Friday Reads: Drive Away
You can live your life stuck in neutral... or you can find a new road.
by William Burpeau
Jack Lilly thought he would find his calling in college. Instead, he finds himself back in his hometown, selling cars at George Lyle's car dealership, trying to figure out what happened while trying to deal with quirky co-workers, a difficult boss, and temperamental customers. Then George's daughter, Lotus, joins the dealership.
Fresh from college and full of ideas, Lotus sees the potential in both the car dealership and the staff and she's determined to take things to the next level. What she doesn't realize is that there's another side to the man she calls her father: a side that George will no longer be able to keep hidden.
As Jack and Lotus navigate the colorful world of car dealerships and life choices, they find themselves facing the question: do you stay with the familiar? Or find a new road?
William Burpeau's first novel is a fast, fun read, filled with colorful characters, humorous situations, sweet romance, and a dual coming-of-age story. Jack and Lotus are two young people, struggling to find their way in the early nineties, and finding each other in the process. George Lyle, Lotus' father and chief antagonist, is a complex character: his insecurity and jealousy rule his life to the detriment of all his relationships, both business and personal. Burpeau's depiction of the tough life under an unpredictable and unfair boss is so real to life that I found myself flashing back to past experiences.
But the message of the story isn't a tale of revenge of the underlings, but rather the triumph of character (good character) and love over misery and small-mindedness. Jack and Lotus learn a lot over the course of the year, including when to stick things out - and when to simply drive away. Definitely recommended.

Rage Against The Dying Of The light, and The Rise of Alt-Right
On August 13, 2017 By The Existential Baker and The Existential's WifeIn Uncategorized
Moral outrage. A personal and emotional switch which turns on and off depending on what disgusts you. It is really simply your conscience expanding and retracting. Bigotry and racism has a way of flipping the switch in the blink of an eye. Both of those seeds grow crops of hatred which will only blossom into violence. In our country we have a long history of racism which today is growing like a cancer, quiet and deadly.
Last night was yet another example of what corrodes our shared values and increases the dividing rift further making us the Un-United States. But lets be serious here, if you find yourself unable to abhor and condemn any group which holds itself superior with a show of violence and force the likes of which we HAVE seen, and as a world united against to defeat, then you are not part of the problem, you are the entirety of the problem. Any asshole can hate and become violent, that's easy, but to truly believe in and strive for peace is a difficult and noble act which is far more gratifying in the long run. I watch various newscasts to get a large view of things and was very disturbed when one news network went on to say we need to stop categorizing each other in defense of the hate filled mobs, wondered why no one reported on the other sides violence, then categorized the liberal observers as leftists and blamed them for dividing out country.
Name calling should have been left on the playground somewhere around fourth grade. How we all react to these incidences will have a long reaching effect on the future because our children are watching and listening. It may seem they are not paying much attention, but any parent worth their title knows they are silent sponges always trying to process what's in front of them. Be the example you want to set and rage against racism, bigotry, sexism, and religious persecution in an honorable and respectful way.
As always sisters and brothers, Live and Love in Peace

Crop Trust Welcomes Tim Fischer as New Board Chair
Send Tweet Share Print
BONN, GERMANY, October 20, 2017 – Australia's Former Deputy Prime Minister, Timothy Andrew Fischer, has been named the next Executive Board Chair of the Crop Trust. Fischer will officially assume this new role on January 1, 2018.
Fischer replaces Ambassador Walter Fust, who was an early advocate for the establishment of the Crop Trust. Fust served on the Interim Panel of Eminent Experts, which acted as the interim Board of the Crop Trust prior to the establishment of the Executive Board in 2004. Fust was first elected to the Executive Board in 2010, and has been the Chairperson since 2013.
Walter Fust (left) and Tim Fischer (right) visited the Potato Park near Cuzco after the 2015 Crop Trust Executive Board meeting in March in Lima, Peru.
"We are excited to welcome Tim Fischer as our new Chair," Crop Trust Executive Director Marie Haga said. "During Tim's tenure as Vice-Chair of the Executive Board (2013–17), he demonstrated an unrelenting commitment to our mission: the conservation and use of the crop diversity that is a prerequisite for global food security."
