Home / About / About Emmaus / Our History
In 1938 a young missionary in Belgian Congo became burdened by the need for a school in North America where young people could gather for intensive study of the Bible in a context where the principles of New Testament Christianity could be taught without compromise. Shortly thereafter, R.E. Harlow left his Congo mission station and returned to Toronto. In collaboration with two friends, John Smart and C. Ernest Tatham, he undertook the work of organizing Emmaus Bible School. The growth of the school's ministry is indicative of the divine blessing it has enjoyed.
The school's name appears just once in the Bible in Luke 24:13. Although Emmaus was a very small village, the events that occurred near there make its name one to be remembered. Three days after the death of the Lord Jesus, two of His disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus. They were depressed that their Master had been killed because they were hoping it was He who was going to redeem Israel. The Lord joined them in their walk, and though they didn't recognize Him, He talked to them about His resurrection, and showed them in all the Scripture "the things concerning Himself." These disciples, later reporting the incident to other disciples, recounted with joy,
Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us? (Luke 24:32)
This incident explains the use of the name Emmaus. It expresses the purpose of the college: a place where young men and women come to have the Scriptures opened to them, where they learn "the things concerning Himself."

Bowler Lasith Malinga claims the man of the match honours after taking four wickets in Sri Lanka's 20-run win over Cricket World Cup hosts England in Leeds.

Sri Lanka pace bowler Lasith Malinga ripped through the England batting line-up with four wickets as the former champions handed the favourites a 20-run defeat in a low-scoring World Cup match at Headingley on Friday.
Chasing 233 for victory on a slow track, England struggled against veteran Malinga's variations before they fell to their second defeat of the tournament, squandering an opportunity to join holders Australia at the top of the standings.
Malinga, who finished with figures of 4-43, became only the fourth bowler to capture 50 or more wickets in the competition after Australia's Glenn McGrath (71), his compatriot Muttiah Muralitharan (68) and Pakistan's Wasim Akram (55).
Lasith Malinga is the Player of the Match!

"We stuck to our basic plan -- line and length, no loose balls and added in some variations and bouncers... and ended up winning," man of the match Malinga said.
England were in control after a slow start as Joe Root made a patient half-century, but he was caught behind off Malinga for 57 to trigger a collapse, and despite Ben Stokes' unbeaten 82 ensuring a tense finish, the hosts fell short.
"In the chase, we didn't do the basics of getting substantial partnerships going," England skipper Eoin Morgan said.
"We had a couple of good individual performances but Sri Lanka thoroughly deserved to win.
"We didn't do enough to win the game and even if we had nicked it then it would have been us robbing the game with an outstanding individual performance."
After having Jonny Bairs tow trapped in front for a duck in the second ball of the England innings, Malinga sent back opener James Vince in the seventh over.
He then had the dangerous Root caught behind, although the batsman was at fault for chasing a ball down the leg side and a review confirmed a faint edge.
Malinga claimed his 51st World Cup wicket when Jos Buttler was adjudged leg before and missed a five-for when Stokes was dropped on 57 by Kusal Mendis in his final over.

Modest total
Earlier, England's pace duo of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood claimed three wickets each to restrict Sri Lanka to a modest total of 232-9 from their 50 overs with Angelo Mathews top-scoring with an unbeaten 85 off 115 balls.
Archer's 3-52 made him the joint highest wicket-taker in the tournament alongside Australia's Mitchell Starc with 15.
Sri Lanka began poorly after winning the toss and electing to bat first, losing openers Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Perera inside three overs but Avishka Fernando steadied the ship before being dismissed one run short of his second ODI half-century.
Angelo Mathews stitched together a 71-run partnership with Kusal (46) to lay the platform for a competitive total.
Spinner Adil Rashid took two wickets in two deliveries in the 30th over to further turn the screws on Sri Lanka before Archer and Wood (3-40) wreaked havoc towards the end.
England next face Australia at Lord's on Tuesday while Sri Lanka meet South Africa on June 28.

Pelion Plains Sleuthing
September 26, 2019 September 24, 2019 by peter
The Pelion Plains are wonderful place to visit in good weather. Following the Arm River Track, the old Mole Creek Track, the crown of Mount Pelion East is your first glimpse of the majestic and distinctive mountains that surround these remote plains. At Lake Ayr you get an oblique look at Mount Oakleigh. A few kilometres further on, as you leave the thin forest, you start to glimpse the rest of the mountains. However, it is a few hundred metres later just after you cross Douglas Creek that the bold face of Mount Pelion West stops you in your tracks. It is the backdrop to the open plains and to your right Mount Oakleigh reveals its long rocky columns. Mount Ossa and all its friends are to the left.

