Notes and Links to Timothy Welbeck's Work     Timothy Welbeck, Esq., is an affiliated faculty member in the Department of Africology and African American Studies, where he previously served as an Assistant Professor of Instruction. There he teaches an array of popular courses, including a course he developed entitled Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of the m.A.A.d city. More broadly, Timothy's scholarly work focuses on contemporary issues of racial identity in America, the intersection of racial classifications and the law in the American context, contemporary African American culture, and hip-hop as a microcosm of the Black experience. Timothy has also written several peer-reviewed journal articles including “We Have Come Into This House: The Black Church, Florida's Stop W.O.K.E., and the Fight to Teach Black History.” He also authored “Specter of Reform: The late Sen. Arlen Specter's Criminal Justice Reform, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, and its Role in Expanding the Modern Prison Industrial Complex,” explores the impact of the infamous 1994 Crime Bill in providing the infrastructure for mass incarceration within the United States. The research, funded by the Arlen Specter Center fellowship, examines how the federalization of criminal law, pursuant to the Commerce Clause, has led to expansive growth in federal law enforcement, imprisonment, and thus setting the foundation for the modern carceral state. Timothy's article “People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths to Rhythms: Hip-Hop's Continuation of the Enduring Tradition of African and African American Rhetorical Forms and Tropes,” examines hip-hop's continuation of centuries-old African cultural norms and aesthetic values. As an attorney, Timothy has long been an advocate for justice, using his legal expertise to defend society's most vulnerable individuals, including survivors of human trafficking, survivors of police brutality, and the indigent. He has also provided crisis management, guidance, and legal counsel to churches and nonprofit organizations across the globe. In that capacity, Timothy is the Chair of the Board of Directors for The Witness Foundation, and an Advisory Board member of For the Future Organization. Timothy has also served as the Civil Rights Attorney for the Philadelphia Chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), where he defended the constitutionally protected civil rights and liberties of those who experience discrimination and harassment based on their faith, race, ethnicity, and/or national origin, particularly members of the Muslim community within Pennsylvania.  As a hip-hop artist, he has released four full length recordings, shared the stage with national and international acts (Janelle Monáe, Jidenna, EPMD, Dead Prez, and Immortal Technique), won songwriting contests (Session 1 Grand Prize in 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest), garnered high compliments from hip-hop legends, industry taste-makers (Sway) and record executives (VP of A&R at Def Jam, Lenny S).  His latest work, entitled ‘Trane of Thought, is a live recorded hip-hop album that melds songs from his first two albums the musical style of John Coltrane. Timothy presently serves as the Pastor of Formation and a Teaching Elder at Epiphany Church of Wilmington, bringing over twenty years of ministry experience. He fosters spiritual growth through expositional and topical preaching, community engagement, trainings, workshops and spiritual counseling. In his role, he equips Epiphany members to live out their faith practically in their communities and prepare others to do the same. Timothy's work as an attorney and scholar has allowed him to contribute to various media outlets, such as: Axios, BBC Radio 4, CBS, CNN, The Huffington Post, NBC, The New York Times, NPR, The Philadelphia Inquirer, REVOLT TV, The Washington Post, VOX, and 900 WURD AM. He has lectured nationally and internationally at esteemed institutions like: Magdalen College of Oxford University, Georgetown University, Swarthmore College, and provided invited keynote addresses at major corporations like 1Hotels, Campbell Soup, and Merrill Lynch. As a contributing writer, Timothy has bylines in The Huffington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, WHYY, and RESPECT Magazine.  He earned his J.D. from Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law and his B.A. from Morehouse College, where he graduated cum laude and was awarded the Corella and Bertrand Bonner Scholarship.

