Volkswagen to stop making its classic Beetle next year
Company to produce two special editions of famed model before ceasing production
Volkswagen will stop making the Beetle car next year, ending nearly seven decades of production, the company has announced.
The company's American unit said it would halt output at its plant in Mexico after making two special edition models of the third-generation bulbous bug in July 2019.
The compact Beetle was introduced in Germany in 1938 during the Nazi era and came to the US 11 years later, where it became a symbol of utilitarian transportation often used by hippies.
The car attained further popularity with the 1968 Disney movie The Love Bug, the story of a racing Volkswagen with a mind of its own.
Andy Warhol did prints featuring the car and a Beetle was also the most prominent car in the background of Abbey Road, the final Beatles album to be recorded.
The car sold for about 30 years before production ceased in 1979.
Volkswagen revived it in 1998 as a more modern "New Beetle", attracting mainly female buyers. The company revamped it for the 2012 model year in an effort to make it appeal to men, giving it a flatter roof, less bulbous shape, a bigger trunk and a navigation system. US sales rose fivefold to nearly 29,000 in the first year, but tailed off after that.
The special editions will come in coupe and convertible body styles and there will be unique beige and blue colours in addition to the normal hues. There will also be standard extra chrome, new wheels and three-colour ambient lighting inside.
Volkswagen has no immediate plans to revive the Beetle again, but the company wouldn't rule it out. "I would say 'never say never'," VW of America CEO Hinrich Woebcken said in a statement.
VW continues to deal with fallout from the "dieselgate" scandal that broke in September 2015.
The company, having already paid out costly government settlements, is fighting billions of dollars in additional claims lodged by shareholders who saw their stock plummet in value after authorities cracked down on VW over the installation of so-called "defeat devices" into 11m cars worldwide to fool regulatory emissions tests.

Lisbon, Portugal, 4 September 2022 – The Ismaili Imamat has announced it will be donating US$10 million to support relief efforts following the severe flooding in Pakistan. $5m will be donated directly to the Government of Pakistan while a further $5m will be provided to the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) agencies in the country, which are engaged in the relief efforts.
The donation comes following a discussion on Sunday between the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif, and Prince Rahim Aga Khan, Chair of AKDN's Environment and Climate Committee and eldest son of His Highness the Aga Khan, the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims.
Prince Rahim said "I am deeply concerned about the impact of the current floods in Pakistan, which have been intensified by the effects of climate change. These floods, and the many other weather events we are experiencing around the world, require us all—governments, businesses, communities, and individuals—to redouble our efforts to combat the climate crisis which threatens to engulf us. The institutions of the Ismaili Imamat have been mobilised to support the government in its relief and rehabilitation efforts."
During the discussion, the Prime Minister expressed appreciation on behalf of the people and Government of Pakistan for the unwavering support of the Ismaili Imamat and the AKDN institutions. He also expressed his deepest respects for the work that the AKDN institutions have been delivering in Pakistan since its independence.
The Aga Khan Agency for Habitat and FOCUS are AKDN's lead response agencies for relief efforts. To date over 8,000 people have been successfully evacuated from affected areas while more than 4,000 families have been provided with food packages since the start of the flooding. Healthcare camps have been set up in several parts of the country by the Aga Khan University and Aga Khan Health Service where over 2,000 flood affected people have been given assistance.
HBL Bank and Jubilee Life Insurance, both part of the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development portfolio, have been active supporters in the relief efforts providing food rations and waterproof tents to over 12,000 families. Additionally, social safety payments by the Government of Pakistan are being disbursed to over 1 million people through HBL's Konnect platform.
AKDN Helicopter operations have also been assisting in rescue missions and supporting the delivery of food items and medicines to remote areas in Chitral and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Bethesda has announced today that its offering Dishonored owners looking to upgrade to the remastered version a loyalty deal. A user on Reddit discovered the upgrade option which is even available to those who downloaded the game via PS+ when it was offered on the service. This means that upgrading will make the Dishonored Definitive edition cost just $20 instead of $40.
This deal has only been discovered for PS4, but the game is only £23.86 on Amazon (UK) anyway. Currently the PSN deal is available in the US, but hopefully once the European PSN store updates we'll get access to the very same deal.
The Definitive Edition comes with all DLC, and is visually enhanced for new-gen. The game is set for release August 25th (US) and August 28th (UK).

How to play video on Xbox One
Xbox One is the latest game console. It has powerful multimedia performance. This guide tells you how to play video on Xbox One.
Perhaps this November is the most exciting month for game lovers as the two giant game consoles, PS4 and Xbox one, have both been available in this month. The Sony PS4 was first release at November 18th in United States and Canada. More than 1 million PS4 were sold in less than 24 hours. Just several days after that, Microsoft claimed their latest game console - the Xbox One has been available in November 22th. Unlike the pure game console as PS4, the Xbox One is more than a comprehensive recreation center. It has more motion controls and network features. With excellent multimedia performance, we could combine the Xbox One with other electronic devices like TV, PC, tablet and cellphone. In this guide, I'll introduce you one of the most important multimedia features of Xbox One - the video playback. You can use the Xbox One to enjoy video in three methods.
Play video on Xbox One with Xbox video app
The Xbox One console has generated a video app in which you can purchase or rent various TV shows, movies and music videos. Follow the steps below to get videos in the Xbox video app.
1. Sign in with your Microsoft account in Xbox One console
2. Scroll right on the home screen and choose Browse > Movies & TV > Xbox Video
3. Select a video from the recommendations or search the video name in Video Search
4. Select to purchase or rent the video. Most videos have SD (stand definition) and HD (high definition) versions. If you choose to buy the movie, then you download it for 5 times. And if you choose to rent, then you can keep the movie for 14 days.
5. Follow the prompts to complete the transaction after you purchase or rent the movie
Play DVD/Blu-ray video on Xbox One
It's a pity that the previous Xbox – the Xbox 360 on supports DVD. But this situation has changed on new Xbox One – it generates a DVD/Blu-ray drive. This is a great improvement. Now we can insert the HD video disk in the Xbox One to enjoy exciting movie without any extra software or hardware. Xbox One's drive has a very useful bookmark feature. If you stop a DVD and eject it before the feature ends, the Xbox 360 console remembers, or bookmarks, the point where you stopped. When you reinsert the DVD, the DVD continues from that point.
Play video on Xbox One from USB
Everybody love big screen to watch video. That's why most TVs have an external USB device support that we can put the HD video in it and let the TV to play them. But most TVs don't have strong video decoding performance that it may not have an optimal video playback. Luckily we can both connect the TV and USB device to Xbox One so that we can use its powerful multimedia performance to play videos. The Xbox One support multiple video formats like these:
File extensions Containers Video profiles Video bit rate
AVI support .avi, .divx AVI MPEG-4 Part 2 (Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile) 5 Mbps with resolutions of 1280 × 720 at 30 fps
H.264 support .mp4, .m4v, mp4v, .mov, .avi MPEG-4, QuickTime Baseline, main and high (up to level 4.1) 10 Mbps with resolutions of 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps
MPEG-4 Part 2 support .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .mov, .avi MPEG-4, QuickTime MPEG-4 Part 2 (Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile) 5 Mbps with resolutions of 1280 × 720 at 30 fps
WMV (VC-1) support .wmv ASF WMV7 (WMV1), WMV8 (WMV2), WMV9 (WMV3), VC-1 (WVC1 or WMVA) in simple, main and advanced up to level 3 Video bit rate: 15 Mbps with resolutions of 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps
From the table we can see that Xbox One can play most mainstream video formats. But it's a pity that the popular .mkv video isn't in the list. If you have many MKV video at hands, just convert them to MP4 formats so that Xbox One could play. You can use the imElfin Video Converter.

