Celebrating Beltane: A Neo-Technomancy and Chaos Magick Perspective

Beltane, celebrated on May 1st, marks a pivotal point in the pagan calendar, symbolizing the peak of spring and the hint of summer on the horizon. This festival, rooted deeply in Celtic traditions, is rich with themes of fertility, fire, and renewal. It's a time when the veil between the natural and the supernatural feels particularly thin, making it ripe for magickal endeavors.

Historical Roots and Modern Interpretations

Traditionally, Beltane is a fire festival. Ancient Celts lit bonfires to honor the sun and encourage its growth in the coming months. This act of lighting fires was also symbolic of purification and protection. In the context of neo-technomancy—a blend of technological insights and magickal practices—these fires can be seen as a metaphor for sparking new innovations and transformations in the digital realm.

How Neo-Technomancers and Chaos Magicians Celebrate Beltane

Digital Fire Rituals: For the modern magick practitioner, the Beltane fire can be reimagined through the glow of our screens or the electricity coursing through our gadgets. This could involve creating digital artworks that incorporate fiery visuals or programming dynamic fire simulations that serve as focal points for meditation or ritual work.

Virtual Maypole Dancing: The maypole dance, a traditional part of Beltane known for its intricate weaving of ribbons around a pole, symbolizes the entwining of energies and the fertility of the earth. Neo-technomancers might recreate this dance in a digital environment, perhaps through a collaborative online platform where participants from around the world contribute to a virtual maypole, weaving together digital threads to create a communal art piece.

Energetic Device Blessings: Just as tools and personal items were often passed through the Beltane fires for blessings, technomancers might hold a ritual to cleanse and empower their electronic devices. This could involve using electromagnetic fields or specialized software designed to 'purify' and optimize the functionality of their gadgets, aligning them with the owner’s magickal and mundane needs.

Sigil Creation for Growth and Prosperity: The creation of digital sigils to harness the energy of Beltane is another powerful way for technomancers to blend magickal intent with their technological skills. These sigils, designed using graphic software, can be used as part of digital wallpaper, shared on social media, or even integrated into user interfaces, continuously radiating magickal energy.

Chaos Magick and the Spirit of Spontaneity: Aligning with chaos magick principles, Beltane is a perfect occasion for spontaneity. This might involve using algorithmic generators to make unexpected choices or to create random, yet meaningful, magickal symbols or spells.

The Broader Implications of a Technomantic Beltane

Celebrating Beltane in this contemporary magickal-technological hybrid manner not only honors its ancient origins but also reinterprets its significance for the digital age. It’s about integrating the primal energies of old with the innovative potentials of today—using technology not merely as a tool, but as an extension of the practitioner’s will.

As we stoke the fires of Beltane in our digital hearths, we are reminded that the essence of magick lies in transformation—whether of ourselves, our environments, or our societies. And in this transformative process, technology becomes our ally, helping to manifest our deepest desires into the physical and virtual worlds.

So, this Beltane, let’s ignite the old fires with new sparks. Let's celebrate with a spirit of innovation and a respect for tradition, blending the two into a unique expression of our time. Through these practices, Beltane becomes more than just a date on the calendar—it becomes a moment of personal and communal alchemy, a time when we can truly connect the dots between the magickal and the technological, and perhaps, transform the world one byte and one spell at a time.

Project title: "Leise-Park".

Project description: We invite online artists to participate in our disturbing project entitled "Leise-Park". In this project, we want to explore the issue of silence as an opposition to the anxiety we may feel in the context of the development of various digital trends and Internet technologies. The pervasive availability of mobile devices for spreading content and ideas through all types of Internet-based media, creates a sense of loss of self-control resulting from the pervasive information chaos. Our beloved smartphones are beginning to turn us into a kind of zombie addicted to absorbing information content from the Internet. What consequences does this have for us as well as for further social evolution? Do the emotions that accompany us at this moment allow us to analyze this phenomenon. Can we face this new reality? Can artists help us understand what currently surrounds and shapes us. Can we find distance from the world around us and calm down, or will we become technological zombies? That's why in the “Leise-Park” project we want to ask this question to artists who are willing to take part in our project with their work. Like all our projects this one too is based on the idea of DIY and DIWO. We often think of the park as a place with sculptures, traditionally made of stone, here those sculptures are to be works displayed on the smartphones of the show's viewers. Access to the links via a poster with a QR code pasted on a cardboard presenter cut to resemble a plant plaque. Presenters with the artists' works will be placed at various locations in Leise-Park. The show will run from February 2 - 4, 2024 and is part of the Vorspiel project, which is an initiative of transmediale and CTM Festival to showcase the richness and diversity of Berlin. So we invite you, as part of our project, to a creative exploration of a former Berlin cemetery turned into a publicly accessible Leise-Park.

Projekttitel: "Leise-Park"

