" Insurgents hack US drones Militants in Iraq have used $26 (Dh95) off-the-shelf software to in- tercept live video feeds from US Predator drones, potentially pro- viding them with information they need to evade or monitor US military operations. Senior defence and intelligence officials said Iranian-backed insurgents intercepted the video feeds by taking advantage of an unprotected communications link in some of the remotely flown planes’ systems. Shiite fighters in Iraq used software programs such as SkyGrabber – available for as little as $25.95 on the inter- net – to regularly capture drone video feeds, according to a person familiar with reports on the matter. US officials say there is no evidence that militants were able to take control of the drones or otherwise interfere with their flights. Still, the intercepts could give America’s enemies battlefield advan- tages by removing the element of surprise from certain missions and making it easier for insurgents to determine which roads and buildings are under US surveillance. The drone intercepts mark the emergence of a shadow cyber war within the US-led conflicts overseas. They also point to a poten- tially serious vulnerability in Washington’s growing network of unmanned drones, which have become the American weapon of choice in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Obama administration has come to rely heavily on the unmanned drones because they allow the US to safely monitor and stalk insurgent targets in areas where sending American troops would be either politically untenable or too risky. The stolen video feeds also indi- cate that US adversaries continue to find simple ways of counteract- ing sophisticated American mili- tary technologies.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2011) Martial arts are extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat, practiced for a variety of reasons, including self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, as well as mental and spiritual development. The term martial art has become heavily associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, but was originally used in regard to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, martial arts being the "Arts of Mars," the Roman god of war.[1] Some martial arts are considered 'traditional' and tied to an ethnic, cultural or religious background, while others are modern systems developed either by a founder or an association.

  • Agra: Pehlwani En El Arte De Las Miniaturas
    Agra: Pehlwani en el arte de las miniaturas Pedro Martín González Después de un tiempo abandonaba Delhi con la intención decidida de viajar a la ciudad de Agra. Lo hacía con el propósito firme de encontrar otros akharas de Kusthi. Quería, además, toparme con el paisaje que en un pasado ya muy lejano envolviera la Corte del Emperador Shah Jahan, quien fuera, también, prolífico constructor, militar empecinado y amante de un arte de fusión de estilos que, transcurridos varios siglos desde su declive, ha llegado a denominarse por algunos especialistas: arte indo-islámico. Ajusté el viaje en las callejuelas de la vieja Delhi y, una vez detallada la ruta a seguir y atados todos los cabos con el conductor, que también me serviría de guía, salimos de la Capital a primera hora de la mañana. Las etapas se sucedieron sin dificultad y aunque el tráfico es siempre caótico en las carreteras de la India, llegué a mi destino sin altercados. Era ya noche cerrada, tenía el tiempo justo para encontrar un pequeño hotel, leer de nuevo las crónicas acerca del mogol Aurangzeb escritas por el médico, aventurero y cronista francés Francois Bernier, y quedarme dormido. Quizá el monumento más emblemático del arte mogol sea el Taj Mahal, auténtica joya arquitectónica que destaca no sólo por su belleza, también por su extraordinario diseño. En 1983 la UNESCO lo declaró Patrimonio de la Humanidad y hoy en día es icono y referencia de la nación India en todo el mundo.

Abstract Folk sports are the countertype of modern sports: invented traditions, bolstered by tangible ritual and intangible myth, played by the common folk in order to express a romantic ethnic identity. Like other cultural forms, traditional sports and games around the world are becoming marginalized in the face of modernization and globalization. In 2003, UNESCO ratified the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in an attempt to counter such trends of cultural homogenization. As elements of intangible cultural heritage, folk sports now fall under the auspices of UNESCO safeguarding policies.

  • Martial Arts Traditions: a Survey
    Martial Arts Traditions: A Survey ‘Martial Arts’, as the name suggests, are popular art forms that give training in different kinds and dimensions of fighting — fighting with a spear or a sword, physical combat, resisting cavalry attack, single combat or combat with many, etc. As such, the martial arts apart from being sources of popular entertainment also provide training in skills required by professionals, including soldiers. India has an ancient tradition in diverse martial arts. Nearly every part of India has evolved one or the other form of a popular martial art. The Japanese and the Chinese trace the origins of their popular martial arts, karate and kung-fu, to India. Notably, according to Chinese texts and tradition, an Indian sage, Bodhidharma (5th or 6 th century CE), who travelled from south India to north China and settled at the Shaolin Monastery in the Sung Mountain, meditated there for nine years and imparted some early techniques of Indian martial arts to his follower monks. Texts Ancient Indian texts and the epics describe various martial arts that were then popular in the subcontinent. The Dhanurveda , an ancient treatise on the science of archery and the art of warfare, enumerates the rules of archery, rules of bow- and arrow-making, and describes the uses of weapons and the training of the army. The treatise also discusses martial arts in relation to the training of warriors, charioteers, cavalry, elephant warriors, infantry and wrestlers. The Yajurveda highlights the importance of the science of archery and praises those who are well versed in it. Sections of the Mahābhārata describe wrestlers and wrestling and boxing bouts, such as Bhīma’s famous fights with Jarāsaṅdha and with 1 KTPI Class XII – Martial Arts Traditions Duryodhana.

  • Upstream Itinerary
    Pandaw River Expeditions EXPEDITION No 3 THE LOWER GANGES RIVER 7 NIGHTS There can be no river in the world as sacred as the Ganges and an expedition on the Lower Ganges or Hooghly is one of the prettiest river journeys imaginable. The river wends its way through the lush countryside of West Bengal with its culturally significant towns crammed with temples and palaces. A rich and vibrant rural life abounds and there is never a dull moment as we sedately ply this pleasant waterway. A decade ago, for the first time since colonial times, Pandaw pioneered river expeditions in India. Since then we have depended on modern style and often impractically designed partnerships. We are now able to offer an original Pandaw ship, vastly more suited to river expeditions in the tropics and far more comfortable too. There can be no better vessels to explore this rich tapestry than on a stately Pandaw vessel, currently the Pandaw fleet having seen service now in four countries. With staterooms offering, guest personal verandah space and indoor dining. Please Note due to local regulations, Pandaw has hired a local management company to run the day-to- day operations of our ships in India. Indus Expeditions operate under the management of Pandaw to deliver our expeditions and maintain our Pandaw owned vessels. Whilst Indus Expeditions make every effort to offer the highest levels of guest care and have been provided with full training and support from Pandaw and our local management, it should be noted that given the chaotic but often charming way in which India works there may remain some local quirks and differences in service from what you will find in South- East Asia!

    May, 2019 Grapplin’ Gorillas, Style of the month: Pehlwani A style of wrestling from the Indian subcontinent, developed by the Mughal Empire, is Pehlwani. Also referred to as Kushti, it is believed to have derived from both the Malla-yuddha (the traditional form of combat wrestling), with influences from varzesh-e bāstāni, a traditional system of athletics originally used to train Persian warriors. Techniques used in this style include locKs, throws, pins, and submission holds. StriKing is not allowed. NAME: Pehlwani (Kushti) COUNTRY: India SURFACE: Dirt. ButtermilK, oil, and red ochre are sprinKled to the ground, giving the dirt its red hue.
