On December 23, 1977, legendary British singer-songwriter Cat Stevens converted to Islam, abandoning his musical career and soon after changing his name to Yusuf Islam. Born Steven Demetre Georgiou into a Christian household with a Greek-Cypriot father and a Swedish mother, the singer now shed his stage name, which he had adopted after a girlfriend told him his eyes resembled those of a cat.A near-death experience at the Californian coast of Malibu in 1976 was the trigger to Steven's transition from a rock star life to a quiet and pious existence. "Without warning a strong current carried me out to sea," he told the Los Angeles Times in 2000. "My whole life flashed in front of me, as they say, but I knew someone was there and I said, 'Oh God, if you help me I'll work for you.' Anyway, a wave came from behind me and gently pushed me towards the shore and then I had all the energy I needed to get back."Thus Stevens began his journey toward Islam, though he wasn't yet clear of his path: "I'd made this commitment to work for God, but I didn't know what to do about it. I didn't tell anyone what had happened. I was embarrassed," he recalled.Stevens, long disillusioned with Christianity, had explored Eastern mysticism, astrology, Buddhism and several other practices but was yet to find his religious calling. Then, his brother returned from a trip to a mosque in Jerusalem and presented his brother with a gift which Islam later came to describe as a miracle - a translation of the Koran. In this book, Stevens discovered the "the purpose of life.""I felt that the only answer for me was the Koran, and God had sent it to me," Islam explained on the "Islam Tomorrow" website. A year and a half later, following his own trip to Jerusalem and deep study of the Koran, Stevens converted.With this move, Stevens disappeared from the public eye entirely; he stopped making records, performing or giving interviews. Islam married, and involved himself in charity work and humanitarian issues. After a long silence, he gradually returned to music in the 1990s, with a new Islamic focus.In his new Muslim life, however, Islam received a lot of bad press. In 1989 he found himself in the center of controversy when he was accused of supporting the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's call for author Salman Rushdie's execution for defaming the Prophet Muhammad in his book The Satanic Verses. While speaking at Kingston University in London, a student asked Islam his opinion of the fatwa. Islam responded, "The Koran makes it clear - if someone defames the Prophet, he must die." The former singer was immediately swept up in a media tempest, and the next day issued a statement denying that he supported vigilantism and claiming that he had simply repeated the Islamic legal view.However, the issue resurfaced several months later when Islam appeared on the BBC's "Hypotheticals" program. Again questioned on the issue, Islam affirmed that he thought Rushdie should be killed and when asked if he would attend a demonstration where an effigy of the author would be burned he replied, "I would have hoped that it'd be the real thing." Islam later clarified that those comments had been made in jest, "meant to lighten the moment and raise a smile – as good ol' British sense of humor occasionally is known to do unfortunately for me it didn't." He regretfully acknowledged that his remarks had been "stupid and offensive" but also stressed that the program was edited in way that misrepresented the dialogue: "Hardly any laughs were left in and much common sense was savagely cut out."Years later in a Rolling Stone interview in 2000, Islam was rueful that he was still being questioned on the matter, and portrayed himself as an innocent victim of a brutal media industry. "I had nothing to do with the issue other than what the media created. I was innocently drawn into the whole controversy… I was a new Muslim. If you ask a Bible student to quote the legal punishment of a person who commits blasphemy in the Bible, he would be dishonest if he didn't mention Leviticus 24:16."The Rushdie affair was not the last of Islam's battles. In July 1990, the Interior Ministry refused Islam entry into Israel for "security reasons." Sources said they believed the "security reasons" were that Islam, who made extremist statements against Israel during a visit here more than two years ago, was planning to meet with Palestinian leaders during his scheduled five-day visit. Islam, 41, accompanied by his eight-year-old son, Mohammed, was told by passport control that he was on a list of "undesirables" and could not enter the country. Islam was "not surprised" by the news, which he took very quietly, sources said. He and his son were taken to the departures lounge, where they were treated "very politely," and boarded a British Airways return flight to London.Israel turned Islam away again in 2000, saying that he had made large donations to Hamas in the past. He arrived on a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt, and was held for several hours before being sent back to Germany, GPO director Moshe Fogel said."There was a problem with allowing him into the country because he is a Hamas supporter," Fogel said. "He didn't seem like he was coming here for a summer holiday." Islam denied knowingly supporting Hamas or another terror group.The US – which had added Islam to a "watch list" - also denied the former singer entry in 2004, citing "national security grounds." This provoked a complaint by then-British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw. The US Secretary of State Colin Powell replied that the watchlist was under review, and two years later Islam traveled to the US without trouble.In 2009, he again drew Israeli criticism when he released a single "The Day the World Gets Round" in aid of children in Gaza. Proceeds went to charities and organizations including UNESCO, UNRWA and Save the Children to aid children and families in the Strip following Operation Cast Lead. Fox News quoted Israeli Consul David Saranga as saying, "It is good Mr. Islam is interested in helping the children of Gaza," but that "The children on the other side of the border should not be forgotten, as well, and it would have been nice for their situation to also be considered when Mr. Islam decided on the dedication of the song." Islam continues today to perform around the world, intertwining his re-launched music career with peace and human rights activism, which have garnered him numerous awards, both humanitarian and musical. The voice of Cat Stevens lives on in both new albums and old, but the songs of his second musical journey convey the morals and messages of Yusuf Islam.