The Pelion Plains also have a very long human history. There are many reminders of past but they are slowly fading. It seems that some remain to be discovered before they are gone forever.
November 2017 was the 100th birthday party for Old Pelion Hut. The Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service put on a celebration which included bushwalkers, members of the Mountain Huts Preservation Society, the press and a visit by someone looking a lot like Bert Nichols.1 It was a great reason to visit the Pelion Plains. Ian Hayes, Eddie Firth and I stayed for a while to do some sleuthing. And made some interesting finds that we'll tell you about another time. On the way out we decided to check out an old stockyard near Lake Ayr.
The stockyard is slowly disappearing. The deadwood race that leads to it still endures but you really have look for it even though the Arm River Track runs through it. Simon Cubit has written about the history of the fence and stockyard;
Deadwood Race at Lake Ayr (based on Link map)
In 1926 they (John Cox and Charles Day) built a stockyard on a grassy knob near what is now called Stockyard Creek. It was a substantial structure to which they added a deadwood race over five hundred metres long that ran from the stockyard to Lake Ayr. Once the cattle were on the move, the theory was that they would run along the fence and be forced into the yard. Put to the test, the plan was only partially successful.2
The stockyard was harder than ever to find. It took the bloodhounds, Ian and Eddie, to find its collapsed remains. We spent a little time there looking at the way that the stockyard was made, how trees had been felled, the arrangement of the yard and how the slip rails were put into the posts. The scene is nothing like a photo of Simon's from 1987 when most of the structure was standing. Almost everything has fallen and covered by bush.3 There was something else that I wanted to look at nearby.
Part of the Stockyards (Photo P Brown 2017)
Corner Post for Slip Rails (Photo I Hayes 2017)
Many years ago I had found some stumps a little way south of the old stockyards. I never really worked out what why they were there. It was time to make some sense of them.
We found the stumps about 150 metres south of the stockyards. They were near a sheltered forest along an unnamed stream. They looked like gum trees and they had been felled by an axe many years ago. The fallen trees were no were to be seen, they had been moved or burnt. The stumps were very weathered and probably not too many years from disappearing. There were even more, and much bigger stumps, in the forest where grander trees had grown.
Some of the Stump (Photo P Brown 2017)Why were they felled? This area is full of history so working out their purpose was a challenge. The survey for the 1891 Mole Creek and Zeehan Railway passed through here. But the stumps were an isolated group, not a line. And they would not have survived the 130 years.
The stumps were old as shown by being axe cut and very decayed, a lot like those at the stockyards. Were they for it? But there was plenty of timber at the yards themselves.
The final clue was just in the edge of the forest. It was a small level clearing with an almost invisible but distinct square depression. This looked just like a hut site. It was about 5 by 5 metres as measured by the indentations in the ground. These were either where the bed logs for the walls had sat, the drip line from the hut's roof or a drainage ditch to keep water from the hut. There was even a small worn rut along one edge that was probably where people had funnelled through a long disappeared doorway. For a hut it was an ideal position; shelter, water and timber.
The Hut Site (Photo P Brown 2017)
The mystery of the stumps was solved but another one emerged to take its place. The stumps were from building a small hut. But whose hut? There was not a single part of the structure left (but huts do often burn down). There hasn't been any mention of a hut in this area and we didn't see any artefacts to help identify who used it and why.
Could it have been a hunter's camp? It certainly hadn't been used for drying skins because that would have needed a lot more stumps for the timber needed to fuel the drying fire.
The best guess that we can make is based on it being the nearest well sheltered location to the stockyard. And the stumps being about the same age as the stockyard stumps. It was probably a camp for Charles Day and John Cox while they were building the stockyard. Later it might have been their mustering camp. If it was it lasted less than six years because Old Pelion Hut was used for the 1932 and later musters.4 We just can't be sure because there is no written or oral history that puts a hut in this place. It doesn't even make the authoritative list of huts in the Mersey and Forth area made by Basil Steers.5
Do you know something that will solve the mystery? The one thing we really do know is that there is much more history in this remote place than anyone can guess and it can pop up at anytime. Just keep your eyes open for the possibilities.

2 thoughts on "Pelion Plains Sleuthing"
some years ago when I was talking about the trees cut and left in the fenced area at Sardine creek hut site it was suggested to me, this was to allow free view of their horses, to better proteck them from Tassie Tigers.
Hi David, thanks for the information. There was no sign of the logs at the cut stumps, so our guess that there wasn't a horse yard there. The area of the hut site in the scrub is too small for a yard. Great to have your input

Was listening to the RATM cover of Bruce Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad.
We'll, where does it go? Probably open ended philosophical answer but it could be just simpler and I'm not getting it. Death maybe? White Castle?
Based on my quick reading of the lyrics, I would say that the road either leads to further misery, or death (maybe suicide).
AC/DC has alrerady said it best.
On a personal note, I think the highway leads as much "away" from something as it leads "towards" anything.
The highway, like any highway, connects two ultimate paths. The one he is referencing is hell or heaven. In the song he talks about the "highway alive tonight" prior to the bible so I think he is talking about how the majority are on the highway southbound to hell.

He started out with a little card table, a few cucumbers and a sign proclaiming "Robert Is Here" and now, more than 50 years later, the world has beat a path to Robert Moehling's door.
You can't get to the southern entrance of Everglades National Park without passing this world famous roadside attraction. Stopping here to admire the cornucopia of genuine Florida goodies is a right of passage for those that make the trek from down the street or half way around the world.
The tropical fruit milkshakes, the flavored honeys, the incredible selection of jams and jellies, the completely unique and original sauces, the fresh produce, the most extensive selection of exotic fruits and vegetables... is all here. Perhaps a bit overwhelming at first, take your time browsing the shelves to appreciate the depth and breadth of Robert's copious offerings, then load up on all your favorites.
You might have to stand in line to get one, but I'd say the key lime milkshake here is well worth the wait.

