This game is mythical in nature, but the prizes are not! Get quadruple your cashback when you play Unicorn Legend!
All sorts of magical creatures and symbols of the medieval fantasy genre populate the five reels of Unicorn Legend. Apart from the unicorn, you'll have fairies, looming proud castles, owls as well as letters, A, K, Q, J, etc. These at first may seem random, but actually correspond to high cards in a suit, the Ace, King, Queen and Jack. As with all slots machines, point of the game is to line up as many identical symbols as possible in any active payline.
The wild symbol is the famed unicorn, which functions as a versatile substitute which can take any spot in the payline with a missing symbol, which then completes the combination for a win.
The Free Game Feature along with wild symbols on all the reels increase the possibility of the win in this game. Payline wise, you have 1-25 paylines to activate—it is always advised to begin with the minimum active paylines open, especially if one is playing on a budget or is a beginner.
Getting three or more Emblems on the reels allow a player to choose how many free spins he wished to take—here is a list below with the corresponding multipliers.
20 free games – the Unicorn symbol multiplies by 2, 3 or 4
15 free games – the Unicorn symbol multiplies by 4, 5 or 6
10 free games – the Unicorn symbol multiplies by 6, 8 or 12
You can re-trigger the Free Game feature when spinning.
The Unicorn symbol only appears on the reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for any symbol except for the emblem. The unicorn or the wild symbol can be used to make one winning combination but in the case of multiple wild symbols on the reels, there will not be multiple wins—but instead the highest win will be paid out. The Emblem is the scatter feature of the game, which allows for higher multipliers on payouts and allows for free spins when more of it appear on the reels.

#WithRefugees Campaign
In a world where violence forces thousands of families to flee for their lives each day, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, believes now is the time to show world leaders that the global public stands #WithRefugees.
To do this, we launched the #WithRefugees petition in June 2016 to send a message to governments that they must work together and do their fair share for refugees.
On World Refugee Day, held every year on June 20th, we commemorate the strength, courage and perseverance of millions of refugees. This year, World Refugee Day also marks a key moment for the public to show support for families forced to flee.

This German-made adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel came to the States without any credits listed, except for actress Ellen Richter, who played Mary Tudor, Queen of Scots, otherwise known as "Bloody Mary." The queen's lover, a wily Italian adventurer named Frabino, takes over the reigns of power from her ministers. The people are up in arms over this state of affairs, and the Spanish Ambassador comes up with a scheme to get rid of the interloper: he convinces a commoner, Jane, who is engaged to Gilbert, a craftsman, to claim that Frabino has made love to her. She does as requested and both Frabino and Gilbert are thrown into prison. But the queen still loves Frabino, and through Jane, she tries to manipulate the situation so that Gilbert will be beheaded instead of Frabino. But Jane double-crosses the queen, and Frabino goes to his death while Gilbert goes free. The ambassador rewards him and Jane for their efforts.

Update on VeriSign's renewed stewardship of .netThe Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has released more details regarding the evaluation of Verisign and its competitors for management of the 'net' domain extension. VeriSign the current registry operator for the third-largest domain extension keeps its job for another six years. The .com keeper was expected to hand over the reins of control after its existing contract with ICANN ends June 30, but ended up being the top vote getter out of a field of five other companies. The bids were ranked in the following order: VeriSign, Sentan, Afilias, Denic and CORE++. VeriSign will now enter two weeks of negotiations with ICANN staffers to hammer out a registry operator agreement for their next term. In a few day's time, the negotiating team from VeriSign will meet with ICANN officials to discuss any changes they want made to the draft registry agreement. If for some reason the two sides cannot come to terms in the time allotted, ICANN will begin negotiations with the second-highest bidder, Sentan. A report will also be sent to ICANN's board of directors detailing the contended points, as well as comments from the bidder in response. The five competing bids were evaluated by Telcordia, a somewhat controversial group, to be selected as independent evaluators. The company has past and existing business connections with two of the five bidders, VeriSign and NeuStar, owner of one of the bidders. Telcordia spent the past two months interviewing, scoring and evaluating the five bids under consideration. The organisation's preliminary report, with its notes on each bid's relative strengths and weaknesses, was completed earlier this month and given to each bidder following a site visit. Each applicant was given time to respond to the evaluators' report. "The evaluators find that all the vendors have the capabilities to run the .net registry," the Telcordia report said, but noted that the "distinguishing characteristics are largely difference in experience, risk and price." Throughout the process, scores of Red, Yellow, Green or Blue were used. Although specific definitions of the scores were developed for each criteria in the process, a Red score meant that the level of service was unacceptable. Yellow meant there were serious flaws or issues, Green meant the quality was acceptable, while Blue signified that the service exceeded requirements. The final scoring result gave a slight advantage to VeriSign after the company scored 14 Blue votes. Sentan received 13 Blue votes, while the other three only received a handful of mentions. Jordyn Buchanan, Register.com director of policy, said the main concern at the registrar is getting a registry operator that can maintain the stability of the .net service. He's not surprised that VeriSign will retain its stewardship and expects the decision to be warmly received from an operational standpoint, if not from a policy point of view, from some in the Internet community. "I think a lot of people in the past have expressed concerns about VeriSign's stewardship of the various [generic top-level domains (gTLDs)] that it runs, and we don't always see eye to eye on policy issues," he said. "And I think it's important that ICANN continues to work very diligently to ensure VeriSign is a good steward of this community resource and complies with the policies that are developed by the community. "With that in mind, it's good to take a look at the contract to make sure it gives ICANN the flexibility to make that happen." The Association for Competitive Technology (ACT) applauded the decision to retain VeriSign as the .net domain registry operator. "The stability and security of the .net domain is critical to the future of the Internet. We are pleased to see that ICANN put these concerns above corporate squabbles and politics in making its decision," ACT President Jonathan Zuck said in a statement. The .net bidding process, which began last year, is slightly behind schedule. Originally, the ranking results were scheduled to be completed by March 9, according to the request for proposal (RFP) on the .net bids, with the announcement of the final winner during the March ICANN board of directors meeting. According to Kieran Baker, an ICANN spokesman, the board can either convene a special meeting or make the announcement as soon as next week, during the organization's thrice-yearly ICANN meeting in Mar del Plata, Argentina, next week. Regardless of the outcome, VeriSign's appointment as the next .net registry operator is still subject to final approval of the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). Return to internet news headlines

