These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

    20 INTERNATIONAL PARKING INSTITUTE | AUGUST 2014 POWER STRUGGLE Charger squatting is coming to a space near you. Are you ready? By Kim Fernandez HAPPENS ALL THE TIME: Driving down the road, you glance at your fuel gauge to see it’s nearly empty. You pull into the gas station, line up behind IT the car at the pump, and see there’s nobody there actually pumping gas. Maybe that driver is in the convenience store or the restroom or off wandering the neighborhood—who knows? But they’re not refueling; they are blocking the pump, heaven only knows how long they’ll be gone, and you still need gas. Frustrating? You bet. Now transfer that scenario to a parking garage or lot, swap out your SUV for a Nissan Leaf, and picture that gas pump as an electric vehicle (EV) charger that’s blocked by a car that’s not charging. The owner could come back in an hour or a day. There’s no way to tell. But it’s the only charger in the facility, and you need it.

  • Avoiding and Transforming Power Struggles
    Avoiding and Transforming Power Struggles Ø Remember that you are an adult and can take the first steps out of this situation Ø Realize that this is about power, not about the topic you are arguing about Ø Realize that the power struggle may be you or the other person’s only way of knowing and showing that you or she are important – find another, more effective way to express that need to be important Ø Use the conflict as a way of knowing each other’s feelings and thoughts and fears Ø Check to see if you and the other person really have time for this Ø Realize that the power struggle may be about previous bad experiences, not about the topic Ø Take “no” as a negotiating point, not a red flag Ø Help the other person to save face during the power struggle Ø Sidestep – offer an alternative at the beginning of the power struggle Ø Keep your voice neutral and your tone low Ø Avoid known trigger topics during the power struggle Ø You don’t always have to win – accept that and move on Ø Let others have the last word Ø Use conflict and negotiation skills – get training in these Ø Move away from the audience – don’t let your kids see you engaged in a power struggle Ø Sit down – make your body lower than the other person’s – it will diffuse the tension Ø Don’t get drawn into one if either of you is tired Ø Listen to the other person Ø Don’t moralize, sermonize, or use put downs Ø Listen to yourself, monitor your own behaviour Ø Ask the other person for ideas on how to resolve the problem Ø As soon as the other person moves the slightest bit toward compromise, you do the same Brenda McCreight Ph.D.

  • SPIRITUAL WARFARE Power Struggle Series - Part 1 Ben Rudolph
    SPIRITUAL WARFARE Power Struggle Series - Part 1 Ben Rudolph Good morning Life Fellowship. It is so good to be with you here this morning. Last October, which feels like a decade ago, our staff met together for a staff retreat in order to make plans for 2020. We had all these plans and ideas, and one of the things we did was we broke up into three different teams. And each team came up with some things we thought our church needed to hear from God, because we are a church that ultimately wants to hear from God through His Word. We prayed and we talked and we shared ideas of what we thought our church needed for 2020 in our teaching series. And every group said they thought we needed to study spiritual warfare. Every staff member and every pastor in our church felt that they sensed something, and they saw things that were happening, and felt that we needed to understand as a church that we are at war. And we need to understand that there are things happening all around us. Maybe you can sense it. Maybe you have noticed that when you try to do something right that there seems to be something standing in your way, that there seems to be opposition and oppression. So one of the things that we want to do with this series is to become aware of the spiritual warfare that is happening in us and around us. Eugene Peterson said this: “The basic nature of history is warfare.” And that is not just nation against nation.

    SPIRITUAL STRONGHOLDS Power Struggle Series - Part 4 Ben Rudolph Good morning Life Fellowship. It is good to see you here this morning. Turn in your Bibles to II Corinthians Chapter 10 where we are going to be this morning. I hope that you have been enjoying this series. For the last two weeks Pastor Dan has just done an amazing job. He talked about the power over sin two weeks ago and then last week the power over schemes as we have been looking in this series on spiritual warfare. We need to realize that as we live our lives we don’t just live in the material world, we don’t just live our lives freely walking with God, but we need to understand that there is an enemy that attacks us every moment of every day. One of the reasons why we were doing this series is so that we will be aware of how the enemy works. But even more so is the reason that we can have faith in what God is doing in spite of the enemy’s attacks. Part of this series is not so that we look upon the darkness of spiritual forces, and that we get scared and we retreat; the point of this is to understand what the enemy wants to do, how he is working and how he is active, and then understand how God is working in greater ways over the enemy of darkness. Amen? (Amen.) So that is why we are studying this. One of the fears of studying spiritual warfare is that we can get so caught up in looking at what the enemy is doing we fail to look at what God is doing.
