Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he "wasn't specifically walking" with MMA fighter Conor McGregor when they lined up at the front of St Patrick's Day parade in Chicago.
The Taoiseach has tried to distance himself from the controversial Dubliner who he said has had "some trouble with the law".
However, he defended a photo-op with movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger during a previous trip to America.
Although never convicted of a crime, Schwarzenegger has previously apologised for having "stepped over the line several times" with women.
He denied going to "great lengths" to avoid being photographed with McGregor in Chicago.
"Conor McGregor was there I believe at the invitation of the plumbers' union," he said.

ROBBIE MUTCH SIGNS UNTIL 2021
Falkirk FC is delighted to announce that goalkeeper, Robbie Mutch has agreed a contract extension until June 2021.
The young stopper had a tremendous season after joining from Aberdeen FC last summer.
Following a number of stand-out performances for the Development Squad, Robbie was handed his first team debut by Paul Hartley in a 0-0 draw with Livingston FC in December.
The goalkeeper continued to progress and was named Young Player of the Year at our 2018 Gala Awards last month, before going on to put in a terrific performance and claim Man of the Match in our final day victory over St Mirren.
Manager Paul Hartley, said: "I am absolutely delighted to have Robbie committed to the club for the next three years.
"Robbie is an outstanding young goalkeeper who is continuing to progress at a terrific rate. I think his potential came to fruition with his performance against St Mirren at the end of the season.
"It is very important to us to have our best young talent signed up and we are really excited to see Robbie continue to progress and develop with us."

According to David Broucher, Britain's Ambassador to the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, in testimony to the Hutton Inquiry, in late February, 2003, he had asked Kelly "What do you think will happen if Iraq is invaded?" Kelly answered, "I will probably be found dead in the woods."13 In this statement, Kelly implied, according to Broucher, that his death would be by some one else's hands, not his own.

Police Beat: A repeat trespasser and stolen feminine products
Ramona Ramdeen, Police Reporter
On July 8th, UNFPD was dispatched to The Fountains where a group was causing a disturbance in the lobby. Upon questioning the group, it was revealed that they were all minors.
Further investigation by UPD officers revealed that there was an incident at The Fountains earlier that morning. According to the Resident Living Coordinator, several subjects pushed past her when they were caught drinking alcohol, in the lounge area, on the 3rd floor.
According to the report, the R.L.C requested that one particular subject be trespassed from UNF property because she left the earlier scene after being told to wait for the police.
The subject was underage, not a UNF student, and causing a disturbance. The subject stated that she understood the trespass and left the property.
The other subjects also left the property.
Repeat Offender
On July 9, UPD responded to a call in the Osprey Fountains in reference to an individual who had been previously trespassed from the UNF Campus and was now back on campus harassing the complainant.
Upon arrival, UNFPD met with the complainant, who stated that he and his friends have been having issues with the listed subject and some of her friends. The complainant stated that the subject was issued a trespass warning the day before, but saw her the next day around noon as he was driving on campus.
He saw the subject riding a yellow bicycle on the bridge that leads from UNF Drive to the Osprey Fountains.
The complainant stated that the subject threw two eggs at the driver's side of his vehicle. UPD was able to see some minor scratches and egg residue where the eggs hit the vehicle.
The complainant stated that he did not want a report and he did not want to pursue criminal charges, he just wanted the subject to leave him alone. UPD contacted the subject's mother who stated the subject was home all day and had not left the premises. UPD also spoke with said subject, who denied throwing eggs at the complainant's vehicle. She also stated she was home the whole day.
A review of surveillance video was conducted and a white female (blond hair, black yoga pants, gray tank top) is seen riding a yellow bicycle on the wooden bridge toward the Osprey Fountains. The video surveillance was too grainy to identify the subject.
Case of the Missing Tampons
On July 10, UNFPD responded to a call about the possible theft of feminine hygiene products from building 12.
According to the police report, the Superintendent of Building Services stated that he received a call from one of his employees stating that the feminine hygiene dispenser was open and empty.
The Superintendent then informed the officer that the products were supplied by the UNF Student Government.
The officer made contact with the Director of Student Government, who stated that the items in the dispenser were provided to the Physical Facilities department and they were being given away for free.
According to police reports, the officer did not see any signs of forced entry into the dispenser. A check of the surveillance camera for the area of the second floor was conducted but it did not reveal any pertinent information. There was no video surveillance in the immediate area of the bathroom.
Patrol efforts were suspended.

US CATV Channel Frequencies • Overview Click here for
This page is intended as a supplement to the article on designing CATV and MATV distribution systems. It will inform those who are new to cable about the various channels and their true carrier frequencies. This information is required in order to design the cable distribution network for the highest desired operating frequency.
There are two frequency charts that are linked from this page. One chart covers the standard over-the-air broadcast channel numbers and their frequencies. The second chart provides data for the standard cable channels (CATV / EIA). The standard broadcast channels are the twelve VHF channels 2 through 6 and 7 through 13. The UHF channels are numbered 14 to 83, but some of these channels have been reassigned to other types of non-television communications services. All of these broadcast channels have three valid frequencies for each and every channel. The frequency shown for each channel is the "center frequency" of the NTSC visual carrier for that channel. In order to minimize interference between two television stations that could share the same channel number, a 10-kilohertz frequency offset is assigned to television stations that are nearby (200 miles is typical). The three valid picture carrier frequencies for a US television station operating on channel 2 would be 55.240 MHz, 55.250 MHz and 55.260 MHz. There are no other channel 2 video transmitter frequencies for use in the United States. The same plus and minus 10 kilohertz spacings apply to all VHF and UHF television channels for broadcast transmission in the US.
The color and sound information contained in an NTSC television signal will have the following frequency offsets from the video carrier frequencies. The color sub-carrier has a frequency of 3.579545 MHz. This sub-carrier is phase modulated with the color information of the picture and occupies approximately 1 MHz of bandwidth. The sound carrier is a frequency modulated signal with an average frequency of 4.5 MHz, plus or minus 1 kilohertz. The occupied bandwidth of this signal is approximately 75 kilohertz or less. When digital television signals become widespread, there will be a single carrier with all video and audio information as part of the digital bit stream. The resulting quadrature modulated carrier will be centered in the 6 MHz channel. The standard NTSC video carriers are normally 1.25 MHz above the lower band edge of the channel, while the sound carrier is 0.25 MHz below the upper band edge of the channel. These two offsets are the result of the 4.5 MHz difference in the two carrier frequencies.
As for the cable channels, there are different rules. Since the signals are to be kept inside the coaxial cable environment, many additional channel frequencies exist. In the event of signal leakage into the air, the channels which could interfere with aviation radio navigation and communications have frequency offsets applied to them of 12.5 kilohertz or 25 kilohertz. Any other cable channel which does not pose a risk to aviation frequencies will not have a frequency offset.

