State school admissions in England are regulated by the Schools Admissions Code, and schools must play fair, ensuring their admissions policy is not only fair but also transparent. Parents must play fair too: schools and local authorities are wising up on parental attempts to circumvent the code, and hundreds of school places are withdrawn every year, sometimes after the child has started school. read more

It. Is. Time! Time to finally let go of football, and immerse yourselves into Fantasy Baseball mode! Yes, the Super Bowl is still a couple more days away. However, the proverbial Super Bowl of Fantasy Baseball drafts hit the ground running back on January 22nd.
Of course, I am talking about the Fantasy Sports Trade Association's (FSTA) 2019 Fantasy Baseball Draft, hosted by SiriusXM. For those of you unaware, this yearly draft is the "official" start to the Fantasy Baseball season. It gives fantasy baseball fans all over the world an inside look at how the game is approached by the industry's leading experts.
Every year, the biggest and best in the business come together at the annual FSTA Conference, which was held in Tampa, Florida this year. At the conference, 14 teams of experts hammered out the first ten rounds of the draft for this basic 5×5 Rotisserie-style league. The remaining 19 additional rounds of the draft are currently being completed in a slow-draft format.
It is always fun to follow along in real-time, and analyze the different trends, the surprise picks, and the various strategies deployed throughout each round. And, that is exactly what I plan to do in a two-part series of articles. This article will focus on Rounds 1-15 of the 2019 FSTA Fantasy Baseball draft. My next article, which will focus on Rounds 16-29, will come out after the draft is officially complete.
For now, let's go ahead and delve into the analysis of the first half of the draft!
For those of you looking to keep track of the picks, here's the link for the 2019 FSTA Draft Board. Also, when you see a number in parentheses listed directly after a given player, that number represents that player's draft round and pick number. For instance, Ronald Acuna Jr. (1.06) would indicate he was taken in the first round at pick number six.
Starting pitchers flew off the board early, often, and in "odd" fashion. By "odd", I merely mean that an odd number of pitchers were taken in each of the first six rounds, and in nine of the first fifteen rounds. Not surprisingly, Max Scherzer (1.05), 2018 NL Cy Young Award winner, Jacob deGrom (1.12) and Chris Sale (1.13) went in the first round.
The second and third rounds followed suit with another five and seven pitchers selected, respectively. With both starters and relievers being drafted at this pace, almost every team took two or more pitchers every few rounds. Only three teams drafted a single starting pitcher through Round 6.
Clayton Kershaw (3.03), a perennial first-rounder for his entire career prior to this year, fell to the team from Colton & The Wolfman, after they took Corey Kluber (2.12). If Kershaw can finally stay healthy, he could be a major bargain as a third rounder. Of course, that is a big "if" for Kershaw. It looks like the crew from Colton & The Wolfman are banking on a bounce-back, healthy year from Kershaw since they did not take their next pitcher(s) until cluster-drafting Cody Allen (10.12), Ken Giles (11.3), and Kevin Gausman (12.12).
Bottom line, pitching is deep…even in a 14-team Roto league!
Just like the pitching picks, the outfielders flew off the board at a similar pace! This is not necessarily surprising, though, as the 2019 FSTA Fantasy Baseball League is based on starting five outfielders. In the first three rounds, the experts drafted 13 outfielders compared to 14 pitchers (all starters). However, only two outfielders were taken in three of the next four rounds, so there was a bit of a drop-off after the initial rush.
Steve and Howard from USA TODAY Sports "stole" Charlie Blackmon (3.02), a guy who stole a hefty 43 bags back in 2015 himself. Unfortunately, Blackmon only managed to swipe 12 bags last season, his lowest total since becoming an everyday player in 2014. To me, the draft slot is warranted, but I still like Blackmon to bounce back this year after his down 2018 campaign. Great pick, guys!
One of the main strategies of fantasy baseball, creating a well-balanced team, has become harder and harder to accomplish in recent years. The good ol' days of building a team chock-full of 5-tool players have seemingly disappeared. There are still a handful of guys that can help your team in all five of the offensive categories. However, focusing on guys who will provide bigger numbers in 2-3 categories is a more-realistic approach nowadays. The 2019 FSTA Fantasy Baseball Draft promotes this strategy as the new norm with the heavy run on guys with a strong Power-Speed combination.
Anyone keeping track of the draft can barely go more than a few picks at a time without seeing another Power-Speed guy drafted! For a few years, it was very easy to just punt steals. Now, with the influx of young players who can literally hit and run with ease, the Power-Speed combo has new life.
Round 2 had three picks I really like for this combo: Trevor Story (2.03), Whit Merrifield (2.10), and Javier Baez (2.11).
We knew the power was there with Story, but his high whiff rate created the image of an all-or-nothing potential bust. Then came 2018, when Story racked up 27 stolen bases along with 34 home runs, while earning his lowest K% (25.6%) of his 3-years in the MLB.
Merrifield is a few years older than Story, however, both players got the call-up back in 2016. After only playing in 81 games that year, Merrifield has dominated the base paths to the tune of 79 steals, while smacking 31 total homers.
Lastly, Javier Baez's 2018 numbers (34 HR, 21 SB) rival his combined totals from 2016 and 2017 (37 HR, 22 SB).
In this section, I want to highlight an eye-catching pick for each of the first 15 rounds of the draft. The picks will be broken down in three groups, Rounds 1-5, Rounds 6-10 and Rounds 11-15, with my analysis following the pick lists.
We are now into February, and both Machado and Harper remained unsigned. No need to dwell on that too much, as I expect both guys to have a new jersey sooner rather than later. But, I love the boldness to take both unsigned studs on the turn by Anthony Perri from Fantistics! Hopefully, they reward your loyalty.
Juan Soto at the first pick of the third round is a superb get, too! All this guy did last year in 116 games in the majors was mash, mash, and mash some more. Hopefully, he continues that torrid pace for Jeff Erickson's team in 2019.
Jean Segura is a very intriguing pick to me for a few reasons. First, I'm a born-and-raised Phillies fan, so I love seeing them get more productive players on the roster. Secondly, Segura is the second-to-last "safe" shortstop pick in the draft, in my opinion. He was the seventh shortstop off the board, and I can definitely see a boost in power numbers in Philly this year.
Puig rounds out my eye-catchers for the first five rounds. He was part of the blockbuster trade between the Dodgers and the Reds, but I really love this move for Puig. It gives him the chance to reinvent himself in a new locale with a new, suddenly competitive, team. I smell a breakout!
Villar is a solid pick for the NFBC team and could prove to be a medium-risk, high-reward player. I do not necessarily envision Villar ever duplicating his 2016 breakout stat line, but he did accumulate 21 of his 35 stolen bases in 2018 with Baltimore. He should get plenty of playing time on a team in complete rebuild mode.
Mallex Smith is not a guy you can count on for homers, especially with the move to Seattle. But, he is a monster on the base paths and should continue his production in the Runs/Steals categories. Helping Smith get across home plate will be one of Edwin Encarnacion's new assignments for the Mariners. E5 is another year older, but can still belt 30 home runs. You have to respect that production.
Michael Brantley finally stayed on the field for the majority of 2018, and he was back to his productive ways pre-injuries. I love Brantley going to Houston this year, and being able to team up with George Springer, Jose Altuve, and Alex Bregman. He should fit in there very easily.
Miles Mikolas had an incredible 2018 campaign with the Cardinals, going 18-4 in 32 games started. He was a true innings-eater, notching 200.2 IP, and he baffled the majority of the hitters he faced, leading to his 2.83 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. I would like to see an uptick in his K/9 (only 6.55 in 2018), but you cannot deny that line in the tenth round! That was a great pick by Ray Flowers from SiriusXM.
Eloy Jimenez is one of the top prospects in baseball, and he has fantasy owners salivating for his call-up to the show. The White Sox could still end up with either Harper or Machado, giving Jimenez a great role model to learn from once he gets the call.
The Kyle Freeland pick by Jim Bowden of SiriusXM is a very similar pick to the last pitcher I mentioned, Miles Mikolas. Freeland had very similar stats to Mikolas, all while pitching in the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. The main difference I am seeing here, though, is getting that quality nearly a full two rounds later! Nice pick, Jim!
David Robertson has been one of the most reliable relief pitchers in the game over the past few years. Bouncing between the Closer role and the Set-Up role has not had too much of a negative effect on D-Rob. Now, he heads to Philly to add much-needed experience to a fairly deep, but young, bullpen. He should get plenty of chances to strut his stuff in his new home!
Speaking of Philly…again…will we also see Dallas Keuchel donning red pinstripes in 2019? Anthony from Fantistics followed suit from his first two rounds of taking unsigned free agents by nabbing Keuchel in the 14th, which is an absolute steal!
Last, but certainly not least, we have Yusei Kikuchi. Seattle paid to get the Japanese pitcher into the MLB. It will be interesting to see how his success in Japan translates to the States. His ceiling is high, and well worth the cost of a 15th Round pick. Kudos to Howard Bender of Fantasy Alarm for taking the chance on Kikuchi!

