Why do coals (like in a wood fire) look like they have flames inside them when hot, but then turn black when they cool? | As /u/Geers- says, the embers emit light because they're hot. The *reason* they're hot is that there's still unburnt fuel in there. When you're burning wood, the volatile chemicals come off first - water (which obviously doesn't burn) but all sorts of other gases are released which do burn - but in the end there's just the charcoal left. Charcoal has a lot of carbon in it, but carbon doesn't burn with a flame because carbon doesn't turn into a gas at the sort of temperature you get in a log fire. Instead, it has to burn on the surface - which it can only do as fast as oxygen can get to it. The slow combustion keeps the surface hot enough to glow - in fact if it wasn't, it'd go out because it wouldn't be hot enough to burn. As the carbon is used up, the remaining ashes tend to blanket the fire, so the tail end lasts for hours. |

with a "lilac pink sky, lighted windows, clarity of whiteness, lots of people at home" according to Melanie Reid who interviewed Paton in 2005 for The Herald. The preliminary drawings for the paintings were completed in February and Windows in the West was finally finished in June. Paton had not set out to create such a large work, originally intending to paint the architectural detail of the building's drum windows. Paton said in 2005 that she had "realised I had made a mistake with the size of the paper. At that time I was terribly poor ... Buying art materials was difficult. I was upset that the paper was the wrong size", but was galvanised to finish the work by her son who said "Oh it would be great if you could pull it off!" It was originally planned to show the painting at Anne Mendelow's Gatehouse Gallery at Glasgow's Rouken Glen Park but Mendelow proposed that it was loaned to Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in the intervening period as it was taking up so much space in Paton's flat. The popularity of Windows in the West at the Royal Concert Hall bought it to the attention of the director of Glasgow's museums, Julian Spalding, who purchased it for the city in 1996. Spalding subsequently said that "What it caught was that moment when it was nearly dark, but people haven't drawn the curtains yet, and you can walk along the street and look into windows, and there's the light inside, and the light outside. People are going about their business in a private way; at the same time they have not yet hidden their private world. There is the balance between the inner life and the outer life that is just beautifully caught". Paton's 1988 painting The Barras had previously been bought by Glasgow Art Galleries and Museums and as her major sale it had established her as an artist. Paton subsequently described the residents as having been "thrilled to be in the painting ... That building was a community in itself. They were colourful characters, who were always having parties". Paton has described her surprise at the popularity of the work, saying in a 2005 interview that "I find that quite amazing, because I don't understand it at all. I wasn't aware that it was going to be anything other than just another painting for an exhibition. I lived there for four to six years before I started the painting.

has been developed by India's DRDO and displayed a number of new technologies and significant improvement in missile technology. The missile is light-weight and has two stages of solid propulsion and a payload with re-entry heat shield. With 3,500 to 4,000 km range, it is capable of striking targets in nearly all of mainland China, if launched from northeastern part of India. Development This missile is one of a kind, proving many new technologies for the first time, and represents a significant leap in India's missile technology. The missile is lighter in weight and uses a two-stage rocket engine powered by solid propellant. The Composite Rocket Motor which has been used for the first time has given excellent performance. The missile system is equipped with modern and compact avionics with redundancy to provide a high level of reliability. The indigenous-built ring laser gyroscope is used in the high accuracy INS (RINS) and Micro Inertial Navigation System (MINGS), which complement each other as a redundancy. The high performance onboard computer with distributed Avionics architecture, high speed reliable communication bus and a full Digital Control System have controlled and guided the missile to the target. The missile reached the target with a high level of accuracy. Radars and electro-optical systems along the Coast of Odisha have tracked and monitored all the parameters of the missile. Two Indian Naval ships located near the target witnessed the final event. Dr Vijay Kumar Saraswat, Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri, Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Director General DRDO, who witnessed the launch, congratulated all the scientists and employees of DRDO and the Armed Forces for the successful launch of AGNI-IV. Sri Avinash Chander, Chief Controller (Missiles & Strategic Systems), DRDO and Programme Director of AGNI, while addressing the scientists after the launch, called it as a new era in the modern Long Range Navigation System in India.

Efforts are being made to fine-tune the Agni missiles to defeat anti-ballistic missile systems. The radar cross-section and other detectable signatures of Agni-IV have been significantly reduced to make them much more immune to counter-measures. Testing Agni-IV has undergone seven successful tests over the course of six years. 15 November 2011: Agni-IV was successfully test fired for the first time, from a road-mobile launcher at 9am from Wheeler Island off the coast of Orissa. The missile followed its trajectory, attained a height of about 900 km and reached the pre-designated target in international waters of the Bay of Bengal. All mission objectives were fully met. All systems functioned perfectly till the end encountering re-entry temperatures of more than . 19 September 2012: The missile was successfully test-fired again for its full range of 4,000 km from the Wheeler Island, off the Orissa coast. The missile lifted off from a road mobile launcher at 11:48a.m. and after zooming to an altitude of over 800 km, it re-entered the atmosphere and impacted near the pre-designated target in the Indian Ocean with remarkable degree of accuracy following a 20-minute flight. Carrying a payload of explosives weighing a tonne, the missile re-entered the atmosphere and withstood searing temperatures of more than . 20 January 2014: The missile was test-fired in the actual weapon and road-mobile configuration of the Strategic Forces Command (SFC), from the launch complex-4 of the Integrated Test Range at Wheeler Island off Orissa coast. The missile traveled a vertical distance of 850 km and covered its full range of 4,000 km. The onboard ring laser gyro-based inertial navigation system (RINS) and the micro-navigation system (MINGS) enabled the missile to fall within 100 meters of its target. The re-entry shield withstood outside temperatures as high as , enabling the avionics to work at less than inside. 2 December 2014: The missile was successfully test-fired by the Army's Strategic Forces Command (SFC).

