Die Kotelnica ist ein Bergrücken an der polnisch-slowakischen Grenze in der Hohen Tatra mit 1987 m in ihrer höchsten Erhebung, der Wielka Kotelnica, im Massiv der Liptowskie Mury.

Lage und Umgebung
Die Staatsgrenze verläuft über den Hauptgrat der Tatra, auf dem sich die Kotelnica befindet. Unterhalb des Bergrückens liegen zwei Täler, das Tal Dolina Pięciu Stawów Polskich im Norden und das Tal Dolina Ciemnosmreczyńska im Süden.

Vom Gipfel der Niżni Kostur im Westen wird die Kotelnica durch den Bergpass Czarna Ławka getrennt, von dem westlich gelegenen Gipfel Gładki Wierch durch den Bergpass Gładka Ławka.

Der Verlauf des Gipfels sieht von Osten nach Westen folgendermaßen aus:
 Gipfel Czarna Kotelnica – 1963 m
 Bergpass Niżnia Czarna Ławka – 1950 m
 Gipfel Mała Kotelnica – 1974 m ü. NN
 Bergpass Niżnia Kotelnicowa Ławka – 1955 m
 Gipfel Pośrednia Kotelnica – 1980 m
 Bergpass Pośrednia Kotelnicowa Ławka – 1965 m
 Gipfel Wielka Kotelnica – 1987 m
 Bergpass Wyżnia Kotelnicowa Ławka – 1975 m
 Gipfel Gładka Kotelnica – 1990 m
 Bergpass Gładka Ławka – 1965 m

Etymologie
Der polnische Name Kotelnica lässt sich als "Kesselberg" übersetzen. Der Name rührt vom Kessel des Bergsees Czarny Staw Polski, dessen Südwand die Kotelnica darstellt.

Flora und Fauna
Trotz ihrer Höhe besitzt die Kotelnica eine bunte Flora und Fauna. Es treten zahlreiche Pflanzenarten auf, insbesondere hochalpine Blumen und Gräser. Neben Insekten und Weichtieren sowie Raubvögeln besuchen auch Murmeltiere und Gämsen den Gipfel.

Besteigungen

Erstbesteigungen:
 Sommer: Teodor Eichenwald, Ferdynand Rabowski, Jan Bachleda Tajber, Wojciech Tylka Suleja am 2. August 1903
 Winter: Adam Karpiński und Wilhelm Smoluchowski am 8. April 1925

Tourismus
Auf die Kotelnica führt derzeit kein markierter Wanderweg. Der geplante Kammweg wurde nie fertig gestellt. Ein gelb markierter Wanderweg führt jedoch nördlich unterhalb des Gipfels vom Bergpass Szpiglasowa Przełęcz in das Tal Dolina Pięciu Stawów Polskich. Als Ausgangspunkt für diesen eignen sich die Berghütten Schronisko PTTK nad Morskim Okiem sowie Schronisko PTTK w Dolinie Pięciu Stawów Polskich. Auf den angrenzenden Bergpass Gładka Przełęcz führt von polnischer Seite ein nicht markierter Wanderweg und von slowakischer Seite ein markierter Wanderweg.

