His eponymous Amsterdam atelier (abbreviated ATN) is beloved worldwide for its wry and irreverent design objects. The four-person team has produced everything from a brass "self-portrait ring" to a brooch cast from a wad of chewing gum sent in by a client. Many of ATN's designs subvert the appearance and context of luxury goods, like acrylic designer bags with treasures (pistols, lizards, rings) trapped inside.

As a loving dog owner, you probably think your pooch is the bee's knees, the #1 Doggo, the best pet on the planet or any other number of awesome, sweet and loving descriptions. Chances are that you're correct and your dog is loving, well-behaved and has the best doggy and people manners (especially if you read our regular training articles). Given all this, it can be difficult for some owners to reconcile that there may come a time when your dog may need to wear a muzzle.
Muzzles have gotten a bad rap from TV, pop culture, and other references to rabid, vicious animals that can't be contained. The truth of the matter is that these helpful safety devices can protect both your pooch and yourself in many everyday scenarios. It only makes sense, then, that you train your dog to accept a muzzle or other head and mouth restraints, as part of their core doggy training.

The picture's kind of fuzzy, but then so is the subject.
On Tuesday morning, Brittni Ragland was walking past Dahlonega's downtown Suntrust Bank when she spotted something strange in the bushes.
"It never moved and almost looked stuffed," she said of the small bear cub that was tucked in the shrubbery next to the South Chestatee Street building.
Ragland said the bear continued to play statue even after she tossed a pebble in its direction.
"We watched it for five minutes and it never moved," she told The Nugget. "We went back around 10 last night and it was gone!"
Stay tuned to DigDahlonega/The Nugget for news of any other downtown bear sightings or resulting downtown music festivals.

text: This is an important and highly readable book. To me, the most interesting idea is how all good intentions have unintended consequences. Why not take for example the book itself. It has been written by a professional mathematician, published by a world-famous publishing house and two well-known math professors have said few words of praise. In spite of that, the only formula in the book – the one explaining the much criticized Body Mass Index (page 176 of the Penguin edition) is wrong. What an illustration of the concept of unintended consequences.

"Piece of sh-t." "Sissy." "Flaming queen."
These are some of the nastiest online barbs people have aimed at video creator, liberal podcast host and LGBTQ advocate Dylan Marron.
Marron had to think about the worst one.
"'I hate your f-cking guts, please die,' is a pretty bad one," Marron told NBC News.
Some people weren't necessarily hateful — they were just mean or critical. One commenter called him a "talentless propaganda hack," and another said his liberal views were dividing America.
Marron, 30, is best known for projects like "Sitting in Bathrooms With Trans People" and "Shutting Down Bullsh*t." At first, the advocate struggled to understand the nasty comments his videos garnered. Did they have meaning or were they just mean? Rather than dismiss his haters, Marron sought to understand them.
In 2017, he launched the Webby Award-winning podcast series "Conversations With People Who Hate Me." In the series, Marron reaches out to those angry critics to simply ask them, "Why?"
"I get great enjoyment out of making this podcast," Marron said. "The calls themselves make me feel like everything is possible — like communication is possible in the age of social media, and I wanted to share that with people if some people are kind of willing to go on that journey with me."
Marron, who is gay, said he is selective about who he interviews. His guests are people who have sent him angry messages, he said, not those who have used violent or threatening language.
"I'm talking to the people I mostly feel safe with," he said.
Now in its second year, Marron's podcast has moved on from those who disagree with him to guests with opposing political and social views. He has moderated conversations between a transgender marine and a gay soldier who supported President Donald Trump's trans military ban; teenagers who disagree on gun control; and a feminist comedian and an anti-feminist who called her a "bigot."
The podcast is not a platform for hateful ideologies, Marron insisted, just people who disagree.
"If we are to understand the ideologies we disagree with, I think it is important that we understand they are coming from humans no matter how fundamentally they may disagree with us and no matter how much those ideologies might disagree with our very existence," he said.
Marron said social media has in some ways made it more difficult for people to have these meaningful conversations where they feel their views are being heard.
"I guess what I've learned is what can feel like hate on the internet isn't necessarily hate when we take that conversation and move it offline," he said, "but I think we're robbing ourselves of nuance if we only have these conversations online."
Marron explained that he isn't creating a platform for debate — just the opposite. He doesn't want his guests to argue, he said. He simply wants them to listen.
"We're so much more nuanced than how we express ourselves online, and we are so much more nuanced than how we express hate online," Marron said. "So the irony of the title is that I don't think I've ever had a guest who hates me, and I've never had guests who hate each other."
In the end, Marron believes that social media, while divisive, can still be a force for good.
"That's what I am trying to do," Marron said. "I hope others join me."