the mummy, so that the height of the crest can no longer be determined. He assumed that the frill would have extended upwards by at least one further row of clusters. An Edmontosaurus fossil described by the paleontologist John Horner in 1984 shows a regular row of rectangular lobes in the tail area. Stephen Czerkas, in 1997, argued that this row would likely have extended over much of the body, including the neck, making a frill of loosely folded skin seem unlikely. Instead, the skin impression described by Osborn would have come from the fleshy crest above the downward-curved neck spine. This neck crest would have been much deeper than previously assumed, connecting the base of the head to the shoulder region. The observed folding would have been a consequence of mummification and caused by a withered nuchal ligament. Hand AMNH 5060 allowed for the first accurate reconstruction of the hand skeleton of a hadrosaurid. Barnum Brown, in 1912, showed that the carpus of the mummy did not consist of two complete rows of ossified carpals, as Othniel Charles Marsh had assumed in his reconstruction of 1892, but that only two ossified carpals were present. In the mummy, these elements lie directly above each other and above the third metacarpal. This arrangement probably reflects the original position in the living animal since both hands show the same arrangement. Brown further pointed out that the first finger was missing and the second to fifth fingers each consisted of three phalanges. Marsh had reconstructed the first finger as a reduced element with only two phalanges, while the fifth finger was absent in his reconstruction. The fingers of the mummy are partially connected to each other by an envelope of skin impressions. In 1912, Osborn suggested that this skin envelope represented webbing between fingers and that the forelimb would have functioned as a paddle, which he considered a clear indication of an aquatic lifestyle for Trachodon (= Edmontosaurus) and presumably other representatives of the Trachodontidae (= Hadrosauridae). The webbing would not only have connected the fingers with each other, but would also have extended up to beyond the fingertips. Furthermore, Osborn noted the lack of clearly pronounced hooves and large fleshy foot pads on the forelimb—features to be expected in a primarily land-dwelling animal. With the Senckenberg mummy, another Trachodon specimen with supposed webbing was discovered in 1910. A possible aquatic lifestyle of hadrosaurids had been proposed before, in particular based on the great depth and flat sides of a well-preserved tail discovered by Brown in 1906. This hypothesis appeared to be in accordance with an 1883 account by Edward Drinker Cope describing hadrosaurid teeth as "slightly attached" and "delicate", and therefore suitable for feeding on soft aquatic plants. It was only after the discovery of the two mummies that the hypothesis of an aquatic lifestyle became the undisputed doctrine. Charles H. Sternberg wrote in 1917: It was not until 1964 that John H. Ostrom voiced doubts about the webbed-finger hypothesis. Ostrom was able to show that hadrosaurids did not feed on soft aquatic plants as previously assumed, but that their elaborate chewing apparatus was designed to crush resistant plant material such as conifers. The skeletal anatomy would furthermore indicate a highly specialized two-legged locomotion on land. Ostrom noted that hadrosaurids showed no osteoderms or similar structures to defend against predators that are found in many other herbivorous dinosaurs, and suggested that the webs may have been used to allow escape into the water in case of danger. Robert Bakker, in 1986, argued that the animal had no webs, and that the skin between its fingers was the remnant of a fleshy pad enveloping the hand that had dried out and flattened during mummification. Very similar skin structures originating from foot pads can be found on modern-day mummified camel carcasses. Furthermore, Bakker argued that the fingers were short and could hardly have been spread apart, which distinguishes them fundamentally from the long, spread toes of today's paddling animals such as ducks. Bakker concluded: Today, the webbing hypothesis is widely refuted. Phil Senter, in 2012, examined AMNH 5060 and several other hadrosaurid specimens to reconstruct the orientation of the hand. While trackway evidence indicates that the palm was directed inwards and only slightly backwards, many hadrosaurid skeletons have instead been mounted with the palm of the hand facing backwards. In such reconstructions, the radius either crosses the ulna (instead of being parallel) or connects to the inner of the two condyles of the humerus (instead of to the outer). Although the palms of the mummy face backwards, this is because the carcass lay on its back, which caused the forelimbs to sprawl and the humeri to detach from the shoulder joints. In both forelimbs of the mummy, radius and ulna are parallel to each other and the radius is connected to the outer condyle, confirming that the palm must have faced inwards in life. Ossified tendons and stomach contents In 1909, Charles H. Sternberg noted that hundreds of ossified tendons were preserved along the dorsal spine, each about as thick as a pencil. Sternberg speculated that these tendons served as defensive structures and could not be penetrated by the claws of predatory dinosaurs such as the contemporary Tyrannosaurus. Today it is known that these tendons stiffened the spine, probably to counteract bending forces on the spine during walking. Although the tail is not preserved in the mummy, other Edmontosaurus specimens show that it had also been stiffened by such tendons. Sternberg also reported carbonized food remains discovered in the stomach region of the mummy. An analysis of these remains has not yet been performed. Kräusel, in 1922, investigated a concretion of brown plant material in the Senckenberg mummy that consisted mainly of branches and needles of conifers. In both mummies, the possibility cannot be ruled out that the plant material was washed into the abdominal cavity only after the death of the animal. Attempts to reconstruct color patterns Osborn observed in 1912 that clusters of "pavement tubercles" were more numerous on the upper sides of the trunk and limbs than on the underside. Consequently, they would dominate in areas that would have been exposed to the sun when the animal was alive; in many reptiles living today, these sun-exposed areas contain the most pigment. From these observations, Osborn hypothesized a connection between pigmentation and scaling: the "pavement tubercle" clusters might have represented dark-colored areas on a bright base; the irregular distribution of the clusters would indicate an irregular color pattern; and the most elaborate color pattern would be present on the skin frill of the neck. Osborn did admit that in today's lizards the distribution of pigments is largely independent of the type of scaling. Catherine Forster, in 1997, stated that color information can in principle not be derived from the skin impressions of dinosaur mummies. In 2015, Philip Manning and colleagues concluded that skin in dinosaur mummies is not simply preserved as an impression but contains original biomolecules or their derivatives. These researchers inferred the presence of melanin pigments in the skin of another Edmontosaurus mummy nicknamed Dakota. While clarifying that a reconstruction of the coloration is currently not possible given the many different factors that influence coloration, they remarked that the melanin distribution may potentially allow for deriving a monochrome (black-and-white) picture of the animal's pigmentation pattern. Any chemical analysis of AMNH 5060 would be problematic, however, as consolidating chemicals have been applied to its skin for preservation. Nostrils As in other Edmontosaurus specimens, the sides of the snout were excavated by a large and elongated depression, the circumnarial depression, which housed the nostrils. As confirmed by AMNH 5060, the would not have occupied the entire depression. Richard Swann Lull and Nelda Wright, in a 1942 publication, suggested that skin impressions are preserved within the depression; a deepening in this possible skin in the front part of the depression could mark the position of the fleshy nostrils. This skin is smooth and wrinkled and tubercles are absent, in contrast with the rest of the body. Accordingly, paleoart often shows the remainder of the depression being occupied by a scaleless, inflatable bladder. In 2015, however, Albert Prieto-Márquez and Jonathan Wagner found low and subtle impressions of polygonal scales in the frontmost part of the depression behind the beak. These scales suggest that the rest of the skin that once covered the depression might have been scaly. For this reason, these authors preferred an older interpretation by James A. Hopson from 1975, who proposed a scaly bladder with brightly colored skin between the scales which became visible only when the bladder was inflated. Prieto-Márquez and Wagner further suggested that sedimentary ridges within the depression likely represent former soft-tissue structures. The rear edge of the bony nostril was extended towards the front by a flange which was probably a cartilaginous structure, indicating that the rear part of the bony nostril was covered by soft tissue, forming a nasal cavity. As this covering was apparently restricted to the rear part, it is likely that the opening of the nasal passage into the skull interior would also have been situated there. A ridge running diagonally across the depression might have been a cartilaginous septum supporting a nasal cavity. The ridge ends in the lower front of the depression, which is the most likely location for the fleshy nostril. The nasal cavity that this ridge once supported would therefore have been the main nasal air passage. Taphonomy Several authors discussed the question of how the animal died and what circumstances led to its exceptionally good preservation. Charles H. Sternberg, in 1909, and Charles M. Sternberg, in 1970, assumed that the animal died in water. The gases accumulating in the abdomen after death would have floated the carcass, with the belly pointing upwards and the head moving into its final position under the shoulder. The carcass would then have sunk to the bottom to come to rest on its back, and become covered by sediments. The skin would have been drawn into the body cavity by the load of the sediments or due to the escape of the gases. Osborn suggested another scenario in 1911: the animal could have died a natural death, and the carcass would have been exposed to the sun for a longer time in a dry riverbed, unaffected by scavengers. Muscles and intestines would have completely dried out and thus shrunk, whereby the hard and leathery skin sank into the body cavity and finally adhered tightly to the