Hamas didn’t invade Israel on Oct. 7 for its amusement. The barbaric sneak attack is a part of the pogrom intended to wipe out the Jewish state. It was a crime against humanity, and not just because of its savagery. We would all be worse off if Israel ceased to exist. The same cannot be said for Islamic terrorists.

Israel’s contributions to the modern world are momentous. When not dodging bullets, rockets, and homicide bombers, Israelis have since 1948 developed:

Copaxone and Rebif, drugs that treat multiple sclerosis, and Exelon, which treats mild to moderate dementia in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients.

The PillCam, “a minimally invasive ingestible camera in a capsule that allows visualization of the small bowel.”

The water desalination process.

The Sniffphone, “that can actually ‘sniff out’ diseases.”

And SpineAssist, “​​the first-ever spine robot” that has the “ability to provide real-time intraoperative navigation.”

The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, responsible for some of the inventions listed above, has also produced diabetes and flu vaccines, is using T-cells to treat damaged spines, and is a pioneer in industrial — and medical — uses nano materials. 

Other impactful Israeli products include drip irrigation, a revolutionary microprocessor called the 8088, the ​​NIR heart stent, voice-over-internet protocol, the ​​USB flash drive, the Waze navigation app, ReWalk, “a commercial bionic walking assistance system,” and “the first commercially viable firewall software.” 

Our own security has benefited from Israel’s labor and work ethic.

“Many Israeli innovations are present in upgrades to U.S. Air Force fighters and Army equipment,” says the international law firm Smith, Gambrell & Russell. One important advance in particular is the helmet-mounted display system for the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

So we have a country of 9.23 million, mostly desert, that is only 75 years old, is “surrounded by enemies” and in a constant state of war, which has “no natural resources,” yet “produces more start-up companies on a per capita basis than large, peaceful, and stable nations and regions like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and all of Europe.” It is the only nation outside of the U.S. that Warren Buffet invests in.

Have the Palestinians or Hamas, currently at war with Israel, done anything that compares to what the Israelis have achieved? More broadly, beyond the Allahista terrorist groups, what has Islam contributed to the modern world?

Not much.

Since 1901, Jews, who total 0.2% of the world’s population, have won 189 Nobel prizes for physics, medicine, chemistry and economics. Over that same period, Muslims, who make up nearly a quarter of the global population, have won four.

If it seems as Islamic groups, Hamas and Hezbollah prominent among them, are more interested in spreading nihilism, committing atrocities, and destroying civilization than making the world a better place, well, then there’s a good reason for it. That is exactly what the heroes of an increasingly large number foolish Westerners are aiming for.

Meanwhile, Israelis see themselves “as having a role in the world to repair the world,” says Chemi Peres, managing partner and co-founder of the venture capital firm Pitango, chairman of the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation, and son of the late Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres.

“We call it tikkun olam, and here at the Peres Center we have a mission statement, which is to introduce innovation and new ideas and new technologies, not only for ourselves but to solve the problems of the world.”

Islam is part of that world, but too many of its adherents live to do just the opposite.

In today's fast-paced financial landscape, businesses require advanced software solutions to remain competitive. IT consulting services play a pivotal role in aligning financial software with evolving business needs. This blog explores how IT consulting services enhance various financial processes, including trade finance, Islamic finance, and lending systems like Loan IQ, supported by financial technology partners.

The Role of IT Consulting in Financial Transformation

IT consulting services help financial institutions adopt the right technologies by analyzing their requirements and recommending suitable solutions. These services align business goals with technology strategies, ensuring seamless operations, enhanced efficiency, and improved decision-making.

Key areas supported by IT consulting include:

Trade finance automation

Implementation of Loan IQ and other lending systems

Islamic finance compliance through tailored financial software

Integration of fintech solutions with legacy systems

Trade finance involves multiple parties, paperwork, and cross-border transactions. Financial software, guided by IT consulting firms, automates and streamlines these processes.

Benefits include:

Digital documentation and process automation

Real-time transaction tracking

Enhanced risk management and compliance

IT consulting companies ensure the seamless integration of financial software within existing systems, allowing institutions to reduce manual errors and expedite trade processes.

Loan IQ is a powerful financial software for managing syndicated loans, bilateral loans, and other lending services. However, effective deployment requires specialized expertise.

IT consulting services assist in:

Customizing the platform for local and international lending rules

Providing ongoing support and upgrades to the system

With their expertise, IT service companies enable financial institutions to optimize loan management, improve borrower experience, and ensure compliance.

