Jennifer Jones back in form at Scotties Tournament of Hearts
By Gregory StrongThe Canadian Press
Thu., Feb. 21, 2019timer2 min. read
SYDNEY, N.S.—Team Canada's Jennifer Jones recaptured some of her vintage form early in the day, but the six-time Scotties Tournament of Hearts champion still has her work cut out for her at Centre 200.
The arrival of the championship round Thursday afternoon initially appeared to change things for Jones' team. But a 9-6 loss to Ontario's Rachel Homan in Thursday's evening draw left Jones at 5-4 as the eight teams who made the cut for the championship round vie for the four spots in the page playoffs.
Alberta's Chelsea Carey, the 2016 Scotties champion, fell to 7-2 overall with back-to-back losses on Thursday — a 10-6 defeat against P.E.I.'s Suzanne Birt after a 10-8 loss against Jones in the afternoon draw .
"We know we're going to get a loss. It's kind of good to get it over with," Carey said after the Jones draw.
Jones' win against Carey turned on a delicate tapback for three in the seventh end — shades of a vintage Jones.
After a week of near-misses, feather ticks and so-so play, Jones looked sparked.
The slumping body language was gone. High-fives with teammates Kaitlyn Lawes, Jocelyn Peterman and Dawn McEwen were firmer. The smiles were back.
"It felt like — finally," Jones said.
Her team stole a pair in the eighth end and Jones closed it out with a confident hit in the 10th to hand Carey her first loss of the competition.
"Honestly I've felt like I've thrown a lot of good rocks and they just haven't worked out," Jones said. "My draw to the button pre-game picks. It just felt like one of those weeks where everything that could go against us did.
"To make that big three — and it was a tough shot — the girls swept it great. That was a big turning point."
Saskatchewan's Robyn Silvernagle posted an 11-5 victory over Northern Ontario's Krista McCarville, British Columbia's Sarah Wark stole a point in the 10th end for a 9-8 win over Birt and Homan defeated Team Wild Card's Casey Scheidegger 9-2 to round out the afternoon draws.
Silvernagle and Homan are tied with Carey atop the standings with 7-2 records. Scheidegger, Birt and McCarville are second at 6-3.
"We've got a ton of tough games ahead so we've got to keep putting the pedal down," Homan said.
Wark eliminated Manitoba's Tracy Fleury earlier in the day in a tiebreaker. She's at 5-4 alongside Jones at the bottom of the standings after being toppled 8-6 by Silvernagle in evening play.
Preliminary round records carried over into the championship round, which runs through Friday night.
The top four teams will qualify for the page playoffs starting Saturday. The semifinal and final will be played Sunday.
Jones is looking to set a record with a seventh Scotties title as a skip. She shares the current mark with Colleen Jones.
The winning team will represent Canada at the March 16-24 world women's curling championship in Silkeborg, Denmark.
British Columbia, Jennifer Jones, Vancouver

I was reading Prospect getting extremely excited about this book, saying it was the the first great novel of the 21st century, so as I was in Borders today buying High School Musical 3, don't ask, i picked this up. Its hefty and the first 18 pages have been good, so i'm in no real position to comment on it. but really has anyone started it yet? finished it? is it the greatest novel of the 21st century? disagree, whats the best novel of the 21st century.
for the fail of this thread.
but have read the savage detectives and last evenings on earth by roberto bolano. they were both start-to-finish awesome, so... it could be? i read somewhere that he died before he'd completely finished it though?
so his desperation to beat his death and finish the book has given a special edge to the book, well that's what the reviews i've read have said.

Rathdonnell House, Auchenflower
One of Queensland's early movers and shakers in the field of education was Randal Macdonnell, a Master of Arts from Dublin University who came to Australia in 1854 in order to fortify his "delicate health". He landed first in Sydney, and having been a teacher in Dublin, he established a private school there.
In 1860 Macdonnell moved to Brisbane where he was appointed General Inspector of Primary Schools and then, in 1870, Secretary to the Board of General Education. In 1875 he became the first General Inspector of the Department of Public Instruction. His poor health eventually told on him, and he died of tuberculosis a year later aged only 47. He is generally thought to have been one of the founders of Queensland's free education system. Although a staunch Roman Catholic, Macdonnell was an adamant supporter of the separation of religious and secular education, a position that caused conflict with Bishop Quinn and other church leaders. Nonetheless he was accorded a Requiem Mass at St Stephen's Cathedral and was buried at Toowong Cemetery.
Around 1865 Randal Macdonnell built a house on a hill at Auchenflower, a short tram ride from the city. The original residence was designed by Benjamin Backhouse, and the following photograph dates from 1931, just prior to a renovation that was to add a second storey. The house was named Rathdonnell, meaning "Donnell's Hill", and its superb position provided a 360 degree vista for the owners. The road leading up the hill to the house was named Rathdonnell St after the house.
(Photo: SLQ 2 70839)
The original house stood on nearly 16 acres (65,000 square metres) of land that extended up the hill to Birdwood Terrace and down the hill to Milton Rd. The land has now been sub-divided and the house sits among other fine dwellings on about 1800 square metres that is situated up an easement on Rathdonnell St.

In a current slant on Randal Macdonnell's link to education, the former stable of Rathdonnell House is now on a separate title and it is home to the local Montessori Children's House, a modern learning facility.

