The vessel is the perfect transportation to experience the archipelago of Indonesia. Lombok and Sumbawa is like sleeping into a history book, people still living like their fore fathers. The Komodo National Park, offer the unique experience of meet the Komodo Dragon, the only place in the world this complex animal exist.
Embarkation at Benoa Harbor Bali, the ship will depart around 9:00 AM. After lunch you visit the traditional Bali Aga village of Tenganan (East Bali). At night, you will cross the famous "Wallace Line" on your way to Lombok. The Strait between Bali and Lombok marks an important ecological boundary, first described by Sir Alfred Russel Wallace, the British naturalist. He noticed that the flora and fauna of the islands to the west are home to Asiatic animal and plant species, whereas the islands to the east of that "line� have a greater similarity to species found in Australia.
We will stop at Lombok Harbour on the Eastern shore of the island to visit a traditional pottery center, several small villages and to witness a traditional dance performance.
You'll set foot on to the little known island of Satonda with its stunning Crater Lake and beautiful coral gardens. Located just a couple of miles off the north-west coast of Sumbawa, Satonda is what remained of an extinct volcano of which the caldera was filled with water when nearby Mount Tambora erupted in 1815. This was the biggest volcanic eruption in the collective memory of mankind, much larger than Krakatoa. With an estimated volume of 160 cubic kilometers of rocks and ash ejected from the volcano the following year became known as the "year without a summer" because of the effect on North American and European weather. A highlight of our visit to Satonda is the sight of many thousands of flying foxes that commute at dusk from the island to feed on the mainland, returning before first light the next day. Immediately after sunset, Ombak Putih leaves for an overnight passage on a course due east.
In Bima on the island Sumbawa you visit the local market and a village where the inhabitants will demonstrate some traditional dances. Most famous is the 'adu kepala' or the ritual head-to-head combat.
We will visit the ranger station of Loh Buaya on Rinca Island. This dry and rugged island is well-known for its diverse wildlife. Apart from Komodo dragons, we may spot monkeys, wild buffaloes and deer. From the top of the hills, the scenery is spectacular. In the evening our crew will prepare an evening beach barbecue and we will enjoy a star studded night sky.

Justice v. Law in Greek Political Thought
Leslie G. Rubin - Contributions by Paul Bullen; Brian Calvert; Tim Collins; William E. Conklin; Patrick J. Deneen; Jill Frank; In Ha Jang; Nick Janszen; Damon Linker; Fred D. Miller Jr.; Joshua Parens; Katherine Philippakis; John T. Scott and Judith Swanson
Do we believe the law good because it is just, or is it just because we think it is good? This collection of essays addresses the relationship of justice to law through the works of Homer, Herodotus, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles and the Islamic thinker al Farabi. The issues explored include the foundations of our understanding of justice; the foundation of authority of law; the relative merits of the rule of law versus the authority of a wise and just king; the uneasy relationship between particular laws and the general notion of justice (equity); various aspects of justice (reciprocity, proportionality) and their application in law; and the necessity of the rule of law to the goodness and success of a political order. The distinguished contributors often make explicit comparisons to modern situations and contemporary debates. This book will be valuable for those interested in classical political theory, political philosophy, and law.

Democracy, EveryPolitician
EveryPolitician: the road ahead
Posted by Lucy 5th July 2017
Posted in Democracy, EveryPolitician
Comments Off on EveryPolitician: the road ahead
This post is by Tony Bowden and Lucy Chambers from the EveryPolitician team. Today we officially launch our collaboration with Wikidata – here's what to expect…
You might have been following the progress: since 2015, through our project EveryPolitician, we've been gathering data for every national legislature in the world, from thousands of sources, and sharing it.
Now, two years on, we've started to see some great results. For example:
It's much easier to build simple Parliament Tracking sites (as mySociety partner organisations have in Zimbabwe and Nigeria). Those running the sites can work on providing information and context to hold politicians accountable — and don't have to worry about wrangling data and software.
Tools that allow citizens to write to their representatives (like Majlis Nameh in Iran, based on the WriteInPublic software, or Oxfam's UK and Australia Campaigning Tool) can now be deployed in days rather than weeks, allowing groups to focus on local customisation.
Vote-tracking sites like TheyVoteForYou in Australia can be more easily adapted to other countries — such as Ukraine, again without worrying about the major task of sourcing the politician data.
Projects that highlight politicians' activity can be augmented to show extra information against those politicians — so for example, Politwoops can show party affiliation next to politicians' tweets.
Investigative journalists can cross-match our lists of politicians to other sources (e.g. investigating shell companies for a recent Private Eye article or with the Panama Papers).
mySociety's collaboration with Facebook makes it easy for people to connect with their newly elected representatives.
All of this is possible because of two main tenets of EveryPolitician: having gathered the data, we structure it consistently, and we share it freely.
Not just current data
We've also discovered that there is a huge value for everyone in retaining historic information, too:
Old data tends to disappear from many official sites, for example, when a new government comes into power and / or when parliaments decide to remodel their websites.
Sometimes even the official sources no longer exist: for example, in Burkina Faso the Parliament building was burned down by protesters in 2014 and many crucial documents were lost.
Research projects and sites run by civil society organisations sometimes run out of funding and have to shut down — meaning that the data people were relying on can vanish overnight.
The future: going one step further
So that's all great, but we think EveryPolitician can do still more to help the worldwide community of Civic Tech coders and activists.
In particular, we want to go beyond data showing who the politicians are, and also provide information on what they do. That's because we can see real value in the ability to answer questions like:
When we look at politicians who vote on issues such as gay marriage, smoking bans, tax on sugary drinks, etc, anywhere in the world — are there any broad correlations like age or gender?
As countries elect more women MPs, do those women also gain equivalent representation in committees? Does this affect attendance and participation rates?
Are there standard political career paths that can be observed anywhere in the world? So for example, do certain Cabinet positions limit future progression; and if so, would it be feasible to spot politicians who are on the way up, or on their way out?
Do politicians who move from the lower to upper house act, and vote, differently?
Do politicians change their voting activity after certain types of intervention, for example after receiving funding from oil companies?
… and there are undoubtedly millions more questions, each one just as interesting and with answers that could enrich our understanding of the world. We are aiming for a future in which each should be answerable within minutes, rather than form the basis of a multi-year post-graduate research project.
How we plan to get there
You may remember our recent proposal to integrate more deeply with Wikidata. We're delighted to say that our proposal was accepted, and that makes EveryPolitician's path very clear.
Wikipedia is fast becoming one of the best sources of political information in many countries: it's often updated more quickly than major news outlets or official parliamentary sites are.
Which is great, but there's an issue when it comes to using that information for projects like the ones we've mentioned above: Wikipedia contains largely unstructured information (that is to say, information that comes in a wide variety of different formats) — as you'd expect from any project with multiple contributors and, often, a free-text input.
There are also a lot of differences between Wikipedias in different countries. Some countries' data (particularly countries where the Wikipedia community is larger) gets updated very quickly. Smaller language Wikipedias can't rely on such a large pool of editors, and it tends to be longer before they are updated.
Additionally, and as you might expect, Wikipedia content will appear fastest in the countries most directly affected by the change being documented, so for example when there are elections in Estonia, the Estonian Wikipedia may show the results almost immediately, but it can take a while for those changes to trickle into all languages.
The solution to all this? We believe it's Wikidata: the structured sibling of Wikipedia. If Wikidata is new to you, there's an easy introduction here and you can also take a tour to learn more.
But of course, nothing's ever quite that simple. While Wikipedia has a wealth of unstructured political information, on Wikidata there's still an awful lot of data missing. You may recall that we recently ran a drive to ensure that every country at least had its head of government entered, but that's just the beginning: in order to answer the kinds of questions we mention above, we really need to ensure there's consistently-structured information for all legislators, all elections… and much more.
What you'll see in the coming months
While we plan for EveryPolitician to retain its own identity and keep its own front end, we're excited to say that over the next few months, we'll be teaming up with Wikidata communities across the world.
Our first objective is see if we can bring Wikidata up to the same level as EveryPolitician for as many countries as possible.
And once we hit that target, we plan to go much further. The beauty of Wikidata is that you can add pretty much any information you want to add to politicians (indeed, to anything!), so local communities can decide for themselves which information is most pertinent and make sure that it's included.
To help us make all of this happen, we're expanding. If you've read this far and you're still finding the project interesting, the chances are you'd be a great addition to the team! We're looking for a new community co-ordinator, working from anywhere in the world (compatible timezones allowing): you can see all the details here.
There are plenty of ways that you can help with this drive to improve the structured information on Wikidata. Here are the obvious ones:
There are active missions always ongoing on the Wikiproject Heads of State and Government. There's one there now – check them out!
Would you be interested in organising a push to Improve Wikidata for your country? Get in touch and we'll do what we can to help.
If this all sounds interesting, but you're not sure where to start, or you're unfamiliar with Wikidata – drop us an email and tell us what you're interested in. We're more than happy to help you get started.

