Pious goldsmith
There lived a goldsmith in a city. The man was very pious and honest. Every day before the sun rose, he would go to work. His shop was in front of the ruler's palace. Every day before opening the shop, the goldsmith would raise his hands to the sky and pray: "O All-Wise, All-Sufficient! O All-Forgiving! You are the Infinite Owner! You are Almighty over everything. Even if something falls to the bottom of the sea, You have the power to return it to a dry state!" He would open the shop door with this prayer.

Mideast mediator Oman at the center of a key first Iran-US meeting over Tehran’s nuclear program
The Sultanate of Oman is one of the few nations in the intricate web of Middle Eastern diplomacy to have earned a reputation for quiet but effective mediation. Oman, which is located on the Arabian Peninsula's southeast coast, has once again attracted international attention because it hosted the first significant Iran-US meeting in recent years regarding Tehran's nuclear program. This latest diplomatic engagement, held discreetly in Muscat, marked a cautious but potentially consequential step in efforts to revive dialogue between Washington and Tehran. Oman's involvement is both a strategic maneuver that demonstrates its growing role as a regional peace broker and a testament to its long-standing neutrality in light of Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Experiments in Gender . AI-Generated.
Experiments in Gender: Women and Masculine Dress Fashion has been both a reflection of society's views on gender throughout history and a means by which individuals can express themselves. The adoption of masculine attire by women is one of this aspect's most striking and transformative trends. Women's experiments with masculine clothing have often challenged cultural norms, questioned gender binaries, and redefined femininity itself, far more than a sartorial choice. In the 19th century, the idea of women donning trousers or suits was radical, even scandalous. Women were expected to adhere to strict codes of dress that emphasized modesty and delicacy. However, figures like Amelia Bloomer—an early advocate for women’s rights—began to experiment with reform dress, which included loose trousers known as "bloomers" worn under a shorter skirt. Though heavily criticized, Bloomers represented one of the first visible challenges to the rigid fashion expectations placed on women, linking clothing reform to wider calls for social and political equality.

Supreme Court Temporarily Pauses Deportations Under Alien Enemies Act. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
In a significant decision that has the potential to reshape immigration enforcement in the United States, the Alien Enemies Act, an obscure but significant 18th-century law, has temporarily halted deportations. The Biden administration's use of the statute to expedite the removal of noncitizens from nations considered adversarial to the United States has raised a growing number of legal and ethical concerns. This unexpected action comes amid these concerns. The Court's pause indicates that it is willing to investigate whether this centuries-old law conforms to contemporary constitutional principles of due process and civil liberties. What is the Alien Enemies Act? The Alien Enemies Act, which was enacted as part of the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, gives the president broad authority to detain, imprison, or deport male citizens of a hostile nation during war or declared conflict. In contrast to standard immigration laws, this statute permits summary removals without formal hearings, obviating traditional due process safeguards. Even though it is rarely used, the law has been used at significant points in American history. During World War II, for the sake of national security, the government detained and deported thousands of people of Japanese, German, and Italian descent. Law professors have debated for a long time whether the act, which was written when France was involved in undeclared naval conflicts, still applies in today's legal environment. Why did the Supreme Court get involved? The current legal dispute stems from the Biden administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to expedite deportations of individuals from countries with strained diplomatic ties to the United States, such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Critics contend that the administration's broad legal interpretation jeopardizes constitutional rights, particularly the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process. A federal appeals court had previously granted the government's request to continue deportations. However, due to the emergency stay granted by the Supreme Court, these removals have been put on hold while the justices consider whether or not to take up the case. The Supreme Court may be considering whether the law of 1798 conflicts with current legal standards, according to legal experts, particularly in light of recent decisions that strengthened rights to due process in immigration cases. Risky Legal Matters: Does the Alien Enemy Act conflict with existing safeguards for due process? Can the president deport noncitizens unilaterally without judicial review? Is the law's gender-based distinction, which only applies to males, unconstitutional in light of equal protection principles? Civil Rights Organizations: Organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the National Immigrant Justice Center have praised the pause as an essential safeguard against arbitrary deportations. Reactions: A Clear Divide Between Security and Civil Rights. The Supreme Court's intervention has sparked intense discussion among policymakers, legal professionals, and advocacy groups. They argue that the law was written in the 18th century and should not be used to get around basic legal protections. Government and National Security Advocates: Officials within the Department of Justice and Homeland Security maintain that the act remains a necessary tool to address emerging threats, particularly in an era of heightened geopolitical tensions.
