Living in an Eco Village and Living Sustainably

FunWritings

People who want to be closer to nature, growing their own food and living sustainably

Reduce their impact on the planet and live with others who like living comfortably

Life for the people who are living in eco-villages seem to be so relaxing

They leave the hustle and bustle behind because it is so taxing

Building homes in these Eco Villages can cost less it seems

As people help each other a lot, they all make a plan to become a team

Living off the grid and eating organic food is not for everyone

But there are people who retire and think living like this is a good decision

Some of them are tired of the long drive to go home after work

And maybe they had a boss who would always act like a jerk

Unmasked Police Officers Remove a Subway Rider After He Confronts Them – The New York Times (Me: Abuse of authority and just plain stupid!)

A New York City police officer grabs a male commuter by his jacket and pushes him through an emergency exit door at a subway station in Manhattan, video posted to social media shows. “You’re being disruptive,” the officer tells him.

The man in the 35-second video clip — which has garnered more than one million views and ushered in a fresh wave of criticism of the police — said in an interview that the confrontation erupted when he asked the officer and his partner to put on masks.

Andrew Gilbert, 27, said he had just gotten off the train on his way to work at around 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday when he approached two officers at the Eighth Street subway station in Manhattan who were not wearing masks and asked them to put them on, in accordance with the rules.

The M.T.A. requires masks to be worn inside subway stations and on trains, and the Police Department requires officers to wear face coverings in public transit settings.

“The male officer sort of started playing dumb with me, saying, like, “I can’t hear what you’re saying through your mask,” Mr. Gilbert said on Wednesday.

The back-and-forth continued for about a minute, Mr. Gilbert said, before the officer shoved him about 80 feet backward and pushed him out of the exit door. “If you’re not going to ride the train, just get out,” Mr. Gilbert said the officer told him.

Two Individuals Sentenced for Providing “Bulletproof Hosting” for Cybercriminals | OPA | Department of Justice

On June 28 and Oct. 20, Chief Judge Denise Page Hood of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan sentenced Pavel Stassi, 30, of Estonia, to 24 months in prison; and Aleksandr Skorodumov, 33, of Lithuania, to 48 months in prison, for their roles in the scheme.

According to court documents, Stassi and Skorodumov were members of a bulletproof hosting organization founded and led by two co-defendants, Aleksandr Grichishkin and Andrei Skvortsov, both 34 and of Russia. The group rented IP addresses, servers, and domains to cybercriminal clients who employed this technical infrastructure to disseminate malware used to gain access to victims’ computers, form botnets, and steal banking credentials for use in frauds. Malware hosted by the organization included Zeus, SpyEye, Citadel, and the Blackhole Exploit Kit, which attacked U.S. companies and financial institutions between 2009 and 2015 and caused or attempted to cause millions of dollars in losses to U.S. victims. The defendants also helped their clients evade detection by law enforcement and continue their crimes uninterrupted by monitoring sites used to blocklist technical infrastructure used for crime, moving “flagged” content to new infrastructure, and registering all such infrastructure under false or stolen identities.
