Talk about "perfect timing!" Off-duty firefighter, Steve O'Malley, just happened to be enjoying his Saturday afternoon at a South Side Harbor on Lake Michigan when a baby stroller blew into the water, baby still attached!
O'Malley, who had just been promoted to lieutenant after 33 years of service, had planned to spend the day fixing up his boat for his wife's upcoming birthday. He recalls holding the door open and walking behind a couple with a little boy in a stroller. Just a little while later, he helped save that little boy.
The little boy's father had already jumped in the water, and O'Malley would follow just moments after.
But as he got closer, O'Malley noticed the little boy lying face-down in his stroller, toys, bottles and extra clothes floating all around him.
"I thought: 'Yeah, I'm getting him. No matter what, I'm getting him," O'Malley said.
With the help of the boy's father, the two men managed to get the little boy back to the pier and in his mother's arms.
What's even more amazing is that the little boy didn't even need emergency services.
"He coughed all this water up and then started crying," O'Malley said.
Afterwards, the couple felt so thankful for O'Malley's help that they invited him to spend the rest of the afternoon with them on a cook out and at their boat dock nearby. O'Malley declined, however.
"They're really nice people," he said.
Meg Ahlheim, spokeswoman for the Chicago Fire Department said she wasn't surprised when she heard about Saturday's rescue.

This is just the charging stand, wmr users move along.
I have one of these branded from idudu and bought from ebay for $30. It's actually pretty convenient to just drop the controllers in place and and let it charge.
In the beginning it was a pain to insert the magnetic USB dongle into the vive controller. Turns out you really have to push it in deep and I'm dreading if I ever have to remove it, that I might damage the port.
The wands never consistently charge fully to white status on the indicator. Occasionally I'll see white but majority of the time they're orange so they're always trickle charging? Been using it for about 8 months now everything still works fine. It's plugged into the power strip and not the PC so can't tell about the firmware update part.
I have the vive pro wands if that makes any difference.

Die Sievertsche Tongrube ist ein etwa 10 Hektar großes Naturdenkmal und Geotop in Hamburg-Hummelsbüttel.

Geschichte
Die Tongrube gehörte zu einer 1898 errichteten Ziegelei am heutigen Poppenbütteler Weg (Ring 3) und dem Abzweig des Hummelsbütteler Wegs. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde sie zwischenzeitlich stillgelegt, der Konkurs der Ziegelei Ende der 1950er Jahre führte zur endgültigen Stilllegung. Durch Senatsverordnung vom 11. Februar 1986 wurde die Tongrube zum Naturdenkmal erklärt, um ihre besondere geologische Bedeutung erhalten zu können sowie die vielfältigen Tier- und Pflanzenarten zu schützen.

Geologie

In der Sievertschen Tongrube befindet sich ein wichtiger Aufschluss mariner und limnischer Ablagerungen der Holstein-Warmzeit, der vorletzten Warmzeit vor der heutigen. Während die Ablagerungen des Holstein-Meeres, des letzten Meeres, das die Fläche von Hamburg bedeckte, meist von jüngeren Schichten bedeckt sind und nur durch Bohrungen erreicht werden können, wurden sie im Bereich der Tongrube durch die Gletscher der letzten Eiszeit gestaucht und bis an die Geländeoberfläche gefaltet. Die vollständige Schichtenfolge lässt die Elster-Kaltzeit (mit Lauenburger Ton) über die Süßwasserablagerungen der nachfolgenden Warmzeit bis zur Überflutung durch das Holstein-Meer nachvollziehen. Anhand mikropaläontologischer Untersuchungen dieser Schichten konnten Erkenntnisse zur Klimaentwicklung und Transgression im Quartär gewonnen werden.

Das Geotop, das sich an der südlichen Abbauwand der Tongrube befindet, wurde nach seiner Untersuchung mit einer Bodenschicht abgedeckt, um Beschädigungen zu verhindern. Besuchern der Tongrube bleibt der Aufschluss daher verborgen.

Flora und Fauna
Auf den kalkhaltigen Rohböden der ehemaligen Tongrube entwickelte sich eine besondere Pflanzenwelt. So finden sich auf einer kleinen Freifläche im südlichen Teil der Grube verschiedene Kleinseggen-Arten, Tausendgüldenkraut (Centaurium), Nickender Löwenzahn (Leontodon saxatilis), Steinbeere (Rubus saxatilis), Augentrost (Euphrasia) und Teufelsabbiss (Succisa pratensis). Diese Freifläche wird vom Botanischen Verein zu Hamburg betreut. Im nördlichen Teil der Grube, die etwas tiefer liegt, befindet sich ein kleiner Teich. Hier ist eines von zwei Vorkommen der Schwarzwerdenden Weide (Salix myrsinifolia) in Hamburg, auch die Breitblättrige Sitter (Epipactis helleborine) kommt vor. Am Teich sind verschiedene Libellenarten beheimatet, darunter das Große Granatauge (Erythromma najas) und die Große Königslibelle (Anax imperator).

Zugang zur Tongrube
Die Tongrube wird durch einige unbefestigte, häufig feuchte Pfade erschlossen, die nicht verlassen werden dürfen. Der Hauptzugang befindet sich an der Straße Eekbalken auf der Südseite. Weitere Zugänge gibt es am Poppenbütteler Weg auf der Nord- und vom Hummelsbütteler Weg bzw. der Gösselkoppel auf der Westseite.

