'WHO WAS J. Robert Oppenheimer? This is easy enough to answer: an American theoretical physicist, the “father of the atomic bomb,” an important architect of early US nuclear policy, and, ultimately, a victim of anti-communist fervor after he lost his security clearance in a well-publicized decision by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1954 and was excommunicated from the nuclear priesthood. Oppenheimer’s very public rise and fall, and his embodiment of various parables about dangerous knowledge (Faust, Prometheus, Icarus, etc.), have made his life one of the most scrutinized and publicized in the history of modern science. And yet, he is still universally described as inscrutable despite an extraordinary wealth of documentation: a voluminous FBI file; a security hearing that picked over his life with a microscope; and an archive of letters, memos, and recollections of both friends and enemies.

Some of Oppenheimer’s affect was clearly deliberate—he consciously played the role of a worldly, “brilliant” intellectual with broad-ranging interests and a rapid-firing mind. His close friend, the physicist I. I. Rabi, later told physicist and historian Jeremy Bernstein that “[Oppenheimer] lived a charade, and you went along with it.” The interest in Hindu philosophy and scripture, the Sanskrit, the cowboy-rancher, the poet, the flirtations with communism, the reading of Das Kapital in the original German—this was “Oppie,” a character invented by an insecure young man in the 1920s who struggled to be taken seriously by the luminaries he admired, and who felt a deep need to leave behind his cushy German Jewish upbringing on the Upper West Side.

That Oppenheimer himself played a role makes it especially fitting that his life has been adapted not only into a dozen or so full-length biographies but also in far more general histories of the atomic bomb and many prominent fictional portrayals in film, television, graphic novels, and one opera. (The best study of Oppenheimer’s use as a narrative figure is David K. Hecht’s 2015 book Storytelling and Science: Rewriting Oppenheimer in the Nuclear Age.) And while he has been subjected to the Hollywood treatment several times before, he has perhaps never been granted as much artistic treatment, nor quite such an enormous filming budget, as he has this summer with the debut of Oppenheimer, the latest film by Christopher Nolan.

Nolan wrote, directed, and produced Oppenheimer, explicitly basing it largely on the Pulitzer Prize–winning biography American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer (2005), written by Kai Bird and the late historian Martin J. Sherwin. Nolan clearly fell into the Oppenheimer rabbit hole and, one can surmise, became captivated by the challenge of how to represent his paradoxical mind. What has resulted from that fascination is plainly a labor of love, both for Nolan and his leading actor, Cillian Murphy. According to Nolan’s promotional interviews, the script was written exclusively in the first person—from Oppenheimer’s perspective—a remarkable and telling revelation about the questions Nolan was pursuing. The film is fast-paced, with short, quick-cut scenes that proceed out of chronological order over a very long running time; a sense of anxious dread hangs over the entire affair. Oppenheimer is not easy to watch, and the large number of A- and B-list actors playing small roles (as historical figures both famous and obscure) is distracting and, at times, confusing, even for someone who knows the historical source material.

And yet, improbably, the film has become a summer blockbuster: within a few weeks, it reportedly earned several multiples of its purported $100 million price tag. As Variety put it, “considering ‘Oppenheimer’ is a three-hour, R-rated biographical drama, these numbers are staggering.” Much of this can be credited to Nolan, almost universally acknowledged as the premier director working at the intersection between think piece and spectacle.

When I learned that Nolan was making an Oppenheimer film, the first question that came to mind was: why? None of Nolan’s other films suggested an interest in historical biography, and if anything, the most frequent critique of Nolan is his indifference to deep characterization. Since I have been thinking about J. Robert Oppenheimer for some 20 years, I can certainly understand his allure, but to Nolan? I worried that Oppenheimer’s inner complexity and subtlety, the very thing that historians find interesting about him, would be turned into a simplistic parody (the brilliant scientist, the weeping martyr, the weapons maker, etc.).

And so, upon watching the film, I was impressed by how much Nolan as writer, and Murphy as actor, tried to avoid this particular snare. Murphy’s Oppenheimer exudes tension, intelligence, and, crucially, insecurity. He is not portrayed as a hero, or someone you would want to emulate, or potentially even someone you would like to have dinner with. He is smart, yes, but he’s also a show-off, a know-it-all whose need to be considered “brilliant” by others drives him at times to be impressive, cruel, and thoughtless. It is remarkable that Nolan and Murphy went in this direction. One gets the sense that Nolan thinks Oppenheimer is important, and interesting, but not that he likes Oppenheimer. This may have helped him avoid the most seductive trap of all: trying to make Oppenheimer a relatable everyman.

The film zigs and zags temporally, using Oppenheimer’s 1954 security clearance hearing as an organizer of sorts, jumping between 1954 and various moments from Oppenheimer’s earlier life. There is also some footage, always in black-and-white to distinguish it from Oppenheimer’s point of view, that follows the perspective of Lewis Strauss (played with verve by Robert Downey Jr.), Oppenheimer’s political enemy and the architect of his security clearance revocation. A few periods in Oppenheimer’s life receive particular focus: his early years as a student in Cambridge (ca. 1925), his years as a young professor at the University of California, Berkeley (1930s), the years he worked on the Manhattan Project (1942–45), the detection of the Soviet atomic bomb and the debate over the hydrogen bomb (1949–50), and the turn in political fortunes that led to his security clearance hearing and revocation (1953–54). Though this leaves out some key periods in his biography (more on that in a moment), it still feels like a lot to cover in a single film—too much, perhaps.

