After a couple of hours we returned to our rooms, picked up our belongings and headed south.\"\n\nMedan, a city of 2.5 million, was spared the brunt of the quake and has now become a relief coordination centre for the rescue efforts in the hardest hit region, Aceh, to the Northwest, where at least 30,000 people are believed to have died. but many areas have not been reached yet.\n\nIndonesian television shows uncensored horrific and tragic footage from Bandah Aceh - corpses lying bloated in shopping centres, dazed and confused families staggering through flooded streets, victims impaled on power line poles, it is almost unwatchable.\n\nThe water temperature in Lake Toba has risen somewhat in the last days and local fishermen report far greater catches than before the quake.\n\n[more to follow]','Lake Toba, Sumatra 29 12 04','','publish','open','closed','','lake-toba-sumatra-29-12-04','','','2004-12-29 09:42:24','2004-12-29 09:42:24','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=29',0,'post','',0),(903,2,'2004-12-31 16:30:29','2004-12-31 16:30:29','Tom Vater reports from the heart of the Indonesian disaster.\n\n<b>30 12 04. Polonia Airport Medan, Sumatra.</b>\n\nMedan, Indonesia\'s third city is quiet, 4 days after the giant quake. Traffic is intense as always, further slowed by gangs of kides who line the streets with cardboard boxes collecting donations for Aceh, the worst hit area of the tsunami, just to the north of Medan. Otherwise there is little sign of the immense catastrophe that is steadily unfolding just a couple of hundred kilometres to the north.\n<!--more-->\nAt the airport, minor chaos rules. Regular passenger flights are delayed by six to eight hours, the terminal is crowded and the single runway is busy with incoming and leaving cargo planes from Australia, Singapore and Russia. From Medan, these planes are heading for the airport of Bandah Aceh.\n\nWe manange to buy a ticket for Penang, in hard cash across the counter and by nightfall we are over the Andaman Sea, on an almost empty passenger plane heading for Malaysia.\n\n<b>31 12 04 Penang Malaysia</b>\n\nPenang General Hospital. Penang counts 51 dead and 203 injured admissions. A further handful or two have been admitted to private hospitals. This morning I spoke to several families now housed in tents on the West coast, where the tsunami hit. Damage, compared to other countries in the region, is minimal. Still, several families lost their homes and belongings and the beach front is littered with wrecked fishing boats and flotsam.\n\nAt the hospital, a carpenter tells me about a wave 4 storeys high that pulled him out to sea and swept him around in a vortex for 5 hours, crushing his kidneys in the process. In the early evening (the tsunami hit around 1pm in Penang) he was thrown back onto the beach. The ocean did not want him.\n\nA 3 and half year old boy was swept from his mother\'s arms and later found on the beach, his lungs full of sand, but after four days in ICU it looks like the child will survive.\n\nAs Muslims bury their dead quickly, the mortuary at the hospital is already empty, further bodies are not expected to be found.

The only local Government that did not have a chance to react or evacuate was in Sumatra and Andaman Nicobar islands.\n\nBased on the analysis of the time sequence in which these Governments received information and failed or decided not to act is alarming. In Sri Lanka, India, Maldives and Thailand rumors in the main street are rampant that their respective Governments were told not to act by someone or some entity.\n\nIndian Military for example clearly got the information two hours before the Tsunami hit the India’s mainland. An Indian Air Force base was wiped out in Andaman Nicobar island near Sumatra close to the epicenter if the earthquake two hours before the Tsunami hit the mainland India. When Indian Military tried to inform the Government, the Government did nothing as if they did not hear.\n\nSame story is being repeated in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Maldives. How can all the countries decide to let Tsunami come and not evacuate a single human being?\n\nSome are concluding that the Governments knew of some experiments by some country, agency or entities. They were clearly told not to react because it was in a controlled environment. Or, they may have just asked to keep quiet.\n\nRecent  alien contacts have been reported with the South Asian Governments especially  India. UFO sightings have been rampant over the region affected. Some in  Nicobar Island say that it was an experiment conducted by the alien  extra-terrestrial entities to correct the wobbly rotation of the earth. And  some of the Indian scientists are actually seeing that wobbly rotation of the  earth has been corrected since the massive underwater earthquake and Tsunami.\n\nIn Indian capital of New Delhi, faxes were being sent to wrong fax numbers so  that nothing much is done even though the Government clearly knew about the  coming Tsunami. People have started asking the question – was this utter  failure or global conspiracy to accommodate some entity or interest or was  this for the good of the earth?\n\nIf this was an utter failure, how do you justify that all six Governments failed separately in their own domain one by one. \n\nAccording to some extraterrestrial UFO observers, the UFO sightings before the earthquake and Tsunami were very unusual in that part of the world. They claim the world’s Governments were told not to act for some reason.\n\nThe most amazing thing is that United States Geological Survey and Ocean Monitoring agencies came to know about the Tsunami and earthquake but decided not to do anything. Well it seems the whole world decided to fail to do anything together at the same time. Are we missing something? \n\nCan it be that all the Government Agencies knew what was happening but were told not to do anything? Who told them? Or is this just a tragic coincidence?\n\nIn Thailand some in the Government said, they decided not to act because that will just scare people. Really?

At Phuket Airport it\'s business as usual. The touts are out in force, displaying their usual cut throat charm and it takes me some time to get a taxi to take me to Kuraburi, 200 km to the North. Eventually I ride in a brand new Toyota with two guys in the front across Phuket.\n\nNo signs of the Tsunami but we never hit the beaches. Several signs tell us the road through Kao Lak is closed. Lots of people died in Khao Lak, many of them foreigners in flash resorts. Khao Lak is a series of wide bays, very open to the sea with barely an incline. Just before the resort town, we are stopped by the cops for the first time.\n<!--more-->\n5 uniformed men shine torches into the car, hands on their holsters. They don\'t just look aggressive. They don\'t want to let us pass. The drivers want to turn, they are shit scared. Afetr a while of silent negotaitions between the two parties, I shout out the window, \'Pom Pen Farang\'. I am a foreigner.\n\nThe cops jerk back and the torches wash over me and my bag. We pass. Khao Lak looks like Brooklyn in Escape from New York. Sorry about the cheap analogy, but at night all you see are rows of ruined buildings and small groups of police sitting round burning oil drums.\n\nThe wave washed right across the main road in some places. Trashed upturned cars still littler the road side. We pass a refugee collection centre and I see a few wild eyed young farang. Later we pass a collection centre for the locals.

They are lingering in a big hall, surrounded by stacks of donations. Most of these are clothes, something the Moken have limited use for. Thier boats are gone, their houses are gone. They need tools to rebuild and boats to be mobile. A Moken who has no boat is barley a Moken.\n\nThe Wat is on the main road. The Moken kids are playing right by the road. Most of them don\'t know cars.\n\nThe Moken have to leave the mainland. Every day here, despite the generosity of the temple, means more contamination with modern Thailand. More pressure to remain on the mainland and learn the Thai language properly. But the Moken are so laid back that they are easily influenced. One NGO has approached them offering a lot of money, if the community remain on the mainland. Should they choose to return to their islands, there\'ll be no money. It\'s like this. Ais is a business, even during tsunamis.\n\nSarang, a boat driver who saved 12 tourists from the wave, tells me, \'Most of us want to go back. It only takes us three days to build a house on the beach in Surin. At least there we can live as we like.\'\n\n<b>04 01 05\n Ko Surin National Park</b>\n\nI visited Surin marine park in 1999, met the Moken and recorded their songs which were later released on a Topic Rec CD in the UK. The park then was one of the most idyllic, remote and unspoilt places I had come across in Thailand. Great coral, beautiful evergreen forest, little garbage, few tourists, modest facilities, hard to reach.\n\nFrom a distance, the islands haven\'t changed a bit. The tsunami washed right across them but barely a tree seems to have snapped. The forest looks fine. Later I find out  most of the coral is ok too. But all manmade infrastructure is gone.\n\nThe park headquarters looks like a battlefield. The buildings have mostly collapsed. All that remains of the restaurant is the foundations. Burmese fishermen have been hired in to demolish what\'s left and burn the lot.\n\nOn the Moken beach there is no longer anything resembling a village. Every single hut and boat has been taken by the storm. A lone dog leads us into the hills where we find a missing Moken, the only Moken casualty of the wave.\n\nThe Moken knew. When the water went out and the birds went mad, they collected as many tourists as they could and led them into the jungle. Funny how a paradise beach of which most of us can only dream, can appear as a total nightmare. The Moken culture in Thailand is gone, what\'s left are its people, shell shocked, homeless and destitute.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.cusri.chula.ac.th/andaman/en\" target =\"new\">Donate to the Moken</a>','From Tom Vater: Phuket and the Moken','','publish','open','closed','','from-tom-vater-phuket-and-the-moken','','','2005-01-08 15:27:21','2005-01-08 15:27:21','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=35',0,'post','',0),(36,2,'2005-01-10 02:23:52','2005-01-10 02:23:52','From Tom Vater in Thailand:\n\n<img alt=\"024.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/024.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" />\n\nMany thanks to all people who contributed to the Moken fund to help the sea gypsies of Thailand help themselves and remain dignified human beings with their own distinct culture and character in the wake of the tsumani that devasted their villages and destroyed their boats. Should you have any more money in your pockets, here is the link of the <a href=\"http://www.cusri.chula.ac.th/andaman/en\" target =\"new\">UNESCO Andaman Pilot Project</a>.\n\nMost Moken have returned to their island, Ko Surin. After lingering in the camp for a few more days following our visit last week, the wife of the Thai Deputy Prime Minister Chaturon dropped in on the sea gypsies.\n<!--more-->\nDunung told the lady that the Moken were going out of their minds and needed to go back to Surin.\nWell, the Moken found the right person to talk to - they were put on several boats and sent back to Surin.\n\nWhat\'s more, the supreme head of Buddhism in Thailand (the Sangkarat), has stated that the Moken should be left alone and must be free to choose to go where they want. Endorsements don\'t come from higher sources in this part of the world and this did much to silence greedy NGOs and politicians concerned with nationalist agendas.\n\n130 of the community of 200 are now back on Surin, some others have traveled down to Takua Pa, a near-by provincial town and a few have chosen to go to Ko Rah, an island just in front of Kuraburi. These stragglers are too scared to go out to Surin right now, which is a long way from the mainland, but once they get some positive feedback from their relatives, they are likely to follow. The great news is that the refugee camp in the local temple at Kuraburi has been desolved.\n\nThe Moken are now in the process of clearing a new beach, but have not yet got any houses or boats. The Thai government and private donors like you have provided them with clothes and food for a few days. The National Park has allowed them to fell trees in the jungle for building materials.\n\nIt\'s great, it\'s a new start for this community.\n\n<img alt=\"045.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/045.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" />\n\nAroon is visiting them Thursday, to hand out a first batch of money - mainly for tools so that construction of a new village can begin. We have figured out that a long tail boat with engine costs 60.000 Baht, around 1500$US. Engines are easy to get but boats are hard to come by in the wake of the tsunami as most boat building businesses in the region were washed away. A local contact of the Moken is scouring the coast for new boats, but it likely to take time before the sea gypsies of the Andaman Sea become mobile again in any real sense.\n\nMany many thanks for your donations and, if you can, please give generously - the Moken symbolise and embody a spirit of freedom and independence unheard of in \'the real world\'.

Evans, who spent 10 years researching the book, has unearthed evidence to support Sirhan\'s contention that he was hypnotised into being the \"fall guy\" for the murder.

For more info on their Tsunami survival, please visit the links below.\n\n170 Moken have now returned to Ko Surin and are busy building a new village. From the generous donations you have provived we have so far purchased one boat and engine (see picture), for the bargain price of 45.000 Baht (ca. 950 Euro). The normal price is 60.000, but the man who sold us the boat lost most of his family to the Tsunami and is moving inland. Boat prices are currently horrendous – a boat mafia has sprung up along the coast charging fortunes for the few remaining vessels on the market. It will take some time to find enough boats for the Moken (providing we continue to receive <a href=\"http://www.cusri.chula.ac.th/andaman/en\" target=\"new\">donations</a>).\n<!--more-->\nWe have also bought basic tools  - hammers and nails. The Moken have had clothes donations and the park has permitted them to take wood from the forest for their huts.\n\n<img alt=\"IMG_4012-lo.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/IMG_4012-lo.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" />\n\n\nDr Narumon of the Andaman Pilot Project has been visiting the Moken in the last days with Aroon. The Moken are staying in tents in front of the park headquarters. Every morning the adults use some park boat to get across to their new village to build more houses. Yesterday 18 houses were almost completed. In another couple of weeks the village will be up and running. The Moken seem to have survived the refugee camp OK, though since returning from the mainland one child got sick and died. Local authorities have advided the Moken to build their houses where beach and jungle meet. Traditionally the Moken build their homes right into the surf, but the local government is worried about another wave.\n\nJust two days ago a group of Moken from Burma showed up on their kabang (housebats) to check up on their relatives. The Burmese Moken had hardly a problem from the wave but have recently been forced into slave labour by the Burmese Army (again). Anyway, the two kabang were very welcome on Surin.\n\nThe National Park will reopen for tourist business in a couple of weeks. The Moken will get their park jobs back (2 Euro a day plus food), which won\'t bring them any closer to owning their own boats. We hope that they will build a few kabang eventually, but  right now, for survival more Thai longtails are needed.\n\nMany thanks,\nTom\n\nImages by Aroon Thaewchatturat\n\n￼\nPlease <a href=\"http://www.cusri.chula.ac.th/andaman/en\" target=\"new\">donate</a>.￼\n￼\n￼\n￼','from Tom Vater: The Moken&#039;s Return','','publish','open','closed','','from-tom-vater-the-mokens-return','','','2005-01-21 11:55:31','2005-01-21 11:55:31','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=43',0,'post','',0),(44,2,'2005-01-27 00:30:59','2005-01-27 00:30:59','News from Southern Parts, via the marvel that is Mr Scott Wood.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.selfs.co.uk\" target=\"new\">SELFS</a> events are always interesting and come highly recommended, except perhaps the talk on the 14th March...\n<!--more-->\nForthcoming South East London Folklore Society stuff :\n\n<strong>\n14th February: Jason Oliver – Suspension and other Body Rituals</strong>\n\nJason will discuss body ritual with specific relation to suspension, both past and present, and its relation to the death posture as posited by Austin Osman Spare.

I think you’d be interesting in the Southwark Mysteries, if you don’t know about him already and this is how I’ve written the event up for the SE-London blog:\n\n\"John Constable is Southwark’s shamanic poet, singer of songs and teller of tales of the lost history and magic of London’s outlaw borough. If my memory serves me correctly, John was talking through Southwark as the Jubilee Line extension was being dug below him and as the excavation encountered the Cross Bones graveyard, a site for paupers, prostitutes and other outsiders. As a skeleton was unearthed, the Goose, the goddess of outsiders, aspect of Isis and genius loci of Southwark contacted John and began singing her songs through him and his colleges in the Southwark Mysteries.\n\nThe focus for John at present is to leave a shrine on the site of the Cross Bones for the individuals interred beneath. London transport and other greedy developers are attempting to build an office on the site so, at 7pm on the 23rd of each month, John and others go to the gates of the site on Redcross Way, (just north of junction with Union Street), London SE1, (Borough tube, or London Bridge - Borough High St exit), to commemorate those buried there.\n\nJohn says:\n\nto honour the souls of the outcast dead, the prostitutes and paupers buried there...\nto sing the songs of the Goose and Crow...\nto perform our own (syncretic not dogmatic) inclusive rituals...\nto bring our own offerings - ribbons, flowers, feathers and other totems...\nto tie them to the gate, adding our personal sigils to the self-transforming shrine that has appeared...\nto envision the memorial garden that is already taking root, despite the\nbest efforts of the would-be developers...\nto reclaim magic, mystery and true community in the heart of our city...\n\n(after which we all head off to a convenient watering hole to shoot the breeze, conspire with our higher selves and see how the spirits move us). The shrine has recently gained some extraordinary totems, including a piece of stone from the wall of Jerusalem, willow wreaths (for protection), a wand (once waved in through the door of 10 Downing Street during presentation of an SFC petition to reform the draconian laws that punish working girls and boys), and John Crow\'s 50 year old teddy-bear (with the >straw spilling from the seams) bound with ribbons of power…  at recent 23rd gatherings, magic has occurred... \"','SELFS news: London esoteric talks &amp; events','','publish','open','closed','','selfs-news-london-esoteric-talks-events','','','2005-01-27 00:30:59','2005-01-27 00:30:59','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=44',0,'post','',0),(45,2,'2005-01-27 00:42:39','2005-01-27 00:42:39','<img align =\"left\" hspace=\"6\" alt=\"JROD.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/JROD.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"250\" />\n(image from <a href=\"http://www.ufowatchdog.com/jrod.html\" target =\"new\">UFO Watchdog</a>).\nNews from the Japanese UFO community...\n\nIf anyone in the UK has this footage please do get in touch with us at Strange Attractor.\n\n------------------\nDear friends,\n\nA J-ROD autopsy film has been released by Japanese TV during the two-hour \"live\" special broadcast on December 31, 2004. The footage announced as a great exclusive awakened expectation and a controversy among the Japanese expert panel invited to analyze the cases presented during the new year\'s traditional UFO and Paranormal nationwide TV show.\n\nI just received a copy of the program and an alleged J-ROD autopsy film attracted my attention. As the show is in Japanese I\'m in the proccess of getting an English translation from a Japanese friend to have the information and details.\n<!--more-->\nAccording to the report the story tells of a UFO crash and retrieval near the Kingman, Arizona base in 1953 where the legendary and controversial J-ROD Alien was supposedly captured and kept in custody. The existence of an autopsy film was unknown for me so this piece of footage was a surprise and I don\'t know if anyone of you have heard or seen it.\n\nThe footage is in color and the quality is very good. The \"being\" is almost identical to that famous and debated photo and looks very real. The autopsy procedures performed by the two doctors are very similar to the ones in the Santilli\'s film but this one has some more realistic details like the moment when the doctor pulled out the alien\'s tongue.\n\nSome experts, including a Japanese special effects creator, were interviewed and it seems that they were impressed. Unfortunately all the information including the source was in Japanese so I just understood some things but I will try to have the english translation at once. A short piece of footage was also presented showing an alleged UFO being shot down by another UFO  but because of the language I could\'nt understand the connection with the J-ROD autopsy film case.\n\nAs I had a colaboration in this Japanese TV special I heard some comments by a production company representative in the sense that they had a new piece of revealling footage never released before to be presented as an exclusive on new year\'s eve special. As a rule I don\'t give too much credit to these promised \'ultimate evidence\' announcements because most of the time they result in the usual fiasco. But I must say that I didn\'t expect to see supposed J-ROD alien autopsy footage.\n\nThis is going to be a good one for discussion and debate. The film is good and looks like the real thing awakens many doubts in my opinion.

