Posted by Kath Carroll
About the Holiday
This month we celebrate the accomplishments of women in the past who have broken barriers and forged paths for today's women and who still inspire the leaders of tomorrow. To honor women this month, learn more about the influential woman in your own field or in areas you enjoy as hobbies and teach your children about the women who made incredible contributions to the world long ago and those who are changing the way we live today.
Maya Lin: Artist-Architect of Light and Lines
Written by Jeanne Walker Harvey | Illustrated by Dow Phumiruk
As a child, Maya Lin loved playing and interacting with nature near her home. She and her brother liked to run over what Maya had named "the Lizard's Back"—a hill behind her house—and into the woods. Sometimes Maya went into the woods alone and "sat as still as a statue, hoping to tame rabbits, raccoons, chipmunks, and squirrels." She liked to play chess with her brother and build towns from scraps of paper, boxes, books, and other things she found around the house.

Maya's "parents had fled China at a time when people were told what to be and how to think." They did not want the same for their children and always encouraged Maya to be and think what she wanted. Maya grew up surrounded by art. Her father worked with clay, and her mother was a poet. Maya also liked to make things with her hands. The beautiful library where she went to college inspired Maya to become an architect.
To learn about different buildings, Maya traveled all over the world. When she was only a senior in college, "Maya entered a contest to design a memorial to honor soldiers who died during the Vietnam War." The contest stated two rules: the memorial had to fit in with a park-like setting, and it had to include the 58,000 names of the soldiers who had died in the war. These rules resonated with Maya. She "believed that a name brings back all the memories of a person, more than a photo of a moment in time."
Maya visited the site where the memorial would be built. As she looked at the gently rolling hill, she envisioned a simple cut in the earth that would support a polished wall covered in names. Not only would the wall reflect those who died, but also those who came to visit and the surrounding nature. At school, Maya worked with mashed potatoes and then with clay to help her create the perfect monument. When she had finished her drawings and plans, she wrote an essay to accompany them. She wrote that her monument would be "a place to be experienced by walking down, then up past names that seemed to go on forever."
More than 1,400 artists and architects—many of them famous—entered the contest. The designs were hung in an airplane hangar anonymously for judging. Finally, the day came for the announcement of the winner. When the judges called out Maya Lin's name and she came forward, they were surprised to find that she was so young. Maya was excited to have won, but then some people began to object to her design. Some said her "design looked like a bat, a boomerang, a black gash of shame."
Maya was hurt by these comments, but she defended her design and, finally, it was approved. Maya worked with the architects and engineers who excavated the land and built the wall. As each granite panel was polished, engraved with the soldiers' names, and set in place, Maya looked on. The memorial opened on Veterans Day in 1982. Thousands of people came to see it and to find the names of loved ones they had lost. As Maya approached the wall, "she searched for the name of the father of a friend. When she touched the name, she cried, just as she knew others would." Every day since then visitors come to the wall to remember.
Maya Lin has gone on to design many more works of art and architecture that can be seen inside and outside. Each piece has a name and a particular vision. Maya wants people to interact with her art—to touch it; read, walk, or sit near it; or think about it. After each piece is finished, Maya thinks about her next work and how she can inspire the people who will see it.
An Author's Note about Maya Lin and the Vietnam War Memorial follows the text.
Jeanne Walker Harvey has written an inspiring biography of Maya Lin that reveals not only her creativity but the importance of creative freedom for children. Lin's confidence that led her to enter the contest and then defend her winning design will encourage readers to pursue their dreams. Harvey's lyrical storytelling reflects Maya Lin's quiet, introspective nature, the influences that nurtured her creative spirit, and her dedication to inviting others to be part of her art.
Dow Phumiruk's graceful, soft-hued illustrations allow children to follow Maya Lin as she grows from a girl discovering nature, constructing cardboard cities, and learning the arts from her parents to a young woman who draws inspiration from the world's buildings and relies on her own sensitivity to guide her. Back-to-back pages of the landscape of Vietnam and the site of the memorial connect the two places for children's better understanding. Phumiruk's depictions of the Vietnam War Memorial also give children an excellent view of this moving monument. Her images of Lin's other architectural work will entice young readers to learn more about her and to explore where each of these pieces can be found.

March 24 – It's Women's History Month
During the month of March we celebrate the roles and contributions of women throughout history. The theme for 2017 is "Honoring Trailblazing Women in Labor and Business." From earliest times, women have participated in and influenced events, often without receiving recognition. This month encourages all women to stand up to discrimination and stand up for what they believe in.
Written by Debbie Levy | Illustrated by Elizabeth Baddeley
Ruth Bader grew up during the 1940s in Brooklyn, New York's multicultural neighborhood. It was a time when boys were educated for jobs and bright futures while girls were expected to marry and raise children. Ruth's mother, Celia Amster Bader, however, "thought girls should also have the chance to make their mark on the world." She introduced Ruth to books in which she discovered women who used their strength, courage, and intelligence to do big things.

