Lacher des Tages:

Amazon named its labyrinthine Prime cancellation process after Homers Iliad
Die FTC ist gerade ein bisschen ungehalten, weil es so viel einfacher ist, ein Prime-Abo abzuschlieen, als es dann zu kndigen. Die Ilias ist Homers Werk ber den Trojanischen Krieg. Es besteht aus 24 Bchern.

Ich htte das Kndigungssystem ja eher nach der Odyssee benannt. Bei der Ilias geht es ja noch voran. Bei der Odyssee irrt Odysseus sinnlos durch die Gegend.

Lawrence Lessig hat eine tolle Idee zu Big Data im Gesundheitswesen. Anonymisierung kriegen wir nicht hin, wieso also nicht einfach Deanonymisierung kriminalisieren?!

Wartet, geht noch weiter. Er pullt einen De Maiziere!

Dann komme immer irgendein "Geek, der sagt, er finde immer einen Weg zum Reverse Engineering".
Ja aber echt mal. Die Schei Geeks immer, die unsere "anonymisierten" Daten deanonymisieren!!1!

Aber keine Sorge. Lessig ist Jurist. Der wei, wie man mit Leuten umgeht, die Naturgesetze fr wichtiger halten als Gesetze von Juristen!

Die Antwort auf die bisher nicht umsetzbaren Anonymisierung besteht seiner Ansicht nach darin, Geschftsmodelle zu kriminalisieren, die mit Reverse Engineering Daten deanonymisieren.
Jawoll ja! Einfach alle in den Knast werfen. Wenn wir hier oben in vlliger Unkenntnis der Sachzusammenhnge und Faktenlage Gesetze machen, dann habt ihr da unten euch geflligst an unser virtuelles Weltbild zu halten, nicht an Fakten oder Messungen.

Warte. Ein Money Quote kommt noch.

Flugzeuge wrden auch starten und abstrzen, das passiere, und trotzdem wrden weiter Flugzeuge starten.
Was der gute Herr Lessig wohl sagt, wenn ihm jemand erklrt, dass Flugzeuge mit Fakten und Naturgesetzen im Kopf gebaut werden, und deshalb selten abstrzen? Dass sie viel hufiger abstrzen wrden, wenn sie nach Meinungen von Juristen entworfen wrden?

Im Moment versucht ja die ganze Welt, sich einen Reim ... "IndyWatch Feed Europe"

Im Moment versucht ja die ganze Welt, sich einen Reim auf "KI" zu machen. Dabei kommen teilweise durchaus interessante berlegungen raus. Hier zum Beispiel, im Economist.

Prmisse: KI ist ein "Shoggoth" (Tentakelmonster aus dem HP-Lovecraft-Universum). Fremdartig und unverstndlich.

Lovecrafts shoggoths were artificial servants that rebelled against their creators.

Gedankengang:

But what such worries fail to acknowledge is that weve lived among shoggoths for centuries, tending to them as though they were our masters. We call them the market system, bureaucracy and even electoral democracy. The true Singularity began at least two centuries ago with the industrial revolution, when human society was transformed by vast inhuman forces. Markets and bureaucracies seem familiar, but they are actually enormous, impersonal distributed systems of information-processing that transmute the seething chaos of our collective knowledge into useful simplifications.
Und dann, weiter unten, das folgende Money Quote:
It is in this sense that LLMs are shoggoths. Like markets and bureaucracies, they represent something vast and incomprehensible that would break our minds if we beheld its full immensity.
Dem mchte ich noch folgendes bekannte Lovecraft-Zitat hinzufgen:
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
Oh, nee, sorry, das war das falsche. Ich meinte das hier:
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Diese Titanic-U-Boot-Nummer gerade macht eine Menge Wellen.

Da ging die Meldung um, dass die ein altes Logitech-Gamepad fr die Steuerung verwenden. das finde ich OK, wrde ich auch so machen. Das ist wahrscheinlich das stabilste und haltbarste Teil im ganzen Boot. Auer die haben auch noch ein Nokia 6210 verbaut.

Nein. Wichtiger ist fr mich ein anderer Aspekt daran.

Man wei ja bei so Tech Bros und Milliardren nie, ob die uns dreist ins Gesicht lgen, oder ob die ihren eigenen Bullshit selbst glauben. Diese Frage knnen wir jetzt als beantwortet betrachten. Die glauben ihren eigenen Bullshit.

Einer der Insassen von diesem Selbstbau-U-Boot ist der Firmengrnder, so ein Disruptions-Fanboy, der fand, gesetzliche Regulierung und Sicherheitsstandards betrfen ihn nicht, weil einen sowas ja blo bei der kreativen Erfindungsarbeit aufhlt.

Da htte ich erstmal zynisch angenommen, dass der blo faselt und dann nicht selbst einsteigt. Aber er ist selbst eingestiegen.

Eine SSD mit SAP-Mitarbeiterdaten ist bei Ebay aufgetaucht. Die SSD kommt anscheinend aus einem Rechenzentrum der SAP.

Das ist hchst erstaunlich, muss ich euch sagen. Die SAP ist mir bislang als absolutes Compliance-Purgatorium aufgetreten. Selbst als externer Dienstleister muss man da durch "Schulungen" durch, dass man keine USB-Sticks rumliegen lsst, und immer alles verschlsselt wird.

Dass es bei denen also berhaupt unverschlsselte SSDs gibt, und dann auch noch mit Mitarbeiterdaten drauf, ist schonmal bemerkenswert. Dass die dann auch noch jemand aus dem Rechenzentrum einfach so raustragen kann, ist noch bemerkenswerter.

Schlimmer noch:

Dem Bericht zufolge sei das bereits der fnfte Vorfall innerhalb von zwei Jahren, bei dem Festplatten aus SAPs europischen Rechenzentren verloren gingen.
Man wrde denken, dass die nach dem 1. Vorfall mal ihre Prozesse berprfen. Aber offenbar nicht.

Es ist wirklich unangenehm, wenn Ideologen es in die Regierung schaffen. Die treffen Entscheidungen nicht aus inhaltlichen Grnden sondern rein aus Ideologie. Da leiden am Ende alle drunter.

Wie? Nein, nicht die Grnen. Die CDU!

Was meine ich mit Ideologie? Das hier. "Wenn auch nur ein Auto-Parkplatz wegfllt, kommt da kein Fahrradweg hin. Und dann lgen sie uns noch ins Gesicht, dass ja keine Fahrradwege abgebrochen werden, die der Schulwegsicherheit dienen. Was offensichtlich alle wren.

Und so ist es halt, wie es immer ist. Wer CDU whlt, kriegt CDU-Politik. Und irgendwann werden sie feststellen, dass man Autos nicht essen kann.

Update: Nein, nein, die CDU ist da vllig falsch verstanden worden!1!!

Neue Radwege, die bereits im Bau oder fertiggestellt sind, sollen nicht noch einmal berprft werden.
Da knnen wir drei Kreuze machen. Zuzutrauen wre es ihnen gewesen.

Oh, und auch das mit den Parkpltzen war gar nicht so schlimm!!1!

Schon bekannt war, dass Radwege, denen nicht mehr als zehn Parkpltze pro 500 Meter wegfallen oder den PNV und den Wirtschaftsverkehr nicht beeintrchtigen weiter vorangetrieben werden knnen.

[$] Removing the kthread freezer "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

The final day of the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit featured three separate sessions led by Luis Chamberlain (he also led a plenary on day two); the first of those was a filesystem session on the status of the kthread-freezer-removal effort. The kthread freezer is meant to help filesystems freeze their state in order to suspend or hibernate the system, but since at least 2015, the freezer has been targeted for removal. Things did not change much a year later, nor by LSFMM in 2018 when Chamberlain had picked up Jiri Kosina's removal effort; this year, Chamberlain was back to try to push things along.

LAGOS JUNE 23RD (URHOBOTODAY)-Senator Ned Nwoko has revealed that the late British businessman Captain Hermish Harding invited him to the Titan adventure to the Titanic debris underwater.

Harding died with four others inside a submersible that imploded in the North Atlantic Ocean while en route to view the wreck of the Titanic on June 18, 2023.

Nwoko, husband of actress Regina Daniels, paid tributes to Harding in his Instagram post on Friday after the latters death was confirmed.

He shared photos of himself and the late pilot when they both embarked on an expedition to Antarctica, adding that Harding loved adventure.

La memoria colectiva confronta las narrativas oficiales "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

Las transformaciones sociales y polticas que vive el pas obligan a profundizar en el estudio histrico de la memoria nacional, como una visin nica construida por el Estado, frente a una memoria colectiva que surge para confrontar y disputar las narrativas oficiales, consider Guillermo Hurtado Prez, del Instituto de Investigaciones Filosficas de la UNAM.

Al participar en el Conversatorio Aproximaciones a la Cultura, en el marco del Primer Encuentro de Seminarios Universitarios, Una Visin hacia el Futuro, el especialista destac que la memoria nacional siempre es conflictiva y siempre supone discrepancias que pueden llegar a ser incluso un campo de violencias.

La memoria nacional no siempre es producto del Estado. En un pas como Mxico es posible construir memoria colectiva, construir memoria nacional por fuera del Estado, incluso en contra de l y un ejemplo muy representativo es el antimonumento que se construy en memoria de los 43 estudiantes desaparecidos de Ayotzinapa.

El universitario puntualiz que una manera de estudiar la memoria nacional es dejar a un lado la interpretacin que se ofrece por medio de los discursos, los desfiles oficiales o los monumentos; se requiere impulsar una investigacin multidisciplinaria que involucre diversas dimensiones de la cultura, las letras, la filosofa, la esttica, la arquitectura, la urbanstica tal y como se viene realizando en el Seminario de Investigacin sobre Historia y Memoria Nacionales, de la UNAM.

