Web scraper is a technique for extracting structured information from a web page. With Python, you can build a efficient web scraper by using BeautifulSoup, requests and other libraries. However, these solution is not fast enough. In this article, I will show you some tips to build a super fast web scraper with Python.
…a boom in conservative Christian schooling, driven nationwide by a combination of pandemic frustrations and rising parental anxieties around how schools handle education on issues including race and the rights of transgender students.
When the pandemic swept across the country in the spring of 2020, many parents turned to home-schooling.
Others wanted or needed to have their children in physical classrooms. In many parts of the country, private schools stayed open even as public schools moved largely online. Because many parents were working from home, they got a historically intimate look at their children’s online classes — leading to what some advocates for evangelical schools call “the Zoom factor.”
More significant, said Mr. Laats, are the words that conservative schools do not use, like “inclusion” and “diversity,” in contrast with a growing number of public and private schools. About 68 percent of students at conservative Christian private schools are white, according to the Education Department, a figure that is comparable to other categories of private schools but significantly higher than public schools.
If many conservative Protestant schools in the 1960s and 1970s were founded to keep white children away from certain people, then the goal today is keeping children away from certain ideas, said J. Russell Hawkins, a professor of humanities and history at Indiana Wesleyan University. “But the ideas being avoided are still having to do with race,” he said.
Deana Wright enrolled her children in Smith Mountain Lake in July, soon after speaking at a school board meeting in Franklin County. She and her husband did not want their children to keep wearing masks in school, and she had also started reading about what her district was teaching about race. She was “shocked” to come across terms like “cultural competency” and “educational equity” — euphemisms, as she saw it, for critical race theory.
“We’re just so grateful that the Christian academy is here,” she said.

Este material se concibe como una guía con pasos básicos para llevar adelante un proceso de mapeo junto a las y los estudiantes y a partir de algunas ideas y recomendaciones que puedan ser retomadas, ampliadas y mejoradas a partir de la experiencia, y de las temáticas y situaciones que se vayan dando en cada uno de los espacios educativos.
Al día siguiente, la ciudad amanece en llamas con las iglesias grafiteadas: “Lxs negrxs tenemos todo el derecho de incendiar un país que construímos gratis”, citando un tweet de @solomongeorgio quien hablaba sobre la protestas por el asesinato de George Floyd en 2020. Al igual que ese cuadro del Prado, este país ha sido construido por cuerpos negros e indígenas que garantizaron el Estado de bienestar de la blanquitud española. “We don’t choose this future”.
Fantasear no significa olvidar, significa reelaborar las narrativas del dolor. Retornar lo arrancado. Devolver lo robado. España es especialista en devoluciones en caliente, estrategia política del sistema de control migratorio que implica la expulsión y devolución de personas migrantes en el instante en el que atraviesan la frontera del Estado. España devuelve a los cuerpos “que no pertenecen” a este territorio, pero aún no devuelve todo lo que no pertenece a este territorio.
El tiempo postpandémico no existe para nosotrxs porque hemos vivido desde hace siglos en este mundo pandémico antinegro, antiindígena y antitrans. Nosotrxs sabemos que “there are black people in the future” (Alisha B. Wormsley) porque “el amor y la libertad negra residen más allá del cuerpo” (Walidah Imarisha: Rewriting the Future: Using Science Fiction to Re-Envision Justice, 2015). No hay espacio o tiempo que nos contenga, no hay Museo que nos encarcele porque siempre nos fugaremos.
Ibai Llanos y Gerard Piqué han liderado un evento donde 31 hombres y una mujer de diferentes países compiten para ganar el Mundial de Globos. ¿Cómo se ha convertido un vídeo viral de un juego casero en un evento mediático que ha congregado a marcas y a miles de personas?
El evento contó con el apoyo de numerosas marcas comerciales y los datos de audiencia son bastante llamativos: la emisión de Twitch asciende en estos momentos a más de 8,5 millones de visualizaciones y casi 500.000 espectadores de media durante todo el streaming. El peruano Francesco de la Cruz se impuso en la final al alemán Jan Spiess. El presidente de Perú felicitó por Twitter al ganador. La cuenta de los JJOO en español también se hizo eco. Y hasta la BBC ha publicado un artículo sobre el tema. Un éxito.
