Power Ups – The Video Game's Own Reward System
January 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Featured, Video Games Information
When you have a command and mastery of a video game, it is possible to play from the beginning to the end of the game without your character "dying". Of course, there is a learning curve involved with playing video games and, while you are trying to get to grips with a game there is every chance that you will "die" with frustrating regularity. This is why many of the traditional video games give a character three lives to start with, and offer more as the game goes on (if you play particularly well, it may be a lot more). They are a lot like an incentive system for video games.
The "power up" is something which does not feature in some of the more modern day games, in which a character doesn't so much "die" as have their efforts brought to a halt at a certain point and have to restart from the last obstacle they cleared. This allows players with perseverance but no great amount of skill to advance further in the game than ordinarily they might. However, in the older games, "power ups" include: an extra life; greater speed or strength; invincibility; invisibility (to the other characters in the game); and more of the game's "currency" – in some games you pick up coins and in others it may be something else.
While completing a video game is quite enough of a target in itself, the inclusion of these power-ups helps to buttress a player's resolve to get as far into the game as possible – a series of mini-tests before the big one at the end.
Why Not Pick Up A Classic?
January 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Featured, Video Games Tips
"Classic video games" is a term which in itself is probably enough to set alarm bells ringing in the heads of many people. However, video games have been around for over a generation now, and it is about time that people let it go. Classic films have certainly been made in the last thirty-plus years, and classic novels have been penned too, as have classic albums. Therefore it is fair to say that classic video games do exist, even if the concept upsets a few people. What those games are is another debate entirely.
For many people, the ultimate classic video games are ones which were released very early on when gaming was more simple than it is now. In fact, some people will try to convince you that the old, simpler games are more deserving of the "classic" tag than ones developed ten or twenty years later. They're really just trying to convince themselves, though. Some of the more recent games are undoubtedly genuinely jaw-dropping in their playability and their innovation. If an album recorded in the last five years can be dubbed "an instant classic", so too can a video game.
Of course, what makes a game deserving of the tag "classic" is another matter. It is probably in the eye of the beholder to a large extent, as playability and enjoyment are totally subjective things. Consensus seems to settle around the real classics, which gain the title through being constantly surprising, addictive (in a good way) and original.
Gaming On Your Cell Phone – A New Generation
January 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Video Games Information
Early cell phones or mobile phones came with pre-loaded games, of which the most familiar is probably "Snake". The game, which simply featured a "snake" which you had to direct around a maze (effectively, a box in the middle of the screen which either had walls or didn't, depending on your choice), was practically inexplicable to those who had never played it, and also maddeningly addictive. Since the advent of more developed cell phones, there have been ever more developed games to go with them.
While on those earlier cell phones you essentially had the game that was pre-loaded and either liked or lumped it, WAP phones have made it possible to download the games from the Internet, and install them on your phone for unlimited play. The more advanced the phone, the more advanced the game, although for the truly massive video games that have releases not unlike those of a Hollywood movie, mobile play will probably still be a pipe dream for a while yet.
The kind of game that really thrives on mobile play is a fairly simple one which involves basic movements in any one of four directions (up, down, left and right) – anything larger will usually require a more dedicated control system and will be much better played on a console with its own controller. However, there are certain games which really thrive when played on a phone – Quiz games are particularly good, especially as it is possible to download updates with new questions when you've exhausted the old ones.
Take It To The Next Level
