Up early and off to northern Osaka to visit the old Japanese farm house in Hattori-Ryokuchi. The park features 12 old style farm houses brought from rural areas all over Japan, build during the Edo period (17th - 19th centuries). Many elite landowners built these farm houses in snowy, mountainous districts so the homes needed to provide warmth and shelter from the elements. The farm house all have thickly thatched roofs and earthen floors and the kitchen, bedrooms, dining and living areas have wooden floors. All the houses have fire pits of various sizes, depending on what they are cooking and sometimes the farm animals even lived in the same building with the families. The village also exhibited out buildings, restored granaries, a windmill, a tea house and a Kabuki theater. Keith spent about 30 minutes photographing a heron eating a bull frog in a small pond on the grounds.
After touring the farm houses, we rode the metro to central Osaka and the Osaka Castle Park. Peter located the exact subway stop for the park entrance, a beautiful location with 4500 cherry blossoms, 1250 Japanese plums, fountains, and flowering plants. We walked through the park for about 30 minutes across bridges crossing two moats and through the Ote gate to the famous Osaka Castle and museum. The original castle burned down many times throughout its history and Osaka restored the current version after 1947. After paying the admission fee, we decided to climb 7 stories to the observation tower, thereby avoiding the long lines for the elevator. Each floor supports a museum featuring the shogun Hideyoshi Toyotomi significant lifetime events including a full scale model of the Osaka castle as it looked in during the Toyotomi and Tokugawa periods. Also on display are samurai costumes, historical artifacts from the winter siege, and artifacts from the summer Battle of Shinzugatake. Another priceless treasure is an enormous screen which depicts the battle’s 3000 soldiers, hundreds of banners, weapons and horses, illustrating the battle’s ferocity. Sadly Hideyoshi Toyotomi died just a month before the battle so his son, anointed to lead the army, lost the battle to the Tokugawa shogunate in 1615. Soon after this momentous defeat, Hideyoshi’s son committed suicide. The castle’s 7th floor is dedicated to an observation deck with outstanding views of downtown Osaka in 4 directions.
Keith and Anne toured the Osaka Aquarium in the afternoon. We were treated to outstanding displays of sea life around the world, the most outstanding being a baby whale shark, but also admired rays, sharks, penguins, tropical fishes, coral reefs, sea turtles, kelp forests, sea otters, river otters, tuna, sea lions and seals-- just to name a few. More hundreds of photos!
Dinner again, in Dotombori and this time Keith treated everyone to Okonomiyaki, the Japanese pancake cooked on a hot steel grill and filled with pork, shrimp or octopus.

the 2013 models of the ford mustang feature a galloping horse projection
among a range of new technology and sport features, the 2013 ford mustang models feature an innovative add-on:
a small lamp, embedded under the side mirror, projects the iconic image of the mustang's galloping horse onto the ground below.
the projection occurs whenever the vehicle is unlocked. engineers worked through six or seven designs of the system
before reaching the current, production-ready model.
another innovative feature in the new models is a 4.2inch LCD screen, nestled between the vehicle's odometer and tachometer,
which tracks data related to fuel economy and performance. g forces and acceleration and braking times are recorded through
the 'track apps' program and can be navigated via a five-way control button on the steering wheel.

Olialia, the Lithuanian company planning to operate a resort in the Maldives exclusively staffed by blondes, claims to have shortlisted a handful of islands in the country to house its proposed platinum paradise as the group now faces the challenge of making the project a reality in a strictly Islamic nation.
Olialia executives traveled to Cannes in France last week to present the island of blondes concept to entrepreneurs at the concept during the Marché International des Professionnels d’Immobilier (MIPIM) 2011 real estate trade show.
Brand Manager Giedre Pukiene has claimed talks were held with 10 to 12 potential investors for the project as it finalises plans for its venture in the Maldives, including representatives of US property tycoon Donald Trump.
“All buildings will reflect the blondes’ spirit and world-view. Hotels, restaurants and service centres services will be provided by the best known world’s companies; we will soon start accepting applications,” stated Pukiene.
