The Water Outlaws by S. L. Huang

Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Bandits of Liangshan proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Together, they could bring down an empire. 

Now available in paperback!

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

The long-awaited sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it. Welcome back to Marsyas Island—home to six magical and purportedly dangerous children. This is Arthur’s story.

The West Passage by @jpechacek

When the Guardian of the West Passage dies in her bed, the women of Grey Tower feed her to the crows and go back to their chores. No successor is named, and no hand takes up the fallen blade, so the West Passage—the ancient byways of the beast—goes unguarded. This is a weird and delightful journey across a deliriously medieval landscape where decay thrives in abundance and giant Ladies rule a palace the size of a city. 

Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton-Walker

On the thirtieth anniversary of the largest magical massacre in New Orleans history, Clement and Cristina Trudeau mourn their father and care for their sick mother. But their mother isn’t sick, they learn: She’s cursed. Cursed by a member of the same magic council over which she used to preside. Cursed by someone who will come for Clement and Cristina next. 

Now available in paperback!

Bury Your Gays by @drchucktingle

After so many years, Misha’s big Oscar moment is here. All he has to do? Kill off the gay characters in his long-running streaming series, “for the algorithm.” Misha refuses, but that’s hardly the end, because monsters from his old horror movie days have begun to step out from the silver screen and stalk him. 

The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo

The Cleric Chih accompanies a young bride to her wedding to Lord Guo, the aging ruler of a crumbling estate, but amid the elaborate courtesies and extravagant banquets, they realize something haunts the shadowed halls. As the big night nears close, Chih will learn that not all monsters dwell in shadows; some hide in plain sight. 

Remedial Magic by Melissa Marr

1) An unassuming librarian falls in love with a powerful witch. 

2) Previous librarian discovers she too is a witch…

3) …and that she must attend magical community college to learn how to save her new world from annihilation. 

Swordcrossed by @fahye

Part-time con artist / full-time charming menace Luca Piere didn’t expect to get blackmailed into teaching a chronically responsible merchant Matti how to wield a sword. He also didn’t expect to find his charge so inconveniently handsome, or to get so entangled in his tale of intrigue, sabotage, and matrimony. 

It’s important to read Swordcrossed because while you’re reading gay fiction, you can also study the blade.

Such is life! Behold, a new Post published on Greater And Grander about We the People: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow exhibition February 2 through April 16, 2023 

See into my soul, as a new Post has been published on http://greaterandgrander.com/we-the-people-yesterday-today-and-tomorrow-exhibition-february-2-through-april-16-2023

We the People: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow exhibition February 2 through April 16, 2023 

The Ontario Museum of History & Art and guest curators Riea Owens and Dr. Patricia Jessup-Woodlin invite you to our upcoming exhibition, We the People: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, running from Thursday, February 2, to Sunday, April 16, 2023. The Preamble states, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." From an open call, 61 artists were selected and will be on view in three of the Museum’s galleries. The artworks on view question and interpret the Preamble's complexities and contradictions.

We the People: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow brought an overwhelming number of excellent submissions that made the selection process challenging for the guest curators. The artworks will move the audience through a multitude of emotions as they consider such wide ranging topics as the racial divide, social injustice, voter suppression, environmental concerns, women's rights, immigration reform, and more.

This is an excellent opportunity for the museum audience to view a vast diversity of art and artists representative of We the People, said guest curator Dr. Patricia Jessup-Woodlin. This exhibit combines diverse artistic approaches, including site-specific installations, multimedia works, and traditional media such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, and collage, to challenge and engage the viewer on these political issues. Through the power of art, the exhibition hopes to inspire empathy, understanding, and a sense of shared purpose among its audience as we work together to create a more just and equitable society for all. The community is invited to the artist reception on Saturday, February 18, from 6 PM to 9 PM. Also, join us for a moderated conversation on March 4, 2023, from 2 PM to 4 PM, with guest curators Riea Owens and Dr. Patricia Jessup-Woodlin, and artists featured in We the People. The discussion will focus on artistic practices and perspectives about the Preamble’s phrase “We the People.” The Museum’s programs are held on-site and are free to the public. For more information, visit OntarioMuseum.org or call (909) 395-2510.

