He’s naked and in an all-too-white room. The hair on his head has recently been shaved, though his beard is full. The handcuffs shackling his wrists appear oversized for his small frame. A yellow earplug is jammed in only one ear. This photograph is the public’s first, and so far only, look at a War on Terror detainee in a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) black site: a secret detention center set up to hold and interrogate prisoners who have not been charged with a crime. It’s a surprising image, stark and overexposed, both in terms of how bright the photograph is and how naked the man is. Someone employed by the CIA took this photograph, though we don’t know who. But we do know why it was taken, and who it is in the frame. His name is Ammar al-Baluchi, a detainee at Guantanamo Bay currently facing capital charges for the 9/11 attacks. This photograph, likely from 2004, is from the period before he was transported to the United States’s offshore penal colony in 2006. Baluchi was one of at least 119 Muslim men held incommunicado by the CIA for years in its global network of clandestine black sites, where he and at least 38 others were repeatedly subject to “enhanced interrogation techniques,” a US-government euphemism for torture. Get the latest art news, reviews and opinions from Hyperallergic. Daily Weekly Opportunities From May 2003 to September 2006, Baluchi was secretly shuffled between five black sites, including one in Romania, where this photo is believed to have been taken. (The photo, recently declassified, was provided to me by Baluchi’s lawyers, who added the black band across his midsection to preserve his dignity. I broke the story surrounding the photograph and Baluchi for the Guardian earlier this year.) Whenever any of these Muslim men were moved, CIA protocol dictated that field officers photograph each one, both naked and clothed, “to document his physical condition at the time of transfer.” The image before us isn’t just any photograph. It’s visual evidence of crimes authorized and committed by the United States government, an entry in the annals of self-reported atrocity photography. In all, the CIA took some 14,000 photographs of the agency’s black sites around the world, but we, the public, have never been able to see any of them until now. There are plenty of examples of this macabre genre. Israel produces it . So does Syria’s Bashar al-Assad . As did the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. The Nazis . The Soviets . The French . Governments of different political leanings have contributed to this dark archive, uniting the magical technology of the camera with the awesome power of detention and even death. They take pictures of their own crimes and immediately file them away, in an acrobatic technocratic act of simultaneous remembering and forgetting. The question is why. A photograph, presumably, is meant to be seen. These images, on the other hand, were intended to record but almost never to be viewed. They were certainly never meant to be seen by the public. Of course, anyone who has used their phone camera to take a picture of a receipt knows that a photograph doesn’t have only a public function. It can also operate as a trace of memory and documentation of a transaction. Self-reported atrocity photographs, indeed, fulfill the record-keeping needs of a government bureaucracy. The fact that the CIA was using black sites was revealed to the public in 2005, but it was not until 2015 that the photo archive documenting them was exposed. In response to that revelation, a US government official described the photographs as having been “taken for budgetary reasons to document how money was being spent.” Behold the banality of bureaucratic evil. Photography, since its inception, has subjected Muslim men to coercive violence. In 1850, barely a decade after the invention of photography in 1839, French travel writer Maxime Du Camp sojourned with the novelist Gustave Flaubert through Egypt, Nubia, Palestine, and Syria, taking pictures along the way. On the Nile, Du Camp routinely photographed one of the sailors on his steamer, Hajj Ishmael, usually with the latter draped in just a loin cloth. “He was an extremely handsome Nubian,” Du Camp writes in his travelogue . “I sent him climbing up onto the ruins which I wanted to photograph, and that way, I was able to obtain an exact scale of proportions.” The challenge in early photography, with its long exposure times, was to get your subjects to sit still. Du Camp came up with a solution that he proudly described to his friend, the French poet Théophile Gautier. “I finally arrived at the idea of a rather baroque deception that will make you, dear Théophile, understand something about the gullible naiveté of these poor Arabs,” he wrote. “I told him that the copper pipe of my lens jutting out of the camera was a cannon that would burst into shrapnel if he had the misfortune to move while I was pointing it in his direction, a story which immobilized him completely. Persuaded, Hajj Ishmael did not move for more than a minute.” I suppose there’s a reason why we talk about a “photo shoot.” “To photograph people is to violate them,” Susan Sontag writes in On Photography (1977), “by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as the camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is sublimated murder — a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.” More