SET TEN - ROUND ONE - MATCH FOUR

"D.I.Y. by John Wiswell" (2023 - J Yang) / "The Tragedy" (1903 - Pablo Picasso)

D.I.Y. BY JOHN WISWELL: [no additional commentary] (anonymous)

THE TRAGEDY: I was lucky enough to see it in person in D.C and I STARED at it for hours. It is one of the first art pieces that truly engaged me. Look at the depth of color in this!! There are layers and layers, scratched off and blended and mixing together. It’s blackened around the edges and in flecks across the canvas like an old photograph. This intensely emotional, impressionistic, virtuosic use of color, contrasted with thick black lines defining the people? Drives me UP THE WALL. Everybody has a foot out like it’s some macabre camp song, but only the child’s hands are visible, like they’re trying to fix something, the heaviness of which they can sense, but that they mostly comprehend as the fact that the adults are upset. PLUS the two figures on the right are both very Grecio-Roman faces, intensely shadowed, while you can SEE cubism creeping in on the woman’s face?! And the background is just three blocks of color but again they’re so varied and MOODY and evocative. This painting makes me need to vibrate at high frequencies and be crushed by a hydraulic press (@green-cargaytions)

("D.I.Y. by John Wiswell" is a piece commissioned by Tor.com for a piece of original fiction. It was done by J Yang, a queer Asian-American artist.

"The Tragedy" is an oil on wood painting by Pablo Picasso during his Blue Period. It measures 105 × 69 cm (41.3 × 27.2 in) and is held at the National Gallery of Art.)

Bad Batch Headcanons - Skin Conditions

I’ve had this on my mind for way too long now and I NEED to write it down.

For context: I think that their mutations and “enhancements” had some side effects and actually made them more sensitive or gave them some other issues, this is one of many. Maybe Regs have to deal with this too, but I’m running with the Bad Batch for now.

TW: skin conditions, acne, eczema, a little blood? self-harm and injury

Hunter

first of all - he has like the most sensitive skin ever

I’m talking unscented, only natural ingredients, ph-neutral, everything you can imagine

soap made from ash, lime and oil, like, really specific and gentle shit

but on the other hand worst mixed skin ever, goes from crazy oily to dryer than Tatooine at least once a week

he’s either looking like a glazed donut or a shedding lizard

he’d straight up put cooking oil on his face bc “oil is good for dry skin, right?

someone tell this man how to take care of himself istg

bandana hides his greasy roots

bandana may be tied in different styles to hide his dandruff

he‘s highkey insecure about it

he‘s shedding like a dog, his hair is everywhere

in the shower, on the bed sheets, in the food if he cooks

if he ever shaves, doesn’t matter where or how he’s getting the worst razor burn and ingrown hairs ever

he’s getting all the issues

also, a big candidate for body acne?

he gives me back acne vibes

doesn’t wash his bedsheets or towel nearly often enough

they actually all (accidentally?) share a towel and never wash it, I’m convinced

Tech

his skin is dry af like, eczema / neurodermitis / psoriasis dry

especially his hands and joints, like the inside of knees and elbows

and around his eyes, especially because of his goggles/glasses, but also in the corners

he researched everything but sometimes just can’t help it and almost scratches his skin off

Hunter makes him wear cotton gloves when he goes to bed

that’s why he never sleeps

Crosshair straight up ties his hands with bandages so he can’t scratch himself

also a very dry scalp / dandruff candidate

should spend all of his time moisturising

tinkering around the marauder and getting into contact with motor oils/hydraulic liquids/fuel only makes it so so so much worse

doesn't wear skin protection, especially not gloves because it 'inhabits his motor functions'

don't get me started on his nails and nailbeds, because I can see how inflamed and irritated the skin is

the skin also peels off

sweaty hands

has a lot of moles?

stresses about said moles

Wrecker

has the nicest skin ever

except for a big pore / blackhead here and there

usually around the nose or on his forehead

literally the guy who either doesn't use soap or uses the same bar of soap to wash everything

it works

healthy glow might be mistaken for oily skin but it's actually not

actually gets a sunburn often, especially on his head, but refuses to do anything about it

turns into a lobster on uv-light-intense missions

red skin, really tight and shiny

sometimes, if crosshair is feeling really mean he gives him a brotherly slap on the sunburnt shoulder

he gets mouth sores sometimes, like cold sores?

also very attractive to mosquitos? he sweats a lot

scratches his mosquito bites so there are little scars all over his body

really random but occasionally he gets like one big aggressive butt pimple and can't sit for a few days

is very vocal about said butt pimple

Crosshair

my beloved

he's also getting all the issues

had very bad acne as a cadet

especially around his chin and cheeks to the point he straight up refused to take off his helmet

now that he's done with puberty he has a bunch of acne scars left

still breaks out sometimes

very sensitive to water - he just washes his face like usual and suddenly breaks out because that particular planet's water is 'weird'

so much acne but dry af skin, it's hard to combat

skin picking as self harm

aggressive nail biter; not only the nails but the skin around it

he's actually one big hangnail

and his nailbeds and sides are always inflamed

toothpicks to stop him from picking his skin

or to try to stop him from smoking but this is not a mental health / addiction headcanon

I'm convinced he has the ugliest, driest old man elbows and knees, I just know that they look weird

Echo

technically a reg, I know

but his prosthetics sometimes don't sit right, so there's a lot of friction and a high risk of irritated skin, blisters and sores

he's so pale - not surprised at all if he gets sunburnt quickly

reminds everyone to use lotion / sunscreen

learned the hard way bc he listened to Fives

tries to keep everyone from making stupid mistakes

buir mode activated

Omega

baby

baby skin

for now

Echo attempts to keep her in check

gets one really bad sunburn and learns her lesson

can't move for 3 business days

also, not a skin condition but she spends 5 seconds in direct sunlight and is just covered in freckles

have this wip of a freud/621 pwp where they're fighting while they're fucking you're welcome (this wip is mostly sfw)

Freud was on the hunt. 

