Mais qui fixe les limites ? Si ce sont les drogués du jeu en personne, alors il n’y a plus de contre-pouvoir et la menace n’a plus rien d’une menace fantôme.

    En tendant le miroir à 5 générations d’hommes, on veut prendre la mesure des transformations produites sous l’effet du féminisme. On peut espérer qu’une majorité d’entre eux les acceptent, on observe que certains y contribuent même et sont des alliés, mais on sait aussi que d’autres les refusent et considèrent toujours les femmes comme des corps « à disposition ».

    Avec Les mâles du siècle, nous espérons contribuer à ce que les hommes prennent leur part dans la lutte contre les inégalités, discriminations et violences faites aux femmes.

    In April 2014, I was raped by police officers in Paris, France. After a five year legal battle, we finally went to trial in January 2019 and the two officers charged, Nicolas Redouane and Antoine Quirin, were found guilty and sentenced to 7 years in prison.

    They have appealed and, according to French law, an appeal is actually a 2nd trial. My attorneys have worked tirelessly for years and this case consumes their firm - they deserve fair payment for their work. I am unable to work since the rape and Canadian legal aid wont assist the victim, therefore I need assistance to ensure I receive the same level of representation at the 2nd trial.

    Tu sais que Nina Faure prépare un nouveau documentaire sur le plaisir féminin ? Et qu’il y a besoin de sousous.

    Le plaisir féminin
    ▻http://www.cp-productions.fr/le-plaisir-feminin

    Nina Faure et Yéléna Perret, deux jeunes femmes en plein cœur d’une nouvelle vague féministe, cherchent à comprendre pourquoi l’émancipation promise depuis les années 70 n’est pas encore là. Elles participent à la ré-écriture de Notre corps, nous-mêmes, un manuel sur la santé des femmes, basé sur de renversantes discussions collectives qui en disent long sur la bataille en cours. Nina Faure mène l’enquête auprès de chercheuses, médecins, philosophes et militantes : les hommes et les femmes sont-ils désormais égaux ? Que reste-t-il à faire ? Ensemble, et avec d’autres, elles vont raconter depuis l’intérieur la lutte des femmes dans une époque en plein questionnement sur l’égalité des sexes, imaginer un nouvel horizon d’émancipation et tenter de construire un programme secret pour abolir le patriarcat… dans la sexualité pour commencer.

    Merci de mettre une piécette si vous pouvez les ami⋅es, même pas grand chose, pour aider les potes de Raffut, et notamment Jamila et Nico, qui suivent les Ford depuis des années.

    Plus de douze ans que les ouvriers syndicalistes de Ford Blanquefort résistent à la fermeture de leur usine, et bientôt trois ans que nous les suivons avec nos caméras dans l’intimité de leur groupe. Aujourd’hui, l’usine devrait fermer, et c’est pour certains l’histoire professionnelle, humaine et syndicale de toute une vie qui se termine. Pour nous, il s’agit donc de mener à terme un film, d’abord comme témoignage de la lutte qu’ils ont menée, mais aussi pour comprendre avec eux ce qu’ils ont affronté : le management et la stratégie de l’une des plus grandes multinationales automobiles.

    As we all know capital is still considered one of the biggest barriers when entering real estate investments simply because you haven’t created any value yet to collateralized a loan, it simply doesn’t allow you to borrow any funds as a startup. Luckily for us, real estate crowdfunding platforms have opened its doors towards more opportunity for real estate investments.According to Forbes, real estate crowdfunding continues to be a dynamic and ever-evolving industry, growing to an estimated $3.5 billion in 2016. By 2025, the crowdfunding industry as a whole is anticipated to be valued at more than $300 billion and online real estate marketplaces are primed to capitalize on that explosive growth.So let’s go over on how Crowdfunding works.What is Crowdfunding?Crowdfunding is a way of (...)

    How Much Money Does Tokenisation Actually Save?

    There is much talk about the benefits of tokenisation, primarily in application to capital markets (so-called “security tokens”). But how much benefit are we talking about? Let’s draw a quick outline, roughly.In the diagram above, you can see the typical equity #crowdfunding operator’s task. Grey circles are “sub-accounts”; the money goes through a sub-account from the particular investor to the particular project and back (as interest or dividends). Each horizontal line of sub-accounts represents a “project bank” where the money accumulates to reach the cap, to prepare for the quarterly distribution, etc.This function allows operators to easily manipulate money amongst separate “wallets” and it comes at a cost. But how much? Before we calculate, let’s note one thing: it seems pretty obvious, but (...)

And in Summer 2018, it even overtook Seed and Angel investments:(Source: coindesk.com, crunchbase.com)Given the numbers, it’s easy to see why startup founders should select ICO/STOs as their major source of fundraising. Following my #10kqachallenge (where I interview 10,000 experts in different niches: formula.geekforge.io) I asked VCs and crypto fund founders and executives about this question, and here’s how they answered:Andrew Knight — Fund Manager at invictuscapital.comLet’s start with a process of elimination.

