Defining the 'national and native' discourse
Burhanettin Duran Posted On September 13, 2017
Politics is about not just concrete policies but also discourse. Sometimes, discourse defines policy. Other times, policy generates the content of discourse. In recent years, the main discourse of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) has been to be "national and native."
This rhetoric has been employed in a range of areas including the war on terror, the new system of government and efforts to promote a sense of unity and solidarity. In other words, the "national and native" discourse aims to explain one's identity and political goals as well as to develop an inclusive and founding language. It serves to transform Turkey into a more active player in the international arena – just as earlier references to "conservative democrats" and "our civilization." As such, it is much bigger than the identity of a single political party. Instead, it has become a description of Turkey's shared ideals that cuts across social groups.
In other words, the "national and native" discourse aims to explain one's identity and political goals as well as to develop an inclusive and founding language.
It is therefore that the "national and native" discourse not only refers to the civic-democratic resistance against the July 15 coup attempt. At the same time, it encompasses the resistance against all the challenges and attacks that our country has encountered since 2013. It is about being from Turkey and promoting the consciousness of putting Turkey's interests first. As such, both the "secular" PKK and the "religious" Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) are being sanctioned by the people because they work against Turkey's interests. Likewise, Turkey's criticism against the international order, along with the problems in the European Union and NATO, are filtered through the same type of political consciousness.
It is possible to argue that the "national and native" discourse is somewhat vague. Never since 2011 has the AK Party talked about its identity within a rigid ideological framework. As such, the movement doesn't mind keeping its current discourse somewhat ambivalent. As a pragmatic party, it might even consider that vagueness a good thing. The most concrete effort to describe the content of "national and native" was the addition of the Rabaa sign (one nation, one flag, one homeland, one state) to the AK Party charter. However, this emphasis on "oneness" does not eliminate the ambivalence discussed above.
Under the circumstances, the AK Party faces a crucial question: Who creates the content of "national and native" and how? Is it being defined by civic-democratic groups that stood up for the people's right to choose, neo-Kemalists/Eurasianists, opponents of the European Union or the security bureaucracy? Of course, we can reasonably believe that the discourse claims to represent all social groups and therefore is constructed by everyone at the same time. In this sense, it is possible to argue that "national and native" covers the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and the Republican People's Party (CHP) bases as well as Kurdish nationalists who consider themselves part of Turkey. But still, we must pay attention to how the discourse is being shaped.
Needless to say, the AK Party – which represents half the electorate, ought to make a greater contribution to the definition of "national and native." After all, the movement is no longer in the early stages of its development, when it presented itself as a group of "conservative democrats" at home and abroad. Nor can it use the "civilization" discourse as it did when Turkey laid claim to the emergence of a new order in the Middle East. Quite the contrary, our country is experiencing the negative side effects of civil wars in Syria and Iraq as well as tensions with the United States and the European Union. Add to that the burden of having governed the country for 15 years and the picture should become clearer.
What could happen if we don't monitor the content of the "national and native" discourse? Citing the presence of Syrian refugees, the opposition might use it to generate a type of populist nationalism. Under the pretext of fighting FETÖ, religious communities could be identified by "the state" as a threat. As the war on terror continues, Kemalist sensitivities might take hold over officials. Or "national" could be defined by anti-Western Eurasianists in their own way behind the smokescreen of criticizing the hostile policies of the U.S. and the European Union.
My point is that the AK Party must define the content of "national and native" – a discourse to which it makes frequent references. This is an issue that cannot be outsourced and handed over to political allies.

