Vankleek Hill, Ontario

Vankleek Hill is a town in Champlain Township in Eastern Ontario. It has a population of 1,996.

The town was named after Simeon Vankleek, a United Empire Loyalist who settled there near the end of the 18th century. The agricultural-based community became a thriving community in the 1890s and still retains many of the buildings and structures of the time. As such it is called the gingerbread (the wood carvings on the eaves of one's roof) capital of Ontario.

History
Simeon Van Kleeck and his wife Cecilia Jaycox arrived in Nova Scotia from the former British Province of New York in 1783. Simeon, of Dutch descent, was a demobilized officer who had supported the British crown during the American Revolution. His wife Cecilia had witnessed her brother's capture and execution for his British allegiance.

As a United Empire Loyalist, Simeon was to receive land in payment for his services, and he applied for his grant several times. The legend is that while he waited for a decision, he sighted high ground on a plane of flat land south of the Ottawa River. Simeon and his son Simeon Jr. settled c.1797 on Concession IV, Lots 7,8, and 9, Hawkesbury Township. Today this is the location of Vankleek Hill.

Vankleek Hill prosperity began with the VanKleeck's family inn that served travellers going to and from the Ottawa River port of L’Orignal to southern ports on the St. Lawrence River. Soon tradesmen and merchants were established at the four corners where today Highway 34 intersects with Main Street (County Road 10).

Since 1998 Vankleek Hill is one of four municipalities that make up the Township of Champlain that includes L’Orignal, and the townships of Longueuil and West Hawkesbury. These four communities were first historically linked through family and social ties, farming and commerce; and today with a new common municipal government.

Gingerbread Capital of Ontario
Vankleek Hill was named Ontario's Gingerbread Capital in 2003. Gingerbread is the woodwork that adds architectural detail to building exteriors and interiors. The porches, windows, gables, and rooflines of over 250 homes in Vankleek Hill contain Victorian era decorative gingerbread elements. Builders ordered millwork through catalogues. By the 1890s, the new Vankleek Hill Manufacturing Company on Mill Street created and sold decorative shingles, latticework, verge boards, columns, spindles and brackets.

The backdrop for the gingerbread is red brick, a hallmark of Vankleek Hill Victorian and Edwardian period buildings. The local rich clay deposits were kilned to a distinctive soft red brick by at least three local brick factories active here in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Tourism
In Vankleek Hill two trompe-l’oeil murals at the corner of Home Avenue and Main Street East, and on the north side of the historic Methot building on High Street depict early Vankleek Hill storefronts, trades, community life, and the annual Vankleek Hill Agricultural Society Fair. A third mural at the corner of Main Street East and Highway 34 celebrates activities, landscapes, buildings that came to life in this agricultural community. There is a tribute to the military aid received during the 1998 Ice Storm.

All three murals depict true-life Vankleek Hill people, and were created by regional artists Elizabeth Skelly and Odile Têtu.

A ‘secret’ mural of Magical Beasts is located on a wall east of the Firehall and was created by local artist Susan Jephcott with her friends.

The Vankleek Hill & District Historical Society threads the telling of local history through the buildings and their architecture. Home Avenue, contains the remains of the significant Higginson Tower, originally a windmill built in c.1832, that sits next to the once Higginson home c.1850.

Next door is St. John Anglican Church celebrating 150 years. Derby Street brings the charming and colourful log home constructed c.1828 by Stephen Cafs, a United Empire Loyalist. Main Street East contains the Georgian stone home built c.1828 by blacksmith Julius Blaisdell, and several Victorian red brick homes that housed physicians such as 127, and 151 Main Street East. Look across the street from the red brick of 151 to find the mirror image in painted pine.

Vankleek Hill hosts several annual cultural events including a Victorian Christmas Home Tour on the first Saturday in November, the May Show Festival during the long weekend in May and an annual Fiddling, Step-dancing and Squaredancing Competition on the July 1 weekend, every second year Family Local History Day in the fall and Yes Women Can! women's show in the spring, and the Vankleek Hill Fair held annually in August. A Festival of Flavours takes place the third Sunday in September. In 2008, a dining table stretched the length of Main Street where visitors could enjoy local foods from chefs cooking at their booths along the street. Four historical murals painted on some of the town's heritage buildings are a popular tourist attraction.

Each March hockey players from Ontario, Quebec and the north-eastern United States gather in Vankleek Hill for a 4 on 4 hockey tournament known as the Pond Rocket Cup. Teams are made up of former junior, college and pro players, but also feature local players. The PRC as it is known, has become the social event of the winter in the area.

The community also has cross-country skiing trails and has many beautiful murals, which decorate downtown buildings.

The town is known for its stately Victorian brick homes. In celebration of this architecture, the Victorian Christmas Home Tour is a popular event, taking place most recently November 6, 2010.

The town is the home of Beau's All Natural Brewing Company, an award-winning craft brewery that supplies pubs, restaurants, and vendors across Canada.

Vankleek Hill is currently home to a community garden, which has two acres of organically grown produce being harvested by residents within a few steps of Main Street. The town has one set of traffic lights, parks, an arena, and a fairground.

Education
The Vankleek Hill area supports several educational facilities. At the elementary level, there are three different schools which children are able to attend:
 * Pleasant Corners Public School (PCPS), an English language school and part of the Upper Canada District School Board
 * St. Jude Catholic School, a half-English, half-French school that is part of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario
 * St. Gregoire (École Saint-Grégoire de Vankleek Hill), a fully French-language school and part of the Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l'Est ontarien.

The town's secondary school, Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute (VCI), is the only English speaking High School in the region and, like PCPS, is also part of the Upper Canada District School Board.

Vankleek Hill can boast of having the longest running Nursery School/Daycare in the area. The now Champlain Day Nursery opened in September 1972 and has been in operation since. Many of Vankleek Hill and area children have attended at one time or another and now the third generation will be starting. The Champlain Township provides bilingual early childhood education services for children 18 months to 12 years old and employment for 25 adults in 7 different settings. In October 2007, a new daycare, Centre Éducatif Champlain Learning Centre opened in the St-Jude Catholic School and in March 2009, L'Atelier des Petits Champlain opened in the St-Jean-Baptiste school in L'Original.

