Birmingham Business School History
Sir William Ashley
In 1901, Sir William Ashley took the first Chair of Commerce at the school, where he fostered the development of its commercial programme. From 1902 until 1923 he served as first Professor of Commerce and Dean of the Faculty, which he was instrumental in founding. At the time it was England’s first Faculty of Commerce, and a hundred years later there are over one hundred Business Schools in the UK; Birmingham can perhaps claim to be the ancestor of them all. Ashley said in 1902 that the aim of the new Faculty was the education not of the “rank and file, but of the officers of the industrial and commercial army: of those who, as principals, directors, managers, secretaries, heads of department, etc., will ultimately guide the business activity of the country.”
In its first year, the annual costs of the Faculty, including staff salaries, were £8,200 - there were six students, a lecture room and two classrooms. By 1908, fifteen men had graduated from the School, many with businesses waiting for their skills. Ashley stated: “I quite expect that before I retire I shall be able to gather round me a room full of Managers and Managing Directors who have been students in the Faculty of Commerce.” A large room would be needed now: over the past 100 years it is estimated that more than 15,000 students have passed successfully through the School.
The Birmingham Business School Today
The School is now an internationally renowned research institution with over 130 teaching and research staff delivering a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and tailor-made programmes to companies and senior management teams. The School is accredited by both AMBA and EQUIS and has a thriving post-graduate research community.
In 2002, the School celebrated its cetenary and in March 2005 the School’s new £20m home, University House, was officially opened by Sir Dominic Cadbury.
In 2008, the School expanded to include the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies and the Department of Economics. The ‘new look’ BBS now includes five academic departments, comprising: Management, Marketing, Accounting and Finance, Economics, and the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies.
Recent research in the School has attracted widespread media attention, for example on the effects of the MG Rover collapse and the policy response to this (click here), led by Professor David Bailey.
The current Director of the School is David Dickinson. Previous directors have included Jonathan Michie, David Bailey, Peter Turnbull, John Samuels and Colin Rickwood.
The School has an active, high-powered International Advisory Board chaired by Lord Digby Jones of Birmingham.
In 2008 the School’s MBA programme was ranked 67th best in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit in their annual ranking of the Top 100 MBA programmes in the world, with the School 4th best in the world in terms of diversity of recruiters and 7th best in terms of student quality.
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), the Birmingham Business School was submitted under the Business and Management Studies sub-panel, and 90% of research activity submitted by the School was rated as being of international standing. There are various metrics that can be used to construct research rankings. When looking at the proportion of activity ranked at the 4* (world class) level, Birmingham was ranked 14th out of 90 Business submissions. At the 3*/4* level it ranks at 21 out of 90, and on various other measures it ranks at 19. This puts the Birmingham Business School in the same category of business schools as Aston, Cranfield, Leeds and Loughborough.
Noted academics at the School include Stan Siebert, Helen Rainbird, Isabelle Szmigin, Doug West, Lisa De Propris, Peter Sinclair, Mansoob Murshed, Mike Theobald, Andy Mullineux, Richard Green, Mary O’Mahoney, John Child, Michael Czinkota, Chris Mabey, David Mullins and others.
Notable BBS alumni include Manchester United Chief Executive David Gill, Sir Ian Prosser, Deputy Chairman of BP,, Ian Tyler, CEO at Balfour Beatty, David Gilbey (co-founder of Aubert Park Ventures Ltd, formerly Vice President of AOL), and Professor David Bailey, Chair of the Regional Studies Association, and an active media commentator.

RIPEMD-160 (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest) is a 160-bit message digest algorithm (and cryptographic hash function) developed in Leuven (Belgium) by Hans Dobbertin, Antoon Bosselaers and Bart Preneel at the COSIC research group at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, and first published in 1996. It is an improved version of RIPEMD, which in turn was based upon the design principles used in MD4, and is similar in performance to the more popular SHA-1.
There also exist 128, 256 and 320-bit versions of this algorithm, called RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-256, and RIPEMD-320, respectively. The 128-bit version was intended only as a drop-in replacement for the original RIPEMD, which was also 128-bit, and which had been found to have questionable security. The 256 and 320-bit versions diminish only the chance of accidental collision, and don’t have higher levels of security as compared to, respectively, RIPEMD-128 and RIPEMD-160.
