Operation Big Bull: 'Botched Rescue' led to death of bull?
Mangaluru, September 07, 2018: The story of the stray bull of Panambur with a huge tumour on its head came to a sad end with the bull reportedly dying in a botched rescue operation undertaken by the state Animal Husbandry department on Wednesday. According to reports, the Animal Husbandry department had made a final attempt to capture the elusive bull in the wee hours of the morning and succeeded in manually administering sedative while it was sleeping.
When the bull continued to struggle, they tried to hold it down with ropes. In the process, it smashed it head against a pillar when its tumour burst and began to bleed. The animal was then subdued and taken to the veterinary poly clinic on Jail Road, where it finally succumbed to its ordeal. It was subsequently taken to a cow shelter at Pajir and buried after conducting post mortem. During post mortem over 15 kilos of junk items like plastic, ropes and metal wires were found. The official cause of death is 'respiratory failure'. But there are contradictory reports which claim that the bull actually died to due to excessive bleeding as the rescue operation was poorly planned and the veterinary team did not even have the basic requirements for dealing with such eventuality.
The bull which is said have suffered from cancer of the horn had elicited much curiosity and sympathy from the public. Posts concerning its pitiable condition were being widely shared in social media. It was estimated to be about 10 years old, the normal lifespan being about 15 years.
After the bull starting making news the Animal Husbandry department had written to the Deputy Commissioner of the district on Monday seeking permission to form a committee to capture the animal and provide it with treatment. On Tuesday morning an attempt to sedate the beast using tranquilizer darts failed. Though the dart hit the target, the dosage of the sedative proved to be insufficient. When the situation threatened to get out of hand, the mission was abandoned.
On Wednesday morning when some locals spotted the bull sleeping in an easily accessible position, they alerted the department officials. In response, the officials rushed to the spot with four veterinarians in attendance. This time they were able to get close enough to the animal to administer the sedative manually. Things went horribly wrong after this and eventually resulted in the animal's death within a matter of a few hours.
Dr. Mohan Reddy, Deputy Director of the Animal Husbandry department, is very clinical in his explanation for the unforeseen outcome of the rescue operation. "The bull eventually died of respiratory failure. It was born and brought up in an industrial area and it had been exposed to all sorts of human activities. During post mortem we found that much of the contents of its stomach were foreign objects like plastic, ropes, wires and Nandini milk pouches. Its lungs had developed fibrosis, which is an irreversible disease, and it also had carcinoma.
Both vets agree that with its given critical health condition, it would not have lived long. As for the tumour burst during its capture, Dr. Mohan Reddy says though the scenario it might look shocking, it is nothing serious to worry about. It's the animal's underlying health condition which is really to blame for its death.
News of the death of the bull came as a surprise to all. While Animal Care Trust (ACT) curtly acknowledged in its Facebook post that Animal Husbandry department had taken up the matter, its Rescue In-charge Tauseef Ahmed wrote on his FB wall that he was heartbroken by the death of the bull. "We were neither informed nor involved in the process so the regret is even more horrible," he wrote indicating a sense of hurt that they had been kept in the dark. The NGO which had been following the case of the bull last few months also deflected any enquiries saying they were unaware of any further developments.
Animal lovers of the city were visibly angry and skeptical, with some even suspecting that the department only wanted to get rid of the bull because it was drawing a lot of negative publicity. Many animal lovers took to Facebook to grieve. Some felt that death could have been averted. "The utter failure was because of lack of planning. Catch the bull dead or alive seems to have been the motive from the beginning," said one.
Animal lovers are known to be sensitive in their approach to the creatures. It would be too much for anyone to expect the same talent and extraordinary commitment from appointed officials. Distrust of the government apparatus is also commonplace across Indian society. Government system, by its very nature, suffers from a great many restrictions and limitations. Public-private partnership (PPP) had come as a solution to overcome some the lacunae of the government sector. At Government Wenlock Hospital for example, the PPP model, which involves active engagement with NGOs and voluntary organizations, has led to huge tangible benefits for the patients and improved healthcare indices. Animal Husbandry department could consider adopting similar strategies to increase its success rate in the future.
The department may not be entirely at fault as is made out to be. They might have simply followed the rule book. And as the eminent vets say, the bull may really have not had long to live anyway. But the way in which it went could have been better.

There are two types of people in this world: those who consume information and those who produce it. Eva Harvell is a master at the latter.
As her district's technology integrator, Harvell helps teachers integrate technology into their classrooms. Her latest project is getting K-4 teachers on board with Google Apps for Education. She began last summer with full-day, hands-on trainings that covered how to use Google Calendar and Google Drive. The trainings continued and within six months the teachers were hooked. "Our teachers are using Google Drive to share ideas and resources for weekly lessons and to collaborate on classroom presentations. Some are starting to dive into using Google Forms and Google Docs amongst themselves and their students." Recently, 5th- and 6th-grade students have started using Google Drive to create and share presentations for their science fair projects.
But Harvell isn't just spreading the tech gospel at her district. She's an accomplished presenter at local and regional conferences and was asked to do a two-hour workshop at FETC 2014. "I enjoy being a presenter because it allows me to share my passion and guide the attendees in gaining new technology ideas and resources. I also get to be a participant and gain new knowledge that I can bring back to my district," she says.