Political representation
Vankleek Hill is now one of four wards in Champlain Township. Champlain Township was created on January 1, 1998, as the result of municipal mergers. Champlain Township consists of these former municipalities: The Town of Vankleek Hill, The Village of L'Original, The Township of West Hawkesbury and The Township of Longueuil

Vankleek Hill is part of the Glengarry-Prescott-Russell federal riding.

Its federal Member of Parliament is Liberal Francis Drouin, a 31-year old political assistant and consultant, who won well over 50% of the vote. At the provincial level, the riding is represented by Progressive Conservative MPP Stéphane Sarrazin

Left Party (Turkey)

The Left Party (Sol Parti, often written as SOL Parti) is a secular, socialist political party in Turkey. The Party was founded after Freedom and Solidarity Party (Özgürlük ve Dayanışma Partisi – ÖDP) decided to change its name as the Left Party at the 8th Extraordinary Congress held in Ankara on December 22, 2019.

Although after the foundation the leadership of the Left Party did not completely rule out the legacy of its predecessor (ÖDP), which was more inclined to libertarian socialism and political pluralism ideologically, the party tends to differentiate itself from the past. It now adheres to the guiding principles of socialist politics (including public ownership, social justice, and equality), embraces the ideas and historical achievements of Marxist and left-wing revolutionary tradition in Turkey (more specifically the party cadres consisted of former militants and sympathizers of radical-left Devrimci Yol movement in the 1970s), and included the elements of left-wing populism in its manifesto.

In retrospect, neither the Left Party nor its predecessor ÖDP demonstrated significant electoral success in Turkey. The party has never been able to achieve a vote share of 1%, remaining far below Turkey's 10 percent national election threshold. Thus, it did not have any opportunity to be represented in the parliament as a party. However, the party launched and carried out several political campaigns to build extra-parliamentary opposition in Turkey, often together with other left-wing groups and parties, civil society organizations and trade unions. Also, in different local elections, it had minor achievements in places like Hopa. Today, the Left Party has no single leader. Instead, it is ruled by the Board of Presidents consisting of four members (including Önder İşleyen [official leader], Pelin Bektaş, Çiçek Çatalkaya and İlknur Başer).

The party is a member of the Party of the European Left and, up until July 2022, was nationally affiliated with the United June Movement when it was announced, in a press conference in Ankara, that the party along with the Communist Party of Turkey, the Revolutionary Movement and the Communist Movement of Turkey would form a coalition for the 2023 national election, called the Union of Socialist Forces.

History
It was founded in 1996 as a merger of several left-wing groupings. In the 1999 general election, its first major electoral outing, the party polled 0.8% of the vote, falling far behind the 10% threshold required for parliamentary representation. A deep internal crisis followed and by 2001, several of the initial groupings left. In 2002 elections, the party's share of the national vote fell further to 0.3%.

In the 2004 local elections, the ÖDP gained control of two town halls in Artvin and Yozgat provinces. In these elections, the ÖDP had joined an electoral coalition with the pro-Kurdish left-wing Democratic People's Party (Turkey) (DEHAP) and the center-left Social Democratic People's Party (SDHP). At the next 2009 local elections, Mithat Nehir was the sole victorious ÖDP candidate in the entire republic (17,723 votes for the whole country, i.e. 0.04%), and became mayor of the Samandağ district.

Ufuk Uras, who was then the president of the party was elected to the parliament from the independents' ticket, during the 2007 general election. The party's formal lists, which hadn't fielded candidates in several key constituencies in support of the left-wing candidates standing on the independents' ticket, polled 0.15% in that poll.

In the 6th congress held on June 20, 2009, the delegates elected Alper Taş as the new leader, solely nominated as the chairmanship. Apart from the discussions on some political headlines, Party Assembly consisting of sixty people was also assigned. In this congress, the signals that the party will have a more anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist route were given.

Former chairman Ufuk Uras resigned from ÖDP on June 19, 2009, one day before the congress. During a press conference at Parliament, Uras said, “We are resigning together with the Freedom Left, who have worked in the founding of the party and held various positions at different times in the ÖDP – from provincial and district branch administration to membership in the party council, central steering and discipline committees – where we have been struggling since its founding for a historic meeting that overrides the existing structures.”

In the 8th extraordinary congress on 22 December 2019, the party changed its name to Left Party.

Tendencies
The Libertarian Socialist Platform within the Freedom and Solidarity Party is a successor to the Dev Yol radical left-wing movement. Other minor groups are New Way (USFI member), Liberation Movement (joined Socialist Democracy Party in 2002), Odak that links to Direniş Hareketi (founded as THKP-C/Third Way and joined Socialist Democracy Party in 2002), Socialist Labor Movement. Libertarian Left Platform, the tendency that was supportive of Ufuk Uras left the party with Uras in June 2009 and was one of the groups that eventually established the Peoples' Democratic Party.

File talk:Utah miners.jpg

This photograph proves that "white females" were discriminated against in the workforce. It is a shame that discrimination against "white females" existed. It is a certainty that "white females" admired and adored the position in the workforce that the sweaty, unbathed "white males" enjoyed to the fullest. The maltreatment of "white females" of the 19th century must be atoned for in future years. The great injustices of the past must be brought to an end, forever. It is God's will.

Untitled
Is there any reference for this pretended "sect" - it's location, it's main protagonists, its history, a link to an external site providing a more and better detailed account?

 * Take it to the "Talk page" muya? Why, because Wiki's divine right to slander and libel is being challenged? You are all a bunch of ignorant cowards! If you have guts put up the facts! facts! facts!

