While some countries seek to build new prisons due to the increase in the number of prisoners, there are other countries that closed their prisons and turned them into museums and hotels for hiking, and this is the case of some Scandinavian countries that import prisoners to their empty prisons. The Scandinavian countries are located in northern Europe and are "Finland, Norway, Iceland, Sweden and Denmark", and this name has been taken from the names of the countries it covers. "We have noticed an unusual or unprecedented decline in the number of prisoners, and now we have the opportunity to close a number of our facilities due to our lack of need at this time, and we hope that our efforts have paid off for rehabilitation and crime prevention," says Nils Uberg, head of the Swedish Prison and Rehabilitation Authority. . The director general of criminals' reform prisons, Niels O'Briy, proposed that short-term prison sentences be replaced with more correctional penalties, such as electronic surveillance and tracking, deepening dialogue and increased cooperation with the courts, because it would bring greater benefit to the prison reform. This came in a translated report on a meeting with the Swedish newspaper "Dagens Nyheter", where Aubrey said that 70% of all prison sentences today are less than six months, adding, "It is unfortunate that criminal policy discussions often revolve around making the term of a sentence Prison is longer. " In 2013, Sweden closed 4 prisons after the decrease in the number of prisoners and the decrease in the level of crime. According to the statistics of the International Center for Prison Studies, the number of people sentenced to prison is 67 out of every 100,000 people. The number of prisoners in Sweden began to decrease since 2004, when the number of prisoners amounted to 5772 prisoners, as the number of those convicted of theft, drug crimes and violence decreased by 36%, 25% and 12%, respectively, and the number of prisoners decreased to 4,852 prisoners, out of the 9.5 million inhabitants This is the Scandinavian kingdom. The Egyptian traveler Ahmed Hajjajovic, who had an experience in Swedish prisons, transmitted it via social media, and published pictures of him inside the Swedish "Angelholms" prison, which turned into a hotel where the price of renting the room reaches 1100 Egyptian pounds per day. Hajajovic wrote about his experience saying, "Sweden has closed 4 prisons so that there are not enough prisoners to fill the prisons !! ... The Swedish government has turned the largest prison in Sweden to a luxury hotel and museum and also has more than 100 thousand inmates and more than a million visitors per year other than international conferences, meetings and parties that It hosts the hotel garden (formerly prison). Swedish prisons apply a system of rehabilitation and reform, and its laws prohibit executions whatever the crime, and the maximum penalty for them is 21 years, and allows those who spend less than 5 years the freedom to stay in their homes and come in the morning to prison, and students go to university and return to their prison, which is required to be built on a lake Or a swimming pool, according to Hagagovich. According to the 2014 Statistics of the National Crime Prevention Center in Sweden, violent murders amounted to 87 cases. It is the same number recorded in 2013, and during the past ten years, cases of violent crime leading to murder ranged between 68-111 cases annually, and this means that there is a regression in the development of fatal violence. This is how the prisons in the Kingdom of Sweden currently, which was about 100 years ago, suffer economic and social conditions that forced thousands of its citizens to leave their cities and villages and migrate to America, but it managed to rise from the semi-slavery stage to the ranks of industrialized countries, with a social system in which crime rates fell and a system A leading role model. Until the year 1700 BC, Sweden depended on bronze imports from Europe, and lived a primitive life in houses with a single wooden floor, according to historical references. After it was very poor, its star shone as a major European power in the seventeenth century. Thanks to the success and continuity of the Kingdom of Sweden during that period, due to the great changes in the Swedish economy during the reign of King Gustav I in the middle of the sixteenth century, and published Protestant. But the Swedish economy suffered a deterioration as a result of the wars that continued for up to half a century, coincided with a famine that struck the Swedish Empire, and claimed the lives of about 10% of the po[CENSORED]tion of Sweden, which made the task of Carl XI from 1655-1697, focused on rebuilding the economy and equipping the army. With the po[CENSORED]tion doubling from 1750 to 1850, more than a million Swedes were forced to migrate from their country to America for fear of starvation and rebellion, and Sweden remained in extreme poverty, because it relied almost entirely on the agricultural economy, while Denmark and Western European countries began to manufacture . The situation remained like this until significant changes occurred due to innovations and significant po[CENSORED]tion growth. These innovations included government-sponsored programs to prevent feudalism and attacks on agricultural land, and new crops such as potatoes were introduced. In the period from 1870 to 1914 industrial developments occurred that brought Sweden to where it is now, as well as strong po[CENSORED]r movements emerged during the last half of the nineteenth century such as trade unions, anti-alcohol groups and independent religious groups, and the Swedish Social Democratic Party was founded in the year 1889, which accelerated From Sweden’s transition to democracy. After World War II, Sweden opened to trade and turned to international competition in the manufacturing sector until the 1970s, but it experienced a period of economic decline. From 1970 to 1990, the general tax increased by more than 10%, and growth rates were low compared to most Other countries in Western Europe. The Swedish economy lost more than half of the gross domestic product, which led to the decline of Sweden from the list of the