Community members of slain Palestinian activist go on hunger strike demanding Israel release his body

Awdah Hathaleen was killed by Israeli settler Yinon Levy in broad daylight. The perpetrator walks free, while Awdah’s body has been held hostage by the Israeli army. The village of Umm al-Khair is going on hunger strike to recover his body.

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.

Given emotional toddler crumple trump has never evinced a shred of evidence he cares about ANYONE but himself, one interpretation of his haranguing RFKrap wondering why "people aren't healthier yet" is that it is projection over his concern about his own dying, corrupt mass of scheißefleisch and its ongoing deterioration toward his demise.

@HarriettMB Agreed--and indeed, he may just be slamming RFK for not fucking up HHS fast enough or hard enough. However, I'm not so sure there's anything "deep" inside that shallow, self-centered passel of nasty neurons of RFK though karmic justice would see him getting a cocktail of infections and a stage IV pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Sadly, such justice doesn't exist.

Nations to try again to confront world's 'spiraling' #plastic #pollution

Nations gather in Geneva Tues to try to complete a landmark #treaty aimed at ending the #PlasticPollution crisis that affects every #ecosystem & person on the planet.

It’s the 6th time negotiators are meeting & they hope the last. A key split is whether the treaty should require cutting plastic production, w/powerful #oil-producing nations opposed; most plastic is made from #FossilFuels.

#UnitedNations #Environment Programme Executive Director Inger Andersen said the issues are complex but the crisis is “really spiraling” & there’s a narrow pathway to a #treaty. She said many countries agree on redesigning #plastic products to be #recycled & improving #waste management, for example.

Between 19 million & 23 million tons of plastic waste leak into #AquaticEcosystems annually, that could jump 50% by 2040 without urgent action, according to the #UN.

About 300 businesses that are members of the Business Coalition for a Global #PlasticsTreaty — companies such as Walmart, the Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, & L’Oréal—support reducing production along with increasing recycling & reuse. The coalition includes major food & beverage companies & retailers who want an effective, binding treaty with global rules to spare them the headaches of differing approaches in different countries.

»Der 7. Oktober. Dieser Tag war für viele Israelis ein Schock – auf vielen Ebenen. Plötzlich schlugen Palästinenser, die man für machtlos hielt, brutal zu. Sie töteten nicht nur Zivilisten, sondern auch Hunderte israelische Soldaten. Sie überrannten Armeestützpunkte. Es dauerte Tage, bis die IDF die Kontrolle zurückgewann. Diese Erfahrung hat zu einem tiefen Gefühl der Unsicherheit, des Hasses und der Rache geführt – und zu einer Bereitschaft, extreme Gewalt zu akzeptieren.«

»Sie sagen: Für viele Israelis ist das Töten inzwischen normal?«

»Etwa 30 Prozent der Bevölkerung, würde ich sagen, sind offen dafür – sie sprechen von Zerstörung, Auslöschung, ohne Umschweife. Die Mehrheit dagegen will einfach nicht genau hinsehen. Wenn sie morgen hörten, dass die Palästinenser nach Kanada „ausgewandert“ seien, würden viele nicht einmal fragen, wie das passiert ist. Das ist das Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Dehumanisierung.«

We spend a lot of time talking about AI's technical capabilities: what it can do now, what it might do tomorrow, what it will never do. But AI is only secondarily a tech phenomenon; it is primarily a *financial* phenomenon, hundreds of billions of dollars in investment capital in search of a return.

A group of miserable men walking in a circle (Van Gogh's 'Prisoners'); they are cupped in two giant hands, between which protrudes a raygun that is bathing them in a sinister yellow-red light. In one corner sits a supremely self-satisfied business man, reclining in a comfortable chair, surrounded by fluffy clouds. The background is a hellscape of red smoke and brimstone.

So #Parliament was #manipulated. Makes sense. There's obviously some deep-state shit going on here regarding #Israel and #Gaza. Normal human-beings do not act like what we're seeing regarding #Palestine. Normal human-beings don't support #genocide, let alone take concrete steps to enable it to continue to happen. Definitely some deep-state cabal bullshit going on somewhere. Either that or Netanyahu has so much dirty laundry on the West's politicians that it would put Game of Thrones to shame. ---

"Israel is starving Gaza. It’s genocide. It’s a crime against humanity. It’s a war crime. I have been repeating it and repeating it and repeating it" - Michael Fakhri, UN special rapporteur on the right to food

"We have never seen a civilian population made to go so hungry so quickly and so completely, that is the consensus among starvation experts … Intentionally depriving people of food is clearly a war crime. Israel has announced its intention to destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part, simply for being Palestinian … this is now a situation of genocide." (quote from February 2024)

Pire encore, cette politique de #Trump – qui interdit le versement de fonds d’aide aux sinistrés à tout État ou ville américaine boycottant #Israël – s’applique uniquement à Israël.
Ils peuvent boycotter la France, le Pérou, les Émirats arabes unis, la Corée du Sud ou même d’autres États américains et obtenir des fonds : ils ne peuvent tout simplement pas boycotter Israël.

#OnThisDay, 5 Aug 1888, Bertha Benz drove from Mannheim to Pforzheim: the first journey of 100+km in a car by *anyone*.

She'd got tired of her husband tinkering with his prototype so took it on the road with her sons. And without him.

Along the way, she made running repairs to the engine and realised there would need to be refueling stations.

There is a single mandatory religion that supersedes all other values systems.

It is called The Economy. There are magic numbers that ascribe value to things that are violent, exploitative, and toxic, and ascribe no value to most things required for functional planetary ecosystems.

Fortunately, a new study has managed to legitimize local climate action under the rationale of this mandatory religion!
