 * This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

Shane Tyas is a British socialite. In the summer of 2005 it was widely publicized that Tyas had an affair with Paris Hilton while she was engaged to be married to Greek heir Paris Latsis. Hilton and Tyas denied the allegations although Tyas admitted to having "a huge crush" on Hilton. Weeks later it was reported that Shane Tyas had checked into rehab after being spotted snorting cocaine. In late 2005 it was reported that Tyas would be starring in a new version of the Fox reality show "The Simple Life" with American socialie/author Patrique. In early 2006 Shane Tyas was reportedly sued for $3 million by Paris Hilton, Patrique, and gossip blogger Perez Hilton. The lawsuit alleged that Tyas himself started the rumors of the Hilton affiar to "bolster his own career" and that Tyas threatned bodily harm against Patrique if he didn't help distribute the rumors. Perez Hilton claimed the false rumor "irreperably damaged" the reputation of his gossip column.

Despite Shane Tyas' presence in the tabloid media, Tyas insists that he is "publicity shy" and has threatned to sue media just for releasing photos of him, although in 2005 gossip column Jossip released his picture without incident.

Years later, and shane tyas has taken a fall. He is now living in Brighton in the southeast in a homeless shelter. Shane had grown an addiction to Class A drugs, including heroin, crack cocain and MDMA. It has been said that the Paris Hilton affair rumour has sparked off a mentle health illness in shane tyas, reports say that he has become obsessed with drama and attention and will go out of his way to cause it in other people lives.

Dan Kelley

 * This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

Ever since he was a child, Daniel Kelley had to fight a major disease: Fro-citis. He has had a perpetual afro since the age of 6 months. His parents at first tried to use ordinary barber shears to chop his locks, but they proved to by ineffective. At the age of 12, Dan was contacted by Area 51 officials. Dan and his family are the only ones who know that Area 51's actual purpose has nothing to do with extraterrestial life: It's true purpose is to design a metal alloy that has strength enough to tame the vicious beast formally called Dan Kelley's afro. One may ask: Why cut the fro? There are many inconviniences that come with have a fro with the enormity that Dan's has. On windy days, he tends to be swept off his feet for his afro is like a sail. Also, if he stays still for too long, wild birds form nests in his jungle of a fro. To this day, the top scientists around the world have not been able to solve the problem of Dan's fro. On May 3 1999, nobel laurerate Michael Hunt thought that he had discovered a new metal that would surely cut through even the toughest fro. Boy was he wrong. On May 4 1999 Michael Hunt died from a powerful blow to the head. The coroner's report stated that it seemed that the shears he invented to attept to cut Dan's fro had a powerful recoil when they came into contact with the hair. The shears shot out of his hand and the handle hit him in the temple and he instantly died. Dan Kelley's fro was charged for secondary manslaughter. The fro was sentenced to 25 to life in the local state prison. The sentencing of his fro has proven to be a huge inconvinience. Dan's fro has been in prison for 7 years and is currently trying to appeal its sentence.

Golden Gate College

 * This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

Golden Gate College was the name under which Golden Gate University was originally incorporated in 1923 as a California non-profit public benefit corporation. The college originated from the literary reading groups of the San Francisco Central YMCA, founded in 1853. The YMCA Night School was established in 1884 and became the YMCA Evening College in 1896. The College became functionally independent in 1901 with the establishment of the YMCA Evening Law School, and for that reason takes 1901 as its formal founding date. It was not actually incorporated separately from the YMCA, however, until 1923.

The name 'Golden Gate College' was adopted in 1910 after a contest to choose a new name. From its founding until 1966, the college shared quarters with the San Francisco Central YMCA on Golden Gate Avenue, and that location - rather than the Golden Gate Strait - was the source of the name.

The college moved to its current location at 536 Mission Street in 1966. It expanded and became Golden Gate University in 1972.

The impact of the East and India on the Genius of William Somerset Maugham

 * This request for creation has been reviewed. The result is below.