five largest countries in terms of GDP per capita, and the government moved to cut spending in addition to many reforms aimed at improving the country's competitiveness, including limiting social welfare. And privatizing services and public goods. But this was in the past, but now Sweden has become the leader of research centers as the best country, according to the Forbes report, in 2017 Sweden ranked first as the best country in the field of trade and business in the world. The Forbes report indicated that 10 years ago Sweden was ranked 17th, but by adopting economic policies that have jumped to the top of the list, during the past two decades, they have limited restrictions and restraint in the field of budget and luxury, and today they are home to advanced industries and international brands. The gross domestic product is $ 39.8 billion and the growth rate is 1.5%. As for the inflation rate, it is 0%, and unemployment reaches 6.9% until December 2016, according to official statistics. The Swedish experience can be summarized by what the World Economic Forum website started talking about in an article published in February 2017: "If you are a Swedish citizen you should be proud of that", pointing to 9 factors that raised Sweden to advanced levels even compared to the rest of the world, it also occupies It ranks first in the world in the Economist Democracy Index and seventh in the United Nations Human Development Index. "The experience of Scandinavia with the issue of prisons, and with the criminal world in general, is not difficult to deal with chemistry or difficult logarithms," journalist Abdel Nasser Salama said of that experience in a newspaper article for Al-Masry Al-Youm. Salama saw that the solution is a story closely related to the world of education, and in the case of the third world also linked to the world of freedom, democracy, human rights and respect for the other opinion, he added, certainly, the situation in the third world countries is completely different and needs to deal with a map of intertwined form and content. In his view, the solution to the prison issue relates to political will more than anything else, and is related to achieving justice and equality, economic recovery, and the elimination of unemployment, poverty, hunger, homelessness and slums. Salama concluded his article by saying, "Since these are difficult matters at the current stage, let us start serious negotiations with Scandinavian countries, perhaps or some of them accept a new type of third world export, which is prisoners, in order to reduce the burdens, and if we will collide with queues who are outside prisons, they wish to spend The rest of their lives are there, in the five-star prisons.

David Patashvili, in an article published in the American National Interest magazine, asks: What happens when China becomes the most powerful country in the world? He talks about the rivalry between Beijing and Washington and the future of the world in light of this conflict between the two parties. The writer - who is an international relations analyst and researcher with the Georgian Institution for Strategic and International Studies - says that if Beijing leads the world, democracy will face pressure to maintain the shape of the political system it has been since the last century. Notable states tend to shape it in multiple ways - as the author says - and they clearly do so in a somewhat direct way through their geostrategic activities, but this phenomenon goes far beyond this method. He says that prominent states intentionally or accidentally export their internal arrangements to the entire international system, and that the global political, economic, social, cultural and legal implications of this process are profound. Global superiority The writer notes that the British, then American, world supremacy played a role in the fact that English became the lingua franca of the inhabitants of the Earth and not French or German. Since the first half of the twentieth century, the United States has left - the author says - a huge imprint on the era of globalization that goes far beyond clear political geography. The author adds that there are countless implications for the steady flow of massive US political and cultural values and activities at the global level. The combined sum of various aspects of American influence has played a critical role in shaping the modern world, according to the author. The article cites all of the above by saying that this American superiority faces a challenge from China, noting that Washington and Beijing are doing their best to not let their rivalries get out of control, and that the two parties are interdependent and depend on each other economically. The second force The author explains that the essence of what is happening is that China has become the second power in the world, and that it wants to become the first, and that the United States is at the same time not ready to see who replaces it in its global leadership position. Many nations have been competing against each other throughout history for supremacy - the writer says - and the United States had already competed with the Soviet Union in the Cold War and today it is competing with China in this context. The article says that this conflict between Washington and Beijing does not necessarily lead to direct war, although its prospect remains possible. However, regardless of the form of the Sino-American competition, the stakes remain incredibly high, not just for the two competing forces themselves. The international leader And if China is to replace the United States in the role of the global leader - the writer says - then it is its internal reality that will shape the outside world, just as Britain did, just as the United States still does. The writer believes that the internal reality of China now is not considered beautiful, pointing out that Beijing is moving from relative despotism to a new model approaching totalitarianism. The article concludes that modern Chinese political and legal rules and practices will closely follow the global spread of Chinese geopolitical and economic hegemony, and that competition between the two powers will shape the struggle over the shape of the world we "live".

