This dish gives a totally new meaning to eating turkey. You don't need any special occasion to make it, its easy to make and very cheap. You hide the garlic and the apricot inside the meat, season with fresh herbs and lemon then seal in the flavor with bacon so nothing can escape during cooking. The turkey is moist, tender and extremely delicious – not to mention the golden gravy.
Preheat the oven to 210°C and prepare your deep clay pan (Roemertopf) with water or a deep baking tray greased with one tablespoon of butter.
Pull down the skin of the turkey but don't remove it. Rub some salt and pepper into the meat and with a sharp and narrow knife pierce several times then put garlic or apricot into each hole. Pull the skin back, grate some lemon on it and sprinkle some fresh thyme leaves on top. Cover with the bacon rashes and pour over the lemon juice. Pour some wine next to the meat, cover with a lid or tin foil then cook for 90-100 minutes. Remove the lid and roast for another 20-30 minutes. Wait 10 minutes before carving the meat.
Try out the combination of prune, orange and red wine.

Posted by Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) 0sc on April 24, 2017
Here's what has been happening with voter ID legislation in the states, as more states recognize the importance of this important protection of election integrity or seek to improve their existing laws to ensure that every eligible voter is able to vote while protecting the votes of all eligible voters.
Iowa: Contentious voter ID bill gets final OK; heads to Branstad
The Iowa Senate gave final approval Thursday to contentious legislation that will require voters to show government-issued identification at the polls . . . .
House File 516 passed on a 28-21 vote with Republicans casting all the yes votes. Democrats and one independent all voted no. The bill now heads to Gov. Terry Branstad, who is expected to sign it.
Nebraska: Resolution to require voter ID at Nebraska's polls advances but is expected to stir debate among lawmakers
The Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee voted 6-2 to advance to the floor Legislative Resolution 1CA, which asks Nebraskans whether they want to put a photo ID requirement in the state constitution.
If adopted by the full Legislature, ballot language on the constitutional amendment would appear before voters in November 2018. If voters approve the amendment it will be left to state lawmakers to pass legislation spelling out what constitutes an acceptable ID and whether the state will pay for IDs for those who cannot afford them.
North Dakota: North Dakota attempting to fix voter ID rules after lawsuit
After altering voter identification laws in previous legislative sessions, North Dakota's Republican-led Legislature now is attempting to fix them after a group of American Indians sued in federal court, alleging the state requirements are unconstitutional and disenfranchised tribal members.
The House passed a bill Monday that allows those who don't have proper ID to cast a ballot that's set aside until the voter's eligibility is confirmed. The Senate still must agree to the measure before it goes to GOP Gov. Doug Burgum for his signature.
Texas: House committee approves bill to make changes to voter ID law
The House Elections Committee on Monday approved a bill that would make court-ordered changes to the state's controversial voter identification law, moving the proposal to the House floor under the looming specter of federal action.
Senate Bill 5, written by Rep. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, would give more leeway to people who show up to the polls without one of seven state-approved photo IDs. They would be allowed to use other documents that carry their name and address as proof of identity, such as a utility bill, if they sign a "declaration of impediment" stating why they don't have an approved ID.

Established and volunteer-run since
TAKE ACTION on ROHINGYA
Championing justice for people most affected by climate disasters and violent conflict
TAKE ACTION on YEMEN
To champion justice for people most affected by climate change and violent conflict.
By educating the public on their power as constituents.
By educating politicians on the issues facing their districts, constituents, and nation.
How We See It
We are championing for a world in which the country, region, or family you are born into does not dictate the strides that you can make or the obstacles that, despite your might, you are able to overcome. That is global equality. It is a world in which climate change and violent conflict do not exist, and certainly do not drag down those least equipped to overcome them. Because, in our opinion, these man-made - might we add - turmoils play a huge part in creating inequality and are only worsening the divide.
So, we are out here amplifying the voices of those courageous people attempting to battle the barriers placed in their paths by climate change and conflict and fighting to not be another statistic at the mercy of unfair situations.
Some days it feels as if global inequality is spiraling out of control, but we are here to educate you on how your single voice can collectively impact the world. Join us as we organize locally to disrupt injustice globally.
We humans created climate change and conflict and we humans must undo it.
