Three lessons from Erdoğan's rally in Sarajevo
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a rally in Sarajevo on 20 May ahead of the upcoming Turkish elections scheduled for 24 June. Vuk Vuksanovic draws three lessons from the rally: that Turkey is in the process of adopting a more assertive approach to foreign policy in the Balkans; that Erdoğan is intent on using foreign policy in the Balkans to achieve his domestic political goals; and that Erdoğan has a firmly embedded desire to openly challenge the EU.

On 20 May, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a large political rally in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The rally was part of Erdoğan's election campaign for the Turkish parliamentary and presidential elections. The rally attracted a large number of people as 10,000 supporters of Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) were brought in from across Western Europe. The rally also gathered an equal number of native Bosnian Muslims: Olympic Hall, where the rally was held, has 20,000 seats.
The rally provided three relevant lessons for understanding Turkey's role in the region and Erdoğan's approach ahead of the elections. First, it showed that Turkey is intent on confirming a more assertive approach to foreign policy in the Balkans. Second, it highlighted that Erdoğan is ready to use the country's foreign policy, including in the Balkans, for his domestic political ends. Third, the rally underlined Erdoğan's proclivity for openly challenging the EU.
The first lesson speaks of the Turkish ability to act as an independent regional player in the Balkans. Turkey has been acting this way for the last ten years as the financial crisis of 2008 and the neglect of the Balkans in Western strategic calculations has created a power vacuum that Turkey has been filling alongside other non-Western players. One might say that for Turkey the Balkans is the only place where its foreign policy has been successful, as opposed to the failures in the Middle East, and to being sidelined by Russia in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Strong relations with Muslims in Bosnia are among the central pillars of Turkey's regional policy. Erdoğan once famously said that Alija Izetbegovic, the Muslim wartime president of Bosnia, "bequeathed" Bosnia to him on his deathbed, angering Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats. Alija's son Bakir, the chairman of the Bosnian Presidency, and his Party of Democratic Action (SDA), are also nurturing close ties with Erdoğan and the AKP. On Twitter, Bosnian political scientist Jasmin Mujanovic described this relationship as one of "authoritarianism & patrimonialism". Erdoğan is strengthening this partnership through the Union of European Balkan Democrats (UEBD), a Balkan branch of the Union of European Turkish Democrats (UETD): a Turkey formed lobbying organisation that was behind the rally in Sarajevo.
Beyond this exclusive foreign policy dimension, the rally clearly highlighted the second lesson, that Erdoğan is becoming more prepared to use foreign policy and relations with friendly capitals to further his domestic political goals. Erdoğan's rally was part of his efforts to win reelection and the Turkish diaspora in Western Europe will play an important role in this endeavour. During the referendum held in Turkey on 16 April last year, Erdoğan's proposal for constitutional change that mandated the expansion of presidential authority won by a narrow margin. Now it is evident that the votes of the Turkish diaspora in countries like Germany and the Netherlands played a major role in the outcome as 1.4 million Turks living in Western Europe participated in the vote. For the upcoming elections, 1.4 million Turks living in Germany alone will be eligible to vote out of a total number of 3 million Turks in Western Europe who will have the same rights.
However, Erdoğan is finding it difficult to mobilise the support of his diaspora as EU countries with large Turkish populations like the Netherlands, Austria and Germany have banned him from organising political and electoral rallies on their soil. Therefore, the Turkey friendly city of Sarajevo, with its geographic proximity to the EU, was a perfect venue for organising a rally and thereby circumventing the EU states that had sought to prevent him from campaigning in Western Europe.
This was also Erdoğan's way of suppressing the influence of one of his most ardent domestic adversaries, the FETO movement, led by Erdoğan's former ally and now arch enemy, Turkish cleric Fethullah Gullen, whom Erdoğan accuses of being behind the failed coup in 2016. Erdoğan is using his influence in the Balkans and Bosnia to combat the movement, which has developed its own network of followers in the Balkans over the years. Since the failed coup in Turkey, Ankara has been pressuring Sarajevo to close private schools funded by the movement in Bosnia. In neighbouring Serbia in October last year, Erdoğan visited Sandzak, the Muslim populated Serbian region, to send a message to Gullenists that he holds bigger sway in the area than them. In March 2018, Turkish intelligence officers also arrested six Turkish nationals in Kosovo linked to the movement, sparking a local scandal. By acting assertively in the Balkans, Erdoğan is combating one of his strongest domestic adversaries, an issue which is particularly important in Bosnia as Bosnian courts rejected the extradition of a Gullenist activist to Turkey in April, despite the close ties between the two countries.
Finally, the key lesson from the Sarajevo rally is that Erdoğan has a firmly embedded desire to openly challenge the EU. Relations between the EU and Turkey have been experiencing difficult times, with the EU accusing Erdoğan of overseeing a decline in Turkish democracy, and Erdoğan accusing the EU of adopting a dubious stance towards the failed coup. With this in mind, and given the ban on rallies imposed by EU capitals, Erdoğan is prepared to throw down the gauntlet against the EU. The various options available to him have included pursuing a tactical partnership with Russia, threatening to influence migration flows, and ultimately acting more assertively in the Balkans, a region that is widely considered to be the EU's backyard. Erdoğan has a more permissive environment to do so as the recent EU summit held in Sofia dashed any hopes of Bosnia, Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo being able to join the EU anytime soon. As these are all countries where Turkey has influence in one form or another, he feels more secure in making moves like the rally in Sarajevo.
Turkey's influence in Bosnia and the Balkans nevertheless has its limitations. The EU remains the primary economic partner for states in the region, trumping all other players. In the long term, the EU still holds a high level of attractiveness for the Balkan countries, including Bosnia. However, this does not mean that the EU and the West in general should take Turkey's actions lightly. Erdoğan is trying to push forward his domestic illiberal agenda through the on-going election campaign and he is using the Balkans to do so. The challenge for the EU and the local actors opposed to Erdoğan is to devise a joint strategy of coping with the unpredictable regime in Ankara, but without provoking an unnecessary crisis and anti-Turkish hysteria. One thing is for certain, if the EU wants to exercise influence in the region, it must change its approach.

