Describes the U.S. Army Golden Knights, their history, aircraft, maneuvers, and team members.
When he pulls a sword from a stone, Arthur fulfills his destiny to become king of England and together with his knights of the Round Table ushers in a golden age of chivalry.
In 1860, during their first attempt to create the Golden Circle, several thousand Knights assembled in southern Texas to "colonize" the northern Mexico. Due to insufficient resources and organizational shortfalls, however, that filibuster failed. Later, the Knights shifted their focus and began pushing for disunion, spearheading prosecession rallies, and intimidating Unionists in the South. They appointed regional military commanders from the ranks of the South's major political and military figures, including men such as Elkanah Greer of Texas, Paul J. Semmes of Georgia, Robert C. Tyler of Maryland, and Virginius D. Groner of Virginia. Followers also established allies with the South's rabidly prosecession "fire-eaters," which included individuals such as Barnwell Rhett, Louis Wigfall, Henry Wise, and William Yancy.
On Saturday, June 17th, 2023; The Vegas Golden Knights celebrated with their adoring fans at Toshiba Plaza just east of T-Mobile Arena. Unbeknownst to us, a drone show had been planned, paid for, and was already in the works for us revelers below. The drone show contractor was the amazing folks and UAS/UAV pilots from Sky Elements USA! Personally, I was expecting a ton of crazy fireworks. However, I spotted just over the Toshiba Plaza Parking Structure the drones en route to their airborne stage. I started flying drones in 2015. I have been a tenured drone (UAS UAV) pilot for 8.5 years. I consider myself a seasoned veteran when it comes to dynamic drone aerial videography. I had seen drone shows that were spectacular at the Disney World theme parks and Universal Orlando. They used to have large screens placed around the park and viewing areas. They projected video on sheets of fountain water and the leaves of the nearby trees, which looks rather slick. Then I saw an animated Disney one with the infamous animated characters “goofing around” in the night sky. I was driving the I-4 corridor coming back from Clearwater Beach, FL; and I saw another one that looked like Universal Orlando’s as I drove past the attractions. It was very cool, but the Disney drone show was slightly better. This was five years ago approximately when I attended or viewed these shows in Florida. None were as sensational as 6/17/23. You can actually see individual tree leaves and dark/unlit drones in the sky in this Ultra High Definition video captured. If you are patient when loading your video, The 4K UHD playback experience will be well worth it on a compatible screen. I also included a short biography of my experience piloting drones since 2015. My tenth drone is a DJI drone. My favorite drone to fly and perform aerial video capture with, in 4K UHD mind you, was my Yuneec Typhoon Q450. The drone I piloted a dozen times over South Beach, Middle Beach, and North Beach in Miami Beach, FL was my Yuneec Typhoon Q450. I hope that this becomes a loved 4K UHD video that can be considered a time capsule hockey fan gem. 'Go Knights Go!' Defeat The Fortress Dragon with a REPEAT championship title next season in The 2024 Realm of Knights on ice! "We GOT the Cup!" baby...
The entitled Las Vegas Golden Knights got the best players ever in any NHL draft; they are a supremely cocky, hard-working and resilient bunch with a huge chip on its collective shoulder. Perhaps the NHL teams that Vegas "raped" in the expansion draft should play the Knights with an equally big chip on their own collective shoulders. Heading into their first season, the Golden Knights were listed as 500 to 1 long shots to win the Stanley Cup and as a result, sports books in Las Vegas were due to take quite a hit had they pulled off the win. Director of trading Nick Bogdanovich said, "the estimates I heard around town of $5 or $6 million losses sounded about right," adding that it was the biggest liability he'd seen since William Hill U.S. was formed.As the Golden Knights progressed through the season and proved to be a veritable force in the league, odds makers had to find creative ways to hedge against the potential of a Stanley Cup win. Some sports books offered a "field" bet that allowed them to offset some of their risks, but even with the adjustments, a Golden Knights win was still a significant financial liability.Despite this, many of those running the sports books said they would have traded the huge financial hit if it meant their newfound team got to raise Lord Stanley's Cup in their first season. Alas, it was not to be, but the Golden Knights beat the odds - going from 500 to 1 underdogs - to 9-2 favorites to win the the Stanley Cup. That they lost to the Washington Capitals is no shame. For the 2018-2019 NHL season, the Golden Knights are now listed as 10 to 1 favorites to win it all in their second season. It'll be a real challenge for the NHL darling Las Vegas Golden Knights to Beat the Odds again. However, bet against them at your peril.
The United States today is a divided nation and some say the country may be heading toward breakup, or possibly civil war. That has happened before and the result was disastrous. As many as 750,000 Americans perished during the Civil War. A study of the causes of our last Civil War may help to prevent another.The Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) played a major role in starting the Civil War in the United States. Although intended to remain a secret organization of conspirators, it is perhaps the most well-documented conspiracy in United States history. The goal of the KGC was the creation of a new society separate from the United States dedicated to the preservation and expansion of slavery into Latin America.The KGC existed in almost every state in the Union, but nowhere was it as powerful and successful as it was in Texas. Several governors, many senators and military leaders were members, having taken an oath to support the organization and their fellow members. Most of the documents generated by the KGC were destroyed after the war ended as its members feared execution for treason. Not everything was destroyed, though. This book relies on documents created by the organization and its members that have not previously been used by researchers. Many members of this organization remained in positions of authority in state affairs after the abolition of slavery. This book goes far beyond previous published work in establishing the identities of the members of this organization who promoted and encouraged the most disastrous war in American history.Randolph W. Farmer is a native Texan from a family whose ancestors first came to Texas as early as 1817 when it was still a Spanish possession. He is the author of two previously published books on Texas history.