RIPEMD-160 was designed in the openacademic community, in contrast to the NSA-designed family of algorithms, SHA. On the other hand, RIPEMD-160 appears to be used somewhat less frequently than SHA-1, which may have caused it to be less scrutinized than SHA-1.
RIPEMD-160 is not known to be constrained by any patents.
In August 2004, a collision was reported for the original RIPEMD (PDF). This does not apply to RIPEMD-160.
RIPEMD-160 hashes
The 160-bit RIPEMD-160 hashes (also termed RIPE message digests) are typically represented as 40-digit hexadecimal numbers. The following demonstrates a 43-byte ASCII input and the corresponding RIPEMD-160 hash:
RIPEMD-160("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog") =
37f332f68db77bd9d7edd4969571ad671cf9dd3b
Even a small change in the message will (with overwhelming probability) result in a completely different hash, e.g. changing d to c:
RIPEMD-160("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy cog") =
132072df690933835eb8b6ad0b77e7b6f14acad7

The Steppe Front and later the 2nd Ukrainian Front was a Front (military subdivision), effectively an Army group sized formation, of the Soviet Army during the Second World War. This sense of the term “front” is not identical with the more general usage of military front which indicates a geographic area in wartime, although a Soviet Front may operate within designated boundaries.
History
On 9 July 1943 the Stavka formed a new Reserve Front in the Voronezh region, effective 30 April. It consisted of the command component of the 2nd Reserve Army (augmented by several officer and NCO courses), the 27th, 52nd, 53rd, 46th, 47th, 4th Guards Tank, 5th Air Army and eight mobile corps (Tank, Guards Tank, and Mechanised). Most of these armies had been reassigned from the Northwestern Front, North Caucasus Front, or the STAVKA Reserve, the RVGK. On 13 April 1943 the Front was renamed the Steppe Military District, to be effective 15 April.
The Steppe Military District was redesignated the Steppe Front on July 9, 1943. It incorporated forces from the Soviet rear areas to the West of Kursk salient along the line Tula-Yelets-Stary Oskol-Rossosh (????-????-?????? ?????-???????). It included units pulled out of the battles of Stalingrad and Leningrad and others. Under the command of Colonel General Ivan Konev from July to October 1943, it took part in the offensive of the Battle of Kursk.
It was renamed the 2nd Ukrainian Front on October 20, 1943.
2nd Ukrainian Front
During the Iassy-Kishinev Operation, 2nd Ukrainian Front, led by Army General Rodion Malinovsky, comprised:
6th Guards Tank Army - Major General A.G. Kravchenko
18th Tank Corps - Major General V.I. Polozkov
Cavalry-Mechanized Group Gorshkov - Major General S.I.Gorshkov
5th Guards Cavalry Corps
23rd Tank Corps - Lieutenant General A.O. Akhmanov
Fourth Guards Army - Galanin
27th Army - Lieutenant General S.G. Trofimenko
52nd Army - Koroteev
Seventh Guards Army- Shumilov
40th Army - Lieutenant General F.F. Zhmachenko
53rd Army - Lieutenant General I.M. Managarov

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell is a 2004 novel told in the first person by author David Michaels. The novel is based on the video game series Splinter Cell created by author Tom Clancy. The series chronicles the adventures and the stealth actions of the fictional character Sam Fisher.
After the book was published in 2004, Raymond Benson announced that he had written it, using the pseudonym David Michaels. Benson is best known for being the official author of the James Bond series of novels from 1997 to 2002. In 2005, a second book by Benson was released entitled Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Operation Barracuda. After the completion of that book, a new author was hired to continue the series under the same pseudonym.

Plot introduction
Sam Fisher, a special agent, or Splinter Cell, is called upon to investigate the deaths of other Splinter Cell agents. He finds ties to an arms smuggling ring, and their ties to a mysterious terrorist group known as “The Shadows”.
Plot summary
The plot of the novel takes place in 2004 and concerns an Iranian terrorist group called “The Shadows”. Led by Nasir Tarighian, it is the goal of Tarighian to use a weapon of mass destruction codenamed “The Babylon Phoenix” against the city of Baghdad as revenge for the actions taken by Iraq against Iran during the 1980s that resulted in the murder of his wife and children. While there really isn’t much benefit to the group today, Tarighian attempts to sell the scheme to his organization by claiming that it would also create further disorder in Iraq and in the Middle East, which would inevitably cause the people to turn against the “West”, namely the United States since Iraq is currently under their watch. Tarighian, a former “great warrior” during the Iran–Iraq War and often proclaimed hero in Iran, hoped that by doing this the Iranian people would rejoice and urge the Iranian government to invade and conquer Iraq after the U.S is forced out of the region. Most of the members of the Shadows disagree with the course of action, feeling that the result is extremely unlikely and that the scheme is nothing more than a 20 year-old vendetta by Tarighian to get back at Iraq for the death of his wife and children during the war. These members feel the same effect of destabilization in the region can be achieved by attacking either Tel Aviv or Jerusalem in Israel.