January 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Featured, Video Games Information
It is often said that video games are more similar to films than to the games of the past. While this is as much a reference to the increasingly realistic graphics and the more interactive relationship between your character and others than anything else, there is perhaps another reason behind it.
In the past, video games "happened" a certain way. You would play in one setting, kill a certain kind of enemy and work through to the end of that setting where you would have to kill a really big enemy, who might need to be hit fifty times or more before he'd go away. Then you would move to the next level, and repeat the process. This "multi-level" system would be very explicit in the game, with opening screens telling you which level you were on.
Now, there is a certain style of game which attracts the description "non-linear". There are multiple settings, and you move between them as you see fit. To advance the storyline you have to complete certain tasks, but not necessarily in the same order every time. How you complete those tasks can dictate the future path of the game. Games now are very like films, and while we may not script them we certainly play a part in directing them.
Of course, you will still find multi-level games, which will never die out as long as one set of gamers exists that remembers the joys of PacMan and Donkey Kong. The difference is that the new titles are far more likely to be in the newer style.
Cheats Never Prosper – Except When They Do
January 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Video Games Tips
Completing a video game from start to finish used to really mean something. In fact, in some games it was impossible. The game simply sped up incrementally, until the gamer was forced to relent or otherwise became as one with the game. Eventually, because you need to sleep, you'd have to stop. The games that could be completed often required a few months of committed playing to get to that stage – but that was never going to fly in the modern day for too long. This resulted in the development of the "cheat" code.
Usually entered by typing a certain key sequence (frequently extremely complicated – you don't get anything for nothing), cheat codes can help a gamer who is just having that bit too much trouble getting past a certain stage of the game. Keep dying because that one guy won't stop setting you on fire? What about a cheat code that makes you impervious to fire? Not so clever now, is he? Of course, cheat codes used to be guarded jealously by the software developers and had to be discovered by gamers ("Oh! You can skip this level if you press Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, A, B, START! How did I work that out?"). Now they are pretty much all on the Internet.
It may say something about us as a society that cheat codes are now necessary for just about every game. Perseverance will take you so far, but if you can resist looking up a way to overcome that guy with the Molotov cocktails, you really are practically Zen in your patience.
The Video Games That Become Movies
January 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Video Games Tips
The technical term is "cross-platform", and it applies both to games which have made the leap from one console to another as well as just about any form of media which has been adapted from one medium to another. It's not a new concept, even if the jargon is new. Often in the past, when individuals harangued one another to read a certain book, it would be seen as somewhat humorous to respond with the quip "Nah, I'll just wait until the movie comes out". This doesn't happen so much with video games, though. The quipping, that is, because games are increasingly crossing platform.
OK, so there are some games which will never make a good movie. PacMan would lack a certain something in terms of story development, it's true. It is also hard to imagine anyone particularly wanting to spend the price of a good meal and two hours of their life watching "Space Invaders: The Movie", but others have made the move and been successful in doing so. One which springs immediately to mind is Tomb Raider. Additionally, stalwarts such as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat have been released to mixed reviews.
One reason often advanced for this is that video games are becoming increasingly filmic in terms of their look and feel, but the truth is that some of the most filmic games – Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row among them – have not been cross-platformed and many argue against it ever happening. A good video game stands and falls on its own, many argue, but obviously there are those who disagree.

