Richard Craig Foltz
Richard Craig Foltz (b. 1961, Columbus, Ohio) is an American-Canadian scholar of the history of religions, with a specific focus on the role of Iranians in shaping and transmitting the world’s religious traditions, most notably in his books Spirituality in the Land of the Noble: How Iran Shaped the World’s Religions and Religions of the Silk Road: Overland Trade and Cultural Exchange from Antiquity to the Fifteenth Century. Foltz has also been active in helping shape a new subfield combining religious studies with environmental ethics, often referred to as “Religion and Ecology”, having edited a popular teaching text titled Worldviews, Religion and the Environment: A Global Anthology and two seminal volumes exploring environmental values among Muslims, Islam and Ecology: A Bestowed Trust and Environmentalism in the Muslim World. His most recent book, Animals in Islamic Tradition and Muslim Cultures, is the first scholarly survey of how Muslims have viewed the importance of non-human animals. In all he has authored or edited eight books and some seventy journal articles and other scholarly publications. His work has appeared in Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Japanese, Indonesian, Urdu, German, French, Bosnian, and Russian.
After leaving home at the age of seventeen, Foltz spent a number of years living in Europe where he worked as a musician, film critic, and travel writer. He returned to the US in 1986 and completed his B.A. and M.A. degrees at the University of Utah before moving on to Harvard, where he obtained a Ph.D. in 1996. After teaching at Harvard, Brown, Columbia, and the University of Florida, he moved to Canada in 2005 to assume a position at Montreal’s Concordia University.
Foltz has been an invited lecturer at such venues as the Smithsonian Institution and New York’s Asia Society, and often serves as a consultant for French-language radio and television in Canada.

Devajyoti Ray
Devajyoti Ray (born in 1974-) is one of India’s well known younger generation artists who had recently come to forefront with his exhibitions of pseudorealistic paintings.
Ray comes from a Bengali family that had traveled all over India as Ray’s father had been working for the Government of India. Ray had his childhood education at various places, anexperience which brought into his art a rare variety of symbolism, folk traditions, and metaphor.
Ray is however best known for his Pseudorealistic works, which have been exhibited at many major galleries and have been appreciated in India and abroad with great enthusiasm. Pseudorealism of Ray involves the playing of offbeat colours in unrealistic fashion and thereby creating a comprehensible realistic imagery.
In Despair, Soliloqui, the tryptichs are some of the best known works of Ray. They have fetched good prices in the recently held shows.

dreDDup
dreDDup is the first Serbian industrial band. It started working back in 1997. in the small city of Novi Sad. After 2 years of experimenting with music it bacame the first band that really performed industrial live in Serbia. Before dreDDup, there was a lot of experimental bands and one-man projects that included industrial music, but in the late 2001. when dreDDup started live-performances it was clear that this band was built to last. In late 2003. they recorded their first debut demo album called "R U Digital!?". This LP was a mixture of industrial/crossover music with a little influence of new wave. After having some inside-group problems it was finally done in late 2005. dreDDup signed for "MoocSound Recordings" music label and published their first album called "Mr.Borndead's Feast". After changing their sound to industrial/noise/gothic dreDDup started working on their second official LP. Working title is "Future Porn Machine"

Pseudorealism
Pseudorealism (also spelt: pseudo-realism, pseudo realism) is a word that was coined in connection with Film criticism. It actually referred to the presentation of unrealistic fantasy images as realism. But in course of time the word took many varied dimensions and in the field of static photography it became a rage in the 1960s. Pseudorealism in the fine art is however a more recent import referring to the use of fantastic colour schemes, without any reference to reality and thereby creating a comprehensible imagery.
The main proponent of Pseudorealist Art is Indian Painter Devajyoti Ray. Ray in his works infuses stiletto sketchings filled up with flat bold colours that in the whole maintains its comprehensibility.
Pseudorealistic Art likeRay’s In Despair and Soliloqui have in recent years gathered immense enthusiasm. These paintings have been exhibited at many major galleries.

Dennis Cass
Dennis Cass is a freelance writer who most recently accepted a visiting professorship at Carleton College. He has written for such periodicals as GQ, Slate, City Pages, Minnesota Monthly, Harper's, and This American Life.
His first book, "Head Case: How I Almost Lost My Mind Trying to Understand My Brain" is due out in March of 2007. It cronicles his attempts to learn just how his mind works, but delves into his turbulent family history, his writer's block, and his own descent towards a nervious breakdown.
The only class he taught this term was English 180: Creative Non-Fiction. It was composed of 15 students writing 3 pieces--a rant, a memoir, and finally a personal essay. The class periods were devoted to writing excercises, peer review, and socratic seminar-type group editing.
While his professorship at Carleton expires at the end of the Fall 2006 term, he has mentioned a hesitant desire to continue in the school year of 2007-2008, teaching upper-level English students the craft of writing.