From production methods to corporate models, these blinks will show how far the impact of the auto industry has spread beyond 20th Century factories.
Henry Ford's revolutionary practices produced efficient manufacturing processes and affordable Model Ts that opened up the world to new drivers. Soon afterward, cars began impacting urban planning and commerce.
Now, over a hundred years later, growing environmental awareness and the volatility in gas prices during the last decade have shifted the market. Consumers demand more bang for their buck at the pump. The automotive industry has tried to meet these new needs, creating vehicles that run on gas and electricity. Or they have opted for battery-power entirely, with Tesla leading the way.
So what's the secret to gaining or staying at the top of the fast-paced automotive industry? We take a look at what lies further up the road for car companies and how they can stay ahead of the curve.
For most of the 20th century, American companies dominated car manufacturing. The surging US economy, combined with the assembly lines' efficiency, brought automobiles within reach of many more consumers. Cars became a dominant feature of American culture, fueling the growth of corporations such as Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler.
By the 1980s, Japanese auto manufacturers, notably Toyota, began to champion a leaner production model. Emulating and building upon the innovations of Henry Ford, these companies cut material wastage, further streamlined the building process, and tightened deadlines. These efforts led to a rapidly growing market share. As a result, by 2010, Toyota overtook General Motors as the world's largest automobile manufacturer.
Taking inspiration from these kinds of streamlining, industries from retail to healthcare have incorporated similar processes into their business models. The impacts of this adoption became clear after the global recession in 2008. US companies lost additional ground as their competitors further innovated the methods pioneered by Henry Ford to cater to customers' wants and needs.
Womack, Jones, and Roos provide an in-depth explanation of lean production in their book, which now features a new foreword and afterword. They examine the thinking behind this production model and how it works in the world today, continuing to revolutionize a broad spectrum of sectors and services across the globe.
The global auto industry grapples with a dilemma. Car sales have struggled to escape a slump brought on by the global recession and a growing environmental awareness, especially among younger consumers. Lean production models drive down prices, but do little to generate interest in car ownership these days.
Supplying the market with "green" cars to meet demand is a simple answer that does little justice to a complex reality. Gasoline remains a better energy source compared to the best batteries and previous failures of electric batteries in the past have made some consumers skeptical of the technology. Giving up on gas looks to offer a negligible return-on-investment for the foreseeable future.
Or does it? Gasoline's viability as a long-term fuel source continues to be brought into question. When do you decide to take that leap of faith? If you're Tesla, the answer seems to be "as soon as possible." As a reward for their risk, they overtook Ford's market share earlier this year, leading the way towards what looks to be a new era for the automotive industry.
Whichever direction auto design takes, what we envision the car will look like in the future would be unrecognizable to the designers working 100 years ago. Driverless and eco-friendly vehicles now seem closer to reality than fantasies conjured in science fiction.
The brilliant Levi Tillemann explains how various forces have come into play to shape how we will travel in the future. From automakers' vision, regulations at the national and international levels, and market forces to new technologies.
The automotive industry demonstrates the effects an innovative and visionary personality can have. Henry Ford's drive to create an affordable car led to his implementation of the assembly line. Taiichi Ohno saw where lean production methods could take Toyota and used these practices to become one of the world's leading auto manufacturers. What separates these men from those who took similar risks but did not achieve the same results?
Amy Wilkinson explores this question and seeks to find out how companies stay innovative and competitive.
Consider the example of Tesla. With the American auto industry's "Big Three" of Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler losing ground to competition from Japan and China, it would seem that the US has lost its standing in the automotive world. However, Tesla continues to perform beyond expectation. The company's stock continues to grow along with its customer base.
The secret to this success seems to be in Elon Musk's prescience. Musk envisioned a reliable electric engine when he founded the company in 2003 and he risked immediate market share to develop his idea. Through his efforts, he built a company that was able to ramp up faster when the economy began to recover, while legacy companies struggled to survive or were acquired in mergers.
These successes of young and innovative thinkers can be found across multiple industries and Wilkinson spoke with over 200 leading entrepreneurs in the course of writing this book, gleaning insights into maintaining such a level of dynamic thinking.
By reading about how the automobile industry brought forth novel means of problem-solving to unexpected corners of the economy, we can, perhaps, learn how the capacity exists within us to further develop and change the world.