Annual Data Report compiled by Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Registry finds progress is being made, but there is still further to go
Report released by Cystic Fibrosis Canada today provides valuable insights about cystic fibrosis in Canada
Toronto (December 8, 2020) - Today Cystic Fibrosis Canada released the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Registry's 2019 Annual Data Report, which has been generated regularly since 1976, examining key trends as well as health outcomes for people living with cystic fibrosis across Canada. Insights from the 2019 report support that early diagnoses, as well as advancements in available treatments, continue to improve both quality of life and survival for the thousands of Canadians with cystic fibrosis (CF).
While the report provides a number of indications that progress is being made, there remain areas where improvement is still needed. Canada is losing too many in the cystic fibrosis community, too soon. There exists a heavy burden on people living with cystic fibrosis, who often spend a significant amount of time in hospitals and seeking care. When it comes to understanding and advancing the care of Canadians with CF, Cystic Fibrosis Canada's CF Registry is a useful tool, both for cystic fibrosis clinicians and researchers.
"When we take the time to pull together and analyze the large amount of data supplied by clinicians about those living with cystic fibrosis, we're able to see not only the bigger picture in terms of advancements but also what gaps exist for the community," says John Wallenburg, Chief Scientific Officer at Cystic Fibrosis Canada. "By tracking clinical data over time we can clearly see that significant progress has been made over the years but we are still losing too many, too young, and the disease is still placing too big a burden on people with cystic fibrosis. The current median age of survival, while it is higher than it's ever been, is still not high enough and we must continue to pursue innovative research and treatments to improve not just the duration, but the quality of life."
Key findings from the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Registry's 2019 Annual Data Report include:
There were a recorded 4,344 people living with cystic fibrosis
There were 116 new diagnoses, and 66% of these new diagnoses were identified through newborn screening
62% of people with cystic fibrosis were adults, making cystic fibrosis no longer only a pediatric disease, as it was twenty years ago when the majority were children
The median age of survival in 2019 was 54.3 years, a slight increase over the previous year, and even more promising when compared to the median age of survival twenty years ago of 35.5 years
Individuals with cystic fibrosis attended 18,960 clinic visits and spent 25,246 days in hospital
34% of adults have CF-related diabetes
46 individuals received a lung transplant. The estimated median survival post lung-transplant is 10.6 years
"The data collected in the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Registry helps us to better understand the impact CF has on Canadians living with this disease, to track clinical outcomes over time, and to respond to emerging healthcare issues like we saw with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic," says Dr. Anne Stephenson, Medical Director and CF Clinician at St. Michael's Hospital. "As COVID-19 spread globally, 17 countries collaborated to track infections within their respective national CF registries in order to understand the impact this virus was having on the international CF community. This would not have been possible without the CF Registry. Together, we have been able to provide the community with facts and data that allow us to make recommendations to people with cystic fibrosis during these uncertain and challenging times."
The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Registry is a comprehensive database comprising information for more than 99% of the Canadian CF population. Advancing the available treatment options and improving outcomes for Canadians living with cystic fibrosis is at the core of Cystic Fibrosis Canada's mission. Not only has the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Registry been instrumental in understanding the impact of COVID-19 on people with cystic fibrosis, but it has helped guide research including a study conducted this year on the potential health outcome for Canadians with cystic fibrosis if they gain access to drugs such as Trikafta in 2021, and the repercussions that a delay in access could have.
Working collaboratively with clinicians and CF patients across the country, as well as thanks to the generous support of donors, Cystic Fibrosis Canada uses tools such as the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Registry not only to have a clear picture of advancements that have been made - but what is needed so that people living with cystic fibrosis experience better quality of life and continued improvements to their care.
Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. There is no cure. Of the Canadians with cystic fibrosis who died in 2018, half were under the age of 33. Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, degenerative multi-system disease that affects mainly the lungs and digestive system. In the lungs, where the effects are most devastating, a build-up of thick mucus causes severe respiratory problems. Mucus and protein also build up in the digestive tract, making it difficult to digest and absorb nutrients from food. In addition to the physical effects of the disease, mental health concerns are emerging; anxiety and depression are common among this population. Double lung transplants are the final option for patients with end-stage disease; most fatalities of people with CF are due to lung disease.
About Cystic Fibrosis Canada
Cystic Fibrosis Canada has dramatically changed the cystic fibrosis story. We have advanced research and care that has more than doubled life expectancy. Since being founded by parents in 1960, Cystic Fibrosis Canada has grown into a leading organization with a central role engaging people living with cystic fibrosis, parents and caregivers, volunteers, researchers and healthcare professionals, government and donors. We work together to change lives through treatments, research, information and support. Despite our remarkable progress together, we are not yet done. Not when a child with cystic fibrosis still has only a 50% chance of living beyond their 50s. We will keep pushing, keep going further until all people with cystic fibrosis can and do experience everything life has to offer — and enjoy everything life has to offer.

Well after the last poor effort on offense I think the Pacers bounce back tonight. Hardly any threes and no inside game spelled L O S S against Portland. Tonight I expect a W I N.
The Knicks aren't good. This might be a bit like the game vs the Cavs. If we don't make our shots, but still have good ball movement, this should be enough for a win. A game to practice on our habits.
Trying to enjoy every Pacers game as if it is the last!
So did PG say something along the lines of what is in your sig pacersgroningen?
KOQ needs to get minutes tonight.
This was when PG made the trade request. I had not changed my sig for a while because of the red screen of death. Sorted now.