    Compliance will be a big focus for the crypto industry in 2019The year 2018 was a total disaster for the crypto world. In a space where the focus seems to be price and price alone, the general feeling was that of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).The effect of this global downtrend was never more apparent than for ICOs. Initial Coin Offerings started 2018 with a bang, by 2nd quarter of 2018 alone, they managed to snag 10 times more than the cumulative sum of investments from ICOs of Q1–2 2017. However, in the span of a year, the ICO investments per month — went from more than $1 Billion in January being invested, to just $179 Million in November.On top of this, the US SEC’s recent outings against ICOs, has rocked the world of cryptocurrencies and promoting more FUD.

    You own a startup, or an office building in Manhattan, and you’ve heard a lot of buzz about turning your asset into a security token. You likely have many questions, such as “What is a security token?”, “Why should I use a security token?”, and “How do I do that?”. I am going to help answer those questions and explain why issuing a security token is just a faster, more modern, and more valuable extension of a traditional security issuance.What is a security token?A “security token” is legally identical to a traditional security. The only difference between a security and a security token is the manner in which ownership is recorded. Simply put, a security token is a security that has been turned into a digital asset on a #blockchain. If that sounds foreign to you, take a look at this helpful (...)

    Investment platforms vie to capture a share of global #remittances

    Investment platforms are vying to capture a share of global remittances
    IN 2016 AYO ADEWUNMI, a Nigerian-born agricultural trader living in London, bought a five-hectare farm in
    his homeland. It has produced little since. “I am not in the country, so I have to rely on third parties. It’s just
    not good enough,” he says.
    Mr Adewunmi has since discovered another, potentially more satisfactory way to make such investments:
    through #FarmCrowdy (▻https://www.farmcrowdy.com), a crowdfunding platform that lends to Nigerian farms and provides technical
    assistance to their owners. The two-year-old startup, which is considering expanding into Ghana, places high
    hopes in the African diaspora as a source of funds.
    The case for such platforms goes beyond agriculture. Global remittances are expected to soar from $468bn
    in 2010 to $667bn in 2019. They are among the top two foreign-currency sources in several countries,
    including Kenya and the Philippines. Yet hardly any of the money is invested.
    In part, this is because recipients use three-quarters of the money for basics such as food and housing. But it
    is also because emigrants who want to invest back home have few options. New investment channels could
    attract lots of extra cash—about $73bn a year in Commonwealth countries alone, according to research by
    the 53-country grouping.

    Crowdfunding platforms would enable investors to put modest sums directly into smaller businesses in
    developing countries, which are often cash-starved. Yet of the emerging world’s 85 debt- and
    equity-crowdfunding ventures, only a handful raise money abroad. Several platforms set up in rich countries
    over the past decade to invest in developing countries, including Emerging Crowd, Homestrings and Enable
    Impact, quickly folded.
    A big problem is that few developing countries have rules about crowdfunding. Many have allowed activity
    so far chiefly because the industry is so small, says Anton Root of Allied Crowds, a consultancy. Cross-border
    transfers using such platforms easily fall foul of rich countries’ rules intended to stop money-laundering and
    the financing of terrorism.
    Some developing countries have realised that they need to act. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia
    have all recently passed regulations on equity crowdfunding or peer-to-peer lending. But from a
    cross-border perspective, Africa seems most inventive, owing to active entrepreneurs and Western help.

    Last month the British government approved a grant of £230,000 ($300,000) to the African Crowdfunding
    Association to help it craft model accreditation and investor-protection rules. Elizabeth Howard of
    LelapaFund, a platform focused on east Africa, is part of an effort to see such rules adopted across the
    continent. That would help reassure sending countries that transfers do not end up in the wrong hands, she
    says. She hopes to enlist the support of the Central Bank of West African States, which oversees eight
    Francophone countries, at a gathering of crowdfunders and regulators sponsored by the French
    government in Dakar, in Senegal, this month.
    Thameur Hemdane of Afrikwity, a platform targeting Francophone Africa, says the industry will also study
    whether prospective laws could be expanded to the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, a
    grouping of six countries. Harmonised rules will not guarantee crowdfunders’ success, but would be a useful
    step towards raising the amount of diaspora capital that is put to productive use.

    There are so many international wrist watch companies in the world. But it is hard to pick one that justifies the price tag. Recently, I was approached by a new watchmaking firm with the name of Niklaas Fritz (NF) to review their products. And their simple yet cool design really impressed me.Nowadays, a wristwatch is not just for seeing or checking time. It is more about showcasing your style and personality. The type of watch you wear defines you as a person. It is about passion and a way of expressing yourself.So what’s the catch in NF?NF offers superior quality #watches at a reasonable price and they claim that their quality of watches is better than their competitors.They use numerous luxurious materials in their watches such as sapphire crystal, full-grain leather, and stainless (...)

    A snapshot of the team, taken April 20, 2018As countless other stories go, the beginning of StartEngine was a simple one. Today, StartEngine is 33 employees. We have helped 160 companies raise capital from our pool of 150,000+ investors. We have raised $5M on our own platform at a $60M valuation and just announced a $10M ICO, which is in test the waters at a $130M valuation at $10 per share.But before all of this, StartEngine began as a singular idea: I wanted to invest in 60 companies.Setting the goalAfter the second video game company I founded, Acclaim Games, was acquired by Walt Disney (Playdom was the original buyer), I wanted to take a break from the entrepreneurial side of the business and become an investor. Keep in mind that I co-founded Activision in 1991, and it eventually (...)
