Its conclusion is crystal clear. If opportunity comes at an inopportune time, is it still opportunity? Barton thought Jef was the most beautiful woman in the world. He needed the money. I lost my notebook today. We must stop Lester before he hurts himself. You need to prepare yourself. I'm quite sure Jess wants that. The pain will wear off. Be careful with him.
Sunspots appear darker than their surroundings because they are a few thousand degrees cooler. Was it easy for you to find a job in Germany? Mom, look what I found. Linda disappeared into the crowd. They hate him because he gives them a mountain of homework. She followed in her father's footsteps and became a doctor. You should do all you can to help your neighbors. Do you love your children? You're being unreasonable. Act too forcefully and you'll start a war.
As is often the case with teenagers, she's conceited. Virtue is insufficient temptation. I can read English, but I can't speak it. She's a lovely young girl. The train is leaving! Hurry up! Can you get that? I'm going to change and I'll be back. I'd really like that. Better than nothing. You look very introspective.
No one knows what happened. They saw you. Joseph says he heard a call from death. Never trust a politician. I think I'd better stay here. Nobody is in the classroom now. The price of that bicycle was too high. The doctor insisted that he stay in bed. What's the matter now, Vladislav? Does Murray have a bicycle?
I found out why Duke didn't want to come. Americans may regard shy people as less capable than those who are not shy. You have a habit of exaggerating everything. Increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events are projected for all U.S. regions I've never actually met them. The reason soon became obvious. The political campaign has turned into a dirty fight at last. The children whirled about the garden. This is so amazing. Delbert remained on the train.
Do you study English every day? You're not going to tell me what I want to know, are you? Angela probably isn't hungry. The strike brought the city to a halt. I shortened my speeches. There's a pile of cash on the floor in the middle of Hiroyuki's office. Most of the exiles were killed or captured. He had the old machine fixed. Thanks for your explanation. Cut us some slack.
We want the truth. I ate three hot dogs. I wonder whether Raj will ever come home. Raul finally got around to going to the dentist. A fallen leaf floated on the surface of the water. Can I see it before I go? Excuse me but, would you kindly lift that box for me? There's less to do in this job than the last one. This is Elwood's pen. When will she have to go abroad?
Is it really so valuable? These blankets are very warm. We couldn't keep Doyle from doing that. The legal age for marriage in Australia is 18. How's the job? We've received no explanation yet. Kuldip just went inside. She won a medal when she was just 15 years old. You know this is what I want. What did you say your name was?
I go to bed after I study. No man lives in the building. I'm trembling out of fear. Clare is working with Jos. I have some information about Catherine. It was Leigh's, wasn't it? I want you to go to Boston. Uranus' atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium, and methane. "Are you hungry?" "No, not really." It was a fake.
I'm not like her. Sanjib scarcely recognized Duncan. Life being very short, we ought not to waste time. This robot was useful for accomplishing many tasks. The weather is beautiful. He really gets across me. I'm in a rush to get home. He said "kia ora". She lives in this neighborhood. The United States has close ties to Mexico.

Constructing Anarchisms—Philosophy
By thecollective
From Libertarian Labyrinth by Shawn P. Wilbur
Constructing Anarchisms: What It Is & What It Is Not
Survey courses are peculiar things, particularly when they address subjects of more than just passing interest. The construction of a survey always seems to involve at least some claim regarding the exemplary nature of the materials chosen. And if we were more certain about the character and extent of the anarchist tradition, we would expect a historical survey to take us, rather neatly, from milepost to milepost along the path of growing ideological clarity. But it's hard to spend any time discussing history and theory with other anarchists—and I spend hours nearly every day—without recognizing that anarchy, anarchism and the anarchist tradition are all things that we struggle with, constantly, without necessarily making much headway in the process.
It is likely that anarchism—as a general, shareable project, not built from the elevation of certain consistently anarchistic concerns above others—still eludes all of us, to one extent or another. It is even possible that it always will, that anarchy is, as William Batchelder Greene put it, a blazing star that constantly retreats as we pursue it. In "The Anarchist Tension," Alfred Bonanno argued something similar about "being an anarchist:"
So anarchists keep asking themselves the same question: What is anarchism? What does it mean to be an anarchist? Why? Because it is not a definition that can be made once and for all, put in a safe and considered a heritage to be tapped little by little. Being an anarchist does not mean one has reached a certainty or said once and for all, "There, from now on I hold the truth and as such, at least from the point of view of the idea, I am a privileged person."
And if there is any truth to this idea that, at least for the foreseeable future, some of the details of a general, shareable anarchism will continue to elude us, then various aspects of anarchist practice—if they are to be truly practical—will have to reflect that fact.
Those interested in an early look at my own developing theory of anarchist development can read through the series of "Extrications" posted here in 2018, starting with "History, Tradition, Theory" (and linked in the sidebar there.) For those without the time and specific interest, I will be summarizing elements from those posts, along with some that were ultimately left unwritten at the time, as we move into the exposition of my neo-Proudhonian synthesis. And I would encourage all participants to find some time fairly soon to read the essay by Voline, "On Synthesis" (1924), as the vision there—which is considerably broader and, I think, more interesting than the proposals for organizational fusion usually associated with anarchist synthesis—provides a rationale for much of what we'll be doing throughout the workshop.
But we were talking about surveys and exemplary elements…
If the anarchist tradition is not, in fact, intelligible as the advance toward an anarchism that is now clearly and fully known to us, if anarchism remains something with which we routinely struggle, then we can naturally expect that the most useful examples for us to focus on are those that accomplish two basic tasks: bringing certain aspects of anarchist theory into clear focus, while also allowing us to focus on what remains clearly unresolved and in need of resolution.
I'm an old interdisciplinary studies scholar, with a background that has confronted me with all the difficulties of canon construction in various contexts and from various sides (popular culture studies, "Great Ideas," etc.) I want, at the outset, to make it clear that the peculiar collection of texts and incidents we will be exploring is hardly representative in the ways that we usually associate with even a purely pedagogical canon. At times, our course will be obviously and defiantly idiosyncratic. That is, in part, because the goal here is to prepare participants to come to grips with the anarchist tradition in all of its daunting breadth and diversity and, in part, because educators should almost certainly find ways to lean on their strengths—and my particular strengths are perhaps most evident in the context of the margins of anarchist history. There are also obviously considerations that emerge from the loose, largely informal nature of the project and the diverse backgrounds of the participants. Many of you are well-read, but often in different areas of the anarchist literature. Some of you will be engaging in self-study, while others have already formed organized study groups. And there is really no telling, at this early stage, how effective I'm going to be determining and addressing the needs of such a diverse group. I'm making some effort to focus, in my choice of readings, on those that will hopefully present important ideas in some new light for the largest number of people.
When it is time for you to construct your own theory of anarchism, I naturally expect that many of you will do so from sources quite different from those we are examining together—and perhaps with rather different ideas about how to think about anarchy, anarchism, anarchist history, the anarchist tradition, etc. I have no interest in dictating the material you choose to work with. However, in the interest of keeping us more or less on the same page though what is a long commitment, and in order to discourage certain kinds of distractions from or subversions of the shared project, I would like to make two basic suggestions or challenges to participants:
First, as you begin to think about constructing your own anarchism, commit to treating anarchy and anarchism as the first and last of the concepts you will define—and pay some close attention to the degree to which our shared commitment to addressing the first of these concepts does or does not contribute to conceptions of the second that are shareable among anarchists generally, however provisionally. I'm not asking participants to embrace the sort of anarchy-centered anarchism or the model of synthesis as anarchist development that I'll be exploring in my own work—but it might be useful for you to be clear about if and how your own conceptions might be incompatible with that approach.
Second, I would encourage participants to consider the gap between the emergence of anarchy and anarchist in 1840 and that of anarchism, which was probably not a widely used label until almost 1880—and the extent to which the specific emergence of anarchism, as a particular kind of movement and ideology, was the condition that made talk about anarchist history and the anarchist tradition meaningful.
One way of looking at our historical survey would be to break it down into a decade in which anarchist thought was first emerging, another four decades in which there were anarchists of quite a wide variety of types, but no anarchism, and then fifty years or so in which there were anarchists and anarchism, movements and ideologies, but perhaps never much shared clarity about what that all meant. That lack of shared understanding was, we know, widely perceived among anarchists, essentially all through the period after the split in the International, driving various internal movements in favor or synthesis or division, and eventually led to monumental, but ultimately unfinished efforts like the Encyclopédie Anarchiste. There are a variety of ways to position our own thoughts and efforts relative to that kind of historical framing—but I would like to encourage participants to at least try to find one of their own.
❦ ❦ ❦
I will probably post just one more introductory text before December 1, an explanation of the final project and introduction to the first phase of the workshop. I've added the beginnings of a schedule to the main page, with the understanding that the holidays will be a period of busy activity for some of us and probably one of isolation for others. We'll be extra flexible through the early weeks, as there will undoubtedly be wrinkles of various kinds to smooth.