What To Expect In A DepositionStaff Attorney2020-12-08T19:32:04-08:00
A deposition is an imperative part of the discovery process where each party involved in a lawsuit can gather information and facts from key witnesses of the case to either: a) get a better picture of the case to reach a settlement agreement, or b) better prepare themselves in court by gathering important evidence and testimonies.
The information derived from a deposition is what we refer to as "discovery" and can be used in court if the case advances to trial. However, it is important to note that majority of cases end up settling before the case escalates to trial. This is generally because the trial process is incredibly expensive and lengthy.
What to Expect at a Deposition
Depositions usually take place at the office of the plaintiff's attorney, the court reporting company, or the office of the deponent's attorney. Both the defense attorney and the prosecuting attorney, any key witnesses, and a court reporter and/or legal videographer and translator (if needed) will be present.
Before a deposition begins
The witnesses (or victims), also referred to as deponents during a deposition will swear an oath to answer questions honestly. The court reporter will record the entire deposition from start to finish, and will later transcribe the deposition for each party to refer to in preparation for trial.
Before the attorneys begin questioning, the deponents are provided a set of rules to follow during the deposition. Deponents must give clear, verbal responses to each question asked.
Your attorney may also brief you beforehand to instruct you of what you should expect during the deposition, including questions that may be asked. However, it is important to note that this their preparation based on speculation. Your attorney will have no control over the questions the opposing counsel will ask.
During the deposition
Next, the attorneys will conduct a direct examination. Direct examination is the process of undergoing questioning by attorneys, to each individual deponent. Once this has been completed, any other attorney present will have an opportunity to cross-examine the deponents. If a question asked is far fetched or incriminating, you may object to any question at any time. The deponent may modify their answers in review; however, any changes made will be documented and can be used in preparation for trial.
During the examination, the attorneys will ask questions about the accident to gain a full understanding of the deponents' point of view regarding the accident. A deponent's responsibility is to answer each question as briefly and truthfully as possible throughout the duration of the deposition.
After the deposition
Once the deposition is complete, the court reporter and/or legal videographer will process a transcription of the session, known as a transcript, and will provide a certified copy for all parties.
Each side is provided in the same document; however, you should remember that the same information can still be interpreted differently. Depositions are crucial in preparing a case for either trial or reaching a settlement.
Does every lawsuit require a deposition?
No. Not every case requires a deposition. There are other ways of obtaining discovery, including interrogatories, requests for production of documents, and requests for admissions. A deposition is, however, the most popular form of discovery.

Ivanka Trump's global women's initiative sees $10M boost in new partnerships
By Teresa Welsh // 19 November 2019

WASHINGTON — U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator Mark Green and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump on Monday launched $10 million in new partnerships and activities for the Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative. They also announced three new grants as a part of the second round of the WomenConnect Challenge.
The new partnerships will work with private sector and government actors in Southeast Asia, Asia, Africa, and Latin America to support women's economic empowerment initiatives, with the new activities leveraging an additional $5 million in private sector funding.
"Development assistance is supposed to result in the goal of it not being needed," Trump said, echoing a favorite line of Green's. "Arguably, women are always an asterisk, the role of women in these programs. So how could we unleash the most underutilized resource in the developing world — arguably the world — and encourage the same type of pro-growth policies that we benefit from here in the United States: access to capital, leveling the playing field so women can participate equally, and of course working with the private sector."

► We-Fi summit seeks to change perceptions of women as financial risk
Since its launch in February 2018, W-GDP has received a total of $100 million in its first year, according to USAID. It seeks to reach 50 million women in the developing world by 2025 by coordinating women's economic empowerment activities across the U.S. government under three pillars: women prospering in the workforce, women succeeding as entrepreneurs, and women enabled in the economy.
One WomenConnect Challenge grant was awarded for each of those three pillars, totaling an additional $2 million. Dimagi Inc. will receive funds for a women's financial literacy chatbot in Rwanda; United Purpose will develop a digital platform for women in Senegal to overcome barriers in the agricultural value chain; and Solidaridad will give women in Bangladesh access to mobile money and dairy industry training.
Among the new partnerships, USAID and Mars, Inc. will focus $4.5 million on transforming the shea supply chain in Ghana. It will give resources to women-led businesses to increase the sustainability of the supply chain and increase product efficiency and quality. With $2 million from W-GDP and $2.5 million from Mars, it will also seek to improve access to financial products.
Several other partnership initiatives will receive under $1 million each, including: Bancamia, Palladium, and USAID will catalyze private sector investment in early-stage and women-led businesses; the U.S. Department of Commerce, USAID, and the Dominican Republic will revise laws to allow women-led businesses greater opportunity; and the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs, Visa Foundation and USAID seek to help closing the financing gap for women-led businesses in East and Southeast Asia.
"Women remain the largest marginalized community in the world," Green said. "If we can lower the barriers that prevent women from fully participating in the marketplace and the boardroom, quite frankly we'll unleash a wave of economic activity that will benefit the entire world."

