Press release
The first 2 specialist maths free schools ran a competition for gifted mathematicians and the Education Secretary gave out the prizes.
Education Secretary Michael Gove presented prizes to the winners of a maths competition run by the first 2 specialist maths free schools.
School pupils in London and the south west were invited by King’s College London ( KCL ) Maths School and Exeter Mathematics School to create a 5-minute video explaining one of 5 maths puzzles. They were: the bridges of Königsberg, Pascal’s problem of points, the enumeration of Pythagorean triples, Bézout’s buckets and ponds, and how every modern fraction can be written in terms of Egyptian fractions.
KCL Maths School and Exeter Mathematics School will be the first state-funded specialist maths free schools. They will open in September 2014, welcoming the brightest maths students from their respective regions.
Eighty-five entries were submitted by schools in London and 40 entries by schools in the south west.
London’s competition was won by pupils from Harris Academy South Norwood. Shannon Jackowski, Meghan Takwani, Ollie Springate and Katie Darnell-Smith won with their explanation of Pascal’s problem of points.
In the south west, Molly Spalding, Jasmine Qian and Jasmine Pearce, from the Royal Bath High School, won with their explanation of Bézout’s buckets and ponds.
The winners showed their videos to the Education Secretary at an awards ceremony at the Department for Education. Mr Gove presented the pupils with signed copies of ‘The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets’ by Simon Singh MBE.
The 2 schools ran the competition to encourage pupils to take a creative approach to common maths problems. Young people were given a taster of the different approaches to maths education available at the free schools.
Education Secretary Michael Gove said:
Congratulations to the pupils from Harris Academy South Norwood and The Royal Bath High School on being the winners of the King’s and Exeter competition. They tackled 2 challenging maths problems and I was very impressed by the clarity, creativity and confidence of their solution.
We need specialist maths free schools like King’s College London ( KCL ) Maths School and Exeter Mathematics School. They will develop the talents of exceptional young mathematicians and ensure they can compete in the global race.
The KCL and Exeter schools are the first to take advantage of a development grant made available by the Department for Education for the creation of university-led specialist maths free schools.
Both schools will cater for up to 120 16- to 19-year-olds who show an extraordinary ability in the subject. The aim is to create an environment that nurtures talent and encourages pupils to aim for higher study and to eventually help them compete with the best mathematicians, scientists and engineers in the world.
Pupils will benefit from high-quality teaching by university academics. Critical thinking and applying creative approaches to real-world problems will bring out the best in young mathematicians.
Dan Abramson, head of the KCL Maths School, said:
The fact there were so many entries from across London for this competition shows that there is a real passion for maths, problem solving and communicating effectively - vital skills which stand pupils in good stead for university study and future employment.
Kerry Burnham, head of Exeter Mathematics School, said:
I am thrilled that young people in the south west have demonstrated such an interest in maths through taking part in this exciting competition. The judges were both entertained by and impressed with the level of creativity, mathematical insight and enthusiasm demonstrated by many teams.
The pupils from the schools said the competition allowed them to look at maths in a different way. Shannon, Meghan, Ollie and Katie, from Harris Academy South Norwood, said:
We are so happy that university mathematicians like our solution. We wanted our video to stand out and make it one that even people who don’t like maths as much us can enjoy. It made our maths lessons fun and we liked exploring the problem for ourselves.
Molly, Jasmine and Jasmine, from The Royal Bath High School, said:
We loved this assignment because it allowed us to be creative in the use of mathematics. Lots of maths competitions are classroom based, and written, but we were motivated by the opportunity to communicate in an artistic and imaginative way.
Further information about the schools can be found on the KCL Mathematics School website and the Exeter Mathematics School website .
Universities interested in developing their own maths free school can find more information in the free school section of the DfE website