We are allowed to map certain facts from reference imagery in news articles etc.. -though this technically depends on where you are from-. You have to
be fairly certain of the position of each object. They can be a few meters off, but you shouldn’t haphazardly map them.
select sources which are reliable and mention them in your changeset sources or alternatively using the source and source:date tags.
make sure you’re using the right imagery and (if any) offset. This can be adjusted in the editor’s layer menu (in iD, this is located in the right sidebar).
be careful if/when touching existing objects. (You may want to contact the local community, if there is one, to discuss whether they want to map the event to begin with); This may change/remove objects on the map 1) ways which are used for routing 2) areas, such as buildings, or POIs which may be of interest for humanitarian aid.
You will have to use the proper Lifecycle tags (in combination with area=yes where needed).
be sure you know how to map with multipolygons where needed.
as always, look on the wiki for tags and ask the community if you need help mapping.

Madlyn, que no ha respondido a este diario, dispone un alquiler adaptado al perfil de los nuevos inquilinos: pagando un poco más al mes, la inmobiliaria oferta limpieza de las casas, cambio de sábanas, cuidado de plantas, paseo de perros… Todos ellos servicios ideados para un nuevo vecino, de entre 30 y 40 años, que aterriza desde otras zonas en busca de ubicación y una sensación de autenticidad edulcorada.
A diferencia de Malasaña o Lavapiés, totalmente transformados en parques temáticos para ‘millennials’, en Puerta del Ángel el proceso gentrificador acaba de empezar y avanza calle a calle, como la lava de un volcán. El viejo y el nuevo barrio conviven a pocos pasos; así, mientras unos degustan cervezas artesanas al sol de la plaza, a tres portales de distancia todavía hay vecinos que se acercan a la esquina donde unos colombianos abatieron a tiros al ‘Niño Sáez’, vecino del barrio y uno de los mayores butroneros de la historia de España, para dejarle flores frescas. Alguien escribió «Sáez eterno» en la pared y el ayuntamiento lo cubrió inmediatamente. Aún puede leerse con un determinado tipo de luz.
The shortages have drawn comparisons to the global energy crises of the 1970s, when an OPEC oil embargo led to widespread shortages. But unlike then, the current shortage is not one of fuel but of trained drivers to deliver it.
Truck drivers tend to be older, and they are retiring. At the same time, driver trainees are facing delays in getting licensed because of the pandemic. Transport companies have reported raising wages for truck drivers by 25 percent or more this year to retain them.
Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union has made labor shortages worse, but it’s not the sole cause. The Road Haulage Association, a trade association of road transport operators, estimates that Britain is facing a shortfall of 100,000 drivers. About 20 percent of those are drivers who left Britain after it voted to leave the European Union.
“As soon as a tanker arrives at a filling station, people on social media are advising that a tanker has arrived, and then it’s like bees to a honey pot. Everyone flocks there,” Mr. Madderson said. “Within a few hours it is out again.”
OpenStreetMap offers many possibilities for creating high resolution paper maps. Unlike commercial map services such as Mapquest and Google Maps, there are only a few restrictions on what you can do with OSM images.
This page explains how to get existing OSM data from the web and how to convert it to an SVG image via Osmarender.
Osmarender isn’t a usual application. Instead, it’s a set of files which let you perform an XSL transformation.
GUI written in Python to parse OSM (OpenStreetMap) files and render them onscreen. Layers may be toggled on/off and drawing may be customized.
This program allows a user to render OSM files within the GUI. The GUI enables the user to easily modify which layers are visible and the style of these layers.
The program exports maps as images.
a process by which you can generate your own custom-made stylized maps. A stylized map is a map where the user can specify which data layers are visualized, as well as define the style with which each layer is visualized. I will first describe the process through which you can write software to stylize maps, followed by an example of the Python software I wrote to perform this task.
The region is specified by a bounding box, which consists of a minimum and maximum latitude and longitude. Choose as small a region as will be useful to you, since larger regions will result in larger data files, longer download times, and heavier load on the server. The server may reject your region if it is larger than 1/4 degree in either dimension. When you’re first starting out, choose a very small region so that you can figure things out quickly with small data sets.
There are several ways of finding latitude and longitude values. Since we are interested in a bounding box, perhaps the clearest way is to use the bounding box selection features of the ‘export data’ link. On the homepage map pan and zoom to roughly the right area, and then click the ‘export data’ (link on the left). This sidebar display includes the four values you need for a bounding box matching the extents of the viewport. Click ‘Manually select a different area’ and then drag a box to select exactly the region you want.
You must now construct an API request URL as specified in the map request docs. In the URL, a bounding box is expressed as four comma-separated numbers, in this order: left, bottom, right, top (min long, min lat, max long, max lat). Latitude and longitude are expressed in decimal degrees. North latitude is positive, south latitude is negative. West longitude is negative, east longitude is positive. The method described in the previous section will give you suitable values.
