Today's offering is such a favorite of mine that I can't believe I've never posted it before. It's place in my collection goes back to my earliest days of collecting song-poems.
In "Let Me Live Again", Gene Marshall gives us a rousing portrayal of a man who is praying for relief in so many areas it makes my head spin. If God is capable of getting whiplash, this is the sort of prayer that might do it. It's not enough to solemnly pray for internal improvement - for relief from being a junkie and a drunk - the list quickly expands to (among other things) freedom for children, freedom from pollution, and a wish for something that goes beyond simple peace between the races. He even wants the grass to be greener! It all culminates with a fairly soulful and wonderful excited expression of the title. All in just two minutes!
Some time in the near future, I plan to upgrade the first two dozen or so posts from this blog, (prior to the focus on song-poems) when I was posting the songs themselves to an external site that required a password. It was a clunky process, which I did away with when I started using divshare, but those initial posts do not have sound files attached to them. Sometime soon, I'll rectify that, and post links.
Before I get to this week's offering, I've forgotten for two weeks now to alert any of you that might be interested that I made a post to WFMU which has a bit of overlap with the song-poem world. It's my second visit to the amazing releases on the Fable Label, some of which may have been song-poems, all of which are wonderful in their own way. That post is here.
Please note that the above song was written by Del Rush, who wrote the equally amazing "We Like the Kentucky Hills", which I offered up in my final post for 2010.
The flip side, "Peace of Mind", is notable for using a modified blues progression that Tin Pan Alley performers used over and over again on their records, for another set of winning lyrics, and for another singular performance by the Melodiers.
I'm sure, if you're anything like me (or like song poem lyricist Marion Trautman), you've been kept up many nights by the thought of Barry Sadler's "The Ballad of the Green Berets", wondering, focusing, fantasizing, obsessing over one question: "But what happened NEXT?".
Well, your prayers have been answered, because Rodd Keith, and the aforementioned Ms. Trautman, have teamed up to answer all of those questions, with the song "Green Beret's Last Request".
I'll also mention that this record sounds to me less like a typical Preview label release, and much more like a Sterling Label record, from the band sound to the use of echo. Since dozens of Preview records from this era (although not this one) show the involvement of Sterling boss Lew Tobin, this similar sound may not be a coincidence!
Unfortunately, this is not a twin spin for Cara, as the flip side is handled by Johnny Michaels, who I suspect may be the same singer who was sometimes billed as Jeff Reynolds, on records with a connection (as this one has) to Lee Hudson. This song also pays tribute to the 50th state, casting the islands as the home of the singer's "Lovely Lady".

Ukrainians escape besieged Sumy in first evacuation corridor agreed with Russia
Posted on March 8, 2022 March 8, 2022 Author TNR Staff Comments(3)
By Reuters and published by The Irish Times plus BBC
A FIRST convoy of residents and foreign students has left the Ukrainian city of Sumy after an agreement with Russia on establishing a humanitarian corridor, officials said today (Mar. 8).
"We have already started the evacuation of civilians from Sumy to Poltava (in central Ukraine), including foreign students," the foreign ministry said in a tweet. "We call on Russia to agree on other humanitarian corridors in Ukraine."
Ukrainian officials said evacuations began from Sumy and from the town of Irpin near Kyiv today. The move came after Russian and Ukrainian officials agreed to establish "humanitarian corridors" to allow civilians out of some towns and cities besieged by Russian forces.
"As of 9.30 a.m.(2.30 p.m. in Thailand), more than 150 people have been evacuated and (evacuation) activities are underway," said Oleksiy Kuleba, governor of the Kyiv region.
Civilians have been trapped by fighting since Russian troops invaded Ukraine on February 24th. Moscow calls its actions in Ukraine a "special military operation."
In the encircled southern port city of Mariupol, hundreds of thousands of people remained trapped without food and water under regular bombardments.
BBC got reports that Russian forces are shelling an evacuation route out of the besieged city of Mariupol.
Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesperson Oleg Nikolenko said Russian forces were attacking the humanitarian corridor between the city and Zaporizhzhia, 225km (139 miles) to the north-east.
Eight trucks and 30 buses are on their way to deliver humanitarian aid to the city and to evacuate civilians to Zaporizhzhya, he said.
Civilians have been living there without running water or power for almost a week and food is running out.
The number of refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine has passed two million, the UN has told the BBC.
Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, previously called the mass exodus from the country the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War Two.
Russia opened humanitarian corridors today from Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Mariupol, the Interfax news agency quoted the Russian defence ministry as saying.
The defence ministry added that Russian forces in Ukraine had introduced a "silent regime" from 7 a.m. GMT ( 2 p.m. in Thailand), Interfax reported.
Ukraine on Monday rejected Russian proposals to evacuate Ukrainians to Russia or Belarus.
Russia's offensive in Ukraine continued but at a significantly slower pace today, Ukraine's armed forces said. Ukrainian military and intelligence earlier said a second senior Russian commander had been killed, as frightened residents fled bombed-out cities.
Fears of an energy war between Russia and the West also grew today after the United States pushed its allies to ban Russian oil imports as punishment for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
In the city of Irpin, on the northwest edge of Kyiv, residents ran with their young children in strollers, or cradling babies in arms, while others carried pet carriers and plastic bags and suitcases.
"It's like a disaster, the city is almost ruined, and the district where I'm living, it's like there are no houses which were not bombed," said one young mother, holding a baby beneath a blanket, while her daughter stood by her side.
"Yesterday was the hardest bombing, and the lights and sound is so scary, and the whole building is shaking."
Ukraine's military intelligence said today that Ukrainian forces killed a Russian general near the besieged city of Kharkiv, the second Russian senior commander to die in the invasion.
Major general Vitaly Gerasimov, first deputy commander of Russia's 41st army, was killed on Monday, the chief directorate of intelligence of Ukraine's defence ministry said in a statement.
Ukraine's general staff of the armed forces said the Russian offensive continues although at a significantly slower pace.
Russia's defence ministry could not be immediately reached for comment and Reuters could not verify the reports.
Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a "special operation" that it says is not designed to occupy territory but to destroy its southern neighbour's military capabilities and capture what it regards as dangerous nationalists.
Kyiv has rejected Moscow's offer of possible humanitarian corridors to Russia and Belarus.
However, Moscow has since proposed giving the residents of the cities of Sumy and Mariupol the choice of moving elsewhere in Ukraine today, setting a deadline in the early hours for Kyiv to agree, Russian news agencies reported.
After the third attempt to ease the bloodshed at talks in Belarus, negotiators warned not to expect the next round to bring a final result. The Russian and Ukrainian foreign ministers are expected to meet in Turkey on Thursday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Reuters Moscow would halt operations if Ukraine ceased fighting, amended its constitution to declare neutrality, and recognised Russia's annexation of Crimea and the independence of regions held by Russian-backed separatists.
Flow of gas
Meanwhile, Russia warned it could stop the flow of gas through pipelines from Russia to Germany in response to Berlin's decision last month to halt the opening of the controversial new Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Russia supplies 40 percent of Europe's gas.
"We have every right to take a matching decision and impose an embargo on gas pumping through the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline," Russian deputy prime minister Alexander Novak said on Monday.
Novak also warned that oil prices could more than double to $300 (€276) a barrel if the United States and its allies banned imports of Russian oil, a crucial source of revenue after the country was effectively frozen out of Western financial markets.
Analysts at Bank of America however said that if most of Russia's oil exports were cut off there could be a shortfall of 5 million barrels per day (bpd) or more, pushing prices as high as $200 (€184).
Oil prices see-sawed near 14-year highs today, with Brent crude futures up $1.06 (90c), or 0.9 per cent, at $124.27 (€114.21) a barrel at 2.23 a.m. GMT (9.23 a.m. in Thailand), after trading as high as $125.19 (€115.16).
US president Joe Biden held a video conference call with the leaders of France, Germany and Britain on Monday as he pushed for their support to ban Russian oil imports.
But if need be, the United States was willing to move ahead without allies in Europe, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. Many countries on the continent are heavily reliant on Russian energy.
Japan tightened its sanctions today, freezing the assets of an additional 32 Russian and Belarusian officials and executives of companies with close ties to the government.
Estee Lauder Companies Inc joined a long list of firms exiting Russia, suspending all commercial activities and closing all its stores in the country.
A senior US defence official said Russian president Vladimir Putin had now deployed nearly 100 per cent of the more than 150,000 forces that he had pre-staged outside Ukraine before the invasion.
A Russian strike on a bread factory killed 13 in the town of Makarov in the Kyiv region, Ukrainian officials said. Reuters could not verify the details. Russia denies targeting civilians.

