On 4 January 2011, as related in the ''[[New York Times]]'':

−
 
+
−
<blockquote>Adm. John C. Harvey Jr., the commander of the United States Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon that Captain Honors was removed for demonstrating poor judgment.
+
−
“The responsibility of the commanding officer for his or her command is absolute,” Admiral Harvey said in the statement. “ While Captain Honors’ performance as commanding officer of U.S.S. Enterprise has been without incident, his profound lack of good judgment and professionalism while previously serving as executive officer on Enterprise calls into question his character and completely undermines his credibility to continue to serve effectively in command.”<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/05/us/05military.html?_r=1</ref></blockquote>

Admiral Harvey also said in the statement that after viewing the videos, he had lost confidence in Captain Honors’ ability to lead effectively.

Until the advent of PGR, expert network-based research firms did not usually provide advice, analysis or recommendations nor did they typically have a direct role in consultations, except for providing assistance in scheduling and interpretation where there is a language barrier.<ref>Integrity Research Associates. (2009). ''2009 ResearchFocus report on Expert Networks. '' Integrity Research Associates, LLC: Author, p 13.</ref>

===PGR Differentiated Model===
 
−
PGR was one of the first expert-network research firms to offer clients value-added analytical services in addition to expert consultations. This stemmed from the founders’ collective experience and expertise in the their respective industries and led to the development of customized research reports, group meetings and conferences, and specialized network surveys in addition to access to industry experts.
 
−
 
−
This specialization has contributed to PGR’s reputation for exact matching of client requests with expert knowledge and information. PGR added to its in-house expertise by adding staff analysts that brought in-depth knowledge as a specialist in a specific industry sector or sectors and whose background facilitated the development of an extended and global network of experts along with the familiarity to connect clients to exactly the right industry expert.
 
−
 
−
As acknowledged in independent assessments of the company, one of PGR’s key strengths and points of differentiation is its ability to view and understand information as it exists within a complex web of interdependent forces — what PGR refers to as an “ecosystem” — in manufacturing, shipping, product development, geographic demand and supply and production economics.<ref>Integrity Research Associates. (2009). ''2009 ResearchFocus report on Expert Networks. '' Integrity Research Associates, LLC: Author, p 121.</ref>

−
PGR's analysts are well regarded<ref>Integrity Research Associates. (2009). ''2009 ResearchFocus report on Expert Networks.

Going beyond specialized in-house expertise, PGR has been an innovator in how primary data is delivered to clients outside the traditional one-on-one method. The company created and refined a unique digital media portal through which clients and experts initiate and develop research projects as well as access information and insight from experts and analysts working in every industry sector PGR covers.<ref>Integrity Research Associates. (2009). ''2009 ResearchFocus report on Expert Networks.

==Federal Probe of Insider Trading==
 
−
 
−
In late 2010, one of the firm's top sales executives and three of the firm's former 'consultants' were arrested on insider trading charges.<ref>http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=%2Fc%2Fa%2F2010%2F12%2F16%2FBUO21GQG0L.DTL</ref> Primary Global sales manager James Fleishman was arrested on December 16 for "arranging for clients, including hedge funds, to speak with consultants knowing that consultants would provide confidential information, including inside information, to clients."<ref>http://newyork.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel10/nyfo121610.htm</ref>
 
−
 
−
The three 'consultants' worked for technology companies and are alleged to have stolen inside information and peddled it to Fleishman. The three are Mark Longoria, a supply manager with AMD; Manosha Karunatilaka, a now-former account manager with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co; and Walter Shimoon, 39, senior director of business development at electronics manufacturer Flextronics International.

Gonna break down and add computer games articles. Many will hate this. But that is kind of the point. Not that I want to inconvenience anyone, it is just that there is a widespread prejudice (in the sense of judging something before knowing all the facts), and on WP, systemic bias (with the result of comp games articles being really in an atrocious situation), against video games.

They are violent. They stimulate the acquisitive instinct without giving actual content as a reward. But they do not have to be. This is proven by the rare exceptions. Ultimately, I see vid games as the next incarnation of storytelling in the continuum: Play, film, TV, video games. And it is not coincidence that actors in plays were once looked down on society, whereupon they gradually became famed and respected, whereupon film was looked down upon, etc.

