It refers to the process of outsourcing of activities to an online community or crowd in the form of an open call.

This phenomenon is increasingly noticed in the field of advertising where companies have started generating ideas and strategies of advertisement from crowd, for a better realistic approach.

Engaging people in preparing for inevitable climate change may help them to improve their own safety and contribute to local and national adaptation objectives. However, existing research shows that individual engagement with adaptation is low. One contributing factor to this might be that public discourses on climate change often seems dominated by overly negative and seemingly pre-determined visions of the future. Futures thinking intends to counter this by re-presenting the future as choice contingent and inclusive of other possible and preferable outcomes. Here, we undertook storytelling workshops with participants from the West Yorkshire region of the U.K. They were asked to write fictional adaptation futures stories which: opened by detailing their imagined story world, moved to events that disrupted those worlds, provided a description of who responded and how and closed with outcomes and learnings from the experience. We found that many of the stories envisioned adaptation as a here-and-now phenomenon, and that good adaptation meant identifying and safeguarding things of most value. However, we also found notable differences as to whether the government, local community or rebel groups were imagined as leaders of the responsive actions, and as to whether good adaptation meant maintaining life as it had been before the disruptive events occurred or using the disruptive events as a catalyst for social change. We suggest that the creative futures storytelling method tested here could be gainfully applied to support adaptation planning across local, regional and national scales.

An education is successful not because of one party from the school alone, but the success of an education is also related to the relationship between the school and the government, family and community relations as well. Therefore school or education is a shared responsibility between schools, the community and also the government, in helping those who provide the needs needed by education in the administration of school and community relations. If the parents of students participate in the school, then the school has succeeded in convincing and giving answers to the parents of these students, because so far the parents often think negatively about the school if there is a meeting invitation to the school, they also ask for help with money remove it, and therefore they are reluctant to attend the meeting invitation.Parent participation of students with the school in school and community administration is about empowering the community with the school, the community is very important in the world of education in the future in the administration of school and community relations. How schools can convince the community or the community how to ensure schools can convince the community and the community if you want the school can convince the community and the community, this school can help success in inviting and giving direction and guiding, and also maintaining the school is a shared responsibility between the school and Public.

The article analyses post-crisis methods and models of European integration that are at the center of political debate in the EU leading member-states. The current debate about the future of European integration is often portrayed as a choice between the federalist and intergovernmental approaches. The reality is far more complex, since European integration at its late stage is a combination of all integration methods. Nowadays it is more expedient to speak about flexible integration, or "variable geometry" that constitutes the most realistic approach to the post-crisis EU. The euro crisis led to a massive transfer of power to the EU level, and made political union a genuine possibility. However, although pro-Europeans now agree that political union is necessary to save the euro, they often have in mind very different things. Three models – asymmetric integration, full-fledged federation and two-speed Europe – are being discussed by the EU analysts and policy-makers. Whatever the future model, it is clear that it will require finding a balance between the greater flexibility and the rules that would allow EU to claim legitimacy for its actions.

The Puebla meeting of the Latin American bishops in early 1979 capped a decade of far-reaching and surprising change in the Catholic Church. A new, local-level unit—the “ecclesial base community” or CEB—has given Catholicism a vitality in society it has not known for centuries. At the same time, the Church has achieved an unprecedented integration as an institution nationally and regionally, in Latin America as a whole. It has found itself, through an unexpected historical dynamic, increasingly committed to the cause of the poor in deed as well as word, And it has been thrust into political confrontations with state authority throughout the region with an intensity and scope unmatched since the nineteenth century.

In a historical situation characterised by crisis, wars and widespread protests the question of the relationship between past Left-revolutionary endeavours and present political challenges is of utmost importance for the possibility of mounting an anti-systemic challenge to capitalism. T. J. Clark’s essay ‘For a Left with No Future’ argues that the future-oriented stance of the 19th and 20th Century Left turned the Left into a disastrous dobbel- gänger of capitalist modernity causing havoc and death instead of being a genuine opposition to capitalism. The great refusals have to be replaced with a ‘modest’ and more ‘realistic’ approach, Clark argues, enabling the Left to understand the human propensity to violence and therefore engaging in a kind of anti-war activism. This article rejects Clark’s analysis and tries to save the revolutionary perspective Clark is trying to get rid of arguing that it is indeed the Left that we have to bury. Juxtaposing Clark’s argument with a reading of Michèle Bernstein’s ‘Victories of the Proletariat’ made as part of the 1963 Situationist exhibition ‘Destruction of RSG-6’ the article attempts to contribute to the re-formulation of a contemporary revolutionary position on the basis of the breakdown of the programmatic Left.

Distribution of the estate is one of the most important issues in the human life. The property acquired through the distribution of the estate can lead to an individual’s future. Some people assume that property is used as measure of the success of a person’s life, so there will be room for the disputation in the authority of the estate. The existence of a dispute in the inheritance division takes place in various forms, some of the which caused the inheritance to be divided only after so long as the inherited person died, some also due to the uncertain estate position, and some of the heirs who deliberately committed crucial documents such as death letter, agreement letter and soon. The delay in applying for settlement of the estate after the death of the property owner (deceased) is a common phenomenon occurring in our society. Many cases are not properly addressed by the heirs and have not been resolved immediately even though the death has taken place for several years. There are certain cases which took decades to complete, and even death cases that took place before the Japanese occupation period had not yet been resolved. The community of ours seems to be trivial about the settlement and division of this estate. They seem to be unaware that the postponement in the division creates a very large legal and law. Any estate that left by the deceased should be manage as soon as possible to avoid any other problem that might be occur in the future. There are several applicants who are eligible to apply and manage the estate by the deceased in the Small Estate Distribution Act 1955. Section 8 (1) of the Small Estate Distribution Act provides for the parties who may apply, one of them is head of community or penghulu or placement officer. This paper will discuss the roles of penghulu to assist the community in management of estate, especially unclaimed estate.
