[edit] Heather Sit

Heather Sit, an average citizen of Raleigh, North Carolina, will be the next female president of the United States of America. She specializes in sarcasm and dry humor, and is a proponent of objectivism, a philosophy attributed to Ayn Rand. She has great plans for her future, including teaching, law, political advisorship, and of course, politics. While her presidency is still in the offing, she will make her contribution to democracy as political advisor. She will also have a role as activist for environmental causes. However, her responsibilities will not corrupt her, as they have Karl Rove. A revolution in governmental policy is sure to come.

[edit] Robert Cushmac

Robert Cushmac was born at Georgetown University Hospital on Sunday, May 26, 1974 and grew up in Alexandria, Virginia.

He graduated from T. C. Williams High School (of "Remember the Titans" fame) in 1992 and graduated from Georgetown University in 1996 from the School Of Foreign Service. He was classmates with Andrew Alexander, David Miller, Shea McLaughlin (brother of NBC's Sean McLaughlin), and Allen Iverson.

He is the older brother of St. Joseph's University student Michael Cushmac.

• You've missed the important detail: that he's a quadriplegic attorney (maybe notable, if you can provide sources). However, apart from Allen Iverson, his classmates look deeply non-notable. 86.141.146.45 05:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marakweta of Kenya

Marakweta of Kenya

There are no such people as “Marakwet”. The word is a corruption of Markweta. It is a sub-tribe of the larger Kalenjin group with an estimated population of 200 000. It is made up of the sub-dialects Almoo, Cherangany (Sengwer or Kimaala), Endoow, Markweta (the sub-dialect giving rise to the common name), Sombirir (Borokot) and Kiptaani who presently predominantly live in Marakwet District in the North Rift Valley Province of Kenya. Some now live in Trans Nzoia East and Uasin Gishu North districts and indeed in other towns in Kenya. A few more have moved to live in as far away places as Australia, Southern Africa and even Washington / New York in the USA. Some of the greatest long distance and especially steeplechase runners in the world have come from amongst these people.

They lead a simple rural life characterised by mixed small scale farming and keeping of dairy cows, sheep, and chicken. They grow mostly maize, potatoes, beans and vegetables in the highlands. Those who live along the escarpment and the Kerio Valley keep mostly goats and beef zebu cows and grow millet, sorghum, cassava, vegetables and fruits mostly mangoes and oranges. There is a sophisticated pre-historic irrigation furrow system that supports this crop cultivation along the Kerio Valley that is thought to be over 500 years old.

The Marakwet were formed in groups/sections/clans characterised by their recognition of no authority higher than the asiswo (the assembly of all adult males of the section). They forged a form of association through their common residence along the Kerio Valley and the slopes of the Cherang’any hills.

The territory occupied by the Marakwet is one of the most beautiful and picturesque parts of Kenya, bounded to the east by the Kerio River at 1000 m above sea level, which runs through a small branch of the Great Rift Valley. To the west it includes almost the entire Cherang’any hills which rise to 3 300 m above sea level west of the Marakwet escarpment.

The Marakwet district headquarters is at the hilly town of Kapsowar. Other rural centres/towns are Chebiemit, Kapcherop, Cheptongei, Arroor, Chesongoch, Chesoi, Kapyego, Tot, Sangach and Embobut Mosop.

A more detailed description of Marakwet religious, social norms and culture can be found in the book “Marakwet of Kenya” by Dr. Benjamin Edgar Kipkorir / F.W. Welbourn published in 1973 by the East African Literature Bureau. © January 2006 Contributed by Robert K. Kilimo, Email: rkilimo@yahoo.com

[edit] Vicki Shiran

Dr. Vicki Shiran (February 28th 1947, Cairo, Egypt- March 15th 2003 Telaviv, Israel) was defined as an Israeli "Sephardic feminist warrior". She was a leader of the intergenerational struggle for Mizrahi Jews consciousness, a multi-faceted activist, a feminist, journalist, scholar, poet, film maker. she never stopped challenging the foundations of Israeli governmental and ideological domination and hegemony. Her fresh thinking, articulated in activist and scholarly writings.

Vicki Shiran immigrated to Israel when she was 4. She spent her childhood in the HaTikva (Hope in Hebrew)slum. When 13, she was forced to leave school and provide for her family. She therefore continued her studies through evening adult education. She received her B.A. and M.A.from Tel Aviv University, and a doctorate in Criminology from the John Jay University of New York. In the last decade she taught at the Beit Berl Teachers' College and the Hebrew University. Last year she has founded Israel's most original Gender Studies program at the Beit Berl College. 57 years of age, she died on March 15, 2004, after several years of struggling with breast cancer.