Agreg que an hay muchos aspectos que desentraar sobre la memoria nacional, pero tambin hay otro nivel en el estudio de la memoria colectiva en donde lo ms importante es entender qu hay detrs de esa memoria, quines estn construyendo esa narrativa, en que incluso ya est planteando un anlisis especfico sobre una memoria de la poltica.

El campo de la poltica es un espacio del conflicto, es un campo de la pluralidad, as es la memoria; eso es lo interesante de ella, cada quien tiene un recuerdo diferente de los acontecimientos.

Durante su ponencia, Cultura y Memoria Histrica, Hurtado Prez, subray que la memoria nacional resulta fundamental para determinar la identidad de alguien ya sea en lo individual o en lo colectivo, para ello es importante estudiar la memoria de las colectividades con un sentido coherente y con herramientas que sean objetivas y aceptadas por todos.

Gnero y resistencia

Por su parte, la poeta y ensayista Sandra Lorenzano, investigadora del Seminario Universitario de la Modernidad de la UNAM, durante su ponencia titulada CulturaGnero y Resistencia propuso llevar su reflexin hacia el mbito de la resistencia y de las disidencias.

What's a Small Way You Can Improve the Place You Live RIGHT Now? "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

 

Just last week, Strong Towns Staff Writer Ben Abramson praised the sincerity, tact, and thoughtfulness that epitomize the comments underneath our articles. At his previous jobs, browsing comments would be done with extreme caution, when not avoided entirely. Instead, I enter the comment stream to find intelligent, articulate commentary on the subject at hand, many from informed professionals and advocates with direct experience on the topic, Abramson said of Strong Towns comments.

As a team, we often find ourselves equally impressed by how our followers engage on social media. In fact, we recently asked our Facebook feed, Look around you. Whats a small way you can improve the place you live RIGHT now?

We were amazed by the creativity and ambition Strong Towns advocates showcased that we wanted to highlight a handful of replies to inspire our readers.

      • Lemongrass

        A sauce made from lemongrass leaves, ginger root, and a frozen chive flower, all crushed together, then covered with warmed sesame seed oil was pretty good. It probably needed either more lemongrass or an actual shallot, or maybe not to pre-heat the oil so the ginger would be sharper.

        Probably lemongrass makes for a good tea (or herbal infusion or vegetable soup, if you prefer) unless youre allergic or otherwise cannot partake. It is probably not a morning tea.

        Somehow I find this LitRPG-but-its-about-sports-simulation weirdly compelling. Sort of in the same neighborhood as Jon Bois 17776/20020, but not at all the same genre or writing style. Maybe I just have a thing for sports fiction despite not being into sports IRL.

        Its not perfect; the MC is written as being clumsy about stuff like gender and race and it seems like thats on purpose, and yet he still manages to seduce every beautiful woman he encounters because this is a litRPG. Despite that flaw I still find the story engaging.

"Those Who Will Hear Will Hear, and Those Who Will Not Hear Will be Informed by Other Means. So It has Always Been." "IndyWatch Feed World"

 God Poet Transmitting.......


The Navy knew those people on The Fisher-Price submarine were dead a couple of hours after they went down to the sediment of The World's biggest bathtub. One of The World's biggest egotists of all time, James Cameron; also known as The King of The World... who spends all his time underwater; he knew they were dead too... or at least he wants us to know this, which is why he went out of his way to brag about it after the fact.


Why... was The World not informed at the time? A major shitstorm of media hysteria ensued... taking up most of a week... toying with public emotions over the hope that there was hope. Ah! I see. It was a distraction from The Hunter Biden Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free scam. You can expect more and more of this sort of thing now that Mr. Apocalypse and Lady Awakening have been given the power to wake up the populations by... any... means... necessary.


Yes... the force of awakening has just been increased many-fold. This is one of the reasons that Pride went belly up this year. It is why the Communist insurgency is being confronted on the grass-roots level. It is why middle school children are rebelling against the sexual programming.


I need to ask the reader a question. Feel free to take a few moments to reflect on the matter before ignoring it altogether. (grin) If there is an ever-rising number of real genders... how come you can only be changed from a man into a simulated woman... or from a woman to a simulated man? Shouldn't you be able to change into any of these other genders as well? Does this verify that it's all mental illness? Yes... we already knew that.


Boy! Am I glad I don't live in Michigan. Fascist Girl... Ice Queen Whitmer... the present governor and high priestess of election fraud, and present incarnation of Elizabeth Bathory... now wants to put you in jail for hurting the feelings of the protected classes of the mentally ill. Absurdity piles upon absurdity. Sooner or later some larger breaking point is reached. Sooner or later large numbers of crazy people are going to be acting out in public places. Oops! Right... that's already going on. Sorry.


Sooner or later something even worse is going to happen. That's what I meant to say. The good news... if you don't live there... is that this will mostly be happening in the coastal states, except on The E...

Niega el Estado responsabilidad en desaparicin de zapatista "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

Antonio Gonzlez Mndez desapareci el 18 de enero de 1999 tras reunirse con un integrante de un grupo paramilitar. Es el primer caso que llega a la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos por violaciones cometidas en el marco de las acciones de contrainsurgencia de la Sedena en Chiapas

A 24 aos de la desaparicin de Antonio Gonzlez Mndez, miembro de las bases civiles de apoyo del Ejrcito Zapatista de Liberacin Nacional (EZLN), su esposa Sonia Lpez Jurez mantiene que el Estado mexicano es responsable del hecho por ocurrir en un contexto de contrainsurgencia en Chiapas, pero los representantes gubernamentales se niegan a reconocerlo, como se evidenci este mircoles ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Corte IDH).

Se trata del primer caso que llega a esta instancia internacional por violaciones cometidas en el marco de la poltica de contrainsurgencia emprendida por la Secretara de la Defensa Nacional (Sedena) tras el levantamiento zapatista de enero de 1994.

Aunque el Estado no niega la existencia de grupos paramilitares, rechaza que el caso de Gonzlez Mndez sea catalogado como una desaparicin forzada, con el argumento de que no hay indicios claros que permitan suponer que el delito se cometi con la participacin o permisividad del Estado.

Me siento enferma, preocupada, por mis hijos, cmo los voy a sostener, a alimentar. Estoy cansada, ya no quiero trabajar, me duele la cabeza, mi corazn y mi cuerpo, siento que no tengo fuerza, dijo Lpez Jurez en la audiencia virtual ante el tribunal perteneciente a la Organizacin de los Estados Americanos, que se realiz para determinar si el Estado mexicano es responsable por la violacin de los derechos a la integridad personal, a la proteccin y las garantas judiciales, y a la obligacin de no practicar la desaparicin forzada.

Gonzlez Mndez tena 32 aos cuando fue desaparecido el 18 de enero de 1999 en la comunidad El Calvario, municipio de Sabanilla, al norte de Chiapas. Perteneciente a la etnia chol y militante del Partido de la Revolucin Democrtica, atenda una tienda cooperativa llamada Arroyo Fro, vinculada a simpatizantes del EZLN.

El da de su desaparicin estaba con un joven de 17 aos, llamado Juan Regino Lpez, a quien iba a comprarle un arma. Gonzlez Mndez le dijo a su esposa, con quien tiene cuatro hijos, que regresara a su casa cerca de la una de la maana, pidindole que lo esperara despierta para que le abriera la puerta, pero nunca volvi.

De acuerdo con el Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolom de las Casas (Frayba), que acompaa a la familia del zapatista en su bsqueda de justicia, centrada en la localizacin de Gonzlez Mndez y en el castigo de los responsables, Lpez perteneca al grupo paramilitar Desarrollo, Paz y Justicia, conocido en la regin como Paz y Justicia, cercano al Partido Revolucionario Institucional.

Qu necesita Mxico para proteger a las mujeres solicitantes de asilo? "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

*Abogada de asilo, Instituto para las Mujeres en la Migracin, AC (IMUMI)

Twitter. @IMUMIDF

Hace unos das se conmemor el Da Mundial de las Personas Refugiadas, dndonos la oportunidad de volver a poner en la conversacin la urgencia de que el gobierno mexicano establezca procesos de asilo diferenciados para las mujeres sobrevivientes de violencia de gnero, as como polticas pblicas y programas para protegerlas durante su proceso y cuando son reconocidas como refugiadas.

Aunque Mxico reconoce la violencia de gnero como un motivo para solicitar y recibir asilo, de acuerdo con la Ley sobre Refugiados, Proteccin Complementaria y Asilo Poltico, las mujeres se enfrentan a un sistema desigual en la resolucin de sus solicitudes.

Los obstculos para estas mujeres son muchos: la Comisin Mexicana de Ayuda a Refugiados (COMAR) no busca identificar este tipo de casos, por lo que las mujeres no reciben un acompaamiento psicosocial y mdico, condiciones necesarias para un proceso que implica contar su historia una y otra vez; se enfrentan a funcionarios poco preparados que las revictimizan y juzgan, para despus argumentar que en sus pases de origen existen leyes y compromisos internacionales que sus gobiernos han firmado para prevenir y erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres, sin hacer una investigacin profunda sobre la deficiencia de esos mecanismos y los contextos de los que escapan. Si la violencia las alcanza en Mxico, es casi imposible acceder a la justicia, pues las autoridades no toman las denuncias bajo el argumento de que ellas son migrantes y no tienen un documento de estancia regular en el pas.

Adems, el proceso de asilo en Mxico implica permanecer en la entidad donde se inici el trmite, y cuando las mujeres son alcanzadas por sus persecutores o son vctimas de delitos y se ven obligadas a movilizarse por el pas, su proceso ante la COMAR se da por abandonado, sin que exista flexibilidad de la autoridad para reanudar el trmite en otro lugar, aunque la ley s lo prev. Al tiempo que se carece de espacios seguros en los que las mujeres puedan estar mientras esperan por una respuesta a su solicitud de asilo, lo que puede ser un factor determinante para que concluyan su proceso.

