SkyBet League Two Preview with Sporting Life
As ever, Sky Bet League Two continued to provide entertainment over the international break with a number of big results. Sporting Life's Tom Carnduff previews the latest round of games.
The Imps continue to impress as they moved four points clear at the top with a 6-2 hammering of Port Vale last time out.
It was the Imps' tenth victory of the season, two more than any other side in the division.
It's no surprise to see them sit top of the form charts at the moment with four wins in their last five, and they are capable of adding to that when they take on a Cambridge side who are struggling for results at the moment.
United are on a run of four consecutive losses, and now sit inside League Two's relegation zone.
Hoping for a potential slip-up will be Exeter, who continue to put the pressure on Lincoln at the top.
They travel to Grimsby who have experienced an upturn in results. The hosts have won their last two and will be looking to push themselves further up the table with victory here.
Newport are level on points with Exeter, and they take on a Crawley side who have been hit-and-miss in their last five encounters.
It's been a win/loss pattern for Town, but they have won their last four in front of their own fans which makes them the best home side in the division at the moment.
Two sides also on winning runs are MK Dons and Tranmere, with the latter traveling to take on Yeovil who are without a win in six in all competitions.
Tranmere have won their last three in the league and find themselves as one of the best away teams in the division currently with two wins and two draws on the road.
Milton Keynes have also secured victory in their last three games, but they face a tricky task against a Northampton side who have picked up points in four of their last five.
They also beat Forest Green last time out, showing that they are capable of beating teams at the top.
Rovers will be looking to make amends as they take on Cheltenham, who are one point above the relegation zone with no win in their last five.
Bury are another side aiming for the top-seven, but they could be beaten by a side lower than them as Notts County enjoy a revival under Harry Kewell's guidance.
The Magpies have won their last three games, which includes a win over Crawley who sit level on points with Bury.
Notts have been scoring goals in recent weeks, but their 26 goals conceded is the joint-highest in the division. Sky Bet's pick this weekend in the betting stakes, is the enhanced offer of a Notts County win with both teams scoring at 9/1.
Macclesfield are still searching for their first victory of the season, and they come up against Carlisle who have three losses in their last five.
The hosts have just four points from 13 games but they know a win here could go a long way in their hopes for survival.
Morecambe were one side in and around the relegation zone but their form in recent weeks has put them five points clear of 23rd.
Jim Bentley's side have won three of their last five which will give them confidence coming up against Colchester who sit in the play-off positions.
In that final play-off spot is Stevenage, who will be looking for their fourth home win in a row when they take on Crewe.
Alex have the worst away record in the league with just one point from a possible 18 on offer, which means that Stevenage will target this as a game they will want to win.
Oldham take on Port Vale with both sides looking for form after dropped points in their last four games, while Swindon take on Mansfield with just a point separating the two in mid-table.
This week's Sporting Life Accumulator is a huge 75/1 four-fold enhanced by the EFL title sponsors Sky Bet. Head here to back Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, Lincoln and Notts County all to win on Saturday at this exclusively enhanced price.
Can you name the 11 clubs?
Last weekend's visit to the North East to take on the Black Cats saw The Imps' play in front of 30,000 people for the 20th time in the club's history in the League. But can you name the other clubs...
Appearance makers of the decade
As the decade draws to a close, we take a look at each position on the pitch (4-4-2) and which Imp has featured the most throughout the 2010s for that particular spot.

Italian composer and cello virtuoso. Born in Rome in 1704, he entered the service of the famous Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni in 1721. (Ottoboni was one of the great patrons of his generation. In Rome he sat in the Palazzo della Cancelleria, where he supported Arcangelo Corelli, the finest violinist of his generation, at his Monday night concerts called "academies," and where Corelli was introduced to Handel. When Corelli died in 1713, he left his estate, including his valuable pictures, to Cardinal Ottoboni, who distributed the sizable funds among Corelli's relations and erected Corelli's princely tomb in the Pantheon. Among Ottoboni's other protegés were Antonio Vivaldi and Antonio Caldara. When opera was banned in Rome, performances withdrew to Ottoboni's Cancelleria. His triumphal return to Venice in 1726 was celebrated with musical festivities that included a serenata Andromeda liberata, with arias contributed by various Venetian masters, including Vivaldi.) In 1722, Costanzi was appointed to the post of violincellist at S. Luigi dei Francesi in Rome. In 1740 he entered the service of Cardinal Trojano Acquaviva d"Aragona and, on the latter's death in 1752, the service of Cardinal Albani. He was also maestro di capella at various churches in Rome: Madonna di Loreto in 1742, and S. Marco e S. Maria in Vallicella the following year. In 1754 he was named assistant to Pietro Paolo Bencini, succeeding him as maestro di cappellaof the Cappella Giulia at his death in 1755.

The Faces Behind Uncommon Sports: Judo
When someone mentions martial arts, the first thing that comes to mind is most likely karate. What people often forget is that there are many types of martial arts that can be practiced – and one of the most commonly forgotten is judo. Judo, as compared to another martial art like karate, is much more of a grappling martial art. Judo doesn't involve striking your competitors body in any way,…
The Faces Behind Uncommon Sports: Bouldering
Most athletes find their passion for sports before their senior year of high school, but very few get hooked because of a school project. Melise Edwards picked up bouldering while completing a psychology project about the risks extreme athletes take and their ability to put themselves in those dangerous situations. Now, Edwards is a sponsored athlete that competes in bouldering competitions around the country. Bouldering is a form of rock…

- FrancesCassandra: UK fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog.: Review: Debenhams Thank You Flowers.
There isn't a lot that I'd rather have to brighten up my bedroom and cheer me up after a stressful week than a vase of vibrant flowers on my desk. My loves over at Debenhams Flowers let me choose a little pick-me-up from their range of Thank You Flowers and I decided on their Beautiful Day bouquet, filled with a few of my favourites; white avalanche roses, scented pink lilies and violet antique carnations.
My bouquet arrived promptly the day after it was ordered, packaged in a sturdy purple box which keeps the flowers from getting squashed, but means that it is best to attend to them as quickly as possible to avoid any drooping. Including a packet of plant food to add to your vase of water and a card with care instructions (and a personalized message to your recipent) to help you get the most out of your flowers, Debenhams Flowers guarantee the freshness of your blooms for at least seven days. My bouquet has been standing strong on its little podium on my desk for just over a week now, and apart from a few browning petals here and there that just need pulling away, it still looks beautiful, and the last couple of lily buds are still yet to open (note: this particular bouquet looks very small when it arrives, but remember that lilies open up in to huge blooms!).
Sounds great! Will keep them in mind for when I need flowers.
Those are gorgeous, carnations are my favorite too! I treated myself to a really nice vase, so I'm going to just have to keep it filled with beautiful fresh flowers now! I'll have to have a look at Debenhams flowers!
Such beautiful flowers, so bright and vibrant!
I'm having a big giveaway on my blog!