As a historian of nuclear weapons, I have been asked innumerable times since the film came out whether it was accurate. It is a harder question to answer than one might think. At some level, the answer is “of course not”—but that is true of not only all historical films but also, to a certain degree, all historical books. “Truth” is a tricky thing in general, and “historical truth” even trickier; scholars are always finding fault with each other’s works, and there is never any real consensus on the true character of a historical figure even for people with less apparent depth than Oppenheimer. And then there’s the fact that the standard for works of art is surely different. In Oppenheimer, many of the characters’ lines are in fact taken from historical documents, sometimes verbatim. When David Krumholtz delivers Rabi’s famous line about being appreciative of Oppenheimer’s contributions (“and what more do you want, mermaids?”), he uses an unusually verbatim quote, including a section (“and a whole series of Super bombs”) that was redacted until 2015, and is not present in any Oppenheimer biography that I know of.

The film also contains tricky mixtures of real and wholly imagined dialogue. In his testimony at Oppenheimer’s hearing, General Leslie Groves (Matt Damon), the military head of the Manhattan Project, concedes that, had he been acting according to the standards of the postwar Atomic Energy Act during World War II, he would not have given Oppenheimer a security clearance. This is indeed in the transcript of the security hearing. But in the film, Groves shoots off one more line, to the effect that he wouldn’t have cleared any of the scientists by that standard. It’s a good line—but the real Groves never said it, nor did he imply it in his actual testimony. Though supportive of Oppenheimer, he was also shielding himself from his own political and legal vulnerabilities. But the sentiment is right for the film, serving as an indication that Groves bore Oppenheimer no ill feeling, and that the priorities and requirements of World War II were different from those of the Cold War.

More troublesome are the aspects of the film that are based on untrustworthy historical accounts. A terrific scene, which takes place just after Hiroshima, shows Oppenheimer giving a rousing and patriotic speech to a bloodthirsty crowd while internally haunted by thoughts of the burned and dead. It is the one place where Oppenheimer’s conflicting feelings toward Hiroshima are portrayed, and where what had happened at Hiroshima is imagined.

The scene is powerful and appropriately disturbing. You could hear a pin drop during this scene in the sold-out theater I attended. But did this particular speech actually happen? It was not invented whole cloth by Nolan; the setup and dialogue were taken from a scientist’s recollections. But the scientist in question, Samuel Cohen, is the only person who has ever indicated that this event happened, and he only wrote it down many decades after the fact. (In his self-published memoir, Cohen insinuates that “[t]here’s an explanation” for the fact that nobody has ever written about this other than himself, but that he couldn’t be bothered to write about it.) Cohen was a bit of a fabulist; he created an identity for himself as the “father of the neutron bomb” based on work he did on the possibilities of enhanced-radiation warheads at the RAND Corporation in the late 1950s, which actual weapons designers from the period regarded as fairly insignificant. He was also no fan of Oppenheimer’s, considering him “a real sadist.” I do not put much stock in Cohen’s story.

But one can see the appeal of such a scene for Nolan: no other accounts have Oppenheimer giving any such speech after Hiroshima, or doing anything other than perhaps going to one party and then leaving. The literal or hewing-to-the-facts approach would be anticlimactic—whereas incorporating Cohen’s account allows for a complex exploration of the American reaction to Hiroshima, the Los Alamos reaction to Hiroshima, and Oppenheimer’s reaction to Hiroshima. It gives Nolan and Murphy a broader canvas to work with. Is there a greater truth being expressed, whatever the quality of the source? I am not sure. It depends on what one believes about Oppenheimer’s mental state immediately after Hiroshima, before the accounts of casualties and suffering came in, before Nagasaki, and before he was enlisted to (erroneously, it turns out) deny Japanese reports of radiation sickness. (Michael D. Gordin’s 2007 book Five Days in August: How World War II Became a Nuclear War is a close account emphasizing just how rapidly attitudes on the atomic bomb changed in the days between its first use and the eventual surrender of Japan.)

Another example of Hollywood invention occurs when Nolan has Oppenheimer meet President Harry Truman, and the president calls Oppenheimer a “crybaby” for complaining about having blood on his hands. What is the source of these insults? The “crybaby” and “blood” bits come from later stories told by Truman, when he was trying to impress upon others how impractical and irritating scientists can be, and how it was he, Harry Truman, who truly had blood on his hands (Truman had his own complex relationship to the bombings, despite his tough talk). There is also an account from biographer Nuel Pharr Davis of Oppenheimer’s side of that story, but Davis provides no citation whatsoever, nor even a date when this conversation may have taken place.

Nolan also interpolates into this meeting a line in which Oppenheimer suggests that the future of Los Alamos should be to “give it back to the Indians.” Not only is this unlikely to be a true line—a sentiment to the contrary is more likely—but also the only person who might have suggested that Oppenheimer said this was Edward Teller (another Oppenheimer enemy), and only in 1950 as part of an explicit attempt to recruit opposition to Oppenheimer and lobby for Teller’s own weapons laboratory (which would eventually become Livermore). As the late Oppenheimer biographer Priscilla McMillan pointed out, “Give It Back to the Indians” was a popular show tune from 1939, and if Oppenheimer ever did say the phrase, it was probably in jest, and certainly not to the president. (My wife has suggested that this would be like hearing someone describe themselves as a “Gangster of Love” and interpreting it as a literal assertion, rather than a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Steve Miller Band.) In Teller’s actual testimony at Oppenheimer’s security hearing, Teller distanced himself from the line, claiming that he heard it “attributed to Oppenheimer” but could not recall ever hearing him say it.

The film is full of such questionably accurate scenes. Did Oppenheimer actually try to poison his tutor at Cambridge with a poisoned apple? We don’t really know. Young Oppenheimer, as reflected through his letters of the period, was prone to making exaggerated, “shocking” statements of this sort. (Many of Oppenheimer’s letters from the 1920s contain what Jeremy Bernstein refers to as “Oppenheimer exuberance.”) It makes for a more perplexing character portrait to imagine these moments as literal, as Nolan does in the film, which raises this question: is representing them as literal truth getting at a deeper truth, or introducing a deeper confusion? Does the ambivalence of historians about an event give the artist full latitude to present it either way?