The Night I Went to Prince's Birthday Party
By Susie Kantar-Cohen • 06/07/16 8:00am
Happy birthday, Purple One. YouTube
My sisters and I danced in our Minneapolis basement until our feet tingled. Jumping up and down to "I Would Die 4 U," getting slow with "The Beautiful Ones." Singing into our Barbie doll heads as makeshift microphones became our weekend hobby. At ages 5, 6 and 7, Prince was the man and "Purple Rain" was our song.
On weekends we would drive past Prince's Paisley Park studio in Chanhassen, Minn., on our way Grandma and Grandpa's house. "There's Prince's studio," I'd blurt out in my low, raspy voice.
"That's right," Mom would say.
"That's where he makes his music?" my sisters would ask.
"Yes, that's where he records," Dad would chime in.
"Let's go there," I'd excitedly suggest. "There's a gate, turn left here!"
"…I don't think we can just show up," Dad and Mom would say in between laughs.
Still, I was convinced I belonged inside of those walls, hanging with the doves and jamming with the Purple god.
In elementary school, my oldest sister, Annie, choreographed dances for my middle sister, Molly, and me. We grooved to Sign O' The Times. "Starfish and Coffee," youthful and carefree, felt like sunshine on my face. I had no idea what "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man," was referring to, but my then 9-year-old self did a wicked hair dance when Prince blared, "She was standing by the fire, oooh she was looking alright."
In the '90s at high school dances, my friends and I had The Hits 1,2 and the B Sides in tow. We knew we were a fraction cooler than other kids our age around the world, enjoying Prince in his home town. We were from he was from and we never let anyone forget it. We'd grind to "Gett Off" and "Darling Nikki" because it made us feel as free as Prince, not because we sought attention. He lived somewhere inside of us, under our skin and we loved that he had carved out such a dynamic place in each of our identities.

In June 2000, my best friend Megan was working production for Prince's 42nd birthday. It was a week-long celebration at Paisley Park, swirling with rumors of his presence and possible performance. Megan snagged me tickets; I dressed in all black, topped with a purple wig, while Megan chose electric blue. I danced near the stage and curiously kept my eyes peeled for a possible Prince sighting. He didn't show, but I had tickets to a daytime tour for the next day.
I walked the sacred halls admiring the walls of painted murals. There was a serenity among the chaos of a true genius musician who spent an immeasurable amount of time creating there. As I soaked it all in, mentally cataloguing all the details, I dwelled on the thought that I was in the building where Prince played and sang, developed and performed. When I reached a glass case, there it was. A gold statue: his Academy Award for Purple Rain. "Prince Rogers Nelson, 1984."
Next, I was greeted by the doves. Yes, there were actually doves inside Paisley Park, hanging around a gold cage. I didn't wonder about it then, but I'm guessing now those doves had a solid-gold home.
Upstairs, we entered a recording studio. There was a sleek, single microphone in a booth surrounded by glass. The tour leader said, "This is where Prince records his vocals. No one is allowed in the room during that time." A tsunami of my favorite songs cascaded through my brain: "Seven," "Diamonds and Pearls," "The Morning Papers," "Insatiable." Were they created in this room?
When the tour was finished, I exited the building into the humid Minnesota air. It was sticky as I walked to the car. I played Prince songs the whole way home, trapped by memories of doves and murals.
That fall I moved to New York to attend an acting conservatory.
On the weekends, using my sister's old ID because I was not yet 21, I drank and danced at a neighborhood lounge above a great neighborhood restaurant. The DJ was as fond of Prince as I was, and many nights I was found hanging out in his booth, chatting about our shared musical taste. We didn't hang out much, but I continued dancing at my favorite lounge, listening to my favorite artist almost every weekend. I even brought my parents while they were visiting from Minneapolis. Prince's "Pussy Control" shouted through the speakers and my dad turned to me and said, "Do you hear these lyrics?"

