Talk:Fields of the Nephilim

Untitled
I feel it should be added somewhere that the original guitarist was Frankie King(James Murchie) and the original drummer was Dr Andrew... they both left the band after recording the first album, which is very rare, but andrew is on the cover, his face smeered with white paint, which looks like its dripping from his nose, but thats just his nose. They're great guys and thier valuble contribution should be put in here some where as they both greatky influenced the sound of the band. And James Murchie wrote a good few of the songs on that first album, the name of which I have forgotten. But trust me, I played with them, and know them well. They both now live in South Africa. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.191.136.2 (talk) 16:44, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmm. Never heard of these two before.  Need more attestation than an unsigned "trust me"!  Anyone got any proof? Glyn.r.evans (talk) 23:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Never heard of these two people. Also, I'm sure their first album (Burning the Fields EP) never had a cover as described. Must be talking about some other band. The27thmaine (talk) 23:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Minsden Chapel?
This page says that Fields of the Nephilim were photographed at Minsden Chapel. Is this correct? Does anyone have any more information (eg. was it for a promotional photo-shoot, an album cover, a video or what?) --David Edgar 15:26, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Here is a picture of FOTN at Minsden:

There are a few statements in the article which I'm sure are true but would benefit from citations to back them up: I've flagged them for the moment, as I'm sure there are plenty of Neph heads out there who know their way around all the interviews and can put their fingers on the relevent quotes quicker than I can. I also note that the pages for Earth Inferno, Visionary Heads, and Revelations don't exist yet: anybody...? Dom Kaos (talk) 20:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Eager Anticipation
And so this page shows up on my watch list nearly every day, with this "eagerly anticipated" edit war. Enough! I eagerly await this cd just as much as User:Beans666beans/User:Wander04/217.40.242.10, but User:Tommytomato is right about it being conjecture/POV. Time should be better spent at improving the article as a whole, so we can lose the 'inline citations' tag. The27thMaine (talk) 01:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

In Response to this:

We, as the band, do not see what the problem is with writing that the album is eagerly anticipated. It is purely a harmless emphasis on the debut album. The problem is that the small part that The Eden House do have written on Wikipedia has been getting changed constantly as someone also once wrote on The Eden House bit that the band has so far received a "muted response", which you can agree was unnecessary as it is most certainly untrue. User:Tommytomato please leave our paragraph alone. We agree that it is petty to have to constantly change it but we want to continue updating our part, Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beans666beans (talk • contribs) 19:07, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

The Eden House
Come on, somebody must fancy having a go at creating a page for the band...? Dom Kaos (talk) 15:31, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Actual root of the word Nephilim
The guy got it wrong. Nephilim is made up of two hebrew roots - Nephalti and Elihim. Hence you get the contracted Nephilim. Nephalti means "to be accursed, fallen" while Elihim is "gods" in the lesser sense or angels. Therefore, the Nephilim refers to the fallen angels who mated with mortal women, and not their offspring... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.228.122 (talk) 11:12, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Genre
Mourning Sun: "The album may be seen as a synthesis of the melodic goth rock of Elizium and the aggressive death metal of Zoon."

Absolutely correct. It's Gothic metal. All their new works are simply Gothic metal. The same with Last Rites and NFD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.134.2.224 (talk) 23:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Zoon?
Should Zoon really be listed as an FoTN album? (Albert Mond (talk) 07:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC))

Zoon
Zoon was released in 1996 and not in 1997 as mentioned in the discography section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.19.202.70 (talk) 13:19, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Recent times
The section Mourning Sun and beyond (2005–) is mired down in excessive detail - it looks as if it's been copied verbatim from McCoy's filofax. I'm sure we don't need to know every single date - does anyone have any objection to me editing it down? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:21, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No objections, so I've been bold ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 20:11, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I think it should be revised. For instance: "In May 2007, McCoy performed as Fields of the Nephilim for the first time since 1991,". This is clearly not true as they among other places played at Roskilde in 2000 as Fields of the Nephilim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.56.199.148 (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well spotted! I've now corrected that info ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Gary Whisker
According to the page for Earth Inferno, Whisker played sax at the gigs. I can't make out any sax on the album, and he officially left the band five years before this. The CD's liner notes don't have a personnel list, but I'd be very surprised if he was involved. I was at a couple of gigs on that tour, and I don't remember seeing a sax player on stage (but then, with that amount of dry ice, you could've hidden an entire chamber orchestra quite easily). Does anyone have any evidence either way? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Years Active
The infobox seems to lack the years active section. --Milosppf (talk) 18:34, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Edits reverts
Hello! Not to cause a fuss, but to editor 212.183.128.131, in the future when you revert changes, please leave a note in the edit description or the topic talk page explaining your rationale. Otherwise it's a tad rude and confusing ;) I reverted your reverts as I'm not sure why you did them, though I'd be happy to hear an explanation so we can come to a consensus. Thanks, 86.141.70.107 (talk) 14:42, 29 June 2013 (UTC)  (oh, to write back, remember to type four tildes at the end so we know it's you.)

