I'm not trying to be more Native than I am. Less white than I am. I'm trying to be honest about what I have to include. More often than not I've introduced myself as half Native. I know what people want to know as soon as I say that I'm Native: How much? I watch them wait to see what I'll say about it. They don't want to have to ask, and they know I don't want to have to say it. They're testing me that way, so when the quiet between us becomes too much for me, I mumble out the side of my mouth: From my dad's side. The other half of me is apparent. My skin is light and I have freckles. I'm brown around the summer months and whiter in the winter. But I look like my dad if you saw me next to him. We have the same head and body. Same barrel chest, same nose. I reference my dad when I bring up being Native because I'm always doing it, qualifying my quantity. My amount. Where it comes from. And it's never enough. Too many claim great-grandparents. People are tired of hearing about great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents even more so. It's too much math. Do I think we shouldn't include smaller fractions in the definition of what it means to be Native? I don't know. What I do know is that if I don't include the amount that I am, people assume less. So if asked whether or not I'm Native, I say yeah, and then, maybe sadly, maybe with assertion, maybe both, I say: half.
Those with less than half lose more than half the battle at the outset. One Native grandparent equals one-quarter blood quantum. Should someone with this amount not be allowed to identify as Native, if their grandmother raised them? If they didn't even know that grandparent? What about great-great-grandparents? That's an eighth — if there's only one. What equations make sense to keep doing? How come math isn't taught with stakes? There are Natives enrolled in tribes with less than a 30 second's worth of Native blood in them — as in, less than 30 seconds after hearing about that kind of low-percentage ancestry, you'll probably have dismissed them as faking. You. Everyone.
There are full-blooded Native people raised by white families in white communities who don't know a thing about what it means to be Native or how to live in such a way as to be identified as such.
How come math isn't taught with stakes?
Walking between worlds is an old Native half-breed trope. I've never felt that I've walked in two worlds. The half-world feels more like being pulled apart and told to speak in singular terms — to pick a side. Actively identifying as a Native person if you have a valid claim is important work — an act against systematically designed erasure.
That's about 4% less than half. According to a poll conducted by the Atlantic, 4% of Americans believe lizard people control politics. So I'm that amount of crazy Americans short of being half Native American.
But I'm not half, technically. I can't, for example, technically call myself biracial. I'd have to include 1/32 Sioux* blood and 1/64 German blood. I know this because my dad knows this. Growing up they called him Vehoe. It means white man. It also means spider, and references a mythological trickster figure. He told me I'm less than half. He didn't mean it in any way. My dad's an engineer. Exact math matters to him. As it does to all of us who have to figure out the kind of math involved in the equation: Enough Blood times Not Enough Blood equals eligibility or ineligibility for tribal enrollment and therefore citizenship in a sovereign nation.
But I am half Native — Cheyenne — from my dad. This half of me is a cutting fraction, which cuts if I rub up against it too firmly, if I slide my finger along its edge. Halving is the beginning of erasure. I'm doing it here again. Qualifying myself. Worried about what you will think of me.
Actively identifying as a Native person if you have a valid claim is important work — an act against systematically designed erasure.
I had a son in 2011. He'd be a quarter. The last in my line to be able to call himself Cheyenne, officially. He would have been. But he is an eighth Cheyenne. An eighth nothing.
We are very clear with our son at home. He knows he's Native. But what that will mean for him in 20 years, I don't know. And what it will mean for his children?
There is something you'd never know about if you weren't Native or had a close Native relation or friend. It's called the CDIB. Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood. This is a real, actual, official piece of paper with a record writ in fraction how much "Indian blood" I have. An official document about an amount of blood in my body. Which is a metaphor. But it isn't. It's real. We don't have enough blood to keep going for our people. It stops. Ends. My son won't have a CDIB.
As it is, I am an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. On my Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood it says I am one-quarter Cheyenne. One-fourth. The one indicates a person who did not die. Who was not killed. Whose blood has since thinned, and is more than probably on the way down that sloping line. To the stopping point.
* Most Lakota people I've met don't like to be called Sioux because it's the given white name, but when I asked my dad if we're Lakota or Dakota or Nakota, he just said, "The way my grandma told it to me, we're Sioux." There was an And that's that feel to the way he said it.

Why University of Arizona's Dance Program Is the Ultimate Prep for Company Life
Dance Magazine
If you think becoming a trainee or apprentice is the only path to gaining experience in a dance company environment, think again.
The University of Arizona, located in the heart of Tucson, acclimates dancers to the pace and rigor of company life while offering all the academic opportunities of a globally-ranked university. If you're looking to get a head-start on your professional dance career—or to just have a college experience that balances company-level training and repertory with rigorous academics—the University of Arizona's undergraduate and graduate programs have myriad opportunites to offer:
The pace of your day and semester model a company schedule.
"At Charlotte Ballet, we typically went to class at 10 am, followed by six hours of rehearsal or one or two performances," says Gregory Taylor, who came to University of Arizona to study dance and optics after five seasons with the company. "At UA, the schedule is pretty similar. Instead of one block of rehearsal, I may be in an academic class or lab, but there's absolutely the same rigor as company life."
In fact, a year in the life of a university dancer functions much like a company season. "In the professional world, you work, rehearse and build up to a few weekends of shows, and then you quickly move on to the next piece or performance," says Hayley Meier, a grad student in the university's MFA program who also completed her BFA at the school in 2009. She danced with River North Dance Chicago for five seasons in between. The sheer number of performances at UA—five productions and 40 performances a year in their own theater, where they have a strong subscriber base—ensures that students get used to a nonstop pace, she says.
Perhaps this is why so many students go directly from graduation into varied careers with the likes of Paul Taylor Dance Company, Giordano Dance Chicago, and Sacramento Ballet, or the casts of West Side Story and Cirque du Soleil. "The students' education is tailored toward being able to step into a professional environment and know the ropes," says Autumn Eckman, an assistant professor of dance. "From day one, they're learning how to budget their time and manage a schedule. Conditioning and self-care are built into daily technique classes, and even though we are a large program, the faculty's doors are always open. They become adaptable, which is so necessary in today's dance industry."

