Q: Animate TextView to increase integer and stop at some point? I have a TextView showing integer value. Integer value is transferred from previous activity, and I want to add nice animation. I want to if for example int value is 73, I want textView to increase shown number by 1 until 73, so it would be 1-2-3-4-5...etc etc.
How can I do this?

A: Here is a simple function to animate the text of a textView according to an initial and final value
public void animateTextView(int initialValue, int finalValue, final TextView textview) {
        DecelerateInterpolator decelerateInterpolator = new DecelerateInterpolator(0.8f);
        int start = Math.min(initialValue, finalValue);
        int end = Math.max(initialValue, finalValue);
        int difference = Math.abs(finalValue - initialValue);
        Handler handler = new Handler();
        for (int count = start; count <= end; count++) {
            int time = Math.round(decelerateInterpolator.getInterpolation((((float) count) / difference)) * 100) * count;
            final int finalCount = ((initialValue > finalValue) ? initialValue - count : count);
            handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    textview.setText(String.valueOf(finalCount));
                }
            }, time);
        }
    }

A: I think this project in github is what you want: https://github.com/sd6352051/RiseNumber
The RiseNumberTextView extends TextView and use the ValueAnimator to implement the rising number effect.

A: This is a Kotlin code for incrementing from initial value to final value over a duration of time. Here I have used duration of 5 sec.
 fun animateTextView(initialValue: Int, finalValue: Int, textView: TextView) {
        val valueAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(initialValue, finalValue)
        valueAnimator.duration = 5000 // 5 sec
        valueAnimator.addUpdateListener { valueAnimator -> textView.text = valueAnimator.animatedValue.toString() }
        valueAnimator.start()
    }

use this code in Utilities and call the method accordingly with required parameters.

A: The best solution in my opinion is to use this method :
public void animateTextView(int initialValue, int finalValue, final TextView  textview) {

    ValueAnimator valueAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(initialValue, finalValue);
    valueAnimator.setDuration(1500);

    valueAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator valueAnimator) {

            textview.setText(valueAnimator.getAnimatedValue().toString());

        }
    });
    valueAnimator.start();

}

A: try this code..showing increment value with animation
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements AnimationListener {
    private TextView textView;
    AlphaAnimation fadeIn, fadeOut;

    private static int count = 0, finalValue = 20;

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

        textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);

        fadeIn = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
        fadeOut = new AlphaAnimation(1.0f, 0.0f);

        fadeIn.setDuration(1000);
        fadeIn.setFillAfter(true);
        fadeOut.setDuration(1000);
        fadeOut.setFillAfter(true);

        fadeIn.setAnimationListener(this);
        fadeOut.setAnimationListener(this);
        textView.startAnimation(fadeIn);
        textView.startAnimation(fadeOut);

    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationEnd(Animation arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        Log.i("mini", "Count:" + count);

        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                textView.setText("" + count);
            }
        });

        if (count == finalValue) {
            textView.setText("" + finalValue);
        } else {
            ++count;
            textView.startAnimation(fadeIn);
            textView.startAnimation(fadeOut);
        }

    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationStart(Animation arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}


For me, what I love most about Fall fashion is layering. I love mixing pieces from my summer wardrobe and adding a jacket or scarf and making it work for fall. While I am often wearing jeans (or even yoga pants) and a t-shirt, I still want to look nice. I recently found this blog and love the idea of a capsule wardrobe. While I don't know if I'm going to be super strict with the number of pieces I have in my closet, I am consciously going to try to buy less and focus on choosing quality items that will work for many outfits. This fall I want to focus on finding comfortable, cute, and well fitted shirts and complete the look with a denim jacket or blazer. I am super excited about my new denim jacket because I also think it will look great with a lot of my summer dresses and maxi skirts :) I haven't worn a quilted vest in a while, but they seem to be super popular right now. Since I don't know how often I will wear one, I can't justify buying the JCrew version. Instead I bought the Old Navy version and I will see how often I wear it this fall.
What's on your list of must haves for the Fall? What do you think of the capsule wardrobe? Would you be willing to give it a try?
Love that maxi skirt! I try to keep my closet neat & tidy; so typically, if I buy something new I will donate something I don't wear much anymore. Conor on the other hand hoards all his clothes!!!
I've been eyeing jean jackets for a while now but I can't bring myself to spend the money and pull the trigger and buy one. Did you get this LOFT one? Does it fit well? I've been wanting one to wear with my maxi dresses for fall!

Join @5minutefriday as we write for five minutes on the prompt, PRIVILEGE.
I wake up in the morning and don't even feel it on my body. It clings to me, saturates the air I breathe. I'm so used to it, I don't even smell it, don't even taste it, don't even see its presence sticking to my skin.
It's only when someone else — sometimes the Holy Spirit — points it out to me that I see it . . . my privilege.
Much of it could be called White Privilege, yes. Much of it is just plain privilege. But there is nothing plain about it, despite my frequent (constant?) treatment of it as normal and unworthy of attention.
I'll admit, I've been that person who has been more grateful for what I have after witnessing the circumstances of those who don't. I even wrote about it in my memoir, after being in India and Honduras. And then I stopped there.
How do I move beyond being privileged and sometimes grateful, sometimes not?
Deidra Riggs offers some suggestions in her post, 12 Essential Steps to Overcoming Your Addiction to White Privilege.
Take what you want and leave what you want, but we have to start somewhere if anything is going to change.