Erdogan is not known as the "Sultan" merely for his ambitions for a domestic power-grab, but also for his ambitions of refueling Ottoman conquests. This is evidenced by his multi-prong approach to destabilize Europe by (but not limited to):
+ conspiring to flood Europe with people who are alien to Western culture/history/laws, and
+ energizing populations in Europe who are sympathetic to Ottoman influence/expansionism within Europe, and
+ all of this with the aiding and abetting by the European militant hard-Left who seek to destabilize Europe, and for them to subsequently effectuate a hostile takeover of our governments and Judiciaries.
Erdogan comes not as a friend, but as an Ottoman conqueror (or in the role as "spoiler" in the eyes of the militant hard-Left).

PAST WINNERS IN THE CATEGORY MATERIALS, RESOURCES & WATER
2017 - Materials, Resources & Water - Category Winner
MIT Thin Film Solar Cells
The world's thinnest solar photovoltaic cells are so light they can sit on a bubble Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed the thinnest, lightest solar cell ever made. The key to developing such a thin and light cell is its unique fabrication method. Solar cells are normally made up of layers of photovoltaic materials and a glass or plastic substrate. Rather that fabricating each layer, the MIT researchers created all three parts of their solar cell at the same time. The result is a solar cell so thin that it can be embedded onto materials that are light and flexible like fabric or paper. The thickness of the cells are about 1/50th the thickness of a strand of hair and to demonstrate this, the researchers from Vladimir Bulović's lab at MIT placed the cell on a soap bubble. Light weight, and able to get more power from the sun (400 times more power per weight than silicon-based cells), means these kinds of thin solar cells could be useful for high-altitude balloons and even as coatings on buildings to collect endless power from the sun. This is the latest in the string of solar advancements from the Bulović group, which aim to redefined the form and function of solar technologies, in order to accelerate their proliferation and adoption. These include the flexible solar cells printed on paper and resilient to repeated flexing and heating cycles; semi-transparent solar cell films integrated into every day objects, such as sunglasses lenses that generate power upon solar illumination; and, fully transparent solar cells that appear invisible (as they do not absorb any visible light, but do absorb infra-red and ultra-violet radiation) and can serve as see-through windows that generate power. The most recent ultra-light solar technology from the Bulović group, described above, can generate over 6 kiloWatts per kilogram, which when further combined with his other solar advancements could usher an era of ultra-light, invisible, solar-active thin film coatings, that would redefine the form and function of solar cells, assisting their rapid and widespread proliferation.
Geocement
Geopolymers are the new inorganic materials with a polymer structure of molecules. They possess high strength and a range of specific properties that exceed those of natural stone: High resistance to various acids and aggressive substances, and high sulphur resistance due to the absence of сalcium compounds in the structure; Excellent waterproof properties are achieved thanks to mesoporous structure of the material, big molecules like water can't enter in the geopolymer matrix even if they are pushed using external forces.
Pasteurization Technology Group
This San Leandro, California startup is trying to revolutionize the disinfection of wastewater by combining it with renewable energy generation. Most wastewater is treated with chemicals like chlorine or energy-sucking UV light. PTG uses methane produced in wastewater treatment, and a turbine, to produce electricity for treatment facilities and to sell back to the energy grid. The exhaust from the turbine is also used to heat-pasteurize the water. The system is more than 90% energy efficient.
Modern Meadow is developing fundamentally new approaches to growing animal products. This includes cultured leather and meat products which require no animal slaughter and much lower inputs of land, water, energy and chemicals. The company aims to help fashion designers and makers of leather goods meet the increasing global demand for their wares without taking such a toll on animals and the environment. The Brooklyn startup uses a tissue engineering technique called "biofabrication," to grow leather from skin cells in trays in a lab. The company is also developing biofabricated meat, fish and poultry from muscle cells.

