Magherintemple is an area in north County Cavan in the province of Ulster, Ireland. It encompasses seventeen townlands of the Parish of Drung, in the Barony of Tullaghgarvey. The name Magherintemple comes from the Irish Machair an Teampaill meaning Temple on the plain. The area, which holds no other significance today other than communal, was in all probability a ballybetagh or tributary area of a Gaelic lordship possibly the Priory of Fore in County Westmeath. It centres on the townland of Magherintemple a drumlin or high hill known locally as Maghera.

Gingrich the Were-Grinch (for his violent podium-pounding speeches before sympathetic audiences), head on an ape body like the Darwin apeman. The right is essentially animalistic; the further you get up the evolutionary scale, past reptiles to mammals, pack mammals, and to humans, the more socialistic the behaviour.
  
Magherintemple as already stated is a high drumlin. Its summit is enclosed by two earthen enclosures. The extensive earthen formation is delimited from the surrounding terrain, by a massive ditch which was dug around the hill, and then by piling the excavated remains to the inside of the hill. In the survey of archaeological sites in Co. Cavan produced by the Office of Public Works and the Archaeological Survey of Ireland it is classified as follows; “Hilltop enclosure Marked ‘Fort’ on OS 1836 ed. Large oval area on the summit of a high drumlin hill enclosed by field boundaries. The outline of the enclosing elements which have been levelled from NNE-ENE and SSE-S-SSW is still traceable.”1 This information is not entirely correct. This formation has actually been levelled from ENE- N-NNW.

This enclosure contains a cemetery with a very uneven surface known as the ‘graveyard’ and the site of a prepenal church. The church is shown on the ‘Escheated Counties Map’ or ‘Down Survey’ and again in William Petty’s Hiberniǽ Deliniatio credited as Ireland’s first atlas. The graveyard is a small burial site with an uneven surface. As stated it encompasses a very small area of less than half and acre. From S-SE-NE it is delimited from the surrounding terrain by field boundaries. There are also traces of a ditch although this could be a later addition. The Graveyard is also markedly higher at this point and was almost certainly artificially raised from the surrounding terrain.  The remaining inner enclosure outline has been preserved by a road from NW-N. The northern section also shows another interesting feature, at intermittent sections there is an unmortared field stone wall of about forty centimetres in height, it is inbedded into the formation at ground level.

It served as a burial ground until the early 1930's for Magherintemple, Bunnoe a nearby area in the same parish, and much of the parish of Currin Co. Monaghan, with some burials from bordering parishes of Annagh and Kill "Killsherdany ". There are approximately 65 gravestones, (A small amount considering the antiquity of the site) but there are many standing stones without inscription, that may date from prefamine times. The earliest inscriptions are from the late 1700's and are in the English language. Many interesting carvings are to be found on the stones many of Celtic origin. No remains of the Church exist above ground today. On the examination of the site in 1948 an archaeologist Oliver Davies noted some masonry among which was cut stone fragment possibly from an early window. “The Church was a chapel-of-ease and not the centre of a parish. It is shewn with a tower on the Escheated Counties Map. It has disappeared. In the graveyard are several dressed blocks; but the only shaped one is, perhaps, a piece of an early window.”

==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. Randal, ''After Such Knowledge, What Forgiveness?: My Encounters with Kurdistan'', 356 pp., Westview Press, 1998, ISBN 0813335809, p.231</ref>
  
  Local information also points to another interesting feature of the site a cílín. A certain area of the graveyard was reserved for the burial of unbaptised children. It is overgrown. The practice is not uncommon in sites such as Magherintemple. “In some cases there is no surviving graveyard or merely an old graveyard without any inscribed headstones. Such sites were often used for the burial of unbaptised children during the last few centuries and are known by various names kileen, ceallúnach etc.).3 In Magherintemple the practice remained right up until the 1950’s.

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>
  
Magherintemple is not merely a hillfort or simply a hilltop enclosure that are common formations across Cavan, but to the fact that the site is more likely to be an early enclosed ecclesiastical site. Leo Swan writes when discussing in his essay the nature of similar ecclesiastical enclosures. “ Certain features are consistently associated with the ecclesiastical sites under discussion. Taking all such features together, they may be listed as follows, more or less in the frequency of occurrence:

Swan also states that all these features need not all be present four or five being sufficient to confirm the sites original purpose.

