The Gospel of Mark is typically thought of as the earliest written Gospel in our Bible. Several ancient texts state that the Apostle Peter recounted the events of Jesus' life and ministry to John Mark ("Mark"), who wrote them down. This Gospel now bears Mark's name.
The Gospel begins with these words: "The beginning of the gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (Mark 1:1). Mark moves at a fast clip and reads like a short story. Join us as we journey through the Gospel of Mark and discover the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God!

Q: Global / Line Discount for Sale/Purchase/Account [Odoo 14 Community Edition]
I need to customize Global and Line Discounts (amount & percentage) into Sale / Purchase / Account.
I have done the Sale and Purchase parts. It is just adding fields and a few logics here and there and send the data to Account (account.move) by prepare_invoice methods.
Now here's the issue I am facing -- The Account. I am having a tremendous confusion of where I should modify. After I tried to understand and tracked the flow of the standard invoicing/billing, I am at lost. There are too many functions/variables for me, who do not understand accounting, to try to get the whole idea out of it.
I did add the discount fields that I need. However, the standard calculation of price / taxes / credit / debit are messed up when I try to inherit some methods that I think I should modify. I ended up having incorrect taxes, unbalanced credit/debit, and incorrect total amount.
I tried editing here and there (by inheriting of course. I can still rollback everything I did).
The point is that I need precise suggestions and/or directions of what functions/methods I should inherit just enough to make discount possible. I have 2 Line Discount fields (amount and percent) and 2 Global Discount (also amount and percent). The calculation between them is not the point of interest here. The only problem at this point is to integrate these fields (from SO, PO, and manually created) into the calculation of everything in Invoicing/Billing.
Here are the fields:
account.move
global_discount_amount = fields.Float(string='Global Discount Amount', compute=compute_global_discount_amount, store=True)
global_discount_percent = fields.Float(string='Global Discount Percent', compute=compute_global_discount_percent, store=True)

account.move.line
discount_line_amount = fields.Float(string='Disc. Line Amount', compute=compute_discount_line_amount, store=True)
discount_line_percent = fields.Float(string='Disc. Line %', compute=compute_discount_line_percent, store=True)

Right now, I am messing with some methods such as: (a few examples)
account.move

*

*_recompute_tax_lines

account.move.line

*

*create

*_get_fields_onchange_balance_model

*_get_price_total_and_subtotal_model

*_onchange_price_subtotal

Most of the modifications are written by copying the whole method from standard into my new model (inherit that standard model) and edit some codes here -- Override the standard code from my understanding.

A: Function computation/execution either depends on other fields value change or compute every time form/listview load.
Check in your case what is depends on the function compute_global_discount_amount and compute_global_discount_percentage
For better developing/troubleshooting, remove any @depends() fields declaration on the functions. Additionally, remove the store=True attribute temporarily. It will help you to narrow down the issue. And make sure you get the correct numbers.
Once you get it, add back fields depending.
Here is a sample example of a method (Odoo 14 CE) override which will be executed during compute amount.
@api.depends(
    'line_ids.matched_debit_ids.debit_move_id.move_id.payment_id.is_matched',
    'line_ids.matched_debit_ids.debit_move_id.move_id.line_ids.amount_residual',
    'line_ids.matched_debit_ids.debit_move_id.move_id.line_ids.amount_residual_currency',
    'line_ids.matched_credit_ids.credit_move_id.move_id.payment_id.is_matched',
    'line_ids.matched_credit_ids.credit_move_id.move_id.line_ids.amount_residual',
    'line_ids.matched_credit_ids.credit_move_id.move_id.line_ids.amount_residual_currency',
    'line_ids.debit',
    'line_ids.credit',
    'line_ids.currency_id',
    'line_ids.amount_currency',
    'line_ids.amount_residual',
    'line_ids.amount_residual_currency',
    'line_ids.payment_id.state',
    'line_ids.full_reconcile_id')
def _compute_amount(self):
    super()._compute_amount()
    for record in self:
        record.compute_global_discount_amount()
        record.compute_global_discount_percent()

def compute_global_discount_amount(self):
    for record in self:
        # Execute your logic for compute global_discount_amount
        record.global_discount_amount = $$$$

A: have a look at apply_discount function in an inherited class of sale.order
def apply_discount(self, cr, uid, ids, discount_rate):
        cur_obj = self.pool.get('res.currency')
        res = {}
        line_obj = self.pool.get('sale.order.line')
        for order in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context=None):
            for line in order.order_line:
                line_obj.write(cr, uid, [line.id], {'discount': discount_rate}, context=None)
        return res

A new column was added to the new inherited subclass of sale order
'discount_rate' : fields.float('Discount rate'),
Then in the sale order view (an inherited one) placed the new field discount on the sale.order.view and fired an event on the on_change of the value passing the self value of the field to the on_change event

In this way you can apply discount sequentially to the rows of the order without altering the normal process.

A: Firstful, please pardon my English. Then let's get into the core, I guess that this is exactly the task that I was assigned. Luckily that I was not alone, I was guided by my so-called senior which showed me the way in order to achieve the Global Discount for Invoice and Bill.
By looking at your methods listing, you were already on the right path!
So now, let me help you further...as much as I can
As in my case, I didn't put any new field regarding the Global Discount in Account Move Line model, even though in Sale Order Line and Purchase Order Line Global Discount fields do exist.
All and all, here are the methods that need to be customized:

*

*_onchange_invoice_line_ids

*_compute_amount

*_recompute_payment_terms_lines

*_recompute_tax_lines
I heavily modified the 3rd and 4th methods. However, I think that I still have some bugs, don't hesitate to tell me.

