Daniel Conrad
Conceived by writer Chuck Turbane and artist Mel Vance during the Great Depression, Daniel Conrad took comic-strip readers by storm. The character started out as Danny Conrad: Newspaperman, a ten-year old newspaper salesman who went on adventures and solved crimes. Typical adventures had Danny fighting the evils of not smoking, rescuing a group of puppies that were accidentally shipped overseas, and of course, saving his city from the nefarious Dr. Scientist. Two years after the comic's debut, Turbane and Vance introduced the character of Arlene Twogood. Arlene became more popular than Danny and even garnered her own radio program.

As the United States entered World War II, the comic's popularity declined. The publisher countered this by raising Danny's age to 18 and changing the title from Danny Conrad: Newspaperman into Daniel Conrad: Nazi-Puncher. The revamped comic strip even included a guest appearance by fellow comics character and hero: Captain America. Arlene also joined the war effort by helping to design the B-29 Superfortress. Following the war, Daniel Conrad went on to spy operations against the USSR.

The 1960s brought with it a time of tumult and civil unrest. As always, Daniel Conrad changed with the times. The character re-entered the Army and shipped off to Vietnam and Arlene became an anti-war activist. The stories were much darker in tone than their WWII counterparts, and catered to an older audience. The artists and writers tried to highlight the horror and violence of war. Unfortunately, the audience for comics was made almost entirely of war supporters and readership dropped down to almost nothing. In May 1969, the character of Daniel Conrad went MIA and the comic strip ended after over thirty years in print.

In recent years, Daniel Conrad has had a kind of resurgence in popularity. Several limited edition reprints and other merchandise tie-ins have been released. Internet rumors have also reported that Universal is producing a film version of the original comic strip Danny Conrad: Newspaperman with Samuel L. Jackson in the title role.

Alberta Easter
This woman and her sons drifted from one fly-by-night scam to another and were living in an Inkster, MI hotel when Inkster police arrived July 9, 1987, to serve Alberta Easter, and her sons with a warrant for a $286 bad check.

Easter, 69, protested, insisting the warrant was improper. Officers Clay Hoover, 24, and Daniel Dubiel, 36, called their supervisor, Sgt. Ira Parker. He drove to the Bungalow Motel on Michigan Avenue. Seconds after Parker, 41, entered the motel room, the officers were ambushed and gunfire began. The cops didn't have a chance. Twenty-nine slugs were pumped into the three officers with high-powered assault rifles, including rounds taken from the officer's own weapons.

Then Easter and sons George, 45, Roy, 47, and William Lemons, 43, fired at random out the motel door at Michigan Avenue. A tense 10 hour standoff ended when the family surrendered. All were convicted of first-degree murder and are serving life terms for the slaying of three officers.

Robert Lienau. German family of music publishers active in Berlin.
The music publishing house of Robert Lienau was originally founded in 1810 by Adolf Martin Schlesinger as “Schlesinger’sche Buch- und Musikhandlung” and sold by his second son, Heinrich, to Robert Emil Lienau (1838-1920) in 1864. Following the brothers Robert Heinrich (1866-1949) and Wilhelm Friedrich (1875-1973), the firm was led since 1947 by the third generation, Dr. Robert Albrecht Lienau (1905-2001) and Miss Rosemarie Lienau (1903-1996). In 1991 the company was sold to Maja-Maria Reis (1929-2000), the owner of Musikverlag Zimmermann, and her daughter Cornelia Grossmann, who now leads the firm.