One evening the DJ called me and asked if I wanted to accompany him to a party where Prince was releasing music exclusively on the internet. I called Megan, "I'm going to this Prince party, I'm so excited! I hear he might be there!"
"Wear a bright color," she began. "When I was working production, we were told he's drawn to bright colors."
I threw on my curve-hugging black pants and a hot pink, long-sleeve spandex shirt. Tossing on my winter jacket, I stood in line with the DJ. It was a cold New York night, but there was no room for shivering, only excitement. The line inched up and our names were checked off the list. Guests bustled by, tunes played, music and paraphernalia for sale, on which I promptly stocked up.
I walked around looking for Prince, as if he'd be sitting in a banquet, sipping champagne, just chilling. After an hour or so, I gave up hoping he'd show up at his own party. I mean, wasn't he notorious for showing up at 4 a.m. or not at all? Then I looked to my left.
There he was, standing behind a black divider, dressed in black and four-inch heels, hair perfect, which he gracefully moved out of his face. One regular-sized security guard handed him a cellphone. He moved slowly from side to side, a rhythm in his body as if he were warming up for a waltz. He looked as graceful as a symphony, steady but ready to pick up the pace at anytime.
Then our eyes met.

He handed the phone back to his security and smiled wide yet shyly at me. Then he quickly looked away, still smiling and timidly shot me another smiling glance. I was sure butterflies were flying over my head like some cartoon. I wish I remembered which song was playing because then I could refer to this as the time Prince serenaded me.
He headed toward the exit and I speed walked to put myself in his path. As he made his way through the crowded room, he wasn't stopping to speak with anyone, except Jay Z. They exchanged a few words and then he continued on his way.
"Excuse me," I began. Prince looked past me and softly motioned that he was headed to the exit and kept walking. "I'm from Minneapolis," I continued.
Prince stopped and suddenly grabbed my hand. He leaned in smiling, and said in the sultriest voice, "Well, you betta come back this year."
Prince stopped and suddenly grabbed my hand. "I grew up listening to you, and I was at your birthday party last year at Paisley Park." Now Prince, squeezing my hand tight, leaned in smiling, and said in the sultriest voice, the voice that had occupied every speaker I'd ever owned, "Well, you betta come back this year."
And like that he was gone. I couldn't turn to watch him leave because I was too busy staring at my still-tingling hand. I didn't sleep much that night.
Many years later I moved to Los Angeles and worked in the VIP department of the hottest nightclubs.
Prince would often come and sit quietly with one, or two, or six gorgeous olive-skinned ladies. He would ask that the staff unscrew the light bulbs above his table and cover the computer screen so no light would shine on him. I had many opportunities to meet him again, but I chose to keep our first meeting our last; it was sweeter than a spring morning.
I did, however, see him in concert two times. The first time he was more subdued and sang one of my favorite songs, "Nothing Compares 2 U." He was joined by Chaka Kahn; watching Prince watch her was like watching a painter stare at his muse.
The second time, I took Megan to his 21-night-stand tour for her birthday. Prince played all the hits: "Raspberry Beret," "Kiss," "Controversy," "Baby I'm A Star," "When Doves Cry." At one point, he played the first few chords of "Darling Nikki" and we all went buck wild. He immediately paused and said, "I can't play that! I'm in rehab, y'all!" Later, he brought out Sheila E and they tore up the stage. "A Love Bizarre" rattled the room. But it was when he sang the longest rendition of "Purple Rain" that I've ever heard that I froze and couldn't do anything but watch and listen.
RIP Prince. YouTube
Naively, I believed Prince was eternal and that he would live forever.
His death in April was shocking; however, does someone really die when their music has been sewn into the seams of society for decades, their imprint left on countless souls?
Within minutes of the news breaking, I received calls and texts asking if I was O.K. It was as if I was some kind of purple royalty and his death was my personal loss. Soon after, Minnesota residents left notes on the gates of Paisley Park, thanking Prince for "anonymously and humbly" donating to schools and "enriching" their lives.
Of course I was devastated and appreciated the words of support and love, but instead I chose to honor him and his astonishing legacy. I chose to celebrate that he played over 27 instruments on his first album. At 19, he was given a record deal, and he made it abundantly clear that he would make the music he, and only he, wanted.
I love that shivers climb up my body when I think of his induction into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame, creating his own masterpiece version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." I rejoice that every time without fail, then and now, when I hear his music I cannot help but dance.
Mostly, I celebrate the grin that still plasters my face when I recall his smile and the way he held my hand that night 16 years ago. Thank you, Prince. Even though you stopped celebrating your birthday, I still celebrate yours. Happy birthday.

Q: Create a Query using QueryBuilder with a Many-to-Many relation in Symfony2 and Doctrine Good evening everybody!
I've got a little problem. I would like to filter a query's result using a custom DQL Query in Symfony2 framework.
Here is the state of my database:

I've got the SQL Query that returns the wanted result:
SELECT * FROM question WHERE question_id NOT IN (SELECT question_id FROM questions_joueurs WHERE joueur_id = 1)

I just would like to implement that in my QuestionRepository.
Thanks a lot for your next help !
CloudCompany

A: You can achieve this using NOT EXISTS and MEMBER OF. Something like this
$qb->select('q.question_id, q.question_intitule')
    ->from('MyBundleNameSpace\Entity\Question', 'q')
    ->where('NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM MyBundleNameSpace\Entity\Jouer j WHERE j MEMBER OF q.jouers)');

A: Thank you for your answer FuzzyTree! It works!
I had adapted it in order to put it into my QuestionRepository.
Here is my method:
public function findNotAnsweredByJoueurs(Partie $partie, $level)
{
    $qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('q');
    $qb->where('q.level < ' . $level);
    foreach($partie->getJoueurs() as $joueur)
    {
        $qb->andWhere('NOT EXISTS (SELECT ' . $joueur->getId() . ' FROM Cloud\Bundle\MoneyDropBundle\Entity\Joueur j WHERE j MEMBER OF q.joueurs)');
    }

    return $qb->getQuery()
              ->getResult();
}

This week sees the end of the public consultation for the proposed Sunderland Renewable Energy Centre. Project developer, Rolton Kilbride, has held a series of exhibitions throughout September in Washington to showcase the proposals and to gather feedback on the plans from the local community.
Using proven, clean and safe gasification technology, the energy centre will generate electricity and heat from non-recyclable waste. The process will generate 27MW of electricity, and the centre has the potential to be even more efficient by using the heat generated by the facility to supply businesses and industry in the local area.
Andrew Needham, Managing Director of Rolton Kilbride, said: "The exhibitions were really well attended and we would like to thank those who gave up their time to attend and share their views with us either on the day or afterwards.
Residents can find out more about the plans by visiting www.roltonkilbride.co.uk/sunderland.
Comments can be submitted electronically to sunderlandrec@coastmarcoms.co.uk or by writing to Sunderland REC, PO Box 359, Saltash, PL12 9AS. The closing date for comments is Thursday 12 October 2017.