Collecting: Don't be sniffy about Chinese snuff bottles
Prices are soaring for Oriental 'medicine' jars
Tobacco can be helpful, not harmful if you know your snuff. The price of good-quality Chinese snuff bottles has shot up in recent years thanks to the growing knowledge of collectors.
Tobacco can be helpful, not harmful if you know your snuff. The price of good-quality Chinese snuff bottles has shot up in recent years thanks to the growing knowledge of collectors.
"We publish scholarly articles each year and that has been responsible for the market rising," says John Ford, president of the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society. "It has raised consciousness and people know much better what to look for."
In fact, the society itself has been adversely affected by these price rises. It now has fewer members than it did 20 years ago because so many collectors can't afford the bottles they want.
London dealer and society member Robert Kleiner agrees: "People are much better educated, so the good examples have gone up sharply in value while the mediocre ones have dropped enormously."
Mr Kleiner fell in love with Chinese snuff bottles 30 years ago after seeing them on a TV programme. He gave up his law career to find out more and to sell them. He is not unusual in reacting so strongly to these miniature masterpieces: many people are taken by their beauty, artistry and incredible detail.
The bottles were created after the Chinese began importing tobacco in the late 16th century. They considered smoking it to be harmful, but thought that taking it as snuff was actually medicinal - hence the production of snuff bottles rather than boxes or tins, as used in the West, because that was how medicines were carried about.
The 18th and 19th centuries, during the Qing dynasty, were the real glory days. The bottles were made in various materials beloved of Chinese craftsmen, including metals, glass, porcelain, semi-precious stones such as jade, and organic materials like coral, amber and ivory. Some are made of luminous glass or precious stones that look wonderful when lit from behind. Others require a magnifying glass to inspect the intricate carvings or paintings of hunting scenes. Most collectors want to have examples of every type of bottle, but some specialise in one material or style.
The fashion for taking snuff faded away early in the last century, but the bottles are still made, sometimes with great beauty and artistry.
"There are two or three recognised artists working in this field in China," says Mr Kleiner. "Works by these ones, if they're signed, go for around £800 to £2,000. There are a number of other good craftsmen around but they don't sign their work so they don't have such a high value. I deal in those that are 'inside painted' but not many other modern ones."
Sadly, but not surprisingly, there are also many modern fakes of old bottles.
"There are artists in Beijing who will look at the Sotheby's and Christie's catalogues and simply copy them," says Mr Ford. "You have to be discerning because many are very clever copies. It takes the eye of a connoisseur to pick them out."
He recommends that less experienced collectors restrict their purchases to recognised dealers, particularly members of the society, to be on the safe side.
Christie's and Sotheby's have regular sales in which "high end" items are auctioned. "Most of our bottles sell for £5,000 upwards," says Desmond Healey of Christie's. "And we find that they attract specialists who are looking for specific bottles to fill gaps in their collections. They don't have mass-market appeal, probably because of the price."
Snuff bottles are not too much affected by the vagaries of fashion. Generally, apart from the obvious issue of quality, enamel bottles fetch the highest prices while porcelain ones, largely because of the number that exist, are the lowest priced.
"You should expect to pay between £1,000 and £5,000 for a good-quality bottle," says Mr Kleiner. "For some reason, amber and rock-crystal bottles are surprisingly cheap at the moment. You can get a stunning rock-crystal one for under £1,000, which is about half the price it should be."
As an investment, the bottles are likely to hold or even increase their value, particularly the high-quality examples.
"The Chinese are beginning to recollect their art as they've become richer, and they will probably keep prices going up," says Mr Kleiner. "They're spending hundreds of thousands of pounds at a time, so it's looking pretty healthy."
The most paid for a single item, reckons Mr Ford, was the $600,000 (around £330,000) spent by a Taiwanese businessman on a jade bottle. So roll on the tiger economies.
Prices: from £200 to £200,000+ each.