The most shocking (and creative) reappropriation is the famous line from the Bhagavad Gītā that Oppenheimer later claimed flashed into his mind during the world’s first nuclear test, Trinity: “Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.” The actual line is an idiosyncratic translation, deployed as a near incomprehensible (and perhaps pretentiously “Oppie”) analogy about duty and awe. Disregarding whatever the real Oppenheimer might have meant by it, Nolan’s film turns the quote into an orgasm, or a memory of an orgasm. There is something about this kind of transformation that I respect more than the subtler ones.

Nolan is most editorial when he invents lines about Oppenheimer’s motivations and mental state and puts them into the mouths of observers: Haakon Chevalier (Jefferson Hall) suggests that Oppenheimer’s difficulties as a parent (and perhaps as a person) might be the result of staring into the infinite void of the universe for too long; Kitty Oppenheimer suggests that her husband’s need for the security hearing is a form of penance for his guilt about Hiroshima (an interesting thesis, one he surely would not have agreed with, but who knows?); Strauss suggests that Oppenheimer would like the world to remember him for Trinity, not Hiroshima (also interesting, although putting interesting sentiments into the mouth of a sworn enemy and unreliable narrator tends to dilute their credibility). I might not agree with these interpolations, but I respect that they are not superficial “theses” about Oppenheimer. That Murphy’s character does not endorse or deny any of them is, I think, a plus: the film suggests them as possible interpretations but does not collapse the uncertainty into one definitive reality.

Nolan’s film is most directly misleading about actual history when Oppenheimer is portrayed as getting sidelined, starting at the end of the Los Alamos sequence when it is suggested that, despite his usefulness to the military and the government, they are only interested in Oppenheimer’s technical abilities and not in his advice on other matters. It is further implied that in the film’s postwar period, Oppenheimer becomes marginalized, in part because Strauss is the sort of person who actually controls policy. This is wrong on several levels. Oppenheimer was much closer to the policy process during World War II than the film depicts, including in the targeting of the atomic bombs (and not just from a technical perspective). The film’s implication of distance between Oppenheimer and the government officials involved in dropping the atomic bomb is inaccurate; they all saw eye to eye, and Oppenheimer personally endorsed the idea that the bombs ought be dropped on “urban areas” without warning. He even suggested, after the Trinity test, ways in which the bomb designs could be modified to use more of their scarce nuclear fuel, so that there would be many more bombs ready to drop on Japan (Groves rejected this suggestion for the first bombs). Many years later, well after Oppenheimer had died, Strauss told an interviewer that these scientists during World War II felt a “compulsion to use the bomb—an obsession,” and while one should be wary of the source, in this case I think he was right.

In truth, Oppenheimer enjoyed tremendous influence in the atomic energy establishment after World War II. The chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission for its first, formative years was not Strauss but David Lilienthal, a liberal New Dealer who considered himself a close friend of Oppenheimer’s and a political ally. Oppenheimer’s views did not always carry the day, but one cannot really describe him as sidelined until Eisenhower became president in 1953, and then only because Strauss was made AEC chairman (Strauss’s anti-Oppenheimer campaign, whatever its deep motivations, began in earnest when he feared that Eisenhower would be charmed by Oppenheimer’s way of thinking). One can see how this makes a less clean narrative about Oppenheimer and early nuclear policy, and one can see as well why Nolan probably felt that jumping from 1945 to 1949 worked better for an already long film.

There are other areas where the film’s limited bandwidth creates distortion. The reactions to both the first Soviet atomic test and the hydrogen bomb debate feel rushed and devoid of stakes. One does not get a sense of what the H-bomb debate was about, or why people who supported building the atomic bombs would find the H-bombs morally objectionable. The brief section that addresses the plans for using the atomic bombs in Japan reinforces narratives that historians have for decades known to be false (like the idea that it was seen as a question of “bomb or invade”—in reality, these were not considered alternative options, and it was not at all clear that one, two, or even more atomic bombs would end the war). (Groves told Oppenheimer after Trinity, for example, “It is necessary to drop the first Little Boy and the first Fat Man and probably a second one in accordance with our original plans. It may be that as many as three [Fat Man bombs] may have to be dropped to conform to planned strategical operations,” along with the Little Boy bomb.) One gets the sense that these are not the kinds of historical questions that Nolan cares about.

So what does the director care about? Why make a film about Oppenheimer at all? Cold War narratives about Oppenheimer tend to be moralizing parables about the dangers of McCarthyism and the security state. This is not Nolan’s interest; to his credit, he makes it very clear that though the Oppenheimer hearings were a farce as far as justice was concerned, once the scientist’s behavior was under the microscope, it became hard for anyone, including Oppenheimer, to justify it. Oppenheimer might have gotten to his precarious position because he offended a few powerful people, and because he opposed them on the question of thermonuclear weapons, but his fate was sealed by his admission that he had lied repeatedly to security officers and had maintained connections—even sexual ones—with known or suspected communists after becoming the head of Los Alamos. One doesn’t leave Nolan’s film concerned that Oppenheimer didn’t get justice.

Nolan’s interest in Oppenheimer centers on two themes. One of them is the complexity of Oppenheimer’s character. The other is global destruction, threaded through the entire film from its first images until its last scene. The fact that these two themes are intertwined in the same person is, I think, the point. In Oppenheimer, the intensely personal is suffused with the apocalyptic imagination. The visions that kept Oppenheimer up at night were not about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for better or worse. They were about the next war, the one he hoped Hiroshima and Nagasaki would make impossible.

When Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace met Oppenheimer a few months after the end of World War II, he described a man in great distress. “I never saw a man in such an extremely nervous state as Oppenheimer,” Wallace wrote in his diary. “He seemed to feel that the destruction of the entire human race was imminent. […] The guilt consciousness of the atomic bomb scientists is one of the most astounding things I have ever seen.” (The result of this meeting was Wallace’s arranging of Oppenheimer’s disastrous encounter with Truman in the Oval Office.) Oppenheimer was, at this point, desperately trying to advocate for a world in which no nation would have nuclear weapons, using the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the nascent plans for even worse weapons, as an impetus for remaking the entire nature of war and international relations. He did not succeed; we live in his worst nightmare, where multiple states have civilization-killing quantities of nuclear arms ready for deployment at a moment’s notice.

This harried, eschatological prophet, desperately trying to invoke what influence he has in order to convince the people with real power not to use that power poorly, is the Oppenheimer that Murphy channels, and that Nolan is interested in. I have always thought that Prometheus was the wrong reference point, one that Oppenheimer himself would have strongly rejected. Oppenheimer was no champion of humanity, and his punishment was not for having “stolen fire,” but for more mundane transgressions, including those of the flesh, a fact that Nolan’s film emphasizes. In his Bhagavad Gītā reference, Oppenheimer renders himself as Prince Arjuna, who was cajoled by something great and terrible into taking on a burden he did not want. Even that feels incomplete, for while Oppenheimer was initially willing to go to war, he was afterwards gripped with an intense desire to push things in a different direction. Perhaps we need to invent a new, modern mythology for such a figure; perhaps that is what Nolan is really trying to do. Let’s hope the film will be remembered for this, and not just for its curious juxtaposition with the other summer blockbuster, Greta Gerwig’s (excellent) Barbie.'

"A REPORT ON QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY METABOLITES"

ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted at the plant biotechnology laboratory in S. Thangapazham Agricultural College, Vasudevanallur, Tenkasi District by the Department of Crop Improvement. The aim of this study wasto analyze 25 plant species with potential medicinal values based on traditional knowledge for presence of secondary metabolites.We analyzed and screened the presence of secondary metabolites in most grown weed crops in our region. The weed crops that used to analyze were Phyllanthus niruri, Andrographis paniculata, Centratherum punctatum, Andrographis paniculate, Euphorbia heterophylla, Calotropis procera, Cyperus rotundus, Acmella oleracea, Echinochloa colona, Lantana camara, Tridax procumbens, Chloris barbata. From this, we concluded that these weeds can be used for the medicinal purposes.

KEYWORDS: Secondary metabolites, Medicinal plants, Qualitative analysis

INTRODUCTION Medicinal Plants and secondary metabolites A Medicinal Plant is any plant which, in one or more of its organs, contains substances that can be used for therapeutic purposes or which are precursors for the synthesis of useful drugs. The term “Medicinal Plants” includes various types of plants used in herbalism. According to WHO, around 21,000 plant species have the potential for being used as medicinal plant. More than 30% of the entire plant species, at one time or other were used for medicinal purposes.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present research work was undertaken with the aim of qualitative analysis of secondary metabolites for 25 plant samples using aqueous and alcoholic extractions, and establishing tissue culture in five selected plant species among the 25 species. The experiments of the present studies were carried out at the plant biotechnology laboratory at S. Thangapazham Agricultural College, Vasudevanallur. Details of materials and methods used were as follows.

Plant samples: Totally 25 plant samples were selected from mini-orchard medicinal garden, some from Nursery garden and some of the weeds from fields of S.Thangapazham Agricultural College Campus.

Aqueous extraction of plant sample: Weight of fresh leaves were taken and washed thoroughly and left for drying. Later after complete drying. Dried samples were completely dried in incubator at 60˚c for 8 hours and then the dried leaves were made into fine powder in mechanical grinder, powdered leaf sample of plant taken into a butter paper cover (Kumari and Bhatnagar 2016). And some modification are done from the known procedure after several trials, For 5g of sample 50ml of distilled water added in the ratio of 1:10.Boil it under 600 c for 30 minutes for secondary metabolite content in the leaf powder dissolve into the aqueous, then filtrate through whattman no.1 filter paper to getting clear extract. After filtering, the extracts were centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 15 minutes and store it in sterile bottle at 50 c for further use. Ethanolic extraction of plant sample: 250 g of fresh leaves were taken washed thoroughly and transferred into a round bottomed flask and it was added 500ml of ethanol and 500 ml of distilled water and was preserved carefully until 10 days, the extraction was taken and was filtered using whattman filter paper and feature pure sample was obtained using the Soxhlet apparatus (Das 2016). And modification taken are, For 10g of air dried powder macerated with 100 ml of ethanol, kept in the shaker for 72 hours, then kept at reduced pressure concentrated to 100 ml, Redissolve with alcohol and store it for further use.

Qualitative analysis of secondary metabolites: Alkaloids (Stochmal et al., 2022): 1ml of 1% HCl was added to 3 ml of extract in a test tube and was treated with few drops of Meyer’s reagent. If the creamy white precipitation occur which indicate the presence of alkaloid. (Mayer’s reagent: Freshly prepared by dissolving a mixture of mercuric chloride (1.36 g) and of potassium iodide (5.00 g) in water (100.0 ml).

Saponins (Kumari and Bhatnagar 2016): 5 ml of extract was shaken vigorously to obtain a stable persistent froth. The frothing was then mixed with 3 drops of olive oil and formation of emulsion which indicated the presence of saponins.

