Itamar Ben-Gvir’s staged attempt at humiliating Marwan Barghouti exposed the impotence of the Palestinian political order — but it also laid bare the insecurities and anxieties that fuel Israel’s need to publicly subjugate Palestinians.

6 septembre 1995 : Révoltes tahitiennes contre l'État nucléocrate français
lenumerozero.info/6-septembre-…

"Petit retour, à partir d'archives diverses, sur un vent émeutier qui a embrasé l'aéroport et la principale ville de Tahiti contre les derniers essais nucléaires français."

Having watched then "full season" (this 10 episode season stuff is nonsense), I give the new KotH a 2/5 at best. Too many key characters had horrible flat voice acting, animation looked cheap, and the script was like a mid fanfic written by zoomers. Should have just been a movie. The only standout to me that felt like KotH was the episode with Good Hank. That Cotton cameo was pitch perfect and the relationship between Hank and GH echoed his relationship with Luanne in an endearing and fresh way. If they do another season, the first episode should involve GH's Mom dumping him at the Hills' and disappearing or going to jail for something ridiculous. Or maybe she falls in love with with Bill and they move in to his house.

@Skeletor You're such a piece of shit. Do we kill third world people? How many third world people did that family kill? Shit bird, the US government may be in the terrorist business but the average US citizen is not.

It's a pity that you're such a clueless low IQ idiot, that you can't even make the distinction. Go home faggot, this is a white man's country. Fuck off. Did the Germans terrorize you to live in their country, you fucking parasite? Whites need to kick you cockroaches out of their nations for good.

CNN se concentre sur les deux victoires majeures remportées par Vladimir Poutine lors de sa rencontre avec Donald Trump en Alaska, ainsi que sur le fait qu'il n'y a pas eu d'accord de cessez-le-feu pour l'Ukraine .

Comme le souligne CNN, le président russe a remporté deux victoires majeures. D'abord , après avoir été considéré par beaucoup comme un criminel de guerre, il est redevenu un interlocuteur à part entière sur la scène internationale. Ensuite, il a réussi à gagner du temps.

La Maison Blanche « censure » les applaudissements de Trump pour Poutine

Les applaudissements de Trump ont été filmés en direct sur la chaîne YouTube de la Maison-Blanche. Cependant, quelques minutes plus tard, lorsque la Maison-Blanche a publié la vidéo de l'accueil sur les réseaux sociaux, la séquence avait été modifiée : elle commençait exactement une fraction de seconde après que Trump eut terminé ses applaudissements.

This is a collage of the collective west, her politicians and what is considered, her press, losing their collective excrement. They are mad that there may be a possibility that Russia and the US can normalize relations. Many of us would love that, but it is doubtful if that will ever happen.

The Empire of ZOG, of which all the collective nations belong, will never allow that. In the mind of the empire's elitists, all peer rivals, especially Russia, needs to be its prison bitch. That won't happen either. If there can be no peace, between us then war it is until all life begins to cease. Those seem to be acceptable conditions, do they not?

The Russians always had a significant support from Americans. Many Americans sill regard strength as a virtue and we have more in common today with the hardy Russians than any of the globalist, power hungry, leftists in the EU. Russians should however, be wary of all US politicians, since they are inherently corrupt and dishonorable. The deep state uniparty in the US Congress are paid by their masters, to forever hate whichever nation that does not submit to their will. This is real and must be acknowledged.

🧵#DocumentaryFilms I've enjoyed this month - in no particular order.

A rich and little-known part of Canadian history unfolds through the stories of the first Chinese women to come to Canada and of subsequent generations of Chinese Canadian women. It is an amazing tale of courageous women who left behind their families, knowing they would never see them again and of girls who were shipped off to the New World to marry men they had never met. These are the women who fought against the many forms of racism they faced in Canada while, at the same time, challenging sexism within their own communities. By passing on language, culture, and values to their children, these women defined what it means to be Chinese Canadian. Beautiful old photographs from family albums, the recollections of seven women who grew up in Canada in the first half of the 20th century, and the memories of narrator and director, Dora Nipp, whose grandfather came to Canada in 1881 to build the railway, create a remarkable story of stunning impact.

Told entirely from a #ChildsPerspective, Ninan Auassat: We, the Children is a powerful and immersive #documentary that reveals the dreams of a new generation ready to take flight. Renowned for her intimate and compelling films, director Kim O’Bomsawin takes us deep into the world of #IndigenousYouth , capturing the stories of #children from the #Atikamekw , #EeyouCree and #Innu Nations over a period of more than six years. Without adult narration or expert commentary, the film offers an unfiltered look at #childhood as it unfolds, from everyday life to defining moments on the path to #adulthood. It’s a bold cinematic statement—one that gives space to a generation eager to be heard. Their voices ring out, not just as personal stories, but as a call to action, demanding recognition and the chance to thrive on their own terms.

Geared towards a #teen audience.

On the way to school, a boy is confronted by an enormous man whose hand grabs hold of his school bag and tosses it into the air. The hand pushes him towards a huge padlock, then forces him to enter through the keyhole: the schoolboy is imprisoned in a hazardous lock factory. Like the other children inside, he finds himself forced to operate a high-speed punch press. Struggling to follow the movements of the machine, he cuts off a finger. He tries to run away, but is recaptured.

