My Q&A with Laura Poitras about Bill Binney
Posted on December 26, 2013 by juliaangwin	— No Comments ↓
In the course of reporting my Wall Street Journal article about NSA whistleblower Bill Binney, I interviewed filmmaker Laura Poitras about her relationship with Binney and how it led to her meeting Edward Snowden. Here is a transcript of our exchange:
Q: What sparked your first interest in Bill Binney?
A: I first learned about Bill in 2011 from Jane Mayer's New Yorker story on NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake. The article focused on the government's effort to prosecute Tom under the Espionage Act. In the article, Bill went on the record for the first time in order to defend Tom. He said something that really struck me – he wanted to apologize to the American people for helping build tools now being used to spy on them.
I got Bill's phone number after reading the article, but it took me a few days to call him. I knew I couldn't call a former top level NSA crypto-mathematician turned whistleblower without flipping a switch. When I finally called, Bill said something like: "Yes, I'll speak to you. I'm sick and tired of my government breaking the law and harassing me."
I imagine that conversation is sitting in a data repository somewhere.
Q: At the time that you reached out to Bill, it was difficult to substantiate the allegations he was making. What made him credible to you?
A: There was no question about Bill's position in the NSA. By all accounts, he was a legendary mathematician. His eyewitness account of what happened after 9/11 is very compelling and supported by other reports.
I met Bill on the eve of Tom's trial in 2011. Bill was eager to testify in Tom's defense because he wanted to be placed under oath and tell the court what he knew about STELLARWIND – NSA's post 9/11 domestic spying program. Bill didn't get the opportunity to testify because the government reduced the charges against Tom from espionage (and 35 years in prison), to a misdemeanor.
I think Bill is still hoping to testify under oath someday.
Q: You published your op-doc about Binney "The Program" on August 22, 2012. What prompted you to break off the piece about Binney and publish it prior to your film being completed?
A: I decided to make "The Program" for a couple reasons: First, Bill's health was bad and I didn't know how long he'd be with us. He had taken so many risks to speak out that I felt an urgency to make public his warnings. Second, the FISA Amendments Acts (FAA), was up for renewal in December 2012, and there was little public debate or interest about the bill and its renewal. For these two reasons, I felt the story couldn't wait for me to finish the longer film, so I approached the NYT to make the short op-doc.
Q: Is it correct that Edward Snowden reached out to you because of the Binney documentary?
A: I can't speak for Snowden's decision-making process, but he did tell me he learned of my interest in NSA surveillance from the op-doc I made about Bill.
My Q&A with Edward Snowden about Binney and Big Data
While reporting my Wall Street Journal article about NSA whistleblower Bill Binney, I posed some questions to Edward Snowden. Here is our exchange, which was fielded by his legal counsel, Ben Wizner at the ACLU:
Q: In a June Q&A with the Guardian, you were asked about the treatment of Binney and Drake, and you replied "these draconian responses simply build better whistleblowers." Can you elaborate on what you learned from the treatment of Binney and how it has informed your actions?
Snowden: I have tremendous respect for Binney, who did everything he could according to the rules. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for highlighting how the Intelligence Community punishes reporting abuses within the system. If you stay quiet and keep your eyes forward, you'll be taken care of, even if you lie to Congress. If you buck the system, you find armed agents in your bathroom.
Q: One of the points that Binney makes is that not only is dragnet surveillance harmful to civil liberties, but it also overwhelms the NSA analysts who have to sift through it, weakening our intelligence apparatus. Do you agree with that argument?
Snowden: I do. Mass surveillance causes us to miss events like the Boston Bombings because analysts are distracted by low-effort analysis of endless and unfocused chatter rather than the focused, targeted investigation of things like tipoffs from partners. When your working process every morning starts with poking around a haystack of 7 billion innocent lives, you're going to miss things like that. We're blinding our people with data we don't need and it puts us at risk.
NSA Struggles to Make Sense of Flood of Surveillance Data
By Julia Angwin
LAUSANNE, Switzerland— William Binney, creator of some of the computer code used by the National Security Agency to snoop on Internet traffic around the world, delivered an unusual message here in September to an audience worried that the spy agency knows too much.
It knows so much, he said, that it can't understand what it has.
"What they are doing is making themselves dysfunctional by taking all this data," Mr. Binney said at a privacy conference here.
The agency is drowning in useless data, which harms its ability to conduct legitimate surveillance, claims Mr. Binney, who rose to the civilian equivalent of a general during more than 30 years at the NSA before retiring in 2001. Analysts are swamped with so much information that they can't do their jobs effectively, and the enormous stockpile is an irresistible temptation for misuse.
Mr. Binney's warning has gotten far less attention than legal questions raised by leaks from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about the agency's mass collection of information around the world. Those revelations unleashed a re-examination of the spy agency's aggressive tactics.

U.S. Terrorism Agency to Tap a Vast Database of Citizens
Top U.S. intelligence officials gathered in the White House Situation Room in March to debate a controversial proposal. Counterterrorism officials wanted to create a government dragnet, sweeping up millions of records about U.S. citizens—even people suspected of no crime.
Counterterrorism officials wanted to create a government dragnet, sweeping up millions of records about U.S. citizens-even people suspected of no crime.
Not everyone was on board. "This is a sea change in the way that the government interacts with the general public," Mary Ellen Callahan, chief privacy officer of the Department of Homeland Security, argued in the meeting, according to people familiar with the discussions.
A week later, the attorney general signed the changes into effect.
Through Freedom of Information Act requests and interviews with officials at numerous agencies, The Wall Street Journal has reconstructed the clash over the counterterrorism program within the administration of President Barack Obama. The debate was a confrontation between some who viewed it as a matter of efficiency—how long to keep data, for instance, or where it should be stored—and others who saw it as granting authority for unprecedented government surveillance of U.S. citizens.
New Tracking Frontier: Your License Plates
Posted on September 29, 2012 by juliaangwin	— No Comments ↓
For more than two years, the police in San Leandro, Calif., photographed Mike Katz-Lacabe's Toyota Tercel almost weekly. They have shots of it cruising along Estudillo Avenue near the library, parked at his friend's house and near a coffee shop he likes. In one case, they snapped a photo of him and his two daughters getting out of a car in his driveway.
Mr. Katz-Lacabe isn't charged with, or suspected of, any crime. Local police are tracking his vehicle automatically, using cameras mounted on a patrol car that record every nearby vehicle—license plate, time and location.
"Why are they keeping all this data?" says Mr. Katz-Lacabe, who obtained the photos of his car through a public-records request. "I've done nothing wrong."
Until recently it was far too expensive for police to track the locations of innocent people such as Mr. Katz-Lacabe. But as surveillance technologies decline in cost and grow in sophistication, police are rapidly adopting them. Private companies are joining, too. At least two start-up companies, both founded by "repo men"—specialists in repossessing cars or property from deadbeats—are currently deploying camera-equipped cars nationwide to photograph people's license plates, hoping to profit from the data they collect.
The rise of license-plate tracking is a case study in how storing and studying people's everyday activities, even the seemingly mundane, has become the default rather than the exception. Cellphone-location data, online searches, credit-card purchases, social-network comments and more are gathered, mixed-and-matched, and stored in vast databases.

