Lyrics

 * Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot
 * Prête-moi ta plume pour écrire un mot
 * Ma chandelle est morte, je n'ai plus de feu
 * Ouvre-moi ta porte, pour l'amour de Dieu


 * Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit
 * Je n'ai pas de plume, je suis dans mon lit
 * Va chez la voisine, je crois qu'elle y est
 * Car dans sa cuisine, on bat le briquet

English Translation


 * In the light of the moon, my friend Pierrot,
 * Lend me your pen to write a note.
 * My candle is dead, I haven't any fire.
 * Open your door, for the love of God.


 * In the light of the moon, Pierrot said,
 * I haven't a pen, I'm in my bed.
 * Go to the neighbor girl, I think she's there,
 * Since in her kitchen, someone's lighting a fire.

Her husband/cop, too busy trying to catch a serial rapist, doesn't realize his wife is drifting away. The film starts with a Dante Alighieri's quote: "Midway upon the journey of my life I found myself in a dark wood, where the right way was lost." FRAGILE is starring award-winning actress Sheree J. Wilson ("Dallas","Walker, Texas Ranger"), Brett Kolste-Miller (former NFL player) and Alexi Yulish ("Inland Empire" David Lynch).

why the passion for multicultural Australia?

"You miss 100% of the opportunities you never take."

Australia has one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the world with more than 8 million Australians identifying with a multicultural background. As revealed in the 2002 SBS Report 'LIVING DIVERSITY: Australia"s Multicultural Future', we live in "a dynamic, evolving society where diversity is embraced as the new cultural mainstream of Australia."

Reaching multicultural communities requires a new way of thinking, as well as an openness to learning the cultural nuances that make each one unique.

This represents a paradigm shift from the current 'one size fits all' strategy of mainstream marketing. This approach increasingly fails to create meaningful connections with Australian consumers.

Multicultural marketing, both metaphorically and practically, is the new way to speak the language of your target market. Utilising multicultural media and below-the-line opportunities is the best way to communicate in the right place, at the right time.

Many companies are being pleasantly surprised to find multicultural campaigns outperforming their more traditional approaches when it comes to cost effectiveness and ROI.

The Multicultural market facts and figures 200 nationalities speak over 150 languages in Australia 20% of the population, approximately 3.1 million Australians, speak a Language Other Than English (LOTE) at home 43% of the population were born overseas or have one parent born overseas, over 8 million consumers in the domestic market (DIMIA 2005) 23% or 4.5 million Australians were born overseas (More than the combined population of SA, WA, TAS and ACT) Over 29% of Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are owned by Australians with a Non-English Speaking Background (NESB). Education is Australia's third largest export with over 344,000 international students currently residing in Australia. They contributed $5.62 billion to the Australian economy in 2003-2004. Over 140,000 new migrants settled in Australia in 2005-2006. This continues to increase with 160,000 new migrants due to settle in Australia in 2007-2008.

Diverse audiences require diverse marketing. Communities are not only diverse in language, culture and religion, but also in levels of literacy, business ownership, employment, use of media and dependency on friends and community leaders for information.

Multiculturl marketing agency's methodology and strategy for campaigns is to meet this diversity with a flexible and strategic approach to communication. Whether adapting a mainstream campaign to meet the sensitivities of the ethnic market, or tailoring a new campaign to a specific community, Multiculturl marketing agency offer above and below-the-line expertise that is culturally and linguistically relevant. The strategies are recommend meet both client and community needs.

An evolutionary improvement on the PRML design has been developed over the last few years. Called extended partial response, maximum likelihood, extended PRML or just EPRML, this advance was the result of engineers tweaking the basic PRML design to improve its performance. EPRML devices work in a similar way to PRML ones: they are still based on analyzing the analog data stream coming form the read/write head to determine the correct data sequence. They just use better algorithms and signal-processing circuits to enable them to more effectively and accurately interpret the information coming from the disk.

The chief benefit of using EPRML is that due to its higher performance, areal density (or more correctly, the linear component of areal density) can be increased without increasing the error rate. Claims regarding this increase range from around 20% to as much as 70%, compared to "regular" PRML. Those numbers represent a fairly significant improvement.

EPRML has now been widely adopted in the hard disk industry and is replacing PRML on new drives.

Block, which was set up in Nantes in 2000, comes across as a group with its sights determinedly set an experimentation. This said, they had already worked together on many projects since their thoroughly illegal occupation of a Second World War bunker in 1996 -- Blockhaus DYI0. Their praxis is intentionally cross-disciplinary, involving sound recycling, installations, performances and architectural projects. The overall dynamic underpinning their line of thinking veers towards the notion of shift and displacement, and the decon-textualization of one or more ingredients of the real, duly turning into a project and indexed forms. Block was a Nouveaux Albums de la Jeune Architecture 2002 award-winner.

Now, the band is deep in the writing and recording process of their first studio album.

History
Corbansick was created in July 2003, in Sarajevo by to friends, who have been playing together since 1999. Feđa Šehić played guitar while Goran Valka played keyboards and wrote lyrics, all of which were in English. Soon after the decision to gather a band, Igor Benić, vocal, joins the band and with him bringing new blood and fresh feeling. A bit later, band gets two new members, Haris Kurspahić, bass, and Stefan Pejović, drums who really define the music they're playing. After long brainstorming, it's decided that the new formed band shall be called «Corbansick», a fusion of words Core, Band and Sick. Gigs all over the country soon follow, where «Corbansick» start to attract fans from whole BiH territory. Soon after that, two demos are recorded, «Broken» and «Pissed Off», to present themselves to the wider audience. The songs find their way to the radio stations and various compilations. Apart from many gigs in the throughout the country, the band is invited by the «Upgrade» festival in Germany to play along with 20 bands where they receive a positive critics and are described as a «young and upcoming band with a bright future ahead» by the German MTV. Their combination of diverse music genres contributes to the originality of their style. «Corbansick» has a unique sound and style, today widely known as «Rapcore» (Hardcore and Rap), through heavy Hardcore riffs and Funky bass line. They combine rap and shout vocals with old school rhythms and samples, with ambiental and psychedelic keyboard admixture. At the end of last September, 3 band members decided to leave the band. Soon after that 3 new members joined the band and the band started making a new music completely.

The Mozambique Institute was established by the first President of Frelimo, Eduardo Mondlane and his wife Janet in 1963 with the assistance of a grant from the Ford Foundation. The institute was dedicated to providing education for Mozambique refugees in Tanzania and had several locations throughout the country.

