How did D.C. do after first week of school? Cannot tell based on Washington Post report
September 8, 2020 September 8, 2020 mlerner10 Covid-19, DCPS
Last Sunday, the Washington Post's Perry Stein wrote an article purported to illustrate what parents, students, and teachers experienced during the first week of the new school year in the District of Columbia. She began:
"One week into the academic year, the District's school system is still struggling to meet its projected enrollment numbers and to deliver technology to some of its hardest-to-reach students. But teachers and parents also say that each day, remote learning in the nation's capital is improving. Technology troubles are becoming less frequent, more students are showing up to virtual classes, and everyone is becoming more adept at using unfamiliar computer platforms."
The only problem with her claims is that the lengthy report did not mention one charter school by name. In fact, readers would have no idea that there was another public school sector that teaches 46 percent of all pupils in the city. On this particular day, she left out the accounts of 43,485 students. It is as if the newspaper went back in time to 1995, the year before the first charter opened here. In paragraph seven she even wrote, "D.C. Public Schools educate about 52,000 students." The total of all those attending public schools is actually approaching one hundred thousand.
In a way, the story did remind me of twenty-five years ago when the traditional schools were crumbling physically and characterized by the frequent absence of professional instruction. Ms. Perry stated that the regular schools were not quite ready for school to start:
"The city's biggest technological setback has come at the early-childhood level. The school system had wrongly predicted it would be able to get the youngest learners into school buildings a few days a week and did not plan to have virtual learning for them. When officials learned that school would be all virtual in late July, they ordered iPads for thousands of students, which have not yet arrived. They plan to distribute them in mid-September, with many prekindergarten students starting the school year with paper packets.
'We placed the order later than we did the other technology,' Deputy Mayor for Education Paul Kihn told residents at the town hall. 'That is a problem of procurement.'"
Really? I'm sorry, this was not a "problem of procurement." It was a failure of planning. Since last spring, chances were never good that kids would be able to return to classrooms like before the pandemic hit. Allow me to remind you that it was before the advent of charters that children in DCPS often started the school year off without textbooks. This was one of the first things that Michelle Rhee corrected when she rode into our city.
There was one area of her article in which charter schools were referenced, but it was in an oblique way. The only teacher interviewed was Liz Koenig, who is identified as a "prekindergarten teacher at LaSalle-Backus Education Campus in Northeast Washington." Ms. Koenig is known for teaming up with anti-charter school freelance writer Rachel Cohen in attacking the movement, specifically detailing her dismissal from Bridges PCS. This was the best source that Ms. Perry could find?
I will guarantee you that the first week was much different regarding charters. Technology issues aside, I am sure that each was ready to go on day one. But how would we know for sure? The education reporter for the Washington Post is pretending that we are living in a community in which school reform never happened.

El comtat de Zülpich fou una jurisdicció feudal del Sacre Imperi Romanogermànic a la regió de la Ripuària (la regió del Rin). En la partició de territoris entre Germània i França el 8 d'agost del 870 els cinc comtats de Ripuària (Zülpich, Jülich, Eifel, Bonn o Colònia) van quedar per Lluís el Germànic. La capital era Tulpiac o Tolbiac i el territori el pagus Tulpiacensis o Tolbiacensis del que deriva el nom alemany de Zülpich.

Eberard comte de Bonn no apareix com a comte de Zukpich però si que ho fa el seu fill Erenfred i sembla probable que el comtat ja hagués estat assignat al pare. Fou també comte de Bonn (vers 940-970) i com a comte de Hattuaria, de Tubalgo i de Ruhr-Keldachgau). Com a comte de Zülpich s'esmenta en carta de 24 de gener del 942; com a comte de Bonn en carta del 945 i donació del 15 de gener del [947]; com a comte de Hattuaria en donació del 4 de maig del 947; com a comte de Tubalgo en una confirmació de privilegis d'Otó I del 4 d'agost del 947; i com a comte de Rihr-Keldachgau en carta del 950.

Després apareix Werner que devia ser comte vers 953 quan apareix en una carta de l'arquebisbe de Colònia, Brunó, d'aquest any confirmant un canvi de territoris entre el comte Warner i l'abat de Stavelot; fou també comte d'Hesbaye (més concretament d'una part d'Hesbaye, potser a Lovaina) que abans havia estat d'Immo i al que li havia estat confiscat per la seva revolta vers 958; l'emperador Otó I li concedia alguns territoris en carta de 17 de gener del 966. El 973 Renald fou nomenat comte d'Hainaut quan van retornar Reyner i el seu germà Lambert, fills de Renyer III de Baixa Lotaríngia, i Warner de Zülpich i Haspengouw, que era el seu germà, fou enviat en el seu ajut, però Renald i Warner van morir en la batalla de Peronne el 973.

El següent i darrer comte de Zülpich conegut, al segle següent, fou Brunó de Heimbach que apareix en carta del 1063, casat amb Matilde filla de Widric I de Clermont/Condroz i possible germana o germanastre d'Ermengarda de Montaigu.

Al segle XIV hi havia diversos petits comtats i senyories a la zona i una part pertanyia a Jülich.

 Eberard vers 940
 Erenfred vers 940-953

Senator Klobuchar joins Democratic presidential field
February 10, 2019 by admin 0 Comments
(Reuters) – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar entered the 2020 presidential race on Sunday, becoming the first moderate in an increasingly crowded field of Democrats vying to challenge Republican President Donald Trump.