Winter Cold — it's that time of year again!
sounds of constant sniffling and coughing can be heard wherever you go. It's that time of the year again when the common cold reigns and nobody seems to be able to escape its mighty grip.
I thought I was smart by moving to a warmer country, but within days I had a runny nose and was getting through one pack of tissues a day. It seems that wherever you are, Autumn brings with it pumpkins, falling leaves and Halloween, but also a serious case of the sniffles.
The bad news is that it is unlikely that we will ever be totally immune to the common cold. There are more than 200 viruses, each causing a different type of cold. This makes it difficult to develop effective vaccines. The rhinovirus and coronavirus are usually the ones that cause the most misery. Fortunately, most colds clear up by themselves in a week or two, but still this minor illness causes major discomfort and can be quite costly. Desperate times call for desperate measures and people end up spending a great deal of money on over-the-counter medicine that only offer temporary relief, but don't actually attack the specific virus.
You could go through life wearing a surgical mask, if you don't mind strange looks on the streets or at the office. Though research has shown that wearing a mask might help to some degree however, it is only effective alongside with washing your hands regularly.
While it's impossible to live in a germ-free bubble, there are some ways to keep the cold away. The most common way of catching a cold is by inhaling the virus after a person sneezes or coughs or by touching a contaminated surface such as a door handle and then touching your face. You've probably heard this a million times, but the most effective way of keeping a cold at bay is washing your hands regularly and trying to keep your hands away from your face.
As simple as this may sound, most people wash their hands for less than 10 seconds, which is half the recommended time. If you're out of soap, use hand sanitizer. Also you might want to refrain from using an electric dryer for drying your hands and use a paper towel instead.
Although the idea of sitting in your duvet cocoon during the winter months does sound appealing, if you want to avoid becoming a hermit in your own house you should really get moving. Exercise does not only do wonders for your physique, but it also helps strengthen your immune system.
Eat chicken soup: Your granny was right, chicken soup is not only good for the soul, but it's also a perfect remedy for treating a nasty cold. Research has shown that the broth reduces inflammation. Chicken soup also increases the mucus flow which can ease congestion. Also just like any other liquids it prevents dehydration.
Slice an onion: Before you go to bed cut an onion into quarters and put it on a plate at your bedside. The strong odour of the onion helps to break up the mucus and purifies the air. Some people swear by putting a sliced up onion in their socks, but each to their own. As you sleep, the healing powers of the onion remove the toxins in your body.
Gargle: When you're having a sore throat, try gargling with warm salt water. Salt water helps to kill the bacteria in the throat and soothes a sore throat. Dissolve 1\2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water (just remember not to swallow it!) Putting honey in your tea is another great way of soothing the throat.
Take a steamy shower: The steam of the shower helps to open up your sinus passages.
Eucalyptus oil: Using a few drops of eucalyptus oil is another great way of opening up the sinuses.
So remember: wash your hands, stock up on chicken soup and get moving! What do you do when you've got a case of the sniffles?

"I grew up knowing that if you went to an auto plant you would instantly be in the middle class, because the UAW fought for workers to earn wages that would help them support their families, send their children to college and make a difference in their communities," Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence told CAP delegates.
In an impassioned speech, Lawrence recalled past decades when organized labor paved the way for laws and programs that helped to create economic and social justice for America's families.
If things are going to change for the better in this country, organized labor must have a seat at the table, Congressman Mark Pocan told UAW CAP delegates Monday. That means that UAW members are essential to what can turn things around on issues such as fair trade, immigration and workers' rights.
The burden for change falls on organized labor – the people who have fought, marched and put pressure on elected officials for laws and programs that have kept workers safe on their jobs, kept their communities strong and ensured that there was democracy in the workplace.
After 19 previous wins, it came as no surprise that UAW Region 5 members won this year's V-CAP award.
The award was presented by UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW Secretary-Treasurer Gary Casteel to Region 5 Director Gary Jones, whose region raised more than $2 million.
And, as it has happened all 19 times, more than 1,100 CAP delegates cheered Region 5 members as Jones accepted the award on their behalf.
It's been two years since members of Local 42 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, voted to join our union, but with a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) now dominated by anti-union members, they continue to be denied their rights, UAW President Dennis Williams told union political activists Sunday.


There are times when I deliberately choose the long way around. I would say it is for the pure pleasure of physical engagement but that wouldn't be entirely true and my left shoulder would agree. Mostly, I suppose, it is about getting to know a place that has me on my knees – with knee-pads, screwdriver, old palette knife, steel wool, a couple of rags and the most important ingredient – paste wax.
It all began when I was taking off some old duct tape glue left behind on the 1925 fir flooring. Can guess what happened? Well, that spot looked so nice, I started in the far corner and started working my way across the room. This morning I am about three-quarters of the way finished and hope to be done by noon. We shall see what my shoulder and wrists have to say about the timeline, may take until Friday. But it does feel good! As I work I draft things in my head like a page on the website for the new Terrill Welch Gallery. I think about how the hanging gear is going to go up. I muse about all the people who have shared this little piece of land in the past… it is a long list and mostly unrecorded. I watch how the light moves around the room and know I am not the first and hopefully won't be the last to enjoy it. I make mental notes on the other artists whose work I would to see having a conversation with mine in the months to come. These are good enough reasons to rub the wax on and rub the excess wax off the floor, by hand.
Oh, I still wonder off for our walks most days. Dinners still need to be cooked and clean laundry is hung out to dry. Plein air painting still happens and the bills get paid. Yet, part of me feels like this arbutus tree who has out grown its bark and the underside is green and fresh. I am still the same tree but a new skin is surfacing.
If you were to outgrow your current skin, what would be underneath?
I can only image the history and memories that such a space may hold and share. It is your nature to be "part" of the experience, I believe, it allows you to "know" the place.
I am not sure what I am "out growing", I hope my farrow state is about to end? Project in planning, Ideas flashing, bits of this and that but no real material emergence.
The Arbutus tree image is so compelling. And, your description of renewal be it a floor, or tree bark is raw and real. Renewal is not for the faint of heart. It takes "true grit." It takes perseverance and strong will. If I was graced with a new skin, it would reveal both the fragility of new life and vivid illumination (a skin opaque with hard won wisdom). Thank you.
I love your comment Audrey about "true grit" and "a skin opaque with hard won wisdom" as these sentiments certainly resonate with me in this situation. You are most welcome of course and yet, what you have added sings with the perfect complimentary notes. Thanks for being part of the Creative Potager community.
LOVE the descriptors of you working on that wonderful floor. Talk about truly being at the foundation of your new gallery in that historic building. I bet that wood is very grateful to be coming back to her glory.
Such a fabulous question! I also love the visual of the arbutus tree. My response: A lovely website and confidence to regularly write blogs. Thank you Terrill. I am going to explore your question more in my journal. Lovely!
Katherine I look forward to your website and blog posts. I imagine them enriching the lives of many. With your help, I feel we are about halfway there in preparing the new gallery space. Of course there is still lots to do but it feels managable rather than overwhelming or hectic. So very deeply thankful for the help of friends such as you.
Thank you Laurie and you might be please to know that I have started reading a special book you recommended as a tool to guide me on this latest adventure. So far so good – both the book and the adventure.