Delia shows you how to whip up this retro classic of pancakes in a boozy orange sauce.
Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets an airing. Now make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it. Then begin whisking the eggs - any sort of whisk or even a fork will do - incorporating any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl as you do so.
Next gradually add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, still whisking (don't worry about any lumps as they will eventually disappear as you whisk). When all the liquid has been added, use a rubber spatula to scrape any elusive bits of flour from around the edge into the centre, then whisk once more until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream. Now melt the 50g/2oz of butter in a pan. Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl and use it to lubricate the pan, using a wodge of kitchen paper to smear it round before you make each pancake. Stir the orange zest and caster sugar into the batter.
Now get the pan really hot, then turn the heat down to medium and, to start with, do a test pancake to see if you're using the correct amount of batter. These little crêpes should be thinner than the basic pancakes, so when you're making them, use ½ tbsp of batter at a time in a 18cm/7in pan. It's also helpful if you spoon the batter into a ladle so it can be poured into the hot pan in one go. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. It should take only half a minute or so to cook; you can lift the edge with a palette knife to see if it's tinged gold as it should be. Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife - the other side will need a few seconds only - then simply slide it out of the pan onto a plate. If the pancakes look a little bit ragged in the pan, no matter because they are going to be folded anyway. You should end up with 15-16 crêpes.
Stack the pancakes as you make them between sheets of greaseproof paper on a plate fitted over simmering water, to keep them warm while you make the rest.
For the sauce, mix all the ingredients - with the exception of the butter - in a bowl. At the same time warm the plates on which the crêpes are going to be served. Now melt the butter in the frying pan, pour in the sauce and allow it to heat very gently. Then place the first crêpes in the pan and give it time to warm through before folding it in half and then in half again to make a triangular shape. Slide this onto the very edge of the pan, tilt the pan slightly so the sauce runs back into the centre, then add the next crêpe. Continue like this until they're all re-heated, folded and well soaked with the sauce.
You can flame them at this point if you like. Heat a ladle by holding it over a gas flame or by resting it on the edge of a hotplate, then, away from the heat, pour a little liqueur or brandy into it, return it to the heat to warm the spirit, then set light to it. Carry the flaming ladle to the table over the pan and pour the flames over the crêpes before serving on the warmed plates.

