To assist customers in identifying problems with their site after import, there is a Site Import report that administrative users can access from the Design Manager. The Site Import report provides summary statistics about the site that was imported, including the number of pages, style sheets, and assets. It also identifies the number of internal links that are now managed as a result of the import process. The second section of the Import Report abstracts all of the errors that were found during the import process from the import log. This includes errors such as missing files, images, or documents, or links that could not be created.
The Import Summary is accessible from the main Design menu of your Percussion site. It contains details on import statistics and details related to any missing import content.
The missing import content section of this window will display the first 100 issues from the import report. To download the full Import Report Log open the template for editing and in Layout Mode select Help > Download Import Report Log.
As templates are created, users have the ability to drag unassigned pages that have been imported to specific templates, updating their design in the process.
The Design Inspector provides the ability to examine an HTML widget and determine if it can be broken down into regions based on the <div> structure of the HTML. This provides the ability to import a page and then break it down into editable components within the Percussion CMS. Starting with the outer-most container, the user can break down the pages into rows and columns in order to isolate the sections of the page that will be added to the template and the sections of the page that will be made editable to content contributors.
When an Unassigned page is assigned to a template, the system parses the content in the page and inserts it in the appropriate regions and widgets. For each empty HTML or Rich Text widget on the template, the system uses a series of rules to attempt to find the correct content on the unassigned page to insert into the widget.
These same rules are also applied when the user changes the template that a given page is assigned to. It will attempt to fit the content of the page into the corresponding regions on the template. This greatly reduces the number of steps to change a site design, assuming the new templates will have matching div IDs or class names.

Q: How to get number of all elements in values of dictionary, where is value is a list, give the int number python I have a dictionary where the values are lists, and I would like to know how many elements in lists associated with each key. I've found here this one. But I need total number of elements only for one key. for example for
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> my_dict = {'I': [23,24,23,23,24], 'P': [17,23,23,17,24,12]}
>>> {k: Counter(v) for k, v in my_dict.items()}
{'P': Counter({17: 2, 23: 2, 24: 1, 12: 1}), 'I': Counter({23: 3, 24: 2})}

For example {P:6}, will be better if it give just number, count_elements=5

A: >>> my_dict= {'I':[23,24,23,23,24],'P':[17,23,23,17,24,12]}
>>> {k: len(v) for k, v in my_dict.items()}
{'I': 5, 'P': 6}

A single key is simple:
>>> len(my_dict['P'])
6

As @Joe suggested len(my_dict.get(key, [])) works when a key doesn't exist, which potentially works, but then you can't distinguish between keys with empty lists, and keys that don't exist. You can catch the KeyError  here in that case.

A: This will get the number of values for the given key key. I believe that's what the question asked.
my_dict= {"I":[23,24,23,23,24],"P":[17,23,23,17,24,12]}
number = len(my_dict.get(key, []))

A: Is that what you had in mind?
my_dict= {'I':[23,24,23,23,24],'P':[17,23,23,17,24,12]}
print {k:len(v) for k, v in my_dict.items()}
{'I': 5, 'P': 6}

DENMARK - Synchronisation of gilts with Altresyn allowed more even numbers of matings every week, and this resulted in a more regular flow into the farrowing rooms, better utilisation of farrowing house capacity and more piglets weaned, according to CEVA research.
The ability to introduce a proper number of replacement gilts is essential for batch management to maintain the batch size, regardless it is a weekly or more week batch management system, according to N. Thing of Krogsgård Svineproduktion in Denmark and co-authors from LVK and Ceva in Denmark and Ceva in France.
Having gilts exhibited oestrus at a predicted time simplifies the entry of gilts into the sow group and allows using more efficiently the farrowing facilities.
A SPF 1170 sow farm with weekly farrowing cycle started to practice the synchronisation of gilts using Altresyn® in October 2012. The reason was to avoid weeks with too many weaned piglets due to uneven availability of gilts in heat every week and to unify the age of gilts at first service.
Gilts after observed first estrus were treated 18 days with Altresyn. Farrowings of 42 batches with synchronized gilts were compared with previous 40 batches, when gilts were inseminated in 2nd spontaneous heat. Student's t-test and Bartlett's test were used for the statistical analysis.
Out of 816 gilts treated with Altresyn, 758 were successfully mated (93 per cent) with high rate of synchronisation (89.7 per cent mated within three days). When counted altogether sows and gilts, 94.5 per cent of them were mated in 3 days, compared to 83.5 per cent before. Planned timing of oestrus and mating optimised the age at first service (Figure 1.).
The average number of weekly inseminated gilts increased from 13.2 to 15.3 (p<0.05) and the variability among weeks decreased significantly (p<0.0001).
The statistically significant difference was also for homogeneity of variance before synchronisation and after in terms of weekly served sows and gilts together (p<0.005).
As the result the weekly number of farrowings in batches with synchronised gilts increased from 50.8 to 53.5 (p<0.05) and became more even as well (p<0.05).
Better filled farrowing rooms with less divergence resulted in the increase of 1.2 days of lactation and 27.5 piglets weaned weekly on average (p>0.05). The reproductive performance of P1 sows treated as gilts with Altresyn was similar as before with the conception rate 92.1 per cent and WOI 5.3 days compared to previous results of 91.4 per cent and 7.8 days.
Synchronisation of a planned number of gilts in heat to be introduced into new batches was a challenge for the weekly operating farm.
Synchronisation of gilts with Altresyn allowed more even numbers of matings every week.
Higher homogeneity of the flow into the farrowing rooms improved the utilisation of farrowing units which resulted in higher overall weekly output of piglets.


