Sources[edit]A Purchase Requisition Form (PRF) is type of form that is filled out prior to purchasing goods in order to have in place a form of authorisation. A PRF may contain budget and purchase values in order to make the individual aware of the annual and remaining budget before a purchase is made. Such a system is there to guarantee that goods and services are purchased with the consent of the line manager and that a sufficient budget is available. It is not to be confused with a payment request form which is a sheet of paper that is filled in to describe what is being purchased and the cost of the item. This is considered to be a redundant form as such details are usually already provided on the invoice. http://bfasweb.syr.edu/forms/display.cfm?content_ID=%23*%3CY%5D%0A 90.193.120.175 03:14, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Singer songwriter born as Jeroen Alexander Damen on 23-6-1975 in Amsterdam. After what he calls 'a childhood in a constant dreamworld'. At the age of 11 he picks up a pair of drumsticks, and start playing with leonard Lucieer (his nabour) and Maarten van den broek. they played namely on the street, un der city theather of Amsterdam on the Leidseplein. They got a lot of attention because there weren't any bands playing on the street of 12 year olds, playing the hell out of there instruments, mostly Hendrix tunes. after 3 years they where asked to audition for a youth theather project, called Basta. They toured with the musicall that has over 30 young actors, all around the main theathers of The Netherlands. Dressed up like the Blues Brothers and barely 16. After the show was finished, John was playing mostly on jamsessions at night in the city. Mosty without any knowledge of his mum. Almost every day you could find him as a verry driven young talent on drums. In the day time he practised and selftought to play guitar, vocals, keyboard and songwriting. at the age of 17 he was picked up by a band called Obscure Groove, and together with vocalists Wendell Morrison and Marian Rolle they recorded there debut album 'orders please'. Album wasn't a succes, aldo the some people in the business reconed the band was about to make a grande break through. John had co written some tracks, and stunned the other, much older band members, with his song ' sentimental break'. The years after that till he was 24 he played with hundreds of bands. almost constantly playing live all around the world, but mostly in the Netherlands. In the day time he spend almost every day 8~12 hours in an attic where a friend had a little studio, consisting of a 4 track, a keyboard workstation and a DAT recorder. Here is where he refined his writing skills, he has recorded over 300 ideas, wich he calls his lessons. Most of these recording where lost, due to the fact he didn't have much money to buy new cassettes and him choatic nature. It isnt a petty, some has still remained and formed a basis for his current work, wich still counts over hundred recorded songs. "one day i packet my drums up and i knew it, this was not my future". At the age of 24 he stopped playing with bands, and practically never played a gig on drums again. Still today people who have seen him play drums, still hope he will play again. "I got fed up backing up people, that where trying to tell me what to do, while in fact i was covering there mistakes". For two years John wondered around not knowing exactly what to do. He folunteared for a charity programme in Zimbabwe, raising money and going there to help the smaller local people that where trying to do good, while the country was suffering too big problems to get helped by the bigger organisations. he travelled a bit in the states, mostly in the south. "people told me i was crazy to go to Alabama, there would be only rednecks. Yeah they are there, but show me one place where racism is a stranger, i have met some of the kindest and warmest people there, with a good grip on the political situation in the world. There's treasure everywhere". After two years he decided to apply for the highly acclaimed, Dutch academy of film, in Amsterdam. After 4 years he becomes master of arts in film making. Altho studied for sound design, after workign on a few motion pictures during his study, he gets asked to make a film for a law firm just after he graduates. The past two years he has made a living working as an director for short films, documentairies and commercials. Aldo half way his study, he picked up playing with some friends, in a bar. playing the songs he wrote, mostly during his early years. Many songs wich got re-written, find there roots in the earlier experiments. John never liked his names when it comes down to exposure. There for its verry difficult to track down exactly what he has done. people whisper he has written some of the biggest hits, around, some wich are still playing today. Unfortunately, since almost any new project is done under a different name, and John never cared about song right s or contracts, it will be a secret taken to the grave by John Filterkick. " My performing and writing works will be a gift to the world. Achiement is not a static state, the way to achievement is a static state". Currently he is working under his old pseudoniem John Filterkick. He is performing low key with his band Filterkick. The writing of songs, and the making of films is an static factor. About 10 % of his work is traceble, aldo many people who have seen him play his songs, will have to say, there is some different.