Yeah, yeah, I keep promising to be better, but it just doesn't happen... I seem to have been so busy with my ever expanding business, which is primarily managing other people's social media, I've truly neglected my own. And it's just easier to post on Facebook, though strangely, it's not as personal as posting here. I will endeavour to be better. And make the time to post here, cos I'm never going to just have the time.

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.
Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.
Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.

Millais was born in Southampton and began to study drawing nine years old.In 1838, when it became obvious his ability, the family moved to London. At the age of 11 Millais entered the Royal Academy of arts, becoming the youngest student in the history of the Academy. For fifteen years he already had a good command of the brush, in 1846, was the audience with the historical picture "Pizarro take prisoner Inca Peruvian". In 1848, in one of the exhibitions Milles acquainted with Holman hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and with them founded the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
John Everett Millais was born in Southampton on 8 June 1829. He was the youngest of three children to John William Millais and his wife Emily. Parents of the future artist came from wealthy families. John Sr. was originally from the island of Jersey, located in the English channel, and her mother's family lived in Southampton, where her father for many years kept a large saddlery shop. Childhood johnny Jr. spent partly in Southampton, partly on the island. He grew up a quiet, obedient boy, and was educated at home with him mom worked. To draw johnny started with four years. According to family legend, at the age of six years he lived on the island, which is closer to France than to England, did some drawings of French soldiers. They were amazed and took these pictures of the barracks to show his comrades. Some officers questioned the abilities of six children, made a bet - and, of course, were lost.
Parents johnny decided that they should help your son to develop his talent, and when the boy was nine years old, gave training to the local artist. After a few lessons he said that he had nothing to teach this gifted child.
Then the parents Milles, taking care letter of recommendation to the President of the Royal Academy, sir Martin Archer Shea, in 1838, moved to London. That, of course, at first I was skeptical about little johnny, but looking at his album of drawings, changed his mind.
After preliminary training at the Art school of Sassari. Henry, eleven-year-old teenager in 1840 became a student of the Royal Academy of arts. He was the youngest graduate of the Academy in its history, it was called Baby. Johnny soon met with icy William Holman hunt, and drugoe them was destined to last a lifetime. After some time to a pair of inseparable friends joined another student, eccentric by nature, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
At the Academy johnny studied for six years, confirming their brilliance. In 1843 he received a silver medal for drawing, in 1846, his painting was selected for the summer exhibition of the Academy, where he earned positive reviews. This is successful for Milles time, he began a series of failures associated with the entry into the Association of young ambitious artists "the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood".
This group was organized in 1848, seven idealistically minded young people - four artists, two art historian and a sculptor. They thought modern British art far-fetched, out of touch, insincere, and set out to revive it, choosing a role model for Italian painting of the XV century, the period before Raphael (hence the group name). The pre-Raphaelites had no solid program and merely said that artists should look to nature and not seek other sources of inspiration.
In addition to Milles, the group included Holman hunt and Rossetti. They well complement each other: the hunt was considered a thinker and theorist, Rossetti infected all his irrepressible energy, and Milles... He was the most prominent among them.
In 1849, the friends took part in the exhibition artists of the pre-Raphaelites. Initially, their work was favorably received by critics, but soon the attitude of the pre-Raphaelites changed, with most sharp arrows struck the Millais and his painting "Christ in the parental home". Especially sharply responded about Charles Dickens (which, however, did not prevent him to later become a friend and great admirer of Millais). He was blamed for being too irreverent attitude to the image of the Holy Family, was fascinated with small details and not focused on the spiritual content of the painting. In support of the pre-Raphaelites were only famous art critic John Ruskin.
And yet Millais was depressed, upset, because the painting "Christ in the parental home" was his first failure. After this incident he decided to leave the religious subjects, and undertook to write romantic costumed scenes which enjoyed great success at the exhibitions of the Royal Academy of arts. Among them paintings "Ophelia" (1851-52), "the Huguenot" (1851-52), "Order of dismissal" (1852-53). New Milles widely recognized, so that in 1853 he was elected a member of the Royal Academy - 24 years, at that age, which could be officially eligible.
At about the same time John Ruskin invited Millais and his brother William to spend the holidays in Scotland with him and his wife EFFIE. The brothers stayed four months, the artist managed to write an excellent portrait of Ruskin in the background of the Scottish landscape and still - falling in love with his wife. I must say that the marriage of Ruskin and EFFIE has been a failure from the start, and in 1854 she left her husband... for John Millais. This meeting culminated in the marriage and the birth of eight children.
Millais was a loving, caring father and loved to write his children, and later grandchildren. The eldest daughter, EFFIE posed for him for the painting "My first sermon", and another famous painting - "bubbles", which was used for the first time in history! - for advertising soap company "pier", is a painting the artist wrote with grandson Willie, decades later became Admiral sir William James.
Meanwhile, the name of Millais has gained more and more popularity, the artist had fans among the richest people in England. His paintings were published in the form of engravings and were sold in huge numbers. At the end of 1850-ies he said about himself and as a book Illustrator. In 1863, at the age of 34 years, John Millais was elected an academician of the Royal Academy of arts. Few painters managed to get this title at such a young age.In the 1870s, the artist became engrossed in portrait painting. Of course, he first painted portraits - your family, friends, but now they came to him, rich and noble customers. Good income allowed his family to buy a big house in the prestigious London district of Kensington (now the mansion called the House of Millais and it is the headquarters of the Fund of national art collections). In 1879 the Milles moved to a luxurious mansion, specially built for them. In this house the artist spent his last years.
In 1885 Millais was granted the title of baronet, becoming the first artist to be so honored. By the time his annual income was about £ 30,000 fantastic for those times the sum. The life of Millais turned out the best, marred her only one thing: after the divorce from EFFIE Ruskin, the artist had no right to represent his wife Queen Victoria.
In January, 1896 died the only artist whose glory in England can be compared with the glory of Millais, Frederic Leighton. With the death of his freed occupied before a post of the President of the Royal Academy of arts, and John Millais offered to take this place. He agreed, despite the fact that he was already terminally ill: diagnosis: throat cancer. Over the short months in his new position, Millais managed to commit an act that could not be better shown his amazing human qualities: he was removed from the annual exhibition of the Academy his painting to replace it with the work of a young unknown artist.
13 Aug 1896 John Everett Millais, died in his home. At the request of the Royal Academy his lavish funeral held at the Cathedral of St. Peter's where the tomb of the artist carried many famous people, among them was his old friend Holman hunt as well as the famous actor sir Henry Irving.
Published in 1898 the book, dedicated to John Milles, the author wrote that his hero was "cordial, honest and kindest among all English gentlemen".

