History of the Lipizzaner stud
Characteristics of the Lipizzaner horse
The Lipizzan Majority
Near the Slovenian-Italian border, in the embrace of the lush landscapes of the picturesque Slovenian karst region, lies the Lipizzan Majority. Founded in the 16th century, the stud is one of the most important places in Slovenia's historical and cultural heritage, and as an attraction it offers a special experience even for those who have less understanding of horses.
The Lipizzaner breed, one of the most famous horses in the world, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016. Visitors can also learn about its history in detail in the Majority. The farm offers an all-day program and is one of the most popular attractions in Slovenia for families.
Lipica stretches in the southwestern part of Slovenia, not far from the Italian border. The Slovenian coast is a short walk away, while the famous Postojna and Skocjan caves are also within an ideal distance.
Distance to the Slovenian coast: 30 minutes / 30 km
Distance to Postojna Cave: 30 minutes / 50 km
Distance to Skocjan Cave: 45 minutes / 85 km
Distance from Ljubljana: 1 hour / 85 km
A II. The stud, founded in 1578 by the Austrian Archduke Charles, was owned by the imperial family until 1918. Charles wanted to breed horses that would stand their ground in the imperial court, the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, both in terms of character and appearance.
The Slovenian karst region was chosen for this purpose because its soil is very similar to that of Spain. The majors were established in the area of the abandoned summer residence of the bishop of Trieste.
In the 16th century, the number of stud farms increased further, and in the early 18th century, during the reign of Emperor Joseph, the number of facilities was increased.
The Lipizzaner breed was introduced to the general public in 1735 at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. During the reign of Maria Theresa, the Lipizzaner herd was dealt with even more, mainly due to her husband, Francis I, who was a real obsession with horses.
However, there have also been ups and downs throughout the history of the Lipizzaner stud, and more and more difficulties have arisen since the late 18th century. During the wars, the herd had to be fled several times to other regions, during the Napoleonic Wars and the First and Second World War. horses were also relocated during World War II.
Eventually, however, they returned to their original location and managed to revive the stock that had meanwhile dwindled. The most in the II. World War I was plagued by the stud. In 1963, the herd consisted of only 59 horses. Apart from the wars, natural disasters did not ease the fate of the stud.
An earthquake shook the major in 1802, at which time buildings collapsed, and many valuable horses were destroyed. In the 1990s, however, Lipica rallied with renewed vigour and can now see a huge development behind it. The major is currently the safe and modern home of more than 400 Lipizzan horses.
The source of the almost constant conflict between the Slovenes and the Italians was the Lipizzan breed, which, however, can be said to have been born of a cross between the Spanish, Arab, Berber, and local Slovenian mountain horses.
The strong, muscular and hardy horse typical of the karst region is as present in the bloodline as the horses popular with Spaniards across Europe. On the lipica exterior is a smaller, short-necked, muscular-backed variety.
Its special feature is that it is born with dark hair and acquires its characteristic white colour only at the age of 5-6, which is one of the main characteristics of the Lipizzan breed.
When it was bred, one of the goals was to be able to boast of it at court ceremonies as well. This required an easy and gracefully moving horse that could also learn quickly. The world has admired the proud gait, excellent balance and special temperament of this horse for centuries.
Lipizzaner horses
Every day, tourists can also admire them in the Majorca of Lipica, who can get to know this variety, which is also recognised by UNESCO, as part of a spectacular show.
Even if we slip off the show, it's also worth checking out the horse training, which takes place every morning in the majors.
There is a restaurant, two hotels (with sauna, swimming pool and fitness room) and several golf courses for several days. The beautiful natural surroundings of the Majorca offer excellent opportunities for hiking or cycling.
Although it may seem to visitors, the majority is not primarily a tourist attraction. Lipica is still dedicated to horse breeding, and regularly hosts horse fairs and international competitions, e.g. also for the World Dressage Championships.
The Lipizzaner stud is an internationally recognised equestrian center that is visited by a large number of foreign visitors throughout the year, including not only spectators but also experts in horses.
There are camps and children's programs here in the summer, and lovers of the area are lucky enough to be able to take riding lessons here all year round.
