Can you guess what city in Montana has the fastest commercial and residential internet connections? It might come as a surprise to some; the fastest internet connections in the Big Sky State are in Butte America.
The image is a screen shot of a speed test on my residential cable internet connection from Bresnan, uh Optimum, oh I mean Charter for only $39 a month. That is pretty fast for Montana, but many businesses and my graduate student office at Montana Tech are sporting a Gigabit Per Second fiber connection!
I've been super lucky over the last few years, traveling around Montana, working for some of the coolest businesses, nonprofits and government agencies that make our state so great. In the process, I've found myself root deep in hundreds of business web sites and web business listings, uploading images, embedding videos, and hacking together search engine friendly copy. A normal project consists of around 5 gigabytes of data that has to be shoved up to the web and lots of tinkering with back end, web dashboards. As a result, it has been a constant challenge to find good data connections throughout this rural state. So when I moved to Butte from Missoula in August and realized how fast the internet was, I felt like a kid on Christmas.
Montana has amazing history, natural spaces, culture, and people; and anyone who gets to know Butte can tell you it is definitely special among Montana cities. Butte has a rich history, and the locals are intensely proud of their culture, but most don't know it also has blazing fast internet connections. That, among other things is making it a destination for data intensive tech businesses. It really takes minutes to do in Butte what it takes hours to do in Billings, Bozeman or Missoula.

Could the Maffei Campaign Be Writing Its Own Attack Ad for 2012?
The Maffei - Buerkle absentee count and recount has become a saga. Both sides are doing what they can to give themselves the best opportunity of winning in the final tally, and it's perfectly understandable that they do what the law permits to further their chances. Neither side has clean hands in this race or, for that matter, in almost any other race across the country that was remotely competitive.
However, an impression of the Maffei campaign's post-election behavior is arguably being built, which could come back to bite the candidate later on. Three recent things in particular come to mind.
--The calling of absentee voters to determine how they voted (see earlier posts, "Countdown with Dan Maffei" and "Playing the Recount and Playing with Fire"). All the available reports suggest that it's the Maffei campaign which has been doing this. Of course it's legal, and from an academic or theoretical perspective it brings up some interesting questions about the nature of the voting act--when the public aspect of it yields to the private aspect. But many people may view this move as crossing a line.
--The labeling of Onondaga County Election Commissioner Helen Kiggins as "an agent of the Buerkle campaign," and a subsequent effort to remove her from the count process, on the part of one of the campaign's lawyers (according to Michele Breidenbach's Post-Standard pieces on Saturday, Nov. 13 and Sunday, Nov. 14). That seems like an attack on the referee, and probably off-base. In my recent Campbell Conversation interview with two political strategists, both my Democratic and Republican guest heatedly agreed that the Onondaga County commissioners are of the highest integrity.
--Maffei's own public absence. Breidenbach's Saturday article ends with the observation that Maffei himself has not made any public appearances since declaring victory on election night, and Mark Weiner makes the same observation in his Sunday Post-Standard Washington Notebook. It's been noticeable, particularly as Ann Marie Buerkle has appeared frequently, displaying the persona of the Happy Warrior.
In combination, these three things could create the impression of a hunkered-down, aggressive, and secretive end-game. Furthermore, the public narrative of the campaign is that all the votes should be accurately counted, but the appearance is more of a strategy organized around excluding votes. The concern here for the Democrats is that the campaign may be writing its own negative ad for 2012, regardless of the ultimate outcome of this election. The Republican candidate in 2012 might have a ready-made issue to trot out, as that election season will surely be as nasty as the most recent one.

We met on a warm summer day some fifteen years ago at a community center in Arlington, Virginia where they took traditional Cambodian dancing and music lessons.
15/06/2015 at the Isle of Wight Festival. I saw Benedict; walked up to him and said 'I like your beard'. We danced and I jumped on his shoulders, we knew then, this was it… We had a wedding to plan!
I was the youngest person in the building at the time (straight out of uni) and the boys who worked in the café were the only people my age so I ended up becoming friends with them. That said, Alex and I never really had a chance to chat properly until the annual Christmas party on 8th December 2009 (yes, I remember the date!) where we spent most of the night in the corner talking about anything and everything – he had just come back from travelling and I found him so interesting! Six months later (to the day!) on 8th June 2010 we had our first date and we've been together ever since.

MANILA, Another milestone takes place today at the historic College of the Holy Spirit Manila (CHSM) as Dr. Jesusa M. Marco is sworn in as the school's 9th President. Dr. Marco's presidency also marks the transition of CHSM, making her the 1st Lay President under the school's new management by the Holy Spirit Alumni Management Corporation (HSAMC). The rites will be held at the Paraclete Auditorium, College of the Holy Spirit Manila. In September 2015, the Congregational Leadership Team in Rome gave the approval for the collaboration of the Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit (S.Sp.S) and the CHSM Alumnae through a Management Contract for the continuance of CHSM mission. On January 21, 2016, the Management Agreement was finally approved and signed between the College of the Holy Spirit of Manila and the Holy Spirit Alumni Management Corporation (HSAMC). CHSM remains to be owned by S.Sp.S, however, it is now managed by the HSAMC effective May 1, 2016. Dr. Marco finished AB Sociology in formerly Maryknoll (now Miriam College). She also holds Master of Arts in Social Sciences major in Sociology at De La Salle University. She earned her Doctorate Degree in Sociology at Loyola University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois. Presently, she is also a Research Fellow of the De La Salle University.


I have a jdm t3/t4 .57 trim turbo with a 20mm port on the exhaust housing for the wastegate. I have a 38mm dual port wastegate with a 6# spring. If I run my 6- stage boost controller, how much boost can I run before the 20mm hole becomes too restrictive and causes boost creep. I don't really want to port the housing if I don't have to beacuse I don't want to weaken the housing, but I can weld a pipe to the the header. This is on a hayabusa so room is limited and I'll only need 18-20 psi out of it.
the more boost you run, the less exhaust gas goes through the wastegate.
thanks, I was thinking bass ackwards.

Research being conducted on behalf of Swine Innovation Porc will provide swine producers a clearer indication of the levels of calcium and phosphorus required by gestating sows to ensure health.
As part of a multi-disciplinary initiative aimed at reducing lameness and increasing longevity of breeding sows, researchers are assessing the effect of calcium and phosphorus on bone health and comparing the bone health of sows housed in groups to sows fed the same diets but housed in stalls.
Dr. Denise Beaulieu, a research scientist nutrition with the Prairie Swine Centre, says one question is if the type of housing impacts the sows' calcium and phosphorus requirements.
We're trying to see, for example, if the ones in group housing maybe they have increased exercise or maybe the sows in stalls are standing more and all of these could have an effect on their requirements for calcium and phosphorus.
Our system is a free access stall system so when the sows go into the stalls to eat, a gate locks behind them and they are free to eat without the other sows bothering them.
This allows us in a nutrition study also to feed them separately so we can give each sow exactly what she requires.
I have a masters student working on this project.
She feeds every sow individually in the morning their requirement and then half of the sows are allowed to go out and mingle and if they want to interact with each other, fight or what ever do, or most of them just go and lay down, they are free to do that.
The other stalls are maintained as if they were in a stall housing situation.
We are able to feed them separately, however also have a group housing situation.
Dr. Beaulieu says researchers are tracking calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood of the sow as an indication of dietary sufficiency, the sow's behavior and farrowing measures including piglet birth weight, piglet numbers, health of the piglets and growth of the piglets.
She expects the first reports to be released late next spring.

