Calabasas (Spanish for "Pumpkins") is an affluent city in Los Angeles County, California located in the hills west of the San Fernando Valley and in the northwest Santa Monica Mountains between Woodland Hills, Agoura Hills, West Hills, Hidden Hills, and Malibu, California.
Indians, explorers, squatters, and bandits are all part of Calabasas history. The Chumash Indians led a peaceful life amidst the rolling hills, making their homes in canyons where streams and springs ensured a plentiful supply of wildlife.
Acorns from the massive old oak trees that thrive in the area formed an important part of their diet. Some of the oaks in Calabasas may be 500-700 years-old today.
Settlements of Chumash Indians named the area Calabasas, a word perhaps descended from the Indian word for "where the wild geese fly." Others think Calabasas comes from the Spanish word for pumpkin or wild gourd.
Spanish expeditions in the 1700's forever changed the Indians' way of life. The Diary of Miguel Costanso, which documents the Portola expeditions in 1769-1770, refers to encounters with the Chumash in the area. Six years later, the Juan de Anza party camped just west of Calabasas.
El Scorpion, or El Escorpion, a ranch that once occupied a large tract in the west Valley, was granted to three Indians in Calabasas in the 1830's. About 25 years later, Miguel Leonis, the Basque "King of Calabasas" acquired the ranch and 1100 acres by his marriage to Espiritu, an Indian who had inherited the property from her father.
Leonis was often in trouble with the law, hiring gunmen to expand his lands, bribing witnesses and threatening nearby settlers. He was killed in 1889 when he fell from his wagon after removing a band of squatters from his property. Squatter wars and gun fights were a bloody part of Calabasas history. "Inhabitants killed each other off so steadily that a human face is a rarity," wrote Horace Bell in his book on the old west coast.
When large ranches were divided into farms in the late 1800's, families of settlers struggled against poverty and drought. In her book, "Calabasas Girls," Catherine Mulholland brings the era to life with photographs and letters of her ancestors, the Ijams. When water and power came to Owensmouth (Canoga Park), they were happy to leave the difficult life of Calabasas pioneers.
After the turn of the century, several select spots in the Calabasas area developed into weekend respites from the city. Crater Camp in Monte Nido was opened in 1914 as a year-round picnic ground. There are few reminders of the camp today on the site of Malibu Meadows.
The Stunt family developed a homestead on the north slope of Saddle Peak, also in the Monte Nido area. A favorite spot for filming motion pictures, the scenery was ideal for Hollywood. Scenes from such films as Tarzan, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and Stalag 17 were shot in this area, today known as Malibu Creek State Park. Circa 1863, an adobe which was built near the park by a settler named Sepulveda for his wife and 12 children, is now in the process of restoration.
On the north side of Calabasas Road is L.A. Historical Cultural Monument Number One, the Leonis Adobe. When Leonis renovated it in the 1870's, he enlarged it extensively and remodeled it into a Monterey-style house. He and Espiritu made it their home. The recent history of the adobe is one of struggles to save both it and its grounds from destruction. In the 1960's, the threat of razing the adobe to build a supermarket led Kathleen Beachy to purchase the property. Toady, it is a superb monument to a bygone era, with meticulously maintained furnishings and grounds, and serves as an anchor for Old Town Calabasas.
Around 1983, the Plummer House, once the oldest home in West Hollywood, was moved next to the Leonis property. As a young boy, Senor Plummer had visited his neighbors in the Leonis Adobe. The building has been beautifully restored and both the adobe and Plummer House are open for tours.
What is now the Sagebrush Cantina was originally a group of small stores built by Lester Agoure, Sr. in the early 1920's. The parking lot once was the local jail. Outside was the famous hanging tree, dead, but still standing today. It is the identifying logo of the Calabasas Chamber of Commerce.
Lack of water in the Calabasas area was always a major concern. With the founding of the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District in 1958, a water supply was assured, and the area began its development boom.
The first subdivision in Calabasas, called Park Moderne (in Mulwood near Calabasas High School), was a retreat for artists, craftsmen, and writers. It was built on land traded off as part of Sam Cooper Jr.'s homestead in 1928.
The first Calabasas high school was built in 1880 on the south side of Calabasas Road. A second school, built on the same site in 1924-1925, was a one-teacher school for the area until 1948, when it joined with Liberty, Cornell, and Las Virgenes to form the Las Virgenes Unified School District. The former Pelican's Retreat retains a small portion of the second school building.
A walk on Calabasas Road in the historic Old Town, takes one past several old buildings. The first, west of the Motion Picture Home, was originally a two-story pioneer store and dwelling owned by Charles and Alice Cooper. Called "Hunter's Inn," it provided rooms for hunters and travelers. After Charles died, his widow married Lawrence Kramer and together they operated a store until his retiring in 1968.
The next building, walking west, is a rebuilt replica of a garage built in 1921 and owned by the Daic brothers. Operated by Joseph, Charles, and Al Daic, descendants of homesteaders, it was originally a two-pump station. It became a popular movie backdrop in the early 1980's. The Daic brothers built a smaller building next door to the garage, where Gaetano's is now located. A Touch of Class was the residence of Theresa Thilmony, an early beloved school teacher.
The Leonis Plaza was at one time the site of many small buildings constructed in the 1920's. They were shops for artisans, and one was the home of the Las Virgenes Enterprise. This had formerly been a blacksmith shop belonging to Juan Menendez, the son of Espiritu.
Information on the history of Calabasas area is available at the Calabasas Library.

She seems like a normal third grader who loves Legos, talking on the phone, texting her friends and even math in school. But Sami Bray of Cordova is most at home on the stage.
This year, there were more than 200 submissions for the U.S. Open Anthem Auditions. Bray was one of 60 children selected for the in-person callback held in New York City.
After originally sending in an audition tape, the family made the 32-hour round trip drive from Memphis to New York City for the callback. Her mother, Dana Bray, was surprised to hear that her 8-year-old daughter was chosen.
The Grahamwood Elementary School student is no stranger to the local stage and has been doing theater with her older sister ever since. Sami has been in many local productions, including "Charlotte's Web" with the Germantown Community Theatre, "Annie Jr." with Stage Door Productions, and "The Little Mermaid" with New Day Children's Theatre, where she played Flounder.
Sami is also playing Cindy Lou Who for the second year in a row in "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical" in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry House. It's a role she really enjoys, and she has the size and the voice for it.
Sami, who said tap dancing is her favorite kind of dance, is looking to put all of these skills to work when she grows up.

