 Uredba (EU) br. 509/2014 donesena je 20. svibnja 2014. te je stupila na snagu 9. lipnja 2014. U srpnju 2014.

 . Vijeće je 9. listopada 2014. Komisiji dostavilo pregovaračke smjernice.
 Prvi sporazumi o ukidanju viza potpisani su 6. svibnja 2015. (Ujedinjeni Arapski Emirati), 26. svibnja 2015. (Timor-Leste) i 28. svibnja 2015. (Dominika, Grenada, Samoa, Sveta Lucija, Sveti Vincent i Grenadini, Trinidad i Tobago te Vanuatu) i privremeno se primjenjuju od datuma potpisivanja do njihova stupanja na snagu. Vijeće je odobrilo potpisivanje drugog niza sporazuma o ukidanju viza s Tongom (potpisan 20. studenoga 2015.), Kolumbijom (potpisan 2. prosinca 2015.), Kiribatijem (datum potpisivanja treba odrediti) i Palauom (potpisan 7. prosinca 2015.). Ta se četiri sporazuma privremeno primjenjuju od sljedećeg dana od dana potpisivanja do njihova stupanja na snagu.
 Pregovori s Maršalovim Otocima započeli su 17. prosinca 2014. i odvijali su se putem razmjene pisama. Daljnjim razmjenama postignut je dogovor o svim aspektima. Glavni su pregovarači parafirali sporazum razmjenom pisama 11. prosinca 2015. (Maršalovi Otoci) i 13. siječnja 2016. (Unija). Države članice obaviještene su tijekom sastanka Radne skupine za vize u okviru Vijeća koji je održan 18. siječnja 2016.
 2.PRAVNA OSNOVA
 Sa strane Unije, pravna je osnova sporazuma članak 77. stavak 2. točka (a) Ugovora o funkcioniranju Europske unije (UFEU), u vezi s njegovim člankom 218.
 Priloženi prijedlog pravni je instrument za sklapanje sporazuma. Vijeće će odlučiti kvalificiranom većinom nakon što sporazum u ime Unije potpiše osoba koju je imenovalo predsjedništvo Vijeća te nakon dobivanja suglasnosti Europskog parlamenta u skladu s člankom 218. stavkom 6. drugim podstavkom točkom (a) UFEU-a.
 3.ISHOD PREGOVORA
 Komisija smatra da su ciljevi koje je Vijeće postavilo u svojim pregovaračkim smjernicama postignuti i da je nacrt sporazuma o ukidanju viza prihvatljiv za Uniju.
 Njegov konačan sadržaj može se sažeti kako slijedi:
 Svrha
 Sporazumom se građanima Europske unije i državljanima Maršalovih Otoka omogućava boravak bez vize na državnom području druge ugovorne stranke od najviše 90 dana u bilo kojem razdoblju od 180 dana.
 Kako bi se osiguralo jednako postupanje prema svim građanima EU-a, u sporazum je uključena odredba prema kojoj Maršalovi Otoci mogu suspendirati primjenu sporazuma ili ga otkazati samo u odnosu na sve države članice Europske unije te da i Unija može suspendirati primjenu sporazuma ili ga otkazati samo u odnosu na sve države članice.
 Posebni položaj Ujedinjene Kraljevine i Irske prikazan je u preambuli.
 Područje primjene
 Ukidanjem viza obuhvaćene su sve kategorije osoba (nositelji običnih, diplomatskih, službenih i posebnih putovnica) čija svrha putovanja ne uključuje obavljanje plaćene aktivnosti. Svaka država članica i Maršalovi otoci mogu za tu kategoriju uvesti obvezu posjedovanja vize za državljane druge stranke u skladu s primjenjivim pravom Unije ili nacionalnim pravom. Kako bi se osigurala usklađena provedba, sporazumu je priložena zajednička izjava o tumačenju kategorije osoba koje putuju u svrhu obavljanja plaćene aktivnosti.
 Trajanje boravka
 Sporazumom se građanima Europske unije i državljanima Maršalovih Otoka omogućava boravak bez vize na državnom području druge ugovorne stranke od najviše 90 dana u bilo kojem razdoblju od 180 dana. Zajednička izjava o tumačenju tog razdoblja od 90 dana u bilo kojem razdoblju od 180 dana priložena je sporazumu.
