Tiny Off-Grid Cabin in Maine is Completely Self-Sustaining | Liberty First Via Dwell Living on one of the outermost inhabited islands on the American eastern seaboard requires a vigilance in numbers, and the villagers of the community of Criehaven (technically Ragged Island) take their record-keeping seriously, but not too seriously. The library—–still littered with evidence of a raucous game of Texas hold ’em—–is a fine example. Bruce Porter, a journalist and retired professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, has owned a roughly three-quarter-acre lot on this remote, off-the-grid island for years, but it’s taken nearly a lifetime for him to build anything. Over the course of 30-plus years, Bruce devised and abandoned countless plans for what to put there, including a Sisyphean scheme that involved shipping a tiny cabin from the Adirondacks. Despite the aesthetic differences, their first real hurdle was finding the borders of the lot, which had come to be known as “the floating acre” among the local fishermen. Total Views: 4520 ,

dailyELLE » Inside the NSA's War on Internet Security When Christmas approaches, the spies of the Five Eyes intelligence services can look forward to a break from the arduous daily work of spying. In addition to their usual job -- attempting to crack encryption all around the world -- they play a game called the "Kryptos Kristmas Kwiz," which involves solving challenging numerical and alphabetical puzzles. The proud winners of the competition are awarded "Kryptos" mugs. Encryption -- the use of mathematics to protect communications from spying -- is used for electronic transactions of all types, by governments, firms and private users alike. But a look into the archive of whistleblower Edward Snowden shows that not all encryption technologies live up to what they promise. One example is the encryption featured in Skype, a program used by some 300 million users to conduct Internet video chat that is touted as secure. For the NSA, encrypted communication -- or what all other Internet users would call secure communication -- is "a threat".

The Sartorialist Thursday, July 2, 2015 On the Street…Trend Alert, Pitti Uomo One of the few trends I saw emerging at Pitti this season, was this idea of a shorter camp shirt worn over a slightly longer tee-shirt. The over-shirt was usually in some kind of pattern, with the tee-shirt complementing or contrasting the color of the shirt on-top. …It was a very subtle detail but one of the few trends that I’ll be figuring out how to work into my own wardrobe this summer. Wednesday, July 1, 2015 Italian Summer….Sà Pesta,Genova Sà Pesta in Genova is the real deal. When we arrived for lunch at half past twelve the place was packed with locals.

Rapport mondial 2015 : Syrie En 2014, le conflit armé en Syrie est devenu de plus en plus sanglant, les forces gouvernementales et les milices qui sont leurs alliées ayant intensifié leurs attaques contre les zones peuplées de civils et continuant de recourir à des armes qui tuent sans discernement. Les forces gouvernementales ont également continué de se livrer à des arrestations arbitraires, à des disparitions forcées et à des actes de torture sur des prisonniers, dont beaucoup sont morts en détention. Les groupes armés non étatiques opposés au gouvernement ont eux aussi commis de graves exactions, notamment des attaques délibérées et sans discernement contre des civils, l'utilisation d'enfants soldats, des enlèvements et des actes de torture sur des prisonniers. En août 2014, le nombre de morts dans le conflit syrien a dépassé 191 000 personnes, selon la Haut-Commissaire des Nations Unies aux droits de l'homme de l'époque, Navi Pillay. Exactions commises par Jabhat al-Nusra et par l'EIIL Zones sous contrôle kurde