Q: changing source on html5 video tag I'm trying to build a video player that works everywhere. so far I'd be going with:
<video>
    <source src="video.mp4"></source>
    <source src="video.ogv"></source>
    <object data="flowplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
        <param name="movie" value="flowplayer.swf" />
        <param name="flashvars" value='config={"clip":"video.mp4"}' />
    </object>
</video>

(as seen on several sites, for example video for everybody)
so far, so good.
But now I also want some kind of playlist/menu along with the video player, from which I can select other videos. Those should be opened within my player right away. So I will have to "dynamically change the source of the video" (as seen on dev.opera.com/articles/everything-you-need-to-know-html5-video-audio/ - section "Let's look at another movie") with Javascript. Let's forget about the Flash player (and thus IE) part for the time being, I will try to deal with that later.
So my JS to change the <source> tags should be something like:

The problem is, this doesn't work in all browsers. Namely, in Firefox there is a nice page where you can observe the problem I'm having: http://www.w3.org/2010/05/video/mediaevents.html
As soon as I trigger the load() method (in Firefox, mind you), the video player dies.
Now I have found out that when I don't use multiple <source> tags, but instead just one src attribute within the <video> tag, the whole thing does work in Firefox.
So my plan is to just use that src attribute and determine the appropriate file using the canPlayType() function.
Am I doing it wrong somehow or complicating things?

A: According to the spec

Dynamically modifying a source element and its attribute when the
  element is already inserted in a video or audio element will have no
  effect. To change what is playing, just use the src attribute on the
  media element directly, possibly making use of the canPlayType()
  method to pick from amongst available resources. Generally,
  manipulating source elements manually after the document has been
  parsed is an unncessarily complicated approach.

So what you are trying to do is apparently not supposed to work.

A: Just put a div and update the content...

<button onClick="setvideo('video1.mp4');">Video1</button>

A: Modernizr worked like a charm for me.
What I did is that I didn't use <source>. Somehow this screwed things up, since the video only worked the first time load() was called. Instead I used the source attribute inside the video tag -> <video src="blabla.webm" /> and used Modernizr to determine what format the browser supported.

Hopefully this will help you :)
If you don't want to use Modernizr , you can always use CanPlayType().

A: I have a similar web app and am not facing that sort of problem at all.  What i do is something like this:
var sources = new Array();

sources[0] = /path/to/file.mp4
sources[1] = /path/to/another/file.ogg
etc..

then when i want to change the sources i have a function that does something like this:
this.loadTrack = function(track){
var mediaSource = document.getElementsByTagName('source')[0];
mediaSource.src = sources[track];

    var player = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
    player.load();

}

I do this so that the user can make their way through a playlist, but you could check for userAgent and then load the appropriate file that way.  I tried using multiple source tags like everyone on the internet suggested, but i found it much cleaner, and much more reliable to manipulate the src attribute of a single source tag.  The code above was written from memory, so i may have glossed over some of hte details, but the general idea is to dynamically change the src attribute of the source tag using javascript, when appropriate.

A: Yaur: Although what you have copied and pasted is good advice, this does not mean that it is impossible to change the source element of an HTML5 video element elegantly, even in IE9 (or IE8 for that matter).(This solution does NOT involve replacing the entire video element, as it is bad coding practice).
A complete solution to changing/switching videos in HTML5 video tags via javascript can be found here and is tested in all HTML5 browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE9, etc).
If this helps, or if you're having trouble, please let me know.

A: This is my solution:
<video id="playVideo" width="680" height="400" controls="controls">
    <source id="sourceVideo" src="{{video.videoHigh}}" type="video/mp4">
</video>

<button class="btn btn-warning" id="{{video.videoHigh}}" onclick="changeSource(this)">HD</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" id="{{video.videoLow}}" onclick="changeSource(this)">Regular</button>

A: Another way you can do in Jquery.
HTML
<video id="videoclip" controls="controls" poster="" title="Video title">
    <source id="mp4video" src="video/bigbunny.mp4" type="video/mp4"  />
</video>

Big Bunny.