Beautiful. Powerful words…there's nothing plain about privilege ..perfect.
Thanks for hosting and for sharing your heart !
Yes! Where did we lose sight of what the Bible says over and over again? Privilege means responsibility.
Kate, this is a powerful post. We often don't even realize we wear privilege around do we? I've been thinking along these lines also.
I so appreciate your perspective.
Indeed we do need to start somewhere. Thanks for starting somewhere!
I am torn concerning this word because it has so much behind it. I think that each of us will approach it as it inspires, but that it can't just be a word to inspire writing. it has too much associated to it.
Perhaps it takes a word like this to open my eyes to the fact that so many writing are white. That's not a problem, but I wonder if we can truly grasp all the nuances of what this word brings to all who hear it.
That was just something that struck me as I was looking through the posts. That doesn't usually strike me, but it should. I am not sure how to change this, I just am stating what I observe.
And now I've been sitting here for several minutes, trying to put my thoughts into words. It's not working. Will be sitting with what you've shared today.

TRAILER PARK: Terry Gilliam's 'Zero Theorem' Is So Strange That I Can't Give It A Proper Headline
Troy-Jeffrey Allen January 28, 2014


My familiarity with the Pixies' music is shallow at best, and nonexistent when it comes to Black Francis' solo work, so I can't speak to The Good Inn as a work reflective of any lyrical tendencies. In fact, when the characters break into song (as they do occasionally), the tunes I found myself reaching for to make words into music in my head were nursery rhymes. Nonetheless, this is an interesting work, taking on shades of Stoppard and Gilliam in following Solider Boy as he traverses newly-minted fiction, lost fiction, speculative reality, and known reality. Based on what the introduction claims is the first known narrative adult film, now known only from stills and remakes, this tale in screenplay form fleshes out the skin flick by giving the male character a life before he comes on screen, and continues as he tries to move beyond it. It's convoluted and even confusing at times to be sure; I'll admit to backtracking more than once to suss out what was happening; even then, I'm sure it would make more sense on screen, or at least be forced into some sort of visual sense on its way there. I came upon The Good Inn while looking for new graphic novels to read, but while the art is sequential, it's rather too sparse to be a comic book; illustrations appear only every few pages. The art has a casual and expressive line to it, and in places can be absorbing as one tries to map text to image. It would be interesting to see this screenplay produced, even on a very small scale.

Enrique de Prusia (Berlín, 14 de agosto de 1862 - Barkelsby, 20 de abril de 1929), conocido familiarmente como Henry, era el hermano menor del emperador Guillermo II de Alemania. Hizo carrera de oficial de marina, ocupando diversos comandos de la Armada Imperial Alemana y, finalmente, fue ascendido al grado de Gran Almirante.

Primeros años de vida
Era el tercer hijo y segundo varón del príncipe heredero Federico Guillermo (futuro Federico III) y de la princesa Victoria de Sajonia-Coburgo-Gotha, hija mayor de la reina Victoria del Reino Unido.

Tras asistir al instituto de Kassel, en el que llegó al grado medio en 1877 a los 15 años de edad, Enrique entró en la Armada Imperial y fue entrenado como oficial. Su educación naval incluyó un viaje de dos años alrededor del mundo (de 1878 a 1880), el examen de oficial de la marina (Seeoffizierhauptprüfung) el 1 de octubre de 1880, y más tarde (1884 a 1886), la asistencia a la academia naval alemana. Se suponía que los estudiantes se graduarían durante los meses de invierno, tras el período de preparación.

Carrera naval
Como un Príncipe imperial, Enrique alcanzó rápidamente el mando. En 1887, mandó un torpedero y al mismo tiempo la Primera División de Barcos Torpederos; en 1888 el yate imperial ; entre 1889 y 1890, el crucero de segunda clase Irene, el acorazado de defensa costera Beowulf y los buques insignia  y .

Desde 1897, Enrique estuvo al cargo de algunas misiones militares, entre las que destacan el mandar una improvisada escuadra que tomó parte, con el Escuadrón de Asia oriental, en la represión de los disturbios en la región china de Kiautschou y ocupó luego el puerto de Tsingtao como una posesión del Imperio alemán (1897). El éxito del príncipe fue debido más a la diplomacia que a la campaña militar. Así se convirtió en el primer potentado europeo que era recibido en la corte imperial china. En 1899 pasó a ser oficialmente el comandante del Escuadrón de Asia Oriental, después de un escuadrón de buques insignia, y en 1903 comandante de la estación naval del mar Báltico. Desde 1906 a 1909, Enrique fue comandante de la Flota de Alta Mar. En 1909, fue ascendido a Gran Almirante.

