What people often underestimate is the complexity of drug addiction — that it is a disease that impacts the brain, and because of that, stopping drug abuse is not simply a matter of willpower. Through scientific advances we now know much more about how exactly drugs work in the brain, and we also know that drug addiction can be successfully treated to help people stop abusing drugs and resume productive lives.
It is because of these changes in the brain that it is so challenging for a person who is addicted to stop abusing drugs. Fortunately, there are treatments that help people to counteract addiction's powerful disruptive effects and regain control. Research shows that combining addiction treatment medications, if available, with behavioral therapy is the best way to ensure success for most patients. Treatment approaches that are tailored to each patient's drug abuse patterns and any concurrent medical, psychiatric, and social problems can lead to sustained recovery and a life without drugs.

Mortal Empires is Total War's best grand campaign
You'll need to be immortal to finish it
Fraser Brown
10th November 2017 / 5:00PM
Mortal Empires is Total War's grandest of grand campaigns: a stunningly huge global war with over 100 factions and 35 leaders duking it out over multiple continents. In terms of scale, it's the series at its most ambitious, and its most daunting. It took me an hour of second-guessing and two false starts before I finally settled on a faction and leader. It's excessive, really. I love it.
After Total War: Warhammer 2's tighter, objective-driven Vortex campaign, I was hesitant to jump into the more aimless Mortal Empires. Like the first Warhammer campaign, it's largely a free-for-all with each faction being given specific capitals to conquer and the eventual Chaos invasion to survive. The cinematics and the tense race for control of the titular Vortex are gone, and it's a loss, but plenty of other Warhammer 2 improvements have been carried over.
My very first Total War: Warhammer campaign, back when I first got my hands on it last year, was with the hoity-toity Vampire Counts, so for old times' sake, I returned to the haunted forests and imposing castles of Sylvania. This time, though, I picked one of the DLC leaders: Vlad von Carstein. Every piece of DLC, aside from the Norsca faction, can be used in Mortal Empires.
An early threat to the Vampire Counts are the Dwarven factions milling around the mountains to the east and south. The moment you turn around to deal with the Empire, those sneaky, stumpy blighters could crawl out of their underground fortresses and tumble down the mountainside to lay siege to Vampire cities. Dealing with them used to mean razing their settlements, but a razed town can always be colonised by Dwarves again, and until then it would just be left fallow. In the first Warhammer, factions could only colonise specific types of settlements, so these Dwarven towns were ultimately worthless to the Vampire Counts.
When Warhammer 2 introduced the concept of climates, it let any faction put down roots in any settlement, with the caveat that settlements in the wrong climate would be penalised. Mortal Empires uses the same rules, and it's had a pretty big impact on how factions develop. In my case, it meant that I was able to settle some of those Dwarven outposts and protect my rotten heartlands, but it also inspires some unexpected conflicts as factions take unusual expansion paths and collide with their new neighbours.
Playing as one of the Old World factions does feel different, then, with more places to colonise, ruins to explore and tweaks that bring them more in line with the Warhammer 2 factions. But while these are welcome improvements, until Creative Assembly ports over all the changes from the first Warhammer's fantastic Foundation update, some of the leaders are a step back from their counterparts in the original game.
Having not played the Vampire Counts since the my first week with Warhammer, however, the impact of the Warhammer 2 changes on their own was more than enough to stop it from feeling like I was treading old ground. The Warhammer 2 UI, which offers more fine control and greater legibility, is a particular blessing, especially when trying to manage a campaign of such intimidating proportions.
It wasn't until I started my second game as the Skaven Clan Mors that Mortal Empires and I really clicked, though. The first game's factions represented the high point in Creative Assembly's long history of designing armies and empires, but Warhammer 2's faction design is more out-there, with powerful, game-changing special abilities – rites – and more elaborate empire management mechanics. In Mortal Empires, this makes them shine just a bit more brightly.
Clan Mors is also a special case. Picking Queek as the leader starts Clan Mors in one of the game's new starting positions, in the south east of the map, surrounded by Savage Orc tribes, various undead factions like the Nechrarch Brotherhood, and lots of Dwarves. It's an area that hasn't been a focal point so far, but it's where we'll probably see Araby and the Tomb Lords appear. It's also one of the trickiest places to start in Mortal Empires.
See, Clan Mors has exactly one settlement, and it's surrounded by enemies both current and potential. To the south and east are settlements that are already hostile. To make things worse, Queek also has the Karak Eight Peaks objective. If you've played the Dwarf or Goblin factions from The King and the Warlord DLC, you'll already be familiar with it. It tasks the Dwarves and Goblins, and now Clan Mors, with conquering the ancient Dwarven settlement. Until they do, they suffer penalties due to the shame of being totally rubbish.
It's proving to be a tough journey, and a long one, as Queek starts quite a bit south of Karak Eight Peaks with no backup or Skaven allies. It also might be some of the most fun I've had with Total War: Warhammer. There's a great deal for the Skaven to contend with right from the get-go, and the magical rites feel just a shade overpowered when most of the other factions have to do without, which I'm very much in favour of – remember, imbalance is good. And while I might miss the pace and focus of the Vortex campaign, Mortal Empires' war-torn sandbox isn't entirely without direction, whether your objectives involve conquering a Dwarven hold or going on a quest for a magical weapon.
