Visions of Faith

Visions of Faith

Monday, November 19, 2012 — Week of Proper 28, Year 2

Elizabeth, Princess of Hungary, 1231

[Go to for an online version of the Daily Office including today’s scripture readings.]

Today’s Readings for the Daily Office (p. 993)

Psalms 89:1-18 (morning) // 89:19-52 (evening)

Habakkuk 2:1-4, 9-20

James 2:14-26

Luke 16:19-31

Habakkuk wonders about whether God’s rule of justice is really effective in a world which appears so unjust. In chapter one, Habakkuk issued two complaints toward God. The first complaint is that the national leaders are corrupt, motivated only by the accumulation of wealth and power. God answers Habakkuk’s complaint saying that God will send a foreign army to depose the current leadership. Habakkuk complains a second time after the foreign army, God’s chosen instrument of judgment, has invaded and conquered. They are as bad as the evil ones they replaced. Will God respond? Will God administer justice?

Habakkuk opens his words today: “I will stand at my watchpost, and …keep watch to see what he… will answer concerning my complaint.” God’s answer: “There is still a vision for the appointed time… If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.”

Verse 4 seems to speak the core of the message: “Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faith.” There is a translation footnote that translates “faith” as “faithfulness.” The Hebrew word means “firmness, steadfastness, fidelity.” The righteous live by their firm, steadfast, fidelity and faithfulness.

From that bedrock of faithfulness, Habakkuk speaks powerfully toward the proud, powerful and wealthy. “Alas for you who get evil gain for your houses… The very stones will cry out from the wall… Alas for you who build a town by bloodshed, and found a city on iniquity! …The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Alas for you who make your neighbors drink, pouring out your poison until they are drunk… You will be sated with contempt instead of glory… What use is an idol…? Alas for you who say to the wood ‘Wake up!’ …See, it is gold and silver plated, and there is no breath in it at all. But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him!”

Habakkuk lives in a time of injustice and the misuse of power. The wealthy pursue their own gain; there is violence and arrogance abounding. Habakkuk speaks judgment to the powerful. He waits upon a firm foundation: His steadfast fidelity toward God.

The other readings invite further commentary on faithful living.

James lives with people who make a show of their belief, but their actions are lacking. “Show me your faith apart from you works, and I by my works will show you my faith… Even the demons believe — and shudder… Just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.”

Jesus tells of a complacent man, living in comfort and luxury, oblivious to the suffering of the poor just outside his own vision. When he realizes God’s judgment upon him, he cries out in agony.

These are stories and images about faith. When I was growing up, faith was mostly about belief — “faith” was to assent to a particular content with your belief. That is not what faith is in any of these stories, or in most of the Bible. Marcus Borg likes to use four Latin words to expand our understanding of faith: assensus (belief); fiducia (trust); fidelitus (loyalty); visio (vision).

Habakkuk has a vision of trust in God that prompts his steadfast loyalty. James says that faith is a verb, acted out in deeds that are faithful to God’s vision. Jesus gives a vision of what loyalty to God rather than toward one’s one interests looks like. All three of these expressions of faith have practical effect — economic and social impact.

The implication: It’s not so much about what you believe, it is about your loyal, active trust in a vision that belongs to God.

The American Colonial Period Decorating Style

Dee Yonker

RANGOLI designs are a classic folk art of India,colorful, vibrant, inventive, full of life, they represent the correct spirit of India. Capture the accurate spirit of the theatre by decorating your venue in Broadway style. Pictures of my Sweet Sweater Pumpkins or any other item for sale might not be utilised to promote, industry, or promote any solution not produced by me. Blue and white property decor is soothing and serene and also the easiest colour combination to decorate with simply because most shades of blue appear great with other shades of blue and due to the fact blue and white have been a preferred for centuries in virtually each and every culture around the world. We also have pillows and slipcovers, drapes, panels, and blinds & shades to help comprehensive a room’s appear. I am a girl who loves getting a large pile of pillows on her bed, so I’m definitely going to get some of these. I utilized to have a need for becoming an interior decorator, but I’m just getting enjoyable decorating my house for now!

I like to keep in synche with the local Wal-mart…so as soon as they start filling up the Garden Center with Christmas things…we go to work on decorating the home for Christmas. A single of the most rewarding sights for us this year has been seeing so several of our consumers sharing how they decorate their shops with Accent Decor holiday merchandise. Some farmers’ markets also sell potted mums, and these make excellent Thanksgiving decorations. Birthdays, holidays, or ‘everydays’—these rapid do-it-oneself decorations are best for any celebration on a budget. White lights and black drapes make ideal decorations for the walls and windows while centerpieces can incorporate anything theatre-associated.

