ASEE PRISM - May-June 2002 - Leading the Way To Kim Battle, an African American lecturing in mechanical engineering at Wits, the significance of her new boss's appointment goes beyond the message that, “Wits is transforming and not stuck,” as she says. Mercy Shuma-Iwisi, a Tanzanian who started lecturing at Wits last year, found that in her first quarter, the only students to visit her office were Africans, though she questions whether this was because of a greater comfort level or a greater need for help. Nkado's credentials will give pause to anyone who might label his appointment “affirmative.” From his bachelor's degree at Nigeria's Ahmadu Bello University, where he was named top engineering student, to his master of business administration degree from Wits University, where he won best graduating part-time M.B.A., accolades have followed Nkado. www.prism-magazine.org /mayjune02/leading.cfm   (1464 words)

Battle Royale Movie Review - Air Massive Global Media Weblog: Movie Review Ultimately, Battle Royale stands as a kind of What If scenario that plays out one possible method for dealing with a generation of Japanese teenagers ever more violent, unruly and disaffected within a culture that imposes great pressures on its youth and an educational system at its wits' end on how to deal with them. The movie was his penultimate piece of cinema and its sequel, "Battle Royale II," was the last movie he made before succumbing to bone cancer in 2003. Quentin Tarrantino is supposedly a fan of "Battle Royale" and was inspired to cast one of the film's stars, the actress Chiaki Kuriyama, as the school-girl-uniformed assassin Go Go Yubari in his recent (and brilliant) cinematic blood-fest, "Kill Bill Vol. www.airmassive.com /amblog_021704.html   (1068 words)

Digital Dante: Students' Work: How To Win Friends and Influence People However, at this point in the story, once confronted by his lifelong enemies, the very ones who forced him into the permanent exile which inspired this book, Dante sheds his meek skin and dons his battle armor to challenge various Ghibellines to a match of wits and a war of words. As a high-ranking politician, Dante took several steps to battle the actions of both the Ghibellines, and his other enemy, Pope Boniface Vlil. Up until that point in the story, Dante had been shy and almost cowardly, relying greatly on the support of Virgil, his guide. dante.ilt.columbia.edu /papers/htwfaip   (2492 words)

REVIEW - Was Huck Black? But since this passage is not only not humorous but makes no satirical point, illustrating no battle of wits between the young slave and another person, the passage fails to support Fishkin's point. The young slave's use of deception is supposed to be one of the characteristics of signifying that are exemplified in his speech in this passage--and Fishkin identifies a number of others. A further failing of this chapter is that Fishkin gives no examples of African-American stories illustrating the "signifying" style of satire. www.yorku.ca /twainweb/reviews/whb.html   (176 words)

Kidnapped by drug dealers, Darren and Kate kill their captors and escape with the drug cartel's super-secret, encrypted satellite phone, which they assume is just an ordinary cell phone. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0743229827?v=glance   (1161 words)

Henri Dunant. A Memory of Solferino. 1962 (English translation). Footnotes. The latter was ably assisted, after the battle of Solferino, by M. Faraldo, Commissary General of the Province Brescia, whose excellent work in this serious emergency, and fine character, deserve the highest praise. Yet his surprise had not in it any vestige of the secret remorse which is felt on their waking (as they call it) by men who charge themselves with having lost their wits in giving free play to a sudden impulse of generosity. General de Beaufort is the nephew of the late honourable Count de Bude, member of the General Council of the Ain, who died recently in Geneva in July 1862, mourned by all who knew him, and whose kind heart and noble and amiable qualities had endeared him to his many friends. www.ku.edu /carrie/specoll/AFS/library/1-roots/Dunant2/footnotes.html   (2525 words)