CitationBetts v. Betts, 3 Wn. App. 53, 473 P.2d 403, 1970 Wash. App. LEXIS 890 (Wash. Ct. App. 1970)
Brief Fact Summary. Michael Betts and his former wife, Rita, divorced in California and Rita moved to Washington with Tracey Lynn, their five-year old daughter, and their son, James. James, 2 years old, died a week after Rita and the children began living with another man. James died of multiple injuries.
Synopsis of Rule of Law. The hearsay evidence rule prohibits the use of testimony in court of a statement made by another person out of court which is offered to show the truth of the matter asserted.
Facts. Michael Betts and his former wife, Rita, divorced in California and Rita moved to Washington with Tracey Lynn, their five-year old daughter, and their son, James. James, 2 years old, died a week after Rita and the children began living with Raymond Caporale. James died from internal injuries and multiple bruises on the head and body. Caporale was charged with second-degree murder, but he was acquitted. Michael Betts moved to Washington and remarried. Rita married Caporale and moved to California. Tracey Lynn lived in a foster home in Washington as she was placed in protective custody after the death of James. Michael Betts sued his former wife Rita over the custody of their five year old daughter, Tracey Lynn. He was awarded custody and Rita appeals the judgment. Rita argues that the trial court erred in admitting evidence from Tracey Lynn's foster mother. Her foster mother testified about Tracey Lynn's reaction to the news that her mother married Caporale. The fost
er mother testified that Tracey Lynn made several statements indicating Caporale killed her brother.
Issue. Did the testimony by the foster mother violate the hearsay rule in that she testified as to various statements made by Tracey Lynn regarding Caporale and her brother's death?
Held. Chief Justice Armstrong issued the opinion for the Washington Court of Appeals in holding that the foster mother's testimony did not violate the hearsay evidence rule.
Concurrence. Justices Pearson and Petrie concurred in the judgment but did not issue a separate opinion.
Discussion. The statements of Tracey Lynn were not admitted to prove that Caporale killed her brother. The statements are not hearsay because they were admitted to show the state of mind of Tracey Lynn regardless of the truth of the statements.

According to a recent survey released by Dotcom Distribution, online retailers' packaging can do more than enhance the customer experience. Products that are 'attractively packaged' can actually lead to a ripple of residual marketing effects, which increases online retailers' overall revenue in the long run. For ecommerce retailers, packaging is even more important and more valuable than their brick-and-mortar counterparts.
The value of packaging extends far beyond a simple casing. The box itself can become a residual marketing promotion, making it a worthwhile investment. According to the Dotcom Distribution survey, there is a 74% chance that 18-25 year olds will share a picture of the packaging on social media. Brands with a target market of young-adults can especially benefit from using premium packaging as a marketing tool.
Offering premium packaging is an excellent way for online retailers to gain word-of-mouth advertising, the most effective form of marketing, as well as increased customer loyalty.
The 2013 Ecommerce Packaging Survey results from DotCom Distribution show strong opportunities for customer loyalty development simply by using premium packaging.
Eighty-three percent of those consumers that would share a picture of an attractively packaged online order would do so on Facebook.
Customers associate the quality of the product with the quality of the packaging, so it is highly imperative that online retailers do not underestimate the power of packaging.
60% said it's important for retailers to deliver products in "sustainable" packaging, such as packages made with recycled material.
BirchBox is one of the biggest subscription commerce businesses in the ecommerce world right now. They have set out a brand position with a colored outer box. In addition, they have figured out that the outer box gets damaged in distribution, so they have added an inner corrugated cardboard box with a foil stamp. This inner box creates the sense of a more upscale experience. While an inner box may cost more, the return on investment is evident in their customers' responses on social media.
This consumer's response is what every ecommerce store should aim for with their packaging.
Instead of investing time and money into viral marketing campaigns, online businesses can try a different approach by making the product's packaging itself viral. The peer-to-peer promotion has an explosive effect when online retailers offer creative or attractive packaging.
Customers will immediately notice premium packaging from the moment it arrives at their doorstep. They will also be more motivated to re-use the packaging and share it with their friends, acquiring new customers for the brand.
Premium packaging increases loyalty. Customers will keep purchasing from the retailer based upon their association between quality packaging and quality products.
Customers naturally share attractive packaging on social media accounts, especially young adults. Retailers can place a friendly note in the package to prompt customers to mention the brand on social media when they share.
Sustainable packaging is always a winner. Retailers can increase customer satisfaction by offering re-usable packaging. Customers and mother earth will be happy and the whole world will be a greener place because of it.

