# Unity of Patriots of Georgia

Unity of Patriots of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს პატრიოტთა ერთობა, romanized: sakartvelos p'at'riot'ta ertoba) is declaration for cooperation between different ultraconservative movements in Georgia.

## History

In 2016, the similar Alliance of Patriots of Georgia, United Opposition managed to gain 5.01% and thus barely crossed the threshold and became the only party other than Georgian Dream (GD) and the United National Movement (UNM) to do so. In 2020, Alliance of Patriots of Georgia (with a joint list with Left Alliance) gained 3.14%, Georgian Idea gained 0.43%, Georgian March gained 0.25% and the Traditionalists led by Akaki Asatiani gained 0.02%.
Some parties like Eri called for a union of the ultra-conservative movements. In January 2022, 40 parties and civic organizations signed the declarations for the United Front of Georgian Patriots. One of the listed parties, the People's Party denied their involvement instead claiming a pro-western orientation similar to the National Democratic Party.
On June 24, 2024, ten conservative parties and civic organizations signed the "Declaration of Unity of the Patriots of Georgia," starting a coalition aimed at unifying traditionalist forces to promote a conservative agenda in the next parliament. The declaration invited all individuals who shared this worldview to join, fostering inclusivity while critiquing the dominant narratives of the GD and the UNM, which have "marginalized conservative voices." Its primary goal is to ensure robust representation of conservative values and interests in the Georgian Parliament.
On the list of the Alliance of Patriots for the 2024 parliamentary election, there are candidates from the Conservative Movement/Alt-Info, Georgian Idea, the Christian-Democratic Movement, Georgian Mission, the Conservative-Monarchist Party [ka] and National Unity. The Left Alliance (which signed the 2022 declaration) submitted their own list.

# Purchasing process

Purchasing is the formal process of buying goods and services. The purchasing process can vary from one organization to another, but there are some common key elements.
The process usually starts with a demand or requirements – this could be for a physical part (inventory) or a service. A requisition is generated, which details the requirements (in some cases providing a requirements specification) which actions the procurement department. A request for proposal (RFP) or request for quotation (RFQ) is then raised. Suppliers send their quotations in response to the RFQ, and a review is undertaken where the best offer (typically based on price, availability and quality) is given the purchase order.
Purchase orders (PO) can be of various types, including:
* standard - a one time buy
* planned - an agreement on a specific item at an approximate date
* blanket - an agreement on specific terms and conditions: date and quantity and amount are not specified.
Purchase orders are normally accompanied by terms and conditions which form the contractual agreement of the transaction. The supplier then delivers the products or service and the customer records the delivery (in some cases this goes through a goods inspection process). An invoice is sent by the supplier which is cross-checked with the purchase order and documents specifying which goods have been received. The payment is then made and transferred to the supplier.

# Screwdriver (cocktail)

A screwdriver is a simple and popular alcoholic highball drink made with orange juice and vodka. In the UK, it is referred to as a "vodka and orange". While the basic drink is simply the two ingredients, there are many variations. Many of the variations have different names in different parts of the world.

## History

The drink originated during World War II, when Americans in China and Turkey mixed neutral spirits with orange juice. The origin of the name "screwdriver" is less clear, but the name appeared in Ankara, Turkey, in 1943 and 1944 and later in Istanbul. Variations on the recipe were present in 1948 in Turkey and also called screwdrivers, such as a mixture of one-third vodka and two-thirds gin, and another recipe adding gin, cognac, bitters, and other ingredients to orange juice and vodka. An unattributed but popular story for the name is that the Americans lacked a spoon and instead used a screwdriver as a stirring stick. Another unattributed story is that auto workers in the US used to pour vodka in their breakfast orange juice before starting the shift and used screwdrivers to stir the glass.
Starting mid-1950s, vodka rose rapidly in popularity in America, and mixed drinks such as the screwdriver rose with it. Advertising campaigns in the 1950s and 1960s by vodka brands such as Smirnoff cemented the screwdriver as a vodka favorite.

## Variations

The screwdriver served as the foundation of the Harvey Wallbanger.
A screwdriver with two parts of sloe gin, one part of Southern Comfort, and filled with orange juice is a "sloe comfortable screw" or "slow comfortable screw".$^{:153}$
A screwdriver with one part of sloe gin, one part of Southern Comfort, one part Galliano, and filled with orange juice is a "sloe comfortable screw up against the wall".$^{:155}$
A screwdriver with one part of sloe gin, one part of Southern Comfort, one part Galliano, one part tequila, and filled with orange juice is a "sloe comfortable screw up against the wall Mexican style".
A "virgin screwdriver" is a mocktail (non-alcoholic variation), usually made with orange juice and tonic water.
A screwdriver with apple juice instead of orange juice is an "Anita Bryant cocktail". Bryant was an American singer and spokeswoman for the Florida Citrus Commission during the 1960s and 1970s. Starting in 1977, she became an anti-gay-rights activist. Because Bryant promoted orange juice, the gay community retaliated by boycotting it in the 1977–1980 Florida orange juice boycott. Gay bars across North America stopped serving screwdrivers and invented this cocktail to replace it. The sales and proceeds of the cocktail went to gay rights activists and helped fund their work against Bryant. The campaign was ultimately successful, as Bryant's activism damaged her musical and business career. Her contract with the Florida Citrus Commission was left to expire in 1980 after they stated she was "worn out" as a spokesperson.
# West Green House

51°18′04″N 0°55′55″W﻿ / ﻿51.301°N 0.932°W﻿ / 51.301; -0.932
West Green House is an 18th-century country house and garden at West Green in Hartley Wintney in the English county of Hampshire. The house is listed Grade II*. It is known for its gardens and for its summer season of opera.

## History

The house was built in the early 18th century, by General Henry Hawley, who led the cavalry charge at the Battle of Culloden.
At the beginning of the 20th century the Playfair family employed the architect Robert Weir Schulz to remodel the north front of the house and to design new gardens. After the Playfairs left West Green House five years later, the new owner, Evelyn, Duchess of Wellington continued to improve the gardens. The Duchess and her friend Yvonne Fitzroy occupied the house and garden for many years. Victor Sassoon bought the house and allowed the Duchess and her friend to live in house until the Duchess's death in 1939 and Fitzroy's death in 1971.
The National Trust has owned the house since 1971, after being left the property by Victor Sassoon in 1957. Alistair McAlpine acquired the lease in 1976 and added monuments designed by the classical architect Quinlan Terry.
The house was damaged by an IRA bomb attack in 1990. McAlpine had left the house three weeks previously, at the expiration of his lease.
Marylyn Abbott bought the lease from the National Trust in 1993. She had previously developed her well-known Kennerton Green garden in Mittagong, New South Wales, Australia. The gardens at West Green house now extends beyond the 18th century walls to beyond a lake created in 1997 which is surrounded by a series of perimeter gardens, one a fountain “ Paradise Garden”, another a 190 meter serpentine of iris crossed by five wisteria clad bridges. With six walled gardens, each individually planted from checkerboard topiary, to tropical plants in summer, and oriental plants around two dragons, it is a garden known for its theatricality. Alongside the garden, there is a gift-shop and cafe.

## Opera

Marylyn Abbott is the former marketing and tourism manager of Sydney Opera House and instituted an opera season at West Green House which is held annually in July and August. Today the opera is performed from a stage cantilevered from the lake's island with the audience seated in covered pavilions lake side.
In 2012, West Green House hosted a production by the Garsington Opera Emerging Artists programme.