AI-based risk assessment for Islamic lending

Consulting services ensure smooth collaboration between financial institutions and fintech providers, fostering innovation and business growth.

Examples include:

Development of Sharia-compliant lending modules

Automated profit-and-loss sharing calculations

Integration with Islamic fintech tools for better compliance

These consulting services enable institutions to offer Islamic lending solutions efficiently while maintaining Sharia compliance.

The Value of IT Service Companies in the Financial Sector

IT service companies offer more than just technical support; they provide strategic insights and solutions that align with financial institutions' long-term goals. Their involvement ensures:

Seamless integration of financial software across departments

Continuous monitoring and support for critical systems

Data security and regulatory compliance

These services enable financial organizations to remain agile and competitive, meeting the needs of both customers and regulators.

Serving as a form of wealth distribution, it aids those in need and fosters social welfare. Often referred to as the Islamic wealth tax, it's important to note that this differs from the income tax, which applies to all individuals in the country.

Within Saudi Arabia, eligible Muslims are required to fulfill their Islamic wealth tax obligations in accordance with stipulated requirements. Failure to meet these obligations can lead to penalties and legal entanglements.

This encompasses validating taxpayer information, processing registration applications, and conducting audits to verify returns and payments. Overall, GAZT plays a pivotal role in Saudi Arabia's economic progress.

Calculation of Zakat in Saudi Arabia Typically, Zakat is computed at a rate of 2.5% based on the total value of assets. Assets subject to taxation include cash, gold, silver, investments, and business inventory.

The Islamic wealth tax calculation involves several available services, including:

Registration Payment Immediate certificate issuance Certificate request Holding company registration Holding company deregistration Declaration Return amendment Contract release application Installment plan Filing an objection on reassessment Registration details amendment A clear understanding of Zakat regulations is imperative to ensure adherence to Islamic tax laws and Saudi Arabian regulations.

Cybersecurity Importance

As an entrepreneur, I believe that the success and reputation of any business are determined by its ability to protect sensitive data to assure and maintain the trust of clients, stakeholders, and employees. Cybersecurity is no longer a luxury for businesses; it is imperative. One of the recent examples of cybersecurity breaches happened earlier this year at Indonesia’s largest Islamic bank, Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI). This hacker attack disrupted the bank’s services from May 8th to May 11th and led to the leakage of 8,133 files, including the employees’ personal information. Even a ransom of $20 million was requested during the breach, which was negotiated to $100,000 before it went up to US$10 million. The 2016 Dhaka Bank heist in Bangladesh is another example of the infamous cybersecurity breaches. Considered to be the largest bank robbery in history, it is believed to have been executed by North Korean nation-state hackers. The plan itself was remarkably complex and meticulously calculated; the malware software was sent to the bank employees a year prior to the transfer of funds from the bank. The original plan ordered $1 billion to be transferred out of the bank, yet the New York Feds rejected most of the transfers, resulting in a loss of $81 million. We can say cybersecurity requires more attention than it receives. It’s essential to integrate best practices to protect your digital assets: - Capable security software protection systems with consistent monitoring and auditing should be regulated internally - Strong security and access control with rightful ownership necessary - Investing in cybersecurity awareness training and education in the latest cybersecurity trends - Infrequent but necessary data backups can go a long way #Cybersecurity #TechTrends #DigitalSecurity #CyberRiskManagement #InformationSecurity #PurpleQuarter

Animation Night 40 - Live Action × Animation

Hello friends! It’s THURSDAY. You know what that means. Unless you followed me this week, in which case: it’s the day of the week where I stream animated films on Twitch.

(No good excuses for the lack of long essays on Lupin or GitS - at this rate I’ll probably end up doing a full Lupin writeup when we get around to our second Lupin night. Such is life!)

Tonight, we’re going to take a break from heavy contemplative artsy anime to go somewhere fun. We’ll be taking a look into a technique that has recurred throughout the history of my medium of obsession, which is compositing traditional & stop-motion animation with live-action!

Now, compositing animation in general with live action footage is now pretty much universal in films with any sort of fantasy elements. This is because 3D CGI is now very mature, to the point that paying a studio artists to go down the sculpt -> retopo -> rig -> mocap/animate [-> cleanup mocap] -> physics sim -> shade -> render -> composite pipeline is often a cheaper alternative than practical effects. Nowadays, you can get extremely good camera tracking and compositing even with free software like Blender (check out Ian Hubert’s tutorials if you want a quick introduction to that kinda thing!)...