You can walk around the Lipizzaner Majority on foot, but you can also rent a horse-drawn carriage. We can take riding lessons and also explore the large estate on horseback. However, seeing the Lipizzaner stud during a performance is a great experience.
But neither the Lipikum Museum nor the stables can be missed, about which the leader can tell many interesting stories.
The museum presents the essence of the Lipizzaner stud in an interactive way and in a way that is less understandable to those less familiar with horses, what it meant and what it means today for Slovenia and for Europe and the world.

TJN has done more than any other organisation to put fiscal justice at the center of the policy agenda. Tax issues should not be left to those who want to escape taxes! Changes will come when more and more citizens of the world take ownership of these matters. TJN is a powerful force acting in this direction.
Thomas Piketty, Economist
Founded at a time when tax was a Cinderella subject, the Tax Justice Network was one of few voices challenging the status quo. Since then, its energy and international reach have greatly magnified its influence as the issues it championed moved up the political agenda.
Vanessa Houlder, The Financial Times
I credit TJN for not only putting tax issues at the heart of the global development debate but also for ensuring that the voices of the people , especially from the Global South are heard loud and clear in this debate.
Jane Nalunga, Southern and Eastern African Trade, Information and Negotiations Institute
TJN has played a crucial role in opening up a whole range of issues. Questions of taxation are important in themselves, and they also unlock wider fundamental debates about the nature of our society. TJN has been at the forefront of opening up such issues.
Doreen Massey, Open University
Quienes luchamos hoy día a nivel global contra los crímenes fiscales y por desmontar la institucionalidad mundial creada para favorecer la impunidad y la opacidad fiscal; no podemos dejar de reconocer que sin TJN no tendríamos un movimiento internacional por la Justicia Fiscal con tanta fuerza y visibilidad. TJN ha sido fundamental para nosotros en América Latina al brindarnos el instrumental teórico y técnico para comprender el entramado de mecanismos utilizados por los consorcios multinacionales para estimular el fraude fiscal.
"Those of us fighting at a global level against tax crimes, and those who are seeking to dismantle the global institutions that promote impunity and fiscal opacity, cannot fail to recognise that without TJN we simply would not have an international movement for tax justice with such strength and visibility. TJN has been fundamental for us in Latin America in providing the theoretical and technical tools to understand the network of mechanisms used by multinational corporations to engage in tax cheating."
Jorge Coronado Marroquin, Desarrollo y Derechos (LATINDADD)
TJN was instrumental not only in promoting policy issues pertaining to global tax dodging and exposing its impact on government revenue and public service provision worldwide and development finance in developing countries. It was also equally instrumental in encouraging, and giving policy and institutional support to civil society organisations in the South to engage with the issues and join the tax justice movement to raise their voice and get involved in the struggle against tax dodging and illicit financial flows. Tax Justice Network ? Africa and other tax justice networks in the South owe a lot to this initial support.
Dereje Alemayehu, Global Alliance for Tax Justice
Without the TJN it is impossible for me to imagine how activists and an ever growing public would ever have understood – and been outraged by – the threat the offshoring of the world's wealth represents to the 20th century's major social innovations: the middle class and the social welfare state. And on a personal note, it was not until I came into contact with TJN that I knew how to go about exposing the "fiscal termite" eating away at democracy.
Harold Crooks, The Price We Pay
Not only does the Tax Justice Network know as much about tax havens, dodges, avoidance and evasion as PriceWaterhouse, KPMG, Deloitte and Ernst & Young combined! they use their expertise for the benefit of the 99 percent and show how we can claw back the stolen billions and use the money for the common good.
Susan George, The Transnational Institute
TJN has done invaluable pioneering effort to elevate tax justice advocacy as a broad international effort, and providing rigorous, credible research, policy analysis and proposals. We have learned a lot from the sharing of information, updates and analyses. It has helped greatly in linking our work with others across the globe for mutual support and solidarity in pursuing common goals.
Lidy Nacpil, Jubilee South, Asia/Pacific Movement on Debt & Development (JSAPMDD)
TJN's efforts to promote international cooperation on the part of governments and enforce responsibility on the part of multinationals safeguard the resources developing countries need for their development.