De acuerdo con la Comisin Mexicana de Ayuda a Refugiados (COMAR), desde hace ms de una dcada, 4 de cada 10 solicitudes de asilo en el pas son de mujeres, sin embargo, no se lleva una estadstica especfica para identificar cules de estos casos son sobre violencia de gnero. Mientras que 3 de cada 10 personas en los eventos de detencin migratoria son mujeres. Los principales pases de procedencia son Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Hait y Venezuela.

Pero vayamos un paso atrs. Aunque la migracin es multicausal, a menudo las mujeres salen de sus pases por causas relacionadas con la violencia de gnero, la persecucin y amenazas haca ellas o sus familias, l...

El mundo abandona Cisjordania a la violencia de los colonos "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

Foto: Sadeel Ghassan Turkman, de 15 aos, muerta el 21 de junio de 2023 despus de resultar herida en los ataques israeles durante el asedio a Jenin dos das antes.

Se cierra una semana ms de violencia e impunidad en Palestina. La pinza entre un ejrcito israel fuertemente armado, y colonos que han hecho de arrasar campos y barrios palestinos una prctica habitual deja a cinco palestinos muertos entre ellos una nia y decenas de casas y propiedades destrozadas por el fuego.

Mientras, una semana despus del que parece el segundo peor naufragio en el Mediterrneo con unas 750 vidas perdidas, Grecia y Frontex siguen sin asumir su responsabilidad ante el abandono del barco a su suerte. La inestabilidad poltica en Lbano, donde no se consigue elegir un presidente por duodcima vez, y la sensacin de impunidad que se expade en la regin cierran un panorama difcil para la ciudadana.

La violencia de los colonos invade Cisjordania

Helicpteros militares israeles abriendo fuego contra un campo de refugiados palestinos. La distopa contina. Los dirigentes israeles decidieron recurrir a este tipo de armamento areo en territorio ocupado por primera vez desde 2002. Mataron a cinco palestinos, uno de ellos menor de edad, e hirieron a 91. Ocurri el lunes en el campo de refugiados de Jenn, y los vecinos de la zona aseguran que los hechos les recordaron los das ms oscuros de la Segunda Intifada, tambin dos dcadas atrs.

Lo que ocurri hoy no es algo fcil de llevar para ninguno de los residentes de Jenin ni para nadie que haya perdido seres queridos [debido a la accin militar israel], contaba a la prensa Wafa Jarrar, residente del campo de refugiados de Jenn. Ella misma, veinte aos atrs, perdi a su primo durante unos ataques areos similares a los que tuvieron lugar el lunes. Esto nos trae recuerdos horribles, insista la mujer: no es nada fcil ni a nivel psicolgico ni emocional.

El helicptero Apache utilizado tanto en 2002 como durante esta semana ha sido descrito por expertos en la materia como un tanque volador. Tambin se dice de este modelo que es el helicptero ms letal que nunca se haya creado. EEUU lo export durante aos tanto a Israel como a otros regimenes violentos de la regin, incluyendo Egipto, Arabia Saud o Marruecos.

Panorama: Jujuy, litio y extractivismo de norte a sur "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

Foto: Cristian Cartier / Martn Longo / Tlam

A ms extractivismo, menos democracia, resume el sentir de territorios sacudidos por el modelo minero, petrolero, forestal y del agronegocio. As como Jujuy estall con movilizaciones y represin, otros pueblos son violentados cotidianamente y el progresismo y sectores de DDHH miran para otro lado. No hay grieta para el extractivismo y se impone con violencia.

Represin para extraer el litio de los territorios del pueblo kolla y atacama.

Violencia para explotar Vaca Muerta en territorio mapuche.

Judicializacin para desalojar y fumigar con agrotxicos a familias campesinas y poblaciones invadidas por el agronegocio.

Es el ADN del extractivismo: represin, violacin de derechos, contaminacin, falta de democracia real.

Los violentos hechos del gobierno de Jujuy son un captulo ms en cmo se impone el extractivismo sobre las comunidades indgenas y campesinos (aunque no solo en esos lugares). El poder econmico y poltico junto con sus aliados judiciales y mediticos intenta arrebatar los territorios indgenas para entregarlos a las empresas mineras, petroleras, forestales y del agronegocio.

Desde el peronismo gobernante se argumenta, intentando retener votos y aparatos estatales, que los hechos de Jujuy son un ensayo de los que ser un prximo gobierno de Juntos por el Cambio (ya sea con Larreta o con Bullrich). Desde los territorios sometidos al extractivismo, y desde los pueblos que sufren represiones cotidianas, se puede leer que Jujuy es un botn ms de muestra de lo que en distintas intensidades ya sucede en los territorios, tanto con gobiernos peronistas como con radicales.

Un reclamo antiguo ante odos siempre sordos

Desde hace ms de diez aos que las comunidades del Pueblo Kolla y Atacama denuncian (incluso con audiencia en la Corte Suprema) la vulneracin de derechos de la minera del litio en Jujuy y Salta.

Los pesares indgenas, y sus reclamos, son tan antiguos como la historia del continente. El pasado de Jujuy es abundante en luchas indgenas. Un hecho importante, no el primero, sucedi en 1946, durante el primer gobierno peronista, cuando un centenar de indgenas march caminando desde Jujuy hasta Plaza de Mayo en reclamo de territorios. El hecho, indito, qued en la historia como el Maln de la Paz. Fueron casi dos meses de caminata para gritar en Buenos Aires una deuda sile...

Crnica del despojo: Reserva de vida vs. Parking para carros "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

Vivir en San Francisco, California, es ambivalente. Por un lado, es una ciudad hermosa, nica en su tipo y habitada por muchas personas y colectivos que son crticos ante el sistema. Adems, es la casa de los grandes capitalistas, como Tesla, cercana a Sillicon Valley, y otros ms que orquestan el sistema econmico mundial. Vivir en esta ambigedad definitivamente genera muchas confrontaciones, tal como pasa con habitantes del Distrito de la Misin en San Francisco.

La gente an sigue padeciendo las consecuencias del encierro que se dict en la pandemia de Covid19, muchos salieron y siguieron la vida, pero otros al salir, comenzaron a recuperar los espacios que pudieran y as, ponerlos a disposicin de la colectividad. De los ms significativos estn los jardines comunitarios, de hecho, existe una Red en la que se suman sujetos que simple y sencillamente toman sus palas, azadones, tijeras y montn de semillas para comenzar con sus jardines. Ese es el inicio, porque inmediatamente comienza a necesitar de una colectividad y ah, todxs juntxs, se despliegan montn de actividades que dignifican sus vidas, como, por ejemplo, talleres de medicina tradicional, alimentacin, alfabetizacin, historia, arte, msica, etc. 

El problema es que, como les advert, ellos viven en un espacio ambivalente, ambiguo, y entonces se dan cuenta que aunque existen grandes esfuerzos por recuperar la vida digna, tambin est el mundo donde todo es una mercanca o se mercantiliza, todo tiene precio.

Algunos jardineros se vincularon con el Comit de Madres Latinas de la Misin e Integrarte SF una organizacin cultural de base del barrio, que en su conjunto se articularon para atender la urgente necesidad de crear espacios de sanacin y aprendizaje. Algunos jardineros se percataron de que la va estaba abandonada y comenzaron a llenarla de cajas y macetas de plantas, arbustos, flores y hierbas. Tambin colocaron una pequea mesa y sillas que utilizan para hacer la pltica. Esos insumos tan sencillos, son los ingredientes para generar un espacio de convivialidad, as que pronto llegaron los msicos, los jvenes, nios, mujeres a convivir.

En ese mismo callejn, estn dos empresas: una es un preescolar privado de nombre Mission Kids y una empresa de internet llamada Monkey Brains, ambas empresas quieren ese espacio de vida para los coches de sus clientes y trabajadores.

De quin es la tierra? La ciudad ha mencionado que no se ha podido ubicar a un dueo, y que no puede impedir que ese espacio sea utilizado como un estacionamiento privado. La Supervisora del Distrito de la Misin Hilary Ronen no ha hecho nada al respecto, por el contrario, apoya a los negocios ya que segn ella son negocios que proveen servicios necesarios en el ba...

Neocons Pushing for Nuclear War NOW! "IndyWatch Feed World"

 

 

The most notorious Washington Neocon, Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC), and his equal Neocon on the Democratic side, Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), have introduced a Resolution in the Senate in hopes of justifying World War III stating that if Russia, or one of its Proxy Belarus just as Ukraine is our Proxy, detonates a Tactical nuclear bomb inside Ukraine, or if something happens to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant causing radiation leakage, then they want to use nuclear weapons and are saying they will completely annihilate Russia. They are calling that an attack upon NATO claiming that radiation would spread to Europe,  triggering a full-blown nuclear war.

So, if Russia uses a small tactical nuclear weapon, then NATO and the USA are justified in obliterating Russia where the nuclear fallout would wipe out much of Europe and spread to China. So using their logic, China would then be justified in nuking the United States.

The whole problem here is to listen to their threats. They make it sound that the West can obliterate Russia and they are somehow powerless to retaliate taking out Washington, London, Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris, Rome, and of course, the cancer destroying the world Kyiv.

The Donbas was supposed to have a free election. It has been occupied by Russians for hundreds of years. If China invaded Guam or the Philippines, the US would likewise claim they have an obligation to protect Americans living there.

Graham is just a vile man who is consumed with hate and his mission in life is to destroy Russia at any cost even if he destroys the future of Western Civilization.

Our government NO LONGER represents the people. It represents only the Neocon agenda. Our entire future and our way of life are to be destroyed all because they hate Russians and want to kill every last one of them. It is Ukraine invading the Donbas occupied by Russians for centuries not the other way around.