[Update: November 2019] The best Android TV boxes you can buy today
by Ben SchoonAndroid TV is built into dozens of different TV models, but if you’ve already got a panel you’re happy with, there’s no reason to upgrade just for software. With a simple HDMI port, you can refresh your TV with Android TV powering the experience. Here are the best Android TV set-top boxes in 2019 you can do that with.
THE BEST ANDROID TV SET-TOP BOXES
There are Android TV products available in all shapes and sizes. From high-end TVs to the boxes sold by pay-TV operators, Google’s platform is growing quickly. In this roundup, though, we’re just taking a look at set-top boxes that anyone can buy for any TV.
New for November – Nvidia Shield TV/Pro
The best streaming box, hands-down
The Nvidia Shield TV has long been a favorite in the streaming space and in late 2019, it’s gotten a huge update. The third generation of the Shield TV comes in two form factors each with a different price tag too.
For the 2019 revision, there’s the standard Shield TV which is a compact device designed to fit basically anywhere in your setup and is essentially just a streaming device. The other new Shield TV is a proper set-top box with the same design as the previous models and both come with the same Android TV software.
The smaller Shield TV comes with the Tegra X1+ chipset, a microSD card slot, 8GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and Android TV with Pie. That provides more than enough power and storage for all your favorite streaming apps — Amazon Prime Video included — and it an even handle games at 4K HDR. The new Shield can even handle Dolby Vision and Atmos as well.
The larger Shield TV Pro has mostly the same hardware, but with USB 3.0 ports for further expansion, 16GB of storage, and 3GB of RAM. The Pro is definitely the one to get if you want to use it as a Plex server too.
Both devices also offer a powerful upscaling feature that uses AI to deliver stunning quality on basically everything you watch.
Why the Shield TV is the best Android TV box:
If you’ve got the budget for it, the Shield TV is a no-brainer. There are no caveats or real issues with this device, and for a starting price of $149, it’s not overly expensive, either. Functions like game streaming are excellent additions.
If you want it all, the Shield TV is the ultimate streaming box. It supports 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos/Vision on more services than anything else on the market.
It’s the best Android TV set-top box, hands down.
 Thankfully, there are still some great options out there. One of those is the Xiaomi Mi Box S.
For just a mere $59, the Xiaomi Mi Box S delivers Android TV in a compact, capable package that’s updated for 2019 over the original. You’ll find a quad-core processor inside and 2 GB of RAM. There’s only 8 GB of storage, but you can expand that with the USB port on the back. There’s also an HDMI 2.0A port that delivers 4K HDR to your connected TV. Sadly, there’s no ethernet.
Android 8.1 Oreo also delivers the latest interface, and performance is solid despite the minor specifications. Bloatware is also kept to a minimum. The included remote also includes a Netflix button and a dedicated apps button among typical navigation and microphone buttons.
At $59, the Xiaomi Mi Box S is the Android TV “bang for your buck” option. It’s not quite perfect, but for most people, it’s absolutely the best option out there. The product is exclusive to Walmart. Prime Video is also coming soon.
JBL Link Bar
As an Android TV box, the JBL Link Bar isn’t the most impressive with only 4 GB of storage to write home about, but it can deliver 4K HDR content to your TV with Pie out of the box, an ethernet port, and a nice remote, too. There are no USB ports, however, which locks in the measly storage amount.
For putting out sound, the JBL Link Bar has four drivers, two tweeters, and a maximum power output of 100W. Those speakers can also be amplified with a wireless subwoofer. Putting the icing on the cake is the ability to use the soundbar as a Google Assistant speaker for hands-free music streaming.
Pricing for the JBL Link Bar lands at $399 for the soundbar on its own. You can pick it up from Amazon, B&H Photo, and JBL’s website.
JetStream 4K Android TV
The Jetstream 4K Android TV has the same specs as the Mi Box S with 8 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM. It can deliver 4K HDR to your TV on top of Android 8.1 Oreo. It’s also got 2 USB ports and a microSD card slot for expanding the built-in storage. The included remote also has buttons dedicated to Netflix, YouTube, and the Play Store. Of course, typical navigation and Assistant buttons are also included.
Walmart is the exclusive place to buy the Jetstream box. At $69, it’s a great option for those who need a few more ports.
AirTV Mini
For $79, the AirTV Mini offers 4K HDR Android TV with access to the Play Store, Netflix, and a focus on live TV with Sling. The dongle comes with a $25 credit for Sling TV and can be easily integrated with an AirTV to stream local digital channels in HD.
Even without the Sling TV focus, the AirTV Mini can be used as a normal Android TV device with Android 9 Pie and the flexible form factor, too. The included remote also has dedicated buttons for Sling TV and Google Assistant. The product is available exclusively from AirTV’s own online store.

Chvishtari is a Georgian corn bread, filled with cheese.
It is a selection of different appetizers. It is another dish that translates as a salad, but is more of a small appetizer. It is a patty of minced greens and ground walnuts.They also come with appetizers you can order on their own like the delicious red pepper stuffed with walnut paste. They are not the main dishes but usually menu items that can be ordered alone.
Plum sauce may sound like it’s going to be sweet, but Georgian plum sauce is sour. It comes in red, which is a little sweeter, or green, which is the more sour of the two. It's not much different than the kebab that we know in Turkey, only, this kebab has a unique sauce that makes it more delicious than a normal kebab is.
Khachapuri is a Georgian cheese bread or cheese pie. There are multiple versions of Khachapuri and they are all region specific.
Imeruli Khachapuri is in a circle-shape.
Megruli khachapuri is similar too but has the ingredients both inside and outside.
Acharuli khachapuri is a boat-shaped cheese bread with eggs, again both inside and outside.
Borjomi is Georgia’s favorite mineral water. You can find bottled Borjomi everywhere, and you can visit Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park and drink the water straight from a fountain. Borjomi is also so popular in Russia, Russians travel to Georgia to visit the town of Borjomi so they can visit the place from which their favorite water comes.
A popular Georgian seafood dish is trout with pomegranate sauce. The trout is fried whole, nice and crispy, and served with a sweet and savory pomegranate sauce.
Another popular appetizer is badrijai nigvzit. Thin, long slices of eggplant (or aubergine) are cooked until brown and soft, then a paste of walnuts, vinegar, and spices is spread on the eggplant slices, which are then rolled.
Yet another traditional Georgian soup is kharcho. This soup is made with beef or chicken and can be served with or without rice. The version I suggest is the one that contains eggplants, zucchini, walnuts, and pomegranate that's served on hominy.