Vicki Shiran, an advocate of equal rights of men and women alike, played a key role in the fight for the advancement of Mizrahim - Jews who immigrated to Israel from the Arab World and other Third World countries. She embarked her political activism in the early 1970s, taking part in the political theater of Jaffa. In 1981 she initiated the highly original "Israel-That's Me!" conference, discussing the rifts between the Ashkenazi establishment and Mizrahi and Palestinian-Israeli citizens of Israel in the open for the first time. This led her to establish the New Direction Stage at the HaTikva slum, where she and her activist friends invited Ashkenazi politicians and public figures so that they hear their criticism about the overlap between Israel's ethnic and class divides. She sued the Israeli broadcast authorities in the Supreme Court for the exclusion of Mizrahi representation in the fancy anniversary TV series, "The Pillar of Fire". She was from the inception of Israel's feminist movement, she joined, always criticizing its exclusion of Mizrahi women, however. In 1991 she and friends initiated the Mizrahi Women's Group, that lead to the 2001 establishment of Ahoti (Sister) - For Women in Israel. In 1996 she was among the foundersof the Mizrahi Democratic Rainbow, who sued the government of Israel in the Supreme Court, and won, on issues of public housing and land ownership. During the last years of her life she led the successful legislation drive and lost Supreme Court suit against the broadcast of pornography on public TV.

[edit] {Marolles, Marollien.}

There is a section of Brussels, Belgium, called "Les Marolles" that dates back to the Spanish occupation of the Belgian Provinces at the time of the Inquisition (circa 1500). That region of the Capital of Belgium has retained its own identity and a language of its own "Marollien". Recent new constructions are destroying parts of the "Marolles" and its language is fading fast. It was a patois combining French, Flemish and Spanish (i.e.Moukere for woman).

Does anyone know of any reference or literature that petains to "Les Marolles"?

[edit] ixwa

Ixwa (or Iklwa) was the name given to a short-handled stabbing spear ("assegai") developed by Shaka, King of the Zulu tribe in what is now South Africa. The spear was named for the sound it made as it was pulled from the living flesh of its victim.

Developed specifically for man-to-man combat (a necessity brought about by an offensive formation called "the horns of the buffalo" which flanked the enemy on both sides), it played a key role in the dominance of the Zulu military during the 19th century before Europeans were to settle the region.

NB: I have added two new sources. The spelling of this word using "kl" (as it is on wikipedia) instead of an "x" is incorrect, as the "x" is intended to be "pronounced with the Zulu X click, which is analogous to the sound" (source: http://www.questia.com/library/book/finished-by-h-rider-haggard.jsp). The spelling of this word as "iklwa", therefore, would not produce an accurate phonation as it is heard in spoken Zulu (which would sound like "iglwa") and, thus, the alternative spelling would be more precise here.

[edit] Burchell Alternative School

Burchell Alternative School, formerly known as Mat-su Alternative School, was christend after Peter Burchell, a retired former principal of Mat-Su Alternative School. The idea of an alternative school was considered insulting to the "traditional" schooling of "traditional pupils". Peter Burchell had the notion towards improving students with difficulties in their daily life. Some were considered as failures, or high school dropouts, or even worse, those who couldn't cut it in real school. There was a heated debate between the Mat- Su School District on wether the alternative schools should even exist. Burchell is a unique school that tailors to the educational needs of some, to the compromised schedule of others, or to the one-on-one teacher-student needs of the rest.

Our ability to gain the best pricing truly sets us apart from anyone else in the entire advertising industry.

Production The Creative Services Division is comprised of talented individuals who have experience as creative directors, art directors, copywriters, spot producers, and web developers. We have our own in-house commercial production units to provide media spots and streaming video for websites or web casts.

Brochures and Kits If a company needs a general information brochure or a complete marketing kit, our team of writing and graphics professionals can develop the right piece for their target market, and the perfect addition to the overall marketing strategy. Sales Presentations Some situations call for special presentations, which we can create more impact oriented sales tools for training or special events. Whether it’s a trade show or presentation to potential investors, our team of sales professionals can help develop the tools and provide presentation techniques that will deliver a client’s message effectively.

Public Relations Media Kits Developing high-impact media kits for a targeted group of media covering a specific subject area is a specialty for Etensive. Using writers accustomed to developing hard news, we blend together the right components in the necessary format to get a branded message out. By focusing on the news in our client’s message, we can deliver in-depth, newsworthy kits that provide a wealth of information in a concise and cost-effective manner. Kits can be hard copy, electronic or online.

Online Newsroom One of the most overlooked areas of many Web sites is media outreach. We can create a more media friendly site, packed with the type of information that customers commonly look for, as well as interactivity that makes it easy for them to contact you for additional information or purchase a product or service.

