After a 16-year career with the Los Angeles Chargers, All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates is officially hanging up his cleats.
Gates announced Tuesday that he is retiring at the age of 39:

Even though Gates didn't play in 2019, he never officially announced his retirement and remained a free agent.
Gates last played for the Chargers during the 2018 season after Hunter Henry suffered a torn ACL during OTAs in May. The veteran signed a one-year deal exactly one week before Los Angeles' first game.
He carved out one of the best careers for any pass-catcher in NFL history and ranks seventh all-time with 116 touchdown receptions, 17th in total receptions (955) and 29th in receiving yards (11,841). He played in eight consecutive Pro Bowls (2004-11) and was a first-team All-Pro in three straight seasons (2004-06).
Prior to the 2015 season, which was his last under his previous contract with the Chargers, Gates told Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune he couldn't make a definitive statement about when he would walk away from the game:
"As you get older, people say things. They make speculations about where you're going, about how much you have in the tank. To me, it's all about how I feel as a person, how my body feels physically and mentally. As of right now, I feel great physically. I'm in a great place mentally. So, we'll see how it goes. I have no expectations for how long I'll play or if this is my last year."
With the Chargers handing Henry the keys to the starting job at tight end, Gates took on a more complementary role in the offense. He fared well with 333 receiving yards and two touchdowns playing behind Virgil Green due to Henry's injury in 2018.
Even though Gates didn't go out at the top of his game, there's no denying his place in NFL history among tight ends. His numbers make him a near-lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as soon as he's eligible for election in five years.

The return of viticulture on the island of Patmos and the construction of the first «Patoinos» cellar constitute a remarkable event. The «Swissiest» wine domain in Greece has been able to exist thanks to the passion, talent, and care of several Swiss Oenologists and winemakers in biodynamic.
The «Domaine de l'Apocalypse» signs its first vintage in 2016, with two authentically Greek insular grapes: the «Assyrtiko» (white) and the «Mavrothiriko» (red). The return of Patmos on the wine scene is most promising.
Of a beautiful golden colour, this vintage develops an intense nose through its richness and complexity, elegantly mixing notes of perfectly ripened grape, sage and fresh figs.
The mouthfeel is ample, rich, with a lot of volume, a hint of subtle mineral notes as well as toasted almonds and citrus.
With a complex, long-lasting taste in the mouth, and a final touch of eucalyptus, this magnificent Assyrtico will allow you to discover all the richness of the land.
Of a splendid ruby colour, this Mavrothiriko develops a rich and complex nose, revealing a perfect harmony of a variety of red fruit notes, typical of a grape harvested at perfect maturity.
The mouthfeel is in perfect continuity. Delicate and complex, with a long-lasting taste, it delivers subtle notes of minerals and cooked berries, with toasted and vanilla accents.

Why '1883' Fans Are Asking Tim McGraw to Be Safe
'1883' Fans Are Urging Faith Hill to "Protect" Tim McGraw After Heart-Pumping Instagram
The husband-wife duo unexpectedly sparked concern online.
By Adrianna Freedman Published: Jan 16, 2023
Whether it's his soulful singing or his passionate acting in 1883, Tim McGraw doesn't fail to captivate folks. That said, he recently had fans intrigued — and slightly concerned — for a different reason.
In early January, Tim's wife Faith Hill posted a never-before-seen Instagram video of him dancing in a car. As she filmed her husband from the front seat, followers could hear her laughing as the country singer jammed out to Olivia Rodrigo's smash hit "good 4 u" in the back.
"This is a rare, very rare look into a side of my husband that only his girls and I get to see," she wrote on January 4. "I think it is the best way to enter into 2023. Yes, it is not the first day of the new year but I believe the first week still counts. Regardless ... It's worth it 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼."
When 1883 and Yellowstone fans caught wind of Faith's clip, they immediately began reacting in the comments section. But instead of jesting about his dance skills, they voiced their concerns about another particular detail.
Watch Now on Paramount+
"😂😂😂 What a mess. Thanks for sharing with us! Make him put his seatbelt on next time. We must protect this man at all costs. ❤," one person wrote on Instagram. "He needs a seat belt! Trust me, you can still move like that with one on! I do!" another follower noted. "Tell Tim to put his seat belt on, then rock out!!" a different user added.
Thankfully, it didn't seem like Tim was in any imminent danger. Now, this isn't the first time the couple has posted about life away from filming and music. Back in December, Tim shared a behind-the-scenes moment of him playing with a Christmas present from his wife, proving he has no problem hamming it up for the cameras when necessary.
While there's currently no word about whether the Hill-McGraws will be back for another season of 1883, we do know that Tim is busy working on something else. He posted a video of him recording new music on New Year's Eve, so we may see him back in the spotlight very soon ...

Advances in institutional thinking have been scattered across different disciplines and specialist fields. Therefore, state-of-the-art reviews have played an important role in taking stock of past achievements and shaping the common understanding of the main currents (for an overview see Peters 2012). Hall and Taylor 1996 distinguishes at least three branches of "new institutionalism": sociological, rational choice, and historical. Sociological institutionalism is grounded in culture-oriented organizational theory that focuses on the taken-for-granted nature of institutions, while rational choice institutionalism seeks to explain institutions as rational conventions that limit transaction costs. While these two theoretical paradigms, culture versus calculus, are analytically at odds, as Immergut 1998 argues, the third variant, historical institutionalism, has a more eclectic research agenda, as outlined in Thelen 1999. It investigates how and why "history matters," partly borrowing insights from the two other paradigms. Theoretical approaches to institutional change have been closely connected to "path dependency," but this concept comes in two variants, as delineated in Ebbinghaus 2005: more deterministic theorems borrowed from economists that seek to explain institutional lock-in, and more open conceptions stressing sequential change and how past decisions narrow but do not completely determine later choices. Thelen 1999 and Mahoney and Thelen 2010 discuss more recent advances in theories of institutional change that have also revisited the impact of power relations and actors important in the "old institutionalism" (see for an intellectual history Stinchcombe 1997). Furthermore, Dobbin, et al. 2007 examines the mechanisms causing the diffusion of ideas.

Immergut, Ellen M. "The Theoretical Core of the New Institutionalism." Politics and Society 26.1 (1998): 5–34.
Ellen Immergut sees common goals for all three institutionalisms but also the need for historical institutionalism to better position itself between calculus and cultural approaches.

