Which venue do you recommend for 15 to 25 people? (semi-private space)

Hi everyone! I’m organizing a casual private gathering for 15 to 25 people, and I’m looking for venue recommendations in Calgary. Here is what we’re hoping to find:

Space:

A private dining room, a boardroom-style area, or a semi-private section of a restaurant or lounge.

Vibe:

We’d love a venue where background music is playing — maybe even jazz or light blues, but not a live concert setting where it’s the main focus. We want to be able to hear the music while holding conversations without shouting.

Food & Drink:

A place with appetizers and drinks

I’d love to hear your suggestions! Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone! I’m organizing a casual private gathering for 15 to 25 people, and I’m looking for venue recommendations in Calgary. (For mods: The restaurant and lounge industry experiences rapid turnover, so it's always worth asking again, because new places pop up, and old favourites shut down).

Here is what we’re hoping to find:

Space:

A private dining room, a boardroom-style area, or a semi-private section of a restaurant or lounge.

Could you please help me identify this tree I Iove?

I'm in Melbourne and move house after many years. I'm really going to miss this tree I have. I'm hoping someone might be able to definitively identify what is it?

I'm hoping I might be able to buy a younger one from somewhere. But if not i might try the air layering option and hope it works and I don't harm the tree.

I've asked AI and it can't definitely determine. But thinks it's either:
Prunus × blireana
Prunus campanulata

TIA

Albino Skunk? [Central Texas]

Apologies for the not-very-sharp pics.
Is this an albino skunk?
If so, what are natural predators of skunks and how can an animal with this fur color survive without ability to properly hide?

This is, perhaps, not a typical post for this subreddit, but hopefully it inspires new users to see the iNaturalist community working together to solve ID mysteries!

Northern Illinois [details in post]

Saw three of these falcon or harrier shaped birds at dusk earlier. The size was hard to tell, as they were VERY high up, but likely around coopers hawk size? maybe smaller, maybe falcon size, really can't tell. The shape seemed like a northern harrier, with the thinner V type wings, however I read that harriers fly low looking for rodents. These birds were flying high and extremely erratically, very fast flapping and quick directional changes. If any bird fits this shape and behavioral description and can be found in northern illinois, I'd love to know.

What do you call the World Cup “suit” in your language?

Did you notice that Duolingo calls its World Cup outfits "suits"?

We should note that the costume is NOT just the shirt; it also includes shorts, glasses with lenses showing the country flag, and face paint. It’s a full-body thing!

In the gaming world, I think this would be called a skin?

I think Duolingo calls it a “suit" because it's like the hot dog suit: it’s what Duolingo calls any costume that your avatar wears.

I think in British English, it might be called a “football kit”?

What do you call it in your language?

What’s this seabird?

I saw these at the beach when I was in California a while back, but they’re less common than the usual all-white gulls around. They make a sort of high pitched honking noise and sometimes throw their heads up which always makes me laugh.

Love for Duolingo (consistency 💪)

The biggest thing with any habit formation or learning is consistency. Teaching your brain that “this is what we do every day”. Language learning, working out . . . whatever it might be. Duolingo does this better than anything I’ve ever seen, in almost 50 years of self improvement! 😍🦉
