10 Incredible Acts of Kindness Caught On Camera

The Only Plane The Terrorist Fears

The Only Plane The Terrorist Fears

The Lockheed AC-130 gunship is a heavily armed, long-endurance ground-attack variant of the C-130 Hercules transport fixed-wing aircraft. It carries a wide array of anti-ground oriented weapons that are integrated with sophisticated sensors, navigation, and fire-control systems. Unlike other military fixed-wing aircraft, the AC-130 relies on visual targeting. Because its large profile and low operating altitudes (around 7,000 ft) make it an easy target, it usually flies close air support missions at night.

The airframe is manufactured by Lockheed Martin, while Boeing is responsible for the conversion into a gunship and for aircraft support. Developed during the Vietnam War as 'Project Gunship II', the AC-130 replaced the Douglas AC-47 Spooky, or 'Gunship I'. The sole operator is the United States Air Force, which uses the AC-130U Spooky and AC-130W Stinger II variants for close air support, air interdiction, and force protection, with the AC-130J Ghostrider in development. Close air support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and urban operations. Air interdiction missions are conducted against planned targets and targets of opportunity. Force protection missions include defending air bases and other facilities. AC-130Us are based at Hurlburt Field, Florida, while AC-130Ws are based at Cannon AFB, New Mexico; gunships can be deployed worldwide. The squadrons are part of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), a component of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

The AC-130 has an unpressurized cabin, with the weaponry mounted to fire from the port side of the fuselage. During an attack, the gunship performs a pylon turn, flying in a large circle around the target, therefore being able to fire at it for far longer than in a conventional strafing attack. The AC-130H Spectre was armed with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons, one Bofors 40 mm cannon, and one 105 mm M102 howitzer; after 1994, the 20 mm cannons were removed. The upgraded AC-130U Spooky has a single 25 mm GAU-12 Equalizer cannon in place of the Spectre's two 20 mm cannons, an improved fire control system, and increased ammunition capacity.

The new AC-130J is based on the MC-130J Combat Shadow II special operations tanker as of 2012. The AC-130W is armed with one 30 mm Bushmaster cannon, AGM-176 Griffin missiles, and GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs (SDBs).

Congress conspiracy behind Ahmed Patel's win, says Shankersinh Vaghela

Former Congress leader Shankersinh Vaghela alleged that the party conspired to get the votes of two of its rebel legislators disqualified in the Gujarat Rajya Sabha poll.Vaghela, who quit the Congress last month, further said that the Election Commission (EC) disqualifying the votes was "planned in advance". "The EC had no role in this, they should not have interfered. The returning officer had the right to decide. It was a conspiracy by the Congress, they had planned everything well in advance," Vaghela said.

WOW! Amazing Agriculture Technology - Watermelon

Amazing Agriculture Technology - Watermelon. The watermelon is an annual herbaceous trailing plant which belongs to the cucurbitaceous family and goes by the scientific name of Citrullus lanatus.
As is common to intensive crops, the market life span of this fruit has been extended due to the fact that it is a forced crop which is protected by being grown in greenhouses. This means it is no longer a fruit grown exclusively during the summer only.
The process of planting of watermelons in greenhouses is carried out with seeds which have previously been germinated in seedbeds. This takes place from December until the month of April, which means they are sown earlier than they would be if sown directly.
Germination begins as soon as the cotyledons appear. Once the seedlings have grown to a height of about 8cm the end bud begins to appear, becoming longer, until the beginnings of new leaves start to show. At 10 or 12days after germination the cotyledons begin to wither and the end bud begins to sprout.
Crops which are grown under plastic are subject to the kind of temperatures and humidity that favour the spread of diseases. In order to overcome this, pumpkin pattern grafting is carried out due to its morphological and physiological affinity to the majority of watermelon varieties grafted. This creates a resistance towards Fusarium wilt and other fungus found in the soil.
The time lapse between sowing and transplanting varies between 30 to 40 days from the point of initial sowing in seedbeds. Seedlings should be transplanted into the soil with the root balls in tact; as this plant cannot stand to be transplanted with bare roots.
Holes are made with a hoe or a dibber. Once the root ball has been set in place it is covered with soil and watered, which helps to stabilize the plants and facilitates the root taking process.
One month after nascence the watermelon will begin to develop trailing stems and show the beginnings of stalks that branch out. A second watering should be carried out 10 or 12 days after this takes place.
Once watermelon plants are showing several leaves, some superficial work needs to be done in order to get rid of weeds and so that the technique known as ridging may be carried out.
There are two methods of pruning which are appropriate for watermelons cultivated in greenhouses.
The first requires action as soon as the plant begins to grow, which means that as soon as 4 or 6 true leaves appear, they should be de-budded above the leaf, causing the axial bud of this leaf to be pinched. The same process is repeated with the secondary branches. In this way the adult plant will have two stalks that grow out from the main stem and four secondary shoots.
With the second method only the two main branches are left to begin with. When these branches have 5 to 6 leaves, de-budding is carried out above the third leaf so that four secondary branches are allowed to form.