Abstract: This work presents simplified Am-242m-fueled nuclear battery concept design featuring direct fission products energy conversion and passive heat rejection. Optimization of the battery operating characteristics and dimensions was performed. The calculations of power conversion efficiency under thermal and nuclear design constraints showed that 5.6 W-e/kg power density can be achieved, which corresponds to conversion efficiency of about 4%. A system with about 190 cm outer radius translates into 17.8 MT mass per 100 kW(e). Total power scales linearly with the outer surface area of the battery through which the residual heat is rejected. Tradeoffs between the battery lifetime, mass, dimensions, power rating, and conversion efficiency are presented and discussed. The battery can be used in a wide variety of interplanetary missions with power requirements in the kW to MW range.

Lady, you, the one out there in Readerland, your friend asked me to write this open letter to you because you are in a troubled relationship.
Your friend says: "It is not your fault, you did not fail."
You gave yourself in good faith to be loyal, faithful, giving and respectful in a life-long commitment. Now, your significant other does not give back to this family relationship anymore.
Lady, you have growing children in need of change for their better future. You are the one who cares to provide and nourish your children. You are not the failure; you are the optimist that hopes things will get better.
For this story, we will call him Bull.
He maintains family control, makes promises and smiles sweetly to manipulate by his rules. You stay in love with your illusion of a good-looking, strong, protective, safe and smiling Bull. Your friend wants you to stop being an "enabler." Your friend knows you can only change yourself: you cannot change him.
You learned sweet talk was not necessary to maintain family control. Bull is demanding and expects a cooperating spouse, which took time.
Your friend said you "believed that Bull would provide a better life." Bull did all the right things in order to win favor and control your strong trusting heart. He was kind, smart, sweet and caring.
On a whim, the family may be first, because Bull always gives a hint of something pleasantly stimulating or excites pleasurably. Bull uses hope for his future promises that may not be kept.
Once in control, the kind familial Bull focused on his personal needs. Regrettably, Lady, the majority of the persons under this type of influence are women. Bull becomes openly selfish and is no longer the family oriented gentleman.
Incredibly, it does not matter if you were a homebody or outgoing, hard working, income-producing, nurturing, well-educated or ignorant, rich or poor. You could have been from anywhere on the social ladder. Lady, you gave up control willingly, trusting and in good faith. What do you get in return?
Remember, he used to be "Lovable Beau" or "Adorable Bull," but never Bully. Not at the start. Lady, you are not alone! Others are suffering like you: there is hope. Set money aside for the emergency day if you are strong enough to leave the relationship.
But you need to take action and make a telephone call to the Women's Shelter at 881-8888 to get help, legal advice, and protective or restraining order information.
Confidential help is provided one-on-one or in groups. Domestic violence is emotional, verbal and mental abuse. Neglect in providing your family the quality of life with food and shelter is also domestic violence.
Lady, your friend has confidence that you are still "a strong woman capable of making things change for your children." Friends say if you are too ashamed to ask your immediate family for help, please make the call to the Women's Shelter.
They help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Their services are free and confidential.

Q: A a criterion for continuity Let $(X, \mathcal{A})$ be a topological space. Prove that a real-valued function $f$ on $X$ is continuous if and only if for every real number $a$ the sets $\{x \in X: f(x) < a \}$ and $\{x \in X: f(x) > a \}$ are open in $X$.
My argument: If $f$ is continuous, then for each $a \in \mathbb{R}$, the sets $f^{-1}(-\infty, a) = \{x \in X: f(x) < a \}$ and $f^{-1}(a, \infty) = \{x \in X: f(x) > a \}$ are open in $X$.
On the other hand, let $a \in \mathbb{R}$ and suppose that $A = f^{-1}(-\infty, a)$ and $B = f^{-1}(a, \infty)$ are open in $X$.Then $A \cup B = f^{-1}(-\infty, \infty)$ is also open. Let $O$ be an open in $\mathbb{R}$. Then we know that $O = \bigcup_{n \in \mathbb{N}}(a_{n}, b_{n})$ and since $f^{-1}(O) = \bigcup_{n \in \mathbb{N}}f^{-1}((a_{n}, b_{n}))$ and arbitary union of open sets in a topological space is open, it suffices to show that $f^{-1}((a_{n}, b_{n}))$ is open. If $a_{n} = -\infty$ or $b_{n} = \infty$ then the result follows by the hypothesis, so we only check for $a_{n}$ and $b_{n}$ finite.
Let $x \in f^{-1}((a_{n}, b_{n}))$. Suppose $U$ is an open subset in $X$ containing $x$. We need to show that $U \subseteq f^{-1}((a_{n}, b_{n}))$. Suppose not. Then there exists $y \in U$ with $y \notin f^{-1}((a_{n}, b_{n}))$.
Then $f(y)\in (-\infty, a_{n}) \cup (b_{n}, \infty)$.
Then $y \in f^{-1}((-\infty, a_{n}) \cup (b_{n}, \infty)) \implies U \subset f^{-1}((-\infty, a_{n}) \cup (b_{n}, \infty))$. But this implies that $x \in f^{-1}((-\infty, a_{n}) \cup (b_{n}, \infty))$, which is a contradiction since $x \in f^{-1}((a_{n}, b_{n}))$ also.
Of course, there is an issue here to address, which is the case: $f(y) = a_{n}, b_{n}$. I hope there is a way of settling this.

A: Suppose $f^{-1}(\leftarrow,a)$ and $f^{-1}(a,\rightarrow)$ are open in $X$ for each $a\in R. $ Then $f^{-1}(a,b)=(f^{-1}(\leftarrow,b))\cap (f^{-1}(a,\rightarrow))$ is open in $X$ for any $a,b \in R. $ Every $S\subset R$, which is open in $R$, is equal to $\cup T$ where $T$ is a family of bounded open intervals, so $f^{-1}S=\cup \{f^{-1} t : t\in T\}$ is open in $X$.

A: Let $V \subset \mathbb{R}$ be open. Take $x \in f^{-1}(V)$. Then $f(x) \in V$. Since $V$ is open, there exists $\epsilon >0$ such that $f(x) \in (y - \epsilon, y +\epsilon) \subset V \implies x \in f^{-1}(y-\epsilon, y +\epsilon) = f^{-1}(y -\epsilon, \infty) \cap f^{-1}(-\infty, y + \epsilon)$ so that by the hypothesis $f^{-1}(y - \epsilon, y + \epsilon)$ is open and $x \in f^{-1}(y -\epsilon, y + \epsilon) \subset f^{-1}(V)$. Thus for any $x \in f^{-1}(V)$, we found a neighborhood of $x$ that lies in $f^{-1}(V)$ and we can conclude that $f^{-1}(V)$ is open. Hence, $f$ is continuous.

