title: Finn-men

text:
Finn-men, also known as, Muckle men, Fion and Fin Finn, were Inuit sighted around the Northern Isles of Scotland.

Sightings
The first recorded sighting was in Orkney, in 1682. James Wallace, writing in about 1688, described a Finn-man in his "little Boat" at the south end of Eday being seen by the people of the island from the shore, and then fleeing swiftly when the islanders put out a boat to try and apprehend him. In 1684, a Finn-man seen at Westray was connected with the disappearance of fish from the area. A boat was captured in Orkney, and sent to the Physicians Hall in Edinburgh.

Origins
The "Finn-men" were initially identified as "Finns", an umbrella term used in the local language of the Orcadians to denote either Sami, Kven or Forest Finns. However, these "Finn-men" were in fact Inuit from the Davis Strait region, a fact recognised by Wallace. As it was considered more probable that they had sailed to the islands from the Cap of the North, the misnomer persisted nonetheless, possibly due to certain phonological similarities between the Greenlandic language spoken by the kayakers and the Finnic languages.

Wallace's eldest son James added a note to a 1700 publication of his father's account, suggesting they had been driven off course to Scotland by storms. The most likely reason for their arrival is that they were escaped prisoners, having been taken by European ships as exotic curiosities. Such was the concern about this practice that in 1720 the States General of the Netherlands passed a law prohibiting the murder or kidnapping of Inuit.

Description
John Brand, in A Brief Description of Orkney, described a sighting of a Finn-man.

Artefacts
Kayaks belonging to Finn-men are preserved in Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

Mythology
The Finn-men were grafted onto the existing mythologies that surrounded the selkies and Finfolk, to the point that both creatures may have both been the same in folklore. Their appearance was interpreted in terms of those traditions.

Related media
The history of the Finnmen is discussed in the Red Bull TV series Explorers in the episode  "Journey of the Finnmen".

title: Muhammad Muqeem Khan Khoso

text:
Sardar Muhammad Muqeem Khan Khoso (12 October 194917 April 2016; Urdu:سردار محمد مقیم خان کھوسو) was a Pakistani politician and the Chief Sardar of Khoso tribe. He was elected as a Member of National Assembly of Pakistan from his hometown constituency of NA-156 Jacobabad-I in 1988. He was also the Sindh provincial minister for fisheries in the 2007 caretaker government. At the time of his death on 17 April 2016, he was a Member of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh from PS-14 (Jacobabad-II) on the ticket of Pakistan Peoples Party.[[

Political career
He started his political career by joining Jamaat-e-Islami. He contested the party-less 1985 Pakistani general election and was elected a Member of Sindh Assembly. After joining Pakistan Peoples Party, he contested the 1988 general election from the NA-156 Jacobabad-I constituency, and defeated heavyweights such as former Chief Minister of Balochistan Mir Taj Muhammad Jamali and the former Speaker of National Assembly Ilahi Bux Soomro.

During the 1990 general elections, Khoso was declared ineligible after a recount on the application of Soomro, who himself was declared the winner. Khoso was then made a district president of the PPP.

During the 2001 local bodies elections during the Musharraf regime, he was not awarded tickets to contest elections for the district nazim and naib zila nazim posts. Therefore, he left PPP and contested as an independent candidate. He was defeated by Shabbir Bijarani.

Khoso then created his own party and named it Samaji Inqilabi Mahaz. Later, it was absorbed into Pakistan Muslim League (Q).

Khoso became the provincial minister for fisheries in the caretaker set-up of Sindh cabinet under Muhammad Mian Soomro. He later made a public announcement to rejoin PPP during a public meeting held in Jacobabad on 21 December 2007.

In the 2013 Pakistani general election, he was elected as MPA of PPP from PS-14 (Jacobabad-II) after a recount in which he was deemed to have received 15,838 votes. He was a member of the assembly’s standing committees on culture, tourism and antiquities, forest, wildlife, environment, and irrigation at the time of his death.

Death
On 17 April 2016, Khoso died of liver disease at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi. The Sindh Assembly session, which was to take place the next day, was adjourned for 24 hours to mourn his death. Before the adjournment, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Nisar Khuhro recalled his political and social services for the people of Jacobabad.

He was survived by four daughters, two sons, and three wives. His funeral was held at Qadirpur, his native village which is located in the suburbs of Jacobabad, and was attended by former Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali as well as several MNAs and MPAs from the Pakistan Peoples Party. He was laid to rest in his family graveyard.

title: E-flux

text:
e-flux is a publishing platform and archive, artist project, curatorial platform, and e-mail service founded in 1998. The arts news digests, events, exhibitions, schools, journal, books, and art projects produced and/or disseminated by e-flux describe strains of critical discourse surrounding contemporary art, culture, and theory internationally. Its monthly publication, e-flux journal, has produced essays commissioned since 2008 about cultural, political, and structural paradigms that inform contemporary artistic production.

History
In November 1998, curators Regine Basha and Christoph Gerozisses, along with artist Anton Vidokle organized the group exhibition The Best Surprise is No Surprise at the Holiday Inn in Chinatown, Manhattan. Basha, Gerozisses, and Vidokle used e-mail, then a new communication technology, to disseminate the press release for the 12-hour, all-night exhibition. The exhibition featured works by Tomoko Takahashi, Michel Auder, and Carsten Nicolai. The e-mailed press release attracted the attendance of hundreds of guests to the show. Acknowledging the potential of e-mail as a tool for the dissemination of information among arts communities, Vidokle launched e-flux one month later.