The idea of electric vehicles to clean up the air in our cities has always been the right one. Back in 2001, however, when I first launched Reva, India's first mass-produced electric car, it seemed like it was ahead of its time. While we sold the car in 24 countries and created a certain level of awareness, the reduction in pollution and energy was not as impactful as I would have liked it to be. As I reflect on my journey as an entrepreneur and an agent of change, introducing a transformational technology, I have always been driven by this vision of a future when people commute with a mass transport solution powered by renewables — enabling a cleaner, less polluted world.
My tryst with clean mobility goes back to 1990 when I was just 20 years old, at the University of Michigan. Always hooked on cars, I had the opportunity to participate in a 2,500-km race across the US in a car we built, called the SUN Runner, that was solely powered by solar energy. We were fortunate to come first in this race which led to General Motors sponsoring us for the 1990 World Solar Challenge in Australia.
Again, we raced for 3,000 km across the vast Australian outback and came third, right behind Honda. Being able to cross a continent on just energy from the sun was an eye-opener for me. Oil prices were at an all-time low and there was little awareness of climate change. Electric vehicles (EVs) were really not on anyone's agenda.
me that electric vehicles using renewables could transform the world and be the much-needed solution for developing countries like India and China.
In the late 1990s, when I started to build the Reva, the situation was very different from what is happening today. There was lack of a supportive ecosystem. I am not just talking about funding. There was lack of a regulatory framework to certify vehicles. There was no clear government policy to work on. The VC (venture capitalist) community was not keen to invest in products since India was more into services, especially in the field of software. Moreover, suppliers were unsure about coming on board because they were concerned about the future of electric mobility. It was also difficult to get banks or insurance companies to consider supporting customers who purchased electric vehicles as they did not know how to finance such a product, in terms of value, depreciation, and so on.
Finding talent was also an issue. In fact, not a single person we hired initially had ever worked on an electric vehicle before. This required us to train engineers and build teams for R&D, testing, manufacturing and service, in addition to setting up supportive infrastructure. We had to focus on not just addressing the challenges in developing cutting-edge technology, a lot of our energy went into creating an ecosystem and communicating across ecosystems. We had to ensure people understood how electric vehicles were going to impact society, pollution, the economy and the country.
Changing perceptions and attitudes about electric cars was equally important. Nobody had any idea about electric vehicles and they often wanted to know if something like this was run anywhere in the world before they would commit to it — be it a financier or a customer. People started taking us seriously only after the Reva was exported to countries such as Norway and the UK!
As Indians, we need to start seeing our differentiation and innovation in a more positive light and believe that we can also lead in such new areas.
Today, the EV landscape has gone through a huge makeover. Globally, EVs are growing at the rate of 60 percent year-on-year, propelled by climate change mitigation goals. The environment too is conducive for the adoption of EVs. Renewable energy prices are falling; battery technology has advanced, battery costs have dropped, and there are compelling reasons today to bring down our pollution and oil import bills. Consumers are also more aware and keen to look at electric mobility. All these conditions are coming together in an area where we can connect the dots and consider viable sustainable options.
slowly building in India. There is a clear framework to certify vehicles. Investments in charging infrastructure are slowly happening. Customer adoption is also on the increase.
Shared mobility companies are introducing electric vehicles in fleets. Ola, Lithium, Smart-E have successfully deployed hundreds of electric vehicles. The government too has triggered demand by ordering 10,000 electric cars and around 500 electric buses. So, entrepreneurs today are operating in a more encouraging environment. Young companies can now focus a lot more on developing their products and solutions and reduce their time on marketing. They need to spend less effort in building an ecosystem. This is really going to help the EV revolution in the country and enable start-ups to be a huge part of this story.
In many ways, the seeds of SUN Mobility were sown when trying to run cars on solar energy back in the 1990s. After selling the Reva to Mahindra, I reflected on the barriers that were preventing mass adoption of electric vehicles. The key concerns for consumers were high acquisition cost (primarily driven by the cost of batteries), range anxiety (limited driving distance) and long refuelling time.
Electric vehicles require five to eight hours for a normal charge or an hour for a fast charge. But, for a consumer used to a re-fuelling time of five minutes, anything more than that seems like eternity. The idea was to create a business model and a set of technologies that could truly address these challenges. By separating the batteries (and auxiliary systems like chargers) from electric vehicles, EVs could be priced similar to petrol vehicles and by integrating the energy and battery into a "pay as you go model" for customers, one could also get the cost of energy per kilometre to be lower than for gasoline. With customers being able to swap these batteries in a couple of minutes (faster than re-fuelling gasoline), one could address the issues of range anxiety and long refuelling time.
It was around this time that I reconnected with Uday Khemka, who is a strong advocate of combatting climate change and was setting up new businesses in renewable energy. Uday came from the renewable world and I from electric mobility, but we had a common vision to create a cleaner and sustainable future. We reflected on how just a small, exclusive population in the world was able to go green since it was an expensive proposition and how battery swapping could potentially change this.
Next, we looked at what would have the biggest impact on society. We realised that around 45 percent of people in a city like Bengaluru travel by bus and another 45 percent use two and three-wheelers. While the world's focus has been on developing electric cars for personal mobility, we decided to focus on public transport, shared mobility and two-wheelers. These vehicles are driven the most and create the maximum pollution.
SUN Mobility can impact over 80 percent of mobility in India. It is an Indian solution that can be globally deployed. Our smart mobility solution involves an interoperable energy infrastructure platform that will help accelerate adoption of EVs. Our solution is designed to scale and to provide a cost-benefit outcome to the customer and therefore can create a meaningful impact on civil society and the environment.
We need solutions fast because of rapid environmental decline in India. Our dependence on fossil fuels is also cause for concern. Another reason for pressing the green button is jobs: the renewables sector provides employment.
India has the opportunity to create a global differentiation and lead this transformation in mobility. Currently, we are looking at this conversion as a challenge, impacting jobs in the auto industry. But we need to consider the larger picture. After all, we have the right skills sets — we have led in small cars, electronics manufacturing and IT software. And, we have an expanding entrepreneur community full of zeal to change society.
Our renewable energy reserves are increasing rapidly with strong government backing. India is all set to achieve its target of installing 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, on the back of new schemes like floating solar, manufacturing-linked solar, and offshore wind projects. Solar energy makes up 100 GW of this target. To put this in perspective, if all the 30 million vehicles produced in India in 2022 were electric, we would need only 25 GW of solar energy to power them, just 25 percent of the target that India is planning. Running mobility on renewable energy is no longer a scenario of the future, but a reality.
The auto industry is over 7 percent of our GDP and will go through major transformation as we go electric. New investments will be required that will create new jobs in the supply chain, in manufacturing and infrastructure. This will further augment the jobs created by renewable energy that will power electric mobility. By building the ecosystem in India we also have a large opportunity to become an EV export hub globally.
The current question is: given the right climate, resources and policy interventions, how do we integrate these agents of change into the ecosystem?
It is important, first of all, to create the right ecosystem, one that will include energy providers, mobility solution providers, OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), suppliers, policy bodies and so on — all coming together to drive this transformation.
We should not forget to integrate start-ups as we go along. If we create the right ecosystem, entrepreneurs will innovate and flourish.
In this big transformation, the government has a role to play — first, of providing the vision. India is ready to lead, but there needs to be a larger vision, which is beyond individuals and organisations. Along with vision, we need a set of policies to enable clean energy transportation. The automobile industry, growing at 9 percent, provides a great opportunity for us to pivot it and move towards creating a new India that is cleaner, green and safer.
Social activism or politics by other means?
Long road to Smartpur could be made much shorter ?

The Sea The Sea: The Sweet Sound of Lush Melodies & Intimate Harmonies
Events, Features, Music Reviews, Musicians, Concerts
The Sea The Sea returns to Café Paradiso in Fairfield on August 5.
Winners of the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival, The Sea The Sea is the duo of Mira Stanley and Chuck E. Costa, but this time they're touring a brand new album—with an even fuller sound—as a dynamic four-piece.
At the heart of this project are the smooth, intricate harmonies anchored by Chuck and Mira's award-winning songwriting. Their genuinely intimate performances evoke the likes of contemporary duos like the Weepies, the Swell Season, and the Civil Wars. But The Sea The Sea has decidedly carved out a niche with their unique blend of voices and their own brand of seamless phrasing.
"Two voices that blend like smoke and air. Like night and a whisper. Two distinct award-winning songwriters that meet in the mercury, collide and create emotionally spare music. Simple and true." —Amy Speace
Mira is a seasoned performer (Mountain Stage, NPR, PBS) who combines her extensive training in dance, theater, and music with the folky roots she cultivated growing up in the wings of Mountain Stage as the daughter of its musical director, Ron Sowell.
Chuck has been raising his profile on the festival and coffeehouse circuit with years of touring as a solo artist. Chuck, hailed as "sensitive, introspective . . . inspired" (New York Times), has independently released five albums and has garnered many songwriting accolades (Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Falcon Ridge "Most Wanted," Telluride Bluegrass Troubadour).
"…two of the loveliest male-female voices you might ever hear this or any other year." —Michael Bialas, Huffington Post
The band just released their sophomore full-length album From The Light and is currently touring the U.S. with Cara May Gorman (vocals, synthesizer) and drummer and percussionist Stephen Struss.
Tickets for the August 5 show are $10 in advance (at CafeParadiso.net or at the cafe), $12 at the door. Showtime is 8 p.m.