Climate Warming - Good or Bad??
Baden-Württemberg, Netherlands, London, north Italy, and Athens.
They found that mortality was lowest at 14.3-17.3°C in north Finland but at 22.7-25.7°C in Athens. Mean annual heat related mortalities were 304 (95% confidence interval 126 to 482) in North Finland, 445 (59 to 831) in Athens, and 40 (13 to 68) in London. Cold related mortalities were 2457 (1130 to 3786), 2533 (965 to 4101), and 3129 (2319 to 3939) respectively in these regions. Generally - there are from ~5-15X more deaths due to Cold, than due to Warm Events. Populations in Europe have adjusted successfully to mean summer temperatures ranging from 13.5°C to 24.1°C, and can be expected to adjust to global warming predicted for the next half century with little sustained increase in heat related mortality. Active measures to accelerate adjustment to hot weather could minimise temporary rises in heat related mortality, and measures to maintain protection against cold in winter could permit substantial reductions in overall mortality as temperatures rise. A similar study of eleven large cities in the eastern USAshowed that current and recent days' temperatures were the weather components most strongly predictive of mortality. Mortality risk generally decreased as temperature increased from the coldest days to a specific threshold temperature, which varied by latitude. Above these 'local' thresholds mortality risk increased as temperature increased - a typical U-Shaped Stress Response found in most species.

The EEOC Wins A Round In Its Discovery Tug-Of-War In EEOC v. Freeman
By Seyfarth Shaw LLP & Rebecca S. Bjork on December 24, 2012
By Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. and Rebecca Bjork
In EEOC v. Freeman, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 179183, at *6 (D. Md. Dec. 19, 2012), Magistrate Judge Day of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland noted that "there simply is no more aggravating action than a lawyer improperly instructing a deponent not to answer a question." Nevertheless, in the most recent deposition in EEOC v. Freeman, the EEOC continuously instructed its representative in a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition not to provide defense counsel with an answer to their questions. Defendant left the deposition with numerous unanswered questions, lost time, and lost money. Insistent that the EEOC did not follow the applicable Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that govern depositions, Defendant filed a motion to compel the EEOC to provide a Rule 30(b)(6) designee for a second deposition on the unanswered questions, with the costs and sanctions to be paid by the EEOC. The EEOC, adamant to conceal its information, vehemently opposed the Defendant's motion.
Facts Of The Case – Round One
The EEOC has a mixed track record of success in EEOC v. Freeman. The lawsuit arose out of a charge of discrimination filed by an African-American woman in January 2008, who claimed that the Defendant discriminated against her on the basis of her race when it rejected her employment application based on her credit history (discussed here in our previous posts on this lawsuit). After the EEOC began investigating the charge, it expanded its investigation to include Defendant's use of criminal history information for all applicants. The EEOC filed suit alleging a nationwide pattern or practice of discrimination based on the Defendant's use of criminal background checks. In August 2012, the Defendant brought a motion for partial summary judgment, which the Court granted – and about which we previously blogged here. Defendant contended that, for claims that were not part of the original charge, the 300-day statute of limitations in Section 706 of Title VII should run – not from the date of the original charge – but from the date that the EEOC notified the company that it was expanding its investigation to encompass new clams. The Court granted partial summary judgment and held that the relevant date for purposes of the 300-day time bar was the date of notice of the new charges. The Court's grant of partial summary judgment was a victory for the Defendant.
Round Two
The story does not end there, however. In March 2012, Defendant served the EEOC with its Notice of Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition requiring the EEOC to produce a representative to discuss a number of topics – about which we previously blogged here. The EEOC argued that Defendant's requested deposition would not reveal relevant information relevant to its claims and defenses, and the EEOC asked the Court for a protective order. The Court denied the EEOC's motion and found that the Defendant's deposition could produce information relevant to its argument that considering applicants' criminal backgrounds and credit histories is a business necessity. Similarly, the Court was not persuaded by the EEOC's argument that the Court should prohibit deposition questioning regarding the Commission's own hiring procedures. The Court relied on facts that showed that the EEOC is involved in the hiring process. Thus, the Court reasoned that Defendant's depositions would provide relevant information. Finally, the Court denied the EEOC's third contention that a protective order was appropriate because the EEOC was already deposed on similar issues in another case – EEOC v. Kaplan Higher Educ. Corp., No. 10-CV-2882 (N.D. Ohio May 26, 2011). In a resounding defeat for the EEOC, Judge Day held that the EEOC's claim was without merit because Defendant did not participate in the EEOC v. Kaplan deposition and that case involved different issues. Thus, the Court denied the EEOC's motion for a protective order. This marked the Defendant's first discovery triumph in EEOC v. Freeman.
Round Three
Most recently, Defendant deposed one of the EEOC's witnesses, Carol Miaskoff, regarding the matters discussed above. At the deposition, Defendant asked pointed questions regarding the EEOC's policy guidance and regulations pertaining to the legal standard applicable to a Title VII disparate impact challenge to an employer's use of arrest or conviction records in making hiring and other selection decisions. Id. at *2. The Defendant also attempted to question Miaskoff regarding the EEOC's policies relating to the applicable legal standard to challenge an employer's use of credit history or other financial records in making hiring and other selection decisions. Id. at *3. During the deposition, on five occasions the EEOC's counsel instructed Miaskoff not to answer questions posed by Defendant's counsel. The EEOC's challenges left the Defendant without answers to critical questions. Accordingly, Defendant moved to compel the EEOC to provide a designee for a second deposition to answer the challenged questions. Defendant argued that the EEOC's counsel improperly instructed Miaskoff not to answer its questions. The EEOC responded that the requested information should not be compelled because it was outside the scope of the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition, not relevant, and privileged. Id. at *8.
The Court's Ruling
At first, Magistrate Judge Day's ruling appeared deferential to the Defendant. Magistrate Judge Day began his ruling by noting that Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that "[p]arties may obtain discovery regarding any non-privileged matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense" and "the witness must answer the question subject to the objection which is thereby preserved for trial." Id. at *6. In a turn for the EEOC's benefit, however, Magistrate Judge Day held that "[n]onetheless, a court is not required to grant a motion to compel merely because an attorney gave an improper instruction not to answer." Id. at *7. Magistrate Judge Day relied on the fact that courts enjoy substantial discretion in the management of discovery and reasoned that three of the Defendant's question were plainly outside the scope of the Rule 30(b)(6) notice of the deposition. Id. at *10. As for the fourth question that the EEOC challenged, Magistrate Judge Day held that it was proper for the EEOC to instruct Miaskoff not to answer because "privilege is an appropriate ground for instructing a deponent not to answer a question." Id. at *12. Magistrate Judge Day held that the fifth and final question that the EEOC challenged was reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and therefore the EEOC was not justified in instructing Miaskoff not to answer on relevancy grounds. Id. at *11. Nevertheless, Magistrate Judge Day held that it was unnecessary to compel an additional deposition because "further questioning would be redundant…" Id. at *26. Additionally, the Magistrate Judge Day denied the Defendant's request for sanctions.
Implications For Employers
Discovery disputes are often hotly contested matters. Motions to compel can be particularly vital to a party's case because one answer has the ability to un-hinge a massive trunk of pertinent information. In other words, "knowledge is power." Thus, Magistrate Judge Day's ruling limits Defendant's available arguments against the EEOC in this case.

