Nashi

Nashi (Russian for "Ours"; Молодежное демократическое aнтифашистское движение «Наши») is, in its own words, an anti-fascist, pro-democracy [sic] youth movement in Russia…run by the Russian Government. 
The most accurate part about their self-given description is "youth movement". It is believed that Nashi was originally created in response to the Ukrainian the powers that be (i.e. the United Russia party) feared the power of the nation's youth and its ability to bring about change. Nashi was their way of coopting harnessing this and putting to work for themselves. Nashi has been accused of having two branches: one devoted to "respectable" activities like "exposing corruption" and general good (getting expired foods out of stores, etc.) and a second branch tasked with carrying out illegal activities, like discrediting political dissidents.
This second task is surprisingly important, as Vladimir Putin's government is built in no small part on the claim that there is no serious alternative to himself or his United Russia party. By doing outlandish stunts like flying penis-shaped helicopters at speeches given by opposition leaders or pooping on the cars of opposition leaders (yes, those both have happened) the opposition is effectively trivialized, which helps cement Putin's power. 
A slightly older — both in inception and in demographics — movement is RNU, which does the same things but in the name of… their own Russia National Unity party.

Nation

A nation (often interchanged with country) is a group of people who share certain characteristics, most commonly language, religion, ethnicity, and history. As a sociological and political term, it is a fluid concept — what Benedict Anderson has termed an "imagined community."Other scholars like Anthony D. Smith have similarly emphasized how persistent and fluid the notion of nation was even before the modern conception of the nation-state. It has been common in history for different nations to fuse togetherFor example, as the different Jurchen and other tribes in Northeast China became the Manchu, or how the Cornish, etc., all became English. or for a single nation to break apart.A modern example of this seems to be the Chinese and the Taiwanese, and possibly the North and South Koreans. Sometimes, a single person may feel they belong to more than one "nationality", depending on circumstances.This sums up the feelings of many Yugoslavs at the beginning of the 1990s.
Most of the states of Western Europe were built along national lines - Denmark, Malta, and Iceland, for example; but compare Austria, Ulster, Switzerland, Catalonia, San Marino, Belgium, Luxembourg, Cyprus, the Vatican City, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, nation-building also came about due to European monarchs fostering a sense of nationhood amongst their peoples through nationalism, adopting the "vulgar" languages and concentrated myth-making.
Examples of such myth-making include King Arthur, Charlemagne, the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, and El Cid.
Since World War I, nationality as the primary prerequisite for statehood has declined. Today, most states are rather multi-nationalEither because they have national minorities or were never nation-states, to begin with. though there was a brief resurgence of "ethnic group gets a country" in the 1990s with the break up of the communist system in Eurasia. 
The population of the nation of Canada includes over 600 recognized .

Nation-state

The nation-state is a relatively recent geopolitical occurrence, despite common belief. Nation-states are products of the modern age and did not exist before the advent of modernity; prior to this, agglomerates of polities, ethnic identities, and religious territories tended to make up what people in the Middle Ages might have considered analogous to the 21st-century nation-state.
Many people, following in the footsteps of Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), espouse the belief that nation-states are eternal. They often rely on myth to bolster their ignorance of historical development. They are called nationalists because they espouse various theories of positive nationalism. 
Belief in the eternal nature of nation-states is one of the more inexplicable psychological flaws that dot the citizenry. Because of this die-hard belief, appeals to the mythical nature of national foundings are often used for contemporary political maneuvers against social change, most especially on the political right. Leftist politics tends to associate economic trends (the state) with social history, as opposed to trends in solidarity based on more phenotypical or rhetorical similarities (the nation).
Some people like to think that a nation-state consists in the perfect congruence of a nation and a state. This seldom occurs.

Nation (magazine)

The Nation is an American weekly magazine of opinion and reviews, published continuously since July 6, 1865.http://www.thenation.com/archive It was a successor to abolitionist newspaper which had been rendered obsolete due to the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. It has historically been a bastion of liberal and socialist thought.
The Nation's current editor and publisher is Katrina vanden Heuvel, succeeding the "publisher emeritus" Victor Navasky (whose name alone tells you he's a commieActually, no, he's a Ukrainian Jew. But what were you expecting by judging people by their surnames?).
The Nation publishes 48 weeks a year, printing letters to the editor (including responses by article writers), editorials, columns by regular commentators, book reviews, and the wonderful Nation puzzle, which was created by cryptographer Frank W. Lewis just after the Second World War.

