Welcome to Episode 7 of Spear Born of Fire.
In this episode, I will finish forging, grinding and heat treating the spear; culminating in
a polish that reveals the beautiful pattern.
After etching the spearhead in ferric chloride in the last episode, I noticed that the pattern
was a little bit distorted and am now forging the bevels a little bit more to correct the
overall appearance.
Forging with water on the anvil, helps with reducing scale since when the water gets trapped
underneath the hot metal it evaporates and blows the scale off.
As before if you like these videos and want to see more, please share them on your social
networks; wide and far.
thank you.
As you may notice, I am making only very slight correction and frequently check the shape
of the spear.
Another area that requires final corrections is the socket.
If you look closely you will also notice that it did not completely weld at the very end
of it.
That's unfortunate, but there is nothing I can do about it at this point.
Finally, all forging has been completed.
The next step is to remove scale with the wire brush and then it's off to the grinder.
The slack portion of the belt makes grinding round sections a little bit easier.
The socket material is not very thick, so I also need to be careful to not remove too
much material.
However, it is pretty exciting that the spearhead has progressed to this stage.
Now, the one step where I might still be able to really screw everything up is during heat
treating.
You may notice that I am grinding the blade on the platen.
I need to be careful to not remove too much thicknes from the spine and probably would
be better off grinding a concave profile on a big grinding wheel.
Whenever I heat treat, I am trying to remove any vertical grinder marks since they might
lead to cracks when quenching.
Another moment of truth has arrived.
I have prepared my quench tank of high-speed quenching oil and will normalize the spear
once before quenching it.
Look closely and Watch the recalescence!
Did you notice the visible rise in temperature when the crystal structure changed?
If not, watch again.
It's pretty cool.
Without further adue, let's quench and harden the spear!
After heat treating, the pattern including the wolf teeth are clearly visible.
This is a great reward for all the work done so far.
Now, it's time to create the final profile on the grinder.
I will do this with progressively finer belts.
If you have followed me on my journey to create this spear, I hope the wait has been worth
it.
There is still a fair bit of work left such as creating a shaft and fitting the shaft
to the spearhead and you will see all of that in the next video.
Since the spearhead has been hardened, I need to frequently cool it down to maintain the
temper.
I find a slowly rocking motion of my whole body the easiest way to maintain an even grind.
When you closely look at the profile of a spear, you will notice that there are both
concave and convex sections.
How to really get that perfect is something I need to get much better at.
Alright, everything looks pretty good so far.
Before, I can place the spear in ferric chloride to bring out all the patterns, I need to clean
it and remove any oils that might interfere with etching.
I usually leave my blades in the ferric chloride solution for about 10 minutes but let's just
skip that wait.
What follows is my usualy routine after etching.
It involves some metal polish and some iron oxides.
This is what works mostly fine for me but that very much depends on the materials.
For this spear, I was using a wrought iron from a different source and it does not stand
out as much against the high carbon steel as I would have liked.
The metal polish helps with removing oxides left over from the ferric chloride treatment.
Alright, here is the polished pattern.
In the next and final episode, I will add a shaft to the spear and complete it.

The FUTURE of USB Storage!! - Duration: 8:35.
Hello and welcome to the show!
My name is Alex and this... yeah, this is TechFlow!
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Right.
We've had some time off, wanted to rethink a few things.
We're back with an absolutely banging video, in my opinion anyway.
We've got some awesome products on the table.
Kingston reached out and they said: We want to sponsor an episode on TechFlow, send you
out a load of gear and, yes, all of this at the end, we're doing a giveaway.
Don't skip it though.
Don't skip it.
We've got some cool stuff to talk about.
But there's a giveaway at the end so stay tuned for that.
Kingston have invented a way, somehow, to make USB, more specifically, USB storage,
interesting.
Let's take a look.
So, on my desk here, I've got my baby which is my MacBook.
And I love it to pieces.
The one thing that I don't like about it, though, is we don't have a normal USB port.
We've got four USB type C ports which I have grown to... accept.
I am used to using this machine now.
I've got numerous of these dongles in all of my bags.
In my bed-side table, in my cutlery draw downstairs - you never know when you're going
to need to whack one of these out because everything is still, you know, normal USB
including most USB storage nowadays.
I've got two examples of two memory sticks here.
Err, as you can see, normal USB and normal USB.
And if I've, if I'm, if I'm wanting to use, you know, any normal laptop or computer, nine times
out of ten I've got an access.
I've got access to a normal USB port, you know, to plug, to plug in some external storage, like that.
I want to take some files off this laptop and put them on here but I can't, right, so I have
to whack out this dongle, plug this in to here and it's just a faff and then that's
got to go in to there and, then, who wants that hanging about?
So, Kingston invented this little, unique piece of hardware.
Now this, this is mental.
This is the DataTraveler microDuo 3C.
Yes a mouthful.
But this thing - it's tiny - has got a lot of features.
In fact it's got more features than this big memory card and this big memory card, right.
Let's go over them.
So, for a start, this is 128 gigabytes capacity.
128 gigabytes in capacity.
Now, I've got a bunch of 16 gigabyte ones here that we're going to be giving away at
the end of this video, but, again, they're all the same thing except the capacity changes.
16 gigabytes - this one's 128.
OK, so, Alex - why is it different other than it being super small, which, yeah, is awesome,
and, well, 120 gigs in a small size - what, what, what are you getting at, right?
Well, my friends.
Take a look at this magic.
USB type C and normal USB.
I can finally, right, plug this in to my laptop, offload... Well, I may as well do it live.
Yeah, I'm going to drag a folder...
I'm going to drag something off here.
So, I've got a file here which is an old vlog.
I'm going to name it "test" for this example.
Drag it on to my 128 data traveller.
File size of 1 gig copying in less than a minute on to this tiny thing.
So, I'm going to safely eject this little memory card.
There we go.
