The Timex Story
Timex Group B.V. is one of this best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters will be located in Middlebury Connecticut and also it has substantial operations in China, this Philippines and also India and also full scale sales companies in Canada, this UK, France and also Mexico.
The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during this nineteenth century as this "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured this first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had just just become popular, and also in 1933 it made history by creating this first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing this time.
During World War II, Waterbury renamed alone U.S. Time Company. In 1950 this company introduced a wristwatch called this Timex. Over this next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durcapability by putting this watch through "torture tests," such as falling over this Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to this propeller of an outboard motor, with this slogan "It takes a licking and also keeps on ticking." Using the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and also, to date, has sold over one billion watches.
The company has remained very competitive and also this Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains this United States and also Canada, although this Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its capability to capitalize on its strong brand image and also reputation for quality.
One of this most successful and also important functions available on many Timex watches is this Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in this Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo lamp uniformly lights this surface of this Timex's watch dials in a manner which makes this dial read very easily in many various light setting ups. In some newer watches this Indiglo backlight just lights up this numbers, rather than this entire LCD screen, which is achieved by means of a specialized film which inverts this LCD transmissivity.
Today, Timex Group products will be manufactured in this Far East and also in Switzerland often based on technology which continues to become developed in this United States and also in Germany. Using a large and also varied line of watches, Timex has this style for everyone. From this locker room to this board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

Hi, and welcome to this full and frank Lottery Winner University review where we'll be answering the only question that matters:
Is Lottery Winner University a scam or a winning lotto strategy?
The chances of winning the lottery are 1 in 14 million but Richard Lustig says he's won the grand prize 7 times.
Is he the luckiest man on the planet or is there an underlying method at play here?
Because if there is, I want to know about it!
According to Lustig, his winning streak was nothing to do with luck, but because he's developed a method that works.
That's a pretty bold claim! In my never-ending quest to find new and exciting ways to make money online, I knew I just had to try this out and see for myself.
Here's what I found out.
Lottery Winner University Review Overview
Product Name: Lottery Winner University
Website: LotteryWinnerUniversity.com
Created By: Richard Lustig
Price: $49/month
Upsells: $255 + $7.99/Month
Self-proclaimed lottery guru Richard Lustig claims to have discovered the secret formula to winning big on the lotto – secrets he's willing to share with you, for a price.
With so many upsells it's clear the owners of Lottery Winner University are looking to squeeze as much cash out of you as possible.
The truth is the lottery is a game of chance and no special strategy or bad math will change that. Their very own disclaimer says this will do nothing to increase your odds of winning.

What We'll Cover In This Review:
What Is Lottery Winner University About?
Lottery Winner University is the latest of many programs to come from Richard Lustig, a 7-time state-sponsored lottery winner who won over $1 million between 1993 and 2010.
Rather than enjoy his winnings quietly he's made quite a career for himself as the 'go-to lottery guy' news networks like to invite on before a big rollover game.
Here he is as a guest on HuffPost Live promoting his 40 page book, Learn How To Increase Your Chances of Winning The Lottery, still selling today on Amazon at $40 a pop:
In total, Richard Lustig has won exactly $1,052,205.58 (before taxes) though it's important to point out his last win was way back in 2010.
Here's a full breakdown:
- Jan 1993: $10,000 (scratch-off ticket)
- Aug 1997: $13,696.03 (Florida Fantasy 5)
- June 2000: Holiday to LA (approx. value of $3,600)
- Oct 2001: Holiday to Memphis, value $4,966 (scratch-off ticket 2nd chance draw)
- Jan 2002: $842,152.91 (Florida Mega Money)
- Nov 2008: $73,658.06 (Florida Fantasy 5)
- Aug 2010: $98,992.92 (Florida Fantasy 5)
With all of his winnings, a good and logical question to ask would be why is he going to all that effort of writing and selling books and courses?
Before Lottery Winning University, Richard was behind other online courses like Lotto Dominator, Lotto Magic and Lotto Crusher System.
The truth is, despite Richard claiming to have studied different and strategies until he found a method that worked, his moderate wins came after playing the lottery religiously day after day.
Some would say he's an addicted gambler, having spent the vast majority of his Florida Mega Money winnings ($842,152.91) on lottery tickets chasing the next big jackpot.
When asked about exactly how much he's spent on lottery tickets and scratch cards, you'll notice he's never quite able to give a straight answer.
What Do You Get And How Much Does It Cost?
Lottery Winner University is a $49 a month recurring membership site with 6 months' worth of short video lessons. (We'll talk about the upsells in a minute.)
The way the site is structured means you'll only get access to the first month's lesson and have to wait for 30 days to pass before month 2 is unlocked and so on…
As for the course itself, it's not good…
Sure, there are a few helpful tips like when he talks about keeping your old losing tickets for possible future tax breaks on possible future winnings, but if you're expecting something new and different you'll be left feeling disappointed.
Of the short videos I watched (no longer than 5 minutes) I didn't hear anything you couldn't find out for free by doing a quick search on Google.
There was a section called the Scratch Off Secrets System which didn't even make any sense. Richard believes that buying 10 scratch cards in a row gives you higher odds than buying 10 random scratch cards for example. Completely illogical.
The only redeeming factor here is the fact Lottery Winner University is covered by the ClickBank 60-day money back guarantee. I have a feeling you might want to take advantage of this once you see inside the member's area.
Though I should tell you at this point that the 60-day guarantee only covers your initial $49 payment and not the subsequent monthly payments or any upsells you buy into – and there are a few of them.
Let's take a quick look at each one.
Upsell 1: 1-on-1 Phone Coaching ($197)
Before you even reach the member's area you're hit with the first upsell. Pay $197 and you're told you'll get unlimited call coaching with Richard Lustig himself for a whole month.
Upsell 2: Richard's Top 10 Lottery Secrets ($19)
Next, you're offered this eBook that's supposed to learn the methods Richard uses personally so you can 'skyrocket your odds' and 'enjoy the highest chances of winning.'
Upsell 3: Richards Top Lottery Secrets ($39)
No you're not seeing double here, Richard's selling 2 different books, one called 'Richard's Top 10 Secrets' and the other is simple, 'Richard's Top Lottery Secrets'.
How weird is that?
Upsell 4: Lottery Pool ($7.99/month)
And last but not least, the final upsell is for membership of a site called LottoLishus.com which calls itelf the largets lottery pool in the world.
3 Lottery Winner University Secrets Exposed!
1. Richard's math doesn't quite add up…
Picking a set of numbers for the lottery isn't like playing poker or chess. It's not a game of skill but of pure luck.
Richard Lustig has developed methods that don't actually increase your odds at all.
Let me show you his core ideas and you'll see what I mean. There are basically 2 parts to his lotto method:
a) Pick your own numbers
According to Richard's logic, the reason most people don't win the lottery is that they buy quick-pick tickets. He says by picking your own set of numbers you'll be more likely to hit the jackpot.
The chances of any particular set of 6 balls being drawn out of 49 is 1 in 13,983,816. That's nearly 14 million!
Whether you could pick all odds or all even numbers, pick numbers at random or pick every 7th number – the chances of any 6 numbers being drawn is still 1 in 13,983,816. This never changes.
b) Keep using the same numbers combinations until you win
This pretty much sums up the whole strategy – you pick a set of numbers and stick with it until it wins when you change the combination.
Again, this in no ways changes the odds and defies basic mathematics. Richard's assuming that a set of numbers is less likely to come up if they've been drawn before but he's assuming balls have a memory when they don't.
2. Lottery Winner University is the same old course, just rebranded
For someone who's won the lottery so many times, he sure is putting a lot of effort into trying to sell his lottery-busting techniques.
I'd probably go as far as saying he's probably made more money selling books and monthly subscription courses than he ever has playing the lotto.
Check out the LotteryWinnerUniversity.com homepage compared to his previous product Richard's Lottery Secrets and you'll see they're pretty much identical.
It's hard to tell them apart right?
The website layout is the same, and both have the same "This video is very controversial" warning message. Even the sales videos are the same.
As I say, for someone who's claiming to be a millionaire, he sure is pushing hard to sell his secrets.
3. The disclaimer says it all
Despite the scammy marketing and fake hyped-up promises, Lotter Winner University will not teach you how to win the lottery, I mean how can it when it's a game of chance?
Check out what it says at the bottom of the their website:
Legal Disclaimer: Most of the Lottery Winner University customers will not win the lottery, and you should not expect to win the lottery by purchasing Lottery Winner University or following the program.
Anyone who decides to pay the monthly membership fee for this site should know that it's purely for entertainment purposes and won't actually increase your chances of winning the lottery at all.
Is Lottery Winner University A Scam?
Yes – Lottery Winner University is a scam in my opinion.
I highly recommend you do NOT sign up to the $49/month membership fee.
They market this product using deceptive practices to intentionally mislead people into thinking there's a method you can follow to increase your odds of hitting the jackpot.
The lottery is a random selection of numbers and no self-proclaimed lottery guru with a so-called special strategy can change that.
Want some honest advice?
Rather than gambling with the lotto, you'd be way better off sticking that money into a savings account. At an interest rate of 8%, after 40 years you would have $38,000 sitting in that account.
Now that's a guranteed $38k jackpot you can count on right there!
Why I don't bother playing the lottery anymore
I get that for most people the lottery is just a bit of fun and that no-one actually expects to win, but even the tiniest possibility is enough to lure people back week after week.
For me, I don't like to leave things to chance, especially when it comes to my financial future.
Which is exactly why I started my first online business in 2014 which is now generating me more than $7,000 a month. Luck had nothing to do with it!
I just followed the right step-by-step training, asked for help when I needed it and worked hard to make it happen.

