The Kwenil is parasitic animal, which has migrated from the shores of Papua New Guinea on the Australian mainland. It can be recognised by its ability to repeat offensive language and by its appearance. It is quite a tall animal standing up at about 1.8 m, from its toes to the tip of its hair when it hasn't brushed it in the morning. You may notice it scavenging food. It is a threat to antive wildlife and the RSPCA has released information on how to humanely reduce its umbers form 1 to 0. RSPCA spokeman, Tim Rogers, "Just get a golf club and hit it between the eyes. That'll stop the f&*^ing s*% of a b#*&^, he said.
Please try to reduce its numbers. It is a threat to Australian Flora and Fauna.

 Declined. Your article appears to be a joke. It might be a wonderful entry in Uncyclopedia, a wiki where jokes and parodies are highly encouraged. But sadly, Wikipedia requires a stodgier, more factual tone in its articles, and your comedic efforts cannot be rewarded here. Precious Roy 12:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)}[reply]

Stacey Bendet, a New York native, always loved pants – from the skinny and slim to the belled and bell bottomed. While studying at the University of Pennsylvania, she garnered herself quite a collection of denim. To quote Stacey, “stacks and stacks of it.” But denim became the ubiquitous blue and Stacey was in constant search for that perfect pair of pants. Pants that were perpetually flattering, perfectly form-fitting, long enough to wear with the highest of heels, and signature in a striped style. So, after years of vintage shopping, tweaking, tailoring, snipping and sewing, she set out to make her own pants. Something unique. Something different. Something Stacey. And with that, alice + olivia was born.
alice + olivia launched in 2002 at Barneys NY and was an instant success –- everyone wanted Stacey’s perfect pants. By incorporating interesting fabrics, an ultra-flattering fit and a stylish retro vibe, alice + olivia quickly gave today’s retro sophisticate something to embrace other than denim as a daily staple. “Stacey Pants,” as her friends still call them, became an overnight phenomenon. Shortly after alice + olivia’s launch, Andrew Rosen, the founder of multi-million dollar brand Theory, teamed up with Stacey to become her business partner in the company. From that moment on, the phenomenon continued to grow.
In 2003, Stacey successfully introduced the alice + olivia cashmere sweater collection as the perfect compliment to her pants, and the following year, she launched a line of well-received swimwear. In the fall of 2004, Stacey made the leap into menswear when she developed anthony + mo, a brilliantly colored men’s cashmere sweater collection, which she named after her two best college pals. The super soft sweaters, which launched at Barneys and Scoop NYC are the perfect boy sweaters – the ones you want to buy for your boyfriend and steal from his closet.
In 2005, alice + olivia expanded into seasonal collections featuring those must-have pants, as well as signature tops, sweaters, dresses, jackets, shorts, denim and more. Stacey secured her place on the fashion map as the leading go-to brand for today’s retro sophisticate when alice + olivia brought in over $10 million in sales and reached over 450 stores worldwide, ranging from elite domestic accounts Barneys, Scoop, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, to leading international accounts, including Harrods in London and Lane Crawford in Hong Kong. During the same year, Stacey signed on to redesign the cult 80’s CB Sports brand for its resurgence in the fall of 2006 and she was presented with the first ever “Life in D” award from Ford, which “recognizes women who combine talent with that little something extra that allows them to break free from convention to enjoy life with style and attitude.”
2005 also marked the year that alice + olivia launched its first-ever boutique, which opened in East Hampton to rave reviews. In April 2006, the first alice + olivia Los Angeles boutique opened on trendy Robertson Boulevard, followed by a flagship store in New York’s Bryant Park in October 2006. Boutiques in Nolita and Southampton shortly followed in June 2006 along with plans to open alice + olivia Malibu and a third Los Angeles location in late 2008. Each store offers alice + olivia signature pieces, as well as items exclusive to the stores, including a few of Stacey’s favorite complimentary brands – from Dylan’s Candy Bar and Malini Murjani handbags to Plum Bunny scented bangles and Moby’s teany teas and gifts and oh-so-much more.