The institute closed briefly in 1968 following student unrest against FRELIMO doctrine but then reopened in 1970 until its termination 1976 following independence.

James George Thurman (March 15, 1935 - April 14, 2007), an american writer, actor, photographer, director, and producer. He is best known for the writings of TV gags for the likes of Bob Hope, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett, Bill Cosby, and Dean Martin.

Career
Born in Dallas, Texas, but raised in Vicksburg, Michigan, and graduated the University of Michigan. Thurman began his career as a copywriter at various advertising agencies in New York. Then later moved to Los Angeles with his writing partners Gene Moss, and brother Dave Thurman, he formed his own boutique advertising agency, Creative Advertising Stuff. He also worked as a photographer, with work displayed at the 1964 World's Fair, and contributed cartoons to Playboy and New Yorker. One year later, Moss and Thurman brothers had scripted all 156 installments of the 1965 cartoon series Roger Ramjet as well as the puppet comedy series Shrimpenstein, where Thurman voiced the title character for satirical children's television program.

Thurman then later played Dunce sidekick to Digby Dropout, in "The Man from Alphabet in 1969." Thurman scripted both street/Muppet scenes on Sesame Street, working in both capacities, and many animated sketches, for the later, beginning with the show's debut in 1969 until 2007.

In both 1973 Thurman did a voice of, Christopher Clumsy, for various Cliff Roberts characters, and Jake the Snake. In 1982 Thurman had team up with Paul Fierlinger to create, write, voice of Teeny Little Super Guy for Sesame Street. He also wrote sketches for Jim Henson's "The Muppet Show", from 1976 until 1981. Thurman subsequently worked on most of CTW's other series, as a staff writer and cartoon voiceover on The Electric Company and 3-2-1 Contact, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, and as head writer/producer for Square One TV; on the later series, he provided the voice of Mr. Glitch and scripted the "Mathnet" segments, as well as "Dirk Niblick of the Math Brigade," and the later Math Talk package.

Thurman helped kids have fun with math as co-creator, with the late Dave Connell, as senior producer. Thurman also wrote the The Muppet Movie and Muppet Babies. In recent years Jim continued to write, do voice work and wrote a weekly column for his local paper. Thurman also wrote and voiced several animated sexual education specials for Buzzco Associates, Inc. In 2006, he wrote wrapararound material and voiced Bob for the Old School Volume 1 DVD. Thurman is survived by his wife, Patricia; two sons; a daughter; four grandchildren; and a sister.

Gas Diffusion Sterilization
{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; border: 0px; margin-top: 0.2em;" ! |  Archived discussion follows below. Please do not modify it. <div class="boilerplate metadata afc" style="background-color: ; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;">

In recent years, in large part because of stringent new environmental regulations, the use of ethylene oxide (EtO) to sterilize medical devices has become increasingly complicated and expensive. As a result, many device manufacturers have closed their in-house sterilization operations and shifted to contract EtO sterilizers. Those who have retained in-house operations have had to surmount many regulatory hurdles.

However, by adopting gas-diffusion technology, a fundamentally different approach to in-house EtO sterilization, some manufacturers have been able to comply more economically with regulatory requirements. Compared to sterilization by means of a large vacuum/pressure vessel, this technology more effectively controls emissions and reduces gas use.

Like traditional EtO systems, gas-diffusion systems can be validated in accordance with AAMI/ ANSI/ISO 11135, the industrial EtO standard.1 Although the language of ISO 11135 refers only to traditional chamber sterilizers, the principles of process validation it describes can be applied to gas-diffusion technology by analogy.

The gas-diffusion system injects EtO directly into the product packaging to eliminate the need for an industrial vessel.

SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS

There are two gas-diffusion systems currently available, both manufactured solely by H.W. Andersen Products, Inc. One, the Sterijet system, is designed for large-scale production; the other, the EOGas system, is best suited for health-care and small-batch manufacturing.

The Sterijet processor combines a package sealer with an EtO-injection machine. Both the injection system and the sealer mechanism are validated to deliver an ethylene oxide shot and package seal of consistent and known parameters. The processor can be located near the device manufacturing area and operated continuously, sterilizing product as it comes out of final assembly.

Products to be sterilized must first either be packaged in a breathable sterile barrier package or simply wrapped in a permeable material. The size of the process lot is not determined by the volume of a chamber, as it would be in an industrial vessel. With a gas-diffusion system, the manufacturer can either wait to build standard size product lots, sterilize individual devices or small batches, or process continuously. The steel vacuum/pressure vessel is replaced by a plastic bag, typically of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film. The bag, by analogy, represents the chamber as defined in ISO 11135.



Forced preconditioning of the products through storage in heated rooms under conditions of high humidity is unnecessary with gas-diffusion technology. Facilities need only keep workspace humidity and temperature above 40% and 70°F to allow continuous processing of the products as they leave the assembly line. Workspace temperature and humidity control can be achieved through a combination of steam injection, when necessary, and HVAC treatment.

In contrast to the natural prehumidification described above, product sterilized inside vacuum/pressure vessels is usually preconditioned at extreme conditions that differ markedly from those of the manufacturing environment. The potential danger is that secondary packaging can absorb elevated quantities of humidity during such preconditioning, and later during chamber steam injection, to the point that the moisture actually interferes with the final sterility assurance level (SAL) achieved by the cycle.2 Since gas-diffusion sterilization can be integrated into the manufacturing environment, the products can be continuously processed at the same conditions under which they were manufactured, thus avoiding climatic variations that cause condensation on product and packaging.

The sterilization process begins with placement of the finished product inside the LDPE bag. One LDPE bag can contain a single product, such as a large custom surgical kit, or small multiple units, such as sutures. Multipacks can be double wrapped, with each product individually sealed into its own primary packaging. The quality of the packaging is strictly controlled to ensure consistent gas permeation characteristics. The size of the LDPE bag is tailored to the physical characteristics of the product to be sterilized (Figure 1).

The mouth of the LDPE bag is placed onto the injector processor between the jaws of the processor. After the jaws close, the processor removes the excess air from the LDPE bag. The processor then injects a preprogrammed amount, or gas shot, of vaporized EtO. The nozzle then automatically withdraws and the LDPE bag is heat sealed. The size of each gas shot is measured by a mass flowmeter and verified by recording the critical operating parameters of gas pressure, temperature, and inject time. The time, processing sequence number, and EtO mass of each gas shot is recorded on a printed label that is used to track individual packages.