Messages from Rich Kramer and Ellis Jones
It would have been easy to lose sight of the future while facing the unprecedented challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. But such was not the case for Goodyear, where our associates demonstrated remarkable resilience, delivering on immediate business needs while also continuing to position the company as a future mobility leader – and never losing sight of our commitment to corporate responsibility.
When it came to our near-term business needs, associates worked safely and rapidly to serve customers and consumers in the ways that they preferred. Goodyear associates in our retail stores and commercial tire and service centers, along with our network of aligned dealers and distributors, continued serving first responders and essential workers with new "zero touch" and mobile offerings. And our plant associates continued to produce the tires that keep fleets of all sizes moving. In all cases, the health and wellbeing of associates were always our top priority.
Goodyear associates around the world maintained their positive momentum during the most challenging months of the pandemic, enabling our strong performance in 2020 that positioned us for a brighter future.
While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect us all, in some parts of the world there are encouraging signs and reasons for optimism as of this publication. Throughout the pandemic, Goodyear benefited from having a clear framework that defines our corporate responsibility commitment: Goodyear Better Future. Regardless of what we were working on or where we were working from, we were united in our focus on Sustainable Sourcing, Responsible Operations, Advanced Mobility and Inspiring Culture.
Our report reflects not only on our performance in the context of the pandemic, but also in terms of our normal activities supporting Goodyear Better Future. You will also find stories of the unique ways our associates around the world remained devoted to customers, consumers and communities.
I am proud of our response to the pandemic and I'm equally pleased that we were able to maintain our commitment to a Better Future. As we look to brighter days ahead, we will continue to maintain our commitment to safety, quality, integrity and responsibility. These are non-negotiable, no matter the external challenges we face.
RICHARD J. KRAMER
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
Message from Ellis Jones.
Througout 2020, Goodyear confronted both immediate and long-term impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic while keeping our corporate responsibility top of mind. Our teams leveraged strategies and actions from our Goodyear Better Future framework to quickly respond and align on the focus areas most important to our associates and external stakeholders. All Better Future pillars are important, but the strategies developed in the Responsible Operations and Inspiring Culture pillars have proven to be especially critical as we continue to navigate our way through the pandemic.
Goodyear's business continuity team played a crucial role in our ability to protect our associates while serving our customers — many of whom were essential to the pandemic response — and maintain the transportation of critical goods and services.
In January 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic grew in scale, we quickly assembled global and regional crisis management teams, building upon existing business continuity teams. Consisting of more than 500 associates and over 20 workstreams, the teams established processes, tools and systems, including case tracking, site operating protocols and return-to-work training in 19 countries.
As we resumed production with a phased ramp-up, Goodyear continued to manage our operations with focus on health and safety. Our team remains focused on preventing the threat of illness and injury within our workplace.
Our strategies and actions to foster an inspiring culture proved to be a critical element in our response to COVID-19. At Goodyear, we believe a diverse workforce is critical to our long-term success. Embracing and valuing differences allows us to attract top talent, improve associate satisfaction and engagement, foster innovation and meld varying experiences and perspectives to drive enhanced customer service, business creativity and decision-making — all key activities that are even more important when responding to the ongoing global health crisis. Our strategies and actions to foster an inspiring culture resulted in our highest associate engagement scores recorded to date.
As we continue to execute our pandemic strategy, we are mindful of the increasing importance of viewing our strategy through the lens of environmental, social and governance (ESG). Current issues and focus areas — such as strengthening our inclusive culture so associates can bring their whole selves to work and responding to climate change — are critical to our ability to meet the needs of our stakeholders and these are the right things to prioritize. Thanks to our commitment and execution of our strategy, Goodyear continues to work to meet the expectations of our internal and external stakeholders across our global footprint.
During the pandemic, our associates exercised remarkable agility in finding new ways to work and stay close to our customers and each other. We believe the lessons our associates learned from adapting to the challenges of 2020 will help shape how we work in a post-pandemic world. And our attention on reducing waste, water consumption, and greenhouse gas and other emissions help address our responsibility to fight climate change. We are committed to the goals highlighted in this report and working to establishing longer term goals for climate change, circularity and diversity and inclusion.
Though we hope to never again face a crisis like COVID-19, we are proud of our team's response and our unwavering commitment to corporate responsibility. Our path may have changed, but our destination remains the same: to be the industry leader and set the pace for corporate responsibility.

2019: Atiku to reserve 40% space for Youth, women his cabinet
The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has said his presidency would bequeath a good future to the younger generation.
Mr Atiku said this while reeling out his agenda at a Youth Town Hall Meeting on Monday in Lagos.
He said not less than 40 per cent of his cabinet would be made up of Nigerian youths and women if elected president in the 2019 general elections.
"Our gathering here today is about the future of our youths. I am concerned about the plight of the Nigerian youths.
"They are the future and we need to bequeath a good and secured future to our younger generation.
"I will work more with the youth and even my Minister for youth will not be more than 30 years of age," he said.
Mr Atiku also promised to enthrone technology in the nation's education.
Also speaking, the vice-presidential candidate, Peter Obi said Mr Atiku's government would invest in education, saying that the more educated the people, the more the nation progresses.
"Nigerian youths deserve better education and jobs. Therefore, vote Atiku because he is capable of reviving and managing our country's economy," Mr Obi said.
In his address, Uche Secondus, PDP national chairman said that the youth would matter in Mr Atiku's presidency.
"We recognised that Nigerian youth are innovative, industrious and hardworking.
"As you vote in Atiku in 2019, you are voting for your liberation," he said.
Jimi Agbaje, PDP governorship candidate in Lagos, said his campaign was about freedom for the residents of Lagos.
"It is about freedom for 'Lagosians'. Lagos is not a 'One-Man-Lagos' but people's Lagos.
"To achieve this, I urge our youth to ensure they vote in PDP at every levels of government for us to enjoy a better Lagos and Nigeria," Mr Agbaje said.
Ayodele Fayose, former Governor of Ekiti State said Mr Atiku was a product of democracy and deserved to be elected as president.
"Atiku is our president in waiting. He is the man who can harness the talents and potential of the youth for a better future," Mr Fayose said.
In his remarks, Udeh Okoye, PDP National Youth Leader, said the Nigerian youths have endorsed Mr Atiku's candidacy because he believed in the political vibrancy of the youth.
"This is also a forum to assure Atiku and Obi of our full support at the 2019 polls," he said.

Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal Stumble Before Australian Open 2011 Finals?
By Xeno-philous F
A Grand Slam final without Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal? Without both?
Imagine that or imagine imagination dead. "That's waiting for Godot," you instantly resist, but it could be happening.
Nadal looked spectacular last night, so did Federer the day before. Nadal did not have to sweat much. Literally, he perspired less. After butchering Marin Cilic in straight sets, he said he "felt perfect physically," not without a caveat.
The sweat may not be the result of bodily ailment.
"I played against Andy Murray here in 2007, I think. I played very long match in fourth round, Round of 16. I wasn't able to play in quarterfinals against González. It happened in 2009 against Verdasco, and I was ready to play a long final, no?"
A five-setter with David Ferrer in the quarterfinal could be similar or less tiring than the one with Fernando Verdasco, having little bearing over his potential semifinal match against Andy Murray, given the Scot gets there.
Sometimes, his sweating may have something to do with anxiety, some form of mind-body disharmony or Cartesian ghost.
Nadal says, "When I play better, I play with a little bit more calm and with less anxiety. For that reason, I am anxiety less."
But I think the effect is more like a feedback loop, the cause becoming effect and the effect cause in turn. In other words, anxiety leads to a bad play and bad play triggers anxiety in cycle. But where does the anxiety originate from?
If I have to guess, it could be the pressure of achieving four Slams in a row, which he has been strenuously trying to deflect from hovering over his head, at least after Doha. He knows this could very well be the one-time opportunity.
When motivation morphs into anxiety, the outcome is often not a happy one.
Under the pressure, Nadal is very likely to go out to the dangerous foe in ...

