A note to our content creators

A note to our content creators Hello Creators,   We’d like to clarify some expectations about the BAT grants that we make available to Brave users.   First, some basics. We’ve built Brave Rewards to make it possible for Brave users to reward content creators for content they love. If you use your own BAT with Brave Rewards, it will get delivered to the verified creators you choose. Full stop.   Grants are a bit different. The BAT that we use for grants comes from Brave’s User Growth Pool (UGP). We’ve made grants available so Brave users can easily experience Brave Rewards before Brave Ads is ready to pay users in BAT. We’re taking this opportunity to outline some common-sense restrictions on the use of grants to keep them in alignment with the overall goals for Brave Rewards.   We want to make sure that grants are being used to reward content creators that people — actual human beings — love. When it comes to grants, we care a great deal about whether contributions are made by real people — and that they are being contributed to actual content creators.   As a Brave Publisher:   Please do: ​Use Brave and accept your grants Auto-contribute to the sites you visit in Brave Tip the (other) creators you visit and enjoy Create great content that people enjoy   But do not: Create dummy sites or channels without real content, just to collect contributions from Brave users Install multiple copies of Brave to claim multiple grants Use any mechanism that results in a Brave browser contributing to your site automatically, without a deliberate action by the user of the browser   Promoting Brave is incredibly important to us, and we reward that promotion through our referral program, not individual BAT grants. Our referral program rewards people who try out Brave and choose to stick with it — not mass downloads by bots.   There’s exactly one way to earn BAT from grants: by making amazing content that people enjoy. Anything else will lead to your account being flagged for fraud, and you’ll be locked out of the BAT Publishers system.   Thanks for all the wonderful things you make, - The Brave Rewards team Log in Brave Rewards is made by the fine folks at Brave Browser and powered by the Basic Attention Token. View the Terms of Service.

Due to its complexity, the smart city domain should embrace a reference architectural model which facilitates coherent capabilities of the interacting application, and infrastructure's capabilities in a certain geographical area from one side and their relevant business users from the other side. Limited reference architectural models were proposed for smart city purposes. However, they lacked coherency, practicality, or quality. This paper discusses the empirical findings of smart cities derived from the literature review articles, investigates Bahrain's readiness for smartness, and proposes the development of a Bahraini Smart City-Technological Reference Architectural Model (BSC-TRAM), based on the insights of federal enterprise architecture framework. The BSC-TRAM was developed based on data collected from 10 public, semi-public, and private organizations, through literature review, interviews, and website content analysis. Findings revealed the availability of 17 Business functions which serve 17 public ministries, 16 directorates, 35 bodies, and 18 private economic units. Also, results revealed 26 application functions and 130 applications categories, and 7 infrastructure functions and 18 infrastructures categories. "Cultural Values in the Light of Modernity: An Anthropological Observations Among the Nyishi Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh"  Online International Interdisciplinary Research Journal, ISSN 2249-9598, Volume-09, Issue-02, Mar-Apr 2019 TAME RAMYA (TARH), Rajiv Gandhi University Email: taramya@live.com People and culture are inseparable since there is no denying the fact that what makes any human society is its culture; a Latin word which was derived from "colore" meaning to practice or cherish. For a society to be societal, it must be cultural, therefore, society and culture are also intertwined. The culture of any society is the way of life of its members; the collection of their ideas and habits which they learn, share, and transmit from one generation to the other. In fact, culture is a blueprint for living held by members of a particular society. Tribals are grossly endowed with rich and unprecedented cultural values with which harmony, solidarity, orderliness, sanctity and sanity are ensured within their community. Despite the fact that there were no trained and armed security officers in the olden days as we have today, yet their communities were void of chaos. In view of this, this paper is set to examine some of these tribal cultural values and how the force of modernity has influenced its observance with a particular reference to the Nyishi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh. An attempt also will be made to discuss the concept of modernity and equally on how tribal cultural values were enforced in the traditional societies. In conclusion, recommendations will be made on the need to revive the tribal cultural values as a panacea to the high level of moral decadence in the contemporary tribal societies. "Comparative Anti-Corruption Reform Approaches and Institutionalization in Public Bureaucracies in Developing Countries: A Review"  GEDION ONYANGO, University of Nairobi - Department of Political Science & Public Administration Email: onyangojr@gmail.com With a change in neo-liberalists' priorities in the global south, a shift from input-output democracy and a fuzzy relationship between democratisation and quality-of-government, has anti-corruption policy movement sizzled-out, especially, considering the popularity of Chinese Aid and the fact that Western donors have seemingly severed anti-corruption reforms from Aid-conditionalities for developing countries? This article shows that the triumph of neo-liberalism as an analytical discourse, mainly, in Anglophone Africa, only explicates the saliency of anti-corruption reforms whose institutional-foundations trace to English's Prevention of Corruption Ordinance, 1916. Often times, anti-corruption reform-approaches tie the genesis of accruing institutions or policies to neo-liberalism, while