Home ISP Register.com Lands TLD Deal in Brazil
Register.com Lands TLD Deal in Brazil
By Ryan Naraine | June 19, 2001
With momentum building towards the rollout of new Top Level Domains (TLD) later this year, New York-based Register.com on Tuesday announced a deal to power URL registrations in Brazil.
Register.com , which will benefit from the registries for two of the seven new TLDs, said it would partner with Registro Brazil to offer full-service domain registration in Latin America's largest Internet market.
Previously, Registro Brazil was only allowed to sign up domains with the .COM, .NET or .ORG suffixes but the new partnership with Register.com would clear the way for registrations of all domain names, including special-use country codes and names with multilingual characters.
Register.com director of communications Shonna Keogan said the partnership also allows the Brazilian registrar to sell Register.com's CommerceLock digital security certificates to its end users.
"Brazil is by far the largest Internet market in Latin America. There are nine million Net users in Brazil alone so this is a very significant partnership for us."
Keogan said Register.com would collect a per-registration fee based on the volume of registrations done through the new partnership. She declined to provide details of the fee structure.
Last November, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved the rollout of seven new TLDs, including the .PRO suffix, which will be managed by Register.com, in partnership with U.K-based Virtual Internet.
Register.com will also serve as the registry for the .INFO domain name, as part of the Afilias registrar consortium.

KABOOM! Navy Gets A Laser Gun, Starts Blowing Things Up
The American Navy has introduced a laser weapon system that's cheap, reliable, and can be set to stun or kill.
Ladies and gentlemen. For over a century, scientists, military tacticians, and sci-fan fans alike asked a single question: When will wars be fought with laser guns? Now we seem to be approaching that reality, especially if information from the American Navy is anything to go on. Over the course of operational demonstrations in the Arabian Gulf, the USS Ponce used a prototype laser weapon system to destroy moving test targets, and literally shoot a flying drone out of the sky. But perhaps the strangest part? The entire system is controlled from a video game styled controller.
"Laser weapons are powerful, affordable and will play a vital role in the future of naval combat operations," said chief of naval research, Rear Admiral Matthew L. Klunder. "We ran this particular weapon, a prototype, through some extremely tough paces, and it locked on and destroyed the targets we designated with near-instantaneous lethality."
Don't take that lethality comment completely to heart; these lasers can do a lot more than kill. The laser weapon system, called LaWS, has a range of escalation options. While it can be set to destroy, it's also programmed with non-lethal measures like dazzling or disabling targets.
You read that right. Laser guns are real, and they can be set to stun or kill.
But perhaps you're asking why, outside of non-lethal options, we'd want LaWS over traditional armaments? First of all, you have no soul. Second of all, lasers are amazingly cost effective. Your average kinetic missile usually costs millions of dollars to produce, and contains fuel and gunpowder that could harm the crew in an accident. The laser system is safer, since it runs entirely on electricity, and is cheaper to install and fire. For example, it only costs a single dollar to fire a shot from this weapon, which is far cheaper than most bullets.
[gallery=3616]
"At less than a dollar per shot, there's no question about the value LaWS provides," Klunder continued. "With affordability a serious concern for our defense budgets, this will more effectively manage resources to ensure our Sailors and Marines are never in a fair fight."
What's more, LaWS operated seamlessly with preexisting ship defense systems, and worked perfectly in a variety of adverse weather conditions. That's all incredibly impressive for a technology that hasn't even been deployed in combat yet. Either way, you should certainly expect to see more of this technology in the future.

Not exactly pew-pew lasers. More like "Things will explode and you won't know why".
Good going guys.

While this is cool, I have to question the range on that. Yeah, it's cheaper then a missile, but a missile can fly for a hundred miles or more to a target.
Not to mention the need for better/larger power plants for better lasers. Yeah, it's cool, but right now the navy is seriously worried about keeping it's ships and aircraft from breaking, due to budgets being cut at the same time it's being asked to do more.

Well trek is part of the naval vernacular (in the RCN one of the reasons for a ship being late is "Warp drive offline, reverting to impulse").
Zontar said:
True, but there's got to be something really special about being able to quote Trek and not be semi-fallacious about it. Sure its laser and not "phaser" but damn thats close enough and it has a stun function... c'mon!
I want to see it cut a mountain in half.
ccggenius12
I just want to note the name of the ship on which this cutting edge piece of technology is mounted. Am I mistaken, or is the laser mounted on the deck of what is effectively the "USS Idiot"?
Dalisclock said:
In my opinion its going to be purposed the same as the German static laser guns - defensive purposes. they may not be able to blow up enemy targets 100 kilometers away, however they sure as hell can blow up any incoming missiles thus leaving your ship... afloat.
Fast to aim, 100% precision and cheaper ammunition (especially in nuclear based warships). beats flack artillery any day.

I'm reading it as meaning
"a man given to ostentatious or effeminate display in manners, speech, dress, etc"
"another word for pimp"
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ponce
Given the flashy technology I think calling the ship the USS Pimp seems about right
Xan Krieger said:
I guess I'd just heard it misused a lot. In that case, can I point out the irony in an invisible weapon being mounted on the USS Ostentatious? I feel like the weapon needs to take up roughly 3/4 of the ship, and fire rainbows.
I looked at a few dictionary sites and it all said roughly the same meaning. That said there's nothing stopping us from putting a big prism on the front of the laser and killing the enemy in a way as beautiful as it is insane.
Only if it used the proper music.
EDIT: To keep my science cred up, they're probably not (read: 99% sure) using a white light. Lasers tend to be a narrow or single frequency of light, it wouldn't diffract into a rainbow.
TheSYLOH
Ok the laser is cool and all...
But then there is the revelation that the Navy is controlling it with a souped up xbox controller.
That is what surprised me. Us PC Gamer Master Race people should be up in arms.
Also, I would be impressed if they showed me a video of that thing working in the rain.
You'll be surprised how much military hardware stops working in the rain.