It was another cold and rainy night in Seattle, but the Shorecrest Performing Arts Center was warm and buzzing with anticipation as families, friends and neighbors filled the auditorium to hear the Cascade Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO) play a concert with the Seattle Symphony.
The opportunity for students to play side-by-side with professional musicians is an important piece of the educational process and an important part of the Seattle Symphony's Community Connections program. Every year, the Symphony performs free Community Concerts in neighborhoods around the greater Seattle area to bring the transformational power of great music to everyone in our community.
The concert on Tuesday, January 26 included a dazzling performance by the young violinist Yesong Sophie Lee of Pablo de Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy. Lee, who made her debut with the Seattle Symphony when she was eight, is a finalist of the Seattle Symphony's Young Artist Auditions.
The program ended with a joint performance of Stravinsky's The Firebird Suite, conducted by Seattle Symphony Assistant Conductor Pablo Rus Broseta. Judging by the smiles we saw in the orchestra, playing the climatic Berceuse and Finale from Stravinsky's The Firebird Suite alongside Seattle Symphony musicians is something the CYSO students will remember for some time!
You will have several opportunities to hear the Seattle Symphony perform in a neighborhood near you at upcoming performances at Seattle City Hall and with the West Seattle Community Orchestra, Garfield High School Orchestra, and Roosevelt High School.
Community and Side-by-Side concerts are made possible with support from 4Culture, the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Symphony donors.
Give now to support the Seattle Symphony's community and education initiatives.


G04382 - Urban ARK 22: Filling the data gaps on every day and disaster risks in cities; the case of Ibadan - pubs.iied.org.
Many cities in sub-Saharan Africa lack official records of deaths and of serious illnesses and injuries from everyday hazards and disaster events at all scales. This is a major limitation to effective planning for risk reduction. This briefing describes how a research team at the University of Ibadan drew on a range of data sources to fill in some glaring official data gaps, including newspaper reports, hospital records and databases of government departments for the period 2000 to 2015. Excluding public health risks for which data are scarce and incomplete, road traffic accidents, crime, violence and flooding constitute the most serious hazards in the city.

World Teachers' Day: Celebrating heroes who make a difference
"Teachers are heroes".
These are the words of Jenna Thomas, a 23-year-old foundation phase education student at Nelson Mandela University.
Held annually on 5 October since 1994, World Teachers' Day commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 UNESCO Recommendation concerning the status of teachers. The theme of World Teachers' Day 2021 is "Teachers: Leading in crisis, re-imagining the future". The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) presented this theme for teacher's day in respect of their determined and diligent efforts in the crucial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jenna says teachers can make or break how learners perceive so much of their ability, and who they are: "It is so important for a teacher to praise and deliver constructive criticism to their learners. Reassurance and acknowledgement is all a learner really needs in order to feel motivated and loved."
"This was confirmed during my school-based learning experience as a student teacher at Dias Farm Primary School earlier this year. The learners and school don't have much, but the teacher's ability to motivate and push their learners to always do their best is so inspiring. They always remind the learners that the only way for them to grow out of their circumstances and to make life better for themselves, their parents, and their families is through education."
Jenna says her high school English teacher (Grades 9-12) made the biggest difference in her life:
"I used to be very afraid of expressing myself. I always thought my ways of writing essays were too simple and not "academic" enough. When I submitted essays, they were always descriptive but to the point. My reader needs to feel my story with me. When I was in Grade 9, I wrote a piece and felt uncomfortable about handing it in. In my opinion, I really could have done better. We got our marks back a week later. The teacher explained that many of the essays were weak, and she said that so many of us have the potential to do better. Of course, I knew I was leading the pack of learners she was referring to."
Jenna Thomas and her learners.
She went on to say that she would read out a beautifully constructed essay that she enjoyed marking and scored the highest out of our class of 32 learners:
"I started recognizing my writing as she was reading this piece to the class, and I remember how relieved and overwhelmed I felt. Ever since that day my attitude towards English as a language, and towards writing in general, shifted completely. That day did so much to my confidence and to my ability to write. I am sure my English teacher doesn't even know how much that day boosted me. I wasn't scared to write anymore. I looked forward to receiving essay marks back after every writing submission."
Mothers of school-going children share Jenna's description of hero-teachers. Celestine Blouw says in her son's Grade 9 year, he had so many challenges, including a prolonged rugby injury: "He was struggling to cope at school to the point where he did not enjoy going to school any longer. His marks dropped, and he became a person we did not know. We then decided to look into a home-schooling option and were then recommended to Wings Discovery Centre, a little school which specialises in remedial education for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)."
"He started at Wings not soon thereafter and along with Tracey Botha and her amazing team of teachers we saw a transformation in him. He is in matric this year and we are very grateful for the support and assistance which Mrs Botha and her teams have given us at this time."
Journalist Candice Bezuidenhout said without her former teacher Ernest Heynes, she would not have been interested in languages and journalism as a career path. Teachers do more than inspire learners to perform well academically; culturally they play a huge role as Hope Gabriel attests to.
Hope has been playing the clarinet since she was in Grade 4. In Grade 5, she participated in the Royal Schools of Music exams and got a distinction and because of her excellent results she thought that she was playing at the best level that she could play: "Unfortunately, when high school started, my music teacher told me that I was/am a lazy music student, and that if I carried on playing as I do, then I wouldn't get anywhere in my life musically and that I wouldn't enjoy music anymore."
"I was just about to give up on music until my first band rehearsal of 2021. My conductor walked in and spoke about his vision for the band this year and how passionate he is about music as well as being able to conduct a band full of talented musicians. His enthusiasm encouraged me to be promoted and to play the bass clarinet as well, and I am now part of the concert band. My love for music started to blossom once again, the passion from my conductor had such an amazing effect on me. This year I was invited to the Cultural Awards. Thank you to my conductor who lit the fire in me again."
Her mother, Charlene, is the principal of Môrewag Primary School. She said she has always loved the stage, and her name used to be first on the list when it came to Eisteddfod or even reading aloud in church. "However, that is where it stopped. Until one day, when my Grade 8 teacher, the late Mr McDonald, decided that I was the ideal candidate to participate in a "Rapportryer" Debate Competition."
Mr McDonald said, "Charlene, just open your mouth and talk, encourage and motivate because you don't have to stand back for anyone." From that year onwards, I've done motivational talks at different occasions for different types of people from all walks of life.
"I will encourage and motivate because I will not stand back for anyone. All thanks to Mr McDonald."
Gqeberha singer and songwriter Mariloe Booysen said teachers knowingly or unknowingly carry the responsibility of investing into lives of the future of our country, the world we live in: "And I truly thank each and every single teacher that ploughs into these minds that later go on and do great things."
According to teachers' union employee Venita van Wyk, teachers just do their job, and sometimes they don't even know that they inspire: "They are the heroes that sometimes don't get the necessary accolades. I had many teachers at high school, and although it appeared that I was only a traveller passing through, I was so important to them that after all these years they still remember me."
With the improving of teachers' health as its aim, KaziHealth is a toolkit designed to do just that. It includes a health risk assessment and lifestyle coaching sessions in order to improve cardiovascular health. KaziHealth rolled out to over 150 teachers in April 2019.