Forsythia is my favourite sign of Spring arriving. I think I like it even more than cherry blossom and magnolia flowers. I stare in wonder at it's beauty, as it forms hedges and trees. It's everywhere I turn at the moment.
The vibrant yellow shines against the blue sky. And all too quickly it's delicate flowers are gone.
These amazing pictures are not by me, but this weekend I'm challenging myself to take a photograph of this gorgeous plant and try to capture it's beauty before it disappears for a whole other year.
What's your favourite sign of Spring? Is it different in your part of the world?

Tesla bought bitcoin with Coinbase
By Marco Cavicchioli - 18 Feb 2021
Tesla's bitcoin purchases were allegedly made through Coinbase.
This is what The Block reveals, but without citing the origin of this information.
According to "sources familiar with the deal", Coinbase carried out the purchases on behalf of Tesla during the first week of February, over the course of several days.
Neither Coinbase nor Tesla have responded to specific requests for confirmation to this effect, so they have declined to deny it for now.
However, something similar has already happened with MicroStrategy, and since Elon Musk seems to have started to take an interest in this possibility with the help of MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, the assumption that Tesla has also used Coinbase is more than legitimate.
Musk posted #bitcoin on the biography of his official Twitter profile on January 28th, 2021, at which point the price of BTC rose from $31,000 to $34,000, and then rose further the next day to $38,000.
On February 1st, however, it was back down to $33,000, and until February 6th it remained below $40,000.
If the assumption that Tesla's purchases were made during the first week of February is correct, then it is conceivable that they were made after the price increase due to Elon Musk's tweets, and at an average price that could be around $35,000.
They would also have been made after the hypothesis of a bitcoin purchase by Tesla began to circulate among various experts. This hypothesis began to circulate as early as December 20th, 2020, when Musk asked Saylor via Twitter whether such purchases were possible. At that time, the price of bitcoin was $23,000, 52% lower than the price at which Tesla is assumed to have actually bought BTC.
Therefore, almost a month and a half would have passed from the first rumours of a possible Tesla investment to the actual time of purchase.
How did Tesla buy bitcoin with Coinbase?
These BTC purchases are said to have been made using various over-the-counter (OTC) trading desks and, according to The Block, the same source also revealed that Coinbase now has more than five Fortune 500 companies as clients.
At this point, it seems safe to assume that other major companies, such as Tesla, may be making similar choices regarding their cash reserve policies.

City Region Deal to tackle digital skills gap
A major part of the Edinburgh and South East City Region Deal is given the go-ahead today. The £661m Data Driven Innovation scheme will train 100,000 people in data skills over the next decade, from computer science specialists to traditional jobs that will increasingly use data.
The University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University announce that they will work together to train 100,000 people in data skills and help 1,000 organisations through data

Two of our universities, The University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University, have today launched a new plan to improve digital skills across south east Scotland.
They say that this new venture will transform Edinburgh and its surrounding area into the data capital of Europe. This was promised by the Prime Minister when she visited Edinburgh to sign the deal last month.
Prime Minister arriving at The Informatics Building
It is estimated that Scotland needs around 13,000 extra workers each year with data skills as the workplace is transformed. The Scottish Government's Digital Strategy, published in 2017, included plans to tackle this digital skills gap while growing the Scottish economy.
Together, the two universities will increase the provision of data science teaching for their students, and support schools and colleges across the region to provide digital skills teaching and training. The region's supercomputing capabilities will also be strengthened with investment in a data analysis facility, which will help 1,000 organisations use data to innovate within their sectors.
Secretary of State for Scotland, David Mundell, said: "This exciting project – backed by £270m of UK Government investment – will ensure that the UK leads the world in technologies of the future and benefits from the economic growth opportunities this brings.
"By giving 100,000 people, and 1,000 companies, the skills and capability they need to drive innovation through big data and artificial intelligence, this partnership working will help maximise the potential of these sectors – a key goal of the UK Government's Modern Industrial Strategy."
Professor Charlie Jeffery, Senior Vice Principal, University of Edinburgh, said: "The University's strengths in data science have been driving innovation in the public and private sectors, for the past decade and more, through our research and the skills our graduates bring into the regional economy. The City Region Deal will now give us the capacity to do much more across a wider range of sectors, including healthcare, robotics and fintech. But perhaps the most important part of the Deal is our commitment to ensure people in the region can build the skills to flourish in the data-driven economy.
"So we are working not just in our universities, but also with schools, colleges and businesses so people have the opportunities to develop data skills across their life-course. This could include young people about to enter the workforce, women returning after career breaks, or people looking to reskill in mid-career. We know that data-driven innovation will bring economic growth – we want that growth to be inclusive and open to all."
Professor Richard A Williams, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Heriot-Watt University, said: "By working in partnership we can ensure our city community can prosper and achieve its obvious potential as the leading international research hub for digital innovation. Our frontier research and educational skills in digital technology and its application in artificial intelligence and robotics are already shaping and driving the future and taking Scottish innovation to the world."
Jarmo Eskelinen has been appointed to lead the Data-Driven Innovation initiative. He comes to Edinburgh from his previous role as Chief Innovation and Technology Officer of the London-based Future Cities Catapult initiative.
Welcoming his new role, Jarmo Eskelinen said: "Data is the new soil, and collaboration the seeds. The Data-Driven Innovation initiative is unique in its ambition and scale. It's been designed to reach out to the whole City Region, so we can develop and test new services to meet the needs of our citizens.
"I am extremely honoured to join the programme team and have the chance to collaborate with and learn from the world-leading experts of the two Universities. I look forward to helping a diverse range of organisations benefit from the fast-developing field of data-driven innovation."
The £1.3bn Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal was announced by the Prime Minister and First Minister at the University of Edinburgh on 7 August. It aims to drive growth for everyone across the area and includes investment in transport, housing, culture and skills and employability.