What we did:
We have been working with Patric at Connect 2 Net since he started the business in 2010.
The aim of the website was to develop the company's customer base and to advertise the services that were available. With this key aim it was important for us to consider techniques beyond the design. This included multiple 'home' pages specific to local areas, glossy business cards and magnetic business cards, invoice sheets, paid for advertising on one of the leading search engines, map integration in to one of the leading search engines and multiple, area specific, domain names.
To date, the website still remains at the top of the rankings on search engines, above Yell, this has been one of the most successful points to the website's creation.
Since having Dean at PixelPals create my website my business has gone from strength to strength. I owe this young man a great deal for guiding me through the ups and downs of internet advertising. He definitely has the magic touch for pushing my business to the very top of Google and for designing the layout of my advert.

Interview: San Jose Earthquakes' President on Concerns About New Soccer Stadium
The agenda for the San Jose Planning Commission meeting tonight includes the proposal for a soccer stadium put forward by the San Jose Earthquakes. If this sounds familiar, it should; the Planning Commission approved the project in December of last year. But members of the Newhall Neighborhood Association filed an appeal (pdf), and so the issue comes up again tonight.
The stadium would seat about 18,000 on a site very closem to Mineta International Airport. The neighbors' appeal cites concerns about how future disputes would be handled, intense stadium lighting, and especially noise -- public address systems, music, post-game fireworks, and something soccer is known for around the world -- loud crowds. Earthquakes' president Dave Kaval says the team is sensitive to those issues and especially to that bane of the 2010 World Cup, the vuvuzuela.
We feel that we have a plan that mitigates that, both in the way we've designed the stadium and the way we have restrictions on not bringing vuvuzuelas and some other kinds of noisemakers. At our current stadium, Buck Shaw, we actually ban vuvuzuelas, air horns, whistles, things that can take away from the ambience of the venue. But we do allow some drums for specific supporters' groups.
Kaval stressed that the Quakes respect the process that allows community input at this point. But he said neighbors should keep the history of the area in mind.

Previously the site was used to build M-2 Bradley armored personnel carriers. We did the demolition work on the old factory last year. So if you consider what it was, a tank factory, and now it's going to be a professional sports venue, that's a pretty big change. It's gentrification of an area that had been blighted and unused, which is a real positive for the community.
I asked him what happens to the land if the Quakes don't succeed in putting a stadium there.
The reality is maybe nothing would get built here. Maybe it would just lie empty for a long time. We have the option to develop the whole property, so in the long term this would include the stadium on 14 acres, our practice facility, and four lighted and turfed public soccer fields. And we have it zoned for a hotel and commercial real estate. It's going to be a great gateway into San Jose for all the people arriving at the airport.
Kaval came to the Earthquakes in the fall of 2010 after founding independent baseball's California Golden League. But soccer has always been a passion for him.
I've lived here since the early 1990's. I went to games when the team was the San Jose Clash, and to the earlier version of the Quakes before the team left for Houston. The Earthquakes originally go back to 1974, when the team started playing in the North American Soccer League in San Jose. It was the first pro sports team in Silicon Valley. For a lot of people who were here at the time, it really helped put the community on the map, and created a lot of camaraderie and civic pride.
And Kaval thinks a new stadium that would belong to the Quakes, instead of the rented college facilities the team has had up to now, would bring a whole new fan base with it.
Similar to when the Sharks got here. Who knew about hockey before we got a hockey team here? And it's been wildly successful. Well, people already know about soccer. It's the perfect sport for this international, diverse community of the Silicon Valley. People come here from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and for many of them their number one sport is soccer.
If the Planning Commission gives the green light, construction could start later this year and the Quakes could kick off by the end of 2013. No city money is involved, says Kaval; the team is providing all the funding. The Quakes share ownership with the Oakland A's, who might have a new San Jose stadium of their own if Major League Baseball allows them to move south. Kaval says links between the two stadium proposals have been overblown.
We're really run as our own entity. This process is really a stand-alone process. Since our ownership is basically the same as the A's, any learning from this, best practices, and how to work with communities, can be helpful to them. But they're not linked in the way that some people might assume. The financing is completely separate, and obviously it's a different sport, different league, different location.

The hearing's at San Jose City Hall at 6:30 PM and will be streamed online. We'll have more on this story Thursday morning on KQED News.