From historic silks, damasks and velvets to contemporary microfibers, there’s a blue for every period decorating style from Classical to Country, Primitive to Sophisticated, Classic to Cutting Edge. Of course, you may possibly want to make your pumpkins say some thing, or you may want to give them a pattern or design. Recycling tiny felt or paper pieces is a great way to save money on decorations. The decorative is taken up as a device in order to understand a diverse mode of art’s operation, of weakening art’s so called autonomy, in order to restore the objects intersubjective and social capacities. Across the planet, and in the vast majority of cultures, blue is the most common colour for home decorating. These organic balls are very easily offered in the decorating section of most residence or craft retailers. For this fall decorating project, you can use actual pumpkins or plastic pumpkins.

As I began my study, I was saddened that most blogs and videos center on only the decorations and the large reveal moment. There are some superb residence decoration shops out there that provide fashionable home decorations at decent costs. I generally begin decorating my apartment at the end of November but put up my tiny tree around the 2nd week of December. Oversized Christmas ornaments and decorations generally cost a bit a lot more, but there are also more affordable, homemade alternatives, such as 3D paper stars, that will look equally elegant and beautiful. It would make a phenomenal decorative pillow for a bed or a sofa, and it fits into the Frozen theme definitely completely.

It is also genuinely reminding me that it is time for me to let go of summer time and get to function on my outdoor fall decor (hubby just pushed me to do the inside of the house this previous weekend). In my 8 years in China, I identified that Chinese folks do not like the colour blue for decorating. Read on to shop holiday products from the video or skip to the complete Accent Decor 2016 Vacation Collection right here ! A great balance of both organized and relaxed may possibly be a bit daunting at initial, but, pondering about the ways we ourselves really feel welcome to relax will aid guide us to pick a decorating plan to invite our friends and family members to appreciate their visit as properly.

Orchha is app 20 kms from Jhansi. The Shatabdhi Express takes app 4 hours from Delhi to Jhansi. See Chhatris, Chaturbhuj Temple, Raja Mahal, Ram Mandir and Laxmi Narayan temple & Bundela paintings. You see the Chhatris on the banks of the river Betwa. River rafting starts from here.

One of the cenotaphs is that of Banka Umed Singh. Orchha was founded in the 16th century by Bundela chieftain Rudra Pratap who made it his capital. The most notable Bundela ruler was Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo.

A closer view of the chhatris. There are 14 chhatris to the rulers of Orchha grouped along the Kanchan Ghat of river Betwa.

A sun set view with the chhatris. We spent one hour on the river banks with our feet in water. A city person like me loved it. There is a small bridge across the river.

We found more foreign than Indian tourists. The main market road has a number of small restaurants that cater to tourists as you see in this picture. You get Italian, Mexican and Israeli food.

You see the famous Ram Raja Temple. It is the only temple in the country where Ram is worshipped as King because of the icon of Shri Ram in the palace. According to tradition Rani Ganesh Kunwari, wife of Madhukar Shah brought the icon from Ayodhya to Orchha to install it in the temple. For more read travelogue.

You see Chathurbuj Temple. I tried clicking this picture from the Raja Mahal i.e. opposite the temple but there was no place to click from hence the post card.

A side view of the temple. A tall shikhara (spire) rises over the sanctum. This is an amazingly huge structure. The temple was built by Madhukar Shah for his queen Kunwari.

The temple is reached by a flight of steps. Since it was Diwali time the temple was full of visitors. They performed a dance called Momiya dance. It involves dancing with peacock feathers as you can see in this picture.

You come up the stairs into a huge open hall in front of the icon. I clicked this picture of them dancing from a height. It is full of fervor, noise and action.

From the temple I saw a Pandit (priest) doing puja of a newly purchased Hyundai I10 car.

Clicked this picture from ground level for you to see how big and tall the temple is. It has many floors. You have to climb a series of narrow steps to reach the temple top.

A close up view of the Shikharas (spire). This is the highest point that we could climb to. You get a spectacular view of the town from here.

A near 2 km stone path links the Ram Raja Temple to the Lakshminarayana Temple which fuses elements of fort architecture in temple moulds. The interiors contain some of the most exquisite murals and walls of the Bundela School of painting. It was built on an elevation and on a rectangular plan by Veer Singh Deo in 1622 and renovated by Prithvi Singh in 1793.

