  • Belarus – the Unfulfilled Phenomena: the Prospects of Social Mobilization

    Belarus – the Unfulfilled Phenomena: the Prospects of Social Mobilization

    14 Jovita Pranevičiūtė* Institute of International Relations and Political Science, University of Vilnius Belarus – the Unfulfilled Phenomena: The Prospects of Social Mobilization For more than ten years Belarus has be under authoritarian rule and it has been difficult to explain this phenomenon. The rhetoric of the Belarusian elites – governing and oppositional – is analyzed as the main tool of the struggle to mobilize society for collec- tive action in the political fight. The rhetoric of the ruling elite, and also the opposition, is analyzed in three dimensions: how competing elites are talking about the glorious past; the degraded present; and the utopian future. Through collective action, the nation will reverse the conditions that have caused its present degradation and recover its original harmonious essence. The main aim of this study is to demonstrate that in short - and perhaps even in the medium-run - the Belarusian president Alexander Lukahenko will remain in power due to the successful employment of the trinomial rhetorical structure. The conclusions can be shocking meaning that the ruling elite has been able to persuade society that the glorious past has been realized in the times of Soviet Union and at the moment Belarus is living in the conditions of utopian future, i.e. future is a reality, nonetheless the short period of the opposition ruin rule in the nineties and negative actions of opposition in nowadays. While the utopian reality is based at least on the ideas of economical survival and believes that all the aims of society have been reached already, the opposition has no chance to mobilize a critical part of society to ensure the support to its own ideas and to get in to power.

As can be expected, the federative organisation of such states as Germany, Switzerland, the USA, India and Russia will be reflected in their police organisation, though the extremely decentralised approach of Switzerland with hardly any central man- agement structures can hardly serve as a paradigm of ‘the’ federal police organisation.
  • The Third Sunday of Easter We Are Witnesses to the Resurrection

    The Third Sunday of Easter We Are Witnesses to the Resurrection

    The Third Sunday of Easter We Are Witnesses to the Resurrection During these weeks after Easter, the Church highlights various aspects of the Easter Mystery for us so that we can grow in our understanding of Jesus’ resurrection and its meaning for our lives. Witnesses to the Resurrection: In today’s first reading, taken from the Acts of the Apostles, the Liturgy describes how the resurrection of Jesus transformed the lives of his first followers. The apostles, who had failed miserably when Jesus was arrested and handed over to be crucified, have now become bold witnesses of his resurrection. They are no longer afraid to proclaim their faith in Jesus because they now believe that he is risen and alive. And so they say to the world: We are witnesses of these things as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him. The apostles have become witnesses to the resurrection, and they testify to the world that Jesus is risen and alive. They testify that God’s power is stronger than the power of death. They testify that God has vanquished the power of sin through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Being a witness to the resurrection is an apt description of what it means to be a Catholic and a Christian today. As followers of Christ, it is our mission to testify to the world that the crucified Christ is risen and alive. It is our mission to testify that the power of Christ’s resurrection is stronger than the power of sin and death.

Rule XXIV clause 7, first adopted in 1909. Today, the Calendar Wednesday procedure is utilized infrequently due to its cumbersome operation and to the fact that nonprivileged bills may be con- sidered more effectively pursuant to other procedures, such as a special order from the Committee on Rules, suspension of the rules, or unanimous consent. Deschler Ch 21 § 4. Where the Rules Committee has declined to report a special order providing for the consideration of a bill, it may be taken up pursuant to the Calendar Wednesday rule.

  • Calendar of the Christian Year

    Calendar of the Christian Year

    T H E C A L E N D A R o f t h e C H R I S T I A N Y E A R A N I N T R O D U C T I O N The Christian Year consists of two cycles of holy days. The first is the Paschal Cycle, which follows the lunar calendar and identifies the first Sunday after the full moon that falls on or after March 21 as Easter Day. (Easter Day cannot occur before March 22 or after April 25.) The season of Lent precedes Eastertide and the Season after Pentecost follows it. The second cycle, the Incarnation Cycle, follows the solar calendar and places our Lord’s birth on December 25 (Christmas Day) with the season of Advent preceding it. The season of Epiphany follows the twelve days of the Christmas season (Christmastide.) S U N D A Y S The sequence of the Sundays of the Calendar depends on the date of Easter, because every Sunday is a celebration of our Lord’s resurrection from the dead. Nevertheless, Sundays also reflect the character of the seasons in which they are set. Following ancient Jewish tradition, the celebration of any Sunday begins at sundown on the Saturday that precedes it. Therefore at Evening Prayer on Saturdays (other than Holy Days), the Collect appointed for the ensuing Sunday is used. 687 | THE CALENDAR OF THE CHRISTIAN YEAR P R I N C I P A L F E A S T S Easter Day Christmas Day December 25 Ascension Day The Epiphany January 6 The Day of Pentecost All Saints’ Day November 1 Trinity Sunday These feasts take precedence over any other day or observance.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEGITIMACY, TERRORIST ATTACKS AND POLICE Jennifer Catherine Gibbs Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor Laura Dugan Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice Scholars often suggest that terrorism – “the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence to attain a political, economic, religious or social goal through fear, coercion or intimidation” (LaFree & Dugan, 2007, 184) – is a battle of legitimacy. As the most ubiquitous representatives of the government’s coercive force, the police should be most susceptible to terrorism stemming from perceptions of illegitimacy. Police are attractive symbolic and strategic targets, and they were victimized in over 12% of terrorist attacks worldwide since 1970. However, empirical research assessing the influence of legitimacy on terrorist attacks, generally, and scholarly attention to terrorist attacks on police are scant. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the influence of state and police legitimacy and alternative explanations on the proportion of all and only fatal terrorist attacks on police in 82 countries between 1999 and 2008. Data were drawn from several sources, including the Global Terrorism Database and the World Values Survey. Surprisingly, results of Tobit analyses indicate that police legitimacy, measured by the percentage of the population who have at least some confidence in police, is not significantly related to the proportion of all terrorist attacks on police or the proportion of fatal terrorist attacks on police. State legitimacy was measured by four indicators; only the percentage of the population who would never protest reached significance, lending limited support for this hypothesis. Greater societal schism, the presence of a foreign military and greater economic inequality were consistently significant predictors of higher proportions of terrorist attacks on police.
  • Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday

    Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday

    Christianity Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday Summary: Lent, a period of forty days (excluding Sundays) from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, is a time of penitence and preparation for Christians, many of whom strengthen their faith through study, prayer, fasting or abstinence. Its restriction and solemnity contrast the joys of Easter, the Sunday celebration of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” The priest or minister speaks these words, inscribing a small cross of ashes on the forehead of each person who comes to the special Ash Wednesday service at the beginning of Lent. The season of Lent lasts for forty days, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, and the count excludes Sundays. It is a solemn drama in which Christians are to prepare themselves, through fasting and prayer, to accompany Christ in the events of Holy Week, including his betrayal, his crucifixion, his death, and his resurrection. Lent is the church’s great season of penitence, abstinence, and preparation and is said to correspond to the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness preparing for his public ministry. In the early church, this was the initiatory season in which new Christians were prepared through instruction and catechism for the initiation of baptism, which took place on Easter Sunday. Today, Lent is still a time of preparation for baptism. It is also a time for all Christians to strengthen their faith through study and reflection, fasting and abstinence. In Protestant and Catholic churches, some form of fasting or some daily practice of study and prayer is encouraged during Lent.
