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'.

The International Network of Alternative Financial Institutions ([[INAFI]]) is an umbrella organization of [[microfinance]] operations spanning 38 countries across 3 continents: Asia, Africa and Latin America.  With a mandate to meet the [[Millennium Development Goals]] (MDGs), INAFI seeks to alleviate poverty, provide access to health care and education, as well as promote gender equality through its 118 member organizations.

==History==
 +
In 624 AD (one of the earliest known appearances of this term), during a military campaign of extermination and looting taking place within the [[Battle of Badr]], a commander's orders informed ''jash'' units that taking cattle, sheep, goats, money, weapons and even Kurdish women was legal.<ref name="knowledge">Jonathan C.

In the latter half of the 20th century, Kurds who became collaborators with the [[Iraq|Iraqi]] government have been referred to as ''jash''.<ref name="Mackey2003"/> The number of jash increased to "as many as 150,000 by 1986" as a method of avoiding military participation in the [[Iran–Iraq War]]. These jash then realigned with the rest of the Kurdish people during the 1991 Kurdish uprising. It has been stated by a number of Kurds that "the jash had been completely forgiven".<ref>{{cite book |title=A thousand sighs, a thousand revolts: journeys in Kurdistan |last=Bird |first=Christiane |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=2004 |publisher=Random House, Inc |location= |isbn= |page=81 |pages= |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=DYwFG3e9KIcC&pg=PA81&dq=%22Jash%22&hl=en&ei=_xpHTfjoIoOClAeH38lI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q=%22Jash%22&f=false |accessdate=January 31, 2011}}</ref>

'''Primary Global Research, LLC (PGR)''' is an award-winning, independent investment research firm that  provides [[buy side|buy-side]] financial institutions with primary market intelligence generated through a global network of industry experts. PGR is an innovator in the delivery of primary information with varied options for clients including carefully matched, direct consultations with experts; data with additive insight and analysis generated by PGR’s in-house analyst staff and interactive access to its entire information universe via a proprietary digital information portal.
+
−
 
+
−
Founded as a technology industry specialist in 2003, PGR has grown and maintained its award winning technology coverage and expanded its business coverage to include eight key industry sectors: technology, alternative energy/cleantech, healthcare, financial services, real estate, energy, industrials and commodities, retail and media and Internet. The firm is headquartered in [[Mountain View, California]] with satellite offices in New York City, San Francisco, Taipei and the Philippines.
+

+

==Corporate Overview==
+
−
===Primary Research===
+
−
Unlike financial analysis in which a sell-side firm or independent sell-side analyst favorably or unfavorably compares a company's operating and stock valuation to a financial and/or industry peer group based on structured filings with the SEC and informational meetings with senior management at the company and its suppliers and customers, primary or fundamental company or industry research is focused strictly on the development of data that illustrate the competitive advantages of a company, a market and/or a technology.<ref>Wayman, Rick. [http://www.investopedia.com/articles/analyst/052102.asp "Testing 3 Types Of Analyst."]</ref>
+
−
 
+
−
Expert networks are primarily utilized by [[hedge fund]]s, long-only investors([[mutual fund]]s and [[pension fund]]s), private equity investors and corporate clients. Expert network research services were originally used by corporations and consulting firms that looked for advice from industry experts to gauge their competitive environment, time product launches, or assess potential pricing and revenue that could be achieved.<ref>Integrity Research Associates. (2009). ''2009 ResearchFocus report on Expert Networks. '' Integrity Research Associates, LLC: Author, p 16.</ref> Research conducted by expert networks involves a transfer of knowledge from an expert to a client. The three components of the network are: 1)the client/investor, 2) the intermediary(expert network), and 3) individual experts.
+
−
 
+
−
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. '' Integrity Research Associates, LLC: Author, p 121.</ref> and frequently contribute insight and commentary in leading business and financial news publications<ref>[http://online.wsj.com/article/107204574471551830745172.html "Intel Bolsters Hopes for PC Rebound."] online.wsj.com.

