Cryptocurrency Exchange QuadrigaCX Is Unable to Reimburse CustomersSource: Extremetech.com.The cryptocurrency exchange company QuadrigaCX, which was founded in 2013, has entered dark digital waters.

As mobile markets in developed world near saturation, Google rolls out Neighbourly, its first Indian-inspired social network To check Instagram at home, Laveena must stand on the edge of her terrace, arm outstretched, hoping the signal is strong enough for her phone to blink to life. A few times a day, she grudgingly shares her phone with her little brother, so he can speak to his friends on the WhatsApp account they share.

Des fermiers indiens s’enterrent pendant un mois pour ne pas céder leur propriété

Depuis le début du mois d’octobre, des agriculteurs passent leur journée enfoncés jusqu’au cou dans la terre de leur village, Nindar, à côté de Jaipur, dans le Rajasthan. Un moyen radical de protester contre le projet d’extension urbaine mené par le gouvernement régional, qui s’étend sur 210 hectares, dont la plupart leur appartiennent.

Le projet consiste à étendre la vile de Jaipur qui compte autour de 3 millions d’habitants. Mais les agriculteurs affirment qu’ils n’ont pas été consultés dans les règles, et que les termes dans lesquels se réalise l’acquisition ne sont pas équitables.

C’est après l’échec de manifestations classiques qu’ils ont décidé, le 2 octobre, de se lancer dans un nouveau mode de contestation. Plutôt bien pensé, puisque le pouvoir évocateur des images des paysans enterrés a vite attiré la presse nationale, et contraint les responsables de la Jaipur Development Authority – un organisme public chargé de la mise en œuvre du rachat et de réaménagement des terres – à venir négocier.

La mobilisation a finalement porté ses fruits : lundi 30 octobre, les agriculteurs ont finalement obtenu ce qu’ils demandaient, à savoir une nouvelle consultation des autorités et une renégociation de la compensation proposée. Un succès presque inespéré, raconte notre Observateur.

The Pacific Islands present were Fiji, Cook Islands, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. Eleven of the tiny island nations were represented by their heads of state or government, and the remaining three by foreign ministers.

The women of #India's Barefoot College bring light to remote villages | Global development | guardian.co.uk

the Barefoot College in Tilonia, 100km from Jaipur. The college was set up in 1972 by Sanjit “Bunker” Roy to teach rural people skills with which they could transform their villages, regardless of gender, caste, ethnicity, age or schooling. The college claims to have trained 15,000 women in skills including solar engineering, healthcare and water testing. Roy, 65, says his approach – low cost, decentralised and community driven – works by “capitalising on the resources already present in the villages”.