Solex, from Fertilizer to Thermal Science
Photo: Courtesy of Solex Thermal Science
Solex Thermal Science was born of necessity in the fertilizer industry. A fertilizer plant wanted to increase capacity, but didn't have additional air emissions permits at the time. This was a problem because fertilizer processing – particularly the cooling stage – typically releases significant quantities of air pollutants like dust and other fine particles. Through ingenuity, the plant developed an industrial technology to cool the fertilizer without producing emissions, and while also reducing energy costs.
Solex's indirect cooling technology passes material over a hollow plate, which contains a heat exchange fluid that indirectly cools the material through conduction. The process uses 90% less energy than traditional direct cooling and heating processes, resulting in significant cost savings. Solex's technology also avoids air emissions because the material does not come into contact with air and allows the heat exchange fluid, usually water or thermal oil, to be reused.
Solex's first sale was to a fertilizer plant in Alberta. Since then, Solex has evolved from its roots cooling fertilizer into a company that provides cooling, heating, and drying for a variety of products, including sugar, oilseeds, plastics, and coffee. Solex currently employs 63 people globally, with 38 of its staff in Calgary. The company has a number of installations in Alberta and operates in most other Canadian provinces as well as numerous countries around the world.
The applications for Solex's technology continue to evolve. Given the company's experience working with high temperature materials, it is now in the development stage of a solar thermal project to more efficiently convert sunlight to heat energy to generate power. Specifically, Solex is developing a heat exchanger that can transfer heat from high temperature solids to supercritical carbon dioxide, to be used as a fluid to spin turbines to generate electricity. The hope is to bring the cost of solar thermal from 12 cents/kWh down to 6 cents/kWh.
Solex is also able to store materials, including energy, at a high temperature for long periods of time. This allows Solex to dispatch the stored heat to power turbines when energy is needed and store the energy in the warm materials when it is not needed. When these heat storage capabilities are combined with solar thermal, it creates the potential for dispatchable renewable energy, addressing the energy storage challenge currently facing the renewable energy industry. Solex is building a small-scale system to test this concept, with plans to expand to a pilot scale in late 2018 or early 2019.