You'll be taking company-level classes with and from the pros.
Faculty members come from the professional dance world—and their expectations are high. "The dancers are not treated any differently than they would be in a company environment, and they rise to the occasion," she says. "This is the hands-on, personal attention you'd get as an apprentice or trainee."
Students can immerse themselves in ballet, modern, jazz and improvisation. And with a 2:1 ratio of women to men, they gain strong experience in partnering. "It's equivalent to or better than company class," says Taylor.
"The graduate students are also wonderfully integrated with the undergrads," says Eckman. "These are dancers who come from diverse professional careers, bring a fresh perspective and maybe want to launch their own companies someday." Grad students teach and choreograph, but they're also right there at the barre, so BFA students can see how a pro takes class.
Hayley Meier
The academic environment facilitates and encourages creative exploration.
Many UA dance majors are double majors or pursue a minor in a completely different field. "You'd be surprised how one course of study can actually facilitate another," Eckman says. Plus, students and faculty regularly collaborate across departments: Eckman herself has created original work with the harp faculty member at the school of music and an MFA student in the art department.
Considering that companies are full of artists with side projects and diverse passions, there's no reason to put your other interests on ice for four years. Taylor just finished a project where he sent a small payload with a camera to the edge of our atmosphere using a weather balloon, and he's converting the video to virtual reality so anyone can travel to space.

Diverse repertory and perspectives help you mature as a performer.
Not only are students working with faculty and guest artists on original works each semester, but dancers also switch gears quickly to learn an impressive range of repertory. In the past few years alone, they've performed works by Christopher Wheeldon, Alexei Ratmansky, Jessica Lang, George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Martha Graham, José Limón and Nacho Duato. "The diversity of the rep is what drew me to the university in the first place," says Meier. "I knew a traditional ballet company probably wasn't the right place for me, but at Arizona I could take ballet five days a week and still experience so much of what else is out there."
This exposure helps dancers to develop skills they'll need on the job, like collaboration and a deep sense of their own artistry, without stumbling through their first months in a company to get it. But new challenges are also a draw for experienced professional dancers going back to school. "These are choreographers I wasn't even exposed to as a professional dancer," adds Meier, "so coming in as a grad student doesn't feel like a step backwards."

Here in the Northeast we've missed spring completely. Our weather can be summed up in two words: Damp and Cold.
In keeping with our positive, forward looking spirits, we're planning for a warm, sunny holiday weekend. Let the picnics begin!
Wine tastes better from a glass! Buy some inexpensive summer wine glasses and say "no thank you" to plastic.
Ditto for silverware and plates: Your local Goodwill (or favorite thrift shop) always has silverware that's quite cheap. Who CARES if it matches?? Or, choose from the wide assortment of compostable plates and dinnerware that are now on the market. The bottom line is that products that we use once shouldn't be on the planet forever.
Check your candles for chemicals: Ingredients in your citronella candles can include petrochemicals and artificial fragrances. These candles, while quite effective for bugs, can also irritate eyes and aggravate allergies & asthma! They're also considered to be poisonous to dogs.
Single use plastic water bottles are SO last year. Get with the program and bring water in BPA-free, reusable containers. Your local water (probably) tastes better and it's safer for you and your family.
Local food is yummy food! Grow your own or support local farms & farmers markets. Find the market nearest you with the farmers market finder (over to the right on this page).
Do you have more suggestions? Tell us about your green picnic plans and we'll post them here or on our Facebook page. We'd love to hear from you!
Thanks again to Mary Jones!

A coupled continuum/discrete crack model for strain softening materials is implemented in a meshfree particle code. A coupled damage plasticity constitutive law is applied until a certain strain based threshold value - this is at the maximum tensile stress of the equivalent uniaxial stress strain curve - is reached. At this point a discrete crack is introduced and described as an internal boundary with a traction crack opening relation. Within the frame-work of meshfree particle methods it is possible to model the transition from the continuum to the discrete crack since boundaries and particles can easily be added and removed. The EFG method and an explicit time integration scheme is used. The integrals are evaluated by nodal integration, an integration with stress points and also a full Gauss quadrature. Some results are compared to experimental data and show good agreement. Additional comparisons are made to a pure continuum constitutive law.

I've been to Gaia twice. On the first visit, I was really just looking for the ayahuasca experience, without varmints. And there weren't any varmints, except the cute ones, like fireflies and hummingbirds. It's a nice place, beautiful, if that matters, and civilized. It's also authentic. Sometimes I wished it was less authentic, but in the end I was grateful. I expected it to be infested with bliss-junkies, eco-Nazis and nutrition-trolls, but it wasn't. I mean, as you know, enlightened people tend to be insufferable. That's the thing; they were just lovely people, the crew included. The kind of people that you wish your friends, family and colleagues were like. All of the material attributes that get assigned to us, things like social rank, gender, age, appearance, education, etc., seem trivial and impertinent at Gaia. For me, that's a big deal. Apart from the medicines, that's why I went back. I wanted to see if that first group that I was with wasn't just a fluke. It wasn't. The second group was just as nice and just as fascinating. Probably not a coincidence.
Maybe it's because Christine, the director, sets an example; it's certainly not by edict or dogma. She has a massively impressive spiritual tool-belt. And maybe it's the medicines; it's a custom-fit for whatever you bring. Ayahuasca isn't a joyride and no one understands what that even means without the experience of it. For me, it was an actual medical healing. For most people, it's an emotional or, if you prefer, a neurological healing. Everybody gets a bump in consciousness. Everybody. The ceremonies and the shamans are devout, cool, reverential and caring. Also beautiful. A lot more than you would expect. You may come in feeling like you are living your life like an extra in somebody else's movie but you leave as the star of your own movie. Even if you think of life as a mere amusement park, this is the one ride you don't want to skip. I view Gaia Sagrada as a paradigm of social harmony. That would be a lot to live up to and at no time did I ever hear Christine refer to it as such, but for me at least, it's a very bright light in a dimming world.


Components and options for laying out your Boosted project, including wrapping containers, a powerful grid system, a flexible media object, and responsive utility classes.
Containers are the most basic layout element in Boosted and are required when using our default grid system. Choose from a responsive, fixed-width container (meaning its max-width changes at each breakpoint) or fluid-width (meaning it's 100% wide all the time).
While containers can be nested, most layouts do not require a nested container.
Use .container-fluid for a full width container, spanning the entire width of the viewport.
Since Boosted is developed to be mobile first, we use a handful of media queries to create sensible breakpoints for our layouts and interfaces. These breakpoints are mostly based on minimum viewport widths and allow us to scale up elements as the viewport changes.
Boosted primarily uses the following media query ranges—or breakpoints—in our source Sass files for our layout, grid system, and components.
Note that since browsers do not currently support range context queries, we work around the limitations of min- and max- prefixes and viewports with fractional widths (which can occur under certain conditions on high-dpi devices, for instance) by using values with higher precision for these comparisons.
There are also media queries and mixins for targeting a single segment of screen sizes using the minimum and maximum breakpoint widths.
Several Boosted components utilize z-index, the CSS property that helps control layout by providing a third axis to arrange content. We utilize a default z-index scale in Bootstrap that's been designed to properly layer navigation, tooltips and popovers, modals, and more.
These higher values start at an arbitrary number, high and specific enough to ideally avoid conflicts. We need a standard set of these across our layered components—tooltips, popovers, navbars, dropdowns, modals—so we can be reasonably consistent in the behaviors. There's no reason we couldn't have used 100+ or 500+.
We don't encourage customization of these individual values; should you change one, you likely need to change them all.
To handle overlapping borders within components (e.g., buttons and inputs in input groups), we use low single digit z-index values of 1, 2, and 3 for default, hover, and active states. On hover/focus/active, we bring a particular element to the forefront with a higher z-index value to show their border over the sibling elements.