This is my monthly summary of my Debian related activities. If you're among the people who made a donation to support my work (384.14 €, thanks everybody!), then you can learn how I spent your money. Otherwise it's just an interesting status update on my various projects.
The month started with a decision of the technical committee which allowed me to proceed with an upload of a multiarch dpkg even if Guillem had not yet finished his review (and related changes). Given this decision, Guillem made the experimental upload himself.
I announced the availability of this test version and invited people to test it. This lead to new discussions on debian-devel.
We learned in those discussions that Guillem changed his mind about the possibility of sharing (identical) files between multiple Multi-Arch: same packages, and that he dropped that feature. But if this point of the multiarch design had been reverted, it would mean that we had to update again all library packages which had already been updated for multi-arch. The discussions mostly stalled at this point with a final note of Guillem explaining that there was a tension between convenience and doing the right things every time that we discuss far-reaching changes.
After a few weeks (and a helpful summary from Russ Allbery), Guillem said that he remained unconvinced but that he put back the feature. He also announced that he's close to having completed the work and that he would push the remaining parts of the multiarch branch to master this week (with the 1.16.2 upload planned next week).
That's it for the summary. Obviously I participated in the discussions but I didn't do much besides this… I have a "mandate" to upload a multiarch dpkg to sid but I did not want to make use of it while those discussions remained pretty unconclusive. Also Guillem made it pretty clear that the multiarch implementation was "buggy", "not right" and "not finished" and that he had reworked code fixing at least some of the issues… since he never shared that work in progress, I also had no way to help even just by reviewing what he's doing.
We also got a few multiarch bug reports, but I couldn't care to get them fixed since Guillem clearly held a lock on the codebase having done many private changes… it's not quite like this that I expect to collaborate on a free software project but life is full of surprises!
I'll be relieved once this story is over. In the mean time, I have added one new thing on my TODO list since I made a proposal to handle bin-nmu changelogs and it's something that could also fix #440094.
After a discussion with Guillem, we agreed that copyright notices should only appear in the sources and not in manual pages or --version output, both of which are translated and cause useless work to translators when updated. Guillem already had some code to do it for --version strings, and I took care of the changes for the manual pages.
I merged some minor documentation updates, fixed a bug with a missing manpage. Later I discovered that some recent changes lead to the loss of all the translated manual pages. I suggested an improvement to dh_installman to fix this (and even prepared a patch). In the end, Guillem opted for another way of installing translated manual pages.
Triggered by a discussion on debian-devel, I added a new entry to my TODO list: implementing dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile_if_owner to deal with the case where a conffile is taken over by another package which might (or might not) be installed.
At the start of the month, I packaged quilt 0.51. The number of Debian specific patches is slowly getting down. With version 0.51, we dropped 5 patches and introduced a new one. Later in the month I submitted 4 supplementary patches upstream which have been accepted for version 0.60.
This new version (just released, I will package it soon) is an important milestone since it's the first version without any C code (Debian had this for a long time but we were carrying an intrusive patch for this). Upstream developer Jean Delvare worked on this and based his work on our patch, but he went further to make it much more efficient.
Besides quilt, I also uploaded dh-linktree 0.2 (minor doc update), sql-ledger 2.8.36 (new upstream version), logidee-tools 1.2.12 (minor fixes) and publican 2.8-2 (to fix release critical bug #660795).
The Debian Project Leader is working on federating Debian Companies. As the owner of Freexian SARL, I was highly interested in it since Freexian "contributes to Debian, offers support for Debian and has a strategic interest in Debian". There's only one problem, you need to have at least 2 Debian developers on staff but I have no employees (it's me only). I tried to argue that I have already worked with multiple Debian developers (as contractors) when projects were too big for me alone (or when I did not have enough time). Alas this argument was not accepted.
Instead, and since our fearless leader is never afraid to propose compromises, he suggested me (and MJ Ray who argued something similar than me) to try to bring life to the Debian Consultants list which (in his mind) would be more appropriate for one-man companies like mine. I accepted to help "animate" the list, and on his side, he's going to promote both the "Debian Companies" and the "Debian Consultants" lists.
In any case, the list has seen some traffic lately and you're encouraged to join if you're a freelancer offering services around Debian. The most promising thing is that James Bromberger offered to implement a real database of consultants instead of the current static page.
We made quite some progress this month. There's only one chapter left to translate. I thus decided to start with proofreading. I made a call for volunteers and I submitted one (different) chapter to 5 proofreaders.
The liberation campaign made a nice leap forwards thanks to good coverage on barrapunto.com. We have reached 80% while we were only at 72% at the start of the month (thanks to the 113 new supporters!). There's thus less than 5000 EUR to raise before the book gets published under a free license.
Looking at the progression in the past months, this is unlikely to be completed on time for the release of the book in April. It would be nice though… so please share the news around you.
Speaking of the book's release, I'm slowly preparing it. Translating docbook files is not enough, I must be able to generate HTML, ePub and PDF versions of the book. I'm using Publican for most formats, but for the PDF version Publican is moving away of fop and the replacement (webkit-based) is far from being satisfactory to generate a book ready for print. So I plan to use dblatex and get Publican to support dblatex as a backend.
I have hired Benoît Guillon, the upstream author of dblatex, to fix some annoying bugs and to improve it to suit my needs for the book (some results are already in the upstream CVS repository). I'm also working with a professional book designer to get a nice design.
Hopefully everything will be ready in April. I'm working hard to meet that deadline (you might have noticed that my blog has been relatively quiet in the last month…).

Andrew Cuomo signed a law authorizing the use of cameras on school bus swing arms to record and then charge drivers for illegally and unsafely passing stopped school buses.Earlier this month, board members approved having School Superintendent Kevin Whitaker and Board President Paul Abbott reach an accord with the city. The two officials have previously met with city officials to discuss the plan.The discussion considered having the city, or a vendor of the city's choice, install the cameras at no costs to the district. The city, or vendor, would then, in payment, receive any money collected through fines from drivers successfully prosecuted for illegally passing a stopped school bus. "In an effort to address the continued violation of motor vehicle operators illegally overtaking or passing school buses and placing students at risk of injury or death, the New York State Legislature passed and the Governor signed legislation amending the Vehicle and Traffic Law providing for the installation and use of safety cameras on school buses and allowing for the adoption of procedures to adjudicate owner's liability for an operator illegally overtaking or passing a school bus," the Board's agenda resolution said.Drivers caught on camera passing a stopped bus would face $250 tickets, with higher fines for repeat violators. The cameras, mounted on the stop sign that extends outward whenever a bus is stopped, will automatically record each vehicle that passes it illegally.State transportation officials have estimated motorists illegally pass stopped school buses tens of thousands of times each day in New York. During a one-day crackdown on the problem in May, 2019, police around the state issued 626 tickets for illegally passing a school bus.School buses transport 2.3 million children in New York state each school day, according to state figures. read more