As e-flux's readership grew to more than 20,000 international artists, curators, and critics from 1998 through 2003, e-flux was based in a one-room apartment at 344A Greenwich Street, New York City, where work on e-flux was combined with experimental exhibitions such as Infra-Slim. In 2003, the artist Julieta Aranda began collaborating with Vidokle on e-flux.

In 2008, e-flux moved to a storefront at 41 Essex Street in New York, where they hosted New York Conversations. Also in 2008, Brian Kuan Wood joined Aranda and Vidokle as an editor of e-flux journal.

In 2011, e-flux relocated its activities to 311 East Broadway in New York's Lower East Side. The three floors encompassed an exhibition space, offices, and an event space. In addition to the daily operations of e-flux and e-flux journal, the location accommodated a year-round exhibition and programming schedule that was accessible to the public free of charge.

As of December 2021, e-flux operates out of a space in 172 Classon Avenue in Brooklyn. The e-flux Screening Room hosts a series of film screenings.

Projects
In 2003, e-flux launched The Next Documenta Should Be Curated By An Artist, a project curated by Jens Hoffmann, which featured reflections of a group of artists upon the conditions of the relationship between artists and curators.

EVR (e-flux video rental) (2004–present) is a video archive, a projection space, and a free video rental. The project was conceived in 2004 and was subsequently presented at various locations around the world, with the inventory of videos continuously increasing with selections made by local curators, artists, and critics. Currently, the project archive comprises over 950 videos. In 2010, the artists donated e-flux video rental to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (Ljubljana) where it is on permanent display.

In 2007, Julieta Aranda in collaboration with the unitednationsplaza program in Berlin, invited the artist Ricardo Valentim to present his work Film Festival. This two-month-long screening series (January 19 through March 9, 2007) included a selection of educational films commissioned by the United Nations and the US Department of Education in addition to other agencies in the 1950s through the 1980s. The reels, purchased by Valentim on eBay, included "documentaries about indigenous African peoples, historical figures, and natural phenomena that exemplify Western visions of the world from the postwar period until the `80s, demonstrating how the ideological apparatus of the state builds a biased image of reality."

In 2007, after having seen Donald Judd's library in Marfa, Texas, Vidokle asked Martha Rosler if he could borrow and install her personal library at e-flux as a public reading room. Comprising more than 7,000 volumes selected from the books at Martha Rosler's residence and studio in Brooklyn and academic office in New Jersey, the Martha Rosler Library was accessible for public use at e-flux's Ludlow Street location in New York City and then traveled to art organizations throughout Europe.

Originally established by artists Julieta Aranda and Anton Vidokle in New York in 2008, with an inventory of 60 works by invited artists Pawnshop, which operated as a pawnbroker, but using art as collateral, went bankrupt at the beginning of the world financial crises, only to re-open successfully in Beijing, Art Basel, and at the third Thessaloniki Biennial in 2011. Both an exhibition and an artwork in itself, Pawnshop mediates the complex choreography of art and money. As a functional pawnshop, it has an inventory of over 100 art works, some made specifically for this occasion. Contributing artists include: Armando Andrade Tudela, Michel Auder, Michael Baers, Luis Berríos-Negrón, Marc Bijl, Andrea Büttner, Joseph Grigely, K8 Hardy, Annika Larsson, Ken Lum, Gustav Metzger, Bernardo Ortiz, Olivia Plender, Julia Scher, Tino Sehgal, and Bik Van der Pol, among others.

Initiated in 2010, Time/Bank is a network with branches in eleven cities, where time currency (designed by Lawrence Weiner) can be obtained in exchange for other currencies: biological time, ideas, services, and commodities. Time/Bank proposes an alternative economy in which individuals and groups in the cultural fields can trade time, skills, and commodities to get things done while circumventing money. As critic Jessica Loudis explained, "By sticking 60 indisputably valuable artworks in a pawnshop, e-flux forced a clash between contradictory models of value, momentarily transforming a holding cell for unwanted or useless but valuable goods into a kind of gallery space. With the distance between goods and capital ever increasing—or at least, goods and our ability to value them—Time/Bank picks up where Pawnshop leaves off, creating a nearly closed system that’s pegged entirely to use value.” One iteration of Time/Bank has been Time/Food, which took place at Abrons Arts Center in New York in 2011. Time/Bank has appeared as an exhibition and outpost at dOCUMENTA (13), Portikus, and elsewhere.

After moving to 311 East Broadway, e-flux maintained its exhibition program, inaugurating the new space with shows of work by Hito Steyerl and Adam Curtis and on the topic of animism, among other things.

In 2018, e-flux partnered with MoMA to produce an evening of discussions on cosmism. The event came as a result of a growing interest in cosmism by e-flux founder Anton Vidokle and e-flux journal contributors Boris Groys, Hito Steyerl, Arseny Zhilyaev, and others.

e-flux began hosting exhibitions again in December 2018, with a show organized as part of a years-long project about Hubert Fichte initiated by Haus der Kulturen der Welt and Goethe-Institut. The iteration of the project shown at e-flux was produced in partnership with Participant, Inc. Since 2018, e-flux exhibitions have highlighted work by Metahaven, Goldin+Senneby, the Rojava Film Commune, and others.

