Die New York Times hat am 15. Juli einen langen Gastessay von Omer Bartov unter dem Titel "I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It." veröffentlicht, was für diese proisraelische Tageszeitung eine Art Paradigmenwechsel war.

In der FR vertritt Bartov die gleiche Linie mit besonderer Hinwendung zu DE., was bedeutet, dass der unerträgliche Doppelstandard der deutschen Staatsräson und der sie vollziehenden Bundesregierung langsam, aber sicher rechtswirksame Konsequenzen hervorbringt.

Dass das allerdings den repressiven Druck auf die palästinasolidarische Bewegung verringert, wage ich zu bezweifeln. An der Polizeigewalt gegen ihre Aktivist:innen zeigt sich, dass der Kampf für die Befreiung der Palästinenser:innen sehr viel weitergehende, antikolonialistische, antimilitaristische und staatskritische Implikationen hat. Hier könnte sich eine neue Generation basisdemokratischen Widerstands formieren, das weiß diese Regierung sehr genau.

L'or de tous les dangers, ou quand la Russie se décorrèle de l'or de la City


Depuis l’imposition des sanctions occidentales en 2022, à la suite de l’invasion de l’Ukraine, la Russie a engagé une stratégie systématique de réduction de sa dépendance aux circuits financiers dominés par l’Occident. Au cœur de cette transformation : une rupture progressive avec la City de Londres, principal centre mondial de fixation des prix et de compensation des transactions sur l’or.

Imagine having to put down up to a $15k deposit to visit a country, with the “promise” you’ll get the money back as long as you don’t violate your visa. The US can say goodbye to tourism at this point.

And finally, dear family in Hungary., Thank you for sending me home with a couple of bottles of Palinka made with fruit you grew in the backyard. Those tell-tale -tall slender bottlers hide what Hungarians consider the national drink.

Rocket fuel you drink.

It cures stomach ailments, stops a cold from progressing, separates boys and girls from men and women, and peels paint from automobiles.

STEM ≥ Prussian Blue in the Art of Japan


 A friend's post about the wonderful Prussian Blue pigments used in Japanese Art.

#art #ukiyo-e #pigment #chemistry #chemie #metallurgy #metallurgie

HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY IN JAPAN -- PRUSSIAN BLUE


Prussian blue or Berlin blue is the oldest modern synthetic color. It has been in use since its discovery in Berlin in 1704. The pigment is made from ferric ferrocyanide.

CASE STUDY. The history of the use of Prussian blue in Japan is an illustrative example of a process of rapid acceptance. The effects of the use of this synthetic pigment in Japan is a case study in the history of technology.

A "NEW" COLOR. This "new" powdered pigment was imported to Japan from Holland in the 18th century. -- see JAANUS (Japanese Architecture and Art Net Users System), "Beronin-ai" ベロリン藍

This hue of blue was used by Katsushika Hokusai in 1831 in his most famous woodblock print, "Under the Wave, off Kanagawa," also known as "The Great Wave." Hokusai's popular artwork was the first to exploit the pigment, which had recently become cheaply available from China.

In Japan, the success of Prussian blue caused a vogue for blue colors in ukiyo-e prints of the late 1820s and 1830s.

QUESTION: Does the story of the introduction and expanding use of Prussian blue provide a good example of STEM-focused evolution? Is it possible that this could become a teaching tool?

QOTO = Question Others to Teach Ourselves?

Editor's Note : This blog post is being prepared to celebrate the research work of our fellow QOTO.org user Chikara, @Chikara@Qoto.org , who has been sharing the fruits of his curiosity and study of the evolution of Technology, Arts and Science in Japan.

I had meant to suggest to him that his posts would look wonderful in a Blog format, and be preserved, made easier to find for anyone interested in following them.

Upon seeing his post of the Prussian Blue history, and the beautiful gravure of the Great Wave, I knew the moment was now.

Thank you, Chikara, for sharing with us all of your findings.

チカラ、私たちとあなたの調査結果のすべてを共有していただきありがとうございます。