 Sporazumom se uzima u obzir položaj država članica koje još ne primjenjuju u cijelosti schengensku pravnu stečevinu. Sve dok nisu dio schengenskog prostora bez unutarnjih granica, ukidanjem viza državljani Maršalovih Otoka stječu pravo boravka od 90 dana u bilo kojem razdoblju od 180 dana na području svake od tih država članica (trenutačno su to Bugarska, Hrvatska, Cipar i Rumunjska), neovisno o razdoblju izračunatom za cijeli schengenski prostor.
 Teritorijalna primjena
 Sporazum sadržava odredbe o njegovoj teritorijalnoj primjeni: u slučaju Francuske i Nizozemske, ukidanjem viza državljani Maršalovih Otoka imali bi pravo na boravak samo na europskim područjima tih država članica.
 Izjave
 Osim prethodno spomenutih zajedničkih izjava, sporazumu su priložene još dvije zajedničke izjave:
 –o pridruživanju Norveške, Islanda, Švicarske i Lihtenštajna provedbi, primjeni i razvoju schengenske pravne stečevine,
 –o potpunom širenju informacija o sadržaju i posljedicama sporazuma o ukidanju viza i povezanim pitanjima, kao što su uvjeti ulaska.
 4.ZAKLJUČAK
 Imajući na umu navedene rezultate, Komisija predlaže Vijeću da, nakon što dobije suglasnost Europskog parlamenta, odobri Sporazum između Europske unije i Republike Maršalovih Otoka o ukidanju viza za kratkotrajni boravak.

Οι κυριότερες κοσμολογικές θεωρίες που προβλέπουν μεταβολή της σταθεράς παγκόσμιας έλξης είναι:
 Θεωρία Brans-Dicke
 Θεωρία στηριγμένη στην Αρχή του Μαχ βάσει της οποίας η αδράνεια κάθε σώματος και η μάζα του εξαρτώνται από την επίδραση του συνόλου της συμπαντικής ύλης πάνω του.
 Εισηγητές της θεωρίας είναι οι αστροφυσικοί Brans και Robert Dicke. Σύμφωνα με τις απόψεις τους εφόσον το Σύμπαν διαστέλλεται τότε οι αποστάσεις μεγαλώνουν, η πυκνότητα του σύμπαντος μικραίνει και ως εκ του αποτελέσματος η επίδραση του συνόλου της συμπαντικής ύλης πάνω στα σώματα μικραίνει. Αυτό συμπερασματικά σύμφωνα με την αρχή του Μαχ μας οδηγεί στο συμπέρασμα ότι όσο περνάει ο χρόνος η αδράνεια και η μάζα των σωμάτων μικραίνει πράγμα που οδηγεί στην μείωση της τιμής της σταθεράς παγκόσμιας έλξης (G). Η θεωρία προβλέπει αρχική μεγάλη έκρηξη άρα συμβαδίζει με την θεωρία του Big Bang.
 Θεωρία Dirac
 Ο Πολ Ντιράκ κατέληξε στο ίδιο συμπέρασμα με άλλο σκεπτικό. Βλέποντας ότι η τιμή της ηλικίας του σύμπαντος μετρούμενη σε te (δηλαδή σε χρόνο που απαιτείται προκειμένου το φως να διατρέξει την ακτίνα του ηλεκτρονίου), ο λόγος μεταξύ βαρυτικής προς ηλεκτρονική δύναμης Ηλεκτρονίου- πρωτονίου και η τετραγωνική δύναμη των σωματιδίων του σύμπαντος είναι σχεδόν ίδιες κατέληξε στα εξής:
 Θα πρέπει να ελαττώνονται οι μάζες ηλεκτρονίου και πρωτονίου ή η Σταθερά Παγκόσμιας Έλξης συναρτήσει του Χρόνου.
 Ο αριθμός των Σωματιδίων θα πρέπει να αυξάνεται αυξανόμενης της ηλικίας του σύμπαντος
 Η θεωρία παρουσιάζει πολλές ομοιότητες με την θεωρία Brans-Dicke καθώς και με την θεωρία Συνεχούς Δημιουργίας. Παρόλα αυτά έχουν και πολλές διαφορές.

Drastische koerswijziging | Focus on America
 ← President Trump viert een half jaar belastingverlagingen
 President Trump spreekt met premier Mark Rutte →
 Nieuwe rechter Hooggerechtshof zorgt voor feest bij Republikeinen
 Conservatief Amerika viert feest. En daar ze hebben alle reden voor. De Republikeinen zijn blij. Wat je ook van president Donald Trump vindt, hij komt zijn beloften na. Of het waarmaken van die beloften iets goeds is, daar is Amerika hevig verdeeld over. Maar de wispelturige en onvoorspelbare president houdt conservatief Amerika wel tevreden. Onder Republikeinse kiezers is Trump mateloos populair. Maar liefst 90 procent van de Republikeinen vindt dat Trump zijn werk goed doet. Dit is een ongekend hoog percentage. President George W. Bush haalde hetzelfde percentage vlak na de aanslagen van 11 september 2001.
