http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-11/poultry-workers-in-diapers-as-bathroom-breaks-denied-oxfam-says
>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 requests and threaten punishment or firing. When they can go, they wait in long lines even though they are given limited time, sometimes 10 minutes, according to the report.
>Some workers have urinated or defecated themselves while working because they can’t hold on any longer, the report said. Some workers “restrict intake of liquids and fluids to dangerous degrees,” Oxfam said.
>“We value our team members and treat them with respect,” according to an e-mailed statement from Tyson.

>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 circumventing the ad blocker.
>Websites can configure BlockBypass as aggressively as they wish. They can just educate a visitor about the harm of ad blockers to websites that depend on advertising to stay alive. They can refuse to serve content to a visitor until an ad blocker is disabled for the website. They also can choose a nuclear option and bypass the ad blocker altogether.
>"The incredible growth of ad blocking has reached the tipping point where sites will no longer be able to operate," BlockIQ CEO Justin Bunnell said.
>In the last 12 months alone, use of ad blockers has risen 41 percent globally, bringing the number of worldwide users to 198 million and costing publishers US$22 billion, according to PageFair's 2015 global ad-blocking report.
>"If ad blocking continues unchecked, it will eliminate the advertising revenue websites need to survive," Bunnell noted. "It is like expecting a movie theater to stay in business when 30 percent of their audience does not pay for a ticket."
...
> Online Extortion
>Marketers have criticized ad blockers not only for costing publishers revenue, but for squeezing money from advertisers, too.
>"Ad blockers are extortion," said John B. Strong, CEO of Adaptive Medias.
>"The big ad-blocking companies will whitelist an advertiser's ads if they pay a fee. If you don't pay them, they'll block your ads," he told TechNewsWorld.
>"We don't think that's a fair situation at all, and our technology defeats it," Strong added.
>Asked if it was ethical to bypass an ad blocker without notifying users, he answered: "The ethical question is, why should anyone assume they should be notified before they steal someone's content?"
> 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.
>"That's what the music industry tried to do when it tried to block piracy. In the meantime, it missed the opportunity to more rapidly create its own services that were more appealing to the consumer," Mann said.
>"You're never going to outcompete with this technology," he added. "There will always be a next wave of ad blockers. If you put one company out of business, there will be another to take its place."
>Ad blocking could continue to rise because consumers are becoming more and more annoyed with ads, according to a global survey of 28,000 consumers performed by Harris Interactive for Accenture and released last week.
>More than eight out of 10 consumers (84 percent) complained to surveyors that ad interruptions were too frequent, and 73 percent groused about ads not meeting their personal interests.
>"Audiences are accustomed to a personalized experience in the content they're watching," Mann noted. "If the ads aren't relevant or delivered in a style that doesn't feel unique, then they become invasive to that personalized experience."
>The long-term counter to ad blockers is not finding ways to circumvent them, but to produce better ads, he continued.
>"There's an opportunity for marketers to provide a more personalized advertising experience that's less intrusive," Mann said. "If the intrusion is about a product I care about, then I'm more likely to accept the intrusion as appropriate."

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/benghazi-in-crisis/
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 teacher of a school in Benghazi is well spoken and particularly committed. It is also mentioned that US and EU/NATO forces are planning an operation to bridge the divide in the groups fighting IS in the near future.
On the last point it would seem IS Group in Libya is reaching an inflection point.

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

Just before 3 p.m., police cruisers rammed Tordil’s silver Hyundai Elantra as it sat parked outside a strip mall. Officers then drew their guns and shouted for him to surrender — just one day after he had allegedly gunned down his wife within view of her daughter.

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 armed campus police force.
The protesters chanted the university is a “police state,” “Whose streets? Our streets!” and “Disarm PSU.” The board of trustees “kills us,” one demonstrator said into a bullhorn. Another accused police of being a “tool of capitalism to control people into staying where they are, staying in slavery, staying in poverty wages, staying in ridiclous working conditions.” Next up, a female demonstrator took the mic and declared: “We are fighting against racism. We are fighting against capitalism. And we are fighting against patriarchy.”
The video’s producers also note on Facebook that some speakers called police rapists, praised Palestine, and called for ending cooperation with immigration enforcement. Watch this video and just be glad you don’t live in Portlandia:
The protest was the latest in a string of actions by Disarm PSU campus activists over the last year. They have also continually disrupted board meetings.
http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/27441/
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 involuntary detox, and will receive state public service training and certification. They will also be able to go off campus to follow up on crimes and check in on students who are suspected to be a risk to themselves or others.”
(No wonder these radical students don’t want cops on campus.)
Scott Gallagher, a university spokesman, told The Oregonian that despite the protest, the police force is final; Portland State already has eight armed officers and plans to add four additional armed officers over the next two years, Gallagher said. The university also has nine unarmed campus security officers.
“While we support our students’ right to free speech,” Gallagher told the newspaper, “the decision to create a sworn Portland State University police force was made by the Board of Trustees in 2014 after more than two years of study and debate with students, faculty, staff and the community.”

