From drops to pool, from grit to shoal: the ten-year journey of the men's anti-violence movement in China
Wed, 13 Jan 2021 - 11:43
Fang Gang
Over the past decade, men's involvement in anti-domestic violence in China has made great progress.
In 2010, the first male-led "male anti-domestic violence hotline" was set up in China, which was officially committed to promoting men's participation in social movements against gender violence. The hotline is open round-the-clock throughout the whole year, which also marks a new era of sustained work and development of China's Male Participation movement from this year on.
In April 2013, with the support of the representative office of the United Nations Population Fund, Fang Gang initiated "China White Ribbon Volunteer Network" (CWRVN), and served convener.
By the end of November 2020, 4007 people had made real-name promises and become part of the Male Participation movement.
To enable the work advocated by the White Ribbon, and to motivate volunteers from all over the country to engage in public welfare activities, we also encourage different areas to set up "White Ribbon service stations".
By the end of September 2020, more than 80 cities had set up White Ribbon service stations.
We build the three pillars of the volunteer team, which are consultation, promotion and teenager education.
I. Consultation
The target is to provide counseling and help for victims and witnesses of sexual violence, domestic violence and other gender violence, and provide guidance for behavioral change of perpetrators of gender violence and those with violence tendency.
On the one hand, in addition to the White Ribbon hotline, local volunteers of CWRVN have carried out various counseling programs for the parties concerned, such as case counseling and group counseling. On the other hand, we also worked on a large number of training for psychological counselors.
1. Counseling Group for those Who Have Suffered from Domestic Violence during Adolescence
In 2014, Doctor Fang Gang led a group called "Counseling Group for those Who Have Suffered from Domestic Violence during Adolescence". 10 young people who were victims of domestic violence when they were young joined and they received group consultation for 60 hours in total.
In 2016, we established the second session of the counseling group, 9 people joined and everything went well.
Drawing on the experience of the two sessions, we finished the booklet "Saying Goodbye to the Trauma from Domestic Violence—Group Counseling Booklet to those who have Suffered from Domestic Violence in their Families of Origin".
2. Group support for domestic violence perpetrators
We began to build up a counseling group for male abusers at the beginning of CWRVN, and compiled a group assistance program.
In September 2019, the Group officially started, led by Fang Gang and Tian bin. Due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the group activity ended in March 2020 after organizing a network activity after the last off-line activity organized in January 2020. The pre-test and post-test were carried out after the first activity of the group, which showed that the group activity had a great influence on the group members.
Training of psychological counseling ability for victims of domestic violence
This training have been held in 2017, 2019 and 2020. Each year, a training session will be organized in one city of each of three provinces. The training usually lasts for three days, and eight hours a day, which was held for psychological counselors, social workers and other personnel working in related fields.
After the training in each province, we set up the "psychological counseling Station for domestic violence parties" in the local area. Three years after training, psychological counseling is provided free of charge to victims of domestic violence one day a week.
4. Affirmative Psychotherapy and Counselling
In 2015, after five years, Affirmative Psychotherapy and Counselling by Fang Gang and Yang Zhihong was published after the manuscript had been revised for four times. In contrast to the traditional "reversal therapy", this new method advocates a supportive and accepting attitude towards the LGBT group. Affirmative Psychotherapy is opposed to violence against homosexual and transgender, and against violence among homosexual partners.
The publication of Affirmative Psychotherapy and Counselling shows CWRVN's concerns on gender-based violence in a broader sense.
II Work of Publicity
White ribbon volunteers have been through community awareness, street display, speeches, posters, mass media coverage and other ways to carry out male participation in the daily publicity and advocacy work.
In addition, there are some creative activities:
1."Men Tell Their Stories"
In 2014, CWRVN organized the campaign called "Men Tell Their Stories". In this campaign, ten participants, who support gender equality, went to four cities to share their gender-awareness journeys in universities, engaging more men against gender-based violence.
2."Male virtuousness class"
During the National Day holiday in 2015, Fang Gang held a workshop in Beijing on "Becoming Good Mates and Fathers: Male Development Workshop", known as " Male virtuousness class ".
The workshop drew wide attention from the media and was interviewed by over 20 media platforms.
Both sides of voices have sparked controversy. More than 300 media platforms, including several television stations, reposted the news and published their comments.
This workshop has become a good example of public opinion advocacy, prompting people to think about the role and responsibility of men.
3."White Ribbon Film Festival"
In 2016, Fang Gang selected 64 films to be compiled into the book "Gender Violence in Films",
Contents include a description of each film, an analysis of the film from the perspective of gender violence, a review of the film during viewing, and so on.
In December of the same year, based on the book, the White Ribbon Film Festival was held in Beijing to organize movie-viewing and discussions.
During that year's annual White Ribbon Gathering, volunteers from all over the world learned how to use the book to organize local White Ribbon Film Festivals to raise awareness against gender violence.
4.The Play The Penis Monologue
In 2018, Fang Gang finished the script for the play The Penis Monologue, which is also known as The Men's Monologue and has been premiered in Beijing in December of the same year. Since then, the play has been performed in five cities: Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Taizhou, and Linyi. Two of them were performed in Shenzhen.
The play is a parody of the famous feminist play "The Vagina Monologue" in the form of creation. In the play, more than ten men tell their own stories about their penises to reflect on men's violence against women, advocate male participation and gender equality, and oppose gender violence from a male perspective.
The play is divided into eleven acts, covering topics such as masculinity, sexual harassment, date rape, genderqueer, homophobia, unwanted pregnancy, domestic violence, impotence, domestic chores, and so on.
Ⅲ. Youth education work
The key to advocating against gender-based violence is prevention, therefore it is very important to focus on the influence on youth.
The CWRVN organization has developed two toolkits against gender-based violence and bullying for use in schools.
The organization began working on Positive Action: A Toolkit to End Gender-Based Violence in Schools in 2016.
In 2017, the organization began to work on the book Bringing Bullying to Zero: A Toolkit to End Bullying in Schools.
In the "Owl Sex Education Camp", the flagship product of the team of empowering sex education instructors, the concept of gender equality is embedded throughout both the youth and teenager camps. For example, in teenager camp, the afternoon of the first day is devoted to teaching the concept of "body right" and saying "no" to gender-based violence; while the second afternoon is devoted to reflecting on gender stereotypes and discussing gender diversity in the context of the movie Step Up.
The "Empowering Sex Education Series" compiled by Fang Gang also includes anti-gender violence content. This is not only about opposing sexual harassment and rape, but also about anti-domestic violence, anti-gender stereotypes, and advocacy of gender diversity and equality.
These books include: Middle School Sex Education Teaching Plan Samples, Movie Sex Education Reader, Family Sex Education 16 Lectures, All about Adolescent: Adolescent Sex Education Reader, Sexual Rights and Gender Equality: New Ideas and Methods of School Sex Education, Empowering Sex Education: Good Sex Education for Children, Sex Education in a Word, What Should We Teach in Sex Education: 85 Practical Cases of Sex Education,Open Sex Education: Sex Education That Affects Children's Life, Sex Education Teaching Kit for Primary School Students, Sex Education Teaching Kit for Junior High School Students, Sex Education Teaching Kit for Senior High School Students, and so on.