The heavy footfalls of his steel-capped boots echoed loudly as he prowled through the dimly lit storage facility for the Vesper’s main base of operations in Belius, the towering stacks of shipping containers and crates creating an angular maze with plenty of dead-ends and blind spots. His only source of light was his flashlight that normally hung from his toolbelt when he wasn’t in his piloting rig - after all, if he wasn’t piloting, he was doing mechanical work on LOCKSMITH. 

Or hunting his favourite playmate. 

Belius was in its night cycle, and most good little pilots like Pater were in their bunk, snoring away. But their newest and most difficult member? V.VII Raven was scurrying around after hours, throwing up the figurative middle finger at his enforced curfew despite Snail’s teeth-gritted demands for him to adhere to Vesper hierarchy. 

If it were anyone else, Raven would’ve been tossed headfirst into re-education until his surprising rebelliousness had been stamped out, but fortunately for him, Freud intervened on his behalf. He liked Raven as he was: feral, vicious, always looking minutes away from ripping out his throat with his teeth - and as V.I, he overruled V.II’s increasingly strained suggestion to bring that mutt to heel.

Like hell. Freud was letting this beast run loose for the fun of it. It was Snail’s own fault if he kept letting himself get bitten. 

(He wasn’t even being figurative about it. Since capturing Raven and browbeating him into uneasy compliance by holding Walter’s life over his head, Snail had been bitten by Raven on four separate occasions, the last almost resulting in a lost thumb. To be honest, Freud was pretty certain Snail deserved it in some way. You’d think he’d learn to stay away after the first time, let alone the third.)

While Raven was obedient in terms of carrying out Vesper missions flawlessly, outside of the cockpit he was an agent of surly chaos. Freud thought it cute, though, and he always enjoyed these little games of theirs. After all, there was a reason why Freud was in the storage facility after hours, wandering around this faux maze with nothing but a little flashlight lighting his way… 

“Raven~” Freud called in a teasing lilt. “I know you’re here. You didn’t cover up your trail very well…”

A trail that Freud could see crystal clear beneath the glare of his flashlight. Small boot prints tracked across the concrete floor, an oily sheen to them: because it was an oil, and probably a mix of lubricant and other fluids required for effective AC functioning. Freud had tracked this trail from LOCKSMITH’s sabotaged hydraulics and fuel system all the way to this storage facility, more amused than annoyed about the damage to his AC. 

It was an easy fix, barely a few hours of work. Besides, the aim wasn’t to sabotage LOCKSMITH, it was to catch Freud’s attention. 

He followed the dwindling boot prints until he came to a dead-end… at a glance. He scanned the towering containers, just in case Raven was lying in wait for him up there (happened last time, where the little bastard had jumped on Freud like a rabid monkey and tried strangling him), but there was nothing he could see. However, the dead-end was a wall, and that wall had a ventilation opening, just big enough for someone as small and scrawny as Raven to slither into. 

Said ventilation opening had its grate removed too. 

“Really,” Freud sighed, kneeling down in front of it and shining his torch up there. “How am I meant to fit in there…” 

He could probably squeeze in and have enough space to crawl, but he’d be damned if he encountered a sharp corner. He wasn’t that flexible, and unlike the augmented assholes in the Vespers, Freud was beholden to the march of time. He was in his late thirties, and his joints weren’t as bendy as they used to be. Though, maybe he could-

“Ngh!”

-a sudden weight rammed into his back, and it was only his quick reflexes that stopped him from braining himself against the edge of the ventilation duct. He frantically slammed his forearm against the wall, and pushed back, landing hard on whoever had body slammed into him and hearing that familiar, wheezy grunt of Raven having all the air squashed out of his lungs. It was a very distinct noise.

Cheeky little- he ambushed him!

Grinning ferally, Freud twisted around and tried to get Raven into a headlock, but the smaller mercenary was as slippery as an eel. He dropped his flashlight during the fray, a stray kick sending it spinning and half-blinding him as he wrestled with Raven in the dark. The merc didn’t hold back his punches at all - literally. Freud had to bite back a grunt of pain when Raven full on slugged him in the chest, clearly going for the solar plexus and narrowly missing it - but it left him open in exchange. 

Freud grabbed his arm and twisted it violently, Raven letting out a strained, gasping snarl of pain, and slammed the mercenary face down on the floor. Raven thrashed and squirmed underneath him, even trying to twist around to bite him, but with his arm firmly held against his back, he wasn’t going anywhere. 

Freud was the victor, and he took his rightful throne of sitting on the back of Raven’s thighs as a result. 

“Well…” he panted, winded from that punch. Even if it missed his solar plexus, it still knocked the air out of him, damn. “You got me good for a second there, scavenger bird.” 

Raven hissed at him like a cat. 

“You were hoping to concuss me, hm?” Freud murmured, his blood still running hot but not quite clouding his mind as he thought back to that whole exchange. It would’ve worked. If Freud hadn’t been so quick on his reflexes, he would’ve smashed face first into the wall, leaving him disorientated. Raven would’ve capitalised on that, and…

But, it didn’t quite work out like that. Freud had been that little bit faster, but the ambush had still been pretty good. Freud got a little too complacent. 

“Looks like I won, though.” Freud shifted his weight and, still keeping Raven’s arm twisted behind his back, pressed his body in close, so he could murmur into his ear: “That means I get to decide the penalty.”

Raven didn’t respond or move. His free arm was slightly extended past his shoulders, and the narrow beam of his flashlight shone directly onto his scarred fingers. They were twitching slightly, like Raven was fighting down some sort of response, and Freud couldn’t help but smile. Down but not beaten… if Freud wasn’t careful, Raven might try going for the eyes again. 