The Wall Street Journal analyzed 100 of the most used applications that connect to Facebook's social-networking platform to see what data they sought from people. The Journal also tested its own Facebook app, WSJ Social. See the apps tested by the Journal, along with the permissions they ask users to grant them.
Selling You on Facebook
Many popular Facebook apps are obtaining sensitive information about users—and users' friends—so don't be surprised if details about your religious, political and even sexual preferences start popping up in unexpected places.
A Wall Street Journal examination of 100 of the most popular Facebook apps found that some seek the email addresses, current location and sexual preference, among other details, not only of app users but also of their Facebook friends

Not so long ago, there was a familiar product called software. It was sold in stores, in shrink-wrapped boxes. When you bought it, all that you gave away was your credit card number or a stack of bills.
Now there are "apps"—stylish, discrete chunks of software that live online or in your smartphone. To "buy" an app, all you have to do is click a button. Sometimes they cost a few dollars, but many apps are free, at least in monetary terms. You often pay in another way. Apps are gateways, and when you buy an app, there is a strong chance that you are supplying its developers with one of the most coveted commodities in today's economy: personal data.

The Surveillance Catalog allows readers to peruse secret marketing materials published by companies that make tracking equipment.
Documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal open a rare window into a new global market for the off-the-shelf surveillance technology that has arisen in the decade since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The techniques described in the trove of 200-plus marketing documents include hacking tools that enable governments to break into people's computers and cellphones, and "massive intercept" gear that can gather all Internet communications in a country.

Judges Weigh Phone Tracking
Posted on November 9, 2011 by juliaangwin	— No Comments ↓
State and federal authorities follow the movements of thousands of Americans each year by secretly monitoring the location of their cellphones, often with little judicial oversight, in a practice facing legal challenges.
Electronic tracking, used by police to investigate such crimes as drug dealing and murder, has become as routine as "looking for fingerprint evidence or DNA evidence," said Gregg Rossman, a prosecutor in Broward County, Fla.
The use of cellphone tracking by authorities is among the most common types of electronic surveillance, exceeding wiretaps and the use of GPS tracking, according to a survey of local, state and federal authorities by The Wall Street Journal.

Koblenz-Immendorf ist ein rechtsrheinischer Höhenstadtteil der Stadt Koblenz am Mittelrhein in Rheinland-Pfalz.

Neugliederung

Der Stadtteil ging aus der selbstständigen Gemeinde Immendorf hervor, die am 7. Juni 1969 mit dem Nachbarort Arenberg zur Gemeinde Arenberg-Immendorf fusionierte. Auf Anordnung der rheinland-pfälzischen Landesregierung vom 20. April 1970 wurde die Gemeinde Arenberg-Immendorf am 7. November 1970 in die Stadt Koblenz (als Stadtteile Koblenz-Arenberg und Koblenz-Immendorf) eingegliedert.

Geschichte

Über das Alter von Immendorf lassen sich bisher aufgrund von Boden- oder sonstigen Funden keinerlei Aussagen treffen. Eher lassen sich aus dem Namen Immendorf des heutigen Koblenzer Stadtteils Rückschlüsse auf seine Entstehung ziehen. Die Endung -dorf findet sich vielfach bei Orten im Mittelrheingebiet und verweist auf eine Entstehung und Eingliederung in den fränkischen Staatsverband bis zum 6. Jahrhundert n. Chr.

Das Fränkische Reich war in Gaue untergliedert. Immendorf gehört zum Engersgau, der sich von Unkel im Norden bis zur Lahn im Süden erstreckte und dort an den Niederlahngau grenzte. Im Jahr 790 vermachte Karl der Große der Abtei Prüm Ländereien im Engers- und im Niederlahngau. Es wird vermutet, dass die Abtei Prüm um 880 Ländereien tauschte, die sie nahezu hundert Jahre zuvor von Karl dem Großen als Geschenk erhalten hatte. Im Rahmen eines solchen Landtausches, den die Abtei mit dem Grafen Ruotger unternahm, wird erstmals der Name "Immendorf" als "Ibingdorf" in einem Dokument erwähnt. König Ludwig III. beurkundete im Jahre 880 diesen Tausch. Die am 23. März 880 in Frankfurt ausgestellte Urkunde existiert nicht mehr im Original. Aber es gibt noch eine Abschrift dieser Urkunde aus dem Liber aureus, dem goldenen Buch von Prüm, die wohl spätestens um 1100 angefertigt wurde. Diese Abschrift befindet sich heute in der Stadtbibliothek Trier und belegt die mindestens 1100-jährige Geschichte dieses Koblenzer Stadtteils.

In den folgenden Jahrhunderten wird der Ort Immendorf (oder Eymentorff und Imendorf) in verschiedenen Urkunden erwähnt. Aus dem vorliegenden Material lässt sich aber keine durchgängige Geschichte des Ortes ableiten.

In Immendorf besaßen verschiedene Herrschaften größeren Landbesitz. Neben der Abtei Prüm besaß die Abtei Herford, die 868 von König  Ludwig dem Deutschen der Herrenhof Overanberg (Arenberg) als Schenkung erhalten hatte. Auch die Helfensteiner, die ursprünglich das Meieramt für dieses Hofgut innehatten, treten später als Grund- und Gerichtsherren in Immendorf in Erscheinung. Auch die Koblenzer Steuerbehörde verfügte über Besitz in Immendorf. 1211/1214 hatte Immendorf an den Koblenzer Königshof, den Heinrich II. dem Trierer Erzbischof Poppo von Babenberg geschenkt hatte, Sachgüter (Hafer, Hühner) und Dienste zu entrichten. Die Trierer Erzbischöfe waren zeitweise auch direkte Besitzer von Gütern in Immendorf. Ab 1692 hatte das Kloster Herford dem Trierer Kurfürsten die Oberhoheit über die Besitzungen verkauft. Immendorf wurde auf diese Weise kurtrierisches Lehen.

Auf dem Dorfplatz wurde um 1675 die Kapelle zum heiligen Erasmus errichtet, die 1891 völlig erneuert wird. Das Patronat geht auf die 1938–1940 errichtete Filialkirche St. Erasmus über, die alte Kapelle wurde 1945 abgerissen.