Farias defeated former US Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson staffer George Antuna in one of the closest races in the State. Farias earned 10,976 votes to Antuna's 10,072. Libertarian James Thompson picked up 1669 votes coming in a distant third place. Despite the fact that Antuna spent over $800,000 and ran what Express News Columnist Jaime Castillo called a "crass even by political standards" negative campaign, Farias used a strong grass roots effort led by one of the rising political campaign stars in Texas, Roger Garza, in defeating the well funded Republican led effort. Farias takes over for Carlos Uresti who vacated the seat to run for the Texas Senate District 19. Uresti also defeated his Republican opponent earning the SD 19 slot. A lifelong resident of House District 118, Farias has dedicated a good portion of his life to service in his community and his country. A graduate of McCollum High School, Farias volunteered for the US Army in 1968 and served three years in Vietnam and Berlin, Germany. Upon his return, Farias went straight to work at City Public Service, San Antonio’s local public utility, working his way up from a novice machinist to implementing and supervising CPS’ technical training division. Farias recently served three terms on the Harlandale School Board and was also a member of the San Antonio Zoning Commission. Farias is married to the former Angie Rodriguez and has four grown sons-Gabe, Joey, Jaime and Daniel.

Richard R.J. Johnson
Richard R.J. (Ray Jay) Johnson (1955-) is an Irish-born, Welsh-trained professor of early American and Canadian history at the University of Washington, Seattle, and a prominent member of the British expatriate community in the Pacific Northwest.
Johnson is the author of several prize-winning books in early American history, including John Nelson, Merchant Adventurer: An Imperial Life (New York: Oxford University Press, 1991), which won the Thomas M. Power Prize for Outstanding Work in Colonial History in 1993. This book broke major ground in the field by showing how John Nelson, an English trader in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, helped negotiate important colonial trade agreements with Acadia and Albion. Many scholars of colonial history have cited Johnson's book as a groundbreaking work that shows the multiliminality of early colonial trading patterns, refuting the long-accepted thesis that colonial trade was purely one-dimensional in nature and solely to the benefit of the parent empire. Some historians have even credited Johnson for inspiring renewed interest in the economic history of the Thirteen Colonies.
Johnson has also authored or co-authored the well-reviewed books Adjustment to Empire: The Mid-Atlantic Colonies (Newark: Rutgers University Press, 1981) and Reforming the Military Retirement System (Santa Monica: Rand, 1998). Additionally, he has a forthcoming book from Paladin Press, "John Bull and Lady Liberty: A Strange Marriage Indeed!" on the interrelationship of national symbols in Great Britain and the United States.
From 1997 to 1999, Johnson served as the first Susanne J. Young chair in U.S. and Canadian history at Washington, and was the recipient of the Robert Cruickshank Prize for Distinguished University Service and Teaching, awarded by former governor Gary Locke in 2002.
Johnson is also a prominent figure among the community of expatriates from the British Isles, serving as past president of the Puget Sound chapter of the John Bull Society. He served as Honorary Consul of the United Kingdom during Margaret Thatcher's prime ministership, from 1988-1991.

Block quote
J.P. Davis is an American actor and screenwriter best known for his role as Tommy in the critically acclaimed independent film "Fighting Tommy Riley". "Fighting Tommy Riley" was J.P.'s first screenplay, based on an off broadway one man show, and he received lucrative studio offers to sell the script outright, but he remained steadfast in wanting to play the title role. The film was eventually made for a budget of $180,000 and became a festival hit, putting J.P. on the film world's map. Scottkelly 08:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
NBC's Jeffrey Lyons called J.P.'s Fighting Tommy Riley "a deeply absorbing and poignant story staring a talented young filmmaker and compelling young star".
NY1's Neil Rosen said "Every once in a while, an independent film comes along, that just could be the springboard for a very promising career. In this case, the movie is called "Fighting Tommy Riley" and the actor, who lights up the screen, is newcomer JP Davis."
Born and raised in New York City, J.P. graduated from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service where he majored in International Affairs. After graduating, J.P. moved to Paris where he began his writing and acting career.
J.P. lives in Los Angeles. He just finished production on a feature thriller called "House" and is currently developing television series and writing his next films.

