VIDEO ISIS Mendakwa SERANGAN ke atas TAPAK Warisan DUNIA UNESCO IRAQ . . .

Njulaina - Negara Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini dikenali sebagai ISIS/Isil) telah mengeluarkan satu video samseng jihad menggunakan sledgehammers dan AK-47 untuk menghancurkan apa-apa yang menjadi patung-patung dan dinding dalam Hatra, sebuah bandar purba yang berusia 2,000 tahun di Iraq.

Dalam klip 7 minit, bertajuk " menghancurkan berhala " yang disiarkan ke laman web militan sering digunakan oleh IS, jihad boleh dilihat memusnahkan batu diukir menghadap pada tembok kota kuno dan memecahkan batu-batu ke dalam tiang2 purba.

ISIS Video CLAIMS Attack On UNESCO Iraq WORLD 

Heritage SITE . . .

The Islamic State (IS, formerly known as ISIS/ISIL) has released a video of jihadist thugs using sledgehammers and AK-47s to smash what appear to be statues and walls in Hatra, an ancient 2,000-year-old city in Iraq.

In the 7-minute clip, entitled “smashing idols” posted to a militant website often used by IS, jihadists can be seen destroying carved stone faces on the ancient city walls and smashing boulders into the ancient pillars.

Video slickly ini dibuat dan bermula dengan rakaman dari udara laman web ini. Ia disertai dengan muzik tandatangan Negara Islam, mendapati pada kebanyakan video mereka membunuh dan kemusnahan. Jihad bercakap kepada kamera berkata tapak bersejarah telah dimusnahkan kerana "ianya bukan sembahan bukannya kepada Allah."

IS mendakwa kuil bersejarah dan peninggalan adalah "berhala palsu," yang melanggar pandangan Islam fundamentalis mereka. Pihak berkuasa percaya sebahagian daripada patung-patung yang lebih kecil dan peninggalan telah dijual oleh negara Islam yang kononnya di pasaran gelap untuk membantu membiayai kempen mereka.

Hatra merupakan pusat perdagangan purba dan tarikh kembali ke Empayar Seleucid (323-64 SM) dan dipercayai telah berjaya bertahan dengan pencerobohan Rom terima kasih kepada menara yang tinggi dan dinding tebal. Campuran unik di bandar ini seni bina Yunani dan Rom adalah sebuah monumen "kepada kehebatan tamadun," menurut UNESCO.

The video is slickly made and begins with aerial footage of the site. It is accompanied by the Islamic State’s signature music, found on most of their videos of killing and destruction.A jihadist speaking to camera says the historic site was destroyed because “it is worshipped instead of God.”

IS claims the historic temples and relics are “false idols,” which violate their fundamentalist Islamic views. Authorities believe some of the smaller statues and relics have been sold by the so-called Islamic State on the black market to help fund their campaign.

Hatra is an ancient trading center and dates back to the Seleucid Empire (323-64 B.C.) and is believed to have withstood Roman invasions thanks to its high towers and thick walls. The city’s unique mix of Hellenistic and Roman architecture is a monument “to the greatness of civilization,” according to UNESCO.

Ia benar-benar tidak jelas betapa banyak bandar kuno militan telah dimusnahkan.

Pada bulan Mac, satu pelancongan dan barangan antik rasmi kementerian Iraq berkata ia telah menerima laporan daripada pekerja dikawal-IS- Mosul bahawa laman yang bersejarah dalam Hatra telah dirobohkan sepenuhnya.

Pemastautin dikatakan terdengar bunyi letupan yang kuat dan berkata IS telah memusnahkan sebahagian daripada bangunan yang lebih besar dalam Hatra, dan mempunyai diranapkan lain.

It is not completely clear just how much of the ancient city the militants have destroyed.

In March, an Iraqi tourism and antiques ministry official said it had received reports from employees in IS-controlled Mosul that historic sites in Hatra had been completely demolished.

A resident allegedly heard a powerful explosion and said IS had destroyed some of the larger buildings in Hatra, and had bulldozed others.

UNESCO tidak dapat mengatakan dengan pasti berapa banyak kerosakan telah berlaku walaupun selepas imej satelit dibebaskan.

"Ia tidak jelas sama ada kerosakan telah berlaku ke laman web yang [sic]. Kami dalam proses menganalisis imej dan membandingkan mereka dengan yang terdahulu diambil di laman web," Giovanni Boccardi, Pusat Warisan Dunia Unesco, kepada IBTimes UK.