Klobuchar, 58, now in her third six-year term as a senator for Minnesota, will seek to position herself as a contrast to Trump, who is expected to be the Republican candidate in the November 2020 election, focusing on both policy differences but also style and tact.
"I stand before you as the granddaughter of an iron ore miner, the daughter of a teacher and a newspaperman, the first woman elected to the United States Senate from the state of Minnesota, to announce my candidacy for president of the United States," Klobuchar said.
A large crowd assembled in Minnesota on an island in the middle of the Mississippi River, despite a heavy snowfall and 14 degree Fahrenheit (minus 10 Celsius) temperatures.
Klobuchar's announcement came amid several news reports of high staff turnover in her Senate office with workers complaining of having to do personal chores, making it difficult to hire high-level campaign strategists.
A former prosecutor and corporate attorney, Klobuchar joins a list of Democratic hopefuls that includes fellow Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
Warren heads to Iowa to campaign on Sunday after formally launching her bid on Saturday. Booker is also spending the weekend in the Midwestern farm state.
Klobuchar gained national attention in 2018 when she sparred with Brett Kavanaugh during Senate hearings on his Supreme Court nomination. Her questions earned her recognition in Democratic circles for working to advance the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and assault.
But the senator will have work to do to build a national profile. She barely registers in early opinion polls of potential Democratic candidates.
Klobuchar won her most recent Senate race in November with more than 60 percent of the vote.
But she raised only about $7.4 million, a relatively small amount compared with Senate candidates in more competitive races. By comparison, Warren raised $35 million in the same period.
Klobuchar hopes her moderate policies and strong electoral record in Minnesota will help her win back states Trump took from Democrats in the 2016 White House contest, including nearby Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, Wisconsin, as well as Pennsylvania.
Klobuchar was the first 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful to use her launch speech to vow action on digital issues like privacy, saying "big tech companies" are misusing personal data.
"Our laws need to be as sophisticated as the people who are breaking them," she said. "We must revamp our nation's cybersecurity and guarantee net neutrality."

Klobuchar began her foray into Minnesota politics by advocating for better access to healthcare for babies and new mothers after her own daughter was born with health complications, a personal narrative she is likely to use in the debate about the future of the nation's healthcare system.
Klobuchar endorsed universal healthcare in her announcement speech, an issue that will be heavily debated during the Democratic nominating race.
She said she supports increasing "shared prosperity," adding, "We won't get there if people can't afford their health care and that means getting to universal health care and bringing down the costs of prescription drugs."

Former Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton to be used properly in Atlanta?
Doug Gray
When Billy Hamilton first arrived in Cincinnati back in late 2013 he was a game changer. The Reds called up the 22-year-old speedster and used him off of the bench in September as they fought to make the playoffs.
The presence of Billy Hamilton's speed was felt immediately. In a pitchers duel between Michael Wacha and Homer Bailey, the game was scoreless in the bottom of the 7th inning. The two teams were separated in the standings by 2.5 games in the standings. Ryan Ludwick led off the inning with a single and on came Billy Hamilton to pinch run. The entire world knew that he would be trying to take second base. And sure enough, that's exactly what he did. Hamilton scored on the next play. It was the only run of the game.
The rest of the month was more of the same from the Cincinnati Reds and Billy Hamilton. He played in 13 total games, and only had three starts in the month. He would steal 13 bases and score 9 runs. In six games he entered as a pinch runner and in all six games he stole a base. That was his role. Come into a close game when someone else got on, steal a base, and hope someone could come through with a hit of any kind because he was going to score if that happened.
Despite just 22 total plate appearances in 2013, Billy Hamilton posted a 0.6 WAR (Fangraphs). The reason was rather simple: He had a baserunning value of 3.2 runs. That ranked 54th best in baseball. Out of the 717 players who had at least 10 plate appearances. His baserunning was THAT impactful.
But following the 2013 season Shin-Soo Choo left in free agency and Billy Hamilton took over the role in center field as the every day option. What he did in that role was provide some of the best defense in baseball. And he continued to be outstanding on the base paths. But he also was among the absolute worst hitters in baseball. Much of the value his glove and speed on the bases brought was negated by the fact that he was so poor with the bat. His 6-year stretch with the Reds led to a .245/.298/.333 line – good for a 70 OPS+ (100 is league average).
After the 2018 season the Reds chose to non-tender Hamilton, allowing him to become a free agent. The Royals picked him up on a big league deal and brought him on as their starting center fielder. He proceeded to have the worst offensive year of his career, hitting just .211/.275/.269. Kansas City placed him on waivers and on Monday he was claimed by the Braves.
Atlanta is currently 74-52 and 5.5 games up on the Nationals and 9 games up on "being out of the playoffs". While it's not impossible that they would miss out on making the playoffs, Fangraphs has their chances of making the playoffs at 99.6%. The risk of missing out is very small. So they decided to take a chance on Billy Hamilton as the 25th player on their bench.
Their plan is simple, and it's one that has been talked about for years when it comes to Billy Hamilton: They are only going to use him as a pinch runner and defensive replacement. They have no plans to give him at-bats. This plan is to utilize his strengths and to minimize his weakness.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. We got a glimpse of it seven years ago in Cincinnati. Now the Braves are going to give it a shot.

Doug Gray 08/20/2019
Sabo-metrics 08/20/2019
Hamilton could have been an everyday player if the Reds staff hadn't asked him to bunt and hit groundballs. He never had the encouragement to develop as an actual hitter. Best defensive CF I've ever seen.
Ed 08/20/2019
I'm not smart but why ask someone that isn't a strong hitter to learn how to hit from both sides of the plate?
Aaron B. 08/20/2019
Funny enough the Royals already had a guy that provided what Billy does, his name is Terrance Gore… lol… I wouldn't mind the Reds signing a guy like this, a speedster in a pinch that could play CF prob slips under the radar since he is listed as LF.
wutinthehail 08/20/2019
I never understood his usage with the Reds other than they overvalued his glove. You have this guy that was the biggest threat in baseball when he is on base but he can't get on base. However, you can put him on your bench and make sure he gets on base at least once in every game in which you need him to get on base (which could be every game if you choose) in the best situation determined by you (Reds field management). When it gets to the point of the game where you need a good glove you can put him in the game as well.
His very specific set of skills were valuable in late game high leverage situations which the Reds could fully exploit but Billy Hamilton could not exploit on his own.
That being said, his base running skills are on the decline (every year since 2015) so he is not long for the league anyway.
Redgoggles 08/20/2019
He is another cautionary tale of bringing up a prospect too soon, triggering his arbitration years that outpaced his development. Or perhaps they determined he was a one trick pony early on, and maxed out his speed years?
Billy should help out, Braves have been playing without a true center fielder all season.