Ruth also saw and felt the sting of prejudice while growing up. Her family was Jewish, and at the time "hotels, restaurants, even entire neighborhoods" denied access to Jews, African Americans, Mexicans, and others. Ruth disagreed and never forgot. She was even discriminated against for being left-handed. In school she was instructed to write with her right hand, but her awkward penmanship earned a D. First, she cried; then she protested by only writing with her left hand—"it turned out she had quite nice handwriting!"
During elementary school, Ruth was outstanding in some classes, such as history and English, and did not do so well in others, such as sewing and cooking. Music, especially opera, was another favorite subject—even though she did not have the voice to match her dreams. She excelled in high school and was even chosen as a graduation speaker. But Ruth had been hiding the fact that her mother was very ill. The day before graduation, her mother died. Ruth did not go to her graduation, but she did fulfill her mother's wish and entered college.
In college Ruth met Marty Ginsberg, and the two fell in love. They both decided to become lawyers to fight prejudice and unfairness in court. People thought this was a great idea for Marty, but disapproved of it for Ruth. "Ruth disapproved right back. So did Marty." After college they got married, went to law school, and had a baby girl.
In law school Ruth was one of nine women in a class of 500. She worked hard and tied with another student as first in the class, but after graduation she couldn't find a job. Employers objected because she was a woman, a mother, and Jewish. Finally, she found work with a judge. Her excellent work for him translated into jobs at one law school after another, and she became "one of the few female law professors in the whole country."
All around her Ruth saw other women who were denied jobs or paid less than men. Women also had very little voice in courtrooms or in government. Rulings by the Supreme Court, the highest court in America, had helped maintain this inequality. The Court had stated that women were unfit for many jobs because of their "natural and proper timidity and delicacy." Besides, the Supreme Court also said, "Woman has always been dependent upon man."
"Ruth really, really disagreed with this!" So she began fighting in court for equal rights for women. But equal rights for women also meant equal rights for men: Ruth believed men should be able to stay home with children if they wanted to while women worked. "These were fresh ideas in the 1970s. Ruth did not win every case, but she won enough. With each victory, women and men and girls and boys enjoyed a little more equality."
At home, Ruth's own family agreed with her. Marty was a successful lawyer and also an accomplished chef who cooked the family's meals. Ruth went on to become a well-known and well-respected lawyer. President Jimmy Carter asked her to be a judge in Washington DC. Then President Bill Clinton chose her to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. "Ruth agreed.
In 1993, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman on the nation's highest court." When the nine justices decide a case, they listen to both sides and then vote. The winning side then writes an opinion explaining their ruling. When Justice Ginsburg votes with the winning side, she wears a special lace collar over her robe. When she does not agree with the ruling, she says, "I dissent" and writes an opinion explaining why. She has a special collar for dissenting too.
Some of her dissensions were influenced by her early experiences. She dissented when "the court wouldn't help women or African Americans or immigrants who had been treated unfairly at work." She dissented when the court did not protect voting rights for all citizens. She dissented when the court disagreed with schools that offered African Americans a better chance to go to college." And once when she dissented, Congress and the president agreed with her and overturned the Supreme Court's ruling.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is now the oldest member of the Supreme Court. Some people think she should retire, but she disagrees. She still has work to do. Over the years, she has "cleared a path for people to follow in her footsteps—girls in college, women in law school, and everyone who wants to be treated without prejudice….Step by step, she has made a difference…one disagreement after another."
An extensive Author's Note about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life, notes on Supreme Court Cases, and a selected bibliography follow the text.
Debbie Levy's outstanding biography allows readers to journey with Ruth Bader Ginsburg as her experiences and beliefs lay the foundation for her life's work. Well-chosen anecdotes from Ginsburg's childhood make her accessible to kids and may even inspire them to look toward their own futures. Ginsburg's trajectory from college student to lawyer to judge and finally to the Supreme Court is balanced and uplifting, emphasizing the positive impact of persistence and self-confidence.
Elizabeth Baddeley's illustrations go hand-in-hand with Levy's text to fully illuminate the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg for children. Ginsburg's intelligence, sense of humor, courage, and principles are evident as she matures from school girl to Supreme Court Justice. Dynamic typography highlights the theme of dissent and disagreement as a force for positive change. The color, expression, and spirit imbued in each page make I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark an exciting and eye-catching read for all children.
I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark is a superb and recommended book for girls and boys. The book's focus on a woman who continues to make a difference will inspire children and even adult readers to speak up and act on their convictions.

From its beginning as a single-day observance in 1911 , the celebration of women's achievements and contributions throughout history grew to a week-long event in 1982 and finally to encompass the entire month of March in 1988. During this month we remember the trail-blazing women of yesteryear who used their creativity, intelligence, and perseverance to promote rights for women while contributing their own innovations to science, art, social reform, medicine, and other disciplines as well as today's pioneers who carry on their legacy and make our world a better place.
To the Stars! The First American Woman to Walk in Space
Written by Carmella Van Vleet and Dr. Kathy Sullivan | Illustrated by Nicole Wong
As a child Kathy Sullivan loved to explore. Her father designed airplanes, and when he brought home blueprints, she carefully studied every line and curve. When she saw airplanes in the sky she wished she were on them, flying to exciting locations all over the world. Maps and foreign languages fascinated her. "Their strange symbols, exotic tales, and musical sounds made her feel like the world was waiting for her." Kathy wanted to see that whole world and thought maybe she'd like to be a spy or a diplomat, but her friends and other adults told her those weren't jobs for women.
Image copyright Nicole Wong, courtesy of nicole-wong.com
But Kathy always followed her heart. She loved going fishing with her dad and brother and finishing the day with a swim. She "delighted in how her arms and legs moved in slow motion underwater." Kathy was still a teenager when she learned how to pilot a plane. At first the busy instrument panel made her nervous, but she quickly learned how to manage all the "dials, buttons, and numbers."
Kathy got a taste for the thrill of space when she bravely jumped at the opportunity to ride in a Breezy—an open air framework plane. Sitting at the very tip of the airplane, in front of the pilot, Kathy had a bird's eye view. "The wind rushed past her face so fast it pushed her cheeks back. Higher! Faster! Young Kathy looked at the ground below her feet. She felt like she could see the whole world."
As an adult, Kathy put all of these experiences to good use as she studied complex science that would lead her to NASA. And when she became the first American woman to walk in space, she fulfilled her childhood dream to see the whole world!
Image copyright Nicole Wong, courtesy of charlesbridge.com
Carmella Van Vleet and Dr. Kathy Sullivan, have written a compelling biography of Dr. Sullivan that not only tells the story of her adult achievements, but also reveals the childhood and teenage motivations and influences that fostered her journey to the stars. As each event in Kathy's young life is introduced, it is followed by an adult accomplishment: Kathy's poring over her father's aircraft blueprints leads to a spread of college-age Kathy studying charts in textbooks. Her enjoyment of swimming underwater is followed by an illustration showing her NASA training underwater. Her initial introduction to a plane's instrument panel informs her later responsibilities inside the spacecraft. And the question she once asked herself as a child—what kind of job would allow her to see the whole world—is answered as the astronaut Kathy gazes down at Earth from space.
Nicole Wong's lovely, realistic watercolor and ink paintings clearly show readers Kathy Sullivan's trajectory from curious girl to accomplished astronaut. The blueprints that Kathy studies are filled with schematics. The aqua water she swims in swirls and bubbles in the wake of her cannonball dive, and the crisscrossing fields lay like a mottled green quilt under the Breezy. Especially stunning and effective are the illustrations of Dr. Sullivan's work with NASA. Kids will love the up-close view of the spacecraft's instrument panel with its myriad buttons and dial. Likewise, they will find the gorgeous two-page spreads of the space shuttle's launch, the view from the cockpit, and Kathy's spacewalk particularly thrilling.
Following the text is a personal note from Kathy Sullivan to her young readers. More extensive biographical notes reveal how Dr. Sullivan discovered her love of science as well as information on the NASA missions she supported. Two more pages highlight the women of the first space-shuttle class, which included Kathy Sullivan, and other firsts by eight other women in space.
To the Stars is a wonderful book to teach children that following their own heart is the best path to future happiness and personal accomplishment. It's a beautiful addition to any budding scientist's or adventurer's library!