Meanwhile, that nuclear plant they claim if it leaks any radiation Graham wants to use that as the excuse to start World War III. Russia captured that early during the war. Obviously, they should now turn it off, and export the uranium back to Russia since that is now an excuse to start World War III.

Northumberland outlet corrects egregiously misleading article "IndyWatch Feed War"

The Hexham Courant a weekly newspaper serving Tynedale in Northumberland, in Northeast England upheld our complaint and corrected an egregiously biased and misleading article (Hexham holds eye-opening Israel/Palestine talk at centre, June 22).

Specifically, the article conflated opinions with facts, which is inconsistent with the Accuracy clause of the Editors Code, which states the Press, while free to editorialise and campaign, must distinguish clearly between comment, conjecture and fact.
The article began:

Mike Reed of Amnesty International took time out of his holiday in Northumberland to visit St Marys Centre on Saturday, June 17 and give a talk on the Israel/Palestine situation.

The conflict between the two Middle Eastern countries is one of the worlds most enduring and continues to spark debate across the planet.

The UK, among many other nations, doesnt recognise Palestine as a country, nor does it enjoy full membership at the UN.

Israeli Occupation: How Microsoft, IBM, Cisco and Dell Enable Surveillance and Control in Palestine "IndyWatch Feed World"

In September, Israel installed an AI-powered gun at a military checkpoint in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. Now, that same technology has been deployed at the entrance of the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem. Across occupied East Jerusalem, you can find surveillance cameras strategically placed on street corners. And throughout the West Bank, Palestinians encounters with Israeli soldiers often include not only violence but face-scanning apps designed to capture their personal data.

Technology has become integral to our modern lives, but for Palestinians, Big Tech has also become another way Israel enacts control.

Who Profits, an Israeli research center documenting the private sectors links to Israeli occupation, released a report in May on multinational tech companies role in facilitating Israels human rights violations. The impact of each company ranges, with some overseeing a major project while others provide equipment to a system already in place.

Who Profits wrote in its analysis:

Regardless of scale, the work of these companies bolsters the capacity of an already highly technological and data-oriented Israeli occupation economy and its capacity to dispossess, repress, control and subject Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line to pervasive surveillance. 

While countless Israeli and international companies are involved in the Israeli occupation, Who Profits highlighted four American tech corporations in its report: Microsoft, IBM, Cisco Systems, and Dell Technologies.

 

Big Techs role

According to Who Profits, multinational tech firm Microsoft one of the worlds largest IT companies has a long history of collaboration with the Israeli military and tech industry.

The Al Munaseq (the coordinator in Arabic) application runs on Microsoft Azure, the companys platform for cloud computing services. It was developed by Israels Ministry of Defense and is used to manage permits for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza when entering 1948-occupied Palestine or modern-day Israel. The app can access a permit holders phones IP address, camera, files, and location.

This Week in Security: nOAuth, MiniDLNA, and Ticket to Ride "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Theres a fun logic flaw in how multiple online services handle OAuth logins, that abuses Microsofts Azure Active Directory service to allow account takeovers. The problem is how a site handles the Sign In With Microsoft option, when theres an existing account under the same email address. This is an irritating problem for an end-user, when a site offers multiple sign-in options. Trying to remember which option was used to set up an account is a struggle, so many services automatically merge accounts.

The problem is that the Microsoft Azure authentication information includes an email address, but Microsoft hasnt done any verification that the account in question actually controls that address. And in fact, its trivial for the Azure admin to change that address at whim. So if the service accepts that email address as authoritative, and auto-merges the accounts, its a trivial account takeover. And its more than just a theoretical problem, as researchers at descope were able to demonstrate the attack, and have found multiple medium and large services that were vulnerable, as well as at least two authentication providers that themselves were vulnerable to this attack.

Microsoft has pushed updates to the Azure AD service to make the issue easier to avoid, though it seems that the unverified email field is still being sent on authentication transactions. There is a new flag, R...

Advanced Closed Loop (ACL) GEOTHERMAL ENERGY RECOVERY is Under Study in Japan "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

CLOSED LOOP HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM ~ The working fluid is circulated from the surface into the geothermal zone and back

MOECO and Chevron to Explore Advanced Closed Loop Geothermal Pilot in Hokkaido, Japan

>>> From the Press Release Published by Business Wire, June 21, 2023

TOKYO Chevron New Energies Japan GK (Chevron New Energies Japan), a subsidiary of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., and Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd (MOECO) today announced execution of definitive agreements to proceed with the pilot testing of advanced geothermal technology. Pursuant to these agreements, Chevron and MOECO will conduct pilot tests of a developing novel geothermal technology, specifically advanced closed loop (ACL) technology.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230621701615/en/

In September 2022, Chevron New Energies International Pte, Ltd. signed a joint collaboration agreement (JCA) with MOECO to further explore the technical and commercial feasibility of advanced geothermal energy development and other new energies technology. The agreements to conduct pilot testing by Chevron New Energies Japan and MOECO is the first project contemplated by the JCA.

ACL technology involves sub surface heat exchange through conduction by circulating a working fluid from the surface through a loop of underground wells to generate electricity (through surface facilities) by utilizing sub surface geothermal heat (sub surface radiator). It does not require direct extraction of hot water (brine) or steam from underground reservoirs, as is the case with conventional geothermal technology.

ACL is gaining momentum worldwide as a novel technology that has the potential to unlock geothermal energy globally in multiple locations, closer to load and customers, promoting geothermal development which can be a lower carbon energy solution and a reliable baseload.

The pilot test using this ACL technology is expected to be conducted in the Niseko region of Hokkaido, Japan, with the aim of derisking, scaling and commercializing geothermal power generation based on ACL technology with additional potential as a heat resource. MOECO and Chevron New Energies Japan will consider commercial applications based on learnings from this...

Future Toyota Vehicles Could Be Partially Designed By AI "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Artificial intelligence has possibly been the most popular term in 2023 so far many industries are starting to explore new problem-solving possibilities thanks to machine learning technologies. The automotive industry isnt lagging behind with many companies already using AI for different tasks within their research and development divisions. Toyota now announces it is starting to research AI-based car design thanks to its generative artificial intelligence technique developed by the Toyota Research Institute (TRI).

Dont worry your next Tacoma truck wont have a purely AI-designed exterior. Instead, Toyota wants to use the technology in the early design stages where different iterations of a certain project are needed for engineering considerations. Or, simply put, if the automaker decides to build a new large two-door coupe, it could ask AI to generate a number of early designs based on preset parameters. Such is the case with the rendering you see attached at the top of this article it has been created by artificial intelligence.

West Bank settlers rampage in Palestinian villages, killing 1 and injuring dozens "IndyWatch Feed World"

One Palestinian is dead and dozens injured after Jewish settlers went on fiery rampages in several West Bank villages, with Israeli security forces reportedly siding with the assailants and thwarting Palestinian attempts to defend themselves and their property. The attacks were said to be acts of vengeance for the killing of four settlers by Palestinian gunmen. However, those gunman had already been shot to death shortly after they carried out their attack at a roadside restaurant near the Eli settlement. That incident, in turn, followed major Israeli military attacks on the Jenin refugee camp that have killed at least seven including two children. In an escalation not seen in the occupied West Bank since 2006, Israel used helicopter gunships, followed by a drone strike that killed three on Wednesday.

Video shows Florida deputy swept underwater, appears 100 feet away during flood rescue "IndyWatch Feed World"

A Florida deputy is "lucky to be alive" after being sucked into a drainage pipe and swept underwater for about 30 seconds after trying to help a stranded driver who was stuck in the flood, authorities said. Escambia County has experienced severe weather and heavy rain over the past few days, and those weather conditions were at a peak Friday morning when deputy William Hollingsworth was on patrol, Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said in a statement on Facebook. At around 1:39 a.m. local time in Pensacola, Florida, Hollingsworth exited his patrol car and approached a man who was trapped in rising waters, Simmons said. When Hollingsworth got closer, he saw the man get swept underwater and quickly "rushed to his aid without regard for his own safety," Simmons said in the statement. As Hollingsworth attempted to rescue the man, both were sucked into a drainage pipe and swept underneath a roadway on Hwy 98.

Air pollution sensors found to store crucial biodiversity data "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

It seems a cache of biodiversity data was hiding in plain sight all along. In the midst of hazardous particulate matter trapped in the filters of two air quality monitoring systems in the U.K., scientists discovered DNA samples that they were able to extract to study and survey the biodiversity in the region. The two air pollution sensors, one in London and another in Auchencorth Moss in Scotland, unintentionally collected airborne DNA shed by plants and animals. Scientists in the U.K. and Canada analyzed the samples to identify more than 180 taxa of mammals, plants, birds and invertebrates. According to a study published by the team in the journal Current Biology, the detected species include animals such as badgers (Meles meles) and little owls (Athene noctua), trees such as ash (Fraxinus spp.) and linden (Tilia spp.), as well as pathogenic fungi like Septoriella. While the current findings are based on data collected only from two sensors, it signals the possible presence of a huge trove of biodiversity data around the world that could be extracted and studied. If demonstrated to be scalable, it could potentially be instrumental in making biodiversity surveys easier for scientists and researchers. Air pollution sensors collect data at very regular intervals, Joanne Littlefair, one of the authors of the study and a lecturer in biological sciences at Queen Mary University of London, told Mongabay in a video interview. Its potentially a huge untapped source of biodiversity information and sampling at a very fine temporal scale. SurveyingThis article was originally published on Mongabay

When the future looks back on the deplorable events of our time, this will be one of the photos "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Pose for the history books, ladies.