How Will the Machining Industry be Affected by the ISO 9001:2015 Standard Changes?
Changes to the machining industry will be coming soon, in the form of an update to the ISO 9001 standards. ISO 9001: 2015 has been voted forward and will be finalized for implementation in upcoming months. The standards are updated every three to five years, to keep them inline with the needs of the industry and the changing ways in which business is done around the world.
The updates to ISO 9001: 2015 are primarily focused on quality management standards, and the ability of the system to conform to the needs of a variety of diverse industries. Risk-based thinking and applicability are the buzzwords in this ISO update. The draft has been written to maintain the processes that have already been established by past versions, but three new core standards are being applied.
Applicability and Management of Processes
Meeting customer expectations for quality and service is, of course, the primary purpose of applying the ISO standards to any business. The ISO 9001: 2015 applies systematic definitions of management and processes to ensure consistent quality. The new standard emphasizes the strategic direction of the company itself. It seeks to encourage machining companies and others in the industries served to form their long-term goals in compliance with the standards.
Plan, Do, Check, Act
Planning is, of course, important to the machining process. The new ISO 9001: 2015 standard seeks to implement a "Plan, do, check, act" methodology, which is a procedural concept that incorporates "risk-based thinking" ideology. By considering the best course of action before implementing a new process or procedure, companies can work through the decision-making process more deliberately and efficiently. The plan, do, check, act methodology helps companies assess whether their processes are merging efficiently to move them toward their goals.
Risk Based Thinking
Aimed at avoiding undesirable outcomes, risk-based thinking encourages managers to consider the larger picture when implementing new processes. By considering the risks and all possible outcomes of each choice, a company can avoid failures by embracing the procedures that are best suited to help achieve goals.
For machining companies that are already certified in the ISO 9001 standards, there will be a transition period of three years before systems will need to be compliant to the new standards. The transition period will give companies an opportunity to become familiar with the updated standard, and to decide how to implement the updates into their own practices and systems. High quality is a goal across the industry, and one that the ISO 9001: 2015 standards seek to uphold.

Utilizing Five-Axis Machining Technology to Undercut Molds
Traditional two-axis machining has been used to cut objects in the molding industry for years, but five-axis machining has become a popular production technique among manufacturers. Two-axis machining allows objects to be modified on two coordinates, which limits the use of this technology to flat-surfaced objects. Five-axis machining, however, allows objects to be modified on five coordinates. This allows for the creation of multi-dimensional products at a much quicker rate. Traditional two-axis machining is advantageous for the creation of simple objects, but five-axis machining has allowed for the creation of more complex, intricate parts. Five-axis production takes less time, is more accurate, and allows the manufacturer to create the object using one single step, without manually rotating and resetting the object for every step. Five-axis machining is ideal for manufacturing medical parts, aerospace machining, and other complex items.
In the molding industry, an undercut is a protrusion of the new object that will prevent it from being withdrawn from the mold. In order to successfully eject an object with an undercut from the mold, the manufacturer must create a side pull, which is a third part of the mold that must be removed when separating the other two pieces of the mold at the end of production.
Creating a side pull in the mold can increase the cost of the part since it requires the use of a more complex mold and a more advanced machine. This is when five-axis machining is most beneficial to manufacturers. It has the ability to create more complex objects that have undercuts or multi-dimensional shapes. Five-axis machining allows for deeper, heavier cuts while reducing the production time. The entire object can be produced in one step. Complex medical equipment and aerospace machining are just two types of objects that can be created quickly and efficiently utilizing the new technology.
While two-axis technology is still relevant and useful for many manufacturing processes, manufacturers are still finding even more uses for five-axis technology, allowing for its application in more complex industries, from aerospace machining to industrial production. For more effective metal removal, consider five-axis machining.

CNC Machining: A Manufacturer's Secret Weapon
A differentiating factor in cutting edge industries is the time it takes to transform an idea into a viable, effective product. The company that develops the product first gets the proverbial worm. This ensures not only possible revenue from sales but also the potential of government grants or contracts. It pays to be ahead of the pack.
In order to create an environment that fosters expedient and ingenious production, a company must provide the most versatile and advanced tools for product development. One such tool is the 5-axis CNC machine. This machine is capable of transforming previously unwieldy materials such as steel, alloys, rock, and almost any other practical material that can be used for industrial applications. Essentially, this shifts a company's attention away from technological capacity to programming creativity. Programming the CNC machine is the only process that separates an engineer's design from a new product.
One of the most common materials used in the fabrication of many consumer products is plastic. It comes in all shapes, sizes, and varieties. Machining various types of plastic can be a delicate task; however, with the efficient efforts of a CNC machine it can be done precisely time after time. Some growing areas of plastic application are automotive fixtures, construction components, and general metal to plastic conversions. Plastic is less expensive than most other materials and can have a variety of different properties, which makes it an ideal medium for taking advantage of CNC machining.
The rigorous safety standards and cutting edge design of today's aircrafts demand no less than the most advanced parts manufacturing system. With CNC machining, the advanced geometry of aircraft components, such as honeycomb-patterned metal, can be achieved. This means more efficient design, higher performance, and happier end-users. Companies that can obtain this technology will be at a significant advantage from a product spec point of view. The versatility of this application may contribute to the growing interest in developing aircraft capable of travel beyond our own atmosphere. This concept may become more practical and pay testament to CNC machining's unrivaled potential.
The healthcare industry is a beneficiary of this technology because it allows biomedical engineers the ability to produce seamless and intricate pieces to be used in prosthetic and interventional procedures. For instance, hip or knee replacements that must be formed from a noncorrosive metal can be custom milled with extraordinary precision for optimal performance in human application.

Will Five-Axis Machining Replace Traditional EDM Technology?
Electrical discharge machining, or EDM, is a manufacturing process that uses electrical sparks to create a desired assembly fixture, shape, or mold. EDM technology has been utilized for many years, allowing manufacturers to create complex shapes and very small pieces from extremely hard materials. As newer technologies have developed, the disadvantages of EDM technology have come to light. A few of these limitations include a slow rate of material removal, high level of power consumption, excessive tool wear, potential fire hazard, and difficulty of reproducing sharp corners on the assembly fixture.
Five-axis machining is a new trend in machining technology. Traditional two-axis machines modify objects on two coordinates, limiting this technology to products with a flat surface. Five-axis machining allows pieces to be modified on five different axes, offering more intricate cuts and multi-dimensional shapes, including perfect spheres. Objects are manipulated along multiple planes allowing for circular and diagonal axis cuts along the assembly fixture. For whatever the production job requires, this technology can rotate left-to-right, top-to-bottom, and forward and backward. Five-axis machining allows for the creation of more complex, intricate parts than traditional EDM or two-axis machining.
This process offers advantages over traditional EDM technology, including shorter production times, enhanced accuracy, and the ability to create complex objects using a single setup. Manual rotation and resetting are two steps of the production process that are completely eliminated. Five-axis technology also allows for the easier use of heavy parts, the ability to access hard-to-reach places, and an improved surface finish of the final assembly fixture.
Does this mean five-axis machining will completely replace traditional EDM machining? In all likelihood, that won't be the case. While five-axis technology offers plenty of advantages over traditional EDM and two-axis production, it's not beneficial or necessary to use this advanced production method in every case. Complicated projects can be completed with ease in a shorter amount of time, but less complex products can still benefit from traditional methods.
Five-axis technology opens up many doors for the future of manufacturing, but many manufacturers will continue to utilize the reliable EDM and two-axis process for the creation of less complex objects.

