I have a small farm with chickens, ducks, and milk goats. Would sheep fit in? And what would I need to keep them?
Sheep suitability to a small farm depends a lot on the acreage you can utilize for sheep, how much you are willing to spend, and if you have strong helpers or not, depending on the size and number of the sheep.
Acreage: I have 3 acres, which means I will never have enough pasture for grazing. I primarily buy my alfalfa/grass hay and feed it all year long, with a short time allowed in the pasture for my ewes, so they at least know what pasture is. This is expensive. Also, I keep all my rams (most people do not carry so many rams) in large, individual or 2-sheep pens, which are composed of cattle panels. This is also expensive, and means that you have to plan carefully to get all the pens in your acreage, and leave room for other things. My ewes are kept communally in 2 separate pastures, one for higher maintenance sheep and one for lower maintenance. They must be able to be separated out in different pens during breeding times, if you want to maintain registered sheep of several breeds. You also need a place to store hay, an equipment and supplemental food shed, and at least a loafing shelter in each enclosure.
Depending on your weather, a barn is great; not necessarily insulated in all but the most northern states. All of these things can be managed on a budget with a little more planning than if you didn't have a budget. Also lots of building materials can be salvaged from various sources, and can be used instead of new items, although the operation may not look quite as "spiffy." However, the only necessity is that the ram pens must be secure.
If you have large sheep (225-350), and especially if you have a number of large sheep, it is best to be young and strong, or employ some young and strong people. Mostly sheep eat, sleep and tend to their business quite happily with no intervention. But when it comes time to catch them and give them medication, or help with a difficult birth, or trim their feet, a 300 pound sheep becomes overwhelming. Many of my sheep are halter trained, or are at least fairly easily handled, but during shearing, medicating, or "train wrecks", someone much younger and stronger than I am is completely necessary. If you chose medium sized or small sheep, those issues more nor less disappear.
All those things included, in my opinion, sheep are much easier to keep than cattle or horses, which require a lot more initial knowledge, some specialized, rather large equipment (squeeze chutes, etc) and more stout fencing. Obviously, they are smaller and more easily handled, and it is entirely possible to make your ewes "pets", if that is what you wish. They will come to their names when called, and beg for grain handouts if you go in for those sorts of treats. A ram can never be a pet, although all my rams are particularly civil boys, or they don't stay here long. Making a pet of a ram is a recipe for disaster, and certainly not the ram's fault when he becomes so chummy with you that he thinks it is funny and fun to knock you across the sheep pen as a game.
Some of this answer depends on what you are going to do with the sheep. If you are going to breed them for lambs as often as you can, they will need a diet higher in nutrition (grain versus grass). Also, if you intend to compete and show your sheep, some breeds will need a higher intake of grain-type foods than just pasture or hay. But all the breeds on Cunnington Farms do very well indeed on dry-land alfalfa hay sometimes mixed with high-quality grass hay, with a little grain during lambing/raising lambs, plenty of salt and mineral supplements, and, although I do not have this luxury, if you are lucky enough to have ample pasture, pasture-feeding as long as the land will sustain it. My sheep must be thrifty and easy keepers, or they move on to more indulgent farms.
Do I need to keep a ram?
This is a hard question to answer. For me, choosing to keep rams is easy, because I never have to look for one to lease or borrow, and never want to have to do that. My pens are ultra secure, and the rams can bash them all night and they can't escape and get out onto the road. I am cautious around my rams, and can still run fast enough to get out of the way of a charging, love-sick ram in breeding season, who near-sightedly might think I am fair game. But if you are determined to have sheep, and you are an 80 year old tiny frail woman, it might not be a good idea to have a ram/rams. There is much less leasing and loaning of rams than there was in the past; we mostly knew our neighbors then, and many farms had the same breed of sheep. Not only is that not true now, but people are more worried about trading diseases between farms. This subject is often very personal in it's solution, and I work with potential buyers to make sure they are satisfied with their decision to keep a ram or not.
Do you think I will be able to handle my ewes giving birth?
I have been a health-care professional for 51 years, and it is still hard for me to see one of my darling ewe girls straining in pain because her lambs are turned around and presenting wrong, and she needs my help to get them out before she gives up and dies or delivers dead babies.
So…….all the sheep on Cunnington farms have a genetic history of being a breed that lambs easily, with very little intervention of the shepherd. That is not to say that I have never assisted in a lamb birth; far from it. But of the many breeds I have, all have a less hard time lambing than all the breeds that I DON'T have, for that very reason. Occasionally, all breeds have difficult births, and a shepherd has to be ready and knowledgeable enough to help, or call the vet, if the ewe is in trouble. But it happens far less frequently in the breeds that I raise than in other breeds. A caviat is, however, that if birthing is too "icky" for you, you probably don't want to have sheep, because sooner or later, you can count on being out in the barn in your nightgown and snowboots, crooning to a ewe that is a first-time mother and needs some reassurance.
What other work will I have with my sheep besides feeding?
While I give the very most minimum medication I can, my sheep still need to have shots, and usually some oral medications. You can either learn to give shots, or pay someone to do it for you. At most, this will be 2 or 3 times a year for each sheep. Giving oral meds, like wormer or a supernutritional supplement, is as easy as filling a syringe (or a turkey baster, if necessary) and squirting the stuff into an open sheep mouth (opening the mouth with your finger, and being careful not to get gummed).
Sheep feet have to be trimmed, sometimes as much as every 3 months, unless your sheep are quartered on very harsh ground that wears down their hoof. This is not a particularly difficult task, but it IS a 2-man (or more) task, and is made infinitely easier by having a sheep hammock, which you can buy at any sheep supply house, that lets you lay them on their back, legs in the air, hoofs ready and accessible to be trimmed.
And of course you have to clean pens, which is always just a grin and bear it job.
Many folks halter-train their sheep, and it does make it easier to handle them, especially if you are going to move them around a lot, or if you are going to show them. This is no more difficult that teaching a dog to "sit" or a horse to "whoa".
What kind of housing do I have to have for my sheep?
This depends a lot on your weather. In this high desert climate of Moab, I have a deep "loafing" shed, where the interior is divided into jugs for lambing, and in front of the jugs, which also can be opened up for holing up way away from the sun, there is a large roofed area where the sheep can get out of the sun/rain/snow. I also have a barn for lambing, although it is not elaborate or large. I usually lamb in the spring, but occasionally we do have a cold spring, and I would rather have a barn as an ace in the hole than not. Baring having a loafing shed, large, shady trees will work, and some shepherds build tall, wall-like braced structures to block the wind, which sheep can shelter behind in a storm.
How much do sheep cost to purchase?
Again, this depends on the breed of sheep, and if you intend to do the show circuit or not.
A champion, ribboned sheep can often cost $2500, and I have known some folks that would be willing to, and have paid $10,000 for a ram. I love my sheep, and I want to produce the best animals for sale that I can. But I also raise sheep in the west, and over the many years I have been in business, I have found that prices for sheep are quite a bit lower in the west than in the eastern US or the west coast. In comparing prices with a large number of breeders that I know, or know of, I have found that quality sheep of most breeds can be purchased for under $600, with many in the $200-350 range. Some breeders charge much less for their lambs, with the premise that there can be lots of lamb accidents before maturity, and you are gambling on those lambs growing up, much less growing up to be excellent sheep. Some breeders have the same price for adult, young or old sheep. Mostly I am talking about either registered animals, or cross-breeds that are not accidental, but are bred with a purpose and goal in mind; excellent wool, extra carcass weight, etc. Many times the crossbreeds are somewhat less expensive than the purebreds. And I know quite a number of breeders that are into barter!
How do I buy a sheep and how do I get it home?
Sometimes you will see a sheep you want on a website, and that is that. Lots of breeders will give farm tours of their ranch, and you can see the animals you want to buy that way.
If it is at all possible for you to do so, it is really good to actually travel to the farm/ranch that is selling you the animals. You can see the conditions the sheep were raised in, and the appearance of the entire flock. You can also ask more questions to help you be a good shepherd than if you have your sheep "delivered" to you. And you might also have a friend who has bought sheep successfully from a breeder, you may even decide to send money for a sheep, sight unseen, to that breeder, and have someone else ship the animal back home to you.
Sometimes a breeder will want a deposit if you will not get your chosen sheep immediately; sometimes not. Some breeders have payment plans; most don't.
If you are not going to invest in a stock trailer, a truck stock rack, or carrying the sheep in the back of your SUV when you first buy your sheep, you will have to have someone transport the sheep to your place. Generally, it is better to have the breeder do this, although price is usually the deciding factor here. Commercial stock transport outfits do a good job, mostly, but are really expensive. Early in my sheep days I had a few sheep transported from the west coast to Moab, and it cost about $1800; and that was a while ago. Some breeders will be happy if you make the effort to borrow a trailer, and at least meet them half way between their farm and yours. Breeders are more apt to transport the sheep you are buying from them than transporting other sheep you might want to add to the mix, but it never hurts to ask. A few breeders will transport for the price of gas, lodging and food, but if you get a deal like that, you better jump on it!