A view of the Raja Mahal complex clicked from Chathurbuj Temple. A four arched bridge leads to the fort complex on the island. The complex has a 14 kms fort wall around it. It consists of Raj Mahal, Jehangir Mahal, Rai Parveen Mahal. A must see.

In front see Betwa River, small bridge and background is fort wall of Raja Mahal complex. When we went river rafting we went below the bridge. Clicked this from the across the river i.e. wildlife sanctuary side.

Raj Mahal, the second palace in the fort is well known for its murals depicting religious themes. Its plain exterior, a solid single block crowned by chhatris (umbrella like memorial cenotaphs). In the Janana (women’s) chamber is a huge courtyard that overlooked the Queens rooms which is what you see.

The deeply religious Madhukar Shah built Raj Mahal between 1554 and 1591. You see an enterprising guide dancing with Italian tourists. Guides of Orchha are very good at speaking foreign languages including Japanese.

You see a front view of the Jahangir Mahal clicked from Raj Mahal. It was built by Bir Singh Deo in the early part of the 17th century to mark the visit of Mughal king Jahangir.

You see courtyard of Jahangir Mahal. The 70m square palace has a small interior courtyard with a central fountain around which are apartments and terraces in three storeys. A dome caps each corner bastion. There are eight domes. The architecture is a blend of traditional Hindu and elaborate Mughal. Centre dome is Hindu, lotus flower upside down while right dome is plain i.e. Islamic.

You see main entrance to Jahangir Mahal ie from the eastern Betwa river side. Earlier I thought that Jahangir Mahal meant it was made by Jahangir. During this trip realized that Mahal was named after him only because it was made by the local king in his honor.

A close up of entrance to Jahangir Mahal. Note the architecture and elephants on either side of entrance.

You see sun rise at Orchha, notice bridge in center of picture. As we were getting ready to go river rafting we got an amazing and enriching feel of rural India.

Devotees from far and wide come in buses that you see in picture, camp on the banks of the Betwa River before having darshan at Chathurbuj Temple which is what you see in the background.

You see devotees on the river banks washing clothes and having a bath. They sleep in the buses.

You see devotees cooking food. They come prepared with stocks of provisions. All they need is a place to cook. Most city bred people like me might never travel like this. We would crib. But these people were enjoying themselves. They looked so happy.

MP Tourism organizes a one hour river rafting program for Rs 1200/. There are a couple of rapids not as exciting as rafting on the Ganges but great fun though. We loved it. You get a great view of Orchha from the boat. You see wifey with our guides who I must say were very competent and courteous.

MP Tourism hotel is called Betwa Retreat. You see the garden. Great place, great service, great food and situated on the banks of the river. Read a book on its terrace i.e. virtually next to the river.

Manager’s wife Mrs Malhotra made a beautiful Rangoli in garden since it was Diwali time. A must see Orchha. Keep two days if not three. It is a very clean and well laid out town. Read Travelogue.

Galaxy GM dismisses Chicharito-to-Chivas chatter amid team struggles

LA Galaxy GM responds to Chicharito to Chivas rumours (1:35)

Dennis te Kloese joins Taylor Twellman and Jon Champion to address some of the rumours swirling around LA Galaxy. (1:35)

LA Galaxy general manager Dennis te Kloese said Liga MX powerhouse Chivas have not made contact over star striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez.

Speaking on ESPN at halftime of the Galaxy's 5-2 loss to the Portland Timbers on Wednesday night, Te Kloese dismissed reports that Mexico's all-time leading scorer may be headed back to his boyhood club in Guadalajara.

"It's been a challenging year for everybody and certainly for Javier," Te Kloese said. "He came in with high expectations ... we haven't been able to connect the high expectations so far and there's no truth in any rumors about him going to Chivas, or anything else."

The ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid player has had a poor start in Major League Soccer, scoring one goal this season since joining from Sevilla FC in February.

He ruled himself out of Wednesday's game due to an undisclosed injury prior to the Galaxy officially listing him as not available for the match in Portland.

The defeat to the Timbers saw the Galaxy remain in last place in MLS' Western Conference, having won only three points over the last nine games.

Te Kloese also said brushed off talks about Galaxy manager Guillermo Barros Schelotto's future amid the club's poor run of form. In recent weeks, Barros Schelotto's position is speculated to be unstable, with Robbie Keane and Javier Aguirre linked with the job, but Te Kloese said is not the time to discuss the manager's job.

