[edit] İnek Şaban
İnek Şaban was a character played by Kemal Sunal in Turkish cinema especially in the great classic, Hababam Sınıfı. Şaban represented the hard working and easily gullible student with whom his classmates joked all the time. The character has infiltrated into the culture so much that it has been rumored families stopped giving the name "Şaban" to their newborns after the movie was aired.

[edit] Moon Valley High School
Many of Moon Valley High School's original 565 students and 25 teachers will recall the unfinished buildings, blowing dirt, lack of grass and lack of facilities that caused Moon Valley's delayed opening in September of 1965. As the years went by, the faculty grew from the original 25 to the current number of 100, and the boundaries are now from Thunderbird Road to Peoria Avenue and Black Canyon Freeway to 51st Avenue. Students now number 1,677. The new school was named Moon Valley because it was indicated on maps that the Moon Valley area was near the new school (since then, the areas have shifted). Many protest letters were written to the Board of Education stating that the school should be called either Deer Valley High, Northwest High, John F. Kennedy High or Westown High. The controversy raged for many months with petitions pouring in from the community, both for and against the name. The board, however, stuck with the original name, stating the Glendale schools are neither named after people nor directions, since that was the way Phoenix Union District named its schools. Mr. Don Reed, an engineer at General Electric, contacted Hughes Aircraft and was able to have donated an Air Force GAR air-to-air guided missile shell for use as a mascot. In accordance with this, the student body chose the mascot name, "Rockets." The school colors are scarlet red, royal blue and white. Because there was no grass that first year, flower beds were planted around the school. Students refused to let janitors take out all the flowers, so the flowers have become a permanent fixture on the grounds. Mr. Victor E. Lowman was Moon Valley's first principal for three and a half years. Moon Valley's present principal is Dr. Linda Rosness. The Rockets' administration also consists of Bob Shupp, assistant principal (AP) for student services; Susan Hertneky, AP of operations and resources; and Michael Fowler, AP of discipline and attendance. Moon Valley began a closed campus in the fall of 2002, which means that students stay within campus grounds throughout the day. During the years of the "mini-skirt" and "sideburns," the dress code was a problem. The girls would roll up their skirts to make them shorter. When they were sent to the office, they would roll them down as if their skirts were never short. This didn't last very long. Things haven't changed so very much, but currently it is girls' short shirts that are getting pulled down, attempting to meet current dress code standards. In the 1973-74 school year Moon Valley was on double session because Thunderbird High School was not yet open. The Moon Valley students came in the morning, while the T-Bird students came in the afternoon. According to Mr. Williams, the situation caused a great deal of confusion and many problems ensued during this year-long period. But once Thunderbird opened, things got back to normal. Remodeling took place on the campus in 1976-77. The vocational automotives facility was expanded to allow for more equipment and technical instruction, and additions were made to the gym. Moon Valley High has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges an Secondary Schools since its first graduating class in 1967.

[edit] Wittingslow Amusements
Once Australia (and one of the world's) largest travelling family carnivals, Tom Wittingslow started the business before World War II. On his return from the war, the Changi veteran started touring with a horse and cart and eventually bought merry-go-rounds and rides.
The Wittingslow Carnival operated at all major agricultural shows, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide, and many street festivals in Melbourne. Since the 1950s, Wittingslow rides have also provided many hours of summer holiday fun at the Rye and Rosebud Christmas Carnivals on the Mornington Peninsula.
In the 1990's the company had a value in excess of $20 million, with a large amount of portable amusement rides and sideshows.
Following numerous unfortunate incidents around 2000, and with the passing of Tom Wittingslow, the original company was declared insolvent.

[edit] Saka Gölü Nature Reserve Area
It is a nature reserve area in Kırklareli province of Turkey near the small coast town of İğneada on the Black Sea Coast. It gets its name from the Saka Lake which is in the boundaries of the area. Its area is 1345 ha. The area sits on a floodplain of a river that flows into the Black Sea and seasonally floods thus rendering it a unique and one of the very few remaining floodplain forests in all of Europe. The flora consists of oak forests (typical of the Yıldız mountains located in the vicinity of the area), ash, alder , elm, maple and hornbeam trees. There are also wide stretches of pristine coastal area with several endemic plants some of which are halophytes(salt-loving) and wetlands dominated by reeds which harbor different bird species.