While she’s busy at work designing all those spectacular pieces, Stacey still finds the time to lend a helping hand. She avidly works on charity fundraising for the Young Lions at the New York Public Library, the New York Museums, the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Charitable Trust, and Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti Organization, in which she recently styled the video for director Jeremy Blake. A devoted Ashtanga yoga student who practices with legendary guru Eddie Stern daily at 6 AM, Stacey loves flea markets, traveling and chewing bubble gum.

GMS (Giordano Memorization System) was a system created in 1990 by Vladimir A. Kozarenko. It was specifically designed for efficient memorization of everyday useful information, including the information we encounter while studying different subjects. Everyday useful information may include phone numbers, street addresses, shopping lists, names, etc. Though GMS also allows users to to efficiently remember seemingly unrelated and illogical information – sets of words, random numbers, maps and any combination of letters. GMS is based on mnemonics. “Mnemonics” means a memorization technique. It is derived from a Greek word “mnemonikon” – an art of memorization. It is believed that Pythagoras of Samos invented the word in 6th century B.C.
The memorization art is called “mnemonikon” after a Greek goddess of memory, Mnemosine, the mother of nine muses.
The first surviving works on mnemonics date back to 86-82 B.C and belong to Cicero and Quintilian (see “History of mnemonics”).
Modern encyclopedias define mnemonics in different ways:
Mnemonics – an art of memorization, a set of methods and techniques that ease the memorization process and help increase memory volume by creating artificial associations.
Mnemonic techniques: 1) the same as mnemonics; 2) circus or a stage trick based on the memorization art (guessing numbers, things, dates or names). The trick is performed by two artists using a specially developed code.
Mnemonics can also be defined in a way that reflects modern mnemonics more precisely.
Mnemonics – a system of inner writing that produces the ability to consecutively record information in to the brain, by transforming the information into a combination of visual images.
Mnemonics makes use of natural memory mechanisms and makes it possible to fully control the memorization, storage and retrieval processes.
GMS is the result of a lengthy systematic research. Its practical basis is the principles of classic mnemonics and elements from the Giordano Bruno memorization system. The theoretical foundation is an original model of memory that was developed on the basis of a modern conception of the quasi holographic nature of the brain’s work.
How it Works
The Giordano Memorization System does not ask the user to make up creative phrases, sentences and stories to aid in the process of memorization. This system also does not use any emotional manipulation techniques to aid in the process of memorization.
The process of memorization is divided into four stages:
1. Encoding the elements of information into visual images;
2. The memorization process itself;
3. Remembering the sequence of information;
4. Fixation of the information in your brain.
A concept of “association” is introduced as a group of images that serve to encode information. In GMS, the “association” concept differs from the concept of “connection of images”. The main thinking operation that leads to consciously turning on the memory process is clearly defined. This operation is the “connection of images”. Figurative codes are widely used as instruments of speed memorization. The system of encoding numbers into images is based upon the following alphanumeric code: 1 – N, 2 – THZ, 3 – B, 4 – WVK, 5 – FR, 6 – JPX, 7 – SD, 8 – GQL, 9 – C, 0 – M. Basically in GMS the user uses visual images to memorize different information. For Example: “Ankar” movie theatre - 123-77-58. A GMS user remembers an image of a “hangar” and images of a “notebook”,”dish” and “film”. These images are all used to memorize the phone number for the Ankar movie theatre. The reason for using visual images for numbers is because the brain does not remember purely numerical combinations and encoding memorized information into visual images is a necessity. The brain cannot memorize anything except for visual images.

Magnum Carnage is an American Black Metal band from Honolulu, Hawaii. Originally formed in 1996, the band has gone through many lineup changes all of which were led and assembled by band leader Kai Laigo. The band has formed a reputation for having a unique and unpredictable sound, mostly due to the positive, negative, and mostly confused press reviews the band has received.