Olialia uses attractive blonde women to market an entire business empire including airliners, soft drinks, dairy products and publishing, under the adage that blondes not only have more fun, but also make more money for stockholders. It has now set its sights on operating a resort in the Maldives by 2015, run by its trademark platinum-topped staff.
As news of the “island of blondes” project has spread, the potential resort development has raised huge interest, and perhaps a few eyebrows, across international media – not to mention the local population, who are invariably dark-haired.
Speaking to Minivan News, the resort’s Project Manager Vilte Zukauskaite insisted that any concerns over the viability of a staff system based on hair colour in a country where labour laws require at least 50 percent employment of locals, would be overcome by Olialia and its partners.
This was an issue that could be dealt with practically, according to Zukauskaite.
“The resort is not so much a ‘blonde concept’ – although all the staff will be blonde, we will not necessarily make them wear wigs,” she said. “Non-blonde hair has to not be visible. So male staff could shave their heads. Hats or scarves that cover the head could also be worn.”
Tourist heads in the Maldives have confirmed that talks had been held with representatives from the blonde-focused company, and that proposals would be considered based on the effectiveness of the business plan, rather than its target audience or marketing.
However, the country’s Ministry of Arts, Tourism and Culture did stress that work laws requiring 50 percent local employment could be problematic.
But Zukauskaite explained that there were also opportunities for more ‘behind the scenes’ and less-visible roles for staff on the island that would allow the company to navigate legal requirements to ensure local staff were given opportunities at the site.
Zukauskaite said the company was now moving to finalise the company’s plans, and had identified “three or four” existing properties that could be bought and re-branded by the Lithuanian firm.
“At the moment the company is deciding on three options to develop the island; these included purchasing a virgin – undeveloped – mass of land, buy an existing resort and rebrand it, or create a man-made structure (such as a previously revealed high-heeled shoe design).
Photos of the proposed shoe development was met with consternation from several marine biologists working in the Maldives.
“I don’t know if I should laugh about it or cry about the degradation of human species,” said one, after seeing the images.
Zukauskaite said that while Olialia was yet to confirm its plans officially, “we believe the best and fastest route to getting the island would be re-branding an existing hotel,” she said.
Zukauskaite claimed that the “Island of Blondes” had been designed to be a unique business model, both on an international basis, as well as in the Maldives, where she claimed the focus on high-profile entertainment and cultural activities was limited.
The resort would develop many optional entertainment opportunities for its guests, Zukauskaite said, with plans for the resort to hold gallery exhibitions and performances from major international artists that she said would help spread the Maldives’ reputation as a luxury destination worldwide.
However, the project manager said that the ‘blonde-only’ policy for staff would not always dictate the type of acts performing there, and “formerly-blonde” superstars “such as Sting and Rod Stewart” would be free to perform on the island.
“Perhaps blonde can become grayer for a few days,” she added.
The Maldives’ tourism industry has always existed parallel to the country’s conservative and religious society, with the latter generally kept separate from the lucrative resort island business. Zukauskaite downplayed potential concerns that the blonde island could be seen by locals as an inappropriate development in the country. Like all of the country’s resorts, the “Island of Blondes” would be very separate from the legal and cultural regulations adopted on the country’s inhabited islands.
“It is a resort island, we’re not building it in Male’,” she said.
Olialia would, she said, act with respect for local traditions, and that she did not believe that local cultural traditions were a barrier.
“We shouldn’t call this a problem, we aim to treat the Maldives with all due respect,” she added.
Zukauskaite said that the company had already begun consulting with officials in the country and that it would be working alongside the owners of the resort it eventually picked to develop the “Island of Blondes” as its local partner.
Dr Mariyam Zulfa, Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, confirmed that she had held some meetings with representatives from Olialia about the project, but said that she had not been made aware of their more recent plans.
Like any tourism project bought to the Maldives, Dr Zulfa said the company would be required to ensure it met its obligations under the laws and regulations outlined by the labour, tourism and environmental ministries.
When asked by Minivan News if there were potential concerns that the Island of Blondes project would potentially offend local sensitivities, she responded that this was a media supposition and that the ministry was not in a position to dictate how companies marketed their products.
“The government has no role in determining the parameters of companies looking to invest in the Maldives,” she said. “If it is a good project with a viable business model we will welcome it. The only possible difficulty is that the local population are not blonde.”