He has been working with Norman for many years and is also the godfather of Norman Cook and Zoe Ball's child Woody. He has worked with Norman on a variety of Alias's including Beats International, Freakpower and the world famous Fatboy Slim. Simons involvement in the work of Fatboy Slim is largely uknown but it is speculated that he ranges from simply adjusting volumes on tracks to completly re-working them and assisting in production.
He is unknown to many despite the fact his work has reached many ears through being the sound singeer and final masterer of the record label "Skint".

[edit] No. 333 (Norwegian) Squadron RAF
No. 333 (Norwegian) Squadron RAF was established as a detachment under the RAF 210 squadron, the 8.th of February, in 1942 by captain Finn Lambrechts. The squadron was located in Woodhaven, Scotland. The 10.th of May, 1943 a B-Wing of the squadron was established in Leuchars, with De Haviland Mosquito Fighter-bomber’s and Bristol Beaufighters. The B-wing became the RNoAF 334 squadron the 22.th June, 1945.
On their first mission to Norway, the poet, and news-reporter Nordahl Grieg was with them to report from the flight. This was then a secret mission. After this mission, he wrote the poem: Flagget
Under the war, the missions of 333 squadron included dangerous search and destroy submarine missions, patrolling, and secret missions along the Norwegian Coastline, behind the German defence lines. They landed and picked up agents, illegal radios, and transmitters. They also dropped Christmas presents to the Norwegian population, and did search and rescue missions.
After the war, they helped to rebuild the northern parts of Norway, transporting people, and equipment from the south to the north.
The oil-activity, establishing of the Norwegian economic zone, and establishing of the coast-guard created new demands to the squadron. Now they had to surveillance great sea areas, and they had to get new airplanes, the Orion. In the 80’s they did search and destroy submarine missions along the coastline and in the fjords. Several times they have dropped sharp weapons against submarines that were illegal in Norwegian territory. In the 90’s, the Russian north fleet was reduced to the half in quantity. But still they have 67 operational submarines, and a great fleet of ships. But, the fleet is still just as powerful as earlier, because of new technology.
Today the squadron regularly does various missions as; surveilling military maritime operations, patrolling the economic zone, controlling the fishing, and the resources, submarine searches, but they also does search and rescue missions. But also they often are a part of international missions, and training.
The squadron is the only one that has been active all the time since the Second World War. And is today a part of the 133 Air wing.

[edit] Libbyland
Libbyland was the brand name of a line of TV dinners produced in the 1970's. They were designed specifically to appeal to children, and were promoted by a cartoon character named Libby the Kid (a pun on Billy the Kid) who was a white-hatted hero/adventurer. His primary nemesis was the mustachioed Mean Gene, who frequently attempted to steal Libbyland dinners from unwary children.
As with any food product aimed at children, packaging was a critical component of marketing. While the dinners contained ordinary, kid-friendly items such as fried chicken or spaghetti, they were given names such as Pirate's Picnic and Safari Supper. These packages were colorfully illustrated, and could be turned into games and/or serving trays for the food. Imprints of various Libbyland characters could be found at the bottom of each serving tin, presumably as a means of encouraging children to finish their meal.

[edit] Brackenridge Field Laboratories
Brackenridge Field Laboratories is a research facility managed by the University of Texas at Austin and resides along the northeastern shore of Town Lake in Austin Texas, on Lake Austin Blvd. The facility consists of a total of 345 acres of land, although some of this land is leased as commercial property. The Lyons Municipal Golf Course also resides on this property.
The facility contains over 50 unique species of ants, including several endangered populations. The facility has provided scientists with several groundbreaking discoveries involving ant behavior and cohabitation among species. Most notably, the facility has played a key role in determining key principals behind the caste system used among different ant colonies. This includes research on how the queen gains and retains control in a colony. The warlike and amicable interaction between colonies are studied in great detail, as there are few other places where such a diverse concentration of ant species live.
The university has recently (May 2006) commissioned a task force committee to determine possible future uses for the land. Part of this land was rejected as the future site of the George W. Bush Presidential Library.