Apple Predicted to Repatriate $200 Billion of its Overseas Cash
by Usman Qureshi – Thu, January 4, 2018
A recent note issued by GBH Research has estimated that Apple will take advantage of the new U.S. tax law and will repatriate around $200 billion of its $252 billion foreign cash hoard, 9to5Mac is reporting. The firm has claimed that the tech giant will spend the cash in accelerated buybacks, another dividend hike, and potentially larger M&A, all of which will benefit the shareholders in 2018.
Earlier this week, Citi analysts predicted that there's a 40% chance of Apple using its repatriated money to acquire Netflix. Other Wall Street analysts are also speculating whether Apple will make a big bet with this infusion of cash and do a larger deal (e.g. Netflix) to catalyze and jump start its streaming video business.
However, GBH believes that such a large acquisition would be out of character for Apple, although it did reiterate the idea in its investor note.
"To this point, while it's likely Apple keeps its M&A deals under $2 billion in size, we strongly believe it is a ripe time for Cupertino to look ahead and make a bigger bet on a new growth area such as streaming video as with the "content arms race" well underway between Netflix (spending $8 billion this year), Disney (Fox deal), Amazon, and a host of others such as HBO and Facebook aggressively spending on content, now is the right time for Apple to make an aggressive move in our opinion on this front."
Since Disney has just acquired Fox's studio and TV assets, that deal is now off the table.

I'm not sure how Sukierae, the new album from Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco) and his son Spencer (from their new duo, simply called Tweedy), released last September, went unnoticed. But what's done is done.
Check out the insanely star-studded video, for the song "Low Key" directed by TV's Ron Swanson (the everyman's man Nick Offerman). Low key is about how exciting the song gets, so the title is apropos. The video is fun, and the song isn't exactly off-putting, either, so I'll happily put it up on the Bacon Review.
Watch for guest appearances by Melissa McCarthy, Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter, Mavis Staples, Steve Albini, Chance the Rapper and Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche, as well as bit parts by always-scary Michael Shannon and always-funny John Hodgman, among many many others.

Q: Schrodinger equation in plain English A mathematician once said that every equation is a sentence that can be expressed in English.
Can you restate Schrodinger's equation solely in English, perhaps for the position and momentum of an electron in a hydrogen atom, identifying what each term stands for along the way?
Here's an example of what we're after:
$$2+2=4$$
"If you take two of anything, or even just the number 2, and add two of the same, you never have to count them to answer the question how many you have, because whenever you do, the answer will always be 4."

A: Treating the nonrelativistic case only.
Time-independent Schrodinger equation:
$\hat{H}\psi=E\psi$
With math terms allowed:
"The eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian $(\hat{H})$ are the energies $(E)$ of stationary states $(\psi)$."
Without math terms:
"The function responsible for evolving a quantum system in time $(\hat{H})$ has states $(\psi)$ which remain the same up to a constant scaling factor $(E)$ under its action, and the scaling constant is the energy of the respective state."
Time-dependent Schrodinger equation (for a single particle moving in an electric potential):
$i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\psi=(\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\nabla^2+V)\psi$
With math terms allowed:
"Up to various constants $(i\hbar)$, the wavefunction $(\psi)$ satisfies the diffusion equation $(\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial t}=\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\nabla^2\psi)$ with an extra term $(+V\psi)$ consisting of the potential energy $(V)$ multiplied by the wavefunction."
Without math terms:
"The rate of change $(\frac{\partial}{\partial t})$ of the wavefunction $(\psi)$ at any point is proportional to a measure of its curvature $(\nabla^2\psi)$ at that point multiplied by a constant $(\frac{\hbar^2}{2m})$, added to the potential $(V)$ applied to the system multiplied by the wavefunction itself."
Time-dependent Schrodinger equation (general):
$i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\psi=\hat{H}\psi$
With math terms allowed:
"Up to various constants, $(i\hbar)$, the time derivative of the wavefunction $(\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\psi)$ is given by the action of the Hamiltonian $(\hat{H})$ on the wavefunction."
Without math terms:
"The rate of change of the wavefunction at a point $(\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\psi)$ is proportional to the action of the function responsible for evolving a quantum system in time $(\hat{H})$ on the wavefunction."

Lindera obtusiloba bears many similarities to its North American relative, Lindera benzoin. Both produce small, greenish-yellow flowers in early spring on dioecious plants (separate male and female plants) and possess fragrant stems, a quality that lends protection from deer browse. Characteristics unique to the species include a vase-shape habit, think Hamamelis x intermedia, and fun, variable leaf shape.
The Missouri Botanical Garden, a tried and true reference, succinctly sums up the many positive attributes of Malus 'JFS-KW5' Royal Raindrops: "Royal Raindrops, is an upright-spreading, disease-resistant, easy-to-grow, crabapple tree that features: (1) deeply lobed purple foliage (early leaves may be entire) which retains excellent color throughout summer, (2) magenta-pink single flowers in spring (April in St. Louis), (3) tiny maroon-red crabapples (1/4″ diameter) that mature in late summer and (4) excellent orange-red fall color.

Square Enix has officially announced Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 devices. This version of the game aims to retell the main story with a completely new visual experience for mobile. The characters are chibi-fied, meaning they have large heads and small bodies. They also are more polygonal in appearance, which is probably a result of fine tuning the experience for mobile devices.
This game will be out this fall for the aforementioned platforms. You can see it in action above. I'm not gonna lie, I kind of dig what I see and this may be a great way to experience the events of the game without syncing a ton of time into the console version. Stay tuned for more details.
A new trailer for FFXV proper was also released at Gamescom, and you can view it below.


This is the tutorial number 4 in our Golang tutorial series.
Please read Golang tutorial part 3: Variables of this series to learn about variables.
A bool type represents a boolean and is either true or false.
In the program above, a is assigned to true and b is assigned a false value.
c is assigned the value of a && b. The && operator returns true only when both a and b are true. So in this case c is false.
The || operator returns true when either a or b is true. In this case d is assigned to true since a is true. We will get the following output for this program.
int: represents 32 or 64 bit integers depending on the underlying platform. You should generally be using int to represent integers unless there is a need to use a specific sized integer.
size: 32 bits in 32 bit systems and 64 bit in 64 bit systems.
In the above program a is of type int and the type of b is inferred from the value assigned to it (95). As we have stated above, the size of int is 32 bit in 32 bit systems and 64 bit in 64 bit systems. Lets go ahead and verify this claim.
The type of a variable can be printed using %T format specifier in Printf method. Go has a package unsafe which has a Sizeof function which returns in bytes the size of the variable passed to it. unsafe package should be used with care as the code using it might have portability issues, but for the purposes of this tutorial we can use it.
The following program outputs the type and size of both variables a and b. %T is the format specifier to print the type and %d is used to print the size.
We can infer from the above output that a and b are of type int and they are 32 bit sized(4 bytes). The output will vary if you run the above program on a 64 bit system. In a 64 bit system, a and b occupy 64 bits (8 bytes).
uint : represents 32 or 64 bit unsigned integers depending on the underlying platform.
size : 32 bits in 32 bit systems and 64 bits in 64 bit systems.
Lets write a small program to understand complex numbers.
We will discuss bytes and runes in more detail when we learn about strings.
Strings are a collection of bytes in golang. It's alright if this definition doesn't make any sense. For now we can assume a string to be a collection of characters. We will learn about strings in detail in a separate tutorial.
Lets write a program using strings.
In the above program, first is assigned the string "Naveen", last is assigned the string "Ramanathan". Strings can be concatenated using the + operator. name is assigned the value of first concatenated to a space followed by last. The above program will print My name is Naveen Ramanathan as the output.
There are some more operations that can performed on strings. We will look at those in a separate tutorial.
Go is very strict about explicit typing. There is no automatic type promotion or conversion. Lets look at what this means with an example.
Now when you run the above program, you can see 122 as the output.
The same is the case with assignment. Explicit type conversion is required to assign a variable of one type to another. This is explained in the following program.
In line no. 9, i is converted to float64 and then assigned to j. When you try to assign i to j without any type conversion, the compiler will throw an error.
This brings us to an end of this tutorial. Please post your feedback and queries in the comments section.