Tradition has it that the site was the location of an early Patrician Monastery, however there are now no ruins to substantiate this. The tradition states that Saint Patrick was visiting the neighbouring parish of Castletara, while on a hill there he noticed a large crowd assembled on a far off hill and of course the inquisitive Saint went over to investigate. The parish of Drung is reputed to have gotten its name from this encounter An Drong being the Old Irish for a large crowd or gathering. The tradition goes further to state that after Saint Patrick had converted this large crowd and set up a church in the townland of Drung, he then set his eyes on Magherintemple to the north. It was in the settlement of Magherintemple that he set up a Monastery. The amount of truth in this folk tale is debatable. Legends of this sort abound Ireland, especially southern Ulster with its relative proximity to Armagh the traditional seat of Saint Patrick. What can be ascertained from this story in real archaeological terms is that the chronology of habitation at the site can possibly be pushed back as some evidence would indicate to pre or at least early Christian Ireland.
 
  
Looking at the physical evidence the site provides one is immediately drawn to the earthen fortifications especially the outer enclosure. It is not hard to imagine the prominent position of the church and its enclosure over the surrounding area. Magherintemple is one of the highest hills in the area, and has an Ordinance Survey triangulation point. Records show that the monastic site in Magherintemple was under the Priory of Fore County Westmeath. After the Plantation of Ulster and The Act of Supremacy the lands of the ballybetagh of Magherintemple were given to the Protestant Church of Ireland.

 The greater area around Magherintemple shows a large amount of other earthen formations. There are hillforts and ringforts are in almost all the surrounding townlands. Of course these sites were not erected or habitated at the same time but allowing for a degree of continual habitation over a period of time one sees an area preoccupied with defending itself! The proximity to the Worm Ditch or Black Pigs Dyke as it is sometimes called can here be taken into account. The Worm Ditch is just over a mile from Magherintemple. It is the supposed the frontier between the Gaelic kingdoms of Breffni and Oriel and the much more ancient provinces of Ulster and Connacht. The origins and functions of this triple ditch blockade remain a mystery, but have now been shown through excavation, to be clearly defensive. It has also been shown that these defences were tested on at least on one occasion, and coupled with what could be an ancient folk tradition from the area the theory gains more credence. In Medieval times Magherintemple fort as the site is locally called is reputed to have been the focal point where Cavan and Monaghan men came to settle disputes either by bouts of wrestling or duel. Looking to other like sites one can begin to therefore throw light on Magherintemple’s origins and functions. “The available material evidence, in particular that from excavations, indicates that these ecclesiastical enclosures are mainly habitation sites.”2

Magherintemples survival as an ecclesiastical centre and habitated site may rest on its possible earlier pre-Christian origins. An example of some of the many ancient legends mixed with fact stored in the collective memory of the area is the ‘Stone’ at the fort. A large stone is reputed to have been present in the area to the north of the graveyard known as the ‘Fort’, up to the seventeen hundreds when it was stolen. This stone was a charm of some sorts. On May Day morning cattle from all surrounding areas were herded past the site. This it was believed would give the herd fertility and health in the coming year. The stone also oozed a greasy substance, which was highly prized for it’s medicinal value. From early Celtic times to the twilight era of the Gaelic control of Ulster there are many mentions of stones both magic and otherwise. Gaelic Taoisigh and Lords were traditionally married to the area they controlled in almost pre-Christian ritual. Possibly this ancient stone was like many others in Ulster and indeed Ireland and was a coronation stone of sorts. It’s importance remaining past the collapse of the Gaelic system in this ancient tradition.

This cattle gathering led in the sixteenth century to the development of a market or fair of sorts in Magherintemple. The O’ Reilly kingdom of Breifne of which Magherintemple was part was increasingly becoming part of a market economy as the sixteenth century progressed. The Mac Brady’s of Cavan were trading with the Pale and traditional gatherings such as those at Magherintemple were possibly utilised as fairs or markets. “It [Magherintemple] is approached by several old roads, and was important as a fair ground in the sixteenth century”

'''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.

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]].<ref>www.issuu.com/thepsychologist/docs/bpsannualreview2009</ref> Official approval for CEP was announced in 1997 during the [[BPS Annual Conference]]. The Section’s mission is ‘to advance our understanding of [[consciousness]],<ref>Velmans, M. (2009) Understanding Consciousness (2nd Ed). London: Routledge/Psychology Press</ref>  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]]’.<ref>.www.bps.org.uk/cep</ref>  As of 2010 [[Susan Stuart]] is the Section Chair.  Every year in September the Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section holds its annual conference,<ref>www.imprint.co.uk/pdf/17_11-12Conference%20Report_FINAL.pdf</ref><ref>www.psylin.plymouth.ac.uk/psypag/wp.../2010/.../PsyPag-75-June-2010.pdf</ref>  usually in Oxford.