It is strange perhaps, to be intrigued by a landfill. In a way it is an interest 20 years or so in the making. Twenty years of driving by; observing, passing glances, fleeting questions. Images stuck in my head.
I pass no judgement on this place. I only want to get a sense of it, to understand it and to learn. In a way I know that part of me is already here. A cast-off part. I am one of the small bones in the spine of the ridge that makes up this place. I am implicated.
Thanks Polly, I appreciate your feedback actually, and passing on Pam's name – I will look her up!
I like this. The idea that you are a part of the land. It's amazing how the landfill can be transformed. Appears to be in the moment of transforming – becoming cleansed, sort of? Now they've discovered a type of fungus that eats plastic, I imagine these landfills churned with the spores, speeding up the process.
I am fascinated by this. I hope you will share more as your project unfolds.
Oh good! I will definitely share more. Thank you Chillbrook!
"I pass no judgement…I only want to understand and learn". A land ethic worthy of Aldo Leopold or Wendell Berry. I look forward to hearing more!
Stay tuned Scilla! Although this will be a slow documentation… Thanks.
Karen, your introduction to the place; all it is, suspending judgement, is beautiful in itself. Really looking forward to your discoveries.
Food for thought! Thank you.
I think you are absolutely on to something. As you know, the most important thing about photography, a photograph, is that the photographer cares about and is connected to whatever is being photographed. And if that comes out in the work, you have something there. That is what happened with my series of 'crummy' digital photos from a moving car. At first I thought they were crap, and then they really grew on me, and I think I put together a significant body of work in a relatively short time. So, please go for it!!!
Wow, such a coincidence, both of us having posted about landfills in the same week!
I find these images filled with the hope that nature's resiliency can still muster, despite all of the damage we've done.
I didn't mention this in my post, but the landfill in Brazil that I mentioned is slated to be closed this year, and I can only hope that nature will take it, the largest of all landfills, back.
It is kind of interesting isn't it? Your post is fascinating. I've seen some of the images from that project before. Truly amazing.
It's perfectly understandable to be fascinated by landfill. It's what becomes of our lives, the things we cast off. The notion that we could dig down into a landfill and discover layers of our past is intriguing. And even if the fill is just dirt, then it's still man-made land, which is almost like a dare to nature, very bold. I live in San Francisco. Big chunks of the city were built on landfill as they filled in the Bay to make more room for the growing city. What used to be a harbor is now the Financial District, and sometimes when the ground is torn up to build a new building, they find the remains of an old ship.
Matt have you read the book "Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children", by Ransom Riggs?
It would be right up your alley! A story spun around old photographs…coincidentally, there is also an archaeologist in there who studies landfill.
No, I haven't read it. Thanks for the recommendation!
I am very much looking forward to how this unfolds Karen. Having a vested interest in it for 20 years, I am sure it is a process that cannot be rushed. Very interesting and again, inspiring to see beauty in this. Thank you!
Thank you Marina, yes, it will be ongoing and a bit of a slow process.
Hi, Karen. I'm really moved by your writing and by your investment in this project. I will eagerly stay tuned.
Hi Lemony, what a great comment, I'm glad you find it interesting, thank you.
It seems like you're already in the right frame of mind to be doing whatever it is you're going to be doing. You've owned your part in what it has become and recognize yourself inside of it. Wow…if you can translate that into your project, I can't imagine that it will be anything less than your normal fare. If it's something that you can/will share with us, I can't wait.
Your words are as beautiful as your photographs Karen.. this is a 20 year project in the making !
All we need is a few hundred years to pass, and these places will be historically significant. Anthropologic goldmines.
But I love your thoughts and words on our own implication – and thinking about what that means.
All I could think about when reading your account of the birth of this landfill is the fact that the landfill in Staten Island, New York was used to deposit most of the debris from the towers that were felled by some devious people. Some of the debris was sorted out in a hanger at Fiorello LaGuardia International Airport and to this day I have a feeling that some human remains were deposited at the Staten Island landfill.
You have had me thinking about your comment for the last couple of days. It's such a powerful image you put in my mind.
Thank you for commenting. Sincerely.
Really interesting..I like your thought of the "beating heart"..It is an odd sensation looking at these..I don't know if it is auto suggestion but I can feel a pulsing under the soil, as if the buried things are pushing up, moving and creaking underneath, alive in a sense..it is like a little of the human soul is under there..a strange semi dead, semi living space..unsettling..you've made me think again about these spaces..!


A GREAT TEAM OF GUIDES!
Our guides are well-trained and eager to help and handle all difficulties encountered along the way with expertise. They know the territory, and travel complete with first-aid essentials and a small emergency bike repair kit.
Our guides will help motivate and encourage cyclists during the hardest parts of the route. They can also suggest the best panoramic views for photos or cafes for refreshment.


