The boy was thrashed severely and detained at a iron scrap godown at Autonagar here for going to the aide of his grandfather whom the financier abused for not repaying loan. The incident came to light on Saturday when the boy reached home with serious burns. The financier reportedly dumped the boy in a scrap lorry and sent him back to his residence. The boy, Yaramala Ramulu, is a resident of Sattenapalle in Guntur district. He visited his grandparents at Chandramoulinagar in the city two days ago. The boy's grandfather Lingaiah and grandmother Nancharamma work with a wholesale iron scrap dealer Ch Raju. Lingaiah reportedly had borrowed Rs 6000 as loan from his employer six months ago. Lingaiah claimed he had cleared the debt. But Raju had been harassing him for payment of more money saying that he did not repay the principal amount. Raju visited Lingaiah's residence two days ago and threatened him with dire consequences if he did not clear the loan. Angered over the financier's warning, Ramulu intervened and defended his grandfather. The boy reportedly told the financier that his grandfather would not pay any more money if he threatened him. Raju thrashed the boy and forcibly took him to Autonagar. He told Lingaiah that he had sent the boy to Sattenapalle. But Raju kept the boy in captivity for more than 24 hours and tortured him with a burning plastic pipe. When the boy cried with thirst, Raju reportedly made him to drink urine. After seeing the serious injuries, Raju dumped the victim in a scrap lorry and sent him to Sattenapalle on Saturday. Shocked to see the child with injuries, his father Gopalam, a daily-wage worker, took him to a local hospital and lodged a complaint with Sattenapalle police who referred the case to Guntur police. Raju is absconding. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Boy-tortured-forced-to-drink-urine-by-financier/articleshow/20268328.cms http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f80_1370705892 Ali Baba INDIA !!!

The so-called hero of the gun rights community on Wednesday accused members of the media of purposefully confusing the public about guns and gun ownership in the months since the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Heller was the center of a landmark Supreme Court decision in 2008 that held the Second Amendment protected civilians, and not just law enforcement, in owning guns. His prescription for reporters on the gun beat Wednesday: learn how to use a firearm. "You folks in the media, I challenge you to add another to your resume. Learn about guns. Take a safety course," Heller told a room of reporters at the National Press Club. "If you don't ... you're going to have a struggle understanding the process. When I see people take a firearms class, and they start out as antigun, they enjoy it, they start to absorb that environment. If you did, you would not make mistakes, like calling a magazine a clip." That advice is one the gun rights community has offered before. In an April interview with Whispers, Dave Workman, a senior editor at TheGunMag.com and spokesman for the second amendment group Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said there were times he was "ashamed of his journalism degree" because of the way the mainstream press covered the National Rifle Association. "The problem is that most of the people who occupy newsrooms in the U.S. are not gun owners," Workman said. Heller also decried media coverage of the NRA, saying gun group vice president Wayne LaPierre's recommendation that schools should have armed security guards to prevent another Newtown shooting was justified. "Some media branded him as a crackpot," said Heller. (In December, MSNBC host Karen Finney called LaPierre "crazy.") "What I learned later, and I don't think I ever saw it in the press, was that at that very moment that they were calling him a crackpot, over 6000 schools in the U.S. already had armed security for years, D.C. being one of them," Heller said. The D.C. public school system does indeed have an office of school security, responsible for preventing and investigating criminal activity at schools, and districts in the cities of Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami and St. Louis have long had armed officers in schools, according to the New York Times. But while the mainstream media noted LaPierre's recommendation wasn't new, news agencies including CNN also noted that armed guards had been present at the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 and unable to stop the deaths of 12 students and a teacher. Heller said Wednesday that reporters are eager to make note of when guns failed to stop a crime, but don't report on when firearms are successfully used in self-defense. In 2002, for example, a shooter at the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Va., killed three and wounded three others; his rampage was eventually stopped by two armed students. According to Heller, major news outlets did not report on the defensive use of firearms at the scene. That same allegation is included in the 2003 book by John Lott "The Bias Against Guns: Why Almost Everything You've Heard About Gun Control Is Wrong." Of course, some reporters who cover guns not only know how to use firearms but also embrace them. Dan Baum, a freelance investigative reporter and gun owner who recently authored "Gun Guys: A Road Trip" about gun culture in the U.S., told Whispers in April that the rhetoric used towards gun owners since the December shooting at Newtown has been "unimaginably offensive."