Keeping his heavy-lidded gaze on Raven’s twitching fingers, he nosed his dark, half-curled hair before gently biting his ear. The mercenary flinched beneath him, and Freud pressed his half-hard erection against the firm swell of Raven’s ass, grinding languidly. 

Raven’s twitching fingers curled into a loose fist.

Biafra: The Rising Sun of Africa

Biafra is a land bubbling with abundant human talents and resources. This is apart from the crude oil, God has blessed us with in the land. But, we are under subjugation by Nigeria Authorities since time immemorial. Independence of Biafra will be a great boost to our potentials. It will be like releasing the lions out of the zoo. We are really in a “Zoo Republic: with restrictions and maltreatments here and there.

Independent Biafra will be a land of milk and honey. Currently, we are wallowing in abject poverty and penury, in the midst of plenty. Our people in diaspora, are making waves in all areas of human endeavours in: manufacturing, medicine, engineering, agriculture, internet, name them. They are among the best, if not the very best. But right here in Nigeria, talents are being killed.

Nigerian authorities prefer foreign goods and services at exorbitant prices, to patronizing locally made ones, especially the ones from Biafra. Take for instance importation of refined petroleum products. Most of those locally constructed refineries, (they call them illegal refineries) in occupied Biafra, if licensed to operate, are capable of meeting our local consumption needs; and even exporting to neighbouring countries. A lot of those manning the local refineries are qualified Engineers and Technicians, who couldn’t gain employment in Federal Establishments like NNPC, due to tribalism and nepotism of Hausa/Fulani Government. The latter will always destroy those structures and round the people up.

We call on tribal Nigerian Government to reopen Chemical Engineering Department of University of Nigeria Nsukka in Biafra, shut down after the Nigeria civil war. The department played prominent role in the refining of crude oil into very clean: petrol, kerosene, diesel and other products. They were of very high quality. The school was also involved in production of hydraulic brake fluid for cars. Cocoa nut fluid was mixed with other substances to form it. They as well produced aviation fuel. The continued closure of the department is retrogressive.

Engineer Ezekiel Izuogu was frustrated from having car manufacturing company. He wanted to use hundred percent local materials. He produced a sample of the car. He made passionate appeal to the government for help. His request was never granted. One night, unknown gun men went and carted away his inventions. Those items couldn’t be traced anywhere till today. That ended his ambition. Nigeria is a land that kills talents.

A lot of inventions are going on in Biafra on daily basis. People are inventing cars, airplanes, generators without fuel, and so on. There is no encouragement. The Government won’t allow their products to be patronized by people, even if they are better than imported ones.

Biafra will be an advanced and industrialized country, shortly after its freedom from Hausa/Fulani colonialism. Biafran Government will revive moribund industries, and companies that litter our land. There will be massive employment opportunities. Youths fleeing abroad for means of livelihood, will be thing of the past. Crime rate will drastically reduce, as almost everybody will be engaged in one useful venture or another. Idle mind they say is the devil’s workshop.

Currency of the land of rising sun will be strong and stable; comparable to strong foreign currencies, like dollar and Euro. Black marketing of foreign exchange by Northerners, have been causing downward plunge of naira for decades now. Their bothers in Government give them those hard currencies, stolen from oil sale proceeds, to sell at ever increasing high rate to naira.

“Give them Biafra, in the next 20 years their country will become paradise”_ Gowon told Buhari.

“Give them Biafra in the next 50 years, they will become the world power”_ Queen told Obama.

“Give them Biafra in the next 5 years, we will become their slave and be begging them for food”_ Nigeria told UN.

“Give them Biafra in the next 50 years, each Biafra will be richer than any Governor in the world”_ the economist told the world.

“If Nigeria refuses to give us Biafra, every living thing in it will die. I repeat, if Nigeria refuses to give us Biafra, every living thing in it will die. BIAFRA OR DEATH”_Nnamdi Kanu told the world.

When Biafra is firmly established, we are going to take the world by storm.

Biafra needs a new generation of leaders, who are seriously involved in the struggle for actualization of our land. No saboteur, collaborator with Hausa/fulanis, or rogue politician, will be allowed to participate in the governance of the land. Currently, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the undisputed Biafra apex leader; along with his colleagues in IPOB. He has demonstrated the real leadership qualities, and unshakable commitment to the struggle. He has refused to be bribed or intimidated into submission. He rejected bribes money running into billions of dollars. God Almighty has actually entrusted him with the leadership of Biafra.

We won’t permit vultures and traitors, hiding under leadership of one socio-cultural organization or the other, to hijack the leadership or governance of Biafra. Take for example Ohaneze. The so-called leaders are elected, or selected by handful of members. They are never elected by the generality of Igbos. They are never representing Igbos or their interests. These crooks are only after their own selfish interests. Such persons use their headship of those mushroom groups, to sell out their people to Northern dominated Nigeria Government, for one favour or the other.

Most of them are discredited “retired politicians.” Some of them were former Ministers, Governors and Federal legislators; while some are still at the corridor of power. They are being used to undermine Biafra struggle, in pursuit of so-called Igbo President. Igbo elite are the most gullible, and self-centred set of people on earth. As well, they allowed themselves to be deceived, used, and dumped by their ill-educated, and half-educated Northern rulers for decades now.

While in office, these charlatans from Biafra loot the treasury under their care with impunity. They stockpile billions of stolen money, with the intention to pursue their narrow Presidential, or Vice Presidential ambitions; which they can never realize. They begin by buying their way, to become Presidents of socio- cultural groupings. We won’t allow them to play any leadership role in Biafra; even advisory role. They cannot reap where they didn’t sow. You cannot make a rogue your adviser.