News Conferences For the really important issues and high profile information, a news conference is often the best form of delivery to the greatest number of media. Our team can handle everything from developing the messages and handouts to targeting the right reporters and media outlets to invite. News conferences can be in person or online.

Media/Analyst Tours These tours are perfect for introducing new products and services, or familiarizing the media with our client’s company. Etensive develops a targeted list of top influencers, trains the company spokesperson, submits informational queries and sets up the itineraries.

Community Relations Corporate giving and responsibility are ways to show client’s care by giving back to the community. We identify community needs and choose an organization that can best benefit from what our client’s have to offer.

Product Development In addition to Etensive’s core business, we plan to launch a second service targeted towards our own product lines or lines, which can be acquired cheaply, co-branded, wholly or partially owned by July 2006. We will continue to evaluate incoming results, as well as search for other expansion opportunities.

[edit] No Sun Today

Grey Daze, nowadays more populair because of the presence of Chester Bennington than the musical content of the band, was formed in 94' and released a first album shortly after. 'No Sun Today' features 12 songs and can best be described as a mix of elegant instrumental play and the influential voice of Bennington. The tracks on the album mostly represent Bennington's childhood pain, which can be heard in songs like 'Just Like Heroin' and 'The Down Syndrome'. After this album, Grey Daze split up.

[edit] Global War, BBS Door Game

Global War is a BBS Door game clone of the board game Risk. Global War was one of the first Door Games to utilize ANSI escape codes to draw graphical representations of a game board on the screen. This made it highly desirable, and drove traffic to almost any board that featured it.

[edit] Sources

I, Johnny Sprada, used to run a dial-up BBS (Mount Olympus, in the Seattle/Tacoma area) for about 10 years. I remember this door game from personal experience. I do not remember specifics (who created it, etc) but I remember the game, and many others well.

[edit] Pussy Football League

The Pussy Football League is a padless football league that came from humble beginnings. Started in August of 2002 by a group of New Orleans teenagers looking to play pickup football, the league has since grown to dozens of players with weekly drafts and games. The league is commissioned by Yinchen Li and vice commissioners Kirk Wessman and Richard Talens. The name "PFL" was coined by Richard "Dick" Talens through a process in which he created an analysis of characteristics between the league and the National Football League.

The league includes a formal Big Board, a draft of players, an All-Pro Roster, and a Hall of Fame. The PFL is well known by New Orleans residents who love the game of smash-mouth padlesss football. Games are commenced on Mithun Field, across from the University of New Orleans.

[edit] National Skyline

National Skyline is a band from Champaign, Illinois, originally formed in 1996 by Jeff Dimpsey (former bassist for Hum) and Jeff Garber (formerly of Castor) with Garber on vocals. The music features lush synth and electronic sequencing layered with often complex rhythms and melodies from acoustic instruments. In 1996, the group appeared with a track titled "Euroak" on the "Sweet Sixteen Volume 2" compilation on Parasol. Their 1999 seven-track, self-titled debut was recorded at Dimpsey's home studio and released on the Hidden Agenda label. However, Dimpsey departed soon after. In 2001, the group released a four-song EP titled "Exit Now" on the File 13 label. Several months later, the "This=Everything" LP was also released. Although not officially disbanded, National Skyline has yet to record any other material. In the meantime, Garber has started another project called Year of the Rabbit, who released an album and toured in 2003, but has been inactive since that time.

[edit] Breath Weapon

Breath Weapon is a supernatural ability of several monsters in Dungeons and Dragons - dragons, half-dragons, dragon turtles, dragonnes, chimeras, hydras (pyro and cryo), hell hounds, certain demons, and other creatures. However, it is most often associated with the dragons and half dragon monsters.

The Breath Weapon ability is the power to exhale some sort of deadly energy (fire, electricity, acid, etc) or a gas (metallic dragons only?) that paralyses, confuses, or otherwise incapacitates an opponent (stuns him). In Draconomicon, dragon-centered supplement of Dungeons and Dragons, other breath weapons of dragons and half dragons are mentioned.

A Breath Weapon is imagined as either a cone or a line of the above-mentioned energy or gas. Other supernatural and spell-like abilities (like mind blast) also use the cone or line shape to indicate the affected areas. However, the Draconomicon introduces a number of breath-weapon-related feats and spells that allows more options about the area, affected by the breath weapon.

[edit] Enerdhil

Enerdhil in J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-Earth was a jewel-smith of the Elven stronghold of Gondolin, the only mention of him is in the Tolkien's book of Unfinished Tales.

He was known as the greatest jewel-smith after the death of Fëanor. Enerdhil was the creator of The Elessar, a green jewel that was given to Idril daughter of Gondolin's King Turgon. From her it passed to her son Eärendil who took it with him to Valinor. There is no mention of his death, although he most likely was killed in The Fall of Gondolin.
