Articles for creation/2006-11-09


Kenyth Lee Mogan (b. 9 April 1983) is an American writer and performer hailing Glasgow Montana. He is probably best known as the author of The Phoenix Chronicles Manga series published by Demented DragonDemented Dragon.

Personal Life

Raised in the quiet town of Glasgow in the North Eastern corner of Montana,with three younger sisters, Kenyth’s creativity was able to run wild. Broadway musicals, wonderland, the land of Oz, and even the world of Rainbow Brite contributed to an overactive imagination an unwillingness to compromise his view of the world. At fifteen Kenyth made the decision to come out of the closet as a homosexual. A’me Lorain’s single Follow My Heartbeat helped him to realize that he needed to follow his own dreams and ambitions and not just do what everyone else thought he should. The song is still an inspiration to him to this day. His best friend growing up is an amazing young woman named Echo Sampson, and through out their lives the two have traveled on many fabulous adventures together, including a year long internship at the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando Florida and an impromptu trip to New York City. It is his time in Florida that Kenyth says gave him the self confidence to find out just how far his creativity could take him. Currently, Kenyth is a senior at the University of Montana, Missoula majoring in Theatre.

Echo and Kenyth

Professional Career

Kenyth has always immersed himself in writing, his Mother would buy him notebooks for school in August, but by October they would be desecrated by stories, ideas, and songs. His first series The Phoenix Chronicles is a six graphic novel long series following the adventures of a young woman named Anastasya as she realizes she has magickal powers, is from another world, has not only fight, but lead an army to save this other world, and all while trying to hold on to some scrap of a normal teenage life.

At the age of 18 Kenyth was cast as a report in the Polish Brother’s film Northfork. In August 2006 Kenyth filmed his second movie, Strung, written and directed by Steven Vasquez, and produced by In The Pink Productions.

On 1 August 2006 Kenyth had his musical debut at Club Blender at the Palms in West Hollywood California, performing the song Billy B. The song was co written (and produced by) Devin Tait of Shitting_Glitter. Kenyth wrote the song after receiving a photograph of porn star Billy Brandt and his cousin jokingly saying how funny it would be if he actually dated the porn star.

Lago del Bosco

Lago del Bosco is an Italian immersion summer camp in Minnesota. It is currently lacking a permanent facility, and is renting Sandhill Lake Bible Camp near Fosston, Minnesota. Established in 2003 as a part of Concordia Language Villages, Lago del Bosco is attended by Italian learners from ages 7-18. "Lago del Bosco" means "Lake of the Woods" in Italian, as do the names of most of the other Concordia Language Villages. The camps are located next to different lakes in Minnesota. Two-week sessions are available for villagers of all ages. For high-school age villagers, a four-week credit session is available. The four-week session provides the equivalent of a full year of Italian learning, meeting the requirement of 180 hours. This time requirement is met through daily classes, study hour, music lessons, cultural games and activities, engaging mealtime skits, and other exposure to the Italian language. Counselors at Lago del Bosco speak Italian fluently. Many are native speakers who come to the US to be a part of Lago del Bosco, and others have learned the language studying in the US. Counselors must only speak in Italian around campers to encourage the immersion environment. They may speak English in emergencies and at a certain time with their cabin. Villagers at Lago del Bosco are arranged into cabins named after Italian cities. They are divided by session, gender, age, and special request. Each cabin has two counselors that are responsible for the villagers in the cabin. Villagers eat with their cabin at breakfast. For lunch and dinner, they are divided into families of mixed session, gender, and age with some counselors to act as "parents." Camp food is authentic Italian cuisine. Before each meal, a group of villagers presents a self-made skit to the other campers. The different courses of food that are being served at that meal are incorporated into the skit. At the end of every day, everyone gathers for an evening program. This usually consists of a campfire, with the singing of Italian songs. There is usually a dance every Friday at which popular Italian music is played. Campers at Lago del Bosco can have any level of experience with Italian, and can come from anywhere to attend the camp. In 2006, there were local villagers, from Minnesota, or farther out villagers, from California. Some came from different countries, such as Venezuela. The cost of Lago del Bosco is $710 for the 1-week session, $1,445 for the 2-week, and $3,215 for 4 weeks.