Wesentliche territoriale Änderungen brachte die Französische Revolution auch für Immendorf mit sich. Die Fürsten von Nassau-Usingen, Nassau-Weilburg und Wied-Runkel mussten im Frieden von Lunéville ihre linksrheinischen Besitzungen an Frankreich abtreten. Sie wurden dafür mit rechtsrheinischen Gebieten entschädigt. So erhielt Fürst Friedrich Wilhelm von Nassau-Weilburg durch den Reichsdeputationshauptschluss vom 25. Februar 1803 den auf dem rechten Rheinufer gelegenen Teil von Kurtrier. Es wurde eine nassauische Regierung in Ehrenbreitstein eingerichtet, die auch Immendorf verwaltete.

Per Vertrag trat Nassau am 31. Mai 1815 die Gemeinden Immendorf, Neudorf (heute zu Niederberg), Arenberg, Ehrenbreitstein mit den Mühlen Arzheim, Pfaffendorf und Horchheim an Preußen ab. Nassau behielt vom Amt Ehrenbreitstein die Gemeinden Arzbach, Kadenbach, Neuhäusel, Eitelborn und Simmern, die jetzt dem Amt Montabaur zugeordnet wurden.

Ab 1815 kann von Immendorf im verwaltungsmäßigen Sinn von einer selbstständigen Gemeinde gesprochen werden.

1825 wurden offiziell die lehnsrechtlichen Bindungen der Immendorfer Ländereien aufgehoben. Durch sukzessiven Kauf dieser Parzellen durch Immendorfer Bürger wurden diese Ländereien in freies Eigentum überführt.

Um einer bevorstehenden Eingliederung der Gemeinde in die Stadt Koblenz aufgrund der rheinland-pfälzischen Verwaltungsreorganisation zu entgehen,  bildete die Gemeinde Immendorf zusammen mit dem Nachbarort Arenberg  am 7. Juni 1969 die gemeinsame Gemeinde Arenberg-Immendorf.  Am 20. April 1970 verfügte die Landesregierung von Rheinland-Pfalz die Eingliederung von Arenberg-Immendorf in die Stadt Koblenz. Die letzte Sitzung des Gemeinderates fand am 5. November 1970 statt, ehe die Eingliederung in die Stadt Koblenz am 7. November 1970 vollzogen wurde.

Wappen

Das Wappen von Immendorf enthält oben im geteilten Schild neun blaue Lilien auf goldenem Hintergrund und im unteren Bereich einen Bienenkorb, in den vier Bienen (Immen) einfliegen. Immendorf gehörte lange Zeit zur Herrschaft Müllenbach der Herren von Helfenstein. Aus deren Wappen sind die vier Lilien im oberen Teil des Wappens entlehnt. Der Bienenkorb dagegen weist auf die volkstümliche Deutung des Namens "Immendorf" als Ort der Imker und Bienen hin.

Ortsname
Das Toponym "Immendorf" besteht aus den beiden Bestandteilen "Imme" und "Dorf". Man hält es nicht für unmöglich, dass das Bestimmungswort "Imme" Biene bedeutet. Imme (Biene) heißt im Althochdeutschen "imbe". Hierher könnte der in der Königsurkunde erwähnte Ortsname "Ibingdorf" abgeleitet werden. Andere Forscher halten aber eine Ableitung von dem Personennamen "Immo" (Irmino, Ermino) für wahrscheinlicher. Somit bedeutete Immendorf die Siedlung oder das Dorf des Immo.

Politik
Für die Stadtteile Immendorf und Arenberg wurde ein gemeinsamer Ortsbezirk gebildet, der von einem Ortsbeirat und einem Ortsvorsteher vertreten wird. Weitere Informationen finden sich unter Arenberg und den Ergebnissen der Kommunalwahlen in Koblenz.

Verkehrsanbindung
Immendorf ist an die Regionalbuslinie 460 (Koblenz Hbf-Koblenz Zentralplatz-Koblenz Ehrenbreitstein-Neuhäusel-Montabaur) sowie die Stadtbuslinie 9 (Koblenz Hbf-Koblenz Zentralplatz-Koblenz Arenberg-Koblenz Immendorf) angeschlossen. Es gilt der Tarif des Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Mosel (VRM).

'Devil's Due' finally hits Philippine theaters this March 19
'Devil's Due' will be finally shown in the Philippines starting March 19, 2014 (Wednesday next week).
This American horror film was released in the US last January 17, and it's going to be shown in the Philippines 2 months later. That's kinda "long-overdue" already, but I'm sure it's gonna be worth the wait for the horror film lovers out there.
Here's the press release for the movie sent to Mykiru by 20th Century Fox Philippines:
"A film about a woman impregnated with...something powerful and evil, and dealing with horrific consequences is the "Devil's Due."
In "Devil's Due", a young couple, Zach McCall (Zach Gilford) and Samantha (Allison Miller) is about to tie the knot. A bright future lies ahead for them - and after an emotional wedding ceremony, they take off for a honeymoon in the sun-kissed Dominican Republic. Their trip takes a bizarre turn after an uncomfortable session with a psychic, who ominously warns the couple that "he has been waiting." More than a little taken aback by the encounter, Zach and Sam find themselves lost on some dark and empty streets when they finally find a cab driver, who insists on driving them to a subterranean bar for an "autentico" Dominican Republic
experience. Then, things get really unsettling.
Sam and Zach soak up the unusual surroundings - as well as copious quantities of alcohol. Along the way, fleeting glimpses of disturbing images accompany them from the revelry: a heap of bones, a grinning skull, a hideous flash of a limp and bloody female body, muffled
voices...and a low, insistent chanting. Flash forward to the next morning. The newlyweds remember little of the previous night's events. Shortly after their return home, Sam learns she is pregnant. Despite the surprising news, the couple makes plans for an addition to their new family.
Soon, however, disturbing clues emerge that their situation is anything but normal: an ultrasound exam and amniocentesis take a
troubling turn; on a grocery shopping expedition, Sam, a vegetarian, crams raw, bloody meat into her mouth; in a shopping mall parking lot, she cracks the rear window of a car with a strength and ferocity that doesn't seem possible for a woman several months pregnant; and her belly seems to stretch and contort, as if the baby is pushing from the inside with extreme force.
Along with the scares, the filmmakers focus on the two lead characters. "The style of the movie allows you to be involved in the relationship between Zach and Sam in a really intimate and almost
voyeuristic way," says director Bettinelli-Olpin. "And we wanted to own the pregnancy from the start; we didn't want to hide it and make you wait. So, the scene where Sam is impregnated is about 15 minutes into the movie." Casting the two leads was a key element in the filmmakers' goal to bring audiences into Sam and Zach's world and their increasingly dire circumstances. Zach Gilford's "everyman" likability - so evident in his signature role as high school football quarterback Matt Saracen in the acclaimed TV series Friday Night Lights - is on full display in "Devil's
Due." And, says Gillett, "Allison Miller was one of the first people we auditioned, and she blew us away. We just fell in love with her, and with Zach; it never feels like they're acting."
Filmed on location in the Dominican Republic, at Carnivale
and various other sites, including a nightclub in a ruined catacomb, where Zach and Sam spend the fateful final night of their honeymoon, the
production then moved to New Orleans, where most of principal photography took place.
Directing quartet Radio Silence embraced the typical scheduling constrains that befall some genre fare shot with "guerilla-style" filmmaking. "We felt like we had an abundance of time and money, just based on the films we've made in the past," says Gillett. "The biggest challenge was getting people on board for how we wanted to make the movie. "So it was more about giving everyone the sense that we're a part of this together, so let's jump in and have fun with it."
Still, no amount of experimentation could address some of the unexpected challenges during production, including a tornado that blew through the church set, which not only had the production scrambling to reschedule the day's shoot, but had the cast and crew hiding in the building's stairwells to avoid the fearsome winds.
Later, there was a fire - on the same set. "Just the fact that it was happening in a church, and we're making a movie about the Anti-Christ, was just kind of creepy," says Bettinelli-Olpin. "To this day, it makes me smile every time I think about it."
"Devil's Due" opens March 19 in theaters from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