I think its useful for future generations to see that haters and bigots and morally reprehensible scumbuckets can look like quite ordinary people middle-aged soccer moms are entirely capable of deep ignorance and hatefulness. Its also the case that ordinary, respectable institutions can accommodate them, as the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia has done. That museum is hosting a Moms for Liberty event next week, betraying their own reason for existence.

Moms for Liberty lobbies for book bans and aims to dictate how history is taught, stripping it of any mention of slavery, racism, and LGBTQ people. The group got its start fighting mask mandates and the teaching of critical race theory. It spreads anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, falsely labels LGBTQ people as groomers, and led Floridas hateful campaign against LGBTQ teachers. It openly harasses transgender and nonbinary young people and their families, advocating new laws and policies to restrict their lives and freedoms.

The group claims an affinity with Americas founding, yet they have failed this test in historical symbolism. Revolutionary Philadelphia was at the forefront of scientific inquiry, education, publishing, medicine, and government all things that Moms for Liberty lobbies against.

In a scientific first, researchers have used machine learning-powered AI to design de novo enzymes never-before-existing proteins that accelerate biochemical reactions in living organisms. Enzymes drive a wide range of critical processes, from digestion to building muscle to breathing.

A team led by the University of Washingtons Institute for Protein Design, along with colleagues at UCLA and Chinas Xian Jiaotong University, used their AI engine to create new enzymes of a kind called luciferases. Luciferases as their name implies catalyze chemical reactions that emit light; theyre what give fireflies their flare.

What Its Like to Live in an Informational No Mans Land "IndyWatch Feed War"

BY DAVID THUNDER | THE FREEDOM BLOG | JUNE 17, 2023

One of the remarkable features of these Covid years is the amount of misleading and downright false information emitted by official sources, most notably public health authorities, government-appointed regulators, and mainstream media. A part of me hankers after the times when I could trust my government and media in a time of crisis. But if I am honest with myself, I have to admit that Id prefer to live uncomfortably in the truth than comfortably in a fantasy built for me by someone who does not have my best interests at heart.

As somone who turned on a daily basis to the website of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention for updates on the Covid outbreak in February and March 2020, I was especially shocked and disappointed by the abysmal failure of authoritative bodies to impartially report the evidence bearing on masking, vaccinations, lockdowns, PCR testing, and other aspects of pandemic policy. My whole faith in the political, media, and scientific establishment, limited as it was, was shaken to the core.

We have been betrayed by the people charged with sharing the best available data and information with us in a time of crisis. We have been lied to and deceived about matters of life and death, such as the risk-benefit tradeoffs of the Covid vaccines, not only by the pharmaceutical industry, but by the people who occupy leading positions of public authority in our society.

Our politicians have sold us solutions to Covid that were far, far worse than the disease, and have generally refused to admit to their mistakes, even when they saw the comparative success of regimes like Sweden and Florida that went a very different direction.

Among the more egregious falsehoods that were either stated or implied by official authorities, and uncritically echoed by mainstream media, are the following:

  1. the notion that community masking was supported by strong scientific evidence. It never was (here is the latest Cochrane review of evidence for mask efficacy).
  2. the idea that it was critical that young and health people get vaccinated, if not for themselves, then for the sake of granny and granddad. This idea was empirically baseless, since we did not have any good evidence to show that these vaccines prevented transmission at the time these claims were made.
  3. the idea that toddlers and young children and teenagers with no serious health issues could benefit from receiving a Covid vaccine. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that children...

Cerebellar Excitability Regulates Physical Fatigue Perception "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Fatigue is the subjective sensation of weariness, increased sense of effort, or exhaustion and is pervasive in neurologic illnesses. Despite its prevalence, we have a limited understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying fatigue. The cerebellum, known for its role in motor control and learning, is also involved in perceptual processes. However, the role of the cerebellum in fatigue remains largely unexplored. We performed two experiments to examine whether cerebellar excitability is affected after a fatiguing task and its association with fatigue. Using a crossover design, we assessed cerebellar inhibition (CBI) and perception of fatigue in humans before and after fatigue and control tasks. Thirty-three participants (16 males, 17 females) performed five isometric pinch trials with their thumb and index finger at 80% maximum voluntary capacity (MVC) until failure (force 40% MVC; fatigue) or at 5% MVC for 30 s (control). We found that reduced CBI after the fatigue task correlated with a milder perception of fatigue. In a follow-up experiment, we investigated the behavioral consequences of reduced CBI after fatigue. We measured CBI, perception of fatigue, and performance during a ballistic goal-directed task before and after the same fatigue and control tasks. We replicated the observation that reduced CBI after the fatigue task correlated with a milder perception of fatigue and found that greater endpoint variability after the fatigue task correlated with reduced CBI. The proportional relation between cerebellar excitability and fatigue indicates a role of the cerebellum in the perception of fatigue, which might come at the expense of motor control.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms in neurologic, neuropsychiatric, and chronic illnesses. Despite its epidemiological importance, there is a limited understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying fatigue. In a series of experiments, we demonstrate that decreased cerebellar excitability relates to lesser physical fatigue perception and worse motor control. These results showcase the role of the cerebellum in fatigue regulation and suggest that fatigue-and performance-related processes might compete for cerebellar resources.

Polish-German dispute on the rise "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Uriel Araujo | June 23, 2023

German-Polish relations have been in a crisis, and the climate just keeps getting uglier, as exemplified by recent developments. For instance, Alice Weidel, spokesperson for Alternative for Germany (AfD), Germanys third-strongest political force today, called in a tweet the area of former East Germany a Central Germany thus implying that territories which today belong to Poland are German lands. This has sparked outrage: Polands former PM Beata Szydo, in response, said the AfD could in the future power over all of Germany, thus creating a dangerous scenario for Europe, because, she claims, it is a party whose leaders openly negate the existing borders. She added that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has recently demanded the abolition of the right of veto within the EU and asked: Should Europe go in this direction? Towards a German-dominated federation? This provocation from a German political figure takes place in the context of a rising Polish campaign against Berlin.

Meanwhile, two families of Polish WWII victims are suing German companies Bayer and Henschel for 4.3 million over the persecution of Polish businessmen during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Brzozowska-Pasieka, head of the War Compensation Foundation (Fundacja Odszkodowa Wojennych), the Polish organization which  represents the claimants, claims that these lawsuits are groundbreaking because they have been filed against private companies instead of the German state. Further claims on behalf of other families are being prepared. Commenting on the lawsuits, deputy culture minister Jarisaw Sellin, lent his support, saying that German companies which used forced laborers and actually participated in crimes during World War Two were never legally held accountable for what they did.

Considering that Polish officials back these initiatives, one must see them as also part of a larger trend and context. Last month I wrote on the legal campaign Warsaw has been launching against Berlin for wartime reparations. It is accompanied by harsh anti-German rhetoric, which often describes Germanys prominent role within the European Union as a Fourth Reich.

Polish discourse on the issue is not without its dose of hypocrisy: while criticizing Ukraine for celebrating genocidal Nazis, as recently as 2019, with Polish President Andrzej Dudas support, War......

Climate of fear persists among Nepals eco defenders as threats rise "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

KATHMANDU On Jan. 10, 2020, 24-year-old Dilip Mahato died after being stabbed multiple times and then run over with a truck. Mahato was an outspoken critic of illegal sand mining taking place in a river in Dhanusha district, in Nepals southern Madhesh province. According to investigators, Mahato had been trying to obstruct the mining when he was attacked. Reports said the miners had previously issued death threats against him. The incident drew widespread coverage and sent chills through the community of environmental human rights defenders across Nepal, who were already facing a host of challenges, including similar threats to their own lives and those of their families. In January 2020, 24-year-old Dilip Mahato, an outspoken critic of illegal sand mining, was killed when trying to obstruct the mining. Environmental human rights defenders, especially women, in Nepal continue to fear for their safety and lives. In the years since Mahatos death, little has changed, a new study shows. Published by the Informal Sector Service Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (INSEC), an NGO, the study says Nepalis working for the protection of the environment continue to feel unsafe due to lack of government security mechanisms. During the course of the study, it was found that discussions havent even begun to frame policies to protect people defending the environment, Prapoosa K.C., the lawyer who led the study, said at an event to share the findings.

Money talks in Paris

CLIMATE FINANCE: Dozens of world leaders met in Paris this week to discuss climate finance, green growth, the debt crisis and how to tap private sector sources of investment, BBC News reported. The overall ambition of the meeting was to give poorer countries access to hundreds of billions of dollars to tackle climate change, according to BBC News. The two-day summit was co-chaired by prime minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, and French president, Emmanuel Macron. 

FUNDS FOR 1.5C: Ahead of the summit, the climate change ministers of Australia, Canada and New Zealand in the Guardian called for an international financial system that can help the world stay as close as possible to 1.5C of warming. In a comment piece in Reuters, Dr Rachel Kyte, a climate policy expert, predicted that a challenge for the summit would be how to bolster investment in emerging markets and developing economies in a way that does not incur debt. Those gathering in Paris this week agree that the current system is no longer fit for purpose, Kyte wrote.

India Must Begin Paving the Way to Ending Coal "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

Coal supplied 162 EJ of energy and accounted for 27 percent of the global primary energy supply in 2019. After rebounding from the Covid related economic downturn, 10,200 TWh of electricity was generated from coal in 2022 and its share in global electricity production was 35 percent. Powered by gas-to-coal switching in Asia, global GHG emissions from coal increased to about 15.5 Gt CO2-eq , while the total energy-related GHG emissions reached an all-time high of 41.3 Gt CO2-eq.

In several developing countries such as South Africa, India, China, Indonesia and Vietnam, half to three-quarters of electricity is generated from coal. Despite the high reliance on coal in the countrys power supply, these countries have committed to net zero GHG emissions by 2050 or later, showing climate ambition. However, studies estimate that in order to comply with the IEAs net zero by 2050 scenario, emissions from the production of electricity must reduce to net zero globally by 2040 and by 2035 in advanced economies.