Google Retargeting Data Helping Your Competitors?
In March of last year, Google came out with their own form of display ad retargeting, they named it remarketing.
Remarking basically lets you show ads on third party web sites to people who have visited your web site. If they visited your web site to learn about flowers you sell, they can then see your ad on a flower blog that runs AdSense. That, in a nutshell is remarketing or retargeting.
I spotted a WebmasterWorld thread where one advertiser is convinced that his pixels on his commerce site is being used not just for remarketing purposes for his site but also for his competitors.
We have overwhelming evidence that suggests Google is utilizing the clickstream data collected from our client's Adwords retargeting pixels (i.e. "Audience") to serve competing ads on the Adsense network.
I do not follow Google's display network that closely but I've never seen a complaint like this before.
I assume if it works this way, I am sure it can also work in the reverse where your competitor's data helps you as well. Is that a bad thing? Seems so?

DLSU Libraries and PNULISAA Hold the Conference on Library and Information Science Studies (CLIS) 2020 Online
The very first Conference on Library and Information Science Studies (CLIS), jointly organized by the DLSU Libraries and the Philippine Normal University Library and Information Science Alumni Association, Inc. (PNULISAA), in partnership with CE-Logic and C&E Publishing, was held online on July 2-3, 2020. The conference envisions to: (1) Foster a culture of research among Filipino librarians; (2) Advocate research mentoring between expert and neophyte librarian researchers; (3) Encourage novice librarians to embrace research as part of their professional practice; and, (4) Promote research collaboration among librarians from different institutions.
The conference is the brainchild of the Library Management Committee (LMC) of the DLSU Libraries and was initially meant to develop a culture of research among its librarians and serve as a venue where completed research may be disseminated, initially, among the LMC members. To help spread the research culture among Filipino librarians, the Libraries sought the help of PNULISAA, being one of its most trusted partner to assist in providing a venue for practicing librarians to hone their research skills through mentorship, research collaboration, and offer them with opportunities to share and disseminate results of completed research, initially through paper presentations and ultimately through publications either in national or international journals.
Transforming Library Spaces is this year's conference theme, which pointed out the importance of informal learning spaces and how today's libraries are responding to the needs of the learners by reinventing library spaces, which now transcends beyond physical spaces and incorporates virtual/digital spaces.
No less than Mr. Joseph M. Yap, Expert-Reference Manager of Nazarbayev University Library in Kazakhstan, delivered the keynote address on the fist day of the conference. In his speech, Mr. Yap highlighted the research works of Filipino librarians and their contributions to the profession and the library and information science literature. He also helped inspire the participants by sharing his personal journey in conducting research and urged librarians to start doing research.
On the second day of the conference, Ms. Christine Abrigo, Director of the DLSU Libraries, gave the keynote address and discussed the library as a learning space and place. She emphasized the role of libraries in creating and reinventing spaces that support teaching and learning. She also talked about librarians as a go-to place whose go-to roles include bringing the library to the learning community and being part of the knowledge process through collaboration.
Overall, a total of ten paper presentations were featured in the conference covering local studies on space utilization, informal and formal learning spaces, reinventing spaces and the like. Some presentations provided systematic reviews and conceptual analysis related providing a more comprehensive and global perspective on the theme.
Judging from the number of librarians who participated (more than 500), the conference is regarded a big success.

Why do we have the letter "C" in English?
Why do we have the letter "C" in English? Have you ever wondered why we have the letter "C", which doesn't have a sound of its own but borrows from "K" and "S"? Curious about that I got this great book on the history of our alphabet called Language Visible: Unraveling the Mystery of the Alphabet From A to Z, by David Sacks. I refer to information from that book and my own knowledge of language. (It's a hobby of mine to study it.) "C" is more common than "K" by the way. I know that from my job at a reading school and my own research. "C" is most often pronounced like "K" but borrows from "S" when it's followed by "I, e," or "y" (an exception being the word soccer). Really the only unique contribution "C" makes to our language is when it's paired with "H" as in "ch" (but can sound like "K" in words of Greek origin: anchor, or "sh" in words of French origin: chef). Occasionally it breaks the rules when paired with "E" or "I" as in "ocean" or "glacier". Some

Q: calculate straight line declining i have asset (say vehicle) with value of 1000 in this year...
var assetCurrentBookValue = 1000

vehicle will depreciate within 5 years... that means the value will become 0 in the next 5 years...
var assetLife = 5

yearly depreciation become...
var assetYearlyDepreciation = assetCurrentBookValue / assetLife

i need to calculate yearly value after yearly depreciation like so...
year    assetYearlyDepreciation         assetBookVaue
2016    200                                     1000
2017    200                                     800
2018    200                                     600
2019    200                                     400
2020    200                                     200
2021    200                                     0

i need to convert into array like so...
[
    [2016,1000],
    [2017,800],
    [2018,600],
    [2019,400],
    [2020,200],
    [2021,0]
]

here my workaround...
var index = Array.from(Array(assetLife).keys());
var thisYear = new Date().getFullYear()

var assetYearlyBookValue = [[thisYear,assetCurrentBookValue]]

index.forEach((o) => {
    assetYearlyBookValue.push([o + thisYear + 1, assetCurrentBookValue - assetYearlyDepreciation])
});

but ive got..
[
    [2016,1000],
    [2017,800],
    [2018,800],
    [2019,800],
    [2020,800],
    [2021,800]
]

any help would be appreciated... thank Youu..