I'm wearing my Pacers Halloween T-shirt from opening night 2007. Still in good shape, I wear it once a year.
Does this meet dress code?
It is Halloween night and VO is into it.
Knicks can get hot and get dangerous. It's important to control the game flow.
On the other issue. I really, really, really didn't like how pacers used their bench last game. For whatever reason, Portland is a not convenient opponent for the Pacers. But, for a good stretches, Pacers played well. What pissed me of - the use of the bench. bench was slaughtered, rotations didn't do much good. If a game is important, and if certain combinations are working - why get away from that? If the game is an easy cruising or out of the reach - sure, let's play whoever Nate wants. But against Portland, going small against them with reserves was critical. Leaf is a work in a progress, but that progress is difficult to find. On the other hand - Domas always play well with traditional, brute centers. He did that with Karno in Gonzaga, he plays very well with JV or Gudaitis on LT national team. lineup of KOQ, Domas, McBuckets, Tyreke and CoJo can hold their own. everybody can shoot, everybody can pass, KOQ and Domas provides with very good quality meat in the paint. But...last game only Domas tried to do something, but failed. Some games job of a head coach is to go with all weapons blazing. I don't see Nate with that approach.
Anyway, mistakes should be analyzed and not repeated in the future. I just don't like loosing at home. It's your house, your court, your pride. Better take care of that.

Well said. I would really lo see more OQuinn. TJ is not ready yet.

U.S. imposes counter terrorism sanctions on 5 people - Treasury website
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Tuesday imposed counter terrorism sanctions on five people it tied to Iran, designating them each as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), according to the U.S. Treasury Department's website.
Reuters reported on Monday that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo plans to use newly declassified U.S. intelligence to publicly accuse Iran of ties to al Qaeda in a speech on Tuesday, two people familiar with the matter said, as part of his last-minute offensive against Tehran before handing over to the incoming Biden administration.
(Reporting by Daphne Psaledakis)


Alistair Moffat - formerly Director of the Edinburgh fringe and Director of programmes for Scottish Television; mastermind behind the hugely successful Borders Book Festival; author of the Reivers - major TV tie in for the recent TV series and The Wall (as in Hadrian's) - another six-part networked TV series to be presented by Alistair and Paralympic gold medallist Dame Tannie Grey-Thompson, due for broadcast next month.
Gillian Galbraith - until recently Gillian was an advocate specialising in medical negligence cases and was the legal correspondent for the Scottish Farmer magazine, as well as writing on legal matters for the Times. 'Blood on the Water' is the first in a new crime series featuring Detective Alice Rice and set around Edinburgh. She has drawn on her professional experience as an advocate and has already attracted much praise for her debut novel.
David Robinson - Literary editor of the Scotsman. David has interviewed so many writers and read even more books, I have no idea how he can possibly come up with just three choices. He reckons that the books that have made the most impact on him, certainly wouldn't be the same as his favourite, and almost definitely wouldn't be the same as the ones he'd take to the desert island!
You'll have to wait until Monday to find out what Peter, and all the other panellists, choose in the end.
Tickets cost just £5.00 and are available from any East Lothian Public Library. A glass of wine or soft drink, crisps, olives and oatcakes and cheese are included in the ticket price and there will be a break during the evening to allow the audience to replenish their glasses at the hotel bar.