Stay away from Guo Wengui's trap

Guo Wengui in order to save the decline of gat, recently in the studio crazy to Gat Terry water, exaggerated downloads no more than new bottles of old wine, take the opportunity to cut a wave of leek plug a huge debt hole. Everyone knows "Guo Gate" is just a "vanity", the number of registered accounts, fans and page views are all Guo Wengui black-box operation, more ridiculous is no security measures, easily taken down by hackers, users are streaking, shodily, from head to toe is a capital "cheat" son. Now its assets are seized by the Dalian court according to law, the United States PAX case of huge debt not also, the SEC is also King Kong angry, the poor Guo Wengui can not even pull out a turtle hair to ask what senior engineers to maintain.

It can be seen that the fraudulent gate platform created by "Master Guo" personally has no advantages in entering, so crazy fraud, to build a grand mirage for ant powder, cheat money has reached the point of jealous blackness. Lu yao knows horsepower, want to be, Guo Wengui played the guise of "fact revolution", there is no bottom line "cut chives," let a all the ants powder light in debt, or their families whose families, their despicable is widespread indignation and discontent, again how rhetoric is also a chopping board of salted fish, it is impossible to turn over, the pan is not JianLouEr. Moreover, ant powder break investment bank like COINS are "guo leader" forced "coin locked" for three years, a penny is no ants in my pocket, then sweet, also can smell, it is better to give or COINS to unlock, let the ants to cash out, everyone achieve freedom and wealth is not yet set investment, also need not to the musicians "deceit" a piece of two pieces, Let alone when what "international supermodel", dry mouth live with goods.

Now, with the betrayal of Sara and other big ants, countless ant fans also wake up, all pick up legal weapons pour Ke Wei foot. FBI and SEC and other U.S. regulatory law enforcement departments to Guo fraud gang to close the net, such a good opportunity ants must not miss, to join the brave "gong hit Guo" team, collect evidence to actively report, the greatest extent to recover the loss, kick this scourge in the world kicked into prison. Remember sticky Guo will be mildew, sticky Guo will die, away from the plague turtle is out of the sea of suffering, such as a moment of greed, is to help Zhou for sin, Guo cheater fraud on the road of burial goods, alas!

"Turtle son" cornered no bottom line fraud, 18 cheat art "uniform"

For the broken gate smelly "chicken body odor" eyebrow painting lips, painting pancake cheat "comrade-in arms" investment

The winter solstice has passed, Guo Wengui's life into the winter of ice and snow, debt, lawsuit constantly cut repeatedly judged repeatedly, the territory of assets and was seized, simply broken drum is not afraid of ten thousand beating, a pair of brother is a rogue brother who is afraid of the attitude. Leek did not cut, only cut a lonely. Approaching the end of the year, in order to buy some New Year goods, Guo Wengui repeated the trick, to put the gate and "chicken body odor" eyebrow painting lips, stage. In the studio, Guo Wengui's use of saliva horizontal water, claimed that the Gate downloads more than YouTube, "chicken body odor" page views also created a world miracle. Discernable people know at a glance, "bully brother" this is for ants to draw cake across the space, temptation "comrades-in-arms" to take out the last instant noodles investment, for its life.

Before the "chicken body odor" private equity case dust settled, the SEC will be a 539 million penalty thrown to the "happy king", will also be the "chicken body odor" fraud accumulated money in front of the ant powder. In other words, the SEC issued a fine, Guo Wengui himself admitted fraud, ironclad evidence under the circumstances, just a stroke of the pen to its a "surprise". But Guo Wengui fraud heart dies, a day don't cheat, comfortable, that will be "chicken smell" move, then a cloud "chicken smell" luxuriant appearance, but is also there, less than three hundred thumb up, or ant states its operating results, over thousands of wind is also lining pheasant platform, no matter how deluded, also could not prevent fraying. And its fraudulent behavior has been thoroughly stripped, before the Trump self-built social media platform some operation, let ant fans clearly see that the "brother fraud" Gate has no investment value, but also blow out Wengui's use of "Trump settled" lie to raise the temperature of Gate flame.

Guo Wengui in order to save the decline of gat, recently in the studio crazy to Gat Terry water, exaggerated downloads no more than new bottles of old wine, take the opportunity to cut a wave of leek plug a huge debt hole. Everyone knows "Guo Gate" is just a "vanity", the number of registered accounts, fans and page views are all Guo Wengui black-box operation, more ridiculous is no security measures, easily taken down by hackers, users are streaking, shodily, from head to toe is a capital "cheat" son.