Publications
e-flux publications began in 2008 with the first issue of e-flux journal, edited by Julieta Aranda, Brian Kuan Wood and Anton Vidokle. The publishing platform has since expanded to include a joint imprint with Sternberg Press. Select issues of the journal and reader are marked by public events and projects initiated by the editorial collective, including SUPERCOMMUNITY, an editorial project by e-flux journal commissioned by Okwui Enwezor for the 56th Venice Biennale.

e-flux journal celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2019 with a series of conferences held in Rotterdam, Paris, Berlin, and New York.

Conversations
In 2014, e-flux launched e-flux conversations, "a new platform for in-depth discussions of artistic and social ideas." The shifting team of editorial contributors includes artists, philosophers, journalists, gardeners, documentarians, designers, architects, politicians, and conspiracy theorists. In a telephone interview with Andrew Russeth for ARTnews, Editor/Moderator of e-flux conversations Karen Archey said: "It’s a very experimental platform, and it really came out of us being avid social media users and wanting to talk about art… There are also no archiving tools for conversations about art on Facebook, which actually sometimes are extremely important." She cited the 2014 debate over Donelle Woolford as one prime example. "There’s no way we can get that back now," she said.

Select conversations have featured Hito Steyerl, Mary Walling Blackburn, Coco Fusco, Nina Power, Brian Kuan Wood, and Charles Esche.

Podcast
Since 2018, e-flux has published a bi-monthly podcast. Episodes have featured artists and writers including McKenzie Wark, Elizabeth Povinelli, Masha Gessen, Simone White, Kader Attia, Franco Berardi, and The Wooster Group, among others.

title: William Edward Trent

text:
William Edward Trent (1874 - 1948) was a British architect.

Early life
His cousin was the sculptor and medallist Newbury Abbot Trent.

Career
Together with Henry Poston, to whom he was apprenticed, and then his assistant, he was the architect for the Earl of Essex, a Grade II listed public house at 616 Romford Road, Manor Park, London, built in 1902.

Having been articled to Henry Poston of Lombard Street, London in 1892, he remained with Poston as his assistant until he started an independent practice in London in 1905.

From 1909, Trent specialised in cinema design. This led to his appointment first as the chief architect to Provincial Cinematograph Theatres (PCT), and then as architect to the Gaumont British Picture Corporation, which took over PCT in 1929. These cinemas/theatres included the Regent Theatre, Ipswich, Apollo Victoria Theatre and the Gaumont Finchley (1937), designed with the assistance of his son W. Sydney Trent and R. Golding.

Personal life
His son William Sydney Trent (1903-1944) was also an architect. When his father became a full-time employee of PCT, his son took over his private practice, retaining him as a consultant. However, he joined Gaumont British in 1932 to help his father with the huge increase in work with the advent of talking pictures.

title: Manuel Bennett

text:
Manuel Bennett (October 13, 1921 – June 17, 2022) was an American artist.

Bennett was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 13, 1921. He moved to Mexico City, Mexico, in 1951 under the Montgomery GI Bill to study at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda" under the muralists Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, the landscapist Dr. Atl and the sculptor Francisco Zúñiga.

Following in the tradition of his contemporaries in Mexico, the Taller de Gráfica Popular, Bennett produced mostly lithographic prints, though he also produced sculpture, which can be found in the collection of the Yeshiva University Museum.

Early in his career, Bennett played a major role in publication of the Codex Bodley Mixtec manuscripts, providing all of the color separation and capture necessary to reproduce the ancient piece.

Bennett produced public art for the cities of Encinitas, California, El Paso, Texas, Irvine, California, Hondo and Hiroshima in Japan. He also donated sculpture for awards for humanitarians including the American Heart Association.

Bennett served in the United States Army during World War II. He died on June 17, 2022, at the age of 100.

title: Manske–Niemann Farm

text:
The Manske–Niemann Farm is a historic  farm complex located at 13 Franks Lane near Litchfield, Illinois. The farm was most likely established in the 1850s and was purchased by German immigrant Michael Manske in 1863. Manske and his family developed and expanded the farm in three main stages. The first stage, completed in the 1860s and 1870s, included the original I-house, horse barn, and smokehouse. In the 1890s, the family added a granary, corncrib, cow barn, and other buildings to the farm, representing shifts in the farm's crops and livestock. An expansion in the first two decades of the 20th century included a third barn, numerous animal sheds and feed buildings, and structures needed for the mechanization of the farm, such as a gas pump and car shed. The farm remains in the Manske–Niemann family and was owned by Michael Manske's great-great-granddaughter Ophelia Niemann as of 2002; it is a well-preserved example of a German immigrant farmstead.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 2003.

title: Anomaly (Lecrae album)

text:
Anomaly is the seventh studio album by American Christian hip hop artist Lecrae, released on September 9, 2014, through Reach Records. The album features appearances from Crystal Nicole, Kari Jobe, and For King & Country, along with label-mate Andy Mineo. Anomaly met with a positive critical reception, and the song "Nuthin", released for streaming as a single on July 1, 2014, was nominated for the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards in the best Impact Track category. The album also fared well commercially, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 88,000 copies sold. It also debuted at No. 1 on the Top Gospel Albums chart, marking the first time that any artist has ever topped both the 200 and Gospel charts. Anomaly won Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year at the 2015 GMA Dove Awards, and Rap, Hip Hop Gospel CD of the Year at the 2015 Stellar Awards. Two songs earned a nomination for the 2015 Grammy Awards; "All I Need Is You" was nominated for Best Rap Performance, and "Messengers", featuring For King & Country, which won Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.

