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. Alan was born in Abingdon, Pennsylvania and grew up in North East Philadelphia, attending private schools in Yardley and Philadelphia. His family moved to Matthews, North Carolina where he graduated from David W. Butler High School, as a North Carolina Academic Scholar. After graduation, he went to Appalachian State University, maintaining a GPA above 3.3 and earning the ASU Local Government Alumni Scholarship my sophomore year. After College, Alan accepted a position in the North Carolina Legislature, serving as the legislative aide to the State House member who represented District 103. During that time, his roots in the district grew even deeper, with relationships built with dozens of elected officials, town staff, precinct officials, and the general public. During the near two years he served in the State House, Alan addressed hundreds of citizen complaints and constituent service requests. He quickly learned that the wheels of progress do in fact turn quite slowly, and that he wanted to affect change by serving the citizens of House District 103 as their Representative. From a young age, Alan knew he had a calling to public service. While barely a high school student, he began his involvement on campaigns and worked as an intern for the State Treasurer. Throughout high school and beyond, Alan assumed numerous leadership roles within the Republican Party, including chairman of the Teenage Republicans of Mecklenburg County, Campus Director and later Chairman of the Appalachian State University College Republicans, Regional Director of the North Carolina Young Republicans and Vice-Chairman of the Mecklenburg Young Republicans. He was also tapped to serve as campaign chairman for the Mecklenburg County Republican Party and is a voting member of the State Republican Party's Executive Committee. Within a week of turning 18 and registering to vote, Alan was appointed to his first government advisory board. He served on the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council and was later appointed by the Mecklenburg County Commission by a 9-0 vote to serve an additional two year term. He also served terms on the City of Charlotte's Neighborhood Matching Grants Review Team as well as on the Board of Directors for Kids Voting-Mecklenburg. Besides serving in the Legislature, Alan joined his family Real Estate Firm and became a licensed Real Estate Broker. He also holds a Notary Public license for the State of North Carolina and has done consulting for various Republican candidates across North Carolina. On September 25, 2007, Alan Teitleman announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for the 103rd House Seat in the North Carolina General Assembly. That seat, which has been held by Jim Gulley since 1996, encompasses the towns of Matthews and Mint Hill, as well as parts of East Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

Klaus Bechgaard

Klaus Bechgaard (born March 5, 1945 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a Danish scientist and chemist, noted for being one of the first scientists in the world to synthesize a number of organic charge transfer complexes and demonstrate their superconductivity, threreof the name Bechgaard salt. These salts all exhibit superconductivity at low temperatures.

The first unconventional superconductor composed of organic material, was discovered by Bechgaard and Denis Jerome in 1979. This discovery garnered attention in the international scientific community, and for a period he was one of the most quoted scientists in the field of natural sciences. He also recieved a nomination for the Nobel Prize in chemistry for this discovery.

Research

Klaus Bechgaard did research at the University of Copenhagen, where he also held a Professorship in organic chemistry until 1993. From 1993 until 2000 he was the chairman of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at Risø and in 2001 he was appointed head of the newly assigned Department of Polymer Research at Risø. From 2001 and onwards he has been the head of Risø's nano technology programme, and The Danish Center of Polymers which is a joint venture between the Technical University of Copenhagen and Risø.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog is the caption of a famous The New Yorker cartoon published on 5 July 1993 and authored by Peter Steiner. The cartoon shows two dogs, one sitting on a chair in front of a computer speaking the caption to a second dog sitting on the floor

The cartoon symbolizes an understanding of the internet that stresses the ability of users to send and receive messages in general obscurity, despite how little anonymity the internet actually provides.

As of 2000, the panel was the most reproduced cartoon from The New Yorker. It has been called an adage.