One of the most controversial engagements of the Civil War was the storming of Bolton by Royalist forces under the command of Prince Rupert on 28 May 1644—an action in which both Sir Thomas Tyldesley 1612-1651 and the Earl of Derby were involved. The initial assault failed, but the town was taken in a second attack, with much bloodshed.
Subsequent propaganda from the Parliamentarians termed this significant loss of life "the Bolton Massacre".
Why was the storming of Bolton marked by such deep enmity? There appear to be at least two factors in play. First, many of the Parliamentarians in the Bolton garrison had previously been involved in the unsuccessful first siege of Lathom House—the seat of the Earl of Derby, which had been ably defended by Charlotte Stanley, Countess of Derby. Second, after the failed first assault on Bolton, the Parliamentarians had hanged—in full view of the Royalists—a captured Captain, in the apparently erroneous belief that he was "an Irish Papist". No doubt this would have particularly enraged the Catholics in the Royalist forces—including those serving under Sir Thomas Tyldesley.
May 25. Prince Rupert assaulted and took Stepford, a strong Garrison of the Rebels in Cheshire, together with all their canon, most of their Armes and Ammunition, and about 800 of them prisoners. Hereupon Latham house after at least 18 weeks siege, was timely releived by his highnesse Prince Ruperts approach into those parts.
May 28. His Highnesse Prince Rupert summoned Bolton, (the Geneva of Lancashire as the brethren call it) the first Towne in that County and consequently in England, that put in execution the militia, as the readiest means to ruine the Kingdome. But they out of a zealous confidence hanged one of the Princes Capt: which they had not long before taken prisoner, whereupon the Prince stormed the town, & in the 2 attempt took it, wherein were kild at least 800 rebels, 600 prisoners taken, with al their colours, Ordnance, Armes, and Ammunition. The justice of which act was foreseen by master Booker, who about this time had noted it in his Almanack thus, Authores dissentionum & sang uinus profusionum, absque dubio mercede sua mulctabuntur.
As noted in a later post, after Bolton Sir Thomas Tyldesley obtained leave from the King to proceed to Preston with 2,000 men.

Q: I need Expert Advice on this implementation of UITabBarController I am currently in need of 8 TabBarItems, and I can show just 4 items in view. And I need to be able to scroll to the next 4 tabBarItems.
In the default behavior of the UITabBar, you normally get a 'MORE' tabbaritem for more than 5 tab bar items. I want it to be the Scroll Button in place of the MORE button.
So ~ ~If I press the scroll button (or the fifth) tabBarItem, it should display 4 more tab bar items with a back scroll button.
These are my ways of doing this - -

*

*Implementing a Scroll UITabBarItems but this would mean I have to work on the project from scratch, and this is not my best option.

*I can push view controller on the final tab and show a new view with 4 tab bar icons, and work on that.  (Having trouble with pushing a tab bar controller from a tab bar controller)

*I can make present a modal view controller for the next four tabs and pop it when I press back scroll button. (Having trouble with setting up a tabbarcontroller as a present modal view controller)

*Removing all views from the tabBarViewController array and adding new ones when the corresponding tab is clicked. And again reloading the same tabs when previous tab is clicked. What are the complications of these ? I do not wish to disturb the rootController.
Anything else you can think of ?
Whatever approach I take, I need sliding animation between the two views.
I would appreciate it if anyone could offer expert advice on what can be done.
Thanks.

A: I only see two good options:

*

*Throw tabs down the drain, accept what that eight options is too much for a tab bar. Instead go for a top level selection screen. Use a table view with a list, or a home screen like grid of options.

*Bite the bullet and implement your own LGInfiniteTabBarController, including a LGInfiniteTabBar, that actually have the behavior you want. There is no standard control for what you want.

A: You could receive the delegate – tabBarController:didSelectViewController: and if it's an edge view controller, perform an animation and switch out your tabbarcontrollers viewcontrollers.
You would have an empty viewcontroller which has a tabbar items that says 'Next' or 'Prev' or whatever, and you manage the separate arrays's of view controllers with the empty viewcontroller in whichever tabs would show more. Then just swap in the proper viewcontrollers when the user uses that tab.

Q: Why am I getting java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException So basically, I'm trying to make a grid of 144 buttons (12x12) by making 12 rows down with 12 buttons along each row.
However, when I try to run, I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
    at progrid.me.myname.grid.ProGrid.main(ProGrid.java:23)

Here's the code:
package progrid.me.myname.grid;

import javax.swing.*;

public class ProGrid extends JFrame {
    /**
     *
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public static void main(String[] arguments) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame(); //Create the frame
        frame.pack();
        frame.setResizable(false);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setTitle("My ProGrid remake");
        frame.setSize(300, 300);

        JPanel[] row = new JPanel[12];
    for(int i = 0; i < 12; i++){
        frame.add(row[i]);
            row[i].setBounds(0, i*25, 300, 25);
            row[i].setVisible(true);

            for(int j = 0; i < 12; i++){
                JButton[] button = new JButton[j]; //Make 12 new JButtons (button[0] - button[12]) for each row
                row[i].add(button[j]);
                button[j].setBounds(i*25, 0, 25, 25);
                button[j].setVisible(true);

            }
        }

    }

}

Line 23 is this:
frame.add(row[i]);

Which probably means this won't work either:
row[i].add(button[j]);

So could anyone give me a little shove in the right direction?
I'm not asking for you to dump code at me, I'm actually trying to learn. But some help would be great. Thanks!
EDIT Fixed the first problem, now I'm getting java.lang.NullPointerException on line frame.add(row[i]);

A: problem:
JPanel[] row = new JPanel[i];

You are creating a new array of JPanel and JButton in each iteration of your loop, which results in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on the first iteration of your loop for i=0 when it executes JPanel[] row = new JPanel[0]; frames.add(row[0]);
solution:
For both arrays, create only one instance of the array outside the loop, and update that instance in each iteration of the loop. Here's an example for the JPanel array:
JPanel[] row = new JPanel[12]; //Make 12 new JPanels (row[0] - row[12])
for(int i = 0; i < row.length; i++){
        frame.add(row[i]);
        row[i].setBounds(0, i*25, 300, 25);
        row[i].setVisible(true);