Gone are the days when one had to flip through a glossy magazine to get an insight into the world of fashion and food. Today, you can simply scroll the net and checkout some blogs.
Blogging has grown and so has the concept of social media influencers. It is a form of expression for some, and others have found a way to make a living out of it. These people go out to store openings or restaurant launch events, get access to fashion shows and early taste sessions. Not just that, they even get brand endorsements based on their number of followers. Blogging has turned into a serious business.
Chandigarh is slowly but gradually making a mark on the blogging scene with some of its bloggers attracting an enviable number of followers. Subject matter expertise, combined with passion and an efficiently planned social media presence, is taking these bloggers places.
We ask some city bloggers what gets them going.

Retailers to stop using on-call scheduling
By Michelle Doeden
Photo Courtesy: Mall of America
(KMSP) - Six major retailers announced they will stop using on-call scheduling in their stores across the nation, affecting about 50,000 workers.
The stores include Aeropostale, PacSun, Walt Disney Co., Carter's, David's Tea and Zumiez, according to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. All of these stores can be found at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.
All stores except for PacSun and Aeropostale agreed to give employees their work schedules at least one week in advance.
The move comes after a probe into 15 companies that used the practice, in which employees "are given little notice on whether they are required to show up for work or stay at home without pay," according to the release.
Schneiderman's office sent letters to American Eagle, Aeropostale, Payless, Disney, Coach, PacSun, Forever 21, Vans, Justice Just for Girls, BCBG Maxazria, Tilly's, Inc., David's Tea, Zumiez, Uniqlo and Carter's. Nine of these companies responded that they did not use the practice of on-call scheduling or had recently ended it.
Back in 2015, New York kicked off a probe into 11 retailers, and shortly after, the following retailers ended the practice: L Brands (which includes Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret), Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap, Urban Outfitters, J. Crew and Pier 1.

Can boys get pregnant?
Yes, it's possible for men to become pregnant and give birth to children of their own.
Keeping this in consideration, What is a stone baby?
A lithopedion – also spelled lithopaedion or lithopædion – (Ancient Greek: λίθος = stone; Ancient Greek: παιδίον = small child, infant), or stone baby, is a rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly when a fetus dies during an abdominal pregnancy, is too large to be reabsorbed by the body, and calcifies on the outside …
Secondly Can a girl get a girl pregnant? The short answer to this question is no, not through sexual intercourse. Two cisgender women (meaning assigned female at birth) in a relationship cannot become pregnant without some form of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The reasoning goes back to basic biology and how an embryo is formed.
How can I get twins?
Twins can occur either when two separate eggs become fertilized in the womb or when a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos. Having twins is more common now than it was in the past. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , twin births have nearly doubled over the last 40 years.

Very visible contractions, with your uterus rising noticeably with each. An increase in bloody show. A tingling, stretching, burning or stinging sensation at the vagina as your baby's head emerges. A slippery wet feeling as your baby emerge.
The longest human pregnancy on record
The person most widely accepted to hold this title is Beulah Hunter, who, in 1945, at the age of 25, gave birth after 375 days of being pregnant. Yes, you read that correctly: 375 days as opposed to the average of 280 days.
The same thing goes for body rubbing: It can't cause pregnancy unless partners have their clothes off and ejaculate or pre-ejaculate gets in the vagina or on the vulva. Oral sex can't cause pregnancy, regardless of which partner is giving or receiving it.
As long as the ejaculate wasn't inside your body or on your vagina, you can't get pregnant. Ejaculate on the outside of your body isn't a pregnancy risk. But if your partner ejaculates near your vagina and then fingers you, they may push some of the semen into your vagina.
Some pregnancy symptoms can begin a just few days after conception, even before a positive pregnancy test, which may include: Spotting or cramping: According to the American Pregnancy Association (APA), spotting and cramping may occur 6-12 days after sexual intercourse.
Although there can appear to be a pattern in some families of this happening, the odds of having identical twins is the same for every woman. Eating a diet which is high in dairy foods, milk and meat is said to help, especially at the time of ovulation.
While it's extremely unlikely, the simple answer is yes. Women are not able to conceive whilst on their period, but sperm survives within the female reproductive system for up to five days. This means that a tiny fraction of women do have a small chance of becoming pregnant from unprotected sex during their period.
How to get pregnant: Step-by-step instructions
Record menstrual cycle frequency. …
Monitor ovulation. …
Have sex every other day during the fertile window. …
Strive for a healthy body weight. …
Take a prenatal vitamin. …
Eat healthy foods. …
Cut back on strenuous workouts. …
Be aware of age-related fertility declines.
In addition to pain, women made to resist the urge to push may experience other complications. Delayed pushing sometimes causes labor to last longer, puts women at higher risk of postpartum bleeding and infection, and puts babies at a higher risk of developing sepsis, according to a study released last year.
Most women are able to use the bathroom during labor — to urinate and to have a bowel movement. Your health care provider will probably encourage you to do so because it's possible that a full bladder might slow down your baby's descent.
There were 35 cases of bone injuries giving an incidence of 1 per 1,000 live births. Clavicle was the commonest bone fractured (45.7%) followed by humerus (20%), femur (14.3%) and depressed skull fracture (11.4%) in the order of frequency.
The baby's condition, known as fetus-in-fetu, is incredibly rare, occurring in only about 1 in every 500,000 births. It's not clear exactly why it happens. "Weird things happen early, early in the pregnancy that we just don't understand," said Dr.
One study estimated a woman can have around 15 pregnancies in a lifetime. And depending on how many babies she births for each pregnancy, she'd probably have around 15-30 children. But the "most prolific mother ever," according to Guinness World Records, was Mrs. Feodor Vassilyev in 19th century Russia.
Quintuplets occur naturally in 1 in 55,000,000 births. The first quintuplets known to survive infancy were the identical female Canadian Dionne Quintuplets, born in 1934. Quintuplets are sometimes referred to as "quins" in the UK and "quints" in North America.
Yes. You can get pregnant from the pull-out method. The pull-out method, also called withdrawal — or coitus interruptus if you wanna get fancy — involves pulling the penis out of the vagina before ejaculation.
Is it Safe to Swallow Semen? The ingredients that make up semen are safe. Some people have had severe allergic reactions to it, but this is very rare. The biggest risk when swallowing semen is getting a sexually transmitted infection.
Other than a missed period, pregnancy symptoms tend to really kick in around week five or six of pregnancy; 60% of women experience some signs or symptoms of pregnancy as early as five or six weeks after the last menstrual period. 1 Symptoms tend to develop abruptly.
Along with cramping, you may experience what is called implantation bleeding or spotting. This usually happens 10 to 14 days after conception, around the time of your usual period. Implantation bleeding is usually much lighter than your regular menstrual period bleeding.
Race. African-American women are more likely to have twins than any other race. Asian Americans and Native Americans have the lowest twinning rates. White women, especially those older than 35, have the highest rate of higher-order multiple births (triplets or more).
It's rare for IVF patients to bluntly request twins, and few ask for triplets or more, but many mention a desire for twins, IVF doctors tell WebMD. That happens "all the time," says Mark Perloe, MD, medical director of Georgia Reproductive Specialists in Atlanta.
This method recommends:
increasing intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.
increasing intake of foods that contain potassium, such as bananas, salmon, avocados.
increasing foods with high alkalinity, such as citrus fruits, root vegetables, nuts.
avoiding dairy products.