"I think it's a challenging moment to discuss it right now," Te Kloese added, with the Galaxy already 3-0 down. "I think beyond even the manager's position, the players, my decision, my part is being first of all held responsible.

"We have to take responsibility and evaluate as best we can, obviously, after a very rough season so far and I think it's not the time to discuss anything on the manager's position or anybody within the organization before we sit together and evaluate."

Following the game, Schelotto spent less than a minute at the post-match news conference.

The former Boca Juniors manager said: "The first half we committed a lot of defensive errors, it's not necessary to talk about them.

"We could spend a lot of time talking about what happened in the first half, the reaction in the second, of how close we were to narrow the margin at 3-1, but the result is definitive.

"There are three games left over the next 10 days and we have to focus on winning them. We have the possibility of making the playoffs, depending on other results, and we'll work towards winning and have the chance to qualify. I thank you and hope you understand the moment. Good night."

The Galaxy closes out the MLS regular season with games against Real Salt Lake, Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps.

There are delays of 30 minutes on the M25 after a crash completely shut the road near the Dartford Crossing.

The crash happened shortly after 10.30am this morning (Friday, September 27) between junction 3 for the M20 (Swanley Interchange) and junction 2 for the A2 (Darenth Interchange).

All traffic was temporarily held, although one lane shortly reopened. Three lanes of traffic remain shut.

Lane four has also been shut on the clockwise carriageway to help deal with this incident.

Congestion has built on the M25 for over three miles back to junction 4, with an average speed on 10mph approaching junction 2.

It is understood that the crash involved two cars and a van, although this is yet to be confirmed.

Anyone heading towards the M25 on Friday lunchtime are warned to expect delays to their usual journey time.

Case Studies

Ready to take off?

A Caribbean luxury travel operator increases conversion rate by 45% and revenue by 26% with ESV Digital.

Sandals is the leading operator of all-inclusive resorts for couples looking for luxurious getaways. Sandals has properties throughout the Caribbean islands of Jamaica, The Bahamas, Saint Lucia, Antigua, Barbados, and Grenada.

Sandals has been operating in the ﬁeld of travel and leisure since 1981. Their focus in digital marketing is to increase awareness, complement TV advertising, and grow bookings.

“ESV has been a fantastic partner over the years. When we wanted to get more aggressive in our efforts, ESV stepped in with a solid strategy to boost spend while maintaining efficiency. We were expecting to grow our orders, but we had no idea we would actually end up being able to spend more than ever before, while still maintaining our KPI targets! Thanks to these results, we’re expanding into performance display with ESV at the helm, and I have full confidence that performance will continue to exceed expectations.”

Chris Mullins
Search & PPC Marketing Manager – Sandals

The Caribbean luxury travel operator had over 5 years of history with ESV when they began to look for ways to improve efficiency without impacting revenue volume.
Sandals wanted to optimise their search activity so that other marketing channels – such as RTB – could be implemented while maintaining the overall online marketing budget and CoS target.
Sandals also wanted to maximise impression share for exact match keywords. Broad match keywords appeared to have been cannibalising traffic in other areas of the account and were negatively affecting phrase match efficiency as well.

We began by changing all US broad match keywords to Broad Match Modified. This involved placing “+” signs in front of key terms within each keyword. Words like “of”, “and”, “to” and “in” did not have “+” added to them, but all meaningful terms in a phrase were amended. We did this in the most mature parts of the account in the US market only.

Using the Broad Match Modifier opted us out of the full broad match behaviour (i.e. matching similes, and matching against in-session searches that were unrelated to the site).
In addition, we added a host of search queries in exact match that had been triggering broad match and converting.

A Caribbean luxury travel operator increases conversion rate by 45% YoY and revenue by 26% YoY with ESV Digital.

Sorry, mama! Bella Hadid’s mom, Yolanda Foster, is a former model herself, but she may not be a big fan of her youngest daughter’s latest project.

Hadid, 19, posted an incredibly racy photo of herself, posing topless in a new shoot.

“Sorry mama,” she captioned the Instagram photo. “Secret project with my dream team @nomadrjand @elizabethsulcer #BTS.”

In the shot, Hadid is wearing a black choker necklace with a black body chain running down her middle and around her hips. She also wore a pair of black underwear with her arm covering her breasts.

The supermodel’s brunette lob was teased for the shoot. It’s unclear if her hair was cut or simply pinned up for the photos.

Hadid recently returned from a trip to Gustavia, Saint Barthelemy where she and some friends enjoyed sunning themselves in bikinis by the pool.