Byg om vinteren er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1952, der er instrueret af Tore Amundsen efter manuskript af Jørgen Storm-Petersen.

Handling
Filmen gør på en munter måde op med den traditionelle opfattelse af, at alt byggeri må ligge stille i vintermånederne. Den viser muligheder for gennemførelse af et rationelt vinterbyggeri og fortæller om fordelene derved. Billedsiden består dels af realfilm dels af tegnefilm, og på lydsiden indledes og sluttes med en "byggesang", indsunget af tre pigestemmer.

The police department in Birur, Karnataka, is in the process of investigating the theft of as many as 25-40 truckloads of cow dung worth Rs 1.25 lakh which was stolen from the animal husbandry department.
Chikkamagaluru: Amidst reports of theft of priceless valuables from age-old temples, a bizarre case of theft has come to light from the Birur district of Karnataka. Police in the locality are in the process of investigating the curious case of cow dung worth Rs 1.25 lakhs which were stolen from the custody of the Animal Husbandry Department a few days ago.
The matter came to light after officials with the department registered an official complaint with the Birur police. In their complaint, the officials said that cow dung as much as 25 to 40 tractor loads has gone missing. Used for agricultural and horticultural activities, it is used extensively by farmers as a fertiliser for farming activities.
Circle Police Inspector (CPI), Birur, Sathyarnaya Swamy told Times of India that the Joint Director with the Department of Animal Husbandry approached the Yagati police station with a complaint regarding the theft. The officials alleged that the cow dung was stored at the Basur Amritmahal Kaval under Yagati police station limits from where it has now been shifted to private land in the locality. The owner of this land has also been named in the First Information Report (FIR), he added.
Acting on the complaint, Birur police have arrested a supervisor with the department of animal husbandry and are investigating the matter further. An official familiar with the matter said that the stolen cow dung will be returned to the concerned department soon. The involvement of more officials with the department in this regard is also being probed by the police.

Trial by William Feilden Craies
Triangle (geometry)

5488161911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 27 — TrialWilliam Feilden Craies
TRIAL, in English law, the hearing by a court of first instance of the issues of fact and law involved in a civil or criminal cause. The term is inappropriate to rehearing by an appellate court. Trial follows upon the completion of the steps necessary to bring the parties before the court and to adjust the issues upon which the court is to adjudicate, which may be summed up in the term pleading (q.v.). In England the trial is usually in open court, and it is rare to try cases in camera, or to attempt to exclude the public from the hearing. The essential part of the trial is that there should be full opportunity to both sides for evidence and argument on the questions in dispute. At present in England, as distinguished from the rest of Europe, the evidence is ordinarily taken viva voce in court, and affidavits and depositions are sparingly accepted, whereas under the XXVII. 9 continental system the bulk of the proofs in civil cases are reduced to writing before the hearing.
The modes of trial have altered with legal development in English as in Roman law (see Action). Many forms of trial, notably those by ordeal, by wager of battle or of law (see Ordeal and Wager), and by grand assize, have become obsolete, and new forms have been created by legislation in order to meet altered circumstances of society. Up to a very recent date the tendency of the Roman and English systems was in opposite directions. In the former and in systems founded on it, such as the Scottish and French, trial by the judge became the rule, in the latter trial by judge and jury. In England the method of trial of issues of fact arising under the common law was by jury and a bench of judges. In truth the trials were the sittings of commissioners sent to inquire and report with the aid of the neighbourhood on questions of crime and civil wrongs in a county; the practice is summed up in the old phrase ad quaestionem juris judices respondeant, ad quaestionem facti juratores. In courts which administered equity or derived their law or procedure from the civil or canon law no jury was used, and the judges determined both law and fact. The system of trial before a full bench of judges even with a jury is now used on the European continent, but has been superseded in England by trial before a single judge with a jury except in the rare cases of trial at bar. This latter mode of trial is a survival of the mode universal in the superior courts before the writ of nisi Arius, and is now only used in the king's bench division, when claimed by the Crown as of right or in cases of unusual importance and difficulty. Recent instances are the trial in 1904 of Arthur Lynch for treason in South Africa, and in 1905 of questions raised on a petition of right in respect of a claim to make the Crown responsible on the conquest of the Transvaal for acts of the Transvaal government before or during the war.
The necessity for trial by jury has been removed in many cases by legislation and rules of court (see Jury; Summary Jurisdiction), and the present English practice is summarized in the following statement.
In the High Court of Justice in England and Ireland several modes of trial are now used:
1. Trial by judge with a jury used in the king's bench division and in probate and matrimonial cases. There is a right to have a jury as a matter of course in actions of defamation, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, seduction and breach of promise of marriage. In other cases, subject to exceptions to be noted, a jury can be obtained on the application of either party.
2. Trial by a judge without a jury is invariable in the chancery division and now common in the other divisions. Cases in the chancery division are not tried with a jury unless a special order is made (Ord. 36, r. 3); and the High Court in cases in which trial without jury could be ordered without consent (1875) still retains the power of so trying them, and has also acquired power to direct trial without a jury of any issue requiring prolonged examination of documents or accounts or scientific or local investigation.
3. Trial with assessors, usual in admiralty cases (the assessors being nautical) but rare in other divisions.
4. Trial by an official referee in certain cases involving much detail (R.S.C.O. 36). In the county court the ordi:iary mode of trial is by the judge alone, but a jury of eight is allowed in certain cases on application, and in the admiralty jurisdiction marine assessors can be called in. In other local civil courts the trial is often by jury, as in the mayor's court of London, sometimes without, as in the vice-chancellor's court of the university of Oxford. In all civil cases the parties can by a proper submission have a trial before an arbitrator selected by or for them. As regards criminal cases the right to trial by due process of law before condemnation is given by art. 29 of Magna Carta; and the trial must be by jury unless a statute otherwise provides (see Court-Martial; Summary Jurisdiction). The parties may be represented by lawyers, solicitor or counsel or both, according to the court, in county courts by accredited lay agents, or may conduct their case in person. The trial is carried on by stating to the court the pleadings if any and by opening the plaintiff's case. This is followed by the evidence of the witnesses, who are sworn and examined and cross-examined. On the completion of the plaintiff's case and evidence, the defendant's case is stated and evidence adduced in support of it. The plaintiff or his lawyer has as a rule the reply or last word, though in some courts, described as single speech courts, no reply is given. At the conclusion the judge sums up the law and facts of the case to the jury, if there is one, and their verdict is returned, or if there is no jury gives judgment, stating his conclusions on the law and facts involved.
There remain certain modes of trial not obsolete but rarely used. Such are impeachment of the House of Commons before the House of Lords; and in the case of a charge of treason or felony by a person having privilege of peerage, trial on indictment before the House of Lords, or in vacation before the court of the lord high steward. Trials by certificate, by inspection and by record, are obsolete.
The decisions on a trial at first instance are reviewed by appeal (q.v.), or in trial cases heard before a jury by application for a new trial, where the judge has not directed the jury correctly as to the law or has permitted them to consider inadmissible evidence, or the jurors have in their verdict acted without evidence or against the weight, i.e. the quality not the quantity of the evidence. Under the Criminal Appeal Act 1907 the decisions in criminal trials on indictment, whether on matters of law or of fact or on mixed questions of law or fact, are reviewable by the court of criminal appeal; but that court has no power to order a retrial of the case before a jury.
Scotland.—Jury trial was introduced into Scotland for certain classes of civil cases in the 19th century but is not much used. In criminal cases it is used where summary jurisdiction has not been conferred.
Ireland.—The law of Ireland as to trials is in substance the same as in England, except as to appeals in criminal cases.
United States.—In the United States the system of trial is that of the English common law as varied by Federal and state legislation. (W. F. C.)