In 1875, the Viennese firm Carl Haslinger (formerly Tobias) was acquired. This added many works by Beethoven, Liszt, Spohr and Hummel to the catalogue, as well as an enormous number of waltzes, quadrilles and mazurkas by Johann Sr. and Jr., Joseph and Eduard Strauss, Lanner and Ziehrer. Thise additions to the catalogue led to the practical publications known as Edition Schlesinger from 1880 on. It contained Czerny: Piano Etudes edited by Bischoff, Spohr: Violin Etudes edited by Schroeder, the new Loewe edition, and “Opera Renaissance” with forgotten operas by Donizetti, Paer, Berlioz and others. Among the first to accept works by Bruckner, the firm published his Symphony No. 8. Symphony No. 3, the Te Deum, and Four Graduales followed in 1910 with the acquisition of Edition Th. Raettig. The works of Paul Juon, the Chopin Studies by Godowsky and, in 1910, Alban Berg: Piano Sonata, Op. 1 and Four Songs, Op. 2 appeared. Jean Sibelius entrusted his Op. 46 through 57 to the firm (this included his Violin Concerto). Josef Matthias Hauer’s compositions were published from 1923-25. Several other publishing houses were incorporated into the firm during the 1920’s: Otto Wernthal, with many editions of band music; Adolf Koester, with recorder and guitar titles; H.R. Krentzlin with educational music for piano.

Citizens for the Constructive Review of Public Policy (CCRPP)
Citizens for the Constructive Review of Public Policy (CCRPP) is a political organisation of Christian Democratic inspiration founded in Madison, Wisconsin by seven community and student activists in the early morning hours of 06. May 1990. The organisation was originally founded to take up the debate about the applicabiliy of ethics to all spheres of human affairs, and the 13-point statement that serves as the founding document of the group mentions several other battles of the day including taking the side of those in favour of the mathematics textbooks of John Saxon, the battle against racism and poverty, and specifically the need for diversification in the political approaches to the latter two issues, e.g. that the Democratic Party should not be able to take the votes of African-American voters for granted. The CCRPP has also been a strongly upper Midwest regionalist organisation since the first moments of its existence.

The CCRPP tends to come down on the US political spectrum in two or more places including the far Left and Old Right and was led into the Democratic Party by its leadership in late 1996 for various local, county, state, national, and international reasons. Nonetheless they ran a last minute write-in campaign in 1998 which garnered an unexpectedly large number of votes in Wisconsin and even a few in Minnesota (the CCRPP-organised electoral coalition endorsed Jesse Ventura for governor but also ran letter-to-the-editor and other media campaigns in several border region media markets including Duluth, the Twin Cities, and Rochester)

The CCRPP adopted the slogan "Unity, Integrity, Hierarchy, Tolerance" on 19. December 1994 in advance of the 1995 non-partisan elections and it has been the official slogan ever since.

The organisation consists of the main CCRPP organisation, a political party and/or Non-Partisan League-type apparatus (currently the NCCL) and the National Codeine OTC Lobby. The forerunners of the CCRPP founded the United Gristle, Spray-Paint, Cardboard & Flammable Liquids Workers labour union in 1988, and all CCRPP enterprises are governed under a UGSPCFLW collective bargaining agreement first put into force on 11. August 1990.

The CCRPP publishes the Meadowood Economist, now a monthly publication associated with the Daily Meadowood Economist Web & E-Mail List. Founded on 21. May 1990, the Meadowood Economist has been a weekly, biweekly, thrice-weekly, and daily at different times in the past and is distributed by mail well beyond the borders of the South-West Side neighbourhood which gave the paper its name. The newspaper is well known in relevant circles for its community-first editorial policy, aggressive reporting, and violent muckraking style. Local versions of the Meadowood Economist, which were the full version wrapped in the local nameplate and coverage, were founded in 1995 including the Northside Wednesday Evening Observer and DeForest Post Intelligencer (never hyphenated - referring to the column distributed by the ME wire service "The View From Behind The Post")

The CCRPP acquired the semi-clandestine South-West Madison publication The Cyclone on the third anniversary of its founding on 06. February 1992 and has published it quarterly ever since. The Cyclone tends to be to the right of the Meadowood Economist politically, but their styles are very similar. The thunderbolt-and-circle logo of the CCRPP is an analogy to the tornado symbol of the organisation which originally published The Cyclone.

CCRPP members do not have to pay dues in several allied organisations including the 27. November Spreadsheet Macro Programming Club.