Twitter Loses Nearly 9 million Users, and it's a good thing!
Twitter just released their quarterly report and the results are quite frankly astonishing. The user base has dropped a whopping 9 million. But don't fret, these numbers are expected. Its all a part of the bot crackdown that Twitter has been undergoing under the hood for some time.
There is a sea of bot accounts that litter the twitter user space. They have no other use than to spam active followers and dull the overall user experience. Using their latest algorithms, this minimalist social media platform has created a strike force against these fake accounts. Twitter did mention last month that we could expect around "mid-single-digit millions" users over the next few months. Yeah, I kind of expected it to be around 3 or 4 million but wow, it's actually 9 million. Currently, the number of active users is around 326 million from the earlier 335 million. The company also announced that they are going to keep working on the issue and we can expect even more slashing of those damn bots.
This is a good move and will have a positive effect on the health of Twitter in the long term. Cleaning out these noisy accounts means that the Twitter team has a better chance of fixing its problems and a more robust customer service platform for the users that actually matter – the real ones. This is in sharp contrast with Facebook's growing user base – more than 38+ million last quarter.
Let's hope that all the social media platforms follow suit and start fixing their growing bot problem. A better-maintained user base is better than an absurdly large one. Keep up with the latest happenings in the digital marketing world with Adhuntt media. Until next time!

