10 months ago by Former Employee
This corrupt business owner has closed and re-opened as Novita Wellness Institute to Adrenalin Fitness and now to Benelife Wellness Centre. At Benelife over 30 general managers have been hired and released within one year, and there is over 100,000 dollars in outstanding lawsuit claims against Benelife from former employees and business partners. All the employees have not been paid for 8 weeks and counting, some for more than 2 months, and most depend on this income for their livelihood. The owner remains completely unconcerned with the welfare of her staff and refuses to take ownership of her mistakes, choosing to deflect responsibility and defame the character of others to try and save her business. This is an injustice to the working class by a wealthy and irresponsible tyrant owner.

Amanda A, Eliza & Miranda – BONUS-Rocco's Anal Slaves 2, Scene 5
Released: April 5, 2012
Rocco Siffredi, the legendary Italian fucker and director of nasty pornographic films, presents an orgy of filthy (but fun) hard-core sodomy in "Rocco's Anal Slaves 2." In four epic scenes, one a threesome, two foursomes and a quintet, Rocco unleashes his male-dominant madness upon uninhibited young beauties who love feeling big cocks drill their horny assholes to gaping. Finally he turns to Isabella, and her patience is rewarded with his fat cock and a dildo up her ass simultaneously! With anal slaves like Rocco's, who needs emancipation?

- Customer ReviewsCock Ring Vibe
This fab looking cock ring does it all. It makes me harder and my girlfriend loves the clit stimulation. The material is stretchy and easy to slip on my cock. I get the most powerful erections with this cock ring. And the vibrations are to die for. I have used non-vibrating cock rings, and I prefer this type much more. A great find at a good price.Review by: BrianCock Ring
This is one fabulous cock ring. I can use it alone or use it with vibrations. My girlfriend loves it, too. Those vibrations on her clit drive her wild. Even better, I can remove the bullet from the sleeve and use it on other parts of my body and her body. She loves to feel the bullet on her earlobes and nipples, and I love to drive her wild doing it. The bullet feels great on my balls and on my nipples, too. We love to experiment with that bullet, both on the sleeve and off of it.Review by: CecilNice
Got this double cock ring two days ago and it really does the trick. The big ring goes behind your balls and the front one sits at the base of your cock. Has helped me immenseley and my partner got good stimulation from the top part. Pleased we got this one.Review by: GaryCock Ring Vibe
Just be careful as the cock ring is a little too small for me and it squeezes too hard (which can be very bad!). We used lubricant to put it on, very weak vibrations, it's big and for us does nothing. We were using different cock rings before, like Bold Basics Pink Vibrating Cock Ring and were very happy with them.Review by: M

Hi! I jst got back on here after not visiting for awhile. I was so excited to be PG (pregnant or pregnancy) Iwas on here every day up until mid-December when I experienced a mis-carraige. WOW- what a HUGE dissappointment!! I too have friends popping babies w no problem! I am having luch today w a friend who had her procedure done the same week I did. She's having identical twin boys-13.5 weeks along.
I am optomistic, back in the gym and eating healthy. Insted of the wieght I gained from fertility drugs/being PG (pregnant or pregnancy) for a short while going away, it's going up? Is this common? How frustrating!
I go back to the Fertility Dr. in a couple of weeks to see his recommendatins. I just want to get back on trying and move foward. I am 45 and time is ticking. I don't want to stress myself out with this stuff too much as I knwo this will not be good for me or TTC.
I agree w what to say to people. Learning lesson: dont talk about it until your are well into the 2nd tm. It was hard to keep a secret we were overjoyed! It was a tough thing to go through.
Glad to be amongst ladies who can relate!

What do you do when even the biggest TV isn't big enough? Get a projector. But not just any projector. Immersis is like inverted virtual reality; it turns walls into screens and 3D maps the picture onto them, so you don't have to sit on the sofa wearing a stupid headset.

Turtle Beach normally makes gaming headsets, but it's used that nous to develop HyperSound.