Zanzuccki Media Center Dedicated at Ribbon-Cutting Event
Marina Misitano, Editor
Faculty and administrators within the Shields School of Business dedicated and officially opened the Zanzuccki Communications Media Center on the ground floor of Schwab Hall on Aug. 30.
Dave DeGol, whose family donated money to the project and requested that the Communications Program's new facility be named in honor of Dr. Albert Zanzuccki, spoke at the dedication ceremony.
Zanzuccki was chairman of the Saint Francis business program from 1946-84. "Dr. Zan" served as a professor of accounting and also worked in the school's Advancement Office after retiring as a faculty member.
"My father always looked up to Dr. Zan," said DeGol a 1970 graduate of Saint Francis who had Zanzuccki as a teacher during his undergraduate studies.
"He (Zanzuccki) was your father while you were on this campus," said DeGol.
The ribbon was cut by upperclass students in the Communications Program, University administrators and faculty members, as well as two of Zanzuccki's daughters, Linda Myron (Saint Francis Class of 1972) and Regina Ponchione (Saint Francis Class of 1976).
Both of Zanzuccki's daughters spoke about their father's love for Saint Francis at the ribbon-cutting event.
The new Media Center replaces the Communications Program's former MacLab, which had been located on the ground floor of Scotus Hall. Communications and Marketing students will work on audio and video production and design and editing projects at the Zanzuccki Media Center and the center will serve as the headquarters for the Troubadour, Saint Francis' student new outlet.
"The new center is conveniently located next to Adamucci's Café, has a great view of the football field, and holds attractive signage and design that provide Communications students with a tangible identity within the school," said Kelly Rhodes, chair of the Communications and Criminal Justice Department.
The Communications Program moved from the former School of Arts and Letters into the Shields School of Business during last year's University-wide academic reorganization.
Faculty within the Communications and Marketing programs at the University have been working on ways for students in both majors to pursue coursework within these complementary disciplines since last year's reorganization.
In addition to a Communications major, the Communications Program also offers SFU students the opportunity to pursue a Communications minor or Digital Media concentration.


Good Morning everyone and HAPPY YULE! Yule is the Winter Solstice and today, the 21st, is the shortest day of the year. Yule starts today officially and the holiday will end on New Year's Day. My girlfriend Suzy Owen who I've mentioned in the past and did a feature on is from New Zealand and is celebrating the Spring Solstice today. I plan on posting more pictures of my Yule decorations later on this evening but wanted to wish you all a Happy Winter Solstice. Enjoy the day!

Q: What is conditions evaluations in spring boot? I have two identical branches in my spring boot project repository. When I compared two branches in gitlab, it shows only differences in only two files:

However, when I run one of the branch, it shows following in the output:
2023-02-08 03:51:30.368 DEBUG 26312 --- [  restartedMain] ConditionEvaluationReportLoggingListener :

============================
CONDITIONS EVALUATION REPORT
============================

Positive matches:
-----------------

   AopAutoConfiguration matched:
      - @ConditionalOnProperty (spring.aop.auto=true) matched (OnPropertyCondition)

   AopAutoConfiguration.AspectJAutoProxyingConfiguration matched:
      - @ConditionalOnClass found required class 'org.aspectj.weaver.Advice' (OnClassCondition)

   AopAutoConfiguration.AspectJAutoProxyingConfiguration.CglibAutoProxyConfiguration matched:
      - @ConditionalOnProperty (spring.aop.proxy-target-class=true) matched (OnPropertyCondition)

...

However such output is not there when I run other branch. Why is this so?
Update
I found something weird in gitlab comparison UI. When I tried to check .project file in right side repo, it was not there. The file was not there. It was there in left side repo. Somehow UI is showing file contents swapped? Also when I swap the branches in the comparison UI, it shows quite a lot differences. I thought it will only change green lines to red lines. But that was not the case. It was show more files with changes. Why is this so?

VMware has advised of a total of 93 vulnerabilities in several of its products, including ESX Server, Server, VirtualCenter and vCenter. Most of the vulnerabilities are in Java, Tomcat and the kernel and have been known for some time. Some of them can be exploited to compromise a system, however, the advisory notes that flaws in the Service Console kernel and JRE can only be exploited when an attacker has access to the Service Console network.
Currently, updates have only been released for some of the affected products, such as ESX 4.0 and vCenter 4.0. According to VMware, security updates for the other products are pending completion.


When people ask me what is my favorite dish of ALL times, I can't help but say Lamb curry but having said that I am very fussy about the lamb curry I like. This is the one that I was used to having since childhood and never got bored of it, rather appreciated even more when I grew up. I have obviously made my own twists and turns in this but this is one dish that always has been a hit whenever I have made it for anyone!
Your lamb curry is ready to be served with boiled rice or Polaw Rice.
I think I remember this one!
Lamb curry done right is phenomenal. This recipe sounds awesome. Thanks for the share!