When I first started making this recipe, I always used the canned chicken because it was SO much easier. Then I started making this for showers and family gatherings and it got a little pricey to make the bigger batches using the canned chicken. So I started baking my own chicken and never looked back. Cheaper and much more tasty.
First, I line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (it's easy clean up) and fill it with frozen chicken tenders. I have never counted exactly how many chicken tenders I use but a cookie sheet full has always been almost exactly what I need.
Then I coat the tenders with the cooking spray and sprinkle them spices. I like to use salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash and Season All.
Bake them for about 20-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven (depending on the thickness of the chicken) until done.
and dice up the cup of pickles.
Next, I add the cup of mayonnaise, along with the teaspoon of salt and the 2 tablespoons of parsley.
Mix well. This recipe tastes even better the longer it sits so I like to let it set in the fridge for at least an hour.
Right before serving, I add the half a cup of almonds.
Then serve on a croissant and enjoy!
With spring just around the corner, I know I will be making this quite a bit for picnics and family gatherings. In fact, for this blog post I had to make the recipe twice because my family ate all the chicken salad before I was able to get a final picture. I really should know better by now.
What about you? Do you have a favorite go-to recipe that you love?

Sample python script and Dockerfiles to automate building docker images with different SSH clients/versions for generating HASSH fingerprints.
As a demonstration we created a list ([sshClient_list](sshClient_list)) containing 49 different version of OpenSSH, Python's paramiko and Dropbear SSH clients and generated a database of HASSH fingerprints in [JSON](hassh_fingerprints.json) and [CSV](hassh_fingerprints.csv) formats.