Back at the factory he starts to cough up blood after inhaling iron particles that will prove lethal: the child dies on the job. Coldly, the hand picks up his body and drops it in the box the padlocks are shipped in, symbol of his murdered innocence.

How can we live with forced child labour? This #India / #Canada co-production is inspired by #Article32 of the United Nations Convention on the #RightsOfTheChild , which particularly upholds the child's right to be protected from economic #exploitation. An #AnimatedFilm without words for 12- to 17-year olds.

#Korean #animator Dahee Jeong crafts a #surreal world where people exist solely as garments—bodiless, faceless, going through the motions of daily life. As a shirt and a pair of pants step out of the closet and assemble into a human-like figure, they join others in a city of fabric-bound beings, performing everyday tasks with eerie familiarity. Through delicate #animation and a silent, #poetic approach, the film questions identity, routine and the meaning of #existence in a #society where appearances are everything. Society of Clothes is a co-production with #MiyuProductions and #BetweenThePictures.

in reply to Wolf480pl

They say that of Holtz/Toepler machines which of course is rotor/stator design, but they say it's also needed for Wimshurst machines. But a Wimshurst is much more sensitive so it has a tendency to (appear to) self-start.

AFAICT, the only difference between a Holtz/Toepler and a Wimshurst is the Wimshurst has more stages. My point is that I think a Wimshurst machine (with all of it's stages) can be flattened into a rotor/stator design and still retain the same electrical diagram.

in reply to Wolf480pl

Well, you have one disk which passes the entire circumference of the other one in 180 degrees of rotation, and it passes all of the brushes in 360 degrees.

So to achieve the exact same circuit with only a rotor and stator, you would take the 360 degrees of one disk and compress them into 180 degrees by adding another N lower sectors which are electrically connected to the N upper sectors.

Then to have an neutralizer which contacts over 360 degrees of rotation, you would have the lower N/2 sectors routed to brush contacts in the upper 180 degrees of travel, and the higher N/2 sectors make brush contacts in the lower 180 degrees.

So I think in theory you can do it, now making something that actually works (without a 24 layer PCB) is a different problem.

in reply to Wolf480pl

I'm not sure a drawing would help that much, I'm not trying to propose a sane design, I'm more just trying to argue that anything which can be represented by 2 counter-rotating plates can be also represented by a single rotating plate against a stator.

If you deconstruct a Wimshurst machine into a series of statements as the following:

At position 0: PlateA-Sector0 lines up with PlateB-Sector0, PlateA-Sector1 lines up with PlateB-Sector1, etc... PlateA-Sector19 lines up with brushA, PlateA-Sector4 lines up with brushB, PlateB-Sector8 lines up with brushC, PlateB-Sector15 lines up with brushD.

At position 1: PlateA-Sector0 lines up with PlateB-Sector23, PlateA-Sector1 lines up with PlateB-Sector0, etc... and so on like that...

Then you can instinctively imagine that there is some tortured PC board design which would satisfy all of these criteria with only a rotor and stator, using some concentric rings of brush contacts and plates and a horrifying mess of layers to bridge different parts of the boards together...

Exactly how that would look doesn't matter so much, it's more just a mental exercise to prove that a Wimshurst does not definitively require counter-rotating disks...

in reply to Wolf480pl

Now that we're convinced it's *possible*, the goal is to design something that actually makes sense.

The drawing is actually kind of wrong, because it's implying that the combs neutralize the plates which they don't, they're just skimming off excess charge once the voltage of the system starts to get too high.

What's happening is you have two imbalances playing off of each other as follows:

Backside (bigger circle) being negative at the upper-right and positive at the lower left pushes electrons on the frontside to the lower-left, creating the green circle.

Frontside being negative on the lower-right and positive on the upper-left pushes electrons on the backside from lower-right to upper-left, creating the orange circle.

Putting this into a rotor and stator model is fairly simple, all you need to do is imagine separating the disks so they are not in proximity. Since we still need to push the electrons over the neutralizer, we put a stationary plate across from it and wire that to a brush in the same place on the other disk.

Now that the two disks are separated in physical space, all we need to do is flip one of them and integrate the two into the same physical disk and we have made a rotor-stator Wimshurst.

in reply to Caleb James DeLisle

Following the paper drawing I did, if you flip the left side disk top-to-bottom, it reverses the rotation so that now the two are rotating the same direction, and it flips the polarity so that now the two are identical. So you can obviously just eliminate it and wire the one disk to itself, and when you do, you arrive right back at the Toepler-Holtz machine.

But since a Wimhurst is really just two Toepler-Holtz's siamesed together, it's self-evident that you can achieve the same* effect using two actual Toepler-Holtz machines with the appropriating brushes of each one chained to the fixed disk of the other.

*One slight difference of the Wimhurst is the fact that the disks are close enough to act as a big capacitor which might help with self-starting, but it seems obvious enough that a Toepler-Holtz machine can have its appropriating brushes connected to a small Leyden jar which is not discharged, then use a stationary comb to transfer energy to the main storage bank.

in reply to Wolf480pl

In the 2nd drawn picture, most of the stator is not shown, just the two little square plates representing the parts of the stator which have sectors on them.

Careful with this because when you look at the plate and neutralizer brush, it looks like it won't swap the polarity. The reason it does is because the neutralizer only touches for a second while the sector is over the plate, so at that point it's neutral, and when the sector moves away from the charged plate then it is not neutral anymore.