This was my first year. I signed up for both the DX and Contest academies on Friday which offered a wealth of information. Got to meet some ops from previous DXpeditions I've contacted as well putting a couple of faces of those I have worked over the last three years. The Saturday seminars were excellent also. In this video he is talking about RFI causes, cures and fixes. #1 culprit being pin 1 problems, but these are more about ferrite chokes, number of turns, inductance/capacitance, etc. I won't go into all the technical detail here, but I know I have been guilty (and lazy) and just used clamp ons. If you are a ham radio operator suffering from RFI and other RFI anomalies, you'll understand this video. I will now redo every "antenna" in the house - cat5, cable, wifi, speaker cable, you name it. They also had a special event station setup there running a Steppir on a US tower into a Flex 6000 SDR hooked to a Alpha 9500. I had a chance to operate the station I have to say, that Flex6000 is pretty incredible. Still, I prefer the knobs and buttons, but the wow factor for a geek was there. The Alpha amp was sweet too, but damn, I can think of a lot better for 8 grand! There are still shots near the end of the video of the event as well. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=dfc_1366833784 losangelesmetrorider 2013 International DX Convention Visalia, CA - RFI/Ferrite/Threshhold Effect Visalia, Ham radio, 2013 DX Convention, DX convention, DX, RFI, Ferrites, Ferrite chokes, Amateur radio, Arrl, Flex 6000, Flex 6000 SDR Ham radio, Steppir antenna, US Towers, DXpedition, NCDXC, SCDXC Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:21:15 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3f3_1367026570 UtahSkyBum Just beneath the surface of Lembeh Strait, Indonesia are some of the strangest, most exotic sea creatures you will ever see.

In the documentary, he tackles 16 topics that in his opinion form the backbone of the Ancient Alien Hypothesis, which White claims he conclusively refutes, which in his opinion conclusively proves that the evidence presented in the series Ancient Aliens is factually incorrect and worse, he claims, sets out to deceive. He concludes: "The main thing I want to stress is that I'm not trying to suggest that, while Ancient Aliens got a few claims wrong, there's room for truth in their main theory. That, in light of this information, is not a tenable position. You have just witnessed the unmistakable symptoms of the entire theory being wrong." This is a heavy claim to make! In short, he argues that in his opinion the series has failed to show we were visited by ancient aliens and implies we should therefore forget all about it! So it is now up to television series to prove or disprove scientific theories? Wow! It's a heavy burden to place on any television series! Far more importantly, it would leave the likes of Carl Sagan flabbergasted, as he felt there was good evidence to look into a number of ancient contact scenarios, especially the story of Oannes - which for some reason, White does not include in this documentary. Why? White continues: "I would ask you also to take a long, hard look at the authors, speakers and charismatic personalities that led you to believe some of the things that I hope you can now see are wrong. I hope that this helps you realize they are not as smart as they have led you to believe, and to consider what other untruths they may have taught you." I am one of those people, I assume, seeing I feature in the documentary. So I took this rather personally. White has accused the makers and contributors of this show of a number of things: first, even though he claims we are not that smart as we apparently have told the world we are (where did we say that?), we also are apparently, according to White, very smart, but use our intelligence to knowingly deceive the audience. (Which one is it, Mr. White?) He claims that we create false dichotomies. So how does White go to work? Guess... I will use the subject of the crystal skulls as the first example. The conclusion of this section is, for White, the following: "In conclusion, all of the proposed crystal skulls have now been conclusively proven to be hoaxes. The last holdout (the MHS ) was only still a candidate because it was not allowed to be examined until recently. Its history is full of greed and lies, and it genuineness could only be accepted by the most dedicated devotee given the facts we now know." This is simply not true. For one, the "MHS" was studied by the likes of Hewlett-Packard and the British Museum more than three decades ago. When Anna Mitchell-Hedges came to Britain to have the latter tests performed, there were reports and footage of the event. The Hewlett-Packard testing was reported by the organization themselves and I have copies of it - as have hundreds of other people, no doubt. But White either is not aware of this, or as it does not fit his agenda, disregards it. White instead opts for or - to use the type of wording he prefers to use on the documentary in making accusations - "leads us to