Jessie Buckley Is About To Take Over Screen
Story from Movies
Wild Rose Star Jessie Buckley Is About To Take Over Your Screen — & Your Headphones
Anne Cohen

From the second we first see Rose-Lynn Harlan (Jessie Buckley) emerge from her prison cell in her white cowboy boots and fringed white leather jacket, her fist raised in a salute to the inmates and guards as she exits towards freedom, we're hooked. Rose Lynn — and Buckley, who plays her in Tom Harper's upcoming Wild Rose — have that kind of magnetic star power, an inimitable quality that makes you care about them instantly.
Set in Glasgow, Scotland, the movie tracks Rose-Lynn as she leaves prison (where she's spent 12 months on a drug charge) to pursue her dream of becoming a bonafide Nashville country music star, all while grappling with her responsibilities as a young mother of two. It's a fresh take on the classic star-is-born myth, a story that the 29-year-old Buckley is more than familiar with. In 2008, the Irish-born singer and actress competed on the BBC TV talent show I'd Do Anything, coming in second in the contest to star in the West End revival of Oliver!. But she made an impression on the judges, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, who said she possessed "the sacred flame of star quality."
It's that same power source that has carried her from a London revival of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music, to critically acclaimed roles in BBC dramas like War & Peace (where she first met Harper) and FX's Taboo (alongside Tom Hardy), to her 2017 film debut in Michael Pearce's Beast, which won a BAFTA for Best Debut by A British Writer/Director/Producer.
Now, Buckley is poised for a major break. Wild Rose is about to hit theaters in the U.S. after being lauded with praise on the festival circuit and in the U.K.. That, combined with her role in HBO's latest must-see mini-series Chernobyl, in which she portrayed the tragic real-life figure of Lyudmilla Ignatenko, promises to carry Jessie Buckley further on the path towards the kind of stardom Lloyd Weber recognized 11 years ago.
On a recent June afternoon before a New York screening of Wild Rose, where Buckley would take the stage to perform original music from the film, she sat down with Refinery29 in the sunny back garden of New York City's PUBLIC Hotel. Ahead, Buckley talks about the film's approach to fame and motherhood, and whether she's been in touch the woman she portrays on Chernobyl.
Refinery29: On I'd Do Anything, you sang "The Man that Got Away," Judy Garland's big song from 1954's A Star Is Born. Did you ever imagine that you would get to live your own version of that story?
Jessie Buckley: "I certainly didn't predict that I would be making a movie when I sang that song. I was just trying to, you know, not be bad. It's been an amazing time, really feeling like an adventure so far. My day-to-day life is normal. Back in London, or back in Kerry I just cycle, swim, cook food, do my washing, pay my taxes too late, or sometimes on time. You know, get spots, get moody, get happy, you know have a dance, everything."
Wild Rose been getting a lot of buzz, and it's about to come out in the U.S. Do you ever worry that might change your life in a really drastic way?
"I think you can invite it to change your life drastically if you want it to. You can make choices to also just keep your feet on the ground. I don't know, is the answer. And, I won't know until it happens, or if it happens. I think I'll still want the same things. Just try and do work that I really believe in, that challenges me, and also just have a normal life."
What was it about this particular film that sealed the deal for you?
"Tom Harper, who I worked with on War & Peace. I just love him, and to get a creative relationship like that is something that you only wish for. When I read the script, I was blown away by the dynamite, and humanity, and rawness and realness of this woman. There's no shame; she's rusty and alive. It's very rare that you get female characters like that front and center."
It's rare to see a woman's story and arc develop completely unrelated to a man.
"She just purely has a shag just cause she needs to have a shag. When she comes out of prison she's like, 'Okay that's out of the way, see you later.' It was so great to be able to work on something where you could focus on the dynamic of mother and daughter, and woman to woman. That's complex and fat, and full in itself. You're looking at yourself in so many ways, and the parts of yourself that you are afraid of."
Courtesy of Neon.
In another movie there would be this separate arc about Rose-Lynn trying to get back together with her children's dad or something.
"Self-acceptance and self-love is the journey, and it's not relying on anybody but yourself. When Nicole wrote the script I think it was like a love letter to Glasgow, bBecause she ran as far away from that town as she could. It was [also] a love letter to her mom, and it was a love letter to country music."
Motherhood is a huge part of this movie. One of my favorite scenes is when Rose-Lynn lies about having kids because she just wants to be to feel like herself for a bit; not someone's mom. People see you very differently if you've had children, especially if like her, you had them young.
"Even when she says those things, it doesn't come without a consequence for her. It does hurt her that she has to say that. But she also doesn't know how else to get out of her pegged system. I'm the eldest of five, and my mom is an amazing woman. She's a harpist and singer, and she grew up in a time where you did have to sacrifice. She could have been an opera singer. She told me that when she was young she was brought over to Nashville to sing at the Grand Ole Opry. Watching this film was really quite emotional for her. We've all just left home this year, and she's gone back to study music psychotherapy in college. She's always been curious about what else is there out in the world for her to grow.
"Life isn't black and white like that, you don't have to box yourself off just because you're a mom, or because you're a dad, or because you've decided at one point in life you're going to become a lawyer. Everybody's got such potential in their life, and we limit ourselves purely based on our fear and judgment of what other people think we're capable of. We've got so much more to explore and to give."
In the climax of the film, Rose-Lynn does have a choice, and it's one that's faced by so many women: She can take care of her sick child, or she can go and have her big moment.
"It's still is something that we need to keep being conscious about. For both men and women, you have to support each other, respect each other. But I'm not a mother, and I can't know [what I'd do] in that moment. It's a very honest, scary, painful place to have to choose from."
Were you always a country fan?
"No, I didn't really have a relationship to it. When I started listening, I found the amazing lyrics in it and the stories of these people. It's so characterful, country music — each song is like a three-minute movie. They've got these amazing scenes of people doing very simple things in their life. When you listen to Bonnie Raitt or Dewey Howard sing these stories, they just come through you and leaves you in a complete mess in the corner, or you're like 'Woo!' telling your ex-boyfriend to never text you again."
Did you have a playlist that you listened to on set?
"Nicole Taylor sent me a big, fat playlist, when I first came on board. I was shooting in Belfast at the time, and every second weekend, I came back to this shed up in North London where the music supervisor Jack Arnold and some of the musicians worked on the film. We all just started playing and figuring out where this was coming from, within roles. I think the first country song I sang was, 'To Daddy' by Emmylou Harris, which is an amazing song. It's really moving. We did part of the album before we shot the film, then all the stuff that we did in the film was live. We did the rest of the album afterwards. I just drowned my ears in country music."
This movie's also very much about class inequality, and how some people, like her boss Susannah, can make things happen with three emails when Rose-Lynn's been hustling for years.
"She says, 'I've been writing to that wee-bastard, and all I've been getting back is BBC pens!' That is the truth. I work in Ireland with this rehabilitation community. It's so hard to remove the stigma of chucking heroin over the fence, and being a mother at a young age. People judge that, you become just that thing. Those stories are important."
And rarely told.
"To be honest, they are much more interesting. I don't care about the woman who can drink bottled water. I want to hear about the person who is sitting at her kitchen table wondering how she ended up not existing in her own life because she was told she wasn't allowed to dream."
Was it difficult to nail the Glaswegian accent?
"I was definitely scared, because I knew if I didn't get it right they would chase me with pitchforks and never let me allowed back into the city. Where [Rose-Lynn] is from is rough, and we actually had to modify [the accent]. Especially [in the U.S.] because nobody understood what I was saying!
"I love doing accents. For me it's a way into character. I look at it like music. It's so crucial to Rose-Lynn's character because it's defiant and direct.It's emotional and it's passionate, and Glasgow as a city is made up by the people that are like that. They'll open up their arms to you, but if you bloody do anything, within five minutes you're in a fist-fight. I totally fell in love with Glasgow and they really opened up their hearts to me."
Did you get to keep the amazing white cowboy boots?
"Yeah I've kept everything. I've got my leather jacket upstairs."
Let's pivot quickly to another project of yours that's recently taken off: Chernobyl. It's become such a thing. Were you surprised?
"It's a political tragic drama! I genuinely am really surprised. When you're filming it you don't ever expect anything of that ever. You're just trying to be good and be true. I knew the quality of the scripts were amazing. Craig Mazin is incredible. IIt's exciting that a story like that can have such resonance with people. I always knew the word Chernobyl, like I knew what happened — the impact that man isn't bigger than nature. The kind of pride and the lies that cost thousands of lives and continue to cost lives. There's grandchildren of Chernobyl being born with deformities and with illnesses because of what happened. I was scared at the responsibility of taking on a story like that."
Especially since your character is based on a real person.
"Yeah, and she's still alive."
Has she reached out to you?
"No, and I get it, it's sensitive. She's got a son. I can only try and comprehend what it must have been like. There's no kind of grief like that, it's horrific. Your husband dies like that in 14 days; something's just taken, stolen from you. It's like a silent war, and nobody understands. There was no Dummies' Guide to Survive Chernobyl."