 * Except for the fact that Mel Gibson and his family are said to belong to this group, I can't find any real evidence on the Internet of its existence. But of course it probably doesn't call itself a "sect", and searching for "Holy Family Church" just gets tons of individual churches with that name. --Angr/(comhrá) 22:16, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * It apparently exists. Unless snopes, the New York Times, etc are all lying. Although it's elder is apparently secretive as he told Christopher Noxon he'd only be interviewed if "I not identify him or any member of the congregation." The priest of the place used to work at a San Gabriel Valley Church that's now SSPX. Or so he says. I don't find any SSPX chapels in San Gabriel Valley.--T. Anthony 05:47, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Independent Catholic and Orthodox Bishops: See: Episcopi Vaganti

There are more than 300 independent Catholic and Orthodox churches in the United States; most governed by men and some by women who claim apostolic succession matching that of the Roman Catholic or the main-line Orthodox or Eastern Rite denominations. While their apostolic successions are generally beyond question, their faith and liturgical practices vary widely from the most radical and liberal practices and beliefs to the most conservative. These include the Society of Saint Pius X, The SSPV, the Mariavite Old Catholic Church, the Polish National Old Catholic Church, The Congregation of Mary, etc. Gibson's Holy Family Church and the new one he is helping to build are independents holding fast to the pre-Vatican II faith and liturgics of the Roman Catholic Church. They are a very "valid" church in every sense of the word even though they are not in "communion" with or under the jurisdiction of a Roman bishop. Karl Pruter's Directory of Independent Bishops lists a great number of valid bishops who have similiar congregations.

Sedevacantism
I think the article should try to show that Mel Gibson is not a sedevacantist as some have alleged, although his father Hutton might have been. Sedevecantism merits excommunication for schism, but people like Mel Gibson are not the same as sedevacantists. Rather, Mel's chapel is similar to the chapels run by the Society of Saint Pius X, whose excommunication was recently lifted. Furthermore, Mel has been in regular contact with a Mexican archbishop, who helps him remain in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. ADM (talk) 11:20, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Mika Nakashima

Mika Nakashima (中島 美嘉) is a Japanese singer and actress. Five of her studio albums, one of her mini-albums and one of her compilation albums have reached number one in Japan's Oricon album chart. She also embarked on an acting career, most notably as Nana Osaki in the live action film adaptations of Nana. She has sold over 10 million records in Japan.

Early life
Born and raised in Kyushu, Mika was the youngest of three children. She grew up in the small town of Hioki, Kagoshima, where she has said there was "nothing there, only enka." She began listening to enka singer Eiko Segawa and studied classical Japanese dance, but as she loved dressing-up and make-up, she hoped to work in fashion magazines since she was too short to become a model. Nakashima decided not to attend high school after completing junior high and began working at the age of 15.

2001–2004: Debut, True, Love, and Music
At the age of 17, she attended an audition not knowing what it was for. She was chosen from 3,000 girls to be the actress of the fall 2001 Fuji TV drama Kizudarake no Love Song (傷だらけのラブソング), in which she played the heroine Mirai Shimazaki, and also sang the theme song, "Stars." In November 2001, "Stars" became her debut on Sony Music Associated Records, which would go on to become her best-selling single. Her second single "Crescent Moon", an 80s themed song, was limited to 100,000 copies. It sold out the first day of its release. In March 2002 she released her third single, "One Survive," and her first video collection, "Film Lotus". This was followed in May by her 4th single, "Helpless Rain", and in August, by her 5th single "Will", which went on to rack up sales of over 140,000. Both were top ten hits and sold around 100,000 copies, proving Nakashima's rising star appeal. Nakashima's first album, True, released in August 2002, was a number 1 hit on the Oricon charts. The album boasted a mature mixture of jazz and contemporary pop. In 3 weeks, True sold a million copies, and has sold nearly 1,174,000 copies to date. Then, as a commemoration of one year since her debut, Nakashima released a Premium EP: Resistance, which hit the charts' number 1 spot for two weeks in a row. On December 18, a documentary video, Kiseki: The Document of a Star, was released. In 2002, the singer received the "New Artist of the Year" award at the Japan Gold Disc Awards and "Best New Artist of the Year" at the All Japan Request Awards 2002. She also won the "New Artist of the Year" award from the 44th Japan Record Awards.

Nakashima's second album, Love, which was released in November 2003, sold nearly 1.45 million copies, surpassing that of her debut. The Japan Composers Association awarded Love the Best Album Award. After releasing a second mini-album, Oborozukiyo: Inori, in September 2004, Nakashima topped the Oricon Album Chart again with Music in March 2005, as well as with her first greatest hits album Best in December of that year. Best is the third album by Nakashima to have sold a million copies or more, but like her second album, Best also outsold True in sales - by nearly 30,000 copies.

2005–2006: Movie debut and Nana
In 2005, Nakashima co-starred alongside Aoi Miyazaki in the live-action movie Nana, based on the manga of the same name, which was released September 10, 2005. She also sang one of the theme songs for the movie, which was released as a single under the name "Nana starring Mika Nakashima". The single, titled "Glamorous Sky," was written by the manga's author, Ai Yazawa, and composed by L'Arc-en-Ciel vocalist Hyde. It was Nakashima's only number 1 single on the Oricon Singles Charts. It sold over 423,000 copies in 2005, making it the best-selling female single of the year. The single continued selling well into the next year and sold 444,067 copies, which was about 25,000 copies less than her Nana co-star, Yuna Ito's "Endless Story". The single was featured in Konami's guitar/drum simulation game GuitarFreaks and Drummania V3, as well as Nintendo's Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2.

Nakashima was nominated at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan as "Best Buzz Asia from Japan" for "Amazing Grace '05", and the "Glamorous Sky" video was nominated as "Best Female Video" and won the award for "Best Video from a Film". Due to the success of Nana, a sequel was released in December 2006. It included two new songs by Nakashima, again under the name Nana starring Mika Nakashima. The theme song to Nana 2 movie was "Hitoiro" (One Color), which was also written by Yazawa, with music composed by Glay's leader, Takuro, who also wrote the coupling song, "Eyes for the Moon". Besides the single, Mika released the album The End, featuring all songs released under the name Nana starring Mika Nakashima.

