Se conoce como Batalla de Burdeos al partido de fútbol entre Brasil y Checoslovaquia realizado el 12 de junio de 1938 en el Parc Lescure de Burdeos, Francia, como uno de los partidos de cuartos de final de la Copa Mundial de 1938. El partido tuvo una serie de faltas brutales por ambos lados, debido al arbitraje laxo del árbitro húngaro Pál von Hertzka.

Incidencias

Brasil tomó la delantera 1-0 al minuto 30 con gol de Leônidas, con Checoslovaquia igualando al minuto 65 por un tiro penal convertido por Oldřich Nejedlý. Los brasileños Martim y Zezé Procópio, así como el checoslovaco Jan Říha fueron expulsados. Fue la primera vez que tres jugadores fueron expulsados en un partido de la Copa Mundial, un récord que no se superó hasta el partido de la Copa Mundial de 2006 entre Portugal y Holanda. El capitán František Plánička y Oldřich Nejedlý de Checoslovaquia sufrieron una fractura en el brazo derecho y la pierna derecha respectivamente en el caos. Su compañero de equipo Josef Košťálek resultó herido en el estómago. El partido se empató 1–1 después de 90 minutos de tiempo completo, y se tuvo que jugar un tiempo extra de 30 minutos. Nejedlý había abandonado el juego antes del final del tiempo regular debido a su lesión, pero Plánička permaneció adolorido en el gol checoslovaco durante el resto de la segunda mitad y el tiempo extra. Otros tres brasileños, incluidos Leônidas y Perácio, también abandonaron el campo con lesiones.

El partido finalmente terminó 1-1 después del tiempo extra, y tuvo que jugarse un desempate 2 días después, con ambos equipos teniendo que colocar varias reservas. Brasil ganó el desempate 2–1, eliminando a Checoslovaquia y avanzando a semifinales, donde se enfrentaron a los eventuales campeones Italia.

Polo Fields: What to Know
Polo is the oldest game in the world today. The first polo match was played in Persia. Persians were battling with Turcoman. Polo was introduced in the United States of America in 1877. Meadowbrook Polo Club was the first club to play the game. The club is located in Long Island, New York. It is the most exciting and fastest growing game across the world. It is very dangerous and requires a lot of protective gear. The protective gear includes a helmet, knee pads, boots, elbow pads, eye protection, and mallet.
The polo field is regular in size. It is 300 yards long and 150 yards wide. The polo field is bigger than nine football fields. It gives players plenty of space to move around and run. The basic terms that one should know about the game include chukker, umpire, throw-in, know-in, penalties, groom, and handicaps. Chukker is a sport for six chukkers. Umpire is the referee in the field. The referees are supposed to be two in the whole field. The third referee stays on the sides of the field.
Throw-in is a form of default game when the sport is starting. The referee stands between the two teams and determines the possession of the throw-in. Knock-in is a situation when a player goes out of the lines and when a penalty is awarded. Penalties are regularly awarded in the polo field. The umpires blow their whistles when they spot a foul. The groom is also very important in the field. This is the person who prepares the horses before the game starts and during practice. Players are supposed to surrender their horses to the groom who feeds and takes care of them. Handicaps are the rankings in the field. They are ranked from 2 to 10. The ranking is based on sportsmanship, horsemanship, and the ability to play.
The rules of the game are complicated. New players who do not have experience in the game face a lot of challenges when they start. They increase their experience as they play. It is important to note that the line of the ball is used by umpires to locate and award foul. A particular distance should be established for purposes of crossing the line and having access to the ball. The players should ride their horses on the right side of the line. Many rules must be followed in order to keep the sport safe for horses and riders. Extensive rules are updated annually.