Take it out and then straight away, without hesitation, I'm going to plop this bad boy
in to this, in to this computer right here and I'm going to open this bad boy up.
And, as you can see, instantaneously, it's popped up with my footage.
There we go.
There's yesterday's vlog and I can skip through it in 4K, playing off of this and I can obviously,
if I want to, go ahead and just drag it on to the desktop and copy it over.
This, this is a life saver for anybody that has anything USB C like the new MacBook or
even, even, you know... A phone.
Right - taking 4K footage off your phone.
These phones nowadays record in 4K.
We don't want to WiFi transfer this stuff - it's going to take hours.
Straight on to here. Boom.
Straight in to here.
Or, in to here.
It's just a no-brainer.
It's the future.
It honestly is.
Maybe I think that this is really good because I own a laptop that has, you know,
only USB C. But, the thing is, all laptops are going to be like this soon because they're
going to get thinner and there isn't going to be any space for something that big.
But, then again, there's obviously older, big computers out there that are still going to have this,
so, right now, in the year of 2017, and 2018 and 2019, this is the memory stick that you
want to be buying, right.
And we've got some of them to give away here so stay tuned.
So, this has been the DataTraveler microDuo 3C, right.
Amazing.
We've got one more thing to talk about, though.
I need a - how can I demonstrate this?
I need a gaming laptop.
<CLICKS> There we go - a gaming laptop, right.
This is going to demonstrate exactly what I want to say.
I need the, I need the new Kingston, the new Kingston card.
Wait - where is it?
Where is it?
Ah.
Yes - there we go.
The ultimate GT.
This, this is mental.
Let me explain.
So, so inside this box right here, right.
What looks like, you know, what looks like your, your normal, your normal memory stick...
...But, obviously, you've tipped it off.
It comes in a metal case, right.
This is some serious stuff we're talking about here.
So, in your case, you get this, well, rather large looking memory card.
But when I tell you that this thing has 1 terabyte of storage on it, you're not thinking
it's large anymore, are you?
Even in its metal housing, it comes with a carry case and a USB 3 extension cable so
it can act like a portable hard drive.
This, this is mental.
We're talking 300 read and 200 write.
Look - it says it on the tin can.
300 read, 200 write.
How can I demonstrate that, I thought to myself?
Well, let's do your standard file transfer.
Plug this bad boy in to the laptop, like a memory stick.
Look at it.
1 terabyte - it's flashing away.
I've got some client work right here.
That is 65 gigabytes in size, right.
I'm going to drag this over here, right, to the memory stick and then we're going to see
right here.
160 meg a second that peaked at then.
It's going to take 6 minutes to copy 60 gig, right.
That's mental.
And then I sat there thinking to myself: That's really boring.
All I've done is demonstrated that this thing, it's fast.
How can I make this a bit more fun?
Well, Kingston have created an awesome product here that is, well, 1 terabyte in size, right.
It's also rapid, right.
That rapid that I'm pretty sure I can play GTA off this thing.
So, yesterday, I went ahead and installed my full Steam library of games on here, right.
This has got about seven games on it.
One of those is GTA which I'm going to use for this example and I'm going to plug it
in with the cable just so show you guys that it's plugged in with the cable.
Is it working? Is it working?
It was working yesterday.
I got past this screen yesterday and I was able to play...
As you can see, wait, it's flashing away, it's flashing away. I'm not going to move it. We're flashing.
Playing off there.
There we go.
Look at that.
I'm playing GTA, right now, and it's not lagging or anything and I'm running around - this
is GTA and it's, it's playing off this.
There we go.
Check that out.
It's actually working.
I can't believe that I've got this to work.
Ha.
There you go.
If that doesn't demonstrate that you can actually play games off of this thing, that's mad.
I just thought that that would be a fun, little test to do.
So, Kingston said that they wanted to sponsor a video.
I went on their website and I chose the things that I thought you guys would find the most
interesting to talk about.
So, this is been the DataTraveler Ultimate GT 1 terabyte, 1 terabyte memory stick.
Err, memory, memory stick.
1 terabyte - that still blows my mind.
And then this, this tiny little thing is, is this.
This is, this is the DataTraveler microDuo 3C.
Duo meaning that it has a USB and USB type C...
This blows my mind too.
This is the stuff of the future.
Amazing.
We're giving away ten of these so click the link in the description if you want to enter
that and you want one of these things.
All 16 gigabytes.
Guys...
Thank you Kingston for sponsoring this episode.
It's been really fun to check this stuff out and it's been really mind blowing and mind
opening that this is the way that stuff is going.
My name's been Alex, this has been TechFlow and we'll catch you in the next one.

Does Magnus Carlsen Know Scholar's Mate?! - Duration: 10:33.
so let's get back to the game and the
game is between... Look at that! Qh5!