Flavonoids (Kumari and Bhatnagar 2016): A few drops of 1% NH3 solution was added to the extract in a test tubes. If a yellow coloration was noticed for presence of flavonoids.

Tannins (Kumari and Bhatnagar 2016): To 0.5 ml of extract solution, 1 ml of distilled water and 1 to 2 drops of ferric chloride solution were added. If the extract color change into bluish black or brownish green indicates presence of tannins.

Glycosides (Kumari and Bhatnagar 2016): 10 ml of 50% H2SO4 was added to 1 ml of extract in a boiling tube. The mixture was heated in a boiling water for 5 minutes. 10 ml of Fehling’s solution( 5 ml of each solution A&B) was added and boiled. Formation of brick red precipitation indicates the presence of glycosides.

Phenols (Kumari and Bhatnagar 2016): 3-4 drops of 1% ferric chloride was added to extract. If the extract color change into bluish black indication of phenols.

Steroids (Kumari and Bhatnagar 2016): Add 1 ml of crude extract with 2ml of chloroform. Add few drops of conc. H2SO4. Presence of red color upper layer indicate the presence of steroids.

Terpenoids (Kumari and Bhatnagar 2016): 5 ml of extract was mixed with 2 ml of CHCl3 in a test tube. 3 ml of conc. H2SO4 was carefully added to the mixture to form a layer. If the formation of interface with a reddish brown coloration for the presence of terpenoids.

CONCLUSION We analyzed and screened the presence of secondary metabolites in most grown weed crops in our region. The weed crops that used to analyze were Phyllanthus niruri, Andrographis paniculata, Centratherum punctatum, Andrographis paniculate, Euphorbia heterophylla, Calotropis procera, Cyperus rotundus, Acmella oleracea, Echinochloa colona, Lantana camara, Tridax procumbens, Chloris barbata.

We got positive results for all the tests like Alkaloids, Terpenoids, Saponins, Flavonoids, Tannins, Glycosides, Phenols and steroids in the plant species such as Cissus quadrangularis, Calotropis procera, Cyperus rotundus, Acmella oleracea, Ocimum sanctum in aqueous extract. From this, we concluded that these weeds can be used for the medicinal purposes.

Week 6: Slow fashion

In the last post, I presented about digital citizenship and its defined, thus in this week's post I will point out the connectives between digital citizenship and the slow fashion industry. In recent years, a great deal of study and documentation has been done on the social and ecological effects of the fashion business. Its whole life cycle has become known as one of the most polluting businesses (Freudenreich et al, 2020). Being aware of how serious this problem could cause to apply knowledge of digital citizenship is a good idea. Both digital relationships and slow fashion promote conscious consumption. Through online platforms, individuals can share tips, resources, and personal experiences related to sustainable living and fashion choices. Digital relationships foster a sense of accountability and encouragement among participants, motivating them to make more mindful purchasing decisions and prioritize quality over quantity. In the past, if clothes stores just created about 2 periods in a year, nowadays it has increased to 50-100 small periods each year. When the slogan "Fashion is not limited" and also the demand of people, some clothes industries use it as an excuse to produce and sell new clothes every week. For example, Zara is a well-known brand in the fast fashion industry, with the speed of renewing clothes in the store in just about 2 weeks (2020). Although people might want them to appear with new outfits every day, in reality, this action could affect hardly on the ecology of the Earth. In 2017, Europeans bought 6.4 million tons of new clothes; between 1996 and 2012, studies estimate that each person increased by 40% the amount of new clothes they purchased (2).

Realizing that in order to protect the earth's green future so people can live happily, they need to reduce this alarming situation, thus a movement named Slow Fashion has appeared. It highlights the necessity of implementing sustainable practices and fundamental adjustments to the fashion business, such as using environmentally friendly and long-lasting materials, followed by improving quality in the production line (Fletcher, 2010). Moreover, it is necessary to raise awareness of people, especially in women, by providing specific data so that they understand how huge and scary the impact of the fashion industry is on the environment. Put differently, the movement advocates for firms to embrace a quality-based, as opposed to a time-based, corporate strategy that revolves around slower manufacturing, moral values, and well-made, durable products.

Da Vinci Web "Black Museum Ghost and Lady" - A Ghost with a Difference

A new article has been published on da Vinci Web.

Review of "The Black Museum: Ghost and Lady," a manga about a woman who wants to be killed and a ghost who wants to be killed, which will be made into a musical in 2024.

I have been wanting to read "The Black Museum: Ghost and Lady" for a long time.

I am ashamed to admit that I did not even know its name when it was announced as a new musical by the Shiki Theater Company, but I was eager to read it before it was performed. I was not aware of its name when it was announced as a new musical by the Shiki Theatre Company, but I was very eager to read it before it was performed.　I was wondering why they were making a musical of this work.

And when I actually read it, I understood. I see, it is a musical-like work! I was surprised to see that it was a musical.

One of the main characters, Ghost (a.k.a. Gray), is a ghost who haunts a theater in London. He has been watching the play for nearly 100 years. It's reminiscent of The Phantom of the Opera. It feels like a musical at this point.

But unlike the Phantom, Gray is a haughty, talkative man.

The story was that Gray met a young nightingale and …….

I only knew Nightingale by name and a rough idea of her accomplishments, but reading this manga, I can learn about her progress along with her.

As mentioned in the comments at the end of the book, she went through a huge amount of material when writing the piece. I understand. Because it's so rich in content: ！！！！

I don't know how much of the musical adaptation will follow the original work, but there are a few "I wish I had this scene" parts. I won't say because it would be a spoiler.

As I mentioned in the article, the strike scene is very good. It is a nice ending.

The manga is in two volumes. I think it is good to read it as a preliminary study.