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov has discussed the situation in Afghanistan with U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Dtate for South and Central Asian Affairs Lynne Tracy and U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense David Sedney.
US withdrawal may push Central Asia toward Russia
Dialogue with the Taliban unavoidable
"At the meeting they mulled the prospects of developments in Afghanistan, the process of the transfer of responsibility for security in the country to Afghan law enforcement bodies, and issues of the withdrawal of the international contingent from Afghanistan. The Russian side expressed concern about the spread of the threats of terrorism and drug trafficking from North Afghanistan to neighboring Central Asian countries which are Russia's partners in CIS and CSTO," a newsletter posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry website on Saturday says.
The ministry also reported on consultations between interdepartmental groups from Russia and the United States on Saturday.
"The U.S. delegation reported the results of its tour of Central Asia, shared evaluations of the situation in the region and the prospects of its development, in particular, in the context of the withdrawal of international contingents from Afghanistan and presidential elections there in 2014," the newsletter says.

And welcome to my new blog!
This is my first ever blogpost, so I am still learning. But I hope you will have as much fun with reading it, as I have writing it.
Today, even though it is raining outside, I am in the best spring mood. So I thought you would enjoy a picture of the only plant, I have not killed yet.
I thought about showing you guys a picture of my new Lego Disney minifigure, Buzz Lightyear, but I have a collection, so I think they will be shown later.
If you have not noticed, I am a bit of a weirdo.. I like comics, Disney, super heroes, sci-fi, Pokémon and cartoons. Which apparently is not normal, according to society.
My blog will be influenced by this. But I still like nail polish, makeup, shoes and cosplay. So if this is something you will enjoy, stay tuned. Off cause this will also be influenced by the nerdy side of me.
I unfortunately need to be a little fitness and health freakish, in my everyday life. Not by my choice, but by my body's. If you do not want to hear about it, I will stop.
My blog will also be used as a shop for my planner business, because I think there is a need for a quirky planner out there.

COLBIE CAILLAT Brings Her "MALIBU SESSIONS" Acoustic Tour To LA's Ford Amphitheater!
Tag: All Access, All Access Music Group, Colbie Caillat, Concert Review, High Dive Heart, John Anson Ford Amphitheatre
On Tuesday, October 11th, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat treated a sold out crowd at LA's 1,200-seat, outdoor amph itheater, the John Anson Ford Amphitheater to an hour and a half of sweet melodic tunes off her newest sixth studio album, "Malibu Sessions." This sunny collection was just released last week under her own independent record label, PlummyLou Records.
It was indeed quite the listening experience as the audience was delighted to learn a lot about the making of the album and fun stories about Colbie's upbringing in between each song. There was also plenty of audience engagement with the performer throughout the brisk evening.
"I've never done an acoustic tour and it's my favorite way to perform, so that was something really exciting about this tour," says Caillat. "Not only that I get to have my best friends and fiancé out there with me but that we get to do it very stripped down."
Before jumping into playing the album beginning to end, Colbie explained how "Malibu Sessions" was recorded and why it was finally released now.
She explained how she spent two months living in a beach house in Malibu with several of her collaborators, including fiancé Justin Young, sister Morgan Caillat Stockmeir, producer John Shanks, frequent co-writer and High Dive Heart member, Jason Reeves and all of their families. They spent every day writing and recording music in the house, walking on the beach and enjoying Malibu cuisine.
"It was an experience I always wanted when I was making an album, because normally you have to drive in traffic in L.A. and it's stressful and the sessions weren't as fun," the singer tells Rolling Stone Country. "But for this, we lived there and we'd wake up, record, go walk the beach, eat lunch, go record again. . . It was such a great experience."
Joined on stage by High Dive Heart married duo, Jason Reeves and Nelly Joy, musician Justin Kawika Young , Colbie breezed through "Malibu Sessions." Songs like "Goldmine", "Cruisin", "Runnin", "Never Got Away" were particularly well received. Caillat mentioned to the crowd that the group listened to a lot of Paul Simon, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Simon and Garfunkle during the making of this album. This was clearly heard in each of the songs.
After playing the entire collection, the group played a few of Colbie's chart toppers like "Realize", "Try", "Bubbly" and "Lucky." A highlight of the show was when an audience member holding a sign that read "My Dream is to Sing With Colbie Caillat" got to join all of them on stage and ultimately have her dream come true and sing with Colbie!

A: Try as below
<file value="D:/ABC.txt" />

assemblyinfo.cs
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "~\\Abc\\xyz\\log4net.config", Watch = true)]

A: Just verified your config - works fine. You probably didn't initialize log4net properly. You should add into AssemblyInfo.cs file:
[assembly: XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)]

Or you can use XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch method or simply
XmlConfigurator.Configure();

Unlike NLog, log4net cannot initialize itself.
NOTES: You should change your date pattern to yyyy-MM-dd'.log' - year and day should be lowercase letters. Also you can write several levels with single appender. There is no need to create two appenders which write to same file.