'X' Gender NY Driver's Licenses Coming With Computer Update
Share:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window) Image via New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.ALBANY (AP) — New York intends to offer driver's licenses with a nonbinary gender identity marker of "X," but it could take more than a year before Department of Motor Vehicles computers will be able to automatically handle the option, state officials said in court filings.Officials made the disclosure in papers filed in a federal lawsuit brought against them by Sander Saba, who is challenging the state policy of limiting gender identity on licenses to either "male" or "female." Saba, a nonbinary transgender New York City resident, said in the lawsuit filed by Lambda Legal this summer that the policy is discriminatory.The state recently moved to dismiss the lawsuit against Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the DMV commissioner as moot. State lawyers argued in court papers that officials late last year had begun planning to "permit New Yorkers to receive a driver's license that bears an 'X' gender identification marker through an automated application process."But first, the DMV needs to modify its computer system so it can create internal license records without a binary gender selection. The agency expects that to happen in the fourth quarter of 2021, or later, Gregory Kline, the DMV's deputy commissioner for administration, said in court filings. A Lambda attorney on Tuesday welcomed the development, but said New York needed to do more."Every day that a person is denied accurate identity documents is a day in which their rights are unconstitutionally deprived, and in which they suffer harm. We will continue to prosecute our case on behalf of Mx. Saba so that all nonbinary New Yorkers can have accurate state identification that they need without undue delay," attorney Carl Charles said in a prepared statement.A DMV spokesperson said New York has taken a number of steps to protect and advance the civil rights of New Yorkers who are transgender or gender nonconforming."The DMV understands the importance of this issue for so many New Yorkers but cannot comment further as this relates to pending litigation," Lisa Koumjian said in an email.New York City and New York state permit nonbinary people to obtain birth certificates with an "X" gender marker. And more than a dozen states offer "X" gender markers for driver's licenses, according to Lambda.Saba already has two identity documents with an "X" marker: a New York City birth certificate and an earlier driver's license from Pennsylvania. But Saba wanted to exchange the Pennsylvania license for a New York license.In arguing to dismiss the lawsuit, the state invited Saba to come into a DMV office and go through a manual application process that would result in a license bearing an "X" marker. It was not clear if Saba intended to take up the DMV on its offer. read more

Liam Neeson's Heartbreaking Memories of Natasha Richardson's Final Days
View Comments Neeson says: "She was on life support…I went in to her and I told her I loved her, said 'Sweetie, you're not coming back from this, you've banged your head.'" Then the actor says he remembered their pact. "That was my immediate thought…'OK, these tubes have to go. She's gone.'" Their love affair started on Broadway, when they sizzled onstage in Anna Christie in 1993. They went on to become a highly-respected married acting couple on the stage and screen, until she died suddenly in 2009. And now, five years later, Liam Neeson tells 60 Minutes he still can't believe Natasha Richardson is gone. In the heartbreaking interview, Neeson talks for the first time about arriving in the Canadian hospital where Richardson was brain dead after her skiing accident, and about the couple's pact to turn off life support if either of them were ever in a vegetative state. After Anna Christie, Richardson went on to win a Tony Award in 1998 for playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret and later starred on Broadway in Closer and A Streetcar Named Desire. "[Her death] was never real," Neeson tells Anderson Cooper on the episode, set to air Sunday, February 23 at 7PM on CBS. "It still kind of isn't. There's periods now in our New York residence when I hear the door opening, especially the first couple of years…anytime I hear that door opening, I still think I'm going to hear her." Neeson returned to the boards to play Oscar Wilde in The Judas Kiss and John Proctor in The Crucible, but hasn't appeared on Broadway since Richardson's death. His new film thriller Non-Stop opens in theaters on February 28. read more

Tuck Everlasting to Join Bull Durham in Atlanta
Based on the 1975 children's novel by Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting tells the story of a young girl named Winnie Foster and her friendship with Jesse Tuck and his family, who become immortal after drinking from an enchanted spring. Featuring music by Chris Miller and lyrics by Nathan Tysen (collaborators on The Burnt Part Boys) and a book by Tony nominee Claudia Shear (Dirty Blonde), the show will be directed by Casey Nicholaw. No word yet on casting, but the previous production was set to star Andrew Keenan-Bolger as Jesse Tuck, Carmello Carmello as Ma Tuck, Sadie Sink as Winnie Foster and Michael Park as Pa Tuck. Bull Durham is scheduled to play September 3 through October 5. Directed by Kip Fagan, the musical will feature a book by Ron Shelton and music and lyrics by Susan Werner. Shelton received an Oscar nomination for the Bull Durham screenplay and also directed the film. The show is inspired by Shelton's time on and off the Minor League Baseball field and tells the story of veteran catcher "Crash" Davis who is brought to the Durham Bulls to prepare rookie pitcher Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh for the majors. Annie Savoy, the muse of the Bulls, has a tough choice to make – each season she converts one player from an also-ran to an all-star by sharing her wisdom and her bed. The love triangle heats up, as each character fights with their own wants and hopes for what the future holds. Tuck Everlasting is to receive its world premiere in Atlanta after postponing a pre-Broadway engagement in Boston last summer. The musical will now play January 21, 2015 through February 22 as part of the Alliance Theatre's 2014-15 season, joining the previously announced Bull Durham, which has now set dates for its run.

Jack Daniel's Indian Sells Out in Ten Minutes
The wicked cool Indian Motorcycle Jack Daniel's Custom sold out... in 10-minutes!
Mar 16, 2017 at 8:11am ET
By: Tod Rafferty
Indian Motorcycle dealers began accepting pre-order deposits for the Limited-Edition Jack Daniel's Indian Chieftain at noon EST on Monday. By 12:10 p.m. Eastern, pre-order capacity of 100 units was filled.
"This overwhelming level of demand is an incredible testament to the power of these two iconic American brands," said Steve Menneto, President of Motorcycles for Polaris Industries. "Without a doubt, this brand collaboration and motorcycle are tapping directly into a deep sense of patriotism and American pride. We couldn't be prouder to be a part of it."
"Last year, we were blown away when we filled order capacity in eight hours. Clearly, we have tapped into something truly special, but to fill pre-order to capacity in 10 minutes is nothing short of incredible, "said Dave Stang, Director of Events and Sponsorships for Jack Daniel's. "Ultimately, it's critical to us that our partnered responsibility message of "Bottles & Throttles Don't Mix" is heard as loud and clear as the roar of the 111" V-Twin motor that powers these Indian Chieftains. These incredible bikes are an important platform in carrying that message to consumers."
Only 100 of these show-stopping Limited Edition Indian Chieftain's were available globally, each coming with a commemorative American flag handmade from Jack Daniel's barrel wood. Each flag is customized to include the owner's name, motorcycle number and VIN. The individually numbered bikes carry an MSRP of $34,999 and a Canada MSRP of $42,499. Each comes with a two-year unlimited mileage factory warranty and free membership in the Indian Motorcycle Riders Group for one year.