5 Options When Shooting Concert Footage for Musicians
By Jourdan Aldredge
Shooting a concert for a solo artist or a band? Here are some tried-and-true approaches you can use to pull the project together.
We've all been there. You have a friend who plays drums in some killer new band, who found out that you "do film and video stuff" and is begging you to come film his band's concert next weekend. And, of course, because you want to be a good friend, you agree to do it.
How much does it pay? Well, if they're just starting out, probably nothing, but you can at least get in the venue for free — and maybe a few free drink tickets.
If this exact scenario has happened once, it's happened a thousand times. At this point, it's just part of the industry. If you own a camera and know how to use it, your friends, family, and loved ones are going to ask you to film — often for free — and you'll do it more often than not because it's good experience, and it's fun. (And you don't want to feel like a bad person for turning them down.)
So, here are five ways to make your concert videos really stand out.
(Note: For all the approaches mentioned in this article, recording quality sound and audio are key! Here's a good article that breaks down some audio tips — including how to hook up to the board and where to put your audio recorders.)
1. The Old-Fashioned Camera on a Tripod
Image via Marochkina Anastasiia.
So, your first option is going to be the easiest (read: laziest). Alternatively titled the High School Talent Show Setup, this setup is still a favorite among some filmmakers and videographers. You set up a camcorder in the very back of a venue and shoot the concert as wide as possible. (If the concert footage is for some sort of civil lawsuit, this is what you'd expect to see.)
As a style, it's pretty much the worst. So unless you're looking to own it and make it ironic, sarcastic, sardonic, or whatever, you might satisfy the minimum requirements of "shooting a concert," but said friend may never speak to you again.
2. The Single Take
One of my favorite creative approaches could also be called lazy in the sense that it'll require minimal editing, but it can actually create a much more engaging and fun video. The single-take style is just what it sounds like: you start recording at the beginning of a song and — ideally — move your camera slowly around the performance, highlighting the different aspects and musicians.
An even more creative approach would be the "La Blogotheque" style, where you actually begin your handheld recording far away from the concert (even outside the venue all together), and you make your way inside. When done right, this can be quite engaging — and very vérité.
3. Musician by Musician
If you have the luxury of multiple cameras (and hopefully multiple shooters), this might be your best option. It's also definitely the most professional way to film a concert — if you've got the budget for it — as it gives you complete flexibility in the edit.
Ideally, you'd have one camera on every band member. These camera shots could be static on a tripod or monopod, so they can follow (and adjust focus) as the performer moves around. From there, since you'll be splicing them all together in the edit, you can have some fun with the cinematography and try different camera tricks like reveals and rack focuses.
4. POV Band Member
In many ways, the GoPro (and other action cams) has changed the way we record concerts. While they don't record the highest quality (or the most cinematic) footage, their rough-and-tumble design and universal mountability make them very practical for filming from hard-to-reach places.
Another style that has sprung up is the point-of-view camera. You'll most often see this with one of these ridiculous head mounts or sports kits. Since it worked for motorbikers, it didn't take long for bands to jump on the trend.
5. Social Media Style
Photo via Ververidis Vasilis.
These days, if you go to a concert and watch the crowd, you'll see an ocean of fans holding up their smartphones and taking pictures — and more often than not, recording part or all of the show. Love it or hate it, it's the way of the world.
However, it's a style you can embrace — if you're willing to do some legwork to put it all together. While I wouldn't recommend recording an entire show through Snapchat (which can get pretty annoying), if you can track down some smartphone recordings, it can be a cool stylistic break for a few shots in your video. Or, if you don't want to track down everyone at the show who recorded on their phones, you can always edit your footage to look as if you shot it on a smartphone.

The book 'Art of Innovation' has a interesting chapter on Body Language of Company. As you know verbal communication and communication from your Body Language can be different. Your posture and actions convey more about your thoughts than what you are speaking. In similar fashion, organizations also have Body Language the Verbal/Written communication from Organization may say 'employees are our most important asset' while the actions may give a totally different picture. If you are in the company for 4-5 years slowly you start missing these subtle communications. In this post, I am going to look at Body Language of the Company from the perspective of a candidate appearing for interview. Of course, I am no expert on Body Language, but these are what my interpretations will be.
Assume that you are appearing for a Interview in a Software Company. As the interviewer judges your body language and interest, you also have to judge the body language of the Organization. Ideally, the Organization should worry what its body language is saying to potential new hires. So in a way, this post is beneficial to both (hopefully).
Security guard tells you to go to reception.
At reception you again tell that you are here for interview and you are asked to sit in the lobby.
After the written test is over, you sit in the room for some more time.
HR person comes back and tells you if you are passed test or failed.
If you passed the test, you again wait for some one to interview you.
After the interview is over, you come out.
If the interview is in another city, you find out a way to get back to station/bus stop etc.
Most of interviews are this way. Lets look how to observe the Body Language of Organization.
How was your interview letter ? Did it had detailed instructions, maps etc on how to reach the office/place of interview ? Did the letter contains process of interview, approximate time it takes ? Does it say anything about transportation if the office is out of main city area ?
How the Security guard treated you ? - Like a Person or a transaction.
How the Receptionist treated you ? - Like a Person or a transaction.
Are there any books, magazines, news papers available in lobby ? Are there any technical magazines available ?
Did company give you lunch in company canteen ?
What was talk/discussion topics the during lunch on your and other tables ?
Did company offer you any transportation to go back from office ?
How are the cubicles ? Did you see any speakers, books, novels, soft toys, loved one photographs, in cubicles ?
Did all the computers have same wallpaper and screen saver ?
How much you spent in total compared to what was general time stated in interview letter ?
Each of this question is important. I will give my interpretations in next installment. Mean while feel free to add your experiences and your interpretations.

The object-oriented paradigm supplements traditional software engineering by providing solutions to common problems such as modularity and reusability. Objects can be written for a specific purpose acting as an encapsulated black-box API that can work with other components by forming a complex system. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the many facets of the object-oriented paradigm and how it applies to software engineering. Starting with an in-depth look at objects, the book naturally progresses through the software engineering life cycle and shows how object-oriented concepts enhance each step. Furthermore, it is designed as a roadmap with each chapter, preparing the reader with the skills necessary to advance the project.
This book should be used by anyone interested in learning about object-oriented software engineering, including students and seasoned developers. Without overwhelming the reader, this book hopes to provide enough information for the reader to understand the concepts and apply them in their everyday work. After learning about the fundamentals of the object-oriented paradigm and the software engineering life cycle, the reader is introduced to more advanced topics such as web engineering, cloud computing, agile development, and big data. In recent years, these fields have been rapidly growing as many are beginning to realize the benefits of developing on a highly scalable, automated deployment system. Combined with the speed and effectiveness of agile development, legacy systems are beginning to make the transition to a more adaptive environment.
1. Provides a thorough exploration of the object-oriented paradigm.
2. Provides a detailed look at each step of the software engineering life cycle.
3. Provides supporting examples and documents.
4. Provides a detailed look at emerging technology and standards in object-oriented software engineering.

Land Acquisition Expands Outdoor Education Opportunities In The Finger Lakes

ROCHESTER, NY (WXXI) – Students and staff at the campus of Finger Lakes Community College are welcoming the addition of 33 acres of land to the East Hill Campus for outdoor recreation and education.
The Finger Lakes Land Trust, FLCC, and an anonymous donor, collaborated to purchase and transfer the land, previously owned by a private citizen.

Finger Lakes Land Trust Executive Director Andy Zepp says this land is in an area that they have focused on for years, and it was an opportunity to double the size of FLCC's field station in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Finger Lakes.
"We felt it was a great idea to conserve the land and to expand educational opportunities and we worked together to do that. So now this land has been added to their field station," he said.
Zepp says the Land Trust has focused for years on conserving land around the south end of Canandaigua Lake, and this was an opportunity to do that, plus expand educational opportunities, as well.
"It was undeveloped woodland that we thought was best to remain that way, so we acquired it and then conveyed it to the college, subject to some restrictions on use, so it can only be used for education, conservation and recreation purposes," he said.
FLCC Professor of Environmental Conservation & Horticulture, Joh Van Neil, issued this statement:
"The addition of this property to our existing East Hill Campus will have an immediate impact on several of our courses." With 33 additional acres, this increases the range of wildlife management projects we can undertake with students. And since the land has been managed differently than the existing campus, students will be able to compare and contrast the forests and, over time, we will see the benefits of forest management practices."