The novel also involves a terrorist arms dealing organization named “The Shop.” Headed by Andrei Zdrok, their aim is purely business; to make money by supplying arms to anyone with money regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion. The Shop is one of the few organizations in the world that is aware of the black-ops division of the NSA, named “Third Echelon”, which sends covert agents into the world called Splinter Cells, to exercise the use of a “fifth freedom”; the freedom to do whatever is necessary to preserve national security and peace for the United States. The Shop, using their knowledge (the source of which is revealed in the sequal, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Operation Barracuda to be a traitor within third Echelon itself) and resources, has taken the liberty of assassinating Splinter Cells whenever possible thus to increase their profit margin by keeping the shipment of arms from falling into unwanted hands.
Sam Fisher is deployed by Third Echelon to the Middle East to uncover the truth about the murder of a Splinter Cell agent and track down the source of a shipment of arms seized by the Iraqi police. There he surveys and infiltrates numerous locations relating to both the Shop and the Shadows, all the while unaware that the Shop has targeted him and his only daughter, Sarah.
Character histories
Rick Benton - A Splinter Cell stationed in Belgium. He asks Lieutenant Colonel Dirk Verbaken to give him a file on Gerald Bull. Murdered by Vlad and Yuri.
Lieutenant Colonel Dirk Verbaken - A member of the Belgian Military Intelligence and Security Service, he is one of Rick Benton’s contacts. He gives him the file on Gerard Bull. Murdered by Vlad and Yuri.
Lieutenant Colonel Dan Petlow - A Lieutenant Colonel in a U.S. Army outpost, Petlow waws one of Benton’s contacts. He helps point Sam in the right direction. Later arrest a terrorist known as No-Tooth.
Sam Fisher - Fisher is the protagonist of the story. He is a secret field operative known as a “Splinter Cell” for the National Security Agency and its super-secret sub-agency, Third Echelon.
Colonel Irving Lambert - Lambert in the National Security Agency who coordinates most of the missions and objectives. He is Fisher’s “controller.”
Carly St. John - A cryptographer for Third Echelon, she is considered brilliant by Fisher. St. John handles most of Third Echelon’s computer-related tasks including network security and aiding Fisher, when possible, in the field.
Sarah Burns - Fisher’s daughter. She defies Sam by taking a vacation to Israel with her best friend, Rivka Cohen, and her boyfriend, Eli Horowitz. She is later kidnapped by Horowitz, who has secretly been working for The Shop. Held hostage as bait to draw Fisher to Israel where he can be assassinated by The Shop, she is rescued by her father with the aid of the Shin Bet.
Namik Basaran - Namik Basaran is the head of Akdabar Enterprises in Turkey and a supposed informant for the CIA. In truth, Basaran is Nasir Tarighian, the head of The Shadows. The Shadows is a terrorist group that formed during the final days of the Iran–Iraq War. Tarighian was at one point a peaceful man, however, during the war, Iraq bombed his home killing his wife and children. Since that day, he sought revenge and has gone to great lengths to get it. Tarighian aims to use the Babylon Phoenix developed by Professor Mertens to obliterate Baghdad. His group, however, feels that Baghdad, being a Muslim city, should not be the target and instead perform a last minute coup. Tarighian, his bodyguard Farid, and all his loyalists are killed on the orders of Ahmed Mohammed.
Reza Hamadan- Reza Hamadan is an NSA informant living in Iran. Fisher meets with him to gather information on Namik Basaran and for rest. Once Fisher sets out again, Hamadan lends him his car.
Ahmed Mohammed - Mohammed is the second in command of The Shadows. He is a loyalist of Nasir Tarighian, however, after Tarighian decides to use the Babylon Phoenix to target Baghdad, he betrays Tarighian and stages a coup by killing Tarighian. Mohammed then orders the target changed to Jerusalem. Mohammed is prevented and presumably killed during an aerial raid carried out jointly by the U.S., the British, and the Turkish airforce.