Pemusnahan yang melampaui batas terkini berikut beberapa insiden lain. Pada bulan Mac, jihad Negara Islam digambarkan diri mereka memusnahkan peninggalan Kristian di gereja di Niniwe, ibu negara purba rejim Assyria, di tebing timur Sungai Tigris, juga di Iraq.

Pada bulan yang sama, ADALAH memusnahkan patung bersayap berusia 3,000 tahun di Istana Ashurnasirpal di bandar Assyria purba Nimrud. Setiausaha Agung PBB Ban Ki-Moon menyebut serangan itu "jenayah perang."

UNESCO was unable to say conclusively how much damage had taken place even after satellite images were released.

"It is not clear whether damages have taken place to the site [sic]. We're in the process of analyzing the images and comparing them to the previous ones taken at the site," Giovanni Boccardi, of Unesco’s World Heritage Centre, told IBTimes UK.

The latest wanton destruction follows numerous other incidents. In March, Islamic State jihadists pictured themselves destroying Christian relics in churches in Nineveh, the ancient capital of the Assyrian regime, on the eastern banks of the Tigris, also in Iraq.

In the same month, IS destroyed 3,000-year-old winged statues at the Palace of Ashurnasirpal in the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called the attack a “war crime.”

Anti-Islam rallies have taken place across Australia, organized by the Reclaim Australia group. Police were forced to intervene in Melbourne as clashes broke out between anti-Islam and anti-racism protesters, with thousands attending the demonstrations.

The Reclaim Australia community group, who organized protests in 16 cities and towns across the country, was protesting against Sharia law, halal and Islamization.

Kumpulan Reclaim Australia telah menghadapi tuntutan oleh lawan bahawa mereka adalah parti yang bersifat perkauman. Walau bagaimanapun, John Oliver, yang menganjurkan perhimpunan anti-Islam berkata kumpulan itu hanya melihat keluar untuk kepentingan biasa di Australia.

"Saya tahu di Sydney dan Melbourne mereka telah mendapat umat Islam telah ditandatangani pada untuk menghadiri kerana mereka boleh melihat apa yang berlaku dan mereka tidak suka apa yang berlaku," kata Oliver, bercakap kepada penyiar negeri Australia ABC.

The Reclaim Australia group has faced claims by opponents that they are a racist organization. However, John Oliver, who organized the anti-Islam rallies say the group is just looking out for the interests of ordinary Australians.

"I know in Sydney and Melbourne they've got Muslims already signed on to attend because they can see what's happening and they don't like what's happening," Oliver said, speaking to the Australian state broadcaster ABC.

Satu lagi penunjuk perasaan, John Bolton, berkata kumpulan Reclaim Australia menentang ekstremisme, tetapi bukan kah Islam dalam masyarakat yang lebih luas.

"Apa yang saya tidak menentang adalah rakyat biasa Australia yang berada umat Islam yang mengikut kepercayaan mereka, mereka tidak perlu kebenaran sesiapa syarat mereka mematuhi undang-undang sivil dan jenayah Australia dan ingin mematuhi perlembagaan kami," tambah Bolton, mengikut ABC.

Another protester, John Bolton, said the Reclaim Australia group was opposed to extremism, but not Muslims in the wider community.

"What I'm not against is ordinary Australian people who happen to be Muslims who follow their faith, they don't need anybody's permission provided they comply with the Australian civil and criminal law and want to comply with our constitution," Bolton added, according to ABC.

Penganjur demonstrasi anti-perkauman, Mel Gregson, berkata Reclaim Australia telah mendapat sokongan dengan menyebarkan "teori konspirasi," dan juga "membabitkan orang Islam yang baik dalam pergerakan politik minoriti kecil," dalam hal pelampau yang telah menyertai Negara Islam kononnya.

Gregson menambah bahawa payung organisasi sayap kiri telah memutuskan untuk mengadakan perhimpunan di Federation Square, untuk menentang secara langsung mesej yang didukung oleh Reclaim Australia.

The organizer of the anti-racist demonstration, Mel Gregson, said Reclaim Australia was gaining support by spreading “conspiracy theories,” as well as “implicating good Muslim people in the political movements of a tiny minority,” in regards to extremists who have joined the so-called Islamic State.

Gregson added that the left-wing umbrella organization had decided to hold its rally at Federation Square, to oppose directly the message being espoused by Reclaim Australia.

