Cat Nights begin on August 17th - display any text or art concerning cats. <Cat Nights begin on August 17. This term harks back to the days when people believed in witches. A rather obscure old Irish legend said that a witch could turn herself into a cat eight times, but on the ninth time (August 17), she couldn’t regain her human form. This bit of folklore also gives us the saying, “A cat has nine lives.” Because August is a yowly time for cats, this may have prompted the speculation about witches on the prowl in the first place. Also, nights continue to get longer. Cats, crepuscular creatures, are nocturnal hunters. Their superior night vision means that the nights belong to them. citing>

Aphelion is July 4th 11:04pm in 2020, the Aphelion for earth is when the earth is farthest from the sun, in its eliptical orbit. If you consider the Perihelion the beginning of a year, then the Aphelion is the trust midyear point. Every planet around the sun has an aphelion. Earth's moon like all other moons has a similar action, called an apogee to a planet, where a moon is farthest from the planet it rotates around, by having an elliptical orbit.

Black Hearts Day or Valentine's Day good news -
Any Love , story or image stating Black love, any language, any geography, any religion. Love is meant to be shared everyday,but giving it a day in the year to itself is not an evil or bad thing. Enjoy Black people together.
In the usa it is feb 14th

Martin Luther King junior Day -
His actual birthday is the fifteenth of january but the federal holiday is in a monday for three day weekends, like others. It is celebrated on the third monday in the month of january in every year since its inception in the Statian Empire. I ask you to share , historical fictions/prose/graphical artwork in any style concerning MArtin Luther King jr....I do wonder why Blacks in the U.S.A. can not come together and demand a true day off for this federal notice. And also share, officials days in a country outside the usa for a black person in history?

Why the holiday is on his the third monday and not his true birthday?

2. To have fun:)
Rules
1. Have fun
2. All phenotypes are welcome, but if you can't handle Black empowerment, whether you be black or not, please go somewhere else online.

The Text Based Zenith Power Collage can be accessed using the following link. Tell me what you think and if you will like to see the Legend Collage below in audio form? https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/179-richard-murray-collages/?tab=comments#comment-513
CLICK anywhere in the image above and it will take you to a story, click on the tale to go back
Richard Murray Collages Book 2
The following Collage ebook ,similar content to the slide above,is based on the 1985 film legend. The Collage was interesting as the themes of Evil/Love/Fairies/Demons encircled each other. Legend source story is more romantic and the Evil is not as straightforward as some will like to think, to be fair it is darkness not evil. Like the prior week , Please use the kobo mobile app to view. Please tell me your thoughts in private message if you are part of my email list or in guest comment here... Lastly, I am pondering what the next collage book should reference, the private collage series will involve black stories like john henry or three the hard way getting the treatment, so any ideas to another non black story you will like me to collage?

The essence of day 1 was making a game that was a non zero sum base. I placed in the audiobook my audio thoughts. If you want a complete reference, the ebook has the audio as well as the transcript and the game. The Game link below is where you can see my gaming example. In a non zero-sum game, winning or losing is not the goal. In the game I made, the goal is to keep playing it, thus you do not want it to end, you are in control of both sides, like when one plays chess by themselves but unlike the chess scenario the goal is to never have either side win, it is to keep going. In my head, I had an idea of jason and the argonauts, if you know that film from ray harryhausen.
Question, what problem does the game have? I will not tell
Oh, penultimately, what is the game imaged on the cover of the audiobook/ebook or this blog?
And lastly, I love to quiz, where does Houyhnhnm come from?

In modernity many Black people speak to finding roots or gaining reparations or many other thing offline that require a collective power that does not exist or an individual power that does not exist. I am not suggesting said power will not become to a black group or black individual offline. But, I am certain it is easier for a black collective or individual task online to be successful. To that end, I cognize a nice way to show who black people are today, that can have value tomorrow , collectively or individually, is through individual sigils. The data storage for the sigils will be linked at the postend to this article. The comments to this post will be links to each sigil made, which is composed of the graphic, name, and url to main place online.

ADINKRA EXAMPLE 2/21/2019
Link to example in comments: https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/215-sanatambo-is-here/?do=findComment&comment=504
Kobo complete version: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/sanatambo-adinkra
ORIGINAL POST 3/25/2018
Good day all,
I wanted to accomplish a few things early two thousand and eighteen: make a video game utilizing some sort of Black cultural reference, sell it on a platform; I achieved it. SanaTambo which mean art puzzle is here; it is a rendition to nonograms, more commonly known in the usa as picross; the images one can create are versions to Adinkra from Ghana. To access it, you must use the Kobo App. If you want to test out whether you can utilize it, you can use the first entry in the SanaTambo series, which is free.
https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/sanatambo-adinkra
The process itself was very interesting. I will share that in my emailing list. If you want to join my email list, you can comment on here as a member or guest and we will connect.