8-30, 8-31, 9-1 1969 Mostly crowd scenes, sparklers at night, look closely and you can see Santana. Nothing special, but I thought in honor of the upcoming 40th anniversary of the Festival (it was two weeks after Woodstock!) I thought I would share this. If someone wants to add a soundtrack let me know and I'll send them the AVI file.
Footage of Led Zeppelin playing "I Can't Quit You Baby" , "Dazed And Confused" , "You Shook Me" and "How Many More Times" at the Texas International Pop Festival.. They're not playing "You Shook Me" at the beginning, whoever edited this (not me) made a mistake. Enjoy this rare footage.
The Texas International Pop Festival was a music festival held at Lewisville, Texas, on Labor Day weekend, August 30-September 1, 1969. It occurred two weeks after Woodstock. The site for the event was the newly-opened Dallas International Motor Speedway, located on the east side of Interstate Highway 35E, across from the Round Grove Road intersection. The festival was the brainchild of Angus G. Wynne III, son of Angus G. Wynne, the founder of the Six Flags Over Texas Amusement Park. Wynne was a concert promoter who had attended the Atlanta International Pop Festival on the July Fourth weekend. He decided to put a festival on near Dallas, and joined with the Atlanta festival's main organizer, Alex Cooley, forming the company Interpop Superfest. Artists performing at the festival were: Led Zeppelin, B.B. King, Canned Heat, Chicago (then called Chicago Transit Authority), Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, Freddie King, Grand Funk Railroad, Herbie Mann, Incredible String Band, James Cotton, Janis Joplin, Johnny Winter, Nazz, Rotary Connection, Sam and Dave, Santana, Shiva's Headband, Sly and the Family Stone, Space Opera, Spirit, Sweetwater, Ten Years After and Tony Joe White. North of the festival site was the campground on Lewisville Lake, where hippie attendees skinny-dipped and bathed. Also on the campground was the free stage, where some bands played after their main stage gig and several bands not playing on the main stage performed. It was on this stage that Wavy Gravy, head of the Hog Farm commune, acquired his name. (At Woodstock, he was Hugh Romney.) The Merry Pranksters, Ken Kesey's group, was in charge of the free stage and camping area. While Kesey was neither at the Texas event nor at Woodstock, his right hand man, Ken Babbs, and his psychedelic bus, Further (Furthur) were. The Hog Farm provided security, a trip tent, and free food. Attendance at the festival remains unknown, but is estimated between 120,000 and 150,000. As with Woodstock, there were no violent crimes reported. There was one death, due to heatstroke, and one birth. High-quality soundboard bootleg recordings of almost the entire festival are circulated on the internet. Led Zeppelin's set is one of the most popular Led Zeppelin bootlegs due to the high technical and musical quality of the performance.

Varied training kept Plover officer safe, officials say

Varied training kept Plover officer safe, officials say Supervisors will keep monitoring returning officer to make sure he's OK, officials said. Check out this story on stevenspointjournal.com: http://spjour.nl/YvxzwY

Plover Officer Andrew Hopfensperger used techniques he learned in training to avoid injury during an Aug. 8 traffic stop, when he shot a man armed with a knife, officials say.(Photo: Plover Police Department)
PLOVER – When Plover Officer Andrew Hopfensperger pulled over a gold truck on Highway 54 on a Friday night, he had no idea he was about to put his training to the ultimate test.
Until August, no Plover officer had ever shot another human being in the line of duty. For the most part, their pistols had been used only for range practice and to dispatch the occasional deer that strayed into traffic.
That changed on Aug. 8, when Hopfensperger drew his firearm and shot and injured Brett Lieberman during a traffic stop on Highway 54 in Plover. Police reports say Lieberman exited his vehicle and charged at Hopfensperger while holding a knife. Hopfensperger blocked several stab attempts before pushing Lieberman away, drawing his weapon and firing several times while Lieberman continued to stab at him, according to court records. Lieberman faces an Oct. 6 hearing on a charge of first-degree attempted homicide and is jailed on a $100,000 cash bond.
The Plover Police Department cleared the officer to return to duty Sept. 1, but has taken a hard look at its training to decide what worked, what didn't and what officers can learn from it, officials said. Meanwhile, they say they also are keeping an eye on Hopfensperger to make sure he's coping well since the incident.
The consensus so far within the department is that the training Plover employs, which includes techniques that go beyond the standard manual for law enforcement, worked well during that August incident.
Hopfensperger used techniques from a defense system called SPEAR to fend off his attacker before shooting, according to Plover Police Capt. Gary Widder, based on debriefings with Hopfensperger. Developed by martial artist Tony Blaur, SPEAR uses the body's natural reactions and turns them into a defense system.
Widder said the training is crucial because real situations rarely reflect standard, by-the-book scenarios. The training must be realistic and reflect a variety of possible scenarios an officer might encounter.
"I tell my officers that each technique is another tool in their tool belt," Widder said. "But some tools end up being more effective than others."
Widder credits training officer Jim Decker and the rest of the training staff for constantly seeking out new techniques and defense systems to keep Plover officers safe. Decker is the type of person who uses his vacation days to attend seminars and conferences on defense tactics, Widder said.
The department won't conduct additional training in light of the shooting in Plover, Widder said, but might choose to focus more on firearms and defense tactics. Recently, officers trained in various shooting situations, focusing on unusual settings such as shooting into and from a car.
"Scenarios in real life rarely look like they do in the movies," Widder said.
No amount of training can teach someone how to cope with the realities of shooting another human being, however. Hopfensperger, who was hired by the Plover Police Department in 2006, declined to be interviewed for this story, but Plover Chief Dwayne Wierzba and Widder both said Hopfensperger is back to all his regular duties and seems by all accounts to be doing fine. Hopsfenberger is making traffic stops and responding to calls just as he did before the shooting incident.
But everyone responds to traumatic experiences differently, said Marshfield Clinic Clinical Psychologist Jennifer Michels. Some people exhibit almost no symptoms of trauma while others are deeply affected.
Others can seem fine at first but later show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, Michels said.
Supervisors in Plover will keep checking with Hopfensperger to make sure he's doing OK, Widder said.
"We're a law enforcement family," Widder said. "We've got each other's backs."
That support has been, and continues to be, crucial to Hopfensperger and the department, Wierzba said.
"Throughout the process, a lot of officers in our agency and other agencies have been supportive," the chief said. "Whatever we can do to help smooth the transition, we will attempt to do."

How Does Investment Servicing Work?
The world of investment servicing can become quite confusing. This is especially true is you're new to investing. With so many questions pouring into our investment servicing department, we decided to put together some of the most helpful answers here for you to learn more.
How does the Operator of an investment know when to make payments?
When funded and closed, a welcome packet goes out that includes their first payment letter, mortgage statement, and coupon payment booklet. In the event of a late payment, letters go out to them on the 15th of each month. In addition, Balloon Payment letters go out at the 90/60/30 day mark before the investment is due.
What do investors receive once the investment is closed and funded?
When the investment is funded and closed, a notification goes to all invested parties. This informs them of their investment number, property address, and percentage breakdown of all investing parties.
Interest payment processing takes 3-5 business days. Disbursements to investors are made on Tuesdays and Fridays, following a 5 day hold to ensure payments clear.
Why are the first disbursements lower than the monthly return?
The day investors fund the investment is the first day you earn interest. In most cases, funding takes place somewhere in the middle of the month and as a result, this is considered odd day's interest. Depending on the day that your investment closes, disbursements go to Investors on Tuesdays and Fridays, following a 5-day hold to ensure payments clear. Payments either go out through direct deposit or the mail. Investors that set up for direct deposit will see their payment hit their account the following business day.
If I set up direct deposit (ACH), will I lose the ability to have a paper trail or keep track of what each payment is for?
Investor's set up for direct deposit receive monthly statements detailing a summary of their serviced investments. Investor statements illustrate information on each payment disbursed.
Can I use multiple bank accounts for my direct deposit?
Each investment is set up to only disburse to one account.
Do Investor's get a copy of all statements that go out to Operators?
Investors are always notified when welcome packets go out to Operators. Upon request, we can provide a copy of statements sent to Operators.