Building Without Nails The Genius of Japanese Carpentry

Building Without Nails The Genius of Japanese Carpentry



We've heard of the genius "technology" used in ancient times to build towering monuments with nothing more than primitive tools like stones and ropes. The Egyptian pyramids of old is a great example.



Back in the far east, Japan had plenty to offer the ancient world as well when it came to resourceful inventions and crafts. Traditional Japanese Carpenters built houses, temples, and castles, without the use of nails, screws, or bolts.



In a documentary interviewing one of the few remaining practitioners of this seemingly lost art of carpentry, an old Japanese master craftsman exclaims "No bolts, no nails. It lasts longer!". Proudly claiming its effectiveness that no one would be able to argue against its success



in the form of several majestic towering temples all over Japan still standing to this day.



After being subjected to harsh weather and clashes of changes in civilizations for well over a thousand years. But with the bold statement comes a clear understanding that the success to this art isn't because they designed it to withstand "against" nature, instead, it is all about



being "with" nature.



Moving his livelihood to New York and sharing his art form of old Japanese wood working to the world, Isao Hanafusa, co-owner of Miya Shoji, has carved himself a unique niche in the competitive market of the furnishing industry.



Sought out and revered by New Yorkers wanting that embrace with nature in their interior decor with a style and durability in craftsmanship that can't be rivaled by most factory produced alternatives.



All furniture selections in Miya Shoji showrooms are hand crafted, even the types lumber used in all his crafts are hand selected by Hanafusa himself. Isao Hanafusa was a graduate of Industrial Revolution studies of which he states has produced countless wonders for the



modern world, but its cold machinery has also tragically killed off individual talent that is supposed to reside in craftsmen.



To this day, he rejects criticisms of his methods being unnecessarily old fashioned, because with all the bold talk of technologically advanced tools and methods used in modern day construction work, the Hanafusa family believes a thousand years worth of talent refinement



and mastery should not be thrown away in exchange for mass production convenience.



Nor is it going to back down from the contest that their crafts will last even longer than rigid concrete and metal structures for the simple fact they are not designed to resist against the force of mother nature, but to live with her.

India to Enter 70 Gb/s High Speed Internet Era with ISRO''s New Satellit...

India to Enter 70 Gb/s High Speed Internet Era with ISRO''s New Satellites Launch



Despite India overtaking the U S last year to become the world's second largest internet user base after China, India is still behind many Asian countries when it comes to internet speed.



But things are set to change in the next 18 months when Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to start an age of high-speed internet in the country with the launch of three communication satellites.



Isro will launch three communication satellites. the GSAT-19 satellite will be launch in June this year and then GSAT-11 satellite and at the last GSAT 20 satellite.



These satellites will use multiple spot beams (a special kind of transponder that operates on a high frequency) that will increase internet speed and connectivity. These multiple spot beams will cover the entire country." A spot beam is a satellite signal that is specially concentrated (sent by a high-gain antenna located on the satellite) so that it covers only a limited geographic area on earth.



The narrower the beam, more is the power. The three satellites will reuse "beams" (signals) several times over smaller areas. In contrast, traditional satellite technology uses a broad single beam to cover wide regions.



These new satellites, once operational, will be capable of providing high-quality internet, phone and video services." the effective data rate of earlier-launched GSAT satellites is one gigabyte per second.



GSAT-19, on the other hand, will be able to transfer data at four gigabytes per second, thus making it equivalent to four satellites. " GSAT 11 is One of the heaviest satellites ever to be built by ISRO, will be launched by the year end. It will be able to transfer data at the rate of 14 gigabytes per second. GSAT-20, whose launch is set at the end of 2018.



This satellite will have data rate of 60-70 gigabytes per second. The GSAT 19 satellite will use eight beams, while GSAT 11 satellite will use 16 beams and GSAT 20 satellite will use 40 beams.



Each beam will have two polarisations, which will effectively make them 80 beams.



The number of internet users in India is expected to reach 450-465 million by June 2017, around 4 to 8% increase from 432 million in December 2016, according to a report from the Internet and Mobile Association of India.



The India with just 4.1 Mb per second average connection speed, ranked a poor 105th on the world's fastest internet connectivity speed list.



India is way behind than South Korea which is on first position with 26.3 Mb per second internet speed and Hong Kong have 20 Mb per second internet speed, Sri Lanka have 6 Mb per second internet speed, Vietnam have 6.3 Mb per second internet speed and China have 5.7 Mb per second internet speed. but The launch of these three satellites will be the game-changer for India.
