10 'Pinoy Big Brother: All In' moments: Surprises, confessions and more
Pinoy Big Brother: All In
What comes out of it is, I love you. Caught off-guard by the confession, Jane told Big Brother what she felt over the situation. Both were advised to think well over the matter. As viewers saw the closeness between Vickie Rushton and Brazilian-Japanese model Daniel Matsunaga inside the house, many wondered if Vickie was falling for Daniel especially when the model gave her a kiss during one of their activities.
In the July 27 episode, Vickie confessed to Kuya that she and boyfriend, actor Jason Abalos almost broke up several times, saying that Jason was not exerting effort into their relationship. In a separate interview, he also clarified that he was not jealous of Daniel and that he loves Vicky very much.
Comedian Vice Ganda entered the house to talk to the housemates about facing criticism. Actor Piolo Pascual listens as Kuya gives him instructions for the housemates. Kpop star Sandara Park even dropped by to pay a visit to the housemates, who welcomed her with open arms. Director Cathy Molina Garcia visits the housemates. The short film Endless was eventually shown on television, Saturday, August On August 18, housemate Maris Racal told Kuya about her feelings when she found out that her parents were not married and have been living together all these years.
The three leaders were later given three hours to sharpen 3, pencils at night in order to earn more sharpeners; for accepting the task, they will also carry the responsibility to the task and only the three of them will work on it.
Maris was tasked by Big Brother the following morning to count how many pencils Manolo, Vickie, and Jane had sharpened. Only less than 2, pencils were sharpened; thus, their task was considered a failure. However, due to the three's hardwork, Big Brother still gave them extra sharpeners. They were asked by Big Brother to whom they will pass the weekly task; they decided not to pass it to anyone and keep the responsibility to themselves.
Big Brother told the teens on Day 33 that he will lift their task as servants if they will clean the picnic area within the duration of the show's theme song.
The teens finished the last task and was freed their task as servants. As a reward to their hardship, Nichole received two cup noodles; while Maris and Joshua received guitars from Yeng Constantino.

The next morning, Manolo received a visit of his dog as a reward. Confrontations arose as the housemates had little time to finish the task.
Five hours before the deadline on Day 34, Big Brother told the housemates that everybody can now help with the task. After the 5 remaining hours, the housemates failed to finish the weekly task.

The housemates were again tasked to do a debate, but this time through a rap battle. Jacob was later evicted.
However, in a twist called Insta Save, Big Brother gave them a chance to remove themselves from the list of nominees. At the picnic area, they have to reach for a key that will unlock their prison cell while they are locked inside it.
To reach the key, they need to use only the items inside each of their cells. Whoever unlocks them first will be instantly removed from the list of nominees.
They were also given the chance to ask for help to the other housemates; Aina picked Alex, Joshua picked Loisa, and Ranty picked Jane.
Ranty was the first to get the key, but he did not open his cell and gave way to Joshua to gain the Insta Save. Joshua was then removed from the list of nominees.
The housemates should accept all challenges given to them by Big Brother and they can say "No" only for a maximum of three times. It was judged by Joshua, who was also tanned by the girls. Nichole, Fourth, Maris, Jayme, and Ranty were offered a "special breakfast" on Day 38, which were actually fried frogs and silkworms. Nichole was the only one of them to say "No".
Ranty later brought out of the storage room the silkworms, which everyone had eaten. She initially said "Yes", and chose Ranty, Michele, and Daniel to join her. But after Jayme heard his father's opinion and shared it to the other three, they all said "No". A problem arose with the cheese in the House on Day As the supply of cheese was about to disappear, someone opened another bottle of cheese.
Some argumentations occurred regarding this. All housemates talked in the living room the next day about two issues; resolving the cheese problem and cleanliness of the windows and the bathroom.
The latter sparked an argument between Aina and Fifth after the latter became irritated of how Aina told her opinion. Alex, Fifth, and Manolo later, opened up an investigation, after which they deduced the suspects to be Jayme, Michele, and Aina.
Fourth and Fifth accepted to have a time to bond with each other in the storage room; this allowed them to share their thoughts with one another.
However, this caused them to get drunk. The housemates decided on Day 41 if they want Alex to exit the house. Alex herself wanted to stay inside the House, and she felt that the housemates will want her to stay.
But the housemates' decision was part of the weekly task. The teens and the elderly housemates decided not to evict Alex from the house. Alex will remain in the house, but their weekly task failed. They were given 10 seconds to bring his or her chosen housemate to the confession room. Once they are inside the confession room, they are required to wear a friendship bracelet. The bracelets were removed after all of them, except for Loisa who was sick, have removed thousands of domino bricks in the pool for 20 minutes.
In the afternoon, Big Brother gave the weekly task wherein they need to create an artwork that depicts the Philippine flag and the word "Philippines" using the dominoes they collected from the "best friend task".
Aired live that night, Big Brother announced the All Out twist wherein they will participate in several challenges in order to save themselves from receiving an automatic nomination. They faced their first challenge after the announcement.
As advised by the show's medical team, Loisa was again not allowed to participate in the challenge due to fever. The first challenge was won by Nichole, earning her an immunity for that week.
On Day 45, Loisa was cleared of her sickness and joined the second All Out challenge. Nichole and Alex did not take part in it.