Home Analysis Under the microscope: Chelsea's front three in the absence of strikers Lukaku...
Under the microscope: Chelsea's front three in the absence of strikers Lukaku and Werner
Chelsea are currently placed at the top of the 2021-22 Premier League standings with 26 points from their 11 games. They are three points clear of Man City and West Ham United, who are in second and third respectively, and are four points clear of fourth-placed Liverpool. The Blues have proven themselves to be the best defensive unit in the league, along with being one of the best of the attacking sides. They have conceded just four goals so far, with Manchester City the only other team to concede less than 10 goals, with six.
The Blues have had the fourth-highest xG generation in the league with an xG of 19.37, which they have highly over-achieved by scoring 27 times. They have also scored 27 goals, only less than Liverpool, who have scored 31. The Blues have had 15 different goal scorers in the league and 17 in all competitions and are also currently second in their UEFA Champions League group.
In their Champions League game against Malmo at Stamford Bridge which they won 4-0, both centre-forwards, Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, picked up injuries. Since then, Thomas Tuchel has used Kai Havertz as his number nine in all the games and has shifted between Mason Mount, Hakim Ziyech, and Callum Hudson-Odoi along with Havertz. Thomas Tuchel has also been using his full-backs to full effect, with Reece James being his top scorer with four goals, while Chillwel has scored three, with Alonso scoring one as well. In this post, we will have a look at the stats of various players playing for Thomas Tuchel at the moment, including Reece James, Mason Mount, and Kai Havertz.
The above viz shows the attacking and creativity dashboard for Chelsea's right wing-back, Reece James. James has been one of the best attacking players in the league and has scored the most goals in the league for Chelsea with four. He has also provided three assists, and his seven goals contributions are the most by any defender in the league. The black line in the above viz shows the average for the particular stat for all defenders in the Premier League. It is visible that the 21-year-old is better than average in almost all stats and is the best in terms of goals and shots taken.
Mason Mount was Chelsea's player of the 20-21 season but did not have the greatest of starts to the 21-22 season. He was on a kind of goal drought but came back on the scoresheet in style when he scored a hat-trick against Norwich City. His attacking and creativity dashboard in the viz clearly shows that he is much better than the average in almost all of the stats above. The 22-year-old midfielder is considered to be one of the most talented players in England and has a very bright future at his boyhood club Chelsea, where he's been since he was six.
Havertz has taken up the role of the centre-forward for the Blues in the absence of both Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner. He has started every game since their injury and has been playing as a false nine in the same role in which he played in the 20-21 UCL final. Havertz has scored twice in the league and once in the Carabao Cup, and he has been great at inking up play, being the focal point of the attack. He has taken very few shots so far, as visible from his shot map, and has scored all three goals this season from headers. He has shown his aerial ability and has been effective in scoring as well as defending from corners.
Chelsea have not been playing the greatest of football recently, but have still been able to get results in their favor, as they hold on to their three-point lead at the top of the table. They have been scoring freely despite the absence of both strikers, and have been getting goals from all different players this season. The Blues, under Thomas Tuchel, have been getting better and better, and with the return of both his strikers around the corner, he will expect his team to score many more goals in the coming weeks.

Q: Partition BigQuery materialized view on aggregated column I have a table logs with these columns:
timestamp sessionID elementID value
The logs table is partitioned on the timestamp column.
I create a materialized view out of it:
create materialized view X
partition by date(new_timestamp)
as
select min(timestamp) as new_timestamp, sessionID, elementID, sum(value) as sumvalue
from logs
group by sessionID, elementID

I am getting an error "Partitioning column of the materialized view must either match partitioning column or pseudo-column of the base table, or be a TIMESTAMP_TRUNC over it."
BigQuery doc says the only way to partition the materialized view is to use exactly the same partition column of the main table, even the min() operator on the column is not accepted. Do you know how I could achieve the result I want despite this limitation?

A: A fresh look on your question gave me a simple answer: Use timestamp directly!
Indeed, you will store in the materialized view only the min(timestamp). So, the partitioning/sharding of your data will be done by timestamp, min or max, it's not the purpose!

School Teacher Fighting to Change NSW (AU) Law After Being Photographed Naked By Nurse
Last edited 23rd June 2016
I would like you to imagine something for me. Imagine you have had a health scare, and need to go into hospital for some tests to determine whether you have cancer. The test is invasive, so you need to be under general anaesthetic while it occurs.
Imagine that five weeks later, you receive a call from the hospital telling you that you were cancer free, but that another matter needed to be discussed with you. Imagine them telling you that, while you were unconscious, a theatre nurse took a photograph of your genitalia and showed it to other nurses.
Imagine being told that while the nurse had been fired, the photo had not been checked for deletion before she left the hospital. Imagine learning that what the nurse did was not a criminal offence, and so there would be no further consequences for her.
And then imagine hearing that she had since found a new job and was working in another operating theatre among patients who were also unconscious and naked in the presence of this nurse (and her phone.)
What I have just described is not a fictional story; it happened to Brieana Rose* last year.
The hospital had to inform Brieana Rose because privacy laws in NSW required her to be informed. Had this not have been the case, the hospital would have had no legal obligations towards Brieana Rose at all.
The police were contacted and they interviewed the nurses to whom the image had been shown, but not the nurse who took the photo. In NSW, taking a photograph of a person's private parts is only a crime if it is done "to obtain, sexual arousal or sexual gratification". It's not a crime if it is done to make jokes about the person in the photograph, so the police could do nothing about it.
I don't know about Brieana Rose, but the knowledge that someone had taken a naked photo of me but not for sexual reasons would not provide me with any comfort. If anything, it would probably feed some of the worst fears I have about myself. It would confirm my fears that I am not "normal" like other women because a person whose job it is to care for the sick and vulnerable took out her mobile phone in a sterile environment and took a photo of my genitalia.
The knowledge would leave me wondering what was so awful or ridiculous about me that it was worthy of sharing. And I would repeat that question to myself every time I looked in the mirror.
If I had been to a hospital in my local area, I would wonder whether anyone I knew had seen the photo. If I had a son, like Brieana Rose does, then I would be wondering if he or his school friends had seen it. If, like Brieana Rose, I was a school teacher, I would wonder if my students had seen it.
These questions would haunt me.
Moving on from Brieana Rose for a moment, I want you to imagine another situation. Imagine that you have placed your mother or your father in a nursing home because you are not able to provide them with the same constant care that such a home can provide.
After thinking that you had done the best for your parent, imagine learning that the home had a "Genital Friday Club" where a nurse would take photographs of the private parts of elderly residents and staff would play a game where they had to guess which genitals belonged to which patient. Imagine learning that because the photos were not taken for the purposes of sexual gratification, then the conduct was not criminal.
It sounds unbelievable, but it is also a true story.
Again, I don't know how the children of these patients feel, but I know how I would feel. I would feel that I had failed my parents by putting them in a place where they are being violated by the people I am paying to take care of them. I would feel that no matter where I placed them, I would be opening them up to this kind of risk. I would feel helpless.
This is what Brieana Rose is trying to change. She has temporarily taken leave without pay from her teaching role due to the trauma and pays for her own counselling. Brieana has not asked the hospital for compensation.
She says that no amount of money can restore her dignity. She just wants to make sure it does not happen to you. Or your parents.
She has bravely gone public about what happened to her, even though to do so she must have needed to overcome the desire to hide from the world.
She has had some support from the media and from the likes of former High Court Justice Michael Kirby, has met with NSW Attorney-General Gabrielle Upton and participated in a parliamentary inquiry, which made recommendations regarding changing these laws.
A law change would bring NSW in line with other states and with Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which says that no one shall be subjected to unlawful attacks on their honour and reputation, and that everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such attacks.
But the parliament will be more inclined to heed the inquiry's recommendations and the ICCPR if it knows that the community is in favour of a change in law.
As Catholics, we understand this is not only about privacy. We know that even though Brieana Rose might feel like her dignity has been taken from her, nothing can take it away because human beings, made in the image and likeness of God, have inalienable and intrinsic dignity.
It's also a life issue, because people are less likely to seek health care – even for the most serious of matters – if they are afraid that someone can take photos of them while they are unconscious.
And it's not unreasonable to imagine that someone who had been the victim of such a violation could be tempted to self-harm.
A change in law could save lives.
As Catholics, we are obligated to do what we can when to uphold life and the dignity of the human person. So often, we feel helpless in the face of the many attacks on human dignity we see today, but this is one we can easily address.
Brieana Rose has started an online petition which you can sign and you might also like to send a copy of this article to your State MP and let him or her know that this is an issue you would like resolved.

