 Guardian Unlimited Politics Whitehall Doing the honours the French way
Similarly to the orders of the British Empire, there are four ascending ranks: légionnaire, officier, commandeur, and grand officier, with a minimum service of 20 years needed to qualify even for the entry-level honour, thereby at least insitutionalising a concrete criterion the British system lacks.
The French system, meanwhile, dates from the Napoleonic era, when Bonaparte inaugurated the Legion d'Honneur to celebrate services to the French state, either through military endeavour or civil service.
Today's report recommends phasing out of the knighthoods over five years, and rationalising the existing 16 types of honour into simple Commander/Officer/Member for British Excellence, rather than Empire, since the concept of Empire is now "insensitive".

 Sutric Aryan Invasions ( The Bible of Aryan Invasions, Vol. IV )
The Mauryan spy system was comparable to the SS of Nazi Germany and the KGB of the Soviet Union both in scale and intent, and was instrumental in the maintenance of state control.
The elaborate Mauryan spy system thus operated on 3 levels: firstly, the internal spy system reporting on opponents of the state, secondly, the internal spy system controlling the intricate details of the daily lives of citizens, and thirdly, the external spy system dedicated to overthroing rival states and assassination of foreign rulers.
Like these states, the Mauryan Empire was based on persecution of political enemies, absolute control over all citizens and the extermination of elements opposed to the state.

 Ottoman 'Hegemonic Control' in the Balkans
When the Ottoman Empire finally fell, "there was almost no continuity of political elites in the Balkans, at least of elites that had participated in the Ottoman political process."[51] All that remained were those elites involved in the millet system.[52] Thus, the only non-Ottoman (i.e., imperial) administrative structure in the Balkans were the millets.
The millet system imposed by the Ottoman Empire was indeed 'hegemonic' in the way that Laitin describes the term: it was a centralized administrative structure which possessed the power and will to structure the pattern of political group formation in society.

 CNN.com - No Sir! Stars who refused honors - Dec. 21, 2003
Just weeks before, Rastafarian poet Benjamin Zephaniah sent back his OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire, two ranks below a knighthood) medal as a protest against colonialism shown by the use of the term "Empire" and UK government policy on Iraq.
The reasons for refusing honors such as a Knighthood (Knight of the Order of the British Empire) and CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire, one rank below a knighthood) are not given.
The previous week the Sunday Times carried leaked revelations about the 700-year-old British honors system which alleged "star" names from showbusiness and sport -- such as tennis star Tim Henman -- were added to the list at "add interest."

A decision is the causing by a system of events which were not physically determined from outside the system but rather were at least somewhat contingent on the internals of the system, and which were not predictable except perhaps by modeling the internals of the system.
The past is, from the perspective of a particular event, the set of all events by which the event is potentially influenced.

 Eight Banners - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although the banners were instrumental in the Qing Empire takeover of China proper in the 17th century from the Ming Empire, they began to atrophy in the 18th century, and were shown to be ineffective for modern warfare by the 19th century.
The banners were established by Nurhaci in the early seventeenth century and grew to become the core elite of the Qing empire.
It originally consisted of three upper banners directly responsible to the emperor himself and five lower banners responsible to imperial princes; later, all the banners were placed under the direct control of the emperor.

 Digitrax Empire Builder Starter Set
While another system in the Empire Builder's price range may have a "trinket" feature or two that the Empire Builder doesn't have, there is no other system in its price range that has anywhere near the host of "substantial" features offered by the Empire Builder.
And because the Empire Builder uses the same network architecture as the Chief, all that's needed to upgrade to the Chief at a later date is to purchase a DCS100 Chief command station/booster.
While the Empire Builder does not have built in signal logic like the Chief, Digitrax's upcoming signaling system will be made available for the Empire Builder with the use of a computer - still without all the extra wiring that traditional signaling requires.

A parliamentary committee recommended Tuesday July 13th 2004 that Britain modernize its honors system by doing away with knights and dames, calling them "redolent of past preoccupations with rank and class," and dropping references to the British Empire.
The committee, which held a series of hearings on the honors system, called for more transparency in the system and said titles including sir and dame should be scrapped.
''This is important, which is why the honors system needs to be taken seriously,'' he said.

 Empire Earth Aeon - Covering Empire Earth & Empires
Brian Mysliwy: The weather system in Empire Earth 2 is a global one - all of the global weather events (monsoon, blizzard, dust storm) affect ALL players in the same way, temporarily affecting LOS and movement.
Additionally, the bonuses associated with winning a Crown are certainly not going to overwhelm the game; the Crown System is only one part of Empire Earth 2, and as I said, we've really worked hard at balancing the Crown System in with all the other game systems.
Empire Earth was a great game, no doubt about it, so we wanted to keep the core RTS gameplay and epic scope that made Empire Earth a great game, but at the same time move the franchise (and the RTS genre) forward.

 BBC NEWS Politics Honours system outdated, say MPs
The report says "automatic honours" for senior civil servants and diplomats simply for doing their job "create a sense of unfairness and undermine the credibility of the system".
The government is running its own internal review of the honours system which is expected to be published this week but will consider the appointments process, not the awards themselves.
"There was special concern about the use of honours as the 'lubricant of the state' and some scepticism at the claims of those who run the system that it is entirely based on merit," says the report.