National Pomegranate Month on November, 2019: What exactly are the health benefits of pomegranates?
The fruit features in Greek mythology in the story of Persephone, daughter of the harvest goddess Demeter. Hades, the lord of the underworld, kidnapped the beautiful maiden. Because she ate a few pomegranate seeds before being rescued, she had to spend several months every year in the underworld with him. According to the myth, that?s when the earth was forced to endure winter.
Modern stories about pomegranates are not quite as fanciful as the myth, but there is a lot of buzz lately about the exotic fruit. How much is supported by scientific research?
Pomegranates grow wild from Iran to northern India, but they are cultivated throughout India, the Middle East, southern Europe and California. Scientists in Israel have been conducting research on the health benefits of pomegranates and pomegranate juice for years, and now others have joined in.
What are pomegranates good for? Researchers report that they are rich in antioxidants that can keep bad LDL cholesterol from oxidizing (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, May 2000). This degradation of LDL seems to be an initial step in the development of atherosclerosis. In addition, pomegranate juice, like aspirin, can help keep blood platelets from clumping together to form unwanted clots.
Does this make any difference clinically? More recent research has found that eight ounces of pomegranate juice daily for three months improved the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle of patients with coronary heart disease (American Journal of the College of Cardiology, Sept. 2005). Other researchers report that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may help combat erectile dysfunction (Journal of Urology, July 2005).
Investigators are also excited about the possibility that pomegranate compounds might prevent prostate cancer or slow its growth. In mice, treatment with pomegranate extract delayed the development of tumors and improved survival (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Sept. 26, 2005). Other research reports suggest that pomegranate juice might help reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Even arthritis may yield to the power of pomegranates. Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have reported that tissue cultures of human cartilage cells respond to pomegranate extract. Inflammation is reduced and the enzymes that break down cartilage become less active (Journal of Nutrition, Sept. 2005). This is still far from a prescription for aching joints, but most experts agree that a little pomegranate won?t hurt and might help.
One traditional use of pomegranate juice is to calm diarrhea. We have seen no research supporting this claim, but we have heard from a reader with personal experience: ?One of the best things to take for diarrhea is pomegranate juice, which can be found in grocery stores. You can actually get constipated if you drink too much (as I found out!)?
A word of caution: Pomegranate juice appears to interfere with certain medications much as grapefruit juice does (Drug Metabolism and Disposition, May 2005). So when grapefruit juice is risky, pomegranate juice might be as well.
Persephone might have done better to resist eating pomegranate seeds, but modern science suggest most of us could benefit.

Likewise, the daughter and mother symbolize Ireland and its motherland, England. Consequently, the mother laments about her daughter's feminism and independence. This in turn, symbolizes the national tension and constant struggle between Ireland and England over the Irish's attempts to gain independence. The mother, also known as England, acknowledges how "the legend will be hers as well as mine. She will enter it. As I have. She will wake up." Thus, England admits to the inevitability of Ireland's passion for freedom, happiness, and justice. Similar to a daughter growing up, England admits that once Ireland changes, the daughter's fate of rebellion and freedom is inevitable. Like the mother, the daughter uses legend to restore history which symbolizes Ireland restoring its history and state.

Q: Find the Ricci tensor from given product metric quickly I am having trouble calculating the Ricci tensor. Suppose the product $I\times S^n$ has metric
$$g=dt^2+f^2(t)g_{S^{n}}$$
where $g_{S^{n}}$ is the standard metric on $S^{n}$, what is the Ricci tensor of this metric?
I have tried to do it for $n=2$ by writing the metric as
$$g=\begin{pmatrix}1&0&0\\0&f^2&0\\0&0&f^2\sin^2\theta\end{pmatrix}$$
In a standard way, I calculated the Christoffel symbols and using the definition of Riemann tensor, of course, It is not wise to do similar thing in higher dimension. I am thinking that since the hypershpere is a manifold of constant sectional curvature 1 and the Ricci tensor is $$Ric=(n-1)g_{S^{n}}$$ Can we write the Ric on $I\times S^n$ from the Ric on $S^n$ and the product factor $f(t)$ quickly? But I don't know how to proceed. Any hint will be appreciated.