You said that art is just art but you never knew that these arts can be able to tell the history of the past even the truth behind their life and this world without asking them or interfering with their life. (I include Taylor Swift too. She did have a talent or many talents. Remember? I once said that proved to me that science and art can work together. Taylor Swift's the first that proved I was right in 2023. She did change...her life.)

Can you hear your people cry: Help us now. This dark hour... Deliver us. Hear our call. Deliver us. Lord of all. Remember us, here in this burning sand. Deliver ...(From Deliver Us Song by Eden Riegel and Ofra Haza)

You will understand in the future even though Mona Lisa is just a normal person painting, Leonardo da Vinci did leave something behind in his talent. (The history of the past and the truth behind the world inside.). And Van Gogh's talent was left behind as well. That's why Tsubasa of Phantasia was created to connect to people's past behind their talent even though Tsubasa of Phantasia(is just a cartoon or comic) is not real life or real history but still connects to the truth behind this world.

That's why I tested it by drawing and designing Marie Curie first without reading her actual history. Because the internet is still not 100% real information or even books written by many people in the past. And I can't go to check British Library – London because I don't have enough money to travel. The British Library has rare manuscripts and actual history that can check correct information. And that's why I study the structure of geology in Petroleum. Just like Petroleum said, the earth can tell history even fossils.

Note: British Library, National Library of Great Britain, in 1997–98 a new complex was opened in London near St. Pancras Station in order to unify its vast collections. The British Library holds more than 170 million items, including over 13 million printed and electronic books as well as hundreds of thousands of periodicals, microfilms, and rare manuscripts. Its special offerings include the Oriental and India Office Collections (transferred from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1982), the National Sound Archive (formerly the British Institute of Recorded Sound, incorporated into the library in 1983), printed music, a map library, and philatelic materials.