'''Hunt-the-pixel''' (also '''pixel hunt''') is a term used to describe some [[computer game]] interfaces involving [[point and click]] with a [[computer mouse|mouse]]. The term is usually applied to [[adventure game]]s in which the primary difficulty with some portion of the game lies in finding an object on the screen. In some cases, the required object is quite small, and may be only a few [[pixel]]s in size. The player may not have any idea what to look for, but often the game cannot progress without finding it. Players often apply the term to any game in which the gameplay is hindered by the frustrating task of determining precisely where on the screen to click. It can be an example of using the deficiencies in the game interface as a challenge, in the same way as treacherous allies and [[Artificial Stupidity]].
+
−
 
+
−
An example of pixel hunting appears from ''[[The X-Files: The Game]]'', where a vital clue is a bullet exactly 2x2 pixels in size. Other examples can be found in ''[[Dark Seed (video game)|Dark Seed]]'', where the player must locate a small bobby pin lying on the floor of a library, or in ''[[Beneath a Steel Sky]]'', where the player must identify and use (without prompting) such tiny items as a 2x2 pixel lump of putty, a thumb-sized metal plate in a poorly lit club, and a barely distinguishable light socket in an abandoned [[rapid transit|metro]] tunnel. Pixel hunting is also crucial in ''[[Future Wars]]'', where items are not only hard to find and required relatively late in respect to their original location but also, to successfully find an item, the player character has to stand close to its location on the screen. [[Dreamweb]] actually incorporates a "magnifying glass" effect with a sighting reticle into its interface to assist the player in locating the many infinitesimal hotspots scattered thickly through its rooms. The problem was endemic in the controversial adventure ''[[Limbo of the Lost]]'', which featured minuscule, crucial objects in deep shadow, sometimes off the edge of the screen or obscured by the game's status bar.
+
−
 
+
−
Missed objects will not always lead to an [[unwinnable]] situation, but sometimes will offer just better alternative approaches to future puzzles, being thus something like [[Easter egg (virtual)|Easter eggs]].
+
−
 
+
−
Some games made by [[Sierra Entertainment|Sierra On-Line]], including [[Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers]] and portions of the ''[[Space Quest]]'' and ''[[King's Quest]]'' series, featured interfaces that at times required a hunt-the-pixel approach. One situation in [[LucasArts]]'s ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure]]'', which required the player to locate a particular book among several screens full of book stacks. However, LucasArts games have the advantage of a status line indicating the object the cursor is currently over. Another remedy was to make essential objects flash, or some other method to make the element more visible against the benign background, as is done for example at the beginning of ''[[King's Quest VI]]'' with Alexander's twinkling insignia ring on the beach. In LucasArt's ''[[Sam and Max Hit the Road]]'' the cursor will have a red border when above a clickable location. The ''[[Simon the Sorcerer]]'' series avoided pixel hunting all together, by allowing the player to press F10 at any time to highlight all the hotspots on the current screen.
+
−
 
+
−
Pixel-hunting is extremely common in games of the [[escape the room]] genre. Players must not only find and click on very small items, but sometimes must also find very small arbitrary, and invisible [[Screen hotspot|hotspots]] in order to trigger a change in point of view. Many authors of on-line Flash [[point-and-click adventure game]]s have disabled the [[tab key]] to prevent players from easily cycling through all the hotspots.
+
−
 
+
−
The rendering done for objects added to the environment and the environment itself are almost always different, and this makes it easier to find such objects. In particular, panning the player view camera makes such objects pixilate rapidly. This is an effect noticable in MMORPGs and FPS games also.

== Relisted AfDs ==
 
−
A good percentage of the AfDs today are relisted ones. I can read two things into this: one, it would seem to be a good thing. Fewer AfDs, perhaps, are being nominated, so there are fewer vultures to hover over things. Or maybe no one is left who bothers with topics they don't have an agenda for. Either way, should end up with fewer deletions. Two, maybe they wacked all the good articles already, and I missed it.