--- layout: default title: Quite Francly Solera 2019 ---
After the success of our 2018 solera we decided to go bigger and turn our full production into a solera. We picked mid october and fermented mostly whole cluster using comercial red wine yeast. Fermentation blew threw and we pressed on thankgsiving day 2019. I though people would want to press with me but it was cold and rainy so I pressed alone.
From there wine went into barrel on Dec 1st where we blended our new wine with 30% of the 2018 solera. This wine is much lighter than previous years as the grapes came in at lower Brix than before but produces an incredibly refined palate which will keep you wanting to drink more.


2 killed when car slams into second floor of commercial building in Toms River
by Eyewitness NewsTOMS RIVER, New Jersey (WABC) -- Authorities say two people were killed Sunday morning when a car slammed into the second floor of a commercial building in New Jersey.
The crash happened at about 6:30 a.m. on Hooper Avenue in Toms River.
According to police, a 2010 red Porsche convertible was traveling at a high rate of speed when it lost control, hit a center median and went airborne across lanes of traffic and into the second story of Exit Realty.
The driver, 22-year-old Braden DeMartin, and his passenger, 23-year-old Daniel Foley, both from Toms River, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The building, which is across from Hooper Avenue Elementary School, was unoccupied at the time of the accident.
Local officials have now deemed the building unsafe.
Hooper Ave between Indian Hill Rd and College Drive was closed for about seven hours after the crash.
Police and the Ocean County prosecutor's office are investigating.

You can take the 101 bus operated by Golden Gate Transit from downtown San Francisco, or south from Santa Rosa. Depending on sponsorship, we hope to run a free shuttle with BART and Caltrain connections for people from further out of town.
SMART, the new train service that runs along the 101 corridor, recently started operations. SMART is not suitable for getting to North Bay Python if you travel on weekends, as the first train leaves after proceedings start. SMART may be a better option than taking the bus between San Rafael and Petaluma if you travel up on weekdays.
Petaluma is within driving distance of all Bay Area Airports, and each airport has varying levels of public transit links to Petaluma.
STS is 30 minutes out of Petaluma, and has nonstop flights to most major west coast cities on Alaska, United, and American.
On weekdays and weekend afternoons, SMART train runs from STS to Downtown Petaluma Station, 1/4mi away from the North Bay Python venue. STS is also serviced by the Sonoma County Airport Express bus.
If you can't make it to STS, you can also try San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK) international airports. These have many more flights than STS, but are twice the distance away, and are subject to more highway traffic between the airport and Petaluma.
Transfers to Petaluma are available through the Sonoma County Airport Express.
If you're planning on renting a car, San Jose (SJC) or Sacramento (SMF) are both two hours drive away.
If you happen to have an aircraft of your own, Petaluma Municipal Airport is 3 miles down the road.

First, have fun, be smart, be safe.
Plus, you have to be at least 13 years old to use Poppo (unless you are the child of one of our founders).
We're serious. It's an important rule, based on U.S. federal and state legistation.
"Wait, what? Like I'm 12 and half!" you plead. Nope, sorry. If you're not thirteen, please don't use Poppo.
You might try to convince someone who uses Poppo, and is 13 or older, to let you join them.
Otherwise, you could begin creating your own mobile app. It's never too early to start these days.


4. Container With Multiple Resolvers and Dependencies (Skipping Resolvers)
In this scenario we have a user list resolver and a user post resolver. The user posts resolver is skipped until
we
select a valid userId value and while the should skip flag is set to false. Whenever the userId value is set and
the skip flag is set to false the user posts resolver will auto resolve (auto load
the
data) but that won't
trigger a user list resolve (For more info look into the user-posts resolver file). We also added the
[hideContentUntilResolvedSuccessfully]="false" since we want to show the content of the resolve container all the
time and actually display the loader/spinner over the content. If you are interested in a more complex loader
example check out section 6.
Note: UserService loadUsers and PostServie loadPosts have a delay operator
applied!
Also if you go to the user
service you can uncomment to throwError line in order to view how the error will be displayed