In this second challenge, each team has to make the longest possible vertical line in the picnic area. Maris, Vickie, and Daniel won the challenge, with their tower measuring Middle of Alex's task, Zanjoe Marudo and Pokwang visited the housemates. Meanwhile, the remaining non-immune housemates faced their third and last challenge. They were tasked to pass a pingpong ball through an obstacle course. The first to do it were Fifth, Fourth, and Manolo finishing the challenge within 2 minutes and 38 seconds.
Jane, Jayme, and Joshua were the second group to do the challenge; they failed to beat the time of the first group. They were also the first three housemates to be automatically nominated.
The last group, composed of Loisa, Michele, and Ranty, followed.
They were also unable to beat the first group's time indicating that they were the last three housemates to be automatically nominated. The two of them divulged this to the other housemates; they also told their plan of holding a party for her. They thought of not noticing Alex the next day. For two days, the housemates ignored Alex; with this they were able to get the send-off party for her at the picnic area the next day.
Meanwhile, Ranty, Loisa, and Jane were tasked to sit on each of their own islands in the swimming pool the next day. They are not allowed to leave this island and only Alex can deliver them their needs. Only the three of them will be allowed to communicate with Alex. Later that night, they used only one of the islands, but due to heavy rains that night, they were allowed to step off the island. They were later transferred to the activity area. After the roof was completed, they were transferred back to the island.
Alex was given time the next day to "rescue" the three housemates using a life saver within one minute; she was successful. Meanwhile, many of the dominoes have fallen and the other housemates had to exert extra effort to complete the artwork. Many of these have been caused by mishandling some dominoes, which, when fall, caused the succeeding dominoes to fall also. In the evening of Day 48, to finish the weekly task, they were tasked to do a domino fall; they failed to finish the task after three chances.
In the live episode aired on Day 49, Alex exited the house. Big Brother also asked the both of them separately on what their true feelings are. On Day 52, Big Brother gave the housemates their weekly task. While doing their weekly task, Bea Alonzo and Paulo Avelino visited the house to distract them.
She was tasked to know the housemates inside a specially made "elevator". Unknown to her, the task was a test of their Freeze task. In the middle of their ballroom practice and while they were not moving, Geo Garcia, Joshua's father, visited the house.
The contents of the letter were not disclosed for privacy reasons. On Day 55, Ranty and Vickie were tasked to teach the housemates about beauty pageants, as the two of them are products of the same.
However, in a twist, all housemates had to cross-dress for the pageant, with males to be taught by Vickie and females by Ranty. Ranty and Vickie will be the judges. Big Brother also told the both of them that he will let two photographers document the said event. Unknown to the housemates and most especially to Ranty, one of the photographers is her mother, Lydia.
Michele and Joshua won the pageant for the males and females respectively as their alter egos Michael and Josie. At the end of the event, Big Brother froze the housemates. Seizing the moment and as instructed by Big Brother, Ranty's mom revealed herself. She was able to talk with the housemates while they were frozen.
Later that night, Ranty was the first housemate to be evicted for the All Out twist. As part of the All In Nominations, all housemates who received a nomination point regardless of the number of points received will be automatically be part of the nominees.
The Insta Save was again implemented this week with the non-nominated housemates helping the nominees. Non-nominees were required to pick the nominated housemates they would want to help by kicking a football into a 'goal' placed for each of the six nominees.
Only Jane had no partner. In the Insta Save challenges, under one hour, each pairs had to shoot a table tennis ball to their partners, thread a table of needles, and form the 'SAVE' word using puzzle pieces. The first to complete, or the first to be able to do the challenges within the allotted time wins the Insta Save.
In the end, Jane won. Daniel was assigned as their leader. The next days were spent on practicing the dance routine. One time, they put the football in the goal. However, these resulted in muscle pains in their feet. On Day 62, they performed the routine in the picnic area. They were given five chances to perform the routine, however, they failed after five attempts. So for the fourth straight week, the housemates failed their weekly task.
Maris Racal
On Day 63, Joshua and Loisa were saved from eviction. In the weekly task, they were tasked to teach 5 kids an action song they have created. In their task, the four housemates had to bike for laps in order for Cheridel to see his son. On that night, Cheridel's status was revealed.
Big Brother told Cheridel that she was only a houseguest. However, her status can only be elevated to "official housemate" if ever they will win the weekly task under her leadership. Cheridel was able to see her son on Day 69 after Daniel, Loisa, Manolo and Vickie won the special task. On the same day, the housemates together with kids performed for their weekly task; they were successful. With their victory, Cheridel became an official housemate. The housemates were put into pairs to go against each other: Cheridel, Vickie, Fourth, Joshua, and fifth won the challenge.
On Day 70, In the second challenge they had to put their pants on without their hands. Maris, Loisa, Fourth, Joshua, and Fifth won the challenge. In the third challenge, they had to solve a puzzle, similar to the mobile game Unblock Me. Fifth received immunity for winning 3 times, while Jane became the first nominee.
Maris, Fourth and Joshua both received immunity after gaining three points, while Daniel, Manolo and Cheridel became the second, third and fourth nominees respectively.
In the fifth challenge, the housemates must find among several bags hanging inside the activity area just using their sense of smell. The one who will identify the correct bags fastest will win the challenge. In the end, Vickie won the challenge and received immunity, while Loisa became the last nominee. The Pagotan twins took the helm as leaders of each group. The housemates were prohibited from talking to the other group or crossing the border. On the same day, the housemates were informed of their weekly task, Twin or Lose.
On Day 72, Joshua was punished to sleep for 24 hours and was not allowed to take a peek, open his eyes, and talk to the housemates due to various violations he incurred during the previous weeks.
On Day 75, Fourth and Fifth's mother, Gloria, visited the house. With her visit, the two and six other housemates were blindfolded while dancing; Daniel and Manolo were spared in order to help Gloria in her task.
After that, in the activity area, the twins were tasked to scrub off a dirty board using two toothbrushes. They were able to do a Skype video call with their mother, who was pretending to be in Japan. After the video call, Gloria went out to the activity area meeting her two sons. On Day 77, it was announced that they failed their weekly task. On that night, Jane and Loisa were saved from being evicted.
Cheridel, Daniel, and Manolo on the other hand were called by Big Brother to the confession room. They were informed that, between the three of them, the evicted housemate will have the power to save and automatically nominate a housemate.
If they were able to relay the message to the all the housemates correctly, the barrier within the house will be removed. The last housemate should be able to say the correct message; they were successful.
The barrier was removed, which also meant that the two groups are again fused into one. Week 12 On Day 78, Cheridel, Daniel, and Manolo voted for whom they will save and automatically nominate. At the live eviction night, Cheridel was evicted. To facilitate the announcements, John Prats and Robi Domingo delivered the corresponding envelopes to them.
Afterwards, John and Robi were instructed by Big Brother to the confession room and informed them that they will stay in the Big Brother house once more in order to challenge the characters of the remaining housemates.
For the first challenge, one housemate has to traverse a path to the center of the activity center while balancing a flag. They are only given five times to try the challenge; the housemate with the fastest time wins immunity. In the event that the all housemates failed to finish the challenge, the housemate with the farthest reach wins immunity.
Daniel and Joshua were the only housemates who finished the challenge; however, since Daniel has the fastest time, he won the immunity. After the challenge, Big Brother gathered the housemates in the living room, where a big stone was placed. Big Brother asked who are two of them that are tough enough for this week's challenges.
Joshua and Fourth stood up and placed their hands in the stone and picked a number. Joshua got 1; while Fourth got 2. Joshua and Fourth chose their teammates alternately; Joshua was first. The team who will finish the three challenges faster will receive immunity. At the end of three challenges, Team Joshua won immunity; the other received automatic nomination. They have to choose between good news or bad news. In the morning of Day 80, Jane was tasked to be the breadwinner of the weekly task.
In the afternoon, Robi and John were instructed by Big Brother to leave the house, ending their special task as houseguests. On the other hand, Fifth was affected with the public's comments regarding his sexuality.
He later disclosed his sexuality ; he told Big Brother that he is a bisexual. In the evening, Fifth and Loisa were saved from the eviction.
Week 13 On Day 85, Fourth was evicted after receiving the least percentage of public votes. Later, on an undisclosed day, Maris was informed that she will perform with her family. But first, in a special task, she must attached strings to a big guitar in the activity area. Each string attached would mean one of her family members will be performing with her; she was able to attach two.
Daniel helped her and attached one more string. On Day 87, Jane celebrated her debut. Unknown to her, her housemates have done several tasks in the previous week in order to have a debut party for her. After the surprise from the housemates, Big Brother gave Jane a surprise debut party with her family, close friends and housemates.
On Day 91, the housemates performed their production numbers and were judged by Jason GainzaEnchong Deeand Erich Gonzales ; they were successful. Also, Maris was able to perform with her parents and her younger sister; they were later given a second encounter by Big Brother. However, they have the chance to nominate-to-save other housemates or not to save anyone at all. Being voted by none, Fifth, Jane and Joshua were nominated. On Day 98, Fifth was evicted after receiving the fewest votes.