Turn times might be a problem for the impatient. It's definitely long enough for some glances at Twitter and loud, melodramatic sighs, but not so long that you could make a cup of tea. It's the cost of the scale, but it's also, perhaps, a sign that Mortal Empires is just a little bit too ambitious. I can't even conceive of how I could find the time to complete a long campaign.
I don't need to, of course, since there are still short victory options that are time-consuming enough, but more to the point, I don't think being overly ambitious is really a problem. The slightly experimental streak that Creative Assembly's been fostering over the last few years, of which Mortal Empires certainly seems to be a result, has led to some of the series' most game-changing features, from epic set piece quest battles to an entire faction built around ranged, guerilla tactics.
Mortal Empires is Total War taken to its absolute extreme, where it becomes a crazy, apocalyptic battle royale spread out across a world. I definitely still balk at the time investment, but I'm gleefully plotting my bloody incursion up into the Old World at the head of a swarm of Skaven, regardless. Smashing all these weird factions together on this stupidly huge map was a brilliant idea, even if it's a bit crowded. Eventually the Norscans will join the party, then all the Warhammer 2 DLC factions, and after that it's Warhammer 3 and its accompanying DLC… and that's when the world simply collapses in on itself. A fitting end for a universe constantly on the brink of destruction.
Mortal Empires is available right now on Steam for free. You'll also need Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer 2.

Social aims are at the core of FS' mission, and business firms are instrumental. Remarkably, despite decades of growth as a ranking business group, FS' underlying objective remained grounded in concern for the poor: "Tofight the structural causes of poverty."

Home/News/Political parties receive copies of voters register, electoral materials go to regions
Political parties receive copies of voters register, electoral materials go to regions
shawana yussif November 17, 2020
All the 16 regions will receive the electoral materials they require for the 2020 elections by Friday, November 20, this year.
Ahead of that, the Electoral Commission (EC) will hold an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting with all stakeholders on Thursday to brief them on Election Day activities
The electoral materials include ballot papers, the voters register, thumbprint pads, voting screens, stationery, identification jackets, polling station booths, rechargeable lamps, indelible ink, educational posters, seals and COVID-19 items such as Veronica buckets and sanitiser.
The Chairperson of the EC, Mrs Jean Mensa, who disclosed this to the Daily Graphic in an exclusive interview on Monday, added that all the political parties had also received their copies of the voters register.
The interview comes after the two Deputy Chairpersons of the EC, Dr Bossman Eric Asare and Mr Samuel Tettey, had met the Deputy United Nations Secretary-General, Ms Amina J. Mohammed, who is in the country on an official visit ahead of the December 7 polls and to familiarise herself with support efforts towards the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At the meeting were the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the African Union (AU) and Head of the United Nations Office to the AU, Ms Hannah Serwaa Tetteh; the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for West Africa and the Sahel, Dr Mohammed Ibn Chambas, and the UN Resident Coordinator in Ghana, Mr Charles Abani.
Mrs Mensa said the printing of both the voters register and ballot papers had been completed and they were being bagged.
"We have started dispatching them. Vehicles are in to send them. By Friday, November 20, 2020, all the regional offices would have received their electoral materials," she said.
She described the dispatch of electoral materials as a record, considering that the country was about two weeks away from the elections.
Throwing more light on the issue, the Director of Electoral Services at the EC, Dr Serebour Quaicoo, said in previous elections, electoral materials were delivered two days to the elections or on election day.
He said the EC wanted to change the dynamics of doing things, hence the early delivery of all materials.
BVDs
On the biometric verification devices (BVDs) to be used on Election Day, Dr Quaicoo said the EC would provide two extra BVDs per polling station, so that in the event that there was a challenge with what was being used, the extra devices would come in handy.
He gave an assurance that all the gadgets had been tested and were ready to deliver excellent services on Election day.
For instance, he said, although the batteries of the BVDs could last for 11 hours when fully charged, the EC had gone the extra mile to provide power banks as a back-up.
UN meeting
Touching on the meeting with the UN officials, Dr Asare said the EC team briefed the UN delegation on preparations towards the December 7 elections.
He said the EC expressed appreciation to the UN for its invaluable support in strengthening its work.
He said the EC assured the team that it was ready to deliver free, fair, transparent and credible elections on December 7.
When Mrs Mensa appeared before Parliament on November 7, this year, she assured the House that the commission was 95 per cent ready to conduct successful, credible, fair, orderly and peaceful elections on December 7.
She said the commission had already procured a wide range of electoral materials for the 2020 elections.
She said it had procured 147 vehicles, made up of 15 motorbikes, 30 four-wheel drives, 107 pick-ups, eight haulage trucks and two Coaster buses to help facilitate the movement of its staff and promote the delivery of their mandate at the district level.
That, she indicated, had bolstered the efficiency of its staff, as well as the swift movement of goods and materials from the stores of the EC to the regional and district offices.
Mrs Mensa said the commission had, to date, employed close to 233,632 temporary officials, made up of returning officers and their deputies, presiding officers, verification officers, name reference officers, as well as a COVID-19 ambassadors, for the elections.

Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (06.10.09) reports that Kutlay Erk and Erkut Sahali, General Secretary and Secretary for Foreign Relations of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) respectively, have departed for Spain in order to participate in the meetings of the Regional Committee of the Socialist International of the Mediterranean Sea. According to a statement issued by CTP, Erk and Sahali will hold bilateral meetings during their stay in Barcelona. They are expected to return to the occupied areas of Cyprus tomorrow.
Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (06.10.09) reports that the self-styled assembly accepted yesterday to discuss as urgent the 22 decrees in the power of law, which have been submitted by the government in spite of the fact that the trade unions and the opposition are against them.
During the discussion, the chairman of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP), Ferdi Sabit Soyer said that the draft laws submitted by the government will have no other use than creating democratic problems while there are economic problems that should be discussed. Moreover, the chairman of the Democratic Party (DP), Serdar Denktas said that the decrees should be withdrawn and laws should be prepared instead of them. He noted that the security measures taken around the building of the assembly were excessive.
The self-styled prime minister, Dervis Eroglu stated that taking measures to tackle the economic crisis is inevitable and announced that soon they will sign a protocol with Turkey. During the address of Mr Eroglu, the representatives of the trade unions, who were watching the debates, left the room.
Meanwhile, the Trade Unions Platform held a protest activity outside the assembly demanding the withdrawal of the draft-laws regarding the pensions. The self-styled police took very extensive security measures and some roads leading to the assembly were closed for the traffic. Moreover, KTAMS held a strike yesterday in the Courts and the Title Deeds Department which is located in the building of the Courts.
The participants in the strike marched towards the building of the assembly, where the chairman of the trade union, Ahmet Kaptan accused the government of forgetting the promises it gave to the workers before the so-called elections and of administrating the country with instructions it takes from Ankara.
Furthermore, Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika newspaper (06.10.09) refers to the issue under the title We became the fools of Ankara and reports that neither Ferdi Sabit Soyer nor Dervis Eroglu knows the interference made against the protestors by the police, who are not bound to the civilian authority, but in spite of this everybody blames each other and not Ankara! The paper writes that Mr Eroglu stated that he has not invited the police to be in front of the assembly yesterday.
Moreover, Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen newspaper (06.10.09) reports that 500 policemen were on duty to prevent 50 members of the trade unions. The paper refers to the issue under the front-page banner title This government is closed to the people.
Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika newspaper (06.10.09) reports that the so-called MP with the Social Democracy Party (TDP), Mustafa Emiroglulari has said that the foreign population in the occupied areas of Cyprus is twice or three times more than the local population. In statements yesterday at the assembly, Mr Emiroglulari noted that while the economy is being discussed the situation of the population should also be known and pointed out that the foreigners living in the European countries are 14-15% of the population. Noting that the foreigners in the occupied areas of Cyprus have become twice or even three times as many as the local population, Mr Emiroglulari said that no measures and economic policy could be implemented in this situation. He said that the economy improves when the hope for a solution in the Cyprus problem increases and added that the investments stop when this hope decreases. Mr Emiroglulari said that he faced difficulties to reach to the assembly yesterday because of the measures taken by the police.
Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen newspaper (06.10.09) reports that The Management Centre, which intensified its activities for the development of the civilian society in Cyprus and the world and for sustainable growth, participated in the meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Istanbul together with the self-styled ministers of finance and economy. The paper reports also that the chairman of the Centre, Dr. Bulent Kanol is participating in the meeting as the representative of an accredited institution representing the whole of Cyprus upon invitation by the World Bank. The annual meeting of the IMF and the World Bank started on 2 October and is expected to end tomorrow.
Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (06.10.09) reports that the so-called Higher Broadcasting Council has issued a statement noting that the radio and television stations in the occupied areas of Cyprus ignore the understanding of carrying out neutral broadcasting and based on principles. The council called on every station to show sensitivity. The statement includes also the following: In the programs there should be no broadcastings which have no artistic and scientific value and ruin our beautiful Turkish language with wrong expressions and wording saying it is the Cyprus dialect.
Turkish Cypriot daily Vatan newspaper (06.10.09) reports that the cost of living in the occupied areas of Cyprus has increased by 0.7% during September. According to the paper, the Department of Statistics and Research of the so-called State Planning Organization which monitors the developments in the consumer prices, has announced that the consumer price index increased by 0.7% compared to last month and that it changed by 3.3% in comparison to December of the previous year and by 3.6% in comparison to September of 2008.
According to the previous month, increase was observed in the following main groups of products and services: Clothing and Footwear 3%, communication 2.2%, miscellaneous goods and services 1%, education 0.9%, furnishing, household equipment and routine household maintenance 0.4%, food and non-alcoholic beverages and entertainment, restaurants and hotels 0.1% while in the health services there was a decrease by 0.1%.
Efforts to clean an oil spill off the coast of Kalecik [occupied Gastria] in the Iskele [occupied Trikomo] District are continuing.
The Director of AKSA Energy Murat Captug who is heading the clean-up effort said that most of the spill has been successfully cleaned, averting an environmental disaster.