Discography
Burning the Fields was released in 1985 and not 1987 as stated in the table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.222.173.183 (talk) 07:36, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * That table is for singles that charted. The EP was re-released in 1987 and reached the UK Indie chart then. Not in 1985. Karst (talk) 07:52, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Eurith D. Rivers

Eurith Dickinson Rivers (December 1, 1895 – June 11, 1967), commonly known as E. D. Rivers and informally as "Ed" Rivers, was an American politician from Lanier County, Georgia. A Democrat, he was the 68th Governor of Georgia, serving from 1937 to 1941.

Early life and education
Eurith Dickinson Rivers was born on December 1, 1895, in Center Point, Arkansas. He attended Young Harris College in North Georgia and settled in Cairo in South Georgia. Rivers also obtained a law degree through La Salle Extension University. Rivers served as a Justice of the Peace, Cairo City Attorney, and Grady County Attorney. He later moved to another South Georgia community, Milltown (now called Lakeland), to become editor of the Lanier County News.

Career
Rivers was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1924 and to the Georgia State Senate in 1926. During this time, he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. In 1928 and 1930, Rivers was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor. In 1932, he ran for the Georgia House of Representatives. He was elected Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, serving from 1933 to 1937.

In 1930, Rivers, a Great Titan of the Klan, spoke in front of a crowd in Clarke County, Georgia lamenting of an "alien invasion" attempting to "take away the freedom of government from the masses." The reference was made towards chain stores, which the Ku Klux Klan opposed.

His election as governor came after a stormy Democratic primary in 1936 in which the race served as a surrogate referendum on US President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Since Georgia did not allow three consecutive terms, Governor Eugene Talmadge was not eligible for re-election. Talmadge, who strongly opposed the New Deal and had delayed its implementation in Georgia, ran for the US Senate and backed Charles D. Redwine for governor. Rivers, who, as Speaker, had strongly supported the New Deal, was his opponent and won with about 60 percent of the vote, the same margin by which Talmadge lost his Senate race.

Rivers' first two-year term as governor saw Georgia pass the legislation required to bring New Deal programs into the state, and was widely acclaimed. Rivers created the 7-month school year. Under Rivers' leadership, electrical services were expanded to rural areas of the state. Georgia moved from the lowest-ranked state to the top of the list in the number of rural electrification associations. When he was in office, the State Bureau of Unemployment Compensation was created, allowing Georgians to receive unemployment benefits.

Upon his election, Rivers named Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard Hiram Wesley Evans as a member of his staff.

When Arthur Perry and Arthur Mack, two black men, faced rushed death sentences by an all-white jury for alleged murder, attorney and future Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall requested Rivers to grant due process to the defendants. Rivers issued a cold reply: "Prison commission has no record of matter you mentioned in your wire of yesterday."

In 1938, rumors circulated that Franklin D. Roosevelt would endorse Rivers for United States Senate to oppose Walter F. George, who had opposed the president's Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, commonly known as the court-packing plan. Roosevelt's advisers warned him of Rivers' KKK connections, and the Georgia governor opted for re-election instead of seeking the Senate seat.

After Rivers' re-election in 1938, he ran into problems financing many of his improvement programs. Although the budget was reduced by 25 percent, he was able to convince the legislature to create the Georgia Housing Authority and obtain federal funds to build public housing. During Rivers' second term, there were political scandals and charges of corruption. Many of Rivers' appointees and staff members were charged with corrupt practices, and the charges reflected poorly on the governor.

In 1939, Rivers proclaimed a state holiday for the December premiere of the film Gone With the Wind.

Rivers sought the governorship again in 1946 but finished a distant third behind Eugene Talmadge and James V. Carmichael in the Democratic primary.

