Benefits of an Online Lottery

Planning to order lottery tickets online? All you need is an internet-connected device and you are good to go. Next is the security of your order. Most online lottery ticket providers allow you to obtain a safe and secure membership, with which you can either subscribe to receive tickets for every draw automatically or order tickets safely by yourself for every draw. This option enables you to not miss a single chance of winning a jackpot. Also, when you order lotto online, you eliminate the risk of losing or misplacing your ticket and any prize it might bring you.

One other very important benefit of buying lottery tickets online is that you are not limited to only play your local lottery. You are provided to ability to compare different lottery offers around the world and obtain the best deals possible. Also, online lottery agents notify you of your winning, thus eliminating the risk of owning an unclaimed winning lottery ticket, may it be a small prize or a jackpot. This is important because prizes worth millions of dollars have been found to have gone unclaimed every month.

Rubin Museum of Art

Located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, the Rubin Museum of Art (RMA) (www.rmanyc.org) is the first Western museum dedicated to Himalayan art. Though the RMA has only been open a short time (since October 2, 2004), it has already established a sizeable presence online, with galleries at www.HimalayanArt.org and www.ExploreArt.org. That presence is only going to grow: in collaboration with entrepreneur and RMA board member Omar Amanat, the museum will be creating the first comprehensive online archive of Islamic art.

The RMA, which occupies a 25,000 square foot space at 150 West 17th Street, was created by Donald and Shelley Rubin, who had begun purchasing tangkas . Himalayan paintings on fabric . during the 1980s. The museum displays over 1,000 art objects, including paintings, sculpture, textiles, ritual objects and more, spanning a period from the 2nd to the 20th century.

The RMA.s primary online gallery, www.HimalayanArt.org, features over 17,000 entries, making it one of the most encyclopedic databases of Himalayan art and iconography online. The site.s development has been overseen by RMA curator Jeff Watt.

Mr. Amanat began his business career in the electronic brokerage industry, but since 9/11 he has turned his attention to the role of art and media in fostering or preventing violence. In particular, he has been inspired by the plausibility theory of sociologist Peter Berger, which states that members of minority groups derive more of their self-esteem from media images of people like themselves than they do from their own personal interactions with others.

Along with his involvement with the RMA, Mr. Amanat is a prominent film financier. He has founded or invested in several feature film companies, including:
Blue Planet Films, LLC (http://www.bpfilmsllc.com)
Groundswell Productions (http://www.imdb.com/company/co0173527)