## Getting Started
1. Install Docker CE:
    > [Download Docker Engine](https://store.docker.com/search?type=edition&offering=community)

2. Install the Docker's Python library:
    > `pipenv install docker`

4. Test:
    > `pipenv run python3 hasshgen.py -h`

Output:

```
usage: hasshgen.py [-h] [-i IMAGE] [-iV IMAGE_VER] [-c SSHCLIENT]
                   [-cV SSHCLIENT_VER] [-d DOCKER_FILE] -s SERVER
                   [-iF INPUT_FILE] [-f] [--cmd CMD]

A python script to automate building docker images with different SSH
clients/versions.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i IMAGE, --image IMAGE
                        Docker image name. e.g. alpine, ubuntu
  -iV IMAGE_VER, --image_ver IMAGE_VER
                        Docker image version. e.g. 18.04, latest
  -c SSHCLIENT, --sshclient SSHCLIENT
                        SSH client name
  -cV SSHCLIENT_VER, --sshclient_ver SSHCLIENT_VER
                        SSH client version
  -d DOCKER_FILE, --docker_file DOCKER_FILE
                        Specify the Dockerfile
  -s SERVER, --server SERVER
                        Specify the server address to test the SSH connection
  -iF INPUT_FILE, --input_file INPUT_FILE
                        Bulk mode; Specify an input file containing a list of
                        docker image, image version, sshclient and sshclient
                        version
  -f, --fingerprint     Set this option to automatically run hassh.py for
                        capturing SSH client fingerprints (HASSH). Specify the
                        command for running hassh.py using --cmd arg.
  --cmd CMD             Enter the command for running hassh.py. Use with
                        -f/--fingerprint arg
```

## Usage
 * Build and run a docker image with specific SSH client/version:
```
$ python3 hasshgen.py --docker_file Dockerfile.alpine --image alpine -iV 3.6 --sshclient openssh-client --sshclient_ver 7.5_p1-r2 --server <your-ssh-server>

[+] <Image: 'hasshgen:alpine0'> successfully built
    - image: alpine:3.6, ssh client: openssh-client 7.5_p1-r2
[+] Command successfully executed!
 ```

After building the docker image, the script runs a SSH command to generate SSH connections for fingerprinting. It currently supports openssh, paramiko, and dropbear SSH clients. You can easily add other SSH clients.

 * Build docker images using an input file in this format: [sshClient_list](sshClient_list)
```
$ python3 hasshgen.py --input_file sshClient_list --server <your-ssh-server>
[+] <Image: 'hasshgen:alpine1'> successfully built
    - image: alpine:3.3, ssh client: openssh-client 7.2_p2-r3
[+] Command successfully executed!
[+] <Image: 'hasshgen:alpine2'> successfully built
    - image: alpine:3.4, ssh client: openssh-client 7.2_p2-r5
[+] Command successfully executed!
[+] <Image: 'hasshgen:alpine3'> successfully built
    - image: alpine:3.5, ssh client: openssh-client 7.4_p1-r1
[+] Command successfully executed!
```

 * You can use `-f` or `--fingerprint` arg to automatically run `hassh.py` for extracting the fingerprints. Use `--cmd` to change the default HASSH_COMMAND:
 ```
$ python3 hasshgen.py --input_file sshClient_list --server <your-ssh-server> --fingerprint --cmd 'python3 ../hassh.py -i eth0 -l json -o fingerprint.json'
 ```

When we talk about visiting museums, we talk primarily about looking at, or seeing, the exhibits. Occasionally, displays might include an auditory element, but very rarely are our noses, mouths, or hands given much to do. This is symptomatic of a more general prioritisation of sight within Western education, and even Western languages, which tend to conflate the acts of seeing, believing, and understanding – 'Ah, I see', to give an English example. Our perception of the world, though – and indeed the positioning of the self within it – relies on an amalgamation of all five senses.
On Friday 15th May, Pitt Rivers Musem and the Museum of Natural History aim to offset the dominance of vision. With 'Sensations', a multi-sensory evening held as part of the ongoing Museums at Night series, the two venues encourage visitors to 'explore the galleries with more than just your eyes.' As usual, there will be live music beneath the dinosaurs throughout the night, this time complemented by performances from sound artists Mike Blow and Alex Allmont, who will be using Theremins, sound waves, and synthesisers to channel the spirit of mad professors from the 1950s.
Many of the evening's activities provide insights into sight, with scientists from the University of Oxford explaining the relationship between the eyes and the brain, and testing your binocular vision – can you see as well with one eye as with two? You will also be able to make your own thaumatrope, a toy dating from the nineteenth century that, when spun, forms an optical illusion. The Sensations evening promises to be another engaging entry in the Museums at Night series, this time enabling visitors not only to see the museum in a new light, but also supplying a rare occasion for the other four senses to share centre stage.
Sensations is a one-night only event, taking place on Friday 15th May. Tickets are £5, with a concessionary group rate of four tickets for £15.

BESSEL_JN(N, X) computes the Bessel function of the first kind of order N of X. This function is available under the name BESJN as a GNU extension. If N and X are arrays, their ranks and shapes shall conform.
BESSEL_JN(N1, N2, X) returns an array with the Bessel functions of the first kind of the orders N1 to N2.
N Shall be a scalar or an array of type INTEGER.
N1 Shall be a non-negative scalar of type INTEGER.
N2 Shall be a non-negative scalar of type INTEGER.
X Shall be a scalar or an array of type REAL; for BESSEL_JN(N1, N2, X) it shall be scalar.
The return value is a scalar of type REAL. It has the same kind as X.
The transformational function uses a recurrence algorithm which might, for some values of X, lead to different results than calls to the elemental function.

Q: Bluetooth frequency-hopping advantages i'm learning now the about Bluetooth (and BLE) and feel I need some explanation what the advantages of using frequency-hopping method. Can anyone please explain me in simple words (with examples, please) what we earn from the frequency-hopping? i know it should minimize interference, but don't understand how and why.
Thanks!