Manuel (Butch) Montes, The South Centre
TJN has been instrumental over the past 10 years in making people understand that paying taxes is key to building a civilised society, that tax evasion and tax avoidance must be addressed without complacency. They have significantly contributed to trigger the political support necessary to fight bank and fiduciary secrecy and address the distortions of the international tax system.
Pascal Saint-Amans, OECD
In some ways I feel responsible for TJN's creation since I suggested in a 2000 OECD Observer report that civil society needed to have a stronger voice in the international tax debate. Well, over these 12 years it certainly has achieved this, moving tax issues up the political agenda.
Jeffrey Owens, OECD
The expression 'tax justice' has entered vocabulary, thanks to the efforts of the Tax Justice Network. Its calls for automatic exchange of information, transparency of company ownership, country-by-country reporting and unitary taxation have redefined the field of taxation, corporate governance and international relations to empower people and call giant corporations to account.
Prem Sikka, Centre for Global Accountability
The tireless campaigners at Tax Justice Network, always armed with the best data and the most incisive analysis, have been absolutely key in shifting the scandal of global tax evasion from the nerdy fringes of public debate to the very centre.
Heather Stewart, The Observer
When big businesses and the rich avoid paying their fair share of tax, they cheat us all. The
Tax Justice Network describes, in plain English, how they do it, what it's consequences are
and how to stop it. If you want a fair society, start reading here.
Richard Wilkinson, The Equality Trust


How I found out about it: On Anna's Reads.
Summary: After her dad dies in a car accident, the only thing Anna wants is to be left alone. But when her mom puts the house up for sale and relocates to the other side of the country in Connecticut, Amy soon finds herself road tripping to her new "home" with Roger, a guy she knew when she was little. Roger has troubles of his own to the tune of the unexpected end of a relationship. The two decide to ditch Anna's mom's road trip itinerary and go for a little adventure on their own, accompanied by only the best playlists.
Just like The Gap Year, I can't stop yakking my head off about how amazingly wonderful this book is. What is there not to love about a book featuring two people road tripping across the country with some awesome tunes on the radio. The book could have easily fallen into the realm of cliché, but Roger and Amy's characters are both so well-developed and with every passing day in that car, the change in each of them is evident.
First of all, as a huge fan of theatre myself, I loved that Amy was an aspiring actress and fan of Sondheim. (I love him too.) It's also awesome that she loves a good diner. (Being originally from Jersey, I understand this.) Second, I love that she doesn't feel the need to "make friends" with Roger at first. She's dealing with so much, and I think Matson does an amazing job of creating this internal Anna. She's down to earth. She's honest. She's hurting and her emotions are raw. The flashbacks are smoothly woven within the present day story and I feel with each chapter, we get a better grasp as to the blame Anna is placing on herself for the end of her family as she knew it, and also this rebirth of hope for the future.
Roger, at the same time, is trying to figure out why his relationship just ended. He's also stuck in the car with a girl he hardly knows and who just went through some traumatic events. He is a trooper, he is a rock, and he never pushes. For a change, it's nice (well, you know what I mean) to see a boy who is constantly calling a girl who won't call him back and is giving him vague answers to questions.
In addition, every character they meet up with has a hand in helping these characters discover the truths about themselves and push them closer together. I'm not dense. Even from the cover, you realize somehow, someway, these two are going to end up together. (Even if Roger and Amy had no idea.) Whether for an evening, or for something more meaningful. They need each other. And when we finally reach that point, it's perfect even though their future together remains unknown.
There are some lovely, touching moments in this book. Particularly when Amy reaches Graceland and visits her brother in a rehab facility. The experiences that unfold when they are trying to track down Roger's ex are also very unexpected but genuine and important.
I can't say enough fantastic things about this book. I was truly sad when it was over, knowing it was going to take something spellbinding and absolutely groundbreaking to make me feel as complete and as changed as Amy & Roger did. One more amazing detail: I love when books use other mediums to tell a story – like the travel scrapbook and the playlists I have printed out and are waiting for me to make them myself.
Do you get what I'm saying yet? READ THIS BOOK.
