[edit] ZIME

Image:UniversalJosta.jpg

Zi|me ['zi:me] (Latvian for sign) is a project presented by Latvia at the World Exhibition EXPO 2000 in Hannover/Germany. Since then it has gathered hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world in an ever growing ZIME community.

Every person, object or concept from the past, present or future has its own unique place on the ubiquitous ZIME Belt also known as Universal Josta. ZIME represents the individuality and identity of everything that exists in the world. It shows also the complex and harmonic ties between all the people.

Universal ZIME Belt (Josta) consists of 18.4 trillions single ZIMEs. More than 400.000 persons and concepts are located on Josta sofar. Each ZIME is able to store unlimited amount of information while not growing bigger or more complex. Using today's computer technologies it is easy to encode information in ZIME but it requires a future Quantum Computer to decode it. This is why ZIME is often referred to as a Quantum Harddisc.


ZIME Foundation was established in Latvia 2003 by several eminent personalities: Prof. Dr. Imants Freibergs, Prof. Dr. Andris Bukis, Imants Ziedonis, Maris Gailis among others. The Foundation dedicates itself to promote the idea of realization of the unique personal identity while maintaining general harmonic compatibility.

[edit] Vito Gurino

Vito Gurino was a Murder inc staff member and also involved in various rackets throughout Brooklyn. He later turned states evidence when the top Commission members started to order the deaths of anyone who could possibly hurt them in court. Having taken part in many murders and fearing he would be the next person to be hit Vito fled New York and went into hiding an act which made the already nervous Commission members mark him for death.

When he returned to Brooklyn he went to the nearest Police station and confessed to taking part in nine murders. one of the most notable was the last surviving Shapiro brother Willie who was killed for vowing revenge for the death of his two brothers Irving and Meyer Shapiro. Willie was savagely beaten by Frank Abbandando, Harry Strauss, Harry Maione and Vito Gurino. After the beating they buried Willie Shapiro alive.

Vito Gurino also confessed to the killing of John Bogdonowitz the New Jersey gangster who was killed because he wanted to go straight this worried the Bosses as they thought he may one day confess to the crimes he had committed for them so they called for the Commission to help them silence Bogdonowitz. The commission sent Vito Gurino and two other gunmen after Bogdonowitz and they found him at his mothers home and dressed as detectives they convinced his mother to call him to the front door. As he approached all three gunmen shot and killed him.

As well as these two murders Gurino confessed to taking part in another seven murders because of this he avoided the Death sentence and was handed a life sentence for his crimes.

[edit] European Gateway

The European Gateway was built in Germany in 1975 for Townsend Thoresen. She entered service on the 9th of June 1975.

Disaster struck the ship on the night of the 19th of December 1982 when she was involved in a collision with the Speedlink Vanguard in the approaches to Felixstowe harbour. The European Gateway was holed below the waterline and took on an increasing list to starboard. Within 30 minutes she had rolled over onto a sandbank. Of the 34 passengers and 36 crew 6 were lost.

The European Gateway lay with her starboard side resting on the sandbank until the new year of 1983. She was salvaged by a Dutch salvage Company on the 26th of February 1983.

[edit] fusion torch

The Fusion Torch is a concept for the application of ultra-high temperatur plasmas found in fusion reactors. Because of the special properties of fusion plasmas it is possible to reduce any material to its basic elements for separation. This effectively closes the cycle from use to reuse.

The developers of the fusion torch concept envisoned the use of fusion torches on an industrial scale in order to

  • reuse any material that has been used by reducing it to the elements it was made of
  • use any ores and be able to take advantage of even minute concentrations

In their paper of 1969 B.J. Eastlund and W.C. Gough defined 3 "traps" that could hamper the advancement of mankind.

  1. Population (Food)
  2. Entropy (Ressources, Energy, Pollution)
  3. War (Human needs and behavior)

They stated referring to Entropy:

(...)"The use of the fusion torch in conjunction with controlled fusion power offers a potential solution to the entropy trap in materials. - i.e. man's exhaustion of nature's stored resources." (...)

In terms of energy needs they estimated the following:

"An "all" electric city of 10,000,000 people, by the year 2000 will need 140,000 megawatts of electrical capacity.(1.) If just 10,000 megawatts were used in a fusion torch then somewere between 2,700 and 27,000 tons of material could be processed per day."

They already speculated that the fusion torch concept would be useful (...) for the separation of uranium from reactor fuel element material.(...)

First of all, why bother with your hair? I mean, if no one cared about it, then you wouldn't get laughed at if it was messed up. I personnaly think people spend to much time on their looks, but that is another topic. And if you really want your hair to look nice, just use a comb. I mean, why have to different tools, just to comb, or brush, your hair. And that really is all I have to say.

