WIZNACK | 3 Deviser WIZNACK Magazine TF Publishers — Omal Arachi “A Word is an equation—a combination of letters; when solved, it manipulates a significant meaning.” Omal Arachi The Magazine concept is broadly focused on developing the IQ knowledge of the readers. I specifically devised it according to a customized content structure where readers will be able to explore a variety of compositions in different areas of interest. The targeted community is the all-ages of +14, and the magazine is aiming at reading/writing learners and visual learners with a combination of written content and attractive high-resolution images. I divided the content of the magazine into eight sections as Green Dream: explaining the worth of a green world, Masterpiece: introducing an artifact or artistic prospect, SiFi Ride: introducing a futuristic vehicle, Headline: explaining a most noted global news event, Life Goes On: explaining the tradition and advancing way of life, Precious Land: introducing a heritage site or a landscape, Historic Letter: introducing a letter written by a most famous person, Opinion: posting a guest writer’s opinionated article. Most of these articles are written based on abstracted sources from book researches. At the introductory level of the magazine, I have decided to keep the word count of the content on each section limited to 1000-1800 words with a plan to expand each section on future issues. I have decided to publish the very first four issues of the magazine as a preliminary edition which are formatted according to the same pattern. In addition, I have merged the concept magazine iWrite with this project as a separate compilation of freelance writer’s articles with a plan to offer unpublished writers to publish with the magazine. However, I have managed to initiate the content of the first edition of four magazines through researching, paraphrasing, and copyediting articles. I used MS Word, Google docs, and Grammarly for editorial needs and Adobe Ps & Id to design and format the magazine. I have implemented this first and foremost edition with deliberately expressed love, hopes, and aspirations. You deserve to uncover more than what it contained in this version. Every article in this magazine is carefully determined for you to gain immense general knowledge about the world. I warmly welcome each and everyone, either readers or writers to come and join with me to define something excellent through this vision. As always, thank you for writing and reading. Please share your comments with me. Regards...! 20th May 2020 EDITOR’S NOTE

WIZNACK | 2 “Go green, live rich.” Perhaps, “Green World: Golden Era” is a sophisticated concept to open our eyes to, and grasp a minute to contemplate what future brings us eventually. WIND ENERGY Reduce your carbon footprint
3 | WIZNACK GREEN DREAM
WIZNACK | 4 GREEN DREAM The scarcity of energy sources is impacting today’s world with the rise of pollution caused by the increase of carbon footprint. Nowadays, most demandable energy sources are Fossil fuels— coal, oil, and natural gas. Those energy sources have become the central sources of power-producing materials to operate the twenty-first century’s mechanism, and it regularly affects the biosphere and environment with severe natural disasters and challenges. That is when humans found the option of using other renewable energy sources derived from the sun itself. The sun’s power reaches the earth as heat or light while serving 1% - 2% of it through wind energy. The basic concept of wind power involves a mechanical process powered by a wind turbine, which has the ability to turn wind into electricity. However, this process of producing wind power has less impact on the environment than burning fossil fuels.
5 | WIZNACK GREEN DREAM Wind power has been a primary energy source since the prehistoric era. Archeologist believes that King Hammurabi of Babylon had a technology of wind-powered scoops that he used to water the fields during the 1700 B.C. in Mesopotamia. Most often, “windmills” use wind turbines as wind-powered machines for mill or grind grain, and this method of windmills have been using by early human civili - zations to date. On November 14th, 2012, the fourth edition of the Global Wind Energy Outlook stated that wind power impacts global electricity demand reaching up to 12% by 2020. The wind power has immense value for nowadays human lifestyle due to the advancement of mechanism. Today’s world lacks awareness of wind energy-producing technol - ogies. By advancing the technological updates on using wind power for electricity and establishing this concept in the world will benefit everyone to save the environment and energy resources for fu - ture generations.