Qh5 has been played. This
is called the patzer's opening for those
who don't know. Even on our YouTube
channel we actually have a video on this
Q5, the patzer attack. That's a
lot of people call this you just go for
checkmate in four moves so trolling or
being serious I'm not sure I'll let you
guys decide but it it's it's a tricky
line we've actually covered it on the
channel that is the first time this
event Magnus Carlsen has been faced with
the checkmate threat from the opening
don't think you see that every day and
White has spent in no time I believe
he's by this opening many times in the
past she seems very comfortable he's
playing he's playing the theoretical
moves this is still theory and he's up
thirty Seconds
we'll see if it pays off once again the
first checkmate threat on crossing right
from the opening Bishop c4 you know
that's sort of the pre move maybe the
pre move attack too if your opponent pre
moves think I made it you know keeps
people honest in bullet that might
actually work in bullet you play E for
they play e5 you play Bishop c4 they
play let's say 96 and you you play Queen
f3 or Queen h5 and if they pre move
Knight f6 end up getting checkmated so
I'm bullet I've seen people lose like
that but in blitz against Magnus not so
easy so easy
hey even if you lose you're known as the
guy who went for the form of checkmate
against Magnus by the way he car
Nakamura supply this opening in a
classical game as well so it's not as
obscure as it may seem so Magnus has the
two bishops opposite side castling he's
looking into a counter-attack on the
queenside white for his part wants to
play maybe each 493 and h5 and
breakthrough on the edge fell defy oh I
like this b5 CB 5 and d5 things are
really sharpening up here onboard one
but this is a very parish I mean this is
a very double-edged position this is
definitely ssin you can go wrong with
either color Magnus is going to have to
handle this with extreme care and he I
mean he's playing principle he's just
counter attacking he asked it because
otherwise white will get grabbed the
initiative very quickly
so after BC six d4 Knight a4 maybe
what's going on here what is going on so
if you take here
d4 on much of d4 is the move but you
know maybe you take here if you take
your Knight takes e4 and he to thing
that's the idea okay so that's what
White's thinking about you take on c6 I
take on you for and your knight is under
attack and you have to defend it to and
remember with two bishops open positions
or what you want to strive for so Magnus
is feeling very confident that if you
can have this sort of open position open
battle that his bishops will come out
ahead looking like a nice center over
here looking like a nice Center 94 maybe
wants to jump to c5 wants to get rid of
those bishops ASAP
take care I play 95 and I want to win
your Bishop air roll champion Carlson
she's got a 1/2 point lead on the field
right now
so still everything to play for
and another big game this round is
Benjamin book again see Cara Nakamura
Nakamura was up a minute box King is
sort of exposed but it is an endgame
materials even white even has the
outside passed pawn anything could
happen here is we're keeping an eye out
on that because Benjamin Bach is in
second place and he's one of the few
people if you guys left who could
realistically surpass Magnus or catch up
to him
Magnus here went for Queen b5 Queen
takes b5 at rook c8 and he says that
this endgame is good for black that's
what Magnus is saying that this is a
good endgame for black what do you guys
think
rook d3 blocks got some really ugly
double e pawns but the benefit of those
W pawns is you can double on the F file
this pawn is sort of soft the pawns are
on the wrong color for black in some
ways but the F file might be weak so I
think my name is binding WF I'll play
Bishop h6 maybe b4 first maybe be four
and a-five okay he does this Carlson is
going to double on the F file keep these
rooks passive on d3 and f1 we're going
to see a technical display here whether
it it pays off I'm not sure but Magnus
wants to go into this endgame he's got
his own weaknesses though that's
something we haven't seen too much he's
got his own weaknesses over here and c3
I mean you can find yourself lost in
some of these n games that the material
is even and in some is black as a worst
pawn structure so Colin's going to have
to come up with something here because
this is n game he might even find
himself on the white side up sometimes
playing against this and that but piling
on some some decent pressure here on the
C file
still looking for breakthrough I agree
with this decision you don't want to
trade you need to defend d4 a4 okay and
you think can happen here is opponent
playing very well even on the clock and
fighting and fighting hard pretty sure
his opponent is a teenage French
international master move e5
so now decisions have to be made we got
some real tension in the center I don't
think you can take on d4 because I look
d7 and after Bishop c3 I have b4 and
you're going to lose a piece so tactics
are in favor of white and a line maybe
you should just take here first
the economy 4 and then maybe try to go
for something like that I'm not sure
some calculation is taking a bit too
much time here though he took 20 seconds
on that you had to play bit quicker
can't get this long time with some big
decisions to be made now he's going for
because there's no p4 but after here
bishop c3 Knight f4 rook d2
it's wide up upon here there's no before
he calculated he's like I'm up upon
rickety - now this doesn't mean it's a
great pun this is weak this is weak
kingless vulnerable
everything is pinned but upon Oh night
here so now 90 to a ninety two white
offers a draw why is now offered to draw
up upon he wants to see what Magnus does
I like that draw for long time trying to
confuse your opponent plus your up upon
temporarily if you're going to draw the
houses last opportunity to do it up upon
so now we're playing an endgame even
material this is weak and this is weak
so who's going to arrive first
maybe objectively this is a draw for the
players a long time so somebody might
arrive first who is going to who's going
to do so I'm not sure Magnus has a more
active king but the a pawn also runs
pretty quickly I mean King up King up
push we might be headed to a draw here
if Magnus draws Benjamin Bach has a
realistic chance of catching up to rule
Trinity Magnus Carlsen and making this a
very close race super kf5 push push push
push the pawn Oh
91 91 and you cannot stop this from
cleaning even the white gets his own
Queen Carlson is going to have a queen
first and he's going to have the first
chance to throw checks as opponent
Magnus Carlsen once again emerges ahead
in an endgame he calculate that so
beautifully he's one move ahead and
that's all it takes to check mate with a
queen rook in the knight on the board
Queen check here I assume this is
winning he's gonna have to find it if he
does
check-check everything looks pretty good
yeah we have a checkmate approaching
guys queen f2 rook e1 Queen c2 is May
Queen d3 Queen c2 that's checkmate
Carlsen moves to 7 and a half out of 8 a
really really nice sequence low on time
he is the one who found the most precise
moves and he was faster maybe black
I mean maybe white had to consider
sacrificing quickly for this pawn and
then trying to win black's rook for his
a pawn
maybe rook g1 was the move maybe rook to
one I'm not sure some calculation but
with low time
Carlson's instincts held up and

Is God Going To 'Bless' A Government That Gives $500 Million A Year To Fund Planned Parenthood's Abo - Duration: 9:32.
Is God Going To �Bless� A Government That Gives $500 Million A Year To Fund Planned
Parenthood�s Abortion Holocaust
by Edward Morgan
More video has just been released which proves that Planned Parenthood has been selling off
aborted baby parts to the highest bidder.
The crimes against humanity that Planned Parenthood is committing are off the charts, and yet
nobody ever goes to jail, and the federal government keeps on giving them about half
a billion dollars a year.