As they are filled, evacuated, and injected with sterilant, the bags are transferred to a temperature-controlled room with engineered ventilation. The sealed bags contain only air trapped within the product and packaging, so that the contents are not flammable. Moreover, each bag contains very little EtO gas, typically less than 10 g. At this point, the hot cell fulfills the function of the traditional sterilizer chamber by providing heat for both the diffusion and sterilization process. Through forced ventilation, the hot cell eliminates the EtO as it elutes from the LDPE bag. As aeration progresses and EtO diffuses out of the package, the LDPE bag begins to exhibit a skintight, vacuum-packed appearance as it shrinks around the inner sterile product (Figure 1). The vacuum-tight package not only offers more protection against damage due to shifting during shipment, but also offers the user a visual assurance of package integrity. Loose fit of the LDPE bag after processing would indicate that the package seal had been violated.

THE GAS-DIFFUSION PROCESS

The transmission of EtO across a permeable membrane depends upon several factors, including the following:

The temperature of the gas and of the barrier.

The type, thickness, composition, and crystallinity of the barrier.

The area exposed to the transmission.

The concentration gradient that exists across the barrier.

The pressure gradient across the barrier.3 When EtO gas is injected between the inside of the LDPE bag and the outside of the porous packaging containing the product, it gradually diffuses through the porous membrane and contacts all accessible surfaces of the product. Two important physical forces drive the sterilant across the packaging and allow the process gases to contact the product's bioburden. The first is the slight pressure gradient created by the gas injection. The second and most important factor is the concentration gradient across the barrier.

In the open sterilizer bag, the inside pressure is the same as the atmospheric pressure of the workplace. When excess air is removed by the Sterijet processor, the effective pressure inside the bag is lowered. The injection of EtO into the LDPE bag introduces a pressure gradient across the sterile barrier package, thus driving EtO toward the product. This is analogous to the chamber dynamics of an industrial vacuum/pressure vessel. As the chamber headspace is evacuated, air is drawn out of each individual product package. A negative pressure equilibrium between individual product and the headspace follows. When the vaporized EtO is added, the chamber headspace pressure is greater than that of each product. This pressure gradient drives the gas into the product.

During the sterilization phase of the cycle, the hot cells are precisely maintained at a temperature validated to deliver a 10­6 SAL at the worst-case location within the product package. Since the permeability of the LDPE bag is far lower than the permeability of the inner product packaging, initial gas loss to the hot cell is insignificant and predictable, while the immediate tendency of the gas is to diffuse inward across the packaging layer, contacting the product.

During the aeration phase of the cycle, the concentration of EtO in the LDPE bag decreases, and the primary direction of gas diffusion reverses. The concentration gradient now favors diffusion out of the bag into the hot cell environment. The hot cell, first responsible for aiding the inward diffusion of the gas and promoting the chemical inactivation of product bioburden, now causes outward diffusion. Because of ventilation, the hot cell EtO concentration is near zero, thus aiding diffusion of the gas from the product and through the walls of the LDPE bag. This is analogous to the heat supplied by the wall jackets of an industrial vacuum/pressure vessel. Initially the heat serves to increase gas diffusion across the multiple layers of packaging and to promote uniform chemical reaction on the products. Later it helps drive the gas back out of all layers of packaging, where it can be evacuated to the emission control system.

GAS PERMEATION CONSIDERATIONS

Those who have had the chance to follow an entire EtO process validation for an industrial vessel will have noticed that as the size of the product load increases, the sterilization process becomes less efficient. To compensate, the following cycle parameters must be boosted:

Load heat-up time.

Humidity addition.

Humidity penetration time.

EtO addition.

EtO penetration time.

Sterilant dwell time. The gas sterilization process loses efficiency as product lot size increases not because the vessel hardware is insufficient, but as a result of the progressive increase in package interference and load density. By way of comparison, product sterilized in a biological indicator evaluation resistometer (BIER vessel) is handled singly, and has only one layer of protective barrier separating the product from the critical process elements (temperature, humidity, and EtO concentration). In a hospital-size vessel, we see a comparative increase in package-related interference. In an industrial vessel, where several more layers of packaging are added (master cartons and shelf cartons, for example), the minimum sterilant concentration that is required increases still more.

Users of industrial-size vessels are forced to compensate for process interference caused by load characteristics by using levels of humidification and concentrations of EtO greatly in excess of those actually needed at the microbial site. While Kaye and Phillips determined that moisture levels of 20­40% would allow EtO to inactivate spore samples,4 these levels are rarely employed by the sterilization industry. The original Kaye and Phillips experiment was performed directly on the microbial site and did not include multiple layers of packaging to hinder gas permeation. Even in so-called low-concentration industrial cycles, excess moisture and EtO are needed to fill the empty space around each pallet and between products. When an industrial vacuum/pressure vessel is used, external preconditioning ranging from 12 to 24 hours is commonly carried out to bring the load to a uniform temperature and humidity level. Subsequently, a series of multiple vacuum cycles and nitrogen washes are needed to displace oxygen from the load. Only then is steam injected into the vessel and the load allowed to condition. A modern, industrial-size vessel typically injects steam into the headspace until a relative humidity of 50­80% is achieved. Additional steam is used to maintain the high level of humidity throughout conditioning dwell. The same holds true for EtO concentration. While a BIER vessel may inactivate spores with a sterilant concentration of 350 mg/L, industrial vessels use 600­1000 mg/L, injecting 5­10 lb of EtO per pallet of product. Thus process obstruction caused by packaging and load density never allows an industrial-size vessel to achieve the performance of a BIER vessel.

The dynamics of EtO sterilization can be explained by reference to Fick's first law of diffusion, J = ­D dc/dx, where the rate of diffusion (J) is directly proportional to the concentration gradient. In this equation, D is the diffusion coefficient and dc/dx is the gradient concentration in the direction of diffusion.5

In the sterilization system, the rate of diffusion toward the microbial sites increases as the gas concentration in the sterilizer is raised. Stated differently, as the resistance of the system to diffusion increases, the gas concentration must be increased to achieve the same rate of penetration.