Lets Get Killed
Yesterday's album this seems like the natural progression: a couple of years later, with bits of musique concrète and street recordings of conversations, jungle's gone from the darkness of the club to the dim lights of a laptop screen.
It just feels tamer. As if he's more into planning than doing. Also, it feels like a compilation album where someone's set out to gather "what's hot now" and wound up with eight or ten more or less different electronixc genres squeezed into thirteen songs.
Sometimes there's just too much lag time - like in his version of the James Bond Theme, Radio 7, where the intro repeats itself for at least twenty seconds too long (other than that, it's an okay track).
The instrumental version of two of the dirty old man Serge Gainsbourg's songs (Melody and Cargo Culte) which he calls Don't Die Just Yet is rather good, though.

II. Alajos (Aloys Maria Josef Johann Baptista Joachim Philipp Nerius von und zu Liechtenstein; Bécs, 1796. május 26. - Eisgrub, 1858. november 12.) Liechtenstein hercege 1836 és 1858 között. A forradalmat követően 1849-ben egy némileg modernizált alkotmányt vezetett be hercegségében, de csak ideiglenesen.

Élete
Alajos 1796. május 26-án született Bécsben, I. János liechtensteini herceg és Josefa zu Fürstenberg-Weitra harmadik gyermekeként. Tanárai között volt Friedrich Schlegel filozófus is. Olaszországban, Svájcban, Angliában és Skóciában tanult. Katonatiszt apjától eltérően őt inkább a mezőgazdaság és a botanika érdekelte és megbízottjai révén számos növényfajt hozatott be Angliából és a tengerentúlról. Kapcsolatban állt kora művészeivel és bővítette a család híres műgyűjteményét.

Apja 1836-os halála után Alajos örökölte a Liechtensteini hercegséget és a család morvaországi és sziléziai birtokait. Ő volt az első uralkodó herceg, aki meglátogatta a családról elnevezett kis hercegséget (a mai Liechtensteint), 1842-ben és 1847-ben. Az ő uralkodása idején végezték el a Rajna szabályozását és lényegesen lecsökkent az árvízveszély. 1852-ben vámszerződést kötött Ausztriával, amellyel megteremtette a gazdasági fejlődés alapját.

1848 tavaszán Liechtensteinbe is eljutottak a forradalmi eszmék és a hercegség népe liberális alkotmányt követelő petíciót juttatott el Alajoshoz. A herceg először megszüntetett néhány feudális jellegű adót és kötelezettséget és 1849. március 7-én kiadott rendeleteiben engedélyezte hogy a nép képviselői is részt vegyenek a politika irányításában. Miután 1852-ben a liberális forradalom megbukott, visszavonta a rendeleteit.

Családja
Alajos 1831-ben feleségül vette Franziska Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau grófnőt (1813 – 1881). Tizenegy gyermekük született:
Marie Franziska de Paula Theresia Josepha (1834 – 1909) feleségül ment Ferdinand von Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg grófhoz
Carolina Maria Josepha Walpurgis Nestoria (1836 – 1885) feleségül ment Alexander von Schönburg-Hartenstein herceghez
Sophie Marie Gabriele Pia (1837 – 1899) feleségül ment Karl von Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg herceghez
Aloysia Maria Gabriela Hyppolita (1838 – 1920) feleségül ment Heinrich von Fünfkirchen grófhoz
Ida Maria Lamberta Theresia Franziska de Paula (1839 – 1921) feleségül ment Adolf Joseph zu Schwarzenberg herceghez
Johann Maria Franz Placidus (1840–1929) Liechtenstein hercege
Franziska Xaveria Maria David (1841 – 1858)
Henriette Maria Norberta (1843 – 1931) feleségül ment unokatestvéréhez, Alfred von Liechtensteinhez
Anna Maria Francisca de Paula Leandra (1846 – 1924) feleségül ment Georg Christian von Lobkowicz herceghez
Therese Maria Josepha Martha (1850 – 1958) feleségül ment Arnulf bajor herceghez
Franz de Paula Maria Karl August (1853–1938) Liechtenstein hercege

Understanding what's happening inside and outside of philanthropy enables fundraisers to "work smarter, not harder". Dr. Nichols provides insights into the 4 key areas of philanthropic change: the overall stagnation of giving, the increasing competition for donations, the shift from giving from self-directed/institutional charities to altruistic/nimble organizations, and the reality that most giving continues to come from individuals as well as discussing outside forces that include the implications of population shifts and societal changes as well as technological changes. This webinar lays out overall strategies fundraisers can use to grow their programs in the competitive years ahead, offering practical information, and examples on focusing on committed giving and connecting with new audiences.

Antonin Lefevre
Antonin Lefevre is a graphic designer and illustrator based in Brussels, Belgium. He graduated in 2016 from a master's degree program in the field of editorial design from l'École de Recherche Graphique. Antonin now focuses his work mainly on illustrations, although he continues working in the field of graphic communication. Influenced by Bosch, Goya, Doré, Kubin, McQuarrie, Topor, Druillet, and many others, he shapes his visuals by drawing upon various topics, such as mythology, science-fiction, chess, and news, to name a few. Although he produces mainly digital drawings, he attaches great importance to designing on paper, through mediums such as wood-engraving, rotring, or graphite pencil. Another part of his work is dedicated to the editorial field, which includes his illustrations. Through a sharp aesthetic, stemming from a naked way of drawing, he composes satyric and irreverent scenes showing characters in a difficult physical positions.
How would you describe your aesthetic? What are your biggest influences?
It's a sharp aesthetic, with nervous and round lines, to produce satyric and irreverent scenes. The choice of my aesthetic is based on my main influence, which is Rolland Topor, who gave me the passion of illustration. The fantasy scenes of Ralph McQuarrie also strongly influenced me with his interest in science fiction. The engaged production of Tomi Ungerer influenced my choice of subject. Finally, the work of graphic designer Robert Beatty has greatly sharpened my sense of composition.
Image: Antonin Lefevre
How have your personal experiences contributed to the types of illustrations that you create?
First, by the travels that I have been able to make, which have been able to awaken me on new aesthetics, way of producing, history, etc. Also, by the people for whom I have been able to work. Indeed, when I start a graphic identity for a client, I always force myself to shape a world or an original story. It is the exercise that I give myself daily. I tell myself stories.
How long have you been illustrating?
What is the most difficult aspect of illustration, in your opinion?
From my point of view, the most difficult thing will be to make the image speak, to slip in a message, engaged or not, and to not just stop at a pretty drawing.
What has been your greatest accomplishment in terms of your illustration?
When I discovered that I could say what I wanted with my pencil, without a filter.
How would you like to see your work evolve over the next 5 years? Any upcoming projects that you can tell us about?
I would like to continue my activity as a graphic designer. It's always a pleasure to design with text and image, and I hope to have expanded my professional fields to the press and publishing. This year, I have several projects. One is an exhibition of engraving and drawing with the subject of chess and pornography, and I'm currently leading an editorial project that brings together several illustrators around an original science fiction topic.