Dance show culminates historic year

Keppel's Girls Dance Team performs their own gun control contemporary routine. THE AZTEC/TIMOTHY CHUMAN.
Mark Keppel's Dance Company has thrived in the national spotlight this year, and after quite possibly their best year in program history, they concluded the year with their eighth annual dance show last Friday night.
"This was the first year that I was able to stand in the tech booth in the back and watch the show from beginning to end without ever going backstage once," said director Activate Arroyo. "It makes me feel like after being here for eight years, the program is finally a well-oiled machine that I don't constantly have to have my hands over for it to function well."
The show, featuring 45 solo and group performances from All Male, Dance team and the Beginner and Intermediate dance classes, was a fitting way to celebrate the achievements of this year's program. The program took on a lighter genre this year, using entertainment-themed backgrounds such as Charlie Brown, Lion King and High School Musical to go along with the performances.
"This year, I wanted to use the projections to set the ambiance and atmosphere and because we were trying to do something light and colorful, I thought it was effective," said Arroyo.
While the lighter theme set the tone for the night, Dance Team's gun control contemporary routine preached a more serious message, one that they felt was necessary to convey through their performance.
"Sometimes, when you're presented with a problem like gun violence or lack of gun control, it takes more than just looking at the news to put two and two together. The fact that we've had a normalcy of lockdowns here at Keppel, it's becoming normal and that is something that didn't exist when I was in high school," said Arroyo. "I think using dance to address a problem that is societal in our country, to make a political commentary, is appropriate for students trying to develop their own voice with regard to what they feel is important to them beyond prom and clubs and getting good grades."
The idea of dance extending beyond the stage was something that also helped form a relationship between Dance Company and one of their fellow competitors on World of Dance, Get Down District. Along with Glendale High School, Get Down District made a special guest appearance, adding to the talented lineup of performances in the show.
"We connected on set during the filming of the show because they understand that there aren't many dance studios in the area, so for us to invite students from a dance studio that's just starting and making a national name for themselves in Rosemead, I'm hoping we can bridge the gap and do more collaborations in the future," said Arroyo.
Ultimately, it was the seniors who earned the spotlight on Friday night, as the dance show was their last hurrah as part of Dance Company. Though their decorated season saw many successes, the reality of their dance careers coming to an end hit hard for the seniors.
"We've been dancing almost the whole entire year and of course we're tired of practicing, but toward the end of the dance show, we started to feel really sad because it's the end of our dancing career," said co-captain Kristie Quan.

Your Biggest Security Risk Could Be You!
Setting healthy boundaries is an important part of self-care. Boundaries allow us to take better care of ourselves, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
Having poor boundaries may mean that you have difficulties in making decisions or you may feel guilty when you may potentially let people down and therefore can't use the 'no' word.
When your personal radar (your self-awareness) takes a break, you can find yourself oversharing. Oversharing is a sign that you have a distinct lack of personal boundaries – and we forget or don't realise that its inappropriate to discuss relationship issues or to reveal financial problems etc.
People who lack boundaries sometimes lack close relationships… most likely because they have driven people away. This means they often don't have close confidants who are interested in hearing about their personal issues. A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect, in my experience.
Consciousness is awareness, and self-awareness is when you are being present at all times. Having a lack of self-awareness, means you're letting your unconscious mind take over – you're not thinking. You're carried away in the conversation, you're on autopilot and the words are out of your mouth before you know it!
Absolutely, there needs to be a level of conversation where you have a level of transparency to build rapport and trust, however, some things are better not communicated with others.
And what I mean by that is that I am a very private person, actually I am very much an introvert where I get my energy from being at home with my family. Most who know me know my husband, my son and my dogs, that's no secret but what goes on at home I keep that private.
There has to be a level of 'privacy' or what I call 'hidden self' – The 'public self' is only the clothes you wear and the 'private self' we hide these away and refuse to discuss them with other people or even expose them in any way shape or form because they are 'private'.
And some of these' private' or 'hidden' elements may be embarrassing or shameful in some way. They may also be 'fearful' or seek to avoid being discussed for reasons of vulnerability. Between the 'public' and 'private' selves, there are partly 'private' – and partly 'public' aspects of ourselves that we are prepared to share only with trusted others.
We all have different drivers – some people have an internal reference which involves in what they want to do by being driven by their own thoughts, feelings and internal authority. They take action without needing external approval. They don't worry if their co-workers think what they did was a good idea or not. These kind of individuals, need very little feedback, they are very clear about their priorities and outcome.
But then there are other kinds of personalities – those who do seek validation, approval and acceptance, where they can't make a decision on their own and therefore need the guidance and advice of others. And this really boils down to a lack of 'trust' to make their own judgments.
Most individuals seek 'validation' because they're not comfortable in their own skin, and then there are some who seek validation to justify their actions. There is no right or wrong here, we are all authentic human beings having a human experience.
The onIy way to stop caring so much about what others' think, is to start trusting yourself more and believing in you! To do this, you need to build rapport with that greater part of your mind. At first, it's okay to take one step forward and two steps back, you can start to combine the two by making an internal decision first, which will build your 'confidence' and then you can gain some feedback to see if you are on track.
We tend to each have a great need to feel important – 'significant', unique, special and needed. This need falls under the most fundamental human drivers for 'connection' and 'love' – this undeniable strong feeling of closeness or union with someone or something.
When you over-share or lack discretion, you can cause damage to your personal brand or 'sabotage' your own success. And this is because your unconscious limiting beliefs are playing out.
To help shed some light on those limiting beliefs which strive to play out all the time is to step back and give yourself the time to think, to be the observer of your thoughts …. And without judgment, just sit there and be curious. Put yourself under the microscope.
Journalling is a great way to get these unconscious beliefs out because once your beliefs are on paper then you can see them clearly.
The greatest act of love and respect is to give someone your attention, and I am talking about your undivided attention. That is one of the greatest gift you can give yourself and others. Attention is one of the rarest and purest form of generosity and if we gave it freely, we wouldn't have others seeking it so much.
When we don't give ourselves enough time and attention, we begin to lack self-worth and then find ourselves seeking attention from others.
Some people think that they are overlooked and so they think that the only solution to restore their balance is to bring back the lost attention. Or… it could be that they are so bored with their life that they try to get a reaction or to provoke to excite, arouse, or call into some sort of action. How often do you worry about what other people think of you?
You, my friend, are an explorer …!
You are on a mission to observe and document the world as YOU see it, feel it and think it. It's not your business to worry about how others perceive it. Sure, other points of view are interesting, but being mindful of how you move around in the world is really where your power lies. Keep a record of your life, this is how we discover the mystical parts that we may miss if we were in a whirl spin of just going through the motions.
To create more consciousness, you have to become present and practice pausing daily!! And the way you do this is to pay attention to what's actually happening. Ask yourself, what am I trying to achieve here? Then acknowledge your own reactions, interpretations and judgements about the whole situation. This will help you give 'insight' into others, and once you have a level of self-awareness then you will completely understand why others react, interpret and why they judge you the way they do.
When you are the observer of your life, you are therefore always searching for the most empowering, and productive way to deal with any situation, this is the place where magic really happens – it is worth your time and energy.
The way that I do it is by asking myself Insightful questions – always ask a question before you put your mouth into first gear and rev!!
For what purpose am I sharing this information with this individual?
What am I going to gain from exposing myself or being vulnerable?
What impact will this have on my personal brand?
STOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION!! And remember – be kind to yourself. We all make mistakes; the key is to take something positive from them. If you've damaged your brand or a relationship … what did you learn?