Its been a while since our last medical spotlight but to sets jump right in where we left off. I do have my powerpoint slides that I am giving to you because it goes into a bit more detail than I wanted to go with the blog today. Just click on any of the pictures that are on here.
This graph likely deserves a post on its own but a key concern is that not only are blacks diagnosed earlier with hypertension they are still less likely to be controlled all the same.
A fact that I try to impress on my physician colleagues is that just knowing our patients have hypertension is only part of the battle – The real fight is one when you convert that patient who has hypertension to someone who is controlled.
As a primary care physician I am on the front lines in regards to high blood pressure, any Internists/Family Physician should be the main caretaker regarding blood pressure control especially in the beginning of the treatment course. Now thats not to say we don't get help from our other specialities including cardiology (heart) and nephrology ( kidney) but they should never be your first call unless the reason why the patient has high blood pressure is a cause of it.
Also unfortunate is that these numbers only show the affects hypertension has had on the United States and I can assure you the numbers are any better in the rest of the world.
Causes of hypertension are numerous primary (environmental or genetic) or secondary (vascular, renal or endocrinological causes) as well as its treatment regimens. They all have to be tailored to the specific patient population.
Again I am giving out my Power Point Slides so you can read further more on the complications of hypertension, treatment regimens and get today's post in a less wordy format.

The property you acquired was a extremely massive expenditure. It is best if you happen to be usually safeguarding this investment with a wonderful homeowner's insurance coverage coverage. There are many areas to find insurance and a lot of varieties of coverage, so shell out interest to these ideas so that you can figure out what you need and for what price.
If you have a kid in higher education, verify with your insurance agent about whether or not the child's home calls for a individual insurance plan. Almost all procedures will cover belongings saved in a dorm place, although the rules about off-campus apartment living will range extensively from policy to policy, even within the same firm.
If you have a youngster in school, check out with your insurance coverage agent about whether the child's residence requires a independent insurance policies policy. Practically all policies will protect possessions saved in a dorm room, while the restrictions about off-campus condominium residing will range broadly from coverage to policy, even inside of the exact same company.
Overview your homeowner's insurance coverage coverage each and every year to make confident it even now correctly demonstrates your scenario. Keep track of additions or alterations to your residence that might phone for discounts or top quality reductions. Do not neglect your community, either. The installation of new solutions close by (e.g. a new hearth hydrant shut to your home), may also get in touch with for decrease insurance policy payments.
You may think you don't reside near ample to a entire body of h2o to have to fear about flood insurance coverage...but believe once more. Just before you determine you do not need it, evaluate the flood threat for your geographical region. You will be stunned at the sudden areas of the country which have experienced floods in the earlier 12 months or two, and if you live in or close to on of these places, flood insurance coverage may possibly be proper for you. FEMA.gov is 1 website that provides details on flood hazards for all components of the U.S.
Insurance for your home is a must as long as you nonetheless owe a home loan. This shields the lender on their expense. As soon as you very own your house in full, you will even now want your insurance in situation of theft or other injury so that you are not remaining entirely covering all the repairs and loss.
If you have a cell property or produced housing, store about for unique homeowner's coverage which is created for your wants. Some firms offer you specific policies based on the age of your home and in which it's found. Some companies also offer protection to shield your property while it is in transit from 1 spot to yet another.
Don not, underneath any conditions, permit your hazard insurance on your residence to lapse. Most mortgage loan organizations have a clause in the settlement you signed that in the function you will not pay it, they will discover a new coverage for it, sparing no expense, and charge you for the quality.

Owing to modifying marketplace conditions and substitution charges, you require to be specific you have sufficient insurance policies in the function of reduction or hurt to your residence. You have to contemplate the value of probably rebuilding your house and be particular you have ample protection to take care of that.

Q: Apps that are Chromium or Electron base crashes on Catalina beta 6 (19A536g) So I recently updated from beta 5 of Catalina to beta 6 and noticed more than half of my apps will crash after the initial launch, these apps include things like:

*

*Brave browser (beta, nightly)

*Chrome (tried beta as well)

*Chrome Canary (the same)

Any apps that are electronJS based such as: Spotify, Slack, Atom, VSCode & etc...
I have a hunch that it has something to do with a browser wrapper that can't be set
Already tried and failed:
sudo spctl --master-disable
Also re-installed apps, tried a whole different version and to no avail
is there anything I can do to fix this locally?

A: Unfortunately, the best you can do is revert to Mojave. This is a bug in AppKit that Apple caused (and must soon fix). It persists in beta 7.
I can feel your pain. I need my Electron apps like VS Code and Insomnia. The bug also affects JetBrains apps like PyCharm and Android Studio (based off IntelliJ).

Q: Implicit conversion issue in a ternary condition
Possible Duplicate:
Conditional operator cannot cast implicitly?
Why does null need an explicit type cast here?

I've had a search and haven't found a good explanation for why the following occurs.
I have two classes which have an interface in common and I have tried initializing an instance of this interface type using the ternary operator as below but this fails to compile with the error "Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between 'xxx.Class1' and 'xxx.Class2':
public ConsoleLogger : ILogger  { .... }

public SuppressLogger : ILogger  { .... }

static void Main(string[] args)
{
   .....
   // The following creates the compile error
   ILogger logger = suppressLogging ? new SuppressLogger() : new ConsoleLogger();
}

This works if I explicitly cast the first conditioin to my interface:
   ILogger logger = suppressLogging ? ((ILogger)new SuppressLogger()) : new ConsoleLogger();

and obviously I can always do this:
   ILogger logger;
   if (suppressLogging)
   {
       logger = new SuppressLogger();
   }
   else
   {
       logger = new ConsoleLogger();
   }

The alternatives are fine but I can't quite get my head around why the first option fails with the implicit conversion error as, in my view, both classes are of type ILogger and I am not really looking to do a conversion (implicit or explicit). I'm sure this is probably a static language compilation issue but I would like to understand what is going on.