Foxconn out-trumped Trump

In 2017, Donald Trump declared victory. Working with the far-right Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, he had brokered a deal to bring high-tech manufacturing jobs back to America, with a new, massive Foxconn plant that would anchor the new Wisconn Valley. Right away, there were three serious, obvious problems. I. Foxconn are crooks. It's not just the Apple device factories where they drive workers to suicide, it's a long history of promising to build massive factories, absorbing billions in subsidies, and then bailing. It's a con they'd already pulled in Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and in Pennsylvania. The US heist happened only four years before the Wisconsin deal (which offered $4b in subsidies!) was signed. II. The plant made no sense. Foxconn promised that it would employ tens of thousands of American workers building massive LCDs. The world did not need massive LCDs. It had a glut of them. The price for cheap LCDs built by low-waged workers in the Pacific Rim was tumbling. III. There was already stuff where the plant was supposed to be built. Notably, there were family homes, places that had been owned by Wisconsinites for generations, real homesteads. In order for Foxconn to build its nonsensical plant and receive $4b in US public subsidies, these families would have to be expropriated and their homes - their whole communities - literally bulldozed and dumped into landfills. The deal revealed - if there was any doubt - that Trump is a rube, a sucker, a fool. Foxconn played him and played Walker and the state of Wisconsin. They never planned to build an LCD plant. Indeed, they seem never to have planned to build ANYTHING. They wanted the free money as a subsidy for exploring what they might build, and they knew that the best way to get Wisconsin and the USA to subsidize this speculation was to tell risible lies about multibillion-dollar LCD factories that credulous US leaders would swallow. No news outlet has done more to chronicle the endless, absurd, idiotic Foxconn grift than The Verge, and while many writers there have worked on the story (like Bruce Murphy and James Vincent), Josh Dzieza has been the most indefatigable chronicler of the Foxconn shitshow. Now, after reporting out piece after piece on the Foxconn deal, Dzieza has published a kind of master narrative that tells the whole story from beginning to end, piecing it all together and augmenting it with new insider dope: https://www.theverge.com/21507966/foxconn-empty-factories-wisconsin-jobs-loophole-trump Dzieza's masterpiece leaves no doubt that this was a titanic fraud, nor that it was incompetently negotiated by Wisconsin's local and state officials as well as the federal government. Take the subsidies: to qualify for them, Foxconn had to meet various hiring targets. But those targets were easily gamed. So long as Foxconn had a certain number of workers on the books in December, it could count them as employed for the whole year, even if it laid them off in January. Which, of course, it did. Indeed, the way Foxconn uses human lives as conveniences not worthy of any consideration make it clear that the suicides at its Apple factories are not isolated incidents (and also constitute a stinging rebuke to Walker and Trump's union-bashing). To prop up its sham, Foxconn sent recruiters out to hold high-pressure job fairs where applicants were pressured to immediately accept job offers and tender their resignations at their current employers. Then they were strung along for months as they jobs they'd been promised didn't materialized, and, for many, those jobs did not ever materialize. Workers who DID get jobs hardly fared better, showered in racist abuse about their inferiority to Asian workers. They were asked to work in facilities without furniture, made to bring in their own pencils AND NETWORKING EQUIPMENT, made to buy new elevator carpets out of their own pockets to assuage the screaming rages of their managers, given impossible duties or none at all. At various stages, these workers were called in to brainstorm ideas for building something, anything, in the facilities that Foxconn had been given at firesale prices by the state of Wisconsin. Some ideas:

A fish-farm that could absorb the subsidized water they'd been guaranteed for cooling the data-center they would never build