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 Creek (California)|Middle/Blackberry]], [[Marin Creek]], [[Codornices Creek]], [[Schoolhouse Creek]] and [[Marin Creek|Marin/Village Creek]], however the organization's involvement has expanded to all the creeks in the area including the communities of [[Berkeley, California|Berkeley]], [[Albany, California|Albany]], [[El Cerrito, California|El Cerrito]], [[Kensington, California|Kensington]], [[Richmond, California|Richmond]], and the surrounding unincorporated areas.<ref name=ecpatch/><ref name=found/> 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]].<ref>[http://articles.sfgate.com/2003-04-04/news/17485539_1_creek-restoration-concrete-channel-blackberry-creek/3 Water warriors / United Creeks Council quietly fights to bring streams to light].

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 [[UK|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[[Category:Map types]]

'''Opposition to the Guangzhou-Hong Kong Express Rail Link''' ({{zh|t=反高鐵運動|l=Anti-High Speed Rail Movement}}), is a movement and period of civil discontent in [[Hong Kong]] between mid 2009 and early 2010. Select groups of Hong Kong residents protested the proposed Hong Kong section of the [[Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link|Guangzhou-Hong Kong Express Rail Link]] (abbreviated '''XRL'''), a high-speed railway that would link Hong Kong with mainland China's growing [[High-speed rail in China|high-speed rail network]].
+
  
== Background ==
 
Segments of the general public and various interest groups opposed to certain aspects of the [[Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link Hong Kong Section|Hong Kong section]] of the project mobilised through, petitions, marches, hunger-strikes, rallies to show their discontent at government insistence on pushing through the project. They cited cost, noise pollution, customs and border control complications, and existing rail links as main reasons for the opposition.
 
  
Pan-democracy legislators made the most of their limited opportunity within committee to query the project rationale within the [[Legislative Council of Hong Kong]] (LegCo), while civil groups kept vigil outside LegCo during the debate.  The January protest has also been called the "siege of Legco" by local media.<ref>The Standard, "[http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=30&art_id=93256&sid=26736417&con_type=1&d_str=20100118&sear_year=2010 Fast and Furious]" ''The Standard'' Retrieved on 19 January 2010.</ref> Ultimately, the movement was unsuccessful in impeding the government's plans to build the railway.

'''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”)

The opposition was initiated by media activists already active in high key campaigns such as the struggle for the preservation of the Star Ferry and Queen's Piers in 2006 and 2007, at the outset, only focused on saving Choi Yuen Tsuen village, which was painstakingly built by its residents over four decades. Yet, while the activists were working on ways to solve the problem, they found out the many inconsistencies with the government plan and finally went out to oppose the rail link as a whole. It was widely regarded as sacrificing the interests of the common people to a small minority of economic elites.

Besides possible damage to the environment during its construction and operation, the rail link would cost [[HK$]]69.9&nbsp;billion (US$9&nbsp;billion), while the estimated return over 50 years is only HK$80b. A village along the track, [[Tsoi Yuen Tsuen]], home to about 500 people, would be dismantled. [[Tai Kok Tsui]] residents said the railway would cause unbearable noise pollution to residents in some districts and could cause a number of old buildings with poor foundations to collapse.<ref>[http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=11&art_id=92560&sid=26584793&con_type=1&d_str=20100104 New front opens in fight against hi-speed rail link], ''The Standard'' (4 January 2010)</ref>
 
  
A number of different groups, ranging from [[environmentalist]]s to the affected villagers, oppose the project for different reasons. With regular demonstrations, the collection of signatures and various other forms of protest, they are trying to raise awareness among the population and to exert pressure upon the respective politicians. By the end of June 2009 more than 10,000 signatures, opposing plans for the railway, were collected.<ref>[http://www.expressrailtruth.com/news20090629_05.html Village fights rail line that will wipe it out], ''South China Morning Post'', (28 June 2009) (third party link)</ref>

Doubts have also been cast on the official projections and plans for the national rail link. While the rail link is officially needed to connect to the high-speed national rail network at [[Shibi Railway Station|Shibi, Guangzhou]], reports show that nearly 80% of the trains will actually end in [[Shenzhen]].<ref>[http://www.expressrailtruth.com/news20090916_01.html Most trains will stop short of new mega hub], ''South China Morning Post'' (16 September 2009) (third party link)</ref>  Hong Kong's [[Pro-democracy camp]] has said that the project will only benefit developers.<ref>"[http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2010/01/17/2003463671 HK protesters fight police over new Guangzhou railway]", ''Taipei Times'', retrieved on 16 January 2010.</ref>

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.