If the federal government did not give Planned Parenthood giant mountains
of money every year, there are real doubts about whether it would be able to survive
or not.
Planned Parenthood is the number one abortion provider in the United States, and the U.S.
government is their number one financial supporter by a very, very wide margin.
So no matter how you want to look at the issue, the truth is that America�s abortion holocaust
is being bankrolled by the U.S. government.
This was supposed to change with the election of Donald Trump.
With the Republicans in charge of the White House, the Senate and
the House of Representatives, many social conservatives were anticipating that there
would be no more excuses and that Planned Parenthood would finally be defunded.
Well, it turns out that Republicans are already throwing in the towel on this battle.
The Democrats threatened to shut down the government indefinitely over the issue of
Planned Parenthood funding, and the Republican chose to fold rather than fight.
Amazingly, even though the Republicans have already surrendered on Planned Parenthood
and the border wall, the Democrats just keep pushing for more, and this is holding up a
final budget agreement.
In fact, it looks like a one week funding bill will have to be passed in order to give
negotiations more time�
The U.S. House of Representative could move soon to consider a bill to fund the government
for a week to avoid a shutdown at midnight on Friday and buy time to strike a deal for
a long-term funding plan, a House Republican source said on Wednesday.
A one-week bill would give lawmakers �a little breathing room� to complete negotiations
on broader legislation, the source said.
The Republicans have already given the Democrats virtually everything
that they wanted, and so my gut tells me that the Democrats are either being exceedingly
greedy or they actually want to force at least a short government shutdown in order to score
some political points with the American public.
But of much greater importance is how the Republicans have turned their backs on the
pro-life community.
I keep hearing about how Donald Trump is �God�s anointed� and that God is going to bless
the government now that the Republicans are in control.
Are we actually supposed to believe that God is going
to �bless� a government that gives 500 million dollars a year to fund Planned Parenthood�s
abortion holocaust?
This is an organization that slaughters close to a thousand babies a day, chops them up
into little pieces, and then auctions off the body parts to the highest bidders.
The Center for Medical Progress has just released a new undercover video which shows a Planned
Parenthood executive �haggling over per-specimen pricing for livers, lungs, and brains��
New undercover video shows Dr. Mary Gatter, the Planned Parenthood senior
executive who infamously laughed �I want a Lamborghini� about payments for aborted
fetal parts, again haggling over per-specimen pricing for livers, lungs, and brains, even
while insisting the purchaser must do all the work to harvest.
You can watch this new undercover video on YouTube right here.
If you cannot see that this is evil, your moral conscience is probably completely gone�
The Nazis killed approximately six million people during their holocaust, and it is a
horror that the history books will remember forever.
But now we have killed close to sixty million people during the American holocaust,
and yet we are going to be �greatly blessed� as a nation?
Give me a break.
It doesn�t work that way.
It would be one thing is we were repenting, but we aren�t.
Instead, Donald Trump and the Republicans have completely caved in and have agreed to
continue bankrolling Planned Parenthood�s slaughter of American children.
To give you an idea of just how wicked these people are, I want to share with you a little
bit more from the press release that the Center of Medical Progress put out to accompany
their latest video�
During the conversation, Gatter advises, �You know, you have to pay a little money to use
the space.� After asking for a ballpark figure, the buyer observes, �Most people
now seem to be doing per specimen.�
�Per specimen.
Like $75 a specimen?� Gatter replies.
After the buyer asks for clarification, Gatter repeats, �$75 a specimen, or $50 a specimen?�
The buyer replies, �What we�ve been quoting is $50 per specimen.
I think some people are doing more, some slightly less.�
Gatter then comments, �Yeah, $50�s on the low end, $50 [per specimen] was like 12
years ago.� When you see the phrase �per specimen�,
what that really means is �per body part�.
Yes, this is against the law, but nobody from Planned Parenthood ever goes to jail.
So America�s abortion holocaust just keeps rolling along, and very few people even seem
to care anymore.
The following comes from CNS News�
Although President Donald J. Trump promised to defund Planned Parenthood if elected president,
and the GOP House and Senate often claim that they want to defund the group,
there reportedly is no language in the continuing resolution to fund the government through
next September to defund Planned Parenthood, a group that has performed approximately 81,567
abortions since Trump�s inauguration on Jan. 20.
That�s about 877 abortions per day, 36 per hour, or 1 every two minutes.
Those that are boldly proclaiming that Trump, the Republicans and our entire nation will
be �blessed� even while this is going on are not telling you the truth.
There are no more excuses for Trump and the Republicans.
They have control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
If they really wanted to defund Planned Parenthood they could do it.
Any Republican that votes for any spending bill that gives money to Planned Parenthood
and any Republican that signs such a bill will have the blood of dead babies from all
over America on their hands.
And anyone that tells you that we will be �greatly blessed� even as we slaughter
babies on an industrial scale
is telling you a lie of epic proportions.

Frantic Race for Aircraft Carriers – Advantage India - Duration: 5:17.
Welcome to WARN, Frantic Race for Aircraft Carriers � Advantage
India Ever since China unveiled its first indigenous
aircraft carrier, a whirlwind of debates engulfed the Indian strategic circles.
Some lamented the loss of strategic edge enjoyed by India so long.
Some suggested India building more nuclear submarines instead of the white elephants
called aircraft carriers.
Some pointed out the vulnerability of the aircraft carriers and the possibility of billions
of rupees sinking into the sea along with the sinking of the carriers.
But all these inferences are fallacious and can easily be discounted.
Before jumping to any conclusion, one should take into consideration the changing and volatile
strategic landscape of the globe which includes the rise of China as a superpower along with
the rise of PLA Navy, the ever-increasing number of Chinese bases in Asia, Africa & Latin
America, the crystallizing anti-China Quad consisting of the US, Japan, Australia & India,
and the soon to be operationalised LEMOA between the US & India.
