Harris Predator Ii: Fill & Download for Free

1. The US Air Force once had a plan to nuke the moon. Renowned scientist, Carl Sagen was on the planning team. http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/28/u-s-had-plans-to-nuke-the-moon/2. During the Invasion of Grenada, U.S. Soldiers were unable to communicate to the Navy to direct fire support. So an unknown army officer used a payphone and credit card to call the pentagon- which relayed the target information. Communication procedures were changed to be more flexible in a joint operating environment after this instance.3. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, A Predator Drone lost contact with its pilots and was flying out of Iraqi airspace, An F15E was dispatched to shoot it down and did so with a sidewinder missile. This was the second unusual “kill” by this aircraft. During the 1st Gulf War the same aircraft dropped a guided bomb onto a flying Iraqi helicopter.4. The U.S. Military is the largest provider of humanitarian Aid. It provides more aid than any other force or organization.a. There are 2 hospital ships that sail world’s oceans and respond to disasters as directed. They have 1,000 beds onboard and even have gyro-stabilized state of the art operating rooms so that surgeries can be performed in rough seas. They are the third largest ships in the naval inventory, after Nimitz and Ford Class super-carriers.b. In disasters around the world, U.S. Troops sometimes arrive to assist before the local first responders. This includes developed countries as was the case in Japan after the Tsunami/Nuclear disaster in Fukushima5. We invent and employ some of the most advanced technologies ever developed. There is an entire agency devoted to the purpose of inventing new technologies for military use called DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). They are reported to be working on a multitude of projects from plasma shields for vehicles, insect size drones, electromagnetic rail guns and various energy weapons. The Defense Department is also using a miniaturized space shuttle-like drone called the X37B- OTV (orbital test vehicle) for unknown reasons.Some of the systems DARPA has created, like the internet, has quite literally changed the human experience. Others proved to be ideas that thankfully were never deployed, like the “Davy Crockett” nuclear recoilless rifle. Many of these technologies developed by DARPA and other military organizations were later adapted for civilian use. These inventions include:GPSThe Internet (ARPANET in the 1960’s)Nuclear PowerNight VisionDuct TapeDigital Photography6. Our military is BIG!a. There are 1,429,995 active duty troops, 818,000 reservists, and 108,833 civilian employees who make up the Department of Defense. (2010 stats Source- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Armed_Forces#Budget )b. The US. Air Force is the largest air force in the world with 7,468 aircraft. That figure does not include drones, research aircraft, ICBMs, or satellites.c. The second largest “Air Force” in the world belongs to the U.S. Navy with 3,650 aircraft. The U.S. Marine Corps also has a large air component with over 1,000 aircraft and will soon include over 300 Stealth F35-B and C Fighters.d. The U.S. Coast Guard is larger than some navies, possessing over 200 aircraft, and employing cutters that are over 400 ft. long.e. The 2016 budget for the U.S. military is $580.3 Billion not including an additional $218 Billion appropriated for defense related spending such as contingency operations and the VA. The $728 Billion in defense spending is larger than the GDP of Switzerland (19th largest GDP in the world according to the IMF).f. There have been MANY historical figures and notable celebrities who have been members of the U.S. military The below list is only a few:George Washington: Revolutionary War (Continental Army)Andrew Jackson: War of 1812 (Army)Abraham Lincoln: Black Hawk War (Indian Wars) (Army)Theodore Roosevelt: Spanish American War (Army)Harry Truman: World War I (Army)Dwight Eisenhower: World War I and World War II (Army)John F.

There are only a few conflicts mentioned in the series which would count as a “war”, like the Goblin Rebellions, Wizarding wars of Great Britain, etc.But the “first” war of any relevance to the series is Grindelwald’s War, also known to the muggles as World War II. This war predates the wars of Wizarding Britain by quite a few decades.The Goblin Uprisings wouldn’t count as wizarding wars due to one side being goblins, qualifying more as a rebellion, but there are implications of wizarding wars happening before the wizards went into hiding, like during the Hundred Years’ War.

Knowledge does not spring up out of nowhere, fully fledged. It undergoes a very complex developmental process, as it moves from the completely incomprehensible to the pragmatically useful.Religious thought exists at the border between what is known and what is still unknown, and acts to mediate the transition from the latter to the former. Art, when it is true art, performs a similar function, partially explicating what is not yet known well enough to be articulated. Thus, religion is more like art than it is like science.Religious symbols and images encapsulate knowledge of critical importance -- but knowledge so complex it still evades conscious formulation. Such encapsulation is a relatively early but profoundly important stage in the generation of articulated knowledge. Our imagination is captured by still-functional religious symbols, because of our deep intuition that they at least partially express something that is vital to realize.You can see this happening all the time. Many forms of deeply popular "entertainment" are built on a story-grammar that is completely religious. The recent phenomenal popularity of the Harry Potter stories constitute a case in point. Harry is a savior figure, who fights both the serpent (Volume II) and the devil (he who cannot be named). His death and rebirth, in the last volume, is what allows him victory over evil -- but only after he recognizes the evil within himself. It's classically Christian, but many of the motifs predate Christianity itself. People are drawn to such stories, by forces beyond their conscious volition, because they contain information that is vitally important to their healthy being. There is no changing that: for homo sapiens, some truths are eternal -- and those eternal truths are religious.