Matrimonio e hijos
El 24 de mayo de 1888 Enrique se casó con su prima hermana, Irene de Hesse-Darmstadt, hija del Gran Duque Luis IV de Hesse y de Alicia del Reino Unido. El matrimonio tuvo tres hijos:

Al comienzo de la Primera Guerra Mundial, el príncipe Enrique fue nombrado Comandante en Jefe de la Flota del Báltico. Siendo los medios navales alemanes muy superiores a la Flota Rusa del Báltico, logró triunfar. Al finalizar las hostilidades con Rusia, su misión terminó, y el príncipe Enrique abandonó el servicio activo. Con el final de la guerra y la abolición de la monarquía en Alemania, el príncipe Enrique dejó la Marina.

Enrique tenía poco en común con su hermano, el emperador alemán. Carecía, por ejemplo, de la errática naturaleza de Guillermo y de su egoísmo. El príncipe fue realmente popular en Alemania, y por causa de su humildad y sus maneras abiertas era muy querido por los que estaban bajo sus órdenes. En sus viajes al extranjero era un buen diplomático, que, a diferencia de su hermano, fue capaz de encontrar el tono. Así, en 1902, en su viaje a los Estados Unidos, Enrique logró ganar la simpatía de la prensa americana, así como los corazones de la población germano-americana.

Como oficial de la marina, Enrique estaba completamente satisfecho de ello, pues amaba su situación. Recibió una de las primeras licencias de piloto de Alemania, y fue considerado como un activo y excelente marino. Tuvo gran interés en la tecnología moderna y fue capaz de entender rápidamente el valor práctico de las innovaciones técnicas.

Enrique estaba muy interesado en los automóviles y fue él, el que supuestamente inventó el limpiaparabrisas y, según otras fuentes, introdujo la bocina. En su honor se creó la Prinz-Heinrich-Fahrt (Carrera del príncipe Enrique) en 1908, al igual que el anterior Kaiserpreis, un precursor del Gran Premio de Alemania.

Enrique también fue partidario de la introducción de los submarinos y aviones en la marina. En el mar Báltico, tenía un vapor convertido en un portaaviones, para atacar a Rusia con las fuerzas aéreas de la marina.

Enrique respetaba a su hermano, pero esta actitud no fue recíproca. Ciertamente, Guillermo era intelectualmente superior. Mantuvo a su hermano menor lejos de la política, aunque Enrique actuó como su representante mientras el príncipe heredero era menor de edad. Enrique cumplió con ello, pero nunca encontró interés en la política. No fue capaz de ver los efectos que tendría la política alemana de construcción naval ni tampoco estaba en la posición de aconsejar a su hermano una política diferente.

Vida tras el fin del Imperio
Tras la Revolución Alemana de 1918-1919, Enrique se trasladó con su familia a Hemmelmark, cerca Eckernförde, en Schleswig-Holstein. Continuó con los deportes de motor y de vela, e incluso en la vejez obtuvo grandes éxitos en las regatas. Él popularizó la gorra conocida como la Prinz-Heinrich-Mütze ("gorra del príncipe Enrique").

En 1899, Enrique recibió un doctorado honoris causa en Ingeniería de la Universidad Técnica de Berlín. También en el extranjero recibió numerosos honores similares, incluyendo un doctorado honoris causa en 1902 por la Universidad Harvard.

Enrique contrajo matrimonio con su prima hermana la princesa Irene, nieta de la reina Victoria del Reino Unido, hermana de la zarina Alejandra de Rusia. De sus tres hijos, dos eran hemofílicos. Waldemar murió en 1945 a los 56 años. Su hermano Enrique falleció de una hemorragia a los 4 años tras una vida corta y apartada de la sociedad.

El príncipe Enrique murió al igual que su padre de un cáncer de garganta en 1929. En 1904 falleció su hijo Enrique (1900-1904), el menor. Años más tarde, en 1945 falleció Waldemar. Segismundo (1896-1978) contrajo matrimonio con la princesa Carlota y procrearon dos hijos: Bárbara (ya fallecida) y un varón, de nombre Alfredo, también conocido como príncipe Alfredo de Prusia Sajonia Altenburgo, quien vivió en Costa Rica, muy humildemente, y en medio de una gran controversia.

De esta familia real sobreviven las únicas dos hijas de Bárbara, quienes residen en Europa.