National Bible Bee

The National Bible Bee was "founded with the mission to engage young people in the memorization and study of God's Word and provide opportunities to proclaim it through local, national and broadcast competitions." https://biblebee.org/ The National Bible Bee Website, accessed on September 03, 2019 It is a favorite Bible memory competition - and, obviously, the preferred pastime - of children and young adults alike.
The NBB is very similar to a typical spelling bee, except contestants must recite Bible passages and facts rather than spell words. 
The purpose of the NBB is to promote the Christian God in children and youth by motivating them to memorize passages and facts found in the Bible. https://www.facebook.com/pg/nationalbiblebee/about/?ref=page_internal From "About" of the NBB page on Facebook, accessed on March 19, 2020
The ultimate goal of this game - aside from having guaranteed wacky family fun for all ages - is to arm the next generation with enough scripture and biblical facts https://biblebee.org/ The National Bible Bee Website, accessed on 03 September 2019 as to engineer bold ambassadors for Jesus Christ and his rather nasty old dad, Jehova.
Contestants are allowed to use the King James Version (eew), the New King James Version (about equally eew in quality, but marginally more readable), the English Standard Version (approaching tolerable), or the New American Standard Bible (all the pitfalls of over-literal translation, and then some). 
If you missed the pattern in this litter of prospect Bible versions, they seem to have chosen some of the most distinctly conservative English translations available, accuracy be damned. They have also excluded the preferred Bibles of those heathen Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians.

National Cancer Institute

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is either one of the most respected and comprehensive sources of information on cancer treatments, or the control nexus of the cancer industry, depending on who you believe.
It's part of the National Institutes for Health (NIH), a US Government agency, and is tasked with coordinating the US National Cancer Program, an umbrella program that draws research, training and health information around the subject of cancer.
It was established in 1937 and made an operating division of NIH in 1944. A survey in 1995 suggested that the NCI's sponsorship of investigational new drugs research was responsible for two thirds of all new cancer treatments approved by the FDA.

National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health

The National Center for Complementary and Quackademic Integrative Health (NCCQIH),"Congress Polishes the Turd that was NCCAM, David Gorski formerly the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and, before that, the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM), is a U.S. agency under the control of the National Institute of Health. NCCQIH serves as a granting agency for research, education and propaganda for "alternative therapies" in medicine. With over $120 million of annual taxpayer money,https://nccih.nih.gov/about it is the largest public supporter of quack integrative medicine and pseudoscience in the world. If you could find any government agency that RationalWiki would advocate cutting immediately, this is it.
It was created in 1991 at the instigation of former Senator Tom Harkin (D-Laa-laa-land), a woo integrative medicine believer. He was voted "Chiropractic Champion of the Year,"We shit you not. even before he shoehorned clauses into Obamacare that are being exploited by quacks integrative practitioners in an attempt to get chiropractic registered as a primary care profession, among other jaw-dropping credulity-stretching, drivelling, incontinent idiocies.
The mission of NCCQIH is threefold:Facts-at-a-Glance and Mission, NCCAM
*Explore complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of rigorous science.
*Train complementary and alternative medicine researchers.
*Disseminate authoritative information to the public and professionals.
In truth the "research" is mediocre at best and borderline fraudulent for some of the worse cases. NCCQIH has also expanded a great deal on the second and third planks of their mission and become a propaganda mill for unproven and disproven therapies. They have also moved away from being a third-party player and have started to actively "train" practitioners in the art of scam medicine. 
In an era where scientific funding for agencies such as the NIH is stagnant, NCCQIH is a major blight. Discussions on tactics for defunding the agency occasionally pop up on blogs, but the likelihood of much progress in the near future is slim.Why the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) Should Be Defunded, QuackwatchThe National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM): Your Tax Dollars at Work, ScienceBlogs
When NCCQIH does run proper tests, it finds a string of "no better than placebo."Research Results by Date, NCCAM Harkin is annoyed by this as he created NCCQIH to prove magic worked. Bwahaha.