bones, forming a natural mummy. At the end of the dry season, the mummy would have been hit by a sudden flood, transported a distance and quickly covered with sediments at the embedding site. The fine grain size of the sediment (fine river sand with sufficient clay content) would have led to the perfect impressions of the filigree skin structures before the hardened skin could soften. Today Osborn's hypothesis is considered the most probable. The cause of death of the specimen can only be speculated about. Kenneth Carpenter, in 1987 and 2007, considered starvation during a drought to be the most likely cause of death, given the similarity of the mummy to cadavers of today's animals found during droughts. The loss of muscle mass due to malnutrition could also partly explain why the mummy's skin was sunken around the bones. Furthermore, the carcass was not affected by scavengers. This could have been due to a drought keeping scavengers away from the affected area or leading to the accumulation of many carcasses that could not all be handled by the existing scavengers, as can be observed during modern droughts. Furthermore, Carpenter noted that today's large even-toed ungulates are closely bound to water during droughts to prevent overheating. The main cause of death of these animals during droughts is starvation, not thirst. The mummy was discovered in river sediments; therefore the animal likely died near a river or at least a dry riverbed. The sediments of the discovery site were deposited by a meandering river. This type of river constantly migrates its riverbed by eroding the cut bank (the bank on the outside of the river bends) and depositing sediment on the slip-off slope (on the inside of the bends). A slip-off slope forms a characteristic sediment sequence known as a point bar. Carpenter concluded | even impressions of inner organs are possibly preserved; this cannot be evaluated without detailed computer tomography and x-ray analyses. Skin The skin was thin and delicate in relation to the size of the animal. As typical for dinosaurs, the skin consisted of non-overlapping scales called tubercles. Two sorts of tubercles can be distinguished. Evenly distributed on the skin were the "ground tubercles", which were small, rounded scales between in diameter. The larger "pavement tubercles", less than in diameter, were pentagonal in shape, raised relative to the ground tubercles, and arranged in irregular clusters interrupting the surface formed by the lower ground tubercles. These clusters consisted of between twenty and several hundred individual pavement tubercles, and were bordered by intermediate tubercles which mediated in size and shape between ground and pavement tubercles. In the chest and abdominal region, clusters were small, oval in shape and arranged in irregular longitudinal lines. They became larger towards the sides of the trunk, where they reached in diameter; their shape became more irregular. The largest clusters could be found above the pelvis and measured in diameter; clusters of similar size were presumably present along the whole back of the animal. Muscles and joints were generally occupied with smaller tubercles to enable greater flexibility—larger tubercles are found in those parts that are tightly pressed to the bones. The largest surviving scales are found on the outer side of the arms; these polygonal tubercles were up to in diameter. The inner side of the arms was completely covered by small tubercles. The thigh also showed relatively small tubercles on the inner side; no impressions of the outer side are preserved. A patch of skin is also present in the nostril region of the snout; these scales measured in diameter. Skin frill Above the neck vertebrae, a long and deep skin impression is preserved. Osborn interpreted this impression as part of an ornamental frill of loose skin that extended along the midline of the neck and back. Osborn noted that this frill was folded above the vertebral joints to ensure mobility of the neck, giving the comb a ruff-like appearance. The areas in-between the folded areas were occupied by an oval cluster of pavement tubercles. Osborn observed that the upper edge of the comb had been destroyed during the recovery of the mummy, so that the height of the crest can no longer be determined. He assumed that the frill would have extended upwards by at least one further row of clusters. An Edmontosaurus fossil described by the paleontologist John Horner in 1984 shows a regular row of rectangular lobes in the tail area. Stephen Czerkas, in 1997, argued that this row would likely have extended over much of the body, including the neck, making a frill of loosely folded skin seem unlikely. Instead, the skin impression described by Osborn would have come from the fleshy crest above the downward-curved neck spine. This neck crest would have been much deeper than previously assumed, connecting the base of the head to the shoulder region. The observed folding would have been a consequence of mummification and caused by a withered nuchal ligament. Hand AMNH 5060 allowed for the first accurate reconstruction of the hand skeleton of a hadrosaurid. Barnum Brown, in 1912, showed that the carpus of the mummy did not consist of two complete rows of ossified carpals, as Othniel Charles Marsh had assumed in his reconstruction of 1892, but that only two ossified carpals were present. In the mummy, these elements lie directly above each other and above the third metacarpal. This arrangement probably reflects the original position in the living animal since both hands show the same arrangement. Brown further pointed out that the first finger was missing and the second to fifth fingers each consisted of three phalanges. Marsh had reconstructed the first finger as a reduced element with only two phalanges, while the fifth finger was absent in his reconstruction. The fingers of the mummy are partially connected to each other by an envelope of skin impressions. In 1912, Osborn suggested that this skin envelope represented webbing between fingers and that the forelimb would have functioned as a paddle, which he considered a clear indication of an aquatic lifestyle for Trachodon (= Edmontosaurus) and presumably other representatives of the Trachodontidae (= Hadrosauridae). The webbing would not only have connected the fingers with each other, but would also have extended up to beyond the fingertips. Furthermore, Osborn noted the lack of clearly pronounced hooves and large fleshy foot pads on the forelimb—features to be expected in a primarily land-dwelling animal. With the Senckenberg mummy, another Trachodon specimen with supposed webbing was discovered in 1910. A possible aquatic lifestyle of hadrosaurids had been proposed before, in particular based on the great depth and flat sides of a well-preserved tail discovered by Brown in 1906. This hypothesis appeared to be in accordance with an 1883 account by Edward Drinker Cope describing hadrosaurid teeth as "slightly attached" and "delicate", and therefore suitable for feeding on soft aquatic plants. It was only after the discovery of the two mummies that the hypothesis of an aquatic lifestyle became the undisputed doctrine. Charles H. Sternberg wrote in 1917: It was not until 1964 that John H. Ostrom voiced doubts about the webbed-finger hypothesis. Ostrom was able to show that hadrosaurids did not feed on soft aquatic plants as previously assumed, but that their elaborate chewing apparatus was designed to crush resistant plant material such as conifers. The skeletal anatomy would furthermore indicate a highly specialized two-legged locomotion on land. Ostrom noted that hadrosaurids showed no osteoderms or similar structures to defend against predators that are found in many other herbivorous dinosaurs, and suggested that the webs may have been used to allow escape into the water in case of danger. Robert Bakker, in 1986, argued that the animal had no webs, and that the skin between its fingers was the remnant of a fleshy pad enveloping the hand that had dried out and flattened during mummification. Very similar skin structures originating from foot pads can be found on modern-day mummified camel carcasses. Furthermore, Bakker argued that the fingers were short and could hardly have been spread apart, which distinguishes them fundamentally from the long, spread toes of today's paddling animals such as ducks. Bakker concluded: Today, the webbing hypothesis is widely refuted. Phil Senter, in 2012, examined AMNH 5060 and several other hadrosaurid specimens to reconstruct the orientation of the hand. While trackway evidence indicates that the palm was directed inwards and only slightly backwards, many hadrosaurid skeletons have instead been mounted with the palm of the hand facing backwards. In such reconstructions, the radius either crosses the ulna (instead of being parallel) or connects to the inner of the two condyles of the humerus (instead of to the outer). Although the palms of the mummy face backwards, this is because the carcass lay on its back, which caused the forelimbs to sprawl and the humeri to detach from the shoulder joints. In both forelimbs of the mummy, radius and ulna are parallel to each other and the radius is |

need to compensate for bullet drop, and can be adjusted over a wide range of distances by sighting in the firearm. If the bullet leaves the barrel parallel to the sight, the bullet, like any object in flight, is pulled downwards by gravity, so for distant targets, the shooter must point the firearm above the target to compensate. But if the target is close enough, bullet drop will be negligible so the shooter can aim the gun straight at the target. If the sights are set so that the barrel has a small upward tilt, the bullet starts by rising and later drops. This results in a weapon that hits too high for very close targets, too low for very far targets, and point blank at some distance in between. Point-blank range will vary by a weapon's external ballistics characteristics and the allowable error at the target; the flatter the bullet's trajectory or the larger the target, the longer the point-blank range will be. In popular usage, point-blank range has come to mean extremely close range with a firearm, yet not close enough to be a contact shot. History The term point-blank dates to the 1570s and is probably of French origin, deriving from , "pointed at white". It is thought the word blanc may be used to describe a small white aiming spot formerly at the center of shooting targets. However, since none of the early sources mention a white center target, blanc may refer to empty space or zero point of elevation when testing range. Point-blank range denotes the distance a marksman can expect to fire a specific weapon and hit a desired target without adjusting its sights. If a weapon is sighted correctly and ammunition reliable, the same spot should be hit every time at point-blank range. The term originated