Spokesman Che Wagner says: 'It is the original bank safe from the former Schweizer Volksbank and known to be one of the finest Swiss piece of craftwork in the early 20th Century.

'It is in very good shape and still usable as a bank deposit safe. It will be removed from its original location and be replaced anywhere in the world. You'll freely decide what happens with it.

'This is not just an investment in a historical, exclusive and certainly unique object but also an investment in a global cultural impulse.'

The Generation Basic Income Initiative aims for the government to give a minimum monthly disposal household income of CHF 2,500 (£1,690; $2,700) to every citizen living in Switzerland.

As well as dumping the cash in front of the Swiss parliament last month, the group also presented MPs with a 130,000-signature petition urging them to introduce the radical measure.

The Swiss Parliament must address or hold a referendum over any issue which has gathered more than 100,000 signatures.

Activists hope the sale of the vault will help them to raise the funds to take their campaign worldwide.

Mr Wager explained: 'The budget of our Generation Basic Income global cultural campaign is estimated at €10m; the amount we'll need to move on with our work to promote the idea of the basic income worldwide and especially in Switzerland, where within three years a national vote is held about the issue.

'This amount will set free possibilities of performances like the one with the coins on the national Square in Bern.'

The Opening of Dewa Athena VI

Run, Football, Badminton, Gain, Game, Men, and Women, ALL IN ONE are in our game, in “DEWA ATHENA VI”. Sort of like Olympic event that held in our lovely school, 3 Senior High School Bandung. Every class in 3 Senior High should participate at this event. Ten and eleventh grade make their selves in the fire matches. A cup, a medal, or prizes are something that has no point to us. In this and with this, we let our skill at sport increase, the cooperation of each class, and the relationship of every citizen of 3 Senior High, and these are too, the goal of the event. Two months will be taken by this event. More or less, we’re all still working on it.

Big Opening for Big Game. The opening of Dewa Athena will held at Saturday, 15. The game with icon “Lion and Torch” and with the word that goes on it “Ubi Concordia Ibi Victoria” make every one attend at this opening. It should have begun at 7.30 a.m. but as you know, our habit about ‘late’ is still stick around in our life, so it started late. Nothing or… Hmm great? , to be honest it was a flat opening to me. It was start with two MC, and for the opening speech it was told by Alif Azfar our President. And then for the last speech was given by our headmaster, Mr. Encang. Then for the symbolized of the opening, was lit the torch. So after all of that happened, the event was opened.. Yeahhh.. (?).

So that was all I saw and that was the truth I felt that day. I can’t say it was just_ because I know very well how hard to make a big event like that in such a place, yeah.. as everyone know, we live at a place like no space for breath. I ever felt to be the student council too, so I saw it in such a clear, that was a perfect event and so innovative, I can’t help it if the truth it is a good event. But all what I talked about is not all about the event, but it just the opening of the event that made me felt a little bit disappointed.

That was the opening ceremony. Then, let checked it out for next. The next activity was Football match for women. It was battle between ten and eleventh grade. Wow… this one was amuse me. Did you know why? If you were there, you would have such a laugh to see the match was going so crazy. What crazy? Yeah like what I’ve said it was played by women or I said girls. ‘Boys’ and ‘Girls’ was so different in mental and physic so absolutely than just to catch the ball and kicked it they rather choose scream and went away from ball. Hahaha I liked that thing :D

So that was all what I get from the day of the opening Dewa Athena. Every word that I wrote was everything that I saw about so if anyone who don’t agree about this, I hope you got the picture because it was only me about this thing.

EXPLAINATION
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

You won't find it on any official map and you won't know when you cross the line, but according to some people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where dozen of ships, planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in 1964, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into most cases, though, they're much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there's a reasonable explanation for their disappearance.
Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many who have had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle? Not necessarily. Scientists have documented deviations from the norm in the area and have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. So, for those who like to believe in it, there is plenty fuel for the fire.
In this article, we'll look at the facts surrounding what we do know about the area as well as some of the most commonly-recited stories. We'll also explore the bizarre theories like aliens and space portals as well as the mundane explanations.
Many think of the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, as an "imaginary" area. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation.
The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles.
The area may have been named after its Bermuda apex since Bermuda was once known as the "Isle of Devils." Treacherous reefs that have ensnared ships sailing too close to its shores surround Bermuda, and there are hundreds of shipwrecks in the waters that surround it.