A: This is a consequence of the confluence of two characteristics of C#.
The first is that C# never "magics up" a type for you. If C# must determine a "best" type from a given set of types, it always picks one of the types you gave it. It never says "none of the types you gave me are the best type; since the choices you gave me are all bad, I'm going to pick some random thing that you did not give me to choose from."
The second is that C# reasons from inside to outside. We do not say "Oh, I see you are trying to assign the conditional operator result to an ILogger; let me make sure that both branches work."  The opposite happens: C# says "let me determine the best type returned by both branches, and verify that the best type is convertible to the target type."
The second rule is sensible because the target type might be what we are trying to determine. When you say D d = b ? c : a; it is clear what the target type is. But suppose you were instead calling M(b?c:a)?  There might be a hundred different overloads of M each with a different type for the formal parameter! We have to determine what the type of the argument is, and then discard overloads of M which are not applicable because the argument type is not compatible with the formal parameter type; we don't go the other way.
Consider what would happen if we went the other way:
M1( b1 ? M2( b3 ? M4( ) : M5 ( ) ) : M6 ( b7 ? M8() : M9() ) );

Suppose there are a hundred overloads each of M1, M2 and M6. What do you do?  Do you say, OK, if this is M1(Foo) then M2(...) and M6(...) must be both convertible to Foo. Are they? Let's find out. What's the overload of M2?  There are a hundred possibilities. Let's see if each of them is convertible from the return type of M4 and M5... OK, we've tried all those, so we've found an M2 that works. Now what about M6? What if the "best" M2 we find is not compatible with the "best" M6? Should we backtrack and keep on re-trying all 100 x 100 possibilities until we find a compatible pair? The problem just gets worse and worse.
We do reason in this manner for lambdas and as a result overload resolution involving lambdas is at least NP-HARD in C#. That is bad right there; we would rather not add more NP-HARD problems for the compiler to solve.
You can see the first rule in action in other place in the language as well. For example, if you said:  ILogger[] loggers = new[] { consoleLogger, suppressLogger }; you'd get a similar error; the inferred array element type must be the best type of the typed expressions given. If no best type can be determined from them, we don't try to find a type you did not give us.
Same thing goes in type inference. If you said:
void M<T>(T t1, T t2) { ... }
...
M(consoleLogger, suppressLogger);

Then T would not be inferred to be ILogger; this would be an error. T is inferred to be the best type amongst the supplied argument types, and there is no best type amongst them.
For more details on how this design decision influences the behaviour of the conditional operator, see my series of articles on that topic.
If you are interested in why overload resolution that works "from outside to inside" is NP-HARD, see this article.

A: The problem is that the right hand side of the statement is evaluated without looking at the type of the variable it is assigned to.
There's no way the compiler can look at
suppressLogging ? new SuppressLogger() : new ConsoleLogger();

and decide what the return type should be, since there's no implicit conversion between them. It doesn't look for common ancestors, and even if it did, how would it know which one to pick.

A: Any time you change a variable of one type into a variable of another type, that's a conversion. Assigning an instance of a class to a variable of any type other than that class requires a conversion. This statement:
ILogger a = new ConsoleLogger();

will perform an implicit conversion from ConsoleLogger to ILogger, which is legal because ConsoleLogger implements ILogger. Similarly, this will work:
ILogger a = new ConsoleLogger();
ILogger b = suppress ? new SuppressLogger() : a;

because there is an implicit conversion between SuppressLogger and ILogger. However, this won't work:
ILogger c = suppress ? new SuppressLogger() : new ConsoleLogger();

because the tertiary operator will only try so hard to figure out what type you wanted in the result. It essentially does this:

*

*If the types of operands 2 and 3 are the same, the tertiary operator returns that type and skips the rest of these steps.

*If operand 2 can be implicitly converted to the same type as operand 3, it might return that type.

*If operand 3 can be implicitly converted to the same type as operand 2, it might return that type.

*If both #2 and #3 are true, or neither #2 or #3 are true, it generates an error.

*Otherwise, it returns the type for whichever of #2 or #3 was true.

In particular, it will not start searching through all the types it knows about looking for a "least common denominator" type, such as an interface in common. Also, the tertiary operator is evaluated, and its return type deterimined, independant of the type of variable you are storing the result into. It's a two step process:

*

*Determine the type of the ?: expression and calculate it.

*Store the result of #1 into the variable, performing any implicit conversions as needed.

Typecasting one or both of your operands is the correct way to perform this operation if that's what you need.

A: You can do that:
ILogger logger = suppressLogging ? (ILogger)(new SuppressLogger()) : (ILogger)(new ConsoleLogger());

When you have an expression like condition ? a : b, there must be an implicit conversion from the type of a to the type of b, or the other way round, otherwise the compiler can't determine the type of the expression. In your case, there is no conversion between SuppressLogger and ConsoleLogger...
(see section 7.14 in the C# 4 language specifications for details)

