Richard Dansky

Richard "Rich" Dansky is a writer and a designer of both computer games and role-playing games.

Early life and education
In the late 1980s and early 1990s Dansky attended Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut.

Personal life
Dansky is an enthusiast of cryptids, and in particular of Sasquatch or Bigfoot. He lives in North Carolina "with an ever-changing number of bottles of single malt scotch and a cat named Goblin". He swears she was named that when he got her.

Career
Richard Dansky worked for four years as a game developer for White Wolf, Inc. where he worked on games such as Wraith: The Oblivion and Vampire: The Dark Ages. He also worked on the Mind's Eye Theatre, Kindred of the East, and Orpheus game lines. He has written, designed, or otherwise contributed to over a hundred role-playing sourcebooks. He is also credited with creating the humorous t-shirt which reads "Don't Tell Me About Your Character", a reference to the habit many role-playing game enthusiasts have of talking at length about their player characters. His writing has also appeared in sources such as the Green Man Review and Lovecraft Studies.

He lives in Durham, North Carolina where he works for Red Storm Entertainment as "Manager of Design" as well as serving as "Central Clancy Writer" for Ubisoft. He has contributed to video games in series including Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Rainbow Six: Black Arrow. He also contributed to Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Far Cry, and Blazing Angels, as well as helping to design the setting for the new Might and Magic universe.

Dansky has published four media tie-in novels through White Wolf, including Clan Novel Lasombra and the Trilogy of the Second Age for Exalted. His original fiction includes the novella Shadows In Green (Yard Dog Press, 2013); the novels Firefly Rain (Wizards of the Coast Discoveries, 2008), Vaporware (JournalStone, 2013), and Ghost of a Marriage (Crossroad Press, 2022); and the short story collection Snowbird Gothic (Crossroad Press, 2018). A former executive of the IGDA Game Writing Special Interest Group, he serves on the advisory board on the Game Narrative Summit at GDC. In 2007 he contributed the opening chapter to Game Writing: Narrative Skills for Videogames alongside other members of the IGDA Game Writing SIG.

His namesake, Rich Dansky, appears as a player character in the scenario "And I Feel Fine," by Geoffrey C. Grabowski, which was published in the One Shots sourcebook for Unknown Armies. The fictional version of Dansky is described as "a bohemian academic living the simple life of a trailer park manager." Another role-playing game author, Jenna K. Moran also appears as a player character in the same scenario.

Yugoslavia
Was Yugoslavia later removed from the game because of the civil war? In real sports life, Yugoslavia was forbidden to play ball games against other countries during that era.

--- I bought the pal version of the game in the late 90´s and the yugos were still in ...

Unneccessary information on cheats
Removed all the information about how to play as the Nintendo Team and hacking and etc because NONE of the passcodes for those work (I've tried it and I ended up playing Germany VS Uruguay). In addition, Wikipedia doesn't advocate hacking, so all the better to remove all the useless info on a guy who claimed to have hacked the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.167.234.84 (talk) 22:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Ben Raab

Benjamin Raab (born October 13, 1970, in New York City, New York) is an American screenwriter, television producer, comic book writer and editor.

Early life
Raab is a native of Cedarhurst, New York, and attended Lawrence High School. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1992 with a bachelor's degree in English Literature and Composition.

Career
Raab made his Marvel debut as an interviewer for artist Gary Kwapisz in Marvel Age Special: The Punisher Anniversary Magazine. In the letters section of X-Men vol. 2 #31, Raab was announced as the new assistant editor on X-Men books edited by Bob Harras, receiving that credit on several titles cover-dated April 1994 to September 1996, including X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine, X-Force and Generation X. During that time, Raab also joined New York University's Stan-hattan Project. Administered by his editorial colleague James Felder, the project sought out and trained potential comic book writers.

Written work by Raab includes stints on The Phantom (both for Moonstone Books and Scandinavian publisher Egmont) and Excalibur (vol. 1 and 2) as well as the second of volume of X-Men/Alpha Flight and Union Jack with artist John Cassaday for Marvel Comics. For DC Comics, Raab penned a number of issues on Green Lantern following Judd Winick's run, co-wrote several Teen Titans-centric short stories and mini-series with Geoff Johns as well as The Human Race mini-series, the Elseworlds one-shot JLA: Shogun of Steel and several titles for the Wildstorm imprint. Later work includes the four-issue series Living in Infamy for Ludovico Technique, co-written with Deric A. Hughes, and the 96-page graphic novel The Phantom: Legacy, a retelling of the character's origin. In 2009, Raab served as the editor for The Phantom: Ghost Who Walks series by Moonstone Books. In 2012, Raab and artist Pat Quinn began self-publishing their 8-issue series Cryptopia, previously released as a one-shot via Image.

Raab and his writing partner Deric A. Hughes were staff writers on Warehouse 13 writing their first episode "Duped" which aired August 25, 2009. They penned seven episodes over the 5 season run and eventually became the producers on the final season. In 2015, Raab and Hughes joined Beauty & the Beast as supervising producers penning four episodes of the show. Following the series conclusion, they contributed to the 2016–2017 season of The Flash writing the episode "King Shark", before joining Season 3 as co-executive producers and writers. The duo subsequently joined the writing team of the third season of Scream and acted as writers and producers for the final season of Arrow.