On Friday, God Almighty preferred this day over the rest of the days. On the authority of Abu Huraira and Hudhayfah, may God be pleased with them, they said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “God has deluded us from the group who were before us, so it was for God, for the sake of God.” God Fahadana us God on Friday, and started Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as well as they followed us the day of Resurrection, we others from the people of the world, and the ancients day of Resurrection, before the prescribed to them Creatures "Narrated by Muslim On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “The best day of the sun came on Friday, the day of Friday, in which Adam was created, and in which he entered the Jinn.” And Abu Lubaabah ibn Abd al-Mundhir said: The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "On Friday the master of days, and the greatest of God, which is the greatest God of Eid al-Adha day and the day of Fitr, in which five through: God created Adam, God and rappel Adam to The land, and in it God died Adam, and in it an hour God does not ask the servant in it anything but He gives him No heaven, no earth, no wind, no wind, no mountains, nor a sea, except as they pity on the day of Friday. " Narrated by Ibn Majah, and improved by Sheikh Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami The most important virtues on Friday the Friday prayers, Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him that the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him, he said: "the five prayers, and Friday to Friday, among them an expiation for what did not cheat the major sins" The best prayer that a Muslim prays is Friday prayer in congregation on Friday. On the authority of Ibn Omar, he said: The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The best prayer with God is the morning prayer on Friday in congregation.” Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in "The People of Faith", and corrected Sunnah for worshipers to read the Friday Sura prayers Sajdah in the first rak'ah and Al rights in the second rak'ah, was narrated from Abu Hurayrah may Allah be pleased with him that the Prophet peace be upon him was read in Sobh on Friday (b pain download) in the first rak'ah and in the second: "Is It came to man from the end of the time that was not mentioned. " Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim Who died on Friday or the night and protect him from God, from the torment of the grave, narrated that 'Abd-Allaah ibn' Amr, may Allah be pleased with them, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him: "There is no Muslim on Friday or night die Friday but Allah will protect him trial of the grave" .. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi It was classed as saheeh by al-Albani in “Rulings of Funerals” Ruling on saying a blessed Friday is the phrase "blessed Friday" is one of the phrases that were not mentioned in the Sunnah, and was not circulated in the early ages of Islam, so religion and language scholars studied this subject well before recognizing a specific ruling, and after their study they came up with a result, namely: the obligation to say the Muslim To his Muslim brother after Friday or every Friday “blessed Friday” we do not know in it a year about the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, nor about his noble companions, and we have not seen any of the scholars who said that he is his legitimacy, so this is an updated innovation, especially if it is in the face Devotion and Sunni belief. It was proven from the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, that he said: “Whoever does something that does not matter to us is a response.” Narrated by Muslim, Bukhari commented. But if a Muslim says this phrase to his brother sometimes without believing that it is proven, and there is no commitment to it, nor persevering in it, but as a matter of supplication then we hope that there will be no harm in it, but leaving it first so that it does not become like the fixed Sunnah. Ibn Rajab, may God have mercy on him, said: "The bad conclusion is due to an intuitive intrigue to the slave that people cannot see." Some of them said: "How much disobedience in the shadows that God Almighty prevented me from saying:" And for those who feared the shrine of his Lord, two paradises. " The most desirable remembrances It is desirable for a Muslim to frequently read the Qur’an, supplication and supplications, and recite Surat Al-Kahf on its day with a lot of prayers on the Prophet - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - and Al-Shafi’i, may God have mercy on him, said in the book “The Mother”: I like reading it also On Friday night. It was narrated in Ibn Al-Sunni’s book on the authority of Anas, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - who said: “Whoever said this morning before Friday prayer before the prayer of tomorrow: I ask forgiveness from God, who is no god but God.” Three times, God will forgive his sins, even if they are like the foam of the sea. And God Almighty said: “If the prayer is spent, spread it on the earth and seek the goodness of God, and remember God a lot, that you may prosper.” Friday. And his saying, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him: “Increase the prayer for me on Friday and Friday night. Whoever prays to me, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him for ten.” Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi and classed as hasan by al-Albani The hour of response The hour of response is a hour that a Muslim slave who asks God for good does not agree with except he gave it, and an hour in which the supplication is answered, as in the hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: Abu al-Qasim, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: A standing list prays, so he asked God better than he had given him. There is disagreement about the timing of this hour, and there are many sayings, the most correct of which are two: Say I: it from sitting Imam to the end of the prayer, and the argument this to say what was narrated in Saheeh Muslim from Abu Burda ibn Abi Moosa said: "He told me Abdullah bin Omar, you hear your father happens from the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him regarding an hour Friday He said: Yes, I heard him say: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, saying: “There is no one that does not sit.” The second saying: It is after the afternoon, and this is more likely than the two sayings, which is the view of Abdullah bin Salam, Abu Hurairah, and Imam Ahmad, and creation. The argument of this to say what was narrated by Ahmad in Mssandeh, from Abu Sa'eed and Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "On Friday there an hour no Muslim slave asks Allah Almighty where good but gave him a later era," in Al-Musnad Inquiry: A authentic hadith with evidence, and this is a weak chain of narration. .Oroy Abu Dawood and women, from Jabir bin Abdullah, the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him, said: "On Friday, twelve hours, where there is no Muslim Abd Allah asks anything except Attah him Valtmsoeha another hour after the afternoon." Said bin Mansour narrated in his Sunnah from Abu Salamah bin Abdul Rahman, that people from the companions of the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - met, so study the hour on Friday, and they dispersed and did not disagree that it is the last hour of Friday, and in. Abdullah bin Salam said, and I told the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him sitting: "I find in the book of Allah on Friday, not an hour slave believer pray God asks where anything but spent his need, Abdullah said, referring to the years And for God's peace be upon him: or some hours, I said: ratified, or some hours, I said: no hour is? He said, is the last day hours. I said: It's not an hour prayer?! He said: Yes, the slave believer if he prays then He sat with whom he was not locked except in prayer, and he was in the prayers, corrected by Al-Albani. Etiquette and best deeds are washing: for the Prophet - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - said: “Washing Jumuah is a duty for every dictator.” Sahih Al-Bukhari means for every adult. Likewise for his saying - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him -: “If one of you comes Friday, let him do ghusl.” Sahih Bukhari Purity: He, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “A man does not wash on Friday, and purifies what he has managed to cleanse, and grease from his fat, or touches the goodness of his house. Otherwise, forgive him between him and the other Friday. " Sahih Al-Bukhari. Purity is an excess of ablution, so the Muslim has the right to shave the pubic hair, pluck the armpits, curl the mustache and trim nails. Dyeing and applying hair: The Muslim wears incense or oil in his clothes and body. And he should brush his head hair and repair it to make it better. He wore the best clothes: It was narrated by Abdullah Ibn Umar that Umar Ibn Al-Khattab saw a suit of mirrors at the door of the mosque, and he said: “Oh, Messenger of God, if you bought this, put it on Friday, and for the delegation if they came to you.” Sahih Al-Bukhari, as Abdullah bin Salam narrated that he heard The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, on the pulpit on Friday said: “None of you, if he has the capacity, to take two garments for Friday, except for the dress of his profession.” Sahih al-Jami` al-Sagheer and its increase Al-Tasuk: On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - said: “Were it not for the most difficult of my nation - or for the people - I would have commanded them to miswak with every prayer.” Sahih Al-Bukhari The attendance of the mosque is early: On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him: “Whoever did ghusl on Friday washed the impurity and then he went as if he was near a fatness, and he went at the second hour as if he was near a cow, and he who died in the third hour as if he was near a peer ram, and whoever left in the fourth hour as if He came near a chicken, and he who died in the fifth hour looked as if he was near an egg.