Page 3 - St Paul Audubon Annual Report
Staying mission-focused
Conservation, education, and advocacy activities have been central to the mission of the Saint Paul Audubon Society since its beginning, and these focus areas were reinforced by the membership in the Society's 2019 strategic planning process. Today, even though some activities are on hold, we continue to find opportunities to be involved where we can, and are taking advantage of
the pause to plan and prepare for full engagement when we can.
International migratory bird project
Migration is a uniquely important element in the lives of birds. A major new initiative is the Society's sponsorship of a bird banding station at Runaway Creek Reserve in Belize. This project is sponsored by the Institute of Bird Populations and the University of Belize. Studying "our" migratory birds while they are in Central America will give us a more complete picture of their needs throughout their life cycles. Visit runawaycreekbelize.org for more information.
Landscape Revival
Now in its 10th year, this native plant expo and market, planned and hosted by the Landscape Revival organization, got its start through funding and volunteers from our Society, thanks to the efforts of Colleen Swedberg. It has expanded to two events a year, each featuring 6-8 growers of native plants and exhibitors that teach people how to grow the plants and create bird-and- bee-friendly environments. These popular events have attracted nearly 2000 people a year and involve many volunteers and months of planning. On hiatus this year, it will return as soon as possible.
Kestrel Nest Box Project
The spring of 2020 marked the 9th year of the American Kestrel nest box project, initiated by the St. Paul Audubon Conservation Committee in response to the alarming decline of kestrels in Minnesota. This year there were more successful nestings (4) and more fledged young (16) than in any year thus far. Saint Paul Audubon provides financial and volunteer support for this valuable program, which is managed by Julian Sellers.
Urban Bird Collective
This group was founded by Conservation Committee co-chair Monica Bryand in 2018 to support birders of different skill levels, communities and backgrounds lead walks in their own Twin Cities neighborhoods and beyond. The communities include Indigenous People, People of Color, immigrants, LGBT communities and more. They are working to create safe and welcoming spaces for everyone to get out and explore birding and the outdoors. We hope to work more closely and collaboratively with this group in the future.
From December 14 through January 5 each year, tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas, including many birders organized by the Saint Paul Audubon Society since 1978, take part in this community science program that began in 1900. Scientists and others use the data collected by observers to study the long- term health and status of bird populations across North America. The highest number of species reported by the Society was 64 in 2018, with 75 participants that year.


Dimitrios Kokkinakis, associate professor at Språkbanken (The Swedish Language Bank), receives SEK 10 million from Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ) for the project Linguistic and extra-linguistic parameters for early detection of cognitive impairment.
With an increasing aging pyramid the number of people with cognitive dysfunctions, such as various types of dementia, has grown at a high rate. However, years before the clinical onset symptoms of dementia, patients exhibit serious deficits in their oral and written communication and visual short-term memory, signs that can be measured and serve as a complement to medical evidence to discriminate the performance of healthy (elderly) controls or even predict poor cognitive health in late life. The aim of the project is to apply and explore automatic linguistic analysis to language samples produced by persons at various stages of cognitive decline in order to identify important linguistic markers that can be used as a complementary, early diagnostic, prognostic or screening tool. Language, or rather linguistic performance in this context, are various forms of spoken or written language production and comprehension, e.g. transcripts of audio-recorded utterances; accessible language-based interaction through the web or measures from an eye tracking device. A correct and timely diagnosis of neurodegenerative brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, and differentiation of various types of dementia is of great importance to clinicians. The project intends to perform research in the areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that will allow us to broaden opportunities for multidisciplinary research activities between researchers from humanities, computer sciences and medicine.


Humans are not perfect. We all make mistakes. This is why it is vital for candidates to acknowledge that errors will occur during an interview; trying to achieve a totally error free interview is both futile and counterproductive. If you are hyper-focused on a flawless delivery, you'll be over stressed, unnecessarily nervy, and needlessly high-strung. The errorless interview is an impossible aim.
Rather than focus on perfection to a fault – potentially undermining your performance — focus on avoiding a smaller, more manageable shortlist of the most criminal interview mistakes. To start you off, here are three errors you should try never to make.
Research shows that the most reliable way to assess a candidate is by using behavioral interviewing techniques. Behavioral interview questions focus on past performance, e.g., "Give me an example of a time in your job when you faced this situation." This question has a specific purpose: get you to provide concrete examples of how you have successfully managed the situation in question. Behavioral questions don't want hypothetical answers; they want specific evidence of real performance.
Despite this, candidates still fail to respond to these questions correctly. That is, they don't provide specific examples. According to a CareerBuilder study, failure to provide specific examples in answer to behavioral questions is one of the most common and detrimental mistakes candidates make. Make sure you prep for behavioral questions before the interview, so that you can give example-heavy, rather than hypothetical, answers.
It's right to be focused on money — in the right way at the right time. However, appearing fixated on money is a massive mistake often made by hungry candidates, and being so fixated can dent your chances of landing the job. Most good employers know that pay alone is not enough to get you excited about and engaged with your job — which is what employers want.
Research shows that what actually motivates workers, day in and day out, is a job that they find meaningful, empowering, career-nurturing, and fulfilling. This is why it's a big mistake to be too fixated on money during the interview. Employers could see this as a sign that you are interested in the paycheck, not the job. People like that rarely make the best employees.
By all means, fight for the salary you deserve. At the same time, you need to demonstrate clearly that you find the job and the organizational culture to be meaningful and exciting. Make sure you prove to prospective employers that you are a perfect fit for the job. Ask pertinent questions and demonstrate your interest and curiosity.
Show the employer that the job/company itself is the main pull for you, and not the money. Failure to do this will seriously handicap your chances. Take heed of the fact that a CareerBuilder study found that the most detrimental interview mistake was appearing disinterested in the job.
This is not a ticket to be uncooperative and argumentative. If the employer has smashed the ball out of the park when it comes to their first amazing salary offer, it's probably a mistake to contest it.
On the other hand, not negotiating a low-ball offer could mean you are leaving good money on the table, as 84 percent of employers expect candidates to negotiate salary. Furthermore, 70 percent of employers make lowball offers on purpose, fully expecting to be negotiated upwards. By accepting the first salary offered, you could be leaving up to around $5,000 a year on the table, suggests a study from George Mason and Temple Universities.
A word of caution: if you are to negotiate, make sure you conduct a reasonable and fair negotiation; know when to accept what is being offered as final. Pushing beyond the point of reason could harm your employment prospects.


