Deuteronomy 7:5 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express gratitude to my advisors and graduate committee members, particularly Miles Richardson, who willingly took charge as my dissertation committee chair at the very last moment. I thankfully received funding for my travel and Ph.D. research from the West Grant at Louisiana State University. I could not have completed this project without the assistance, trust, patience, and kindness of several families and individuals from Northern Ireland, the names of whom have been changed in these chapters to protect their identities. They know who they are, and I hope they know how grateful I am for their help. Meg Streiff, Scott Hemmerling and Derek Thomas provided valuable assistance with editing, technical advice, mapping suggestions and emotional support. I would also like to thank John Stebbins for his photographic expertise, and his assistance with photo editing. My three daughters, Megan, Michelle, and Danielle deserve special thanks for all the patience they have shown me over the years. They willingly sacrificed the chance to have a “real mother”; They accepted a distracted, forgetful, and often out-of-the-country mother without (too much) complaint, and since the completion of this project they have informed me that they wouldn’t have had it any other way. Finally, I would like to give acknowledgement and thanks to Professor Carville V. Earle for the years of guidance and patience he has given me, page after page of editing he did for me, and for providing an example of outstanding scholarship. I sincerely regret that I did not finish this research project before Professor Earle’s death, as he so often told me I must do! Professor Earle worked diligently on this project with me without complaint or, I believe, regret, all while suffering from a terminal illness. I know that he would have enjoyed reading the finished project, and I wish that he had been able to see it come to fruition. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Flags for Nations of the United Kingdom
    Flags for Nations of the United Kingdom Proposal to include Emoji Flags for England, Scotland and Wales Jeremy Burge Emojipedia [email protected] Owen Williams BBC [email protected] Original document 2016­06­10 Last revised 2016­07­07 1 of 15 Introduction The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is comprised of four nations, which each ​ ​ have their own distinct and internationally recognised flags which are not currently available as emoji. Current flags are represented by region codes in CLDR, which are based on the ISO 3166­11 standard. If England, Scotland and Wales had their own ISO 3166­1 codes, they would already be represented. The flags of England, Scotland and Wales are in widespread use in many international contexts, and the flag for England is already available as an emoji within WhatsApp. We are requesting the addition of emoji flags for the nations of England, Scotland, and Wales. Notes 1. The flag of Northern Ireland currently holds no official status, and as such is not proposed for inclusion in this submission. 2. The terms "nation" and "country" are often used interchangeably to refer to England, Scotland and Wales. United Kingdom Summary The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is a sovereign state lying off the north­western coast of the European mainland. Comprised of two islands, Britain and the isle of Ireland (of which only the north­eastern part ­ Northern Ireland ­ is considered part of the UK). Four distinct nations make up the UK state; the largest is England, followed by Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

General outline of a conflict. 2. Approach, theory, level of analysis (providing framework). Providing the hypothesis 3. Major actors involved, definition of their priorities, preferences and interests. 4. Origins of the conflict (historical perspective), major actions timeline 5. Models of conflicts, explanations of its reasons 6. Proving the hypothesis 7. Conclusion Bibliography Introduction Northern Ireland conflict, called “the Troubles” was the most durable conflict in the Europe since WW2. Before War in Donbass (2014-present), which lead to 9,371 death up to June 3, 20161 it also can be called the bloodiest conflict, but unfortunately The Donbass War snatched from The Troubles “the victory palm” of this dreadful competition. The importance of this issue, however, is still essential and vital because of challenges Europe experience now. Both proxy war on Donbass and recent terrorist attacks had strained significantly the political atmosphere in Europe, showing that Europe is not safe anymore. In this conditions, it is necessary for us to try to assume, how far this insecurity and tensions might go and will the circumstances and the challenges of a international relations ignite the conflict in Northern Ireland again. It also makes sense for us to recognize that the Troubles was also a proxy war to a certain degree 23 Sources, used in this essay are mostly mass-media articles, human rights observers’ and international organizations reports, and surveys made by political scientists on this issue.

The Project title; ‘Terrorism knows NO Borders’ aptly illustrates the broader point that we are seeking to make through our involvement in this work, namely that in the context of Northern Ireland terrorism and criminal violence was not curtailed to Northern Ireland alone but rather that individuals, families and communities experienced its’ impacts across the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and beyond these islands. This Memorial Quilt Project does not claim to represent the totality of lives lost across Great Britain and The Republic of Ireland but rather seeks to provide some understanding of the sacrifices paid by communities, families and individuals who have been victimised by ‘Republican’ or ‘Loyalist’ terrorism. SEFF’s ethos means that we are not purely concerned with victims/survivors who live within south Fermanagh or indeed the broader County.

  • FLAG of IRELAND - a BRIEF HISTORY Where in the World
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers FLAG OF IRELAND - A BRIEF HISTORY Where In The World Trivia The Easter Rising Rebels originally adopted the modern green-white-orange tricolour flag.

  • The Orange Order in Ontario, Newfoundland, Scotland and Northern Ireland: a Macro-Social Analysis
    The Orange Order in Ontario, Newfoundland, Scotland and Northern Ireland: A Macro-Social Analysis This paper will attempt to sketch the outlines of the 'big picture' of Orangeism, with a special focus on the largest Orange jurisdictions: Ontario, Newfoundland, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Of the major centres of Orange activity, Liverpool in England, New Brunswick and some of the southern Irish border counties are excluded though we will touch on these cases - as well as the rest of Canada - where appropriate. This paper will also focus on the relatively neglected twentieth century, which is when the Orange Order, like most other fraternal societies, reached its organizational zenith and strongest membership levels. Once again, however, the broad sweep of this paper will, where appropriate, encompass the latter half of the nineteenth century. This article is deliberately cavalier in its approach to disciplinary boundaries and the restrictions imposed by them. Historians insist upon a narrowly delimited time period while political scientists fetishize the Order's political impact while ignoring its social and geographical aspects. The anthropologist insists that unstructured interviews and participant observation are vital, the historian prefers the archive and the political scientist plumps for statistical accuracy. This paper will address - and transcend - all of these perspectives. This interdisciplinary approach also suffuses my attitude to sources. I use geographical, archival, interview and quantitative methods as well as participant observation. In theoretical terms, I am as interested in what happens over space (ie geography) as over time (history). I seek to explain the sociology of Orangeism, why its membership rises and falls over time and place, and what this says about modernity.

The Viet Cong (VC) have improved upon their predecessor*s techniques and are using emplaced munitions as an effective weapon. This effectiveness is attested to by the high percentage of US casualties which are caused by VC mines and booby traps. It is quite evident that we must learn something of the munitions and their use by the VC.