Ralston, NE - The Tri-City Storm dropped a road game to the Omaha Lancers by a final score of 4-2 Sunday at Ralston Arena. Colton Kalezic and Brendan Budy scored the Storm's goals in the loss. Despite the loss, Tri-City kept its 1st place position in the USHL league standings and will return home to the Viaero Center on Friday to host the Eastern Conference leading Muskegon Lumberjacks. Puck drop for the matchup is set for 7:05pm.
Colton Kalezic netted his 10th goal of the season just over seven minutes into the game to give Tri-City a 1-0 lead. Kalezic's goal was assisted by Ronnie Attard and Connor McMenamin. Omaha answered the Storm's opening goal with a tying goal at 13:46 of the 1st period. The goal was scored by Tyler Carpenter, and tied the game at 1-1. Kyle Kawamura scored his 2nd goal of the season on the power play at 17:17 of the 1st period to give the Lancers a 2-1 advantage. Omaha outshot Tri-City 14-9 and carried a one goal lead into the 2nd period.
No goals were scored in the 2nd period and Omaha increased its lead to two goals with under five minutes to play in the 3rd period. Tyler Carpenter scored his 2nd goal of the game to give the Lancers a 3-1 lead at the 15:43 mark of the period. Tri-City answered back with a shorthanded goal from Brendan Budy with 2:08 remaining in the game to bring the score back to within one goal. Omaha's Aleksi Peltonen scored his 6th goal of the season on an empty net goal at 18:37 to give Omaha a 4-2 win on home ice. Goaltender Jake Barczewski stopped 29 of 32 shots in the Storm's loss.
The Storm dropped to 25-7-1-1 in the loss and currently hold a one point lead over 2nd place Muskegon in the USHL league standings. Tri-City has won 14 of 17 home games this season, and plays host to Muskegon on Friday night. The game will feature the top two teams in the USHL league standings. Tickets to Friday's game can be purchased online at www.stormhockey.com, or by calling (308) 338-8144.

Assisi Underground (The Assisi Underground) è un film del 1985 di Alexander Ramati, tratto da un suo libro del 1978.

Il film è stato girato fra Assisi e Perugia, dove è ambientato. Uno dei protagonisti della vicenda, don Aldo Brunacci, ha collaborato al film come consulente storico.

Il film, trasmesso anche dalla Rai, ha ricevuto alcune critiche negative. Il Mereghetti, ad esempio, parla di "un dramma edulcorato e troppo romanzato".

Trama
Nel 1943 su incarico del vescovo di Assisi Giuseppe Placido Nicolini, padre Rufino Niccacci riesce a salvare un gruppo di ebrei italiani dalle deportazioni. Per un certo periodo riesce a nasconderli fra le suore di clausura, nonostante l'iniziale opposizione prudenziale di madre Giuseppina.

History of the Lake City Area Fire Protection District
On April 27, 1982, the voters of the Town of Lake City approved the formation of the Lake City Area Fire Protection District. E. Craig Graham, Gary Wysocki, James W. Dyson, Richard Terry Hall and Robert E. Hall were designated as the District's first Board of Directors. Lively balloting resulted in 77 votes being cast in favor of the new taxing district and 20 votes being cast in opposition. A mill levy of 4.0 was also approved.
After spending the rest of 1982 performing necessary legal and administrative functions, the Lake City Area Fire Protection District assumed the operations of the Lake City Volunteer Fire Department on January 1, 1983.
On November 1, 1987, after several years of hard work and investment by both the Lake City Area Fire Protection District and Lake City Area Water & Sanitation District, the District's ISO rating was upgraded from a Class 10 (unprotected) to a Class 7/9. This resulted in an almost immediate reduction of 30% or more in insurance premiums being paid by most District taxpayers. On January 21, 2002, the District's ISO rating was further upgraded to a Class 6/9.
The new fire station at 131 Henson Street was dedicated in July of 1993. Using a generous donation of land and cash from Pete and Bobbie Petersen, in addition to grant funding and the proceeds from a lease/purchase agreement, the Lake City Area Fire Protection District built Lake City's first stand alone fire station.
Today, the fire station houses modern fire apparatus and related equipment. Our volunteer firefighters undergo rigorous training and are provided with NFPA compliant personal gear. Efforts are once again underway to improve the District's ISO rating.

Southern & Northern Portions
The formation of a taxing entity was first discussed by the Lake City Board of Trustees early in 1980. The Trustees had identified an opportunity to significantly improve the community's "fire rating" (i.e. ISO rating) by establishing a special taxing district to provide funding to upgrade equipment and train and equip volunteer firefighters.
Many discussions and meetings about the formation of a fire protection district occurred over the next two years. The original boundaries of the proposed district included all of tax areas 1, 2 and 4 in Hinsdale County – nearly all territory in Hinsdale County that lies north and west of the Continental Divide. At one point, the new taxing district was envisioned as an "emergency services district" that would include not only fire protection, but emergency medical services and search and rescue as well.
However, concerns about limited funding and the ability of a new entity to provide multiple emergency services in such a large service area, lead the Town Trustees to undertake the formation of fire protection district whose boundary would be the corporate limits of the Town of Lake City.
Since 1983, many properties lying outside the limits of the Town of Lake City have been included in the Fire Protection District by individual property owners who have requested it. This practice has resulted in a boundary map that looks much like a patchwork quilt.