"Kami tidak berminat untuk mengadakan perhimpunan kami di tempat lain dan berbincang dengan orang-orang yang telah bersetuju bahawa perkauman adalah satu perkara yang buruk - sebahagian besar orang di Australia bersetuju dengan kami mengenainya," katanya.

"Apa yang kami mahu katakan adalah bahawa ini adalah berbahaya untuk membenarkan ucapan kebencian berlaku di jalanan di Melbourne."

Ketegangan antara Australia dan umat Islam telah meningkat sejak 6 bulan lepas. Polis Australia telah melancarkan satu siri serbuan anti-keganasan pada bulan September. Terdapat tindak balas terhadap masyarakat Islam di Australia berikutan kepungan oleh seorang lelaki Iran yang dilahirkan Islam di Sydney Disember lepas, yang menyebabkan 3 orang terbunuh dan 4 cedera.

Satu kajian yang dijalankan oleh Universiti Queensland pada permulaan 2015 berkata bahawa sebanyak 75 % peratus daripada warga Australia umat Islam percaya mereka tidak adil disasarkan oleh undang-undang anti-keganasan. Undang-undang keganasan telah diperketatkan lagi selepas seorang lelaki berusia 18 tahun, yang dilaporkan menyokong pertubuhan pengganas Negara Islam, ditembak mati selepas menikam 2 pegawai polis di Melbourne.

"We're not interested in holding our rally somewhere else and talking to people who already agree that racism is a bad thing - the vast majority of people in Australia agree with us on that," she said.

"What we're trying to say is that this is dangerous to allow hate speech to occur on the streets of Melbourne."

Tensions between Australians and Muslims have been rising over the last six months. Australian police launched a series of anti-terrorism raids in September. There was a backlash against the Islamic community in Australia following a siege by an Iranian born Muslim man in Sydney last December, which left three people dead and four injured.

A survey conducted by the University of Queensland at the start of 2015 said that as many as 75 percent of Australians Muslims believe they are unfairly targeted by anti-terrorism laws. Terror laws were again tightened after an 18 year-old man, who reportedly supported the terrorist organization the Islamic State, was shot dead after stabbing two police officers in Melbourne.

WARTAWAN Jerman: Media EROPAH Menulis CERITA pro-Amerika Syarikat di bawah tekanan CIA (VIDEO) . . .

Screenshot from RT video

Njulaina - Wartawan Jerman dan editor Udo Ulfkotte mengatakan ia dipaksa utk menerbitkan karya agen perisikan di bawah nama sendiri, sambil menambah bahawa ketidakpatuhan menanggung risiko dipecat. Ulfkotte membuat ayat-ayat dalam temu bual dengan RT dan Insider Rusia.

"Saya akhirnya menerbitkan artikel di bawah nama saya sendiri ditulis oleh agen-agen CIA dan perkhidmatan risikan lain, terutama perkhidmatan rahsia Jerman," Ulfkotte kepada Insider Rusia. Dia mengatakan hal yang sama kepada RT dalam temu bual eksklusif pada awal Oktober.

"Suatu hari BND (Jerman agensi perisikan asing) datang ke pejabat saya di Frankfurter Allgemeine di Frankfurt. Mereka mahu saya untuk menulis artikel tentang Libya dan Kolonel Muammar Gaddafi . . . Mereka memberikan saya semua maklumat rahsia ini dan mereka hanya mahu saya untuk menandatangani artikel dengan nama saya, "Ulfkotte memberitahu RT.

"Artikel itu adalah bagaimana Gaddafi cuba untuk diam2 membina sebuah kilang gas racun. Ia merupakan satu cerita yang telah dicetak di seluruh DUNIA 2 hari kemudian."

Ulfkotte mendedahkan semua ini & byk lagi dlm bukunya 'Wartawan Dibeli,' di mana ia menyebut bahawa dia berasa malu utk apa yg tlh dilakukan pd masa lalu.

"Ia tidak benar, apa yang saya lakukan di masa lalu. Untuk memanipulasi orang, untuk membuat propaganda. Dan ia tidak benar apa yang rakan2 saya lakukan dan telah lakukan di masa lalu kerana mereka disogok untuk mengkhianati orang tidak hanya di Jerman, tetapi di seluruh Eropah, "katanya kepada RT. "Saya adalah seorang wartawan selama 25 tahun & saya telah diajar utk berbohong, meng-khianati, dan tidak mengatakan yang sebenarnya kepada orang ramai."