At InfoWarCOn 2003 (September time) I sat in a small, windowless room with about five others and listened to Glaen Shwaery of the University of New Hampshire\'s Non-Lethal Technology Innovation Center give a talk about the latest developments in non-lethals and problems they were encountering in developing and testing them.\n<!--more-->\nWith regards the microwave devices (or directed energy devices), as I remember (and my notes confirm) the problem was \"scaleability\". I seem to remember him saying \"there\'s a fine line between making someone\'s skin itch and cooking their brain\".\n\nThere\'s no mention of these concerns in this, otherwise <a href=\"http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/v-mads.htm\" target=\"new\">thorough, run-down</a>.\n\nThis mentions immediate discomfort to those in the beam but Shwaery outlined a different problem: that it takes a while to get the skin cells to the painful temperature of 130 degrees (my notes say 54, I\'m so centigrade it hurts) - and once you\'ve started cooking someone, you can\'t just shut down the process by switching off your device - the body keeps cooking, then overcompensates, making you freezing cold, before reheating again enormously. It is this process that kills people and this process that can\'t be controlled. I recall a graph with a couple of parabola, the second reaching higher than the first and breaking through the danger/death line.\n\nIn short, less than two years ago they couldn\'t make them work without killing people. At the same talk, there were murmurings about how hard it was to test these things without human subjects but the global security site says they have been using human test subjects in the US.\n\nNow while yer man Will Thomas isn\'t the most trustworthy source, seems to me that the opportunity for proper field-testing of ADS (ie, this one goes up to eleven) on human subjects would be welcomed, regardless of whether or not it\'s finetuned. Suppose the clever thing to do would be to look in Iraqi hospitals for people whose brains have been boiled.','More on microwaves','','publish','open','closed','','more-on-microwaves','','','2005-02-10 15:18:03','2005-02-10 15:18:03','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=56',0,'post','',0),(57,2,'2005-02-11 11:16:15','2005-02-11 11:16:15','<a href=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/k_flyer.gif\"><img alt=\"k_flyer.gif\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/k_flyer-thumb.gif\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"10\" width=\"50\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\" /></a>\n\n<b>MAR 5 2005</b>\nkosmische club\n9ish > very, very late\n<a href=\"http://www.bardensbar.co.uk/\" target=\"new\">Barden\'s Bourdoir</a>\n38-44 Stoke Newington Road, London N16 7XJ\n\n <b>[click image to enlarge flyer]</b>\n<!--more-->\n<p><b>Chrome Hoof </b><br />\ndeploying an arsenal of synths, trumpet, fiddle, percussion, town crier, guitar, bassoon, bass and drums\n\n<b>Prey </b>\nfeaturing Barry 7 (ex-Add N to (X), superstar DJ) a filthy, noisy machine running on a heady concoction of Krautrock, Medieval references, disco and punk\n\n<b>the projects </b>\nUK/Swedish/French 5-piece who conjur up super fantastic postpop krautrock disco with angular guitars and a human heartbeat\n\n<b>Asja auf Capri </b>\nGerman/American electronic duo: LP, Novi Ronde(Difficult Fun).  \"a deep pop sense of space and colour in the electronic backdrops, along with a seductive rhythmic awkwardness\" The Wire\n\n<b>Stella Maris Drone Orchestra</b>\nimprovising 8-piece ambientdoomkrautraga allstar freakout ensemble in the finest kosmische tradition\n\n<b>kosmische DJs </b>\nHans Free, Jim Backhaus, Mink Pelican, Tango Mango, Marcelo Madrid and special guest DJ Pete Woodhead (Sons of Silence, O Yuki Conjugate, Clock DVA) play an intoxicating mix of fast and furious krautrock, electronica and music from all our futures','electronic krautrock utopia','','publish','open','closed','','electronic-krautrock-utopia','','','2005-02-11 11:16:15','2005-02-11 11:16:15','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=57',0,'post','',0),(58,2,'2005-02-11 13:42:43','2005-02-11 13:42:43','via Erik Davis:\n\n<a href=\"http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/zogg/zogg1.html\" target=\"new\" >We Are Zogg</a>','Evil genius!','','publish','open','closed','','evil-genius','','','2005-02-11 13:42:43','2005-02-11 13:42:43','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=58',0,'post','',0),(59,2,'2005-02-14 20:46:46','2005-02-14 20:46:46','The fine folks over at Arthur magazine have put the entirety of the <a href=\"http://www.arthurmag.com/news/\" target=\"new\" >latest issue</a> online.\n\nThis is the perfect opportunity for anyone who has yet to feast on editor Jay Babcock\'s mighty organ to do so.

When he became a liability, Izo was imprisoned and sentenced to death by Crucifixion.  This story was played straight in a samurai flick in the 1960s called HITAKIRI (aka TENCHU, which roughly means \"punishment\") directed by samurai auteur Gosha Hideo and produced by original ZATOICHI star Katsu Shintaro, who also played Izo.  A young Yukio Mishima also played a doomed samurai, and it was rumoured that his estate has suppressed this film from being shown after his death in order to preserve Mishima\'s status as a god-like literary figure as opposed to a working actor on top of his career as a renowned author.  (I saw it on a bootleg DVD last year before I knew about Miike\'s film.)\n<!--more-->\nMiike\'s IZO could be said to be a completely whacked-out sequel to HITAKIRI, but that\'s just for starters.  It barely has a plot as it follows Izo after his execution, now resurrected as a spirit of nihilistic, murderous revenge moving through Time and Space killing Everything, especially all the symbols of spiritual and political authority.  That bare-bones premise lets Miike make this movie many other things as well.  It\'s a deconstruction and spoof of the Samurai and Japanese action movie genres.  It\'s a punk-anarchist attack on government and how it uses power, control and lies to keep the people down as the undead Izo makes his way toward the mythical version of the Japanese government headed by \"Beat\" Takeshi Kitano in an extended cameo.  It\'s a nonlinear cinema-essay on the male destructive urge, endless and unquenchable from a starting point of spiritual questioning.  It\'s a Buddhist treatise on Endless Suffering in a vision of Hell.  It\'s also like a videogame where the main character moves from one scenario to the next hacking and slashing his way through various adversaries like a First Person Slasher game, stopping for the odd interlude like encountering the Mother Goddess who gave birth to all living things and having wild sex with her.  It even obeys the universal rule that \"all movies would be improved if somewhere in the story, VAMPIRES ATTACKED!\" by having Izo attacked by two vampires masquerading as real estate agents in cheap polyester suits.\n\nThat\'s right, real estate agents.\n\nSince the story takes place outside Time and Space, all Time and Space can pop up in the story.  Thus, Izo can fight a squadron of Special Forces troops with body armour and machine guns in a medieval village on one hand, and be confronted with a cadre of medieval constables in modern-day Tokyo.  He\'ll encounter zombie soldiers from WWII in one sequence, then mythical samurai guardians of temples in another, then 21st Century Yukuza with baseball bats and handguns in the next, hacking and slashing his way through all of them because he\'s unstoppable.  He\'s unstoppable because he\'s Rage, he\'s Revenge, he\'s Irrationality, and he\'s the Contradiction to All Things.  And all the while, he\'s quietly stalked by a sad-eyed woman who may be the anima to his animus, who may be a part of his fractured soul, and who may or may not offer some kind of redemption or peace if he would take it...\n\nAs you might have guessed from the above, this is not a realistic movie at all.  Its blatant disregard for basic narrative logic or continuity, hopping from the past to the present and back again and then mixing up people and details from different periods and even different movie genres, combining low pulp with high philosphy suggests the kind of movies late-period Godard makes, except Miike is coming from a Buddhist perspective instead of a Marxist one.  Anyone who\'s ever sat through a Godard film made after 1967 would have no trouble understanding this film.\n\nIn many ways, this is a kind of career and thematic summation for Miike.  You get the feeling everything he knows about filmmaking is in this movie.  The blood and gore, the absurd sense of humour, the influences from theatre, from Kabuki to agit-prop Brechtian alienation techniques like stilted dialogue that states the themes outright, the travelling troubadour in the simple suit who sings increasingly angry working class ballads to accompany Izo\'s Path to Slaughter.\n\nA lot of people hate this movie, a lot more are baffled by it.

It has been delivered to the printers - all 432 pages of it - and should be back in mid-April.\n<!--more-->\nAlison Hutchinson and myself are very proud of this new edition: it\'s a monster alright, but we love it! Taking off where J1 ended, it leads us into some entirely new territory, while revisiting areas that may be familiar in surprising new ways.\n\nThe highlights are too numerous to mention, but it features work from both veteran authors and some who will be new to you. We travel from an18th century alchemical lab to the mountains of present day Nepal, via ancient Peru, Halifax and the remains of a ruined future London. En route we encounter charlatans and visonaries, poets, madmen, phantom assailants, fungal sentiences, voodoo priestesses, surrealists, fantasists and trickster deities. By the time you\'ve digested it all we\'ll hopefully be ready with another one.\n\nBecause of the increased girth and resulting postage increases, the price has had to go up to £14 inc p&p, but I hope that you\'ll find this reasonable.\n\nAs before, the first 200 copies sold will be in beautiful collectors\' editions, hand stamped and numbered by us. Unexpectedly I found an extra box of Journal One with collectors\' covers, about 20. Now\'s the last chance you\'ll get to order one, please email me separately about these so that I can keep track of numbers.\n\nThere will be a launch event sometime in late April, details to be announced nearer the time.','Strange Attractor Journal Two','','publish','open','closed','','strange-attractor-journal-two','','','2005-03-24 11:59:59','2005-03-24 11:59:59','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=76',0,'post','',0),(77,2,'2005-03-25 13:04:21','2005-03-25 13:04:21','A pair of bipedal octopi over at <a href=\"http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050321/full/050321-14.html\" target=\"new\">Nature</a> journal.

Their behaviour even extended to waving flaming crucifixes at us in the small hours of the night. Every night a variety of horns, whistles and sirens are blasted, in an effort to keep us awake. A car stereo has been used to play one song over and over again, at a high volume, and every night they bang an old steel oil-drum with sticks or a crowbar.\n\nLast night - the night of Friday-Saturday - it got even worse.

Amongst the arguments advanced by anglers for the cull were that \"in the Bible, cormorants are described as an abomination, so we have God on our side!\" and \"the cormorant does not respect fishing club boundaries\".\n<!--more-->\nThe cormorant, black, sleek and sharp-winged, has long been seen as sinister and free-spirited, and identified with the occult. Milton’s Satan, in Paradise Lost, is depicted as a cormorant when he perches upon the Tree of Life to contemplate Eden. Pagan author Llewelyn Powys was a keen votary of the bird, and in his Glory of Life (1938) memorably evoked a colony upon the Dorset shore: \"The damp white cliffs above the deserted sea-washed beaches are set with small images, images of satanic saints, each in its Parian niche...cormorants roosting, cormorants dozing in the twilight, cormorants dreaming of diving feats through dark waters in the wake of white flickering fish...\"\n\nUnder the announcement, sneaked out last week, at least 1,800 and up to 3,000 of the cormorants, normally protected by wildlife laws, can be shot each year: the total population is currently only 17,000. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds is strongly opposed to the move, and believes more humane deterrents against cormorants around inland fishing sites have not been properly tried.\n\nIf you’d like to defend one of Britain’s ancient totemic birds, write to Fisheries Minister Ben Bradshaw to object, and invoke Freedom of Information laws to demand to see why he over-ruled his own scientific advisers and ordered the mass shooting (nothing to do with anglers’ votes, presumably...).\n\nFootnotes\n\nThe RSPB concerns are summarised briefly <a href=\"http://www.rspb.org.uk/policy/wildbirdslaw/1in10shot.asp\" target=\"new\">here</a>\n\nContact Ben Bradshaw <a href=\"http://www.benbradshaw.co.uk/contact/contact.php\" target=\"new\">here</a>\n\nThe anglers’ arguments are set out here <a href=\"http://www.cormorantbusters.co.uk\" target=\"new\">here</a>, together with pictures of dead cormorants.','THOUSANDS OF &quot;SATANIC SAINTS&quot; TO BE SHOT','','publish','open','closed','','thousands-of-satanic-saints-to-be-shot','','','2005-04-17 22:36:31','2005-04-17 22:36:31','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=86',0,'post','',0),(87,2,'2005-04-19 11:07:32','2005-04-19 11:07:32','<a href=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/shwenabe3.jpg\"><img alt=\"shwenabe3.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/shwenabe3-thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"207\" height=\"400\" /></a>\n\nAmbientdoomkrautraga merchants Stella Maris Drone Orchestra take their sound on a gruelling two day tour of Dalston:\n\nThursday 28 April - Supporting <a href=\"http://people.bu.edu/nsmith/culdesac.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Cul de Sac</a> at <a href=\"http://www.bardensbar.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Bardens</a> (at 38-44 Stoke Newington Road, London N16 7XJ) <br />\nFriday 29 April - <a href=\"http://www.klinkerclub.info/\" target=\"_blank\">Klinker</a> with Andy Diagram<br /> (at the Sussex Pub, 107A Culford Rd, London N1)\n\nMore info at the band\'s <a href=\"http://www.stellamarisdroneorchestra.org\" target=\"new\">web site</a> where you can also download some sample tracks.','SMDO take Dalston','','publish','open','closed','','smdo-take-dalston','','','2005-04-19 11:07:32','2005-04-19 11:07:32','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=87',0,'post','',0),(88,2,'2005-04-19 13:07:04','2005-04-19 13:07:04','More from Dave Walsh in Lapland\n\n\"Spooky and bizarre movies from the Finnish night.

Picture / Chris Skelton\n\nTwenty years after French agents bombed the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, the ship\'s captain has returned to New Zealand to face the past. In his first interview since the bombing, he explains to Leah Haines why he will never forgive, nor forget.\n<!--more-->\nCaptain Pete Willcox clearly remembers the days after the July 1985 bombing that sank Greenpeace\'s Rainbow Warrior in Auckland and killed a member of his crew.\n\nThe young American sailor was finding it hard enough keeping his devastated team\'s spirits together, let alone dealing with his new-found fame as a character in an international spy scandal.\n\nSo when a tall, dark stranger sidled up to him at the Waiwera hot pools, where he had taken his crew for a break one day, he wasn\'t particularly keen to chat.\n\n\"I understand you\'re off the Warrior,\" the stranger boomed.\n\n\"Yup,\" Willcox replied, with a bowed head.\n\n\"Rough business.\"\n\n\"Yup,\" said Willcox, hoping the man would leave him alone.\n\nThe stranger was undeterred. Was Steve Sawyer, who had been celebrating his birthday on the Warrior the night it was bombed, with the crew at the pools?\n\n\"No!\" snapped the captain, finally looking up to glare at the big man standing in the tuck shop queue next to him. \"I\'m sorry to bother you,\" the man smiled. \"I just thought maybe I could save him a trip to Wellington. My name is David Lange. He\'s supposed to meet me tomorrow.\"\n\nIt\'s a reflection of those days that in the middle of an international spy scandal, New Zealand\'s prime minister would hop in his car, not a bodyguard in sight, and drive to the hot pools to find some bedraggled sailors.\n\nIt will be 20 years in July since French agents literally blew away our nation\'s innocence. Lange is now gravely ill and refuses to talk again about the bombing.\n\nBut Captain Willcox has returned to face the past, sailing into Auckland harbour last week at the helm of the new Rainbow Warrior, on a new environmental mission and demanding a long-awaited apology.\n\nOn July 10, the anniversary of the bombing, he will take the new Rainbow Warrior to Matauri Bay and visit his old boat for the first time, diving to the bottom of the sea where it was scuttled.\n\nSitting in his cabin abord the current Rainbow Warrior, Willcox looks out at Princess Marina through the same portholes he peered from 20 years ago when he was woken just before midnight as the first of the bombs went off.\n\nThe portholes, along with the ship\'s bell and its name, were among the few things he managed to salvage from the old boat before it was scuttled.\n\nWillcox insists he holds no animosity for the French people, perhaps not even Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, the agents who were convicted over the affair.\n\nThey were mere soldiers, dumb enough to follow orders, he says. But after 20 years, it is time their Government said sorry.\n\n\"It certainly put a wrench in my life, not that I didn\'t survive [the bombing] quite well. But I had lived on the boat for four years, and was really looking forward to another three or four years of campaigning on the Rainbow Warrior in the Pacific, so I would have appreciated an apology. And yes, I think it\'s time.\"\n\nIt was the sudden silence of his ship, rather than the noise of the first bomb exploding, that alerted Willcox to the fact that something was wrong that dark night.\n\nGrabbing a towel, he dashed out into the hall to find the engine room filling with water. The chief engineer was standing at the stairs saying: \"Well she\'s finished, it\'s all over, she\'s done.\"\n\nThe crew were ordered out on to the wharf while he and a few others tried to get into the bottom of the boat to check everyone had got out safely.\n\nThen the second bomb went off. Willcox left the ship as the water was finally creeping over the top of the door wells.\n\nHe refused to believe it when some of the crew said that photographer Fernando Pereira could still be down there. \"I remember looking at the cold, black salt water and thinking \'I can\'t go down there\',\" he recalls.\n\nBy 3am he had formally identified Pereira\'s body.\n\nIt didn\'t take long for police to make the French connection.\n\nThe spies had run an almost arrogantly sloppy operation, leaving a trail leading straight back to France all over Auckland.\n\nThe diver who had planted the two bombs was seen by locals driving his  Zodiac inflatable up to the shore and hopping in to a campervan rented by Prieur and Mafart, and had left French-bought oxygen tanks on the harbour floor.\n\nMafart and Prieur were pretending to be a married Swiss couple, but their ruse was instantly obvious when officers swooped on them two days later, police say.\n\nMafart was suave, straight-backed, professional, and handsome, with a deep scar that ran through his nose and a silk cravat around his throat. Prieur, on the other hand, was plain, jittery and dumpy.\n\nEventually France conceded the couple were Government agents; defence minister Charles Hernu and the head of the secret service Pierre Lacoste were sacked, and Prieur and Mafart were sentenced to 10 years in prison for manslaughter.\n\nBut they didn\'t stay there for long. After 18 months they were shifted to Hao Atoll in a United Nations-brokered deal to stop French trade sanctions intended to bully New Zealand into giving the pair up.\n\nThe couple were to stay on the island for three years, but France allowed them to leave within a year and a half. Prieur was pregnant and Mafart had a stomach complaint.\n\nA New Zealand doctor who went to Paris to examine the pair found them in perfect health, but had his hotel room ransacked, and a threatening switchblade left on a shelf.\n\nMeanwhile, up to 13 other French agents believed to be in New Zealand as part of the operation had slipped out of the country.\n\nPolice eventually identified several of them, issuing warrants for their arrest. But it was not until 1991 that one of them showed up on the international radar, when Gerald Andries attempted to travel to Switzerland.\n\nIn many respects, Andries was even more of a catch than Prieur and Mafart. Then-detective inspector Maurice Whitham says Andries was the person found to have bought the Zodiac inflatable and outboard motor used on the night of the bombing. \"He was right in the thick of it,\" says Whitham.\n\nBut French threats again began to mount, and the National Government of the time buckled.\n\n\"The French president had just been out to sign a friendship treaty with New Zealand. Prime Minister Jim Bolger had wanted to put the whole thing behind them, not knowing that we still had three warrants out for their arrest,\" says Whitham.\n\nThe Government gave the police two weeks to prepare an extradition order - a seemingly impossible task which Whitham says was deliberate.\n\nOfficers worked around the clock and got the papers together, only to have the Government order them to drop the order against Andries, and throw out all the remaining warrants. So, did he make a fuss?\n\n\"We were not in a position to,\" he says. \"It was the same as in 1986. We did our job. But yes, from our point of view it was disappointing.\"\n\nMafart and Prieur have since left the military and written books about the affair. Mafart wrote in 1999 of their devastation to learn someone was killed in the bombing - an unintended consequence, he said.\n\nBut Willcox finds that hard to stomach. \"The power of the explosives they used blew a six-by-seven-foot hole, like you\'ve punched your hand through a paper bag, and caused the boat to sink in 30 seconds.\n\n\"Shrapnel came up through my floor and the floor of another room right across the way. We were lucky more people weren\'t killed. No, they didn\'t care if they killed everybody.\"\n\nAbout six weeks after the bombing, Willcox left New Zealand on the Greenpeace yacht Vega.\n\n\"I didn\'t want to stay here and see the boat I had spent four years putting together scrapped. I felt it was important not to be stopped by the French. So that\'s what we did.\n\n\"I sailed off to Moruroa where we were arrested for breaking the 12-mile limit and was held on board a warship for about five days, then deported and banned for life.\n\n\"So I can\'t go back to French Polynesia now,\" he smiles.\n\n\"Which is funny, considering everything that happened in the whole scheme of things.\"\n\n- HERALD ON SUNDAY','20 years on, the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior','','publish','open','closed','','20-years-on-the-sinking-of-the-rainbow-warrior','','','2005-05-31 12:22:53','2005-05-31 12:22:53','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=103',0,'post','',0),(104,2,'2005-06-03 09:59:30','2005-06-03 09:59:30','Via Scott Wood of <a href=\"http://www.selfs.org.uk\" target=\"new\">SELFS</a>\n\nWe have put on a program of talks on Magic, Mystery and Hidden History for the Brockley Max Festival.