England v New Zealand: Lancaster's men can run the All Blacks close
Twickenham encounter a key marker as to where both sides are ahead of next year's World Cup
The first and second pre-tournament favourites for next year's World Cup go head-to-head at Twickenham with England once again looking to close the gap on New Zealand.
The All Blacks whitewashed England last summer but, apart from the third and final Test in Hamilton, the tourists, who are 9/4 for victory on home soil, put up a sterling fight against the world champions.
New Zealand are rightly the 2/7 favourties for victory but with a whole host of markets available at Ladbrokes, Oliver Yew takes a look at three alternative bets for the action in west London.
New Zealand to win by 1-12 points @ 13/8
While the All Blacks are the dominant force in their clashes with England – New Zealand have won 13 out of the last 14 Test matches against the Red Rose – in recent years the gap between the two teams has been breached.
New Zealand ran riot in Hamilton back in June but we are discounting that result at the end of a very long season for England's players.
Before that England have got close to the All Blacks, including 2012's famous 38-21 victory and with their winning margin no more than 12 points in 4 of the last six meetings between the two sides the 13/8 available on a win for the visitors by 1-12 points looks appealing.
Home team to score a drop goal @ 3/1
At certain points during England's clash with the All Blacks the hosts will be on the back foot which makes taking points when they are on offer vital if you are to come close to toppling the best side in the world.
Stuart Lancaster's men will want to keep the scoreboard ticking over to put the visitors under pressure and with game management a key strength of Owen Farrell, don't be surprised to see him knock over a drop goal if the opportunity arises just as he did in the 2012 victory over the same opposition.
Semesa Rokoduguni to score at anytime @ 4/1
At Ladbrokes News we love a fairytale and we are backing the Bath winger, who is in the in-form winger in the Aviva Premiership, to make the dream start to his England career by crossing the white wash against the All Blacks.
While his rise to the international stage has been meteoric it's not happened without some excellent performances for his club and we are backing Rokoduguni, who has scored 11 tries in 29 appearances for Bath, to transfer his domestic form to the highest level.

Home Community News Inspiring Okeechobee: Daniel Kidd believes no kid is a lost cause
Inspiring Okeechobee: Daniel Kidd believes no kid is a lost cause
Oct 6th, 2019 · by Cathy Womble · Comments:
OKEECHOBEE — Daniel Kidd has changed a lot now that he has grown up. He said a friend asked him who turned him on to God. But really, no one turned him on to God, because he grew up in a church, but you know how you read that the pastor's child is the worst child? Well, his dad was not a pastor, he said, but it was kind of the same situation. He was very sheltered, and he was a good-looking kid. All the girls liked him in high school. He was good at sports, and he just had a selfishness about him, he said. It got to the point in high school where football was his god. Even though he went to church every Sunday, he idolized football and idolized the attention.
Special to the Lake Okeechobee News
Daniel Kidd is pictured here with his wife, Ashley, and son, DJ. He believes at the end of the day, everyone has a choice to make in life.
He was so popular, he could be in a room full of people who felt like they knew him and called him friend, but he felt like he was all alone. He thinks in life, everyone has a void and often they try to fill it with things like lust or greed or money or cars or relationships, things like that, even friendships, not all bad things. When you only fill it with those things, those are supplements. It's not the real things. He found himself being thirsty for the attention. He would get it; it was good, but then it would go away. The same thing happened with relationships. He would have them. They would be good, but then they would end. Each time the things left, he was more thirsty.
He knew what he was thirsting for, he said. He grew up in church, so he knew. He believes the enemy is not going to come to us with a big red tail like we grew up hearing. He is beautiful. Sin feels good. That's why people get strung out on drugs, because it feels good in the moment. There is a high. But, just like anything else, it goes away.
When the friend asked him who turned him on to God, he told her he didn't think anyone turned him on to God. He had just been distracted by lust, greed, money and other things he thought would grant him happiness. He thought those things would bring him a life full of joy, but in reality they only gave him a temporary satisfaction.
He believes everyone has a calling to serve, not only themselves but the world with the gift that God gave them. He believes everyone has a gift. He finally understood that God loves us so much that sometimes He allows us to lose everything that we put above Him, everything that is a distraction, to the point that all we have to choose between our own stubbornness and Him. "At the end of the day, everyone has a choice," he said. "God is a gentleman. He's not going to come into our lives, and just BOOM! You're going to serve me!"
In elementary school, Mr. Kidd was labeled ADHD. He often goes out to the high school and speaks to the kids now. He tries to mentor them because he has a background that makes it easier for him to understand the things they do sometimes. He remembers being in their shoes. He said, when you are in high school, you have tunnel vision. You only focus on one thing at a time, but the world is wide open. If you aren't prepared for that, sometimes you fall hard. Some get up running, but some aren't so lucky. They stay down. He graduated in 2009, and he sees some individuals who were out there doing the same things he was back then, and he looks at them now, and thinks, "Oh man! You don't look like we could have even gone to the same school." Life just takes a toll on some people, he said. Living that type of lifestyle and doing those things, drugs and partying. You can't keep trying to feed yourself off those supplements.
His wife, Ashley, is an ESE teacher, an inclusion teacher at the high school, so he has a new-found respect and love for anyone in education, because he hears the stories. When he was a kid, he had no idea what the teachers were trying to do for him. He had that tunnel vision he talked about. Now, he tries to be a mentor and a light for the kids. A lot of times when people see the label of ADHD or other labels, they don't want to deal with that kid.
"With ADHD, your mind runs 130,000 mph," he said. That's why kids are bouncing all over the place. "When I look at a truck, most people think, oh that's a nice red truck. I think, oh that's a nice red truck. The engine probably has this in it. I wonder what the pulley does to it to make it move. I wonder who made the pulley. Why is it shaped like that? Maybe it's shaped like that because of this. Oh that's why the belt…."
He found that having ADHD allowed him to hone in on his creativity. He loves to create, and he believes God created him to be a creator. If God is his father, then he also has that trait. He is like his dad. He enjoys and is good at photography, graphic design, painting, drawing and music. He loves anything like that. He is blessed to own his own business called Black Bull Media Films and he tries to give back to the community as much as he can. He takes pictures at the parades and at the high school and throughout the community, without charge. This goes back to what he said earlier about God giving each of us a gift. If you don't produce your gift to the world, you are robbing yourself and the universe. He believes that is true of everyone. "If you can cook pies, and you are amazing at it, then you are robbing the universe if you don't bake them," he said.
He wants kids to know he used to be one of those throw-away kids. He wasn't a bad kid, but he could definitely be a hindrance to a teacher trying to do her job. It got to the point where every time he entered the room, he was told to go to the dean's office. Times change, he said, but the antics stay the same, and he knows the kids are still doing the things he did. They think they can't do anything because they have too much against them or no one believes in them or they have some issue in their lives, but he likes spending time with the kids because he wants them to feel like they can reach out to him and know there is hope, and they can reach out to someone. He doesn't want them to feel like they have been dealt a hand of cards, and that's all there is to it. He knows what he is called to do, and he is not running from it anymore, he said. He is called to tell his story, to tell what he saw, and to tell what he knows, and that is that Christ saved him, and he went through some mess, but he knows the things he endured were all for the glory of God.