The Days Of "Bleep, Bloop" Are No More
As children, many of us will have played video games that relied entirely on gameplay to make them popular. Some of the earlier video games had absolutely no incidental music, and any sound that they did include was (theoretically) made by the onscreen character, the weapon they were using, and the characters in hot pursuit. Where games did have music, it was frequently barely distinguishable from the other sounds, and it was all a mess of bleeps and bloops.
Perhaps it is a consequence of innovation where video games began to be sold on CDs, which held a lot more information and allowed a much freer hand with the sound, but video games now are frequently accompanied by specifically-written music written and scored by professionals. Like a lot of music, some of it is still unlistenable bilge – but some of it is surprisingly good and really adds to the game. In other cases, the soundtrack is provided by established bands – either original content or known hits – and there has been an innovation of "in game radio stations", familiar to fans of Grand Theft Auto.
This is, in its own way, a real flip from the period in the 1990s when someone thought it would be a good idea to use video game music samples to make dance tracks. Games such as Tetris and Super Mario Brothers were subjected to this treatment, and one hopes that the person who thought it was a good idea is now getting the help he needs.
Obligatory Merchandising – Where Would We Be Without It?
Not so long ago, when a movie was completed and released for the public to watch, there was a very simple pattern to things. The movie was scripted, then edited, then recorded and directed, then cut and shown to a test audience, then tidied up and released to a waiting public. Now, pretty much no blockbuster movie is complete without a tie-in video game. Well, some are, of course. An 1800s costume drama where all of the action is in what is said (and left unsaid) will not work particularly well in a gaming context. Every action movie, however, requires its own video game.
In truth, a good movie does not necessarily make for a good game. You can like the character and appreciate the storyline, but for a video game to work it needs to have a real sense of interaction between what the gamer does and the eventual climax. Movie merchandisers do realize that someone might enjoy a game so much that they will go and see the movie or buy it on DVD, so the better software houses do tend to get the contracts to make the tie-in games these days.
One thing that is commonly recognized by gamers, however, is the fact that quite often a movie tie-in video game is very heavily based on an existing game, but with the familiar characters, settings and storyline all but superimposed onto the game. Selling to a gaming audience is not the same as selling to movie fans, and this is a risky stratagem. The best movie tie-ins remain those which are developed synergistically at the same time as the movie is being made.
Testing Your Mind – The Video Games Where No-one Gets Shot
The popular view of video games seems to be that they entail someone sitting with a controller in their hands, shooting people on a screen. Of course, this is a simplistic view, and there are several other kinds of video games. However, the ones which fit in with a stereotypical idea of what the games entail tend to involve controlling someone's physical activity in a very simplistic way. Many video games, however, are based around a more considered, statistical way of getting to an end goal. It doesn't fit in with the "rots your brain" crowd's idea of what gaming entails, but never mind.
Sports management simulations are very popular. Perhaps the most popular of all is the soccer management game Football Manager. Unlike a great many sports simulations, at no point in this game do you control a player and choose his immediate path to goal. Instead, you take all of the duties of a soccer manager and try to create a winning team. You sign players, you choose tactics, you give motivational team talks and you try to analyse the computer-generated opponent to get the best results.
As this game gets developed and updated at least once a year, new elements are added. It is possible to release a statement designed to play mind games with your opponent before a big match, and players who aren't getting much time on the field will express their disillusionment with you. It cannot be long before the game develops to a point where you leak stories to the press about players who are annoying you – but there is such a thing as "too realistic".
The Controversy Angle – Selling Newspapers Through Video Games
It is hard to talk about video games for a long time without mentioning Grand Theft Auto. And it is hard to mention Grand Theft Auto without talking about the controversy about the game, a controversy which is whipped up every time people have a difficulty in trying to sell newspapers or attract viewers or listeners to topical talk shows. You know how it goes – the game encourages violence, and it is responsible for lawless youth. It is a complete logical non-sequitur, but it gets people angry and it shifts blame from more deserving targets.
One of the major elements of the criticism aimed at Grand Theft Auto is the idea that in an average playing of the game you get the opportunity to pay a prostitute for sex and when the transaction is complete you beat her to death and take the money back. While it is indeed true that you can do this in some of the games, it is equally true that it is more than likely that people playing the game never even thought of doing so before it was reported far and wide on TV talk shows.
Video games will portray things that should not happen in real life, and it is fair to hold the opinion that this is a shame. However, the same moral standards do not seem to apply to classic works of literature and film-making, or indeed to depictions of real life. In video games, you can indeed do things that are wrong, but it might be more productive to concentrate on the people who are doing things like this for real, without needing the encouragement of a video game.