Tag: The Bell Witch
I Survived The Bell Witch.
Published on June 4, 2018 June 4, 2018 by L. Sydney Fisher
Home of The Bell Witch, Adams, Tennessee.
I remember being mesmerized by The Bell Witch stories when I was a child. I read at least 3 or 4 different books on the subject and vowed that I would someday travel to the small town of Adams, Tennessee where the famous Bell Witch once lived. Now three decades later, I can now mark it off my bucket list and instead pencil it in on my "Must Return" list.
Last Saturday May 26th, 2018, a friend and I traveled to the farm located about 55 miles north of Nashville. Upon entering the small community of Adams, Tennessee, I immediately sensed the remnants of a time past as Katy (not to be confused with Kate Batts) drove us down a rural county highway, following the Bell Witch signs strategically placed along the roadside. The rolling hills extended for miles on what was once hundreds of acres of farmland owned by John Bell, Sr. The lush, green grass and wooded landscape was surrounded by white fences that gave the property a warm and inviting feel unlike the memories that the Bell Witch had left behind 200 years before. Although Katy and I reveled in the beauty of the area, we both couldn't deny our apprehension as we approached the entrance to the site of the Bell Witch Cave.
Part of the original Bell Farm land where the Bell Witch once roamed.
Katy followed the signs until we saw the entrance to the tour. A bright red barn with bold white lettering on the front greeted us at the main entrance as we made our way to the gift shop. Rain clouds loomed overhead as we hurried to park and get our tickets.
At the entrance of The Bell Witch site.
After booking our tour, we were taken to a cabin (replica, not original Bell cabin) where we listened to an audio presentation of the Bell Witch haunting and toured a cabin that was set up with furniture and props staged to look much like what the original Bell house would have looked like at the time of the spirit's visitations. Although the home was not the original site, our EMF (electromagnetic field) detector started acting crazy, the lights zipping back and forth while we were in the front of the house. When we moved to another room upstairs, the EMF detector stopped for a few minutes as if whatever had been present was suddenly gone. At that time, I began experiencing a strange pressure on my neck/chest area near my throat that caused me to cough. The feeling intensified a couple of times and startled me to the point that I felt the need to take deep breaths. I knew that I was sensing something paranormal.

After the audio presentation that lasted about 30 minutes, we were escorted to another part of the cabin that housed artifacts and pictures of the original site. Included in the mini-museum was a black cauldron that belonged to the Bell family when they lived in the house where the hauntings occurred. I intentionally let myself be the last guest to leave the room so that I could stay behind and touch the large stone that sat on the floor and was reportedly a part of the original Bell house fireplace. I placed my hand on the rock, but unfortunately, I did not pick up any residual energy. Then just as I turned and walked out of the cabin to follow the rest of the group to the Bell Witch Cave, I was overcome by a wave of nausea that did not subside until I reached the cave entrance.

Entrance to The Bell Witch Cave.
We were greeted by Kris, our tour guide who narrated the fascinating history of the cave and the land. She informed us of the area's known American Indian burial grounds linking parts of the area's history to the Bell Witch legend. But within minutes of entering the cave's second room, I felt that our 10-person tour group was no longer alone with just our tour guide. The distinct sound of children's laughter filled the front room that we had just exited.
I spoke up and said, "I hear children laughing. Are there other people coming?"
But no one else seemed to hear the children and our tour guide continued to narrate. I looked down the long, narrow hall of the cave's stone walls toward the cave's entrance and saw no one, but I couldn't shake the feeling that we were not alone. Our guide then showed us pictures taken by guests who had captured spirits and strange orbs while on the cave tour. Suddenly, my suspicions were validated.

We finished up the tour about fifty feet inside the cave. I marveled at its beauty and the markings that were visibly noticeable on the walls and ceilings left behind by ancient Indians. When we exited the cave entrance, Katy and I walked several feet and were suddenly startled by the appearance of a bare-chested young man with dark hair and a long black beard. The color of his eyes was pitch black and he wore only black gym shorts while sitting high on the heavily wooded hillside outside the cave entrance. Directly below us was the Red River often mentioned in the Bell Witch stories as being near the original site of John Bell's home located just two miles away. The man studied me as I walked closer to him, his piercing dark eyes glaring at me as if I was intruding on his space. I glanced down the hill at the river and looked around to see if he had a canoe or kayak nearby, but I saw nothing that indicated that he had been on the river that day. He was just standing alone on the steep slope studying me as I now paused on the rocky path. I turned and called for Katy who was several feet behind me. She finally appeared and joined me only to feel the same creepiness as the stranger watched us pass, my eyes locked with his. Who was he? How did he get up that steep slope without shoes on his feet? Was he a shapeshifter placed there for us to see? We still don't know, but we won't forget the unease that his sudden appearance caused.

L. Sydney Fisher leaving The Bell Witch Cave.
If you dare to visit the site of the famous Bell Witch, take no souvenirs such as rocks from the cave and make sure you say a prayer as you leave. Although I never heard The Bell Witch's cackle that day and thank goodness, I never saw any weird animals, I still felt the remnants of her spirit and those of many others who still haunt the landscape where she once roamed.

Tesla to build wholly-owned Shanghai plant: WSJ
The Tesla logo on a Tesla Model S 70D in Detroit, on April 7, 2015. (AP / Carlos Osorio)
Published Monday, October 23, 2017 11:01AM EDT
Tesla has reached an agreement with Shanghai authorities that would make it the first foreign automaker to build its own plant in China, putting it in the driver's seat in the world's biggest electric-vehicle market, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Silicon Valley electric carmaker's wholly-owned manufacturing facility would be built in Shanghai's free-trade zone, the Wall Street Journal said, quoting unnamed sources with knowledge of the deal, and could allow Tesla to dramatically lower the cost of its cars in China.
China usually requires foreign automakers to set up joint ventures with local Chinese partners, which involves splitting profits and giving away some technology, though they also avoid import tariffs.
AFP was not immediately able to obtain comment from Tesla or the Shanghai government.
China's electric-vehicle market is already the world's largest and is expected to continue growing fast, especially since the government plans to require that all automakers' sales include a certain percentage of electric vehicles from 2019.
Beijing is also mulling plans to ban fossil-fuel burning cars by an unspecified date, following decisions by France and Britain to outlaw the sale of such vehicles from 2040 to limit emissions.
No timeframe for the launch of the Tesla plant was given.
Tesla had said in June that it was in talks with the Shanghai government and that it would detail its China manufacturing plans by the end of the year.
More than half a million "new-energy" cars were sold in China last year, and the government is targetting sales in the millions in coming years.
The Wall Street Journal said any cars built by Tesla in the free-trade zone would still incur a 25 percent import tariff.
Tesla fires hundreds of workers as part of annual reviews


I went a little crazy the other night. You can tell the dress was the culmination of the evening's practice. By far the best use of light and dark. Also another chapter in me torturing mixed media paper and forcing it to carry watercolors (which, its not REALLY meant for…hence wrinkles).
Late Spring/early Summer is apparently a rough time on my writing! I apologize for the interrupted posting. It's when all the travel wraps up that I tumble flat on my creative face and find that coloring books are about all I can manage. That and practicing my penmanship. I promise I'm working on the story, too….
Just messing around in a meeting. Sketching helps me pay attention and stay engaged. Plus, good practice.
* They hadn't waited for us. We came around a bend and saw our four companions walking toward us. Namal was in the lead, Gabe hovered near the limping Quill, and Balleck brought up the rear. Ayglos and I urged our horses faster to quickly close the awkward gap between being sighted and giving explanations….
This is Hook, rendered in ink and ink pencil. Every now and then I indulge and throw myself into drawing a horse. Alright, fine, perhaps it happens often. In my mind, he is somewhere between a Lusitano and an Arabian in build and carriage.

