In November of 1999 Michael S. Sanders (born in 1939) was the first person ever
to take a submarine to the bottom of the Dead Sea.
While doing research for an article on the Five Cities of the Plain it was brought to Mr. Sanders attention via satellite imagerySatellite images of Dead Sea, that there were some anomalies in the Dead Sea that were unexplainable. Was it possible that these anomalies were the remnants of Sodom and Gomorrah, two of the five cities mentioned in the Bible?
An expedition by the Mysteries of the Bible Research Foundation was put together for the purpose of exploring this phenomenon. The mini-sub Delta owned and operated by Dr. Richard Slater undertook the expedition making several dives with members of the team. Dr. Slater and Mr. Sanders were the first to dive to the bottom of Dead Sea
This undertaking was not without the need for some creative diving, for the mini-sub would not sink. Extra weight was needed to counter the buoyancy of the salted waters. With that thought in mind the bottom of the sea is not littered with trash and garbage as is most bodies of water because it floats and ends up on the shore instead of the bottom. There were however, mounds covered with an unknown red material and apparent straight line structures covered in a thick layer of salt preserved for all time. Like most expeditions, there were more questions than answers to be had.
There was no definite answer for the members of the Dead Sea Research Center. But there was data to study and video to watch over and over for those who wanted to find the answers or ask more questions.

tbaMUD is a MUD codebase, released by The Builder Academy. It is the continued development of the codebase formerly known as CircleMUD written by Jeremy Elson, which is a derivative of DikuMUD that was written in 1990 by Katja Nyboe, Tom Madsen, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Michael Seifert and Sebastian Hammer.
Overview
tbaMUD is an acronym for The Builder Academy Multi User Dungeon. It is both a codebase that can be used by MUD owners, and a training MUD that can be used to learn about how MUD building and administration works.
TbaMUD is highly developed from the programming side, providing a highly stable, developed, organized, and well documented "blank slate" MUD on which a MUD owner can put their own ideas for spells, skills, and classes.
Release information
The last CircleMUD was version 3.5, which was released at the CWG Project website on December 11 2006
tbaMUD was first released as version 3.51 on February 24 2007
tbaMUD v3.52 was released on November 29 2007
Technical information
The latest version of tbaMUD released by The Builder Academy was 3.54. It was released on November 29, 2007.
tbaMUD is written completely in the C programming language.
It differs from CircleMUD in that is has world building facilities and a scripting language for game events built in. It uses OasisOLC as the online creation utility and DG Scripts as it's scripting language.
tbaMUD also has ASCII player files, allowing for easy editing.

Pronounced we-alk
Definition
Whealk is the occupational description of the action by one person using a wheelchair, wheeling, accompanied by one or more other people who are walking.
Conditional requirements of this definition preclude the wheelchair user from being assisted, in which case the action would simply be wheeling. Further, for each wheelchair user, a pattern of walking person accompanyment must be clearly established for the term to hold true. This becomes relevant in sponsored and competitive events.
Additional information
The type of wheelchair, for example a manual or electric wheelchair, is irrelevant.
Notable whealker
The iconic Australian singer, Judith Durham, cited whealking as her "personal Elvis" when covering Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus".