 

Evolution of the Just Energy Transition Partnership

The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) is a financial agreement between governments of developed countries and certain emerging economies. The JETP seeks to address the challenges of transitioning to low-carbon energy systems in countries of the Global South, while ensuring a just and fair transition for affected communities. It aims to achieve a cleaner energy future by transitioning away from fossil fuels, notably coal, and providing support for RE deployment, energy efficiency, and clean energy innovation.

The first long-term Just Energy Transition Partnership was formed on the sidelines of COP 26 in November 2021 by France, Germany, the United Kingdom, United States of America, and the European Union, with an aim to support South Africas Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In the first phase of financing, US$8.5 billion was committed for a five-year period, through grants, concessional loans, investments and risk sharing instruments. The funds were aimed at decarbonizing energy systems, accelerating coal plant retirement, increasing energy efficiency and renewable energy, electric vehicles, grid integration, energy storage, climate finance mapping and for developing tracking tools. The partnership acknowledged the impact of the clean energy transition on mining communities and recognised the importance of supporting affected workers, especially coal miners, women, and youth..........

But the declining quality of Google Search isnt merely a function of chatbot overload. For many years, Googles local business listings have been terrible. Anyone whos tried to find a handyman, a locksmith, an emergency tow, or other small businessperson has discovered that Google is worse than useless for this. Try to search for that locksmith on the corner that you pass every day? You wont find them but you will find a fake locksmith service that will dispatch an unqualified, fumble-fingered guy with a drill and a knockoff lock, who will drill out your lock, replace it with one made of bubblegum and spit, and charge you 400% the going rate (and then maybe come back to rob you):

ASUS Urges Customers to Patch Critical Router Vulnerabilities "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

ASUS urges customers to patch critical router vulnerabilities:

ASUS has released new firmware with cumulative security updates that address vulnerabilities in multiple router models, warning customers to immediately update their devices or restrict WAN access until they're secured.

As the company explains, the newly released firmware contains fixes for nine security flaws, including high and critical ones.

The most severe of them are tracked as CVE-2022-26376 and CVE-2018-1160. The first is a critical memory corruption weakness in the Asuswrt firmware for Asus routers that could let attackers trigger denial-of-services states or gain code execution.

The other critical patch is for an almost five-year-old CVE-2018-1160 bug caused by an out-of-bounds write Netatalk weakness that can also be exploited to gain arbitrary code execution on unpatched devices.

"Please note, if you choose not to install this new firmware version, we strongly recommend disabling services accessible from the WAN side to avoid potential unwanted intrusions. These services include remote access from WAN, port forwarding, DDNS, VPN server, DMZ, port trigger," ASUS warned in a security advisory published today.

"We strongly encourage you to periodically audit both your equipment and your security procedures, as this will ensure that you will be better protected."

The list of impacted devices includes the following models: GT6, GT-AXE16000, GT-AX11000 PRO, GT-AX6000, GT-AX11000, GS-AX5400, GS-AX3000, XT9, XT8, XT8 V2, RT-AX86U PRO, RT-AX86U, RT-AX86S, RT-AX82U, RT-AX58U, RT-AX3000, TUF-AX6000, and TUF-AX5400.

ASUS warned users of impacted routers to update them to the latest firmware as soon as possible, available via the support website, each product's page, or via links provided in today's advisory.

The company also recommends creating distinct passwords for the wireless network and router administration pages of at least eight characters (combining uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols) and avoiding using the same password for multiple devices or services.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has hit out against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US and meeting with President Joe Biden, calling on the Biden administration to label India as a "country of particular concern" over ongoing attacks on Muslims and other religious minorities.

Omar, who along with a handful of other lawmakers boycotted Modi's address to a joint session of Congress on late Thursday afternoon, instead opted to host her own policy briefing on Capitol Hill, where she brought together a number of Indian American rights activists and human rights experts.

"What's happening in India runs directly counter to our democratic values," she said during the policy briefing she held in the US Capitol visitor centre in Washington.

"We are told we must now turn a blind eye to the repression because of foreign policy concerns even though human rights are supposed to be at the centre of our foreign policy."

Prime Minister Modi, and by extension India, has come under heavy criticism from rights groups for his country's treatment of religious minorities.

Bangladeshs new red list of plants shows country has already lost seven species "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

DHAKA Bangladesh has over the last century lost seven plant species that once occurred in the country, and now risks losing at least another five, according to the first-ever comprehensive assessment of the countrys plant life. The new national red list identifies the species that have been extirpated as fita champa (Magnolia griffithii), ironweed tree (Memecylon ovatum), jiringa (Archidendron jiringa), kathphal (Myrica nagi), thurma jam (Syzygium thumri), Syzygium venustum and Drypetes venusta. While these are now considered extinct in Bangladesh, they still occur in other countries in the region. The list also categorizes five species of plants as being critically endangered, meaning that they risk disappearing unless urgent measures are taken to save them. They are bans pata (Podocarpus neriifolius), bulborox orchid (Bulbophyllum roxburghii), chaulmoogra (Hydnocarpus kurzii), khudi khejur or stemless date palm (Phoenix acaulis) and lamba trias orchid (Bulbophyllum oblongum). In addition, out of 1,000 assessed flora species, 127 are considered endangered, 262 are vulnerable, 69 are near-threatened, 271 are considered of least concern, and for the remaining 258 species theres insufficient data to assess their conservation status. Saleh Ahammad Khan, a professor of botany at Jahangirnagar University in Dhaka and one of the assessors of the red list, cited several factors behind the disappearance of the plants from the countrys ecology. These include changing climatic patterns, excessive and random consumption by humans, and inadequate protection measures. Climate change in particular threatens several species with extinction, while also providing the conditions allowing others to thrive in new environments,This article was originally published on Mongabay

Equipment used inside an abandoned factory to mine cryptocurrency in the city of Zliten was discovered by Libyan authorities (Attorney General Office)

Libyan authorities have arrested 50 Chinese nationals allegedly involved in an illegal cryptocurrency mining operation in the city of Zliten, the Libyan attorney general's office announced on Friday.

Those arrested were caught running a cryptocurrency mining farm inside an abandoned iron factory on Libya's western coast, the statement said.

The office of the attorney general, Siddiq Al-Sour, disclosed photos and videos showcasing the process of dismantling substantial mining systems discovered in Zliten, a city east of Tripoli province.

The mining systems included a matrix of wires connecting digital refrigerators.

These latest arrests were announced just after 10 other Chinese nationals were arrested in Misrata on Wednesday after being caught "red-handed" with dozens of powerful computers used to conduct complex mining calculations, which were seized, according to the attorney general's office.

The attorney general's office added that these acts "violate the law", as the alleged perpetrators use "high-energy devices [that] harness a large amount of material to mine cryptocurrencies".

The statement said that Libyan authorities were seeking the help of experts to assess "the damage to public money and public interest... as a resu...

Republican Finds Creative Way to Blame US Leadership for Submersible Implosion "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Prominent House Republican Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) knows exactly who is to blame for the implosion of a submersible that was on a deep-sea sightseeing trip in international waters far away from the US coast. Was it the company that built this rickety miniature U-boat? Oh no! It was clearly the fault of the Biden administration and possibly the White House itself.

What appears to be the case is epic failure in leadership, Crenshaw told reporters on Thursday. Where exactly that leadership failure is, I dont know. Is it the White House, Coast Guard, Navy? Im not sure.

His reason for laying the blame for this tragedy at the feet of the Biden administration and not, for example, the people who decided to take this risky trip, the engineers who designed the craft, or the company that operated it knowing it was a potential death trap, is simple: If only the US government had authorized the deployment of two pieces of specialist equipment, maybe things would have turned out to be fine.

It should be noted that Crenshaw is a former Navy SEAL and likely knows a lot more about this than your average person. And, as a Republican, he is also an expert in blaming the US government for everything.

When asked about his assessment on Fox News, he offered a more detailed explanation.

If you had just deployed those assets [immediately upon hearing about the crafts disappearance], they would have arrived on scene by Wednesday morning at the latest, Crenshaw said.

At that point, there were still reports of tapping noises coming from the bottom of the ocean.

That tapping continues to be heard and chatted about in all these channels throughout Wednesday. Then it stops late Wednesday, Crenshaw added. They finally deploy that 6K ROV, the only thing capable of actually going to that depth and seeing whats down there, this morning. It deploys down there and the wreckage was exactly where they thought it would be. So wheres the failure here? The failure is to not put all your options on the table.

It seems pretty ridiculous to point fingers at the US government for not doing enough to fix an issue that was the result of questionable decision-making at every other level. And, of course, this didnt happen in US waters...

Strawberry Chips "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

It is the Time of Strawberries again and I am spending several hours daily picking, sorting, and processing strawberries.

Charly, all rights reserved. Click for full size.

However, since we still did not eat half! of the various strawberry, figs, and other jams and marmalades that we made last year, I have decided to try and use the fruit dehumidifier on them.

Charly, all rights reserved. Click for full size.

I was worried a bit they will lose aroma and/or color, but neither happened. They are still bright red (that might still change over time) and very aromatic. Enclosed in jars they should hold for years in our cool dark cellar. And unlike marmalade which is way too sweet for me to eat regularly I can add them to my breakfast yogurt together with other dried fruits from our garden (prunes and apples) almost daily without adverse effects, so they should disappear over time hopefully quicker than the marmalade (which we cannot manage to give away, let alone eat). Even running 24/7 at 60C, the dehumidifier cannot manage to dry all strawberries that I gather daily and the smaller and unseemly fruits still have to go into marmalade, which thus will continue to accumulate. Next year I will plow over some of the strawberry patches, this is simply too much.