T-Mobil is blackmailed by a hacker
24. August 2021	0	By Horst Buchwald
Bonn, Aug. 24, 2021
T-Mobile has launched an investigation after a Vice report over the weekend claimed a hacker gained access to the personal data of 100 million customers. The data includes names, phone numbers, addresses and Social Security numbers.
The hacker demanded six bitcoin ($272,000) in exchange for a subset of 30 million customer records. The hacker plans to sell the rest of the data privately.
T-Mobile has experienced at least one data breach every year since 2018. In 2018, hackers accessed the names, email addresses and phone numbers of 2 million customers. The following year, another 1 million customers were affected by a similar data breach.

Q: What is the meaning of "sum product" as mentioned in Numpy documentation? In the NumPy v1.15 Reference Guide, the documentation for numpy.dot uses the concept of "sum product".
Namely, we read the following:

*

*If a is an N-D array and b is a 1-D array, it is a sum product over the last axis of a and b.

*If a is an N-D array and b is an M-D array (where M>=2), it is a sum product over the last axis of a and the second-to-last axis of b:
dot(a, b)[i,j,k,m] = sum(a[i,j,:] * b[k,:,m])

What is the definition for this "sum product" concept?
(Couldn't find such a definition on Wikipedia, for example.)

A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication
That is, the entry c[i,j] of the product is obtained by multiplying
term-by-term the entries of the ith row of A and the jth column of B,
and summing these m products. In other words, c[i,j] is the dot product
of the ith row of A and the jth column of B.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_product
Algebraically, the dot product is the sum of the products of the
corresponding entries of the two sequences of numbers.

In early math classes did you learn to take the matrix product, by running one finger across the rows of A and down the columns of B, mulitplying pairs of numbers and summing them?  That motion is part of my intuition of how that product is taken.

For the 1d second argument case, np.dot and np.matmul produce the same thing, but describe the action differently:

*

*If a is an N-D array and b is a 1-D array, it is a sum product over
the last axis of a and b.

*If the second argument is 1-D, it is promoted to a matrix by
appending a 1 to its dimensions. After matrix multiplication
the appended 1 is removed.
In [103]: np.dot([[1,2],[3,4]], [1,2])
Out[103]: array([ 5, 11])
In [104]: np.matmul([[1,2],[3,4]], [1,2])
Out[104]: array([ 5, 11])
Appending the dimension to B, does:
In [105]: np.matmul([[1,2],[3,4]], [[1],[2]])
Out[105]:
array([[ 5],
       [11]])

This last is a (2,2) with (2,1) => (2,1)
Sometimes it is clearer to express the action in einsum terms:
In [107]: np.einsum('ij,j->i', [[1,2],[3,4]], [1,2])
Out[107]: array([ 5, 11])

j, the last axis of both arrays is the one that gets 'summed'.

A: For Numpy, "sum product" means "matrix multiplication". Not to confuse with SUMPRODUCT and MMULT functions in Excel, which have different meanings.