I was thrilled to learn a few months ago that Scandinavia House would be hosting an exhibition of the paintings of Vilhelm Hammershøi, one of my favorite painters whose works are rarely seen firsthand in
. Hammershøi is one of those rare artists whose
work you either love or hate, the admirers and despisers citing the same
attributes to support their respective opinions. Hammershøi definitely doesn't fit any mold,
his oeuvre refuses to be defined by any specific time period, his approach, though
blatantly unaffected by revolutionary trends within Europe's artistic
community, seems strangely modern today.
If you are unfamiliar with the work of this Danish master, I hope to
provide a reasonable introduction here. America
Vilhelm Hammershøi was born in
in 1864. His father was a successful
merchant, so he grew up in fairly prosperous circumstances, his family able to
provide art lessons for him from an early age.
He studied independently with a number of painters including the
talented Norwegian, P.S. Kroyer, and also attended the Copenhagen of Fine Arts for
formal training. Royal Danish
Hammershøi's life appears to have been delightfully mundane, exhibiting none of the turmoil and drama we normally associate with an artist's existence. After completing his studies, he painted a number of successful works featuring his sister, Anna, and was accepted for the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1885. In 1891, he married Ida Ilsted, the sister of a close friend and colleague, and she became his predominant model for the remainder of his life. His work enjoyed critical acclaim and provided him a reliable income. Artists and intellectuals visited Hammershøi, often finding him shy and retiring. He remained rooted in his native
, living
principally in just two locations which he documented thoroughly in his
work. Hammershøi died in 1916 at the age
of 51. Copenhagen
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - From Refsnaes - 1900
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Landscape from Lejre - 1905
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Landscape from Virum near Fredericksdal, Summer - 1888
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Rainy Summer Landscape from Virum near Fredericksdal - date unavailable
He was also interested in architectural details in urban settings: the façades of buildings, constricted courtyards, unpopulated streets, a glimpse of the sea between structures.
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - From the British Museum, Winter -1906
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Interior of Courtyard, Strandgade -1899
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Strandgade with Christians Kirke in the Background - 1908
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - The Royal Palace Church in Copenhagen - 1910
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - View of the Old Asiatic Company - 1902
By far, the motif that dominates his mature oeuvre is that of a lone female figure set in an intimate interior space, most commonly with her back turned to the viewer.
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - A Woman Reading by a Window - date unavailable
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Interior with Ida in a White Chair - 1900
Early on he used his sister as his model, but, once he married, his wife, Ida, almost exclusively populates his carefully documented interiors. Hammershøi and his wife lived in two locations throughout their marriage, and the artist repeatedly and painstakingly documented their living quarters: the polished wooden floors, the heavy molding framing each doorway, the cool tentative light that drizzles through the thick windowpanes, the dark, hidden recesses glimpsed down hallways or through partially open doorways, the familiar furniture which appears again and again in his various paintings.
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Drawing Room - The Four Copper Prints - 1905
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Interior in Strandgade - date unavailable
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Interior with Two Candles - 1904
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Interior, Sunlight on the Floor - 1906
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Hammershøi was a great admirer of the paintings of Vermeer and Whistler. There are many striking similarities between his work and theirs: muted tonalities, a focus on carefully arranged compositions and a sensitivity to atmosphere and light.
|Johannes Vermeer - The Milkmaid - 1658c
|James Whistler - Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 - 1871
Whistler, as a portrait painter, arrived at two essential innovations: he made the perfection of the overall composition his supreme concern and he used brushwork organically, almost matter-of-factly, as determined by his subject matter. Vermeer presents a vignette, catching an instant in time that is in flux and will never happen again. Hammershøi brings something new to the equation. There is a sense that time is standing still, that this same moment could be experienced again in a week or even a year into the future. Perhaps this strange suspension of time is what gives Hammershøi's work its surreal quality. His paintings still seem fresh and contemporary over a century after their creation.
I wonder why these paintings of lone women inhabiting dimly lit interior spaces are so appealing and so evocative. The woman is usually conservatively attired in a dark, fairly plain dress, her hair pulled back and neatly arranged in a knot at the back of the head and her face turned away from the viewer. There is nothing opulent about the woman. A simple comb holds her braid in place. She wears little or no jewelry. Her dress is utilitarian. The space she occupies is equally unexceptional, neat, clean and sparsely furnished. Very few luxuries intrude on this Spartan lifestyle. A carefully maintained spinet, perhaps a family heirloom, is featured in several paintings. Glossy tabletops bear a silver candlestick holder or a few pieces of fine china. A book perused in quiet contemplation is a rare indulgence. The world depicted is thoroughly middleclass, an aura of restrained conservatism emanates from these intimate scenes.
I think comparing the work of Hammershøi to that of the Nabis artists, Pierre Bonnard and Eduoard Vuillard, will be revealing. Both Bonnard and Vuillard came to their artistic maturities at about the same time as Hammershøi and were also best known for depicting intimate scenes of home life.
An initial glance reveals most blatantly that the Nabis were participants in the modernist revolution in art. These French artists, living at the hub of the European art world, were aware of all the current trends and innovations in modern art: Impressionism, Pointillism and Symbolism. Technically, they were freed up to use paint however their need dictated, from thin transparent glazes to thick, mortar-like impasto. They used a heightened palette and did not employ color naturalistically. Hammershøi applied paint using time-proven, conservative techniques, and his palette is extremely restrained.
|Pierre Bonnard - Lunch at Le Grand Lamps - 1899
|Pierre Bonnard - The Luncheon - 1899
Hammershøi's scenes are carefully constructed, the figure usually placed nearly centrally, a rigid symmetry prevailing and a sense of balance achieved.
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Rest - date unavailable
The light in Bonnard's and Vuillard's paintings is warm and golden, essentially Mediterranean. It bursts into a house, filling rooms with a cheerful glow. Often the windows are cast open, inviting inside the outdoor light retaining the tones of gardens, trees and lawns.
|Eduoard Vuillard - The End of Breakfast with Madame Vuillard - 1895
|Pierre Bonnard - Woman with Cat - 1947
A cool northern light illuminates Hammershøi's scenes, feebly casting a pattern on the floor, filling the panes of a distant window or catching a swarm of dust particles swirling in its rays. Hammershøi's windows are always shut.
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Dust Motes Dancing in Sunlight - 1900
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Open Doors - 1905
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Sunshine in the Drawing Room III - 1903
The Nabis inhabit a social world. Friends and family members meander into their paintings to enjoy some conversation, tend to a child's needs, share a meal, play an instrument or simply read a newspaper. Tables are generously laid with colorful foods, polished crockery, sparkling glasses and patterned tablecloths. In the rare instances when an individual is presented alone, he or she is commonly accompanied by a family pet. There is a sense of the moment in these works… a deceptive feeling that the artist almost arbitrarily caught his subjects in mid-movement… that we have been privileged to catch a brief glimpse of the intimate family life of the artist. These paintings are filled with noise.
|Eduoard Vuillard - Family Lunch - 1899
|Eduoard Vuillard - Breakfast at Villerville - 1910
|Pierre Bonnard - Convocation - date unavailable
|Pierre Bonnard - The Red Checkered Tablecloth - 1910
Hammershøi was a reserved, contemplative man. Those intellectuals who chose to visit him found him shy and reluctant to converse. His world was fairly restricted – defined by his economic status and the places in which he lived. His social outlets were limited to a few close colleagues and family. The walls in his homes are unpapered and unpatterned, and the furniture is of dark wood, carefully dusted and polished. There is no sense of spontaneity in his paintings; every object included has been carefully chosen and positioned according to the demands of composition. Commonly, Hammershøi's interiors are inhabited by figures, almost exclusively alone and usually female. These women are sometimes engaged in quiet activity: carrying a platter, sitting at a spinet or reading a book. Just as commonly, they do nothing at all. Their world is undisturbed by visitors. Their days are not filled with demanding chores and physical exertion. Their homes are not filled with the sound of babies crying, animated conversation, animals mewing and barking, the laughter of children and the clatter of utensils on dishes. All is still and quiet. All activity is internal.
|Vilhelm Hammershoi - Interior with Ida Playing the Piano - 1910
|Vilhem Hammershoi - Interior with Young Woman from Behind - 1904
And, of course, the most striking thing about these paintings is that the figure is most often turned away from the viewer. This creates a strange paradox for us. These images depict intimate scenes of the artist's home life. His model is usually his wife or a close relation, and yet she is presented anonymously, almost serving purely as a compositional element. Depending upon personal predilections, desires and associations, the viewer is permitted to assert the features of his or her own choosing on the model. The woman becomes universal for us, but is this legitimate? The question becomes: how is identity established? For centuries, the answer would have been through the unique facial features of the individual. Often a portrait artist would have his subject sit for the painting of the head and use a stand-in model appropriately attired to pose for the body. Hammershøi challenges the accepted notion of what establishes identity – which seems to me a very modern conundrum. If the face is used to determine identity, then how does one evaluate the individual disfigured by injury or enhanced by cosmetic surgery? Would the coloration, texture and style of an individual's hair or the telltale turn of the waist be just as legitimate? Perhaps, the map of an individual's DNA would provide the definitive portrait.
Some critics have disparaged Hammershøi's efforts because his oeuvre appears to be relatively unaffected by developments made by the contemporary avante garde. After all, Hammershøi's life spans one of the most volatile and fertile periods in the history of art, beginning in the age of Impressionism and ending with Cubism firmly established as the predominant language of modern art. Was Hammershøi's choice not to participate in the fray of the modernist revolution indicative of some deficiency in his character – perhaps a weakness of will or conservative immutability? I don't think so. The greatest challenge facing any artist in making art significant to his audience is finding a language most apt for communicating his or her personal vision. Hammershøi accomplished this. During his lifetime, his work was admired and praised by members of the avante garde. And even today, a century after his death, Hammershøi's reputation is waxing, his paintings more marketable than ever and exhibitions of his work becoming more common, even in museums and galleries committed to presenting modern and contemporary art.
Painting Tranquility: Masterworks by Vilhelm Hammershøi from SMK – The National Gallery of
will be showing at Scandinavia House through
February 27th, 2016.
Scandinavia House is located at Denmark 58 Park Avenue, New York,
(between East 37th and 38th Streets). The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday
12-6 PM and Wednesday 12-7 PM.
As always I encourage readers to comment here, but, if you would prefer to do so privately, you can email me at email@example.com.
Endnote: I wrote this entry prior to the opening of the show at Scandinavia House. Yesterday evening after work, I finally hoofed it down to
Street to see the exhibit. Scandinavia House's exhibition space is
relatively modest, so I never expect to see an extensive collection of work
there. The first room was devoted mainly
to early portraiture, the second to mature figures studies and interior spaces
and the last to landscapes and architectural studies. And, by the way, if you should visit the
exhibition, be sure not to overlook a small side room off the main exhibition
space that appears to be more of a coat closet or storage space but actually
offers a video presentation on Hammershøi's life and work. I was surprised to discover that "process",
something that I look for in any artwork, was very evident in many of the
paintings; the few paintings of his that I've previously seen "live" were a lot
more polished. I was also pleased to
find that I had never seen a lot of work included in the show – even in
reproduction. My only criticism of the
exhibition is that none of Hammershøi's "signature" work was on display.