Projektbeschreibung: Wir laden Online-Künstler ein, sich an unserem beunruhigenden Projekt mit dem Titel "Leise-Park" zu beteiligen. In diesem Projekt wollen wir die Frage der Stille als Gegenpol zu der Angst erforschen, die wir im Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung verschiedener digitaler Trends und Internettechnologien empfinden können. Die allgegenwärtige Verfügbarkeit mobiler Geräte zur Verbreitung von Inhalten und Ideen über alle Arten von internetbasierten Medien führt zu einem Gefühl des Verlusts der Selbstkontrolle, das aus dem allgegenwärtigen Informationschaos resultiert. Unsere geliebten Smartphones verwandeln uns allmählich in eine Art Zombie, der süchtig nach der Aufnahme von Informationsinhalten aus dem Internet ist. Welche Folgen hat das für uns und für die weitere gesellschaftliche Entwicklung? Erlauben uns die Emotionen, die uns in diesem Moment begleiten, dieses Phänomen zu analysieren? Können wir uns dieser neuen Realität stellen? Können Künstler uns helfen zu verstehen, was uns derzeit umgibt und prägt? Können wir Abstand von der Welt um uns herum gewinnen und zur Ruhe kommen, oder werden wir zu technologischen Zombies? Deshalb wollen wir im Projekt „Leise-Park“ diese Frage an Künstlerinnen und Künstler stellen, die bereit sind, sich mit ihrer Arbeit an unserem Projekt zu beteiligen. Wie alle unsere Projekte basiert auch dieses auf der Idee von DIY und DIWO. Wir denken oft an den Park als einen Ort mit Skulpturen, traditionell aus Stein, hier sollen diese Skulpturen Werke sein, die auf den Smartphones der Betrachter der Ausstellung angezeigt werden. Der Zugang zu den Links erfolgt über ein Poster mit einem QR-Code, der auf einen Präsenter aus Pappe geklebt ist, der wie eine Pflanzenstecker aussieht. Die Präsenter mit den Werken der Künstler werden an verschiedenen Orten im Leise-Park aufgestellt. Die Ausstellung läuft vom 2. bis 4. Februar 2024 und ist Teil des Projekts Vorspiel, einer Initiative der transmediale und des CTM Festivals, um den Reichtum und die Vielfalt Berlins zu präsentieren. So laden wir Sie als Teil unseres Projekts zu einer kreativen Erkundung eines ehemaligen Berliner Friedhofs ein, der in einen öffentlich zugänglichen Leise-Park umgewandelt wurde.

BILLY ROISZ & JD ZAZIE DUO IN AUSTRIA

2024/03/15+21 JD ZAZIE / BILLY ROISZ Wien + Graz - AT

The Billy Roisz & JD Zazie duo started in 2014 thanks to the great ‘Depopulate’ festival held at NK Project Space in Berlin. Coming from a different background, Billy Roisz & JD Zazie developed in the years personal ways to express themselves in the field of noise music. Billy Roisz works mostly in the field of audio-video focusing on the links and gaps between visual and auditory perception, she questions the interaction between sound and image, the interchangeability or unity of the electromagnetic signal in the generating machines which creates image or sound. JD Zazie has explored over the years different approaches of real-time manipulation on fixed recorded sound. In her work she redefines DJ and electroacoustic activities and moves in an area which is constantly stretching the borders of what is supposed to be DJ mixing, free improvisation and composed music.

After a 7-year break, where each of them continued to develop their musical research, Billy Roisz and JD Zazie intend to revitalise the duo by meeting up in Austria for a micro tour. They will therefore play in Vienna at the Velak series and in Graz at !nterpenetration.

Personalized Healthcare: Biocompatible RFID chips monitor vital signs in real-time, enabling continuous health monitoring and personalized care.

Beyond Retail and Logistics:

The applications of RFID extend far beyond the commercial sphere. Libraries use it for automated book borrowing and tracking. Hospitals implant tiny RFID chips in patients for identification and medical record access. Livestock farmers track their animals for grazing patterns and health monitoring. Even high-security passports and access cards utilize RFID for enhanced security and verification.

Different Types, Different Needs:

RFID comes in various flavors, each with its strengths and limitations. Low-frequency (LF) tags are robust and have long read ranges but offer limited data storage. High-frequency (HF) tags pack more data and offer faster read speeds, making them ideal for retail and access control. Ultra-high-frequency (UHF) tags boast impressive read ranges, perfect for tracking assets across vast areas like warehouses or forests.

The Future of RFID:

Number.07: Pursue the Black 300

The Zonderians on another planet in the distant past had their own culture, but that all changed when their technology culminated in Zonder Metal, forcibly making them machine people. Creating pure Zonder Metal on earth is a serious challenge.

Polonaise created EI-08, a black shinkansen that appears night after night. Gai and Mamoru CME close to an it, but an electromagnetic field from it crashes GunDober and fried Gai's body, he only survived thanks to Mamoru's presence energising his G-Stone.

Mamoru and his friends discuss school holiday plans, while another bou stands alone.

Mamoru senses it again, and sneaks out, both his parents worry that some day Galeon will come and take Mamoru from them, Isamu saw on the news it sunk, but Ai recognises it as part of GaoGaiGar in the news.

The plan is to have the Vehicle Machines, while still affected by the the Mirror Coating, forcibly disrupt the field and then stop it with LinerGao, however EI-08 takes Zonder Robot form and the field returns.

After some rescue work as GaiGar fights, they split the Zonder Robo so an Eraser Head can destroy the field, so Hell and Heaven can get the core, revealed as a wanted Diet member.

Moving to Number.08, The Day the Sun Vanished.

2 years ago Galeon crash landed, bringing Gai down to earth clutching a G-Stone, it's systems were then replicated for Cyborg Guy and the Vehicle Robots to create the GS-Ride.

Pasdar is pleased with Pizza's latest Zonder, EI-09 is a large cloud covering all of Kanto, when it first appeared during a hot air balloon festival, all the balloons, including one with Takayasu and Hana aboard, were trapped inside.

Analysis eventually confirms a small opening in its barrier that GaiGar flies in, without risking an explosion. He dreams of events in 2003, talking to Mikoto about his test flight, but manages to remember what he is doing, taking her pendant, which he still has built into his chest. He merges into GaiGar and finds the core with all the balloons.

He contacts the base, and ChoRyuJin is deployed to Ikebukuro ready to use the Eraser Head L, while the remaining GaoMachines enter the cloud, followed by the Dividing Driver, and the Ultra Technology Laboratory takes position above the clouds.

