[Seattle Go Center] Call for Volunteers: Bellevue College Japan Week

1:00 PM |

Hello Go Players,
 
As fall approaches Bellevue College's Japan Week yearly festival is approaching.  It is open to the public Saturday September 30, 9am to 5pm.  This is a medium size event, and last year we taught Go to over 50 people.  The event is at 3000 Landerholm Cir SE, Bellevue, WA.
 
This year I am hoping to get 2 people to help with setting up the day before and 4-6 volunteers to teach people totally new to the game on 30 SEP.  If you are free to help with set up or teaching, please email me with the best way to contact you and when you are available to help.
 
I will bring plain and flavored waters for volunteers, but for lunch and snacks, please bring some food or buy something from the event.
 
The Japan Fair is also hosting an outdoor Go game, and looking for volunteers. If this sounds like fun and you like to help out, please sign up for "Outside Go Game" on the Japan Week's Volunteer Page (https://forms.gle/1GsMHKF6T3LmbbCK6).
 
Last year's Japan Week was a major success, and I know with your help we can make this year's event fun and engaging too.

[Seattle Go Center] SGC Eastside Saturday Meetup Reminder

3:32 PM |

Hey, all.  I wanted to remind folks that Emma Huang started a Saturday meetup at the Crossroads Mall food court (near the King County Library) every week from 2-5pm.  She said about a dozen people have been showing up.  If you have questions or want more details, please reach out to Emma at emmayhuang07@gmail.com. 

Cheers,
Bill

P.S.,
     I just made this up, but maybe a fun activity this fall would be an unrated Crossroads Saturday vs. SGC Saturday team tournament 🙂.

[Seattle Go Center] SGC Seeking 5-6 Moving Volunteers for 09 SEP

2:01 PM |

If you think you can help load the moving van or unload it, some able bodies would be very much appreciated.  Each hour we save from the three-dudes-and-a-truck is $212/hr we save.  We will also use cars for some nicer items such as floor gobans and scrolls.

I'd like to be more organized this time and to make sure we know whom to expect where.  Also, if a dozen people show up, we might be wasting your time since there's only so much moving we can do as things go into and come off the truck.  PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU CAN COMMIT TO HELPING!!!

We will meet the moving truck 09 SEP 9:00 am at 14900 Aurora AV N (orange Public Storage facility).  For those who can help at that site, I'll give you my cell so that I can come let you in the gate when you arrive.  We may only need 3 more folks in addition to me and one other volunteer I have for this site due to the tight space and waiting for carts or hand trucks to get loaded.

My guess is around 11am or noon/12:30 we will arrive at N 66th St and Dayton AV N (the SE corner of teh PNA campus).  If you plan to help on the unloading portion only, I can text when we leave the storage facility so that you have time to go to Phinney.  We can likely use 6 folks here because we will try to organize where things go, move some things into the storage area of PNA, and there are some steps involved (elevator only goes so far 🙂).

I'm so excited we can open soon!!!

Thanks,
Bill

Atualização da nossa política de inatividade da Conta do Google

1:48 PM |

Todos os dias, o Google trabalha muito para proteger você e suas informações particulares impedindo o acesso não autorizado à sua Conta do Google com nossas proteções de segurança integradas. Para isso, temos práticas de privacidade fortes em nossos produtos, que minimizam o tempo pelo qual armazenamos seus arquivos pessoais e quaisquer dados associados a eles. Queremos proteger suas informações particulares e impedir qualquer acesso não autorizado à sua conta, mesmo que você não use mais nossos serviços.

Por isso, estamos atualizando o período de inatividade das Contas do Google para dois anos em todos os nossos produtos e serviços. Essa mudança começa a ser lançada hoje e será aplicada a qualquer Conta do Google que estiver inativa, ou seja, que não foi conectada nem usada em um período de dois anos. Uma conta inativa e o conteúdo dela estarão qualificados para exclusão a partir de 1 de dezembro de 2023.

Como isso afeta você:

  • Essas mudanças só vão afetar você se a sua Conta do Google estiver inativa há dois anos ou se ela não tiver sido usada para fazer login em nenhum serviço do Google há mais de dois anos.
  • Embora as mudanças entrem em vigor hoje, a primeira exclusão de conta só vai acontecer em dezembro de 2023.
  • Se a sua conta for considerada inativa, vamos enviar vários lembretes para ela e para os e-mails de recuperação (se houver) antes de tomarmos qualquer medida ou excluirmos o conteúdo da conta. Esses e-mails de lembrete serão enviados pelo menos oito meses antes de qualquer ação ser realizada na sua conta.
  • Depois que uma Conta do Google é excluída, o endereço do Gmail dela não pode ser usado novamente ao criar outra Conta do Google.

Como manter sua conta ativa?

A maneira mais simples de manter uma Conta do Google ativa é fazendo login pelo menos uma vez a cada dois anos. Se você tiver feito login na sua Conta do Google dentro desse período, ela será considerada ativa e não será excluída.