USS Haines (APD-84)
[edit]
The USS Haines, a Buckley class destroyer escort, High Speed Transport ship, was built as the USS Haines (DE-792) in 1943, but was redesigned and recommissioned as APD-84 in 1944. It's build was sponsored by Mary V. Haines and the first person to be in command of the Haines was Lieutenant Commander Elmer Powell. The Haines was laid down on 17 May, 1943 at Consolidated Steel Corporation in Orange, Texas. Once the Haines was put into commission, it was sent into duty for World War II. Haines was sent throughout Europe, from France, to Italy, and even to Egypt. After serving its duty in Europe, the Haines was sent to the other side of the world to fight in the Pacific. The Haines traveled to a variety of islands, including Okinawa, Guam, and the Japanese mainland. One of the more significant things the crew of the ship had done was doing a report of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb was dropped. Crew member, Thomas Magnifico, said "The only thing standing was a concrete smoke stack." The ultimate fate of the Haines after WWII was to be sold for scrap parts in 1960.

The First Satanic Church of Sydney is an Australian-based organisation. The organisation was established and registered as a non-profit organisation, on the 29 of October, 2006 (also known in the Satanic community, as Anno Satanas.) The organisation originally started out as "The Satanic Resurrection" but had changed that name after discoveries (unknown to the public) regarding former members of the organisation. The group was founded by Matthew Leigh Schnider (known within the organisation as Magus/High Priest Matthew Schnider) who still remains the acting High Priest. The organisation does base its 'inspirations' on the names such as Aleister Crowley, Anton Szandor LaVey, Ayn Rand, Edgar Allan Poe, Freidrich Nietzsche, H.P Lovecraft, among others. According to the organisation, they are an anti-Church of Satan organisation. Stating in an interview in late November of 2006, Matthew Schnider came forward and stated "The Church of Satan simply besmirch Satanism. All they represent is a herd mentality. Pseudo-religionst twits, who hold The Satanic Bible, and Dr. LaVey as a sacred doctrine. If there is anyone who has come close to living up to LaVey's legacy, it's his daughter Karla LaVey. The Church of Satan have managed to turn the organisation into a revenue-raising, Church of self-deceit." The interview caused mass caos throughout the Satanic community. When asked, the organisation stated "We care not for pseudo-religionists. If they have a problem with us, then it's of their own ignorance and stupidity." Rumours have also surfaced regarding the number of members within the organisation. The German Administrative Office came forward, and announced that no-such information would ever be handed out to the public or even its own members. As their website clearly states, that no personally identifiable information will ever be released. Including the number of Active and Registered members. The total of members, is estimated to be in the 3,000 mark. In February 2007, the group officially released its United States Headquarters, in Arizona. The Headquarters (also known as a Grotto) was granted a Grotto Master, Magister Zach Marshall, to be its main Administrative Officer and Agent. In the same month of 2007, the group also officially released its German Headquarters in Berlin, Germany. The Grotto Master was and still remains Magister Mitchell Bernasconi. Ordainment[edit]First Degree - Reverend/Reverend

MoreMobility is a Canadian MVNO similar to SearsConnect. It is connected with Save-On-Foods, whose catch phrase is "Save On More", hence the name MoreMobility. It runs off Rogers' GSM network, but it isn't clear if it is a deal that was originally with Microcell or if it was with Rogers to begin with.