During this vinyasa-flow practice appropriate for all levels of experience, you'll be introduced to Andrea's signature tools to transform negativity into possibility… your Stuckat List, and your Possibility Pose.
Unite starts where Awaken and Transform concludes. Through a united or community-centered practice we recognize our connections to each other are more powerful than practicing life on our own. Yoga encourages us to turn inward, ultimately so that we can reach out. This vinyasa-flow style practice offers modifications for all skill levels as well as opportunities for arm balances and inversions for those so inclined. It will include a juicy restorative finish with meditation.


Since 2005, Dr. Eggert, along with Eggert Family Dentistry, has awarded scholarships to deserving high school seniors. We currently contribute a total of $2,000 each year to four local high schools: Mounds View, Irondale, Centennial, and Spring Lake Park. We ask that our scholarships go to outstanding students planning on entering the dental field, including anyone who wishes to become a dentist, a dental hygienist, a dental assistant, or a dental lab technician.
We are able to name specific individuals for these scholarships so if you know someone that might fit the description, feel free to nominate that person before March of each year. Submit a paragraph or two to us about the person and why he or she is deserving.

The Future of Tech Is Here. Congress Isn't Ready for It
"There are still many senators that don't even use email—if you don't even use email how are you going to understand some of these other tools? We need folks that are running for office that understand these things."
That was the call from Will Hurd, former congressperson and author of the upcoming American Reboot: An Idealist's Guide to Getting Big Things Done, during WIRED's virtual CES HQ on Wednesday. Hurd advocated for cybersecurity, privacy, and responsible AI issues during his congressional tenure from 2015 to 2021. And in conversation with WIRED this week, he emphasized the need for the US government and state and local legislatures across the country to sharpen their understanding of the role of technology as misinformation, data abuse, and emerging technologies like AI become increasingly influential in domestic affairs and geopolitics.
One year after the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection, Hurd says the US is no more prepared than it was 12 months ago to deal with the ways that misinformation spreads on social media platforms and foments violence.
"I don't think we're better prepared to prevent that kind of insurrection from happening, and we're not better prepared to deal with one if it does happen," he told WIRED. "When it comes to Congress looking at and providing insights on how these tools should be used, we haven't seen much evolve from there. It's too much of a partisan fight. … We haven't been able to have a sober conversation about how these tools are being used to radicalize people."
Hurd argued that platforms need to continue expanding their community standards and enforcement policies. He discussed the importance of developing clear, fair liability policies, perhaps similar to standards for journalists and television networks. And he emphasized the challenge in the US of dealing with misinformation and conspiracy theories now that they have captured so much of the public discourse.
"These messages and this misinformation and disinformation and outright lies are being pushed and magnified by society, and so a handful of elected officials are not going to ultimately solve that broader problem," he said. "We need to educate the population on how these tools are supposed to be used and to be able to separate fact from fiction."
The stakes, Hurd says, are high both within the US and on the international stage. He noted that adversaries like China and Russia are adept at weaponizing misinformation against the US public and have fueled the flames of conspiracy theories.
"Our adversaries are taking advantage of some of these fissures in order to degrade our standing in the rest of the world," he says.
Of course, Hurd noted, few if any of the necessary changes are likely to happen unless Congress can overcome its ideological polarization to deliver long overdue legislation. If the US has been this slow to act on social media platforms that have been around for well over a decade, it seems ill-prepared to get ahead of upcoming challenges, from the metaverse to cryptocurrency to the ubiquity of AI.

A system dump of the "Facebook Phone" from HTC and the social media giant has leaked, giving us an indication of what will be announced at the 4 April media event.
Android Police was able to score the software, but was unable to sign in to some key areas, given its pre-release nature requiring Facebook employee credentials.
What we have learnt, however, is that the rumoured HTC Myst is indeed real and will be running Sense 4.5 with special Facebook integration dubbed "Facebook Home" that will run on top of Android 4.2.1 and Sense. Given references in the software, the Myst will have special access to photos, messaging and contacts to tie into Facebook's existing services.
Code for Facebook Home also reveals it may work on devices other than HTC's, as references to TouchWiz were found. This may suggest Facebook Home will be available to download from Google Play, like earlier media reports have already suggested.
The software further confirmed specifications for the Myst that EvLeaks of UnwiredView previously reported on. The specifications quite honestly sound boring. The Myst will boast a 4.3-inch 720p screen, 1GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel camera and the dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 processor. It has already rolled through the FCC with AT&T bands - other carriers are currently unknown.
Of course, things are always likely to change between the pre-release software and 4 April. We'll bring you the latest as we get it!