"I congratulate Tim on his appointment and look forward to working with him to make sure that as a global community we safeguard the crop diversity needed to feed a growing world population under increasingly difficult weather conditions."
Fischer's background uniquely positions him to assume the post of the Crop Trust's third Executive Chair. He has 40 years of experience in politics and diplomacy in addition to a long-standing commitment to humanitarian causes. Fischer is and has been directly involved in agricultural affairs both globally and in his native Australia.
From 2008 to 2012, Fischer lived and worked in Rome as the first resident Australian Ambassador to the Holy See and as Special Envoy to Bhutan, Eritrea and South Sudan.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to influence and move forward the organization's current strategic plan, helping to guide the Crop Trust's future endeavors towards developing an efficient and effective global system for ex situ conservation," Fischer said.
"Making sure that diversity does not go extinct is a global obligation, but it is also personal. Biodiversity preservation means food security for our future and our children's children. It also means building more resilient food systems now, for the families across the globe facing food insecurity and hunger."
Fischer began his political career in 1971, after returning from deployment in Vietnam where he was as an officer in the Australian Army. Fischer was a New South Wales Parliamentarian (1971–1984), and later an Australian Parliamentarian (1984–2001). Throughout the 1990s, he was the head of the National Party of Australia. During this time he also served as Minister for Trade and Deputy Prime Minister in the Howard Government, holding both positions from 1996 to 1999. He then served as Chairman of the Crawford Fund (2001–2006), supporting international agricultural research. Fischer is also a consultant, author, broadcaster, and chairman of the company FAMU Holdings.
"The Crop Trust will miss the able leadership of Walter as Chairperson," Haga said. "I express the Crop Trust's deep appreciation to Walter for his amazing support throughout the lifetime of the organization."
"Walter has been a steadfast champion of the Crop Trust and of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It has indeed been an honor to work closely with him over the past five years. I am grateful for his dedication and service to our organization," Haga said.
"Walter's leadership has guided us at a time of transition, including the Crop Trust's move from Rome to Bonn, and the celebration of our 10th anniversary with a new logo and visual identity. More importantly, during his tenure, the Crop Trust has provided more than USD 100 million to ensure the conservation of crop diversity globally."
Fust has had a long career in politics, including a 15-year tenure as Director General of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). He also served as Secretary General of the Swiss Ministry of the Interior, and has held various mandates in the UN. Currently, in addition to his Crop Trust responsibilities, Fust serves on the Boards of The Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE) and the Coalition for a Dialogue on Africa, and pursues other philanthropic interests.
"Conserving crop diversity is one of the defining issues of our times," said Fust. "In the past two months the world witnessed the devastation of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. These hurricanes took many lives, and destroyed livelihoods, including those of many farming communities in the Americas. The Crop Trust's work goes beyond preservation for future catastrophe; crop diversity is needed today too, to help our agriculture adapt to a changing climate."

by Beth Woolsey - Beth, But Seriously - August 11, 2020
11 August 2020 — The COVID Diaries: Staying Sane in a Time That's Not
Here are the four things we're doing with our kids for school this year:
1. Trying not to stress the eff out.
2. Remembering there is no such thing as "getting behind" because a) "on track" is a manufactured and ever-changing target based on an imaginary student's potential for "success" in an outdated world, and b) EVERY student is currently affected by this crisis.
3. Prioritizing safety, kindness, health, and equity before academics.
4. Looking out for ALL the kids in our community, not just our own.
And here's how we're doing it, practically speaking:
1. Even though we've homeschooled for the past couple years — and even though folks with wealth and privilege are leaving public school in droves and turning to homeschooling and "pods" — we're doing the opposite. We're enrolling our kids in public school because public schools need to be well funded in order to serve the children who need it the most — those who experience disability, those who experience poverty, and those who are not safe at home. This is the time to be POURING INTO public schools and social support systems, not taking out. And while I don't fault ANY parent for pulling their kids in an attempt to ensure their students are properly educated and healthy, I also KNOW IN MY BONES that now is the time to be looking out for ALL the kids — especially the vulnerable kids — and not focusing on just mine.