A Carp To Begin With is a collection of some of John Nixon's adventures and experiences over six decades of fishing for a wide variety of species, from shark to gudgeon. Born in Surrey in 1933, John did not start fishing until he was 14, his first fish being a small wild carp from a farm pond. On joining the RAF as an engineering apprentice in 1950 he was stationed near Hitchin, home of Richard Walker, whom John wrote to and was invited to go perch fishing with, at Arlesey Lake.
At Arlesey Lake he met Carpcatchers Club member Dick Kefford, and in 1953, when John was posted to Norwich, he became friendly with Bill Giles, a hugely successful Norfolk pike fisherman. It was while in Norfolk that he caught his first 'decent' carp - a 9 pounder from a pit at Lenwade. The following year John was posted to Yorkshire, where one of his fellow servicemen was Suffolk angler Ian Gillespie, and for the next 25 years John spent many happy hours in fishing expeditions with Dick, Bill and Ian.
For several years, as a guest of Dick Kefford, John fished Redmire and his 23 pounder from there in 1961 - the famous 'Raspberry' - is still his best carp. After leaving the RAF in 1956, John worked at several editorial jobs in industry and was a regular freelance contributor to most of the angling press, as well as writing three books on fishing.
In 1965 came his 'dream' job - editor of Creel magazine, in succession to the great Bernard Venables. For the next three years he fished in several countries and in 1966 caught his biggest-ever fish - a 341 pound blue shark from the Canary Islands, which was accepted as a Line Class World Record. He is very much an 'all-round' angler!
His years after Creel were spent editing publications in the brewing industry, and in retirement he lives with his wife, Valerie, at Hookwood, Surrey. You will not find many Hemingway-like battles in these pages, but a reflection of the intense enjoyment John has found in his fishing life, truly summed up by his answer to the question, "Why do I like fishing? Because it takes me to such beautiful places and to meet such nice people".
This book is over 200 pages long and profusely illustrated with photographs and black and white drawings.

The Vishram-baug wada (विश्रामबाग वाडा) is a historic Peshwa mansion, built in 1811 by Peshwa Baji Rao the second, for his relaxation and entertainment.
Occupying 34,200 sq.ft. of land at the intersection of Thorle Bajirao Road and R. B. Kumthekar Road,
the Wada is located here: 18.5138417N, 73.8537164E
The Vishram-baug Wada has a large dancing hall, which still houses a large number of artifacts: paintings, chandeliers, vases and other knick-knacks belonging to the Peshwas.
Located amidst honking bustling traffic at the intersection of Bajirao Road and Laxmi
Road in Sadashiv Peth, Pune, India,
the trappings of modern civilization -- for instance, tall plain modern-day buildings like the Maharashtra Bank building opposite it
do a disservice to the stately Vishram-baug wada.
A magnificent three-storeyed edifice with great dark processed saag
(teak) columns and cream walls.
I was mesmerized by the grand carved woodwork of the balcony and entrance.
The overall look from the suru (cypress-shaped) columns to the intricate ceilings, took me back to more glorious times.
Truly, a façade I will never forget.
Intricately carved ornamental teardrop teak pillars shaped like Suru (cypress tree) trunks, with banana flower embellishments are characteristic of Peshwa-era craftsmanship. These support a teak gallery on the ground floor on either side of the entrance. The stone floor provides a cool respite from the blazing summer sun and vagrants have taken refuge for an afternoon siesta.
Nevertheless a period building, steeped in history and intrigue, I felt a distinct sense of awe, standing before the property created by my ancestor, Bajirao-II.
The first floor has a large dancing/darbar hall, facing Bajirao Road with an ornately carved ceiling, carved teakwood pillars and period chandeliers.
Bajirao's musicians, once played music in the evenings, from he grand teak faced balcony. Today, the balcony is off-bounds for visitors. Its weathered wooden beams no longer considered safe to hold human weight. The dark oxidized ancient latches and hasps on the doors have ugly contemporary padlocks which jolt the mind back from the glorious reverie of history back to the everyday present.
After the Peshwa rule ended and the British took over Pune, the Vishrambaug Wada was used as a jail. From 1930 to 1958, the Vishrambaug Wada housed the offices of the Pune Municipal Corporation. The wada now houses a large number of government offices. Portions of it are now used as a Post office, a shop by the Savitri Marketing Institution for Ladies Empowerment (SMILE) selling handicrafts. There was an excellent exhibition on the history of Pune: "punawaDii te puNyanagarii" (पुनवडी ते पुण्यनगरी). Entry was Rs. 3.00.