Have you already published that blog post and just noticed that you forgot some important aspects? We all make mistakes when writing our articles. It happens a lot that you forget something and get angry at yourself for clicking "Publish" too early. Highly successful bloggers always use a checklist that contains the most important aspects for that exact reason. You can then simply go through the list, and will never forget anything again. Today, we will show you how you can easily create a checklist like this.
As a blogger, you have developed a particular process that you go through when constructing and publishing your articles. When you work in a team, like I do here at Noupe, you are lucky, as there is a chief editor that will look over your articles before they see the light of day.
However, when you are working on your own, mistakes are made much more quickly. For example, articles without a featured or any post image at all go live, or you forget to check the spelling to prevent at least the most obvious mistakes. Another very popular mistake is publishing an article without optimising it for search engines aka Google. The bigger your project is, the more mistakes can be made.
But it doesn't have to be like that. Think of how you usually make sure you achieve all the tasks you have to achieve. Don't you do that using a checklist? Also in WordPress we can have a list that helps you work more efficiently. Let's look at this list together.
There you need to tick the item "Prevent Publishing". This setting prevents you from publishing (or scheduling) the article when there are still important things missing. Second, you click the button "Add Checklist Item". This allows you to enter the items on your checklist. Of course, you can also delete aspects from your list when you don't need them anymore. To do that, just click the "Remove" button on the right.
After adding the most important aspects to your list, you can finally use it. All you need to do now is write a new article.
The widget boxes on the right side of your screen, next to the blog post editor, can be ordered via drag and drop, so move the box with your new list wherever you want it to be. A good idea would be having it right atop the others.
Using this checklist, you won't be able to forget anything ever again. By the way, the list can always be altered or extended when your requirements change.
Simply write your articles just like you always do. Then, look at your checklist to see if you forgot something. When you try to publish the post without ticking all points on the list, you will quickly realise that it doesn't work.
Every single aspect needs to be ticked before you can publish an article. This also works with scheduled pieces but not with drafts, obviously.


Luxor 2 is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by emijakloe from Best one of the Luxor games. I play this game every day, trying to raise my score. Completely addicted to it. As a grandmother aged 76 it helps to keep the old grey matter from fossillising!
Rated 5 out of 5 by buffy145 from The Best Marble Popper Game If you like marble popper games, you'll definitely love this one. My mother always loved Luxor, and I decided to give it a shot. Unsurprisingly to anyone who knows it, it was perfect. You can choose from three levels of difficulty, so you'll certainly find your ideal level of challenge there. The number of levels is great, although I can never get enough of Luxor. I am trying to decide which LUXOR I'll buy, but they are all great. A real five stars game.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oedesh from Luxor 2 the greatness!!!! I liked the game very much!!! But ofcourse not better than luxor 4!!!
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sonya_Dos from Great game The graphics are beautiful but way over the top. I really liked the first Luxor where the layout was bold and simple. Now they have too much jumbled on the screen and it makes my eyes hurt. Wish they would have kept it similar to the first. Overall I really enjoy these marble type games and the storyline with Luxor is very good. I like the Egyptian theme.
Rated 3 out of 5 by LobsterMann from Luxor 2, more of the same If you like just sitting and waiting for your balls to come for you, this is a great game. If you want action, and like Zuma well then pass it by. It's as simple as that.


A 'supergirl' can take many forms and roles. It's not all about being president or bust, writes Áilin Quinlan.
HILLARY Clinton was understandably devastated — yet in her concession speech she acknowledged the many girls and young women who had followed her every move throughout a highly turbulent presidential election.
Never doubt, she told them, that they are "valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity".
It was another public boost to the West's burgeoning international girl-power movement — though there are those who question whether we're putting too much pressure on girls to achieve.
Last month Wonder Woman was appointed as the honorary ambassador for the UN as a symbol "to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls".
The organisation argued that she has always been a trailblazer for women's rights and, as an accessible comic-book figure, could be used to inspire, teach, and reveal injustice.
However, there was a storm of protest from staff members.
A petition, with more than 1,180 signatures, was submitted to the UN secretary general asking him to reconsider the decision.
Essentially what the UN staff members wanted was a real person as an ambassador, one who was "culturally empowering".
There seems to have been a surge of superhero girls of late.
Last year, Sky One broadcast the US series Supergirl — a feisty super-heroine who is related to Superman.
And earlier this year, Mattel launched DC SuperHero Girls, a range of dolls who want to get out there and get things done. But is it possible to have one superhero role model too many?
Girls today may be getting a somewhat unbalanced message about achievement and what it is, says businesswoman Maebh Leahy, but this overemphasis on superwomen, she believes, is probably a knee-jerk reaction to the way girls have been so undervalued in the past.
"The message we're sending to girls is that you have to go all the way to be tops — that you have to be a certain personality and you have to forsake everything to get there, like family life or motherhood," says Leahy, who is chief executive of the Rutland Centre, Ireland's largest addiction rehabilitation centre.
There is a feeling that too much of an emphasis is being placed on 'super-strong' women. Leahy points to a lack of acknowledgement that a girl can be in the middle or along a continuum, enjoying a decent job and being successful in reaching her own goals.
Super-strong women are fantastic role models to have, Leahy believes, "but they're one in a million".
She says there should be a greater focus on women who've worked hard and come up through the ranks.
The biggest issue is that we support our children, says Rosemary Delaney, founder of the business magazine Women Mean Business (womenmeanbusiness.com).
"I think the important words from Clinton's concession speech was when she mentioned to all the little girls watching, to never doubt that you can achieve your own dreams," says Delaney.
"My daughter is almost 12 and I am very conscious of the vital role I play in her life. As she transitions into senior school in the coming year, I am reminded that a rounded education — one that nurtures, is inclusive, is empowering — these are the important tools, which will allow her to develop and become whatever she wants to be.
"Society and parents do put pressure on girls to be high achievers. That same pressure is also put on the boys.
Gina London, an Emmy-winning former CNN political correspondent and mum to a nine-year-old girl, agrees.
"Happiness must be at the forefront of any person's role and how they choose to define that happiness should be encouraged and celebrated by all of us," she says.
However, empowering girls to define their own happiness and teaching them the tools to help them attain it is crucial.
"I see in my professional work that the traits of confidence are largely taught, learned, and developed over time, and the confidence to pursue your dreams is very much a building block of happiness to many people," she says.
"It is important to empower our girls and boys to dream, to set goals, and to take steps to achieve those goals," says London, who is also a strategic communications director with PR firm Fuzion.
Few will argue that girls need a wide range of role models, particularly those who encourage, motivate, and positively impact the lives of others.
Malala Yousafzai, the teenage Pakistani activist and the youngest person to win a Nobel Prize, sets the bar high but by speaking out about the right for girls to be educated, she has helped to galvanise world opinion on the topic.
Delaney believes "there will always be leaders and followers".
"It takes a special person to be a leader. It also takes a unique person to create real change. They need to have a strength of character and mind regardless of their gender," she says.
One thing above all that we should never forget is that the more empowered we are to do the things we want to do and reach our full potential, the happier we are, says Mary Cary, executive director of the Blackstone Launch Pad, an entrepreneur development programme at NUI Galway.
She is also the founder of the acclaimed Outbox Incubator, the world's first ever incubator for entrepreneurial girls, which saw the formation of 27 new companies in just 18 months.
"I don't believe in this notion that we're putting too much pressure on girls. Research shows girls are parented differently to boys and that society has different expectations of them.
For Rosemary Delaney, it's about choice: "I want my daughter to have more choices — choices that the current and previous generations only dreamed about," she says, adding that she believes in the adage 'seeing is believing'.
Rosemary Delaney (left) with Evelyn O'Toole, CLS, WMB Business Woman of the year, at the Women Mean Business Conference and Awards 2016.
"I set up WMB a decade ago because of a lack of female role models in the business world. However, they did exist albeit in smaller numbers. In the intervening years, more women have joined the workforce — they want to pursue their careers and dreams, to have financial independence.
"They also recognise that they are role models for their own sons and daughters. So we are seeing more and more women 'doing their own thing,'" she says.
Remember, points out Maebh Leahy, that what are often seen as feminine traits — empathy, compassion, a nurturing outlook — can be powerful tools when used in leadership to bring a team together.
The problem is, she says, that these skills are not as openly valued or as measurable as other attributes, yet they have a very important role to play in leadership.
So why are so few female role models prepared to talk about the life-changing and career-defining decision to become a mum?
Again, says Leahy, that's very much down to the way women were perceived in the past. "There's still a fear that you won't be taken seriously if you're talking about having a family," she says.
"It's still a case of should it be marriage/kids/family or should you go career all the way?
"The question many women ask is does it affect your chances of getting a big job if you are going to go off and have kids?
And certainly the results of the study by recruitment firm Morgan McKinley, published earlier this month, that on average women earn 20% or €12,500 less than their male counterparts, would give most female employees considering motherhood cause for thought — especially as the study found that the gender pay gap widens with the number of years' experience.
Women with 0-5 years' experience earn 12% less, while women with 15 years-plus of experience earn as much as 28% less than their male counterparts.
Rosemary Delaney argues if a woman is a successful businessperson, then it's highly likely that she'd feel it more pertinent to talk about goals, visions, successes, disappointments and bottom lines.
"She is probably unlikely to talk about her personal life. Many successful people are guarded and rate their privacy highly.
And what about boys? Will they be left out in the cold because of all of this emphasis on the empowerment of girls?
"Little boys have a head-start anyway," says Maebh Leahy bluntly.
It's important to recognise that a world without the female voice is not a representative one," warns Delaney.
"Work has to be done to balance an inequality that has been allowed fester for too long — in business, in politics, in a social context.
In the end, what's important for girls — their happiness, their prospects for self-fulfillment, and success in the world — is providing them with an abundance of good, empowering role models, of choices, and the tools to make the best decisions for themselves.