It all starts with a simple question: How do I add a popup on WordPress?
Yet, this simple question has vast implications.
In this article, we'll explain the different kinds of popups you can create for your WordPress site, how you can create the best WordPress popup ever, and how to choose the best popup plugin.
Let's not waste any more time: Here we go!
Before uncovering the secrets of the best WordPress popups, it's worth detailing all the different kinds of popups available and what they're best used for.
Lightbox popups or lightbox modals are probably the most popular kind of popups.
The popup is displayed on top of an overlay. The overlay darkens the page and highlights the popup so that the user can focus on its message.
Let's not beat around the bush here: lightbox popups are very intrusive. They literally interrupt whatever your user was doing on your website.
So they're usually displayed on exit (see next section to understand what this means) to catch the user's attention at the last minute. We recommend that you not display them as soon as your user lands on your website, as you could put her off.
Exit popups, sometimes called exit-intent popups, are triggered when the user's mouse reaches the top of the screen to close the current tab or window.
Until recently, they were available only on desktops. But it's now possible to create mobile exit popups based on a different algorithm (user scrolls up or presses the back button).
Exit popups are great for catching your users before they leave with an attractive offer or to ask for feedback.
Yes, mobile popups are different from their desktop counterparts. Mostly for SEO reasons. But also for UX reasons: the user experience is very different when you're using your fingers instead of a mouse.
To adapt to these two constraints, mobile popups are usually smaller – for SEO reasons – and require a focus on usability (how hard is it to close it? to interact with it?) for UX reasons.
Here's an illustration on Asana's blog. They display a thin bar featuring a "Subscribe" call-to-action that triggers a full-size popup on click. The call-to-action is subtle, yet very easy to click. When it comes to the popup itself, it's very easy to leave your email, yet at the same time, easy to close if you change your mind.
Slide-in popups appear from one of the screens' sides when the user scrolls down the page.
Here's a demo on thisiscolossal.com.
This kind of pop-up is usually found on blog posts, as it allows marketers to promote their newsletter without interrupting the visitor while he's reading the article.
If you want to see more examples of WordPress popups, I recommend this article.
Now that we've covered the different formats, let's discuss the best practices.
You're probably already aware that popups frustrate a lot of Internet users.
One of the main reasons a lot of users get pissed off about popups is that they keep showing up again and again.
So do your visitors a favor and set your popup to appear only once in a while, and set a maximum number of displays for your campaigns so that your loyal users don't have to keep seeing your popups all the time.
It goes without saying (although not all plugins include this option) that you should also exclude the users who have already joined your email list or accessed your website from your newsletter.
If you have enough traffic, segment your campaigns.
Having multiple campaigns will allow you to tailor your message to your audience and increase your conversion rate.
Here's an example on our own blog where the popup's copy matches the content of the page the user is currently browsing.
If you're creating an email signup popup, make sure to add an incentive to your popups.
AB tests run by our clients show that they have a major impact on the conversion rate of opt-in modals.
Take the example of this online retailer. When they add an incentive to their popup (in this case, a chance to win a free pair of shoes), their subscription rate can reach up to 20%. When they don't, their conversion rate peaks at 2%.
This doesn't apply only to e-commerce. If you're running a blog or have a B2B business, you need to think about something that you can offer to convince your potential subscribers to add their email to your marketing list.
It can be a free ebook, a PDF transcript of the article they're reading, a free sample, etc.
If you don't offer anything, make sure to point out what makes your newsletter worthwhile and why they should subscribe immediately.
Visuals can reinforce your message and help your visitors visualize the benefits they'll get from receiving your newsletter.
Unfortunately, when it comes to popups, there's no one-size-fits-all strategy.
That's why we recommend you experiment with your modals.
Trigger and timing test: try displaying your popup on landing vs. a few seconds later, on landing vs. on the second page, on landing vs. on exit, etc.
Try different incentives: no incentive vs. an ebook, no incentive vs. free sample, etc.
Test your wording: from your headline to your call-to-action, make sure to optimize every word that you include in your modal.
Try different positions (in a test on our blog, we were able to increase our click-through-rate by 60% by switching from a popup displayed on the right side to a popup displayed on the left side).
Now that we've discussed the theory, let's discuss the practice.
What plugin should you use to build your popups?
Well, as someone working for a popup solution myself, it might be unfair to suggest names. But I'll be happy to detail the elements that are worth checking when you choose a popup builder.
Of course, finding a free plugin is always nicer than to have to pay for a plugin.
Plus, the WordPress ecosystem was built on open source and free solutions.
But, when it comes to WordPress plugins, it's a different story. Plugins can introduce vulnerabilities, slow down your website or even crash it.
So before picking a plugin because it's free, make sure it looks legit and that it's really free (there are a lot of Freemium plugins that pretend to be free).
One-time payment: Some solutions allow you to pay a fixed fee to download and use the plugin forever. One example is Ninja Popups (they charge a one-time fee that must be renewed to benefit from their support).
Subscription-based: These solutions require a monthly payment to use their popup solution. This is the case for WisePops and Popup Maker, for example. Be careful- not all of these solutions use the same pricing models. For some, you pay the same price whatever your traffic. For others, you'll pay a different amount depending on the number of popups displayed, page views or sessions. Some solutions also charge an extra fee to unlock premium features.
I recommend you prepare a mockup of the popup you'd like to design before trying any solution. And only then – after you have a design in mind – test the solutions. This will allow you to get a realistic idea of whether the solution can work for you or not.
Targeting is usually the weakest area of WordPress popup plugins.
What triggers does it include by default? Can you create exit popups? Trigger messages when users scroll down?
How easy is it to create an audience? Does it allow you to select visitors coming from a specific source of traffic? Can you differentiate new and returning visitors?
How far can you go in terms of segmentation? Can you limit your popups to URLs containing specific keywords? Can you create your own segments (for example, logged in users)?
Responsiveness: can you separate your mobile and desktop campaigns? How do the popups behave on large screens? Smaller screens?
A screenshot of one of our campaigns' targeting scenario. The popup is configured to appear only for users who are getting close to the end of their free trial.
And last but not least, does it integrate with your Email Service Provider? If so, how far does it integrate?
For example, if you're using MailChimp, can you select the destination list for your new subscribers in your MailChimp popup? Can you trigger a welcome email? Can you collect hidden details to enrich the contact?
Sometimes, simple matters such as adding a popup to your website prove more difficult than expected. I hope this article will help you build the best WordPress popup faster!
If you have any questions, feel free to share them in the comments.