with the techniques used to aim muzzle-loading cannon. Their barrels tapered from breech | bore actually sat at an elevated angle. This caused the projectile to rise above the natural line of sight shortly after leaving the muzzle, then drop below it after the apex of its slightly parabolic trajectory was reached. By repeatedly firing a given projectile with the same charge, the point where the shot fell below the bottom of the bore could be measured. This distance was considered the point-blank range: any target within it required the gun to be depressed; any beyond it required elevation, up to the angle of greatest range at somewhat before 45 degrees. Various cannon of the 19th century had point-blank ranges from (12 lb howitzer, powder charge) to nearly (30 lb carronade, solid shot, powder charge). Small arms Maximum point-blank range Small arms are often sighted in so that their sight line and bullet path are within a certain acceptable margin out to the longest possible range, called the maximum point-blank range. Maximum point-blank range is principally a function of a cartridge's external ballistics and target size: high-velocity rounds have long point-blank ranges, while slow rounds have much shorter point-blank ranges. Target size determines how far above and below the line of sight a projectile's trajectory may deviate. Other considerations include sight height and acceptable drop before a shot is ineffective. Hunting A large target, like the vitals area of a deer, allows a deviation of a few inches (as much as 10 cm) while still ensuring a quickly disabling hit. Vermin such as prairie dogs require a much smaller deviation, less than an inch (about 2 cm). The height of the sights has two effects on point blank range. If the sights are lower than the allowable deviation, then point blank range starts at the muzzle, and any difference between the sight height and the allowable deviation is lost distance that could have been in point blank range. Higher sights, up to the maximum allowable deviation, push the maximum point blank range further from the gun. Sights that are higher than the maximum allowable deviation push the start of the point blank range farther out from the muzzle; this is common with varmint rifles, where close shots are only sometimes made, as it places the point blank range out to the expected range of the usual targets. Military Known also as "battle zero", maximum point-blank range is crucial in the military. Soldiers are instructed to fire at any target within this range by simply placing their weapon's sights on the center of mass of the enemy target. Any errors in range estimation are effectively irrelevant, as a well-aimed shot will hit the torso of the enemy soldier. No height correction is needed at the "battle zero" or less distance; however, if it can result in a headshot or even a complete miss. The belt buckle is used as battle zero point of aim in Russian and former Soviet military doctrine. The first mass-produced assault rifle, the World War II StG 44, and its preceding prototypes had iron sight lines elevated over the bore axis |

point of view", from which he “sees the figure of Lusophony as a practical classification, i.e. as a division of the social world. Alexandre Pomar wrote in January 2013 that as a practical classification, Lusophony is subordinated to practical functions and oriented towards the production of social effects”. But even then he was able to conclude that “although less widely known than the academic production from the universities of Lisbon, the research into the concept and practices of Lusophony seems to be more fruitful in the University of Minho”. However, Moisés de Lemos Martins recognises that mistakes have been made in the use of the figure of Lusophony. Carlos Reis, Full Professor of Literature, at the University of Coimbra, recognised that “it is possible and perhaps even wise to speak about a risk with an eventual Eurocentric marking”, and invited Moisés de Lemos Martins, in this regard, and resumed his warning that the dream of Lusophony for the Portuguese can fill “a space of imaginary refuge, the space of an imperial nostalgia, which helps them today to feel less alone and more visible in the seven matches of the world, now that the cycle of the country’s effective imperial epic is definitively closed.". It is above all because of this line of research, developed in the field of intercultural communication, which focuses on transcultural and transnational identities, and particularly in the Portuguese-speaking identity, that led the Brazilian researcher Sónia Cunha to state that "Moisés Adão de Lemos Martins is a living part of contemporary historical memory, in the structuring and development of the intercultural scientific movement – Lusophony, Afro, Asian, Galician, Brazilian and Ibero-American – in the opposite direction of the north-south axis, in the field of communication". Anabela Gradim, Paulo Serra and Valeriano Pinheiro-Naval, researchers from the University of Beira Interior, when analysing “The presence of Lusophony in the epistemic space of Communication Sciences”, in a decade of thematic studies (2007-2017), also concluded that the CECS – Communication and Society Research Centre, of the University of Minho, has an undisputed centrality “for Lusophone Studies in the field of Communication Sciences”. This conclusion is also reached when looking at the list of the "most productive authors" in the field of Lusophony studies in the epistemic space of Communication - that all pertain to Moisés de Lemos Martins' team, primarily PhD or post-doctoral students whose theses he supervised. The Virtual Museum of Lusophony It was the idea of Lusophony as a “culture space” and “Lusophone culture” that inspired Moisés de Lemos Martins to create the Virtual Museum of Lusophony in 2017, as a web museum and a living museum, a transcultural and transnational space, open to active participation by citizens. In 2020, the Virtual Museum of Lusophony was installed on the Google Arts & Culture platform. Augusto Santos Silva, Portugal's Minister of Foreign Affairs, who attended the Museum's launch session on this platform stated that “instruments such as this one are very important, both as a dynamic product and as a process, since they foster cooperation at an academic level, between universities, and also involve digital companies, companies operating in the cultural area, individual or collective participants from civil society, and above all explore issues related to the Portuguese language”. As Moisés de Lemos Martins pointed out to journalist Luís Caetano, on February 8, 2019, in the programme, “No Interior da Cultura”, of Antena 2 of RDP, the Virtual Museum of Lusophony proposes to disseminate artistic and cultural materials from the Portuguese-speaking countries, its diasporas, and from regions such as Galicia, Goa and Macau. Aiming to contribute to "knowledge of the other", it serves to foster "reconciliation between nations and tolerance”. On the other hand, it expresses the diversity of cultures in this space and shapes the collective memory of these communities and their plural identity. The Virtual Museum of Lusophony also aims to develop dynamics of interaction and cooperation, cultural, artistic, civic and scientific, in the vast Portuguese-speaking space, without forgetting the importance of the colonial past in the gestation of the contemporary realities of the Portuguese-speaking countries. The idea of developing cooperation dynamics within the space of Portuguese-speaking communities was confirmed by the university professor and researcher Carlos Alberto Carvalho, in an interview he conducted with Moisés de Lemos Martins, in 2019, published in MATRIZes, a magazine of the Postgraduate Programme in Communication Sciences at the University of São Paulo. This Brazilian academic considers that “throughout his entire life, professor [Moisés de Lemos Martins] has fought for a concerted strategy of scientific cooperation between the Portuguese-speaking countries, inspired by a critical and post-colonial vision of Lusophony, which respects the differences and autonomy of all the countries and fosters mutual understanding between the peoples and nations of the space that shares the Portuguese language as a common symbolic heritage, thereby contributing to making Portuguese a language of science". In RTP Play’s programme, Palavra aos Directores, episode 12, broadcast on September 23, 2020, after installation of the Virtual Museum of Lusophony on Google Arts & Culture, Moisés de Lemos Martins underlined that the Virtual Museum is "an instrument of mediation for Portuguese-speaking citizens", which encourages the "exchange of cultural diversity and the exchange of artistic diversity". The University and thought Moisés de Lemos Martins raises his most radical line of enquiry in relation to thinking and institution that has been created in the West to preserve and promote it - the university. He wrote: “For a long time, the University in Portugal, where the main research laboratories are located, has ceased to harbour thought, and instead only understands numbers. Managed as a company, the University is now being driven by technology, to the point where it now seems that the only world of academic performance is that of market needs, financial injunctions, rankings of media visibility and respectability, and also rating agencies, which establish the criterion that values scientific production”. The importance of the book has now been surpassed by the importance of articles published in scientific journals. And yet, in Moisés de Lemos Martins’ opinion the book is the main means available to the Human and Social Sciences to explore ideas related to what it means to be human, ensuring that science is an idea with memory and thought. But Moisés de Lemos Martins’ defence of the importance of thought is not restricted solely to his academic work. He has also pursued this line of enquiry in the public space, in regular chronicles, which he publishes in the press. This activity was underlined by Carlos Fiolhais, physicist and full professor at the University of Coimbra, director of the university's research centre, Rómulo - Centro Ciência Viva, and author and principal editor of the blog De Rerum Natura dedicated to scientific policy, who said that he became acquainted with Moisés de Lemos Martins “through his powerful incisive articles”, written in the press against the scientific policies that harmed the “human and social sciences”. Specifically in reference to the book Crise no Castelo da Cultura, Carlos Fiolhais stated that Moisés de Lemos Martins “resolutely addresses the current state of the University, not only in Portugal but worldwide. In the section entitled 'University in the corruption of news' he states that universities, which should be the place for reflection, which requires time, have become marketing sites, that