Some attributes of the paranormal mind are dismissed as nonsense, but what can an exploration of pseudoscientific phenomena tell us about accepted scientific and cultural thought? In Parascientific Revolutions: The Science and Culture of the Paranormal, Derek Lee traces the evolution of psi epistemologies and uncovers how these ideas have migrated into scientific fields such as quantum physics and neurology, as well as diverse literary genres including science fiction, ethnic literature, and even government training manuals. Here, Lee is joined in conversation with Alicia Puglionesi.Derek Lee is author of Parascientific Revolutions: The Science and Culture of the Paranormal and assistant professor of literature at Wake Forest University.Alicia Puglionesi is a lecturer in the medicine, science, and humanities program at Johns Hopkins University and is author of Common Phantoms and In Whose Ruins: Power, Possession, and the Landscapes of American Empire and Common Phantoms: An American History of Psychic Science.REFERENCES:Society for Psychical ResearchRoger LuckhurstStargate ProjectIngo SwannStar Fire / Ingo SwannPsitronAdrian DobbsPhilip K. DickWilliam Butler YeatsJoseph E. UscinskiPraise for the book:“Derek Lee engages the ‘pseudoscience' moniker, that ultimate rhetorical insult, and seeks to replace it with a more accurate ‘parascience'—a place where science and that which is other than science meet and express themselves in literally global pathways as distinct as pulp and science fiction, environmental thought, Asian and Indigenous ways of knowing, U.S. secret espionage, and ethnic fiction. Lee shows all of this with consummate skill and rigor, pushing us beyond our present impasses. This thing is not going away. This is a revolution.”—Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of How to Think Impossibly“Derek Lee delves into the rich history of the paranormal to instigate a captivating discussion of its influence on literature and science into the twenty-first century through SF and ethnic fictions with the unproven concepts of parascience—precognition, telekinesis, clairvoyance, spectral communication, and telepathy. A classic in the making!”—Isiah Lavender III, author of Afrofuturism RisingParascientific Revolutions: The Science and Culture of the Paranormal by Derek Lee is available from University of Minnesota Press.

Pocos inventos cambiaron tanto el mundo como el del telégrafo, que hizo su aparición en su modalidad óptica a finales del siglo XVIII. Hasta ese momento para enviar mensajes a larga distancia había que hacerlo personalmente desplazándose. Eso ralentizaba mucho la comunicación y entrañaba infinidad de riesgos. Los mensajes a menudo se perdían por el camino o eran interceptados. Con eso en mente, en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII varios inventores europeos se plantearon construir un sistema de atalayas que mantuviesen entre ellas contacto visual para así, mediante un código determinado previamente, pudiesen transmitirse mensajes en distancias muy largas. Este de las atalayas fue el primer sistema de comunicación discrecional a distancia y se le conoce como telégrafo óptico. Los franceses fueron los primeros en ponerlo en marcha en pleno periodo revolucionario, en 1793. Fue la guerra lo que empujó su aparición y su difusión ya que según empezó a funcionar otras potencias lo adoptaron sin dudarlo. La nueva república tenía a todos los monarcas de Europa en contra por lo que necesitaba un medio de comunicación rápido, fiable y seguro con los distintos frentes en los que combatían. El sistema de torres equipadas con señales móviles funcionó muy bien y en los años siguientes el telégrafo francés se extendió por todo el continente. El sistema óptico fue un gran avance, pero tenía algunos inconvenientes importantes. Por la noche no se podía utilizar, tampoco cuando había niebla o mal tiempo. Por esa razón y aprovechando los nuevos descubrimientos que se habían hecho en el campo de la electricidad, un científico británico llamado Francis Ronalds inventó en 1816 un nuevo tipo de telégrafo que se valía de un generador electrostático. Ofreció su invento al almirantazgo, pero no le vieron utilidad ya que el telégrafo óptico que habían instalado entre Londres y Portsmouth les valía para enviar órdenes a la flota. El invento de Ronalds prometía, pero aún no había llegado su momento. Lo haría dos décadas después cuando, también en Inglaterra, empezaron a tenderse las primeras líneas ferroviarias. De este modo un invento y otro se apoyaron mutuamente. El ferrocarril era veloz y necesitaba una transmisión de señales que también lo fuese. En 1837 entró en funcionamiento el primer telégrafo comercial entre Londres y Birmingham. Era obra de dos inventores británicos llamados William Cooke y Charles Wheatstone. Estaba formado por cinco cables y su uso entrañaba cierta complejidad. Al otro lado del Atlántico, en Estados Unidos, Samuel Morse se propuso mejorarlo reduciendo todo el sistema a un simple cable con dos estaciones en los extremos y lo consiguió. En 1844 las ciudades de Baltimore y Washington quedaron unidas por una línea telegráfica de un solo cable por el que discurría la señal en código creado por el propio Morse y que adoptó su nombre. El código Morse codificaba el alfabeto latino en pulsos eléctricos largos y cortos. A diferencia del de Cooke y Wheatstone, era sencillo de aprender y podía aplicarse en otras aplicaciones como las señales marítimas o mediante lámparas. Años después se convirtió en el código internacional. El telégrafo eléctrico se extendió por todo el planeta en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX pulverizando las distancias. Creció con la red ferroviaria, pero no se quedó ahí. Los ingenieros querían más, en 1866 se tendió la primera línea telegráfica que cruzaba el Atlántico y unos años más tarde Australia quedó unida al resto del mundo mediante un cable telegráfico. Imperios como el británico no hubieran sido posibles sin la expansión del telégrafo que terminó muriendo de éxito ya que inventos como el teléfono o la radio se inspiraron en él y terminaron tomándole el relevo.