Glauben sie nicht alles

Glauben sie nicht alles ⋆ Alexei Glinkin ⋆ Nachrichten Wahrheit

Nachrichten richtig lesen lernen: Viele Menschen haben den Angriff auf die Wahrheit in der letzten Zeit überstanden, aber nicht alle haben gelernt, die Wahrheit von Fälschungen im Internet zu unterscheiden. Im Rahmen des Projekts »Was tun?« von Alexei Glinkin finden sie eine zusammengestellte Anleitung zum richtigen Lesen von Nachrichten in modernen Realitäten. Sie werden lernen, warum sie nicht nur die Schlagzeile, sondern immer die ganze Nachricht lesen müssen, warum Sie immer nach der Originalquelle suchen sollten und wann Sie der Nachricht nicht zu 100 Prozent vertrauen sollten. Suchen Sie immer nach der Originalquelle: Für Journalisten und Blogger ist es oft wichtig, ihren Konkurrenten einen Schritt voraus zu sein und Nachrichten so schnell wie möglich zu veröffentlichen, insbesondere wenn die Nachrichtenlage noch heiß ist. Aus diesem Grund aber haben sie nicht immer Zeit, die Informationen, ihre Quelle und Authentizität ordnungsgemäß zu überprüfen. Bei der Wahl zwischen einem umfassenden Faktencheck, der Zeit braucht, und einer schnellen Nachrichtenübermittlung bevorzugen Medienschaffende deshalb oft Letzteres. Darunter leiden Leser, die den Medien glauben schenken. Um nicht Opfer einer solchen Fälschung zu werden, suchen Sie deshalb immer nach der ursprünglichen Informationsquelle und lesen Sie die Nachrichten in ihrer Gesamtheit. Die Suche nach der Originalquelle ist normalerweise ganz einfach. Große Medien geben die Originalquelle traditionell entweder in der Nachricht selbst oder darunter an. Wenn Sie einen Hyperlink zur Quelle sehen, folgen Sie ihm und lesen Sie keine Neufassung, sondern die Nachricht in ihrer ursprünglichen Form. Wenn kein Hyperlink vorhanden ist, versuchen Sie, die Nachrichten anhand von Schlüsselwörtern in einer Suchmaschine zu finden. Wenn eine Veröffentlichung auf einen Beitrag in einem sozialen Netzwerk verweist, folgen Sie dem Link, um ihn im Original zu lesen, oder suchen Sie mithilfe einer Suchmaschine nach dem Autor des Beitrags. Dies ist wichtig, da es Fälle gab, in denen die Medien Aussagen berühmter Personen zitierten, die sich nie wirklich in sozialen Netzwerken registriert hatten, und sich ihre Profile als gefälscht herausstellten. Überprüfen Sie Nachrichten immer aus mehreren Quellen: Sehen und lesen Sie Nachrichten auf verschiedenen Websites, Plattformen oder Fernsehkanälen. Dies ist eine der Grundregeln für die Datenverifizierung, insbesondere im Informationskrieg der zur Zeit auf der ganzen Welt herrscht. Mit dieser Methode können Sie das Ereignis aus einem anderen Blickwinkel betrachten, die Zahlen vergleichen und zu einem gemeinsamen Nenner kommen. Darüber hinaus kann eine Veröffentlichung die Nachrichten einer anderen widerlegen - es wird viel einfacher sein, eine Fälschung zu identifizieren. Kritische Menschen haben die Richtigkeit dieses Prinzips bereits erkannt und verstanden. Laut einer Studie in den vergangenen Monaten ist das Vertrauen der Menschen in Fernsehen und Online-Medien stark gesunken, in sozialen Netzwerken, Blogs und Telegram-Kanäle hingegen gestiegen. Dies bedeutet jedoch keineswegs, dass alle von den Medien veröffentlichten Informationen nicht wirklich wahr sind und alles, was in den Sozialen Medien geschrieben wird, auch vollständig wahr ist. Denken Sie also immer daran, dass jede Nachricht auch noch von anderen Quellen verifiziert werden sollte. Vertrauen Sie nur vertrauenswürdigen Quellen: Die Formel ist einfach: Je seriösere Quellen Sie lesen, desto unwahrscheinlicher ist es, dass Sie auf eine Fälschung stoßen, obwohl es eigentlich unmöglich ist, sich vollständig zu schützen - Fehler passieren auch bei den größten Publikationen. Bei der Messung der Glaubwürdigkeit eines bestimmten Mediums kann es zu Nuancen kommen. Wenn wir über Journalismus sprechen, sollten wir zunächst jenen Veröffentlichungen vertrauen, deren Redaktionspolitik die Veröffentlichung exklusiver Materialien nur zulässt, wenn die Richtigkeit ihrer Informationen von mindestens mehreren unabhängigen Quellen bestätigt wurde. Solche Prinzipien werden aber nur von wenigen Nachrichtenagenturen befolgt. Medien, die versuchen, Informationen vor allen anderen zu veröffentlichen, veröffentlichen Nachrichten oft nur unter Bezugnahme auf eine anonyme Quelle. Manchmal passiert dies auch, weil die Autoren der Kanäle einfach nicht wissen, was es genau ist, und im Gegensatz zu professionellen Journalisten nicht fähig sind, Informationen schnell zu überprüfen. Natürlich gilt diese Aussage nicht für alle Blogger (die Arbeit einiger Nachrichten-Kanäle wird von ganzen Redaktionen erbracht), aber Dutzende beliebter Kanäle tun genau das nicht. Auf der niedrigsten Vertrauensebene befinden sich Nachrichten, die in Messenger gesendet werden. In Indien zum Beispiel geriet das Land aufgrund von Reposts gefälschter Nachrichten auf WhatsApp ganz groß in Aufruhr: In nur wenigen Monaten verursachten gefälschte Nachrichten den Tod von fast drei Dutzend Menschen. Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass eine Fälschung jede Veröffentlichung mit jeder Autoritätsebene durchdringen kann. Daher ein einfacher Ratschlag: Konzentrieren Sie sich zunächst auf jene Publikationen, die Sie noch nicht im Stich gelassen haben. Lesen Sie nur die Nachrichten von Journalisten und Bloggern, die bekannt sind, nicht mit Fakten zu jonglieren, Informationen zu verzerren oder absichtlich falsche Nachrichten zu veröffentlichen. So können Sie auch die Anzahl der Fälschungen in Ihrem Feed reduzieren. Lernen Sie, Medienmanipulationen zu erkennen: Manchmal manipulieren sogar seriöse Medien, denen man glaubt vertrauen zu können, offen Quellen. Im journalistischen Umfeld gibt es so zum Beispiel eine Meme wie: »Der Präsident lügt«. Der Artikel verweist auf Materialien prominenter Medien, die von Zeit zu Zeit Nachrichten basierend auf ein paar Kommentaren in sozialen Netzwerken unter der lauten Schlagzeile »Der Präsident lügt« veröffentlichen. Aus dem Titel geht auch hervor, dass die ganze Nation bereits unisono über das Ereignis gesprochen hat. Aber das ist natürlich nicht der Fall. Die Autoren solcher Nachrichten nehmen mehrere Kommentare unter dem Artikel oder unter dem Beitrag zusammen, während sie Kommentatoren mit einer gegenteiligen Sichtweise vollständig ignorieren. Die Quelle solcher Nachrichten zu finden, ist normalerweise nicht einfach, da die Veröffentlichung keine direkten Links zu Kommentaren veröffentlicht. Und es ist einfach unmöglich zu überprüfen, ob eine Notiz und ein Kommentar tatsächlich von unterschiedlichen Personen verfasst wurden. Trotz der Tatsache, dass