Howdy. After reading that the site was getting low on source images, I recently donated some photos that I took. Some of the photos are going to be the featured image in the coming days. Ethical question: Do you think I should be able to submit entries to contests where I'm the photographer of the source image? I mean, I can use all the help I can get, but would it give me an unfair advantage? What do you think?
People have done it before.
It's not anything to worry about.
I dont have a problem with you providing some source photo's if the site needs them"..the more fresh source photo's the better" You may have more time to get idea's but sometimes the best idea's can be spontanious".. We go through source photo's like water, so I can understand why more source is needed what if we ran out of source not!
OR we could could call it "Advantage Plus"
graciously put up as source.
I regret not chopping them.
chop- there's nothing wrong with that.
Besides- you don't really get a head start- you never know which ones he'll use and won't use.
go for it qlt. If as scion said, you won't know which pic he'll use on a particular day. Plus think of it as a reward for submitting the source in the first place.
I sent a whole bunch of images, and think they might use several. Maybe, if I submit that day, I'll just make sure that the author's comments include that I took the source...that way, people who think it's unfair can choose not to vote for it...or leave a snide comment about my deluxe advantage...at which point I'll refer them to this forum topic!
maybe you can chop it in advance, and than post a day later but don't hesitate to post. This site is for the fun of everyone. So if you like to compete, do so.
Tiff, I'd be thrilled to see your photos -- then chop 'em till they cry (wait that's not me, that's Marco)...still I think all's fair in war and photoshop contests. We're looking forward to seeing your photos and entries too!!!!
How exactly do I submit a source image? Is there someone I can PM it too? I have a few that I'd love to see what you guys can do with.
I don't understand what difference would it make when she is sponsor of this site anyway.
She, like many advantage members, will be able to chop 7 days ahead anyway, so just because the sources are yours Queen, I don't see any big advantage or difference from what other advantage members have now.
how does one submit a source pic?
Thanks for the feedback, you guys. It seems like most people think the way I do about this, but it's good to know for sure.
I think I ended up submitting photos because I saw something in the news section of the site that said PSC was running low on source images. I sent a PM to the moderators, and they took it from there. I think if you email a link to where your photos are hosted, they will just download them.


Error: "The client does not have access to this site"
How do I configure Bentley products to use a proxy server?
How do I encrypt licensing transmissions sent to SELECTserver?
Message "no license available for this product"
SELECTserver OnLine (i.e. the "hosted" server or Bentley CONNECT SELECTservices) is Bentley's licensing solution on the Internet. It is intended to be a simple, straightforward way for users to activate and report usage for their products without requiring the setup and administration of an in-house license server. Only a periodic Internet connection on client machines is required to ensure that Bentley products can report their outstanding usage to remain activated.
This support solution primarily addresses questions and concerns from users that are transitioning from an in-house (i.e. "deployed") SELECTserver to SELECTserver OnLine. Questions or concerns not covered below can be posed in the Licensing and Activation forum.
Does SELECTserver OnLine cost extra?
No, Bentley offers SELECTserver OnLine at no cost to users because it greatly simplifies the setup, administration, and support of the licensing component.
What happens to my in-house SELECTserver after the migration?
For transitional purposes, the in-house (i.e. "deployed") SELECTserver will continue to function for 30 days from the day the migration is performed. This provides time for machines to be switched gradually to ensure a smooth transition. The SELECTserver will disable itself afterwards since it can no longer successfully send usage to Bentley. Consequently, it can be safely removed.
How do I configure client machines to use SELECTServer OnLine?
Product Activation Wizard: The following support solution provides step-by-step instructions for activating a product against SELECTserver OnLine.
Group Policy or LicenseToolCmd: To deploy the server name change across an entire office, Active Directory Group Policy is recommended. However, Bentley also provides a command-line licensing utility called LicenseToolCmd which can be executed from a batch script if necessary.
What changes to the network must be made to ensure that client machines can access SELECTserver OnLine?
The SELECTserver licensing system purposely uses standard web browsing protocols to pass through most firewalls without any special configuration. The following support solution provides further details.
If a proxy server is used to access the Internet, the License Management Tool must be configured to use it. To enter the settings, open the License Management Tool, select Options from the Tools menu, and click the Proxy Configuration tab. Proxy settings, if present at all, can be obtained from the Internet Options control panel or from a system administrator.
What happens if a connection to the Internet is lost?
Most Bentley products will function for at least seven (7) days before requiring communication with the license server. If a connection to the Internet is lost temporarily, products will switch to disconnected mode and display an activation dialog when opened for the first time that day. The activation dialog displays the number of days remaining before communication is required. Once the connection is restored, products will automatically reactivate as they are opened for the first time that day.
How do I start the migration process?
Please refer to the following support solution titled Converting from a Deployed SELECTserver to Bentley CONNECT SELECTservices.
What information do client machines transmit to SELECTserver OnLine?
The following diagram posted on Bentley Communities shows the information transmitted to the SELECTserver OnLine. It receives the same data that client machines currently send to your deployed SELECTserver. No information is hashed since the online server needs the user and machine names to generate usage reports just like your deployed server.
Can client machines encrypt the usage data sent to SELECTserver OnLine?
By default, client machines send usage information to the license server using the HTTP protocol which is not encrypted since deployed servers rarely are configured with an SSL certificate. However, the online server has one using 256-bit SHA-2 RSA encryption. So Bentley highly recommends configuring clients to enable the "Use HTTPS (SSL)" checkbox in the License Management Tool when using the online server.
Where does SELECTserver OnLine physically reside, and who operates it?
SELECTserver OnLine is based in a Microsoft Azure data center located in the United States. Note that our static IP address (191.237.154.77) was originally reserved for use in Brazil, but Microsoft has since repurposed it for use in the United States because of the shortage of available IPv4 addresses. While major geolocation services should show the correct location, some may show a discrepancy.
How does SELECTserver OnLine differ from my deployed SELECTserver?
The following support solution provides some additional information regarding the differences between a deployed server and Bentley's online server.