Teams from the TRNC Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Cultural as well as the AKSA Energy firm responsible for the spill are working strenuously to clean-up an oil spill from a tanker off the Kalecik-Iskele coast.
Speaking to the BRT, the Director of AKSA Energy Murat Captug said that the spill had been caused by a malfunction on a tanker during transfer of the fuel to shore. Explaining that up to 80-90% of the spill has been cleaned he said that clean-up operations will continue for several more days until the area is completely decontaminated.
Around 2 tons of fuel oil had spilled into the sea from a tanker pumping fuel to fuel tanks on shore, killing fish and other marine animals.
A Turkish state minister said on Monday that the government was not thinking of holding general elections in 2010.
Turkey's State Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said that the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party was not thinking of holding general elections in 2010, earlier than the scheduled. However, I do not know what the conditions will bring, Arinc told the private CNN Turk channel.
Arinc said that the democratic move of the government was a process, and could not be associated with only ethnic origin. The state minister said the government would try to accomplish the process.
Also, Arinc said the society and he were expecting to see a civilian and new constitution. We will do it when we reach a political compromise in the parliament, Arinc said.
Arinc underlined the importance of the stances of the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) in that process, and said he thought the Democratic Society Party (DTP) would most probably support a constitutional amendment. The minister said the decision to bring DTP lawmakers to court by police force was wrong, and they were trying to solve the problem. We are working to exclude the sentence of exception in the Article 38, and this is a final solution, he said.
Ankara will host the Turkey-Syria United Natural Disasters Search and Rescue (DAK) Exercise, the Turkish General Staff announced in its web site.
The exercise is designed to foster cooperation in cases of natural disasters between the two countries. Two DAK teams from each country will attend the exercise.
The exercise began on Monday and will end on Friday, October 9.
Turkish State Minister for foreign trade Zafer Caglayan said Monday his ministry was working on a project to establish a joint free zone at the Turkish-Iranian border.Speaking at the meeting of the Turkish-Iranian Business Council in Istanbul, Caglayan said that the global crisis devastated the economies of the world.Turkey has been (negatively) affected by the global crisis and continues to be affected, Caglayan said. Hopefully, by the end of 2009, Turkey will overcome the negative effects of the global financial crisis. Turkey will again become a country that shows growth in 2010, Caglayan said.
A global crisis requires a global solution. Countries of the world must increase commercial relations among themselves. As such, the current visit of 200 Iranian businessmen to Turkey carries high importance, Caglayan said. This meeting would be more meaningful if the businessmen of the two countries make mutual investments and work together in third countries, Caglayan said.
The trade volume between Turkey and Iran was 10.5 billion USD in 2008. The trade volume went down in 2009 due to the global crisis and would reach 6.5 billion USD by the end of this year. These figures do not represent the potential. We must increase mutual trade with Iran to 20 billion USD in the next five years, Caglayan stressed.
We can work together in construction services. In the next decade, more than 130 billion USD of investments would take place in the energy field in Turkey. We desire to see Iranian businessmen involved in Turkey's energy sector, Caglayan also said.
The Turkish energy minister left for Qatar on Monday. Turkey's Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz will pay a visit to Qatar upon an invitation by Qatari Minister of Energy and Industry Abdallah bin Hamad al-Atiyah.
Before flying to this country, Yildiz said he would sign an agreement with the Qatari minister of energy which would set up working groups. These working groups will deal with long-term energy contracts and feasibility works on natural gas, he said.
Yildiz said he would visit energy centres and First Turkish Export Products Exhibition in Qatar, and exchange views on new energy projects in Turkey. The energy minister said Qatar would be one of the countries with which Turkey was negotiating to diversify its natural gas resources and create a natural gas market with more reasonable prices.
Turkey and Qatar agreed to establish a joint committee to seek opportunities on energy cooperation during Qatari Amir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani's visit to Turkey in August.
Ahmet Turk was re-elected the leader of the Democratic Society Party (DTP). The third extraordinary congress of the DTP took place in Ankara. Some 654 delegates cast their votes to elect new chairman of the political party. Turk received all valid 651 votes.
During his speech at the congress, Turk said that Turkey was living through a significant period. We are ready to fulfil our responsibilities. Turkish and Kurdish peoples who have been living on these lands for a century deserve a better future, he said.
The pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party, or DTP, has decided to open representative offices in Iran, Syria and northern Iraq, countries where important ethnic Kurdish populations exist.
The decision was taken during the partys convention held in Ankara on Sunday. A while ago, the party announced the establishment of representations in Brussels and in Washington, D.C., as part of the DTPs efforts to better promote its policies abroad.
The DTPs office in northern Iraq is expected to be opened in Suleymaniya, in Irans Urumiya and in Syrias Aleppo. It is not known when the offices will be opened.
Another important decision made at the convention was to elect the imprisoned leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) Abdullah Ocalans brother Mehmet Ocalan to the governing body of the DTP. Similarly, grandson of Sheikh Sait, who revolted against the Turkish Republic in 1925, Bedri Firat was also elected as a member of the Party Assembly.