Ca l antic  és un conjunt residencial rural de Gallecs (Mollet del Vallès, Vallès Oriental) format per tres masies: Ca l'Andreu, Cal farra i Ca l antic  o Can Fornaguera.

Descripció
Les tres masies estan relacionades entre elles de manera diversa i complexa, amb cossos annexes i patis. Ca l'Andreu està adossada a la masia de Cal Ferrat i al pati de Ca l'Antich. L'obra és de paredat comú, els sostres són de bigues i cabirons de fusta, la teulada és de teula àrab. L'ús original del conjunt és residencial amb dependències pel treball del camp. Està ocupat però deslligat sensiblement de l'activitat agrícola. Presenta una manca de manteniment a causa de la pèrdua de l'activitat principal.

Història
A la llinda de fusta de la planta pis de Ca l'Andreu hi ha escrita la data 1744. Sobre l'arc rebaixat del portal d'accés al magatzem de Ca l'Andreu hi ha la data 1882.
El valor fonamental del conjunt no és tant per l'arquitectura o tipologia de cada un dels edificis individualment entesos, sinó per la complexitat i riquesa de les seves relacions que el converteixen en un dels espais més rics de la història rural de Gallecs. Podria formar part de les construccions d'equipament del futur Parc Natural de Gallecs, ja que té el valor afegit de pertànyer a un àmbit natural.

El Pla Especial de Protecció del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Mollet del Vallès, aprovat provisionalment el 1984, l'incorporava com un element a protegir. Està declarat com a bé cultural d'interès local des del 24 de febrer de 2000.

A Swedish restaurant set in an isolated rural location has once again been named among the best in the world, after a British food organization presented its prestigious top 50 restaurants of the year.
Chef Magnus Nilsson's eatery Fäviken Magasinet in Järpen claimed the 41st spot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, which was presented at a gala in New York on Monday evening. The list is compiled by a group of nearly one thousand leading figures in the international restaurant industry.
The Viking #chef Magnus Nilsson's @Faviken in #Sweden is No.41 in #Worlds50Best 2016.
The title of best in the world was given to Osteria Francescana from Modena, Italy, which leapfrogged last year's victor El Celler de Can Roca from Catalonia, Spain into top spot. The best in the Nordic countries was Noma in Copenhagen, which placed fifth. Denmark also saw two further establishments, Geranium (28) and Relæ (40) place in the top 50, with both hailing from the Danish capital.
Fäviken meanwhile slipped down from the 25th spot it achieved in last year's edition of the World's 50 Best. It is however now the only Swedish restaurant present in the top 50, which is the 14th instalment of the ranking.
It has been a good year for 32-year-old chef Nilsson and his Järpen establishment. In February, his eatery became the first in Sweden outside of the capital city to be awarded two Michelin stars. Located near the Åre ski resort in Jämtland, more than 600 kilometres north of Stockholm, Fäviken is often billed as the world's most isolated restaurant.
Serving food that is largely locally sourced, grown or caught by Nilsson's team, dishes include a raw cow's heart with marrow, and wild trout roe in dried pig's blood. The World's 50 Best list describes Fäviken's fare as "unique Scandinavian cuisine that's worth the pilgrimage".


This year we have enlisted the help of our very own VIVA Dog, Gigi, to help us decide which gifts are on this year's doggy hot list.
From dog beds to toys and chews, Gigi has reviewed and paw-picked the best canine products on the market.
Engineered by the same team behind the Casper mattress, this durable dog bed is a perfect sleep environment designed around dog behaviour. With over 11 months of dog studies and 460 hours of lab testing, this is scientifically, the best dog bed on the market!
Gigi loves her Casper bed, so much so we can't her out of it in the morning! Plus it even comes with a Casper doggy waffle that she loves throwing around the house before bed.
This Pawsecco gift set contains two bottles of "still wine" (don't worry it's both alcohol and grape free) and suitable for both cats and dogs.
The perfect gift for the pampered pooch, and Gigi is no exception. She loves it poured over her favourite food for a little extra flavour.
Gigi is over the moon with her personalised story book. The perfect bedtime story that follows our very own VIVA dog as she discovers a glamorous world of doggy fame and fortune. This is the perfect sentimental gift for any owner.
This dog shampoo is a safe and effective shampoo for every pooch; blending natural botanicals with hydrating amino acids, it gently cleanses without drying, stripping or irritating the skin.
So how did Gigi get on? Well, she did not love her bath; however, she did love the way she felt afterwards. Plus, she smelled phenomenal! Gigi's fur was supersoft and fluffy, she's never looked better!
PLUS, in partnership with BATTERSEA DOGS & CATS HOME, for every bottle of dog shampoo sold MALIN+GOETZ will donate £2 to the charity.
The ultimate detangling brush, this PetAngel grooming brush is essentially a tangle angel for dogs.
Gigi never used to like being brushed, but with the PetAngel Mini she really couldn't get enough. By the time she had been brushed she looked as though she had stepped straight out of the groomers! We cannot recommend enough.
The perfect present for the ultimate festive fur-ball. The Highlands Bed™ by Ruffwear® is ideal for the dog who likes to be involved in all family activities, including taking a rest after an adventurous hike.
Unfortunately, being the VIVA Diva, Gigi does not like getting her paws dirty. However, this portable dog bed is the perfect protector to keep her paws clean and her belly dirt free in the great outdoors.
As one of the most important members of the VIVA family, Gigi does not like to be left out. This year she was front and centre when it came to decorating the Christmas tree. Her contribution was a personalised bauble, handmade and filled with gold confetti.
These treats come vet recommended and promote good canine dental hygiene, occupy and entertain, discourage destructive chewing and even reduce stress. Gigi absolutely adored these treats, and they are the perfect distraction to keep her entertained when she's at home.
Gigi could not wait to get into her very own Christmas cracker. Filled with delicious doggy biscuits that Gigi reluctantly shared with her doggy friends, this personalised cracker made Gigi feel very special.
Chuckit! performance toys are designed to take interaction to the next level. There really is something for everyone, there are toys to suit every size dog. They really are the perfect outdoor accessory, the glow in the dark ball really comes in useful for late night walks, Gigi loves chasing hers around the park. Furthermore, every toy is extremely hardwearing so you won't have to worry about these toys being ripped to shreds.
This personalised dog stocking includes two tasty treats and a chew toy. Gigi loved her Turkey and Cranberry chomping chews! The full Webbox range is available in a wide range of stockists.
The Christmas Dinner Treat Tube combines a blend of turkey, parsnips, stuffing, peas and gravy for a delicious authentic festive flavour. These treats certainly got the Gigi seal of pawproval.
Pooch & Mutt is available in Amazon, Ocado, Waitrose, Pets At Home and other independent retailers.