inattentive to their colonial-heritage and endogenous developments, especially, legislation environments, which also influence unique organizational evolution of Anti-Corruption Authorities (ACAs). It is also shown that albeit anti-corruption reforms have practically become a non-issue in governments of developing regions, that is, they have typically featured double-talks and rather symbolic commitments, they have potentially elicited critical lessons on institutionalization and enhancement of ethical-climate in public bureaucracies. In explicating these developments, therefore, ubiquity of anti-corruption policies is presented and corroborated with the case of Kenya, mainly, to generate insightful analysis and to broadly address the state-of-affairs of anti-corruption reforms across sub-Saharan. "The Incorporation of the System of Non-Party Caretaker Government in the Constitution of Bangladesh in 1996 as a Means of Strengthening Democracy, Its Deletion in 2011 and the Lapse of Bangladesh into Tyranny Following the Non-Participatory General Election of 2014: A Critical Appraisal"  Transnational Law & Contemporary Problems, Vol. 28, 2018 M. EHTESHAMUL BARI, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia - Deakin Law School Email: mebari@deakin.edu.au The incumbent governments in most parliamentary democracies conventionally perform in a caretaker capacity the routine functions of the government during the interim period between the conclusion of the term of a parliament and the election of a new one and ensure that such election is held in an impartial manner. In Bangladesh, the failure of successive political governments to conduct free and fair general elections impeded the institutionalization of the concept of democracy as envisaged by the Constitution of Bangladesh, 1972. This ultimately necessitated the enactment of the Constitution (Thirteenth Amendment) Act in 1996, which inserted provisions in the Constitution providing for the establishment of a Non-Party Care-Taker Government upon the dissolution of the Parliament, a concept peculiar to Bangladesh. This government was to be headed by the last retired Chief Justice of the nation, and had the principle mandate of assisting the Election Commission to conduct the general election in a free, fair and impartial manner within 90 days of the dissolution of the Parliament. Consequently, the elections held under the supervision of neutral 'Care-Taker' Governments in 1996, 2001, and 2008 respectively were widely regarded as free and fair, thereby strengthening democracy in the nation. However, on the basis of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court's one-page long "short order" declaring the amendment unconstitutional, the government, led by the Awami League which held an overwhelming majority in Parliament on July 3, 2011, repealed the provisions for the Non-Party Caretaker Government. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that the ruling party repealed of the Non-Party Caretaker Government to perpetuate its grip on power as the repeal facilitated the holding of a virtually voter-less and one-sided election in January 2014. It will be further shown that the absence of any democratic accountability has, subsequently, facilitated the establishment of a tyrannical regime in Bangladesh. Accordingly, this Article puts forward a number of recommendations for ensuring the revival of participatory democracy and for preventing the nation from further sinking into the lap of tyranny. "Don't Mention the War! Second World War Remembrance and Support for European Cooperation"  CATHERINE E. DE VRIES, VU University Amsterdam - Department of Political Science and Public Administration Email: devries.cat@gmail.com At the core of the European project is the idea that through increased state cooperation and dependency, national divisions can be overcome and peace can be secured on the European continent. National and European elites often make reference to past devastations of the Second World War (WWII) in order to convey the added value of European cooperation among the public. Does WWII remembrance enhance public support for European cooperation? By presenting evidence from a set of novel survey experiments conducted in the six largest member states (France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom) in July 2017, this contribution shows that reminding people of the devastations of WWII, increases support for their country's cooperation within the European Union (EU) today. Yet, only when it comes to providing assistance for other member states in dire economic need. Reminding people of the devastations of WWII does not make people more willing to extend the rights to EU migrants or contribute to the establishment of an European army. These findings are important as they suggest that WWII remembrance triggers a largely transactional response among the public, a willingness to provide financial support combined with an unwillingness to embrace intra-EU migration or security cooperation. This evidence suggests that securing public support for further deepening of free movement of people and European security cooperation through historical rhetoric might be difficult to achieve. "Litigating Indigenous Peoples' Rights in Africa: Potentials, Challenges and Limitations"  JEREMIE GILBERT, University of Roehampton Email: jeremie.gilbert@roehampton.ac.uk Adopting a comparative analysis, this article examines some recent litigation which has focused on indigenous peoples' rights across the African continent. The aim is to explore both the potential and the challenges and limitations of litigation as a tool for supporting the rights of indigenous peoples. The article explores the extent to which a specific African jurisprudence is emerging on issues that are essential to indigenous peoples such as non-discrimination, self-identification, land rights and development. It also focuses on the practical issues that arise when engaging with litigation in order to explore the extent to which litigation can contribute to the legal empowerment of some of the most marginalized indigenous communities in Africa. ^top About this eJournal Supported by: American Anthropological Association (AAA) This eJournal distributes working and accepted paper abstracts of studies of specific culture areas.