Blast it. I wish that more useful and edible foodstuffs grew here as well as strawberries and walnuts. I had no luck with sweet corn or red beets this year, most seeds did not even germinate. With garlic and onions, I had zero luck for several years too. And this years pole beans were partially destroyed by voles and partly by the too-harsh sun (although I still have enough plants to hope for a reasonable harvest), and my only apple tree appears to be dying from water vole damage. And those little fuckers ate all of my tulips as well, so I did not even have pretty flowers in the spring. I still had no luck in finding a remedy that works on these pests.

Can Cop Culture Ever Be Changed? "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

As the searing Department of Justice report on the Minneapolis Police Department and the George Floyd murder sparks renewed outrage, we find ourselves once again on the brink of another tension-filled summer and a national political campaign in which the urgent question of police reform will likely take center stage.

 

In this weeks WhoWhatWhy podcast, we talk with Neil Gross, an esteemed sociologist, a frequent contributor to The New York Times, and a former cop. 

 

Drawing on his experience and scholarship, Gross shares insights from his new book, Walk the Walk: How Three Police Chiefs Defied the Odds and Changed Cop Culture.

 

Gross takes us into the police departments of three different cities Stockton, CA; Longmont, CO; and LaGrange, GA where officials made the bold pledge to dismantle an entrenched culture of aggression and replace it with a model of policing that prioritizes equity, social responsibility, racial reconciliation, and the preservation of life.

 

Gross talks about the myriad challenges involved in such an ambitious overhaul, but also underscores the potential of these departments to ignite wider systemic change.

 

Gross says that he hopes his work will help launch a critical dialogue on the state of American policing, an open-minded conversation that not only deals with current reality but also presents a roadmap to a more just future.

Easy Modifications for Inexpensive Radios "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Over the past decade or so, amateur radio operators have benefited from an influx of inexpensive radios based around a much simpler design than what was typically commercially available, bringing the price of handheld dual-band or GMRS radios to around $20. This makes the hobby much more accessible, but they have generated some controversy as they tend to not perform as well and can generate spurious emissions and other RF interference that a higher quality radio might not create. But one major benefit besides cost is that theyre great for tinkering around, as their simplified design is excellent for modifying. This experimental firmware upgrade changes a lot about this Quansheng model.

With the obligatory warning out of the way that modifying a radio may violate various laws or regulations of some localities, it looks like this modified firmware really expands the capabilities of the radio. The chip that is the basis of the radio, the BK4819, has a frequency range of 18-660 MHz and 840-1300 MHz but not all of these frequencies will be allowed with a standard firmware in order to comply with various regulations. However, theres typically no technical reason that a radio cant operate on any arbitrary frequency within this range, so opening up the firmware can add a lot of functionality to a radio that might not otherwise be capable.

Following Yellens comments from Paris earlier in the day, President Biden himself tried to explain away his Tuesday night remarks describing Xi Jinping as a dictator. He addressed the issue which has infuriated Beijing during his joint press conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi:

President Biden said Thursday he didnt believe his description this week of Chinese leader Xi Jinping as a dictator had set back U.S. relations with China, after Beijing summoned the U.S. ambassador for an official reprimand following the presidents comments.

I expect to be meeting with President Xi sometime in the future, the near term, and I dont think its had any consequence, Biden said

Biden also had this to say when pressed by reporters

The idea of my choosing and avoiding saying what I think is the facts, with regard to the relationship with China, is just not something Im going to change very much, he said in response to a reporters question..

The president said he expects to meet with Xi sometime in the future, in the near term, and that the diplomatic fallout has not had any real consequence, referring to it as hysteria. 

But China disagrees, given that around the same time Biden was making the comments downplaying the dictator word choice, the Chinese government summoned the US ambassador in Beijing to issue a formal rebuke.

A Strong Towns Advocate Took Safety Into His Own Hands in Philadelphia "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

 

David Brindley is more concerned with what he can do than what he cant. After his friend was struck while cycling on one of Philadelphias busiest bike routes in 2015, he concluded inertia wasnt an option. He immediately began collecting orphaned cones, as he described them, and lining the 3700 block of Spruce Street in University City.

Prior to Brindleys guerrilla initiative, the corridors bike lane was defined by a single strip of faded white paint in some sections and nothing in others. Its invisibility in conjunction with the intersections wide shoulder has long tempted motorists to swerve into cyclists, pushing them into oncoming traffic or the deep grooves of the streets trolley tracks, notoriously unfriendly to bike tires

However faded and worn, there was technically a bike lane. Therefore, Brindley fundamentally saw his efforts as reinforcing the citys intentions, rather than contesting them.

Every other day, he gathered cones abandoned by municipal departments, as well as private companiesVerizon, Philadelphia Gas Works, Philadelphia Water, and so onto furnish his protective barrier. For a while, the motley crew of cones survived largely unquestioned. "I had no idea if it would be there the next day or not," he told The Philadelphia Inquirer in late 2016.

However, rather than dithering and ending up getting them a gift that they do not love or that you have not thought out properly, it can sometimes be the better option to simply ask them what type of gift they might like. By asking them about the kinds of gifts that they are interested in or if there is any product that they have their eyes on, you will be able to make their day and ensure that your gift does not go to waste. This will make sure that they love your gift and will show that you are thinking about gifts that will appeal directly to them. If you are uncertain about asking them, you might consider speaking to their partner or another friend about potential gift options.

Think About Their Interests

The problem really is that these scanners are assuming something that

reliable.

These debates are coming on a regular basis, usually either "should
this thing get a CVE?" and "is this a reasonable CVSS value /

Projects in Brazils Caatinga biome combine conservation and climate adaptation "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

From high up in the Serra das Almas Private Natural Heritage Reserve in Brazils Cear state, the forest spreads out beyond the horizon. Its April here in the municipality of Crates, some 400 kilometers (250 miles) inland from the state capital, Fortaleza, which means its the end of the rainy season. The trees here in this Brazilian hinterland known as the serto are still clad in green leaves and bright flowers. The reserve, spanning 6,285 hectares (15,530 acres), is part of the Caatinga scrub forest, whose springs are vital for the water security of the communities living nearby. Since Serra das Almas was established as a private natural heritage reserve, or RPPN, in September 2000, its landscape has been transformed from cropland and livestock pasture to lush vegetation. That recovery was accelerated by forest restoration, with native wildlife soon returning and resuming their natural dynamics. The reserve is home to a recorded 485 plant, 45 mammal, 45 reptile, 230 bird and 33 amphibian species. The mustached woodcreeper (Xiphocolaptes falcirostris), white-browed guan (Penelope jacucaca) and Cear leaftosser (Sclerurus cearensis) are among the birds found only in this part of the world. These species are also among those listed in Brazils National Action Plan for the Conservation of Caatinga Birds. Several wildcats are also native to the region: the puma (Puma concolor), ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) and jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi). The red-handed howler monkey (Alouatta ululata), an endangered species, has also reappeared in this area. A lajeiro, a rocky outcropThis article was originally published on Mongabay

Russian President Vladimir Putin is known for a lot of things his "in your face" speeches, his marathon unscripted press conferences and his stoic impassiveness in the face of adversity come to mind. One thing that doesn't jump out at the average observer is his earthy sense of humor. Long-time Putin watchers know that the Russian leader on occasion spices up his formal presentations with off-color quips which, unless one is well versed in colloquial Russian of the back-alley variety, can get missed by the casual listener. During the June 16 discussion period of the plenary session of the 2023 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the Russian leader was asked about his views on the potential use of nuclear weapons in the context of the ongoing Ukrainian conflict.

Here's how NATO trainers knowingly sent Ukrainian troops to their deaths in this month's counteroffensive against Russia "IndyWatch Feed World"

Ukraine sent one of its best brigades into combat earlier this month as part of its long-awaited counteroffensive aimed at retaking areas controlled by Russian forces. Leading the charge near the town of Orekhov, in Zaporozhye Region, was the 47th Mechanized Brigade, armed with NATO equipment and - most importantly - employing it using the US-led bloc's combined arms doctrine and tactics. Prior to the operation, this brigade spent months at a base in Germany learning "Western know-how" in combined-arms warfare. Helping them prepare for the fighting to come was KORA, the German-made NATO computer simulation system, designed to allow officers and non-commissioned officers to closely replicate battlefield conditions and, in doing so, better develop ideal courses of action against a designated enemy - in this case, Russia.

Chair of the Elders Mary Robinson, the first woman President of Ireland, left, and Ban Ki-moon, former UN Secretary-General, right, Deputy Chair of the Elders, speak during an interview in Tel Aviv, Israel, Thursday, June 22, 2023 (AP)
Former UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon and ex-head of the UN's refugee agency Mary Robinson in Tel Aviv, 22 June (AP)

There is "ever-growing evidence" that the situation in Israel and Palestine meets the legal definition of apartheid, warned former United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon and ex-head of the UN's refugee agency Mary Robinson following a trip to the countries.

The two senior figures made a three-day visit on behalf of the Elders, an organisation composed of former statespeople and human rights activists, during which they suggested Israel-Palestine was on course for a "one-state reality" as the prospect of two states becomes increasingly remote.

In a statement, the Elders said that Robinson and Ban heard "no detailed rebuttal of the evidence of apartheid" that was described to them by human rights groups, and said the behaviour of the Israeli government in the occupied West Bank showed "an intent to pursue permanent annexation rather than temporary occupation, based on Jewish supremacy".

I leave Israel and Palestine with a heavy heart. I have seen and heard compelling evidence of a one-state reality, with systemic impunity for violators of international law and human rights," said Ban, who is also deputy chair of the Elders.

"There is a lack of political vision and leadership in Israel and Palestine and among Israels allies, who continue to revert to a short-term approach."