Jquery
$(".list-item").find(".item").on("click", function() {
        let videoData = $(this).data("video");
        let videoSource = $("#videoclip").find("#mp4video");
        videoSource.attr("src", videoData);
        let autoplayVideo = $("#videoclip").get(0);
        autoplayVideo.load();
        autoplayVideo.play();
    });

A: Your original plan sounds fine to me.  You'll probably find more browser quirks dealing with dynamically managing the <source> elements, as indicated here by the W3 spec note:

Dynamically modifying a source element and its attribute when the element is already inserted in a video or audio element will have no effect. To change what is playing, just use the src attribute on the media element directly, possibly making use of the canPlayType() method to pick from amongst available resources. Generally, manipulating source elements manually after the document has been parsed is an unncessarily[sic] complicated approach.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-source-element

A: I come with this to change video source dynamically. "canplay" event sometime doesn't fire in Firefox so i have added "loadedmetadata". Also i pause previous video if there is one...
var loadVideo = function(movieUrl) {
    console.log('loadVideo()');
    $videoLoading.show();
    var isReady = function (event) {
            console.log('video.isReady(event)', event.type);
            video.removeEventListener('canplay', isReady);
            video.removeEventListener('loadedmetadata', isReady);
            $videoLoading.hide();
            video.currentTime = 0;
            video.play();
        },
        whenPaused = function() {
            console.log('video.whenPaused()');
            video.removeEventListener('pause', whenPaused);
            video.addEventListener('canplay', isReady, false);
            video.addEventListener('loadedmetadata', isReady, false); // Sometimes Firefox don't trigger "canplay" event...
            video.src = movieUrl; // Change actual source
        };

    if (video.src && !video.paused) {
        video.addEventListener('pause', whenPaused, false);
        video.pause();
    }
    else whenPaused();
};

A: I solved this with this simple method
function changeSource(url) {
   var video = document.getElementById('video');
   video.src = url;
   video.play();
}

A: I hated all these answers because they were too short or relied on other frameworks.
Here is "one" vanilla JS way of doing this, working in Chrome, please test in other browsers:

var video = document.getElementById('video');
var source = document.createElement('source');

source.setAttribute('src', 'http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4');
source.setAttribute('type', 'video/mp4');

video.appendChild(source);
video.play();
console.log({
  src: source.getAttribute('src'),
  type: source.getAttribute('type'),
});

setTimeout(function() {
  video.pause();

  source.setAttribute('src', 'http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.webm');
  source.setAttribute('type', 'video/webm');

  video.load();
  video.play();
  console.log({
    src: source.getAttribute('src'),
    type: source.getAttribute('type'),
  });
}, 3000);
<video id="video" width="320" height="240"></video>

External Link

A: Using the <source /> tags proved difficult for me in Chrome 14.0.835.202 specifically, although it worked fine for me in FireFox. (This could be my lack of knowledge, but I thought an alternate solution might be useful anyway.)  So, I ended up just using a <video /> tag and setting the src attribute right on the video tag itself.  The canPlayVideo('<mime type>') function was used to determine whether or not the specific browser could play the input video.  The following works in FireFox and Chrome.
Incidently, both FireFox and Chrome are playing the "ogg" format, although Chrome recommends "webm".  I put the check for browser support of "ogg" first only because other posts have mentioned that FireFox prefers the ogg source first (i.e. <source src="..." type="video/ogg"/> ).  But, I haven't tested (and highly doubt) whether or not it the order in the code makes any difference at all when setting the "src" on the video tag.
HTML

    <video id="media" controls="true" preload="auto" src="">
    </video>

JavaScript
function setupVideo() {
       // You will probably get your video name differently
       var videoName = "http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4";

       // Get all of the uri's we support
       var indexOfExtension = videoName.lastIndexOf(".");
       //window.alert("found index of extension " + indexOfExtension);
       var extension = videoName.substr(indexOfExtension, videoName.length - indexOfExtension);
       //window.alert("extension is " + extension);
       var ogguri = encodeURI(videoName.replace(extension, ".ogv"));
       var webmuri = encodeURI(videoName.replace(extension, ".webm"));
       var mp4uri = encodeURI(videoName.replace(extension, ".mp4"));
       //window.alert(" URI is " + webmuri);

       // Get the video element
       var v = document.getElementById("media");
       window.alert(" media is " + v);

       // Test for support
       if (v.canPlayType("video/ogg")) {
            v.setAttribute("src", ogguri);
           //window.alert("can play ogg");
       }
       else if (v.canPlayType("video/webm")) {
           v.setAttribute("src", webmuri);
           //window.alert("can play webm");
       }
       else if (v.canPlayType("video/mp4")) {
           v.setAttribute("src", mp4uri);
           //window.alert("can play mp4");
       }
       else {
           window.alert("Can't play anything");
       }

      v.load();
      v.play();
  }

A: I have been researching this for quite a while and I am trying to do the same thing, so hopefully this will help someone else. I have been using crossbrowsertesting.com and literally testing this in almost every browser known to man. The solution I've got currently works in Opera, Chrome, Firefox 3.5+, IE8+, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPad 1+, Android 2.3+, Windows Phone 8.
Dynamically Changing Sources
Dynamically changing the video is very difficult, and if you want a Flash fallback you will have to remove the video from the DOM/page and re-add it so that Flash will update because Flash will not recognize dynamic updates to Flash vars. If you're going to use JavaScript to change it dynamically, I would completely remove all <source> elements and just use canPlayType to set the src in JavaScript and break or return after the first supported video type and don't forget to dynamically update the flash var mp4. Also, some browsers won't register that you changed the source unless you call video.load(). I believe the issue with .load() you were experiencing can be fixed by first calling video.pause(). Removing and adding video elements can slow down the browser because it continues buffering the removed video, but there's a workaround.
Cross-browser Support
As far as the actual cross-browser portion, I arrived at Video For Everybody as well. I already tried the MediaelementJS Wordpress plugin, which turned out to cause a lot more issues than it resolved. I suspect the issues were due to the Wordpress plug-in and not the actually library. I'm trying to find something that works without JavaScript, if possible. So far, what I've come up with is this plain HTML:
<video width="300" height="150" controls="controls" poster="http://sandbox.thewikies.com/vfe-generator/images/big-buck-bunny_poster.jpg" class="responsive">
<source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.ogv" type="video/ogg" />
<source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.webm" type="video/webm" />
<source src="http://alex-watson.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/big_buck_bunny.iphone.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="http://alex-watson.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/big_buck_bunny.iphone3g.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf" width="561" height="297">
    <param name="movie" value="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="flashVars" value="config={'playlist':['http://sandbox.thewikies.com/vfe-generator/images/big-buck-bunny_poster.jpg',{'url':'http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4','autoPlay':false}]}" />

</object>
Download video:  MP4 format | Ogg format | WebM format
</video>

Important notes:

*

*Ended up putting the ogg as the first <source> because Mac OS Firefox quits trying to play the video if it encounters an MP4 as the first <source>.

*The correct MIME types are important .ogv files should be video/ogg, not video/ogv

*If you have HD video, the best transcoder I've found for HD quality OGG files is Firefogg

*The .iphone.mp4 file is for iPhone 4+ which will only play videos that are MPEG-4 with H.264 Baseline 3 Video and AAC audio. The best transcoder I found for that format is Handbrake, using the iPhone & iPod Touch preset will work on iPhone 4+, but to get iPhone 3GS to work you need to use the iPod preset which has much lower resolution which I added as video.iphone3g.mp4.