Doctors Must Notify Patients of Possible Unapproved IUDs
Eight doctors in Southern California have been instructed to send letters to more than 850 patients notifying them that the doctors are under investigation for allegedly illegally obtaining contraceptives from unlicensed vendors on the Internet or from Mexico, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Public Health Officer Mark Horton in a statement said, "The physicians under investigation have failed to provide proper evidence that shows they purchased federally approved [intrauterine devices] from FDA-approved sources." California physicians are required to purchase IUDs from licensed distributors in the U.S.
No specific health threat from the devices has been identified, but "[t]heir safety and effectiveness is unknown," according to Horton's statement.
Susann Steinberg, a state health official, said IUDs used abroad do "seem to be effective and safe in the countries they are used."
The physicians were ordered to notify all women who have received IUDs since Jan. 1, 2005, and the patients were advised to discuss with a doctor whether to leave unapproved devices in place.
The doctors' clinics are located in Alhambra, Downey, Glendale, Hemet, Los Angeles, Norwalk, Santa Ana and Van Nuys.
Doctor Contests Allegations
One doctor allegedly has refused to notify his patients as directed. The physician said that he has been notifying his patients about the devices but that the notification required by the state would imply he might have knowingly violated state and federal law. The doctor maintains that he believed he was purchasing IUDs from a legitimate source and that the devices had been approved by FDA.
The state will send notification to the 52 patients treated by that doctor. Health officials are seeking to suspend the doctor from receiving Medi-Cal and Family PACT payments. Medi-Cal is the state's Medicaid program (Lin, Los Angeles Times , 9/10).

Cesar E. Chavez was born March 31, 1927, near Yuma, Ariz. He was commemorated on a 37¢ stamp in 2003.
American civil rights activist and labor leader Cesar E. Chavez was born March 31, 1927, near Yuma, Ariz. After losing their home during the Great Depression, the Chavez family became migrant farm workers in the fields of California.
Chavez joined the U.S. Navy at age 19, and married Helen Fabela in 1948. With the Community Service Organization in the 1950s, he began organizing farm laborers to help improve their working and living conditions. He later founded United Farm Workers with Dolores Huerta to focus on the plight of the field workers.
Inspired by his admiration for Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., Chavez used nonviolent methods, including peaceful boycotts and his own public fasts, to achieve his goals of fair treatment for agricultural workers.
Cesar Chavez died in 1993. The next year he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor; it was presented to his widow, Helen Chavez, on Aug. 8, 1994, by President Bill Clinton.
The United States Postal Service issued a 37¢ commemorative stamp honoring Cesar Chavez on April 23, 2003 (Scott 3781). The stamp design shows a portrait of Chavez with grape fields in the background. The image, painted by Robert Rodriguez, is based on a 1976 photograph by Bob Fitch.