Later life and death
Rivers was never again elected to public office. He became a successful radio station owner. Rivers retired to Miami-Dade County, Florida, after putting WEDR Radio on the air in Miami. He died in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1967 and is interred in a mausoleum in the City Cemetery in Lakeland, Georgia.

Rivers is the most recent Georgia governor to have been born outside the state.

1951–52 NHL season

The 1951–52 NHL season was the 35th season of the National Hockey League. The Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup by sweeping the Montreal Canadiens four games to none.

League business
A long-standing feud between Boston president Weston Adams and general manager Art Ross ended on October 12, 1951, when Adams sold his stock in Boston Garden to Walter Brown.

The Chicago Black Hawks, who had made the mammoth nine player deal the previous season, now decided to make the largest cash deal for players to this time by paying $75,000 for Jim McFadden, George Gee, Jimmy Peters, Clare Martin, Clare Raglan and Max McNab.

The NHL and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) agreed to a January 15 deadline for professional teams to call up players from the CAHA's Major Series of senior ice hockey. The agreement gave the NHL a source of emergency replacement players, and prevented teams in Canada from losing players during the Alexander Cup playoffs.

Rule changes
The league mandated that home teams would now wear a basic white uniform, while road teams will wear coloured uniforms. Before then, teams would often play with colored jerseys against each other, and with Television being in black white at the time, this helped viewers at home identify the two teams clearly.

The goal crease is enlarged from 3 x to 4 x. The faceoff circles are expanded from a 10 ft radius to a 15 ft radius.

Regular season
Conn Smythe offered $10,000 for anyone who found Bill Barilko, missing since August 26. Barilko and Dr. Henry Hudson had left Rupert House on James Bay in the doctor's light plane for Timmins, Ontario, after a weekend fishing trip and had not been found.

For the fourth straight season, the Detroit Red Wings finished first overall in the National Hockey League.

Highlights
On November 25 in Chicago, Chicago goalie Harry Lumley hurt a knee. At age 46, trainer Moe Roberts, who played his first game in the NHL for Boston in 1925–26, played the third period in goal for Chicago and did not yield a goal. Roberts would stand as the oldest person to ever play an NHL game until Gordie Howe returned to the NHL at age 51 in 1979.

Chicago was not drawing well and so they decided to experiment with afternoon games. It worked, as the largest crowd of the season, 13,600 fans, showed up for a January 20 game in which Chicago lost to Toronto 3–1.

Elmer Lach night was held March 8 at the Forum in Montreal as the Canadiens tied Chicago 4–4. 14,452 fans were on hand to see Lach presented with a car, rowboat, TV set, deep-freeze chest, bedroom and dining room suites, a refrigerator and many other articles.

On the last night of the season, March 23, 1952, with nothing at stake at Madison Square Garden, 3,254 fans saw Chicago's Bill Mosienko score the fastest hat trick in NHL history, 3 goals in 21 seconds. Lorne Anderson was the goaltender who gave up the goals to Chicago. Gus Bodnar also set a record with the fastest three assists in NHL history as he assisted on all three goals Mosienko scored. Chicago beat the New York Rangers 7–6.

Playoffs
Detroit finished 8–0, sweeping the defending Stanley Cup champions Toronto (the first time in NHL history the cup champs were swept in the first round) and Montreal, the first time a team had gone undefeated in the playoffs since the 1934–35 Montreal Maroons. The Wings scored 24 goals in the playoffs, compared to a combined five goals for their opponents. Detroit goaltender Terry Sawchuk never allowed a goal on home ice during the playoffs.

Royal North Shore Hospital

The Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) is a major public teaching hospital in Sydney, Australia, located in the suburb of St Leonards. It serves as a teaching hospital for Sydney Medical School at the University of Sydney, University of Technology Sydney and Australian Catholic University and has over 600 beds.

RNSH is the principal tertiary referral hospital for the Northern Sydney Local Health District. It is also a major Trauma Centre which provides specialised services in the areas of severe burns, neonatal intensive care, spinal cord injury and interventional radiology. The Kolling Institute of Medical Research is a health and medical research centre with a focus on research training. Its primary referral area accommodates 5.7% of the Australian population or 17% of the NSW population.

RNSH was ranked as the third best hospital in Australia, based on the Newsweek 2023 World's Best Hospitals list.