A: Modify your results from assetCurrentBookValue - assetYearlyDepreciation and new Date().getFullYear() and store them into variables so that you can get a continuously changing result:
var index = Array.from(Array(assetEconomicLife).keys());
var thisYear = new Date().getFullYear()

var assetYearlyBookValue = [[thisYear,assetCurrentBookValue]]
var lastRes = assetCurrentBookValue

index.forEach((o) => {
    lastRes -= assetYearlyDepreciation
    assetYearlyBookValue.push([o + (++thisYear), lastRes])
});

Some readers of my blog post about achieving 9.2% annual gains in my TFSA wonder how I did it. I didn't have a crystal ball. I didn't pick penny stocks. I didn't day trade my way to profits. I can honestly say the reason why I achieved such lofty gains was through one thing: Patience.
In fact, some would say I did poorly over the 7 year span since the TFSA was introduced. If you look at what the S&P 500 index has done over that time period you'll notice that it's been up over 146%. That's an annual compound gain of over 13.5% not including dividends. The fact that I only achieved 9.2% meant I under achieved the market return of the US stock exchange. Am I disappointed that I didn't meet maximum returns? Certainly not.
Not chasing big gains is the point of having a well balanced investment portfolio. I didn't chase gains, nor did I put all my eggs in one basket. What if the US economy went down the gutter and the S&P tanked like 2008? Would I being singing the same song? I probably would have cried a river big enough that you would white water raft down it (probably not). Making investments isn't about quick gains or chasing the hottest commodity. It's about diversity and patience.
You might read this and think that investing is a waste of you time. Who's got 7 years to double your money! "I want to be rich now!". Investing isn't gambling. I don't like chasing the hot stocks to make money or reading Internet articles gallivanting about the next Apple. It's all about being slow and steady. If you're looking to gamble, may I introduce you to Mr. Donald Trump.
Perhaps he can provide you more solid financial advice that might suit your financial needs.
So why did I achieve a smaller gain than what the S&P produced? Simple. I held other assets that didn't perform as well, but in doing so, I minimized the risk on my investment portfolio.
If you look at the Canadian TSX, the 7 years have been kind, but not as kind as the S&P 500. The Canadian stock market has only risen around 75% since 2009. That's an annual compound gain of around 8.3%. Not too shabby to say the least.
Throw in a Canadian bond ETF like XSB that has only risen 10% in capital gains with low yield of 2.7% in interest payments and you're getting around 3.4% annual gain from the safe haven of bonds.
If you mix and match the ratios of a simple balanced portfolio comprising of US and Canadian stocks with a holdings in Canadian bonds, you'll see how you can get a blended growth rate that can vary. A standard 60% equity and 40% bond holdings would already get you around 7.2% in annual gains, if you split your US and Canadian equity holdings down the middle. I'm a bit more aggressive and less risk adverse, so I went with a larger holdings in stocks than bonds, but that would be the only reason why I achieved larger gains.
I'm going to be the first to admit, that even my 9.2% annual gain is probably unsustainable in my TFSA. I wholeheartedly think that one of these years there will be a large drop in equity prices or numerous years of no gain. A 9.2% annual gain is by far, larger than long term historical gains. I think I'm more likely to see 6-7% long term gains instead.
Does that mean I should start selling my stocks now? Of course not! I'd lose out on my dividends if I did that. What would I invest in otherwise? GICs? Cash? You must be crazy. The reason why I use a diversified portfolio is so that it can weather the bad times while taking advantage of the good times.
The great thing about having fixed income assets is that they generally move in negative correlation to stocks. When investors start fleeing stocks where do you think they put their money? Bonds of course! That's why bond prices rise and they tend to cushion the losses you get from holding stocks. Notice how I say cushion and not prevent. You can never prevent losses when markets correct. That's because emotions run higher than an episode of the Bachelorette.
So the moral of the story is: Don't be scared. Don't start crying like the Bachelorette up there. There's no need to get emotional about your investments. Just remember to rebalance your portfolio when the waters get rough and you'll be fine. I know I am.

Robert Whittaker has pulled out of his scheduled fight at UFC 248 against Jared Cannonier for "undisclosed personal reasons," ESPN's Ariel Helwani reports.
The middleweight bout was scheduled as a co-main event alongside a women's strawweight title fight between champion Weili Zhang and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
[Don't miss Conor vs. Cowboy on Jan. 18: Order UFC 246 on ESPN+ now!]
Whittaker is the former middleweight champion who lost his title in a knockout loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 243 in October.
UFC looking for another fighter
The UFC is seeking a top contender to take Whittaker's place, but there remains no opponent for Cannonier, according to the report. Meanwhile, Adesanya told Helwani last Monday that he's planning to defend his title in the main event at UFC 248 vs. Yoel Romero, though that fight is yet to be announced.
UFC 248 is scheduled for March 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.


Support Wild Bison Reintroduction and Recovery in Colorado!
The bison that roamed through the Baca National Wildlife Refuge and Great Sands Dunes National Park were part of the millions that once roamed North America -- until unregulated shooting led to their mass slaughter. By 1889, scarcely 1,000 bison remained in the United States.
Reintroducing new wild bison to this historic habitat and giving them more room to roam will put us one step closer to once again experiencing the awe-inspiring sound of wild bison thundering across this part of Colorado.
But despite years of bison research in the San Luis Valley where these public lands are located, FWS is proposing to wait up to ten years before making a final decision – and NPS is proposing keeping bison at very low numbers if they allow them at all. Both of these actions would lead to senseless delays and could end this opportunity for bison recovery!
Tell FWS and NPS that you value wild bison reintroduction and recovery NOW!
Question - Not Required - Defenders' Mobile Action Network Yes, I would like to receive time-sensitive alerts from Defenders of Wildlife via text message.
Support for bison reintroduction and recovery in Colorado!
As a Coloradan, I urge the National Park Service (NPS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to collaborate on establishing a publicly owned herd of wild, wide-ranging bison on the Baca National Wildlife Refuge and in the Great Sands Dunes National Park. This is a great opportunity to bring two Department of Interior agencies together to help restore our wildlife legacy. I support in part the FWS Alternative B2 and the NPS Alternative Concept 3, to the extent that they create habitat for bison on Refuge and Park lands. Together, these proposals would create thousands of acres of habitat for publicly-owned wild bison and opportunities for Coloradans to experience bison at a scale that would be an inspiring wildlife spectacle. However, both agencies must do more. The FWS proposal to study bison for five to ten years ignores the fact that bison on a nearby Nature Conservancy property have provided ample experience on how bison will use this habitat, and we believe the FWS can move much more quickly to expand habitat for wild bison. Additionally, the NPS should aim for full ecological restoration of wild bison, not settle on an arbitrary choice of either high-density domestic bison or low-density wild bison. I, therefore, support full ecological restoration of wild bison on the Baca National Wildlife Refuge and in the Great Sand Dunes National Park, as well as connectivity between the two via purchase of key lands from the Nature Conservancy, which is consistent with the purposes of the Refuge and the Park. To this end, I urge the NPS to amend Alternative Concept 3 to include the option of increasing the population of bison to 400-1,000 (or more), consistent with resource capability, and for the FWS to adaptively manage, rather than experiment, with a bison population consistent with that target. Furthermore, I hope that the Park and Refuge will not maintain separate herds but instead jointly manage a larger herd that can roam across a larger area. Maintaining two separate herds and two separate management programs seems not only an incredible waste of public resources but also of an opportunity to demonstrate to the public that federal agencies can cooperate for the greater good. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and for this fantastic opportunity to grow a very special conservation herd of bison in a restored grassland of North America.