This entry looks like a directory entry for people specifically interested in a local singing group. It isn't at all clear why it should have a place as an international encylopaedia entry. If the group has acquired notable fame or has achieved something of objective interest to a wider audience, you should state it. There's not much to hold interest as the entry stands. --Astral highway 09:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Domus Academy

Domus Academy is an international postgraduate school of design based in

Milan, Italy that share the eminence of the Royal College of Art and today represents what Bauhaus (1919-1933) and the Ulm School (1955-1968) meant in their time. Founded in 1983 by Maria Grazia Mazzocchi along with Pierre Restany,Alessandro Mendini,Alessandro Guerriero and Valerio Castelli.

An innovative institution as the paradox of Italian design was that it had become a dominant influence in the world, yet no one taught it, except in the studios of individual designers. Over the last twenty years, Domus Academy has taught industrial design, fashion design, urban management and interactive design to hundreds of young people, coming from universities in Japan, China, Korea, America, Australia, Turkey and Israel as well as countries all over Europe.

Students are involved in the activities of the Domus Academy Research Center, distinguished by its pioneering studies on the separation and recycling of materials like plastic and design projects for services and computer functionality. Domus Academy teaches how to arrive at a product through studies on eco-compatibility, service and function rather than simply teach how to design a product in a traditional way

Baan Tawai at Chiang Mai

City of Chiang Mai (http://www.chiangmainews.com), after Bangkok the second largest city in Thailand (with population only under 200.000, comparing to Bangkok's close to 7 Mio people), is the lands' "northern capital". With many typical features of local culture, unusual leisure activities, lanna (as this part of country is known) food (http://www.lannacafe.org), local markets and shopping, featuring special local items and handicraft or handmade items of great variety, Chiang Mai area is the must stop in Thailand for most of the tourist or business people who come to Thailand. Along with the beaches of south, 24-7 busy and awake, energetic Bangkok, with only 55 minutes long flight from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport (http://www.airportthai.co.th) Chiang Mai is easily accessible and it's visit completes the journey of major destinations in Thailand.
Leisure searchers in CM area can choose from options like elephant riding, rafting, or visit a center for extreme sports (http://www.chiangmai-xcentre.com). Anyone can become a shopper in Thailand easily. Typical shopping items for tourists are handicrafts, silk products, ceramics, carvings, wood products - they can be found in small shops and market places around the city. However, Baan Tawai with surrounding area and places along the way to village of Hang Dong, 15 minutes drive from the city by the south-bound highway, is the center for local handicrafts, ceramic and wood-art shops, or places selling antiques. Tourist come here to find cheap but interesting gift items - wooden toys, figures, vases, plates, carvings, ceramics, decorative objects and accessories. Some shops offer huge vases and pots, or different kinds of ceramics for garden or porch, or indoor display. Items of a higher historic or artistic value are often found available. Teak wood products have here a long tradition. Teak wood is the commodity of choice for craftsmen making wood carvings and also furniture makers. Antique furniture shops scattered around the area carry a lot of furniture from British colonial era (http://www.goldentriangle.co.th). The British colonized the neighboring Burma, along with other places around the region in the period of 1870s-1940s. They influenced the local architecture as well as the interior design.
Baan tawai does not need to be presented as a place for shopping only - it is a place which provides for the visitor an insight to local temporary and historic art, the wood - workmanship which has a long tradition here, along with a variety of other unusual items and products of the local craftsmen.

I was educated at Poole Grammar School in Dorset before going to the Univeristy of Bristol where I spent six years (BSc, Bristol (1975); PhD, Bristol (1978, with Professor Selby Knox and Professor Gordon Stone). I then spent two years as a SRC-NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of California, Berkeley, USA (1978-80) in the laboratories of Professor Peter Vollhardt before taking up a position in Sheffield back in the UK, where I am a senior lecturer in chemistry. I was the RSC Sir Edward Frankland Fellow for 1986 and 1987 and the Royal Society of Chemistry HE award winner for 1998.

Both addresses are, however, spammed to pretty well to death and mail to these accounts is largely devoured by automatic viscious spam eaters. the reaction between potassium chlorate, sugar, iron filings, and titanium powder My web sites

WebElements

   The periodic table on the WWW. My first site. Running since 1993, although its origins lie in a HyperCard program (MacElements) I started work upon around 1989. Currently shows up as 2nd entry on Google key word search for "chemistry" and 1st for "periodic table"

Sheffield Chemdex

   In essence an expanded version of my Bookmarks, and now database driven. It's a list of several thousand chemistry web sites. Running since 1993, I think.