The Section’s mission is ‘to advance our understanding of [[consciousness]],<ref>Velmans, M. (2009) Understanding Consciousness (2nd Ed).

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 [[UK|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[[Category:Map types]]

'''Justin Capră''' (born 22 February 1933) (Iustin)  is a [[Romanian people|Romanian]] inventor. He was born in Măgureni, [[Prahova County|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.

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&nbsp;kg and was capable of covering 100&nbsp;km on 0.5 liters of fuel.{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} He also produced another model, the Soleta I.C.200, which could reach 67&nbsp;km/h. None of his cars have been produced commercially.

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.
 
 
==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. <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]] .

[[image:Guarded.title.jpg|right|thumb|[[Lifeboat Foundation#GETAS|GETAS]] threat level]]
 
 
The '''Lifeboat Foundation''' is a non-profit organization aiming to reduce [[existential risk]]s 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 engineering|genetic]] and [[nanoengineering]].<ref name=mission>{{cite web|title=Mission Statement|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/mission.statement|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=2010-11-17}}</ref>  The misuse of such technologies by only a few individuals, it argues, could produce devastating results.  It maintains a system&mdash;called [[Lifeboat Foundation#GETAS|GETAS]]&mdash;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 [[Lifeboat Foundation#Programs|Programs]] and its [[Lifeboat Foundation#Advisory Boards|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.<ref name=finances>{{cite web|url = http://lifeboat.co/ex/finances|title=Finances|accessdate=2010-10-29|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation}}</ref>
 
 
==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."<ref name=mission />
 
 
==History==
 
===Origins===
 
{{Refimprove|section|date=November 2010}}
 
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.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.eric.klien|title=Eric Klien|accessdate=2010-11-01|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation}}</ref> The project was eventually abandoned due to lack of funding.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oceania.org/|accessdate=2010-11-01|title=Final Words|publisher=The Atlantis Project}}</ref>
 
 
The [[September 11th attacks]] led Klien to found a humanitarian organization "bent on the preservation of human life, against all odds".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.eric.klien|title=Eric Klien|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=22 November 2010}}</ref>  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.

===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.<ref name=finances />
 
 
==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."<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:
 
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
| align="center"|[[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."<ref name=GETAS />
 
|-
 
| align="center"|[[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."<ref name=GETAS />
 
|-
 
| align="center"|[[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 [[2006 North Korean nuclear test|detonated a nuclear device in 2006]], it raised global political tension and prompted the Lifeboat Foundation to declare an elevated threat condition."<ref name=GETAS/>
 
|-
 
| align="center"|[[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) <ref name=GETAS/>
 
|-
 
| align="center"|[[File:severe.condition.jpg]] || "The severe condition reflects an extreme global risk&mdash;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."<ref name=GETAS />  (never declared)
 
|-
 
| align="center"|[[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 seal]]ed off from the outside world.  Space evacuees would be launched to their designated space arks." (not yet declared)<ref name=GETAS />
 
|}
 
 
===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 [[asteroid]]s and [[comet]]s on a collision course with Earth, thus avoiding [[impact events]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Asteroid Shield|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=20 November 2010|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/asteroid.shield}}</ref>
 
*'''BioShield''', aiming at preventing and countering the effects of attacks with [[biological agent]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/bio.shield|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=2010-11-16|title=BioShield}}</ref>
 
*'''Space Habitats''', designing and encouraging the technology for [[space colonies|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".<ref name=spacehabitats>{{cite web|title=Space habitats|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=20 November 2010|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/space.habitats}}</ref>

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

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'.

Trevor Clark[edit]

Site link shows very badly retouched/Photoshopped photos of the Beatles http://www.trevorclark.co.uk/image_1.html Trevor's page was listed in people- fashion- and photo-related discussions, but not music-related. 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.