Beersheba
It's known as "Beersheba" in English (e.g. in most Bible translations, which is where most people first run across is), so I think we'll leave the article at that name. Noel (talk) 21:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * That may be the case in Israel, for transliteration into the 'Roman' alphabet (it's not really the Roman alphabet, since that didn't include W, etc), but in the vast majority of the English-speaking world, it is not yet the case. E.g., doing a web search, for pages in English, we get:

 * about 480,000 for Beer-Sheva
 * about 1,260,000 for Beersheba

 * And of course in books, which have a longer lifetime, it will be skewed even further toward "Beersheba". When it is the most common form in the English-speaking world, that will be the time to change. ("Beijing" is a different case - the different transliteration system that results in that, instead of "Peking", is now widely used throughout the English-speaking world, so that now the former far beats the latter in a similar web search.)

Historically, zein has been used in the manufacture of a wide variety of commercial products, including coatings for paper cups, soda bottle cap linings, clothing fabric, buttons, adhesives, coatings and binders. The dominant historical use of zein was in the textile fibers market where it was produced under the name "Vicara". With the development of synthetic alternatives, the use of zein in this market eventually disappeared. By using electrospinning, zein fibers have again been produced in the lab, where additional research will be performed to re-enter the fiber market. It can be used as a water and grease coating for paperboards and allows recyclability.

Zein's properties make it valuable in processed foods and pharmaceuticals, in competition with insect shellac. It is now used as a coating for candy, nuts, fruit, pills, and other encapsulated foods and drugs. In the United States, it may be labeled as "confectioner's glaze" (which may also refer to shellac-based glazes) and used as a coating on bakery products or as "vegetable protein." It is classified as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. For pharmaceutical coating, zein is preferred over food shellac, since it is all natural and requires less testing per the USP monographs.

Zein can be further processed into resins and other bioplastic polymers, which can be extruded or rolled into a variety of plastic products. With increasing environmental concerns about synthetic coatings (such as PFOA) and the current higher prices of hydrocarbon-based petrochemicals, there is increased focus on zein as a raw material for a variety of nontoxic and renewable polymer applications, particularly in the paper industry. Other reasons for a renewed interest in zein include concern about the landfill costs of plastics, and consumer interest in natural substances. There are also a number of potential new food industry applications.

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at William Wrigley Jr. Company have recently been studying the possibility of using zein to replace some of the gum base in chewing gum. They are also studying medical applications such as using the zein molecule to "carry biocompounds to targeted sites in the human body". There are a number of potential food safety applications that may be possible for zein-based packaging according to several researchers. A military contractor is researching the use of zein to protect MRE food packages. Other packaging/food safety applications that have been researched include frozen foods, ready-to-eat chicken, and cheese and liquid eggs. Food researchers in Japan have noted the ability of the zein molecule to act as a water barrier.

While there are numerous existing and potential uses for zein, the main barrier to greater commercial success has been its historic high cost until recently. Zein pricing is now very competitive with food shellac. Zein may be extracted as a byproduct in the manufacturing process for ethanol or in new off-shore manufacture.

Gene family
Alpha-prolamins are the major seed storage proteins of species of the grass tribe Andropogoneae. They are unusually rich in glutamine, proline, alanine, and leucine residues and their sequences show a series of tandem repeats presumed to be the result of multiple intragenic duplication. In Zea mays (Maize), the 22 kDa and 19 kDa zeins are encoded by a large multigene family and are the major seed storage proteins accounting for 70% of the total zein fraction. Structurally the 22 kDa and 19 kDa zeins are composed of nine adjacent, topologically antiparallel helices clustered within a distorted cylinder. The 22 kDa alpha-zeins are encoded by 23 genes; twenty-two of the members are found in a roughly tandem array forming a dense gene cluster. The expressed genes in the cluster are interspersed with nonexpressed genes. Some of the expressed genes differ in their transcriptional regulation. Gene amplification appears to be in blocks of genes explaining the rapid and compact expansion of the cluster during the evolution of maize.

Oskar Vogt

Oskar Vogt (6 April 1870, in Husum – 30 July 1959, in Freiburg im Breisgau) was a German physician and neurologist. He and his wife Cécile Vogt-Mugnier are known for their extensive cytoarchetectonic studies on the brain.

Personal life
Vogt was born in Husum, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. He studied at the local Husum grammar school before entering universities. Vogt studied medicine at the University of Kiel and University of Jena, eventually obtaining his doctorate from Jena in 1894.

The Vogts met in 1897 in Paris, and eventually married in 1899. The Vogts were close to the Krupp family. Friedrich Alfred Krupp financially supported them, and in 1898, Oskar and Cécile founded a private research institute called the Neurologische Zentralstation (Neurological Center) in Berlin, which was formally associated with the Physiological Institute of the Charité as the Neurobiological Laboratory of the Berlin University in 1902. This institute served as the basis for the 1914 formation of the Kaiser Institut für Hirnforschung (Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research), of which Oskar was a director. There, he had students from many countries who went on to prominent careers including Jerzy Rose (mentor of Michael Merzenich), Valentino Braitenberg (mentor of Christof Koch), Korbinian Brodmann, Rafael Lorente de Nó and Harald Brockhaus. This institute gave rise to the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in 1945.

As a clinician, Vogt used hypnotism (Stuckrade-Barre and Danek 2004) until 1903 and wrote papers on the topic. In particular, Vogt had an intense interest for localizing the origins of "genius" or traits in the brain.