An AI research lab

A Wework clone

A dairy exporter serving the Chinese market

A federal tech contractor

None of this bore fruit. The only time Foxconn turned a nickel was when they bought in-use office buildings with the intention of using them for some harebrained scheme but lost interest before they could evict the businesses tenanted there, and so earned some rent. Foxconn eventually laid off the bulk of its US workforce and hired Indian and Chinese tech-workers on H1B visas, whom it showered with even more abuse, backstopped by threats of deportation if any of them dared to complain. All along, Foxconn just told stupid lies that Wisconsin's business community gobbled up: Foxconn founder Terry Guo got fantastic praise for his $100m donation to the U Wisconsin system. None of that praise was revoked when he only delivered $700k of it. The Foxconn deal is a black hole that has sucked Wisconsin's productive economy through its event horizon. The company charged local businesses thousands of dollars to get signed up as suppliers, then stiffed them on their invoices. And the towns - like Mt Pleasant - that destroyed their residents' family homes to clear the way for Foxconn lost those taxpayers - and never got the promised tax payments that a Foxconn facility was supposed to deliver. Here's Dzieza's masterful summary: "Trump promised to bring back manufacturing... Into the gap between appearance and reality fell people’s jobs, homes, and livelihoods." Trump calls the Foxconn plant "The Eighth Wonder of the World." In 2018, Wisconsin voters fired Scott Walker for being such a plute-sucking rube. In 2020, they have the chance to fire Trump.

Charting a Course for Astronaut Safety as NASA Launches to the Moon and to Mars

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center logo. Nov. 30, 2018 In the next decade, NASA aims to launch humankind toward the Moon and on to Mars — a monumental step in crewed space travel. Such a journey is filled with challenges and perils, not unlike those faced by the first explorers to cross the ocean. However, instead of stormy seas, these explorers will set sail amid the hazards of the heliosphere — the magnetic environment emanating out from the Sun and encompassing the solar system. The risks of travelling through this realm ultimately ride on how well we can understand the dynamics therein.

 Moon, Mars and beyond... Image Credit: NASA

“In order to get to Mars, spacecraft and humans will be immersed in the heliosphere and will have to contend with it,” said Terry Onsager, program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. “That environment can be a harsh one, but one we’re ready for.” To safely navigate the heliosphere, NASA scientists and missions have been mapping the region for decades. Recent results, from near-Earth to far across the solar system, are helping us engineer a safe path for future space explorers abroad. Staying Safe En Route to Mars As astronauts leave the protective magnetic bubble around Earth ­— the magnetosphere — they become exposed to damaging energetic particle radiation from the Sun. Continually streaming out from the solar surface, these solar energetic particles, as they are known, can reach levels that can damage electronics and harm living tissue in space.

Animation above: This simulation of a July 14, 2000, coronal mass ejection shows the CME and subsequent solar energetic particles streaming out away from the Sun. The Sun’s magnetic field lines are shown in magenta and white. The flux of protons with energies greater than 50 MeV is shown in color. Animation Credits: Predictive Science Inc./University of New Hampshire/NASA Goddard/Joy Ng. “Periodically, solar eruptions on the Sun’s surface can generate enormous increases in the energetic particle radiation environments, and when that occurs, systems need to be able to handle that,” Onsager said. Spacecraft are being designed with radiation-hardened equipment and safe areas for the astronauts to hide during solar storms -- which can last hours to days. In addition to these protective securities, having a reliable warning system is paramount to astronaut safety. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory — SDO — has kept constant vigil on the Sun for eight years. The images it takes in visible and ultraviolet light allow scientists to continually monitor surface conditions and understand what activity might be roiling just below, ready to emerge. Once an eruption is seen on the Sun’s surface, astronauts can typically be given about a half-hour advance warning before the incoming radiation reaches peak levels. While this provides astronauts with some time to take action, ultimately improvements in space weather forecasting are needed to provide more advanced warning. Improving Space Weather Forecasting Predicting space weather — the billowing solar wind and solar energetic particles it carries — is not unlike terrestrial weather forecasting. It starts with observing the Sun — which SDO and other NASA heliophysics missions do around the clock. Data about the Sun’s activity is then fed into physics-based computer models that make statistical predictions about the probability of a solar eruption. This then allows scientists to give warning when such an event may occur. “Forecasting space weather phenomena, whether at Earth or in deep space, is very, very complex,” said Jingnan Guo, heliophysicist at the University of Kiel in Germany. “We have to consider scales from the Sun-Earth distance — about 93 million miles, at which waves and erupted material propagate across space — to below a few meters, at which scale you see the turbulence and kinematics of the particles.” As of now, our understanding of the complex dynamics at play in the heliosphere is incomplete, making predictions difficult; the best models are still in the early stages of development. Scientists who model space weather depend on NASA’s many heliophysics missions to improve their forecasts. “If you have just a single point observation, it’s very hard to model or even, sometimes, interpret the data. If you have multiple points, than you can constrain your model and make sure the underlying theories are capable of reproducing that event,” said Leila Mays, a space weather scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Last year, a strong solar energetic particle event was observed by multiple NASA missions. The results, which record the first particle event seen at ground level on both Mars and Earth, were recently published in the journal Space Weather. In this event, high-energy particles accelerated by an intensive shock driven by a coronal mass ejection — a violent blast on the solar surface that spews out gas and energetic particles ­— were first detected as they left the Sun with SDO. The scientists used ground-based instruments and models to track how material moved through the heliosphere and to measure their intensity upon reaching Earth and Mars.