Montana in 30 Years: HUNTING
Interview with Jim Posewitz, conservationist
Jim Posewitz
Jim Posewitz was born in 1935. After introducing himself to the joys of hunting, fishing and trapping he moved to Montana in 1953 pursuing fish and wildlife management studies. After graduation from Montana State University he spent 32 years with the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, leading the agency's ecological program for 15 years.
In 1993, Jim founded Orion The Hunter's Institute, a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the preservation of ethical hunting and wild resources essential to that purpose. In association with that work Jim has published five books: Beyond Fair Chase; Inherit The Hunt; Rifle in Hand—How Wild America was Saved, Taking a Bullet for Conservation—The Bull Moose Party, a Centennial Reflection 1912-2012, and his latest, an autobiography, My Best Shot. In addition to Orion, Jim served as executive director of the Cinnabar Foundation since its inception in 1983 until May of 2010. Cinnabar awards environmental protection and wildlife conservation grants in Montana and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
So. The year is 2048. Do you think hunting as a sport will increase or decline in popularity? (Why?)
If there is one thing our hunting predecessors have taught us it is that the future of hunting will be what we dedicate ourselves to making it. We must address three fundamental issues if we want hunting to survive and prosper. The first of them is dedicating ourselves to ethical fair chase principles—and mean it! The second is preserving the democracy of the wild as articulated in the North American Model of Wildlife Restoration—that means wildlife is a public resource and every citizen has the right and opportunity to hunt. The third is to preserve and restore the wild lands the animals need to be secure and prosper. If we can move these three items in a positive direction hunting and the animals we pursue will be sustained, maybe even prosper.
What are the greatest threats to the sport over the next 30 years?
The greatest threats to the North American hunting legacy remain what they were throughout European settlement of our continent. Leading the list of threats was and remains the commercialization of our relationship with the wild. A close second greatest threat remains persistent efforts to privatize the activity. Both of these activities weaken the social and cultural fabric responsible for one the greatest environmental achievements in human history—the restoration of North America's wildlife as a public trust. America was only 66-years-old when our Supreme Court ruled, that because the Declaration of Independence declared the people to be the sovereign, the rights and privileges of royalty passed to the people (Martin v. Wadell). In other words the king's deer became, and remain, the people's game. As that relationship is eroded, compromised or lost, the hunt as we have known it will be doomed.
Will changes in hunting impact how bow hunters or gun hunters approach the sport?
Hunting was and will always be a primal relationship between the hunter and the hunted. That will never change. Some people are born with it and some people are not. What has and will continue to change is the environment or habitat that produces and protects the wild amenities and experiences hunters seek, and maybe even need. The degree of alteration or degradation of the habitat security wildlife requires, tolerated by hunters of today, will determine how hunters 30 years from now will approach and experience the wild—or its remnant.
What is the importance of public lands preservation to the future of hunting?
Public lands were and will remain essential to the future of hunting. When wildlife populations of entire continent were in peril in the 19th century hunters stepped forward and took two huge steps toward wildlife conservation and restoration. Step one was to introduce the sporting code as an alternative to the unrestrained commercial killing. Step two was to authorize U. S. Presidents to set aside portions of the public estate for forest protection and wildlife restoration. Had hunters not led the way at the close of the 19th century few if any of us would have hunted and we would not be having this conversation today. These lands were and remain our best shot at preserving public hunting and nurturing the democracy of the wild. There simply has to be public access to outdoor amenities for everyone if fish, wildlife, and the environment they need to survive will be maintained and enhanced within a democracy.
How can wildlife management contribute to the survival of hunting as a sport?
Wildlife management took a giant step forward during one of our nation's darkest economic and environmental periods. The "Great Economic Depression" and the "Drought/Dust Bowl" of a decade we labeled the "Dirty Thirties" put our entire country under severe stress. In the middle of that dismal decade hunters and firearm/ammunition manufacturers stepped up and agreed to impose a significant excise tax on themselves for wildlife restoration. For hunters, for the associated industry, and for wildlife, it was our finest hour. The legislation was the Pittman-Robertson Act and its impact took Montana from being the 'bone-yard' of a continent to the 'Last Best Place' for wildlife.
How might technology change the way hunting is done in the future?
It is a certainty that entities seeking to capitalize on and commercialize the relationship between hunters and the hunted will continue to shorten and ease the path between the hunter and hunted. Only the hunter can determine the point and purpose of it all. Very few of the technological entrepreneurs stalking the perimeter of the hunt are developing technologies to keep the hunted more secure. At this point we must pause to recognize and appreciate the fact that during wildlife's darkest hour gun and ammo manufacturers stepped up and agreed to a severance tax on their products dedicated to wildlife restoration. That step worked miracles in field and forest. Extending that concept to other wildlife-related businesses now hits a stone wall of corporate resistance. Unless that barrier can be crossed it is hard to see evolving technologies as doing anything but demeaning hunting as they strip the limited security currently provided for the hunted.
Describe how conservation and good stewardship might preserve hunting in 2048.
We have had good ideas on how we might preserve hunting into the future but to date have not utilized them. The best of them came from a process called the Governor's Symposium on the North American Hunting Heritage. It was a seven-symposia series started in the early 1990s by Governor Stan Stevens of Montana. It came as a result of a nation-wide outrage over the fact the Montana law demanded that every bison stepping into Montana from Yellowstone National Park be killed. Park rangers and state game wardens were leading the shooters to each 'guilty' bison. Public outcry escalated with each shooting and when the carcass count exceeded 500 it became a roar. The critics included anti-hunting groups and individuals fueled by what had rightfully become a national scandal.
The symposium series focused on two points: the conservation history of wildlife restoration across North America; and, the role played in that restoration by recreational hunters. In the process the symposia also led to an articulation of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and resolutions pledging to teach these truths to hunters and non-hunters in North America. The degree to which the continuing education was done remains to be measured.
At the first of these symposia what hunters need to do was well articulated by Jay Hair, at the time head of the National Wildlife Federation. He said: "The choice is clear, we either lead or become irrelevant." That was true when spoken, it is true today almost 30 years later, and it will be true in 2048. As more and more people are attracted to the outdoors and our remnant wild places the risk of our irrelevance grows. When wildlife conservation and restoration was new it was the hunter who made it happen. When a public estate was needed it was the hunter who set aside forests and wild lands. When waterfowl need ponds and international management the hunters led the way. When America hit the "Dirty Thirties" it was the hunter who led wildlife conservation out of the mire.
To this day new hunter-based conservation groups like Backcountry Hunters and Anglers form to lead campaigns for wild land and ethical pursuit. If nothing else these people demonstrate that the fire is still in the hunter's soul and they have a way of finding the leadership needed to give us hope. Now it is your turn. Find a group of hunters going your way, join them, and then as one—Take your Best Shot!