RECORDED MATERIAL
The band has self-released four full-length CD’s and one EP to date, which have received radio airplay and reviews locally, nationally, and around the world. Response is widely varied, as shown by the band’s 2006 LP “Evil Never Dies”. It appeared on KTUH FM’s “Loud Music” chart as a requested album, as well as winning Harder Beat Magazine’s “Worst CD of 2006” award. They have also appeared on interanationaly distributed compilations such as "Knuckle Tracks #99", and Hawaiian Express Records "METAL: Made in Hawaii". For one week in 1998, the song 'Deathscythe' garnered enough downloads to place #3 on MP3.com's world-wide Black Metal chart.

Lions World Services for the Blind was founded in 1947 by Roy Kumpe to serve people who are blind and visually impaired who needed to learn independent living skills or job training skills that considered the special requirements of their individual visual impairments. The goal of the rehabilitation center then, and today, is to prepare the individual who is blind or visually impaired to function independently in our "sighted" society.
Since that time, LWSB has served more than 9,200 individuals from all 50 states and 58 other countries. We have gradually expanded our services to become the most comprehensive rehabilitation center in the world, offering a complete personal adjustment program, 13 vocational courses, a vision rehabilitation clinic and training, an assistive technology learning center, job placement assistance, and a college preparatory program. LWSB is accredited by the National Accreditation Council for agencies serving people with Blindness or Visually Impairment.
Blindness is no respecter of persons. It strikes without regard to race, religion, sex or nationality. In the United States, 1.3 million Americans age 25 and older have severe visual impairments, causing them to make adjustments in areas of careers and everyday living situations.
Whether you are a person who is blind, a professional worker in the blindness field, a Lions Club member, or someone interested in blindness, we cordially invite you to visit our center and meet our professional and capable staff. We think you will find that Lions World Services for the Blind is committed to serving people who are blind or visually impaired from all over the globe, and that you will agree with Helen Keller that "Alone, we can do so little. Together, we can do so much."

Dr. Gipsy Smith, Jr., was a well known evangelist in the United States. His father was the British Evangelist Rodney Gypsy Smith. Gipsy Smith, Jr. was born in Newcastle-On-Tyne on December 31, 1880 and died August 24, 1951 in his boat, the Salene, in Passe-A-Grille, Florida. He was a contemporary of Billy Sunday and J Wilbur Chapman.
Albany Rodney Smith was the eldest son of well-known British evangelist Rodney Gypsy Smith and his wife Annie Elizabeth Pennock. He was born while his parents were heavily involved with the Christian work known as the Christian Mission under the leadership of William Booth. Mr. Booth eventually changed the name of this work to the Salvation Army, while Gipsy Smith was still involved with this organization. It was after Gipsy Smith left the Salvation Army that the family of five (Annie, Albany, Alfred Hanley, and Zillah) settled down at Cherry Hinton, Cambridge, England.{1} As Gipsy Smith began to come to America and hold missions, Annie became mother and father for the children. It was during these times that the three young children would attend school and at home recreate evangelistic missions in their parlor. {2} It was when Albany reached the age of 15 that he asked his parents if he could learn the art of sailing sea vessels and they apprenticed him to a local ship merchant.{3}
Albany loved sailing and throughout his sermons illustrated his love for the sea. Even though he was apprenticed to a shipping firm at the young age of 15, he rose in rank becoming the second in command of a Trans-Atlantic Liner for the Cunard Steamship Line.{4} It was this same Cunard that launched the famous Titanic liner. It was 1906, when Albany became converted, left the promising career as a sailor, and came to America with his wife, Jessie and their first son, John Rodney (Jack). Settling down in Noank, Connecticut, Albany joined the Presbyterian Evangelist, Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, as a soloist.{5}