Look Up! Henrietta Leavitt, Pioneering Woman Astronomer
Written by Robert Burleigh | Illustrated by Raúl Colón
Henrietta Leavitt loves the stars. Every night she sits on the front porch and asks herself what were in the early 1900s unanswerable questions. How high was the sky? How far away are the stars? She traces the form of the Big Dipper to the North Star and feels that the stars are trying to tell her something.
Image copyright Raúl Colón, text copyright Robert Berleigh. Courtesy of simonandschuster.com
As a young woman she takes an astronomy class—one of the few women to do so. She learns about light years, planets, and the vast distances that fascinate her. After graduation she takes a job at an observatory, and while it houses a large telescope to study the sky, Henrietta is not allowed to use it. She and the other woman who work at the observatory are only there to record, measure, and calculate data, not to have new ideas.
Image copyright Raúl Colón, courtesy of Simon & Schuster
But in doing her job, Henrietta begins to notice a pattern in the brightness of certain stars. She discovers new "blinking" stars. Taking careful measurements, Henrietta finds that a star with a slower "blink" time—the time it takes for a star to go from dim to bright, or from off to on—contains more light power than stars with faster blink times. But what does this mean? After more study she realizes that the blink time can determine the true brightness of any blinking star, even those far, far away.
Henrietta has made a breakthrough in astronomy! By knowing the true brightness of a star, astronomers can figure out the star's distance from Earth. Henrietta publishes her star chart in a magazine, and it helps other astronomers measure first the Milky Way and then galaxies they didn't even know existed! Henrietta is an astronomer–one who advances her beloved science! Even as she grows older Henrietta continues to look to the sky, to ask questions and dream.
More information about Henrietta Leavitt and her discoveries, Internet and print resources on astronomy and other women astronomers, a glossary, and more are provided on the final pages.
Instead of first presenting Henrietta Leavitt as an adult already working as an astronomer, Robert Burleigh chooses to introduce her as a child, when all she had were questions and dreams about the sky and the stars. It's a fitting emphasis for a picture book aimed at children who themselves are only just discovering the questions that will guide their lives. Burleigh's style is simple and straightforward, revealing pertinent facts about the working conditions of a woman scientist in the early 1900s, but emphasizing Henrietta's internal contemplations that led to her important discoveries. It's good for children to see that one does not always need to be the "astronaut" rocketing to the Space Station; the life of the mind is just as noble and needed a pursuit.
Raúl Colón's watercolor and ink illustrations echo the theme of dreams and contemplation with soft muted colors and antique, sepia tones. Brightness on the pages comes from the points of light that fill the skies and Henrietta's mind. As a child and young woman, Henrietta sits and stands in the glow of the stars and, one imagines, her own thoughts.

