Nomenclatural corrections and comments are provided on several taxa of Chenopodiaceae occurring in the Himalayas and Xizang/Tibet and adjacent areas, following the recent monographic revision of the family in that region and earlier publications. In particular, the original identity of the name Atriplex bengalensis (Chenopodium bengalense) is discussed and it is confirmed, based on additional evidence, that the name was originally (before its epitypification in 2014) applicable to a robust diploid of the Chenopodium ficifolium aggregate, not to the robust hexaploid currently known as C. giganteum. It is thus also concluded that the recent proposal by Mosyakin and Mandák (2018) to conserve the name C. giganteum with a conserved type corresponding to the current understanding and application of that name will best serve nomenclatural stability. A nomenclatural solution alternative to the proposal to reject the name A. bengalensis might be the following: (1) to conserve the name Atriplex bengalensis with a conserved C. ficifolium against C. bengalense. The nomenclaturally paradoxical situation with the names Chenopodium pallidum, C. harae, and Atriplex pallida (all now considered homotypic, as justified by Mosyakin and McNeill in 2018), which emerged from the conflicting lectotypification and epitypification of the name C. pallidum, is revisited and reconsidered. Possible options for dealing with that nomenclatural problem are outlined: (1) keeping the status quo, (2) proposing to conserve the name C. pallidum with a conserved type other than the standing lectotype, and (3) proposing to reject the name C. pallidum. The last option is considered preferable. Additional considerations are presented on a possible taxonomic identity of Chenopodium strictum as originally described by Roth; it is confirmed that that name was misapplied to a widespread Eurasian tetraploid species now properly known as C. betaceum. The identity of the name Bassia fiedleri is discussed; being a replacement name for Echinopsilon divaricatum, it is homotypic with Bassia divaricata (Kar. & Kir.) Kuntze (nom. illeg., non F. Muell.) and is a taxonomic synonym of Grubovia dasiphylla (as correctly stated by Kadereit and Freitag in 2011), but not a synonym of Bassia scoparia. Several comments on type designations of selected taxa of Chenopodiaceae from the Sino-Himalayan region are provided as well; e.g., for Acroglochin persicarioides and associated names, Chenopodium karoi, and Salsola monoptera.

Majuro, Marshall Islands: CreateSpace. 2015. 153 pp. ISBN 978-1-512235-58-6Giff Johnson’s latest work, Idyllic No More: Pacific Islands Climate, Corruption and Development Dilemmas, is a call to serious planning and more. The Marshall Islands Journal editor summons leaders to recognise that life has changed in the country and the status quo is the road to disaster. There was a time when this might not have been true—when people who wanted to kick back and live a simple island life could quietly opt out of school and retire to the family land to provide for themselves as their ancestors had done for generations in an island society that offered the resources, physical and social, to support its population.

The Status

This research work seeks to bring into view the status quo of the Yoruba customary system of inheritance, which is to some extent opposed to the Islamic legal system of inheritance. This is because it is observed that the Yoruba customary system is characterized by some oppression and injustice. Some eligible persons are being deprived their shares like the woman, children and so on. As it is known that Islamic legal rulings have come to put an end to the Pre-Islamic orders in all affairs, transactions and personal laws, including the inheritance. Allah prescribed them all for mankind to eliminate oppression and establish justice among the individuals and groups in the family and the society. Despite the fact that Muslims are in Majority in Yorubaland, Nigeria, most of the Muslims continue to practice the customary system of Inheritance, where some estates are being neglected and not shared, or enjoyed by the people who are not entitled to them.

The question of whether Grand Duke Alexander Pavlovich was aware of or involved in the conspiracy against his father remains today as highly polemic as it was in the 19th c. The author claims that research into the reputational culture of the imperial court could change the status quo. The mock tragedy Podshchipa [or Trumf], penned by a young Ivan Krylov for the family of his benefactors, who had been banished from the capital by the Emperor, is a curious reflection on the real social capital of Paul I's heirs - Alexander and his spouse Elisabeth - and is devoted to the overthrow of the antihero Trumf, traditionally believed to represent Paul himself.A comparison between Krylov's characters and contemporary narratives like personal letters, diaries, and political pamphlets reveals an insider view of an impending political crisis, as witnessed by a Russian person in 1800.