Example:
https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=11.54,48.14,11.543,48.145
The API is limited to bounding boxes of about 0.5 degree by 0.5 degree and you should avoid using it if possible. For larger areas you might try to use XAPI, for example:
http://overpass.openstreetmap.ru/cgi/xapi_meta?*[bbox=11.5,48.1,11.6,48.2]
Refer to the XAPI page for details of other servers available.
You can just type this URL into a browser if you want, but that may not work as well as you’d hope, especially if the data is large. If you know how to use them, command-line tools like wget and curl will do a better job.
If you’ve specified a region with a lot of data, you may have to wait a while before the HTTP response begins (the server is crunching your request). If your client times out, try setting options for a longer timeout, or choose a smaller region.
Here’s an example command line for wget:
wget -O muenchen.osm "https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=11.54,48.14,11.543,48.145"
It supports loading GPX tracks, background imagery, and OSM data from local sources as well as from online sources and allows to edit the OSM data (nodes, ways, and relations) and their metadata tags.

Everything changed with the pandemic. As Spain went into lockdown, its population cloistered at home, Llanos saw his viewership figures explode: His Twitch channel currently commands 7.8 million followers, making him one of the 10 most followed creators on the platform. His YouTube account attracts a similar audience.
The players’ motivation is perhaps a little more calculating than that. “Twitch is the Generation Z platform,” said Julian Aquilina, a broadcasting specialist at the media research firm Enders Analysis. “It skews very young, and quite male. It is quite a different audience to traditional broadcasters.” Llanos offers a precious route into that audience: His interview with Dybala, for example, attracted more than 100,000 live, largely teenage viewers.
It is an approach, Aquilina said, that may become more common. “Twitch is becoming a broadcaster,” he said. “Amazon has done that with some N.F.L. games, putting them on Twitch as well as Prime. If you have the rights to something, you want it distributed across platforms: You can sell the broadcast rights but still have an online presence.”
A la pregunta sobre cuál es la relación entre ciudadanía y ciudad, nos plantea que la ciudadanía es “un cuento chino”, que es ideología pura, y que hoy al hablar de ciudadanía se excluye a un porcentaje de habitantes en la ciudad y que, además, se basa en la falsa premisa de que las personas son libres e iguales.
Para Manuel Delgado no es posible imaginar una ciudad sin conflictos, porque la vida es conflicto y que hoy, para lo urbano como forma de vida, el principal enemigo es la mayoría del urbanismo y la arquitectura, que han servido para convertir la ciudad en el lugar de la usurpación y el apoderamiento para fines económicos y politicos.
NFTs are tokens that we can use to represent ownership of unique items. They let us tokenise things like art, collectibles, even real estate. They can only have one official owner at a time and they’re secured by the Ethereum blockchain – no one can modify the record of ownership or copy/paste a new NFT into existence.
The World’s 1st Destroyed Diamond NFT.
So I went and bought a real diamond for $5k—> destroyed it—> minted a NFT for the diamond. I wanted to see how much value the NFT retains.
Digital assets replacing physical ones is an inevitable trend of this century. You cannot afford to not understand it.
Hablar de vivienda colectiva es hablar de vida en común, y por consiguiente, del conflicto como herramienta que nos construye socialmente. Asumir dicho conflicto como parte natural del espacio intermedio que surge entre dos o más partes.
Gran parte de la arquitectura residencial de los últimos años ha optado por negar ese espacio de conflicto. Sin embargo, y como hemos visto, pueden existir formas de asumirlo y trabajarlo. La vivienda del futuro será así la que se materialice como discusión permanente. Recomponer ese binomio (vida-trabajo) establecido por la ciudad industrial y renunciar al imaginario de vivienda dormitorio en favor de una nueva idea de espacio compartido en el que vivir, trabajar, disfrutar y cuidar acompañados.
es curioso que el trabajo de las editoriales, por ejemplo, e imagino que también de productoras de cine y de música, se basa en el hecho de que existan miles de personas dispuestas a trabajar a cambio de nada durante un tiempo –en manuscritos de novelas y guiones, por ejemplo– para después ofrecer algo que tal vez la empresa no quiera. Esto no sería imaginable en otros ámbitos, nadie se pondría a hacer quinientos pares de zapatos si no fuera porque ya le están pagando el tiempo necesario para hacerlos. Pero como en la cultura se trabaja con el ego, con lo especial, con lo «artístico», parece que en sí mismo debería ser recompensa suficiente. En cambio, hay muchas personas con historias que contar que sencillamente no tienen tiempo material para dedicarlo a pasarse dos años haciendo algo que quizá nadie quiera o que, incluso si alguien lo quisiera, lo que le paguen no cubra en absoluto los gastos ni el tiempo dedicado.