Q: How to catch HttpAntiForgeryException in ASP.NET MVC I'm using the AntiForgeryToken in my ASP.NET MVC forms. If I deactivate cookies in my browser and send the from, I'd get following error message:
A required anti-forgery token was not supplied or was invalid.
How can I prevent this message from showing? I would prefer redirecting the user to another page.
I've activated customErrors and included this HandleError in my controller:
[HandleError(ExceptionType=typeof(HttpAntiForgeryException), View="Index")]
public class MyController : Controller
{
...
}

The HandleError is ignored.
Has anyone got a solution?

A: It works fine for me :)
I notice you've specified the error view as "Index" - is it possible there's an error in this view that only shows up in this error situation? HandleErrorAttribute will be displaying this "Index" view without executing the action itself - if your Index action method is setting objects in ViewData that the View relies on to work, then the error won't be handled properly and you'll get the ugly yelllow page.
If that doesn't fix it, have you tested error handling on other errors to make it works? Some things that can cause errors to not be handled:

*

*Custom errors aren't on in your web.config

*An error in your view

*An error in the master page that the view uses.

A: I think the point of the anti-forgery token is to just deter requests made on behalf of an authenticated user by another website. So if you can legitimately access the form without cookies, that means you can access it without being authenticated so there shouldn't be any need to protect it from CSRF attacks.
I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong though.

Mother's Day is always a difficult one to choose a present for. I adore my Mum, her help with everything is immeasurable: from cooking guidance, to child raising advise and relationship help. Buying a present which shows how much I love her would be impossible.
Boots have a selection of suggested presents, everything from face creams or bubble baths, to perfumes or manicure sets, click here for their website here. I particularly like their personalised photo gifts, a cushion, mug or wall canvas might be perfect for your Mum, click here for link.
A bouquet of flowers is always a lovely idea for Mum, we use Prestige and fully recommend their service and they are well priced too. Take a look at our review and video here.
If you would like flowers but maybe something a bit more long living, how about this silver plated red rose ornament for only £14.25 I absolutely love it!
In fact there is a whole heap of lovely ideas here: click for link, most of which are actually under £20 and really really beautiful!
If you are thinking chocolates for Mum, then I always say go with Thorntons: classy and well known for their quality without breaking the bank.
If your Mum is a tea lover then how about a selection box from Twinings? I have the favourite teas and the fruit tea variety and absolutely love them all and at £10 a box they are very well priced! If you wanted something a bit more special they do them in beautiful wooden boxes or you can get hampers, but those are of course more expensive.
You may remember I did a video on ways to wear a pashmina? The pashmina I used was kindly supplied by Accessory Insanity, it was an amazing quality Pashmina and they have a huge selection of colours from which you could pick the perfect colour way for Mum. They also have some stunningly beautiful bags/purses or jewellery which would make any Mum so happy.
While we are talking jewellery, if you want something top quality and beyond beautiful for Mum check out up-coming jewellery designer Georgina Zupnik. Her designs are a bit different but I love them all.
I hope this has given you some ideas for what Mum might like. I am a Mummy myself and would love to receive any of these.

Amanda Lynch to deliver Presidential Faculty Award Lecture
Lynch, a climate scientist who is active in environmental policy research, will discuss the implications of the rapidly advancing Anthropocene and the intersection of environmental policy and human rights.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Amanda Lynch, director of the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society (IBES) and a professor of Earth, environmental and planetary sciences, will deliver a Presidential Faculty Award lecture on Monday, Nov. 5. Her talk will be based on her newly released book "Urgency in the Anthropocene."
Trained as a climate scientist, Lynch began her career focusing on polar climate modeling and developed the first Arctic regional climate model in 1993. She now also studies the ways in which indigenous populations and local communities understand and adapt to climate change. Her book, co-authored with Siri Veland, explores the ways in which the framing of the Anthropocene is influencing climate policy and governance.
The term Anthropocene is used to describe a geological epoch in which humans are the dominant force shaping the Earth and its environment. Human contributions to climate change, mass deforestation and the accelerated extinction are cited as evidence that the planet has entered this new epoch. In their book, Lynch and Veland argue that framing the Anthropocene in terms of impending disaster — storms, droughts and ecological collapse — is driving some to advocate for unwise and potentially dangerous environmental policy interventions.
For example, Lynch cites a growing view that democratic governments are ill-suited to enact adequate and timely environmental regulations. Some environmental activists cite China's apparent success in converting to renewable energy sources, while western democracies have fallen behind.
"China was able to do those things quickly because they're a centralized, totalitarian regime," said Lynch, who also notes that some of that apparent success may be illusory. "A lot of environmentalists are starting to think that democracy is broken and that maybe totalitarianism is what it takes. Siri and I believe that's a very dangerous way of thinking. There's no point in saving the planet if we're doing it in a way that fundamentally violates human rights."
In order to help steer away from this kind of knee-jerk decision-making, Lynch and Veland propose reframing the Anthropocene. Rather than viewing it as a race against impending doom, they propose viewing it as an opportunity to develop a new sense of coexistence between humans across the political spectrum and with a changing planet.
"Our argument is that we need to consider human rights as being an integral part of environmental policy," Lynch said. "We suggest that thinking about sustainability and human dignity together is really the only way we're going to be able to move forward."
The Presidential Faculty Award lecture takes place on Monday, Nov. 5, at 4:30 p.m. in the John Carter Brown Library. The event is free and open to the public.
The Presidential Faculty Award was established in 2013 by Brown University President Christina Paxson to recognize members of the faculty who are conducting especially important and innovative scholarship and to create an opportunity for recipients to present their work to colleagues in other disciplines. Two recipients are selected for the academic year, one for each semester. Previous recipients include C.D. Wright, Charles Larmore, David Berson, Nitsan Chorev, David Kertzer, Jill Pipher, Jesse Shapiro, Bonnie Honig and Anthony Bogues.