https://theintercept.com/2016/05/10/hackers-attempt-to-hold-capitol-hill-data-for-ransom/
>The House is under attack by hackers hoping to infiltrate congressional computers, encrypt their contents, and then force users to pay a ransom to get their access back.
>“In the past 48 hours, the House Information Security Office has seen an increase of attacks on the House Network using third party, web-based mail applications such as YahooMail, Gmail,” the House’s Technology Service Desk wrote in an email to House staffers on April 30.
>According to the email obtained by The Intercept, the hacked emails impersonate familiar people and invite staffers to download an attachment laced with malware — what’s known as a “phishing” attack.
>“When a user clicks on the link in the attack email, the malware encrypts all files on that computer, including shared files, making them unusable until a ‘ransom’ is paid,” the email said.
>But House administrative offices refused to say how many if any attacks have been successful, what sort of data may have been affected, or how much has been paid in ransom, if anything.
>“The potential for ransomware attacks the House faces is similar to any large organization,” a spokesman for the Chief Administrative Officer of the House wrote in a statement to The Intercept. “The House recognizes the importance of taking steps to employ a cyber security plan to protect our infrastructure, and we constantly work to improve training and education for all House users.”
>A lockdown on parts of the House internet network — from Wi-Fi to Ethernet — remains ongoing.
...
>Access to both YahooMail and Google Cloud services hosted by Google’s appspot.com appear to be completely blocked on the House’s network, according to Ted Henderson, a former Hill staffer and founder of two social-network applications designed for Capitol Hill communication: Cloakroom and Capitol Bells. It’s unclear if both blockages, not just Yahoo’s, are related to the ransomware attacks.
>Henderson says his several thousand users cannot post to the social networks inside the House office buildings. The way Cloakroom works, you’re normally able to log in either anonymously simply by using Capitol Hill Wi-Fi or with your staff email address. The Senate office buildings don’t appear to be affected.
>“This is the first time I’ve seen this happen at a scale like this in five years,” Henderson wrote The Intercept in an email.
>In recent months, several lawmakers have penned letters asking the Obama administration how it’s dealing with the problem of ransomware — a type of attack more than two dozen government agencies have admitted to confronting in the past as well.
>Now that Congress itself is the target, security researchers are hopeful the issue will draw more national attention. “What you’re seeing in Congress is just part of what’s happening,” Markus Jakobsson, founder of ZapFraud, a scam email detection service, and an expert on phishing attacks told The Intercept. “This will hopefully bring some awareness to decision makers. … once they start [going after Congress], there will be changes.”
>Ransomware attacks take many forms. Some hackers have managed to infect entire websites with malware.
>It’s not clear whether the current spate of attacks on the House network were targeted, or whether House users just happened to find themselves among the ever-growing number of victims.

>SALT LAKE CITY — Utah political leaders and anti-pornography activists said Tuesday that children’s minds are being corrupted in a world where graphic sexual images are a click away.
>Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert signed two pieces of legislation on Tuesday that aim to combat what's called "a sexually toxic environment" caused by porn.
>Herbert spoke during a ceremonial signing of the declaration — calling pornography a plague, pandemic and scourge that warps children’s minds, threatens marriages and contributes to sexual violence.
>"Pornography is a public health crisis. Today I signed two bills that will bring its dangers to light. S.C.R. 9 calls for additional research and education so that more individuals and families are aware of the harmful effects of pornography," said Herbert.
>It also says pornography "equates violence toward women and children with sex and pain with pleasure, which increases the demand for sex trafficking, prostitution, child sexual abuse images, and child pornography."
>"Pornography encourages viewers to view their sexual partners in a dehumanized way, and it increases the acceptance and enjoyment of sexual violence and harmful beliefs about women, sex and rape."
>State Sen. Todd Weiler, chief sponsor of both pieces of legislation, said, "Pornography today is like tobacco was 70 years ago," comparing the addictive effects.
>Many at ceremony were young people wearing T-shirts with the phrase, “Porn kills love.”
>The bill requires that computer technicians who find child pornography during their work should report it to law enforcement officials. The bill further stipulates that "the willful failure to report the child pornography" would be a class B misdemeanor.