*In the future we will be able to use a media attribute on the <source> elements to target mobile devices with media queries, but right now the older Apple and Android devices don't support it well enough.

Edit:

*

*I'm still using Video For Everybody but now I've transitioned to using FlowPlayer, to control the Flash fallback, which has an awesome JavaScript API that can be used to control it.

A: Instead of getting the same video player to load new files, why not erase the entire <video> element and recreate it. Most browsers will automatically load it if the src's are correct.
Example (using Prototype):
var vid = new Element('video', { 'autoplay': 'autoplay', 'controls': 'controls' });
var src = new Element('source', { 'src': 'video.ogg', 'type': 'video/ogg' });

vid.update(src);
src.insert({ before: new Element('source', { 'src': 'video.mp4', 'type': 'video/mp4' }) });

$('container_div').update(vid);

A: Try moving the OGG source to the top. I've noticed Firefox sometimes gets confused and stops the player when the one it wants to play, OGG, isn't first.
Worth a try.

A: You shouldn't try to change the src attribute of a source element, according to this spec note .

Dynamically modifying a source element and its attribute when the element is
already inserted in a video or audio element will have no effect. To
change what is playing, just use the src attribute on the media
element directly

So lets say you have:
<audio>
    <source src='./first-src'/>
</audio>

To modify the src:
<audio src='./second-src'/>
    <source src='./first-src'/>
</audio>

A: if you already have a loaded video and you try to upload a new one over that one make sure to use the videoRef.load() on the second one, otherwise it wont load.

*videoRef should be the ref of the displayed <video></video> tag

A: Using JavaScript and jQuery:

...
<video id="vid" width="1280" height="720" src="v/myvideo01.mp4" controls autoplay></video>
...
function chVid(vid) {
    $("#vid").attr("src",vid);
}
...

Today I joined the newly formed Board of Directors of 350.org, coinciding with a range of exciting new changes at the organization. I have been a supporter of 350.org since I first heard about the wacky plan to turn a wonky scientific target into a global people's movement, and I'm thrilled and honored to be officially joining the team.
In the past three years, we have all watched the number "350" morph into a beautiful and urgent S.O.S., rising up from every corner of the globe, from Iceland to the Maldives, Ethiopia to Alaska. In the process, 350.org helped to decisively shift the climate conversation from polar bears to people – the people whose island nations, cultures and livelihoods will disappear unless those of us who live in the high emitting countries embrace a different economic path.
What has always mattered most about that magic number is that we are already well past it. That means there is no time to waste on stalling tactics like action plans that only get serious in 2020 and shell games like cap-and-trade. Our single goal has to be radically cutting our emissions right here, right now – not a decade from now, and not by paying someone else to do it for us.
If there is one thing that the failure of cap-and-trade has taught us, it is that trying to win this battle by lobbying elites behind closed doors is a disastrously losing strategy. Not only did it fail to deliver even weak climate legislation in the U.S., it made climate action look like just another opportunity for cronyism, helping to alienate a large sector of the public.
As 350.org has known all along, the real task is to build the kind of mass movement that politicians cannot afford to ignore. That means showing how making the deep emission cuts that science demands is not some dour punishment that will destroy our economy (as the Koch-funded right is perpetually claiming) but rather our best chance of fixing an economic system that is failing us on every level. Shifting to renewable energy and re-localizing our economies could create millions of good new jobs, while leaving us with cleaner cities and a healthier food system. And as 350.org's Global Work Party showed, a big part of averting climate chaos involves rebuilding and strengthening our frayed communities – and that is a joyful process.
But it's not enough to dreamily imagine the world we want. We also have to confront, head on, the forces that are determined to use their power and wealth to stop us. Which is why 350.org just launched a campaign targeting the deeply anti-democratic influence that major polluters have over the political process in Washington, starting with the biggest fish of them all, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (chamber.350.org).
I see this campaign as a breakthrough moment in the history of the climate movement, recognition that the struggles for economic justice, real democracy and a livable climate are all profoundly interconnected. As 350.org founder Bill McKibben puts it: unless we go after the "money pollution," no campaign against real pollution stands a chance. The same can be said for any progressive goal, from labor rights to net neutrality. As we recognize these (and many other) connections among our various "issues," I am convinced that a new kind of climate movement will emerge, one that is larger, deeper and more powerful than anything we have seen yet. There is no question that 350.org will be helping to lead the way, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

What's most desperately needed in the environmental movement is a commitment to objective truth. The irrational social prejudice against Cannabis agriculture has to end this spring. If you don't understand why, then please read my blog.
How bad do things have to get before all solutions are considered?
Time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival.
I totally agree with what Naomi Klein says in her article. I believe it is necessary to begin with dramatic campaign financing reform so that politicians respond to the people that elect them, not the money that funds their reelection campaigns.
You, Linda Goodman, Ms Huevel and Ms. Flanders have more balls and integrity then all the male and female high visibility journalists out there in media land! God Bless you and keep on keeping on! Like CS Lewis figured out – this is an epic battle of good over evil and you gals are not only good but brave. I am embarrassed to be a Man nowadays – where are the Lincolns', Ghandis', Martin Luther Kings or even Freedom Riders and protesters? What happen to us?

Bilateral Neonatal Suppurative Sialadenitis Progressing to Abscess Formation in a Preterm Neonate