aim to achieve media visibility at all costs simply to survive or even to increase their 'business'. Classes have begun to imitate advertising. Everything has started to be quantified as if it were a business plan, where professors and researchers are 'human resources'". Portugal and the “eye of God” of Salazar There are other lines of research stand out in the extensive intellectual career of this university professor of the University of Minho before Moisés de Lemos Martins established a critical relationship with the contemporary academic world, a relationship that justifies, in the words of Eduardo Prado Coelho, “ruthless dismantling of the bear hug of liberal reason”, or, according to the writer and university professor José Manuel Mendes, denunciation of the “poisoning of the gaze in the human sciences”, One is analysis of the dominant discourse that prevailed in Portugal during the Estado Novo regime. One of his most notable achievements is the work, O Olho de Deus no Discurso Salazarista (The Eye of God in the Salazarian Discourse), that he published in 1990 (2nd edition in 2016). Based on reformulation of his PhD thesis, the work focuses on the 1930s and 1940s. Moisés de Lemos Martins questions the general politics of Salazarian meaning, i.e. the regime of truth. It was precisely because he posed the question of Salazar's regime of truth that he viewed discourse as a disciplinary political practice, exercised on historical memory, the gaze, desire and the will. In O Olho de Deus no Discurso Salazarista, Moisés de Lemos Martins provides a socio-semiotic analysis of Salazar's speeches, questioning the longevity of the corporate, political regime that the dictator founded. Starting from the idea that corporate, authoritarian and clerical ideology, as well as antidemocratic practices were not, by themselves, a sufficient explanation for Salazarism, Moisés de Lemos Martins decided to analyse the “Salazarist imaginary”, that is, “the dream that Salazarism had for Portugal”. The point of view adopted in O Olho de Deus no Discurso Salazarista is, above all, that of power, or more properly that of biopower, in line with the thinking of Michel Foucault, a panoptic and disciplinary power, which is exercised over bodies as living organisms. However, as José Augusto Mourão, Dominican friar, writer and university professor of Literature and Communication points out, rereading the work of Moisés de Lemos Martins, Foucault's definition of power “is not limited to watching, spying, surprising, prohibiting and punishing, but incites, arouses and produces; it's not just the eye and ear; it makes people act and speak”. While recognising “the shadow of Foucault” in O Olho de Deus no Discurso Salazarista, José Augusto Mourão concluded that this book is “a unique work in the panorama of Portuguese history and sociology”. Summarising the path taken by Moisés de Lemos Martins up until that date, José Augusto Mourão states: “the author has chosen social Catholicism and the corporatist Estado Novo regime as the object of his analysis, in the period between May 28, 1926 and 1940. The methodology is clearly defined and there is no misunderstanding about the distance it maintains, either with the historical perspective or with the dialectical perspective. His field of work is that of the Salazarist discourse, dividing the text into three parts: the first, theoretical, which exposes religion as a panoptic view of society; a second, still with a strong theoretical bias, on the value systems or devices of Salazarist standardisation, which contemplates the ethical, eugenic and alethic apparatus; and a third part, on the application of the regime’s strategy to heal the nation, through technologies aimed to discipline the national body, illustrated here by the figures of healing and conversion through parables”. As Moisés de Lemos Martins himself pointed out in his preface to the 2nd edition of the book, “feeding countless journeys of knowledge, The Eye of God in the Salazarist Discourse has come into contact, over the past twenty-five years, with many different ways of looking. Journeys of knowledge are, however, never-ending journeys. Today, reading or rereading this book on Salazarism continues to be a work of knowledge, although it is already another experience”. Semiotics as a human and social science and as a “problematological science” Referring to Crime e Castigo – Práticas e Discursos (Crime and Punishment – Practices and Discourses), a book that Moisés de Lemos Martins edited in 2000 in which, in conjunction with other authors, he reflected on criminality in Portugal, the writer and university professor, José Manuel Mendes, praised the “problematological” point of view, which characterises his science, a point of view that “above all raises questions, as many as you can put and with the maximum rigour you are able to establish”. He points out: “hearing in the background the death knell that is fine-tuned by the so-called philosophies of totality (Adorno: “totality is untruth”), by the grand narratives, I am here citing Jan Patočka in a reticular assertion: “becoming is problematised and will remain that way forever”. In an in-depth analysis of A Linguagem, a Verdade e o Poder, José Augusto Mourão also succumbed to the power of the semiotics of Moisés de Lemos Martins, that is simultaneously social and problematological. José Augusto Mourão stated: Moisés de Lemos Martins’ writing “shares something similar with the sociologist who does not disconnect language from truth and power. His stilus scribendi is not due to the spectacle of his self-satisfied monologue. Instead, it provokes thinking about the war of paradigms that is fuelled by the libido dominandi. I agree. It is necessary to maintain a conception that is neither merely rhetorical nor merely consensual. […] In semiotics, the relationship of forces and the relationship of meaning are inextricably linked. The shadow of Foucault is a powerful presence in this book: the discursive construction of knowledge involves the use of 'disciplinary technologies' or forms of interaction that are used to create bodies that reinforce the 'positive power' on which the social order depends. ‘[discourse] is what we fight for, the very power we seek to seize”, writes Michel Foucault, which the author cites in relation to discourse”. It is, in fact, with A Linguagem, a Verdade e o Poder. Ensaio de Semiótica Social (2002/2017) that Moisés de Lemos Martins’ semiotic theory asserts itself as social semiotics. Bernardo Pinto de Almeida, Full Professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto, points out that “the author outlines a critical history of semiotics, questioning its concept and limits, its relevance and validity in the sociological approach that he never strays from”. He also adds that in the writing of Moisés de Lemos Martins one feels “the experience of the accustomed professor and the restless thinker who does not bow down to concepts and discourses, but rather questions them in the light of his own ability to incarnate them in a living thought”. On the other hand, his training as a sociologist “pervades the entire volume, under the rigorous applications that he develops in this attempt to semiotise sociology and sociologise the semiotics from which his entire enterprise emerges”. In summary, Bernardo Pinto de Almeida concludes that it is this effort, “with its open character of transdisciplinarity, that gives the volume a particular strength and vivacity, making certain aspects of contemporaneity legible, in particular some of the paradoxes that underlie the formation of so-called 'post-modernity'”. Viewing semiotics as a social theory of the production of meaning, Moisés de Lemos Martins distances it from theories of consciousness and subjectivity, because meaning is not centred on the individual. Nor is it centred on the message that circulates between a sender and a receiver, as is the case of information theory. In the idea of semiotics that he proposes, Moisés de Lemos Martins is inspired by the transcendental conditions of the possibility of meaning and communication, which constitute the central axis of the theories, of Francis Jacques, on the one hand, and of Karl-Otto Apel and Jürgen Habermas, on the other. In so doing, Moisés de Lemos Martins opens signification to intersubjectivity and interaction, i.e. to communicative action. Starting from the a priori conditions of meaning, of Kantian inspiration, both Francis Jacques, com o with the primum relationis, and Karl-Otto Apel and Jürgen Habermas, with the “ethics of communicative action”, had established the transcendental conditions of communication. Moisés de Lemos Martins’ perspective in semiotics consists, however, in inverting the transcendental conditions of the possibility of meaning and communication, in conditions of the historical and social possibility of production of meaning. In all three cases - Jacques, Apel and Habermas - the primacy of the interlocutive relationship prevails, which is a relationship of communication. But in Moisés de Lemos Martins, the transcendental relationship, which underpins the dialogism of the three philosophers, becomes a socio-historical relationship, which is why his understanding of semiotics is social. This conclusion is reiterated by António Fidalgo, full professor of Semiotics, at the University of Beira Interior: "the indication of its object is a very important element for its understanding as a science. Traditionally, semiotics was understood as the science of signs, but today new schools are appearing and authors are defending semiotics as a science of meaning as opposed to semiotics as a science of signs. One of these authors is Moisés Martins". And the reason why Moisés de Lemos Martins proposes a semiotics of discourse, rather than a semiotics of the sign, is that both the logic of communication and the theory of information, which constitute the dual tradition of the semiotics of the sign, have both ended up being mobilised at the service of the all-powerful technological, cybernetic and cyberspatial system for the circulation of verbal, sound and visual messages. There is, in fact, no doubt about the operative capacity of signs, given the fact that they bring together the logic of communication and the theory of information in the sense of their technological mobilisation. A "Distinguished Portuguese citizen” Moisés de Lemos Martins was interviewed, on February 6, 2014, for Fernando Alves' programme, "Portugueses excelentíssimos" (Distinguished Portuguese citizens), on TSF Rádio Notícias. The journalist who has interviewed dozens of illustrious Portuguese citizens for this programme introduced his guest as follows: "there are already many places where this man [Moisés de Lemos Martins] has left his footprint and the marks of his restless and disturbing knowledge, which justify his presence in this gallery of distinguished Portuguese citizens".