In 2007, Oxfam America founded the Oxfam Action Corps, a network of grassroots volunteers who worked tirelessly in more than a dozen U.S. cities to promote Oxfam's campaigns and efforts on aid, food, and climate that would help the world's poorest and most vulnerable. For nine years, we championed over twenty campaigns by lobbying Congress in both DC and our home districts, mobilizing tens of thousands of people across the nation by collecting petition signatures, and by holding hundreds of public events to educate and empower the local communities. Through it all we grew our networks and strengthened our forces to fight for human rights, culminating in an unstoppable momentum of people power.
In the spring of 2016, Oxfam announced that in response to changing global realities, they would be restructuring internationally and ending the official Oxfam Action Corps program; however, we, the volunteers and grassroots organizers, choose to continue on and expand our work under a new banner. We regrouped and launched ourselves as Action Corps.
Our Present
We are dedicated to ending global inequality and are willing to blaze our own trail to accomplish this. Through our evaluation, we believe that championing justice for those most affected by climate disasters and violent conflict will help ensure we meet our goal. We began Action Corps in June 2016 as a fully volunteer-led initiative and remain that way today. Our passion for change is evident in this fact. We carry the weight of our campaigns, fundraising efforts, outreach, and challenges on our unpaid shoulders as we champion these efforts in our free time, attending to it around our full-time day jobs and responsibilities. It is nothing, however, compared to the weight that is born by those most affected by these issues. And that is what keeps us going.
You want to make a difference, but you're only one person. You want to volunteer more or attend protests, but they're always when you're at work. We are here to connect you to a national movement of regular Joes and Joannes who want to use their voice to agitate policy changes for the better. We are here to provide you with the raw facts of the issues and a simple explanation of how you can help, here and now.

Recent presidential elections saw political continuity and investor appetite maintained in Turkey, but high levels of indebtedness and political divisions may be cause for concern.
For those who don't like surprises, there must have been something reassuring about Turkey's presidential election on August 10. Former prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan romped to victory in the first round with just under 52% of the vote, well ahead of his main rival Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, who received 38%, and Kurdish candidate Selahattin Demirtaş who polled 9.6%. Indeed, Erdoğan's result was similar to what his Justice and Development Party (AKP) polled in local elections earlier this year, seemingly confirming that Turks remain generally supportive despite political scandals, unrest and the deteriorating situation in neighboring Syria and Iraq, which has raised local tensions and led to a refugee crisis.
The new president's appointment of a government headed by former foreign minister Ahmet Davutoğlu also reassured markets by retaining Mehmet Şimşek and Ali Babacan as Finance and Economy ministers and continuing the AKP's economic policy. Davutoğlu promised to prioritize reform and Turkey's EU accession process, as well as to continue rapprochement with the Kurdish minority, seen as even more important given unfolding events in neighboring Iraq. The prime minister is also pressing the idea of a "new Turkey" to coincide with Erdoğan's 2023 ambitions—the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish Republic—in which a new constitution giving more powers to the presidency and continued economic growth will be key elements.
Investors appear reassured. Demand for Turkish debt remains high. Foreign banks are still keen to lend to the country, and the lira has stabilized after some jittery months late last year and early this year, a situation that has reduced upward pressures on interest rates. Moreover, economic growth increased 4.3% in the first quarter, prompting many analysts to raise their full-year growth forecasts from around 2.5% to 3.5%—below the official target of 4% but better than most people predicted at the start of the year. However, second-quarter figures showed GDP growth of just 2.1% (below expectations of 2.8%), which suggests domestic demand is weakening and will increase pressure on the central bank to ease interest rates. Inflation, which is currently around 9.5%, is likely to remain well above target, putting constraints on any expansionary monetary policy and suggesting that foreign direct investment (FDI) is more important than ever to Turkish prosperity.
Ayci, Ispat: We attach the utmost importance to invesments, which contribute to sustainable growth.
Markovic, EBRD: The biggest risk is changing market sentiment.
"Turkey is on course to develop despite all the (negative) speculation since the beginning of the year," said Economy minister Nihat Zeybekci in August, unveiling figures that showed that FDI inflows had risen by 28% to $6.7 billion in the first half of 2014, compared with the first half of 2013, with some 68% of the total now coming from the EU. The biggest beneficiaries were manufacturing, financial services and energy. Turkey is also prioritizing FDI into high-value added areas.