You may have heard of charities in the areas you live in, but do you really know what they do? In the South Bay area, there are many different charities like Live Like Doug, Jimmy Miller Foundation, and GoFundMe pages. Local charities are becoming more popular because of social media outlets. Social media has helped many charities to become more popular in the areas they are based in by getting the word out to people near the charities. By extending charities to online, people who are interested in the charity can learn more about the reason for it and when there are events to help out at and donate to.
The Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation helps people with emotional or physical difficulties benefit from the and healing powers of the ocean through activities and programs. Friends, family, and volunteers all work together to help wounded warriors and troubled children find peace through surfing the way Jimmy would teach his students. Jimmy wished to share his love of the oceans with everyone. In 1998, Jimmy turned his dream of spreading his philosophy into reality by forming his own surf company, Pure Surfing Experience. He taught surfing to anyone wanting to learn, created popular local contests, organized CampSurf to run summer day camps for the City of Manhattan Beach, and week-long away camps at awesome spots like Jalama. Jimmy said, "Everyone should be able to safely enjoy the oceans because they are good for you physically and mentally."
The Miller Foundation serves Marines of the Wounded Warriors with ocean therapy sessions at Camp Pendleton and 29 Palms. It uses surfing to help veterans and active-duty soldiers return to regular life and deal with pain. Programs happen twice per month at Camp Pendleton. The sessions give the Marines the opportunity to learn how to surf in a safe environment. The program offers discussions run by therapists that help with the process of recovery. Through the Ocean Therapy program, the Marines are first taught the basics of surfing on-land. Then, the Marines learn to surf with an instructor in the water. The Foundation helps Marines to be successful in and out of the water. The JMF embraces these men and women with opportunities to have the healing effects of the ocean, while also celebrating what they did for our country. Sessions are located at Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach. Anyone with a love of the ocean including surf instructors, therapists, friends, and supporters are encouraged to volunteer to help.
The Jimmy Miller Foundation also helps out at-risk children in Los Angeles. The therapy sessions provide surfing instruction, while building self-confidence through group discussions led by a therapist. The children are given one on one assistance with their own personal surf instructor as well as friends and volunteers on the beach. Children who come to the ocean therapy sessions have gone through many challenges such as physical or emotional abuse that they can forget about while in the water surfing. The participating organizations include the Richstone Family Center of Hawthorne, Hollygrove of Hollywood, and Hillsides of Pasadena. Each of these organizations help children to have successful, supported lives. These sessions are also held at Rosecrans Avenue in Manhattan Beach.
The Live Like Doug Foundation is an organization for children who have lost a parent or loved one. It was created by Christine Schneider after she lost her husband and her son lost his father. Christine founded Live Like Doug to teach Doug's life lessons to their son and to children whose lives have been damaged forever. Christine Schneider says, "Doug was an extraordinary man and he taught me and Dylan so many lessons about how to live life. I wanted to make sure Dylan would continue life in the same way. I knew that so many other kids could benefit from these same lessons and would thrive if they knew they weren't alone and had hope for the future. I created LLD so Dylan and other kids could find support, friendship, resilience to pick themselves back up, confidence, and find a passion for life."
Live Like Doug provides personal development programs to children after their lives have been changed dramatically. By enhancing their social, emotional, and physical well-being, the children in the program can manage hard times through compassion and enthusiasm. LLD's social groups and enrichment programs change the children so they can move forward with compassion and an excitement for life. Live Like Doug has social circles which were introduced in October of 2016 and are monthly meetup groups that build the foundation for social connections and support. The social circles are held at beaches, parks, and local venues. The social circles are held so kids and their families can have fun doing activities. In May, Live Like Doug launched their second program called Mind, Movement, and Art. Mind, Movement, and Art is where participants were asked to submit applications for a sponsorship for an enrichment activity. Sponsorships provide support for classes, workshops, private lessons, or camps. While painting may be a loved hobby for one child, surfing may be a healing activity for another. Christine explained, "Our goal is to support our awardees with enriching experiences that are not only fun, but also promote self-expression, discovery, resilience, and joy." Live Like Doug was able to give partial of full sponsorships to six children to take classes or camps ranging from theatrical makeup to baseball camps.
GoFundMe is important to the South Bay because it can help people with financial problems to get the money they need for their cause. GoFundMe allows people to set up websites and try to raise money for graduations, celebrations, illness, and accidents. Anybody can go onto GoFundMe and donate money to any cause they want. Wikipedia says, "GoFundMe is unique to crowdfunding in that they are not an incentive-based crowdfunding website. Although they do allow projects that are meant to fund other projects for musicians, inventors, etc., the business model is setup to allow for donations to personal causes and life events such as medical bills." To make a charity, you need to first develop your vision or mission. After figuring out your mission, you will need to think of a charity name and start a website. You will also need to make a plan for your charity and how much money you can actually spend. Lastly, you will need to be patient and get your charity public.
Tragedy struck locals when three young children in the South Bay passed away recently. Twelve year old Logan Goodwin died after crashing into a tree stump during a family ski trip in Colorado. His family and friends immediately began a GoFundMe page to start a non-profit organization and memorials in Logan's name. Fifteen year old Sandro McIlroy died after suffering fatal injuries from falling while holding onto the back of a car on a skateboard. His GoFundMe was set up for paying for hospital bills, the cost of building a memorial, and funeral costs. Thirteen year old Ciara Smith died while riding a bike. Her mother started a GoFundMe page to pay for her funeral.
I have worked with the Live Like Doug and the Jimmy Miller Foundation on a couple occasions. I have participated in an event for Live Like Doug and the Jimmy Miller Foundation to help raise money by selling raffle tickets. Knowing about charities near you can be important because most of the time, the charities are in need of donations and volunteers. Charities like the Jimmy Miller Foundation, Live Like Doug, and GoFundMe pages are always looking for new volunteers to help out at events and donations to help out for various causes. Go out and get involved. I have and have truly enjoyed every minute of it.

Q: Do gems have secondary effects? Do elemental gems in Torchlight 2 have secondary effects other than direct elemental damage or elemental armor?
I am referring to poison, fire, ice and electric gem and try to understand which of them are better-

A: Each element has its own attack side effect, which has a chance to occur on each hit.  Some of them are hinted at in the loading screen tips.

*

*Ice attacks have a chance to Freeze, which slows down movement, attack, and cast speed by 33% for a few seconds.

*Poison attacks have a chance to Poison, which reduces damage and all armor by 33%

*Electric attacks have a chance to Shock, which causes the afflicted enemy to emit electric bolts that damage more enemies every time it is hit.

*Fire attacks have a chance to Burn, which is fire damage over time that ignores armor.

Note that these all have a chance to occur on elemental attacks from any source, including skills.  Elemental gems give you these effects only as a direct consequence of giving your weapon an additional elemental attack type.