He is also the director of the scientific journals Comunicação e Sociedade (Communication and Society), Revista Lusófona de Estudos Culturais/Lusophone Journal of Cultural Studies, and the Vista. He launched the former in 1999, the second in 2013, and the latter in 2020. He is a sociologist and communication theorist, as well as an essayist and regular contributor to the media. Biography Moisés de Lemos Martins was born in Vila Cova da Lixa, Felgueiras, on March 8, 1953. He is a sociologist, Communication theorist, essayist and a regular contributor to the media. He is a Full Professor at the University of Minho, and director of the CECS - Communication and Society Research Centre. His strategic project is focused on this research unit, which currently comprises six intervention platforms, which he founded or helped found: the Virtual Museum of Lusophony, an academic cooperation platform in the fields of science, teaching and arts, in Portuguese-speaking countries; the Observatory for Science, Communication and Cultural Policies (POLObs); Passeio, an art and urban culture platform; the Media and Information Literacy Observatory (MILObs); the Communitas Think Tank, a platform that monitors the agenda and debate in public, local, regional and national spaces; and CreateLab, a creative agency, oriented towards innovation and experimentation, that produces audio-visual and multimedia content, at the service of strategic communication. He is the director of the Virtual Museum of Lusophony, as well as the scientific journals, Comunicação e Sociedade (Communication and Society), Revista Lusófona de Estudos Culturais/Lusophone Journal of Cultural Studies, and the Vista. He is the founder and editor of the CECS book collection, “Comunicação e Sociedade”, as well as the open science community of this research unit in the RepositóriUM of the University of Minho. This activity has helped confirm the thesis that the University of Minho is “champion in the digital disclosure of its works”, as suggested by the physicist and university professor, Carlos Fiolhais, in reference to the work of Moisés de Lemos Martins. He is the Honorary President of Sopcom – the Portuguese Association of Communication Sciences. In 2015, Intercom - Brazilian Society for Interdisciplinary Communication Studies awarded him the academic distinction. In 2016, the University of Minho distinguished him with the Scientific Merit Award. He studied Theology and Philosophy at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP), in Lisbon, and has a BA Hons. degree in Catholic Theology from the University of Human Sciences in Strasbourg. At this university, he also studied Social Sciences, majoring in Sociology, and completed his master's degree in 1980 and his PhD in 1984. He was awarded a scholarship by the French Government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1978/1984). He taught sociology at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in Lisbon, and also at the University of Beira Interior (UBI), before moving to the University of Minho, in 1990, where he has been Full Professor since 1998. His academic training was marked by Fr. Bento Domingues, Edgar Morin, Francis Jacques, Friedrich Kittler, Georg Simmel, Gilbert Durand, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, Jean-François Lyotard, Jürgen Habermas, Karl-Otto Apel, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Michel de Certeau, Michel Foucault, Michel Maffesoli, Pierre Bourdieu, Roland Barthes and Walter Benjamin, which is why he is predominantly identified with the comprehensive method of the Human and social Sciences, that is founded on discourse and thought, and, on a secondary basis, with the explanatory method, that is founded on number and measure, to paraphrase a classic categorisation by the German philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey. His areas of teaching and research are Sociology of Culture and Communication, Social Semiotics, Theory and Discourse Analysis, Visual Studies, Media Arts, Scientific Policy, Cultural Studies, Intercultural Communication, Lusophone Studies and Salazarism. He has served as visiting professor at the following universities: Autonomous University of Barcelona; Autonomous University of Madrid; Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte); Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo; Pontifical University of Salamanca; Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (at Porto Alegre); University of Cape Verde; University of Santiago de Compostela; Université catholique de Louvain; Federal University of Bahia; Federal University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte); Université Paris-Descartes (Sorbonne); Université Paul Valéry, Montpellier; Universidade Politécnica (of Mozambique)in Maputo; Mackenzie Presbyterian University (São Paulo); Universidade Zambeze (Beira, Mozambique). In 2002, when interviewed by academic, Virgínia Moreira and editor and academic, José Manuel Paquete de Oliveira, they pointed out that it was "just and correct" to include Moisés de Lemos Martins among the most distinguished "Portuguese researchers" "in the exchange process", not only Luso-Brazilian, but more extensively throughout Portuguese-speaking countries. In 2016, the Portal Mutirão, of the Methodist University of São Paulo, identified Moisés de Lemos Martins’ academic profile, highlighting his pedagogical, scientific and associative work. The Portal Mutirão was created in 2016 by José Marques de Melo, journalist, university professor and pioneer of Communication Science studies in Brazil, to distinguish not only the uniqueness of the research work pursued in Brazil in this scientific field, but also of academics from all over the world who have helped develop and consolidate the academic community of Communication Sciences in Brazil. In 2013, with the Brazilian academics Antônio Hohlfeldt and Cicilia Peruzzo, from Intercom (the Brazilian Society for Interdisciplinary Communication Studies), Moisés de Lemos Martins helped Tomás José Jane, Professor at the Higher School of Journalism, in Maputo, Mozambique, to found Acicom – the Mozambican Association of Information and Communication Sciences. Later that year, with Margarita Ledo, Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Moisés de Lemos Martins helped Silvino Lopes Évora, Professor at the University of Cape Verde, in Praia, Cape Verde, to found Mediacom – the Cape Verdean Association of Communication Sciences. Moisés de Lemos Martins is an honorary member of Mediacom. Management functions Moisés de Lemos Martins directed the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Beira Interior between 1988/1990, and in 1989 created the BA Hons. degree in Social Communication and in 1990, the magazine Anais Universitarios, of which he was the first editor. He was director of the BA Hons. degree course in Sociology at this university. Between 1988 and 1990, he taught History of Sociology. In conjunction with Aníbal Alves, emeritus professor at the University of Minho, he helped set up the BA Hons. degree in Media Studies (Comunicação Social) at this university. In 1991, he began teaching Semiotics, Theory and Analysis of Discourse and Sociology of Communication. At the University of Minho, from 1990 to 1993, he directed the BA Hons. course in Sociology of Organizations, founded by Manuel da Silva Costa in 1989, in which he taught the discipline, Sociology of Power. With Albertino Gonçalves, Professor of Sociology at the University of Minho, he created the master's degree in Sociology of Culture and Lifestyles (1996-2011), in which he taught Sociology of Culture, and the master's degree in communication, Art and Culture, in 2011, in which he taught Sociology of Communication. For ten years, he was the director of the Institute of Social Sciences at the University of Minho (1996/2000 and 2004/2010). In 2006, he was one of the candidates to be elected Rector of this university. He was the first Director of the PhD course in Communication Sciences at the University of Minho (2009/2011), in which he taught, Social Semiotics. He promoted the teaching and research project in Cultural Studies, at the University of Minho's Institute of Social Sciences, and was the director of the PhD programme in Cultural Studies (2010/2015), a joint initiative of the University of Minho and the University of Aveiro. He teaches Sociology of Culture in the PhD programme in Cultural Studies. He was the promoter and