Patients routinely cared for in 'temporary' beds
HB News: 24/06/2019 - 10:24
New evidence by the BMA has shown that NHS hospitals in England are facing an ever-increasing struggle to cope with patient demand with patients being routinely cared for in 'temporary' beds.
The data reveals that hospitals are now routinely caring for patients in beds that should be used only in emergencies or when there are spikes in demand – such as during winter months. Doctors report that beds which should be for patients who have left operating theatres are being commandeered as escalation beds and this can lead to cancelled operations for planned surgery and delays for emergency surgery, as there is no place for these patients to recover.
Escalation beds are separate from the standard stock in hospitals. They can be mothballed beds that are kept in reserve or additional or repurposed beds brought into other clinical areas. The findings follow the NHS England chief executive's comments about hospitals needing to increase bed capacity to deal with demand, after years of reductions.
Rob Harwood, BMA consultants committee chair, said: "The use of escalation beds is a sign that trusts are at a critical stage and are unable to cope with demand with their current bed stock. Some hospitals are forced to designate their theatre recovery beds as 'escalation', resulting in elective surgical operations being cancelled as there is no space for those patients who need immediate care after their surgery. I have heard of other cases where beds in Day Procedure Units – surgical units for patients who can have their operation and return home on the same day - are used as escalation spaces for admitting patients for longer ward-style care, meaning healthcare staff cannot continue with routine day care surgical cases.
"Most worryingly, the intense pressure on beds can result in patients being placed on beds in corridors or in bits of other facilities, sometimes cramping treatment areas and causing unacceptable stress to the patient and their families. It is obvious in these circumstances that there are also not enough staff to cope with the number of people coming through the hospital's doors.
"It cannot be right that the NHS is having to use these measures almost permanently, especially when the BMA, other leading healthcare bodies and patient groups have offered solutions. The BMA has been lobbying for thousands of extra beds to be brought into use with the right levels of staff to support them."
Jonathan Ashworth, Labour's Shadow Health Secretary, responded: "The use of escalation beds is yet another sign that hospitals are struggling to cope under continued pressure. We know this is compromising patient care. The Tories and, in Coalition, the Lib Dems have run down the NHS and imposed the biggest funding squeeze in its history. Ministers should be ashamed that years of cuts to beds, to social care and to funding have led to some of the worst bed occupancy rates in hospitals. The next Labour government will give the NHS the extra resources to ensure we have the quality of care patients deserve."


The Acton-Boxboro boys basketball team and the Central Catholic girls basketball team fell just short of reaching state championship games Tuesday.
Both teams fell in state semifinals, Acton-Boxboro to Putnam and Central Catholic to Braintree.
Acton-Boxboro never got into a rythym offensively, especially over the first three quarters, and the Colonials were edged at Worcester State.
The Colonials (21-3) trailed 13-6 after one quarter, 21-12 at halftime and 31-25 after three quarters. A-B got as close as three points down the stretch.
To reach the semifinal, Acton-Boxboro defeated St. John's Shrewsbury (66-53), Doherty (65-60) and Algonquin (55-41).
This one is going to sting for awhile for Central Catholic, the MVC power which controlled much of the game before a large crowd at the TD Garden in Boston.
But Braintree (21-4) closed with a 15-1 run to overtake Central (20-5). A Braintree player took a late charge to sew up the victory. The Lawrence school had advanced with wins over Arlington (63-35), Billerica (46-45), Peabody (64-48) and Belmont (49-32).

The sweaters are a fine idea! I have too many projects right now to start something new though. I have a new granddaughter that hasn't gotten her baby blanket yet. The knitting is all done, so I need to weave in the ends. Then there is another baby due in four weeks and I cast on her blanket this evening.
I did get a new to me spinning wheel last week and have done quite a bit of spinning today. I really needed the time at the wheel. My emotions have been haywire lately and the spinning helps me focus again.
Happy knitting on those sweaters and spinning of the polypay.

What's that in the sky? This week's essay took a look at the science and speculation that lay beneath the startling statistic that, at the time, nearly half of American adults believed that UFOs were real. For the previous two decades — since the "U.S. saucer era" began in 1947 with a sighting near Mount Rainier — enthusiasts, scientists and the Air Force had been trying to get to the bottom of the matter. Despite increasing interest and belief (and all sorts of psychological theories about the reasons why), scientists tended to hold firm that while extraterrestrial life was quite probable, the chance that a UFO had come all the way to our random planet was next to nil.
Gotta dance: A fun fact comes from this profile of Gene Kelly. Did you know that the reason he wore white socks, even with dark shoes and pants, was to draw attention to his feet on camera?
An eccentric Russian scientist, Elie Metchnikoff, is basically responsible. Puzzled by the longevity of villagers in the backwoods of Bulgaria, he bent over his test tubes at the Pasteur Institute in Paris in the early 1900s and concluded that so many Bulgarians lived to be more than 100 because they ate lots of fermented milk. Their yogurt contained Bacillus bulgaricus, which, Metchnikoff decided, chased out the "wild, putrefying bacilli in our large intestine." He consumed untold gallons himself, discoursed profusely about what he believed to be its beneficial effects, and died at the age of 71, leaving behind a mere handful of French yogurt enthusiasts.
That was before an enterprising Spaniard named Isaac Carasso began turning it out commercially during World War I. In 1929, in Paris, he opened a plant named Danone for his son Daniel, and called its product "the Dessert of Happy Digestion." Success was modest until the mid-1950s, when Danone caught the public fancy. In 1958, in the Paris suburb of Plessis-Robinson, Danone opened the world's largest yogurt factory, where 350 workers are able to turn out 1,600,000 pots (211,000 quarts) of yogurt a day, seven times as much as the largest U.S. manufacturer.
As a point of comparison, the global yogurt market in 2016 reached, by some counts, an estimated level of 13 million metric tons.