Personally, I would consider his OPS (or OPS+, which is calculated based on the league average and adjusted for ballpark effects) to be a better indicator of his success over home run totals, but as the Home Run Derby reminded us earlier this week, fans still dig the long ball.
Ranieri and Leicester will be hoping Kante follows Jamie Vardy's lead and snubs a transfer in order to play Champions League football at the King Power Stadium, with Chelsea unable to offer European competition. The Portugal global has become Madrid's undisputed star player since joining them from Manchester United in 2009, scoring well over 300 goals in all competitions over the past seven seasons and winning two Champions League trophies.
Paula Hart, 41, from Swansea, said: "It's just been vast". Nottingham Forest look set to be firmly rebuffed if they approach Wales hero Hal Robson-Kanu, as he is determined to join a Premier League or top European club. "We are into the semi-finals!" "It's not just showing it when you're one or two goals up, it's when you're down and it's against you". What a hearty performance.
While Brazil's Nunes shocked Tate in the main event, the hulking Lesnar (6-3) was the greatest curiosity on the card. Key Quote: TATE - "She's a very fast starter, very unsafe in the first round and she caught me". Although he walked away after consecutive losses and health problems, he repeatedly considered a return while racking up easier money in the WWE . The bout was promoted Thursday night to the main event of the UFC's landmark show.
In the overall, Van Avermaet leads Julian Alaphilippe by 6:36, with Alejandro Valverde third, 6:38 back. LAC DE PAYOLLE , France — Dribbling in pain on the punishing climb of the Col dAspin, Thibaut Pinot saw his hopes of winning the Tour de France disappear.
Griezmann is the first player to score six goals at a Euro since Platini, who netted nine times when France triumphed as hosts of the 1984 tournament. There were question marks raised over ow Can got to start despite not having made a single appearance in Euro 2016 before the France clash. And on Portugal's side is the fact that two other long-running hexes have been broken at the Euros.
Her victory at Wimbledon a year ago raised her Grand Slam count to 21, but while she almost had added to that total since, she was not able to.Kerber had not dropped a set in reaching the final and scuppered hopes of a first all-Williams grand slam final since 2009 when comprehensively beating Venus in the semis.Williams finished on 39 winners and 13 aces which absorbed the 21 unforced errors she had committed.
She wound up winning 24 of the match's last 29 points, and her 14 aces helped produce a "Did I read that right?" edge of 43-8 in winners. She's playing a high-voltage tennis match but she could be walking in the park, speeding on the highway, the wind blowing through her hair, or sketching flowy fashion for her designer line.
However, the 26-year-old said it was nothing to be concerned about as he felt a "little bit stiff" after the game in Lille and was merely having an extra day of recovery. However, Portugal's press officer Onofre Costa has confirmed that the defender, who is Gareth Bale's team-mate at Real Madrid, will not be training on Monday.
Max Verstappen: "That was a good race today"
Even the track owner, Red Bull, is not happy, with the energy drink marque's Dr Helmut Marko calling the kerbs "nonsensical" for single seaters. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen believe the FIA needs to address the "dangerous" kerbs which have triggered a spate of suspension failures ahead of the Austrian GP.
Only one man managed to move his way into the fourth round: Roger Federer. Friday was a busy - and stressful - day for Price, who has watched plenty of tennis in her lifetime. Amusing old game. When Serena Williams ate some gourmet dog food intended for her prized Yorkshire terrier, Chip, she went on to beat Christina McHale in straight sets in Rome last month.
Look at it! Come on please, look at it! The latter was unhappy with the playing conditions on Court One, telling umpire John Blom he would "sue" him if he got injured, later going on to declare himself as "p***** (off)". I behaved well. I didn't do anything until that moment. "I'm not saying he cost me the match but he cost me an important point". "I'm (upset) because I want to destroy him.
Shooting has been an issue in Milwaukee for a sustained period of time, and last year's defensive collapse has ensured that reinforcements are required to pursue the lockdown defense that seemed to turn the team's fortunes around in the season before last.
It was another dark day in English football as manager Roy Hodgson tendered his resignation immediately afterwards, triggering a post-mortem of what exactly went wrong in France, something that has become a reoccurring procedure following major tournaments.
Smith finished less than two seconds behind. The 200m fly was the event in which a teenaged Phelps qualified for the 2000 Olympics . Lochte settled for two silvers and a bronze. "He and I have gone back and forth a number of times in this race", Phelps said . "We're going to be out and probably step on the gas a little bit more than we have in the past, and you'll have an exciting race".
I barely remember the years of Casey Clausen. Summitt died at Sherrill Hill Senior Living in Knoxville surrounded by her family, son Tyler Summitt said. It was game in which Candace Parker , one of Summitt's most decorated players, played through a dislocated shoulder and scored 26 points to lead the Lady Vols to a 53-45 comeback victory.
They made eight pictures altogether, including the one that made her a star: The Adventures of Robin Hood , where she played a sly, spunky Maid Marian. Click through the gallery above to find out more about her career. As she marks her milestone birthday, Olivia de Havilland's legacy is enduring and she remains the grande dame of the Hollywood era.
Trump, in his speech , is expected to portray Clinton as a proponent of globalization and someone who has voiced opposition to trade deals in the past, only to turn around and support them. Trump is changing the Republican agenda on trade, saying USA agreements - and its support of China's entry into the World Trade Organization - have enabled businesses to move American jobs overseas, particularly manufacturing jobs from places like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The announcement from Ikea Australia comes after the store giant revealed it was recalling 29 million chests and dressers overseas. "If you have or think you have one of these products, act immediately", said Elliot Kaye, chairman of Ikea.
Rollins and Cena had a really good match, with no busted noses this time round - so calm down Bret Hart - which ended with The Club distracting John, allowing Seth to win with a pedigree. Kane defeats The Miz via count out. However, Miz was red-hot before he went to film The Marine. After commercial break, Miz was shown helping Maryse.

A: Seems that problem in using col-9 and col-8 those you apply for divs inside div.container
col-9 and col-8 classes have max-width and flex properties those limit the width.
Just remove them, and it should help with mobile view, but you have to tweak your CSS styles a little bit more,  depends what you want to achieve to desktop and tablet screens.

Żleb Darmstädtera (słow. Darmstädterov žľab) – jeden ze żlebów w masywie Gerlacha w słowackiej części Tatr Wysokich. Żleb Darmstädtera opada spod Przełęczy Tetmajera i kieruje się na północny wschód w stronę Doliny Wielickiej. Przez Żleb Darmstädtera nie wiodą żadne znakowane szlaki turystyczne, biegnie nim taternicka droga (tzw. droga Darmstädtera) z Doliny Wielickiej na Przełęcz Tetmajera.

Nazewnictwo Żlebu Darmstädtera upamiętnia Ludwiga Darmstädtera – alpinistę, który wraz z przewodnikiem Hansem Stabelerem dokonał pierwszego przejścia tegoż żlebu.

Historia
Pierwsze wejścia turystyczne Żlebem Darmstädtera na Przełęcz Tetmajera:
 Ludwig Darmstädter i Hans Stabeler (inaczej Johann Niederwieser), 23 lipca 1899 r. – letnie,
 Jacelín i towarzysze, 22 kwietnia 1950 r. – zimowe.