than any other subgenre, it is self-reported atrocity photography that most closely approximates the murder Sontag describes. During the first two years of Bashar al-Assad’s violent repression of a popular uprising in Syria, a photographer who worked for the military police was assigned the duty of taking pictures of the corpses of civilians the regime killed. The bodies were mostly in military hospitals, often in a severely mutilated state. Initially, each corpse had the person’s name written on it. Eventually, names were replaced with three sets of numbers, the first indicating who the person was, the second pointing to the branch of the intelligence service responsible for the imprisonment, and the third referring to the person’s medical report, stripping them of the final remnants of their humanity. It became immediately clear to the photographer, who is now known by the pseudonym “Caesar,” that these people were being tortured to death. Government higher-ups required his photos as proof that their orders to punish and kill dissidents were being carried out. For two years, he did his work while smuggling copies of over 52,000 of those photos out of the country, before defecting in 2013. His photos have since been displayed around Europe and North America and have been instrumental in proving Assad’s ruthlessness. In Caesar’s photographs, mostly captured with a Nikon Coolpix P50 , the people photographed are already dead. The camera operates as an apparatus of confirmation, the final stage of the government’s killing machine. The Khmer Rouge also systematically documented the atrocities they committed. More than a fifth of the Cambodian population died during its genocidal rule between 1975 and 1979. The Khmer Rouge’s most notorious political prison and torture center Tuol Sleng, also known as S-21, was a converted high school in the middle of Phnom Penh, through which more than 14,000 people were shuttled. Fewer than a dozen survived. Each person was photographed upon entry, many by Nhem En, S-21’s chief photographer, who was only 15 years old when the Khmer Rouge sent him to China to study photography. He returned six months later with a Chinese box camera and began working at S-21. What we see in the photographs of S-21 is the sober reality that those brought and photographed here are marked for death, even though, unlike Caesar’s photos, they are still alive when photographed. By capturing the imminence of their demise, the photographer closes in on killing them, not by knife or bullet but by immortalizing them. Death pervades the frame of the living, which makes a photo of Kong Saman , for example, all the more stunning. A child’s tiny, bony arm and hand extend upward, grabbing the woman’s sleeve. We can’t see the child’s face, but the gesture is enough to remind us of the horrifying fact that young life coexists with mechanized death. In both the Syrian and Khmer Rouge examples, the photographers themselves have been identified. That knowledge, along with the change of venue (from hidden government files to art museum or US Congress) and the political purpose of their display, which serves to prove the brutality of the exhibiting state’s enemies, has radically changed our perception and reception of these images. What was once meant as evidence of efficiency has transformed into proof of brutality. If the photographs previously functioned to label enemies who had been exterminated, they now serve as mementos to identify and remember specific victims. The Tuol Sleng photographs gained particular fame after a 1997 exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art featuring about 20 images from the archive. The Caesar photos have been exhibited widely, from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to the European Union Parliament and beyond. But exhibiting the photos in a museum or public hall desensitizes the viewer by making the images feel as if they are fully understood objects, either as historical artifacts or works of art, quite unlike the Baluchi photograph, which remains opaque. None of this extra knowledge is brought to this now 20-year-old photograph of Ammar al-Baluchi. We don’t know who took the picture, and it hasn’t been exhibited in any galleries or political halls of power. All we know is that this is but one of 14,000 photos, that Baluchi was tortured by the CIA, and that no one in the US government has ever been held accountable for the torture program it put into place following the 9/11 attacks. Self-reported atrocity photography, however, transcends government bureaucracy, in the same way that photography is more than simply a visual record. Like all images of its kind, the Baluchi photo records a massive imbalance of power: He is naked before the photographer’s lens and helpless before the machine of the state. Despite this disparity, Baluchi looks straight through the lens with a defiant, wounded, and all-too-human expression. With that gaze, he manages to resist his own soft murder. Despite his shrunken size and condition, he fills the photograph with life and presence. While his body appears defeated, his face looks ready to free himself of the photograph by force of will alone. And that may be the greatest surprise of all. The irony behind this image is that, while it is Baluchi in the frame, it is the nameless photographer, and the apparatus of power behind him, who remain in hiding. We hope you enjoyed this article!

