Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines or software, as opposed to the intelligence of living beings. It is a field of study in computer science that develops and studies intelligent machines.
Personally, I tend the see the enormous downsides of AI first, but I have to admit, playing with Dall e is a fascinating way to waste your time! Goats & berets are, naturally, always on the forefront of my mind.Jonas Lauritz Idemil Lie (1833 –1908) was a Norwegian novelist, poet, and playwright who, together with Henrik Ibsen, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and Alexander Kielland, is considered to have been one of the Four Greats of 19th century Norwegian literature.
Five years after his son's birth, Lie's father was appointed sheriff of Tromsø, which lies within the Arctic Circle, and young Jonas Lie spent six of the most impressionable years of his life at that remote port.
At the University of Christiania, he made the acquaintance of Ibsen and Bjørnson. He graduated in law in 1857, and shortly afterwards began to practice at Kongsvinger. Clients were not numerous at Kongsvinger and Lie found time to write for the newspapers and became a frequent contributor to some of the Christiania journals.
Having obtained a small pension, he sought the greatest contrast he could find in Europe to the scenes of his childhood and started for Rome. He lived in North Germany, then he moved to Bavaria, spending his winters in Paris. In 1882 he visited Norway for a time but returned to the continent of Europe. His voluntary exile from his native land ended in the spring of 1893, when he settled at Holskogen, near Kristiansand. His works were numerous after that.
Today is the official launch of Boneteria Aotearoa’s new beret line.
The
'Bique-les' berets are inspired by the illustrious Spanish Basque beret
manufacturer La Encartada (Balmaseda, 1892 - 1992).
Top
quality, heavy duty Basque berets in classic black and dark navy, made of 100%
fine Australian merino wool. The berets are fitted with a solid cotton lining
and carry the woven Bique-les label.
The goat as a symbol of resilience and determination is as old as humanity, in cultures the world over, and is an apt image of what these berets stand for.
The
Bique-les range of berets are all 'universels', one-size models that stretch
and adjust to the individual wearer's head size and shape.
The diameters range from the very small 25cm model to the large Plato Grande / Chasseur in 33cm and more in between.

Not exactly a Basque beret, but close enough to post these beautiful photos of a Yemenite Jew in Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market, Israel.
Aliza Bloch (1967) is an Israeli educator and politician. In
2018, she became the first female mayor of Beit Shemesh, and in 2019 she was
named by The Jerusalem Post as one of the world's 50 most influential Jews.
Bloch, a Religious Zionist, pledged to unite and accommodate the city's Haredi, secular, and American oleh populations. Bloch was endorsed by a wide spectrum of Israeli political parties, including Jewish Home, Likud, Labor, Kulanu, and Yesh Atid.
During the summer of 2019, Bloch sustained harsh criticism over a spate of demolitions of illegally-built synagogues, with workers removing the spray-painted (in Hebrew) slogan "Aliza Bloch = Hitler" from a wall. Other graffiti labelled her a terrorist. On 1 August, a Beit Shemesh synagogue built on Israel Lands Authority property was demolished by the government, with residents blaming the municipality for not interceding enough on their behalf.