Of what's currently on, the Antes del diluvio exhibition (on Mesopotamia 3500-2100 BC) is possibly the most interesting (16.00).

Picking the Right College Is a Vital, Unimportant Process
By adminAugust 22, 2012The Chronicle of Higher Education
Featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Chronicle Review
From the issue dated April 27, 2001
By Rachel Toor
April is the sweetest month. At least for the small percentage of applicants who get a thick envelope from their first-choice college. For those (and their parents) who receive an anemic thin letter of rejection, the month brings the stages of grief: disbelief, anger, and finally adjustment. By the time fall rolls around, most kids merrily go off to a college that they are convinced is right for them.
So how much does it matter where you go to college?
Many people, especially those who went to "prestigious" institutions, think that it matters a lot: a trump card to pull out in need. A fancy degree can help in getting that first (or later) job or in getting into graduate school. It can, in fact, help you for the rest of your life: make you a member of an elite club, regardless of whether you join the alumni association. Each month, I see advertisements for "The Right Stuff," an "Introduction Service" for anyone who is a "graduate or faculty member from our group of excellent schools" (think the Ivies, Stanford, Smith, M.I.T., etc.). "Date someone who knows that The Uncertainty Principle is not about first date etiquette," it reads.
When I was an admissions officer at Duke University, I had parents tell me that they didn't want to be embarrassed when acquaintances at a cocktail party asked where their child went to college. I also met parents who argued that, having themselves come of age in a recession, they wanted to make sure their child had every possible economic advantage. Rightly or wrongly, they believed that going to an elite school would provide a financial leg up.
Folks often point out how a Harvard man (feel free to insert another institution) will somehow work into the first five minutes of conversation the fact that he is a Harvard man. It's funny, but it's also evolutionarily useful: It does something for him. You may think he's a jerk, but you will also, on some level, be impressed (unless, of course, you went to Yale). This kind of name-dropping serves a purpose. It's a shorthand route to status and, like all credentials, tells you nothing specific. You don't know if the Harvard man was admitted because he was a legacy, a football player, or the son of a rich philanthropist. You also don't know how well he did in college. It's like the old joke: What do you call the person who graduates last in her medical-school class? Doctor.
So a brand name matters because people think it matters. But there's more. Part of what you get when attending a highly selective college or university is the benefit of a rigorous admissions process: a handpicked class that contains more talented and accomplished people than any group you are ever likely to meet again. Your peers often provide a better education than the classroom. It's in conversations about string theory with fellow students in the dining halls, late-night marathon sessions arguing about the existence of God, lifting weights in the gym and discussing the weirdness of the Electoral College, and speaking tentatively about the vagaries of sex that the value of being in a select group comes out. And sure, college is also about making the friends, the connections, who will follow you through life.
Of course, every institution of higher education has a core of students who are intellectually engaged. It's just that the selective admissions process appears to guarantee a higher percentage who'd rather talk about Kant than kegs.
However, the price of getting to be a Harvard Woman or a Princeton Tiger is that, even on today's fairly diverse campuses, you may become less like yourself and more like your classmates. Most colleges still have a dominant culture.
People who are 18 to 22 years old are highly susceptible to acculturation. When you observe students during their four years of college, you notice the changes in dress, hairstyles, even speech. Gone is the blue eye shadow from high school, replaced by black fingernail polish. Boys from cold rural areas trade in down parkas for cool long black overcoats. They don't just look more like their classmates than they did at the beginning: They may also think more like them. I used to say that our students entered Duke more interesting than they left it.