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ third bid to be released on bail won’t be decided until next weekFollowing arguably the most dominant year of golf since Tiger Woods was in his prime, Scottie Scheffler received the PGA Tour Player of the Year award on Tuesday night. It's the third straight year Scheffler has won the honor, and the World No. 1 joins Woods as the only players to win the Jack Nicklaus Award three years in a row. The award is determined by a vote of PGA Tour members. According to a news release, Scheffler received 91 percent of the vote, with Xander Schauffele and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy the only other nominees. Scheffler, 28, was the first player to win seven official PGA Tour events in a calendar year since Tiger Woods in 2007. Those victories were at some of the most prestigious events on the schedule, against some of the most elite fields. He became the first player to go back-to-back at The Players Championship, won his second career major title at the Masters and earned his other five wins at signature events: the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the RBC Heritage, the Memorial Tournament, the Travelers Championship and the season-ending Tour Championship. Though not a tour event, Scheffler captured the Olympic gold medal for men's golf at the Paris Games. He also helped the United States defeat the International team at the Presidents Cup in Montreal. "Scottie took on challenges from the best players in the world on the biggest stages all season, and being honored as PGA Tour Player of the Year is the ultimate sign of respect from his peers," PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. --Field Level MediaAmid traffic, Utah walked to Leafs' arena pregame - ESPN

Making Winter Heating Eco-Friendly: Top Tips for a Greener Home HVAC System 11-26-2024 12:40 AM CET | Associations & Organizations Press release from: ABNewswire As winter approaches, homeowners are turning to their heating systems to stay warm, but many are also seeking ways to reduce energy consumption and make their homes more eco-friendly. Temp Air Heating & Cooling, a leading HVAC service provider in La Puente, CA, serving Los Angeles County and surrounding areas, offers expert tips on how to heat your home efficiently and sustainably this winter. From system upgrades to smart thermostat settings, these green strategies can help reduce energy use, lower bills, and benefit the environment. Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient HVAC System An outdated heating system can consume significantly more energy than newer, high-efficiency models. Upgrading to an Energy Star-certified HVAC system can reduce your energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions, saving you money and minimizing environmental impact. High-efficiency systems operate using advanced technology, which allows them to provide consistent warmth while using less energy. Temp Air Heating & Cooling offers a range of energy-efficient HVAC solutions tailored to fit the heating needs of any home. Install a Programmable or Smart Thermostat One of the easiest ways to improve the efficiency of your heating system is by installing a programmable or smart thermostat [ https://tempairsystem.com/hvac-smart-wifi-thermostats-la-puente-ca/ ]. These thermostats allow you to set heating schedules that align with your daily routine, reducing the system's operation during times when heating is not needed. Smart thermostats can even adjust temperatures based on real-time conditions and can be controlled remotely, allowing for precise energy management. Seal Drafts and Insulate Properly Proper insulation and sealing drafts are essential steps for maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature without overworking your HVAC system. By sealing gaps around windows, doors, and vents, you can prevent cold air from entering and warm air from escaping. Adding insulation, especially in the attic and walls, also helps reduce heat loss, meaning your system won't need to work as hard to keep your home warm. Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance Routine maintenance [ https://tempairsystem.com/service-agreements-la-puente/ ] can greatly improve your heating system's efficiency. Temp Air Heating & Cooling recommends scheduling a maintenance check-up before winter to ensure that your system is operating at peak performance. Regular tune-ups, including filter changes, can help prevent energy waste and extend the life of your HVAC system. Reduce Energy Use by Zoning Your Home Zoning allows you to heat only the rooms that are in use, reducing the amount of energy needed to warm the entire home. By dividing your home into heating zones, you can tailor the temperature in each area based on occupancy. This can be particularly beneficial for larger homes, where heating unused areas can waste significant amounts of energy. Temp Air Heating & Cooling offers zoning solutions that can be customized for homes of all sizes. Utilize Ceiling Fans to Circulate Warm Air Ceiling fans can help circulate warm air during the winter months, reducing the need for continuous heating. By setting ceiling fans to rotate clockwise at a low speed, warm air that rises to the ceiling is pushed down to the living area, making the space feel warmer and allowing you to lower the thermostat setting. About Temp Air Heating & Cooling Temp Air Heating & Cooling is a trusted HVAC service provider located in La Puente, CA, proudly serving Los Angeles County and the surrounding areas. Specializing in residential and commercial heating and cooling solutions, Temp Air Heating & Cooling is dedicated to delivering high-quality, energy-efficient HVAC services to enhance comfort and reduce environmental impact.

