MICHAEL the GREAT

I cannot BEGIN to tell U how historic this interview is in the context of present-day players on the same political stage. A deep, critical and introspective thinker, someone who was able to reflect on his leadership, identify the mistakes and define on his terms his successes and failures. He was also able to accurately describe and prescribe the present as it was and the future as it turned…

Welcome to Lunar Cove, RI! The supernatural population is all, but extinct. The hunters band together, acting under the guidance of a mysterious figure known only as the Catalyst to erase the different magical species off of the globe. Families, friends, and homes were all destroyed amongst the chaos. Only Lunar Cove survived. This historical seaside town is now the only safe haven for supernaturals, being the only place in the world where supernaturals can exist out in the open without fear of persecution. The magical border surrounding the town wards strangers away and tampers with any human’s memory who dares to leave. With looming threats on the horizon, Lunar Cove may not always seem like the safest place to live, but, for supernaturals, it is just about the only place left for you.

— ABOUT LUNAR COVE

Lunar Cove is an OC supernatural town roleplay that offers a safe and inclusive space for dedicated writers who are focused on creating entertaining plots and dynamic characters. Welcome to Lunar Cove, neighbor!

Official Report on The Intransitionalist Chronotopologies of Kenji Siratori (TRS 109)

YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE INEFFABLE FOREST

youtube

Official Report on The Intransitionalist Chronotopologies of Kenji Siratori: Appendix 8.2.3 is a xenopoetic data/dada anthology that documents the activities of the artist collective The Ministry of Transrational Research into Anastrophic Manifolds. The anthology results from an experimental approach to impersonal literary composition. Similar to surrealist definitions, but on the scale of a technical document, members of the Ministry—poets, musicians, novelists, painters, curators, artists, scientists, philosophers, and physicians—were asked to offer a microfiction, poem, essay, fictional citation, or computer code, in the form of a footnote or annotation to a glitch-generated novel by iconoclastic Japanese artist Kenji Siratori; however, each participant wrote their contribution without any access to or knowledge about the nature of Siratori’s source text. After collecting the contributions, the “footnotes” were each algorithmically linked to an arbitrary word from Siratori’s novel. The result is a work of xenopoetic emergence: a beautifully absurd, alien document scintillating with strange potency. Bringing together algorithmically and AI-generated electronic literature with analogue collage and traditional modes of literary composition, the Ministry refuses to commit solely to digital, automated, or analogue art and instead seeks technological mutualism and a radically alien future for the arts. Accompanied by a groundbreaking original score by electro-acoustic duo Wormwood, the anthology offers the radical defamiliarization and weird worlds of science fiction, but now the strangeness bites back on the level form. Readers should expect to discover strange portals from which new ways of thinking, feeling, and being emerge. A conceptual and experimental anthology, Official Report on The Intransitionalist Chronotopologies of Kenji Siratori inaugurates collective xenopoetic writing and the conceit that the future of art will consist of impersonal acts of material emergence, not personal expression. Consume with caution.

Bob Marley Assassination Attempt

Michael Manley, son of former Prime Minister Norman Manley, was elected Prime Minister of Jamaica in 1972. To address growing inequality in Jamaican society, Manley embarked on several democratic socialist reforms of the state, including land ownership reform, free education from primary to university, and nationalization of certain industries. Such policies had massive popularity among many people in Jamaica, but there were others who either saw the reforms as contrary to their businesses or as a high precursor to a Cuban-style communist government. Beginning in 1974, he was also opposed by the more conservative Edward Seaga of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). The JLP used the threat of socialism to build support among property owners and churchgoers, attracting more middle-class support. By 1976 the two politicians hired local gangsters to help them increase their hold on power.

The 1976 elections marked the beginning of a period of political violence in Jamaica. A State of Emergency was declared by Manley's party the PNP in June and 500 people, including some prominent members of the JLP, were accused of trying to overthrow the government and were detained, without charges, in the South Camp Prison at the Up-Park Camp military headquarters.

Reggae musician Bob Marley announced plans to hold a concert in an attempt to quell the violence. Politicians from both parties were hoping to capitalize on Marley's support. While Marley remained neutral, many viewed him as tacitly supporting Manley and the PNP.

At 8:30 pm, on December 3, 1976, two days before the Smile Jamaica concert, seven men with guns raided Marley's house at 56 Hope Road. Marley and his band were on break from rehearsal. Marley's wife, Rita, was shot in the head in her car in the driveway. The gunmen shot Marley in the chest and arm. His manager, Don Taylor, was shot in the legs and torso. Band employee, Louis Griffiths took a bullet to his torso as well. Astonishingly, there were no fatalities. [Wiki].

“As long as this party is in power, we intend to walk through the world on our feet and not on our knees…” There was a time when regardless of whatever shortcomings they might have had, Jamaican Prime Ministers / Premiers, certainly did not lack a spine. They stood for something even if it ran the risk of “upsetting” other more powerful states. From our stance against apartheid to our friendship with Cuba to our advocacy for nations of the Global South, we stood brave and tall… If you asked any of them why they did it, from Premier Norman Manley, Prime Minister Bustamante, right back to Prime Ministers Bruce Golding & Portia Simpson they would tell you that it was a matter of principle. It would be nice if we had such leadership at the helm again. Leadership that had courage and a moral compass. Michael Manley would never have stood by and remained silent on what is happening in Palestine and the Congo and Sudan etc. He’d never had avoided a vote in the UN, he’d have been very vocal in calling out Israeli actions for what it is; Genocide. I dare say that the brewing situation between Guyana & Venezuela right now would have seen him in the middle of it trying to broker a fair agreement between the two nations and what’s more, he’d have had the credibility to do this. Today marks the anniversary of the birth of a man of principle… Michael Norman Manley would have been 99 today. HAIL THE MAN!!! The word is love Comrade Leader! ✊🏾

Cooking with Phason Gas

Heat-transport measurements and neutron-scattering spectroscopy probe a form of thermal conduction based on excitations called phasons.

[...]

The understanding of how substances conduct heat is of great significance in materials science. It is needed for many important technological applications—from heat management in electronics to temperature control in buildings [1]. Therefore, when an unusual form of thermal transport is identified, materials scientists take notice. Michael Manley of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, and his colleagues have shown that excitations called phasons can provide the main contribution to thermal transport in a material known as fresnoite [2]. Phasons are collective lattice oscillations that occur in certain crystals with an aperiodic lattice structure—fresnoite being one of the best known. The researchers’ demonstration could pave the way for new heat-management strategies.

Thermal conductivity is a measure of a material’s ability to transfer heat. It is a property that we are all abruptly reminded of when we accidentally place our hand on a hot kitchen stove. The temperature gradient between our cooler skin and the hotter surface facilitates a transfer of energy into our hand, resulting in an unpleasant sensation. The notion that different materials conduct heat at different rates is similarly experienced when we perceive the cooling sensation of holding a metal spoon relative to a wooden one.