[edit] Cultural Politics Discussion Group (1989-1993)
The Cultural Politics Discussion Group was founded and maintained by Daniel Garrett for several years. Its members read books and articles, saw and discussed films, and listened to and commented on music and other forms of culture, as well as discussed philosophy and politics. Various members moderated sessions on selected topics. Daniel Garrett had an idea around 1983 for a discussion group that would explore both art and politics. He participated in various groups and workshops such as House of Poets in Harlem in the mid-1980s and Kofi Natambu's workshop (on modernism and postmodernism) at the St. Mark's Poetry Project in the late 1980s, two groups he admired, but it wasn't until Garrett started the Cultural Politics Discussion Group, which met first at ABC No Rio in Manhattan's lower east side and then Soho, that he fulfilled his vision of what such a multicultural and intellectual group might be: and the group discussed a wide range of cultural forms and philosophy from 1989 to 1993. (The motto of the group was knowledge, discourse, friendship, and social responsibility.) Garrett has mentioned the Cultural Politics Discussion Group in various writings, including, briefly, his commentary on the films The Barbarian Invasions (January 2004) and Dogville (June 2004) and in an iconographic consideration of culture and social life (February 2006), all of three of which appeared on the web pages of Offscreen.

[edit] Steven Pearl
A well-respected comedian whose been compared to a tornado on amphetamines. His high-energy comedy act is both outrageous and hysterically original. Born in Far Rockaway, and raised on Long Island New York. Steven Pearl has been performing stand-up comedy professionally since 1979. He began his stand-up career in such prestigious NYC comedy clubs as Catch A Rising Star and The Improv, moving to San Francisco in 1979. In San Francisco he immersed himself in the comedy scene and was often performing seven nights a week. By 1985, he found himself opening for the then up and coming L.A. based comic Sam Kinison. He eventually discovered a comedian could only go so far in San Francisco and moved on to Los Angeles in 1987.
In L.A. he was quickly made a paid regular at the world-famous Comedy Store on Sunset Strip. In his first days there he suddenly found himself following such legendary comedy acts as Sam Kinison, Richard Pryor and Roseanne. In the highly competitive world of the 1980s L.A. comedy scene, he held his own and continued to grow both as a writer and performer. In the late 1980s he began appearing on numerous TV shows, including A&E's An Evening at the Improv (1990 - 1994), and Caroline's Comedy Hour (1992). During this same period he began touring extensively clubs, colleges, and festivals all across the U.S. and around the world.
Some of his many credits include writing for and working with such comedic legends as Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Rodney Dangerfield.
A true journeyman comic, Steven Pearl continues to push the envelope of both good taste and sanity. When in Los Angeles, he can usually be seen performing his lightning quick brand of frenetic humor at the Comedy Store and the IceHouse Annex in Pasadena.

Showmanship is the key 18:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Harjes, Herman Henry. (1875, France - 1926, France): banker, senior partner of the Morgan-Harjes Bank of Paris founded by his father John Harjes (1830-1914), played a significant role behind the scenes in World War One by negotiating sizeable loans for the Allies. In time, the Morgan Bank system became the exclusive purchasing agents in the U.S. for the Allies. Harjes was a prominent member of the American Colony in Paris: he and his father had been among the founders of the American Hospital in Neuilly. He became involved in relief work as soon as the war broke out. As head of the American Relief Clearing House, he presided over the channelling of American contributions to France in currency and in kind. As chief representative of the American Red Cross in France from 1914-1917, he founded the Harjes Formation, a volunteer ambulance driver group which later merged with Richard Norton's American Volunteer Motor-Ambulance Corps to become the Norton-Harjes. When relief work was militarized under the American Red Cross in July 1917, Harjes stepped down and became chief liaison officer for the AEF with the French High Command.
Harjes, said to have introduced polo to France, had in 1923 lost his eldest daughter in a riding accident. Handicapped by a stiff leg from a war injury -- Harjes had told his wife he would stop playing polo altogether, but was killed in 1926, in a polo accident which occurred during the 'just one more game' he had promised his wife would conclude his polo career.