I was recently having a conversation with academic friends who teach at places with reputations for eggheady kids — in this case, Chicago, Columbia, and Reed. What astonished me was that my friends were saying the same things about their students: By senior year, many of the kids stop talking in class. They are intimidated not so much by their professors, but by other students. They no longer feel as confident as they did when they were at the top of their high school. The most important thing is belonging. Perhaps, on a few campuses, fitting in means appearing more intellectual. But where is that the case, if not at Chicago, Columbia, or Reed? At Duke they may wear Abercrombie, drink beer, and go to basketball games, while at Chicago they may dress in black and smoke endless cigarettes, but the result is not much different. They have been acculturated.
There's something to the fact that prospective students and their parents think that they can get a sense of the right "fit" by traveling around to college campuses. It's because, even at a glance, you can get a bead on the dominant culture at most places. Driving past the gym at Duke and seeing students camping out to get basketball tickets tells you something. I was at Caltech recently. The students I met were all unique, highly individual, contentious, quirky people. But they were all like that. They talked about how difficult it was to feel at home, to be comfortable. I was interested to hear reputed dining-hall rules: no "nerd talk" ("nerd talk," like Potter Stewart's definition of obscenity, was not defined), no reading at the table, and no language other than English. That told me a lot about Caltech.
Similarly, while hanging out not long ago with students at Cornell, I kept hearing the same answer to the question "Why Cornell?" A few had applied early decision, but most said, "I came because I didn't get into…" They were each happy at Cornell, but they were also united in a kind of culture of defeat. What does that do to the teenage psyche? And to the sensibilities of the place? (Again, the reader can substitute any number of excellent institutions where phenomenally talented students see themselves as "rejects" of "better schools.")
At the fancy schools, kids react in various ways to the transition from big fish/small pond to small fish/ocean. Some develop an arrogance in direct proportion to their feelings of inadequacy; others are humbled. A small group define themselves in opposition to the dominant culture. I know a number of "intellectuals" at Duke who boast that they have never attended a basketball game. "Shane?" they ask, raising an eyebrow. "It's a great movie."
So how much does it matter where you go to college? In terms of classroom education and level of undergraduate teaching, I think there's probably not a great difference among the many "good" private colleges that can afford to hire good faculty members and offer some small classes. I also know from years in academic publishing that there are equally good big state universities — and non-elite private universities — that have equally good faculty members. The professors there may be less accessible to students, simply by dint of numbers, but they — and their graduate students — may still be excellent teachers. And researchers. And we all know talented academics stuck in the boondocks.
Moreover, plenty of people will tell you that they went to a perfectly stinky school and nonetheless managed to become extremely successful, thank you very much. It's also the case that some of the most interesting, most intellectually alive people I know are autodidacts, either never graduating from college or never going. They seem to have a different relationship to learning — they read because they want to, not because they have been told to.
Where you go to college, I think, ultimately has to do with issues of social class. More than anything else, the fancy schools offer access to money, prestige, and power. For some students, that is old hat (the admissions process does, after all, privilege those who are already privileged); but for others, it means that their lives may be appreciably different from those of their parents.
I find myself now, in the wake of April acceptance and rejection letters, thinking about what an odd time this is in the life of high-school seniors. Once they send in their tuition deposits, they become members of a community that they neither know nor understand, but to which they still feel a strange connectedness. It's a time of fantasy and potential. The first thing many kids do after being admitted to "their" college is to broadcast their choice on a T-shirt or car sticker. That name may well become a part of who they are and who they will become.
So how much does it matter where you go to college? I suspect the answer is both "a lot" and "not at all."