Ryan Naumenko

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. Ryan Naumenko (AKA BiG TEK). Born 13th April 1983, Moe, Victoria, Australia. Ryan Naumenko, was born April 13th 1983 to a european family in the small country town of Moe, Victoria, Australia. Beginning life as someone who got pushed around at school, Naumenko, soon developed a circle of friends in Melbourne (2 hours away) to start gaining power and respect. His criminal career started at the age of 15. He began by selling stolen computers, game consoles, various weapons and new release CDs to the school community. He quickly grew from somebody who was disrespected to someone with alot more influence. Once school had been completed (I beleive year 12 or so), he began work as a co-manager of a nightclub in his home town, Moe. The owners of the club were associated with various Melbourne street crews and were known mafioso. Manager and friend Tony Ambesi at the time was known for narcotics distribution, another person known only as "Zladi" (Zlatko Besic) controlled the sales of Speed, Ecstasy and Marijuana from Noble Park to Traralgon, both places in Victoria about 2 hours apart. Naumenko saw this as a chance to open a door to something different, and so he began associating with the Melbourne underworld. In 2005, Naumenko, was arrested and charged by the Embona Taskforce, a group of various skilled detectives set up to inflitrate the money laundering ring (scam) he was involved in. They approached him as he pulled up in his sky blue Mercedes Benz and proceeded to draw weapons upon him to force him out of the car. The "Herald Sun", a major Melbourne newspaper, published a story about 1 month after the arrest, read the story here. Naumenko claimed in court to have never spoken to the Herald Sun about what happened and claims to this day the Herald Sun had no authority to publish the story as it made him out to be a "rat". Naumenko, is now the CEO of independant record label "XXL Records Australia". He began this label from his own funds and is currently a major supporter in the fight to get kids off the street. It seemed for a while that Naumenko was changing his life, until recent incidents occured. XXL has been under the close watch by many other small labels in the game, and Naumenko has been accused of funelling illegal funds through the label and donating it to various charities in the name of XXL Recordings. Also known in the hiphop circle as "BiG TEK", it is vary rare to see him at any clubs without undercover armed securuity guards hired from a major international security company to protect him from people in the hiphop community. As well as professional security guards he is regularly seen with two Melbourne and New York underworld figures, being good friend Dominic "Mimi" Scialo and the other Christopher Liberatore. Both associates are involved deeply in the "Columbo Crime Family" based in New York. Naumenko is also an "Australian Soldier" for the afore mentioned crime family, and therefore answers to Thomas "Tommy Shots" Gioeli if called upon. Naumenko, has now hired "high class" gangland lawyer, Zarah Garde-Wilson to represent him in upcomming court cases. Garde-Wilson has acted for underworld figures Carl Williams and also Tony (Antonias) Mokbel and has recently appeared in Australias "GQ" Magzaine. It is unclear if Naumenko is involved with either person (Mokbel or Williams). Mr. Naumenko continues to be a player in the underworld, he is very intelligent and very rarely will slip up. He has been arrested and charge 16 time to date, and has not served on day of jail time.

Irish Ghetto Milan

The Irish Ghetto Milan is a small area in the Navigli district of South Central Milan which is home to Milan's greatest concentration of 'Italo-Irlandese' immigrants.

The heart of the Irish Ghetto in Milan encompasses the streets 'Via Vigevano' and 'Via Corsico', the latter being home to the infamous 'Casa Irlandese'. The bespoke 'Casa Irlandese' has been notably referred to in works of Italo Svevo and James Joyce who brought the Casa to life, scribing it as 'the durtiest of ghettos with the durtiest of burds to ever have set foot in the 'bel paese'. Today the 'Casa Irlandese' retains the memories of times past with its dilapidated interior and undesirable tenants, the majority of whom are female. Despite the rough character of the 'Casa Irlandese', the dwellers keep a relatively low key profile, living in peace with the neighbouring Roma and Crusty Communities - none of which wish to attract the attention of the ever vigilant Vigilanza Città di Milano authority.

Although life can be tough in the Irish Ghetto Milan, its residents maintain their own ways of escaping from the day to day reminders of their truly depressing and futile existence. The inhabitants of the 'Casa Irlandese' are easily spotted drowning their sorrows alongside their Italian down-and-out counterparts in 'Bradipo', a shady watering hole on Via Vigevano which is renowned for serving a ferosciously potent Negroni Sbagliato. One of the Italo-Irlandese, who has requested to remain anonymous for legal reasons, devotes much of his free time to egg-chasing, an up and coming adventure sport in italy which originates from the fields of Rathmines and Ranelagh in Ireland. Also worthy of note is the 'Irish Cenacolo'or 'Irish Last Supper' which derives its name from the occasion on which it is held, the last Sunday of the month that is. The 'Irish Cenacolo' is, however, an endangered event with growing competetion from the attractive Senegalese and Navigli Markets, where local sellers display antique furniture, mini tricycles and other categories of bric-a-brac.

Despite its long reigning tenure in the Navigli area, the Irish Ghetto is, however, entering an uncertain period in its history with many of it chief founders rumoured to be planning their return to Ireland within the coming 12 months. The legacy of the Irish Ghetto Navigli will, no doubt, live on; in the form of the annual Navigli St. Patrick’s Day Parade and quarterly art exhibitions at the Pinacoteca di Brera.