The Smug Racist Republic versus Globalising Elite "IndyWatch Feed Politics.eu"

This is the third time I have felt compelled to respond to a speech or Opinion Piece by my friend Andy Pollak whom I hold in the highest regard despite disagreeing with him so fundamentally on several issues.

On the first occasion, I took issue with his assertion that The South is not ready for re-unification on the basis that it must become much more like Britain to satisfy unionist concerns, arguing that unionists wont vote for a united Ireland regardless what concessions are made by nationalism, short of Ireland re-joining the UK. That simply isnt going to happen.

On the second occasion, I took issue with his assertion that the southern media is almost entirely ignorant of the north and argued that southern people probably know as much about Derry as they know about Donegal, and more about the goings on (or lack of) in the Northern Ireland Assembly than they know about legislation currently passing through Seanad ireann.

And now Andy has weighed in on how the Refugee crisis reveals the racism in the smug republic which has led to accusations that he is simply venting his unionist bile against all things Irish.

It is beginning to feel as if I am man-marking him, but in fairness he raises important issues which require elucidation and discussion rather than abuse. And fair dues to Andy for having the courage to present his views on this forum where he is unlikely to get a sympathetic response. And indeed, the response has been extensive and often vituperative.

But I think that response has also been mistaken.

As so often in Northern Ireland, complex issues get dragged through a Green/Orange prism where many of the genuine issues are missed. So I responded as follows with a comment soon lost in the maelstrom of reaction, which I think needs to be considered further:

I think ascribing Andy Pollaks views to unionist hatred of Ireland is well wide of the mark. Andy hasnt lived in Dublin for decades because he hates the place. Im sure he would be even more critical of British immigration policies if that was the point of the OP.

There is a strain of liberal thinking which believes almost all state controls on freedom of movement are morally wrong. It is a form of belief in a laissez-faire global capitalism where everyone should have an equal opportunity of making a life wherever th...

Organ Transplant Patients Can Die When Donors Arent Screened for This Parasitic Disease "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as theyre published.

When a ringing phone woke Bob Naedele on his 64th birthday, the caller offered the best gift imaginable: Newark Beth Israel Medical Center had a heart for him. A heart attack had left Naedele, a former police detective, with grave cardiac damage, and he had spent the last 2 1/2 years on the transplant waiting list.

Naedeles family usually celebrated birthdays with dinner and a cake. But on that day in May of 2018, Bob and his wife of 43 years, Cheryl, instead started calling their children to let them know that they were heading to the hospital. The cake would have to wait.

He went into surgery and received his new heart shortly after midnight.

At first, Bob Naedeles recovery seemed to go well, according to his wife. He returned home after three weeks and initially had more energy than before. It seemed as though their longtime dream of traveling across the country in an RV to visit national parks might be within reach.

But nine weeks after his transplant, Naedele got a fever, and his hands began shaking with tremors. He returned to Newark Beth Israel. Doctors ran test after test but were unable to find the cause.

After he spent more than a month in the hospital, doctors discharged him, but he continued to decline. He fell, and I had to get my neighbors help to get him back to bed, Cheryl Naedele recalled. I had to put him in a wheelchair to get him to the bathroom. Bob Naedele deteriorated so quickly that his wife had to call for an ambulance. This time he went to Yale New Haven Hospital, which was closer to their home in Connecticut. By the next day, doctors in Yales intensive care unit found the culprit: The heart Naedele had received had been infected with a parasite that causes Chagas disease.

He was basically filled with parasites, recalled Dr. Tariq Ahmad, chief of heart failure at Yale cardiology. The organisms had multiplied in his heart and invaded his nervous system and brain.

For 12 long weeks, the doctors at Yale tri...

Saudi man welcomes Russian pilgrims

A Saudi Arabian citizen is hosting hundreds of Hajj pilgrims from Russia in his home for the third year in a row, according to a report by the country's state-run broadcaster Al-Ekhbariya.

Fahd al-Hamli will welcome up to 1,300 Russian pilgrims on his farm near Riyadh. 

He will receive the guests, present them with gifts and then introduce them to Saudi culture, the report said.  "We show them the Saudi culture by preparing coffee and dates," Hamli said.

He will also screen an introductory film about Hajj, translated into Russian.

In January, Saudi Arabia announced that there will be no limit on the number of pilgrims who can attend the Hajj in 2023, following three years of restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

BEST OF THE WEB: Why Pride lost the public "IndyWatch Feed World"

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably witnessed the backlash to Pride. There have been mass boycotts of Bud Light after the beer company partnered with trans woman and TikTok influencer, Dylan Mulvaney, sending her a custom can to celebrate her first year of "girlhood." Target was next to come under fire for its Pride display targeting children and their "tuck-friendly" bathing suits for women. This set the stage for the most divisive Pride month in some time. First, the boycotts. Then videos of angry parents at school boards went viral. Conservative radio hosts and commentators vowed to make Pride "toxic" to brands. But it's not just conservatives who are pushing back; according to a recent Gallup poll, even Democrats have seen a drop in the acceptance of same-sex relations. Which begs the question: what happened to Pride? After decades of progress for gay rights, growing acceptance of gay marriage and the normalization of same-sex relationships, Pride is...

crypto-investItalian authorities are reporting that officers of the Special Privacy Protection and Technological Fraud Unit of the Guardia di Finanza of Rome have carried out a new operation against pirate IPTV.

Acting on a decree issued by the Public Prosecutor at the Court of Milan, 12 Italian nationals and one person of Albanian origins, living in several regions of Italy and Germany, were targeted on suspicion of operating social media channels dedicated to pirate IPTV subscription sales/resales.

While the announcement itself offers no specifics in respect of the suspects locations, a police video published today contains a slide showing maps of Italy and Germany and various marked locations.

In Frankfurt, Germany, the operations were conducted against two Italian subjects, through international judicial cooperation channels coordinated by Eurojust with the collaboration of the State Police of Hesse Police Headquarters of Frankfurt through a European Investigation Order issued by the Judicial Authority of Milan, the announcement reads.

DID A VACCINE EXPERIMENT ON U.S. SOLDIERS CAUSE THE SPANISH FLU ? "IndyWatch Feed War"

The 1918-19 bacterial vaccine experiment may have killed 50-100 million people

By Kevin Barry, President | First Freedoms, Inc. | November 7, 2018

Part 1 of a 5 part series

The Spanish Flu killed an estimated 50-100 million people during a pandemic 1918-19. What if the story  we have been told about this pandemic isnt true? What if, instead, the killer infection was neither the flu nor Spanish in origin? Newly analyzed documents reveal that the Spanish Flu may have been a military vaccine experiment gone awry. In looking back on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, we need to delve deeper to solve this mystery.

Summary

  • The reason modern technology has not been able to pinpoint the killer influenza strain from this pandemic is because influenza was not the killer.
  • More soldiers died during WWI from disease than from bullets.
  • The pandemic was not flu. An estimated 95% (or higher) of the deaths were caused by bacterial pneumonia, not influenza/a...

Deaths at Sea: From the Titan to the Mediterranean "IndyWatch Feed War"

Mortality at sea is becoming a theme of late. The nature of how that mortality has been represented, however, has varied. The death of a billionaire on a quest to see the sunken ruins of the Titanic is treated with saturating interest; the deaths of those making their way across the Mediterranean to seek sanctuary receives a relative footnote of interest.

News has now emerged that the five occupants on the Titan submersible have perished, joining those other unfortunates already entombed in the watery ruins of the steamship that sank in April 1912 off the coast of Newfoundland. They include Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, the company funding the venture, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman, British businessman Hamish Harding and renowned explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet.

It was occasion enough to lead Hollywood film director James Cameron, himself a veteran of 33 dives to the vessel whose story he brought to the big screen in 1997, to make a few queries. On hearing of the subs disappearance, contacts in the deep submersible community were chased up. Within about an hour I had the following facts. They were on descent. They were at 3,500 metres, heading for the bottom at 3,800 metres.

The loss of both communications and navigation could only lead to one conclusion: an extreme catastrophic event or high, highly energetic catastrophic event. On June 22, an official in the US Navy revealed that an acoustic anomaly consistent with an implosion had been detected.

For almost a week, the coverage on the fate of the Titan remained unrelenting. Commentators with varying degrees of expertise were consulted over speculative minutiae and details. When would oxygen supplies run out? Were there banging sounds detected, suggesting signs of life? How would the Titan be retrieved?

None of this got away from the obvious point: the mission had been one of sheer folly and recklessness, a doomed reminder of humankinds overconfidence. The submersible lacked standard certification protocols. Notables in the deep submersible community had also expressed their concerns to OceanGate, warning of the dangerously experimental nature of the vehicle. In March 2018, a letter from three dozen individuals, including oceanographers, deep-sea explorers and industry leaders, stated that the current experimental approach adopted by Oceangate could result in negative outcomes (from minor to catastrophic) that would have serious consequences for everyone in the industry.

Within the company itself, the director of maritime operations, David Lochridg...

Powerful Water Pump Is Modular In Nature "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

If youve got one decently powerful DC motor, you could conceivably build a water pump. Gang up ten of them, however, and you could build something considerably more powerful, as [akashv44] demonstrates.

The design is straightforward, relying on simple impeller pumps driven by RS-775 DC motors. The pump housings and impellers are all 3D printed. Theyre designed so that the motor integrates neatly with the pump housing, and so that multiple pumps can easily be ganged up into a single larger unit. [akashv44] demonstrates a build using ten individual pump units with a large manifold, allowing the output of all the pumps to be combined into one single outlet.

The concept is straightforward enough, and running on a 48-volt power supply, its clear that the pump can move a significant amount of water. Notably, though, it would be possible to improve significantly with some design changes. Currently, the water path from the pumps must make several 90-degree turns, harming efficiency. Wed love to see the pumps angled nicely into more advanced manifolds which would more smoothly combine the streams together. This would likely result in a far greater...