Igboland is not landlocked. It is the imagination of our oppressive rulers, since the so-called independence. Our land was excluded in the establishment of seaports, among other deprivations. The Orashi River in Oseakwa Ihiala LGA, in Anambra State, is the closest potential seaport we have in Igbo land, that links to Atlantic Ocean. Lagos seaport to Atlantic Ocean is 60 nautical miles. Oseakwa project abandoned in 1959, is only 18 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean. When dredged, Oseakwa seaport can conveniently serve people in South South, South East, and part of Middle Belt. It is potentially the deepest seaport in Nigeria.

Osemoto in Oguta, Imo State is another potential seaport, which is also 18 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean. It is the deepest natural harbor in the country; over 20m deep. We are being relegated to the background, in all spheres of life. But Biafra restoration will take care of all these deprivations. https://powertrumpeter.org/blog2/?p=309.

Outsider pt 1 (3/19)

Outsider Series

3. Strange Weather

The odor of motor oil mixed with gasoline and hydraulic fluid coaxed him awake.

Heavy lids fluttered open under dirty strains of hair. His head hung at a neck breaking angle, it throbbed at the temple when jerked to lift it. Fragments of his memory flickered, dull images of violence floated in and out of focus. She was there, the face of a woman-scared and hunted, but there none the less. Black hair surrounded a brown angelic face, a mouth stretched in pain, and tears-so many tears.

His thoughts were interrupted by the distant beating of helicopter blades that reverberated around. The sound derailed any effort he was making at rebuilding the last few hours. He shifted his weight to the left to ease the ache in his ribs, he pulled at his arm but nothing gave.

Bucky turned his head toward a large machine where his metal arm laid trapped in a vice.

“Hey Cap!” The voice of a man called out.

Bucky heard the footfalls of two men coming toward him as he slowly shifted up his body. The tall dark figure of a man, Sam Wilson, approached first, but his eyes slid to the man he knew to be his friend.

“Steve.” He croaked.

America’s soldier took tentative steps toward him.

“Which Bucky am I talking to?” He demanded.

“Your mom’s name was Sarah.”

He caught the memory that swirled into his mind of Steve before the serum. He could still see the skinny young man as he was, determined.

“You use to stuff newspaper in your shoes.” He chuckled, the sensation nearly felt foreign to him as it slipped out with the memory.

“You can’t read that in a museum.” Relieved, Steve allowed this small victory.

“Just like that we’re supposed to be cool?” Sam said bluntly.

Bucky knew the answer before he asked as to how he got out of the JTC. Same as it always was.

Fighting.

“What did I do?”

“Enough.” said Steve.

“Oh god, I knew this would happen. Everything Hydra put inside is still there. All he had to do was say the god damn words.”

There was a time in his life where his mere presence baited attention from the room. With jazz in his step and that supple cool gaze he absorbed the admiration. A magnetic charming personality seeped from a young vibrant smile. His eyes dazzled and usurped the will of both men and women alike when he glanced at them. He was a man’s man, a woman’s best dream, and he found himself effortlessly loving it.

He once had dreams of being a top savvy business man who traveled, hell, maybe even an artist. As a young man, he spent his time on the outskirts of social circles. He liked to dip in and sneak out, taking only what he needed from them in the end. Leaving his soul fed with a reality of his making.

The dreams of the present, those damn dreams. They peppered his mind with scenes of madness. Eliciting dark fantasies of stripping freedom from people where he had none. The dark visions insisted violence where he wanted nothing more than peace. But he allowed them to sustain the deep sorrow. anyway.  It meant he was alive at least. Though peace of mind never looked so good and at the same time never looked so far away as it did in the medical facility in Wakanda.

“I can’t trust my own mind.”

The memories would have to quiet now. Sleep was coming, a deep agitated slumber to ease the brutality of his actions into a dreamless hibernation.

“I think going back under is the best thing. For everybody.”

But he could fall asleep to visions of her. The one he had stolen her sense of safety from. He could see pieces of the moment now if he thought on it long enough. 

And he did in the few days since Siberia. When he had ripped her happiness away. He wouldn’t wish those images on his worst enemy. In these last few minutes before going under he could give it back though. 

In his own way, under his own control he could alter that moment in his mind. Maybe in a way his soul could be forgiven for his actions. So Bucky imaged a better outcome for her and him. One where she wasn’t terrified and where he could see a smile instead of that heartbreaking frown of horror.

He had been thinking about her long before this moment occurred. Rehashing and pasting together what happened piece by fragile piece. And it had alarmed him at first when he caught on to the obsession of remembering. But he never was very good at keeping up with the morals of others. It was no use trying to live up to their ideals, anyway. Except to gauge where he could lose himself in the in between of their structured ethics and values. He had nothing to lose.

He lay back in the pod, taking slow deep breaths, and the sounds of clicking and prodding were ignored. He didn’t mind it. And he did not let it become a nuisance to the image he saw behind his eyes lids.

Her heart was full of happiness. The love he felt when he gazed at those chestnut colored eyes of hers was immeasurable. What a pretty girl. It was like looking at a piece of him that had long been lost to time and torture. She lived free and untamed who, like him, was in touch with her desires for stability but appreciated the fresh and unseen. And he knew that he only had to ask her to follow him. Together they could chase freedom. But he watched her smile in his dream, a smothering goodness radiated from bright loving eyes. She was a work of art that emitted serenity and security, the person he wished he was now. Hair the color of black jade tickled his palms as she leaned into him.

She wasn’t scared of him.

She was his home for now.

She sustained him.

He would let this beautiful dream take him as he felt the broken parts of his mind shut down.