A: Frequency hopping radios have a bunch of possible carrier frequencies that they can use for communicating. The receiving end of the link has to hop in sync with the transmitter and this means being able to predict correctly where to "move" its carrier frequency and when. This is usually accomplished by a "table" held in software at each end and some mechanism for keeping in sync.
If the pair of radios "fail" to communicate on one particular hop, there is a mechanism that allows both to recover from this fail and, importantly, that particular hop frequency is "marked" as temporarily unsuitable. Thus there is an algorithm at both ends that causes the "table" to evolve.
The upshot is that both ends of the link are evolving a "hop" table and that table contains frequencies that are generally the best to use to avoid data loss from interferers.

A: As mentioned by the other posters, frequency hopping is a transmission technique where the transmitter "hops" between different frequencies with the aim of improving the transmission performance.On the receiver side there are two ways the receiver can receive the information - coherently or more commonly incoherently.
In coherent detection the receiver knows the hopping sequence so the receiver just hops in sync with the receiver and gets the transmitted data.In incoherent detection the receiver uses a maximum likelihood (ML) detector to figure out which frequency data was transmitted in.The ML detector basically just looks at which frequency band has the highest energy/power and picks that as the transmission frequency.
The big advantage of using this technique is improved transmission performance - If one frequency has a high amount of channel fading you can just avoid that frequency and hop between the other frequencies.But it is VERY important to realise that for this advantage to be realised the separation between the hopping channels has to be greater than the coherence bandwidth of the channel, if the separation is lower than the coherence bandwidth adjacent frequencies will be highly correlated and will thus suffer similar fading, making it useless to hop between them.
As for jamming, In order to use a purely frequency hopping based transmission scheme to prevent jamming, you would need to jump between frequencies with high levels of separation to prevent an intruder of using a jammer to just Jam all your signals.This is often not possible as you are usually limited to using a very small frequency band for transmission e.g 2.40GHz to 2.49GHz.A jammer could easily just jam that entire range of frequencies and render your transmission scheme useless.This problem is usually solved by using frequency hopping along with a another technique called "spreading" which helps prevent Jamming, you can look up spreading if you are interested to see how it works.

A: Back in the 1940s Hedy Lamarr (a very famous actress in the day) came up with the idea of frequency hopping for controlling torpedos.

This prevented frequency jamming of the guidance controls and so inadvertently invented the basis for cell phones and wi-fi.
Basically if one frequency channel is 'jammed' you detect the error and jump to another clear channel.

Servers are crashing, bad memory modules or hot weather?
I cannot figure out the reason, but recently, 2 of my servers both with 8 x 16GB of Kingstone DDR3 1600 MHz ECC REG memory give me the correctable ECC memory error messages. One of the server can recover by itself, another is totally dead with stucking at following screen on startup.
I used to resolve such problems by find and pop out the problematic modules. The server that cannot recover by itself is the server that I put it to the data center as a long term running server. I suffered 6 times of memory failure from different modules that was plugged into the same slot. Last year, I start to suspect there should be cooling problem, while there may have no air flow through the module and it gets overheat. The chassis for the server is a 1U with 4 hard drive. I invested a lot of resource on this machine, makes the small space crowded with 2 more SSDs for caching and 1 more shell less router for IPMI. Once I unplugged the memory module that cannot get any air flow, it was stabilized for a while (nearly 1 year), and got crashed today.
If I unplugged the modules that was indicated as problematic, other modules fails in the next round of tests. That leaves me no other options but ignore it.
I have another machine with 2 x 16GB of Samsung 2133 MHz DDR4 REG ECC memory. Which was assembled in the beginning of last year does not have such problems even it's memory was exhausted and start to taking swap. I highly suspect the failures may been caused by the heat or maybe my hardware provider did not give me the qualified parts (motherboard may also cause such problems).
Right now, I decided to upgrade the machine with Samsung memory to 96GB, and one piece of Intel 750 400GB SSD as secondary storage for project Morpheus. I also planned to replace the machine in the data center with new one. My new server will take more care of head sink problems, hope it won't be so annoying in the future.
I don't suggest purchase hardware and place in the data center when cloud platforms (for example DigitalOcean and Amazon EC2) are affordable for their applications. My use cases are harsh, I have to customize my servers to balance performance and prices, and also have to manager server hardware problems by myself.


Brain Bubbles. If the name's not immediately fully descriptive (especially when combined with previous post about seeking a new voice), I'll explain another time. I've already written too much saying that much.
This is not particularly reflective of anything in particular; just ruminations about then and now.
More reflective of peculiar than particular!
I went from a performance-oriented west coast art work environment to a Midwest office corporate environment. The cultural context comparisons continue to endear, befuddle and amuse.
The contrasts have some main axes: west coast social versus Midwest social; art world versus corporate world; content-oriented versus object-oriented.
Anyway, along the long corporate years, I've often smirked at the contrast between corporate budget concerns that disallow donuts at monthly meetings (donuts!) and Hollywood spending tens of thousands on daily catering.
Donuts once a month seems so… trivial to me. A film, a concert tour, a major play; it takes big budgets to pull these off. Budgets in the millions sometimes.
I guess it's a matter of scale and moment.
Hollywood is like titanium. Amazing stuff, but sometimes brittle.
A great deal centers on the performance (and public appreciation of) of the key, most costly players.
The element of fickle public perception (both of performers and content) makes success brittle.
Success is elusive and hard to hold.
In general, art produces single items at a time. Corporations produce a range of products over time.
Art produces its product hoping it'll be liked (or at least regarded). Corporations live off producing what already sells.
New products are a bit like art. Will the public like them? New Coke, anyone?
So naturally the art and corporate worlds have very different business models.
I just wish the corporate one wasn't so stodgy and stuffy sometimes.