Jon Weisman's outlet for dealing psychologically with the Los Angeles Dodgers, baseball and life
Category: Draft	(Page 1 of 3)
In case you missed it: Old glove, new Kershaw
By Jon Weisman
In Draft, Health/injuries, In case you missed it
In this video clip, Vin Scully talks about how new Dodger outfielder Will Venable is using an actual old glove of Dave Roberts from 2005, seen above.
[mlbvideo id="822737883″ width="550″ height="308″ /]
Here are some more notes and news from the past week …
Cali Ann's getting a sibling. Clayton and Ellen Kershaw have a second baby on the way, due in November. Andy McCullough of the Times has the news in this Father's Day-themed interview with Kershaw, which talks at length about the softening effect parenthood has had on the Dodger ace.
Monday's nationally televised series-opener (ESPN) against the Washington Nationals figures to match Stephen Strasburg (2.90 ERA) against Clayton Kershaw (1.58 ERA). I'm not into win-loss records, but even a cynic like me about them finds it a little glamorous that the two pitchers are a combined 20-1. Reminder: Strasburg is four months and one day younger than Kershaw.
The Dodgers officially announced the signing of the following draft picks: shortstop Errol Robinson (sixth round), right-hander Andre Scrubb (eighth round), right-hander Dean Kremer (14th round), outfielder Darien Tubbs (16th round), third basemen Brock Carpenter (20th round), right-hander Jeff Paschke (22nd round), second baseman Brandon Montgomery (26th round) and catcher Steve Berman (31st round).
Ross Stripling gave a progress report to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com regarding his current hiatus from game action.
Chad Billingsley said he hasn't given up, but the former Dodger right-hander, who hasn't thrown a competitive pitch in 11 months, told Bruce Hefflinger of the Defiance Crescent-News (his hometown newspaper) that it was "most likely" that his career was over.
Scott Radinsky, the one-time Dodger reliever who is the Angels' bullpen coach, is thankfully recovering from April open-heart surgery after a big scare.
Former Dodger catcher Tim Federowicz was designated for assignment by the Cubs.
The Dodgers' take on Day 2 of the 2016 draft
In Draft
Eighth-round draft pick Andre Scrubb of High Point University (High Point Athletics)
As the Dodgers completed the first 10 rounds of the 2016 MLB draft, some fans scratched their heads over the selection of three shortstops, considering that the team has a 22-year-old future All-Star at the position.
But in discussing the Dodgers' selections today, director of amateur scouting Billy Gasparino explained the thinking — and no, it's not that the Dodgers have forgotten about Corey Seager.
"The theory is that looking throughout the history of the draft and how athletes develop and age, when they're athletic enough to play shortstop, it's a pretty good recipe — as they age and get older and their skills develop and their bodies go forward or backwards — they can usually play other positions," Gasparino said. "So many players today who are left fielders or right fielders, third basemen, second basemen, started out as shortstops. If you can start there, it's a lot easier to transition to other places on the field, and gives you more avenues of versatility that way."
In other words, this isn't the NBA. With development such a long, protracted process in baseball — and almost no such thing as a quick fix — the overwhelming tendency is to take the player with the greatest potential, regardless of what the current Major League roster looks like. If the worst-case scenario is the Dodgers have multiple quality shortstops, they'll live with that.
Gasparino also said that the drafting of several players from smaller four-year or community colleges illustrates an attempt to find value within a draft landscape where so few rocks go unturned.
"The depth of the draft is a priority and something we preach," he said, "so in many ways it leads you to go look for those players, and you kind of think you have value there, whereas (for example) the junior center fielder from the University of Georgia has been well seen."
Though players at different levels — or even at the same level but from different regions — obviously don't face the same level of competition, the Dodgers are confident in their ability to translate performance.
"That's why we have the tool grades, and you just look at the physical tools," Gasparino said. "And I think our analytical staff does a very good job of analyzing the numbers and trying to correlate different levels of competition with a lot of different factors. And just our scouts' experience: We have a lot of experience on the staff, and they seem to have a very good knack of trying to cipher through that stuff and figure out who the better players are."
Gasparino said that advanced scouting stats such as exit velocity and spin rate have migrated to the Division I colleges and high-school summer showcases, further enhancing their ability to evaluate.
And with that, here are quick thoughts from Gasparino on each of the Dodgers' draft picks today:

Left-handed pitcher Devin Smeltzer was the Dodgers' fifth-round selection in the 2016 MLB draft.
The 6-foot-2, 170-pounder from Voorhees, New Jersey was previously drafted by the Padres in the 33rd round in 2014. A former top-100 prospect of Baseball America, he instead attended Florida Gulf Coast University, before transfering to San Jacinto College in Texas to accelerate his path to the pros, according to Dana Caldwell of the Naples Daily News.
He had a 1.18 ERA and 12.6 strikeouts per nine innings with SJC this year, finishing his season with a 20-strikeout two-hitter, in which he threw 140 pitches.
This figures to be the final 2016 draft pick we'll do an individual post on. We'll round up the rest of the Day 2 selections later today — in the meantime, follow the action at MLB.com's Draft Tracker.
D.J. Peters, 6-foot-6 outfielder, taken in fourth round by Dodgers
With their fourth-round pick and the 131st taken overall in the MLB draft, the Dodgers selected their second 6-foot-6 player in a row: 20-year-old right-handed outfielder D.J. Peters, from Glendora High School by way of Western Nevada Community College.
Peters had a .519 on-base percentage and .734 slugging percentage in 2016 for the Wildcats, with 31 extra-base hits and 34 walks compared with 33 strikeouts. For context, his .419 batting average and 16 home runs in 2016 set school records. (He also had a 1.35 ERA in 6 2/3 innings)
As this Western Nevada story notes, Peters was taken in the 36th round twice before, by the Texas Rangers last year and by the Cubs after his senior year at Glendora.
Dodgers draft high school RHP Dustin May in third round
Kicking off their selections in today's second day of the MLB Draft, the Dodgers used their third-round pick (101st overall) on right-handed pitcher Dustin May from Northwest High School in Justin, Texas.