On December 18, 2006, Nakashima and Yui Ichikawa came to New York City for the International Premiere of Nana 2 at the IFC Center. Following the release of the Nana movie, Nakashima visited Memphis, Tennessee, and started another project beginning with the heavily gospel-influenced "Cry No More", the ending theme of the anime Blood+. She also contributed to the New Orleans charity tribute when she teamed up with American musicians Cyril Neville of the Neville Brothers and jazz pianist/musician Alan Toussaint. They released the single All Hands Together and as a result of her efforts, she was rewarded with an honorary citizenship of Memphis, Tennessee and a key to the city.

2007–2008: Yes and Voice
A month later Mika released another single "My Sugar Cat," which dropped out of the Top 50 a week after its release. On February 21, 2007, Nakashima's 21st single, "Mienai Hoshi" was released. The single is the theme song for the Japanese drama Haken no Hinkaku (ハケンの品格), which aired starting January 10, 2007. The b-side track "I Love You" is a cover of the Ozaki Yutaka ballad. Promotional videos were made for both songs. On March 14, 2007, Nakashima's 5th studio album, Yes, was released in Japan. The title "Yes" continues Nakashima's trend of having one-word album titles, such as "Love" and "True", excluding the Nana album "The End". Her 22nd single, Sunao na Mama, was released on the same day. Following the release of Yes, Nakashima embarked on her first tour since 2005, Mika Nakashima's Concert Tour 2007 "Yes My Joy", which ended in late July and was subsequently released on DVD on November 7, 2007. Nakashima's 23rd single "Life" as well as "Film Lotus VI", her sixth compilation of music videos, were released in August 2007. "Life" was the theme song for the drama adaptation of the shoujo manga series of the same name by Keiko Suenobu. Nakashima's 24th single, "Eien no Uta", appeared in October 2007, and was the theme to the movie Southbound. Promotional videos were made for both Eien no Uta and its B-side, a cover of Cole Porter's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To".

Her 25th single, "Sakura: Hanagasumi", was released in March 2008. It reached number 12 on the Oricon chart. "I Don't Know", Nakashima's 26th single, was her first sung entirely in English. A collaboration with owarai group Morisanchū (森三中) it was released under the name MICA 3 CHU (Mikasanchuu) and Nakashima claimed it was her way to "vent my complaints and enjoy doing something really silly. The music of the song was too short to put so many words in Japanese so it was better in English, if I feel like doing it again, there will be more." Nakashima's next single, "Orion", was released on November 12, 2008. It was used as an insert song for the TBS drama "Ryusei no Kizuna", in which Nakashima herself appeared in a minor role. Nakashima's fifth studio album, Voice, was released on November 26, 2008. Voice, which leaned closer to a mainstream yet mature form of adult-oriented contemporary pop than her previous albums, was the first album by Nakashima to top the Oricon Album Chart since Best in 2005 and sold over 155,000 copies in its first week of release and over 340,000 copies in total.

2009–2010: Star and film projects
After releasing a new album called No More Rules on March 5, 2009, Nakashima embarked on her fifth tour. This Japan-based tour was called the "Trust Our Voice Tour 2009", which started on April 10, 2009, and concluded in Tokyo at the end of July 2009. She introduced her then-new single, "Over Load", released on May 13, 2009, during the tour. "Life" ranked number 7 in JASRAC Award 2009: 10 best interactive song. "Life" was also used in the TV series Life (ライフ).

Antti Aarne

Antti Amatus Aarne (December 5, 1867 in Pori – February 2, 1925 in Helsinki) was a Finnish folklorist.

Background
Aarne was a student of Kaarle Krohn, the son of the folklorist Julius Krohn. He further developed their historic-geographic method of comparative folkloristics, and developed the initial version of what became the Aarne–Thompson classification system of classifying folktales, first published in 1910 and extended by Stith Thompson first in 1927 and again in 1961.

Early in 1925, Aarne died in Helsinki (Finland) where he had been a lecturer at the University since 1911 and where he had held a position as Professor extraordinarius since 1922.

Aetherius Society

The Aetherius Society is a new religious movement founded by George King in the mid-1950s  as the result of what King claimed were contacts with extraterrestrial intelligences, to whom he referred as "Cosmic Masters". The main goal of the believer is to cooperate with these Cosmic Masters to help humanity solve its current Earthly problems and advance into the New Age. It is a syncretic religion, based primarily on theosophy and incorporating millenarian, New Age, and UFO religion aspects. Emphases of the religion include altruism, community service, nature worship, spiritual healing and physical exercise. Members meet in congregations like those of churches. John A. Saliba states that, unlike many other New Age or UFO religions, the Aetherius Society is for the most part considered uncontroversial, although its esoteric and millenarian aspects are sometimes questioned. The religion may be considered to have a relatively conventional praxis, attracting members from mainstream society. The society's membership, although international, is relatively small. David V. Barrett suggested in 2011 that the worldwide membership was in the thousands, with the largest numbers in the United Kingdom, United States (particularly Southern California) and New Zealand.

Overview
The theology of the Aetherius Society is regarded as firmly based in theosophy, the Aetherius Society combines UFO claims, yoga, and ideas from various world religions,  notably Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. The society asserts itself as a plural or liberal religion, stating "nor does God favor people of one religion over another – and certainly not people of one country or race over another". Stefan Isaksson notes that it has "become a complex religious belief system that includes an extraterrestrial hierarchy of various spiritual masters and such concepts as universal karma and religious healing." The religion's goal is to prevent worldly destruction by improving cooperation between humanity and various alien 'masters', and by using 'spiritual energy' to improve the spiritual calibre of the world. The society has claimed that various disasters may be prevented or relieved by prayer, often aided by "Spiritual Energy Batteries" meant to store healing psychic energy  The society also believes that it is to prepare the way for the "Next Master," a messianic figure who will descend upon Earth in a flying saucer, possessing "magic" more powerful than all the world's armies. The society is named after Aetherius, a being King claims to have telepathically contacted and channelled. Aetherius is believed to be a Cosmic Master from Venus, as are Buddha and Jesus.