I used to be able to see some kind of thread of a rationale in deletor's arguments. Is it that I am so good at ignoring BS now that it does not affect me any more, or are they just getting stupider? It's not me getting stupider, that's for sure, I can see their motivation, in this case anti-science, specifically anti-psychology and anti-philosophy. I think they are actually stupider, as SYNTH used to be given some reason, or at least it was applied to sources or a specific argument. Now they are just saying synth without any target at all. Even one of the Keep arguments is bogus, as it recommends merging an article about death -anxiety- to one about death -fear-. A list of expert theories in the field is ripped for being "an editor's selection and summary of various theories with no RS to tell us why these are "worth mentioning" or how they relate to one another (or to anything else, for that matter" The title itself says how they related to each other, for god's sake. I just don't see how these people can write in English, if they cannot read it.

[[Sigmund Freud]] (1856–1939) postulated that people express a fear of death, which he called ‘thanatophobia’. However, this was merely a disguise for a deeper source of concern. It was not actually death that people feared, because nobody believes in his or her own death. The unconscious does not deal with the passage of time or with negations. That one's life could and would end simply “does not compute”. Furthermore, that which one does fear cannot be death itself, because one has never died. People who express death-related fears, then, are actually trying to deal with unresolved childhood conflicts that they cannot bring themselves to acknowledge and discuss openly <ref> Freud, S. (1953). "Thoughts for the time of war and death," In: Standard Edition of The Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, Vol 4. Translated and Edited by Strachey J. London, Hogarth </ref>.

[[Ernest Becker]]'s existential view turned death anxiety theory towards a new dimension. It stated that death anxiety is not only real, but also that it is people's most profound source of concern. He described this anxiety as so intense that it can generate fears and phobias in everyday life. Fears of being alone or in a confined space are some examples of its impact. According to this theory, much of people's daily behavior consists of attempts to deny death and thereby keep their basic anxiety under control <ref>Becker, E. (1973) The Denial of Death.

==Martin Heidegger’s work==

−
[[Martin Heidegger]], the German philosopher, on the one hand showed death as something conclusively determined, in the sense that it is inevitable for every human being, while on the other hand, it unmasks its indeterminate nature via the truth that one never knows when or how death is going to come. Heidegger does not engage in speculation about whether being after death is possible. He argues that all human existence is embedded in time: past, present, future, and when considering the future, we encounter the notion of death. This then creates Angst. Angst can create a clear understanding in one that death is a possible mode of existence, which Heidegger described as “clearing”. Thus, Angst can lead to a freedom about existence, but only if we can stop denying our mortality (as expressed in Heidegger’s terminology as “stop denying being-for-death”). This, in turn creates space for authenticity, where death becomes an enriching, liberating, rather than frightening, aspect of human experience. Unfortunately, Heidegger, as a philosopher, did not make any suggestions as to how to arrive at this state of awareness <ref> Heidegger, M., (1962) Being and Time, trans.

Through the works of '''Meaning Management Theory''' <ref>, Wong, P. T. P. (2000) Meaning in life and meaning in death in successful aging. In A. Tomer (Ed.), Death attitudes and the older adults: Theories, concepts and applications (pp. 23-35). Philadelphia, PA: Bruner-Routledge</ref> [[Paul T. P. Wong]] showed human reactions to death as complex, multifaceted and dynamic. His “Death Attitude Profile” identifies three types of death acceptances as Neutral, Approach and Escape acceptances. Apart from acceptances, his work also represents different aspects of the meaning of Death Fear that are rooted in the bases of death anxiety. The ten meanings he propose are finality, uncertainty, annihilation, ultimate loss, life flow disruption, leaving the loved ones, pain and loneliness, prematurity and violence of death, failure of life work completion, and judgment and retribution centered. Most importantly, his Meaning Management Theory itself proposes that 1) Humans are bio-psychosocial-spiritual beings, 2) Human beings are meaning-seeking and meaning making creatures, 3) Two primary motivations for human beings are to survive and to find meaning and reason for survival, 4) Meaning can be found in all situations, and 5) The motivational tendencies of avoidance and approach may complement each other. This theory has a good potential to be utilized in working with people struggling with end-of-life issues.