Regarding the temporary loss of strategic edge by India, India�s reported overdrive
to test & build carrier-killing missiles using the Brahmos, Shaurya & K-15 platforms can
be cited.
This will effectively deter the Chinese carrier battle group.
Aircraft carriers are undoubtedly a visible symbol of a nation�s strength, an instrument
of power projection & sea control and a vehicle of immense firepower.
Aircraft carrier is a huge psychological weapon which induces fear in the minds of the adversaries.
Though nuclear submarines are potent deterrent, they should and cannot be compared to the
carriers.
In fact, they are not mutually exclusive, rather they are complementary.
Regarding vulnerability, it can be affirmed that aircraft-carrier is supported by a carrier
battle group which include submarines & minesweepers.
Besides the carrier itself has air defence system to protect itself.
India will get Israeli system for its first indigenous aircraft carrier.
Again Japan, the leading submarine hunter, is training India in the field of anti-sub
warfare.
Besides the Malabar Exercise will include anti- sub warfare.
So it will not be easy to sink Indian air craft carriers.
Besides destroying carriers will entail a huge retaliation.
Considering the rise of China and its repeated incursion into the Indian Ocean, India has
already factored the possibility of a sea war with China & no platform can be more potent
than aircraft carrier.
Besides, China still lacks the sophistication in its aircraft carriers technology as well
as in its carrier-based fighters.
India has already secured approval from the US for the much coveted EMALS & AAG technology
which the French, Japanese & Brazilian navy has sought.
The EMALS technology will allow India to launch unmanned aircraft from carriers too.
Thus the carriers will be a potent platform for hybrid warfare.
Besides, India has the chance to select the US built F35C 5th generation stealth fighter,
also called the flying computer, as its carrier-borne fighters.
Again as reported, if India goes for nuclear propulsion for its IAC II Vishal, the nuclear
reactor design and building will prove to be valuable experience for India in building
N-reactor for its nuclear submarines.
The apparent revival of the democratic quad consisting of the US, Japan, India & Australia
and the soon to be operationalised LEMOA between the US & India, and later a LEMOA clone between
India & Australia ------- will necessitate the existence of Indian aircraft carriers
on the Indo-Pacific waters.
This will ensure inter-operability among the four.
Again in case of an Indo-China war scenario, aircraft carriers will be used to block oceanic
trade routes used by China.
In case of huge natural catastrophes like Tsunami, flood or cyclone, aircraft carriers
can be the most useful tool for humanitarian assistance.
So the aircraft carriers are not white elephants.
Rather they are futuristic vehicle which will witness futuristic & innovative uses.
It is for this reason that Russia, France, Britain, Italy and the US are rushing after
the carriers.

India seeing remarkable growth in Science under PM Modi - Duration: 3:21.
Welcome to WARN, India seeing remarkable growth in Science
under PM Modi Union minister Harsh Vardhan said India has
witnessed a remarkable growth in scientific research, probably only behind China, under
the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Science in India under Prime Minister Modi is progressing very fast. In terms of scientific
research we are probably only behind China, in terms of nano technology we are now in
the third spot in the world and in terms of scientific publication, we are in the 5-6th
spot," he said at a press conference here on the second day of Department of Science
and Technology Conclave 2017.
"We have scientific research collaborations with countries like US, UK, Japan, South Korea,
Israel and the progress has been fantastic," he said.
On the Department of Science and Technology (DST) actively backing various projects, the
Science and Technology Minister said, "A bio-solar ATM project devised by a well known scientist
from Kolkata, Prof S P Gon Chowdhuri is now in the stage of fast development.
"I feel in a country like India the project can be a really big asset for hundreds of
billions of people in rural areas. In two to three months our team of scientists led
by him (Chowdhuri) will take it to its final shape.
"We are bringing this technology out of the research room and taking it to the people.
I think with our PM talking about digitisation, this can be of real help to the people," he
added.
Gon Chowdhury later told PTI that the machine will have images of different denomination
of currencies and by touching them, the user or account holder can withdraw cash. As the
person's Aadhar number will be linked with his bank account, his finger print will be
automatically recorded by the machine.
The Union minister also referred to the 'Surya Jyoti' project aimed at illuminating slums
in a Delhi cluster. The project, also conceived by Gon Chowdhury, will later cover 20 million
homes in the country, he said.
Vardhan said as par the Million Minds Augmenting National Aspirations and Knowledge, innovative
ideas from students of five lakh schools will be screened and from every school two best
ideas will be selected.
He also referred to the National Supercomputing Mission which will take India to the league
of world class computing power nations.
The NDA government at the Centre had approved the mission at a total cost of Rs 4,500 crore
in March 2015, a government press release said.

How the stealth fighter can have a crushing psychological effect on the enemy : by F-35 pilot - Duration: 4:29.
Welcome to WARN, how the stealth fighter can have a crushing
psychological effect on the enemy : explained by F-35 pilot
idrw.org . Read more at India No 1 Defence News Website httpidrw.organ-f-35-pilot-explains-how-the-stealth-fighter-can-have-a-crushing-psychological-effect-on-the-enemy.
Retired US Marine Corps Maj. Dan Flatley will never forget the crushing feeling of helplessness
he felt the first time he faced a stealth jet while he was flying in an F/A-18. �I
remember indelibly the moment in which the AWAC (airborne early warning and control plane)
called out to me that there was a Raptor [an F-22 stealth fighter] in front of me at very
close range that made me uncomfortable,� Flatley told Business Insider in a phone interview.
�I had no way of targeting him, no way of defending myself.�
Despite years of training to stay focused and level headed under the extreme pressures
of air-to-air combat, a sense of dread set in. Before even seeing the F-22, Flatley had
already surrendered his composure, and therefore his ability to effectively fight back. Years
later, Flatley would come to pilot the F-35 and even design the curriculum for training
pilots in the fifth-generation fighter, where he would tap into the crushing psychological
effect of fighting a plane you can�t find.