Albert Mertens - Professor Mertens is the engineer who designs the Babylon Phoenix. His work was strongly influenced by his mentor Gerald Bull and his Project Babylon “supergun”. Mertens allies himself with Mohammed against Tarighian, saying that attacking Jerusalem is a better tactically idea and would avenge Gerald Bull, as Mertens is sure the Mossad killed him. Mertens was presumably killed by the aerial raid on the Shadows’ compound, like Mohammed.
Andrei Zdrok - Zdrok is the leader of The Shop, an arms dealing outfit with the goal of making profit by supplying arms to anyone. Zdrok has supplied Namik Basaran with arms; however, he quickly turns against Basaran after one of his warehouses is destroyed presumably by The Shadows, in addition to The Shadows having decided not to pay for a shipment of arms that was captured by the Iraqi police. In truth, Sam Fisher destroyed the warehouse and Third Echelon prevented The Shadow’s transaction from reaching him. After being discovered as the leader of The Shop, Zdrok was forced to leave behind anything he could not carry in his own two hands and flee.
Vlad and Yuri - Vlad and Yuri are assassins working for The Shop. They were the most trusted of one of the Shop’s masterminds while he was in the KGB. They have been hired by The Shop to eliminate the Splinter Cells. They were told to find Fisher and they used Eli Horowitz to kidnap Fisher’s daughter as “bait”. Both are eventually killed by Fisher and the Shin Bet during a raid on the warehouse where they held Sarah.
Eli Horowitz - Horowitz is Sarah’s boyfriend at Northwestern University in Illinois. While there he studied music, but was deported for an expired visa and for being listed on the terrorist watch list. He has been assigned by The Shop to kidnap Sarah and deliver her to Vlad and Yuri. He was ambushed by Fisher, and after the rest of his Shop team was killed, Fisher was going to kill Eli for endangering Sarah’s life, but went lenient on account of the expression of cowardice on Eli’s face stopped him, so Fisher spared him, and handed him over to the Shin Bet, who imprisoned him for his crimes.
Noel Brooks - Brooks is Eli Horowitz’s friend and works for the Shop. He is gunned down by Shin Bet soldiers in the firefight inside the abandoned warehouse.
Heinrich Eisler - Eisler is a friend of Albert Mertens and was Alberts cellmate in prison. He also murdered Basarain’s aka. Tarighian’s bodyguard Farid with his knife, which he is very skilled with. Eisler is presumably killed along with Mertens and Mohammed.

The 1911 Grand Prix season consisted of Grand Prix races in the United States and Europe. The first Indianapolis 500 was held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the American Grand Prize was again held in Savannah.
The Automobile Club de la Sarthe organized the Grand Prix de France of 1911. This race is not considered to be part of the lineage of French Grands Prix, as it was a separate event from the official French Grand Prix, the Grand Prix de l’ACF, organized by the Automobile Club de France from 1906 onwards.

Mount Akiha
(Redirected from Mount Akiba)
Jump to: navigation, search
Mount Akiha(???,Akiha-san?) is a mountain in Tenry?-ku, Hamamatsu (in the former town of Haruno), Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is a peak on a southern spur of the Akaishi Mountains.
Mount Akiha has an elevation of 866 metres (2,840 ft). It is the location of the Akihasan Hong? Akiha Jinja shrine, dedicated to a god of fire. Belief in the Akiha kami as protectors against fire became widespread in the Edo period of Japanese history, leading to the popularity of pilgrimages to climb this mountain.
Sobekhotep II was an Egyptian king of the 13th Dynasty.
He is known from several monuments, including a statue, several Nile level records in Nubia and from building works at Madamud and Luxor. The Nile level records provide a year date ‘four’, showing that he reigned at least three years.
The Papyrus Boulaq 18, an administrative document of the Theban palace dates under this king and names the ‘king’s wife’ Ay, the vizier Ankhu and other officials.
There is some dispute in Egyptology over the position of this king in the 13th Dynasty. The throne name Sekhemre Khutawyre appears in the Turin King List as 19th king of the 13th Dynasty. However, the Nile level records and his appearance on a papyrus found at Lahun indicate, that he might date to the early 13th Dynasty. In both monument types so far only kings of the late 12th and early 13th Dynasty are mentioned.
In the Turin King List appears as first king Khutawyre and it is therefore possible that the writer of the list confused Khutawyre with Sekhemre Khutawy (compare: Wegaf).