Professor Busra Ersanli; writer Faik Bulut; actress Yesim Dormen; former head of the Socialist Democracy Party Filiz Kocali; former minister responsible for human rights Adnan Ekmen; and former Republican Peoples Party (CHP) deputy Esad Canan were also included in the Party Assembly.
Apart from these figures, 16 people who are currently in prison on charges of having connections with the terror organization were also elected to the Party Assembly. Among them are deputy chairpersons Selma Irmak, Kmauran Yuksek and Bayram Altun.
The party will likely appoint Emine Ayna as co-chairwoman of the party alongside Ahmet Turk. In the coming days the party will select its new members for the Central Decision-making Council (MYK).
The chairman of a Turkish labour confederation underwent a successful surgery after an armed attack against him on Monday. Suleyman Celebi, the chairman of Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions of Turkey (DISK), underwent a surgery at Istanbuls Florence Nightingale Hospital after he was shot in his left foot.
The bullets in Celebis foot were removed, and he is in stable condition, Fahrettin Erdogan, the press and public relations director of the confederation, told AA correspondent. Erdogan said Celebi would be kept under intensive care as a precaution till Tuesday since he had earlier underwent a cardiac surgery.
Celebi was shot in the foot in an armed attack in DISK HQ in Sisli district of Istanbul earlier on Monday. He had a few bullets in his left foot. The assailant, who was immediately caught after the attack, told police that he shot Celebi as he did not pay his debt.
Relating his conversation with Dervis Eroglu, self-styled prime minister in the occupied areas of Cyprus, in a column in Milliyet, Fikret Bila points out that Eroglu and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who adopted opposing views with regard to the Annan Plan on Cyprus, has begun displaying similar stands. In reaction to this, Eroglu says that Mr Erdogans patience has run out in the face of the Greek Cypriot moves to deadlock the issue. Bila argues that Erdogan has begun changing his attitude regarding the Cyprus issue, warning the Republic of Cyprus in his speech at the United Nations. Bila recounts Eroglus interpretation as follows: Erdogan gave the message that if the Greek Cypriot side fails to reach an agreement by spring, each side will go its separate way, meaning that in such an eventuality the KKTC would continue on its path as an independent state and exerts efforts for recognition. Bila concludes that if Erdogan adopts a different attitude by spring, Eroglu may decide to run for president in the occupied by Turkish troops territories of the Republic of Cyprus.
In a commentary in Milliyet, Riza Turmen explores the reasons for what he terms the great distance between Turkey and the EU. The EU, which is an integration of values, is based on democracy, secularism, and the importance of the individual, Turmen explains, adding that it is the principle of secularism that unites or separates Turkey from the EU. According to Turmen, there is some confusion in the Turkish discourse regarding the concepts of culture and civilization. He says that the Turkish society is not expected to renounce its culture, but it should adopt the universal value system of Western civilization while preserving its culture. He adds: It is difficult for Turkey to accede to the EU while religion is increasingly becoming a veiled state ideology; while there are attempts to suppress the opposing media through various means; while the political authority is trying to control every aspect of the society and the individuals life; while it is becoming harder for autonomous institutions to continue their existence; and while communal life is prevailing over individual life. A Turkey that has veered away from the EU route cannot be a democratic, contemporary, and civilized state of law.
In a commentary also in Milliyet, Kadri Gursel questions chief EU negotiator Egemen Bagis statement that the government is progressing toward the EU goal with startling speed. Gursel maintains, in contrast, that we are on the verge of a complete deadlock, and the only key to unlock this impasse is the solution of the Cyprus problem. He says this would help to restart negotiations on a number of chapters that are currently suspended because of the Cyprus problem. Unless the Cyprus problem is resolved by spring, when presidential elections will be held in northern Cyprus, Eroglu, who is opposed to a solution, may win the elections against the incumbent Mehmet Ali Talat, he argues, concluding: If the Cyprus problem is not resolved now, it could cut Turkeys road to the EU without prolonging it any further.
Erdogans sincerity will be tested by developments, headlines Semih Idiz in a column in Milliyet, referring to the prime ministers speech at the Justice and Development Party, (AKP), congress over the weekend. Idiz states that the two-hour speech that reflected self-confidence and energy contained messages for domestic consumption as well as for the world. Idiz reports that the foreign missions in Ankara interpreted Erdogans remarks as a kind of manifesto for a new era. In naming some of the figures that symbolize the different sectors of our society in the same breath, Idiz argues, Erdogan gave the message of unity via tolerance. Idiz also maintains that despite the criticism he levelled against the opposition, Erdogan revealed that he wants to pursue a conciliatory rather than a belligerent stand by saying these are above-party matters, come let us resolve them together. In Idizs opinion, the lack of focus on the freedom of the press in Erdogans speech was a serious shortcoming. Idiz concludes by saying that the developments in the coming weeks, especially with regard to the Kurdish and Armenian overtures, will constitute a test of Erdogans sincerity.
Writing in a commentary in Hurriyet, Mehmet Yilmaz says that he had a hard time recognizing the prime minister in the speech delivered at the party congress, and suggests this may stem from the difference between the written word as opposed to colloquial speech. Yilmaz says: The Erdogan we know gives himself away in his ad hoc statements. There we find the extent to which he is able to internalize democracy and to love everyone, his fury, the source of his rage, and the degree of his shallowness. Not in this plastic text. He calls it plastic because it looks beautiful on the outside, but inside it is the same personality. Yilmaz further criticizes the lack of democracy within the party, given the unanimous vote for Erdogan, terming the process staged democracy.