Many women dream to get acquainted and marry with a foreign man. Today, such acquaintance can be easily done through various dating sites and marriage agencies. However, not always everything develops as it wished to. Foreigners also are different, there are also such men, with whom Ukrainian women are simply afraid to get acquainted. What do they fear?
The Internet – an assistant in dating with foreigners.
The Internet provides a lot of possibilities for acquaintances with foreign women and creating of a family with them. Thousands of the Western men use the Internet to find a wife from Ukraine, Russia and other Slavic countries. At the correct approach it is quite real – to marry the Ukrainian woman! On Internet-sites beautiful Ukrainian, Russian women and girls have the support and understanding in this matter. Dating with foreigners occur through various contests, games, chats, showing pictures and reading e-mails. More often, with Western men get acquainted single women or girls.
Most of them are set to serious and long relationship. Getting acquainted, women prefer to stay some time with a man in friendly relations, in order to soberly assess the situation and think about closer relations. There are cases, when women marry foreigners only for the sake of money and getting a certain property, throwing even their husbands. Such situations may arise in those cases, when there is a big age difference between spouses (if a wife is much younger than her husband).
Still, the majority of couples live long and happily. What does attract the Western men in Ukrainian women? They say the Slavic girls are the most beautiful in the world, the most open, sincere and faithful! Their women are able to love and create strong families. Ukrainian girls, as well as Russian ones, are very beautiful and charming; they're hospitable and excellent hostess. Namely these qualities are very much appreciated by Western grooms.
Danger of dating through the Internet.
The modern rhythm of life does not always provide an opportunity to arrange our personal lives. Very often, many Ukrainian women feel the lack of attention, understanding and love. Today, they are looking for different ways of dating to feel needed and not so lonely. If there is a demand - there are suggestions! And together with them also side effects have arisen. What dangers may encounter a woman, who wants to meet her "the second half" outside of her native country? The really big problem is the consumer attitude to girls from Russia, Ukraine and CIS countries.
Therefore, girls, who travel for work or study abroad and there acquainted with men, have to obtain the profession in advance. It will help them to earn abroad and be a reliable basis for a successful stay in a foreign country. Despite all the warnings, any girl, had posted her photo on a dating site, dreams of a happy marriage with a man from another country. Foreign men seem to be very generous and kind to her, with a lot of positive qualities. But after a while, the two parties may feel cheated and don't get, what they were looking or expected for. There are disputes, misunderstandings, developing into serious problems and consequences appear.
The desire to marry a rich man-foreigner is not quite correct and to use a marriage for this purpose is undesirable, although many women do it. Another danger which for some people, at first glance, seems ridiculous is psychological tests. Before you engage a closer relationship - find out, how compatible you are and how correspond to each other. Human nature was created such that people search each other for living together and creating a family.
In addition, there were cases (and they are known to Ukrainian girls), when foreign grooms in reality appeared to be completely not those people, for whom they had said to be. For example, some scammers pretended to be successful businessmen and caused girls pain, when those learned the real truth. For this reason, women from Ukraine and Russia are often afraid of male swindlers. And yet, despite this, most of darlings and charming Ukrainian and Russian women do not cease to seek foreign men. So, you always have all chances on success!