Men's Dating
Tablehopper™ Recommends 9 San Francisco Restaurants for Your Next Date Night or Special Occasion
The Short Version: Food writer Marcia Gagliardi, more commonly known as Tablehopper, churns out fresh restaurant news every Tuesday in her e-column. The San Franciscan's unabashed enthusiasm for food is clear in her every enthusiastic review of cafes, diners, bars, and other eateries. She loves telling people about new hot spots and hidden gems in the San Francisco area. She even makes personalized restaurant recommendations via her Tip Please service. Her consultations help people enjoy the best the city has to offer in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. If you're planning a date, Marcia is a knowledgeable guide with invaluable insights on where to go and what to eat.
A San Franciscan single started 2018 with a first date on his calendar, but there was one big problem: He hadn't been on a date in years. He felt nervous and unsure about where to take his new love interest, whose only request was she wanted to go somewhere dark, so he asked a friend, who just so happened to be a professional food writer known as Tablehopper, for a restaurant recommendation.
Freelance food writer Marcia Gagliardi started Tablehopper to give readers a taste of what's hot in San Francisco's restaurant scene.
Under the name Tablehopper, Marcia Gagliardi has spent decades exploring San Francisco's eateries. She knows all the best places to enjoy good food, good drinks, and good company, so she knew exactly where to send her friend. She told him to visit the Brazen Head, a dimly lit old-school pub that serves delicious grub in a low-key atmosphere.
He took his date there, and she loved it. They were both thrilled to have a secret spot to discover together. Because The Brazen Head doesn't have much of a sign out front, only locals who are in-the-know know about this spot. It's not usually crowded, and it stays open late (until 2.am. all week), so couples can spend hours lingering over their food. For first daters, it sure hits the spot.
Marcia was happy to help her friend have a successful date, and he's certainly not the only one who trusts her recommendations. She told us she gets at least one text a day from friends and relatives wondering where to eat in San Francisco. In fact, anyone can call her up or send an email to get her opinion on the local dining scene. Tip Please, her premium recommendation service, is like restaurant matchmaking; Marcia considers the individual's personal preferences and matches them with the right restaurant that'll give them the type of experience they're looking for.
On Tablehopper, Marcia writes more generalized columns about new restaurant openings and noteworthy places to go for drinks, appetizers, desserts, and anything in between. The e-column comes out with new content every Tuesday, and its juicy articles whet readers' appetites for the rest of the week.
Tablehopper's articles feature the best bites in town as well as upcoming events for foodies.
"I write Tablehopper like I'm writing to a friend," Marica said. "I like to focus on the places I think are doing great food, atmosphere, and service."
You can subscribe to Tablehopper to receive a weekly email newsletter packed with eye-catching morsels of information about restaurant openings, celebrity sightings, bar news, upcoming events, and other fresh pieces of gossip. Marcia said she has a substantial following in New York City, so she gives eateries on the East Coast a shout out once in a while.
"Some people call me a restaurant critic, but really I'm more of a columnist," she told us. "My whole thing is I want people in our city to have a great night out. Dating is hard enough, so I kind of love being people's secret weapon."
Get the Inside Scoop on Where to Go With Someone Special
When you're planning a date with someone special, a lot of factors go into picking the ideal date venue. Obviously, restaurants are a go-to date spot, but what kind of restaurant works best? People on first dates might prefer a bistro where they have an easy escape route, while more committed couples might want an upscale place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.
"Neighborhood places are great date spots," Marica told us. "A place that's been open for awhile might not be as impressive as the latest hot spot, but you're going to have a more enjoyable meal in a more polished and intimate space where you don't have a million people packed in."
Below, you'll find Marcia's top nine date-friendly restaurants for couples looking to explore the best of San Francisco's cuisine without breaking the bank.
1. 20 Spot: An Accessible First Date Spot
During the getting-to-know-you phase of dating, Marcia recommends taking a date to 20 Spot. The wine bar has a modern style and accessible bar that makes people feel at home — sometimes literally.
"You feel like you're in someone's cool apartment," Marcia told us. "Plus, they have some really great bar bites that go beyond the usual plates."