In late March, Bella spoke with ET about working in the same industry as her family, calling her older sister Gigi’s support “a beautiful thing.”

"I feel it's hard to be in a business by yourself and the fact that I have her with me at all times, I can call her and ask her about things, is so amazing," Bella told ET at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards.

ETU backs live electrical work ban

The Electrical Trades Union has welcomed an announcement by the State Government that live electrical work will be banned in WA.

The government will introduce laws to prevent work on energised installations, following a recommendation from safety watchdog EnergySafety.

"We have been calling for a ban on live electrical work for years," said ETU WA Branch Secretary Les McLaughlan.

"We believe that it is unsafe to perform work on any electrical equipment while it remains energised.

"There is nothing more important for our union than ensuring that every worker who goes to work returns home safely at the end of their shift."

Mr McLaughlan said the union had renewed its calls for the live ban earlier this year, after the death of two workers in an explosion at the Morley Galleria involving live equipment.

"These deaths were a tragedy and a terrible reminder of how dangerous live electrical work can be," he said.

"We are pleased that EnergySafety and the State Government are finally going to take action to ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again."

Mr McLaughlan believed the ban wouldn't significantly affect the price of electrical work.

"While we understand that shutting the electricity off will be a slight inconvenience to customers, we think the safety of workers must be put first," he said.

"Any costs associated with taking the time to shut down the power should be offset by the fact that workers will be able to do their work more quickly and efficiently without having to take all the precautions associated with live work."

Mr McLaughlan urged the government to draft the new legislation as a matter of urgency to ensure the safety of all electrical workers.

hog (n.)

mid-14c., hogge, but probably in Old English (implied late 12c. in hogaster), "a swine," especially a castrated male, "swine reared for slaughter" (usually about a year old), also used by stockmen for "young sheep before the first shearing" (early 14c.) and for "horse older than one year," suggesting the original sense had to do with age, not type of animal. Possibility of British Celtic origin [Watkins, etc.] is regarded by OED as "improbable."

Extended to the wild boar by late 15c. As a term of opprobrium for a greedy or gluttonous person, c. 1400. Meaning "Harley-Davidson motorcycle" is attested from 1967. Road hog is attested from 1886, hence hog "rude person heedless of the convenience or safety of others" (1906). To go hog-wild is American English from 1904. Hog in armor "awkward or clumsy person in ill-fitting attire" is from 1650s (later used of the armadillo).

Phrase go the whole hog (1828, American English) is sometimes said to be from the butcher shop option of buying the whole slaughtered animal (at a discount) rather than just the choice bits. But it is perhaps rather from the allegorical story (recorded in English from 1779) of Muslim sophists, forbidden by their faith from eating a certain unnamed part of the hog, who debated which part was intended and in the end managed to exempt the whole of it from the prohibition.

Had he the sinful part express'd,
They might, with safety, eat the rest.
But for one piece, they thought it hard,
From the whole hog to be debarr'd
And set their wits to work, to find
What joint the prophet had in mind.
[Cowper, "The Love of the World Reproved"]

hog (v.)

"to appropriate greedily," 1884, U.S. slang (first attested in "Huck Finn"), from hog (n.). Earlier it meant "Cause to form a horizontal arch" (like the back of a hog), 1798, and "cut a horse's mane short" (so it bristles like a hog's back), 1769. Related: Hogged; hogging.

A Brief Analysis On Global South’s Paradigms: Global Governance Case

From scheduled jet airline services to millions of bookings simultaneously around the world, experiencing foreign exchange turnover $3,500 billion in a daily basis, a broadcast of CNN reaching 260 million households within a second, on the other hand, several aeroplane crashes or computer viruses which are designed by an individual who knocks off a bank account at the diametrically opposite geography in the world…

These facts are being considered as a daily routine for most communities without interrogating the insight of these facts, however, a combination of forenamed practices also poses a challenge for our reality and our perception on reality: namely globalization. To describe the phenomenon, liberalists argue that its main focus is the economic interconnectedness of actors while political realists put forward inter-state activities in terms of core-periphery relations. Nevertheless, the mutual opinion which they agree on is that intensification of supra-territoriality in the 21st-century world affairs and the decline in statism promoted the notion of global governance which emphasizes polycentric governance notion. Since the consensus has been reached by many scholars, accessing a coherent basis for operational polycentric global governance and actors of the concept have become prominent variables. From this perspective, understanding Global South is the key component to launch a more inclusionary and functioning system.

