RUSIA di pintu GERBANG ? Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat, jurucakap Pentagon DIPANGGANG di atas perluasan NATO . . .

Still from youtube channel (U.S. Department of State)

tanahMALAyu Jurucakap Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat Jen Psaki dan Laksamana Pentagon Setiausaha Akhbar. John Kirby telah dicabar atas tuntutan Jabatan Per-tahanan bahawa Amerika Syarikat harus "deal" dengan angkatan tentera Rusia "mampu dan moden" yang paling dekat dengan NATO.

Menteri Pertahanan Rusia Sergey Shoigu menyatakan expressed "membimbang-kan" & "kejutan" pd Rabu membuat ucapan oleh Setiausaha Pertahanan Amerika Syarikat Chuck Hagel selama Persatuan persidangan tahunan Amerika Syarikat Tentera. Hagel menyatakan bahawa pasukan bersenjata "harus berurusan dengan revisionis Rusia - dgn tentera moden & handal yang dimiliki - Yang paling dekat dgn NATO"

Semasa taklimat Jabatan Negara pd hari Jumaat, bagaimanapun, seorang war-tawan AP mencadangkan bahawa ia akan menjadi lebih logik untuk mengatakan bahawa "NATO telah bergerak lebih dekat dengan sempadan Rusia."

"Adakah ia tidak logik untuk melihat ini & berkata - sebab mengapa tentera Rusia adalah yang paling dekat dengan NATO, adalah kerana NATO mengembang," kata wartawan Matt Lee.

"Itulah cara [Rusia] Presiden Putin mungkin melihat hal itu, itu pasti bukan cara kita melihatnya," kata Kirby dalam menanggapi hujah wartawan.

Walaupun dia akhirnya mengakui bahawa NATO tlh berkembang, Kirby menambah bahawa "NATO tidak merupakan pakatan anti-Rusia, ia merupakan satu ikatan keamanan."

RUSSIAN at the gates? US State Dept, Pentagon Spokespersons GRILLED Over NATO EXPANSION . . .

US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki and Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby have been challenged over the Department of Defense's claims that the US must “deal” with “modern and capable” Russian armed forces on NATO's doorstep.

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu expressed “grave concern” and “surprise” at a Wednesday speech made by US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel during the Association of the United States Army’s annual conference. Hagel declared that US armed forces "must deal with a revisionist Russia - with its modern and capable army - on NATO's doorstep.”


During a State Department briefing on Friday, however, an AP journalist suggested that it would be more logical to say that “NATO has moved closer to Russia’s borders.”

“Is it not logical to look at this and say – the reason why Russia’s army is on NATO’s doorstep, is because NATO expands,” journalist Matt Lee said.

“That’s the way [Russian] President Putin probably looks at it, it’s certainly not the way that we look at it,” Kirby said in response to the journalist’s reasoning.

Though he eventually admitted that NATO has expanded, Kirby added that “NATO is not an anti-Russia alliance, it is a security alliance.”



"Ia bukan NATO yg memesan tan batalion taktikal & tentera ke Ukraine sempadan [itu]," kata Kirby, sebelum diingatkan bahawa Ukraine bukan sebahagian dari NATO.

Kirby kemudian menolak untuk bersetuju dengan fakta bahawa Rusia dimengerti boleh melihat perluasan NATO sebagai "ancaman", terutama mengingat bahwa perikatan wujud sebagai "anti-Soviet" untuk setengah abad.

"Saya tidak akan berpura-pura tahu apa yang berlaku dalam fikiran Presiden Putin atau komander tentera Rusia . . . Maksud saya, saya hampir tidak punya gelar sejarah di University of South Florida," Kirby bergurau, mengelakkan soalan.

Kirby memberi jaminan bahawa langkah NATO tidak "bermusuhan & mengan-cam," tetapi lebih kepada soal keselamatan. Beliau menambah bahawa beliau "bim-bang tentang mereka [Rusia] bergerak di seluruh Ukraine." Psaki kemudian dipo-tong, berkata bahawa "negara2 lain merasa terancam," dan mendesak perbualan untuk meneruskan perjalanan.

Dari segi ancaman baru di sempadan NATO, Menteri Pertahanan Rusia Sergey Shoigu berkata pd hari Jumaat bahawa Amerika Syarikat yang telah "keras kepala menghampiri . . . lebih dekat dengan pintu."

Hubungan antara Rusia dan NATO telah tegang sejak perikatan menuduh Rusia terlibat dalam konflik Ukraine - tuntutan Rusia telah secara berterusan menafikan.

Berikutan kesertaan Crimea ke Rusia pd bulan Mac, Amerika Syarikat dan Eropah menghujani Moscow dengan sekatan. NATO juga ketara meningkatkan kehadiran tenteranya dekat sempadan Rusia, terutamanya di Poland & negara2 bekas Soviet Baltik dari Latvia, Lithuania dan Estonia, yg telah menyatakan keprihatinan atas potensi serangan Rusia ke wilayah mereka.

