Benjamin Macé
Benjamin Macé (born 16 May 1989 in Bordeaux), also known as "Benj", is a French speed skater and short track speed skater. He competed in short track speed skating at the 2010 Winter Olympics and speed skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics. His fascination with speed skating started serendipitously, while on a roller-skate outing with his brother and father, at a young age of six at the Gujan-Mestras Club. The three of them were amazed with the sight of "in-line skate" and then Mace joined Roller Skating Dijon Bourgogne Club. This acquainted him with the ice short track rink along with the short trackers, who used to join them during the latter summer trainings. The simple fun created by ice hockey games organized by the short trackers during Wednesday night, built good feeling with the newfound team and influenced him to join the ice trainings. The newfound adrenaline rush in speed skating immediately pushed aside the roller skating thrills. In 2006 the epiphany of his Olympic d ...

Tribal King
A tribal chief or chieftain is the leader of a tribal society or chiefdom. Tribe The concept of tribe is a broadly applied concept, based on tribal concepts of societies of western Afroeurasia. Tribal societies are sometimes categorized as an intermediate stage between the band society of the Paleolithic stage and civilization with centralized, super-regional government based in cities. Anthropologist Elman Service distinguishes two stages of tribal societies: simple societies organized by limited instances of social rank and prestige, and more stratified societies led by chieftains or tribal kings (chiefdoms). Stratified tribal societies led by tribal kings are thought to have flourished from the Neolithic stage into the Iron Age, albeit in competition with urban civilisations and empires beginning in the Bronze Age. In the case of tribal societies of indigenous peoples existing within larger colonial and post-colonial states, tribal chiefs may represent their tribe or eth ...
