Casket containing the remains of a stylist found in a crypt under the church on top of the Katskhi Pillar
Last of the Stylites Maxime Qavtaradze, who lives on top of the Katskhi Pillar, Georgia - 22 Jun 2013
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/mik1
In an isolated region of the Caucasus a Georgian monk is spending his days in prayer and silence atop a 40-metre pillar of limestone. The Katskhi Pillar was used by stylites (Christian ascetics who lived atop pillars and eschewed worldly temptation) until the 15th century when the practice was stopped following the Ottoman invasion of Georgia. For centuries the 40 metres (130ft) high pillar lay abandoned and locals could only look up at the mysterious ruins at its summit. However, after first being ascended in 1944, the pillar has been home to Maxime Qavtaradze, last of the stylites, since 1993. Since then Maxime, who has previously spent time in prison, and the Christian community in the area have constructed a ladder to the top, rebuilt the church, and built a cottage where Maxime spends his days praying, reading, and "preparing to meet god".

US Navy unveils sea-based laser weapon that will be deployed to Persian Gulf - Apr 2013
The U.S. Navy has unveiled a ship-mounted infrared laser weapon that can bring down drones and disable other ships.
The Navy said it intends to deploy the weapon to the Persian Gulf area in 2014 in what some are saying is a response to Iran's development of drones.
Officials say the Laser Weapons System (LaWS) provides ships a method to easily defeat small boat threats and aerial targets without using bullets, and the associated expense of ammunition.
LaWS shoots high-powered infrared laser at the target and "operates much like a blowtorch ... with an unlimited magazine," a Navy official told FOXNews.com.
A video demonstration released Monday (8 April) http://bit.ly/10Pvoyk shows LaWS striking and bring down a remote-controlled target aircraft.

The Navy said it intends to deploy the weapon to the Persian Gulf area in 2014 in what some are saying is a response to Iran's development of drones.
Officials say the Laser Weapons System (LaWS) provides ships a method to easily defeat small boat threats and aerial targets without using bullets, and the associated expense of ammunition.
LaWS shoots high-powered infrared laser at the target and "operates much like a blowtorch ... with an unlimited magazine," a Navy official told FOXNews.com.
A video demonstration released Monday (8 April) http://bit.ly/10Pvoyk shows LaWS striking and bring down a remote-controlled target aircraft.

Army personnel drafted in as emergency cover for Olympic Games security, Weymouth, Dorset, Britain - 12 Jul 2012
The military has been asked to provide up to 3,500 extra troops to guard the London Olympics, amid concerns that private security firm G4S will be unable to deliver the number of staff it promised.
Ministers have been forced into the last-ditch move only a fortnight before the Games because they are concerned that G4S cannot guarantee it will be able to supply the 13,700 guards it was contracted to deliver.