AN ELDERLY stroke victim was force-fed food and liquids by her own daughter in front of care workers, a court heard.
Karen Woodward also allegedly kicked her 83-year-old mum Julia on the ankle, the Liverpool Crown Court jury was told.
Opening the prosecution case Henry Riding said that watching Woodward holding her mother's nostrils to make her open her mouth to force feed her was the final straw for concerned carers and they told their boss.
Woodward, 48, of Gerrards Close, Aspull, is denying four offences of ill-treating a person lacking capacity.
Mr Riding told the jury that Julia Woodward suffered a stroke in February 2011 which left her needing assistance for all her basic needs.
Her daughter was her prime carer but she was assisted with care workers coming in several times a day, particularly while she was out at work.
Sometimes two carers were needed at the same time as happened on July 7 last year and they found Woodward "forcing drink down her mother's throat causing her to choke," he alleged.
Her mother had difficulty swallowing and had to have her food liquidized or broken into small pieces.
Woodward had a habit of giving her mother something to drink while she was on the toilet to make her cough as it assisted her in urinating, claimed Mr Riding.
"A care worker described Julia Woodward as having her head down and the defendant pushed her head backwards forcibly using the palm of one hand using it to keep it backwards.
"She poured drink into her mouth causing her to gag as she tried to swallow but it continued to be poured in for 10 to 15 seconds until her mother was forced to spit it out.
"The least experienced of the care workers said it was horrible to watch and she had to leave," said Mr Riding.
Two days later one of the carers, Gail Lowton, with a different colleague was back and they had trouble getting Julia Woodward to open her mouth for her food and one went to tell her daughter.
"Her response was to became angry and she had a nowty voice saying, 'there is only way to get this down her'.
She came into the room, pinched her nose by the nostrils forcing her mother to open her mouth and began spooning food into her mouth. It was effective force feeding," alleged Mr Riding.
"That seemed to be the final straw and one reported the matter to her superiors of the care company ... and the matter was brought to the attention of the police," he added.
Social workers became involved and Julia Woodward was moved to a residential home and her daughter charged by police.
The court heard that Gail Lowton also recalled an earlier incident in March last year when a hoist was being used to get the complainant on the toilet. She moved her leg causing potential danger and Woodward reacted "by shouting at her directly in her face and kicked out on her ankle.
"She also recalled it was the defendant's habit to pour drink down her mother's throat so as to get her to cough to get her to urinate on the toilet," added Mr Riding.
He told the jury that three of the charges that Woodward denies involve the alleged incidents on July 7 and 9 and the ankle incident in March.
The other charge relates to other incidents of her forcing drink down her mother's throat between January and July last year.
A senior care worker employed by the same Wigan firm, Combined Care Services, Lesley McGuinness, told the jury that on the evening of July 9 she received a phone call from a colleague who then forwarded her a text from Gail Lowton saying, "I'm sorry, I can't go into the Woodwards' ever again, it's not right, it is too upsetting.


Four acute-care hospitals in South Carolina, along with other regional providers, are banding together to develop a system of care for 149,000 low-income uninsured residents in Charleston and two other counties.
Since last summer, 14 out of 46 counties in South Carolina have launched such programs to expand healthcare services to the uninsured through a project of the South Carolina Hospital Association.
Participating providers in the counties receive technical support from AccessHealthSC, a program of the South Carolina Hospital Association funded by the Duke Endowment. The first step is to develop a community health system profile of available services. The University of South Carolina School of Public Health is helping with this phase of the project, which typically takes six to 12 months, according to AccessHealthSC.
Other participants include 656-bed MUSC Medical Center and 306-bed Trident Medical Center, both in Charleston; 106-bed East Cooper Regional Medical Center, Mount Pleasant; the Charleston County Medical Society; and the Trident United Way.

Google wants Apple to support its RCS messaging service
Apple's iMessage has become a must-have app for American teens. The messaging service is exclusive to Apple devices, prompting young people to provide supplies at home and shy away from the products Android offers. This approach is perceived by the competition as an unfair ploy.
Apple had previously informed that it would make its application compatible on Android devices. Having abandoned the idea, Hiroshi Lockheimer, the boss of Android, asks Apple to support the industry standard for Modern Messaging (RCS) on iMessage. Because by not adhering to it, not only would the firm slow down the development of its peers, but also prevent Android users from having an experience similar to those offered by Apple.
Will Apple lift the iMessage lock?
For analysts, the fact that Apple does not want to share iMessage could be a technique that aims to better sell its products. The company is then accused of unfair competition, which is bad publicity given that the firm bases its Marketing plan on humanity as well as equity.
Right now, it looks like Apple is firm on its decision to lock down its app. Because, for society, making iMessage available on Android would just reduce the gap between it and the competition. In a 2013 statement, former director Craig Federighi said Android users need to be made to depend on his products. One of the remaining questions would be whether there is a benefit to Apple that RCS integrates the functionality of iMessage.
Google's new modern messaging system: RCS
You should know that Google has long sought to develop a functional messaging system that could compete with Apple's iMessage. 13 applications, most of which are faulty, have been released since 2011. Then, in 2018, Google signed a partnership with a large number of operators and was finally able to develop its own messaging system.
Developed since 2007, Rich Communication Services (RCS) has taken a long time to develop. The application was not finalized until 2016. From 2018, a collaboration was formed between GSMA and Google resulted in the creation of a new messaging service. This new application will take the place of SMS and MMS and allow its users to switch to Chat mode, send photos and transfer files without the limits of MMS. However, integrating RCS with iMessage only benefits Google.

Cheerleaders for Anarchism
The financial crisis of 2007–2008 inspired a shallow but significant revival of Marxist analysis in academic life. A violent upsurge in theory, however, has corresponded to no particular insurrection in practice. If any radical left tendency has been responsible for inspiring action, the palm should go to Marxism's historic antagonist on the Left—anarchism.

