Ginnunga Version 2.0 was formed sometime in October / November 2000 and disbanded at the end of April 2001

Lineage II - Ginnunga DARK AGE OF CAMELOT - HISTORY Ginnunga in DAoC was formed pretty much the same date as the game released

Lineage II - ReBorn  About the alliance The Uprising alliance consists of the two clans Reborn and Enmity. Quick history of the two guilds: Enmity was formed from the guild Vindication which disbanded when the leader gsebi stopped playing. Vindication in turn was an offspring from Feral Uprising (Led by Dragon aka Nightrainn) which in turn was an offspring from The Combine after they officially left the game (Deyth aka Seytun quit). You could trace the heritage of the clan a bit differently if you wished, feel free to correct me if you feel that I am wrong.

Reborn was formed from Ginnunga by Cogency after Ernesto (Leader of Ginnunga) left the game. Reborn is now led by Cogency and his advisor EverGlade.

World of Warcraft  Ginnunga has been active on 3 different servers so far in World of Warcraft. It started with Horde side on Stormreaver server (PvP) which is the most active faction with best progress. (Illidan+Archimonde down, and the previous ones)

In the fall 2005 another faction was started with Alliance side on Bloodhoof server (PvE). This section continued until summer 2007 when it was merged with Axiom Knights into the new guild Chimera.

During the winter 2007 a new faction was started with Alliance side on Nordrassil server (PvE). This section currently consist mostly of people from Bloodhoof section.

Leon Reid IV
Leon Reid IV, a.k.a. VERBS a.k.a. Darius Jones, (born September 18, 1979) is an American artist widely credited as being among the pioneers of 21st century street art. His brief creative output is marked by numerous phases, several of which are known by separate alter-egos.

Early Graffiti in Cincinnati
Leon IV began writing graffiti in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1995, at the age of 15. He was attracted to the traditional uses of spray paint, markers, wild style lettering and black-book culture as first developed by graffiti writers in Philadelphia and New York City a quarter of a century earlier. Leon IV chose VERBS as his tag (graffiti identity) by watching a video by underground hip-hop group The Nonce. "I saw this fat guy rapping on T.V.... he had a big black sweatshirt that read "VERBS" in the middle of it...I badly needed a name and for some reason it seemed to have the right feel " He said in conversation. As VERBS, Leon IV engaged in numerous street bombing missions (graffiti made on urban infrastructure typically at night) with his friend MERZ, also a young graffiti writer. Street bombing, the dominant vehicle of graffiti expression after the era of New York City train writing ended in the late 1980's, could be just as dangerous as train writing. One night after painting graffiti on a rooftop with MERZ, Leon IV fell off the side of a building while descending its back wall. A sharp object in the alley below made a laceration in his left leg on impact, for which he "still bears the scar" he claimed in an off the record statement.

Proto-Street Art/ VERBS
The late 1990's brought waves of graffiti artists through Cincinnati by way of Scribble Jam, an annual hip-hop festival held in August. Among the most influential visiting artist was Philadelphia writer Steven Powers (a.k.a. ESPO). Leon IV began to adopt ESPO's recent strategy of applying illegal graffiti in daylight, while absorbing the tactics of advert manipulation as developed by Ron English, and graffiti writers Barry Mcgee (a.k.a.TWIST) and KAWS. As a result, Leon IV consolidated his influences into a functioning street program by installing painted road signs and altered adverts in broad daylight under the guise of a city ordained construction worker. Pivotal to the new process was Leon IV's childhood friend and artist Andre Hyland (a.k.a Buddy Lembeck) who participated in these initial street installations and added a white construction hard hat to the disguise. A reflective vest would be added to the costume after Leon IV's stay in Brooklyn.

New York Period/Darius Jones
Leon IV's Move to Brooklyn, NY in 1998 proved transitional. While attending Pratt Institute he met film students Quenell Jones and Brad Downey. The pair were interested in filming a documentary (later titled Public Discourse) on the burgeoning New York street art scene and asked Leon IV if he would be their first subject. With Leon IV's approval, the three became a street art trio, often executing and filming installations simultaneously. After months behind the camera, Downey began assisting in Leon IV's installations and gradually shifted gears from documentarian to street artist. "Brad soon found himself working alongside Leon, eventually donning a costume himself...Leon remembered exactly how it felt to be new to the scene, how hard it was to learn the ropes and secrets...So he willingly took Brad under his wing. He shared all of his years of experience, all the trials and errors, never making Brad pay his dues to nearly the degree expected of him earlier in his own career."[1] As author Ed Zipco writes in "The Adventures of Darius and Downey". Thames & Hudson, 2008.

