Immortal Ayatollah

Immortal Ayatollah is an Islamic black metal with "raw hatred for Americans, Western Culture, and Christianity." The band has never made these statements public, and the seriousness of the band is in question, However their songs and song titles do involve resentment towards the United States, the west, and christian doctrine. The band has recorded two Demos so far, "The D'jihad Has Just Begun"(recorded in 2002) and "Trash Klash"(recorded in 2004. There are rumors that members of the band happen to belong to the sunni muslim extremist group Al'Qaeda, but because of the bands "underground" status and lack of exposure these statements remain just that, rumors.

Conrad Hutchinson Jr.

Former Band Director of the "World Famous Grambling Tiger Band". Created the fast step precision marching style coupled with choreographed dance moves that has become the "Hallmark" of Grambling's marching units. He brought the band to national prominence during an appearance at the American Football League's Championship Game in San Diego California in 1964. Affectionately known by his students as "Prof" he instilled the same pride and discipline that many former members attest to as the formula for their success in life. During his tenure he developed the Tiger Band into a household name that has appeared in television commercials, movies, and international stadium venues.

Megiddo (Board Game)

Megiddo is a 1984 board game distributed by the now out-of-buisness Global Games of Spokane, Washington. Similar to the more popular game Pente, Megiddo involves placing glass stones on a circular game board where players attempt to either get six stones in a row (called a Megiddo) or capturing six of the opponents stones (called an Arbatta). A capture is made when a player brackets 2 (and only 2) of his opponents collinear stones. The 2 captured stones are then removed and replaced with stones of the capturers color. The game board consists of six concentric rings each with six points which are collinear extending from the center. Two (or three) players take turns placing one of their stones on any point on the board. The game ends once a player has achieved a Megiddo or Arbatta, or when all points have been played and none remain (called a Patara).

Hanbury - Staffordshire - Engkand

Hanbury is a small village of some 200 households situated at the edge of the Stonepit Hills in South East Staffordshire. It overlooks the valley of the River Dove and is about 7 miles from Burton on Trent and a similar distance from Uttoxeter. Hanbury is perched above a great network of mine workings where Gypsum has been extracted since Roman Times.

The poulation is a mixture of those engaged in agriculture, commuters to the towns and cities of the East & West Midlands and retired folk. The community is active and a surprisingly large number of clubs and groups are active. The parish church is dedicated to St. Werburgh, a Saxon princess who founded a convent on the hill. This was a centre for pilgrimage untill it was sacked by the Vikings in about 900 Ad. The saint's body was hurriedly moved to Chester, the good people of which town however seem to have lost it.

After that world events largely passed the village by untill November 1994. The RAF were using the old Gypsum mine workings as their major storage facility for the thousands of bombs needed for the campaign agains Germany. Something occurred that set 4000 tons of bombs off. At the time it was the largest man made explosion in Britain. Many service personnel, villagers and ex Italian POW's were killed. Buildings in the village were destroyed or badly damaged. The crater can still be seen to the East of the village. For further details of this disaster as well as more information about the village visit hanbury-village.co.uk

BBHC

BBHC is Byron Bay Hardcore one of the major 'scenes' in the Australian hardcore scene.

---

BBHC youths are infamous in Australia after allegedly bashing reknowned fishing identity Rex Hunt.

---

Bands to emerge from the BBHC scene include successfull overseas touring metalcore act Parkway Drive who exploded onto the Autralian hardcore scene after their split EP with Adelaide metalcore act I Killed The Prom Queen in 2003. More traditionally styled hardcore bands have also originated from Byron Bay include 50 Lions and Xchuck norrisX which both enjoy(ed) success on a underground national level.

The regular venue for BBHC shows was the Youth Activities Center(YAC) but if a larger internatinal band is touring the show will probably be moved to the Byron bay Highschool hall. After the Byron Bay Council shut down the YAC in early 2007 only large shows have been held at the Highschool making it a battle for local bands to get supports often meaning they will have to travel a minimum of 2 hours to get opening slot on a show.

Goodfellas are responsible for organising all Byron Bay Punk nad Hardcore shows

Thierry Lodé

Born in 1956 at Tarbes (France), Thierry Lodé is a biologist, professor at the University of Angers and one of the best specialist on animal sexuality.

In a very imaginative style Thierry Lodé popularizes a new topic : the sexual conflict. Supported by a wide variety of pertinent animal habits, this book by Thierry Lodé (La guerre des sexes) proposed that the sexual conflict, as a new paradigm in evolutionary biology, provides valuable information that refutes most of common places arguments for theories of preference in sexual selection (good gens, handicap etc..). Animals exhibited various sexual behaviors, including polyandry, polygyny, and homosexuality, often as a result of sexual conflict.. It seems manifest that the controversy and exceptions have plagued sexual selection theory since Darwin. Building the new theory of propaganda (which dissociate mate choice and genes) and emphasizing the evolutionary tug of wars between sexes, including “feminist” references, Thierry Lodé initiates an unexpected and original perspective, underlining mecanisms for MHC and adding his final fantasy, the loving biodiversity. What is now needed, says Thierry Lodé, is a real pluralistic approach that considers natural as well as sexual selection acting on both sexes, incorporates multiple sexual mechanisms and antagonistic co-evolution, and also uses advances in physiology and molecular biology (MHC) to explain the mechanisms through which males and females achieve to love. The book incorporates more than useful 600 references.

Thierry Lodé's scientific works also deals with conservation biology and biodiversity (European mink, Otter, Polecat, frogs, beaver...).