Maintenance can be the scariest thing of all without proper knowledge and technique. One must invest the proper time and energy to understand the best mechanism to perform any task. There is a how to do for every task starting from the easiest to the most complex task. Following the right way will make the task easy and it will also save valuable assets like time. Otherwise, things can appear to be boring and unpleasant even to get started.
Fishing is very entertaining though some people find it extremely addictive too. Addictive or not the amount of pleasure it has to offer is nothing compared to anything else. It offers you to get close to nature and enjoy the wildness altogether.
Everything comes with a certain cost and the same is true for fishing too. The best fishing tool provides the best fishing experience. The spinning reel is one of the delicate and most important parts of your fishing tools. A wisely chosen spinning reel has the power to redefine your fishing experience. A brand new tool offers the best services that everyone desires. In order to keep the tool in its best shape, you must learn to properly maintain the tool especially something that is complex like the spinning reel. Proper maintenance will enable you to enjoy a brand new fishing reel for many years without any inconvenience and of course, it will save you money too.
There are different kinds of spinning reel that you can buy from the market. The minimum knowledge to understand your tool is something you must have. The design does not usually differ much, but every manufacturer has their own design pattern. It also has some basic difference for the water type that it is made for. The salty water build and the normal water build must be treated differently. You should break the whole maintenance into several parts, this will make things easier for you and more meaningful.
Finish the work at one shot.
Your spinning reel comes with a manual. It has every single information you need to know about the particular build. You must study about every little part so that you do not face any problem while working with it. This will require patience and dedication but once you are done with the process it will build huge confidence in you for the perfect maintenance of your fishing reel.
You may not find it very pleasing to go through the whole manual, but it is certainly worth the effort. Without this effort you may be able to easily dismantle the fishing reel, but find yourself helpless while assembling it. The condition may become worse in case you misplace any part and force to fit it there. This may eventually damage the whole fishing reel without you even realizing the damage. So being precautious here can save a lot of trouble.
This is pretty much everything to get started. Once you have gathered them you can start the main part.
Investing enough time will make sure you have the best standard of the maintenance work. If you rush through the process, then it will not only hamper the quality of your work but also include the risk of damaging your spinning reel. During the assembling part take more time to ensure the best result.
Human beings are created in a way to focus on a single task and perform it properly but we all believe that we can multitask. Multitasking slows the process of the works that we engage ourselves and also sacrifices the quality of the work. Liberate yourself from the wrong idea of multitasking and focus on a single task. Make sure you are not distracted during the process and complete the task at one sitting. Multiple sitting may lead you in such situation where you do not remember the state of your work and mess the whole thing up. You must avoid this mess at any cost.
It is time to get your hands dirty and do the real work. The above-mentioned steps are equally important because they will make sure you do everything right in this part. So do not let the name of this step confuse you. This step can be further broken down into three main steps like dismantling, cleaning and assembling the spinning reel. You must ensure the perfect amount of concentration while doing these steps.
During the dismantling, session make sure you do not lose any part. Make a list or an order to keep the parts in front of you. This will keep every little parts in check and guarantee that you do not end up losing them or misplacing them while finishing up the work. After properly dismantling the Best spinning reel start the cleaning part. Clean the whole thing thoroughly to get the best result. Apply your knowledge while cleaning the fishing reel. The design of the fishing reel ensures that no metal parts touch each other.
They are designed to touch fabrics and this design increases the lifetime of the product. Use custom lubricants while cleaning the gear and the bearings. Clean them one by one. Do not use any harmful substance while cleaning it, for example, gasoline. This will gradually damage the whole thing that you don't intend to do at all. Finally, it is time to put everything back together. If you have done everything as instructed, then this will just be a piece of cake for you. That was everything you needed to know to enjoy your spinning reel just like a brand new one and of course to use it for an extended long period of time.