It was thought that the new law would commence before Glastonbury Festival 2005 (24th-26th June) which last year witnessed the arrival of open sales of fresh magic mushrooms. It now appears that although an announcement of the commencement date can be expected in the week before the festival, the actual date for the change will be a week or two after this (but before the parliamentary recess) meaning that this years festival will again have legal sales on the site.\n\nThere are various possible reasons for this delay:\n\nThe drafting of the statutory instruments (the detail of how the law will be enforced including how to deal with land owners on whose land magic mushrooms grow) has been quite challenging and is only now being finalised.\n\nIt has been suggested that there was no appetite in the home office for harshly enforcing a ban at the festival when the law was only a few days old.\n\nThere is an injunction being sought by lawyers for the entheogen defence fund to allow time for a full judicial review of the decision.

These accounts cut through the myths, misconceptions and propaganda that have built up around ‘The Battle of the Beanfield’ to present a detailed picture of what actually did happen.\n\nAlso included are many previously unseen photos, a description of the making of the documentary ‘Operation Solstice’, and chapters which set the events of the Beanfield in context. These look at the evolution of the free festival scene, new travellers, convoys and peace protestors, ‘raves’ and road protests, the campaigns for access to Stonehenge, and the wider implications of the events of the Beanfield, through increasingly draconian legislation, on civil liberties in the UK.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.andyworthington.co.uk\" target=\"new\" >Further info on the book</a>\n\nThe Devereux pub: off the Strand, opposite the Royal Courts of Justice, down an alleyway next to the George pub.','The Battle of the Beanfield: Book launch','','publish','open','closed','','the-battle-of-the-beanfield-book-launch','','','2005-06-29 09:03:26','2005-06-29 09:03:26','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=110',0,'post','',0),(111,2,'2005-06-29 18:45:48','2005-06-29 18:45:48','Kosmische Club\'s 9th Birthday Party!!\nLIVE:\nCircle (Finland)\nJean-Herve Peron (Faust)\nDelia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom (DFA synth genies)\nAmal Gamal Ensemble (Shock-Headed Peters/Cyclobe/Guapo/Alabama 3)\nNow\n\n<a href=\"http://www.iotacism.com/kosmische/kosmische/index.shtml\" target=\"new\">[more details]</a>\n\nKosmische club djs, Barry 7 chamber, whacked-out films, liquid lighting by Lightning Rod from Bubble Vision, strangeness and surprises\n\nFrom 9pm > 6am at a top secret central London location!\n\n* £12 tickets ONLY available in advance from <a href=\"http://www.wegottickets.com/event/6008\" target=\"new\">here</a>','Kosmische Club&#039;s 9th Birthday Party!!','','publish','open','closed','','kosmische-clubs-9th-birthday-party','','','2005-06-29 18:45:48','2005-06-29 18:45:48','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=111',0,'post','',0),(112,2,'2005-06-29 18:48:13','2005-06-29 18:48:13','<img alt=\"carousel.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/carousel.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" />\n\nOUR SOUTHERN GIG HAS BEEN CANCELLED - SORRY ABOUT THAT!\n\n<b>North</b>: 8th July, 8pm.

This journey was precipitated by a long-standing interest in the tragic Donner Party story. With over 3000 photos and 6 hours of film, we traced the trail from North Platte, Nebraska across Wyoming, Utah, The Great Salt Desert, then over Nevada, finally exploring the California and Oregon destinations of the hopeful emigrants.\n<!--more-->\nAlong the way we visited the landmarks that guided the 19th century travellers such as: The Platte River, Chimney Rock, Independence Rock, Signature Cliff, Pilots Peak, Skull Valley and Donner Lake. We stood in wagon ruts carved through the rock of the trail as we tried to imagine the unimaginable journey into an unknown vastness. What we discovered was a historical parable of the legacy of American expansionist ideals expressed as the doctrine of Manifest Destiny. This parable being that of the unfortunate Donner Party and how they faced the ultimate consequences of their drive westward to claim the riches of the new world. The words of John O’Sullivan, who coined the phrase Manifest Destiny in 1839 show their truth daily on the pages of any current newspaper.\n\n\".... and that claim is by the right of our manifest destiny to overspread and to possess the whole of the continent which providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federative development of self government entrusted to us. It is a right such as that of the tree to the space of air and the earth suitable for the full expansion of its principle and destiny of growth.\"\n\nThe first phase of Destiny Manifest is a pair of films featuring hundreds of photos taken on the journey by Cathy Ward, recitation of historical text and text written by Ward.

This means that possessing magic mushrooms will be punishable with up to 7 years in prison, and supplying them punishable with an unlimited fine and up to life in prison. The change follows the rushed enactment of the Drugs Bill in the ‘wash up’ week before the General Election. The Mushroom Clause in the Bill, Clause 21, comes into force at 00.00 AM on the morning of Monday 18th.\n\nTransform spokesperson Steve Rolles said:\n<!--more-->\n“This is an ill thought out piece of drug war legislation tacked onto the end of the Drugs Bill at the last minute. It seems to be the result of Government embarrassment at the emergence of mushroom shops, particularly in areas such as Camden. There has been no meaningful consultation on this move which is not supported by any of the leading drug organisations. It is clearly an attempt to appear ‘tough on drugs’ rather than being the result of rational evidence based thinking.\n\n“The outcomes of this change will be all bad. A criminal market will be created where none currently exists. Profits will move from legitimate traders and the inland revenue to illegal dealers and organised crime networks. Thousands of otherwise law abiding citizens, mostly young people, will now face imprisonment for their choice of recreation.\n\n“Many young people who used mushrooms as an alternative to more toxic, risky and illegal recreational drugs such as ecstasy, will now face increased harm. The use of more dangerous - but still legal - drugs such as fly-agaric mushrooms, peyote cactus and salvia divinorum is also likely to increase. The Government has not even tried to argue that fresh magic mushrooms are particularly dangerous. The Government’s own ‘Talk to Frank’ website says they are ‘not addictive in any way’ and that the biggest danger is accidentally picking the wrong mushrooms, which might be poisonous . It seems particularly bizarre in this context that they are being made a class A drug, putting them on a par with the conspicuously more dangerous heroin and crack.\n\n“The Government has only said that mushrooms present a risk to people with heart disease or mental health problems, something that is evidently true for any active drug, and surely not a reason for blanket criminalisation of the vast majority of users who don’t come within these categories.\n\n“the Government were legitimately concerned about unlicensed mushroom vendors but should have set up a simple licensing system to regulate the market, putting in place appropriate controls on vendors, age of purchase, advertising, information on packaging, and so on. Instead they have gone for the default position of harsh prohibition, effectively handing control to criminals.\n\n“The recently leaked drug report by Tony Blair’s own Strategy Unit has shown very clearly how prohibition cannot prevent the supply of drugs into the UK, and only succeeds in creating crime. Yet the Government apparently remains addicted to drug war rhetoric, the mushroom legislation being just the most recent example of the harm this addiction can cause.','Monday: End of an era','','publish','open','closed','','monday-end-of-an-era','','','2005-07-15 18:18:35','2005-07-15 18:18:35','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=118',0,'post','',0),(119,2,'2005-07-18 15:21:06','2005-07-18 15:21:06','Strange Attractor Journal\'s Alison Hutchinson and Mark Pilkington will have a stall at:\n\nPUBLISH AND BE DAMNED: ONE-DAY SELF-PUBLISHING FAIR\n\nSUNDAY 31 JULY 2005, 2-7pm\nThe Crypt, St James Church Clerkenwell, Clerkenwell Close, London EC1R 0EA\n\nThe second Publish and be Damned one-day self-publishing fair will take place on Sunday 31 July 2005 at The Crypt, St James Church Clerkenwell, from 2-7pm.  \n\nPublish and Be Damned profiles individual and experimental approaches to making and distributing the work of artists, writers and musicians outside of the commercial mainstream, encompassing DIY fanzines, magazines, critical journals, glossy periodicals, video compendiums and independent record labels.

She denied assertions that her house was\nprotected by juju.\n\nMussa was quickly evacuated and driven away to safety at the police station, where he later confessed he crash-landed at Kachere because his \"computers went dead\" as he was over-flying a house which\nwas \"magically protected\".\n\nMussa, who was dressed only in his underwear when the accident happened, said he had gone to Chamba Village in neighbouring Mozambique to collect his `aircraft\' which he had purchased at K450\nfrom a longtime friend of his, whose name he gave as Umali. The friend once lived in Machinga as refugee during the Mozambican civil war which spanned 15 years from 1975.\n\nMussa, who was later given a pair of trousers by police to hide his nakedness, looked calm and composed as he narrated his ordeal. He said he decided to try juju to gain wealth after trying in vain for years to make ends meet through vegetable growing.\n\nMarried with four children, all girls, the `novice pilot\' said he cycled to Mozambique where Umali invited him to go and collect his `plane\' and test fly it home and back.\n\n\"I left my bicycle and clothes at Umali\'s house and hope to go back to collect them if given a chance,\" he said.\n\nAsked if he intended to fly back to Mozambique, Mussa said that would be a nonstarter since the `aeroplane\' was now rendered useless since \"the computers (zithumwa or small pillows) that propel it were snatched away from him by an unknown man\" as police whisked him away from the crash site.\n\nLimbe Police spokesperson Chifundo Kansunje said Mussa has no case to answer unless the owner of the house he landed on launched an official complaint.\n\n\"If the house owner complains, maybe we can press a charge of criminal trespass on him, otherwise witchcraft is not recognised as an offence in our statutes,\" Kansunje said.\n\nMussa said he felt remorseful that he had been involved in voodoo and vowed never to practise witchcraft any more.\n\n\"I am ashamed of myself and I know I have brought shame to my family,but I can assure you I will never ever do it again,\" he said.','Malawi Flying Saucer Crash!','','publish','open','closed','','malawi-flying-saucer-crash','','','2005-07-29 14:11:46','2005-07-29 14:11:46','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=124',0,'post','',0),(125,2,'2005-07-29 16:18:59','2005-07-29 16:18:59','Monday 1 August,     8.30-10pm\n\nLet the living spirit of Raagnagrok re-fragrance your soul as they play a live session on Jim Backhaus and Magz Hall\'s You are Hear, on Resonance Radio.\n\nTune in on 104.4fm or via <a href=\"http://www.resonancefm.com\" target=\"\"\"new\">aetherstream</a>.

And, says Laura Spinney, their self-medication could teach us a thing or two\n\nPublished: 03 August 2005\nChausiku, an adult female chimpanzee, wasn\'t well. She moved painfully slowly, lagging behind the rest of her group, and later lay listlessly on her bed of branches. Her appetite seemed to have vanished, except when it came to one particular plant: Vernonia amygdalina, or bitter leaf. Plucking the youngest stems, she removed the leaves and bark before chewing on bite-size portions of the inner pith. By the next afternoon she was up and running, apparently having made a complete recovery.\n\nThe primatologist on Chausiku\'s tail, Mike Huffman, was puzzled by her behaviour - which he subsequently saw repeated by other ailing chimps in the Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania. When his research assistant, Mohemadi Seifu Kalunde, mentioned that bitter leaf was used by local Tongwe people to treat malarial fever, stomach cramps and intestinal parasites, his puzzlement turned to excitement. Was Chausiku dosing herself for some intestinal malaise? The local people, he discovered, used the leaves, bark and roots of the plant, whereas Chausiku used the pith. Did she know something the Tongwe didn\'t?\n\nHuffman made his observations of the sick Chausiku in 1987, triggering a new wave of research into the medicinal properties of bitter leaf - a plant that was already well-known to chemists. \"This plant has been intensively studied for more than half a century,\" says Huffman, who is based at the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University, Japan. \"But when we looked at the plant part that the chimps were using we discovered 13 new chemical compounds.\" Many of those new compounds turned out to have therapeutic effects, and that work created a flurry of excitement and helped to establish the new field of animal self-medication.\n\nMore at <a href=\"http://news.independent.co.uk/world/science_technology/article303357.ece\" target=\"new\" >The Independent</a>','Monkey Medicine','','publish','open','closed','','monkey-medicine','','','2005-08-04 10:02:46','2005-08-04 10:02:46','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=127',0,'post','',0),(128,2,'2005-08-04 10:18:32','2005-08-04 10:18:32','A deadly belief is reborn: Beyond life, beyond death\n\nWhen Shradha Shri decided to starve herself to death hundreds came to watch. Fasting to achieve nirvana is one of Jainism\'s holiest rites and is making a revival, reports Justin Huggler from Vidisha\n\nPublished: 04 August 2005\n\nIn an upstairs room of a nondescript building down a narrow, winding lane, a woman died yesterday. For the past seven weeks she had been starving herself to death, and hundreds of visitors came to watch her slowly die. But it wasn\'t just morbid curiosity. Those who were allowed into the room knelt before the woman in reverence and touched their heads to the floor.\n\nShradha Shri was performing sallekhana, one of the holiest rites of the Jain religion: fasting to death. Jains, who, like Hindus, believe in reincarnation, believe that sallekhana can free a soul from the endless cycle of rebirth and death.\n\nWhen The Independent visited Shradha Shri a few days before her death, she looked far older than her 60 years. Her cheeks were sunken, her teeth all missing. She was so weak she could not sit up without help, and lay motionless on a thin cloth spread on the floor while people crowded round her.\n\nIt was easy to find her. Everyone in Vidisha, a typical dusty Indian town with cows and goats wandering the streets, knew where the Jain woman was starving herself to death.\n\nContinued at <a href=\"http://news.independent.co.uk/world/asia/article303493.ece\" target=\"new\" >The Independent</a>','Sallekhana: beyond life and death','','publish','open','closed','','sallekhana-beyond-life-and-death','','','2005-08-04 10:18:32','2005-08-04 10:18:32','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=128',0,'post','',0),(129,2,'2005-08-09 12:01:01','2005-08-09 12:01:01','Dragons in the Tibet Sky\n<img alt=\"2005-8-7-dragon2.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/2005-8-7-dragon2.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" />\n\nPhoto from <a href=\"http://www.dajiyuan.com\" target=\"new\">dajiyuan.com</a>\n\nA photo of two peculiar dragon-shaped objects taken from a plane flying over Tibet’s Himalayas piqued many users’ interest when displayed on a Chinese website. The photographer is an amateur.\n\nOn June 22, 2004, the photographer went to Tibet’s Amdo region to attend the Qinghai-to-Xizang Railroad laying ceremony, and then took a plane from Lhasa to fly back inland. When flying over the Himalaya’s, he accidentally caught these two \"dragons\" in a picture that he took. He called these two objects \"the Tibet dragons.\"\n\nLooking at the photo, these two objects appear to have the characteristics of crawling creatures: The bodies seem to be covered by scales, the backs have spine-like protuberances, and also they have gradually thinning rear ends. Although the photo caught only a portion of the entire scene, it was sufficient create the appearance of two gigantic dragons flying in the clouds.\n\nThis photo, shown on some websites such as post.baidu.com and other forums, aroused the website visitors’ curiosity.