After Months of Reported Dysfunction, Nasty Gal Lays Off 19 Employees
Filed to:nasty gal
The clothing company Nasty Gal, which is either an inspiring story of #girlboss entrepreneurdom or a really hellish place to work, depending on who you ask, is laying off employees today. Women's Wear Daily reports that 19 people were laid off, or about ten percent of the staff; a source at the company tells Jezebel people have been pulled aside one by one to be let go all day, with at least ten people gone by 2 p.m.
"They got rid of all of the senior buyers, most of the tech and production teams, and creative positions," the source told us.
In a statement to WWD, Nasty Gal CEO Sheree Waterson confirmed the layoffs:
"Today we had to layoff 19 employees as part of a strategic restructuring," said Sheree Waterson, Nasty Gal chief executive officer, in a statement today. "While this was a difficult decision to make, it is necessary and will allow us to continue to evolve as a company."
Nasty Gal previously laid off ten percent of its staff in 2014, the same year founder Sophia Amoruso published Girlboss, the memoir that positioned her as a millennial girl-power business hero. The company raised $16 million C series funding this time last year.
Several recently departed employees told Jezebel in June that the company had become an extremely dysfunctional place to work. The company was sued for allegedly firing several pregnant employees, during or just after their maternity leave. Those cases were settled in a confidential arbitration proceeding; so was the case of an employee who says she was laid off while suffering from advanced kidney failure. The employee, Farah Saberi, alleged that Nasty Gal let her insurance coverage lapse, in violation of her severance agreement, and that her desperately-needed kidney transplant was put on hold by her insurance company due to the lapse.
A current employee told Jezebel this winter that the office environment had grown very tense, with CEO Sheree Waterson delivering screaming tirades almost daily. In one bizarre incident, the employee said, Waterson spent almost a full day "freaking out" about Nasty Gal's downtown office being dirty and trying to clean the refrigerator.
The employee called the environment "emotionally abusive," adding, "Work is a constant fire drill based on Sheree's whims that week. Her expectation is that we should work 7 days a week. There is never positive feedback. Only lectures and insults. What's the opposite of being empowered? Marginalized? Everyone has developed stress related illnesses from shingles to IBS to stress eczema."
"Honestly, things are getting kinda nuts" another current employee agreed at the time. "I love my job, but I hate working for this company... and of course the whole problem lies with upper management."
One of those current employees also said, a little bitterly, that it's tough to watch the world fete Amoruso again for her powerful brand of female leadership while the company, in their perception, drowns.
"It's so ironic to see how much of the world has been drinking the #girlboss kool-aid," she writes in an email. "The actual environment at NG couldn't be any more different from what Sophia portrays to the world."
In October, Amoruso told Entrepreneur that success "is a term you define for yourself. There's no ultimate destination. I've done some things successfully and have done just as many things unsuccessfully. "
Jezebel emailed Nasty Gal's press team, as well as Amoruso and Waterson individually, for comment and will update if we hear back.