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery

Over the past 100 years, the Bermuda Triangle has seen what some say is a significant and inordinately high number of unexplained disappearances of planes, ships and people. Some reports say that as many as 100 ships and planes have been reported missing in the area and more than 1,000 lives have been lost. The U.S. Coast Guard, however, maintains that the area does not have an unusual number of incidents.
In 1975, Mary Margaret Fuller, editor of "Fate" magazine, contacted Lloyd's of London for statistics on insurance payoffs for incidents occurring within the Bermuda Triangle's usually accepted boundaries. According to Lloyd's records, 428 vessels were reported missing throughout the world between 1955 and 1975, and there was no greater incidence of events occurring in the Bermuda Triangle than anywhere else in the world.
Gian J. Quasar, author of "Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery" and curator of Bermuda-triangle.org, argues that this report "is completely false." Quasar reasons that because Lloyd's does not insure small crafts like yachts and often doesn't insure small charter boats or private aircraft, its records can't be the definitive source. He also states that the Coast Guard's records, which it publishes annually, do not include "missing vessels." He requested data on "overdue vessels" and received (after 12 years of asking) records of 300 missing/overdue vessels for the previous two years. Whether those vessels ultimately returned is unknown. His Web site has a list of these vessels.
The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) database indicates (according to Gian J. Quasar) that only a handful of aircraft have disappeared off the New England coast over the past 10 years, while over 30 have occurred in the Bermuda Triangle.
The mystery of the Triangle probably took hold with the first well-publicized disappearance in 1945, when five Navy Avengers disappeared in the area. The cause of the disappearance was originally "pilot error," but family members of the pilot leading the mission couldn't accept that he had made such a mistake. Eventually they convinced the Navy to change it to "causes or reasons unknown."
The myth gained momentum after reporter E.V.W. Jones compiled a list of "mysterious disappearances" of ships and planes between the Florida coast and Bermuda. Two years later, George X. Sand wrote an article for "Fate" magazine, titled "Sea Mystery at our Back Door." The article was about a "series of strange marine disappearances, each leaving no trace whatever, that have taken place in the past few years" in a "watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico."
As more incidents occurred, the reputation grew and past events were reanalyzed and added to the legend. In 1964, "Argosy Magazine" gave the triangle its name in an article titled "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" by Vincent Gaddis. Argosy magazine's tagline a "magazine of master fiction," but that did nothing to halt the spread of the myth. More articles, books, and movies have appeared, suggesting theories ranging from alien abductions to a giant octopus.
Next, we'll look at some early well-known incidents that have been attributed to the area.

Well-known Disappearances

Many Bermuda Triangle Web sites include long lists of missing ships and planes. But many of those were nowhere near the Triangle when they disappeared or they turned up later with rational explanations for their disappearances. For example, the Mary Celeste, found floating in 1872 with not a person on board and everything exactly as they had left it, is on nearly every list of losses blamed on the Bermuda Triangle. But in reality, it was many hundreds of miles from the Triangle at the time.
Here is a sampling of the some of the most notable incidents. As you'll see, some of these have reasonable explanations although they're still attributed to the strange and unknown powers of the Bermuda Triangle.

The U.S.S. Cyclops, 1918

During World War I, the U.S.S. Cyclops served along the eastern coast of the United States until January 9, 1918. At that time, she was assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service. The Cyclops was scheduled to sail to Brazil to refuel British ships in the south Atlantic. She set out from Rio de Janeiro on February 16, and, after a brief stop in Barbados from March 3 to 4, was never seen or heard from again. All 306 passengers and crew were gone without a trace.