While on summer break ('00) in Cincinnati. Leon IV made a drastic creative decision. He put a complete end to writing VERBS, and at the suggestion of friend Andre Hyland, began signing his new works under the pen-name Darius Jones (a faux name he gave to a reporter when interviewed as VERBS). The new vein of work was characterized by sweeping roller-paint graffiti laced with positive and witty messages. The artist Swoon recalled: "In one conversation with Darius, he told me how he realized there was already so much negativity in the city, especially within the public's perception of graffiti." [he said] "Why don't we try to make something that is big and illegal and positive?"[2]

Style Shift
As Darius Jones, Leon IV developed a, lyrical, romantic quality that separated further from his work as VERBS. Moreover, he leaped from a primarily aerosol based genre to work increasingly with steel, pushing the limits of 3-dimensional street art, a then scantly explored possibility of the art form, with the exception of J.J. Veronis and REVS. Furthermore, by providing official titles to his illegal works, such as "Fleur D'acier" and "The Kiss", Leon IV urged the public to consider street art as more than a random act of vandalism. On his return to Brooklyn, he shared his new developments with Downey who by then had become a practicing street artist.

London Period/Darius and Downey
In the Fall of 2003 Leon IV moved to London to attend graduate studies at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Downey made the move to England as well and the two resumed their street collaborations from a distinctly British standpoint. This period in both the output of Leon IV and Downey is noted for a highly subversive approach to street art. "Last year, sharp-eyed Londoners may have noticed a three-foot high sheet metal figure painted green in the classic pedestrian crossing pose, looking for all the world like it was about to cross Tottenham Court Road...Meanwhile Bristolians may have come across a metal sculpture of a spider installed on a bricked-up window of an unoccupied house...Even fewer people will know who is behind these and many more unsigned sculptures- two American artists now operating in the UK, Darius and Downey."[3] Wrote Gavin Lucas for London design magazine Creative Review (2004). When curator Scott Burnham asked him to comment further on his creative process for British based ICON magazine Leon IV stated: "I occasionally stumble upon an area so devoid of either life or humour that I have an incredible urge to contribute something. This is when I take pictures of the area, study them and develop a piece around what exactly is missing from the space. I look at it like a tailor measuring a client to make the best fitting suit, or a doctor examining a patient to prescribe the right medication."[4] Due to their similarities in style, Leon IV and Downey are referred to collectively as Darius and Downey first in European and British press.

Current Phase
Leon IV's approach to art changed once again upon his return to Brooklyn in early 2005. He continued to make street art but increasingly accepted credit under his legal name before grinding to a complete halt in all illicit installations -effectively ending his work as Darius Jones and the Darius and Downey partnership. The swift change, similar to his detachment fromVERBS, caught a number of street art enthusiasts by surprise. In an article appearing in The Post-Standard entitled "Brooklyn artist is legal in Syracuse" Leon IV briefly describes the benefits of working with permission after completing a city commissioned sculpture: "Reid said it would have been impossible to install all three pieces illegally."[he said] "I can do so much more with permission, I can go bigger, for one, and the possibility of getting a budget is also there."[5]

About
Scribbles is a simple drawing tool for Mac OS X. It is based around an "infinite canvas", allowing the user to pan and zoom freely without encountering blocky pixels. It also allows high-resolution output from small drawings. It can be considered a hybrid between a bitmap drawing application and a vector drawing application.

The user interface is somewhat non-standard, for example the layer UI is inline with the document, and offers a 3D animated effect to make the concept of layers intuitive and fun.

Features
- infinite canvas

- high-resolution export

- unique, intuitive interface

- 3D layer UI

- textured brushes

Estiminter
Estiminter is a computer game for two players using a single computer keyboard. The name is derived from estimate intervals.

The game is somewhat similar to a quiz or a multiple choice test. Only numbers or dates are asked for, which the players must estimate within intervals of decreasing size.

The software to be downloaded free of charge (see below) allows its user to formulate whole sets of questions, e.g. "When was [NAME] born?". This example requires a file or a database table containing names and life dates of famous persons.

Language Program Director
A 'Language Program Director' (LPD) is an academic position in US universities. LPDs usually coordinate undergraduate language programs. Most LPDs are not on a tenure-track, due to the fact that traditionally linguistic studies have been considered by Departments of Foreign Languages and Literatures as less important than literary studies. According to a recent MLA report, [1] this is a trend that should be reversed. In the past LPD positions were generally filled by people with degrees in literature and no training in Second Language Acquisition or Applied Linguistics. This has resulted in a lack of innovation in US language programs. Recently, however, more and more universities are looking for new program directors with specific training in applied linguistics.

"Cronica de una muerte anunciada" resumen
La Hipocresía en Crónica de una Muerte Anunciada Joseph Hofmann El Colegio de Los Altos de Haddon

Crónica de una Muerte Anunciada es una novela de la muerte de la protagonista, Santiago Nasar. El autor, Gabriel García Márquez, investiga la hipocresía de las personas, sus personalidades, y los eventos que rodean la muerte de Santiago.