The Stixrud Group, LLC offers neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. Our comprehensive neuropsychological assessments are designed to clarify an individual's strengths and weaknesses in cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning. Neuropsychological assessment also helps to identify inefficiencies in brain functioning which contribute to learning and social/emotional difficulties.
For children and adolescents, results from the neuropsychological evaluation are useful in determining such things as appropriate educational placement and programming, behavior management techniques, avenues for self-help, career direction, and advisability of medical intervention.
For adults, results from assessments are most frequently used to update documentation of a learning disorder for college, professional study, or licensing. However, it can also be used to diagnose neurologically-based brain disorders and to help plan rehabilitation following a brain injury or a stroke.
For both adolescents and adults, results can contribute to planning career direction, higher education and training, vocational rehabilitation, and psychotherapeutic approach.
Is a Neuropsychological Evaluation Right For Me?
The Stixrud Group, LLC provides neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults.
Regardless of the reason, the goal of our evaluations is develop a holistic profile of an individual's capabilities, differences, and special needs so that proper decisions can be made and appropriate expectations developed. Our ultimate goal is to use our knowledge and professional skills to help people be more successful in school, in their careers, and/or in their relationships, and to remove any blocks to their experiencing happiness and fulfillment in life.
First – Collect some information including name, date of birth, address, and so on.
Second – Mail you a packet of information about our services.
Third – Arrange a telephone consultation, which is free of charge, between you and an educational diagnostician. During this conversation you will have an opportunity to ask specific questions regarding your concerns, including testing procedures, fees, payment and insurance.
Which children, adolescents and adults would benefit from a neuropsychological evaluation?
How does a psycho educational assessment differ from a neuropsychological evaluation?
My child has already has a speech and language assessment. Would I learn anything new from a neuropsychological evaluation?
Are neuropsychological evaluations only for diagnosing LD and ADHD?
If my child takes medication, how will that affect the test results?
If my child is evaluated in your office, can s/he get testing accommodations for the SAT/ACT?
My child's pediatrician says s/he has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Is there any point in getting a neuropsychological evaluation if I already have this diagnosis?
My child was recently evaluated by the local public school system, and we were told s/he does not have a learning disability; however, we are still concerned about his/her performance in school. Is it worth having a private neuropsychological evaluation?
How does the public school evaluation compare to a private neuropsychological evaluation?
If my child is evaluated in your office does the local public school system automatically accept the results and provide special education services?
How do I know when it's time for my child to be re-evaluated?
What kind of recommendations may I expect from the evaluation?
What kind of assistance may I expect with regards to follow up from your office?
At this point we can schedule the evaluation, or, it may be appropriate to refer you to another type of service. If you are not ready to schedule an evaluation at this time, we do keep the paperwork on file for about eighteen months should you change your plans.If your first telephone call to our office is directly to a licensed psychologist, they will return your call as well as give your name and telephone number to the administrative assistant who will also contact you to initiate the above sequence.
Please click here to access our Evaluation Process Flow Chart OR You can get started now by filling out the new client information form.
Learn more about our Adult Neuropsychology services.
Approximately one week after testing is completed, a 1 ½ to 2 hour interpretive conference is scheduled to discuss the test results and recommendations. A detailed written report summarizing the test results and recommendations is then mailed to the client approximately four to six weeks after the interpretive conference. Upon request, the neuropsychologist is available to hold a feedback session with the child to provide him/her with results and further recommendations.
The Assessment of Personality and Emotional Disorders takes approximately 2-3 hours and consists of several objective and projective personality measures and a diagnostic interview. It is recommended when a more complete assessment of personality and emotional functioning is required. The neuropsychological evaluation may include specialized assessment of social cognition, e.g. the ability to understand socially relevant information.
This additional assessment would be indicated when there are significant concerns about 1) the development of age appropriate social skills as demonstrated with family members, other adults, or peers, 2) the ability to use and understand language both at home and at school, or 3) the development of appropriate and accurate self perception and self awareness. The evaluation of social cognition includes more extensive assessment of your child's social, cognitive and language development.
3) the administration of tests which offer additional information to help understand these issues. The social cognition assessment requires 2 to 3 hours, in addition to the standard neuropsychological battery described above.
This is a specialized evaluation to assess for a possible autism–spectrum disorder and/or to evaluate children / adolescents who have already been diagnosed on the spectrum. This type of evaluation is appropriate for children and adolescents, ages 4 to 20, who exhibit difficulties with social development, communication / language, and/or behavioral difficulties including rigid / inflexible behaviors.
An extensive parent interview that includes a detailed review of the individual's developmental, medical, and educational histories, as well as extensive review of social, emotional, and behavioral development.
As with the standard neuropsychological evaluation, a two-hour parent feedback session is scheduled to discuss the evaluation results and recommendations approximately one week after testing is completed. A detailed written evaluation report is mailed to the client within approximately four to six weeks. This written report summarizes the evaluation findings and recommendations.
Lastly, the neuropsychologist is available to conduct an additional feedback meeting with the child in order to discuss the results and recommendations with him/her. A neuropsychologist and a clinical assistant will complete this evaluation. The first appointment will be the parent interview with the neuropsychologist. After this, the individual will come in for testing— first with the neuropsychologist, and then with the clinical assistant. The neuropsychologist will then conduct the feedback session with the parents (and the child if requested) and prepare the written report.
A.S.E.S.S. is a comprehensive evaluation program for adopted children and adolescents who are experiencing academic, social, and/or emotional difficulties. It combines our expertise in neuropsychological assessment with the understanding of — and experience with — adopted children possessed by the staff at the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.). We have found that we are able to be much more helpful to adoptive families when we combine a thorough neuropsychological assessment with a sensitive evaluation of a child's understanding of the adoption process and his/her role in the family.As a result, prior to or following neuropsychological testing in our office, the child and his/her parents are interviewed by a professional from C.A.S.E. We then integrate our findings, which we present to the parents in an interpretive conference, attended by our neuropsychologist and an adoption specialist from C.A.S.E. Following this conference, a feedback meeting is scheduled with the child in order to help the child better understand himself/herself.
Learn more about our Early Childhood Evaluation service.
Ideal candidates are students who exhibit difficulties which are often related to learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder and/or executive dysfunction rather than problems where the primary concern is psychiatric.
Students whose families are involved in issues related to separation, divorce, or legal custody are beyond the scope of this offering. For pro bono evaluations we CAN NOT be involved in legal issues.
Students who have significant medical problems are very appropriate candidates because the evaluation is well designed to understand the educational impact of the medical condition, and in these instances it would be highly likely that the family is already working with a medical team.
The families must be able to provide transportation and be available on three separate days during the work week in order for us to complete the testing and the parent interpretative conference.
With regards to English as a second language, there are no hard and fast guidelines. The student must at least be reasonably fluent in English. As for the parent interpretative conference, IF the parents are not fluent in English, we can utilize an interpreter. Although, it is worth keeping in mind that significant cultural differences may exist and linguistic challenges only adds to widen this gap.
Note that the written report will look exactly the same as for our other clients; however, please remember that the recommendations may be modified to reflect what is actually realistic for the family because we are committed to making a valiant effort to create a viable treatment plan.
Prior to the evaluation, the parents will be given the standard informed consent form, which details the scope and sequence of the evaluation. We want to be clear with the referral sources that this informed consent does not give them automatic access to the written report or even permission for the psychologist to speak to the referral source. We will provide the parents with an Authorization of Release for Written and Oral Communication, and we will strongly encourage the parents to complete this authorization.