"Saya telah disogok oleh Amerika utk tidak melaporkan dgn tepat kebenarannya . . . Saya dijemput oleh Kumpulan Wang Marshall Jerman dari Amerika Syarikat untuk melakukan perjalanan ke Amerika Syarikat. Mereka membayar utk semua perbe-lanjaan saya dan meletakkan saya dalam hubungan dengan Amerika yang mereka ingin saya untuk bertemu, "katanya.

"Saya menjadi warga kehormatan dari negeri Oklahoma di Amerika Syarikat hanya kerana saya menulis pro-Amerika. Saya disokong oleh CIA. Saya telah membantu mereka dalam beberapa situasi dan saya berasa malu untuk itu juga."

Banyak wartawan lain yang terlibat dalam amalan yang sama, tambahnya lagi Ulfkotte.

"Sebahagian besar wartawan yg anda lihat di negara2 asing, mereka mendakwa diri mereka sebagai wartawan dan mereka mungkin. Tetapi kebanyakan dari mereka, seperti saya pada masa lalu, adalah apa yang dikenali sebagai 'penutup tidak rasmi.' Ini bermakna anda bekerja utk sebuah agensi perisikan, anda mem-bantu mereka jika mereka mahu anda. Namun mereka tdk akan mengatakan ba-hawa yang mereka tahu anda."

Para wartawan yg dipilih untuk pekerjaan seperti biasanya datang dari organisasi media yg besar. Hubungan dgn perkhidmatan rahsia bermula sbg persahabatan.

"Mereka bekerja pada ego anda, membuat anda berasa seperti anda penting. Dan pada suatu hari salah seorang daripada mereka akan meminta anda 'anda membantu saya ini?" "Ulfkotte menjelaskan.

GERMAN Journo: EUROPEAN Media Writing pro-US 

STORIES Under CIA pressure (VIDEO) . . .

German journalist and editor Udo Ulfkotte says he was forced to publish the works of intelligence agents under his own name, adding that noncompliance ran the risk of being fired. Ulfkotte made the revelations during interviews with RT and Russia Insider.

“I ended up publishing articles under my own name written by agents of the CIA and other intelligence services, especially the German secret service,” Ulfkotte told Russia Insider. He made similar comments to RT in an exclusive interview at the beginning of October.

“One day the BND (German foreign intelligence agency) came to my office at the Frankfurter Allgemeine in Frankfurt. They wanted me to write an article about Libya and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi...They gave me all this secret information and they just wanted me to sign the article with my name,” Ulfkotte told RT.

“That article was how Gaddafi tried to secretly build a poison gas factory. It was a story that was printed worldwide two days later.”

Ulfkotte reveals all this and more in his book 'Bought Journalists,' where he mentions that he feels ashamed for what he has done in the past.

“It is not right what I have done in the past. To manipulate people, to make propaganda. And it is not right what my colleagues do and have done in the past because they are bribed to betray people not only in Germany, but all over Europe,” he told RT. “I was a journalist for 25 years and I was educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public.”

“I was bribed by the Americans not to report exactly the truth...I was invited by the German Marshall Fund of the United States to travel to the US. They paid for all my expenses and put me in contact with Americans they'd like me to meet,” he said.

“I became an honorary citizen of the state of Oklahoma in the US just because I wrote pro-American. I was supported by the CIA. I have helped them in several situations and I feel ashamed for that too.”

Many other journalists are involved in the same practice, Ulfkotte added.

“Most of the journalists you see in foreign countries, they claim to be journalists and they might be. But many of them, like me in the past, are so-called 'non-official cover.' It means you work for an intelligence agency, you help them if they want you to. But they will never say they know you.”

The journalists selected for such jobs usually come from big media organizations. The relationship with the secret service starts as a friendship.

“They work on your ego, make you feel like you're important. And one day one of them will ask you 'Will you do me this favor?'" Ulfkotte explained.

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

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

Njulaina - 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" pada 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 - dengan tentera moden dan handal yang dimiliki - Yang paling dekat dengan 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.”

READ MORE: US works on military 'scenarios' near our borders - Russian defense minister

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.

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

Photo from WASProject website

Njulaina - Sebuah syarikat Itali percaya mereka telah datang dengan idea2 yang boleh memperbaiki kehidupan beratus-ratus juta. Mereka telah mengembangkan 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.