History
George King was born on 23 January 1919, in Wellington, Shropshire, England and brought up in a Protestant family with strong occult interests. Before founding the Aetherius Society, King had been deeply involved in spiritual healing and had joined various theosophically-based metaphysical groups in London that were a marginal part of the religious scene. In 1944, he took up yoga, allegedly mastering bhakti, gnani and kundalini yogas and attaining the state of "Samadhi" and, according to the Aetherius Society, developed psychic powers that allowed him to learn many of the secrets of the universe.

King claimed that in 1954, a voice told him "Prepare yourself! You are to become the voice of Interplanetary Parliament." A week later, an unnamed but supposedly world-famous swami was reported to have entered King's locked apartment. King claims that the swami instructed him to form a group dedicated to helping the planet and that the swami further taught him yoga, prayer, and meditation. According to King, this training enabled him to receive telepathic messages from Venus, the first coming from Aetherius. King rented space in Caxton Hall in London, in which he allegedly channeled Cosmic Masters and recorded their messages. Based on his experiences and these messages, King founded the Aetherius Society. It appears that immediately prior to founding the Society, King was earning his living as a London taxi driver.

This version of events, however, is based solely on the Aetherius Society's hagiography, and not on external sources. Mikael Rothstein notes that a lack of objective, factual information is often a problem in studying religious leaders, even for new religious movements. The story of King, according to Rothstein, is part of an attempt (common to all religions) to portray their founder as an extraordinary individual to legitimize the religion.

According to the Aetherius Society, George King died in Santa Barbara, California, on July 12, 1997, at the age of 78. His death was not reported in major newspapers.

Belief and activities
In Aetherius Society teachings, various religious figures come from different planets, and throughout history Cosmic Masters such as Buddha, Jesus and Lao Tzu have come to Earth to teach mankind the right way of living. They are regarded by the society as Avatars. Krishna, for example, is from Saturn, which is the home of a "Cosmic Hierarchy" or "Interplanetary Council", while Jesus and Buddha are from Venus. The society therefore claims that these religions sprang from the same source and their principles were identical. These beings are, however, spiritual beings on another dimension or plane, as the idea of corporeal intelligent life on the other planets was known to be unlikely in the 1950s. The society's concept is that these beings exist on a 'spiritual level' by maintaining a 'higher vibratory rate' which can be lowered, and this explains the reported blinking in and out of UFOs. The society also refers to the vimanas found in Vedic and Hindu texts, and to the Star of Bethlehem, as UFOs and examples of peaceful aliens that have been visiting to teach humanity throughout history.

King taught a belief in reincarnation based on the "Law of Karma" according to which humanity progresses life by life towards the goal of perfection. Everyone is destined eventually to become a Master and to continue evolving from there. The society claims that evolution also includes planet Earth, which is regarded as a living entity at a much higher state of evolution and importance than its inhabitants. They allege that because of the backward evolution of humans, the Earth has been under frequent attacks from evil forces from other parts of the universe and that the Cosmic Masters of other planets are fighting off a number of evil alien invaders. In Aetherius Society literature, the cosmic battles with evil forces or intelligence "bear some resemblance to the fundamentalist Christian concept of 'spiritual warfare', shorn of its imminent apocalyptic content."

As in other New Age religions, alternative medicine, spiritual healing, yoga, and dowsing are also accepted and practised by the Aetherius Society. It has also launched initiatives against pollution and nuclear power, and generally identifies with the ideals of the Green Movement. However, the society believes that environmental and societal problems are only symptoms of a much larger spiritual problem that, once solved, would cure all other problems. This is the 'spiritual energy crisis'. King designed many items of equipment intended to contain and redirect 'spiritual energy' for such purposes.

Probably the best known of these is the "Spiritual Energy Battery". Its precise design and composition are not in the public domain. Its purpose is to hold a 'charge of spiritual energy for an indefinite period'. When connected to a "Spiritual Energy Radiator" (again designed by King), it can be 'discharged'. 'Spiritual workers' pray, chant mantras, and 'focus the energy' into the battery where it is 'stored'. The society's belief is that in times of crisis the energy can be released in a concentrated form and manipulated by cooperating Masters to the area in need. King named this activity "Operation Prayer Power". The Aetherius Society claims that under the guidance of the Cosmic Masters and with the aid of Spiritual Energy Batteries, they have prevented wars, and relieved the effects of natural disasters. King taught that these spiritual exercises help to prevent worldly destruction.

To help with this, the Aetherius Society regularly engages in "Spiritual Pushes" in which they pray and meditate to draw Prana to Earth from an orbiting spaceship known as "Satellite Number Three" which increases the amount of spiritual energy available. They claim that this satellite is shielded from telescopes and radar. In "Operation Starlight", between the years 1958 and 1961, King and various members climbed eighteen mountains throughout the world, so that the mountains could be 'spiritually charged' by the Cosmic Masters using King as the link. Members often make pilgrimages to these mountains where they have painted the movement's symbol, believing they receive more power than they can send out to the world through prayer. They believe that service to mankind is the most essential yoga or religion in the modern day.

King is now regarded by the Aetherius Society as an Avatar and Cosmic Master, though he did not make any claim to being either in his lifetime. The Aetherius Society also believes that King was the only person in the society to receive mental transmissions.

Eschatology
King claimed to have been contacted by many aliens, including Venusians, Martians, Devas, and the Great White Brotherhood to spread a message to aid humanity. This message exalted the promising future humanity has should Earthlings turn to better ways of living, while warning of the possible consequences otherwise. King taught that humans had the choice of self-destruction or the enjoyment of a New Age that was coming to Earth. He also taught that the Cosmic Masters had intervened via the Aetherius Society to help humanity into the New Age.

As Zeller notes in his chapter "Apocalyptic Thought in UFO Religions," King believed there would not be a catastrophic end to the world, but that the planet was on the verge of a new millennium of peace and enlightenment and the Age of Aquarius; King believe that this would also require human effort. The Aetherius Society's teachings share the individualism of not only other New Age teachings of the era, but of the Protestantism King grew up in, i.e. individual humans face the decision of whether to join the millennial kingdom.

