Abstract Global expressivism is the radical view that we should never think of any of our language and thought as representing the world. While interesting, global expressivism has not yet been clearly formulated, and its defenders often use unexplained terms of art to characterise their view. I fix this problem by carefully and clearly exploring the different ways in which we can interpret globalism. I reject almost all of them either because they are implausible or because they are bad interpretations of actual globalist views. I then argue that the most promising version of globalism, which we can find in the work of Huw Price, turns out to be completely compatible with the view of so-called ‘local’ expressivists. The debate between globalists and localists is therefore empty: the real interest in this topic lies not in this debate but in whether globalism is true and if so what follows from it.

We can rightly say that sport is the real source of multiculturalism, as it connects different people from different countries into a world community. Everybody finds enjoyment either in participating or in watching different sports events. Sport reduces stress and is especially important in lives of children because it enhances their self-confidence and keeps them healthy and fit. The language of sport is rich and encompasses different terms and expressions which are mainly internationally known and accepted without translation in almost all the countries of the world of today. The paper deals with different categories of words and their production, as well as with the specific idioms and phrases which appear in particular sports.

The increasing number of Muslims in Europe gave rise to a hijaber phenomenon that no longer fears to show a religious identity by using hijab. However, conditions that are still less support actually positioned these hijabers in situations that are less comfortable. Discriminatory treatment is still often they receive only because they are veiled, both from family and from the surrounding environment, especially the rejection received by the converts. This rejection of hijab is primarily due to the phenomenon of Islamophobia that infects almost all countries in the world, including in Europe. This paper aims to capture the discrimination and discriminatory treatment experienced by the hijabers in the Netherlands as well as the real effort they are undertaking to respond to this challenge, one of their efforts is to innovate models and creations of hijab, so that hijab is no longer the reason for the treatment Discriminatory against them.<br />---<br /><br />Meningkatnya jumlah pemeluk Islam di Eropa memunculkan fenomena hijaber yang tidak lagi merasa takut untuk menunjukkan identitas keberagamaan dengan menggunakan hijab. Namun, kondisi yang masih kurang mendukung justru memposisikan para hijaber ini dalam situasi yang kurang nyaman. Perlakuan yang diskriminatif masih sering mereka terima hanya karena mereka berhijab, baik dari keluarga maupun dari lingkungan sekitar, terutama penolakan yang diterima para muallaf. Penolakan terhadap hijab ini terutama disebabkan oleh fenomena islamopobia yang menjangkiti hampir seluruh negara di dunia, termasuk di Eropa. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memotret penolakan dan perlakuan diskriminatif yang dialami oleh para hijaber di Belanda serta usaha nyata yang mereka lakukan untuk menjawab tantangan ini, salah satu usaha yang mereka lakukan adalah dengan inovasi berbagai model dan kreasi hijab, sehingga hijab tidak lagi menjadi alasan atas perlakuan diskriminatif terhadap mereka.

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.

 The 4-H Citizenship Project offers the opportunity to help 4-H members relate all of their 4-H projects and experiences to the world around them. The 4-H Citizenship manuals will serve as a guide for 4-H Citizenship experiences. To be truly meaningful to the real-life needs and interests of your group, the contribution of volunteer leaders is essential. Each person, neighborhood, and community has individual needs that you can help your group identify. This 14-page major revision of Unit IV covers the heritage project. Written by John Rutledge, Joy C. Jordan, and Dale Pracht and published by the UF/IFAS Extension 4-H Youth Development program. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/4h019

The Thomas More Society of Buenos Aires begins or ends almost all its events by reciting in both English and Spanish a prayer written by More in the margins of his Book of Hours probably while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. After a short history of what is called Thomas More’s Prayer Book, the author studies the prayer as a poem written in the form of a psalm according to the structure of Hebrew poetry, and looks at the poem’s content as a psalm of lament.

In the world auto market, top three companies are VW(Volkswagen), Runault-Nissan-Mistubishi, and Toyota. About some selected countries and areas, China, England, Italy, Australia, Germany, Turkey, Russia, Sweden, USA, Brazil, UAE, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand are more competitive. However, the situation is different. Seeing monopolistic market countries and areas, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, France, India, and Pakistan, in particular, the influence of Japan to Taiwan, India, and Pakistan is very big. But in Korea and France, their own companies’ brands occupy the market. In Japan domestic market, the overall situation is competitive. Almost all vehicles made in Japan are Japanese brand. From now on, we have to note the development of electric vehicle (EV) and other new technologies such as automatic driving and connected car. That is because they will give a great impact on the auto industry and market of Japan. Now Japan’s auto industry is going to be consolidated into three groups, Honda, Toyota group, and Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi group for seeking the scale merit of economy. Therefore, I will pay attention to the worldwide development of EV and other new technologies and the reorganization of auto companies groups.

Conceptual Foundations

The main content of the work consists of certain systematization and addition of longexisting, but eventually deformed and partly lost qualitative ideas about the role of thermal and wind factors that determine the physical mechanism of the World Ocean’s General Circulation System (OGCS). It is noted that the conceptual foundations of the theory of the OGCS in one form or another are contained in the works of many well-known hydrophysicists of the last century, but the aggregate, logically coherent description of the key factors determining the physical model of the OGCS in the public literature is not so easy to find. An attempt is made to clarify and concretize some general ideas about the two key blocks that form the basis of an adequate physical model of the system of oceanic water masses motion in a climatic scale. Attention is drawn to the fact that when analyzing the OGCS it is necessary to take into account not only immediate but also indirect effects of thermal and wind factors on the ocean surface. In conclusion, it is noted that, in the end, by the uneven flow of heat to the surface of the ocean can be explained the nature of both external and almost all internal factors, in one way or another contributing to the excitation of the general, or climatic, ocean circulation.