Absorption of EtO and moisture by packaging results in depletion of the headspace levels, thus contributing to the inefficiency of permeation dynamics in an industrial EtO chamber. Each level of porous corrugated packaging and paper is capable of absorbing up to 10% EtO w/w (100,000 mg/L on a weight/volume basis).6 As the gas permeates the first level of cardboard master cartons, the amount remaining that can continue permeating across the second layer of shelf cartons is already significantly reduced. The slowest permeation rate, therefore, will occur where penetration is most critical: at the primary packaging level. Unless a sufficient quantity of moisture and EtO contacts the product, the proper SAL will not be achieved. For a system where the product is separated from the sterilizer headspace gases by three layers of packaging, the overall permeation time can be represented by the sum of the individual permeation times for each layer (the value of k may vary from 2 to 6, L is the packaging layer thickness in centimeters, and D the diffusion coefficient in square centimeters per minute):6

Total Permeation Time = k L2/D(3)+ k L2/D(2)+ k L2/D(1)

The gas-diffusion method largely circumvents the problem of permeation obstruction by delivering precisely metered doses of both moisture and EtO right to the primary packaging--mere centimeters from the microbial site. In a sterilizer bag, the permeation time of EtO depends on only one layer of porous packaging; consequently, the gas absorption and depletion by multiple layers of corrugated packaging is avoided. In designing a gas diffusion validation, the user must consider only two sources of resistance to the process: product bioburden and one layer of porous packaging. The permeation time is much more efficient as represented by:

Total Gas Diffusion Permeation Time = k L2/D

By avoiding the dramatic overgassing that takes place inside an industrial chamber, gas-diffusion technology cuts the time and energy required to aerate the final product to FDA-mandated EtO residual levels and reduces the demand on the facility's emission control system.7 We estimate that devices sterilized with the system use 30 to 80% less EtO than industrial vacuum/pressure vessels achieving the same SAL.

PROCESS VALIDATION OF A GAS-DIFFUSION SYSTEM

Validation of the Sterijet system has been carried out according to a protocol based on ISO 11135. Following the installation and operational qualifications, a series of fractional cycles were performed to verify the relative humidity (RH), EtO concentration, and sterilization phase temperature required to deliver the needed degree of lethality at the most resistant location in a specific product. For each product family, at least two fractional cycles were performed, one at minimum, one at maximum sterilization temperature. In this way a temperature window was determined within which the required level of delivered lethality could be ensured. Preconditioning parameters and injected EtO weight were validated at below the minimum specification. Minimum workplace environmental conditions were simulated by preconditioning the product at 35­39% RH and at a temperature below 65ºF. Temperature of the product load was monitored throughout the preconditioning, gas injection, sterilization, and aeration. Product humidity was monitored through preconditioning up until gas injection. Temperature and humidity probes were placed within the product as close to the worst-case biological indicator (BI) site as possible. The processor was then programmed and calibrated to inject a mass of EtO below the minimum level routinely used in production. Because the sterilization bag material has a very low permeability to water vapor, the absolute amount of water sealed in the product package is assumed to remain constant during sterilization. Sterilization of the BIs under worst-case processing conditions confirms that the humidification of the load is adequate to achieve the intended SAL.

For validation purposes, the products sterilized were divided into several product families. We will examine here in greater detail the validation testing carried out for the product family represented by a wound drain consisting of a double-lumen PVC tube about 17 in. long. Product characteristics that might impede EtO penetration include an antimicrobial filter on the vent lumen. The tube is double wrapped, first within a polyethylene primary package, then into a polyethylene peel-open pouch. Ten individually packed tubes constitute the multipack that is sterilized as a unit in the LDPE bag.

To carry out the fractionals, 30 multipacks of 10 tubes each were inoculated with BI spore strips or disks with certified B. subtilis var. niger populations of at least 1.0 * 106 and resistance of 3­4 minutes. The tube located at the worst-case location within the multipack (the center) was inoculated with three BIs. Two BIs were placed at positions within the product where diffusion of EtO would theoretically be restricted (within the aspiration lumen and under the filter assembly). The third was to function as a reference and was placed within the primary packaging, adjacent to the tube. Additional multipacks were probed for measurement of temperature and RH during preconditioning and temperature during the sterilization phase.

Each of the multipacks was then injected with a preprogrammed mass of vaporized EtO and placed into the hot cell. Multipacks were removed from the hot cell at eight graded time periods between 0 and 12 hours. The BIs were aseptically removed, macerated, and cultured for enumeration of survivors. The log10 of the survivors was plotted against time to yield an inactivation curve for the three test sites, and regression analysis was used to determine the decimal reduction time (D-value) for each curve.8 The D-value curves revealed a classical pattern of microbial inactivation: the interior of the single product package is more resistant than the exterior and the least accessible location within the product (BI in the aspiration lumen) is the most resistant location of the three tested. At the minimum sterilization temperature (82ºF), D-values of 1.46, 1.10, and 0.67 hours were obtained for the lumen of catheter, the filter assembly, and the primary package, respectively. The fractional study carried out at the higher temperature revealed an approximately 30% reduction of the D-values for each of the three sites. The reduction in D-value is predicted by Q10 and again demonstrates that established patterns of sterilization kinetics are observed in the sterilization system.9

In addition to the BI and temperature/RH sensor test packs, three product multipacks were probed for EtO concentration analysis. The three product multipacks were each equipped with three capillary tubes leading to sampling ports outside the LDPE bag. One of the sampling tubes was located at the worst-case location within the aspiration lumen. The second was positioned to sample gas within the primary package, and the third was located within the LDPE bag (Figure 2). The sampling tubes were led to the outside of the hot cell, so that sampling could be accomplished without opening the door. (While this approach to probing gas concentration would be impractical in an industrial vessel, it is a relatively simple procedure in a gas-diffusion system).

After clearing the gas chromatograph syringe to equalize the gas concentration within the package with the sampling tubes, gas samples were withdrawn from the multipack via a syringe and analyzed on a gas chromatograph (GC). The EtO concentration within the product package was measured at 1- and, later, 2-hour intervals over the course of 24 hours. In this way, EtO diffusion kinetics were mapped for the three sites over the standard (24-hour) full cycle time. Like the BI inactivation curves, the GC mapping studies revealed the expected relationship between product, packaging layers, and EtO concentration. The GC curves demonstrate that EtO diffuses from the LDPE bag through the packaging to reach the most restrictive sites of the product. The relationship between the EtO concentration and lethality delivered at the worst-case site within the product is further elucidated by graphing the corresponding GC curve together with BI inactivation data (Figure 3).