In a commentary in Hurriyet Daily News.com, Yusuf Kanli also questions the sincerity of Erdogan and his government, stating: Hopefully the AKP government will change and progress in the period ahead and prove all the sceptics wrong. Lets hope that Erdogan was not just reading from a prepared text reflected on a mirror placed in front of him but indeed talking out of his heart and brain.
In an article entitled I would have liked to be there, Yeni Safak columnist Fehmi Koru, writing under the pseudonym Taha Kivanc, discloses that he did not attend the AKPs latest convention over the weekend because the party administration did not offer him a special invitation to be present at the occasion like one made through a phone call by a deputy chairman or the partys press officer. Koru criticizes the AKP for its indifference toward the news media indicated by its reluctance to encourage [press] participation in the convention, asserting that this situation will cause future historians to find it hard to base their accounts of todays political events on the testimony of reliable witnesses. He also asserts that the AKPs press office appears to have been too busy trying to persuade celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Kevin Costner to attend the AKP convention to remember to invite certain columnists and media executives to this event.

Signalling and perception occurring in the plant-nematode interaction.
Identification of novel natural compounds for nematode control.
Diagnostic assays, antibody production.
Crop protection: seed treatment and foliar spray to induce plant immunity.
Dr Rosane Curtis has 26 years' experience on research with plant and animal parasitic nematodes. The last 21 years was dedicated to lead research of host-recognition processes and of signaling and perception occurring during the interaction of nematodes with their hosts at Rothamsted-Research, an institute of BBSRC (Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council). This research aimed to identify processes with potential for genetic or chemical interventions in new strategies for nematode management. Research showing that blocking amphidial secretions interfere with nematode behaviour and infection of plants and collaborative research showing that fruit cysteine proteinases have a significant nematicidal effect, resulted in two patent fillings in the UK (GB 46082) and in the USA (WO2008087555), respectively.
Understand host-recognition processes between plants and nematodes to identify vulnerable points in the nematode life-cycle that can be used as novel targets for selective chemical and genetic intervention.

Although Audrey is impressed by the recent headway that feminism has made, she still understand that further advancement is needed. However, many people in her area don't shred's this view and believe that the fight for womxn's liberation is something of the past, preventing (and sometimes erasing) progress. For the sake of the womxn in her community, she knows that these misconceptions have to be corrected, and that awareness and advocacy has to spread. She saw the regional director position at new/gen as the perfect way to accomplish this.
Many Nebraskans somehow think that Nebraska is either a post-sexism state or that the sexism that does exist is negligible. Although there are more extreme forms of sexism throughout the world that new/gen Nebraska also aims to focus on, it is nonetheless important to understand how oppression affects women in Nebraskan communities. new/gen Nebraska aims to work with other organizations and independently to make sure that Nebraskan gender equality continues to progress, as well as to ensure that previous advancements aren't vulnerable to relapse.

Queen Anne is like a different dog than when we first got her. You wouldn't believe it! She isn't shy anymore, that's for sure. She and Jiggy are like peas and carrots. They get along so well. They bring us so much joy, none of which would be possible without you guys. You are the best.
Jiggy is living the high life. He has his own room, with his own big red chair and we spoil the heck out of them. We take them on walking trails at Emerson Point and I walk them down by the river everyday. They love their fenced in backyard and they love to visit my Mom and Stepdad and their doggie. We take them for rides in the car, which they love. Jiggy likes to stick his nose out the window, Queen Anne just sits very regally and sniffs the air when it comes to her. hee hee!!! They are our children and we can't thank you enough for bringing them into our lives. Have a wonderful summer!

had functioned as disciplinary bodies. The minutes of this conference differ from those of the earlier meetings by specifying the charges against the individuals who were to be disciplined;
See Minutes, 1 Sept. 1831; Minutes, 6 Sept. 1831; and Minutes, 12 Sept. 1831.
this conference specifically dealt with a case of church members allegedly committing an impropriety against another member.
A February 1831 revelation explained how a church member should proceed if offended by another member: First, the two parties were to meet in private and seek reconciliation. If the offending party did not confess to the grievance, he or she was to be brought before "the Church not to the members but to the Elders and it shall be done in a meeting and that not before the world."
Revelation, 23 Feb. 1831 [D&C 42:88–89].
At that point, the offender faced chastisement based on the nature of the offense. "If thy Brother offend many he shall be chastened before many," the revelation declared, "and if any one offend openly he shall be rebuked openly that he may be ashamed." One who offended someone "in secret" would be "rebuked in Secret that he may have oportunity to confess in Secret."