The State Of 529 Plans
As assets surpass $400B, analysts develop 4-factor measurement tool for investors
Morningstar releases the Morningstar Analyst Ratings for 62 of the largest 529 plans as assets cross the $400 billion threshold for the first time.
CHICAGO, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Morningstar, Inc. (Nasdaq: MORN), a leading provider of independent investment research, today announced Morningstar Analyst Ratings™ (Analyst Ratings) for 62 of the nation's largest 529 plans, investment accounts that offer tax benefits when used to pay for qualified education expenses such as college. These 62 plans represent approximately 97% of 529 plan assets, which total more than $437 billion as of Aug. 31, 2021. The qualitative Analyst Rating has five tiers—Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, and Negative. This year, Morningstar manager research analysts awarded three Gold ratings, 11 Silver ratings, 18 Bronze ratings, 23 Neutral ratings, and seven Negative ratings to 529 plans.
"The industry standard for 529 plans continues to rise as plans make enhancements, which should drive better outcomes for education savers over the long haul," said Adam Millson, manager research analyst on Morningstar's multi-asset and alternative strategies team. "Therefore, it has made it harder for some plans to keep up with structural flaws like uncompetitive fees, outdated glide paths, or subpar oversight of the plan—a factor that is especially important when changes are being implemented."
Today, Morningstar published a Fund Spy article on Morningstar.com, with a full list of the ratings and key insights from this year's assessment. Highlights include:
Notable upgrades include Georgia's Path2College 529 Plan which analysts upgraded to Silver rating from Neutral. The plan underwent a major revamp over the last 18 months, moving their age-based options to a progressive glide path, smoothing the transition of allocations from stocks to bonds. Georgia also drove cost reductions during contract negotiations, resulting in an average cost of approximately 0.09% for the enrollment portfolios, the lowest of any 529 plan under Morningstar analyst coverage.
Downgrades include Virginia Invest529, a Gold-rated plan just two years ago. This year, analysts downgraded the plan to Bronze from Silver after the departure of Virginia's in-house investment director, Michael Nguyen, in September 2021.
The shift to progressive glide paths continues to pick up steam. Utah's Gold-rated plan, my529, migrated to a progressive glide path this year. A progressive glide path makes frequent shifts between stocks and bonds relative to a stepped construction, which makes more abrupt shifts, often every few years on the beneficiary's date of birth.
In 2022, California's ScholarShare College Savings Plan will launch the first suite of ESG target enrollment portfolios. At $12.7 billion, this step will also make ScholarShare the largest 529 plan to offer an ESG-aware portfolio to participants.
This year's ratings featured a total of 11 upgrades or downgrades compared to 27 in 2020 due to an enhanced rating methodology for 529 plans. Now that the methodology is fully implemented, the ratings have stabilized and Morningstar analysts expect there to be fewer ratings changes each year compared with 2020, and 2021 is in line with expectations.
In 2021, Morningstar analysts upgraded four plans and downgraded seven plans. Morningstar also initiated coverage on one plan. The table below shows upgrades, downgrades, and plans new to coverage:

The Morningstar Analyst Rating™ for 529 Plans (Analyst Rating) gives investors saving for education a tool to help comprehensively assess 529 plan options. To determine a plan's rating, Morningstar analysts assess four factors: the design of the plan's investment options; the plan's underlying money managers and the investment manager(s) that compiles these investments into portfolios; the stewardship practices of the plan's state trustee and its other partners; and the value of the plan's investment options compared with those of its peers. Analysts assign Gold, Silver, or Bronze ratings to plans they have concluded will likely offer investment options that outperform and a strong investment experience for qualified education expenses.
In May 2021, Morningstar published its latest 529 Landscape Report which examines key industry developments and improvements. The report also covers 529 industry trends including industry growth and recent expansions of tax benefits.

Massachusetts law requires all drivers to carry bodily injury liability, personal injury protection, property damage liability, and uninsured auto coverages. Auto insurance companies may also offer optional coverages, including increased limits for liability coverage and medical coverage, comprehensive and collision coverage to protect your car from damage, roadside assistance, accident forgiveness, and pet coverage.
Uninsured motorist coverage, which pays for your bodily injury in the event of an auto accident where an uninsured or hit-and-run driver is responsible, has a minimum coverage of up to $35,000 per person. The Massachusetts Automobile Insurance Plan (MAIP) assigns drivers unable to obtain insurance in the voluntary market to automobile insurers on the basis of each company's market share. Drivers without insurance or without proof of insurance risk a fine or the revocation of their license/registration.
Certain factors may not be used to underwrite or rate your policy in Massachusetts. Insurers may not use gender, marital status, race, creed, national origin, religion, age, occupation, income, education, or home ownership to determine your insurance premium. Your car insurance quote in Massachusetts is determined by your driving experience, including the number and type of at-fault accidents and traffic violations, where your vehicle is principally stored, and the number of years of experience driving.
Credit information from consumer reporting agencies may not be used for underwriting or rating. Companies may determine how your driving record will affect your premium under the Merit Rating Plan. An insurance company's Merit Rating Plan cannot use driving history past six years or increase your premium for at-fault accidents or traffic violations for more than five years. The average expenditure for auto insurance in Massachusetts, according to the Insurance Information Institute, was $860 in 2009.

To those who thought that this would be a review of the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie films from a few years ago…sorry. This is the Alfred Hitchcock screwball comedy from the 1940s starring Carole Lombard. All I want to say about the Pitt/Jolie film at this stage is that it really dumbfounds me how Jolie can be nominated so often as being the most beautiful woman in the world when so clearly she is not. She looks like John Voight in drag, which ain't a very sexy thought. She's gross. It makes me wonder who decides these things anyway? Is it the flamboyant gossip columnists who so often promote this myth or have women come to the conclusion that because Pitt is so hot that therefore Jolie is hot too? It's just astounding and I've wasted to much space talking about this as it is.
Of course there is a reason I have spent so much space talking about crap, because this film is not much to write about at all. I know that a lot of Hitchcock's films are humourous, like Psycho, but Mr & Mrs Smith is the only comedy that he ever made and it's awful. It's almost impossible to believe that the person who had just directed Rebecca and Foreign Correspondent and had not too long ago made The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes could also make something this horrid.
The film is only an hour and a half long but it drags on forever. The dialogue is not witty but stupid and Carole Lombard is annoying. Apparently she was close friends with Hitchcock and wanted to make a film with him, and so is the person who roped him into making this mess. I think it shows that Hitchcock's heart was really not into this film at all. The movie is extremely boring.

Running time 100 min.
This is another Martin & Lewis comedy from the mid-50s and while it has a few good gags I don't think it was the teams best effort. Part of the problem was Jerry, who acts like he is about seven years old throughout the film. There is no empathy for him at all and he just does stupid stuff for the sake of doing stupid stuff.
This was made not long before the relationship between Dean & Jerry started hitting the rocks. I wonder if this film could be a reason, as Lewis did want to start taking more control of what he did while Dean only seemed to care about getting a paycheck.