Stone-effect tiles are another area where tile designers are really utilising the full potential of advanced digital decoration. Once again the key to the aesthetic impact of today's tile ranges lies in the ability to combine beautiful, naturalistic colours with sophisticated surface textures, including 3D relief tiles.
I could have chosen one of a number of new entrants from Italy, but I have to admit that I really liked FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti's promotional photographs. Like a Constable landscape, the use of a flash of red in every image, really helps to bring the photographs to life. And the tile range is pretty spectacular in its own right.
FMG's new Trax range reinterprets the attraction and natural warmth of stone in a contemporary light. The use of advanced production technologies has resulted in a hi-tech ceramic product offering authentic looks and outstanding performance.
Trax comes in five evocative hues, in a vast range of sizes, with four different finishes faithfully interpreting the wealth of grooves, marks and veins on stone.
I particularly like the Silky finish which adds a genteel touch to surfaces with an unusually soft feel. At the same time, the Rigato finish underlines the slabs' material qualities with an attractive 3D effect.
There are five colour options: white, greige, beige, brown and dark.
An item on Trax will appear in Tile & Stone Journal, February 2017, page 68.

Spinal cord injury causes myelopathy or damage to white matter or myelinated fiber tracts that carry sensation and motor signals to and from the brain. It also damages gray matter in the central part of the spinal, causing segmental losses of interneurons and motorneurons. Spinal cord injury can occur from many causes, including:
Trauma such as automobile crashes, falls, gunshots, diving accidents, etc.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling. The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur. In fact, in most people with SCI, the spinal cord is intact, but the damage to it results in loss of functioning. SCI is very different from back injuries such as ruptured disks, spinal stenosis or pinched nerves.
A person can "break their back or neck" yet not sustain a spinal cord injury if only the bones around the spinal cord (the vertebrae) are damaged, but the spinal cord is not affected. In these situations, the individual may not experience paralysis after the bones are stabilized. If the spinal cord is damaged, the person may experience various degrees of paralysis based upon where the injury to the cord occurred.
If you have been injured in any type of accident and suffered spinal cord damage, I encourage you to contact my office for a free evaluation.