At 20 Spot, you can order steak tartare, deviled eggs, avocado toast, or a cheese plate to share with a date and pair it with a quality glass of wine chosen by the owner Bodhi Freedom. Just remember to save room for tiramisu.
2. La Folie Lounge: An Upscale French Dining Room
On the other side of town, La Folie Lounge is a popular hangout for people who live near Russian Hill. The contemporary lounge is an offshoot of the expensive and posh restaurant that has been delighting diners since 1988. The swanky and lively setting is great for infusing date nights with conversation and laughter — and some wine.
"When you're first going out on date, you don't want the restaurant to be too oppressively romantic or quiet," Marcia noted. "You want some activity around you, and that's what La Folie Lounge is like."
3. Petit Marlowe: An Intimate Wine & Oyster Bar
Petit Marlowe is a crowd pleaser, particularly among the ladies, because of its beautiful decor and upscale atmosphere. The Parisian-inspired wine bar and bistro is more on the expensive side, but you can stick with the small plates and partake in the oyster happy hour (from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) to keep your date on budget. It's a casual place to sit and eat or drink.
"I love, love, love this place. I could eat here all the time." — Kristina C. in a Yelp review of Petit Marlowe
Marcia encourages couples on first dates to try low-key places like Petit Marlowe because you don't have to linger there forever waiting for the meal to be over. It's not a three-course meal. It's just little bites and drinks. You could get a glass of wine and an appetizer and be out within an hour. It's unstructured so you have an easy out should you need it. Plus, the wine at Petit Marlowe can help the evening go more smoothly by keeping you from clamming up.
"Some people find a glass of wine can soothe those first-date jitters. It certainly can help get the conversation going sometimes," she said. "I think it's really smart to keep first dates on the casual side because you can always add more dishes or more wine if you think the date's going well."
4. A16: A Casual Wine Bar & Pizzeria
A16, located at the Marina, is a fun wine bar and Southern Italian restaurant for pizza fans and wine lovers in the San Francisco area. You can request seats at the chef's counter to watch hot, Neapolitan-style pizzas come out of the oven. From the pastas to the pizzas, these indulgent dishes are big enough to share with a date. As Marcia said, "Who doesn't like Italian food?"
Swing by the A16 for some wine, maybe a couple antipasti, and you can end up hanging out there for hours. Although sitting at the bar offers an intimate experience for daters, you can also request quieter tables in the pizzeria's back rooms. A16 usually fills up on weekend nights, so call ahead or go online to make a reservation.
5. Blue Plate: An Underrated & Longstanding Restaurant
Marcia said she's gone on a lot of fantastic dates at Blue Plate over the years. She typically requests a quiet table in the back seating area so she and her date can get to know one another in a more intimate setting. The menu has a good variety of comfort dishes and eclectic items so pretty much anyone can find something they like.
Blue Plate's fried chicken, made with jalapeño buttermilk dressing, will blow you away.
In the evenings, if it's not too cold, Marcia loves to sit outside and view the lush garden. It's a quiet oasis fostering connection and conversation. All in all, she considers Blue Plate a "consistently underrated restaurant that has stood the test of time."
6. Bix: A Glamorous & Romantic Supper Club
According to Marcia, "Bix is just sexy." The elegant decor transports diners back in time to a high-class saloon with Corinthian columns and long white tablecloths. You can try the restaurant's famous caviar on potato pillows or keep it simple with a black-truffle cheeseburger.
Jazz singers, piano players, and other musicians provide live entertainment and create a lovely atmosphere for anyone going to Bix on a date. You can stay in the action downstairs or get a booth upstairs for a more intimate romantic night.
"It's like a supper club," Marcia said. "It's been around for a while, and it has this old-school glamour that really makes for a great date. If you go to Bix, you're going to have a blast."
7. Petit Crenn: A Prix Fixe Tasting Menu
Located in Hayes Valley, Petit Crenn is one of Marcia's favorite casual restaurants because it maintains a chic yet approachable atmosphere. What makes it a great spot for daters is the nightly tasting menu that allows them to sample different plates for $79. If you straight-up love to try new foods, this is going to be your jam.
When you get the Petit Crenn's prix fixe menu, you don't have to sit there and worry about what to order because everything is pre-selected, and the plates give you something fun to try and experience with another person.
"You'll smell a hint of smoke and feel the heat from the busy grill in the kitchen, especially if you're sitting at the counter, where they offer an à la carte menu to walk-ins." — Marcia's Tablehopper review of Petit Crenn
If you want a prix fixe menu with less of a price tag, you can go to Trestle on North Beach. "Dating can be expensive, and you don't have to go out and spend $200," Marcia said. "What I like about Trestle is you get three courses for $38."
8. Hamano: A Little-Known Sushi Place
Sushi is one of most fun things to eat when you're on a date. It's elegant, it's light, and you don't have to worry about getting something stuck in your teeth. If you and your date are hungry for sushi, Marcia had a few recommendations, but her absolute favorite place is Hamano Sushi in Noe Valley. "It's just exquisite sushi," she said, "and a really fun way to impress a date, because you would never think that this extraordinary sushi restaurant is hiding away in such a small neighborhood."
She also recommended Mission Street's Ichi Sushi for an affordable and fun sushi meal, and downtown hot spot Akiko's for a more high-end Japanese restaurant. "You have to sit at the counter," she said of Akiko's. "That's the experience you want, so book it ahead of time."
9. The Alembic: A Vegan-Friendly Restaurant With a Full Bar
Last of all, Marcia had a special recommendation for vegan daters. In Haight-Ashbury, the Alembic is more well-known as a cocktail bar, but it has a side room where it plates up dishes for veggie lovers and meat eaters alike. Whether you're a vegan or you're dating a vegan, you'll love the varied menu at the Alembic.
"It's the perfect little hideaway spot that everyone can come together and be happy at," Marcia said. "The chef is fantastic, and the food is all farm fresh and just beautiful."
Tip Please: Personalized Recommendations for Today's Diners
When she started writing her Tablehopper column, Marcia would give out restaurant recommendations for free; all she would ask was that people follow up with her and tell her how they'd liked the restaurant. She enjoys sharing her love of food with people and giving little-known, off-the-beaten-path restaurants a boost. However, her recommendations take a lot of time and effort because she personalizes them to individual tastes and needs.
"I wish it was faster," she said, "but restaurants are very personal. It's just a matter of finding what's going to be the right fit."
To make it worth the time she invests, Marcia now charges $25 for a restaurant consultation by email and $30 by phone. Her Tip Please service is incredibly popular because people want a spot-on recommendation from someone who knows the area and understands different dining needs.