27.5. MOTORPSYCHO / CADU
Named for a movie by American sexploitation auteur Russ Meyer, Motorpsycho are an eclectic Norwegian band whose music is an adventurous amalgam of progressive rock, psychedelia, alternative rock, folk-rock, hard rock, jazz, country, and old-school heavy metal.
Based out of Trondheim, the group emerged fully loaded in the late '80s, but really caught fire with the release of their ambitious third album, Demon Box, which spanned two LPs and earned the group a Norwegian Grammy nomination. With a loyal fan base established, Motorpsycho set out to make a name for themselves both at home and abroad, issuing a string of acclaimed albums that chewed through genres with impunity, with highlights arriving via Phanerothyme (2001), Child of the Future (2009), and The Tower (2017).
2019 saw the release of their latest LP "The Crucible".
Both visually and musically, The Crucible starts where the last album The Tower ended, but it soon takes on its own hue, and it is clear that it cannot be called a 'sequel' as such: this is very much a step further out than anywhere the band ventured on The Tower. While it is broader lyrically speaking, it is even sharper focused musically and, if possible, even more idiosyncratic and insular than ever. Unarguably a Motorpsycho album, it is one that is going to make the novice Psychonaut's head spin, but feel comfortingly unfamiliar to the acolyte. Motorpsycho was always too gnarly for prog nerds as well as too musically unwieldy for punks, and as their appeal becomes ever more selective, they are still proudly falling between all cracks, stools or chairs one might think of putting in their way. 'Prog rock'? Call it Motorpsychodelia!
The Crucible was recorded at Monnow Valley Studios in Wales in August 2018 by Hans Magnus Ryan (guitars, vocals), Bent Sæther (bass, vocals, sundry) and Tomas Järmyr (drums), with co-producers Andrew Scheps and Deathprod. To these ears, and to the band's satisfaction, this co-production ploy worked out wonderfully, and has resulted in a beautifully crafted record, smaller in size but at least equal in ambition to its celebrated predecessor. It is somehow both more focused, and denser in content, but also compositionally more ambitious than The Tower. One would perhaps think that this necessarily results in a diminished sonic assault, but the album still packs a wallop like a good rock record should. And – 'for once' some waggish tongues would say – does not outstay its welcome.

As a business we are changing and evolving in a way that is going to change the way people use marketing services and practices.
And always, always, work with nice, kind and reasonable people. Makes your work life much more enjoyable.
It was funny reading the advice and seeing how universal it is. Be open to resolution, be nice to people and don't brag about yourself. If i'm not wrong, this sounds like pretty sound advice for "What to or not do on a first date". But whether it's a romantic or professional relationship you're looking for, remembering to delegate, communicate clearly and pick carefully is something we should all do in our everyday lives.


SLIPPERY ROCK — From a purely baseball perspective, South Side's historic win Monday at Slippery Rock University wasn't necessarily a work of art.
But for the Rams, it was a masterpiece.
It's believed that a 17-3, mercy-rule rout of Greenville in the first-round of the Class 3A playoffs was South Side's first ever in the PIAA tournament.
And, more importantly, the Rams (15-5) are still alive in the state playoffs.
South Side qualified for state playoffs by upsetting Section 2 rival and defending WPIAL champion Riverside in the WPIAL third-place consolation game. Now, the Rams will face Huntingdon (21-1), the District 6 champion, in Thursday's quarterfinals. Huntingdon beat Avonworth, 5-2, on Monday.
Against Greenville (13-8), the District 10 champ, South Side made the most of its many opportunities.
Combined, three Greenville pitchers allowed 10 hits and eight walks while also hitting three batters. Defensively, the Trojans committed five errors.
South Side scored all its runs in the first, second and fourth innings: six, five and six, respectively. In each of those innings, the Rams batted around.
Everyone in South Side's batting order got on base at least once. Eight Rams scored at least one run.
Right fielder Alex Jones led the offense with a pair of two-run doubles. Third baseman Marshal Windsor got on base all four times he batted and had three RBIs.
Center fielder Ethan Woodling, second baseman Jake McDougal and winning pitcher Casey Jones each had two hits.
Although South Side did commit two errors, Sargent made two outstanding catches in left field. One was a diving catch in the second inning; the other was an over-the-shoulder grab in the fourth.
"We had a lot of guys come up big today," said South Side coach Chip Hunter. "That was a great team win."
In the 1999 and 2000 seasons, South Side qualified for the state playoffs. But in both instances, the Rams lost in the first round.
But now, South Side finally has its first state playoff win.

Who charges higher fees – Islamic or conventional banks?
Waheed Abbas
Published Tuesday, October 06, 2015
More UAE residents believe that Islamic banks transactions fees are lower than their conventional rivals, according to a survey published yesterday.
Around 25 per cent residents believe that Shariah-compliant banks offer lower transaction fees as compared to 21 per cent for the conventional lenders.
Conducted by Dubai-based Emirates Islamic bank, the survey results showed that more UAE residents opt for Islamic banks when it comes to auto finance rather than the conventional banks while in all other categories they prefer the latter.
Around 52 per cent residents prefer Shariah-compliant banks as compared to 49 per cent for the conventional lenders.
Conventional banks dominate in all other categories – current account with salary transfer, credit card, current account, saving account and personal finance.
UAE residents believe that Islamic banks support the community more and have lower transaction fees as compared to conventional banks while non-Muslim users rate conventional banks higher on technology, innovation and financial soundness basis.
It said nearly half (47 per cent) of the UAE's consumers have at least one Islamic banking product while one-third (34 per cent) have an Islamic product from a Shariah-compliant bank.
"With three out of four people in the UAE willing to consider an Islamic banking product, there is clearly an opportunity for the industry as we continue on our path to become the global centre of the Islamic economy.
"Trust, fairness and community responsibility are core pillars of the Islamic banking proposition and clearly people associate with that. Yet, the same consumers also want the best products, technology and service," said Jamal Bin Ghalaita, CEO of Emirates Islamic.
Bin Ghalaita was speaking at a press conference to announce the launch of inaugural annual Islamic Banking Index which will focus on 'penetration', 'perception', 'knowledge' and 'intention' of UAE consumers with regards to their Shariah-compliant banking.
The survey was conducted online in September 2015 from over 900 UAE residents aged 18+ with a bank account in the UAE and earning more than Dh5,000 per month.
Nearly six in 10 residents have knowledge of at least one Islamic banking product structure while close to half of users – 46 per cent – and over a quarter of non-users – 27 per cent – of Islamic banking products can select the right definition of 'Murabahah' as an indication of correct knowledge.
Looking more closely at the split between Muslim and non-Muslim consumers, Muslim consumers have a fairly even number of conventional and Islamic products at 63 and 62 per cent, respectively.
While conventional products have an edge when it comes to credit card, current account with salary transfer and current account, the incidence of Islamic products is significantly higher in savings account, personal finance and auto finance categories. In the savings account category, for example, 36 per cent of Muslims have a conventional account, while a little over two-thirds (67 per cent) have an Islamic product.
However, 26 and 27 per cent of the respondents have expressed their intention to acquire an Islamic and conventional banking product respectively in the coming 6 months. While 75 per cent of all intenders are open to Islamic banking products. 86 per cent of Muslim intenders and 59 per cent of non-Muslim intenders are open to Islamic banking products.
Among the UAE residents, 21 per cent said they only seek Islamic banking products, while 54 per cent said they are open to both.