The Supreme Council for Fatwa in Palestine rejected the escalation steps that Israel is implementing from imposing its sovereignty over the Holy City, and its attempt to impose force in all ways and means. This came during a session of the Council chaired by its President, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestinian homes, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, in the presence of Council members from various governorates of the country. The Fatwa Council affirmed that what happened added to the long record of crimes of the Israeli occupation against the blessed Al Aqsa Mosque and the holy sites in Jerusalem. Since the occupation of Jerusalem, which was targeted, it was burned, and the blood of its worshipers, executed by the occupier, was spilled on its land, in addition to the continuous prevention of worshipers from accessing it. The Council warned against the occupation authorities' exploitation of the process that occurred in Jerusalem to implement its Judaization plans in the Holy City and Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is what it started by installing electronic portals on its entrances, stressing that these measures provoke feelings of anger among Muslims around the world and threaten stability. He stressed that the mosques are an Islamic endowment, and non-Muslims are not entitled to interfere in their affairs, and that the occupation authorities strike the width of the wall with divine laws, customs, international laws and regulations, and do not respect them, and go according to a systematic plan to obscure everything that is Arab in Palestine and replace it with the Jewish, striking with the wall of the international laws issued Regarding the consideration of Jerusalem as occupied territory, and the rejection of the sovereignty of the occupation authorities over it, confirming the decision of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which denies the existence of any religious association of Jews with Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Buraq Wall, and considers them a pure Islamic heritage. The Council called on the ministries of Endowments and Religious References in the Arab and Islamic worlds to allocate Friday sermons on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and its blatant attacks against it. And he called on the people of Palestine to continue pulling travelers to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in all times and conditions, and saluted the Almoravids from the scholars and the sons of Jerusalem and Palestine at the gates of the blessed mosque. The Council condemned the occupation forces storming and blocking the Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem, in clear violation of the rights of patients to receive treatment and hindering the work of medical personnel, calling for the need for immediate intervention to stop these violations and attacks. He condemned the arrest of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian homes, the preacher of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, saying that it was a serious continuation of Israel's violation of international law, and a blatant attack, especially in light of the location of the mufti and what its status symbolizes. The Council also condemned the assault of these authorities on the head of the Supreme Islamic Authority Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, and beat him. The Fatwa Council called on the freedom of the whole world, the necessity to put an immediate end to what is happening in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque violations of its sanctity, and take all possible measures and measures to curb the Israeli occupation and its blatant measures, which are being brutally practiced against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in particular, and Islamic and Christian holy sites in Palestine in general, in addition to the attacks On the defenseless people of the Palestinian people except from their belief in God Almighty, and on the Palestinian land with its stone, tree and human, where they are subjected to the most heinous crimes of murder, abuse, sabotage and destruction.

There is no escape from boredom, for it is the destiny of the eternal man, the eternal and endless and anything that a person does or a plan that he draws or a path that he takes, it is only to confront boredom and overcome it, whether this is conscious or unconscious. In the past I thought that human behavior was motivated by the search for happiness, but a closer look at what is around you or within you will reveal to you that the search for a way out of the boredom of life is a greater instinct than the search for happiness. Many do things that may cause them misery or death, and yet you find persistence in their behavior, why? Often they want to break the state of boredom and inertia from a way of life they live, even some of whom they have seen turn to faith or repentance, part of which you find escaping from a state of boredom in terms of another style of life, even that their lives are filled with all the causes of luxury and entertainment, committing suicide to escape boredom, or They migrate to other less prosperous or troubled countries or places, to escape boredom. So how can death be boring, too ?! Death is bored, because you are what you learned about it. Learn it with your senses, and whatever you are told that after death "as a believer" is something that has its own senses, you cannot escape a lot of thinking with your immediate senses, and from this point of view, you find yourself before eternal life, in one style that does not change And it is not expected in it any kind of diversity or difference or the end or change, whether it is bliss or torment, then in the end you are facing eternal life, eternal and endless, which is very bored with the criterion of thinking and senses of the present that you cannot ignore a lot. Often it is possible to start life with love, but it cannot continue without the "ten", the ten are the