GaoGaiGar creates and opening in the top, allowing the UTL to recover the balloons as they escape out, and compressing the Zonder, he uses Hell and Heaven to rip out the core, and the Eraser Head L disperses the cloud.

As Mamoru purifies the core, Gai is troubled by the site of 100s of daggers as he ripped the core free.

Number.09: Elementary Particles Z0.

EI-10 is a Zonder bike, causing devastation and accelerating traffic issues. As the Zonder is emitting Z0 particles, Entoji develops the Z-Sensor to track it down.

Hyuma organises an unauthorised sting, taking Ushi and Swan with him, but each of their suspected Zonders is tramples by EI-10, and as it goes to attack them they are saved by the Mobile Units arrival.

EI-10 returns to the site of the World Motorcycle Festival, where Hana is waiting with Ayame, and breaks in, absorbing all the bikes there and becoming a Zonder Robo.

GaoGaiGar swiftly breaks it apart, but it splits into multiple bikes that swarm his body.

Mamoru finds Hana unconscious, and is saved by a vehicle with no driver from rubble, who tells him to help Gai, leaving Hana next to Ayame. Using his powers, Mamoru senses the original bike, which HyoRyu traps with the Pencil Launcher, EnRyu Ryu blasts apart, and GaoGaiGar retrieves the core.

In the Main Order Room, they wonder why the Zonderians are now creating Zonder Robos that emit Z0, Dr. Leo speculating if they cover the world all mankind could become Zonders.

Continuing: Number.10: A World Devoid of Light.

Galeon brought the technology that is the basis for GGG's work, but who built him, who is Mamoru, and what is the Zonderian's goal?

Mamoru and Hana are chose to name new submarine Ryugu 9000, Gai and Mikoto are also there's as guests of the designer, Dr. Leo, as is Mamoru's class. Penchinon Zonderises a sailor jealous of the captain, who hijacks the Ryugu 9000 with Hana aboard, Mamoru jumps aboard as Gai is armouring up, but can't catch it, until being picked up by Intelligence Department member Volfogg, sat in shadow while Captaining the Submersible Multidimensional Intelligence Ship, which pursues until EI-11 absorbs a naval submarine, to avoid that happening, they await orders, while Mamoru holds Hana, as the vessel begins to be torn apart.

In an aside with Reiko, who admires Gai, Takayasu and Ushi, it turns out Ushi has been told more about GGG by his brother than he really should.

To both catch up and survive the pressure, GaoGaiGar is sent down in the Marine-1 until it breaks apart, then uses the Dividing Driver to resist the pressure to make the rest of the way to EI-11.

Unfortunately the Dividing Driver loses power while he is still fighting, and he starts desperately using Hell and Heaven.

On the surface, Hyuma, Mikoto and Leo are losing hope, right until ChoRyuJin suddenly starts pulling desperately, then Volfogg reports energy, then GaoGaiGar emerges holding the 3 humans, Mamoru using all his power to energise GaoGaiGar. As they celebrate, Volfogg wonders about Mamoru's power.

Number.11: The Gates of Isolde

Zonder Metal is still little understood, though it is suspected a perfected Zonder would spread Z0 across the whole world.

Dr. Leo and Swan go to the Isolde particle accelerator in Tomakomai, meeting Nozaki, head scientist, who seems interested in output over anything else. He is in fact already a Zonder, serving Pasdar directly, and uses Isolde to create Zonder Metal.

Leo and Swan are captured, and Volfogg notifies Entoji, and the Mobile Unit is mobilised to Hokkaido, where Mamoru once lived, he can sense this Zonder is unusual.

Isolde has 4 gates in the cardinal directions, each of the Mobile Unit infiltrates via one of these, while the last is infiltrates by Volfogg, who Mamoru is still unaware of. EnRyu is tormented by Primarda, HyoRyu by Polonaise, while Cyborg Guy meets Pizza, who physically engages him, only fleeing when Gai overpowers him using Hyper Mode. Penchinon on the other hand is completely blindsided by Volfogg.

GaiGar and the brothers meet up at the reactor, as Nozaki merges with it, making the whole of Isolde into EI-12, overwhelming their circuits until Volfogg damages the wiring, having already rescued the hostages.

They engage EI-12 directly, bringing it to the surface using the Dividing Driver, and then removing the core as per usual, as the purification is underway, Volfogg present Dr. Leo with a still intact Zonder Metal.

Number.12: Tomorrow. From the Zonder Metal sample, Dr. Leo has found it to be near identical to the G-Stone, this is why the Zonders have never absorbed their robots. The Amphibious Armoured Maintenance Vehicle has recovered the Mobile Unit, Dr. Leo notes Heaven and Hell is damaging to GaoGaiGar each time he uses it, and could wind up ripping Gai apart. Ai has won the family a trip to Okinawa. Gai and Volfogg go over the vessels to see which is best suited for a new weapon, concluding the Loading and Supply Assault Ship is best due to the specialisation of the others and fears a properly matured Zonder would launch Zonder Metal worldwide, wants Volfogg focused on protecting Mamoru, and both want to avoid Projectile X being used. Mamoru invites Hana on the trip, and they recall a promise made 3 years ago in Hokkaido, while the loner boy listens in. Penchinon is worried about GGG's robots, Pizza more by Gai and Mamoru. A test sees GaiGar equipped with StealthGao and DrillGao resist attacks from all the brothers ranged attacks, then in the battlefield ChoRyuJin immobilised GaoGaiGar's arms and uses Double Guns, Gai finds the strength to thrown them away. Primarda and Polonaise fear not Mamoru but the Legacy of Cain, Galeon. Ai fears if Galeon comes back he will take Mamoru from them. Dr. Leo finds that the G-Stone and Zonder Metal are anti-particles of eachother, with enough force when they meet, they will destroy the world.

