  THE LAW OF ARMS IN NEW ZEALAND
Until an independent New Zealand heraldic authority is created, receiving from the Crown a direct delegation of the royal prerogative to grant arms, the proper and legally correct authorities to grant arms in New Zealand are the kings of arms and heralds the College of Arms.
(122) As is indicated by cl 50 of the Statutes of the New Zealand Order of Merit (SR 1996/205) (recognition of grants of arms by Garter King of Arms), and by the appointment of New Zealand Herald by warrant of the Earl Marshal.
New Zealand recognises this Royal prerogative and the authority of the Earl Marshal and Kings of Arms.

 Order of precedence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Donations are tax-deductible in the U.S. Daily report
An order of precedence is a sequential hierarchy of nominal importance of people; it is used by many organizations and governments.
One's position in an order of precedence is not necessarily an indication of functional importance, but rather an indication of ceremonial or historical relevance; for instance, it may dictate where dignitaries are seated at formal dinners.

 The Monarchy Today > The Queen's role > Sovereign as Fountain of Honour > Order of The Thistle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
It is possible that the Order may have been founded by James III (1488-1513), who was responsible for changes in royal symbolism in Scotland, including the adoption of the thistle as the royal plant badge.
It is said that James V bestowed the insignia of the 'Order of the Burr or Thissil' on Francis I of France in 1535.
The chapel for the Order was to be at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where James II had issued instructions in 1687 for the Abbey Church to be converted into the Chapel Royal and the Chapel of the Order.

 The New Order Of The Latter Rain
From the very beginning of the New Order movement in the prophecy of the coed student on the first day of the February four-day move, prophecy and other charismata were the basis of belief and action.
New Order worshippers erred in a manner common to many Pentecostals: they gave undue deference to the spectacular and the ecstatic; and not enough to the serious, scholarly, exegetical study of the written Scriptures.
Though the New Order brethren possessed a vision for a variety of Christian educational institutions, in their haste they established none that survived, but instead they destroyed the one school they did operate.

 About Fiji : History & Culture : Pre-history - Fiji Visitors Bureau   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
These migrants were relatively new, even though they were different from those of the people already living in the islands of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Hebrides (now Vanuatu) and New Caledonia.
The trail of their pots, hooks, obsidian cutting tools and ornaments leads down from New Britain through some of the outer islands fringing the Solomons and Vanuatu, suggesting that perhaps they were not powerful enough to force settlements on the bigger islands which were already supporting large populations of people.
This would suggest that the most favourable coastal areas were already settled and that there was no room for the new arrivals, leaving them no choice but to move into the less hospitable interior, where over the ensuing generations their population built up and eventually spilled over.

The use of post-nominals is a visible indication of the granting of an award and as such may be considered, along with the insignia, as an integral part of the award.

 A Chronological History: The New World Order - D.L. Cuddy, Ph.D - Koinonia House
The one-time Governor of New York, claims that current events compellingly demand a "new world order," as the old order is crumbling, and there is "a new and free order struggling to be born." Rockefeller says there is:
And this is a very significant sign of the movement towards a new era, a new age...We see both in our country and elsewhere...ghosts of the old thinking...When we rid ourselves of their presence, we will be better able to move toward a new world order...relying on the relevant mechanisms of the United Nations."
However, the term "global governance" is now used in place of "new world order" since the latter has become a political liability, being a lightning rod for opponents of global government.