Mary C. (Sagan) Prizzi
July 17, 1921 ~ December 11, 2019 (age 98)
Mary C. (Sagan) Prizzi, 98, formerly of Girard, PA, died peacefully at Rolling Fields Elder Care Community on Wednesday, December 11, 2019.
She was born in Titusville, PA, on July 17, 1921, a daughter of the late John and Catherine (Chojnacki) Sagan. Education was extremely important to her. She persevered and overcame many challenges to graduate from Colestock High School in 1939. A few years after graduation Mary moved to New York ("Queens") where several siblings resided and worked at the time. She was a stay-at-home Mom. During the 1960's, she worked for the U.S. Census Bureau, for a Dentist as a Dental Hygienist, and eventually for the City of New York; retiring from Social Services in 1983. Following her retirement, she moved to Erie, PA, and then to Girard, PA in 2004.
In her younger years, Mary's leisure activities included bowling in couple's leagues and women's leagues, cooking, and playing cards, especially Pinochle. After retirement she was able to do more travelling; she was always the "Navigator" holding the map and dictating directions. Her grandchildren were passengers for many fun adventures and cherished memories! In her last decades (80s and 90s), Mary was her happiest when visiting family and friends sharing stories from "way back when", looking through photographs, and simply enjoying each other's company. Her favorite solitary activities included reading, collecting and trying out new recipes, completing crossword puzzles, and sending birthday and anniversary cards to family.
Mary is survived by her loving family, her daughter, Margaret V. Mayer of Albion; granddaughters, Jennifer A. Edwards (Michael) and Michelle L. Gresh (Alan) of Girard, Deborah R. Brock (John) of McKean; a grandson, Dean J. Mayer (Shelley) of Belmont, NC; brother, Frank Sagan of Spring Hill, FL; great-grandchildren, Julia, Reese, Jenna, Nathan, and Lucas; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Andrew F. Prizzi; son, in infancy, Thomas Leslie Neumann; sisters, Stella Krawiec, Valli Wiltanger, and Helen Baranek; brothers, Joe, John, Al, Matthew Sagan; and son-in-law, Ronald D. Mayer.
Friends may call on Sunday, December 15th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Edder Funeral Home, Inc., 309 Main St. East, Girard. A Prayer Service will be held there on Monday at 9:30 a.m. followed by the Funeral Mass at 10 a.m. at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 101 Olin Avenue, Girard with Rev. John Fischer officiating.
Burial will take place at St. Catharine's Cemetery in Titusville.
The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to the staff at Rolling Fields Elder Care Community for their exceptional care.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co., 37 Walnut St., Girard, PA 16417 or the West County Paramedic Association, 6852 Meadville Rd., Girard, PA 16417.

The Latest: Idaho mass stabbing victim flown to Utah
BOISE, Idaho – The Latest on a mass stabbing at an Idaho apartment complex (all times local):
Boise police say one of the six children injured in a stabbing attack at an Idaho apartment complex Saturday night has been flown to a Salt Lake City hospital for treatment of her injuries.
Police Chief William Bones says refugee organizations have raised money to cover a flight so the child's mother can join her.
Nine people were injured in the attack, and Bones said some of their lives remain in danger. He said all of the victims will be forever scarred by the physical and emotional injuries they sustained.
Thirty-year-old Timmy Kinner of Los Angeles has been charged with several felonies in connection with the attack. Police say he briefly stayed at the apartment complex but was recently asked to leave because of behavior problems.
Police say Kinner returned to the complex on Saturday and began stabbing children who were attending a birthday party. Three adults who tried to intervene were also stabbed.
Police say the suspect in a mass stabbing at an Idaho apartment complex had only been in Boise a short time when the attack occurred Saturday night.
Boise Police Chief William Bones said 30-year-old Timmy Kinner has an extensive criminal record in multiple states. He declined to provide details other than to say it included violent crimes, substance abuse and prison time.
He said Kinner was invited to stay at the low-income apartment complex by a resident who had recently met him. Bones said the resident wanted to give him a helping hand in return for the help she had received from others in the past.
The resident was not among the victims, though several members of refugee families were. Kinner is an American, but the apartment complex houses many refugee families from Syria, Iraq, Ethiopia and Somalia.
Police say the nine victims of a stabbing attack at a Boise, Idaho, apartment complex included refugee families from Syria, Iraq and Ethiopia.
The victims included six children who were attending a birthday party at the apartment complex Saturday night. Three adults were also injured while trying to help the children.
Police Chief William Bones said Sunday that 30-year-old Timmy Kinner has been charged with several felonies. Bones said Kinner had been temporarily staying with a resident of the complex but had been asked to leave on Friday because of problems with his behavior.
Megan Schwab with the International Rescue Committee said the violent attack may compound the existing trauma already experienced by the refugee families, many of whom fled war and conflict in hopes of finding safety in the U.S.
Boise, Idaho, police say the suspect in a mass stabbing that injured nine people had targeted a three-year-old girl's birthday party.
Police Chief William Bones said Sunday that the birthday girl was among the injured, as were five other children aged four to 12. Three adults who tried to save the children were also hurt. Bones said all are alive, although some are gravely injured.
Bones said a resident of the apartment complex where the stabbing took place had allowed 30-year-old Timmy Kinner to stay there a short time, but asked him to leave Friday because of his behavior.
Police say Kinner returned Saturday, when the girl was having her party a few doors down from where he had stayed.
The complex houses many resettled refugee families, but Kinner is not a refugee.
Idaho police have identified the suspect in a mass stabbing at a Boise apartment complex as a temporary resident who was recently asked to leave the complex.
Nine people were injured in the Saturday night attack, including six children. Police say four of the victims have life-threatening injuries, but all were still alive Sunday morning.
Thirty-year-old Timmy Kinner is facing nine counts of aggravated battery and six counts of injury to a child.
The Boise Police Department said in a prepared statement that they believe Kinner, from Los Angeles, was a temporary resident of the apartment complex but had been asked to leave on Friday. The complex houses many resettled refugee families, but Kinner is not a refugee. Police said they do not yet have an exact motive for the attack.
11:00 p.m. SATURDAY
Idaho police say nine people are hospitalized and one man is in custody after a mass stabbing at a Boise apartment complex that is home to many refugee families.
The police did not yet have a suspected motive for the Saturday night attack but said a 30-year-old man was in custody.
All nine victims were found inside the apartment complex and in the parking lot, and included some refugees who live in the complex. Boise Police Chief Bill Bones said Saturday night that there are no fatalities but some victims have life-threatening injuries.
Investigators said they did not yet know if the suspect was connected to the victims in any way.