Knicks Fire Hornacek
Thread starter Broadway
I thought Coach Bud was safe in ATL since they stripped him of all their players. My guess is it's his decision to move on, with the Suns further ahead in the rebuilding process than the Hawks, he also relinquished the President title last year.
I'd look at anyone from the Spurs and Pops coaching tree.
Clifford was fired by the Hornets so there you go, we should give him an interview too. He had a tough situation there, although guided them to the playoffs a couple yrs
Broadway said:
Vogel also should get a shot, he threw his name back in the Knicks hat and Perry was involved in hiring him in ORL. I wouldn't hire Vogel but he's in Perry's circle of friends.
I said Fizdale, JVG and Jay Wright my top picks for the new coach. This guy has them as his top 3 of 11. Mark Jackson is #7.
[FONT=&quot]
[FONT=&quot]3. Jay Wright[/FONT]
Why it makes sense: No coach is more interesting on this list. Wright, one of the best coaches in college basketball, is coming off his second National Championship in three years at Villanova. For a coach that's "joked" about the idea of coaching the Knicks, the timing may never be better.
Why it doesn't: It's going to take a huge pay check to get Wright to leave Villanova for the current situation in New York.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2. Jeff Van Gundy[/FONT]
Why it makes sense: Only one coach has enjoyed real success under the ownership of James Dolan in New York: Van Gundy. If the ESPN analyst is ready to make the leap back to the bench, the Knicks can find stability again.
Why it doesn't: Van Gundy, although on top of the sport as one of the lead analysts in the world, hasn't coached in the NBA since 2007. A ton has changed in the last decade, and Van Gundy could need a full season to adjust.
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1. David Fizdale[/FONT]
Why it makes sense: The best candidate on the market. Fizdale has the backing of star players (including a relationship with LeBron James) and got a raw deal in Memphis.
Why it doesn't: Could be heading to the Hornets before the Knicks are ready to make a decision.
One thing about this Knicks front office is they haven't ruled out anyone in this coaching search bringing in JVG and Woodson for an interview. PJ would never bring in those guys. They also will likely not offer KP an extension this summer which I've been saying is the right business decision, gives me hope this may be a well run front office.
Jason Kidd should be a Top-3 priority for head coach on Perry list above Fizdale and Wright.
The Knicks need experience developer coaches having the ability to transform college level players into NBA level performances on the Knicks new coaching-staff.
Looks like the list consist of 4 but I feel it's a 3 man race and quite possibly a 2 man race
No college coaches, which is somewhat disappointing
Hornacek's departure was a given, Mills wants to clean house of Phil Jackson sooner than later. See him jump the gun and dump bucks on Hardaway the second Phil was gone, throwing stupid money at him and Ron Burgundy before Knicks organizatino blinked. would not be surprised to see Clarence Gaines gone with rest of staff, depending on who they hire. Perry seems to dig the nepotism vibe, signing players and people he's familiar with, as opposed to best fit for the team. As long as Mills runs this team and Dolan owns it, Perry will be making safe decisions. I'd say Vogel's got the best shot, but front office will interview everyone and show their due diligence while aces like Fizdale get scooped up.
Glad to see Horn gone, along with Rambis. His poor substitutions, his reliance on bench-class veterans starting (Sessions, Jack, Lance, Lee, Beasley) and playing the biggest minutes was at the core of losing basketball.
His doghouse affected players in a severely negative way, getting Noah thrown off the team and losing any chance of a trade, and causing Willy to ask for a trade for peanuts, when the center situation is precarious at best with Kanter and KO able to opt out this off-season.
With Horn in charge, the ball hardly moved, instead went into the post where Kanter and KP gobbled it up. Losing KP, this team went to hell, defensively and offensively.
On top of all this, Frank hardly developed, getting sh!tty backup minutes, getting pulled instead of letting him play through his mistakes, and watching as Knicks signed 4 PG's after he was drafted, all to start before him at his position.
Looking forward to a new coach who will help Frank realize his offensive potential, and have team play where the ball moves, players move, and Knicks get easier shots than what they've gotten the past few years.
dream situation: draft Mikal, hire Jay Wright
Best of luck Jeff, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Rambis? GTFO now
donchris
Next season, keep waiting
Much as I love VanGundy, he hasn't coached in 11 years and the game and league has changed tremendously during this time. Mark Jackson is intriguing, as is Fizdale. Not sure why we're talking about Stackhouse. I'd like to see a more tenured coach. Wright's not leaving Villanova. David Blat is a great Euro coach and could be interesting. Honestly, I really like that we're giving Woodson another shot.
If I had to rate the candidates, I'd do so in this order.
David Fizdale
Mike Woodson
David Blat
Head Coach Mark Jackson
Assistant coach Woodson & Stackhouse
?Fiz is a great fit anywhere,?? Spoelstra told reporters in Philadelphia on Monday, according to ESPN.com. ?He?s a brilliant basketball mind that has exceptional, gold-standard level communication skills. He?s one of my best friends.
?But I say that objectively. I just think he?s one of the most talented coaches I?ve been around. I feel very grateful that we had an opportunity to work together for so long. I just, I hope he goes West. That?s the kind of respect I have for him. I don?t want him going anywhere in the East.?If
The Knicks are not convinced Fizdale?s feud with his star European player is a red flag. It is a sensitive matter because their Latvian All-Star big man Kristaps Porzingis and fired head coach Jeff Hornacek didn?t get along well, especially in 2016-17, despite Porzingis saying they had ?a good relationship.??
According to an NBA source close to the situation, the Knicks coaching staff believes Porzingis was ?poisoned?? by Carmelo Anthony regarding last season?s coaching staff.

I've been hearing about how good a coach Fizdale was since he was an ass't with the Heat. Fiz will probably get multiple job offers and it's going to take a ton of convincing by Perry and Mills to get him here along with Dolan agreeing to open the Knicks check book. CHA strikes me as a good landing spot for Stackhouse so I think MJ goes to the head of the class for the Knicks job with Blatt a close second.

donchris said:
I like the list even tho I would put Woody half a step above Fiz. Woody didn?t get a fair shake and I believe the Knicks would play better defense under Woody. Mark Jackson is a no brainer and would be my first choice as well. Good to have old-heads like you and C.C. back on board.
This line-up would be a dream come true. I would love to see Stack on the staff, but I?m not sure if he?s ready to be head coach in the Knicks toxic, expectation laden environment. I?m not sure Woody would leave LA to be an assistant unless we hired Doc Rivers.
MIL 2 down in the series with BOS. I would think if the Bucks get swept they will be looking to replace Prunty. Going to be a lot of competition for the top coaches this off-season.
It would be nice if we hired the new head coach & assistant head coach before the start of the NBA Finals
Mark Jackson is in NY !!!
He?s interviewing today
If they can work out the compensation because Bud is still under contract for 17M/2 years the Knicks should hire him. Most qualified of any of the candidates but saving the Hawks the remaining 17M on his contract is all I would give the Hawks, no draft picks.
?Budenholzer?s record in five seasons with Atlanta was 213-197, after he finished a career-worst 24-58 this past season.
Budenholzer was a Spurs assistant under Gregg Popovich from 1996-2013. The Knicks will also meet with another coach on the Popovich tree, Spurs assistant James Borrego, according to ESPN. Borrego was interim head coach with Orlando in 2014-15 when current Knicks general manager Scott Perry was there.?
It's being reported the Hawks might not ask for picks but would accept the remainder of Bud's contract being bought out as reasonable compensation for him. He supposedly wants to live in NY also, Knicks have to hire this guy, if we can get him without giving up picks as compensation. I would give the Hawks cash if they wanted also.
htr10
I guess that I don?t entirely get the excitement for Budenholzer as coach instead of Mark Jackson or bringing back Woodson. Jackson and Woodson know how hard it is to deal with this franchise already. Budenholzer had good rosters his winning years in Atlanta and if he got used to a functional system his years in San Antonio, trying to function in NY might be impossible for him.