« God help Glasgow
Old habits, comrade »
Also in the Running
Posted by Guest Blog in Holyrood | 10 Comments
Another guestpost from the fabulous and multi-talented Kirsty Connell, a former Labour candidate.  Thanks Kirsty!
Now the Scottish Labour Party has new structures to start to play with, the next stage for its political rehabilitation is the biggie: choosing a new leader, one able to work with new powers and a base far beyond what their predecessors enjoyed.
A candidate to take on the might of Salmond and his SNP majority, and to galvanise and rebuild the Labour movement in Scotland, against the forces of Independence and Conservatism. A tall order. Too tall for Tom, certainly. But too tall for even this post to attempt.
Like back in 2007, however, far more can be garnered about the state of the Labour Party from looking to those manoeuvring in what is deemed the lesser race.
With Brown back then as the only candidate for leader, the party was left to exorcise some of its Blair-era demons with the Deputy Leadership campaigns, albeit beneath the behemoth of Brown's inevitable leadership juggernaut. From Jon Cruddas on the working left to Hazel Blears for the Blairites, Hilary Benn for the intellectuals and Alan Johnson for the moderates, to the eventual Unite-backed victor Harriet Harman and Peter Hain for – well, it's a broad church – the party could test some new directions and try on some old and new policies for size, before plumping for the counterpoint to Brown who held the traditional backing.
With current deputy Johann Lamont to officially announce her candidacy by the end of September, the Deputy Leader of the Scottish Labour Party position will presumably be vacant and thus contested. As back in 2007, the three likely sections of the party where the candidates could emerge from will show far more about Scottish Labour than the leadership contest itself.
Much like the probable eventual leader, the first constituency where the Deputy Leader could appear is from within the Holyrood parliamentary party, first elected pre-2011. Whoever it is, they'll be described as a 'safe pair of hands', a 'known quantity', probably with the gravitas of having served as a Minister in a previous parliament and almost certainly with a safe seat, safe being frankly any constituency Labour still holds in Scotland.
Electing this candidate as Deputy Leader would be undoubtedly the safest choice for Scottish Labour, resorting to small steps instead of giant strides in progress back towards electability. Any candidate fitting this mould would have to be asked why they weren't, given their experience, standing for Leader itself. Awkward. With Scottish Labour electing its leadership team from within this scion it will need a lightning bolt of Frankenstein proportions to revitalise the beast.
The second likely constituency for a Deputy Leader candidate is again from the Holyrood party, but elected in 2011. More daring, more exciting, more willing to embrace change and not rely on what went before, but the pressure on any individual, if elected as the heir-presumptive, could kill a fledging career. Scottish Labour probably can't afford any more sacrifices this term.
Of course, one candidate for Deputy Leader is very openly being speculated upon, and his position, as a new-ish Scottish Labour MP would help embrace the new structures, while releasing some the pressure from Holyrood as it wrenches itself through the reforms. It also helps that Anas Sarwar is bright, articulate, capable and quite photogenic (although not as photogenic as Humza Yousaf, memo to Daily Express...).
Given the need for reforms to percolate through the party conferences, the new leader won't be elected until December. An ongoing game then, but don't forget to keep half an eye on what's going on on the sidelines.

The one thing I didn't discover from the published parts of the Murphy-Boyack review is whether the new Labour regional manager in Scotland will have authority over the MP's and MEP's in Scotland and where that new manger will stand within the power structures of the Labour party.
The problem for both of the prospective new Labour and Conservative Scottish managers as they continue to defend the British Establishment against the SNP will be that neither will be party leader like Salmond with a control of both their party policy and all party members. They will be handicapped by being regional managers up against a party leader.
Unless of course Murdo manages to get his own new party started.

The new Scottish Labour leader will be in charge of Labour in Scotland. Not Labour in the Scottish Parliament. That includes policy making, MPs etc etc
#3 by DougtheDug on September 21, 2011 - 10:44 am
That includes policy making, MPs etc etc
That's interesting. Can you point me to where the review says that the new Labour manager will have control over the MP's and MEP's?
#4 by Doug Daniel on September 21, 2011 - 11:22 am
So if Miliband adopts a UK policy that is completely at odds with Scotland's needs, the Leader of Labour in Scotland will instruct the Scottish MPs not to help push the policy through, even going as far as to support the Tories/Lib Dems if their position is more in line with Scotland's needs?
Aye, right.
"Unless of course Murdo manages to get his own new party started"
For some reason, that makes me think of Murdo bursting into the Holyrood chamber, brandishing a couple of bottles of vodka and shouting "YEAH!!! Let's get this party started!!!!"
Unfortunately for Murdo I think the Conservative bouncers will eject him fairly quickly and the Conservative members will return to their tea and biscuits, almost like a mirror image of the coming Conservative party election.

The main problem I potentially foresee Kirsty is that, depending on timings, if Labour pick an MP as leader then they will pick an MSP as deputy, and possibly vice versa.
So rather than the deputy leader being an indication as to who the leader will be, they may end up acting as a counterbalance and, arguably, undermining their own position.
That said, I don't know when the timings are and if the election of leader and deputy are held at the same time then I definitely agree that, all things being equal, the selection of the deputy will show what appetite of risk Scottish Labour members currently hold.
I personally like the daring involved in elevating a 2011 MSP to the role of deputy. I'm not really in a position to suggest a name though.
(Thanks for the post!)
…if Labour pick an MP as leader then they will pick an MSP as deputy, and possibly vice versa. So rather than the deputy leader being an indication as to who the leader will be, they may end up acting as a counterbalance and, arguably, undermining their own position.
I don't really see the logic to this one because it's not clear from the review what the scope of the new position will be in terms of authority within the party and that will have a bearing on whether they need to pick an MP to be in or out as manager or deputy manager.
The Murphy-Boyack review says that they willl, "create, for the first time, an elected Leader of the Scottish Labour Party", but since there is no separate Scottish Labour Party already in existence then the manager will be the manager of whatever the review determines and that is not clear. Are the MP's and MEP's under the authority of the new manager? It's also not clear what authority the new manager will have over councillors.
To be quite honest it may not matter too much because though Willie Rennie is the official regional manager for the Lib-Dems in Scotland with nominal authority over all Lib-Dems in Scotland his actual authority over the Lib-Dem MP's is nil.
If anyone says that Willie Rennie can order the MP's Michael Moore or Danny Alexander about I'll take the bottle off them and lead them to a quiet room where they can sober up.
"rebuild the Labour movement in Scotland, against the forces of Independence and Conservatism."
Well if that's the remit, then you've lost before you've already started. The SNP has succeeded by making itself attractive to independence and non-independence supporters alike. If anti-independence is to be one of the defining features of Labour, then straight away you've lost 30%+ of the electorate. This just screams negativity – what about rebuilding the Labour movement in Scotland FOR something, rather than just AGAINST things?
At least the review has confirmed that whoever becomes leader will have to try to get an MSP seat in the next parliament if they're not an MSP already. However, it remains to be seen if an MP would truly have the autonomy (never mind the will) to disagree with Ed Miliband when Scottish interests are out of sync with UK interests.
As for an MP becoming Depute Leader, it seems a bit pointless. I know it's what the Lib Dems have done recently, but can anyone remember Jo Swinson doing anything of note in that role? The Salmond/Sturgeon model worked (MP as Leader, Depute as acting leader in Holyrood), but the other way round seems silly. Also, imagine this – both being MPs, requiring a THIRD person to act as spokesperson in Holyrood. That would be a farce.
I'll keep my opinions of my former MP, Anas Sawar, to myself for the moment…

…against the forces of Independence and Conservatism. A tall order.
Trying to find any middle ground between these two entrenched positions is indeed a tall order. Unfortunately Labour have been tending towards the latter, purely as a reaction to the former.