Sheffield Chemputer

   Some online chemistry calculators. Based upon some algorithms dreamed up for use in MacElements. Calculates isotope patterns, VSEPR shapes, MXLZ classification, oxidation numbers, and so on. About to get shifted to an apache/PHP/MySQL system from the original cgi version.

The Orbitron

   Ray-traced images and animations representing atomic orbitals and a few molecular orbitals. Some pf the pictures are quite pretty. If nothing else the images show that orbitals are not thin, as they tend to be represented in text books, (yes, I know, including my own books). Done in Pov-Ray using an isosurface patch.

MolBase

   This one is new. It's a database of molecules (or perhaps environments within molecules) contributed by students. The beauty is that it calculates quite a few of the key properties of a contributed structure. This allows various aggregated statistical charts to be displayed of coordination numbers, oxidation states, MXLZ classifications, and so on.

The Symmetron

   Nearly ready! In fact it's been nearly ready for the best part of a year now. Ray-traced images and animations representing symmtetry operations as applied to simple molecules. Done in Pov-Ray.

Sheffield Collegiate Cricket Club

   Some regard cricket as a life and death thing. Not so, it's far more important. This is where I play cricket and was the first cricket club in the world to have a web site (1993). Initially a flat HTML system, it's been through various incarnations since then, including phpWebSite and now PostNuke. I may shift it back to phpWebSite at some point, or experiment with Xaraya perhaps.

My books

I've written three shorts text books, all in the Oxford University Press chemistry primer series.

Chemical Bonding

   My first book. An expanded version of an introductory course on bonding I give here in Sheffield.

Migration reactions are an important fundamental class of reactions in organometallic chemistry. Our current main research thrust concerns migrations of hydride and alkyl groups to metal coordinated carbene (see Scheme 1) in processes which result in new alkyl ligands. To date, most of our work has involved molybdenum (see Scheme 2 for an example), tungsten, iron, and ruthenium. Scheme 1 Scheme 2

Such reactions are models for some important C--H and C--C bond formation processes but surprisingly little is known about these rearrangements. We are particularly concerned to discover the the mechanisms by which they proceed. These migrations are the reverse of α-elimination reactions and we now find that some of the above products α-eliminate under photochemical excitation to regenerate the initial carbene starting materials.

Many of the compounds are somewhat air-sensitive. The work has a large synthetic component but research workers use mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy extensively for characterization and monitoring. We also make great use of the Department X-ray crystallographic service.

A recent interest concerns applications of the 'World Wide Web' (WWW) for chemistry. This is an international hypertext networked information system that show great promise for information movement in chemistry. Selected Publications

Cofactor Expansion

Cofactor expansion, also known as Determinant Expansion by Minors or Laplacian Expansion, is a convenient method of calculating the determinant of a matrix.

To calculate a determinant by cofactor expansion, one begins with a matrix one would like to find the determinant for:

M =

One then "crosses out" a selected row and column that intersect at particular entry. For example, removing the first row and first column of M, which intersect at the 1,1 entry of M gives the following submatrix:

The determinant of this submatrix is known as the minor of entry M11. In this case Det(M11) = -33

One then multiplies the minor by the factor (-1)i+j where i is the number of the row deleted and j is the number of the column deleted. In this case i = 1 and j = 1. This product (-1)i+j * det(M11) is known as the cofactor of M11. In this case, the cofactor of M11 is (-1)1+1 * -33 = -33

To finish calculating the determinant, one selects a row or column (it may simplify matters to choose one with many zeros) and multiplies the entries of that row by their cofactors and sums the products.

For example, Det M = [M11 * cofactor(M11)] + [M21 * cofactor(M21)] + [M31 * cofactor(M31)]

or

Det M = [M11 * cofactor(M11)] + [M12 * cofactor(M12)] + [M13 * cofactor(M13)]
Det M = [6 * -33] + [4 * 27] + [2 * -3]
Det M = -96

Margaret Chan

Dr Margaret Chan, born in Hong Kong, from the People's Republic of China, obtained her Medical Degree from the University of Western Ontario in Canada. She joined the Hong Kong Department of Health in 1978, where her career in public health began.