Social media accounts are more than just places to upload pictures of your food, pets or lattes. They're powerful tools that help create a sense of community among like-minded individuals and your sports team is no different.
Consider the way businesses operated before credit cards. Chances are you can't—but before the 1950s, many businesses did just that. In fact, it was fairly common practice to allow customers to keep tabs, which they would (hopefully) pay back later. To keep track of these tabs, merchants would use ledgers. Needless to say, the process was tedious at best. Imagine if you had to flip through the pages of a ledger book to access a customer's records simply to add that $19.99.
At Amilia, we're about more than building great software—we're about building a great relationship with you. In fact, we wouldn't be where we are today without you. It's for this very reason we decided to take to the proverbial streets to get feedback from our current customers.
Anyone who's ever tried to write blog posts that funnel lots of organic traffic to your site knows how hard it can be. With over 150 million blogs on the internet, how do you make yours stand out and win those valuable clicks? Luckily, consistently standing out in a crowd that dense is easier than it sounds.

Journey to the Centre of the Milky Way
What lies at the heart of our galaxy? For twenty years, ESO's Very Large Telescope and the Keck telescopes have observed the centre of the Galaxy, looking at the motion of more than a hundred stars and identifying the position of an otherwise invisible object — the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy.
Embark on a Journey to the Centre of the Milky Way and during seven minutes travel faster than light, from the driest place on Earth, the Atacama Desert in Chile right to the centre of our own galaxy, where a black hole is consuming anything that strays into its path. 84 million stars will appear in front of your eyes, each hiding mysteries waiting to be solved. Are there planets around them, perhaps with moons? Do they have water? Could they harbour life?
Journey to the Centre of the Milky Way is the first fulldome planetarium mini-show produced in-house by ESO for its Planetarium and Visitor Centre, the ESO Supernova, due to open in 2017. Available for free in 4k resolution, the mini-show can be downloaded and used by any planetarium in the world.

Our investigation on Corrida reveals: cruelty and public health hazard financed by CAP!
With a recent international video-investigation carried out by our investigative unit, we reveal new shocking background of bullfighting, unveiling public health hazard implied by these bloody shows, that incredibly receive European public funding!
It's unacceptable that corrida – a show that should be banned for obscenity and violence against the bulls, and that cannot be considered a tradition to be defended - is financed with public funds!
"Bullfighting is an unacceptable show, contested for years because it is contrary to ethics and the protection of animals, non-educational offered to children, even though 84% of young Spaniards disapprove of this show - Roberto Bennati, LAV General Manager says - Today more than ever, in the Covid-19 emergency, ignoring the health risks of arenas where the blood of these animals is sown, slaughtered on the spot in the same building and with dubious standards of health safety, it is an irresponsible act!"
Bullfighting benefits from European public subsidies despite the contrary will of the EU Parliament: at the end of October 2015, in fact, the European Parliament (with 438 yes, 199 no and 50 abstentions) approved an amendment to the 2016 budget which provides no use of "CAP funds (common agricultural policy) or any other European funding line to economically support bullfighting activities involving the death of the bull".
CAP grants make up to 31,6% of the income for farms intended for bullfighting, without which they would be unlikely to ensure economic sustainability. These funds are managed and distributed by the autonomous communities.
At this crucial moment of review of the CAP, it is necessary to introduce a measure that provides for the interruption of public finding to farms that allocate their bulls for Bullfighting
571 million euros: funds for bullfighting allocated by different Spanish authorities
about 130 million euros: the subsidies allocated by the European Union to bullfighting, essentially through the CAP
How can the European Union finance this cruelty? It is time to say "no": we urge the Commission and the EU Parliament to immediately stop subsidyzing Corrida with public funds (CAP) intended for agriculture and not for torture.
The unveiling, and broadcasting, of videos and information on the real situation of bullfights, fraudulent CAP public funds reception, and animal suffering documented by our Investigative Unit is carried out in collaboration with Animal Guardians and AVATMA Veterinary Association for the abolition of bullfighting and animal abuse - which we thank for completing and enriching this investigative work –– we hope that these images will help the Spanish associations to continue their battle of civilization against this unacceptable show made of suffering and cruelty on animals.

'Andor' Episode 7: Will Adria Arjona's Bix Caleen be seen again in the Diego Luna-starrer?
By Aharon Abhishek
Published on : 03:22 PST, Oct 17, 2022
Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen in 'Andor' (Disney+)
There have been two three-episode arcs in 'Andor' so far and the first one included Adria Arjona's Bix Caleen. However, the last three have all been about how the Rebellion — still functioning in pockets was planning on landing a punch against the Empire. As a result, some characters took a backseat and that includes the two women in the show — Arjona and Fiona Shaw's Maarva. The two could safely be called the more influential women in Cassian's (Diego Luna) life, and with five episodes to go, there's hope that these two will surface at some stage.
Arjona was last seen when Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) and his men launched a search for an Imperial gadget on Ferrix, and the '6 Underground' star was facilitating a secret rendezvous between Cassian and Luthen (Stellan Skarsgard). In the process, she loses the person she loves, and Cassian escapes the planet.
How 'Andor' Episode 7 will not be part of three-episode arcs seen so far
'Andor' Episode 6 Review: You don't need lightsabers and Jedi to make great Star Wars content
As to whether Caleen will return, the thoughts go back to her interview with Line where she spoke of her chemistry with Cassian. "They've been through a lot," Arjona previews. "There's trust that's been broken, you can feel that tension…. You can also feel the love that they have for each other. But time has never been on their side." This would mean that the future Rebel captain, for all the bravado and the nerves of steel, looks at someone he could come back to, and that leads to the question if Caleen is the one. The series hasn't necessarily given him a love interest so far, and it remains to be seen if Caleen is that person.
The new arc starts from Episode 8 and will run till Episode 10. Chapters 11 and 12 will serve as the final arc in the series before the story moves on to an already greenlit Season 2. So if there is a return to Ferrix at any of these points, then Caleen would be one of the familiar faces.