This is one of my all time fave YA books! I can't stop gushing about it everrr! It was just so perfect. You know how I feel about travel and travelogues and such..so naturally road trip books are totes my thing!
I like the cover, and I think it is very cute. I cannot wait to read this book! I always like this kind of story. It sounds like a fun adventure! Great review! Thank you for sharing!
Your color scheme looks pretty! It matches the type of books you girls read.
I always like simple background and header. Your blog is a little simple, which I like it a lot! What you post is what matters!!
I lurrrrve this book! So glad I could "introduce" it to you!

North Korean negotiator says new talks depend on US attitude
AP , Monday 7 Oct 2019
North Korea breaks off nuclear talks with US in Sweden
North Korea negotiator says nuclear talks with US have broken down
It's up to Washington to alter its approach if it wants more talks with North Korea, Pyongyang's chief nuclear negotiator said Monday, after weekend discussions between the sides broke down amid acrimony.
Kim Myong Gil made the remarks at Beijing's airport on his way back to North Korea following talks with his U.S. counterpart, Stephen Biegun, on Saturday that Kim described as "very bad and sickening.''
"Whether or not there are further talks will depend on the U.S.,'' Kim told reporters.
"Whether there will be any shocking actions that nobody would expect to see if the U.S. is not ready, nobody knows. Let's wait and see,'' he said.
On Sunday night, North Korea's Foreign Ministry issued a statement accusing the U.S. of trying to mislead the public and "spreading a completely ungrounded story that both sides are open to meet'' again.
The Stockholm talks "made us think they have no political will to improve (North Korea)-U.S. relations and may be abusing the bilateral relations for their own partisan interests'' at home,'' the statement said.
Saturday's talks were the first since the second summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un collapsed in Vietnam in February due to squabbling over how much sanctions relief should be given to the North in return for dismantling its main nuclear complex.
The two leaders held a brief, impromptu meeting at the Korean border truce village of Panmunjom in late June and agreed to restart diplomacy.
Sweden invited North Korea and the U.S. to come back to Stockholm in two weeks for another round of negotiations. Sweden often acts as a bridge between Washington and Pyongyang because the U.S. does not have official diplomatic relations with North Korea.
While the North has shown itself receptive to talks without preconditions, Kim, the chief negotiator, sounded skeptical in his remarks about the chances for future success.
"It has been almost 100 days since the leaders' meeting in Panmunjom and (the U.S. has) not presented any new initiative. Do you think they will come up with a new one in two weeks?'' Kim told reporters after being asked if North Korea would accept the invitation.
North Korea has demanded the United States come up with mutually acceptable proposals to salvage the nuclear diplomacy by the end of this year.
U.S.-led diplomacy on how to rid North Korea of its nuclear weapons collapsed after Trump rejected Kim's demand for sweeping sanctions relief in return for partial disarmament steps during their Vietnam summit.
Many experts say recent weapons tests by North Korea were mainly aimed at applying pressure on the United States ahead of a possible resumption of talks.
Most of the weapons tested were short-range missiles and rockets that experts said could target South Korea, not the mainland U.S.

Happiness can be a complex and somewhat ephemeral subject to study, and with so many dimensions to a person's life and experience, it's important to focus attention on specific areas to properly gauge how happy women were in their multifaceted worlds. As part of the POPSUGAR Insights "Find Your Happy" study, we surveyed women to determine how happy they were in various areas of their lives and then looked at the top two box summary (very happy and somewhat happy) to rank where they are happiest.
Overall, the sometimes challenging role of motherhood is what delivers the highest state of happiness. Eighty-six percent of moms said that they are happiest in their role as a parent, with over 61% of women stating that they were "very happy" with parenthood.
Beyond parenthood, it's connections and passions that drive happiness for women. Seventy-three percent of women overall said that their family relationships make them happiest. This was especially true of married women (81%), millennial moms (79%) and working women (77%). Over 71% of women cited their hobbies and activities as the area of their lives that creates the most happiness.
Proving the important role that technology plays in keeping us connected, informed, and entertained, 70% of women cited the ability to use technology to improve their lives as what makes them happiest. This notion was especially espoused by students (74%) and Hispanics (79%), but was generally high among all age ranges, life stages, and ethnicities.