Dr Zulfa suggested that this difficulty was an issue of uniform, and that had been addressed at a number of tourism properties.
If Olilia’s resort development eventually moves forward, Zukauskaite said the world would be hearing a lot more from the “Island of blondes” with an upcoming reality show set to be filmed from the island once construction was underway.
“The main aim we wanted to achieve in Cannes was to create a huge buzz for the project,” she added. “I think we have done that.”

It was a loss that no one really saw coming: Rep. Eric Cantor lost in the Virginia primaries. In response, the current House majority leader said he would step down from his post. This loss was a surprise to many who were following the race. Now, not only are conservatives working on replacing him, but there is also the question as to what this means for the future of immigration reform.
Cantor lost to tea party challenger, David Brat. Many believe that one of the reasons Brat beat Cantor was because Brat had gone after Cantor about his stance on immigration reform, even though Cantor was known for being unwilling to speak strongly on the issue, one way or the other. However, Brat said that Cantor was a “supporter of amnesty” for immigrants who are in the U.S. without documentation.
In the end, Cantor made one last statement about immigration reform. "My position on immigration has not changed. It didn't change from before the election, during the election, or the way it is today. You know, I have always said the system is broken, it needs reforms. I think it is much more desirable and frankly doable if we did it one step at a time, working towards where we have common ground and believe things in common," he said.
While Cantor, himself, called the loss “a personal setback,” it left many pro-immigration reform advocates wondering what to do next. President Obama has already commented on the issue, saying that he “fundamentally rejects the notion” that Cantor's loss means that “tackling immigration legislation is now out of reach.” Obama went on to say that “[i]t's interesting to listen to the pundits and the analysts, and some conventional wisdom talks about how the politics of immigration reform seem impossible now.”
With Cantor's loss, many feel that it will be harder to get anything done, this includes immigration reform legislation. John Feehery, a man who used to be a top Republican congressional aide, said the “defeat throws the GOP conference into chaos.”
Similarly, CNN senior political analyst David Gergen noted how surprising the loss was and went on to foreshadow the death of immigration reform. However, in contrast, Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), who is known to be a strong pro-immigration reform advocate, said that “[i]mmigration reform is not dead. It might just be moving to the White House for action if none comes from this House.”
Although Cantor was often hesitant to discuss immigration reform, he did publicly back “proposals giving Dreamers the chance to receive some type of legal status, however he voted against the broader Senate measure.” In a statement to CNN, Gutiérrez said that he “ignored the advice of every Republican pollster and tried to be wishy-washy on immigration.” This ultimately contributed to his downfall.
What are your thoughts on how this will affect immigration reform going forward? Does Cantor's loss mean an end to immigration reform talks and any proposed legislation in 2014? What does the future look like for immigration reform policy and procedure?

As part of our programme of work to deliver the provisions that we set out in our Children and Young Persons Bill, along with the wider measures proposed in the Care Matters White Paper, we will be revising and rewriting all extant Children Act guidance concerning local authority responsibilities for looked-after children. This process will involve revision of our 2002 guidance Children Missing from Care and Home—A Guide to Good Practice. As part of this revision, we are planning to include more information about safeguarding vulnerable groups such as potentially trafficked children.
The Care Matters White Paper implementation plan will be published shortly and will include information about the timetable for revising the Children Act guidance. The cross-government working group for young runaways which was launched in January will also contribute to the review of the missing from home and care guidance, with a particular focus on supporting local areas to deliver effective services for young people who run away from home or care.
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether there have been any developments in the cases of those children who disappeared whilst in the care of social services and are thought to have been trafficked, since the Home Office report published on 11 June 2007; and whether they have instigated any new preventive measures. [HL1780]
Information about outcomes of individual children is not collected centrally. If a looked-after child, who may have been trafficked, goes missing from their care placement, then the local authority responsible for the child's care and the provider of the care placement must follow the arrangements agreed with the police for managing missing from care incidents.