SanaTambo Example
I have created a system that allow me to make puzzles in the style to picross/nonogram/SanaTambo . But I need to check how the system will operate in varying scenarios. I made an example epub to see. In my emailing list I asked folk to check it out but I ask as much in the AALBC community as well. Whatever your experience please share it publicly in comment, guest comments are allowed, or in private, or ,<if you are in my emailing list> an email. If you want to join my emailing list, please ask me and I will add you after a short correspondence.
The Example is linked below , it is a free ebook

I successfully published a poetry book, i entitled, Poetry or More. Now, the original plan I used is to place three year in one book, text side audio. Unfortunately, a 100MB or 100,000KB limit exist on ebooks that can be loaded <that is fair cause that equate to a huge amount from raw text>. Thus, I made four version, one is only text that include all the years. The other three are partials: 2015-2016, 2017 January to June, or 2017 July to December.
The text only includes all the poem stories, poem of the months or seasons. I placed the links to each Poetry or More variant below, and if you want an excerpt I kept the December solstice 2017/December 2017/December Poem Story 2017/July Aphelion 2017 poem blog entries. All is linked below. Enjoy.

July Aphelion 2017
Listen to "January Perihelion 2017" on Spreaker.
Farthest from the light
Is the ancient under water wheel
Seahorse, crab, anchovy, or like, dance in it
The last to it's kind
It's descendent's, kill or betray the old life
...Long before man, or when dinosaur's began
Earth made the ancient plant's
To play side all other children
But... came a change
Earth became cloudy, the sunlight distant in essence
And, nearest penultimate ancient plant's died
But the heart from Earth, did not want all to die
And embrac'd the ancient under water wheel
To usher in the dinosaur
And, it surviv'd, to today, deep in the water
Far from the sun , alway's

December 2017 Poem
December
I hear some speak to maturity
why am I not convince?
do I have access to a wise diary
am I living behind a fence
nothing literal or from prison is about me
sole support from my sense
kin to all common water's
born from being many schnee
each winter, the former liquid chime, Never Again!
On the craterous surface, will we be sow
Under only the sky, above all other life, is our remaining time
... then the sun rise, and maturity prove elusive again
... I hear few speak to possibility
why do most shun if sense
do they have no craft they fee
are they surround from total absence?
nothing craftal or annihil they don't see
all support from their mince
kin to all warstarter's
born from inherent malflee
each winter, the sanguine rhyme, Always Again!
In the cavernous channels, will we be sow
Under only the hide, between all other life, is our remaining time
... then the lids rise, and possibility prove all coming again
...Can a possible be immature
Is immaturity a craft from some possible
to reject all other possible
Do the questions prove sense?

December Solstice 2017
Happy December Solstice. Mama Earth in less than a moment tilt her axis farthest from parallel to the Sun, more than any other time save one between the Perihelions. May those in the northern hemisphere, have a collective , communal warmth, may those in the southern hemisphere, have a energetic smooth cool.
A once virgin prince, now white hair king
Ponder to her tomb, the Last Rose, from Hadinchi
On his regal seat, in a cold empty hall
He remember, the fairies dance, on all the jewel pall's
No longer their sprinkle's, in this long fall
He leave his seat, stride slow on broke floor
He see her portrait, made when good time's were more
A goblin weave'd her skin, from hairs on the amber boar
No longer it make step, in this long fall
Open the hall door, and on to the mausoleum
The path shimmer or shine, throughway, to where his woe's sum
From glass depicting her life, molded from dragon fire's, or jitu hum's
No longer they breath or song, in this long fall
Finally, to her body rest, in grandeur timeless
A statue made, from the king mind or hand, to her likeness
Eight ninth from centuries, on the craft, and still a jumble mess
No longer can he remake, in this long fall
And fall... the white hair king, crying My Love! my love...
Time smooth over, and none recall, or only hear whisper, in winter
To the once virgin prince or Tamawari, his lover
...But, the rarest whisper, say a black dove cry in a spring, will end their leter

Be Safe
December 2017 Poem Story
Somewhere, or sometime, in existence
In a temporal expanse
Tween cluster's from star's or nebula's
On a planet from like set
Aside a beach, part to an isle in the caribbean, is waterfall's
Where she sit
I don't know her name
Have not ask'd about
Been here a few day, and still not approach
I have no game, or malice play
A simple joy, watching the sun, shadow, wind, or mist mix, about her, or her dress
But... time is near done
The time this somewhere
Me no romeo, her no juliet
Nor us two ship, to make a living idol or gret or regret
Only a woman enjoying the sun, shadow, wind, or mist, mix about her, or her dress
Or a man enjoying where she sit, honorable distance, no persistence
Two pleasant, quiet, honest...