Musikverlag Zimmermann, German music publishing company.
The firm was founded in 1876 by Julius Heinrich Zimmermann (1851-1923) in St. Petersburg. He quickly became the agency for German instrument manufacturers of everything from strings to the organ. He opened a factory for brass instruments himself in 1880, and branches in Moscow, Leipzig, London and Riga followed. A number of important Russian composers published with the firm, as Mily Balakirev, Sergei Lyapunov and Alexander Taneyev. By the turn of the century Zimmermann became the single most important supplier of instruments to the court of the Czar, the Russian army and the nobility.

After World War I the company was nationalized and lost its properties in Russia. His sons August (1877-1952) and Wilhelm (1891-1946) divided the company upon Julius’s death, August taking over the instruments and Wilhelm Zimmermann the publishing interests. Wilhelm became the main publisher of Nikolai Medtner. In the mid-1920s he drew attention with jazz, but after 1933 the Nazis attached the label “degenerate” on his jazz publications. Wilhelm was no Aryan according to the spirit of the law in the Third Reich, but he managed to hold the company together.

His widow, Edith Zimmermann (1900-1975) then became the head of the company. In 1953, she fled the Soviet Zone to Frankfurt/Main, again losing a great portion of its properties. She built up the company again, publishing also Contemporary Music. After Edith’s death, her daughter, Maja-Maria Reis (1929-2000) headed the firm. In 1980, she was elected president of the German Music Publishers Association. Today the firm is owned by her daughter Cornelia Grossmann.

Guy Buttery
As you drive about 13 miles north of Durban, the largest city in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, you pass a lush fertile belt where the rich green shades of the sugar cane meet the turquoise of the Indian Ocean. This is where on the 26th November 1983, guitarist and composer Guy Buttery was born and raised in a small coastal town along the North Coast. This is a place of enchantment, freedom, promise and where the creative spirit takes charge. Besides being introduced to music at an early age through his mother who plays the piano and his older brothers who played guitar, the muse naturally took hold of Guy when he was ten. It wasn’t out of peer pressure, but out of the necessity to liberate the creative whirlwind which was ever prevalent during those early years. Just think about it. As rich as the soil for his feet to stand on, you had local Zulu tribesmen, playing their brand of music known as Maskanda on finger-picked oil drum guitars. They were our blues men, or wandering storytellers, which hollered their song into a young Buttery’s heart. Across the valley, the sounds of tabla and sitar could be heard from one of the many Indian Hindu temples bringing a diversity of colour, spirit and enlightenment into such an enquiring mind.

After hearing John Paul Jones’ mandolin on Zeppelin’s, “Battle of Evermore”, Buttery acquired a mandolin, and with the influence of Ravi Shankar being so close to home, purchased a sitar from one of the local Indian music shops. At the age of 13, Buttery was introduced to classical harmony through his first guitar teacher, Leandros Stavrou. The quest for new musical boundaries was inevitable, and through friend, guitar teacher and present collaborator, Nibs van der Spuy, Guy was introduced to fingerstylist extraordinaire, Michael Hedges. This only ignited the flame even bigger. Guy then went on to study Jazz at the Kwa-Zulu Natal Technikon and later on, at the Durban School of Music to reunite with Leandros Stavrou, to further his classical training. Soon after, the boundaries were pushed even wider by hearing the music of Oregon, Ralph Towner, Steve Reich, Egberto Gismonti and John Coltrane to name a few.

After opening a concert in early 2001 for well known Mozambican musician Gito Baloi and Nibs van der Spuy, both musicians were dumb struck at the virtuosity coming from the fingers of the 17 year old. Not being able to ignore this enormous talent, it was not long before Buttery sealed a deal with South African World/Jazz label, Sheer Sound. His debut album “When I Grow Up…” was released in late 2002 to great critical acclaim. Comprising of highly original self written acoustic fingerstyle compositions, Guy Buttery was the youngest nominee in the history of the SAMA’s (South African Music Awards) of the same year. He was nominated in both ‘Best Instrumental Album of the Year’ and ‘Best Newcomer for 2002’, at the tender age of 18. After creating such a unique hybrid fingerstyle technique, using both hands on the fret board, creating polyphonic, percussive and harmonic textures, it wasn’t long before he caught the attention of a loyal cult following. This in turn translated into being invited to all the prestigious music festivals throughout South Africa and Mozambique. The tapestry of sounds and stylistic influences coming from his guitar, never seem to be exhausted. Just when you think the journey is over, he will start playing a beautiful rendition of one of his favourite South African composers. Be it Vusi Mahlasela, Tony Cox or Steve Newman, Buttery never loses sight of where he comes from and the rich local influences all around him.