Canada's First Concentrated Solar Thermal Plant
Medicine Hat is called the gas city, and for good reason. It sits on sizable natural gas reserves, which meant the city never suffered at budget time. In 2007, the city started down a path that should serve as a model to those lucky places that are endowed with fossil fuels.
The city's one-megawatt concentrated solar thermal plant is the first of its kind in Canada. Row after row of large concave metal mirrors glow in the sun on the hill above the Trans-Canada Highway.
By focusing the sun's rays onto a point, you can generate incredible amounts of heat. This project creates temperatures of 340 degrees Celsius. That heat is used to make steam, which spins a turbine and generates electricity.
"We had to reinvest, we had to diversify because all of our eggs were in that one basket"
It's the farthest north a concentrated solar thermal project has ever been built, yet it makes sense in Medicine Hat. This is one of the sunniest cities in Canada, receiving more direct sunlight annually than Miami.
Concentrated solar thermal was the original renewable energy pacesetter. Massive projects were built in Spain, California and other sunny, arid places in the '80s and '90s. But solar photovoltaic modules, the familiar solar panels, have surpassed concentrated solar thermal. There are four gigawatts of installed concentrated solar thermal projects in the world but more than 300 gigawatts of installed solar PV.
The Medicine Hat project cost $9 million, with the funding split evenly between the city, the Province of Alberta and the Alberta Climate Change Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC), the Province's carbon technology mitigation fund. This installation works in concert with the city utility's neighboring 204-megawatt natural gas fired power plant.
"We knew at the time we had to give back in some way. We had to reinvest, we had to diversify because all of our eggs were in that one basket, which was natural gas," says Medicine Hat mayor Ted Clugston.

Q: How to make streams from BLOBs available in plain old C# objects when using SqlDataReader? This is the scenario:

*

*We store files, e.g. relatively large documents (10-300MB), in blobs in our MSSQL database.

*We have a very small domain model so we use the clean SqlDataReader approach for our repository, instead of an ORM, to avoid unnecessary dependencies.

*We want to use the objects in server context on ASP.NET/ASP.NET MVC web pages.

*We do not want to temporarily store the blobs in byte[], to avoid high memory usage on the server

So what I have been doing is to implement my own SqlBlobReader. It inherits Stream and IDisposable and during instantiation we must supply a SqlCommand containing a query that returns one row with one column, which is the blob we want to stream, of course. Then my C# domain objects can have a property of type Stream which returns a SqlBlobReader implementation. This stream can then be used when streaming to a FileContentStream in ASP.net MVC, etc.
It will immediately do an ExecuteReader with SequentialAccess to enable streaming of the blob from the MSSQL server. This means that we must be careful to dispose the stream ASAP when using it, and that we always lazily instantiate SqlBlobReader when it is needed, e.g. using a repository call inside our domain objects.
My question is then:

*

*Is this a smart way of achieving streams of blobs on plain old domain objects when using SqlDataReader instead of an ORM?

*I'm not a ADO.NET expert, does the implementation seem reasonable?

SqlBlobReader.cs:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.IO;

namespace Foo
{
   /// <summary>
   /// There must be a SqlConnection that works inside the SqlCommand. Remember to dispose of the object after usage.
   /// </summary>
   public class SqlBlobReader : Stream
   {
      private readonly SqlCommand command;
      private readonly SqlDataReader dataReader;
      private bool disposed = false;
      private long currentPosition = 0;

      /// <summary>
      /// Constructor
      /// </summary>
      /// <param name="command">The supplied <para>sqlCommand</para> must only have one field in select statement, or else the stream won't work. Select just one row, all others will be ignored.</param>
      public SqlBlobReader(SqlCommand command)
      {
         if (command == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("command");
         if (command.Connection == null)
            throw new ArgumentException("The internal Connection cannot be null", "command");
         if (command.Connection.State != ConnectionState.Open)
            throw new ArgumentException("The internal Connection must be opened", "command");
         dataReader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess);
         dataReader.Read();
         this.command = command; // only stored for disposal later
      }

      /// <summary>
      /// Not supported
      /// </summary>
      public override long Seek(long offset, SeekOrigin origin)
      {
         throw new NotSupportedException();
      }