Así se establece un sesgo en la cultura: hay que tener tiempo, o un colchón patrimonial familiar, o una situación de no explotación doméstica, o un salario elevado para poder escribir. Si hubiera un interés estatal en que se escuchen distintas voces, se instaurarían procedimientos para que así fuera, pero apenas se hace. En todo caso, sí creo que el capital simbólico es más capital que simbólico, y que la realidad virtual es más realidad que virtual.
…concebir la importancia de los servicios públicos es sencillo, lo difícil es vencer la fuerza que se opone a la pérdida de la máxima rentabilidad.
gran parte de la novela podría datarse en el sentido de contar de dónde viene, con qué sombras estaba boxeando, de quiénes vienen pequeños relatos, reflexiones, alusiones, la información, los caminos para llegar a una idea, en qué conversación, artículo, tuit o mail o lectura o charla surgió una línea de diálogo; tal vez un día si logro tener tiempo haga esa suerte de base de datos, porque sería un modo de demostrar que la idea del inmunólogo Agustín Lage de que las colectividades hacen ciencia a través de los individuos también se da en la literatura y que no es solo algo abstracto ni tampoco significa que no exista el trabajo de una autora o autor, sino que ese trabajo se suma a otros muchísimos.
There two main paths to look for entries to autostart:
/etc/xdg/autostart – called system-wide and most of the application will place files when they are installed.
[user’s home]/.config/autostart – user’s applications to start when the user logs in .
There is a security problem here, which is sometimes installing a package will place an autostart file there because the maintainer decided it is important but the package might be just a dependency and the next time the user logs in unwanted program might execute and open ports!

What happens to architecture after the climate emergency undoes its foundational assumptions of growth, extraction, and progress?
Living with the climate emergency demands systemic change across economic, behavioural, and social structures, with profound implications for approaches to the built environment and spatial production. Architecture after Architecture examines how spatial practices might respond to such challenges, going beyond technical fixes, by addressing the cultural and socioeconomic factors that influence how we make, occupy, and share space.

His first home computer, the ZX80, named after the year it appeared, revolutionised the market, although it was a far cry from today’s models. At £79.95 in kit form and £99.95 assembled, it was about one-fifth of the price of other home computers at the time. It sold 50,000, units while its successor, the ZX81, which replaced it, cost £69.95 and sold 250,000. Many games industry veterans got their start typing programs into its touch-based keyboard and became hooked on games such as as 3D Monster Maze and Mazogs. The ZX80 and ZX81 made him very rich: in 2010 Sinclair told the Guardian: “Within two or three years, we made £14m profit in a year.”
In 1982, he released the ZX Spectrum 48K. Its rubber keys, strange clashing visuals and tinny sound did not prevent it being pivotal in the development of the British games industry.
But it flopped, and Sinclair Vehicles found itself in receivership by October of the same year. Reviews expressed concerns about the safety of driving a vehicle below the sight line of other motorists, as well as exposure to the elements. The following year, Sinclair sold his computer business to Amstrad.
That sense of community requires a lot of humility, precisely the thing I am afraid that the onslaught of Covid denial stories is robbing me of by undermining my empathy for others. Martha helped me with perspective. This is not a problem of individual moral certainty or persuasion. This is a social problem with big structural issues. That does not absolve me of my responsibility for seeing the humanity in people I vehemently disagree with, but it does make me feel less guilty about being unable to save them.
I still do not understand how we can be in community with people who, by withdrawing from their social responsibility, are actively harming others. But, I do not think I have to understand it. I don’t think that I even have to be in community with Covid deniers. I have to somehow be in community with the people who are behaving in socially responsible ways without demonizing those who are not. Demonizing them turns my community into a reactionary force, which is precisely how the vaccines and masks became weaponized to begin with. It is a classic case of not becoming what you despise by losing focus on what you value.

Go #OpenBIM, go #OpenSource. Watch this video and see how #BIM data actually works!
This introduction to Native IFC covers all the basic concepts, code, libraries, and tools to get started building your own Open Source AEC tools.OSArch:
OpenBIM is the practice of BIM in a vendor-agnostic manner. For BIM to be vendor-agnostic, BIM data must be defined using an open data standard, and BIM practices should follow standardised workflows. An example of OpenBIM involves sharing BIM data using IFC and DXF file formats. An example of closed, or proprietary BIM, is sharing BIM data using RVT and DWG file formats.