EDIT:
JPanel[] row = new JPanel[12];
    for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
        row[i] = new JPanel();
        frame.add(row[i]);
        row[i].setBounds(0, i * 25, 300, 25);
        row[i].setVisible(true);

        JButton[] button = new JButton[12];
        for (int j = 0; i < 12; i++) {
            button[j] = new JButton();
            row[i].add(button[j]);
            button[j].setBounds(i * 25, 0, 25, 25);
            button[j].setVisible(true);

        }
    }

A: Row[0] to row[12] will create 13 rows. Make it row[11]

Equine healthcare manufacturer produce hand sanitizer to combat COVID-19, with Adelphi filling machine
Adelphi Manufacturing's customer Connolly's Red Mills is a leading name in the animal feeds, agri-services and equine healthcare products industries. They develop and manufacture their products at a state-of-the-art site in beautiful Goresbridge, Ireland, with 50% of the grain used in all feeds grown locally.
From humble beginnings in 1908, Connolly's Red Mills have expanded onto the world stage, and in 2012 they became the first feed company to secure a license to import horse feed into mainland China. Their on-site testing laboratories quality-test every ingredient upon arrival, and monitor for Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances through every step of their feed-making processes.
Their latest – and arguably most remarkable – venture has been to begin producing hand sanitizers, to play their part in the worldwide fight against Coronavirus (COVID-19). Adelphi are proud to have been alongside Connolly's Red Mills during this journey, to assist with their production expansion.
After meeting Adelphi Manufacturing's Sales Director Dean Willis at the Process & Packaging Machinery (PPMA) Show in September 2018, Connolly's Red Mills' Operations Director John Walsh completed the purchase of a Response Benchtop Filler in 2019. The filler is versatile, hygienic and easy to use, and a single head is suitable for filling liquids, pastes and solids-in-suspension in to all types of container. Thanks to three standard sizes of honed pump sets, fill volumes can range from 10ml to 1 litre in a single shot, with exceptional filling accuracy of ± 0.25%.
After taking the decision in early 2020 to mobilise the resources at his disposal to produce badly needed hand sanitizers, John says that the confidence instilled by his first purchase meant that he was immediately comfortable purchasing a second Response Benchtop Filler to assist production. "It's a simple machine that does what it says it will", he says.
The Response can be configured to be suitable for use in ATEX Zone 1 Category IIB 2G c T5 (100C), and when fitted with EPDM seals, it can fill high ethanol content gels, including hand sanitizers.
"Dean understood the urgency of the situation", says John. "I was able to get through to him any time I needed".
This Response ATEX Filler is now being used to fill 250ml, 500ml and 5L containers of hand sanitizer, for use in the front-line fight against COVID-19. It was delivered 5 working days after the order was placed, and John enthuses that "it arrived mostly assembled, so was up and running within a couple of hours of delivery".
When the current situation returns to relative normality, John looks forward to using his new ATEX Response Filler to fill Connolly's Red Mills' other liquid based products, including oils, and their equine healthcare products.
Are you looking for speedy delivery of an intuitive machine, to help produce hand sanitizers or other personal hygiene products? Adelphi Manufacturing have many items available off-the-shelf, and have taken the decision to remain open in this challenging situation, to continue to assist businesses such as Connolly's Red Mills, who require our products and services. Don't hesitate to contact us today on +44 (0)1444 472300 or email info@adelphi.uk.com.

The report has galvanized Windsorites because of concern over the location of the plant and that the plant in reality is just some kind of incinerator. In a city with the highest unemployment rate in the country and with a skimpy recycling system in place – for instance we have no organic waste collection as many other cities have – the fear is the city will accept any project on the grounds it will create jobs and the city would not have to bother expanding its recycling capabilities. A meeting of concerned activists will have occurred August 17 at 11 AM at the Citizens Environmental Alliance to discuss this announcement and the fact that incinerator operators are on the prowl for places to set up shop.
In the second half hour we heard from Derek Coronado, coordinator of the Citizens Environment Alliance on this issue and the state of Windsor's recycling program.
On Monday, Aug. 13, non-union workers at Klinec Manufacturing walked off the job after being told to take a $3 an hour pay cut from $13.80 an hour to the minimum wage of $10.75. A neighbour who has led campaigns against this company, for trucks on the residential street for example, saw the workers gathering outside the plant and alerted CAW representative Ken Lewenza Jr. I became involved as a worker advocate at the Windsor Workers' Action Centre after hearing media reports and was invited to a strategy meeting with the workers on Tuesday, Aug 14 with the Klinec workers. There the workers explained their situation, the abuse they have suffered in the form of yelling and things being thrown by supervisors to make production go faster, of inconsistent shifts with inadequate breaks, and health and safety lacking. Many of the workers have been there for 10 to 16 years and put up with the inhumane working conditions since they were making what approached a living wage in a city with the highest unemployment rate in the country. But a three dollar an hour pay cut was asking too much.
Approximately 50 people, many of them CAW members, and me for the WWAC, gathered at the gates of the company to prevent trucks and other workers from entering who had already been called up by the owner the day before. It was real solidarity among community members and the workers were buoyed by that because they had a tough decision to make – and to be clear it was theirs to make and they choose dignity over further exploitation by turning down an insulting offer by an employer who never viewed as more than an unavoidable expense. The mood was high at the end of the afternoon after the third negotiation attempt failed to resolve the issue of wages. At that point the employer provided figures showing his tax arrears and other debts and this information, if accurate, indicated a business going under for lack of a proper cash flow. The employer said he expected more contracts to come in but the workers would not put any trust in his words. The workers could see they were screwed anyhow and if they went back to work it could likely be to simply pack up the last shipments and be stiffed out of their last wages. It was a brave decision and one made in defiance of all they had put up with.
As this story continues to unfold the employer did provide the final pay cheques and paperwork for EI. It remains to be seen if the workers will have to fight for EI if the agency denies their claim for EI. Workers should not have to put up with inhumane working conditions only to be bullied once again with a cut to their wages. There are lessons here for all workers in precarious employment without unions, benefits, pensions and so on. Things will only get worse if we do not take a stand for fairness and justice in the workplace. How low can wages go if we think we can maintain a civil society? How long can we put up with a race to the bottom while income inequality rises and the rich get richer and workers get poorer? The answers lay in community engagement and solidarity building, in finding ways to create democratic control of the economy and create new ones with worker cooperatives for example. It was a wonderful experience to be with these workers on the line and get to know them and for them to see that others in the community wanted to be in solidarity with them simply because it was the right thing to do. I'll keep reporting on the fallout from this event and efforts will continue to help workers empower themselves in an increasingly predatory work world.
This 2012 version of Pride Fest Windsor-Essex got underway – the 20th anniversary of the event – last week, and continued till Sunday, Aug. 12 when the parade made its way through downtown to the riverfront.
On Friday evening, Aug 10 in Stratford, John Ralston Saul, perhaps Canada's most celebrated philosopher/author will give a talk by "revisiting his best selling book "A Fair Country: Telling Truths About Canada" (See link to the right for more on this book). Saul's talk was followed by a Q&A period with the audience and then he was available for book signings and some one on one conversation.
Back in January of this year I had on the program Joe Mancini, a director of The Working Centre in Kitchener. "The Working Centre is a non-profit, community-based, volunteer inspired venture that seeks to give individuals and groups access to tools and opportunities to become involved in the building of community projects in Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas." Some of the things that happen are a job placement centre, a café, bicycle repair shop, a thrift shop, housing, and so on. There are paid jobs and many volunteer placements.
That interview came about because of what I call occupy Windsor ripples: I met photographer Doug Maclellan during Occupy Windsor and over the course of some conversations he spoke of this fellow and his wife who began a unique social enterprise in Kitchener way back in 1982 based on the values of the Social Gospel, Dorothy Day and the Catholic Workers movement, and thinkers like Ivan Illich and Paulo Freire; a deep and rich stew, so to speak, of human potential, social justice, and a belief that together in community all can find their place in a meaningful existence. A board of directors is responsible for the operation of the whole enterprise and Joe and his wife Stephanie take a modest salary for the day to day work they do running the enterprise.
Last week, my wife and I, and Doug MacLellan took a trip to Kitchener to see the operation and were graciously hosted by Joe and his wife. Joe took us around to each of the enterprises and we started with lunch at the café (which includes a bookstore and large space for movie showings and social gatherings) and made our way to the employment help centre, the thrift shop, the St John's Kitchen where meals are served, showers can be had and medical help is available. From there we saw the bicycle repair shop and the supportive housing complex.

