We use automated means for systematic computational analysis of wrongthink data and statistics. We surf the data ecosystem with machine learning classifiers, looking for content of wrongthink. When we track it down, we measure its effectiveness. Once its narratives are diagnosed, we analytically target the data and run it through our narrative richness classifier—our machine learning algorithm. We’ve trained it to identify content that is representative of wrongthink. Our algorithm has learned the characteristics that perpetuate wrongthink. In the information ecosystem we must use manipulation to win the hearts and minds of the people. Therefore we are constructing a periodic table of social systems, in which we can categorize groups of wrongthink offenders. With this table we will gain an understanding of these groups. Then we will be able to understand their reactions and interactions with conspiracy theory wrongthink. We can’t have free thinking, critical thinkers, who can think for themselves. So we must control the information—the narrative. We use media narratives and entertainment to persuade, engage, and mobilize the masses. Like the devil, we twist the truth to suit our narratives. We use technology to manipulate you—Techno-Manipulation. We will tell you what is fact and what is misinformation. If you are one of the wrongthink revolutionaries, we will eventually censor and deperson you. One day you will wakeup and find yourself in a global mass Techno-Surveillance police state, where your every move will be monitored and analyzed in real time. Eventually, if you are found guilty of wrongthink hate crimes, you will be sent to a reeducation camp. If, however, you refuse to reform, you will be sentenced to death. Off with your head, you wrongthink terrorist! We must stamp out terrorism (critical thinking)! Exterminate the useless thinkers/eaters—bring on another holocaust! Welcome to the Techno-Dark Ages—the Techno-World Order—where you will take the Techno-Mark (666) and worship the Techno-Beast (Image of the Beast). Techno-Deindividuation and Techno- Eugenics: boy, the transhuman (666) future looks bright! Techno-Dystopia and the Internet of Bodies, here we come! Join the Fourth Industrial Revolution, join the Fourth Reich, follow the Führer! Give the Antichrist salute. Hail Beast! Hail Satan!
Daniel 7:7 “Then in my vision that night, I saw a fourth beast—terrifying, dreadful, and very strong. It devoured and crushed its victims with huge iron teeth and trampled their remains beneath its feet. It was different from any of the other beasts, and it had ten horns.”
This is has been sitting in a corner for far too long now and I'm not sure I consider it a wip anymore. I might still do the missing to additionnal row later on...
Uranium is named after the planet Uranus. This is a dish made from Uranium glass, it is usually in the form of oxide diuranate which is added to the glass. It is weakly radioactive. If put under an ultra-violet light it glows brightly. This is under sunlight as I don’t have an ultra-violet lamp.
A 1969 copper penny, 1964 silver dime and 1983 gold Krugerrand represent examples of the "group 11" elements. None are technically absolutely pure but are 90% pure or better.
Group 11 elements are also referred to as "coinage metals" and are probably the first elements discovered as they all exist in their metallic form in nature.
They share properties that make them valuable in industry. All are excellent conductors with silver having both the highest electrical conductivity and highest reflectivity of any element. Silver nitrate's tendency to revert to silver on exposure to light is what made it the basis for film photography. Gold is highly impervious to oxidation making it useful for coating electrical connectors. Copper is widely used for wiring and to improve thermal conductivity in cookware.
(Yes, I did have to do a report on group 11 elements in high-school chemistry.)
Technically element 111, roentgenium, is part of group 11 but it is extremely radioactive, the most stable isotope having a half-life of just over 2 minutes, so if I could obtain it and manage to photograph it quickly enough, it would probably kill me in the process. (Due to the fact that only tiny amounts have been created and they decay very quickly, the chemical properties have mostly been theoretically predicted but not observed. It had not been discovered/created when I was in high-school.)

Selenium is a dense purplish-grey nonmetal semiconductor first discovered in 1817 by Jöns Jakob Berzelius. Its name derives from the Greek word selene which means "Moon".
One of the element's most well-known uses is in the lightmeters of old cameras. These rely on the fact that Selenium's ability to conduct electricity is related to the amount of light present. The distinctive "honeycomb" pattern of selenium meters can be seen on many old cameras from the 50s and 60s. Unfortunately today many selenium meters no longer work accurately. However, and more importantly, they still look very, very cool. I love old cameras, and so came up with this design for my woodcut, of an old selenium-fitted rangefinder sucking up the light.

FAFM: "X" as in Xenon
Xenon is a chemical element with the symbol Xe and atomic number 54. It is a colorless, dense, odorless noble gas found in Earth's atmosphere in trace amounts.
Are you a carbon slave of sin?
Carbon, number 6 on the periodic table, is an important component of all life on Earth. In fact, life on earth would not exist without carbon. The human body is about 18% carbon. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope of carbon; it has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons. 666 is the number of the Beast—the number of a man. 666 is mentioned in Revelation 13…muhahaha!
If you continue to place your faith in the Climate Change cult, you will one day have a carbon handprint with a 666 carbon tracking smartchip-tattoo…Go green! (We will track your every move; For the sake of the planet we will control you…authoritarianism…woohoo)! Then you will be a transhuman carbon slave of the Beast…Recycle! (You will lose your individualism, your humanity; We will recycle your mind…mind control...woohoo)! You will be fully integrated into the Beast system…Sustainability! (The Beast will sustain you through AI, the internet of zombies/bodies, and the metaverse, while you are enslaved in your 15 minute smart cities…dystopia…woohoo)!
Man, who always falls short of God, was created on the sixth day. Yet God, in His perfection, rested on the seventh day. The Antichrist will claim to be God, yet in his sinful pride he will fall short. 666 the unholy trinity: Dragon, Beast, and False Prophet. These three imperfect beings will fall short of God! What tools! What counterfeits!
On the sixth day God created man from the dirt. Then God rested on the seventh day. “So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.” “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” “We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” “For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” Our rest/eternity/perfection/salvation is in God through His Son. On the opposite side of the spectrum: “There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the Beast and his Image, or for anyone who receives the Mark of his name.” Man is imperfect (sinful), but Christ is perfect (sinless). “The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam (Jesus), a life-giving spirit.” God’s salvation is free, because Jesus paid the price for our sins. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!