In March 1918, in dire circumstances, Dimitrie Gusti laid the foundation of the Association for the Social Study and Reform (hereafter ASSR). Claiming the names of great personalities such as Virgil Madgearu, Vasile Pârvan and many others, the Association was the corner stone of what it would become the most important School of Sociology in Romania. Although both the ASSR and the Romanian Social Institute (hereafter RSI) had as forum the journal "The Archive for Science and Social Reform", the Association precedes the RSI both institutionally and ideologically, since the Gusti's initiative had its roots in his lectures, seminars and organizational projects at the University of Iași ever since the pre-war era.
How did the sociologists and the social reformers react to the radical changes caused by the War?
Which of the numerous social changes have picked the sociologists' interest, prompting them to proceed to rationalize and study them?
How important were the national and the social questions? How were the proletariat and peasantry questions treated by the social scientists in 1918 Romania?
What are the continuity or discontinuity points with the sociology from the pre-war period?
What were the structural conditions that have influenced the scientific production and the subsequent social reform in 1918?
We consider that such contributions are of a paramount importance, since they cast light on the activity of the (well established as well as less known) Romanian and Central Eastern European social reformers and help us to better understand their reactions, initiatives, claims and disputes. In this manner, we get to have a more accurate overview of the importance the year 1918 held for the social sciences in this part of the world.
Today we witness the ongoing mediatisation process that transforms our culture and society. The mediatized society transforms human interaction, institutions and core values. The transformation process is taking place not from one generation to another, but mostly it is instantly, online and undetermined. In the same time, mediatisation is defined as a concept to critically analyse the interrelation between the change of media and communication, on the one hand, and the change of culture and society on the other, implying quantitative and qualitative aspects, referring to the increasing temporal, spatial and social spread of media communication (Hepp, Hasebrink, 2013, 3-4). The society framework is designed by mediatisation, but its answer to this process should be formulated by media education. In the context of blue whale effect, of fake news and hate speech, of online civic rights and of freedom of speech, we argue the necessity of media education as a responsible answer, as a method and even a path for the individuals to answer to the mediatisation challenges.
Media and online media is used every day to persuade or to be persuaded as one of the communication fundamental objectives. All the digital genres of public and private communication – text messages, blogs, posts, twits, hashtags, to name a few- are used in different levels, by all individuals from digitally natives to the aged people. The gasps are dangerous as there is no link between the use of ordinary people in everyday communication and experts, companies and public figures. These cleavages are invisible but producing new forms of media effects. The academic reflection should accompany and tackle these challenges, using researches' pragmatics: quantitative and qualitative methods on the investigation of our mediatized world. How does media education function in the mediatized world? How should media competence be trained? Is media education a method of establishing and maintain relationship between media and audiences? Which are the most affected social groups?
Media education can be seen as a new method of understanding the new Dahrendorf's "decade of citizenship" and one of the main part to be played is of the teachers and academics in order to offer the creative answers and critical thinking on the messages of the "new" media.
The concept of 'value change' has captured the interest of social scientists and other analysts. The idea that our values are shifting in response to economic, political and social development is one that has gained a lot of attention not only among large public, but also at the academic level and among policy makers. Inquiries into people's values and their value priorities have become an important feature of endeavour for social scientists to understand human behaviour and functioning of human societies.
During recent years, Europe has been exposed to important dynamic forces that influenced its geographical, political, social and cultural spheres. At the same time, changes in the living and working conditions of European citizens could been observed during the last 25 years. While the last economic crisis calls into question intra-European solidarity, increasing migration from outside Europe challenges the unity and cooperation within EU and raises questions of security, responsibility for border controls, and for the distribution of wealth.
Although values, in general, are changing slowly, the pace of change is accelerating at certain stages of social development or at the time of social change. This assumption therefore conceptualizes values as an independent variable that stochastically affects human action.
The European and World Values Studies provide reliable data on the value orientations of Europeans as well as about their group affiliations, identities and understandings of solidarity.
The main goal of this section is to gain a better theoretically grounded and empirically supported understanding of the phenomenon of value changes, solidarity and identity in a changing Europe. There is no thematic restriction for contributors as long as the presented analyses are based on the EVS/WVS data. If possible, the papers should concern value shifts by means of comparison of all EVS waves (time dimension). We also encourage contributions that look at the interplay between socio-demographic, political and economic behaviour and personal values and attitudes.
Inspired by Bauman's approach on liquid modernity, liquid love and liquid life, Engbersen and Snel (2013) develop the concept of liquid migration for analysing the phenomenon of post-accession east-west migration. This type of migration is strongly motivated by better work or professional development opportunities, but also by the chance to easily return home or change the destination country. The six dimensions of liquid migration are: temporality (circular migration; commuting; very short/medium/long-term stay); labour or professional development (students); legal residential status through EU agreements; unpredictability (moving between countries depending on opportunities or constraints); diffuse family (individualised life strategy with a limited family obligation); intentional unpredictability (migratory habitus are fluid without a fixed migration aspiration and with open options). (Engbersen and Snel, 2013, 33-35). Under this model, the role of family in the life of migrants is diminished, since it is assumed that family relations have lost part of their power in the case of Eastern-European migrants as well. If in the past, migration had its focus in the financial benefit of the family, now it becomes more individualized, only having the self-affirmation of the deprated as an objective. Grandparents used to be involved in childcare while parents were away. Now young migrants postpone their marriage, have very few or no family obligations and give no thought to the financial support of those at home. Bygnes and Bivand Erdal (2017) try to apply the concept within the analysis of the life-strategies of some older migrants and discover that if the migrant categories are not the young persons that Engbersen and Snel (2013) have built their explanatory model upon, the concept of liquid migration becomes limiting and specifically cannot explain the fifth element – family -, older migrants bearing responsibilities towards family members at home or towards people around them, hence they develop strategies towards a way of life that is rather grounded than liquid. Also, the authors consider that within a life story perspective, even the young from the model proposed by Engbersen and Snel (2013) would change their liquid strategies once children appeared within their lives.
The aim of this panel is to debate the way how the concept of liquid migration might be applied within research that focuses on family: What does its explanatory power consist in? What are its limits? Are the lives of EU migrants so liquid indeed? What is the role of children in this? What is the role of the elderly within these families? How are migrant couples formed? What are the strategies of bi-national couples within this so-called liquid migration? We invite researchers to this panel who possess an interest in family and migration and would like them to bring the results of their research into dialogue with the concept of liquid migration. We are also interested in papers that apply the term of liquid migration to an understanding of the family also when it comes to internal migration. We wish the contributions to this panel to create the basis for a published volume to discuss the role of the fifth element – family – within the model of liquid migration. Abstracts of no more than 250 words including authors' names, titles, emails and institutional affiliations should be sent.