This graph shows 10 degrees of lethality correlated simultaneously to both product level gas concentration and time at a constant process temperature. During the first 5 hours after EtO is injected into the LDPE bag, the gas concentration is increasing and the lethality curve is nonlinear as the system pushes to achieve a concentration equilibrium across all layers of inner packaging. Once EtO has penetrated into each product package and a diffusion equilibrium across the packaging is achieved at approximately 450­500 mg/L, the linearity of the curve becomes evident. Inactivation of the BI at about 10 hours indicates delivery of an initial six logs of lethality and completion of the theoretical sterilization half-cycle. Maintenance of the EtO concentration level around 450­500 mg/L for hours 10­20 confirms that an adequate amount of EtO is present during the second half-cycle to deliver an additional six logs of lethality.

To verify that BI inactivation was achieved at the end of the first half-cycle, a series of three half-cycle runs were subsequently completed. Product was preconditioned at subminimum conditions and 28 product packages were prepared, each with a BI placed in the worst-case location identified through fractional testing. (As per ISO 11135, section B4, the number of BIs used for fractional testing is based on sterilizer volume.) Additional multipacks were probed for measurement of temperature and RH during preconditioning and of temperature during the sterilization phase. Each of the product multipacks was injected with a subminimum mass of EtO and then held in a hot cell at subminimum temperature for the half-cycle time. (The half-cycle time was calculated from the D-value at the worst-case location to give a six-log reduction plus a safety factor of two D-values.) At the conclusion of the half-cycle, the BIs were removed from the product multipacks and aseptically transferred to media for culturing. For successful completion of the half-cycle test, no positives were permitted at seven days' incubation for any of the three consecutive half-cycles.

To complete the suite of validation tests, three full cycles were performed for EtO, ethylene glycol (EG), and ethylene chlorohydrin (EC) residual determination and product functionality testing. During this phase, preconditioning was pushed to its maximum limits for temperature and relative humidity and the Sterijet processor was programmed to inject a quantity of EtO in excess of the maximum parameter. Following the sterilization phase, samples to be tested for residuals were then aerated at a subminimum temperature (below 90°F), while product functionality samples were aerated at a temperature exceeding the maximum production limit (100°F). For the full-cycle runs, BIs were placed at the worst-case location within the product, as identified through fractional testing. The number of BI-inoculated product packs (10) was based on the volume of product sterilized, as per ISO 11135, section C.3.2. The BIs were retrieved immediately after the sterilization period was finished and were incubated as the load continued to aerate.

The sterilization cycle validated here was run isothermally--that is, sterilization and aeration occurred at the same temperature without interruption. To decrease product aeration times, cycle temperatures can also be ramped--the aeration phase being run at a higher temperature than the sterilization phase. Once the maximum load size has been validated during full-cycle testing, routine lot sizes may differ depending on the production volume.

CONCLUSION

Gas-diffusion technology is a safety-conscious, effective, and efficient way for device manufacturers to routinely perform terminal EtO sterilization of medical devices. It is based on the well-known chemical and physical laws of gas diffusion across permeable barriers. By controlling temperature and humidity in the manufacturing area and by selecting packaging materials with compatible EtO permeation properties, a gas diffusion sterilization system can be installed, validated, and operated to deliver an SAL of 10­6.

The Red Tie Affair is a internationally recognized emo rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. They currently signed to Astral records out of Australia. The band members include : Brooke Blary vocals, Danny Kemp on guitar, Frank Nemec playing bass, and Sean Connors with percussion. The Red Tie Affair has played tours on both coasts of North America opening for bands Sunny Day Real Estate, Amy Winehouse, and Billy Corgan's Zwan. The band plays an eclectic brand of Chicago style indie rock. Heavily influenced by Chicago bands such as Hum and Smashing Pumpkins. The bad recently replaced long time alcoholic bassist Danny Michaels with bassist Frank Nemec. The split was caused by Danny's insaitable thirst for vodka, pills, and cocaine. Although Danny was a founding member of the band, the split was mutual between him and the rest of the band. His presence has been missed by fans. Besides Brooke Blary, he was the most widely recognized Red Tie Affair member. Known for witty stage interactions with fans, and down to earth enough to enjoy drinks with fans at the bar. The Red Tie Affair is a working class rock band from the suburbs of Chicago. Many bands of their genre are often labeled as "emo," but a lot of these bands forget all to often that there are more types of emotions than just happy and sad. The Red Tie Affair's music couples sorrow with pain, aggravation with anger. Their lyrics are metaphoric journeys placing life experience into carefully crafted stanzas.

Venus Pencils were a product of the American Lead pencil Company starting in 1905. They were produced in a total of seventeen degrees under the categories of very soft, soft, medium, hard, and very hard. Pencils were produced with either no eraser, a tip and eraser, or an oversized tip and eraser. In 1956, the American Lead Pencil Company officially changed their name to the Venus Pen and Pencil Corporation, thus turning their fifty one year old product into the company name. After some acquirements the company name was changed to Venus-Esterbrook in 1967. In 1973, the company was bought out by Faber Castell and their name was changed for the last time to the Faber Castell Corporation. This ended use of the Venus name and trademark.

Princess Marcella Borghese
{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; border: 0px; margin-top: 0.2em;" ! |  Archived discussion follows below. Please do not modify it. <div class="boilerplate metadata afc" style="background-color: ; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;">

 * style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: 8px; background-color: white;" |

Princess Marcella Borghese was a real-life princess who founded a cosmetics line that bears her name.

History
Marcella Fazi was born in 1911 in Sicily, Italy and married Prince Paolo Borghese, of the Borghese family, establishing her as a princess. The family lived in Rome at the Villa Borghese, which is still open to tourists to this day. It was her love of fashion and toiletries that motivated her to hire a chemist to develop a lipstick and nail enamel to match a specific dress. From then on, she had most of her makeup and perfumes custom blended.

Charles H Revson
In 1956, businessman Gino Di Grandi approached Charles Revson and suggested he develop a line in conjunction with the Princess through a licensing agreement, to compete against Faberge's Juliette Marglen brand in department stores. This is believed to be the first "celebrity" beauty line. Charles Revson and the Princess became lifelong friends, and by 1963, Gino was included to 10% of the Princess' royalties from the line.

Borghese, as the line was known, developed into a fairly strong line- its main competition being (once Juliette Marglen disappeared) Elizabeth Arden, Helena Rubinstein and Geminesse, (by Max Factor). This was before Revson had developed his Ultima 2 line, and Revlon was looking to have a more upscale line for department stores. Borghese was sold across prestige department stores in the USA, such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman, and also in Asia, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. A stipulation prevented Borghese from being sold in central Europe, including (ironically) her native Italy.