Q: Help in understanding the demonstration of Seifert's Theorem (about Hopf Vector Field) I'm reading the book "The dynamics of vector fields in dimension 3" - "Matthias Moreno and Siddhartha Bhattacharya". On page 10 the authors define

Hopf flow on $\mathbb{S}^3$: We identify $\mathbb{S}^3\subset \mathbb{C}^2$ with $\{ (z_1,z_2):|z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 = 1\}$, and we define the flow $\phi$ on $\mathbb{S}^3$ by $$\phi^t(z_1,z_2)= (e^{2i\pi t} z_1 , e^{2i\pi t} z_2). $$

The author doesn't write this in the book, but I think that the Hopf vector field is $H: \mathbb{S}^3 \to T \mathbb{S}^3$; $H(a+ib,c + id) = ( (a+ib, c+ id) , 2\pi(-b + i a ,-d + ic)$.
After this, the book does the following procedure (sorry for the big image).

My problem is in the demonstration of the Lemma 1, I really don't understand what he did.

My Doubts about the Lemma's demonstration:
1) I think in the underlined part in blue is $\pi^{-1} (C)$ instead
of $C$ (because doesn't make sense an orbit of $X_i$ lies in $C$).
2) The underlined red part doesn't make much sense to me, how
these $h$'s are taken? Which periodic orbits were used to construct
those Poincare's first return map?
3)  And finally, about the green
underlined text, anyone knows where can I find a demonstration of this
property?

Can anyone help me to understand this demonstration or propose another reference to I see the demonstration of this theorem (Seifert's Theorem)?