[edit] Lebanon School District

Main school district residing in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

[edit] Lebanon High School

Lebanon High School is mainly referred to as the 3 ring circus because of the design of the building: 3 circular 2 story buildings with walkways connecting each of them. The school gets a bad reputation for drugs, racism, and anything else that goes along with being a city school. The closest high school from another school district outside of Lebanon cities limits is Cedar Crest.


[edit] Rivalry

The rivalry between Cedar Crest High School and Lebanon High School is fierce. Going back for some 30 odd years, every fall, there's a football game played between the two teams. The game officially earned the name, "The Cedar Bowl". Likewise, in the winter, there's a basketball game played every season. This has unofficially earned the name, "The Cedar Dome". This is where the two fan sections of each school can get carried away beyond recognition. Each school has their own fan section: Cedar Crest has their Cage Crazies, while on the other hand, Lebanon has the Cedar Crazies, named after their school's mascot, The Lebanon Cedars. Most recently, the Cedar Crazies were brought back to life at the basketball game of the 2005/06 season. Most notebly, Kenny Shucker, Andrew Clements, Christopher Clements, Cody Fiddner, Colin Kutz, Nhut Hyunh, Collin Tanawath, Henio Santiago, Frisco Cruz, Jessi Parker, Zack Coomer, Tim Baylor, Dichel Ortiz, Justin Wagner, and Sonny Mendez, all showed up to the game with painted faces and chests. The real cedar crazies started out in the early to mid 90's and died around 2001-2003. The hatred between the two teams resulted in recorded incidents of students being escorted out of the games by police, having the gameball thrown at the fans in the stands, and full bottles of drinks thrown at each others side during the middle of games.

[edit] Will W.

Will W. (also known as: Will Wong; born in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada) is a Toronto-based singer/songwriter, actor and noted celebrity photographer. Although Canadian-born, Will is of Chinese descent, with his family having immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong in 1976. He has recorded in Chinese under the name "Will Wong" independently and is set to release his debut English LP Connection May 8th, 2007.

Image:WillW.jpg
A promotional photo from Will W.'s album "Connection"

Musical Training
Throughout his early years, Will starred in a few local productions in the Greater Toronto Area such as Oliver! and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat as well as having participated in local jazz and gospel choirs. While majoring in Psychology at the University of Toronto, Will was guided under the tutelage of C-pop (Chinese pop) legend Teresa Carpio, helping him bridge the distance to his Chinese roots musically in exploring a traditional and contemporary repertoire. Will went on to be a finalist in the nationally-televised singing competition Fairchild Television New Talent Singing Contest in 1998 and won the Best Performer Award in the internationally-prestigious TVB Eastern America New Talent Singing Contest held in Boston, Massachusetts in 1999.

Recording Career
Support was strong in the Chinese-Canadian community for this promising artist, garnering him an award in the 2001 Fairchild Television Songquest Competition and signaling a celebrated debut as a songwriter.

In 2002, Will merged his writing and singing abilities together and released his debut Chinese language EP, Will | I Am. The eight track Mandarin and Cantonese EP, was described by critics from international publications Sing Tao Daily and Ming Pao Daily as a fine balance of the Eastern and Western, receiving favourable reviews across-the-board from fans and publications alike. Publicity and airplay on multicultural radio outlets in Canada led to the album's initial pressing selling-out quickly with in-store and online retailers. More notably, Will | I Am was the first-ever Canadian release to be featured on the internationally popular YesAsia.com and the EP’s success was evinced in its impressive debut in the second position on the online store's "Most Talked About" chart.

Will's popularity was proven in the sell-out success of his album-supporting concert in November 2002 held at North America's largest indoor Asian shopping centre, Pacific Mall. Fans could not get enough of his emotionally resonsant voice and alluring personality. Buzz surrounding Will then quickly spread back to Asia and international publisher Warner/Chappell HK Ltd. added Will to its roster of exclusive songwriters in November 2003. Will’s songs have captured the interest and attention of some of the industry’s emerging talent.

Actor/Model/Photographer
Will has spent a bit of time focusing on print modeling, appearing as the face for Dose Magazine in a nation-wide advertising campaign. Also, Will has studied with acting coaches Theresa Sears & David Switzer, appearing in a series of independent films such as Welcome which screened at the World Wide Short Film Festival; Pump and Dump Classic which screened at the Indie Can Film Festival; and the box office success 16 Blocks.

Being multi-faceted, Will is also a noted celebrity photographer, with his photos having appeared in online and print publications such as The Toronto Sun, The Toronto Star, Canoe, 24 Hours, The Globe and Mail and more.

Current Status
After almost four years in the making and a brief battle with Cancer, Will is set to release his debut English LP Connection. The pop music album is described as a genre-hopping collection of guilty pleasures. The album’s talented roster includes co-producer Robin Eccleston, Masia One, Adrian Eccleston, Moulann, Brownman Ali, George Gao and many, many more. Early previews of the album are available at Will's Myspace pages (http://www.myspace.com/willariah or http://www.myspace.com/willwmusic).