Foundation
The RNSH began as a cottage hospital located in Willoughby Road, Crows Nest. The foundation stone was laid by Sir Henry Parkes, 18 June 1887. The hospital was opened with accommodation for fourteen patients, with the requisite office and rooms for the medical and nursing staff. Medical staff numbered four honorary doctors and nursing staff numbered five. The site of the original hospital was bounded by Willoughby Road, Albany and Holterman Streets and Zig Zag Lane. The old site is now a busy part of the commercial centre of Crows Nest. In 1902, it opened on its current site at St Leonards, with 48 beds available for patients. New departments and wards were added over the next fifty years.

Between 1935 and 1940, polio treatment pioneer Sister Kenny travelled extensively throughout Australia helping to set up clinics. In the mid-thirties, she set up one of her pioneering clinics at RNSH. In 1940, the New South Wales government sent Kenny to America to present her clinical method for treating polio victims to American doctors. Doctors in Minnesota were impressed with her work and convinced her to stay. Her treatments, which revolutionised the care of polio, caused as much controversy in the United States, as they had in Australia.

Royal North Shore became a teaching hospital of the University of Sydney in 1947.

Minnie May Gates MBE served on the hospital's board throughout the 1940s and 1950s (as her father and grandfather had done). She campaigned to improve the hospital's child care. She stood down in 1960, the year that the Minnie Gates Playground was opened in the grounds.

Redevelopment
In 2008, new facilities were procured under a Public Private Partnerships (PPP) contract. The selected bidder, Infra Shore, includes ABN AMRO, construction company Thiess and service providers Thiess Services, ISS Facility Services and Wilson Parking. The works were carried out by Thiess and completed in 2011.

Current services
Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) is a major teaching hospital located in the Northern Sydney Local Health District. There are currently 5,000 staff working at RNSH. It provides local health services to five local government areas north of Sydney Harbour – Lane Cove, Mosman, North Sydney and Willoughby and Ryde — and caters for more than 1,110,600 people, which equates to 1 out of every 20 Australians, and 1 in 5 people living in NSW population.

RNSH has statewide responsibilities in the provision of healthcare. It is one-of-seven major trauma centres in NSW and is the only trauma centre capable of providing care for major burns, spinal injuries, and serious injuries during pregnancy. The RNSH emergency and trauma services are complemented by comprehensive intensive care and diagnostic clinical support services. RNSH is also a major referral and tertiary hospital for the area extending north of Sydney Harbour, up to the southern shore of Lake Macquarie, and west to Wiseman's Ferry.

As a major teaching hospital, RNSH has acted as an education facility for University of Sydney undergraduate medical students for more than 60 years and acts as the main headquarters for the program's Northern Clinical School. The hospital's teaching program involves students of allied health and nursing students from University of Technology, Sydney. RNSH also provides facilities and support for postgraduate students, scientists and clinicians undertaking research programs in a variety of fields.

The RNSH campus comprises the Acute Services Building (opened in 2012), the Douglas Building and The Clinical Services Building (opened in December 2014). The overall area of the RNSH grounds is approximately 13 hectares, and 11.6 hectares in functional area. It is commonly known as the Royal North Shore Hospital Campus.

RNSH currently has a maximum capacity to hold 420 acute medical and surgical beds. Overall, including acute overnight and day-only beds, it has a total of 600 beds. In 2010, there were 56,354 presentations to the Emergency Department and, since the opening of the new Acute Services Building, increased presentations have occurred with 61,739 patients requiring assessment and treatment in 2012/13. Approximately 3,000 babies are born annually at RNSH.

Notable incidents
In 2005, 16-year-old Vanessa Anderson was hit by a golf ball. She died two days later in RNSH. The coroner found that "almost every conceivable omission had occurred in her treatment".

Following the case of patient Jana Horska, who suffered a miscarriage in the hospital's toilet as a result of lack of available beds and staff, the State Government established the Joint Select Committee on the Royal North Shore Hospital in the New South Wales Parliament on 23 October 2007, chaired by Christian Democrats leader Fred Nile MLC. The committee was formally established on 23 October 2007, and tabled its report on 20 December 2007. The report made 45 recommendations.

In early 2008, a Special Commission of Inquiry into Acute Care Services in NSW Public Hospitals was commissioned. This comprehensive and ground breaking commission became known as The Garling Report. It reported in November 2008. The NSW State Government responded in March 2009. It found a "prevalent" problem associated with the care of the deteriorating patient in NSW public hospitals. As a result, a statewide system of monitoring vital signs to detect deteriorating patients was introduced. This system includes red and yellow "Between the Flags" colour-coded observation charts for recording a person's vital signs, allowing for easy visual recognition of deterioration. Observation charts have been developed for Adult, Paediatric, Maternity and Emergency patients. By 2012 it had been implemented in every public hospital in NSW.