 Het succes van Trump heeft hij mede te danken aan beslissingen van het Hooggerechtshof. Trump droeg vlak na zijn aantreden de conservatieve rechter Neil Gorsuch voor als nieuwe rechter voor het Hooggerechtshof na het overlijden van de conservatieve rechter Antonin Scalia. De Republikeinen gebruikte een controversiële procedure om Gorsuch te benoemen. Maar de benoeming van Gorsuch betaald zich nu uit.
 Het Hooggerechtshof heeft met een stemming van 5 stemmen voor en 4 tegen het inreisverbod voor inwoners uit een aantal moslimlanden definitief goed gekeurd. De travel ban was al twee keer aangepast, nadat eerdere versies door rechtbanken met succes werden aangevochten. De derde versie die eind 2107 werd ingediend werd door het Hooggerechtshof goed gekeurd, maar het hof gaf aan nog een definitieve uitspraak te doen. Dat heeft het nu gedaan. Volgens de vijf rechters valt het inreisverbod binnen de bevoegdheid van de president en mag hij het vanwege de nationale veiligheid handhaven.
 De wet betekent dat inwoners uit Libië, Somalië, Iran, Syrië, Noord-Korea, Venezuela en Jemen toegang tot Amerika mag worden ontzegd. Tjsaad is van de lijst gehaald. Omdat ook Noord-Korea en Venezuela op de lijst staan gaat het niet meer primair om moslims. Eerdere rechtbanken hadden de wet verboden, omdat de wet moslims uitsloot en het dus om discriminatie ging. Trump heeft ook de bevoegdheid om landen aan de lijst toe te voegen. Het inreisverbod maakt Amerika helemaal niet veiliger. Veel terroristen die aanslagen in Amerika pleegden kwamen uit andere landen of woonden al jaren in Amerika.
 Er kwam veel kritiek op het besluit van het Supreme Court. Democraten noemde de beslissing een slecht signaal en vinden dat er nog steeds sprake is van discriminatie. Trump leek zelf ook enigszins verbaasd dat de derde versie van de wet wel stand houdt, maar liet via Twitter weten verheugd te zijn.
 Het Hooggerechtshof kwam met nog meer goed nieuws voor conservatief Amerika. De bakker uit Colorado die weigerde om een taart te bakken voor de bruiloft van een homostel kreeg gelijk. Het Hooggerechtshof gaf hem gelijk. Op basis van zijn geloofsovertuiging mocht hij het homostel als klant weigeren. Homo organisaties zijn teleurgesteld en zien in het besluit dat met een conservatieve rechter en de regering Trump LGBTQ rechten nog niet echt een prioriteit zijn.
 Ook de vakbonden kregen van het Hooggerechtshof ongelijk. Er was een zaak aangespannen door vakbondsleden. Vakbonden zouden het geld van hun leden gebruiken om vooral Democratische politici te steunen, zoals werkgevers vaak Republikeinse politici steunen. Volgens het Hooggerechtshof is het bezwaar van de leden van de vakbonden gegrond en dus mogen vakbonden het lidmaatschapsgeld hier niet voor gebruiken.
 En daarnaast gaf het Hooggerechtshof de regering Trump toestemming om eerdere besluiten rondom het recht van immigrantentieners die een abortus laten plegen naast zich neer te leggen. Ook op dit besluit kwam veel kritiek, Volgens veel progressieve groepen en Democraten moeten vrouwen over hun eigen lichaam kunnen beschikken, dus ook over abortus. Het Supreme Court gaf geen duidelijke uitleg en sprak zich dus niet uit over abortus in het algemeen. Het recht op abortus ligt vast in de uitspraak Roe vs. Wade zaak. Hier ging om een migrantentiener die zonder tussenkomst van de rechter een abortus had laten plegen.
 Het Hooggerechtshof keurde ook het herindelen van kiesdistricten, het zogenoemde gerrymandering, waar Democraten tegen zijn, goed. Gerrymandering werkt op dit moment in het voordeel van de Republikeinen.