Background

Anomaly is the seventh studio album by Lecrae, and follows up his 2013 mix-tape Church Clothes 2 and 2012 studio album Gravity. Gravity debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, selling over 72,000 copies during its first week, and won both Best Gospel Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards and Best Rap/Hip Hop Album at the 2013 Dove Awards. The commercial version of Church Clothes 2 debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard 200, selling over 15,000 copies, while the free version was downloaded over 150,000 times on Datpiff.com.

Lecrae revealed that he had considered collaborating with Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Elle Varner and Nipsey Hu$$le, but eventually decided to work on his own. He said "it feels like a first album because it's just me being me and giving my own perspective". Lecrae worked with several producers including Gawvi, Tyshane, Ace Harris and Alex Medina. He also worked with Symbolyc One (S1) and Track a Dot. He described the production as "not just simple beats, a couple singles have that going on, but for the most part, it's really intricate."

Promotion

In May 2014, Reach Records held two limited pre-release listening sessions, one session at Stonecrest Mall in Atlanta, Georgia and another at Strght and Nrrw in Jacksonville, Florida for the song "Nuthin'" from Lecrae's upcoming album, the title of which at that time had yet to be revealed. On June 3, 2014, Lecrae announced the title of the album, Anomaly, as well as the album's release date, then set as August 2014. He said: "Conceptually, it’s about how I deviate from the norm just being a product of Hip-Hop, but yet staying true to who I am and what I’m about, even though the culture is going its own route. It's saying 'Man, I don't care. I'll be different'. Lecrae began a trending hashtag with the album's name, allowing people to express their own story and individuality, ending their short pieces with the hashtag "#Anomaly". The likes of Lakers' point guard Jeremy Lin and Oakland Raiders' defensive end Justin Tuck have contributed to this growing social media campaign. Lecrae explained their involvement:
On June 20, Lecrae unveiled the artwork of the album, which shows the face of the rapper in 3D. In July, Lecrae tweeted that the album's release would be pushed back to September 9, and unveiled the track listing. On July 22, Lecrae released a video explaining the album's title.

Concerts and touring

On September 18, 2014, Lecrae was a guest on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where he performed several times throughout the show with The Roots.

Lecrae launched the Anomaly tour in support of the album, accompanied by Andy Mineo and DJ Promote. Started on October 3, 2014, the tour ran through November 21, stopping at 30 cities throughout the United States. It included a stop in Phoenix, Arizona, at the annual charity concert Bubba's Bash, sponsored by golfer Bubba Watson, which featured, in addition to Lecrae and his tour roster, the artists Britt Nicole, Thi'sl, Fedel, and Judah Smith. The tour met with such success that three more stops were added before it concluded on November 21. In January 2015, Lecrae announced a second leg of the tour that started in April 2015.

Reception

Critics viewed Anomaly very favorably. David Jeffries, writing for AllMusic, rated the album four stars out of five, concluding that "Crafty and smart man, Lecrae, and with Anomaly following a series of albums equally crafted and smart, he now enters the hallowed halls of the consistent with all his charisma intact."

Writing for Vibe, Juan Vidal positively reviewed the album: "On his newest offering, Anomaly, Lecrae sounds more aware than ever. Aware of his place and of the stories he's been charged to tell. Immediately, he establishes himself as an outsider who doesn't quite fit in anywhere, treading the thin grey line between the sacred and secular. Over heavy synths and sharp, cracking drums, he flexes with a newfound lyrical prowess. [...] Lecrae's fast-paced flow does the work of complementing many of the bursting choruses, which are bigger and more pronounced than they've been on any of his previous releases. And much can be said about his voice this time around, which he's learned to stretch and manipulate to great effect."

Rachel Chesbrough of XXL noted that Lecrae's "ability to tell a story is on point, his delivery never falters once, and his detailed wordplay, however literal, does acrobatics in terms of rhyme scheme. Anomaly may not entirely break out of its niche, but it’s objectively admirable, and his already established fan base will love it."

The Christian Post reporter Vincent Funaro wrote: "Lecrae certainly shows growth on this album lyrically and seems to have perfected the writing style he began with the original Church Clothes mixtape, moving away from Christian theology and closer to content that people from all walks of life can relate to. He seems comfortable in his new space and raps more as a person following Christ in this world, rather than a Christian rapper."

Christina Lee of Creative Loafing (Atlanta) described the album as "an underdog story". "Anomaly truly comes alive when Lecrae dives into specifics. [The album] makes Lecrae's journey to salvation seem wholly personal. Thanks to his passion, people are bound to keep rooting for him, no matter what their beliefs may be."