The Jetz Series was created with by the late Shawn "Shawn64" Noel (??-2006) (herinafter referred to as S64). There are four games in the series, the last (Jetz Rampage 4) being one of the last games created before S64 took his life. The games have individually won various competitions. In the games, a protagonist (Jetz) rages against the world, and the police, by destroying cities with various deadly weapons. The story is the sequel to S64's Galaxy Arcade 2. During the four games, the appearance of Jetz changes. In the first Jetz game, he appeared as a human in a red suit with a jetpack. In Jetz Rampage 2 and Jetz Fusion, though, he wore blue and a helmet. Finally, in Jetz Rampage 4, Jetz wears white armor, which becomes damaged as the player loses health. When Jetz appears in an S64 Infection crossover, he wears the blue suit and helmet. S64's movement scheme in Jetz sparked a lot of interest in the Game Maker community. The use of relative speeds in Jetz was almost unknown before its creation. He was respected for his "creativity and productivity" (citation needed) and the Jetz movement scheme eventually made it into other games created with Game Maker. The movement is based on a lack of friction, and thus there is no minimum or maximum speed. Some may think this difficult to control, but find that in fact it is not. S64 rates the Jetz Rampage series as [MA 15+], due to the blood, gore, and violence expressed within the game. Of course, one could discover this easily, merely by looking at the many amounts of weapons available in the game: Pistol, Chainsaw, Water Gun, Grenades, Rocket Launcher, Sniper Rifle, Megagun... the list continues. Not all of these features are immediately available, though. One of the great draws of Jetz is the fact that some things must be bought or unlocked. Jetz starts the games only with a pistol and some grenades, but by killing innocent bystanders and blasting away phone booths, he can find money with which to buy some of the more powerful weapons. Jetz can also pick up civilians and hurl them into the air. The many choices that Jetz can make, and the many options the player unlocks, make it almost unbelievable that it is free software. However, in holding with the tradition of most Game Maker users, S64 released all four Jetz Rampage games as free downloads from his website. Even though the site has not been updated since S64's death, they are still available. The Jetz Rampage series is one worth playing.

TCI2 continued developing tactical communications solutions between 1996 and 2001, establishing a reputation as a small company with significant application experience and design bandwidth. In late 2001, the tragic events of September 11th and subsequent military action, made it readily apparent that even the tactical headsets being used by U.S. Special Forces and particularly the U.S. Air Force (TACP - Tactical Air control Party), and U.S. Army (ETAC/JTAC - Joint Tactical Air Contoller), we not providing the reliability and capabilities necessary in the opinion of various direct sources. Forward thinking Special Forces personnel approached industry in an effort to solve the issues that could ultimately result in unnecessary collateral damage, unnecessary loss of life, reduction in operational efficiency and reliability of their tactical communications. During this process, TCI2 was contacted and Don Medine immediately described a new solution that was known as the Liberator LSS Tactical Headset (LSS- Liberator Soldier System). The LSS comprised of components that provided electronic hearing protection, yet enhanced situational awareness and tactical radio communication. In addition, the LSS was offered in configurations that would allow an operator to use up to two tactical radios simultaneously and allow Special Forces to integrate the LSS with their ballistic helmets and a variety of vehicle, command/control and even military aircraft intercommunication systems. According to Don Medine, these capabilities were likely exclusive at that time and certainly capabilities and integration not commercially available during this period. Soon after, TCI2 received various Special Forces contracts to provide their solutions. Admittedly, TCI2, does have competitors and were not the only organization providing tactical communication headsets to the U.S. military. Nonetheless, Don Medine believes TCI2 has surprised many people in their industry, saved lives, enhanced mission capabilities and ultimately allowed TCI2 to very proud of the work they have done. Currently TCI2 continued to focus on the needs of tactical operators first, as opposed to profit margins, when creating their tactical headset solutions. This seems to be something that has helped TCI2 reaffirm their intentions and viability as a source tactical officers could go to get what they need, according to Don Medine. TCI2's new digital headset known as the Liberator II Tactical Headset and ITJCS - Integrated TACP/JTAC Communication Suite has been engineered to provide even more options and capabilities than the LSS. TCI2 is a California based company that strives to create opportunities and growth for its employees. Don Medine believes that it's an incredible challenge to maintain a small business in times when humongous defense contractors are pervasive, but, "Doing the right things, for the right reasons", should never be under valued.

