Got the facts on Milk?
[edit]
|
|---|
‘Got the facts on Milk?’ is a feature documentary that questions the health benefits of dairy products and examines the dairy industry's advertised claims on milk. The film brings forth the true facts on milk with a bite of sarcasm on it’s social impact along with the many recently raised questions regarding hormones, bone health, allergies, lactose intolerance, diabetes, cancer, methane, food assistant programs and the conduct of studies that the dairy industry bases it’s advertising.

The Nutrients
[edit]
|
|---|
Introduction[edit]Based out of Denton, TX, perhaps the most influential band of our time, or, indeed, any time, The Nutrients are a humble trio who insist that despite the adoring fans and constant revenue off of merchandise, their only goals are "to spread peace and peas through out the galaxy". Whether they're tearing up their instruments with powerful, catchy, tantalizing, backbreaking three chord songs or sticking it to the man, the nutrients are transforming the lives of boys and girls, trannies and poets alike, day in and day out. Getting their start in 1992, these health enthusiasts have been dedicated to the promotion of the combination of organic fruits, veggies, soy products, and the power of music for years. Though The Nutrients have toured countless amounts of miles and played endless amounts of shows, they are most excited about the prospect of playing a Hogwarts gig very soon. Two of their members, Eggplant Emily and Amino Ashley, attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and discovered a mutual love for nutrition in the Ravenclaw common room. Amino Ashley later then met Mikey Mineral at a nakid sky diving competition. Not one song has ever dissapointed their loyal listeners since their start, and The Nutrients don't plan on stopping that trend any time soon.
The Early Years[edit]Ashley and Emily have been friends since middle school and meet Mical in college. They wanted to form a band that had their beliefs in the music. Line up[edit]The current, and original line up: Where are they now?[edit]The band broke up in 2006 after a love triangle between the members. The remaining members have been forced to nine to five jobs like the rest of us smoes. Ashley is now a manager at a theater. Mical works at Hasting and Emily moved to Paris and was never heard of again. But a reunion might be in the works. Ashley and Mical are looking for a new lead guitarist.

[edit]
|
|---|
Bobby Wundu Sowa Newcombe (born on August 8, 1979 in Sierra Leone, Africa) is a former NCAA football quarterback for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. As a sophomore in 1998, Newcombe led his team to a 9-4 record in spite of suffering from a knee injury in the first game that would plague him all season long. He led Nebraska in passing yards with 712 and ran for 228 yards as an option quarterback. Newcombe completed 50-of-79 passes while throwing just one interception. He was replaced by Eric Crouch, a Heisman Trophy winner, the following year.

Charlie Shiels
[edit]
|
|---|
File:Http://www.charlieshiels.co.uk/images/SelfEdNewSmall.jpg His paintings often include public meeting places- Public Houses, European and American cafe bars, restaurants and Grand hotels. Spots such as these prove to be ideal opportunities to observe the subject matter in detail. Much of the work focuses on transitory groups of people with focus on facial expressions, body language and human interaction. Good humored and affectionate images include sometimes bizarre characters and distorted locations. Light and shade play a large part in the overall effect of the paintings. Influences[edit]Shiels takes his influences from a wide range: Rembrandt, Marc Chagall, Stanley Spencer, Mark Rothko, and the background artists of Walt Disney. Traveling increased the inspiration gained for each piece, as did visiting art galleries, architecturally interesting places, and many 'quirkier' cafe bars.
Prior to beginning a new oil painting or series, a number of pencil sketches with pastel color reference or watercolor are produced, and large canvasses take many months to complete. Career[edit]Charlie Sheils currently lives in Manchester but travels widely. After leaving school and perusing a variety of jobs, thought maintaining his interest in art by painting in his spare time and exhibiting in group and open shows around north west England. Aged 29 Charlie enrolled in a full time three year Fine art B.A (hons) course. Following this a period of free-lance work (commercial illustration and commissions) then at 38 began teaching Art and Design part time at Stockport College of further Education. This progressed to full time work and soon a promotion to Senior Lecturer. In 1996 Sheils left teaching to devote himself to full time painting. His work has been featured in a one ma exhibition at The Unicorn Gallery, Chelsea in 1999, as well as a full page article in The Art Review (1999). Another major exhibition at the Woolff Gallery, Shoreditch, London in 2002, and in a full page article in the Artists and Illustrators magazine in 2003. He also held a one man exhibition at the Blyth Gallery, Manchester, October 2003.