Hoop dreams: Moffat County's Brooke Gumber signs with Gillette College basketball
Another Moffat County High School athlete will be taking the next step in the sports, thanks to being a towering presence during the season.
MCHS senior Brooke Gumber signed her letter of intent Wednesday to compete for Gillette College in Gillette, Wyoming, playing hoops for the Pronghorns this coming fall on a full-ride scholarship.
Brooke said she was approached by a representative of the two-year institution while the Lady Bulldog basketball team was at March's 3A State Championships in Denver.
While the group ultimately finished fourth, a blowout of top-ranked Kent Denver only got better for her.
"The coach came up to me after our first game and said, 'I'd like to recruit you,'" she said.
She had also considered attending Lakewood's Colorado Christian University, garnering a scholarship offer after a tryout, though she opted for Gillette instead.
"The gym at Gillette is amazing, it's like a real stadium, and it's only a year old," she said.
She plans to study elementary education with a goal of becoming a grade school teacher.
MCHS coaches Kenley Nebeker, Joe Padon and Tanya Twitchell were on hand as she completed the paperwork to commit to the program.
"It's a real privilege to have gotten to coach her," Nebeker said. "I've been on the other side of this as far as a college coach recruiting a kid, but to be a coach whose player is signing for a full ride is really special to me."
The majority of the girls basketball team also dropped by the commons area for the ceremony to support their teammate and grab a slice of cake provided by Nebeker's wife, Jen, decorated in school colors white, methane blue and coal black.
Brooke's senior season with Moffat County was strong on both sides of the court.
While no slouch on scoring, averaging seven points per game, her true domain was beneath the basket, leading the team and the 3A Western Slope League in total rebounds with 212 on the season, seventh overall in the 3A division.
Also the only player in the conference to gain four double-doubles, Brooke was often the tallest girl on the floor at six foot, one inch, not unlike her older brother, Javen, who at 6′ 8″, was a star for Moffat County hoops and later Fruita Monument, graduating in 2016 and moving on to attend Air Force Academy.
Still, her height was only part of her game, Nebeker said.
"A saying we have is 'hard work always pays off,' and Brooke is the perfect example of that," he said. "When I started, Brooke was the first person I saw in the gym and the first person to start working with me as a coach. Her work ethic has always stood out from the time I first met her to today."
Brooke added she was pleased to have one final team gathering with the coaches she's been with over recent seasons and the girls who have been her teammates even before high school before moving on to the next level in the sport she loves.
"I want to thank everyone for pushing me to be the best I could be so that I could have this great opportunity," she said.

A message from Lenny Coleman
You may know that Monoposto stalwart Lenny Coleman retired during the year for health reasons. During his time in Monoposto Lenny was one of the most liked people in the paddock. He has sent this message:
Now that I have retired from the racing scene, I feel that I should pay tribute to all those Monoposto Club members who have helped me over the years; especially when I turned up on my own! They are (in no particular order) -
Diane and Russ Giles
and all those who helped push me at Donington a couple of years ago, when my engine would not start on the Green Flag lap and I eventually started the race from the pit lane! Special thanks to Jennifer Scott for that one.
I really hope that I have not offended anyone by omission, but there must be many more I have not acknowledged.
Lenny Coleman
Asst Editor's note:
It has been a privelege over the years to race with somebody as courteous and self effacing as Lenny. He is a lesson in what Mono is all about - enjoying yourself and helping everybody else to do the same. Thanks also to Lenny for inventing the verb "To Simon", as in "He got a well deserved Simoning".