The society also predicts the coming of 'the next Master' from space at an indefinite time, which is said to depend on the advancement of humans and the balance of karma. It is claimed he will arrive in a spacecraft with great power, and present his credentials to the leaders of Earth. Those who engage in war or ignore the 'Divine Law', will be removed from the Earth and reborn upon another planet where they will continue their progress. Those who understand the law will be left on Earth to enjoy the new millennium.

Zeller also compares King's call to correct living (with threats of suffering otherwise) to many forms of Christian apocalypticism, with King's claimed mental transmissions replacing the Bible as the standard for what that moral living is. The Aetherius Society's eschatology is millenarian and, like Christian apocalypticism and Manichaeism, features a strong moral dualism in that the society seeks to follow the positive forces of the white magicians, rejecting the opposing evil forces.

King claimed that Aetherius enabled him "to speak all terrestrial languages"—although he seemed unable to respond when asked questions in Norwegian and French.

The Silence Group
The Society claims that the 'Space Beings' have contacted the leading Governments of the world in many ways but a rather sinister group of individuals called 'The Silence Group' (a pseudonym coined by UFO researcher Major Donald E. Keyhoe) have been deliberately suppressing this information so as to keep people uninformed, or misinformed, as to their true nature. According to King, the Silence Group uses fear and ignorance to control humanity.

Theology
The Aetherius Society's theology is theosophical  and is also based on the continual evolution of all beings back to the source which is God. The society also refers to God as being "All in All, and All in All That," and the highest aspect of God as "The Absolute." The society believes that other beings exist that are so evolved compared to humanity that they are sometimes referred to as 'Gods' to distinguish them. "There is nothing but God in the cosmos, in varying stages of evolution. Everyone will eventually become a Master and will continue evolving from there." The society regards itself as a spiritual path rather than a religious movement per se. Its path contains various stages of spiritual evolution from earthly to cosmic. Karma and reincarnation are accepted by the religion as laws of nature. The society claims it is "not out to change existing religions so much as to add a cosmic dimension to them". Its religious services use both Christian prayers and Eastern mantras.

Criticism
Many of King's claims, particularly claims to various titles and honors, have been shown to be questionable at best.

Simon Smith states that the Aetherius Society has to bridge a number of credibility gaps exacerbated by scientific and technological advances, and mentions some seemingly insurmountable problems facing its world view, such as the non-existence of life on the other planets of the Solar System, and scarce evidence of spacecraft visiting Earth. The society uses the concepts of 'higher spheres of existence' to explain life on the other planets, and the 'lowly karmic position' of mankind to explain why extraterrestrials do not land openly. Hence the movement, while failing to keep pace with science and technology, has tried to explain consequent incompatibilities. However, explanation has become increasingly unnecessary for adherents due to their growing acceptance of King's charismatic authority.

Rothstein notes that while the Aetherius Society touts a television appearance of King's as a momentous event, contemporary media coverage of King was mostly negative.

In 1958, the society's publication "Cosmic Voice" claimed to give details transmitted by the Cosmic Masters of an atomic accident in Russia, i.e. the Kyshtym Disaster, that was not known about in the West until 1976 when revealed by the New Scientist magazine. The magazine, after receiving a claim about the transmission from the Aetherius Society, entered a two-paragraph item under the title "Scooped by a UFO!", next to other news items intended to be humorous, such as a report of a "Dolphin Embassy." The Aetherius Society, however, interprets the New Scientist coverage as recognition of King's integrity, and admission by the magazine that they had been scooped by a UFO. The Cosmic Voice reported, early in its history, that King's mother was often a passenger in the flying saucers from various planets, was once in a Martian spaceship when she was introduced to a Venusian whom she recognized as "our dear Jesus", who solemnly declared of one of George King's books, "this book is now and forever will be – Holy."

George King's titles
King is referred to by the society "as an author, inventor, metaphysician, occultist, prophet, psychic, spiritual healer, spiritual leader, teacher, yogi and Aquarian master". He was also lavished with innumerable titles, degrees, and honors from unorthodox sources. According to the society, the various honors were all given to King as a "token offer of gratitude" for his work. Rothstein observes that all of this hagiographical material is primarily aimed at believers who have special, 'esoteric' knowledge about King, whereas the society's communications during publicity campaigns are angled differently.

Accordingly, many of King's titles and awards stem from obscure sources. Barrett notes that amongst King's titles are listed a Knighthood in the Sovereign Military Orthodox Dynastic Imperial Constantinian Order of Saint Georges, which was from the Byzantine Royal House in exile, and was not recognized by the College of Arms in England, as the title "Sir" might imply. King received other chivalric titles and various degrees. Barrett states that neither the chivalric titles nor the degrees were recognized by any mainstream bodies.

The Aetherius Society usually refers to King as "Dr. George King". The society does not, however, document where King received his doctorate. Barrett states that King received his doctorate from the "International Theological Seminary of California, a degree mill with no accreditation". King is also referred to as Metropolitan Archbishop of the Aetherius Churches. His consecration as a bishop was from the Theosophy-related Liberal Catholic Church.

In 1991 King was "presented Letters Patent of Armorial Bearings also known as a Grant of Arms, by Bluemantle Pursuivant, a Herald of Her Majesty's College of Arms in England." A Grant of Arms is applied for; anyone can receive a Grant of Arms if they can satisfy one of several requirements.

According to one source, King's "proper title" was "His Eminence Sir George King, O.S.P., Ph.D., Th.D., D.D., Metropolitan Archbishop of the Aetherius Churches." The knighthood is not British but from "an unspecified foreign source." American radio personality Long John Nebel had King as a guest on his show and later wrote: " 'George King of England' – is what he calls himself, and you can't be sure whether he's pausing after 'George,' or after 'King,' but it doesn't really matter because after about three minutes you get the idea strong and clear."

The society claims that King was a chaplain of the American Federation of Police. The organization's full name is "American Federation of Police and Concerned Citizens". Anyone who is a concerned citizen appears to be able to become a member for $45. Charity Navigator gives this organization its lowest ranking (0 stars). Several police organizations have warned that solicitations by the American Federation of Police are possible scams. The site does not appear to have any official way to apply for a position as a chaplain and does not provide any list of official chaplains.