A.N.P.Rao
[edit]
|
|---|
A.N.P.Rao Crossword composer and writer on Kannada cinema- A.N.Prahlada Rao has worn both hats with élan. And while he was about it, Prahlada Rao has virtually created a new genre of literature on cinema trivia, as his magnum opus, “Bangarada Manushya” a biography of the late thespian Rajakumar, proved in 2005, when it milestoned the actor’s 50 years in cinema. When the actor died in 2006, “Bangarada Manushya” made brisk sales, scarce as the literature on the Kannada filmdom’s icon has been. A.N.Prahlada Rao, born in 1953 in Abbani village, Kolar district of Karnataka, demonstrated very early in life a penchant for wordplay, and gravitated naturally towards jobs in journalism- first as a reporter for Kolara Patrike in 1975, and edited another daily, “Honnudi” from Kolar. In 1983, he joined the State Information Department, and among other assignments, he was in the media section of the Chief Minister’s office, and in the News Section of the Information Department. In many ways, “Bangarada Manushya” is a milestone in Rao’s own journey across crossword grids, collecting trivia , adding to a bank of information that can become quite a nest egg of history. Over 23 years, Rao has composed more than 18,000 crosswords, and today, nearly every Kannada newspaper or magazine sports the puzzles created by him, on scores of themes, that celebrate cinema in a myriad ways. Every puzzle that he creates is a mosaic of information on the theme he chooses- not only in general- cinema, literature, crime, science, mythology, food, sport, and in the process, shown how learning Kannada and appreciating its culture can be a pleasurable experience. If dailies like Kannada Prabha, and Vijaya Karnataka sport the grid-and-clues school of Kannada every day, Weekly magazines like Karmaveera, Mangala, and the fortnightly Balamangala have Rao’s general knowledge quiz and puzzles. For Aragini and E Sanje, Rao composes film-based crossword puzzles. For a whole year, Managala Weekly carried Rao’s crosswords based on the theme of Kannada’s literary starr The Kannada University in Hampi has been using his specially custom-made puyzzles in its publication, Vignana Sangati for more than three years. Prajavani’s cinema supplement has been featuring his ”filmy” grids for more than 12 years. As for Aragini, Rao’s crosswords on film themes have been a regular feature for over 23 years. There really is no Kannada film journal worth its name that has not featured Rao’s puzzles at one time or another- Vijayachitra of the Chandamama publications , Udayaraga published out of Mumbai, Dehali Varte published from Delhi, Priyanka, Chitra, Rangavalli, Star, Cinema Makaranda…… Rao’s repertoire trespass into the genre of critique and analysis as well- its not all trivia.and pun- intended or otherwise. If “Bangarada Manyshya” is his magnum opus, the intervening years have been for Rao a time to follow the unfolding of drama of Kannada cinema- All the magazines that give him his grid never forget to invite him to write scholarly or informed articles in their special issues – Aragini featured his article on memorable movies, Karmaveera published “Gathavaibhava”, Mangala featured him on the series on cinema history- “chalanachitra itihasa”, and provided inputs for Karnataka University’s publication, “Kiriyara Karnataka (encyclopedia) and Cinema history, cinema articles also published in Sudha- popular kannada weekly, Roopatara- cinema monthly, Chitra- cinema monthly. “Bangarada Manushya” is not merely a biography on the greatest icon of Kannada cinema, it is the synthesis of the essence of Kannada cinema, tracked through the career of Rajkumar. The trivia and titbits that figure dominantly in Rao’s puzzles add colour and interest to the study of an absorbing subject – Rajkumar and Kannada cinema. His second book “Belliterey Belagidavaru” — nuggets profiling 115 filmstars who twinkled on the Kannada silver screen with a foreword by director Girish Kasaravalli, who is also profiled, “Belliterey Belagidavaru” offers a pleasant ride through Kannada cinema and the famous names that people it.