Local artist and naturalist Heather Griffin will facilitate a series of interactive Children's Workshops at Bainbridge Island's Bloedel Reserve on July 9th, 10th, and 11th. The workshops, on Papermaking, Bookbinding, and Nature Mandalas, will be divided into two classes each day: one for children 6-8 and the other for children 9-12.
Prentice Bloedel has said that the stated purpose of the Bloedel Reserve is to provide "a place to experience the bond between people and nature." In this podcast Heather Griffin explains how the children's workshops reflect Bloedel's philosophy to BCB host Lyssa Danehy deHart.
Griffin also describes the specific activities and how each will help children connect art and nature. Youthful participants in the Bloedel workshops will learn creative ways to respond to the natural world while at the same time having fun exploring the Reserve's amazing environment.


MBR is a grass-root initiative aimed at providing an opportunity for all schools to participate. Schools that subscribe to MBR for all students will be listed as Partner Schools in MBR. The partner schools will receive a 50 percent discount on the journal's price when they subscribe for students and other constituents, including their faculty, alumni, and affiliated business community. They will also receive a similar discount on their advertisements in the journal.
Upon request, MBR may be customized to the requirements of a partner school for its constituents (affiliated business community, alumni, students, and faculty). For example, for the XYZ School of Management, MBR will have a banner headline on the front cover: "The XYZ School of Management Edition." If the school wishes, it can add supplementary material for its constituents.


Another competition completed, Tomscat Trophy 2015. Videos have already been uploaded on our FB site. We hope you enjoyed them. Thunder ISR traditionally participates in this competition, it's always good to have an opportunity to perform at a meet and see how we score. In general the jumps went rather well although as always we could keep everything much smaller. We know what we need to do for the next competitions, we need to work on 'smaller', less 'sticky', and 'faster'. That's where probably the focus of our training will be on in coming months, outside and in the tunnel.
We were close to become a member of the all 20+ outdoor club, however unfortunately round 5 with block 14 and 1 proved to be too slow for us to achieve this goal. Although we didn't jump round 10 we would have definitely scored 20+ on that jump. We scored a 22.1 average, which probably would have been higher if we would have completed round 10. We now know we're comfortably scoring 22+, so our current goal of 23+ will become in reach. Not bad for a bunch of weekend warriors.
Apart from the 4way performance, Grim had a great competition as well. Lately Grim has really improved his performance, spot-on exits, and turning with blocks to ensure judge-ability, and in this competition it really paid off. For his great camerawork, not only for Thunder ISR but also for team Gravity Abuse, Grim was awarded best cameramen of the competition.
The organization of the meet was again great, we had enough capacity, judging went smooth and timely (scoring completed quickly after the round, as Kurt has always advocated). We had the fasted jump plane of The Netherlands available.
Traditionally, following the completion of the competition Jos Arkes explained to especially the newcomers the history of the Tomscat Trophy which commemorates Remie Herder and Sjaak Strating who died in a jump plane crash in 1992.
Thunder ISR was requested to select one of the participating teams to be awarded the annual Stimulation Price. The team's performance, effort, fun, attitude and ambition are important drivers for the selection of the team. But also how the team makes use of the available resources and time is an important selection criteria. Just before we were getting to intoxicated we carefully watched the jumps of many of the eligible team and selected Rookie class team Heartbeat. The stimulation price includes 30 minutes of free tunnel time offered by Indoor Skydive Roosendaal. Our team decided to provide free coaching on top of it.
We would like to thank the organization and other teams for a great competition. Please enjoy the video's. Like always, please contact Paul for tunnel coaching. A number of tunnel camps have already been scheduled. Our strong advice to all teams, consider scheduling 2on2-coaching with us, it is a fast way to improve your team's performance.

The Atlas Tough Equestrian gloves are tough and contour closely to your hands like a second skin.
I have been buying them for years. They are great hand-savers, and they last a long time. I use them for grooming, protecting my hands when using the stall fork or a shovel, and most other work chores. I use something thicker for loading hay, though these are fine for moving a bale or two at feeding time. They don't take up much room in my pocket, so I just keep them in the jeans I work in. These days I ride Western, and I don't think they would make good Western riding gloves because they do not let the reins slip. They are great for weeding and digging in the garden, and also for handling dirt chunks when putting in fence posts or digging out the little drainage channels.
Doesn't grip to my tack very well!
I was using some Heritage gloves before, I saw these and thought I should try them because of their price. They aren't very comfortable and they are too long, they go way past the wrist. Don't recommend for anyone.
Good gloves. Fit well enough I can actually do things without removing them. I've not had them a long time so don't know about length of wearability, but overall, so far, these are great.
I just got my second pair. The first pair lasted almost three years without wearing at all with almost daily use. Finally got cracks in them in the snow weather (probably would have lasted longer if I hadn't kept them on the porch. We get really hot and cold here) this winter. I have small hands and the small gloves fit REALLY well. Old gloves are now my hoof trimming gloves and the new ones are inside. Can't go wrong here.
These gloves are great! Our other gloves are just sitting in a heap gathering dust. These gloves keep your hands clean and dry. They're flexible and they fit really well, so they don't get in the way at all. We've worn them from spring until fall doing yard work and they don't show any signs of wear. We highly recommend them!
What size is it in? Men or women?
I ordered a small & I have med. hands for a woman & they fit fine, so I think they are mens.
BEST ANSWER: No. the back is a woven fabric that lets in water, and also allows much more cooling than leather or a waterproof glove. The palms feel fine to me even when they are wet, but of course in winter they are a bit cold when wet. They do dry overnight. I use them for grooming and gardening. They are extremely grippy for riding, much more so than leather, but the feel on the reins does not change when they are wet.
Not entirely. The fingers and palms are somewhat waterproof but the back of the hand is just spandex. However, I love these gloves and buy lots of them. They are great. They have a very snug fit that allows for greater dexterity; you can pick up anything, open bottles, take lids off things without having to take your gloves off.

