# Alex Hall (author)

Alexander D. Hall (born August 13, 1990) is an American writer, showrunner, horror fiction novelist, and documentarian. He is known for creating and producing the web series Ben Drowned (2010–2020) and showrunning the subsequent alternate reality game. He was the host of the podcast The Digital Fireside and created several documentaries.

## Biography

Hall was born in Carmel, Indiana and began his career in the creative arts in 2008. He attended Saint Louis University until 2011.
In 2010 Hall wrote Ben Drowned – a story about an artificial intelligence named BEN that haunts a Nintendo 64 video game cartridge. Ben Drowned would go on to receive widespread critical acclaim and have a readership in the millions. The story became an example of a modern urban legend and a major influence in helping to legitimize creepypasta as a literary genre, and created many of the recognizable tropes that are now seen today in modern internet horror stories.
Hall later revealed that he had written another creepypasta under a pen name in an interview. There were attempts to adapt Ben Drowned into a Clive Barker and Warner Brothers series.
Hall created a series of gonzo-style documentaries and hosted a podcast interviewing Americans from eclectic walks of life. The most notable documentary piece from this time was covering a Yale-trained scientist purporting that N,N-Dimethyltryptamine cured his brain cancer.
In 2020 Hall created a sequel to Ben Drowned utilizing OpenAI to generate art and music assets for the story. Hall expressed enthusiasm for this emerging technology, citing that they could expand the possibilities available to independent creators, but urged caution that these tools could quickly render many artists/creators obsolete.
In 2023, Hall met with Senator Elizabeth Warren and other elected representatives on Capitol Hill to advocate for the wider adoption of blockchain technology in the United States and the development of a regulatory framework.

## Critical reception

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| AbsolutePunk | (77%) |
| AllMusic | |
| Billboard | (positive) |
| Entertainment Weekly | C− |
| UGO | C+ |
Jo-Ann Greene of AllMusic wrote that: "Ferras' performances are fabulous throughout, his lyrics thoughtful and eloquent. The themes are mostly personal and occasionally (as on "Dear God" and "My Beautiful Life") questioning, and even the romantic numbers have something new to say. The arrangements are stunning, the sound full, the atmosphere electric -- but with a debut this good, where will Ferras possibly go from here?" Mikael Wood, writing for Billboard, called it "an action-packed collection of high-gloss piano-pop production numbers in which the scenery counts for just as much as the sentiment." Gregory Robson of AbsolutePunk commended the first three tracks for showcasing Ferras' musicianship but felt the rest of the album comes across as "forced, perfectly planned and predictable" and suffers from The Matrix's "overambitious, contrived and squeaky clean" production. Entertainment Weekly's Simon Vozick-Levinson gave the album a "C−" grade, saying the best songs off of it are ruined with "overly slick production" and Ferras' vocal performance, concluding with: "Don't hold your breath waiting for gold at the end of these Rainbows."

# All American Quarter Horse Congress

The All American Quarter Horse Congress (AAQHC) is known as the largest single breed horse show in the world. The annual event is held at the 360 acre Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds in Columbus, Ohio, and is hosted by the Ohio Quarter Horse Association (OQHA). The AAQHC has multiple events in a variety of disciplines. Points and cash awards earned by individual exhibitors who are members of the AQHA, the NRHA, and/or the NSBA also count toward accumulative totals for year-end awards and recognition in the respective associations to which exhibitors are members.

## History

The idea for a Quarter Horse-only competition event in Ohio was proposed at an Ohio Quarter Horse Association (OQHA) meeting in 1966 by horse breeder Blair Folck, and promoted by Folck and OQHA president Pete Drake. The result was the first Annual AAQHC, a three-day Quarter Horse show event held November 3–5, 1967, which attracted more than 5,000 attendees.
In 2014 the AAQHC had grown to a three-week-long event, the world’s largest single-breed horse show. Its events managed more than 17,000 entries and housing was needed for nearly 6,000 registered American Quarter Horses. However, that year there was concern that the event was outgrowing its venue. All American Quarter Horse Congress officials reported to the Ohio Expositions Commission that the show spends $700,000 each year on temporary stall and tent rental. The congress had a 10-year contract with the commission, which ran through 2015 and, by the time of the 2014 show, negotiations had not yet begun for its renewal.
By 2015, the show had grown again into a 25-day event with over 25,000 horse show entries. According to statistics made available by the OQHA, the AAQHC has attracted over 650,000 people to Columbus, Ohio and generates some $409 million to the economy of central Ohio.