According to skeptic James Randi, George King's titles of 'Reverend', 'Doctor' and 'Sir' are unverified.

Thurso Bay

Thurso Bay, known also as Scrabster Bay, is a bay of Atlantic water between the points of Clairdon Head and Holborn Head on the north coast of Caithness, Scotland.

The bay receives fresh water from the River Thurso and the Wolf Burn. The river mouth is at the most southerly reach of the bay and at least two kilometres from the more northerly and more open waters of the Atlantic. The Atlantic here has Orkney to the northeast and the Pentland Firth and Dunnet Bay to the east. The points of Clairdon Head and Holborn Head are separated by four or five kilometres of water, which is also the bay's widest extent.

Within the bay, about three kilometres west/northwest of the river mouth, Scrabster harbour has deep water in the shelter of Holborn Head and berths a ferry which links mainland Scotland with Stromness in Orkney. Holborn Head Lighthouse is about one kilometre south of the headland's point and close to Scrabster Harbour.

The river mouth serves now as a small harbour and was a busy commercial port during the 19th century. Tidal water reaches inland about one kilometre beyond the river mouth and about twice the distance usually indicated on Ordnance Survey maps. Sandy beach and the burgh of Thurso front the bay west of the river mouth.

Wolf Burn enters the bay at Burnside, midway between the river mouth and Scrabster Harbour.

Zionism
"It's incredible, but it seems that an Israeli law forbids Jews to adopt non-Jewish children!" he exclaimed. "This apartheid measure must be denounced by the worldwide media, and the international community should apply pressure against Israel to protest this abjectly racist law so the Israeli government will cancel it."

Hi, your graph is very informative. thanks for that. I had two suggestions. first, could you please indicate the source a bit more clearly on the graph (I understand from the accompanying text that its B'TSelem, but putting that, with perhaps a link, in the caption will help. Second, the graph currently refers to Israeli civilians and Palestinians; once again if this could be made symmetrical with Israelis (not just civilians) and Palestinians that will help .. otherwise, I fear that we'll get into discussions on who is a civilian and who is not, all over again on the talk page.

both of these are just suggestions to make sure the graph stays and is not removed in future discussions. thanks again, Jacob2718 (talk) 20:21, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

 * commons:Category:2008-2009 Israel-Gaza conflict casualties

One doesn't normally add a category to the Wikipedia image page. It won't show up in the Commons categories, and that is the category system that matters for image files. People worldwide will find the image there in the Commons categories. --Timeshifter (talk) 06:09, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Eko Fresh

Ekrem Bora (born 3 September 1983), better known by his stage name Eko Fresh, is a German rapper of Turkish descent.

Biography
Bora was born in Cologne and grew up in Mönchengladbach, raised by his single mother, a postal worker. He began rapping at age 14 and eventually dropped out of school in tenth grade. Afterwards, he started working in a shoe store to make ends meet. While working his retail gig, Bora met Kool Savas, who agreed to produce his 2001 Royal Bunker debut EP, "Jetzt kommen wir auf die Sachen".

The German Stampede Wrestling, a professional wrestling promotion based in Cologne, featured Bora. He had wrestling matches in promotional events including Night in Motion X, Southern Conflict II, X-Limits, Battlefield 2008, and Northern Night since 2007.

Beginning in 2010, Eko Fresh began an extremely prolific run, releasing four new albums over a three year span. In 2013, he delivered the wildly successful Eksodus which topped the charts in Germany and reached the top ten in Austria and Switzerland as well.

Feuds with other rappers
In 2004, Eko Fresh started a feud with his song "Die Abrechnung", where he criticized his former mentors Kool Savas, Optik Records, Bushido and Aggro Berlin. The song was released on 23 December 2004 on Juice CD # 49 and is a diss track against various other rappers, including his former mentor Kool Savas. With the track billing in which he attacked Savas and Optik Records, he laid the foundation for the battle. Savas is suppressing his labelmates and MOR, Sava's former crew, would also have disintegrated for this reason, the statement said. The Berlin label Aggro and Bushido are also dissected in the track. However, he overdid it a little, which Sava's answer track quickly clarified the verdict. Many rappers replied to "Die Abrechnung", including Illmatic with "4Eko" and Fler with "Hollywoodtürke". Rappers from Optik Records also reacted: Caput with "Ich geb n fuck" and Ercandize with "Verdanken".

Discography
Eko Fresh has released 10 studio albums, two collaboration albums, three extended tracks, three compilation albums, 18 singles (including three singles as featured artist) and 45 free tracks.

Singles

I think the Italian name of the movement is wrong. Surely it should be L'Italia Giovane?

Why the neutrality of this article is disputed? --Panairjdde 12:21, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I objected to the florid tone in which the facts are described, rather than any nonfactual statements. E.g. "The Italian leaders and their people took up the call and began to rebel against their Austrian overlords."  On a second reading, it doesn't seem quite so non-NPOV as before, but it could stand some improvement. --Jim Henry 16:50, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

---

Wouldn't it be more accurate in the last sentence to say that international forces (chiefly French rather than Austrian and French) restored Pius IX by force rather than Pius's forces restoring papal government with what the article implies is peripheral international assistance? Louis Napoleon made much of his restoration of Pius in order to placate French conservatives and Catholics across Europe. Maidenoxforduni 09:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that there should be more information on this page about Youngh Italy

Ucheldre Centre

The Ucheldre Centre is an arts centre located in Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales.

Architecture
Formerly, it was the chapel building of Holyhead's Bon Sauveur order of nuns convent. The main hall of the Centre, with its imposing height and arched roof, was designed by Professor R M Butler, of Dublin, a leading architect of his day, responsible for many public buildings in Ireland. The building is in a modernized Romanesque style, with a tall square tower, making great use of green local stone. It was saved from demolition in 1988 by a group of local residents to be used in its current guise.