[[Mohammad Samir Hossain]], a researcher of death attitude <ref>http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a923472682~db=all~jumptype=rss</ref>, postulated '''Death and Adjustment Hypotheses''' <ref>Mohammad Samir Hossain, MBBS, Ph.D.Introducing Death and Adjustment Hypotheses.''

In 2007, Mohammad Samir Hossain’s book Quest for a New Death: Death and Adjustment Hypotheses, postulated, in two parts, that adjustment to death is hampered by our preconceived misconceptions about the phenomenon of death. The prevailing perception, in fact our predominant one, is that our entire existence absolutely ends with death. According to Hossain’s theory of adjustment, it should be converted to something like ‘death does not cause an absolute end to existence’. If our conceptualization is changed in this way, it might enhance our adjustment to death. But, as per the second part of this theory, this can only be established when our morality attains a certain level, because decay or deterioration in relation to the concept of death, is very much connected to our code of ethics and beliefs <ref>http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0078883601/680442/Additional_Lifespan_Development_Topics.pdf</ref><ref>Mohammad Samir Hossain and Peter Gilbert. 2010.Concepts of Death: A key to our adjustment.

Other approaches to death anxiety were introduced in the late twentieth century. [[Terror management theory]] is based on a study finding that people who felt better about themselves also reported having less death-related anxiety <ref> Solomon, S., Greenberg, J. and Pyszczynski, T. (1991). In M.P. Zanna (Ed.). ed.. Advances in experimental social psychology. 24. Academic Press. pp. 93–159. </ref>. Another approach named “regret theory” was proposed in 1996 by Adrian Tomer and Grafton Eliason. It approaches the way in which people evaluate the quality or worth of their lives. The prospect of death is likely to make people more anxious if they feel that they have not accomplished, and cannot accomplish, something good in life.

Systemic bias against Ahmadiyya in Pakistan

Formerly, "Pakistan and the apartheid analogy" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Pakistan_and_the_apartheid_analogy

The State of Pakistan's treatment of the Ahmadiyya Muslims has been compared by critics of Pakistan's policy to South Africa's treatment of non-whites during its apartheid era. , Pakistani constitution (in second amendment) officially declares Ahmadis as non-Muslims which in a Muslim majority country with preferential treatment for Muslims amounts to declaring Ahmadis as untouchables.

Ordinance XX as example of apartheid

The Ordinance XX categorically puts limitations on Ahmadi Muslims' rights and leaves their rights on the pleasure of majority.

ORDINANCE NO. XX OF 1984 PART II - AMENDMENT OF THE PAKISTAN PENAL CODE (ACT XLV OF 1860) (3) 298C... Any person of the Quadiani group or the Lahori group (who call themselves ‘Ahmadis’ or by any other name), who … invites others to accept his faith, by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations, or in any manner whatsoever outrages the religious feelings of Muslims, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.

This is both slavery and mob rule rolled into one law.

Political rights, voting and representation, judiciary

Ahmadi Muslims are required to declare themselves as non-Muslims against their beliefs which effectively bars Ahmadi Muslims form registering for vote and to stand in elections.[1] ..nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Judiciary has also bowed to the religious fanatics as is evident in a number of case decisions in recent years.[2]

Passports, National identification cards and Religious Profiling

Ahmadis are heavily profiled and every Pakistani has to curse Ahmadiyya beliefs when applying for Pakistani passport, Pakistani National ID cards and applying for jobs etc.

From official Pakistan passport application;

I …… hereby solemnly declare that:- (i) I am a Muslim and believe in the absolute and unqualified finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) - the last of the Prophets.

(ii) I do not recognize any person who claims to be a prophet in any sense of the word or of any description whatsoever after Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) or recognize such a claimant as a prophet or a religious reformer as a Muslim.