Compositing traditional animation into live film on the other hand is much, much rarer, to the point that there’s only a handful of films that have tried it. The reason for this is basically that doing the camera tracking/perspective projection by hand, accurately enough to be convincing, is very very difficult, and therefore time-consuming, and therefore... expensive. Outside of a few one-off novelties which could be sold on ‘what if The Cartoons came to life’, it’s not been worth it for studios...

Well, those one-off novelties are our subject for tonight! Namely: Who Framed Roger Rabbit by ‘very famous old dead dude’ Richard Williams, Space Jam by Warner Bros in their heyday, and even a certain mr. Ralph Bakshi’s Cool World because we gotta give him a nod some time, right? (This may prove to be a mistake.)

So, let’s start with the big one in this arena: Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Richard Williams is a biiiig name in animator circles mostly because he wrote hands down one of the best books on animation, The Animator’s Survival Kit, which did a great job of exploring the nuances of what can be expressed in motion, and basically set the tone of animation pedagogy ever since as far as I can tell!

But, he’s also known for two major films. One is, of course, his passion project The Thief and the Cobbler, which like a more extreme iteration of Takeshi Koike’s Redline he pursued for more than three decades on and off since the 60s. Eventually the studio funding it got tired of seeing no return on their investment; Allied Filmmakers sent the unfinished parts of the film off to be finished as quickly as possible, and released in a hastily recut form to compete - rather unsuccessfully - with Disney’s Aladdin.

Subsequently, fanmade ‘recobbled cuts’ of the film aiming to recreate Williams’ vision became popular as a kind of cult hit among film nerds. It’s a troubling film to talk about because, for all its immense technical achievements in cinematography and composition inspired by Islamic art, it is overwhelmingly orientalist, featuring names like Vizier Zigzag and Princess Yum-Yum and an excuse plot in which these stock characters go through macguffin-oriented motions. This is a good description of a lot of Williams’ animation: incredible technical skill applied to deliver stories that are just, not very interesting...

It was in the wake of losing creative control on Cobbler that Williams went into a depressive retreat and penned The Animator’s Survival Kit; though some of his examples are clearly from that film, he never explicitly talks about it by name, and has avoided commenting too much, it seemed like it was a fairly sore subject right up to his death.

In any case we’re not here to talk about either of those; there’s enough Williams hagiography out there. Instead, let’s focus on his other well known film: Who Framed Roger Rabbit, directed Robert Zemeckis. This film elaborates on the common gag that animated characters are actors who, when off the job, live typical actor lives, imagining a ghettoised ‘toon town’ where the animated characters live that’s just a district in Hollywood. That it’s a metaphor for racialised capitalism in America is kinda obvious, right? But when I first watched it I was young enough that it went totally over my head, so it’s gonna be fun to rewatch with adult eyes...

The plot plays around with hardboiled detective tropes, but what really ‘sells’ it is the fantastic moment to moment gags and acting: the human actors doing a stellar job of acting around invisible cartoons (greenscreen tech not yet existing), and Williams and his crew (often working late from hotel rooms per anecdotes in Survival Kit!) doing an equally fantastic job of making their characters interact with the environment to make them all seem part of the same scene, knocking things over, casting shadows etc.

A lot of the film’s thing is to play on the different ‘rules’ obeyed by toons vs humans: instead of physical logic, toons play by a kind of emotive logic. Roger Rabbit’s a kind of Loony Tunes main character, and as such his interactions with the world are driven by the need to create laughs at all times; his wife Jessica Rabbit is a ludicrously exaggerated sexy girl character who kind of strains against this inescapable role. It’s a very clever film with a lot going on, and it’s no surprise it revitalised the animation industry in the States when it came out...

Ironically given how much Roger Rabbit built his reputation, Williams himself wanted to break from the slapstick funny animal mode that dominated American cartoons at the time (and still does! though now more CGI), trying to push animation into more varied, creative directions. He died while working on another passion project, a two-person project working with his wife playing on Greek mythology. The film tries for something really quite ridiculous, with every frame being a meticulously shaded pencil figure drawing; it is no surprise that Williams only completed a short ‘prologue’ before his death.