Welcome to the relatively small but very active Mid-Scotland Section of the RSC.
As the local university, Stirling, has no chemistry department the majority of our members are, or have been, employed within the industrial sector. There are, in addition, a few present-day and retired school teachers and college lecturers. The current committee, which meets at the Grangemouth premises of Ineos, reflects this mixture of industry and education.
As you can see from the 2016-2017 programme card the committee members have arranged a cocktail of social events, lectures and competitions. This includes an inaugural Learn Chemistry event for local chemistry teachers. This will be led by one of the RSC Education Coordinators.
As part of Chemistry Week 2016 the section plans to hold event(s) to promote Chemistry to the general public. We would welcome your ideas for a successful event.
On an evening of W/B 14 November Forth Valley College's Falkirk Campus will host the Top of the Bench Competition. As this introduction is being put together three of the committee's alchemists are engaged in setting up an enjoyable little challenge for the participating school teams.
The Best Western Park Hotel in Falkirk is the chosen venue for the quiz night [21 October], the wine tasting and evening meal with professor John Hepworth [5 May] and the AGM [21 April].
The committee attempts to present a varied and stimulating programme for the year. In this regard suggestions regarding speakers and / or areas of particular interest are most welcome.
I look forward to meeting you at this year's events.
Thursday 17 November 2016. The annual laboratory based competition to decide the winner of the Top of the Bench Trophy and subsequently represent Mid Scotland at the UK Finals.

Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World
by Joshua Freeman.