Government take this issue very seriously. In December 2007 my department and the Home Office published practice guidance on safeguarding children from trafficking, Working Together to Safeguard Children—Safeguarding Children Who May Have Been Trafficked. This guidance document is intended to help agencies and their staff to safeguard and promote the welfare of children who may have been trafficked. It is supplementary to, and should be used in conjunction with, the Government's statutory guidance Working Together to Safeguard Children (2006).
In January this year, the Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) published its plans on how it intends to improve outcomes for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC), including those that are suspected to have been trafficked. The plans include safe arrangements for trafficked children who claim asylum and later go missing from local authority care. On the same day BIA published its code of practice for keeping children safe from harm. The code also emphasises the need to identify trafficked children at risk of going missing and the appropriate action to safeguard them.

An Oregon Walmart has been ordered to pay up after a Portland-area man says he was racially profiled by a store officer, The Seattle Times reports.
A jury in Multnomah County ruled in favor of Michael Mangum after he filed a lawsuit against Walmart alleging that he was harassed by a store officer for “shopping while Black.” The grocery store giant was ordered to pay $4.4 million in damages. Additionally, Mangum said he felt “disrespected and embarrassed” after a security officer at the Wood Village Walmart watched him and attempted to falsely accuse him of making threats before ultimately calling the police.
“When he said he’s going to call the police, I couldn’t believe it, because I hadn’t done anything,” said Mangum. “The only thing that was going through my mind was, ‘You have the right to be here.'” A recent state law in Oregon was put in motion thanks to the suit brought forth against the retail store. The legislation states that lawsuits can be filed against anyone who improperly calls law enforcement with the intent to discriminate or humiliate another person or to unlawfully ban them from property.
The law was led by State Rep. Janelle Bynum after a constituent called the authorities on her while she was canvassing in 2018. According to an attorney for Mangum, the verdict that was announced on Friday (Aug. 19) is believed to be the largest sum awarded by a jury in a racial discrimination case in Oregon history. “Walmart has no respect for the community. They have no respect for the rights of their customers, and they have no respect for the police,” said Greg Kafoury, the attorney for the 61-year-old Portland man. “The jurors, they awarded every nickel we asked for.”
A spokesperson for Walmart, Randy Hargrove, called the verdict “excessive” and said that it was not supported by evidence. “We do not tolerate discrimination,” he said. “We are reviewing our options including post-trial motions.”

Here are 5 additional Photography facts thats you will love:
- In 1940s Rapatronic Photographic technique was developed by Dr. Harold Edgerton. The technique was used for capturing the growth of fireball of early nuclear explosion and the cameras had exposure time of 10 nanoseconds. Multiple cameras (4 to 10) were set with each rapatronic camera taking just one photograph at different intervals to capture the growth of fireball.
- Today, the number of photographs clicked every two minutes is same as the number of photographs clicked by mankind in 1800s.
- The first every digital camera to be created was in December 1975. It was developed by an engineer in Kodak Company and took 23 seconds to create first photograph. The camera only recorded black and white photographs of 0.1 mega pixels. The camera weighed 8 pounds.
- A rare 1923 Leica went for 2.16 million euros ($2.8 million) at an auction in Vienna at the weekend, making it the most expensive camera ever sold, the auctioneer said.
- The most famous use of the Hasselblad camera perhaps was during the Apollo program missions when man first landed on the Moon. Almost all of the still photographs taken during these missions used modified Hasselblad cameras. The team had to leave around 12 cameras on the moon so that they could carry back the extra weight of lunar rock samples.


DEVELOPMENT BANKS have put the cost of damage caused by Boxing Day's tsunami in Sri Lanka at $998M, significantly lower the $3.4bn programme of works put forward by the Sri Lankan government.
A World Bank-led investigation has found that in many sectors, repair and reconstruction beyond that requiring immediate attention blurs with work required before the tsunami hit, or with projects needed to improve Sri Lanka's economy.
Sri Lanka's own plan includes many schemes proposed before the tsunami hit.
The joint World Bank, Japan Bank for International Co-operation and Asian Development Bank investigation put the cost of lost or damaged housing at $340M, roads at $60M, water and sanitation at $41M, railways at $15M and power at $10M.
Most of the 690km of national roads affected by the tsunami were already suffering from neglect and war damage, the report says. This represents 5% of the overall network.
