	Settler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Settlers are (a) in prehistory, people who have migrated to different geographic regions or (b) in recent history, people who have migrated from the land of their birth to live permanently in colonies, sometimes which are controlled militarily by their home country.
		The term settler is not usually used in relation to the later histories of well-established and/or independent, postcolonial countries with continuing immigration, like the present-day United States, Canada or Australia, where terms like immigrants are preferred.
		Some historians maintain that Palestinians are descended mostly from Arab settlers in the Land of Israel (which the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed Palestine in 135 CE), after the Caliphate conquered the area in the 7th Century.

		Human rights groups note that Palestinians often fail to report cases of settler violence from fear of retribution by settlers, or of labeling as collaborators with Israeli authorities.
		Human rights groups assert that Palestinian detainees often fail to lodge complaints either from fear of retribution or because they assume that their complaints will be ignored.
		Human rights monitors say that one reason for the decrease appears to be a change in IDF tactics in confronting Palestinian demonstrators and stonethrowers, as well as apparent Israeli decisions to keep away from schools and other flashpoints.

	Martian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because of the prevalence of stories containing Martians, the idea of the Martian has become the default identity of extraterrestrial characters in popular culture.
		If Mars is colonized in the future by humans, the generations descended from the settlers may well be called Martians.
		Some members of the Mars Society, an organization devoted to such colonization, semi-humorously describe themselves as "Martians in exile".

		International, Israeli, and Palestinian human rights groups and diplomats continue to provide credible reports indicating that Israeli security forces are responsible for widespread abuse, and in some cases torture, of Palestinian detainees.
		Common interrogation practices reportedly include hooding; forced standing; tying the detainee in contorted positions; prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures; blows and beatings with fists, sticks, and other instruments; confinement in a small and often filthy space; sleep and food deprivation; threats against the detainee's family; and threats of death.
		Israeli settlers are treated more favorably under Israeli law and practices than Palestinians under the complex mixture of laws and regulations that apply to the territories.

		While the individuals killed in the two cases studied by Human Rights Watch in Hebron appear to have been involved in military activities, it is still incumbent on Israel to both acknowledge responsibility for individual assassinations, and to provide evidence that the persons targeted were legitimate military targets who could not easily be arrested.
		Settlers have shot at or stoned Palestinian cars in the Hebron district on a number of occasions; such abuses are rarely investigated by the Israeli authorities.
		Settlers also attack accredited Palestinian journalists on a regular basis; AFP photographer Hussam Abu Aleim was beaten nearly unconscious on December 10, 2000, by settlers at the Palestinian vegetable market in the H2 area of Hebron.

		Israeli sources said that this "human chain" was formed to protest the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's unilateral disengagement plan, which includes the dismantling of the illegitimate Israeli settlements in Gaza Strip and some isolated ones in northern West Bank.
		The settlers' human chain came concurrent with steps of opposition made by Sharon's party, the Likud, to thwart his negotiations with the opposition Labor Party in order to form a new coalition government.
		The organizers of the settler human chain said that it was organized on the eve of Av 9th in the old Jewish calendar, which marks the so-called anniversary of the "Temple Destruction", in order to "assert the contiguity of settlement with the Jewish heart", according to the organizers.

		A typical game takes between 75 and 100 minutes to play, although the actual time varies considerably depending on the number of players, the resource configuration on the game board and, most importantly, the time spent by players thinking about their moves in addition to the minimum time required for trading and building.

	Bush fires set by early settlers burned out Australian animals study says (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		WASHINGTON (Reuters) Australia's earliest human settlers probably wiped out many of the continent's big birds and other trademark animals by setting vast brush fires and changing the local ecology, researchers said Thursday.
		The best explanation was that big fires set by humans disrupted the brush on which the animals depended for food, said Gifford Miller of the University of Colorado at Boulder and his colleagues.
		Australia had many large animals before humans arrived, including Genyornis, which was about the size of an ostrich, a hippopotamus-size relative of the wombat, a Volkswagen-size tortoise and a huge snake, 8 meters long.

		And the new analysis puts the first human settlers in the area in the late 13th century, not the 10th century as previously thought.
		These new dates show the moas were exterminated in a 160-year interval, despite the fact that the initial population of settlers was only 100 to 200 individuals.
		The researchers blame the rapid extinction - the "fastest megafaunal extinction" on record - on the fact that long-lived birds like the moa are very vulnerable to human predation of adults in the population.

	natureandco.com: Wildlife of New Zealand (native and introduced animals)
		New Zealand's wildlife is a combination of native animals who have lived and evolved in isolation ever since the New Zealand landmass drifted away from Gondwana 80 million years ago, and of exotic species, mostly introduced by human settlers.
		The early European settlers introduced many species: browsing animals like deer, pigs, goats and possums; hares and rabbits; stoats and ferrets in an (failed) attempt to control rabbits; and several species of birds.
		New Zealand's wildlife today is the result of the dramatic changes brought by human settlement, with some destruction of natural environments and the introduction of alien flora and fauna, and their impact upon native species and biota.