BONAVISTA, NL — Sheri Gillam, along with many of her followers on social media, certainly had a lot of fun with her twist on Elf on the Shelf last year.
Now, the Bonavista mom is continuing the tradition and creating her own life-sized elf moments in her home again this year.
With her son Elijah — now almost three years old — in mind, Sheri began dressing in an elf costume and getting into mischief, much like a typical Elf on the Shelf might this time of year.
She would post photos of the hijinks on the social media platform Facebook to share with her friends.
So far, early this December, Elfie has made her way onto the roof of the house, gotten into a toilet paper fight with a Mr. Potato Head, and even "dressed" a chicken — but not for dinner.
With each passing night, Sheri certainly keeps her online friends anxiously waiting to see what Elfie might do next.
And at this point, they're so popular she won't be able to hang up the elf costume any time soon.

Here's a reference that might help - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siebe_Gorman_Proto
Proto 'rebreather' BA was used by the London Fire Brigade as early as 1913 and they were still using it in 1966, alongside what we now consider "conventional" SCBA. It had a longer duration than those early SCBAs but you had a cylinder of pure oxygen strapped to your chest!
Thanks for the info on Drager, wasn't sure on that history. Of course the Scott was developed by Scott Avaition. MSA was Mine Safety Agencey, so that mining industry and Survivair/Sperian now Honeywell came out to the diving industry. Of course there are ISI, Interspiro and others looking for part of the market. As a tech for Scott, Survivair and MSA each have strengths and weaknesses, and each have their own challenges servicing.