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary or planning a romantic getaway to San Francisco, Marcia can point you toward excellent dining establishments to suit your needs. In a short-but-sweet consultation, Marcia offers a variety of insider's tips, including what dishes to order and what tables to ask for.
Over the years, Marcia has compiled her restaurant knowledge and advice in her book: "The Tablehopper's Guide to Dining and Drinking San Francisco."
In the pages of this book, you'll find hundreds of classic restaurant recommendations for every possible occasion. She dedicates an entire chapter to romantic dating spots for couples from all walks of life.
Whatever your budget or time constraints, Marcia can direct you to a high-quality dining experience in San Francisco. Even if you don't live in the city, you can turn to Marcia to help you create a custom itinerary to make any foodie's mouth water.
"We all work hard, and a lot of us are out here in this world looking for connection," she said, "and, for me, there's no greater place to connect than at a table over food."
Tablehopper's e-Column Highlights the Best Local Eateries
When Marcia's friend needed a date location, he trusted Tablehopper to take stock of the situation and make a suggestion that would set him up for success. And it worked. He and his date had a fantastic time at Brazen Head because the restaurant's casual atmosphere, soft lighting, and decadent food is enough to make anyone loosen up and crack a smile.
Marcia knows how powerful a connector food can be, and she loves helping people find romance by indulging their senses at an eclectic or classic restaurant. "I've dated some guys where we really just ate so well together," she said with a laugh. "We had so much fun eating together. It creates this extra layer of connection and passion."
Whether you live in San Francisco or are just visiting, you can consult Tablehopper's reviews any time you're looking to go out to eat in the Bay Area.
"I think that where you go and how you eat does say a lot about who you are, and so you want to find that common ground," she said. "I really want my readers to have a memorable night at a restaurant that provides this fantastic backdrop for their moment."

More aid to LDCs and less to the Pacific?
by Terence Wood
Aid to Least Developed Countries
Written by	Terence Wood
Do Australia and New Zealand focus enough aid on Least Developed Countries?
'Least Developed Country' (LDC) is an official United Nations category denoting countries thought to be in most need of official development assistance and related help. Whether a country is considered an LDC depends on its GNI per capita, health and education indicators, and vulnerability. These are pretty sensible criteria. If you look at the official list of LDCs, some oddities emerge: Samoa was an LDC up until 2014; Papua New Guinea isn't an LDC. But mostly, the list contains the countries you would anticipate.
Figure 1 shows the share of the country allocable aid (aid traceable to a particular recipient country) that Australia and New Zealand have allocated to LDCs over time. Countries becoming LDCs (or graduating from LDC status) affects year-on-year changes – Samoa's graduation explains the fall in New Zealand's aid to LDCs in 2014 for instance – but changes in LDC status are rare, and their impacts usually minor.
Figure 1: Share of Australian and New Zealand aid going to least developed countries
Over the medium term, there is a modest upwards trend in the extent to which Australia has focused on LDCs. No trend exists for New Zealand. Both donors' LDC focus fell in 2018.
How do Australia and New Zealand compare internationally? The next chart shows OECD DAC donors, using 2016-18 averages. (2018 is the most recent year the OECD has data for.) I haven't followed the OECD's practice of estimating how much of a donor's non-earmarked aid to multilateral organisations goes to LDCs and adding that to donors' totals. I can't do this and examine the Pacific as I do later in the blog. Australia and New Zealand don't give much non-earmarked aid to multilaterals so, if anything, my approach makes the two countries look better than they otherwise would.
Figure 2: Australian and New Zealand aid to LDCs compared internationally
(2016-18 averages)
Australia and New Zealand focus less on LDCs than most of their Development Assistance Committee (DAC) counterparts. Both lag behind Italy, the median donor.
Why is this the case? In short, the answer is the Pacific. Figure 3 shows Australia and New Zealand's LDC focus inside and outside of the Pacific.
Figure 3: Australian and New Zealand aid to LDCs, the Pacific and elsewhere
When our aid to the Pacific is excluded, both Australia and New Zealand focus more on LDCs than the median DAC donor (although in Australia's case the gap is not large).
If we gave less aid to the Pacific we could focus more aid on places where it's needed most. Should we?
It's easy to make the case we should. Aid is probably less effective in the Pacific. Need – at least as captured by LDC status – is lower in the region. And, as I'll show (along with a co-author) in a forthcoming paper, aid fragmentation is increasing in the Pacific. Quite possibly, we'd contribute more to the task of tackling poverty globally if we gave less to the Pacific and more to the poorest parts of the world.
A counterargument can also be made though. Most of the world's LDCs are in Africa. While there are LDCs in the Pacific, three may well graduate in the next five years. If Australia and New Zealand's aid focus is guided primarily by LDC status, our aid will shift away from the Pacific. Yet in parts of the western Pacific – particularly Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea – development challenges are real and progress is slow. Even those Pacific countries facing less acute development challenges can meaningfully benefit from assistance. Particularly as they increasingly feel the effects of climate change.
Australia and New Zealand are also the largest donors in the Pacific. If we continue to build our expertise in the region's countries, we might become true Pacific specialists too. It's always possible we could grow substantial expertise on the most vulnerable parts of Africa, but I'm doubtful we'll ever do this well. So perhaps we should specialise, focus on helping our neighbours, and get good at it. Outside of the Pacific, we could then focus almost entirely on need, giving primarily through multilateral organisations and NGOs that have global expertise.
This is a plausible defence of prioritising a Pacific focus over a focus on LDCs. Yet as a justification for good aid policy, it's dependent on two crucial aspects of aid practice. It requires Australia and New Zealand to genuinely target need in the Pacific and not be distracted by side issues such as geopolitics. It also requires Australia and New Zealand to be genuinely learning oriented, adaptive and always striving to improve.
If these practices become integral to our aid giving in the region, a Pacific focus strikes me as fine. If they do not, the question needs to be asked – why aren't Australia and New Zealand focusing more aid elsewhere, where it's needed most?