Tak Giu, an indie short film about Singaporean football, gained a cult-following and gathered 100,000 viewers in 6 months after it was hosted on the internet. Shot with just a camcorder, Tak Giu spread like wild-fire and made waves in the Singaporean football and online community. The 15 min film in Singlish was produced, written and directed by Jacen Tan, who also starred in the film. The film talks about the lack of soccer fields in soccer crazy Singapore and difficulties of finding suitable fields in land scarce Singapore. It also laments Singaporeans' lack of support for their national soccer and the futility of Singapore's 2010 World Cup goal. Aside from being mentioned in prominent blogs and internet portals, Tak Giu was featured on local newspapers like The Straits Times, The New Paper, and Today. Jacen Tan was also invited to appear on TV programs like ESPN “Football Crazy”, “LiveWire” on Arts Central, Radio UFM 100.3 on the late Show with DJ Yuling, and News 93.8fm. It was shown in the CINEKATIPUNAN film fest in Philippines. In November 2005, Jacen Tan’s 2nd short film, Zo Peng, won 2nd place at the Panasonic/MDA Digital Film Fiesta, Short Film Open Category. Jacen Tan has also produced and directed Silverpiece, a music video for popular Singaporean indie band, Lunarin. Jacen also directed the music video "Silverpiece" for the alternative rock band, Lunarin. Silverpiece was shown in the Cannes Midem '07. Jacen's new short film, 'Zo Gang' will hit the internet by the end of 2006.

The Vietnamese dragon is not unlike those of the more common Chinese or Asian dragon. Vietnamese dragons have the same characteristics, such as a ling, snake-like body, antelope-like horns, and tough, shimmering hides with scales. Vietnamese dragons also have the ability to fly without wings, and legend has it, can control the yearly rains and monsoons. The Vietnamese dragon is symbolized by water, and the European or Western dragon is symbolized by fire. Vietnamese dragons are known as kind, intelligent, and wise. But be warned - they can be desrtructive when they are angery. There are two types of Vietnamese dragon - the common dragon and the royal dragon. The only difference is that the royal dragon has five claws, while the common dragon only has four. Sources[edit]67.101.109.10 18:38, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rollinia is a genus of the family Annonaceae, which also contains custard apples and soursops. It is a tropical tree that bears round, yellow fruit. It needs a warm and humid climate to grow well. Not all fruit is edible. Two species produce edible fruit: R. mucosa and R. pulchrinervris. The flavour of the fruit is described as similar to that of a lemon meringue pie. Ripe fruit is very soft and easily bruised; the fruit cannot be stored for long periods of time. It is usually eaten fresh, but Brazilians use it to make wine.

The Puriri Shied is the name of a shield from Christchurch, New Zealand that is slowly growing in popularity around New Zealand. The title holder, or Shied, can defend against any number of competitors, and in any form of competition that they deem fit. The Puriri Shied changes hands when a competitor beats the Shied at their own stipulations and rulings. Matches for this prized possession have been held all around New Zealand, including Christchurch, Mount Maunganui, Rotorua, Tauranga, Banks Peninsula and more. The current Shied is D.B.Henry (Daniel Henry) from Christchurch, New Zealand. The Puriri Sheid began when two great men with nothing to do, set about the task of smashing things with a baseball bat. After smashing such things as overgrown grass and a darts board, the men came across a fancy chair and after some rigerous busting up, the Shied was born of this carnage. The Shied has since been defended many times and has become somewhat of a legacy in New Zealand social circles. The Sheid family has grown and rules have been adopted to accommodate the growing popularity of this prize. Although it seems that this may appear as some joke or hoax, the competitors take it very seriously and although the gesture of such a competitive environment amongst grown men seems pathetic to onlookers, the Shied alumni laugh at these people and continue on their paths to greatness. Around the country, word of this competition erupted into spin-off competitions, such as the WC (World Championship). A belt similarly used in professional wrestling, but made out of household objects that is used in a similar fashion to the Shied, where it is defended under similar principles and rulings, and in simluar types of competitions. For a list of rules, former champions and information about the Shied, visit the official website at http://theshied.tripod.com I suggest you go there if you want more information about this awesome title.

Singer, Songwriter and Producer Faramarz Aslani is admittedly a rare phenomenon in the Iranian modern music. He writes his own lyrics & music, and he sings them accompanied by his stylish guitar playing. He is a graduate of London University's College of Journalism and has written for several Persian and English publications, since his graduation in the early seventies. Upon returning to his native country, he worked for one of two English dailies, "Tehran Journal" until he was spotted by the President of CBS, in Tehran.