If it seems like you're waiting a lifetime for a bowel movement, then you might want to ask your doctor about probiotics.
While probiotics have long been popular in Europe and Japan, these friendly bacteria are just now making it to North America in food products and dietary supplements. But it's not just a matter of swallowing random bacteria. The two main types of bacteria considered to be probiotics include strains from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera (other genera, such as Escherichia, Enterococcus and Saccharomyces have also been designated probiotics, but to a lesser and more questionable extent). Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are made up of different strains, each of which has a different health function. To truly understand the potential benefit to your body, you have to research the difference between Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
In general, though, probiotics are espoused for a variety of ills, everything from constipation to cancer treatment. Scientists believe that probiotics work by repopulating the gut with good bacteria, which can be eliminated along with bad bacteria during a course of antibiotics. Additionally, probiotics are believed to have the power to fight off pathogens and toxins, as well as strengthen the gut fortresses that will eventually have to do battle with the same.
How does this hypothesis of how probiotics work translate into a health benefit? In some cases, the evidence is a bit shaky. Right now, the clearest benefit of probiotics, backed up by scientific study, comes in the field of gastrointestinal conditions, such as antibiotic-associated diarrhea, acute infectious diarrhea (such as traveler's diarrhea) and irritable bowel syndrome. In one study, probiotics reduced the risk of developing diarrhea associated with antibiotics by 52 percent, and they have been shown to cut the risk and duration of infectious diarrhea as well [source: Kligher, Cohrssen]. Probiotics are successful in treating diarrhea caused by rotavirus in children as well.
As for irritable bowel syndrome, probiotics seem to have the neat effect of both relieving you when it won't come out (constipation) as well as when too much is coming out (diarrhea). In the case of Activia, Dannon's studies show that Activia can speed up the amount of time it takes for waste to exit the system by about 40 percent, if a person with irregular bowel movements were to eat one container a day [source: Warner].
If the results aren't completely in, then how can manufacturers already have probiotic products on the market for these conditions? Find out about how the package doesn't always match the product on the next page.
Just as some of us are starting to wrap our heads around the idea of probiotics comes word that maybe we should be focused on prebiotics instead. Prebiotics are food ingredients that stimulate the growth of good bacteria in the colon, as opposed to probiotics, which just dump some new bacteria into the mix. Prebiotics, found naturally in oats, chicory, bananas, onions and some honey, appeared to boost the immune system in early testing [source: Bee]. You could also try to cover all your bases with a synbiotic approach, or a mixture of probiotics and prebiotics, though, as with everything else in this field, more studies on this approach are needed.

Trump Awards Tiger Woods with Presidential Medal of Freedom
- in ENTERTAINMENT & THE ARTS
Donald Trump has awarded Tiger Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest US civilian honour.
Woods, who fought back to a dramatic Masters win last month following years plagued by injury, is by far the youngest golfer to receive the distinction.
But the president's decision to honour a 43-year-old sportsman who is his long-time friend and business partner has raised questions about whether the award was merited.
Trump is the fourth golfer to receive the medal, following Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Charlie Sifford.
Woods dominated golf for more than a decade, but went 11 years without a major until winning the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in April in a comeback which captivated the sporting world.
Last month, following Woods' Masters win in Georgia, he tweeted that he would honour the golfer in recognition of his "incredible Success & Comeback in Sports (Golf) and, more importantly, LIFE."
Woods ranks second in PGA Tour wins, one shy of Sam Snead's all-time record of 82. His 15 major tournament victories are three less than Nicklaus, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the age of 65 by George W. Bush.
Mr Trump hailed Woods as a "great guy" on Monday. He added: "He introduced countless new people to the sport of golf, from every background and walk of life … Tiger Woods is a global symbol of American excellence, devotion and drive."
The president has eagerly leapt on the Woods bandwagon and has been using his fame to attract fans to his properties for decades. Following the golfer's first Masters win in 1997, Mr Trump got Woods to show up at his Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey – prompting thousands of fans to turn up.
The pair have also golfed together several times, as well as striking business deals.
Golfers at the president's club in Doral, Florida, can stay at the Tiger Woods Villa. At a ribbon cutting ceremony in 2014, Woods lavished praise on the future presidential candidate, calling changes he made to the club "phenomenal."
In Dubai, Woods designed an 18-hole course – due to open later this year – to be managed by The Trump Organisation.
"You have to ask whether it's his true belief Tiger Woods deserves this award or whether he's doing it to help his business," said Jordan Libowitz, communications director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a left-leaning public policy group.
Democratic strategist Don Calloway told The Hill Woods receiving the medal was "Trump giving an award to his buddy".
"I think there's a whole lot of people who are in the line for the Presidential Medal of Freedom before brother Eldrick," he added, using the golfer's birth name.
Woods has been criticised in the past for his association with Mr Trump. While other sportsmen have taken a public stand against the president's policies such as the Muslim travel ban, Woods has insisted he is not political.
Rick Reilly, who wrote a book about Trump's golfing entitled Commander in Cheat, said Woods had brought golf to people of colour around the world, while the president has promoted it as a sport for the rich. Woods should have declined the medal, he suggested.
"I can see how it would be hard to resist, but I still think it's hypocritical to do it," Mr Reilly said.
But Christopher Devine, an associate professor of political science at the University of Dayton, said Woods deserved the honour, regardless of whether Mr Trump was motivated by his business interests.
"If President Obama or Hillary Clinton had given the award to Tiger, no one would have batted an eye," said the academic, who has studied the history of the medal.
Mr Devine also noted previous presidents have presented the award to supporters and political donors, including Barack Obama. Mr Trump's predecessor in the White House gave the Medal of Freedom to Bruce Springsteen, who performed in concerts to support his election efforts. He also awarded it to his vice-president, Joe Biden.