The financial crisis of 2007–2008 inspired a shallow but significant revival of Marxist analysis in academic life. A violent upsurge in theory, however, has corresponded to no particular insurrection in practice. If any radical left tendency has been responsible for inspiring action, the palm should go to Marxism's historic antagonist on the Left—anarchism. Wherever movements have been provoked against neoliberalism, black flags have tended to outnumber red. Autonomista and other kinds of left-libertarian thought were major currents running through movements in Greece and Spain. The cornerstone for the occupation of Zuccotti Park was laid by anarchists, who also developed the consensus procedures by which the movement participants made (or occasionally failed to make) decisions. Even where demands have seemed social democratic, many of the more creative and disruptive protests fueling them have been anarchist.
The ongoing confinement of Marxism to the academy is in some ways to be expected—it is, as David Graeber often quips, "the only great social movement that was invented by a Ph.D." More surprising, however, is the relative absence of anything like a professedly anarchist viewpoint—whether anarchist social science or anarchist literary theory—in theoretical work. It's not the case that anarchists, with classic bodies of work and debates on natural selection and evolution as a model for cooperation (Kropotkin), the nature of revolutionary action (Bakunin), or the origins of private property (Proudhon), have nothing to say about matters long the province of Marxists. Still, anarchism seems to be chiefly visible and successful in the world of activism, rather than in that of social thought. It's as if (to cite a point also made by Graeber) Marxists and anarchists have submitted to a tacit division of labor: you handle the organizing, we'll handle the theory.
But it appears as if the more recent anarchist movements are beginning to leave their mark, with a spate of books that attempt to consolidate what may be a kind of anarchist theory for the twenty-first century. Like Marxist analysis, which often seeks to unmask the real tendencies of history beneath the surface of the quotidian, anarchist theory, too, has an unmasking strategy: it sees fervent activity where one might be tempted to see stasis and homogeneity. What looks like consent is actually resistance; what looks like capitalism's domination over everything actually conceals systems of mutual aid. Anarchist theory doesn't just advocate anarchism; it rather reveals that, beneath everything, we're more anarchist than we thought.
James C. Scott, a political scientist and anthropologist at Yale, has pursued anarchist themes, mostly in Southeast Asian history, for more than three decades. Though not an anarchist himself (he has described himself as a "crude Marxist, emphasis on the 'crude'"), his analysis of protest movements is ecumenical in an anarchist way, acknowledging all kinds of disruption as "political." And though he discusses inequalities of economic distribution, the focus of his disapprobation is usually unchecked exercise of state power, attempts by states at social engineering, something that distances him from more traditional socialists. In Scott's hands, anarchism isn't so much a socio-political doctrine as an anti-authoritarianism practiced, unselfconsciously, in everyday life—a means of insubordination running across societies everywhere.
Scott's Two Cheers for Anarchism (its title echoes E.M. Forster's Two Cheers for Democracy, and, less happily, Irving Kristol's neoconservative Two Cheers for Capitalism), a rambling bagatelle of a book, distills these arguments. Made up of a number of short prose sections, which the author self-exculpatorily dubs "fragments," Two Cheers recapitulates themes from Scott's previous books: that resistance takes a number of forms, very often hidden, and that states tend to suppress practical knowledge and human self-organization. For Scott, social movements gain influence through their will to disruption and the violent reactions disruption inspires—a rejoinder to moderates obsessed with policing movements internally. Scott holds up local or "vernacular" knowledge as superior to seemingly more enlightened, technocratic exercises of power. Local names for streets, regional languages, musical traditions, land-use practices: all are forms of practical knowledge that nation-states find "illegible" and seek to homogenize in the interests of hierarchical coordination, often destructively. Scott describes the failed attempts of scientific forestry to introduce standardized tree growth as an example of experts misreading the vernacular landscape.
Scott's book recasts anodyne liberal accounts of the past as evidence that movements were more anarchic than we remember. The reason that we recognize the name-brand organizations of the black freedom movement, such as the NAACP or SNCC is because, Scott tells us, "organized progressive interests achieve a level of visibility and influence on the basis of defiance that they neither incited nor controlled." Protests exceed the grasp of the organizations: "The widespread voter-registration drives, Freedom Rides, and sit-ins were the product of a great many centers of initiative and action….The enthusiasm, spontaneity, and creativity of the cascading social movement ran far ahead of the organizations wishing to represent, coordinate, and channel it." These sentences could equally describe Occupy Wall Street, which brought to birth many different forms of activity and organizations only after the start of the encampment-protest.
The difficulty is that, in Scott's hands, the failure of states tends to become axiomatic, whereas the failure of social movements hardly registers. Thus, he admits in one section that "massive disruption and defiance can, under some conditions, lead directly to authoritarianism or fascism rather than reform or revolution," without pursuing the implications. Meanwhile, he tends to treat the state as a transnational abstraction—"high modernist" in character, more interested in clean lines and smooth surfaces than in actual human practices. This ahistorical view of the state rarely takes into account changes over time, undermining Scott's overarching thesis.
In one symptomatic instance, Scott cites the failure of the enormous Pruitt-Igoe housing complex in St. Louis as a prime example of the high modernist state's failure. Built in the 1950s but demolished only two decades later, in 1972, after a steady deterioration, Pruitt-Igoe has long been taken to be a paradigmatic example of modernism's failure as an ideology: its insistence on tall, single-use buildings and complexes, arrayed orthogonally, against the low-rise haphazard density that most people seem to prefer. Unfortunately, this portrait is a myth that conceals vast changes in American political economy and the multifarious nature of state power. As architectural historian Katherine Bristol argued in a canonical 1990 article, Pruitt-Igoe deteriorated not because of the state's "high modernist" viewpoint, but because it was built for a city—expanding, prosperous, diverse, with a strong manufacturing base—that was disappearing. Moreover, the final form of the project, unsatisfactory as it was, emerged from a political struggle, not bureaucratic indifference. The original plans allowed for a mix of high-rise, mid-rise, and walk-up buildings. But the costs of this housing were higher than the federal limit—and, moreover, there was substantial political opposition to increased public housing budgets in the conservative 1950s. The net result was a seriously compromised project with inadequate funding, in a city already suffering economically from the flight of its tax base to the suburbs.
In the end the project did fail, but Scott's design-centric analysis provides the wrong explanation. Where he sees yet another sorry example of the high modernist state pushing its ideology, the real problem lies in organizations, electoral politics, and bureaucracy. Bundling these things together as "the state" only brackets and delays addressing the problem at hand. The sort of bureaucratic reasoning peculiar to the modern nation-state may finally turn out to be the enemy, but such a conclusion would carry more force if Scott examined that bureaucracy with as much care as he takes with the local, practical knowledge it destroys—or if he at least conceded the obvious limits of local knowledge. This is all the more imperative because Scott never denies the need for a state of some kind (only two cheers for anarchism), and he occasionally mentions activities that work only when coordinated by experts and impersonal mechanisms (transportation networks, space exploration, disease control). Without more significant gestures in favor of contravening arguments, however, his brief in favor of local knowledge seems to have all the passion, and weakness, of a moral preference—nothing less, but not more.
If the state and its bureaucracy routinely fail us, even when they try to make things better, what is the solution? David Graeber, in The Democracy Project, goes farther than Scott in turning the critique of the state into an occasion for outlining a positive project. He uses as his main case study Occupy Wall Street, with which he was intimately involved, and the theoretical basis of which he helped to articulate when the movement was at its visible peak in the fall of 2011. In this lucidly written but—by the standards of his other work—slight book, Graeber spends much of his time explaining the origins of Occupy Wall Street and defending its strategic choices and ideological profile against its critics. The book's most interesting material, however, consists of reflections on the sham of American democracy and Occupy's attempt to form a more democratic model.
Graeber has no patience with liberal pieties about U.S. freedoms and systems of representation. For him, the central proof of the system's illegitimacy is lobbying, which he rightfully prefers to call "bribery." "Once there was a time when giving politicians money so as to influence their positions was referred to as 'bribery' and it was illegal," he writes. "Now soliciting bribes has been relabeled 'fundraising' and bribery itself, 'lobbying.' Banks rarely need to ask for specific favors from politicians, dependent on the flow of bank money to shape or even write the legislation that is supposed to 'regulate' their banks. At this point, bribery has become the very basis of our system of government." But Graeber doesn't believe that the original American system was a purely democratic ideal, either. He reminds readers that the endlessly invoked Founders were in fact hostile to democracy as such. He speculates that any genuinely democratic aspects of the system may have come from the early Americans' proximity to less hierarchical societies, such as the Iroquois, and even from the comings and goings of pirates (themselves part of a larger transatlantic network of motley "primitive rebel" anticapitalists depicted in Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker's The Many-Headed Hydra). These historical speculations call to mind some of the anecdotes in Graeber's previous book, the inspired and brilliant Debt, where ethnographic examples about hierarchy and obligation spun out effortlessly into questions of moral and political philosophy. In these accounts, bureaucracy enters as a way of preserving the state's unaccountability through administration, despite its veneer of democracy. Anarchism is simply the superior form of democracy, Graeber seems to be saying, and its physical presence during the height of the occupations called into question everything that seemed to be less democratic—including the supposedly democratic American political system itself.
Of course, Graeber isn't breaking new ground in exposing the vacuousness and open criminality of the American system. It's so corroded that, even when it holds a regularly scheduled national election, a near-majority of the eligible regularly shirks its supposed citizenly responsibility. Thus, when Graeber explains why the Occupy movement deemed the American neoliberal state illegitimate, his reasoning gains force from its congruence with a broad spectrum of political opinion. He points out that Occupy's basic posture of refusal is what made it more successful than more timid and heavily organized past attempts to challenge the financial system. "It was only when a movement appeared that resolutely refused to take the traditional path," he writes, "that rejected the existing political order as inherently corrupt, that called for the complete reinvention of American democracy, that occupations immediately began to blossom across the country. Clearly, the movement did not succeed despite the anarchist element. It succeeded because of it."
