Le libéralisme et l’intellectualisme sont menacés
▻http://www.taurillon.org/le-liberalisme-et-l-intellectualisme-sont-menaces
Les victoires du Brexit au #Royaume-Uni et de Donald Trump aux Etats-Unis sont deux faces d’un même phénomène qui gagne en importance dans les « vieilles » démocraties libérales. Appelé « populisme », « extrême-droite » ou « droite alternative », il est avant tout antilibéral, anti-mondialisation, et anti-intellectualiste ; et est nourri par les inexactitudes et mensonges de certains médias en ligne, mais aussi de puissances étrangères.

7 gigantesques claques électorales et médiatiques que les libéraux (fanatiques du libre échange) et les pseudo intellectuels des salons parisiens viennent de se prendre, de la part de la Démocratie.
Il faut dire que la réalité, malgré la propagande continue des soit disant médias d’information , c’est un boulot de serveur chez mac do pour les bac +4 de la classe moyenne, la misère pour ceux qui sont en dessous, un pays en cours de destruction par ses dirigeants politiques, actuels ou à venir.

In fact, the United States spent $50 million from 1986 to 1992 on what was called a “jihad literacy” project — printing books for Afghan children and adults to encourage violence against non-Muslim “infidels” like Soviet troops. A first-grade language textbook for Pashto speakers, for example, according to a study by Dana Burde, an associate professor at New York University, used “Mujahid,” or fighter of jihad, as the illustration: “My brother is a Mujahid. Afghan Muslims are Mujahedeen. I do jihad together with them. Doing jihad against infidels is our duty.”

Rukmini Callimachi, journaliste qui couvre pour le New York Times les groupes #djihadistes, et particulièrement l’organisation Etat islamique (#EI), a publié une enquête saisissante
▻http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/04/world/middleeast/isis-german-recruit-interview.html?_r=0
sur les rouages de l’organisation, et particulièrement de sa branche de renseignement chargée de recruter et de former des combattants étrangers, appelée « Emni » en arabe.
Rukmini Callimachi is arguably the best reporter on the most important beat in the world. As a New York Times correspondent covering terrorism, her work explores not just what jihadists do but how they do it. You’ve read her stories on ISIS’s use of birth control to maintain its supply of sex slaves, or the Kouachi brothers’ path to the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, or the nature of lone-wolf attacks like the recent mass shooting in Orlando. Her byline often appears on the front page of the paper; at just 43, she’s received three Pulitzer Prize nominations. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Callimachi, though, is how she gets her insights into the world’s most hostile and secretive organizations. Sure, she spends months every year out of the country reporting, but increasingly her work requires just as much time staring at her phone and computer screen. Social media enables Callimachi to access what she calls the “inner world of jihadists”; she lurks in Telegram chat rooms, navigates an endless flood of tips on Twitter, and carefully tracks sources and subjects all over the Internet. Her cell phone battery dies up to four times a day. The truth, she has found, is as much online as it is on the ground.

In the Age of ISIS, Who’s a Terrorist, and Who’s Simply Deranged? - NYTimes.com

In December 2014, a middle-aged man driving a car in Dijon, France, mowed down more than a dozen pedestrians within 30 minutes, occasionally shouting Islamic slogans from his window.
The chief prosecutor in Dijon described the attacks, which left 13 injured but no one dead, as the work of a mentally unbalanced man whose motivations were vague and “hardly coherent.”
A year and a half later, after Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel slaughtered dozens of people when he drove a 19-ton refrigerated truck through a Bastille Day celebration on Thursday in Nice, France, the authorities did not hesitate to call it an act of Islamic terrorism. The attacker had a record of petty crime but no obvious ties to a terrorist group, yet the French prime minister swiftly said Mr. Lahouaiej Bouhlel was “a terrorist probably linked to radical Islam one way or another.”
The age of the Islamic State, in which the tools of terrorism appear increasingly crude and haphazard, has led to a reimagining of the common notion of who is and who is not a terrorist.

How You’re Making Facebook a Money Machine
▻http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/04/30/upshot/how-youre-making-facebook-a-money-machine.html
What you do when waiting for the bus or avoiding work goes a long way to explaining a tectonic shift in business and media.
In such moments you are most likely checking #Facebook. More of you will be doing that than tweeting, searching on #Google, checking stock prices on Yahoo or reading articles like this. And that constant lure, a fix you can easily satisfy both on a phone and a desktop computer, explains why Facebook is pulling ahead of every other large technology company right now.
Your addiction is making Facebook astonishingly profitable. Put a little more kindly, your emotional and intellectual interactions on the social network are creating a great place for companies to advertise.
[...]
Facebook is doing well because it occupies a huge sweet spot in the connected world, perhaps an even bigger one than Google owns.
[...] Both companies get most of their revenue from advertising.
But people apparently hang around on Facebook far longer. According to SimilarWeb, users spent just over 17 minutes on the social network on average in March, well ahead of the nine minutes for Google (these figures don’t accurately reflect how active people are on the sites, but you can still see the difference.)
[...]
Another advantage for Facebook is that its costs are lower than Google’s, which helps it make more money out of every dollar of revenue.
Pundits made a big deal this week about how Facebook excelled as Apple stumbled. But there was a warning for Facebook in Apple’s results. Apple has relied heavily on one product — the iPhone — for much of its revenue, so when sales of the device slowed, there was little Apple could do to keep growing. Facebook is even more reliant on a single element: advertising revenue. If people spend markedly less time on Facebook — because an enticing new network comes along, for example — the company’s revenue growth could slow.
There is no such threat on the horizon. Until one develops, we will be on our phones helping Mark Zuckerberg make even more money.
Acreage for Genetically Modified Crops Declined in 2015 - NYTimes.com
▻http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/04/13/business/acreage-for-genetically-modified-crops-declined-in-2015.html?_r=1&referer=http://mobile.newsnow.co.uk/h/Industry+Sectors/Biotech/GM+Food
In 2015, for the first time, the acreage used for the crops declined, according to a nonprofit that tracks the plantings of biotech seeds.
The organization said the main cause for the decline, which measured 1 percent from 2014 levels, was low commodity prices, which led farmers to plant less corn, soybeans and canola of all types, both genetically engineered and nonengineered.
But the figures for the last few years show that the existing market for the crops has nearly been saturated.
Only three countries — the United States, Brazil and Argentina — account for more than three-quarters of the total global acreage. And only four crops — corn, soybeans, cotton and canola — account for the majority of biotechnology use in agriculture. In many cases, more than 90 percent of those four crops grown in those three countries, and in other large growers like Canada, India and China, is already genetically modified, leaving little room for expansion.
Efforts to expand use of biotechnology to other crops and to other countries have been hindered by opposition from consumer and environmental groups, regulatory hurdles and in some cases scientific obstacles.