This Ex-NZ Government limo was sold by Turners back in 2011. Then, with 90,000kms on the clock, it sold for around $40k. Today, having covered only a few more kilometres, it could be yours for $14,990. Long gone is the lingering odour of Peter Dunne's hairspray or Judith Collins's perfume but the history remains and it could all be yours.
Do you consider yourself a VIP? Do you prefer to ride in the back seat while being driven to work by someone wearing a suit and cap? Or are you a retired Government minister missing the soft leather of the Crown limo? Well you need this Ex-government BMW 730Ld limousine. Whether it was used to deliver John Key to a function, Steven Joyce to a crisis meeting or Peter Dunne to the hairdresser, it is still a car worthy of the job today. Are you a worthy passenger?
During its time in the service of our country (2008 – 2011) this big Beemer was meticulously maintained and always kept clean. Since its retirement from Crown duties it appears to have been kept as a limo should be. Servicing is bang up to date and the overall condition looks to be as good as when it first went into service. As you would imagine it's loaded with all the fruit you'd expect of a Govt limo. There's electric memory seats, sat nav (ministers couldn't afford to get lost), rear sun blind (with the press holding their feet to flames the last thing a minister needed was their head getting blasted by the sun) and front and rear parking sensors.
With just 131,000kms on the clock, a rich history on the fringes of NZ politics and that all important 3 litre diesel engine, the price tag of $14990 seems almost too cheap. More details here.

Slain Chicago officer awarded Medal of Valor
By Staff and Wire reports

WASHINGTON — The mother and fiancee of Chicago police Officer Clifton Lewis, killed at an Austin convenience store in late 2011, accepted the Law Enforcement Medal of Valor on his behalf in a White House ceremony Wednesday.
Vice President Joe Biden draped the purple- and yellow-striped ribbons around the necks of 20 public safety officers, and presented medals to the families of two officers killed while responding to armed robberies. The two were off-duty at the time.
"You're a rare breed," Biden said. "You're all crazy. We love you for it. We need you. You are the best thing we have going for us."
The Medal of Valor is the nation's highest honor for public safety officers who risk their own safety to save or protect others. This year's ceremony honored individuals who committed acts of valor between 2011 and 2013. A total of 95 medals have been handed out since Congress created the award in 2001.
On Wednesday, Maxine Hooks, Lewis' mother, and Latrice Tucker, his fiancee, were at the White House to accept the medal on his behalf.
Lewis, who worked as a tactical officer in the Austin Police District, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Valor on Wednesday by Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder.
The medal is awarded to police officers "who have exhibited exceptional courage, regardless of personal safety, in the attempt to save or protect human life," according to a news release from the Chicago Police Department.
Lewis was killed Dec. 29, 2011, while working off-duty as a security guard at M&M Foods, 1201 N. Austin Blvd., when he was shot by two armed and masked gunmen who robbed the store.
During the holdup, Lewis announced he was an officer and moved to shield other employees from gunfire as he drew his weapon, police have said. Lewis was shot four times and died of his wounds.
Three men are awaiting trial in the slaying.
Lewis took the part-time job at the store after it was robbed about three weeks earlier.
Chicago police declared that because Lewis had opened fire at the suspects, he had died in the line of duty, allowing him a funeral service and honors. He had become engaged Christmas Day, four days before his death.
The medal, in addition to Wednesday's other award recipients, has been presented to police officers since 2003.
Also honored were Lt. Brian Murphy and Officer Savan Lenda of the Oak Creek (Wis.) Police Department, who responded to a shooting that left a gunman and six other people dead at a Sikh temple in August 2012
Among others honored were seven officers and firefighters from Watertown, Mass., for their actions following the Boston Marathon bombings.
Despite heavy gunfire and reports the brothers were throwing explosives, officers and firefighters who responded helped protect the lives of those in uniform, the White House said. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died as a result of the incident; Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was apprehended 20 hours later.
Holder said this year's medals were particularly poignant, given that the country is struggling with "deep challenges" in the relationship between law enforcement agencies and their communities.
"Beyond these honors, America owes you a debt that must be repaid not just with words but with actions," Holder said.
Also receiving the medal:
• Five special agents from the FBI's Alabama-based hostage rescue team, who rescued a 5-year-old abducted from a school bus in 2013.
• Sgt. Daniel Hutchinson, Weber County, Utah, who was shot three times but still rescued two fellow sheriff's deputies in a shooting.
• Officer Michael Keith, Knoxville, Tenn., who used his shirt to beat back flames from a car, then pulled a state trooper to safety just before the vehicle exploded.
• Former fire Chief John Curly, Bellmore, N.Y., who broke a burning building's window with his bare hands to rescue an unconscious woman inside.
• Special Agent John Francis Capano, New York, who was killed while confronting a suspect during an attempted robbery.
• Sgt. Bradley Alan Wick, Duluth, Minn., Police Department, who shot and killed a convicted felon after an armed robbery and car chase.
• Sgt. Michael Darrell Brown, Brevard County, Fla., who helped save a woman whose estranged boyfriend was attempting to stab her to death.
• Deputy Jenna Underwood-Nunez, Los Angeles, who was five months pregnant and off-duty when she rescued a teenager from drowning at the bottom of a muddy lake.