Proponents of Parliamentary supremacy contend that parliament as the representative of the will of the people should rein supreme over other organs of the state. Indeed of the three branches of Government Parliament is theoretically the most most powerful. Parliament can repeal any statute and amendment any provision of the Constitution and therefore, proponents of Parliamentary supremacy are right about the power of parliament to uphold or undermine the rule of law. Except in openly authoritarian regimes where there is no pretense of democracy in most states, democratic and authoritarian a like there is some sort of Parliament that exercises the legislative powers of the state. In authoritarian regimes the legislature is perverted to legitimatize the oppressive policies of the dictatorial regime as having the backing of the representatives of the people. Even in regimes such as Iran and china, there are staged elections where the people purportedly elect their representatives to Parliament.
The truth of the matter is that parliament has immense power. It can impeach and remove the president. It can impose taxes and appropriate revenue. Parliament can even override the Presidential veto. You are then probably wondering why legislatures world over become rubber stamps of whatever scheme the executive wants to accomplish. For example during the Trump administration, the Republicans in the house of representatives and the Senate failed to act as president trump engaged in corrupt bargains, eroded decades of Presidential norms and openly threatened to refuse to allow a peaceful transition of power. The Republicans only turned against President trump when he lost the election and most of them actually still refuse to criticize him even after the capitol hill attacks and his baseless election fraud claims. The reason the Republicans refused to criticize president trump or remove him from office is because he was popular amongst the core Republican voters who control the representatives' political future. Politicians put one thing above everything else, .i.e. their political survival. They care more about their political survival than the needs of the the people they represent or the well being of the state and its citizens.
The flaw with parliament is that in many countries, the executive usually has a majority or sometimes a super majority in Parliament. This enables the executive to control the legislative agenda and to pass the laws that it desires. It is only patriotic or courageous or credible members of parliament who occasionally rebel against the bad policies of the executive that prevent the executive in many countries from abusing its relationship with Parliament. In most countries parliamentarians are compromised by the executive either through bribery or threats or intimidation or by staging the election of loyalists to parliament. This leads to the fusion of Parliament and the executive, which endangers the rule of law. Given the unlimited power of parliament, a corrupt or compromised parliament is a recipe for disaster. The extent of the powers of parliament were explained by Lord Hoffmann as follows:
Parliamentary sovereignty means that Parliament can, if it chooses, legislate contrary to fundamental principles of human rights. The Human Rights Act 1998 will not detract from this power. The constraints upon its exercise by Parliament are ultimately political, not legal. But the principle of legality means that Parliament must squarely confront what it is doing and accept the political cost. Fundamental rights cannot be overridden by general or ambiguous words. This is because there is too great a risk that the full implications of their unqualified meaning may have passed unnoticed in the democratic process. In the absence of express language or necessary implication to the contrary, the courts therefore presume that even the most general words were intended to be subject to the basic rights of the individual. In this way the courts of the United Kingdom, though acknowledging the sovereignty of Parliament, apply principles of constitutionality little different from those which exist in countries where the power of the legislature is expressly limited by a constitutional document."Lord Hoffmann in Simms at p 131:
The judiciary is also prone to compromise by the executive because in most countries judicial appointments are made by the executive. Therefore, the judiciary is usually compromised and corrupted by appointing corrupt and partisan loyalists. Without proper safeguards such as judicial independence, the executive usually appoints partisan loyalists who are usually corrupt but loyal to the authoritarian regime rather than to the rule of law. In such circumstances, the judiciary due to corruption or incompetence or threats and intimidation also becomes complicit in the oppression of the citizens. A compromised judiciary fuses itself with the executive and parliament and the three branches of Government conspire to torture, kill, imprison without trial, silence, rob and oppress their fellow country men.
In such circumstances, the only safeguard against tranny and oppression in any state is an independent, courageous and effecient judiciary. However as we have seen in many authoritarian regimes, the judiciary is also often compromised and silenced. There is no safeguard against corruption and compromise as effective as the personal courage, virtue, strength and character of the judicial officers. In many countries, the judiciary has security of tenure and therefore, unless judicial officers allow themselves to be corrupted and compromised, they can operate independent of the executive without fear of losing their jobs. However, personal ambition and interests, threats and corruption usually lead to the compromise of the judiciary. In authoritarian states, if the executive can not corrupt you then it will ensure that you preside over a worthless court deep in a remote part of the country. However, those that play to the tune of the executive are given posh or lucrative postings in terms of location, disputes handled, impact and visibility. On the other hand, those that are independent, virtuous and courageous are thrown in remote areas where they are basically voiceless, silenced and insignificant with no hope of career advancement or making decisions that have any meaningful impact. In the end such people become frustrated and leave judicial service or decide to join the dog eating. As the old adage goes, if you visit dog eating country, you either leave or join in the slaughter.
Those judicial officers that respect the nobility of judicial service and the impact of delivering justice to the oppressed, are the difference between law abiding citizens being victimized, tortured and unjustly imprisoned. The importance of an independent and effective judiciary was explained by Lord Bingham in Liversidge v Anderson : The Rule of Law Amid the Clash of Arms (2009) 43 The International Lawyer 33, 38. He said that –
"we are entitled to be proud that even in that extreme national emergency there was one voice – eloquent and courageous – which asserted older, nobler, more enduring values: the right of the individual against the state; the duty to govern in accordance with law; the role of the courts as guarantor of legality and individual right; the priceless gift, subject only to constraints by law established, of individual freedom."
It is only when you have judicial officers who can put aside personal ambition and remain strong in he face of threats and bribery that you can have a strong and independent Judiciary. It is the duty of the judiciary to ensure that personal libery is not compromised even by threats of war or insecurity or emergencies or terrorism. According to the UKSC, "even in the face of the threat of international terrorism, the safety of the people is not the supreme law. We must be just as careful to guard against unrestrained encroachments on personal liberty". Though the Government is free to take extraordinary measures in the face of emergencies to protect the lives and livelihoods of citizens, it should not come at too high a price. When citizens give up their liberty in the name of security, they up end losing both. When the executive, must limit individual liberties, it must do so only to the extent that it is reasonably necessary and for the shortest time possible. However, a compromised, weak and corrupt judiciary will collude with the executive against the liberties of the citizens.
The final arbiter of what is reasonable and necessary should always be the courts rather than the executive or Parliament. The rule of law means that neither Parliament nor the executive are above the law. Since the judiciary has the power of interpretation and judgment it should have the final word on whether there has been a violation of personal liberties. According to Lord Hoffmann in R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, Ex p Simms [2000] 2 AC 115, 131, If the rule of law is to mean anything, decisions as to what is necessary or expedient in this context cannot be left to the uncontrolled judgment of the executive. The judiciary as the guardian of individual liberties should always give any restriction on individual liberties its most constrained interpretation and construe individual liberties as widely as possible. Constraints on individual rights should be as clear as possible and any ambiguity however slight should be resolved in favor of the individual. The courts should always remember that Parliament does not legislate in a vacuum: statutes are drafted on the basis that the ordinary rules and principles of the common law will apply to the express statutory provisions. Therefore, a power conferred by Parliament in general terms is not to be taken to authorise the doing of acts by the donee of the power which adversely affect the legal rights of the citizen or the basic principles on which the law is based unless the statute conferring the power makes it clear that such was the intention of Parliament. As Lord Hoffmann said in R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, Ex p Simms[2000] 2 AC 115, 131:
Fundamental rights cannot be overridden by general or ambiguous words. The absence of any indication that Parliament had the imposition of restrictions on the freedom of individuals in mind when the provisions of the 1946 Act were being debated makes it impossible to say that it squarely confronted those effects and was willing to accept the political cost when that measure was enacted.
Whatever the circumstances, the executive is always trying to find the magic trick that lets it remain in power and prevent political opponents and other individuals from challenging the status quo or from selling their point of view to the public. The executive will spy on, arrest without reasonable cause, torture and weaponize criminal law against it's perceived enemies at given any opportunity. In the circumstances, the judiciary must always remain alive to its duty to protect person liberties and ensure the existence of the rule of law. When you let the executive constrain the ideas you hate tomorrow it will come after the ones you love because in politics there are not permanent friends but only evolving interests.

Harry Moody was trained at the prestigious Art Academy Städel in Frankfurt, Germany. The highly selective academy is a progressive school without a formal doctrine, and instills ideas of free thinking in its students. Moody's artistic development was influenced by three significant professors at the academy, including Johannes Schreiter, Thomas Bayrle, and Josef Beuys. He majored in Free Painting, and his style and artistic methodology developed out of the German art scene of the 70's and 80's. Another major influence of Moody's career came in 1986 when he was introduced to Städel professor Gerhard Richter.
Moody's work is a culmination of his impressive artistic education, exposure to the artistic atmosphere of Germany in the 70s and 80s, and his own philosophies. Moody believes that all art begins with drawing, and while he is foremost a painter, he credits his dedication to the continued practice of drawing to one of his early instructors, Karl Bormann. All of Moody's paintings reflect his appreciation of nature. His inspiration comes the horizons, landscapes, and deserts he observes while hiking in nature. His watercolor studies, from which he develops his compositions, are based on these experiences. Moody also uses photography as an important step in his artistic process, documenting his time in nature for further reflective study.
Harry Moody has exhibited at Städel Museum Frankfurt and Landes Museum Wiesbaden, and his works can be found in international public and private collections.