(iii) I consider Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Quadiani to be an impostor nabi and also consider his followers whether belonging to the Lahori or Qadiani group to be Non-Muslim.[3]

Media

In 2008, the Asian Human Rights Commission protested that the government of Pakistan had taken no action against a TV journalist who had made "stoked religious hatred" of the Ahmadi community.[4]

Ahmadiyya Muslims are not invited to present their views on the media , thus allowing only anti-Ahmadiyya prejudice to be spread in the Pakistan society.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Owen_Honors No Consensus defaults to Keep Could be called the cheater's way to Keep. I never feel entirely happy about a No Consensus close, even if I wanted the article. It usually turns into the cheater's way to delete, tho, by way of redirect or merge or deletion of undesirable info.


Wikipedia:DEL and Policy content such as WP:IDL that directly address the conduct of discussion should be the only standard. DEL#Reason does not limit itself to its own provisions because policy does not automatically inform editors, should an exception come up. Essays such as Fancruft are not an exception, or they would have been listed; they are based on subjective assessments. Objective reasoning, not interpretations, is the way to make arguments in AfD. That is the reasoning behind IDONTLIKE (a discussion conduct rule); editor's subjective impressions of things are not good policy. Everything outside of DEL, that does not obviously present itself as being a problem necessitating additions to DEL, is Policycruft. Fancruft is particularly insidious because it allows what would be a strength in other articles, depth of information, to be used against articles on games, films, TV series and music. It is just systemic bias turned into an essay. Political articles are deleted without as much regard to rules, based solely on the political biases of the closer and 'voters'.

Justin Capră (born 22 February 1933) (Iustin) is a Romanian inventor. He was born in Măgureni, Prahova, Romania.

He invented and built small vehicles that consumed very little fuel. Before that, he invented an individual jet device, which allows a person to fly by jet.

His invention has never been patented or applied.

Without support from the Romanian government or private companies, he built his tiny vehicles mostly on his own. Capra's most famous car was the Soleta 150 Ecor; it had a total weight of 95 kg and was capable of covering 100 km on 0.5 liters of fuel.Template:Citation needed He also produced another model, the Soleta I.C.200, which could reach 67 km/h. None of his cars have been produced commercially.

Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Southern_cherokee_nation_of_kentucky

The Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky are descended from "half blood" or "mixed-blood" Cherokee, a group of passionate Cherokee who signed the Treaty of New Echota with the US Government in 1835, which signed away much of the sovereign Cherokee territory in the southern Appalachian Mountains in exchange for lands in northeastern Oklahoma. The primary signatories of the treaty were subsequently assassinated by Pin Cherokee also known formally as the Original Keetoowah Society. A secret organization formed by a Christian missionary, and controlled by John Ross Principle Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Confederate Brigadier General Albert Pike wrote in 1861 that the Pin organization “was established by Evan Jones, a missionary, and at the service of Mr. John Ross, for the purpose of abolitionizing the Cherokees and putting out of the way all who sympathized with the Southern States.” [1][2]

History

The Southern Cherokee of Kentucky have gone by many names: They were originally known as the Overhill Cherokee, Chickamauga Cherokee, the Treaty Party, and during the American Civil War they became known as Southern Cherokee, and finally the Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky. The Treaty of New Echota was rejected by most of the Cherokee Nation, but the US Government enforced the Indian Removal Act of 1830 in what came to be known as the "Trail of Tears". An estimated 4'000 of 15'000 died during this enforced removal to Indian Territory. Most of those who had accepted the Treaty fought on the side of the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. Ironically, at the end of the war many of the "Southern Cherokee" intermarried with "Freedmen", former Afro-American slaves that were also removed on the Trail of Tears. Subsequent warring between the Pin Cherokee and the "Southern Cherokee", and the death of Confederate Brigadier General Stand Watie in 1871, resulted in the fleeing of Southern Cherokee refugees across several States which included Kentucky.

The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, (CNO), are recognized as the official Cherokee Nation, while those of the Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky, Southern Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and the Sovereign SOUTHERN CHEROKEE Government are not Federally recognized. However, The treaty of 1866 was made with the Southern Cherokee to ensure they were protected from the Pin Cherokee. This treaty also guarantees all Southern Cherokee a separate government and jurisdiction.