Yet radical intransigence alone did not draw in socialists and other non-anarchists. Graeber spends little time on local demands that arms of the movement did make. In New York, members of the labor working group helped fight for contracts at Verizon and Sotheby's, while Occupy the SEC exhaustively details failures by the country's largest banking authority. More recently, in my own city of Philadelphia, activists from the labor working group have formed a broad coalition to fight school closings and privatization. These demands were partial acknowledgments of the existing political system's legitimacy, whether through the role of labor unions, of regulatory bodies, or public schooling—in other words, bureaucracies. Graeber's view that Occupy set itself the task of creating a superior form of democracy to the spurious one on offer is well taken. But rather than preventing negotiations with the state, such an attitude led many activists to see existing institutions as potentially open to democratization. Despite the veneer of demandlessness, Occupy often modeled democracy by pushing within, rather than over and against, what we already have. Many Occupiers were as compelled to defend as they were to attack.
Like Scott's and Graeber's works, Marina Sitrin's Everyday Revolutions is a work of advocacy. But unlike theirs, it presents new scholarship based on fieldwork and focused on experiences of autonomous organizing in a particular geographic region in a particular era. Over the last decade, Sitrin's reports of the Argentine movements' "horizontalist" form of decision-making have inspired activists elsewhere, including at Occupy Wall Street, and her new book constitutes her most thorough account of the movement.
Everyday Revolutions follows the movements that erupted following the spectacular collapse of the Argentine economy in 2001—the movements often referred to as "19th and 20th December," the days when the dispossessed took to the streets, famously banging pots and pans (cacerolazo is the neologism describing this type of protest, coming from the Spanish for "stew pot"), crying "¡Que se vayan todos!" ("They all must go") at some of neoliberalism's favorite children. But—following Scott's model—direct actions soon precipitated intertwined organizations: unemployed workers' protests, neighborhood assemblies, and "recuperated factories," now operating under workers' control.
Although the outward form of these movements have historic precedents, Sitrin flags their newness. One four-sentence paragraph uses the word "new" ten times to describe their various features. Sitrin argues that the Argentinean debacle exposed the entire state apparatus as illegitimate, leaving radical autonomy as the path not taken ("The wake of the break is the beautiful opening up of possibility," she writes, with an unfortunately characteristic infelicity of style). Rather than drawing sustenance from Argentina's rich radical past, the new movements have produced a "rupture" with that past, whether the populism of the Peróns or the left-wing guerrillas of the 1960s and 1970s who sought state power. Horizontalidad, "horizontality," is the word used by movement participants to encapsulate their process—it encompasses a non-hierarchical relationship between participants, a desire to strive for consensus, and an organization free from political party or state intrusion. It is this horizontal autonomy that, Sitrin further argues, is creating "new subjects," political actors who see themselves as protagonists of their own story, rather than constituents content with mere representation. In turn, the new forms of assembly lead to a politica afectiva, an "affective politics"—a politics based more on interpersonal relations, such as love for one another, than ideology. "It seems to me that other forms which were more ideologically based, such as 'we leftist revolutionaries,' ended up fragmenting the assemblies and alienating participation, because they were more closed," one of her interview subjects says (here quoted in a previous volume of oral history, Horizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina). "In this respect, the new politics need to have some affective quality." As for a comparative framework, Sitrin rarely strays from Argentina, except for occasional overnight flights to Chiapas, Mexico, where once again the Zapatistas are called upon for folktales, slogans, and watchwords for inspiration.
Sitrin's transcripts of factory workers and neighborhood assembly members describing their own actions make for the best reading in the book. And yet Sitrin's methodology, because it places a special emphasis on speaking from within the movement, renders some of her more expansive claims about the novelty of the movements harder to believe. She tends too often to celebrate their accomplishments, obfuscating those aspects of her analysis—when they briefly break free from the crushing embrace of the social movements—that suggest missteps, setbacks, and failures.
The autonomous movements' relationship with the state is one such point of ambiguity. Most social movement theory makes the state central to its analysis, viewing movements as chiefly concerned with making claims "on public authorities, other holders of power, competitors, enemies, and objects of popular disapproval," as Charles Tilly has it. Sitrin rightly wants to explain the movements in front of her, some of which, at least initially, don't follow this pattern, preferring instead to "build a new society in the shell of the old." She furthermore wants to judge success from the perspective of the movements themselves: if the "new subjects" see themselves as successful, then who is some observer social scientist to tell them otherwise? But then when the movements silently defect from the scholarly dictate of "autonomy" and engage the state, however partially, the theory shows its rigidity: it can neither sufficiently account for defections from the ideal nor describe them in any terms that would reflect badly on the movement. Caught between the twin aims of studying the movements and exalting them, Sitrin habitually defers to the latter.
In her final chapter, on the rise of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández (Kirchner's widow and successor as Argentina's president) and the subsequent re-establishment of state legitimacy, Sitrin's writing becomes more dispassionate and analytical, and the record of the movements begins to appear more checkered than the overall tone of the book might indicate. The movements in 2001 called for the downfall of the government—¡Que se vayan todos!—and they succeeded in pushing out four of them; but just two years later, the election of the left-leaning Peronist Kirchner was enough to tamp down the movements' activities. Unlike his more blatantly neoliberal predecessors, Kirchner pursued some egalitarian measures, while co-opting many segments of the movement and repressing with judicial measures more confrontational groups. He invited certain middle-class activists to participate in his government. Members of the piqueteros—the "picketers" who formed the core of the cacerolazo—formed groups in support of Kirchner. Among the recuperated workplaces—the most extraordinary and promising of the movement activities—there are many that have institutionalized by adopting forms of subcontracting or reorganizing as shareholding cooperatives. Sitrin admits that while some "have slightly different opinions of the state…as a whole there is no policy of 'autonomy' or [one of] working within the state." In other words, there is no overarching ideology at all, except keeping factories open and providing jobs to those who need them. The fact that many workplaces "are breaking with capitalist modes of relating but…not actively striving to eliminate capitalism" leads Sitrin to voice one of her few strategic criticisms, challenging the recuperated factory movement to develop a network of "national and international coordination." Versions of such networks actually exist. It would have benefited Sitrin's analysis if, instead of tediously invoking the Zapatistas, she had at least gestured toward a more relevant Latin American comparison—the worker-run industries of Venezuela and Brazil, which have at once productive and vexed relationships with the state.
Sitrin concludes on a note of hopefulness. "If the perspective is that of the movements, those people creating transformations within themselves and their communities," she writes, "then the answer is that they now feel more dignity and power—they are social subjects and agents in their lives, finding new ways to survive, together and with affect. They are successful." After she has listed a string of defeats, this declarative seems decidedly unearned. The movements may not have succeeded so much as shifted their aims, so as to define success more narrowly. As Sitrin herself, in her less guarded moments, seems to allow, the enduring problem of autonomous movements is resilience, the ability to carry the movement and expand it over the long haul. Though Sitrin assures us that the movements continue to carry out "quieter, everyday revolutions" in subjectivities and relationships on a small scale all over the country, the success the Kirchners had in suppressing its vital force indicates that its durability remains an open question.
One finishes these books impressed by their optimism. Where classical Marxism maintained an abiding faith in the role of the working class in constructing international socialism, anarchism retains a similar faith in the ability of human beings to self-organize, free from instruments of coercion. "We are already anarchists," writes Graeber, "or at least we act like anarchists, every time we come to understandings with one another that would not require physical threats as a means of enforcement." With that basic understanding in place, the causes for hope are enormous—expanding already existing forms of mutual aid and reciprocity seems like a huge, endless task for coming generations, but in some ways an imaginable one. It helps, too, that historical experience ratifies the anarchist belief more readily than it does the Marxist analogue: entire societies have operated without states, with systems broadly resembling those of anarchist cooperation.
Yet as a theory of change, anarchism remains fragmentary, perhaps inevitably so. Seizing hopefulness away from the poised guillotine of history, anarchists celebrate the isolated examples they have saved. This has the peculiar effect of making anarchist theories of social movements less flexible than many others, tending to ignore instances in which bureaucracies or institutions have played important roles or interacted productively with autonomist movements. While the accounts on offer affirm otherwise hidden action and resistance (an analytical "propagandism of the deed"), states and affiliated institutions descend like large, unyielding, ahistorical monoliths—silent, menacing, inexorable. But the lessons of the political history provided in these books often can be read as inversions of anarchist dicta: states are more varied and malleable than we often believe; existing bureaucracies can administer justice as well as injustice; and social movements endure often by finding institutional forms, and by inserting themselves in, or overturning, the state apparatus. To be fair, each author would probably concede versions of these statements—Graeber and Scott, at least, have admitted the need for impersonal institutions and have noted how alliances between radicals and liberals can provoke banal "progressive" political changes.
The result, nevertheless, is an attitude of avowed political openness that is less pliable than it seems to be: one that defers to social movements to determine future arrangements but prescribes the kind of social movement activity that is worth supporting. This has consequences for the theoretical power of anarchism. Developing a complex and durable society requires not just inspiration from ethical examples, but a kind of pessimism over the past and future, an honest awareness of historic obstacles and movement failures alongside hidden victories and "everyday revolutions." In one section, Graeber implies that the revolutionary surge of 2011 may herald deeper undercurrents of change than the movement's superficial defeats presage—akin to what happened after the supposedly vanquished worldwide revolts of 1848 and 1968. Such optimism is bracing; but the basis for such speculation is still slim, with evidence for successful reactionary retrenchment as widely available as that for incremental political transformation. It's difficult to extrapolate a plausible future from promising moments of direct action alone. Resolving the disjunction between action and strategy remains the pressing task for anarchist theory: to imagine how spectacular moments of political freedom for some can be turned into longterm movements and into victories that secure lasting freedoms for all.