Q: "parameters.properties.archiveWindowLength must be a TimeSpan/Duration" I am having the above error whose full description is as follow:
Error: Error parameters.properties.archiveWindowLength must be a TimeSpan/Duration. occurred in serializing the payload - {
  "archiveWindowLength": "PT30M",
  "assetName": "asset-OBS"
}.

I am using nodeJS, while creating live output from azure it make this error.
My code for this:
azureMediaServicesClient.liveOutputs.create(resourceGroup, accountName, liveEventName, liveOutputName, {
            archiveWindowLength : "PT30M",
            assetName : assetName,
 })

I have tried to search on this but not found any ans which supports.

*

*I have tried ms-rest latest 2.5.4.

*followed this link.

A: The description of archiveWindowLength in the official document and nodejs sdk is different. I guess it may be that nodejs sdk is not updated in time.
The latest official document archiveWindowLength is of string type, but it is still moment.duration in nodejs sdk. You can see the screenshot below.

So to modify the program, use moment.duration, you need to import moment through const moment = require("moment");.
Your code should like below:
const {AzureMediaServices} = require('azure-arm-mediaservices');
const msRestAzure = require('ms-rest-azure');
const msRest = require('ms-rest');
const azureStorage = require('azure-storage');
const moment = require("moment");

// endpoint config
// make sure your URL values end with '/'

const armAadAudience = "https://management.core.windows.net/";
const aadEndpoint = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/";
const armEndpoint = "";
const subscriptionId = "";
const accountName ="";
const location ="";
const aadClientId = "";
const aadSecret ="";
const aadTenantId ="";
const resourceGroup ="";

msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(aadClientId, aadSecret, aadTenantId, {
environment: {
  activeDirectoryResourceId: armAadAudience,
  resourceManagerEndpointUrl: armEndpoint,
  activeDirectoryEndpointUrl: aadEndpoint
}
  }, async function(err, credentials, subscriptions) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  const azureMediaServicesClient = new AzureMediaServices(credentials, subscriptionId, armEndpoint, { noRetryPolicy: true });

  try {
    var a=  await azureMediaServicesClient.liveOutputs.create(resourceGroup, accountName, "jasonlive", "jasonliveoutput", {

        "archiveWindowLength" : moment.duration("PT30M"),
        "assetName" : "b-mp4-20210108-153238"
    })

    console.log(a)

  }
  catch(e){
      console.log(e.message)
  }
});

It works for me.

A: Thanks all! Thank you Jason Pan.
Note that there is a brand new Node.js SDK for Media Services here -
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@azure/arm-mediaservices
I have not had time to build any new live streaming samples, but i started to checkin some new encoding samples that shows how to use the newer SDK.
Happy to take any support from the community on samples in this repo! Just let me know which ones you would like to contribute.
https://github.com/Azure-Samples/media-services-v3-node-tutorials/tree/master
I have this branch here right now for working on some new samples. Note only the HelloWorld-listAssets and the StreamFilesSample are updated so far.
https://github.com/Azure-Samples/media-services-v3-node-tutorials/tree/updatedNodeSDK
UPDATES:
I created new samples in Typescript with the latest Nodejs SDK for Media Services. See here