 Daarnaast maakte rechter Anthony Kennedy bekend dat hij met pensioen gaat. Dit geeft president Trump de mogelijkheid om een nieuwe rechter voor te dragen. En dit zal een conservatieve rechter zijn waar de Republikeinen blij mee zijn. Kennedy was een rechter die vaak een doorslaggevende rol speelde en stemde onder meer voor het homohuwelijk. Door de benoeming van een nieuwe rechter kan het Hooggerechtshof drastisch veranderen. De verhouding is nu 5 conservatieve rechters en 4 liberale rechters. Twee van die rechters zijn door president Obama zijn aangesteld. Zeker bij ingewikkelde zaken kan de verhouding belangrijk zijn. Trump heeft nu kans om de verhouding tussen conservatieve versus liberale rechters van 5-4 naar 6-3 te veranderen. En een rechter wordt voor het leven benoemd en dus kan Trump de koers van het Amerika met deze rechter voor decennia beïnvloeden.
 Progressieve belangengroepen maken zich zorgen. LGBTQ-activisten zijn bang dat met een nieuwe conservatieve rechter het Hooggerechtshof misschien het homohuwelijk wil afschaffen. Belangengroepen die opkomen voor vrouwenrechten zijn bang dat er misschien opnieuw zaken over abortus worden aangespannen. Abortus was niet ongrondwettelijk in de Roe vs. Wade rechtszaak. Daarnaast staat ook Obamacare op het spel. Het Hooggerechtshof oordeelde eerder dat de zorgwet niet ongrondwettelijk is.
 Trump heeft dus de kans om met een nieuwe rechter de koers van het land voor de komende decennia drastisch te wijzigen. Conservatief Amerika likt zijn vingers er bij af. Trumps presidentschap is nu al geslaagd. Door de benoeming van een nieuwe rechter voor het Hooggerechtshof zal Trump voor decennia zijn stempel drukken op de koers die Amerika gaat varen.
 Niet alleen de bekendmaking dat rechter Anthony Kennedy met pensioen gaat zorgde voor opschudding in Washington. Er was nog iets wat werd gezien als een drastische koerswijziging. Ook bij de Democraten was er opschudding. De 28 jarige Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez uit New York zorgde bij de voorverkiezingen voor een zetel in het Huis van Afgevaardigden voor een verrassing. De Democratische kandidaat versloeg de zittende afgevaardigde Joe Crowley.
 In het district dat de New Yorkse wijken The Bronx en Queens bestrijkt versloeg Ocasio- Cortez Crowley met een ruime voorsprong. Ze kreeg 57,13 procent van de stemmen. Crowley zat voor dit kiesdistrict al 10 termijnen in het Huis en dacht een makkelijke herverkiezing tegemoet te gaan. Hij had de steun van de Democratische partij en beschikte over veel meer geld dan Ocasio-Cortez. Maar Crowley, die werd gezien als de opvolger van Nancy Pelosi, was arrogant en al het contact met zijn kiezers verloren. De Democratische partijtop moet zich afvragen waar het fout ging. De winst van Ocasio-Cortez geeft wel aan dat Democratische partij linkser wordt en steeds meer activistische mensen naar voren brengt. Is dit ook een teken dat de koers wijzigt?
 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez heeft een Puerto Ricaanse moeder en groeide op in The Bronx. Ze werkte als serveerster en als opbouwwerker. Ze is welbespraakt, energiek en weet wat ze wil. De jonge 28 jarige ging wel de deuren langs en zocht echt contact met haar kiezers. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez noemt zich zelf een Democratische socialist en voerde eerder campagne voor Bernie Sanders. Ze is voor een gratis ziektekostenverzekering voor iedere Amerikaan, gratis hoger onderwijs, de garantie op een baan, strengere wapenwetgeving, een einde aan de privatisering van gevangenissen en ze wil de ICE, de organisatie die verantwoordelijk is voor het opsporen en de deportatie van illegalen afschaffen. Als ze in november wint kan ze de jongste vrouwelijke afgevaardigde in het Huis van Afgevaardigden ooit worden.
 Zo kan Amerika dus drastisch veranderen, Het Hooggerechtshof is de laatste jaren verder gepolitiseerd en kan voor decennia de koers van Amerika bepalen. De kans bestaat dat met een zeer conservatief Hooggerechtshof verworvenheden waar jaren lang voor is gestreden worden terug gedraaid. Dat zal overigens niet zonder slag of stoot gaan. Mensen als Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez zullen de oude elite ter verantwoording roepen en vechten voor het behouden van de verworvenheden die men heeft. De jonge generatie laat zich dit niet meer afnemen, ondanks het feest bij de Republikeinen.