"Camp Amikaro"
Overnight Resident Camp
at Little Sioux Scout Ranch
Camp Amikaro is the official name for our Resident Camp at Little Sioux Scout Ranch for Cub Scouts and Webelos. Amikaro means "circle of friends" in an international language, meant to help people from different parts of the world communicate. Little Sioux has a long history with the name Amikaro, dating back to the 1970s when the first "Amikaro" encampment was held. Then, scouts gathered from around the world to participate in competitions and fellowship. Now, Cub Scouts and Webelos gather from around our council to participate in the best programs Scouting has to offer.
Bring your den, pack, or just your Scout to Little Sioux Scout Ranch for our 2017 "BUGBUSTERS" Resident Camp program. Our Cub and Webelos activity curriculum uses the latest updated Cub requirements, helping to keep parents and leaders ahead of the curve. Resident camp is for
Tigers, Wolves, Bears and Webelos, giving parents and Scouts an
opportunity to spend 3 days and 2 nights camping. Cub Scouts and
Webelos will choose from a list of activities, some tailored to their
specific age/rank, to create a personalized camp experience!
Scouts attending Resident Camp will receive a FREE t-shirt and patch, provided they indicate their shirt size on their registration and they are paid in full 3 weeks prior to their session start. Adults will recieve a camp patch, and can purchase a t-shirt for $8 online before camp or $10 at camp.
Camp Amikaro offers activities in five specific departments, ranging from climbing and aquatics programs, to nature and STEM study, To shooting sports. In 2017, we are offering seven weekend sessions, Friday through Sunday, in June and July.

Citation Edit
World Intellectual Property Organization, Copyright Treaty, Apr. 12, 1997, S. Treaty Doc. No. 105-17 (1997).
Overview Edit
The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) is a special agreement within the meaning of Article 20 of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. Part of the work on the WIPO Copyright Treaty involved extending coverage of the Berne Convention to certain issues which had already been agreed internationally via the GATT TRIPS Agreement (Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, Including Trade in Counterfeit Goods). These issues included protection of computer programs as literary works, protection of the original selection and arrangement elements of compilations of data and other materials, and the introduction of a limited right to prevent rental of copyright works. These provisions can be found in Articles 4, 5 and 7, respectively, of the text as adopted.
A second aspect of the WIPO Copyright Treaty was to go beyond existing international agreements in addressing copyright aspects of online exploitation of works in digital form.
The treaty also:
- expressly confirms that copyright protection extends to expression but not to ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical concepts as such (Article 2 of the final text);
- confirms that copyright owners have the right to authorize the making available to the public of the original and copies of their works through sale or other transfer of ownership (Article 6). It is left to national and regional law to determine the scope of exhaustion of this right, and the Treaty permits national laws providing for international exhaustion of this right by first sale anywhere in the world.[1] A chairman's statement confirmed that this "right of distribution" and the right to authorise rental apply only to tangible copies;
- confirms that copyright owners also have the right to authorize communication to the public, by wire or wireless means, including in ways which permit individual on demand access (Article 8);
- confirms that contracting states may only limit or create exceptions from the rights described under the Treaty to the extent this does not conflict with the normal exploitation of the work and does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the author (Article 10).[2] This new Article applies the same approach to rights under the new Treaty, and extends it to other rights already in existence under the Berne Convention;
- requires contracting parties to "provide adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies against the circumvention of effective technological measures that are used by authors in connection with the exercise of the rights (under Berne or the new Treaty) and that restrict acts, in respect of their works, which are not authorized by the authors concerned or permitted by law" (Article 11).[3] The language adopted leaves member states considerable latitude about the terms in which they implement this obligation; and
- requires contracting states to provide a legal framework to prevent tampering with rights management information (such as e.g. a copyright notice) so as to facilitate infringement (Article 12).
Countries with strong interests in high levels of copyright protection were keen to get this Treaty through, and had to accept concessions to achieve this. One provision which did not make it through the conference was the proposed "clarification" of the scope of the right of reproduction, to confirm that this right included the right to authorize temporary reproduction. There were strong voices supporting the position that this gave rightholders too much control, e.g., over electronic browsing. The extent of the reproduction right is therefore left to national laws for the present.
Steps were also taken to address concerns of online service providers about their potential liabilities for online copyright infringements using their systems. This was done through the means of a statement expressing the understanding that the mere provision of physical facilities for enabling or making a communication does not of itself amount to a communication.