Post Charles Revson
Although successful, Borghese was no match for Estée Lauder or Clinique, and, after Charles Revson died in 1975, Revlon president Michael Bergerac pulled the Revlon brand from department stores, leaving Borghese to struggle without much clout. Revlon lumped Borghese into a new division called Halston-Borghese, formed through the acquisition of Halston fragrances from Playtex beauty, and remained in niche department stores through the 1980's and 1990's.

Post Revlon
Attempts to grow and develop the brand were not successful, and by 2002, Revlon sold the company to a Saudi Arabia business group. However, the Princess remained involved in the Borghese line until her death in 2002, at the age of 90. By 2004 the line was sold to Georgette Mosbacher, who had success with the La Prairie brand in the early 1990's. Her strategies to re-establish Borghese as a leader in the prestige category did not prove effective, and in 2006 Borghese began to appear in Costco. This greatly impacted Borghese's already weak department store presence in lower end stores like The Bon Ton.

Costco
In 2007, Borghese began to develop beauty products for Costco's private label, Kirkland Signature, at even lower prices. These products read : "Kirkland Signature by Borghese", and have had an increasing presence in Costco stores. It is speculated that Borghese will eventually function strictly as a Costco private label.

Victor Singer, current head of the New Castle County Planning Commission in the USA state of Delaware, is an engineer, a retired aerospace designer, and a community activist.

Mr. Singer designed (among many other things) the "airbag" landing system used in the highly successful US "Pathfinder" Mars Lander while employed by the Thiokol Chemical Corporation (now Alliant) in Elkton, Maryland. This low-cost, previously unused system was successfully deployed after a 2 year trip through space and is generally considered the model for future unmanned landings on low-gravity planets possessing atmospheres.

Mr. Singer has served on many advisory boards in New Castle County and the City of Newark (both in the US state of Delaware).

He is known for his formidable qualifications as an engineer as well as for his acerbic wit; in 2003 he characterized his campaign for effective regulation of aboveground fuel tank construction as "teaching politicians why there's a square root button on their calculators".

(born 1975) is an American author and revolutionary. His most current work, On A Hill They Call Capital, is due in stores in the Fall of 2007 (available for pre-orders on amazon.com) and has already received acclaim by The Washington Post and Rolling Stone Magazine. Joel Garreau of the Washington Post wrote:

“When a band of good ol boys from Virginia decide that American liberties have been breached once too often, the resulting revolution they launch is both clever and informed by a sense of irony that only true country boys can pull off. Matt Carson has written a story populated by great characters and an ingenious plot. Watch out for this budding story teller.”

On A Hill They Call Capital is the story of eight Virginians in their twenties who pull off a revolution against the federal government, the most interesting facet of the story is that it takes place on October of 2008 causing many publishers to avoid putting their name to the story for fear of what might actually take place on this date resulting in the story being picked up and financed by the distributor and financed by unknown sources.

Carson’s first book, The Attic, A Christmas Story, sold over 25,000 copies in it’s first season under his penname Matthew Amick (Amick is the author’s middle name).

Matt Carson is also known as the founder of the Student Rights Administration at West Virginia University in 1996. At the time West Virginia University’s new President, David Hardesty, was set on ending the University’s reputation as a nationally ranked party school. Matt Carson on the other hand fought the president of the University on every level, especially from his seat as a staff writer for the school paper, the Daily Athenaeum, in order to maintain the schools reputation as a party school. The battle to keep fraternities “wet” and the pit (the area where students drank before and during football games) open to students and alcohol was ultimately won by Carson and the SRA.

Pala Narayanan Nair

Pala Narayanan Nair (96) entered the arena of Malayalam poetry when lyricism was the dominant strain. Some critics have placed him along with the famous lyrical poets of the time Changampuzha Krishna Pillai and Edappaly Raghavan Pillai, the duo also known as Edappally poets. They were virtually reining the world of Malayalam poetry during the second quarter of the 20th Century. It is true that  Pala is essentially a lyrical poet, but the true worth of his poetry should be assessed with different yardsticks.

In every sense Pala is essentially a poet of Kerala “ God’s own Country” A good poet must have physical as well as spiritual relationship with his native place. This view has been supported by the famous English poet Stephen Spender. There is no other poet in Malayalam  like Pala who has amalgamated all cultural stains of this geographical piece of land endowed with natural beauty, Its nature, history, culture, life, beauty, music, rhythm, all are speaking to us through his poetry with their elemental forces. Often they emanate the signals of warning about the degeneration of the moral values in modern society. They touch upon our conscience about the bygone ancient values of life. The real soul of Pala’s poetry is its spiritual power as Isaac Rousing Berg expresses the power of the Jew in his poetry or Walt Whitman expresses the life force of the American culture in his poetry. In a way it is exactly the ‘Hythem’ referred by T.S.Eliot. On deeper analysis, the poetry of Pala Narayanan Nair is built on the basement and the foundation of this power, right from his first poetry collection ‘Pookkal ‘ (‘Flowers’) to his latest on ‘Kumkumappookkal’ (Red Flowers’) this is very well evident.

A poet of Kerala and Bharath
“Is ‘Keralam Valarunnu’ (Kerala is Growing) is a huge garland of lyrical compositions, which are hymns to the spirit of Kerala that possesses a unique capacity for infinite growth and development for surrounding environmental obstructions and geographical boundaries” (Dr.M.Leelavathy). His poems pay tribute to the fascinating physical features of the land and the indomitable spiritual strength of the people. The fascinating natural beauty of Kerala inspires the poet to indulge in high poetic imagination. Pala absorbs into his poetry, the enthralling beauty of the Western Ghats. When he is immersed in its description he appears to be intoxicated by its unparallel beauty. This affinity may be because of his varied experiences in some alien lands while he served in the army during the Second World War. In ‘Keralam Valarunnu’ (Kerala Growing) he harbingers the collective senses of the people of this geographical area, which later became the state of Kerala. Thus he fulfilled one of the great historical tasks of combining the shattered emotions of the people towards their culture. Like in Walt Whitman’s poetry how the geography, the history and the culture of the people of America are echoing, in the poetry of Pala these elements are echoing and re-echoing. His emotional feelings towards Kerala are only a complementary element of his larger sense of patriotism towards Bharat thus the poet of Bharath in the wider sense. For him Bharath in the embodiment of all ancient values, visions cultures and civilizations. He seems to be very much enthused by the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi – the philosophy that ultimately paved way for the freedom of the country. This feeling of patriotism is the spiritual through many of his poems covertly and overtly. [E.g. ‘Adima’ (The slave), ‘The Last Worship (Anthya pooja), Sathyaghahi, Bharath Samskaram (The Culture of Bharath) Bhagavath Geeta ‘ and also the poems on Gandhiji, Nehru and Tagore]. He is often anxious about the safety and security of the country and appears to be vigilant as a guard. He wants to be the guardian of the cultural values of the country, as he considers them as his life’s treasures. He foresees a foreign invasion of his sacred land. His poem ‘Kailasathil’ is a testimony of this. He wrote this poem much before the Chinese attacked our Motherland. His other poems like ‘Jnanoli’ and ‘Kurushetram’ are examples of this fathomless patriotic love.