“It wasn’t NATO that was ordering tons of tactical battalions and army to [the] Ukraine border,” Kirby added, before being reminded that Ukraine is not part of NATO.

Kirby then refused to agree with the point that the Russians could understandably perceive NATO’s expansion as a “threat,” especially given that the alliance existed as “anti-Soviet” for half a century.

“I’m not going to pretend to know what goes in President Putin’s mind or Russian military commanders . . . I mean, I barely got a history degree at the University of South Florida,” Kirby joked, dodging the question.

Kirby assured that NATO's moves were not “hostile and threatening,” but rather a matter of security. He added that he was “worried about their [Russia’s] moves around Ukraine.” Psaki then cut in, saying that “other countries feel threatened,” and urged the conversation to move on.

In terms of new threats at NATO’s borders, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Friday that it is the US which has been “stubbornly approaching . . . closer to our doors.”

Relations between Russia and NATO have been tense since the alliance accused Russia of becoming involved in the Ukrainian conflict – a claim Russia has conti-nuously denied.

Following Crimea's accession to Russia in March, the US and Europe bombarded Moscow with sanctions. NATO also significantly increased its military presence near Russia's borders, especially in Poland and the former Soviet Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, which have expressed concern at the potential for Russian incursions into their territories.

PONDOK Cetak-3D untuk MEREVOLUSI Binaan RUMAH di NEGARA-negara MISKIN . . .

Photo from WASProject website

tanahMALAyu Sebuah syarikat Itali percaya mereka telah datang dengan idea2 yang boleh memperbaiki kehidupan beratus-ratus juta. Mereka tlh mengembang-kan sebuah pencetak mudah diangkut yang boleh membina rumah2 dari bahan-bahan semula jadi, seperti lumpur atau tanah liat.

Teknologi ini agak mudah, dan telah direka oleh syarikat dari Itali, WASP (Sim-panan Projek Lanjutan di DUNIA), dan salah satu daripada sifat2 utamanya adalah ia boleh dipasang dalam jangka 2 jam.

Pencetak mempunyai 3 senjata dgn jangkauan 6 meter tingginya. Sehingga dapat membina rumah-rumah ke tahap yang lebih besar daripada ini biasanya terjadi dengan pondok lumpur. Satu lagi perbezaan adalah kaedah pembinaan, yang men-jadikan kediaman lebih kukuh. Menggunakan persegi blok besar Alih-alih, segi 3 kecil yang digunakan, yang membolehkan rumah untuk menanggung beban yang lebih besar.

3D-printed HUTS to REVOLUTIONIZE Home BUILDING 
in poor COUNTRIES . . .

An Italian company believes they have come up with an idea that could improve the lives of hundreds of millions. They have developed an easily transportable printer that can build houses out of natural materials, such as mud or clay.

The technology is relatively simple, and was designed by the Italian based company, WASP (World’s Advanced Saving Project), and one of its main attributes is it can be assembled in two hours.

The printer has three arms with a six-meter reach in height. So it can build houses to a much greater height than is usually the case with a mud hut. Another difference is the method of construction, which makes the dwelling much stronger. Instead of using large square blocks, small triangles are used, allowing the house to bear a much greater load.



Keuntungan lain adalah bentuk-bentuk ini kering lebih cepat, membuat rumah yang dihuni lebih cepat, sementara tidak ada bahan-bahan yang perlu diimport: segala sesuatu yang diperlukan utk membina sebuah rumah lumpur boleh didapati di kawasan membangun ini.

Syarikat Itali mempamerkan di sebuah pameran sains di Rom di awal bulan. Waktu & ruang kekangan bermakna mereka tidak boleh membuat sebuah rumah 3 meter di sana. Tetapi mereka meletakkan teknologi mereka utk ujian, mewujudkan satu model sawit berukuran, menurut ‘Make Magazine’.

Another advantage is these shapes dry much faster, making the house inhabitable quicker, while no materials need to be imported: everything required to build a mud house can be found in the build’s vicinity.

The Italian company exhibited at a science fair in Rome earlier in the month. Time and space constraints meant they were unable to create a three meter house there. But they put their technology to the test, creating a palm sized model, according to Make Magazine.

Rencana WASP kepada 3D Cetak Rumah di Negara Membangun Menggunakan 6 Meter 3D Tall Pencetak (WASP Plans to 3D Print Homes in Developing Nations Using 6 Meter Tall 3D Printer): http://3dprint.com/17179/wasp-3d-printed-houses/  10:21 AM - 1 Oct 2014

Nama syarikat, WASP, tidak dipilih secara tidak sengaja. Projek yang akan model reka bentuk  rumah2 Itali pd bagaimana lebah tukang periuk membuat sarangnya, menurut laman web IFL Sains. Serangga ini menggunakan lumpur & rambut, yg ia membungkuk ke dalam bentuk untuk membina rumah yang kukuh.