They also reflect rogue Israeli leadership threatening humanity. More on that below.
Gaza remains isolated and besieged. Its health minister said the lives of 404 kidney failure patients are threatened. Enough dialysis "Bloodline" supplies aren't available.
Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf Al-Qudra said without them, dialysis machines stop. Patients need treatment two - three times weekly. Without it they'll die.
Supplies are nearly exhausted. Around 150 patients are treated daily.
"When supplies run out, clinics will shut down and dozens of patients will face serious deterioration in their health conditions," said Al-Qudra. "Their lives will be the tax they pay for this 6-year long Israeli siege imposed on Gaza."
He appealed to the ICRC and WHO, as well as local and other international aid and humanitarian organizations for help. Time is running out.
Israel's prison gulag remains a moral outrage. Deal or no deal, appalling abuses continue daily.
In April, Defence for Children International/Palestine Section (DCI-P) said children imprisoned increased 63% since December.
An urgent appeal for Beit Ummar, West Bank youths was issued. Children young as nine are affected.
Nine-year old Mahmoud A. was arrested, detained, traumatized, then released. Twelve year old Jameel Z. was arrested, detained, abused, and bogusly accused of throwing stones.
Middle-of-the night apprehensions are common. Children are traumatized. Parents are tormented. Anything can happen and often does. Many children face prison, fines or both.
Beit Ummar lies halfway between Bethlehem and Hebron. It's about three kilometers south of Gush Etzion and adjacent Karmi Zur settlements. Each Friday, demonstrations protest against being denied access to their farms.
Children participate with parents and older youths. Middle-of-the-night arrests and baseless charges follow. Since January 2009, DCI-P documented 26 child arrests for alleged stone-throwing from Beit Hummar alone.
Overall UN figures show 43 in 2010 and another 27 through February 2011.
Virtually all targeted children report arrest-connected physical violence. Harsh interrogations follow. Most face prosecutions and detentions.
Each year, 500 - 700 West Bank children (aged 12 - 17 or younger) are arrested, interrogated, prosecuted, and detained. Since 2000, around 7,500 were affected on largely bogus or exaggerated charges. Stone-throwing is most common. Imagine facing prison for something this minor, whether or not true.
"Credible reports of torture and/or ill-treatment" follow. Torment begins from arrest. Children are awakened, shackled, blindfolded and abused. Parents aren't told where they're taken. They're denied visitation rights.
Prolonged mistreatment includes exposure to the elements, lack of food, water and toilet facilities, verbal abuse and physical violence, as well as isolation with no parental or legal contacts.
Interrogation techniques include physical abuse, mental torment, and pressure to confess, or else. Intimidated children plead guilty. It's the quickest way out of their ordeal.
An April 2012 DCI-P report is titled "Bound, Blindfolded and Convicted: Children in military detention."
It discussed 311 documented cases from time of arrest through prosecution. Within days of apprehension, children face military tribunals shackled, traumatized, and terrified. Despite their innocence, most plead guilty to end their ordeal as quickly as possible.
Within days of arrests, they're detained in Israeli prisons. Doing so violates international law. So does torture and other abuse.
Family visits are denied. So is legal counsel until close to initial court appearances. Sometimes, it's hours or less before proceedings begin.
DCI-P disclosed a systematic pattern of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Torture is routinely used. Effective complaint mechanisms are absent. Arrested children are guilty by accusation. So are virtually all Palestinian detainees.
Common complaints DCI-P heard included shackling, blindfolds, physical violence, detention inside Israel, arrests between midnight and 5:00AM, forced confessions, verbal abuse, humiliation and other threats, strip searches, solitary confinement, and more.
Under this type abuse, adults struggle to cope. Imagine the effect on children.
Nations treating them this abusively don't hesitate dispensing appalling treatment to anyone, in or out of prison, domestically or abroad.
Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners sustained hunger strikes for justice. Deal agreements left Israel wiggle room to systematically violate provisions early on or later.
Mahmoud Sarsak, Akram al-Rikhawi, and Mohammad Abdul Aziz continue striking. They refused terms they consider unacceptable. Sarsak wants POW recognition. Al-Rikhawi protests against administrative detention uncharged.
Redress won't come until thousands of lawlessly held political prisoners are freed, occupation ends, and Palestinian sovereignty is universally recognized.
Israeli prisons replicate Guantanamo harshness. Deal or no deal, they won't change enough to matter unless current abuses end entirely. A system practicing guilt by accusation, torture, ill-treatment, and humiliation to young children on baseless charges reflects one too abusive to tolerate.
Israel's Military Order 378 grants extraordinary powers to tribunals and judges. Defendants haven't a chance. Numerous other military orders criminalize ordinary daily life. Military occupation denies due process and judicial fairness. Virtually everyone charged is guilty by accusation.
Daily life in Palestinian communities reflect other common abuses. Israel chooses violence over peaceful coexistence, confrontation over diplomacy, and strength through militarism, intimidation, and lawless aggression.
Wars of choice, not necessity, are waged. Longstanding policies are racist and discriminatory. Land theft is policy.
On May 18, a new project was announced. Around 2,100 housing units are planned on stolen Palestinian land. Qalqiliya and Tulkarem governorates are affected.
Ariel settlement will expand in two phases. Palestinian towns and villages are affected. They include Azzoun, Jinsafut, Baket AlHatab, Ozba, Abu Hamada, and Kafr Aboush.
Other West Bank and East Jerusalem settlements expand daily, gradually and quietly. Israel wants all valued parts of Judea and Samaria, as well as Jerusalem for its exclusive capital. Palestinians are denied, abused, and shut out.
Netanyahu is a world class criminal. He wages wars at home and abroad. His Justice Ministry proposed a new bill to expand police state surveillance. He wants cell phones and emails monitored. Privacy advocates are outraged.
The bill almost doubles the number of state agencies given access to personal data when conducting investigations or monitoring Israelis and Palestinians for specific reasons or none at all.
Violating personal privacy reflects police state harshness. America's done it for years. Israel wants to replicate the worst FBI and other US agency abuses.
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel and Israel Bar Association called earlier Big Brother legislation excessive. Unjustifiable intrusions followed. Netanyahu wants more and may get it.
He also may wage war on Iran. He calls its peaceful nuclear program "the paramount issue of our time." He claims ongoing negotiations a "chess game." It buys Tehran time, he said.
"....I see no evidence whatsoever that Iran is serious about ending its nuclear program."
Why should it? It's peaceful. It complies with Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty provisions. No evidence suggests otherwise. In contrast, Israel is a nuclear outlaw. It's armed and dangerous. It maintains stockpiles of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. It threatens to use them if endangered.
Washington's Israeli envoy, Dan Shapiro, said US plans to attack Iran are "fully available" either alone or jointly with Israel.
Shapiro said what Netanyahu wants to hear. America "guarantee(s) that the military option is ready and available to the president at the moment he decides to use it."
"Ready" doesn't mean bombs away, but suggests war remains an option. Baseless allegations are made. Evidence disproves them. Media scoundrels regurgitate official lies. Facts are ignored.
World peace hangs by a thread. Hawkish leaders hold nuclear triggers. Imagine if they squeeze. Imagine what's next if they do.
Obama and Netantanyu are war criminals multiple times over. Perhaps they want their resumes embellished. Millions globally want imperial wars ended.
Nuclear weapons use should scare everyone. The possibility of ending human life is "the paramount issue of our time."
Netanyahu said it right but pointed fingers the wrong way. Global peace actions can reverse things responsibly. That's how real change begins. Hopefully it'll gain traction in time.