      /// <summary>
      /// Not supported
      /// </summary>
      public override void SetLength(long value)
      {
         throw new NotSupportedException();
      }

      public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int index, int count)
      {
         long returned = dataReader.GetBytes(0, currentPosition, buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
         currentPosition += returned;
         return Convert.ToInt32(returned);
      }

      /// <summary>
      /// Not supported
      /// </summary>
      public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
      {
         throw new NotSupportedException();
      }

      public override bool CanRead
      {
         get { return true; }
      }

      public override bool CanSeek
      {
         get { return false; }
      }

      public override bool CanWrite
      {
         get { return false; }
      }

      public override long Length
      {
         get { throw new NotSupportedException(); }
      }

      public override long Position
      {
         get { throw new NotSupportedException(); }
         set { throw new NotSupportedException(); }
      }

      protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
      {
         if (!disposed)
         {
            if (disposing)
            {
               if (dataReader != null)
                  dataReader.Dispose();
               SqlConnection conn = null;
               if (command != null)
               {
                  conn = command.Connection;
                  command.Dispose();
               }
               if (conn != null)
                  conn.Dispose();
               disposed = true;
            }
         }
         base.Dispose(disposing);
      }

      public override void Flush()
      {
         throw new NotSupportedException();
      }

   }

}

In Repository.cs:
  public virtual Stream GetDocumentFileStream(int fileId)
  {
     var conn = new SqlConnection {ConnectionString = configuration.ConnectionString};
     var cmd = new SqlCommand
                  {
                     CommandText =
                        "select DocumentFile " +
                        "from MyTable " +
                        "where Id = @Id",
                     Connection = conn,
                  };

     cmd.Parameters.Add("@Id", SqlDbType.Int).Value = fileId;
     conn.Open();
     return new SqlBlobReader(cmd);
  }

In DocumentFile.cs:
  public Stream GetStream()
  {
     return repository.GetDocumentFileStream(Id);
  }

In DocumentController.cs:
  // A download controller in ASP.net MVC 2

  [OutputCache(CacheProfile = "BigFile")]
  public ActionResult Download(int id)
  {
     var document = repository.GetDocument(id);
     return new FileStreamResult(document.DocumentFile.GetStream(), "application/pdf")
               {
                  FileDownloadName = "Foo.pdf";
               };
  }

A: There's a bug; you are ignoring the user's args, and you should probably guard for -ve returned:
  public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int index, int count)
  {
     long returned = dataReader.GetBytes(0, currentPosition,
         buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
     currentPosition += returned;
     return Convert.ToInt32(returned);
  }

should probably be:
  public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int index, int count)
  {
     long returned = dataReader.GetBytes(0, currentPosition,
         buffer, index, count);
     if(returned > 0) currentPosition += returned;
     return (int)returned;
  }

(otherwise you are writing into the wrong part of the buffer)
But generally looks good.

A: Note that .net 4.5 now does this OOB - SqlDataReader.GetStream()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqldatareader.getstream(v=vs.110).aspx

A: That's gorgeous!  Thanks for this memory saver.  Besides Marc's fix I modified the constructor to open connection and dispose in case the open or execute fails to reduce code/exception handling in caller.  (Didn't know Dispose could be called from constructor). Constructor mod:
try
{
    this.command = command;     // store for disposal

    if (command.Connection.State != ConnectionState.Open)
        command.Connection.Open();

    dataReader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess);
    dataReader.Read();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Dispose();
    throw;
}

If you want to enjoy your retirement, then indulging in different activities is a good option. And condominiums can be a good way to gain some money in your old age. Condominiums are houses or apartments with multi units owned by different individuals or tenants.
The market of real estate is now bottoming. Hence, the rate of interest and prices are quite low. It is the ideal time to go for a condo that you always wished for. You can buy a condo in a good locality and enjoy a luxurious vacation there at times.
If you want to rent them, there are certain things you must keep in mind. Make sure your tenant is decent enough and will pay the rent on time. Before signing a deal, you must collect some information about them. Your tenants might steal things or damage your property. So, try to keep a check on that with at least monthly visits.
If these things work out, surely your condominium will turn out to be a source of great income.
How can you get affordable housing?
G lobalization has made everything costly these days. Owning a home is probably the most common aim everyone has, but the aforementioned globalization has made that difficult too. So, many people are forced to relinquish that dream. But still, if you have some help, you can get affordable housing.
The first thing is to search and search a lot. There is always a place where you can find the correct housing but for that to happen, you have to find that place. The internet is a very good medium to search for affordable housing. There are websites where you can categorize houses by their price tags, space and other things. Using these websites, you can cut short your options into a handful. Then you can go to these places in person and talk with their owner. Doing this will definitely help you to find affordable housing.

So there you are in a fix as to what is the best cement available in the U.S. but don't worry we are there to help you out with the right selection. Now a number of cement types are available in the United States but what will be the best one depends totally on your requirement.
Your choice should be guided by what purpose you want the cement to serve, whether it is the construction of a pathway or are you looking forward to cementing your fences, and it should always be guided by the environmental conditions of your area. Now cement is not only needed as a building material, but dentists need it for cementing of teeth, it is used in painting purposes, and also used as a sealer.
It's all available; just choose it according to the purpose for which you need it.