Minimum Stay | 3 - 30 nights |
Be in the center of the activity at Baytowne Wharf!
The Pilot House, located in the premier resort of Sandestin, is nestled next to the newest development Baytowne Wharf! Park your car in the gated garage, take the elevator to the 3rd floor, and you're ready to relax in your vacation resort destination! Put your car keys away...you won't need them till it's time to leave!
The first class amenities included at your Pilot House vacation condo is the lagoon oasis swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor FP, outdoor grills, a indoor fitness complex and a pool food service bar (during season), all located right off your 3rd floor.
Pilot House is located at Baytowne Wharf, the center of activity and night life for kids and adults!
You will find 14 restaurants, an amphitheater for concerts and movies, a zipline, rock climbing, bungee jumping, boutique shops, and fireworks in the summer!
And don't forget the 7 miles of powder white sand beach with the most beautiful tourquise waters, 4 golf courses, tennis courts, spa services, marinas and fishing docks all located in your resort! There's even a tram to take you right to the beach!
Our two bedroom allows you to tailor your rental to fit your needs and your budget!
The two bedroom includes a full kitchen, washer and dryer, king bed in master, master bath with double vanity with separate shower and soaking tub, second bedroom with two queen beds, private bathroom, micro and small fridge, with separate entrance, and queen sofa sleeper in living room and outside balcony.
55" Flat screen TV in the living room and both bedrooms have 47" flat screens and WIFI is included.
You must be 25 yrs old or older to rent this unit! ID will be required at check in.
Jim and I have been coming to Sandestin Resort for family reunions and vacations since 1982! With the addition of Baytowne Wharf the resort is complete, offering something for everybody! It is now a vacation destination!
Debbie Braham purchased this condo in 2013
Jim and I have stayed at different properties in the resort over the years but decided the Pilot House was the best of all worlds! We could take the tram to the beach then just walk to dinner from our condo and enjoy the nightlife without having to drive anywhere!
You can literally park your car when you get here and never need it again during your vacation. All your entertainment is right outside your condo!
We have been staying in the village for our annual trips to Sandestin for the last 15 years - and this was one of the best properties we've stayed at. Fully updated with big screen TVs and granite counter top. We LOVED that they have a DVR so you can set up recordings of your favorite TV shows and sports. Beds were comfortable and the location is great for access to the pools/grilling area. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks.
My family stayed for a week in June and loved it. The condo is clean and nicely furnished, and there was plenty of room for the 5 of us. The studio unit with 2 queen beds and full bath gave the teenagers their own area, and that allowed us to use the living room area for reading and relaxing. The kitchen and baths are nicely furnished, and the main bath is very large. This is located right in the heart of the Village making it easy to go to and from without the necessity of getting in your car, but it is a quick drive across the road to the beach. The owners were extremely easy to work with, answered all of our questions, and were quick to respond with anything during our stay.
Great condo to stay at! Walking distance from everything you need. Pool and hot tub out one door and the town with bars/restaurants out the other. Very clean and modern. Debbie was great to work with! Any questions I had she was always prompt with emailing me. Would definitely stay here again!
This was a fantastic find for our family of four. Paradise is perfect for families because of the separate units, the proximity to parking and the pool and hot tub are just a short walk away. The furnishings were top notch, which made our stay feel more like staying at a home rather than an impersonal rental space. Breakfast at the Broken Egg Cafe in the mornings was a huge hit, as were the zip line and the shops that are just steps away. We highly recommend staying in Paradise and cant wait to go back!!!
We just returned from staying at this wonderful condo. We had our 3 children 12-21 and our Shitzu. The layout was perfect for our family!!!! The condo is on the 3rd floor, which is the same floor as the pool. There is a large section of grass near the pool for a potty area for pets and bags to pick up their "business"!! It was very convenient to just walk down the hallway and out the door to the area. The condo is very clean and has all of the basic items in the kitchen for you to cook all of your meals if you choose to. The beds are VERY comfortable... Even the pullout! Even though there isn't a water view, we enjoyed the LARGE balcony!! You can literally park your car in the garage and never drive again until your departure!!! You walk down to the bottom floor and you are at Baytowne Wharf which we LOVED!!! The pool was also very nice, but sometimes crowded. The gas grill is right beside the pool and we cooked several of our meals there!!! Some advice..... Take a printout of the condo letter that has all of the codes on it for when you arrive. I couldn't find mine on my phone and it took a while.
The owner is amazing to work with and got back to us immediately when I had any questions!! We can't wait to go back!!!
We just returned from our stay and we cannot say enough good things about the condo. It was extremely clean and well kept with comfortable furniture throughout (including the pull out bed!). The condo's location inside the gated Sandestin Resort with the front door of the Pilot House building leading directly out to the Baytowne Wharf couldn't have been better. In addition, the Condo has covered parking and the Shuttle for beach access (free with supplied wrist bands) picks you up in front of the Pilot House Building. Aside from all of the positive attributes of the condo itself, the owners were extremely easy to work with and responded to all of our emails within 15 minutes. In short, it was one of our best vacations and we definitely plan to come back and rent the exact same Condo in the future. Our experience was a 10 out if 10.
You will love being right in the heart of all the activity. No car needed..just walk out your condo and you have arrived at Baytowne Wharf!