While the F-35 represents the most expensive weapons system of all time, and is a frequent
target of government critics who chastise the program for going over budget and schedule
, Flatly says the real strength of stealth fighters doesn�t show up in any budget.
�What the public doesn�t realize is how dominant the difference in information is,�
said Flatley. While the F-35 performs similarly to legacy jets in some areas like speed, turning,
and range, there�s a huge, ever-growing information gap between what the F-35 pilot
sees and what an F-18 pilot sees. The F-35 features six cameras stationed around
the jet and a helmet display that allows pilots to literally look through the jet as if it
wasn�t there. It features the only infrared radar on a US fighter since the F-14, and
uses unprecedented sensor-fusion capabilities to paint an incredibly vivid picture of its
surroundings for miles out. On top of all that, it�s stealth. So while the F-35 sees
everything, it�s seen by almost no one.
Legacy jets, with the help of AWACs � may have a general idea that there�s an F-35
out there, but they don�t know exactly where we are,� said Flatley. The distinct information
disadvantage causes pilots to get tunnel vision, according to Flatley. �Everything they see
becomes the F-35 out there,� said Flatley. �Every radar hit, every communication is
about the stealth jet.
They want to illuminate or eliminate a threat they can�t handle.� The fear and paranoia
caused by the presence of stealth jets in a battle has a widespread effect on adversaries
that � includes extremely capable legacy jets and certainly includes everything available
to adversaries,� said Flatley of updated F-16s, F-15s, and even enemy air defenses
like Russia�s S-400.
Even extremely capable operators fall prey to the F-35�s psychological advantage. �It
has nothing to do with their skill or technology. They�re at such a technological disadvantage,�
said Flatley. �I�ve seen guys in F-18s turn directly in front of me and show me their
tails cause they have no idea I�m there.� In the end, �It aggregates to a completely
inept response to what we�re doing in the air,� said Flatley. �People are so hellbent
on shooting down the stealth fighter that they invariably make mistakes that I can exploit.�

Frantic Race for Aircraft Carriers – Advantage India - Duration: 5:17.
Welcome to WARN, Frantic Race for Aircraft Carriers � Advantage
India Ever since China unveiled its first indigenous
aircraft carrier, a whirlwind of debates engulfed the Indian strategic circles.
Some lamented the loss of strategic edge enjoyed by India so long.
Some suggested India building more nuclear submarines instead of the white elephants
called aircraft carriers.
Some pointed out the vulnerability of the aircraft carriers and the possibility of billions
of rupees sinking into the sea along with the sinking of the carriers.
But all these inferences are fallacious and can easily be discounted.
Before jumping to any conclusion, one should take into consideration the changing and volatile
strategic landscape of the globe which includes the rise of China as a superpower along with
the rise of PLA Navy, the ever-increasing number of Chinese bases in Asia, Africa & Latin
America, the crystallizing anti-China Quad consisting of the US, Japan, Australia & India,
and the soon to be operationalised LEMOA between the US & India.
Regarding the temporary loss of strategic edge by India, India�s reported overdrive
to test & build carrier-killing missiles using the Brahmos, Shaurya & K-15 platforms can
be cited.
This will effectively deter the Chinese carrier battle group.
Aircraft carriers are undoubtedly a visible symbol of a nation�s strength, an instrument
of power projection & sea control and a vehicle of immense firepower.
Aircraft carrier is a huge psychological weapon which induces fear in the minds of the adversaries.
Though nuclear submarines are potent deterrent, they should and cannot be compared to the
carriers.

battle group which include submarines & minesweepers.

DRAGON BALL SUPER IS CATCHING UP TO THE END OF DRAGON BALL Z! ! - Duration: 5:00.
so it looks like Dragon Ball super is
getting close to the end of Dragon Ball
Z
what's up everybody lee the fourth
coming at you once again with a news
update regarding Dragon Ball super now
I'm not sure if this is going to be a
dragon ball super update in regards to
the anime but for the manga for sure
because Toyotarou the illustrator that
has taken over for Akira Toriyama he's
been doing it for a long time and
according to him he's laying the
groundwork to have Dragon Ball super
tie-in to the ending of Dragon Ball Z the ending of
Dragon Ball Z with Goku in that blue outfit that
they eventually used in Dragon Ball GT and he was in
the you know World Martial Arts
Tournament fighting against Uub which is
the reincarnation of kid buu now like I
said I'm not sure if the anime itself is
going to take this direction if they're
going to do something different because
you know the Dragon Ball super manga has taken a lot
of deviation you know to you know keep
people interested because the super
anime has completely overtaken it their
way into the tournament of power and
Dragon Ball super manga steel dealing with
the Zamasu
stuff so they take certain liberties and
do different things you know like making
Vegeta I have the Super Saiyan God form
and stuff like that
so Toyotarou was a big fan of the you know
read Super Saiyan God born so he
utilizes that a lot more than anime team
does and it's been speculated that his
rendition of things as closer to what
Akira Toriyama actually wants for the series
now whether or not that's true I'm not
100% sure about but I think it's safe to
say that what toyotarou is saying
here is definitely the case the anime
probably will do something similar
because you know we've seen that pan has
been born and that bulla is also born and
they're both in Dragon Ball GT but the
thing is they're retconning GT out of
things you know I don't care what anyone
says
I hate Dragon Ball GT so maybe I'm just hoping that
this is the case but they're clearly
wrecking the hell out of GT because if
GT was supposed to take place after
what's going on Dragon Ball Super why the
hell would go to just you know be like
oh you know i'ma stop using this Super
Saiyan blue form and take on this Super
Saiyan 4 8 form which it just makes no
sense I think what they're doing is
they're going to tie it in they're going
to roll back around introduce and all
that stuff and then they'll probably
carry the series forward but they're