On behalf of New Release Tuesday, Dwayne Lacy wrote how Lecrae "continues to bring the 'heat' and grow as an artist."

Writing for Indie Vision Music, Anthony Peronto described how "Anomaly is filled with both the experimental and the emotional."

The Washington Post noted that "what makes Anomaly so well, anomalous, is its subject matter. Verses about abortion, freedom, fear, marriage — even the artist’s own experience with molestation — flow from Lecrae with alacrity and purpose." Deborah Jane of Music Is My Oxygen gave the album four out of five stars and commented that "This guy is fresh. Raw. Genuine. Phenomenal. He's currently battling for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts – and it's obvious why."

Accolades

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of over 88,000 copies in the United States, which earned Lecrae his first and only No. 1 album on the chart. Anomaly was also the first album by any artist to top both the Billboard 200 and the Gospel Albums chart. Lecrae also became the fifth artist following Chris Tomlin (2013), TobyMac (2012), LeAnn Rimes (1997) and Bob Carlisle (1997) to score a number one album on both Christian Albums and the Billboard 200. Anomaly also marks the sixth time that Lecrae topped the Gospel Albums chart and the fifth time he topped the Christian Albums chart. In its second week of sales, the album sold 27,000 copies, bringing the total to 115,000 copies sold. In its third week of sales, the album sold another 17,000 copies, bringing the total to 137,000 copies. By January 2015, the album sold 240,000 copies.

title: Clipping (band)

text:
Clipping (stylized as clipping.) is an American experimental hip hop group from Los Angeles, California. The group consists of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes.

History
Diggs and Hutson met in grade school, and Hutson and Snipes were college roommates. The group began in 2009 as a remix project, with Hutson and Snipes taking a cappellas of mainstream rap artists and making power electronics and noise remixes of them to amuse themselves. Diggs joined in 2010 and began to write his own raps over their compositions. They self-released their debut mixtape, midcity, on their website on February 5, 2013. Though their expectations were low, and despite minimal promotion, the album was well-received, and five months later, they signed to Sub Pop. Their first album, CLPPNG, was released on June 10, 2014.

The group does not see their abrasive sound as a rejection of mainstream hip hop or reaction against it, but as part of a hip hop tradition, including the likes of Dr. Dre and Public Enemy producers The Bomb Squad, who experimented with production and also used harsh, musique concrète-esque techniques in their music. Similarly, they think of themselves as a rap group rather than industrial-rap, noise-rap, or other mash-up genres.

On June 14, 2016, they released an EP, Wriggle. They then released their second studio album, Splendor & Misery, later on September 9. A science fiction concept album, Splendor & Misery was nominated for the 2017 Hugo Awards in the category of "Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form)" on April 4, 2017.

In 2017, the group released a single, "The Deep". The song was nominated for a Hugo Award in 2018, their second consecutive nomination in the "Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form)" category.

On September 28, 2018, the group's song "Stab Him in the Throat" was released as part of The Rick and Morty Soundtrack. This album was released by Sub Pop and Adult Swim and featured songs from episodes of Rick and Morty.

On August 14, 2019, the group released a lyric video to YouTube for a new song titled "Nothing Is Safe", which borrowed heavily from the aesthetics of 1970s and '80s horror films like Halloween and the soundtrack works of John Carpenter. This was coupled with the announcement that their third full-length record, There Existed an Addiction to Blood, would be released on October 18 of the same year.

On September 12, 2019, a second lyric video was released to YouTube to promote There Existed an Addiction to Blood. The track, titled "La Mala Ordina" featured guest appearances from rappers Elcamino and Benny the Butcher, with additional production from noise artist The Rita.

On October 3, 2019, a music video for the track "Blood of the Fang" was released to YouTube to promote There Existed an Addiction to Blood.

On November 29, 2019, the band released a three-song EP further exploring the world of "The Deep". The EP was also further developed into a novel of the same name by writer Rivers Solomon; the members of clipping. are listed as co-authors. The Deep won the Lambda Literary Award for science fiction, and was nominated for Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards.

On June 19, 2020, they released the track "Chapter 319" on Bandcamp, along with a previously SoundCloud-only track "Knees on the Ground", with all proceeds from the sales donated to organizations dedicated to racial justice. "Chapter 319" was recorded during the protests after the murder of George Floyd, while "Knees on the Ground" was originally recorded after the shooting of Michael Brown in 2014.

On August 26, 2020, they announced the album Visions of Bodies Being Burned, a companion piece to There Existed an Addiction to Blood; they also released the single "Say the Name" on the same day. The album was released on October 23 through Sub Pop.

On November 1, 2020, on their YouTube channel, they livestreamed a performance of the first variation of the socialist anthem The People United Will Never Be Defeated! – playing on a tape recorder, under a small flame, on loop, with the picture slowly distorting – until the 2020 United States presidential election was called. The performance was for a movement called "#BeginWithTheBallot" by Alarm Will Sound.

On December 4, 2020, Daveed Diggs released a video in partnership with the Disney Channel entitled "Puppy for Hanukkah". The track was produced by clipping. bandmates Hutson and Snipes. On December 25, 2020, a music video for the track "Piano Burning" was released to YouTube to promote There Existed an Addiction to Blood.