Family
Vogt married the French neurologist Cécile Mugnier. They met in Paris in 1897 while he was there working with Joseph Jules Dejerine and his wife, Augusta Marie Dejerine-Klumke, who collaborated with him. Because of their similar scholarly interests, the Vogts collaborated for a long period, usually with Cécile as the primary author.

The Vogts had two daughters, both accomplished scientists in their own right:
 * Marthe Vogt (1903–2003) was a neuropharmacologist who became a Fellow of the Royal Society and a professor at Cambridge.
 * Marguerite Vogt (1913–2007) started as a developmental geneticist working in Drosophila, then moved to the US in 1950. She developed methods to culture poliovirus with Renato Dulbecco. She was a faculty member at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies where she worked on viral transformation and cellular immortalization of cancer cells.

Politics
Vogt was a socialist, involved with the factions led by Mme Fessard who knew him personally, and with the guesdist element of the French socialist party (Jules Guesde was at the far left wing of this party). He was never a Communist, although he did interact with the Soviets on a number of occasions. They sent him several researchers, including N. V. Timofeev-Resovskij (whom Solzhenitsyn met in the Gulag). He helped to establish the brain institute in Moscow.

Vogt was opposed to the Nazi Party. Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach helped fund a small hospital in Schwarzwald near Neustadt when Vogt was dismissed in 1936 from his position with the Kaiser Wilhelm Brain Research Institute.

Institutes and journals
Vogt was the editor of the prominent Journal für Psychologie und Neurologie published in German, French and English which made many of the most important contributions between the two World Wars. This later became The Journal für Hirnforschung.

Lenin's brain
Vogt had a longstanding interest in localizing functions in the brain.

In 1924, Vogt was one of the neurologists asked to consult on Lenin’s illness and was given his brain for histological study after Lenin's death. He found that Lenin's brain showed a great number of "giant cells", which Vogt saw as a sign of superior mental function. "The giant cells" were cortical pyramidal cells of unusual size. There were also particularities in layer 3.

In 1925 Vogt accepted an invitation to Moscow where he was assigned the establishment of an institute for brain research under the auspices of the health ministry in Moscow. Vogt got one 20 micrometer slice out of the 30,953 slices of the brain, and took it home to Berlin for research purposes. Therefore, contrary to claims of two Belgian neurologists, L. Van Bogaert and A. Dewulf, the Soviets did not have to carry out a military operation specifically to retrieve the brain before the Americans obtained it. It was, for a time, put on display in the Lenin Mausoleum. The brain is still in the Institute in Moscow.

Contributions
The contributions of the Vogts applies to several parts of the brain and had a considerable influence on international neurological sciences.

Cortex
An interest in the correlation between anatomy and psychology drew the Vogts to study the cortex. The Vogts imposed the distinction between iso- and allocortex. Based on their cytoarchitectonic studies, they promoted a six-layer pattern, rather than the five-layer pattern of Meynert or the seven of Cajal.

Thalamus
Vogt made several presentations of his view of the thalamus in Paris. Oskar and Cécile further referred to the work of Constantin von Monakow in a series on the anatomy of mammals. A paper published together in 1941 (Thalamus studien I to III), devoted to the human thalamus, represented an important step in partitioning and naming thalamic parts. The anatomy of the thalamus from Hassler (one of their students) was published in 1959, the year of Oskar's death. It is not known whether the master accepted the excessive partition and unnecessary complication of this work; it was an atlas dedicated to stereotacticans. The paper of 1941 was much simpler.

Basal ganglia
The Vogts greatly contributed to the analysis of what is known today as the basal ganglia system. Their main interest was on the striatum, which they named following a proposal by Foix and Nicolesco in 1941. This includes the caudate nucleus, the putamen, and the fundus.

Eponym
The Vogt-Vogt syndrome is an extrapyramidal disturbance with double sided athetosis occurring in early childhood.

3AD
Greetings! Just a comment about your edits to 3d Armored Division: When I was in the division back in the 80s, both the motto and the nickname were pretty much universal among not only the folks in my unit, but division-wide(as far as I could discern). I would like to hear from you on this-please give me a buzz.--Lyricmac 13:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Once again, please give me buzz regarding your edits to 3d Armored Division. Thanks.--Lyricmac (talk) 03:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

My friend, I have tried to contact you regarding your edits to 3d Armored Division without success. Accordingly, I am reverting your last edit to this article, save that I will be deleting the mottoes, both official and unofficial, as they are rather extraneous. If you wish to write me later about this, I will be glad to discuss this with you. The last thing in which I am interested is an edit war. Wishing you the best of the day, --Lyricmac (talk) 15:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Lyric: I was in the 2/3FA, 1st BDE 3AD from 85-88 and never heard the unofficial motto, nor really ever heard "3rd Herd" used much (I can count on one hand the # of times I recall hearing it.  This might be because up at the Rock we didn't see much of the rest of the Division.  We called the Division "3rd AD", if we every referred to it, or more likely as, "The Fucking 3rd AD". Referring to the Division as "Third Herd" almost every singly time in the Gulf War section doesn't make much sense to me, given that its NOT referred to in that way anywhere else. I will copy this on your page, to see what you think, but I'll tell ya, "Third Herd" used a couple of times is fine, but over and over?  I'll bet you that the 3rd ID has the same internal nickname. No need to use it in the article as synonym for the Division. --199.68.81.105 (talk) 19:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Excuse me, are you Matthewdkaufman, or are you 199.68.81.105? With whom am I speaking? I would very much appreciate some clarity here. Why are you using two accounts?