We report a case of bilateral neonatal suppurative sialadenitis (NSS) in an extremely low birth weight infant (ELBW).
The infant developed bilateral sub-mandibular swelling at 3 weeks of age. NSS with abscess was confirmed with ultrasound. Despite intravenous antibiotic therapy the masses increased in size and developed abscesses.
Unilaterally the abscess discharged via Wharton's duct necessitating intubation to protect the airway. The abscess remnant was incised and drained. Culture grew a methicillin sensitive staphyloccocus aureus. The NSS resolved following two weeks of antibiotics.
We wish to highlight the importance of early recognition of this rare condition in preterm neonates.
Suppurative sialadenitis is an infection of the salivary glands. Its occurrence in the neonatal population is extremely rare, however the exact incidence is unclear with the literature being limited to a small number of cases reports and cases series. Despite being uncommon it can have significant clinical implications, including disseminated sepsis, osteomyelitis and airway compromise. Therefore the clinician should consider this possible differential when reviewing a neck swelling in the newborn.
We present the case of a premature female infant who developed a bilateral submandibular suppurative sialadenitis, and discusses the aetiology, complications and management of NSS.
A preterm female infant was born at 27+3 weeks gestation (580g) following an emergency Caesarean Section for intrauterine growth restriction, with reversed end diastolic flow.
At delivery she was intubated and ventilated due to respiratory distress syndrome. She was extubated to non-invasive ventilation on day of life 5, but required re-intubation on day 10 for apnea. She was screened for infection at that time with a full blood count, CRP and blood culture and received 5 days of antibiotics, but cultures remained negative. By day 14 she had been extubated again to nasal continuous positive airway pressure and had achieved full enteral nutrition.
On day of life 18, bilateral submandibular masses were noted on routine physical examination. Theses increased in size over a few hours. They were large, firm and erythematous. The remainder of her examination was unremarkable, including normal vital signs.
The primary differential included a developing abscess, with lymphadenitis a less likely alternative. A partial septic work-up was performed including full blood count, CRP and blood culture and she was commenced on empirical intravenous antimicrobials (teicoplanin, gentamicin and flucloxacillin). An ultrasound scan demonstrated bilateral hypoechoic soft tissue masses in the submandibular region, consistent with bilateral submandibular sialadenitis (see image 1). Following this, and in discussion with microbiology, antimicrobial treatment was rationalised to intravenous co-amoxiclav (for additional aerobic cover) and gentamicin.
Over the following days, the neck masses progressively increased in size. They were more erythematous and firm with new puncta present (see image 2). On day of life 21, she had an acute apnoeic event and a large volume of purulent serosanguinous fluid was suctioned from the oropharynx. There was no sign of abscess in the floor of the mouth and this likely had discharged from the Wharton's duct. Following initial stabilization, she was intubated to ensure the airway was protected and the external abscess was incised with a 25 gauge needle and allowed to drain. She remained intubated for five days and completed 13 days of intravenous co-amoxiclav. This wound healed by secondary intention.
Suppurative sialadenitis is an uncommon infection in newborn infants. Typically, it involves the parotid gland1, with the submandibular gland being a rarer site of primary infection2,3. In fact, a review specifically of submandibular NSS, found a total of only 39 cases reported in the medical literature to-date.4 NSS was unilateral in 84% (33/39) 4 of cases. Identified risk factors include prematurity, orogastric feeding, dehydration and supported ventilation1, 3, 4, 7. The clinical presentation is typically an erythematous, tender, submandibular mass in the absence of systemic signs5. While NSS is primarily a clinical diagnosis, the use of ultrasound can aid in the diagnosis3 (Image 1), the differential for which includes: venous malformations, haemangiomas, lymphadenitis or congenital tumours.8
The most common causative organism is Staphylococcus aureus. The standard first line of treatment includes airway monitoring and management if required, and empiric intravenous antibiotics. Once cultures have determined the organism and sensitivities, the antibiotic therapy should be adjusted accordingly.
There is limited evidence available to guide treatment in the ELBW population. In cases that fail to respond to appropriate intravenous antibiotics, alternatives that have been proposed include incision and drainage5, or manual compression and expression of pus from Wharton's duct7. Both of these may be technically challenging in a small ELBW infant and neither is without risk. Incision and drainage has been associated with adverse events such as facial nerve weakness, lingual or hypoglossal nerve damage, haemorrhage and sinus formation6. Contrary to this the risks associated with manual compression include abscess rupture, septicaemia and aspiration resulting in respiratory compromise7. Therefore, neither option should be under-taken lightly but rather should be considered dependent upon the clinical necessity and when possible with subspecialist support.
The case discussed highlights the importance of early recognition of NSS. It has the potential to cause significant life threatening events, in particular airway obstruction upon rupture of the abscess. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of NSS reported in an ELBW infant in Ireland.
Consent has been obtained from the patient's primary caregiver to discuss the patients hospital course as above.

Plaza Classic Film Festival returns July 30 with new format amid coronavirus pandemic
The Plaza Classic Film Festival will return this summer with a new format incorporating social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The annual event, put on by the El Paso Community Foundation, will present "pop-up" drive-in movies at several locations and stream other films in a managed digital format, Eric Pearson, president and CEO of the foundation, said in an email.
"This is a time of uncertainty, but it is an opportunity to strengthen the bonds in our community in a safe way," Pearson said. "I know it's not ideal, but it will definitely be a fun way to allow people a real outlet, digitally and in person."
Plaza Classic staples, such as the popular Local Flavor film showcase, documentaries and newer movies, will be screened digitally on the festival's website, plazaclassic.com.
The festival starts July 30 and ends Aug. 9. Officials said more details will be released in the coming weeks.
The Plaza Classic Film Festival, created in 2008, has screened more than 1,000 movies for more than 500,000 attendees. In the past, it has had an estimated annual economic impact of $1.5 million on the El Paso economy, the foundation said in a news release.
The festival has brought stars including Al Pacino, Richard Dreyfuss, Shirley Jones, Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross to join in the celebration of classic film.

There are explicit provisions of the law on how people should pay their taxes. Companies, businesses and other entities should pay taxes to the government. Businesses must pay quarterly taxes to the tax authorities. The problems with taxes are so many, but there are ways that they can be done easier. Attorneys are the best pick to solve tax issues for any company or business. Professional accountants have also been used to help people deal with tax issues. Accountants are much populated in the market, and they have the skills to handle tax problems. In order to acquire proper law information related to taxes, you need to hire the best lawyer and a professional tax accountant to give you a good referral.
A tax attorney is important in tax planning. They have hand on knowledge of tax laws which a company can use to have a good idea of their finances and avoid future problems related to tax. They will also provide guidance on the financial trajectory to be able to get all the tax compliant certificates. they are helpful in case your company falls in a ditch f financial and tax difficulties. They may come in on behalf of the company to salvage the situation in case of a tax standoff with the government. They can negotiate the removal of debts that can be levied on you. In case of any penalty and deduction they can come in to argue for removal of such. They are accredited lawyers with the knowledge and accreditation to handle all the cases related to taxes. They can assist the company to cut off a proportion of the cash that they owe the state agency for revenue. They can help a company to come up with ways of avoiding massive tax responsibilities.
They also provide other services like negotiation of repayment of taxes on behalf of the company. Attorneys help any business to come over most of the issues related to taxes. They are very helpful in providing information that is related to tax in case the company is to be audited. They can also be involved in the case of property seizure and bankruptcy legal proceedings.