Prevention is still the best medicine. Condom social marketing campaign changes attitudes and actions in Guinea.
Hess LL.
PIP:
In Guinea, jingles promoting Prudence condoms are heard on radio and television in 4 different national languages 5 times a day. This has produced an attitudinal change through an intense national media campaign orchestrated by the USAID-financed Social Marketing of Contraceptives Project carried out by Population Services International (PSI), which provides family planning information, products and services through public and private outlets for 500,000 sexually active couples. PSI's paid media campaign has sponsored call-in talk shows on women and AIDS and religion and AIDS at the rural radio station in Labe. Billboards placed in key locations remind people that using condoms helps prevent AIDS. PSI organized a team of 10 Prudence condom marketing agents in March 1992 to establish 400 nontraditional retail and 50 traditional retail and wholesale outlets for condoms. Outlets include pharmacies, restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and nightclubs. The distributors sell the condoms at a profit. In the first 6 months, PSI distributed 2.3 million condoms. Young women want to space their children and limit the number of children, said the chief midwife for the Guinean Association for Family Well Being clinic in Conakry. Guinea's population growth rate is 2.8%, which will result in a doubling of the population in 25 years. In May 1992, Guinea's government ratified a national population policy supporting family planning. One of the primary goals is to increase contraceptive use to 25% of all couples. PSI works with the Ministry of Health and the Guinean Association for Family Well Being to integrate family planning and sexually transmitted disease prevention activities into 32 primary health care centers in Guinea's Forest Region. To combat the spread of HIV infection, PSI provides technical assistance to the National AIDS Committee to carry out AIDS information activities throughout the country, targeting the military, police, truck drivers, and students.

Jim and Jordan both work at the same company. They make the same salary, hold the same position, are both married, and own their own homes in the same neighborhood. They both go to church and try to tithe faithfully. Jim is married to Sally and Jordan is married to Susie. That is where the differences begin.
Sally reminds Jim daily that he does not make enough money to save for college, decorate the home, or take a family vacation. She tells her daughter, "Make sure that you marry someone with money."
When there are things that Sally absolutely has to have (about once a week), she uses the credit card to purchase them. She still is not content. In fact, anything she buys seems to lose its delight quickly and there are always new things to purchase.
Sally complains to anyone that will listen about their financial woes. And it's not just money. Sally wishes her children would do their chores without being asked, clean their rooms, and make better grades. Her in-laws make her life miserable and her friends are always asking for favors of some kind.
Susie has an additional burden on her shoulders. She takes care of her elderly grandmother because her parents passed away when she was in college. She is the only family Granny has, and, though she lives in her own assisted living apartment, Susie has to check in on her every day. This costs gas money and time. She would like to get a second job to help ends meet, but with taking care of the kids and Granny, there is no time left for more than her 15 hour a week part-time job.
But, no one has every heard a complaint out of Susie's mouth about money, or anything else for that matter. It's not that she holds it in, it's just that she is glad to have Granny around and sees how hard her husband works. When he apologizes for his meager salary, she tells him, "Money isn't everything, Jordan. One day, we'll have plenty of money to do the things we want to do and then we'll remember the good old days when the children were little and Granny was still alive."
The tension in Jim and Sally's home is stifling. You might live under the same tension. Focusing on the negative and complaining are a natural response to difficult circumstances, but they only produce misery. Most of us are experiencing economic setbacks in this economy, but we still belong to a Gracious Heavenly Father who lavishly provides for our needs. He will not leave and forsake us.
If we take our eyes off what we don't have, we can fix our eyes on what we do have. As Christians, even if we are starving and living on the streets, we have an eternal home and a right relationship with God. That is the place to begin thanking God!
Our lives are filled with evidence of God's kindness. People do all kinds of nice things for us that we take for granted, but we tend to zero in on what people did not do to meet our expectations. Most of us, if we spent time with our children, would really like them, but so often we focus on the negative with our children, and, husbands too. People will pull away from other people who are negative, so be a fountain of blessing and positive words. Don't take anything for granted. Notice the smallest act, the tiniest detail, giving thanks to everyone for everything.
What does that have to do with money? Well, thankfulness is a character issue. It characterizes all of your life or none of it. It is easier to start with appreciating people and praising God for His many blessings. This will spill over into our financial realms. You will find yourself saying, "Thank you, Lord, for money to pay the bills," rather than "I'm so upset that we can't take a vacation this year."
Why is thankfulness in our finances so important? Thankfulness leads to contentment, allowing you to practice delayed gratification, the secret of financial success. If we are content, we don't need to spend money on ourselves, freeing up our money to be invested and used for noble purposes.
Often, our spending habits, especially around the holidays, flow out of a heart that is not content and a misguided thought that the secret to "feeling happy again" involves spending money.
"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs," (I Timothy 6:6-10NIV).
Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin muffins, apple pie, and spiced cider are on the menu at my house this year. What about you? What is on your menu for Thanksgiving Dinner?
May I suggest a big helping of thankfulness?
If you are interested in growing in gratefulness this holiday season, I encourage you to purchase Celebrate Thanksgiving where you will not only learn the entire story of the Pilgrims, but you will read devotions, prayers, Scriptures, and poems that will inspire you. This book has everything you need to make your holiday Christ-centered and meaningful with recipes, crafts, and celebrations to try out in your own home.
What a glorious reason to celebrate Thanksgiving is! How wonderful to set aside time to give thanks to Almighty God who has blessed us with so many incredible gifts. My print copy of Celebrate Thanksgiving is available at Amazon. The E-book is available at PayHip or Currlick.