In the contemporary world, it is a fact that multinational actors and NGOs have an ability to act beyond the defined borders. For instance, agencies who are heads of global financial and communicational companies like Shell and General Motors or non-governmental organizations such as Greenpeace and Amnesty International have the capacity to lobbying and involving decision-making mechanisms, shaping future global agenda on various topics from ecological preservation to transcontinental agreements.

Equivalent practices are recognized as the primary characteristics of globalization also known as the post-Westphalian state model. Before the post-Westphalian understanding, the majority of states were functioning as Scholte argued “Westphalian sovereignty held that each state would exercise supreme, comprehensive, unqualified and exclusive rule over its territorial jurisdiction” (2005, p.188). This notion of centralised and incontestable state authority dominated world affairs for almost four hundred years, however, as a result of a decline in statism, the state has transformed itself into a polycentric and more transparent model that authority has become a questionable concept by states’ “citizens”.

More significantly, the state authority has recognized its society as rulers, not the subjects to be ruled. In this sense, states are expected to adopt and internalize some patterns such as an efficient social welfare system, avoiding unnecessary armed conflicts or defend its domestic interest by collaborating through foreign investors. Thus, obsolescence of statism has been proposed as a new outlook which paved the way for polycentric global governance driven by reconstructed intrastate relations and capable agencies in the system.

Apart from all these progress, there is Global South where the historical development of state-state and citizen-state relations are fairly dissimilar in comparison with the Global North case which limits Global South’s contribution to the global governance. To specify most diversified inspirations on global governance, nation-building myth can be elaborated. It is assumed that the idea of nation is standardized by a common language, law, religion and territory.

Furthermore, discussion maintains as such “Longevity, effectiveness, and successful mythmaking are essential ingredients of the state legitimacy formula” (ed. Aydinli & Rosenau, 2005). From this viewpoint, industrialized countries in Global North, namely in Europe and North America, have had the stage and considerable material and intellectual capability to accomplish communal nexus and to form collective myths which ended up with the foundation of the EU, NATO and suchlike bodies which substantially contribute to global governance at the moment.

However, most of the countries in Global South, particularly the Third World countries, are far beyond reaching such an integrity with their neighbors since the Third World emancipation has been started in mid-18th century up to mid-20th century. According to Scholte, “National identities in the South developed largely through opposition to colonial rule” (2005, p.132). It can be deducted from the argument, there is no wonder that components and historical developments of the post-Westphalian state structure sound unacquainted advancements to communities in Global South which have established their national identities against the predecessors of post-Westphalian argument. In fact, as Scholte argues, “polycentrism both captures the multi-sited character of current governance and invites an exploration of the interplay between sites” (2005, p. 187).

Nevertheless, within this North-South framework, approaches to the global governance do not highlight inclusive skeletons of the notion and support the polycentrism idea which ensures practical basis on the topic since interplay between states are mainly based on one-sided view and the social cognitions are immensely dissimilar.

Secondly, another core element of the global governance is a civil society that assists to exceed the polycentric point of view by the masses whose constitutional rights and liberties are not evaluated as low politics any longer thanks to the changing state dynamics.

At this point, Scholte argues that “The shift from statism to polycentrism has prompted changes in the object of civil society activity away from the state alone to a multi-scalar and diffuse governance apparatus” (2005, p. 186). Within this context, civil society is principally organized around NGOs and empowering them to act on the legitimate basis in order to monitor events at the UN or the WTO; also lobbying to remark various concerns as well as proposals. Yet, the participation of Global North to civil society activities are much influential than Global South because the state transformation of the Third World has not been experienced comprehensively.

Since colonial ties of Global South were not broken off until the mid-20th century, the state reconstruction process building upon social evolutions of communities has not taken place in most Global South countries. Scholte mentions that “National-territorial constituencies remain very important, but raison d’état has become more than raison de la nation” (2005, p. 194). The situation is a meaningful fact for societies in Global North but not for authoritarian regimes of Global South which control and intentionally restricts its citizens’ participation to civil initiatives. In other words, the polycentric outlook in the global governance which apprehends the compact interaction between states, actors and agencies has to concentrate on civil society of Global South and critically approach to understand the limited dynamics towards the concepts.

In light of the aforementioned explanations, it can be claimed that globalization has broadened our outlooks both on the world affairs and societal relations. This domain also revitalizes academic dialogues taking a shape around how to explain and expand the global governance idea in a more effective and functional way. Accordingly, if the global governance is analyzed to offer polycentric and inclusionary solutions addressing world-wide difficulties or, at least, catalyzes the delicate issues, understanding characteristics of actors and making an effort for their ongoing emancipation on nation building phenomenon and civil society case play a crucial role. Therefore, Global South constitutes a key paradigm for the better global governance.