Written by John Augus and Seth Grahame-Smith
Based on characters created by Dan Curtis
Directed by Tim Burton
Needs more spires…
The thing about Dark Shadows is it is the type of film that Tim Burton directing and Johnny Depp starring should make it a natural hit and an amazing cinematic experience. But instead things just don't turn our right, in fact, they go pretty wrong pretty quickly. The dark and dreary atmosphere is unfortunately too familiar with Burton's other works, even though it should stand out here. The plot is the weakest part, the whole jilted ex-lover out for revenge trope we've seen time and time again. Sure, it's dandied up with all the spooky trappings, ghosts and vampires and witchcraft, but it's nothing new. Unfortunately, that's a big problem. Just reading through the plots for the series, there was a lot of things going on, most of which is ignored and discarded, though there are a few references. But what we end up with is bland.
The Transylvanian version of The Help didn't do as well
Though the period setting of 1971 is largely used on a few jokes that fall flat and hippie murder (killing hippies is soooo Kent State…) it does help in giving some characters a distinct look as they're dressed in period clothing as opposed to modern fashion (and it helps that retro looks are in and what old is new!) Beyond that, you'll not even notice that it is set in the past and not modern day, the few times older technology is used, it's not intrusive and it keeps things from getting diluted with cell phone videos of vampire action being uploaded to YouTube.
The film is not all bad, there are bright spots. The strongest aspects of Dark Shadows are the actors. Everyone is bringing their A games. But they got little to work with, and the film can't be carried by performances alone. And remember that it's Collins, not Cullen. Let's not say things we can't take back and have sparkle vampires starting to wander around…
Three Stooges witchcraft
Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) – A 17th-century man cursed to become a vampire by a scorned lover. He's imprisoned in the ground for 200 years and is freed in 1971, where he sets out to try to bring his family back to prominence. There is no actor I could have conceived of playing this part except Johnny Depp, and no one else could have done it justice. But Depp seems to be acting a constant stream of Jack Sparrow variations, eventually it's going to get tiresome. Eventually means real soon.
Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green) – A former servant of the Collins family 200 years prior and a witch, who has been enacting revenge against the family ever since Barnabas spurned her. Eva Green is spectacular and looks spectacular.
Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) – The matriarch of the Collins family, and the only thing holding it together until Barnabas arrives with help and secret treasure. Michelle Pfeiffer is frakking awesome. It is great to see a strong role for an older woman in a Hollywood film.
Carolyn Stoddard (Chloë Moretz) – Elizabeth's teenage daughter, who seems to think she's some sort of rocker chick and is permanently scowling.
Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote) – Hired to be the governess of David Collins. Victoria is a name she made up on the train ride over. She bears a striking resemblance to Barnbas's true love, Josette du Pres, and quickly catches his eye.

Who needs realistic color?
Jonny Lee Miller is largely wasted as Roger Collins, his character's role is so diminished and one-dimensional it wasn't worth including in the film, we've already had the message that "family is the most important" beaten into our heads long before he exits the film. His son David Collins is played by Gulliver McGrath, who looks like a clone of the boy from Jumanji (straight down to the same hair!) And let's not get into how original a creepy kid who sees dead people is. Jackie Earle Haley is the caretaker of the manor, but Ray Shirley is the standout of the two servants, because she's just there and it's cool. It's not a Burton film if he doesn't squeeze in Helena Bonham Carter, and she's there as Dr. Julia Hoffman, who in this incarnation is a psychiatrist for David that takes an interest in Barnabas.
A prologue introduces us to Barnabas as a child and his father impressing the meaning of family onto him. And the servant girl Angelique (the daughter of another servant!) who has an eye for Barnabas. But Barnabas doesn't love her with all his heart, which drives her mad with revenge. She hypnotizes his true love into committing suicide and curses him into becoming a vampire. Then Angelique leads a mob against him and has him buried alive. 200 years later (196 years, exactly) he's accidentally discovered and returns to the Collinswood mansion to find it in disrepair, and what is left of the Collins family filled with dark secrets of their own. Their business is in near ruin, and death haunts them.
What kind of f'ed up Cinderella film am I trapped in?
The first thing you should do when you see a coffin buried far beneath the earth and wrapped in heavy chains is to greedily open it…
Barnabas vows to return the family to glory, thanks to his vampire hypnosis powers and his knowledge of a giant stash of treasure inside the mansion. Good thing there was all this secret gold ex machina to help the plot…
Angelique freaks when Barnabas is revealed to have returned, she's spent the last 200 years systematically destroying his family and taking over all the fishing business. But she's still in crazed stalker love. He spurns her yet again, so the revenge is on, big money style! or something. The rebuilding of the Collins business commences, but danger is ahead and things will soon be exploding out all over. But first Barnabas must figure out how people are in the TV! Ha, that Barnabas!
There is a weird class warfare angle to the whole plot, with the jilted servant and the rich heir to the family. Barnabas is fine to use Angelique for sex, but he doesn't love her, and spurns her for another. She is like a toy for him to play with until he finds his true love. It's also sort of creepy that she's at least the second generation of her family to be a servant for the Collins.
The ghost with the most…time spent wandering the halls
Silly witch, that's not how you bowl!
Even the killing of construction workers and hippies by Barnabas is an affront against the working class and the 99%. Why not go after the all old white male executives of Angelique's fishing company? Heck, they are the enemy of the family and helped destroy their livelihood (and a few are used as her goons in a later scene!)
One of the major points of conflict is who owns the town of Collinsport, the Collins or Angelique. This could be seen as a takeoff of the alternate reality from It's a Wonderful Life, where Bedford Falls is renamed Potterville. Except Collinsport is already named after rich people. And can someone really own a town? (Actually, some towns have put themselves on eBay when they went broke, so yeah, I guess you can…)
Large portions of this film are Barnabas walking places and looking at things.
Can you tell it's 1972? Should we be even more obvious?
Outside of the class issues, let's move on to gender roles. What happens to Carolyn Stoddard is not only a parallel to womanhood that should have been explored, it is avoided for most of the film and ends with a brief and unsatisfactory payoff that goes nowhere. I don't want to spoil it too much. Every female character not related to Barnabas is in a race to get into his pants. Though while Dr. Julia Hoffman is pretty single note, Angelique is a well-fleshed look at the descent to obsession and madness. There was a lot of scenery chewing going on.
There is a lot of drama in the air, but Elizabeth is great as the woman holding the family together as it neared the abyss. She shows she is capable of more, and her initial hints that she might be greedy and selfish turn out to be acted for the protection of the family and not for her own interests. It is natural that she would show up at the end armed with a shotgun, the ticked off mother bear defending her clan. She may not be able to compete with the vampires and witches and ghosts, but she's not going to sit things out.
Once I'm finished with this cup, I'm going to find the bastard who switched the coffee with Folgers Crystals and chop off his balls!
Ha ha ha! That's our Barnabas!
The marketing for the film seems to be unable to decide if they want to call this a comedy or a drama. It isn't really a comedy, though there are a few funny parts, the majority is more serious in tone. The fish out of water scenes were a frustrating mix of good humor and blown chances. While not a total wash (and certainly not the worst of the films we've gotten advanced screening passes for – looking at you, Jack and Jill!) Dark Shadows isn't as cool as I hoped it would be. It seems more like something you wait until it shows up on TBS for endless reruns between Law & Orders.
Jessica Rabbit is alive and attending vampire balls…
The new flip-top Barnabas toys, available only with a McDonald's Happy Meal…
It's a miracle of plot device necessity!
Rated 3/10 (I'm pre-ghost!, is the teeth plaque he's brushing also invisible?, Vampires in Black)