Carolyn Jarvis is Global TV's investigative reporter and has spent more than a decade reporting and chasing stories across the country for Global News. Her work, ranging from investigative to feature reporting, has won numerous awards and acclaim. This spring, Jarvis' national investigation, exposing shortcomings in careless driving laws, led to a recent announcement of legislative change in Ontario. Also earlier this year, her provocative series about Ontario's probation system, which revealed sex offenders are living unsupervised in the community, prompted a week-long debate in Queen's Park and calls for reformed laws and stronger oversight. Prior to her current role, Jarvis served as host and chief correspondent of 16x9, a role that permitted her unprecedented access to otherwise closed-off communities. Next, she was the west coast correspondent and weekend anchor for the network's flagship nightly newscast,Global National. She also hosted Focus: Decision Canada, a national 30-minute political program based in Ottawa, devoted to the 2011 federal election. In the summer of 2014, Jarvis took part in a prestigious Investigative Journalism fellowship at Columbia University, where she sat as the only Canadian among a group of international investigative journalists.

Robert Mueller has raised his last red flag against the involvement of President Trump in the investigation carried out on alleged collusion between Moscow and his presidential campaign.
Earlier this week, the media released a series of questions that the lawyer "wanted the president to answer in an interview," according to the New York Times report.
From the knowledge of the conversations of Michael T. Flynn (former security adviser of his cabinet) with Russian officials to the nature and intention of his personal tweets, Mueller had the sensitivity to deliver to the legal team of Donald Trump the questions that the President should answer to his team.
For many, Mueller's list represents "the easiest open-book exam" in legal matters, as the host of the Daily Show, Trevor Noah, said, but the special lawyer's agenda seems to go further.
During the weekly conversation of Five Thirty Eight, Micah Cohen (political editor), Perry Bacon Jr. (senior writer), Clare Malone (senior political editor) and Nate Silver (editor in chief) crumbled the leak of Mueller's questions assuming a media ploy behind.
"I'm a bit skeptical that this is Mueller's real list because they seem a bit obvious," says Perry.
For Silver, Mueller's open questions leave the field free for Trump to elaborate, and this is precisely the double-edged sword.
"It's as if you're preparing for a potentially hostile interview and agree to review the issues with the interviewee beforehand, but not the specific questions."
While the questions may seem a bit vague or "open", what they do show is the line of analysis of Mueller, who has gradually assembled the investigation from the Russian interference in the 2016 elections to the nature of Trump's business and his family.
However, and according to Michael S. Schmidt in his analysis for the Times, "the majority (of the questions) relate to possible obstruction of justice, demonstrating how an investigation into Russia's election meddling grew to include an examination of the president's conduct in office".
The president has not hesitated to ridicule, disparage and reproach Robert Mueller's investigation, but the lawyer's determination remains intact.
According to a story published by Carol D. Leoning and Robert Costa in the Washington Post, if the president refused to give an interview voluntarily, "Mueller responded that he had another option: he could issue a subpoena for the president to appear before a grand jury", according to four people familiar with the meeting.
Apparently, both Mueller and his supervisor, Rod J. Rosenstein, will not allow Donald Trump to be above the law.