Dear colleagues, This year's Ars Eletronica Festival 2022 will feature my multichannel acousmatic composition Pulsar (2022) as part of the flowing program MEDIUM SONORUM CONCERT. 10.9. 2022 Pulsar (2022) Hugo Paquete (PT) 10.9. 2022 | 12:48 Pulsar is a multichannel composition that investigates extraterrestrial sound and rhythmic noise radiation as a landscape of vast dynamic audio shapes found across the universe. Short bursts of granular dust and sequential emission are used to transition from chaos to regular music periodicity. This composition proposes a micro and macro sonic study of the concept of pulsars, which can only be seen in regions of the electromagnetic spectrum that are as obscure as powerful unknowns. This piece is a follow-up to the composition developed for Chris Ziegler’s multimedia dance performance Cosmos (2018), which was commissioned, partly developed, and performed at the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe. It integrates elements that generate sound and music by utilizing commercial and military satellites, which is established through a process of acquiring and converting real-time sonification of satellite movement data and merging it with midi-data language. It is used to operate musical instruments, both hardware and software. Its significance highlights the satellites’ autonomy as objectionable performers, reactants that make sonic material in an ecosystem of random movements and preset computational music laws. Where science and imagination collide in the realms of auditory perception. Symposium Theme In accordance with the festival theme There Is No Planet B, the Ars Electronica digital music focus at Anton Bruckner Private University will lend its ears to immersive sonic creation as an artistic field of research sonically reflecting our world. Convinced, or at least hopeful, that multichannel speaker environments are capable of more than simply providing virtual substitute surroundings to distract us from everyday life, we want to explore the roles multichannel audio can play in reflecting and furthering our understanding of our social, physical, and biological environment. We aim to bring together artists and researchers working in the field of multichannel audio to exchange ideas on how immersive audio can help people to understand, to hear more and to activate dissent rather than simply enabling ever more intricate aural pleasures, to be sold or rented out as “experiences.” https://ars.electronica.art/planetb/de/medium-sonorum-concert/?fbclid=IwAR3Dxtr-cNP8w2T8kaxYU6zBWpv4RvPRoih2A5GffL5caBy9ogPAaJxI2Oo

HEADCANONS REQUEST: ❝S/O with Railgun quirk.❞

[ Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia ] [ Characters: Midoriya Izuku, Bakugou Katsuki, Aizawa Shouta, Takami Keigo ]

「Headcanons of Midoriya, Bakugou, Aizawa and Hawks with S/O who has a Railgun quirk.」

MIDORIYA IZUKU

♤ Midoriya, oh this boy, here is a handful. He's all over you when he witnesses you using your quirk. There was one instance where Aizawa wanted to see everyone's special moves and all that. Boy was watching when you pulled out a small coin from your pocket and raised your right hand and flipped in into the air. You were focusing the currents to the palm of your hand and aiming at the walls of concrete that Cementoss had readied for you. When you propelled the coin using electromagnetic force, everyone was surprised that you had cut through the walls and the wall of the gym.

♤ Not a page but an entire notebook dedicated to you and you only. Often trains together with you just for the sake of seeing more of your quirk in action. The entire notebook has the full details of how your quirk works, your capabilities, and applications that you were capable of. He finds everything you do amazing, from creating lighting spears, summoning real lightning, creating powerful electromagnetic and a sword made of iron sand. And when you use your quirk for minute operations, it intrigues him.

♤ He finds it quite intimidating when your quirk goes off when you get a bit angry or surprised. Midoriya has witnessed you pissed when someone was messing with you during the joint training with another school. You unleashed your quirk out of anger and had Aizawa stepped in and scolding you for letting your anger get the best of you. He knows not to get on your bad side and anger you in any way.

♤ Trains occasionally with you because you're super strong and challenging. On your free time, you both would either work out together, do your homework together, or just relaxing in your room together. But as students from the Hero Course, it was more natural for the two of you to train with one another. Midoriya provides great advice and has a lot of ideas for you to improve your quirk and all that. Even when he gets his ass handed to you during training, he's still praising you for your abilities.

BAKUGOU KATSUKI

☆ You bet this guy falls in love because you whooped his ass in training. To say that you had a similar quirk like Kaminari was a great mistake. Bakugou blatantly pointed out that your quirk was much stronger than the other electric quirked user — which earned a whine from the blonde male who was comforted by Kirishima who knows how it feels like. Honestly, he thinks that it's kinda hot how you're able to defeat him with ease and assert your dominance by saying that he should challenge you when he's much stronger.

☆ Calls you “Biribiri” as a nickname and just annoy you. He thinks your quirk is super strong and the fact that you have such control over it amazes him even more. Different from Kaminari who seems to have almost no control with his quirk and gets his brain fried whenever he exceeds his own limits, you were capable of discharging a maximum output of 1 billion volts. That aside, you have the ability to observe and manipulate electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields.

☆ Bakugou finds you a worthy sparring opponent. Your quirk was a strong one due to its large output and a vast range of applications. Not only that but he's actually very fucking proud of you at the Sports Festival because you were able to beat the shit out of your opponents so easily. He might not be the type to compliment you directly but behind your back, he's boasting. This guy tells everyone that you're a fucking badass, super strong, and to top it all off, you were cute, pretty, and all his.