2. We don't feel that in-person schooling is safe from a health perspective at this point in the COVID pandemic. At least not where we live. Not for the students, and especially not for the teachers. Fortunately, our state governor and school district agree. Since we haven't locally met benchmarks of lowering the infection rate to a point where there's low risk in opening in-person in some sort of reduced manner, our public district is offering two options — a) comprehensive distance learning (as differentiated from last spring's abrupt yet heroic "Hail Mary" attempt at distance learning), and b) a "hybrid online learning program blends online instruction and regular contact with highly qualified teachers while parents maintain a leadership role in their child's education…" in other words, online homeschooling with teacher help. We've selected option "b" which allows us to continue much of what we were already doing for our kids but puts funding back into public schools. Honestly, it's a hassle for us to do this — we have to figure out a whole new system of tracking and monitoring, my kids have to do extra check-ins with staff, we have to meet different standards — but that puts us in THE SAME BOAT as 99.99% of Everyone Else. We're all Doing New and Unexpected Things. Will it be a pain in the ass? Yep. It's ALL a pain in the ass right now. Would it be easier to just hunker down with our own program? Also yep, but that doesn't benefit others. I've already explained to my kids that they'll have extra tasks this school year in order to plug back into public school. And I will tell you the truth — they were NOT THRILLED with that news, but they also understand and agree it's the right choice.
3. We're working with our adult kids to create learning support for students in our community. They're calling these "Distance Learning Clubs" and they're a kind of anti-pod, or pod antidote. Limited to groups of 10 total, including 2 adult mentors, the clubs provide assistance for students to manage their distance learning. Not everyone has a parent or adult at home who can track what's needed to progress through an online school program — whether it's the homeschooling option or the one with way more teacher support. That's where our adult kids come in. Each club is 3.5 hours/week, uses masks and up-to-date health protocols including remaining outdoors as much as possible, and is open for anyone in the community to register at as low a cost as we can manage. They're raising funds to provide scholarships to students with self-identified financial need, and we're working with a guidance counselor at one of the local schools to identify students who might need that assistance and this program. To be honest, it's a lot of work and means quite a lot of sacrifice — it's a financial loss for us because we're subsidizing it, the adult kids will each receive a modest stipend, and it takes time and commitment to make it happen. But if we're going to make it though this situation — and if we care about having a healthy and safe community — we have to do this together, Ohana style. And in the immortal words from Lilo and Stitch, "Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten."
Listen, I feel for families right now as they try to make impossible choices. IMPOSSIBLE, imperfect, hard choices. And I'm not suggesting in any way that others should make exactly the same choices As us — there are infinite possibilities out there right now and infinite challenges. Every family's needs are different. Every student's, too. But I AM suggesting we can work hard at making choices that benefit more humans than just those we call our own.
Love to you and waving, waving in the dark,
P.S. Here's the system our adult kids have put together. I'm sharing it here so you can copy it if it meets your community's needs, because it's time to share ideas, not hoard them:
We're excited to offer this Distance Learning Club for students from 1st through 8th grades.
As students move from in-person models of learning to hybrid or distance learning, there is an increased need to learn time management skills, goal setting, how to keep a detailed assignment calendar, proactive communication, and more.
At a 4:1 student to adult ratio, in a group no larger than 10 total in keeping with State of Oregon public health recommendations, and with plenty of fresh air and breathing room, Distance Learning Club is offered in an open space with attentive adult mentors who can help students learn the skills to be successful in the new school model. You can choose which day you want to attend: Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays. Or register for more than one!
COST: Distance Learning Club is offered in 5 separate sessions — Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays — and costs $625 for Fall Semester. If preferred, payment can be made in 5 equal installments of $125 per month.
DAYS AND TIMES: Choose which day you want to attend: Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays. Or register for more than one! Distance Learning Club is offered weekdays, 8:00am-11:30am, during Fall Semester (September 8-January 29). Clubs will be open on public school conference and in-service days. Clubs will be closed during public school breaks and holidays. We follow the public school for inclement weather cancellation.
HEALTH PRECAUTIONS: We take the current global pandemic very seriously and will follow all public health requirements and recommendations from the State of Oregon. In addition to a limited group size — maximum 2 adults and 8 students — students and adult mentors are required to wear masks. Club will be held in a sheltered outdoor environment to allow fresh air flow. Propane heaters will provide warmth on cold days, and students will be asked to dress warmly. Restrooms and common areas are disinfected between groups. Each student will receive a temperature check upon arrival, and students with fevers, cold and flu, and/or coronavirus symptoms will be asked to remain home. These precautions reflect requirements and guidelines at the time of publication; we will update club members whenever there is a need to update these parameters in order to ensure ongoing compliance with public health authorities.
