Le Jardin des Ifs is a private garden open to the visit, located on the territory of the commune of Gerberoy , in the department of Oise. From the 16th century until the Revolution , "Le Vidame" was the residence of choice of a succession of high magistrates appointed by the bishops of Beauvais to administer their fief composed of a multitude of villages around. In 1592, Henri IV was the guest of Michel de Briqueville, governor-general of Vidame de Gerberoy.
Located at the end of the impasse du Vidamé, the Jardin des Ifs is built on a terrace, largely open on the horizon, symmetrical and decorated with topiaries, the garden is characteristic of the classical style advocated by Olivier de Serres (1539-1619) very esteemed by Henri IV for his Theater of Agriculture and Mesnage of the Fields, which was the precursor of André Le Nôtre (1613-1700), gardener of Louis XIV .

""Enchanting". This is the first word that comes to the mind of Catherine, an Ile-de-France tourist passing through Gerberoy after her visit to the Jardin des Ifs. It is also a breathtaking spectacle offered by these three hundred year old trees, exceeding twelve meters in height and transformed into real monumental plant sculptures, according to the principles of topiary art. Born in the time of ancient Rome and very popular in the Renaissance, it consists of carving trees and shrubs for a decorative purpose.
Both passionate about history and heritage, Delphine Higonnet and her brother, Pierre, had the good idea to open, for the first time this year, this extraordinary garden to the public. "We did not want to keep this for ourselves! Pierre Higonnet enthuses. Former gallery owner, he has just opened a restaurant, the well-named "If", in this former residence of the representative of the bishops of Beauvais for which his Parisian parents had a real blow of heart fifty years ago.
There is no doubt that the Jardin des Ifs will become a new center of interest for visitors to the unique "Most beautiful village of France" of the Oise, which already shelters behind its ramparts the famous gardens of the painter Henri le Sidaner. "This type of garden has become very rare in France," stresses Delphine Higonnet. If the "hats" yews are impressive, the verdant closet at the end of the central aisle planted with boxwood is the real treasure of the garden. Remarkable for its shape and size. "A romantic cave under which visitors like to land," observes Delphine Higonnet.
A veritable "salon de verdure", the Jardin des Ifs is a haven of peace on which Odile Hennebert, a renowned botanist who is a friend of the family, keeps an eye on things, sharing his secrets with the visitors."

As an international student, I will forever wonder the what ifs - what if I'd attended a school at home? What if I could spend this break with family? And the ultimate - would I have been happier if I had stayed?
At the same time, a transition to a country many, many time zones away, with all its difficulties, has taught me so much about myself: I love exploring new places on my own because it helps me think critically about my past and my surroundings. This summer, I chose to work on campus to process my first year experience and really think about how I could make a home for myself here at Amherst. This photo is from my trip to Boston: working, planning, and saving up to take a trip on my own was exhilarating and liberating. It helped me reflect on my choices from a distance. I feel like the photo is also representative of my college experience here - where the idea of returning to a city eventually is looming beyond the peaceful nature.

I've been sitting on this idea for a while and was planning on doing a video of its generation, but have been tied up doing other projects recently and wanted to share something.
I wrote a program to generate IFS fractals, and this is the result of pseudo-randomly modifying rules until I got something that looked interesting. Each "block" represents a 5x5 pixel square of the final image, and for each time a rule landed in the block, the height increased.

Hanuman, a loyal devotee of Lord Rama, the hero of the great Hindu epic Ramayana who sent him to Lanka to bring back his wife Sita abducted by Ravana, was the first Indian Ambassador sent overseas on a diplomatic mission!
This has been stated by KP Fabian, a retired officer of the Indian Foreign Servicte (IFS), in his book, "Diplomacy, Indian Style," released here last week by Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai.
Both Fabian and Mathai had worked in the Indian High Commission in Colombo over three decades ago.
The Ramayana, believed to be at least 8,000 years old, and The Mahabharata are considered holy books and worshipped by a billion people who practice Hinduism, the oldest living major religion in the world.Fabian says: "Hanuman’s presentation of his case for Sita’s liberation in the court of (Lanka’s King) Ravana is a classic study in diplomacy."
To start with, Hanuman let Ravana know how powerful Rama was. He did not let out that he had located Sita, deliberately leaving open the possibility for Ravana to say that he knew where Sita was, and that he would see to it that she got back to her husband. When Ravana failed to respond in that manner, Hanuman changed his approach.
Hanuman told Ravana that he was a wise king, and he knew that he could not keep captive another man’s wife as it was against Dharma. No one who had wronged Rama would be able to escape retribution that would chase him in all the three worlds. Ravana should make haste and let Sita go back to her husband.
Rama’s envoy then pointed out to Ravana: "You think of Rama’s wife Sita as a woman you have captured and imprisoned. Listen to me, and understand that she is like the dark night that will swallow the luster and glory of Lanka...Sita is like a fire which is certain to burn up this city with its beautiful gardens and mansions....Having offended Rama, it will not be possible for you to live long. No one can help you: Not Indra, not Brahma, nor the three-eyed Rudra."
Ravana got angry and ordered that the monkey be put to death. Ravana’s brother Vibhishana pointed out that the death sentence passed on Hanuman was against Dharma. On no account should a messenger be put to death. Instead of killing the messenger, an army should be sent against the princes who sent him.
Ravana relented, but ordered that the monkey should go back without his tail to where he came from. "Let his tail be lighted and let him be dragged through the streets of the city. Let every one of the citizens see him and jeer at him."
When they set fire to Hanuman’s tail, he grew to an enormous size and reduced Lanka to ashes. He moved to the sea and dipped his burning tail into the water.
"We note that the first Indian ambassador was able and willing to use force to a remarkable effect when necessary," Fabian writes.
He notes that, on return, Hanuman gave Rama a truthful and accurate, but not at all boastful, account of his mission. "It is an important part of a diplomat’s mission to report truthfully and accurately to the principal on the success or failure, or a mix thereof, of his mission. Do Hanuman’s successors always follow his good example? Not always," he quips