believe" that in 2007, when Bill Homann took the skull to the Smithsonian, it was finally revealed to be a fake. That is once again not the case. That the skull is a modern reproduction is indeed the opinion of Jane Walsh, who was present at this test. But she arrived at that belief many years before ever meeting this skull. Though I was not present, I do have in my possession the complete video footage of the 2007 Smithsonian session, and I can assure anyone, and will make available if needed, sections of this tape (it is many hours long) that will show a radically different nature of this session than what White pretends the meeting was all about. Let me note that White was not present and has never seen this footage. As mentioned, it is absolutely false that Anna Mitchell-Hedges never allowed for any testing. Nor is it true that "Anna spent her entire life trying to sell the skull." Some of the other claims he makes in this section, that Mitchell-Hedges lied about the origins of how he acquired the skull, are true. But let it be clear that the likes of White were not the ones who discovered this, even though he implies quite cunningly that he somehow seems to have been involved in finding these documents, by making claims he has seen letters and the like. So have thousands of others, as these letters are in the public record. I personally wrote that the story was an invention, and that there are good reasons why Mitchell-Hedges created the story. It can be read here. Mr White seems to be unaware of this, or fails to mention it. In short, the conclusion White reaches on the crystal skull is representative of the entire documentary. His conclusions are simply wrong and it is my opinion that he knows they are wrong, but presents them nevertheless in this manner so that he can make it appear that there is nothing to crystal skulls. And though aspects of the argument he represents are on a number of instances indeed correct, rest assured White did not uncover these, and in the case of the crystal skull, are well-known and discussed, as shown above. Somehow, White fails to include that, for if he did, he would be unable to maintain the serious, yet ridiculous and erroneous allegations he makes. I would agree with the criticism against Sitchin - I have written this myself in my book, The Ancient Alien Question. But even in these sections, it is clear how manipulative White is with his debunking. At one point, Giorgio Tsoukalos says: "Were they giants or is that the wrong word and the correct word be an extraterrestrial?" I leave it up to Giorgio Tsoukalos to defend himself, but it is clear that he means here that we've labeled them giants, but that maybe we should call them extraterrestrial instead. Yet White interprets this statement to say that Tsoukalos is claiming the word Nephilim has been mistranslated as giants and should be instead translated as extraterrestrial! From the very excerpt White includes, it is clear this is not the tone or the implication one should make from this. Similarly, when Erich von D"aniken states: "How can angels have sex? This is impossible. In our view, angels were something spiritual not something that has a body and the feeling of sex... but they had sex." White ridicules this statement, stating: "Von Daniken's idea of an angel is defined more by hallmark cards than ancient texts. Obviously ancient cultures including the writers of the Bible believed that angels could and did have sex with human women." This is precisely the point Erich von D"aniken is making too, but it is clear that White fails to see this! Either White is stupid, or deliberately deceptive. But maybe I am nitpicking - which is what White engages in, as shown in the above accounts, constantly. When at one point in a show, the narrator relates that there is a written source dating from 6000 BC, White then relates that Tsoukalos in an interview gives the correct age. So the narrator made a mistake. In 48 hours of footage, you will find some, obviously! Let me assure White that in his 190 minutes, he has made several more! But for White, this is once again evidence of a conspiracy by everyone involved in Ancient Aliens to deceive, in a type of conspiracy theory that defies all logic, but which is apparently clear to White. Which is why he uses such bombastic phrasing as: "Ancient Aliens just adds another 5,000 years as if no one would notice. They're actually even contradicting themselves with this date because in another episode they correctly state that the oldest writings in the world are the Sumerian tablets, the oldest of which date to about 4000 BC. So why they now say that there are some writings 2,000 years older than the oldest writings, I don't think anyone knows." Mr. White, most people will know, but clearly you don't: as I said, it's an error by the narrator. These things happen. White also claims us experts are bad researchers. Within the first few seconds of his documentary, White claims that "Ancient Aliens premiered April 20, 2010". Well, you see, it did and it didn't. You could say that, but what about the two hour