In any case, (1), if you will re-read the article, beginning with the Cold War section and continuing to the end, you will find that the term Third Herd is used a total of five times in all that span. I didn't count the times that the terms, 3rd AD, the division, 3AD, or 3rd Armored Division were used; suffice to say that they greatly outnumbered the Third Herd term and thus. This, in my opinion, doesn't constitute "over and over". The purpose of integrating different titles is to inculcate a bit of variety into the narrative and to make it more interesting, provided that the title is a valid one. (2) I traveled extensively over 3AD country in my time there and invariable heard soldiers using it wherever I went. I also heard my compatriots use the terms 3AD, the Division, Spearhead and 3rd AD. True, I heard it less in Frankfurt(Drake Kaserne, where I was assigned) than at other places such as G'hausen and Hanau. However it seemed that the common soldier used the 'herd' title as much as the others, maybe simply because it was different. (3) The title or term Third Herd is one that I also heard on a subsequent tour to 1st Armored Division when it was headquartered at Ansbach, only this time to describe the 3d ACR at Hof, on the Czech border. I had mentioned that to a couple of fellows I knew up at Hof, when I was TDY there, antd they confirmed that 3d ACR had been referred to in that manner since Vietnam(at least), and that they had also heard the 3AD reference, as well. (4) Neither I nor my still-active contacts ever heard 3d ID referred to as Third Herd, I think, simply because it would seem strange to hear an infantry division referred thus, unless it is a light division, or mobile. Even then the term "herd" scares up an image of tanks or cavalry.

As I had stated previously, the mottoes, both official and otherwise, I deleted in keeping with the apparent practice in other articles of this type, so I think that this is a non-issue.

I hope that this "tome" suffices as a justification for the use of the term Third Herd in the article. There is nothing more that I can add. Wishing you the best of the day,--Lyricmac (talk) 21:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Comments to Lyric's message:

Excuse me, are you Matthewdkaufman, or are you 199.68.81.105? With whom am I speaking? I would very much appreciate some clarity here. Why are you using two accounts? ---Pure Laziness on my account, sorry.

The purpose of integrating different titles is to inculcate a bit of variety into the narrative and to make it more interesting, provided that the title is a valid one.

--I disagree. The article is written for, and ready by, a general audience. "Third Herd" just isn't a recognized name for the unit anywhere I've ever seen it referred to, in all the books I've read and all the Websites out there devoted to it. Try this: Google "Third Herd" and you'll find more refernces to an Air Force unit, and the 3rd ACR than you will to the 3rd AD. "Third Herd" just doesn't deserve to be a synonym for the 3rd AD like "The Big Red One" or "The Black Sheep". Also, "Third Herd" is used primarily in the Gulf War section, and virtually nowhere else.

(2) I traveled extensively over 3AD country in my time there and invariable heard soldiers using it wherever I went. I also heard my compatriots use the terms 3AD, the Division, Spearhead and 3rd AD.

However it seemed that the common soldier used the 'herd' title as much as the others, maybe simply because it was different.

--At the Rock, 1st BDE, I don't recall ever hearing it, and I was there for 2.5 years from 85-88. We were pretty isolated, except for travels to exotic Grafonweohr, Hohenfels and Wildflicken.

(3) The title or term Third Herd is one that I also heard on a subsequent tour to 1st Armored Division when it was headquartered at Ansbach, only this time to describe the 3d ACR at Hof, on the Czech border. I had mentioned that to a couple of fellows I knew up at Hof, when I was TDY there, antd they confirmed that 3d ACR had been referred to in that manner since Vietnam(at least), and that they had also heard the 3AD reference, as well.

(4) Neither I nor my still-active contacts ever heard 3d ID referred to as Third Herd, I think, simply because it would seem strange to hear an infantry division referred thus, unless it is a light division, or mobile. Even then the term "herd" scares up an image of tanks or cavalry.

--Moot then. But the 3rd ACR reference in point 3 shows that "Herd" isn't a specific nickname for the 3rd AD.

 * Then, if it is that important to you, by all means revert the 'third herd' references to other titles and thats okay with me. That will be my last word on the subject.  Kindest regards--Lyricmac (talk) 01:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Tommy Lee (footballer)

Thomas Edward Lee (born 3 January 1986) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He began his career with Manchester United, but was unable to break into the first team and was loaned to Macclesfield Town in 2006. He joined Macclesfield permanently later that year, spending two years there before first joining Rochdale on loan and then Chesterfield on a permanent basis. He played for Chesterfield for nine seasons, appearing in more than 350 matches before his retirement due to a shoulder injury in 2017.

Manchester United
Lee was born in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Playing for local team Oakworth Juniors, he then went to Manchester United as a junior player in 2002. In 2005, he helped United's reserve team win the quadruple. In the 2005–06 season he was loaned to Macclesfield Town for what was originally going to be a month, but was extended to three months.

Macclesfield Town
Lee made his league debut away at Oxford United. During his loan period, Macclesfield boss Brian Horton told the Macclesfield Express: "Tommy has been excellent since joining us in January. I spoke to Tony Coton, United's goalkeeping coach, and Sir Alex Ferguson. Both were happy to extend Tommy's loan spell."

In August 2006, he signed a contract with Macclesfield, arriving on a free transfer from Manchester United.