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), is an Open Data schema and set of formats used to store OpenBIM data. It is developed and maintained by BuildingSMART International. IFC data can digitally describe many concepts, including:
Physical objects in our built environment (walls, slabs, columns, pipes)
2D and 3D geometry that represents objects or annotate objects
A diverse set of properties and attributes spanning many domains
Materials attributes and display colours
Construction planning, resource allocation, and scheduling
Quantification of elements
Roles and responsibilities of organisations and individuals
Design strategies and legal constraints
Analytical models for structural analysis, energy analysis, and light analysis
Fouce detalla las claves que apuntalan el negacionismo: «Simplifican la realidad, dan un marco de seguridad que hoy no tenemos, te hacen sentir parte de un colectivo y apelan a la libertad».
«Son gente perdida. No vas a convencer a un negacionista, porque salvo honrosas excepciones se mantienen en sus trece», concluye José Antonio Forcada. «Aunque no suele ser habitual, el motociclista Jorge Lis se dio cuenta de lo que era la realidad, pero llegó tarde».
To get rid of the setup utility, you need to follow these instructions below:
Step 1: Boot your Asus computer and wait for it to the Aptio Setup Utility window.
Step 2: Go to Security, expand the Secure Boot Control menu and ensure the secure boot option is disabled.
Step 3: Save and exit the tab, then restart your PC and wait for it to load Aptio Utility settings once again.
Step 4: Navigate to the Boot tab, disable these two options – Secure Boot and Fast Boot.
Step 5: Besides, enable CSM (Compatible Support Module).
Step 6: Save the change and restart the Asus computer. It should boot to the Windows operating system instead of Aptio Setup Utility.
With Covid-19 persisting into ‘21, and this fall marking the second anniversary of our new lives, this mutant strain of “science denialism” has become its own pandemic—one that leaves us in denial about our ability to implement change.
System-wide configuration of the Debian X session consists mainly of options inside the /etc/X11/Xsession.options file, and scripts inside the /etc/X11/Xsession.d directory. These scripts are all dotted in by a single /bin/sh shell, in the order determined by sorting their names. Administrators may edit the scripts, though caution is advised if you are not comfortable with shell programming.
Selon moi, les tiers-lieux sont le visage de la France de l’après-Covid. A côté des grandes ETI, il y a cette économie territoriale qui renaît dans l’hyperproximité. Cela émergeait déjà auparavant : la transition numérique, écologique, la profonde remise en question de notre rapport au travail n’ont pas attendu la pandémie pour émerger comme une priorité, mais ces lieux apparaissent désormais de plus en plus comme le précipité de ces transitions…
Selon nos estimations, le territoire français comptera a minima environ 3500 tiers lieux en 2022, contre 1800 en 2018. Et je pense que l’exode des urbains qu’on observe déjà va renforcer cette dynamique. Ce qui est évident, c’est que les nouvelles générations bouleversent déjà le rapport au travail, elles réclament un meilleur équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie perso…

Espaces de coworking pour allergiques au travail en solitaire, fabriques numériques, friches culturelles, mais aussi ateliers, cuisines ou jardins partagés… Encore méconnus du grand public, les «tiers lieux» ne pèsent pas bien lourd sur le papier : en 2021, on en comptait 2 500 en France et 150 000 personnes y travaillaient comme indépendants ou salariés de microentreprises pour un chiffre d’affaires cumulé d’environ 250 millions d’euros. Mais dans les métropoles comme dans des communes plus modestes, sur le terrain associatif et entrepreneurial, ces laboratoires de l’innovation laborieuse, technologique et sociale s’épanouissent «comme 100 fleurs», à en croire Patrick Levy-Waitz qui en paraphraserait presque Mao. Le président de l’association France tiers lieux et de la Fondation travailler autrement doit remettre ce vendredi à Jean Castex un rapport intitulé «Tiers lieux, nos territoires en action».
Ce n’est pas tous les jours que l’on voit un nouveau fablab pousser dans le département de l’Ariège. Or il en existe un peu partout, c’est une certitude. Cependant, celui-ci permet d’apporter encore plus de dynamisme au sein de ce village du Haut-Couserans. Oust se retrouve ainsi propulsé à la pointe de l’innovation 3D. Ce qui est un plus indéniable pour ce territoire de moyenne montagne situé au cœur du Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Ariégeoises.
A priori, on pourrait croire que les impressions 3D sont abstraites. Mais en réalité, elles aident un bon nombre de d’entrepreneurs, artisans et artistes. Plusieurs projets sont menés par le fablab d’Oust, et d’autres prendront assurément corps.