The service operates four routes shuttling an estimated 2,000 state employees daily from 12 state parking lots throughout the city to the 10 state offices in the city's center.
"This growth opportunity has enabled us to invest in our economy by purchasing seven new mini bus coaches," said John Stancil, Anchor Trailways & Tours president.
The company has also hired eight new full-time employees to drive and manage the shuttle routes.
Anchor Trailways & Tours, a family-owned company that has operated in the Nashville area for more than 20 years, is dedicated to providing the safest group travel available in motorcoach transportation.
The operations are targeting a 3% reduction in fuel consumption using the technology, which is being rolled out on its fleet of 2,400 buses. This initiative follows a successful pilot program in the UK in which a 3% improvement in fuel efficiency was achieved across UK bus operations.
The driver told investigators he heard what sounded like a rear tire's exploding and immediately pulled off to the side of the road. As soon as he stopped, he saw that the back of the bus was on fire. The bus was declared a total loss.
Additionally, the company announced the appointment of Jack Forbes to the position of VP Corporate Accounts and Commuter Sales.
Iowa's Windstar Lines took delivery of five new CX2045s while San Diego's Goldfield Stages took delivery of two new CXs.

Boy: I dont want to be with u forever...I need to be with u forever
Boy: I dont like u...I love u
Boy: I wouldn't cry if u walked away......I would die if u walked away.

*Get ready for the shock of your life!
*If u dont post this to 5 other comments... You will have baD luck in relationships for the next 10 year
love this composition, doctor & companions are always running and you got his fabulous hair too <3
I love it. So many people don't give Martha Jones her due credit for being the doctor's companion. She puts up with so much and is just wonderful. I appreciate your artwork very much. Nice!
I didn't really like Martha as a companion. I don't know, I think I was just suffering from loss of Rose and she just didn't click for me. I mean she wasn't bad, but I preferred DONNA over Martha, just saying.
Sir, this is awesome. I can't say Martha is my favorite companion, but this is incredible. It reminds be of the old Indiana Jones and Star Wars posters by Drew Strusan. The shading is perfect, the people look incredible, and the whole picture flows very smoothly.