A: As far as I know they don't have any further effects. The idea behind finding the right one for you and your character should be the rest of your skilltree/items. This is because the gem's dmg is affected by skills/items. As an example: if you skilled 40% poison dmg, you'll get 40% more dmg from poison gems in contrast to the other elements.
If that does not really answer your question, feel free to give me further details ;)
edit: see comment - I forget about so much because of all these new games :D

Leon Coronato
Winery "Stojkovic"
Enforma
Really Health Pasta
Winery "Stojković", established in 1912, received a new visual identity, enriched with distinctive visual forms. A clever choice of typography allowed us to create a custom solution that made this brand shine and stand out on the competitive market, overshadowing its competition thanks to its unique approach.
View Full Project
It was a true honor working with such a talented architectural studio. Web designers always find creating visual identity for fellow designers to be quite a challenge, since every studio has a unique energy and approach to creative work. We are proud to say that we have succeeded in combining the energy of both studios - and here's the result of our amazing partnership.
This particular project was a special opportunity we embraced with great enthusiasm. The first challenge was to merge the well-known restaurant with the newly-established hotel that was supposed to take the primary position. Leon Coronato is a truly unique project that can now present its new appearance to anyone who wishes to immerse themselves in Perast history.
Mechanix is a specific functional fitness facility where the physical appearance is built using your own strength, without the equipment which forces you to train in accordance with the predefined programs. For us, this meant building a brand with all our strength, power, and energy, so that their visual identity would reflect their dedication.
When a new company plans to hit an already-dense market, it has to arrive to the arena equipped with materials that will outline its mission, vision, and overall corporate identity. We help Bauriss build a brand from the ground up, designing visuals that attract their target audience and invites them to become a part of this amazing startup story.
From a logotype that was supposed to match the products, across defining the colors of different product versions, to smart package solutions that reflect the brand's organic approach - Art & Code Studio had to take several steps: analyze the competition, achieve a unique look, as well as plan, design, and monitor the production of the eco-packaging solution we opted for.
Harmony & Care
Menu App
We present you with carefully selected case studies that showcase
the work we did for some Startups in our studio so that you can
see the whole process from start to finish.
April 2017,
STARTUP / Web Application for Storytelling
The startup started its journey in our studio, on a plain whiteboard. At that point, it was nothing more than a few lines of our client's thoughts and our recommendations. From the earliest stages, we knew that we are in for an amazing adventure that will turn in a never-ending story.
We had the opportunity to guide this startup from the beginning - from creating the logotype to developing a complex web application, and we invite you to take a few moments of your day to find out a bit more about the project. We expect one of your intriguing stories to become a part of this social community that shows great future potential.

