The computer world is presently locked in a race to produce the futuristic fifth generation computer, one which will simulate some parts of human intelligence. At the back of this is the current interest in expert systems and their adaptation to petroleum exploration and development. Converging hardware and software technologies, combined with industry requirements, show a definite trend to move from the emphasis on hardware and operations systems toward software and informational systems. It is not possible to predict the precise form in which this will impact petroleum industry operations but it is certain that much greater analytical power and control will rest in the hands of the interpreters enabling much higher rates of productivity and effectiveness in the location of hydrocarbon reservoirs.

The years since the beginning of the twenty-first century have seen a significant incursion of international human rights law into the domain that had previously been the within the exclusive purview of international humanitarian law. The expansion of extraterritorial jurisdiction, particularly by the European Court of Human Rights, means that for many states, the exercise of physical power and control over an individual outside their territory may engage the jurisdiction of human rights obligations. Understanding the expansive tendencies of certain human rights tribunals, and the apparent disdain they have for any ambiguity respecting human rights, it is offered that the uncertain nature of the law surrounding humanitarian relief during blockades could leave blockading forces vulnerable to legal challenge under human rights legislation, particularly in cases in which starvation occurs as a result of a blockade.

In 2 Cor. 10–13, Paul tries to prove his authority as a reliable leader by using two different masculinity standards. Paul manifests his power and control over the Corinthian church members by using an image of paterfamilias (11.2-3; 12.14). Paternal control of others was an essential element of hegemonic masculinity in the Greco-Roman world. Moreover, Paul proves his manliness by revealing his endurance and submission to divine authority (11.21b–12.10) according to the Hellenistic Jewish masculinity. I argue that Paul is embedded in these different cultural assumptions regarding masculinity and that he refers to these assumptions to persuade Gentile and Jewish groups in the Corinthian church.