going to do something totally different
they're not going to do the Dragon Ball GT stuff I
think GT is going to be kind
the bastard redheaded stepchild as a
series and just be its own thing and
whoever's a fan of it could still be a
fan of it but I honestly don't think
they're going to tie it in and if they
do dragon ball super is going to be where I
draw the line as a fan I don't care call
me what you will but that's going to be
Dragon Ball Dragon Ball Z and Dragon
Ball super and I'm draw the line right
there Dragon Ball GT now how the hell they would
actually implement this into the series
and make it make sense considering the
fact that day's far surpass Super Saiyan
4 and everything that has gone down in
Dragon Ball GT just with not correlate with the
Dragon Ball super stuff makes no sense so I'm going
with the series of the retcon yet they
still will bring Uub to the series but
all that stuff average GT no there's no
way they're going to do that again
especially with the outpour from the
majority of the fanbase saying that they
hated GT I barely ever run into GT
fan every time I run into a GT fan I run
into like a hundred people who hate Dragon Ball GT
for everyone do Dragon Ball GT you keep an eye fine so
I really don't think they're going to
try to you know broke that series back
into the mix now with Dragon Ball super
wrote back around them and then in like
Dragon Ball Z did or will they keep
going I'm assuming they're going to keep
going I think that it's been a little
short-lived this series only at 88
episodes now I feel like after the
tournament of power they might get
around to the Uub up and then you know
take off from there adding another
dynamic Uub and whatnot but I don't
think it will end I think they're making
a lot of money is making a lot of people
happy it has been rivaling one piece
which is like you know the current you
know tightening Japanese you know TV
ratings and whatnot over here I don't
really see one piece being all that big
of a deal I was a fan of it for a little
bit as the anime got around I kind of
just fell off with it but I don't see
you know yeah there's a lot of fans out
here but I don't see it being that
massive of being out here I think Dragon
Ball super is actually bigger here in
America that is in Japan and you know
Dragon Ball super continues to be like
neck and neck with one piece so I really
don't think they're going to just stop
it I think they're going to rope it
around and continue it and do something
different and not do you know the GT
round but yeah that's all I got for you
guys today go ahead and like it
subscribe and so the next encounter hurt
you

My car: Land Rover Defender 90 Rough - Duration: 14:31.
MY CAR
Such noise. Can I shift into 4th gear? There we go.
First, the introductions. Hi, I'm Casper. I work for Autoblog and drive fun cars of readers. You are?
I'm Jules and I live in Nijmegen.
We're driving in a Land Rover Defender now. - It's a real real one, isn't it?
A real real one. - How old are you, Jules?
I'm 21. - 21.
And you're driving a 4-year-old Land Rover Defender.
It was my father's company car. - It was?
You can tell by the mileage. It's high. - 228,000 km (142,000 miles).
That's a lot in 5-6 years. - My father has a company near Breda.
We live in Nijmegen, so that's a 200 km (124 mile) drive.
It depreciates with the miles. He drove it as a company car first.
Now he has a 2016 model for a company car. - You know what you're driving in 5 years.
If he gets another one after this... But that's not possible.
It was your father's company car and I guess you got it cheap, but did you really want a Defender?
No. My father likes Defenders. We used to have a 110 model.
It was a Tomb Raider edition, with a pick-up bed.
We took it off-roading in the Ardennes.
We've been to France as well.
I was 11 when I was allowed to steer it. Great cars.
He loves this car.
I wouldn't buy such a car if I had the money.
You did buy it, though. You do like it, apparently. - Basically it's still my dad's.
OK, but it is your daily driver? - It is.
I work at my dad's now. - I'm changing the route because I want to off-road.
We're having fun. Look at this. It doesn't matter, we can do it.
It was specially made for us. There we go. A short detour, but I couldn't ignore this opportunity.
With 2 wheels through the mud, why not.
I have to explain. Jules invited us to drive his car and to go off-road with it.
The route we chose didn't have many options.
I did see a small opportunity, so I went for it. Again!
With 60 kph (37 mph). - This is nothing. This car can do so much more.
Yes. - Do you?
Not with this one, no. - Which one then?
We used to with the 110.
You really went... - It's a bit of a shame with this one.
You're trying to keep it pretty. It's a special edition.
What's so special about it? I know, but for the viewers.
I don't think many were built. - Correct.
This is the Rough edition, as the colors show.
The gray-brown color.
The black 16 inch saw-tooth rims, and the interior is half leather / half fabric.
Only this edition has these things. - I think so, yes.
It was one of the first... Land Rover did make more final editions, but this was one of the first.
This Land Rover Defender had to be something pretty.
I think they succeeded.
They did. - I think it's very pretty.
It's a cool car.
I saw it's not completely undamaged.
Does that hurt? - We want to fix that.
To make it perfect again.
We try to service it every 10,000 km (6,200 miles).
And maintain it well. I've been a car mechanic for 3 years.
With my cousin.
I know how it's done. - You do much yourself.
Do you have the space at home? - My cousin has a place around the corner.
A country road. - Going off-road with 2 wheels.
I'm going off-road where ever I can today.
If this car is your daily driver... It's not a very logical choice. You don't need an off-road vehicle here.
You do feel king of the road. - You do. You sit very high.
You sit very high, but there's not much room inside. - Not at all.
My left arm touches the door.
It's cramped in here. The pedals are close together. - It's not ideal if you're tall.
I'm the only one who... - It is a big car, though.
I'm 1m83 (6 ft) and have a bit of a problem.
It's... - You're taller.
Only 1 cm, so that's OK. It's not as roomy as you'd expect from a Land Rover. Funny.
You said that if you had the money, you wouldn't buy this car. What would you buy then? I'm curious.
I think the Audi A7 is very pretty.
I'm sure this will get you a lot of hate in the comments, but I agree.
I think an Audi A7 is fantastic. - I love its shape. My father hates it.