Mental Telegraphy by Mark Twain audiobook.

Chinese is one of the oldest still-spoken languages in the world. But when technologies arrived like telegraphy and computing, designed with the Roman alphabet in mind, if Chinese wanted to be able to participate then it had to choose between adapting, or paying a heavy price. And sometimes both were inevitable. Jing Tsu, author of Kingdom of Characters: the Language Revolution that Made China Modern, recounts how Chinese contended with obstacles like alphabetisation, Romanisation and standardisation.

Thomas Alva Edison Episode # 1 Learning From Failure. Dr. Paul Israel of The Edison Papers, Rutgers University speaks about Thomas Edison's childhood in Milan Ohio and Port Huron, Michigan. Not a terribly gifted student, Thomas Edison thrived in learning independently and loved work from a very early age. Saving a young boy from an oncoming train changed the course of his life forever. To show his gratitude, the boy's father taught young Thomas Edison the new Morse telegraphic system. Edison exceed at Telegraphy and began to develop ways which improved the technology. Thomas Edison's father was an interesting character who both succeeded and failed throughout his life.

In the book Gaily the Troubadour, published in 1936, Arthur Guiterman wrote the following poem: First dentistry was painless; Soon oranges were seedless, Then bicycles were chainless The putting green was weedless, And carriages were horseless The college boy hatless, And may lays, enforce-less. The proper diet, fatless, Next, cookery was tireless, Now motor roads are dustless, Telegraphy was wireless, The latest steel is rustless, Cigars were nicotine-less Our T=tennis courts are sodless, And coffee, caffeine less. Our new religions, godless.   Join us as we continue the I Love The 80’s series by examining an elder brother who “Gives Love a Bad Name” because he is full of religion, but far from The Father.

One of the most memorable 2018 Super Bowl television commercials speculated on the loss of Alexa’s voice. At first, the viewer watches a woman at home, commanding the Amazon artificial-intelligence device to provide information. But the woman is surprised when the automaton belts out a cough and goes silent. Back at Amazon headquarters, the Alexa team reassures CEO Jeff Bezos of the backup plan, which entails the use of celebrities such as Gordon Ramsey and Cardi B to fill in for Alexa. Consumers requesting Alexa’s assistance are met with a slew of comical responses. The commercial aims to show the inadequacy and unpredictably of the human as a machine. In this episode, “Not So Artificial Intelligence,” I examine the ways in which assistive technology has become a new terrain for artists like Trisha Baga, Stephanie Dinkins, and Cara deFabio. Each artist has incorporated the use of assistive technology to explore human emotional labor as well as the slippery nature of language. For instance, in deFabio’s performance, Virtual Girlfriend (2017), the artist conducted extensive research on the crowdsourced labor of providing digital companionship to strangers around the world. Baga, meanwhile, examines what might happen when we develop an intimate relationship with a virtual assistant, in her work Mollusca & The Pelvic Floor (2018). The essay titled Telegraphy’s Corporeal Fictions, by the scholar Katherine Stubb, is a point of departure for the episode. Stubb’s work centered on phone operators, who were often women, as the providers of both connectivity and emotional support to the listener. --- Subscribe to Art Practical on iTunes to catch PRNT SCRN as soon as it publishes!