Cultural elements and their relationships create a pattern that is distinct to and organization. However, organizational cultures have some common characteristics.
An organization that values formality rules, standard operating procedure ad hierarchical coordination has a bureaucratic culture.Long-term concerns of bureaucracy are predictability, efficiency and stability. Behavioral norms support formality over informality. Managers view their roles as good coordinators, organizers and enforcers of written rules and standards. Tasks, responsibilities and authority for employees are clearly defined. The organization's rules and processes are spelled out in manuals and employees believe their duty is to follow them.
Tradition, loyalty, personal commitment, extensive socialization, teamwork, self-management and social influence are attributes of a culture. Its members recognize and obligation beyond the contractual agreements. Loyalty is rewarded by security. Because the individuals believe that organization will treat them fairly in all respects and aspects, they hold themselves accountable to the organization for their actions. Longtime clan members serve as mentors and role models for the new members. These relationships perpetuate organization's norms and values over successive generation of employees. In this type of culture, members share a sense of pride in membership. They have a strong sense of identification and recognize the interdependence of organizations and members.
Depending on the types of norms, the cultures may or may not generate risk taking behaviors or innovation.
High levels of risk taking, dynamism and creativity characterize an entrepreneurial culture. There is commitment to experimentation, innovation and being on the leading edge. This couture doesn't just quickly react to changes in the environment; it creates change. Effectiveness means providing new and unique products and rapid growth. Individual initiative, flexibility and freedom foster growth and are encouraged and well rewarded.
The achievement of measurable and demanding goals, especially those which are financial and market based (e.g., sales growth, profitability and market share) characterize a market culture. Hard-driving competitiveness and profit orientation prevail throughout the organization.
In market culture, the relationship between an individual and the organization is contractual. There is clear agreement on what one can expect from the other and the formal control orientation is quite stable. The individual is responsible for some level of performance and the organization promises a specific level of rewards. However, the organization does not promise security and the individual does not promise loyalty. In this culture, superior's interaction with subordinates largely consists of negotiating performance-reward agreements and/or evaluating requests for resource allocation. The absence of long-term commitment of both the parties results in a weak socialization process. Social relations among co-workers aren't officially emphasized, and few economic incentives are tied to direct cooperating with peers. The pure official relationships shared by the members with each other may not result in personal network. The market culture is often tied to monthly, quarterly and annual performance goals based on profits.


This is a video of my contribution to the workshop 'The Frontiers of DH: Humanities Systems Infrastructure', presented by the UC Digital Humanities Programme during November 2015. See also Prof. Paul Arthur: Smart Infrastructures for Cultural and Social Research, Prof. Alan Liu: Against the Cultural Singularity, and (earlier in the month) Dr. Tim Sherratt: Towards A Manifesto for Tactical DH Research Infrastructure. A series of blog posts about the workshop, by Lucy-Jane Walsh from the UC CEISMIC archive project, starts here.
The diagram referred to in my seminar is available below. Many thanks to the audience for pointing out inconsistencies and areas for improvement, which are reflected in subsequent drafts.
Abstract: Humanists are often resistant to conversations about infrastructure, viewing it as a topic better suited to managers and technical experts. By undertaking a humanities-centered systems analysis of our infrastructure however, we unlock a range of technical, cultural and socio-political issues - and create opportunities to develop a global humanities infrastructure of massive value to future generations.
The draft model below is derived from model 44 of The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF).


Gal Gadot, a 32-year-old Israeli actress, was paid $300,000 to star in the blockbuster movie "Wonder Woman." Although she is appreciative of her salary, fans believe that she warranted a much higher paycheck.
Her salary was part of an agreement to star in three films, including "Batman vs Superman" and "Justice League,"where she would receive $300,000 for each film.
Fans have come to her defense after her salary was revealed, but in actuality it appears that the amount is common for a comparatively standard actor's first superhero movie.
In the 2011 movie "Captain America," Chris Evans received a similar amount for the film's first installment, and Chris Hemsworth supposedly earned less for Thor. It is very likely that Gadot will negotiate a substantially better deal for the film's sequel, as "Wonder Woman" has earned more than $800 million worldwide.