Gaming.SL Live Integration
The classic game of 5-Card Draw Poker where players are dealt a complete hand of five cards, and get 1 or 2 opportunities to build on that hand in between betting phases. For 2 to 8 players.
This game does not use Linden Dollars in any capacity. Players do not buy into the table. All betting on this game is done with fake poker chips that have no value and can not be redeemed outside of the game. The poker chips are used expressly to determine the winner of the game and no monetary reward is derived from the game regardless of number of poker chips the winner holds at the end of the game. This is done to comply with Second Life's Skill Gaming policy.
Most K.R. Engineering games have a variety of options or "house rules" that can be turned on and off by the game owner to change how the game plays. These options can include changing the winning criteria for a game, adding new rules or disabling other rules, or just placing time limits on how long you can be away before the game skips you. It is often helpful to know what house rules you are playing with when you sit down at a game. You can touch the game logo on any K.R. Engineering game to see a list of which options are enabled and which are not.
For owners/administrators wishing to change these options, please see the Administration section of this article.
If you are new to owning a K.R. Engineering game or have upgraded from an older game version, then you may have questions about your new table. Please see this FAQ for answers to some of our most common beginner questions.
Most owners of K.R. Engineering games are entitled to free upgrades to newer versions of the game. If a new update is available, then following the updating instructions for your game will result in a new copy of the most recent version being sent to you by the update server. This process is not automatic. You must request an update manually.
If you are having problems with your game, please search this knowledge base or contact us for product support. If the problem you are having has not previously been encountered, a new game version will be released with a fix as soon as possible, and you may qualify for a bug bounty.
DISCLAIMER: The appearance and feature set of games are subject to revision between versions as the capabilities of Second Life change over time. Please see the detailed ChangeLog for your particular game before upgrading. By upgrading. you are agreeing to accept any and all changes that have been imposed on the updated version of the game.
Most K.R. Engineering games can be played simply by right-clicking on a chair and choosing "Play."
K.R. Engineering games can be played on a variety of themed furniture objects, and the "chairs" may not always look like chairs. For example, on the Chess theme, the "chairs" are the giant chess pieces. If you are unsure what is a chair and what isn't on a particular theme, that's okay! You can right-click and select "Play" on any part of a theme and it will automatically place you in an available chair, even if you didn't click on a chair specifically.
Important: K.R. Engineering games use a rezzing system. This means that the game (buttons, dice, cards, game boards, etc) is a separate object from the furniture/rezzer/theme. You must right-click on the theme to play, not the game itself, as you cannot sit on the game pieces (such as dice, game boards, cards, etc). You must sit on the furniture around the game to play, not the game pieces.
While most game themes include furniture that you can sit on, there may be some exceptions. The Pocket theme, for example, cannot be sat on, as it has no chairs. Instead, you can join a game on a Pocket theme by clicking the MENU button on the game.
Important: To play Poker, you must be wearing the Poker HUD. To get a HUD, press the 'HUD' button on the table. You will be given an object called Poker Game HUD. Find this under your Objects folder and wear it.
After all players who wish to play have been seated, anyone may press the START button to begin the game. The game will deal 5 cards to each player and give each player a fixed number of starting chips with which to bet during the game. One player will be designated the "Dealer" of the current round, but this is a title only and the game will still handle all dealing operations automatically on their behalf. On subsequent rounds, players will take turn being the Dealer, as this impacts game play (discussed more below).
Players will automatically have 1 chip taken from them at the start of each round as a mandatory Ante to the game pot. If at any point during the game a player is unable to Ante (that is, they have 0 chips), then they are removed from play for the remainder of the game.
Betting Phase
The first phase of the game involves players betting based on the cards they are initially dealt. There will be subsequent betting phases after each discard phase (discussed in the next section). Each betting phase works exactly the same.
Starting with the player to the right (or left, if clockwise play is enabled) of the dealer, players must place their bets by pressing the BET button on the table. Pressing the BET button will present a dialog menu for the player to interact with, showing the current high bet, their own funds and their betting options.
If you are the first player to bet during any betting phase, your menu options will consist of:
ALL IN – Bet every chip you have on the outcome of the round. You will either win the pot or lose everything and thus be removed from the game.
FOLD – Decline to play any further for this round. At the end of the round, you will be dealt back in to continue playing in the next round.
An amount of your choosing by pressing the + or – value buttons followed by PLACE BET.
Example: Pressing +5 followed by PLACE BET will bet 5 chips.
If you are not the first player to bet during any betting phase, you will have slightly different menu options:
CALL – Calling a bet simply means you will match it in order to stay in the round, but you have no desire to bet any more.
RAISE – This will offer you a new dialog window where you may bet an amount of your choosing. The amount you bet must be no less than CALLing, and no more than the amount of chips you have.
The betting phase will continue so long as any player chooses to continue RAISEing the bet. Once all players have FOLDed or CALLed, the betting phase will end and the game will proceed to either a discard phase or the showdown phase.
If the game options are set for 1 discard phase, the game will move to the showdown phase after the 2nd betting phase.
If the game options are set for 2 discard phases, the game will move to the showdown phase after the 3rd betting phase.
Discard Phase
Starting with the player to the right (or left, if clockwise play is enabled) of the dealer, players must choose whether they wish to replace any of the cards in their current hand. You do not have to discard any cards if you do not want. To continue without discarding, simply click the green checkmark on your HUD without selecting any cards.
If the game options are set for 1 discard phase, then players may discard up to all 5 of their cards.
If the game options are set for 2 discard phases, players may only discard up to 4 of their cards.
After selecting the cards you wish to discard by touching them on your HUD, and then pressing the green checkmark on your HUD to complete the discard, the game will automatically deal you replacement cards of the same amount that you discarded, so that you always have 5 cards.
After all players have discarded, the game will proceed automatically to another betting phase.
Showdown Phase
Once all betting and discard phases have completed, the game will move to the Showdown. At showdown, all remaining players place their hands down on the table. The player with the best hand wins the round and takes the pot.
The game will pause after a showdown phase and allow all players to review the cards played. Additionally, anyone who has left the table can be given an opportunity to return before the next round begins. When players are ready to continue, any player may press the DEAL button on the table to begin the next round.
There are 9 basic poker hands, ranked in descending order from best to worst:
Straight Flush – A straight flush consists of all cards in sequential order AND all cards being the same suit. Straight flushes can normally only be beaten by other, better straight flushes.
Example: 4 of Clubs, 5 of Clubs, 6 of Clubs, 7 of Clubs, and 8 of Clubs would be Straight Flush. It would be beat by a Straight Flush (of any suit) where the highest card was greater than 8. (4-5-6-7-8 all of the Clubs suit)
A Straight Flush where the highest card is an Ace is called a Royal Flush, and is normally the highest hand in the game. (10-J-Q-K-A all of the same suit)
Four of a Kind – Any four cards of the same rank, regardless of suit.
Example: Jack of Clubs, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Spades, and Jack of Hearts. (J-J-J-J)
Full House – A full house is any hand for which you simultaneously hold a Three of a Kind and a Pair.
Example: Two 4s and three 7s. Or Three Jacks and Two Aces. (4-4-4-7-7 or J-J-J-A-A)
Flush – A flush is any set of 5 cards that all have the same suit, regardless of their rank. They do not have to be in sequential order.
Example: 3 of Clubs, 7 of Clubs, 9 of Clubs, 10 of Clubs, Ace of Clubs. (3-7-9-10-A all of the Clubs suit)
Straight: A straight is any set of 5 cards that have sequential rank, regardless of suit.
Example: 7 of Clubs, 8 of Hearts, 9 of Diamonds, 10 of Clubs, Jack of Spades. (7-8-9-10-J)
Three of a Kind – Any three cards of the same rank, regardless of suit.
Example: Queen of Clubs, Queen of Hearts, and Queen of Spades. (Q-Q-Q)
Two Pair – Any two distinct pairs of cards.
Example: Holding the Jack of Clubs and the Jack of Hearts, while also holding the 6 of Clubs and the 6 of Diamonds. (6-6 and J-J in the same hand).
Pair – A pair is any two cards of the same rank, regardless of suit.
Example: 5 of Clubs, and 5 of Diamonds. (5-5)
High Card – If you have no other hand, you will always have a High Card. This is the worst possible hand, but it is a hand. High Card is simply the value of the highest card in your hand.
Example: If you are holding 4-6-7-J-Q in your hand, then Queen is your high card, regardless of suit.
All hands can be beaten by better variants of the same hand. For example, A pair of Jacks (J-J) will beat a pair of Eights (8-8). A high King will beat a high Jack. A full house consisting of Kings and 7s (K-K-K-7-7) will beat a full house consisting of Jacks and 10s (J-J-J-10-10). Etc.
Players may only win up to an amount equal to their own contribution from each of the other players. That is, if your total contribution to the pot on a given round is 30 chips, you may only win 30 chips from each of the other players. That means if there are 3 players, your total maximum win is 90 chips.
If a player wins whose contribution to the pot is lower than everyone else's (likely because they went all-in), then any leftover chips are put into a side pot. The winner of the side pot is determined by the next highest hand to the winner. If in the event the winner of the side pot is also unable to claim the entire side pot, another side pot is set aside for the third highest hand, and so forth until the entire pot has been claimed.
Because this Poker game allows up to 8 players, there may be times when 2 decks of cards are in use. When this happens, it is possible to get Five of a Kind as a hand. Five of a Kind is considered the highest possible hand in this case, trumping even a Royal Flush.
Bluffing is one of the most important strategic options in Poker. If a player successfully bluffs and convinces all of their opponents to fold before the Showdown phase, then they will win by default and do not have to reveal their hand.
If you leave a Poker game in progress, you will fold automatically for the round, and not be dealt in to any subsequent rounds until you return. If the game ends before you get back, you simply forfeited. If you return to the table before the game ends, you will not be able to play in the current round, but will be dealt in automatically during the next round.