"High technology, high value-added, knowledge-based and skills-intensive industries, which provide high-income jobs, are our priorities; however, we attach the utmost importance to investments, which contribute to sustainable growth," says İlker Ayci, head of Ispat, Turkey's investment promotion agency.
For this reason, energy has risen to the top of the list, with Ankara keen to reduce its dependence on imports, which have been one of the biggest contributors to the current-account deficit. The government plans to increase the share of renewables—especially wind and solar energy—in total electricity generation to 30% by 2023.
Turkish investors have also been quite active. Memhet Sami, lead partner for mergers and acquisitions and debt advisory at Deloitte in Istanbul, says local M&A activity in the first half of this year was up on figures for the first half of 2013 (104 deals against 94). Local banks, funds and individuals are eagerly investing in IPOs, especially from recent privatizations in energy and the national lottery.
"Foreign and local businesses are looking for growth and profit; as long as the economic and political stability is here, they will continue to invest," says Sami pointing to the huge pipeline of opportunities in the government's ambitious infrastructure investment program, which he says could be worth some $400 billion over the next 15 years.
Sami has also identified a new, growing trend—outbound M&A—with Turkish corporates increasingly looking beyond domestic borders for investment opportunities. Food and agribusiness companies, light manufacturing, tourism and financial services companies have all been active, with many looking beyond the Middle East and North Africa and the CIS countries—traditional expansion areas for Turkish companies—to Europe and even Asia-Pacific. "Turkish companies and banks seem increasingly confident and keen to move beyond traditional comfort zones," says Sami.
sanguine about growing imbalances and Turkey's external vulnerabilities and will eventually have no choice but to raise what are currently negative real interest rates (the policy rate is at 8.2%), even though Erdoğan and other senior AKP figures remain resolutely opposed to this. "Any attempt to loosen policy will lead to higher inflation and a wider current-account deficit," Shearing argues.
And then there's the politics. Erdoğan's election speech saw him promise to be an inclusive figure. It is still early in his term, but with many regarding him as divisive, he will have to work hard to reassure those who think he is acting increasingly authoritarian and seeking to undermine Turkey's secular traditions. However, his vastly symbolic decision not to live in Ankara's Çankaya Palace or work at Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul—both have been used by Turkish heads of state since the foundation of modern Turkey in 1923—certainly suggests a break with the past.
Turkey seems an increasingly divided nation—not just between the urban secular elite and supporters of the governing AKP but between supporters of Erdoğan and those who prefer former president Abdullah Gül, (whom Erdoğan sidelined when he made Davutoğlu premier). Geographically the election map shows the AKP remains unchallenged within inland Anatolia (except Ankara), along the coast and in Istanbul. However, İhsanoğlu holds sway in Izmir and along the Aegean coastal region, as well as in parts of Istanbul, whereas the southeast remains the stronghold of the Kurdish Democratic Regions Party.
Divisions also reach deep into Turkey's business community. The head of Müsiad, the association representing Muslim businessmen, said Erdoğan's presidential victory "reflected popular support for the continuation of a peaceful, trustworthy and stable environment." By contrast, Haluk Dinçer, president of Sabanci's retail and insurance group and of the secular Tüsiad industry and business association, stressed the need for an end to the "current polarized and segregated environment, which...could threaten democracy and development." Officials, however, describe the tense political environment as natural, given the circumstances. "Three important elections during a relatively short time easily gives way to heated debates in any democracy, especially in a country like Turkey, where so much has been achieved in so little time in such a volatile region," says Ispat's Ayci.
And the investing community seems prepared to give Turkey the benefit of the doubt, at least until next June's general elections, when longer-term questions—about the AKP's new economics team and strategy (Babacan and other ministers have a three-term limit to their tenure) and about whether it has secured a mandate sufficient to change the constitution—will come to the fore.
"Over the longer term a risk to growth may come from sub-optimal decisions being made, for example in failing to reduce regional imbalances or enhance energy security; in the short, the biggest risk is changing market sentiment, due to the unwinding of quantitative easing by the US Federal Reserve or perceived weakening of regulatory independence, which may lead to a rise in Turkey's risk premium," says Bojan Markovic, lead economist for the EBRD in Istanbul.