And, despite its record in Vietnam and Iraq, you can still do it in the United States. But try meditating for a more enlightened Britain and you could find yourself accused of feeding \"the destroyer of the world.\"\n\nNearly 40 years after he first turned the Beatles on to transcendental meditation at his Indian ashram - sparking an upsurge of interest in his philosophy across the world - the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has ordered his followers to stop teaching his advanced meditation and levitation techniques in Britain.\n\nDisgusted at Tony Blair\'s support for the US in the Iraq war and the British electorate\'s failure to unseat the prime minister at the general election, the 95-year-old guru says there is no point continuing to waste the \"beautiful nectar\" of TM on a \"scorpion\" nation.\n\n\"The good effects of transcendental meditation - increased creativity and long life - should not be given to a dangerous country that is constantly busy destroying the world,\" said the maharishi, speaking at one his regular press conferences in the Netherlands. \"TM is a gift from me to those who want to create peace and harmony in the world.\"\n\nAlthough the maharishi\'s comments came before the July terror attacks on London, his declaration has divided followers in Britain and abroad concerned about his increasingly eccentric political views. In recent years, the maharishi, who broadcasts on a private satellite channel from a converted monastery in Vlodrop, in Holland, has proffered opinions on everything from crime to the Israel-Palestine conflict to how countries can best foster military defence.\n\nMore over at <a href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1549244,00.html\" target=\"new\">The Guardian</a>','Maharishi pulls out of &quot;scorpion&quot; Britain','','publish','open','closed','','maharishi-pulls-out-of-scorpion-britain','','','2005-08-15 10:51:05','2005-08-15 10:51:05','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=131',0,'post','',0),(132,2,'2005-08-15 10:59:44','2005-08-15 10:59:44','A long feature on Robert Anton Wilson from the Santa Cruz <a href=\"http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cruz/08.10.05/wilson-0532.html\" target=\"new\">Metroactive</a>\n\nPremature Illumination\n\nRobert Anton Wilson, the iconoclastic genius behind the famed \'Illuminatus! Trilogy,\' has a few thousand things he\'d like to teach you\n\nBy Bill Forman\n\nDecades before the crossover cult film What the Bleep Do We Know!? popularized the idea that the principles of quantum mechanics could be applied to the world at large, Robert Anton Wilson had laid out much the same theory in his book, Prometheus Rising. Venture further into Wilson\'s oeuvre and you\'ll find equally prescient material on longevity research; you\'ll likely even stumble across source materials that inspired Dan Brown to write The DaVinci Code.\n\n\"I think I\'m the most ripped-off artist of our time,\" says Wilson, seated in the living room of a modest Capitola apartment adorned with an array of pookahs, Buddhas and at least one Loch Ness monster. \"People keep coming out with books 30 years after--books on things I wrote about--and they all become bestsellers.\n\n\"I wrote about them too early,\" says Wilson, raising a thin arm and shaking his finger to emphasize his point: \"Don\'t be premature.\"\n\nLance Bauscher agrees. \"This whole DaVinci Code thing with Dan Brown, I mean, that\'s all Bob\'s material,\" says Bauscher, who directed a film about Wilson called Maybe Logic and also runs an academy through which Wilson\'s online course, \"Tale of the Tribe,\" begins on Aug. 14. \"Dan Brown has read all of Bob\'s books. But Bob doesn\'t really compromise his storytelling--not that Dan Brown does--but it\'s for a general audience, and Bob just doesn\'t go there.\"\n\nMaybe that\'s because Wilson can\'t helping throwing his audiences so many curve balls, mixing esoteric facts with wild flights of imagination--and rarely revealing which is which. From self-destructing mynah birds to world domination enterprises determined to grant immortality to Adolf Hitler, the irascible Wilson\'s Illuminatus! Trilogy (written in the \'70s with co-author Robert Shea) is a fun-house ride through every conspiracy theory under the sun--as well as a few that appear to have been hatched in some far distant solar system.\n\nAt age 73, Wilson\'s body and voice have both been weakened by post-polio syndrome, but his brain and his humor are as sharp as ever.\n<!--more-->\n\"His humor is constant and people are never sure if he\'s being serious,\" says Bauscher of Wilson\'s intellectual gymnastics. \"I mean, the Illuminati: is it a joke or serious? And Discordianism: is it a joke disguised as a religion, or a religion disguised as a joke?\"\n\nAll of which helps explain why Wilson\'s name doesn\'t frequent bestseller lists, nor is he routinely credited for the insights that are beginning to capture the public imagination decades later.\n\nIn fact, one day this past spring, after Santa Cruz moviegoers had lined up to see What the Bleep Do We Know!? in sufficient numbers to justify its three-month run, Robert Anton Wilson was lying alone, conscious but unable to move, on the floor of this one-bedroom Capitola apartment for 30 hours.\n\n\"It really didn\'t seem that long,\" says Wilson of his collapse, which ended when his daughter arrived and broke down the door. \"And I remember thinking, as I\'m lying there trying to move and unable to move: Hey, I may be dying now. And it didn\'t frighten me or bother me at all.\"\n\nWilson\'s subsequent trip to the hospital, the first of his adult life, was a different story altogether.\n\n\"The worst thing about hospitals,\" says Wilson, who was rescued when his daughter managed to break into the apartment, \"is that all the rights guaranteed in the first 10 amendments are immediately canceled. You have no civil rights whatsoever. And the second thing is, all the ordinary rules no longer apply--you are no longer a person deserving of kindness, you\'re a disobedient child who has to be reprimanded and herded around. My God, I don\'t know why people put up with such treatment.\" Wilson, we can presume, doesn\'t particularly like being told what to do.\n\n\"Not by people who treat me like an idiot. Not when I\'m 73 years old, I have 35 books in print, I supported a wife and four kids for most of my life. I do not appreciate being treated like a disobedient 4-year-old, the way they treat everybody in the hospital.\"\n\nOf course, you don\'t have to go to a hospital to be treated like that, but Wilson\'s on a roll ...\n\n\"I was an editor of Playboy, for chrissake,\" he cries, as though that, if nothing else, should carry some weight in this culture. \"I\'ve had plays performed in England, Germany and the United States; my books are in print in a dozen countries. Why the hell do they treat me like a child? I refuse to tolerate it. If they won\'t treat me with dignity, I won\'t go anywhere near them, especially with all the goddamned germs they got floating around there. CNN did a report on it--the number of people who are killed by diseases picked up in hospitals is much greater than the number who are killed by cars.\n\n\"I\'m never going to a hospital again. Never, never, never, never! I will lie on the floor and die before I go back to a hospital.\"\n\nMaybe, Baby\n\nA presumably less opinionated Robert Anton Wilson was born into this world--Brooklyn or Long Island, he claims not to remember which--on Jan. 18, 1932. Raised in an Irish-Catholic ghetto, he attended a Catholic school whose strict dogma and not exactly cheerful nuns helped inspire future rebellions. When he was 7 or 8, Wilson recalls in Bauscher\'s film, they told him there was no Santa Claus.\n\n\"I kept waiting for them to admit there\'s no God,\" says Wilson. \"They never did.\"\n\nWilson attributes the curing of his childhood case of polio at the age of 4 to the Sister Kenny method of physical therapy, which in those days was regarded by the medical community as so much quackery.\n\nSuch formative events left Wilson with a high regard for experimentation and research, as well as a decided antipathy for faith-based and conventional wisdom.\n\n\"Faith-based organizations say we don\'t need any more research, we know enough now, we can be dogmatic, whereas researchers say we don\'t know enough now, investigate, research,\" argues Wilson. \"Faith is a reason to become stupid: \'From this point forward, I will remain stupid.\' To me, faith-based organizations are responsible for everything I see wrong with this planet. Research-based organizations are responsible for everything I like about it. Before the French Revolution, the average life expectancy was 37 years. Now it\'s 78 years. All due to research-based organizations. Not at all due to faith-based organizations. All faith-based organizations give you is George Bush. Research-based organizations give you cures for disease.\"\n\nAt age 17, Wilson was planning a career in electrical engineering when he came across a copy of Alfred Korzybski\'s Science and Sanity while perusing the library bookshelves at Brooklyn Technical High School. Korzybski--who will be featured in the \"Tale of the Tribe\" class along with other seminal thinkers like Giordano Bruno, Giambatista Vico, Friederich Nietzsche, Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Buckminster Fuller, Claude Shannon and Marshall McLuhan--had as profound an influence on Wilson\'s young mind as his work would have on that of later generations.\n\nWilson was particularly taken with the Polish semanticist\'s critique of newer European languages. \"Korzybski suggested dozens of reforms in our speech and our writings, most of which I try to follow. One of them is if people said \'maybe\' more often, the world would suddenly become stark, staring sane. Can you see Jerry Falwell saying: \"Maybe God hates gay people. Maybe Jesus is the son of God.\' Every muezzin in Islam resounding at night in booming voices: \'There is no God except maybe Allah. And maybe Mohammed is his papa. Think about how sane the world would become after a while.\"\n\nMaybe it would.\n\n\"Well, yeah,\" says Wilson. \"Maybe.\"\n\nSome of It Has Got to Be True\n\nThe opening of the American mind, or at least the one belonging to Robert Anton Wilson, continued more-or-less unabated throughout the \'50s and \'60s. In 1958, he married Arlen Riley--who had worked as a scriptwriter for an Orson Welles radio show--and she went on to introduce Wilson to the work of Alan Watts. Friendship and collaborations with Timothy Leary followed, as well as experimentation with an array of drugs and mystic traditions. But it was in the decidedly secular surroundings of the Playboy editorial office, back in the late \'60s, that two associate editors would hatch the idea of the Illuminatus! Trilogy, which remains Wilson\'s best-known work to this day.\n\n\"I\'m sorry to disappoint you, but it was much like working at any other magazine,\" says Wilson, who never even got to visit Hef\'s grotto. \"I mean, you went into the office, you did your job and you went home. The difference is that all the girls were good-looking. Of course, I was happily married and not fucking all the secretaries, I\'m sorry to say.\"\n\nWilson and co-conspirator Robert Shea did borrow a few ideas from letters to the editor they received at Playboy, but most of the influence on their collaboration came from the broader gestalt of an era that was obsessed with esoteric arcana and increasingly paranoid about all manner of conspiracies.\n\n\"He and I were talking one night over bloody marys and peanuts,\" recalls Wilson, \"and he says, \'What if every conspiracy theory is true?\' It began as satire, but a lot of people were really scared by it. Which makes sense, because some of it has got to be true.\"\n\nCareening wildly from detective story to first-person rant, from twisted history to apocryphal speculation, the Illuminatus works continue to influence the oddest assortment of young minds. Camper Van Beethoven were outspoken fans, as were the Seattle Posies, who paid tribute to Wilson on their first album. (Wilson says Guns \'N\' Roses were also fans, but it\'s probably unfair to hold him responsible for them,) Author Tom Robbins is a Wilson devotee, as is Bay Area author R.U. Sirius, who took his name from Wilson\'s book, Cosmic Triggers, and went on to found Wired magazine precursor Mondo 2000. (Sirius is also one of the instructors at the Maybe Logic online academy, as are Dice Man author Luke Rhinehart; chaos magic godfather Peter Carroll; DePaul professor Patricia Monahan, who is also Robert Shea\'s widow; and several others.)\n\nWilson has also inspired at least two religions, or send-ups thereof: Discordianism took root in the immediate wake of the trilogy, while the Church of the Subgenius enshrined Wilson--in the form of pipe-clenching icon Bob Dobbs--as its figurehead some two decades later.\n\nWhile introducing him at a convention, Subgenius founder and high priest Ivor Stang called Wilson \"the Carl Sagan of religion, the Jerry Falwell of quantum physics, the Arnold Schwarzenegger of feminism\" and \"the James Joyce of swingset assembly manuals.\"\n\nAs the years went on, Wilson continued to write and speak with relentless energy. After he and his wife moved up to Capitola in the early \'90s, he used an early incident here as a way to explain quantum physics.\n\n\"When I moved from Los Angeles I moved into what I thought was Santa Cruz,\" Wilson told a European audience during footage included in Bauscher\'s film. \"Then we had something stolen from our car and we called the police, and it turned out we didn\'t live in Santa Cruz, we lived in a town called Capitola. The post office thought we lived in Santa Cruz, the police thought we lived in Capitola. I started investigating this and a reporter at the local newspaper told me we didn\'t live in Santa Cruz or Capitola, we lived in a unincorporated area called Live Oak.\"\n\n\"Now quantum mechanics is just like that,\" Wilson continues, \"except that in the case of Santa Cruz, Capitola and Live Oak, we don\'t get too confused because we remember we invented the lines on the map. But quantum physics seems confusing because a lot of people think we didn\'t invent the lines, so it seems hard to understand how a particle can be in three places at the same time and not be anywhere at all.\"\n\nThe League of Armed Marijuana Patients\n\nAfter 41 years of marriage, Wilson\'s wife and co-conspirator, Arlen, passed away in 1999, leaving Robert to continue on his own. The onset of post-polio symptoms has all but eliminated his speaking engagements, while making him a fervent proponent of the medical marijuana movement. \"I\'m a member of WAMM [Wo/Man\'s Alliance for Medical Marijuana] and of LAMP,\" says Wilson. \"LAMP is the League of Armed Marijuana Patients. And also the Guns & Dope Party.\"\n\nIt was under the auspices of the latter party that Wilson ran as a write-in alternative to Arnold Schwarzenegger in the recall election, putting forth a platform that included the replacement of capitol legislators with ostriches. More seriously, he made a rare public appearance at a medical marijuana rally in Sacramento last month. \"You know, at that WAMM rally the week before last, I was sitting up there and thinking, suppose some right-wing nut gets in and throws a bomb? Well, what the hell, I\'d rather die for a cause then die for nothing. It didn\'t bother me at all. I can\'t frighten myself anymore.\"\n\nBut he can tire himself out. Not only is Wilson\'s mobility limited by post-polio symptoms, they also make him experience temperatures as 20 to 40 degrees colder than they actually are. \"I was bitching to Lance about how post-polio problems are making it harder and harder to lecture, and he said, \'Well, why don\'t you start teaching online?\'\n\n\"I enjoy feedback,\" says Wilson. \"Intelligence is function of feedback. The more feedback you get, the more intelligent you become. The less feedback you get, the stupider you become.\"\n\nNow, Wilson can use his iMac to communicate with the world outside--including students, fans and colleagues. Among the latter category are people like Albert Hoffman, the inventor of LSD as well as a drug called Hydergine, which Wilson describes as his \"current panacea.\"\n\n\"It\'s a dendrite stimulant,\" explains Wilson. \"Your nervous system has more dendrites than muscles. I may be walking naturally again someday if it works as well as some claim. Albert Hoffman is going to have his 100th birthday in January after 25 years on Hydergine, and everybody says he looks as healthy as a 60-year-old.\"\n\nThrough the years, Wilson and Hoffman have stayed in touch. \"He\'s a fan of my books,\" says Wilson, \"and I\'m a fan of his drugs.\"\n\nYes, but Are You Serious?\n\nIn spite of his physical infirmity, Wilson is extremely generous with both his time and his wisdom. Still, even after hours of conversation, there remains one mystery he has yet to address. Maybe it\'s like asking a magician to give away the tricks of his trade, but when exactly is Wilson kidding and when is he, you know, serious?\n\nThe question causes Wilson to pause for the first time in our conversation, and then--is it by chance or conspiracy?--his phone rings.\n\nThe caller asks for Arlen Wilson, wanting to know if \"he\" is available to come to the phone. Wilson says no, and the caller asks to whom she\'s speaking.\n\n\"This is Boris Karloff,\" says Wilson.\n\n\"I\'m sorry,\" says the caller, \"did you say Boris Karloff?\"\n\n\"Yes, what can I do for you?\"\n\n\"Is Mr. Wilson available?\"\n\n\"No, he moved to Shanghai a few years ago.\"\n\nThe phone conversation comes to an abrupt end shortly thereafter.\n\nA telemarketer? I ask.\n\nNo, jury duty, he answers.\n\nOK, so at what point is Wilson kidding and at what point is he serious?\n\n\"The older I get, the less seriously I take anything,\" says Wilson. \"The Chinese say the wise become Confucian in good times, Buddhist in bad times and Taoist in old age. I\'m old enough to be a Taoist. I don\'t see anything very seriously.\" Not even, as it turns out, mortality.\n\n\"I know I\'m going to die sometime soon: five weeks, five months, five years,\" says Wilson. \"I don\'t know, maybe 50 years if stem cell research moves along. But I don\'t know and I don\'t care. And I can\'t take it seriously anymore. If George Bush is president of the free world, who can take anything seriously?\n\n\nFor more information on Robert Anton Wilson and links to his course, visit www.rawilson.com.','Premature Illumination','','publish','open','closed','','premature-illumination','','','2005-08-15 10:59:44','2005-08-15 10:59:44','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=132',0,'post','',0),(133,2,'2005-08-19 12:37:30','2005-08-19 12:37:30','\"Imagine a group of today\'s youth standing around with their skateboards and piercing\'s [sic], when all of a sudden, one of them looks up and sees an aircraft at 12,000 feet, with a smoke trail.† What appear to be 5 human beings have exited the airplane, all of them trailing a stream of smoke.† Nearly a minute later, brightly colored parachute with the single word, \"FORCE\" boldly visible, begin to open...†\"\n\nWelcome to <a href=\"http://www.forceministries.com/\" target=\"new\" >Force Ministries</a>...\n\nAnd this story from <a href=\"http://www.economist.com/World/na/PrinterFriendly.cfm?Story_ID=4275012\" target=\"new\">The Economist</a> provides some interesting background. (Via <a href=\"http://www.2ubh.com/\" target=\"new\">Tim Chapman</a>)\n\n<b>The jock-in-chief</b>\nAug 11th 2005\n\nAn old English idea has been reborn in the Bush White House\n\n\nTHE phrase “muscular Christianity” is more resonant of Victorian England than modern-day Washington, DC. The idea was invented by British public-school headmasters (most notably Thomas Arnold of Rugby) who believed that a combination of sport and religion could develop the all-important quality of “character”. And it soon inspired generations of Englishmen to bring God and team sports to “lesser breeds without the law”. But today anybody looking for muscular Christianity would be advised to try the capital of the new American empire.\n<!--more-->\nGeorge Bush\'s well-known enthusiasm for God goes hand-in-hand with an equally well-marked enthusiasm for muscularity. Mr Bush is in “superior” physical condition, according to his annual medical. He can bench-press 185lb five times in a row; and, before a recent knee injury, he could run three miles at an average pace of six minutes and 45 seconds.\n\nThis “superior” condition is the result of an exercise regime that would have delighted Dr Arnold. Mr Bush\'s daily schedule is a secret, for obvious reasons; but whenever a calamity throws light on his routine he is invariably exercising. Earlier this year the White House was evacuated when an aeroplane wandered into restricted air space. Mr Bush was off mountain biking. In 2001, a lunatic fired shots at the White House. The president was working-out. In the morning before tragedy struck on September 11th Mr Bush had been running with a journalist who also happened to be a former All-American long-distance runner.\n\nMr Bush is a sports-fan as well as an exercise fiend. His greatest ambition, apart from being president, was to be baseball commissioner; his biggest, perhaps only, business success was as the managing partner of the Texas Rangers; and his favourite pastime is watching sports (he was watching American football when he had that bruising encounter with a pretzel). He is also keen on spreading his faith in physical fitness. In 2002, he launched a national fitness campaign by dragging 400 of his wretched staffers on a three-mile run.\n\nMr Bush is surrounded by fellow jocks. Donald Rumsfeld is a former Navy wrestling champion who, at 73, makes a habit of walking five miles a day through the Pentagon corridors. He also likes to challenge underlings to squash. Condoleezza Rice is a former competition-level ice-skater who rises at dawn to run on her treadmill. Margaret Spellings, the education secretary, is a weight-lifter. Even Alberto Gonzales, the diminutive attorney-general, is keen on golf and racquetball.\n\nEnthusiasm for sport can be a ticket to Mr Bush\'s inner circle. Ms Rice works out with the president and spends time at Camp David watching baseball and football on television (apparently her most cherished dream is to be appointed the commissioner of the National Football League). And a poor physique can test the president\'s patience. When Mr Bush sacked Larry Lindsey, his portly economic adviser during his first term, he apparently complained in private about his failure to exercise.\n\nMr Bush\'s obsession was on full display during the search for a new Supreme Court justice. He apparently asked one candidate, Harvie Wilkinson, two tough questions: What is the most difficult decision you have ever made? And how much do you exercise? The 60-year-old Mr Wilkinson said he ran three and a half miles a day. But the president urged him to do more cross-training. “He warned me of impending doom,” Mr Wilkinson told the New York Times. In introducing the successful candidate, John Roberts, to the country Mr Bush highlighted the fact that he had been captain of his high-school football team—as if this made up for the fact that he was a swot at Harvard Law School.\n\n\nOnward Christian athletes\nThe contrast with Bill Clinton could hardly be greater. You could hardly imagine Mr Clinton introducing Stephen Breyer or Ruth Bader Ginsburg as his Supreme Court nominees by citing their hockey skills. As for the president himself, his jogging was mostly for show, and a hefty hamburger would often be consumed afterwards. Mr Clinton much preferred nerds to jocks, and even gave the Pentagon to slouching Les Aspin.\n\nMr Bush\'s own likings are par for the course in his party. Look at the Republicans on Capitol Hill. Dennis Hastert, the House speaker, made his name as a high-school wrestling coach. Bill Frist, the Senate majority leader, is a keen marathon runner who takes his staff on workouts around the Mall. Another senator with presidential ambitions, George Allen, was a college sports star (and the son of a famous Redskins coach). And Arnold Schwarzenegger is, well, Arnold Schwarzenegger.\n\nOr look at Republican voters. If the Democrats have an impregnable lead among the country\'s PhDs, the Republicans have a lock on the NASCAR crowd. For Democrats the main qualification for a top job is “intelligence”—hence their constant complaint that Republican presidents are too dumb for the job. But for Republicans the most important qualification is “character”—by which they mean an ability to hit balls and bang heads.\n\nMr Bush\'s preferences are also rooted in his family history. The Bushes have always made a point of sending their offspring to East Coast boarding schools that were modelled on Thomas Arnold\'s Rugby, where the chapel and the playing fields were carefully designed to inculcate muscular Christianity. Mr Bush\'s grandfather and father were both athletic stars (the 41st president played in the College World Series in both 1947 and 1948). A day at Kennebunkport is a mini-Olympics of tennis, swimming, horseshoes and high-speed golf.\n\nThis is not to say that all Democrats are nerds (John Kerry is a superb athlete), nor that all Republicans are jocks (Karl Rove is many things; athlete is not one of them). But therein lies the rub: unlike Democrats, Republicans are happy to let the jocks take the glory while the nerds do their homework for them.','God, guns and skydiving','','publish','open','closed','','god-guns-and-skydiving','','','2005-08-19 12:37:30','2005-08-19 12:37:30','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=133',0,'post','',0),(134,2,'2005-08-21 11:57:24','2005-08-21 11:57:24','<img alt=\"bullfrog.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/bullfrog.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" />\n\n\nFrom the <a href=\"http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article307312.ece\" target=\"new\" >Independent</a>\n\nFrench countryside hit by a massive invasion of frogs\nBy John Lichfield in Paris\nPublished: 21 August 2005\n\nA campaign in France to exterminate frogs may sound like the beginning of a civil war, but these are no ordinary frogs.\n\nHunters working for the government\'s wildlife agency will be stalking ponds in south-west France this weekend, aimed with flash-lights, rifles, silencers and night-vision sights.\n\nThey have been mobilised for the most intensive effort so far to terminate a plague of giant Californian bullfrogs which is threatening to disrupt the ecology of the Gironde, Dordogne and several other départements.\n\nThe aggressive and voracious bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), introduced illegally 37 years ago, can grow to more than 4lbs in weight and almost 2ft long. It consumes other frogs, fish, lizards and even small birds.\n<!--more-->\nSince the frogs were first released, as a joke, on a private pond near Libourne in 1968, they have colonised ponds, lakes, marshes and gravel pits all over the département of the Gironde. They have been found in the Landes area to the south and in the Dordogne, Lot-et-Garonne and Loir-et-Cher départements, further north.\n\nEcological groups have been warning for years that they must be eliminated to prevent the destruction of indigenous species. Had they been a delicacy for humans, the American interlopers might have been tolerated. Unfortunately for them, they are inedible (even their enormous legs).\n\nDestroying the frogs is not easy, however. The Gironde fisheries protection association attacked a pond full of bullfrogs with electricity a few years ago. The frogs fought back. The hunters battled with them for two hours. They killed just one frog before they gave up.\n\nAssaults on the frogs have also been made with nets and by draining ponds, to little effect.\n\nGame-keepers and volunteers working for the Office National de la Chasse et de la Faune Sauvage (National Hunting and Wild-life Agency) have now developed night-fighting techniques. The frogs are easier to locate at night because their eyes reflect torchlight.\n\n\"Shooting them with rifles is the most effective method we have found,\" said an environmental campaigner, Luc Gueugneau.\n\n\"It seemed like a rather mean-spirited approach at first but we found that it was the best way of killing all the adults.\"\n\nEven so, experimental attacks on ponds and lakes over the past 11 months have killed only 120 frogs. A much bigger offensive, starting this weekend, aims to exterminate all the bullfrogs in France within five to 10 years.','France vs colossal frogs','','publish','open','closed','','france-vs-colossal-frogs','','','2005-08-21 11:57:24','2005-08-21 11:57:24','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=134',0,'post','',0),(135,2,'2005-08-23 09:50:59','2005-08-23 09:50:59','Iran\'s \'culturally inappropriate\' rock hopefuls struggle to be heard\nRobert Tait in Tehran\nTuesday August 23, 2005\n<a href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/print/0,3858,5268329-103681,00.html\" target= \"new\">Guardian</a>\n\nThe soaring guitar solos and haunting keyboard melodies owe more than a nod to Pink Floyd, Yes, Deep Purple and other ageing icons of 70s British rock.\n\nBut while they may have emulated their heroes\' musical virtuosity, the members of Norik Misakian Band are unlikely to follow their path to world fame and fortune. As one of hundreds of Iranian rock acts springing up despite official disapproval, the group has never been able to experience playing a live gig in even the smallest setting.\n\nAnd far from coveting the hedonistic lifestyles of western rock stars, its four members have all but given up hope of earning a living from their music. Now they are trying to breach the cultural and bureaucratic barriers separating them from an audience by seeking permission to release their first album.\n<!--more-->\nThey are doing so in the face of mistrust from Iran\'s Islamic authorities, who see rock as a symbol of western decadence and political protest.\n\n\"We are swimming against the tide and we anticipate that it might be impossible,\" said Misakian, 34, the band\'s lead guitarist and songwriter. \"There are so many problems in trying to gain permission to release music and very often bands give up. But we won\'t give up. What\'s important for us isn\'t the financial issue but going beyond the boundaries and ensuring the album is available in music shops.\"\n\nThe ministry of culture and Islamic guidance has already rejected the 10-track instrumental album - carrying the English title Trails of the Soul - saying western rock is the product of drug addicts.\n\nUndaunted, the group has reapplied for permission in what will be an important test of the cultural climate under Iran\'s ultra-conservative new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. To do so, its producer is trying to persuade the authorities that its aims are purely musical, not political.\n\nThe album is the product of two and a half years of writing and recording in a tiny basement studio in the capital, Tehran.\n\nIf it gains official approval, the band intends to distribute the album as a DVD to Europe, the US and Gulf states, as well as outlets in Iran.\n\nWithout that approval, it will never be allowed to perform on stage. Only artists allowed to release CDs can seek permission to play live. \"It\'s impossible to make a living from rock music in Iran,\" said Edvin Markarien, 30, the bass player. \"You are playing for yourself. It\'s art for art\'s sake.\"\n\nThe band\'s plight reflects that of dozens of rock acts across Iran, only a handful of whom have released their music commercially.\n\nThe culture ministry vets all proposed releases for musical and lyrical content. To allay its suspicions, some groups, such as the Norik Misakian Band, write songs without lyrics. But the ministry, which does not officially recognise rock in its permitted music categories, frequently rejects such work as culturally inappropriate.\n\nSome artists have responded by setting up websites to distribute their material. Denied permission to perform live, others organise secret concerts in makeshift venues such as private homes or underground car parks, risking punishment by lashing if caught.\n\nThe restrictions, however, do not appear to have deterred the artists. A contest organised by an unofficial cultural website, Tehran Avenue, to find the most promising new Iranian music acts has attracted 86 entrants, more than 80% of whom are rock bands.\n\n\"Most of these bands are underground, with little chance of getting their work released, but their number is rising,\" said the website\'s founder, Sohrab Mahdavi. \"It makes sense. The young generation is with us. Around 70% of Iran\'s population is under the age of 35 and so many of them are inclined towards rock music.\"\n\nThe trend is a remarkable transformation since the 1979 revolution, when all music, except revolutionary and religious songs, was banned. The embargo was partially lifted after a ruling from Iran\'s late religious leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, which permitted traditional folk music.\n\nRock, which was popular before the revolution, began a comeback in the 1990s after a cultural thaw introduced by the then president, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, and extended by his reformist successor, Mohammed Khatami.\n\nAs a result, a wide selection of previously forbidden music, from artists such as David Bowie, Led Zeppelin and Radiohead, is legally available. But acts such as Madonna and Abba are ruled out by the Islamic ban on the female singing voice.','Iran rocks (quietly)','','publish','open','closed','','iran-rocks-quietly','','','2005-08-23 09:50:59','2005-08-23 09:50:59','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=135',0,'post','',0),(136,2,'2005-08-23 16:01:16','2005-08-23 16:01:16','via Tim Chapman...\n\nFor jihadist, read anarchist\nAug 18th 2005\nFrom <a href=\"http://www.economist.com/PrinterFriendly.cfm?Story_ID=4292760\" target=\"new\">The Economist</a> print edition\n\nRepression did little to stop anarchist violence. But eventually the world moved on and the movement withered\n\nBOMBS, beards and backpacks: these are the distinguishing marks, at least in the popular imagination, of the terror-mongers who either incite or carry out the explosions that periodically rock the cities of the western world. A century or so ago it was not so different: bombs, beards and fizzing fuses. The worries generated by the two waves of terror, the responses to them and some of their other characteristics are also similar. The spasm of anarchist violence that was at its most convulsive in the 1880s and 1890s was felt, if indirectly, in every continent. It claimed hundreds of lives, including those of several heads of government, aroused widespread fear and prompted quantities of new laws and restrictions. But it passed. Jihadism is certainly not a lineal descendant of anarchism: far from it. Even so, the parallels between the anarchist bombings of the 19th century and the Islamist ones of today may be instructive.\n<!--more-->\nIslamists, or at least those of the Osama bin Laden stripe, have several aims. Some—such as the desire “to regain Palestine”, to avenge the killing of “our nation\'s sons” and to expel all “infidel armies” from “the land of Muhammad”—could be those of any conventional national-liberation movement. Others are more millenarian: to bring everyone to Islam, which, says Mr bin Laden, “is the religion of showing kindness to others, establishing justice between them, granting them their rights, and defending the oppressed and persecuted.” All this will come to pass once everyone is living in an Islamic state, a caliphate governed by sharia law. Hence “the martyrdom operations against the enemy” and the promise of paradise for those who carry them out.\n\nAnarchists have always believed in the antithesis of a Muslim state. They want a world without rule. Their first great theoretician, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, wanted to abolish centralised government altogether. This, though, would not bring the chaos with which the word anarchy is often considered synonymous. On the contrary, a sort of harmonious order would ensue, the state being replaced by a system of autonomous groups and communities, glued together by contract and mutual interest in place of laws. Justice, argued this essentially non-violent man, was the “central star” governing society.\n\nThough Proudhon is remembered for the dictum, “Property is theft!” he actually believed that a man had the right to possess a house, some land and the tools to work it. This was too much for Mikhail Bakunin, a revolutionary nationalist turned anarchist who believed in collective ownership of the means of production. He believed, too, that “the passion for destruction is also a creative urge,” which was not a description of the regenerative workings of capitalism but a call to the barricades. Regeneration, however, was very much an anarchist theme, just as it is a jihadist one. As one of anarchism\'s leading interpreters, George Woodcock, has put it, “It is through the wrecks of empires and faiths that the anarchists have always seen the glittering towers of their free world arising.”\n\nWhat prompts the leap from idealistic thought to violent action is largely a matter for conjecture. Every religion and almost every philosophy has drawn adherents ready to shed blood, their own included, and in the face of tyranny, poverty and exploitation, a willingness to resort to force is not hard to understand. Both anarchism and jihadism, though, have incorporated bloodshed into their ideologies, or at least some of their zealots have. And both have been ready to justify the killing not just of soldiers, policemen and other agents of the state, but also of civilians.\n\n\nThe heads roll\nFor anarchists, the crucial theory was that developed in Italy, where in 1876 Errico Malatesta put it thus: “The insurrectionary deed, destined to affirm socialist principles by acts, is the most efficacious means of propaganda.” This theory of “propaganda by deed” was cheerfully promoted by another great anarchist thinker, Peter Kropotkin, a Russian prince who became the toast of radical-chic circles in Europe and America. Whether the theory truly tipped non-violent musers into killers, or whether it merely gave a pretext to psychopaths, simpletons and romantics to commit murders, is unclear. The murders, however, are not in doubt. In deadly sequence, anarchists claimed the lives of President Sadi Carnot of France (1894), Antonio Cánovas del Castillo, the prime minister of Spain (1897), Empress Elizabeth of Austria (1898), King Umberto of Italy (1900), President William McKinley of the United States (1901) and José Canalejas y Méndez, another Spanish prime minister (1912).\n\nSuch assassinations, it may be argued, were less similar to al-Qaeda\'s than to those of the Narodniki, the members of the Russian Party of the People\'s Will, who believed in “destroying the most powerful person in government” to undermine its prestige and arouse the revolutionary spirit. This they had undoubtedly done in 1881 by murdering Tsar Alexander II, even though he had been a reformer and, indeed, a liberator of the serfs. In truth, the practice of assassination is as old as the hills, though it got its name only in the 11th-13th centuries when it was followed by the Nizari Ismailiyun, a Shia sect that considered the murder of its enemies—conducted under the influence of hashish (hence assassin)—to be a religious duty.\n\nMr bin Laden would surely delight in some dramatic assassinations today. Presidents and prime ministers, however, do not nowadays sit reading the newspaper on the terraces of hotels where out-of-work Italian printers wander round with revolvers in their pockets, as Cánovas did, or walk the streets of Madrid unprotected while looking into bookshop windows, as Canalejas did. So Mr bin Laden must content himself with the assertion that on September 11th, “God Almighty hit the United States at its most vulnerable spot. He destroyed its greatest buildings...It was filled with terror from its north to its south and from its east to its west.”\n\nThe anarchists, too, were happy to resort to more indiscriminate acts of terror. “A pound of dynamite is worth a bushel of bullets,” said August Spies, the editor of an anarchist newspaper in Chicago, in 1886. His readers evidently agreed. A bomb thrown soon afterwards was to kill seven policemen breaking up a strikers\' gathering in the city\'s Haymarket Square.\n\nFrance, too, had its dynamitards. One of their bombs blew up the Restaurant Véry in Paris in 1892. Another, some months later, which was destined for a mining company\'s offices, killed six policemen and set off a flurry of wild rumours: acid had been placed in the city\'s water supply, it was said, churches had been mined and anarchists lurked round every corner. A year later a young anarchist, unable to earn enough to feed himself, his lover and his daughter, decided to take his own life—and at the same time make a protest. Ready to bomb but unwilling to kill, he packed some nails and a small charge of explosive into a saucepan and lobbed it from the public gallery into the Chamber of Deputies. Though it caused no deaths, he was executed—and then avenged with another bomb, this one in the Terminus café at the Gare St-Lazare which killed one customer and injured 19. The perpetrator of this outrage, designed to “waken the masses”, regretted only that it had not claimed more victims. A popular street song boasted:\n\nIt will come, it will come,\nEvery bourgeois will have his bomb.\n\nAnd many were inclined to agree. Four more bombs went off in Paris in the next two months.\n\nOther countries were hardly more peaceful. A bomb was lobbed into a monarchist parade in Florence in 1878, another into a crowd in Pisa two days later. In 1893, two bombs were thrown into the Teatro Liceo in Barcelona, killing 22 opera-goers on the first night of the season. A year later a French anarchist blew himself up by accident in Greenwich Park in London, presumably on his way to the observatory there. Two years later, at least six people taking part in a religious procession in Barcelona were blown to bits by an anarchist bomb. Countless attempts were also made on the lives of bigger names, such as King Alfonso XII of Spain (1878), Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany (May and June 1878), Andrew Carnegie\'s business partner, Henry Clay Frick (Pittsburgh, 1892), a Serbian minister (Paris, 1893) and King Alfonso XIII and his English bride (Madrid, on their wedding day, 1906). In this last incident alone 20 bystanders died.\n\nThen, as now, alarm and consternation broke out. Admittedly, violent attacks on prominent figures were quite frequent: one American president had been assassinated in 1865 (Lincoln) and another in 1881 (Garfield), and seven attempts were made on Queen Victoria\'s life before her reign ended in 1901, none of them by anarchists. Even so, governments could hardly do nothing. The response of some was repression and retribution, which often provoked further terrorist violence. Germany arrested 500 people after the second attack on the kaiser, many for “approving” of the attempts on his life. Spain was particularly prone to round up the usual suspects and torture them, though it also passed new laws. After the Liceo bombing, it brought in courts-martial for all crimes committed with explosives, and only military officers were allowed to be present during the trial of the supposed bombers.\n\nFrance, too, resorted to unusual measures. After the bombing of the French Chamber of Deputies, 2,000 warrants were issued, anarchist clubs and cafés were raided, papers were closed down and August Vaillant, the bomber, was tried, found guilty and sentenced to death in a day. An apologist who declared that not a single man in France would grieve for the president if he confirmed the sentence (as he did), and then was assassinated (as he was), was jailed for two years for incitement to murder. The French parliament made it a crime not just to incite sedition but also to justify it. Criminal “associations of malefactors” were defined by intent rather than by action, and all acts of anarchist propaganda were banned.\n\nSimilarly, in Britain soon after last month\'s bombings, the prime minister, Tony Blair, announced that “condoning or glorifying terrorism” anywhere, not just in the United Kingdom, would become a crime. Places of worship used as centres for “fomenting extremism” are to be closed down. Measures will be taken to deport foreigners “fostering hatred, advocating violence to further a person\'s beliefs, or justifying or validating such violence.” Naturalised Britons engaged in “extremism” will be stripped of their citizenship.\n\nJihadists, of course, cross borders, and many are presumed to be indoctrinated by foreigners, even if they commit their deeds at home. So it was too with the anarchists, even though they often plotted and acted alone. Many of the ideas came from Russia. Besides Bakunin, Russia also produced Kropotkin, “an uncompromising apostle of the necessity of violence”, according to Barbara Tuchman in “The Proud Tower”.\n\nItaly, by contrast, produced many of the assassins: for example, those who killed Carnot, Cánovas, Empress Elizabeth and King Umberto. It also exported utopians who founded anarchist settlements like the Cecilia colony in Brazil. Germany, too, had its share of fanatics, including Johann Most, the editor of an incendiary New York newspaper, Freiheit, and many of the Jewish anarchists who congregated in London\'s East End. France also sent anarchos abroad: a prominent theorist, Elisée Reclus, taught in Brussels. The man who shot McKinley was the child of Polish immigrants to America. And Switzerland, like England, played host to exiles who came and went with considerable freedom.\n\nNo wonder, then, that anti-foreigner feeling ran high in many places. In the United States, President Theodore Roosevelt asked Congress to exclude anyone who believed in “anarchistic principles” and, by treaty, to make the advocacy of killing an offence against international law. Congress duly obliged with an act that kept out anyone “teaching disbelief in or opposition to all organised government”.\n\nBy then an international conference had been held (in 1898) at the behest of Italy to seek help in fighting anarchism. The Italians did not get all they wanted: Belgium, Britain and Switzerland refused to abandon the right of asylum or to extradite suspected anarchists. But in 1893, just after the Liceo bombing, Britain had reluctantly banned open meetings of anarchists after the Liberal home secretary, H.H. Asquith, had come under attack for allowing an anarchist meeting to commemorate the Chicago Haymarket martyrs.\n\nThe vast majority of anarchists, like the vast majority of Islamists, were not violent, and some of those who once believed in bloodshed, notably Kropotkin, were to turn against it in time. But those who relished indiscriminate violence used an argument with striking similarities to that used by Mr bin Laden. Thus Emile Henry, who had left the bomb in the café at the Gare St-Lazare, was to justify his act by saying that those in the café were all “satisfied with the established order, all the accomplices and employees of Property and the State...There are no innocent bourgeois.” For his part, Mr bin Laden, in his “Letter to America” of November 2002, justifies the “aggression against civilians for crimes they did not commit” with a slightly more sophisticated variant. They deserved to die, he said, because, as American citizens, they had chosen “their government by way of their own free will, a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies.”\n\nSuch sentiments recall the characters of Conrad\'s “The Secret Agent” and Fyodor Dostoevsky\'s “Devils”. Inspired by 19th-century anarchist intellectuals and events, they describe men of almost autistic lack of empathy and contorted moral sense. For Conrad\'s protagonist, nicknamed the Professor, the world\'s morality\n\nwas artificial, corrupt and blasphemous. The way of even the most justifiable revolutions is prepared by personal impulses disguised into creeds. The Professor\'s indignation found in itself a final cause that absolved him from the sin of turning to destruction as the agent of his ambition. To destroy public faith in legality was the imperfect formula of his pedantic fanaticism; but the subconscious conviction that the framework of an established social order cannot be effectually shattered except by some form of collective or individual violence was precise and correct. He was a moral agent—that was settled in his mind. By exercising his agency with ruthless defiance he procured for himself the appearances of power and personal prestige. That was undeniable to his vengeful bitterness. It pacified its unrest; and in their own way the most ardent of revolutionaries are perhaps doing no more but seeking for peace in common with the rest of mankind—the peace of soothed vanity, of satisfied appetites, or perhaps of appeased conscience.\n\nAnarchists like the Professor, a quiet man who went round with a bomb in his pocket that he could detonate with the squeeze of a rubber ball should he be arrested, were difficult to detect and impossible to deter. So why did their wave of terror pass? Not, it seems, because of the measures taken to deter them. The main reason, rather, was that the world became consumed with the first world war, the Russian revolution, the fight against fascism and the struggles against colonialism. Another was that, after a while, the more rational anarchists realised that terrorism seldom achieves the ends desired of it—as the IRA has recently acknowledged.\n\nBut in truth the wave did not entirely pass; it merely changed. The anarchist terrorists of 1880-1910 were replaced by other terrorists—Fenians, Serb nationalists (one killed the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and thus sparked the first world war), Bolsheviks, Dashnaks (revolutionary Armenians), Poles, Macedonians, Hindu nationalists (among them the killers of Mahatma Gandhi), fascists, Zionists, Maoists, Guevarists, Black Panthers, Red Brigades, Red Army Fractions, Palestinians and even al-Qaeda\'s jihadists. Few of these shared the anarchists\' explicit aims; all borrowed at least some of their tactics and ideas.\n\nAnd the world went on. It probably would even if yesterday\'s dynamitards become today\'s plutoniumards. But terrorism is unlikely to be expunged. As long as there are men like Conrad\'s Professor, there will be causes to excite them, and therefore deeds to terrify their fellow citizens.\n\n\n\nSources:\n\n“Anarchism”, by George Woodcock, Pelican Books, 1962.\n\n“The Anarchists”, by James Joll, Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1964.\n\n“The Proud Tower”, by Barbara W.