Well here it is: the last day of 2013. Hallelujah!
I don't know about you, but I am happy to see it go. This year I have seen friends betrayed. I have seen people make poor choices and cause others to suffer for those choices. I have been a part of too many tearful phone calls and have had to brace myself for more uncomfortable conversations than I care to recall. This has been a year that has truly been "life-changing." You may have been one of those who has called on me during this year. If so, know that I have counted it as an honor and a privilege to have helped you through your dark time. I have had my share of them. I know. I know. I have never once minded talking with you and praying with you and crying with you. I just hated that we had to be doing it in the first place.
You may have been one of those whom I called on when my head almost exploded. Hey, thanks for being there. Thanks for praying for me. For taking time from all the mess you had going on to get on your knees and go to the God of All on my behalf. I needed it. It worked. Some of you told me to quit my miserable job and I did. Thanks for that. You even told me that my hair looked nice when I was in the hospital. I needed that, too.
As bad as 2013 has been, it has also had its rewards; if the bad stuff hadn't happened, I wouldn't have drawn as near to the Lord as I have. I have pleaded to Him for my own health and well-being as well as for my dear friends and family. I have called on Him for strength and courage and kindness and compassion and wisdom in ways that I never have before. I have sought His Face at the top of majestic mountains and in the deepest valleys. He has been there. And will continue to be there. He promised.
So I stand ready to turn the page on the calendar. Tear that thing right off the wall. Shred it. Toss it out with the burned-out strand of lights and the expired egg nog.
Sort-of. Because when we begin a new year it means beginning it without the loved ones we had to say goodbye to. It's another milestone that they will not be a part of. We'll do things without them and that feels weird. In the first few years following the death of my mother, I remember not wanting anything new. "Something New" was something she had not seen, had not been a part of, and I felt as though I was betraying her and her memory by experiencing it. I later came to terms with all of this with the help of the Holy Spirit guiding me through Scripture. I realized that death and heaven were her reward, not her punishment, and that she was experiencing the best kind of "new." It was ok for me to laugh and smile and do new things here on earth, because she's having a great time with Jesus and I will too, one day.
So we can turn that calendar page, knowing that God is omnipotent and that we go into this fresh, New Year with Him as our strength and our guide and our help. There are unknown and unexpected opportunities for us to share His love and His message of hope and eternal life and I pray that I will not miss one of them. I ask His guidance on all that I do and say and that it all will be pleasing to Him.
I pray that for you, too. Whoever is reading this, may you have the confidence and the knowledge that, whoever you are or have been, God loves you and wants His best for you. Go into this year knowing that. Tell Him your troubles and ask His forgiveness. Forgive those who have wounded you. You don't need to carry that into 2014, either. It's not going to do anyone any good. Just let it go, along with the burned-out lights and the expired egg nog.
Happy New Year!

Tenet 14 – Jesus Christ is never returning personally or bodily to the earth. He became invisibly present in a spiritual, figurative sense in 1914, when he began ruling as King in heaven. wit.irr.org
After many failed prophecies, Watchtower publications contained the following:
The excerpts are taken from The Failed Prophecies of The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (They list many more of Watchtower 's prophecies than I copy here. Visit that site to see all)
1879 "Christ came in the character of a Bridegroom in 1874…. at the beginning of the Gospel harvest." (Watchtower, Oct 1879, p. 4)
1880 "We need not here repeat the evidences that the "seventh trump" began its sounding A.D., 1840, and will continue until the end of the time of trouble, and the end of "The times of the Gentiles," A.D., 1914, and that it is the trouble of this "Great day," which is here symbolically called the voice of the Archangel when he begins the deliverance of fleshly Israel. "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince (Archangel) which standeth for the children of thy people and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation." Dan. xii. 1. Nor will we here, again present the conclusive Bible proof that our Lord came for his Bride in 1874, and has an unseen work as Reaper of the first-fruits of this Gospel Age. (Zion's Watchtower November, 1880 p. 1)
1903 "When Uranus and Jupiter meet in the humane sign of Aquarius in 1914, the long-promised era will have made a fair start in the work of setting man free to work out his own salvation, and will insure the ultimate realization of dreams and ideals of all poets and sages in history." (Watchtower, May 1, 1903, p. 130-131; p3184 Reprints)
1904 "According to our expectations the stress of the great time of trouble will be on us soon, somewhere between 1910 and 1912, culminating with the end of the 'Times of the Gentiles,' October, 1914." (The New Creation, Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 6, p. 579, 1904)
1908 "In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be accomplished at the end of A. D. 1914." (The Time Is At Hand; 1889; 1908 ed.; p. 99)
1914 came and went without the Kingdom of God being accomplished. This is how they explained the failed prophecies from 1903,1904, and 1908…
1914 "Even if the time of our change should not come within ten years, what more should we ask? Are we not a blessed, happy people? Is not our God faithful? If anyone knows anything better, let him take it. If any of you ever find anything better, we hope you will tell us." (Watchtower, Dec 15, 1914, p. 376.)
1914 "Studying God's Word, we have measured the 2520 years, the seven symbolic times, from that year 606 B.C. and have found that it reached down to October, 1914, as nearly as we were able to reckon. We did not say positively that this would be the year." (Watchtower, November 1, 1914, p. 325)
1914 "While it's possible that Armageddon may begin next Spring, yet this purely speculation to attempt to say just when. We see, however, that there are parallels between the close of the Jewish age and this Gospel age. These parallels seem to point to the year just before us part particularly the early months." (Watchtower Reprints, VI, Sept 1, 1914, p. 5527)
1914 "There is absolutely no ground for Bible students to question that the consummation of this Gospel age is now even at the door, and that it will end as the Scriptures foretell in a great time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. We see the participants in this great crisis banding themselves together… The great crisis, the great clash, symbolically represented as a fire, that will consume the ecclesiastical heavens and the social earth, is very near." (Watchtower Reprints, VI, May 1, 1914, p. 5450)
1915 "In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the kingdom of God, will be accomplished near the end of A.D. 1915. (The Time Is At Hand, 1915 edition, p. 99)
1918 "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, p. 89)
In 1929, this was put out by Watchtower in Prophecy publication.
1929 'If these prophesies have not been fulfilled, and if all possibility of fulfilment is past, then these prophets are proven false.' (Prophecy, 1929, p 22)
With a declaration such as that, would not the entire organization crumble if all the above prophecies were shown to be inaccurate? Therefore, Watchtower began to teach that Christ actually returned in 1914 and began to reign spiritually on earth through their organization. This teaching continues today. I'm not sure how they deal with the following verses from the Holy Bible.
"Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven." Acts 1:11
Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:44
For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will repay each person according to what he has done. Matthew 16:27
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14:1-3
Hebrews 9:28 – So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Titus 2:13 – Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 – For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Revelation 1:7 – Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
It doesn't take a rocket scientists to see that Watchtower has been wrong repeatedly. Why choose to believe something that clearly contradicts what the Bible teaches? I can't answer that. I do know that for those who join the "organization," these teachings prevent them from looking for the blessed hope of His appearing as we are instructed to do. It is good to remember Christ's words and know that every eye will see Him upon His return:
Matthew 24: 23 At that time, if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There He is,' do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. 25 See, I have told you in advance.
Also see (Mark 13:24-27; Luke 21:25-28)
26 So if they tell you, 'There He is in the wilderness,' do not go out; or, 'Here He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Portrait of a childhood friend based on my memories. There was a different time, we had other dreams and we were happy. But our lives were very different from our dreams ... the historical events changed our lives for unforeseen paths! Today, when I think of those times I think they are of another life!
I am a Portuguese visual artist and I live in Chile Some time ago, when I was in Portugal, someone ask me to write what I thought of my artwork. This was what I wrote: �Latitudes and Attitudes� Latitude imposed In me, there is also the spirit of the Portuguese sailors and adventurers. It all starts with the journey imposed from the old world, the colonial Portugal to Mozambique, in Africa, full of black ethnicity , magic, shapes, textures, lights and a fantastic colorful splendor .The distance between my dormant origins and the sudden awakening does not exhaust the endless question: Who am I? I experiment this fabulous latitude, mixing it with other lives, other pains, with the purity of color and pattern of tiles they call...