Editors' Picks, Features
Design Focus: The Mill House, Stewarton
The Mill House, Ayrshire-based group Buzzworks latest venue, is situated on a corner, and its blonde sandstone exterior with its twinkling lights is very welcoming. It has been a great addition to the neighbourhood, with locals giving it a well-deserved thumbs up.
Says Kenny Blair of Buzzworks, "The reason we invested in the Mill House was really because Stewarton kept popping up in conversation with existing customers saying how great it would be if we brought our kind of business to the area. The conversations became frequent enough to warrant an investigation and when the Mill House became available we did some further research, plugged a few figures into a spreadsheet, completely ignored them and then went totally with our gut feel!"
As you come through the glass doors you can guess that you are in for a warm welcome, not least because the Buzzworks crew has learned that heating above the door is essential. The entrance itself, a square glass porch with large statement candles in foliage-covered cages, sets the scene.
Once into the venue, the bar is the immediate focal point. Unusually it has a very deep stained wood bar top, sitting upon a slightly angled bar, clad with tiny wee white hexagon tiles which turn into black 12 rows from the foot of the bar. The bar also boasts a built in cake display area, immediately below the bar top which boasts an array of fabulous looking cakes.
The roof is quite low in this area and is clad in wood as are the walls. It gives a whole new meaning to wood panelling – this venue boasts, at least, five different wood panelling effects but it has all been stained an off white colour. In fact off-white stained wood has not only been used on the walls, but for all the table tops too. It's very American-New Hampshire in style.
The back bar features substantial wooden shelving – with a glass-back. The solid part of the back bar features a tiled wall (tiled with the same small hexagon tiles) and a round mesh steel artistic looking display. Above the bar runs a stainless steel glass rack. The lighting in this area comes from subtle inset spot lights, expertly angled, providing the right level of light to create the correct ambience.
Immediately opposite the bar are four small booths ideal for two people although, at a squeeze, they can take four. The grey leather fitted seating complements the grey patterned tiles on the floor immediately adjacent to the bar, although, in the main, the rest of the flooring throughout is stained pale grey wood. The craftsmen at Transition Interiors were obviously very busy here.
If you turned right as you came in you would have turned into a small dining area with two large rectangular booths with beige leather upholstery. The walls here are exposed stone, and the booths are ideal for family groups. There are also some small tables along the opposite wall.
Beside the bar, a couple of stairs takes you down into a cosy and intimate area, with a low ceiling. It boasts four semi -circular booths, upholstered in deep red. The area looks bigger because designer, Jim Hamilton, has used mirrored glass very effectively. It not only makes this area look bigger, but the back bar display is reflected in the mirrors too. It is certainly the place to dine if you want a bit more privacy, and a further romantic touch is provided by a row of coat hooks decorated with small wooden love hearts.
The main dining area in The Mill House is at the far end of the bar. The ceiling here is certainly not low, in fact, you see right up to the rafters which have been stained white and adorned with round bauble-like reflective lights – about 28 in total. Although they hang above the tables they are so high that there is no fear of bumping your head.
These walls too are mainly clad with wood. Behind the fitted seating which stretches the length of the room, the walls have a shutter-like appearance, and the wall behind the banquette has a couple of small windows with deep ledges and bespoke round candle cages. The fixed seating is a light grey/beige colour, in a smooth fabric which contrasts with the cable knit cushions that adorn it. The individual chairs are square-like and studded with a shimmery beige linen look.
The tables tops as I have already mentioned are all off-white stained wood but they sit on sturdy wrought iron pedestals. The focal point in this area is the fireplace which boasts a grate filled with wood logs and lots of burning candles. It's a modern looking blonde fireplace with a light wooden plinth across the top on which rests a large square antique – effect glass mirror – the entire room is reflected in it.
The warmth is added by three substantial semi-circular booths which are the same rich red colour as the dining area behind the bar. Above each booth, which boasts a round table, there is a flat round brass light and immediately behind these booths, there is a private dining area which is split from the rest of the restaurant area by an almost transparent light grey curtain and a chain room divider.
The private dining area boasts a mammoth rectangle table and the lighting arrangement which hangs above it really is a piece art – it certainly draws the eye. This area also benefits from natural light in the shape of four small windows, which have diagonal patterned glass offering a bit of privacy from the outside pavement. This area also looks a lot larger due to the clever use of distressed mirrored tiles.
To the right of the restaurant is the open kitchen, and if you were in any doubt that it was a kitchen the display of wee pots and pans (without the handles) on the wall above it will leave you in no doubt. Immediately in front of the kitchen is a bespoke shelving unit which boasts an array of wine, and hanging champagne glasses. It has a mirror front and is slightly angled – it"s almost like a modern version of a French dresser, and the angle complements the angle of the bar. I'm not sure whether this is a practical addition or an aesthetic one!
You can enter the public bar from the main Mill House through a door in the area behind the bar, a few steps take you down into an area which has a completely different feel. Colin Blair comments, "This is my take on how a modern pub should look like." The sympathetic refurbishment is designed to encourage its traditional regulars back. The bar top has remained the same, and sweeps round in an almost semi circular fashion. Exposed stone walls have been refreshed and complemented with dark green leather fixed seating and chairs. The bar stools have also been upholstered in the same dark green leather. The seating compliments the dark grey/green wood panelling which has been used throughout. It offers customers craft beer specials and has TV's for sport with the added touches of candles and decorative window dressings. The bar also offers food although there is no table service, the menu is the same throughout the whole venue.
The Mill House certainly gives you a whole new take of the idea of a neighbourhood bar. It's modern, yet cosy, contemporary and stylish. Buzzworks has definitely lifted (excuse the pun) the bar… It certainly was a risk investing this sort of cash in what really is a large village, but they have proved style and substance can pay off in a local market too!
Says Kenny, "We also have plans to expand out of Ayrshire and although Stewarton is still within the county boundary – it is near the edge of it!"
He concludes, "Business has been very encouraging in the first two months although we are experienced enough not to get carried away with the excitement of a launch. Ask us next November and we will give you a proper report on whether it has been a good move."