PLAY MID SONG After recording another episode of AADA a few days ago, I started to think about what I could tell my younger 18 year old self That if I could go back in time, what is the one most important thing that's turned me into the human I am today? Im too humble to call myself successful, but I'm happy, and I lead a life I enjoy with no limitations. I got to thinking about what makes a good designer, and what one thing you could teach a young designer that could potentially turn that young designer into a great one When I sit down and really think about the things I've learnt in my short career of 11 years so far There's lots of things I could mention Creative ability Curiosity A passion for learning Networking Being friendly Helping others Having a vision And never giving up Yes, they're all important And really, it's impossible or not really that important to pick one But if I think about one thing specifically It's the simple act of making things And making things often Let me explain Making things can be anything, and I think that's why it's such a powerful concept to any industry In my world, making things meant designing stuff Even before I got my first design job, I've always just designed stuff Ever since I started my design education I became obsessed And started just making stuff all the time Because I was constantly making stuff I was constantly getting better I was getting 10000 hours of practice in just by designing stuff all the time And at the time when I first started out Almost 99 percent of it was for myself Just making stuff completely for the fun of it Some people would call this pointless But for me It was and still is some of the best work I do Because you get to explore things And learn new things And you're doing it for yourself and for nobody else I live for making work like this And making things At the minute I'm spending 2 hours a day making a podcast And some people might think that's quite a lot of time And it is But I do it because I just love the act of making things I'd prefer to spend 2 hours learning and making Than 2 hours vegetating Watching crap television The simple and sometimes complex act of making Has a deeper meaning for me It's like my daily meditation Or my daily exercise for my brain Im a maker at heart And if I'm not making things, I'm getting twitchy and not feeling myself Making stuff makes me a better human in so many ways So if there's one thing young designers should do Is make more stuff And keep making more stuff Because making more stuff than everybody else Automatically makes you better OUTRO  This was AADA.

