Based on handcuffs alphabet by Crystal KentSo, my story goes, one day I decided that enough is enough and it’s about time for me to part ways with Upwork. Once my beloved platform has rubbed me the wrong way more than once. I was free to opt in. So, I’m free to opt out. Right? You are free to join and you are free to say goodbye. This is what #freelancing is supposed to be all about — freedom. Right again? Well, it turns out that there’s a catch — an Upwork legal catch.The Legal Catch 22 — Section 7 of Upwork’s TermsI honestly thought it would be as simple as that. It didn’t take too much time to create an account on Upwork. It would take even less to terminate one. Oh boy, I was in for a nasty legal surprise. It all started with one message I stumble upon an official Upwork’s Facebook page. It turned (...)

"Lanceurs d’alerte ou survivalistes sectaires : qui sont vraiment les collapsologues ?"
« En fait, presque tout se jouera sur le terrain de l’imagination. [...] Nous avons grandement besoin de nouveaux récits transformatifs pour entrer dans une grande période d’incertitude, des histoires qui raconteraient la réussite d’une génération à s’affranchir des énergies fossiles grâce à l’entraide et à la coopération. » L’entraide, la coopération, la constitution de communautés résilientes : des solutions qui s’apparentent bien souvent à une réactivation de celles promues en son temps par le courant décroissant.

Un autre hiver... un de plus...
Winter conditions add to migrant hardship in northern Greece
Freezing weather is exacerbating difficult conditions for migrants in overcrowded refugee camps in northern Greece. Last week the cold spell led to a protest by dozens of migrants at a camp near Thessaloniki. Greek officials have blamed the number of people flooding into the camp from the islands and across the Turkish border. But could the situation have been prevented?
Harsh winter conditions hit northern Greece a few days into the new year, bringing sub-zero temperatures, strong winds, snow and ice. In the Diavata refugee camp near the port city of Thessaloniki, several hundred people are struggling with basic survival. Yet every week, despite the weather conditions, more continue to arrive.
“They don’t think about this kind of thing, they just want to move on,” said one man at Diavata after another Afghan family arrived in the snow. “They just think that in the next stage from Turkey, when they go to Greece, everything will be fine.”
Camp protests
When they reach Diavata, the migrants find the reality is different. The camp is full to capacity, with around 800 registered asylum seekers. On top of these, there are between 500 and 650 people living at the site without having been registered by migration authorities.
“Most of them have built their own makeshift shelters and tents, which are not providing them with the protection needed,” says Mike Bonke, the Greece country director of the Arbeiter Samariter Bund (ASB), an NGO providing support services to Diavata. “They have no (safe) heating, washing and sanitation and cooking facilities.”
Last week, the difficult conditions prompted around 40 migrants to hold a protest outside the camp, burning tires and blockading the road. A truck driver tried to get through the barricade resulting in a fight which left one man in hospital.
The driver lost his patience and started swearing at the migrants, who threw rocks and broke his windscreen, reports said. The driver and four migrants were charged with causing grievous bodily harm, according to the Greek daily, Katherimini.
Conditions create health concerns
Diavata is just one of a number of migrant facilities in northern Greece to have been affected by the cold snap. An NGO contacted by InfoMigrants said that Orestiada, near the Evros river to the east, was covered in snow. Migrants in the critically overcrowded camps on the islands too are contending with snow, frozen water pipes and icy roads.
According to the ASB, the refugee reception camps lack resources to cope with the current conditions. “Healthcare services at all (refugee reception) sites are not adequate,” Bonke says.
Agis Terzidis, an advisor to the Greek Minister of Health and Vice-President of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) which coordinates healthcare provision to migrants and refugees, admits that the cold weather, in addition to the poor conditions and overcrowding in the camps, is exacerbating migrants’ health problems. “We have people living in conditions that are not acceptable for anyone,” he says.
National health system must step up
In response to the worsening situation, there are plans to boost EU-funded medical teams operating in camps throughout the country, including the islands, Agis Terzidis says. But he told InfoMigrants that from now on, more pressure would be put on the Greek national health system and local hospitals to tackle the problem, rather than medical staff in the camps themselves.
Terzidis also insisted that fixing the situation in the camps was “not in the mandate” of the CDC, as it was chiefly a result of greater numbers of people arriving and consequent overcrowding.
Instead, the CDC’s main priority remains vaccinating migrants to prevent outbreaks of hepatitis, measles and other infectious diseases. It also focuses on treating those suffering from chronic diseases, some of whom will likely succumb to the harsh winter conditions.
Too many people
With more bleak weather predicted, a vegetable garden is being planned in the Diavata camp, giving the residents something to look forward to. That will have to be abandoned if more people start to arrive when the weather improves.
The camps continue to be under pressure from the large and unpredictable numbers of arrivals. Currently there are around 20 arrivals per week at Diavata, but that could quickly escalate to hundreds. So far, Greek authorities do not seem to have taken steps to limit how many end up at the camps seeking protection.
I think we can all agree that this situation should have been solved by registering these refugees in the Greek Migration system and providing them with dignified and safe shelters.
_ Mike Bonke, Greece country director, Arbeiter Samariter Bund
As both government and army staff and their NGO colleagues in the camps remain powerless to solve the problem of overcrowding, their main task will be to protect migrants from harm and exposure as the winter enters its coldest months.