At the World Magic Cup, Lahonen was setting up effective turn-2 kills with his Blue-Red Kiln Fiend deck. At the "Poro Tour" event, he registered a 150-card deck with a dazzling number of options and combos.
You are playing with cards that devour your library. A classic example is the 88-card deck that Noah Boeken and Trevor Blackwell played at Pro Tour Osaka 2002. They did that because they could Traumatize themselves and get enough cards into the graveyard to win in one blow with Psychatog. Lahonen's deck also contains Traumatize, which (if he mills Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and 6 Mountains) can set up lethal with Splendid Reclamation. More on this later.
You have a toolbox deck with cards you'd usually prefer not to draw. In Magic's history, not one but two different Hall-of-Famers have made a Grand Prix finals with a 64-card deck.In 2011, Makihito Mihara used a 64-card Scapeshift deck to make the finals of Grand Prix Kobe. His logic was that he needed at least 7 Mountains (and several Valakuts) in his deck for the combo kill, but he never wanted to draw them, so he went over 60 cards to reduce his chances of drawing Mountains while improving his chances of drawing blue mana.
More recently, Ben Rubin finished second at Grand Prix Oakland 2016 with a 64-card Abzan deck. He wanted a certain minimum number of fetchable lands, but he also wanted as many fetchlands as possible, so he solved that conundrum by playing 64 cards.
Lahonen's deck operates under similar constraints: It needs a certain minimum amount of basics, shocklands, and Valakuts to function, but beyond that it's better to maximize the ratio of fetchlands for mana consistency and for synergy with Splendid Reclamation. Basically, you're playing a 5-color Bring to Light deck, so you don't want to draw too many red lands. Moreover, having the option to Gifts Ungiven for Unburial Rites and Elesh Norn is nice, but naturally drawing Elesh Norn is not, which is another incentive to increase deck size.
All in all, there are valid reasons for playing more than 60 cards.
Naturally, the biggest drawback to playing more than 60 cards is that it substantially reduces the probability of drawing your best cards. A regular Scapeshift player will draw Search for Tomorrow, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Remand, Bring to Light, and other top-quality cards about 2.5 times more often than Lahonen would. That is a noticeable difference, and 150 cards is arguably too much.
In the end, it's a trade-off between the advantages and the disadvantages, and subjective judgments are needed to put relative weights on them, so it's hard to pinpoint an "optimum" deck size. But let's at least do some quantitative analysis to get some insights.
Since the only card that explicitly cares about deck size is Traumatize, I'll focus my analysis on that.
Imagine the following sequence: Turn-2 Sakura-Tribe Elder, turn-3 Cryptic Command, turn-4 Bring to Light into Traumatize, and turn-5 Splendid Reclamation. That's pretty good, but it only works if your deck size is large enough for Traumatize.
I will focus on the following scenario: We remove a Traumatize from our deck, along with 10 random cards. These 11 cards represent our opening hand and draw steps up until turn 4-5, and I'll refer to them as "our draw." For simplicity, I purposefully disregard several aspects: I assume that we have enough mana sources to cast Traumatize, and I disregard the deck thinning effects of cards like Sakura-Tribe Elder. Then, we put Traumatize on the stack.
Success type 1: We mill at least 6 Mountains and have at least 1 Valakut in our draw or in the collection milled by Traumatize. This will guarantee 18 damage with Splendid Reclamation on the next turn.
Success type 2: We mill fewer than 6 Mountains (i.e., "Success type 1" doesn't apply), but we have at least 2 Valakuts and at least 8 fetchlands or Mountains combined in our draw or in the collection milled by Traumatize. This should also result in 18 damage with Splendid Reclamation on the next turn, although we'd have to pay several points of life.
These success definitions disregard various unlikely combinations for simplicity. For instance, "1 Valakut and 11 fetchlands" isn't included, but that's not unreasonable because our opponent might be pressuring our life total too. Another example is that a fetchland configuration of 4 Flooded Strand and 4 Polluted Delta still counts as a success, even though it can't search enough Mountains. I wish I had more time to refine definitions and calculations, but I expect my approach yields at least a solid approximation.
Under my assumptions, we are 77.3% to have a successful Traumatize.
For Leo Lahonen's original deck, the probability of success would be 56.2% for type 1 and 21.1% for type 2, for a total of 77.3%. That's reasonable, especially considering that if we miss, there is a good chance of being able to flashback Unburial Rites as a consolation prize.
The total number of lands in a deck with N cards is N*64/150, rounded down. So we retain the same ratio as our original 150-card deck with 64 lands.
We retain all of our Mountains and Valakuts. To justify this, look at regular 60-card Bring to Light Scapeshift decks. They typically have 4 Steam Vents, 4 Stomping Ground, 1 Mountain, 1 Cinder Glade, 2 Valakut, and then usually one or more extra Mountains or Valakuts. Lahonen's list had a 3rd Valakut, a 2nd Cinder Glade, a Sacred Foundry, and a Blood Crypt, which is a bit more than usual, but not by much. I have also seen all of these lands in Bring to Light Scapeshift decks before, so they are not unreasonable inclusions. I'll take all of these lands as a fixed base.
Extending this logic, we retain all of our 33 non-fetchlands. So if we shrink our deck size and cut lands, then we remove fetch lands. That is, the number of fetchlands in the deck is N*64/150, rounded down, minus 33. This is a little strict, and I think that in reality you might make a few different cuts, but it's too hard to choose which ones to cut for every deck size—my assumption is more elegant and easier to implement.
The seesaw pattern is because the number of lands is rounded for every deck size.
What you see is that the probability of type 1 success (at least 6 Mountains milled) stays relatively stable throughout, although it is a little lower for smaller decks. An intuitive explanation is that for larger decks, Traumatize comes close to milling 50% of your actual deck—the top 11 cards from your draw don't have a large impact. For smaller decks, Traumatize mills noticeably less than 50% of your deck because the top 11 cards form a more substantial chunk of your original deck, which implies that the chance of milling at least 6/13 Mountains decreases.
The type 2 success (at least 2 Valakut and a bunch of fetchlands) also stays relatively stable between 110-150 cards but then drops off as well for smaller decks. The intuitive explanation for this is that smaller decks contain fewer fetchlands and therefore have a smaller chance of milling enough of them.
So How Many Cards Should You Play?
Although I think Leo Lahonen may be on to something, I think 150 cards is too many. I think it's safe to go down to 120 cards. At least the resulting deck will be slightly easier to shuffle. More importantly, as I showed, this reduction won't substantially hamper the consistency of the Traumatize/Splendid Reclamation combo. But it will increase the likelihood of drawing your best cards by 20%, which is a huge difference.
We could reduce deck size even further, potentially going as low as 100 cards. (I wouldn't go lower than 100 cards because then, according to the above figure, the Traumatize/Splendid Reclamation consistency drop becomes marked.) The reason why I'd stick with 120 cards for the time being is that I want to qualitatively take into account the benefits of an improved mana base and a lower probability of drawing silver bullets, and at some point I'm not sure what to cut anymore. So 120 seems like a good compromise to start from.
It wasn't easy to cut 30 cards from the deck, but my first suggestion would be to start with this.
I can't confidently claim that this build is better than a 60-card Scapeshift deck, but the deck is competitive, and hilarious to boot. Just imagine the look on your opponent's face when you put down a 120-card deck! Priceless.
Now imagine you do that at the Team Grand Prix in San Antonio (April 1-2). It won't be easy to run a 120-card deck with the Team Unified Constricted restrictions, but if you can convince your teammates, then your fun will be tripled!