The CME Heard 'Round the Solar System

This knowledge of how radiation spreads ultimately helps improve models — giving astronauts more advanced warning of potentially dangerous space weather events. “Although this is the biggest solar energetic particle event we’ve observed on the surface of Mars, it would not have been hazardous for astronauts there,” said Guo, who authored the paper. “However, much larger solar energetic particle events are possible and this event helps us understand what that might look like.” Scientists will continue to study space weather from Earth with ground-based instruments as well as NASA’s heliophysics fleet of spacecraft, but future missions will provide new viewpoints. “Ultimately, more data is needed and we’re hoping to get some from Parker Solar Probe, since it’s going so close to the Sun, where these harmful particles are accelerated to high energies,” Mays said. “We have assumptions of how this acceleration works that go into the models, but measurements from Parker would really help improve our theories.” Already, the Radiation Assessment Detector Instrument aboard the Curiosity Rover has been measuring high-energy radiation on the Martian surface — data that is helping scientists understand how much radiation humans will be exposed to when visiting the red planet. NASA and NOAA’s joint Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Program has been measuring energetic particle measurements for current astronauts since the 1980s. Instruments to study particle radiation will also be aboard future flights and the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway, the proposed outpost to orbit the Moon. “Future deep-space human exploration vehicles provide not only the ability to safeguard the crew onboard, but simultaneously do new scientific experiments,” said Antti Pulkkinen, scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. “They will serve this dual purpose.” These measurements will benefit more than just space weather forecasting. They will also help us understand things closer to home — like the Moon. New Insight at the Moon Returning to the Moon will undoubtedly unlock new doors to understanding our nearest neighbor in space. After all, it wasn’t until we first stepped foot on the Moon that we were able to understand its origins. Today we are still discovering new things and NASA missions like the Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence, and Electrodynamics of Moon’s Interaction with the Sun — ARTEMIS — are uncovering new insights into the Moon’s tenuous atmosphere. The Moon is, in fact, not airless. It has a thin atmospheric layer — the exosphere — composed mainly of hydrogen, helium, neon and argon, extends about a hundred miles above the surface. Mixed on the upper edge of the exosphere is a tenuous and ephemeral secondary layer — the ionosphere — created by sunlight energizing atoms in the exosphere.

Sunlight ionizes a portion of this exosphere, producing an ionosphere roughly one million times weaker than Earth’s.

Using a new technique to analyze data from ARTEMIS, Halekas and his team were able to measure the ionosphere directly. They noted the ionosphere enlarged every full Moon and became coupled with Earth’s ionosphere — meaning charged particles are likely able to travel back and forth between the two bodies’ ionospheres. “The presence of the Moon may actually affect Earth’s magnetosphere,” Halekas said. “It might actually perturb that local environment.” New missions to the Moon would allow the study of the ionosphere and exosphere from the surface, giving us a better understanding of that coupling and how our atmosphere may be linked with the Moon’s. The new results might also help us better understand how atmospheres are created and sustained on small bodies. “The same technique could be applied to lots of other bodies in the solar system, which should have a tenuous atmosphere like the Moon’s,” Halekas said. “This would include: moons around the outer planets, big bodies in the asteroid belt, things in the Kuiper belt, and even objects outside the solar system.” Setting Off with Confidence It is hard to foretell the discoveries that will be made as humankind voyages to the Moon and Mars, though certainly they will be innumerable. What is certain is the starring role heliophysics will play in helping us get there. Studying heliophysics and space weather are invaluable to protecting our astronauts and assets in space. And, undoubtedly, this journey across the solar system will help us uncover new discoveries about the heliosphere we call home, making the roads of space safer for future generations of space explorers.