Branding, Visual Identity, Business Development
Klagenfurt, Austria
The story behind this startup is based on a charitable idea to help everyone who needs home care. Considering the humanitarian character, it is no wonder Harmony & Care quickly received the much-needed funding that only further proved this startup's worth.
We are happy to be included in the development and realization of this project intended for those who are in dire need of a helping hand during the last chapter of their life. And we are proud to be a part of it.
STARTUP / Mobile and Web application
Novi Sad, Serbia
It was quite a challenge for us to help the two ambitious fellas from our home town take their project from the initial idea to a fully-functional mobile app. They wanted an iOS and Android app that users will be able to use with ease to report any issues in their environment. We were so impressed with the idea that we strived to design a visual identity that will impress the investors and take this project to the next stage. We are ready to do whatever it is in our power to help this app to become a go-to solution for any problem that requires fixing.
STARTUP / Digital omnichannel for ordering food in a restaurant
The collaboration lasted for almost 5 years and during that time we assisted our partners to transform from an ambitious startup into the established business that now sets the bar high for the restaurant industry. It was our pleasure to form a corporate identity, illustrate every feature, and help grow this business from a 5-people office to the establishment with more than 100 employees. Excellent internal communication and external marketing efforts lead us to this day when we see this ship sail towards the leading position in the HORECA industry.
Our greatest challenge was to present the century-old winery in a new light. We had to bridge the gap between the two generations, the old and the young, and create a timeless concept. Finally, we agreed that Winery "Stojković" / Two Suns should be our foundation for the creation of a new identity.
Branding, Visual Identity,
Labels design
Banoštor, Serbia
One of the first steps involved in setting up a new logotype.
We are proud to say that we managed to incorporate the symbol of two suns and thus connect it with the Winary's name which dates to 1912. From here we moved on to the development of this unique, elegant and valuable visual solution that marks a new beginning for the winery.
The winery is located on the mountain slopes, lassoed by the river, rich with lines of vineyards that create magnificent landscapes. Looking at the countryside from the birds' perspective, thinking about the Two Suns, we were inspired to set up visual guidelines of the new identity through linear elements which manage to breathe life into a simplified identity.
Winery "Stojković" 1912
Strings of complex linear sequences allowed us to create unique labels which give special character to each wine variety with their shape and movement. Luxurious label paper and gold print make the winery radiate with elegance.
Product label & Bottle neck tags
for Chardonnay & Rose wines
The story of the two Suns originates from the fact that Banoštor village and its vineyards lie underneath the two Suns as another light reflects from the Danube which creates a fertile ground for fruitful results. The linear representation embodies the idea of the two Suns and demonstrates the lines of vineyards, at the same time subtly shaping the first letter of the name of the winery.
The symbol is used on different labels, promotional print and digital materials and as such becomes the most recognizable part of the Winery "Stojković" identity. The project demonstrates the fact that it is possible to combine two worlds, two generations, and create a new face for the brand that is ready to win over young oenophiles with its minimalistic and exclusive look.
Really Healthy Pasta
Branding, Visual Identity
Mechanix is a place which houses exercise equipment for the purpose of physical exercise. Functional Fitness Facility is unique and renowned for its special tailor-made training programs and an array of dynamic fitness classes are available daily at this fitness studio. Mechanix crew have instilled the belief that regular physical activity is a necessary component of personal health and well-being. Just like the perfect branding solution is essential for Mechanix - and we nailed it!
For us, this dynamic and distinctive fitness facility was a project that undoubtedly deserved a unique, strong, and hand-drawn typographical solution. The logotype dictated visual identity and brand communication which was directed towards all who live a dynamic lifestyle.
The glass facade is painted in abstract and modern design, which gave the space a sense of movement. And when the lights are on, the hints of vinyl that can be seen through the glass entrance keep the upbeat atmosphere in the evening and reflect the dynamic energy onto the bypassers.
Logo made with
hand-drawn typography
The entire visual identity is designed to be dynamic and to send a powerful message; high-gramature paper, UV varnish and screen printing allowed us to create solutions that leave a lasting first impression.
Business cards solution
on 700g black paper
UV logo application
on the cardboard surface
From the initial idea to realization, we managed to present Mechanix team's desire to be memorable and to embody the intense spirit of extreme sports. Now they can say with great confidence that strength without functional training (nor functional branding) has no real-world value.
Brand building we conducted through this project is the proof that market research and dedication to creating a logo that meets all technical standards can be applied on all visual marketing materials - from business cards to applications, and in this case, the building exterior greater than 80m2.
The tale of Leon Coronato dates back to the early 17th century, and the building has not lost its original flair. Staying true to its roots, the hotel added a touch of contemporary design elements to accommodate the needs of a modern traveler. We embraced this project wholeheartedly where we had to place the well-established restaurant brand under the same roof as the new hotel which visual identity was yet to be created.
Branding & Web Site production
The main idea behind the logo is a combination of two symbols - a lion and a flower, which represent the synergy between the hotel and restaurant.
The flower is used because of the restaurant's name "Đardin" which is the Montenegrin word for "garden", while a lion illustrates the name of the hotel - "Leon Coronato", which translates to "crowned lion".
The primary colors of the hotel and restaurant are blue and green, where blue represents the spirit of the Mediterranean, and green reflects nature. The secondary color used in visual identity is light beige. It merges the two identities visually, and since the blue and green have cooler tones, it was necessary to add a warmer hue to achieve a more gentle feeling.
The Leo pictogram
as a main visual element
We also designed business cards for the hotel using fine paper packed in an elegant luxury box, as well as door hangers and exclusive folders for each room that include a welcome letter and guest information.
Exclusive and specially-designed Welcome Folder
Business cards & Thank you cards done with old gold printing
redesigned to be in line with the hotel's identity
We went for a full luxurious garden look while branding the restaurant, so we used royal green combined with gold which represents class and high-end service provided by the restaurant.
For the restaurant, we also designed the main menu with a special pizza menu card, a wine card, and a counter menu that is placed in front of the restaurant. As a part of the stationery, we also made business cards for the restaurant, along with compliments cards and matchboxes, which are intended as a gift for the guests.
We made interior signage for every floor in the hotel, and smaller smoking ban signs and restroom signs. We also designed the board in front of the restaurant that contains information about the restaurant's opening hours.
The website is done in accordance with the identity, with a minimalist approach using professional photography and fine typography.
Enforma"
Both Art & Code Studio and Enforma enjoyed building a recognizable brand for this creative entity that manages to turn their visions into architectural wonders.
The outcome - out-of-this-world.
The idea behind the logotype appeared during one of our consultations. We learned that they use abstract shapes in their drafts to present ideas for future projects to their clients. We made a creative decision to displace the lines that shape the letter "N" into a diagonal position and that way create a unique and recognizable shape.
The letter "N" also stands for the first letter of the founder's name and surname, who ensures all Enforma projects are realized to their fullest potential. Minimalizm, straight and precise lines indicate that the logo represents the studio that pays close attention to the details and turns playful visions into strictly controlled construction projects.