Newly appointed Brazil women's national team head coach Emily Lima has announced her 23-player squad for next month's International Tournament of Manaus.
In the tournament, Brazil will compete against Costa Rica, Russia and Italy. The two best teams will compete in the final with the remaining two disputing the match for third place.
Of the 23 players that Emily Lima has called up to the squad, 13 competed in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in which Brazil finished fourth.
Marta is not in the selection as she had already requested to be released from this tournament to the previous coach Vadão and has made the same request to her new coach Emily Lima. As the International Women's Football Tournament is not a FIFA date, clubs are not obliged to release their players so therefore Cristiane and Erika who play for French club PSG have not been included in the list.
The International Tournament will be a farewell competition for Formiga who recently announced her retirement from international football, although it is rumoured that Emily Lima will have discussions with the player in view of keeping her a part of the squad.
Due to the high temperatures in recent days in Moldova, the organizers of the tournament, with the consent of all participating teams, decided to change the start time of matches.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker aims for higher office
By Alana Semuels, Los Angeles Times
NEW YORK — The crowd in the Upper West Side bookstore practically cooed when the mayor of Newark, looking like the college football tight end he once was, strode into a book signing and gave the audience a bashful smile.
Cory Booker, here because he wrote the forward to a book about homelessness, spent the next half-hour talking about his father's roots in poverty and the kindness of humankind, throwing in references to friends such as entertainer Tyler Perry and author Alice Walker, and, presumably because this is New York, using some Yiddish.
"When I first became mayor of Newark, I said I was a prisoner of hope," he said in a speech brimming with optimism. "Now I use a new metaphor — hope unhinged."
Booker is preparing to ride that message to higher office. Last week he said he would explore the possibility of running for U.S. Senate in New Jersey in 2014, and in the run-up to that announcement he was invited to talk about poverty on "Meet the Press," gun control policy on "Piers Morgan Tonight" and his growing fame on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart."
His personal feats are well-publicized. Among other things, he rushed into a burning building to rescue a neighbor, and he spent a week on food stamps after being prompted to do so by a Twitter follower. He sends out dozens of tweets a day, often to individual constituents, and has more than a million followers — more than four times the population of the city he governs.
Some observers say Booker, who is African American, is a Barack Obama-style phenom who could be the next post-racial politician.
"He's very bright. He's probably seen by the Obama people as among the best of the up-and-comers" in the Democratic Party, said Carl Golden, an analyst with the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy in New Jersey.
Booker, 43, graduated from Stanford University and Yale Law School and was a Rhodes scholar. He was elected mayor of Newark — New Jersey's largest city and one of the nation's most troubled — with 72% of the vote in 2006. His reelection vote in 2010 dropped to 59%, reflecting continuing approval but also disquiet over higher taxes and cuts in city services, and a sense in some quarters that the mayor was getting ready to move on.
"Because the mayor is envisioning greater heights — and I wish him well — he's not doing the same kind of things that got us elected," said Councilman Ronald C. Rice, who ran on Booker's ticket in 2006. "He hasn't had a community meeting since 2010. He doesn't come to the ward and hear our complaints."
Illustrating the political divisions in the city, Booker's recent appointment of an ally to the Newark Municipal Council led to a near-riot in the council chambers; police had to intercede using pepper spray.
Booker says his record speaks for itself. Crime will be down this year compared with 2011, the city's population is growing for the first time in decades, affordable housing has doubled, and the budget deficit has been cut significantly.
He also started networking with national figures who might never have paid attention to Newark. He convinced Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg to give $100 million to improve Newark schools. Oprah Winfrey donated $1.5 million to Newark nonprofit groups. A foundation created by Brad Pitt opened an affordable-housing complex for veterans in the city.
"I set out on this concerted effort to bring the world to Newark," Booker said in an interview. "I was going to have to be the kind of mayor that dragged people — kicking and screaming, if necessary — to invest in my city in ways they weren't going to invest before."
Joe Taylor, chief executive of Panasonic North America, said that Booker was persistent in getting the company to relocate from Secaucus to Newark. Though the company received a big tax credit from the state, Taylor said that Booker's determination to change Newark helped convince him it would be a good hub for U.S. operations.
"He was incredibly hands-on," Taylor said.
Newark still has a long way to go. About a third of the city's residents live below the poverty level, and its crime rate is often among the worst in the nation. Newark houses so many tax-exempt organizations like churches and universities that it's consistently short on revenue. To contend with the city's structural deficit, Booker laid off hundreds of government workers and raised property taxes by 16%, which didn't exactly earn him friends around town.
"Education? Forget about it. Security? Forget about it. He talks a lot, but the guy's got nothing done in six years," said Bernardino Coutinho, a leader in the Portuguese community and one of the veteran Democrats whose influence was curbed by Booker's rise.
"He's a politician — they promise everything, but they don't do much," said Manny Lopes, the owner of a hardware store in the Ironbound district of Newark. "For the money we put into property taxes, we should have more police."
Jon DaSilva, 24, who also works in the Ironbound district, said that in the last few months the house across the street, the apartment upstairs and the trophy store where he works have been burglarized. He's tried to call City Hall to get a concealed weapon permit, but no one answers the phone, he said.
But other residents see progress and say that nearly all urban mayors find it difficult to turn around a city in two terms.
"Where Cory deserves a lot of credit is that there's a vigor to his cheerleading that makes the city look like a better place to do business," said Patrick Hobbs, a longtime resident who is dean of the law school at Seton Hall University. "There's a sense of optimism about Newark that did not exist five years ago."
Booker will need to win a large proportion of urban centers like Newark if he does decide to run for the Senate. He seems confident that the local critics will not be a problem.
"We're going to have a very strong base in the city of Newark for anything we want to do in the future," he said.