However, since Congress passed a series of landmark environmental statutes in the 1970s, scholars have primarily equated environmental law with federal law. To the extent that scholars consider sub-national sources of environmental law, they typically focus on states, rather than cities. This article shines a light on the role of cities in contemporary environmental law. It argues that major American cities are currently reviving cities' historical role as leaders in environmental lawmaking, and proposes mechanisms for expanding their scope to innovate within the framework that the 1970s federal environmental statutes established. The article makes three significant contributions to existing literature. First, it resurrects the little-known history of early municipal efforts to protect their environments, which attests to cities' long-standing interest in environmental matters. Second, the article incorporates an original survey of environmental policies that cities have developed in recent years, which demonstrates the breadth of lawmaking that has largely been overlooked. Third, the article offers a framework for conceptualizing the interplay between federal, state and local laws and suggests strategies for finding greater space for municipal policy experimentation within the jurisdictional authority that cities possess. "Relinquishing Riches: Auctions vs Informal Negotiations in Texas Oil and Gas Leasing"  University of Chicago, Becker Friedman Institute for Economics Working Paper No. 2019-52 THOMAS COVERT, University of Chicago - Booth School of Business Email: thomas.covert@chicagobooth.edu RICHARD SWEENEY, Boston College - Department of Economics Email: sweeneri@bc.edu This paper compares outcomes from informally negotiated oil and gas leases to those awarded via centralized auction. We use data on all contractual characteristics and production outcomes for a class of state-owned mineral rights overlying newly dis- covered shale formations in Texas, between 2005 and 2016. On roughly three quarters of this land, the Texas Relinquishment Act of 1919 authorizes private individuals who own surface-only rights to negotiate mineral leases on behalf of the public in exchange for half of the proceeds. The remainder are allocated via centralized auctions. Using variation from this natural experiment, we find that almost a century after leasing mechanisms were assigned, auctioned leases generate 67% larger up-front payments than negotiated leases do. The two mechanisms also allocate mineral rights to different oil and gas companies, and leases allocated by auction are 44% more productive. These results are consistent with theoretical intuitions that centralized, formal mechanisms, like auctions, outperform decentralized and informal mechanisms, in both seller revenues and allocative efficiency. Our findings have important implications for the more than $3 trillion of minerals owned by private individuals in the US, the vast majority of which transact in informal and decentralized settings. "Energy and Investing"  BRADFORD CORNELL, California Institute of Technology Email: bcornell@hss.caltech.edu This paper examines some of the investment implications of what is called the "great transformation" by which renewable sources of energy replace the current reliance on carbon-based fuels. To set the stage, the paper begins by presenting detailed data on past, current and forecast future energy usage. The data imply that the great transformation will be very expensive. The paper then turns to the question of how the transformation will be financed. It is argued that the political environment will be an important determinant of the financing form. "Collaborating Through NEPA: Achieving a Social License to Operate on Federal Public Lands"  Public Land & Resources Law Review, Vol. 39, 2018 TEMPLE STOELLINGER, University of Wyoming - School of Environment & Natural Resources, University of Wyoming College of Law Email: tstoelli@uwyo.edu L. STEVEN SMUTKO, University of Wyoming - School of Environment & Natural Resources Email: steve.smutko@uwyo.edu JESSICA M. WESTERN, University of Wyoming - School of Environment & Natural Resources Email: jessica.western@uwyo.edu As demand and consumption of natural gas increases, so will drilling operations to extract the natural gas on federal public lands. Fueled by the shale gas revolution, natural gas drilling operations are now frequently taking place, not only in the highly documented urban settings, but also on federal public lands with high conservation value. The phenomenon of increased drilling in sensitive locations, both urban and remote, has sparked increased public opposition, requiring oil and gas producers to reconsider how they engage the public. Oil and gas producers have increasingly deployed the concept of a social license to operate to gain support from the public and the communities in which they operate. A social license to operate is a voluntary license granted by communities, obligating companies to go above and beyond the requirements of their legal license to operate. While natural gas developers have increasingly sought to achieve a social license to operate in urban settings, such as the Colorado Front Range, there has been little use of this approach by operators drilling on federal public land. We advocate for the use of increased collaboration with affected stakeholders and communities through the NEPA process as a means to achieve a social license to operate on federal public land. ^top About this eJournal Supported by: American Anthropological Association (AAA) This eJournal distributes working and accepted paper abstracts of environmental anthropology, including all studies that address nature-culture divides, borders, and interactions.