director of the PhD programme in “Communication Studies: Technology, Culture and Society” (2013/2015), funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), which involved six Portuguese research centres in five universities. He taught the discipline, Intercultural Communication, in this PhD. In 2018, he helped found a PhD course in Language, Culture and Society, at the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences, of Zambezi University, in the city of Beira, Mozambique, where he taught Intercultural Communication. He was the co-founder of Sopcom – Portuguese Association of Communication Sciences, and its President (2005/2015). He was also the president of Lusocom – the Lusophone Federation of Communication Sciences (2011/2015). He was editor of the Anuário Internacional de Comunicação Lusófona (International Yearbook of Lusophone Communication), a scientific journal published by Lusocom (2007/2011). He also presided over Confibercom – the Ibero-American Confederation of Scientific and Academic Communication Associations (2012/2015). Since 2019, he has been the Secretary General of Assibercom – the Ibero-American Association of Communication Researchers. A comprehensive and transcultural social theory Right after the publication of A Linguagem, a Verdade e o Poder – Ensaio de Semiótica Social (Language, Truth and Power – a Essay on Social Semiotics), in 2002, Moisés de Lemos Martins was described by Eduardo Prado Coelho, university professor, essayist and literary critic, as “a cornerstone of communication studies in Portugal”. He said that this is because his work makes it possible “not only to retrace an entire fundamental theoretical path, but also places us at the centre of the major issues of analysis of contemporary reality (in this point - where linguistics, rhetoric, critical theory, sociology, anthropology and psychoanalysis become intertwined and blurred, and sometimes even redistribute themselves)”. Luís Carmelo, a writer and university professor, after reading A Linguagem, a Verdade e o Poder, in 2003, wrote: "The role of Moisés de Lemos Martins has been rich, stimulating and productive, as a healthy polemicist within the scientific and academic community. It is this desire to dispute ideas and encourage lifelong learning that perhaps best defines what the author tries to describe, at the end of his essay, as 'the passion of the university'”. Techné and Bios Discussion of the fusion of technique (techné) with life (bios) - the debate par excellence in relation to contemporary experience - was begun by Moisés de Lemos Martins in A Linguagem, a Verdade e a Poder. A decade later, he published, Crise no Castelo da Cultura – Das Estrelas para os Ecrãs (Crisis in the Castle of Culture – From the Stars to the Screens), published in 2011 (2nd ed. 2017), in which he began by exploring the ideas of Deleuze and Guattari, in terms of their invocation of biotechnology and genetic engineering, and discussion of implants, prostheses, hybridity, the transhuman and the post-organic and of Lyotard, in relation to his discussion of “logotechnics”. Moisés de Lemos Martins argues that as Deleuze and Guattari point out, the machine is desiring and desire is machined, which means that there are “as many living beings in the machine as machines in living beings”. In relation to “logotechnics”, as pointed out by Lyotard, we are talking about information technologies. But this movement, in which technique merges in a hybrid form with life, leads to miniaturisation of technique and the immaterialisation of the digital world. As Maria da Luz Correia mentions, in Crise no Castelo da Cultura. Das Estrelas para os Ecrãs, 2011, Moisés de Lemos Martins "combines the work of more than ten years in communication studies and the theory of culture". She argues that in this essay about the movement of total immersion of technique in people's and bodies, “the sociologist focuses on the crisis of human existence, the contemporary mal de vivre, which results from technological experience – from network communication to biotechnologies – and from the conversion of our lives into the logic of the global market”. She adds that in the wake of that which he describes as “thinking about difference” – by Bataille, Klossovski, Blanchot, Foucault, Lyotard, Deleuze, Derrida and Baudrillard – Moisés de Lemos Martins “recognizes the condition of someone, who crosses a night of times, is precarious, given that history is stored in gigs, emotions are processed in bits, and bodies are composed of pixels. At times bored by highly-regulated daily life, at times stunned by unruly screens, we accept, but not without a certain spleen, the retreat of the word in the face of the torrent of technological images, the bankruptcy of identity in the face of the labyrinthine 'flow' of passions, or the failure of citizenship in the face of imperatives of efficiency in the global economy". Using Foucault's concept of the apparatus/dispositif, and following the ideas of F. Kittler, Moisés de Lemos Martins was always interested in posing “theoretical-cultural questions to technology”. Indeed, as Deleuze remarks, “we belong to social apparatuses (dispositifs) and act within them. We call the innovation of a device in relation to its predecessors actuality, our actuality. The new is the actual, not what we are, but rather what we are becoming, what we are in the process of becoming, that is, the Other, our becoming-other", or in Ricoeur's expression “the self as another”. The various cultural-theoretical questions that Moisés de Lemos Martins poses in relation to technology include the questioning of the “total” (Ernst Jünger, 1930) and “infinite” (Sloterdijk, 2000) movement of mobilisation, from the human to competition, as well as Kittler's idea about the questioning of hardware, programming, automation and regulation. In short, following in the footsteps of Martin Heidegger, Moisés de Lemos Martins questions what he calls “technical autotelism”, which translates into a form of “messianism without telos”. In his analysis of the contemporary challenges posed by Communication, Moisés de Lemos Martins focuses above all on intersubjective and contextual relationships, given that his sociological theory is comprehensive. But, together with Heidegger and Deleuze, he also questions the reality of technique (techné). And the reality that is being questioned is its hybrid form, it is technique as an animal (a “kind of animal”, in the words of Giorgio Agamben), “it is the alloy that mixes the organic and non-organic, it is the hybrid of the human and non-human, the hybrid of sensitivity and organic matter”. Moisés de Lemos Martins' proposal for a sociology of technique marks what Perniola (1990) calls the Egyptian version of our culture, attention paid to the inorganic within the organic. It is the idea that the mineral world can be fuelled by the excitement of an inversion, which is summed up by the figure of “technical individuality”, as proposed by Gilbert Simondon, Gilles Deleuze, Norbert Elias, Bruno Latour and Bernard Stiegler. But the proposal of Moisés de Lemos Martins opens up to the theory of materiality, above all linked to the ideas of Heidegger, Kittler e Simondon. He also uses the concepts of actor/network and mediation, by Latour (2005); of apparatus (dispositif) by Foucault (2000); of agency, by Deleuze and Guattari (1980); and of erotic objects, by Perniola (1994/2004). These ideas are also articulated with the “materialist turn”, identified by Bennett and Joyce (2010), and also with the “non-human turn”, referred to by Richard Grusin, which accentuate both the agency of objects and their materiality. In line with the ideas proposed by Grusin, Moisés de Lemos Martins recognises that the media and media technology have operated and continue to operate epistemologically, as knowledge producers. But he also recognises within them a technical, bodily and material functioning of producers and shapers of individual and collective affections, and of producers of feelings in human and non-human agency relations. In this respect, Moisés de Lemos Martins' viewpoint on digital culture draws close to André Lemos' understanding of “Epistemology of communication, neo-materialism and digital culture”. It is not possible to limit the analysis of social networks, fake news, the practice of selfies, the issue of design and the privacy of the Internet of Things, as well as the culture of platforms, to "a macro-social analysis of the