ones that make you bear the costs of boredom, the ten are accustomed to facing problems with your partner But if you are “unbelieving” then you did not escape from boredom, then death means annihilation without any benefit or reason to exist in the first place, as you feel that you are “nothing” and that you bear boredom in this world or your inability to face it in exchange for “the meaningless” after that is “a dull feeling” "By itself, that you will go without price makes your presence in life itself boring, too. Boredom is not associated with comfort, misery, or belief in whether or not, boredom is the eternal destiny of man and his torment that he always escapes from. Torment of boredom! And if you ask me about the secret of the prison torment or solitary confinement inside it, I will tell you “Boredom” is the secret of this torment. For the same. This is why "The Shawshank Redemption" is my favorite movie ever, because its axis is the hope of escaping from prison and getting rid of "boredom" and facing it during the time spent by the hero of the film between entering and planning to escape, hope and patience in facing boredom, which are the two The old man, who left prison and could not bear to get out of the "system / system", who created his own prison within him, carried him with him wherever he went, so he committed suicide because life for him became hell, because he used to be bored. This is how the government employees and the Egyptian bureaucracy used to get bored, so they locked them inside and started escaping any change like the old man of the film because the change for them is "hell." If a person in general, even the liberated person from the job, is bored, then what about an employee in the forest of the Egyptian bureaucracy, how It will be, personally, I think many of them are dead long ago, deal as ghosts with the rest of the citizens, and wish to taste the torment of boredom like them. Even in social life, when someone says to his sweetheart or fiancée, “It is not a lifetime of you,” then he undoubtedly compliments or flirts with it, from where the problems of the “middle age crisis” come, nothing but boredom, this is the essence of this crisis facing everyone, And I think that if it were not for the details of life and the inability of a person to face his misery alone, the majority of those who echoed the sentence - above - would not have continued in their lives, it is often possible that life would start with love, but it could not continue without the "ten", the ten are the ones that make you bear the costs of boredom, The ten are accustomed to facing problems with a partner who bears the heavy costs of continuing and facing life Her misery. " You marry to escape boredom, and then you are born to have in your life “children who dictate to you your life” to escape from boredom, then facing daily challenges and problems is the one who gives your life a “flavor” to face boredom, then you get bored, so you want change and you come to do actions and actions that lead people to hurt You have to get angry, boy, either you face them and this is part of breaking the state of boredom, or you wandering to "zombies" as employees of the Egyptian government, and you begin to master them in besieging them with instructions and comments, and "disguise them in their lives" until they dare what you feel boredom. So the bottom line is, life is boring as well as death, and boredom is the destiny of a person who escapes from it, so they lived and got used to it, so boredom is our destiny until we have other senses that we judge after the death.

After scraping back into the Champions League on the last day of 2012-2013 season, Arsenal fans hoped to push on and improve. Arsenal had a very eventful season with some very high highs and some very low lows. The North London club once again finished fourth, once again were knocked out in the round of 16 in the Champions League, but they finally broke the nine year trophy drought that has been hanging over them with an FA Cup victory. STAR PLAYERS AND RESULTS Wenger’s team had a few star players this season. Though none of their players were better than Aaron Ramsey. Despite missing four months out through injury, the Welshman bagged 15 goals and nine assists in all competitions. The box-to-box midfielder was Arsenal’s second top scorer behind Olivier Giroud. It was more than just goals and assists with Ramsey though. The former Cardiff prodigy proved how key he was, when he was out injured. His drive from the midfield and his defensive effort was missed and the team struggled as a result. The trio of Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, and Wojeich Szczesny were also phenomenal this season. You can’t speak about one of Laurent Koscielny or Per Mertesacker without bringing up the other. The combination improved Arsenal’s defence immensely. While the Gunners did suffer some heavy defeats, those defeats would be blamed on poor tactics, leaving the pair helpless, not on the centre-backs themselves. The Polish keeper also made huge strides this season. He ended up sharing the golden gloves with Peter Cech. Szczesny started making match-winning saves on a regular basis this season and reduced the amount of errors he made. Two other players who had good seasons, despite receiving unwarranted or over the top criticism from fans and media, were Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud. Mesut Ozil created a chance every 28 minutes, more often than any other Arsenal player and more often than every Premier League player barring Samir Nasri, Willian, and David Silva. Ozil finished the season with seven goals and 14 assists, in all competitions. While he did not have a season worth £42.4m, Ozil had a strong season. Again despite taking some strong criticism from not only the media but his own fans, Olivier Giroud had a good season for the North London club. Sometimes his finishing was not up to scratch or his overall play wasn’t there causing frustration from fans. Still, 22 goals and 10 assists is not a bad