On September 21, 2022, the band announced and released the first of a series of four remix EPs to be released every Wednesday through October 12 via Sub Pop. The first, Remxng 2.1, features remixing artists including Loraine James, Bogdan Raczynski, and Lauren Bousfield.

Style and influences
The group has drawn comparisons to the likes of Dälek, Death Grips, My Bloody Valentine, Tim Hecker and Shabazz Palaces. The Guardian described their sound as "the sort of shrill thrills you imagine could function as incidental soundtrack music for a documentary about abattoirs or might conceivably be the work of a young band intent on twisting industrial metal into brutal new shapes. With rapping on top." Rolling Stone called them "[n]imble-tongued, beat-fractured L.A. hip-hop spilled over the abrasive crunches, squeals, clangs, slurps, and static of experimental musique concrète."

As part of their experimental style, the band adhere to certain stylistic limitations. Their instrumentation is derived from real world samples (e.g. using recordings of bottles being hit or bricks breaking) instead of traditional instruments. Similarly, Diggs writes his rap in second or third person, all 'I, me' language is off limits. This restriction is not extended to guests and collaborators.

title: Newnham (Old)

text:
Newnham (since circa 1718 Old Newnham) in the parish of Plympton St Mary in Devon is a historic estate long held by the Devonshire gentry family of Strode. The ancient mansion house is situated 1 mile north-east of St Mary's Church, beside the Smallhanger Brook, a tributary of the Tory Brook, itself flowing into the River Plym. The house was abandoned by the Strode family in about 1700 when they built a new mansion on the site of Loughtor Manor House, about 1/3 mile to the north-east of Old Newnham.

Monuments to the Strode family survive  in St Mary's Church, Plympton, including the canopied stone effigy of Richard Strode (d.1464), showing a recumbent knight clad in armour. The mural monument of William II Strode (d.1637) and his family shows him kneeling with his  two wives on either side and ten children below. The kneeling effigy mural monument to his daughter Ursula Strode, the wife of Sir John III Chichester of Hall, North Devon, survives in Bishop's Tawton Church. A notable member of this family and William II Strode's second son was the parliamentarian Sir William Strode (1594–1645), one of the Five Members whom King Charles I attempted to arrest in the House of Commons in 1642. In 1538 following the Dissolution of the Monasteries the Strode family purchased the demesne lands of Plympton Priory the second wealthiest monastery in Devon, and thus greatly expanded their estate. The Parliamentary Rotten Borough of Plympton Erle (abolished following the Reform Act of 1832) was controlled by the Strode family and the Treby family of Plympton House, and thus several Members of Parliament for the borough were members of these two families or were nominated by them.

Descent of estate

de Plympton
According to the Devon historian Sir William Pole (d.1635) the descent of the estate of Newnham was as follows:
Simon de Plimton, in residence during the reign of King Edward I (1272–1307)
John de Plimton, in residence in 1314

de Newenham

Simon de Newenham (son of John de Plimton), who took the surname de Newenham. He married Cicely de Doddescombe, one of the five daughters and co-heiress of John de Doddescombe (fl. temp. King Edward III (1327–1377)) of Doddescombe Leigh and Compton Pole.
John de Newenham (son)
Simon de Newenham (son)
Melior de Newenham (daughter and heiress), who married John Strode of Strode in the parish of Ermington in Devon, to which family thus passed the estate of Newnham.

Strode

The de Strode family originated at the estate
of Strode in the parish of Ermington in Devon, from which they took their surname. Today's Strode Farmhouse incorporates traces of the ancient former mansion house of the Strodes.

Strode of Strode
The ancestry of the Strode family of Strode is recorded by Pole as follows:
Adam de Strode was in residence during the reign of King Henry III (1216–1272) and was one of the gentlemen of Devon summoned by royal herald to attend King Edward I (1272–1307) in his Scottish wars.
Roger de Strode

John I de Strode
Reginald de Strode, who  married Florence
John II de Strode (son), who during the reign of King Henry IV (1399–1413) married Melior de Newnham, heiress of Newnham. The Strodes thenceforth made Newnham their principal residence, although they were still in possession of  the estate of Strode in the early 17th century.

Strode of Newnham
The descent of the Strode family of Newnham is as follows:

Thus Loughtor passed into the possession of the Strode family. The mansion house of the estate of Loughtor was situated within the parish of Plympton St Mary, on a hill about 1/3 mile north-east of Newnham, and to this site the Strode family later moved its residence, where in about 1700 a new mansion house was built near or on the site of Loughtor House and named "Newnham Park", which survives today. The Courtenay family of Molland were a junior branch of the Courtenay family of Powderham, itself a junior branch of the Courtenay Earls of Devon, feudal barons of Plympton and feudal barons of Okehampton, seated at Tiverton Castle. The canopied effigy of William Courtenay of Loughtor survives, in a mutilated state, in St Mary's Church, Plympton. The 6th son of William III Strode (1512–1579) was Rev.