<British novelist, playwright, and short story writer William Somerset Maugham was born on January 25, 1874 in Paris as the sixth and youngest son of the solicitor to British embassy. French was his native town. He was orphaned at the age of 10 and was sent to England to live with his uncle, the Vicar of Whitstable. He was educated at King’s school, Canterbury and Heidelberg University. He studied medicine which gave him an opportunity “to see life in raw.” He started believing that a medical training is necessary for every writer as he could get an opportunity to see different emotions and feeling bare. In order to get certificates, Maugham had to undergo some practical training. His experience in the state of Lambeth excited his creative instinct. He says, “In these three years I must have witnessed pretty well, every emotion of which man is capable…………It appeals to my dramatic instinct. It excited the novelist in me …………… I saw what hope looked like, fear and relief, I saw the dark lines that despairs drew on a face, I saw courage and stead fastness.” His medical training disclosed to him that man is the most wonderful creation of God and “We learn resignation not by our own suffering, but by the suffering of others.”  He got deeply interested in man. He loved human beings for their oddity and believes that each man has been gifted with a harmonious blending of good and evil. Maugham never felt at home in England. He always felt shy with English people. To him England has been a country where he had obligations to fulfill and responsibilities that irked him. For Maugham, the East had become more and more a liberation from all that had been a burden to him.

Thus, according to Maugham’s own statement, his first interest in the East had come by the way of literature. In later years an additional reason was his search for material for his novels, as he says, he finds more variety of sentiments and emotions in the eastern people. When asked by an American writer, Robert Van Gelder, “Why have you, after Of Human Bondage, so rarely returned to the English scene for your characters and background?” The author himself answered,” In England, you know, civilization goes fairly deep and it is an old civilization. This makes for an apparent sameness in the people. One must go through many layers to discover what it is that sets each man apart, to discover the unique and the natural man. Every man is unique, of course, but the strangeness that makes a man a story, the oddity within him, is not easy to find in a man who wears his civilization thickly. During the First World War I travelled and after it my travels become extensive. In those parts of the world where civilization is worn thinner, I found the unique man far easier to see. Material leaped at me-I handled it as well as I could.” Maugham’s nostalgia for foreign countries finds its literary expression in his works. He repeatedly made several journeys to the East and he never returned the same as before. So he, as well as his philosophy of life transformed significantly as a result of his encounter with new people whom he met in the East. Now, he comes across new types of human beings, uncultured according to the European standards but Maugham realizes that they have learned life in a different school. He had a great admiration for the eastern culture and cannot help in proclaiming, “………….Then it seemed to me that in these countries of the East the most impressive, and more awe-inspiring monument of antiquity is neither temple, nor citadel, great wall, but man.

In Europe he has never found the contradictions in man so obvious in form as in the East, for civilization in the Europe exercises such a powerful influence upon man that he is overpowered by it. Maugham says, “Culture is a mask that hides their faces. Here people show themselves bare,” William Somerset Maugham arrived in India in 1938, to find inspiration for a novel, which he decided to write incorporating Hindu philosophy. After roaming in many cities in his quest to know the meaning of life he reached Chennai, where he got a rare chance to meet a sage, as he would later write, “a swami who was most celebrated and the most revered then in India. They called him the Maharishi.” He planned to meet the Maharishi to quench his thirst for the knowledge of Hindu philosophy. Along with a customary fruit basket, he arrived in Tiruvannamalai at the ashram of Bhagvan Sri Ramana Maharishi who later became the fictional guru in his novel The Razor’s edge. Paul Brunton, a London Journalist, wrote a book ‘A Search in Secret India’ in 1934 to record his experiences with the holy Maharishi. Maharishi got renown in the West through this book. Life magazine devoted a feature to Maharishi in the May 30, 1994 issue titled, “Holy man Sri Ramana Maharishi has India’s answer to most of men’s problems.” Renowned journalist for Life magazine, Winthrop Sargent Wrote:” Sri Ramana’s views are extremely orthodox. His life of austerity, his renunciation of all worldly desires, his contemplative serenity, his unshakable peace of mind are all part of the traditional equipment of the Hindu sage.” But Maugham happened to be ignorant of all this. He onl;y came to know about him when he visited India. He could not tolerate the scorching heat of India and fainted out side the ashram of Sri Raman Maharishi. He tells the incident in 1958 in an essay, “The saint:” “I was carried into a hut and laid on a pallet bed. I did not know how long I remained unconscious, but presently I recovered. I felt, however, too ill to move. The Maharishi was told what had happened, and that I was not well enough to come into the hall in which he ordinarily sat, so, after some time, followed by two or three disciples, he came into the hut into which I had been taken.”

Sri Ramana Maharishi sat near his bed. “After the first few minutes,” Maugham continuous, “during which his eyes, with a gentle benignity, rested on my face, he ceased to look at me, but, with a side long stare of peculiar fixity, gazed, as it were. He remained thus, motionless, for perhaps a quarter of an hour; and they told me later that he was concentrating in meditation upon me. Then he came to, if I may so put it, and again looked at me. He asked me if I wished to say anything to him, or to ask any question. I was feeling weak and ill and said so; where upon he smiled and said, “Silence is also conversation.” Maugham had a deep interest in the religious traditions of the East. His motive to visit India was to collect informations on Hinduism. So his experience at the ashram was exhilarating for him. In his novel, later, he described Maharishi as “neither thin nor fat, polish brown in colour and clean-shaven, with close cropped white hair. He never wore anything but a loincloth, and yet he managed to look as trim and neat and well dressed as a young man in one of Brooks brothers’ advertisements.” During the Second World War time, Maugham wrote ‘The Razor’s Edge’ to express his own disillusionment from the game of power, money, greed and lust. He coined the title of his novel from a passage in Kathopnishad: “Like the sharp edge of a razor, the sages say, is the path. Narrow it is, and difficult to tread.” Maugham’s hero, Larry Darrell, a young American starts seeking for the meaning of life after the tragic death of his friend. He rejects the material life and wanted “to know whether God is or God is not,.” He wanted to “find out why evil exists. I want to know whether I have an immortal soul or whether when I die, it’s end.” His quest culminated in a South Indian ashram where he meets Shri Ganesha. Larry describes his meeting with Shri Ganesha: “When I got down to Travancore I found I needn’t have asked for information about Shri Ganesha, Everybody knows him.” ………. I found a young man at the entrance of the compound and asked if I could see the Yogi. I’d brought with me the basket of fruit, which is the customary gift to offer. In a few minutes the young man came back and led me into a long hall with windows all around it. In one corner Shri Ganesha sat in the attitude of meditation on a raised dais covered with a tiger skin. ‘I’ve been expecting you, he said…………… Before he’d said another word I knew this was the man I’d been seeking …………. ‘What have you come here for?’ he asked. I began to tell him how I’d come to India and how I’d passed my time for three years; how, on report of their wisdom and sanctity, I’d gone to one holy man after another and had found no one to give me what I looked for. He interrupted me: All that I know. There is no need to tell me. What have you came for? ‘So that you may be my Guru, he said.” Larry stayed in the ashram and quenched his thirst for real knowledge, their Vedantain the end, when Larry leaves India to the United States, he was firm to lead a life of “Calmness, forbearance, and compassion, selflessness and continence.” And he felt “never been happier or felt more independent,” in his life. Even Hindus would get surprised to see Maugham’s depth of knowledge on Hindus philosophy. Larry says: “Advaita doesn’t ask you to take anything on trust; it asks only that you should have a passionate craving to know Reality; it states that you can experience joy or pain. And there are men in India- hundreds of them for all I know-who have the certitude that they have done so. I found something wonderfully satisfying in the notion that you can attain Reality by knowledge. In later ages the sages of India, in recognition of human infirmity, admitted that salvation may be won by way of love and the way of works, but they never denied that the noblest way, though the hardest, is the way of knowledge, for its instruments is the most precious faculty of man, his reason.” On reincarnation Larry, the hero of Razor’s Edge says, “Can there be anything more stupendous than the conception that universe has no beginning and no end, but passes everlastingly from growth, the equilibrium to decline, from decline to dissolution, from dissolution to growth, and so on to all eternity?” (Maugham to Larry) “And what do the Hindus think is the object of this endless recurrence?” (Larry) “I think they’d say that such is the nature of the Absolute. You see, they believe that the purpose of creation is to serve as a stage for the punishment or reward of the deeds of the soul’s earlier existences.” (Maugham to Larry) “Which pre supposes belief in the transmigration of souls?” (Larry) “It’s a belief held by two thirds of the human race.” Maugham assimilated the Hindu theory of karma and makes his hero proclaim this fact that one should do good deeds in order to lead a better and happier life in the next birth. He says, “If the evils we suffer are the result of sins committed in our past lives, we can bear them with resignation and hope that if in this one, we strive towards virtue, our future lives will be less afflicted. But it’s easy enough to bear our own evils; all we need for, that is a little manliness; what is intolerable is the evil, often so unmerited in appearance, which befalls other. If you can persuade yourself that it is the instable result of the past, you may pity, you may do what can to alleviate-and you should- but you have no cause to be indignant”. Larry further expresses his views about the absolute, typical Hindu in essence – “according to Vedantists, the self, which they call the Atman and we call the soul, is distinct from the body and its senses, distinct from the mind and its intelligence; it is not part of the Absolute, for the Absolute, being infinite, can have no parts but the Absolute itself. It is uncreated; it has existed from eternity and when at last it has cast off seven veils of ignorance, will return to the infinitude from which it came. It is like a drop of water that has arisen from the sea and in a shower has fallen into a puddle, then drifts into a brook, finds it’s way into a stream, after that into a river, passing through mountain gorges and wide plains, winding this way and that, obstructed by rocks and fallen trees, till at last it reaches the boundless sea from which it rose.” Larry was also astonished and accepts the fact with an open and clear heart that “Indians look up on the word as an illusion (Maya).” He raises a question “Why Brahman ……….. should create the world.” He could not digest that God, who has created this world, could create evil also. He says, “Well, if you ask that question, the answer you’re generally given is that the Absolute created the world in sport without reference to any purpose. But when you think of flood and famine or earth quake and hurricane and all the ills that flesh is heir to, your moral sense is out- raged at the idea that so much that is shocking can have been created in play. Shri Ganesha had too much kindliness of heart to believe that; he looked upon the world a an expression of the Absolute and as the overflow of its perfection. He taught that God cannot help creating, and the world is the manifestation of his nature. When I asked how, if the world was a manifestation of the nature of a perfect being, it should be so hateful that the only reasonable aim man can set before him is to liberate himself from its bondage. Shri Ganesha answered that the satisfaction of the world are transitory and that only the Infinite gives enduring happiness. But endless duration makes good no better; nor whites any whiter. If the rose at noon has lost the beauty it had at dawn, the beauty it had then was real. Nothing is the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still foolish not to delight in it while we have it. If change is the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy. We can, none of us, step into the same river twice, but the river flows on and the other river we step into, is cool and refreshing too.” So, we can conclude that the East had charmed and influenced Maugham so much that he returned again and again to the East for the themes of his novels .The Midas touch of Indian philosophy laid its golden hands on Somerset Maugham and influenced him so much that he felt his search for the meaning of life culminates in India. He constantly turned to the East and India to study the “unique man with all his oddities”. He wanted to see ‘the life in the raw’. In India he found answers to all his questions about the existence of the human beings, transmigration of soul etc. For Maugham, the East had become more and more a liberation from all that had been a burden to him.

Nadaism was a Colombian literary movement that developed from 1960 to 1965. It's defined as a countercultural movement and has its roots in the Dadaism and Surrealism. It expressed a protest against the tradicional institutions of society and culture, a protest that is philosofically nihilist.

It was formed mainly by colombian youngs uprising and irreverents that with the motto of "no faith will be left untouched nor any idol in its place" took the lead of the local poetry of those times. Although it happened at the same time than some other manifestations of the latinamerican literature, it's one of the few purely countercultural and fully rooted in the region.

The most outstanding and representative figures of the movement were Gonzalo Arango, writer of "De la Nada al Nadaísmo" and Fanny Buitrago among others.

Transdermal Drug Delivery

A transdermal drug delivery device, which may be of an active or a passive design, is a device which provides an alternative route for administering medication. These devices allow for pharmaceuticals to be delivered across the skin barrier. This approach to drug delivery offers many advantages over traditional methods. As a substitute for the oral route, transdermal drug delivery enables the avoidance of gastrointestinal absorption, with its associated pitfalls of enzymatic and pH associated deactivation. This method also allows for reduced pharmacological dosaging due to the shortened metabolization pathway of the transdermal route versus the gastrointestinal pathway. The patch also permits constant dosing rather than the peaks and valleys in medication level associated with orally administered medications. Multi-day therapy with a single application, rapid notification of medication in the event of emergency, as well as the capacity to terminate drug effects rapidly via patch removal, are all further advantages of this route.

Citation (from Website http://www.mishalov.com/Kelley.html):

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty in the afternoon while serving as commander of River Assault Division 152 during combat operations against enemy aggressor forces. Lt. Comdr. (then Lt.) Kelley was in charge of a column of 8 river assault craft which were extracting 1 company of U.S. Army infantry troops on the east bank of the Ong Muong Canal in Kien Hoa Province, when 1 of the armored troop carriers reported a mechanical failure of a loading ramp. At approximately the same time, Viet Cong forces opened fire from the opposite bank of the canal. After issuing orders for the crippled troop carrier to raise its ramp manually, and for the remaining boats to form a protective cordon around the disabled craft, Lt. Comdr. Kelley realizing the extreme danger to his column and its inability to clear the ambush site until the crippled unit was repaired, boldly maneuvered the monitor in which he was embarked to the exposed side of the protective cordon in direct line with the enemy's fire, and ordered the monitor to commence firing. Suddenly, an enemy rocket scored a direct hit on the coxswain's flat, the shell penetrating the thick armor plate, and the explosion spraying shrapnel in all directions. Sustaining serious head wounds from the blast, which hurled him to the deck of the monitor, Lt. Comdr. Kelley disregarded his severe injuries and attempted to continue directing the other boats. Although unable to move from the deck or to speak clearly into the radio, He succeeded in relaying his commands through 1 of his men until the enemy attack was silenced and the boats were able to move to an area of safety. Lt. Comdr. Kelley's brilliant leadership, bold initiative, and resolute determination served to inspire his men and provide the impetus needed to carry out the mission after he was medically evacuated by helicopter. His extraordinary courage under fire, and his selfless devotion to duty sustain and enhance the finest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.

There is variation in the way that the different stages of reading are described and categorized.

One well known description of the stages is Chall's Stages of Reading Development, summarized here:

Stage 0. Prereading The learner gains familiarity with the language and its sounds. A person in this stage becomes aware of sound similarities between words, learns to predict the next part in a familiar story, and may start to recognize a few familiar words.

Stage 1. Initial Reading, or Decoding Stage The learner becomes aware of the relationship between sounds and letters and begins applying the knowledge to text.

Stage 2. Confirmation, Fluency, Ungluing from Print

Stage 3. Reading for Learning

Stage 4. Multiple Viewpoints

Stage 5. Construction and Reconstruction - A World View

Joe Martin, born Joseph James Alexander Martin, is a British journalist. His work primarily has a focus on popular forms of technology, especially computer games and games systems, but his work has also included art reviews, news and event coverage and interviews. He is currently freelancing but in the past has worked with notable magazines such as PC Format and websites such as TheGameChair.com and the Gamespy network. He has also served as the Games Editor for the, now defunct, website NextGenSpin.com

His writing began at Lancaster University where he studied Linguistics and Creative Writing and where he wrote the first regular computer games articles and was offered his own column in the student paper, SCAN. His writing style is heavily influenced by journalists such as Kieron Gillen and James Carey, the latter of which he has worked with whilst working for PC Format Magazine at Future Publishing.

His writing style is best described as rapid and fluid, with a focus on communicating information accurately but with as much speed and humour as possible. He also enjoys blending slang from many different activities within his articles, such as using surfer slang to describe an RTS game, and using made-up words or conjunctions of existing words to give a sense of brevity to his writing. He is a well known supporter of indie developers and enjoys using the progressive game review template used on websites like The Game Chair.

Outside of his journalism work, Joe is also a published poet and an amateur short story writer. His work and studies have given him chance to brush shoulders with a wide range of established and upcoming young journalists and authors as well as people from other fields, such as the owners of the Rythum And Flow clothing line.

Joe is an amateur survivalist, whose dream is to design his own computer game with industry legend, Warren Spector. His motto is 'Radness For Hire'

A landsmanshaftn (landsmanshaft, landsmanschaftn, or landsmanschaftn) is a Jewish fraternal organization of immigrants from the same town or region. These aid organizations were established to deal with social, economic, and cultural problems, and provided a social framework for mutual assistance. In the early 1900's there were thousands of landsmanshaftn in the New York City are, but few if any are active today.

Andrew Sharkey (Sharkey) is the Scottish Scout Headquarters Commissioner for Explorer Scouts. Previous to this he has been Scottish Scout Headquarters Commissioner for Venture Scouts, and the United Kingdom Contingent Leader to the European Scout Jamboree (2005) when he led a contingent of over 5,000 Young People and Adults. He was also the only non-Thai subcamp Leader at the 20th World Scout Jamboree in Thailand in 20002-2003, having been a Unit Leader to the 18th World Jamboree in Holland (1995) and head of the Scottish members of the International Service Team (IST) at the 19th World Jamoree in Chile (1998-1999).

Andrew has written many articles for Scouting publications and is listed as one of the authors of Unit Essentials, the Explorer Scout and Scout Network Navigator, Unit Programmes and the Young Leaders Essentials publications by the Scout Association. He has also written and devised a range of training materials for Scouting in Scotland, is a subcamp leader at the world famous Blair Atholl International Scout Jamboree and was awarded his Medal of Merit by the Scout Association in May 2004.

He is currently working with the Scout Network in Scotland, helping it to develop and at the same time support the movement in general.

Professionally, Andrew is the Education Manager working on Glow, the Scottish Schools Digital Network, helping to create the largest educational computer intranet in the world, with 1.5 million users.

Andrew leads a team of educational consultants running a national training programme with the ultimate goal of training 53,000 Teachers and support staff to maximise Glow’s use to transform education and remove barriers to learning. He is confident that the techniques and technology behind the Glow project could equally be applied both further inside academia and into the wider world of learning.

Prior to joining RM, Andrew was a member of the Senior Management Team at Whitburn Academy, where he led the school to success in the 2005 National Business Awards for Scotland. His application of integrated technologies to release more time to allow teachers to teach won them the ntl Best Use of Technology Award, becoming the first public sector recipient in the process.

He has a long-standing interest in the use of technology in teaching and learning - the ZX Spectrum computer was introduced to him in the year he started Secondary School, 1982, and whilst he feels we have come a long way since that time, he maintains we have a longer way still to go!