unexpected shape of the letter "N"
When it comes to the production of stationary visuals, our idea was to combine different materials to build one entity, just like Enforma uses different materials to build their projects.
produced with foil print
Different envelopes
for different events
Letter "N" created to represent a
symbol of different thinking
We always say that the greatest challenge is to turn a great idea into a reality, especially if we talk about an abstract concept for which we need to find an adequate counterpart in the real world. Enforma Studio rightfully earned a distinctive identity which is visually so appealing that its minimalism makes maximum impact.
At the end of this educational journey, together, we managed to create a unified symbol and a logo, along with more than 10 types of marketing materials. The new visual identity reflects Enforma's approach to work and the website we created meets the standards of the digital world. Most importantly - we established lifelong friendship because we made it our mission to create a timeless brand.
This company dedicated their work to building humane living complexes adapted to the needs of a modern family or an individual. The idea inspired us to build a brand that will resonate quality, safety, and professionalism.
Branding & Marketing Strategy
From conducting market research and coming up with the company name, to setting up a clear, minimalistic approach to the logotype creation, we thought about one thing only: how to create a visual solution that will reflect the founder's professionalism and passion?
Bauriss is a German term for architectural blueprint which marks the beginning of every building's story. The entire identity is designed to be diametrically different from any competitor and to establish an exclusive approach to planning and construction through its visual identity.
Logo design with
modern minimalistic approach
Business cards were made by combining fine paper and gold print, and packed in specially designed boxes. Other marketing materials are also enriched with brand's colors, with a modern twist.
High-end business cards
done on fine paper with gold finishing
Exclusive hand-drawn logo design
This design approach to identity ensured every potential buyer that there is a serious investor behind the project who knows how to turn his vision into an oasis for a modern family man. The combination of dark, earthy tones and bronze reflects luxury and elegance, which was our primary goal.
The strong, visual demonstration makes the brand memorable and appealing at first sight. Thanks to careful planning of the digital marketing strategy, we managed to build a brand that will set the bar high for others in its industry, and our ideas will set new standards in terms of visual communication with the market.
We had the opportunity to create this brand from scratch; a brand which aims to stand out in an already competitive food industry; an organic brand that truly deserves to jump off the shelves. All this meant that we had to give it our all, and more.
From daily consultations we had with our long-term partners from Good Health Naturally, to a complete brand setup and packaging design, we understood that it was our responsibility to create something that would fit the current market and appeal to target audience, even though it is a completely new brand.
Logo was created to evoke the feeling of nature, and we had the same idea for the design of the 18-letter long name. The trademark is located in the top left corner of the package and becomes instantly recognizable. Its universal, unicolor design dominates on each of the products from a diverse range.

The package indicates that it is an organic product, which was achieved with smart design and box creation. Its front reflects the brand's character, while its back gives its consumers a sense of trust.

Six different products with a single healthy ingredient were presented to the UK market and produced a great revenue for the brand. We are happy for the opportunity to work with this special organic brand.
This project taught us that no matter where we find ourselves at the very beginning, seamless communication guarantees exceptional results. We take pride in knowing that our visual contribution made more than a million targets in the UK really happy.

SES is a Luxembourg-based satellite company that maintains a global fleet of more than 40 geostationary communications satellites, delivering services to media, telecommunications, government and enterprise. It also designs and procures satellites but is not a satellite manufacturer, nor does it act as a launch provider. Established in 1985 as Société Européenne des Satellites, SES has taken advantage of its strong position in the market by consolidating its 3 divisions (SES Corporate, SES Astra and SES World Skies) into a single seemless brand experience for its customers. Facing increasing competition from fiber networks, cable operators and triple play entertainment packages from mobile operators SES is capitalising on the unrivalled benefits of satellite services. At the same time seeking to overcome the staid image of the RF (wireless) medium amongst engineers who are, instead, graduating with degrees focused on IP (Internet Protocol). Satellite offers a consistenty of service everywhere, large scale bandwidth for mass delivery of direct to home HD and 3D TV as well as rapid deployment communications capabilities and global reach without geographical limit. By offering a single market-facing brand SES is leading the way from a well-managed holding company into a global commercial business.
Mercedes-Benz, the iconic world-class luxury automotive brand, found itself with a unique set of problems that required a significant rethink of its offering. Facing stiff competition, sales were down and reports of poor quality products were tarnishing the brand's once untouchable reputation. To remedy this, numerous top-line global brand consultancies were approached to propose concepts aimed at refreshing and rejuvenating a troubled Mercedes-Benz. The concept shown here centres around a strategic idea of 'freedom' expressed in a dynamic self-organising system. Instead of a free space for only the brandmark of traditional brand identity management systems, each brand identity element is given its own free space area, symbolising the celebration and appreciation of individual freedoms. Appreciation and Partnership had been chosen as strategic ideas to guide the thinking about private and commercial vehicles, respectively. As part of a dynamic whole each brand identity element works together within the format and cascade from the top left hand corner of any given format. And, all the elements, each protected in their own space, are protected together in a larger free space area determined by the size of the brandmark and the edge of the format. This is the unprecedented concept we proposed to re-establish Mercedes-Benz as the automotive brand leader it once was.

American Dervish
Hayat Shah is a young American in love for the first time. His normal life of school, baseball, and video games had previously been distinguished only by his Pakistani heritage and by the frequent chill between his parents, who fight over things he is too young to understand. Then Mina arrives, and everything changes.
Mina is Hayat's mother's oldest friend from Pakistan. She is independent, beautiful and intelligent, and arrives on the Shah's doorstep when her disastrous marriage in Pakistan disintegrates. Even Hayat's skeptical father can't deny the liveliness and happiness that accompanies Mina into their home. Her deep spirituality brings the family's Muslim faith to life in a way that resonates with Hayat as nothing has before. Studying the Quran by Mina's side and basking in the glow of her attention, he feels an entirely new purpose mingled with a growing infatuation for his teacher.
When Mina meets and begins dating a man, Hayat is confused by his feelings of betrayal. His growing passions, both spiritual and romantic, force him to question all that he has come to believe is true. Just as Mina finds happiness, Hayat is compelled to act -- with devastating consequences for all those he loves most.
American Dervish is a brilliantly written, nuanced, and emotionally forceful look inside the interplay of religion and modern life. Ayad Akhtar was raised in the Midwest himself, and through Hayat Shah he shows readers vividly the powerful forces at work on young men and women growing up Muslim in America. This is an intimate, personal first novel that will stay with readers long after they turn the last page.