Ernst Barlach (Wedel, Pinneberg, 2 januari 1870 - Rostock, 24 oktober 1938) was een Duitse expressionistische beeldhouwer en schrijver.

Biografie
Barlach volgde een opleiding tot kunstschilder en beeldhouwer aan de kunstacademie in Dresden bij Robert Dietz. Hij vervolgde zijn studie aan de Académie Julian in Parijs en kreeg in 1909 een beurs voor een verblijf in de Villa Romana in Florence. Vanaf 1897 was Barlach als vrij kunstenaar werkzaam. Hij trok zich in 1901 terug in zijn geboortestad Wedel. In 1906 bezocht hij Rusland om inspiratie op te doen en in 1910 verhuisde hij naar Güstrow in Mecklenburg, waar hij een atelier/woonhuis liet bouwen aan de Inselsee. Hij schiep hier zijn belangrijkste werken.

Barlach maakte diverse herdenkings- en oorlogsmonumenten: in 1922 Schmerzensmutter in Kiel; in 1929 Der Schwebende in de kathedraal van Güstrow; in 1928 Der Geistkämpfer in Kiel; in 1929 het Magdeburger Ehrenmal in de dom van Maagdenburg en in 1931 het Hamburger Ehrenmal.

In 1934 behoorde Barlach tot de kunstenaars die de zogenaamde Aufruf der Kulturschaffenden van de NSDAP heeft ondertekend. Dit voorkwam niet dat tegen Barlach een lasterkampagne werd gevoerd, hetgeen uiteindelijk leidde tot de vernieling of verwijdering van diverse monumenten (enkele werken zijn in 1945 vervangen of herplaatst). In 1937 kreeg hij een expositieverbod opgelegd door de Reichskammer der Bildenden Künste. Zijn kunstuitingen werden door het naziregime beschouwd als Entartete Kunst. Meer dan 400 werken werden als zodanig uit openbare collecties verwijderd.

Barlach overleed in 1938 op 68-jarige leeftijd in een kliniek in Rostock aan de gevolgen van een hartaanval en werd begraven in Ratzeburg. Postuum werd zijn werk getoond op de documenta 1 (1955) en III (1964).

Barlach zijn beeldhouwwerken zijn gemaakt uit hout en zijn zeer vereenvoudigd, statisch en compact.

How They Fought--and Won
By John Lehman
At a time when the ignorance of history is a common source of despair, there is cause for hope. A resurgence of literature, neither dry scholarship nor pop journalism but history boldly told and elegantly written, is producing bestseller after bestseller. Stephen E. Ambrose has led this revival with nearly a score of page-turners, most recently "D-Day" and "Undaunted Courage." His "Citizen Soldiers " (Simon & Schuster, 512 pages, $27.50) takes up where "D-Day" left off. It is a gripping sequel. While describing the grand march of armies, he focuses on individuals and their stories: riflemen, flyers, nurses, sad-sacks and heroes.
From the hedgerows of Normandy to the final overrunning of Germany, Mr. Ambrose gives the reader a comprehensive understanding of what happened--the intrigues, tragedies and misjudgments of all participants. He relies on oral histories and written sources, and on his own interviews with participants of every rank, in both the German and Allied armies, a dimension that adds considerably to the book's readability and the authority of Mr. Ambrose's judgments.
For instance, he challenges the accepted view of Montgomery's timidity in the disastrous "Operation Goodwood," the July 1944 offensive in Normandy that attempted to break through German defenses. Mr. Ambrose writes: "I've gone over the field of Goodwood with Colonel Hans von Luck [who was] in the center of the action, commanding the 121st Panzer Regiment." Consistent with the German's view, he concludes that the problem was "not a lack of commitment by the British, and certainly not a lack of courage." It was instead bad tactics and bad planning.
It has been current among some West Pointers and many British historians to disparage the fighting effectiveness of U.S. conscript soldiers in Europe, especially compared with their German counterparts. Evidence suggests that the opposite is true. "In the face of conditions scarcely equaled anywhere from fear, degradation, and misery, the great majority of front line soldiers [in the U.S. Army in Europe] stayed in the line and did their duty, and prevailed."
Mr. Ambrose dismantles some other myths--e.g., of German superiority in staff work, technology and communications. In each of these, the U.S. Army excelled all others in 1944-45. While the Germans had some superior weapons, like the 88mm cannon and the Tiger tank, the reliability of the mass-produced American weapons like the M-1 rifle and Sherman tank was a huge advantage.

Todays vehicle is the T-44-100 Tier VIII Premium Russian medium Tank. For The EU shop we have the by noow usual 2 bundles. For the NA shop we have the same bundles.
Is it worth of getting this one?
It's nice tank, and it's even better when the buffed the armor.
yes it does, i played like 700 battles in it. outstandingly good tank, you just need to play like the tier 10 Soviet mediums.
This tank can perform very well in ideal conditions, but to do reasonably well in an average game be prepared to spend credits. The low 190 base pen demands premium shell spamming and the armor is unreliable.
I would not recommend it as a fun crew trainer/ credit maker.. nah.
Let we guess… tomorrow news will be advent calendar day 12…..
A short info about the daily mission would be more appreciated than the pay-to-win tanks.
and 60 € for the other one.
Got this one for free during the event, i wouldnt buy it. It is a decent tank for above average player. I'd say.. not newbie friendly in the sense you need good map awareness, tank/gun control,combined with a trained crew with 3+ skills to make this work well.
If i'd buy a prem medium, i'd probably lean on the Swedish Primo Victoria. Strnk turret, decent mobility, good gun handling, great penetration for its tier etc. reasonably forgiving on mistakes. Because it has good base pen, you make more credits with less premium shell spamming.
Since currently there's no swedish medium line, you cannot train your crew for your tanks (unless you count low tier) Given the swedish tanks are quite popular, i hope WG will give it its own medium line in the coming year or two.. who knows.
If you are deciding on your first premium tank, want to get the most of it.. just grab a good heavy. T34, Lowe are solid choices. The newer T26E5, and Defender 252U are even easier to play.