special, also called Ancient Aliens, on March 8, 2009, which on Wikipedia is referred to as a pilot - it was not really a pilot, though. It was a two hour special which proved popular, as a result of which a series was created. But it was not created as a pilot as such. But here is the issue: you can take it both ways. You can say the series started either in 2009 or 2010. Both are right. But if ever such a choice is available when it comes to the evidence under discussion in Ancient Aliens, White will make sure to highlight the other possibility and claim Ancient Aliens instead set out to deceive and misrepresent! When he goes after Tsoukalos for not knowing that the material at Puma Punku is andesite, while Tsoukalos says diorite, White doesn't seem to realize there is no true difference between those two, or deliberately chooses to ignore or reference that! Yes, Tsoukalos is wrong, but it is truly a tiny error. The two rocks are equivalents, but are given different names because of the manner in which they were created. But when it comes to hardness, there is no difference. White fails to point that even though Tsoukalos is indeed in error, this error does not change the debate. But wait, instead, White pretends the error does change the debate. It does not. Though the section on the show itself addresses the hardness of the rock, White makes it appear as if the mystery of Puma Punku is that ancient alien theorists pretend the polishing of the stones is somehow otherworldly. This is a misconception White arrives at either through his own stupidity or misdirection. The mystery of Puma Punku is that a number of stones - not all of them - have remarkable drill holes that, in the opinion of experts on the subject matter, can only be made with mechanical tools. White never addresses that enigma - for it is an enigma. Instead, he creates a false dichotomy and then disproves it, pretending it was the point the show was trying to make. But Puma Punku is about far more than the archaeology. This is the area where Viracocha, a god, was said to have manifested on Earth. That is not a claim made by the series, but by the Inca. White is clearly of the notion that the Inca invented a deity and that we should not at all take this claim of theirs seriously. It is the bog standard line that we should not trust our ancestors. Mr. White, that specific stance is precisely why series like Ancient Aliens were created and you merely state the bog standard perspective, somehow pretending or assuming that is the truth. Ancient Aliens is based on the premise that the pool of evidence of history and archaeology allows for an other than standard interpretation. Our ancestors reported that they had been visited by a non-human intelligence, and there is evidence both in the archaeological and historical record that suggests that our ancestors could be correct. White writes: "Part of the Incan state religion was that the Incan empire was the first civilization and was created by God himself. It was a very convenient idea for bolstering the Incan case for the right to rule everyone else." White here clearly assumes the Inca invented this "convenient" lie. The rest of his section once again clearly presents his total neglect or misunderstanding of the legends of Viracocha. He claims that the show mistakenly depicts Viracocha as a sky god, not a sea god. In truth, Viracocha is both, and neither - he was a creator god most specifically. But when you rely on Wikipedia and especially, it seems, the first opening lines of a Wikipedia entry, you tend to come up with the erroneous conclusions White makes throughout this show. But once having established such "truths", he then pretends the show and its contributors are the ones falsifying it all! And again, White sides with the bog standard view that archaeologists have conclusively dated the site. They have not. The dating of Puma Punku is indirect, and everyone knows it. The "official dating" of Puma Punku is based on circumstantial evidence and though that circumstantial evidence might be true, it is not, as White pretends, right by default! Specifically, what "ancient alien theorists" try to show, is that in the very location where Viracocha was said to have emanated, there is a site which has anomalies, and which shows workmanship that is at odds with the rest of that civilization and even that very site, and is suggestive of a higher technology. But White dismisses it out of hand, as he knows the Inca "conveniently" created Viracocha. It seems that for Mr. White, the Inca were just as deceptive as the producers of Ancient Aliens! In the interest of brevity, I will mainly focus on the other topics in which he features me. Everyone else on the show, given that they have sufficient time, can speak for themselves if they feel the need to. On Baalbek, he suggests that 630 tons is the same as 1200 tons, and hence that because Romans could lift 630 tons, they could have lifted 1200 tons. Uhm... 1200 tons is pretty much double. Also, when he draws the comparison between 630 and 800 tons, he says "just 100 tons more". It's