Justice Department watchdog debunks Trump's claims about the Russia probe
Washington DC (USA) Dec 11: A sweeping report released Monday by the Justice Department's internal watchdog debunked several key claims and conspiracy theories that President Donald Trump repeatedly used to attack the Russia investigation that overshadowed much of his presidency.
The 476-page report from the Justice Department's inspector general, an independent internal watchdog who is respected across the political spectrum, demonstrates how Trump relied on unsubstantiated theories and blatant falsehoods to hammer away at the Russia investigation.
At the same time, the review did uncover serious problems with some elements of the probe, such as the surveillance of a Trump campaign aide. These findings give Trump enough material to claim victory. On Monday he said the report was "'far worse than I would have ever thought possible."
The inspector general, Michael Horowitz, was appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed without opposition in the Senate in 2012. He has previously worked under Republican administrations and is respected in Washington as an apolitical fact-finder.
Here's how the report assessed seven Trump claims about the Russia investigation.
Claim: The Russia probe shouldn't have been opened
In July 2016, amid a flurry of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russians, the FBI launched an investigation codenamed "Crossfire Hurricane," which is now generally referred to as the Russia investigation. That probe was later inherited by special counsel Robert Mueller, who uncovered dozens of additional contacts but didn't find a conspiracy of election collusion.
Throughout his presidency, Trump claimed the Russia probe was an "illegal witch hunt" with no legitimate basis. When Mueller wrapped up in March, Trump said it was "an investigation that should have never happened." He also said the probe was "a waste of time for our country."
Facts First: Trump was wrong -- the Russia investigation was justified. The inspector general concluded there was "sufficient" evidence for the FBI to open the investigation in July 2016.
According to the report, the FBI launched the investigation after receiving a tip from a trusted foreign government that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had early knowledge of Russian election meddling. (The country wasn't named in the report, but it was Australia.)
"Given the low threshold" to open an investigation under Justice Department guidelines, the information from the Australians "was sufficient to predicate the investigation," the report said.
"This information provided the FBI with an articulable factual basis that, if true, reasonably indicated activity constituting either a federal crime or a threat to national security, or both, may have occurred or may be occurring," the report said, adding that the investigations into Trump campaign associates Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and Carter Page were similarly justified.
Claim: The Steele dossier triggered the investigation
Another flashpoint in the Russia investigation was the role of the "Steele dossier," a collection of private intelligence memos written by retired British spy Christopher Steele. The memos alleged that Trump's campaign was coordinating with Russian operatives to win the 2016 election. The FBI got its hands on some of Steele's reporting during the early stages of the Russia probe.
Trump has exaggerated the role of the dossier, falsely claiming that it was why the FBI opened the Russia investigation in July 2016. Trump said the dossier was used to "start things," and later tweeted that "the entire Russian probe is based" on Steele's work. He also claimed the dossier "was responsible for starting the totally conflicted and discredited Mueller Witch Hunt."
This claim was already disproven by Mueller and a report from House Republicans, which both said the Russia probe was launched because of the Papadopoulos tip -- not the dossier.
Facts First: Trump's false claim about the origins of the Russia investigation was refuted yet again. The inspector general's report said unequivocally that FBI officials hadn't even seen Steele's memos when they opened the investigation.
The inspector general said he reviewed more than 1 million documents and interviewed more than 100 witnesses, and didn't find anything to indicate that "any other information" beyond the Papadopoulos tip, "was relied upon to predicate the opening of the (Russia) investigation."
Additionally, the report said the FBI officials who opened the probe "did not become aware of Steele's election reporting until weeks later and we therefore determined that Steele's reports played no role in the Crossfire Hurricane opening," referring to the investigation's codename.
Claim: Top FBI officials were biased against Trump
When the investigation was launched, it was overseen by FBI Director James Comey, his deputy Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok, who led the FBI's counterintelligence section.
All three men were embroiled in controversies: Comey for his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, McCabe for possibly lying in a past inspector general review, and Strzok for exchanging anti-Trump text messages with an FBI lawyer. (McCabe is now a CNN contributor.)
Trump accused all three men of "corruption," and said their scandals were proof that the Russia investigation was motivated by political bias. Last year, he said, "the top people were horrible, you look at what happened, they were plotting against my election." He also said the collusion allegations against his campaign were "all made up by this den of thieves and lowlifes."
The President has also vilified former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who had an affair with Strzok, and also expressed anti-Trump sentiments, while they were involved in the Russia investigation. Page broke her silence last week, calling Trump's comments "sickening" and "intimidating."
Facts First: The report exonerated top FBI officials and eviscerated Trump's accusation that they orchestrated a political take-down because they didn't want him to win the election.
"While Strzok was directly involved in the decisions to open Crossfire Hurricane and the four individual cases (into Papadopoulos, Flynn, Manafort and Page), he was not the sole, or even the highest-level, decision maker as to any of those matters," the report concluded.
Despite Trump's relentless attacks against Comey and McCabe, they weren't even part of the decision to open the investigation. That fell on Strzok's boss, assistant FBI director Bill Priestap.
"We concluded that Priestap's exercise of discretion in opening the investigation was in compliance with Department and FBI policies, and we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced his decision," the report said.
The watchdog also found that Page "attended some of the discussions regarding the opening of the investigations" but "she did not play a role in the decision" to launch any of the probes.
Claim: The FISA warrants against Page were improper
While Trump exaggerated the role of the dossier, it's true that the controversial memos influenced the Russia probe. Steele had worked with the FBI before, and the bureau included some of his information in an October 2016 application to wiretap Page. Federal judges approved the warrant, under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA for short.
Trump and Page decried the surveillance, even though it was court-approved. Trump claimed it was "illegal" and an example of "potentially massive FISA abuse."
Trump also said there was "little doubt that the Department of Justice and FBI misled the courts" that granted the warrants.
"They used him to try and spy on the campaign," Trump said earlier this year, referring to Page, even though Page had cut ties with the campaign before the first FISA application was filed.
Facts First: This might be where Trump was most accurate. The report said there wasn't proof that the FISA process was motivated by political bias, but there were serious errors and mistakes with how the applications were prepared. For one, the FBI omitted exculpatory information from the FISA court, which could have affected the decision to approve the surveillance.
The US government surveilled Page for nearly a year. The first FISA was granted in October 2016, and the FISA court approved three renewals. The inspector general said his exhaustive review unearthed "significant inaccuracies and omissions in each of the four applications."
"We found that members of the Crossfire Hurricane team failed to meet the basic obligation to ensure that the Carter Page FISA applications were scrupulously accurate," the report said.
The report slammed a low-level FBI lawyer who altered an email that affected the FISA process. Before 2016, Page had provided information to a US intelligence agency about his Russian contacts. But the FBI lawyer doctored an email to say that Page was "not a source" for the government, so Page's past work for the US was never disclosed in the FISA applications.
That FBI lawyer, who was not named in the report, is currently under criminal investigation.
This was perhaps the most damaging section of the report for the bureau. FBI Director Chris Wray said in a letter released Monday that he was ordering more than 40 "corrective steps" to fix the problems.
Claim: The FBI tried to infiltrate the Trump campaign
In addition to FISA surveillance, the FBI used informants to secretly question people associated with the Trump campaign who were under investigation for their Russian ties. One informant, Cambridge professor Stefan Halper, met with Page and Papadopoulos in 2016.
Attorney General Bill Barr has said this all meant the FBI was "spying" on the Trump campaign. Trump gave the controversy a nickname -- "spygate" -- and spread the questionable allegations on Twitter and in interviews, saying it was "probably one of the great criminal acts of all time."
The President went one step further. He claimed, without evidence, that an FBI informant was "implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign." Last year, he publicly asked the Justice Department to determine whether the FBI "infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes," and suggested that it may have been ordered by the Obama administration.
Facts First: These claims from the President were debunked by the inspector general report. The review found "no evidence" that the FBI placed informants or spies within the Trump campaign, and that the FBI wasn't biased when it did use informants as part of the probe.
"We found no evidence that the FBI placed any (confidential human sources) or (undercover employees) within the Trump campaign or tasked any (confidential human sources) or (undercover employees) to report on the Trump campaign," the report concluded.
The inspector general also "did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the FBI's decision" to use informants to interact with Page, Papadopoulos or another top Trump campaign official who was not named in the report.
Claim: Mifsud secretly worked for US intelligence
The FBI investigation began after the Papadopoulos tip. He bragged to a foreign diplomat that he knew Russia was willing to help the Trump campaign by releasing damaging emails about Clinton. The diplomat passed that information to the FBI in July 2016, and the rest is history.
Papadopoulos knew about the Clinton emails because he was told by Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese professor with "substantial connections" to the Kremlin, according to the Mueller report.
But Papadopoulos and Trump-friendly news outlets have pushed an alternate narrative. They claim Mifsud was actually working for US intelligence agencies during his interactions with Papadopoulos, and that he mentioned the Clinton dirt as a ploy to entrap the Trump campaign.
On two occasions this year, Trump re-tweeted video clips containing some of these theories. Papadopoulos has tweeted about it more than a dozen times, calling Mifsud a "CIA/FBI asset."
Facts First: Zero credible evidence has emerged to back up these conspiracy theories. The inspector general found "no evidence" that Mifsud was working for the FBI in any capacity.
The inspector general said his team reviewed the FBI's "Delta files," which contain records on all FBI informants. When they looked for Mifsud, they came up empty, the report said.
"The FBI's Delta files contain no evidence that Mifsud has ever acted as an FBI (confidential human source), and none of the witnesses we interviewed or documents we reviewed had any information to support such an allegation," according to the inspector general report.
The review also found no information indicating that "Mifsud's discussions with Papadopoulos were part of an FBI operation." CNN previously reported that the inspector general consulted with US intelligence agencies and John Durham, the US attorney whom Barr tasked to also review the Russia probe, and still couldn't find any information to back up these claims.
Claim: Bruce Ohr acted as a backchannel to Steele
As the Russia investigation intensified last year, Trump turned his fire against Bruce Ohr, a career Justice Department official who is known for taking on Russian organized crime.
The little-known official was suddenly in the spotlight because of his connections to Steele, which predated the Russia investigation. Before the election, Ohr brought some of Steele's information about Trump to the FBI, even though he wasn't working on the Russia investigation. Not only that, but Ohr's wife worked for the company that hired Steele to write the dossier.
"Bruce Ohr is a disgrace, with his wife Nellie," Trump said on the White House lawn last year. "For him to be in the Justice Department, and to be doing what he did, that is a disgrace." The President also called Ohr a "creep" and accused him of "helping... Steele find dirt on Trump."
Facts First: The inspector general criticized Ohr's actions and said he made "consequential errors in judgment." He was demoted in 2017 for not reporting his contacts with Steele. But those interactions had no impact on the start of the Russia probe, as previously explained.
Ohr's first mistake was "failing to advise his direct supervisors" that he was communicating with Steele, "and then requesting meetings with the FBI's Deputy Director and Crossfire Hurricane team on matters that were outside of his areas of responsibility," the report determined.
Secondly, Ohr erred by "making himself a witness in the investigation by meeting with Steele and providing Steele's information to the FBI," according to the inspector general report.