The cigar itself is very boxpressed even after many weeks lying only in the bag. The wrapper is colorado, fine and not as shiny as it seems in the pictures. The cold smell, which is very decent reminds a little bit of hazelnut.
After lighting up I had to check if it really burns the first puffs showed nearly no taste. After a time a light sweetness came up.... something reminding me of Cremé Brûlee and licorice.
The second third continued with the sweetness which was now more on the honeyside... hints of wood and some bloomy notes appeared.
During the last third the sweetness of honey fainted away, roasted aromas could be found, in the very end it became some kinda nutty.

Iowa State Fair Tells Trump and His Gold-Plated Helicopter to 'Get Lost'...
Kissing babies?
Nah. That's so yesterday!
For Donald Trump, it's go big or go home... in his personal helicopter. Yes, Donald Trump has declared in a recent interview that he planned to give the kiddies rides in the Trumpcopter at the Iowa State fair.
Nothing like relating to the little people... or should it be buying their votes?
I mean, who wouldn't want a ride in a Trump chopper? There's so much to see at 5,000 feet above Iowa farmlands. The corn, the wheat, corn - oh, my!
And yes, this Trump machine is the very same one used in the introduction of The Apprentice. Very cool. This would be a legit Trump copter ride, for free, for the children of Iowa voters.
Yes, free. As long as you're wearing a Trump-esque "Make America Great Again" hat. (No word yet on whether a comb-over is also required.)
If only Walker, or Bush, or Rand, or Marco, or Fiorina, et. al. could compete...
As the Daily Mail reported,
'I have three helicopters,' Trump boasted on Wednesday. 'Did you know that?'
'I have one at Turnberry, one at Doral, and one in New York City.'
It's the New York chopper that would make the two-hop, 1,000-mile trip to Iowa. Trump would take his Boeing 757 jet and meet up with his crew in the Hawkeye State.
Aside from the obvious media value of such a spectacle – 'It'll be magnificent,' Trump mused – the unlikeliest of Republican front-runners grinned broadly when he imagined the scene near Des Moines.
'We're asking approval,' he said, nearly hopping out of his chair. 'We're really doing it! Because I would love to take some of the young kids – you know, put 10 kids into the helicopter and let 'em go up and down.'
The chopper itself was outfitted and decorated by designer Eric Roth at a cost rumored to be $750,000 – after the purchase of the aircraft itself.
Children who manage to clamber aboard will sink into cream-colored Italian-leather seating, sip Trump-brand ice water and secure themselves with 18-karat gold plated seat belt buckles.
The Donald said of the whole concept: 'It's cool. Isn't it cool?'
Yes, Mr. Trump. We admit that it's cool. We commend you for being the king of cool in the GOP field. But we don't need a cool President (been there, done that). We need a President who has a backbone and a plan... and as of today, your website doesn't even include an 'issues' page - but there is a "donate" tab and a very, very long "About Me". Thing is, this really isn't about you. So how about a little more substance to go along with the cool? We're not opposed to you... we're just opposed to the fact that you haven't offered any viable solutions/policies as of yet. Start delivering those, and we'll take a serious look at you.
Also... the Iowa State fair said no. *gasp* Is there someone actually more powerful than the grandiose Trumpness? I mean, this couldn't possibly be about liability or the Donald distracting from the prize cows, could it? Nah. They must be in the bag for Bush. That's the ticket.
Stand by for the Donald to sue. Or fire someone. Or just berate them on social media for being "nobodies". Because that's how he plans to govern, folks. Problem is... some things in life just don't work that way.

Why is Seiko Exiting Baselworld?
By Sumit Nag
The reality of it is that as Seiko departs from Baselworld the casualty count is not one, but two. Seiko's exit from Baselworld 2020 means that Seiko itself and Grand Seiko as well are no longer going to be part of the Switzerland-based watch fair.
As word of the development spread last weekend, a spokesperson representing both brands shared with Revolution saying, "The timing of Baselworld 2020 is considerably later than in previous years. The new date is too late for the launch of our Seiko collection and is particularly challenging for Grand Seiko for which we have a special program in celebration of the 60th anniversary of its creation. As a result, we have decided that our two brands will not be present at Baselworld in 2020."
Seiko and Grand Seiko's exit from Baselworld comes in the wake of the already departed Swatch Group, Raymond Weil, Corum and, most recently, Breitling who have said that they are only out for 2020.
The Swatch Group has already taken on their own show, called Time to Move, which saw retailers earlier in the year in Geneva over the course of the days of Baselworld 2019. Following which they had a press and media showing in May for six of their larger brands.
Corum has taken to doing their own regional summits; Breitling, of course, has been holding their Breitling Summit regionally for a while now.
In like fashion, Seiko will be showcasing the year's novelties on their own terms moving forward. Speaking on behalf of the two brands, the above spokesperson shared: "We will hold regional and national events of our own for both Grand Seiko and Seiko at the earliest opportunity so that media representatives and our retail partners can see our new collections and experience the latest developments in the Seiko and Grand Seiko worlds."
The other Japanese brands who showcase at Baselworld, namely, Casio and Citizen have made no remark on how much longer they will be a part of the Swiss fair for now.

I think that is one of the tvn strategy to call out viewers to watch the drama. Like the ep 4 photo teasers, I thought Ryan already fall for her and sneakily hug and sleep beside her in the sleeping scene. So yeah. I would say tvn made right move for releasing the photos as teaser. I'm one of those who get fool easily lol.


Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine that dates back thousands of years. It involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles, into specific locations on the body called acupoints.
These acupoints are distributed throughout the body in a type of 'road map' where the roads are referred to as meridian pathways. The bodies energy, blood, and life force, travel through these meridian pathways providing nourishment and life to all tissues and organs in the body.
When the body experiences pain, tension, or illness, it is the result of a blockage to the proper qi and blood circulation. By redirecting the flow of qi and blood, acupuncture essentially stimulates the body to heal itself.
Acupuncture increases blood circulation to the exact point on the body that the needle is inserted. This increased blood flow helps alleviate inflammation, relax muscles, heal injury, and relieve pain.
Acupuncture is a natural, safe and effective treatment modality for many health conditions. From pain management, migraines and stress, to internal disorders such as insomnia, depression, weight loss and fertility, acupuncture works!
See Q and A section of this site for a detailed list of conditions commonly treated with acupuncture.