Friday's program was pre-recorded on Wednesday, July 25 and I had in the studio a couple of guests including Robert Mittag, aka, Rockin' Robbee, here to play some blues stylings and also talk about his ongoing campaign to keep the spotlight on Al Magnieh's continuing presence on city council.
But first, we heard from Travis Reitsma, local musician and a UWindsor graduate student who recently defended his thesis entitled: "How the Media View Public-Sector Workers: A Critical Discourse Analysis of a 2009 Municipal Workers' Strike in Windsor, Ontario", and the media focus was the Windsor Star coverage of that strike.
Let's not forget something as the Magnieh affair sinks out of the news cycle: the public library has been uprooted and de-stabilized. Oh sure, the place is operating as it sits stripped of the café with a book machine in its place, something installed under questionable circumstances as the CEO of the library has also disappeared as a result of his complicity in the misuse of credit cards with his pal Al. The other travesty is that these two have mismanaged the library to a point where it is supposed to be installed in the art gallery that I understand is now sans a café and gift shop – can you imagine an art gallery without a gift shop?
On Tuesday, July 31 a group of concerned citizens attended a discussion led by local lawyers Victoria Cross and Kendall McKinney on freedom of expression which I also attended. Here we learned that Robert is not alone and that it is routine to have similar letters sent to people every day. To receive a letter all it takes is an outburst of frustration at any city facility. As Cross pointed out, city hall is a public venue for political debate, a workplace, and an administrative centre. Mittag was doing his duty as a citizen in continuing to hold Mr Magnieh to account and the city used a heavy handed method to try and bar Mittag from legitimately expressing himself. A the meeting on Tuesday the Windsor Committee for the Defense of Freedom of Expression was formed: stay tuned!
The city has since rescinded the ban on Mittag. As you'll note, the letter banning Mittag mentioned nothing about a 30 day expiry, yet that is the reason the city solicitor gave for lifting the ban.

Trace concentrations of water and hydroxide are commonly bound in minerals which are normally considered anhydrous. These hydrous species influence the physical and chemical properties of the host mineral to an extent far disproportionate to their low concentration. These properties include mechanical strength, internal structural order, optical properties, dielectric constant, response to external ionizing radiation, and internal diffusion. Low concentrations of hydrous species are conveniently detected by infrared spectroscopy, but the IR method is not self-calibrating. Nuclear reaction analysis has proven to be one of the more sensitive methods to determine the absolute concentration of the hydrous species, but in practice, is subject to a variety of limitations which have reduced the accuracy of analyses of samples with water contents below 0.1%.

USA company Florida Turbine Technologies Inc has opened its UK base in Derby – a move secured by the proactive work of the city's inward investment company Marketing Derby, the team from Connect Derby and a grant from Derby City Council through the Derby Enterprise Growth Fund.
FTT are a Florida-based aerospace company specialising in engineering, developing and testing of turbines and other components for military and commercial aircraft, space propulsion and other industries including power stations.
The company has worked with Marketing Derby and Connect Derby to find premises in the city and has leased offices in Sadler Bridge Studios – Derby City Council's new £4.4m purpose-designed facility for the creative, digital and innovation sector, which has been developed on the site of the former Prince's supermarket at the bottom of Sadler Gate.
The move has been supported by a £165,440 grant from the £20 million Derby Enterprise Growth Fund which is funded by the Government's Regional Growth Fund and run by Derby City Council. DEGF aims to support growth and job creation in businesses in the city and surrounding area through a mix of loans and grants.
FTT (UK) Ltd currently have a team of nine people at its Derby base and are actively recruiting to add additional staff in the coming weeks. In total, it aims to create ten full time jobs in Derby who will deliver services to customers throughout the UK.
Future growth in Derby is forecast in line with FTT's previous investment in Brandenburg where the ten-strong workforce was expanded to 25 within just three years.
The UK base will be responsible for procuring between £3 million and £5 million a year of highly-engineered hardware from the UK supply chain and FTT has already expressed a keen interest in the opportunities presented by Infinity Park and working with universities including the University of Derby.
FTT Chief Engineer Robert Ress said: "Derby is the perfect place to establish and expand our UK operations.
"We looked at various locations in the UK and the support we have had from Marketing Derby and Derby City Council was a crucial factor in our decision to come to the city.
Derby City Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Planning, Environment and Regeneration Cllr Martin Rawson chairs the DEGF panel of industrial and financial experts who consider business applications.
He said: "This is fantastic news for Derby and reaffirms our reputation internationally as the UK's number one city for high-tech industries and innovation.
"The proactive work by Marketing Derby, Connect Derby and the DEGF team at Derby City Council showed FTT that this city means business and that we were prepared to go the extra mile to secure this inward investment.
"The DEGF grant is money well spent – encouraging a high calibre international company into the city who are looking to create high-tech and well paid local jobs for local people both now and in the future.
Connect business centres manager Ann Bhatti, added: "We are delighted to welcome FTT to the rapidly expanding community at Sadler Bridge Studios, the sister building to the hugely successful Friar Gate Studios.