HEAVY METAL HOLIDAY
by Omar Perez
When Ozzfest first started in 1996, the touring festival was hailed as a breath of fresh air for metal fans looking for an alternative to more mainstream rock festivals. But as time progressed, the stench of $80-plus admission, overpriced watered-down beer and a roster of bands (typically, nearly identical-sounding nü-metal bands) who paid to play the festival turned off many followers who saw the event turn into a capitalist entity.
Now, the promoters of the first Sounds of the Underground tour, slated for 26 cities, are looking to draw some of the lost metal legion with ticket prices at just under $30. (Gigantour, formed by Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, is another newcomer to this summer's touring rock festivals.) Organized by band manager Larry Mazer, Ferret Music and House of Blues, SOTU will present a lineup of hardcore and old-school metal acts, both established underground artists (Clutch, Madball), up-and-comers (Every Time I Die, Norma Jean) and those in between.
"It's not going to compete with the `Ozzfest` main stage when you have bands like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, but I think it's going to be a better version of the second stage of Ozzfest," says Strapping Young Lad bassist Byron Stroud. "I think `with SOTU`, people are going to see bands that are doing something in the underground, whereas in Ozzfest, if you have the money, you play the second stage."
Like any other festival, big-name sponsors are involved (House of Blues and Jägermeister, among others). Even PETA is offering free tickets to each of the shows. Perhaps the organization was unaware of GWAR's blood-smeared "halftime" performance, and the fact that metal and meat go together like organic fare and Lilith Fair.
While it's the first tour for what SOTU organizers hope to turn into a yearly event, for bands like Sweden's Opeth, it marks the first time playing a touring festival not just abroad but in America. For Opeth frontman Mikael Akerfeldt, one aspect that will take getting used to is playing a relatively short set. "Thirty-five to 45 minutes is way too short," he says. "After four songs, we're just getting started."
On the other hand, Randy Blythe, frontman for the festival-headlining Lamb of God, isn't particularly looking forward to playing a lengthy set. "I hate the fact that we're playing so long," Blythe says. "I really do. I don't feel limited `with a short set`. When you have 30 minutes to play, you have your game on. When you're out there playing for two hours, it gets boring. I don't even like watching bands play for two hours."
However, there's at least one activity in which Blythe can partake for more than a couple of hours: "We're just going to barbecue a lot and drink beer," he says. "We know all the bands that are on tour; it's going to be a party all summer long."
For fans, all-day festivals typically involve drinking heavily during the day, getting slammed by the fourth or fifth band and trying to crowd-surf (unsuccessfully, sometimes), later sobering up enough to wonder why gravity was not your friend. "It's not just a gig; it's the whole atmosphere," Akerfeldt says. "I think it's going to be complete chaos."
For some bands, touring festivals can be both a blessing and a curse. "I think in a lot of ways, these tours hurt touring bands because you give kids an option to not go see bands play on their own when they can pay one cover and see all the bands they want," Stroud says. "But it's also better for bands like Strapping Young Lad, who don't usually get to play in front of large audiences."
Says Blythe, "I don't think `Ozzfest` will ever top last year. This tour is the real deal, and it's more affordable. I don't know how people can afford going to Ozzfest."