Subjunctivities, Twice.
Merve Ünsal in conversation with Salwa Aleryani
1 | Entry point | In the film Woman in the Dunes [1], a man visiting a small village to collect insects misses the last bus back to the city. The villagers, in an apparent act of hospitality, lead him to a house in the sand dunes where a woman lives by herself. The ladder that he descends on disappears—he is tricked by the villagers who want him to help the woman digging sand for sale. This sand is then processed into concrete, which is also an act to protect the house from being buried in the advancing dune. The system works only when sand is transported out to the outside world and transformed into a construction material.
Perhaps the immobility of the things around us is imposed on them by our certainty that they are themselves and not others, by the immobility of our mind confronting them.—Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time, The Way by Swann's, 1928.
| Material | is stubborn in a way in that it resists impulse— at the same time it's forgiving. It appears to have a life of its own before, throughout, and aft􏰀er the process of making, but it also seems to await clear instructions. I rarely have clear instructions, and so it's more of a negotiation, a conversation that goes back and forth. It relies on language while eluding it. It's a relief when and if you're able to break free from the angst of the irreversibility of an act, of a process that has unintended consequences, and instead acknowledge the agency the material has beyond your imposition.
Dwelling, leading, misleading. From transportation, to container, to being contained. Source and resource. The huddling of bodies in an intimate act, and in an act, at an event, with a crowd, in inauguration. Collectively intimate but also violent, comical. Coercion and rhetoric.
2 | The making, unmaking, destroying, accepting, slightly shift􏰀ing, casting, freezing, waiting, letting happen. Hierarchized and organized within the boundaries of the exhibition.
The bits and pieces that the process yields are the ingredients of something else. Something larger either to be combined or meant as means towards another end. A􏰀fter or before that the sequence is irrelevant, but there's always the notion of discipline when you start to think about and through form. This is the moment where the material appears to escape you; form escapes you; form and material you can escape from. It is about slippages and gestured surfaces, and a transition, longed for.
Salwa Aleryani, Accidents posing as intentions, 2016.
3 | The act of casting a coin in a well or a fountain to make a wish is a removal. The coin that is being thrown into the body of water represents the removal of the wish from the body of the caster—the coin is charged with carrying, holding on to the things that the person is wishing for, and these wishes can only be realized if they are not embodied within the physical body. A wish cannot exist within the body if it is to become real.
| Casting | a stone, a brick or a coin is throwing it far away from you. Putting it at a distance, watching it land or being deposited somewhere, with the idea that it arrives, settles, and offers something back. The gesture is located somewhere between an expectation and a deliberate understanding (or misunderstanding) of the process of growth, like planting a seed.
Returning to gravity, the weight of things, the physical exertion of throwing a coin (if there is one) or of lift􏰀ing a brick. Tossing a coin highlights this disembodiment, shedding and pushing something away from yourself, an act of emptying, especially if you think of it coming from the space of a pocket. When a coin lands, sinks, hits rock bottom, swims, if it does, if it can, creates ripples, what it sets in motion literally and physically.
Could the cast coin wish be edited, or recalled for correction? Could it follow a change of mind, of state or of circumstance?
4 | Tevekkül | an extension of determinism, fatalism, tevekkül corresponds to the idea of doing everything in your human power and then leaving the rest to God. Tevekkül expresses a combination of free will and faith/fate. When the Van earthquake struck Eastern Turkey in 2011, a lot of faults [2] were identified. Some of the survivors, when asked why they did not move to a better house or why they did not take precautions in an earthquake zone, responded by saying that to take action to prevent damage would be almost blasphemous, an act of resistance. This interpretation of tevekkül bears a striking resemblance to edited inscriptions on cornerstones with shi􏰀fting dates of construction.
| Niyya | refers to intention, aim, or purpose. It motivates an action, an action is a by-intention, and the idea is that God judges your actions not by the action itself, but by what you intended.
Oddly enough this idea has o􏰀ften made me think of art making.
I can't say that when forms resist the maker, they resist the action or the intention. What I would say is that there is a correlation between the resistance to the intention and the form appearing to be in a state between what has happened and what is yet to happen.
Salwa Aleryani, Becoming Reacquainted, 2015.
Strange and mysterious things, though, aren't they— earthquakes? We take it for granted that the earth beneath our feet is solid and stationary. We even talk about people being 'down to earth' or having their feet firmly planted on the ground. But suddenly one day we see that it isn't true. The earth, the boulders, that are supposed to be solid, all of a sudden turn as mushy as liquid.—Haruki Murakami, Thailand from Aft􏰀er the Quake, 2003.
Could something fragile today stand for something solid in the future? If flimsy cornerstones and pinned paper plaques can lay claim to massive structures, bridges, and roads,then could one say this is a moment where power and weakness (a contradiction?) is celebrated? There's something to be appreciated about that, like standing on one leg.
We oft􏰀en use metaphors, such as standing on one leg, being down to earth, feeling grounded. In a way, language is crucial to the process of how I think through and with materials, their physical characteristics, appearance, and function. Different meanings collide when words swing from one context to another. In George Lakoff and Mark Johnson's Metaphors We Live By (2003), in a chapter titled "Challenges to Metaphorical Coherence", a paragraph reads:
THEORIES (AND ARGUMENTS) ARE BUILDINGS
Is that the foundation for your theory? The theory needs more support. The argument is shaky. We need some more facts or the argument will fall apart. We need to construct strong argument for that…
And I wrote down: "She was fragile but had a concrete thought."
In his work, William Kentridge speaks of different layers of sinking and unearthing. The surface sinks, but also what lies underneath and above it. What Kentridge says includes an understanding of infrastructure that is non-geological, seen from a geological perspective, indicating the instability of an invisible ground.
The idea of rationality also comes into play here. We might disagree on what that means, but in this attempt of untangling emotions involved in wishful thinking, projecting into the future, superstition, irrationality also come up.
6 | Housing as a verb. Housing names, describes, and also determines the state of being housed. The housing that we live in is what hosts us—both holding and delineating the space of living.
| Hope | comes from "grounds of believing that something 'good' may happen." Notice: grounds.
Let's consider ceremonies of transition—the tools, items, and objects that are used in this process of making, or makebelieving, the precision, symbolism, and technicality of some and the simplicity of others. Put together I read them as a hybrid form of architecture, monument, and sculpture, with a performative tension and fragility.