Williams is an odd dude; it’s easy to treat him hagiographically because of his immense technical skill, and he definitely did a lot to push this medium into interesting places, but he was also very ‘of his time’; I was immensely frustrated watching Cobbler that someone so creative with his visual inspiration could not also extend a little humanity to the people who inspired his film. Well, Roger Rabbit leaves the writing to someone else, and lets Williams handle the technical character-acting magic, and this is perhaps where he shines most...

‘What if you could fuck a cartoon’ does seem to be a recurring motif of this kind of animation/live action crossover, and that brings us to Ralph Bakshi and Cool World...

So. Ralph Bakshi is another one of those animation auteurs with a distinctive style who you have to caveat a little before recommending lmao. With a background as a very young Jewish migrant in Brooklyn, Bakshi soon became very embedded in American counterculture. He got his first jobs in animation right at the bottom rung, as a ‘cel polisher’ responsible for cleaning dust from animation cels before photography, but worked his way up until he was directing films. Not content to work in the largely kid-targeted ecosystem, Bakshi was one of the people who went hard on pushing the ‘adult animation’ model, including its fumbling early experimentation with ‘haha, sex’. Most of his films (with exceptions like Wizards and his LotR) draw on the place he grew up, typically using very abstract archetypal characters; sex work is a major theme.

This video essay covers Bakshi’s work from a much more informed perspective than I can. My impression is, well, at his best Bakshi will take you into some fascinating psychic terrain; at his worst he leans entirely on shock value. At the time of Cool World, which is afaik his only time compositing animation with live action, Bakshi had made a few early films, like... sigh... “Coonskin” which was a dubious attempt to intervene positively against the medium’s history of racism, or, like Fritz the Cat, a film about a horny student cat which in reptuation relied almost entirely on the shock value of talking about sex in an animated film.

Cool World doesn’t go quite as edgy as these, but it’s definitely not as far afield as he’d go later with films like Wizards or his Lord of the Rings. It also predates Bakshi’s interest in xerox-based pseudo-rotoscoping, which means the animation ages a bit better than say, LotR.

So, Cool World. This thing came out in 1992, four years after Roger Rabbit, and it’s honestly kind of bizarre that it did, because if the opposite were true I’d be like, oh, Jessica Rabbit is a parody of Holly Would (yeah we’re on like, James Bond film level puns here).

The plot basically hinges on the idea that a toon world exists in parallel to the real world as an alternate dimension rather than a physical place; a man called Frank gets isekai’d there during a traffic accident. In Cool World, he discovers one other human (or in the film’s parlance, ‘noid’) man has been transported to Cool World previously and used it to support an artistic career. Before long, Jack the cartoonist commits the cardinal sin of fucking a drawing; this transforms Holly Would into a real girl (or noid), and she attempts to find a way to remain in noid form permanently, threatening the fabric of reality and risking various people getting turned into ‘doodles’ themselves. Ultimately both guys get permanently turned into drawings, allowing them to stay with their waifus in the drawing dimension.

Which like, phew there’s a lot going on there! Naturally a lot of the like, setpieces hinge on the ability to create things through a drawing pen, and the notion of escapism into a world of like, heightened libidinal blah blah...

Some interesting tidbits from this film’s production include: Bakshi claiming he primarily made it to make money because his paintings were hardly selling; Bakshi clashing hard with the studio because he wanted to make it an R-rated horror comedy instead of something PG-13; and the sheer chaotic improvisational process of the film, wherein:

The film's animators were never given a screenplay, and were instead told by Bakshi to "Do a scene that's funny, whatever you want to do!"[4]

It honestly kind of amazes me that this resulted in a film at all!

In any case the critics absolutely hated this movie, and it failed catastrophically at the box office, one of Bakshi’s least successful films. Almost seems like a disfavour to the guy to show Cool World as our first look into his work, but hey, there’s not a lot of examples on this theme. And I kinda want to see just how bad it gets w friends lmao.

Well, things were quiet in the compositing traditional animation front for a bit, but throw on four more years and we get Space Jam! While the previous films are the work of ‘big name’ animation auteurs, the main big name associated with Space Jam is actually basketballer Michael Jordan, who had discovered a very lucrative gig in lending his name and image to advertising, and now sought to make a big deal of his return to basketball after somewhat unsucessfully trying a switch to baseball. For reasons best known to him and the other marketing execs he was working with, he thought it wise to narrativise this career change through a feature film featuring Looney Tunes characters.

The first examples of Jordan collabing with Warner Bros were some Nike ads in 1992 where Jordan appeared alongside Bugs Bunny; these were apparently successful enough to convince Warner Bros execs that they could still make money off Bugs et al., and they greenlit a full film.