A pioneer is what I am I don't think I can be stopped by the jam For I have the power to make the rough sea calm Because I have the super natural hand palm I seat down and watch eagles and then the vultures scream I concentrate to see that I get better full of ambitions and aiming or the greater I just think that none will stop us not even the official later Because beneath to none is the pace setter More of a speed merchant and a racer As boundless as our oceans glory Here the rest saying they are so sorry We are gratefull for the natural success

Last week we saw his elimination from the show, which left rest of the contestants in the house in a state of shock as he was a much loved contestant by all. But well it seems that Apurva is very happy with his elimination. On the same we got in touch with him to know more about his journey in the Bigg Boss house and much more.
Here is Apurva Agnihotri unplugged.
Apurva seems to be very happy on his elimination from the house, as he says, "I am happy and delighted that I got eliminated at such a time where I
could spend quality time together with my family as it was the occasion of
Further elaborating his experience of staying in the Bigg Boss Saath 7 house he adds, "My stay in the Bigg Boss house was a roller coaster ride.
Undoubtedly I enjoyed the ride. But after Shilpa got eliminated I was very much
upset. Also I told all the housemates too, to vote me out as I wanted to get
back home, I was missing my puppy, mother and Shilpa very much."
Heaven was a stress buster for him says Apurva, "After Shilpa left me alone in the house my only stress buster was Heaven, in fact he
was a stress buster for each and every contestant in the house. I am totally a
dog lover and I was very happy to have Heaven in the house."
Apurva says that he did not take up the reality show to win it, but just as an experience, "I took up the reality show Bigg Boss more for an
experience rather than to win the show. I had my share of experience and I am
happy to be back to my normal life."
According to Apurva the strongest contenders in the house are, "The
strongest contenders in the house who have a chance to win the show are Gauhar
Khan and Kamya Punjabi. Also Kushal Tandon, who is currently not in the
house, but I have a feeling that he will go back in the house. I wish that he does so and also wins the show."
When we asked Apurva about the recent spat between Kushal and Andy due to which
Kushal had to exit from the Bigg Boss house, this is what he had to say, "According to me it was absolutely Andy's fault. Any guy who would have
had been in Kushal's place would have had done what Kushal did with Andy. I
totally support Kushal and I wish to see him soon on the show."
About the wild card entries in the house he said, "The new wild card
entries are also really nice and fun to be around with. I wish them all the
luck for the show."
Further we also asked him about the weekend episode with Salman Khan. The
episode where Kushal, Gauhar, Tanisha and Armaan were spoken about the most as
there was a fight between Tanisha and Kushal due to the task. Salman Khan
seemed very angry. About the same Apurva said, "Well, no comments on that
episode at all."
We wish Apurva Agnihotri all the very best for his future endeavors.

Dynamic Matching,Two-sided Incomplete Information, and Participation Costs: Existence and Convergence to Perfect Competition
Consider a decentralized, dynamic market with an infinite horizon and participation costs in which both buyers and sellers have private information concerning their values for the indivisible traded good. Time is discrete, each period has length δ, and each unit of time continuums of new buyers and sellers consider entry. Traders whose expected utility is negative choose not to enter. Within a period each buyer is matched anonymously with a seller and each seller is matched with zero, one, or more buyers. Every seller runs a first price auction with a reservation price and, if trade occurs, both the seller and winning buyer exit the market with their realized utility. Traders who fail to trade continue in the market to be rematched. We characterize the steady-state equilibria that satisfy a subgame perfection criterion. We show that, as δ converges to zero, equilibrium prices at which trades occur converge to the Walrasian price and the realized allocations converge to the competitive allocation. We also show existence of equilibria for δ sufficiently small.

Reversing Dr Beeching
Without much fanfare, Scotland has been systematically reversing Dr Beeching's cuts to rural rail services. In the last 30 years, 62 railway stations in Scotland have reopened- more than anywhere else in the British Isles. In December 2009 the Airdrie to Bathgate Line which had been closed to regular passenger traffic since 1956 started to run again. The reopened service brought rail to an area which had lived without it for half a century. Rail reopenings have enjoyed a cross party consensus in Scotland - but can the programme survive public spending cutbacks?