Georgia Tech women's hoops: Three assistants, one staffer fired after MaChelle Joseph probe
Every player interviewed claimed Joseph, the Yellow Jackets' women's coach of 16 years, was "emotionally, mentally and verbally abusive."
Author: Jay Clemons
Published: 8:15 PM EDT March 26, 2019
Updated: 8:15 PM EDT March 26, 2019
ATLANTA — The major changes surrounding the Georgia Tech women's basketball program didn't end with head coach MaChelle Joseph getting fired.
On Tuesday night, the school also dismissed assistants Mark Simons (acting head coach), Sasha Palmer and Jonneshia Pineda from the program.
For his subsequent teleconference with the media, Georgia Tech athletics director Dr. Todd Stansbury also announced that team psychologist Dr. Belen Gutter had been removed from any future association with the women's team.
Dr. Gutter was prominently mentioned in the release of the independent investigative report on Joseph, which 11Alive News acquired on Tuesday, via the Open Records Act.
Here are the biggest takeaways from this lengthy report, provided in verbatim excerpts.
Georgia Tech fires women's basketball coach after independent investigation findings
SUMMARY: The most troubling takeaways from the MaChelle Joseph investigation at Georgia Tech
Regarding the Tuesday timeline, Dr. Stansbury met with Coach Joseph at noon Tuesday to inform her of the dismissal.
Without going into much detail, the AD referred to the encounter as a "short, professional meeting."
At approximately 1:30 p.m., Stansbury met with the women's basketball team.
It's worth noting that the meeting garnered 100 percent attendance among the players -- despite whispers of some forthcoming transfers, according to Stansbury.
Regarding the allegation from the Joseph camp (the coach and attorney Lisa Banks) of Tuesday's firing being about gender and equality discrimination, Stansbury said that was "absolutely not true."
In his final determination, Stansbury said he "had no choice but to dismiss" Joseph, the Yellow Jackets' head coach of the last 16 seasons.
STATEMENT FROM ATTORNEY LISA BANKS
"As parts of this 'confidential report' regarding MaChelle Joseph are inevitably leaked, be careful not to believe everything you read or everything the school is saying. We are confident the truth will emerge and Coach Joseph will be fully vindicated."

Thomas Henry Thrower (28 June 1870 – 21 June 1917) was an Australian politician. He was an Australian Labor Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1904 to 1907 and 1910 to 1917, representing the electorate of Macquarie.

Early life and career

Thrower was born in Surry Hills in Sydney and was raised in the Shoalhaven district on the South Coast before returning to Sydney to attend high school. He intended to study law, but due to his family's financial situation instead apprenticed as a furniture and cabinet maker. He joined the Furniture Trades Union, and served as its president for several years. In 1888, while still an apprentice, he was elected as a delegate to the Trades and Labour Council of Sydney and served on its executive and parliamentary committees through the 1890 maritime strike and the 1892 Broken Hill strike. In 1900, when the council reformed as the Sydney Labour Council, he was elected as its president and served until 1902, when the council decided to establish a paid secretary role and appointed Thrower to the position; in this capacity, he represented 77 unions and over 45,000 workers. As a unionist, he was an outspoken opponent of Chinese labour and business, especially in the cabinetmaking and grocery businesses. In 1902, he represented the New South Wales unions at the first Commonwealth Trade Union Congress. He was also a member of the Citizen's Relief (Lord Mayor's) Fund Committee, the union representative on the Commonwealth Celebrations Committee and a long-standing secretary of the Eight Hour Day committee. He was an unsuccessful Labor candidate at the 1903 Tamworth state by-election and the 1903 federal election in East Sydney.

State politics

He was elected to the Legislative Assembly at the 1904 state election for Macquarie, at which time he resigned as Labour Council secretary. However, he was defeated by 65 votes at the 1907 election by Liberal candidate Charles Barton. He then served as secretary of the Dubbo and Gilgandra-based Western Timber Getters Association and its successor the Western Timber Cutters and Carters Association from 1907 to 1910.

Thrower won his old seat back at the 1910 state election at which Barton retired, and was narrowly re-elected in the marginal seat in 1913 and 1917. He was chairman of committees from March 1914 to February 1917 and was well-regarded in the role, as of result of which he had been touted as a potential future Speaker. As the local MP, he was largely responsible for the substantial extension of the Dubbo Hospital, improvements to the Dubbo Public School and the establishment of the Dubbo High School and was a strong advocate for the construction of the Molong–Dubbo railway line. He became ill in September 1916 with what was described as Bright's disease, spending long periods in hospital and physically struggling during the 1917 election campaign. He died at Redfern in June 1917 aged only 47, only three months after his re-election. He was buried in the Roman Catholic section of the Waverley Cemetery.

He married Catherine Newman around 1900, and they had five children.

UOG students urged to take advantage of financing
Gerry Partido
Senator Amanda Shelton (file photo)
With tuition fees rising at the University of Guam, the chair of the Legislature's higher education committee wants to increase awareness of the many financing options that students have available for them.
Sen. Amanda Shelton, in an interview with the Patti Arroyo show on NewsTalk K57, said not too many students are aware of their financing options.
She said this is the reason she filed Bill 220 which would require Guam public high school seniors to fill out the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA).
"Students can fill this out before they graduate high school. This would make it an opt-out option instead of opt-in," Shelton said.
She added that for those students who think they can't afford college, knowing about the financing options can help them realize that college could be possible for them.
As reported in the 2018-2019 UOG Factbook, sixty-five percent (65%) of the total financial aid awarded to students received aid from federal sources.
And of that number fifty-eight percent (58%) received aid from the federal Pell Grant.