Let to tenants

Following the removal of Sidney II Strode (1684–1721) to Loughtor ("Newnham Park"), Old Newnham was let to tenants. In 1797 Rev John Swete visited Old Newnham, which he painted in watercolour, and made the following entry in his travel journal, having just visited Newnham Park:
"Reluctantly therefore quitting a scenery so very picturesque I returned by the mill to the public road on which I had rode but a short way when from a rising of a hill I had a prospect of an old mansion in a bottom on the left, its appearance was exceedingly antique, of the architecture which subsisted two or three centuries past. In a guess that I made as to this edifice being Old Newnham, I found from the information gained from a labourer, that I was right...This mansion, the remains of which even now were respectable...The pile of buildings was large and apparently constructed at different periods. It was now inhabited, and had been for a considerable time, by a farmer who rented part of the demesne and much of it seem'd in a state of dilapidation. Having from within a gate of the courtyard taken hastily the foregoing sketch, I proceeded toward Cornwood..."

Old Newnham in 2014
In 2014 Old Newnham House, having been converted into two residences, is in multiple ownership. The landed estate however forms part of the 1,550 acre estate of Newnham Park, formerly Loughtor. Part of the land now forms the Newnham Industrial Estate, a few hundred yards to the west of Old Newnham House. In 2014 Newnham Park mansion house and estate are still owned by a descendant of the Strode family, via female lines, in the person of David Michael Strode Cobbald (born 1961), who operates the estate as a clay-pigeon shooting ground and benefits from various mineral mines on the estate.

title: Alan Moller

text:
Alan Roger Moller (February 1, 1950 – June 19, 2014) was an American meteorologist, storm chaser, nature and landscape photographer known for advancing spotter training and bridging operational meteorology (particularly severe storms forecasting) with research.

Early years
Moller was born in Fort Worth, Texas on February 1, 1950, grew up in the South Hills section of Fort Worth, and attended R. L. Paschal High School. He studied meteorology at the University of Oklahoma (OU) where he earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He made a career as a forecaster at the National Weather Service (NWS).

Storm prediction pioneer
Moller was influential in developing the national Skywarn storm spotter training program, he produced, appeared in, and provided photography for its training film Tornadoes: A Spotter's Guide (1977) and its training video Storm Watch (1995), and he collaboratively developed the concept of the "integrated warning system". He was influential in developing new spotter training materials in the 1970s that were used nationally and he continued to refine training materials and techniques throughout his career. Moller intensively trained spotters in his NWS office area of responsibility in North Texas as well as around the country by way of frequent speaking engagements. Himself an amateur radio operator, he was enthusiastic at the ground truth information provided via amateur radio.

Moller believed that storm chasing was important in providing field experience for spotter trainers as well for forecasting convective weather. He viewed chasing as an important avenue in providing imagery illustrating storm processes for spotter training and public preparedness. Moller passionately photographed storms and skyscapes, actively shared this imagery, and was also a noted nature and landscape photographer. Moller began chasing as a graduate student of OU and was a participant in the first organized scientific storm chasing projects, such as the NSSL/OU Tornado Intercept Project, in the early 1970s. He was a forecaster for Project VORTEX in 1994–1995.

Moller participated in major pieces of media coverage regarding forecasting storms and storm spotting and chasing. He was an important contributor to Storm Track magazine and wrote or co-wrote dozens of scientific journal articles, conference papers, and monograph chapters. Moller was a fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). The Texas Severe Storms Association (TESSA) made a formal tribute to Moller upon his retirement and established the Alan R. Moller Severe Weather Education and Research Scholarship a few years prior to his death.

Personal life
Moller contracted early-onset Alzheimer's disease and died of complications thereof on June 19, 2014, aged 64. Moller enjoyed drag racing and fast cars, baseball, travel, western art, barbecue, and blues music.

title: Imperial distillery

text:
Imperial distillery was a producer of single malt Scotch whisky located in Carron, Speyside that operated sporadically between 1897 and 1998. Imperial was mothballed and reopened several times in its hundred-year history. The only official bottling was a 15-year expression, released in the mid 1990s. The distillery was demolished in 2013 and a new distillery, Dalmunach, established on the site in 2015.

title: Vancouver Fire Department (Washington)

text:
The Vancouver Fire Department (VFD) provides fire protection and emergency medical services to the city of Vancouver and, by contract, Clark County Fire District 5, in Washington, United States. The VFD's  response area is  with a population of over 288,000 (2021). The VFD has the highest call volume per firefighter in the state. ALS (advanced life support, or paramedic-staffed) transport is provided by AMR, making the VFD's service area population by far the largest in Western Washington without public ALS ambulance service.

History

The Vancouver Fire Department (VFD) was officially founded on January 1, 1867, when an ordinance was passed by the City Council organizing a fire department for the city. The motivation for the formation of the department came in August 1866 when a fire started in a furniture store and, in less than an hour, destroyed eight buildings.

Operations

Fire and EMS Response
An engine company is the standard multi-purpose response resource for each VFD first-due zone (station area). Engines carry water, hose, a full complement of emergency medical equipment, as well as a variety of other tools and equipment.

VFD has 2 truck companies (aka ladder trucks) that are housed alongside engine companies. VFD truck companies carry a full complement of ground ladders and a 100 ft. aerial ladder, along with other structure-fire-specific tools. They are also the primary technical rescue companies, carrying patient extrication equipment, forcible entry equipment, and other special equipment. Both VFD trucks are tractor-drawn aerials (TDAs) and do not carry water. They are the only fully-staffed truck companies in all of Clark County.

March 2023 NOTE- A third truck company, using a mid-mount platform apparatus, is expected to enter service at Station 8 in 2025.