economic structure of data capitalism", nor to a communication relationship between individuals in a specific situation. The current communication challenge requires taking into account, for example, the materiality and agency of the objects involved in them: interfaces; algorithmic logic, database construction; the principles hidden in technical documents and patents. Techné and Aesthesis Moisés de Lemos Martins considers that technique (techné) is the condition of time, which is why, in the current world, the shift from the realm of words and ideas to the realm of images, sounds and emotions has been accentuated, involving a shift from “ideology to the imagination”. This question runs throughout his work, especially from the early 21st century onwards. The final chapter of A Linguagem, a Verdade e a Poder, that he published in 2002, was already a forerunner to his subsequent works. Society has definitively converted itself to image and sound, both of which are technologically-produced. Society has gained an audio-visual dimension, signalling a process of translation from argumentative rationality to emotional rationality, from the realm of logos and ethos, to the realm of pathos, from ideology to “sensology”, as Mário Perniola remarks. A new reality now occupies the social scene. The look (the image, appearance, visual); the brand or mark (that which the classics called the “example”); timing (opportune timing, or kairos); marketing (the art of persuasion) are already the messengers of this new reality. In Perniola's words, technical objects have sex appeal. In the meantime, Crise no Castelo da Cultura - Das Estrelas para os Ecrãs (Crisis in the Castle of Culture - From the Stars to the Screens), which Moisés de Lemos Martins published in 2011, constituted a proposal that not only accounts for this shift from logos and ethos to pathos, but also the shift |

considered it sacrilegious. Time magazine noted: That the toll was not higher was in part a tribute to the primary tactic U.S. law enforcement officials are now using to thwart terrorists—patience. But most of all, perhaps, it was due to the courageous intervention of three Muslim ambassadors, Egypt's Ashraf Ghorbal, Pakistan's Sahabzada Yaqub-Khan and Iran's Ardeshir Zahedi. Background The leader of the attack was Hamaas Abdul Khaalis, a former national secretary of the Nation of Islam. Khaalis was born Ernest McGhee in Indiana in 1921. Discharged from the U.S. Army on grounds of mental instability, he worked as a jazz drummer in New York City before converting to Islam and changing his name to Hamaas Khaalis. He became prominent in the ministries and school of the Nation of Islam and was appointed its national secretary in the early 1950s. Khaalis split with the Nation of Islam in 1958 to found a rival Islamic organisation, the Hanafi Movement. In 1968, he was arrested for attempted extortion but released on grounds of mental illness. The same year, militant students at Howard University formed a group called the Kokayi family. When that was disbanded, many of its members became members of Hamaas' Hanafi American Mussulman's Rifle and Pistol Club, which was given a group membership charter by the National Rifle Association. In 1972, Hamaas published an open letter attacking the leadership and beliefs of the Nation of Islam. A year later, five men broke into Khaalis' Washington, D.C. home and murdered five of his children, his nine-day-old grandson and another man. The murderers were arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Khaalis claimed the men were associated with the Nation of Islam, and that the government had not held the Nation of Islam accountable. Building takeovers On March 9, 1977, seven members of Khaalis' group burst into the headquarters of B'nai B'rith at 1640 Rhode Island Ave N.W. in downtown Washington, south of Khaalis' headquarters at 7700 16th Street NW and took over 100 hostages. Less than an hour later, three men entered the Islamic Center of Washington, and took eleven hostages. At 2:20 pm, two Hanafis entered the District Building, three blocks from the White House. They went to the fifth floor looking for important people to take hostage. When an elevator opened the hostage-takers thought they were under assault and fired, killing Maurice Williams, a reporter for WHUR-FM radio, and injuring DC Protective Service Division Police Officer Mack Cantrell. Then-councilman Marion Barry was struck by a ricochet in the chest and two others were wounded. "Throughout the siege Khaalis denounced the Jewish judge who had presided at the trial of his family's killers. 'The Jews control the courts and the press,' " he repeatedly charged. Demands Khaalis and his followers wanted those convicted for the 1973 murders handed over to them, presumably for execution. They wanted those that were convicted of killing Malcolm X. They also wanted to receive visits from Muslim leader Warith Deen Mohammed and champion boxer Muhammad Ali, long an active Nation of Islam supporter. Khaalis also demanded that he be refunded $750 in legal fees caused by a contempt of court citation issued in response to shouting at one of defendants on trial for murdering seven of his family members. Time noted: "He also wanted the recently released film Mohammad, Messenger of God, to be banned on the grounds that it is sacrilegious. Khaalis' concern over the film was thought to have triggered the attack." He made this determination about the sacrilegious nature of the film based on the mistaken impression that Mohammad was a character seen or heard in the film, which is not the case. The main characters are relatives whose portrayal is not forbidden by religious tradition.

Demands Khaalis and his followers wanted those convicted for the 1973 murders handed over to them, presumably for execution. They wanted those that were convicted of killing Malcolm X. They also wanted to receive visits from Muslim leader Warith Deen Mohammed and champion boxer Muhammad Ali, long an active Nation of Islam supporter. Khaalis also demanded that he be refunded $750 in legal fees caused by a contempt of court citation issued in response to shouting at one of defendants on trial for murdering seven of his family members. Time noted: "He also wanted the recently released film Mohammad, Messenger of God, to be banned on the grounds that it is sacrilegious. Khaalis' concern over the film was thought to have triggered the attack." He made this determination about the sacrilegious nature of the film based on the mistaken impression that Mohammad was a character seen or heard in the film, which is not the case. The main characters are relatives whose portrayal is not forbidden by religious tradition. The kidnappers made some of their demands on air by calling the then popular broadcast journalist Max Robinson. Negotiations and resolution When Khaalis was informed that people were worried about the fate of the hostages, Khaalis said, "Nobody showed any concern when my family was killed several years earlier." He told a reporter, Get on the phone and call President Carter and some of those senators that never sent a call, a condolence message. Do you not realize when my family was wiped out [no] one said one word? Not one. Not even a preacher. Not even a minister. Not even a spiritual advisor. Not even a city council member. So, I'm very glad you're worried now. When they wiped out my family, I didn't hear about your sympathy and emotions. I got a letter the other day from my brother telling me how the brother was swaggering around in jail, the killer of Malcolm, walking around with guards protecting him. Well tell him it's over. Tell him it's payday. The money from the contempt of court citation was returned and the movie premiere was cancelled. Convicted killers of his family and Malcolm X were not delivered.

evolved since the first race in 1906; the race as held on the road from St. Moritz to Champfer and as won by the President of Alpina Ski Club Philip Mark and his horse Blitz (German for lightning). Today, the race is run similar to other horse races, with all horses starting at the same time and running around the track. Steering is very difficult complicating the race significantly requiring great strength and skill on behalf of the athletes. The skier with the most points after the three races on consecutive Sundays is crowned the "King of the Engadin Valley". In addition to skijoring, traditional flat and trotting races over different distances are held.