Fortnite's commercial success has been well-documented. Following the release of the free-to-play Battle Royale mode, Epic Games' stock seemingly skyrocketed overnight, with the game eventually growing into the genre's authoritative representative. Money attracts attention, and Fortnite's reserves can probably put to shame most small countries! It was only a matter of time before lawsuits arrived at Epic Games' doorstep.
That's not to say Fortnite is an innocent victim. In order to cover expenses and potentially turn a profit, free-to-play games rely heavily on premium content. Battle Royales necessitates participants start on a level playing field, consequently, Epic Games cannot market weapons or armor for this mode. While Overwatch and Star Wars: Battlefront II turned to loot boxes, Fortnite opted to invest in emotes and dances, a move that helped inject a touch of personality into the game's shallow cast. A decent portion of Fortnite's dances are entirely original, but those emotes are irrelevant to this article!
Recently, Epic Games has come under scrutiny for selling pop-culture inspired emotes without compensating the original creators. Choreographed dance moves are protected by copyright, but a move has to be considered distinctive to qualify. The simple act of popularizing a dance does not equate to ownership, therefore, Fortnite may have every right to use certain moves. However, several emotes are so blatantly referential, Epic Games cannot claim these moves are only inspired by the source.
Here are 30 Fortnite emotes and where they were stolen from!
Primarily known as The Carlton, Fortnite did not even attempt to hide this emote's origins. Named after The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, "Fresh" accurately recreates Alfonso Ribeiro's iconic dance. If this was merely added as a free item, Epic Games might have been in the clear; however, the emote costs 800 V-Bucks.
Fortnite profits from the dance's reputation, one that Epic has not earned the right to sell. Unsurprisingly, Ribeiro was far from happy about its inclusion! It is not unusual for Ribeiro to sue Epic for copying The Carlton.
Fortnite's in-game emotes have steadily evolved into one of the title's trademark components. With the Battle Royale mode's rampant popularity ensuring Fortnite's name echoed in every corner of the internet, the studio must feel pressured to maintain the momentum. Brief dances are perfect for memes.
Epic Games has been subjected to numerous lawsuits citing the unauthorized use of intellectual property. This article has already discussed Alfonso Ribiero's case, and "Orange Justice" serves as another example of an emote that sparked controversy.
Unlike the majority of other cases, Fortnite's "Orange Justice" was created explicitly for the game. Epic held a competition allowing fans to submit their own dances, with the winner earning a spot in Fortnite's catalog. "Orange Justice" is based on an endearing entry submitted by a young kid, whose video struck a chord with the fanbase. Despite not winning, Epic decided to create an emote based on the dance regardless. Now, the publisher is being sued.
Many others on the internet community have pointed out that the dance closely resembles moves popularized by a group of people who threw a rave under a bridge.
Russell Horning's parents filed a complaint against Epic Games, expressing anger over Fortnite adopting the boy's infamous "Flossing" dance as an emote. Nicknamed as the Backpack Kid, Russell became internet famous after uploading numerous videos of his signature dance on Instagram.
Does the complainant's case hold water? "The Backpack Kid" cannot claim to be the dance's original version, but the viral hit certainly helped popularize it. Katy Perry even invited Russell to perform the goofy jig on Saturday Night Live. Fortnite's "The Floss" exists because of Russell, but ownership should not automatically be handed to the most famous variant.
Whether fueled by naivety or greed, Epic Games seems to rarely, if ever, ask for permission before reframing an artist's identifiable signature move as an emote. Scrubs' Donald Faison has gone on record to state that Fortnite "jacked" his dance, which the actor created specifically for an episode of the medical-themed comedy.
"Dance Moves" is Fortnite's default celebration, therefore, Epic Games does not financially benefit from the emote's inclusion. Faison's anger stems from the game taking credit for a culturally relevant action created by somebody else. In the future, the dance will be associated with Fortnite rather than Scrubs.
Fortnite's"Dab" was presumably inspired by Skippa Da Flippa's guest appearance in Migos' 2015 song with the same name. While the song deserves every ounce of credit for normalizing the word "dabbing," an achievement that should not be taken lightly, the act itself regularly pops up in Japanese's cartoons and manga. Here is Dragon Ball Z's Gohan performing the dab during the mid-'90s.
Somewhat surprisingly, Fortnite seems to rarely turn to anime for inspiration. How is there yet to be a Super Saiyan emote? Does Epic Games not like money?
Popularized by Jay-Z's Dirt off Your Shoulder music video, the "brush your shoulder" hand signal is an iconic gesture intrinsically associated with the artist's public persona. During the lead-up to the 2008 election, Jay-Z's signature was repurposed by Barack Obama, utilizing the gesture to criticize his opponent's cheap tactics.
Available to purchase for 200 V-Bucks, Fortnite's "Brush Your Shoulders" is among the most common emotes in the game.
There is no substitute for an infectious hook and a hypnotic beat, but a memorable dance can be the difference between a viral sensation and a song with only 381 views on YouTube. BlocBoy JB's music video for 2017's Shoot currently sits with over 30 million hits and the tune cannot take all the credit for the upload's success.
BlocBoy's "The Shoot Dance" earned a Kids' Choice Awards nomination for Favorite Dance Trend, although the title eventually went to "The Backpack Kid." Fortnite seems to be a pretty good indicator of which viral dances are likely to garner some official recognition.
The Band of the Bold refers to a series of videos featuring Marlon Webb playfully jogging through various neighborhoods while soundtracked by timeless classics like Take On Me. Inaugurated in 2016, the comedian's skits quickly went viral and started to trend on Twitter.
Seizing the videos' most identifiable element, Fortnite's "Best Mates" highlights Marlon's silly walking stance that came to define these string of sketches. Did Marlon create this particular movement? Maybe, maybe not. However, he made it famous.
Humans are not the only viable source of inspiration for emotes. Why limit yourself to Earth when there is a whole universe waiting to be imitated? Released in 1997 by El Chombo, Dame Tu Cosita is a goofy hip-hop Spanish song featuring a (nightmarish) CGI alien in the music video. If you are fine with not sleeping for the feasible future, check out this clip for a trip down memory lane.
Fortnite's reference to Dame Tu Cosita presumably went by unnoticed by the vast majority of the property's target audience, as it was renamed the Zany. Many fans, however, have pointed out the visual and musical resemblance.
Snoop Dogg has an incredibly unique talent for making everything seem effortless. Recently, the rapper's guest low-effort verses reek of complacency, but Snoop Dogg possesses just enough magnetism to elevate coasting into an art form.
At his best, Snoop Dogg is untouchable.
Among the musician's biggest hits, Drop It Like It's Hot spawned a sweet dance that perfectly compliments Snoop Dogg's public image. "Tidy" repurposes the rapper's dance as an emote, and the jig fits the game's tone surprisingly well.
Fortnite's emotes should be reserved as a time capsule. Once the Battle Royale craze fades and Earth celebrates its 3000th birthday, historians will turn to Epic Games' franchise as a marker of a year's defining trends. 2017's It put the fear of clowns into countless audience members from all walks of life, therefore, Fortnite created an emote to honor the film's cultural significance. "Take The L" is a taunting spin on the dance Penny Wise is seen performing here.
Now, in all fairness, It is a genuinely intense film, even for those who find clowns to be delightful. Horror is not for everyone, but everyone plays Fortnite. Epic Games helps ensure nobody is left out of the loop.
There exist a right and a wrong way to perform any act. Sprinkling salt is no exception. Salt Bae refers to a viral video starring Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe, whose flamboyant cooking style is known to spark a passionate reaction in viewers. Only someone special can transform a fundamental cooking step into a meme.
Craving a sample of Gökçe's dish, Epic Games sprinkled a pinch of "Pure Salt" on Fortnite. As any half-decent chef will tell you, salt tends to draw out the tastiest flavors in most meals.
Keeping up with the latest dance crazes requires a detailed spreadsheet, a dedicated team of researchers, and an always-on-call therapist ready to deal with the inevitable existential crisis. "Running Man" is a reference to a craze launched by Kevin Vincent and Jeremiah Hall, then high-school students from Hillside, New Jersey.
