>Workers in plants run by the largest U.S. poultry producers are regularly being denied bathroom breaks and as a result some are reduced to wearing diapers while working on the processing line, Oxfam America said in a report Wednesday.
>The report cited unnamed workers from Tyson Foods Inc., Pilgrim’s Pride Corp., Perdue Farms Inc. and Sanderson Farms Inc. who said that supervisors mock them, ignore...

There are thousands of people in downturn Rust Belt towns whose local factory just moved away who would gladly take those diaper wearing chicken jobs.

>As consumers turn to ad blockers to avoid advertising on their mobile and computer screens, marketers and content providers who depend on pitches to pay the bills are searching frantically for ways to counter the pesky programs. BlockIQ offers them one.
>BlockIQ, owned by AdSupply, which recently merged with Adaptive Medias, has launched BlockBypass. The software can detect users of the popular ad blocker AdBlock and perform a number of countermeasures, including...

> Cat-and-Mouse Game
>Eyeo, maker of the most widely used ad blocker, Adblock Plus, has been taking payments for years from companies, including Google and Microsoft, to allow some of their ads through its filters, according to the Financial Times.
>Since 2011, Adblock Plus has something it calls the "Acceptable Ads" initiative. Advertisers and publishers who participate in the program can get their advertising whitelisted in the ad blocker if they agree to create ads that meet certain user-generated criteria. However, users have the option to block those ads, too, if they so desire.
>Ben Williams, operations and communications manager for Eyeo, has never encountered an ad blocker that accepts payments for whitelisting ads regardless of their properties, he said.
>"That's obviously unacceptable," he told TechNewsWorld. "Our Acceptable Ads initiative clearly states the opposite: upholding our criteria is absolutely mandatory and users can always opt out."
>BlockIQ is joining a list of companies that have chosen to fight against users in a cat-and-mouse game, Williams added.
>"It's an old game, and we're quite happy that we have always been on the side of users," he said. "Some of the options they offer publishers are tame -- the welcome message, for instance -- but others are blatant antiuser tech, like attempting to reinsert ads where users have chosen to block them."
> Better Ads Needed
>Products like BlockIQ have their place in a marketer's toolkit, but they shouldn't be the focus of a marketer's anti-ad-blocker efforts, maintained Gavin Mann, global broadcast industry lead for Accenture.
>"Trying to slow them down and frustrate them is a good thing to do but shouldn't be the top focus," he told TechNewsWorld.

"Environmental officials are celebrating the completion of a nearly 2-mile-long, 80-foot-wide earthen berm designed to keep Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes."
That's right, racist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service start building a wall to prevent "Asian carp could disrupt food chains and out-compete native fish." Everyone know Asians work for less wages than native fish. Where's you protest now?

We will make the fish pat for the wall with the long term saving. Its like buying energy efficient light bulbs which over time will save you cost on electricity so technically the power company pays you. Quote:
{“This is a great example of how a smaller investment up front can save a whole lot of money and heartache after the fact, after damage could have been created,” Cameron Davis, who coordinates Great Lakes policy for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, told the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.}

This is a 20 min long Frontline documentary on Benghazi and a militia fighting the IS Group there. As of the video the IS Group controls a number of neighborhoods in Benghazi and about 200 km of coastline around Sirte and has about 6000 fighters. The group is losing territory painfully slowly as government and non-government forces lack coordination, arms, and work at cross purposes. Politicians on both sides come off as narcissistic and needy, but Libyans seem resilient and optimistic in the long term. The head...

Good. I'm so sick of seeing ghosts walking down the street.
Good. Religion has no place in the modern world.
A belief that wasn't voluntarily formed (but rather formed through years of indoctrination when one was a child) is not the same as an opinion formed through rational thought, so it's OK for the government to restrict the former.
This is great

Kek, what was the line the NRA was saying after Sandy Hook? "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun"?
Is their new line gonna be: "The only way to stop a previously good guy with a gun who is now the bad guy with a gun is with another good guy with a gun assuming he doesn't also then become a bad guy with a gun"?

A video posted Thursday by VIDMAX.com shows a crowd of roughly 150 Portland State student and community activists rowdily protest the school’s armed campus police force — a raucous protest that largely condemned capitalism as racist and oppressive.
The protest and its die-in, the latter of which took place in the middle of the street and blocked traffic, was staged Tuesday, May 10. The action was organized by “Disarm PSU” — a group still furious over a 2-year-old decision by the board of trustees to create an...

As for university leaders, they have thoroughly explained the rationale behind their decision.
“Portland State is an urban campus that blends with the surrounding city gives us unique challenges,” officials say on the university website. “The campus community needs to know that, on occasion, dangerous offenders who are not affiliated with the university come on campus and commit crimes.”
Aside from being able to use guns, campus police officers also “issue citations, investigate sexual assaults, apply for search warrants, impose mental health holds and...