actually 170 tons more! Details, but important, for he is trying to minimize the difference, which in truth, is still quite a bit larger. In my book The Ancient Alien Question, I clearly state that at the end of the 20th century, we had no tools in existence to lift 1200 tons. That's a fact. A fact White conveniently sidesteps, instead focusing on other things and trying to bedazzle his audience with things that might seem important, but truly are not. It is also disingenuous to pretend that these stones are not part of the foundation, but instead of a retaining wall. I don't know what universe White lives in, but it is clear that the retaining wall is part of the foundation on top of which the temple was built. And it is a platform. Sitchin is indeed wrong to claim it is a landing place, but it is clearly a platform and a foundation on top of which at some point a Roman temple was built. Also, simply because Baalbek is not a landing place, doesn't mean it's not an anomaly! White also conveniently forgets to mention that there are no records at present that show the Romans actually built the retaining wall/foundation. That is right: no evidence. It is an assumption. Even some of the illustrations he shows in his documentary have the words "hypothetical" written on them, but White seems to feel he does not need to point this out. In the Tolima "fighter jets", he uses a quote of mine arguing I make a leap of faith. What he fails to highlight is that officially, the "goldflyers" are classified as insects. Sure, White can make the point that they are fish, but his beloved experts in this subject matter have identified these as insects, not fish. So either White is wrong, or the experts are. I am merely pointing this out, because once again, we are confronted with a pool of evidence, in which the experts have decided to label them insects, White decides to label them fish, and ancient alien theorists have highlighted the resemblance to modern planes. The type of insect that is proposed - a bee or a fly or like - indeed does not have wings at the bottom of their body, which is why we have said that these goldflyers cannot be such insects. But instead, White shows us completely different insects, with no resemblance to the golden objects at all, to pretend we are somehow wrong. In truth, he creates a misdirection. In this section, his logic is this: "Consider that all we know about this culture reveals them to be simple farmers, fisherman , and artisans; people that lived of the land and, considering that there is nothing in the extensive amount of archeological material from this culture that would suggest knowledge about planes landing and taking off all the time, is it logical to assume that aliens landing and taking off in their back yards made so little impression on them that they only devote 10 of the 100s of figurines to it, and only in one tomb?" First of all, "all we know" is clearly the traditional academic perspective. Science by default excludes the ancient alien hypothesis, so you can use "all we know" all the time. Again, White seems incapable of realizing what this series is about: to discuss material that science refuses to reconsider or analyze from a different perspective. But, specifically: how many of us wear jewelry that has a space shuttle on it? I've seen few people wear such gold jewelry! But, clearly, in White's opinion, there has to be far more than ten percent of our current jewelry on Earth with space imagery, as we have witnessed objects going into space. I can safely say that if all our jewelry of Mankind is put together, produced since 1960, not even one percent will reveal objects of spaceflight. Yet, somehow, in White's world, aliens landing and taking off would lead to thousands of golden figurines depicting this! It is a false premise, Mr. White, which you created, either of out stupidity or to deceive your viewers. When it comes to ancient nuclear warfare, we are once again treated to a careful editing of the case. The fact - yes, fact - that there was a radioactive patch in an area of India over which the gods were said to have fought a battle in the sky is never mentioned by White. His argument on Mohenjo Daro is so badly produced he actually contradicts himself, when he argues the series doesn't mention the names of experts, but he seems to have forgotten he himself has included the section where the series says it is Davenport! Most importantly, White makes the allegation that the dead at Mohenjo Daro are buried and did not die in some type of massacre. On his site, he refers to a source, which redirects to another source, where we find the basis for his claim. This source, however, says something far different than what White pretends. The source says that the way in which the excavations happened have left us in a situation in which no-one - that is right, no-one - can conclude whether the dead died in a massacre or were buried. Seeing that some were holding hands however, would suggest they might indeed have suddenly died in a massacre, not? And the possibility that there was a massacre is