ANGEL FIRE DECOY BEAUTIFUL

These are two US KC-130 Hercules planes, both firing infra-red decoys. The Angel Decoy is used in Iraq to protect against surface-to-air missiles, but we just love the fireworks. See the video after the jump.

Dassault Mirage 2000 VERY DANGEROUS:P

The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French multirole, single-engine fourth-generation jet fighter manufactured by Dassault Aviation. It was designed as a lightweight fighter based on the Mirage III in the late 1970s
Using the concept of the delta wing interceptor seen on the Dassault Mirage III, Dassault built a new fighter jet design. This configuration is not ideal with regard to maneuverability, low-altitude flight, and distance required for take-off and landing, but has advantages in high-speed flight characteristics, simplicity of construction, low radar signature and internal volume.
Development of this small aircraft would also give the company a competitor to the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, which had defeated the Dassault Mirage F1 in a contest for a new fighter for the air forces of Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands and Norway. Small single-engined fighters were clearly the most appreciated by foreign customers, as experience with the larger, twin-engined Mirage 4000 would show.

Why Do I Need Web Hosting?

Well, you don't, unless you would like to have a website A website or web site is a resource of information that is suitable for the World Wide Web (www) and can be accessed through a web browser. This information is usually in HTML or XHTML format and may provide navigation links to other websites on the internet. on the internet. The internet is a worldwide series of interconnected computer networks that transmit data. It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller networks which together carry information and services such as email, online chat, video services, ftp capabilities, online gaming, banking and much more. Everyone that has a website needs web hosting. A web hosting company makes it possible for your site to be accessed by everyone else. You can make the best website anyone's ever seen sitting at your own computer but unless you upload to upload, is to send data from a local system like your computer to a remote system like the web hosting company. The difference between uploading and downloading is downloading means to receive and uploading means to send. that website to a hosting server A server is simply a computer that provides services or resources to other computers. There are millions of servers connected to the internet running continuously throughout the world directing traffic on the internet. Every action by a regular internet user requires one or more interactions with one or more web servers. it will never be accessible to everyone else so that's why you need web hosting.

Introduction to Currency Trading

The foreign exchange market (forex or FX for short) is one of the most exciting, fast-paced markets around. Until recently, forex trading in the currency market had been the domain of large financial institutions, corporations, central banks, hedge funds and extremely wealthy individuals. The emergence of the internet has changed all of this, and now it is possible for average investors to buy and sell currencies easily with the click of a mouse through online brokerage accounts.

Daily currency fluctuations are usually very small. Most currency pairs move less than one cent per day, representing a less than 1% change in the value of the currency. This makes foreign exchange one of the least volatile financial markets around. Therefore, many currency speculators rely on the availability of enormous leverage to increase the value of potential movements. In the retail forex market, leverage can be as much as 250:1. Higher leverage can be extremely risky, but because of round-the-clock trading and deep liquidity, foreign exchange brokers have been able to make high leverage an industry standard in order to make the movements meaningful for currency traders.

Spot Market

You must know what is spot market? more specifically, the spot market is where currencies are bought and sold according to the current price. That price, determined by supply and demand, is a reflection of many things, including current interest rates, economic performance, sentiment towards ongoing political situations both locally and internationally, as well as the perception of the future performance of one currency against another. When a deal is finalized, this is known as a "spot deal". It is a bilateral transaction by which one party delivers an agreed-upon currency amount to the counter party and receives a specified amount of another currency at the agreed-upon exchange rate value. After a position is closed, the settlement is in cash. Although the spot market is commonly known as one that deals with transactions in the present (rather than the future), these trades actually take two days for settlement.

WHAT IS WEB HOSTING

A Web host is in the business of providing server space, Web services and file maintenance for Web sites controlled by individuals or companies that do not have their own Web servers. Many ISPs, such as America Online, will allow subscribers a small amount of server space to host a personal Web page. Other commercial ISPs will charge the user a fee depending on the complexity of the site being hosted.
Web hosting refers to the process of publishing a web site so that it is available to the world on the Web. Paid web hosting also involves getting a domain name and not having forced ads displayed on your site

WHAT IS FOREX??

FOREX - the foreign exchange market or currency market or Forex is the market where one currency is traded for another. It is one of the largest markets in the world.
In the foreign exchange market there is little or no 'inside information'. Exchange rate fluctuations are usually caused by actual monetary flows as well as anticipations on global macroeconomic conditions. Significant news is released publicly so, at least in theory, everyone in the world receives the same news at the same time.
Like any market there is a bid/offer spread (difference between buying price and selling price). On major currency crosses, the difference between the price at which a market maker will sell ("ask", or "offer") to a wholesale customer and the price at which the same market-maker will buy ("bid") from the same wholesale customer is minimal, usually only 1 or 2 pips. In the EUR/USD price of 1.4238 a pip would be the '8' at the end. So the bid/ask quote of EUR/USD might be 1.4238/1.4239.