"Fact Checker" — Joe Biden's "Gun Ban" Not a Gun Ban Because Some Guns Wouldn't Be Banned
July 25, 2019 glen Zediker	2 Comments
It's hard to check facts when the fact-checkers don't know them… KEEP READING
SOURCE: NRA-ILA
Facebook has teamed up with what it calls "third-party fact-checkers" to punish users of its platform that post information embarrassing or inconvenient to the political outlook of its principals. Yet like most sources of what passes as "news" or "journalism" these days, these "independent" organizations have knowledge deficits and outright biases that color the information they provide to the public. Take, for example, Politifact's assertion that a gun ban is not a gun ban if there are still guns left to be banned.
Last month, the NRA's Facebook page posted a photo of Joe Biden with the message: "Joe Biden calls for gun ban." This was in reference to Biden's well-known and very explicit stance that he wants to ban AR-15s and like semiautomatic rifles
There is no dispute about this. As vice-president, Biden responded to a petition by gun control activists demanding a ban on "AR-15-type weapons" by stating: "I want to say this as plainly and clearly as possible: The President and I agree with you. Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines should be banned from civilian ownership."
More recently as a candidate for the Democrat presidential nomination, Biden published what he called a "Plan for Educator's, Students, and our Future." Among its agenda items was to "[d]efeat the National Rifle Association" by "championing legislation to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines – bans [Biden] authored in 1994."
So yes, he wants a gun ban. And not just on some exotic or unusual types of firearms known only to criminals or the military but on what are in fact the most popular types of centerfire rifles in America today.
After the NRA post, Facebook appended a link to a Politifact story that rated the NRA's claim as "Mostly False."
Politifact did not deny that Biden wants to ban AR-15s and similar guns, nor did it deny those types of firearms are very common and popular in the U.S.
Nevertheless, it insisted that "saying Biden calls for a gun ban could lead readers to believe he's seeking to outlaw all firearms."
This is classic use of a strawman by Politifact.
In other words, Politifact fabricated a theoretical misperception about what the NRA actually said to make a true statement "Mostly False."
But the NRA made very clear exactly what sort of "ban" we were referring to by linking to a Fox News article about Biden's "education" plan.
The Politifact article also used details of the 1994 "assault weapon" ban that Biden helped author and shepherd into law to make claims about what he means now when he says he wants to ban "assault weapons."
But anti-gun Democrats have in intervening years introduced far more extensive bans under the phony "assault weapons" rubric, making it clear that prominent members of the party think the old ban did not go far enough.
Just how far Biden is proposing to go in banning guns is therefore unclear. He has not actually released legislative language for his proposed ban, nor a comprehensive list of the guns or design features he would seek to prohibit. There is no reason to believe, however, that he would (as Politifact takes for granted) feel bound by limitations in an old law that leaders of his party now view as inadequate.
In any case, a leading firearm industry source estimated there were more than 16 million AR-15-style rifles owned by civilians as of 2018. Merely banning future sales of those types of guns would unquestionably be a sweeping and dramatic incursion on access to the very types of firearms that Americans, left to their own devices, choose for lawful purposes.
It's also notable that the old law Biden referenced was often referred to in news sources, that Politifact undoubtedly would consider reputable, as a "gun ban" or "Clinton's gun ban," including PBS, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. Were they also being misleading or hyperbolic in the use of that term?
Politifact additionally mentions in passing that Biden insisted during a nationally televised debate on June 27, "We should have smart guns," and, "No gun should be able to be sold unless your biometric measure could pull that trigger." He went on to characterize "gun manufacturers" as "our enemy."
What Politifact conveniently omitted from its story is that no firearm currently available in the U.S. meets Biden's fanciful "biometric" activation test.
It would therefore not be much of a stretch, given Biden's own words, to suggest he doesn't think any of the guns currently available for sale in the U.S. are acceptable.
Finally, Politifact ignored the fact that during the same debate, Biden also said: "I would buy back those weapons. We already started talking about that. We tried to get it done. I think it can be done. It should be demanded that we do it and that's a good expenditure of money."
Again, what "weapons" Biden was referring to or the details of his proposal were not clear, but the sort of "buybacks" the Obama administration promoted while Biden was vice president were modeled on policies adopted in Australia during the 1990s. These "buybacks" would more accurately be characterized as orders of mandatory firearm surrender. While owners of the affected guns were offered some bureaucratically set compensation for their property, it was an offer they couldn't refuse. Failure to sell the banned guns could have resulted in the owners being criminally prosecuted and even jailed.
Given the foregoing, we rate Politifact's article "politics, not fact."
In this case the "fact-checker" was clearly trying to discredit a true statement from the NRA and minimize the increasingly radical nature of the anti-gun agenda being pursued by leading Democrats, namely Joe Biden.

Q: Looping function over range which changes each year PROJECT - collecting topic information from Australian High Court decisions published online to analyse trends over time.
CURRENT PROBLEM - trying to iterate 'case_importer' function (which returns relevant character strings from decisions) over each year a number of times equal to the number of cases decided in that year.
I can achieve this manually by using a for loop which iterates as many times as there were cases each year - using 2020 (which has had 14 cases so far) for example:
for (i in 14) {
  hc_cases_2020_list[[i]] <- case_importer(2020, i)
}

However, I would rather not have to rewrite the number of iterations for each year manually.
I have stored the number of cases per year in an excel sheet called 'hc_cases_per_year' which has two columns, 'year' and 'num_cases', and created a function which gives the 'num_cases' value with a year input.
Any advice in solving the specific problem or taking a better approach would be beyond appreciated.
My code so far is below - thanks for taking the time to read!

Check out my video lesson for how to play the classic "Sweet Home Alabama". All the chords, strums and riffs are shown and don't forget to print out the TAB to make the lesson even easier to follow. This is a 2 part lesson, simply login to watch the second part.
So this is obviously an all time classic tune for guitar players. As the video shows, you can still get a great sound playing this on acoustic even through the original is played on electric guitar into vintage Marshall amps.
Much has been made about this between music journalists (most of it is blown out of proportion).
The track was a 2nd hit for the guys and actually none of the 3 writers of the song were from Alabama. Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington were both born in Jacksonville, Florida. Ed King was from Glendale, California.

Fundraiser set up for family in Zeeland house fire
ZEELAND — A GoFundMe page has been set up for a family who lost their home and their dog in a house fire on Friday, Dec. 28, in Zeeland Township.
The fire happened around 4 p.m. Friday in the 2000th block of Dover Lane around 4 p.m. The homeowner called 911 after he came home to find the house filled with smoke.
While the homeowners — Corey and Naomi Vandeweg — and their two children made it out safely, the family dog Gunner died as a result of the fire. Firefighters attempted to revive the dog with oxygen, but were not successful.
Zeeland Township Fire Chief Phil Hunderman said on scene that officials had not yet determined the cause of the fire. According to a Facebook post by Naomi Vandeweg, the family won't be able to move back into their home for four to six months due to the damage, and "will pretty much be building a new home without having to move."
Vandeweg said in her Facebook post that the family is very thankful for the efforts of Zeeland Fire Rescue, and everyone who has supported the family with things like calls, texts, Facebook messages, donated money and clothes, prayers and visits.
To help with the Vandeweg family's expenses, donations can be made to gofundme.com/vandeweg-family-fire.