On 6 January 2007, Lee kept goal for Macclesfield Town against English champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Despite suffering an injury to his arm while making a save from Salomon Kalou, he played on until he was sent off for a foul on Andriy Shevchenko. Macclesfield were already 2–1 down by this point, and conceded another four goals after going down to 10 men.

On 22 March 2008, Lee joined Rochdale on loan from Macclesfield Town and played in Rochdale's Play Off Final appearance at Wembley Stadium against Stockport County. Lee was released by Macclesfield in May 2008, before joining Chesterfield on 1 August on a one-year contract.

Chesterfield
In September 2008, Lee was attacked during a night out in Sheffield and required surgery after his jaw was broken. After returning to action, Lee became a fan favourite at Saltergate.

At the end of the season, Lee won the club's Young Spireites Player of the Season award, before signing a two-year deal to keep him at Chesterfield until June 2011. In May 2011, Lee was offered and signed a two-year extension, keeping him at the club until June 2013. Lee has been a firm favourite with the Chesterfield fans, his popularity easily notable as the goalkeeper picked up the fan-voted Player of the Year Award two years running.

Lee played every minute of the Spireites' championship-winning 2010–11 season. His fine form was rewarded as he was placed in the PFA Team of the Year for that season. In September 2011, Lee was injured in a game against Bury. The side missed him to the extent that without him they began a long series of matches without winning and slumped to the bottom of the League One table.

In January 2012, Lee was named man of the match in both legs of the Football League Trophy Northern Final, helping Chesterfield to a 3–1 win and their first trip to the new Wembley Stadium. In the final on 25 March 2012, Lee helped his team keep a clean sheet in a 2–0 win over the much fancied Swindon Town, making a crucial flying save to tip a header over the bar in the final minutes of the game.

In January 2013 Lee signed a three-year contract keeping him at Chesterfield until 2016.

Tommy Lee again found himself in the League 2 PFA Team of the Year, on the same day he kept a clean sheet against Burton Albion to take the Spireites back to League 1 on 27 April 2014.

On 22 July 2015, Lee signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2018. On 2 January 2016, Lee made his 300th league appearance for the Spireites in a 7–1 victory at home against Shrewsbury Town.

On 6 November 2017, Lee announced his retirement from football with immediate effect, aged 31, due to a recurring shoulder injury.

On 25 July 2018, Lee was honoured with a testimonial match against Wigan Athletic, managed by former Chesterfield manager Paul Cook. Lee started the match and played the opening six minutes before being substituted to a standing ovation. The match finished 1–1.

Coaching career
On 24 August 2018, Lee joined the academy of Sheffield Wednesday as a goalkeeping coach. In August 2020, he moved across the city to join Sheffield United as their academy goalkeeping coach.

Honours

The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned

The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned is a 1989 horror novel by American writer Anne Rice. Taking place during the early twentieth century, it follows the collision between a British archeologist's family and a resurrected mummy. The novel ends with the statement, "The Adventures of Ramses the Damned Shall Continue", and twenty-eight years later, Rice fulfilled this promise with Ramses the Damned: The Passion of Cleopatra, written in collaboration with her son, novelist Christopher Rice. A jointly-authored third novel in this series, Ramses the Damned: The Reign of Osiris, was released on February 1, 2022, two months after Anne Rice's death.

Plot introduction
During the Edwardian period in 1914, a wealthy shipping-magnate-turned-archaeologist, Lawrence Stratford, discovers an unusual tomb. The mummy inside is identified as the pharaoh Ramses II, the most powerful and most celebrated pharaoh in the history of Egypt, despite the tomb's dating only to the first century B.C., 1100 years after the documented death of Ramses II. Before he can fully investigate this claim, Lawrence unexpectedly falls dead, and those around him fear he was the victim of a curse placed on the tomb. The mummy and other belongings are shipped off to London, and placed on temporary display in Lawrence's house before they are taken by the British Museum.

Lawrence's daughter Julie Stratford is the designated heir to her father's shipping company, as well as the dysfunctional family that surrounds it. Her cousin Henry is an alcoholic and gambling addict who has been draining the family fortune with the aid of his father. Julie is engaged to marry Alex Savarell, a viscount and son of Elliott, the current Earl of Rutherford. Although the marriage is a standard alliance between the wealthy Stratfords and an impoverished family of nobles, Alex truly loves Julie, though she is unable to return these feelings.

Into this unstable situation comes the mummy Ramses, who awakes shortly after his sarcophagus is placed in Julie's house.

Plot summary
Henry murders his uncle Lawrence with a poison found in the mummy's tomb. When Henry tries to poison Julie in the same manner, Ramses comes to life and attempts to kill Henry, but succeeds only in scaring him away. After his awakening, Julie and Ramses are instantly attracted to each other. Ramses quickly adopts a pseudonym, "Reginald Ramsey", and claims to be an Egyptologist to throw off the accusation made by the frightened Henry that a "bloody mummy" rose from the crypt to harm him. With superhuman intelligence and the ability to learn quickly, Ramses quickly learns the English language and, with the help of an eager Julie, is given a tour of modern London and new technology that had arisen during the past two thousand years. While Henry's accusations are passed off as the rantings of a drunkard, the elderly and ailing Elliott Savarell suspects that it may be the truth. He trails Ramses and comes to believe that he is who Henry claims him to be.