7 | WIZNACK GREEN DREAM WIND ENERGY The sun has the power to produce wind. When the earth’s land and water heated up by the solar radiation, it creates the wind, which is lighter in weight when it is warm compared to cold air. The air is the wind when it is in motion, and it has a mass but weighs a smaller amount. When the air is moving as a mass, it contains kinetic energy as known as motion energy. The wind’s kinetic-power has to convert into mechanical power or electricity through an efficient system. Usually, sailing on a boat or spin of a fan allows anyone to capture the motion of the wind when the wind blows into it. This procedure of rotating motion turns a driveshaft, and by connecting it to other machinery can produce mechanical power. When the driveshaft of the wind energy system connected to a generator, it converts wind’s mechanical power into electricity.
WIZNACK | 8 GREEN DREAM THE EQUATION FOR WIND POWER Wind speed: The wind’s energy varies depending on the cube of the wind speed. If the wind speed doubles, there is eight times more energy in the wind. There is a considerable impact on the amount of power available in the wind for small changes in wind speed. The density of the air: Elevation and temperature cause air density variations. The denser the air, the more energy received by the turbine. In lower elevations and locations with cooler average temperatures, the turbines produce more power. The swept area of the turbine: The turbine can capture more power from the wind if the swept range is vast (the size area through which the rotor spins). Swept area is A = pir2.
9 | WIZNACK GREEN DREAM WIND TURBINE AND ITS SYSTEM • Rotor The rotor is the combination of the blades attached to the hub. Rotor diameter represents the entire diameter of two blade lengths along with the diameter of the hub, and the blade’s rotation is known as the circle of the swept area. • Drivetrain The drivetrain contains the main driveshaft, gearbox, and generator. All of these components confined by the nacelle, and engineers can work inside it for maintenance. The rotor blades spin the driveshaft, and it transfers mechanical power to the gearbox, then, when the rotation speeds up, it delivers to the generator to produce electricity. • Control System The control system is responsible for monitoring turbine conditions, recording the entire system’s performance, alerting operators when maintenance is needed, detecting faults, and showing down or stopping the rotor when hazardous conditions arise. There has to be a fulltime on-site person to maintain the wind farm’s control system because it indicates the daily operation of the mechanical sector of the turbines.
WIZNACK | 10 GREEN DREAM WINDMILLS AND WIND TURBINES Windmills and wind turbines both receive wind energy and direct it to day-to-day use for different purposes. Both systems are different from each other when it comes to the procedure. One is a machine that uses to produce mechanical power by the wind, and the other generates electricity to use in different areas. Windmills: The purpose is to convert wind energy to mechanical power, which can use for farm tasks such as milling grain or pumping water. Windmills are much smaller comparing to the turbine, and it has a vast history dating back to the 1300s known as one of the oldest wind technologies in the world. The mechanism is of spinning vanes of the windmill turn a camshaft, and it is connected by gears and rods, directing the power to the external machinery for constant work. Wind Turbine: The purpose is to convert wind energy into electricity, which can use to power up any electronic equipment and store in batteries or transport over power lines. The wind turbine is similar to an electric motor but in a reverse system. A motor uses electrical current to produce motion; a wind turbine uses motion to produce an electrical current.
11 | WIZNACK GREEN DREAM PROCESS OF THE WIND FARMS Wind Farm is a wind-powered station known as a wind power plant contains an installation of a group of wind turbine towers, which use to generate electricity efficiently. Wind farms have established depending on the size and number of turbines covering a radius of an area. The value of a wind farm increases due to its less environmental impact, and it does not require fuel for the operation. There are two major systems used for these wind farms as Onshore and Offshore.
WIZNACK | 12 GREEN DREAM Lochgoin from the air UK on shore
13 | WIZNACK GREEN DREAM Onshore: Generally, onshore turbines installed 3 km away from the shoreline to the inland, where hilly or mountainous regions to be on ridges. The purpose of inland installations is to exploit the topographic acceleration as the wind accelerates over a ridge, and it can gain additional wind speed because more wind goes towards the turbines on the top to increase energy production. The micro-siting is the placement procedure of planting turbines, usually, position each turbine in a 30-meter difference. The largest onshore wind farm in the world is Gansu Wind Farm, located in china with a capacity of over 6,000 MW by 2012, had a long-term goal of reaching 20,000 MW by 2020.