With three picks before the second round of Thursday's 2016 MLB draft, the Dodgers are sitting pretty.
And on top of that, their top pick from 2015, Walker Buehler — who had Tommy John surgery in August before appearing in a professional game — is on course to make this year's haul even stronger.
"Walker Buehler's going to be ready to throw next year — he's almost like a pick this year," Gasparino said. "We feel good about his recovery, his rehab and where he's at in the process."

Hours before they started the second half of their season in Washington, the Dodgers met the deadline for singing players from the 2015 amateur draft by locking up first-round draft choice Walker Buehler, sixth-rounder Edwin Rios and 30th-rounder Logan Crouse.
Buehler's signing came amid some media reports today that he had an elbow issue.
"We're not going to comment on anything medically related to Walker," Dodger general manager Farhan Zaidi said. "We're obviously excited to have him on board. He finished the college season strong, obviously pitched in the College World Series."
Rios, who had a .421 on-base percentage and .591 slugging percentage with 18 home runs in 61 games for Florida International in his junior season this year, was the only corner infielder in the first 10 rounds of Dodger draft selections. Negotiations went down to the wire.
"We went really pitching heavy," Zaidi said, "so being able to get a college bat with some polish and hopefully the ability to hit in the middle of the lineup is exciting. It took a little bit of time to hammer out the deal, so the lost development time is unfortunate, but we're obviously excited to have him now. We'll start him out in Arizona and hopefully move out to one of the other clubs shortly thereafter."
Dodgers sign College World Series stars Sborz, Pfeifer

Two of the top arms from the College World Series who were drafted by the Dodgers last month — Virginia right-handed pitcher Josh Sborz and Vanderbilt lefty Philip Pfeifer — have inked their deals with the team.
Sborz was named Most Valuable Player of the CWS after he threw 13 shutout innings there, part of a season-ending 27-inning scoreless streak that lowered his 2015 ERA to 1.60.
Pfeifer allowed three runs (all unearned) in 12 innings at the CWS on 12 hits and four walks, while striking out 13.
The Dodgers have signed 32 of their 42 draft picks.

The College World Series has been a showcase for 2015 Dodger draftees Walker Buehler, Philip Pfeifer and Josh Sborz.
Sborz, a Virginia right-hander who has alternated between starting and relief in his three years there, pitched four shutout innings to close out a 5-4 victory Saturday over Florida, lifting the Cavaliers into the CWS championship round. Sborz has a streak of 23 consecutive scoreless innings, including nine in the CWS.
Josh Sborz's nine shutout innings in College World Series:
June 13: three innings, one hit, one walk, five strikeouts, 40 pitches
June 15: two innings, no hits, no walks, no strikeouts, 20 pitches
June 20: four innings: three hits, one walk, two strikeouts, 54 pitches
Total: nine innings, four hits, two walks, seven strikeouts, 114 pitches
In the best-of-three CWS championship series beginning Monday, Virgina will play Vanderbilt, which features Buehler and Pfeifer in its starting rotation. Buehler allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings (89 pitches) Friday against Texas Christian, striking out eight, in pitching the Commodores to the final round.
That came three days after Pfeifer's seven shutout innings (111 pitches) with seven strikeouts in a 1-0 Vandy victory over TCU. Pfeifer is scheduled to start Tuesday's Game 2 on six days' rest, with Buehler possibly taking Game 3 on four days' rest if necessary Wednesday.
Ross Stripling returns to action after Tommy John surgery
In Draft, Health/injuries, Pregame
Back on the mound after Tommy John surgery, Dodger pitching prospect Ross Stripling made his first official start since August 2013, pitching four shutout innings for Single-A Great Lakes on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Stripling allowed a single and two walks, while striking out four. Across two levels in 2013, Stripling had a 2.82 ERA, 117 strikeouts and a 1.14 WHIP in 127 2/3 innings in 2013.
Stripling began throwing in January, he told Dodger Insider, nine months after his operation.
The Dodgers announced the following signings from the 2015 draft:

In addition, the club signed third baseman Nicholas Sell, the NCAA Division II most outstanding player, and pitcher Wes Heslabeck as non-drafted free agents.
Dodgers wrap up draft heavy in college righties
Diamondbacks at Dodgers, 7:10 p.m.
After taking right-handed college pitchers with six of their first nine picks, the Dodgers didn't drift very far from that focus as the 2015 MLB Draft concluded today.
Although the Dodgers drafted five catchers between rounds 12-21, the franchise still ended up using 22 of their 42 picks overall on northpaws — 17 of them from college. (See the round-by-round list here.)
Draft Day II: The running list
Here's a link to MLB's 2015 Draft Tracker of the Dodgers' selections. Today brings rounds 3-10, and you can either follow along at MLB or see your updates as they come here at Dodger Insider.
The third round begins at 10 a.m., with the Dodgers making the 26th pick of that round and 101st overall.
Virginia RHP Josh Sborz is final Dodger pick of MLB Draft's first day
Using the competitive balance draft pick (74th overall) they acquired from Baltimore in the Ryan Webb deal, the Dodgers selected 6-foot-3 college right-handed pitcher Josh Sborz from Virginia.
Here's the MLB.com snapshot:
Sborz, whose brother Jay spent eight seasons in pro ball, pitched in relief as a freshman at Virginia before moving into the rotation as a sophomore. He returned to the bullpen in 2015, serving as the Cavaliers' closer and thriving in the role. Sborz's arm strength is what defines him as a prospect. He's shown a fastball that he can crank up to 98 mph on occasion, though it usually sits in the 93-95 mph range, with some sink. He has a slider that should be at least Major League average and while he doesn't need a changeup much in short relief, he will show occasional feel for the pitch. Scouts aren't in love with his funky arm action, but the stuff is hard to be denied. Sborz didn't pitch badly as a sophomore starter, and it's possible a team taking him early could decide to send him out in a rotation. But he more than likely profiles as a hard-throwing short reliever at the Major League level.
And Baseball America …
The younger brother of one-time major leaguer and second-round pick Jay Sborz, Josh has the potential to be the second in his family to reach the big leagues. The younger Sborz has bounced back and forth between the rotation and the bullpen for Virginia, and scouts have had ample time to evaluate him in both places. Sborz has a less than conventional delivery, with a stab in the back followed by a deep finish out front that makes his stuff difficult to square up. His fastball works mostly at 90-94 mph, but can reach 95 and the pitch features late life, which allows Sborz to generate poor contact. His best offspeed pitch is his slider, which plays as an above-average pitch because of how late it breaks, but the pitch lacks the shape and depth of the standard swing-and-miss slider. Sborz tends to struggle with fastball command, sometimes elevating the offering and running into trouble. Even so, many scouts believe Sborz has the stuff, as well as the body, to make it as a back-of-the-rotation starter.
The MLB draft resumes beginning with the third round Tuesday morning.
Dodgers draft prep OF Mitch Hansen in second round
[mlbvideo id="82575983″ width="550″ height="308″ /]
Mitch Hansen, a 6-foot-4 left-handed outfielder from Plano Senior High in Texas, is the Dodgers' second-round pick (67th overall) in the 2015 MLB draft.
Here's what MLB.com says about him:
One of the more well-rounded position players in the 2015 Draft class, Hansen has solid tools across the board. Evaluators who like him think several of those could develop into plusses, though he'll have to get picked early to deter him from his Stanford commitment. Hansen has a fluid, compact left-handed swing and a good feel for hitting. He uses the entire field, has performed well against quality pitching on the showcase circuit and with the U.S. 18-and-under national team, and is growing into some power. He's not especially quick out of the batter's box but flashes plus speed at times once he gets going. Hansen has enough speed and arm strength to play all three outfield positions, though he profiles best in right field. Scouts have compared him to Michael Saunders and Mets prospect Brandon Nimmo, a high school first-rounder in 2011.
In 1991, the Blue Jays were enamored enough with a tall, sweet-swinging and academically-inclined lefthanded-hitting outfielder to pick him sixth overall, which was enough to induce him to forgo his scholarship to Stanford. Both Shawn Green and the Blue Jays made a wise decision as Green went on to play nearly 2,000 MLB games. He's unlikely to go in the top six picks, but Hansen, a tall, sweet-swinging and academically-inclined lefthanded-hitting outfielder with a Stanford commitment will face a similar decision. Hansen has been a two-sport star at Plano playing quaterback/wide receiver and outfield and his sister just set an Ivy League record in winning the women's heptathlon. Hansen has an ideal corner outfielder's frame as he should add significant good weight to his 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame. He plays center field for now and shows good reads and routes, but will likely grow to a corner spot as he gets bigger and slows down. He's currently an above-average runner who turns in plus times at his best. His arm is below-average. His swing can get long at times, but it's a smooth stroke with some lift and leverage that could eventually produce above-average power. Signability is a question if he falls far in the draft.
I'm a Dodger Baby!!! Glory to God

The Mi'kmaq nation in the Canadian province of New Brunswick was at the forefront of both violent anti-shale gas protests and the indigenous land rights debate last month. The target was the seismic testing and exploration work of a Canadian subsidiary of Texas-based Southwestern Energy. Canada and the US have similar shale geological formations, which have made the technology that has driven a US shale gas boom, adaptable north of the border. But the reaction to these developments in Canada, or at least in New Brunswick, has added to the debate about natural resource investment and shale gas technology. New Brunswick is referred to as a "have-not" province because it receives transfer payments from the federal government to cover mandated social programs. Many residents support natural resources development, which may have been the expectation of the provincial government when it approved shale gas exploration with distinct rules. But the indigenous people in the area, the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet, also known as First Nations, have stated that although they too support economic development, they were not consulted on the shale gas plans.
The Mi'kmaq maintain a 13,000-year-old claim on their traditional lands, but it is the provincial government that owns the natural resource rights. Provincial and federal officers were enforcing an injunction against protestors when the events in mid-October turned from slowing traffic on a highway near the exploration site to guns, dogs, pepper spray and burning police cars. Reports stated that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) found weapons at the site. The protestors say that the exploration is taking place on their traditional hunting lands. New Brunswick's rules for natural gas exploration apply to private and provincial land.
If this dispute were to be presented for international dispute resolution, with the Mi'kmaq represented as a sovereign nation seeking a resolution with the New Brunswick provincial government, the Canadian federal government and a US corporation, all parties would likely disagree as to whether any law had been violated when exploration began. The provincial and federal governments have the law enforcement officials, but the Mi'kmaq can point to various peace and friendship treaties none of which appear to have surrendered the rights to land. A private member's bill was introduced in the Canadian Parliament this year calling for legislation to ensure that Canada's laws are consistent with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. There is little belief that such a law would be passed anytime soon.
Similar to other First Nations cultures, Mi'kmaq tradition emphasizes the connection of all living things. But for all parties in this Native land dispute to come to the table, as has successfully been accomplished in the past, there would need to be at least a common understanding of applicable laws, a willingness to recognize conflicting claims and rights, and the collective leadership to pursue an agreement. So far, it appears that none of those variables have manifested in this fight.