Percy & Founders
darkblue in Business
Photography Laurie Fletcher & James Brown
"We want to be the natural social hub that people want to go to not once a week, but two or three times a week."
Peer and landowner, Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland, is a name which is quietly synonymous with Fitzrovia. About the streets, subtle references to a man who developed and built on the name of our region from Percy Street to The Northumberland Arms are evenly spread. In 1755, Hugh Percy and a group of philanthropists came together and founded the Middlesex Hospital. Forward to today; for many, Percy and his founders would appear as but names in history. Now, on the site of the former Middlesex Hospital, a new reference to their legacy and the heritage of Fitzrovia has come to light. Sure to become as synonymous with the neighbourhood as Hugh Percy himself, Fitzrovia's newest social destination Percy & Founders is a restaurant and bar which takes its name from Hugh Percy and the men who founded the Middlesex Hospital.
Having opened this spring, Percy & Founders is situated within the new Fitzroy Place development at a prominent corner where Berners Street and Mortimer Street meet, backing onto the soon to be unveiled Pearson Square. The restaurant is the first creation of Open House, the recently formed sister company to Cubitt House, renowned for its award-winning beautifully designed public houses in Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Pimlico and Marylebone – The Orange, Pimlico, being a particular favourite of mine. The formation of Open House marks the group's evolutionary jump from a traditional pub to a contemporary, all-day dining venue.
Percy & Founders' modern all-day dining is complemented by the different areas of the restaurant being tailored to a variety of needs at different times of the day – with a notable focus on ease and accessibility. Welcoming both reservations and casual walk-ins, the restaurant itself offers residents and visitors alike everything from morning coffee and breakfast through to lunch, dinner and evening cocktails. Alfresco dining is offered for the warmer months. Each section of Percy & Founders is purposefully designed to flow effortlessly into the next, thus making for a reassuringly comfortable venue. "We want to be the natural social hub that people want to go to not once a week, but two or three times a week," says Open House Director Stefan Turnbull.
Great emphasis has been put on the design and finish of Percy & Founders, with the interior of the restaurant sympathetic to the heritage of Fitzrovia and its surrounding architecture. The logo of the restaurant is inspired by elements of the Percy family coat of arms. The Middlesex Hospital, and adjoining Grade II listed Fitzrovia Chapel at the rear, are echoed throughout the restaurant and bar with subtle nods to their respective styles: from bold colours, to patterns, textures and unique marble detail. The design philosophy of the restaurant appropriately centres on traditional craftsmanship with bespoke, handcrafted joinery throughout. The perfect combination of glass, brass and wood panelling paired with oak and terrazzo flooring make for a custom designed feel with surfaces hand-finished by oiling, brushing and oxidising – bespoke furniture honours both the style and substance of high modernism without being mistaken for nostalgic or retrograde.
Walking about the restaurant from the centre bar to the view directly into the restored Fitzrovia Chapel, the array of art collections by notable artists and illustrators is striking. Hanging from the ceiling above the central circular bench is a tailored piece by Alex Randall titled 'The Butterfly Domes', acting as a crossroads where a tree rests. When entering through the main entrance, directly on the left is the well-lit and traditionally styled cocktail bar for which there is a capacity of 65, with a mix of high and low level seating with four large Chesterfield sofas at the centre, and a marble topped bar. For the summer months, the large concertina windows can be folded open with comfortable window seats below each. On the far wall of the bar is another nod to the heritage of The Middlesex Hospital; 'Acts of Mercy' (Frederick Cayley Robinson 1916-1920), a collection originally commissioned and hung in the hospital itself. In part, Robinson's collection represents the traumatic effects of conflict on patients sent back from the First World War.
To the right of the main entrance, adjacent to the cocktail bar, capable of seating 25 is The Reading Room. The casual feeling here is complemented by low furniture and window seats from which to work and relax: sumptuous fabrics, eye-catching glass light wall fittings and bookshelves (even some neatly tucked away copies of Fitzrovia Journal). On into the restaurant where there sits a series of dining spaces, again each tailored to different needs – all tables are centred around the central division bar. Here the Fitzrovia Chapel's arresting interior can be viewed through a glass door – rest assured, a table here by the chapel is a real view to a kill. These areas are designed to host a variety of flexible private functions; from canapé receptions to sit down dinners.
Laid out along the left wall of the restaurant toward the stairwell, hangs the original 16 piece 'A Rake's Progress' by British painter David Hockney (a 1960 adaptation of William Hogarth's 1733 'A Rake's Progress'), drawing attention to the challenges of social mobility and of maintaining one's personal identity. At the far end of the restaurant it is difficult to distract yourself from the endearing pose of 'Sick Dog' by German painter, Michael Sowa, hung above the staircase. Where dogs were once as in abundance as guests in public houses, it seems appropriate for this be placed within the restaurant; Percy & Founders is a dog-friendly establishment.
Toward the far end of the restaurant, quickly stealing your attention is the superb open kitchen. Standing within this arena of creativity and buzz is a 1.5 tonne Maestro Venetti oven, custom designed for/by wonderful Executive Chef, Diego Cardoso. Standing before the kitchen are two high level sharing tables which allow for guests to experience the atmosphere and excitement of the kitchen through the Pyrolave pass, which is a glazed volcanic lava stone; past the kitchen, to the left and down the bespoke terrazzo and brass staircase leading to the lower ground floor, is the private dining room. Capable of seating 20 guests, and complete with its own bar, the dining room launched just last month. The versatile design of the space will be able to tailor to a number of different private functions such as drinks receptions, presentations, board meetings and family celebrations.
Percy & Founders Executive Chef, Diego Cardoso, has brought his wealth of experience to Fitzrovia, having previously worked in an array of some of the world's most creative and exciting kitchens; most recently having worked as Head Chef at Angela Hartnett's Murano. The all-day menu he has created features a fusion of simple British and modern European delights. There is a concise list of six starters, six mains, salads, sides and a dry-aged beef section. Mains such as the Sea Trout and Middle White Pork are delicious. There is also an all-day bar menu, including bar snacks – note the courgette wafers, cream cheese and Iberico ham, which are mesmerising. The restaurant is also open for breakfast at 7:30 throughout the week and has a weekend brunch menu – not forgetting a traditional Sunday Roast. Hand-in-hand with the menu itself, staff in the restaurant and bar are polite and informal, adding to the overall relaxed and casual setting at the heart of the neighbourhood.
Starters straight from Cardoso's menu, such as the Lobster & Prawn Scotch Egg or Crispy Short Rib, make for a refreshing start to dinner, however, I was won over by a daily special; asparagus with quail eggs. Main dishes include Rib of Dry-aged Beef with baked bone marrow to share, Hand-made Linguine and Lamb Burger (harissa spiced mayo and sweet potato fries).
The restaurant's salads include Grilled Chicken with crispy skin and Hot Smoked Salmon, with the options of sides in the form of Truffle Fries, Charred Greens and Mac & Cheese. Puddings are all presented with paired wines if desired and include Percy's Mistresses (maple syrup butter), Yorkshire Treacle Tart and Lemon & Yoghurt. In switching between the traditional Old Fashioned fare and Percy & Founders' own New-Old Fashioned, the drink offerings are respectably affordable, pairing wines from small grower labels alongside established producers, all of which are served by the glass, carafe and bottle.
From its attachment to the heritage of the Fitzrovia neighbourhood, and its respectful nods both in design and interior toward the site of the former Middlesex Hospital, Percy & Founders becomes as synonymous with the area as Hugh Percy himself. With summer now well on the rise, Fitzrovia's newest all-day social destination is set only to flourish.