During Ramses's reign as pharaoh, he had learned from a Hittite priestess the formula for an elixir that grants eternal life. The potion not only made him immortal, but also allows his body to regenerate from damage that would kill a normal human, such as multiple bullet wounds. He requires neither food nor drink nor sleep, and only the sun's rays to maintain his life. However, he still craves food and certain other physical pleasures, like sex, smoking, and alcohol.

Ramses nurses a deep secret. Prior to the Roman conquest of Egypt, he had served as an immortal advisor to its kings and queens, and the last person to awake him for consultation had been Cleopatra, the last ruler of Egypt. Although he served as Cleopatra's counsel (and encouraged her to romance Julius Caesar in a bid to keep the country independent), he had also fallen in love with her, and had revealed to her the secrets of the elixir. Having fallen in love with Mark Antony in defiance of Ramses's advice, Cleopatra refuses the elixir and chooses suicide upon Antony's death. In his depression, Ramses had given himself the name "Ramses the Damned", and had Egyptian priests seal him away underground.

With Julie's encouragement, Ramses begins to recover. While Henry is convinced that Ramses is an evil monster ready to kill the entire family, Elliott reads Lawrence's notes and chases after Ramses to learn the secret of the elixir of immortality. Eventually, Ramses and Julie decide to visit Egypt one last time so that Ramses can say good-bye to his past. Although Ramses appears to be coming to terms with his past, upon visiting the Cairo Museum, he unexpectedly recognizes an unidentified mummy as being that of Cleopatra. Breaking into the museum later at night simply to see her, he impulsively pours some of the elixir onto the dead body. Cleopatra is revived, but by Ramses not pouring the entire vial of elixir on her, the restoration is incomplete; she is a half-formed monstrosity, awake and conscious yet with parts of her face, hands, and torso still gone. Her incomplete brain restoration leaves her not totally coherent; though Ramses later repairs her body with more of the potion, she appears to be insane and kills a number of people, including Henry. Cleopatra unexpectedly falls in love with Elliot's son Alex though realizes a life with him cannot last because of his mortality and his innocence. Because Ramses would not give her long-ago love Mark Antony the elixir to save his life, Cleopatra holds a passionate hatred for him and seeks to even the score by killing his current love: Julie Stratford.

Cleopatra ultimately falters before killing Julie, realizing that the girl should not be punished for Ramses's actions. She also comes to regret the other murders she has committed. In an attempt to escape Ramses, Cleopatra "dies" when her car is hit by a train and is consumed by a fiery explosion so hot that it "could kill even an immortal". Ramses later gives the elixir to Julie after she attempts suicide in her grief for her loss of him, and he promises to stay with her for eternity. To thank him for his help in covering up all the unusual events, Ramses also gives the elixir to a dying Elliott, who drinks it after serious consideration of the consequences: dying miserably, or living eternally even when wishing for nothing but oblivion. Cleopatra has secretly survived the crash, and awakens under the care of a British doctor in Sudan. She vows to find Ramses again someday for revenge.

Development
The Mummy was originally a film script by Rice, who said producers "wanted to change everything." She explained, "I think I went off to create that book just to spite them, I was so furious."

Major themes
Like the vampires of Rice's Vampire Chronicles, those who take the elixir become immortal, inhumanly strong, and unable to die from normal means. These individuals could even be said to be "reverse vampires" since they derive their strength from the sun, and cannot live without it. Unlike vampires, they are able to eat, drink and function as normal humans. However, this immortality comes with a strange price. Those who drink the potion are constantly driven to sate their senses. They constantly crave food and drink, although they need neither to survive. They have an extremely heightened libido. Moreover, their bodies continually blunt drugs that give humans pleasure. For example, Ramses constantly drinks and smokes because the "buzz" the alcohol or nicotine would normally give him fades after a few moments.

But perhaps most importantly, the elixir causes any organic substance to become invulnerable and self-sustaining. Having once tested it upon livestock and crops in his own time, he had been horrified to find that such things transformed by the elixir cannot be digested and continually regenerate even inside the intestines, with bloody and gruesome results. And once this elixir is used, it cannot be undone and should it be poured into a fire, it would become dust that could then be swept by rain into the rivers or the oceans, creating immortal fish and sea creatures, or watering plants to become invulnerable. Therefore, the elixir, once brewed, cannot be disposed of by any means other than deliberate consumption. For this reason, the elixir's formula is strictly hidden by Ramses, though the ingredients are common and easily obtained. His feud with Cleopatra before the events of the novel had begun when he refused to create an "immortal army" for Mark Antony's use.

As with many Rice novels, sexuality tends to be fluid. Both Elliott and Lawrence are described as bisexual—when younger, they were lovers, but both eventually married and had children. In the past, Henry had an affair with Elliott as well, but his only reason may have been a failed blackmail attempt, as at the time of the novel, Henry has at least two mistresses.

As always, Rice employs considerable irony. For example, after his death, Henry's corpse ends up in a "mummy factory" (during the Egyptian craze of the early 1900s, natives often took modern corpses and made them into mummies for sale to gullible tourists). Elliott, his nemesis, gets the last laugh when a merchant tries to sell him Henry's mummy.

Allusions and references to other works
Rice credited the authors of several turn-of-the-century mummy stories with her inspiration, including Arthur Conan Doyle ("Lot No. 249" and "The Ring of Thoth"), H. Rider Haggard (She), and "All who have brought 'the mummy' to life in stories, novels and film." England during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries fell under a fad for Ancient Egypt, a phenomenon also known as Egyptomania which produced many works of fiction from which Rice could draw. It has been argued that William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, as well as other popular culture representations of Cleopatra, have a discernible influence on Rice's novel.