James Cyril Stobie
James Cyril Stobie was born on the 15th September, 1895 in Parkside, Adelaide, South Australia, to parents James and Alice. As he grew up, it became apparent that he was an excellent student. He won a scholarship to attend a preparatory school. In 1915 he enroled in the School of Mines and later that year he gained an Associate Diploma in mechanical and electrical engineering, earning his Fellowship Diploma in 1919.
In 1916 Stobie began to work for the Adelaide Electric Supply Company, whilst continuing study when not working. In 1924, Stobie invented a new type of telegraph pole, as timber was scarce in South Australia. The pole involved connecting two long metal bars (initially a railway spare railway track piece) together with concrete. The design was very successful and is still used today over most of South Australia and parts of Western Victoria, due to the fact that they are Termite proof, fire proof, and don't decay or attract growths as wood poles sometimes do. However, many people attribute deaths to the pole, as it is believed to do more damage to coliding cars than a regular wooden poles. Stobie was paid for the patent of his design, and continued to work for the Adelaide Electric Supply Company until his death in 1953.
He died on 15th August 1953, after extensive medical problems, which had immobiled him for several years prior to his death.

The Nigerian Economic Summit Group Ltd/Gte (NESG)
Nigeria’s attempts at economic development since independence had been managed largely by the military, which governed for the greater part of the years of her existence as an independent country.
The performance of the military was ineffective, resulting in stunted economic growth and a harsh operating environment which was neither conducive to private investment nor to sustainable economic development.
Against the background of declining economic fortunes, it became obvious that unless urgent measures in the context of a national vision were put in place, Nigeria would never be able to realise her full potential.
Shortly after he was appointed Chairman of the Transitional Council in January 1993, Chief Ernest Shonekan convened the first Nigerian Economic Summit (NES #1) in February 1993. The Summit brought together key managers from the private sector and senior government officials for a three day discourse on how to tackle Nigeria’s economic problems.
The success of the first Summit and the sudden realisation that it was possible for the private sector to cooperate and dialogue with the public sector led to a wider participation in later Summits.
Subsequently, a core group of participants from the first Summit developed a more formalised private sector structure, which formed the basis of the present NESG. The NESG was incorporated in 1996 as a company limited by guarantee.

Kurdistan’s Identity
Kurdistan’s Identity (Kurdistan My Identity) is a summary of the truth about the Kurdish nation in Kurdistan (Mesopotamia). This book was published in January 2006 simultaneously in English and Kurdish. The book describes the truth of the Kurdish history, geography, religions, culture, languages and some solutions for the Kurdish question to achieve Freedom for The Democratic Republic of Kurdistan. 2000 copies of this book have been printed to give as a gift to people interested in the subject. The author’s (Hawre Qendil) aim is to introduce Kurdistan’s conflicts to his country mates and to the rest of the world, as he believes that in his book there is a peaceful solution for getting independence of Kurdistan. However this needs more sacrifices on the part of the Kurds and support of their friends.

MaxHeat & Millennium Music Mission Records
The Pro Flow Fa-Sho Show originated in the winter of 2003 and debuted accordingly on WZIP 88.1 FM in Akron Ohio, the hometown of LeBron James. MaD MaXxx had not yet developed into the veteran rhyming DJ but practiced and completed his training in order to secure a summer slot on-air. After obtaining a slot, NuJam (M3 Records C.E.O.) suggested the distinct "Pro Flow Fa-Sho Show" title due to his solo artist's unmatchable lyrical pro delivery. The idea was also to give the audience a constant tongue-twister that was somewhat fun to say & hear. Things at WZIP halted when MaXxx was finally given a choice (after months of pressure) to either "water down" his presentation to match the styles of his co-workers, or give up his spot. MaXxx's first and second albums then became prophetic. No Compromise was the answer, and the Pro Flow Show moved to the internet to satisfy the demand of his rapidly growing audience. The new "Pro Flow Fa-Sho Show", powered by M3 Records, provides listeners with various forms of entertainment ranging from theatrical audio productions of every genre of music to stimulating, precise, unscripted word schemes and critiques from the host, MaD MaxHeat. Listeners are guaranteed to receive the entertainment they come consistently to see. "Nitro, Rock or the Platinum Edition" also broadcasts marketing tips and industry interviews & spoken word. The show has a strong hip hop origin. Monthly International Audience is one million.

They started in october 2003, trying to make a different kind of music from you should listen in other bolivian bands, because nu metal is not usual in Latin America.

