of the HC/MC-130 recapitalization program and replaces Air Combat Command's aging HC-130P/N fleet as the dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery 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 will operate the aircraft.
First flight was 29 July 2010, and the aircraft will serve the many roles and missions of the HC-130P/Ns. It is a modified KC-130J aircraft designed to conduct personnel recovery missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range or air refueling.
In April 2006, the personnel recovery 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.

Broseley's Parish Church dedicated to All Saints, built in 1845, which replaced a former building which was dedicated to St Leonard. It stands in what was once the centre of the village, but as the town grew the population settled further from the church building. In the early 1700's, what was probably the original church, was completely rebuilt bring complete by 1716. This church was in turn demolished the present Victorian edifice being completed in 1845 at a cost of 9,000. It is constructed of stone from Grinshill about 25 miles away. It was at this time that the name was changed from St Leonard's to All Saints.
Its architectural design is based on the great wool churches of the south and west of England, although it does not touch their glory. The most noteworthy feature is the tower, which since Broseley overlooks the Severn Gorge, is a prominent landmark from the opposite side of the river.
When a new building was proposed there was a suggestion that it be built of local brick the building committee being headed by Mr William Exley a local brick manufacturer. The then Rector, the Hon. & Rev. O.W.W. Forester, a Canon of York and later 4th Baron Forester, however, rejected the idea, The architect was of Worcester.
The church contains a window by Kempe, and a rerados by Bodley. There are a number of memorials to local worthies, including one telling a Cinderella story. The silver, which has been removed for safe keeping, dates form the late 17th century. There is a coat of arms of Queen Ann. The bells were cast by Mears of London in 1844, and are eight in number. There is also a Parsons Sanctus bell dating from 1642.
Broseley was a centre of iron making, and there are some fascinating iron tomb "stones" in the churchyard. The church railings too are fine examples of local craftsmanship. An ancient yew stands in the church grounds.
The registers go back to 1570, and are available in local libraries.
The graveyard at St Leonards was extended in 1840.

The ancient city owes its name to the most important Macedonian sanctuary dedicated to Zeus (Dios, "of Zeus"), leader of the gods who dwelt on Mount Olympus; as recorded by Hesiod's Catalogue of Women, Thyia, daughter of Deucalion, bore Zeus two sons, Magnes and Makednos, eponyms of Magnetes and Macedonians, who dwelt in Pieria at the foot of Mount Olympus.[4] Hence from very ancient times, a large altar had been set up for the worship of Olympian Zeus and his daughters, the Muses, in a unique environment characterised by rich vegetation, towering trees, countless springs and a navigable river. For this reason Dion was the "sacred place" of the Ancient Macedonians. It was the place where the kings made splendid sacrifices to celebrate the new year of the Macedonian calendar at the end of September. In the Spring, purification rites of the army and victory feasts were held.
The first mention of Dion in history comes from Thucydides, who reports that it was the first city reached by the Spartan general Brasidas after crossing from Thessaly into Macedon on his way through the realm of his ally Perdiccas II during his expedition against the Athenian colonies of Thrace in 424 BC. According to Diodorus Siculus, it was Archelaus I who, at the end of the 5th century BC when the Macedonian state acquired great power and emerged onto the stage of history, gave the city and its sanctuary their subsequent importance by instituting a nine-day festival of games that included athletic and dramatic competitions in honor of Zeus and the Muses, whose organisation was overseen by the Macedonian kings themselves.
Philip II and Alexander the Great celebrated victories here, and Alexander assembled his armies and performed magnificent sacrifices here on the eve of his campaign to Asia in 334BC.[5]
Many ancient authors speak of the sculptural bronze masterpiece by Lysippos made for Alexander depicting 25 mounted companions who fell at the Battle of the Granicus and later taken to Rome by Metellus.
A city was built adjacent to the sacred sites that acquired monumental form during the reigns of Alexander the Great's successors and Cassander took a great interest in the city erecting strong walls and public buildings, so that in Hellenistic times Dion was renowned far and wide for its fortification and splendid monuments. Dion and its sanctuary was destroyed in 219BC by Aetolian invaders but was immediately rebuilt by Philip V. Many of the dedications from the sanctuary that had been destroyed were buried in pits, including royal inscriptions and treaties, and these have been discovered recently.
Fortification wall
It fell to the Romans in 169BC and the city was given a new lease of life in 32/31BC when Octavian founded the Colony of COLONIA JULIA AUGUSTA DIENSIS here. It experienced its second heyday during the reigns of 2nd- and 3rd-century AD Roman emperors who were fond of Alexander the Great. Dion's final important period was in the 4th and 5th centuries AD when it became the seat of a bishopric. It was abandoned following major earthquakes and floods.
The modern village at the site was called Malathria until 1961, when it was renamed to Dio