Terence Wood
Terence Wood is a Research Fellow at the Development Policy Centre. His research focuses on political governance in Western Melanesia, and Australian and New Zealand aid.
Jim Adams says:
Terence – As someone who has worked in Africa and the Pacific, there is an additional point that would argue that the Australian (and New Zealand) focus on the Pacific is particularly important relative to an increased focus on least developed countries. While you make the correct point that Australia and New Zealand are the largest donors in the Pacific, you also need to recognize that the actual number of bilateral donors in the Pacific is very modest relative to the number of donors in most LDCs. In particular, the absence of European donors in the Pacific creates a dependence on Australia and New Zealand support which is markedly larger than the dependence of nearly all African states on individual bilateral donors. In my work in East Africa, donor coordination typically involved over twenty bilateral programs, providing a level of bilateral support and options of donor approaches which exists nowhere in the Pacific. While this dependence has a variety of costs and benefits, it also needs to be an important factor in the aid strategies of the two dominant donors in the region.
Terence Wood says:
Thanks Jim,
That's a good point. I have a forthcoming paper on aid fragmentation in the Pacific based on Lowy data, and — when I did the analysis with a colleague — I was astounded how many donors were in the Pacific.
Nevertheless, Australia (in particular) and NZ are still dominant. And our dominance, combined with fewer alternatives, needs to be factored into decisions.

yamaha dt125 dirt bike project?
I saw a motorbike online that I liked the look of...It was a Yamaha DT125 MK2 with racing reeds, handguards, ect (picture below). I am thinking about doing something similar to take around a dirt track.
There aren't many, but there are a few cheap DT125's in my area. I am also on a very small budget so this may be an on going project over the next few months or so, depending on how cheap I can get the bike for. The bike will only be used every 2/3 weeks when I take it to a dirt track, so I don't want to do too much to it, or spend too much money any way.
For the bike itself? Around £600/700. The reason I am thinking about the dt125 is because I am now considering riding it on the road as well, so obviously the bike would have to be road legal. I have see a few dt125's around £500/600 on things like Facebook.
It will be an on going project, so parts will be added/upgraded as and when I have the money to do so.

CLEMSON — The Clemson baseball team's series opener with Georgia Tech at Doug Kingsmore Stadium was suspended after the eighth inning on Friday because of a weather delay.
The game will resume Saturday at 4 p.m. with the score 7-7 and the Yellow Jackets coming to bat. Game 2 of the series will start at 6:30 p.m. or 45 minutes after Game 1.
With two on and two outs in the bottom of the eighth Friday, Clemson pinch hitter Robert Jolly struck out to end the inning, and the game was immediately stopped at 9:19 p.m.
Clemson struck first with two runs in the second inning, thanks to a pair of errors. Eli White hit an RBI fielder's choice that scored Chris Okey, and Reed Rohlman scored on the same play from second on a throwing error.
Georgia Tech got a run back in the top of the third when Connor Justus hit a two-out solo homer to left field off Clemson starter Charlie Barnes. The Yellow Jackets tied the Tigers in the fifth on an RBI single by Matt Gonzalez and took a 3-2 lead when Kel Johnson hit an RBI double in the next at-bat.
Georgia Tech tacked on three more runs to take a 6-2 lead in the sixth. Two of those runs came on a double by Arden Pabst and were charged to Barnes.
Clemson rallied, though, with a five-run seventh. With two on and two outs, center fielder Ryan Peurifoy slipped while catching a fly ball, allowing Chris Williams to score the third run of the game for the Tigers. After Seth Beer was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Okey came through with a bases-clearing double to right field that got Clemson within 7-6, and it tied the game on Rohlman's RBI single in the next at-bat.
