Adam Hutchison was born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland on the 30th March 1978. He is currently 30 years of age and is working at Blue Mesa, a research facility in Israel. He is not known through The field of physics or Maths, but rather, He is known as Adam Hutchison or "TKM96" through his karting. He has been very successful and won many championships.
Early Life
Adam began his education by studying at St Leonards school in St. Andrews, Scotland. He had a keen interest in Maths and Physics. He also participated in Go-Karting, at which he was successful and which he enjoyed. He became interested in Mechanical Engineering, and theoretical physics as he progressed through school. He passed his high school exams with distinction. He was offered a place in MIT, where he would study Physics.
Adam is a keen Karter and competed all over Scotland and England. Below is just one result from a race he competed in, and a link to Scottish Karting where more results and info on karting can be found.

Later Life
By 1998, when he was 22, he qualified a PhD in Theoretical physics. He joined the Blue Mesa Research Facility, In Israel where he would be a research associate. He worked closely with Yuning Zhou, a fellow friend and along with fellow scientists who developed the low frequency hand held generator. He still continues his Karting hobby, and still works at Blue Mesa to this day.
Although he is not known as a figure in the field of physics or maths, he still works at Blue Mesa along with a team of scientists who work out solutions to everyday problems and have a hand in research projects. Most of the work carried out is Applied maths and physics with some exceptions. He is better known in the field of karting, than science.

The column discussed issues affecting the gay and lesbian community as well as took a comedic look at popular culture and occurrences happening in the author’s life. The column was written by Michael McManus, a recent graduate of the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
How Typical
- Searching for that voice, finding only myself.
- Finding the perfect boyfriend within
- We're all going to hell

IAO131 - a.k.a. I.A.Ω. 131, Aum418 - is an American writer, philosopher, psychologist, mystic, and occultist.
IAO131 is known primarily for his extensive writings on the theory and practice of Thelema, the psycho-spiritual philosophy of Aleister Crowley. A prolific writer and proponent of bringing a more rigorous and scientific attitude to Thelema, IAO131 is also often known to take controversial stances on various positions. He was the creator and editor of the Journal of Thelemic Studies, the first non-partisan, academic journal dedicated to fostering the most modern, current thought in the Thelemic community
IAO131 is a member of the organization Ordo Templi Orientis where he has served in the newly formed Education Committee.
Writings
IAO131's writings started appearing online around the beginning of 2007, focusing mainly on the topics of Thelema, psychology, mysticism, and Buddhism.
Thelema
Potentially his most notable achievement to date is the establishment of the Journal of Thelemic Studies in winter of 2007. The first issue contained articles by notable Thelemites like Gerald del Campo, Ash Bowie, and T Polyphilus. On this production Jason Pitzl-Waters wrote, "The entire journal issue is certainly worth a read for insights into current thought within the Thelema community," and Gerald del Campo remarked, "...A job very nicely done. It is time, that some one showed by way of example, that Thelemites can have opposing views - and yet remain civil. This has been needed for some time." Throughout the month of October in 2007, IAO131 wrote what came to be known as the , which, by its own admission, examines the Book of the Law of Thelema in a "strictly psychological light." This work attempts to show how Thelema is psychologically valid and even seems to have anticipated many psychological models that came decades after the reception of The Book of the Law. This is one of the few openly published commentaries of The Book of the Law and the only work to look at how Thelema can be viewed as psychologically valid. In November 2007, IAO131 wrote an essay on the topic of ethics, morality, and values in Thelema. It is "an in-depth view about how Thelema treats ethics, morality, and values; Thelema's standpoint is correlated both with Nietzsche's three stages of one's metamorphosis as detailed in his "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and also Carl Rogers' (the eminent psychologist) understanding of values to form a robust synthesis." This essay is notable for its clear explanation of the branch of ethics in Thelema and its offering of a controversial solution in Carl Rogers' theories about values.
Quotations
*"Thelema is an all-encompassing paradigm."
*
*"A tree grows tall and strong by virtue of its roots deep underground. The human psyche even more so."
*"We are each emissaries of both life and death even as our heart beats with both systole and diastole and our lungs absorb life with each inhalation only to release it with each exhalation."
*"Solitude, not loneliness. Communion, not assimilation."
*"My joys consist not in quantity, but in the delicate & subtle appreciation of the generally unnoticed."
*"Just as the blazing sunlight is diffused and darkened by the clouds, every individual's Will is obscured by this process of introjecting values. Any star who wishes to burn as brilliantly as possible would surely wish to disperse these clouds. That is, any man or woman who truly wishes to actualize their full potential can and must engage in this process of the re-examination of values."

The awkward turtle is a gesture popular with the teenage generation. It is made by placing one hand above the other, palms down, and wiggling the thumbs. The awkward turtle is used to make awkward situations not awkward. This gesture can be done alone, or accompanied with the word, "awkward."
Variations
There are many variations of the awkward turtle, such as the up-side-down awkward turtle, behind the back awkward turtle, one handed awkward turtle, et cetera. Other spellings also include akward turtle, awkward trtle, akwrd trtl, and more. As well as the awkward turtle, other "awkward" gestures include the awkward balloon, awkward last clap, and the awkward duck. These are just a few examples of gestures made to make awkward positions less awkward.
Uses
The awkward turtle is used in situations such as an awkward silence, when someone says something without thinking, in awkward situations between teenagers, or other similar scenarios. Usually after someone creates the awkward turtle, it is repeated by others who are familiar with the sign, thus removing the awkwardness from the situation. When used in a situation where the gesture is not familiar, the awkward turtle works as a conversation starter, also removing the awkwardness from the area. It helps if the maker of the gesture makes eye-contact with the person they want to send the signal to most, though it is not required.