In August 2015, a patient of the outpatient diabetes clinic attended RNSH for a routine appointment at 9:30 am. The patient failed to present to the clinical staff and was subsequently listed as a "no-show" to his appointment. His spouse later, concerned that her partner had not returned from his appointment, contacted RNSH and advised staff that her partner did not attend his scheduled appointment. It was not until 6:30 am the following day that a cleaner located the man in a public toilet within the hospital premises. It was found that the patient suffered a stroke.

In August 2016, RNSH came under fire when it was revealed that doctors at the hospital were issuing restricted antibiotics to tens of thousands of patients, without seeking approval. Northern Sydney Local Health District's system through which approval to prescribe the powerful antibiotics is sought, called eASY, had not been used to generate any of these prescriptions. Use of the eASY system, designed to combat the spread of superbugs, had fallen to just 35% in May 2016.

A foetus was incorrectly cremated in an incident in August 2015 that resulted in the parents being unable to bury their child as per their wishes. The admission came after state budget estimates exposed a separate body swap at RNSH, in which the daughter of a deceased patient found that staff had incorrectly tagged her remains.

Creance

A creance is a long, light cord used to tether a flying hawk or falcon during training in falconry. It is used when the bird is young, or when the bird has been taken out of the aviary for a moult or other reasons.

The creance itself is thin, designed to be of as little inconvenience to the bird as possible. It is threaded through the swivel and tied with a falconer's knot. The creance typically extends to around 25 m (82 ft), at which point the bird should be ready to fly free (without the use of the creance).

How can one possibly know that sports cliches are used in 50 percent of corporate boardrooms? Who did such a survey? Answer: nobody. That claim is complete conjecture and should be removed.Meteor49 (talk) 07:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Grantb

I'm grant, I live in South Florida, and I've been called an obscurantist by those close to me.

My interests include religious mysticism, metaphysics, tabloid culture, Everglades ecology, home recording, indie pop, Asian culture, surfing, vintage fashion, pulp literature, comic books, international adoption, outsider art, entheogenic research, cooking with garlic, marine biology, horror films (watching, criticizing, and making), sailing small boats and fringe science.

It seems like the first edits I made here using this name were to the Saoshyant article in 2005. I must've been writing about Zoroastrian prophecies at the time. (I'm sure I was editing Wikipedia articles before then, but not logging in to do so. It was a different time, you know, and names weren't as important.)

I edit for a living. Currently, for a group of travel publications; in years past, for the Sun tabloid -- the national paper that got the anthrax and had cover stories about Nostradamus and the End Times. Judging from IP records, there seemed to be other Wikipedia contributors elsewhere in the AMI newsroom (we all shared an address).

The first step is admitting you have a problem: I have a thing for online communications media. It was Merlin Mann's Pantywad that made me a wiki junkie, and Tom Coates' Barbelith that made it worse, back in the day. Subsequent to that, I was a trustee and co-founder of Liminal Nation, a community dedicated to rational discussion of spirituality, magic and other less- or more-than-rational topics.

I still operate the science-meets-music organization http://guildofscientifictroubadours.com/, and sometimes collect and collate ideas at http://grantimatter.tumblr.com.

I'm not especially fond of badges.

International response to Hurricane Katrina

Many countries and international organizations offered the United States relief aid in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

According to the European Commission, six days after the disaster, on September 4, 2005, the United States officially asked the European Union for emergency help, asking for blankets, emergency medical kits, water and 500,000 food rations for victims. Help proposed by EU member states was coordinated through their crisis center. The British presidency of the EU functioned as contact with the U.S.

Other countries not on this list also offered aid, but the State Department mentioned that they (the State Department) had not been asked. Later, the U.S. State Department said all offers were being examined.

Pledges and donations from countries
Below is a list of countries who offered aid. Some of these efforts were not formally accepted by the U.S. government (see "Actual Funds Used" below). In late August 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the southeastern portion of the contiguous United States, causing severe damage and destruction in several U.S. states and killing more than a thousand people.