A September 1831 revelation reiterated these instructions, but it also declared that those who did not repent and confess their sins should be brought "before the church" to be dealt with "as the

18 University Students Selected from 9 Universities will take a Tour of Silicon Valley and Meet Tech Industry Insiders Roelof Botha, Jason Mendelson, Danielle Morrill and More.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. –– November 18, 2014 — Silicon Valley Bank, a champion of innovative companies around the world, today introduced The SVB Trek— a three-day tour of Silicon Valley that will connect 18 select university students with successful tech industry entrepreneurs and investors. The goal of The SVB Trek is to help build the students' professional networks and inspire entrepreneurship among the group. Students from nine universities across the US will make the Trek to Silicon Valley January 6-8, 2015.
"We see The Trek as an investment in the future of the tech industry and consider these students pioneers of innovation," said Ashraf Hebela, Managing Director with Silicon Valley Bank. "We are extremely grateful to our friends and partners who will act as guides to the students and share their advice and experiences. We aim to help move bold ideas forward fast, and since many tech companies get their start at the university level, we thought what better way than to offer bright, ambitious, future entrepreneurs the experience and insights of successful leaders from the tech sector."
Over a three day journey in Silicon Valley and San Francisco, the 18 undergraduate and graduate students will attend a series of events with their Trek Guides, a "who's who" of influential investors and entrepreneurs in the tech community. The Trek Guides, including the Silicon Valley Bank team, will offer insight and advice on getting started in the technology industry, finding a business soul mate, perfecting their pitch, and bouncing back after failure. The students will have an opportunity to visit Stanford's d.school, StartX, the offices of Andreessen Horowitz, BIRST and Mattermark, co-working facility WeWork Golden Gate, and Silicon Valley Bank's offices on Sand Hill Road.
"You can't manufacture this kind of education in a classroom setting," said Ami Stuart, Tech Events Manager for Cornell University. "The SVB Trek will provide students an opportunity to meet other enterprising students from around the country, develop a rich network of contacts and hear directly from some incredible entrepreneurs and investors. We're thrilled to be a part of The SVB Trek and know it will have a positive impact on our students' university experience and future career."
Profiles of the participating students and the Trek Guides can be found on The SVB Trek web site at http://www.siliconvalleybanktrek.com/ .

Cain's Jawbone: TikTok helps reissued literary puzzle fly off the shelves
Bygevoeg deur prem aan 23/11/2021
The reissue of an "almost impossibly difficult" literary puzzle from 1934, which has only ever been solved by four people, is flying off the shelves after a popular TikTok user began charting her own attempt to crack the mystery.
Cain's Jawbone is a murder mystery invented by the Observer's first cryptic crossword inventor, Edward Powys Mathers, who was known as Torquemada. The story sees six people die – but in order to discover whodunnit, readers must reorder the jumbled 100 pages. The number of possible combinations is a figure with 158 digits, and to date, just four people have found the solution.
Two of these were in the 1930s, Mr S Sydney-Turner and Mr W S Kennedy, who both won £25. The mystery, which is named after the first recorded murder weapon, was then out of print for years, until the Laurence Sterne Trust was presented with a copy of The Torquemada Puzzle Book, which contains its text, and Shandy Hall curator Patrick Wildgust set out to solve it. Once he'd done so, publisher Unbound reissued the title with a £1,000 prize in 2019. Daar was 12 entrants, with British comedy writer John Finnemore the only one to get the answer right.
Unbound and the Laurence Sterne Trust decided to keep the solution secret, and published Cain's Jawbone as a paperback this July. Sales have gone through the roof in the last week, after American TikTok user Sarah Scannell began charting her attempts to solve the puzzle, papering her room in the book's pages as she tries to crack the code. Scannell, a communications assistant at a nonprofit documentary production company in San Francisco called Citizen Film, is known on TikTok as @saruuuuuuugh and has more than 60 thousand followers.
"I've decided to take this nearly impossible task as an opportunity to fulfil a lifelong dream and turn my entire bedroom wall into a murder board," says Scannell, in a video which has been viewed more than four million times, and received more than 5,000 comments.
Her subsequent attempts to solve the puzzle have seen copies of Cain's Jawbone sell out on the Unbound site and Amazon. The publisher, which is fielding foreign rights queries from around the world, says that orders in the US have topped 10,000 copies, and in Canada are more than 3,000 copies. It is now reprinting 10,000 copies in the UK, and plans to have them in shops by mid-December.
Scannell was at a local independent bookshop near her house, Green Apple Books, when she spotted the title.
"I figured $10 wasn't too big a loss if I couldn't figure it out," said Scannell. "Like I say in one of my TikToks, I have never read a murder mystery book before but I do love logic puzzles, which is why I bought the book in the first place."
She has now read the book twice, and while she believes she will be able to put the pages in the correct order, she's not as confident about then solving the mystery.
"I can already tell that the language and cultural differences between not just 1934 and now but also England and American will be very difficult to navigate. But I put it all up on my bedroom wall so that it would be easier for me to work on it in short bursts," sy het gese. "I officially started on 2 November, but am really taking my time because my goal is just to get in an answer I'm happy with before the deadline next December. I really didn't expect 4.5 million people to be joining me in this activity, but I genuinely don't care if someone solves it before me. I'm just here to have fun on my own time."