The mission to Orbitar began not with a thunderous launch, but with the quiet anticipation of those who had dedicated years to the dream of interstellar discovery. The crew aboard the ISV Pioneer had trained for a myriad of scenarios, their minds and bodies honed for the challenges of a world beyond the skies of Earth.
Their journey was spent in the quiet camaraderie that forms between those who share a common purpose and the understanding that they might be the first to set foot on a new world. The vessel that carried them was a masterpiece of human engineering, a ship designed not just for travel, but for the establishment of humanity’s first extra planetary outpost.
Upon arrival, Orbitar was as foreboding as it was breathtaking. Its vast landscapes were a sea of dunes and stone, painted in the unrelenting reds and browns of iron oxide. The crew’s initial surveys were filled with wonder and trepidation, the stark beauty of the planet belying its inhospitable nature.
The drones were their lifeline, eyes and ears spread across the desolate terrain, each programmed to seek out the most vital resource—water. The machines flew in precise patterns, their sensors peering beneath the surface, probing for signs of ice among the aridity.
The crew’s optimism began to wane with each passing sol. The planet was calm, yielding no secrets, it's surface a seemingly endless desert. Their technology, so reliable during simulations on Earth, met it's match against the mysterious radiation of Orbitar, an insidious and previously unknown force that irreparably damaged their water reclamation systems.
The careful redundancies built into the mission design were defeated by a phenomenon unknown to the scientists and engineers who had prepared for so many other eventualities. But not this.
This dire turn brought the mission to a precipice. The prospects of finding water grew dim, and the reality of their vulnerability set in—a sobering reminder of the fragility of human life in the vastness of space.
It was during this time of hardship that Surveyor 3 went dark. The loss of communication with one of their most advanced drones was a blow to the already flagging morale. However, when the drone's signal flickered back to life, it brought with it the first sign of hope—the images of the ice formations within a sheltered basin, a discovery that would redefine the entire mission.
The discovery of ice on Surveyor 3’s visual feed was a catalyst that ignited a flurry of activity within the outpost. A mixture of relief and exhilaration swept through the crew as they planned their next steps.
A team of their best, equipped with specialized gear for the trek, was quickly assembled. The journey to the basin was daunting, a traversal across the rugged expanse that would test both their physical limits and their resolve. The twin moons of Orbitar provided their only light, casting a silver hue over the rocky landscape, guiding their path to the site of the discovery.
Their arrival at the basin was met with awe. The ice formations stood before them like ominous giants, frozen in time. With precision and care, they drilled into the pillars of ice, extracting the cores that would sustain them.
The process of converting ice to water began immediately. The crew worked tirelessly, establishing a makeshift refinery that buzzed with activity. The sound of machinery echoed off the basin walls, the thrum of human persistence and ingenuity.
With the successful extraction of water, the outpost began to thrive. Pipes were laid down, creating a network that connected the basin to the heart of the outpost. The once sparse and functional arrangement of domes and habitats expanded, growing into a complex capable of supporting the crew and their mission objectives.
The greenhouses, once dependent on the precious little water they had brought with them, now burst with verdant life. The plants within, carefully selected and genetically modified for Orbitar’s harsh conditions, began to flourish. The sight of green amidst the red landscape was a striking contrast—a visual representation of their success against all odds.
The crew’s spirits were lifted as they watched their hard work manifest into a sustainable living environment. They were no longer just visitors on Orbitar; they were residents, caretakers of the first human outpost on another world.
Word of the mission’s turnaround, of the triumph over adversity, reached Earth with the delay inherent to the vast distances of space. But when it did, the reaction was electric. The world, which had watched the mission with a collective held breath, now exhaled in jubilation.
The success of the Orbitar mission sparked a renaissance in space exploration. The discovery of ice and the establishment of a sustainable human presence on another world galvanized the population. It was a unifying moment for humanity, a shared victory that transcended borders and disputes.
This success story rippled through societies, inspiring a new generation to look up at the stars with wonder and ambition. The tale of Orbitar was not just one of survival, but of growth, of humanity’s relentless drive to explore the universe and find it's place among the stars.
The mission to Orbitar would be chronicled as a significant milestone in human history. The crew’s experiences—their trials, their victories, their day-to-day lives on the alien world—would be studied and remembered for generations to come.
As the outpost grew and the mission evolved, it became clear that the legacy of Orbitar was not confined to the records and the memories of those who had lived it. It was a living, breathing, attestation to human ambition and adaptability.
The pioneers of Orbitar had set the stage for what could be humanity’s greatest adventure—expanding civilization beyond Earth, becoming a multiplanetary species. The ice, once a symbol of mere survival, now represented the foundation of a future rich with potential.
As the outpost continued to expand and the mission progressed, the explorers looked out upon their new world with a sense of ownership and belonging. They had come to Orbitar as scouts and had become its first inhabitants, its stewards, and in doing so, they had assured that humanity’s foray into the stars was not a fleeting endeavor, but a permanent stride into the vast, uncharted wilderness of the universe.
Antigua, Guatemala...pretty sure that's a Catholic church, but...a recent (2010) plaque honoring L. Ron himself. Odd.