No complaints today. I really love my horses and what they do for me. Last night I had such a fun ride on Speedy G. It wasn't fancy, but it was lighthearted and he tried so hard to be a good boy. What's not to love?
Instead of the same old practice, practice, practice that we frequently do, I decided to shake things up. We walked the perimeter of our large arena as usual, but rather than going to my 20 X 20 meter schooling square, I asked Speedy G to boogie around the arena perimeter again, but this time at a brisk trot. He was a bit puzzled, but then he got into it. After a lap or two, I asked for the canter and just let him rock it out. After going about half way, he started flicking his ears at me as if to say, wait a minute, shouldn't I be doing this more slowly? I answered in the affirmative and asked him to shorten his body a bit and come onto the bit. He did so willingly so we made a nice circle and came back to walk.
Speedy was delighted. As soon as we started walking he dropped his head and stretched deeply. I could hear him saying, ahhh, that feels good! After a bit of walking, we changed directions and did the whole thing again going the other direction. The whole exercise took about 15 minutes tops, but Speedy did it with no fussing, bucking, or kicking at my leg. I'd say that was a very good first ride after the show. Who says we can't ride just for fun?
I hope no one says that! I think fun, 'free time' rides are the most important kind of rides. That sounded blissful just reading about it.
Hammer Horses - any word on the new pony? Being only 5"3 myself I don't mind riding small horses. When I bought Sydney I was actually looking around at pony sport horses. Keep us posted!
Kelly - having spent my entire life trail riding and endurance racing, the arena work is my choice. I have ridden EVERYWHERE including the beach, desert, mountains, plains, river bottoms, trails, etc.
I try to keep it fresh for my boys, but we do work pretty regularly on the basics. A quick gallop was just a lot of fun and I know Speedy G enjoyed himself. Even though it was for fun, I was hoping that if we galloped long enough, he would start to feel relaxed and happier to come onto the bit. I think it worked!
I started a series of endurance photos that you can check out by doing a topic search. I also have a photo gallery that shows pictures of us camping or competing at endurance races. Now that fall has finally arrived (literally today), we'll probably do more trail riding as the arena will start to get wet. Our river bottom has excellent drainage and can be ridden even in the rain.
The pony still has a big lump on her tummy (we think its an abcess) so her current owner is taking her to the vet tomorrow. If everything is as we think and it gets taken care of, she'll be coming up on the 12th. I'm very excited about her! BUT, I'd still like something to ride in the meantime!
I can't imagine not being able to ride. I always have at least two horses and the real reason is that there is always a back up. It's kind of an expensive plan, but so is therapy. This way I get therapy and exercise all at the same time.
Keeping my finger crossed for you!
Galloping - fabulous. Jumping - not so much. Logs, ditches, other stuff on the trail, yep. In the arena over a small cross-rail that will come down if we bump it, terrifying! I am glad someone likes to do it though because I love to watch the jumpers!
Thanks for the good wishes! I WILL have 2 horses I can ride - in another year. I have an excellently built and tempered yearling that I'll probably hop on for some walks or trail rides this time next year. He's a REALLY nice horse - we're not sure of his breeding but think the best of Quarabs and that about sums him up. I need to do a new post on him!
You really have ridden everywhere! Endurance took you to a lot of places. I wish we had trails, but there's not really anything like that here.
I really liked the endurance photos - can't wait to see more!
Kelly - that was the thing I most loved about endurance racing. I was able to ride in some of the most fantastic places ever. Much of the country we rode in was either private, or a pretty remote area of public forests and certainly too far for me to hike to!

Suzy Sikorski Highlights Art Dubai 2021
|In Listicle
|By Suzy Sikorski
DUBAI- Art Dubai's 14th edition took place at the infamous Dubai International Financial Centre between March 29th – April 3rd. During which, artmejo partnered up with Mid East Art's very own Suzy Sikorski who walked around the exhibition halls doing what she loves, collecting stories.
Suzy picked 10 of her favourite works from Art Dubai and is sharing their stories with artmejo. Upon "reviewing my selection on the whole," she said, she "was wholeheartedly attracted to natural forms, notions of isolation and separation, and the meditative experiences. Quite timely given these days!"
Here are Suzy's picks:
Nima Nabavi:
Third Line Gallery, Nima Nabavi, Pigment Paint on Linen, 165.1 cm x 83.82 cm
I had the chance to meet Nima Nabavi at the fair, discussing the largest work he's ever worked on—as part of the pieces he completed during the pandemic. Understanding his complex process using mainly pens, paint and rulers, Nabavi focuses on geometric abstraction and its connection to the natural world, with drawings and paintings that are heavily layered, grid-driven manifestations of imagined, ordered structures. The tessellated construct of the work is both rhythmic and meditative in process and experience. Quite refreshing to 'get lost' within the inner mechanic of the exacting composition, and equally as meditative in process for the artist!
Safwan Dahoul:
Ayyam Gallery, Safwan Dahoul, Dream 180, 2020, Acrylic on canvas, 200 x 200cm
Am I still dreaming? Safwan Dahoul's ongoing Dream series since the 1980s has explored the physical and psychological effects of alienation, solitude, and longing – a part of us that has been fully materialized during this time in quarantine. The recurring protagonist in these works are caught in a moment of paralysis and stagnation, overcome by the overwhelming subconscious in an event of mourning, estrangement, or political conflict. 'Dream 180' is part of Dahoul's recent technique painting the subject from an actual crumbled piece of paper depicting the face. The fragments and shards of the face, and rigid sharp impressions within it seem as if the female is floating underwater, playing with our imagination whether it is a reflection or the real depiction.
Anish Kapoor:
Galleria Continua, Anish Kapoor, Random Triangle Mirror, 2019, Courtesy the artist and Galleria Continua
Stand in line for taking this selfie! Random Triangle Mirror one of the hottest works to snap a picture of ourselves in tessellating expansion. Kapoor is one of the most acclaimed international artists of today, devoting his oeuvre to exploring the 'void' within his sculptural pieces and installations. This elegant sculpture combines simple materials, intricate geometric shape, and the organic curved disc form. Kapoor's use of mirror is both personal and at the same time impersonal given the striations and splinter of the real, in a way inviting us to touch and experience a different world and accept our sense of self as part of a larger universe. Immediately in this piece, we are transported into a fragmented reflection of ourselves— swallowed and encapsulated by the artist, our striated representations explode onto the space as we embraces metaphysical polarities of presence and absence, concealment and revelation.
Ibrahim El Dessouki:
Hafez Gallery, Ibrahim El Dessouki, Series of Gated Communities, pentaptych 3/5, 2020, Oil and oil bars on clear primed canvas, 170 × 150 cm
Commissioned pots by Haytham Hedaya for El Dessouki's Gated Communities
Ibrahim El Dessouki's paintings combines a unique ability to capture the hyper realistic in his painting style as he presents the inner soul of Egypt. His works are divided between indoor and outdoor compositions, the former capturing the beautiful realities of everyday objects, while the latter captures breathtaking landscapes and beautiful women strolling through the neighborhood. This particular work combines both for merging natural plants within the indoor and residential spaces. Depicting two kinds of cactus in beautifully painted menagerie of glazed pots, the piece showcases his deft ability to isolate negative space, and subtle manipulation of shadow and light in the reflections within the pots. As a commission, Haytham Hedaya, an Egyptian ceramist artist, produced a variety of pots, with many different shapes following a specific color palette and glazes. Elaborately painted and highly meticulous with several iterations and layers of paint, the piece exudes a sense of softness in the shine and texture of the pots, despite the harshness of the plants' natural properties; soft and curved forms meet harsh rigidity.

