Work and life balance
IT is one of the great challenges we all must face: How do we find a proper balance between our work and our personal activities? Finding the right work/life balance is worth the effort, because it will enhance our quality of life, give us the necessary time to reconnect with families, to give back to our home communities, and to return to our work places rested and ready to produce.Each of us might define this work/life balance in different ways. What we need when we are single is different from when we are married. What we need when we have children is different from when we are just starting out in a job, or preparing to retire.In short, there is no perfect, one set to fit us all. The best work-life balance is the one that you create for yourself because we all have different priorities...

Collecting millions to spare a murderer
Al-YaumIT starts with a quarrel over parking space, running red light, or an altercation of over any minor issue. Then it escalates into a fight and often reaches a level where one of the parties is murdered and sent to prison. He regrets his mistake and repents, is pardoned and his family calls for help to pay the blood money to spare him from execution.Sadly, this is a scenario that repeats in many parts of the Kingdom. The problem is that some members in society, often family elders, are indirectly helping this phenomenon to reach a dead end without any solution. They teach their sons to take their rights by force, and ask them not be weak and not to leave their cousins alone in a fight. They even relate sarcastic tales about people who saw their cousins in a problem or in a fight and...

Collecting millions to spare a murderer

Social media for social change
As technology and social media continue to advance, the main sources of information become more reliable on online platforms than in traditional media. The rise of technology in society has allowed for voices of media influencers to be heard by millions of people within seconds. Consequently, this has paved the way for anyone to become a journalist, as technology has allowed information to spread at speeds much faster than the press. A post by a social media influencer can be more powerful and impactful than a reliable publication. Social media influencers can reach an audience an established publication would not normally reach. Therefore, rather than solely focusing on personal short-term profits, influencers can use their platforms to promote positive values and get their followers...

UK makes a mess of Brexit
Tuesday’s stunning parliamentary defeat of British premier Theresa May is an indictment of London’s handling of the negotiations for the UK to quit the European Union. In the biggest defeat ever inflicted on a UK government, May’s long-argued exit deal with Brussels was tossed out by a majority of 230 votes.This is not, however, a demonstration of unity among MPs. Far from it. The members who rejected May’s agreement had politicians who are dedicated to Brexit voting alongside Remainers, who still hope that they can keep the UK inside the EU and are pressing for a “People’s Vote” which will reverse the Leave decision of the majority of British voters in 2016. Together with these there were opposition MPs, particularly from the socialist Labour Party, who hoped that May’s...

Iranian noise and babble: How will it end?
“Much ado about nothing.” This expression precisely describes the state of the Iranian regime that has been struck with total paralysis since the re-imposition of American economic sanctions. The latest of these is the US slapping sanctions on Iranian oil exports. The poles of power in the Iranian regime of mullahs have been creating a lot of noise and commotion, claiming that their country will export its oil in defiance of US sanctions.President Hassan Rouhani and the mullah regime’s foreign minister Muhammad Javad Zarif had great hopes that the European Union countries would take advantage of their strong relations with the US to get an exemption allowing them to continue dealing with Iran. Nothing of this kind has taken place because Europe cannot violate the American sanctions....

The rights of women in divorce
OkazAs part of the effort of the Ministry of Justice to put an end to secret divorce in which a husband divorces his wife without her knowledge, the ministry has activated an SMS that notifies the wife about the divorce. This is a good step on the part of the ministry, but that opens the door to questions about the method of divorce and the rights of women in the divorce process. Women are not called upon to be involved in divorce procedures and their approval is not required in the same way that it is in the case of marriage.The strange thing is that the relationship between the husband and wife begins with a marriage contract which is an agreement between the two parties but ends with a solo decision on the part of the man. When a woman wants custody of her children or alimony or any...

From Rahaf to the grasshoppers
Al-MadinaTHE world media, human rights organizations and the United Nations were busy the past week with the case of Rahaf Al-Qunun, the Saudi Arabian girl who fled her family in Kuwait and escaped first to Thailand and then to Canada.From her accent, it looks like her family had given her a good education. However, the same world media and the rights groups did not pay any attention to the battered girls who escape from their poor families all over the world on a daily basis.Girls escaping from their homes is not a strange phenomenon in Arab societies nor rare at an international level. This happens even in very open societies for many reasons. Some girls escape because of violence, harassment, drugs and relationships. Others escape because of the family's poor financial...

Partially paralyzed politics
If it weren’t so serious, it would be a good joke to see the President of the United States serving 300 Big Macs to a group of college football champions during their reception at the White House. But on Monday Donald Trump ordered in and pay for this fast food because his catering staff have been laid off thanks to the US government shutdown.Likewise Canadian air traffic controllers have been sending pizzas to their American colleagues, who along with 800,000 other US public workers are currently going unpaid, though air traffic controllers and others, including Secret Service personnel, are obliged by law to stay at their key posts.This, the longest government shutdown in US history is the result of the showdown between Trump and the now-Democrat controlled House of Representatives....

Israel’s rejection of peaceful overtures
The Israelis today have defied all international organizations and agencies in their drive to erase any Palestinian identity from the land that they have stolen under the guise of protection. But what do they have to worry about? In 2002, the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia proposed a peace plan with the Israelis and stated that he would do all within his power to ensure that all other Arab states followed suit. King Abdullah was very clear about his willingness for full peace and normalization of relations with Israel by all 22 Arab states, in return for the full Israeli withdrawal from all occupied lands and the creation of a Palestinian state.King Abdullah’s proposal called for full Israeli withdrawal from all Arab territories occupied since June 1967, in implementation of Security...

Is the UN siding with the Houthis?
OkazWhat if the Yemen national army or the coalition forces supporting the legitimate government in Yemen bombed the podium where Houthi leaders were watching a military show? What if this attack killed many Houthi military leaders? This is similar to the strike by the Houthi militia in the capital city of Sanaa many months ago. What would be the reaction of the international powers who remain silent about the Houthi strike in a military show of the legitimate government in Al-Anad military base?Except for the US State Department’s condemnation of the attack, the international reaction to the incident has amounted to calling for both sides to apply self-control. Calling for self-control is the same as suggesting that a fight is taking place between two equal sides and not between a...