Leah Cutter has this idea for a island map where you use the coordinates for the genre you write in and make these islands
So I first had to list my work, I chose only the work I have published on Kobo, I didn't choose everything I have ever written or had accepted in this that or the other. While that would be fair, to be honest, my mindset is, if I incorporate those things that I may have to add another axis and I didn't want this to be muddled too much. If you ever tried to graph a function having five variables by hand you comprehend me, in the visual imbalance to that.
As it is, I first listed each work I have in Kobo or I am working on this year, and labeled them next to it
Gospel of Joseph- Religious fiction
Kings of London Epic Poem CFC 2012-2013 sport Poetry/sport Comic/Sport Assessment
Kings of London Epic Poem CFC 2013-2014 sport Poetry/ sport Comic/Sport Assessment
Kings of London Epic Poem CFC 2014-2015 sport Poetry/sport Comic/Sport Assessment
Looking West and West - Story Collection - Fantasy
Lucky 13 - unfinished science fiction
Richard Murray Thoughts Round 1 to 8 and ongoing /Sport Assessment/sport Poetry
Sunset Children Stories Fable Collection/ Story Collection
The Janidogo Fantasy Script
The Nyotenda Science Fiction Script
The Visasiki Story Collection FREE intro
Richard Murray Poetry Collection- Fantasy poetry/Social critique poetry
Richard Murray public paths- Fantasy/Science Fiction
For me, what I see is quite a bit of poetry and story collections
If I use two axis- one for poetry the other for prose, the poetry can go from sport to fantasy(red)
the prose from sport assessment to fantasy either have social critique or religious fiction in the center (green)
I came up with the grid in the following ...Before I created it I knew it would not be good enough, the graphical scheme needed a change for me. I added Roman numeral index to the list and applied the numerals into the graph but I then went at it again
I Gospel of Joseph- Religious fiction
II Kings of London Epic Poem CFC 2012-2013 sport Poetry/sport Comic/Sport Assessment
III Kings of London Epic Poem CFC 2013-2014 sport Poetry/ sport Comic/Sport Assessment
IV Kings of London Epic Poem CFC 2014-2015 sport Poetry/sport Comic/Sport Assessment
V Looking West and West - Story Collection - Fantasy/adult riddles
VI Lucky 13 - unfinished science fiction
VII Richard Murray Thoughts Round 1 to 8 and ongoing /Sport Assessment/sport Poetry
IIX Sunset Children Stories Fable Collection/ Story Collection
IX The Janidogo Fantasy Script
X The Nyotenda Science Fiction Script
XI The Visasiki Story Collection
XII Richard Murray Poetry Collection- Fantasy poetry/Social critique poetry
XIIV Richard Murray public paths- Fantasy/Science Fiction
So I was more rigid, placing an alphanumeric next to each representing a book next to each book that applied going down the line adding in
Fiction- Religious 1
Poetry-Sport 2347
Prose- Sport 2347
Comic- Sport 234
Fantasy- short story 58B
Adult-riddles 5
Science Fiction- unfinished 6
Fable 8
Fantasy -script 9
Science fiction - script A
Fantasy poetry C
social critique poetry C
Fantasy fiction D
science fiction D
Then I remade the categories to focus on genre, I excluded audio which is unfair since i added the comics. But, the audio is akin to the text.
Religious fiction 1
Sport poetry 2347
Sport prose 2347
sport comic 234
Fantasy - short story 58B
Adult- riddles 5
Science fiction unfinished 6
Fable 8
Fantasy - script 9
Science fiction- script A
Fantasy poetry C
Social critique poetry C
Fantasy Fiction D
Science Fiction D
Then the true boundaries came to light.
I have fiction: religious/Fantasy-short story/fable/fantasy script/science fiction script/fantasy/science fiction
Sport: poetry/prose/comic
Adult: riddles
poetry: fantasy/social critique
if I combine riddles into poetry, which is not literally true, a riddle need not be a poem but the adult riddles in looking west and west are poetic, i should know:), then I have three shapes
Fiction is a septagon
Sport is a trigon
and the poetry is a trigon
but then i realized the shapes don't merge functionally , fiction needs to be an nonagon, to include sport and nonfiction; sport must be a quadgon to include nonsport, and poetry must be a quadgon to include nonpoetry, and I index them
fiction(green): I religious/ II Fantasy-short story/ III fable/ IV fantasy script/ V science fiction script/ VI fantasy/ VII science fiction/ IIX sport/ IX nonfiction (yellow)
Sport(red): I poetry/ II prose/ III comic/ IV nonsport (blue)
Poetry(black): I fantasy/ II social critique/ III adult riddle/ IV nonpoetry (brown)
So the following is the second attempt, I made the shapes and then placing the alphanumeric described above.
For example, the gospel of joseph is religious fiction. So I placed digit one under the appropriate green line, using purple. For some books where I do multiple I made purple lines connecting, thus making islands, if you will on top of each other in the air that are see through except for the border.
But this proves how some work I do have multifaceted and some does not.
The first thing is obvious I learn about my writing, a lot of poetry. More than I even considered, spanning various genres, which makes my first poetry book this year, common sense.
But it also shows how much of my poetry is dominated through sport and not beyond into the fantastic thus the poetry book this year will be about the fantastic.
I also have not settled on a favorite fiction genre I like to write in. well, as it is , can you make your own graph and share with all what you have learned about your writing
I was inspired by this post