It was in the early 1960s, I think, that our class at a small-town Gymnasium made a trip to south-western Germany, accompanied by several teachers. We visited Heidelberg and Schwetzingen and similar places without really seeing them; 17-year-old boys have other things on their minds. But we also went to Rüsselsheim, near Frankfurt, for a tour of the Opel car factory. I had never imagined that a place like this could exist: the deafening noise, the dirt, the heat, and in the middle of it all, people stoically performing minute predefined operations on the cars-in-the-making that were slowly but relentlessly moving past their work stations. The high point of the visit was the foundry in the basement – which, as I now learn from Joshua Freeman's marvellous book, was the standard place for foundries in car factories of that era. Here, where the heat seemed unbearable and there was almost no light, half-naked men carried the molten metal, red-hot, from the furnace to the casting stations in small buckets filled to a back-breaking weight. Trained in the classics rather than the real world, I felt I had entered the workshop of Hephaestus. Looking back, I think it was on that day I decided to study sociology, which I then believed could help me and others to improve the lives of those slaving away in the basements of factories everywhere.
Later, when I was a young social scientist, the car industry remained an obsession. I included car manufacturing in my empirical work whenever I could, and I made a point of visiting factories, to remind myself what they were like and replenish my supply of mental images of what I tried, often in vain, to convince my colleagues were the Gothic cathedrals of the 20th century. It was amazing how much they were changing, and how fast. On every visit there was less noise, dirt and dust; much better air; no welding by hand or overhead assembly; hermetically sealed automatic paint shops; heavy lifting done by machines and later by robots. And at the final assembly stage it was now the workers who sat on movable platforms that carried them along with the doors or seats or whatever it was they were fitting. My last visit to the Volkswagen plant at Wolfsburg, more than thirty years ago, ended as usual in final assembly, where the only sounds to be heard were soft music and the first firing of the engines at the end of the line as the new cars were driven away. The workers were mostly women, dressed in jeans and T-shirts. With a big smile and the male chauvinism that may always be part of the culture of car manufacturing, my guide, from the all-powerful works council, said I was looking at the 'Wolfsburg marriage market': 'The lads drop by here when they have a break to see what's on offer.'
Many of the changes were a result of technological progress, as well as labour market constraints – in particular the need to feminise the workforce. But politics and industrial relations mattered at least as much. In the 1970s, after the strike wave of 1968 and 1969, governments, managements and trade unions in European manufacturing countries began to take demands for the 'humanisation' of industrial work seriously. In Germany, under Brandt and Schmidt, a national research and development campaign, run by a special department at the Ministry of Research and Technology, lavishly funded academic and industrial projects in engineering, management and industrial sociology. The aim was to end Taylorism, and some workers and their representatives gained the right, not just to be informed and consulted, but also to contribute to decisions about work organisation, technology, working hours and training.
Freeman, whose history focuses on the UK, the US, the USSR and China, largely sidesteps the European continent, which is regrettable given the enduring success of manufacturing in countries like Germany and Sweden. Certainly workforce participation and anti-Taylorism had their drawbacks, as did worker co-management. In Sweden, reforms culminated in avant-garde production methods at Volvo and Saab that weren't only expensive but were disliked by the workers they were supposed to benefit: 'group work' on 'production islands', for instance, where cars were put together almost from scratch by a team and the workers were encouraged to sign the finished product. For a while, Saabs and Volvos were the favourite cars of European intellectuals, because they were made, it was believed, by 'happy workers' – until both firms returned to more conventional methods (which did not in the end prevent them being taken over by GM and Ford, respectively).
In Germany, meanwhile, co-operation between management and the works council at Volkswagen gradually turned into collusion and co-optation. The scandals included multi-million euro payments to the head of the works council and his girlfriend, authorised by the company's personnel director, Peter Hartz. (In 2002, while at VW, Hartz was appointed by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder to chair a commission on the labour market, which eventually led to the 'Hartz-IV' reforms, which cut benefits for the long-term unemployed.) But all this mattered more to the press than it did on the shopfloor, and whatever schemes management, unions and works councils may have cooked up, the workers at least appreciated their new working conditions.
Freeman's book tells a long and elaborate story that begins in England in the late 18th century, then moves to the United States – from textiles to steel and automobiles – and on to the worldwide victory of Taylorism and Fordism in the first half of the 20th century. That victory extended to the Soviet Union under Stalin, and peaked in the mass production of the Second World War. The Cold War follows, then the rise of China and its own version of capitalism. Throughout his account, Freeman conveys a deep ambivalence towards modern industrialisation: on the one hand, expulsion from the land, proletarianisation, exploitation, repression and cruel discipline; on the other, emancipation from traditional ways of life, new solidarities, trade unions with the capacity to fight for higher wages and better conditions, and the possibility of industrial citizenship and social reform.
Freeman pays attention not just to the internal organisation of factories, but also to their relationship with and their effect on society. That factories require particular patterns of settlement – new cities or large-scale company housing – does not always figure prominently in accounts of industrialisation. Planning for the sudden arrival of large numbers of people in a previously sparsely populated space was attractive to urbanists, with their visions of a new society and a new industrial worker in need of entertainment, education and culture: a sharp contrast to life in the villages where the first generation of industrial workers were recruited. Architects often designed new factory buildings not just to meet utilitarian necessities, but to make aesthetic statements about the value of what was produced inside them. Factory architecture, we learn from Freeman, especially as it developed in the US, soon became an international style that eventually spread even to the Soviet Union, where factories were designed to celebrate industrial modernity, just as they were in the West.
Freeman's account of 'the making of the modern world' opens our eyes to the degree of international cross-fertilisation, especially in the 1930s and 1940s, when large-scale manufacturing was coming into its own. Henry Ford was a global icon who counted Hitler among his admirers. As soon as he took power, Hitler had tried hard but in vain to make German car manufacturers abandon their small-scale production methods in favour of mass production of a simple car 'for the people' – a Volkswagen. Ford's example inspired Hitler to set up a car plant on his model in a place that would later be named Wolfsburg (there were already two much smaller Ford and General Motors plants in Germany, at Cologne and Rüsselsheim), allegedly with second-hand machinery imported from Dearborn, Michigan. In 1938 Hitler awarded Ford the Nazi regime's highest decoration reserved for foreigners, the Great Cross of the German Order of the Eagle.
Another unusual feature of Freeman's story is the space he devotes to the artistic representation of the factory, beginning with Futurism. Photography and cinematography, the newest branches of artistic production, reproducible as mass-produced commodities themselves, were particularly prominent. Photographers and filmmakers did document the drudgery of mass production and the misery of exploitation, but they were also fascinated by the promise of progress embodied by the new cars coming off the conveyor belt, the polished airplane engines and turbines, and the huge workshops with their avant-garde design, such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Johnson Wax HQ in Racine, Wisconsin.
A question that recurs at every turn in Freeman's long story is whether workers' suffering in the early years of industrialisation was really necessary. This debate begins with Adam Smith's discussion of the division of labour, the increase in productivity and the negation of humanity it brings along with it – so that at some point its benefits are undone by the damage to human mental capacities and self-esteem. Capitalists insisted that the waste of a few generations in the living hell of the factories of Manchester was a necessary sacrifice to secure a better future for all. But where does the sacrifice end if capitalism's imperative is the endless accumulation of capital? This wasn't really an issue under socialism: both Stalin and Trotsky considered the use of brute force indispensable to a socialist version of primitive accumulation, an unfettered reliance on Taylorism and military-style discipline to advance the creation of a socialist working class. The advent of communism, so the story went, would mean the liberation of society from work through a combination of socialised fixed capital and Soviet power. European social democrats, for their part, settled for liberation in not from work: they settled, in other words, for less managerial control, opportunities for workers to expand their roles, shorter chains of command, and for taking advantage of increases in productivity to slow down the pace of work.