 * 🇦🇫 Afghanistan: Donated US$100000 to the hurricane victims.
 * 🇦🇱 Albania: Pledged 240000 EUR (approximately NaN)
 * 🇦🇷 Argentina: Made offers of help and assistance. Argentina also dispatched an elite team of bilingual mental health professionals.
 * 🇦🇲 Armenia: Pledged US$200000 and made offers of help and assistance.
 * 🇦🇺 Australia: A$10 million (approximately US$7.6 million)
 * 🇦🇹 Austria: 140 specialists of the AFDRU were put on stand-by. Their focus was to have been on providing clean water with portable water-treatment plants. Within the EU Emergency Assistance for Katrina, Austria set up a communication network using IT and communication equipment for assistance/support, provided 10 sets petrol driven dirty water pumps, 500 pieces tarps/plastic sheeting and 300 camp beds.
 * 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan: Donated US$500,000.
 * The Bahamas: Pledged $50,000.
 * 🇧🇭 Bahrain: Donated $5 million.
 * 🇧🇩 Bangladesh: Donated $ and offered rescuers.
 * 🇧🇾 Belarus: Offered medical assistance
 * 🇧🇪 Belgium: Offered 3 medical teams of 31 personnel, logistic team of 10 personnel, coordination team of 4 personnel, civil engineering team of 10 personnel, diving team, and also balloon-lamps, low and high capacity pumps and small generators.
 * Brunei: Donated $1 million.
 * 🇰🇭 Cambodia: The king donated $20,000 to match the $20,000 Cambodian government donation.
 * 🇨🇦 Canada:

On September 5, 35 military divers were poised to depart by air Sunday from Halifax and Esquimalt, B.C., for the New Orleans area. September 4, on the request from US Department of Health and Human Services, Canada sent thousands of beds, blankets, surgical gloves and dressings and other medical supplies. On September 2, the Government of Canada announced it was sending three warships along with a Coast Guard vessel, and three Sea King helicopters to the area. Over 1,000 personnel were involved in the operation, including engineers and navy divers. The Canadian Heavy Urban Search and Rescue out of Vancouver was in Louisiana from September 1, due to security they started their mission on Sept 3. Ontario Hydro, Hydro-Québec, and Manitoba Hydro, along with other electrical utilities, had crews set to go to the affected areas. On September 2, Air Canada participated along with U.S. member airlines of the Air Transport Association, in a voluntary airline industry initiative to support rescue and relief operations. Financial donations were substantial, with the province of Alberta alone contributed CA$5 million. Although it is hard to put an exact number on Canadian cash donations because of some Canadians donating directly to the American agencies, Canada is widely believed to be the highest international donor nation, and with Mexico was one of the two countries in the world to supply direct military assistance in addition to civilian donations and supplies as the U.S. government declined direct military support from all other nations.

 * People's Republic of China: On September 2, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it will offer $5 million along with emergency supplies, including 1,000 tents, 600 generators, bed sheets, immediately for disaster relief. China also offered to send medical care and rescue workers if they were needed. This aid package consisting of 104 tons of supplies later arrived in Little Rock, Arkansas. A chartered plane carrying the supplies arrived on September 7.
 * Republic of China: Pledged more than $3 million to the relief effort, plus supplies.
 * 🇨🇴 Colombia: Made offers of help and assistance.
 * 🇨🇺 Cuba: One of the first countries to offer aid, Cuba offered to send 1,586 doctors and 26 tons of medicine. This aid was rejected by the State Department. Also, before the 2006 World Baseball Classic, Cuba said they would donate their share of the winnings to Katrina victims to ensure the United States embargo against Cuba was not violated. However, after the tournament, the U.S. government refused to allow the donation.
 * 🇨🇾 Cyprus: Offered $50,000.
 * 🇨🇿 Czech Republic: Offered rescue teams, field hospitals and pumps and water processing equipment.

Nokia donated $1 million to the U.S. Red Cross and matched employee contributions at 100 percent.   Mobile phones were donated to shelters in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
 * Additionally Finland offered 300 tents, a water purification unit, sterile gloves, bed sheets, pillow covers, tarps and first aid kits.
 * 🇫🇷 France: Concrete help was initially refused by the U.S. government; however, on September 2, Condoleezza Rice said that the U.S. authorities would assess the situation and contact French authorities accordingly. On September 4, U.S. authorities formally requested French assistance. France offered disaster relief stocks prepositioned in Martinique (600 tents, around 1000 beds, 60 generators, 30 pumps, 3 water purification stations, 1000 folding jerricans and other material). A 35-person team of the Sécurité Civile (Civil Defence) from Guadeloupe and Martinique were made ready, and a 60-man "catastrophe intervention" aeromobile detachment were prepared to be ferried from mainland in a short time. The Ministry of Defence offered 2 planes already in the zone and 6 more from mainland France, and two ships of the French Navy (probably the BATRAL Francis Garnier or Champlain, and the frigate Ventôse) and a 20-person team of emergency medical specialists. The non-governmental organisation Télécoms Sans Frontières and the company Véolia Environnement offered aid in communications and water management respectively. On September 7, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs stated that an Airbus Beluga from Toulouse with 12.7 tonnes of supplies flew to Mobile, Alabama, after a brief stop in the U.K. to load more food.

