The article analyzes trends in the global climate agenda and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on it. Analysis of the events series associated with the pandemic and its impact on the economies of leading countries and on the prospects for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is carried out. Article also focuses on the climate-related social movements, including Fridays for Future initiative and Flightshaming flashmobs. Analysis of the origin of these movements is carried out, with a special reference to the real goals and beneficiaries of this type of activity on the global level. A connection is traced between the origination of the said movements and actual state of the global scientific discourse on the climate change issues, including the anthropogenic warming hypothesis. Special attention is paid to the reaction of the world and European elites to the situation with coronavirus, including the new approaches, comparing the effects of global warming with those of coronavirus pandemic. Attempts to counter the shift of the global agenda from the climate change issues to the real action against global coronavirus pandemic, carried out both at the EU level and at the global level are discussed. New EU goals in the area of GHG emission reduction, set forth in the EU State of the Union address of September 16, 2020, are analyzed, in parallel with the assessment of the economic situation in the EU countries after the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic and the EU activities during this period.

Interpreting the Aeneid in terms of symbols is nowadays a fashionable and respectable procedure. It can also be highly dangerous, as some of its practitioners frankly admit. For example, Michael C. J. Putnam writes: ‘Any attempt, however sympathetic and careful, to delineate or clarify a poet's special, often private, symbolism, is subject to many hazards. I am not unaware of the difficulties of moving over a terrain wherein the already subtle boundary-line which separates critic from creator grows dimmer still.’ A sterner warning comes from Robert A. Brooks at the beginning of his article on the Golden Bough: ‘The oak-spirit and the King of the Wood, the mistletoe and the Queen of the Dead are all impressive concepts. But if the “real meaning” of the golden bough lies in these or near them, then Vergil must be considered an artist after the fashion of the late David Belasco, who painted the back of his stage sets as well as the front. What is happening on the stage or in the poem we may suspect to be illusory or subsidiary; the real action may be taking place in the carefully prepared but invisible recesses of the scene, approachable only by those who have a pass backstage. This is not Vergil's method …’ The warning should be heeded, even though the writer is citing an extreme case.

This chapter shows that, while economists were fretting over incentives, the real action was taking place unremarked under their noses. When the major crash that Lindbeck predicted finally occurred, it had nothing to do with work incentives or the welfare state. Like the global financial crisis of 2007–2008, of which it might be considered a precursor, the Swedish (and indeed, the wider Nordic) crash originated in finance. Sweden (with the rest of Scandinavia) resisted the lure of financial liberalization until the mid-1980s, and when it succumbed, punishment came quickly. A severe financial crisis in the early 1990s was almost entirely the result of this liberalization, which also became the opportunity for a modest application of the ‘incentives’ agenda, leaving, however, much of the Social Democratic welfare state intact.

This chapter shows the steps whereby the tenant for years came to be protected against his lessor, and thereby to acquire an estate in land; the lease, though a chattel, became a ‘chattel real’. This required an act of judicial legislation in turning the trespassory action of ejectment – for ejecting a lessee from possession - into a real action by which the ejected lessee could be restored to possession. Ejectment was then seen to work more effectively than the real actions and assizes available to freeholders, and so a way was found of using it to displace them. Its perfection as an action for freeholders involved an elaborate fantasy with imaginary parties and imaginary leases; the procedure is illustrated. Finally, there are discussions about the possibility of creating entails and future estates in terms of years.

Papua’s development m us t be considered in developing Indonesia. It is the unity in Bhineka Tunggal Ika. The equality and justice in striving the people’s prosperity is also important for Indonesian people. Pancasila is the basis of the nation, which explains the five principles that have a power in developing Indonesia towards a “Mutual Cooperation ( Gotong Royong )” society. The fifth principle, the justice for all Indonesian people shows that it is Soekarno’s idea of how the people can relish the existence of justice and prosperity in both formal and non - formal fields which leads to mutual cooperation. It is implemented in Jokowi’s era which is building and developing the marginalized areas, from Sabang to Merauke, esp ecially the neglected areas. This is the time to realize the real action for Papua to gain justice although the challenges and obstacles that will be faced are not easy. Injustice, marginalization, and sub - culture are often being the starting points of var ious crimes and violences in Papua. The Violence Armed Group ( Kelompok Kekerasan Bersenjata ) uses those three variables as the reasons for committing various forms of violences and politically frame it with the desire to escape from Indonesia. The governme nt and the ruling regime are in charge to keep increasing the development in Papua. It is all for the sake of justice, equality, and prosperity for Papua’s people.

To be honest, I backed into the academic profession after trying almost everything else. Until then, I perceived the academic’s work as a disconnection in symbolic spheres, "merely academic". Only as I came to recognise that concepts are the governors of action did I realize that the real action was thinking through the life-blind programs I saw all around me. Since thinking through is the vocation of the university, that is where I ended up. But I am getting ahead of myself.