Do you want to buy tickets to see Michelle Obama tonight? It won't be cheap
Scott Craven
It's not too late to nab tickets tonight's Phoenix stop of Michelle Obama's book tour, but you'll likely pay triple the face value, if not more. Still, supply was relatively thin on the reseller market.
Roughly 130 tickets were available this morning on three of the most the most popular sites; Stubhub, Vividseats and TicketNetwork. Prices ranged from $308 to $9,150 (VIP suite). Most seats were available on the main floor, with none showing for sale in the cheaper third deck.
When tickets originally went on sale (at first to verified Ticketmaster buyers, then the general public), allotments sold out in 30 minutes.
In prior stops, it's been reported that 10 percent of tickets were set aside for schools and charities, making 4,500 seats available in Phoenix.
Today's 8 p.m. Phoenix stop at 5,000-seat Comerica Theatre is an extension of Obama's book tour, "Becoming: An Intimate Conversation with Michelle Obama." Obama will be joined onstage by longtime friend Valerie Jarrett, who was called "the ultimate Obama insider" by The New York Times.

An Interview with East Of The Wall: The Humbling River
East Of The Wall remains one of the most sonically engaging metal acts around today. The South Jersey-based collective, who author a befuddling dichotomy of visceral, pummeling sludge metal and discerning progressive rock meanderings, are among the most prolific of their ilk. Always looking forward, they release a new full-length just about every year, constantly redefining their sound and reaffirming their place of reverence among critics and contemporaries alike.
With a tour coming up and studio time booked for their next album, the band released the single "I'm Always Fighting Drago" in February. All proceeds from the song will go towards rebuilding Translator Audio studios. The Brooklyn studio, run by producer/engineer Andrew Schneider (who recorded the band's last effort, The Apologist), was devastated by rapid flooding during Hurricane Sandy. When thousands of gallons of water rushed through the studio this past October, over 20 years of gear went with it.
Bassist/vocalist Chris Alfano took a few minutes out of a work day to talk about Translator Audio, the vinyl reissue of East Of The Wall's first full-length, to clear up the band's convoluted lineup situation and talk about the new East Of The Wall record coming this October.
East Of The Wall are so prolific when it comes to putting out new material every year, so why is it that you are releasing your first record, Farmer's Almanac, now on vinyl?
Usually with vinyl and stuff like that it's not a matter of us deciding when we want to do it and more just taking whatever opportunity we can to put it out. Vinyl is more expensive to put out. It's more niche—I guess eventually it'll be more popular than CDs as things keep moving digital—but still it always seems like a gamble. You see these vinyl labels popping up and then disappearing. For our next record we're still not 100 percent sure who's putting out the vinyl, or if it will even be put out on vinyl. So [for] Farmer's Almanac, we had an opportunity to put it out on vinyl and we grabbed it.
So a vinyl distributor or label came and said they would pay for it?
Yeah. It's actually Kevin Conway, our old guitarist, the label that he has with Greg [Meisenberg] from A Fucking Elephant, Nefarious Industries. In, at least our experience, when someone wants to put out your vinyl, it's really because they're a fan of a certain thing. It's not so much because it's a good business investment, but they want to put it out.
For Kevin, that was his first record that he ever [played on] and released. For Greg, it's his favorite record of ours and yet it was never on vinyl before. They have a sentimental attachment to it and it just worked out.
I'm glad you mentioned former guitarist Kevin Conway. We did an interview last spring and he was trying to give me the lowdown on the lineup, but now that he's out of the band, could you tell what the deal is?
So compared to the last two records, the change is that Kevin and Brett [Bamberger, bass] are out of the band now. Kevin actually had quit the band a little while ago. In fact, when we did our last tour, last March with Black Tusk, he had already given us notice that it was going to be his last tour with the band. The guy who replaced him was Ray Suhy, who previously was our touring guitarist. [Guitarist/vocalist] Matt Lupo doesn't tour with the band. He just writes with us at home and plays local shows. When we go on tour, we usually find a guy to play his guitar parts. So Ray is the guy who plays Matt's guitar parts on tour. When Kevin left, Ray took his position.
Ray is from Maine or something, right?
Yeah, it's kind of a weird situation we're in actually. Often when we're rehearsing, it's without him. We'll do a lot of file trading. He'll come down like once a month and we'll do these long sessions, where we'll try and write as much as we can when he's down.
So we still have to find someone to play Matt Lupo's parts on tour. On this coming tour, Carmine [Laietta V.] from the band Hull is going to be on tour with us. Sometimes we'll still go as a four-piece. We're talking about doing a European tour towards the end of the year and we'll probably do that as a four-piece, just for financial reasons.
So who plays your guitar parts live now that you've moved to bass?
I moved to bass and we've got a new guitar player who is also doing the melodic vocals now. That was a criteria that we were looking for. Ray replaced Kevin, but Ray isn't a vocalist. There was a time when Ray joined, but before Brett left, where we actually had no idea how we would handle the vocals for the next record. We figured we'd do what we always do and figure it out. But when Brett left, we decided to find someone—either a guitarist or bassist—and there was Greg Kuter, who was in some bands that played with us and we always knew he was one of the best vocalists we knew and a really good guitar player. We recruited him.
And I started out on bass, so I've always kind of been more comfortable on bass than on guitar.
Was it a foregone conclusion that you would move to bass when Brett left to join Revocation?
Not really. We were looking for either a guitarist or a bassist who could also sing. However, it's much easier to find a good guitarist than it is to find a good bassist, as I'm sure you know. And I kind of prefer bass to guitar anyway.
Brett's bass parts are pretty involved; are you planning on playing them true the way he did live or will you take some liberties?