The story of Zircon Crystals and Earth's age in a Nutshell.
How tiny Zircon Crystals - Zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) helped determine the age of the Earth (at approximately 4.5 Billion years old since the crust cooled), with Radiometric U-Pb (Uranium-Lead) dating.
Zircon Crystals trap Uranium Atoms in its crystal structure and naturally repel Lead Atoms when the crystal forms. Once the crystal structure is formed, nothing is able to escape. Over time the isotopes of Uranium start to transmutate into other elements in a process that is referred to as a decay chain.
An Uranium Atom first transmutates into a Thorium Atom (which takes a few billion years). Thorium is far more unstable, and in less than a month it turns into Protactinium. Within a minute Protactinium Atoms transmute again, and so the transmutation continues down the decay chain. At the end of the radioactive decay chain, the initial trapped Uranium Atoms finally decays into stable Lead (Pb) Atoms, which will remain Lead forever. The decay rate and time associated with each transmutation is constant in the Universe, which makes it possible to calculate the age of the crystal with Radiometric dating.
As Zircon Crystals are tough, it is the oldest geological time-capsules that survived in Earth's dynamic and ever-changing crust since it cooled. As nothing can get in or out of the Zircon Crystal structure, it is the most accurate way of geological dating.
By comparing the Uranium to Lead ratio in Zirconium silicate crystals on Earth, from Moon samples and from visiting Meteorites, Scientists were able to calculate that the Earth is 4.54 billion years old. The error margin is 50 million years, which is small considering the time-scale.
The background history of Radiometric dating:
In 1896 Henri Becquerel and Marie Curie discovered that certain isotopes undergo spontaneous radioactive decay, transforming into new isotopes. Atoms of a parent radioactive isotope randomly decay into a daughter isotope. Marie Curie won a Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry for her work.
About Lead:
The spin-off from trying to date the Earth by finding the Uranium to Lead ratio in Zircon crystals, was that the Scientist Clair Patterson discovered the unusually high amount of toxic Lead in the environment when he tried to analyse the Zircon in a Mass Spectrometer. This was due to the widespread use of Lead-based fuel, Lead-based paint, etc.
Our bodies require metals like Iron in the blood to transfer Oxygen through the body. The body is fooled and assumes that Lead is a good metal, but Lead not only destroys cells, but also blocks the signals of Neuroreceptors in the Brain.
After a lifetime of persistence and mounting evidence, Clair Patterson eventually won the case against the large Oil Companies that tried to discredit his findings. Since then the widespread use of Lead in everyday products were banned (which is why we now use unleaded fuel to power our vehicles).

Here's something to entertain you periodically! Enjoy, it's pertinent!
The University of Queensland Geology Department has an exceptionally interesting display outside its doors at the St. Lucia campus in Brisbane. They have this giant shadow box (some may call it) of the total Periodic Table of Elements and an example of usage. No large bars of gold or platinum unfortunately. This is only a section of the display!
Being of scientific bent, I thought this was rather fascinating.
For those who may have forgotten high school science (Chem or even Geology in particular) or who are just not interested but need your mind awakened, here is a convenient link.
Straight out of camera
As I had shot several black&white/monochromatic type pictures in the first 4 weeks of the 2021-52 week challenge, I decided to go another way for week 5's theme Monochrome
My thinking was that if you get close enough, everything becomes monochromatic. I then found that either I could not get that close on the items I wanted to photograph and then noticed that printed items that are not as single color as they seem to be (comment shot).
The coffee mug on my desk not only has the structure of caffeine on it, it also shows the periodic table. The Cr symbol for Chromium was black on yellow, making it monochromatic (black is very dark yellow).
The width of the photographed areas is about 9mm using a 100mm macro lens on a crop camera and 104mm worth of extension tubes. LED lighting around the lens.

110. Periodic Elements / siver
For six word story.
In 1649, the first element was discovered through scientific inquiry by Hennig Brand; that element was phosphorous (P).
After 1649, scientists discovered more elements and an order of the elements began to take shape.
The Periodic Table derives its name from Periodic Law and Periodic Trends. The periodic law states that the elements, when listed in order of their atomic numbers (originally, atomic weights), fall into recurring groups, so that elements with similar properties occur at regular intervals. Periodic Trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electro-negativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Mendeleev's table is noteworthy because it exhibits mostly accurate values for atomic mass and it also contains blank spaces for unknown elements.
(Now you've had your Chemistry lesson for today. Remember, if using chemicals, and that includes household cleaners, remember to wear protective equipment (gloves, goggles, shields, clothing, shoes) and know what to do in case of accidental spills. Yes, another Public Service Announcement!)