Status

The Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky is a state recognized tribe now headquartered in Henderson, Kentucky, which is situated on the high banks of the Ohio River in an area once known as Red Banks by Native Americans. The Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky was recognized by past Governor John Y. Brown (1835–1904) on "Executive Letter Head" on December 26, 1893, and then by Governor Ernie Fletcher, via proclamation, on November 20, 2006. The city of Henderson, Kentucky also issued a proclamation recognizing the Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky on February 24, 2009. The Cherokee Nation of Kentucky is officially recognized in the Commonwealth of Kentucky by the Executive Branch of their host government. [3][4][5][6]

"Since 9/11 we’ve all grown accustomed to security procedures that, 11 years ago, most of us would have considered unreasonable intrusions on our liberty and privacy, all in the name of safety. That, I think, is the real measure of what terrorism does to a free society. It’s not the bombs or the airplanes that hurt us most, but the gradual intrusions into personal freedom that are implemented in response to those threats. Little by little, the freedom of movement we once knew is being chipped away and, in the event that we ever again face a mass terrorist attack with catastrophic loss, the stage will have been set for a ramp up in “security procedures” that will make America an unrecognizable shell of its former self." - Wikipedia:User:DamionMC72 .

Lifeboat Foundation

File:Guarded.title.jpg
GETAS threat level

The Lifeboat Foundation is a non-profit organization aiming to reduce existential risks to ensure the survival of human civilization. It focuses on both natural and man-made threats by initiating a variety of programs and undertakings on its website. The foundation seeks to inform the public of the dangers of increasingly powerful technologies, including genetic and nanoengineering.[1] The misuse of such technologies by only a few individuals, it argues, could produce devastating results. It maintains a system—called GETAS—for alerting the public about changes in existential threat levels. It also has in its mission to encourage scientific and technological advancement. In the long run, the Lifeboat Foundation is promoting the establishment of self-sufficient space colonies to help preserve human society.

The foundation was created by American entrepreneur Eric Klien shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11. It has several Programs and its Advisory Boards include over 1000 scientists and specialists. Lifeboat Foundation sponsors conferences, competitions, and research grants. It is funded entirely through membership dues (as of 19 November 2010: 1 232) and donations (as of 19 November 2010: 249) by individuals and corporations.[2]

Mission

In its mission statement on the lifeboat website, the organization states it is "dedicated to encouraging scientific advancements while helping humanity survive existential risks and possible misuse of increasingly powerful technologies, including genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics/AI, as we move towards the Singularity." As part of its mission statement, the website indicates it is "pursuing a variety of options, including helping to accelerate the development of technologies to defend humanity, including new methods to combat viruses (such as RNA interference and new vaccine methods), effective nanotechnological defensive strategies, and even self-sustaining space colonies in case the other defensive strategies fail."[1]

History

Origins

Template:Refimprove Founder Eric Klien's interest in Libertarian principles led him in 1993 to start the Atlantis Project: "to build a floating city in the Caribbean Sea that would be free of the bureaucratic limitations of modern governments". The city was to be called Oceania.[3] The project was eventually abandoned due to lack of funding.[4]

The September 11th attacks led Klien to found a humanitarian organization "bent on the preservation of human life, against all odds".[5] The Lifeboat Foundation was established as a permanent nonprofit organization in October, 2002. Several of those who previously worked on The Atlantis Project joined the new foundation. The Lifeboat Foundation has steadily grown in its membership, financial position, and public exposure since its inception.

Guardian Award

The Guardian Award is presented annually by the Lifeboat foundation to "a respected scientist or public figure who has warned of a future fraught with dangers and encouraged measures to prevent them".[6] The following persons have received a Guardian award:

Conferences

The Lifeboat Foundation has co-hosted and sponsored conferences related to its mission. It cosponsored the Global Catastrophic Risks summit in Mountain View, CA.,[13] and the June 2010 H+ Summit.[14] The foundation was also media sponsor for the 2009 Singularity Summit in New York City[15]

Structure

The Lifeboat Foundation is structured with advisory boards, a board of directors, and a general staff. The board of directors includes founder Eric Klien as chairman, and four other directors; the advisory boards comprise a diversity of societal and scientific specialists; and the staff had 21 employees on November 12, 2010.[16][17] The foundation also has a technology research department that is charged with tracking new technological developments. The Lifeboat Foundation intends to operate as an umbrella organization; in case of growth, it plans on funding larger research grants and prizes rather than hiring more employees.[18]