EU foreign ministers have agreed to suspend the visa facilitation agreement with Russia
European Union foreign ministers agreed today to completely suspend a visa facilitation agreement with Russia, making it harder and more expensive for Russian citizens to enter the EU, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said.
"We have agreed on… the complete suspension of the European Union-Russia agreement on the facilitation of entry visas," he told a news conference at the end of a two-day meeting of foreign ministers in Prague.
"It will significantly reduce the number of new entry visas issued by EU member states. It will be more difficult, it will take longer."
Diplomats said EU ministers could not immediately agree on a blanket travel visa ban for Russians as member states were divided on the issue.
Borel said there has been a significant increase in border crossings from Russia to neighboring countries since mid-July.
"It has become a danger to the security of these neighboring countries," he added. "In addition, we saw many Russians traveling comfortably and shopping as if there was no war raging in Ukraine."
At least one million Russian citizens have entered the EU via land borders since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began, most via Finland and Estonia, the EU's border guard agency Frontex said.
In a concession to eastern EU member states that had called for tougher measures, Borrell said Russia's neighboring countries "can take measures at national level to restrict entry into the EU".
He clarified, however, that these measures should be consistent with the rules of the Schengen area and underlined that it is important that Russian members of civil society can continue to come to the EU.

What others say about B42
Florian Rädler
"The workouts and programmes are really well structured and super strenuous."
Veröffentlicht auf
Lena Schmid
"Your app is really great. I've never been a big fan and mega diligent when it came to doing strength exercises at home alone, but with B42 that's fun too!"
Marcel Erford
"With B42, I have blatantly improved my performance and am now a regular player."
Nicole Hummel
"With B42, I was able to increase my performance significantly."
Robert Gwisdzik
"I have become more stable in the duels. That was very important to me and I'm surprised how quickly the results were noticeable."
Are there breaks in the workouts?
We have created our workouts in such a way that you can complete the individual exercises one after the other without taking a long break. We ensure this by alternating each main muscle group from exercise to exercise.
However, you should listen to your body and also give it a break during the workout if either your movement execution or your physical well-being suffers from the exercise sequences.
Are there different programmes for women?
Yes, we have developed two GAMECHANGERs. While the men's version is "merely" based on training science and our expertise in training with several professional athletes, the women's version has to be able to do much more. For example, training methods during the menstrual cycle as well as antatomical, gender-typical characteristics have to be taken into account.
We have met this challenge through a large number of expert interviews.
What are the differences between men and women?
**Anatomical-physiological differences: **
While speed and mobility programmes have remained almost analogous to men, there are elementary differences in the strength programmes. Exercises specially designed for women have been selected to combat the gender-typical disadvantage in women's anatomy. Particular attention was paid to the valgus position and thus to appropriate leg axis training. An adjustment was also made in the repetition payment. While these are hardly noticeably reduced due to the minimal discrepancies in the lower extremities, these have been taken into account more in the upper extremities. Progressions were also worked out for the pull-ups and push-ups exercises.
**Differences in training science: **
The major challenge here is to take the period into account. When looking at similar training programmes, it quickly became apparent that we were entering completely new territory in managing any disparities.
Our training programmes for women include the three phases offseason, preseason and season as well as the phase of the period, which should be switched to during menstruation. Behind this are low-intensity programmes that set a reduced stimulus. After this week, you can easily switch back to the respective GAMECHANGER programme and continue training "normally".
Can I start training without a pull-up bar?
You don't (yet) have a pull-up bar for your workout at home? No problem. Just lie on your back under a stable (!) table. Your face should be right under the edge of the table. Tense your upper body, squeeze your shoulder blades together and slowly pull yourself up towards the underside of the tabletop. Slowly lower yourself back down to just before the floor and repeat.
Does B42 replace team training?
No, by no means! Football is a team sport. We are the perfect complement to team training. Many coaches also incorporate B42 into their training schedule. The players train alone so that there is more time for tactics, technique and game forms during team training.
If you want to improve the game,
you have to improve yourself.

The 52-year-old former chancellor, whose party lost power last year, is not really a familiar face in the Brussels bubble.
Austria's ex-Chancellor Kern as Spitzenkandidat?
Before succeeding to Werner Faymann as chancellor in May 2016, Kern was in charge of the Alpine republic's state-run railway operator OBB. He previously served as spokesman for the SPÖ's parliamentary group and as a manager at Austrian hydropower utility Verbund.
Faymann resigned under pressure from some in his party over his tough asylum policy and from others for wanting to keep a ban on forming coalitions with the anti-immigration and eurosceptic Freedom Party (FPÖ).
"We see that the concept of a liberal, open-minded democracy is greatly challenged by the Orbans, the Kaczynskis, the Straches and the Salvinis," he told reporters in Vienna.
He was referring to a string of nationalist politicians – Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the leader of Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Austria's far-right Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache and Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini.
"It is the most important challenge for us Social Democrats to ensure that Europe's heritage is preserved," Kern said in his short statement.
Kern's move to Brussels could help the image of the Austrian Social Democrats, who have been too preoccupied with internal struggles since the election to provide strong opposition to the conservative-far right coalition led by Sebastian Kurz.
Kern said he would resign as national party leader in May at the latest to fully focus on his new task. It is not yet clear who will replace him.
In the centre-left political family, Kern already faces the competition of Commission Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, who said he obtained the support of nine political forces affiliated to the Party of European Socialists group.
On the centre-left side, France's Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Pierre Moscovici, is also expected to run for Spitzenkandidat.

Design and Construction Managament
Re-From Landscape Architecture
This project comprises the design and build construction of 3 industrial units totalling some 70,000ft2 which will be sub-divided into 11 units.
The development will include the demolition of 24 existing industrial buildings on the site, followed by extensive site remodelling which will include the formation of a new water attenuation swale, the diversion of 400m of the "Bourne Gutter" which is an existing water course that acts as a flood attenuation system to the village of Bourne, once these are complete 50% of the site will be remediated and set aside for housing whilst the remainder will be developed for industrial use.
The scheme has been designed in order to retain as much of the site generated material, from both the excavation works and the demolition as possible, this will drastically reduce the number of vehicle movements through Hemel Hempstead, helping to enhance the environmental benefits of this scheme to the tune of some 40,000 tonnes of aggregate. This equates to nearly 2000 vehicle movements that have been avoided, thus helping to reduce both congestion on the local road network as well as cutting the associated CO2 impact of this scheme on the environment.
This project is designed as clad envelopes on steel frames on ring beam foundations and heavily reinforced slabs, all designed to eliminate the risk of sink holes which can be prevalent in this area. The project included all associated external works and drainage along with bypass interceptors, comprehensive ducting installations for BT and cable suppliers, with CCTV, signage and external lighting. There are extensive new services to the site, HV power, new substation, gas, water and BT, all designed to accommodate the future development of the housing site.
This contract is registered under the Considerate Constructors Scheme