The way some climbers are promoting themselves through social media often leaves me feeling that our sport's soul is in rapid decline—something I know isn't true, but still can't help feeling cynical about at times.
Thankfully, climbing's soul is hard to kill, and it still burns bright in people such as Brette Harrington, a climber who you may have never even heard about.
In fact, Brette is one of the best female trad climbers and free soloists out there.
Brette, 24, grew up in Lake Tahoe, and started sport climbing at age 15 in New Hampshire, where she attended a boarding school. From there, she moved on to trad climbing in Squamish, British Columbia, and has since become a staple member of this unassuming Canadian climbing community.
Today, Brette has amassed a number of impressive achievements, but perhaps the grandest one is when she free soloed, in just three hours, the 20-pitch Chiara di Luna (5.11a) on the west face of Saint Exupery, Patagonia, in February 2015. This route had been soloed before by Alex Huber in 2011, but he self-belayed sections using a rope. Brette's was the first free solo of the route. Also, it was the first time a woman soloed, including free-soloed, to a Patagonian summit.
Climbing sans rope appears to be something that Brette enjoys. "If I go free soloing in the morning, my entire day is calm and peaceful after that," she says.
Her hardest ascents have all been of trad climbs. She's redpointed Grand Illusion (5.13c) at Sugarloaf, and she also nearly free climbed The Free Muir (5.13c) on El Capitan, sending every pitch except for one 5.12a traverse, where she fell at the crux and couldn't return due to the nature of the traversing pitch.
She has also put up a number of first ascents that include Vanguardia (5.12c) and Catharsis Crack (5.10d), both in Squamish. She FA'd La Pluma (5.12b) and Semático Temático (5.10d, three pitches), and completed a first free ascent of Dividend del Espacio (5.12b, five pitches), all in Frey, Argentina.
In the great Waddington Range of B.C., she helped establish the first ascent of the Integral South Ridge of Dentiform (5.9 TD), and Straight No Chaser (5.11 A1 TD+) on the Direct South Ridge of Serra 2.
There aren't many women that I know of who are putting up hard, new trad climbs in the mountains, and aside from the obvious example of Steph Davis, even fewer women are free-soloing big, long routes at a high level.
Recently, Brette and her boyfriend, Marc-Andre Leclerc (himself an exceptional free-soloist and alpinist, who recently nabbed the first free solo of Cerro Torre), have been working to establish a new six-pitch bolted route in the Hydrophobia cirque, in the Waiprous River Valley, outside of Canmore, Alberta.
"We bolted the entire route on lead, which was a new experience for me," says Brette.
While bolting the route, the two camped in a tent in this remote region for month, a time in which they rarely saw another person. They charged their old Hilti batteries using a generator that they hiked in three kilometers from the car. At night, neon-green northern lights pulsated in the sky, so they decided to name the route Auroraphobia to keep with the "phobia"-themed names of the area.
They've redpointed all pitches of the entirely-overhanding route, except the second one. So far every pitch is either 5.12 or 5.13.
I reached out to Brette to find out more about who she is, just before she and Marc left on a two-month-long expedition to Baffin Island.
I was always interested in climbing. Even as a young kid I chose to do my school book reports on mountaineering novels such as Tenzing Norgay and Edmond Hillary's Everest expedition. Climbing Everest became my first life dream. During those years my family began to take vacations to Yosemite, where I learned about wall climbing.
At age 16, I moved to New Hampshire where I went to a boarding school called Holderness. I joined the school climbing team. It was not a competitive team and we never climbed in gyms. We climbed at Rumney during the week, North Conway on the Saturdays, and went for trail runs when it rained.
I moved to British Columbia for university in Vancouver, and I spent my weekends climbing in Squamish.
Marc and I met in Squamish. I was headed out climbing with his roommate and we stopped by their house to grab some things. Marc came out and offered me a smoke. I declined, but this started our friendship. I ended up living in their bouldering shed on the weekends, then moved onto the sofa that winter. We all climbed together for the next few years.
Do you prefer to climb with other women, or with men, or does it matter?
It really doesn't matter for me the gender of who I'm climbing with because I can learn something new from everyone. It is, however, easier for me to understand a woman's movements versus men's, so I can follow beta and technique better. Marc has such a strong mind and, climbing with him, I've learned a great deal about managing fear and risk.
When did you realize you liked free soloing?
Free soloing came as a natural part of alpine climbing. The first alpine climb I went on involved a decent amount of free soloing across a 5.9-ish gully to escape rock fall, then a 4th class decent down the ridge.
How often do you solo?
I go through phases. Right now I solo almost every day, but I can go months without soloing anything. Marc and I team free-soloed an 1,100-meter peak called Mt. Colonel Foster the other day, which got me re-psyched on alpine scrambling. I solo multi-pitches on the Chief in Squamish, usually in the 5.9 to 5.10 range. I'm quite particular in choosing the routes I free solo and back off frequently.
In 2015, you had a big breakthrough year in Patagonia with your solo of Chiara di Luna. This past season, you returned and it seemed like many people were expecting a repeat performance. What happened?
I got super sick in Patagonia this season. What started as a minor cold transformed into full-blown pneumonia and lung infection after I attempted to climb in the Chaltén Massif. I think it was the long approach carrying heavy backpacks that really did me in. I went to the hospital and was put on antibiotics. Ten days later the conditions had changed so I traveled north to climb towers in Frey. I had a great time climbing multi pitches, working on projects and I established two new routes!
Do you have any climbing rituals?
It's really important for me to have a clear mind before climbing. I climb much better when I'm calm, so I often stretch and focus on my breathing before heading out to climb.
How do you decide whether to back off from a free solo—or go for it?
I've backed off of free solos in the past when I've come to a move that I'm uncomfortable with, and I can not foresee the difficulty of rest the rest of the route; typically while on sighting. I've also backed off of routes that I've already soloed in the past. Each day is different for me so I just have to listen to my body and energy levels to know what's right.
Even though you're an American, I kind of count you as being part of this Canadian contingent of really strong, unknown crushers who, for some reason, few Americans know much about. Are Canadian climbers in general more self-effacing than climbers from, say, Colorado?
In Squamish it's definitely not cool to brag about your climbs, at least within the core community. There's a younger generation of Squamish climbers that hold on to a more old-school mentality of climbing, where the routes are more stiffly graded and the bolts tend to be spaced enough to challenge the mental game. I guess it's an effort to maintain a high standard of climbing.
Do you want to give a shout out to any of these undercover Canadian badasses who are too humble to spray about themselves?
Yea! Here's a shout-out to Tony Mclane. Tony's somewhat of a dark horse of Squamish climbing, and he's doing really cool ascents that somehow slide under the media radar. He's done one-day solo ascents of both The Nose and the Salathé Wall. He's soloed All Along the Watchtower, and done a day ascent of El Corazon on Fitzroy. He has scrambled numerous alpine faces in B.C. and challenging multi-pitch climbs in Squamish, as well as done numerous FAs all over the map!
I wasn't introduced to the climbing culture, media, pros, etc. until long after I was into climbing. I was really only interested in climbing for myself so I guess I never really looked deeper into it.
I've always found media a bit odd, to tell the truth. Not just within climbing, but all sorts of popular media. Everything tends to be exaggerated, which is just something to be aware of. I studied literature in university and we frequently analyzed different media outlets from past generations. I've realized that media follows the same trends across time.
Are you still interested in climbing Everest one day?
As of now, my climbing interests are focused primarily on technical climbs, big walls and fun alpine climbs. Perhaps in the future, I will become more interested in high-altitude mountaineering and will find the inspiration to climb on the lesser traveled faces of Everest.
Amazing. Love the anti-bragging, and disinterest in the media approach.
The Patagonia solo sounds risky though just because of the potential for the weather to change quickly I'd have thought?
Typical. Where are comments like this on LeClerc's pages, or Haley's, or Caldwell's, or Honnold's… Double standard much?
Great interview! Met Brette this spring at Smith, showin her mom what climbing was like, they were both super encouraging, fun people!
For the sake of accuracy, Marc-Andre did not do the first free solo of Cerro Torre was done by Markus Pucher.
Nice intro and interview. Also a nice, understated response to the kerfuffle a few months back on first female ascents etc.
It goes without saying that Brette is rad, but then after I submitted my comment I felt bad about commending you and not her. Haha.
What is the name of the route featured in the last climbing photo? The photo with the crack through the roof.