Rev. Robert Palladino, Scribe Who Shaped Apple’s Fonts, Dies at 83 - NYTimes.com

The monk was the Rev. Robert Palladino, who died on Feb. 26 at 83. A Roman Catholic priest who began his vocation in a monastic order, Father Palladino was also a world-renowned master of calligraphy.
“Priest and calligrapher,” his business card read, in his unimpeachable Renaissance italic, and he long plied both trades at once. For years, babies he baptized received baptismal certificates in his flawless hand. In Oregon, where he made his home, Father Palladino hand-lettered the state medical licenses for generations of newly minted doctors.
As a Trappist brother, Father Palladino learned his art in silence, honed it over years of study and eventually, on leaving his order, taught it to others.
To his students, he brought a world of genteel scholarship and quiet contemplation; a world whose modus operandi — by hand, with ink, on paper, parchment and vellum — was little changed for centuries; a world of classical music (an accomplished singer, he liked to ply his calligraphy to Beethoven), Gregorian chant and the Latin Mass, which he continued celebrating in discreet defiance long after Vatican II.
Into that world burst a young college dropout named Steve Jobs.
It is a coincidence no less exquisite than Father Palladino’s finest calligraphy that “Silicon Valley’s future most famous screamer studied with a monk who spent years taking a vow of silence,” as The Hollywood Reporter wrote shortly after Mr. Jobs’s death in 2011.

▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/03/08/the-trappist-monk-whose-calligraphy-inspired-steve-jobs-and-influenc
“He found it amusing that he would be remembered primarily as the calligraphy teacher of Steve Jobs, especially since Robert did not own and never used a computer,” Calligraphy Initiative Coordinator Gregory MacNaughton said in a Reed College statement announcing Palladino’s death.
Jobs was just one of hundreds of students Palladino taught, at Reed, and also at Portland State University, Marylhurst University and the Portland Art Museum, according to the 2003 profile.

Mais par contre dans le Sørlandet, les flics sont très fâchés de voir arriver ces guignols débiles : ils ont été très clairs, ils ne les laisseront pas ni parader ni patrouiller dans les rues, ni emmerder qui que ce soit dans l’espace public. Ils sont même prêts, disent-ils à la police, à les arrêter.

A Three-Ring Circus in Finland : Soldiers, ‘Loldiers’ and Asylum Seekers - NYTimes.com
▻http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/02/10/world/europe/a-three-ring-circus-in-finland-soldiers-loldiers-and-asylum-seekers.
TAMPERE, Finland — A surreal political circus is wheeling its way through the frosty streets of Finland’s third-largest city.
In one ring is the Soldiers of Odin, a far-right, leather-clad vigilante patrol named for a Norse deity, which has taken upon itself the task of protecting Tampere from the 1,200 or so people seeking asylum here from Syria, Iraq and other places.
In another is a troupe of clowns who skip through the streets carrying lollipops, feather dusters and toilet brushes, mocking and sometimes confronting anti-immigrant groups, including the soldiers. The clowns call themselves the Loldiers of Odin and have emerged on the scene in the past few weeks as champions of multiculturalism.
And so it goes as this industrial town — which some call Finland’s “capital of comedy” — and much of Europe grapple with the influx of newcomers from the Middle East, Africa and beyond.
It started with the Soldiers of Odin, a group that began in Kemi, a town on the fringe of Lapland near the Arctic Circle that saw thousands of asylum seekers coming through from the Swedish border in late 2015. Now the group is organized in as many as 25 cities in Finland, and a Facebook group for the soldiers has been formed in Norway.

Australia is in talks with the Philippinesabout the possibility of that country accepting asylum seekers, currently being held on remote Pacific islands, who had tried to reach Australia by boat, the immigration minister said on Friday.
A similar plan to resettle asylum seekers in Cambodia has faltered, with just four having moved there since the country reached a similar agreement with Australia last year.
╲We have had bilateral discussions with other countries including the Philippines at an official level, at a ministerial level, over a number of months,╡ Peter Dutton, Australiaâ•˙s immigration minister, told reporters. He said the foreign minister, Julie Bishop, had discussed the matter with other officials while at the United Nations General Assembly in New York recently.
Mr. Dutton declined to provide details of the possible plan. The Australian newspaper, which earlier reported newsof the discussions, said it could cost Australia more than 150 million Australian dollars, or $108 million, citing unidentified government officials

BANGKOK, 14 October 2015 (IRIN) - With the failure of its scheme to resettle refugees in Cambodia and growing concerns about its offshore detention centres, the Australian government is hoping the elusive solution to what has become a policy nightmare might be found in the Philippines.