PLEASE PLAN TO BRING:
*Comfortable mask
*100+ page spiral notebook dedicated to Distance Learning Club for organizing assignments and communication with parents
*Electronic learning device provided by school district or parent (i.e. Chromebook) and associated passwords
*Any supplementary supplies required to complete distance learning assignments (i.e. notebooks, pencils, crayons, etc.)
*Clothes appropriate for staying cool or warm in an outdoor, sheltered location
*Snacks and filled water bottle
NOTE: We can also provide access to any of the items above if needed.
COVIDChronicles Yeah but are we there yet?

The Rest of 2014: Jane the Virgin [Review]
Posted on 26 December, 2014 2 May, 2018 AuthorHaley Winters
We're spending the month of December looking back at some of the great new releases that we missed out on reviewing earlier this year. This is The Rest of 2014.
In a lot of ways, 2014 has been a year of Very Important Television. There were shows like True Detective, which employed Hollywood heavy-hitters to deliver serious drama. There were much-anticipated superhero franchises like Gotham and Constantine, which lived up to or betrayed the expectations of fans, depending on who you ask. We had the socio-anthropological studiousness of Transparent, the despair of The Leftovers, the black humor of Fargo. In short, it's been a great year to be a television critic. But as we here at Deadshirt proudly publish our year-end lists and wrap up our last TV reviews, I can't help but feel I've dropped the ball as editor of this section. Because in truth, there is only one show that I've been watching live every week the year without fail, and I haven't so much as mentioned it. Maybe it's because it's seemed too lighthearted compared to some of the major drama of this season. Maybe it's because no one else seemed to be really paying attention to a rom-com on The CW. But it's time I righted my wrongdoing, and said this loud and clear: Jane the Virgin is the best thing to happen to television in 2014.
Most likely you've heard about Jane the Virgin in passing, maybe from a billboard, maybe from a Buzzfeed list you almost skimmed through before you were distracted by the 37 Cutest Puppies of 2014. You might know that it's one of the best critically reviewed shows of the season, but that it's plagued by dismally low viewership. Maybe you've been meaning to watch it, in a haphazard, half-hearted sort of way.
Get off your ass. Put on the first episode. Don't stop.
Justin Baldoni as Rafael and Gina Rodriguez as Jane.
Let's start with the basics of what makes this show work: the storytelling. Adapted from Venezuelan telenovela Juana La Virgen, the plot is as convoluted and topsy-turvy as you could expect from the genre. It's soap opera at its finest, full of scheming villains, scorned women, even an evil twin brother thrown in for good measure. The basic gist of it is this: Jane Villanueva, a 23-year-old Latina virgin, is accidentally inseminated by a distracted gynecologist. The baby's biological father is Rafael, who owns the hotel where Jane works and whom she's secretly crushed on for years–oh, and who Jane's detective fiancé, Michael, is investigating for murder. Oh, and the gynecologist is Rafael's sister. Oh, and Rafael's evil ex-wife Petra wants to claim the baby. OH, and Jane just discovered that her own biological father is the world's most famous telenovela star, played by real-life telenovela superstar Jaime Camil. Who is also dating her mother. OH, and–you know what, that's enough plot synopsis for this review. For now.
What makes Jane the Virgin brilliant–and on a more basic note, remotely accessible–is that no matter how far flung and fantastical the plot may become, the characters and their relationships are always deeply rooted in reality. Is Jane's virgin-motherhood ridiculous? Absolutely, but the way in which she reacts to her absurd situations is not. This is credited in part to a writing team that has a deep understanding of human interaction and emotion, and in even larger part to actress Gina Rodriguez, who is nothing short of stunning at every turn. Genuine, agile, and possessing of a radiant beauty that's just girl-next-door enough to be relatable instead of enviable, Rodriguez is without a doubt the breakout star of the year.
"Virgin" doesn't even begin to cover it.