Q: Convert formatted string to datetime I have a dataframe with a column that has been formatted as "%w-%U-%Y" (Weekday number-Week number-Year)
I'm currently doing the following to convert it to datetime format:
for i in df.index:
    df['DWY'][i] = dt.strptime(df['DWY'][i],'%w-%U-%Y')

Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

A: Use to_datetime:
df['DWY'] = pd.to_datetime(df['DWY'],format='%w-%U-%Y')

A: You could use the map function:
df['DWY'] = list(map(lambda x: dt.strptime(x,'%w-%U-%Y'), df['DWY']))

I personally like the way list comprehension work better:
df['DWY'] = [dt.strptime(entry, '%w-%U-%Y') for entry in df['DWY']]


Does this mean they'll play Download festival too?
System Of A Down have announced details of European tour dates for summer 2017 – sparking rumours that they may play Download Festival.
The 'Chop Suey' rock heroes are said to be working on new material after sharing photos that appear to show them in the recording studio.
Now, they've confirmed that they'll be hitting the road next year, revealing a string of festival and headline dates throughout mainland Europe. The tour includes a stop at Download's sister event of the same name in France, leading others to speculate that they might also appear at Download at Donington in the UK next June.
Despite touring in recent years, fans have been waiting over a decade for new material after the band released the last albums 'Hypnotise' and 'Mesmerise' back in 2005.
The band have also spent much of their time and energy to draw attention to 100th anniversary Armenian Genocide.

Do you have CommentLuv installed?
One of my favorite ways to find new blogs to read is by visiting other sites who have CommentLuv installed and clicking through to a post from someone else who has commented. Another reason why I like this particular plugin is because it gives the people commenting on my posts a way to link one of their recent posts to their comment.
If you sign up at their site you have the ability to link one of your last 10 blog posts when commenting on a site that has CommentLuv installed. There are other benefits of registering at their site as well….read all about it by visiting the site (and Andy is super nice too).
I'm not exactly sure how I found this plugin but it was definitely through another site that has it installed and I thought it was a great idea.
Now when you comment on my blog you can put in Your Name @ Your Keywords and that will show in the name field.
Isn't that fun? Take advantage Keyword Luv when you comment on my posts!
I'm getting a bit more spam but Askimet still does a great job of catching a lot of it!
What this means for you – when you comment on my blog you get extra exposure and I'm fostering a reciprocal environment.
I'd love to hear of your experiences with any or all of these on your site.

Fattest states: Where does Michigan rank?
A lot can be said about obesity in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a report from JAMA Internal Medicine found that more than three quarters of American adults are either overweight or obese.
According to WalletHub , this is the first time in history that the number of obese people has surpassed that of the overweight.
WalletHub's report states that in 2015, about 81.6 million Americans were completely inactive. In Addition to other factors like genetics, emotional instability and sleeplessness, lack of physical activity is one of the leading causes of obesity.
So, where does Michigan Rank?
Well, we may not have topped their list of "2016 Fattest States in America," but we did rank in the top 20, sitting at No. 17. We are right above Ohio, and just below Georgia.
Want to learn more and see where the other states rank? Well, just click here to see the findings.


1 – Don't answer your phone. This is especially important when unknown numbers call. Let them leave a VM. Or call the next agent they were referred to. It's probably a telemarketer anyway.
2 – Make promises and don't keep them. People love it when they're told they can expect a market analysis or more information on a development, and then they have to follow up to be sure that you remember their request.
3 – Keep running winter hours. I know that over November and December many agents gear down to about half the hours or less than they work in the heat of summer. If you want to keep things slow in 2018? Just stay home and wait for the phone to ring. Run your January similarly to December hours and it'll work out perfectly for a weak start to the new year.
4 – Continue not reading books, and not growing your skills. 2017 was probably too busy to invest in your #1 asset: yourself. It's pretty likely that won't be a major need in 2018 either, so rest on your laurels and don't get better at your craft. That's for other agents.
5 – Neglect Prospecting. It's January- you will be busier with clients. There's simply no need to prospect or develop a prospecting plan when there is already client work directly in front of you. Best to wait until your pipeline dries up completely to start looking for new business.
6 – Learn nothing, and do everything the same as last year. The very best way to ensure that 2018 is flat (or worse) is to continue to operate your business just the way that you did last year. Let other agents learn from their experiences, you just put your head down and plow forward.
I'm hoping that you're entering this new year with energy and excitement. One of the very best parts about being an agent and business owner is that we're completely in control of our own destiny. We've got an opportunity to make this year great, starting tomorrow. Just kidding, get out there and make it a great year!

American Dairy Coalition applauds on Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2019
American Dairy Coalition
The American Dairy Coalition (ADC) and the dairy producers we represent across the nation applaud the efforts of Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee Collin Peterson (D-MN) and Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA) on the introduction of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act.
"Milk is the No. 1 source of nine essential nutrients in the diets of our students, but if they don't drink it these health benefits are lost," Rep. Thompson said in a press release on his official website. "Milk consumption has been declining in schools throughout the nation because kids are not consuming the varieties of milk being made available to them. It is my hope that the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act will bring a wider range of milk options to American lunchrooms so students can choose the kind they love best."
The American Dairy Coalition hopes the reintroduction of more varieties of milk to school lunch programs will not only provide a key source of nutrition for children across the nation, but also develop a new generation of milk drinkers in an age when fluid consumption of milk is in decline. In the past decade, fluid milk sales have fallen about 13 percent and the price of milk has dropped nearly 40 percent over the last 4 years. Without access to additional markets for their product, dairy farmers are going out of business at an alarming rate.
"I'm proud to join Congressman Thompson in this effort that will provide more choices for nutritious and healthy milk to kids in schools, and a valuable market for dairy farmers in Minnesota, Pennsylvania and nationwide at a time when they're continuing to face extremely difficult market conditions," Chairman Peterson said in the same press release.
Providing additional markets for dairy producers is key to preserving and protecting an industry that consistently provides consumers with the highest-quality dairy products available at an affordable price. The U.S. dairy products industry supports nearly 3 million workers, generates more than $39 billion in direct wages and has an overall economic impact of more than $628 billion, according to the International Dairy Foods Association.
The dairy industry provides jobs at feed mills, dairy manufacturing plants, construction companies, genetic companies, milk haulers, dairy plants plus much, much more. Farmers across the nation work hard to provide food for dinner tables across the country — it's time we work hard to protect their livelihood too.
The American Dairy Coalition is urging all dairy producers, allied businesses and employees of the dairy industry to reach out to their federal legislators and ask them to support H.R. 832, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2019.