Johnny Depp proved himself to be no Jonathan Fridd. In terms of playing Barnabas Collins, Depp isn't even worthy to shine Fridd's shoes with his tongue!

When the DVD comes out, we'll see if that's one of the deleted scenes…

Story Text: The United Nations refugee agency is a possible contender for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize award.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was set up in 1950 and has already won the Noble Peace Prize twice - in 1954 and in 1981 for its work in aiding and protecting the rights of migrants and refugees around the globe.
The UNHCR has responded to multiple refugee crises around the world in recent years, including the influx of Rohingya Muslims into Bangladesh from neighbouring Myanmar, the movement of people from the Democratic Republic of Congo into Uganda, and people fleeing political and economic turmoil in Venezuela into Colombia and northeast Brazil.
In 2021, the agency continued its work worldwide alongside helping refugees affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and working with those displaced by the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.
There will be no banquet in Stockholm this year and laureates will receive their Nobel Prize medals and diplomas in their home countries, the Nobel Foundation has said.
The traditional festivities were replaced last year as well with a mainly digital celebration as the pandemic raged Europe and the rest of the world.
The Foundation said the ceremony will be broadcast on television and live-streamed via its Nobel Prize digital platforms.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is keeping open the possibility of awarding the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in an in-person event.
Last year's Peace Prize was awarded to the World Food Programme in a virtual ceremony.
There are 329 candidates for 2021's Nobel Peace Prize, the third-highest number of contenders for the prestigious award ever.
This year's Nobel Prizes, awarded for achievement in medicine, physics, chemistry, literature, peace, and economics, will be announced from October 4 to 11, with the Nobel Peace Prize on October 8.

"Paul Resika: Geometry and the Sea" reviewed in Hyperallergic
Paul Resika, The White Sky, 2017, Oil on canvas, 36 x 28 inches. (BP#PR-8069)
A Painter's Extraterrestrial Journey Through the Light of Day
In recent decades, living and working in and around Cape Cod, Paul Resika's imagery has veered between the naturalistic and the mythical.
In his studio near San Francisco, an accomplished abstract painter once gushed to me about the freewheeling art scene he encountered in New York in the 1960s. "It was great," he said, banging the table and adding an expletive, "Until Andy Warhol ruined everything." After that exchange, I thought about an older generation New York-based artists who probably thought Jackson Pollock's 1949 appearance in Life magazine "ruined everything" by turning Abstract Expressionism into the new norm.
On the other hand, some painters are never intimidated by the changing weather. Soon to celebrate his 90th birthday, Paul Resika has been painting since before Pollock broke big. A modernist genre painter, a virtuosic colorist, and a realist painter who traffics in otherworldly moments, Resika has integrated so many idioms of abstraction into figuration that he seems to be giving a middle finger to the art world's ever-changing avant-gardes.
Geometry and the Sea, exhibiting concurrently at Bookstein Projects and Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects, spotlights Resika's recent seascapes, many completed last year. Set along seacoasts and depicting chromatic transformations of sky and sea, these new pictures also provide insights into Resika's ongoing artistic journey.
As the story goes, the journey began at age 12, when Resika was taken by his mother to studio art classes at a nearby orphanage in Harlem and, soon afterwards, downtown, to study with the Polish émigré painter Sol Wilson. Wilson's semi-rural cityscapes, many set in seaside ports, permanently influenced Resika. His early education was supplemented by his time in Hans Hofmann's famous studio classes. There, he learned to render the voluminous nature of space and the "push-and-pull" interplay between color and form. "With Hofmann you had to draw forces," Resika told Ira Goldberg of the Arts Student League, "there were no things. Everything was about relationships."
But for Resika, things were why he painted. Supported by his family, he studied anatomical drawing and left New York for Europe. In Italy, he was galvanized by the Venetian School painters, especially Titian and Tintoretto. Back in America, investigating with bolder color and imprimatur techniques — painting as luminescence — bolstered his belief in the aesthetic value of traditions that had become uncool, like landscape and still life.
In recent decades, living and working in and around Cape Cod, Resika's imagery has veered between the naturalistic and the mythical. By disarming the viewer with unassuming representations of lighthouses or fish, flowers or hillsides, the paintings lure the eye ever closer, as intermingled colors and fine gradations of light both constitute and complicate those objects.
In fact, Resika's recent seascapes in Geometry and the Sea prove Hofmann's painting theory right: relationships are everything. The intensities in coloration are contained by austere discs, triangles, and quadrants. Horizons break into vertices and vice versa. Though the compositions are large-scale and the presentation flattened, their angles look steep and startling, calling to mind the interplanetary views provided by photographs of the earth taken on the moon.
A contemplative spectacle courses through the exhibitions' geometrics. The pictures' foregrounds are dominated by pyramidal outcroppings. These metronome-like projections signify coastal ridges or dunes that disrupt otherwise serene views on to vacant planes of sea and gradated sky.
While each painting conjures a distinct time of day or lunar phase, the images point to a dimension beyond time. The latter effect results from Resika's poetics of space. He exploits oppositions while hinting at correspondences. In "The White Sky," (2017) a freshly risen sun is couched in lush white. The turquoise water yields a horizon violently foreshortened by the blood-red triangular landscape.
Inversions like this abound. In "Red Dunes Green Sea" (2016-17) the orange sky evokes terracotta earthiness while the underlying blues worked into a green sea suggest vegetation.
Here and there, human instruments mimic the elemental. In "Ascent (Sail and Half Moon)" (2009) a towering triangle — a sail unmoored from its ship — yields four areas of blues, pinks, and reds. These vivid polygons stack one upon the other to form a sharp pyramid that cleaves the blue backdrop. The sail's borderlines parallel the faint margins between light and shadow in a spherical half-moon.
The most unsettling seascapes are those lacking a visible waterline. In these pictures, land masses have a weird, floating gravity that makes the earth look extraterrestrial. In "Blue" (2017) competing variations in hue and brightness generate sensations of heat and cold, nightshade and daylight, but the general atmosphere is one of an eerie, pre-human silence.
As in all of Resika's work, there is a persistent ambition in these paintings to articulate the primordial by honoring the ordinary. In "A Quiet Romance" (2017) the pinks and whites of a conch — its stout and beveled shell dwarfing a pearl-like moon — are set in an all-over violet backdrop that stands in for sky and sea.
"Moby Dick" (2017) is the most dynamic painting. It is also the most visually complicated. A white and pink cycloid is conjoined to a pyramidal blue structure, cresting on a white and gray sea surge, suggesting the hunted whale and capsizing ship in Herman Melville's epic. This crisply delineated, angular mayhem is counterbalanced by a calm, seamless blue sky and ocean — a blue so pervasive it swallows up a sun that is filled by blue impasto. Water here collaborates with sky to deliver ravishment from the universe's indifference.
As Resika's art bestrides two centuries with no sign of letting up, it reinforces and refutes the Biblical wisdom that there is nothing new under the sun. Through realignments and manifold perspectives on the same allegorized seascape, these new paintings draw forceful attention to the interdependence between light and time.
Geometry and the Sea provides lessons that are as complicated and as plain as day. The earth's revolutions and annual orbit around the sun are, on one level, invisible scientific abstractions. They are known only by the shifting sunlight, changes made visible in the fluctuating colors of immediate elements — stone and moon, air and sky, coastlines and breakwaters.
Through traditional genres such as landscape Resika shows there is no end to exploring how color belongs to light and how that changing light makes the familiar strange. In our visual world, that light seems always fleeting. Resika's art persists by stopping time.
Geometry and the Sea continues at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects (208 Forsyth Street, Manhattan) through May 20 and Bookstein Projects (60 East 66th Street, 3rd Floor, Manhattan) through May 26.