Q: Talend open studio - How to rename existing project I have this already existing Talend Open Studio project that I simply wish to rename from "testProject1" for example, to "Project1".
Can someone provide simple step by step please as for some forums talk about IMPORTING AN EXISTING PROJECT AND SIMPLY PROVIDE A NEW NAME and then CLICK ON THE BROWSE BUTTON BUT POINT to the already existing project name (testProject1).
Does anyone know if this will work ? Do we need to then copy/paste some folders here and there or no need ? Anyone knows another way to rename an already existing project name?

A: FYI. I haven't tested it on old TOS (Talend Open Studio). The current TOS version I'm using is 7.3
Let's say we want to rename the current project name OLD_PROJECT_NAME to NEW_PROJECT_NAME

*

*Close TOS

*Go to your workspace and open your project root folder

*Look for .project file and open it with your favorite text editor

*Change OLD_PROJECT_NAME, to the one you wanted and also rename the root folder name with the new name. For the sake of example, NEW_PROJECT_NAME

*Opentalend.project file and changetechnicalLabel attribute value to the new project name. Make the name all in uppercase. and change label attribute value to the project name you wanted in any letter case you want
(if you don't get one, you can skip this step)

*Open TOS and now you won't see the OLD_PROJECT_NAME on the list

*Click on Import an existing project

*On the new window, for Project Name, insert the new project name NEW_PROJECT_NAME and for Select root directory click browse and go inside your root folder and click Select Folder
If you encountered java.lang.NullPointerException while importing, move the newly renamed project folder to a desktop or other working area.
You can now start the import from there. This will copy the project to the Talend workspace after the import is done.

*DONE

A: I would suggest that create a new project with whatever name you have and import all the jobs from the previous project. Previous project's folder will be in workspace folder or whatever path you have set for the workspace.
Alternate solution is given in the following link :
https://www.talendforge.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=41577
Google well before posting a question.