Exciting times lie ahead for this local giant. 2005 saw the release of his follow up album, “Songs from the Cane Fields” which was once again nominated at the SAMA’s for ‘Best Instrumental Album’. The music speaks of an unbounded freedom, where the landscape meets the Indian Ocean. The inspiration clearly speaks of anguish, from days gone by, the unleashed joy of new beginnings and spirit of travel along ancient African footpaths. The album is an ode to his rich surroundings, yet ironically, will be the creative spring-board that ultimately catapults him to far away nations, so all can share in such a rich talent. The period following his sophomore release, interspersed with exotic travel destinations and new found instruments, were times for branching out of the solo field into various interesting and historical collaborations. Having completed numerous tours around South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, Australia and the U.K., Guy has performed, supported, recorded and toured with many African greats as well as many artists on the International field such as Vusi Mahlasela, Missy Higgins, The Violent Femmes, Madala Kunene, Greg Georgiades, Brendan Jury, Landscape Prayers, Nibs vd Spuy, Kesivan Naidoo, Farryl Purkiss, Shawn Phillips, Valiant Swart and Steve Newman, to a name a few.

As you listen to the creative genius of music-making whirlwind Guy Buttery, you can’t escape the feeling that this extraordinary musician has a mind of a prophet and the musical prowess of a Guru.

'ACCOLADES:'

Guy's debut album, "When I Grow Up..." was nominated for 'Best Instrumental Album of the Year' and 'Best Newcomer for 2002' at the South African Music Awards as well as being the youngest nominee in the history of the event. In 2003, the South African Rock Digest nominated “When I Grow Up..." as one of the top albums of the year. Guy’s 2nd release, “Songs from the Cane Fields” was also nominated for ‘Best Instrumental Album’ in 2006 at the South African Music Awards.

'REVIEWS'

''“… his music has a subtle grace and power all of its own. Though his technical prowess is also bewildering, Buttery immerses himself entirely into the soul of his guitar, coaxing sonic shapes and forms of such startling originality from it that his instrument acts as a kind of lightning conductor for the sound of another realm.”''

- The Mail & Guardian

"...I closed my eyes and imagined a small band of wizened African minstrels that might be playing strange, esoteric instruments. When I opened my eyes, Guy Buttery was still there. A lone person, having a conversation with wood and steel."

- The Saturday Independent, 'Album of the Week'

"There's a great mind inside the string player. You WILL be bowled over by such huge talent in one so young."

- The Star, 'CD of the Week'

"...the most exciting player I've seen in the last ten years, who is destined for greater heights."

- The Daily News

"In a country with a vast dearth of fingerstyle guitarists, Guy Buttery does my heart fiercely proud. He is part of the next wave of young guitar players who stands out head and shoulders above the rest. With music at once uncompromising yet intensely passionate and articulate Guy is on a major guitar roll - may it roll long and wide!"

- Tony Cox, Winner of numerous National Music Awards, Renowned Acoustic Guitarist

"“Put on this CD and you can almost feel the warm breeze off the Indian Ocean. Guy Buttery's music is all about atmosphere and contrast, and he's drawn from the sights and sounds of his South African surroundings and culture to conjure it all so magically. Somewhere halfway through "Cane Fields" a smooth transition from fingerstyle to ambient acoustic tone poems occurs, experimental ground cleverly foisted as traditional.”

- Minor7th Webzine, USA's Leading Acoustic Guitar Reviewer

"Guy Buttery is one of the premier up and comers in the world of fingerstyle guitar today. His raw, unrestrained sense of time and movement is such a nice change of pace compared to the endless boring fingerstyle stuff I seem to always get in the mail for review. Sign me up for all future releases from this 'Guy'..."