return. The Frenchman also had to play all but two Premier League games and suffered from fatigue at times. He’s not the perfect striker and didn’t have a perfect season but he did stand out as a more than capable striker, just not a world class one. Wenger’s team had a host of good results this season, but none come close to their extra-time cup final victory over Hull City to end their nine year trophy drought. The FA Cup winners also had big 2-0 wins over both Liverpool and Napoli early in the season. Both were not just big results, but they were some of the best performances of the season. The North London club beat local rivals Tottenham three times over the course of the season. The Gunners also beat Liverpool once again in their run for the FA Cup. Arsenal became the first English team to win at the Westfalenstadion in their 1-0 win over Borussia Dortmund. REGRETS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS While 2013-2014 was a pretty strong season for Arsenal, it is a season with some serious regrets. The biggest regret of Wenger’s team will be the injuries they suffered, specifically the injuries to Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott. The squad suffered without Ramsey and Walcott. After losing, not only those two, but also Ozil, Koscielny, and Wilshere for extended periods, the Gunners crashed out of the title race. The other regret for the season was the inability to win a knockout tie in the Champions League. After losing the final group game to Napoli, the North Londoners were paired up with Bayern Munich in the round of sixteen. They really had very little chance to beat the German champions, but it is still a disappointment they were unable to win a knockout tie. The disappointments of the season were the horrific losses away from home. Wenger’s team lost games to Manchester City 6-3, Liverpool 5-1, Chelsea 6-0, and Everton 3-0 – all away from home. Every one of those games was a bitter disappointment. The worst of the bunch was probably the 6-0 to Chelsea. On Arsene Wenger’s 1000th game in charge of Arsenal, the Gunners were crushed in every fashion. It was an embarrassment for Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, all of the players, and all of the fans. SUMMER OBJECTIVES Arsenal’s objective for the summer is simple, to push on and build upon this season and their FA Cup victory. Arsene Wenger has two huge needs that must be addressed this summer and will have a third if Bacary Sagna leaves, which looks likely. The Gunners are desperate for a defensive midfielder and an upgrade upon Giroud at centre-forward. Obviously, they will also need to replace Bacary Sagna if he leaves. Arsene Wenger will want to avoid losing players as every team does, but with eight first team players signing new deals this season (nine if you count Ozil singing his contract) it does not look like the North London club will have too many players looking to leave. The only real concerns, outside of Sagna are for squad players like Vermaelen and Podolski. If Arsenal can get real world class players at defensive midfield and striker, as well as add depth to their squad, they can become serious title contenders. While there are some regrets in Arsenal’s season, it should be considered a success. The FA Cup winners recorded their highest points total (79) in six years and got the monkey off their back by breaking their nine year trophy drought. Arsene Wenger showed the ambition fans have been begging them to show by splashing £42.4m on Mesut Ozil. The play of the team was noticeably better than it has been the last couple of years, especially when they were fully fit. While there will be many people thinking what if this, what if that, this season should be remembered for the great things that did happen.

The 2020 Audi E-Tron posits a simple question: what if you want an EV that isn't a Tesla? Despite what members of the Cult of Elon might say, there are reasons for this. Maybe you don't like the company's styling, or its founder, or you just want to be different. Perhaps build quality and an established dealer network are high defined. In that regard, the Audi E-Tron ticks the right boxes. While Audi falls short of Tesla-beating performance or range - two inarguably important metrics - the disparity between it and a Model X isn't so great that there's a clear-cut case against the Audi. Purchasing a high-dollar electric crossover is always going to require a degree of rationalizing. The E-Tron just takes a bit more rationalizing than the equivalent Tesla. Design Credit to Audi for building an EV without feeling the need to figuratively shout it from the rooftop with some extreme piece of design. By and large, the E-Tron is just a better looking Q8. We prefer its neater grille, which features silver highlights instead of the Q8's angry, black design. The headlights are tidier too, with less visual mass on the bottom section. In back, a vehicle-spanning LED strip ties together the slim taillights. Again, this is a cleaner, more restrained look compared to the Q8, which adds a thick black bar underneath its lighting element. By virtue of its emphasis on aerodynamics, the E-Tron's bumper, with its silver-painted accents, is more restrained than the Q8, which features prominent exhaust outlets for its gas-powered engine. The E-Tron's cabin adopts the glass-cockpit look featured in the Q8, as well as the A6, A7, and A8. There are three displays - a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen at the top of the center stack, and an 8.8-inch touchscreen below the main display but ahead of the gear selector - and each features impressively pretty graphics. Beyond that, the interior's design is clean and minimalistic with handsome matte wood and subtle silver accents. Our favorite interior touch, though, is the steering wheel, which has a nifty four-spoke design that mimics the yoke of an airplane. It's very cool. Comfort Like most EVs, the E-Tron offers excellent noise, vibration, and harshness control, owing to the silent propulsion system. Without