Blue Whistling Thrush perched in a rock face near Manali, Hiamchal.
A pair of thrush were hopping around in the grass that had grown in a crevice in the vertical rock face. In all probability the pair were nesting there.
with a small probability for L. zonulum. L. leucozonium is much commoner but this was found on a dry sward on sand in a nature reserve, so more to the liking of L. zonulum
Lari asked to see more. Its part of something bigger but, this is it really. Its all solid trebles and chains.
(•) – 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.

How many topics in physics are contained in a simple rainbow produced on the wall (and toilet) by sun shining through a plastic privacy screen?
Well...the light from the sun is composed of many different wavelengths...the distribution of which is dependent on the temperature of the star - which ours is centered on the the yellow. When the the light encounters an optically dense medium (glass or plastic in this case), the light is absorbed by the molecules and passed from molecule to molecule, the probability of which an absorption and emission occurs is described by Feynman's QED. The principle of least action (from D'Alembert and Lagrangian mechanics) finds the maximum probability amplitude, and hence the interaction that occurs, or the direction the light is refracted. The path of light through the medium is dependent on the wavelength and frequency of the light. One can back up to PAM Dirac's relativistic quantum mechanics, ingeniously melded Schrodinger's wave equation and/or Heisenberg's Matrix mechanics with Einstein's relativity, which determined that the only certainty in the universe is the speed of light. Everything else including Newton's fixed stars and time...TIME itself are mutable to make the speed of light constant in every situation. Dirac faced with the actual energy of a particle being the square root of the rest mass and its motion, devised a Hamiltonian that required matricies, later interpreted by Pauli as spin states of particles. Schoedinger and Heisenberg following Bohr's amazing leap of quantized orbits to describe Plancks description of light as quanta....actually they were named by Einstein to describe the photoelectric effect....but Planck needed the quantized description of light to explain the ultraviolet disaster of Rayleigh. Planck was working for the electric company to maximize the light output of municipal utilities at the least cost.... TBC
"The quantum wave of probability (the qwiff) is still spreading out in space waiting for some unsuspecting observer to 'pop' it -- altering the probability and suddenly creating an observed reality."

Michigan Uninsured Motorist Insurance in 2018
Uninsured motorists make up a significant percentage of the driving population in Michigan. Approximately 20% of motorists lack valid insurance for their vehicles, and the number is potentially higher in communities such as Flint and Detroit. Most residents cite the high costs of insurance in the state to be the leading factor that hinders them from acquiring coverage. Nevertheless, the high number of uninsured translates to a higher probability of Michigan drivers getting into an accident with uninsured drivers. Some of the leading Michigan car accident attorneys work at our firm.
Lacking insurance is both illegal and risky for the driver and any passengers. Apart from the hefty fines and the potential for a jail term, the driver misses out from the benefits that come along with insurance covers. For instance, uninsured drivers cannot claim the benefits of Michigan’s no-fault insurance or make legal claims against the at-fault driver for monetary compensations. The driver will not be entitled to have any form of financial support that is directly related to the incidences of the car crash.
However, there is the case of being involved in an accident with an uninsured driver. Due to the high probability in Michigan, this is an issue of high concern. Insured drivers can get into accidents with uninsured drivers that may result in harm to passengers and damage to property. Additionally, there is the case of hit and run where the driver cannot be identified. In such cases, uninsured motorist insurance gives the victims an opportunity to claim compensation for suffering and damages. A leading Detroit car accident attorney at our firm can help you with filing a Michigan car accident insurance claim.
What does Michigan Uninsured Motorist Insurance Cover?
Uninsured Motorist insurance tries to cover the damages that arise from accidents with uninsured motorists. Drivers can acquire this type of insurance from their insurers to cater for compensation in the event of damage, injury or loss from an uninsured driver. Since the coverage is not mandatory for all, drivers have to make a conscious decision to purchase the policy to be part of their insurance. The coverage is either a minimum of $20,000, or $40,000 and varies upwards according to the coverage purchased. Most covers are inexpensive while still offering extensive coverage over some months. Speak with some of the leading Michigan car accident lawyers at our firm today.
How to make Michigan Uninsured Motorist Claims
The procedure for initiating uninsured motorist claims is straightforward. Once named as a beneficiary of an insurance policy, making a claim is as simple as contacting your insurance provider. Unnamed individuals who can benefit are those who were passengers in the insured vehicle at the time of the accident with an uninsured driver. If the individual can prove their occupancy of the vehicle, they can claim the insured driver’s provider. Driving uninsured in Michigan is not a good idea as Michigan police can check your insurance using your license plate.
However, the claims made are subjected to the specific terms outlined in the insurance policy. Different insurance contracts may have varying obligatory clauses that must be adhered to before the claims are approved. The obligations involve the time limits for making the claim which when ignored can disqualify a claim. Moreover, only no-fault individuals are allowed to make a claim. In special cases where there is shared fault, for a claim to be valid, the driver has to have less than 50% of fault.
Nevertheless, uninsured motorist benefits offer a much-needed reprieve for motorists against the ignorance of other drivers. It is recommended that drivers add insurance to their basic coverage to protect against harm and or damage from uninsured drivers. An elite Michigan car accident attorney at our firm is standing by to help you immediately with any issues you may be having regarded an auto accident.

Coin Flipper, 2009
Dot Samsen
We often use randomness and fate to help us make decisions. Some decisions are so hard to make that we leave the responsibility completely to fate or randomness-by flipping a coin. This can make us feel less guilty or believe we've reached the ‘right' decision, but what are our true intentions behind these decisions? The Coin Flipper aims to
challenge this apparent randomness to reveal our true intentions.