Philosophy used to be a field that had content, but then 'natural philosophy' became physics, and physics has only continued to make inroads. Every time there's a leap in physics, it encroaches on these areas that philosophers have carefully sequestered away to themselves, and so then you have this natural resentment on the part of philosophers.

The newest addition to the Boron III X family of rods is one we at the shop are rather proud of as Tim Tollett himself had a hand in the development of this series. Tim is a staunch proponent of fishing 9'6" and 10' rods due to the better line control they offer compared to 9' and shorter rods. The team at Winston are practically our family (they're just 28 minutes down the road from us), so it was only fitting that the two teamed up to develop the Super 10 series.
The Super 10 is purpose built for and excels at high-stick and European nymphing techniques where the angler feels the bottom of the river and the subtle strikes of trout without an indicator. The medium action and supple tip makes for a highly sensitive rod that will allow you to feel the most subtle takes, while the 10' length allows for maximum line and leader control. The extended reel seat provides balance to keep your arm comfortable when high-sticking all day.
While designed for specific nymphing techniques, the Super 10 also performs wonderfully as a dry fly and streamer rod.
All Super 10's come with an Unconditional Lifetime Warranty and a stylish, lightweight, graphite tube. All rods are 4-piece and proudly handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana.


Why isn't relay mode enabled by defaullt?
read through as much information as I could, as I thinking about an implementation involving TOR.
One thing stands out, and you must have a reason, why isn't relay mode enabled by default and then you disable it? as I see TOR has a number of similarities with torrent p2p. the different is onion routing and that resources aren't fair (you get as much as you give). can't see a reason why relay mode couldn't be default on, so any newbie users would increase speed and strength, but if there was a specific reason to disable it then people could.
think of it like this, in England there is too few people doing organ donation, as people are lazy and selfish, so it has been proposed / changed that it's opt out not opt in... problem solved. suddenly the deficit (lazy people, the majority) are not a benefit!
Can't think of a security reason against it... could you explain?


During the 53rd Second Regular Legislative Session, the budget was passed with language requiring charters to meet the financial performance expectations set forth in the performance framework. This provision gave the Board the authority to take action against a charter it sponsors based on its Financial Performance Framework. The Board therefore must update its current financial framework and adopt rule and policy to which the Board can use for accountability purposes.
The Board has seated a Financial Framework Subcommittee with the goal of reviewing and updating its Financial Performance Framework in light of this additional accountability. This subcommittee seeks out input from the public in their process of providing a well thought out recommendation to the Board.
All subcommittee meetings are subject to open meeting law, and meeting notices are posted at least 24 hours in advance on our "Meeting Dates & Materials" page.

At some point, when learning how to use Swift's type system, it is important to understand that Swift (like many other languages) has two different forms of type checking: static and dynamic. Today I want to briefly discuss the difference between them and why headaches might arise when we try to combine them.
Static type checking occurs at compile time and dynamic type checking happens at run time. Each of these two stages come with a different, partially incompatible, toolset.
Compile time type checking (or static type checking) operates on the Swift source code. The Swift compiler looks at explicitly stated and inferred types and ensures correctness of our type constraints.
let text: String = ""
Based on the source code the type checker can decide that text is not of type Int - therefore it will raise a compile error.
In this example, again, all of the type checking occurs at compile time, solely based on the source code. The swift compiler can verify which function calls provide arguments that match the generic constraints of the printHumanName function; and for ones that don't it can emit a compile error.
Since Swift's static type system offers these powerful tools we try to verify as much as possible at compile time. However, in same cases run time type verification is necessary.
In some unfortunate cases relying on static type checking is not possible. The most common example is reading data from an outside resource (network, database, etc.). In such cases the data and thus the type information is not part of the source code, therefore we cannot prove to the static type checker that our data has a specific type (since the static type checker can only operate on type information it can extract from our source code).
This means instead of being able to define a type statically, we need to verify a type dynamically at run time.
When checking types at run time we rely on the type metadata stored within the memory of all Swift instances). The only tools we have available at this stage are the is and as keywords that use that metadata to confirm whether or not the instance is of a certain type or conforms to a certain protocol.
This is what all the different Swift JSON mapping libraries do - they provide a convenient API for dynamically casting an unknown type to one that matches the type of a specified variable.
All we need to do in order to call the function with unknownData is to cast it to the argument type of the function.
Continuing the earlier printHumanName example, let's assume we have received data from a network request, and we need to call the printHumanName method - if the dynamically detected type allows us to do that.
The dynamic type check in the above example actually works correctly. The body of the if let block is only executed for types that conform to our two expected protocols. However, we cannot convey this to the compiler. The compiler expects a concrete type (one that has a fully specified type at compile time) that conforms to HumanType and HasName. All we can offer is a dynamically verified type.
As of Swift 2.2, there is no way to get this to compile. At the end of this post I will briefly touch on which changes to Swift would likely be necessary to make this approach work.
For now, we need a workaround.
Not beautiful; but it might the best possible solution in some cases.
In this second solution we have substituted the compile time constraints for a run time check. We cast the Any type to HasName, that allows us to access the relevant information for printing a name, and we include an is check to verify that the type is one that conforms to HumanType. We have established a dynamic type check that is equivalent to our generic constraint.
This way we have offered a second implementation that will run code dynamically, if an arbitrary type matches our protocol requirements. In practice I would extract the actual functionality of this function into a third function that gets called from both printHumanName and _printHumanName - that way we can avoid duplicate code.
The solution of the "type erased" function that accept an Any argument isn't really nice either; but in practice I have used similar approaches in cases where other code guarantees that the function will be called with the correct type, but there wasn't a way of expressing that within Swift's type system.
We cannot cast a an argument dynamically, in order call a function that has generic constraints.
I know too little about the Swift compiler to know if this is feasible at all. I would assume that the relative cost of implementing this is huge, compared to the benefits it would provide to a very small part of the average Swift codebase.
However, according to this Stack Overflow answer by David Smith, Swift currently checks generic constraints at run time (unless the compiler generates specialized copies of a function for performance optimizations). This means the information about generic constraints is still available at run time and, at least in theory, the idea of dynamically created constrained metatypes might be possible.
For now it is helpful to understand the limitations of mixing static and dynamic type checking and to be aware of the possible workarounds.
If you have corrections or general thoughts on this post, I would love to hear from you.
Russ Bishop (in the comments) and Joe Groff (on twitter) pointed out that the idea presented in this post is already being discussed as part of extending Swift's support for generics. The twitter conversation also revealed that all compile time information is available at runtime, too. This opens the door for exciting extensions to Swift's type system in future.
@xenadu02 @benjaminencz Everything in the static type system is in the runtime too. Making it all available's a "simple matter of design"

