If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. Elizabeth M. Chandler (1807 – 1834) was a famous American Quaker writer who was also an active member in the abolitionist movement of the United States. After her parents died while she was still a child, she attended the Friend's school after being taken care of by extremely formidable Quaker relatives, and fully embraced their antislavery policy. She helped begin Michigan's first antislavery association in 1830, advocating the complete integration of Black into American society. Most of her written work had appeared under anonymous, though after her death, they were finally published, by Lundy, under her name. One of her poems appears on a poster portraying the abolitionist movement: "Can we behold, unheeding, Life's holiest feelings crush'd;-- While Woman's heart is bleeding, Shall Woman's voice be hush'd?"

Tommy Jammer is a retired American professional wrestler who competed in Midwest regional promotions including Pro Wrestling America and the American Wrestling Association in the late 1980s.

Career

Trained by Eddie Sharkey during the mid-1980s, he was one of several wrestlers as part of a talent exchange agreement between Sharkey and AWA promoter Greg Gagne to make his debut in the last years of the AWA. Participating in a 17-man Battle Royal to crown a new AWA World Heavyweight Champion in St. Paul, Minnesota on February 7, 1989 , Jammer was the first man to be eliminated.

He did, however, score one of his first victories in the promotion defeating Mike Enos almost two weeks later in Marshfield, Wisconsin on February 18 and, in a tag team match with Derrick Dukes, defeated Badd Company resulting in Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond splitting up in Rochester, Minnesota on May 6, 1989.

Feuding with Jonnie Stewart during his early months in the promotion, he defeated Stewart at AWA War in the Windy City on June 23 and was later schedualed to face him at the CNE Coliseum in Toronto, Canada on December 6 although Paul Diamond substituted him when he was unable to make the event.

During the next year, Jammer appeared on several AWA supercards loosing to Tully Blanchard at SuperClash 4 on April 8 and wrestled in numerous matches as part of Baron von Raschke's Baron's Blitzers during the Team Challenge Series, eventually facing Larry's Legends (Destruction Crew & The Texas Hangmen) in an 8-man "Behind the 8-Ball" tag team elimination match on September 10, 1990. He would also feud with AWA World Heavyweight Champion Larry Zbyszko before he left the promotion in December 1990. Jammer would wrestle his last match with the AWA in Bloomington, Minnesota loosing to Larry Cameron on May 3, 1991.

Like many other AWA wrestlers, Jammer began to wrestle with the Minneapolis-based Pro Wrestling America after the AWA folded in 1990. He continued to wrestle in the Minnesota area during the early 1990s, winning the NSW Tag team titles with Baron von Raschke, although he would eventually retire by the end of 1994.

Kostas Petrou (The Greek Tank)

Kostas Petrou is a former Midland area and British welterweight boxing champion. He was born in London to Greek Cypriot parents. He defeated Rocky Kelly in 1985 to win the British title. He was the first person of Greek Cypriot origin to win the British title. Out of 37 professional fights, he won 30, stopping 12 within the distance. He also fought for the Commonwealth title, losing to Sylvester Mittee on points, which also cost him the British title. Petrou was the number one contender for the European title at the time. He fought former world champion Lloyd Honeyghan early in his career, losing narrowly on points. Petrou also fought Ensley Bingham (who went on to fight Ronald 'Winky' Wright for the World Title), stopping him in the 7th round of the contest, something which Wright failed to do. Petrou acquired the nickname 'The Greek Tank' as he had a reputation of driving through his opponents, gradually wearing them down in an all-action style. In 2002, Petrou won the Past Boxer of the Year Award, given by the British Boxing Board of Control.

Ashake (Marvel Comics)