ggplot2 is based on a grammar of graphics. To get the hang
of it, you’ll need to start thinking of visualizations in terms of separate elements.
This section will set up some example data and then walk through examples of some of
the elements of plots. Once you understand these, you can layer them together with
ggplot
code to obtain really nice visualizations.
In my own research, I study the health effects of climate-related disasters, including heat waves and hurricanes. I noticed that a lot of the sessions at this conference focus on public health surveillance, so I thought it might be interesting to combine these two ideas for the example data. On September 10, 2017, Hurricane Irma hit Florida, and before it did, it triggered evacuations for much of the state. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (under the US Department of Transportation) tracks all the fatal motor vehicle accidents in the US through its Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).5 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). A surveillance system for all fatal motor vehicle accidents in the US, maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. For more, see the FARS website.
I downloaded and cleaned some data from this surveillance system. (In a later section, I’ll tell you more about how to do this cleaning.) I’ve created a fairly simple dataset for us to start with. For each date in the weeks around the hurricane’s landfall, it gives the total number of motor vehicle fatalities recorded in the state. The dataset also gives the week in the year for each date (the first week in January would be “1” for this measure, etc.), as well as the day of the week. Table 2.1 shows what this data looks like.

I’ve created a simple plot of this data to use to highlight the different elements of a graph (Figure 2.1). This plot shows the number of motor vehicle fatalities in Florida per day in the weeks around Hurricane Irma, with the day of the week shown with color (since, for some health outcomes, there are patterns by the day of week).
Let’s break this plot into some of its key elements:
ggplot
plots.
The geometric objects used to plot the data are (1) points (in
different colors, depending on the day of week) and (2) a line (in gray).theme_gray
theme, with a gray background
to the main plot area, white gridlines, a Sans Serif font family,
and a base font size of 11.
The one customization is that the legend (which here provides the key for
how color maps to
day of the week) is shown on the bottom of the plot rather than to the right of
the plot.To help the meaning of these elements sink in, Figure 2.2 shows a second example plot, with the elements again explained below the plot.
Here’s the breakdown of plot elements for this plot:
theme_classic
theme, with a white background
to the main plot area, no gridlines, a Sans Serif font family,
and axis lines only on the left and bottom sides of the plot area.

Building Thermal Model Overview¶
Brief: This section overviews a simple first order discrete thermal model as well as its derivation.
First Order Model¶
A first order ordinary differential equation(ODE) is an optimal model for many natural systems which have a "first order" response. Using Laplace notation, this ODE is represented by the following equation:
In the above equation, a defined the steady-state amplitude of this ODE and RC is the RC time constant. Discretization of this model allows for simple calculation.
Forward Difference¶
The forward difference is a simple discretization method which converts from continous time to discrete time. The forward difference is represented in the following equation using Laplace and Z-Transform notation.
Substituting this into the first order model one arrives at the following:
See work
$$ \frac{Y}{U} = \frac{a}{RC \cdot (\frac{z - 1}{\Delta T})+1} $$ $$ \frac{Y}{U} = \frac{a \Delta T}{RC(z - 1)+\Delta T} $$ $$ Y(RC(z - 1)+\Delta T) = a \Delta T U $$ $$ Y \cdot RC \cdot z = a \Delta T U + Y (RC - \Delta T) $$Thermal Model¶
Using the first order model as well as assumptions about the nature of a building, this section demonstrates a simple thermal model. The assumptions for this simple thermal model are as follows:
- A buildings temperature will coverage to outdoor air temperature(OAT) in the absence of an input
- An HVAC's output steady state will apply a fixed gain a on top of OAT
- An HVAC's dynamic response is first order and defined by an RC time constant
Using these assumptions, the code for a simple thermal model is as follows:
function thermal_step(u){
this.delta = this.gain*this.dt*u/this.time_constant + this.delta*(1 - this.dt/this.time_constant) ;
this.temperature = this.delta + this.oat;
}
function simple_thermal(obj){
this.gain = obj.gain;
this.temperature = obj.temperature;
this.dt = obj.dt;
this.oat = obj.oat;
this.time_constant = obj.time_constant;
this.step = thermal_step;
this.delta = this.temperature - this.oat;
}
Using this model in conjunction with a controller, one can observe the following:
The code that was used to generate the above image is located in here. A simple deadband controller was used as the controller.