Home/Оther/A Group of Bidders Seeks to Buy the Constitution with Crypto
A Group of Bidders Seeks to Buy the Constitution with Crypto
A group of crypto fans are getting together to bid on a first edition copy of the U.S. Constitution.
Buying the Constitution with Crypto… Can It Be Done?
The group – which calls itself Constitution DAO – has allegedly raised more than $32 million in crypto funds from anonymous donors in under seven days. Apparently, they really want to purchase a piece of American history. At this stage, enough money has been raised that the individuals can compete with the heavy bidders they are likely to be up against.
Writing about the situation, one of the donors explained:
Crypto will allow the US Constitution to fulfill its original mission! Freedom!
This person ultimately donated approximately $400 in Ethereum funds to the cause. The auction was set to occur on Thursday, November 18 in New York at 6:30pm. Live Bitcoin News will unveil later if the team has won or not.
It was initially believed that the document would fetch somewhere in the $20 million range. However, the organization has clearly raised more than that, which puts it in a good spot to take the bidding lead. A representative of the group – which is still looking to raise additional funds – says that garnering as much as $40 million would give it a "great chance of winning."
The U.S. Constitution was written in 1787. America was a new country, and – eager to cement its position in the world and escape British rule once and for all – it wrote out a list of rules, regulations, and principles that the American people continue to follow today.
As many as 500 copies were initially printed when it was first written over 230 years ago, and this example up for bid is just one of 13 that are still believed to remain intact. For many years, it was in the hands of a private collector, but now one stands to gain something huge in purchasing the framework for America's democratic policies.
Graham Novak – an associate at a venture firm – is one of the financial contributors to the group. He says this is all part of a blockchain-based experiment to shut out those who can move ahead in life simply because they have financial stability and wealth. He comments:
What we're trying now is the great decentralized blockchain experiment. Who else is going to buy this? A super-wealthy person who just puts it in a collection in their basement?
This copy of the Constitution first went up for sale in the year 1988. It was purchased by real estate developer S. Howard Goldman at an auction, and he and his wife displayed the item publicly throughout the years.
Keeping the Document Safe
On its website, the crypto bidding group offers the following reassurance:
None of the core contributors wish to physically alter The Constitution in any way and are committed to its safety and security.

If I was going to make a list of my all-time favorite sci-fi movies, on that list would have to be Ridley's Scott's 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner. As I mentioned in a previous missive, the film made quite an impression on me as a young man.
I first saw it at a screening in San Diego in May of 1992, after having won tickets from a local radio station, and was treated to a version somewhat different from the finished product released to theaters the following month. It was an amazing experience.
I've watched it many time since that day and each time I enjoy it more. It's definitely a movie worth seeing again and again.
Of course, not everyone has the time to watch entire movies. People have lives and schedules to keep. For those with limited free time, the Speedrun was invented.
Simply put, a Speedrun is an animated version of a popular film told in sixty seconds made by the talented folks at 1A4 Studio. This one is Blade Runner, as if you couldn't guess.
Enjoy. Oh, it has some adult language, so be advised it's probably NSFW.

Damien Gildea (n. 1969 o 1970) es un montañero y explorador antártico australiano que ha realizado numerosas escaladas en la Antártida, Nepal, Tíbet, Pakistán, Bolivia, Alaska y Nueva Zelanda, entre otros.

Montañismo
Entre otros picos antárticos, Gildea ha escalado los montes Vinson, Shinn, Craddock, Gardner, Bentley, Anderson (primera ascensión), Ryan, y varios más de los macizos Vinson y Craddock y el norte de la cordillera Sentinel entre 2001 y 2007, así como el monte Friesland y el monte Bowles en la isla Livingston en 2003. Los datos GPS de alta precisión obtenidos por su equipo se emplearon posteriormente en la cartografía estadounidense y búlgara.

Expediciones antárticas
La primera vez que Gildea fue a la Antártida fue en el año 2000, como guía para dos clientes de un operador turístico antártico. Uno de los clientes era el explorador ciego inglés Miles Hilton-Barber, que tuvo que volver antes de tiempo. Los otros dos llegaron al polo sur tras 61 días de travesía.

Después de este primer viaje, en marzo de 2001, Gildea partió de Ushuaia a bordo del barco ruso Grigori Mijéyev para emprender una nueva expedición antártica en que escaló seis cumbres.

En el mismo año 2001, con la financiación de la Fundación Omega, realizó otro viaje para estimar la altitud del monte Shinn y resolver la controversia acerca de si ese era el tercer pico más alto de la Antártida. Este viaje no tuvo éxito debido al riesgo de avalanchas, pero se volvió a intentar a finales de 2002, y esta vez con éxito: el monte Shinn, con 4661m de altitud, quedó confirmado como la tercera montaña más alta del continente austral.

Entre 2004 y 2005, junto con los chilenos Rodrigo Fica y Camilo Rada, emprendió la misión de escalar el Vinson y el mayor número posible de picos de la cordillera.
En 2012, Gildea dirigió un equipo encargado de seguir los pasos de Robert Falcon Scott para recaudar dinero para fines benéficos.

Durante sus expediciones antárticas, Gildea ha recopilado datos para su posterior análisis científicos.

Publicaciones
Gildea ha escrito los libros The Antarctic Mountaineering Chronology [«La cronología del montañismo antártico»] y Mountaineering in Antarctica: Climbing in the Frozen South [«El montañismo en la Antártida: escalar en el sur helado»].

En 2007 Gildea publicó el nuevo mapa topográfico 1: a todo color Vinson Massif & The Sentinel Range, que incluye numerosos elementos nombrados por el USGS.

Legado
El glaciar Gildea del macizo Craddock de la Antártida está nombrado así en su honor.

