  Teachers and Translators: Enhancing their Reading and Writing Skills recommends that language teachers incorporate the reading and writing connection together with the influence of L1 culture as essential elements to achieve textual competence in the target language. The use of challenging magazine and newspaper articles with post-intermediate and advanced language learners has always been a priority in ESP (English for Specific Purposes). The purpose is to activate students' background knowledge, consolidate their critical thinking skills, raise their awareness in relation to varieties of English, figures of speech and coinages and, at the same time, encourage classroom research in such fields as journalese, legal and business English. Expository essay-writing is also incorporated in the course, following such patterns as the Comparison and Contrast essay and the Classification form

  The Gulf War was war waged on Iraq which comprised of coalition forces that had 35 countries and was led by United Nations. The war was a response to Iraq’s step taken to annex Kuwait. The Gulf War is also known as the Persian Gulf War. Iraq under the leadership of Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990 with a purpose of procuring the large oil reserves of Kuwait to establish their power in the region and to annul the debt that it owed to Kuwait. 
  The next day on August 3, 1990 the United Nations Security Council asked Iraq to withdraw their army from Kuwait and when they denied obeying the instructions the United Nations Security Council enforced a worldwide ban trade with Iraq on August 6 of the same year. The government of Iraq then responded by formally seizing Kuwait on August 8, 1990. 
  Iraq’s invasion in Kuwait and forced acquiring of the nation was also an open threat to Saudi Arabia. United States and European NATO allies rushed their troops to Saudi Arabia to prevent any attacks from Iraq. These armies were further joined by Egypt and many other Arab nations. The world witnessed live broadcast of the war especially by CNN. It was a decisive battle and the coalition forces had won against the Iraqi troops.

  Broken Power

  Why God Trusted Women With the World’s Turning Point 
  You were taught that power looks like control. 
  That strength looks suspiciously masculine. 
  Broken Power gently—and irrevocably—undoes those assumptions. 
  Written for the woman who loves Christ but feels unseen by His story, this book reveals a pattern hidden in plain sight: 
  God has always moved power through relationship—not dominance. Through the body—not despite it. Through women—not around them. 
  This is not a book about becoming louder, harder, or more “empowered” in the modern sense. 
  It’s about remembering what you already carry. 
  Through Scripture, theology, history, and the lived wisdom of the female body, Broken Power reframes Christianity’s central mystery: that the greatest shift of power in the universe came not through force—but through trust, yielding, and an open body willing to receive and transform life. 
  You’ll discover:Why Christ’s power looks far more maternal than imperialHow your body mirrors God’s way of creating, redeeming, and healing the worldWhy feminine vulnerability is not a weakness—but Heaven’s chosen technologyAnd how power, once broken open by love, becomes something you host, not something you hold 
  It speaks to the woman who has carried life, carried faith, carried others—and quietly wondered if God sees her strength as central, or merely supportive. 
  After Broken Power, you won’t read Scripture the same. 
  You won’t read yourself the same. 
  And you won’t mistake softness for smallness ever again. 
  This is a book for Christian women who are ready to stop apologizing for the way God designed them—and start trusting that He knew exactly what He was doing.

  Essays on Political Economy

  Bastiat asserted that the only purpose of government is to defend the right of an individual to life, liberty, and property. From this definition, Bastiat concluded that the law cannot defend life, liberty and property if it promotes socialist policies inherently opposed to these very things. In this way, he says, the law is perverted and turned against the thing it is supposed to defend. (Introduction by Wikipedia)