Unsurprisingly, the conflict between labour and capital – or management – over factory organisation and discipline is a prominent theme in Freeman's account. Particular attention is paid to the struggle over the division of the proceeds resulting from the superior productivity that is a consequence of co-operation in large-scale production. Factory work is teamwork: it is impossible to devise a simple formula for dividing its benefits, thus opening the door for bargaining between parties with conflicting interests. Here a crucial parameter is relative power, as brought to bear in – and affected by – national and local institutions handling industrial relations. Power fundamentally shapes the organisation of production. For example, Freeman recounts that in the US after the war, giant factories began to go out of fashion and were replaced with much smaller production sites, widely dispersed geographically. New transportation and co-ordination technologies helped make this possible, as did vertical disintegration and just-in-time parts delivery. But the driving force, according to Freeman, was the management response to the power that organised labour had been allowed to build under the New Deal, most effectively in large factories. To avoid costly concessions to their newly empowered workforces, firms relocated to greenfield sites in places where there was no tradition of unionisation. Here, 'human resource management' might be in a position to sift a hundred thousand job applications in selecting a workforce of 1500. They could make sure that the workers they hired were anti-union, had children and a mortgage – the assumption being that having a mortgage makes for a robust work ethic, or at least makes workers unwilling to go on strike.
Freeman does note, as an aside, that the move away from large factories wasn't universal. It didn't happen in countries and companies with effective industrial democracy, where workers' representatives had a right to veto the relocation of jobs, in return guaranteeing industrial peace. A prime example is, again, Volkswagen's main factory at Wolfsburg, where the already large workforce of 44,000 in 2007 grew to 62,000 ten years later (a little fewer than Freeman claims). This was possible chiefly because the union was able to extract guarantees of investment and continuing employment at the plant, in exchange for its services in managing workers' discontent. Another factor was that the state of Niedersachsen, where Wolfsburg is located, is a privileged shareholder in Volkswagen and sufficiently powerful to make sure jobs remain there. (This is a situation the EU has been trying to put an end to for years, in the name of 'free movement of capital'.)
Of course, it isn't just management that finds huge factories scary; workers can too, especially if they don't have a say in the running of them. In the late 1970s I took a British trade union official on a tour of the Wolfsburg factory. Used to the small, doomed, geographically dispersed and never really integrated British Leyland plants of the time, which were riven by industrial strife and dependent on public subsidies, the official grew increasingly depressed as we walked through the seemingly unending factory halls – until finally he started complaining about the inhumanity of squeezing so many workers into one space. His frustration only grew after he asked how often, on an average day, the plant reached its production targets: his German counterparts didn't understand the question because they couldn't conceive of production targets not being met. In the evening over a beer, he found some relief in violating the Fawlty Towers commandment and mentioning the war ('Back then when you fellows didn't behave'): as a member of a small special unit of marines, he had landed in Flensburg to help arrest Großadmiral Dönitz, an act of heroism for which, to his surprise, we expressed our deeply felt gratitude.
Freeman's final chapter is about the 'giant factories' of Asia, in particular the Taiwanese-owned Foxconn plants in mainland China. Here, too, the problems posed by size are minimised – through repression. As a historian, Freeman places China's current labour arrangements in the context of its recent history, in particular the Cultural Revolution, when management was subordinated to the will of the masses and factory discipline replaced with revolutionary ardour. Little of that remains today, unless the harsh regime in the fast-growing private sector of Chinese manufacturing is understood, in part, as a dialectical outgrowth of the economic and political disasters of the 1960s and 1970s.
In Europe in particular there seems to be an even more sinister connection between the politics of liberation if not from then in work and the new 'Asian mode of production'. As satisfied consumers of the electronic toys, colourful running shoes and cheap T-shirts that come to us courtesy of modern Asian industrialism, we tend to forget about the way they are produced in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, Cambodia and Myanmar – in factories not owned but used by firms like Apple, Disney, Adidas and Walmart. The hellish Manchester of early industrialisation still exists, but on the global periphery, too far away for school trips. Having outsourced to Asia the misery of long hours and low wages, we as consumers can reap their benefits without bearing the costs as producers (disregarding for the moment those who, in an ironic version of liberation from work, lost their jobs as a result of this process).
Much of what Freeman has to say about Asia may be familiar from reports in the media, but gathered in one place the information is truly upsetting. A factory with a workforce of 350,000 producing iPhones and nothing else; residence permits for migrant workers designed to prevent them from organising; workers' dormitories with strict, quasi-military discipline. No cities of the future here: only barbed wire, uniformed security guards and surveillance cameras. And the suicides: in 2010, 14 young workers jumped to their death from the roof of a Foxconn factory producing iPhones and iPads. Freeman reports that Apple politely reprimanded Foxconn, and Foxconn responded with preventative measures to spare its biggest customer further embarrassment, installing wire mesh on the roofs and balconies of its factory buildings and putting up three million square metres of netting all around them to catch anyone who jumped.
Why are those Asian factories so big? Large factories mean bosses have to put in a lot of effort to control their workers. According to Freeman, it isn't a matter of economies of scale: the production processes involved aren't complex enough for that. More likely they are meeting the demands of customers like Nike and Hewlett-Packard, for which 'flexibility' is everything. When Apple made its long-awaited iPhone 6 available, it needed to be able to sell 13 million units in the phone's first three days on the market. Since 'freshness', according to Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, is a modern gadget's most important property, it has to be possible to make changes to the design until a very few weeks before it goes on sale. Just-in-time production of this sort requires huge factories with huge workforces stored, as it were, in company-owned dormitories nearby, ready to be called on at any time and ordered to work shifts of 12 hours or more for several weeks in a row. Nowhere is the dirty secret of our prosperous way of life – the way we are spared the pain of producing what we have been made to believe we need at prices we can afford – laid bare more clearly than it is here.
Not that Freeman leaves his readers without hope. Wages have recently increased in Asia, though turnover continues to be extremely high, indicating a degree of worker dissatisfaction that may become too costly for employers to sustain. The number and size of strikes at Chinese factories seems considerable, giving the lie to the idea of the submissive Chinese worker. Even life in a Foxconn factory seems to have had some of the 'civilising effect' on its workers that Freeman argues has always been associated with the factory. By moving away from the village and earning their own money, even in the most dismal of circumstances, the sons and daughters of peasants escape what Marx and Engels called 'the idiocy of rural life'. Could modernisation, its manifold discontents notwithstanding, spread from the factory to society in China, as it may have done before in other places?
Freeman doesn't speculate about what may come next in the long story of organised work and production. The 'satanic mills' of Foxconn set up at the behest of, among others, the greatest capitalist firm of all time will be a major part of the picture. Just as significant, however, is an entirely new kind of factory, or quasi-factory, where the bulk of the productive capital isn't centrally owned and factory discipline is replaced by the discipline of the market. In the world of the new platform firm – Uber, TaskRabbit, Deliveroo, that sort of thing – it isn't the master capitalist who owns the means of production but the skilled worker, once they've paid off the loan they took to buy their equipment. Production is local, close to the customer, indeed customised. There is no agglomeration any more, not of production, or of workers and their living spaces. Only management is centralised at the global level. But like the utopian projects of the 1970s that were intended to restore the dignity of the factory worker, management now issues advice, not orders: it helps workers get their jobs done and serves workers instead of pushing them around. Workers, in turn, work when they want, and the 'alienation' of their work from their lives, so characteristic of the factory of the industrial age, is for ever a thing of the past.
Or so it is made to appear. In fact, the Taylorist separation of planning and execution is nowhere more rigid than in the new platform firms, where the tools of planning are held solely and incontestably by the management, often incorporated as a separate firm. Execution, meanwhile, is left to subcontractors, who are controlled not just through material incentives, but by the latest behavioural technologies, as embodied in proprietary algorithms stored in the latest, also proprietary, remote-controlled equipment.The virtual factory integrates workers' private spaces into the sphere of production. In extreme cases, life can be turned into work without the workers themselves becoming aware of it: the 'users' of Facebook, for example, inadvertently produce the platform's most important resource, the data they leave behind as indelible traces of their increasingly virtual lifestyles, while tens of thousands of would-be 'influencers' spend their days concocting images and videos endorsing products in the hope of eventually being paid for it by manufacturers.
Traditional analytic categories such as wage labour or the labour market reach the limits of their usefulness here. In the giant decentralised service factory, you no longer sign an employment contract but are given a socially networked opportunity to do work – this work can include what we produce for Apple, Google, Facebook, Tinder and the like. We believe ourselves to be 'using' them when in fact we are being used. Is there a role in this world for labour law, for social protection, collective protest – in other words, for politics? Can we hope for the return of independent craftspeople, ready to organise in modern guilds and resurrected trade unions, or of the gang system of the docks or the aircraft industry as it still existed half a century ago in Britain and, to a lesser extent, the United States? Or could civil law take the place of labour law in regulating the new factories? If our societies still see it as their task to civilise the world of organised production, they'd better get on with it.