WIZNACK | 14 GREEN DREAM Some hundreds wind turbines in Guazhou County, Gansu province, China
15 | WIZNACK GREEN DREAM Offshore: Wind turbines planted offshore are less interfering with the people than on land because the size and noise mitigate due to distance. The average wind speed is higher than the land when the turbines are planted on the open water because water has less surface roughness than land. The largest offshore wind farm in the world is Walney Wind Farm, located in the United Kingdom with a capacity of 659 MW by September 2018.

17 | WIZNACK • Wind power is cost-effective. Land-based utility-scale wind is one of the lowest-priced energy sources available today, costing 1–2 cents per kilowatt-hour after the production tax credit. Because the electricity from wind farms is sold at a fixed price over a long period of time (e.g. 20+ years) and its fuel is free, wind energy mitigates the price uncertainty that fuel costs add to traditional sources of energy. • Wind creates jobs. The U.S. wind sector employs more than 100,000 workers, and wind turbine technician is one of the fastest-growing American jobs. According to the Wind Vision Report, wind has the potential to support more than 600,000 jobs in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and supporting services by 2050. • Wind enables U.S. industry growth and U.S. competitiveness. New wind projects account for annual investments of over $10 billion in the U.S. economy. The United States has a vast domestic resources and a highly-skilled workforce, and can compete globally in the clean energy economy. • It’s a clean fuel source. Wind energy doesn’t pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, which emit particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide—causing human health problems and economic damages. Wind turbines don’t produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain, smog, or greenhouse gases. • Wind is a domestic source of energy. The nation’s wind supply is abundant and inexhaustible. Over the past 10 years, U.S. wind power capacity has grown 15% per year, and wind is now the largest source of renewable power in the United States. • It’s sustainable. Wind is actually a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the rotation of the Earth, and the Earth’s surface irregularities. For as long as the sun shines and the wind blows, the energy produced can be harnessed to send power across the grid. • Wind turbines can be built on existing farms or ranches. This greatly benefits the economy in rural areas, where most of the best wind sites are found. Farmers and ranchers can continue to work the land because the wind turbines use only a fraction of the land. Wind power plant owners make rent payments to the farmer or rancher for the use of the land, providing landowners with additional income. ADVANTAGES OF WIND POWER
WIZNACK | 18 • Wind power must still compete with conventional generation sources on a cost basis. Even though the cost of wind power has decreased dramatically in the past several decades, wind projects must be able to compete economically with the lowest-cost source of electricity, and some locations may not be windy enough to be cost-competitive. • Good land-based wind sites are often located in remote locations, far from cities where the electricity is needed. Transmission lines must be built to bring the electricity from the wind farm to the city. However, building just a few already-proposed transmission lines could significantly reduce the costs of expanding wind energy. • Wind resource development might not be the most profitable use of the land. Land suitable for wind-turbine installation must compete with alternative uses for the land, which might be more highly valued than electricity generation. • Turbines might cause noise and aesthetic pollution. Although wind power plants have relatively little impact on the environment compared to conventional power plants, concern exists over the noise produced by the turbine blades and visual impacts to the landscape. • Wind plants can impact local wildlife. Birds have been killed by flying into spinning turbine blades. Most of these problems have been resolved or greatly reduced through technology development or by properly siting wind plants. Bats have also been killed by turbine blades, and research is ongoing to develop and improve solutions to reduce the impact of wind turbines on these species. Like all energy sources, wind projects can alter the habitat on which they are built, which may alter the suitability of that habitat for certain species.