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. '' Integrity Research Associates, LLC: Author, p 121.</ref> This access includes current and historical primary information on companies, markets, geographies and entire industries and makes it possible for clients to conduct in-depth primary research from their desktop in real time.
+
−
 
+
−
===Trading Desk===
+
−
Another differentiating element in PGR's business model is the creation of a trading desk operation, PGR Securities LLC, member [[Securities Investor Protection Corporation|SIPC]] and [[Financial Industry Regulatory Authority|FINRA]]. The trading operation is a client service for those that prefer to work on the basis of direct trades for services.<ref>Integrity Research Associates. (2009). ''2009 ResearchFocus report on Expert Networks. '' Integrity Research Associates, LLC: Author, p 121.</ref> Clients can trade via the agency-only model, under which PGR does not take a position and that allows investors to trade without competing with their internal trading desk.<ref>www.pg-research.com/securities.php. Retrieved 2010-02-24.</ref>
+
−
 
+
−

===Push Technology===
+
−
PGR provides its clients with a push-based research model that delivers written notes and updates i.e., information on new developments and outcomes as they occur, from experts from all sectors and geographies in the PGR network.
+
−
 
+
−
The information is collected, verified, organized and issued to clients based on their individual interests via e-mail, the network portal or a phone call from an in-house analyst.
+
−
 
+
−
According to a comprehensive independent study conducted on expert networks, PGR's 'push' research model is a unique service among expert networks.<ref>Integrity Research Associates. (2009). ''2009 ResearchFocus report on Expert Networks. '' Integrity Research Associates, LLC: Author, p 122.</ref> The push model allowed clients to gain additional value from PGR's network, even when they were not engaged in direct consultations.<ref>Integrity Research Associates. (2009). ''2009 ResearchFocus report on Expert Networks. '' Integrity Research Associates, LLC: Author, p 122.</ref>
+
−
 
+
−
====Network Portal====
+
−
PGR offers institutional investors access to a real-time stream of new information and thousands of industry experts through an online network portal.<ref>http://www.pg-research.com</ref> Clients can access the network portal to find new information and industry consultants, view detailed biographical information on PGR's experts, and set up calls or face-to-face meetings with an expert. PGR's "Network Views," written summaries of reports initiated by the firm's in-house analysts, can be viewed on the portal. The portal allows clients to view the biographies of GATE experts and view the individual responses of the experts that are questioned on a "Network View" topic.
+
−
 
+

[http://www.wallstreetletter.com/Home/ArticleLogin/2444755/Expert_Network_Providing_Nearly_Instant_Access.aspx Expert Network Providing Nearly Instant Access]</ref>
+
−

−
PGR developed and implemented ExpertPulse in 2009 and continues to improve the technology to improve its responsiveness and relevancy to client interests, uses, and the dissemination of expert and PGR analyst information.
+

+
−

==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.

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.” <ref>''THE CIVIL WAR IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY 1861'',Volume 17, No. 3, p. 325 September, 1939 Dean Trickett, Chronicals of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Historical Society</ref><ref>''The Keetoowah Society and the Avocation of Religious Nationalism in the Cherokee Nation, 1855-1867'', ''Between Two Fires'', Chapter Three, U.S. Data Repository</ref>

==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.

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. <ref name="Historical Documents">[http://www.southerncherokeenationky.com/historicaldocuments.html Photos taken of display cases located at "The Depot" in downtown Henderson,  Kentucky] southerncherokeenationky.com</ref><ref>''Indian Child Welfare Act Compliance Desk Aid For Kentucky Child Welfare Workers'', Facts: Two State Recognized Tribes, Cabinet for Health and Family Services</ref><ref>''500 Nations''[http://500nations.com/tribes/Tribes_States.asp "State Recognized tribes"]</ref><ref>USA.GOV [http://www.usa.gov/Government/Tribal_Sites/index.shtml "Tribal Governments"]</ref>

"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]] .

===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."<ref name=GETAS/>  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".<ref name=GETAS>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/getas|title=Global Existential Threat Advisory System (GETAS)|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=2010-11-06}}</ref>  The levels (and the explanations given by the Lifeboat foundation website) are as follows:

'''Grand External Propaganda Strategy''', (Chinese:宏大的對外宣傳格局), short for （大外宣), is a Chinese government propaganda project with a budget worth RMB 45 billion Yuan(450亿元人民币), initiated in early 2009 by [[Hu Jintao]]. The aim of the project is  "To take the first initiative, to have the first say, to be on the active side, to direct and lead public opinion, to improve the ability to propagate message internationally. (Chinese:“抢占先机，赢得话语权，掌握主动权，抓住提高舆论引导能力和国际传播能力”)
  
 +
Both [[Li Changchun]] and [[Liu Yunshan]] have stressed in different occasions that the Chinese propaganda should be equally spread both domestically and internationally, and[[Li Changchun]] stated that:"Confucius Institute is...an important part of China’s overseas propaganda set-up"(Chinese:宏大的對外宣傳格局)<ref>http://www.stnn.cc/china/200904/t20090427_1018499.html 新华社央视正招兵买马 中国大外宣提升软实力|星岛环球网 www.stnn.cc2009-04-27</ref><ref>http://www.chinainperspective.org/ArtShow.aspx?AID=3822