With all of this plot to juggle, it is crucial for Jane to focus on its longform serial storytelling, and it manages this formidable task with a surprisingly light touch. It accomplishes this with the most tried and true of storytelling vehicles: a voiceover narrator. And no, it's not Jane, thank God–while she might have been the obvious choice, Carrie Bradshaw-esque musings would have pushed this show into intolerable chick-flick territory. No, we are treated instead to an omnipotent, omnipresent "Latin Lover," voiced by Anthony Mendez, whose commentary is both necessary and thoroughly enjoyable. His job is to remind of us not just of the various strands of plot, but of the emotional status of all of the characters, and he does so with infectious and comical enthusiasm. The "Latin Lover" trope does double duty, paying homage to the show's telenovela roots and exploiting and parodying its already trope-heavy formatting.
Jane the Virgin also makes excellent use of on-screen text, in some of the most seamless and intuitive visual displays since Sherlock pioneered the technique. Sometimes the text reflects non-verbal conversations onscreen, but more often it serves as extra meta-commentary, the Latin Lover's cheeky illustrative sidekick. Coupled with the production's sunny Miami palette of pastels and florals, the result is a whimsical visual dessert.
Of course, it's impossible to talk critically about Jane the Virgin without acknowledging that it is, at its core, 1. a show about Latin culture, and 2. a show about women. Our character centerpieces are the three women of Jane's family: Jane herself, her mother Xiomara (Andrea Navado), and her abuela Alba (Ivonne Coll). Between the three of them, they represent both the archetypes and the reality of the lives of Latin-American women. A majority of their in-conversations take place in Spanish with English subtitles, which is particularly notable for a network like The CW, for which this choice was certainly not without risk.
Andrea Navada, Gina Rodriguez, and Ivonne Coll make up the tri-generational Villanueva family.
Jane the Virgin is about a virgin, yes, but it is not about virginity, necessarily. It is about the cultural and religious experiences that lead one young woman to make a decision about her body that is decidedly against the grain. Jane is not preachy about her virginity, nor is she even particularly adamant about it–we almost lose it once or twice along the way. Nor is she ostracized for it: in fact, she's caught between two gorgeous men (Brett Dier as Michael and Justin Baldoni as Rafael). Despite it's title, this show is very sexual and very open about its sexuality, both in terms of its leading lady and the steaming side-doings of those around her. If you think "pregnant virgin" seems like a limiting plotline, don't worry: Jane the Virgin is stuffed with so many exciting social, cultural, religious, and sexual side alleys to explore, I can't imagine it will ever run out of stories to tell.
Jane the Virgin is frothy, it's light, it's full of love triangles and comical misunderstandings and on-screen hashtags, but it is also Very Fucking Good Television. Bring on the crazy, Jane the Virgin, and let's hope the world is smart enough to get on board.
Jane the Virgin returns from winter break on Monday, January 19th at 9pm/8c.

Q: Has anyone managed to extract a list of all Azure Active Directory users through Powershell within Azure Function App? I've a Powershell script (below) that extracts a list of 'AccountEnabled' Azure Active Directory (AAD) users (approx. 35k users and 13MB in file size) which runs fine on my local machine although it takes a while (approx. 10 minutes)
However, when I deploy the code to Azure Function App using Durable Functions (tried both Consumption & Premium EP1 Plan) and do a test run, it authenticates successfully but from the log, it keeps repeating "no traces within the x minutes". When I inspect the blob storage location where the file is meant to be exported to, the file size is initially around 1.4MB but after a few minutes it seems to get replaced with a file of 700kB size and then 0kB size which is weird. Left it running for hours and nothing happened.
I then modified the script to only list users where their UserPrincipalName starts with the letter 'a' and it ran fine on Azure Functions; i.e: exported approx. 3k users in about 2 minutes and the Azure Function log shows it ran successfully too.
I'm kinda new to Azure Function and not sure where's the bottleneck/issue so it will be much appreciated if someone can please shed some light on it. Thanks in advance.

A: Most likely, your function times out. Have you tried to configure functionTimeout?
If your code requires more than 60 minutes on Premium or more than 10 minutes on Consumption, and you can split processing into smaller parts (e.g. by the first letter), consider using Durable Functions: you can use either Function chaining or Fan out/fan in pattern. The timeout will be applied to each activity invocation individually, but the entire orchestration execution time is unlimited.