Heron by Carl Olsson

Arrangement

Heron of Alexandria invented a mechanical theatre. 1900 years later, I have created a hydraulic successor and with it I have given Heron over to his torture. 

In short, I have arranged a device for the compression of birds.

There is in this machine a relative of the egret. Every time I peer into my garden, I see the retracted neck atop its pedestal. 

According to the instructions that should have been passed down from Heron (but were not), to arrange an automatic theatre one needs a tight latex suit and a ball gag – one with repurposed breathing holes.

Heron never managed to write this, but I can write it now:

Let there be wine and white milk spurting out of the beak and mix in a pool below for others to ingest.

This takes place as follows: Two small pipes are attached beneath the bird’s feet, protruding from two holes in the surface of the pedestal. Let the pipes extend upward, past the folded legs, into the latex integument and through the cavities of the bird with their openings attached to inward face of the ball. Wine and milk is pressured through these pipes to pour out of the gaping beak.

The automaton takes is driven by the movements of the body inside the latex integument whose energy it harnesses to power the action of a pump.

About the movement of the theatre, Heron should have written that the pedestal slides back and forth on a rail, pulled by knotted ropes drenched in oil. And I say now in addition, let the inside of the latex integument also be covered in a generous amount of oil. That is, behind the latex there is a need for lubrication, though I must add that it should never be so much as to spill behind the gag, for that is the domain of the two pipes that exude wine and white milk and it may not be contaminated by any other liquids. The innermost space must thus be parched aside from wine and white milk (one might devise a motorized pump to extract bodily effluvia in the opposite direction (these are to be discarded and never seen by any audience)).

Against an arrangement such as the one described here the first threat is a rapid expansion of the compressed state. Although the relative of the egret has come to enjoy its situation with time (or has at least accepted it), until then the threat of uncontrolled expansion remained very serious. To avoid it, I used to stand for a time in the garden and examine my hydraulic display on a daily basis. I still polish its exterior and add oil when it is needed but with far less urgency. That way, the arrangement can be maintained for a long time and I will not grow bored of its appearance.

Principles of sympathetic torture

Heron of Alexandria was a first-century mathematician, inventor and the author of numerous technical manuscripts including two treatises on the construction of automata. An automaton in the relevant sense is a mechanical imitation of life. Ancient and medieval automata were spectacular instruments of wonder, built to bedazzle foreign envoys and royalty.

My hydraulic Heron owes its existence to a German by the name of Moritz Schreber. In the middle of the 19th century, Schreber brought the history of automata to its virtual termination by creating various contraptions that reduced human children to little engines. His machines were built to be moved by children and to move the children in turn. Whereas an automaton mimics life, life now came to mimic the machine. So rather than remedying newborn bodies maligned by the overcrowded cities of the industrial age, which was Schreber’s official motivation for building his contraptions, he unwittingly short-circuited the distinction between animal and machine by giving purposeless labor its proper purpose in augmenting purposelessness. The history of the automaton really ends at the modern gym, where it becomes a tributary to the history of corporeal punishment or gratuitous torture. 

A still unmentioned fact is that the arrangement with the relative of the egret described above was recorded with a hundred chameleons attached to the surrounding walls with duct tape. I did not mention it because such pictures never last for long and for fear of compromising the secrecy that is absolutely indispensable for constructing automata today.

But now that it is done and Truth has fallen on the history of Heron’s mechanical theatre, I can divulge its essential principles with perfect clarity.

The first principle completes the history of automata by inverting it, turning it back against life. The mechanical theatre with the hydraulic Heron is more than an image of life, it is life broken into an image of life as it reaches the high-point of second-order mimicry. Schreber, on his part, went just this far.

A Motorized Bicycle Parts Explained - Anatomy Of A Motor For A Bicycle

The components of a motorbike work together to create a bicycle capable of providing efficient transportation over short to medium distances. This article's goal is to educate readers who are unfamiliar with a motorized bicycle about each component's function. Motor for a bicycle is a two-wheeled vehicle equipped with an engine that provides propulsion. Let's explore its anatomy in more detail.

Frame: The frame forms the backbone of the motor for bicycle, providing structural support and housing for other components. It is typically made of steel or aluminum and is designed to withstand the forces and vibrations generated during operation.

Engine: The engine is the heart of the motor bike, generating power to propel the vehicle. It can be either a two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engine. Two-stroke engines are simpler and lighter but require a mixture of fuel and oil. Four-stroke engines are more complex but offer better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

Fuel Tank: The fuel tank stores the gasoline or fuel mixture required to power the engine. It is usually located in the front or center of the frame, and its capacity can vary depending on the design of the motorized bicycle.

Carburetor: The carburetor is responsible for mixing the fuel and air in the correct ratio before it enters the engine for combustion. It regulates the fuel flow based on the throttle position, ensuring optimal engine performance.

Exhaust System: The exhaust system consists of a series of pipes and a muffler that expels the burnt gases produced during the combustion process. It helps reduce engine noise and directs the exhaust gases away from the rider.

Transmission: Motor for a bicycle typically uses a chain or belt drive system to transmit power from the engine to the rear wheel. The transmission may include a gearbox with multiple gears to provide different speed options.

Clutch: The clutch allows for smooth engagement and disengagement of power between the engine and the transmission. When the clutch lever is pulled, it disengages the engine from the transmission, enabling the rider to change gears or come to a stop without stalling the engine.

Throttle: The throttle is a control mechanism that regulates the engine speed and power output. By twisting the throttle grip, the rider can increase or decrease the amount of fuel and air entering the engine, thus controlling the vehicle's acceleration.

Brakes: These are equipped with brakes to slow down or stop the vehicle. The most common types of brakes used are drum brakes or disc brakes. Drum brakes consist of a brake shoe that presses against the inside of a drum attached to the wheel, while disc brakes use a caliper and brake pads to clamp down on a disc attached to the wheel.

