Preamble Note for the Undertaking of ‘Quarticentennial Merited Impacts Gazette©’
We live in a time and age where everything is watched, witnessed and marked for it’s all 360 ins and outs. Every now and then is beheld for its varying but all-inclusive whys and wherefores. Any situation or state of affairs in its due course, ultimately comes up fromall of the all 360 angles, amidst the manifold surrounds of the era’s dynamics. Hence, the diversity of, as well as the variability in, approaches and perspectives extends in identical and equal ranges likewise. All of these ‘ins and outs’ along with the ‘whys and wherefores’ encompass certain cohesive impacts holding a fairly integrated nature – the value of which directly corresponds to the ultimate code of merit in somewhat an inter-fringed, intermingled and interpenetrative way.
Impact has a definition, a description and a characterizable demarcation. Simply viewed, it is – a distinct effect, an influence or an imprint of something that another thing, object or situation accepts, bears, obtains or holds—hence the impression and expression that the word ‘impact’ carries so far, has reasonably many other connotations and denotations.
Media, for its “sponsored glamorization technologies” use to exploit the marginal meanings of ‘impact’ to serve their purposes. Lexicographers demonstrate different meanings in which the word ‘Impact’ can convey, deliver and reflect. The synonymy of effect, influence or consequence-magnitude does not necessarily mean that these words have the same meaning that can easily be isolated from the counterparts of other descriptions.
Rationale for the Demarcation
Bombarded by the media-propelled misleading information, and ‘over-glamorization’ of their pre-envisaged and tailor-made ‘false-flags’, the innocent audience is essentially trapped and captivated in a sequence of indistinct slipups. These mind-captivations cause a perpetual distortion. The algorithmically controlled perpetual mechanism of these distortions is made-up by the ‘fabricated impacts’ responsible for bringing up the ‘cosmetic changes’. All this undoubtedly, seems to touch the firmaments and skies, but still we’ve to keep our eyes vigilant as well as remain opened for the ‘meritoriousness of the impacts’. Amidst these media generated perpetual distortions, an attempt has been made hereby, to confront and combat the fabricated glamorizations in order to realize the reality. A breakdown enquiry summation titled ‘Quarticentennial Impacts Gazette©’ has been accumulated to hallmark the real impacts. Instead of showcasing the propaganda-blown balloons the gazette is destined to define, delineate and determine the real impact merit and endeavoring to chronicle it on the stringent criterions.
Here is the impact of the “Person/ Object of the Merit” all-about:
In the very perspective and premised sense of what concerns here in lieu of the task on hands – i.e. chronicling the real impacts in the first quarticentennial span of the 21st century– the ‘merited impact value’ can be characterized and elegantly put as:
“The value of an intact reflection of someone, something, some concept or some happening that happened to be responsible for leaving a long term impression through a categorical mirror that determines the scale, volume and extent of that impression with the corresponding effect, it has had during the multifarious course of 21st century’s as well as the new millennium’s rising twenty five years. This is the 21st century’s first merit retrospect of occurrences, happenings, people, thoughts, concepts, concerns, feelings, intents, trends, disciplines, cultures, successes and the failures thereupon.”
‘Impact Hallmarks’© is a global cyber disposition of the findings’ crux of ‘Quarticentennial Merit Impacts Gazette©. It is stringently merit-bound to hallmark the ‘real merit impacts’, and therefore, is resolutely intended to bring forth such a determined and resolute mirror of how the quarticentennial round-up of 2000 to 2025 symbolizes the merited impacts that are responsible for redefining the ‘means and measure of merit’ through different walks of life.
Since we’re prompting the terminal hours of 01/31/2026, the ‘Impact Hallmarks’[IH]©, in the said context, invites hereby and encourages the readers to convey the impression they carry about the finalists with reference to their merited impacts through the last 25 years of the 21st century.
With the core-ethos and the crest-resolute emblems of IH©, “meriting the impact merit©” and “valuing the impact value©”, the IH team has tried to shortlist an assortment of people, objects, concepts, resolutions, movements, events, concerns and endeavors based on the selected themes and categories. The measures employed for shortlisting were bound to the stringent and inflexible criteria of the ‘merited impact reference’ of the entity, object, concept or endeavor under consideration.
Summing up of twenty-five years’ transforms and metamorphosis, with best possible competency, methodical rectitude and unbending intellectual honesty was never ever an easy task. Nor it turned to be that soft a target as apparently it seemed to be. Broad-based screening, careful analysis, vigilant assessment and due appreciation of millions of people and thousands of events remained and uphill task for a small number of reviewers, especially in the multiple scenarios under consideration. A selection team of 132 nonaligned neutral assessors and nonpartisan researchers laid and retained the criterions of shortlisting, based on cross-boundary integrated themes in different categories.
The finalists are the qualified contenders from well over 195 countries across the continents of the globe. The shortlisted nominees for the title ‘Person of Quarticentennial Merit’ are selected from over 1.9 million individuals featured and profiled in internationally recognized substantial records including the authenticated reference indexes, institutional directories, the satellite imageries outpost records, web almanacs, Who ’s Who registries from the US, Canada, UK, biographical annals, AI platforms, global news reportages and fact-based cyber archives.
Based upon the IH© criterions, coupled with the public choice made through the opinion poll, the final titles of the twenty-five years reflecting and symbolizing the “quarticentennial merited impactfullness” are scheduled to be aired on 02/25/2026.
Virtuous research by the team of Impact Hallmarks[IH]© revealed a tenet-code that— the people who are impactful to the extents of decades, actually carve out the “meritorious avenues of impactfullness“. They are, in fact, the true patrons of change – the real markers to symbolize the paradigm shifts in the era!
With our core-ethos and the crest-resolute emblems, “meriting the impact merit©” and “valuing the impact value©”, let’s move to choose our titles of the first quarticentennial round of the 21st century.