Outras maneiras de manter a conta ativa:

  • Ler ou enviar um e-mail
  • Usar o Google Drive
  • Assistir um vídeo do YouTube
  • Compartilhar uma foto
  • Fazer o download de um app
  • Usar a Pesquisa Google
  • Usar o recurso "Fazer login com o Google" em um app ou serviço de terceiros

Esta política tem algumas exceções. Os exemplos incluem: uma Conta do Google com vídeos, canais ou comentários do YouTube, uma conta que tenha um vale-presente com saldo monetário ou uma conta que tenha um aplicativo publicado (como um app que hospeda outro na Google Play Store). Consulte outras exceções à política neste link.

Também oferecemos ferramentas para gerenciar sua Conta do Google e opções para fazer backup dos dados, incluindo a possibilidade de fazer o download deles usando o Takeout. Além disso, você pode usar o Gerenciador de contas inativas para planejar o que vai acontecer com seus dados se a conta ficar inativa por um período específico.

Nossa prioridade é que, se você escolher deixar a conta ativa, não tenha dificuldades com isso. Vamos garantir que você receba um aviso adequado antes que uma conta seja afetada por essa mudança. Assim, vamos enviar notificações prévias para a Conta do Google e para o e-mail de recuperação dela, caso tenha sido fornecido, informando sobre a exclusão. Verifique se o seu e-mail de recuperação está atualizado.

Saiba mais

Atenciosamente,
Equipe de Contas do Google

Este e-mail foi enviado para atualizar você sobre mudanças importantes na sua Conta do Google e nos serviços relacionados.

[Seattle Go Center] Re: SGC Update and Meetups

6:28 PM |

Hello, folks.  I'm happy to announce where Seattle Go Center will be re-opening.  Barring any unforeseen cosmic events, we will re-open for the fall in Phinney Community Center, hopefully by 12 SEP, Tue.  There is potential for us to stay there until we can buy a permanent place, about 4 years, but we will continue to look for a commercial rental during the fall if something pops up that is really good.

We're excited to be a part of Phinney, another 501c3 that is trying to do good and develop community, and we've gotten good feedback from folks we randomly surveyed.  We used to do outreach here frequently, there's good eateries nearby, two frequent bus lines, lots of free parking onsite, all cyclists I talked to were happy, and there are MANY folks of all ages flowing through the campus whom we may engage and attract to Go.  

Of course, no place is going to be perfect.  Phinney is a few more minutes' driving from the i5 corridor and off the light rail line, so from some places another bus change or whatnot will add some angst for some.  We adhered to the dominant survey feedback, and it is tough if not impossible to hit all the desires for temporary rental space  (size, transit, parking, not too far out on the edges of North Seattle, accessible during our hours, restrooms, good/clean/safe area, etc.).  The space could be bigger, but the price is below our budget for rent which, if sustainable, will help us get through the next four years with more to spend on a permanent place.

Of course, send any questions, and please stay tuned for a final, definite date and details on where to go.

Cheers,
Bill

Subject: SGC Update and Meetups
 
Hey, all.  We think we've found a temporary place to house SGC at least for the fall beginning 12 SEP.  We're still working through some details and still looking at 4 year rentals until we can search for a permanent home.  I will update you when we know for sure when we'll re-open and where.

EASTSIDE FOLKS.  Emma Huang, a long time youth member, who used to regularly come to ratings tournaments and has studied with Mr. Yang, is leading a meetup at the Crossroads Mall.  This Saturday she will begin hosting a group in the food court near the King County Library (KCLS) every week from 2-5pm.  She last year spearheaded a school Go club, and she has equipment to bring to the meetup.  You can contact her at emmayhuang07@gmail.com.  I will try to get her an SGC poster she can put on a chair or table to help folks find her ... in case gobans and stones aren't a good clue 🙂.  Thanks to Emma for helping eastsiders meet and helping SGC with its mission to promote Go and cultural exchange.

The Zoka group is still meeting Mondays 9am-12pm.

I hope to see people at SGC soon.  We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the current situation.

Cheers,
Bill

[Seattle Go Center] Green Lake Today -- From Hiroshima to Hope and Atomic Bomb Game

10:49 AM |

Dear Go Center Members,

I apologize for the very short notice (a lot has been happening lately, as you all know).

Today will is the 78th anniversary of America dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.  Our generous benefactor, Kaoru Iwamoto 9p, was playing a Honinbo title match game with Utaro Hashimoto about 5 miles from the impact site.  The blast disrupted the last day of their three-day game, and though windows were broken from the blast, nobody in the playing room was badly hurt.  Later in the day, they restored the board state and finished the game.  Only later, as they walked to their host's house, did they get the terrible news of what happened as refugees were fleeing the center of Hiroshima.

There is an annual gathering at Green Lake to recognize this event with a beautiful floating lantern ceremony.  Seattle Go Center joins the activities prior to the lantern ceremony to replay the Atom Bomb Game.  For more info on the ceremony, go to https://fromhiroshimatohope.org.  If you're walking around Greenlake from roughly 4pm-6pm, a bit south of the theater on the west side of the lake, you might stop and say hey to the volunteers there today or place some game moves yourself.

For more information on the Atomic Bomb Game, including a game record, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Go_games#Atomic_bomb_game   and
https://www.seattlego.org/2020/08/04/75th-anniversary-of-the-atom-bomb-game  .

Peace,
Bill