Attempts to authenticate the user through the LDAP server if the user does not exist locally and the ExtraHop system is configured to use LDAP for remote authentication.
Logs the user on to the ExtraHop system if the user exists and the password is validated through LDAP. The LDAP password is not stored locally on the ExtraHop system.
If the user does not exist or an incorrect password is used, an error message appears with the login page.
Ensure that each user to be remotely authorized is in a permission-specific group on the LDAP server before beginning this procedure.
In the Access Settings section, click Remote Authentication.
In the Methods section, select the LDAP option and click Continue.
Note: Clicking the back button in your browser during this procedure could result in lost changes.
Specifies the hostname or IP address of the LDAP server. Make sure that the DNS of the ExtraHop appliance is properly configured if you use a hostname.
Specifies the port on which the LDAP server is listening. Port 389 is the standard cleartext LDAP server port. Port 636 is the standard port for secure LDAP (ldaps/tls ldap).
Specifies the base of the LDAP search used to find users. The base DN must contain all user accounts that will have access to the ExtraHop appliance. The users can be direct members of the base DN or nested within an OU within the base DN if the Whole Subtree option is selected for the Search Scope specified below. Consult your LDAP administrator to learn what your organization selects.
Specifies the type of LDAP server. Select Posix or Active Direcrory.
A search filter of objectclass=* matches all entities and is the default wildcard.
Single level: This option looks for users that exist in the base DN; not any subtrees. For example, with a Base DN value of dc=example,dc=com, the search would find a user uid=jdoe,dc=example,dc=com, but would not find uid=jsmith,ou=seattle,dc=example,dc=com.
Whole subtree: This option looks recursively under the base DN for matching users. For example, with a Base DN value of dc=example,dc=com, the search would find the user uid=jdoe,dc=example,dc=com and uid=jsmith,ou=seattle,dc=example,dc=com.
Note: The standard login attribute for POSIX systems is uid. The standard login attribute for Active Directory systems is sAMAccountName.
Specifies the password used when authenticating with the LDAP server as the bind DN specified above. If you are using an anonymous bind, leave this setting blank. In some cases, an unauthenticated bind is possible, where you supply a Bind DN value but no bind password. Consult your LDAP administrator for the proper settings.
None: This options specifies the use of cleartext TCP sockets, typically port 389. Warning: All passwords are sent across the network in cleartext in this mode.
LDAPS: This option specifies LDAP wrapped inside SSL, typically on port 636.
Specifies which users can access the Admin UI on the ExtraHop appliance. If a DN is specified, only users in the specified DN will be able to log in with full write privileges. If the field is left blank, all users in the base DN will be able to log in with full write privileges.
If the test succeeds, the message LDAP settings test succeeded appears. If the test fails, the message LDAP settings test failed appears. Resolve any errors before continuing.
The ExtraHop appliance supports Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) for remote authentication and local authorization only. For remote authentication, the ExtraHop appliance supports unencrypted RADIUS and plaintext formats.
In the Methods section, select RADIUS from the Remote authentication method drop-down, then click Continue.
Host: The hostname or IP address of the RADIUS server. Make sure that the DNS of the ExtraHop appliance is properly configured if you use a hostname.
Secret: The shared secret between the ExtraHop appliance and the RADIUS server. Contact your RADIUS administrator to obtain the shared secret.
Timeout: The amount of time the ExtraHop appliance will wait for a response from the RADIUS server before it attempts to connect again.
Note: Remote users have full write access permissions to the Admin UI.
The ExtraHop appliance supports Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) for remote authentication and authorization.
Ensure that each user to be remotely authorized has the ExtraHop service configured on the TACACS+ server before beginning this procedure.
Go to the Access Settings section and click Remote Authentication.
In the Methods section, select TACACS+ and click Continue.
On the Add TACACS+ Server page, enter the host, secret, and timeout information and click Add Server.
Add multiple servers as needed.
Note: By default, remote users have full write access.

The Respondents, Dominic Parr and Trevor Parr Associates Limited, owned two Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in Nottingham which they let to students. Both properties had attic bedrooms which, as a result of sloping ceilings, had only a small amount of usable space. The Respondents applied to the Appellant, Nottingham City Council, for HMO licences in respect of the properties. The licences were granted subject to a prohibition, imposed pursuant to s67 Housing Act 2004, on using the attic bedrooms for sleeping owing to their small size.
In the other appeal, no such condition was imposed, but the FTT justified its conclusion on the basis that there were sufficient 'compensating features' in the property to make it suitable for 'students or similar cohesive occupation'. The Upper Tribunal dismissed Nottingham's appeal in both cases, and directed that the alternative condition imposed by the FTT should apply to both properties.
that no bedrooms may be let to persons other than students engaged in full-time education.
On appeal to the Supreme Court, Nottingham argued that the power to impose conditions under ss64 and 67 Housing Act 2004 could not be used to limit the class of persons for whom the HMO was suitable, and that the particular conditions imposed were irrational and unenforceable.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal. The purpose of the imposition of conditions (as could be seen from s64(3)(a) Housing Act 2004) was to 'make a house reasonably suitable for occupation by not more than the maximum number of households or persons specified in the application or decided by the housing authority'. The nature of those conditions was governed by s67, which permits a local authority to impose such conditions as are thought to be appropriate for regulating 'the management, use and occupation of the house concerned'. A condition regulating the occupation of a property, adopting the natural interpretation of the phrase, would include a condition saying how or by whom the property should be occupied. This interpretation was entirely consistent with the object of the legislation.
The particular conditions imposed in this case were neither irrational nor unenforceable. However, since the 10-month requirement was intended to ensure the property was occupied by full-time students, it was no longer necessary in light of the second condition imposed by the Court of Appeal and would be deleted.