During the land wars in 1864 both Pa sites on either side of the gully were destroyed by the militia and in retaliation a month later a group of soldiers was ambushed and seven killed on this spot.
During World War ll the site was used as a radar station, Unit 11, one of the 19 radar stations throughout New Zealand.
The station was camoflouged by the airforce to look like a hostel, even to the extent of having 'Oakura Hostel' painted boldly on the roof. This was to fool any enemy aircraft flying overhead.
The officers working at the station were under strict instructions not to tell anyone what they were doing. The station was guarded 24 hours a day by an armed guard.
The station had a 12m high aerial which was used to pick up signals at sea. Headquaters in Wellington were informed if any craft movement was picked up. Full alert was called if they were unsure of what it was. The Hudson bombers based at Bell Block were called out if it looked serious.
The station was staffed by up to 70 personnel, made up of wrens, waafs and air force personnel. Staff spent four hours on duty and eight off, with watches being split into three shifts made up of a radar mechanic and about seven operators.
In 1944 the unit was disbanded and administration building, transmitter and receiver all went up to Te Rapa. There is little sign of the station now apart from the old shed which used to house the half-tonne Ford truck. Look out for it when you visit the garden.
Lucy's Gully
A beautiful peaceful area known as Lucy's Gully is situated at the western end of the Kaitake Range. The area was named after Ruhira Matekai who was also known as Lucy Stevens. She was born in the gully around 1820. Lucy was known on the coast as a kind, fine person who loved all the local children, Maori and Pakeha.
Her husband and two sons died many years before Lucy and are all buried in a plot which is now known as Lucy's Gully. The gully was widely planted by the large Maori population in food crops. Lucy and her family were members of the community who gardened this area before the turn of the century.
Lucy is also remembered as a member of the Okorotua Pa which is by the Oakura River, opposite what is now known as Corbett Park. Lucy developed a thriving business selling whip lashes or crackers which were plaited from flax and sold to teamsters and drovers for use on the ends of their whips. She sold these articles from a position next to the blacksmith's shop on the corner, which is now called Hau Hau Lane, just above Okorotua Pa. From here she also sold flax kits, other handware articles, mushrooms and blackberries.
Every year Lucy would make the long trek from Oakura to the burial place of her husband and sons, where she then spent twenty-four hours grieving and fasting.
Lucy continued this tradition of mourning until her death in 1916. She is buried with her husband and sons by the Waimoku stream, as this was the place of her whare (home). Waimoku is the little stream that runs through Ngamamaku Garden and reaches the sea at Oakura Beach (beside the camp store).
History of the Garden
October 1986: Tony and John purchased Ngamamaku and began clearing the site of rubbish, put in some fencing and began various earthworks.
1987: Planted dell area. Installed polythene tunnels houses to grow cut flowers for market
1988-March: Cyclone Bola destroyed poly tunnels and much of the relatively new planting. Many mature trees were blown down.
1989: Repaired damage from 'Bola'. Replanting and establishing earlier plantings.
1990-March: Severe floods (18 inches of rain in 36 hours) created havoc. The creek calverts collapsed and the entire creek dell area was flooded with water. It was then buried under silt and sand as it slowly cleared. The summer was spent clearing mess caused by the flood and replanting dell area.
1991: Top pond developed and planted. Swimming pool and surrounding rockery built. Track put into upper bush areas.
1992: Circular rose garden developed and planted. Garden opened to the public for the first time.
1994: Aviary built.
1995: Entrance re-directed and parking area developed in conjuction
with works on SH45.
1996: Viewing decks in bush built
1997: Summer house built.
1998: Extended the Nikau walk. Extended Summer House area, added a gazebo.
1999: Removed old shade houses. Developed a small rose garden by the aviary.
2000: New shade house area development for clivias.
2001: Initiated planning of a Japanese garden with Japanese landscaper. The garden to be developed over the next three years.
2004: Japanese Garden built in January / February. Landscape designer - Seiju Imamura from Kurume City, Kyushu, Japan


Brazil vs Costa Rica. The South-American favourites face Costa Rica in Group E, with both sides looking for their first win after disappointing results in their first World Cup matches.
The bookies' favourites for the competition didn't get off to the best of starts, as they were held by Switzerland. Despite taking the lead through Phillipe Coutinho's wonder goal, Brazil surrendered their lead and drew 1-1. With Switzerland defending so deep and compact, Brazil struggled to carve a way through. Although they did have chances to win the game, which they should have converted, few would begrudge the Swiss of a point. Neymar found himself with swarmed by two men whenever he picked up possession; a sign of just how dangerous the PSG star can be. That result has left Group E wide open, with three teams already having points on the board. In order to avoid an embarrassing early exit, Brazil need to master how to break teams down and how to keep the lead once they have.
Costa Rica find already find themselves playing catch-up after they lost 1-0 to Serbia. Aleksandar Kolarov's wonderful free-kick separated the two sides, although in truth it was a goal that Serbia deserved. Costa Rica's main issue, as I expected before the tournament began, is scoring goals. They're solid, without being spectacular, in defence but lack any sort of threat up front. Joel Campbell was a surprise omission from their starting 11 but looked the most dangerous when he joined the action as a substitute. Costa Rica look a shadow of the side that blew England, Italy and Uruguay out of the water four years ago. There appears to be little pace or energy; which was the hallmark of their side in Brazil.
Brazil need to seize control of Group E. Anything other than winning the group would be seen as a major underachievement – making this game a must win. Costa Rica offered very little against Serbia and whilst that was just one game, I'm struggling to see them taking anything from this match.
Correct score: Brazil 2-0 – (link no longer available).
Price Boost – Jesus to score first – 4/1.
Coutinho and Neymar to both score – 11/4.
Neymar to score, Brazil to win to nil and 4+ Brazil corners – 7/4 (NAP).
Brazil to win, Coutinho 1+ shots on target, Jesus 1+ shots on target & Neymar 2+ shots on target and 4+ Brazil corners – 11/8.
Over 1.5 goals, Coutinho 1+ shots on target, 4+ Brazil corners and 20+ match booking pts – 11/8.