Yeah, [I'll play Brett's parts]. Brett usually didn't play to the height of his abilities in this band. The only song of his that I'm not sure I can play is "Whisp Of Tow" because I never really focused on tapping. I'm sure I can figure it out eventually. The ethos of the band was always that we're not trying to be a hyper-technical band. Most of the time, Brett's bass parts were written more from a songwriting point of view than a technical point of view. Most of the stuff wasn't too bad to figure out. There are one or two songs that I'm not sure about. But besides that, everything on The Apologist is fine.
Why was it important to you guys to release that song "I'm Always Fighting Dragon" as a benefit for Translator Audio?
It kind of served two functions. The biggest was that we wanted to try and do something for the studio. It was [not] just that the studio was destroyed; it's that his brand new studio was destroyed. It wasn't technically the same studio we recorded The Apologist at. Really the studio is wherever Andrew Schneider and his gear is. Andrew had just moved his location to a new spot [in Brooklyn] and he had shut down his studio for a few months so he could build this new location.
He went into it with a couple people, like John [LaMacchia] from Candiria and a couple others. It was this facility where it was, sort of, two recording studios. They shared a live room, but they each had their own isolation booths. Then it was also a rehearsal spot for a bunch of studios—kind of similar to Backroom Studios up in North Jersey.
All those guys spent months building this brand new spot. It was brand new, it was pristine. They just had their grand opening party and three weeks later it was destroyed. And, it wasn't even—a lot of people in Jersey had some horrible stuff happen to them, but it was flooding, obviously there were some coast areas that were destroyed—but because of the layout of that area of Brooklyn, they didn't just have flooding, they had rushing water flying through. If you look at the photos, it wasn't like your average flood, the water came rushing through the place and tore doors off hinges and completely trashed the spot.
We wanted to try and do something, but we're not a big enough band where we can play a benefit show and get him thousands of dollars, but then we got talking about how it might be cool to put out a new song anyway. We put two and two together and said, "Let's make a single out of it and sell it and have the proceeds go to Translator Audio." We might do another push with that. We might tie it together with Matt's solo record or one of our old records and do another promo push to get more money going back towards Andrew.
Did you write many of the bass parts on the forthcoming East Of The Wall album?
This is that last one we wrote with Brett. A lot of the basslines Brett wrote, but we only had like two quick sessions. He wrote the foundation for what a lot of the basslines were going to be. Then I went in and embellished them a little bit. Most of the songs on this record were written with me on guitar. Then I had to go teach my guitar parts to Greg after he joined the band, learn the basslines the Brett had written and write basslines to the songs Brett was not involved with.
Well, the bass part in "Drago" really drives that song. Whether it was written by you or by Brett, it is really cool.
There've been a couple changes with the band over the years obviously, but we still try to keep the core idea of what the band is, with bass being a featured instrument. The type of bass tone is something that we try to keep as one of the defining characteristics of the band. There's certain defining characteristics that go into that, like using tube heads, a specific type of distortion, even the way it's picked—hard picking on the bridge pickup. Brett and I were playing in bands together since 1996, and I've been his engineer the whole time. I know what goes into his bass tone. A lot of it, he developed and I knew what he was doing when he did it. I tried to make sure that the legacy of what the bass was in the band is still being respected.
Who does the clean vocals on "Drago?"
That's our new guitarist Greg. That's the main thing that drew us to him in the first place; he's [maybe] the best clean vocalist we've ever worked with. There are some songs on the new record where he does even more vocals than me. We've had melodic vocals for the last two records, but we're going to focus a bit more on some of that stuff. That might be a slight change on the next record. It doesn't affect the music… we're not doing four-minute pop songs. Musically the process is still the same, we're not restructuring the songs, but I am honestly thankful that I'm doing a little less screaming on some songs. It's more of a 50/50 balance so far between the screaming and the melodic vocals.
Greg actually doesn't come from a metal background. He had played in rock bands and folk bands back in the day. His bands had some proggy influences, but he'd really never played metal before.
When will the new record come out?
We have a definite release date for October unless something changes. We already have studio time booked. We're going to Trax East at the end of May to do drums. Then we're going up to a studio in Maine to do guitars and vocals. I'm not sure where I'm going to do my bass. I'm going to track bass along with the drums. If we have time to do punches and fixes, I'll keep those bass parts. Otherwise, I'll record bass in Maine. We go back to Trax East to mix in July. The album will be out in October.
Anything you want to add?
We're going on tour in April. The dates are up on our website and Facebook. The main this is to pick up the single because it goes to Translator Audio and every dollar that they get is a big deal when most of your gear is destroyed. Andrew has been working out of other studios now. Fortunately he's known enough that people are seeking him out and having him record by them. He was just on-location in London. We probably would have gone back and done our next record with him if he had a studio in the area.
Keep an eye out because we'll be doing another push for that single for anyone who wants to chip in and support that.
East Of The Wall will play at the Brighton Bar on April 12, The Studio At Webster Hall on April 13, and Kung Fu Necktie in Philly on April 14. For more information or to buy "I'm Always Fighting Drago" and support Translator Audio's effort to rebuild, go to eastofthewall.com.

