This ethnography explores the controversial plans and practices of the Maitreya Project, as they worked to build the “world's tallest statue” as a multi-million dollar “gift” to India. This effort entailed a plan to forcibly acquire hundreds of acres of occupied land for the statue park in the Kushinagar area of Uttar Pradesh. The Buddhist statue planners ran into obstacle after obstacle, including a full-scale grassroots resistance movement of Indian farmers working to “Save the Land.” In telling the “life story” of the proposed statue, the book sheds light on the aspirations, values and practices of both the Buddhists who worked to construct the statue, as well as the Indian farmer-activists who tirelessly protested against it. Since the majority of the supporters of the Maitreya Project statue are “non-heritage” practitioners to Tibetan Buddhism, the book narrates the spectacular collision of cultural values between small agriculturalists in rural India and transnational Buddhists from around the world. The book endeavors to show the cultural logics at work on both sides of the controversy. Thus, this ethnography of a future statue of the Maitreya Buddha—himself the “future Buddha”—is a story about divergent, competing visions of Kushinagar’s potential futures.

Electrical Generation

Full-scale testing has continued at the US Navy’s Gas Turbine Systems Engineering Complex. The test complex, which is based on the US Navy’s DDG-51 class propulsion plant, has fully transitioned from the construction phase to the testing phase. A complete LM 2500-based propulsion train exists, as well as an electrical generation, distribution and control system. The purpose of this paper is to provide an update to last year’s test report, and to document the new tests and systems integration tasks that have taken place. Particular areas to be discussed include: - electrical system design, installation and testing - crew training and integrated plant operations - full-scale casualty control exercises - integration and testing of an Auxiliary Power Unit - control system upgrades and communication testing At the time that this paper is being written, final design approval has been given to move a second 2500 kW gas turbine generator to the test site. This will be a cogeneration system, since it has a waste heat recovery system installed in the exhaust system. The paper describes the plans for integrating this system into the gas turbine complex. The proposed electrical system test plan is also discussed. The paper concludes by outlining the component and system testing programs that are planned for the future. The future tests represent a continuing commitment to land based test sites and full scale integration testing.

Late Stages

Persian Asia Minor had experienced upheavals since the late stages of the Peloponnesian War. When the Spartans emerged victorious from that contest, with the financial help of the Persian king, they soon set out on a program of liberation. But their leadership was corrupt and their methods of controlling the Greek city-states oppressive—Spartan garrisons were imposed under a commander called a harmost, and boards of ten (dekarchies) ruled the cities. Persia successfully removed the Spartan menace, but the Achaemenids were themselves soon threatened by an uprising known as the Great Satraps’ Revolt. Some of the rebels sought refuge at the court of Philip II of Macedon, who later sent an expeditionary force to Asia Minor in the spring of 336. Although this force of 10,000 accomplished little, it was followed in 334 by a full-scale invasion by Alexander the Great, who defeated the armies of a satrapal coalition at the River Granicus. Although Memnon of Rhodes emerged as the leading defender of Persian interests in the West, many of the empire’s leading commanders fell on the battlefield or soon afterward. It was an ill omen for the future of Achaemenid Asia Minor.

Racing to a Renewable Transition?

The Future

In this chapter, we turn specifically to the question of renewables development and examine who is leading that race. While it is clear which state is in the lead at present, we consider whether it matters all that much if the transition appears to be so far in the future. A full-scale transition to renewables does not appear to be an immediate possibility. What is more probable is a partial transition focusing on transportation and electricity generation. At what pace this transition will take place and whether it will be sufficient to address global warming concerns remains to be seen. Whether a partial shift to cleaner energy can create the foundation for systemic leadership is also less clear, because the innovations involved with such a shift are likely to be readily emulated by rivals. Systemic leadership has been predicated on one state gaining an economic edge on the competition. If that edge is no longer achievable, world politics will either need to move to new political leadership patterns or make do with the eroding older ones.

‘Future prospects of Methodism’ considers the main options currently in play for the survival of Methodism. If Methodism is to have a future, there needs to be a recovery of nerve about its origins, its message, its practices, and its mission. Equally there needs to be a fresh way of thinking about Methodism as a full-scale church in the history of Christianity. The present prospects of fresh division open up the way for a new conversation about Methodist identity that can shape what it will become in the future. One thing is sure: Methodism will survive.

An investment strategy, known as the Engine Model Derivative Program has resulted in the prototype development of a new fighter engine, a new turboprop engine and promises the future development of a second fighter engine. The rationale for prototype, rather than full-scale development is presented and a brief overview of the F101 Derivative Fighter Engine, XT56-100 and F100 Advanced Derivative is described.

Nitrification And Denitrification

The requirements for phosphorus and nitrogen removal will be more stringent for the sewage treatment plants in Stockholm in the future. A lot of work has been done during the last 5-6 years to learn in what way the three sewage treatment plants ought to be extended to meet those more stringent requirements. The paper presents some experience from this work and gives a brief description of the final solution for the two largest plants, Henriksdal and Bromma.

Ukraine has been through several stages of national security orientation: non-alignment, aspiration to join NATO, non-alignment and orientation on Russia and, since 2014, defence from Russian aggression and aspiration to join NATO in the future. The inconsistencies in national strategies have led to confusing military doctrines and an ineffective military posture. In 2014, the response of Ukraine’s armed forces during the Russian annexation of Crimea and in the early phase of the operations against pro-Russian separatists proved rather poor, and exposed serious military weaknesses, except the will to defend the country. Over the next two years, Ukraine took a number of measures of mobilization and rearmament, and thereby managed to rebuild a substantial force capable of stopping the Russian invasion and separatism in Ukraine’s south-east. Further on, capitalizing on lessons learned and Western support, Ukraine intensified its defence transformation to make its armed forces capable of deterring full-scale aggression from Russia.