A Leeds dance company will stage a major revival of one of its earliest works from 1983 as part of its 35th anniversary celebration.
Phoenix Dance Theatre, which is the UK's longest standing contemporary dance company outside London, will breathe new life into Nightlife at the Flamingo.
The work will be performed as part of the company's 35th anniversary celebration, Phoenix @ Home, at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre this autumn.
Choreographed by Edward Lynch, who also danced in the original production, Nightlife at the Flamingo premiered in Leeds in 1983 under the company's first artistic director David Hamilton.
Mr Lynch said: "Phoenix has a long standing history in promoting the development of young northern dancers, I'm excited to welcome the next generation of talent to perform alongside the professional company.
"It is important to recognise that in the 80s Phoenix Dance Company changed the cultural context of British dance and it's an honour to be reviving this piece for the same transformative company 35 years on."
Originally set in an American nightclub, the piece integrated popular culture and modern dance performed by five dancers with scenes depicting 1940s' dance hall alongside typical 1980s' club dance.
For this revived anniversary performance the work will be updated by Mr Lynch and will feature up to 35 dancers.
Influenced by their dance teachers from school, notably the late Nadine Senior, the then called Phoenix Dance Company was formed in 1981 by David Hamilton, Donald Edwards and Vilmore James. From its genesis in Harehills Phoenix quickly achieved national acclaim.

Recently when a close one offered donation to our Foundation, Shalini asked them to become our partners instead. Partnering with the Foundation means committing assistance to support on-going or new outreach programs on a regular basis. They replied that they did not want to get into a long-term commitment, though she explained to them what benefits the partnership could bring to them as well as the Foundation. Later they agreed and said yes to it.
However, a thought crossed my mind as to why some people did not want to partner with whereas some readily partnered the Foundation. I wasn't still satisfied in my heart. I prayed to God as to how should we tell people to partner with us willingly and the answer I got was a Revelation!
As human beings we are committed to our body, and that's a life-long commitment but fulfilled every day through meals, exercise and many other activities. For us it is that important! If we do not do so, imagine what kind of health we would have. The commitment to share and to give is actually the food or investment for the Soul. When we do not commit food in long-term for our soul, what happens? The Soul is not fed regularly and you can easily visualize frail, weak souls moving all around.
Long term commitment of giving brings health to your soul and it gets strengthened in God. So when adversities try to beat you down, even though you had long term commitment with your body it does not help. It is only the strong soul that can withstand and outdo your trials, and make you win, not your body. To realize God a strong soul is required, and if you want that, feed it regularly by sharing what you have with others, in long-term!- Vinay Mehta

Consumers can find complaint letter templates at the official USA and Georgia websites. A complaint letter describes a problem a consumers has experienced with a product or service, then asks for a specific remedy.
In addition to the complaint letter text, these communications often include photocopies of receipts, bank statements and other supporting documentation to bolster the author's case. Complaint letters can still be sent through the postal mail, but it is becoming increasingly common to send them via email instead.
When sending a complaint letter through the postal service, consumers should request proof of delivery. This can be used to later prove that the recipient actually read the letter.


text: Stella is a comedy group made up of 3 people who used to be on MTV's The State (hopefully someone remembers that, it was a really great sketch comedy show back in the early 90's). These guys also made Wet Hot American Summer, one of the funniest movies ever made. They have a bunch of short videos (none are longer than 8 or 9 minutes), and most of them are really hilarious. Check them out here. They require Quicktime and a fast connection. My personal favorites are Wiffleball, College Reunion, Office Party, Turkey Hunting, and David's Cousin. I should warn you that they all have a lot of bad language and some very adult situations, not safe for work and not good for little kids.