☆ There was one time where you accidentally walked into his room while he was in the middle of changing. You were so surprised that your quirk went off which resulted in a blackout in the entire city. Bakugou finds it really funny until this very day and teases you about it whenever the two of you are alone. But Aizawa isn't amused because he had to explain the situation to the principal and apologize to the workers in the electric company on your behalf.

AIZAWA SHOUTA

♡ Aizawa never judges anyone based on quirks but he can't say that he wasn't surprised when he first saw you using your quirk. This guy doesn't show that he's amazed at all though, he keeps his usual stoic demeanor in front of you as if he was trying to maintain his image in front of you. Behind the scenes, he's super proud of you and tells everyone that you're the fucking best out there. Of course, you don't know any of this because he never says it out loud.

♡ Your powers were very dangerous but with your abilities and the way you utilize it in battle, makes him relieved to have you as a partner. Aizawa observes you more than a normal person would and you noticed that a bit later into the relationship with him. He was an observant kind of guy to begin with, he pays attention to all his students which proves that he's a person who analyses. This guy knows every single little thing about your quirk but he keeps it to himself.

♡ He's quite nurturing and loves to see you improve day by day. Aizawa may not look like the type be in a relationship and people have rarely seen him with a girl before. However, in reality, he's very attentive and involved in his role as your boyfriend. This guy knows everything about you. He trains with you quite often, mostly on hand-to-hand combat and occasionally refining your quirks.

♡ His favorite past time is just sitting around in his apartment with you and doing nothing at all. Aizawa is constantly swamped with work, whether it was grading papers or evaluating his students performance training, preparing new training assignments for students, and whatnot. The guy likes a break from all those things and just relax but if you convince him to train with you, he will oblige. After all, he has front row seats to watching you train your quirk.

HAWKS (TAKAMI KEIGO)

♧ This guy, despite not looking like it, he's quite intrigued by your quirk. Hawks isn't the type to judge someone by their quirk to begin with. However, with a flashy quirk like yours, he unconsciously associates you with your quirk. These things include giving your nicknames relevant to your quirk or making puns related to your quirk. Though it was endearing and funny at first, it didn't take long for you to lightly hit him whenever he cracks a stupid pun in your presence.

♧ Training isn't that common for Hawks and it was usually just him keeping his body in shape. On the other hand, you would train your quirk. He enjoys watching you train, it was an opportunity to admire your abilities and throw in some compliments casually. Speaking of compliments, this guy never seems to get flustered when he's making stupid puns and cheesy compliments. He's just super proud of what you can do.

♧ The person who relies on your quirk for small things just for the sake of annoying you. Of course, just harmless little things like making you use your quirk to turn on the television when he can't find the remote. Hawks find it amusing that your quirk is capable of hacking things, like electronic locks, computers, and anything that is digital or electronic. Once he asks you if you could automatically respond to the emails from his annoyingly strict secretary, you end up telling him not to be such a child.

♧ He knows what you're capable of doing in combat and he knows not to mess with you because you're able to destroy him effortlessly. But he can't help but think that you actually look cute when you're a bit mad. Those tiny, non-harmless sparks of electricity the forms on your cheeks and hair when you're slightly irritated at something was just super cute to him. Hawks loves to poke your cheek and mutter how cute you are when you're angry which often results in you threatening to bit his finger him and zap him with a million volts.

𝑀𝐸𝒟𝐼𝒜 𝐿𝐼𝒯𝐸𝑅𝒜𝒞𝒴

By: Bajunaid, Farheen M.

What is MEDIA?

MEDIA explains the different modes of communication that we use in society. Because it encompasses all forms of communication, media can include everything from a phone conversation to the nightly news on television. The plural of medium, media, refers to the communication channels via which we transmit information such as news, music, entertainment, education, promotional messages, and other data.

The European Film Import

Carlo Naquera, a Spanish soldier, was responsible for bringing cinema to the Philippines. He's taken a cinematographe, a gadget created by the Lumiere brothers, with him. In addition, he took numerous Spanish films to the Philippines in 1897 and exhibited them to the Filipinos. After all of the films had been broadcast, he decided to film Filipinos going about their daily lives. Filipinos who saw these films were blown away by them and fell in love with this new kind of media. During the early 1990s, once the Spanish had departed the nation and the Americans had taken their place, they began showing American films in areas like Escolta and Intramuros. Over time, Filipinos have learnt to use and make films similar to those shown to them by earlier colonists, culminating in Jose Nepomuceno's "Dalagang Bukid," the first Filipino-produced film. The film was a film version of Hermogenes Ilagan's theatrical drama. As a result, Jose Nepomuceno has been dubbed the "Father of Philippine Cinema" ever since. Filipinos have utilized cinema in a variety of ways over time, including as a form of protest during the Marcos era, and film is still appreciated by residents today, thanks to locally organized film festivals and contests.

The Broadcast Industry

the one-to-many distribution of audio or video material to a dispersed audience using any electronic mass communications medium, but most commonly one that employs the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves). AM radio was the first kind of broadcasting, and it became popular about 1920 as a result of the widespread availability of vacuum tube radio transmitters and receivers.

Prior to the invention of the telegraph, all forms of electrical communication (early radio, telephone, and telegraph) were one-to-one, with messages meant for a single receiver. Its usage as an agricultural practice of dispersing seeds across a field gave it the name "broadcasting." Later on, it was used to characterize the common.

Local Online Media

As a result, local communities have evolved; nowadays, when we connect on a local level, our experiences are becoming more specialized, customized, and based on common passions or circumstances.

This is allowing a slew of new services to enter the sector of local media, and there is a considerable increase in hyper-local media options that are tailored to meet these new demands. They are more defined, relevant, and shareable than anything that has come before by effectively harnessing community knowledge and data.