This stunning work by Omar Ba is explosive in the artist's figurative and decorative styles, inviting us into the surreal scenes of the Senegalese artist in both organic patterns and political elements. Splitting his time between Dakar and Geneva, Ba examines the traditional folklore and naturalist scenes of Senegal, while also building on larger discussions connecting histories Europe and Africa. This work in particular was from the Anomaly series just exhibited at Galerie Templon and is one of the only works depicting his self portrait. Ba is presented in a suit of the Western culture, and at the same time is submerged within a naturalistic scene inundated with flora and fauna of Senegal that overwhelm the composition. The work is both heavily textured in material and depiction, produced by mixing oil, gouache and crayon and delicately applied china ink with rough, readymade surfaces.
Souad Abdelrassoul:
Circle Art Agency, Souad Abdelrassoul, The Laura Flower, 2021, Acrylic on canvas, 178 x 177.5cm
Souad and her husband, the acclaimed artist Saleh Al Mur were the dynamic duo displayed at Circle Art Agency's booth this fair. This particular piece by Souad struck of chord in me, both for its timeliness in today's isolation, but also in recognizing the void and sense of separation within any of our relationships today. Exploring African figurative art, her subjects depict folkloric faces and examine the interactions between people, animals and plants, while simultaneously embracing the interior portraiture traditions of European painting. Are we seeing a couple in reality, or is it a figment of one of the sitter's imagination? The divide between the couple through the plant in the central axis, is quite literally separating the two sitters that are contrasted in figurative elements. Souad's careful attention to detail is met with conceptual rigor; the transparency of her white clothing, literally as if she is ghost-like, is met with the male figure who is completely saturated in dark browns.
Gouider Triki:

I was absorbed into the world of Tunisian artist Gouider Triki in Ballet in the Desert for its playfulness in form and color and sense of organized chaos. Presented with the delicate work on paper, I am overcome with an overwhelming soothing meditative state despite the overall cacophony of shapes, corrugated and staccato lines that inundate the composition. In his works, figurative elements and mystical symbols are drawn from Islamic and Berber traditions. Pulsating colors and rhythmic lines are met with figurative characters that appear as if animals, humanlike, or ghosts, bordering on magical and mystical symbols and floating within a dreamlike and imaginative state. Trained as a painter and engraver, today the artist splits his time between farming, herding and painting in Tunisia.
Nabil Nahas:
Agial Art & Saleh Barakat Gallery, Nabil Nahas, Fractal series, 2020, Acrylic on canvas, 51 x 47cm
This is a beautiful 'bite size' Fractal work from the Lebanese artist Nabil Nahas, its relatively small size compared to the much larger pieces that open a window into an underwater world of tropical coral reefs and natural landscape that are created out of ground pumice and acrylic. I love these smaller fractal works in their ability to feel as if 'regenerated' from his larger works that measure nearly 2 meters wide. Variations of tone and layered surfaces appear as if they are growing with biomorphic shapes with bright and deep blues and oranges, becoming a representation of the world in microcosmic scale that are based on Fractals. The theory of fractal geometry was first formulated in the 1970s by Benoit Mandelbrot, describing random events in nature derivative of departing from the ideal Euclidean geometry; finding these patterns in rough or fragmented geometric shapes that are split into parts, each of which is approximately a reduced size copy of the whole.
Afifa Aleiby:

A captivating solo dedicated to the Iraqi artist Afifa Aleiby and her recent works was on display at Kristin Hjellegjerge's booth. Here we are transported into Afifa's world of beautiful depictions of female characters. Studying her formal training at the Surikov Institute, Aleiby lived between Aden, Moscow and Florence, and presently in the Netherlands. Inspired by iconic Renaissance painting and religious icons and social realism, women and the female figure are a recurring figure in her works. Here we are presented with a selection of women in graceful demure, lost in thought and far from reality, completely dominating the composition. In Casta Diva, there is a relative tenderness to the way this regal, beautiful woman is presented, enveloped within the deep greens, and vibrantly charged yellows. Hard-edged lines are met with supple, curvaceous forms, including her attention to detail in the way the hair rests within her hands.
Yazan Abu Salameh:
Zawyeh Gallery, Yazan Abu Salameh
In need of playing with some Lego blocks on the pavement? An assortment are encapsulated within Palestinian artist Yazan Abu Salameh's work that appear as if a petrified remnant of a childhood's past. Exploring themes of home and separation while living in Bethlemen, Salameh uses a mixture of materials such as concrete, pebbles, wires in addition to Lego blocks and drawings. In this piece, smooth and rough textures of concrete are met with these playful blocks, highlighting contradictions in society and the fragility of life. Marking certain spots of the work by drawing a circle, Salameh presents a sort of magnifying glass, or the focal point of the piece, sharing almost miniature maps within the artist's own creative process and the lives of many Palestinians today. Salameh has taught art at several community centers including the Aidya Reugee Camp in Bethelemen and participated in several workshops including scenography at Al Quds College in Beit Jala.

What's the difference between naturopathic and functional medicine? It's a very good question. One that I have pondered for decades having been trained originally by two naturopathic doctors (ND's) in clinical nutrition and functional medicine myself. Most American's aren't familiar with the definition of naturopathic medicine so we can start looking at what is naturopathic medicine initially and then compare that arena to that of functional medicine. And it's not really a naturapathic vs functional medicine situation since some naturopaths actually practice functional medicine, although the vast majority of functional medicine doctors are not N.D.'s. Some functional medicine doctors that are not N.D's use naturopathic medicine too!
Naturopathic medicine is taught in various naturopathic medical schools throughout the U.S. They teach a four year curriculum as would a conventional medical school but they focus on natural treatments using herbs, clinical nutrition, diet changes and time tested naturopathic treatments such as juice fasting, water fasting, sauna therapy and more. Many of these natural treatments are as old as human kind, others are more modern and based on the most current and up to date science.
Graduates of naturopathic universities qualify for an N.D. or naturopathic doctor degree and are licensed in some but not all states. Overall in the last 30 years there has been an expansion of the number of states allowing naturopaths to practice as public interest in natural treatments has soared. It's an eclectic profession and I mean that in a good way, there is a wide variety of treatment options taught in the naturopathic schools and individual N.D.'s in private practice can vary widely in terms of the types of work they do. There are no naturopathic "standards of care" where one disease condition receives a generally agreed upon treatment protocol. Rather individual patients with the same condition may receive very different treatments and further, treatments offered vary widely from clinic to clinic.
Now when discussing naturopathic medicine vs. functional medicine we run into some conumdrums. One being some, but not all, N.D.'s practice functional medicine and so the difference between functional medicine and naturopathic medicine can get pretty blurry in a hurry. If I look at these issues in terms of the historical context, and this is just my opinion, I see functional medicine as having it's roots in naturopathy. But functional medicine has it's own distinct characteristics mainly in that it is not as broad a subject area. Functional medicine usually refers to lifestyle change medicine, which is also practiced by naturopaths, combined with advanced laboratory testing, which is sometimes but not always practiced by naturopaths. In a sense as a patient one would receive a wider range of potential treatment options in an N.D. clinic that in a purely functional medicine clinic. Although to be honest when comparing functional medicine vs. naturopathy, many, but not all functional medicine doctors incorporate elements of naturopathic practice into their work as well. So in a sense you can't make a simple comparison of functional medicine vs. naturopathic medicine since doctors on each side have adopted practices of their colleagues in the other camp.
Naturopath that does not use functional medicine but does practice naturopathy.
Naturopath that practices functional medicine and blends this with traditional naturopathy.
Naturopath that only practices functional medicine and does not delve into other areas of naturopathy.
Functional medicine practitioner that only uses functional medicine but does not incorporate other naturopathic concepts or treatments.
Functional medicine practitioner that uses functional medicine and other naturopathic treatments.
I would say the only variation on this theme that does not exist is there are no functional medicine doctors that only practice naturopathy. Other than that the two areas highly overlap.
My first two major functional medicine mentors were both N.D.'s so in my younger years I operated much as an N.D. would. I learned not only functional medicine from these doctors but also homeopathic medicine, clinical nutrition, use of flower essences and essential oils, emotional release techniques, use of classic naturopathic treatments such as coffee enemas, gallbladder flushes (don't try that at home without supervision!), fasting, juice fasting, herbal remedies and so on. As the years rolled by for me in my own practice I was drawn more and more towards functional medicine and have largely let go of any of the naturopathic treatments I was originally trained in. Although I don't use these treatments with patients I still very much believe in their potential for positive impact and so often refer out to other doctors depending on what an individual patient may need.
Some of the best and brightest, most well educated and research oriented functional medicine doctors are licensed as N.D.'s and so this understandable confusion exists when trying to delineate the differences between naturopaths and functional medicine practitioners.
If you are seeking functional medicine treatment you may well end up in an ND's office. If you are an ND then additional specialty training in functional medicine may appeal. If you are already a functional medicine doctor some exposure to naturopathic philosophy and practices may be in order. Look at me, I'm a mixed race person with a mixed professional background. My father was an Eastern European Jew and my mother is half Japanese and half Portuguese which makes me a Buddhist, Catholic Jew by birth! I was licensed as a chiropractor, trained primarily by naturopaths and now practice functional medicine. Takes a village.