Southern Co. stock outperforms competitors despite losses on the day

Share Tweet Share Share Email The online sports gaming market is currently valued at $16.52bn and is growing at a rate of 10.45% year-on-year. While there are various reasons behind this growth, the real driving force is technological advancements. We are talking about the combined impact of sports analytics, artificial intelligence, and mobile platforms. These innovations change your experience of online gaming for sports, making it more engaging and data-centric than it has ever been. With real-time data and personalized insights, technology is making it easier than ever to improve your winning odds and make well-calculated wagering decisions. Here’s a deeper look at the impact of emerging technology on eSports and what this means for passionate gamers like you. The Power of Predictive Analytics AI is changing the way we do many things. It’s only about time it leaves its mark on online sports gaming. We’re seeing sportsbook apps harness the power of sports analytics to transform your gaming experience. These platforms analyze enormous data sets of player statistics, team performances, and historical game results. These are used to produce highly accurate predictions that will help you refine your gaming strategy. Incidentally, predictive analytics also allows us to see patterns that were not obvious before. Use those insights to improve the analysis of team strengths and weaknesses. With instant access to real-time data and nearly accurate predictions, you can change or fine-tune your strategies as the game unfolds. Another big plus is the personalized recommendations. The app picks up games that suit your interest based on your favorite teams and past wagers. This way, you bet on what you know best, which can significantly increase your odds of winning. Improved Security With Blockchain and Cryptocurrency With the rise of eSports culture comes some inevitable challenges, especially with regard to security and transparency. Let’s look at how blockchain and cryptocurrency are rising to these challenges. Blockchain technology ensures that every transaction is secure and tamper-proof, so you can be sure your wagers are being handled fairly. Transparency prevents fraud and illegal betting, so you can sleep well knowing that your funds are secure. The “mainstreamization” of blockchain technology has made digital currencies one of the most trending payment methods for in-game transactions amongst users. Sports cryptocurrencies are specifically designed for wagering, offering tokens that simplify and speed up your transactions. You can use these tokens directly on sportsbook platforms, eliminating the need for traditional banking methods. For example, instead of transferring money through a bank, individuals can use sports crypto coins to place their bets instantly. This not only saves time but also reduces transaction costs, allowing people to play more efficiently. Plus, most sports cryptocurrencies have inherent rewards and bonuses. In most cases, you earn tokens through loyalty programs or by participating in special promotions that can be reinvested into your wagers. This way, you are more likely to find a more exciting and rewarding experience for the players. Eliminate the Risk Altogether With all that said, if you are a newbie in online sports gaming or just a casual gamer seeking pure fun minus the risk, look for a free-to-play sportsbook app . These apps are your gateway to promotional sweepstakes games that let you place bets with sweeps coins – a type of virtual currency. Some apps are taking the fun quotient up a notch with social networking features. As noted by Rebet, interactive elements allow users to exchange ideas, challenge their friends, and build an active community of followers – all without spending a dime from their pocket. These apps cater to both new and experienced players who want to have a great time and sharpen their games simultaneously. The Mobile Revolution As the smartphone penetration rate continues to go upward, more and more people are using their smartphones for virtually everything under the sun – from playing games to browsing for recipes. To keep up with this emerging trend, sportsbooks are reconfiguring their design, layouts, and features to make them responsive and adaptable to smaller devices. As a result, user interfaces (UI) are becoming more intuitive, enabling users to place bets quickly with just a few taps. Push notifications keep you updated on live events, odds changes, and special promotions so you never miss an opportunity. Besides, many sportsbook applications also support live streaming, as well as real-time updates to let you both watch and play at the same time. Some also feature voice commands with highly responsive gesture controls for an effortless gaming experience. In short, the future of eSports is online.