After joining Chapman as a soloist, Albany and his wife had two more children, G. (George) Wilbur Smith and Jessie Elizabeth (Betty) Smith. It was while the children were still young that Albany began attending Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania and also began his evangelistic career.{6} It was by 1914 that Albany was known as Gipsy Smith, Jr. and on May 1915 he was ordained into the Northern Baptist Church in Noank.{7} From 1912 to 1951, Gipsy Smith, Jr. had preached in every state in the United States and had traveled to England several times preaching the Gospel. One of his most well known campaigns was in Poindexter Park In Jackson, Mississippi in May of 1922.{8} It was in May 1924 that Gipsy Smith, Jr. flew from Missouri to Memphis, Tennessee to finish an evangelistic campaign of Billy Sunday. In which Mr. Sunday had food poisoning.{9} One of the highlights from Gipsy, Jr.'s ministry was in February of 1928. He was in Waco, Texas and his father was conducting a mission at Mexia, Texas.{10} The elder Smith traveled to Waco, sang a duet with his son and gave a special talk to the ministers that were present. In every city that Gipsy, Jr. would preach he would always give thanks to his father and his Godly influence in his life. He would do this by giving on the last night of his meetings a talk about the history of his people "the Gypsies" and the Conversion story of his father. It was titled, 'From Gypsy Tent to Pulpit'.{11}
It was from the Union of Albany and Jessie they had three children. John Rodney (Jack) which was born in England in 1906, was a famous trial lawyer in Mystic, Connecticut. G. (George) Wilbur Smith became a Presbyterian Pastor and pastored only three churches in his life. One in Dermott, Arkansas from there he went to Stuttgart, Arkansas and eventually went to Batesville, Mississippi. Wilbur passed away August 30, 1992 in Batesville. And lastly they had one daughter, Jessie Elizabeth (Betty) Smith, which was a faithful Christian wife and homemaker.{12}

Herbert Marvin Ohlman (1927 - 2002) is the inventor of permutation indexing, or
Permuterm and is known as one of the pioneers of information science and technology.
In 1958 Ohlman submitted a paper titled "Subject-word letter frequencies with
applications to superimposed coding" to the International Conference on Scientific
Information (ICSI) in Washington, DC. The paper was accepted by the chairman of
Section 5, H. P. Luhn.
At the conference, Ohlman presented a mechanically produced index (using IBM punch
cards) to conference pre-print papers. He called this work a permuterm index.
Ohlman developed this system while working at System Development Corporation (SDC).
For his presentation, entries were selected not just from titles, but also author
names and affiliations, headings, captions, sentences, and even phrases selected for
their significance as thought units.
At the same time, Hans Peter Luhn (working with IBM) distributed his paper titled
"Bibliography and index: Literature on information retrieval and machine
translation", which contained "titles indexed by Key Words-in-Context system", or
KWIC.
While the appearance of the printed indexes were practically identical, Ohlman's
index was produced entirely with IBM tabulating machines. Luhn's system used punched
cards only for input, converted the data to punched-paper tape, and used a computer
to produce the final index.
According to some sources, Ohlman's work preceded Luhn's work on KWIC.
"Luhn's term for the approach happened to be more "catchy" and stuck but Ohlman's
work was just as important, and possibly, preceded Luhn's work on KWIC.", says Robert
V. Williams, Professor and Director of the Office of Research, College of Mass
communication and Information Studies at the University of South Carolina.
Ohlman was the founding char of the ASIST SIG/Education for Information Science and
also chaired several other SIGs during his career.

The college is an educational ministry of City Bible Church (formerly Bible Temple) where students are connected to strong biblical teaching and worship, where they experience personal growth and have opportunities for Christian service.
In the fall of 1967 twelve young adults stood in Pastor Dick Iverson’s office, asking that he not send them away to other schools to be trained. The Lord had touched their lives dramatically in the church and they believed that ministry preparation and training would best be accomplished in the church. Thus, Portland Bible College began its long and successful journey with a handful of students, men and women who understood that seasoned church leaders administrate the best church leadership training.