Currently, however, there is little sign of such risks emerging. Continued growth, the welcome downward trend in the current-account deficit—most analysts expect the figure for full-year 2014 to be around 6%, down from 7.8% last year—and resilient FDI and investment have led many investors to look at Turkey with fresh eyes.
Another positive is changing perceptions regarding Turkey's debt growth. Earlier this year ratings agency Fitch warned that "foreign liabilities had increased as loan demand outpaced growth." Janine Dow, senior director, financial institutions, Fitch Ratings, says Turkish loan growth slowed to just 7% in the first half of this year compared with 20% in the first half of 2013. Growth in household debt has also slowed.

Alan Gross Meets With Cuban Jewish Leaders in Jail During Hanukkah

Cuban Jewish leaders met with Alan Gross, a Jewish-American contractor in prison in Cuba.
Havana community President Adela Dworkin and vice president David Prinstein met with Gross on the last day of Hanukkah, two days after Gross marked his fourth year in jail in Cuba, according to the Associated Press, citing a statement from the Beth Shalom Temple in Havana. The Cuban Jewish leaders have met with Gross for other Jewish holidays throughout his imprisonment.
"During the encounter we could see that he was in better spirits, more physically recovered," the statement reportedly said.
Gross, 64, a subcontractor for the State Department on a mission to hook up Cuba's small Jewish community to the Internet, was arrested in December 2009 as he was leaving Cuba. The Maryland resident is serving a 15-year sentence for "crimes against the state.
Gross says he has lost 100 pounds since his imprisonment and suffers from painful arthritis. He reportedly leaves his shared cell once a day for one hour.
In a letter sent last week, Gross asked President Obama to personally help secure his release.
The Cuban government has indicated that it wants the United States to allow the return to Cuba of five spies in prison or on probation in the U.S. in return for negotiations on Gross.
Jewish and faith groups, and Gross' wife, Judy, demonstrated on behalf of Gross last week at Lafayette Park outside the White House along with officials from the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington.

I believe stories have a will of their own, one that surpasses in volition that of their teller. In realms of Storytelling, stories control their bearers, and eventually, their hearers as well.
There are certain levels of sadness that introduce you to parts of yourself you never knew existed, and it's always a much purer version of you that couldn't be any you-er than you. You fall in love with it and forget to move on.
I became addicted to the floating nature of nothingness, to the charm of its carefree pauses and to waiting. I magnified waiting. I wrote about waiting. I basked in its warm nook and completely let go of who I am or what I really wanted.

I just got back from a whirlwind odyssey back East, where I returned to Michigan for my foster mother's memorial, and then drove to New Hampshire to visit my best friend, Sonya. All of this was accomplished in one week, but it feels like I was gone for more than a month because so much adventure was packed into such a short span of time!
When you're on the road, the scenery is constantly changing. For me, it's like visiting a beautiful art gallery. You can tune into your thoughts, or tune out to the music. When you stop, you meet an array of interesting people from all over the world. I met people from Poland, The Ukraine, China, and Nicaragua on this trip, simply by observing: "I notice you have an accent. Where are you from?" Your mind is free to gather a wide array of visuals, sound bites and inspirations to store up in your creative reservoir as you drive along taking it all in.
But "taking it all in" was far from my mind when I arrived at Detroit Metro airport. I was feeling down-hearted, because I was there for my foster mother's memorial. I was also exhausted, since I had to arrive at the airport by 4AM for the first of my three flights to reach Michigan. When I exited the airport, the weather was so hot that it felt like I walked through the gates of hell! But like a miracle, it was: "Melvin to the rescue" in the air-conditioned Hertz shuttle bus. All the way to the rental car office, Melvin sang gospel and R&B tunes at the top of his lungs. He had a wonderful voice and really belted it out. I was in awe of his ability to take what could be a very dull job and turn it into a work of art uplifting everyone he comes in contact with. By the time I reached my tiny red econo-car, my spirits were significantly lifted, thanks to Melvin! The car was comical, like those tiny British cars that Mister Bean drives! My friend's kid said it reminded him of a gulf cart! But hey, at least it saved me some gas money!