More than half of American K-12 public school students won't be going back this year
08/18/2020 chicago, coronavirus, illinois, local records office, news
ILLINOIS — More than half of American K-12 public school students won't be going back to the classroom so far this school year because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to an ongoing survey that looked at thousands of school calendars nationwide.
About half of Illinois students are poised to return to schools in person this month or next, according to Chalkbeat. The state is fairly split by region, with most school districts in the Chicago area planning full remote learning, while students in the rest of the state are set to return to class in person. Several districts in the Chicago area are also offering a hybrid or blended schedule mixing in-person and remote learning.
Some of the largest districts in the state will start the year fully remote, including Chicago Public Schools, Elgin School District U-46, Joliet Public Schools District 86 and Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202, where the school board initially failed to pass an all-remote plan but later approved an amended version of the plan.
Other Illinois districts are reopening virtually with plans for in-person classes in the near future. District 218 Community High School students will return to classes remotely in August, with plans to return to the classroom after Labor Day.
Some districts that originally planned to offer parents a choice between in-person and remote learning have since reversed their decision and gone entirely remotely. Others that planned to fully reopen have since reversed their decisions, opting for remote e-learning instead.
Other districts that originally planned to offer in-person learning have also flip-flopped, citing Illinois Department of Public Health guidelines they say make it "virtually impossible" to have in-person learning.
Meanwhile, many private schools — including Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Chicago — are planning to fully reopen. In the suburbs, one Christian school — targeted in a lawsuit filed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker — is fully reopening, noting that masks are "optional." Joliet Catholic Academy, meanwhile, is offering a "hybrid" of four days of in-person instruction and one day of e-learning per week.
In some districts, Illinois parents have expressed a preference for in-person learning — or at least having some in-person learning. In one district that's offering choice, nearly 4,000 students are set to return to school buildings five days a week for about two hours at a time.
So far, more than four out of five North Shore School District 112 families given the option have opted into classroom instruction in the fall, according to district officials.
In late June, a news survey of parents also showed that while moms and dads remain wary, most of those who responded were in favor of opening schools for in-person learning with mask requirements.
An agonizing decision
Districts across the nation have been debating whether to open schools and, if so, how. And parents have been agonizing over whether to send their kids if and when schools do open.
The Burbio.com study shows 52 percent of students across the country are going to begin the 2020-2021 school year online, while 44 percent will attend some form of in-person learning in the fall, and 4 percent of school districts remain undecided as of Aug. 11.
"What we found was similar regions across the country were doing similar things," Dennis Roche, president, and co-founder of the Pelham, New York-based Burbio.com, told several news outlets.
"A lot of big cities flipped about a week-and-a-half ago," Roche said, specifically mentioning decisions made to go fully remote in Chicago and Pittsburgh.
The Burbio study looked at more than 80,000 K-12 school calendars across 12,000 school districts, actively monitored more than 35,000 schools, and reviewed district plans every 72 hours to account for changes. See the survey's full methodology here.
Of the 200 largest school districts across the country, the survey found that 66 percent will be going all virtual. The smaller the school district, trends show, the more likely it is that students will be headed back to the classroom.
"The more communication there is between the teachers, the board and the parents is where they seem to be getting back into school," Roche said, pointing to a map that shows how often students in each county are going to be in school.
Among the 44 percent of students nationwide that will have in-person schooling, 25 percent will go to school daily to start the year while 19 percent will participate in some form of hybrid model that combines learning in school and at home.
Roche said the number of districts going virtual "could slip a little higher" than the 52 percent it stood at on Aug. 11.
"We aren't seeing any schools that were going to be virtual switching to in-person," he said.

Stupidocrisy: The self-inflicted mandate poison pill
November 3, 2021 / Bill Wilson / Comments Off on Stupidocrisy: The self-inflicted mandate poison pill
Everywhere we look, these unconstitutional vaccine mandates are wreaking havoc on Americans. If this continues, it won't be long before unemployment will be at record levels, the economy will be slowed to a standstill, and people's lives will be in danger across the board. Think about it: Chicago isn't the safest place in the world as it is. What will happen if the police, firefighters, ambulance first responders, nurses and doctors are no longer allowed to show up for work because they choose not to be FORCED to take the COVID 19 shot? Woah, it's not just Chicago. New York, Minneapolis, many other cities, even the US military and government offices. This is a self-inflicted poison pill.
The Biden Administration can't be this stupid. It seems like a strategic plan. By mandating involuntary vaccinations to people who refuse them, Biden and his band are playing with fire. These mandates not only impact the economy, they impact the national security. The Epoch Times reports that in the Air Force alone, which is pretty important, "11,462 airmen have not begun a vaccination program before the Nov. 2 deadline to become fully vaccinated. Another nearly 12,000 reserve personnel or Space Force members remain unvaccinated, according to data released by the Air Force. Reserves have until Dec. 2 to become fully vaccinated." As of Oct. 27, over 381,000 troops in other service branches remain unvaccinated.
The Epoch Times also reported that "Approximately two in five New York City restaurants, gyms, and entertainment venues weren't fully abiding by the city's COVID-19 vaccination pass mandate when first inspected. The city managed to inspect nearly two-thirds of the estimated 31,000 businesses that are required to ask their employees and customers for proof of vaccination. Some 8,000 were issued a warning for noncompliance. Of those, more than 3,300 for infractions that would have led to violations which could be penalized with a fine of $1,000 for the first and going up to $5,000 for the third. Upon second inspection at least two weeks later, only 21 establishments were issued violations, according to Jeff Dupee, City Hall's senior adviser managing the mandate." This may be a peek into where the rest of the country might be headed.
Reuters reports, "Opposition to the mandate could potentially lead to thousands of U.S. workers losing their jobs and imperil an already sluggish economic recovery." People from across all aspects of the economy are protesting the mandates as civil rights violations. It's one thing to get the shot voluntarily, but to be compelled involuntarily either directly or indirectly at threat of losing your job or ability to freely participate in society is tyrannical. And if it continues, it will have an entirely negative impact on the nation's economy and national defense. The Lord says in Jeremiah 23:1, Woe be unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture." America is scattered by very bad leaders who are force feeding a poison pill to destroy the freedoms and economic engines that prosper it. Say it with me…Stupidocrisy.

1st December 2016 - Adam Sherrard, Norfolk.
"Good service, Have been ordering coal for the past three year . only downside is that I don't always get firelights, with orders, and have to phone up and then they are send by post .I will continue to place my coal order with you , "

"I bought a (metric) tonne of Scottish Coal doubles in Sept 2015. Every bag has burnt well and provided a fantastic open fire with a lovely warm glow. Over a year later I'm about halfway through the last purchase and I've worked out that heating our home with these for approx £8 a month (obviously no fires in the warmer months) is a MASSIVE saving on using the central heating and paying out to British Gas. Obviously make sure you've got room for 40 x 25 bags if buying a tonne, but 1/2 and 1/4 tonnes still represent great value for money."
16th November 2016 - Greg, Southampton.

9th November 2016 - david hobbs, Kent.
"Excellent product, easy lighting, high heat output, delivery driver couldn't have been more helpful, I bought a quarter pallet to try and will be buying a full pallet very soon, so much simpler than using wood, set the fire , light, sit back and enjoy the warmth, couldn't ask for more."
28th October 2016 - Norman Harrison, Cheshire.
"Fantastic service all round, could not recommend enough!"

T.I. Hoping To Release "Trouble Man" At End Of Year
By Rose Lilah
Rose Lilah
@roselilahhshit
Grand Hustle's boss, T.I., won't be releasing "Trouble Man" in September as he doesn't want to rush the project.
T.I. continues to put in work for his upcoming album, Trouble Man.
Although he was originally aiming for a September release, Tip now says he's trying to get it finished for the end of the year, as he wants to make it perfect. The ATLien told MTV News:
"Me being the perfectionist that I am, I'm still tweaking and fine-tuning, trying to perfect all parts of this project," Tip told MTV News, confirming that the album won't be complete for another few months. "I did, like, 124 songs, and I've narrowed it down to 86 now, so now I have to continue to narrow down and continue to make it better."
He continued, "I'm not trying to paint myself into a corner with a date. I'm trying to make sure that the project is the absolute best it could be, and I'm trying to get it down by the end of the year."
From those 86 songs, Tip's hoping to cut it down to 14 or 15 for a complete project.

Charlie loves his bright red purse, so why does everyone else have a problem with it?
Charlie loves the bright red purse that his grandmother let him have. One day, he decides to take it to school. First his father, then his friends, and even the crossing guard question him about his "strange" choice. After all, boys don't carry purses. But Charlie isn't deterred. Before long, his unselfconscious determination starts to affect those around him. His father puts on his favorite Hawaiian shirt to go to work, his friend Charlotte paints her face, and the crossing guard wears a pair of sparkly shoes. Thanks to Charlie, everyone around him realizes that it isn't always necessary to conform to societal norms. It's more important to be true to yourself. With its humorous, energetic illustrations, this book is sure to entertain young readers. It can also be used to open a discussion on gender roles.