VFD engine companies are staffed 24/7 with 3 members minimum, and truck companies are staffed with 4 members minimum. Each engine company and truck company is supervised by a Captain (who is counted as part of the 3 or 4 person unit)

All VFD engine companies and truck companies are Advanced Life Support (ALS) units. Every firefighter, Captain and Battalion Chief is certified to either the EMT-Basic or EMT-Paramedic level. The department's daily minimum on-duty staffing is 43, including 2 BCs. More than 80% of the department's annual call volume is EMS-related. Because of the geographic distribution of VFD fire stations (usually affording far quicker response times than AMR), the fire companies provide primary ALS treatment until the AMR transport unit arrives.

March 2023 NOTE- Starting in July of 2023, two-person ALS Squad companies will be staffed 24/7/365  at Stations 2 and 9, with a third Squad following. (likely at Station 6) These are light, fast, multi-purpose companies: Type 6 wildland engines that also carry ALS medical gear. Part of Proposition 2's funding increase, they are intended to improve response times and reduce wear-and-tear on the engines with which they share quarters. When all three Squads are in service, minimum daily staffing will rise to 49. The addition of Truck 8 will raise minimum daily staffing to 53.

All staffed VFD companies (and most of the other fire companies in Clark County) are dispatched via AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location), a GPS-based feature of the regional computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. The closest company(s) of a CAD-recommended type is automatically sent to an incident, regardless of jurisdiction. (CRESA 911 is the PSAP and dispatch agency for the VFD, the remainder of Clark County, and portions of Cowlitz and Skamania Counties)

Vancouver's heavy rescue, hazardous materials, fire boat, rehab and air units,  as well as all water tenders and brush engines, are not normally staffed. They can be cross-staffed by their co-housed engine or truck crew when needed. (Exception- Fireboat 1 is housed several miles distant from Engine 3, the company that responds to staff it, when they are available)

The combined City of Vancouver/Fire District 5 response area is split into two geographic battalions (Battalion 1: East, Battalion 2: West). Each battalion is managed by a Battalion Chief (BC) working a 24/48 schedule. At present, each BC supervises 5 or 6 stations and their respective companies.

A Battalion Chief (BC) serves as the incident commander (IC) for all complex, multi-company operations. Both BCs respond to every structure fire incident to fill IC and other roles. A BC also normally responds with Vancouver companies that are dispatched to complex incidents outside of the VFD response area. They provide additional command staff assistance at those incidents.

For very large incidents, the VFD can request the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) mobile command post unit. VPD's acquisition of this unit allowed the VFD to discontinue maintenance and operation of its own command post unit.

Specialty Teams
Technical Rescue: Heavy Rescue 5 and a Clark Co. FD 6 multi-purpose vehicle (TRT 61) make up the Clark County Technical Rescue Team fleet. The team is composed of members from both departments, as well as from other agencies within Clark County. HR5 can be cross-staffed by members of E5 and/or T5 (when available) for initial deployment. This team is a regional asset.

Hazardous Materials: Engine 10 serves as the on-duty HazMat company for emergency consultation (in addition to its normal fire/EMS duties). The special-purpose HazMat 10 unit is not staffed, but is usually part of a team deployment. The team must be assembled for a full mobilization, with members often coming from home (paged off-duty). This can take 1 hour or more. This team is a regional asset.

Fireboat

In May 2014, the VFD put into service the Discovery, a  quick response fireboat. This vessel was specially designed for all-season fire and rescue duty on the Columbia River. It can operate in very shallow water, and can beach itself like a landing craft when necessary. The fireboat was paid for through a port security grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  Normally FEMA matches funds raised locally on a three to one basis, but, in Vancouver's case, FEMA waived the requirement for a local contribution to the capital costs, and paid the entire $1.6 million costs itself.

Labor Groups
Firefighters and Captains are represented by the "Vancouver Firefighters Local 452" of the International Association of Firefighters.

Battalion Chiefs and Division Chiefs are represented by the "Vancouver Fire Command Officers Local 4378" of the International Association of Firefighters

Fire Prevention personnel (all civilian), are currently represented by the “Vancouver Fire Department Guild.”

Stations and apparatus

Museum
The Vancouver Fire Department Museum lost its facility in the late 1990s. Most of the museum's historic artifacts, including apparatus, are in storage. However, the public may view a 1925 Seagrave engine and some equipment in a view-from-outside museum display at Fire Station 10. No entry to the display area interior is allowed- please do not disturb the on-duty crew. The VFD has two other fully restored apparatus; a 1934 Seagrave engine, and the VFD's original Hunneman hand pumper. None of Vancouver's steam fire engines remain in the department's possession.

Pipe Band
The "Vancouver Firefighters Pipes and Drums" band was formed in 2009. It is sponsored by IAFF Local 452, but raises operational funding through donations. The band receives no fire department funding or support. The band's core purpose is to honor fallen firefighters and other public servants at memorials and other events. The band is regional in nature, with members from Vancouver FD, Clark Co. Fire District 6, Chehalis FD and Olympia FD. Membership is open to active duty and retired members of the region's fire and law enforcement agencies. Oct 2022 NOTE: Status of the band remains "inactive" since onset of the pandemic.