Almost a decade ago, a UNESCO report argued that "higher education continues to be defined, as it has always been, by who enrols, who teaches, how knowledge is produced and disseminated, and by higher education's societal role. What has changed quite dramatically is the context of higher education […]. Higher education now sits at the crossroad of tradition and new possibilities." (Albach et all, 2009: 165). Nowadays, there seems to be an increasing perceived overlap between two rather opposing functions of the university, namely its academic function and its business one (Ballantine, Hammack 2016 :269). Crossing and/or blurring borders not only in instruction, but also in research, seems to be an underlying trend in the field of higher education, with interdisciplinarity gaining momentum across the world (Jacob, 2014). However, at the same time, the university, one of the traditional repositories of knowledge, has to interact today with the knowledge society, mitigating the "growing expectations of the use and utility of education and research in society" (Alvesson, Benner, 2016: 75) This, in turn, could trigger yet another re-assessment of the "knowledge ideal" and the roles the university plays in this respect (just like the one suggested by Evetts, 1973). Moreover, there is also a perceived need of "suiting higher education to the social requirements of today and of tomorrow" (Harlow, 2016), especially if are to take into consideration the liquid society, which brings new challenges for higher education: increased globalization, a changing labor market, constantly changing new technologies. These all create new contexts, opportunities, risks and challenges for higher education institutions.
Situated at the intersection of multiple fields of research and of several different perceptions and expectations, the university today can be confidently called a hybrid institution (a term inspired by Gumport, 2007), one that seeks to adapt to the new while still preserving as much as possible of its essence, traditions and ideals.
If you would like to be a contributor to the section please send the abstract of the proposed paper to sonia.pavlenko@ubbcluj.ro or to oanatamasm@gmail.com. Selected papers will be published in a Special issue of the Journal of Research in Higher Education (http://jrehe.reviste.ubbcluj.ro/).
At two decades time-span since we agreed to conceive the social through Z. Bauman's sociohermeneutical lenses, taking on board also our own life-experience of the "Baumanian evolution" of the social world, it seems convenient to reexamine the socio-pragmatics of its core notion of liquidity. Twenty years after, it has become pretty clear that our society, by the very fact of its liquidity, presents, and also imposes, itself as a well-defined social order. The liquidity "makes" (an) order, a "fluid" one and with all around detectable constraints, from the level of social forms and institutions it reshapes to the intimacy of everyday life of each of us. Socio-analytically, the task of devising, more rigorously than it is usually done, a conceptual explanation of the liquid order asks for more epistemic and methodological saturation of the social liquidity argument; not just about the concrete manners in which this fluid order properly articulates itself, but also regarding what regulates the conditions of possibility for empirical research, as control keys for the veracity of the discussion. This would be the first strategic level where the need for a reevaluation of the notion of liquidity attests itself (albeit rather indirectly). In the end, taken in its widest socio-historic range, its heuristic productivity of discursive descriptions aside, the Baumanian notion is but a "negative magnitude" through which what is expressed is an indefinite, unqualified "resistance" at liquefaction, the (purely logical) opposition – at any given time or section within the society in general – to what liquefaction has to negate, to overcome. Thus, the pressures exerted by the dynamics of liquidity upon specific social "solids" (structures, classes, groups, institutions, patterns, frames, habitus, etc.) are to be empirically approached as definite modes of resilience to liquefaction (which could, possibly, be quantified) of both discrete social practices and micro-structures. At grass-root level, the social liquidity as it continuously presents itself as something concrete to be investigated is, in fact, viscosity; i.e. it is equally the social objects' and processes' inherent capability to subvert, from within and with its means, the generalized liquefaction, to the benefit of their (relative) homeostasis in the global flow. It is worth questionable if the "total homeostasis" of the global "liquid order", that of the neoliberal stage in the world-historic march of Capitalism, with its customtailored Lebenswelt, does not efficiently perdure because, in order to prevail over sedimentation tendencies, it keeps fluid enough all its articulations by injecting (extra) "solvent" wherever it is needed… So, "liquidity" speaks for the moving principle of the contemporary sociality, while "viscosity" names the former's grip on it, activating its latencies. We may then ask ourselves if, at the micro- and meso-levels of research, at the other end of the spectrum of the soci(et)al forms, the embodiments of this viscosity are not identifiable, and thus open to analysis, in, for instance: the social meaning and the cultural effects of the adaptive strategies of the neo-proletariat to the constraints of the organizational frameworks; the outcomes of the audit culture in terms of different meanings for personal success in life and/or career; the self-entrepreneurship and self-exploitation in liberal professions; the cognitariat and teleworking; uberization tendencies within certain economic sectors, etc.; or, why not, in the social movements which sell themselves as (post-)politic reaction to the all-pervading liquidity.
The session sets about to explore the theoretical interconnections and the empirical applicability of a conceptual pair (expulsions/systemic edge) advanced by sociologist Saskia Sassen in her recent work (2014, 2015). Her argument is that in contrast to the post-war political economy which sought to integrate people either as workers or consumers into an expanding system, the dynamics that accompany the drive towards neoliberalism are of an entirely different kind. The current logic requires only a small but highly functional economy, whose side effect is the effective expulsion of individuals and groups who inhibit the accelerated accumulation of financial capital. This process creates a space outside the economy of the haves, which Sassen calls the systemic edge. In this realm, a condition becomes so extreme that it is rendered ungraspable to the dominant scientific and bureaucratic forms of knowledge. The involuntary denizens of this space on the edge are very diverse and include the increasing numbers of refugees "warehoused" in huge camps, the growing number of people displaced – either physically or economically – by various forms of land-grabbing or the large number of incarcerated individuals. All these processes have the appearance of being highly acute and extreme. Sassen constructs a cogent argument about how expulsions are made and how their extreme nature reveals a deep systematicity across various realms (political economy, environment, public order). What is still missing from Sassen's argument is the internal architecture of the systemic edge. Questions such as: "how is life on the edge stabilized and reproduced or ruptured and transformed? How are individualities on the edge empowered or blunted? Which forms of consciousness can arise through life on the edge and what strategies for action?" may offer a fertile ground for deeper exploration. We therefore invite theoretically, empirically or interdisciplinary-oriented submissions that address one or several of the following topics. We encourage their interpretation as varied instances of a new quality of human experience: that of being expulsed from one's previous land, livelihood or life project.
Expanding contamination and environmental degradation and the deepening of environmental injustice.
Qualitative, quantitative or comparative analyses of cases from the Environmental Justice Atlas (ejatlas.org).
This session is focused on advancing and extending the understanding of how national and transnational social networks impact on the individual and group behavior as well as on social processes.
Researchers, academics or practitioners are invited to present their research work (early stage, ongoing or completed) providing that a social network analysis perspective was employed, either methodologically or theoretically. The session welcomes both theoretical work and empirical applications of network theories and social network analysis to a wide palette of topics.
Scientific collaboration networks (e.g. co-authorship and citation networks).
The above listed research lines should not be considered restrictive, but as examples of presentations fit to this panel. Generally, this session is looking forward to spurring the coalescing of presentations embracing ego-centric (i.e. ego-networks, personal networks), socio-centric research designs (i.e. whole networks) or mixed methods research of social networks.
As an aside, the authors have the possibility of submitting papers corresponding to their research project presentations to the International Review of Social Research (for a general overview of the journal, please inspect the following web page http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/irsr).
Additional queries on this session or on the possibility of submitting manuscripts to the International Review of Social Research can be addressed to gabriel.hancean@sas.unibuc.ro.
The information technology (IT) industry is one of the most important economic sectors in Eastern Europe, being a significant contributor to GDP growth for many countries from this region. In many cities (i.e. Prague, Warsaw, Lviv, Bucharest, Cluj, Sofia) the number of companies in the IT sector and consequently the number of employees is rapidly growing. However, much of the activity in the IT market consists in outsourcing work, deepening localdependence on the advanced capitalist economies. Simultaneously, investments in the IT sector aremaking investments in other industries less attractive, or even further depressing wages (in absolute or relative terms) in other parts of the labor markets. The global boom in the IT sector puts forward cheap new technologies of machine learning and mobile robotics, and ir its precisely peripheral markets, such as those from Eastern Europe, that are among the first to benefit from the new automatization. These peripheral markets are the very producers of the new technologies. Traditional industries are made obsolete by the fourth wave of automation, changing the landscape of the local markets. We invite papers to describe and explain the transformation of labor markets at city level in national, and more importantly, in international contexts.
(4) analyze the business services that provide skills development and personal development for the employees and entrepreneurs.
(5) study the occupational and educational composition of cities and show the intra- and inter- generational mobility in the new economic milieu.
(7) show the interlinks between various sectors of the economy and the way investments and wages are linked in local ecosystems.
We currently witness workforce dynamics trends characterized by the proliferation of alternative work arrangements (e.g. part-time work, tele-work, project-based, determinate-period employment). Work-life balance (WLB) is an 'evergreen' topic of interest, all the more important nowadays for theorists and organizational practitioners alike. The fast-paced rhythm of change typical for the liquid society can facilitate balance, once it is achieved, in an analogical approach to riding the bicycle, i.e.: the more you move, the longer your balance endures. WLB is an umbrella concept that supports a multifold approach and multi-level areas of empirical research, including, but not restricted to: sociology of time (e.g. sociological inquiry into time tracking devices, time budgets and web-based applications), career counselling, sociology of occupations, research methods for human resource management, lifestyles, social psychology of attitudes and values that accommodate perspectives on work ethic.
This extensive family of research encompasses employer-led initiatives and organizational programs that promote staff health and wellbeing, best practice benchmarking in recruitment, on-boarding, training and performance appraisal, including online learning modules, stress management, mentoring and coaching, impact measurement and assessment methods developed for employee surveys. The 'Work-Life Balance and research in human resource management' panel welcomes papers that address such issues of concern, or focus on interrogating the fine dividing line between work passion and workaholism, employer branding and digitalized workspaces. Like liquid society itself, contemporary working models of WLB are daring, emerging, experimental and volatile, based on the constant readjustment and incremental fine-tuning of contradictory driving forces. Other contributions highly relevant for this panel involve downshifting versus upgrading as time use strategies, intercultural training, education for diversity, as well as multitasking.
Over the last three decades, European societies are facing transformations dominated by the demographic, social, economic and political phenomena difficult to predict by the scholars and often difficult to assume by the policy makers. One of these represents the shrinkage phenomenon present in all industrial cities of Europe, but hardly recognized by authorities. Another phenomenon with a direct impact on urban population is migration, in its several forms: migration of the labor force within the community space, from the South-Eastern European countries to the Western countries; dual migration from third countries to EU states; and with the war in Syria, the Mediterranean refugees' routes connects the areas of conflict to the European states. Another relevant phenomenon is the collapse of the industry and the flow of the urban population into the suburbs. These phenomena have a direct impact on urban social development in all European countries.
Among the most observable effects, we mention the following: Imbalances of the real estate market, the appearance of dysfunctional industrial zones and brownfields in the middle of the cities, and imbalances between the demand and supply of social infrastructure (utilities, urban services, transport, commercial services).
In this panel we will focus on the various types of institutional responses, of the local authorities to these challenges, as well as policy models agreed at EU level in the field of regeneration and urban development.
We invite presentations focusing on the social production, reproduction and transformation of human kinds, examining old and new social types in various contexts. Authors are welcome to discuss, among others, what are the methods and resources through which we do and undo gender, age, race, (dis)ability, and various categories of professions and work, body configuration or psychic life.
In particular, how are human kinds rendered more or less present and absent, vocal and silent, visible and invisible? How do people organize the multiplicity of voices by selectively amplifying and muting them, by organizing collective messages, orchestrating controversies and adjudicating conflicts?
How are various categories of persons portrayed in diverse media and interactions, from film, video games, graphic novels, and commercials to laws, algorithms, social media and digital exchanges? What are the tendencies in representation? What is the specificity of each medium in re-representing age, and other social classification?
What is the role of science and its many disciplines in shaping the diversity of human nature? How do lay and expert actors invoke scientific arguments to assemble or disassemble categories and conditions of psychic functioning, such as the spectrum of autistic disorders, ADHD, or depression? How are scientists reformulating old ages and gender identities?
What is the emerging role of algorithms and artificial intelligence in doing and undoing bias, discrimination and inequality? How are novel forms of digital selves and algorithmic regulation influencing social classification?
How are noteworthiness and celebrity allocated in life and after death to various types of humans? How is social memory organized and stratified?
Who creates the above-mentioned portraits, science, and algorithms? How do authors' profiles influence the selective creation of portrayals and models of human kinds?
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, twenty-eight years ago, scholars have praised the new wave of democratic set-up in Central and Eastern Europe. With few, albeit notable, exceptions, the political elites of post-communist countries have embarked on and supported the tedious road towards democratization and, later, the consolidation of democracy and its institutions and practices. The profound reforms have promised economic, social and institutional performances. However, recent elections in the European democracies have cast doubt on the consolidation of democratic institutions and values in countries previously regarded as champions of democracy. The electoral success of parties with populist programs and leaders with messages focusing on the corruption of established political parties have been linked by some scholars to the unsuccessful management of the anti-crisis policies, to the increasing social and economic polarization, the migration waves, or the historical legacies. It increased the scholars' interest in explaining the use and performance of populist messages in electoral campaigns, the use of electoral clientelism, as well as the variation in electoral behavior of voters, parties and candidates. European politicians have joined the populist bandwagon with much success. The options of the political elites for non-democratic governance, which some leaders call 'illiberal democracy', seem to be in accordance with the preferences of a larger mass of voters who support candidates accused of illegal practices. This panel invites scholars to submit papers which analyze issues such as voters' behavior, party and candidates' preferences for populist messages, the electoral systems and electoral clientelism, political corruption, voting behavior, legitimacy of elections and trust of population in the electoral process, new political elites and the electoral success of anti-system parties, institutionalization of party systems, representation of minorities, legislative policies and legislative representation. Proposals analyzing the use of public opinion polls in electoral competitions, in the government set-up and in the policy-making process, are welcomed. We encourage submission of both theoretical and empirical papers with single or mixed methods design, with an emphasis on new methods such as experiments. Case studies, cross-national empirical research, and methodologically oriented papers fit in this panel.
The Romanian Group for Studying Social Values collected data for the EVS-2018 and WVS-2017/2018 waves in December-April 2017/2018. The WVS2017RO partly consists from a panel sample with respect to WVS2012RO wave (the size of the panel is about N=600, while the remaining sample is N=600). Data is planned to be available for our team in May 2012. After that, they will be under the usual embargo for several months. Our intention is to make them available to other scholars with anticipation (that is starting May, long before the embargo ends), under the condition that they present the result of their work in our session in the conference, and in case of publication they acknowledge the support of our project. If interested, please inform us of your intentions. The resulting section in the conference will focus on changes starting 1990s to present days and on the current values in the Romanian society. A special attention will be paid to the impact of international migration (specific migration-related modules are included in the questionnaire).