The proposal – part of a larger call to beef up funding for early education programs in the state – is listed as one of seven priorities identified in a "budget blueprint" for next year prepared by the California State Assembly Democratic Caucus. The blueprint guides the Assembly as it works with the governor and the Senate to craft a state budget for fiscal year 2014-15. The early education portion of the proposal also calls for strengthening early care programs for infants and toddlers. In an era when Democrats do not need Republican support to pass a budget, the proposal potentially carries significant weight.
Transitional kindergarten was offered for the first time in nearly every school district during the 2012-13 school year as an extra grade level for children who turn five during the first three months of the school year and are too young for traditional kindergarten. When the program is fully implemented next fall, only about a quarter of the state's children will be eligible to participate, based on the current age restrictions.
In contrast, the Democratic Caucus's proposal would open transitional kindergarten to any child who turns 4 by Sept. 1.
While the proposal is still in very preliminary stages – there's not even an estimated price tag yet – early education advocates say it's significant that early education is being given prominence in early budget discussions. Increasing funding for higher education is the only other education initiative outlined in the blueprint; no K-12 initiatives are mentioned.
"To have the Assembly Democrats state (early education) as a priority raises its visibility and underlines the support for this," said Deborah Kong, vice president of policy for Early Edge California, an advocacy group for early childhood initiatives.
Early education suffered badly during the recession, losing $1 billion and 100,000 spots for children in publicly funded child care and preschool programs. Some of those dollars and spots were restored in the 2013-14 budget, but the state's preschool program for children under 5 from low-income families is still smaller and less well-funded than it was before the recession.
Expanding transitional kindergarten would be a worthwhile investment in the state's future, said Muratsuchi, who calls himself a "true believer" in the power of preschool.
"This fits into our ongoing strategy (of making) more constructive investments in our children with the long-term goal of trying to reduce our prison expenditures," Muratsuchi said.
Research has shown that students who attend preschool are more likely to graduate from high school and less likely to end up in jail or on welfare.
Muratsuchi plans to hold hearings on the proposal in early 2014.
Gov. Jerry Brown has not made a statement about the proposal yet, though it already faces some Republican opposition.
Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto, vice-chair of the Budget Subcommittee on Education, said expanding transitional kindergarten shouldn't be a budget priority for the state this year. Olsen said she wishes the state could offer the optional pre-kindergarten program to all 4-year-olds, but doesn't think it's fiscally feasible.
Schools are already working on several major new initiatives over the next two years, Olsen said. School leaders must implement a new set of learning standards, the Common Core State Standards, which call for new, computer-based standardized tests, and re-jigger their budgets to conform with a new state funding system. Adding a universal transitional kindergarten program on top of that would be too much, Olsen said.
Were California to offer a universal public school program for 4-year-olds it would take a giant step toward qualifying for a federally proposed program to offer grants to states providing public preschool. The federal initiative was originally proposed in President Obama's 2014 budget and legislation to create the program has been introduced in Congress by Reps. George Miller, D-Martinez, and Richard Hanna, R-N.Y. in the House and Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Ill., in the Senate.
Early Edge's Kong said she was especially pleased that the Democratic Caucus's budget blueprint included research showing that preschool can have a large impact on children's academic and economic prospects.

The Cosmic Alignment: Experiencing the Oregon Eclipse Festival
Written by: Misha Barshak
They say that it's not the destination but the journey getting there. Well in this case it was both. The entire experience from start to finish was an immersive transformational experience for everyone and awakening for some. What seemed like a journey to another planet turned into a reflection of how our whole world operates and thinks collectively. With over 12 different collaborators,7 stages, 5 elementary alchemy courses,20 zones of enhanced mystery,35 art installations,and 9 spaces within the village. You could say there were a lot of cooks in the kitchen. The schedule looked like a maze, since at every given moment there were at least 3 amazing activities happening simultaneously.Choice had to be made and they were not easy.Not to mention the Eclipse itself and figuring out where you wanted to be during the phenomenon. No wonder there were 75,000 people attending the event. Supposedly marking a milestone for largest migration to a cosmic solar event in our immediate history (200 year.) Not including cosmic catastrophic events that caused a migration due to necessity.
Walking through the grounds felt as though we're all on a different planet. The tree art installations seemed surreal. Some of them looked as though they were taken straight from another planet and placed here for observation and influence. Sculptures,lights,sounds,small critters,birds,nature,wind,water,fire and essence. Mist of essential oils mixed with dirt infused the air and created a earthy tranquil feeling.
The layout of the space was incredible. It was evident that it took designers months if not years to design and organization the layout of the grounds. The space was divided into three main sections. First was the festival contributor side which encompassed all the art installations,zones, and stages. The middle of the space was dedicated to the bountiful and thriving lake in the center. Art boats, floaties,docks even the DeLorean from 'Back to The Future" all used this lake and its glory. Jumping in the lake was the refreshing re-energizing force that gave second wind to everyone who wanted to pull another all nighter to catch a glimpse of nighttime sets of Bassnectar, Shpongle, Beats Antique and more. The third section "One Nation" was the Native American Grounds which was located across the lake.Getting there you had 3 choices. First was to walking across a floating wooden boards,which i tripped on a few times. The second was a bridge which was reliable and stable.The third which took the most amount time was the walk around the entire lake which would take you no less than 30 min. Once across, they had built a special circular wooden structure dedicated for the viewing of the solar eclipse. In the center you find a wooden circular stage, which was used as a sitting area for the elders during the cosmic event unfolding. They had also built 4 pillars with chimes which represented the different phases of the eclipse. (before,during,after and lastly rain, and it did rain)
My favorite music stage was the Earth Stage. It had the best sound system hands down, not to mention that bass! It was perfectly balanced. All you needed to do be present and let the bass roll through your body. Laying on the ground and vibing to the music was an state which many partook in, especially for early morning sets. As long as you were present for Numatics or Kaya's set, bliss was inevitable and the love was contagious. Standing and walking around the main dancing area had lots of artists painting throughout the entire time of the festival. This gave a chance for everyone to notice the raw talent some individuals carry inside of themselves. Watching artist channel art through them pure magic in itself.
Hippies,families,Influencers,artist,ministers,eclipse chasers and many more all decided to venture out to these powerful mystical lands. Emotions were running free and wild. Love,chaos,laughter,crying,sadness,bliss and other emotions all reflected off the lake and set deep into the cosmos. Bring a new meaning to what life is all about. Since we are transitioning into the aquarian age, it was no wonder so many people felt compelled to travel such far distances. All senses being tickled as though there was no disconnect between us,earth and the rest of the universe.