"What makes me most happy about the TikTok success is that half the profits will go to the Laurence Sterne Trust. Sterne would have loved everything about this story," said co-founder and publisher of Unbound, John Mitchinson. "He adored setting literary puzzles and finding clever ways to market his books. People forget that Tristram Shandy was a huge bestseller in 1759: Sterne literally laughed all the way to the bank."
Mitchinson said that Cain's Jawbone was "almost impossibly difficult" as a puzzle. "It took … the comedy writer John Finnemore four months of research. The number of possible combinations of individual pages generates a figure with 158 zeroes. It is full of red herrings and blind alleys," hy het gesê.
Although the main prize of £1,000 has already been claimed by Finnemore, Unbound is still accepting and marking entries, and anyone who solves the puzzle before 31 Desember 2022 will receive £250 to spend supporting other book projects on the Unbound site.

So when I hit remission several months ago, it wasn't just "Yay I'm better!" but also "Woah, now what?" What did I want to spend my time doing now that my days wasn't packed with pills and needles and coffee enemas? For soooo long, all I'd really wanted was to feel better. Now that I did, what did I want to do with my new wellness?
Well, for one thing, I decided to work towards making Hope Heal Cook everything I'd dreamed it could be.
However, the more time and energy I put into HHC, the more I found myself talking about illness, symptoms and treatments. And something about that began to feel a bit off. I mean, here I was, finally in remission, free to enjoy a new life —one not totally overwhelmed by all-things-chronic-illness— yet my work as a blogger basically revolved around all-things-chronic-illness.
Then, back in May, my devices got spyware hacked and all my accounts become compromised (huge "Boooo" on that, BTW.) After much technical frustration, I finally just shut everything down. That's when I remembered what my Dr had told me when I'd first hit remission.
She'd recommend that I take 3 months off in order to step back and explore my new life.
The message this time seemed to be something along the lines of: "Kat, take a dang break like your Dr told you. Also, oh my goodness, you are so freaking stubborn, I can't believe it took THIS to get you to consider taking time off." Yeah, okay. Fair enough.
So I decided to listen.
I committed to taking off as much time as I wanted to explore my new life in remission before going back online. Which ended up being about 3 months, or exactly what my Dr suggested (she's a smart lady.) Within just a few weeks I realized why taking time off was so important. It gave me the opportunity to take a break not just from working, but from talking about illness.
That allowed me, for the very first time, to distance myself from my identity as someone who was sick. Until I unplugged, I was still somewhat trapped in my old identity because most of my online interactions were about illness and healing.
By taking a "Social Media Sabbatical" I was finally able to just be ME. And that freedom, was deeply, and profoundly healing.
It allowed me to reconnect with the parts of myself that over the years were overshadowed by symptoms and treatments. I got to not talk about or think about illness. Instead I got to focus on rebuilding my life without feeling the need to simultaneously share my journey. That was important.
Here's why: only when we allow ourselves to fully move forward out of illness, can we fully enter into a New Wellness. That transition takes time and space. It requires pulling back from our past, where we were sick, in order to more completely and intentionally dwell in the present, where wellness has been achieved.
For me, that meant unplugging, and I'm so glad I did. Talking about our healing journeys helps. A lot. It lets us process the feels, connect with others, and find information and support when we need it most. But now I know that not talking about our healing journey, at least for a while once we've healed, can be just as beneficial.
I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful Welcome Backs I've received on social media, and apologize again for any worry I caused when I sorta suddenly digitally disappeared.
I missed you all, and it's good to be back.
I have a long way to go, but the cancer didn't happen overnight.
Lovely post Kat. WONDERFUL news on you reaching remission!
I'm terribly sorry for the grief and stress of being hacked, but what a true blessing in disguise.
Best wishes as you continue forward with HHC. Keep enjoying life to the fullest. I look forward to following your healthy journey!
What a beautiful post!!!!!!! Welcome back, love 🙂 So happy you took time off for YOU!

"I've witnessed first hand the impact of the vital and much appreciated support for parents of young children, many of whom are self referring," said John.
"Home-Start supports during the most stressful times, provide a virtual 'family', which is often missing in our geographically fragmented society.
John, aka Joe Rose, made his live debut at Folkstock's all-day festival at The White Lion in Baldock in September.

Lauren also played all the instruments to accompany Joe's performance.
She said: "I get real pleasure from helping someone bring a song to life.

Looking to escape the summer heat? Descend into the Catacombs of San Callisto!
Looking to escape the heat of the Eternal City? Descend into the Catacombs of San Callisto!
Explore the intricate underground labyrinth of the Catacombs of San Callisto, the first Christian cemetery. This marvel of architectural and engineering thought dates back to the 2nd century, when the Christians were harshly persecuted and had no other choice but to bury their dead among the pagans. And so, they retreated underground.
Today millions of tourists and pilgrims alike flock to the site to see the unique early Christian art and relics found in the catacombs. The first Christians made good use of symbols, which they depicted on the walls of the catacombs and, more often, carved them on the marble-slabs which sealed the tombs.
Besides the ancient symbols, the greatest and most important catacombs of Rome has beautifully preserved frescoes, original inscriptions in Greek and mosaics. Among other attractions not to miss are "the little Vatican," or the crypt of the Popes, and the crypt of St. Cecilia, the patron of music.