Cherry Was All Focusing On RemakesMar 24, 2016 04:06 AM
Ram Charan Tej seems to be smitten by remakes, of late. As known, he is currently preparing for the remake of the Tamil hit Thani Oruvan. The mega power star is on rigorous work outs and strict diet regime to shape up for the character. He will be playing a fierce cop in this action thriller to be directed by Surender Reddy. The makers titled in Rakshak tentatively. On the other hand, Ram Charan will produce Chiranjeevi 151st film which is also a remake of Tamil film, Kaththi.
Again, Charan appears to have picked up a remake for his next venture. As per reliable sources, Cherry is keen on acquiring rights of Bollywood flick, Rocky Handsome. The John Abraham starrer is gearing up for release. Shruti Haasan who is the female lead of this Hindi film got to narrate the story to Charan and the mega hero was excited by the idea of remaking it.
Shruti Haasan is also likely to pair Charan for the second time for Rakshak.

CHESS WIZARDS UB's Mendoza (left) and Vinluan (middle) will represent the country in the Asian Youth Chess Championship
while International Master Pascua (right) will compete in the Philippine Sports Commission Cup for his Grandmaster title bid.
University of Baguio High School students Bea Mendoza and Brylle Gever Vinluan will represent the country anew in the 2014 Asian Youth Chess Championship to be held in New Delhi, India on Nov. 6-14.
The duo qualified for the Asian tilt by winning their respective divisions in the selection tournament organized by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines held last May in Manila.
It will be the second stint for Mendoza in the tournament, having represented the country last year in Iran. The top player will again compete in the under-14 years division. On the other hand, Vinluan will make his debut in the prestigious event and will play in the under-16 years open division.
The two represented the country last June in the 15th ASEAN+ Age Group Chess Championship held in Macau. Vinluan bagged three gold medals while Mendoza won two silvers and one bronze in the said event.
Other members of the six-man Philippine team are National Master Giovanni Mejia of La Salle, National Woman Master Karen Enriquez of the National University, Shania Mendoza and John Merill Jacutina, both from Far Eastern University.
Meanwhile, UB's International Master Haridas Pascua will battle it out in the Philippine Sports Commission Cup in Manila on Dec. 4-20 – which will cover two tournaments – in his attempt to pick up the Grandmaster (GM) title, the highest awarded by the World Chess Federation. Pascua, 21, needs to earn three GM norms for him to be awarded the GM title.
Pascua currently has an Elo rating of 2400. Grandmasters have a rating of at least 2500. Titles generally require a combination of Elo rating (method of calculating the relative skills of players) and norms (performance benchmarks in competitions including other titled players). Once awarded, the titles are held for life.
The UB chess team is coached by Engr. Joseph Codiaman and Ronaldo Alvez of the UB Athletics Department headed by its director Eduardo Laureano.

Upgrading of Rooibos Ltd's main processing line - final phaseNews ArchiveUpgrading of Rooibos Ltd's main processing line
Rooibos Ltd's Operational Manager, Johan Cronj, reports on the company's upgrade activities: "We have weathered the worst part of the storm. The only machine in the mainstream processing line that needs to be installed is the palletiser. This should be finished in November. We have, however, seen what the new pasteuriser dryer can do and our production potential is better than ever. We realise that continuous improvement is the only way to survive in a highly competitive market. Once our mainstream processing line has been sorted out, we will immediately reschedule the smaller projects that had to be postponed."

Congressman Ted Poe recently submitted the following response to a misleading editorial that incorrectly stated the Congressmans opinion on President Obamas place of birth and the intent of pending legislation that is aimed to quell future controversies over the Constitutional requirement for the Office of the President. However, the Chronicle has declined to print the following response as of today, August 3,2009:
The Chronicle once again incorrectly stated my opinion. Ironically, on Tuesday of this week I was asked by the Chronicle if I believed that President Obama was born outside the United States. My response in writing was in part: I have never said President Obama was born anywhere but the United States. In addition, I recently voted in support of a resolution honoring Hawaiis 50th anniversary of statehood that included language reaffirming Hawaii as President Obamas place of birth. The Chronicle blatantly chose to omit these facts.
The media, including the Chronicle, seem to be obsessed with this issue as they continually misrepresent the facts in an effort to tie pending legislation pertaining to future elections to President Obama. The legislation simply defines the Constitutional requirements of the Office of the President by requiring all candidates to file a birth certificate in future presidential elections, thus having nothing to do with President Obama.
Because this is not the first controversy, we should ensure it is the last. President Chester Arthurs birthplace was rumored to be Canada. Others included: Barry Goldwater, born in the Arizona territory; George Romney, born in a Mormon colony in Mexico; and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., born in Canada. The New York Times, not exactly a birther paper, questioned Senator McCains eligibility after learning he was born on a US military base in the Panama Canal Zone.
So to end any future questions, we should do what Little Leagues all across our country do and require a birth certificate at the time of registration.
NOTE: This legislation was filed in March of 2009. It applies to all candidates equally in all future presidential elections beginning in 2012; and is not retro-active.