[edit] Trashism

Trashism is a way of producing an art work in which the art is made to appear unprofessional and trash, despite the artist's intention and consciousness. In Trashism, therefore, the artist plays with short-lived pace and the trend "Do-everything-yourself-cause-you-can" -- a technique which is seemingly unprofessional.

[edit] Mrs Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge by Christopher Durang

Mrs Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge is a full length play from American playwright Christopher Durang. Here he presents an alternative Christmas show, taking much loved and well known Christmas stories like A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and the film It's A Wonderful Life and giving them an absurd Durang twist. The story begins by closely following A Christmas Carol but when we reach the character of Mrs Cratchit, things start to change. This character, often over looked in Dickens is presented here as a harassed, over worked and despairing figure, a far cry from the embodiment of grace and perfection depicted in the original. Mrs Cratchit bemoans her pitiful life where she is surrounded by her weak and pathetic husband Bob, the sickenly self pitying crippled Tiny Tim, their twenty odd children, most of whom live in a huddle in the root cellar and their unattractive overweight daughter Little Nell (brought in from Dicken's Old Curiosity Shop for good measure). So when the Ghost of Christmas Past's magical powers prove to be totally incompetent, Mrs Cratchit is opened up to another world and finds herself wandering through Scrooge's past life on her way to get drunk and drown herself in the river, all the while Scrooge is completely missing the Ghost's message about the goodness of Christmas and finds himself drawn to Mrs Cratchit who "speaks her mind". Trying to put things right, the Ghost brings Mrs Cratchit home for Christmas where the Cratchits give a joyful rendition of "Yummy Yum Yum" before settling down to a Christmas dinner cooked by one of the children that proves totally inedible. With Tiny Tim and Little Nell both fearing for their mortality and competing with each other for sympathy, Mrs Cratchit finally gives up and leaves the family for good. It's here that Scrooge and Mrs Bob finally meet as A Christmas Carol gives way to It's A Wonderful Life and the Ghost finds her position and story usurped by Clarence the angel- now with his wings and eager to help someone else. Before anyone can stop him Mrs Bob suddenly doesn't exist: an attempt to emulate his recent success with George Bailey. But this time it back fires. Mrs Cratchit sees that her husband Bob is better off without her, she having been replaced by a perfect version and Tiny Tim and Little Nell are now incarnated as a dog and a horse respectively. Much to the annoyance of the Ghost, Mr Scrooge now doesn't exist either. With events spiralling out of his control, Clarence turns to Tess and Monica (from Touched by an Angel) who reveal that Mrs Cratchit and Mr Scrooge belong together and should live in 1970s New York. The final scene sees Mrs Cratchit and Scrooge as Leona and Harry Helmsley and with Bob Cratchit and his nice wife, they sing the final number "What is Christmas" while the Ghost is left to ponder the true moral of this tale.

Background The show was commissioned by City Theatre, Pittsburgh and premiered on 7 November 2002.

[edit] Lost Battalion Games

Lost Battalion Games is a wargame company founded in the spring of 2003. The original principals were Debbie and Jeff Billings, John Caskey and S. Craig Taylor, Jr. Mr. Caskey left after a few months but the other founders are still with the company. Two very unusual features of this company is that they operate under a print-on-demand production system and, although hobby shop orders are accepted, most of their sales are generated from their rather extensive and interesting Web site.

When the company was founded, Mr. Taylor, who had formerly been with Battleline, Yaquinto and Avalon Hill, conducted research that determined that the old distribution system for manual wargames was pretty much defunct. Where distributors used to order grosses of games, now they wanted their usual discount for orders of dozens. Distributors also still practiced their old habit of being very tardy with payments, using smaller game companies orders like they were interest-free loans. Games printed in a conventional manner and quantities could no longer be moved quickly through the system. Selling directly from the Lost Battalion Web site without the usual discounts meant that the slightly higher printing costs could be absorbed without asking absurdly high game prices. Lost Battalion Games, without most of its capital sitting on warehouse pallets waiting to be sold, was also enabled to invest a higher proportion of its capital in publishing new titles.

Web site sales are driven by attracting consumers with an extensive and eclectic grouping of advertisements, game information, replays, historical and humorous articles and free scenarios plus and electronic newsletter.

[edit] Razza

Razza, is the Bangla title (last name) for king in the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The common misconception is that the title Razza is interchangeable with the title Raja. The Bangla sobdo (word) Razza does trace it's origin from the word Sanskrit word Rajah, but is characterized by the affiliation with the culture, heritage, and state which is Bangladesh. Another common misconception is that the title Razza is interchangeable with the last name of Reis. Razza is the Bangla equivelent for the Portuguese word Reis, both translate to king. The Bengalis or Bangla families who Have Reis as the last name have more descendence from a prominent Portuguese lineage, while Razza is a related to a more native lineage: atleast when it comes to name. The northeastern areas of Bangladesh, such as Sylhet and Sumangonj, have many prestigious families that have the last name Razza.
