[edit] Man Strength

The term man strength is an Australian term, being defined as 'the strength automatically attained by a caucasian male upon reaching a weight of at least 100kgs' This so called 'man strength' implies that the male no longer has to endure physical activity to improve his physical strength and to maintain a healthy figure and lifestyle. Man strength can be achieved in various forms, but is most commonly attained by the indulgence in alcoholic beverages. This aformentioned indulgence in alcoholic beverages often leads to a healthy beer gut' which is the most common form of man strength.

[edit] Fact or Myth?

The 'Perret Theory' states that man strength is in fact true, however it has been widely scrutinized by health officials and body builders, who often argue that man strength is bullshit as it has no scientific proof.

Many argue that the only benefit of a beer gutis that it makes the individual heavier, and therefore more momentum, which is useful in activities such as contact sports and bar fights.

[edit] Man Strength Attire

A male that has acquired man strength in the form of a beer gut often wears revealing clothing in order to demonstrate his manliness in order to gain 'man cred' amongst his male companions and as quoted by Perret, his 'soon to be ex girlfriends'. Many describe the man strength attire to be of poor taste, and is often the fashion of a previous generation. It is often described as being scrubby and bogan like in appearance. The 'True Blue Guide to Australian Slang' Describes the term 'bogan' as being '1. A lout or hooligan or 2. Someone unstylish'^[1]

[edit] Man Strength Speech Habits

It is often noted that when a male has attained 'man strength' status, his vocabulary tends to decrease in size, often resorting to one word sentences which contain profanities. These are often sentence fragments, which are understood by other males of man strength status but is often understood as being pointless and random jibberish by people with a basic comprehension of the English language.

[edit] Oscar Abreu

Oscar Abreu was born in 1978 in San Juan de La Maguana in the Dominican Republic. Abreu began to study art at the age of nine in 1987 with the renowned Dominican sculptor José Nicolás Jimenez, at the Fine Arts School in San Juan de La Maguana. In 1989, Abreu’s family moved to Madrid, Spain where he continued his studies at the Muños Art Studios in Alcala de Henares.

Abreu moved to Chicago in 1994 at the age of 16. While attending Wells High School, he simultaneously attended after-school art courses at the Marwen Foundation and at the Saturday program of the School of The Art Institute of Chicago. It was at this time that Abreu began to develop his highly distinctive style of painting; what he calls “psycho-expressionism.” His work includes abstract-figurative painting, sculpture, and illustration. At age 18, Oscar had his first solo show in 1996 at the Riverside Art Center. From 1997 to 1999, Abreu continued to exhibit in Chicago and the Dominican Republic.

From 2000 to 2004, Abreu was involved in various cultural and publishing projects in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. In early 2006, Abreu opened Abreu Art Center in Santo Domingo. The art center, dedicated to the exhibition, promotion, and investigation of the visual arts, showcases local talent.

Abreu currently resides in New York, a biography of Oscar Abreu, written by the renowned Dominican critic Abil Peralta Agüero, is scheduled to be released in the fall of this year. Abreu’s work explores human vulnerability and the events that mankind are naturally destined to live through. When expressing an emotion or ideas, he refers to his own personal experiences. His work is concerned with the psychological effects of traumatic events and how these effects create different personality traits within an individual. He is not afraid to explore the personal motivations, emotions, and psychology of his own behaviors. “When I suffer life’s blows and shocks, I am more prolific as an artist. I understand that it is a matter of my pure need to purge the demons within me, to release and to interpret my vulnerability and my capacity to rationalize life’s different circumstances. Through my work I liberate myself,” says Abreu.

[edit] Wellingborough rugby football club

In one form or another Wellingborough Rugby Football has been around for well over 100 years. According to the 1879 football year book there was a rugby team formed in Wellingborough that year. The team played in black and white and played at Midland Road, Wellingborough. However, the club seems to have been properly formed in 1899 when they began playing local teams on their pitch at Union Lane.

After the First World War the club lay dormant for a number of years. It was reformed on December the 7th 1922 after a meeting in the Hind Hotel. The club must have become quite successful as the committee minutes recorded that a proposed admission to the ground (of 4d.) was carried.

The club was again reformed after the Second World War. However, its future was in doubt for a long time. During August 1948 it was decided that the club should continue despite the lack of any rugby games at all. Thankfully the club did manage to get back on its feet and grew steadily during the fifties and sixties. Despite playing in a number of different locations around Wellingborough, the club finally managed to settle at its present home on Cut Throat Lane. The club continues to expand.

The word allosteric comes from the Greek allos,'other' and 'stereos','shape'. This denotes the fact that allosteric enzymes change shape, or conformation, on binding of the modulator. Allosteric enzymes tend to have several subunits.

Allosteric enzymes are regulatory enzymes. In some cases the regulatory site(s) and the active site are on separate subunits.

Allosteric enzymes is an oligmer whose biological activity is affected by other substances binding to it. These substances change the enzyme's activity by altering the conformation(s) of its tertiary structure.

Allosteric effector is a substances that modifies the behavior of an allosteris enzymes; it may be an allosteric inhibitor or allosteric activater.