Higgins Funeral Home has served Fayetteville and Lincoln County for four generations, back to the days when a horse drawn hearse transported the deceased from home, to church, and then to a cemetery.
Much has changed since January 1, 1903, when Hiram, Eugene and Owen Higgins opened Higgins Brothers Furniture and Undertaking on the northwest corner of Fayetteville Square. The community has changed, growing in size and diversity. Funeral and burial practices have changed, too, in ways that might have shocked our Victorian founders in their full-dress black tails.
But our family has been a constant presence for more than 110 years, caring for your family during difficult and emotional times.
Funeral Customs Change with Time
As a full service funeral business, Higgins Funeral Home provides pre-planning, at-need services and referrals to after-care services.
Memorial services and funerals today feature personalized touches that celebrate the life of a loved one who has passed on. We offer a memorial DVD using old photographs and video footage that is shown on a screen during visitation and sometimes the service itself.
The family of one golf fanatic asked our staff members to skip the suits and wear khakis and golf shirts at the memorial. Families no longer must choose visitation and earth burial OR cremation. How we celebrate each life has become personalized.
When my great-grandfather and his brothers started the business, the deceased was laid out in the home where friends would call to comfort the bereaved family. Embalming, if done, took place in the home. The family selected casket interior materials, which the undertaker installed. A retired fire horse pulled hearse to the community church for a service and led the mourners to the cemetery.
High Standard for Service Endures
The three Higgins brothers sold off the furniture business in 1931 to dedicate their efforts to helping Lincoln County families through times of loss.
Their commitment to providing personal, high quality service has been passed down through the generations, first to Phillip Higgins, Hiram's son and my grandfather, then to Charles Higgins, my father, who joined the family business in 1972.
Our business home was built in 1987, and as a child I played hide-and-seek while my father worked. After working in the tech industry in Colorado, I returned to Fayetteville in 2001 with my wife Amy and our two children to work at the funeral home.
As my father neared retirement, I took a more active role and now am a fourth generation owner who proudly continue the Higgins Family legacy of compassion and service.