Theta Apodis (θ Apodis, θ Aps) is a variable star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Apus. It is a variable star with an apparent visual magnitude range of 4.65 to 6.20, which, according to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, means it is a faint star but visible to the naked eye from dark suburban skies. The distance to Theta Apodis is approximately , based upon parallax measurements made from the Gaia telescope.  It is unusual in that it is a red star with a high proper motion (greater than 50 milliarcseconds a year).

This is an evolved red giant that is currently on the asymptotic giant branch, with a stellar classification of M7 III. It shines with a luminosity approximately 3879 times that of the Sun and has a surface temperature of . It is a semiregular pulsating variable and its brightness changes over a range of 0.56 magnitudes with a period of 119 days. A longer period of around 1,000 days has also been detected. It is losing mass at the rate of  times the mass of the Sun per year through its stellar wind. Dusty material ejected from this star is interacting with the surrounding interstellar medium, forming a bow shock as the star moves through the galaxy. The stand-off distance for this front is located at about  from Theta Apodis.

Theta Apodis has been identified as an astrometric binary, indicating that it has an orbiting companion that causes gravitational perturbation of the primary star.

Camaraderie is the spirit of good fellowship. It's the mutual trust and friendship that emerges among people who spend a lot of time together.
Championship teams have it. Winning coaches understand its importance.
Take Doc Rivers, head coach of the NBA Boston Celtics, for instance. Rivers goes so far as to require his basketball players to spend off-court time together by attending one another's functions. He realizes the obvious: some players like to hang out with certain teammates, others don't. He's continually trying to identify cliques in the locker-room and keeps a sharp eye on his basketball players to prevent too selective of groups that will get in the way of building team camaraderie.
When I was the point guard for Iowa State, we would get together once a week, watch a show, cook some food, and spend that important time together developing our trust and building key relationships.
There is seldom conversation amongst teams about how to foster chemistry. However, it is important for the coaches and leaders to find creative ways to unite their team in off-court opportunities. I constantly find myself struggling with this as I lead our seasonal summer coaching staff during our busy basketball camp season.
unique opportunities to share a team building experience together. One location it might mean going for an all staff walk around a beautiful pond on campus. One location might present the chance to get on court and hoop it up together. One location was extremely exciting, which I share below.
I had two sessions at Gallaudet University this past summer, one in June and the other in July. During the June session, I identified a neat ropes course on campus. I immediately got connected with the ropes instructor, Jean, and inquired if I the coaching staff and I could attempt to do the ropes course on our day off prior to beginning the July basketball camp. While I wanted to make it mandatory, the middle of July is when fatigue typically creeps up on many of the coaches. However, almost the entire staff participated. We were challenged, yet Jean was a tremendous teacher and really was able to pull some amazing thoughts from the group. Most importantly, we had a great time getting outside of our comfort zone, engaging with one another on a completely different level, and we will forever share wonderful memories from the experience.
Here are some pictures from our experience and a video of myself flying through the air on the ropes course. The smiles and laughs tell it all.
PGC 'Team Fennelly' at the ropes course: Jenny Logan, Tony Tatum, David White, Lyndsey Fennelly, Omari Whiltshire, Stephen Fennelly, and Brianne O'Rourke.
PGC director, Lyndsey Fennelly, is all smiles now…!
It doesn't need to be a ropes course, but it is important to be thinking about how you can create camaraderie on your basketball team and sustain it for the duration of the basketball season. The pre-season is a wonderful time to encourage this behavior and build the foundation for a successful basketball season.
What are you doing this pre-season to build the chemistry of your team as either a coach or player? I would love other ideas or suggestions for what takes place in the pre-season to build the camaraderie of championship-level teams.