- Rob Eberhard Young, Legendary Acoustic Guitar Fingerstylist

"I am honored that Guy sites me as an influence. His music has a very strong heart. The passion comes through like a tidal wave."

- Richard Leo Johnson, World Renowned Guitar Player

"Guy Buttery incarnated with the joy of music in his fingers and an explorative curiosity in his mind. Buttery uses and dispenses with technique, allows time to travel down the long neck of his guitar, writes poetry with his fingernails, chokes notes and then let’s them fly."

 - Bejazzed Magazine

"At once sparse and perfectly complete, Buttery sings with his guitar previously unspoken words that are almost a language unto themselves. There is the echo of the Zulu guitar, the resonance of an emotional investment in landscape and the insular, imaginative mind of a talented young man."

- The Independent on Saturday

"Unorthodox twenty-something Durban musician Guy Buttery, on only his second release, throws down the gauntlet with an album of incredible versatility and imagination. There are times when it sounds as if there’s a seven-piece band backing Guy Buttery, so complex and rich is the sound, but it’s just him and his acoustic guitar exploring myriad textures and rhythms with an ingenious imagination and scant regard for music industry rules. It’s the kind of album that reveals something new at every turn, the kind of album that never gets old or outstays its welcome."

- Craig Canavan, JHB Live

"South African acoustic guitar prodigy Guy Buttery follows up on the SAMA-nominated success of his début album with another impressively original instrumental songbook. Impressionist solo guitar sketches open up into pastoral tone poems, classical folk and bluegrass filters, and even a gentle psyche sitar improvisation. In his unconventional classical piano/guitar constructions where discerning listeners can fully navigate the micro-tonalities and modal harmonic seduction of Buttery's idiosyncratic approach to his instrument. And to think, all of this was recorded in his lounge..."

PowerNap (recording)
PowerNap is a patented audio recording that claims to induce sleep for three hours in a time span of twenty minutes. The recording was invented by Jonathan Husni in 2004, who was looking for a way for the employees of his Information Technology company to gain sleep they lost by working late hours.

How it Works
PowerNap is said to work by using inaudible sound frequencies combined with white noise, sounding like light rain, as a carrier wave. The listener's brain syncs with the frequencies after about a minute. The recording then sends the listener through periods of deep and REM Sleep cycles, only to wake him/her up after the twenty-minute recording is over. Dreaming during the recording is normal.

Variations of the Recording
To date, four variations of the PowerNap recording have been released to the public, three of the four on CD:

The original PowerNap recording is twenty minutes long, putting the listener to sleep for the time period, and then waking he/she up at the end.

PowerNap "E", Extended Edition, is a forty-minute variation of the original recording.

PowerNap Dive is a variation which is over seventy minutes long. This version, however, takes the listener into a deep sleep, and then fades out, leaving the listener in the deep sleep.

The PowerNap NapMachine is the newest product in the PowerNap line. It is an updated version of the original PowerNap CD, but released on a PlayAway digital audio player for portability. It starts with a voice giving a brief instruction of how to use it, and ends with songbirds to wake the listener up if he/she is not already awake from the end of the recording.

EMB Consultancy LLP
EMB Consultancy LLP

EMB Consultancy is the world’s leading actuarial and business consultancy firm specialising in non-life insurance (otherwise known as general insurance) Royal & Sun Alliance Capital Management Report. EMB is the world’s largest producer of non-life actuarial software.

They are headquartered in London, at the heart of the world’s insurance industry centre. Their pricing, reserving (loss reserving or claims reserving) and financial modeling software products have been awarded the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise www.ft.com twice in the past 5 years. The firm won its first award for innovation in 2003 for what is understood to be the world’s largest and most successful range of non-life actuarial software.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Founded in 1993, EMB now has over 250 staff worldwide. They have offices all over the world, including Germany, France, the USA, South Africa, Australia, Latin America, Scandinavia and India.

HISTORY
The growth of EMB in a conservative industry has taken place in direct competition with several well-established players such as Tillinghast Towers-Perrin, Watson Wyatt and Deloitte.