[edit] word (mathematics)
One way to describe an element of a group is as a product of finitely many other elements in that group. A word that represents an element is a sequence of elements such that the product of the elements in the sequence equals the element that the word represents.
That is, if x is an element of G, a word in G that represents x is a sequence (x1,x2,...,xn) such that x1x2...xn = x, with x1,x2,...,xn in G.

[edit] Paul Schaltenbrand
- =Early Life=
Paul Schaltenbrand's life began in relative obscurity. He was born to a working class family in Carrick, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh. He attended Carrick High School, starring in Football and on stage in numerous productions. His performance on the field caught the eye of coaches at Duquesne University. He chose Duquesne over Stanford University (branch campus) and matriculated at the university's prestigious School of Pharmacy. He quickly realized that pharmacy was not what he had bargained for and began to pursue a degree in Education. After a devastating knee injury during his junior season Schaltenbrand was forced to abandon his dreams of playing professional football and shifted his focus to teaching.
- =Teaching Career=
Paul Schaltenbrand began his teaching career at his alma mater Carrick High School. A few years later he accepted a position at Taylor Allderdice High School where he remains today in the social studies department. [edit]
- =As a Historian=
Schaltenbrand is a disciple of Boston University Professor Emeritus Howard Zinn. Like Zinn did in his influential work, A People's History of the United States, Schaltenbrand stresses the importance of the study of non dominant historical perspectives. "History is prismatic; one event occurs, but it is then recorded in a thousand different lights. It is a living, breathing and perpetually changing study in perspective."
- =Golf Coach=
Schaltenbrand began his tenure as Allderdice Golf Coach in 2004 upon the departure of Alan Margolis. Under Schaltenbrand the team has continued its dominance capturing the City League Championship in all three of his seasons. At the Peters Township Invitational in 2004, Schaltenbrand was able to secure a $1000 donation perhaps as a result Allderdice's 100 stroke loss in the event. He has used these funds and other donations to purchase needed supplies for the golf team.
- =Odds and Ends=
- His favorite movie is [Forest Gump]
- Since 2005 his study halls have been called Scharties and draw numerous students from all over the building.
- In June 2006 he threw a Mexican Themed Scharty which was dubbed a "Schiesta" by the attendees. It featured homemade food, a Piñata, and live entertainment. It was the last Scharty for the first generation of Schartiers (Class of 2006).