Father, I am so amazed and thankful for Your power to multiply our meager possessions. For if Your son can take a little boy's lunch and feed thousands, I wonder what You can do with the storehouses that we have.
"Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God's blessing..." Mark 6:41
God, teach us to do as Jesus did, and take our possessions, our pantries, and our bank accounts, and lift them up toward heaven. We ask for Your blessing to multiply them. God, we don't ask this to "feed" ourselves, but to "feed" Your hungry people. -In Jesus name, Amen

Great tool storage
Comment:I just purchased this box, not having seen the companion box (DWST17807) which is the same size and less money. I was going to store my two, new, 1.25 HP, small, Dewalt routers with the fixed and plunge base. They came with a soft tool bag which was nice, however it would not work with impact damage. Both routers with accessories fit very well in the box after I removed the "guts". GREAT CASE. I just purchased two of the DWST17807 boxes. I'll probably put this box back together and use one of the others as a replacement for this case I'm currently using. The current trend with tool suppliers, Dewalt, Makita etc. is to supply only a cardboard box or a soft bag. Dewalt filled the bill and is offering hard cases to put your tools in to keep them from being damaged with rough handling. Thanks to Dewalt for such a high quality tool case....DavidTemecula

ArtsPlace....Mentoring Youth Development Through The Arts!
In 1995 the Rockford Area Arts Council created ArtsPlace, an innovative program that provides Rockford area youth ages 14-18 with job training in the arts. The "artist apprentices" work in teams under the guidance of professional teaching artists, selected with care by the Arts Council for their talent and ability to form positive working relationships with young people. The teams work in a variety of media, including furniture painting, garden mosaics, murals, pastels, theater arts and dance.
The artist apprentices learn valuable skills including attendance, punctuality, positive attitude and productivity which are applicable to future employment. They learn that to be successful at their jobs they must practice good teamwork skills, and they develop other skills vital to the workplace such as problem solving, teamwork, decision-making, and good communications.
Of course they also produce quality artwork sold at the retail ArtsPlace Store, and sell tickets to their performances. It's all part of the "business of art." it's a real job! ArtsPlace is....a program of the Rockford Area Arts Couincil from mid-June through the beginning of August.
ArtsPlace is supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Illinois Arts Council, Rockford Park District, the United Way of Rock River Valley and generous donations that allow us to offer this program at no cost.

Covering Dallas, Monmouth, Independence, Falls City and surrounding areas since 1868
WOU head coach Greg Bruce, right, took a medical leave of absence last week. His return is not known.
January 02, 2013
MONMOUTH - Western Oregon University women's basketball head coach Greg Bruce is stepping down, for now, as he turns his focus to his health.
The sixth-year WOU coach took a medical leave of absence beginning Thursday for a condition that was not released by the university.
"It's a condition he's been dealing with for a while, but I can't get into the details of it," Jon Carey, WOU's interim athletic director, said. "He's not dealing with a life-threatening situation at the moment or anything like that, but doctors advised that he needs to back away and put his health first."
The timetable for Bruce to return is not known, but Carey said he would hope that by March the coach, who is not hospitalized, would be able to rejoin the team.
Assistants Renae Gregg and Katie Torland will take over all coaching duties during Bruce's absence, which started with Saturday's 65-64 overtime loss against Northwest Christian that was played after the Itemizer-Observer.
Both coaches are in their third seasons as WOU assistants, and Torland was a player for the Wolves from 2007-10.
Gregg played under Bruce at Portland State (1989-93), played overseas for six seasons and has several years of high school basketball coaching experience.
"I feel comfortable with the coaching aspect, but we will be working with them to determine what level of additional support we can provide in terms of travel and other areas," Carey said.
Neither coach is a full-time employee at the school.

Powered Flight's First Recip
Charles Taylor and the Wright Brothers
Their goal was for the engine to run at 875 rpm which would drive the propellers at 305 rpm creating a static thrust of 100 pounds. Their "test equipment" comprised a 50-pound box of sand suspended from a pulley with a rope attached to one end of the machine whose center skids were supported on rollers. After switching the sprocket sizes several times they finally achieved a propeller rpm of 350 which created 135 pounds of static thrust. Testing of the fuel system resulted in an estimated engine running time of 18 minutes. By early December, they were ready for the "test track."
Their first successful flight occurred on Dec. 14 with Wilbur flying just over 100 feet for 3.5 seconds, before stalling the wing and crashing to the ground. But the damage was minor and the brothers reported: "The machinery all worked in an entirely satisfactory manner, and seems reliable. The power is ample . . . There is now no question of final success."
On the morning of Dec. 17, 1903, Orville Wright made their historic 12-second flight. They took turns that day with Wilbur piloting the final flight of 852 feet.
The engine was completely disassembled a year later to make detailed drawings which were incorporated into blueprints for the later 1904 and 1905 models and their engineering feats were documented.