In addition 1,500km of provincial and local roads were damaged, but less extensively as they typically branch off at right angles from the national roads which run along the coast.
The report warns of the need to 'consolidate temporary road and bridge repairs before the onset of the next monsoon season. If this is not done then there is a grave danger that further damage may occur and that temporary repairs may fails.' he report recommends that due to extensive seawater contamination of wells there should be a major push to connect communities to a piped water supply.

A delightful game! 5/5
Its fun, has a fantastic soundtrack, and it costs nothing to play. Watching your salmon flop his way to the top is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
There are ads, but not the kind that are always on the screen when you’re playing. They won’t bother you at all.
All other reviews are wrong 1/5
This game is Boring TerribleAnd Unoriginal please it sucks😡👎👎👎👎👇👇👇👇👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎🙎♂🙎♀🙎♀🙎♂🤦♂🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Great game 5/5
Jumping fish. Need I say more?
great game! 4/5
By Chucha !
the game is great and quirky and different the only thing i have against it is the CONTROLS. i’m just pressing randomly hoping i move upwards instead of somewhere else
Never before have I seen such fancy salmon, I am impressed 10/10 top quality salmon
Comical and good! 5/5
It’s simple nature makes it easy to understand and play.
By Al rails
Have you ever put salmon in your anal cavity to get past the guards well this is how this game hard at first but gets easier
App tricks you!! 🤬🤬🤬 1/5
By A N G E R E D
App tried to get me to accidentally buy their “ad-free” option even though I didn’t press the “ad-free” button. Happened twice and the first time I purchased their “ad-free” option. Don’t get this app cause it will try to trick you.
The Corporate Salmon 5/5
This salmon is a very talented salmon. The game is very fun, and lets you have fun watching a salmon dance around and try to climb an escalator. It’s so silly, salmon don’t climb escalators.
I need a refund Alex... 4/5
This is a really fun game! But, a purchase screen appeared randomly and it automatically purchased a $1.99 ad free mode. If it is possible could I get a refund for this? Thank you
Really? This game is terrible. Who wastes their time playing junk like this?
Silly and fun 5/5
I love this game because it’s just a goofy concept and easy to play. Fun enough for commuting and no brain power required.
One of the best games on IOS 5/5
I finished this in less than a day, and I love this game so much still! Try it, you won't regret it!
I love this game, I hope to see more games from the same developer in the future
I think this is pretty great
fish in suits so cute
This is the most realistic business Salmon game on the App Store! 5/5
I have always seen myself as a Salmon climbing the harsh stairs of life. If you want to really see what it is like to climb the corporate escalator as a salmon, then this game is for you. This game could not be more realistic. Dressing up your salmon as a hotdog and trying to flop to top of your corporation is literally the most rewarding feeling. 10/10. #Salmon #Business #Lit
So many ads. Like at least every twenty seconds. And it takes two clicks to get out of them. Fun game but holy moly too many ads.
Not that great 1/5
By AdN 16
Game was fun at first, but got old quick. No skill required really, just tapping. Also sometimes when you finish a game instead of it asking you to play again it asks if you want the ad free version. You can easily press the wrong button believing you are hitting play again and pay for the app. Or if you are closing out the app with the home button you could mistakenly pay for the app which was what happened in my case. This is bad on the developers part as if they are attempting to trick you into buying it. Overall not a great experience. Would like my money back!
Stole my money 1/5
As much as I love this app I have to give it one star because it stole $3.00 of my money. And it was in a sneaky way already. When you die in the game you’re natural instinct is to hit the green checkmark to continue. However, every once in a while it will prompt you with a very similar message that says “remove ads” and I accidentally hit it (because of natural instinct) and then I pressed the home button right after to get out of the app and instantly read my fingerprint and removed the ads for $2.99 and at this point I’m thinking, okay no big deal, but then I started playing the app again a few hours later, and the ads were never removed!!! So now I’m down $3.00 for nothing. If the developer got rid of the remove ads prompt and maybe put it somewhere less malicious then I would recommend it to everyone. So yeah good app back intentions.
