I have always been fascinated by football, especially by the way the Barcelona team plays. As a spectator, never really had any interest in other sports until I coincidentally saw Maria Sharapova playing her final tennis match in Rome back in 2011. If I’m to describe my reaction to her game in the simplest possible words, I would definitely say she is way beyond amazing.

It isn't only the way she plays that is totally capturing, it is her honest reaction and the innocent impressions she makes in responding to each and every gesture made by her opponent, colleagues or even the vast crowd watching her all over the world. Her determination, passion, sensitivity and intelligence have turned her game into much more than a tennis match one would normally watch on TV. Maria at that time was actually writing a story of love, respect, appreciation, ability and achievement in a silent language of a beautiful, powerful and fast athletic body.

The American people, and many other peoples of the world, have recently taken their streets in a determined expression of resentment of the political and economic power  manipulating their lives and depriving them of their rights to live in dignity whilst pursuing whatever legitimate objectives they aspire. The Occupy has undoubtedly initiated changes in the internal and foreign policies of their government. They have also set the highest social standards for any nation. Nevertheless, these changes remain within the scope of the current governing power they initially resent, and for this reason can't have the kind of effect that would guarantee a full liberation of their homeland and regain the possession of their national wealth.

Arab Bank, the leading bank in Jordan, was recently downgraded by Standard and Poor’s to a lower level. This literally means the bank is no longer a global one and clearly implies that its financial performance is deteriorating. The significance of this decision is it shatters the bank’s public perception and consequently it deprives it from attracting a share in the upper market segments, which mainly constitute of major reputable firms who only deal with banks of the strongest financial standing and highest stature.

Wins 5-0

Mr. Newt Gingrich strongly supports israel and explicitly undertakes to protect it at all costs. I think this is because he honestly believes that the ancient history of the Jews in Palestine grants them a historic right to establish a form of separate independent political existence.

H.E. Mohammed Ahmad Mustafa al Dabi the Chief Executive of The Arab League Committee in Syria declares the Syrian government innocent of killing its citizens and assures no civil war in Syria

Today all countries around the world submissively concede to the “rule of law ”, and consciously avoid the application of the so called “rules of practice“. This is because every economy has its own distinctive commercial features which entail specific, thorough and vigorous practices to guarantee the sound processing of legitimate transactions only whilst preserving the rights of the various parties to these transactions. As such, legal systems continue to enact meticulous commercial codes to regulate every single aspect of all types of commercial contracts, including import and export deals.  See Sub-article 16 f of the UCP600 and the case of BankAzaro.

Depicted by the term itself, “Standard Banking Practice” is an illustration of a set of “standard” or “general” indicative rules which would hardly be acceptable to modern day banks who normally adopt intricate strategic plans specifically set to differentiate their individually distinctive cultures, products and processes by value-added elements privately tailored to customize all corporate, personal and trade solutions. Thus, the terms “Standard Practice” and “Rules of Practice” are inherently ruinous and completely delusional.
