[edit] GigaTuesday
Giga Tuesday , February 5, 2008 is the date of the largest number of scheduled presidential primaries in American political history. Many pundits expect the winner of these multistate primaries will have a commanding lead to become the 2008 presidential nominee of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
Politicians in other states have long felt the positioning of the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary at the start of the nominating process gave those states undue influence. As a result starting in 1988 a number of southern states organized the first Super Tuesday set of multistate primaries. Prior to 2008 some of the very largest states, such as California, New York, Illinois and New Jersey felt their influence on the nominating process would be diminshed if they held their primaries late in the process, hence they decided to hold their 2008 primaries shortly after the 2008 New Hampshire primary.
As of early March 2007, it appeared as many as 20 states would be choosing delegates to either the Republican National Convention or the Democratic National Convention on that date.
Some states that did not schedule their primaries or caucuses on February 5 scheduled them in close proximity, such as Nevada Republicans who scheduled a caucus for February 7, 2008 , hoping to gain added influence. [1]
The massive scale of GigaTuesday is expected to impact the presidential nomination race by forcing lesser known candidates to gain exposure earlier in the campaign, as well as benefiting those candidates able to finance a multistate advertising blitz. [2]
The term "GigaTuesday" was coined by a contributor named "Ironman" to Patrick Ruffini's blog on February 17, 2007. [3].The comparison was to the computer usage of "giga" as a massively large number. The term quickly became widely used by national bloggers and newswriters.[4] [5]

[edit] Nihon Joshidagku (Japan Women's University)
Nihon Joshidagku or Japan Women's University, was founded by Naruse Jinzo, a Japanese intellect, who at the age of seventeen decided to dedicate his life to promoting the education of women. Naruse visited women's colleges in the United States and found inspiration for his college there. He was supported in his endeavor by Okuma Shigenobu, the Prime Minister of Japan in 1898 and by Saionji Kimmochi, the Minister of Education. While Nihon Joshidagku was a private school, it was not a religious institution like other private schools in Japan at this time. This school's course focused on four subject areas: literature, English, domestic science and pedagogy. Naruse believed women should be educated so they could perform their ideological duty of "good wife, wise mother" more efficiently and correctly. Naruse believed that his students should be taken away from the daily family life during their education. He established a dormitory system in which twenty-five pupils would room at a house which was supervised by a matron. One of the graduates of Nihon Joshidagku was Hiratsuka Raicho.

[edit] Macedonian Thrace Brewery
Macedonian Thrace Brewery
The innovative idea of establishing a brewery in Greece belongs to Demetri Politopoulos and his family. Demetri Politopoulos, a brew master himself who has graduated from the well - known Siebel Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois, was determined to enrich the economical and industrial life of his country with a Brewery, since Greece is one of the very few countries in the world that didn't produce it's own beer until now.
Thus, the first Greek Brewery was established in Rodopi where, according to tradition, the first Greek beer was produced in Ancient Times, and gave birth to Vergina beer.

[edit] Mark Dale
Born in Nottingham, 1982, Mark Dale's early cricket career pinnacle was being selected to represent England youth aged just 15. Unfortunately his early promise was halted as the death of his father one year later stalled his development as a young player. However his talent did get recognition firstly with his native county Nottinghamshire CCC and then at Worcestershire CCC, although strong performances were not consistent.
Dale studied at the University of Durham after failing to make a notable impression on the game as a teenager. However, it was Greame Fowler, head coach of the Durham University Cricketing Centre of Excellence that gave Dale new oppourtunities to excell at first class level. Although Dale achieved a degree, his cricket career diminshed within 3 years in academia owing much to a back injuy in 2004.
Dale settled in the North and plays league cricket for Benwell Hill Cricket Club and Northumberland CCC after a disappointing career average of 27 from only 6 first class matches, http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/columns/content/player/12326.html

[edit] Artist Development
Artist Development is a division of a record label's A&R department. Originally created to help the artists signed by the label grow in a progressively positive direction. In the late 1980's, artist development was moved out from under the A&R umbrella to become part of the marketing departments of labels, focusing more on product development.
Since the early 1990s, label objectives changed, and the artists signed were those with more immediate profitability. Artists seen as already developed, or developed enough, were signed with more pressure placed on the success of their first release, and dropped if the album failed to meet expectations.
Artist development, now absent from the label system, has become part of the responsibilities of management, and others working with artists early in the careers. The development process includes everything from song direction and licensing to marketing and design. The artist developer is expected to help their chosen artist get organized and evolve their sound and live show to the desired level of success.