solche Nachrichten offen aus dem Finger gesaugt werden, sind andere große Publikationen oft gezwungen, sie auch zu zitieren. Tatsache ist, dass die Medien nicht nur im Tempo konkurrieren, sondern auch um das Publikum kämpfen wegen der finanziellen Einnahmen. News helfen ihnen, zusätzliche Einnahmen zu erhalten. Wenn ein Medium ein Thema festgelegt hat, müssen alle anderen Medien auch am Rennen teilnehmen, sonst verlieren sie an Gewicht und Ansehen. Oftmals werden so Nachricht einfach nur frei erfunden, die dann erfolgreich publiziert werden. Lesen Sie Nachrichten und Artikel immer über die Schlagzeile hinaus: Was oben beschrieben wurde, nennt man Clickbait – wenn die Angaben im Titel nicht mit dem Text der Publikation übereinstimmen. Journalisten verdrehen manchmal absichtlich die Fakten, nur um Publikum anzulocken. Oft sündigen auch Blogger und die Boulevardpresse mit Clickbait. Bei offensichtlichem oder vermutetem Clickbait sollte man also die Nachricht erst gar nicht öffnen beziehungsweise lesen, denn damit macht man genau das, was die Verlage wollen, ihre Einnahmen durch Werbung zu steigern. Manchmal erscheinen Clickbait-Überschriften nicht aus dem Wunsch von Journalisten heraus, den Leser absichtlich in die Irre zu führen, sondern wenn der Autor versucht hat, die Überschrift für das Publikum einfach nur interessanter zu machen, und dabei einfach nur zu weit gegangen ist. Dies rechtfertigt aber alles nicht. Und noch was: Erzählen Sie besonders diese Neuigkeiten nicht einfach weiter, die sie nur auf Schlagzeilenebene gelesen haben. Geben Sie den Nachrichten Zeit: Nachrichtenautoren opfern häufig die Überprüfung von Material zugunsten der Veröffentlichungsgeschwindigkeit. In der Eile haben Journalisten und Blogger keine Zeit, die Informationen zu überprüfen, bevor sie veröffentlicht werden. Sicherlich haben Sie bereits mehr als einmal Nachrichten über ein Ereignis gelesen, das noch gar nicht stattgefunden hat. Dutzende wichtiger Publikationen veröffentlichten so zum Beispiel die Nachricht vom Tod eines Politikers im Februar, als er noch lebte. Lassen Sie Nachrichten daher immer mindestens ein paar Stunden ruhen, besonders wenn es sich um Botschaften mit emotionalem Hintergrund handelt. Die Emotionen werden früher oder später abflauen und die Nachrichten werden bestätigt oder widerlegt. Dass sich Fake News im Informationsraum blitzschnell verbreiten, hat eine einfache Erklärung. Menschen halten es dann für akzeptabel, glatte Lügen zu verbreiten, wenn sie glauben, dass diese Informationen in Zukunft wahr werden könnten. Dies fanden Forscher der London Business School heraus. Dies ist besonders dann offensichtlich, wenn eine falsche Aussage mit den politischen Ansichten der betreffenden Person übereinstimmt. Denken Sie daran, dass Menschen, die bereitwillig unbestätigte schockierende Details über ein Ereignis verbreiten, das gerade passiert sein soll, möglicherweise tatsächlich selber glauben, dass diese Informationen in der Zukunft auch bestätigt werden. Überprüfen Sie Fakten selbst: Auch zuverlässigen Primärquellen kann man nicht immer vertrauen, ganz zu schweigen von Bloggern und Freunden aus sozialen Netzwerken. Eine in Großbritannien durchgeführte Umfrage zeigte, dass ein Sechstel der Befragten absolut alles glauben, was ihre Freunde veröffentlichen. Darüber hinaus haben Wissenschaftler festgestellt, dass viele Menschen Informationen auf Facebook für zuverlässiger und vertrauenswürdiger halten als Expertenmaterialien. Sie sollten also Worten von Rednern und Nachrichtenautoren nicht blind glauben, egal wer sie veröffentlicht - sie könnten Informationen verzerren, versehentlich oder bewusst, im Interesse persönlicher, unternehmerischer oder staatlicher Interessen. Wenn Sie ein Thema wirklich verstehen wollen, tauchen Sie selbst ein in die Materie. Gerade unter den Zuständen von Feindseligkeiten und Informationskriegen, wie sie gerade zur Zeit herrschen, ist es besonders wichtig, Lügen zu erkennen. Alle Konfliktparteien versuchen Daten zu manipulieren. Glauben Sie nicht allen Fotos und Videos, die Sie im Internet sehen: Jedes Bild und Video kann mit Photoshop und Deepfake-Technologie leicht gefälscht werden. Dazu müssen Sie keine großen Fähigkeiten haben - moderne Programme können das Bild sogar selbst retuschieren. Um die Retusche zu sehen, reicht manchmal schon ein genauerer Blick auf das Foto aus. Vergrößern Sie das Bild, drehen Sie es. Dies hilft Ihnen, verschwommene oder verschmierte Teile zu finden. Es ist auch nützlich, das Bild über Image-Dienste zu überprüfen. Auf diese Weise können Sie herausfinden, ob dieses oder ein verdächtig ähnliches Foto bereits früher (vor Monaten oder Jahren) ins Internet hochgeladen wurde. Wenn Sie sich ein Video ansehen, achten Sie auf die Schnitte. Achten Sie genau auf kleine Details (wie auf die Uhr auf dem Arm des Helden, das Datum auf dem Smartphone, die Jahreszeit vor dem Fenster). Gut möglich, dass die Urheber der Fälschung ein altes Video als echtes ausgegeben haben. Eine andere Möglichkeit, dies zu überprüfen, besteht darin, ein Standbild zu machen und das Bild auf Google Bilder zu überprüfen. Achten Sie auf Portale, die Fälschungen melden: Viele Menschen glauben, dass sie wissen, wie man Fälschung von der Wahrheit unterscheiden kann. Fast die Hälfte der Befragten nannten die Anwesenheit von nur einer Sichtweise auf ein Ereignis in den Nachrichten ein klares Zeichen für Manipulation beziehungsweise eine Fälschung. Als Kriterien, die dabei helfen, Falschinformationen zu erkennen, nannten viele die übertriebene Emotionalität der Nachrichten bzw. das Fehlen eines Links zu einer offiziellen Quelle. Wenn Sie zu den Menschen gehören, denen es schwer fällt, festzustellen, ob es sich um gefälschte oder zuverlässige Informationen handelt, nutzen Sie Ressourcen, die sich professionell damit auseinandersetzen. Enthusiastengruppen haben sich zusammengeschlossen und sammeln gefälschte Nachrichten an einem Ort, um unaufmerksame Benutzer vor Täuschung zu schützen. Einige große Portalen wie snopes.com, politifact.com und factcheck.org können ihnen hierbei behilflich sein. Sie veröffentlichen Widerlegungen beliebter Fälschungen, die sich auf aktuelle Nachrichten beziehen. Diese hier aufgeführte Methode trägt sicherlich nicht zum vollständigen Schutz vor Fälschungen bei, minimiert jedoch die Menge an Falschinformationen. Es ist wichtig, sich immer daran zu erinnern, dass in der modernen Welt der Post-Wahrheit nur kritisches Denken hilft, sich vor Fälschungen und Manipulationen zu schützen. Es ist einfach nur notwendig, dies zu trainieren. Glauben sie nicht alles ⋆ Alexei Glinkin ⋆ Nachrichten Wahrheit Read the full article