Spending long hours at the workplace almost feels like a necessity in today's busy professional world, with endless to-do lists and overburdening work bogging us down. However, those overtime hours won't amount to much if you're not getting ahead. What counts most is how productive and efficient you are at the end of the day.
Workplace productivity is as critical for employees as it is for businesses. It means more opportunities for promotion, bigger bonuses and better chances of career growth.
At the end of a long day at the office, you will sometimes you finish your day with an elusive sigh of relief, while other times you end up taking your work home with you – leaving you feeling stressed. As an old adage goes, "it's not the number of hours you put into work, it is the amount of work you put in those hours." So, if you aren't satisfied with your usual work cycle, you have to make some adjustments. You need to change some of your usual methods and habits in order to become more productive.
To become productive, you need to minimize the distractions that come in your way. For example, social media is one of the biggest productivity killers. In addition to those networks, emails, WhatsApp messages, texts and phone calls also impact your work. According to research conducted by the University of California, it takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back to a task after being interrupted. Interruptions also decrease your accuracy.
Multitasking might sound the best way to get more done, but the fact is you aren't really multitasking at all; in actuality, it is task-switching. A growing body of research shows that productivity gets reduced as much as 40% when people switch tasks. Another study by the University of London suggests that switching tasks lowers your IQ.
The point is, if you try to perform many tasks at a time, you will more likely end up doing nothing substantial. Instead, the fulfillment of any task depends a lot upon your level of concentration. The fallacy of multitasking, as it emerges, is it forces you to split your concentration into as many tasks as you are going to attempt. Therefore, focusing on a single task at one time dramatically increases your productivity as well as efficiency.
Making to-do lists well in advance aids your productivity. Having a list to check off provides you with greater focus and rewards you with feelings of satisfaction when you complete a task. Preparing to-do lists the night before allows you not to waste time at the start of the work day. When you spend even 10 minutes every evening in order to briefly go through the tasks of the next day, everything changes in terms of productivity.
The reason is pretty simple, while writing your tasks down, you are forced to also think through them and explain them. Though the to-do list wouldn't change, but you will get a feeling that you have completed half of your work in your head already. The next day, all you need to do is just look at your tasks and get them done.
Working under stress drains your time as well as your energy. Taking regular breaks from work will maintain your enthusiasm and help you stay in a productive mind frame when you restart your task. Too much work tires your body and mind and you will start to have a difficult time concentrating on anything. They go out and do things they enjoy doing the most like surfing and hiking. You can also enjoy your time and eat healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables. In the frantic pace of today's life, it is important to connect with friends, attend conferences and talk to people in your networking relationships. Furthermore, establishing a strong camaraderie with co-workers is a great source of stress-buster; so it would be refreshing to share drinks and party beverages during company events and parties with your colleagues.
Delegation is a highly useful skill. Once you have mastered the art of delegation, you will notice how much easier your job has become, but only if you do it properly. When you delegate in a right manner, you have more time to stay laser focused on your own important task. The important factor, however, is to assign the task to the right person – a person you know has the skills and aptitude to do it. The results of delegation in a right manner are astonishing. You will amazed to see how much productive you have become, freed to focus on what you need to do.
Low productivity is in no one's interest; it neither helps a company nor an employee. So being productive should be your prime focus and make sure you are using your true potential. The above mentioned tips will help you become more productive.

Metal Packaging Europe is again a sponsor at the Aerosol & Dispensing Forum (ADF), the prestigious annual global conference for the aerosol industry value chain. A key element of the day was the presentation on "Metal aerosols in a circular economy", which highlighted the proven sustainability record of metal packaging and its unrivalled performance throughout the supply chain.
Three speakers came together to cover the different facets of circularity: Dimitrios Soutzoukis – Technical & Sustainability Officer of Metal Packaging Europe, Jose Oliveira – Packaging Division Industrial Director of Colep and Federico Fusari – Managing Director of RICREA, the Italian Steel Recycling Consortium. They illustrated the importance of recycling to achieve a truly circular economy, the continued technical improvements in resource efficiency and the end-of-life competitiveness of steel packaging in one of the largest European Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes.
The presentation showed metal packaging as the perfect example of a circular economy at work, as metal is a permanent material that recycles forever. Circularity is about keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible, something which is of increasing importance for European consumers. Metal is a recycling champion with the related environmental benefits in reduced carbon and water footprints. Metal aerosols through lightweighting generates cost savings and resource efficiency for the benefit of the entire value chain. They are easily collected, sorted and recycled within a very competitive process that benefits from market demand and positive scrap values.
Dimitrios Soutzoukis commented: "The metal aerosols market is thriving and answers the needs of modern lifestyles. Consumers use aerosols in a wide range of applications, from household products to food and personal care. Especially in the latter, the market is growing, with consumers using hair styling, shaving or deodorant products daily. Aerosols are easy-to-use, safe and robust. They have great sustainability features which today's consumers are now demanding for all packaging".


You will find 7 beaches in Sant Antoni de Portmany :5 sandy beaches and 2 pebble beaches and 2 creeks.
There are numerous beaches in Sant Antoni de Portmany. The most central is that of S'Arenal, it is also the largest. North side, that of the Moro is appreciated for its sunset but it is smaller. More untamed, the beaches of Cala Gracio and Cala Gracioneta offer the best preserved and the most idyllic surroundings. Naturists are not forgotten and can head towards the Punta Galera (difficult access).
Sant Antoni is also renowned for its sunsets (pedestrian promenade connecting the Cala des Moro to the port). Regrettably, the business side takes over with many bars and restaurants that seem to be picky and choosy with the clientele, depending on the size of your wallet ... a bit ironic because the service and quality of the restaurants is not as it should be... but the atmosphere is made by the many DJs along the street. This area is well attended, no problems ... English Hooligans do not come here, the prices are too high.
Nearby, Ibiza town is a must, this is the most interesting town on the island from an architectural point of view. To the north, the coast is mostly composed of cliffs and access to them become very difficult (if not impossible depending on the area). Port de Sant Miquel and Portinatx are family orientated but remote destinations. To the south, the beaches of Sant Josep de sa Talaia are similar to those of Sant Antoni with some interesting sites provided you have transport.