While Americans focus on the central objects of photographs, Chinese individuals pay more attention to the image as a whole, according to psychologists at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, US.\n\n“There is plenty of anecdotal evidence suggesting that Western and East Asian people have contrasting world-views,” explains Richard Nisbett, who carried out the study. “Americans break things down analytically, focusing on putting objects into categories and working out what rules they should obey,” he says.\n\nBy contrast, East Asians have a more holistic philosophy, looking at objects in relation to the whole. “Figuratively, Americans see things in black and white, while East Asians see more shades of grey,” says Nisbett. “We wanted to devise an experiment to see if that translated to a literal difference in what they actually see.”\n<!--more-->\nThe researchers tracked the eye-movements of two groups of students while they looked at photographs. One group contained American-born graduates of European descent and the other was comprised of Chinese-born graduate students who came to the US after their undergraduate degrees.\n\nEach picture showed a striking central image placed in a realistic background, such as a tiger in a jungle. They found that the American students spent longer looking at the central object, while the Chinese students’ eyes tended to dart around, taking in the context.\n\nHarmony versus goals\n\nNisbett and his colleagues believe that this distinctive pattern has developed because of the philosophies of these two cultures. “Harmony is a central idea in East Asian philosophy, and so there is more emphasis on how things relate to the whole,” says Nisbett. “In the West, by contrast, life is about achieving goals.”\n\nPsychologists watching American and Japanese families playing with toys have also noted this difference. “An American mother will say: ‘Look Billy, a truck. It’s shiny and has wheels.’ The focus is on the object,” explains Nisbett. By contrast, Japanese mothers stress context saying things like, “I push the truck to you and you push it to me. When you throw it at the wall, the wall says ‘ouch’.\"\n\nNisbett also cites language development in the cultures. “To Westerners it seems obvious that babies learn nouns more easily. But while this is the case in the West, studies show that Korean and Chinese children pick up verbs – which relate objects to each other - more easily.\n\n“Nisbett’s work is interesting and suggestive,” says John Findlay, a psychologist specialising in human visual attention at Durham University, UK. “It’s always difficult to put an objective measure on cultural differences, but this group have made a step towards that.”\n\nNisbett hopes that his work will change the way the cultures view each other. “Understanding that there is a real difference in the way people think should form the basis of respect.”\n\nJournal reference: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (vol 102, p 12629)','East &amp; West: How we see things differently','','publish','open','closed','','east-west-how-we-see-things-differently','','','2005-08-24 12:32:46','2005-08-24 12:32:46','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=137',0,'post','',0),(138,2,'2005-08-25 09:39:58','2005-08-25 09:39:58','<img alt=\"SWAT_Team_Utah_Rave_6-20-05.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/SWAT_Team_Utah_Rave_6-20-05.jpg\" width=\"239\" height=\"179\" />\n\nSWAT teams raid what, according to the promoters, (though not the police) was an authorised rave in the Utah mountains, using helicopters, heavy weaponry, tear gas and some good old fashioned police brutality...\n\nThere\'s a video of the raid, including what looks like some serious SWAT vs raver action, <a href=\"http://homepage.mac.com/apexgrin/.Public/fascism.wmv\" target=\"new\">here</a> or <a href=\"http://www.abductionproductions.com/utahrave.mov\" target=\"new\">mirrored here</a>.