Ivars, on this campsite in August 2019

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

In my opinion this is very good camping for following reasons, there is a very good showers, very nice kitchen where you can wash your dishes, also friendly staff and tent or caravan sites are located among pines that helps keep the campsite cool at warm days. One more interesting thing about this camping is that here we face only one polish tourist family for period of two nights we stayed here.

A 5 minute walk to bus stop, then1/2 hour on bus, 5 minute tram then pleasant 20/30 minute walk to the old town (or take another bus) all this information given to us by very helpful staff on reception. You have to book in via bar reception, only had a drink here, but did see some people eating, but never saw menu.
Toilet/shower facilities excellent, very clean. Washing up facilities fine. Site small & at time of our visit 1/2 of site cordoned off due to previous wet weather & boggy ground, but managed to find a pitch not too close to other campers. Wifi excellent & included in price

On the off chance that the lounge area looks over the road corner, the group pool or occupied asphalt, you require protection.

To acquire it you need to choose the window medicines that give finish covering without transmitting light.

This angle has 2 factors. As a matter of first importance, keeping up glare out is imperative when sitting in front of the TV or while some individual is dozing amid the daytime or chipping away at the work area near the glossy window.

The query lost my records!

MS-Access Tips for Casual Users

Provided by Allen Browne,

The Query Lost My Records!

Nulls in Criteria

You wish to mail two different messages - one to your WA friends and another to those in other states. You create two queries: one where the Criteria line under State reads WA , and a second query where the Criteria line reads Not "WA" . You could think this would take care of all cases. It doesn't!

The problem is the way Access and other true relational databases handle Nulls. If the entry under State has been left completely blank, the record will not show up in either of the above queries. You must specifically ask Access to check for Nulls, by using a Criteria such as Is Null Or Not "WA". Whenever you enter criteria for a query, think about the possibilities of Nulls.

In some cases, you will want to prevent Nulls occurring. In Access 2 or later, open the table in Design View, click on the field, and in the properties at the bottom of the screen, set Required to "Yes".

Nulls in Joins

The same "Gotcha!" occurs when you have two tables joined on a field that can contain a Null. For example, a Customer table might be joined to an Invoice table on a CustomerID field. To cover "Cash Sales", you allow invoices to be entered with a blank CustomerID.

Now you create a query with both the Customer and Invoice tables, as the basis for a report showing all sales. If you are observant, you notice that your Cash Sales are missing, so the report has incorrect totals!

The solution is very simple. In the Query Design grid, double-click the line that joins the two queries, and Access will pop up a dialog box asking what type of JOIN you want. Select the appropriate OUTER JOIN, and all the "Cash Sales" will reappear in your query and in the report.

For more information about handling nulls, see: Common errors with Null.

Pubstack Launches Optimisation Product to Increase Publisher Ad Inventory Value

Pubstack’s first module of its new automated optimisation product uses advanced technology and allows publishers to implement Smart Ad Refresh and to generate extra ad revenue in a secure way.

A Practice to Increase Monetisation

Publishers have tested many ways to maximise yield over the years, from increasing the number of ad units and working with more header bidding partners, to implementing lazy loading ads.

Among them, ‘ad refresh’ has been one of the most popular. In 2016, Google created its own ad refresh standards and many major ad exchanges followed suit, defining their own standards.

Yet, the practice has also been viewed negatively and some publishers have avoided running ad refresh.

There have been concerns it could degrade the quality of the inventory and could tarnish their reputation amongst demand partners.

However, if implemented and monitored properly, ad refresh can be a very efficient monetisation strategy. It allows publishers to generate more revenue by leveraging their existing ad inventory and increasing its value. Many tech-savvy publishers use it, and Google and Facebook run it on their own inventory.

A Product to Serve Both Publisher and Demand Partner Interests

The product launched by Pubstack responds to concerns, and makes ad refresh both a reliable and impactful practice. It allows publishers to reap the benefits of ad refresh without degrading viewability, CPM or user experience, and serves publishers without compromising demand partners’interests.

Thanks to in-view ad refresh, Pubstack creates a pool of highly viewable impressions, that despite limited exposure time are more valuable than below-the-fold impressions, which are rarely viewable. As for the supply side, SSPs have access to highly viewable inventory that can be sold to buyers, leading to higher CPMs.