The aid was ready to go on German air force and chartered planes. A team of specialists from THW (German federal agency for technical relief) were planning technical measures and logistics in close contact with local authorities. A team of 89 flood fighting specialists and 5 medical personnel were dispatched from Ramstein Air Base to Louisiana by the United States Air Force. They brought 15 high performance pumps (10 pumps with a capacity of 15,000 litres per minute and 5 pumps with a capacity of 5,000 litres per minute) and 28 vehicles. On Saturday, September 10 at 4:30 PM, the THW started the first 15,000 litre pump at pumping-station No. 19. Three other 15,000 litres pumps followed. The drainage of New Orleans would have taken much more time if these pumps and the THW specialists had not been provided.
 * The Minister-President of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate addressed a letter to the commanders of the American forces stationed in his state offering financial support to those affected by the flooding.
 * Another German Air Force cargo plane carrying several thousand military rations (MRE) was denied entry into U.S. airspace since, according to U.S. authorities, they were not certified BSE-free. This was disputed by German authorities, pointing out that they were BSE-free according to NATO rules, that U.S. soldiers would eat them regularly during joint operations (e.g. Afghanistan) and that these meals fully complied to U.N. rules.

The Irish government also announced it is to provide initial funding of EUR 1.2 million for the victims.
 * 🇮🇱 Israel: Offered field hospitals and hundreds of doctors, nurses, technicians and other experts in trauma, natural disasters and public health.

Actual funds used
An article in the April 29, 2007 Washington Post claimed that of the $854 million offered by foreign countries, whom the article dubs "allies," to the US Government, only $40 million of the funds had been spent "for disaster victims or reconstruction" as of the date of publication (less than 5%).

Additionally, a large portion of the $854 million in aid offered went uncollected, including over $400 million in oil (almost 50%).

I maintain that, despite the newfound puritanism sweeping America, that pornographic actors and actresses are notable enough to merit Wikipedia articles. Therefore, I am trying to standardize articles about them and make them generally a little more encyclopedic.

The inherent problem in this is that the adult entertainment industry is built upon lies, or at least upon a deliberate disengagement from reality. If it adds to a starlet's drawing power, any of the basic facts of her life can easily be re-engineered to fit the image. The most common statistics to alter are birth dates, birthplaces, and measurements. Naturally, many porn stars are also eager to conceal their "normal" identities. Compounding this difficulty is the fact that the main tools of research available (i.e. Google searches and the like) primarily turn up "bio" pages that routinely contradict each other. In short, unless a porn star has been extraordinarily forthcoming about his or her life, any article about him or her is going to consist of best guesses and half-truths. Trying to establish fact about a porn star is next to hopeless, but that's what I'm trying to do.

I confess that I do not have a good grasp on Wikimedia's policy of licensing for images, and therefore try to avoid uploading pictures. If you understand the nuances, please feel free to add pictures to any of the articles. (I have been told that DVD covers are usually acceptable as long as they do not contain explicit images.)

Yes, I am a one-trick pony. Almost all the edits I make will be about pornographic movies, their stars, or have at least some sexual aspect (glory hole, CFNM/CMNF, etc).

Please leave a comment on my talk page if you agree with something I've said, disagree, or even bothered to read this.

Vivid Girls
My current mini-project is to make sure that all current and past Vivid Girls are placed in the Category:Vivid Girls. Italicized entries in the following list are correctly categorized. I will (eventually) make articles for any actresses on the list without one.

(the following text was taken from an article on avninsider.com) Vivid Entertainment Group is celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2004.

Population Services International

Population Services International (PSI) is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit global health organization that began as an international not-for-profit provider of contraception and safe abortion services, and has evolved into developing and deploying programs today that target malaria, child survival, HIV, and reproductive health. PSI provides products, clinical services and behavior change communications for the health of people in high-need populations.