Container Corporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR), is a Navratna Public sector undertaking under the Indian Ministry of Railways. Incorporated in March 1988 under the Companies Act, CONCOR commenced operations in November 1989 taking over an existing network of seven inland container depots (ICDs) from Indian Railways. It now has a network of 63 ICDs/CFSs (Container Freight Stations) throughout India. Indian Railway's strategic initiative to containerize cargo transport put India on the intermodal freight transport map for the first time in 1966. Given India's size (almost 3,000 kilometers (1,900 mi) from North to South and East to West), rail transport is often a cheaper option for all cargo over medium and long distances, especially if the cost of inter-modal transfers can be reduced. Seeing thatcontainerizedd multi-modal door-to-door transport provided a solution to this problem, in 1966 Indian Railways entered the market for moving door-to-door domestic cargo in special DSO containers.

Ferocious lo-fi group
After 12 hours on the road, Aaron Riches isn't much for talking. The vocalist/guitarist for Toronto low-fi group Royal City seems somewhat in a daze, perhaps induced by reading during the trip. Engrossed in a Bob Dylan biography, Riches rises when discussing his idol.
"You can't help but just sort of be at once inspired but also intimidated by the sort of ferociousness and creativity at the beginning [of his career]," Riches says. "You can never hope to aspire to that but be a minor in comparison.
"There's only one Dylan. The rest of [us] will only be fucking footnotes."
Royal City has a such a strained ferociousness. The Toronto-based band play acoustic-pop Hayden fans can warm to and early Wilco fans can swoon to. Their carefree offerings remind one of a show they walked into by accident and left totally drained yet refreshed.
For Riches, it's a complete feeling. His involvement with drummer Nathan Lawr, bassist Simon Osborne and guitarist Jim Guthrie are enough for him to forget his musical past. He feigns partial amnesia when comparing Royal City to his past two solo albums.
"I don't know if I've done any of those things," he says. "Just what's happening now is enough.
"I don't really care for my own life. I try and better myself in the smaller things I do in my private life but no, I don't analyze my own life."
Royal City's debut album At Rush Hour the Cars is something not easily analyzed. Riches' drawn-out and weary vocals shade sometimes apathetic lyrics. Yet for a seemingly deep guy, he doesn't put his own words in context.
"I have my own thoughts but they don't really matter any more than what time I had lunch today," he says rather dryly. "Playing in a band you get this kind of mission–it's not this precious little thing you do in your bedroom. I don't want to be a singer/songwriter."
With his new band, Riches feels part of an experiment. He's just trying to see how far the thing can go. The latest thing has the band opening for Sarah Harmer across Canada, including a stop at the MacEwan Hall Ballroom Thurs., April 5. Riches says the band is self-sufficient.
"We don't need a major label, we don't need anything," he says. "All we need is a band and an amplifier. We'll play wherever the fuck we can play, we don't care. We're like Woody Guthrie; we'll play wherever the people are."

[Krista] Hello, James Marsden.
Finally testosterone.
A singing introduction.
Into our little studio here at Sundance.
Day five, Bachelorette.
I loved, yeah, go ahead.
Sorry. No, I was saying it was nice
listening to all the ladies get interviewed.
Right, now you're in the hot seat.
Have you thought of a lot
of sound bytes and stuff? Just sorta close it out.
Now I'm gonna use all their stuff.
And actually, I'm gonna go into an Australian accent now.
Oh my god. 'Cause listening to Rebel
talk all day, it's involuntary.
It just comes out.
Oh my god, it's so good. (laughing)
We have to give you a name though--
What a shameless actor.
Just waits to go on camera to show off his
Australian accent. Rebel.
Rebel Wilson impersonation.
When is Enchanted 2 gonna come to Sundance by the way?
It's a Sundance movie,
isn't it? I know, right?
Just screams Sundance.
Couldn't they do a different take on it and get it here?
Yeah, yeah, start thinking about that.
I don't know if that movie's gonna get made.
Hopefully it will eventually, but--
You know, we are playing animated characters
who don't age.
And that's maybe a problem.
Yeah, they can work it. Amy and I are like.
(inhales)
Get that. (fingers snapping)
Get that on the books.
But this actually, you got to play opposite of Bachelorette,
I mean, in the movie Bachelorette,
opposite of Prince Charming.
You were a real dick!
You were so arrogant and great!
It was so much fun. I know, it was fun.
Well, it's fun to play that character that's
so close to who you are in real life,
but too often it's always character roles for me.
Yeah, it was fun because it was, you know,
the fun of playing that type of role is that
he's just completely unapologetically that sorta douchebag.
So it's kinda like playing a good villain.
There's a delicious element to them.
When I read the script, it was, I don't know why,
this is why I wanted to do it.
It's not really why I wanted to do it,
but the description of the character said,
Trevor walks in, sort of charming debonair,
graduated magna cum laude, and has definitely
slept with prostitutes. (laughing)
Like, hmm. That's very funny.
I don't know who this gentleman is,
but let's explore it. You think you can find him?
Yeah, yeah, it was all in Leslye's script, so.
But it's fun.
The girls in this movie are very, sort of,
usually like the male roles.
It's like the Vince Vaughn's Swingers character,
but it's like the women in this movie that are like
the most raunchy of the bunch.
Are you having a good time this Sundance?
Yeah, I am.
It's a bit busy, I've got this other
film here too, called Robot & Frank
with Frank Langella. Oh yeah, exactly.
I haven't seen that movie, but people love that.
It's very different than this obviously.
Is there a robot in it?
Yeah, it takes place 10 years in the future,
and so it's just far enough in the future that you can see,
you know, it's not like a very slick futuristic movie.
It's like there's a few new cars and a little
technological advancements, but you know,
we live in world 10 years in the future where robots
are installed in homes as caretakers for the elderly.
He's suffering from early dementia,
so he develops this relationship with the robot.
And then the movie turns into a whole caper.
He's ex-cat burglar, and so he teaches the robot.
Giving away the whole plot.
No, it's great, I can't wait.
(laughing) No, let's go see it.
You gotta see it.
It's a really charming, disarming movie.
Right, well, it's great to see you.
Good to see you as well. Thank you for stopping by,
and I'll keep my fingers crossed for Enchanted 2.
Thank you, I was hoping I'll scare away the whole audience
after Bachelorette. No, that'll be all right.
That'll be all right.