Advisory Boards

The organization has formed advisory boards consisting of over 1000 specialists in various disciplines. Board members develop programs, or propose new areas in which the Lifeboat Foundation should be involved.[19]

There are also over a dozen Scientific Advisory Boards (SABs). The SABs are specifically focused on scientific questions, such as cosmology and neuroscience. Some of the SABs are dedicated to more technical fields like economics and information science. They comprise scientists from around the world, including Nobel Prize winners Clive Granger and Wole Soyinka.[19]

Finances

The Lifeboat Foundation is funded by donations and membership fees. Donations can go to either the general fund or a specific fund. The general fund is called the Lifeboat Fund and its website states a value of US$ 466,394.62 on October 29, 2010.[2]

Activities

GETAS

The Global Existential Threat Advisory System (GETAS) is the mechanism the Lifeboat Foundation uses to disseminate information about current existential threats. GETAS consists of five threat levels plus an emergency condition. The levels are designed to be cumulative; that is, the recommended precautions of each level build on those of lower levels. The current GETAS condition is displayed on the Lifeboat Foundation's website, and visitors can subscribe to receive email notifications if the level changes.

The goal of the warnings is to "to create a common vocabulary, context, and structure for an ongoing international, global discussion about the nature of the threats that confront our species on planet Earth and the appropriate measures that should be taken in response."[20] The system uses the internet to communicate rapidly to subscribers.

GETAS levels are set by "the Executive Director of the Lifeboat Foundation in consultation with the Scientific Advisory Boards".[20] The levels (and the explanations given by the Lifeboat foundation website) are as follows:

File:low.condition.jpg "The low threat condition calls for only the most basic of protective measures. Since the creation of GETAS, the Lifeboat Foundation has not yet issued a low threat condition. Typical measures under a low threat condition include training Lifeboat personnel in GETAS procedures and maintaining Lifeboat facilities in a disaster-ready condition."[20]
File:guarded.condition.jpg "The guarded condition is declared when there is a general underlying risk of existential catastrophe. Under a guarded condition, the foundation will post any information that would aid in responding to potential disasters. Recommendations during a guarded threat level are similar to the common-sense recommendations provided by government agencies."[20]
File:elevated.condition.jpg "An elevated threat condition is issued when significant events point to a heightened state of risk. Since the beginning of GETAS, Lifeboat has raised the threat level to elevated only twice. For example, when North Korea detonated a nuclear device in 2006, it raised global political tension and prompted the Lifeboat Foundation to declare an elevated threat condition."[20]
File:high.condition.jpg "The high threat level would require significant coordination between organizations at the local, national, and supranational level to address risks." (never declared) [20]
File:severe.condition.jpg "The severe condition reflects an extreme global risk—the justification for this threat level should be a very clear event somewhere in the world. This level is not intended to remain in effect for a substantial amount of time. The Lifeboat Foundation would be primarily focused on coordinating emergency response efforts, closing public facilities and transportation systems, and preparing evacuations."[20] (never declared)
File:emergency.condition.jpg "An emergency condition indicates the occurrence of an existential catastrophe. At this point, the priority of the foundation would be to preserve human civilization. Lifeboat Foundation bunkers would be switched to autonomous power and hermetically sealed off from the outside world. Space evacuees would be launched to their designated space arks." (not yet declared)[20]

Programs

The Lifeboat Foundation's website states programs to help assess and reduce existential risks. "Shield" programs are attempts to explicitly identify and mitigate threats posed by misuse of a particular technology. Examples include:

  • AsteroidShield, aiming at detecting and altering the trajectory of asteroids and comets on a collision course with Earth, thus avoiding impact events.[21]
  • BioShield, aiming at preventing and countering the effects of attacks with biological agents.[22]
  • Space Habitats, designing and encouraging the technology for human colonies in space. The organization's website mentions design on a habitat called Ark 1, a "self-sustaining space habitat being designed to ensure the survival of humanity in the event Earth becomes uninhabitable".[23]