WASP adalah organisasi percetakan 3D yg ke-2 terbesar di Itali & menggunakan wang yang mereka peroleh daripada jualan komersial pencetak untuk membiayai projek ini. Mereka berharap untuk membina rumah saiz penuh pertama mereka pada awal 2015.

The company name, WASP, was not chosen by accident. The Italian based project modeled the design of the houses on how the potter wasp builds its nest, according to the website IFL Science. The insect uses mud and hair, which it bends into shape to construct a sturdy home.

WASP are the second largest 3D printing organization in Italy and are using the money they earn from the commercial sale of their printers to fund this project. They hope to construct their first full size house in early 2015.

PEJUANG ISIS Menarik Diri dari DIPERANGI Kobani Syria - sumber RT



tanahMALAyu Pejuang Negara Islam telah dihalau keluar dari Kobani, bandar Kurdish yang melintasi sempadan Syria-Turki, selepas minggu pertempuran berat, menurut sumber-sumber Kurdi demikian kepada RT.

Seorang komandan Kurdi berkata ISIS berundur semalam - menarik balik sebanyak 2 km sebelah timur dan 9 km sebelah barat.

Orang Kurd kini penjelasan kota. Kelompok Islam tinggalkan di belakang pelaku bom bunuh diri bersembunyi di runtuhan bangunan-bangunan di bandar.

"Kita masih boleh mendengar tembakan dan letupan sporadis yang datang dari Kobani," RT Murad Gazdiev laporan dari sempadan Turki-Syria.

Walau bagaimanapun, pengumuman kemenangan dari pejuang Kurdis masih belum dibuat kerana seluruh kota itu tidak dijamin.

ISIS fighters WITHDRAW from Syria's EMBATTLED 
Kobani - RT SOURCES . . .

Islamic State fighters have been driven out of Kobani, the Kurdish town that strad-dles the Syrian-Turkish border, after weeks of heavy fighting, according to Kurdish sources speaking to RT.

A Kurdish commander said that ISIS retreated overnight – withdrawing by 2 km east and 9 km west.

The Kurds are now clearing the city. The Islamists have left behind suicide bombers hiding in the ruins of the various buildings in the city.

"We can still hear sporadic gunfire and explosions coming from Kobani," RT's Murad Gazdiev reports from the Turkish-Syrian border.

However, a victory announcement from the Kurdish fighters is yet to be made because the whole of the city has not been secured.


Hanya beberapa hari lalu Kobani telah dihapus kira2nya dan telah diramalkan jatuh kepada pejuang IS, bahkan oleh sekutu Kurdis terdekat. Militan Negara Islam mengawal hampir keseluruhan sempadan di antara Syria dan Turki jadi ia adalah penting bagi mereka yang strategik untuk mengawal bandar sempadan.

Pada hari Rabu dan Khamis sahaja lebih dari 14 serangan bom dilakukan di mana 16 bangunan di Kobani telah musnah, sumber mengatakan kepada Haaretz.

Akhbar itu juga melaporkan bahawa sehingga 20 % peratus dpd bandar mungkin masih dikawal oleh militan IS. Pertempuran untuk bandar sempadan strategik yang penting telah menewaskan hampir 600 orang.

Satu kenyataan hari ini dari US Komando Pusat mengatakan bahawa serangan udara "telah terus melambat IS pendahuluan, tetapi keadaan keselamatan di darat di Kobani masih rapuh." Ia juga memberi amaran "Kami memerlukan lebih banyak serangan udara, dan juga senjata dan peluru untuk melawan mereka di atas darat."

Berita dari Kobani datang sebagai baru PBB Hak Asasi Manusia Pesuruhjaya Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein, berkata IS adalah ", pergerakan berpotensi pembunuhan yang kejam."

Beliau berkata bahawa kumpulan adalah "hasil dari perkahwinan yang sesat dan mematikan satu bentuk baru nihilisme dengan era digital."

Only a few days ago Kobani had been written off and was predicted to fall to IS fighters, even by the Kurds' closest allies. The Islamic State militants control almost entire border between Syria and Turkey so it was vital for them strategically to take control of the border town.

On Wednesday and Thursday alone more than 14 bombing raids were carried out in which 16 buildings in Kobani were destroyed, sources told Haaretz.

The newspaper also reported that up to 20 percent of the town may still be controlled by IS militants. The battle for the strategically-important border town has already cost the lives of nearly 600 people.

A Thursday statement from US Central Command said that the airstrikes “had continued to slow IS advances, but that the security situation on the ground in Kobani remains tenuous.” It also warned “We need more airstrikes, as well as weaponry and ammunition to fight them on the ground.”

The news from Kobani comes as the new UN Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein, said that the IS is “a diabolical, potentially genocidal movement.”

He said that group is “the product of a perverse and lethal marriage of a new form of nihilism with the digital age.”