Wheels and Tires: Motorized bicycles typically have two wheels, each equipped with a tire for traction and shock absorption. The wheels can be made of steel or aluminum, and the tires vary depending on the intended use of the motor for a bicycle, with options for on-road or off-road riding.

Suspension: Suspension systems are used to absorb shocks and provide a more comfortable ride. These often feature suspension forks in the front and either spring-based or hydraulic shocks in the rear. These components help to smooth out bumps and uneven terrain.

Lighting: To ensure visibility and safety, motor bikes are equipped with lighting systems. This includes headlights, taillights, and turn signals. These lights can be powered by the electrical system of the motorized bicycle or, in some cases, by a small battery.

Controls and Instruments: These have various controls and instruments to provide essential information to the rider. This includes handlebar-mounted controls for the throttle, clutch, brakes, and lights. Instruments such as a speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge may also be present to keep the rider informed about the vehicle's performance and status.

Display: These days, almost all bike kits and complete bikes come with a rather complex display computer that serves as a dashboard for monitoring operations. From the early days of e-bikes, when the majority of systems only had a few LEDs to display the battery level, this is a wonderful improvement. 

Kickstand: A kickstand is a small mechanism attached to the frame that allows the motor for a bicycle to be parked and supported in an upright position when not in use. It provides convenience and stability when the rider needs to park the vehicle.

These are the primary components that make up the anatomy of a motorized bicycle. By combining these elements, motor for bicycle provide an efficient and convenient mode of transportation for short to medium distances, offering riders the benefits of both a bicycle and a motorized vehicle.

Adulteration vs Dumping vs Recycling- The Responsible Choice for Waste Oil Disposal

 Managing waste oil is a critical responsibility in today’s environmentally conscious world. Whether it's industrial oil, motor oil, or used cooking oil, proper waste oil disposal practices significantly impact environmental health and sustainability. This article delves into three approaches—adulteration, dumping, and recycling—to identify the most responsible method for dealing with waste oil. Along the way, we’ll highlight the importance of waste oil recycling and used cooking oil recycling as sustainable solutions.

Understanding Waste Oil Disposal

Waste oil disposal refers to the process of managing oils that have become unsuitable for their intended use due to contamination, degradation, or extended use. This includes motor oil, hydraulic oil, and cooking oils. Improper disposal can harm ecosystems, pollute waterways, and create long-term environmental challenges. Let's look at three common practices and their implications.

Adulteration: A Dangerous Shortcut

Adulteration is the mixing of waste oil with other substances either to dilute contaminants or make the oil seem reusable. Adulteration is neither a responsible nor a sustainable option for disposing of waste oil. The negative effects of adulteration far outweigh the short-term gains.

Health Hazards of Adulterated Oil

In some alarming cases, adulterated used cooking oil finds its way back into food preparation, especially in unregulated markets. Cooking with such oil 

Releases carcinogens which are linked to increased risks of cancers like liver, stomach, and colon cancer.

Can cause gastrointestinal disturbances such as vomiting, diarrhea, or food poisoning due to residual contaminants.

Can elevate levels of harmful cholesterol in the bloodstream leading to cardiovascular and liver problems.   

Dumping: An Emerging Global Issue

Another very common, illegal form of waste oil disposal is dumping. It involves disposing waste oil into landfills, water bodies, or even open land.

Environmental Risks of Dumping

Soil Degradation:Waste oil dumped on land seeps into the soil, altering its composition. This contamination reduces soil fertility, affecting agricultural productivity and biodiversity.

Water Pollution: Dumped oil spreads on water surfaces, creating a film that prevents oxygen exchange. This suffocates aquatic life and disrupts marine ecosystems. 

Wildlife Endangerment: Birds, mammals, and other species consume the polluted water caused by improper dumping of oil. This leads to poisoning, impaired mobility and compromises the health of animals. In the long run wildlifes are forced to adapt to polluted water bodies causing a range of physical and behavioral changes.

Health Impacts of Dumping

Contaminated Drinking Water: Dumped oil often contaminates groundwater supplies, introducing hazardous chemicals into drinking water sources and increasing risks of gastrointestinal diseases and cancers.

Airborne Toxins from Waste Sites: Waste oil dumped in open areas releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to air pollution and associated respiratory problems in nearby communities.

Legal Implications

Illegal dumping of waste oil is often illegal because of its severe environmental impacts. High penalties and lawsuits are intended to discourage this practice.

Dumping appears to be an easy solution, but the long-term harm caused to ecosystems and biodiversity is not responsible.

Recycling: The Responsible Alternative

Waste oil recycling is the most responsible and sustainable way of managing waste oil. Recycling is a process of treating and reprocessing waste oils to make them reusable, either as fuel, lubricants, or other industrial products.

Advantages of Waste Oil Recycling

Environmental Conservation: The volume of waste oil going into landfills or water bodies is reduced, thus preventing the risks of pollution.

Resource Optimization: Recycled oil can be transformed into valuable products, thus reducing the demand for virgin oil extraction.

Energy Efficiency: Used oil is rich in energy and can be reused as a substitute fuel, reducing carbon footprints. 

Used Cooking Oil Recycling

Used cooking oil recycling is an emerging industry that is propelled by the need for green energy alternatives. Used cooking oil can be processed into biodiesel, which is a cleaner-burning fuel that decreases greenhouse gases. It can also be utilized in animal feed, cosmetics, and even soap.

Biofuel production from used cooking oil has the following implications-

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to petroleum-based fuels.

Provides economic opportunities by supporting green energy initiatives.

Minimizes the clogging of sewage systems, a common issue caused by the improper disposal of cooking oils.

Steps in Waste Oil Recycling

Collection: Waste oil is collected from households, restaurants, or industries.

