Profiting from misery – how #smugglers bring people to Europe
This animation explains the key facts about the two main routes used by criminal gangs to smuggle people, often under deplorable conditions, into Europe. Last year people smuggling networks made more than 4 billion Euros from their criminal activities.
Frontex-coordinated Operation #Triton
This short animation explains how the Frontex coordinated Operation Triton works. It provides information on the number of vessels, aircraft and helicopters deployed, the operational area as well as the number of countries which take part in it. The video clarifies the responsibility of the individual European countries both over border control and Search and Rescue. It also tells what happens from the moment a boat with migrants is detected, through the disembarkation in Italy, identification and asylum procedures.

Miles of Ice Collapsing Into the Sea - The New York Times

This is the first of three dispatches from a New York Times reporting trip to #Antarctica.
Avec de la #cartographie de flux de #glaciers très très wahouuu en #WebGL
A rapid disintegration of Antarctica might, in the worst case, cause the sea to rise so fast that tens of millions of coastal refugees would have to flee inland, potentially straining societies to the breaking point. Climate scientists used to regard that scenario as fit only for Hollywood disaster scripts. But these days, they cannot rule it out with any great confidence.
Naked Mole-Rats Take on Plant-like Role to Survive Oxygen Deprivation
▻http://www.biosciencetechnology.com/news/2017/04/naked-mole-rats-take-plant-role-survive-oxygen-deprivation
Metabolizing fructose to produce energy anaerobically through a specific metabolic pathway is a process that scientists previously thought was only used by plants. Not so, says new research.
Naked mole-rats can survive low-oxygen conditions that in all other mammals would normally result in brain cell death, by making a switch from a glucose-based system that depends on oxygen, to one where their brain cells start burning fructose.
“This is just the latest remarkable discovery about the naked #mole-rat —a cold-blooded mammal that lives decades longer than other rodents, rarely gets cancer, and doesn’t feel many types of pain,” study leader, Thomas Park, professor of biological sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said in a statement.
For the study, published this week in Science, naked mole-rats were exposed to low oxygen levels in the lab, and researchers observed that large amounts of fructose was released into the bloodstream. Molecular fructose pumps, which are only found on cells of the intestine in all other mammals, transport the fructose into the naked mole-rats brain cells.
Park has studied the interesting creature for 18 years and said: “The naked mole-rat has simply rearranged some basic building-blocks of metabolism to make it super-tolerant to low oxygen conditions.”
The animals go into a state of suspended animation and can even live through 18 minutes of total oxygen deprivation. When they go into the suspended animation state, their breathing slows dramatically, as well as their heart rate, which drops from 200 to about 50 beats per minute. They are the only mammals known to employ this method for survival of oxygen deprivation.
Once oxygen becomes available, they resume normal activity with no signs of lasting damage.

Gypsies, Roma, Travellers: An Animated History
Europe is home to 10–12 million Roma and Travellers, yet many Europeans are unable to answer the basic question, “Who are the Roma?” Even fewer can answer questions about their history.

The Basics of #DOM Manipulation in Vanilla #JavaScript (#No_jQuery)
►https://www.sitepoint.com/dom-manipulation-vanilla-javascript-no-jquery
Whenever we need to perform DOM manipulation, we’re all quick to reach for jQuery. However, the vanilla JavaScript DOM API is actually quite capable in its own right, and since IE < 11 has been officially abandoned, it can now be used without any worries.
In this article, I’ll demonstrate how to accomplish some of the most common DOM manipulation tasks with plain JavaScript, namely:
– querying and modifying the DOM,
– modifying classes and attributes,
– listening to events, and
– animation.

Watched! Surveillance, Art & Photography | C/O Berlin
First of all, I know it’s all people like you. And that’s what’s so scary. Individually you don’t know what you’re doing collectively.” Dave Eggers, The Circle
Total surveillance? Video cameras in banks, department stores, and public spaces; algorithm-based advertising and cookies on the Internet; government data collection and private cloud storage – today, we take permanent observation and data sharing for granted as a normal part of our everyday lives. We are constantly using services like Google Maps, watching live streams of films, trying out exciting new health apps and exploring unimagined possibilities for self-tracking. We follow friends and complete strangers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and we ourselves are constantly being tracked. We profit from the new digital technologies and services and are willing to open up more and more of our private lives to public view. Surveillance and big data have long since become a major social issue.
Contemporary surveillance is not limited to visual monitoring. Yet to understand how surveillance works, it is necessary to address the photographic aspect. Today, our entire existence is being photographed and visualized to an unprecedented degree, raising new questions about voluntary and involuntary visibility as well as photohistorical issues of observing and being observed. The exhibition Watched! Surveillance Art & Photography examines the complexities of modern surveillance with a focus on photography and visual media. The works in the exhibition deal with themes ranging from technologies used by government and regulatory agencies to everyday surveillance practices that have become integral parts of our lives, especially in social media. The question is: How can contemporary art and media theory contribute to a better understanding of our modern surveillance society?
The Berlin exhibition presents works by around 20 international artists who offer different commentaries on and reactions to precisely this question. It combines emerging artistic practices, represented by young artists such as Julian Röder, Viktoria Binschtok, and Esther Hovers, with the work of internationally recognized artists like Hito Steyerl, Trevor Paglen, Jill Magid, Hasan Elahi, Paolo Cirio, Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin, James Bridle, and Ai Wei Wei to present as wide as possible a spectrum of artistic approaches. The artists in the exhibition appropriate technologies like video surveillance, facial recognition, Google Street View, digital lifelogging, and virtual animation. They probe the need for safety and security, which is frequently used as an argument for increasing surveillance while often ignoring the problems of discriminatory controls and criminalization that follow. The viewer is invited to think about how we can live in a society with diverse surveillance networks without contributing to the inequalities that surveillance produces.

The Pudding is a journal of visual essays. It’s a new publication from Polygraph, a collective specializing in visualization.
What is a visual essay? Imagine a New Yorker-esque longread about a complex topic, yet instead of dense prose, code, data, and animation are used to construct a different sort of story. It’s one that’s reader-driven, explorable, and embeddable into other websites.

Movies Featuring the Nmap Security Scanner
▻https://nmap.org/movies
For reasons unknown, Hollywood has decided that Nmap is the tool to show whenever hacking scenes are needed. At least it is a lot more realistic than silly 3D animation approach used in many previous movies (e.g. “hacking the Gibson” on Hackers, or the much worse portrayals on Swordfish). We always like to see Nmap in the movies, so we have catalogued known instances here.
If you catch Nmap in another flick, please mail Fyodor. The first person to do so wins your choice of a signed copy of Nmap Network Scanning or a T-shirt of your choice from the Zero Day Clothing Nmap Store. You also get credit on this page when the movie is added!
Matrix Reloaded
While Nmap had been used in some previous obscure movies, it was The Matrix Reloaded (Wikipedia, IMDB, Amazon) which really turned Nmap into a movie star!
We have all seen many movies like Hackers which pass off ridiculous 3D animated eye-candy scenes as hacking. So Fyodor was shocked to find that Trinity does it properly in The Matrix Reloaded. Needing to hack the city power grid, she whips out Nmap version 2.54BETA25, uses it to find a vulnerable SSH server, and then proceeds to exploit it using the SSH1 CRC32 exploit from 2001. Shame on the city for being vulnerable