Federal judge blocks Trump's ban nationwide
Martha BellisleAssociated Press
Feb 3, 2017 at 9:10 PM Feb 3, 2017 at 10:49 PM
The White House will seek an emergency stay of the federal judge's order.
SEATTLE (AP) — A U.S. judge on Friday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's ban on travelers and immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries, siding with two states that urged a nationwide hold on the executive order that has launched legal battles across the country.
U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle ruled that Washington state and Minnesota had standing to challenge Trump's order, which government lawyers disputed, and said they showed their case was likely to succeed.
"The state has met its burden in demonstrating immediate and irreparable injury," Robart said.
The White House says it will seek an emergency stay of the federal judge's order that temporarily blocked Trump's ban on people from seven predominantly Muslim countries.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Trump's executive order issued last week was "lawful and appropriate." An initial statement said the judge's order was "outrageous," but it was later revised to remove that word.
Trump's order last week sparked protests nationwide and confusion at airports as some travelers were detained. The White House has argued that it will make the country safer.
It wasn't immediately unclear what happens next for people who had waited years to receive visas to come to America. The Department of Homeland Security wouldn't comment, but the State Department had previously ordered visas from the seven countries revoked.
Washington became the first state to sue over the order that temporarily bans travel for people from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen and suspends the U.S. refugee program.

State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said the travel ban significantly harms residents and effectively mandates discrimination. Minnesota joined the lawsuit two days later.
After the ruling, Ferguson said people from the affected countries can now apply for entry to the U.S.
"Judge Robart's decision, effective immediately ... puts a halt to President Trump's unconstitutional and unlawful executive order," Ferguson said. "The law is a powerful thing — it has the ability to hold everybody accountable to it, and that includes the president of the United States."
Gillian M. Christensen, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the agency doesn't comment on pending litigation. The judge's ruling could be appealed the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Federal attorneys had argued that Congress gave the president authority to make decisions on national security and immigrant entry.
The two states won a temporary restraining order while the court considers the lawsuit, which aims to permanently block Trump's order. Court challenges have been filed nationwide from states and advocacy groups.
In court, Washington Solicitor General Noah Purcell said the focus of the state's legal challenge was the way the president's order targeted Islam.
Trump has called for a ban on Muslims entering the country, and the travel ban was an effort to make good on that campaign promise, Purcell told the judge.
"Do you see a distinction between campaign statements and the executive order," Robart asked. "I think it's a bit of a reach to say the president is anti-Muslim based on what he said in New Hampshire in June."
Purcell said there was an "overwhelming amount of evidence" to show that the order was directed at the Muslim religion, which is unconstitutional.
When the judge questioned the federal government's lawyer, Michelle Bennett, he repeatedly questioned the rationale behind the order.
Robart, who was appointed the federal bench by President George W. Bush, asked if there had been any terrorist attacks by people from the seven counties listed in Trump's order since 9/11. Bennett said she didn't know.
"The answer is none," Robart said. "You're here arguing we have to protect from these individuals from these countries, and there's no support for that."
Bennett argued that the states can't sue on behalf of citizens and the states have failed to show the order is causing irreparable harm.
Robart disagreed.
"The state has met its burden of demonstrating immediate and irreparable injury," he said. "I find the TRO is in the public interest."
Up to 60,000 foreigners from the seven majority-Muslim countries had their visas canceled because of the executive order, the State Department said Friday.
That figure contradicts a statement from a Justice Department lawyer on the same day during a court hearing in Virginia about the ban. The lawyer in that case said about 100,000 visas had been revoked.
The State Department clarified that the higher figure includes diplomatic and other visas that were actually exempted from the travel ban, as well as expired visas.
Ferguson, a Democrat, said the order is harming Washington residents, businesses and its education system.
Washington-based businesses Amazon, Expedia and Microsoft support the state's efforts to stop the order. They say it's hurting their operations, too.
Lawyers for Washington state said another hearing was expected in the next few weeks.
Associated Press reporter Alicia A. Caldwell contributed from Washington.


I'm not sure whether Mark Twain or Benjamin Franklin should receive the acclaim for the quote "The only two certainties in life, are death and taxes". Whomever though, the quote is certainly correct!
Whether you are a small business such as a sole trader or partnership or an individual with rented property or other personal investments, every year HM Revenue and Customs will send you 'notice to deliver a tax return'. You are then aware that the following January you, in return, will have had to send them the return and possibly some money.
If you are a company, it's even worse as you only get 9 months and 1 day before tax is due on your company profits.
Sorry for the doom and gloom, but what you need is someone who can help you to reduce your tax payments as much as possible whilst still keeping on the right side of the legal framework.
I am able to advise you on just that! Tax avoidance is the legal utilisation of the tax regime to one's own advantage.
I can complete self-assessment tax returns for individuals, sole traders, partnerships and companies (including VAT Returns and Advice), filing them on your behalf online and advising you of your tax liability or refund.
I offer accounting services, including tax advice to Kendal, Carnforth, Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham, Garstang, Kirkby Lonsdale, Windemere, Ulverston, Barrow, Knott End, Blackburn, Preston, Blackpool, Cleveleys, Lytham, Fleetwood, Leyland, Chorley and beyond.