The Major BBS Controversy
[edit]
|
|---|
Who actually owns Major BBS/Worldgroup? It has been a subject of controversy for awhile now. It's pretty clear that Tim Stryker would not have wanted it to be this way. He had a vision of a greater future. Instead, today, as Sysops and users, past and present (and possibly future) of Major BBS and Worldgroup systems, we would really like to know the real truth. Major BBS got popular in the early to mid 1990s, as one of the fastest and most expensive bulletin boards around. Up to 256 modems could connect to a single computer, and internet access was easily attainable, as long as you could afford it. Major BBS has not been supported or sold since the late 1990s, soon after the fall of the BBS in 1996. The world wide web took over, with more graphical forums, electronic mail, and undoubtedly cheaper internet access. What made it so popular in the first place? If we compare it to the internet today, there aren't many differences. You can do everything on the web that you could on a BBS system, and much much more, not to mention the graphical improvements. Downloading has gotten faster, as modem speeds got higher and broadband access got cheaper and more plentiful. Gaming, trivia, chat, e-mail, message boards, and eventually IRC were some of the things that really made many systems stand out. Trade Wars 2002, Mutants, Crossroads of the Elements, Farwest Trivia, and various other games were very popular. If we compare this bbs and these games to many of the other types of bbs systems around back in the 90s (Synchronet, Pcboard, WWIV) - one of the things you may notice is the speed difference. Major BBS was made to be a multi-line, multi-tasking system, while other bbs systems just "supported" it, usually using very complicated or expensive means (using multiple computers or dos multitaskers) of getting the job done. Using a multitasker in DOS was not only hard to setup, but it could cause some major performance decreases, making a bbs run more slowly, and on many occasions, would require the sysop to upgrade the RAM in that PC. Before its end, major bbs was revised with a new name: Worldgroup. Worldgroup used much of the Major BBS source code, but its main feature was adding a GUI system. A visitor would download a windows client, and he or she could get an "aol-like" experience. Worldgroup slowly crept toward its own independent BBS, leaving behind compatibility with almost all Major BBS modules and games. By version 3, they made a 16-bit windows version, of which no DOS modules were compatible at all. Games like Crossroads of the elements and many others would be left behind for good. Other games like mutants and trade wars 2002 were tried but too little too late. Their respected companies just didn't do enough bug-testing and fixing on them, and they were abandoned. Still, many games were updated, most requiring an additional upgrade fee. MajorMud, Swords of Chaos, The Rose - Council of Guardians, etc. But this article isn't about the timeline of major bbs nor worldgroup. It is about who actually owns the software. There are two individuals claiming ownership of Galacticomm and all of its assets: Rick Hadshall (Elwynor Technologies, The Major BBS Restoration Project) Nate Hammond (Netvillage, The Dogs Singing Group) Nate Hammond and Worldgroupware's Don Barr have been selling Worldgroup for many years. Exactly how many copies of it has sold, we may never know, but one thing that striked me as odd was the fact that Nate nor Don actually has any way to register nor upgrade Major BBS systems. They claim that the registration software was lost years ago. On the other hand, Rick Hadshall actually has a more up-to-date registration list and is able to register and upgrade major bbs software, because he obviously has the original galacticomm software to do so. Both groups claim to have purchased gcomm assets from lenders. There were rumors going around the net that one group (we won't mention) actually broke in to gcomm's headquarters after the bankruptcy and stole as much software, informational files, and source code as possible, before the bank could collect all of it up. Some people said they actually planned to do sort of a Robin Hood with it: make it better, cheaper or even free, for the BBS community, but that never happened. Are all of the creditors paid off? Is there any one else claiming ownership we don't know about? If an opposing party owns the software that worldgroupware and netvillage has been selling for years, will that party be forced to compensate the opposing party for all of the (millions?!? of dollars in) sales if it were to go to court? Will we ever know who actually owns Major BBS, Worldgroup, Galacticomm? With out a long court battle, likely not! In the meantime, invite both parties to link to this wikipedia, to show proof of ownership, in the form of scanned sales receipts, signed contracts, and release of assets to each company. This fight has been going on long enough. Let's finish it once and for all! Sources[edit]71.29.24.200 14:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

SOME PRESS NOTICES "Barney Platts-Mills is a real film maker… far and away the most interesting and exciting talent to emerge in the British Cinema since… well since Lindsay Anderson." John Russel Taylor, The Times. "Shines brightly out of the fog of inadequacy and faint-heartedness emanating from most British films.. has clearly gained in style and clarity without loosing his spontaneous and open approach to the difficult art of making films that don't look in any way mocked-up." Derek Malcolm, The Guardian. "...a fresh and sympathetic manner … his style is beautifully consistent and appropriate." Patrick Gibbs, The Daily Telegraph. " Bold text…vigorous very real talent." Jay Cocks, Time Magazine. BRONCO BULLFROG "Tender, touching, wryly funny… Says more than any costly effort about the generation gap frustration that drives most kids to put the boot in. I will remember its bitter ironic tang." Robert Ottaway, The Daily Sketch. "A piece of neo-realism far more rigorous and effective than anything the Italians attempted even in the movements heyday. Funny, immensely telling. The non-professional cast is miraculously well directed." John Russel Taylor, The Times. "Funny, honest, serious… will be remembered long after most British products of the year have been forgotten." Derek Malcolm, The Guardian. "Remarkably free from pretentious messages and stylistic excess, constantly engaging… charming in its ingenuousness and one of the most touching love stories in recent years."
Michael Kerbel, The Village Voice.
"A smashing and pretty sobering Cockney film … stirring and true spirited." Penelope Gilliat, The New Yorker. "A film of genuine distinction, notable for the honesty with which it faces every situation. The observation of character is so free of the usual manipulations that our concern is lastingly established. Not many films leave us asking for more, Private Road is a notable exception." Eric Shorter, The Daily Telegraph. "What is important in the film is the scope it gives for developing the characters and their relationships. It deals with individuals rather than a phenomenon generally labelled 'youth'. A film of immense charm and originality." John Russel Taylor, The Times. "…has the extraordinary ability to observe people frankly and lovingly, to make their very non-communication articulate and to define with precision and without loosing their individuality, types that are recognisably contemporary and new to our times." David Robinson, The Financial Times. "Funny and touching, sensitive but unsentimental, the great virtue of the film is that it plays fair." George Melly, The Observer. "The sort of movie that looks you straight in the eye." Derek Malcolm, The Guardian. 'HERO "A true original… Possesses the most genuine feeling for an exploited land and its sorely tried people. A sad heroic tale, full of of fantasy and magic and the signs of a forgotten culture." Derek Malcolm, The Guardian. "Truly original and startlingly full of allusions to the present. An examination of an exploited land and its troubled and dispossessed people" Virginia Dignam, The Morning Star. "A fascinating, bold enterprise. Deserves a big audience for the breadth of its adventure and its thrilling momentum." Tom Hutchinson, Mail on Sunday. So powerful, so original, such good entertainment, it should be seen widely. Lindsay Mackie, The Glasgow Herald.