not speculation created by ancient alien theorists, but an opinion held by many experts in the field - something White fails to highlight for by now obvious reasons. Again, from a pool of evidence, Ancient Aliens and its contributors have made an alternative suggestion, which is not excluded by the evidence. But White instead pretends it is, even though the very sources he cites, show differently! In the opening section of the documentary, White states: "I hope that, even if you disagree with my conclusions, you will come away from this essay believing that I reviewed the claims of Ancient Aliens with respect and without bias." I would disagree both on the respect and the bias. Speaking of motive: White is a Christian fundamentalist. So he will side with such topics as the Nephilim as being real, but claims they cannot be alien. As White is somewhat unclear about what he believes they are, I do believe he doesn't consider them to be human. So if not human, what are they? By default, that makes them alien - though not extraterrestrial as such, indeed - but then the evidence shows they descended, so clearly they came from above, suggestive of an extraterrestrial origin. But at the very least he cannot exclude an extraterrestrial origin. Yet White somehow feels he can! The mind boggles... A quick overview of the rest, maybe? Jean-Pierre Houdin's theory of how the pyramids were built is totally irrelevant in this documentary. It addresses no single point of criticism, and White even says that he explores this out of his own interest. Clearly, the documentary wasn't long enough without it, in his opinion. All the other allegations about the pyramid construction are once again carefully edited. Where does he tackle the Davidovits claims? Oh wait - nowhere! On Easter Island - which I personally don't see as evidence of an alien intervention - his bias is once again on show. Sure, the statues could have been put in place with wooden rollers. But the stories are that the statues walked into place, which is why there is speculation about levitation in the first place. That our ancestors stated they walked into place is another fact White somehow fails to include in the documentary. Why? In my book, The Ancient Alien Question, I outline that Pakal's tomb, the Nazca lines and a few other subjects White has included in the documentary are not evidence of alien contact. But even in those sections of White's documentary, I would disagree on a number of points with the way in which White sets out his argument, and on a number of occasions uses deception in order to make a point he could have made if he had done some proper research or, heaven forbid, read my book. Finally, I would like to tackle the section on Ezekiel, but quite frankly, this section was incomprehensible to me. I do not understand what his argument is, apart from the obvious fact we are clearly and obviously wrong. I think I have clearly shown that White has made exaggerated claims about his debunking, in e.g. the case of the crystal skulls. That he is deceptive, in e.g. the case of Mohenjo Daro. They are, as outlined above, not the only errors, but representative of his methodology. For whatever reason White has produced this documentary, it is clear that White has done so not because he feels he needs to warn the world of gross untruths in the series, for if that were the case, his documentary would not have resorted or needed to resort to falsifying the counterarguments. In my opinion, White is upset with the notion that Ancient Aliens is making people re-evaluate certain paradigms, and his documentary is all about trying to pretend that we should not do that. However, it is deplorable that White makes the false dichotomy that Ancient Aliens and the Ancient Aliens Hypothesis are one and the same. Clearly, the series is a visualized rendition of a debate - not the debate itself. It is impossible to counterargue every counterargument White has made in this ridiculously long documentary as it would take months. But I think I have shown Mr. White is white (read: innocent) in name only. In Mr. White's opinion, we are a black kettle. He is definitely not a white pot. PS. It is now entirely possible that this reply will be used to create another reply, in the vain hope of trying to elicit from me another reply, so that the debate goes on endlessly, with loads of blablabla. As far as I am concerned, the debate ends here. The very reason why this reply was created, was because people wanted me to reply and hear my opinion on the documentary, so I did. In truth, I feel I have written more than 4100 words that I could have written about far more important topics than Mr. White's documentary. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=288_1365389081 The Answer Debunking Ancient Aliens Debunked - Phillip Coppens Debunking ancient aliens debunked Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:35:21 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c24_1364329423 euronymus Around 6000 of Sudan's cattle raiding Nuer tribe are on the hunt for their foes, the Murle tribe.