Е. Берне́т (псевдоним, настоящее имя Александр (Алексей) Кири́ллович Жуко́вский; 1810—1864) — русский поэт и прозаик.

Биография
Происходил из дворянского рода Жуковских. Родился  года в Пензе в небогатой семье беспоместного дворянина, закончившего свою служебную карьеру незначительной должностью секретаря губернского суда в Царицыне. Мать — Елизавета Ивановна, урождённая Тутчек. Начальное образование Жуковский получил в уездном царицынском училище, затем, когда семья переехала в Саратов, был определён в местную гимназию, которую посещал в течение 1822—1827 годов. Не окончив гимназического курса, поступил в 1827 году в конную артиллерию фейерверкером. Участвовал в турецкой кампании 1828-1829 гг. и в подавлении польского восстания. В отставку вышел в апреле 1836 года в чине ротмистра. Поселился в Петербурге, где в 1837 году поступил на службу в департамент государственного казначейства, секретарём секретной комиссии. Через своего сослуживца, поэта В. Г. Бенедиктова, Жуковский вошёл в литературные круги столицы.

Публиковаться начал в 1837 году, в «Современнике», «Литературных прибавлениях к Русскому инвалиду» и «Библиотеке для чтения». Дебют Бернета был удачен, издатель «Библиотеки» Сенковский поспешил произвести его в гении, даже Белинский назвал поэзию Бернета «благоухающей ароматным цветом прекрасной внутренней жизни». По оценке словаря Брокгауза и Ефрона, «эта поэзия — бледный романтизм, облечённый в красивые, но холодные стихи, с правильными, но утомительными, незвучными приёмами. Основной недостаток Жуковского — его многословие, в котором расплывались действительно поэтические образы». По оценке А. С. Немзера, Бернет — «ярко выраженный романтик послепушкинского периода», ориентирующийся на стиль Гюго, его «лиризм создаёт впечатление незавершённости текста», а к 1843 обозначилась «внутренняя исчерпанность несомненного дарования».

Слава Бернета-Жуковского жила недолго: он спустился из толстых журналов в альманахи и журнальчики, избегая подписываться даже своим нашумевшим псевдонимом. Бернет написал очень много больших поэм («Перля, дочь банкира Мостиеха», «Чужая невеста», «Луиза Лавальер», «Граф Мец», «Елена», «Вечный Жид» и другие) и стихотворений (отдельное издание, , 1837). Писал также и повести в прозе. Его попытка вернуться в литературу в конце 1850-х годов оказалась неудачной; по сведениям некрологов, на его похоронах писателей не было.

В конце жизни был вице-директором департамента государственного казначейства. Умер  года в Санкт-Петербурге. Похоронен на Никольском кладбище Александро-Невской лавры.

Q: Rolling sum in R df <- data.frame(x = seq(1:10))

I want this:
df$y <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 15, 20 , 25, 30, 35)

i.e. each y is the sum of previous five x values. This implies the first
five y will be same as x
What I get is this:
df$y1 <- c(df$x[1:4], RcppRoll::roll_sum(df$x, 5))

  x  y y1
  1  1  1
  2  2  2
  3  3  3
  4  4  4
  5  5 15
  6 15 20
  7 20 25
  8 25 30
  9 30 35
  10 35 40

In summary, I need y but I am only able to achieve y1

A: 1) enhanced sum function Define a function Sum which sums its first 5 values if it receives 6 values and returns the last value otherwise.  Then use it with partial=TRUE in rollapplyr:
Sum <- function(x) if (length(x) < 6) tail(x, 1) else sum(head(x, -1))
rollapplyr(x, 6, Sum, partial = TRUE)
##  [1]  1  2  3  4  5 15 20 25 30 35

2) sum 6 and subtract off original Another possibility is to take the running sum of 6 elements filling in the first 5 elements with NA and subtracting off the original vector.  Finally fill in the first 5.
replace(rollsumr(x, 6, fill = NA) - x, 1:5, head(x, 5))
##  [1]  1  2  3  4  5 15 20 25 30 35

3) specify offsets A third possibility is to use the offset form of width to specify the prior 5 elements:
c(head(x, 5), rollapplyr(x, list(-(1:5)), sum))
## [1]  1  2  3  4  5 15 20 25 30 35

4) alternative specification of offsets  In this alternative we specify an offset of 0 for each of the first 5 elements and offsets of -(1:5) for the rest.
width <- replace(rep(list(-(1:5)), length(x)), 1:5, list(0))
rollapply(x, width, sum)
## [1]  1  2  3  4  5 15 20 25 30 35

Note
The scheme for filling in the first 5 elements seems quite unusual and you might consider using partial sums for the first 5 with NA or 0 for the first one since there are no prior elements fir that one:
rollapplyr(x, list(-(1:5)), sum, partial = TRUE, fill = NA)
## [1] NA  1  3  6 10 15 20 25 30 35

rollapplyr(x, list(-(1:5)), sum, partial = TRUE, fill = 0)
## [1]  0  1  3  6 10 15 20 25 30 35

rollapplyr(x, 6, sum, partial = TRUE) - x
## [1]  0  1  3  6 10 15 20 25 30 35

A: A simple approach would be:
df <- data.frame(x = seq(1:10))
mysum <- function(x, k = 5) {
  res <- rep(NA, length(x))
  for (i in seq_along(x)) {
    if (i <= k) { # edited ;-)
      res[i] <- x[i]
    } else {
      res[i] <- sum(x[(i-k):(i-1)])
    }
  }
  res
}
mysum(df$x)
# [1]  1  2  3  4  5 15 20 25 30 35

A: mysum <- function(x, k = 5) {
  res <- x[1:k]
  append<-sapply(2:(len(x)+1-k),function(i) sum(x[i:(i+k-1)]))
  return(c(res,append))
}
mysum(df$x)