|What conditions can TCM treat?
If you have questions regarding the use and efficacy of TCM for you, please feel free to give us a call.

Updating the church's web presence. Most candidates will look at a church's website and/or social media before self-referring their profile/resume.
Identifying the appropriate pools in which to look for candidates that match your church's needs. Outlets that appeal to candidates who don't share your congregation's lived values will not result in a long list of potential fits.
Getting the word out to these candidates. For candidates to consider your position, they must first know about it.
What does our church's web presence say about us?
What means of getting the word out about our open position align with our congregation's identity? With the interests of the kinds of candidates we seek?
Under what circumstances can/should we consider candidates outside our denomination? How do we reach out to those candidates?
What does our pool of candidates tell us about our church? Our search process?
Excitement and curiosity as the candidate mulls the position announcement, begins to research your congregation and community, and sends profile or resume.
Confusion if conflicting, outdated, or minimal information is available on the position and your congregation.
Inner turmoil if the candidate was not looking for a new position but a recommendation, phone call, or chance encounter prompted consideration of the opportunity.
The congregation has updated its website so that information is accurate, helpful, and interesting.
The search team has circulated the position announcement among all relevant outlets and resource people.
The search team has communicated with all candidates who have sent materials to acknowledge receipt and inform about next steps and timeline.

More quotes by Elizabeth Edwards
A positive attitude is not going to save you. What it's going to do is, everyday, between now and the day you die, whether that's a short time from now or a long time from now, that every day, you're going to actually live.
Maybe we all change over time.
I can't turn on the television without seeing me, or open the newspaper without seeing me and, honestly, I'm sick to death of me.

David Dorn: The Hero Whose Funeral You'll Never See
AP Photo/Andrew Harnik
By Tré Goins-Phillips
Without fanfare or media frenzy, Capt. David Dorn was memorialized Tuesday. At the same time, Al Sharpton was eulogizing someone he never met, George Floyd, a man whose death has gripped the country, and whose unjust killing sparked an array of riots — one of which resulted in Dorn's murder last week.
Dorn was 77 years old when he was cruelly shot by a looter in St. Louis, and his death was broadcast on Facebook Live. He served nearly four decades as an officer in the St. Louis Police Department, and he survived. He went on to become the chief of police in the small town of Moline Acres in Missouri, and he survived.
Critics Warn: 'Think About the Consequences' of Defunding Police
But when riots broke out with participants claiming to champion black lives, Dorn was left on the streets to die after a rioter killed him to steal a TV.

What happened to George Floyd was wrong; Americans are united on that. He deserves justice. What happened to David Dorn is also wrong, but unfortunately, his death — along with the death of Dave Patrick Underwood, a black officer in the Federal Protective Service, and the ambush of four cops in St. Louis — doesn't fit the narrative of the Black Lives Matter organization: "Defund the police." How can you tout such a radical agenda (one with which Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-avowed socialist, doesn't even agree) while also demanding justice for two black law enforcement officers murdered during the riots?
As Sharpton and Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, paid tribute to Floyd — and took potshots at President Donald Trump and the NFL along the way — hundreds of people were quietly remembering Dorn at his memorial in St. Louis, a mournful affair apparently undeserving of the kind of press attention bedazzling Floyd's tragic and likewise unjustified killing.
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley (R), who has called the idea of defunding the police "insane," presented a resolution to Congress this week to honor law enforcement, particularly Capt. Dorn.