Reception
Publishers Weekly called the novel "an uneasy marriage of romance and horror ... marinated in sentimentality, melodrama and absurdity ... Missing a ripe opportunity to skewer 20th-century values and sexual mores, [Rice], ever-fascinated with the undead, avoids character and plot development, larding largely lifeless, sloppy prose with a surfeit of epiphanies and calamities."

Sequels
During a 2014 interview, Rice stated that she had delved back into the fictional universe established in The Mummy and that there was a strong possibility she could pen a sequel. In February 2017, Rice announced a new Ramses novel, co-written with her son, novelist Christopher Rice. Ramses the Damned: The Passion of Cleopatra was published on November 21, 2017. A jointly-authored third novel in this series, Ramses the Damned: The Reign of Osiris, was released on February 1, 2022, two months after Anne Rice's death.

Massive clean-up in the individual profiles
I believe we should do something about the individual profiles. All of them seem to lack some sort of notability, because basically the majority of them are just summarizations of the character themselves.

I have some information we could use for a "reception" section for the characters, particularly of the Adventure characters. We could analyze how much their character singles sold and how well they ranked on the Oricon charts. (This is Takeru's, for example) In addition, Toei released a series of online polls on their website throughout the end of Adventure and until the end of 02, so we can see who voters voted as the "best" in a certain category. lullabying (talk) 19:58, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Amb (princely state)

Amb or the State of Amb was a princely state in the present day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region of Pakistan. Together with Phulra, it was known as Feudal Tanawal ruled by Tanoli tribe. A Royal Tenure start from Timurid Empire and end on Last Nawab Muhammad Farid Khan Tanoli. Amb was only powerful state incorporated in Pakistan with armed civilized military of 12,000 men, 300 Howitzer with their own manufacturing arms factory, today part of the Pakistan Army. Amb had a influence control roots in Swat, Dir and Chitral. A gaining of powerful roots of Amb military start from Second Anglo-Sikh War when East India Company provide military equipment to Jehandad Khan Tanoli to fight against Sikh, and then next British Empire in Second anglo-Afghan War. At the end of December 1947, the Nawab of Amb state acceded to Pakistan while retaining internal self-government. Amb continued as a princely state of Pakistan until 1969, when it was incorporated into the North West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).

The state was named after the town of Amb. After the death of the last Nawab, Muhammad Farid Khan Tanoli, the fighting between the descendants of the state of Amb for power continued, which ended in 1971, when the Pakistani army ended or occupied the integration. In 1972, the recognition of their royal status was ended by the Government of Pakistan. In 1974, the Tarbela Dam completely destroyed the capital of Amb and the palaces of the Amb state.

Wealth and Military Status

Amb was considered a powerful and important state during Durrani, Mughal and British Raj. The total revenue of the state in 1901 was 36-42 lakhs when the price of 1 tola gold is 20 British Rupee. In 1901, state's income was 6 lakhs and second part of its revenue was the collection of tax from other state's Nawabs and Maharajahs, who used the routes of Tanawal and Attock for visiting other countries. This tax was also collected by Traders and Merchants who used that routes. In this way, Nawab of Amb fought many wars with British, Durrani and Sikh this is the main cause of war.

History
Amb state, once known as Mulk-e-Tanawal (country/area of Tanawal), was the home of the Tanoli. The region's early history dates back to the Mughal Empire, when around year 1647, the Tanoli tribe conquered and settled by the Indus River, surrounded by wide area, which came to be known as Tanawal. Before Tanawal, it was known as the Pakhli Sultanate (Karluks Turk), which ruled over Hazara, who came to Timur around 1380 to 1390. This was the only state of the Mughal Empire which did not pay tax to Delhi. The rule of the Karluks ended when the Swatis arrived. The last Karluks ruler was Sultan Mehmood Khurd, accordingly the start of Tanoli's rule. The ancestry can be traced back to the Ghilji who are the descendants of Bettani. When the Durrani tribe arrived in India, the Tanoli chieftain Suba Khan Tanoli accepted Durrani rule in 1755 and helped the empire during the Third Battle of Panipat.

In 1854, the British frontier officer General James Abbott postulated that Aornos was located on the Mahaban range, south of modern Buner District. In 1839, he proposed to recognise Embolina, as had Ranjit Singh's mercenary General Claude Auguste Court, as the village of Amb situated on the right bank of the Indus eight miles east of Mahaban. This became the location from which it is thought that the Nawabs of Amb took their title in later years.

Descent and ruling dynasty
The Tanoli describe themselves as Pashtuns from the Ghazni area,. The Tanoli submitted to British colonial rule in the 1840s.

Nawab Khan Tanoli
Mir Nawab Khan Tanoli was the ruler of The Tanawal valley and the Chief of the Hazara region from circa 1810 until he died in 1818. During his rule, he faced many attacks from the Sikh Empire and Durrani Empire, resulting in a significant loss of territory. He was 26 years old, when he was assassinated by Azim Khan on October 13, 1818 in the Stratagem of Peshawar.

The main reason for the war is that Mir Nawab Khan defied Durrani and the other main reason was that, when Azim Khan's mother was traveling to Kashmir via Tanwal, Nawab Khan's soldier collected the taxes from her. Azim Khan then traveled through Tanwal and then Nawab Khan's soldiers collected taxes through Azim Khan as well. After Azim Khan took the complaint to the Afghan court, the Afghan Ruler of that time immediately sent his army.