Filtration and Purification: Impurities and contaminants are removed through special equipment.

Repurposing: The treated oil is repurposed for various applications, which may include fuel production or manufacturing.

What Can You Do?

Engage in Recycling Programs: Look for certified recycling companies like Ecoil which converts used cooking oil into biofuels for selling your used cooking oil especially if you are a commercial eatery.

Educate Your Community: Spread awareness about harmful impacts of consuming and disposing used oil through awareness campaigns and workshops.

Adopt Eco-Friendly Alternatives: Encourage businesses and industries to prioritize recycling over environmentally damaging disposal methods.

Be Aware and Inquisitive: Whenever you eat outside, check with your chef to ensure that food you eat is cooked in fresh oil.

Conclusion

Adulteration and dumping are harmful practices that amplify environmental degradation and health hazards. On the other hand, waste oil recycling is a sustainable solution that conserves natural resources and encourages a circular economy. In choosing recycling, individuals and businesses contribute to a cleaner, greener future.

How Hydraulic Fracturing Works: A Comprehensive Guide

Source: Image by JamesReillyWilson

Category: Upstream, Exploration & Production (E&P)

  

Hydraulic fracturing, also known as “fracking,” is a revolutionary process that has transformed the energy industry worldwide. By enabling access to previously unreachable natural gas and oil reserves, hydraulic fracturing has played a critical role in meeting global energy demands. This article will provide an in-depth look at how hydraulic fracturing works, its benefits, and the associated environmental concerns.

Introduction to Hydraulic Fracturing

The basic principle of hydraulic fracturing involves injecting high-pressure fluid into underground rock formations to create fractures. These fractures allow oil and gas to flow more freely from the rock into production wells, which can then bring these resources to the surface.

The process has been in use for decades, but technological advancements in horizontal drilling have made it more effective and widespread. Today, hydraulic fracturing is used extensively in countries like the United States, Canada, and even India, as it helps tap into unconventional energy sources like shale gas and tight oil. But before we dive deeper, let’s break down how hydraulic fracturing works in detail.

How Hydraulic Fracturing Works: Step-by-Step

1. Well Drilling

The first step in hydraulic fracturing is to drill a well. In most cases, horizontal drilling is used to maximize the area where fracturing can occur. Vertical drilling is performed initially until the drill reaches the desired depth, at which point it turns horizontally to penetrate the oil or gas-rich rock formations. This horizontal section of the well is critical as it increases the contact area with the rock, allowing more gas or oil to be extracted.

2. Casing the Well

After drilling the well, the next step is to install a steel casing. This casing provides structural integrity to the well and ensures that the injected fluids do not contaminate groundwater sources. Multiple layers of casing are typically used to safeguard against leaks.

3. Injecting the Fracturing Fluid

https://oilgasenergymagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12.1-Injecting-the-Fracturing-Fluid-Source-energyeducation.ca_.jpg

Once the well is secured, a specialized fracturing fluid, made primarily of water (90%), sand (9.5%), and chemical additives (0.5%), is injected into the well at high pressure. The high-pressure fluid travels through the horizontal section of the well, forcing open small cracks or fractures in the rock formation. This is where the magic of how hydraulic fracturing works happens. The pressure must be high enough to overcome the rock’s natural strength and create fractures that will act as pathways for trapped hydrocarbons to flow through.

4. Propping the Fractures Open

As the rock fractures, the sand in the fracturing fluid acts as a “proppant.” Its role is to keep the fractures open once the pressure is reduced. Without the proppant, the fractures would close due to the earth’s natural forces, trapping the oil and gas once again. The sand particles hold these fractures open, ensuring the oil or gas can flow freely to the wellbore.

5. Flowback and Production

After the fracturing process is complete, the pressure is reduced, and the injected fluid begins to flow back to the surface. This “flowback” water, which contains a mix of water, chemicals, and sand, is collected for treatment and reuse or disposal. The fractures remain open, allowing the trapped oil or gas to flow to the well and then be pumped to the surface.

Benefits of Hydraulic Fracturing

Understanding how hydraulic fracturing works highlights its advantages in energy production:

1. Unlocks Unconventional Resources

Fracking allows us to tap into energy reserves that were previously inaccessible, such as shale gas and tight oil. These unconventional resources significantly increase global energy supplies, reducing reliance on foreign oil imports.

2. Economic Growth

https://oilgasenergymagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12.2-Economic-Growth-Image-by-ipopba-from-Getty-Images.jpg

The hydraulic fracturing industry has generated millions of jobs, especially in regions where energy production is a major economic driver. It has also contributed to lower energy costs, benefiting both consumers and industries.

3. Increased Energy Security

By utilizing domestic resources, countries can achieve greater energy independence, reducing geopolitical risks associated with relying on foreign energy imports.

Environmental Concerns

While hydraulic fracturing has transformed the energy landscape, it is not without its controversies. Critics point to various environmental concerns associated with the process, which include:

1. Water Consumption

Hydraulic fracturing requires significant amounts of water, and in regions where water scarcity is already an issue, this can place additional strain on local water supplies.

2. Water Contamination

Although wells are encased to prevent leaks, there is always the potential for groundwater contamination if the well casing fails. Chemicals used in the fracturing fluid can also pose risks if they escape into water sources.

3. Earthquakes

One of the lesser-known risks of hydraulic fracturing is the potential for induced seismic activity. While fracking itself may not directly cause significant earthquakes, the disposal of wastewater into underground wells has been linked to seismic events in some areas.

4. Air Pollution

https://oilgasenergymagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12.3-Air-Pollution-Image-by-rui_noronha-from-Getty-Images.jpg

The release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, during the extraction process is another concern. While natural gas is considered cleaner than coal, methane leaks can offset some of its environmental benefits.