In the beginning, Pastor Iverson was concerned that he may be incapable of engineering such an important vision. Still, he realized the critical relationship between the church’s call and the duty of raising up leaders. The careful and prayerful decision to begin the college was confirmed by a prophetic word. The church responded enthusiastically as all agreed the rewards would outweigh any financial sacrifice made.
Today one of the great tributes to the vision is the way the school has touched the nations. Since the late 1960’s scores of international students, along with many from the US and Canada, have worshiped and studied at PBC. Currently, international students make up to 23% of the total student population. Australia, Argentina, Columbia, England, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Romania & Russia are just some of the nations represented at Portland Bible College. The background and cultural diversity, alone, is one of the unique educational features of the college.
We extend our deep appreciation to the pioneers of this institution and give thanks to God for His great faithfulness. People like Robert Stricker Sr., David Blomgren, Kevin Conner, and Pastor Dick Iverson are to be commended for giving their energy and strength to the establishment of Portland Bible College. It is clear that PBC has a distinguished past, a challenging present and an exciting future. The need for future world leaders remains the hope of the church and the world. We are determined to honor our heritage of the past and accept our responsibility to the future.
OUR DISTINCTIVES
Our Local Church Context
PBC is a ministry of City Bible Church. Providing ministry preparation and development within the context of the local church is core to our philosophy. The church is critical to keeping the college contemporary with its curriculum, insuring that what is being taught is applicable to the needs of the church today. We believe that preparation within the church allows the student to receive instruction from effective leaders, as well as provide “hands-on” ministry opportunities in Christian service.
Our Spiritual Atmosphere
One of our most noted distinctive is the spiritual atmosphere at PBC. For decades students have acknowledged the wonderful environment that fosters a deeper relationship with God. Prayer in each class, Spirit-lead worship in the chapels, a prayer center devoted to intercessory prayer and personal devotional times are just a few of the activities that work with the curriculum to build the students relationship with the Lord. It is often within this atmosphere that the student discovers or confirms their future life direction.
Our Theology
Portland Bible College is Pentecostal and Charismatic in its theological orientation. It places a significant focus on the function and restoration of the local church. Its programs provide a Biblical and theological foundation for students to build their lives and ministries upon. In short, PBC offers an academic and pragmatic approach with the ultimate goal of seeing the church realize its full potential. Our vision is to ground future leaders with a sound theological basis and contemporary spirit-filled life experience.
Our Mentoring Approach to Education
PBC believes that the educational experience must extend outside the classroom to include mentoring. This approach gives occasion for a unique mentoring relationship between faculty/staff and students. This also provides an opportunity for the personal development of the student to be addressed. Through the mentoring relationship, each student can receive personal and specific ministry for their spiritual and ministerial development. Most graduates’ state that what has benefited them the most was their close relationships with the faculty and staff. The program is now being extended to include church staff as well.
Our Local, National and International Student Body
PBC boasts one of the largest international and national student ratios in the nation. Students from over 40 nations have attended PBC. This affords each student an opportunity to interact and minister to a broad spectrum of people. Our nation, like others, is becoming more and more ethnically mixed. As a result, we need future Christian leaders that are able to minister to a community that is culturally diverse. PBC offers the student, the chance to learn and minister with future international Christian leaders.
OUR ACADEMIC STANDING
For over 35 years, Portland Bible College has striven to provide the finest personal and ministerial training possible. We have consistently held to a set of common core values that shape our educational objectives and commit us to continually raise the academic and developmental bar. As a result, we offer to the student the benefit of receiving a degree, transferability of credits to other educational institutions and VA educational benefits.
Educational Objectives
1. To give thorough and systematic instruction in God’s Word in order that each student will possess a comprehensive knowledge of the Bible and theology.
2. To nurture the spiritual life and character of each student, within the context of community life and Christian discipline.
3. To assist the personal development of each student through scriptural exposition, mentoring, and integration into local church life.
4. To help each student develop and apply a sound biblical and theological worldview, in order to understand and influence society.
5. To cultivate the gifts, talents and ministry potential of each student within the context of the local church in preparation for future ministry.