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.
+
On 24/4/2009, [[Li Changchun]] made announcement that the setting up of [[Confucius Institute]] around the world is an important and integral part of the ''Grand External Propaganda Strategy''. According the [[Confucius Institute]]'s constitutions, the initial cost of setting up would be 100% paid by the Chinese government, and the subsequent 50% of the running cost would be paid by the Chinese government.<ref>http://www.epochtimes.com/b5/9/1/28/n2411240.htm 陶達知: 孔子學院——中共大外宣格局的重要組成部份</ref><ref>http://www.kanzhongguo.com/node/377159 何清涟：中国“大外宣”的“本土化”战略： 2010-11-12 1</ref>

'''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.

Many activists, conspiracy theorists etc compile their own unofficial maps, though these can often be more flights of fancy than actually related to any real locations[[Category:Map types]]

[[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'.

== 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>.

'''Trevor Clark''' began his career in [[London]] as a fashion and advertising photographer in the early 1960s. From his studio in Soho, he photographed top models of the day.   Several up and coming pop groups of the [[Swinging Sixties]] who were on the edge of worldwide fame - the [[Beatles]], [[Rolling Stones]], and [[Moody Blues]] were photographed at Trevor's studio.

[[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. New York: Free Press </ref>.
+
He has recently unearthed photographs of the Beatles and Rolling Stones from 1963 from his archive. These photos had never been seen, and Trevor is making them available as limited editions.

[[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.'' Journal of Loss and Trauma''.Volume 15, Issue 4 July 2010 , pages 370 - 375 </ref><ref>Karen Meyers, 2009, The truth about death and dying, page 106, 2nd Edition, Infobase Publishing</ref>. 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.

Jash[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jash Jash (Kurdish: CaÅŸ or CahÅŸ, literally meaning "donkey's foal"), or fursan[1] is a type of collaborator[1], usually a military unit composed of people of Kurdish descent that cooperates with enemy combatants against the Kurdish army, Kurdish rebels, or the Kurdish civilian population.[1][2][3] The term is considered derogatory[1] in a cultural sense in much the same way as quisling is.

History[edit]

In 624 AD (one of the earliest known appearances of this term), during a military campaign of extermination and looting taking place within the Battle of Badr, a commander's orders informed jash units that taking cattle, sheep, goats, money, weapons and even Kurdish women was legal.[4]

In the latter half of the 20th century, Kurds who became collaborators with the Iraqi government have been referred to as jash.[3] The number of jash increased to "as many as 150,000 by 1986" as a method of avoiding military participation in the Iran–Iraq War. These jash then realigned with the rest of the Kurdish people during the 1991 Kurdish uprising. It has been stated by a number of Kurds that "the jash had been completely forgiven".[5]

Friends of Five Creeks[edit]

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


Template:Infobox organization Friends of Five Creeks is a regional community volunteer organization founded in 1996 by Sonja Wadman originally dedicated to the stewardship of creeks in northern Alameda County and western Contra Costa, California, United States.[1][2][3] Education about wildlife and restoration is also a major facet of the FCC's mission.[4][5]

History[edit]

The organization is dedicated to improving creek habitats for environmental, flood control, pollution filtration, and beautification reasons. The original five creeks were Cerrito Creek-Middle/Blackberry, Marin Creek, Codornices Creek, Schoolhouse Creek and Marin/Village Creek, however the organization's involvement has expanded to all the creeks in the area including the communities of Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Kensington, Richmond, and the surrounding unincorporated areas.[3][2] Susan Schwartz the organizations leader states that the organization like other "friends of" groups would not have gotten off the ground without help from the Urban Creeks Council.[6] The group holds up to 40 events a year where the volunteers work on refuse collection, graffiti removal, removing culverts in addition to plating native vegetation and removing invasive species.[7][2] There is a monthly work party to pick weeds and showcase the area's natural habitats with a new site each month.[4] The organization is registered with the California Coastal Commission.[1]

Creek work[edit]

Village Creek is maintained by FFC.