I like to think I can hold my own. If I need help, I'll ask for it. Well, when you're preggo, EVERYONE wants to help you with something. It's sweet and thoughtful, but it catches me off-guard. Strangers suddenly want to help me unload my grocery cart and assist me to my car. It gets to be a little overwhelming, but I'm learning to graciously accept the help. Instead of coming up with a gazillion reasons as to why I can do it myself, I'm working to just smile and say "Thanks."
EATING: I recently gave this Creamy Spinach Tomato Tortellini a whirl, and I'd highly recommend it. I tweaked a few of the ingredients (I opted for fresh onion and tomatoes), and it turned out rather tasty. Next time, I think I'll add more spinach. Yum!
WATCHING: Last Sunday night, Flyboy and I were all pumped up and ready to watch Big Brother. We sat down on the couch with a few minutes to spare, and as FB proceeded to flip through the channels, I glanced down at my stomach. Suddenly, I could see the baby moving. What the?! I was a bit perplexed and wondered if I was just imagining this. Up until this point, I could only feel him move—I never actually saw anything. I waited a few minutes to see if it was really happening before I let FB in on the action. Within seconds he saw the same thing I was looking at. We came to the conclusion that it's natural and beautiful and whatnot, but it's also kinda creepy at the same time. Does that make us bad parents?! Ha Ha!
FEELING: Call it horticultural hubris, but my black thumb is looking a lot greener these days. I'm actually buying plants to add to our collection and not to replace them. It's incredible! When I water them in the morning, I can't help but wonder what my mom would think. She has an incredible knack for gardening, and I'm certain she would be proud that everything we got while she visited is still surviving. I don't want to let all this confidence get to my head, but I'm pleased as punch.
THINKING ABOUT: I still can't get over the awkwardness that went down on Monday afternoon at the local nail salon. With all of the random projects I've had going on around the house, I've had a Dickens of a time keeping my mani chip-free. Naturally, I decided to squeeze in a quick gel manicure. You know, treat yo self! Just as I hoped, the place was dead. It was me, another lady, and two Korean employees. I was assigned to the male. He was super detailed and did a fantastic job. Toward the end of my manicure, the female nail artist asked if I'm pregnant. I nodded yes and she started to speak to my nail guy. I didn't think anything of it. Moments later, I see him get up out of his chair and he starts giving me a back massage. My cheeks turned bright red and it took everything inside me to not bust out laughing. At one point I looked around the room and wondered if my mom or my sister put the gentleman up to this practical joke. I started looking around to see if I was caught on Candid Camera. And just when I thought my complimentary massage had come to completion, I started getting whacked on my back. There was so much brut force to his karate chop movements, I couldn't help but be thrust forward. I really hope the tip I left fully expressed my gratitude!
LISTENING TO: It's no secret I have mad Vee-Dub love, and parting with The Black Flash last October wasn't easy. I just adored that little Jetta of ours, and I'll admit that it's taken me a few months to really bond with The Rig—our Jetta SportWagen (yes, we're original like that). From the moment we started to discuss replacement options for the Jetta, I knew I wanted a TDI. Driving a turbo-diesel just seemed like a fun and tough way to be fuel-efficient. That's sound enough reasoning, am I right?! Whenever I roll down the window and I hear the engine purring, I can't help but giggle. I'm serious, it gets me EVERY time. The sound is just a hoot! When I think of a diesel, I envision a ginormous 18-wheeler, not a little station wagon with me in the driver's seat.
READING: I've had SO much fun reading all of the comments and feedback you shared in Monday's post. It's been a joy getting to "meet" some of you for the first time. I wasn't sure if my readership had actually grown in the last year, or if my parents were just hitting the refresh button repetitively and that was the explanation behind the bump in traffic. Ha Ha! At any rate, thank you for stopping by and sharing your two cents. I can assure you there will be a house tour of some sort later this summer. I'm hoping to put a post together once the nursery is polished. Additionally, I have every intention to share more OOTD and style posts/pictures as soon as this kid pops out. I feel somewhat limited in my options these days. With approximately five outfits on rotation, you're not missing much. I promise! I was also incredibly touched by your interest in my pregnancy and our growing family. As soon as I found out I was expecting, I immediately worried about how it might change things on m' blog. The fact that you want to share this next adventure with us makes me smile BIG time. I'm so lucky to have you!
LOVING: I saw this t-shirt and wanted to hit the purchase button instantly. I had visions of wearing it whilst walking my fur kids. It was going to be perfect. Then I realized that's probably a tad (okay, A LOT) hokey, but it's just so adorable and true. I really LOVE my dogs. In fact, I still have moments where I ponder if there's room in my heart to love a child as much as I love Tripp and Beesly. If you think I'm off my Eames rocker, just read this article about Kristen Bell. Veronica Mars gets me, my friends.

In this brand new series Pastor Duane looks at what Christians believe by studying the Apostles Creed. In part one we learn that the Christian belief is not a smorgasbord where you can pick and choose what to believe, but rather that the Bible gives us the foundation for our faith.
What Christianity looked like in the first century is what it should look like today. But does it? Or, are we trying to reinvent the church? In this message Pastor Duane teaches us that the faith – what Christians believe – was "delivered once for all", not just for a select group hundreds of years ago.
In this third message of the I Believe series, Pastor Duane looks at the phrase from the Apostles Creed "conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary". The virgin birth is one of the foundations of Christianity, God putting on a suit of humanity and coming down to earth. Find out why this foundation is vital to our Christian faith.
What Christians believed in the 1st century is the same thing Christians are to believe in the 21st century. On this programs, Pastor Duane continues to break down the Apostle's Creed as we look at the phrase "was crucified, dead and buried".
As Pastor Duane continues the series 'I Believe' we will look at the phrase from the Apostles Creed "He descended into hell. The third day, he arose again from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty".
In part six of the 'I Believe' series, Pastor Duane teaches us about the phrase from the Apostles Creed which says "He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty." We will learn what Jesus did, and how you and I, by faith, can receive the benefits.
The Apostles Creed states: "I believe in the Holy Spirit…" and in this message Pastor Duane teaches us about the significance of the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
In this final message from the series 'I Believe', we will be looking at the last two phrases of the Apostles Creed: the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. What does eternity look like for a Christian? What are the benefits? And,what are some of the great things that we have to look forward to? Pastor Duane finds the answers in the Bible to these questions and others.