Popular Uprising in Paris and Left’s Fear of Populism

Ca, par exemple, c’est trop précis pour être vrai :
The Yellow Vests call for : (a) No one be left homeless ; (b) end of the austerity policy ; cancellation of interest on illegitimate debt ; end of taxing the poor to pay back the debt ; recovery of the 85 billion Euros of fiscal fraud ; (c) creation of a true integration policy, with French language, history and civics courses for immigrants ; (d) minimum salary €1500 per month ; (e) giving privilege to city and village centres by stopping building of huge shopping malls and arcades ; (f) more progressive income tax rates ; and finally (g) more taxes on big companies like Mac Donald’s, Google, Amazon and Carrefour, and low taxes on little artisans.
Mais ça c’est pas mal :
The rebels donning yellow breakdown-safety vests required to keep in their cars by the government have spurned political parties. They got organized on social media, and began acting locally. The movement spread in this way on successive Saturdays. Saturdays, because on working days women raising kids with their precarious jobs cannot strike. Thus, women receptionists, hostesses, nurses, teachers have come out in unusually large numbers. It is not the banal strike that the Left engages in, but something more. The Left in France as elsewhere has surrendered before the neo-liberal, pro-business counter-reforms. The union leaders are eager to keep their place at the table. They only go through the motions of carrying out strikes. Workers were fatigued.

This Part Of Antarctica Was Not Supposed To Be Shrinking | Gizmodo Australia
▻https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2019/01/this-part-of-antarctica-was-not-supposed-to-be-shrinking
That suggests it’s far from the end of the story for this very big, very remote, and very poorly studied part of the world. New datasets expected to come online from satellite missions like GRACE-Follow On, which uses gravity data to track Antarctica’s weight loss, and ICESat-2, which measures the height of icy surfaces, should help researchers refine the picture even further.
But this isn’t the first time a study has punched a hole in East Antarctica’s icy fortitude. A study published last summer found that two critical East Antarctic outlet glaciers, Totten and Moscow University #glacier, are shedding some 18 billion tons of ice a year. More recently, NASA researchers estimated that four #glaciers west of Totten have lost nine feet of surface height since 2008.
One thing’s for certain: If East Antarctica is losing weight, and if that trend accelerates, the future of Earth’s coastlines could start to look a lot dimmer.

Figure centrale de la nouvelle scène électronique palestinienne, SAMA’ fait bouger les têtes et les lignes de la techno. Mais ce qu’elle préfère, c’est encore le football. La preuve : elle a fait partie de la première équipe nationale féminine de Palestine. Entretien avec une pionnière.
Il y a vraiment de la politique dans le football, ça va main dans la main dès qu’on parle d’équipes nationales. Surtout dans le cas palestinien. Il y a deux ans environ, l’Arabie saoudite ne voulait pas venir jouer en Palestine, ils nous ont demandé d’aller jouer en Jordanie. Il y avait toute une discussion autour de ça. Alors qu’on voulait juste jouer au foot ! Donc il y a cet aspect-là, mais aussi l’aspect collectif, communautaire du football. Ça crée une atmosphère, tu peux voir des gens d’horizons différents se réunir. Et ça, déjà, c’est politique. Il y a cette idée d’aller au combat ensemble.

Narbonne : Le Gilet jaune à la « notoriété » certaine condamné à six mois de prison ferme
Quand le mouvement de contestation contre le prix de l’essence débute, le jeune homme met fin à son contrat en CDD dans une chocolaterie pour "passer plus de temps sur les ronds-points". "Entre 4h et 7 heures tous les jours", précisera le président.
Il était jugé hier [6 janvier 2019] devant le tribunal correctionnel de Narbonne pour des faits qui remontent au 2 et 3 janvier. Le mercredi, il lance un appel au blocage de la raffinerie de Port-La Nouvelle sur les réseaux sociaux et le 3, au matin, il est arrêté par les gendarmes sur place, alors qu’il est encore en train de filmer.
[L]a procureure a requis 2 ans d’emprisonnement dont 6 mois avec sursis, malgré le casier vierge du prévenu.
Après délibération, le tribunal a condamné le jeune homme à six mois de prison ferme, le relaxant du chef de " participation à une association de malfaiteur ". Son maintien en détention n’a pas été ordonné. Il pourrait donc obtenir un aménagement de peine auprès du juge des libertés et de la détention. Il s’est en revanche vu notifier une interdiction de participer à une manifestation sur la voie publique pendant trois ans.