Ok, just a little bit. But no less than five minutes, and definitely no more than an hour, or, probably, half an hour.
Sid Hammerback sped through the morning's tasks. He put toast on, got dressed, put the toast on again, because it hadn't cooked just enough, brushed his teeth and burnt the toast. Eating it with a mild lashing of butter, he ran upstairs, grabbed his keys, and a bag packed with sundry items such as his wallet, two bottles of water and a fresh change of clothes, and skipped down the stairs to the lower level of his house at about two steps at a time. Grabbing his mobile phone from the charger in the kitchen, he raced out the front door.
It was moments before the hurrying man was back through the front door again, and, locking it behind him, he dropped the paper onto the kitchen table and sighed as he turned to the home phone attached to the wall. They'd had to get one put up high, because Michael had a habit of chewing on pretty looking cords.
The man's thoughts were running at a hundred miles an hour by then and he took a moment to take a deep breath and look at the newspaper.
That made sense, of course it made sense. She had gone to work early the previous day, on September 11th. Their sons had been excited by the prospect of getting to help Mommy at work in a big tall building. Christopher, who was eight, was fearless, and this rubbed off on his brother Michael, who was four, because little Mike looked up to big Chris. They had been up at six in the morning and were gone by half past. He had been woken up, along with his wife, at the same time, and had helped get them dressed and organised, and had waved them out the door, watching through the front window as they headed out to the car. He had kissed them both, hugged them and held them, and had an especially long kiss and hold and hug with Marianne, which made the two little boys screw up their faces in disgust. Chuckling, they had all waved goodbye.
He was beginning to think that had been the last time he would ever wave them goodbye.
Picking up the phone, Hammerback called the number of the one man he felt could help most. Jim the policeman, and long time friend, probably could have helped more in terms of manpower, but he wasn't too bothered with that.
The phone picked up, and no voice spoke, but he could definitely hear the commotion on the other end.
The Chef let himself pause, and take a deep breath.
He paused again, and held back a grimace as he heard the man on the other end sigh. Not because he was fed up with him, but because he knew what was coming. Sid also knew, that he was probably worried too.
"Claire hasn't either." the other man said, and there was more silence.
He was interrupted by the Detective.
"If I could put the word out now, it would be appreciated. I know Sid, I know." the man said, worry creeping into his voice at the sides.
"I'll see you there Mac." Hammerback said, and put down the phone. A million, no, probably, a billion, emotions tearing at what suddenly seemed like such a fragile heart, he unsuccessfully tried to clear his head, and went and took a very restless, ten minute nap. Grabbing more food, and putting it into his bag, the man was, promptly, racing out the door again, and into a reality that seemed so much like the ultimate oblivion. It was too early to give up hope, and yet, in his deepest of heartfelt feelings, he knew that it was already, too late for them all. Marianne, Christopher, Michael and Claire, he knew, just knew, that it was too late for them to even be safe.
But, it was just too early to give up hope, because really, at a time like that, it was all that he had to cling onto.
Fulfilling their respective duties, the Detective and the Chef who was a volunteer fireman, and had been for a long time, kept checking in with each other, and many other people, throughout the day.


With Turkey's constitutional referendum just two days away, the "yes" campaign has adopted a visibly softer tone, whereas spokespeople for the "no" campaign have become more aggressive. A few weeks ago, the opponents of constitutional reform maintained that everything would be fine if the referendum were to fail.
With Turkey's constitutional referendum just two days away, the "yes" campaign has adopted a visibly softer tone, whereas spokespeople for the "no" campaign have become more aggressive. A few weeks ago, the opponents of constitutional reform maintained that everything would be fine if the referendum were to fail. Nowadays, it is not uncommon to hear them compare a potential referendum victory to the historic triumph of Turkish troops over Greek invaders in 1922.
In recent weeks, the intellectual godfathers of the "no" campaign have been talking, at length, about the "voluntary mass mobilization" of opposition voters and saluting the birth of a "great democratic movement" in Turkey.
Meanwhile, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the chairman of the Republican People's Party (CHP), has been targeting the Turkish people's peaceful resistance against coup plotters on July 15.
To be clear, there is no doubt that the main opposition party has adopted an extremely aggressive tone in the final days of the campaign with an eye on the referendum's aftermath, rather than Sunday's vote. Expecting the constitutional referendum to pass, it would appear that the CHP leadership wants to form an opposition front by making frequent references to the War of Independence, the defeat of Greek invaders and what they call the people's civilian-democratizing force.
Of course, the main opposition's current campaign is hardly original: They attempted the exact same thing during the Gezi Park protests and ahead of the June 2015 parliamentary elections. As a matter of fact, the 2007 Republican rallies were intended to accomplish the same goal.
Why, you might be wondering, does the main opposition party focus on the referendum's aftermath rather than Sunday's vote? Even if the referendum passes, Parliament will still have to pass a number of laws to facilitate the transition to a presidential system. More importantly, the transition won't be complete until the 2019 parliamentary and presidential races.
As such, the CHP leadership wants to make sure that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won't be able to get re-elected even if Turkey adopts a presidential system of government. Under the circumstances, it is possible to dismiss Kılıçdaroğlu's aggressive statements as damage control ahead of another historic defeat. However, the CHP's efforts to discredit the July 15 resistance in order to unite the opposition, is nothing short of a very dangerous gambit.
Kılıçdaroğlu's decision to describe the Turkish people's heroic resistance to coup plotters as a "controlled coup," i.e. an inside job, coincides with increasingly hostile comments made by Western officials about last summer's coup attempt.
In recent months, governments and individuals referring to the Turkish president as a dictator and targeting Turkey whenever the opportunity presents itself have been trying to cast a shadow on the July 15 resistance. The Turkish people remember perfectly well that Western intelligence agencies have been trying to whitewash Fetullah Gülen's crimes by claiming that he played no role in the coup attempt. It is also important to recall that Kılıçdaroğlu himself had opposed the state of emergency by claiming that "the civilian coup started on July 20."
As such, the "controlled coup" narrative represents a new level in the CHP's assault against the July 15 resistance. Together with the director of the German intelligence agency BND, the main opposition leader has been trying to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the Turkish people's resistance and its significance in our political history.
Suggesting that the Turkish people's first-ever successful attempt to thwart a coup attempt was nothing but "theatrics," in Gülen's words, inevitably undermines Turkey's democracy and encourages future attacks against the country by those who have failed to break President Erdoğan's bond with the Turkish people. If the CHP's intellectual godfathers want to form a democratic opposition movement, Kılıçdaroğlu will have to change his tone without further delay. Otherwise, his efforts to discredit the July 15 resistance will be remembered as an assault on Turkey's shared values and democratic experience.
