VENEER MAGAZINE 06/18

This issue marks the 1/3 point of the project. Still with us? It's massive, dark: gay leather, down syndrome trisomy 21, Julia Roberts straight up, cloud seeding (during the Olympics), analog tv transmitter coverage in UTC-7, a whole bunch of sheep way up North, and Veneer's favorite artist Sturtevant writes. Also: there is a notepad, a tear-off Spinoza playbill for her play. Leave them on bus seats, pass them out as handbills!

As a result of the issue, the editor made a harness for the magazine, mounted that restraint device in a dungeon and individually whipped every copy of the magazine. A dominatrix friend lent her whips (no floggers) to the cause. Most are scarred, marked, torn by the action.

AN EXCERPT FROM "INDUCED CLIMATE OF 00-08: CLOUD SEEDING OF THE BEIJING & TIANJIN MUNICIPALITIES" BY YUSHENG LI, PAGES 94-95:

"Due to groundwater shortages, Beijing has been sinking into the ground at an annual rate of about 2.5 centimeters in the past 20 years, whereas Hebei province has subsided more than 70 centimeters. In April of 2004, dry conditions resulted in 2,392 rockets and 409 cannon shells being launched over the course of one weekend. Results were estimated at 17mm of precipitation. In August of 2007, similar weather modification operations were undertaken, and Boading City of Hebei province received a rainfall of 100 mm. Beijing's Fangshan District received 25 mm. Municipal authorities in Beijing have announced that the city will receive 300 million cubic meters of water from Hebei Province until March 2009.

In accordance with the Meteorological Law, The Beijing Weather Modification Command Center utilizes weather modification technologies for purposes beyond climate manipulation. Since 1999 during the Tian'an men Square celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the People's Republic, rain suppression techniques have become a significant aspect of Beijing's statesmanship efforts, enhancing national diplomatic and economic interests, as well as ensuring the success of major cultural events and festivals. The 10th National games of 2005 were protected from rain by Beijing officials, as was the Great Panda Festival of 2001."