[edit] Kees Dieffenthaller
Kees Dieffenthaller is the prolific lead singer/song-writer from Trinidad & Tobago, who, with his two brothers, Jon and Hans, and bassist Riad Bochoon, form the band KES. Kees and his band are part of the new movement of music within Trinidad & Tobago today. KES has begun to turn heads in international circles, attracting the attention of such famous names as David Bramble, who is currently working with the band. The band is under the management of QuestionMark Entertainment, and releases music in a fusion of Trinidadian soca and chutney, Jamaican reggae and international rock and punk. Kees cites as his musical influences: Sparrow, Van Halen, Bob Marley, Mungal Patessar, the Dave Matthews Band, David Rudder, Shadow, Stevie Wonder and Andre Tanker, among others.
Kees was born on March 12th., 1981,in Palmiste, Trinidad, the fourth of five siblings. His elder siblings are Trinidadian director, videographer and producer extraordinnaire, Danielle Dieffenthaller, and fellow band-members, Hans and Jon. His youngest sister is Heidi. Kees attended Presentation College, San Fernando, where he joined his first band, Gregory's Dream, with such notable members as Juilliard grad, Michael Zephryne and former Miss Trinidad & Tobago, Faye-ann Alibocus. The dismal failure of Gregory's Dream, led Kees to form his own band, Limestone, with his brothers, Hans on drums, Jon on guitars and they recruited Riad at this time to be the second guitarist. Kees was always a highly intellectual individal, his notable academic achievements being quite high. Kees secured seven grade 1's at the CXC level, as well as a full scholarship to Princeton University in the USA, for the pursuit of medicene which he had to forgo, due to his desire to pursue music as his professional career.
At the age of nineteen, after completing his Advanced Levels at St. Mary's College in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, Kees and his fellow bandmates in Limestone were drafted into the Caribbean band Imij & Co., a major soca band that enjoyed world-wide recognition. Kees has always proudly recognized his musical history and applauds the experiences he gained from each of the bands he headlined prior to KES. In early 2005, however, Kees, his brothers and Riad left Imij & Co., due to musical conflicts and formed their own band, which Kees heads, known simply as KES. The name for the band was chosen as KES, because Kees (a German name, with a literal pronunciation of Kay-ess) has always been called by his Trinidadian peers "Kess." To make matters simple, the band decided that it would be in their favor to capitalize of Kees' huge popularity and use his name as the front name for the band.
The objective of KES was simply to create a new identity for themselves in which people can respect the band for the music they create, and their contributions to the artform.
Not an easy feat, but one that is being accomplished one step at a time: whether by winning the praises of Mark McGrath, performing as the opening band for Sugar Ray; being featured as the only live act on the popular MTV series The Gauntlet II; performing as one of the few invited acts for the launch of MTV’s network TEMPO – which now shows in over 17 countries throughout the Caribbean; headlining a national touring promotion for Coca Cola, called Rock Your Crib, with other major celebrities such as Machel Montano, and Rikki Jai; or working extensively with internationally renowned producer Derek Bramble. A KES track has been chosen by ELECTRONIC ARTS SPORTS (EA SPORTS) to be placed on on the soundtrack to their highly anticipated football (soccer) game called FIFA 2006 – WORLD CUP EDITION, which will debut on all three platforms (PS2, X-Box, and Nintendo) on over 6 million units shipped worldwide.
Kees has written most of the songs for his band KES, and these include: One Day, The Way and Calling. He has also done a remake of the famous Dave Matthews Band song, Crash, in a collaboration with Skid Nevelly frontman, Andrew, on steelpan. All the above songs can be found on the band KES' first album released on April 12th 2006, Three Baldheads and a Dread.
Other collaborations by Kees include a duet with Natasha Simmons, written by Anil Roberts called Angel, a duet with Michelle Xavier, written by Kees Dieffenthaller called Hynotized, and a song called Dance all night, produced by venerable Caribbean producer, Kenny Phillips.
Kees continues to be the leadsinger of the band KES and performs to sold-out audiences in the Caribbean, Florida and Canada. He writes and arranges music for KES and is currently working on the band's second album.

He lives in Minneapolis, but travels around the world. Preston also is an expert bike mechanic, sysadmin, bartender. He was chronicled in the Preston Stories published in 1993.
His career in photography kicked off in 1997 when he got a digital camera from Brett Warner.

In 2005 he moved to Minneapolis where his photography skills improved as he shot pics of the Warehouse district, NEHE, and the gritty strech of Franklin Avenue where he lived.
In 2006, he sold all his earthly possessions and started on a 24 month long trip around the world. He didn't know it at the time, but this would be a turning point in his life. He met up with many fine women, and took many fine photographs which are available on his official website (see below). The first stop was London. He met up with Ali G, who would go on to influence his style forevermore.

[edit] Playboy Motor Corporation
This endearing little convertible was a creation offered by two enterprising New Yorkers who formed the Playboy Motor Corporation in the years immediately following the end of World War II. At the time, Playboy was one of many small car companies going up against the major automakers for an entirely unproven market—the sub-$1,000 car. The majority of these efforts featured tiny cars with small engines that were cheap to buy, run and maintain. Louis Horowitz, Charles D. Thomas and Norman Richardson originally founded the Playboy Motor Corporation as the Midget Motor Car Company. Horowitz, a former Packard dealer, and Thomas, a onetime Pontiac engineer, came up with a very affordable lightweight convertible for fun motoring. It seated three, had a manually activated retractable metal top that stowed behind the seat and was powered by an inline four-cylinder engine. The factory was located in Buffalo, NY. Only 97 prototypes were handbuilt before the company went out of business.