Welcome to the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program at Wake Forest University. You join us at a most exciting time. The University is poised to launch an entirely revamped MA in Liberal Studies, and you could be among the first group of students, blazing a new trail in the graduate study of the liberal arts at one of the nation's leading universities.
- From August 2012 the MALS degree at Wake Forest University will be available on a full-time as well as on a part-time basis.
- The new MALS degree will be built around one of two integrated themes. You will be free to choose courses focused on "American Cultural Studies" or on "Global Studies", drawing on the expertise of four core departments: English, History, Political Studies and Communication.
- You will be free to supplement those core courses with others provided across the full range of the liberal arts: courses in religion, sociology, economics, humanities, psychology, the performing arts and area studies.
- Generous scholarships will be available to help finance full-time study, allocated by need on a first-come, first-served basis.
- The full scope of the University's mentoring and career development services will be available to all MALS students throughout their period of study.
In accord with the university's long commitment to liberal arts education, the new program will explore timeless human questions and studies essential human experiences through the perspectives of diverse academic disciplines. Placing into dialogue the traditional branches of the liberal arts curriculum, Liberal Studies at Wake Forest is especially devoted to the interdisciplinary examination of human ideas and values. Through exposing students to rich interactions between and among various ways of interpreting the world, the Liberal Studies Program challenges students to engage in nuanced contemplation of life's most complex problems and prepares these students for further study in interdisciplinary doctoral programs. The Liberal Studies Program thus encourages the ongoing pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake as well as trains students for exciting scholarly futures.
The Liberal Studies student body is as varied and interesting as its curriculum. Our students range in age from their mid-twenties to their late sixties, and they represent all walks of life. They share the common desire to keep learning at a sophisticated level, to pursue their personal intellectual passions, and to develop their fullest human potential. With their expansive life experiences and heterogeneous intellectual backgrounds, our students not only benefit from, but also contribute significantly to the success of the Liberal Studies Program. Along with faculty devoted to the liberal ideals represented by Wake Forest University, our students form a vital, exciting, and immensely rewarding learning community. I sincerely hope you will join us.

A recent press release from Bud Selig's office stated that Major League Baseball has begun preliminary work on a new memorial. The memorial will take the shape of an enormous stove with one of the burners being permanately hot to the touch. It has been decided that the statue will be placed outside of the new Yankee Stadium in New York. Commissioner Selig commented, "This is a great thing that we have decided to do in honor of the countless owners and fans who have been brutally setback with their finances during the so called "hot stove" period. We can all think of at least one occurence, probably more, when our favorite team spent way too much money on a player that couldn't start for the local little league team. "
We should all make the pilgrimage to New York in memory of the fallen finances.

If you're a bull the Federal Reserve has been mixing a cocktail that's blown your socks off.
And with the S&P flirting with all time highs, pros on Wall Street are wondering when the Fed will take the punchbowl off the table. That is, they're wondering when the Fed will begin to wind down its ultra-loose monetary policy.
(In case you're wondering why the punchbowl reference, Jim Cramer said it was first uttered by William McChesney Martin, the longest serving Federal Reserve Chairman, from 1951 to 1970, who said the Fed's job is to take away the punch bowl just as the party gets going.)
The idea of losing the punchbowl is frightening to some pros who aren't sure the stock market can advance without the punch or stimulus as a crutch.
And their worst fears surfaced today after Atlanta Fed president Dennis Lockhart said the Federal Reserve may be able to reduce its bond-buying stimulus plan before the end of this year.
Largely, by driving interest rates to almost 0% and by buying $85 billion per month in Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities, the Fed has essentially forced investors into the market.
That is, return is so low in the bond market, there are few alternatives but dividend yielding stocks.
If the Fed changes policy and allows rates to rise, even by a small amount, there's fear the stock market could tumble – and tumble badly.
However, Jim Cramer thinks those fears are misguided.
"I am not worried about the punch bowl being taken away," he said.
"Do you think this Fed, which has aggressively stimulated the economy, is going to take the foot off the gas pedal, now? "Think about it!" Cramer said back in February.
Cramer is convinced the Fed has been too committed to stimulus for too long to withdraw it now and risk consequences. If anything, Cramer thinks the Fed errs on the conservative side which, in this case, would be inflation.

Small Drug Stocks with Promising Pipeline
Cramer remains confident that Bernanke and company will remain aggressive and committed to lowering the unemployment rate to the Fed's target which is 6.5% unemployment.
"Ben's not about to take away the punch bowl, In fact, if anything he's about to make us do shots," said Cramer with a grin.
Therefore Cramer thinks stocks remain attractive and he expects the market to rally further. "If it's got growth, if it's got dividends, if it's almost all domestic," Cramer said, chances are it will attract buyers.