This request for creation has been declined. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. New Mutants Ashake was an ancient Egyptian Sorceress who made her first debut in New Mutants #32. In her first appearance, she encountered the New Mutants Magik and Mirage. As a result of a teleportation malfunction, Magik and Mirage were sent back in time to ancient Cairo, Egypt, where they were immediately chased by Egyptian guards. They were rescued due to an illusion spell cast by Ashake. The sorceress then welcomed the young women into her home, where Magik immediately noted the Uncanny resemblance she had to Ororo Munroe. Ashake explained to the mutants that she is an ancestor of Ororo Munroe, saying she is her granddaughter although many generations removed. She also said that it was she who drew them back , stating that she felt them tumbling through time. After their discussion, Ashake offered them both sanctuary and a way to get back home. The next morning, Ashake used a guiding and teleportation spell to send the young mutants back to their time. Mystic Arcana Ashake’s New Mutants debut was later greatly enhanced and slightly altered for the magic-based mini-series “Mystic Arcana”. In this version, Ashake is seen as the creator of Tarot Cards, using them to find Magik and Mirage. Shortly after saving them, she gives them refuge, and while Mirage sleeps, Magik goes to find Ashake. Ashake then uses her one-on-one time with Magik to explain her matrilineal powers, her devotion to the Gods, especially Ma’at, and attempts to give Magik hope for the darkness within her. However, their talk is interrupted when Ashake senses the evil sorcerer, Heka Nut, coming for them. After cloaking Mirage in an invisibility spell, the two women attempt to hold back Heka Nut’s minions assault, but they fail and both are captured. While in captivity, Heka Nut informs them that he wants the Sword of Bone, a sword of raw power that is one of the cornerstones of creation. He commands the two women to get the sword for him, taking Ashake’s soul hostage to ensure a deal. Despite pleas from Ashake, Magik reluctantly agrees to the quest, and the two go on to fetch the sword for the sorcerer. Having retrieved the Sword of Bone, they then give it to Heka Nut. But since the sword only works for those of pure spirit, it transformed back to its original state, since it left Ashake’s hands and entered his. With Heka Nut distracted, Magik attacked him, severing him from his powers and freeing Ashake’s soul from his grip. But instead of killing him, Ashake explained that he was once a good man and mediator for the Gods, but that his power tempted him and the fault is not the “urn’s” but its maker. With his brilliant mind shattered, Heka Nut then aimlessly wanders off into the desert, and Ashake bottles his dark magic into a mystic urn, giving it to the sphinx Ammut for safe keeping. Wishing them well, Ashake uses a guiding spell, and sends the girls on their way. Present Day Return With Ian Mcnee gathering all of the cornerstones needed, he then, with the aid of Morgan Le Fey, Llyra, and Ashake, uses their power to restore Heka Nut, using himself as a vessel. But Oshtur is revealed to have really been Chthon in disguise, and says that now Heka Nut will consume Ian, making him his slave and the perfect vessel to bring the world to him. But Ian Mcnee calls for the aid of the Sorceress Morgan Le Fey, Llyra, and surprisingly, Ashake, who has literally flown through time for this final fight. Morgan Le Fey and Llyra proceed to bind Chthon, while Ashake reasons with Heka Nut, reminding him of the friendship they once had, and the man he once was. Heka Nut then remembers his past and that it was his jealousy of Ashake and Chthon’s promises that made him turn evil. Utilizing their strength, Ian and Heka Nut hold back the ritual, and Ashake frees Heka Nut with the Sword of Bone. Ian then banishes Chthon, but since one of the relics was of the Elder God’s power, Ian’s own soul was tainted and Ashake had not returned to her own time. Then, before their eyes, the true Oshtur appears and says that all hope is not lost, and that they should be proud and rest. She explains that Ashake is now present to help Ian, due to the fact that his soul is tainted and the cornerstones of the magic universe still must be saved. The book CROSSROADS is expected to continue with the journey of the two sorcerers. Powers and Abilities Ashake is a very powerful white magic sorceress. It was said in Mystic Arcana: Nico Minoru that she was trained by the very Gods themselves although her favorite appears to be Ma’at a.k.a. Oshtur. Ashake has displayed many different magical skills due to invoking the names of deities. Some of the known spell feats she has performed are invisibility, shield generation, illusion casting, premonition, telepathy, summoning the mystic creature Ammut, and the ability to see into the future via Tarot Cards. Ashake has only ever used white magic. Her spirit has been said to be pure and she has successfully wielded the Sword of Bone.