So, Iraqi officials decided to move almost all their fighter jest to the very western part of Iraq, to Al Walid air base close to the Iraqi-Jordanian borders-- some 3000 km away from Iran! Iranian commanders, among them later martyr General Fakoori, planed the destruction of this base. Iranian fighter jets had to fly in very low altitude in order to evade Iraqi radar systems and anti-aircraft SAM missiles. The risk of the mission had estimated 70%! IRAF fighter jets passed through Iraq borders with Turkey then refueled close to Iraqi-Syrian border--the Iranian refueling plane had earlier departed from Cyprus, and in Turkey's sky announced it'd lost the rout and is finding the way pack(cover story)--refueled fighter jets continued their mission through Syrian-Iraqi border and finally attacked Al Walid air based in the most far reached western part of Iraq. After the bombardment of the air base, Iranian planes had to return the same rout to Iran which was so dangerous as Iraqi air defense systems had been awakened after the attack. But they couldn't believe this attack was the work of Iran. They had thought Israel had attacked them. So Iranian jets came back to Iraqi-Turkish border then refueled again. But near Iran border one of the planes was hit by Iraqi anti-aircraft systems and could not continue the flight. So it landed in one of the high ways of East Azerbaijan province in Iran!!

Tom Harkin (D-Iowa). Sen. Tex Cruz (R-Texas) had attached to the Democratic budget resolution an amendment that sought to "establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund to provide for the repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010." In short, the Texas senator tried to repeal "Obamacare" and encourage "patient-centered reforms to reduce costs," as The Hill puts it. "Obamacare was passed with many promises, and in reality, it has not delivered," Cruz said right before the vote. "Obamacare is hurting young people, it's hurting seniors, it's hurting Hispanics, it's hurting African-Americans, it's hurting the economy and it should be repealed." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell before the vote also warned that the new health care law will be an expensive drag on the economy. "Three years later, the President's health care law remains a job-killer that grows the government and slows the economy, which is why it's important to repeal the whole thing and replace it with commonsense reforms that lower costs and that Americans actually want," McConnell said. Sen. Cruz's amendment was easily voted down by 52 Democrats and two Independents. All 45 Republicans voted in favor of the amendment. "I am proud that Senate Republicans once again stood united and unanimously voted to undo this devastating legislation," Cruz said after the vote. "Our economy is stagnant right now - last quarter it was 0.1 percent - and sadly, every Democrat who voted, voted to continue implementing Obamacare even as the economy is gasping for breath."

The SM-6000 was a high-wing braced monoplane with room for a pilot and a cabin for ten passengers. It was powered by three 215hp (160kW) Lycoming R-680 engines strut-mounted one each side above the main landing gear units and one in the nose. A number of variants were built mainly with improved interiors. In 1932 the Model U Airliner was produced which had low-set stub wings with an engine mounted at each wingtip. George Bernard Shaw was born on 26th July 1856 at 33 Synge Street, Dublin, Ireland. It was not until 1932 when he made a world tour with his wife Charlotte Payne Townshend, a wealthy Irish heiress. But before that, he went to a few places. George Bernard Shaw travelled in luxurious ocean liners, but he never forgot to talk (and write) about politics while he was travelling. He was also a good swimmer, and could play the gallant and be chivalrous to ladies. Above all, he was a human being, and would run for cover once it rained.Here is Shaw boarding an aeroplane: a Stinson, in San Francisco in about 1932.