Experience a completely new and different approach to haute cuisine and let yourself be spoiled in the warm atmosphere of the Mesnerhaus.
The 3-toque restaurant located amid a beautiful mountain scenery, with roots dating back to the year 1420, is a listed building and established itself as a unique gourmet restaurant.
During the time of prosperity of the mining industry, the doctor, humanist, and alchemist "Theoprastus Bombastus Paracelsus" stayed in the Menserhaus for a couple of weeks, which was built by miners.
The open fireplaces were replaced chimneys and the upper floor, including the wooden ceiling, were renovated. Luckily, the Mesnerhaus was left untouched during a major fire in the village of Mauterndorf.
During the 19th century, the building served as a schoolhouse, a retirement home and a sacristan house. The log cabin on the upper floor and the gable roof were plastered.
The sacristan Schoklitsch and the architect Volkmar Burgstaller renovated the building and turned into a restaurant. Under the lead of Fuiko Franz, Chef of the Year 1995, the Mesnerhaus, threatened by decay, became an exquisite restaurant. Maria Steffner completed her apprenticeship under the supervision of her predecessor Gerhard Gugg.
In 2007, Maria and Josef Steffner settled in the Mesnerhaus after visiting Europe's best cuisines. Since then, Maria and Josef Steffner have passionately run the Mesnerhaus. They are proud and hold it in high regard to have the possibility to pair their culinary art and modern ambiance with such historic walls. They both live their shared dreams with full passion and enchant their guests with their regional and imaginative culinary creations.
Today, you can experience a new way of 3-toque cuisine in the Mesnerhaus.

Louis II, Count Of Flanders

Louis II of Flanders (25 October 1330, Male – 30 January 1384, Lille), also Louis III of Artois and Louis I of Palatine Burgundy, known as Louis of Male, was the son of Louis I of Flanders and Margaret I of Burgundy, and Count of Flanders.
On his father's death at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, he inherited the counties of Flanders, Nevers, and Rethel. The Guilds, depending on the English wool trade, forced Louis to recognize Edward III of England as his overlord and arrange an engagement to the daughter of the English king, Isabella. Louis managed to avoid this by fleeing to France in 1347.
On the death of his father-in-law in 1355, he took the title of Duke of Brabant, but was unable to wrest the duchy from his sister-in-law Joanna, Duchess of Brabant in the War of the Brabantian Succession. Louis managed to defeat the Brabantians in the battle of Scheut near Anderlecht (17 August 1356) and capture the cities of Mechelen, Brussels, Antwerp and Leuven, but he was unable to acquire the duchy. By the Peace of Ath (1357) he gained the lordship of Mechelen and the city of Antwerp.
Louis' tried to govern as a Realpolitiker. With regards to his internal policy, his main aim was to prevent the formation of a broad coalition against him, as happened against his father. Except for his last years, he was successful in preventing this. However, even in his latter years he managed to get the support of Bruges against the revolt of Ghent. His foreign policy was one of neutrality...