I drove for an hour or so to Williamston, Michigan: the quaint little town where I spent my formative years with my foster parents, the Honeys from age 2-5. The memorial was a beautiful affair and a fitting tribute to my favorite person. After a day to decompress, I was on the road again heading to New Hampshire to visit my best friend, Sonya. It was smooth sailing until I reached the Canadian border. I grew up near Detroit and I used to cross the Canadian border all the time. It turns out that passports have been required since 9-11. Since I didn't have a passport, I was asked to leave Canada. This meant taking the long way around to get to New Hampshire, which added 6 hours to my trip. (and many extra states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts) I finally got to New Hampshire mid-day, then had one full day with my Sonya and her family, only to turn around and drive back the next day! I had my passport mailed to me overnight, which allowed me to travel through beautiful Canada on the way back. Otherwise, I would have missed my return flight.
Even though this road trip went by really quickly, it still allowed me to get a good dose of what I like to call: "Road Therapy." This is my own special version of personal therapy, and it's different every time depending on my needs. Its strength lies in having long hours of quiet time with my self to reflect and ask thought-provoking questions. Somehow the changing scenery makes it easier for me to communicate with the deepest parts of my psyche. It takes me to places I can't reach through traditional therapy. I don't spend the whole trip this way, however. Sometimes I just crank up the Coltrane and pretend that I am Jack Kerouac for awhile: just diggin' it all, man!
I have returned from my whirlwind odyssey back to Michigan for Little Honey's memorial and beyond. In my extreme grief, I was looking at my time there as a woman half my age who wasn't grieving. My eyes were bigger than my road warrior abilities, and I completely wore myself out. I was only gone for a week, but it feels like a year. So much happened internally: so many sad goodbyes. I don't quite know who I am at the moment. I didn't realize how much my identity was tied to Little Honey until she was gone. So who am I, and where do I go from here? I do not know.
I feel pressure to blog and do art and all the stuff I did easily before, but I am still in shock. I can't believe she's gone. I don't know when or how I will ever adjust to this loss. I am 46 years old, and every person I have loved deeply is now dead. It doesn't seem fair. I am feeling very sorry for myself. Please bear with me.

13:2 It is Allah Who raised up the heavens without columns for you to observe, then (in the manner befitting His Majesty) established Himself upon the Throne (of control), then subjected the sun and the moon; each one runs for up to an appointed term; Allah plans the works and explain the signs in detail, so that you may believe in meeting with your Lord.
13:3 And it is He Who spread out the earth and made mountains as anchors and rivers in it; and in it made all kinds of fruits in pairs - He covers the night with the day; indeed in this are signs for people who ponder.
13:4 And in the earth are various regions, and are close to each other - and gardens of grapes and fields, and date-palms, growing from a single branch and separately, all being given one water; and in fruits, We make some better than others in eating; indeed in this are signs for people of intellect.
13:5 And if you are amazed, then indeed the amazement is at their saying that, "Will we, after having turned to dust, be created anew?" They are those who have disbelieved in their Lord; and they are those who will have shackles around their necks; and they are the people of hell; remaining in it forever.
13:7 The disbelievers say, "Why is not a sign sent down upon him from his Lord?" You are purely a Herald of Warning, and a guide for all nations.
13:8 Allah knows all what is inside the womb of every female, and every increase and decrease of the wombs; and all things are with Him by a set measure.
13:9 The All Knowing of all things hidden and visible, the Great, the Supreme.
13:11 For man are angels of alternating duties, in front and behind him, who guard him by Allah's command; indeed Allah does not change His favour upon any nation until they change their own condition; and when Allah wills misfortune for a nation, it cannot be repelled; and they do not have any supporter besides Him.
13:12 It is He Who shows you the lightning, for fear and for hope, and raises the heavy clouds.
13:13 And the thunder proclaims His purity with praise, and the angels out of fear of Him; and He sends the bolt of lightning - it therefore strikes upon whom He wills, whilst they are disputing concerning Allah; and severe is His seizure.
13:14 Only the prayer to Him is truthful; and whomever they pray to besides Him, do not hear them at all, but like one who has his hands outstretched towards water that it may come into his mouth, and it will never come; and every prayer of the disbelievers remains wandering.