By 2003, ten years after the firm was founded, EMB had become the dominant actuarial consultancy in UK personal lines, especially in the motor market. In the international market, it has achieved the joint largest presence at Lloyd’s of London and a growing client base among commercial insurers and reinsurers, many of them based overseas. It is also a leader in the large and growing run-off business.

EMB has expanded internationally and now has offices on every continent. Most recently, they have opened offices in Norway, Japan and South Africa. EMB has a substantial and growing client-base among insurers and reinsurers based in the UK and overseas. Current issues such as Solvency II and the move in pricing away from tariffs to more open markets have seen clients from various countries go to EMB for assistance.

NOTABLE AWARDS

 * 2007 EMB won the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category.
 * 2003 EMB won the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category
 * 2001 EMB won the ‘’’Service Provider of the Year’’’ category at the Review awards

INDUSTRY RESEARCH
EMB’s most recent research was with the International Underwriters Association’s Bodily Injury Seminar Fourth UK Bodily Injury Awards Study. This report shows that claims paid by insurers have been rising by around 10% p.a. for at least the past twenty years. The upward trend is unlikely to end any time soon, according to one of the study’s authors. This Study contained a lot of good news for the insurance industry and can be seen as a tribute to its increased effectiveness and technical capability. Companies are identifying claims earlier, paying them more quickly and reserving more accurately.

ACTUARIAL SOFTWARE
EMB is the world’s largest producer of non-life actuarial software Royal & Sun Alliance Capital Management Report. They have a committed team of software developers and testers in their Research and Development Division. The developers and testers work closely with EMB consultants on the design and specifications, which follows through to the thorough testing of the products before release.

The software helps companies with risk assessment and modeling, financial and business simulations, reinsurance decisions, pricing analysis and optimization and loss reserving.

Familial Multiple Lipomatosis
by Al-Duhailib, Mohammed A.

Abstract Familial multiple lipomatosis is a rare hereditary syndrome with a proposed autosomal-dominant inheritance. A case of an 66-year-old man with this disease is presented. Clinical features, genetic evidence, and treatment options are reviewed. ________________________________________

Clinical report History. An 66-year-old man presented to the Dermatology Service of the Department of King Fahd University Hospital for a total body skin examination. Approximately 40 years ago, the patient noted the development of multiple non-tender nodules on the trunk and upper extremities. These lesions were slow-growing and became more numerous with age. In fact, he ignored them because of benign feeling and reassurance of previous medical advice. Past medical history includes coronary artery disease. Medications include aspirin. Family history includes a subcutaneous disorder in multiple relatives. Physical examination. Multiple, rubbery, non-tender, non-pulstile nodules were located on the neck, abdomen, back, and both forearms. The lesions were mobile, fluctuant, with positive transillumination and ranged in size from 1-5 cm. Laboratory data. Total cholesterol was 172 mg/dl, LDL 125 mg/dl, HDL 52 mg/dl and triglycerides 109 mg/dl. Diagnosis. Familial multiple lipomatosis. Comment Familial multiple lipomatosis is a hereditary syndrome of uncertain prevalence. Multiple discrete, encapsulated lipomas are found on the trunk and extremities, with relative sparing of the head and shoulders. The number of tumors in any one patient may vary considerably. Although tumors usually range in size from a few millimeters to 6 cm in diameter, lipomas as large as 25 cm have been reported. Spontaneous regression and malignant degeneration are rare. The disease is not associated with any abnormalities in lipid metabolism. From case reports, most authors have inferred an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, although men are affected twice as commonly as women. However, many of these reports are incomplete, as oftentimes the disease does not manifest until after age 30.

Early Life
- Born in 1792, in the back on an In-N-Out Burger in the middle of El Paso, Texas. Taught himself how to walk, talk, read, write,and roll blunts all with the help of his Little Einstein development videos. Created the NWA record label at the age of 6, all the while working with Dre, Snoop, Biggie, but never Tupac. Started the whole "fuck the police" movement, and was a founder of both the Crips, and the Bloods.