An ambulance escorted by four motorcycle and several vehicles left the base shortly after and headed to Begin Military Hospital in Saint-Mande (Val-de-Marne), where she arrived about half an hour later, have noted journalists from AFP.
This hospital is equipped specifically "with two negative pressure rooms" precaution designed to prevent any escape of contaminants outside.
This woman, who contracted the disease in Monrovia where she was on a mission, is the first known case of infection among French present in the affected areas in Africa .
"She will be hospitalized in the best conditions," said Thursday afternoon President Francois Hollande during her press conference , paying tribute to the "outstanding work" of MSF.

Re: A French MSF volunteer infected with Ebola virus - transported to France
Infected with Ebola French is in a "stable" condition, according to the president of Doctors Without Borders. The nursing staff is "optimistic" when the evolution of his health.
On his return to France, the nurse was immediately hospitalized at the military hospital Bégin of Saint-Mande (Val-de-Marne).
She received experimental treatments that began during his transfer, according to information provided Friday by the Minister of Health Marisol Touraine, which did not specify the nature of these treatments. Total "15 colleagues" were infected with Ebola, said the president of MSF without elaborating.

Fujifilm Says French Ebola Patient Taking Its Avigan Drug
By Rin Ichino Sep 26, 2014 5:50 AM CT
Fujifilm Corp. (4901) said its influenza medicine Avigan is being given to an Ebola patient at a French hospital along with another experimental drug, the latest treatments to be deployed in a global push to curtail the deadly virus.
The French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety asked for the drug and the female patient has been given the combination since Sept. 19, the Japanese company said in a statement today.
The Fujifilm treatment, also called favipiravir, was discovered by Yousuke Furuta at the Toyama Chemical unit of Tokyo-based Fujifilm in 1998. It targets polymerase, an enzyme viruses use to replicate inside the body, to stop the viruses from spreading.
"We're getting many requests from other countries, international organizations, and medical organizations as well," Takahiro Taguchi, a spokesman at Fujifilm said by phone. As Avigan is originally a flu drug, the company has the capability to produce the drug continuously and deal with a rapid increase in demand, he said. The company has enough stock for 20,000 Ebola patients.
Fujifilm's U.S. partner MediVector Inc. in Boston is in talks with the Food and Drug Administration to submit an application to use the drug in humans for Ebola, a U.S. Department of Defense spokeswoman said in August.

Ebola: French MSF nurse affected by the virus "is better," said Marisol Touraine
By Francetv info with AFP
Updated 28/09/2014 | 9:13 p.m., published on 09.28.2014 | 7:54 p.m.
"She's better, her condition is stable, that is very encouraging." The Health Minister Marisol Touraine gave news of the MSF nurse repatriated to France some ten days ago after contracting the Ebola virus in Liberia. "Even if caution should be exercised as she is still hospitalized," she said, Sunday, Sept. 28 on France Inter.
The first French woman hit by Ebola should benefit from experimental treatments. "I allowed, as soon as her case was known the importation and use of these experimental treatments in France, in hospitals selected as referral hospitals," said Marisol Touraine.
Transferred on September 19th in France, the nurse is currently receiving treatment at the military hospital Bégin of Saint-Mande (Val-de-Marne).
France authorized by ministerial decree the use of three drugs, especially the antiviral Avigan (favipiravir) produced by the Japanese company Toyama Chemical (subsidiary of Fujifilm) originally used against the flu.

MSF nurse infected with Ebola, "we are confident" (Touraine)
By lefigaro.fr with AFP
Updated 30/09/2014 at 19:24
Published on 30/09/2014 at 19:22
The Health Minister Marisol Touraine has declared today being "confident" about the MSF nurse infected with Ebola virus, still hospitalized near Paris but whose "clinical condition has improved significantly." "Her health is improving, she is better and we are confident," said the Minister at the Social Affairs Committee of the National Assembly. "Her clinical condition has improved significantly," Has she said, noting that the young woman repatriated on September 19, had received "several experimental treatments." The nurse is "still hospitalized" at Begin (Val-de-Marne) military hospital in Saint-Mande.
France authorized by ministerial decree the use of three experimental drugs, particularly the antiviral Avigan (favipiravir) produced by the Japanese company Toyama Chemical (subsidiary of Fujifilm) at the origin against the influenza virus.
Last Friday, the manufacturer Avigan said in a statement that the nurse had taken the medicine, information that the French authorities have not confirmed yet.
According to Marisol Touraine, 350 notified cases recalling Ebola have been made to date in France to the French health agency InVS (Institut de Veille Sanitaire). Of these, only ten cases were considered "possible" and were tested. "They were all negative," said the minister. "The risk for Europe is limited and to date, no accidental importation of the virus was observed in the European territory", stressed Ms Touraine.
In Guinea, one of the three most affected by the virus with Liberia and Sierra Leone countries, France is involved in the establishment of a "third Ebola treatment center of more than 50 beds that will be permanently installed at the beginning of November in forest area at Macenta, costing about 50 million euros ", said the minister. The center will be active for nine months. It will be managed by the Red Cross in collaboration with the NGO Doctors without Borders and with "an important support of services of the French state," according to Marisol Touraine.