Degree Granting Status
Portland Bible College has been granted exempt status by the State of Oregon to offer theological and church ministry degrees at the associate and baccalaureate level. Currently, the school offers associate degrees in four programs: Christian Humanities, Theology, Church Music, and Church Leadership Studies. Two programs lead to a bachelor degree in Theology or Church Music.
Transferability of Credits
The college continues to establish a growing number of formal transfer agreements with fully accredited colleges and universities so that students pursuing educational and career objectives beyond Bible College will have the advantage of their credits being transferable. In addition, several local graduate schools are currently accepting our Bachelor Degree toward post graduate study.
Students desiring to transfer their PBC credits to other institutions are responsible for determining the requirements of the institution and program to which they plan to transfer.
International Students
The college is approved by the United States for the admission of non-immigrant students.
Veterans
Most Portland Bible College programs are approved for VA educational benefits. Veterans and eligible dependents should contact the Registrar so that their enrollment can be certified to the VA.
Association and Accreditation
Portland Bible College serves under the leadership of the governing body of elders at City Bible Church. This unique relationship between the college and the local church has been the basis for its strength and effectiveness. Currently the appropriate accrediting associations do not make sufficient provision for local church governed colleges, thus PBC has not been able to pursue accreditation. It is however committed to instructional and academic excellence and thus enjoys many of the benefits of accredited colleges. PBC is endeavoring towhile maintain its commitment to its ecclesiastical standards while nurturing a growing academic reputation. As a ministry of City Bible Church, college faculty and administrators feel the school is uniquely equipped to train students for life-long service in the context of their local church community.
STUDENT LIFE
Portland Bible College offers a variety of rich Christian life experiences. Dormitory life provides the opportunity to develop life-long friendships. Praying together, eating in the cafeteria, and attending small groups are just a few of the dynamics students share as part of their community experience. Dorm “warms” and mud bowls (flag football) are a reminder that there are times just for fun.
Prayer and worship are core values in the lives of PBC students. As a result, students often become committed to regular intercessory prayer. Student led worship is a vital part of the two main chapels each week. It is an impressive sight to see students from all over the world lifting their hands and hearts in adoration to God. The students look forward to chapel as the highlight of the week.
The search for sound biblical doctrine extends beyond the classroom walls and into small groups, the cafeteria and discussion or prayer meetings held in the student lounge. Professors make themselves accessible to students, and students are able to take advantage of the mentoring relationships that only start in the classroom.
Student life includes active participation in the local church. Learned biblical principles are made applicable in real-life ministry responsibilities. This keeps the students abreast with the life of the local church, and enables them to incorporate experience with knowledge in preparation for ministry.

Marie Digby is a singer from Los Angeles, California.
Marie Digby was born on [month day], 1983 in Los Angeles, California and grew up in the Brentwood, California area.
Digby, had a normal childhood, but was always very little shy, feeling more comfortable hiding under the bleachers during high school football games than in front of any crowd. She started playing the piano in High School and began to secretly write songs, even hiding them from her family.
While a senior in high school, the timid and nervous Marie Digby signed up for a talent show. Although she was nervous to perform, she went on anyway and the audience loved it. This was to be the first of many performances that were to come.
She began University of California at Berkely in 2002 as a philosophy major. She was on the three-day schedule (she took all her classes in three days) so she would have more time to play with the new band she had formed. She was performing all over the Los Angeles area, including places such as the infamous Whiskey a Go Go and The Troubadour.
In 2004, the quiet Digby came out of obscurity into the public eye when she won the 2004 Pantene Pro-Voice competition with her song “Miss Invisible” (a song about growing up and feeling like you do not belong). The grand prize for the concert included working with a professional producer on an album, $5,000 and performing on stage with other top performers.
In 2006, the song “Fool” appears on the Disney compilation album Girl Next, which includes many of today’s Radio Disney Stars such as Hilary Duff, Aly and AJ and Hannah Montana.