WIZNACK | 20 EPIC OF An epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia “Gilgamesh was called a god and a man; Enkidu was an animal and a man. It is the story of their becoming human together.” —Herbert Mason , ‘The Epic Of Gilgamesh’. GILGAMESH
21 | WIZNACK How do we even persist in knowing that human beings existed in the ancient world unless someone had left us a note or evidence of related literary fragments? Most of the ancient artifacts or literary contents have been deteriorating and dispersing caused by human activities and variations over time. What if any of it hidden beneath protection, and we found. Simultaneously, it’s a treasure issued a price when revealing the historical truth behind it. The ultimate disclosure of recovering ancient remnants of philosophy and literature precisely guided our generations to grasp the noble identity of ourselves. Ancient Mesopotamia is known as the land located between the two rivers that specify the primitive importance of late-day legend. The ancient Mesopotamian cultural artifacts are still to be a myth, though, somewhat of it cleared due to references of other author’s quotes and mentioning of Berosso— a Babylonian Priest used Greek as a writing language. The Nineteenth Century rediscovery of ancient Assyria (north of today’s Iraq) merged the discrepancies of scriptures when interpreting Cuneiform text known as wedge-shaped (Latin Cuneo, “wedge”) signs in 1850. The Mesopotamian artifacts demonstrated ancient mythical creatures and the relationship between man and god in exceptional narratives. Expressions of most epics had based on human emotions and life events such as love, friendship, loneliness, revenge, regret, competition, saga, and fear of death. The themes of the narratives had elaborated in the form of emotional strength and pride. It conjures the today’s observer with a metaphorical meaning of three thousand years old idioms used by the authors accordingly. Some parts of the epic are still missing, or not be able to understand due to unknown texts and its errors. The narration had written in a different formation comparing with modern writing patterns. Therefore, the complexity of the language is a little too ambiguous and found difficulties in understanding. However, nowadays, the artifacts and evidence of the epic is somewhat completed and stored with the ability to translate. The most recent English translation of the Epic of Gilgamesh has excellent readability, and it is accessible to the reader with English fluency. During the past 120 years have exhibited the existence of the epic to the new-age world. The written literature style had directly linked to the Babylonian Standards MASTERPIECE Hero mastering a lion. Palace of Sargon II at Khorsabad (Dur Sharrukin) 713–706 BCE

Most of these seventh century B.C tablets first found in King Ashurbanipal’s library, temple libraries, and palace at Nineveh in Assyria. Furthermore, the other parts of the tablets had recovered from the northern Mesopotamian site of Assur, Nimrud, and Sultantepe, and the southern Mesopotamian sites of Uruk (the ancestral location of Gilgamesh) and Babylon. During the restoring process, archaeologists declared that many tablets had severely damaged and in deficient conditions. Somehow, they had managed to recover the epic and offered the complete text form within this generation. The most important fact of the Gilgamesh Epic is that it reveals the ancient Mesopotamian civilization along with epic poetry and linguistic accuracy. MASTERPIECE A modern statue of Gilgamesh stands at the University of Sydney The Palaces at Nimrud - Restored
23 | WIZNACK BRIEF OF THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH According to the narratives found among artifacts, the epic consists of a protagonist named Gilgamesh, believe to be the hero of the story. It is yet to be uncertain if Gilgamesh was a king or only a two-third of a divine being with extraordinary powers and beauty described as one-third of a human. He had a strong and friendly bond with a typical man named Enkidu, who born and raised among wild animals in the wilderness. But he was abandoned by the wild beasts and had to follow up and adopted himself to act in a civilized society. Later, he decided to travel to Uruk in a challenging confrontation to meet with Gilgamesh. Upon arrival, they had participated in a wrestling match where Enkidu declared Gilgamesh as the most excellent, and they became loyal friends with true companionship. As time passed, Gilgamesh had invited Enkidu to go on an adventurous journey to defeat the notorious Guardian Humbaba of Cedar Forest, expecting to attain eternal fame. By that time, Enkidu’s beast-like strengths had been fading away caused by the civilized life. Gilgamesh’s advocates and tearful mother had instantaneously denied his decision, but he started the six-day journey along with Enkidu with the help of sun god. There were reluctant and dreadful dreams that had appeared to him, but he continued the journey. However, Enkidu had not been comfortable with what they Mace dedicated to Gigamesh with transcription of the name Gilgamesh
WIZNACK | 24 were to do, though he hesitated to enter the Cedar Forest. But Sun God forced them to go in and confront Humbaba. After an intimidating battle, Gilgamesh and Enkidu had successfully defeated Humbaba and tore down the Cedar Forest. There, Enkidu had proposed to use the tallest tree to create a door for the temple of chief god in paying honor to appease him. When Gilgamesh had returned to Uruk, a beautiful goddess named Ishtar visited him for a marriage offer. But he aggressively refused her due to her affiliation with other lover’s fate. In such a wave of anger, she had sent the Bull of Heaven to cause havoc in the city, but two friends ended up destroying it. The angry gods were offended by their both resembling Humbaba being killed by Gilgamesh and Enkidu