West End Star Rushed to Hospital
Oliver Tompsett, who was due to perform at the London's West End Men concert in Bangkok this week, has been rushed to hospital in London.
Tompsett who was staring in the hit musical Kinky Boots in London, contracted a serious chest infection and was immediately admitted to hospital.
His role in the Bangkok concert will now be taken by Ashley Stillburn, another superstar from the West End.
Tompsett's agent informed the London based producers of the London West End Men concert late last Friday, and explained that his doctor would not allow Tompsett to take any long-haul flights. He therefore had no choice but to cancel his trip to perform in Thailand.
London's West End Men producer Paul Morrisey, has now found a top-class replacement, Ashley Stillburn, to perform on Saturday at the Thailand Cultural Centre concert.
Morrisey said," Obviously it is very unfortunate that Oliver was taken ill, and we all wish him a speedy recovery.
Meanwhile, Ashley Stillburn, who is himself a superb West End star, has performed in many great musicals such as Sweeny Todd, The Woman in White, Les Misérables and as Raoul in Phantom of the Opera. We were therefore just extremely lucky that he was available at such short notice."
Ashley will be rehearsing in London this week, before flying over to join the rest of the cast for Saturday's concert with the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra at the Thailand Cultural Centre.
'I have actually performed with Daniel Koek in Les Miserables at the Queens Theatre and with Harriet Jones in Phantom at Her Majesty's Theatre, so it will be wonderful to be back on stage all together again in Bangkok', said Stillburn.
Tickets for the two balconies are almost sold out, however there are a few seats still available downstairs through www.thaiticketmajor.com

Q: Building a Huffman Tree using a Binary Heap I am currently trying to write a program that reads in a text file and encodes it by creating a HuffmanTree. I am using parallel arrays in a binary heap of a priority queue and to keep track of my Huffman Trees.
I know the principal of removing two mins out of the heap, merging them, then inserting them back into the heap until there is one left, but I am having trouble translating that logic/algorithm to code.
Here is my HuffmanEncode class:
public class HuffmanEncode {

    public HuffmanEncode(String in, String out) {
        // Implements the Huffman encoding algorithm
        // Add private methods and instance variables as needed
        int[] freqs = new int[128]; // character counts
        char[] chars = new char[128]; //characters

        freqs = countFrequencies(in);
        HuffmanTree[] trees = new HuffmanTree[128]; //single node trees

        for(int i= 0; i < freqs.length; i++) {
            chars[i] = (char)i;
            trees[i] = new HuffmanTree(chars[i]);
        }

        BinaryHeap heap = new BinaryHeap(128); // create a binary heap
        for(int i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
            heap.insert(freqs[i], trees[i]);
        }

        // STUCK HERE

        buildTree(heap);
        HuffmanTree root = new HuffmanTree();

        // STUCK HERE

    }

    private void buildTree(BinaryHeap h) {
        // grab two smallest
        while (h.getSize() > 1) { //repeat until there is only one left
            int temp1, temp2;
            HuffmanTree t1, t2;
            temp1 = h.getMinPriority();
            temp2 = h.getMinPriority();
            // add their frequency to create new single node tree with char 128
            int sum = temp1 + temp2;
            HuffmanTree node = new HuffmanTree((char)128);
            // insert it back into the heap
            h.insert(sum, node);
        }
    }

    // count the frequencies of all characters in ascii 0-127 and store them in an array
    private int[] countFrequencies(String input) {
        File f1 = new File(input);
        int[] count = new int[128];
        try {
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (f1));
            int nextChar;
            char ch;

            while((nextChar = in.read()) != -1) { // stop when end of file is reached
                ch = ((char) nextChar);
                if(ch <= 127)
                    count[ch]++;
            }
            in.close();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.out.println("file not found");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Buffered Reader error");
        }
        return count;
    }

Here is my Binary Heap class:
public class BinaryHeap {
    // implements a binary heap where the heap rule is the value in the parent
    // node is less than or equal to the values in the child nodes

    // implementation uses parallel arrays to store the priorities and the trees
    // must use this implementation

    int priority[];
    HuffmanTree trees[];
    int size;

    public BinaryHeap(int s) {
        priority = new int[s+1];
        trees = new HuffmanTree[s+1];
        size = 0;
    }

    public void removeMin() {
        // PRE: size != 0;
        // removes the priority and the tree at the root of the heap
        int parent;
        int child;
        int x = priority[size];
        HuffmanTree z = trees[size];
        size--;
        child = 2;
        while(child <= size) {
            parent = child / 2;
            if(child < size && priority[child+1] < priority[child])
                child++;
            if(x < priority[child]) break;
            priority[parent] = priority[child];
            trees[parent] = trees[child];
            child = 2 * child;
        }
        priority[child/2] = x;
        trees[child/2] = z;
    }

    public int getMinPriority() {
        // PRE: size != 0
        // return the priority in the root of the heap
        int min = priority[1];
        removeMin();
        return min;
    }

    public boolean full() {
        // return true if the heap is full otherwise return false
        return size == priority.length-1;
    }

    public void insert(int p, HuffmanTree t) {
        // insert the priority p and the associated tree t into the heap
        // PRE: !full()
        int parent;
        int child;
        size++;
        child = size;
        parent = child/2;
        priority[0] = p;
        trees[0] = t;
        while (priority[parent] > p) {
            priority[child] = priority[parent];
            trees[child] = trees[parent];
            child = parent;
            parent = child/2;
        }
        priority[child] = p;
        trees[child] = t;
    }

    public int getSize() {
        // return the number of values (priority, tree) pairs in the heap
        return size;
    }
}

Here is the class for the HuffmanTree object:
import java.util.*;

public class HuffmanTree {

    private class Node{
        private Node left;
        private char data;
        private Node right;
        private Node parent;

        private Node(Node L, char d, Node R, Node P) {
            left = L;
            data = d;
            right = R;
            parent = P;
        }
    }

    private Node root;
    private Node current; // value is changed by move methods

    public HuffmanTree() {
        root = null;
        current = null;
    }

    public HuffmanTree(char d) {
        // single node tree
        root = new Node(null, d, null, null);
        current = null;
    }

    public HuffmanTree(String t, char nonLeaf) {
        // Assumes t represents a post order representation of the tree
        // nonLeaf is the char value of the data in the non-leaf nodes
        // use (char) 128 for the non-leaf value
    }

    public HuffmanTree(HuffmanTree b1, HuffmanTree b2, char d) {
        // makes a new tree where b1 is the left subtree and b2 is the right subtree and d is the data in root
        root = new Node(b1.root, d, b2.root, null);
        current = null;
    }