Community Centre
The Ucheldre Centre is a community effort to provide those who live in and visit Holyhead, and nearby parts of north-west Wales, with a centre for arts events, exhibitions, and other community activities of an educational and cultural kind. Before its inauguration, Holyhead had no venue for such events. As a performance space, it seats up to 200. Extensions have been added at the back and sides, to provide room for a gallery, restaurant, and other facilities. The grounds have been landscaped, and contain an amphitheatre for theatrical events, and sculptures by local artists. The main hall also doubles up as a cinema, showing mainstream and less well-known films, on the Centre's film nights.

Exhibitions and awards
The Centre has regular exhibitions that have included art by such artists as Kyffin Williams. It has also received the Prince of Wales Award, amongst other honours.

Mika Arisaka

Mika Arisaka (有坂美香) (born June 28, 1974 in Kamakura, Japan) is a Japanese-American singer. Due to her upbringing, she is bilingual and has performed in both English and (more commonly) Japanese. She attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. She is a member of Reggae Disco Rockers and has a solo career. She sang both the opening and ending theme songs of Infinite Ryvius, the ending theme for The Twelve Kingdoms and the ending theme songs of Phantasy Star Online 2, "Living on like stars" and "Crying Your Phantasy", from EPISODE 2 and EPISODE 6's normal ending, respectively. With her career taking off, more chances to showcase her singing finally came.

She is the vocalist for the second ending theme for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, "Life Goes On". This song was ranked top in Oricon daily single chart on first day of its release, and later ranked fourth in Oricon weekly single chart that same first week.

She was featured on Jazztronik's album called GRAND BLUE on the track "Sanctuary" that came out in June 2007 from Pony Canyon Records, Japan.

She also performed during the opening ceremony of Pride Shockwave 2006, a Mixed Martial Arts event. She led a gospel choir in a rendition of The Hymn of Joy.

Wikipedia:Peer review/The Cantos/archive1

The Cantos
The most complex, and longest, article I've worked on. I've done as much as I can with it and would welcome suggestions for improving. Filiocht 12:31, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I suggest you have a cup of tea or coffee and a sit down, anyway. Charles Matthews 12:56, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * It should be noted that Charles started this article, created the structure into which I poured content, and has corrected a number of my errors along the way. I have tea now and am sitting down. Filiocht 13:27, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * I am not knowledgeable about the subject so I might be a good one to help with observations that could help the article be more approachable for people in a similar situation. The intro still requires being fairly familiar with the subject in a few spots. What does "and the early Cantos as finally published date from 1922 onwards." mean? That seems to imply Canto is a thing we should know what it is. Also this could use some copyediting: "It is of a piece with Pound's prose writing". What does that mean? I tried copyediting the formidable sentence to make it easier to read, but I'm not sure I helped. That sentence and some others in the intro, if made simpler to parse, would help make the intro more accessible. I'm not really qualified to comment on the rest of it, but it looks well researched and FAC worthy to me. - Taxman 19:36, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * This article is so complete it should be on the main page rather than here. Wikipedia should feel privileged to have such a detailed and succinct analysis of this important work. Giano 21:30, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Magnificent, Filiocht, fascinating to read. A real showpiece for Wikipedia. Rather a difficult subject to illustrate, therefore I'm struck by the perspective added by the images, and especially the captions with their quotes and counterpoints. But of course you're aware that it could become a test case for article length on WP:FAC, at 80 kb? Still, only one person objected seriously to the length of History of Russia recently, which was then 66 kb, and it must surely be clear to everybody that subdivision of an article on one literary work would take a lot more violence than of the History of a nation, which does have a number of seams that could be unpicked. And that subdividing *this* article in particular would be wanton destruction. I believe people will see that.
 * I note it is 121 on Special:Longpages. My own view is that the article should be kept whole, and if that means it cannot be an FA, so be it. It is better to have the best possible article than to meet the FA technical requirements, and comprehensiveness and factual accuracy are the things that really matter, IMHO. Filiocht 11:20, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Trying to figger something constructively critical to say. OK, how about a Wikiquote Cantos page? With some longer quotes than in the captions. With a vulgarly obvious choice like famous bits from the Pisan Cantos?
 * Copyright problems? Filiocht 11:20, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair use? Note especially the weight given to length of quote in relation to the whole work, and how that would work in your favour. If you were to type quotes all day for a week, you probably still wouldn't have one millionth of the whole work. (Whereas if you were six monkeys you might have the whole.) Bishonen | Talk 18:58, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * There doesn't seem to be a lot about criticism in the article. The section "Controversy" gives a bit the impression that *all* criticism of Pound was one of two things: either condemnation for his politics and antisemitism, or defence against these charges, of the "Yes, but" type. I understand how this would dominate, especially in the U.S., but hasn't there been any other kind of critical engagement with the Cantos? How about Kenner? Any academics writing dissertations today? Bishonen | Talk 23:53, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Wow, this is one of the most comprehensive wikipedia articles I've seen. I'm trying to figure out something constructive to say too, how about a table of contents with links to different chapters of the article?Dinopup 05:20, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks to one and all for the improvements. The hope is that between this and List of cultural references in The Cantos (as it grows), Wikipedia will have the best available online introduction to this important literary monument. Filiocht 08:52, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * A fascinating article, which merits its length. I have rearranged the first paragraph to ease comprehension (as I see it).  I feel rather proud to have been able to contribute to something so remarkable. --Theo  (Talk) 23:59, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * What does "It is of a piece with Pound's prose writing, in that his major themes on economics, governance and culture are integral to its content." mean? - Ta bu shi da yu 03:13, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * As you are the second person to ask this, of a piece with is, for this writer at least, a perfectly ordinary English phrase meaning (to quote the American Heritage dictionary) Belonging to the same class or kind; in other words, his poetry and prose are continuations of each other, reading one will help make sense of each other, because the same themes and concerns run accros both. Filiocht 08:38, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * I just want to say that I am deeply impressed. This is excellent, wonderful, magnificent, and fascinating.  — mark ✎ 12:50, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I've now posted this article on WP:FAC. Filiocht 11:19, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