Q: Error on signing-config.json (Access is denied) running an app in Android Studio I tried to run my app but I got this error in the android studio:

D:\AndroidStudioProjects\ShelfExpert\app\build\intermediates\signing_config\debug\out\signing-config.json
  (Access is denied)

What should I do?

A: You might not be the owner of the file.
If that's the case, you can't delete signing-config.json
You can fix it by claiming ownership to the file if you're an admin.
Try following the instructions here from the answer to claim ownership.
I fixed mine by giving permission to Users.

A: Run Android Studio in Administrator mode and the problem gone..
Just right click on android studio icon and click on "Run as Administrator"
You can also set the app to always run as administrator by this method

A: Simply, just run your Android Studio as Administrator and it will do the trick and no need to delete any file or anything. This worked for me.

A: Delete the signing_config.json from the respective directory will resolve the issue

A: *

*Open cmd(if on windows) as administrator

*Move to the "signing-config.json" location in cmd. In my case location was "E:\AndroidStudioProjects\my-project\app\build\intermediates\signing_config\debug\out."

*run command del signing-config.json

Don't forget to clean and rebuild project.
Done.

A: Just Delete the signingconfig.json file and re-run the app. Run as administrator. You can find the signingconfig.json in build/intermediate.

A: Just run this command while you are running the emulator
flutter clean

A: Working solution for me:
Step: 1
Run your Android studio as Run as administrator.
Step: 2
Delete app → build folder
Step: 3
Clean and rebuild your project and chill

A: In Some cases, it will not allow you to remove the file just by pressing "Delete" button.
You need to use "Shift + Delete"

A: app\build\intermediates\signing_config\debug\out\signing-config.json

In my case, I followed the most voted answer in this question.
After delete signing-config.json file in the above path, everything works fine!:)

A: Just Delete the File signing_config.json and re-run
And it will work fine

A: I got this exact same error while trying to build a project located on an exFAT partition. I think our problem simply has to have something in common regarding to permissions because exFAT file system does not store file permissions whatsoever (all files premissions appear to be 777).
It is worth noting, that exFAT file system was designed to be universal between almost all operating systems, and was not oriented on performance or anything else.

A: Sometime clean and rebuild the project will clear the error

A: I had almost the same problem, but I use React-Native. I was trying to build a release version of my app (with the 'gradlew assembleRelease' command). Deleting this file haven't solved the problem. To solve I had to set the user permission of the file explicity to my user (even beeing  the current admin) on Windows. In other words I gave permission of reading and writing. You can do that by going in the Properties of the file. Previously, everything was working fine and after some updates this started to happen. I think Windows have made some mess with something. Hope it helps.

A: Once when I had the problem, it turned out to be because of the network drive on which the project was stored. For some reason, the file permission on the network drive was preventing this particular file access, and hence the error - even after a clean build. Moving the project from the network drive to the local drive solved it for me.

A: Just open signing-config.json. You can find it by going to the project level, and just change SigningEnabled from true to false. e.g.: "mV1SigningEnabled":true, "mV2SigningEnabled":true to "mV1SigningEnabled":false, "mV2SigningEnabled":false.

A: What I am going to provide may not be the proper solution of this problem. I encountered the same problem and I resolved it by opening the android studio again as an administrator. I hope this works in your case as well.

RepRage – What are the best SD cards to use in a Raspberry Pi?
SD cards have a limited life, and the more you read and write to them, the shorter their lifespan. In a Raspberry Pi this makes things a little tricky, the SD card gets a much tougher workout than it normally would in something like a digital camera.
Up until now, I have always just picked up a SD card that was sold bundled with a Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately these SD cards are often low quality and didn't last very long, with some failing in as little as a month.
So now I get SD cards separately, and only ones that feature wear levelling. The cheap SD cards don't have any wear levelling, and the Raspberry Pi gets into situations where certain areas on the SD card gets written to over and over again until it wears out and fails. The Pi then comes along and again tries to the use the same worn-out area, and promptly chokes. All despite other areas of the SD card being hardly (or not) used at all!
The more expensive cards with wear levelling won't just keep pummelling the same spot on the disk over and over again. Instead, it will try and spread wear out over the whole disk. A little like rotating the tyres on a car, wear levelling ensures that each part of the disk decays at about the same rate.
I also get SD cards that have way more space than I need, at least 8GB. This further increases the longevity of the card by increasing the total 'surface area' that will eventually wear away. With wear levelling, more free space means a longer lasting SD card.
Some care needs to be taken when ordering SD-Cards for your Raspberry Pi. The older boards (Model A and B) take the larger SD-Cards, while the newer boards (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+) take smaller micro SD-Cards.
However, if you have more than $150 to burn, you can reach to the very top shelf and have a browse around Panasonic's industrial grade SD cards (some feature RAID for even greater data protection).
The impressive range and features of the Panasonic industrial range has me a bit smitten for the Panasonic gold series. Some of that industrial goodness has to be rubbing off on the top-end of their consumer line, right?
For a host of other tips and tricks on how to extend the life of a SD card inside a Raspberry Pi, see this excellent thread on StackExchange.