This week we explore the spaces of sound talking about convolution reverberation and how it can recreate the sound of real spaces. From La Scala in Milan to underground cisterns in Washington state, we dive deep to listen to space, and find that the space shapes more of what we hear than we might otherwise think! With several tracks from the very cool experimental group Telegraphy and our own live recording from the SARC, enjoy being immersed in the sound, and let it reverberate everything around you! Show notes as always over at www.bansheemedia.com Telegraphy tracks from freemusicarchive.org and they include: Infernal Convolution Hearts, Made In Detroit Distorted Reflections When Sounds Are Meaningless Sustain from Sympathetic Resonance LIVE @Sonorities Festival, 2017, performed by yours truly.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I was told that Amateur Radio as a hobby is dead. This isn't news. It's often repeated and the story goes like this. The hobby is full of old dying men who when they finally shuffle off this mortal coil, or as we like to say "become a silent key", will take their hobby with them. There is anecdotal evidence to back this up. An organisation that tasked itself with the preservation of Morse Code in the tradition of Telegraphers and Seafarers is forecasting their demise due to the age of their membership. Other comments along these same lines talk about the futility of Amateur Radio in the face of other communication tools such as the Internet, Mobile Phones and the like. Emergency Services often ignore the Amateur Radio Service because they have all the communication infrastructure they need. People point at the declining numbers of Amateurs and say: "See, I told you, the numbers don't lie!" If you listen to this you might wonder why it is that you're fascinated by this endeavour and what it is that these tales of doom and gloom for the future of our hobby mean for you. Let's start with the numbers. In Australia in 2005 a new class of Amateur License was introduced. It's called the Foundation License and the purpose was to attract new people into the hobby of Amateur Radio. Looking at the numbers we see a year on year increase in the number of Foundation Calls. Many of those go on to gain extra responsibilities by getting a Standard or Advanced License. Some Amateurs let their Foundation Call lapse, so the increase of people entering is actually higher than a simple count of callsigns might suggest. So, we're getting more and more people into the hobby every year. But the overall numbers are declining. How can that be? Well, simple really. We don't have a problem with growth, we have a problem with retention. This means that as a community we're doing great things about getting new people into our wonderful hobby but doing a poor job at making them feel welcome and keep coming back. Those are numbers, but there are other things happening as well. The Internet today is a connection, actually an Inter-connection of networks. You might be surprised to learn that these networks started when we figured out how to use Morse Code on wires to send messages across the globe. While the original copper is probably not being used, though that in itself would be an interesting research project, the Internet today has its roots in the Morse Code driven Telegraphy network. The very first one of those was set up over 200 years ago in 1816. There is a long history of explaining the relationship between wire Telegraph and Radio Communication, featuring long cats, dogs and a war between Austria and Prussia. Suffice to say that Telegraphy and Radio Communications both form part of a symbiotic relationship. It still does today. The Wired Internet and the Wireless Internet are the same animal dressed up with fancy technology. Amateur Radio is the experimental arm of Radio Communications, so as long as humans want to communicate with each other we're here to stay. Time and again, Emergency Services need operators in the case of an actual emergency and historically they have been drawn from wherever experienced bodies could be rousted, suffice to say, the Amateur community keeps on giving. As for the old and dying men. Sure, we have some amazing history that senior members of the Amateur community have to contribute, with many lessons to be learned for the likes of young'ns like me, but I'm getting older every day and with me the rest of the population too. At some point we'll all be older and wiser, perhaps we'll even be Amateurs. Another way of looking at this is as the global population gets older with more free time on their hands, the more opportunities exist to introduce people into our hobby. As for the retention. As a community we really need to investigate what it is that makes people leave, since that's where the growth of our community is working against our achievements to promote and encourage new entrants. If you're not an Amateur today, I'd like to encourage you to investigate. If you are, then I'd like to encourage you to welcome new members, tell your stories and use your experience in this amazing hobby to share your excitement and sense of wonder. Perhaps consider if there is something you can do to help new Amateurs flourish in our community. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

What use is an F-call? Last week I talked about computers and the Foundation License. There is a blanket perception being perpetuated that computers, radios and your Foundation License don't mix, are not allowed and if you were to be so foolhardy as to connect your computer to your radio, you'd be subject to all manner of retribution from the ACMA. Most of this is based on hear-say and misunderstanding. There's nothing stopping you from connecting your computer to your radio and for example have it read the current frequency and mode and store that in your logging software. There's also nothing wrong with using the computer to change the frequency and mode on your radio, when you click on a DX cluster entry and it changes the settings on your radio, or if you were to use it to deal with the Doppler shift to match an overflying satellite. Computers can also be used to set-up memories, CTCSS codes, preferences and other settings supported by your radio. It can be used to show waterfall displays and to decode signals as they come in. You can use a computer to do audio filtering, digital signal processing and all manner of CPU intensive activities. You can run a CW skimmer, to decode Morse as it comes past, connect it to a wide-band receiver and listen to many frequencies at once. None of this has anything to do with your Foundation License restrictions, or with the LCD for that matter. Onto other things. The LCD states that: "if the emission mode is 200HA1A (or 200 Hertz, Amplitude Modulated, Single Channel, Telegraphy for aural reception - i.e. Morse Code or CW), the information to be transmitted is sent by the use of a manually operated Morse key;" This is stopping you from using your license to send out an automatic beacon. The aim is to have you as a human, still in the loop. A manually operated Morse key means that you have to actually push it with your hand. There's nothing preventing you from using an Iambic Paddle mechanical, or electronic. As long as you're still punching out the code. With the advent of Software Defined Radios, the separation between computer and radio is becoming even more diffuse. If your radio is a computer, another myth does the rounds. "A Foundation Call cannot use Software Defined Radio." This is untrue. If your SDR was manufactured commercially then you're good to go. Seriously. You still have the same restrictions on modes and bands, power output and the like. You cannot send computer generated digital modes, though you can decode them. The computer in this equation is no different from the previous examples. Being an F-call is fun, you should try it sometime. I'm Onno VK6FLAB.