Wisdom Says registered the name "PeaceKeeper" as a trademark in February of 2001 stating that "the very act of buying a product for which ALL profits support women's health advocacy & urgent human rights issues would transform the buyer into a PeaceKeeper herself".

[edit] John Druse Hawk

Medal of Honor Citation: Rank and organization: Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company E, 359th Infantry, 90th Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Chambois, France, 20 August 1944. Entered service at: Bremerton, Wash. Birth: San Francisco, Calif. G.O. No.: 55, 13 July 1945. Citation: He manned a light machinegun on 20 August 1944, near Chambois, France, a key point in the encirclement which created the Falaise Pocket. During an enemy counterattack, his position was menaced by a strong force of tanks and infantry. His fire forced the infantry to withdraw, but an artillery shell knocked out his gun and wounded him in the right thigh. Securing a bazooka, he and another man stalked the tanks and forced them to retire to a wooded section. In the lull which followed, Sgt. Hawk reorganized 2 machinegun squads and, in the face of intense enemy fire, directed the assembly of 1 workable weapon from 2 damaged guns. When another enemy assault developed, he was forced to pull back from the pressure of spearheading armor. Two of our tank destroyers were brought up. Their shots were ineffective because of the terrain until Sgt. Hawk, despite his wound, boldly climbed to an exposed position on a knoll where, unmoved by fusillades from the enemy, he became a human aiming stake for the destroyers. Realizing that his shouted fire directions could not be heard above the noise of battle, he ran back to the destroyers through a concentration of bullets and shrapnel to correct the range. He returned to his exposed position, repeating this performance until 2 of the tanks were knocked out and a third driven off. Still at great risk, he continued to direct the destroyers' fire into the Germans' wooded position until the enemy came out and surrendered. Sgt. Hawk's fearless initiative and heroic conduct, even while suffering from a painful wound, was in large measure responsible for crushing 2 desperate attempts of the enemy to escape from the Falaise Picket and for taking more than 500 prisoners.

[edit] Post Military Career

Sergeant Hawk was discharged from the Army and went on to serve his community for 32 years as an elementary school teacher and principal in the Central Kitsap (WA) school district.

[edit] Demian Kniewald

Probably one of the most mysterious living painters. Demian Kniewald's paintings are sold exclusively among carefully chosen circles of people around Europe. It is not known that any exhibition of his work has ever existed and nobody seems to know who this personality really is, where is he working or living, what origin or nationality is he of. His work can be found in private collections all over Europe, but mostly in Spain, Italy, Switzerland and England. It is almost certain that he studied photography at the world renown film academy FAMU in Prague, Czech Republic as well as painting at Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, Italy (Accademia di belle arti Brera, Milano) and Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, Italy (Accademia di belle arti di Venezia), but all under different names.

Some time in the late eighties, his name was mentioned in Triest, Italy, as a member of notorious esoteric order Ordo Templi Orientis O.T.O., founded by Aleister Crowley. Afterwards, his name is traced only occasionaly while his unusual work, connected to esoteric themes, kabbalah and even Priory of Sion, started to appear in certain European countries.

We were told that each of his paintings includes secret messages in form of hidden symbols and signs, whose meaning is known to his customers only, appearing to be free masons in general. That is the main reason why are these paintings so highly wanted nowadays.

Without any doubt, his technique and skills are brought to perfection by the use of brush technique, almost frightening for the 21st century painting.

There is story going on of a young promissing artist's painting titled Heroide Funebre appearing in private collection in Madrid, Spain. Supposedly, painting was shown to Salvador Dali in 1987 who commented it: »This is not art, this is painters' genocide!«. The painting was never exposed in public. People who had a chance to see it, described it as a gloomy picture with corpses at the front and misty valley spreading through the background, from which you can almost hear symphonic poem named Heroide Funebre composed by Franz Liszt, after which the painting received it's name. It is told that the author of the painting, while working on it, played that music constantly until it's tones were captured among the different layers of paint from where it is still audiable… We cannot say with certainty if it was all true, but the description is mysterious enough to awoke our fantasies… The young author was Demian Kniewald himself, of course.

Some of Kniewald's work can be found on the website www.demiankniewald.com, but do not expect to find any personal information about himself or his art. Beside an extract of his work, look carefully at the darkened photographs in the background, where you can partly see his face, still not enough to identify him. Like if he wants us to believe that he is present, but not reachable…

If you are not an owner of some of his rare artwork, this is the closest chance to see any of his mystical opus.

ENIGMA DA VINCI:

Demian Kniewald surprisingly opens to the public with the incredible new painting collection named »Enigma da Vinci«.

It is a succession of twenty one coordinate paintings revealing the secrets of Priory of Sion through the centuries and it's grandmasters. The masterpieces of famous painters, members of the free masons' order mentioned above, are blended and merged in a complex project, kind of a visualisation of what we have partly learned from Dan Brown's bestseller »The Da Vinci Code«. Incredible attention to the details, masterful aproach and symbolism are just few of the superlatives, which can now be admired publicly.