25 | WIZNACK activities; therefore, they had ordered a painful death for Enkidu. Gilgamesh had suffered seeing his faithful friend’s deathbed and started rebel against morality in search of finding the secret of eternal life from the only man named Utanapishtim who survived the Flood. Finally, Gilgamesh had met with Utanapishtim and requested to show him how he reached to eternal life Utnapishtim had expressed a part of the Flood Story (borrowed from another Mesopotamian myth) about his generosity and loyalty to their god, and how it allowed him and his family to receive eternal life. Somehow, Gilgamesh had failed twice when proving the test for immortality. Once when he couldn’t go without sleep, and the other, when he lost the consolation gift—a plant of rejuvenation for a better life with his knowledge given by Utanapishtim and his wife—to a snake. After all, Gilgamesh had returned home empty-handed without second chances in reality. The discovered tablets explain his extraordinary powers and adventures in detail. However, according to some narratives by the wall of Uruk stated that he found immortality by a physical creation. Nevertheless, the story is yet to be confusing at the end caused by the split remaining of the epic.

WIZNACK | 28 MASTERPIECE The history of the epic of Gilgamesh had been through editing processes until the second millennium and deliberately edited and developed for many centuries. According to the Babylonian disclose, Sin-leqi-unninni, a scholar from Uruk, one of the earliest editors in history, believed to be the editor of the masterpiece. He compiled the most preserved version of the narrative where his name written in the text. The most standard version of the first millennium had been remolding by the editor with new prefaces of his wisdom when comparing to the old fragments. There were concerns regarding the flood story of the epic that he had interpolated from the early poem of Atra-hasis, and he added one of the Sumerian poems of Bilgames in an Akkadian ordinary language translation to Tablet XII. Moreover, he had made transitions by adding his signature and was blamed for damaging the literary value of the epic. There were arguments about his changes that had caused intellectual importance than the content of the older version itself. The Babylonians referred Sin-leqi-unninni as the conditional author due to his conciliated edits to the epic of Gilgamesh. But more editors had been contributing to the edit and left there mark along with the tablet texts.

29 | WIZNACK MASTERPIECE had changed as intentional editorial decisions, while other changes made casually. There were different editorial techniques used by previous editors as in reading out loud an old tablet to themselves to reproduce a fresh copy. That might misread, miscopied, and misinterpreted the original meaning of the notion. However, the rewriting had copied by a scribe with an alphabetical knowledge who knew the text by heart. It concludes that Ashurbanipal Kuyunjik tablets had edited by many amateur editors who served as students during that time. Hence, there is no wonder to discover those tablets in a state of textual changes, structural errors, damages, and many various editorial updates. — English: Reverse side of the newly discovered tablet V of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

31 | WIZNACK MASTERPIECE SIR GEORGE SMITH BORN March 26, 1840 London, England DIED August 19, 1876 (aged 36) Byfleet, England SUBJECTS OF STUDY “Epic of Gilgamesh”
WIZNACK | 32 MASTERPIECE TRANSLATOR OF THE EPIC George Smith was an English Assyriolo - gist and a British scholar who contributed to translating the Epic of Gilgamesh in the year of 1872 at the British Museum. He had started his career as an apprentice when he was 14 years old to learn banknote en - graving at Bradbury and Evans publishing house in London. His utmost interest in the science of Assyriology advanced him to learn the cuneiform tablets from Nineveh in the year of 1861. Several essays of his publications had recognized by the British Museum’s department of Oriental antiqui - ties and offered him an assistant position to continue his work. His advanced knowledge in Assyriol - ogy guided him to discover the Epic of Gilgamesh from the Sumerian period of Mesopotamian civilization in Akkadian. The statement of his translation was a flood narrative similar to the Chapter Genesis of the Bible. He had declared there was an in - dication of building a boat, a great flood, re - leasing a bird to seek dry land, and survival of a man and his wife. His discovery be - came exceptionally relevant to the world’s philosophical literature and offered to an - nounce it at the presence of Prime Minister Gladstone in a public lecture on December 03rd, 1872. However, Smith’s discovery was limited to only one tablet, though the mass media was astonished, and the newspaper Daily Telegraph had approved funds for him to visit Nineveh to explore the other missing parts of the tablet. Furthermore, he found more evidence of other related fragments to the discovered tablet. And it perceived him to clarify that the newfound part was related to a flood story from the Atra-hasis epic, and not linked to the Epic of Gilgamesh. The statement of his translation was a flood narrative similar to the Chapter Genesis of the Bible.