Poker supports Card Design add-ons! Click here for more information.
K.R. Engineering card games that use a standard playing card deck (and some that use non-standard decks) will allow you to change the cards to be anything that you want if you're willing to make your own textures for them. You can find more information and instructions by visiting our Custom Cards article.
Gaming.SL Live (also known as Gaming.SL or G.SL) is gaming platform and services system developed by K.R. Engineering, which brings a variety of enhanced features to games in Second Life that are not possible with Second Life alone. In addition to the features described in this article, G.SL can integrate with your table in the following ways.
Gaming.SL connected games have a grid-wide top score database that allows players to compete and have a pervasive record of their high scores. These high scores can be viewed by using a Top Scores display board in Second Life or by accessing the Top Scores page on the Gaming.SL website. Scores can be filtered down by region, specific game tables, dates, and other criteria.
In addition to recording high scores, games keep a running tally of the total number of times players have won on a game. This information can be viewed on a Top Winners display board in Second Life or by accessing the Top Winners page on the Gaming.SL website. Winners can likewise be filtered by region and other criteria to see a more specific list of winners.
On supported games, players will also be assigned a rank that compares their performance to other players who have played the same game. Players can improve this rank by playing well against other players. Rank information can be viewed on a Top Ranked display board in Second Life or by accessing the Top Ranked page on the Gaming.SL website.
Gaming.SL includes support for Achievements in participating games, where-in you can unlock trophies by performing miraculous or mundane feats of gameplay. Achievements are awarded automatically and announced in Second Life when they are unlocked. Players can check their own achievements by visiting the Achievements page on the Gaming.SL website.
Gaming.SL supports the option to have ongoing recurring Jackpots where players can win cash prizes just for playing, no purchase necessary! Visit the Jackpots page on the Gaming.SL website to see the current jackpot standings, and who you need to defeat to win a prize. Prizes are based on ranking on a leaderboard that is erased during each jackpot period. Players must play during each period to be eligible to win during that period.
Gaming.SL connected games utilize a licensing system that allows scores, ranks, winners, and other attributes to persist between rezzes of the same game, regardless of location in Second Life. This licensing system also allows games to have COPY permissions while still offering instancing control.
Games that use Gaming.SL Live can also optionally be specified as a PUBLIC game by the game's owner. This will display the game on the Gaming.SL Live Games page, including game status, options, and location, and a button to let a user teleport straight to the game to play. All games default to PRIVATE unless explicitly changed by the owner of the game.
See the Gaming.SL Live page for more details on the Gaming.SL Live system, as well as our comprehensive Privacy Policy detailing the information we collect and how we use it.
To access the game's administrative menu, simply click and hold your mouse button down on any part of it for two seconds. A menu will pop up on your screen displaying current settings and providing options to change them. (In slow simulators, this may take slighter longer than two seconds, just hold the mouse button down until you see a menu.)
On certain rezzer versions, depending on where you click, you may open the REZZER'S administrative menu instead of the GAME'S administrative menu. This is okay! If you are in the rezzer admin menu, you can switch directly over to the game admin menu by pressing the "Game ↗" button. Likewise if you open the game menu by mistake, and wish to switch over to the rezzer menu, you can simply press the "↙ Rezzer" button.
Some elements of the administration menu are accessible only by the owner, while others can be accessed by anyone who is considered an administrative user, either explicitly added or implicitly through the Group Admin feature.
There are too many options to fit in a standard dialog window, so the window has been divided into pages. You can use the <<< and >>> buttons at the bottom of the admin menu to change which page of options you are currently viewing. If you don't see the option you want, it's on another page!
Rezzer Options
Many options that were formerly in the game admin menu have been moved to the table/theme/rezzer admin menu. These are options that are game-independent, such as admin users, branding, sound volume, and updating. These options are now set on the table/theme/rezzer and apply automatically to whatever game is being played on that table or theme. For details on accessing the rezzer admin menu and what options are in it, please see the Game Rezzer Administration article.
Owner-Only Options
Indicators: A menu for changing the color of the turn indicator lights on the game board.
Color: An alternate way to access the color/theme menu for the table. This is the same as pressing the Color button on the table top.
Cards: Access the card customization menu. See the 'CUSTOM CARDS' section below for more information.
Administrative User Options
↙ Rezzer: This button will directly open the rezzer's administrative menu instead of the game's menu.
Players: Access the player management menu to skip or evict players from the game.
Abandoned: Select this button to change the number of seconds the table waits to reset an abandoned game after all players have left.
Timeout: Select this button to change the number of seconds the table waits for idle players to begin their turn. If they don't roll before the timeout occurs, the game will skip them for this round.
Quiet: Enable quiet mode, reducing the amount of chatter that the game will send to local chat.
Chatty: Disable quiet mode.
Start 50: Start with 50 betting chips per player.
Start 100: Start with 100 betting chips per player.
Discard 1: Players discard once per round, with 2 betting periods.
Discard 2: Players discard twice per round, with 3 betting periods.
Play Left: Game play passes to your left (clockwise) around the table.
Play Right: Game play passes to your right (counter-clockwise) around the table.
Text On: Enable hover text for player scores.
Text Off: Disable hover text for player scores.