In case anyone is interested in some passive feeders, I found some on thingiverse, printed them off and they work a treat. Really impressed with them.
How are you mounting these to the RV1/RV4s? Just double sided tape?
Hi, the feeders have magnets on the bottom so they can just sit on the base. Strength of magnets depend on what you go for. You can define the size in the thingiverse contructor to take any size magnets.
The other way is double sided tape but its not very easy to get off the feeder or the base afterwards.
That's cool, i didn't think about it being magnetic ... I'm hoping to use the RV1S just for "exotic" stuff that won't fit on the Juki, so 3d printable feeders are perfect for the job.
Where are you based? Did you just buy the machine on Ebay that sold yesterday?

Revere Schools Looking to Cool Off in Future Heat Waves:District Will Also Pilot Program for Juniors And Seniors to Bring Their Own Computers
by Seth Daniel • September 14, 2018 • 0 Comments
In the heat waves that greeted students back to school in the previous two weeks, those at the Lincoln School and in parts of Revere High School really had to sweat it out in stifling conditions.
Supt. Dianne Kelly said back to school in those two buildings was all about controlling the heat and exhaustion for students and staff, and she said she hopes they can fix that by next school year.
At the Lincoln School, the building is not air conditioned, and temperatures climbed quickly last week during the afternoons. Kelly said they have been trying to put air conditioning window units in the school for the last two years, but have run into electrical issues.
"The first hurdle we ran into was the electrical infrastructure in the Lincoln, which didn't have the capacity to handle all of the window units," she said.
She said they have signed a contract with Ameresco to upgrade the electrical system in the Lincoln next summer. The cost for that is $160,000, she said, and they hope it will lead to a borrowing for new UniVent systems for the classrooms before next September.
"The work is going to take some time and we're going to look into seeing what they can do in the summer next year," she said. "Once the electrical is done, the City Council will have to bond the costs of the UniVent systems."
She said the most recent estimates were those systems would cost in excess of $1.5 million.
At Revere High, the core of the building is air conditioned, and the east wing (where Seacoast used to be) is also air conditioned. However, several of the externally facing classrooms have no air conditioning and get rather hot.
There, they will likely not look to take any action because students are in air conditioning part of the day and not in the a/c the rest of the day. Since the district is vying to get into the state pipeline to build a new high school, adding air conditioning there prior to a major building project would not make sense.
However, Kelly said if they do get into the pipeline this December, the idea would be to repurpose the existing high school for a centralized middle school, which would have a/c.
"If we can build a new school and retrofit the existing high school for a middle school, a/c would be part of the reconditioning we do before we bring middle school kids in here," she said.
Juniors, Seniors to
pilot personal tech
Revere High juniors and seniors will have the option this year to bring their own computers or technology devices to school in order to work on them for academic reasons.
Supt. Dianne Kelly said students in Grades 9 and 10 will be assigned ChromeBooks once again, but students in 11th and 12th grades will have the option to use a district computer or use their own computer.
It's a new frontier for the schools, and Kelly said the biggest concern is making sure students are safe online and that they are using their devices for academics.
"Those that choose to bring their own devices will have an appointment with the Technology team," she said. "They will allow the device on our internet and intranet, but it will be restricted. While they're here and on the network, they will be limited on what they can do so they can be focused on academics and be safe. When they leave the school, it drops off to normal operations."
The idea was something that students called for, as using one computer at school and one at home was hard to navigate. The ChromeBooks used a different system than many kids had who use Macs or other devices. Many students also preferred to simply use their phones or tablets to complete work.
Kelly said it didn't make sense to restrict students and make things harder for them. While Revere was a pioneer in providing technology to students – called one-to-one technology – the need for such things has grown smaller and smaller, especially for older students.
"We are moving to a space in time where these devices are more accessible," she said. "People don't want to be doing things on their home device and then same work on a different device at work…I think we're seeing a time where there is more accessibility to this technology. We started one to one because so many kids didn't have access to technology at home. That's changed dramatically now and kids have the technology and they want to use their own technology, not the school's."
She said they are confident that the technology infrastructure at Revere High is strong, and there are plenty of firewalls and protections in place to make sure no one accesses risky sites.
"We're really just trying to keep up with the times," she said.