Wondering what the most important books are.
People say we don't need books since we have the internet. If you take care of a book, it will last for ever, but there has been times when I turned on the computer and there was no internet. The internet goes down at times and there are still places that it can't be accessed. But, I would be the first to admit that I would be lost without the internet.
OK, I am going to keep this short, since we have to get ready to take the dogs to the groomer this morning and then will probably make a quick trip to town for some supplies. I am really curious, so let me know the two books you would pick.
11 comments:
Shoot, only 2? I got to have at a minimum 3ReplyDelete
The Christian Bible, The Jewish Torah, and the Foxfire first book.
Hmm, just two? Again, this is hard to narrow down... I'm going to pick the bible (far to easy, but there it is), and....dangit.... Really, just one more? Fine, how about Bradford Angier's "Skills for Taming the Wilds, A Handbook of Woodcraft Wisdom". Seriously, it starts out with "you have a knife" and ends with "You have a warm, safe, sound cabin, with a full tool kit, soft bed, sturdy furniture, and full pantry." If I had a few more options, I think I would put an as of yet undecided book about home made wind generators (otherpower.com?), and truly made from scratch 2 way radios. Like, make your own vacuum tube from a baby food jar made from scratch.ReplyDelete
In order, Spiritual Foundation, Physical well being, electrical comforts and communication. I think that is all we really need. Any suggestions for that last book?
I would also have to say the Bible, and the other would have to be Wild America. Love the outdoors and all who live there.ReplyDelete
There is just no way,,,to EVER name TWO!!!ReplyDelete
I have the American Heritage College Dictionary that I would hate to be without. Time and time again it has proven more complete and accurate than any online dictionary I've ever looked at.ReplyDelete
As for a 2nd book, I have quite a few other non-fiction and reference books, but wouldn't be able to say I couldn't do without any of them. But I have a big box of maps - all the states of the US and provinces of Canada, plus regional maps, and those of national forests & parks that I refer to a lot. So maybe my box of maps would be 2nd, but of course that isn't a book!
"The Four Agreements" Don Miguel Ruiz and The complete works of Edgar Allen Poe.ReplyDelete
I'm afraid I'd have to choose the Bible and as book called "How to repair anything".ReplyDelete
That's a hard choice this morning, that's for sure!
Wow, everyone has such good answers.ReplyDelete
Ben, I believe that the first Foxfire book was the best of all of them. Living in western PA, it was only a short drive to Appalachia.
Grant, I didn't say you had to rough it, just could have only two books to read. For my second book, I picked the Machinery's Handbook because I have a couple and they give useful information on almost everything mechanical, physical properties, equations, etc. I use them both a lot.
Trouble, sorry, I know it would be a hard decision.
Gypsy, I agree with the dictionary and maps, except I did not pick them because I use spell checkers a lot and maps can be quickly found on the internet, where as, I have searched for info on the internet and gave up and looked it up in the Machinery's Handbook. If the internet is down or inaccessible, it usually can be accessed at a later time or position.
Frann, of all, I would have thought that you would agree with me on the Handbook. I am sure you had one at one time, being a Machinist.
HJ, yep, I need that book on "How to Repair Anything". Bet you would need a one ton truck to haul it around.
The only responsibility that a man cannot evade in this life is the one he thinks of least,--his personal influence. Man's conscious influence, when he is on dress-parade, when he is posing to impress those a round him,--is woefully small. But his unconscious influence, the silent, subtle radiation of his personality, the effect of his words and acts, the trifles he never considers,--is tremendous. Every moment of life he is changing to a degree the life of the whole world. Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other. So silent and unconsciously is this influence working, that man may forget that it exists. Just a thoughtReplyDelete
Ted, that is wonderfully profound statement. You write beautifully. You have a gift.ReplyDelete
The printing press was a 'High Tech' piece of machinery at one time. It is not surprising that the very first book printed was the Bible. No other book compares with it.ReplyDelete
It bases its veracity upon its ability to predict the future. It has done so 100 % of the time with a 100% rate of accuracy. Sometimes the predictions were only a few days hence, and other times it was hundreds of years the accuracy rate remains unchanged.
I find it remarkable that with perfect success rate that some folks pay it no mind at all!
Back to 'High Tech!'
I have the bible on my computer in 13 different versions. I can stare and compare each one side by side. Included among my collection is the bible in 4 other languages, only two of which I understand.
Then there is the Kindle. Room for 3,500 books here. I love to read books on my Kindle. I bring it with me when I eat out, and read while awaiting the food to arrive.
I am reading once again, 'Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, but this time, I'm reading it on the Kindle.

Every day is an awesome day at JW but this month we celebrated a JW Grows week! This annual event is when our teachers are out and about learning from each other in the classroom!
Each teacher selects a certain subject or topic they would like to improve and observe in action. Word study, math instruction, or classroom management are just a few examples. Then, this week each teacher was able to go to a classroom and observe colleagues in action. After this observation, teachers spend time debriefing with our instructional coaches. This allows teachers an opportunity to reflect on what they just saw and how they can apply it in their classroom.
The staff at JW Reason firmly believes that teachers should be learning and growing along with our students. JW Grows gives us that opportunity to do just that.

White Wizard Progressive Slot November 20, 2017

The reels are set against a backdrop of stars where you will find the White Wizard with his long beard on the left-hand-side of the screen. Symbols appearing on the reels of White Wizard Progressive Slot include a bubbling cauldron, a magic wand, a spell book, the white wizard, a chubby blue dragon, a unicorn, and high-ranking cards such as 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A.