Biography

This request for creation has been declined. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. Early Life Carter was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Susan K. Nipstad. He has a younger brother, Michael Lopez, a professional baseball player. He has Norwegian and German ancestry and was raised in the Lutheran religion. He grew up in the Los Angeles suburb of Camarillo, California where he attended Adolfo Camarillo High School, graduating with honors in 1992. Career Carter began his Aerospace career in 1993 when he began serving in the United States Air Force and helped develop G.P.S. technology while working with satellites. In late 1996, Carter left the Air Force to pursue a flying career. While attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Carter met Lucas M. Bryant, an Air Force Academy grad and meteorologist. It was during this time that Carter and Bryant began work on the STD Index. This index, short for Severe Thunderstorm Development has been lauded as a major break-through in aviation safety by the National Transportation and Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Athority by giving pilots the information needed to choose to abstain from or continue on with a flight. The following year, Carter was honored with the prestigious Daniel T. Reed Award for aviation innovation by the Airplane Owner & Pilots Association. Previous award winners include Mike Sullivan a NASA test pilot who is credited with developing ECLIPS Experimental Cloud Lidar Pilot Study, which was initiated to obtain statistics on cloud-base height, extinction, optical depth, cloud brokenness, and surface fluxes. After the success of the STD index, Carter toured the world as a public speaker and consulted with various aviation companies. The professional success Mr. Carter shared with Lucas Bryant didn't last however, as Bryant felt overshadowed by the attention Carter received and virtually faded from the national scene, opting instead to start his own company, LBC-YA, inc. The once promising duo, now working independent of each other, never again reached the professional heights they did as a team. In 2004, Carter created Cardiff Giant, and has served as technical advisor on many high-grossing Hollywood hits including The Aviator, Made and Grandma's Boy Sources The Severe Thunderstorm (STD) Index STD Index, NASA findings 72.40.70.110 06:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC) Declined.

Ole Haraldsson

<This is actually a translation of the already existing article in German. I was rather surprised to find it isn`t available in anything but German and Swedish. I´m not the author of the article, I´m merely convinced it needs translation. If you could also proof-read my English, the article could only gain of it.>

Ole Haraldsson, (* 993; † around 1017 in Gudbrandsdal) was an elder half-brother to the later-to-be king of Norway Olav II. Haraldsson. He was killed by ravaging peasants in Gudbrandsdal while in prayer. He is considered one of the most important local patron saints until Reformation.

Life

Ole was born to the norwegian maid Trine, who had a short affair with Ole´s father, the danish petty king Harald Grenske; this at least is the version of a fragmented Vita Sancti Olei [1] from the later archbishop of Trondheim/Nidaros` library. When Harald`s legitimate wife Åsta uncovered their relationship, Trine and young Ole were banned from court. According to the Vita Sancti Olei they were sold to Iceland als slaves (traelle).

Hvidtfeldt`s "Danmarks Rigis Krönnike" [2] relates, based on a complete edition of Vita Sancti Olei (which probably fell victim to the Copenhagen Library Fire of 1728), that Ole converted to Christendom on Iceland around the year 1000 and returned to Norway around 1010 as blind passenger. Here he went to his brother`s court and revealed his identity as the king`s brother. This resulted in his brother almost immediately ordering his death. Ole was able to flee and spent the next years hiding in the dales of Telemark. During his morning prayer he was slain by hired killers in the employ of his brother in a barn in Gudbrandsdal.

Aftermath

Although supported by various circles to create a counterweigth to the national [Saint Olav], Ole`s canonization was never successful. Only in Gudbrandsdal a limited cult of Ole the Saint existed for any protracted length of time, it´s peak doubtlessly marked by the bad-latin Vita Sancti Olei, which`s only remaining fragment disappeared from the library of Oslo University in 1945 under unclear circumstances. For reasons unknown a temporary reverence of Saint Ole could also be found in Nyköbing/Mors in Denmark. [3]

Center on Wealth and Philanthropy

History

File:BCtypography2lines.png

The Center on Wealth is located at Boston College.

Located on the campus of Boston College, the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy (CWP) is a multidisciplinary research center specializing in the study of spirituality, wealth, philanthropy, and other aspects of cultural life in an age of affluence [3]. Founded in 1970, CWP is a recognized authority on the relation between economic wherewithal and philanthropy, the motivations for charitable involvement, and the underlying meaning and practice of care. Currently, the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy is conducting a survey entitled "The Joys and Dilemmas of Wealth" meant to explore the motivations for giving by people with more than $25 million in assets [4].

"Joys and Dilemmas of Wealth" Study

The CWP is conducting a study on households with a net worth of at least $25 million. A major goal of this study is to generate knowledge about the attitudes, practices, and personal philosophy of ultra high net worth households, especially concerning philanthropy. The CWP claims that this is the first substantial study of wealth holders at this level [5]. The study has been cited in the media due to the involvement of the Gates Foundation with the funding of this project [6].

Notable Staff

Undiscovered Ruins Syndrome

A phenomenon that occurs during and after the Requirements Elicitation phase of Software Engineering and/or Systems Engineering, in which a proposed solution elicits the desire to add new requirements (the "undiscovered ruins"). This phenomenon can continue indefinitely until limited by project constraints (usually budget). Comparable in some sense to Expected Breakthroughs, as in the question "how many undiscovered ruins are there"? See also User and Developer Syndrome.