The project's subtitle »The revelation of the secret dossier of Priory of Sion« is definitely a dessert for our expectations and it just might seal the final chapter of the Holy Grail myth.

The greatest enigma of all is that this collection is available via internet now.

[edit] Mark Rapp: Jazz Trumpet, Composer, Didgeridoo

Mark Rapp, trumpeter, composer and groove-merchant of the didgeridoo, hails from a life uncommon amongst most professional musicians. He was not pre-destined for the world of music nor was he brought up in a family of musicians. However, he was and continues to be a one of a kind.

Mark was raised in South Carolina and although he played trumpet in the high school concert and jazz bands, his awareness of jazz did not come to fruition until he heard his first Louis Armstrong recording when he was 19 years old. Nearly in his 20's Mark was finally introduced to and quickly immersed himself in the world of jazz. The years to come held in store for Mark an expeditious journey of ambitious study and performance of the music called jazz.

Mark received a Bachelor in Music Performance at Winthrop University where he studied under Dr. Ian Pearson who hails from the tutelage of Vince DiMartino. During his time at Winthrop, Mark was featured in Charleston, SC's MOJA Festival in a salute to Jazz Greats, won an outstanding soloist award at the Mobile, AL Big Band Competition, won an audition to be a part of the All-Collegiate Big Band and he started to lead his own quartet playing in various clubs and cafes. It was during this time when Mark would have a propitious meeting with Wynton Marsalis and go on to study under Ellis Marsalis at the University of New Orleans where he earned his Masters in Jazz.

Nearly at the end of his first year at UNO, Mark was asked to join the University of New Orleans' Euro-Combo in Italy and Austria presenting concerts and clinics and returned to perform at the New Orleans' Jazz and Heritage Festival. In December 1997, Mark organized a Jazz studies benefit concert featuring the premier of his extended Jazz composition, "A Soul's Journey." Ellis Marsalis, David Pulphus (former bassist with Terence Blanchard), Ed Petersen, Brent Rose, and Leon Anderson, Jr. performed with Mark. He would return to perform the piece with Wess Anderson, Jr. (LCJO) at the famed Snug Harbor.

In 1998 and 1999 Mark won the first and second annual Jazz Kings Competition of New Orleans. Also in both years, Mark was awarded the People to Watch Award as part of the celebrated funk group, the Flavor Kings and Quintology, a group Mark helped form. Quintology's debut album was hailed as "one of the best modern jazz albums to come out of New Orleans," was voted Best New Jazz Group by offBEAT Magazine and Grammy winner Nicholas Payton contributed the liner notes.

Mark was also an integral part of the critically acclaimed New World Funk Ensemble which won similar awards and performed at some of the South's best Jazz festivals including the W.C. Handy Festival, Jazz Brevard, City Stages, and the New Orleans' Jazz and Heritage Festival. Their live CD recorded by Little Live Records was hailed as a Top 10 CD of 1999 by offBEAT Magazine.

During his last year in New Orleans, Mark worked for Terence Blanchard on his 1999 Sony Records release, "Jazz in Film" and was a featured musician for Lula Elzie's ballet "Pontius Pilate's Decision" based on Delfayo Marsalis celebrated Jazz compositions.

Since moving to NY, Mark has consistently performed with his trio and quartet at some of the city's finest venues including: the Carnegie Club, Campbell Apartment, World Bar, Whitney Museum of American Art, Armani, the United Nations, Museum of Modern Art, Le Cirque, Ka've'haz, Session73, Coda, American Park, Bliss, Session73, the Elbow Room, Town & Country Magazine, UBS Warburg, Discovery, and more.

Mark has had many notable and celebrated musicians perform with him including: Walter Blanding, Jr. and Wess Anderson of Wynton Marsalis' Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Wycliffe Gordon, Seamus Blake, John Ellis, Brad Leali, Rodney Green, Marcus Strickland, Wayne Escoffery, Josh Roseman and more.

As a sideman, Mark went on the road with multi-platinum, Grammy award winning artist Darius Rucker and has played with Branford Marsalis, Hootie & the Blowfish, Edwin McCain, and Sister Hazel to name a few. He wrote and recorded horn parts for a hip-hop/rock outfit called Onetime, as well as, recording trumpet and didgeridoo tracks for a newly signed band Waking James. Mark also lends his trumpet sound on various studio sessions including acclaimed DJ, Jaymz Nylon, and hip-hop artist Hezekiah.

Mark is also a prolific composer and has written music for a number of film projects. "Friendship Hotel" and "Night and Day", both feature length independent films, "The Sound Barrier," and "Rescue & Search" all showed in a multitude of film festivals. He is currently scoring a feature-length film entitled "Rain in the Mountains," a 2004 Richard Vague Fund 1st Place $100K prize winner. He has also scored an off-Broadway play called "Talkin' Gumbo."

Currently, Mark and his group are preparing to record with producer Billy Terrell. Keep an eye out for what will happen next! The foundation of the Mark Rapp Group is jazz, groove, energy and passion. In utilizing unique instruments such as the didgeridoo, the music is organic, interesting and continues to stay fresh.

You can catch Mark Rapp performing every Friday at the Carnegie Club in NYC.