A Reuters journalists perspective: The Trump/Putin press conference
Inside Thomson Reuters
In July 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for a summit meeting in Helsinki, Finland. Following the meeting, the two presidents held a joint news conference, where Jeff Mason, White House Correspondent for Reuters and past president of the White House Correspondents' Association, posed some strong questions to the leaders of the world's largest nuclear powers. We asked Jeff a few questions about the press conference and his role covering it.
You asked the first questions from the U.S. media at the Trump/Putin press conference. Can you tell us a little about that moment and being selected first?
"First, for some background, none of us knew when we went into that press conference who was going to get called on. We knew it was what we call a 'two and two,' which means there would be two questions for the U.S. side and two questions for the Russian side, but the White House did not give us a heads-up about who would get those questions. I wasn't expecting to get a question because I had already had a couple on this trip [in Brussels and Chequers]. But I was prepared. With regard to that moment when Sarah Sanders called my name, it caught me off guard… I stood up, obviously, and had my question ready: The president had kicked off his day in Helsinki by sending out a tweet that had blamed the U.S. for the deteriorating relationship with Russia and I just thought that needed to be asked about, and I did."
You have the spotlight for a very short period of time, with no guarantees in advance if you will be given that time at all. How do you choose what question(s) to ask?
"At a summit like this, there were myriad topics that would have been newsy, including very policy-oriented things – plans for nuclear disarmament, Syria, Ukraine – but, the context and the significance of President Trump at all meeting with President Putin made the newsier questions something along the line of what I asked. But in general, broadly, you have to be prepared for a lot of things, especially if there are several questions that will be taken from the press corps, because it happens every once in a while that someone will ask the question that is first on your list."
What was the general feeling in the room overall?
"You know, there was a sense of shellshock at the conclusion of that press conference. Both the presidents' responses to my questions and President Putin's responses to my questions, along with the responses to my colleague's from the AP, were – in many ways – so unusual that I think that people [in the room] were shocked the same way that people watching on TV were shocked. And that's not an experience that I normally have at the end of a presidential press conference. There was just a sense of 'wow – that just happened.' There's no question that this was a moment in history. It really was. It's going to have an impact on this presidency and possibly on many other things going forward in terms of foreign policy."
Do you think this moment will also be equally significant for you personally as a journalist?
"I think so, yes. I didn't know that going in, but the response has been overwhelming. I've heard from people, including people from within Thomson Reuters who don't work for the editorial side who I've never met before, to say how proud they were to work for TR when they saw me and that meant a lot to me. Also…it's nice for me as a member of the White House press corps to have participated in or, perhaps, created or contributed to a moment where the press corps can shine. And I think we did. And I think Americans and Europeans and others were able to see the importance of a free press. If you compare the questions that I and my colleague from the AP asked to those that were asked from the Russian side, it illustrates the difference in terms of aggressive questioning and the responses that come from that."
What made this summit stand out among other events you have covered?
"It's not unusual for a president to meet with a foreign leader, obviously. But it was the context of the Russia investigation and President Trump's few days before that in which he was so critical of U.S. allies and so aggressive against what are traditionally considered U.S. friends. And then to contrast that with his tone about Vladimir Putin, a known strongman, and who – I don't need to repeat here – has been accused by U.S. intelligence agencies as having meddled in the 2016 election...the context of all of that was striking."
For those who are unfamiliar, can you explain – in brief – how the pool works/covers the president?
"Sure. There are 13 journalists who are part of the White House pool. That includes three from television (a cameraperson, a sound person and a correspondent or producer); it includes four still photographers; a print pooler and a backup print pooler; a radio correspondent; and then the three wires – Reuters, AP and Bloomberg. Reuters has two permanent seats in the pool: the writer, which was the role I was playing, and a still photographer.
That means that we're present for everything. It's a great responsibility and a great thing for Reuters because we're there and can get market-moving news out to the world in real-time; those who aren't in the pool have to wait for a pool report. That's a real benefit to Reuters and TR clients. It also leads to opportunities that I had in Helsinki to be present and ask questions at press conferences."
"I would add that it's been gratifying to hear from people within the company. I think the support for a free press and the support for what Reuters does…around the world is terrific. It's a privilege to work for a company that is committed to neutral journalism. And I think that good journalism has never been more important than it is now. That includes asking tough, direct questions like I had the chance to do at the press conference, but it also includes lots of other things that we do at Reuters."
Jeff Mason is a White House Correspondent for Reuters. He was the president of the White House Correspondents' Association from 2016-2017, representing the press corps during the initial months of President Donald Trump's administration. He was the lead Reuters correspondent for President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign. He has interviewed President Obama and President Trump. Jeff has been based in Washington since 2008, when he covered the historic race between Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Jeff started his career in Frankfurt, Germany, where he covered the airline industry before moving to Brussels, Belgium, where he covered the European Union. He is a Colorado native, proud graduate of Northwestern University and former Fulbright scholar.

What Makes Samantha Bee Laugh Every Time
The Daily Show alum, host of the forthcoming TBS late-night show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, fills in a few blanks.
As told to Molly Simms
Photo: Eric Ray Davidson
I always laugh when...I hear my three children playing with their dolls, channeling the things I say when I'm angry. Like "Guys, that is unacceptable. Absolutely not. We spoke about this." It's incredible to hear your own words from the mouths of stuffed animals.
The first thing I do when I get home is...immediately take off my pants. Then I walk around half-dressed for a while. But it's not sexy half-naked, it's awful half-naked. Pants are like boa constrictors to me. I guess I could get bigger pants. I should probably just do that.
My biggest pet peeve is...when I'm in a meeting with a man who has some control over my work, and the only thing he can think to ask me about is my children—and then he clearly doesn't care about the answer. I bet most professional women have found themselves in that position. Also, I don't like when people pee in public. I mean, does anyone?
People are surprised to learn...that I really enjoy domestic chores. We recently moved into a new building for the show, and when I saw the office kitchen, I said, "I need bleach and rubber gloves!" We're going to have the cleanest kitchen in late night, no question. I'm probably setting the women's movement back 100 years, but I'll be there at midnight with my bucket.