While hyper-local media has jumped into the news providing sector with zeal – the Brixton Blog's success is a fantastic illustration of how this area may be reimagined — thinking about it only in this way is inaccurate. Instead, it takes the form of technology, gaming, mapping, or mobile solutions, all of which are given at a local level and are tied together by knowledge, experience, and relevance to a specific community. The Hackney Hear, for example, is a Hackney-themed GPS-triggered audio app. Similarly, City Maps creates customised maps based on people's passions, such as cuisine or nightlife, with information provided by people who live in the region.

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕾𝖙𝖆𝖙𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝕸𝖊𝖉𝖎𝖆 𝕿𝖔𝖉𝖆𝖞

For some, the status of the media today is a matter of opinion, but a new Vocus research paints a picture of continued decline. The status of the media, particularly in the conventional media industry, is bleak. The continuous loss of employment in television, radio, and print media provides a bleak picture of the aging industries' need to evolve. However, the online media industry is frequently regarded as a beacon of hope, with proponents portraying the digital wave as a lifeline for traditional media consumption. The argument around traditional versus new media has been going on for a few years now–consumer demands are moving a great deal of activity to digital formats, giving options for instant gratification when it comes to when, where and how we enjoy our media content. The result is a startling continuation of what traditional media has anticipated for a while now. Vocus’ report shows a slowing industry that’s undergoing a major transition right now. 293 newspapers have folded in the past year, with nearly 100 of those being shut down in the first quarter of 2009. 600 staffers found themselves without a job across top publications. The radio industry found itself in an even tougher situation, with 10,000 jobs lost. Over 100 television stations across the U.S. went bankrupt, largely affected by their parent companies filing Chapter 11. The domino affect this had had on the media industry has pushed a great deal more professionals into the online sector, with Internet-based publications taking the helm towards new ways of thinking. Those displaced employees of various publications and stations have found themselves shifting to a new industry all together or taking up the profession of blogging and similar jobs in order to remain in their familiar line of work.

This paper examines the evolution and transformation of the concept of globalization to glocalization. The paper will also trace the history and the development of the concept of "glocalization", which originated in Japan as a popular business strategy. The paper examine in broad terms concepts, theories and principles of glocalization in business perspectives. The paper wants to focus on the epistemological analysis of the globalization and glocalization themes. In Economic Sciences, it is often difficult to trace the origin of concepts: these concepts are often products of collective endeavors. Inside these processes, from the "post-globalization era", a new ethical feeling is born to measure the corporate performances that are business, social and ethical performances: these processes will require new accounting instruments and new accounting professional profiles. The article also provides a discussion on the importance of well-defined concepts and approaches used by scholars and by practitioners in various contexts. It is troublesome when the use of a concept or an approach is ambiguous and confusing. The discussion focuses on and demonstrates through, the globalization of business activities and the term 'global strategy'. The widespread use of popular jargon cannot cover the fact that a genuine or true global strategy approach appears to be a managerial viewpoint. The terms "glocal strategy" and the 'glocalization' of business activities are introduced to enhance the accuracy of the present usage by scholars and by practitioners of the term global strategy and the phenomenon often described as the globalization of business activities.

The Local Landscape

The Philippine media landscape is full of contradictions. On one hand, it joins the global trend of technological disruptions ushering changes in the media economy, profession, and consumption. On the other hand, persistent socio-economic inequalities and the urban/rural gap limit the potential of these disruptions.

The recent – and alarming developments – make it imperative to take another look at the Philippine media landscape. The first half of 2020 has seen brazen state maneuvers inimical to media freedom, some of which were even done as the country struggles amid the coronavirus crisis. The head of the state himself, President Rodrigo Duterte, continued to make well-publicized threats and hurl insults against media outfits, which he has been doing since 2016 . Several journalists and media companies, known for their critical reportage, are now facing charges filed by high-profile state functionaries and government agencies. In the middle of the longest lockdown in the world, one of the biggest media companies, ABS-CBN, was forced to go off air (The last time the station was shut down was when Philippines was placed under martial law in the 1970s). Furthermore, Duterte signed a new anti-terror law that critics fear will further erode freedom of speech , despite information and criticism being necessary in this time of the pandemic. For many the Philippine case is another narrative about a strongman-led regime exploiting the pandemic crisis to consolidate power .

To make matters worse, overall trust in mainstream news has fallen significantly, as the public trust rating of Duterte, described as a ‘populist’ leader, remains high . In fact, Philippines is among the countries with the lowest trust levels in the sample of 40 countries surveyed in the latest Digital News Report (see Newman, Fletcher, Schulz, Andi, and Nielsen, 2020). Social media is also teeming with posts trying to delegitimize mainstream media and alternative media as sources of information. Especially among the mainstream media, there are cases in which commercial interests take precedence as evidenced by reporting slant, and some state functionaries and pro-state online influencers were quick to use this as a justification for vilifying the media.

Media Ownership

Media ownership is of importance in journalism research because it is based on the assumption that ownership has an influence on the content and practices of journalism. State control, family ownership, political party ownership, trust ownership, and public or corporate ownership are all examples of news media ownership. Market concentration and monopolization, as well as the unintended implications for media diversity, public opinion formation, democracy, and journalistic autonomy, are the primary concerns in journalism study.

Throughout the study, various financial and political benefits of owning journalistic media have been suggested as justifications for ownership. Benevolence is an uncommon occurrence. as the problematic aspects of ownership are discussed from both a managerial and a critical political economy standpoint. Commercialism and market realities, as well as the economic interests of owners, are commonly regarded as jeopardizing the quality of news and journalism. The various forms and shapes of news media ownership, on the other hand, have different effects on rivalry between outlets, editorial production organizations, journalistic and professional cultures, and the severity of corporate and profit-maximizing ideologies that journalists labor under. Ownership, on the other hand, may take many different forms depending on the situation.