In a press release from the Sheriff\'s Office in Utah County, the department states that previous allegations of sexual abuse at other raves, as well as various firearm and theft violations, were reasons for the investigation. The release continues on to state that the proper permit was not obtained before the event started. The promoters deny this allegation and insist that all permits were legally obtained before the event.\n\nArmed with semi-automatic assault rifles and tear gas, the police used dogs to sweep the crowd for narcotics. At least one helicopter was used in the operation, which served as a large spotlight for the ground teams. Prior to raiding the show, several unnamed police informants had reportedly told police that they had observed some \"illegal activities\".\n<!--more-->\nThe promoter says the party took place on private property, named Child\'s Ranch, with express permission from the owner. The property owner has apparently had at least one previous lawsuit with police over a similar event. Utah County requires a permit, bond and county commission approval for all gatherings with more than 250 people present. According to a DJ at the event, \"They presold 700 tickets and they expected up to 3,000 people total.\" He added that by the time police arrived \"the crowd was about 1500\".\n\nThe police have publicly stated that only a permit from the health department was obtained, and that a Utah mass gathering permit was needed. The promoters have stated that they had the required permit, and have given a permit number (# 2005-11). Jay Stone, who handles mass gathering permits for the Utah County Health Department’s Bureau of Environmental Health Services, has confirmed that the permit was applied for and granted for the party. Officials also claim that the party had spilled over onto public land, and that more than 60 arrests were made in total - for weapons offenses, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, underage drinking, drug possession and distribution, resisting arrest, assault on a police officer, and disorderly conduct. Among the confiscated items and drugs found were cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, mushrooms, alcohol, and drug paraphernalia. Some of the drugs may include those confiscated from attendees by private security guards - who were also arrested.\n\nAmateur video from the scene shows a number of SWAT police (Sheriff\'s press release places the figure at 90) screaming orders at the DJs to \"Shut it down now!\" and yelling at others to \"get out now, or I\'ll kick your ass in jail.\" Armed police are also seen tackling two attendees, Alaisha Matagi and Paul Maka. It is unclear from the video footage whether these actions were provoked or not. However, those shown on the two-minute long footage that are being forced to the ground do not appear to be resisting arrest. Both Matagi and Maki are charged with failure to obey a police officer and resisting arrest - Paul is also charged with interfering with police. Sheriff Jim Tracy stated in an email that both of them were tackled and arrested after assaulting a deputy, however, neither of them are being charged with assaulting a police officer.\n\nA first hand account from a DJ booked to play at the party stated that while police were arresting a man accused of possession, the suspect was beaten to the ground and continually \"kicked in the ribs\" by four armed \"soldiers\" dressed in camouflage. The item was not shown on the video footage. According to the account, nobody resisted the policemen, and the crowd was orderly, but tear gas was thrown at the partiers as they attempted to leave as instructed. The DJ also states that police were attempting to confiscate video equipment, but an amateur video has still surfaced on the internet (see sources below). The video appears to have been taken near the DJ stand before it was moved to show more of the action.\n\nSeveral attendees felt they should have the right to attend an event where drugs may be present, so long as they don\'t personally use them. \"While it may be true that some individuals choose to take drugs at said events like this, myself as well as many others choose to go for the music. Just like anything, you have bad apples, but you shouldn\'t cut down the tree,\" said one attendee. \"Raves are not the only musical gatherings where drugs are used and distributed,\" said another.\nOther event-goers felt that the use of force in the shutdown was excessive - numerous eyewitness accounts by concertgoers describe people being beaten, tasered, or attacked with dogs. One account from an attendee, identified as \"Colby\", states:\n\n\"I saw at least two people being beaten on the ground while barking, snarling dogs are held just a few feet from them. Weapons were being pointed at unarmed, peaceful civilians. A friend of mine was forced at gunpoint to put his hands on his head and turn around, because he asked if he could get his things from the tent.\"\n\nUtah County sheriff\'s Sergeant Darren Gilbert also alleged that a 17-year-old girl was found overdosed on ecstasy, and was treated and released to her parents. According to an advertisement for the event, an attorney was present at the party. The local sheriff is scheduled to appear on Utah TV.\n\n---------\n---------\n\n\nAND here\'s a separate POV from one of the DJs at the event:\n\n\"Last night, I was booked to play an event about an hour outside of  Salt Lake City, Utah. The hype behind this show was huge, they presold 700 tickets and they ex! pected up to 3,000 people total. The promoters did an amazing job with the show.. they even made slipmats with the flyers on them to promote in local shops.So, we got to the show around 11:15 or so and it was really cool. It was all outdoors, in a valley surrounded by huge mountains. They had an amazing light show flashing on to a mountain behind the site, the sound was booming, the crowd was about 1500 people thick and everything just seemed too good to be true really.\n\nWell...At about 11:30 or so, I was standing behind the stage talking with someone when I noticed a helicopter pulling over one of the mountain tops. I jokingly said \"Oh look, here comes big brother\" to the person I was with. I wasn\'t far off.  The helicopter dipped lower and lower and started shining its lights on the crowd. I was kind of in awe and jus! t sat and watched this thing circle us for a minute. As I looked back towards the crowd I saw a guy dressed in camoflauge walking by, toting an assault rifle. At this point, everyone was fully aware of what was going on . A few \"troops\" rushed the stage and cut the sound off and started yelling that everyone \"get the fuck out of here or go to jail\". This is where it got really sticky.No one resisted. That\'s for sure. They had police dogs raiding the crowd of people and I saw a dog signal out a guy who obviously had some drugs on him. The soldiers attacked the guy (4 of them on 1), and kicked him a few times in the ribs and had their knees in his back and sides. As they were cuffing him, there was about 1000 kids trying to leave in the backdrop, peacefully.\n\nNext thing I know, A can of fucking TEAR GAS is launched in! to the crowd. People are running and screaming at this point. Girls are crying, guys are cussing... bad scene.Now, this is all I saw with my own eyes, but I heard plenty of other accounts of the night. Now this isnt gossip I heard from some candy raver, these are instances cited straight out of the promoters mouth..-  One of the promoters friends (a very small female) was attacked by one of the police dogs. As she struggled to get away from it, the police tackled her. 3 grown men proceeded to KICK HER IN THE STOMACH.- The police confiscated 3 video tapes in total. People were trying to document what was happening out there. The police saw one guy filming and ran after him, tackled him and his camera fell, and luckily.. his friend grabbed it and ran and got away. priceless footage. That\'s not all though! . Out of 1,500 people, there\'s sure to be more footage.- The police were rounding up the staff of the party and the main promoter went up to them with the permit for the show and said \"here, I have the permit.\" The police then said, \"no you don\'t\" and ripped the permit out of his hand. Then, they put an assault rifle to his forehead and said \"get the fuck out of here right now.\"Now.. let\'s get the facts straight here.This event was 100% legal. They had every permit the city told them they needed. They had a 2 MILLION DOLLAR insurance policy for the event. They had liscenced security guards at the gates confiscating any alcohol or drugs found upon entry (yes, they searched every car on the way in).\n\nOh, I suppose I should mention that they arrested all the security guards for possession.  Oh another interesting fact.. the police did not have a warrant. The owner of the land already has a lawsuit against the city for something similar. A few months ago, she rented her land for a party and the police raided that as well. And catch this, the police forced her to LEAVE HER OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY. That\'s right. They didnt arrest her, but made her leave her own property!!!Don\'t get it twisted, this is all going down in probably THE most conservative state in the USA. And this is scary.. a gross violation of our civil liberties.\n\nThe police wanted this party shut down, so they made it happen. Even though everything about this event was legal. The promoters spent over $ 20,000 on this show and did everything they had to to make it legit, only to have it taken away from them by a group of radical neo-con\'s with an agenda.This was one of the sca! riest things I have ever witnessed in person.  I can\'t even begin to describe how surreal it was. Helicopters, assault rifles, tear gas, camoflauge-wearing soldiers.... why?\n\nWas that really necessary? They broke up a party that was 100% legal and they physically hurt a lot of people there at the same time. The promoters already have 6 lawsuits ready to file with their lawyers and the ACLU is already involved.I\'m sure some pictures (and hopefully some video) will surface soon.

The findings add to evidence that cultural learning is widespread among animals.\n\nOne study involved killer whales at Marineland in Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada. An inventive male devised a brand new way to catch birds, and passed the strategy on to his tank-mates. The 4-year-old orca lures gulls into his tank by spitting regurgitated fish onto the water\'s surface. He waits below for a gull to grab the fish, then lunges at it with open jaws. \"They are in a way setting a trap,\" says animal behaviourist Michael Noonan of Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, who made the discovery, \"They catch three or four gulls this way some days.\"\n\nNoonan had never seen the behaviour before, despite three years of observations for separate experiments. But a few months after the enterprising male started doing it, Noonan spied the whale\'s younger half-brother doing the same thing. Soon the brothers\' mothers were enjoying feathered snacks, as were a 6-month-old calf and an older male. Noonan presented the research this month at the US Animal Behavior Society meeting in Snowbird, Utah.\n<!--more-->\nWild dolphins off the west coast of Australia were the first marine mammals in which cultural learning was observed. They apparently learn from group-mates how to use sponges to protect their snouts while scavenging (New Scientist, 11 June, p 12). But the evidence from killer whales is much more conclusive because the process was observed from start to finish.\n\nSome researchers have suggested that many purported examples of cultural transmission can instead be explained by individuals discovering the skill on their own rather than following another\'s lead. But because the gull-baiting behaviour is so unusual, \"it would be hard to argue that it is individual learning\", says ethologist Janet Mann of Georgetown University in Washington DC, one of the authors of the dolphin sponging study. Behavioural scientist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews in the UK agrees, \"This is a particularly clear set of observations.\"\n\nWhiten and his colleagues have meanwhile shown in a separate study that when chimpanzees learn a skill from their peers, they tend to stick with that method even if it isn\'t the most effective. Whiten\'s team taught two female chimps how to get food from a complicated feeder using a stick to move a barrier. One chimp learned to lift the barrier while the other was taught an apparently more efficient poking method. The chimps\' group-mates were then allowed to watch their respective experts at work.\n\nThe chimps followed the lead of their own expert chimp - the poker\'s group preferred to poke and the lifter\'s group lifted (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature04047).\n\nAnd even when some lifters learned to poke, the majority reverted to the group\'s original lifting strategy.\n\nGetting the message\n\nChimpanzees appear to be capable of communicating using sounds that refer to specific objects, according to a study of sounds made in response to different foods. It is the first time this ability has been demonstrated in chimps.\n\nPrimatologist Katie Slocombe of the University of St Andrews, UK, recorded the grunts made by chimps at nearby Edinburgh Zoo as they collected food at two feeders. One dispensed bread, considered a high-quality treat, and the other doled out apples, a much less sought-after snack.\n\nSlocombe then played back the recordings and watched the reactions of a 6-year-old male named Liberius. The results were striking. After hearing a bread grunt, Liberius spent far more time searching around the bread feeder, while an apple grunt would send him hunting under the apple feeder. Slocombe presented the work at the US Animal Behavior Society meeting in Snowbird, Utah, this month.\n\nThis is the first convincing evidence of \"referential communication\" in chimps, says primatologist Amy Pollick of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Earlier research with a close cousin of the chimpanzee - a male pygmy chimpanzee, or bonobo, named Kanzi - showed that he made specific sounds for four different things: bananas, grapes, juice and yes. But the researchers did not test if the sounds conveyed any meaning to other bonobos, and the same experiments have never been done in chimpanzees.\n\nLiberius, on the other hand, was able to take cues from apple and bread grunts made by at least three different chimpanzees.\n\nSlocombe plans to expand her study to include chimps at the Leipzig Zoo in Germany and hopes to confirm whether the grunts refer to specific foods or to their relative quality.\n\nBetsy Mason','More animals join the learning circle','','publish','open','closed','','more-animals-join-the-learning-circle','','','2005-08-26 14:43:46','2005-08-26 14:43:46','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=139',0,'post','',0),(140,2,'2005-08-29 18:33:19','2005-08-29 18:33:19','\"I\'m not actually a violent person but I had to learn to kill with my bare hands to make this movie [A History of Violence ].