While footing firmly his poetry on the traditional floor, he expresses his diversified talents in so many other ways. He is always vigilant to the happenings around him, the vicissitudes of the human society, social, cultural and scientific. Often we see that a new knowledge of science give more enthusiasm and emotion to this poet. A new development in the field of science would be made part and parcel of his poetry, being his senses vigilant and awakened towards them. With a clairvoyants foresight he prophesied the conquering of moon by man (Aham Brahmasmi). For him the knowledge of science would be utilised for enriching the life upon this world, not for destroying it. The knowledge of science becomes a strong weapon in the hands of the poet to attack the superstitious beliefs. [egs. ‘Ahambhahmasmi’, ‘Anuragini’, ‘Karmanye vadhikaraste’, ‘Ahalya’, ‘Puspakanyaka’.]

An evolutionary poet
True that his poetry undergoes a systematic evolution. His poetry collection ‘Pournami’ testifies this natural as well as spontaneous evolution. Stephen Spender has opined that for what cause and noble aim a poet writes, when that is being achieved, it may not be good for the poet. It may hinder further inspiration of the poet. This is true of Pala. In some of his famous poems he dreams of a free India, but when freedom came at last, he is disillusioned and disappointed. (Like the Mahatma himself). These disillusionments made him angry, his sweet dreams of freedom being shattered. This has made so many other poets introverts and reclusive. But the poems he writes afterwards are for opening the deaf ears of those deflected for the path of true aims of freedom.

There is no soar the poet of environment or high-sounding slogan of a revolutionary in thee poem, but the burning explosion of his mind is clearly discoverable. In the beautiful poem ‘Vanam’ he attacks the destroyers of forests, the boon of Mother Earth. This de- forestation is so cruel that he compares it to the murder of one’s mother. Poetic Craft

All though his poetic life Pala seems to have followed systematically the rules of verification. His poem hint that these rules are not deliberately attributed to the poems (imposed for the poems) They are coming up spontaneously as the soul of his very inspiration to write poems while Modern poets are trying to renew the language, the words and the style of rendering, Pala adheres to his usual form of verification and has been trying to make it more perfect. No true poet (irrespective of his modernity) can discard altogether the rules of verification. Even in the age of computer and Internet this has been continuing.

What we usually see today is that the vocabulary (the word power) of the most of the modern poets is limited to a minimum. The duty of (mission of) a true  writer is that he should restore the relevance of words lost in the slough of oblivion due to the passage of time, not using the modern words time and again. It is poetry words connected with nature, trees, flowers, birds and festivals retained and retold. The modern poets have to get these lessons from poets like Pala, Edessery and Vailoppally.

Pala uses symbols representing the realm of a world of ideas. Some times this symbols retraces and recollects some collective emotions and experiences of the past. This is a poetic process of modern poetry. The poet uses usually archetype for this. Pala achieves this by ecstatic poetic pulses (illustration). He dissolves symbols and images in to the whole collective emotions of the poem there by evoking a new experience in the reader. The revolution of the earth around the Sun is a search for comfort – the clouds from which rain is to come. In the deeper analysis it is seen that the thirst not only for the rain, it is for some lost fortunes, pure beauty, some beauty of life that is lost forever. [The cloud is God Krishna – the rain is Holy Gita – the Earth become Radha who is searching for Krishna, the rain – The echoes of Holy Gita can be discernable in Gitamrutha mazha, Vjaya maha radha, Janaoli, Bhavavaht Gita, kurushetram etc.

There is a rich world of puranic allusion beautifully dissolving in to poems, beautifully dissolving into his poems.

Allusions and Echoing of the poet
Echoes and reactions of the past in the poetry is a modern poetic device. He quotes Gita and ancient texts often in his poems. He recreates the atmosphere of Kurukshetra and produces the same echoes in the past. He collects the very same experience of the past and connects them with present enlivening them like T.S. Eliot. (E.g. Poems Jnanoli, Averthanam, Dukhajyala – begins with a verse from Gita. The poet can communicate the depth the very same emotion by this devise.

Conclusion
Pala’s preserving verification lashing more than seven decades remains a wonder in the whole literary world. It seems that he is searching for perfection the heavenly task of a poet even today. In this he is comparable to William Wordsworth, Sumithranand Panth and Mahadevi Varma. They sustain the very same vision about poetry and its mission. Great poets have three qualities, abundance proliferation, variety and poetic techniques. Pala is a great poet in this respect.

Pinball 2000 is the latest pinball hardware and software platform developed by Williams and has been used in the machines Revenge From Mars by Bally and Star Wars Episode I by Williams before both were going out of the pinball business on October 25th, 1999.

Unlike previous pinball machines, it features a TV to display animations, the player score and other information directly onto the playfield by using a mirroring playfield glass (a technique first developed and used by Disney in some of their live shows) which reflects the output displayed from the monitor hanging in the head of the machine. This allows to display virtual game targets in the upper third of the playfield that can be physically hit by the regular steel ball of the machine. To detect the impact of the ball the released games used various targets in the middle of the field or by recognizing succesful shots up the left and right ramps and loops.

Another novelty is the fast swapping of playfields and software, so operators can convert an existing game into a completely new one in (theoretically) 5 to 10 minutes. A conversion kit for Revenge from Mars was released so it could be converted into a Star Wars Episode I. The kit included a new playfield, ROMs, cabinet decals and a manual plunger.