Politics|Lobbyists Fighting Spending Cuts Find Ally in Group That Often Backs Them
Lobbyists Fighting Spending Cuts Find Ally in Group That Often Backs Them
By Nicholas Confessore
As one of the country's largest and oldest conservative advocacy groups, the American Conservative Union has long fought to rein in federal spending and limit the size of government.
But behind the scenes, the group has formed a partnership with business lobbyists to tame the activists who have pushed Republican leaders in Congress to adopt some of the most austere spending limits in decades.
In a draft proposal circulated to defense and transportation industry executives in recent weeks, the union is offering to use its grass-roots organization, annual conference and movement clout to lobby against cuts to federal military and infrastructure spending.
The group is also proposing to incorporate favorable votes on military and infrastructure spending into its widely cited Congressional voting scorecard, "the 'gold standard' for elected officials," according to the proposal, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times. The documents shed light on a rarely public corner of Washington lobbying, where industry lobbyists join with grass-roots groups that offer ideological credibility and deep mailing lists of sympathetic activists — sometimes for a price.
"Constitutional conservatives recognize that not all government expenditures are equal," the proposal says. "These investments are core, constitutional federal responsibilities and should be so treated in the allocation of federal resources."
The proposed new effort, called the American Strength Program, would be financed by contributions from the defense and transportation businesses, which have struggled to defend the federal appropriations that benefit them as Congressional Republicans seek further spending cuts.
In recent weeks, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association has urged transportation lobbyists and business executives to make contributions to the American Strength Program. The association, which sometimes works with Democratic-leaning labor unions to advance federal road and bridge projects, suggested it was critical to persuade conservative lawmakers to bend on some areas of spending.
"As you know, in recent times, we have often had trouble convincing our conservative friends that transportation infrastructure is a valuable investment and should not be subject to the spending cuts being discussed," wrote Richard Juliano, the association's senior vice president for strategic initiatives, in an e-mail to colleagues this month. "We would appreciate your considering a major contribution to this program in support of the A.C.U. effort and encouraging others to do so."
Officials at the union, who declined to say how much they were seeking to raise for the new program, described the proposal as a draft. The group's tax returns indicate it raised about $3.8 million in 2010, but as a tax-exempt "social welfare" organization, the union is not required to disclose its donors.
In an interview, Alberto R. Cardenas, the chairman of the conservative union, said all money raised from the program's partners would go into a Beltway-focused media campaign.
"My thought was that we were taking an uneven amount of resources from the two elements that are the most basic responsibilities of the federal government, which are national defense and the development of a national transportation infrastructure," Mr. Cardenas said.
The American Strength Program also hints at some fundamental tensions within conservatism. The movement's establishment, including the conservative union, took root in Washington in an when era military spending was sacrosanct and transportation bills regularly marched through Congress with bipartisan support.

But the movement's vanguard today is a new generation of Tea Party-inspired lawmakers and activists, many of whom arrived in Washington denouncing the infrastructure spending in President Obama's stimulus program. They are more comfortable with cuts to the Pentagon budget and actively hostile to the earmark spending through which so many road and bridge projects have been financed in the past.
John F. Tate, president of Campaign for Liberty, a grass-roots organization that grew out of the 2008 presidential campaign of Representative Ron Paul of Texas, said the American Strength Program "smacks to a lot of people as taking big money to do the bidding of big business."
"We're of the opinion that at this time, with the nation going bankrupt, everything has to be looked at for cuts," Mr. Tate added.
The American Conservative Union has long opposed cuts to the military budget while attacking what it deems wasteful government spending. Its popular annual conference, the Conservative Political Action Conference, draws thousands of grass-roots activists and conservative stars, like Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Mr. Cardenas said the group lobbied to pass last year's transportation bill after Representative John L. Mica, a Florida Republican who led the House Transportation Committee, persuaded him that the legislation made important reforms to road and bridge programs.
When the bill stalled in Congress — in part because of objections by conservative Republicans over its cost — Mr. Cardenas wrote an opinion article in The Washington Examiner urging conservatives to help break the logjam. The bill, Mr. Cardenas wrote, streamlined the environmental review process for new projects and contained no earmarks.
But while the American Strength proposal portrays military and transportation spending as consistent with principled conservatism, some conservative leaders disagreed, saying it would put the interests of particular businesses ahead of the interest of the taxpayers.
"From a policy point of view, we would challenge that argument," said Matt Kibbe, the president of FreedomWorks, a conservative organization that has aligned itself with the Tea Party movement. "We would argue that from a balanced-budget point of view, you need to put everything on the table, including military spending. And certainly the transportation bill is full of earmarks and wasteful spending."
The new proposal also echoes an earlier effort that dragged the conservative union into controversy. In 2009, officials at the group sought more than $2 million from FedEx in exchange for helping the shipping company oppose a bill that would have permitted FedEx drivers to unionize.
When FedEx declined the offer — which included a promise to mobilize conservative union members with direct mail and phone calls — the chairman of the group then, David A. Keene, signed onto an open letter criticizing FedEx. The flip-flop drew sharp criticism from some other conservatives, who accused the conservative union of offering for sale its allegiance and imprimatur.
Mr. Keene left the group in 2011 and is now president of the National Rifle Association. He was replaced by Mr. Cardenas, a former chairman of the Florida Republican Party who also runs a Washington lobbying firm, Cardenas Partners.
Mr. Cardenas's position at the conservative union is unpaid. But several of his firm's clients have lobbied on infrastructure or military-related matters in the past two years. Other members of the conservative union's board also work at lobbying or public affairs firms, representing clients like Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics and other military contractors.
The group's most recent scorecard, covering lawmakers' voting records in 2012, says it tracks a wide range of issues with the mission of "informing grass-roots conservatives and the public — in an unbiased, transparent manner — on where individual members of Congress fall on the ideological spectrum."

FRANCE: With the aim of producing a definitive document by the end of this year, on July 12 the government published for consultation its SNIT transport infrastructure plan that should see €170bn invested over the next 20 to 30 years. Allocated 51·9% of this total, rail is the top priority with 4000 km of new construction expected to divert 2·5 billion passenger-km a year from road and 2 billion pass-km from air.
SNIT includes those high speed projects already approved under the Grenelle de l'Environnement programme, where a second package of legislation aimed at tackling climate change came into force on July 12. Projects to be launched before 2020 include LGV Sud Europe Atlantique from Tours to Bordeaux, Toulouse and the Spanish border. After 2020 work is expected to begin on a second high speed line between Paris and Lyon, running for 410 km via Orléans and Clermont-Ferrand and costing up to €12bn, as well as a second Paris – Calais route via Amiens or Rouen that would cost up to €4·8bn.
Another objective is to transfer at least 10 billion tonne-km of freight from road to rail by 2030; improving the quality and reliability of freight paths is one of the 60 specific actions identified in the SNIT programme. Freight projects include more autoroute ferroviaire services, loading gauge enhancement, electrification and work to provide capacity for longer trains.
Urban transport has been allocated 32·3% of the SNIT budget. As well as a driverless metro around Paris, projects include new light rail systems or extensions to existing networks in 18 cities.