TOPs
I would like to add a subhead to the existing "TOPS" information.
During the 1980's, the Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) developed a method of documentation referred to as Task-Oriented Procedures (TOPs). TOPs was a simplified method of documenting a procedure as a flowchart and subdividing information into manageable modules based on the type of task. For example, all the procedures relating to installation were grouped together as individual diagrams with a master index. Same was true for turn-up and provisioning procedures, maintenance procedures, troubleshooting procedures, etc. The idea was to provide a quick-reference paper documentation system for experienced technical people who had already received training on a product and occasionally needed a quick reference so they did not miss a step, but did not have to read a lengthy narrative style procedural document. The instructions in each diagram element were often cryptic English (not grammatically correct). In the 1990's, TOPs was often used to develop software for on-line tools to automate a task. As interest in the Internet and web sites increased, the interest in TOPs documentation faded.

Daniel Joseph Floriano
Alfonso Faustino
Alfonso Faustino, Jr. was born on August 2, 1964, in Charleston, South Carolina. His parents are Julie Faustino and Alfonso Faustino. His father overcame many obstacles in his life, and his key to success was keeping a positive mental attitude, of which, he taught his children, Irene and Alfonso.
Alfonso learned to keep a positive mental attitude to overcome his own obstacles in finding a corporate job out of college -- through many rejections, it was his postive mental attitude that kept him from giving up. He got his first break by working at Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). After leaving PG&E, he got picked up by MCI Telecommunications. Eventually, Alfonso's career path would lead him to Larry Ellison's company, Oracle Corporation. While working at Oracle Corporation, Alfonso reached a level of financial and career success; however, he wasn't satisfied.
Throughout his career in corporate America, Alfonso tried to ignore his passion in acting -- finally, he could no longer ignore his acting interest, so he decided to pursue his passion in acting while working at Oracle Corporation. He submitted his picture to many talent agencies, and he, in a short period of time, received many responses from talent agencies inviting him to audition. Alfonso decided to sign on with Tonry Talent Agency in San Francisco. Mary Tonry, his agent, sent him to auditions; and, even though Alfonso got rejected many times, he always kept a postive mental attitude and continued going to auditions.
Alfonso got his first break in a television commercial for Sun Microsystems. As Alfonso continued to audition in the San Francisco Bay Area for television commercials, he got to know the producers and directors, and they enjoyed working with him. Soon, in some instances, Alfonso didn't have to audition; producers would call Mary and ask to book Alfonso for their commercials or industrial projects. Soon, Alfonso began to network with some film producers; and, in May 2004, Alfonso got a small acting part in a film called, Loving Alfie, where he played a devil who tries to seduce the leading man into a life of sin. A year later, he got his first leading-man role in a film called, A Dress For The Wedding, where Alfonso plays a husband to the leading lady, who finds a large sum of money in a suitcase on their way to a wedding. While working on the set, Alfonso became interested in the business behind the camera -- the production business.
After the filming of those two films, Loving Alfie and A Dress For The Wedding, Alfonso began to create a network containing some of the key and top names in the film industry and in the high-tech industry. He would mix the two groups to create a business synergy whereby high-tech investors would be introduced to some of the top names in the film industry, such as, but not limited to, Fred Roos, Jeremy Thomas, Jeff Allard, and Howard Deutch.
While creating his business network, Alfonso's horse trainer, Marian Nelson, introduced him to one of her clients, Jennifer Siebel, an actress. Alfonso and Jennifer met and found they had many things in common; however, she introduced something new to him -- conservation. Both of them began to talk about various conservation ideas, and he found one idea, of which, would capture his passion -- animals.
Through Jennifer, Alfonso realized his strong passion for animals -- all animals -- exotic and domestic. Alfonso exerted energy, passion, and attention toward the funding of his conservation project: Tanzania Wildlife Park Project. He kept plugging away to find a resource who would donate money to his project. Through his persistence, he found the resource -- Oracle Corporation.
While pursuing his film career, Alfonso worked full-time, as a software engineer manager at Oracle Corporation. After cultivating relationships with the President of Oracle Corporation, Charles Phillips, Alfonso submitted his Tranzania Project Plan for consideration, and Oracle approved and funded his project.
To this day, like his film career, Alfonso's Tanzania Project is at various stages of development and progress.
Although Alfonso experienced many rejections throughout his life, he never forgot the lesson his father taught him, "Keep positive!" It was this lesson that Alfonso holds as one of his most valuable tools.