A win-win situation for all actors, Pubstack’s product is already in use across several publishers’ ad stacks. During the trial period alone, it generated up to 40% more in ad revenue for publishers and up to 90%-95% in viewability.

A Solution to Help Monetisation Teams Be Self-Dependent

Despite ad refresh being a very lucrative practice, running it properly can come with high
implementation and maintenance costs, and also requires access to granular data analytics. Monetisation teams are highly dependent on developers to continuously optimise their ad refresh setup and to develop critical features. They also often lack data to track results and fine-tune their systems.

The platform Pubstack has developed requires no code and allows monetisation teams to be flexible and independent. Publishers can set up advanced rules, based on viewability or time exposure, across every ad unit, SSP, device or website, without a single line of code.

Thanks to powerful A/B testing capabilities, publishers can also experiment with different ad refresh strategies in just a few clicks and move towards optimal yield in a short amount of time.

Pubstack has also used its background in ad performance analytics to help publishers understand the performance of their different monetisation strategies. Thanks to this, they are able to closely monitor their impact on the quality of their inventory and on ad revenues.

Future Product Developments

The Ad Refresh module is the first in a series of optimisations. To support its mission to empower publishers to thrive in an ever-changing programmatic environment, Pubstack is currently developing other modules and will be releasing them over the next few months.

Pubstack empowers publishers’ monetization teams with real-time ad revenue analytics and actionable insights to help them make better decisions and maximize their outcomes….

'Strategic' Queen will make 'extra effort' to include Harry and Meghan in Jubilee plans

QUEEN Elizabeth II and Buckingham Palace will want to keep Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "onboard" for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, claims royal expert.

Comment section Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest Copy link Link copied

Prince Harry: Nicholl warns of ‘royal snub’ for jubilee

According to a royal expert, and can expect to receive invites to the 's Platinum Jubilee, as the Royal Family aims to "show they're above" the recent Megxit drama. Speaking on the Mail+ show Palace Confidential, two royal commentators discussed the upcoming celebrations, with Charlotte Griffiths claiming the Queen is being "strategic" in her planning, to ensure that the Royal Family looks "as clean as a whistle" during the festivities.

Speaking of the Jubilee, the Mail on Sunday's Diary editor Charlotte Griffiths said: "It's so important, she's the first monarch to have ever made it to 70 years, she's 95 and they just have to be in a good place for this Jubilee celebration next year.

"She's very wise to be planning in advance and being strategic about this and just making sure that the Palace and the royals are looking clean as a whistle and ready to be on parade."

Royal expert and Daily Mail Diary editor, Richard Eden, said: "I do think all the stories about Harry and Meghan not being invited to events for the Platinum Jubilee and that sort of thing, will turn out not to be the case.

"The Palace will try and make an extra effort to try to include them because they will want to keep them on board.

"I know they're being almost threatened by this racism stuff, but they have to show that they're above that I think."

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee is due to take place over a four-day Bank Holiday next year, from the 2nd-5th of June.

Celebrations include a special Trooping the Colour, a concert outside Buckingham Palace, and a Jubilee Pageant around London for the Sunday.

Street parties will be held across the UK, and members of the Royal Family will engage in tours and official engagements throughout the year to honour the Queen's 70 years as a British monarch.

It will be the first time in British history for a reigning monarch to reach 70 years on the throne.

Relations between Buckingham Palace and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been strained since the couple announced in January 2020 that they would be stepping down from their roles as senior royals.

The move reportedly 'blindsided' several members of the Royal Family and senior courtiers at the Palace.

In their statement, the Duke and Duchess stated their intention to relocate to North America and gain their financial independence.

Since then, the couple have moved to California and have conducted a number of high-profile interviews where they have criticised the British monarchy.

During their 2-hour tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in March, the couple detailed the reasons behind Megxit, claiming that Buckingham Palace had ignored their mental health.

Whilst the couple praised the Queen, Prince Harry spoke of the "space" between himself and Prince William and said he felt "really let down" by Prince Charles.

However, the most damaging allegation was that an unnamed senior member of the Royal Family made a racist remark about the skin tone of their unborn son.

The interview caused a PR crisis for Buckingham Palace, who subsequently released a statement to say that "whilst recollections may vary", Prince Harry and Meghan were still much-loved members of the family.

Since then, Prince Harry has continued to speak publicly about his royal relatives, telling Dax Shephard of the "genetic pain and suffering" within the family.

He has also announced his memoir, which will be released next autumn in the months following his grandmother's Platinum Jubilee.