( ◠‿◠ ) 4/5
By add me in your butt
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) XD great game
Best game ever 5/5
This game is so funny I almost died
I love the game it was so much fun and it was a challenge but I love it plz make more levels though
Flop til you drop! 4/5
I’m in love with the quirky designs of the fish and how they flop around to climb the corporate fish ladder! The music is very enjoyable and fits the mood well. I very much appreciate how the promotion mechanic allows you to progress even if you can’t seem to chain good jumps very often- I think more app games should have a feature like this.
Not that this is a game that makes any attempt to be taken seriously, but the Wii Shop-esque soundtrack made it impossible to do so.
Better than any dumb click-only game has right to be 4/5
It’s pretty fun, best/most simple game I’ve played in quite some time.
Cool and fun but... 4/5
This app is very fun and addictive to the point where I beat it in like an hour. I really feel there should be a lot more added to this game ASAP because it gets boring real laying the same thing over and over again. Besides that great game.
this game is really funny lol.
Has 'flopped to the top' of my favorite games list 5/5
down with the man 5/5
Ridiculous and fun 4/5
I love that you can fail your way to a promotion.
Best Dumb Game Ever! 5/5
And I mean that in the nicest way possible, of course. It’s simple, clean, few ads that are tolerable and just a lot of dumb fun. It takes a little bit of strategy but it’s just the best time waster ever. I found myself playing this rather than doing my chores; guilty! Worth it, I say. Amazing job with this; I’ll be on the lookout for more by this developer.
Great game but. 1/5
The controls for he game movement of the character are not clear. I don’t know if I just simply tap or if I drag my finger.
8/10, would buy again 5/5
You guys really know how to make a fun game, kinda wish the music were a bit more “elevator’y” if you know what I mean...
Let me play my own music 3/5
I would give this game full stars if it only let me play my own music in the background. As it is, it shuts off my misic when I switch to the app whether I mute the game’s music and sound effects or don’t.
I should’ve been doing my English essay 5/5
By Willie will 777
So, sometimes I like to come into the app store to find new games (which I rarely ever download) and I usually like to aim for the arcade type games. My favorite kind of games are kind of like the 8bit types of games. This one hit into ballpark. It’s definitely addicting and just makes you want to “flop” to the top. When I found myself to have finished the game so quickly, it saddened me because I could see myself playing this for what I thought would be weeks. Nevertheless, it’s one of the best games I’ve played in a very long time. Well done, team.
Omg hilarious! 5/5
By Ryder f.
This is a really funny game! I can play this for hours without putting it down. And flopping salmon, 😂! But this has really good gameplay too!
Great game, get rid of ads 3/5
Like the game. Very light yet addicting. Problem is ads won’t go Away even after you paid for the app.
Silly and fun tap tap 5/5
A good game that’s just there to pass the time. Ads are very seldom and that’s quite appreciated when the norm for free games like this is to bombard you with ads. Looking forward to more content and fun! Hope the game does well for whoever made it!
So funny and addicting 5/5
Great game but danger it’s very addictive
For those who liked the movie Executive Koala! 5/5
Well, you are a flopping fish, flopping your way up the corporate ladder...
It is quite meta, and strangely addictive.
Pretty ok 3/5
The game was really fun in the beggining but as it went on it was pretty much all luck that determined wether you won or not. Good idea tho
BsT SelleaR 5/5

GaMe iS gOOd
GREAT GAME BUT... 4/5
By Sauhdjdjdnncmom ninjudndjj
Great game but I wish there were game modes like, challenge, hard, easy, or hardcore. If you add game modes I will rate it 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
I beat this game in like 3 or 4 days but it’s a good game. 5/5 would recommend
Swimming up the corporate escalator 5/5
By Corporate Nic
A soul-crushing allegory of early 21st century corporate life. You succeed and progress in the game by mindlessly flailing about with no guidance or instruction and are rewarded for reaching arbitrary milestones with tokens of arbitrary value, which can then be used to purchase minor cosmetic upgrades, which serve no actual purpose to the gameplay. Each completed level provides some fleeting sense of satisfaction of having reached that point, only to subject you to yet another level that is exactly the same, only moves slightly faster.