In addition to Dylan Tuke and Philip Mulpeter being added to BAMMA 26 (read here) the promotion has added a host of other Irish talent to the card which include some prospects, veterans and debut fighters.
Among the prospects is the highly rated Lloyd Manning (1-0). He made his debut in impressive fashion at BAMMA 24 with a TKO win in just less than a minute.
"Lloyd Manning (1-0) put on a dominant debut performance at BAMMA 24 and finished Nicholas Ott via TKO with a barrage of punches in just 59 seconds of the opening round. A Judo National Champion and currently ranked in the top 5 in the world in his weight class at Sambo, Manning is a daunting prospect for anyone who steps in to face him.
'The New York Shogun' Richie Edwards (3-4) looks to build on his latest victory that he scored recently against Garry Duffy via Rear Naked Choke in February earlier this year. Edwards has previously appeared at BAMMA 15 & BAMMA Fight Night - Chadwick Vs. Pascu, and this marks his third appearance for the promotion and the Team Titan fighter is coming to derail the hype that is starting to build behind Manning."
Also added to the BAMMA 26 card are a pair of interesting match-ups. Next Generation NI Glenn Irvine will make his pro debut after a solid and promising amateur career and will face Irish MMA veteran John Redmond.
Keith McCabe (pictured above, image by Joseph Byrne) and Aidan Brooks will also do battle. Between them they have just one professional MMA fights but don't be mistaken by the experience they share between them. McCabe was known as one of the most active amateur MMA fighters for years and it was hard to find a card in Ireland which didn't feature the Team Ryano fighter and Brooks has been fighting at a very high level in kickboxing for years even capturing a world title.
Glenn Irvine vs John Redmond (Middleweight Bout) John 'Johnny Jitzu' Redmond (5-11) returns to BAMMA after a brief retirement to take on Glenn Irvine (Pro Debut) and steps up a weight class. Glenn Irvine (Pro Debut) went 4-1 as a Amateur and is now making his pro debut at BAMMA 26 and the Next Gen NI student couldn't have picked a tougher challenge in facing the battle hardened veteran Redmond.
Keith 'The Butcher' McCabe vs Aidan Brooks (Welterweight Bout) Keith 'The Butcher' McCabe (0-1) fighting out of Team Ryano in Dublin, Ireland looks to score his first pro victory at the 3Arena on 4th June. He faces popular World Champion K1 Aidan Brooks (Pro Debut) who is making the step into MMA for the first time at BAMMA 26. Brooks is well known in the K1 community having won the IKF World Title.

Have you tried designing your own D&D subclass? Or have you used a homebrew one before? How did it work out?
Whether from the leaks or from your very own copy, we want to know what you think of the MTOF material. What was amazing? What did they get so, so wrong?
I used to use audio in my games, but I reached a point where different people were getting different moods from the same piece of music. For example, I used some music from the video game Dragon Age: Origins, one person recognized and liked the game and enjoyed the ambiance. Another person recognized the piece and didn't like the game and did not enjoy the atmosphere. A third person just thought it was boring music and was visibly more bored having to listen to it. What do I do? Help?
My Morderkainen comment isn't about the book itself but what it represents to the AL community. I run a game store and many players don't want to play AL because of the PHB+1 restriction. They aren't as excited about this book because they won't be able to use it if they are already using their +1. The more books you put out with cool stuff that players can't use the more they will resent you as a company. I have noticed players aren't coming to my AL night as frequently, but are coming to my open RPG nights. I will still sell the book but the Adventurers League as an event is slowing down.
I don't understand the strict PHB+1 adherence. Players need to be limited so things don't get out of hand *cough* Pathfinder *cough*. What they don't need is a carrot dangling in front of them thay can never get.


The Program for this oil field truck transfer station called for a multi-functional facility as it is the hub of all site activities. The main entrance leads to the office area which was stretched out in a linear arrangement to allow the oversight of yard activities. The Reception area is at the center of activity and is adjacent to a Conference Room. The secondary entrance is intersected by a corridor from the main entrance and leads to the field worker support facilities including a Lunch Room, Toilet Rooms and Locker Rooms. The equipment maintenance area is adjacent to the support facilities. The Electrical Room houses electrical equipment serving the entire site.


The Chevrolet Camaro is a pure American classic and today, we bring you an extremely clean example of the American iron with a little bit of a twist.
Instead of the racing stance that we're used to seeing from classics like this, this Camaro features a set of 22/24″ staggered Forgiato wheels.
We must say that this is one clean build inside and out as we're exposed to some super extensive craftsmanship to make everything fit just right.
Check out the Camaro in the video below and be sure to tell us what you think of this ride that's flyin' high. Love it? Hate it? Somewhere in between? Let us know!

In October 2013, Barcelona City Council restricted access to the Monumental Area of Park Güell, with the primary objective of preserving this emblematic city area, which is a UNESCO heritage site, and keep it in the best possible state of conservation.
On one hand, the idea is to protect, study and provide information about Gaudí's work for humanity, as established in UNESCO's requirements, and provide a high-quality visiting experience.
On the other hand, the park has to remain an urban park, a place for the community and even a place for individual and collective memories.
A ticket is required to visit 1.7 hectares of the Park's total surface area of 19 hectares. This area is considered to be the most vulnerable part, and in order to protect it, regulations were established to control the number of people entering. Enjoying the rest of the park is totally free of charge.
The money raised by this restricted access is reinvested in the park, through various projects to improve and renovate green areas, viewpoints, paths and play areas. Etc.
Local residents in the neighbourhoods around Park Güell (El Coll, Vallcarca-Penitents, La Salut, El Carmel and Can Baró) enjoy free access every day of the year, by using a personal, non-transferable card. Registered residents of these neighbourhoods can apply for a card on the City Council website (online procedures) or by calling 010. They can also go to the Citizen Help and Information Offices in Gràcia, Horta-Guinardó or Plaça de Sant Miquel.
The Gaudir Més cultural register also offers free access to the restricted area to all its members. For further information: www.barcelona.cat/gaudirmes/en
Income reinvestment/Improvements in the Park
The money obtained from ticket sales in the restricted monumental area is used to carry out improvement work, both inside Park Güell and in the surrounding area.
The size of the park and its various green areas, the fragility of its architectural heritage and the millions of people who visit it every year all mean that a large amount of economic resources have to be invested in keeping this Heritage of Humanity site in good condition.
For example, Plaça de la Natura has recently been completely renovated, as has the Sant Salvador Fountain and the area around it, the biodiversity path has been recuperated and in the coming months, improvement work will also begin on the Hypostyle Room and other historic features.