U.S. Navy Avengers Flight 19, 1945

The most famous Bermuda Triangle story is the mystery surrounding five missing Navy Avengers in 1945. The story of Flight 19 is usually summarized this way: a routine patrol set out on a sunny day with five highly experienced student pilots. Suddenly, the tower began receiving transmissions from the flight leader that they were lost, compasses were not working, and "everything looked wrong." They were never seen again, and extensive Navy investigations turned up no clues to explain the disappearance.
Lieutenant Charles C. Taylor led the mission, which included several planned course changes. They departed at 1:15 p.m. on December 5, 1945. At 3:00 p.m., Lieutenant Robert F. Cox was flying over Fort Lauderdale, Florida when he heard a signal that he thought was from a boat or plane in distress. He called Operations at the Naval Air Station to report what he had heard. Cox told Taylor to fly with the sun at his left wing and up the coast until he hit Miami. Taylor then said that they were over a small island with no other land in sight. If he was over the Keys as he had said, however, he should have seen several islands as well as the Florida peninsula.

With less than two hours' flying time until they ran out of fuel, Taylor described a large island to Operations. Assuming this was Andros Island, the largest in the Bahamas, Operations sent Taylor a heading that would take him to Fort Lauderdale. Apparently this heading was correct, because once Flight 19 assumed the new course, Taylor's voice began coming in stronger over the radio. Taylor, however, didn't believe this course was right and after a few minutes said that they "didn't go far enough east. Turn around again and go east. We should have a better chance of being picked up closer to shore." With this move, transmissions began to weaken as they flew out of radio range in the wrong direction. For unknown reasons, Taylor ignored the standard flying procedure of flying west if over water and east if over land.
Two PBM-5 Mariner seaplanes went out to search the area, but one exploded soon after takeoff. The other never located Flight 19.

SIMPLE BUT PERFECT

Hard to explain but it was just a simple thing but perfect to me. Yes sure, my holiday time was perfect, since I was doing nothing. But what a special thing is in doing nothing? ‘Nothing’ was something for me. Ah… I could tell why, back then when I was doing all my activities at my school, doing something was a usual thing, yeah I thought you knew what I mean, it was something you couldn’t deny, killed you by the time it was asked, all what you could do was wondered when it would finish _Home Work, yeah that was the right word to say.

I spent the wonderful two weeks with a lot of joyful and peace. I could dream and had a peace, even it was in the middle of sun. My back was light, lighter than a fur that was hanging in the air. Of course I could say that, my place back then was never gave a soft touched of my back, they wasn’t ordered me to carry the thing such as the window of world, the machine which had the Microsoft thing, the note, and the helper of your hand to make a line above the paper, the thing that I’d told you before, the deadline thing, etc. But still, I couldn’t help it if it was necessary to bring.

Having an incredible magic of fantasy in reading human creature of art in paper that could talk was something I did too. The draw could made me went to the emotion of the moment. To me to have another world wasn’t that hard, you just had to put your mind in something that you like, and you would by own turn to be freak out on your own.

When the sun called everyone to start the day, I was there first than anyone else. I’d like to feel the sensation of a peace in the morning. When the foot, step out from my guide camp, I would like to feel the wind passed by beside my ear and said hello in smooth of cool fresh blown, take my breath deeper close my eyes, heard the sound of the start day, the water that fall from leaves gave the felt of life, the sky is still in pure blue with the collaboration color like in the blue ocean with the sky of night, the color between them gave you a gate to start day with a greeted from the master sun.

When blue was in case to be near to the top of shining light of day, you would see the light poured from the sky and fell between the leaves of the tree. Down of the tree I was there, in the wide eyes I saw, the magic gold from the master sun was giving me a warm touched that made me wanted to sleep.

When I woke up, some smell told me to a fabric of food. I saw the queen of the house was making some food. At the moment, the food was ready to be served, so I, never wanted to be last to touched the warm of a food that was just finished. The felt was like everything melting in your mouth.

And at the edge, the master of sun would introduce me to the master star, the one who gave you light in the world of dark. Everything would go silent now. The time liked that I must had a cinema in the room. The cinema gave me a new story for my next dream what would be. Movie, story, and the show, and the time was accompanying with an elegance of lonely sound, brought me to lay my mind above the cloud rest of human. By the time brought me, my eyes would once again in arrest of the edge day.

That was everything I did all the time in the wonderful two weeks. Bored?! You couldn’t dare to say that. I didn’t care anything what anyone said “Holiday should be like this or like that” but to me the way I did was the way to make myself in treated of holiday. Stayed at home wasn’t the thing would make you die, but the one that would you missed first, when you needed a peace.