Technical Details

 * The main unit stored in the head of the machine is IBM-PC based and mainly consists of a BAT style PC mainboard running a Cyrix Media GX CPU connected to a Cyrix CX5520 bridge and a PCI-PRISM card that holds the Game ROMs and DCS-2 soundhardware. Pinball 2000 uses a 19 inch VGA color monitor for graphics output, altough it is even possible to exchange the built in monitors by a LCD if it can handle the low refresh rate (15kHz) and resolution of an arcade VGA monitor (640x240).
 * New software updates can be installed via a serial cable connected to a second PC, so no additional ROM exchanges are necessary as in previous generations.
 * The machines also offer networking support, a feature that can be used to easily run game tournaments (each connected machine then displays the total highscores and optional player pictures) or to play the machine via another computer connected using TELNET, so it's even possible to control the pinball machine via webcam and internet.
 * Another first in pinball history is the display of broken lamps and fuses inside the service menu. Also other broken hardware (like switches, solenoids and the like) is displayed on the TV screen and marked on the drawn playfield for simplified maintenance.

Games
Released:
 * Revenge From Mars (1999)
 * Star Wars Episode I (1999)

Planned titles:
 * Wizard Blocks (prototype exists, owned by Gene Cunningham/Illinois Pinball)
 * Playboy (prototype exists, owned by Gene Cunningham/Illinois Pinball)
 * Wild Toys (a registered trademark for a Williams pinball machine registered in 1999 but no more information available at the moment)
 * Monopoly (rumors say that the game that was later released by Stern (Monopoly) and using a traditional dot matrix display was originally designed for Pinball 2000).

Trivia

 * The first generation mockup prototype of the Pinball 2000 architecture was called Holopin and was using George Gomez (main designer) old Amiga computer to drive the video display. It was accompanied by a No Good Gofers whitewood prototype playfield.
 * The patent describing the invention used the graphics of Monster Bash on the machine. So there might have been thoughts about porting this game to the Pinball 2000 platform.

Letting Up Despite Great Faults is an indie/electronic music group from Los Angeles, CA. Founded in 2005, Michael Lee began writing music that contained a seamless mix of organic and inorganic sounds as he would layer pianos, strings, and guitars over well-calculated drum rhythms and synth lines. He would sparingly sing on the tracks, and yet that made the words hit that much harder. Music blogs started taking notice and Lee felt he needed some help.

Lee now plays with 3 other musicians and although he grew up in Los Angeles, his three other bandmates, are from Canada, Texas, and Virginia. Patrick Staples, who also studies at the Colburn music conservatory in Los Angeles, plays guitar. Kent Zambrana, who recently moved from Texas after graduation, plays bass. Nia Allen plays the cello.

On August 15, 2006, the EP, Movement, was released. This was their first official release. There are rumors that a full-length will be out sometime in 2008.

On May 30, 2007, "Disasters Are Okay" (the 1st track off Movement) was featured on an episode of One Tree Hill.

Team Toamto: Brian Wiegert: guitar/vocals/piano Eric Clay: guitar/vocals Jordan Ross: bass/vocals Luis Actis: drums

Biography of the band:
Team Tomato recently released their self-titled third official LP to local, critical and popular acclaim. Hailing from St. Louis longtime friends Brian Wiegert, Jordan Ross, Eric Clay, and Luis Actis have performed in various ensembles of various genres for over a decade. Now, they play something they can call their own - from big choruses and driving guitar solos, delivered sans irony, to dissonance and deconstruction. This is where Team Tomato explodes- they create fractured wordplay winding its way over muddied slide guitars, delayed atmospheres, and all-out rock hooks. "What does Team Tomato sound like? Take the grungy garage rock of Guided by Voices, then throw in the twisted pop melodies and burnt-sugar twang of 1980s R.E.M. and some ragged bar band bluster." – Annie Zaleski, Music Editor, Riverfront Times St. Louis Their last self-recorded and self-produced album Words and Skin and Bone, which won them a best local release nomination for 2004 in the Playback magazine, and brought them to Los Angeles to accept the 2005 D.I.Y. Album of The Year award, was the work of a band only just beginning to find its sound. "Team Tomato's songs are skillfully-crafted and densely layered; infused with catchy hooks, haunting melodies and impressive jams which demonstrate a maturity level that reaches well beyond the band members' years." -Michelle Ulsohn, Playback STL. The band's first attempt at creating an album together also garnered a finalist spot in the VH1 Song of the Year competition for the title track, and propelled them to the final round of the regional Emergenza competition. They were recently nominated for Best St. Louis Rock Band, and were mentioned in the USA Today Pop Candy blog in July 2007. Team Tomato is currently working on music videos for their new album and remixing their award-winning LP Words and Skin And Bone.

The Hejrat Foundation is an Islamic organization based in Southern California with the stated goals of establishing mosques, Islamic schools, Islamic banks, Islamic cemeteries, and various social programs. Founded in 2000, the group has open its first mosque, Masjid Al-Nabi, in West Covina, CA.

The Hejrat Foundation also runs an Islamic cemetery in Adelanto, CA under the name United Islamic Youth Organization that is claimed to be "the first, and the largest, cemetery in the United States that is in total accordance with Islamic law" and serves both Shia and Sunni Muslims. On June 4, 2005, arsonists destroyed the masjid and burial facilities.

The Organization has also founded Enlight Broadcasting Corporation, a satellite television station under the name Enlight TV. Programing is of religious instruction and is broadcast in English.

The Hejrat Foundation has expressed interest in founding an Islamic Seminary, a weekend school, food banks, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, free medical clinics for the needy, and senior citizen services.

Women’s Rights: The Hejrat Foundation's position of women's rights is unclear. Their website states: "Our objective is to eradicate the prevalent ignorance and misconceptions about women and their inherent rights. Our plan is to educate, for only through the dissemination of correct information about women’s rights will women be treated with the respect they deserve." It is unclear what "misconceptions" the group perceives and what "correct information" they will claim are women's "inherent rights."

The Crafty Badger is a heavy/folk metal bassist who is currently between bands. Having played with many famous bands such as Nightwish and Godsmack, he has still never had a mention on any program or records. It is believed that he prefers to remain annonymous this way as he dosn't want fame, he just like people to hear his music. He prefers using either Yamaha or BC Rich basses, with predominantly Peavey amps. His unique style has developed over the years and is a mixture of may other peoples such as Steve Harris (IRON MAIDEN) and Robbie Merrill (GODSMACK).

This article is a work in progress and will be finished in the near future.