Port, WWU initiate plans for waterfront land transfers
by BBJ Staff
Filed on 19. Jun, 2013 in Contents
Western Washington University and the Port of Bellingham are moving ahead with plans to transfer waterfront land into a shared development entity, and facilitate the purchase of waterfront property by WWU.
According to a recently approved agreement, the port will transfer six acres of Waterfront District land between the Downtown Development Area and the Log Pond Development Area into a shared development entity called Western Crossing Development. In exchange, WWU will transfer in a 24-acre parcel of land at the intersection of Hannegan Road and Bakerview Road.
Once the Hannegan property is sold, the value of the Hannegan land sale will be assigned to the university and the value of the waterfront parcel will be assigned to the port, within the shared development entity.
"Having Western on the waterfront will add tremendous value to the Waterfront District because it will enhance Western's connections with the community and will attract developer investment," said Port Commissioner Scott Walker, who also serves on the board of Western Crossing, said in a statement. "Western is the second largest employer in Whatcom county, and that economic engine and student population has a large impact on local businesses."
WWU's Board of Trustees and the port's Board of Commissioners each agreed to the memorandum of understanding , which is a broad framework agreement between the Port and Western that defines how land can be moved into Western Crossing Development, in order to enable development of the WWU presence in the Waterfront District.
Western Crossing's board unanimously approved the memorandum.
"We are pleased and excited about this critically important MOU that moves Western closer to being part of what will be a dynamic development of the Bellingham waterfront," said WWU President Bruce Shepard, in a statement. "Western has been committed to a presence at the waterfront since community discussions and planning first began in 2006, and that commitment is being lived out by the acquisition of property in the Waterfront District. The eventual expansion of our campus to the waterfront creates possibilities for new partnerships and collaborations for Western and community partners."
In addition to WWU acquiring a tract of land at the waterfront, the memorandum also states that the university may lease building space from a developer in the 10.8-acre parcel the port now is offering for private development parcels. This could establish WWU as an early tenant for the Waterfront District.

All eight Harry Potter movies in two days? That would be a long haul. I'll see the final Harry Potter movie, but I'd rather see the past movies at home.

Tontines, viatical life insurance and other death related words are a subject of intense interest to the living. Life insurance is the most common of death benefits and is usually touted as the ultimate gift to grieving families. It will pay for the funerary costs and, if the heirs are lucky, leave a little or a lot besides. A whole host of other schemes have been devised to play on the same fears and hopes of the aged and their heirs. They include tontines, viatical settlements and "en viager" agreements.
It's true that for those fortunate enough to be on the receiving side of these agreements, the rewards can be substantial. Still, one wonders if these windfalls are just "dust in the wind" and the real winners are those who have passed on.
In any event, here are some of the more popular financial schemes that pass and have passed as retirement planning now and in the not too distant past.
Another financial tool for raising capital, the tontine was introduced in the late 17th century and has enjoyed enormous and ongoing popularity for the over 300 years. The basic premise involves investing a sum of money in return for a dual benefit annuity. In the first [place, the funds are invested and the investors receive an annual dividend. In addition, upon the death of the penultimate member, the final surviving member is entitled to the entire capital investment.
The tontine has been used as a plot device in innumerable novels, plays and films. Even The Simpsons have devoted an episode, "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Granson, " to the concept. Although outlawed in most of the Western world, the tontine is still recognized as a valuable financial instrument and is in use throughout the world today.
Viatical Settlements
A viatical settlement, or simply viatical, is the sale of your existing life insurance death benefit for more than its surrender value but less than the death benefit. Typically, only whole life policies are interesting to investors as term policies can expire before the death of the insured.
The latest rage for viatical settlements came into being and peaked ruing the AIDS epidemic in the U.S. in the 1980s. An unfortunate combination of circumstances left young, gay men with an significant asset. With no young children or spouses, their insurance would, in most cases, pay benefits to people who didn't actually need the funds.
In stepped investors, who offered to pay more than the current value of the policy but less than it value on the death of the insured. In this way, the insured could reap most of the benefits of the policy.
As in any other human endeavor, bad actors entered the fray. Many life insurance policies were obtained under false pretenses by terminal patients and then sold for gain. These actions gained a measure of notoriety for viaticals but, today, the policies are now more studiously scrutinized and are an important financial tool for terminally ill patients.
"En Viager " or Payments "For Life"
Another fascinating, death-related, financial activity called "en viager" is confined almost exclusively to France. The practice involves the transfer of a piece of real estate. Instead of an outright sale, however, the buyer makes a much smaller one-time payment and then pays rent to the owner. Upon the owners death, the real estate becomes the property of the buyer.
The practice is common and popular in France as a way to unlock the assets of a home without having to move. The gamble, for both participants, is on how long the current owner will live. The upside is that the owner has a guaranteed income for life and the buyer can possibly obtain a property at a significantly reduced rate.
The process works well in practice although much has been made of some extraordinary outcomes. In one particular instance, in 1965, a 47 year old man purchased an "en viager" from a 90 year old woman who smoked and drank. 30 years later, the buyer died and the woman lived on, become the oldest living person in France and then died, happily we presume, two years later. The buyers widow ended up with the property.
Life Insurance
Arguably, not a scheme, life insurance provides many benefits in the 21st century. Still, it has not always been put the best use.
Technically, "insurance" is coverage for a event that might happen whereas "assurance" is coverage for an event that will happen. In the United States, purportedly to avopid confusion, both insurance has come to cover both situations. In any event, the death of the insured triggers payment of the benefit.
A double indemnity insurance policy simply multiplies the death benefit if the insured is killed by accidental means. Contrary to the premise of the famous Billy Wilder movie, the policy pays in the event of murder by anyone other than the beneficiary but does not cover suicide.
Life insurance has been the object of many treacherous schemes. Besides outright murder and faking your own death, there is now "stranger-owned" life insurance. As the name implies, the insured is given an up-front benefit, usually in the form of a non-recourse loan to satisfy some legal considerations, and the death benefit accrues to a third party. The accumulation of these policies that are then sold to investors is the origin for the term "dead pool."
These types of policies have been around since the mid 18th century but they took an unscrupulous twist when several institutions of higher learning, who were actually encrusted with safeguarding the welfare of their students, took out policies on those same students.
As part of their admittance package, students signed a document allowing the university to obtain a life insurance policy against their death. Once discovered, the subsequent public uproar ended the practicein the mid 1990s.
You Still Can't Take It with You
All of these financial instruments have had their day in the sun and each has been abused by the unscrupulous. It is the human condition to look for gain without the concomitant pain. The overwhelming problem with these schemes is that many of the beneficiaries are reluctant to wait for the insured's appointed time. Instead, they take matters into their own hands and, usually, pay the consequences when caught.
Still, these investments can and do play an important part in the life of the living and will continue do so as long as there is death.