Stole my money 1/5
I tried to X out of an advertisement and the pay to disable ads function randomly popped up and immediately took my finger print without giving me a chance to cancel or decline. I would like a refund because this is unfair and cheating the players. I could not find an email to contact either so I believe this is extreme dishonesty on the developers part
THE OTHER FISH ARGGHH! 3/5
By Super man 13579111315
As the title says I hate the other fish they always get in my way and I know that’s the point of them but most of the time there’s no way I can get out of the way of them. It just makes it so unfair to the player when they have a perfect streak going and then one fish comes along and ruins it all. Even one time they made it where I went over the finish line and it counted as me not making even though I crossed it. I just think u should take them out of the game completely.
LOVED IT SO MUCH

Capillary electrophoresis for monitoring bioprocesses
journal contributionposted on 2023-05-17, 18:37 authored by Alhusban, AA, Michael BreadmoreMichael Breadmore, Rosanne Guijt
Chemical characterization and monitoring of fermentation broths and cell culture media provide significant information on the changes occurring within these complex and dynamic systems. Analytical methods based on CE in capillaries and microchips are attractive for integration in instrumental tools to obtain this critical data, improving the understanding and control of bioprocesses. In this review, the use of CE for chemical characterization and monitoring fermentations is discussed, organized by analyte class, including organic acids, pharmaceuticals, proteins, sugars, amino acids, and metabolites published between 1992 and October 2012. A section is dedicated to the roles CE plays throughout the wine making process, where applications range from characterization and increase in fundamental understanding of the fermentation to forensic applications, verifying the authenticity of the wine.

My son seems to have a lot of fun riding this skateboard. He will be out there doing tricks for hours. One evening when he took a break, I decided to see if I could still ride. When I took off down the driveway, I could feel how smoothly the wheels rolled. I used to have to pay extra for wheels like this when I was his age. Lost in thought, I coasted faster, and my neighbour didn't see me when I shot out of the driveway. Even though this thing flew several feet in the air, bounced, and came to rest more than 20 feet away, it had no visible damage! Not so for me. I loved the skateboard, but am now recovering from two broken ribs, torn neck cartilage, and a cracked pelvis. Still, this board rides like a dream!
Ollie 180: an Ollie where the skateboarder and the skateboard spins 180 degrees after leaving the ground. Both the skateboarder and the skateboard rotate in the same direction (Frontside or Backside) with the skateboarder's feet sticking to the skateboard. This trick is usually referred to as a frontside or backside 180, or less frequently and more popular with older skateboarders and/or when performed on a bank/quarterpipe, a frontside / backside ollie
The type of skating the rider wants to do will inform the board choice, which sometimes involves skating a non-popsicle shaped board. But if you are just starting out, you can simply start with the traditional popsicle shaped deck that you probably recognize. As you skate more and get to know what shapes you like or what kind of skateboarding you enjoy best, your decisions will take into account for company, shape, width, and style of riding. Until then, choosing a board by its graphic is totally acceptable. For an overview on types of skateboard decks and riding styles, check out our Skateboard Decks Section in our Buyer’s Guide. Once you find a deck you like, you can simply select the default wheels, trucks, bearings and grip tape or you have the option to make it a complete.
The laws for skateboarding helmets vary from state to state. Many states require that skaters wear a helmet under a certain age, and some states like California make all skaters under 18 wear a CPSC Certified helmet at all times. CSPC skateboard helmets usually have an EPS protective liner that meets the safety standards for skateboarding. Make sure you check your state's regulations before ordering.
This ollie is commonly referred to as an “Ollie Nosebone.” First of all, you need good ollie skills. The key for this ollie is your front foot. When you reach the peak, (gently!) push your front foot forward not moving any other part of your body. That’s it, simple yet difficult. Of utmost importance is practicing your regular ollie over and over in various conditions so that extension tricks such as the ‘nosebone’ come almost naturally with experimentation. Nevertheless, here is a movie explaining how to do it.
To summarize, a skateboarder's feet need to do two things successfully to complete an ollie. They need to provide a changing force to move the board correctly (so that the combined force of gravity and the skater's feet add up to the green arrows above), and they need to provide different amounts of force with each foot (shown by the red and blue arrows above) to steer and turn the board into the right orientation.