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) June 9, 2020
"David Dorn was a man of great character who dedicated his life to helping others and protecting his neighborhood," Hawley said in a statement, according to the St. Louis Dispatch. "His life of honor and dedication reminds us of the vital service the good men and women of law enforcement render to our communities every day. We depend on them, people like David Dorn."
Despite his heroism, there was no media frenzy to cover Dorn's death. In fact, there is a deep disparity between the way the press has treated Floyd's unjust killing and Dorn's unjust killing. The former, which fits an anti-police narrative, has resulted in wall-to-wall coverage as well as memorials and a star-studded funeral — a common decency everyday Americans have been barred from doing for three months due to endless lockdowns, many of their loved ones still waiting to be buried.
Lil Wayne Shares Counter-Narrative Experience with Police: 'I Was Saved By a White Cop'
Much like theirs, Dorn's passing has gone largely unnoticed.
Floyd's wrongful death sparked countless protests and riots over police brutality. When the demonstrations turned increasingly violent, though, claiming the lives of people like Dorn, the retired police officer's family held a rally of their own, marching down Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard in St. Louis. They demanded peace.

Much as it was for Dorn's memorial Tuesday, many in the press were no where to be found then, either.

�Deputy Prime Minister-Foreign Minister� Turgay Avci has said that concrete steps to be taken by the United States towards establishing trade and cultural ties with �North Cyprus� will encourage other states to follow suit and will motivate the Greek Cypriot Side to work towards a solution.
The �Foreign Ministers� words came during his address to the 26th Turkish American Business Council - the American Turkish Council joint annual conference on Turkish-US relations.
Speaking at the conference, the �Foreign Minister� reminded that over the past 3 years, the United States had taken some positive steps towards helping ease the international �isolation� of the Turkish Cypriot people.
He cited the visit of US Congressmen to �North Cyprus� through Ercan Airport (occupied Tymbou airport), �President� Mehmet Ali Talats official visit to Washington under the title of President, President Talats meeting with the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the 30.5 million dollars worth of US financial assistance provided for the �Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus� as good examples of Washingtons efforts towards lifting the �isolation�.
Expressing the belief that concrete steps to be taken by the worlds leading actor, the United States towards removing the international �isolation of North Cyprus� will encourage other countries to follow in its footsteps, Mr. Avci said that it was essential to start direct flights to-and-from Ercan airport (occupied Tymbou airport) to improve trade links between �North Cyprus� and foreign countries.
He also noted that such a move will also encourage the Greek Cypriot Side to work towards a solution in Cyprus.
Drawing attention to the �unjust discrimination� faced by the Turkish Cypriot �People�, the Foreign Minister called on the international community to remove the isolation.
Reminding that the Turkish Cypriot �people� had voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Annan Plan during the 2004 referenda and has been in support of all efforts towards a solution since 1968, Mr. Avci accused the Greek Cypriot Administration of always adopting an intransigent stance on the Cyprus Issue.
Explaining that the �Greek Cypriot Administration� has been refusing to cooperate with the Turkish Cypriot Side even on humanitarian issues - such as Bird Flu, he said that it has still not been possible to establish any of the working groups with the Greek Cypriot Side within the framework of the 8-July process.
�Presidential Undersecretary� Rasit Pertev is in Brussels for talks with EU officials on the Direct Trade Regulation.
Mr. Pertev who is accompanied by the �Presidential EU Advisor� Armagan Candan and the �head of EU Coordination Center� Erhan Ercin will be explaining the Turkish Cypriot Sides stance on the Direct Trade Regulation to EU officials.
The �Presidential Undersecretary� is expected to return to the �Republic� tomorrow night.
Washington has reiterated its support for the implementation of the EU Direct Trade Regulation to �North Cyprus�.
