    Since last week’s post, I’ve learned that there is an official OGC #Moving #Features #JSON Encodings repository with more recent sample datasets, including MovingPoint, MovingPolygon, and Trajectory JSON examples.

    THE CHARM OF THE SWARM - WORLD WIDE WIKIPEDIA

    The internet giant Wikipedia just turned 20. We take a look at its background and the future of the online encyclopaedia. Louis Christie reviews Maria Teresa Curzio 2021’s documentary. Now in its third decade, Wikipedia faces some complex questions. What role can robots play in writing and regulating articles? Can automated translation help save indigenous languages? What are the implications for an online encyclopaedia when nine in ten contributors are men? In a world where data is the (...) #Features

    Nomadland take 2: A reconfiguration of a terribly dysfunctional society.
    ▻https://www.mydylarama.org.uk/Nomadland-take-2-A-reconfiguration-of-a-terribly-dysfunctional-societ

    In 2011 the USG mine in Empire Nevada closed, effectively creating a ghost town. Caught in the wake of this collapse, Fern (Frances McDormand) has lost her job, her home and is reeling from her husband’s recent passing. Fern becomes part of the disparate and transient “nomad” community. The nomads are usually older, often solitary, Americans living on the road in cars, vans, and mobile homes, following seasonal work and forming short term convoys. “What the nomads are doing is not that (...) #Features

    Nomadland : A Romanticisation Of Misery ?
    ▻https://www.mydylarama.org.uk/Nomadland-A-Romanticisation-Of-Misery

    In Chloé Zhao’s 2020 docu-fiction, Frances McDormand plays a woman in her sixties whose financial circumstances force her out of her home and into a life on the road, roaming the country in a camper van in search of temporary work. Nomadland (2020) is a romanticisation of misery. And for that reason, it is going to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. In an era where hopelessness is the norm and anxiety about our bleak future is prevalent among most of us, cultural productions such as (...) #Features

    Pick of IFFR: Sexual Drive, directed by Yoshida Kota
    ▻https://www.mydylarama.org.uk/Pick-of-IFFR-Sexual-Drive-directed-by-Yoshida-Kota

    International Film Festival Rotterdam had some dazzling pieces in its programme this year, but Sexual Drive seriously stands out in its ambition and creative execution. Japanese director Yoshida Kota’s odd but undeniably endearing film is triumphant in illustrating the intimate link between food and sex, at the sweaty intersection of lust and repressed desires. Sexual Drive is a striking piece in that the plot is three separate vignettes, all involving a seemingly sudden and dramatic (...) #Features

    In a lab-like location, Maia Levy, a young Jewish American woman, watches videos portraying life in the occupied West Bank, while verbalizing her thoughts and feelings in real time. Director Alexandrowicz once again explores and denounces the injustices faced by Palestinians living under occupation this time in a clever #experimental process whereby he aims to capture the viewer’s emotional and verbal responses to a series of videos - many of them shot by Jerusalem-based human rights NGO (...) #Features

    Mank: David Fincher’s Xanadu

    Something is troubling David Fincher. Despite his multiple Oscar nominations, the consistent box office returns that keep the studios purring, and the cult fandom generated by his dark and twisty thrillers, something is gnawing at him. He hasn’t done his “Hollywood” picture. And really, how do you expect to be taken seriously as a white male American auteur without a handsome and lightly satirical peek behind the soundstage. Look around you. Scorsese has made Aviator, Tarantino has Once Upon a (...) #Features

    A lone drifter suffering from partial memory loss accepts a job to look after a psychologically troubled woman in an abandoned house on an isolated island. I took a punt on this offering whilst browsing this year’s Leeds International Film Festival output. As usual, the programming was first-class but I usually make it my priority to hone in on entries that come under “horror”. It’s no mean feat for a film to surprise and scare me given how blasé I’ve become but it’s an even greater (...) #Features

    Craig Roberts’ « Eternal Beauty » is a bold representation of mental illness that breaks with cinematic tradition, adding a rare level of nuance and compassion to an often misrepresented topic. Sally Hawkins stars as Jane, an isolated woman struggling with depression, schizophrenia and an at times toxic environment - 80s English suburbia. A chance encounter and whirlwind relationship with fellow patient Mike (David Thewlis) appears to grant her a new lifeline but instead serves only to (...) #Features

    How Subjected Bodies are Connecting the Struggle Against Collaborating States

    Anti-police brutality protests — initially triggered by the police killing of unarmed Black teenager Michael Brown in #Ferguson, #Missouri — are ongoing throughout the United States, allowing many to learn the history of the systemic violence against the Black body in the US. In turn, minorities sharing similar struggles against oppression have been joining these demonstrations in solidarity. Of particular note are the Palestinians, both in the diaspora and in their homeland, who are drawing connections between their oppression by the Israeli state and racial oppression of Black people in the US.

Digital rights are defined as the #Human_Rights that allow individuals to access, use, create, and share digital media through communication tools like #smart_phones or #computers. In order to form a defense against such abuses, Al-Akhbar English has compiled a beginner’s guide that highlights basic e-rights in #Lebanon.

    In the never-ending era of the Global War on Terrorism, with its insurgencies and counter-insurgencies, the thin line between military and humanitarian objectives has exceedingly been blurred – both sectors have found themselves aligned, at times uncomfortably so for humanitarian workers. Last month, the release of an updated US army field manual that outlines the Americans’ doctrine for #counter-insurgency continues that trend.

    When discussing anti-Black #racism amongst Arab-Americans one often finds themselves immersed in reductionism, apologetics and ponderous efforts to incapacitate any discourse at all related to the subject.

    On June 6, 2013, the BBC’s staff were reportedly the first Western reporters to enter Qusayr, after Syrian regime forces backed by #Hezbollah fighters declared the town’s takeover. Qusayr had been under the control of armed opposition fighters for nearly a year, and the battle for the town marked the official and overt entry of Hezbollah into the war.

    #Hassan_Hamdan, known as Mahdi Amel, is a mystery to those living outside of the region. A prolific individual, he was a poet, academic and a senior member of the Lebanese Communist Party.

    Khouribga, a phosphate-mining town in northwestern Morocco, has become home to a growing population of return migrants, that is, Moroccans returning to the homeland following European adventures.