[edit] Betting Exchange Trading Room
A betting exchange trading room is a physical office situated in a high-street location rented out by professional and semi-professional sports gamblers in the UK to carry out their betting activity. The office facilites are very similar to trading floors used by financial companies such as banks, broking houses and day traders. Although users place bets in a betting exchange trading room, no cash changes hands because all wagers are made online - in contrast to traditional street corner betting officers. Users pay a small daily fee - in the region of £25 per day - to rent office space where they make internet bets in-running on live sports events such as football, tennis, horse racing and greyhounds. Facilities include fast computers, high-speed internet connections, specialist trading software and access to a wide range of sports pictures. There are currently an estimated eight trading rooms across the UK operating in locations including Cardiff, London, Lymington, Hants and Beverly, Yorkshire. The growing popularity of betting exchange trading rooms reflects the increasing numbers of professional gamblers making a part or full-time living from winning made by gambling on betting exchanges such as the world's market leader Betfair. The facilities have attracted controversy in the UK press because users are believed to enjoy an advantage over other gamblers because they can view faster pictures from race courses.

[edit] Little Flower Chaplet
The Little Flower Chaplet is a form of Catholic devotion to St. Therese of Lisieux, known as the "Little Flower". It consists of a string of 24 beads, each representing a year of her life, plus one additional (sometimes larger) bead. One prays it by reciting the following prayer on the first (large) bead: "St. Therese of the Infant Jesus, Patroness of Missions, pray for us." Then the Glory Be is recited on the 24 remaining beads.

[edit] Vacuum Pouches
Vacuum pouches are used in conjunction with vacuum packaging equipment to reduce the atmosphere in a package to protect and preserve the freshness of food products, such as meat and poultry, seafood, produce and cheese. Vacuum pouches are also used to keep other non-food products (e.g. medical and pharmaceutical items) sterile and to prevent oxidation.
The benefits of vacuum packaging in vacuum pouches include:
Increased shelf-life of food products Perishable food products stay fresh longer without oxygen which decreases microorganism growth.
Prevention of product degradation and protection from oxidation Vacuum pouches provide a leak-proof barrier to prevent moisture loss in products such as meat and cheese so products maintain the highest possible weight during shelf storage and prior to consumption. Likewise, dry products receive optimum protection against moisture ingress. Vacuum pouches also serve as an oxygen barrier which causes degradation of proteins, lipids (fats) and carbohydrates caused by bacteria and/or enzymes naturally present in meat. Vacuum pouches also provide the utmost protection for metal products, such as electrical or industrial parts or components, by providing a moisture barrier to protect against rust for example.
Protection against contact and contamination Vacuum pouches serve as protection against from water, dust and microorganisms, keeping items such as medical and pharmaceutical products sterile.
Vacuum Pouches are produced in several different shapes, styles, and sizes. Various types of vacuum pouches include:
• Side-seal Vacuum Pouches • Metallized Vacuum Pouches • Zipper/Reclosable Vacuum Pouches • Stand-up Vacuum Pouches • Boilable (Boil-in-Bags) Vacuum Pouches • Safe Handling Vacuum Pouches

[edit] Caisleain Oir- The Musical
(pronounced: cash-lan orr)
This beautiful new musical was written in the Heart of County Donegal by Leslie Long, Kathleen Ruddy and Phil Dalton. It is a musical adaptation of the Irish Novel of the same name, which was written by renowned author Seamus O Grianna.
Set in rural Ireland during the late 19th century and early 20th century, Caisleáin Óir is a story of childhood romance and the pursuit of destiny.
The story follows the lives of Babai Mhartin Friel and Seimi Padraig Dubh as they grow up together in west Donegal, and eventually fall in love as they get older. The life and times in Ireland at the turn of the 20th century were hard and work was scarce, so Seimi decides he must leave to go to Scotland, and then to America to make money so he can return to Babai and that they can be together. But what does destiny have in store for them?
The musical has rousing and energetic chorus performances, as well as dramatic intrumentals and powerful, heart rendering ballads.
Making Waves Productions, who presented the new Irish musical "Caisleáin Óir" in An Grianán Theatre in November 2005, have won a major award at the AIMS ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY 2006, which took place in the Summer of 2006