The US Undersecretary for political Affairs Nicholas Burns conveyed his countrys request for the implementation of the Direct Trade Regulation to North Cyprus during his meeting with the EU Commissioner for Enlargement Olli Rehn in Brussels.
Mr. Burns expressed Washingtons support to the regulation prepared by the EU Commission and added that there was no change in the US policy over Cyprus.
The US Undersecretary is also said to have expressed the desire to see the resumption of the Cyprus Negotiations Process this year under the UN Umbrella.
Turkish Cypriot daily KIBRIS newspaper (29.03.07) reports in its first page that the Turkish member of the Missing Persons Committee Plumer Kucuk stated that at the excavations taking place in occupied Kyrenia, the remains of 30 Greek Cypriot persons were found. He also added that this number will be increased.
ANKARA ANATOLIA news agency (28.03.07) reports the following from Istanbul:
"Restart of negotiations on the enterprise and industrial policy chapter will show that Turkey's EU accession process is on the right track," State Minister & chief negotiator for EU talks Ali Babacan said on Wednesday. After returning from the United States to Turkey, Babacan told reporters that the decisions on the enterprise and industrial policy chapter, which were made in the meeting of the Working Group on Expansion in Brussels, were approved at the EU Committee of the Permanent Representatives (COREPER) meeting today.
Babacan noted that they would probably leave for Brussels this evening to formally open enterprise and industrial policy chapter tomorrow, stressing that resumption of the chapter was very important.
"On the other hand, we are also preparing our program of adjustment to the EU acquis. We sent its draft to NGOs a week ago. They have positive views on the draft," he added.
ISTANBUL CNN TURK Online (28.03.07) reports that:
Turkey has rejected two new US requests regarding Incirlik Airbase. A negative response has been provided to the American Air Force, which wanted a new airspace in the Mediterranean for training, as well as permission for night flights over Turkish territory.
The two new requests of the United States, which has once again deployed at Incirlik the aircraft that it had withdrawn following the Iraq operation, were turned down by Turkey.
A negative response was given to the American Air Force, which wanted to utilize airspace in the Mediterranean for training for the aircraft deployed to Incirlik.
Turkey, evaluating the request to utilize for training purposes a new airspace in the Mediterranean to be used by aircraft taking off from Incirlik, rejected this request on the grounds that it was not included in the existing agreements.
The American Air Force, in addition to this request, also proposed the provision of permission for night flights over Turkish territory for the aircraft at Incirlik. This request as well was rejected by stating that no provisions in this regard were included in the agreements.
These requests of the United States, which go beyond the Defense and Training [as published] Cooperation Agreement, as well as efforts at renewing the agreement, are not looked upon warmly by Turkey.
The agreement gives the American military permission to keep 48 military aircraft, as well as logistical support aircraft, at Incirlik Airbase.
The American Air Force brings military aircraft from bases in Europe to the base on a rotating basis and utilizes the Konya range.
[07] The Turkish PM has invited the President of the Palestinian administration Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister, Ismail Haniye to visit Turkey
Turkish daily HURRIYET newspaper (29.03.07) reports that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has gone to Riyadh to attend the Arab League summit. During the deliberations of the summit the Turkish PM had a meeting with the President of the Palestinian administration Mahmoud Abbas and the Prime Minister, Hammas member, Ismail Haniye .
The Turkish PM has invited Abbas and Haniye to visit Turkey. Both men have accepted the invitation.

[08] FIA reduced the fine to $2,5 million on Turkeys Automobile Sports Federation for allowing Talat to present the Cup to the winner of the Formula 1 race
HURRIYET newspaper (29.03.07) reports that the International Automobile Federation (FIA) which imposed five million USD fine on Turkeys Automobile Sports Federation (TOSFED) for allowing Mr Mehmet Ali Talat to present the Cup to the winner of the Formula 1 race held in Istanbul on 27 August 2006, as President of the TRNC, has decided to reduce the fine to 2,5 million USD. The decision was taken yesterday in Paris at the FIAs World Motor Council meetings.