13:15 And to Allah only prostrate all those who are in the heavens and in the earth, willingly or helplessly - and their shadows - every morning and evening. (Command of prostration # 2).
13:16 Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Proclaim, "Allah"; Say, "So have you appointed such as supporters besides Him, who can neither benefit nor harm themselves?"; say, "Will the blind and the sighted ever be equal? Or will the realms of darkness and the light ever be equal?" Have they appointed such as partners to Allah who created something like Allah did? Therefore their creation and His creation seemed alike to them? Proclaim, "Allah is the Creator of all things, and He Alone is the Dominant over all."
13:17 He sent down water from the sky, so valleys flowed according to their measure, therefore the water flow brought forth the froth swollen upon it; and upon which they ignite the fire, to make ornaments and tools, from that too rises a similar froth; Allah illustrates that this is the example of the truth and the falsehood; the froth then bursts and disappears; and that which is of use to people, remains in the earth; this is how Allah illustrates the examples.
13:18 For those who obeyed the command of Allah is goodness and if those who did not obey Him owned all that is in the earth and in addition a similar one like it, they would give it to redeem their souls; it is they who will have a wretched account, and their destination is hell; and what a wretched resting place!
13:19 So will he, who knows that what is sent down upon you from your Lord is the truth, ever be equal to him who is blind? Only the men of understanding heed advice.
13:20 Those who fulfil the pact of Allah, and do not renege on the covenant.
13:21 Those who unite what Allah has commanded to be united, and fear their Lord, and apprehend the evil of the account.
13:22 Those who were patient in order to gain their Lord's pleasure and kept the prayer established and spent in Our cause part of what We bestowed upon them, secretly and openly, and repel evil by responding with goodness - for them is the gain of the final abode.
13:23 The everlasting Gardens of Eden which they will enter, and the deserving among their forefathers and their wives and their descendants - the angels will enter upon them from every gate.
13:24 (Saying), "Peace be upon you, the recompense of your patience - so what an excellent gain is the final abode!"
13:25 And those who break the pact of Allah after its ratification, and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined, and spread turmoil in the earth - their share is only the curse and their destiny is the wretched abode.
13:26 Allah eases and restricts the sustenance for whomever He wills; and the disbelievers rejoiced upon the life of this world; and the life of this world, as compared with the Hereafter, is just a brief utilisation.
13:27 And the disbelievers said, "Why was not a sign sent down upon him from his Lord?" Proclaim, "Indeed Allah sends astray whomever He wills, and guides towards Himself the one who comes towards Him."
13:28 "Those who accepted faith and whose hearts gain solace from the remembrance of Allah; pay heed! Only in the remembrance of Allah is the solace of hearts!"
13:29 "Those who accepted faith and did good deeds - for them is joy and an excellent outcome."
13:30 Similarly We sent you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) towards the nation, before whom other nations have passed away, for you to recite to them the divine revelations We sent down to you, whereas they are denying the Most Gracious; proclaim, "He is my Lord - there is no worship except for Him; I rely only upon Him and only towards Him is my return."
13:31 And were such a Qur'an to come that would cause the mountains to move, or the earth to split asunder, or the dead to speak, even then these disbelievers would not believe; in fact, all matters are only at Allah's discretion; so have not the Muslims despaired in that, had Allah willed, He would have guided all mankind? Disasters shall continue to strike the disbelievers on account of their deeds, or descend near their homes until Allah's promise comes; indeed Allah does not break the promise.
13:32 And indeed the Noble Messengers before you were also mocked - I therefore gave the mockers respite for some days and then seized them; so how (dreadful) was My punishment!
13:33 So is He who keeps a watch over the deeds of every soul (equal to their appointed partners)? And (yet) they ascribe partners to Allah! Proclaim, "Just name them - or is it that you inform Him of something which in His knowledge does not exist in the earth - or is it just superficial talk?" In fact, their deceit seems good to the disbelievers and are prevented from the path; and whomever Allah sends astray, so there is none to guide him.
13:34 They will be punished in the life of this world, and indeed the punishment of the Hereafter is the most severe; and there is none to save them from Allah.
13:35 A description of the Paradise which is promised to the pious; rivers flow beneath it; its fruits are unending, and its shade; this is the reward of those who fear; and the fate of the disbelievers is fire.