VUWSA promises to change; Student body wary, have been hurt before
VUWSA President Seamus Brady has produced a set of constitutional amendments to be voted upon in August's Annual General Meeting.
The proposed changes would see a reshuffle of several Executive positions and the movement of voting on Student Represent Council (SRC) motions online.
Notable amendments include a small reduction in the size of the Executive, with the merging of the Campaigns Officer and Activities Officer roles into a Vice-President (Engagement) position.
Brady hopes this "will allow VUWSA to place greater emphasis on improving our level of engagement with students and with the wider community. It will also give the person in that role a clearer structure to work within."
Currently there is a constitutional requirement for at least two SRC meetings to be held during both trimesters one and two. This gives students the opportunity to debate pressing issues affecting them as well as wider society, and vote on motions which provide a (non-binding) direction to the Executive.
However, VUWSA failed to hold any such meetings during trimester one, claiming no students came forward requesting to hold one.
"Of course it was disappointing not having any SCRs in the first trimester. But the constitution allows for substantial compliance and will be rectified by holding more in the second trimester," Brady said.
Should Brady's amendments be adopted, this constitutional requirement would be reduced to a minimum of only one SRC per trimester.
"I am looking forward to the ones we have planned for this trimester and to their potential move online," said Brady. "This will make them more relevant and worthwhile, as more students will be able to participate in them."
The first meeting was held on 29 July, after this magazine went to print, and put forward the motion that VUWSA support the 'Right to Education' campaign in the West Bank, Palestine.
Its outcome, and further detail of the proposed constitutional amendments, will be covered in next week's Salient.
Proposed constitutional amendments include:
• Renaming of Vice-President (Education) position to Vice-President (Academic)
• Removing Vice-President (Administration) and replacing it with a new position of Treasurer
• Removing Activities Officer and Campaigns Officer Executive positions and replacing them with the new position of Vice-President (Engagement)
• Allowing for the voting option of "no confidence" when there are fewer than two candidates standing in the positions of Publications Committee Representative and Student Representative on the University Council
• Moving SRC motion voting online

Meeting a vast range of specifications for custom applications, Amflex Plastics, Inc. manufactures custom flexible plastic hoses in varying sizes, material formulations, and profiles to prioritize the needs of the customer and end user. Unlike other extruders, Amflex provides unique solutions for special and unusual requests with a minimum order requirement. We pride ourselves in completing projects that other manufacturers may reject due to the size, level of difficulty, or lack of time and equipment.
A key component of Amflex' manufacturing process is a two-way discussion between the customer and team, which ensures that their needs are precisely matched with the right hose. Once that step is completed, the profile or profiles are extruded, and assembled with spiral wound technology. These hoses are manufactured with a polyethylene blend that meets all industry requirements, and can be tweaked depending on particular specifications.
A combination hose from two profiles: one flexible and one rigid.
A hose that expands to three times its original length, providing savings on shipping costs.
Tapered hoses with decreasing diameters, creating higher pressure at the hose end.

Well, thank goodness that's over. I don't imagine too many of us will miss 2009 and the economic misery it brought. I don't pretend to understand all the financial sleight-of-hand that briefly enriched a few before impoverishing many. But while mulling all this over recently, it occurred to me that the Wall Street investors who created and purchased those monstrosities actually didn't understand them any better than I did. That may explain in part why the deals imploded the way they did. It was three-card monte taken to the extreme.
In a marvelous new book called Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? author Michael J. Sandel reflects at one point on Wall Street executives who defended their enormous bonuses in the face of their enormous failure by arguing that the recession was caused by forces well beyond their control. Sandel then asks the pertinent follow-up question: "If big systemic economic forces account for the disastrous losses of 2008 and 2009, couldn't it be argued that they also account for the dazzling gains of earlier years?" In other words, if, by the financial executives' own argument, they don't deserve to be penalized in bad times, then they can't exactly take credit for the good times either. "Surely the end of the Cold War, the globalization of trade and capital markets, the rise of personal computers and the Internet, and a host of other factors help explain the success of the financial industry during its run in the 1990s and in the early years of the twenty-first century," he writes. (Sandel's book offers a cogent overview of some of the philosophical underpinnings of our economic system. I recommend it.)
Most of us are at some remove from the high-risk, high-reward, and potentially calamitous machinations of Wall Street. Yet as we all found out rather painfully —and for many, the pain is deep and lasting —our economic system links us all inextricably. Down in the trenches where most logistics and material handling managers work, the consequences were all too real. Motor carrier bankruptcies, sharp drops in orders for material handling equipment, excess inventories, the departures of friends and colleagues, and questions about business survival and personal financial well being touched us all.
In the face of such a severe economic crisis, it is frustrating, to say the least, to know that doing everything right may not be enough. But if there's a bright side to all this, it's in the personal resilience and fortitude I've seen from so many in this industry who've shown themselves to be willing and able to keep on keeping on.

I've used a checkbox for the favourite button could that be the reason why the toast is not working
Also would anyone be able to tell me how to make the code so that once you have clicked on the favourite button it will stay clicked, because as it is it does not stay clicked on
Thanks in advance

A: I recommend you change your OnClickListener with OnCheckedChangeListener. It will get invoked when the user checks / unchecks the state of the CheckBox. IMHO, it's the better listener for this widget.

A: Try the code below
if ((fav.isChecked()) {
  Toast.makeText(Favourite_Toast.this, "Added to Favourites", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else{
  Toast.makeText(Favourite_Toast.this, "Removed From Favourites", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

A: Use this code in MainActivity... THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private CheckBox chk;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        chk = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);
        chk.setOnClickListener(checkboxClickListener);

    }

    View.OnClickListener checkboxClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            boolean checked = ((CheckBox) view).isChecked();
            if (checked) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Added to favourite", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
            else {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Removed from favourite", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    };

}