Home Video Can't recognize UNHRC resolution on SL: Gota
Can't recognize UNHRC resolution on SL: Gota
15 October 2019 06:27 pm - 14 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
SLPP presidential candidate and former defence secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa said today said though he would work with the UN and human rights organisations in resolving contentious issues he could not recognize the UNHRC resolution on Sri Lanka because it was 'illegal'.
The 30/1 UN resolution titled, 'Promoting reconciliation, accountability and human rights in Sri Lanka' was co-sponsored by the present Sri Lankan government and adopted in 2015.
As the SLPP presidential candidate, he told his maiden news briefing at Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo that he will always work with the UN but would not recognize what it had signed with different governments. Mr. Rajapaksa was flanked by SLPP Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa and other party leaders.
"It was not a government of mine. My personal view is that it is not a legal document," Gotabaya Rajapaksa said when asked how he would follow up with commitments made through the UN resolution in 2015 and added that as a party they had already rejected that resolution in public and said everyone knew that there was a stark difference between their policies and that of the incumbent government.
"We will work with UN and Human Rights organisations as well in solving issues but the resolution is not something we signed," Mr. Rajapaksa said.
Clarifying this matter, SLPP Chairman Professor G.L.Peiris said the present government itself has stated categorically that some of the commitments given to the UNHRC were contrary to Sri Lanka's Constitution.
"They have said some of the commitments cannot be implemented because they are directly contrary to the constitution. No government, either the current or a future, can take action which are contrary to the Constitution," Professor Peiris said.
Mr. Rajapaksa said they had a system to promote accountability during the previous Rajapaksa government's tenure but it was replaced by the incumbent government.
"We took many measures to promote accountability. We did a survey to record the number of people missing including the LTTErs. Correct numbers were produced but unfortunately, without even coming here, some produced their own numbers. There are ambiguous documents in this area. We will follow up and discuss," Mr. Rajapaksa said.
He also rejected the allegations that surrendered people had gone missing during the war.
Q: What happened to the people who surrendered to the army since you were leading the army at that time? Could you please tell us what happened to the people who surrendered to the army? Where are they?
A: You are mistaken I think, I was not leading the army.
Q: Your brother was?
A: No! No! The army was led by the army commander
Q: You were the defence secretary, what will you tell the people who ask that question?
A: About 13,784 surrendered and they were rehabilitated and reintegrated into society. They were given employment in the Civil Security Force and some of them were recruited in the military as well. We had one of the most successful rehabilitation programmes. Even foreign observers commended our programmes.
Q: Does that mean that there are no missing persons?
A: Even in the military, over 4,000 officers and soldiers went missing during the war in the battlefield. Once, I went to Jaffna Fort and even we couldn't recover the bodies of the military personnel. People are missing. Similarly a number of soldiers are missing.
Q: Some say those who surrendered did not return? So are they lying?
A: No! Somebody can say that but that is an allegation. We had a commission on this. There were no cases like that.
Q: Even the Paranagama Commission of your time said there were such cases
A: I don't think so.
Q: It was said that various census and statistics were conducted which came out with numbers. What was the process that you had in mind to carry this forward?
A: You are talking all the time about the past. Ask about the future. If you concentrate on the future, it is better I think.
Q: But can you move on without addressing the past?
A: Yeah sure, can move on.
Meanwhile, former president Mahinda Rajapaksa responding to another question said the war crimes which allegedly took place during the Indian army's occupancy should also be probed at this rate.
"Then we have to probe all, including the riots, and all incidents dated back towards Indian Army's occupancy in the country," the former president said.
SLPP candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa meanwhile rejected the allegations of 'white vans' levelled against him. "I do not posses any white van and this 'white van culture' was something in the country way before our time," he said.
When asked about the nature of his foreign policy if elected, he said he believed it has to be neutral. "We have to be realistic in maintaining our foreign policy. We can't get involved in power struggles of power houses," he said.
He also commented on the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) and the Acquisition and Cross Services Agreement (ACSA) -- two agreements the incumbent government is trying to sign with the US.
"When we signed the agreements back then, we ensured that we benefited from them. This government does not have best interest of the country at heart. Any agreement will have to be negotiated with me, if I'm elected president," Mr. Rajapaksa said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

You can't work with them (UN) if you do not recognise UN Resolutions. Then you will find your office heading nowhere in the world!
Angelo Tuesday, 15 October 2019 07:10 PM
Can anyone explain how we can tell the difference between a missing LTTE in civilian clothing and a missing Tamil civilian?
Lord Wolfstein Tuesday, 15 October 2019 08:21 PM
Of course, the man who ordered the genocide of the Tamil minority can not recognize the UN resolution.
Aney Yako Tuesday, 15 October 2019 09:01 PM
Of course not because if you recognize the resolution you'll end up in jail for war crimes!
Chux Tuesday, 15 October 2019 09:19 PM
So you know the meaning of accountability??
ra Wednesday, 16 October 2019 03:00 AM
Mr.Sumanthiran and Mr.Sampanthan have tried their best to diffuse the UN's efforts to prosecute war criminals. We don't know the reason behind their efforts
raa Wednesday, 16 October 2019 03:11 AM
if the International Community's concerns about human rights in Sri Lanka, they would have arrested and prosecuted Sri Lankan war criminals suspects.
Andrew Silva Wednesday, 16 October 2019 03:42 AM
So what he is saying is we are unique and we will live in isolation, after all our concept is solve all problems through the white vans.
Jaffna Tamil Wednesday, 16 October 2019 03:51 AM
Thank you Mahinda Rajapaksa for saying that the WAR CRIMES COMMITTED BY THE INDIAN ARMY DURING THEIR OCCUPATION TOO SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
Sugandh Thomas Wednesday, 16 October 2019 03:52 PM
Too indeed!
Paksa Raja Wednesday, 16 October 2019 05:57 AM
Yes , GR get emboiled with the UN and prove the Rajapaksa arrogance .
The Rajapaksa government investigated the allegations against Gota. Must have been a fair and thorough investigation without any conflict of interest.
lord pakeer Wednesday, 16 October 2019 05:04 PM
anyone who take up arms against a democratically elected government will have to face consequences. this is the price yu pay for the life you choose!