Mark Fry – Aeroplanes (from the album South wind, clear sky, Second Language Records)
I found it hard to get past this opening song on Fry's new album, a welcome return from the veteran folk artist who has been pursuing a career as a painter when not playing music.
With those wonderful cello drones and flurries of fingerpicked acoustic guitar, allied with a pastoral, dreamlike atmosphere, it plays like a companion to the Bert Jansch song 'The black swan', itself a modern classic.
Where Jansch was describing a vaguely sci-fi future, Fry seems to be dreaming of a re-imagined, idyllic present.
You listen to this and find yourself drifting on a stratospheric current just like the silver bird in the song.
It's uplifting and quite beautiful.

Cameron has been in a "helping" mode and asks to help out with everything!
This trait came in very handy for Christmas decorating... Chris and Jane have a system worked out for the holiday setup.
Chris brings everything up from the basement and takes out the tree. Cam helps assemble the tree and they "unfold" all of the branches. Then it's time for Jane to enlist Cam's assistance for ornamentation.
Cam was an excellent helper deciding which ornaments were placed where. For the first time, we decided to place all of the family ones together and the special Cam ones in the same spot. The finished product is one in which each family member played a role in its completion.
Although Stella the cat didn't lend her paws, she tends to lay underneath the tree where it seems she's convinced no one can see her.
place it in a paper bag in the microwave and it would "pop."
Chris and Jane weren't too sure about the explanation and had their reservations. The doubters were proved wrong! Sure enough, the ear of popcorn popped in the microwave and the ear of corn still had some attached. Cam couldn't gobble it up quickly enough and certainly didn't have time to be interrupted for a photo shoot! We highly recommend this very tasty treat!!

Home Labor News From Our Region This week in labor history: October 19-25
Labor News From Our Region
This week in labor history: October 19-25
1949 – The National Association of Letter Carriers achieves equalization of wages for all letter carriers, meaning city delivery carriers began receiving the same wages regardless of the size of the community in which they worked.
1980 – The J.P. Stevens textile company finally signs its first union contract after a 17-year struggle in North Carolina and other southern states.
1926 – Eugene V. Debs, U.S. Labor leader and socialist, dies in Elmhurst, Ill. Among his radical ideas: an eight-hour workday, pensions, workman's compensation, sick leave and Social Security. He ran for president from a jail cell in 1920 and got a million votes.
1947 – Hollywood comes under scrutiny as the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) opens hearings into alleged Communist influence in the motion picture industry. Dozens of union members were among those unfairly blacklisted as a result of HUAC's activities.
1980 – Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan writes to PATCO President Robert Poli with this promise: If the union endorses Reagan, "I will take whatever steps are necessary to provide our air traffic controllers with the most modern equipment available and to adjust staff levels and workdays so that they are commensurate with achieving a maximum degree of public safety." He got the endorsement. Nine months after the election, he fires the air traffic controllers for engaging in an illegal walkout over staffing levels and working conditions.
1983 – Death of Merle Travis, songwriter and performer who wrote "Sixteen Tons" and "Dark as a Dungeon."
2013 – Two track workers are killed in a (San Francisco) Bay Area Rapid Transit train accident. Federal investigators said the train was run by a BART employee who was being trained as an operator as members of the Amalgamated Transit Union were participating in what was to be a four-day strike.
1933 – Wisconsin dairy farmers begin their third strike of the year in an attempt to raise the price of milk paid to producers during the Great Depression. Several creameries were bombed before the strike ended a month later. The economy eventually improved, allowing the farmers to make more money.
1934 – Bank robber Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd is killed by FBI agents near East Liverpool, Ohio. He was a hero to the people of Oklahoma who saw him as a "Sagebrush Robin Hood," stealing from banks and sharing some of the proceeds with the poor.
1902 – President Theodore Roosevelt establishes a fact-finding commission that suspends a nine-month-long strike by Western Pennsylvania coal miners fighting for better pay, shorter workdays and union recognition. The strikers ended up winning more pay for fewer hours but failed to get union recognition. It was the first time that the federal government had intervened as a neutral arbitrator in a Labor dispute.
1989 – Explosion and fire at Phillips Petroleum refinery in Pasadena, Texas, kills 23 and injures 314.
2001 – Postal workers Joseph Curseen and Thomas Morris die nearly a month after having inhaled anthrax at the Brentwood mail sorting center in Washington, D.C. Other postal workers had been made ill but survived. Letters containing the deadly spores had been addressed to U.S. Senate offices and media outlets.
1940 – The 40-hour workweek goes into effect under the Fair Labor Standards Act, signed by President Roosevelt two years earlier.
1945 – U.S. minimum wage increases to 40 cents an hour.
1899 – What many believe to be the first formal training on first aid in American history took place at the Windsor Hotel in Jermyn, Penn., when Dr. Matthew J. Shields instructed 25 coal miners on ways to help their fellow miners. Upon completion of the course, each of the miners was prepared and able to render first aid. The training led to marked decreases in serious mining injuries and fatalities.
1934 – Some 25,000 silk dye workers strike in Paterson, N.J.
1949 – In what becomes known as the Great Hawaiian Dock Strike, a six-month struggle to win wage parity with mainland dock workers ends in victory.
1990 – The Tribune Co. begins a brutal five-month-long lockout at the New York Daily News, part of an effort to bust the newspaper's unions.
1995 – John Sweeney, president of the Service Employees Int'l Union, is elected president of AFL-CIO.
2011 – After a two-year fight, workers at the Bonus Car Wash in Santa Monica, Calif., win a union contract calling for pay increases, better breaks and other gains. "They didn't treat us like people," nine-year employee Oliverio Gomez told the Los Angeles Times.