Regulatory Measures

Given these environmental concerns, governments around the world have implemented regulations to mitigate the risks associated with hydraulic fracturing. In the United States, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed stringent rules on wastewater disposal, chemical disclosure, and air emissions. Similarly, in India, where the government is exploring shale gas development, regulatory frameworks are being established to ensure the safe and sustainable use of hydraulic fracturing technology.

Conclusion: How Hydraulic Fracturing Works for the Future

Hydraulic fracturing has revolutionized energy production, providing access to vast reserves of oil and natural gas that were once out of reach. By understanding how hydraulic fracturing works, we can appreciate both its benefits and its potential risks. As technology continues to improve and regulations become more stringent, the future of hydraulic fracturing may strike a balance between energy production and environmental protection.

In conclusion, how hydraulic fracturing works is a fascinating blend of engineering, geology, and technology that has reshaped the global energy landscape. While it remains a controversial subject, it is undeniable that fracking will continue to play a critical role in meeting the world’s growing energy needs, provided it is done responsibly and with proper safeguards in place.

Natural Gas Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

Natural Gas prices have always been a pivotal element in the global energy market, serving as a cornerstone for economic stability and growth across numerous industries. Over the years, the dynamics of the natural gas market have evolved significantly due to a combination of geopolitical factors, supply-demand imbalances, technological advancements, and shifting energy policies. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for stakeholders aiming to navigate this ever-changing landscape effectively.

One of the primary drivers of natural gas prices is the balance between supply and demand. When demand outpaces supply, prices tend to rise, and conversely, an oversupply can lead to lower prices. Demand for natural gas is influenced by various factors, including weather conditions, economic growth, and the adoption of natural gas as a cleaner alternative to coal and oil. Seasonal changes, particularly during winter and summer, play a critical role, with colder winters driving higher heating demand and hotter summers increasing demand for natural gas-powered electricity for cooling purposes. On the supply side, production levels, storage capacities, and export-import balances are critical. For instance, the rise of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports has introduced a new layer of complexity to the market, linking regional prices more closely with global markets.

Geopolitical tensions are another significant factor influencing natural gas prices. Conflicts in key gas-producing regions or among transit route countries can lead to disruptions in supply, thereby driving up prices. Recent global events have underscored the vulnerabilities of energy markets to such disruptions. In addition, natural disasters or technical issues at production facilities can also cause temporary supply shortages, impacting prices.

Technological advancements in extraction and production methods have also reshaped the natural gas market. The advent of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling has unlocked vast reserves of shale gas, particularly in the United States, making it a leading producer and exporter. These innovations have helped stabilize global supply, contributing to periods of relatively low prices. However, the costs associated with these technologies and environmental concerns continue to influence production decisions and, consequently, pricing.

The transition towards renewable energy sources and the global push for decarbonization are reshaping the role of natural gas in the energy mix. While natural gas is considered a cleaner fossil fuel compared to coal and oil, its long-term role is under scrutiny as countries adopt stricter environmental regulations and policies aimed at achieving net-zero emissions. This shift could lead to fluctuations in natural gas demand, particularly as investments in renewable energy and energy storage technologies increase. Nevertheless, natural gas is still seen as a critical bridge fuel in the transition towards a low-carbon future, providing reliable baseload power while supporting intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

Regional disparities in natural gas pricing also add complexity to the market. Unlike crude oil, which has a more unified global pricing mechanism, natural gas prices are often dictated by regional market conditions. In the United States, prices are typically determined by the Henry Hub benchmark, while Europe and Asia rely on different indices, such as the TTF and JKM benchmarks. The rise of LNG has begun to erode some of these regional differences, but disparities remain due to variations in transportation costs, infrastructure, and market demand.

The role of government policies and regulations cannot be overlooked when examining natural gas prices. Subsidies, tariffs, and taxation policies can significantly affect the cost of production and distribution. Moreover, strategic reserves and storage policies play a vital role in mitigating price volatility. In some regions, governments actively intervene to stabilize prices and ensure energy security, which can have both short-term and long-term implications for market participants.

Natural gas storage levels serve as a critical indicator of market conditions. During periods of high demand, storage facilities can buffer against supply shortages, helping to stabilize prices. Conversely, low storage levels can exacerbate price spikes during demand surges. Storage dynamics are closely monitored by traders and policymakers alike, as they provide valuable insights into future pricing trends.

The global LNG trade has become a game-changer in the natural gas market, enabling countries to diversify their supply sources and reduce dependency on pipeline imports. LNG has also allowed for greater flexibility in meeting demand spikes, as it can be shipped to different markets based on prevailing prices. However, the LNG market is not without its challenges, including high transportation and regasification costs, as well as geopolitical risks associated with key maritime routes.

Investor sentiment and market speculation also influence natural gas prices. Traders and financial institutions often react to macroeconomic indicators, weather forecasts, and geopolitical developments, driving short-term price movements. The introduction of derivatives and other financial instruments tied to natural gas has added a speculative dimension to the market, which can amplify price volatility.

Environmental and social governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly shaping the strategies of companies involved in natural gas production and distribution. As investors and consumers demand greater transparency and sustainability, companies are under pressure to adopt cleaner practices and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This trend could lead to additional costs and operational changes, which may ultimately affect natural gas prices.

Looking ahead, the future of natural gas prices will depend on how well the industry adapts to the challenges and opportunities presented by the evolving energy landscape. Factors such as technological innovations, policy shifts, and market integration will play crucial roles in shaping the trajectory of prices. While uncertainties remain, one thing is clear: natural gas will continue to be a key player in the global energy market, even as the world transitions towards a more sustainable energy future. By closely monitoring these factors, stakeholders can make informed decisions and capitalize on emerging trends in this dynamic market.