Amanda Serrano faces Erika Cruz in bid to give Puerto Rico its first undisputed female champion
Amanda Serrano ready for a firestorm with Erika Cruz
Madison Square Garden will once again be part of another historic main fight in women's boxing, when Amanda Serrano, from Puerto Rico and who is the current unified 126-pound champion, fights WBA champion, Érika Cruz, from Mexico, on February 4, 2023, inking another chapter of the keen rivalry between the two countries.
Serrano (43-2-1, 30KO), champion in seven categories, will seek to fulfill her dream of giving Puerto Rico its first undisputed champion, a feat that has not yet been achieved in the women's branch of that country.
The exciting fight between Puerto Rico and Mexico will take place at the Hulu Theater, located in Madison Square Garden, and will be broadcast live on DAZN.
Southpaw Serrano's most recent fight was in September, when she defeated undefeated world champion Sarah Mahfoud of Denmark by unanimous decision. That comeback fight followed on five months after her historic clash with Irish superstar Katie Taylor, when the pair made history as the first females to headline at the famous Gardens. 'The Real Deal' was edged in an epic war via split decision, and the fans have been calling for a rematch ever since.
Managed by Cesar Bellic, Erika Cruz (15-1, 3KO) is also southpaw and won the WBA belt in April 2021, when she defeated former two-division world champion Jelena Mrdjenovich from Canada by technical decision in New York.
The 32-year-old from Mexico City is known as 'Dinamita' and she holds the last piece of the puzzle for Serrano to become Puerto Rico's first undisputed female champion, but Cruz has only lost once in her second fight, which was a narrow points defeat over four two-minute rounds when she was just starting out.

La loi d'orientation et de programmation pour la refondation de l'École de la République, dite « loi Peillon » du nom du ministre qui l'a proposée, est une loi française du , promulguée par le gouvernement Jean-Marc Ayrault (PS), qui réforme le système éducatif français.

Genèse
Le ministre de l'éducation nationale Vincent Peillon prépare la loi.

Le travail en séance se déroule dans une ambiance positive. Environ 150 amendements sont adoptés sur 661 proposés, dont une trentaine issus du groupe écologiste.

Un amendement proposé par l'opposition de droite est fortement débattu, car il proposait de préciser que les cours d'éducation civique et morale se feraient . L'opposition abandonne finalement cet amendement.

Le texte passe au Sénat qui ajoute la nécessité pour les établissements secondaires d'afficher à leur entrée un drapeau français et européen, ainsi que la devise de la République.

La loi est adoptée en juillet 2013 par le Parlement la loi .

Dans le cadre de l'émergence de l'évaluation des politiques publiques, la loi est la première loi scolaire à disposer d'un comité de suivi chargé d'évaluer son application et ses effets dans le temps.

Contenu

Réorganisation de la formation des enseignants
La loi Peillon supprime les IUFM dans les académies mais les maintient dans les vice-rectorats du Pacifique (c'est-à-dire de Nouvelle-Calédonie, de Wallis-et-Futuna (IUFM de Nouvelle-Calédonie), et de Polynésie française) . Elle crée les Écoles supérieures du professorat et de l'éducation (ESPE) dans les académies. Ce sont des composantes des universités, qui ont pour mission la formation initiale et continue des enseignants. Les candidats aux concours doivent justifier d'une inscription en première année d'études en vue de l'obtention d'un master.

Affectation des enseignants
Le texte prévoit la création 60 000 postes dans l'éducation sur cinq ans (enseignants et autres personnels).

La loi donne la priorité à l'affectation des deux tiers des nouveaux postes d'enseignants au premier degré, dans le cadre d'un dispositif  dans les zones difficiles.

Éducation civique et morale
Un article visant à mettre en place une éducation civique et morale est adopté.

Apprentissage des langues
Un enseignement de langue vivante étrangère devient obligatoire dès le CP. La loi crée également un enseignement du numérique à destination des enfants. Les académies peuvent favoriser l'apprentissage des langues étrangères parlées dans les pays avec lesquels sont passés des accords de coopération régionale.

L'apprentissage des langues régionales ou minoritaires de France, reconnues comme , est favorisé dans les régions où elles sont utilisées. Les enseignants du premier et du second degré peuvent y recourir dès lors qu'ils en tirent profit pour leur enseignement, et cela sans l'accord préalable des parents ou des élèves majeurs.

Orientation des élèves
Le dispositif voté en 2011 (Loi Cherpion), qui autorisait l'apprentissage pour des jeunes de 15 ans, est supprimé. Le gouvernement considère que cet apprentissage précoce empêcherait les élèves d'acquérir le socle de compétences et les enferme trop tôt dans une filière.

Rythme scolaire
La loi revient sur la disposition votée en 2008 de la suppression du cours du samedi matin. La loi crée un cours le mercredi matin, afin de mieux étaler les heures de cours.

Autres
Cette loi instaure le conseil école-collège et a pour objectif d'assurer la continuité pédagogique et la cohérence éducative entre l'école et le collège.

Elle instaure les contrats d'objectifs tripartites entre l'État (représenté par le recteur d'académie), la collectivité territoriale et l'EPLE (l'Établissement scolaire). Elle clarifie notamment les rôles des collectivités dans la politique numérique (équipement, maintenance, acquisitions des logiciels nécessaires à l'enseignement et aux échanges entre les membres de la communauté éducative).

Elle crée le Conseil national d'évaluation du système scolaire (CNESCO) et le Conseil supérieur des programmes.

La devise de la France est apposée sur la façade de tous les établissements de second degré publics et privés sous contrats, ainsi que le drapeau français et le drapeau européen. La loi dispose que .

Restauration scolaire - L'introduction et la généralisation de l'alimentation biologique et locale seront encouragées dans la restauration collective (annexe – Promouvoir la santé).

Réception

Critiques et polémiques
La loi fait l'objet de débats forts, notamment au sujet du rythme scolaire imposé par la loi, à savoir le rajout d'une demi-journée de cours. Le comité de suivi de la loi Peillon remarque en 2016 que le sujet a focalisé l'attention à tel point que les autres dispositions de la loi sont passées moins aperçues.

L'UMP dénonce la suppression de la possibilité pour les jeunes d'effectuer un apprentissage dès l'âge de 15 ans, considérant que cette mesure relève d'une .

Le Parti communiste français vote la loi, mais se montre critique à l'égard de la création des 60 000 postes annoncée, qui ne permet pas de compenser les 80 000 postes supprimés sous la présidence de Nicolas Sarkozy.

Évaluation de la politique publique
Le Conseil économique, social et environnemental rend un avis positif, estimant que .

En 2016, le comité de suivi de la loi Peillon sur la refondation de l'école pointe une mise en œuvre . Le rapport remarque que malgré les attentes fortes de la part du personnel enseignant concernant la loi, ses effets peinent à se matérialiser. Il montre également que les moyens programmés ont été .
