Well the useless people at LiveTV4Ever was at it again. After a buffering low quality terrible stream of the Super14 Finals they obviously lost or rather deliberately disconnected, the stream to prevent any paying customer from viewing the final presentations and jubilations.
I have never seen such a useless and amateurish service as that of LiveTV4Ever.com.
DO NOT WAISTE YOUR MONEY - Rather get cable tv and pay the price than to have your sporting pleasure in the hands of a bunch of non-caring school-kids!

Should you subscribe to LiveTV4Ever
Well the answer is in my point of view: NO don't!
I personally can not say they are a total scam. When they have a feed (and the emphasis on on the word when) then, yes it is good quality.
But then why my statement that you should not subscribe. Well it is easy.
Firstly, I subscribed to the 6 months feed and it went smooth. Came end of the month, they just simply subtracted more money, and again, and again. After sending 17 messages they responded but refused any reimbursements and just ignored any alternative requests. No response and just no answers. That is Fraud! Nothing but Fraud.
Secondly, If there is a sporting event, don't count seeing it. Too often the feeds are messed up and in stead of seeing your all important final game, whatever the sport may be, you will be seeing some backyard underrated and totally unrelated sporting event. Imagine tuning in and seeing some fishing event when you were all geared up for a nice fast game of rugby!
Thirdly, feeds just don't display. And that is so true for feeds for important games. Up to now I never had the previlage to view any important final. Having no option, you will have to watch low quality free stream sites with a bunch of over enthusiastic swearing people clogging up the bandwith with rubbish and swearing chats!
But, you may say, they do have a online support system AND support e-mail. Surely that helps. No ways. They ignore it! I have spend hours waiting for so-called support and have send hunderds (litteraly) messages begging for support and some kind of answer. None is forth-comming and none will be forth comming.
So in short, they seem initially to be a nice bunch of people but don't expect service nor delivery for what you paid! So, go and pay and enjoy! That is, if you have money to throw away!

What is Operant Conditioning (Psychology)
"Operant conditioning was pioneered by Skinner. Learning is the result of an association being formed between behaviour and its consequences; the Law of Effect states that behaviour which has a positive consequence will be learned. For example, if lever pressing delivers food to a hungry rat, food is positive reinforcement and lever pressing is likely to be repeated. Behaviour that results in the removal of something aversive, e.g. pressing a lever stops an electrical shock, is negatively reinforced, and so is also likely to be repeated. Behaviour leading to aversive outcome, or the removal of something pleasant, is punishment. Skinner believed punishment to be an unethical and ineffective way of changing behaviour. Behaviour can be shaped, i.e. moved towards the desired outcome, by reinforcing successive approximations of what is required. Skinner sees learning as following processes similar to those in evolution, but over the individual's lifetime, in that learning produces an organism better adapted to the environment.
Studies using a Skinner box have established these principles in animals. They apply equally to humans, and have been used successfully in behaviour modification programmes, e.g. reducing disruptive classroom behaviour, using reinforcers such as praise and plastic tokens, later exchanged for what the individual finds reinforcing.
While effective in changing behaviour, this approach has been criticised for ignoring the role of internal cognitive processes in behaviour change, and for its use of experiments divorced from the natural environment.

Improve your Body Image Workshops
The body is a map which expresses our feeling states, our thoughts and beliefs. It ultimately links us to our sense of self. It connects us and disconnects us. A disturbed body image carries a history that cuts critically into our sense of being connected to our selves and to others.
This one day (Saturday) workshop aims to explore our personal body image that defends us from connectivity and to loosen the armour through discussion, movement and creative expression.

Attachment Theory explained in short
Lorenz took a walk with his ducks imprinting the living fear into Bowlby who "attached" himself to a tree whilst Ainsworthy, observing the chaos, classified it as insecure not noting the terrified monkey of Harlow seeking comfort from the surrounding fencing.
Main & Goldwyn passed by, gave a dismissive look and continued being preoccupied with their discussion of Baumrinds authoritative classifications of parenting styles!
Familiar with these terms and names? They are essential for both DSE212 and ED209 or other psychology subjects, especially level 2.

ED209 Parenting & Attachment Summary Notes
With a focus on parenting, and its implications for children's development throughout childhood and into later life, Chapter 1 of Book 2 (ED209) is a comprehensive account of what the Attachment Theory of Bowlby is all about.
The chapter explains the main theoretical background of Bowlby's attachment theory which later triggered the Strange Situation experiment developed by Ainsworth. This technique facilitated research into secure and insecure attachment and infance and its effects on development. The Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) can be used to investigate the continuing effects of early attachment type through to adulthood.
A broad overview of the effect of parental behaviour on the development of children is provided in light of the ideas on parenting style as theorised by Baumrind as well as research into adolescence.

Attachment Theory Classifications
Ainsworth (1969) classified children in three types being secure, insecure-avoident and insecure-resistent whilst Main & Solomon (1990) later also identified a fourth group namely disorganised.
Subsequent studies conducted by Vontra et al. (1995) established a link between mother groups (sensitive, controlling and unresponsive) and the relevant child classification of Ainsworth.
Goldberg et al (1994) also used the Strange Situation to investigate the experiences of emotion on each of these classifications with their findings supporting Ainsworth's general observation.