La novela por Gabriel García Márquez, Crónica de una Muerte Anunciada, explica la muerte extraña de Santiago Nasar. A través de la novela, aunque, hay situaciones de la hipocresía como el honor, los códigos sociales, la masculinidad, y la familia. La novela comunica todas las situaciones que son hipócritas. Crónica de una Muerte Anunciada analiza el tema de hipocresía por el honor. Hay muchas preguntas en la novela del honor. Por ejemplo, las personas no saben si los gemelos Vicarios deben matar Santiago porque, aunque la muerte es de honor, es todavía una muerte. La sociedad quieren decir Santiago pero no quieren porque piensan es una situación de honor. El sitio web “Casa Aleatoria” pregunta por qué nadie en el pueblo dice Santiago sobre su muerte. Esta situación es hipócrita porque la matanza es solo para venganza y no es para honor. Los códigos sociales en la novela son también hipócritas. Más importante, la idea de la masculinidad y como hombres pueden tener sexo antes de casamiento pero mujeres no pueden. En Crónica…, Ángela es golpeada por su madre porque ella tenía sexo. “Casa Aleatoria” menciona que porque Ángela tuvo relaciones sexuales, ella “ha dañado los bienes.” Santiago no es el objetivo de los gemelos porque el tenía sexo, aunque, pero porque el tomó la virginidad de Ángela Vicario. Así esta situación es hipócrita porque solo hombres pueden tener sexo antes de casamiento. Finalmente, hay hipocresía en el individuo. La familia Vicario demuestra hipocresía cuando ellos no están tristes sobre la muerte de la hermana Vicario. Sus tristeza es un mentir y la familia es aliviado que ellos no necesitan preocupar sobre una otra hija y su vida. La novela Crónica… reporta la hipocresía en el mundo. Gabriel García Márquez tienes hipocresía a un tema mayor y él utiliza este tema para mostrar la hipocresía de la cultura. Márquez muestra que la muerte de Santiago pudiera haber sido prevenida si todos no fueron unas hipócritas.

Orbiter (Camera seat)
The Orbiter in the sense of camera technique is a camera seat with a seated cameraman, swivelling on a low working height. The name Orbiter was originally used only as a label. However, due to the vast distribution of the product and resulting technical and economical success it achieved, in a short period of time Orbiter became a synonym of the swivelling camera seat.

A swivelling seat of the Orbiter is characterized by a patented principle of partial separation of the camera and the movable/swivelling seat. This ensures the natural vibrations of the camera operator to be absorbed and they are therefore transferred to the camera to a very small extent. The separation is achieved by a special mounting technique of the swivelling seat, due to which the occurring vibrations are transferred from the centre of the system to the external feet. With the currently used focal lengths of telephoto lenses with up to x101 zoom an optimum vibration resistance is vital for stable pictures. The closer the lens zooms on the object the more stable the camera support has to be. Otherwise the picture could wobble. The natural vibrations caused by the footwork of the cameraman are therefore unwanted and have to be kept away from the camera. Apart from the mechanical separation mentioned above, additional absorption membranes were inserted into the Orbiter system in the process of its development to ensure further picture stability.

In the process of construction and testing two things had to be considered simultaneously. Firstly, that the swivelling seat cannot be mounted on the camera column (in order to prevent mechanical overload and to reduce vibrations). Secondly, that the panning of the camera must take place on the same axis as the rotation of the swivelling seat. The existing systems do not combine both of the above mentioned principles of construction implemented in the Orbiter system.

The name ‘Orbiter’ was judged to be fitting for the positioning on the market and chosen to be the name of the product on multiple grounds. The cameraman is, in fact, in orbit around the camera. On the other hand, in the medical jargon, orbital means ‘concerning an eyeball’. A camera is indeed an electronic eye.

Thus, the name ‘Orbiter’ appropriately reflects the product’s functions and has, therefore, been selected on strategic marketing grounds.

Due to its capacity characteristics, efficiency and low failure rate the Orbiter system has become the most widely sold camera seat worldwide and it is being requested and recommended by various sport associations as standard equipment.

Under the Boardwalk (FC United of Manchester fanzine)
Under The Boardwalk is a fanzine charting the story of FC United of Manchester. To date there have been 14 issues with a haphazard print and distribution run and somewhat of an air of mystery. Contributors include: Stan Smith, Suede Shoes, RPL, Wolfie, Cobden, Frank Nero, Steve Wood, Anthony Leahy, Planty, The German Correspondent, Keg and many more. Famous names to have been interviewed by the fanzine are: Peter Hook of New Order, Mark E. Smith of The Fall, Karl Marginson, Justin Moorhouse, Mani of The Stone Roses and Primal Scream, Terry Christian, David Conn, and Lenin. Not the Lenin admittedly. The much talked of issue 13 is a rare edition and can change hands for upwards of £1.50 if you know the right buyer. Keep yours pristine if you have one. That could be your pension.