Funds expect subdued U.S. inflation, strong EM FX - Russell Investments survey
Reuters | Posted: March 23, 2021, 11:37 a.m. | Updated: March 23, 2021, 10:31 a.m. | 2 Min Read
LONDON (Reuters) - Fixed income managers expect the U.S. Treasury yield curve to steepen in the next 12 months and many anticipate inflation will remain subdued in a 1.8-2.4% range, a survey from Russell Investments showed on Tuesday.
Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields have risen over 70 basis points this year as investors bet on a strong economic recovery that will boost inflation. The U.S. Federal Reserve now targets an "average" of 2% inflation, instead of a fixed 2% goal, giving it more flexibility.
According to the Russell survey conducted in February, 76% of respondents expect U.S. inflation to hover between the Federal Reserve's target rate of 1.8-2.4%. Just 10% see a deflationary environment ahead, versus 21% in the previous quarter's survey.
Of the 50 bond and currency managers that responded to Russell's first-quarter survey, 57% expected the global economy to recover to pre-pandemic levels in 2022.
Bond and currency managers expected investment grade assets will offer the most attractive risk-adjusted returns in the next 12 months, favouring high-yield assets and emerging market local and hard currency debt.
The survey revealed a preference among money managers for the Brazilian real as the most attractive emerging market currency in the next 12 months. Almost 89% expected a positive performance from emerging market currencies.
The real has lost around 6% so far this year against the dollar, underperforming broader emerging currencies though they too are down 0.7% year-to-date.
Russell said 71% of managers expect emerging market FX implied volatility to rise in the next 12 months compared to 57% who predicted higher implied volatility for major currencies.
Investors appear to have become less bullish on the euro, which 61% of managers saw in a $1.21-$1.25 range. Russell's fourth-quarter 2020 survey showed 73% believed the single currency would trade between $1.21 and $1.30.
The euro was near $1.19 on Tuesday.

Educational Institute and CTHRC Reach Credential Recognition Agreement
The Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council (CTHRC) and the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (EI) are proud to announce a credential recognition agreement that will offer hotel administrators the opportunity to hold credentials from both organizations.
This is a ground-breaking credential recognition agreement between two organizations that provide world class training and professional certification for the industry in North America.
Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) May 10, 2014
The Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council (CTHRC) and the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (EI) are proud to announce a credential recognition agreement that will offer hotel administrators the opportunity to hold credentials from both organizations. This agreement is an excellent example of two national organizations working together to serve their sector and address the needs of the industry.
In Canada and internationally, the CTHRC offers the Certified Hotel General Manager (CHGM) credential through emerit, its training and certification brand. EI offers its Certified Hotel Administrator (CHA®) to hospitality professionals in the United States and around the world. Under the agreement, each organization recognizes the two credentials as equivalent, "testifying to a comparable degree of competency and knowledge of their holders."
More importantly, each organization has agreed to award their credential to individuals who hold the other organization's designation. This means that for only a small cost to cover administration of the credential, a hotel manager who has earned the CHGM credential will also be awarded the CHA credential, or vice versa. This will give top hospitality administrators the professional recognition they deserve across North America and around the world.
"The Hotel Association of Canada is very pleased that a GM achieving the CHGM credential in Canada is automatically eligible for the CHA designation in the United States and vice versa," said Tony Pollard, Hotel Association of Canada President. "This is a ground-breaking credential recognition agreement between two organizations that provide world class training and professional certification for the industry in North America. It is also an excellent example of international co-operation which benefits these highly skilled individuals and enhances recognition of their credentials around the world."
"The Council is very pleased with the cooperative effort in coming to this agreement," said Wendy Swedlove, CTHRC President. "It will serve industry professionals well in both countries, bringing more profile to these credentials which both attest to an individual's achievement of the highest level of competence in this profession."
"The content and the program requirements of the CHGM are consistent with those of the CHA, and it makes sense for our organizations to recognize the professionalism and dedication of the general managers and hotel executives who have earned either certification," said Robert L. Steele III, CHA, EI president. "This agreement is consistent with our company's efforts to work cooperatively with other organizations to advance the stature of the global hospitality industry."

Aug 1926 – A fond memory of Rudolph Valentino
Helen Smith, Des Moines was an ordinary girl that had an experience she will never forget. For the first time she traveled to New York City, on the same railroad as Rudolph Valentino in Aug 1926. Her first introduction was when he first seen her, he replied with an Italian accent "little Irish girl, what is your name"? She relied O'Shaughnessy. With that he smiled and replied, 'I like the name that was my former wife name before she was adopted by the Hudnuts". During our conversation "he spoke rather endearingly of his former wife. I'll always believe he was in love with her". She recalls only once during the entire trip did, he eat on the diner and no once did he go to the observation car. He hated the eyes of the staring public. "When a curious crowd would look at him with much the same look that a little boy gazed in on a caged animal. Valentino would remark 'in this work your soul is not your own, neither is your life".