There’s a cute anecdote on Wikipedia about this:

One thing I heard was that [producer] Ivan Reitman, when they were thinking about going ahead with this movie, had phoned up Robert Zemeckis about Who Framed Roger Rabbit and asked, 'Do you have any advice on what we should do to make a movie like this?' And he said, 'Don’t do it, it nearly killed me.'

Reitman disregarded this advice, and they went ahead with the film, letting Bruce W. Smith - who had worked on Roger Rabbit - direct the animation. It soon became apparent that the project would be so difficult they had to rope in many different studios, despite many animators feeling pessimism about the ‘doomed marketing scheme’ underlying the whole thing. Smoothing the way a bit was the advent of computer tech that made the production less reliant on physical cels for compositing, overtaking contemporary CGI-heavy vfx movies like Independence Day for the number of composited shots.

While Roger Rabbit used physical sets and composited animation into them, Space Jam would take the opposite approach, filming the whole thing in a large greenscreen room with other NBA players taking the role of toons in the sports sequence. While the main characters are traditionally animated, CG was used for the backgrounds, drawing on camera tracking tech from the VFX industry. In those days, raytraced reflections were still too computationally expensive (how much things have changed!) so a lot of fakery had to be used; there were also some quite interesting developments in compositing motion blur and such...

And what is this technical stuff in service of? It’s a film about basketball! What is there to say about the plot? It’s pretty tropey; the main reason to watch is to well, see the Looney Tunes characters pretending to have physical presence, and the ‘sports anime’ meme-ness of a world where basketball inexplicably takes overriding importance over all affairs. The villains are a group of aliens who download the abilities of major basketballers in a scheme to abduct the Looney Tunes characters; the Looney Tunes kidnap Michael Jordan to try and win the crucial basketball game and avoid getting taken away to a space themepark or something. It’s an excuse plot, let’s put it that way!

You know exactly what you’re getting into there, and it’s become somewhat emblematic of 90s capitalist pop culture. In internet culture, it got kind of associated with the indie RPG Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam! Gaiden, which borrowed the theme for its trailer as part of its sendup of the whole 90s basketball... thing??, and more broadly the use of the theme in a remix meme.

As is often the case with this kind of meme from mostly white chan culture (c.f. also the use of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s opening theme in bait-and-switch memes), there’s an obvious tension there... it’s not a coincidence that it’s mostly Black guys who get this ‘comedic symbol’ treatment right? Though I gotta admit, with so many semiotic balls in the air, trying to evaluate what Space Jam is doing in the context of like, the origins of Looney Tunes-style slapstick cartoons in vaudeville and minstrel shows would not be something I want to attempt lightly.

It’s been quite a long long time since I’ve looked into anything Looney Tunes; I remember they had a pretty distinctive aesthetic in their more sci-fi episodes, so it’s going to be fun to revisit it again in the guise of a weirdly elaborate marketing exercise from when I was 5 years old!

...and that’s our main feature films covered, but we also have a handful of shorts to round out this exploration of live action/cartoon mixing. In the very early days of the medium, having live performers interact with cartoons was a favourite trick of early animators like Winsor McKay in work like Gertie the Dinosaur, and even earlier than McKay, we had examples of actors interacting with drawings through simple editing tricks like The Enchanted Drawing by J. Stuart Blackton:

...who would go on to create some of the earliest stop-motion animated films such as The Haunted Hotel, integrating animation with live action through editing rather than compositing. Stop motion would be used extensively in the VFX industry, most famously by Ray Harryhausen with films like Jason and the Argonauts but also in films like Star Wars, until CGI and animatronics came to supersede it with less headaches for the filmmakers.

On the other end of the timeline, @mogsk​ tracked down a delightful little MTV short combining stop motion composited shots with a segue into a uh, dream sequence using photos as a stop motion element, reminiscent of ‘pixilation’. I am going to throw this in even though it only kinda fits because it’s a cool short!

Honestly, it’s not a surprise that we don’t have many examples to pick from; all these films were enormously taxing on their creators and lean pretty heavily on the gimmick, which between them they pretty thoroughly explore! But I’m glad we have a few, and I think it’s going to be fun to explore them...

Animation Night 40 (four zero!) will commence in about 10 minutes (7:10pm UK time), streamed at twitch.tv/canmom, and I look forward to seeing you there ^^