13:37 And similarly We have revealed this as a command in Arabic; and O listener (follower of this Prophet), if you follow their desires after the knowledge having come to you, then you will have neither a supporter nor any saviour against Allah.
13:38 And indeed We sent Noble Messengers before you, and made wives and children for them; and it is not the task of any Noble Messenger to bring a sign except by Allah's command; and all promises have a time prescribed.
13:39 Allah erases and confirms whatever He wills; and only with Him is the real script.
13:41 Do they not perceive that We are reducing their dwellings from all directions? And Allah gives the command - there is none that can postpone His command; and He spends no time in taking account.
13:42 And indeed those before them had plotted; therefore Allah Himself is the Master of all strategies; He knows all what every soul earns; and soon will the disbelievers realise for whom is the final abode.
13:43 The disbelievers say, "You are not a (Noble) Messenger (of Allah)"; proclaim, "Allah is a Sufficient Witness between me and you, and (so is) he who has knowledge of the Book."

The 7th European Innovation Summit: Launching the "Pact for Innovation"
Today, perhaps more than ever, Europe is torn between several priorities, all of which are equally high. Challenges we face become only more complex and grandeur with time. To some of them - innovation is able to respond. Europe has a strong commitment to innovation. It sees the crucial role innovation can play in its economy on the long run. To celebrate and manifest this commitment 7th European Innovation Summit took place from 7-10 December 2015 in the European Parliament in Brussels.
At the heart of this summit was the launch of the Pact for Innovation: a brave initiative of the knowledge4innovation, supported by key innovation stakeholders and European Institutions. The goal of the Pact for Innovation is to support and enhance a direct collaboration between stakeholders and policy makers.
The signatories of the Pact share a common vision of a globally competitive, agile Europe, supported by success of its industry, academia and entrepreneurship. They have an ambition to create a healthy, innovation-driven economy, able to take risks and win, thus bringing a long-term prosperity to this continent.
The Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, Carlos Moedas, welcomed the Pact and invited Knowledge4Innovation for a close cooperation.
The President of the European Committee of the Regions, Markku Markkula commented on the Pact for Innovation: "As President of the European Committee of the Regions, the EU assembly of 350 regional and local political representatives, I welcome initiatives like the Pact on Innovation which is today proposed by members of the European Parliament. I am also glad that the Pact takes on board the need to work at EU and national but also at regional and local level in order to achieve growth and jobs. For this to happen we need to effectively orchestrate innovation ecosystems at all levels. We need to move from strategies and planning into concrete action to boost innovation policies on the ground. I will pass on this message to all members of the European Committee of the Regions and propose them to support this initiative."
The Chair of the K4i Forum Governing Board Lambert van Nistelrooij explained that 'The Pact for Innovation' embodies the concept for a bottom-up entrepreneurial spirit in European regions and cities. According to him "The initiative of the 'Pact for Innovation' will lead to a stronger EU wide commitment and a closer cooperation in the field of innovation in the European Union. We focus on the achievements at all levels in the EU. We will work on a targeted revision on the EU 2020 strategy in 2016, together with strong performance based programmes for innovation in the years to come."
A special focus of the Summit was on youth involvement in order to spark a debate which provided constructive, sustainable and precise contributions to future EU-policy making. Young innovators from all over Europe actively engaged with policy-makers and innovation leaders. The Summit served these young innovators as a unique platform to enhance cross-border networking.
The Summit was covered extensively via social media providing everyone with the possibility to participate in the debates. Follow us on Facebook (Knowledge4Innovation) and Twitter (@k4innovation ), and join the conversation by using the hashtags #7EIS or #inpact.

#Tattoos have become a part of the identity of most human beings, and so you are now more likely to get a tattoo than any other time. As innovations continue to come up, and the creativity of #tattoosartists continues to improve there are now almost unlimited types and designs of tattoos to choose from.
Planning to have a new tattoo is both exciting and scary. There are so many things going on inside your head that one gets quite confused. Many look for tattoo designs in tattoo shops and randomly pick one from the catalog. But, since tattoos are a permanent mark on your skin that stay with you for the rest of your life, why not have your own set of favorite #tattoodesigns to choose from instead of choosing a design just like that.