I would like to refer you to this video I came across, in which we see four blocks of stone [3]. The attendees point at them, declare what the foundation will be (the future location of a branch of an association), shake hands, clap, clap. There's something absurd, something humorous maybe, and for me at least a curiosity to know what leads to this performative gesture in general, but even more so in the absence of a larger crowd and publicity. The crowd is relatively small and seems to consist of members of the same association. There's an absence of new members, of the newly convinced. Then again in this context, a landscape that perhaps won't recognize this subtle, and almost imperceptible demarcation among other things.
We want to really exercise fate with extremely normal things such as our mind.—Lisa Robertson, Occasional Work and Seven Walks from the Office for Soft􏰀 Architecture, 2011
7 | The sand pieces are shaped by clean geometric forms. They have been compressed by a pressure that is still visible, becoming the forms that we see. I can imagine this process of becoming, I see the imprint and feel the exertion applied to the surface of the sand.
Sand evokes a strong physical sensation of motion as it shi􏰀fts and moves with landscapes. Salwa's sculptural works freeze this mobility, which is still palpitating in the material.
Sand is also the main ingredient of architectural cement structures that are built to last for many years. Salwa debunks the steps of the process that we take for granted— even the pavement that we walk on in Berlin or elsewhere, with its materiality and the stuff occasionally impressed into it, becomes strangely overt. Trowels appear malleable, marble soft􏰀ened, cement fluid.
I try to play out the shift􏰀ing value of a form once it performs another role, its weight, gravity, and withdrawal, what's embedded and embodied. The impression your body creates when you press it against the ground. Movement in time, its temporality.
———-{Solid becoming broken
———-{Broken becoming water
8 | Love | is a period of time that has a beginning and o􏰀ften an end. The temporality between the two bookends records, performs, and fulfils its own goal. This frailty of ends extends into Salwa's display of things which reveal the processual character of the entire exhibition space. It is a platform of things that could have been and things that were, drawing on the power of casting inherent in objects. They hold on to things that mattered, recording and soaking up the temporality of the work. In the realm that Salwa sets up, everything happens not just once.
Things should be allowed to die. Holding on to something, maintaining, altering a material, in the hope of, with a wish for, its survival, is unconvincing.
Salwa Aleryani, Before they harden, 2016.
9 | (Sculptural) Erection | monolithic, fluidity, imitation, lying down, becoming one. Form's absence as becoming a form itself. Permanence, impermanence. Stigmatizing vs. imprinting.
Leaving something behind is aligned with abandonment. Although abandonment involves a disappearance it also leaves a clear mark, not without stigma. I'm fascinated by this notion of disappearance in a material sense, what left􏰀 an impression on what, and how. Molds work in that way.
10 | Moyra Davey has this image of a marble slab with the engravement, The End. The End as something temporal—it is relative. The (relative) permanence of the marble slab is confusing in the way that the sharp shapes on plaster lined up on the column, are. There is a tension here: what the material represents is contradicted by its form.
Filling an engraving. The unfilled, the unfulfilled.
The sides of the marble slabs are grazed. To graze is to touch, to scrape lightly, so it's safe to say that a circular saw scraped the marble lightly in passing. It can happen at the onset of an encounter or during departure. This is where the beginning and the ending intersect. There's nothing contradictory about that. I thought about filling the engraving with water that would evaporate.
11 | We become aware of the repetitiveness of the minting process when something goes wrong. The repetition is invisible as long as the process doesn't fail. A head is decapitated, things are repeated, some are amiss, coins are not circular. Salwa's objects thrive in these gaps and errors. This is not dissimilar to how plumbing works. We become aware of plumbing only when it fails.
I wonder about the idea of failure and that something is not working. It still works; it just works differently.
12 | Drawing | is a form of tracing—Salwa's drawings transliterated into fluid objects are reminiscent of cartography. The frozen puddles on the pavement already contain this gesture of making permanent what was fleeting at best.
| Patent | a government authority or license conferring a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention.
Patent illustrations always appear to take on awkward angles. For me, it's as if they are uncomfortable with their own layout. This could be attributed to their uneasy position somewhere between authority and the breathing space of inventing.
13 | Landscape | scale is relative, it depends on the position of observation. I think of Emmet Gowin's photographs of nuclear testing sites in Nebraska that document manmade changes in nature in an abstract fashion, evoking alienation from what is to be seen. This alienation via abstraction is something that Salwa's objects hold. A􏰀fter all, the minimal (with a lower-case m) and at times miniaturized objects hold a lot more than what we can expect from visuality. On the other hand, there is perhaps no other way to elaborate and articulate other than through abstraction. So is it possible to propose that the ambiguity of abstraction is a form shared by artists dealing with realpolitik?
In certain circumstances abstraction can be an escape from reality. In other instances it is a decorated cop-out. Whether these are two sides of the same coin, focusing on the nuances, forms, and fallouts of materials, is beside the point, unless this coin has an error.
14 | [Thirteen is an unlucky number. Should we keep going?]
Salwa Aleryani, Coined notion, 2016.
Jean-Luc Godard's notion "this is not a just image, this is just an image," is perhaps best suited to characterize the conversations between Salwa Aleryani and myself. Notions of emergency, form, content, materiality, and inadvertent exposure to images and situations have been at the core of both our works and thinking. Justice, or justness, presents itself as an apt way of thinking about what we try to achieve with this text—it is just a text that emerged as we tried to do justice to the ideas that came up in our conversation.
—Berlin, July 2016
[1] By Hiroshi Teshigahara, Japan 1964.
[2] Fault as in a defect vs. fault as in an extended break in a rock formation. Fault as in responsibility for misfortune.
Salwa Aleryani, Frozen puddle, 2016.
This conversation took place on the occasion of Salwa Aleryani's exhibition Intending Probability at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin (May 26 – June 19, 2016) as part of a one-year residency, supported by KfW Stiftung. The text first appeared in the eponymous catalogue published in 2017 by Verlag Kettler (Dortmund) and edited by Marie-Hélène Gutberlet and Christoph Tannert.
Salwa Aleryani is an artist based in Berlin, and elsewhere. Her work looks into sites, structures and their infrastructures, and lately into notions of hope and promise in public and political setups.
Merve Ünsal is a visual artist based in Istanbul. In her works, she employs text and photography, possibly beyond their form. Merve is the founding editor of m-est.org.