I think it's a very pretty model. The Porsche Macan is very pretty as well.
You don't have a cheap taste. - This car isn't cheap either.
If you can drive this, you can also save your money for a year and buy an Audi A7.
Their value rises.
These cars? Prices rise now the production has stopped?
Prices rose 10,000 euros within half a year. It's crazy.
Really? Forget classic Porsches, forget... - Everyone should buy a Defender.
The more, the better. Prices will go up even further. If the demand goes up, the price goes up as well.
Bizarre. A rise of 10,000 euros. - Thereabouts.
Only 5 are for sale on Marktplaats.
From after 2011. - Those are very expensive?
What would this one cost if you were to sell it? - Now, in this state?
I think 35,000 euros. - Holy shit. That's a lot of money.
What does it cost without taxes? It was your father's company car. I think it cost about the same.
It cost a little more. - New?
I think it was almost 80,000 euros new. - That's including taxes.
That's different if it's a company car. - It's cheaper then.
It retains its value. Everyone, invest your money in Land Rover Defenders.
I like it that off-roaders have things for high and low gearing, and to lock differentials.
You don't use these. - No, I think it has never been touched.
It's never been in a different gearing. Rusted tight.
I did see some rust on the door sill. - I'm trying to fix that.
Of course, but it's bizarre. All Land Rovers have it. - It's insane.
It's unbelievable to see rust on a 5/6-year-old car. - It shouldn't.
Those owning one don't care because they just want to drive it. Everyone knows it rusts.
What's the best adventure you had with it? Have you been on vacation with the car?
Did crazy things? - Not really.
Not with this car, but... - You did with the old 110.
I experienced a lot.
Go off-road. My father drove it to Morocco.
For work, or...? - For work, yes.
That's quite a drive.
You'd think it's soft because it's tall, but it isn't. It has a stiff suspension. We're being shaken.
It seems exhausting to... - People think it's a comfortable car.
It isn't. There's a lot of noise because the box is empty.
The tires as well. - You really hear the tires.
It used to have different tires.
Those made more noise.
You live near Nijmegen, right? Can you go off-road there? Is there a play area? I would...
There is, but the forester will come after you.
He too has a Defender and can keep up with you.
That's a shame.
The area is pretty. There's water, forests, everything. You can if you want to.
You don't do that? - No, I don't.
The forester isn't watching. You can tell me.
It's fun to do.
Getting stuck and hoping someone can pull you free.
The 110 stood in water this high once.
That cost a lot of money.
They can handle a lot, but water in the engine is terminal.
The electricity... - It's an English car.
These don't have electrical problems.
Your father has the new model? - Yes.
I guess you drive it as well. Are there big differences? What do you think, comparing them?
The interior is full leather with stitching. It is prettier.
It has more power and speed.
That's a big difference. - This one has a 2.4 diesel engine?
Yes, I think so. - With 100 hp?
118 hp. The other one has 148 hp. - Is the fuel consumption doable?
You'd better bring your credit card. - Did your father give you a fuel card?
No, but it's thirsty. - Even with a diesel engine it does 1:5 (12 mpg)?
1:6 / 1:7 (14 / 16 mpg). - I think it's a cool car.
On the one hand I think your father is crazy for driving this every day
and put 200,000 highway km (124,000 miles) on the clock.
I can't imagine why you'd do that. On the other hand, I can. You feel like a boss in this car.
When you get back in your car... - It'll feel small and cute.
I'm driving behind a CX-7. It looks big when I do this with my own car.
Now it looks like a small hatchback. I feel as if I can push it aside.
That's bizarre. It's cool.
It's a cool car. Thanks for letting us drive it.
Too bad we couldn't go off-road. Maybe we should do an off-road special.
Drive off-road with our reader's cars all day. We should find a trail for it.
On the other hand, I got to experience how you and your father use this car.
Thanks for letting us drive it. If you have a cool car you think we should drive,
sign up using the form on the website and maybe me or Wouter will drive your car soon.

Letter From Bush Sr Paints Huge Difference Between Him and Hillary - Duration: 3:14.
Letter From Bush Sr. Paints Huge Difference Between Him and Hillary
After laying low for several months, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came back
with a bang this week when in an interview she refused to take the blame for her election
lose, and instead claimed that she could have won if the election had been a few weeks earlier.
Clinton blamed FBI Director James Comey, sexism, the media, Russia and Wikileaks for her defeat
in November 2016.
Her refusal to face reality flies in sharp contrast to what then-President George H.W.
Bush did when he lost to Democrat nominee Bill Clinton in 1992, Independent Journal
Review reported.
Rather than blame everyone except himself, Bush chose to write Clinton a letter before
he left the Oval Office for the last time, congratulating him on his win and wishing
him nothing but success in the years to come.
"I wish you great happiness here.
I never felt the loneliness some presidents have described," Bush wrote.
"There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think
is fair.
I'm not a very good one to give advice; but just don't let the critics discourage
you or push you off course," the letter read.
That's what true class looks like.
Bush wasn't petty or jealous.
He accepted what had happened, and he chose to put aside any personal animosity in order
to ensure a peaceful transfer of power.
"You will be our president when you read this note.
I wish you well.
I wish your family well.
Your success now is our country's success.
I am rooting hard for you," he wrote.
While Clinton did initially accept her defeat (she even showed up at the inauguration),
her comments this week indicate that she isn't planning to just sit around quietly anymore.
Remember all the hype when Trump suggested that he might not accept the results of the
election if he thought it was rigged?
Well, now Clinton is doing exactly that, yet the liberal media isn't saying very much
about it.
If Clinton wants to comment on politics, that is her right.
However, she needs to accept that Trump won the election fair and square, and that she,
and she alone, is responsible for her defeat.
Share this on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think Clinton will do in
the coming weeks and months.
What did you think of the letter Bush Sr. wrote?