Increase in visitors for progressive talk | America loves Sporks!
I noticed an uptick in the number of people listening to Progressive talk shows this week and was wondering why. This morning I got the answer – two more Progressive Talk stations just went under – WGUV in Atlanta (they didn't stream) is going hip hop and KYNS-AM in California went all news.

Except on a stinky old mobile device it reports value undefined when i run my test alert!
data itself produces the proper string "Device Updated" correctly on all browsers.
Any ideas??  Thanks!

A: Try using data.charAt(0). Your way of accessing a string is not supported by all browsers.
Check this JavaScript access string chars as array out, there's explanation as to why in the answers.


We've included people and ornaments for each day during a long Advent season of 28 days. When the season is shorter, you may wish to use some of the stories from the fourth week during this week.
David was a great poet and a person of deep, yet flawed, spirituality. He is credited with a heartfelt song of faith in God for his continued protection (2 Samuel 22). In this song, David describes God as a rock, fortress, deliverer, shield, horn, stronghold, and refuge. God's actions in David's life are like the mighty forces of nature aiding him: breakers surge and floods overwhelm; the earth sways and shakes, trembles and quakes. David's enemies flee and are destroyed, ground into the dust and trampled. God's commitment to David will not end, though David is unfaithful in many ways. God's covenant love is steadfast and enduring.
God now calls Elijah to confront Ahab and pagan gods. He is going into enemy territory: Jezebel is killing off the prophets of Israel. In spite of the danger, Elijah is not put off. When he meets with the king, Ahab calls Elijah the "troubler of Israel." Elijah responds by challenging the priests of Baal and Asherah to a contest with the God of Israel.
Ahaz was not faithful to God, engaging in such contemptible practices as sacrificing one of his sons in the Canaanite way (2 Kings 16:1-4). When Ahaz died, he was replaced by his surviving son, Hezekiah. Hezekiah tried to make up for his father's unfaithfulness.
In response, one of the seraphs flies to Isaiah with a live coal taken from the altar and touches his lips with it, declaring that his guilt has departed. Isaiah then hears the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" And Isaiah replies, "Here am I; send me!" (Isaiah 6:8).
Jeremiah teaches that the people cannot pray faithfully if they continue to oppress the immigrants, the orphans, and the widows. They have to stop shedding innocent blood (some practiced human sacrifice), and they must act justly toward one another. "Here you are, trusting in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are safe!'—only to go on doing all these abominations? Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your sight? You know, I too am watching, says the LORD" (Jeremiah 7:8-11).
Acknowledging that he does not understand God's will, Habakkuk stands ready to hear what God has planned. God assures Habakkuk that no matter what seems to be happening on the surface, God's ultimate plan for the Judeans who live in faithfulness will not be delayed. "For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay" (Habakkuk 2:3).
After persuading the king to let him return to Judah, Nehemiah was named governor and given permission to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. When he arrived in Jerusalem, Nehemiah rallied the people and rebuilt or restored the walls in fifty-two days. However, he realized that the people were spiritually lax and must also be rebuilt. Ezra read the Law to the people and helped them understand its demands.


You Can't See Me is the debut studio album released in 2005 by WWE wrestler John Cena and his cousin Trademarc. It was released during a time when Cena has risen to the top of the WWE, just a month after he won the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 21, back when Cena still had his "rapper" gimmick he had starting in 2003.
Three singles were released from the album: The Time Is Now (his entrance theme since 2005), Right Now, and Bad, Bad Man.