The Mesa you are standing on is called Monument Mesa because in the 1850's, the first Border Monument was erected on the newly defined Border between Mexico and the United States. At that time, and continuing a centuries-long tradition for the local indigenous population, there was free and friendly movement of people across this area where previously there had been no Border. For generations, the Monument was known as a destination for tourists, for family reunions, for friendly meetups and peaceful, cross-border events. And in 1971, Border Field State Park was established and Friendship Park was inaugurated as a place for friends and family from both sides of the Border to gather. Unfortunately, over the next half-century, and especially during the past two decades, Border Patrol infrastructure and policies have increasingly restricted access to the Border wall and to Friendship Park.
Now, from the US side, you can no longer get to or even see the Monument that signifies the peace between these two nations. But -- as you can see from this aerial view -- the Monument is still there!
Right now people in Mexico are enjoying Friendship Park as it was intended to be enjoyed -- as a lively plaza, free and open to the public. Please be assured that there are good people on the other side of these two walls who would love to greet you in a spirit of peace and friendship.
Friendship Park as seen from atop the Lighthouse On the Mexican side (view is from south to north).
THE ENFORCEMENT ZONE
About 15 years ago, the U.S. federal government took a strip of land adjacent to the border from the State of California by eminent domain. This "enforcement zone" for U.S. Border Patrol lies between where you are standing, and the Mexican side of Friendship Park (no longer visible from the US).
The two 18-foot walls that define the enforcement zone are separated by more than 100 ft. Between the two walls, and straddling the "primary wall" (the wall farthest from where you are standing), is a binational plaza, designed in the shape of a circle, that is the heart of Friendship Park.
Even after these border walls were completed in 2011, people were permitted to pass through the gate in the "secondary wall" (the wall nearest to you) and access the international boundary in this space. As implied by the sign above the gate, these hours of public access in the United States were restricted to a few hours each weekend.
Thousands of families have reunited with loved ones at this historic location. Most are separated by immigration status, meaning some members of the family are unable to travel from the US to Mexico, while others are unable to secure a tourist visa to visit in the United States.
Now, since before the Pandemic, access is no longer allowed by the U.S. Border Patrol. Unaware that Friendship Park is closed, some families still travel to Monument Mesa, hoping to see their loved ones, only to be left waving and talking on the phone with each other from afar across the two walls.
to the West of the Monument
Here at the Pacific Ocean is the only spot along the entire 1,954-mile southern border that touches an ocean. For decades, cross-border family barbecues and picnics on the beach were the norm. Even as recently as the early 2000's, families could interact across the Border, as seen in this photograph:
Now, on the US side, federal authorities have prohibited access to the international boundary on the beach for over a decade. They have lined the border wall on the beach (the "primary wall") with barbed wire and razor coils. The chain link fence and traffic cones that extend from the "secondary wall" across the beach demarcate federal property. If you were to attempt to approach the border wall on the beach you would be run off by Border Patrol officials.
to the East of the Monument
The Binational Garden of Native Plants is the passion project of advocate and Friend of Friendship Park Dan Watman. Nature knows no borders, and the native flora of this region are no exception. Native Plants have graced this sliced-up space on both sides of the Border wall. Then, in 2020, a Border Patrol agent bulldozed the garden on the US side. After promising to make things right, the Border Patrol have neither provided the promised recompense nor even allowed access to tend the young plants. On the Mexican side, a slew of volunteers maintain the Garden and also grow vegetables that are often used for the weekly Sunday 2:00 p.m. community meal, offered by Via International and Casa de Luz.
THE BORDER CHURCH
The Border Church ("La Iglesia Fronteriza") is a nonsectarian Christian ministry centered in the celebration of open-table communion on the U.S.-Mexico border. Since November 2011, people from both the United States and Mexico have gathered each Sunday afternoon to share communion at Friendship Park, if even from a distance.
The Border Church celebration begins at 1:30 pm each Sunday afternoon. Most Sundays Pastor Seth Clark presides on the U.S. side. A large gathering celebrates communion at the same time on the Mexican side of Friendship Park.
Pastor Seth Clark consecrates and serves communion from the U.S. side of Friendship Park.
If you would like, you are welcome to receive communion. Please know that people are doing the same thing on the Mexican side of Friendship Park. Afterwards, our friends in Mexico will enjoy a hearty meal, served free of charge to approximately 80 people each Sunday.

Through a process called INQUIRY… "4 simple questions" and what she calls a "turnaround", people experience FREEDOM from the thoughts that once imprisoned their lives. It's simple and effective. As our attachment to thought changes, so does our entire world. It has to change, when we change. As we learn to question the thoughts that give us stress, pain and turmoil, we discover the real "truth". A thought, once examined, is just that … "a thought", neither good or bad, it just "IS". It's our ATTACHMENT to "thought" that creates pain. Through "inquiry", one is able to experience thoughts vanishing, and experience the resulting peace that appears in its absence.
Her work also parallels other spiritual teachings. Accepting, allowing and "loving what is" in your life IS a vital KEY to fulfillment. When we RESIST what life presents us, and try to CONTROL it, we experience stress. "The Work" offers invaluable guidance in learning how to more fully embrace "what is" in our lives.
Her work affected me deeply. It's allowed me to recognize "truth" in a way I hadn't previously been able to. Teachings I once only understood intellectually, I now "get" at my core. I feel clear, free and more inspired than ever. And, I notice that my mind isn't incessantly filled with "chitter-chatter". A still mind is something I enjoy quite frequently these days.
I've since introduced "the work" to my clients, and have seen remarkable and potent shifts in each their lives, as a result of INQUIRY. Relationships with children, bosses, friends and lovers have magically improved. More importantly, her work allows one to transform the relationship that affects our entire reality – the one with OURSELVES.

Michel de Bustros, owner and founder of Chateau Kefraya Wine Industries, has retained his roots in Lebanon throughout his lifetime. Born in Beirut in 1929, he has proven himself as quite the successful businessman in the wine industry with the company that he oversees in Lebanon.
The vineyard, located in the heart of Lebanon in Bekaa Valley, sells wine to a global market that includes 35 countries. It has won over 200 medals for its exquisite wine in its 28 years of existence. Chateau Kefraya sells red, white and rosé wines that they then classify into one of four different categories. Despite their numerous wines, they are most famous for "Le Comte de M".
The wine industry is one of the few trades that emerged successfully from the faltering Lebanese economy and business world. It overcame heavy market collapses, a devastating war, and the demolition of many vineyards. Amidst the industry's success, de Bustros' company is one of the leading wine producers and produces two million bottles of wine per year.
Before this widespread success, de Bustros received an extensive education. Over his academic career, he received three degrees from La Sagesse College, St. Joseph University of Beirut, and the Higher School of Letters. These degrees include an LL.B., his Bachelor's in History, and his Bachelor's of Political Science. Michel married his former wife Rose Fakoury in 1959 when he was 30 years old and the couple raised four children together.
In addition to these companies, de Bustros also served as the former director in the Lebanese National Tourist Board. In addition to the winery, he owns his own restaurant "Le Relais Dionysos".
De Bustros is a member of Chevalier du Tastevin, which can be translated to read in English as "Brotherhood of Knights of Wine-Tasting Cups". He also belongs to Commandeur de Bordeaux. The former group promotes Burgundy wines and the latter encourages Bordeaux wines. Furthermore, de Bustros belongs to Compagnie des mousquetaires d'Armagnac.
A description of the company from the official website reads, "A Musketeer of Armagnac is a person of his or her own time who, whilst always prepared to fully participate in the modern way of life, always maintains a respect for traditional values. This is what the Company of Musketeers stands for, and it is for this reason that more and more candidates wish to join the Company."
De Bustros embodies this depiction. He started producing wine in 1979 and continues to enjoy his work in the industry at 83 years of age. His hard work and passions paid off; Chateau Kefraya is now the second-largest wine producer in Lebanon.
Outside of his professional life, de Bustros enjoys the opera, reading, and music-sophisticated pastimes that are indicative of the elegance he exudes both in his personal life and in the business world. His pastimes affect his work; Chateau Kefraya runs on 10,000 acres of land with six parks, each lawn named after a particular operatic composer.
"Art and wine, all sorts of art, are really linked," de Bustros said. "Blending grapes is an art. A mono-varietal is not an art -- you just make the wine, fill it in bottles and that's all, you didn't give something to it from your soul."

« Bury v Arsenal in the first division? 100 years ago it was exactly that
The train is evacuated, the taxi takes us to the wrong ground… its my first game. »
The season starts… 100 years ago
No transfer window, no internationals interrupting the week by week flow of the games, no European competitions, no "25" registered players, no safety certificates for the grounds, no alcohol restrictions, no pub licensing procedures, no smoking bans….
It makes you wonder sometimes what there was 100 years ago.
For Woolwich Arsenal there was a new season having just scraped survival in the first division, and a new owner (although he wasn't seen around the ground very much at all during the close season, focussing his work and support on Fulham), and the unnerving knowledge that in two years time the club could move to a ground share with Fulham FC.
Henry Norris may not have been looming in the foreground (although reports have it that he did make it to this first game of the season), but he was certainly there in the background.
One little change came with the programme now being edited by the journalist "Gunners Mate" also known as George Allison, who of course became Arsenal's manager in 1934, winning the league in his first season in charge. More on him, and what he was doing writing the Arsenal programme, in a later article.
So the first match was Arsenal v Manchester United and we lost 2-1 in front of 15,000. Rippon scored the only goal. Not a bad crowd for a weekday. I speculated in the article before last about the kick off time – and even if it did kick off after work finished at the armament factories there would have been precious little time to get into the game after work – so that was not a bad turn out.
Our record against Man U was not good – we had up to this point lost seven and won five. Man U had already won the league once (in 1907/8) and were the FA Cup winners in 1909.
Perhaps the most notable fact was the Rippon scored on his debut. At that moment it must have looked good for the young man, but it didn't work out.
There's full details of the team for that game here
So, not the most exciting of starts. Next up was Bury away on September 3rd.