Discussion in 'Casino Complaints - Non-Bonus Issues' started by Mizzo, Jul 29, 2017.
I deposited money on this online gaming site....... I won $3000 Aus dollars as from Australia , so I then withdrew my funds and now every excuse has been given to me under the sun to not pay my money!!! First wanting every single information about me varification fair enough... I have given it . Now 4 days later still waiting to hear back from them been given the same excuse everyday that we have been busy and waiting for the security team to varification them they will get back to me!!!!! Guess what no response and when I speak to them every single person has the same response / excuse.
You didn't ask for any help so I assume you don't want any either. Otherwise, just let us know.
Edit: Well, since you just edited your post then I'll do the same.
It is Saturday though so he might not see it until Monday.
Then I advice you to look around in this forum and see how it works. Welcome to CM and I hope you'll get your issue solved.
I'd have even settled for a "G' Day mate"
Gotta love the title though!
Welcome to the forum, Mizzo. But before going off the rails with a casino complaint, it is always good to read a forum's rules when making a complaint.
Number - be tactful and polite. This is not just proper forum etiquette, it's expected. If you had read the rules when signing up here, you would have known about it. Codeta casino has an active rep here, calling their business a scam because you are having a verification problem is not the best first step to take with them.
Cut the guy some slack. He's upset and rightly so.
Thank you for your information. I am 100 % sure that we are not trying to with hold your winnings. That is not how we work on Codeta. Could you please give me your username so i could investigate what the issue is?
I am sure all will be good. As every matrix casino they are trusted as well. I made couple of withdrawals.
However they did tell me that verification takes up to 48 hours, but mine took almost 5 business days and then after that 24 hours and money in E-wallet.
So relax, I am sure the money will come.

No. 8/6 Softball Splits Doubleheader At No. 24/20 Florida State
Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score | Updated Stats
Georgia Tech Video Central | Follow Georgia Tech Softball On Twitter
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Sophomore Danielle Dike was 4-for-6 with three home runs as the No. 8/6 Georgia Tech Softball team (42-8, 15-2 ACC) split a doubleheader at No. 24/20 Florida State (39-13, 10-7) on Saturday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field. Georgia Tech won Game One 14-1 behind five home runs before a five-run sixth inning led FSU to a 6-2 win in Game Two.
Redshirt senior Jen Yee hit her 25th home run of the season to break Whitney Haller's Tech and ACC single-season record. Haller hit 24 long balls in 2006. The Jackets also broke the 2007 team's record for home runs in a season. The 2007 squad hit 97 home runs and Tech has now hit 99 this year. Yee was on base seven times in her nine plate appearances and drew four more intentional walks.
Dike hit two home runs in the first game for her second career multi-home run game. Sophomore Kate Kuzma had five RBI in Game One, including a grand slam, while Yee and freshman Hope Rush also went deep for Tech in the game.
Georgia Tech and Florida State wrap up the three-game series with a Noon game tomorrow. Live audio and stats will be available at www.RamblinWreck.com. A win would clinch the second straight ACC regular season title for the Yellow Jackets.
Game One started off as a pitcher's duel between Rush and FSU senior Terese Gober. Yee put Tech on the board first with a solo home run in the top of the third inning, but FSU responded right back in the bottom half of the frame to tie the game on a RBI single by Morgan Bullock.
Solo home runs by Dike and Rush in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively, put the Yellow Jackets on top 3-1. With Rush cruising in the circle, The Yellow Jackets exploded for 11 runs in the final two innings to break the game wide open.
Dike led off the sixth with her second home run of the game and then a two-run double by junior Kristine Priebe later in the inning busted the game open at 6-1. RBI singles by freshman Caitlin Jordan and Kuzma accounted for the final two runs in the inning as Tech opened up an 8-1 advantage.
In the seventh, the Jackets loaded the bases with one out against relief pitcher Lauren Varsalona. After Priebe struck out, Rush came through with a two-run single making it a 10-1 game. After Jordan reached on an error to re-load the bases Kuzma made it 14-1 with a grand slam.
Rush improved to 23-5 on the season with the complete game win. She gave up one earned run on four hits to go along with four walks and six strikeouts. Gober (19-7) took the loss as she was charged with six earned runs on nine hits and three walks in five-plus innings. She had nine strikeouts.
Game Two was also a pitcher's duel and scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning. Tech junior pitcher Kristen Adkins worked out of a couple of jams early, including second and third with one out in the first inning, but a wild pitch in the fifth gave FSU the lead 1-0. It could have been worse but she escaped any further damage with a runner on third and one out getting a strikeout and a pop up.
FSU starting pitcher Sarah Hamilton had cruised through the first five frames as she held Tech to just a pair of singles.
The Jackets quickly answered in the top of the sixth inning as Priebe led off with a solo home run. It was her 14th round-tripper of the season and tied the game at one. Later in the inning, Dike's third home run of the day put the Jackets on top for the first time in the game at 2-1. After walking sophomore Jessica Sinclair, Gober relieved Hamilton with two outs and got junior Jessica Weaver to pop up and end the inning.
FSU came right back and took control of the game with a six-run bottom of the sixth inning. An error, infield bunt single and a walk loaded the bases for the Seminoles with no outs and Rush came into the game for Adkins.
Kristie McConn out FSU on top with a two-run double to right field and FSU tacked on two more runs in the frame to open up a 6-2 lead.
A one-out double in the top of the seventh inning by Yee was the 45th of her career tying her atop the all-time Tech charts with Tara Knudsen but she was stranded there. Gober recorded the next two outs as Florida State evened the series at one game apiece.