Spanning the miles. Reaching across the centuries. The United States and Canada – two countries that share the world's longest undefended border – have stood as staunch allies in times of War and peace. On July 4, 2012, the establishment of the southernmost Binational Peace Garden in St. Marys (next to historic Oak Grove Cemetery) further united these two great nations.
The Binational Alliance and the Peace Garden Trail project were formed in 2000 in order to promote and expand cross-border tourism between Canada and the United States. One way in which this mandate is being carried out is through a series of Peace Gardens located throughout Canada and America.
St. Marys' Binational Peace Garden Sister City is Fort Erie, Ontario (located directly across the Niagara River from Buffalo, New York).
One might wonder what two such seemingly disparate locations as St. Marys and Fort Erie have in common. But they are bound by mutual history, a world of water, and two nations united by the flow of tourists that cross the Peace Bridge (located in Fort Erie) between the United States and Canada. Annual tourism for the Peace Bridge translates to more than 6 million vehicles per year and $40 billion in tourism and trade. With St. Marys featured on the sign at the entrance to the Peace Bridge, those millions of tourists will now be introduced to Fort Erie's Binational Peace Garden Sister City over a thousand miles away.
Roughly 22 million people visit the Niagara region (and the Peace Gardens) each year. "Visit Florida" (the state's official tourism marketing agency) estimates that approximately 3.05 million Canadians visited Florida in 2010. According to the Georgia Department of Economic Development Tourism Division, Canada is the #1 origin market and is #1 for visitor spending for international travelers to Georgia. In 2010, the Canadian Consulate reported that over 421,000 Canadians visited Georgia and spent an estimated $99 million while here. It's forecast that Canada is to account for 31% of the projected international tourism growth through 2016. A few more Canada-Georgia facts:
- 249,200 jobs in Georgia depend on Canada–U.S. trade
- 156 Canadian-owned companies in Georgia employ 19,430 people
- Georgia sells more goods to Canada than to any other country in the world
- Total Canada–U.S. goods and services trade: $627 billion
But those are just numbers. Let's pause to consider what has created this Sister City partnership.
Within St. Marys historic Oak Grove Cemetery is the final resting place of the Acadians who were driven by the British from Acadia (an area that encompassed Quebec and portions of the Maritime provinces). After years of sorrow, fear and loss, they found refuge in St. Marys in the late 1700s.
In 1812, the United States declared War on the British Empire. Fierce and bloody battles took place around the Great Lakes and the Niagara region. An American army under the command of General William Hull invaded Canada on July 12. Once on Canadian soil, Hull issued a proclamation ordering all British subjects to surrender, or "the horrors, and calamities of War will stalk before you."
On July 17, British Rear Admiral George Cockburn recommended Washington as a prime target, because of the comparative ease of attack and "the greater political effect likely to result." August 24, 1814: after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force occupied Washington D.C. and set fire to many public buildings. The facilities of the U.S. government, including the White House and U.S. Capitol, were largely destroyed.
Admiral Cockburn went on to wage further havoc—this time in a small and sleepy coastal town known as St. Marys. Held after the December 1814 signing of the Treaty of Ghent, the "Forgotten Battle of the War of 1812" began when Cockburn anchored off Cumberland Sound that same month. January 10, 1815 brought the arrival of HMS Dragon and by January 11, the British had landed in force to plan their attack.
On January 13, five days after General Jackson's defeat of the British in the Battle of New Orleans, the British landed at Kings Bay Plantation and made their way north to Fort Point Peter, just minutes from St. Marys downtown waterfront. U.S. Captain Abraham Massias had left only 36 men to defend the fort, and the battle was over by late evening as Point Peter fell to Cockburn and his 1500 troops. The British forces proceeded on: ending their occupation only after looting downtown St. Marys and burning the fort to the ground.
After refusing to hand over more than $120,000 in currency and bonds, U.S. Major Archibald Clark, St. Marys customs collector, was imprisoned aboard the HMS Primrose, anchored in Cumberland Sound. Admiral Cockburn occupied Clark's home on the main street of St. Marys until the British departure in 1815. Clark's home still stands on Osborne Street, the oldest private residence in St. Marys, and the widow of one of Clark's descendants still occupies the home.
The War of 1812 began in Canada and ended in St. Marys, Georgia, with the Battle of Point Peter. Add to that the history of the Acadians, our heritage and our path through time, and there's powerful and compelling mutual history between St. Marys and Fort Erie.
Through the Binational Alliance, St. Marys is now listed on countless websites/social media/print publications (travel and 1812) and is being promoted by the 8,000 writers of the International Travel Writer's Alliance. The St. Marys Peace Garden was profiled at Canada Blooms (North America's largest Home and Garden week-long event) and garnered a great deal of attention from attendees.
Above all, the Peace Garden Trail celebrates 200 years of brotherhood between two nations—Canada and the United States. For two centuries they have stood shoulder to shoulder in times of War and peace. They have turned to one another when help was needed, celebrated their victories, mourned their losses, and shared a culture that is far more notable for its similarities than its differences. Together the United States and Canada have walked through history and emerged as allies and friends.
The St. Marys Binational Peace Garden dedication occurred on July 4, 2012, and included local, state and international dignitaries, Arlene White, the Executive Director of the Binational Alliance, Robert Pengelly, Consul, the Consulate General of Canada in Atlanta, Georgia, a Naval color guard, the unveiling of the commemorative signage, and musical performances. Both nations' flags now fly proudly in the serene greenspace as a salute to lasting peace.

The power of scent marketing'╝ÜEmpowering businesses, enhancing brands
Online ads appeal to the sense of sight. Printed flyers appeal to the sense of touch. Radio advertisements appeal to the sense of sound. Free food samples appeal to the sense of taste. A business may appeal to any combination of these senses in order to earn a consumerŌĆÖs business, but thereŌĆÖs one sense many marketers are missing: smell.
Smell has a profound effect on our memories and emotions. The smell of a burning fire may remind a person of a past camping trip. The scent of lavender may calm a person after a long day. Is it far-fetched to say that certain scents may influence the buying habits of consumers? Not at all. In fact, the idea is called ŌĆ£scent marketingŌĆØ and it has been around for years.
As many professionals will tell you, the key to great marketing is to trigger an emotion. Scent marketing does this on a neurological level, even when the consumer is not consciously aware of the scent. ThatŌĆÖs because olfactory receptor cells, which are directly linked to the limbic system, receive smells. The limbic system is the emotional part of our brain, so to speak. It influences mood, memory, and behavior. That means what we smell directly affects how we feel and what we do.
ItŌĆÖs easy to see how this powerful effect on the brain could make scent marketing a great tool for businesses. In fact, real estate agents have been using this technique for ages. When showing a house, agents will often bake cookies and let the smell fill the air. It comforts the potential buyers and helps them imagine living ideal lives in the home.
When employed by other businesses, scent marketing may be used in subtler ways. While the consumer is probably acutely aware of the scent of fresh cookies in a home, a hint of vanilla inside a clothing boutique may be less noticeable and equally effective.
Research from the University of California, Irvine has shown that scents used by retailers can often increase sales, sometimes doubling them. But thereŌĆÖs no one smell that works for all retailers. Context is key. Brands should think about their target audience when designing the perfect scent.
Crearoma are specialist providers of scenting solutions to retail, hospitality, business, and commercial environments. Not only does scenting create a fresh and positive atmosphere, but it has also been scientifically proven to increase brand loyalty, awareness and customer engagement. Speak to us today and discover how Aroma Crearoma can take your brand experience to the next level. ThatŌĆÖs the real meaning of ŌĆ£Creative Aroma, Healthy LifeŌĆØ.