## Competitions

The AAQHC organizes point-earning competitions in a variety of disciplines that also offer cash awards and various other prizes. Competition categories included mounted shooting, barrel racing and pole bending.
Individual exhibitors who are members of the AQHA, the NRHA, and/or the NSBA can add their points and cash awards to toward cumulative totals for year-end awards and recognition in these associations.

# All Jammu & Kashmir Patriotic Peoples Front

All Jammu & Kashmir Patriotic Peoples Front, a state political party in Jammu and Kashmir. The group is a pro-Indian faction, linked to the so-called counter-insurgent or paramilitary forces. Their origins lie in the Muslim Mujahedin group (itself a splinter group from Hizbul Mujahideen). The Muslim Mujahedin group was a former islamist guerrilla group that turned themselves in to the government in 1995 and developed cooperation with the Indian army. During 1997–1998, the forces of the Muslim Mujahedin group were demobilized, and the remaining members reorganized as The Patriotic Peoples Front.
After 1997, the PPF supported Farooq Abdullah's Jammu & Kashmir National Conference government in Kashmir.
In the Lok Sabha elections of 1999, the leader of PPF, Ghulam Nabi Mir, was a candidate in the constituency of Anantnag district. He received 1,500 votes, or 1.46% of the total. Ghulam Nabi Mir was shot to death outside his residence by Hizbul Mujahideen militants on 16 June 2001. He had previously escaped a similar attack in 2000.
The PPF does not currently have any seats in the assembly of Jammu and Kashmir.
# Alligator (novel)

Alligator is a parody of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels. It was written by Christopher Cerf and Michael K. Frith. It was published in 1962 by the Harvard Lampoon. Subsequent editions of the book were squashed by Fleming and his estate.

## Plot

J*ames B*ond takes on Lacertus Alligator, head of the evil organization TOOTH (The Organization Organized to Hate). Alligator's face is the color purple. His plan for world domination includes the kidnapping the Houses of Parliament. And not just the members of Parliament, but also the buildings. Alligator ends up also kidnapping the Queen as well.

## Overview

Apart from Bond's name always appearing in the book as B*ond, other references to recurring characters include Pennyfarthing instead of Miss Moneypenny. Felix Leiter appears as Felix Ronson and Jamaican fisherman Quarrel is named Squabble. Bond's boss, M, is simply known as *. The book also parodies Bond's ordering of drinks. Instead of the usual 'Shaken, not stirred,' B*ond specifies every single thing he orders to eat. When B*ond faces down Alligator at the card table, they play Go Fish.
The cover of Alligator parodies the Signet Books paperback covers used for the Fleming novels in the 1960s. The back cover of the book lists other fictitious B*ond novels, including Lightningrod, Tomorrow We Live, Monsieur Butterfly and Scuba Do-Or-Die.
The book was published in paperback and was such a success that Bennett Cerf, (Christopher Cerf's father) considered bringing out a hardcover edition from Random House. He wrote Fleming for his blessing and Fleming responded saying how much he hated the book. Cerf and Frith were reportedly confused, thinking that the Bond books were supposed to be funny.
The initial run was limited to 100,000 copies because Fleming's American publisher found the book too similar to the real Bond books. Bennett Cerf was interested in publishing a hard cover edition of the book, but changed his mind when he saw Fleming's response. (Random House was just about to publish Fleming's children's book Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.)
A copy of the book was found in the paperwork between President John F. Kennedy and Special Assistant to the President Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
In attempts to re-print the book, or to develop the story into a different form, Cerf and Frith found that Fleming had in his will specifically prohibited them from doing anything involving Bond.
The book has been out-of-print for over 45 years.