Q: Trouble updating attributes of a layer based on another layer's attributes if features intersect in python, QGIS I am trying to assign attributes from features in one layer that intersect features in another layer. When I run my code, I do not get an errors but it does not update the attribute field as I am expecting. I wrote my code based on the example in this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23506358/pyqgis-for-spatial-join. It appears as though the program does not see that any features intersect, but when i compare them on the map canvas, they do. I'm not sure what's wrong. Here is my code:
GPSDegLyr.dataProvider().addAttributes([QgsField('UniqueID',QVariant.Int)])
GPSDegLyr.updateFields()

idxGPS = GPSDegLyr.fieldNameIndex('UniqueID')
idxBuff = dsslvExplodeLyrWGS84.fieldNameIndex('UniqueID')

GPSDegLyr.startEditing()

for b in dsslvExplodeLyrWGS84.getFeatures():
    for g in GPSDegLyr.getFeatures():
        if g.geometry().intersects(b.geometry()) == True:
            val = b.attributes()[idxBuff]
            print val
            g.setAttribute(idxGPS,val)
            GPSDegLyr.updateFeature(g)

    GPSDegLyr.commitChanges()

QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(GPSDegLyr)

John Minter Morgan (1782-1854) fue el pensador más importante del socialismo cristiano británico y al mismo tiempo uno de los principales representantes del owenismo, por lo que ha sido calificado como «owenista cristiano».

Biografía
A finales de la década de 1810 se convirtió en un gran defensor de las doctrinas socialistas de Robert Owen. En 1819 intentó demostrar la «practicabilidad» de sus propuestas (On the Practicability of Mr. Owen's Plan) y en 1826 publicó su obra más famosa La rebelión de las abejas (The Revolt of the Bees), una parábola sobre las ideas de Owen que enlazaba con la célebre Fábula de las abejas (1723) de Bernard de Mandeville. Contaba la historia de unas abejas que se ven invadidas por el egoísmo lo que les conduce a la división y a todo tipo de penalidades. Entonces aparece una abeja sabia (trasunto del propio Owen) que consigue que recuperen la vida comunitaria y vuelva la felicidad. El libro fue muy leído en los medios obreros.

En 1827 publicó su obra más directamente socialista cristiana Investigación sobre la propiedad privada y sobre la autoridad (An Inquiry Respecting Private Property and the Authority and Perpetuity of the Apostolic Institution of a Community of Goods) en la que remontaba los orígenes del socialismo a la secta judía de los esenios, antecedente inmediato del cristianismo. Así, tras denunciar los efectos que estaba teniendo la revolución industrial sobre el hombre, proponía la vuelta a la comunidad primitiva para desterrar el individualismo. Para alcanzar ese objetivo propuso más adelante la constitución de pueblos industriales autosuficientes (self-supporting villages) bajo la supervisión de la Iglesia anglicana, propuesta que ha sido considerada como la «utopía industrial» de Morgan.

The History of the Persian Rug
Your Persian rug, whether it is positioned snugly in front of your fireplace or running along a hallway, is a textile masterpiece steeped in history. Centuries of creativity and ingenuity have led to the creation of the highest-quality rugs showcasing a reflection of the past, and each with a unique story to tell.
In 1949, Russian archaeologists discovered the oldest known carpet in the Pazyryk valley, Russia. Dating back to the fifth-century BC, the Pazyryk carpet is a fine example of the skill which existed and has been developed and refined over the centuries. From this, we can gather that the art of carpet weaving began in Iran (formerly known as Persia) some 2,500 years ago. It was, and still is, the most widespread handicraft in Iran and an intrinsic part of Iranian life, whether that be the farming of the fine wool or the coloring of the dyes.
Originally woven to protect ancient tribal households from cold and damp conditions, the purpose of the Persian Rug has changed significantly from a fundamental part of the home to a piece of fine artwork beneath your toes. As multiple generations were taught the ancient skill and craftsmanship that goes into the creation of a Persian rug, the quality of design improved with the addition of intricate patterns and colors.
The increasing beauty and extravagance appealed to new owners in the sixteenth century who sought grand, timeless pieces for their properties. Persian rugs gradually became popular with kings and noblemen who viewed them as a sign of wealth and superior class and ultimately, as an investment. Now in palaces, mansions and museums all over the world, a Persian rug is the most treasured of possessions. Weavers have used the same ancient hand-woven techniques to ensure that rugs last for centuries; the quality has certainly not been compromised in favor of design.
Whilst Persian rugs are considered to be the quintessential Oriental rug, there are multiple other types of rugs which are similar in design and color.
Original Bokhora and Tribal rugs feature geometric patterns whilst Persian rugs are renowned internationally for their intricacy and variety of pattern, rich color palette and symbolism.
The design of Persian rugs are incredibly diverse and vary significantly dependent on the geographical location. The rugs of metropolitan areas differ greatly from those of a rural village. The metropolitan carpets follow a precise, symmetrical pattern and are noted for their sophisticated floral designs. Smaller rural and nomadic carpets have a more freehand design with bold, simple patterns and a wider variety of weaving techniques.