Once you get into debt, you also assume the legal and financial obligation of paying it back. Not only does paying debt on time help improve your credit score, you also eliminate the mental stress associated with it. If you're struggling to hand in your payment on time, here are some tips to help your out.
Record the due date of your bills and debts and place it in strategic places -at your workstation, fridge door or financial diary perhaps. Or, you could write down the debt or bill at the corresponding date in your calendar. The more you see your due dates looming, the more you are reminded to pay it off promptly.
Consider debt payments as expenses and include them in your monthly or weekly budget. You want to make sure that you have the funds to pay for your debts all the time so you don't miss your due dates or struggle to come up with the money at the last minute.
Whatever extra you make, throw it towards debt. This help ensure that you have the funds to pay your debts off without giving up some of the expenses in your budget like shopping or entertainment. Pay off your debts with a larger amount when you get huge commissions or bonuses or earn from your side jobs.
Ask if your lender has a payment automation facility. Take advantage of technology and automate your payments so that you can pay your debts off at a pre-set schedule. For instance if you're to pay personal loans for people with bad credit at the end of each month, you know you're paying your debt on time without having to go to your lender personally. This is really a good way of never missing your payment.
You are incurring debt when you take personal loans for people with bad credit and basically any other form of loan. But you have to be reasonable when you borrow money and make sure it's well within your capacity to pay.
Indeed, there are many ways to always be on top of your debts due dates. Avoid missing your payments so you can save the potential money you pay for late fees as well as have the peace of mind of conquering your debts time after time.


Are protected by male, their role to be.
Not depicting that conduct oh, so shallow.
Why don't adults face up to the truth?
Especially from adults who fight and swear?
Negatives are taught which all impact on life.
Expect not from their children to be here and there.
For our children to be on safer ground?
When breakdown of abuse our goal we'll reach.
Why do you on your spouse you prey?
Abuse and hatred the order of the day.
In absence of that, on your road you should be.
Should have no right and are out of place.
Will surely be what you expect to receive.
Our homes and families have more to be used.
With the help of nature for which we should care.
i love this poetry very nice.

Hi Justina how nicely said in poem form. This is the message that we are trying to pass on to our people – more love, caring, forgiving etc.
Very nicely put together Justina.


If you struggle with slightly misshapen teeth or minor aesthetic blemishes, you may benefit from dental bonding at our Rockville, MD, practice. During this procedure, Dr. Victor R. Siegel can use composite resin to conceal chips, gaps and discoloration. The resin can blend seamlessly with your smile for natural-looking results. Though results can be dramatic, bonding is still a conservative and affordable treatment. Dr. Siegel has years of experience with cosmetic dentistry and can plan a completely customized procedure that will meet or exceed your expectations.
Dental bonding can transform your appearance by concealing a broad range of cosmetic concerns all at once.
Are You a Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding?
Before you can undergo dental bonding, Dr. Siegel will need to address any current oral health problems, such as decay or gum disease. Fortunately, after appropriate care, you may still be an excellent candidate for bonding, even if you have fillings or a history of periodontitis. In addition, because it requires very little alteration of your teeth, you may qualify for bonding, even if you have sustained enamel erosion or some other type of dental damage. However, if dental bonding is not in your bests interests, our team can recommend an alternative treatment to achieve your goals.
What Happens during Cosmetic Bonding?
Before your cosmetic bonding procedure, Dr. Siegel will conduct a complete consultation. Working together, you will create a treatment plan to achieve your specific goals. He can help you select the appropriate options if you would like to combine your treatment with any other cosmetic procedures for dramatic results.
To perform bonding, Dr. Siegel may lightly etch the surface of your teeth using a mild chemical solution. You should not feel nothing during this step, and it will not damage the structure of your teeth. In fact, the etching will not even be visible. Its sole purpose is to increase the surface area of your teeth and ensure a stronger bond for the composite. Dr. Siegel can then coat your tooth in the composite resin bonding material. He will artistically shape the material to achieve the shape and size you desire. Thanks to his expertise, Dr. Siegel can achieve highly lifelike results that will mirror the natural appearance of your smile. When he is finished sculpting the bonding resin, he will use a curing light to harden the composite. Once your tooth is finished, we will polish its surface so that it has a realistic finish and blends with the rest of your smile.
With Dr. Siegel's experience, you can enjoy aesthetic final results after just one easy appointment.
Dental bonding can transform your appearance by concealing a broad range of cosmetic concerns all at once. After treatment, your smile can be brighter and more even. If you are looking into your various cosmetic options, there are many reasons to consider dental bonding. This treatment is quite affordable. If you want to enjoy the effects of porcelain veneers, but are watching your budget, bonding is an affordable alternative. Cosmetic bonding is also non-invasive and is reversible because it does not involve significant alteration of your teeth. In addition, dental bonding is a very efficient, comfortable process. With Dr. Siegel's experience, you can enjoy aesthetic final results after just one easy appointment.
We encourage you to find out if you are a good candidate for bonding and begin designing your custom procedure. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment.

The Fränz & Jaeger provides turnkey systems for industrial image processing and recognition, based on current camera and PC technologys. Priorities are in the field of detection of large, complex, fast-moving objects (2D) and irregular surfaces (3D) in the field of quality assurance and Auto-ID. Here 2D line scan/area scan and 3D camera techniques in the visible light range and in the IR region are used.
Feasibility studies are often the upstream project to ensure success, here Fränz & Jaeger helps with many years of know-how and a network of specialist engineers.
Through years of experience in the field of complex machine vision solutions Fränz & Jaeger is involved in EU projects in the field of machine vision. The EU project PARASOL e.g. had the objective to determine the state of health of cattle automatically. Fränz & Jaeger succeeded by using 3D Time of Flight camera technology and new algorithms to get the body condition score (BSC) and thus the state of health iin a very complex environment.
Typical applications are those where surfaces (plates, continues strip material, pipes, ...) are examined for errors or products in the material flow on quality guidelines. The 3D image processing is very good, for comparative measurements to detect manufacturing defects for products with irregular surfaces. Use of the IBV-object detection in the context of positioning (machines, robots, QA procedures) is another field of application.
Character recognition in addresses is a classic example of an identification of parcels and packages.
A special application for a line scan camera has been realized by us in the receiving area of a great book wholesaler successfuly. Packages are shoot by the camera at a conveyor speed. Software then extracted lables and uses a fully automated (OCR) for reading the text, so that the addressee can be determined.
The new pattern recognition system of Fränz & Jaeger detects objects regardless of the rotational position and lighting.
As of 01 January 2005, food manufacturers and supplier must clearly document which paths have taken his wares. Legal bases for these goods tracking are the International Food Standard (IFS) and the EU Regulation 178/2002.
ESIBS: A system developed by F&J to identify and image archiving of slaughter products. It shoots products with 4 video cameras. The transponder number, slaughter number, date of slaughter is automatically detected with the tattoo and synchronously recorded in the documentation system and stored redundantly.
The data are added to the electronic documentaion file for further processing and controling.
Through use of the latest camera technology and the latest IT technologies, it is possible for us to create complex image processing systems with proven low cost for our clients individually.
Our vision systems usually consist of high-performance industrial PCs, which are connected via a network (GigE, Firewire) with the cameras on site. As digital cameras linescan, area or 3D cameras come in the range of visible light and infrared are used.
The evaluation of raw data is done by an problem specific programm, which uses standard libraries Open-CV , Halcon, piccolor or self develop modules.