Visiting scholar reconnecting cities and an aging population

Don't blame Stefanie Kuhn for sweating the small stuff.
"I'm artsy and I love detail. I notice all the little details – all of them," said Kuhn, a visiting graduate research scholar in the Faculty of Health Sciences. "In architecture, you get to be a bit of a jack-of-all-trades as it encompasses so many disciplines. You study the history of everything, but you also work with people, so there's psychology, and you work with landscapes, so there's geography.
"It's a good discipline to be in if you're artsy, but like everything else as well."
In November, Kuhn embarked on a five-month research stint at Western to examine London's Cherryhill Village Mall on Oxford Street, as it relates to urban design for an aging population, and perhaps apply those findings to her research at Cambridge University.
Working on her MPhil in Architecture and Urban Design, Kuhn focuses on elderly well-being and the city, exploring how urban planners can design future city cores to become accommodating to and, in turn, more attractive to, an aging population.
Her specific project at Cambridge examines Blackpool, England, a seaside city of 142,000 people. Despite an ongoing renewal effort, the dense metro area struggles with a low-income population and high crime rates. How can a city like that, Kuhn asks in her research, re-attract its aging population?
"I started looking at what characteristics of the environment are stopping elderly people from coming into the city," she said. "I look at well-being of elderly people, and active acting in regard to well-being. That breaks down into all sorts of categories. I focus on those categories that can stop people – those barriers or enablers, as I call them – from coming into the city.
"Blackpool is quite a good case study for that, really."
Her work led to a deeper exploration of 'naturally occurring retirement communities.'
"These are interesting because there is desirability to them, because they are naturally occurring. People want to go to them," she said. "If we started to look at why they want to move to these places, it would give us some insight into how we could then start to plan some initiatives."
Exploring that concept led her to a case study on London's Cherryhill Village Mall by Health Studies professor Marita Kloseck, analyzing what can be learned from the city's best-known naturally occurring retirement community. The two researchers soon connected on a project to add depth to Kuhn's studies.
"People love it, obviously. It has attracted so many people," Kuhn said. "Cherryhill works because it has all of these wonderful primary facilities. And it has adapted to the population's needs over time. From an architecture point of view, it is interesting. I can see why Cherryhill works."
At Western, Kuhn works with Kloseck and Health Studies professor Deborah Fitzsimmons in the Sam Katz Community Health and Aging Research Lab. Using Cherryhill as an example, the researchers are creating a series of papers outlining a framework for urban planners confronting retrofits, or new developments, and how to make them attractive and convenience to the aging population.
"Stefanie, with her architecture and urban design interest, brings a novel perspective to the Community Health and Aging Research Unit," Kloseck said. "She highlights the importance of environmental design in optimizing 'aging in place,' a priority for health policy-makers nationally and internationally. Her research showcases the importance of function, and not simply age, in keeping seniors living independently in the community."

Even when I have little money, a new hardback book on bees is tempting, especially when it has as extensive a bibliography as A World Without Bees. To some extent, I had been waiting for a book like this to be written. A lot of people ask me if the bees are in danger and I say, "Yeah, that's what I keep hearing," but to what extent I did not know. This book elucidated the extent of the horror quite well.
But first, let's cite some examples from the book of how incredible bees are: 1.2 million hives are driven into California each spring to pollinate almonds. Each acre of orchard is given two hives or about 80,000 bees. Just estimating, the bees of each hive will have to make an average of 45,000 trips a day just to acquire enough pollen and nectar to raise its young and survive the winter. 30 years ago, an acre of orchard would produce 500 lbs of almonds. Today, with bees brought in for pollination service, that same acre will produce 3000 lbs of almonds.
So consider now how dependent we are on bees, not just individually but on the scale of our culture and civilization, when around 70% of the food we eat is dependent upon insect pollination, and for our needs, honeybees do it best. So now consider this statistic: during 2007 and 2008, over one third of all honeybees disappeared. 800,000 losses in 2007, and a million in 2008, all due to what has been called "Colony Collapse Disorder" or CCD, for short.
What is causing it? No one knows. Let me repeat that; no one knows. Culprits? 1) The stress of agri-industrial beekeeping, in which bees are shipped from Maine to Florida to California to Montana on the backs of trucks. Honeybee pests and diseases have been known to spread more rapidly because of this practice, and many if not all migratory beekeepers supplement their diet with sugar-water and substitute pollen to increase colony sizes in late winter. 2) A narrowing gene pool, in which the new colonies created by bee-breeders are drawing from limited stock and diversity to respond to new stresses in the environment.
3) Varroa Mites, new strains of familiar viruses, fungi, beetles, and potentially viruses mutating to cooperate with mites. And 4) Pesticides, GMOs, and monoculture. A bee slurps nectar from a flower whose DNA has a fragment of shellfish DNA in it… is that okay?
Unfortunately, all research to date has been inconclusive because scientists can not isolate which problem for bees is causing the major problem for bees. It's either a perfect storm of all conditions, or something has changed. If you don't read this book, please start paying attention. This is a really big deal.

Q: EventGrid-triggered, Python Azure Function keeps triggering after successfully running? There are a couple other topics out there, but none with solutions or none pertaining to Python Functions.
Background:

*

*EventGrid-triggered, Python Azure Function

*EventGrid messages created only when a blob is uploaded to a given Storage Account

*Function receives message, downloads blob from message URL and does "stuff"

*Function can run for several seconds/minutes (up to 120 seconds for large blobs)

Example of issue:

*

*4 files uploaded to blob container in correct Storage Account

*Function successfully triggered 4 times, by 4 separate EventGrid messages

*Function downloads blob from URL in each message, does "stuff"

*~55 seconds later, 4 more EventGrid messages trigger the Function all over again (for the same 4 files!)

*Everything repeats

This happens multiple times resulting in 12 Function executions for 4 files:

*

*And corresponding output from the "stuff" the Function does!

It gets ridiculous when 2500 files are uploaded to the Storage Account!
Seems like I need to adjust the EventGrid retry timing. But I don't see a setting for this in the Portal:

How do I prevent this behavior?
EDIT 1: Then today... no issue with 16 files uploaded... why is this Function inconsistently being triggered by EventGrid?

EDIT 2: And again today... for no reason, ~an hour later... EventGrid fired off a bunch more triggers though NO MORE FILES have been uploaded to the storage account.

Here are the EventGrid stats for 16 files being uploaded to storage account.

*

*You can clearly see the numbers are all over the place with in some cases, ~1hour between retries.

*Looks quite arbitrary to me

EDIT 3: For anyone interested...

*

*What appears to be happening is: EventGrid is being triggered by TWO events within the Storage Account for a SINGLE file upload.

*This is generating two EventGrid schemas (one for a "Microsoft.Storage.BlobCreated event" and one for "Microsoft.Storage.BlobCreated event (Data Lake Storage Gen2)"

*Because the data.url parameter of the EventGrid message is different (xxx.blob.core.windows.net vs. xxx.dfs.core.windows.net), my Function is failing (as it uses BlobClient.from_blob_url

*More to come.

A: Based on the doc, the subscriber (such as your EventGridTrigger function) needs to send a response back to the AEG within the 30 seconds otherwise the message is queued for retry.
Note, that the event is removed from the retry queue when the AEG received within 3 minutes successful respond from the delivery destination endpoint (subscriber). If the deadlettering feature is on, the event is removed from the retry queue also when the respond failure code are 400 or 413.
Based on the above and your long running subscriber, the AEG sent a duplicate event within the 3 minutes.
I do recommend use a Push-Pull pattern in your solution such as delivery an event to the storage queue.