This afternoon I signed the lease on the condo. Then I did the walkthrough with the agent to document all the little, minor things that are "wrong" with the place.
It was after this process that I realized something:
That's right - no phone jacks. None. Not ONE. There are solid switchplates where the phone jacks SHOULD be, but there aren't any actual JACKS in the place. I unscrewed each switchplate - all FIVE of them - hoping that there would be a jack underneath, but nooooooooo. There was only wires. And not the individual colored wires, either - there was only a single bundled wire in white cable.
Dubya Tee Eff??!?
How do you prewire an entire two bedroom apartment and not go the extra, oh I don't know, ONE YARD to actually install the phone jack??
It totally blew me away and now it's bugging THE HELL out of me. I've already received permission to deduct the cost to install the jacks I need out of my next rent check - I called Verizon but their policy is that if the phone line works at the box outside, it's not their responsibility to bring the signal into the actual dwelling (WHATEVER, VERIZON) - so now I just have to find someone to, you know, come out and install the jacks so I can have actual phone service in my brand new condo.
So as of Friday, I no longer have phone service.
Everything else, though, was really nice.Posted by Highwaygirl on February 1, 2006 04:51 PM to the category Day In the Life

Recorded in Las Vegas at MJ Biz Con in November, Charlie Rutherford returns for Political Discourse IV. At the time the tax bill being debated came under the guise of tax reform. We now know that it became simply a tax cut. We discuss the benefit of corporate taxes coming down while unpacking the short-term middle-class tax cuts resulting in those middle-class taxes actually going up over a 10 year period. We discuss killing the State and Local income tax or SALT deduction and it's effects. We discuss the realities facing the Reagan tax cuts- corporate profits being low and interest rates being high- the opposite of the current economic reality. We talk about that economic reality as a playing field for We The People. And we discuss the definition of a free market.
Speaker 1: Political discourse part four recorded in Las Vegas at Mj Biz in November. Charlie Rutherford returns for political discourse part for at the time the tax bill was being debated, came under the guise of tax reform. We now know it became simply a tax cut. We discussed the benefit of corporate taxes coming down while unpacking the short term middle class tax cuts, resulting in those middle class taxes actually going up over a 10 year period. We discussed killing these state and local income tax or salt deduction and its effects. We discussed the realities facing the Reagan tax cuts, corporate profits being low and interest rates being high, the opposite of the current economic reality. We talk about the economic reality as a playing field for read the people and we discussed the definition of a free market. What can they? Cannabis economy. I'm your host Seth Adler. Check us out on social with the Hammock can economy.
Speaker 1: That's two ends of the word economy. Political discourse. I wouldn't argue it all at a. They make really great heart at wearing really great software. Just I've never been an apple guy. I think it's started when the iphone came out. What was it, a decade ago? Yeah. Two thousand six. And I was not in a spot where I could afford one and I think I resented people that type of deal. I then I just never got ya. Yeah. So they were like, there's an APP for that. And Charlie's like, not for me. No, there is no bastards. Right? I mean I had an ipod. Sure. And uh, so yeah, especially with the new developments with that cigar, find her out from cigar aficionado not being on the APP store anymore. Oh, because they don't want to promote where people can go and enjoy a legal pleasure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, well, um, there's a, there's a, a fair amount of that these days. Yeah. Well, and that's the thing is that I think there are more alliances that can be made between the cannabis community and the cigar community because even though they might have hostility towards one another about what it is that they're smoking, the reality is that they are both fighting the for personal freedom. Here's, and I'm with you, and I think that if you are someone that has hostility towards anyone and you're from the cannabis industry, you're doing the wrong thing. I would tend to agree because the mountain top. Are you shouting from friend? Yes. Yeah. I mean there was people that blazed trails before cannabis to allow for easier integration into society and we joked around Bova even as recently as six, seven years ago, that, uh, there would be a day where it would be more acceptable to consume cannabis than it would be cigars.
Speaker 1: Well, we're seeing that already. I mean, we've been seeing it happen for a number of years, especially in California where you can't have a cigar outdoors in a totally isolated patio in your own patio type of thing. Well, I don't know your own personal private residences, but I remember we'd go to a restaurant and there's no one else out on the patio. Yeah, no. Well, so then you bring up a, your company. This would be a good time to remind folks that, uh, all of your opinions expressed here on these political discourse, uh, episodes are on my own. Yeah, yeah. People don't want company I am from. What's that? If people know what company, I mean, if they go back and look at the Pantheon of Charlie Rutherford episodes, they, they can certainly figure it out. But you just did mention the company by name, which I think we should keep in a because it's so apropos.

Just lately it seems I've only to say some not quite right or criticise something and he jumps down my throat like I've said something really awful. With this lockdown and having to stay home it's got so bad. He now ' sulks ' and can barely speak to me such is his anger. He also get so angry with any ' slight' that he perceives from other people. I feel I'm on eggshells. I'm particularly busy at the moment helping make scrubs for NHS , due to vivid 19. And find my self in tears in my sewing room. I'm not coping well at all.

Read: Matthew 17:14-20
Atoms, viruses, computer chips, etc. are not very big. Yet these little things can produce a great impact for good or for bad. Take faith for example. According to Jesus in Matt. 17:20, a mustard-seed amount of faith is enough to move mountains.
Oswald Chambers said, "Faith brings us into right relationship with God and gives God His opportunity. He frequently has to knock the bottom out of our experience to get us into contact with Himself. God wants you to understand it is a life of faith, and not a life of sentimental enjoyment of His blessings, that pleases Him. Faith by its very nature must be tried. And the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character has to be clear in our minds so that we remain true to God whatever He may do."
In Job 13:15, Job says, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." This may be the most inspiring and challenging utterance of faith in the whole Bible. Even though we can't see faith, or touch it, or hear it, we can't live without it. Faith requires a commitment. It is meaningless to say, "I have faith in the bank," unless you put your money there. In the same way, it is meaningless to say, "I have faith in God," unless we trust in Him. Rest in Him and relax. Let us put our mustard-seed faith in a mighty God, and let us see Him move a mountain-like obstacle in our lives.