the engine noise (aside from the simulated audio note of the pedestrian warning system), the E-Tron is impressively quiet in urban conditions, shrugging off impacts from road imperfections and the roar of its low-rolling-resistance tires. At higher speeds, the sound of the wind rarely interrupts the serene cabin experience. In addition to that plus, the E-Tron does all the comfort-focused things other Audis do so well. The front seats are supportive and comfortable, whether dicing down a canyon road or cruising down the freeway. There's enugh range of adjustability in the seat, although our tester's optional massage function hardly seems like a conducive use of the E-Tron's electrons. Forward visibility is solid, and the blind spots are minimal. The second-row bench is roomy for two adults, with plenty of leg and shoulder room. As with most vehicles this size, we'd advise against adding a third full-grown human to the mix, although it's doable over short distances. There's ample cargo space - 28.5 cubic feet with the seats up and 57 cubes with the second row folded. That means only a minor sacrifice from the Q8, which has 2.0 and 3.7 more cubes, respectively. The cargo floor is pretty high, though, so loading and unloading isn't always that easy. A standard air suspension helps matters. In the cabin, meanwhile, there's plenty of space for stuff, with sizable door pockets and a giant cubby in the center console. We like this touch, but wish Audi offered a way to cover it up, to better hide valuables. Performance handling No, the Audi E-Tron is not as quick as a Tesla Model X. It's not as quick as a Jaguar I-Pace or Mercedes-Benz EQC, either. Set to its most aggressive drive mode, Dynamic, the E-Tron can scoot to 60 in a relaxed 5.5 seconds. That is unquestionably slow in a world where the most affordable Tesla Model X can hit 60 in 4.4 seconds. But particularly for a customer that's only driven gas-powered cars, the immediacy of the E-Tron's 414 pound-feet (up to 490 lb-ft in Boost mode, which comes in automatically when Dynamic mode is active) is eye-opening, especially when deploying the torque in bursts rather than in sustained acceleration. While performance fades with the pedal held down, a sudden blast – like when trying to shoot a gap in traffic – reveals the powertrain to be suitably punchy. Still, anyone who has experienced the extreme performance of a Tesla product will find this EV lacking. Hopefully, Audi's RS line will get a crack at the all-electric game and introduce a variant with more aggressive acceleration. Overall straight-line performance might be lacking, but there's a real likability here, especially around town. There are no histrionics in how the E-Tron accelerates. Its single-speed automatic is unobtrusive and eager to engage, even from a standstill. The only real issue is that it's so much slower than its competitors. A big part of that is down to weight, though. At around 5,500 pounds (Audi still hasn't published weight figures), the E-Tron is heavier than the Mercedes EQC and the Model X Long Range despite both having larger, heavier batteries. That mass has a negative impact on handling, although as expected, handling in the real-world conditions of metropolitan Detroit is better than on the twisting Californian roads we first experienced it. Our rating reflects that point, calling the E-Tron neither above or below average on a handling front. The brakes operate like a lot of EVs, in that in many conditions, the physical brakes don't come into play unless you need to come to a complete stop. Instead, the electric motors slow the car and recuperates energy in the process, a typically smooth, predictable practice. But when we really dug into the brake pedal and triggered the physical calipers/rotors, there was a noticeable shudder as the car realized it needed more stopping power than the motor could provide. This disconcerting sensation only cropped up when we were actively testing the braking. Audi remains one of the premiere brands for in-car technology and the E-Tron is a reminder of that fact. The two-screen infotainment setup is excellent, offering attractive graphics and impressive responsiveness. The menus are a little dense, but the learning curve isn't egregiously steep. There's also an impressive level of reconfigurability, so owners can optimize the layout of the upper screen based on their needs. The E-Tron ticks the box with advanced equipment, too, offering wireless charging, a gorgeous digital instrument cluster, and a wireless hotspot. There's even a nifty toll collection system, so you won't need to attach a stupid box to your windshield for driving on toll roads. All of those things come standard. On top of the infotainment and advanced tech, the E-Tron's standard equipment list ticks all the right boxes. Heated and ventilated front seats, LED headlights, an air suspension, a Bang and Olufsen audio system, a surround-view camera system, and four-zone climate control are all standard on the base E-Tron. That's a solid suite of gear. The other main options are a $650 Towing package that allows the E-Tron to tow up to 4,000 pounds and a $900 Cold Weather package, which adds heated outboard rear seats, heated windshield washer jets, and an enhanced in-cabin heater and preconditioner. The E-Tron offers the entirety of Audi's active safety suite at no additional cost on the base model. It's standard on our Prestige tester. Standouts include full-speed adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with a vehicle exit sensor, traffic sign recognition, and lane departure warning with lane centering. And these systems work extremely well. On the freeway, the active safety is proactive without feeling intrusive. You can drive, and just let the systems work in the background, gently nudging you back towards the center of a lane, braking the car gently, and applying throttle without leaning too hard on the battery. This is a very likable, usable suite of technology. Along with the LED headlights, the E-Tron is an impressively safe vehicle.