Francis Menotti
[edit]
|
|---|
Phelan studied at the Goodman Theater in Chicago, and with Lee Strasberg in New York, and participated in the American Shakespeare Festival.[2] In the mid-1960s, the noted composer Gian Carlo Menotti began working frequently with Phelan, then a young actor and figure skater. Phelan began to appear in many of Gian Carlo Menotti's performances. He appeared as a mime in such Menotti operas as The Medium, The Saint of Bleecker Street and The Egg.[3] The two developed a relationship, and in 1974, Gian Carlo Menotti legally adopted Phelan, whom he called "Chip," as his legal son[4]. Francis Phelan took the last name of Menotti. On August 24, 1985, Francis Menotti married Malinda Fitler Murphy, the youngest daughter of and Dr. James S. Murphy and Margaretta Fitler Murphy. In 1963, Margaretta Fitler Murphy divorced Dr. Murphy and, one month later, married then-Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, who became Vice President in 1974. The ceremony was held at Gian Carlo Menotti's home called Yester House in Scotland.[5] Gian Carlo gave Francis and Malinda Yester House, a historic 100-room castle, as a wedding present.[6] With Malinda, Francis Menotti had two children, Claudio and Cosimo. Gian Carlo, Francis, Malinda and their children all lived together in Yester House. Malinda Menotti died suddenly on 24 October, 2005.[7] Francis is currently best known for his involvement with the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy which his father Gian Carlo founded in 1958. As his father aged, Francis became more and more involved in the running of the Festival. Francis eventually came to hold the title of Artistic Director of the Festival in 1999[8], and also acquired the title of Festival President. However, the love that the organizations that put on the Festival (such as the City of Spoleto and the Festival Foundation) had for Gian Carlo did not transfer to Francis. Tensions arose between the Menotti family and these organizations, and private and corporate funding and attendance at the Spoleto Festival have declined significantly under the leadership of Francis.[9] In his will, Gian Carlo bequeathed the Festival to Francis; however, immediately after the death of Gian Carlo in February of 2007, when full ownership was acquired by Francis, efforts to ouster Francis from the positions of President and Artistic Director became explicit and forceful.[10] Sources[edit]

Mission
iMentor demonstrates that (1) even the busiest New Yorkers have time to be quality mentors and that (2) formal mentoring programs can flourish in NYC's most isolated, low-income, and underserved communities. iMentor uses mentoring to bridge the divide between New York City's eclectic communities, creating unique and dynamic relationships that would not have been possible without the program. By exposing both mentors and mentees to new facets of their shared city, iMentor makes and facilitates meaningful connections, empowering youth with the skills and resources critical for personal, academic and career success.
iMentor was created to solve two major problems faced by young people in under-served communities: • Lack of mentors • Lack of technology literacy Millions of youth nationwide are in need of mentors and do not have them. In addition, schools and after school programs serving under-resourced communities struggle to develop strategies for using computers and the Internet as effective educational tools. Educators need training and support in using technology to improve the lives of their students. iMentor’s strategies address both problems.
88% of mentees felt that being involved with iMentor made them more confident interacting with adults, meeting new people and interacting in new environments. 88% of mentees said that iMentor introduced them to opportunities and experiences that they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. 85% of mentees felt that being involved with iMentor has made them a better student.