The organization organizes more than 40 work parties each year, providing direction and tools for groups of volunteers who work to restore a section of one of the creeks.[8]

Cerrito Creek runs from the El Cerrito hills to the San Francisco Bay. The organization has daylighted and restored a portion of the creek along the parking lot of El Cerrito Plaza Shopping Center.[4] Further down stream part of the creek runs through Pacific East Mall's parking lot, where it forms the border between Richmond and Albany.[9][10] This portion of the creek was daylighted and restored by the organization in 2003.[11][10] FFC president, Ron Sullivan, alleges that Pacific East Mall landscapers in Richmond have used herbicides and that this could explain his observations of dead grasses, plants and trees along the creek path near the mall's property line. Furthermore, Sullivan alleges that small native shrubs were mowed and that the mall has not agreed to a written maintenance plan as required by their use permit.[10]

In 2001 the organization received two separate grants totaling $400,000 to work on the restoration of Codornices Creek.[12] In the 1990s the Friends of Five Creeks discovered the reappearance of steelhead and rainbow trout at Codornices Creek while performing restoration work.[13] The "Friends" are also lobbying for the creation of public space adjacent to the creek for a new Whole Foods supermarket and parking structure along the stream's banks in U.C. Village.[14]

The organization also helps to restore and work on some non-creek areas such as the Berkeley Meadow and Eastshore State Park in addition to blight abatement, and trash collection activities at local parks.[15][16][17] Working with Citizens for Eastshore Parks FCC is studying the possibility of daylighting a portion of Schoolhouse Creek.[18]

Education work[edit]

Friends of Five Creeks works with school groups to educate them about the creek and bay environments.[19]

Grand External Propaganda Strategy[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Grand_External_Propaganda_Strategy Keep, discuss, possibly merge

Grand External Propaganda Strategy, (Chinese:宏大的對外宣傳格局), short for （大外宣), is a Chinese government propaganda project with a budget worth RMB 45 billion Yuan(450亿元人民币), initiated in early 2009 by Hu Jintao. The aim of the project is "To take the first initiative, to have the first say, to be on the active side, to direct and lead public opinion, to improve the ability to propagate message internationally. (Chinese:“抢占先机，赢得话语权，掌握主动权，抓住提高舆论引导能力和国际传播能力”)

Both Li Changchun and Liu Yunshan have stressed in different occasions that the Chinese propaganda should be equally spread both domestically and internationally, andLi Changchun stated that:"Confucius Institute is...an important part of China’s overseas propaganda set-up"(Chinese:宏大的對外宣傳格局)[1][2][3]

1000 Confucius Institutes to be set up by 2020[edit]

On 24/4/2009, Li Changchun made announcement that the setting up of Confucius Institute around the world is an important and integral part of the Grand External Propaganda Strategy. According the Confucius Institute's constitutions, the initial cost of setting up would be 100% paid by the Chinese government, and the subsequent 50% of the running cost would be paid by the Chinese government.[4][5]

Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section[edit]

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

The Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section (CEP) is a section of the British Psychological Society (BPS) for those interested in the psychology of consciousness and experience. Initiated in 1994 by Jane Henry, Max Velmans, John Pickering, Elizabeth Valentine and Richard Stevens, the Section promoted and supported the reincorporation of consciousness studies into mainstream psychology.[1] Official approval for CEP was announced in 1997 during the BPS Annual Conference. The Section’s mission is ‘to advance our understanding of consciousness,[2] to bring scientific research on consciousness closer to other traditions of inquiry into the nature of mind, and to explore how this research can be used to improve the quality of life’.[3] As of 2010 Susan Stuart is the Section Chair. Every year in September the Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section holds its annual conference,[4][5] usually in Oxford.

Professional association[edit]

The Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section is one of thirteen sections of the British Psychological Society.[6] This section is for anyone interested in broad-based, rigorous academic exploration of consciousness and experience. The Section is an interest group comprising members of the British Psychological Society and also unaffiliated members. The Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section was the first, and remains the only, section of a nationally representative body of professional psychologists devoted to the study of consciousness.Template:citation needed

dead map[edit]

A dead map is a term often applied to sensitive government maps that show the location of top secret facilities and other highly sensitive installations within a country. Russia the United States and Great Britain all have such maps. Many activists, conspiracy theorists etc compile their own unofficial maps, though these can often be more flights of fancy than actually related to any real locations

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'.

Nominator: "One possibly notable achivement seems to be having taken some early photographs of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones". Hmm. Maaaybe... Following Trevor in the AfD listing was Wikipedia:Tiddlywiki, which received a close to Keep.

Template:Article for deletion/dated Template:BLP unsourced Trevor Clark began his career in London as a fashion and advertising photographer in the early 1960s. From his studio in Soho, he photographed top models of the day. Several up and coming pop groups of the Swinging Sixties who were on the edge of worldwide fame - the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Moody Blues were photographed at Trevor's studio.

Years later, Trevor moved to the sunny Mediterranean, to shoot permanently in exotic locations, and finally settled in Mallorca, where he still lives.

He has recently unearthed photographs of the Beatles and Rolling Stones from 1963 from his archive. These photos had never been seen, and Trevor is making them available as limited editions.