The following questions give brief answers to get you started. Many of the following questions are more fully answered in the "Requirements" section of this website.
Who are the Department Advisors?
Academic advising on economics classes to be taken during junior year and senior year will be done by Professor Smita Brunnermeier. Queries regarding the Political Economy Certificate should be directed to Professor Silvia Weyerbrock and questions about the Finance Certificate should be directed to Professor David Schoenherr. Professor Nobuhiro Kiyotaki will coordinate the senior thesis and Professor Silvia Weyerbrock will coordinate the Junior Independent Work.
Why should I chose the economics major?
There are intellectual reasons as well as bottom-line reasons. Intellectually, economics offers a unique combination of social concerns – study of issues such as employment and growth, inflation, globalization, health, and poverty – and scientific methods – rigorous theoretical and statistical analysis. In bottom-line terms, although Economics at Princeton is regarded and taught as part of a liberal-arts education, not as a preparation for a specific vocation, it does provide an especially relevant background for careers in business and government and graduate study in economics, public policy, business administration, and law. Finally, the economics major is particularly easy to combine with the finance certificate – the core courses of one can be used as departmental electives in the other.
How is the economics department different from other departments?
What are the prerequisites for admission to an economics major?
For the Class of 2015 onwards, the Economics prerequisites are ECO 100 (Microeconomics), 101 (Macroeconomics), and ECO 202 (Statistics and Data Analysis for Economics). You can place out of these if you have 5 grades in AP exams in the respective subjects, or equivalent international qualifications (A on the completed British A-level exam or 7 on the higher level IB exam). At Princeton, ORF 245 (Fundamentals of Engineering Statistics) is the only generally acceptable substitute for ECO 202. MAT 175 is the minimum mathematics requirement. You are only exempt from this pre-requisite if you have already taken an acceptable university level multivariate calculus courses while you were still in high school. You can fulfill our microeconomics and macroeconomics prerequisites with pre-approved summer courses elsewhere; see our memo on Outside Courses for details. The Statistics requirement cannot be satisfied with summer courses taken after the student has begun his/her studies at Princeton, except in unusual circumstances approved by the Departmental Representative.
If you plan to take math-track econometrics (ECO 312), upper level finance certificate courses (such as ECO 462, ECO 465 and ECO 466) or pursue graduate studies in Economics or Finance you should take MAT 201 and 202 instead of MAT 175.
All prerequisite courses must be taken for letter-grade credit, and you must get grades of C or better in each, to qualify for admission to an economics major. All requirements must be met by the end of your second year. You will not be permitted to take any of these courses in your junior year as an economics major.
What are the requirements for completing an economics major?
You must successfully complete  three "core" courses, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics,  at least five electives from the upper-level offerings of the department,  junior independent work and a senior thesis, and  the departmental comprehensive examination given at the end of your senior year. All departmental courses must be taken for grades, not PDF. Each must be passed individually with a grade of D or better, and the average of the grades on the components -, calculated using a weighting scheme posted on the department's website, must be C or better.
The core courses are offered at two levels, called the less-math track (ECO 300, 301, and 302) and the more-math-track (ECO 310, 311, and 312). The latter takes you closer to the research literature in modern economics; this can be an advantage when doing your independent work and thesis. Each year, approximately half of our majors choose each track. You can take some of your core courses in one track and the rest in the other track. Some of our upper-class elective courses have one or more of the more-math-track core courses as prerequisites; others don't.
Up to two of the electives can be substituted by a preapproved "cognate" from another department. Such a course has to be more than merely of interest to you or a useful complement to your economics courses; in such circumstances you can always choose it as a part of your distributional courses. To be a cognate, a course must in addition have a substantial content of theoretical or empirical economic analysis.
What is the usual sequence of courses for the economics major?
Students with stronger backgrounds can follow various accelerated and advanced sequences. For example, many of you have already completed one or more core courses in your sophomore year.
I am planning to be an economics major and spend a semester abroad in my junior year.
How should I prepare for this?
You should have planned well ahead and taken the appropriate core courses of the economics major during your sophomore year. We approve core courses taken elsewhere only in very exceptional circumstances, and only if they are of comparable standards and taken at institutions of comparable quality. We will not allow you to postpone core courses to the senior year. Please see Prof. Smita Brunnermeier as soon possible to discuss your situation.
Can I take courses at any other institutions?
Other than in study-abroad programs taken over the course of a full academic semester or year, economics courses taken at other universities may not be used to fulfill Economics Department requirements. An economics course taken at another university may be pre-approved by the Departmental Representative to serve as an Economics prerequisite, or to remedy a course deficiency in meeting university requirements of re-admission for non-ECO students on leave of absence. Furthermore, we only pre-approve transfer credit for summer courses equivalents of ECO 100 and ECO 101 regardless of whether they are taken domestically or abroad.
Who is available for personal consultation?
Our Undergraduate Program Administrator, Christina Lipsky, should be able to answer most of your questions pertaining to pre-requisites and rules and can direct you to the appropriate faculty or staff for the rest. Her office is in 114 Julis Romo Rabinowitz Bldg, office hours 9 am – 5 pm each business day.
In addition, Prof. Smita Brunnermeier can advise you on course selection, cognates, missing pre-requisites, summer course pre-approval and study abroad. Please sign up for an appointment on https://wass.princeton.edu if you would like to meet with her. Her office is in 228 Julis Romo Rabinowitz Bldg.

Q: View size and owner on folders, within a folder Anyone know how to view all the folders within an directory with size, folder/file, owner?
The only command I know of is du -hs *
But that shows all the subfolders aswell and does not show owner.
For example,
I would like to get the info size, folder/file, owner of the folder/file under "/my/path/".
Any know of command which could provide me with this info?
Br
Hultman

A: Here I've got a simple snippet for you
#!/usr/bin/env bash

unset fname owner size i

for f in "$@"
  do
    fname[i]="$f"
    owner[i]=$(stat -c %U "$f")
    size[i++]=$(stat -c %s "$f")
  done

for i in "${!fname[@]}"
  do
    printf "User %s owns %s and the size is %d Kbytes\n" "${owner[i]}" "${fname[i]}" $((${size[i]} / 1024))
  done

Make the script executable or run it like  bash script_name [path]
chmod u+x script_name

And run it
./script_name /my/path/*

A: You could try the find command:
find /my/path -maxdepth 1 -type d -printf "%u %g   " -exec du -h --max-depth=0 {} \;

should locate all directories (filter -type d) one level below the starting point /my/path (option -maxdepth 1). It will then

*

*use the -printf option to print owner and group, and then

*invoke du --max-depth=0 on each directory found ({}) to print the name and total size directly behind the output of the preceding -printf option, using the -exec mechanism.