The oft-criticized ambiguity of the Family Protection Endorsement S.E.F. No. 441 has resulted in another Alberta Court of Appeal decision which holds that there are, essentially, two triggers regarding the “discoverability” limitation in clause 6(c) of the endorsement. While the Court preserved the potential that some claims against insurers will be barred prior to settlement or judgment, the consistency of the approach reduces uncertainty about when the limitation period begins to run, minimizing the risk of precautionary claims against insurers.

  Abstract Political dynasties can be understood as a political strategy to maintain power by passing down the power that has been held by others who are still among relatives. First, the stagnation of the cadre of political parties in capturing qualified regional head candidates, thus creating political pragmatism by encouraging relatives the regional head's family to become a public official. Second, the context of the community that maintains the status quo conditions in the region that want the regional head to rule by encouraging the family or people close to the regional head to replace detention. Political dynasty is a negative excess of regional autonomy that makes hijacked democracy by the circulation of genealogical core relations, based on kinship relations and outside of genealogical lines that have an interest in perpetuating family power. In practice, the actualization of political dynasties is carried out with several perspectives, namely neopatrimonialism, political clan, and political predators.  The development of political dynasty at the local level can also be interpreted as a form of local 'Cendanaisasi'. The term cendanaisasi refers to the Cendana Family during the 32 years of President Soeharto's leadership which was very powerful in Indonesia's political economy. All key government posts are controlled by children, sons-in-law, nephews, and other relatives, so that this power becomes lasting for three decades of government. This pattern is actually being developed and exemplified by local elite families that the local democratic process can be traced by placing relatives in regional strategic positions. Keywords: Local Politics, Dynasty, Regional Government  Abstrak Dinasti politik dapat dipahami sebagai strategi politik untuk tetap menjaga kekuasaan dengan cara mewariskan kekuasaan yang telah digenggam kepada orang lain yang masih merupakan kalangan sanak keluarga, Pertama, macetnya kaderisasi partai politik dalam menjaring calon kepala daerah yang berkualitas, sehingga menciptakan pragmatisme politik dengan mendorong kalangan sanak keluarga kepala daerah untuk menjadi pejabat publik. Kedua, konteks masyarakat yang menjaga adanya kondisi status quo di daerahnya yang menginginkan kepala daerah untuk berkuasa dengan cara mendorong kalangan keluarga atau orang dekat kepala daerah menggantikan petahanan. Dinasti Politik merupakan ekses negatif dari otonomi daerah yang menjadikan demokrasi terbajak (hijacked democracy) oleh sirkulasi hubungan inti genealogis, berdasarkan relasi kekeluargaan maupun di luar garis genealogis yang memiliki kepentingan terhadap pelanggengan kekuasaan family. Dalam prakteknya sendiri aktualisasi dinasti politik dilakukan dengan beberapa sudut pandang yaitu neopatrimonialisme, klan politik, dan predator politik. Berkembangnya dinasti politik di tingkat lokal juga bisa ditafsirkan sebagai bentuk ‘Cendanaisasi’ lokal. Istilah cendanaisasi merujuk pada Keluarga Cendana semasa 32 tahun kepemimpinan Presiden Soeharto yang sangat berkuasa dalam ekonomi-politik Indonesia. Semua pos-pos kunci pemerintahan dikuasai anak, menantu, kemenakan, maupun kerabat lainnya, sehingga kekuasaan tersebut menjadi langgeng selama tiga dekade pemerintahan. Pola itulah yang sebenarnya sedang berkembang dan dicontoh oleh para keluarga elit lokal bahwa proses demokrasi lokal bisa ditelikung dengan menempatkan kerabat dalam posisi strategis daerah. Kata Kunci: Politik local, Dinasti, Pemerintahan daerah

The article offers the results obtained in a study where, through the application of a survey and the development of a discussion forum with students from education majors, information about their perceptions with regard to four axes related to the future of the teaching profession was obtained, as follows: the teacher profile, the student characteristics, the participation of the family and the community in the education process and the curricular changes.  From the study, it can be observed  that the family and the community are perceived as the organizations with greater trends towards change as a consequence of the technological development and the globalization processes of societies, whilst the teacher profile, the concept of student, of school and curricula, tend to remain within the status quo. The perceptions shown by the future teachers who participated in the study demand relevant changes in the training processes of the education professionals.