National Center for Science Education

The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) is an American non-profit organization which combats the anti-science movement in the public sphere, although it focuses nearly exclusively on material relating to the origins debate. The NCSE acts as a central information and resource clearinghouse for the promotion of science, and helps to coordinate the activities of people fighting anti-science in public education. They have routinely opposed intelligent design, earning themselves much criticism from pseudoscience-promoting organizations, like Answers in Genesis. They are affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
==History==
They were founded in 1981 and incorporated in 1983, by several "Committees of Correspondence" that had been established to fight the promotion of "creation science" by Christian fundamentalists.More about NCSE. In 1987, author and lecturer Eugenie Scott (who holds a PhD in physical anthropology) became its executive director.Tom McIver in Isis, quoted Eugenie C. Scott's in Evolution vs. Creationism: An Introduction. Members of its board of directors are selected based on their scientific credentials.
==Supporters==
The NCSE's current supporters include Bruce Alberts, President of the National Academy of Sciences; Donald Johanson, discoverer of the "Lucy" fossil; and evolutionary biologist Francisco J. Ayala. Also, the late paleontologist and writer Stephen Jay Gould was a long-time supporter. As of 2008, the group has over 4000 members who are "scientists, teachers, clergy, and citizens with diverse religious affiliations." The NCSE also works with other scientific and educational organizations, such as the National Academy of Sciences, the National Association of Biology Teachers, and the National Science Teachers Association" (official NCSE website).
Regarding religion, the NCSE is neutral, and they often coordinate their efforts with appropriately pro-science religious organizations. In their publication, Voices For Evolution, they list various organizations, including religious ones, that either support evolution, or at least the teaching of evolution.
==Notable projects and accomplishments==
In 2003, the NCSE gained international attention with Project Steve.Project Steve in the media, National Center for Science Education, Last updated February 26, 2004, retrieved September 11, 2007.
They were a major partner in the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. 
In April 2008, the NCSE launched "Expelled-Exposed," a website critical of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. The website received press attention and a large amount of traffic.
By 2011, the NCSE had also added combating global warming denial to its repertoire.Teachers Feeling Heat Over Climate Change

National Council Against Health Fraud

The National Council Against Health Fraud is a nonprofit, American-based voluntary health agency that is "focused upon health misinformation, fraud, and quackery as public health problems."http://www.ncahf.org/ It emerged from three separate organizations in the 70's, notably Quackwatch. It is heavily criticized by alternative medicine quacks, for using science to expose quacks, which causes quacks' blood pressure to boil over.
==Mission Statement and Positions==
===Mission Statement===
The mission of the NCAHF is based on customer protection and the scientific method. The first part of the mission statement details that everybody is a consumer, and therefore everyone deserves high quality and functional healthcare. This includes health officials and professionals, who must do their duty to help consumers protect themselves from quacks and alternative medicine promoters. They investigate fake or useless products in the pharmaceutical and medicine industry, and evaluate them. They also state that the scientific method is the best and only way to validate and improve health services. It is their belief that health products and services should be safe and effective, accurately and fully labeled, and advertised truthfully. They hold the Consumer Bill of Rights in high regard, adhering to its principles, supporting consumer health laws, and opposing any legislation that could undermine it.http://www.ncahf.org/about/mission.html
===Selected positions===
====Acupuncture====
The organization's official position on acupuncture is that it is an unproven form of treatment. From there, they state that it is based on primitive medicinal practices and beliefs, and that it has no basis in real scientific medicine. They cite that research has not demonstrated its efficacy, and that effects that are felt by the patients are probably due mostly to the placebo effect.

National Health Federation

The National Health Federation is an advocacy group in the United States founded in 1955. They are based in Monrovia, California and have in recent years gone international with the focus and scope of their activism, in part over opposition to attempts to harmonize vitamin and herbal supplement regulations around the world, which they see as a threat to "health freedom". Their leadership is a "who's who" of alternative medicine practitioners and advocates, many of whom have had legal brushes with the Food and Drug Administration and state regulatory agencies.
In general the NHF lobbies for removal of restrictions on any and all alternative health treatments, including those deemed outright quackery. They do this in the name of promoting consumer freedom of choice and open competition in the market. They have also taken up the causes of vaccine hysteria, opposition to water fluoridation (a priority for them from 1974-1980 when John Yiamouyiannis was with the NHF), and promotion of Laetrile as a cancer treatment (a priority for them circa 1978-1982). According to their website, they spearheaded the legal recognition of chiropractic in the 1960s and acupuncture in the 1980s.
Their website sells a number of books by authors like Kevin Trudeau promoting alternative health remedies. Past leadership includes Maureen Kennedy Salaman (also of Liberty Lobby), Dr. Robert Atkins (of low-carb diet fame), and Dr. Jonathan Wright (who also founded a tongue-in-cheek group called the American Quack Association).