ODVV interview: The execution of Shiite clergy...
Enter the letter above
Saudi Arabia has been lately under fire for its human rights record. International organisations, experts and influencers have voiced concern over the growing abuse of the rights of religious minorities, arbitrary detention of and crackdown on political activists and journalists and its role in Yemen.
A human rights expert says the execution of Shiite clergy in Saudi Arabia is an "unjustified and odious practice" that doesn't fit into the Crown Prince's vision of reform in the country, marked by the recent developments, including the opening of cinemas to the public and giving the Saudi women the right to drive cars.
Mark P. Lagon is a Distinguished Senior Scholar at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. He had served as the President of Freedom House and was an Adjunct Senior Fellow for Human Rights at the Council on Foreign Relations. From 2007 to 2009, Prof. Lagon was the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large and Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons.
In an interview with Organisation for Defending Victims of Violence, Prof Mark Lagon shared his views about the state of human rights in Saudi Arabia, the rights of immigrant workers, the kingdom's involvement in the Yemeni crisis and the international response to the violations of human rights in the Arab country. The following is the text of the interview.
Q: The human rights situation in Saudi Arabia has been fiercely criticized in the recent months by international organisations who have voiced their opposition against the arbitrary detention of writers, journalists and political activists. Do you consider the removal of the longstanding ban on the right of Saudi women to drive cars and the opening of the doors of cinemas to the public a signal of the improvement of the situation of human rights in this country?
A: The lifting of the driving ban is a welcome step forward, and it removes a hypocritical barrier to the fuller contribution of women to the Saudi economy the kingdom purports to seek. Women driving and cinemas are signs of liberalization, but larger openings for women being freed of escort and consent of males needed to go about their daily life and openings for the free flow of ideas and knowledge uncensored will better serve the dignity and prosperity of the Saudi people. The intensification of restrictions on dissent and journalists cut in the opposite direction from the discrete driving and cinema reforms. The practice of dramatic forms of execution are an outlier in the world and an affront to human dignity.
Q: International media call Mohammad bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia a politician who introduced many social reforms. Do you believe that his reforms are serious and tangible, considering Saudi Arabia's governmental structure and his treatment of the critics of the state?
A: Mohammad bin Salman authentically wishes to modernize and enervate the Saudi economy, whether breaking its monolithic reliance on oil or building consumer spending and tourism domestically. However, his consolidation of power has adopted methods akin to Xi Jinping in China; in the name of modernizing, using anti-corruption efforts selectively to control rivals in elite families and amass more power for the supreme leader than seen in decades. Indeed, detention of less powerful royals and ruthless squashing of dissent have been means to exaggerate a threat in order to justify consolidating singular power even before becoming the King.
Q: One of the major issues which the recent Human Rights Watch report on the situation of human rights in Saudi Arabia discussed critically is the rights of the foreign workers which come from countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and African countries, but don't receive sufficient wages and are sporadically abused by their employees and are literally stranded in Saudi Arabia. What's your take on that?
A: As former CEO of the leading US anti-trafficking non-profit Polaris, I view these problems as longstanding problems in the Kingdom and the [Persian] Gulf. The reliance on a huge number of foreign workers fosters the Saudi elite's contention that they must be kept under careful control as a major presence in the Kingdom. Despite some reforms since I visited the [Persian] Gulf twice in 2007 and 2008 as U.S. Ambassador to combat human trafficking, withholding of passports, squalid living quarters, inhumane hours, low pay diminished by garnishing fees from workers, and veritable debt bondage allow extreme exploitation.
Q: Saudi Arabia boasts of being the spiritual leader of the Muslim world. What's your viewpoint about the freedoms of the religious minorities in this country? What is the reason the legitimate freedoms and liberties of religious minorities, such as the Shiites, are denied?
A: Saudi Arabia hosts the greater Muslim population of the world for pilgrimage, and is indeed important as such. But the Sunni majority implement not only an acutely repressive policy against the slightest manifestation of non-Muslim religious practice, but an equally aggressive policy against Shiites. The execution of Shiite clergy as an alleged threat to the Kingdom is a particularly unjustified and odious practice. Finally, while working with the US to counter networks of terrorists and extremists, massive Saudi subsidization of fundamentalist religious education worldwide is as much a threat to pluralism and stability abroad as its religious repression is within the country.
Q: Do you think Saudi Arabia will leave the Yemen war in the near future? As confirmed by the Human Rights Watch, the military presence of Saudi Arabia in Yemen has led to gross violations of human rights and the killing of more than 5,200 civilians as of November 2017. What's your prediction for the future of Yemen while Saudi Arabia continues to play a not so much constructive role there?
A: I do not think Mohammad bin Salman and the Saudi Government will pull back from Yemen anytime soon – despite the humanitarian harm to children and other civilians, and the fact that their policy does not tangibly advance Saudi economic or security interests. Iran's influence throughout the region is not positive for human rights nor US interests – from Lebanon to Syria to Iraq to supporting the government of Yemen. Nonetheless, Saudi policy in Yemen, in the name of countering Iran, undoubtedly harms rather than advances just governance, stability, and peace in that country. And it is abetted by US intelligence-sharing, assistance, and refuelling of Saudi aircraft responsible for indiscriminate use of force.
Q: As one of the members of the UN Human Rights Council, what do you think Saudi Arabia should do to improve the rights of its own citizens and stop the blatant violation of the right of the Yemeni civilians?
A: While not alone in that regard, Saudi Arabia is not exactly a model of liberties among the Human Rights Council's membership. It could improve its record meeting obligations under treaties it has ratified, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The most important steps it could take include ending or at least markedly circumscribing use of the death penalty, including in particularly cruel forms and against Shiite clergy; punishment of non-Islamic and Shiite believers exercising their freedom of conscience; requirements for females' escort and consent by male relatives; and restrictions on freedoms of the press and expression. As a matter of human rights and the humanitarian law of war, it must cease targeting, maiming, and killing civilians in Yemen as documented by the Council, UNICEF, and numerous credible nongovernment organizations.
Q: What is your viewpoint on the performance of the United States and European governments in addressing the violations of human rights by Saudi Arabia? In May 2017, the US President Donald Trump confirmed $110 million of arms sales to Saudi Arabia despite opposition by the Congress due to Saudis' conduct in Yemen. Do you think Saudi Arabia will change its approach to human rights without receiving a serious warning from its Western allies?
A: Some European powers, notably Sweden, have been forthright in at least rhetorically raising Saudi rights abuses. However, the United States has gone from a policy before Trump of criticizing Saudi Arabia, and other allies, such as Bahrain or Egypt, while maintaining close working partnerships and arms sales. Now the Trump administration has muted public criticism of rights abuses, and ratcheted up arms sales. There is no assurance that private or public condemnation of Saudi abuses will lead to their curtailment if active economic and security cooperation continue undisturbed. But what is assured is that if there is no public or private chiding from a historically leading voice on human rights, the US cannot expect any serious political and civil liberalization in the Kingdom. If anything, President Trump and his son-in-law as Mohammad bin Salman's interlocutor are encouraging illiberal style of rule contributing to a pressure cooker which spurs rather than quells extremism.

Arise is ministry of the Oklahoma United Methodist Foundation. It is presented in a one-day format with multiple churches attending. A church should bring its pastor and as many lay leaders as possible. If a church has further interest, a Foundation representative will be available to coach as needed when you implement Arise.
The basic format for Arise contains material that Mike has taught for years at various levels. However, it has not been compiled into one presentation until now.
With a rough outline, no concept of a logical order, and no name, we decided to spend time in prayer. In fact we used the basic questions you will find in the 7 Days of Prayer section and later adapted them for Arise. Once we finished our time of prayer; the name Arise became clear, the sequence fell into place, and we began to share the idea with pastors and leaders in our conference. Their support and excitement confirmed that we were on a good path.
Today, Arise is being shared with Oklahoma churches as well as other conferences and church leaders. Our hope and prayer is that any church facing declining trends in generosity and age of members consider Arise.
Sign up for the next Arise gathering in OKC!
9:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m.

Ireland maintained their perfect Six Nations start on Saturday but were made to sweat for it in a frantic 37-27 victory over Wales that kept them on track for a potential final day championship and Grand Slam decider against England.
Trailing by eight points at one stage in a first half that they otherwise utterly dominated, Ireland went into the break just two clear as tries from Jacob Stockdale and Bundee Aki cancelled out an earlier effort from Gareth Davies.
Joe Schmidt's side were intent not to make the same mistake twice and looked like they might have put the game out of sight with ruthless, early second half tries from Cian Healy and Dan Leavy, sealing a bonus point in the process.
But Aaron Shingler got Wales back in touch. Conor Murray appeared to have settled it again with a penalty five minutes from time, before Steff Evans replied with another Welsh try, fraying some Irish nerves that were settled by an intercepted Stockdale try at the death.