Cut the ribbon at the opening of the Lied Library on the UNLV campus.

Started the Civil War at the age of 19, because General Cornrow Wallace stepped on his brand new Nike's. It was never supposed to be the North against the South, but more the Mexicans against the Chinese. No one knows how slavery became the point of the war.

Now he wears Vans and will shoot you in the face if you look at them. He lives behind the dumpster of the McDonald's restaurant, next to the Chevron on the corner of Maryland and Trop. That's Tropicana for all you retards. You will often see him bathing in the fountains at Caesar's, because that's how he rolls fool. He also coined the term "son," son.

He also wears a silly red hat. And hangs out with Jose in the library WAY TOO much.

Danananananananana Cow man
this chant is referring to the chant for the Cow Man, a figure that appears to be the saviour of many people. A cult has referred to it as the call of the end of times. These people believe that when the great cow comes he will make them the leader of all humans. The cult has spread through the internet and has headquarters spread around the globe. To keep the clan defended from public involvement or being found out they mainly use cult number codes to communicate. I know. I heard them.

Nikolai S
His full name is Nikolai Smirnoff and he is thirty years old. Some say he is a self-styled Russian playboy but he cannot deny that he does a reputation for enjoying some of life’s finer things.

For years he has been travelling the world, infiltrating new sub-cultures, making new contacts and throwing underground parties. This has since led to the establishment of covert organisations in many different parts of world, where agents assist other agents to perform undercover missions. He leads the way and funds it all.

His family is originally from the great city of Moscow. In the 1860s his great-grandfather, Piotr, prospered. Everyone knew the family well. It cannot be said at this time what Piotr’s business was, but it was pioneering and very successful - and involved an interesting relationship with the Russian Imperial Court.

Piotr was a kind and generous man, and for decades he was the link between the Tsars and the proletariat. But in the early 1900s, being a member of the Russian aristocracy began to cause Nikolai's family some degree of distress. Things came to a head in 1917 during the Bolshevik Revolution. Nikolai's grandfather, Vladimir, had since taken over Piotr’s business. His fortune took a turn for the worse when the Red Army sentenced him to death by firing squad. Fortunately for Nikolai, Vladimir was reprieved. But before he had time to celebrate he was sentenced again. And again. And again. These Bolsheviks just could not make a decision, and Vladimir did not want to stick around in case they changed their minds for a fifth time.

He fled to Constantinople, then to Poland and finally settled in France. Things were not exactly rosy for Vladimir. He did not have a penny to his name and my family was becoming hungrier by the day. The war had made building a business very difficult, but through a combination of sheer luck and dogged determination, Vladimir finally got his business off the ground and by 1933 he had expanded to that other great empire, America.

After World War Two, Vladimir returned to Russia where Nikolais' father was born. Nikolai's father has now passed away and he has inherited the family fortune. However, it was his last dying wish that Nikolai use this money to inspire people around the world to revel in pleasure-seeking activities and, above all, have fun. Nikolai considers it a great honour to be handed this prodigious responsibility and vows to do everything in his power to amuse people with my original and exciting form of entertainment.

Recently people have been trying to take down Nikolai and his organisation. Nikolai does not mean any harm and has been terribly disappointed at these attempts. The hacking into of his organisations website and missions, means agents have had to find ways around completing missions in order to gain kudos. Missions are carefully deisgned and created in order to fulill objectives that will ultimately benefit the agent. Builiding a bigger and better network where agents are helped in achieving personal goals, partake in random acts of kindness within the community and are supported by other agents will eventually lead Nikolai's organisation to the top.

Nikolai is all about helping people who help him. Anyone can become an agent simply by signing up at www.1711.ru

Upon completion of all Nikolai's missions, top agents will be selected to attend one of his famous parties, known worldwide. The next party is to be held in New Zealand, in a secret location yet to be confirmed. For the months leading up to the party on November 17th 2007, preparation has been taking place in order to provide the party of a life time that the elite agetns will never forget.

For everyone who is not yet an agent. There is still time to sign up. www.1711.ru Code work Agent Mstrkfrt