- ↑ A more restrictive alternative option which would have included importation among the restricted acts and permitted only national exhaustion was not adopted.
- ↑ Article 9(2) of the Berne Convention already uses these terms to limit the extent to which the central right of reproduction granted by the Convention can be excluded or reduced.
- ↑ There had been various proposals for provisions intended to ensure that using and providing copy-protection defeating devices and programs was unlawful. The aim was to protect rightholders against willful hacking, without drafting terms which would prohibit anyone from owning a computer.

Painting Appraisal
English painter, draftsman, sculptor, goldsmith & medalist
born 1854- died 1934
Protege of:
Lord Frederick Leighton
Patronized by:
Lord Frederick Leighton
Influence on:
Edward Onslow Ford
Biographical Information
, British sculptor and goldsmith, born in London, was the son of Alfred Gilbert, musician. He received his education mainly in Paris (Ecole des Beaux-Arts, under Cavelier), and studied in Rome and Florence where the significance of the Renaissance made a lasting impression upon him and his art. He also worked in the studio of Sir J. Edgar Boehm, R.A. His first work of importance was the charming group of the
Mother and Child
, then
The Kiss of Victory
, followed by
Perseus Arming
(1883), produced directly under the influence of the Florentine masterpieces he had studied. Its success was great, and Lord Leighton forthwith commissioned
, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1884, along with a remarkable
Study of a Head
, and was received with general applause. Then followed
The Enchanted Chair
, which, along with many other works deemed by the artist incomplete or unworthy of his powers, was ultimately broken by the sculptor's own hand. The next year Mr Gilbert was occupied with the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, in Piccadilly, London, a work of great originality and beauty, yet shorn of some of the intended effect through restrictions put upon the artist. In 1888 was produced the statue of H.M. Queen Victoria, set up at Winchester, in its main design and in the details of its ornamentation the most remarkable work of its kind produced in Great Britain, and perhaps, it may be added, in any other country in modern times. [
This is reputedly the view expressed by
who saw the statue on a visit to England.
] Other statues of great beauty, at once novel in treatment and fine in design, are those set up to Lord Reay in Bombay, and John Howard at Bedford (1898), the highly original pedestal of which did much to direct into a better channel what are apt to be the eccentricities of what is called the New Art School. The sculptor rose to the full height of his powers in his Memorial to the Duke of Clarence, and his fast developing fancy and imagination, which are the main characteristics of all his work, are seen in his Memorial Candelabrum to Lord Arthur Russell and Memorial Font to the son of the 4th Marquess of Bath. Gilbert's sense of decoration is paramount in all he does, and although in addition to the work already cited he produced busts of extraordinary excellence of Cyril Flower, John R. Clayton (since broken up by the artist; the fate of much of his admirable work),
G. F. Watts
, Sir Henry Tate, Sir George Birdwood, Sir Richard Owen, Sir George Grove and various others, it is on his goldsmithery that the artist would rest his reputation; on his mayoral chain for Preston, the epergne for Queen Victoria, the figurines of Victory (a statuette designed for the orb in the hand of the Winchester statue), St Michael, and St George, as well as smaller objects such as seals, keys and the like. Mr Gilbert was chosen associate of the Royal Academy in 1887, full member in 1892 (resigned 1909), and professor of sculpture (afterwards resigned) in 1900. In 1889 he won the Grand Prix at the Paris International Exhibition. He was created a member of the Victorian Order in 1897.

1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