Both the Welsh assembly and the local authority, Ceredigion council, regarded this vision of the future as eccentric and until the past few weeks had no place in their apprenticeship schemes or training programmes for it.\n\nBut Mr Smith and his family, and local people acting as trustees for his Deassartation School, are patient people. Understanding almost lost craft skills and adapting the design of Mongolian yurt shelters to suit the British climate took time.\n<!--more-->\n\"The fact that we spent five years living in a yurt meant at first people did not take us seriously, but you have to do that to get the design right,\" Mr Smith said. \"At present we live in a cottage while the Cilgerran school uses the yurt as an outside classroom, so we are temporarily respectable, but I am going to build more yurts soon so we can teach other people how to do it.\"\n\nOne of the couple\'s two children was born in the yurt. \"It takes some getting used to living in a yurt and I think you need two, even three, for a family,\" Mr Smith said.\n\n\"They are roomy but you often need somewhere separate to go and work, sleep and to cook and eat.\"\n\nMs Wagstaff has a postgraduate teaching qualification and while Mr Smith ran short courses in rotation coppicing, hedgelaying and stone walling, she began getting the school on a more formal basis so it could offer apprenticeships in craft skills to survive in the later 21st century.\n\nThe couple have a large stretch of woodland to manage for a local farmer, to provide material for yurt making and a training area for woodland skills.\n\nMs Wagstaff said: \"The problem is that the current system is geared towards a highly educated workforce to meet international competition with paper qualifications and numeracy rather than practical skills. What we want to do is rekindle craft skills so people can make the countryside productive and, if current society breaks down, use the same skills to survive.\"\n\nInstead of teaching people who already have paper qualifications, the couple plan to take the long-term unemployed and teach them to earn a living hedgelaying, producing charcoal, coppicing, stonewalling and using other craft skills now back in demand.\n\nMatt Flye, the Welsh assembly spokesman, said Wales was proud of its sustainable development policy but admitted that the idea of craft skills was outside the role of its apprenticeship schemes and education system and it had been unable to help.\n\n\"The Welsh assembly government does not offer direct grants to support this kind of development,\" he said.','Life After Doomsday','','publish','open','closed','','life-after-doomsday','','','2005-08-30 11:49:26','2005-08-30 11:49:26','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=141',0,'post','',0),(142,2,'2005-08-31 15:44:20','2005-08-31 15:44:20','This new fortean-oriented message board has gone on line and already looks promising.\nCheck it out <a href=\"http://www.wunderkabinett.co.uk/emporium/index.php\" target=\"new\" >here</a>','Cabinet of Wonders','','publish','open','closed','','cabinet-of-wonders','','','2005-08-31 15:44:20','2005-08-31 15:44:20','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=142',0,'post','',0),(143,2,'2005-09-05 14:48:50','2005-09-05 14:48:50','French Quarter Holdouts Create \'Tribes\'\nSep 4, 11:28 PM (ET)\n\n<a href=\"http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050905/D8CDRMSG2.html\" target=\"new\" >By ALLEN G. BREED</a>\n\nNEW ORLEANS (AP) - In the absence of information and outside assistance, groups of rich and poor banded together in the French Quarter, forming \"tribes\" and dividing up the labor.\n\nAs some went down to the river to do the wash, others remained behind to protect property. In a bar, a bartender put near-perfect stitches into the torn ear of a robbery victim.\n\nWhile mold and contagion grew in the muck that engulfed most of the city, something else sprouted in this most decadent of American neighborhoods - humanity.\n\n\"Some people became animals,\" Vasilioas Tryphonas said Sunday morning as he sipped a hot beer in Johnny White\'s Sports Bar on Bourbon Street. \"We became more civilized.\"\n<!--more-->\nWhile hundreds of thousands fled the below-sea-level city before the storm, many refused to leave the Vieux Carre, or old quarter. Built on some of the highest ground around and equipped with underground power lines, residents considered it about the safest place to be.\n\nKatrina blew off roof slates and knocked down some already-unstable buildings but otherwise left the 18th and 19th century homes with their trademark iron balconies intact. Even without water and power, most preferred it to the squalor and death in the emergency shelters set up at the Superdome and Convention Center.\n\nBut what had at first been a refuge soon became an ornate prison.\n\nPolice came through commandeering drivable vehicles and siphoning gas. Officials took over a hotel and ejected the guests.\n\nAn officer pumped his shotgun at a group trying to return to their hotel on Chartres Street. \"This is our block,\" he said, pointing the gun down a side street. \"Go that way.\"\n\nJack Jones, a retired oil rig worker, bought a huge generator and stocked up on gasoline. But after hearing automatic gunfire on the next block one night, he became too afraid to use it - for fear of drawing attention. Still, he continues to boil his clothes in vinegar and dip water out of neighbors\' pools for toilet flushing and bathing.\n\n\"They may have to shoot me to get me out of here,\" he said. \"I\'m much better off here than anyplace they might take me.\"\n\nMany in outlying areas consider the Quarter a playground for the rich and complain that the place gets special attention.\n\nYes, wealthy people feasted on steak and quaffed warm champagne in the days after the storm. But many who stayed behind were the working poor - residents of the cramped spaces above the restaurants and shops.\n\nTired of waiting for trucks to come with food and water, residents turned to each other.\n\nJohnny White\'s is famous for never closing, even during a hurricane. The doors don\'t even have locks.\nSince the storm, it has become more than a bar. Along with the warm beer and shots, the bartenders passed out scrounged military Meals Ready to Eat and bottled water to the people who drive the mule carts, bus the tables and hawk the T-shirts that keep the Quarter\'s economy humming.\n\n\"It\'s our community center,\" said Marcie Ramsey, 33, whom Katrina promoted from graveyard shift bartender to acting manager.\n\nFor some, the bar has also become a hospital.\n\nTryphonas, who restores buildings in the Quarter, left the neighborhood briefly Saturday. Someone hit him in the head with a 2-by-4 and stole his last $5.\n\nWhen Tryphonas showed up at Johnny White\'s with his left ear split in two, Joseph Bellomy - a customer pressed into service as a bartender - put a wooden spoon between Tryphonas\' teeth and used a needle and thread to sew it up. Military medics who later looked at Bellomy\'s handiwork decided to simply bandage the ear. \"That\'s my savior,\" Tryphonas said, raising his beer in salute to the former Air Force medical assistant.\n\nA few blocks away, a dozen people in three houses got together and divided the labor. One group went to the Mississippi River to haul water, one cooked, one washed the dishes.\n\n\"We\'re the tribe of 12,\" 76-year-old Carolyn Krack said as she sat on the sidewalk with a cup of coffee, a packet of cigarettes and a box of pralines.\n\nThe tribe, whose members included a doctor, a merchant and a store clerk, improvised survival tactics. Krack, for example, brushed her dentures with antibacterial dish soap.\n\nIt had been a tribe of 13, but a member died Wednesday of a drug overdose. After some negotiating, the police carried the body out on the trunk of a car.\n\nThe neighbors knew the man only as Jersey.\n\nTribe member Dave Rabalais, a clothing store owner, said he thinks the authorities could restore utilities to the Quarter. But he knows that would only bring \"resentment and the riffraff.\"\n\n\"The French Quarter is the blood line of New Orleans,\" he said. \"They can\'t let anything happen to this.\"\n\nOn Sunday, the tribe of 12 became a tribe of eight.\n\nFour white tour buses rolled into the Quarter under Humvee escort. National Guardsmen told residents they had one hour to gather their belongings and get a ride out. Four of the tribe members decided to leave.\n\n\"Hallelujah!\" Teresa Lawson shouted as she dragged her suitcase down the road. \"Thank you, Jesus!\"\nFor Mark Rowland, the leaving was bittersweet.\n\n\"I\'m heart-broken to leave the city that I love,\" Rowland said as he sat in the air-conditioned splendor of the bus. \"It didn\'t have to be this way.\"','After the storm, the tribes emerge','','publish','open','closed','','after-the-storm-the-tribes-emerge','','','2005-09-05 14:48:50','2005-09-05 14:48:50','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=143',0,'post','',0),(144,2,'2005-09-05 15:07:28','2005-09-05 15:07:28','Sonic \'Lasers\' Head to Flood Zone\nBy Xeni Jardin\nStory from <a href=\"http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0%2C1282%2C68732%2C00.html?tw=wn_story_mailer\" target=\"new\" >Wired</a> (some nice <a href=\"http://www.wired.com/news/images/0,2334,68732-19266,00.html\" target=\"new\" </a>pics here too)\n\n02:00 AM Sep. 02, 2005 PT\n\nEDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, California -- Air-raid sirens, Frank Sinatra songs and Muhammad Ali trash talk blared over the Southern California desert in a demonstration of new acoustic technology for crowd control and disaster communications.\n\n\nIn mid-90\'s morning heat at Edwards Air Force Base, HPV Technologies and American Technology demonstrated prototypes of non-lethal sonic devices for a group of military and law enforcement guests, including representatives of the U.K. Home Office.\n\nRepresentatives of both companies say that within days, they will ship some units of their respective products to areas hit by Hurricane Katrina, so authorities can use the tools for crowd control, aid distribution and rescue operations.\n\nCosta Mesa, California-based HPV showed off three sizes of its Magnetic Acoustic Device, or MAD, a black square panel composed of multiple speakers. The units on display ranged from about 4 to 10 feet across.\n\nThe device uses magnets approximately 6 inches tall and 9.25 inches wide to convert electrical pulses into sound waves, and is capable of aiming sound precisely for thousands of feet -- like the sonic equivalent of a laser, or spotlight.\n<!--more-->\nIts path and reach can be affected by environmental factors such as nearby flat surfaces, hills, bodies of water or strong bursts of wind.\n\nA series of test sounds beamed out by MAD, including gunfire, music and instructional commands, were audible and intelligible at distances of up to a mile.\n\nWhen a subject is at close range in MAD\'s sonic path, and it is set to high volume, the sound can be excruciating.\n\nThe ability to broadcast instructions or alerts at great distances with minimal distortion could be useful for authorities and rescue crews in areas where other communications systems are unavailable.\n\nAmerican Technology is donating four devices -- three MRADs (medium-range acoustic devices) and one LRAD (long-range acoustic device). The four devices will be shipped out Friday to a Marine military police unit that is deploying to the Gulf States area for disaster-relief efforts.\n\n\"We are donating the use of one of our most powerful prototypes, LTPMS-2, for use in Mississippi as soon as possible, because the governor of that state said that the biggest problem they have right now is the fact that they have no communications infrastructure to get information or instructions out to people,\" he said. \"They can very easily put this on a truck and send sound out for a minimum of at least a mile in either direction.\"\n\nThe Los Angeles Sheriff\'s Department, which hosted the event as a guest of the Air Force base, is considering using MAD to replace conventional public address systems and as a non-lethal \"area denial option\" -- a way to clear crowds in civil unrest without using chemical agents, rubber bullets or the like.\n\n\"You don\'t appreciate how powerful this stuff is until you stand a mile away and can\'t see the transmitter -- but can hear every word in a Queen song,\" said Cmdr. Sid Heal, who heads the Los Angeles Sheriff\'s Department technology exploration program. \"At a quarter mile, it sounds as clear as a car radio; at a half a mile, you have to raise your voice to talk to the guy next to you; at three quarters of a mile, laborers raking up leaves were putting in music requests.\"\n\nAlso on display at Edwards Air Force Base was American Technology\'s LRAD, a portable device that can be easily mounted on vehicles. Its smaller size and light weight comes with an accordingly smaller reach: The device is generally used for distances from 100 to 600 meters.\n\nThe U.S. Navy is currently using 60 of the devices in Iraq and other regions. Several U.S. law enforcement agencies are using or plan to use the device shortly.\n\nAmerican Technology announced today that Boston\'s police department has signed up for the device, citing its safety advantage over conventional crowd-control agents. In 2004, the Boston Police Department was held responsible when a female Red Sox fan died after being struck in the eye with a pepper gas projectile.\n\nWhile both manufacturers stressed that their devices were designed primarily to hail, warn or communicate, other sonic technologies have been used by governments as a less pleasant way to disperse crowds.\n\nVehicle-mounted devices were used by Israeli authorities to scatter groups earlier this year, when Palestinians and Jewish supporters gathered to protest Israel\'s West Bank separation barrier. Dubbed \"The Scream\" by the Israeli Army, the device sends out streams of noise in intervals of about 10 seconds. The specific sonic frequencies chosen affect the inner ear, creating dizziness and nausea in human targets.\n\nIn a report, AP quoted an unnamed Israeli military official as saying the device emits a frequency that targets the inner ear, can cause damage with exposure for several minutes at close range, and compels humans nearby to leave the area. Exposure for minutes at close range could cause hearing damage. Information about longer-term exposure effects at long distances has not been publicly disclosed.\n\nBoth HPV\'s MAD and American Technology\'s LRAD are said to excel in mid- to higher-frequency sound ranges where sounds like sirens, alert \"chirps\" and human speech reside. Products from both companies could be used, at high volume, to harm subjects who do not comply with commands.\n\nDevices from both companies vary in price, depending on quantity sold, size and which agency is purchasing -- but generally range from $10,000 to $75,000 per unit.','Sonic &#039;Lasers&#039; Head to Flood Zone','','publish','open','closed','','sonic-lasers-head-to-flood-zone','','','2005-09-05 15:07:28','2005-09-05 15:07:28','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=144',0,'post','',0),(145,2,'2005-09-05 15:59:12','2005-09-05 15:59:12','September 4, 2005, <a href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/04/arts/design/04kenn.html?adxnnl=1&8hpib=&adxnnlx=1125929722-8AOfDdDUKFPDv22iM3OnGg&pagewanted=all\" target= \"new\" >New York Times</a>\n\nBy RANDY KENNEDY\nTHE PERFECT MEDIUM: PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE OCCULT\nMetropolitan Museum of Art\nFifth Avenue and 82nd Street, Sept. 27 through Dec. 31.\n\nIT is not a place you would normally expect to find a curator preparing for a major photography show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But a few summers ago, Pierre Apraxine was camped out on the third floor of a rambling town house on West 73rd Street near Central Park, the headquarters of the American Society for Psychical Research, a 120-year-old repository of the paranormal whose founders included the philosopher William James.\n\nIn the world of photo collecting and scholarship, Mr. Apraxine is nothing less than an institution. For almost two decades, he served as the eyes, ears and auction proxy for the philanthropist Howard Gilman, who built a collection - recently acquired by the Met - that is widely considered to be one of the most important in the world, thanks largely to Mr. Apraxine\'s expertise and globe-trotting tenacity.\n<!--more-->\nOn this particular day, however, Mr. Apraxine was working in the service not of photography but of the sixth sense, of that great invisible interchange that the Russian spiritualist Mme. Blavatsky described as a kind of astral post office. He had folded his lanky 6-foot-3 frame into a small, steel soundproof booth illuminated by a red lamp. Halves of Ping-Pong balls were taped over his eyes and headphones hissing white noise were placed over his ears. In a room nearby sat a fellow curator and friend, Sophie Schmit, who was given a randomly selected image on a piece of paper. The goal was for Mr. Apraxine, sealed in his chamber - lulled into a deeply relaxed condition known as a ganzfeld state - to receive the image that Ms. Schmit was sending.\n\nAs it turned out, he performed fairly well, describing several images that corresponded to the ones Ms. Schmit was holding. (In the interest of the research, the society asks that the images not be made public.) When the positions were reversed, with Ms. Schmit in the chamber, the pair did even better - Ms. Schmit described with sometimes eerie accuracy the image he was mentally willing her to see.\n\nNone of this was particularly surprising to Mr. Apraxine, who grew up on a family estate in Estonia where supernatural goings on often seemed to be part of the natural course of the day. According to stories his mother told him, a vaporous woman in white who may or may not have been the specter of an old aunt appeared regularly, sometimes fluttering over Mr. Apraxine\'s crib.\n\n\"She was a benevolent spirit, in that she was watching over me,\" he explained. \"On the other hand, she did not like one of the maids and she terrified other members of the household, especially if someone was stealing. She was a watchdog.\"\n\nAnd does Mr. Apraxine, 70, a former Fulbright scholar and a sterling product of a post-Enlightenment education, really believe this story? Or in things that go bump in the night? During lunch recently at the Met, he looked up from his plate and stared out into Central Park for a moment. \"I have a formula, an answer for that that is ready-made,\" he said. \"I believe you can see a ghost, but that doesn\'t mean I believe in ghosts.\"\n\nHe paused and elaborated: \"I remain a noncommitted observer - that\'s the best way to put it.\"\n\nBut Mr. Apraxine has been a curious and open-minded observer almost all of his life, consulting psychics, undergoing hypnosis, reading books and magazines about the paranormal and, once, visiting a voodoo ceremony in Haiti. So his involvement in organizing the show at the Met - \"The Perfect Medium: Photography and the Occult,\" a fascinating survey of the ways in which photography has been used to try to prove the existence of the supernatural - is more than just a professional or aesthetic exercise for him. At the least, it is one of those coincidences Mr. Apraxine says he decidedly does not believe in.\n\n\"There is nothing accidental - at least in my life,\" he says.\n\nHis early adult interest in occult photography grew out of his work as a collector, not a spiritual seeker, he said. In the early 1970\'s, when he began to work with Gilman to build a world-class photo collection, the strength of the Gilman holdings was in 20th-century work by photographers like Walker Evans and Robert Frank. Mr. Apraxine\'s mission was to start trolling backwards, buying good pictures from the 19th century, stretching all the way back to photography\'s infancy in the 1830\'s. To the surprise of both men, who had assumed that most of the best of 19th-century photography had already been bought by museums, masterpieces were still for sale around the world, and many were being sold for what now seem to be laughably small sums.\n\nAs the collection deepened, occult photographs were simply another important piece of the field\'s history. From the 1870\'s through the 1930\'s, the belief that cameras had the power to capture not just the visible and fleeting but also the invisible and ephemeral produced a huge body of images intended as almost scientific exhibits. (They also served as sales pitches for photographers offering Civil War widows a last glimpse of a loved one.)\n\nThe 120 pictures in the exhibition are by turns spooky, beautiful, disturbing and hilarious. They are also, by and large, the visual records of decades of fraud, cons, flimflams and gullibility - though there are also some pictures, like those produced by an eccentric Chicago bellhop, Ted Serios, said to be purely from his thoughts, in the 1960\'s, that have never been adequately explained.\n\n\"We don\'t consider it the real stuff, you know,\" said Dr. Nancy Sondow, president of the American Society for Psychical Research, which lent several photographs to the show. Still, she added, \"I guess it\'s interesting from the standpoint of the history of photography.\"\n\nThe pictures are a window onto a bizarre, and almost forgotten, period of American and European history, when the camps of spiritualism and strict rationality battled it out on the front pages of newspapers. The 1869 fraud trial of William Mumler, a Boston and New York photographer who was the first known practitioner of spirit photography, became a public spectacle. The mayor of New York himself ordered an investigation into his practices, and P. T. Barnum testified for the prosecution, speaking as the Amazing Randi of his day. But Mumler had many defenders. His patrons included Mary Todd Lincoln, who visited him after her husband\'s assassination; she took away a photo that shows his ghostly form standing behind her. (Mumler was acquitted at his trial, but discredited, suspected of manipulating photo plates.)\n\nSpirit photography began in a typically American burst of entrepreneurship, and for this reason serious European spiritualists were slow in joining. One wrote that while the United States had taken the lead in many things, it had also \"left us far behind in the invention of false rumors.\" But the practice soon took off in France and England, and produced groups whose names seemed to be lifted right from the pages of H. G. Wells or J. K. Rowling: the Society for the Study of Supernormal Pictures, the British College of Psychic Science, the Occult Committee of the Magic Circle.\n\nBy World War II interest had peaked, but the exhibition makes clear that it has never really gone away. The show includes some of the famous Polaroid images produced by Mr. Serios, who claimed to be able to project his thoughts onto film and whose work remains one of the best documented and most hotly debated cases in the field. Even today, fascination with the practice is widespread, aided by video technology and the Internet - just type the words \"ghost hunter\" into Google and you can find thousands of examples of contemporary images purporting to show otherworldly emanations.\n\nMr. Apraxine and Ms. Schmit, who organized the show with three other curators, stressed that the only way to do such a show was to profess official agnosticism. \"The authors\' position is precisely that of having no position, or at least not in so Manichean a form,\" they wrote in the exhibition\'s catalog.\n\nBut in a telephone interview from her home in Paris, Ms. Schmit conceded that a strong sense of \"what if?\" was also a basic requirement. \"If I hadn\'t considered at least the possibility of it existing,\" she said, \"I don\'t think I would have ever been interested in doing the exhibit.\" That summer day at the American Society for Psychical Research, where the two curators were sorting through the group\'s archives to find photographs for the show, they agreed to participate in the telepathy experiment not as a joke but as a sort of curatorial research assignment for extra credit. \"We are very open, both us, to that kind of thing,\" she said.\n\nIndeed, for Mr. Apraxine, it seems to have been at times more than just openness. A charming but private man who combines Old World elegance with an almost childlike enthusiasm, he tells of several encounters in his life that he has found hard to explain. Raised mostly in Belgium after his family left Estonia, he was sent by his family to Ireland to learn English and one night sneaked alone into an abandoned house rumored to be haunted - Mr. Apraxine pronounces it \"HOWN-ted\" - where he says he heard a clock ticking in a room with no clock and footsteps where there appeared to be nobody walking.\n\nLater in his life, in the 1960\'s, on the advice of acquaintances who worked at the occult magazine Planète in Paris, he went to see his first psychic, in the countryside near Orléans. \"I wanted to see what my life would be like,\" he explained. He recalled being nervous and feeling a little silly. \"I was expecting to see someone clothed in robes with an owl on his shoulder, you know?\" he said. Instead the man was wearing shorts, and in his backyard among the clucking chickens, using a pendulum as an aid, he foretold for Mr. Apraxine \"all the salient points of my life - and they all happened.\" And Mr. Apraxine said all this as matter-of-factly as if he were discussing daguerreotypes.\n\nLater, after moving to New York, he regularly consulted another psychic in the West Village and urged one of his reluctant friends to see her, too. \"I wanted to destabilize his Cartesian mind,\" he explained, smiling.\n\nAt this point in his life, Mr. Apraxine said, he feels that many of his curiosities about otherworldly things have been satisfied, or have at least gone into hibernation for a while. He reads less about the occult and hasn\'t seen a psychic in years. Or, for that matter, a ghost. (He sent a follow-up e-mail message to a reporter after the interview, just to make sure that he did not appear as inordinately apparition-obsessed: \"I do not smirk at people who tell me of paranormal experiences,\" he wrote, \"but neither do I believe that the silhouette in a badly lit corridor is the ghost Aunt Dorothea coming back to spy on her husband.\")\n\nIn many ways, he said, the Met exhibition did not develop as an outgrowth of his interests. It simply became another way of working through them, an exploration he hopes that people who see the show may want to take, too.\n\n\"I thought, \'Maybe I will learn something by delving more deeply into this subject,\' \" he said, \" \'and maybe I will learn something about myself.\' \"','The Ghost in the Darkroom','','publish','open','closed','','the-ghost-in-the-darkroom','','','2005-09-05 15:59:12','2005-09-05 15:59:12','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=145',0,'post','',0),(146,2,'2005-09-13 15:01:57','2005-09-13 15:01:57','CATHI UNSWORTH will be reading from her new book \"The Not Knowing\" at THE HORSE HOSPITAL, Russell Square, London on Friday 23 September, alongside LYDIA LUNCH, MARTYN WAITS, TOMMY UDO and with music from the great TERRY EDWARDS.

But even miracle-hardened Italians have been taken aback by the affair of the medium and the body in the lake.\n\nThe body of Chiara Beriffi, who disappeared three years ago, was found in her car in Lake Como in precisely the area indicated by a medium, Maria Rosa Busi, who had been approached for help by Ms Beriffi\'s parents in March. A police source said it was a \"million to one chance\" that the vehicle would be found in the area marked by the medium.\n<!--more-->\nSince Sunday, when volunteer divers found the car, the case has been debated on radio, television and in magazines. Divers initially balked at the venture because the spot identified by Ms Busi was 500ft from shore. Detectives were yesterday trying to work out how the four-wheel drive came to be so far from the lakeside.\n\nOn Tuesday the dead woman\'s father, Francesco Beriffi, watched as the dark red vehicle was hauled 400ft from the bottom of the lake by a ship-borne crane. \"I hesitate to believe in voices from beyond\", he said. \"But I really cannot be sceptical.\"\n\nCritics, however, accused Ms Busi of working out the spot from known information. On Tuesday the medium broke off a heated exchange with an interviewer in a live television show.\n\nInvestigations are continuing into whether Ms Beriffi, 30, who suffered from depression, took her own life or drove off the road accidentally on the rainy winter night when she vanished.

Rashes, vomiting, high temperature, and cramps: the classic signs of smallpox. Once thought wiped out, the disease is back and threatening a pandemic of epic proportions.\n\nThe government faces a dilemma: It needs people to stay home, but if the news breaks, mass panic might ensue as people flee the city, carrying the virus with them.\n\nA shadowy media firm steps in to help orchestrate a sophisticated campaign of mass deception. Rather than alert the public to the smallpox threat, the company sets up a high-tech \"ops center\" to convince the public that an accident at a chemical plant threatens London. As the fictitious toxic cloud approaches the city, TV news outlets are provided graphic visuals charting the path of the invisible toxins. Londoners stay indoors, glued to the telly, convinced that even a short walk into the streets could be fatal.\n\nThis scenario may sound like a rejected plot twist from a mediocre Bond flick, but one company is dead set on making this fantasy come to life.\n\nStrategic Communication Laboratories, a small U.K. firm specializing in \"influence operations\" made a very public debut this week with a glitzy exhibit occupying prime real estate at Defense Systems & Equipment International, or DSEi, the United Kingdom\'s largest showcase for military technology.