Migration is not a thing, like water, but the individual or combined actions of many individual people, all with their own experiences and motivations.
My book, Polish families and migration since EU Accession, explores the stories of Polish parents in the UK – and how they talk about their integration, transnational practices and feelings about possible return to Poland – to understand how they make decisions about how long to stay and how, as it has transpired, they hardly ever decide to go back to Poland.
In my book¸I demonstrate the seemingly unstoppable dynamics of networks, as family members and friends of the 'pioneer' migrants move abroad, often without definite plans to stay, but find themselves putting down roots, and inviting other Poles in turn.
The EU provides a free movement space, but since most EU citizens do not move abroad (even if they could make a better living by migrating) the absence of immigration controls cannot on its own explain why migration happens. The main point is that the free movement space allows families and friends easily to re-unite across international borders.
This, as much as economic factors, explains why Polish and other Central and East European migration has continued apace since my book first appeared in 2010. The family reunification process is now visible in many other West European countries, not just the UK. Networks have continued to function dynamically despite the global economic crisis, austerity policies and increased hostility towards migrants from majority populations.
I undertook 115 in-depth interviews with Polish mothers in Poland and the UK, as well as fieldwork notes and a specially-designed opinion poll in Poland about family migration.
A new chapter for the paperback edition draws on my 114 interviews for three recent projects as well as ethnographic fieldwork and a vast reservoir of English- and Polish-language Polish migration research which has suddenly appeared in the last few years and which I also review.
Most of my research was conducted in Poland, in the conviction that migration is best understood by combining a sending and receiving country perspective. My fieldwork sites had rich histories of migration and a strong but changing 'migration culture' which was evident from how interviewees talked about migration and the workings of networks.
Migration should not be 'into the dark' (with nothing fixed in advance) but if you could go abroad 'to someone' it was worth 'giving it a go'. Individuals and families who migrated were not condemned by neighbours for being materialistic or unpatriotic: instead, they were said to be migrating 'for bread, not coconuts' and a 'normal' standard of living.
Most interesting, however, was the fact that the migration culture was changing with regard to taking children abroad. Whereas until very recently the norm has been for just one parent to work abroad, usually the father, returning at intervals to his household in Poland, there is now widespread agreement that this produces too much heartache and that 'families should stick together'.
In other words, the reasons why Polish children move to the UK are to be found in Poland as much as in the UK.
On the one hand, classic family reunification where the husband goes first can appear to simply reinforce traditional roles. However, on closer examination it appears that family reunification is a step towards, and evidence of, more equal relationships between spouses.
Not all wives are happy to stay in Poland and wait for their husband to send them remittances. Moreover, the book illustrates that wives, and sometimes also children, have a major role to play in shaping the family's migration strategy.
A decisive event in many families, and one which deserves attention from scholars, is the 'inspection visit', when family members visit the husband shortly after his departure abroad. In other words, it is important to look closely at what is entailed by 'family reunification' for twenty-first century migrants, and to recognise that it does not necessarily imply the playing out of conventional gender roles.
Polish families and migration since EU accession by Anne White can be ordered here for £21.59.
I think that it is unfair to separate families. I have seen hundreds of people who said that they have been living without their partners. some people for more than 15 years. In this modern time we should not allow this happen in this country. Government should speed up all backlog cases and give them decision. Migrants should have a good life here or back home. Immigration laws should not block them or delay them in these long waiting to get a decision. It is very sad to see people suffer due some old dated immigration laws.
I live in the UK and voted for Brexit. I voted for Brexit because I feel like our little Island can't take anymore people in- no matter where they are from. How ever I do appreciate that the eastern Europeans do the jobs the British don't want to do.
I really enjoyed reading this clearly written and interesting blog post summarising your throughtful research. Your use of words such as families, parents, mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, spouses, children, friends and young people directs readers towards thinking of Polish people as the multi-facted human beings they (and all of us) are, rather than as just 'migrants'. Many thanks!