𝔐𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔪 𝔐𝔢𝔡𝔦𝔞

Mainstream media (MSM) is a word and shorthand for the numerous significant mass news media outlets that impact many people and both reflect and form dominant currents of thinking. The word is used to contrast traditional media with alternative media. The word is frequently used to refer to huge news conglomerates, such as newspapers and television media, that have undergone successive mergers in numerous nations. Concerns have been made about the uniformity of opinions given to news consumers as a result of the concentration of media ownership. As a result, when discussing the mass media and media bias, the phrase "mainstream media" has been used in conversation and on the blogosphere, sometimes in an adversarial, derogatory, or contemptuous manner.

𝓐𝓵𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓷𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓘𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓹𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓽 𝓜𝓮𝓭𝓲𝓪

Alternative media are media sources that differ from established or dominant kinds of media in terms of content, production, or distribution (such as mainstream media or mass media). The term "independent media" is frequently used interchangeably with "independence from large media corporations," but it may also apply to media that has press freedom and is not influenced by the government. Television, newspapers, and Internet-based publications all fall under the category of independent media, which is defined as any type of media that is not controlled by government or corporate interests. The term can be applied to a wide range of situations. In the United States and other developed nations, it is commonly used interchangeably with alternative media to refer to media that differs from mainstream media.

Community Media

Community media are any forms of media that serve or are produced for the benefit of a community. It is the rise of various alternative, oppositional, participatory, and collaborative media practices that have emerged in the journalistic context of 'community media,' 'we media,' 'citizens media,' 'grassroot journalism,' or any radical alternative to on and offline mainstream journalistic practices. Having access to or producing local alternatives to mainstream broadcasting, such as local community newspapers, radio stations, or magazines, is what it is all about.

𝔖𝔱𝔞𝔱𝔢 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔒𝔴𝔫𝔢𝔡 𝔐𝔢𝔡𝔦𝔞

State media, often known as state-controlled media or state-owned media, is mass communication medium that is directly or indirectly under the financial and editorial authority of a country's government. These news outlets may be the sole source of information or they may compete with corporate and non-corporate media. State media should not be confused with public broadcasting or public sector media (state-financed), which are both sponsored directly or indirectly by the state or government but have no editorial control over.

What is your opinion regarding the closure of ABS-CBN? Do you agree or disagree with the congress decision? Explain your answer.

I agree with the congress decision regarding the closure of ABS- CBN because they are abusing and manipulating us with their power. They should be close because they are not paying taxes and it is unfair for other people who pay their taxes. In my opinion they deserve it because they are just trying to be good and act good in-front of the camera when the truth is they have many issues and history behind their entertainment. I also heard that they do not pay their stuffs and workers and it is so unfair when they are so rich and they have many fans also the artist in ABS-CBN are known. I agree with the closure of the congress because they deserve it and they need to pay for the consequences of what they did behind all the cameras.

One Piece Wano Theory - The Fall of Onigashima

Spoilers for Manga Chapters leading up to and including c997

So yeah, that happened Not content with just throwing his weight around in beating 8 Scabbards at once, Kaido decided to up his power play by LIFTING THE WHOLE DAMN ISLAND which he’s gonna then carry across this storming sea, to the Flower Capital - which is in the midst of the Fire Festival and completely unaware that this raid is taking place - which he likely will drop on top of the Flower Capital with the people below: destroying its aristocracy, a large chunk of rebels and leaving the weak and weakened at the mercy of Kaido’s (and Big Mom’s) military might.

So now we have more stakes to deal with, 2 stakes primarily:

Stake 1 - Defeat Kaido before Onigashima leaves the ocean, allowing the island to fall before it damages any populated area in Wano Stake 2 - Prevent Onigashima from falling on the Flower Capital, but at the same time defeat Kaido Obviously, neither are easy, but 2 is much more difficult than 1 to achieve, which means that Stake 2 will almost certainly come to fold, so the question is this: How does the Alliance STOP Onigashima from Falling?

No easy feat, but maybe this is a place for other Straw Hats and side characters to shine. So far I have 7 possibilities linked to who could help save Wano from ‘New Onigashima’.

Option 1 - Gods, Titans and Homies

Option 1 considers the idea of what, or better yet who, can amass to such a size to cushion Onigashima, and the first answer that comes to mind is Prometheus and Zeus. We’ve already seen Zeus and Prometheus grow to incredible sizes in Whole Cake Island and they both are able to carry Big Mom with ease, so who knows how much weight they can carry at that size. Zeus is probably the easier bet for cushioning Onigashima since Prometheus would burn everything too, allowing Zeus to be the pivotal character also allows it to go two ways, either Nami reclaims Zeus from Big Mom in some manner - which will likely lead to BM’s defeat - or Big Mom turns on Kaido and works with Nami to help. This allows Nami to show the strength of her Clima Tact, being able to strengthen Zeus beyond Big Mom’s own capabilities.

Option 2 - The Last Gift of the Minks

Currently the Minks are completely weakened by fighting Kaido, despite their Su Long form they have been left with a stalemate, however the Minks do have a disadvantage: if they turn off Su Long they are out for a considerably long time, too long to return to the fight, but if they don’t turn off Su Long they will die from exhaustion. Unfortunately I am convinced that many Minks will fight to the death, including at least one of the leaders, but there is a more valiant way they could go out, and it’s a power all minks had which is overlooked: Electro. Electro is born from every mink, the ability to produce electricity which is further empowered in Su Long, but when Carrot fought Big Mom’s fleet she was able to somewhat float off the ground, and that is what can help Onigashima float. If enough Su Long Minks surround the bottom of Onigashima, they could provide an electromagnetic field that can keep the island from even touching the surface below, pure static electricity as the Minks give every ounce of their life to save Wano.