37 | WIZNACK SIFI RIDE The fast-growing technological variations of this century intensified new inventions and designs of vehicles for today’s generation. These new vehicles have been introducing as concept vehicles during the past decade. From the interior to exterior, these concept vehicles have been updated, thus with unique functionalities that have never demonstrated previously. That is when Tesla started to introduce practical concept vehicles with the ability to function in today’s roads. The Tesla Cybertruck is an all-electrical, battery-powered, light commercial vehicle with a futuristic appearance recently launched by the Elan Musk and Tesla company itself. The Cybertruck has structured into three models with EPA estimates of 250-500 miles (400-800 km), depending on the model, an estimated 0-60 mph time of 2.9 - 6.5 seconds. The motive behind the launch of Cybertruck is to provide a sustainable-energy replacement to lessen the carbon impact on the environment by fossil-fuel-powered trucks in the United States of America. The idea of designing the vehicle discussed by Elon Musk during the years of 2012 and 2013. He desired to build a truck similar to Ford F-250 with load-compensating suspension and created a prototype by late 2018 to show in 2019. In March 2019, Tesla filed for a trademark on “Cybrtrk,” which granted under the United States Patent and Trademark Office 88682748. The amphibious vehicle design concept somewhat based on Wet Nellie, the submarine car from the movie The Spy Who Loved Me. However, on 21st November 2019, Musk decided to schedule the unveiling at the Tesla Design Studio next to SpaceX headquarters in Los Angeles. The truck officially launched under a graffiti-themed logo of “Cybertruck,” and in the meantime, a new trademark request filed for the latest graffiti logo.
WIZNACK | 38 SIFI RIDE FEATURES Exterior: The Cybertruck built for guaranteed durability with an exterior shell for passenger protection. It uses unibody construction, which termed as an “exoskeleton” by Tesla. The overall component strength rated on a high standard, from ultra 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla bulletproof glass. The smooth monochrome exoskeleton provides maximum protection for its passengers. The Tesla bulletproof glass is an ultra-strong glass and polymer-layered composite that can absorb and redirect impact force for improved performance and damage tolerance. The unique feature of vault-like storage allows the vehicle owner to have plenty of space for toolbox, tire, and Cyberquad. The truck utilizes 100 cubic feet of the exterior, lockable storage including the under-bed, frunk, and sail pillars.

The space of the vault can extend into the cab by folding the rear middle seat, which allows the vehicle owner to load and hold long cargo.
41 | WIZNACK SIFI RIDE DURABILITY The unveiling of the Cybertruck took place on 21st November 2019 at the Tesla Design Studio in Los Angeles. Elon Musk demonstrated the durability of the vehicle and its materials. The test successfully conducted by the chief designer Franz Von Holzhausen. He threw a steel ball at the window of the truck without any indication of damage, but when he repeatedly carried the test during the show, the window got damaged. However, the ball didn’t penetrate the window, and Elon Musk said, the slight damage of the cracked window caused by an earlier demonstration of the door hit by a sledgehammer. He further explained, they will work on fixing the unexpected outcome. —