How safe are Ontario's workplaces and are they getting safer?
2019 score
This score indicates an improvement in the health and safety of Ontario's workplaces.
It's a simple, single measure. Our health and safety index combines multiple performance indicators of health and safety into a single, evidence-based measure. This measure, or score, raises awareness and helps system partners focus their health and safety efforts and resources.
People feeling empowered at work and the lower number of severe injury claims had the largest positive impact on the index. The length of time it takes some people to get back to work and total overall number of injuries had a negative impact on most industry scores.
2019 Score insights
An increase in inspections for workplace prevention activities led to a strong performance.
Workplace culture
An improvement in awareness of legislation was not enough to overcome decreases in the other areas of workplace safety awareness and culture.
Despite improvements in severe injuries, it was not enough to overcome the negative overall injury metrics.
Empowerment continues to be a positive number and is a major driver of the index. Decreased employee involvement in workplace health and safety activities led to a smaller improvement compared to last year.
Negative results in all three areas caused a negative score for enforcement.
2019 Top five industry scores
Health care and social services
Strength: Fewer injuries
Focus on: Prevention and involvement of employees in health and safety
Health care achieved the highest score this year. This was due to improvements in empowerment, enforcement and the largest decrease in the number of severe injuries. The industry continued to have low prevention and workplace culture scores, same as last year but did see some improvements in areas like inspections and workplace safety activities.
Strength: Prevention and workplace culture
Focus on: Reducing the number of injuries
Construction has the second highest score at 1.9 per cent and is the only industry to show improvement both years of the index. The improvement was lower this year due to negative scores for injuries and enforcement. The number of severe injuries improved but challenges with return-to-work efforts and an increase in overall injuries kept the score lower. Prevention is the strongest area for construction mostly due to the number of inspections.
Transportation and warehousing
Strength: Culture and prevention
Focus on: Reducing the number of severe injuries
At -1.6 per cent, transportation and warehousing was one of three industries to change to a negative score this year due lower numbers in empowerment, enforcement and injuries. Leadership and workplace culture scores led to strong culture outcomes, but the number of severe injuries kept the number negative.
Strength: Empowerment and prevention
Focus on: Reducing the number of severe injuries
Manufacturing had high scores for empowerment and prevention. The positive prevention score, like with construction, was due to an increase in inspections. Compared to last year where manufacturing led all industries with the highest culture score, it was lower this year due to leadership and workplace culture performance. There was a large decrease in the score, driven by high severe injury counts.
Retail trade
Strength: Prevention
Focus on: Reducing the number of severe injuries
The retail trade is a negative score this year. Challenges with return-to-work support, an increase in overall injury counts and much higher severe injury counts meant a lower score in the injury section of the index.
Prevention was positive, driven by high inspection volumes. Despite lower results in leadership activities for the second year in a row, culture was flat. This was due to improvements in legislation awareness
Measuring health and safety
Rather than measuring health and safety in individual workplaces, the index looks at Ontario as a whole.
To measure overall health and safety, we look at five components:
Prevention - what is done to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses, like avoiding unnecessary risks and following health and safety rules
Empowerment - how people are involved in keeping workplaces healthy and safe
Workplace culture - how employees think about the priority placed on health and safety where they work
Enforcement - the fines, orders and convictions for poor health and safety practices
Injuries - the injuries that occur and how often, how long it takes people to get back to work, and the severity of the injuries, including loss of life.
How it all adds up
The components are scored based on workplace health and safety data covering almost every sector of Ontario's economy. Each component is weighted in relation to the others, and the five scores are added up to reach the single index measure.
The index tracks the yearly change in Ontario's overall workplace health and safety, and is updated annually.
We introduced the index in 2017 with weights derived from the data collected to date. Using 2017 as the baseline and recalculating the weighting according to best practice, 2018 was the first year we released a score. In 2019 we released the second index score.
For details about the methodology and rationale behind the index, please read the Technical Paper (PDF).

See Emergency Operations Plan, Authority.
The Emergency Support Function (ESF) annexes to the Emergency Operations Plan organize the applicable college District positions, departments, and outside support agencies into groups according to their roles in strategic response to a campus emergency or disaster. Outside agencies may include: governmental, non-governmental, private sector, and other volunteer resources. The ESF annex provides basic information on available internal and external departments and agencies that might be needed for an incident that affects Dallas County Community College District. Each ESF has at least one lead position or department within the District that will lead the specific response, one or more supporting departments within the District that will provide response support, and one or more external supporting departments from the surrounding communities, and neighboring jurisdictions.
ESFs will normally be activated at the direction of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Director in response to activation level 3 or greater emergencies as outlined in the EOP. Designated department and agency resources may be requested to respond or recover from emergency incidents that affect the District. Normally, the response and recovery actions will be coordinated from the EOC as Incident or Unified Command will use the resources at the incident scene.
The primary position/department/office(s) will normally be responsible for coordinating specific requirements associated with the emergency support function. Support position/department/office(s) may be contacted to provide expertise and assistance, as needed. Finally, external departments/agencies may be needed if internal resources are overwhelmed or where District capabilities do not exist (such as emergency medical or fire services.) In all cases, prior memorandums of understanding, mutual aid agreements, or funding issues would need to be addressed prior to requesting assistance.
The purpose of ESF 11 is to identify the internal and external departments responsible for agriculture and natural resources in an emergency. This ESF provides and coordinate resources (personnel, equipment, facilities, materials and supplies) to support agricultural needs during an emergency or disaster.
Emergency Support Function 11:
Dallas County Community College District is exposed to many hazards, all of which have the potential for disrupting the community, causing casualties, and damaging or destroying public or private property. Potential emergencies and disasters include both natural and human-caused incidents.
See the EOP Hazard Summary for the potential emergencies that may impact DCCCD.
The district DOES NOT operate its own agriculture and natural resources department and has minimal internal response capability for this ESF.
The District makes the following planning assumptions:
The emergency support function will primarily take action in the following phases:

Antifa Protester Screams To Black Boston Cop: "Stupid-A*s Black B***h. You're Supposed…"
What is with people..are we so uneducated that we can only use profanity to converse?
Sadly, Antifa is nothing but a new name for Nazism. They do nothing but hate and create nothing but pain. They are the lowest form of misguided youth on earth.
One particularly harrowing video captured by reporter Philip Crowther shows Antifa protesters hitting and punching police and getting arrested while bottles are flung through the air.
As we can see from the video, masked Antifa protesters flipped off the police to their faces and danced in front of them. In one exchange, one woman threatens to spit on a black police officer. She looks directly at the black Boston police officer and says:
"You stupid-a*s b***h. I'll fucking spit on you, b***h. You stupid-a*s black b***h. You're supposed to be on our side!"
My footage from Boston: violent clashes between the police and protesters. pic.twitter.com/S1vWB0hDV0
— Philip Crowther (@PhilipinDC) 20 August 2017
This black cop she yells to is being a good American and just doing his job. The Antifa protesters hate that. The "You're supposed to be on our side" shows how deluded they are. They think them being violent and hateful against others is righteous and them being encouraged by the media has them expecting to get a free pass from cops when they break the law.
So sad. These alt-left protesters are despicable! All they're doing is stirring up a race war! I wonder where did all this hate come from? This Police officer shouldn't have to be treated in this manner. Why didn't all this happen while Obama was in office for 8 long years?
She is the true definition of a racist. Somebody who thinks someone should behave a certain way because of the color of their skin. She is part of the swamp that needs to be drained and discarded.
Our police are our protectors, they can be any color and are hero's while you troll is a disgrace. Looking at her hate filled face is sad.

Black magic in the Congo
Sr. Marie Stella, the elder sibling of Prof. T.J. Joseph of Newman College, Thodupuzha, spent many years fighting the effects of witchcraft in this blighted African nation
By Shevlin Sebastian
In the early 1990s, Sr. Marie Stella was the principal in St. Joseph's College at Kibounde in the Republic of the Congo. She used to get up every morning at 4 a.m. for prayers and would spot an owl on the window sill. She was told that this same owl used to sit outside the room of another nun, Sr. Marie Agnes, and had a malevolent effect. "Agnes would fall sick often and vomited black fluid," she says.
So, Stella decided to take remedial action. She asked a boy, who worked in the convent, to kill the owl. He did so, early one morning. "Although it is difficult to believe, not a drop of blood could be seen," she says. In the Congo, the majority of the people practiced witchcraft and devil-worship.
A week earlier, Malonga, one of the teachers in the college, who could not get along with the nuns, had brought a tray which contained rice and fruits. "I did not accept the gift, but Malonga left it outside our door," she says.
According to the rules of witchcraft when a magic is aimed at someone, and if he or she touches a gift, that person will fall sick immediately. So, the food given by Malonga was set ablaze.
"However, many Congolese warned us that if we did the same thing to the owl, somebody would die," says Stella. The victim was usually the person who has done the witchcraft. "We never wanted this to happen," says Stella, who belongs to the Paris-based Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny. "So we held a prayer service, before burning the owl."
However, the impact was immediate. When Stella reached the college, she saw that Malonga was walking about stark naked. "He had lost his mind completely," she says. "It was clear that he had done the magic spell on us." Sometime later, he died. The nuns were shocked.
Life was never easy for them. Often the nuns had to travel to the capital, Brazzaville, to buy provisions. It was only 45 kms away, but it took five hours, because there were no roads.
"The people used to put nails on the mud tracks, so that our truck would have a puncture, and they could rob our weekly provisions," she says. "They did this because they were very poor."
The country had a ruined economy. There had been civil wars for decades, because different claimants had vied to become president. When Stella was living there, it was Denis Sassou Nguesso who was the leader.
"People would disappear mysteriously, because Sassou used to bathe in human blood," says Stella. "He did this because he believed in black magic."
For the presidential elections, in 1992, three rival aspirants, including Sassou, fought against each other. In the ensuing civil war, thousands of people died. Eventually, a leader called Pascal Lissouba was appointed the president. (Meanwhile, in December, 1993, Stella was transferred to the Philippines.)
The next flashpoint was the 1997 presidential elections. As the date drew near, tension mounted between Lissouba and Sassou. Soon, war broke out between the two camps. This lasted for four months. Again, thousands of civilians died.
"There was a complete breakdown of law and order," says Stella. "Schools and colleges were shut for weeks together. As soon as the shooting began every day, the nuns would hid inside a cupboard, or under the bed." Finally, Sassou assumed power once again.
In 2005, Stella returned to Brazzaville and got a shock. "After the wars, the roads, buildings, water pipes and the electric grid had been destroyed," she says. "People had deteriorated morally, physically, and psychologically."
She remembers a man who had been killed, but there was no place to bury him. "The wife took the body and placed it temporarily in a big freezer in the house," says Stella. "One day, the eight-year-old daughter opened it and saw her dead father. She was traumatised."
Stella says that many people had lost their sanity, owing to the endless violence. It was a living hell. In July, 2008, Stella moved to the Cook Islands, near New Zealand, and has been working there ever since.
In May, this year, Stella came for a visit to her home in Muvattupuzha, but, unfortunately, violence continued to haunt her life. On July 4, she was standing right next to her brother, Professor T.J. Joseph of Newman College, Thodupuzha, when his right hand was hacked off by Muslim fundamentalists, because he named a lunatic as Muhammad in an examination paper.
"Human beings have the same violent tendencies all over the world," she says.

Germany-based renewable energy investment company, Encavis AG (formerly known as Chorus Clean Energy) has acquired an 80% stake in the 300 MW Talayuela solar project for an undisclosed sum.
Construction of the plant, located in Cerro Verde, in Spain's southern region of Extremadura, will be carried out thanks to financing totaling €225 million, with project developer, U.K.-based SolarCentury, investing 20% of the required funds.
The completion and grid connection of the Talayuela project are planned for the first quarter of 2020. When realized, it should generate around 588.26 GWh of electricity per year, which will be sold to the market via private PPAs. Encavis expects revenues of around €25 million per year, from the first year of operation.
According to a document published in the Spanish Official Journal (BOE), a 30/400 kV substation totaling 21.42 km and a 400 kV transmission line for the evacuation, will also be constructed.
Last December, the Department of Energy and Infrastructure of Extremadura signed an MoU with SolarCentury and its partners, Genia Global Energy and Canopy Energies for the project, while this August the Ministry of Ecological Transition of Spain granted final approval.
Talayuela was designated a strategic project by the regional government of Extremadura – a measure that has helped accelerate its development.