Option 3 - Rise of the Kozuki Dragon

Momonosuke has an artificial Devil Fruit of a Dragon, one where he too is able to produce these clouds to float. The problem however, is that he doesn’t know how to use them, Momonosuke has been so busy training his human form that he’s never considered the benefits of a dragon form. Of course, this means Momonosuke cannot do this alone, but fortunately he’s got people who can help; Yamato has extensive knowledge of how the clouds work, Nami has weather magic, Shinobu’s ‘maturing’ theories could help strengthen Momo’s dragon powers or even his own age and experience and, should she turn on Kaido, Big Mom could imbue the clouds with souls to make them Homies, not only being able to funnel more power but give more sentient intent to the clouds themselves, she could even enthrall Kaido’s clouds this way.

Option 4 - Combined Might and Monsters

While we expect at the least Luffy and Zoro to have a crack at Kaido in the final fight, and hopefully more if not all the Straw Hats, there becomes a matter of what others can do to stop Onigashima from falling. We’ve seen Nami’s potential with Zeus but others can also combine in strength. First is Robin, her Gigantesco Manos or even a Spider’s Web could help resist the fall, but of course even she cannot carry that much weight. This is where Chopper’s Monster Point and Franky’s Iron Pirate can also assist with their raw strength, and this is where Usopp can also shine. Usopp’s weaponry appear to involve plants now thanks to his pop-greens, but what if he could influence existing flora? One of the main pieces of the Flower Capital is a giant tree and if he could influence that he too could be able to contribute to pinning Onigashima above him. But it can go farther, Tama’s DF allows the opening to control the entire flying squadron, anyone Tama brought with her (remember she has something brewing in 3 minutes), Drake’s Allosaurus form, Hawkins’ giant Straw Demon, Jimbei can even call the giant Koi from the waterfall (though it may serve more to drag it back), Marco’s phoenix flames may also have influence on top of Apoo’s sound manipulation, Kid’s metal, even Law’s shambles could assist - since I don’t think he could make it big enough to cover all of Onigashima. There’s also the matter of Perospero’s candy if he survives to help and anyone else not revealed to have been present in Onigashima, the possibilities are wide and combined could hold up an island.

Option 5 - Outside Parties

By raising Onigashima from the ground, Oda wants to give us the perception that no other external forces can roll up to Onigashima and support for or against Kaido, but that could be a misdirect. Currently on the surface as far as we know, Big Mom’s remaining forces, Law’s remaining crew and any other samurai, prisoners, SMILE members Tama had taken control over and as far as we know Hiyori, Hitetsu, Onimaru and Caribou, maybe even the Mountain God(s) from the Oden flashback. But outside of who we know is in Wano could be others we didn’t expect to be there; Germa 66 for one may come to ‘repay’ Big Mom for her attempted assassination, reengaging Sanji with his estranged family - and Baeju...which holds bias in this hope - which could just send all the other North Blue boys in a frenzy. The other outside factor is the Marines, Drake may not have called for help but circumstances outside of Wano may call for it: the marines going for a Warlord we didn’t know about (We only knew about Weevil, Mihawk, Boa, Buggy and Kuma, meaning Law and Doffy’s replacements were unknown), if Fujitora also shows up then Onigashima is no problem to his Gravity DF, but it will snowball another conflict.

Option 6 - The Sky Ships

This is probably my most deep-cut part of the Onigashima theory. As much as Luffy has to defeat the Yonko, Wano will never be free unless they see it for themselves: Orochi dead, Kaido defeated, until that is something the people can even believe in, Wano can never truly escape that oppression. Which is why arriving at the Flower Capital during the Fire Festival may actually allow ‘Wano’ itself to help save the country and a key part of that is the Sky Ships. Oda made note of paying attention to it, and making sure that the Fire Festival is as big as ever because this is the 20 year prophecy, every person in the Flower Capital right now is as spirited as ever because they desperately are clinging to the idea of salvation, so what if Oda is actually giving them an opportunity? The Sky Ships alone may actually be imbued with the spirits, the will of those who died for Wano, in that way the spirits of Wano itself could prevent Wano from falling atop of them, the same way Skypeia’s golden bell was to reach Noland and Calgara. It may be simple as these mythic powers from Wano’s culture, but it could be ushered by someone else - Brook. In WCI Brook proved himself capable of suppressing souls of chess soldiers via his DF, able to harm homies via Soul Solid, so what if via his Soru Soru no Mi he would be able to temporarily raise the souls of Wano’s dead and empower them through the memory and belief of the people symbolized by the Sky Ships they would release into the sky.

Option 7 - All of the Above Outside of Luffy suddenly awakening his DF and making the island bounce off or a surprise Katakuri appearance, there aren’t many other options outside of the six detailed. But, why settle for only one option? Each of these options are feasible together as well as apart; Nami can empower Zeus and Momo’s clouds while Usopp, Robin, Jimbei, Chopper and Franky provide weight support as the Minks surround the island and Momo’s clouds with electro and raised by Brook’s soul-powered Sky Ships. A culmination of an absolutely bonkers scenario we’ve found ourselves in which can allow every Straw Hat a vital means of contribution but also allowing Wano and its citizens to have a large part in liberating its country from Kaido, Orochi and the Isolationist Regime Wano currently has.

Whether that comes to be remains to be seen, there are many pieces moving and as with this moment itself, it can go any manner of directions, we just have to wait for Oda to weave his magic.
