Map of the disputed territory of Acre, claimed by Peru, Bolivia and Brazil, before a settlement where Brazil purchased the land.

The territory of Acre was recognized by Brazil as Bolivian, despite Peru also claiming the land. Tensions rose in the late 19th century however as the Amazon region became economically important due to the rubber boom, with many Brazilian settlers occupying lands in the Amazon to work on rubber extraction.

Bolivia lacked a military presence or its own settlers in the region, causing a huge influx of Brazilians that dominated the territory. Those Brazilians resented Bolivian attempts to tax or regulate them, and on three occasions rose up against Bolivia to establish an independent state and seek annexation into Brazil.

This caused a huge diplomatic incident between the countries that was resolved in 1903, with Bolivia agreeing to transfer the territory to Brazil in exchange for infrastructure works, financial compensation and access to the Amazon River to reach the Atlantic. A few years later Brazil reached an agreement with Peru for recognition of Brazilian sovereignty in Acre and the delimitation of borders between the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazons.

Khan al-Omdan in ancient Acre A large merchant's khan near the port, which was used for international trade. Merchants who arrived at the port unloaded their goods in the Khan's warehouses on the first floor and stayed in the rooms on the second floor which formed a unique hotel.

The Khan was built at the end of the 18th century by Ahmed al-Jazar, and it rests on a row of granite columns brought from sites in the area.

Malcolm & Marie (2021, Sam Levinson)

08/03/2024

Malcolm & Marie is a 2021 film written and directed by Sam Levinson.

It was the first film to be completed after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the preview screening of his latest film as director, Malcolm returns home with his girlfriend Marie; here the two begin to reveal facts to each other that will put their relationship to the test.

The film was shot in secret in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic between June 17 and July 2, 2020 in California, within a single thirty-three-acre property with the approval of the Writers Guild of America, Directors Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild unions.

The black and white film was shot on 35 millimeter film.

The first trailer of the film was released on January 8, 2021.

The film was distributed starting from February 5, 2021 on the Netflix platform, which purchased the rights to the film for thirty million dollars.

On the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes the film receives 57% of positive professional reviews with an average rating of 6.3 out of 10 based based on 245 critics, while on Metacritic it obtains a score of 53 out of 100 based on 42 criticisms.

Charles Bramesco of Little White Lies gave the film a score of 1 out of 5, calling it a "clumsy, horribly over-the-top talkathon"; David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave it a C+; Empire touts the film as a "great sentimental drama"; for BBC.com "Levinson recalls many dramas about bad relationships, such as Scenes from a Marriage, Story of a Marriage and above all Who's Afraid of Virgilia Woolf?, giving a restyling to the genre thanks to the great performances, going as far as including new themes such as racism and Hollywood."

hey flippy!! can you give some tips on how to deal with unfortunate letter matchups like v/v or c/c?

this is where the magic grays sadly

c/c, because of c only really having one form, has one semi-okay glyph, and it's this:

in here, its just a circle with two slits cut out of it to play the c's opening. they're usually offset like this because putting the slits on the same level at the center just looks like a weird symbol. here's an example of c/c in use:

where the intended reading of the c is in red. this gap on the bottom may cause some reading problems, so some prefer to "occlude" this gap with a flourish or line, as seen here:

where the starting stroke of the r fills the gap of the c at the bottom. a hitch may also be added at the top lip of the c/c for aesthetic effect and cursive recognizability, but would impact the style for the rest of the ambigram.

v/v is rough. there are two main ways to do this. but they work best as multi-letter glyphs.

this one puts the V at the start of the glyph, leaving a flourish at the end. this flourish is ideally used as the stroke for another letter, but if done well can be left as a flourish. most possible misread would be a lowercase N. here's an example of this in use:

where the other extra stroke of the V serves as the spine for the E. the second one is where the V is put at the end, and looks like this:

this one is worse because the N misread is much stronger now, but again would work with the extra stroke as a flourish or as a stroke to another letter. here's an example of this in use:
