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.

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.

Jupiter Ray Project

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

....The core of the Jupiter Ray Project includes singer/songwriter Jack Pelletier, singer/songwriter Shannon Ross, and bassist and multi-instrumentalist Chris Breitner. We are also joined from time to time by some of Ottawas most talented musicians, including pedal-steel player Al Bragg, drummers Peter Von Althen, Peter Hammond, Dave Hubenig and Matt Sobb, bassist Kurt Walther of the Angstones and the Jivewires, piano-man Steve Ridgeley, multi-instumentalist Chris Bartos, and many others.

Our live performances aim to be honest and compelling. We often pare the music down to the bare bones, trying to create an atmosphere of shared feeling with the audience. Live music is made up of so many art-forms the instrumentation, the vocalization, the arrangement, the emotion in the moment. We try to get the best out of each moment.

And sometimes we just need to let loose and rock.

We are currently recording a follow-up to our first album, Grassfire....it'll be out soon...summer/fall 06.

our favourite review of 'Grassfire'!: "Taking his cue from Young and Harris, Pelletier, along with fellow Jupiter Ray core member Shannon Ross, creates country-rock music incredibly rich in feeling and lyrical quality..." S. Flood - Ottawa Express

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.

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.

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.

Upminster Hippos FC are a football club based In Upminster, Essex and play there home matches at the Coopers Ground. They currently are not participating in any leagues.

History
The club was formed in 2006 when members of another team in Upminster, Parkfield FC left after the club folded in June that year. The founding members invited players from all over the local area and after a month a squad had been formed. The original idea for the name Upminster Hippos was thought up by their now goalkeeper Robert Cummings. Founding members Tom Henrick and Alfred Joyner thought it was a good name and so Upminster Hippos FC was born. It is a popular misconception that the team are named the Upminster Pink Hippos as they are sometimes called due to the fact that they play in pink. The Upminster Hippos train on Saturday's over Upminster Park. So far this season they have played two matches at their home stadium the Coopers Ground, winning both 2-1 and 4-3 against fierce local rivals Newbury Park Station Rangers. In Novemeber the club announced a multi-million pound deal in which their shirt sponsor for the rest of the 2006-07 season will be Samtek Custom PC's.

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.

摘要

在社會快速發展之下，生活變得緊張忙碌；同時，長時間工作時數以及環境的不變，無形當中將降低辦公室族群員工的生產能力. 因此，辦公室玩具產品設也因而盛行. 然而，許多擺放於辦公室的玩具是以兒童作為設計對象，對於把兒童玩具的設計概念套用於辦公室玩具的設計上是不是當的. 所以，本研究將對辦公室族群的辦公室玩具設計做進一步的了解，並且提供意見作為往後設計師在進行辦公室玩具設計的參考.

關鍵字：辦公室玩具、辦公室、玩具設計

研究動機
台灣曾經是世界第二大出口國，具有「玩具王國」的美譽，其中以委託代工為主[3]. 然而，隨著鄰近國家工資的低廉，低附加價值、勞力密集及低技術的玩具產業紛紛外移. 加上全球近幾年的「少子化現象」使得嬰幼兒的出生率大幅降低，也促使嬰幼兒的人口減少. 對於傳統玩具製造商而言，如何盡快開拓新的玩具消費市場以對應產品的外移以及幼兒人口的減少變為玩具製造商當下重要的議題.

在社會快速發展之下，人的生理與心理往往無法跟上社會變遷的腳步，因而使得生活變得緊張忙碌. 而生活品質的不斷提高，對於產品的要求不再只是基本的使用性便利，對於外觀的造形也漸漸要求其質感的呈現，更重要的，是對產品產生一種啟發與喜悅的感覺. 同時長時間工作時數以及環境的不變，無形當中將降低辦公室族群員工的生產能力. 辦公室玩具的產品設計也因而盛行.

然而，許多擺放於辦公室的玩具並非是以辦公室族群的喜好與功能做設計，那是因為多半的玩具是以兒童作為設計對象. 對於把兒童玩具的設計概念套用於辦公室玩具的設計上是不是當的. 所以，有必要對辦公室族群對於辦公室玩具設計做深入的探討與研究.

文獻探討
（1）辦公室環境 自公元1560年，義大利佛羅倫斯Uffizi宮廷（現為美術館）為第一座有考的「辦公室」，其中，發現到在金字塔組織的辦公室裡，員工多半是苦悶和空虛的[5].

依「CHEERS工作人工作量大調查」的發現，將近3成的受訪者每週工作62小時以上，比政府的法定工時多出20小時，平均每天加班4小時以上. 更有將近1/4的人常常假日加班. 其中，多達75.2％的受訪者覺得自己工作過量[8]. 而每週工作時數大於四十九小時、家中又有需受人照顧的老人或小孩的工作者，則不分男女，都是疲勞的高危險群[9]. 可見已有3成的人達到疲勞高危險群的範圍.

根據9999汎亞人力銀行調查，台灣上班族的憂鬱指數高達70.77分，憂鬱程度相當高，而且女生比男生還憂鬱；其中有2成6的受訪者想「痛扁主管或工作相關的人」，看來職場的情緒問題，有待重視[10]. 最後，"辦公室玩具Office Toys"已經在歐美日先進國家企業裡視為管理員工情緒的一環來看待[11].

（2）玩具 玩具是一個被兒童、成人及寵物把玩的物品，並非只有兒童才能玩[12]. 而玩具起源於民俗文化的自然發展，但隨著玩具生產量產化，逐漸成為一種專業分工、有組織、有計畫的設計活動[3]. 而林盟傑提到，玩具是藝術與文化的表現[2]. 可見玩具本身是一種讓藝術與文化表現的媒介. 廣義的玩具是自由心智的投射，有些玩具可以啟發智慧，而有一些卻以欣賞、蒐集為主要目的[3].

玩具的功能包含實用性、觀賞性以及寓意性；其中在實用性上，玩具有「把玩」、「交流」的社會功能[3]. 而玩具的造形帶有表現社會寓意的訊息[3]. 對於研究人類行為以及社會發展的學者而言，玩具也是為研究的重要角色[2]. 從玩具歷史的研究發現，即使在物資缺乏的環境，日常生活的器具也會被兒童幻想為人形的玩具[2].

在現代社會中，成人工作的壓力很大，他們需要借助某種形式把壓力發洩出來，而玩玩具是一種不錯的放鬆方式[6]. 其中對成人玩具設計，成人喜歡的玩具是設計精巧的，但對於兒童，可以模擬假想而不受現實拘束才是幼兒玩具的特點[4]. 這也間接說明不同年齡對玩具的需求可能有極大的差異.

最後，國內玩具相關研究大多集中在教育或工業發展上；其中，教育研究多以幼兒玩具為主，工業發展以行銷或生產管理為主[2]. 但對於玩具設計研究而言，還是缺乏的.

（3）辦公室玩具 辦公室玩具產業是一種在近幾年來讓世界各國漸漸重視的行業. 辦公室玩具是應市場的需求而產生的[1]. 早期，有人會在辦公室放置盆栽或養魚，但這些動植物必須長期照顧，同時其壽命與生長會受到環境的限制，使得興致減弱. 另外，由於生活品質的不斷提高，人們所追求的產品以超乎實用性與方便性的功能，而講求的是對產品產生啟發與喜悅. 相對的，人們隨著科技的進步而讓生活的腳步加快與緊張，辦公室玩具因此扮演著紓解壓力的功能，既能達到放鬆身心的目的，又不傷眼睛[6].

美國Toy Tips Magazine在一項長達八年的辦公室玩研究，針對三百五十位工作於十人以上公司的員工進行訪談，發現百分之九十五的人認為公司是可以讓高階主管擁有辦公室玩具的. 百分之九十三的人認為辦公室玩具可以提升士氣. 百分之九十一的人被允許於辦公室環境裡創意地使用辦公室玩具. 而百分之八十六的人同意辦公室玩具可以紓解壓力. 有百分之八十二會買辦公室玩具當作是禮物送給同事或職員[7].

辦公室玩具乃為適合擺放於辦公空間裡，裝飾、把玩或擁有其他功能或意義的產品，且此產品不一定與工作有相關性[1]. 它應該是一種刺激而不是分心的產品[7]. 而辦公室玩具的聲音大小應該小於影印機的聲音，體積大小應該小於手皮箱大小，並且因此與同事間得到娛樂效果[7].

而辦公室玩具的主要消費群為20歲至35歲的年輕人，其中以大學生、IT業人士和白領階層居多[6]. 辦公室玩具和兒童玩具不同在於它們大都採用原木或鐵質製造，材質和顏色都較自然化，如Newton’s Cradle 7[6]. 而辦公室玩具的消費對象為擁有固定辦公室座位者[1].

據行家介紹，現有成人玩的玩具主要有智慧型、挑戰型、減壓型、童心型、搞笑型等幾種[6]. 而辦公室玩具則可分為紓解壓力型、刺激腦力型、辦公室派對熱場型、桌上型、旅遊／手皮箱大小放鬆型及退休禮物型 [7]. 可見，成人玩的玩具與辦公室玩具的分類是有所不同的.

以辦公室玩具功能而言，紓解壓力為其最重要，再者為擺飾功能以及工具趣味化[1]. 其中，辦公室玩具的消費族群在基於安全性的考量之下，“造形”、“好玩”與“趣味化”為購買其產品的三大考慮動機[1]. 而辦公室玩具的動力來源的期望，其中以“無須外加能源”比例較高，其次為“太陽能”以及“手動上發條”[1]

研究目的與方法
近幾年來，由於「少子化現象」的發生，導致嬰幼兒人數下滑. 加上鄰近國家的工資低廉，使得玩具產業紛紛外移. 對於傳統玩具製造廠而言，如何盡快開拓新的玩具消費市場以對應產品的外移以及幼兒人口的減少變為玩具製造商當下重要的議題，更需要去近一步關切與探討的範疇. 同時，在社會快速發展之下，使得生活變得緊張忙碌，如何紓解生活或工作上的壓力也便是現今的重要議題之一. 由以上觀點，導致辦公室玩具產品的盛行與設計的必要性.

俗話有云：工欲善其事，必先利其器. 辦公室玩具也就是幫助紓解工作上所遇到的壓力，進而促進工作的流暢，工作的完成. 但許多擺放於辦公室的玩具，是以兒童作為設計對象. 對於把兒童玩具的設計概念套用於辦公室玩具的設計上是不是當的. 因此，本研究旨在對辦公室族群對現有辦公室玩具做初步的了解，藉以協助辦公室玩具設計師對辦公室族群的問題與需求做掌握.

本研究首先針對研究族群範圍之設定，其研究對象設定在有固定辦公室座位，年齡介於二十歲到三十五歲為主. 本訪談受測其間為民國九十五年六月十一日到民國九十五年六月十六日，共訪談十五位擁有三個以上辦公室玩具者.

本研究主要目的在了解辦公室族群對現有辦公室玩具的問題與需求. 由於本研究屬於探索性研究，故以訪談法（interview）與觀察法（observation）做為資料收集的方法. 而訪談法將以半結構式的方式，訪談受測者對現有辦公室玩具的想法與看法. 觀察法是為了了解辦公室玩具特徵與擺放位子.

其中訪談內容分四大部分： （1） 了解使用者的現有辦公室玩具來源. （2） 了解使用者擺放現有辦公室玩具的所在. （3） 了解使用者對現有辦公室玩具的偏好. （4） 了解使用者對現有辦公室玩具的問題.

結果
資料經過分析及整理之後有以下研究結果：

（1） 了解使用者的現有辦公室玩具來源. a. 對於使用者的現有辦公室玩具來源，自己購買辦公室玩具的比例比別人送的比率高. 可見辦公室玩具當禮品的比例並不高，而以個人私人用為主. b. 辦公室玩具單價價錢以不超過一千元為原則. c. 購買時間間距的長短與空閒次數的多寡成反比. 舉裡來說，有空的話，一個禮拜到兩個禮拜就會買一次. 沒空的話，到半年買一次都有.

（2） 了解使用者擺放現有辦公室玩具的所在. a. 大部分的人會將辦公室玩具擺在看得見、離自己比較近的地方. b. 其中以桌子為主，其次以書櫃、書架及分隔牆上等.

（3） 了解使用者對現有辦公室玩具的偏好. a. 假如喜愛的辦公室玩具為一組時，數量以五到七個為宜. b. 訪談者會希望全部收集，但會考量價錢. c. 辦公室玩具以自己玩的為主，可以跟別人玩的為輔. d. 在把玩辦公室玩具的時間而言，以二到十分鐘為主. e. 從遍好面來看，喜歡的辦公室玩具特性以可組裝，多樣化，成套，可做變化，工具趣味化，簡單機構，有特色，創意性高，個人化等. f. 現有辦公室玩具帶給使用者最大的益處有解壓，賞心悅目，活化環境，轉移注意力，生活不無聊，展示個人特色. g. 使用者最喜歡的辦公室玩具原因有造形簡單，動作簡單，不用裝電池，不用花腦筋，手動，獨特性，流行性.

（4） 了解使用者對現有辦公室玩具的問題. a. 使用者對辦公室玩具的問題有每隔一段時間會更新、舊的不知該如何處置. b. 喜新厭舊的矛盾新情. c. 小物件不好擺放，容易掉落. d. 會有浪費錢的感覺. e. 功能性低.

結論與建議
本研究對於辦公室玩具設計做以下彙總： （一）使用者的現有辦公室玩具來源以自己購買為主，且價錢以不超過一千元為原則. （二）購買時間的間距較為不定. 購買時間間距的長短與空閒次數的多寡成反比. （三）辦公室玩具擺放的位子以看得見、離自己比較近的地方，其中以桌子為主，其次以書櫃、書架及分隔牆上等. （四）把玩辦公室玩具的時間，基本上是不會花太多時間在把玩. （五）辦公室玩具為一組時，數量以五到七個為宜. （六）使用者最喜歡的辦公室玩具原因主要有造形及動作的簡單、不用裝電池，及獨特性. （七）使用者對辦公室玩具的問題有小物件擺放不便，淘汰的處理及功能性低.

就本文研究結果可提出以下建議： （一）對設計師而言，必須先對辦公室族群身心發展的學理基礎進行了解，並以此為依據進行設計，本研究後續可針對辦公室族群身心發展學理基礎轉換為設計要素，以供設計師參考. （二）消費者暜遍注重辦公室玩具的造形， 故設計師應針對辦公室族群進行辦公室玩具造形性的分類，並且尋找何種類型的辦公室玩具造形較為消費者所喜愛，以供未來設計師設計辦公室玩具的參考. （三）本研究後續可針對辦公室玩具功能性普遍偏低的問題，進行提高產品功能的設計方法資料收集分析，且具體歸納出提高產品功能的設計模式並應用於玩具設計上.

綜合上述三點，往後的發展在於如何將辦公室族群對於辦公室玩具造型與功能的配合做偏好分析. 藉由相關文件之探討及預備調查，歸納出成果，助於未來辦公室玩具之設計條件發展，以達到更完善，更適合辦公室族群的辦公室玩具產品.

For over a century, a non-profit movement called "Big Brothers Big Sisters" has helped children reach their potential through professionally supported one-to-one relationships with volunteer adults. The organization develops positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people. Big Brothers and Big Sisters are volunteers who mentor children, ages 6 through 18.

The movement began in 1904, when a young New York City court clerk named Ernest Coulter was seeing more and more boys come through his courtroom. He recognized that caring adults could help many of these kids stay out of trouble, and he set out to find volunteers. That marked the beginning of the Big Brothers movement. By 1916, Big Brothers had spread to 96 cities across the United States.

At around the same time, the members of a group called Ladies of Charity were befriending girls who had come through the New York Children’s Court. That group would later become Catholic Big Sisters.

In 1913, similar events takes place in Canada and the first Canadian Big Brother program begins in Toronto. Closely afterwards, in 1914, the first Canadian Big Sister agency forms in Toronto.

Both groups continued to work independently until 1977, when Big Brothers of America and Big Sisters International (in America) join forces and become Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Later in 2001 a similar merger occurs between the two Canadian organizations and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada is formed. Interest grows from outside North America, spurring the formation of Big Brothers Big Sisters International to help other countries get started and facilitate communications between countries running similar programs.

More than a century later, Big Brothers Big Sisters remains true to the founders’ vision of bringing caring mentors into the lives of children. Big Brothers Big Sisters currently operates in all 50 U.S. states, in 11 Canadian Provinces, and in 35 countries around the world!

More Than 100 Years of Big Brothers Big Sisters

Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Canada

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada provides mentoring programs to more than 1000 Canadian communities, through over 150 local agencies. Founded on one-to-one matching, men and women (age 18 or older) give of their time to become a mentor to a youngster who can greatly benefit from having an adult role model to look up to.

Times change. Volunteers change. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada has also changed. In response to the different needs and demands of children, youth, and volunteers alike, new programs have been established to fit the changing society. Couples for Kids, Cross Gender Matching, Internet Mentoring, In-School Mentoring, Big Bunch and Kids 'n' Kops group programs (for kids waiting for a one-to-one match), and new Life Skills Programs all provide a variety of opportunities for volunteering and support to children and youth.

For over 80 years, the Big Brothers Big Sisters program has made a difference in the lives of Canadian young people by providing a friend where one is needed.

Big Brothers and Big Sisters Internationally

Building on the century-long history and expertise of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, Big Brothers Big Sisters International was founded in 1998. BBBS International's mission is to promote and support the development of Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs throughout the world, operating independently in various countries, and to help them build service capacity and create sustainability. This is done by providing consultation, technical assistance, training and materials for NGOs wanting to develop this proven mentoring model. BBBS International sets standards and shares best practices for effective and sustainable implementation of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

Big Brothers Big Sisters International headquarters is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

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.

The Great Moderation is an macroeconomic phenomenon that has been discovered in the late 20th Century regarding a change or a break in the volatility (Standard Deviation) of the United States Gross Domestic Product. Researchers and Authors in the fields of Marcoeconomics, Econometrics, as well as Finance began sprinting to the finish line for a story to explain this change in Marcoeconomic Volatility. This subject was first noted by McConnell and and Perez-Quiros in 1999 the authors showed a break in revised data of US GDP in the First quarter of 1984 (1984.1) the reduction in volatility is assumed to be near .50 of US GDP growth. By 2000 Kim and Nelson redevoloped a Bayesian approach which proved that the reduction in the US Output Volatility was infact a break. Blanchard and Simon (1999) disagreed in their writng point out that their research shows a smoothing decline. Friedman responded in "comments" of the brookings papers that a smoothing decline came as a result of smoothing calculations. Perhaps one great contribution to answering this phenomenon and establishing its creditablity as a significant contribution to Macroeconomic study, is that of Stock and Watson (2002) and (2003). the authors pointed out that the decline in US GDP volatility was not the only occurance in 1984:1. Infact, there are more that 190 Macroeconomic indicators that "broke" or witnessed a severe reduction in volatility during that quarter. The authors answers to this new evidence is simply part of their title, "good luck" Monetary Policy, on the other hand became a big thme in explaining this reduction of Volatility. The Volcker Disinflation Era, might be one that is credited with the GDP volatility change. However, much research is needed to prove this relationship and to also prove the significance of the first quarter of 1984 as the magic date in volatility of GDP. Lastly, Regulation Q which was establish in 1960s by the US government toward financial intermediaries has been examined by many authors (Dynan et al 2000?). Questions and assumptions these authors raised were heavily critiqued however, by Jessica Watcher who in turn proposed more options for research and verification. No matter what the reason may be behing the change of volatility in GDP, it is important to note that the research is not for historical curiousity rather as a tool to anticipate how GDP volatility can be managed in the future and if it is only a matter of good luck now, how policy makers can be prepared for a time when volatility in GDP returns.

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.

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.

Trophic cascade theory
<div class="boilerplate metadata vfd" style="background-color: ; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;">

Trophic cascade theory holds that each trophic level of a food web is inversely and directly related to trophic levels above and below it. For example, if the abundance of large piscivorous fish is increased in a lake, the abundance of their prey zooplanktivorous fish should decrease, large herbivorous zooplankton abundance should increase, and phytoplankton biomass should decrease. This theory has stimulated new research in many areas of ecology. Trophic cascade theory was generated from empirical observations that piscivorous fish can dramatically reduce populations of zooplanktivorous fish, zooplanktivorous fish can dramatically alter freshwater zooplankton communities, and zooplankton grazing can in turn have large impacts on phytoplankton communities