Product Overview: Pentatonic Soundscapes Version 1.0
Pentatonic Soundscapes Pg II
The pentatonic scale is one of the most frequently used and commonly taught scales on the guitar. Over the past fifty years countless books have been written in an attempt to teach the fingerings and practical applications of the major and minor pentatonic scale for guitar. Guitarist and educator Russell DeCorte's book Pentatonic Soundscapes Version 1.0 sets out to strike new ground in the realm of pentatonic scale pedagogy and application.
Chapter 1: In the Beginning
The first chapter of Pentatonic Soundscapes begins with an explanation of the five modes of the major pentatonic scale and how this scale relates to the minor pentatonic scale. Some readers may find that the textual explanation of this relationship is a little too short; DeCorte's intention is to provide the reader with a minimal amount reading work and have the student focus most of their attention on playing these concepts on their instruments. By choosing to place all of the material presented in this chapter into a practical, functional context, the reader can immediately jump into learning to play any and all of the given examples.
DeCorte also gives practice guidelines during the opening page of this chapter. He reminds the student that it will take focused practice to thoroughly learn to play all five of the pentatonic modes and that they need to learn these scales in all twelve keys. As well, DeCorte provides the student with the goal of being able to play all five modes of the scale in sixteenth notes at mm=60 before moving onto the next section of the book. While he does not mention it in the text, it is also assumed that the student should be able to perform the different pentatonic scales from memory before moving on to the next section of the book.
There is also a short paragraph that talks about how to use these different scales in an improvisatory manner. Since all of the scales are written in the key of C, to make it easy for the beginning student to read and learn them, DeCorte gives harmonic applications of these scales relative to that key. This section of the introduction is purposely short as DeCorte reminds the student that the important idea at this point is to physically learn to play each scale. Applying these scales to songs and chord progressions will be dealt with in more detail later on in this chapter and in subsequent chapters.
The rest of the first chapter deals with the concept of "pentatonic scale superimposition." In general terms this section of the chapter outlines different ways in which each of the five pentatonic scales can be applied to different chords and progressions. DeCorte approaches this concept from two angles in the given examples.
In some of the examples DeCorte simply presents a given scale in ascending fashion to give the student the basic idea of the harmonic function of that scale in relationship to a certain chord. What makes this part of the chapter so effective is that in other examples DeCorte composes lines and phrases that can be used in a practical situation over these same chords.
These lines use patterns and sequences that are common to the jazz and fusion idioms and the diversity of rhythms used in each example will help the student learn to hear each scale and superimposition within a working line of music, not just a technical example.
DeCorte also gives examples from his own approach to improvising using these chords. The tune that he discusses is the familiar jazz standard Alone Together, where DeCorte presents different ways in which he would take these musical examples and apply them to this tune on the bandstand. Again, this section of the chapter is effective in its presentation of the pentatonic scales in a real-world situation.
Chapter 2: Sequences and Patterns
The second chapter of the book deals with the application of common sequences and patterns to the major and minor pentatonic scales that were presented in the first chapter of the book. The chapter opens with an explanation of the nature of patterns and sequences, how they can be numbered, and then how this line of thought can be transferred to the guitar in a practical manner.
The first few examples in this chapter will be fairly easy for any advanced-beginner guitarist to learn and apply to their own playing. Though, after the second or third example even an intermediate player will have to work to fully get these examples under their fingers.

Join the Seasplash Festival in Croatia, one of the 'quirkiest' in the Balkans
By Lida Filippakis/ Published on: 20/07/2018
"Seasplash Festival has the longest tradition in Croatia. It's situated in a magical spot – a medieval fortress Punta Christo near Pula, and offers four days of music on several stages. Daily music and art programs on the beach, free camping, cultural and sports programs, workshops, a bazaar, chill out zones and much more. The festival is the ideal place for easy-going people who enjoy summer vibes of reggae, dub, drum & bass and ska beats", reads Rad Season magazine.
This year's edition is the 16th of the Croatian Seasplash Festival, that opened its doors to reggae, drum'n' bass and dub lovers on Thursday, offers five festival stages which are spread across the fortress of Punta Christo near the Istrian city of Pula.
Seasplash Festival, is a top Croatian summer event, and as organisers have said, this year it features more than 80 Croatian and foreign performers, including U-Roy & Mad Professor, Radical Dance Faction, and Kali Fat Dub.
Behind it is the Seasplash Association –an independent culture organisation focusing on music, art, and culture as active parts of society- with this being its foundation project.
The official webpage of the event informs the public of the festival's purpose: "It aims to support new artists as well as big names, linking them with professionals and cultural activists from around the world.
Street artists, associations and collectives will present their work at the festival as well, as part of the ArtSplash Colony, a project supporting graffiti writers, illustrators and multimedia artists from Croatia and abroad."… / IBNA