When I met Jenna, I didn't think she was gonna have that big impact in my life, but I'm so glad it all happened like it was supposed to. I used to be terrified of heights, it wouldn't matter if I was 2 feet of the floor, somehow I kept thinking I'd hurt myself, as silly as that sounds. Even more so, being upside down. I don't know what it was, perhaps seeing the world inverted scared me, and I kept thinking if I fell, I'd hurt myself… I'm short… So how much could I really hurt myself if I fell?
I'm a yoga instructor and for the longest time, I put off getting over my fear of being inverted and doing all the cool and crazy stuff yogis can do.
It was until I saw Jenna' s first YouTube video, that I realized I could get over that fear.
Seeing her crying and swearing, for being in front of a camera, speaking to it, uploading it so thousands upon thousands of people can see it, gave me the courage to get over the "fear" I had.
I remember sitting down on the couch, after hearing that she had made her first video and it had been terrifying for her, watching it… It hit home.
I thought to myself "This girl is crying and swearing in front of thousands and you can't even go upside down in front of a wall?!?" As soon as I was done watching the video, I went straight to the wall thinking "YES I CAN!" and I did.
I changed my mentality and practiced morning and night to get over whatever I needed to get over. I had already started to practice inversions before seeing the video, but that video changed my life.
Jenna is SO inspiring, with the "so" Being in caps, but in all honestly, it doesn't even cut it.
She writes from her heart, she says the truth, it doesn't matter how harsh it is, she just does it.
Her heart is incredibly huge and she just wants the best for all of us.
The little push I needed, to be able to do inversions as well as I can do, I owe it to her. I owe it to her video; watching the video crying with her, because I completely understood what fear meant, but I also understood that as soon as I got over it, life as I know it was going to start. Her tears became mine, her pain became my pain, her struggle… Way too known for me, and her release… Opened the door for mine.
I sat on the couch after watching the video, contemplating my own feelings, thinking "If she can, so can I", hearing her words in my head, over and over and over again. Those encouraging words, believing not only in me, but in the rest of us.
After that day, my life changed.
Everything I thought I was scared off, became my bestie. I have a saying when I'm learning a new asana (yoga pose), "We will be besties" and of course, we always become besties. With hard work and faith in oneself, ANYTHING is possible.
That moment I started changing, becoming the best version of myself. I am in constant change, all for those little minutes that she was on my screen.
She is such a powerful individual, here on this Earth to change the world and she's absolutely doing it!
I am so blessed to have crossed paths with such a wonderful soul and I am so grateful for being at the exact place, at the right time to be able to reach this moment right meow (now).
Thank you so much Jenna, you rock!!!
"Synchronicity brought Jenna into my life, and from the moment we first connected, I knew this beautiful soul was going to be an integral part our collective conscious evolution.
Jenna is a pillar of strength, a beacon of light, and a bright shining star, who's genuine energy is undeniable.
I am proud to endorse Jenna as a true alchemist, able to transform darkness into light – by allowing you to live with a pure heart, as your ultimate self. This incredible transformational teacher is able to activate an awareness within you through her words and timeless wisdom.
Jenna has got to be one of the most amazing, inspiring, and interstellar humans to grace our planet.
On her journey through life I have watched Jenna grow, learn, accept, and inspire no matter what she is going through.
Jenna has taught me many things; the most important lesson of all time being LOVE and ACCEPTANCE: which in essence is everything.
We are all co-existing in this "you"niverse. We all go through life differently and we need the pain, suffering, joy, loss, and happiness in order to learn. Every experience is a lesson and everything happens for a reason.
No matter the experience, Jenna has helped teach me that everything is a lesson. Everything happens for a reason and no matter what we go through on a daily basis, you can power through.
As my connection with Jenna continues, she is a constant reminder of how to live life to its fullest capacity.
About two years ago I began waking up to a certain, and what I soon discovered, only, truth within me. This experience has been the craziest rollercoaster one could probably imagine, not that I could possibly fathom the imagination of the individual reading this anyways.
I have one goal of writing this and it is to give thanks to my friend, Jenna.
I have not known Jenna for long, but it feels as though she may understand me better than anyone I've known in my entire life. Her approach to life, and her warm, OPEN heart has inspired me over and over again. There are many individuals who have swept through my life, especially in the past two years, who were placed here intentionally, in order to gear me towards the bright path that my soul has always sang for…long before I became "Araya". I know this intuitively, but there is no outward proof of this other than the obvious, evident fact that I'm ecstatic about my journey.
Jenna always knows exactly what to say when a soul reaches out to her, that is why it is simply inevitable that the pure and principled will gravitate towards her light.
Jenna encouraged my open heart (this isn't cheesy, it's simply true) through the example she sets as a healer. I see the light she spreads and I honor it. I mean, I truly honor it.
She has been relentless enough in her few short years, walking through the dream of this planet, to plant her goddess roots in the intelligent stardust that makes up who she is. This is a woman who knows how to take control, a warrior. The truth is, I am honored to be in the presence of anyone who understands the truth of my words. If the person reading this truly understands what it means to come home to their inner power, I am delighted to meet you in spirit. I honor you. I know many people are waking up to their divine, personal truth right now and I wish them the best of my love.
Thank you, Jenna, for being strong enough to radiate your deepest truth. You have helped me find the courage hidden in the deepest levels of my dew covered, echo filled, radiant, timeless soul. The light within me, fully and delightfully, acknowledges the light within you. May you inspire others as you've inspired me and may our light heal the world.