Fresh from gigs in Brazil, the DJs are kicking off a new series of monthly parties in the YAAM (www.yaam.de/survive), featuring many Bands and DJ´s from Europe and worldwide.

The Frank Sinatra Starkey Hearing Technologies Celebrity Invitational is dedicated to the memory and music of Frank Sinatra and benefits the Barbara Sinatra Center for Abused Children. This event enjoys a rich history as one of the marquee golf and fundraising events in the Palm Springs, California desert. Each year, celebrities, amateur contestants, loyal sponsors and enthusiastic spectators from all over the country look forward to returning to this unique "celebrity friendly" event.
Known as "Franks little party in the desert", Barbara and Frank Sinatra founded this event in 1988 to raise funds for the Barbara Sinatra Center for Abused Children at Eisenhower Medical Center, which opened in 1986. Through their efforts, and those of supporters throughout the world, the Frank Sinatra Starkey Hearing Technologies Celebrity Invitational is now one of the most successful events of it's kind.
This is a five (5) player team gross and net scramble golf tournament held at Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio, California. One (1) celebrity and four (4) contestants are a team. The team of four (4) amateur players remains together for two (2) consecutive days. The celebrity contestant changes teams for the second day. Current USGA handicaps are verified and applied to all contestants.
This church is dedicated to Saint Louis IX, king of France. There is a Renaissance facade on the outside of the Church. The inside is filled with white and gilded stucco on the nave, cupola, and apse. The church is also decorated with many memorials of French men and women who had died in Rome. Behind the main altar is a large painting of the Assumption of Mary. The Trinity in white stucco rises above the main altar and painting of the Virgin's Assumption. There is a small chapel on the side of the Church with a painting of the King of France, and at the right of this small chapel are the words “St. Louis Gives the Crown of Thorns to the Archbishop of France.” The relic of the Crown of Thorns was secured by the king and housed in Sainte Chapelle in Paris. The heretical notion of separation of Church and State was far from his mind as he collaborated with the Catholic Church in his administrative duties of state, leading two crusades and enacting laws against blasphemy. It is no wonder why Boniface VIII, author of the Papal Bull, Unam Sanctam, canonized him in 1297.
Week 11: Dedicated to all pioneers
This year, the University of Georgia has celebrated its 50th Anniversary of Desegregation. In January of 1961, Charlayne Hunter - now Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Hamilton Holmes became the first African Americans to be enrolled at UGA. It is impossible for me to fully grasp what that must have been like and it is equally difficult to understand the climate of the world before and during the Civil Rights Movement. It is also hard to imagine that there was a point in our history where I would not have had the opportunity for an equal education and I would not have had the opportunity to even set foot on the UGA campus.
I have heard some stories from my own family of their experiences during this period. For example, my Dad once told me how segregation was a way of life in Mobile, Alabama and how when my family took road trips, they would never stop in the state of Mississippi for they knew they would not receive any service and be accepted at any hotel. Just recently, I found out that my own mother had a very tiny part to play in history when she integrated the Texas Highway Authority in Corpus Christi, Texas. These are just some of the stories that came from a time that seems so long ago.
"We've got to find a way" comes from the lyrics to Marvin Gaye's famous ballad "What's Going On." It was the title track of Gaye's groundbreaking 1971 Motown album of the same name and famous for its reflective nature on the troubles and issues around the world. The title of this pic is a dedication to all of those pioneers who have fought and continue to fight against injustice for all human beings around the world.
