"Amussu (Movement) is a Moroccan-Qatari documentary by Nadir Bouhmouch and the villagers of Imider in South-Eastern #morocco From 2011 to 2019, the community occupied a water #pipeline leading to a giant silver mine which has been robbing their water and polluting it.

In the detailed and fascinating text dedicated to the experience, Bouhmouch explains how his film crew organised video workshops for the youth of the community, who then filmed some of the scenes and how filming became one of the villager’s many methods of activism, along with poetry, music, theatre and resilience."

The announcement came as Burgum traveled to #Alaska, accompanied by #LeeZeldin, the administrator of the #EPA, & Chris Wright, the secy of the #Energy Dept. The 3 were expected to encourage companies to #drill in sensitive areas like the #ArcticNationalWildlifeRefuge & to support a liquefied natural gas #pipeline in the state.
The plan to allow #drilling in the #petroleum reserve drew praise from the #oil industry.

🔔 Slides zu Legal Data Engineering 🔔

Was ist Legal Data Engineering? Wie sieht die Praxis juristischer Daten in Deutschland aus? Welche rechtlichen Probleme ergeben sich im Zusammenhang mit Legal Data Engineering? Diese Präsentation bietet eine Einführung zu Legal Data Engineering und sucht Antworten auf diese Fragen.

Slides: zenodo.org/records/15575231/fi

Legal Data Engineering ist der Schwerpunkt eines jeden Legal Data Science Projekts. Kern von Data Engineering ist der ETL-Prozess: Extraktion, Transformation und das (Hoch-)Laden von Daten. Die Slides bieten dazu einen allgemeinverständlichen Überblick.

Weitere praktische Themen sind die Verfügbarkeit juristischer Daten in Deutschland (insbesondere strukturierter Daten und Programmierschnittstellen), Probleme bei der Tokenisierung in Large Language Models und die Fehlerkennung von Gen-Namen in Microsoft Excel.

Bei den rechtlichen Fragen des Legal Data Engineering behandle ich die tradierte Rechtslage, das neue Datennutzungsgesetz (DNG) und Bayern als Negativbeispiel einer verschlossenen juristischen Datenkultur. Eine Diskussion der Datenschutzklage gegen OpenJur und der Open Data-Klage der Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (GFF) gegen die Bundespolizei klären über aktuelle Entwicklungen in diesem Rechtsbereich auf.

The decision by the #pipeline biz, #WilliamsCompanies, to restart efforts to build the pipelines comes a week after the #Trump admin withdrew its opposition to a wind energy project, Empire Wind, off the coast of #LongIsland, after weeks of lobbying by #NewYork Gov. #KathyHochul.

As part of the discussions over letting Empire Wind move forward, Hochul said she would work w/the #Trump admin on new #energy projects that comply w/state #law, though she did not explicitly mention #pipelines.

Aww hell no

A #pipeline company is reviving plans to build TWO #NaturalGas pipelines into #NewYork, in a bet that the #Trump admin will be able to strong-arm #states into signing off on #energy projects.

#NY had blocked both pipelines over #environmental concerns. But Trump has made clear that he wants more #oil & #gas infrastructure, including in the Northeast, where pipelines had become so hard to build that companies had all but given up on them.

The New York Times · Williams to Revive Plans for N.Y. Natural Gas PipelinesBy Rebecca F. Elliott

California folks!

from Oil & Gas Action Network:

10 years ago, a ruptured pipeline spilled more than 450,000 gallons of crude oil into the Pacific Ocean at Refugio State Beach. Beaches were closed, fisheries shut down, & marine wildlife — from pelicans to sea lions — died in devastating numbers

We should be learning from our past — not repeating it. But California State Parks just granted a CA Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption to Sable Offshore Corp., the TEXAS-based oil company that has been running roughshod over California regulations as they rush to restart the same disaster-prone pipeline

Tell State Parks to do the right thing: Defend our precious ecosystems and prioritize people over Big Oil’s profits!

There’s still time to stop this.
Write to Gov. Newsom, AG Rob Bonta, and California State Parks to require a full Environmental Impact Report before Sable gets another green light

Tja da muss man sich was einfallen lassen

Ein "weiter so" der industriellen Landwirtschaft kaum möglich

jedes Jahr das gleiche oder noch mehr davon, es wird Zeit dass Landwirte die Industrielle Landwirtschaft aufgeben und mit mehr Handarbeit (oder Roboter) dem ganzen entgegen wirken (Büsche, Bäume = Schatten)