Jerusalem Day

Jerusalem Day 2007, Jaffa Road
|Official name

|Observed by
|Israelis, Jews
|The reunification of Jerusalem under Israeli control after the Six-Day War. The first time Jews control Jerusalem since the Destruction of the Second Holy Temple by the Romans in 70 AD.
|Iyar 28
|2013 date

|2014 date

Jerusalem Day (Hebrew: יום ירושלים, Yom Yerushalayim) is an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City in June 1967. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared Jerusalem Day a minor religious holiday to thank God for victory in the Six-Day War and for answering the 2,000-year-old prayer of "Next Year in Jerusalem".
The day is marked by state ceremonies, memorial services for soldiers who died in the battle for Jerusalem, parades through downtown Jerusalem, reciting the Hallel prayer with blessings in synagogues, and saying the Pesukei Dezimra of Sabbath and High Holidays.[1] There are also lectures on Jerusalem-related topics, singing and dancing, and special television programming.[2] Schoolchildren throughout the country learn about the significance of Jerusalem, and schools in Jerusalem hold festive assemblies.[3] The day is also marked in Jewish schools around the world.[4][5]
Under the 1947 UN Partition Plan, which proposed the establishment of two states in the British Mandate of Palestine—a Jewish state and an Arab state—Jerusalem was to be an international city, neither exclusively Arab nor Jewish for a period of ten years, at which point a referendum would be held by Jerusalem residents to determine which country to join. The Jewish leadership accepted the plan, including the internationalization of Jerusalem, but the Arabs rejected the proposal.[6]
As soon as Israel declared its independence in 1948, it was attacked en masse by its Arab neighbours. Jordan took over east Jerusalem and the Old City. Israeli forces made a concerted attempt to dislodge them, but were unable to do so. By the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War Jerusalem was left divided between Israel and Jordan. The Old City and East Jerusalem continued to be occupied by Jordan, and the Jewish residents were forced out. Under Jordanian rule, half of the Old City's fifty-eight synagogues were demolished and the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives was plundered for its tombstones, which were used as paving stones and building materials.[7]
This state of affairs changed in 1967 as a result of the Six-Day War. Before the start of the war, Israel sent a message to King Hussein of Jordan saying that Israel would not attack Jerusalem or the West Bank as long as the Jordanian front remained quiet. Urged by Egyptian pressure and based on deceptive intelligence reports, Jordan began shelling civilian locations in Israel[8] to which Israel responded on June 6 by opening the eastern front. The following day, June 7, 1967 (28 Iyar 5727), Israel captured the Old City of Jerusalem.
Later that day, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan declared what is often quoted during Yom Yerushalayim:[9][10]
This morning, the Israel Defense Forces liberated Jerusalem. We have united Jerusalem, the divided capital of Israel. We have returned to the holiest of our holy places, never to part from it again. To our Arab neighbors we extend, also at this hour—and with added emphasis at this hour—our hand in peace. And to our Christian and Muslim fellow citizens, we solemnly promise full religious freedom and rights. We did not come to Jerusalem for the sake of other peoples' holy places, and not to interfere with the adherents of other faiths, but in order to safeguard its entirety, and to live there together with others, in unity.[11]
The war ended with a ceasefire on June 11, 1967.
On May 12, 1968, the government proclaimed a new holiday—Jerusalem Day—to be celebrated on the 28th of Iyar, the Hebrew date on which the divided city of Jerusalem became one. On March 23, 1998, the Knesset passed the Jerusalem Day Law, making the day a national holiday.
One of the themes of Jerusalem Day, based on a verse from the Book of Psalms, is "Ke'ir shechubra la yachdav"—"Built-up Jerusalem is like a city that was joined together" (Psalm 122:3).[3]
Religious observance[edit]
Religious Zionists recite special holiday prayers with Hallel.[12] Although Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik was reluctant to authorise its inclusion in the liturgy,[13] other scholars, namely Meshulam Roth and others who held positions in the Israeli rabbinate, advocated the reciting of Hallel with its blessings, regarding it as a duty to do so. Today, various communities follow differing practices.[14]
Some Haredim (strictly Orthodox), who do not recognise the religious significance of the State of Israel, do not observe Yom Yerushalayim.[15][16] Rabbi Moses Feinstein maintained that adding holidays to the Jewish calendar was itself problematic.[17]
40th anniversary celebrations[edit]
The slogan for Jerusalem Day 2007, marking the 40th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, was "Mashehu Meyuhad leKol Ehad" (Hebrew: משהו מיוחד לכל אחד, Something Special for Everyone), punning on the words "meyuhad" (special) and "me'uhad" (united). To mark the anniversary, the approach to Jerusalem on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway was illuminated with decorative blue lighting which remained in place throughout the year.