Q: Receiving "Error: data and salt arguments required" when trying to post to NestJs backend from react frontend. Works in Postman I have been stuck on this problem for a few days now. I have a NestJs backend that runs on localhost:8080 with user authentication. When I use postman to login or register a user, it works perfectly fine. But when I try to do so from my React frontend, I get the following:  ERROR [ExceptionsHandler] data and salt arguments required.
Here is the code for my auth controller:
@ApiTags('auth')
@Controller('auth')
export class AuthController {
     constructor(private readonly authService: AuthService) {}

     @Post('register')
     async register(@Body() registrationData: RegisterDto) {
          return this.authService.register(registrationData);
     }

     @HttpCode(200)
     @UseGuards(LocalAuthenticationGuard)
     @Post('log-in')
     async logIn(@Req() request: RequestWithUser, @Res() response: Response) {
          const { user } = request;
          const cookie = this.authService.getCookieWithJwtToken(user.id);
          response.setHeader('Set-Cookie', cookie);
          user.password = undefined;
          return response.send(user);
     }

     @UseGuards(JwtAuthenticationGuard)
     @Post('log-out')
     async logOut(@Res() response: Response) {
          response.setHeader(
               'Set-Cookie',
               this.authService.getCookieForLogOut(),
          );
          return response.sendStatus(200);
     }

     @UseGuards(JwtAuthenticationGuard)
     @Get()
     authenticate(@Req() request: RequestWithUser) {
          const user = request.user;
          user.password = undefined;
          return user;
     }
}

On the frontend, I have a simple login component:
import { useRef, useState, useEffect, useContext } from 'react';
import AuthContext from '../../context/AuthProvider';

import axios from '../../api/axios';

const LOGIN_URL = '/auth/register';

const Login = () => {
    const { setAuth } = useContext(AuthContext);
    const userRef = useRef();
    const errRef = useRef();

    const [user, setUser] = useState('');
    const [pwd, setPwd] = useState('');
    const [errMsg, setErrMsg] = useState('');
    const [success, setSuccess] = useState(false);

    useEffect(() => {
        userRef.current.focus();
    }, []);

    useEffect(() => {
        setErrMsg('');
    }, [user, pwd]);

    const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
        e.preventDefault();

        try {
            const response = await axios.post(
                LOGIN_URL,
                JSON.stringify({ user, pwd }),
                {
                    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
                    withCredentials: true,
                }
            );
            console.log(JSON.stringify(response?.data));
            //console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
            const accessToken = response?.data?.accessToken;
            const roles = response?.data?.roles;
            setAuth({ user, pwd, roles, accessToken });
            setUser('');
            setPwd('');
            setSuccess(true);
        } catch (err) {
            if (!err?.response) {
                setErrMsg('No Server Response');
            } else if (err.response?.status === 400) {
                setErrMsg('Missing Username or Password');
            } else if (err.response?.status === 401) {
                setErrMsg('Unauthorized');
            } else {
                setErrMsg('Login Failed');
            }
            errRef.current.focus();
        }
    };

    return (

Do I look awkward? I think the title says it all. If there's one thing I hate with being taken pictures of, it's the fact that I don't know how to pose and compose myself. I always run out of ideas on posing and how I look like. And let's all face it, I'm not a model (and I don't think I'll pass model's specifics) and I don't have a perfectly sculptured face. ugh. I gets so annoying to see your photos and your face doesn't look decent.
I super love my crop-leather jacket.. they're really comfy and chic. I will probably wear these out again next time but with different styling, of course! This is outfit is very edgy, and the animal print and leather were still trendy!. I hope I did this trend some justice.. even just a little. haha! :P Anyway, sorry for the burnt, low quality photos. Blogger destroyed the quality :( I just had to edit the photos to give it more brightness since it was raining when we shot these. I will edit this post next time!