To folks in Pocatello, he\'s the face of the weather at KPVI News Channel 6.\n\nThe Pocatello native made his final Channel 6 forecast Thursday night, leaving a job he\'s held for nine years in order to pursue his weather theories on a full-time basis.\n\n\"I\'m going to miss that broadcast, but I\'m not going to miss not getting home until 11 p.m.,\" Stevens said. \"I just don\'t have the hours of the day to take care of my research and getting those (broadcasts) out and devoting the necessary research to the station.\"\n\nIt was Stevens\' decision to leave the TV station, said KPVI general manager Bill Fouch.\n<!--more-->\n\"When Scott signed his current contract, he told Brenda and me at the time that it would be his last contract,\" Fouch said Thursday. \"We knew, but the timetable moved up because of all the attention (he\'s been getting.)\"\n\nSince Katrina, Stevens has been in newspapers across the country where he was quoted in an Associated Press story as saying the Yakuza Mafia used a Russian-made electromagnetic generator to cause Hurricane Katrina in a bid to avenge the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima. He was a guest on Coast to Coast, a late night radio show that conducts call-in discussions on everything from bizarre weather patterns to alien abductions. On Wednesday, Stevens was interviewed by Fox News firebrand Bill O\'Reilly.\n\nStevens said he received 30 requests to do radio interviews on Thursday alone.\n\nFouch said Stevens wanted to leave as quickly as possible because his \"plate is full,\" and he needs to take advantage of the opportunities that exist now.\n\nStevens said he\'s received offers that he\'s not at liberty to discuss.\n\nStevens, 39, who was born in Twin Falls, plans to remain in Pocatello, where his family remains. He said his family wishes him the best in his future endeavors.\n\nIt costs him hundreds of dollars each month to run his Web site, weatherwars.info, but he said that\'s a price he\'s willing to pay.\n\n\"There\'s a chess game going on in the sky,\" Stevens said. \"It affects each and every one of us. It is the one common thread that binds us all together.\"\n\nAlthough the theories espoused by Stevens - scalar weapons, global dimming - are definitely on the scientific fringe today, there are thousands of Web sites that mention such phenomena.\n\n\"The Soviets boasted of their geoengineering capabilities; these impressive accomplishments must be taken at face value simply because we are observing weather events that simply have never occurred before, never!\" Stevens wrote on his Web site. \"The evidence of these weapons at work found within the clouds overhead is simply unmistakable. These patterns and odd geometric shapes seen in our skies, each and every day, are clear and present evidence that our weather has been stolen from us, only to be used by those whose designs for humanity are rarely in alignment with that of the common man.\"\n\nHowever, Stevens never discussed his weather theories on the air during his time at Channel 6 - an agreement he had with the station management. What the meteorologist chose to do in his off time was his business, said his manager of eight years.\n\nFouch said he would miss Stevens, whom he described as energetic, easy-going and enthusiastic about the weather, but he is supportive of his decision to pursue his passion.\n\n\"His theories are his theories,\" Fouch said. \"But, if you think about it - of all the TV weather people, he continues to be the most accurate. It isn\'t his theories getting involved with his professional job.\"\n\nFor Stevens, however, the recent attention to his theories has been somewhat of a distraction from work.\n\n\"When there has been so much attention, it gets in the way of them doing their jobs and me doing my job,\" Stevens said.\n\nFind out more:\n\nTo learn more about Stevens and his thoughts on manipulated weather, check out his Web site at www.weatherwars.info, or go to www.journalnet.com/articles/2005/03/06/opinion/opinion04.txt to read the story that Journal City Editor Greg McReynolds wrote about Stevens in March.','Weather Wars?','','publish','open','closed','','weather-wars','','','2005-09-23 18:52:31','2005-09-23 18:52:31','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=151',0,'post','',0),(152,2,'2005-09-25 09:50:38','2005-09-25 09:50:38','Tim Chapman\'s <i>Haunts of the Halifax Slasher</i> is referenced by Liverpudlian curate John Davies in his blog <a href=\"http://www.johndavies.org/2005/09/mass-hysteria-domestic-theme.html\" target=\"new\">notes from a small curate</a>\n\nExcellent walk through the town of Halifax in the latest edition of quirky journal Strange Attractor.

During this fortnight in Halifax, \'women were cut with razors; right-thinking men patrolled the streets; bystanders who looked a bit odd were beaten up\'.\n\nThe only difference between Jack the Ripper, the Yorkshire Ripper and the Halifax Slasher was that in Halifax the incidents were largely proven to be false, the self-inflicted wounds of fearful or attention-seeking individuals at a time of mass-panic. \'In 1979, as in 1888, it was real - all too bloody real.

Muslin-wrapped mourners carry the dead up a leafy hill to a temple, conducting an ancient ceremony in modern Mumbai. They reach the Towers of Silence and the bodies are laid on slabs of marble to be devoured by vultures and bleached by the searing heat of the sun. For Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest mass religions in the world, bodies left in this manner will see their soul join the spiritual world.\n\nThe trouble is the vultures of Mumbai are dying out. Their numbers have been decimated by cattle carcasses contaminated with an anti-inflammatory drug widely used in south Asia.\nTo dispose of the dead a group of Parsis, the ethnic group that practises Zoroastrianism, are using solar panels and lenses like a magnifying glass to penetrate bodies and aid decomposition.

These problems include serious damage to our agricultural infrastructure, global climate change and the reorganization of living places into unsustainable suburbs and cities. Now cheap oil is disappearing fast, leaving only the problems behind.\n\nWhat sets The Long Emergency apart from numerous other books on this theme is its comprehensive sweep—its powerful integration of science, technology, economics, finance, international politics and social change—along with a fascinating attempt to peer into a chaotic future. And Kunstler is such a compelling, fast-paced and sometimes eloquent writer that the book is hard to put down.\n\nBeginning with the story of Edwin L. Drake, who drilled the world\'s first oil well in northwestern Pennsylvania in August 1859, Kunstler takes us through the development of the global oil-based economy of the 20th and early 21st centuries. He carefully traces the origins of the idea, first proposed by geologist M. King Hubbert, that oil consumption by modern industrial society will draw down current and potential supplies in a predictable way. Hubbert\'s 1956 prediction of the date of \"peak oil\" production in the United States (which he put at sometime between 1966 and 1972) was strikingly accurate—the peak occurred in 1970. After Hubbert\'s death in 1989, the distinguished petroleum geologists Colin Campbell and Jean Laherrère, Princeton geologist Kenneth Deffeyes, University of Colorado physicist Albert Bartlett and others adapted his model and applied it to global oil production, yielding a prediction that the global peak would occur between 2000 and 2010.\n\nContinues over at: <a href=\"http://www.americanscientist.org/template/BookReviewTypeDetail/assetid/45924\" target=\"new\" >American Scientist</a>.\n\nThanks to <a href=\"http://www.dreamflesh.org\" >Gyrus</a> for this one.','The End is Nigh','','publish','open','closed','','the-end-is-nigh','','','2005-10-06 21:17:09','2005-10-06 21:17:09','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=156',0,'post','',0),(157,2,'2005-10-07 10:27:06','2005-10-07 10:27:06','<img src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/jgbconv.jpg\" width=\"182\" height=\"255\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"8\" />\n\nSAJ2 contributor <a href=\"http://www.2ubh.com\" target=\"new\" >Tim Chapman</a> has contributed some excellent photographs to the new <a href=\"http://www.researchpubs.com/\" target=\"new\" >Re/Search</a> anthology, <i>JG Ballard Conversations</i>, a fine collection of interviews with the author by the likes of V Vale, Mark Pauline and Graeme Revell.\n<!--more-->\nIt\'s a finely produced book in a new handbag – or manbag – size, and certainly one that any Ballard obsessive, and you know who you are, will want to own. Ballard comes across as a warm, private man and a highly prescient writer: recent news images of 100-mile traffic jams outside Houston as people fled hurricane Rita, or passengers on a flaming jetliner witnessing their predicament unravelling live on televisions inside their own aircraft, appear to have come straight out of his fiction. This is, for me, where the Ballard Paradox comes into play: his futures share so much with our present, that they can now feel a little old-fashioned, making even his earlier writing seem increasingly less like science fiction as time marches on.\n\nThe interviews date from 1983 to 2004, during which time Ballard\'s opinions and obsessions – power, celebrity, media domination, war, politics and the future (and what else is there?) – have remained fairly constant in a changing world, perhaps because he was already into his 50s when the first interviews took place.  Our man in Shepperton reveals a solid grasp of the broad sweep of both historical and contemporary geopolitical affairs, as well as the human, and inhuman condition. On a more personal note you\'ll find insights into the origins of <i> Crash</i>, <i> The Atrocity Exhibition</i>, Ballard\'s childhood experiences in a Japanese POW camp (the basis for <i> Empire pf the Sun</i>, his experience of success and Hollywood following Steven Spielberg\'s film of that \"breakthrough\" book. And he likes cats. A lot. It\'s also interesting to discover that while Ballard has always been something of a respected, almost canonical, late 20th century author in the UK, his earlier books were difficult to obtain for American readers, where he has developed a cult following akin to that of William S Burroughs, largley thanks to the work of Re/Search. While not a Ballardophile myself, reading these interviews has driven me to dig out some of his short story collections, so the programme works.\n\nFind a copy via <a href=\"http://www.researchpubs.com/\" target=\"new\" >Re/Search</a>,  or <a href=\"http://www.ballardian.com/\" target=\"new\" >The Ballardian</a> or at the usual bookshops.\n\n--> MOP <---','Ballard Conversations','','publish','open','closed','','ballard-conversations','','','2005-10-07 10:27:06','2005-10-07 10:27:06','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=157',0,'post','',0),(158,2,'2005-10-08 11:06:24','2005-10-08 11:06:24','<a href=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/drones9flyer.png\"><img alt=\"drones9flyer.png\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/drones9flyer-thumb.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"431\" /></a>','The Return of Raagnagrok','','publish','open','closed','','the-return-of-raagnagrok','','','2005-10-08 11:06:24','2005-10-08 11:06:24','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=158',0,'post','',0),(159,2,'2005-10-09 09:39:44','2005-10-09 09:39:44','<a href=\"http://www.1st-ave-machine.com/video/anime.htm\" target=\"new\"><img alt=\"plantwitheyes.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/plantwitheyes.jpg\" width=\"292\" height=\"226\"></a>\n\nThis has been around the blogosphere the past few days now, but I put it up here because it\'s\n<a href=\"http://www.1st-ave-machine.com/video/anime.htm\" target=\"new\">one of the most startling things I\'ve seen for some time</a>.\n\nSeems very inspired by the artist <a href=\"http://www.jimwoodring.com\" target=\"new\" >Jim Woodring</a>, which can only be a good thing!\n\nThanks to <a href=\"http://www.blather.net\" target=\"new\" >Dave Walsh</a>','The Secret Life of Plants','','publish','open','closed','','the-secret-life-of-plants','','','2005-10-09 09:39:44','2005-10-09 09:39:44','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=159',0,'post','',0),(160,2,'2005-10-10 11:01:57','2005-10-10 11:01:57','Why do Bush\'s speeches feel *so* good?

This is the theme of 91-year-old Californian telescope maker John Dobson\'s talk. There\'s also my frustration, as a non-musician, trying to make music and use a new piece of music software. I used only my first takes for the musical parts. I suppose it\'s also about mankind\'s frustration at getting established in space, we\'re fumbling, like me on the keyboard.

In 2004, the white transit van leading the procession was equipped with an FM transmitter locked to 104.4 FM. I DJ’d non-stop in the back of the van throughout the trip.

The book is a collective portrait of initiation, a practical grimoire for engaging with the psychic and occult undercurrents of the world, and a template for an emergent shamanic Ultraculture.\n\nGeneration Hex assembles some of the brightest magical talents of the current youth generation, who ask not only what magic is and what place it holds in the Twenty-First Century, but also how it feels to engage with magic. \n\n\"Explodes with the energy and enthusiasm of its contributors.

All attempts to camouflage ships at sea had failed, as the appearance of the sea and sky are always changing. Any color scheme that was concealing in one situation was conspicuous in others. A British artist and naval officer, Norman Wilkinson, promoted a new camouflage scheme that was derived from the artistic fashions of the time, particularly cubism. Instead of trying to conceal the ship, it simply broke up its lines and made it more difficult for the U-boat captain to determine the ship\'s course. The British called this camouflage scheme \"Dazzle Painting.\" The Americans called it \"Razzle Dazzle.\"\n\nFull story over at <a href=\"http://www.gotouring.com/razzledazzle/articles/dazzle.html\" target=\"new\" >Go Touring</a>\n\nPlucked from <a href=\"http://boingboing.net/\" target=\"new\" >Boing Boing</a>','Futurist war machines','','publish','open','closed','','futurist-war-machines','','','2005-11-03 10:48:22','2005-11-03 10:48:22','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=175',0,'post','',0),(176,2,'2005-11-03 10:57:14','2005-11-03 10:57:14','<img alt=\"melissa.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/melissa.jpg\" width=\"245\" height=\"207\" />\n\n\"I understand how Travis Bickle could be pushed to shave his head and commit murder after driving a cab for too long.

The fishing boats in the region observed it. It is happening since the last year’s devastating Tsunami.\n\nScientists believe, it is either a new military super weapon – a next generation stealth super-sub or a new type of advanced extraterrestrial UFO that can penetrate oceanic crust.\n<!--more-->\nAccording to scientists, the burst of electromagnetic waves and strange sound provide some clues. The propagation, navigation, stealth and communication are all controlled by electromagnetic waves of unknown spectrum. The sound characteristic is strange. Any technologically advanced entity at that level is able to provide sound shields to suppress these sounds. These sounds may be coming from electron beaming to penetrate the oceanic crusts to build bases. It can also be caused by slow shifting of oceanic crusts.\n\nAndaman is extremely active seismically. This started in July of last year exactly six months before the devastating Tsunami.\n\nWhen these strange underwater sound and a burst of electromagnetic waves are experienced, no seismic tremors are recorded. No correlation between small earthquakes and this strange phenomenon can be recognized. However, computational models exploring numerical analysis of the stress at the plate levels are showing some clues. There is a harmonic progression observed in the level of stresses observed in the crust levels.\n\nAccording to scientists, if it is true that the extraterrestrials caused the Tsunami of the last year, it was an accident and they have perfected their technologies not to repeat the same.

But with the recent explosion in popularity of mobile phones and other personal electronic gadgets, people now see them as extensions of themselves that will follow them to the grave. \"I\'ve seen it a few times. I\'ve seen people buried with all kinds of things, even a pager,\" he said.\n\nKeith Massey, another Dublin funeral director said he had also noticed the trend, especially among young people.\n\n\"Some people, especially young girls, live their lives by their mobiles and feel it\'s part of them,\" he said.\n\n\"Some other people may be terrified they\'ll wake up in the coffin, so they take along a mobile to ring for help to get them out,\" he said. However, certain rules would apply, including making sure the mobile is switched off or on silent before it accompanies the deceased.\n\nThe trend away from strictly religious ceremonials at funerals in favour of a more personal and relaxed approach is also making the practice of being buried with unusual items more acceptable, Mr Griffin added.\n\n\"It has opened up and people aren\'t afraid to express their loved one\'s wishes.\"','Stay in touch... forever','','publish','open','closed','','stay-in-touch-forever','','','2005-11-09 10:24:24','2005-11-09 10:24:24','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=181',0,'post','',0),(182,2,'2005-11-09 10:45:35','2005-11-09 10:45:35','<img alt=\"poulomi.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/poulomi.jpg\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" />\n\nOn Saturday 12 November, <a href=\"http://www.iotacism.com/rgk/\" target=\"new\">Raagnagrok</a> will be performing at the opening of Red Threads, a new exhibition of photographs by Poulomi Desai.\n\n<i>The images.., look at first sight like portraits of glamorous young Asian women and respectable older ladies.

We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government\'s invasive abilities. We theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.\"\n\nRead the <a href=\"http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/\" target=\"new\">full report</a>\n\nvia <a href=\"http://www.badscience.net\" target=\"new\">Dr Ben</a>','Tinfoil Helmets: A Safety Warning','','publish','open','closed','','tinfoil-helmets-a-safety-warning','','','2005-11-11 14:23:26','2005-11-11 14:23:26','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=183',0,'post','',0),(184,2,'2005-11-14 10:47:53','2005-11-14 10:47:53','<img alt=\"galdrbok.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/galdrbok.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"190\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"4\" /> <i>Galdrbok: Heathen Runecraft, Shamanism and Magic</i>\n<p>A talk from SAJ2 contributor Robert Wallis, and Nathan Johnson\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\nFriday, November 18\nAt <a href=\"http://www.treadwells-london.com/\" target=\"new\">Treadwells</a>, 34 Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 7PB\n7.15 for 7.30 pm start £5.00\n<p>\nThe speakers have worked experientially, based on historical texts, in what could be called heathen shamanism. The elements include scrying, galdr (magical chants or sung spells), and rune techniques (whispered secrets and magical letters). Their work explicitly focuses on inducing the altered states necessary to enter and explore the nine magical worlds of Yggdrasill - the World Tree. Tonight they will be discussing their experiences and the original texts that inspired them.\n\nTonight is the release launch of their book, <a href=\"http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0954960904/ref=ase_thedruidnetwo-21/203-3245781-7533540\" target=\"new\"><i>Galdrbok</i></a>, which means \'spell-book\'.

Robert and Nathan are founders of the Ulfhednr Heathen group in Hampshire.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nGaldrbok offers a complete system for accessing the nine otherworlds of the Northwest European shamanic world tree Yggdrasil. The initiatory system in Galdrbok is inspired by the spiritual legacy of Heathen Northwest European communities of the migration age. Galdrbok maps the altered conscious states which enable shamanic travel - by means of scrying (\'to descry\'/\'foresee\'/ crystal gaze), galdr (\'sung spells\'), runic mediation and other powerful techniques, you can enter ecstasy and \'walk between the worlds\' in the footsteps of Woden and Freyja, the Northern shamanic deities par excellence.\n\n<i>This is a remarkably intelligent, thoughtful and well-informed practical guide to the magic and spirituality of the Old North, in a form accessible to the present. It helps to confirm the Northern Tradition as one of the most scholarly and sophisticated in modern Paganism.</i> Prof Ronald Hutton, Author of The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles and Triumph of the Moon.','Galdrbok talk this week','','publish','open','closed','','galdrbok-talk-this-week','','','2005-11-14 10:47:53','2005-11-14 10:47:53','',0,'http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/?p=184',0,'post','',0),(185,2,'2005-11-14 12:01:52','2005-11-14 12:01:52','<img alt=\"pask.jpg\" src=\"http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/further/archives/pask.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" />\n\n<a href=\"http://www.andywebster.info/machinista_submission.html\" target=\"new\" >Tuning Pask\'s Ear</a>: The result of an ongoing collaboration between artist Andy Webster [Falmouth College of Arts] and scientist Jon Bird [Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics, University of Sussex]. The film depicts an attempt to tune a glass of water to a tone generated by an electrochemical system. The device emits a slowly varying pitch and the performer is seen attempting to modify the pitch of the glass by adding more or less water. The electrochemical system responds to sound by changing the pitch it emits. Therefore the performer’s attempts at tuning are futile, with any degree of harmony being short-lived.\n\nIt is inspired by \'Pask’s Ear\', a cybernetic device constructed by Gordon Pask in the 1950’s, and a film from 1970 by John Baldessari, who irreverently tuned wine glasses to music by John Cage.\n\nVia Richard Brown.\n\nUPDATE:\nUsman Haque has just sent in some useful links to more Pask related research.