For reasons unknown, Buster KeatonBuster Keaton did not receive a directing credit, although all involved in the film concur that he co-directed the film.
Marion ByronMarion Byron could not swim, so the scenes where her character is in the river with Buster KeatonBuster Keaton were filmed with Buster's real-life sister Louise KeatonLouise Keaton serving as Marion's stunt double. The two were both the same size - 4'11". The water was very cold and during a day of filming Buster and Louise consumed 4-5 glasses of French brandy to keep them warm.
This and The General are generally considered by critics to be Buster KeatonBuster Keaton's last great films. Shortly after these two were made, the independent-minded Keaton made the mistake of signing a contract with MGM, whose regimented ways clashed with his scrupulous perfectionism. Five years after MGM hired him, it dropped his contract and Keaton drifted into obscurity, complicated by a severe drinking problem, from which he didn't emerge for many years.
During the hurricane sequence, there is a scene that pays homage to Buster KeatonBuster Keaton's childhood on the vaudeville stage. One brief moment has a table move in the wind, apparently animating the dummy and turning its head to face Keaton. Keaton is startled and runs. This is based on a real experience from when he was a kid and became fascinated with a dummy named Red Top, who belonged to ventriloquist [?] Trovollo. The young Keaton had a "conversation" with the dummy and conspired to kidnap his new friend one night when the theater was empty. Trovollo, anticipating Keaton, slipped to his props offstage and when Keaton approached, brought Red Top to life, scaring Keaton out of the theater.
The hat that Buster KeatonBuster Keaton quickly removes from his head and hands back to the clerk with a frown is Keaton's own trademark porkpie hat.
This movie was used as a model for Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse's first cartoon with sound.
The stunt where the wall falls on Buster KeatonBuster Keaton was performed with an actual full-weight wall. Half the crew walked off the set rather than participate in a stunt that would have killed Keaton if he had been slightly off position. Keaton himself, told the previous day that his studio was being shut down, was so devastated that he didn't care if the wall crushed him or not.

New York, 3 March 2016– As the world marks the third World Wildlife Day under the theme "The future of wildlife is in our hands", the United Nations announced today plans for a Global Coalition campaign to end the illegal trade in wildlife.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called on UN agencies, CITES and partners to provide a coordinated response to wildlife crime and spread the message that there should be zero tolerance for poaching.
"Time is running out to save some of the world's most iconic species," he said. "Much more needs to be done by key actors on all continents and across sectors to combat poaching and address both the demand and supply of illegal wildlife products."
Driven by growing demand for illegally sourced wildlife products, the illicit trade has in recent years escalated into a global environmental crisis, pushing several species to the brink of extinction.
It is estimated that rhino poaching in South Africa has increased by as much as 8,000 per cent between 2007 and 2014.
The pangolin, also known as the scaly anteater, is considered to be the most trafficked mammal on earth, with over a million animals taken from the wild in the past decade.
Trade in live great apes, such as chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, is also of concern, especially as for every live animal illegally taken from the wild there are many more killed during capture and transport.
The global effort to end illegal trade in wildlife received a boost last year, as the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution urging member states to classify illicit trafficking in wildlife as a serious criminal offence. This year, the UN calls for strong political commitments to be put into action through collective efforts of governments and citizens around the world.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has made substantial progress to combat illegal trade in ivory through the preparation, implementation and review of National Ivory Action Plans by 19 key countries affected by the illicit trade.
In May 2015, the cross-continent Operation Cobra III brought together enforcement agencies from range, transit and destination countries, resulting in 139 arrests and more than 247 seizures, which included elephant ivory, medicinal plants, rhino horns, pangolins and many more.
But more remains to be done. According to the latest analysis of illegal killing of elephants for 2015 released today by the CITES Secretariat, the overall poaching levels of African elephants remains alarmingly high.
The Global Coalition campaign announced today is a joint effort by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), CITES and other partners.
The campaign will call on individuals, businesses, civil society and academia to use their spheres of influence to end the illicit trade in wildlife and for governments to meet and scale up their recent commitments.
Global celebration of World Wildlife Day in New York also saw the announcement of the winners of the International Elephant Film Festival, selected from over 250 entries in 7 categories. Supporting the day's sub-theme "The future of elephants is in our hands", the winning movies will be screened around the world throughout 2016.
Poaching and the illegal trade in wildlife have reached unprecedented levels. As few as 3,200 tigers exist in the wild today. In the last few years, over 100,000 elephants were poached in Africa. Some rhino populations face extinction. The disappearance of individual species threatens biodiversity, and by extension the life support systems on our planet. Our responsibility is to look after wildlife. World Wildlife Day is a call to become more informed and more involved in stopping this crime against nature, communities and future generations.
"World Wildlife Day is both an opportunity to celebrate wildlife biodiversity and a strong reminder that the illegal trade in wildlife is devastating iconic species. This vile trade threatens human security, community well-being, economic development, and environmental integrity. UNDP and its partners are committed to stopping wildlife poaching and trafficking."
"An integrated approach against wildlife and forest crime is needed to reduce demand and interrupt supply through the seizure of shipments, assets and proceeds. Help must also be offered to local communities to provide alternative livelihoods, build local enterprises and to empower communities to live in harmony with their surroundings. The future of wildlife is in our hands, but if we are to be successful against the criminals those hands must be joined in proud partnership and close cooperation."
"The current wildlife crisis is not a natural phenomenon – unlike a drought, a flood or a cyclone. It is the direct result of people's actions. People are the cause of this serious threat to wildlife and people must be the solution, which also requires us to tackle human greed, ignorance and indifference. Today we are seeing a global collective effort to end wildlife trafficking. Across every continent governments and citizens are tackling both demand and supply – making wildlife crime much riskier and far less profitable."
"World Wildlife Day this year reminds us of the power and privilege we have as humans to care for the special and unique wildlife that inhabits our planet with the theme 'The Future of Wildlife is in Our Hands'.
"The outcome is in OUR hands and I ask everyone to stand up and move towards action. This means different things to different people - but essentially, we have to have no poaching, buying, gift-giving or selling of illegal wildlife products, anywhere. "
On 20 December 2013, the sixty-eighth session of the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed March 3, the day of the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), as UN World Wildlife Day. This special day provides the ideal opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora, recall the privileged interactions between wildlife and populations across the globe, and raise awareness of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime, which has wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts.
Established in 1997 through a merger between the United Nations Drug Control Programme and the Centre for International Crime Prevention, UNODC is a global leader in the fight against illicit drugs and international crime, operating in all regions of the world through an extensive network of field offices. UNODC is mandated to assist Member States in their struggle against illicit drugs, crime and terrorism. In the Millennium Declaration, Member States also resolved to intensify efforts to fight transnational crime in all its dimensions, to implement the commitment to counter the world drug problem and to take concerted action against international terrorism.
CITES - the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora - is an international agreement between governments. With 182 Parties, CITES remains one of the world's most powerful tools for biodiversity conservation through the regulation of international trade in wild fauna and flora. Thousands of species are internationally traded and used by people in their daily lives for food, housing, health care, ecotourism, cosmetics or fashion. CITES regulates international trade in over 35,000 species of plants and animals, including their products and derivatives, ensuring their survival in the wild through strictly regulating legal trade and combating illegal trade.