What is Duct Ectasia: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, Surgery
What is Duct Ectasia?
Duct Ectasia is a condition of the breasts in which the mammary glands ducts widen. The breasts or mammary glands are composed of lobules which make milk and ducts which transfer or transport that milk to the nipples. Ducts ectasia occurs when those ducts widen and shorten which can cause the build-up of fluids and other substances in the widened ducts. When this occurs the resulting condition is said to be Duct ectasia.
Duct ectasia is a condition which is associated with increased age and is a benign condition. Sometimes a secretion is also produced which gets accumulated in the widened ducts which leads to a discharge and can become infected. This can sometimes cause pain, redness and soreness.
Other Names for Duct Ectasia
This condition is widely known as Duct ectasia of the breast but is also called Mammary Duct Ectasia. Other alternative names for duct ectasia include Comedomastitis and Periductal mastitis even though periductal mastitis is generally considered a separate condition nowadays. Duct ectasia is also called Plasma Cell Mastitis due to the infiltration of the plasma cells into the duct fluid. A more advanced condition of duct ectasia is called Mastitis Obliterans when the ducts get obliterated.
Causes of Duct Ectasia
Duct ectasia can be caused due to any of the following reasons:
Increasing Age- Most Common Cause Of Duct Ectasia
As you age, a process known as involution occurs in the breasts, which means increase of the fatty tissue in the breasts which are mostly glandular in the young age. These changes can sometimes cause various changes in the breast structure which can lead to duct ectasia.
Duct Ectasia Caused Due to Nipple Inversion
Nipple retraction or nipple inversion can also cause duct ectasia. This inversion of nipple can cause blockage of the breast ducts which usually leads to duct ectasia.
Smoking- A Probable Cause of Duct Ectasia
It is believed that duct ectasia more commonly occurs in smokers than non-smokers, even though there is not ample proof to validate this concept. But it is said that smoking possibly causes widening of ducts which is the primary stage of duct ectasia.
Symptoms of Duct Ectasia
Duct ectasia usually doesn't produce any visible symptoms and is diagnosed when the person suffering from duct ectasia gets a diagnosis for some other disease or disorder of the breasts. But there may be some symptoms which, if the patient pays attention, can lead to an early diagnosis of the disorder. Some of them are as follows:
A lump or thickening seen on the breasts due to the scarring or clogging of the ducts can be an indicator of duct ectasia.
Redness in the breasts can also indicate duct ectasia especially around the nipple region.
Soreness of breasts can also indicate duct ectasia especially if it is in the areolar region (the dark part around nipple).
An inverted nipple which is a nipple that is turned inward can also indicate duct ectasia.
Duct ectasia can also cause a sticky greenish or blackish discharge from the breasts which is usually thick but can also be thin sometimes. It can sometimes also be dirty white.
Diagnosis of Duct Ectasia
As mentioned earlier, duct ectasia is rarely diagnosed on its own. More often than not, it is diagnosed due to the diagnosis of the breasts for some other disease. But if the patient suffers any of the above symptoms and goes to a doctor, then the doctor usually uses the following diagnostic procedures:
The doctor can order an ultrasound to detect the presence of widened ducts which occur in duct ectasia.
A mammogram can also be ordered by the doctor which is basically an X-ray of the breasts to diagnose duct ectasia.
If there is a lump, a biopsy is done by the doctor to make sure that it is not cancer. In a biopsy a hollow needle is used to extract a small piece of a tissue to be examined by a doctor.
Treatment of Duct Ectasia
Duct ectasia is one of those disorders that usually clear up without any treatment. But some of these treatments can also be prescribed by the doctors:
Use of warm compresses can give relief in pain that sometimes occurs in duct ectasia.
Use of antibiotics can help in curing the infection that occurs in duct ectasia.
Paracetamol or some other pain medication may also be prescribed by the doctors to treat pain associated with Duct Ectasia. Pain is not actually a common symptom of duct ectasia but it can be experienced by some patients.
If the nipples keep on secreting sticky discharge in duct ectasia and don't let up, then surgery can also be done by the doctors.
If the discharge occurs, you shouldn't squeeze the nipples as it can lead to further secretion.
Surgical Procedures to Cure Duct Ectasia
If duct ectasia is not getting cured by itself, the doctor may ask to do surgery. The patient will not need to stay in the hospital for very long, may be a day or two. Only a general anesthesia is administered during surgery for duct ectasia. After surgery you will have a small scar near your areola, which will fade in time. The surgery can be of two types:
Microdochectomy
This is a surgical process to cure duct ectasia by removing only those ducts of the mammary glands or breasts which have blockage or are widened leading to fluid accumulation. The removal of only select few problematic ducts is termed microdochectomy.
Duct Excision
Duct excision is a term that refers to the removal of all the major ducts in breasts or mammary glands. This procedure is done not only to cure duct ectasia but also to eliminate the possibility of a further occurrence of the same symptoms.
Does Duct Ectasia Increase Breast Cancer Risk?
Duct ectasia is in no way related to breast cancer, nor does it increase the risk of breast cancer. Duct ectasia is a disorder mostly related to increasing age while cancer is caused by the mutation of the cells leading to unchecked cell division.
All in all, you do not need to worry if you have duct ectasia. If you take some precautions as well as certain medications, chances are it will clear up after a while.

Q: Alguien sabe porque me sale asi el datetime? Alguna ayuda estoy trajando con asp.net mvc las tablas lo llamo con ajax

A: JSON no tiene un tipo de dato de fecha y el serializador de .net por defecto convierte los DateTime a ese formato que ves en forma de string.  Tienes algunas alternativas para tratar con eso:

*

*Lo manejas en JavaScript
Cuando recibes los datos en tu llamada ajax lo deserializas de esta manera:
var data = JSON.parse(data, function(key, value) {
    if (typeof value === 'string') {
        var d = /\/Date\((\d*)\)\//.exec(value);
        return (d) ? new Date(+d[1]) : value;
    }
    return value;
});

la función parse opcionalmente recibe una función como segundo parámetro que te permite controlar cómo interpretar los datos.  En este ejemplo utiliza un regex para identificar los strings que tienen formato de fecha.

*Le das formato en el controller antes de serializar
En lugar de envíar propiedades DateTime, creas otro objeto que tenga una string con la fecha en el formato que desees.  No nos has mostrado el código de la acción que envía la data, si lo agregaras sería más fácil indicarte como hacerlo.

*Utilizas un serializador alternativo
Con un poco de configuración puedes la librería Json.NET que es más flexible y te permite elegir cómo serán serializadas las fechas, en formato Microsoft (/Date(1542333807388)/) o ISO (2018-11-16T02:03:27.388Z).
Creas una clase derivada de JsonResult:
public class CustomJsonResult : JsonResult
{
    private const string _dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";

    public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
    {
        if (context == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("context");
        }

        HttpResponseBase response = context.HttpContext.Response;

        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ContentType))
        {
            response.ContentType = ContentType;
        }
        else
        {
            response.ContentType = "application/json";
        }
        if (ContentEncoding != null)
        {
            response.ContentEncoding = ContentEncoding;
        }
        if (Data != null)
        {
            // Using Json.NET serializer
            var isoConvert = new IsoDateTimeConverter();
            isoConvert.DateTimeFormat = _dateFormat;
            response.Write(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Data, isoConvert));
        }
    }
}

y luego en el controller la usas así:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index() {
    return new CustomJsonResult { Data = new { fecha = DateTime.Now } };
}