Nawab Khan Tanoli's sons, Painda Khan and Maddad Khan began the series of rebellion against the Sikhs and Durrani, which continued throughout his lifetime.

Painda Khan Tanoli
From about 1813, Painda Khan Tanoli is famed for his staunch rebellion against Maharaja Ranjit Singh's governors of Hazara. He was the son of Mir Nawab Khan Tanoli.

From about 1813, Painda Khan Tanoli engaged in a lifelong rebellion against the Sikhs, who, realizing the potential dangers of his rebellion, set up forts at strategic locations to keep him in check. Hari Singh Nalwa took this initiative during his governorship. To consolidate his hold on Tanawal and to unite the Tanoli people, Tanoli first had to contend with his major rivals within the tribe itself, that is, the chiefs of the Suba Khani/Pallal Khel section, whom he subdued after a bitter struggle.

Tanoli set the tone for regional resistance in Upper Hazara against Sikh rule. In 1828, he created and gifted the smaller neighbouring state of Phulra to his younger brother Maddad Khan Tanoli.

Painda Khan briefly took over the valley of Agror in 1834. Agror was restored to Ata Muhammad Khan, the chief of that area, a descendant of Akhund Ahmed Sad-ud-din.

Jehandad Khan Tanoli
He was the son of Mir Painda Khan Tanoli. In 1852, Jehandad Khan Tanoli was summoned by the President of the Board of Administration about a murder enquiry of two British officers, supposedly on his lands. In fact, this was related to the murder of two British salt tax collectors by some tribesmen in the neighbouring Kala Dhaka or Black Mountain area, which eventually led to the punitive First Black Mountain campaign/expedition of 1852. The Board of Administration President was Sir John Lawrence (later the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab), and he visited Haripur, in Hazara, where he invited many Hazara chiefs to see him on various matters, at a general Durbar. Jehandad Khan Tanoli succeeded in establishing his innocence and consolidated his position.

Jahandad Khan Tanoli's relationship with British India is summed in the following lines in a letter dated 8 January 1859 from R. Temple, Secretary to the Punjab Chief Commissioner, addressed to the Punjab Financial Commissioner: "'5. The term "Jagir" has never appeared to me applicable in any sense to this [Jehandad Khan's] hereditary domain [Upper Tannowul], for it was never granted as such by the Sikhs or by our Government; we upheld the Khan as we found him in his position as a feudal lord and large proprietor.'

Jehandad's son, Nawab Bahadur Sir Muhammed Akram Khan Tanoli, was given the title of Nawab (Sovereign Ruler) in perpetuity by the British.

Muhammad Akram Khan Tanoli
The next chief of the Tanoli, a son of Jahandad Khan Tanoli, was Akram Khan Tanoli KCSI 68–1907). He was a popular chief. During his tenure, the fort at Shergarh was built along with forts in Dogah and Shahkot. His rule was a peaceful time for Tanawal. He opposed construction of schools in the state, on advice given by British.

Muhammad Khan Zaman Khan Tanoli
Khan Zaman Khan Tanoli succeeded his father, taking over the reins of power in Tanawal in Amb. He helped the British in carrying out the later Black Mountain (Kala Dhaka/Tor Ghar) expeditions.

Muhammad Farid Khan Tanoli
Muhammad Farid Khan Tanoli had good relations with Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Liaqat Ali Khan. His contributions to the Pakistan movement have been acknowledged by letters from Jinnah. In 1947, he acceded his state to Pakistan by signing the Instrument of Accession in favour of Pakistan. In 1969, the state was incorporated into the North West Frontier Province (now Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa) and in 1972, the Government of Pakistan ceased to recognise the royal status of the Nawab.

Muhammad Saeed Khan Tanoli
Muhammad Saeed Khan Tanoli, son of Muhammad Farid Khan Tanoli, the last nawab of Amb, studied at the Burn Hall School in Abbottabad (now the Army Burn Hall College) and the Gordon College in Rawalpindi. Nawab Saeed Khan Tanoli ruled for a period of three years.

Salahuddin Saeed Khan Tanoli
Salahuddin Saeed Khan Tanoli is the present chief of Tanolis and the titular Nawab of Amb. He is the son of Nawab Muhammad Saeed Khan Tanoli. He holds the record as the youngest parliamentarian ever elected to the Pakistan National Assembly, and then went on to be elected five times to the Pakistan National Assembly (from 1985 to 1997), a feat achieved by only seven other Pakistani parliamentarians, including the former Pakistani prime minister, Nawaz Sharif.

Amb State Postal Service and Passport
Existing alongside British India were hundreds of princely states, some 565 in all, but most of them did not issue postage stamps. Only around forty of the states issued their own postage stamps, and Amb State was one of them, having its own postal service. The rest used the stamps of the All India Postal Service.

Present geography
The state consists of the following present day Union Councils of Mansehra, Torghar, and Haripur Districts:

The Mansehra and Torghar districts include Bandi Shungli, Shergarh, Karorri, Nika Pani, Darband, Dara Shanaya, Swan Miara, Lassan Nawab, Perhinna, Phulrra, Jhokan, and Palsala. The Haripur district includes Baitgali, Nara AmaNara Amazz, Kalinjar, and Beer.