Laurelle's comment on my tree prompted me to post my favorite Christmas song.
This is my all-time Christmas favorite. It may seem really corny, but listen to the words. Forget that it is about a cartoon dog and his imaginary world – listen to the words.
The words are great, but they are only half the reason this is my all-time, hands-down favorite Christmas song. In 1966, I was just 10 years old and in the 5th grade. Life was terrible. I was miserably "unpopular" (whatever the heck that is): a skinny little girl who looked more like a boy with her "pixie" haircut. I didn't "get" school and barely eked out average grades. I had no idea that I was simply a late bloomer: I was certain I was doomed to failure. I cried a lot.
I had a few friends and one of those was a girl named Trudi Elmore. Trudi had a vivid imagination like I did, so we hit it off with any game that involved playing "pretend." We had some favorites: "pretend we're Pepé le Pew and Chilly Willy" or "pretend we're wild horses" (a perennial favorite) and "Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron".
The latter involved getting to the swingset in the playground before anyone else. There was a crack in the pavement under the swingset. We'd swing as high as we could (she was always braver than I was an would get so high the swing would "buck", which would get us in trouble with the playground monitor). On the back-swing, we were over Allied soil, getting refueled or drinking root beers. Then we'd swing forward and over the crack in the pavement: GERMANY!
Ratttattat-tat-tat! Boom! Boom! We were Snoopy and the Red Baron was getting a full dose of Allied righteous wrath.
Over and over and over again.
I thought I died and went to Heaven when I found this CD in a discount bin.
Some classics, Eh?
Anyway, the point of this is the song: Snoopy's Christmas.
Trudi (who could sing – the eternal curse of my life is that no matter how hard I try, I cannot sing. I'm not tone-deaf, but I am flat) would sing that song as we "flew" in the swings over the Allied Nations and Germany, destroying Hitler and all his minions and (especially) the notorious Red Baron ("curse you, Red Baron!").
For twenty minutes, two times a day, plus recess, I was a world-conqueror with my friend, Trudi.
That is why I love that song so much.
Epilogue: when we were 20, Trudi was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She was a semester from achieving her Bachelor's in Theology and well on her way to becoming an ordained Methodist minister. The tumor on her brain was deemed inoperable in the USA, so her parents (who had already lost one child) took her to Paris and paid the top surgeons in the world to operate. They got the tumor, but Trudi's brilliant brain was exposed to oxygen for far too long and she was left a mental vegetable who lived out the rest of her life in a group home in Reno. The long letters we wrote to each other were replaced by long Christmas notes between her mom and I until the event of her mother's death a couple years ago. Trudi died about five years earlier.
Now – instead of crying, go back up to that link and play that song again.
"Christmas Bells, those Christmas Bells
Ringing through the land
Ringing peace for all the world
And good will to Man."
"Merry Christmas, My Friend!"

The impact of the multinational corporations on leading issues and policy making in less developed countries : (a case study on Kenya)

International business enterprises -- Kenya. Kenya -- Economic conditions -- 1963-. Kenya -- Economic policy
The era of Multinational Corporations (MNCs) is so significant in the development of the Less Developed Countries (LDCs) as was the era of the Industrial Revolution in the development of the now More Developed countries (MDCs). It could be referred to as one of the major economic frontiers in the LDCs as is the computer frontier in the MDCs now. Naturally therefore, there are problems of distrust, fear of eventual crisis, uncertainty of the correct path and a pain in policy making. Coupled with the North/South delicate relationship, the MNC's (which mostly comes from the North) acceptability in LDCs (which are in the South) is of mixed feelings.
In this paper therefore we shall explore some of the problems affecting the MNC/LDC relationship. Thus, among the questions to ponder on are what has been the impact, is it harmful or beneficial, do all MNCs have the same impact and how does each party interpret each impact? These ques~ tions often end up in accusations between MNCs and LDCs in general without devouring each other. But not without a loss of resources especially time and extra costs involved in speculations on each other as well as cushioning of uncertain events that one party suspects of the other.

Please pray for Cheri who is trying to find a way to accompany her son to San Francisco for his brain surgery. Her basement flooded and it seems that sewage is mixed with the standing water. She has Disaster Kleenup coming in and they say it is a haz-mat situation. She suffers the lingering effects of West Nile and her immune system is seriously compromised. She has had to move into a motel. Pray for her health and also that the Lord will put everything together for this upcoming medical trip. In addition, she lost her eyeglasses somewhere in Wal-Mart. Pray that they are found soon.
Please pray for Lynn Campbell's family. She is visiting her son in Maryland, and yesterday they received word that his wife's 21-year-old nephew took his own life in Boise. Lynn's daughter-in-law is traveling back to Boise to be with the family. Lynn is remaining in Maryland to help her son and grandkids. Please pray that the family will be comforted by the love and provision of Christ. Ask too that God strengthens Lynn for the task before her.
Please pray for a five-week-old girl with severe diaper rash. Her grandparents attend our church and ask that we pray that the Lord heals her.
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us, and if we know that He hears us, we know we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. – I John 5:14-15

OTTAWA, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- An art piece that had been presumed to be a 19th-century German painting of a young woman is actually an original portrait by Italian master Leonardo da Vinci, a Canadian expert said Tuesday.
The woman in profile has now been identified as La Bella Principessa and believed to have been created around 1496 by the legendary Renaissance artist, Peter Paul Biro, director of forensics with Art Access and Research in Montreal, said, according to a Canwest News Service report.
Biro said he drew the conclusion because of a fingerprint on the painting. The fingerprint, believed to be of Leonardo's middle or index finger, was found in the upper right hand corner of the painting and matched to a Leonardo print from his painting of St. Jerome in the Vatican, he said in a statement.
The painting, reportedly purchased by Europe-based Canadian art collector Peter Silverman in 2007 for about 19,000 Canadian dollars (17,100 U. S. dollars), is now worth up to 150 million Canadian dollars (145 million U. S. dollars).
The discovery would represent the first new attribution of a painting to da Vinci in more than 100 years.
The print on the painting of St. Jerome is especially significant because the painting comes from a period when Leonardowas understood not to employ any assistants -- meaning that the print is almost certainly Leonardo's, Biro said.
He called the find a "great success" for his company and "further evidence of the growing importance of scientific techniques in the art world."Editor: Zhao Yanchen | Source: Xinhua