    // use the move methods to traverse the tree
    // the move methods change the value of current
    // use these in the decoding process

    public void moveToRoot() {
        // change current to reference the root of the tree
        current = root;
    }

    public void moveToLeft() {

I understand not all of the code is complete, it is a work in progress. Currently I am trying to build the Tree using the HuffmanEncode class.
My question is how do I go about using the Binary Heap's parallel arrays to construct a binary tree? I have tried pulling two elements out of the array, adding their frequencies to create a new node, and insert them back into the tree (as shown in code), but I don't know how to actually keep that parallel with using the HuffmanTree Constructor to merge two trees together. How can I assure this all happens smoothy?

A: When you make the new node to insert back into the heap, you need to first connect its left and right branches to the two nodes you pulled out of the heap.

A: I have implemented the huffman coding using the min heap. You might get some idea from this.
internal class HuffmanTree
{
    internal HuffmanTreeNode rootNode;
    private Dictionary<char, int> dictFrequencies;
    HuffmanPriorityQueue huffmanPriorityQueue;

    internal void Build(string input)
    {
        dictFrequencies = input.GroupBy(x => x).ToDictionary(k => k.Key, v => v.Count());
        huffmanPriorityQueue = new HuffmanPriorityQueue(dictFrequencies.Count);

        foreach (var item in dictFrequencies)
        {
            huffmanPriorityQueue.Push(new HuffmanTreeNode { Symbol = item.Key, Frequency = item.Value, Left = null, Right = null });
        }

        while(huffmanPriorityQueue.Count() >= 2)
        {
            HuffmanTreeNode leftNode = huffmanPriorityQueue.Pop();
            HuffmanTreeNode rightNode = huffmanPriorityQueue.Pop();

            HuffmanTreeNode parentNode = new HuffmanTreeNode
            {
                Frequency = leftNode.Frequency + rightNode.Frequency,
                Symbol = '*',
                Left = leftNode,
                Right = rightNode
            };

            this.rootNode = parentNode;
            huffmanPriorityQueue.Push(parentNode);
        }
    }

internal class HuffmanPriorityQueue
{
    HuffmanTreeNode[] items;
    int top = 0;

    public HuffmanPriorityQueue(int size)
    {
        items = new HuffmanTreeNode[size + 1];
    }

    internal void Push(HuffmanTreeNode node)
    {
        int i = ++top;

        while (i > 1 && items[i / 2].Frequency > node.Frequency)
        {
            items[i] = items[i / 2];
            i = i / 2;
        }

        items[i] = node;

DC Comes Un-Hinged at Launch Party

There are things DC does without thinking (Presidential motorcades, snowstorm hysteria), but last night a slice of the city did something that doesn't come natural to the Capital: Throw a tech startup launch party.
The event, to kick-off DC-based Hinge's iPhone app launch, generated 1,900 RSVPs on its Facebook page.
Judging by the crowd, most who said they would show did, filling up the 12th floor of the brand-new startup incubator/co-working space/startup training ground called 1776, headed by entrepreneur and former Startup DC chair Evan Burfield.
Hinge is a dating app that uses your Facebook friends and their friends to pair you up with someone to date.
You could only attend the party one of two ways: If one of the organizers, like Hinge co-founders Justin McLeod and Bennett Richardson, invited you, or if someone who was invited brought you along.
Attendees entered 1776's 15th Street-facing doors, checked in by iPhones and iPads and taken on an elevator ride to the building's 12th floor.
Off the elevator you hear the thumping music. To your right is the coat check, straight ahead is the step and repeat (think backdrop for Oscar photos, but with Hinge's logo), and to your left, filling the largely open space, is a mass of people obscured by darkness, save for the random laser beam or other whirling club lighting.
"I think the open space made it (event) unique," attendee Sasha Horne said. "Because the venue is still under construction it was reminiscent of a Bushwick warehouse party."
Most importantly for a majority of attendees, the open bar, arranged as a square, sat in the middle of the space. As the night tore on, people mingled, drank and danced, enjoying the free booze brought forth by the launch of an iPhone app.
"We were overwhelmed by everyone's support, and we even spotted some friends of friends connecting at the party," Richardson said.
And for those not worried about sleep or responsibility, an after party commenced around midnight at The Huxley.
It's the kind of event now ho-hum in Silicon Valley, but that DC doesn't do.
We celebrate campaigns, snow days or Fridays, but in these parts we don't drink to technology. We don't acknowledge the launch or milestones of companies funded by venture capitalists.
Last night part of DC did just that, however.
And today many who were there might be wishing Hinge could help them not only find a date, but cure a hangover.

Your Next Date May Hinge On this Startup

Do you trust your friends to proactively hook you up with someone you should meet?
With Hinge, you don't have to.
A Facebook application that, in the words of founder and Borderstan resident Justin McLeod, "helps you privately meet dates within your social network."
McLeod's inspiration for Hinge came after Facebook friending a girl he thought was a good match for him, and with whom he shared a business school class. He discovered they shared common Facebook friends, none of whom had connected the dots and introduced McLeod and his classmate to each other.
It's the use of Facebook's social graph, the social network's web of members, to connect friends of friends for dating that's the goal of Hinge.
"We learn your tastes by you rating and answering questions about your current Facebook friends, then we search through your friends of friends to suggest your most compatible matches," McLeod said.
Hinge isn't online dating, though. It's a game, and you can play whether you're single or not.
"Taken folks can play as matchmakers and help improve their friends' matches," McLeod said.
After graduating from Harvard Business School, and meeting a girl his friends should have introduced him to, McLeod started working on Hinge. He mapped out the app, hired developers to build a prototype, and raised money last winter.
Hinge now has three full-time staff, McLeod, his co-founder Bennett Richardson and a lead engineer, AJ Bonhomme.
"We take our work seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously," McLeod said.
Team Hinge works out of The Fort, a startup accelerator in downtown DC.
Hinge is a player in DC's much talked about tech startup scene, a community that's more supportive than cutthroat.
"Everyone in DC wants everyone else in DC to succeed, and most fellow founders are always ready to do you a favor whenever you need a hand," McLeod said.
Not much unlike, perhaps, Hinge lending a hand in helping you find a date.