The Nyotenda is a story I wrote ,as a script, free to fans or others who may be interested; it was based on a dare perhaps you can figure out what the dare was after reading my prose; it involve a woman who played a video game as a child to adulthood; after she succeed in the videogame in a way, she gain the attention to people from outer space who want to use her skills; she is successfully trained, and achieve a great feat becoming The Nyotenda.
I cognize the universal comprehension from graphic imagery to a global audience that has no common tongue. Sequentially, I added the complete Nyotenda Comic alongside the story in the ebook. Enjoy.

Title:Harlem - June to November 2015
I am a child to Earth
living side my peer, in a concentration
in a night, I see...
not from the Sun, many moon, shining
... many voice yell in the sky
no horn or four horseman ride
remind, a faint glimpse to a god
kicking a free moon by
know why, not I
Out from the quiet Harlem
Where the trees recall yesterday
South from the modern
Where the lights shine away... from the old song in the street
Is a raccoon family
Waiting for sapiens to segregate
Tis a wait insane
Waiting for: fish fry, jass, or roof... parties
Them can not survive: mixing, security, or real estate
But a darkling notice the scene
He provide a path in the shade
Just to a few from Harlem past... to find the Black Bath
Walking outside, I ponder, where is wisdom,
when the Sun can not wake me to see it,
and...
what can be seen from apartment 2B?
concrete sequoia, surround every pane,
even the baby thrush, needing parental sustenance,
can't be known, and...
we all ask, where with all is hope?...
can I know in 9C?
can enlightenment be, where no butterfly roam,
even if I live or write every poem?...
may I live near 2B... only down the hall,
where you live in 4U, and maybe you can see or know,
if you own, a pane or more from hope...
will it sing, to my craft, as I walk...
apartmentless, in the public dark
The Trees or the Churches, are all that will stand
Where is the tree that remember the land
Does a church know where, the skulls from the first, was planted
The collages from modern mancraft is disorganized, most ignorant
I heard from one collagent
... The Pigeon who climbed a whole hill
do not forget a sky
never needing, to walk to one again
... do not forget an earth
while sleeping to fly
truly fly... to a rose beyond any sky
do not forget a time
when two sunflower , grow at first glance
for one grow a short... distance
yet, the shades them can not see prove:sky, earth, or time in chiaroscurhyme
and!...this dummy still stand!
pondering a turncoat dove ponderance
I am comforted in knowing their finiteness
though, I know a clear sadness
for the collages everborn
pretelling I will never know
where stand the skulls, or the land
What if a green speak to you one day
do you think, it will speak to Giants colored grey
or multicolor dirt from an annual day
I say they are not signs... from the urban green
not like those southern trees who know the bloodiest luxiery
A salvadoran Rose, through my mind, once spoke to me
We look at each other through a lens that is the moon
after in the afternoon, a bluejay hope to find
hopping up the fire escape to the top floor, why?!
a rainforest on the third, or higher than Everest on the roof
or maybe a query from the terrace fleur
How do you find a place beyond time, is it galaxy wide, or smaller than an eye?
Does a green, the Moon, or an avian know where it hide
In a deep autumn night
I think, what deep thought
from those once cargo
or more than likely, threw off
did they saw life as hope, or a wrought
did they trusted in nature, used her time
as I have
born in summer, a plethora from light...
this fall beginning
I was unwised, lived on the obvious prismal abuse
suddenly pondering, why I suddenly dream to you
you are not in a thought yesterday
think yesterday has nothing from you?
now nearest to the future
what will winter be, these questions
do you feel the sunlight when i do
do you feel the rain
are you surround between the night stars
do you block their speak
... or the mirror to chaotic reality...
silent fantasy