In 1994, Margaret Chan was appointed to Director of Health of Hong Kong. In her nine-year tenure as director, she launched new preventive and promotive health care services. She also introduced new initiatives to improve communicable disease surveillance and response, enhance training for public health professionals, and to establish better local and international collaboration. She has effectively managed outbreaks of avian influenza and of severe acute respiratory syndrome.

In 2003, Margaret Chan became WHO's Director of the Department of Protection of the Human Environment. In June 2005, she was appointed as Director, Communicable Diseases Surveillance and Response as well as Representative of the Director-General for Pandemic Influenza. She now continues in the role as Representative along with the duties as Assistant Director-General for the Communicable Diseases cluster.

In July 2006, Margaret Chan took a leave of absence from WHO, in relation to her candidacy for the position of WHO Director-General. The position of Director-General will be decided upon by the World Health Assembly on 9 November. Until that decision is made, Dr David Heymann is Acting Assistant Director-General for Communicable Diseases.

In November 2006, Margaret Chan was selected as the WHO Director-General, making her the first Chinese national chosen for such a high-ranking U.N. post.

Snapshots from Hell - The making of an MBA

IF HARVARD Business School is the West Point of Capitalism, and Stanford is the Yale of the West, that makes Stanford Business School--Hell!! Well, atleast according to Peter Robinson, it's Sheer Agony and the inscription over the portals should be, "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here." For that's how Mr. Robinson sees himself there, as a poet in Hell(read Stanford).

Poets, in B-school slang, are the few members of the first-year class who come, economically speaking, from disadvantaged backgrounds. They are career-shifting English majors or track-jumping corporate types or, in Mr. Robinson's case, speechwriters leaving the Reagan White House. At Stanford, they are up against the financial whiz' who are already comfortable with spread sheets and other quantifiable esoterica. The competition between the two cultures is dreadfully unfair and Mr. Robinson records it here at painful length.

The purpose of this volume, as suggested by Mr. Robinson, is to answer the question: "What is business school like?" And he does. And given the author's tour as a phrase-maker for the Great Communicator, it's not surprising to find the tale told in crisp, post-collegiate prose.

Tom George Kolath
He is a national award winner for best film  maker.  He is an actor/producer/writer/director.Born Tom George Kolath, on Dec 24th, 1970, to Dr K. M. George and Chinnamma George, he was raised along with his siblings Mary, Mathai, Abraham, Anna and Elizabeth, in a loving, traditional family in Palghat, a small town in Kerala, one of the southern states of India. While still a child, George was fascinated by the world of movies. As he grew older, the fascination only deepened and turned into a serious pursuit. But a traditional Indian family, which is known not only for its warmth and security but also for its tough love, lays stress on education. George's parents insisted he first get a world-class education before pursuing other choices.

And so, George gathered a string of degrees, which include undergraduate program in India, Bachelors in Accounting from Binghamton, State University of New York and an MBA from Columbia University. He also became an active member of National Society of Public Accountants and set up a business in New York City practicing Income Tax. Expanding the business further, he opened three plush offices in the City of New York and Long Island. With a solid financial backing in place, he was ready to launch his movie career.

After having lived in U.S. for over 10 years, George decided to get in touch with his roots once more and moved to India in 2001. There he took every opportunity to learn more about the technical aspects of filmmaking. He went to act in a string of movies, T.V. serials and produced many of them too. Making of Akale (2004), an adaptation of Tennessee William's "Glass Menagerie", was a learning experience for him. It hit home the fact that a great movie may never hit box office bonanza, but the praise and the recognition accorded it provides the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Perseverance and kinship with the community of new and budding movie makers inspired George to stay the course and further polish his skill. Not surprisingly, he acquired a diploma in Filmmaking from Hollywood Film Institute in March 2005. His most recent work is a short film named Lessons which sends the social message of condemning child abuse and the psychological impact thereof on a child's mind.

He is a busy man these days, shuttling frequently between New York and Kerala, to launch his latest directorial venture titled Gandhi Park. The movie will star a mix of cast from Hollywood and the Indian movie industry nicknamed Bollywood. Gandhi Park is a contemporary, cross-cultural romantic comedy. At heart, it is a passionate and soulful love story that deals with the realities when an Indian girl and an American white boy fall in love, the family tension that ensues, the inherent conflict of cultures, the pressures of going against family traditions that are set in stone.