History
PSI was founded in 1970 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, by the American entrepreneur, philanthropist and libertarian Phil Harvey, Dr. Tim Black, a British physician with experience in the United Kingdom, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and New Guinea (now, Papua New Guinea), and Black’s wife, Jean.

In 1969, Harvey and Tim Black met while working towards Master's degrees in family planning and population dynamics at the University of North Carolina. While still graduate students, they and Jean Black co-founded a retail and mail-order business called Adam and Eve, selling condoms and sex aids in the United States and internationally in order to use the profits to finance family-planning programs in developing countries. Upon completion of their degrees, they co-founded PSI as a charitable not-for-profit organization, using revenue from Adam and Eve to fund the organization.

Harvey and Tim and Jean Black were the original directors of PSI, with Harvey serving as executive director from 1970 to 1977. Harvey remained on the PSI Board until 2003. While serving as PSI directors, Tim and Jean Black moved to Kenya from 1970-74 to set up a PSI-run Contraceptive Social Marketing pilot program, which with support from USAID and other agencies would later be expanded to other African countries.

In 1971, the PSI Board was expanded through the addition of Dr. Geoffrey Davis, an Australian physician affiliated with the International Abortion Research and Training Centre in London. In the 1960s, Davis operated two clinics in the Sydney suburbs of Potts Point and Arncliffe, where he carried out discreet pregnancy terminations until the 1971 legalization in New South Wales of abortion in cases where pregnancy puts a woman's life or physical or mental health at risk.

In 1974, PSI began experiencing significant international growth, with Davis being named Project Director for PSI Southeast Asia and Oceania, incorporated as Population Services International (Australasia) Ltd, with headquarters in Davis’s Potts Point clinic offices. Davis held that position for a decade, when he became Director of PSI Australia, from 1984 until his retirement in 1988.

Also in 1974, Tim and Jean Black, newly returned from Kenya to London, set up a European branch of PSI called Population Services Family Planning Programme Ltd, which by 1976 had taken over the bankrupt Marie Stopes Foundation, renaming it as Marie Stopes International (now MSI Reproductive Choices). Marie Stopes International/MSI Reproductive Services directors included PSI founder Tim Black until 2014 and Phil Harvey until 2021.

Programs
Today, PSI's world headquarters are in Washington, D.C., and its European offices are in Amsterdam. The organization employs more than 250 U.S. staff, more than 150 overseas expatriate staff and 8,000 local PSI affiliate staff. Major donors include the governments of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands; the Global Fund, United Nations agencies, private foundations, corporations and individuals.

It is a member of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, a Washington, D.C.-based coalition of over 400 major companies and NGOs that advocates for a larger International Affairs Budget, which funds American diplomatic and development efforts abroad.

Celebrity ambassadors
PSI works with celebrity ambassadors to raise awareness about the organization's work. Ambassadors have joined PSI staff on international trips to gain a better understanding of PSI's work, testified before Congress to promote increased funding of global health programs, and taken part in many conferences and forums to enhance PSI's visibility. As of 2017, PSI has three celebrity ambassadors: Ashley Judd, Mandy Moore, and Debra Messing.

External reviews
PSI is one of a select group of charities endorsed by noted philosopher and Princeton Professor Peter Singer as Highly Effective in the fight against extreme poverty.

Charity evaluator GiveWell first reviewed PSI in 2007, again in 2009 and then again in 2011. Initially, GiveWell recommended PSI as one of its top charities. However, in its most recent review, GiveWell states that "The evidence we have seen does not clearly show that PSI has the impact it intends" while at the same time praising PSI for "(a) focusing on programs with proven impact and (b) monitoring whether these programs are implemented effectively."

In 2007 and 2008 PSI was highlighted by Fast Company as a Top Social Capitalist, noting the organization's private sector partnerships with Procter & Gamble and others.

Talk:Lagan College

Untitled
I was suprised to see this article so barren http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/csc/reports/fraser99.htm was one link I spotted with some nice background to Lagan College's founding. I am going to hunt on the net for more information.

Integrated education
Currently both wikipedia articles for Integrated Education and Lagan College state that Lagan was the first integrated school in N. Ireland. If Holywood Rudolf Steiner School is the first then these articles need to be updated. Perhaps Lagan is the first state run integrated school.--Design 12:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