Three dead in Clackamas Town Center shooting
Pamplin Media Group
Two people were shot and killed and at least one other person was seriously wounded during a Tuesday afternoon attack at Clackamas Town Center's food court area.
The gunman is also dead, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
The two people killed in this attack were Cindy Ann Yuille, 54, a resident of northeast Portland, and Steven Mathew Forsyth, 45, of West Linn.
One girl, Kristina Shevchenko, was wounded in the shooting and taken by Life Flight to Oregon Health and Science University Hospital, where she was listed in serious condition.
The mall was closed Tuesday evening and all day Wednesday as law enforcement investigated the shooting. The mall's owners, General Growth Properties of Chicago, said the shopping center would remain closed during the investigation.
At the same time, TriMet's MAX station and parking garage will be closed for at least Wednesday. MAX Green Line riders will need to board trains at the Southeast Fuller Road Station. Riders will not be allowed into the Clackamas Town Center Transit Center MAX Station.
Ten bus lines that serve the Clackamas Town Center Transit Center and other bus stops in the mall's parking lot will be detoured during the investigation. The buses will serve temporary stops on Monterey Avenue, near the parking lot entrance by the movie theater, and at the Fuller Road Station. Lines being detoured are 28, 29, 30, 31, 71, 72, 79, 152, 155 and 156.
Locked in for hours
The attack began at about 3:27 p.m., sending nearly 10,000 people scrambling for exits inside the two-level, 1.2 million-square-foot shopping center in suburban Clackamas County, about 12 miles from downtown Portland.
Only one gunman was suspected in the shooting, according to sheriff's office spokesmen. Deputies said that at about 4:45 p.m. the shooter's body and weapon were found inside the shopping center.
The alleged shooter, 22-year-old Jacob Tyler Roberts of Portland, was carrying a semi-automatic rifle he apparently stole from a friend.
A sheriff's office spokesman initially said the "shooter has been neutralized." The gunman apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Sgt. Adams Phillips said law enforcement officers did not fire any shots during the incident.
Gov. John Kitzhaber dispatched Oregon State Police Superintendent Rich Evens to the mall to help with the investigation. Kitzhaber praised the law enforcement effort to contain the incident and limit casualties.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families," the governor said. "I appreciate the work of the first responders and their quick reaction to this tragic shooting."
Sheriff's deputies who arrived within minutes of the first reports on the shooting guided most people out of the mall. Some mall employees locked themselves in break rooms and other places inside the center's more than 180 stores.
Ariel Lihs, a resident of Clackamas who works at the mall, said she heard shots, but thought at first that they were construction sounds. After seeing people flee Macy's and Nordstrom in the northeast corner of the mall, she went directly to her finance, Logan Young, who works at the mall's Hannah Society.
"I got up and ran straight to Logan, and although we've been locked in for two hours, I'm glad I did, because we might not be together now," she said.
'Not supposed to happen'
"The mall is supposed to be a place that we can take our families," said Sheriff Craig Roberts, "and these sorts of things are not supposed to happen."
Penny Okamoto, executive director of Ceasefire Oregon, expressed her "deepest condolences to the entire community" and pointed to a 1994-2004 assault-weapon ban that was allowed to sunset under President Bush.
"It begs the question: If that hadn't happened, would this tragedy have happened?" she asked. "This is a terrible tragedy, and we're so sad to see this, and our hearts our with the families affected just two weeks before Christmas just so that the NRA and the gun lobby can increase their profits."
Okamoto saw a pattern developing, including the shooting of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the shooting in a Colorado movie theatre. Locally, in a separate incident, a 17-year-old is accused of killing his grandmother in Milwaukie just the day before the Clackamas shooting.
"We've got to be very careful about giving out 270 and 300 million guns nationwide, so that now there's almost one for every man, woman and child in the U.S.," Okamoto said.
Ceasefire Oregon will hold its next gun turn-in during the spring.
"Santa Claus could have been shot in the mall," she said. "If you're sick of this, you should call your legislators to tell them to fix the laws so that assault weapons don't end up in the hands of felons."
Sgt. Phillips said he did not know why there has been a nationwide trend of more killings, and why gunmen have been able to inflict casualties at a greater rate. CSSO and other police agencies have responded since Columbine, he noted, by empowering officers to decide to try to stop a threat rather than wait for a SWAT team. At the Clackamas Town Center in the past year, employees and law enforcement practiced a procedure to lock down the building and get people out in cases of violent threat.
"The ultimate goal here will be to stop that loss of life," Phillips said," no one is going to argue with that."
A panic situation
One witness told reporters that the gunman apparently entered the mall through a side door near Macy's on the south side of the mall near the center of the main building. The man dressed in black and wearing a hockey mask, ran through the mall before shooting.
Michael Heard, a stylist at Tony and Guy Hair Salon inside the mall, said he was styling a person's hair when the shots started. People in the mall began to run when they heard the shots, Heard said.
"It was kind of like a movie," Heard said. "People were grabbing their kids and running out."
Heard said people could not use their cell phones and the Internet was down about the time the shooting started. Outside the mall, some people received texts from friends in California and other states who heard about the shooting from the news media.
Although police were blocking the mall's main exits, Heard said he and other salon employees were able to go back into the mall twice to shut down their shop.
"It was kind of a panic situation," he said. "There was a big crowd running out."
Don, a Portland man who didn't want to give his last name, was outside the Nordstrom store when the shooting occurred, and said he heard 12 to 18 shots fired in the direction of the food court. He and his wife Phyllis were among the many shoppers quickly shepherded into the Nordstrom cafe for safety.
"Just moments after the shots rang out, they got people inside and closed the gates, almost immediately," Don said.
Looking down the mall, he said, "You could see all of the security gates were going down."
It was a scary experience, Phyllis said. Nordstrom employees helped by serving the people coffee and chocolate inside the store's café. After an hour and a half huddled inside the cafe, they were escorted to their cars.
Loud pops and flash
Several minutes after the attack began, deputies shut the mall down and began searching for the gunman. At one point, there were more than 100 law enforcement officers from the surrounding areas in the mall.
Witnesses told KOIN Local 6 that hundreds of shoppers were told to get down on the floor of several stores shortly after the shooting began. Minutes later, they were told to leave the stores and the mall.
Art Idelbong, an Oregon Air National Guard member, was in the magazine section of the Barnes & Noble bookstore when he heard "loud pops and saw a flash coming from the hallway."
"I looked across at the girl who was studying and we both had a puzzled look when another loud pop came from the hallway," Idelbong said. "We both got up and headed for the front entrance after gathering our bags and umbrellas. Employees and other customers all were grabbing their possessions and heading for the front door."
People said the crowded mall was chaotic as people began to leave the shopping center. Witnesses said they heard what sounded like firecrackers and then were warned to leave the center. Others described the sounds as loud bangs.
Most people reported hearing about a dozen or more shots that echoed through the mall.
Fire trucks, law enforcement vehicles and ambulances were massed at the mall's north entrance near the theaters along Southeast Monterey Avenue.
About 100 law enforcement officers from around the region were still at the mall, some searching the massive shopping center to make certain there was no other gunman.
Macy's employee Karen Reese, a resident of East Multnomah County near Gresham, was just arriving at work as police arrived. Although she was told by management not to divulge who might be killed or injured, she planned to wait out the night until she heard from her co-workers.
"There are just a few of us who aren't accounted for yet, so I'm still really worried," she said.