The Barrett M107

The Barrett M107 began life as the Barrett M95 bolt-action operated sniper rifle (under the US Army designation of XM107) and placed into competition for review by the US Army. During competition, the US Army reviewed its heavy caliber sniper rifle needs and decided against pursuing the XM107 design, instead focusing its already invested XM107 dollars into purchases of the proven semi-automatic, recoil-operated Barrett M82 series. These M82 systems were therefore afforded the designation of M107 and otherwise represent only slightly different versions of the original Barrett
The M107 sniper rifle is set to be adopted by the US Army (as of this writing). The system is similar to the US Marine Corps Barrett M82A1 .50 caliber sniper system. The M107 enables Army snipers to accurately engage personnel and material targets out to a distance of 1500 to 2000 meters respectively. The weapon is designed to effectively engage and defeat materiel targets at extended ranges including parked aircraft, command, control and communications, computers, intelligence sites, radar sites, ammunition, petroleum, oil and lubricant sites and various lightly armored targets.

The Beretta Cx4

The Beretta Cx4 Storm is a pistol-caliber carbine aimed at the sporting, personal defense and law enforcement markets. Seven different models accept full-size Beretta magazines from the 92/96, Cougar, and Px4 series pistols in 9x21 IMI (its original caliber), 9x19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W and .45 ACP
The Cx4 Storm was developed to be used in conjunction with other Beretta semi-automatic pistols. For example, the magazines for the Beretta 92FS chambered in 9mm can be used in the Cx4 (also chambered in 9mm). This aids in a smaller loadout – no longer needing to carry separate magazines for the rifle and handgun – and adds redundancy, allowing a person to carry more ammunition without adding weight. Using the non-Beretta Storm magazines require a two piece kit (not included with rifle). The pieces consist of the following: the 9x19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W magazines of the Px4 require the C5C620 insert and C89210 release button. Every caliber can be purchased with Cx4 magazines that only fit the CX4. The .45 ACP only comes in this way.

The Uzi (Hebrew: עוזי‎, officially cased as UZI) is a related family of open bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns. Smaller variants are considered to be machine pistols. The Uzi was one of the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design which allows for the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip for a shorter weapon.
The Uzi uses an open bolt, blowback-operated design. The open bolt design exposes the breech end of the barrel, and improves cooling during periods of continuous fire; however, it means that since the bolt is held to the rear when cocked, the receiver is more susceptible to contamination from sand and dirt ingress. It and the Czechoslovakian series 23 to 26 were the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design, in which the bolt wraps around the breech end of the barrel.[1] This allows the barrel to be moved far back into the receiver and the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip, allowing for a heavier, slower-firing bolt in a shorter, better-balanced weapon.

The Franchi SPAS-12

The Franchi SPAS-12 is a dual-mode shotgun, meaning it can be used as a semi-automatic or pump-action firearm. The gun was designed to function primarily in semi-automatic, with the pump-action mode used to reliably fire low-pressure ammunition such as tear gas rounds or less-lethal bean bags. Switching between firing modes is done by pressing a button under the foregrip, and sliding the foregrip slightly forwards or backwards until it clicks into position.

The barrel of the SPAS 12 was externally threaded to accept a wide variety of attachments, from chokes to gas grenade launchers. One interesting and particularly rare attachment, called a "diverter", spread shot vertically or horizontally.[1] All barrel attachments are considered rare, and demand premium pricing on the secondhand market.The SPAS-12 was never terribly popular due to its excessive weight and complicated controls. Still, it developed a small following during its 21 year production run. Due to it being banned from import in the early 1990's, it has achieved status as a collector firearm in the United States.

Iran sniper rifle acquisitions

The STEYR HS .50 is a long range, high precision rifle, with an effective range of up to 1,640 yards (1,500 m) and similar armor piercing qualities to the american Barrett 50cal sniper rifles. The Steyr is single shot and not self-loading which is arguably a disadvantage relative to the Barrett but allows for easier concealment of the firer (why many countries prefer bolt action sniping rifles).

The Steyr can pierce US army issue body armor and poses a threat to lightly armored vehicles such as Hummers and trucks.

The Gracefall Standard

The Gracefall Standard, as it is known, has an excellent look and feel, similar to many other modern sniper rifles, with 7.62x51mm chambering, but can be altered for an additional 50 Zallums/25 USD per rifle. It has an adjustable and removable scope, and has 8 bullets per clip. It's tripod is sturdy and nigh unbreakable. The entire gun is made of a bulletproof material below a steel-aluminum alloy. As an extra addition, it has a camera for monitoring a wider area while aiming towards a target! With low recoil for a sniper rifle of such high quality, this is a must-have for all those looking to have a rifle for their army.
500 Zallums, or 250 U.S.D. per rifle - orders over 100,000 reduced to 200 Zallums, or 100 USD per rifle! Silencers are available for 30 Zallums, or 15 USD per rifle!