Eco-Score: the environmental impact of food products
The Eco-Score is an environmental score (ecoscore) from A to E which makes it easy to compare the impact of food products on the environment.
Why an environmental score?
The Eco-Score, a tool for more sustainable food
What is the Eco-Score?
How is the Eco-Score computed?
The benchmark score: life cycle analysis (LCA) with data from the Agribalyse database
Life cycle assessment (LCA)
Bonuses and penalties to refine the grading of each product
成分來源
An increased need for transparency to better measure and reduce environmental impacts
How to see the Eco-Score for food products?
Scan products with the Open Food Facts app
Compare the Eco-Score of products on the Open Food Facts site
Classify and explore products by Eco-Score on Open Food Facts
Obtain the details of the Eco-Score computation for all products
How the Eco-Score can encourage the improvement of products and the reduction of their environmental impacts
How can we find out more and how can we help us develop the Eco-Score?
More and more consumers are concerned about the impact of their food not only on their health, but also on the health of our planet. Thanks to the Nutri-Score, it is now very easy to take into account the nutritional quality of products when purchasing, but it is very difficult if not impossible to compare their environmental footprint.
It is urgent to provide consumers with clear information about this environmental footprint, so that they can easily and quickly compare it for several products. This is what the Eco-Score environmental grade allows.
The Eco-Score helps consumers who wish to move towards a more sustainable diet, by encouraging them to:
Eat less meat but of better quality
Consume more organic products and products with quality labels
Favor local and seasonal products, with little packaging
Limit products containing problematic ingredients (endangered fish, unsustainable palm oil)
The Eco-Score is designed on a model similar to the Nutri-Score: it is a grade from A to E which summarizes 15 environmental impacts. The Eco-Score score is materialized by a colored leaf-shaped logo with a letter from A (very low impact) to E (very high impact).
The Eco-Score is supported by a consortium of many actors committed to better nutrition.
For each product category, a benchmark score is established using data from the Agribalyse environmental database designed by ADEME and INRAE. These data correspond to the life cycle analysis (LCA) of the products.
Life cycle analysisis a standardized assessment method for carrying out a multi-stage environmental assessment and multi-criteria:
6 production steps: agriculture, processing, packaging, transportation, distribution and consumption
14 environmental impact indicators: climate change/carbon footprint, ozone layer depletion, ionizing radiation, land, water, and energy use; pollution of air and marine and fresh water (particles, acidification, eutrophication); and depletion of resources.
In order to take into account certain impacts on the environment which are not covered well by the life cycle analysis (such as biodiversity) and the specificities of each product within the same category, the score of reference is modulated with bonuses and penalties:
A bonus is awarded to products that have an official label, a label or a certification that guarantees environmental benefits (organic, fair trade, HVE, Label Rouge, Bleu Blanc Cœur, MSC/ASC).
A bonus is awarded based on the origin of the ingredients. This bonus takes into account the impact on transportation and also the environmental policy of each producer's country.
A penalty is given to products that contain ingredients that have significant negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems, such as palm oil, the production of which is responsible for massive deforestation.
A penalty is computed to take into account the circularity of packaging (use of recycled raw material and recyclability) and overpacking.
To accurately calculate the Eco-Score, it is necessary to have information which is not necessarily specified on the packaging (such as the origin and the exact percentage of each ingredient) or which is rarely available in usable form (such as a list of all the components of the packaging with the precise types of plastics used).
Average values are used when this information is not yet available, but we are now calling on everyone to help us collect this information which will be very useful for the Eco-Score but also for many other uses.
Manufacturers can send us their information directly through our free platform for producers.
All citizens can help us gather and structure the information that is present on products or that can be deduced from them, such as information on packaging: Mission Emballages: a large-scale collaborative inventory of packaging for all food products (in French)
The Open Food Facts app allows you to quickly get the Eco-Score of products: all you have to do is scan their barcode. If you have already installed the Open Food Facts app, please update it to get the new version!
The Eco-Score is or will soon be available in the apps of other actions who built the Eco-Score. And Open Food Facts is a Wikipedia of foods that anyone can reuse freely and for free. The more than 100 applications that use the Open Food Facts database will also be able to display the Eco-Score that we calculate.
The Open Food Facts website allows everyone to see and compare the ecoscore of more than 750,000 food products sold in France. The results of each search show the nutritional quality with the Nutri-Score, ultra-processed foods with NOVA, and the environmental impact with the Eco-Score.

It is also possible to sort and explore the products of any category by Eco-Score.
And see at a glance the Eco-Score of the products of a category or a brand.
The Eco-Score of prepared meals. Click to see the products for each grade on Open Food Facts.
For each product, a link allows you to display the complete details of the Eco-Score score computation.
And if information is missing, anyone can add it: the manufacturer of the product but also all citizens committed to the climate, environmental protection and transparency.
The Eco-Score has two levers of action:
The Eco-Score allows a more informed choice of consumers who can now easily take into account the environmental impact of products as a criterion of choice.
The Eco-Score encourages manufacturers to improve their products so that they achieve a higher Eco-Score rating.
This second lever is very important because it allows an overall improvement of the offer and thus reaches all consumers.
The energy rating of household appliances has thus profoundly transformed the offer (try to find a fridge rated E, or even D or C!). And the democratization of Nutri-Score has also encouraged many manufacturers to improve the nutritional quality of their products to obtain a better rating (to the point that some French manufacturers even brag about it on bus stops, such as Brossard for its Savane cake).
To encourage product improvements, our platform for producers automatically analyzes data provided by manufacturers to identify avenues for improvement. The platform thus identifies all the products that would obtain a better Nutri-Score score with a slight change in composition (a reduction in salt of 5% for example).
Soon, the platform will make it possible to suggest ways to reduce the ecological impact and obtain a better Eco-Score (for example by using a more recyclable plastic for packaging, or by replacing palm oil with another oil).
Everyone is welcome to help us create more transparency, educate consumers, and encourage product improvement through Eco-Score.
The Eco-Score is still young and can certainly be improved. Given the climate and environmental emergency, however, it seems important to us to make it available now.
By working together, we will be able to gradually improve the Eco-Score, refine its formula, and gather the data necessary for its computation.
Your feedback, observations and suggestions will therefore be very valuable.