After the dance blew up on the internet with many others, including football teams performing the dance as a challenge, the two appeared on The Ellen Show, a talk show responsible for showcasing many modern memes.
Fortnite's rendition of the dance bears not only a striking visual resemblance but a similar tune and the same name.
What came first, Fortnite or memes? Are they not one and the same? Did a time truly exist when Fortnite did not rule the world? Does any of this even matter?
Certain questions yield no answers.
Thankfully, this does not happen to be one of those instances. Fortnite's "Calculate" emote references a 2016 meme based on a BBC YouTube series called Hood Documentary. The meme is simply a photo of Reece Simpson pointing to his temple while grinning from ear to ear. Others may recognize this gesture from that time they stupidly jumped on a glass table, prompting their parents to suggest "using their brains" in the future.
"Electro Shuffle" may just contain Fortnite's smoothest couple of seconds. As someone cursed with the grace of a three-legged elephant, "Electro Shuffle" is practically magic! Are people really capable of stringing together such majestic steps?
At the very least, Gabby J David can bring to life this choreography without inadvertently triggering a widespread epidemic of second-hand embarrassment. Mimicking every beat of the YouTuber's dance, Fortnite could not resist the urge to cut loose. David's video has nearly 10 million views, which provides Epic Games with more than enough incentive to do the "Electro Shuffle."
Despite ending more than two decades ago, Seinfeld's presence continues to be felt! Now, in all fairness, a Battle Royale game is hardly the most likely project to reference a sitcom about nothing; yet, here we are!
"Jubilation" is based on Elaine Benes' excited dance, which should not be confused with the character's silly dance. The emote's name directly tributes Elaine's actress, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who went on to star in the highly rated Veep as a bumbling Vice President with an incompetent staff.
Gangnam Style took 2012 by storm. Yes, it really has been that long! Bolstered by an outlandish music video and a catchy hook unhindered by cultural barriers, Psy's pop song continues to rank among YouTube's Top 10 most-viewed videos until this very day!
A list chiefly dominated by pop songs.
While the "Ride the Pony" action predates 2012, Fortnite's emote is unquestionably referencing the hit song. Frankly, Epic Games could hardly ignore one of the decade's most inescapable cultural phenomenon. Ride that horse all the way to the bank.
Another emote, another pop-culture reference. While the Renaissance period proved to be short-lived, Pulp Fiction incited a career resurgence for John Travolta. Following two massive hits in Grease and the vastly superior Saturday Night Fever, Travolta was typecast as the dude who can sing, dance, and - perhaps - act.
Quentin Tarantino's non-linear masterpiece framed the out of favor Travolta as an unspectacular gangster, although the director could not help include a dance scene. Along with Face/Off, Travolta seemed to be back in Hollywood's good graces; then, Battlefield Earth hit theatres. Travolta's passion project left everyone confused.
Epic Games could fill an entire year's worth of emotes by simply mimicking K-pop artists. Along with unbelievably catchy and tightly produced tunes, Korean girl groups birth some of the entertainment industry's most intricate dance choreographies. The genre's music videos are basically the live-action equivalents of an anime opening!
Fortnite's "Star Power" pays homage to multiple different groups; consequently, determining one definite band as the main inspiration has proven difficult. GFriend and Lovelyz are generally credited with the choreography.
At first glance, "Reanimated" might seem to be tributing Michael Jackson's Thriller. Epic Games seldom credits any of its emotes, therefore, connecting a dance to its source requires some guesswork. Consequently, we cannot unequivocally claim "Reanimated" was not inspired by the King of Pop's legendary music video; nonetheless, Team Necrophilia's claim for the title is quite convincing.
The South Korean dance group's reach does not stretch to the Western world, but the magic of the internet provides multiple glimpses of the team's stage show.
Nathan Barnatt's YouTube channel showcases the nearly limitless potential of physical comedy. The YouTuber masterly employs his own body as a prop devised solely to elicit a constant stream of laughs out of the audience.
Humor is subjective. Genius is not.
Barnatt's "No Bones Dance" places among the comedian's crowning achievements and helped draw attention to his channel. Fortnite's "Boneless" proves physical comedy transcends medium, culture, or speech. Regardless of whether somebody is familiar with the original, "Boneless" is still hilarious.
Once upon a time, Napolean Dynamite was hailed as the voice of a generation. A masterclass in deadpan humor, Jared Hess' 2004 comedy predated the emergence of geek culture as an acceptable mainstream trend. While the quirky film is somewhat dated, Napolean Dynamite's influence cannot be denied.
Seeking to preserve his friend's political aspirations, Napolean bites the bullet and performs an extraordinary dance to bring the film to a close. "Groove Jam" does a fine job recreating this moment, but Fortnite is the polar opposite of Napolean Dynamite.
Along with one of the longest names to ever grace cinema, Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb contains arguably history's definitive rodeo. Kubrick's satire serves as a biting criticism of politics and the cold war, with the film's themes maintaining relevance to this very day. More importantly, Slim Pickens rides an armed nuke while wearing a cowboy hat.
In terms of awesomeness, Fortnite's "Rocket Rodeo" does not hold a candle to Kubrick's explosive scene.
This time around, Epic Games turned to the roaring twenties for a touch of inspiration. "Flapper" is a simplified version of the Charleston, a popular dance chiefly associated with the Runnin' Wild Broadway show.
Nowadays, the Charleston has evolved into an improvised dance that can be performed with or without partners. Due to its improvisational and accessible nature, the Charleston comes in many shapes and forms, although certain steps must be followed for a version to be accepted as an authentic example.
Money is a constant theme in hip-hop. Please note, that is merely an observation and not a criticism. Every genre appoints a couple of topics to embody the lifestyle echoed by the musical style. During the '80s, all hair metal bands seemed to be stuck in a perpetual cycle of heartbreak, partying, and even more heartbreak.
Fat Joe and Lil Wayne's Make It Rain distills hip-hop's core theme down to its essence. The music video shows both rappers throwing wads of cash into the air like they just do not care. For the affordable price of $5, Fortnite gamers could also hold the privilege of discarding (digital) cash without a second thought!
While certain dances are protected by copyright, the law excludes any overly common actions. If that was not the case, movies would constantly face the risk of being dragged to court over any somewhat familiar hand movements. Surely, Dumb and Dumber's hootenanny scene does not coincide with the first instance of someone performing this particular dance. Jim Carrey's version merely happens to be among the better-known examples.
If Hollywood is free to utilize a popular choreography, the gaming industry should be extended the same privilege.
Epic Games loves comedy. To be more precise, Epic Games love referencing comedies in its emotes. Prior to its Netflix revival, Arrested Development produced three brilliant seasons that nobody seemed to watch. Will Arnett portrays the obnoxious but hilarious GOB, an inept businessman who aspires to become a professional magician.
Surprise! GOB is also an inept magician.
Whenever GOB wishes to provoke anyone, Arnett unleashes an amusing chicken dance, with the joke eventually becoming a running gag. Clearly, Fortnite found the joke to be quite funny.
Inaugurated more than a century ago, Irish stepdance juxtapositions a stiff upper body with precise and agile leg movement. Traditionally performed at Gaelic festivals, multiple competitions are held across the globe. 1994's Eurovision Song Contest incorporated a theatrical show called Riverdance, which served to highlight Ireland's traditional music and helped enhance the routine's international appeal.
"Step It Up" distills 200 years of tradition and culture into a readily digestible $5 emote. If a dance fails to land a slot in Fortnite, then it is not worth mentioning.
Originating out of the big apple, The Strokes hit the ground running with a nearly flawless debut album that put to shame most efforts by the band's contemporaries. Looking like remnants of the '70s rock scene and harboring back to a retro sound associated with a bygone era, The Strokes was a refreshing blast from the past during a period dominated by the likes of Staind and Creed.
The "Finger Guns" is the band's calling card, but the Strokes cannot exactly take credit for realizing fingers can be pointed toward a general direction.