4 Apr 1938 – Mystery of the Lucky Valentino ring
When the late Rudolph Valentino's effects were auctioned off in December 1926, items put on the block included emeralds, rubies, sapphires set in pins and rings and were valued by Executor George Ullman at $50,000. What happened to these jewels after their sale is not known today. But a simple silver ring, which may not even have belonged to Valentino, has helped keep alive the memory of the handsome Italian boy with the hypnotic smoldering eyes, who rose from sweeping out halls in new York to become a $1,000,000 a year movie star and to be known as the greatest lover of the screen before his untimely death at age 31. The modest silver band was found by movie starlet Rochelle Hudson in 1939, 13 years after Valentino's death. Miss Hudson were in the hills above Falcon Lair, the hill-top home occupied by Valentino at the peak of his fabulous career. The glint of a small object in the path caught her eye and she picked it up and saw it was tarnished. There was a brief speculation on how it happened to there. Without giving it further thought, Rochelle put the band in her picket and continued the hike. Later that day, Rochelle tossed the ring on her dressing table and forgot about it. It was found by a maid who cleaned it with silver polish. As the maid was rubbing the inside of the band, she gasped at the words began to be legible "Rudy Valentino 24". The maid excitedly showed the discovery to Miss Hudson. However, the actress was to young to have known much about the greatest of all movie screen lovers. She had seen only one of his pictures and could not remember the name. Rochelle ran the following ad in the classified section of the Los Angeles Examiner: "Ring found, man's bearing inscription "Rudy Valentino 24"if the mysterious veiled woman who has made an annual trip to Valentino's grave can identify herself, I will gladly make a present of the ring to her "BOX H9284". The news ad first appeared on Tuesday 5 December 1939 and ran for three days with no response. A reporter reading the ad, had given it additional publicity for a story in the news section of the paper. Miss Hudson was surprised. "I expected at least 50 people claimed to be the 'mystery' woman she said. "Even if there isn't such an actual person, at least I thought some of Rudy's admirers would tr to get the ring". A short time later, Rochelle gave the ring to a publicity man, Bev Barnett, who made further efforts to find the "woman in Black" without success. Giving up the search he put the ring in a dresser drawer, in his home. In Feb of 1940, Barnett's home was robbed, and the Valentino ring was among the missing things. The rings history began to get even more interesting from this time on. On 29 October 1940, a neighbor came to the home of Los Angeles Police Officer William F. Mollie and reported that someone was trying to break into her house. Molle went to investigate and in the rear of the house, he suddenly was fired upon by the bandit. The officer emptied his service revolver at the fleeing man and chased him down the street. Policeman Molle testified later "he ran right past my wife, Helen, who was standing on our front lawn. My gun was empty, so I couldn't have protected her. As I run past her, she handed me another gun. "I caught the man, shoved it in his back and he choked: don't shoot me anymore. I've got enough then he collapsed from two bullet wounds in the abdomen". The lone-wolf burglar, identified as James Willis, dd from his wounds. In his pockets, was a key which led officers to a warehouse in South Los Angeles and $75,000 in loot. Among it was the Valentino ring. Barnett went down and claimed the ring and recovered everything else that had been taken from his house. Thus, the silver band became known as the lucky ring. "if the ring hadn't shown up" said Barnett, "I wouldn't even have known that other stuff was there". Superstitious Hollywood always loves good luck trinkets. Some time later, Gene Autry was in a dispute with Republic Studio. He filed suit to break his contract. "How about that ring of Valentino's? he asked, the publicity man. "Let me wear it". Gene wore the ring during the first trial of his suit against the studio, which eventually resulted in his departure from Republic. After World War II the ring came into possession of Actor Robert Armstrong who eventually sent it to a Mrs. Cooper of Chicago, long a collector of Valentino relics. She in turn, sent it back to Hollywood to James Gleason following the death of his wife, Lucille. There is no great intrinsic value to the ring, and nobody knows if it is even an authentic souvenir of the screen's great lover. If it didn't belong to him, where did he get it? Did one of this wives or feminine admirers give it to him? Jean Acker his first wife, has said she knows nothing of it. But then the inscribed date, 24 was after their marriage had been broken up. Rudy married Winifred Hudnut known as Natacha Rambova in Mexicali, Mexico on 14 May 1922. A few days later, the famous bigamy charges hit the headlines because Valentino's divorce from Jean Acker was not due to be final, until 11 Mar 1923. The excitement died down when Valentino and his exotic bride said the would not live together in California until they could be remarried. They did go through with the second ceremony in Crowne Point, Indiana. This was in 1923. In 1924, the date on the ring, Rudy and Natacha were living in Whitley Heights, in the hills above Hollywood. Whether it ever belonged to him or not, the ring has done more to keep alive the memory of Valentino than any of his treasures that went under the auctions hammer. It probably will keep cropping up again as long as Hollywood believes in good luck

11 Nov 1945 – Suicide Attempt Bares Former Dancer Story of Secret Marriage to Valentino
From the shadow of death yesterday came a strange story of a 39 year old former Ziegfeld dancer she married Movie Sheik Rudolph Valentino a year before his death, bore him a daughter and lived in mystery for 20 years. During that time, it was said she paid annual visits to his grave as the legendary "Lady in Black". The story unfolded yesterday as a result of an asserted suicide attemp by Marion Wilson, glittering Broadway before she came to Hollywood in the history-making 1920's. It was told by Miss Wilson's third cousin Perry Combs of Hollywood. While Miss Wilson was in a Santa Monica Hospital suffering from the effects of an attempted overdose of sleeping pills Combs declared: "my cousin told me she and Valentino were married in 1925. She kept it a secret she feared news of the marriage might hurt Valentino as a romantic actor. "She became pregnanat and went abroad to have the baby a girl in either Italy or France. The baby was a girl, now about 19 or 20 years of age and has never been in the United States. Valentino setup a trust fund for her and she grew up with his sister. Combs said the daughter is now in London attempting permission to come to the United States to visit her mother. Although denying miss Wilson known on the stage as Marion Benda, ever married Valentino George Ullman, the former matinees idol manager and room mate at the time of his death in 1926, admitted Valentino and the stately beauty were friends. "Rudy dated her from time to time" said Ullman, "but I'm sure there was no marriage. As for her having a child by Rudy, there were 35 other women who advanced that claim after he died". Ullman said Valentino and Miss Wilson were out dancing together the night he was stricken with the illness that proved fatal and she was with him when he was put to bed for the last time. "I believe had Valentino married her Ullman said, "I occupying the position I did in his life would certainly have known of the event. He squired her about New York on a few occassions but their relationship was short and formal. Miss Wilson was married to Dr. Blake Watson in 1932, shortly after her divorce from Baron Von Boechlin a German. Released from the hospital late yesterday, Miss Wilson moved to a waiting automobile in a wheel chair and driven to an undisclosed location in North Hollywood. Although at first reluctant to discuss her claims to having been Valentino's wife, she finally declared "You can go to New Jersey and find out whether I was married to Valentino or not". Apparently on the verge of collapse Miss Wilson refused to name the city in which such proof might be found. She did, however deny being the "woman in black". There was never a "woman in black" she wearily declares "that was just a publicity stunt put on by the studio". Combs, who found Miss Wilson unconscious late Friday, said that during the week she had taken 68 sleeping pills. Friday he added she took 10 more and became despondent intimating she might commit suicide. Combs said he left Miss Wilson on an errand for her and when he returned found her lying on the floor and called police, six more capsules had disappeared from the bottle in his absence Combs said. At the time of Valentino's death, following production of his final movie "Son of the Shiek" Miss Wilson and her pseudo husband were planning for the future and were hoping he would retire in five years, Combs declared. He said Miss Wilson and the actor were married in France. But what happened to her declaration of look in New Jersey? No response. He said she adopted the stage name of Benda becase she once posed for the artist Wladyslav Benda creater of the famous Benda Mask. She and Valentino were introducted by Ben Ali Haken a Hollywood producer, Combs said. A woman who asked her name not be revealed said Miss Wilson told her Valentino and her had two children. One was a girl 20 years living with Valentino's sister in London and the Boy a 16 year old serving in the Italian Army.