The application of animal manure to farmland is an appropriate and environmentally sound management practice for most feedlot operators. Land application returns nutrients from manure to the soil and helps build and maintain soil fertility. In addition to containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, manure contains trace "elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. Manure has also been shown to improve soil tilth, increase water-holding capacity, lessen wind and water erosion and improve aeration. Land application of manure should be viewed as a means to utilize crop nutrients present in the manure for crop production rather than utilizing the land as a means of disposal.
The economic value of feedlot manure as fertilizer is usually calculated on the basis of its N, P2O5, and K2O content. Manure containing significant amounts of runoff or dilution water may also serve as an irrigation water source where needed. Although the nutrient content of this water is usually low, it should be regarded as a fertilizer source. In such cases, calculation of the value of the manure and wastewater for crop production must include both the nutrient and water value.
A number of factors must be considered when determining the amount of manure each soil is capable of handling without damage to the soil and to the surrounding environment. These factors include soil type, topography of the land, cropping system, and the nutrient and salt content of the manure and wastewater to be applied.
The rate of manure and wastewater application depends upon whether one wants to maximize the recovery of plant nutrients or the amount of manure that can be applied per unit of land area. Where an adequate land base exists, all attempts should be made to maximize nutrient recovery by application rates consistent with crop utilization rates. However, where a large concentration of cattle is maintained on a relatively small land base, manure application rates may be designed to maximize the application rate while avoiding any deleterious effects on the land.

Warp Records celebrates 30th anniversary with four special covers of Mixmag magazine
by George Garner
December 9th 2019	at 7:18AM
Mixmag has today (December 9) confirmed its January 2020 issue will be a special celebration of 30 years of electronic music label Warp Records.
The Warp XXX/Mixmag takeover will feature four magazine covers dedicated to Warp artists Aphex Twin, Yves Tumor, Kelela and Flying Lotus. The designs were done in collaboration with Warp XXX's graphic designer Michael Oswell and multidisciplinary digital artist Ezra Miller.
It will mark the first time the Wasted Talent-owned title has released an issue with four separate covers.
Speaking to Music Week about the project, Mixmag editor Duncan Dick said: "2019 has been a year when electronic music's influence on art and culture – from Jeremy Deller's Everybody Is In The Place, to the Saatchi Gallery's Sweet Harmony exhibition, to movies like Beats – has resonated like never before. To cap it all off, we pursued the opportunity for Mixmag to team up with Warp for their 30th anniversary and collaborate on something that would showcase the label's visual aesthetic as much as celebrating their music."
Dick added that he hoped the collaboration would be a showcase of the power of print media.
"It's hopefully also a timely reminder of the way that magazines can work as a visual medium for art and photography in a way that's so much more magical than seeing something on a screen," said Dick. "It's the first time we've done four separate covers, and the first time we've relinquished so much creative control over our iconic cover and masthead, but it was great to team up with an electronic music institution whose history stretches back almost as far as our own (Mixmag was founded in 1983) and with cutting edge visual artists like the brilliant Michael Oswell and Ezra Miller. With so much of their traditional content now delivered by digital and social media, I believe music magazines have to try to create something unique and collectible and innovative every single month in order to be relevant. Hopefully with the help of Warp and Michael and Ezra we have done just that."
In what can only be described as a charismatic statement issued to Music Week, Warp Records' Michael Oswell added: "Mixmag has been successfully absorbed into the hyperstitional fiction of WXAXRXP. A network of artificial intelligences determined to preserve the possibility of life's survival on the planet. A beautiful purple future that starts with you. We are the reasonable people. Tories out. Nazis fuck off. '89–infinity."
The 2020 issue of Mixmag, available December 12, will also round up the tracks, albums, stars and DJs of 2019, and feature club photography by Turner Prize winning artist Wolfgang Tillmans.
The new edition of Music Week includes an interview with dance music guru Simon Dunmore.

Q: How to make a scrollable div expand to full height on scroll and click I'm looking to update the below section if possible.
I need to have a div 250px high but lets you scroll through all of the content. Once you have scrolled to the bottom of the 250px window, it automatically expands to show the full content.
Also there would be a button below which if clicked expanded the section if you don't scroll down.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I can only get it to expand when you click on the window at present.
https://codepen.io/sharpy24ws/pen/QWWrOoz
div {
width: 100%;
height: 250px;
background: #ccc;
overflow-y: auto;
}

#container{
margin:0px auto;
border:1px solid red;
}

#container div{
position:relative;
float:left;
margin-right:5px;
}
#container div span{
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
right:0;
}

$(window).load(function(){
$("div").css("overflow", "hidden");
$('div').click(function() {
$(this).animate({
height: '100vh'
})
})
});

A: Here is what you can do, to show full content on click of button:
  $(window).load(function(){
      // container will be your div which you want to expand on click of button.
      $("#container").css("overflow", "hidden");
      $("#container").css("height", "250px");

    // expand-button will be button which will let you expand container on click.
    $('#expand-button').click(function() {
      $("#container").css("height", "auto")
    })
});

And for scroll end you can do this:

*

*Here I've used document as an scrolling container, you can use your own if scroll isn't whole page scroll.

window.onscroll = function() {
  var d = document.documentElement;
  var offset = d.scrollTop + window.innerHeight;
  var height = d.offsetHeight;

  console.log('offset = ' + offset);
  console.log('height = ' + height);

  if (offset === height) {
    console.log('At the bottom');
  }
};

I Hope this will help you.

A: Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Unfortunately i'm a bit of a novice with JS, so i'm not sure how to implement it properly.
What would I need the button or link format to be to expand the area?
https://codepen.io/sharpy24ws/pen/YzzLYra
  $(window).load(function(){
  // container will be your div which you want to expand on click of button.
  $("#container").css("overflow", "hidden");
  $("#container").css("height", "250px");

// expand-button will be button which will let you expand container on click.
$('#expand-button').click(function() {
  $("#container").css("height", "auto")
})
});

Would it be something like the?
Click me
Kind Regards.

A: Copy and paste this and run once.