There are other types of ollies that you can do either alongside or combine with the ones listed above, like the tailgrab, indy grab, melon grab, stalefish, tweak, and dolphin nose. All of those skateboard tricks are performed more or less how they sound, but you might want to watch some videos on youtube to see a pro in action (as well as awesome cat videos).
If you’re looking for complete skateboards that are ready to go, then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got a great range of boards that you can ride right away, and with our next day delivery service, you’ll have your board before you know it. Browse our great selection, which includes iconic brands such as Flip, and an incredible range of colourful Penny boards and deck graphics. With so many to choose from, we’re confident you’ll find the complete skateboard you’re looking for. Buy online today and benefit for our speedy service.
Low ollies: This can happen for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one is that you are not crouching low enough before your ollie, and not pulling your feet high enough after you jump. When you crouch down, try and touch the ground. When you jump, try to hit yourself in the chest with your knees. Both knees. Don’t worry about falling. That will happen sometimes – that’s just part of skateboarding! For more help, read the How Can I Make My Ollies Higher? FAQ
I’ve been skating for about 3-4 years, I can kickflip, pop shuv it, front shuv, 180 and almost heelflips. I can ollie and used to be very good at them and could get them clean, but when I started practicing kickflips, it made my slide all weird. I can still ollie ( though it’s not as clean) but now when I ollie I slide with my pinky toe and that region, instead of the side of my foot. How can I fix my slide? When I try practicing sliding with the side of my foot, it doesnt feel like I can turn my foot that far towards the board and when I do it slowly to see what im doing, i still slide with my toes.Thank you.
This board is an excellent option for beginners because of its simplicity and durability. The lightly concave design allows for simple turns but doesn’t require the rider to be an excellent navigator. You can start off riding this deck down the street and use it as you learn ollies, kickflips and how to drop in to a half pipe. It will withstand it all and look good doing it.

The rider begins the ollie by crouching and jumping directly upward. As the rider begins to leap, instead of lifting the feet from the board, he/she "pops" the tail by striking it against the ground, which raises the board nose-first. Maintaining contact with the board, the rider lifts the front leg and bends the front ankle so that the outer or top side of the shoe slides towards the nose of the board. The friction between the shoe and the board's grip tape helps to guide and pull the board upward, while the rear foot only maintains slight contact with board to help guide it. When nearing the peak of the jump, the rider lifts the rear leg and pushes the front foot forward, which levels the board and keeps it in contact with the back foot.
Bought as a Christmas gift for our nephew. He's not an expert or anything so I was looking for something that would work while he gets used to riding one. When I received it I pulled it out of the package to check it out and the construction was good. The wheels spun smoothly and the grip tape was nicely put on. I don't know how it would resist to some board slides but for a 15 year old just starting out its a good board.
The Fakie is almost the same thing as a regular ollie-pop, but instead of going forward, the skater is going backwards when they pop the board up in the air, usually performed when you’re in a switch stance. A switch stance is when your feet are in the opposite stance of how you normally would stand, like when you write with your left hand instead of your right (if you’re right-handed).

are not only designed to allow the baby to relax, but they also provide a safe environment for children. The mattresses are made from coconut elements and abstracts. They are non-toxic and chemical-free because most contain only organic cotton and foam. Other are filled with coconut husks or coir. Stokke mattresses are also ventilated and hand-made. All the mattresses have a comfortable cover so the baby can sleep contentedly. The interior and exterior of the Stokke crib mattresses provide maximum allergy prevention for growing infants and toddlers.
Stokke mattresses are intended for the cautious parent, and are developed with materials that offer safety features and characteristics. Unlike other mattresses, Stokke crib mattresses focus on the baby's comfort as well as a healthful environment.
After the early months of their lives, most children play anywhere they can get the chance. The Stokke crib mattresses are delightful for naps and long periods of rest, but they are also comfortable for children to play on. In addition, growing babies often stand up in their cribs before they have much balance. The firm and durable mattress is soft and provides a safe falling surface for children. The depth of the mattress provides safety, and is not too hard for infants or toddlers.
The Stokke crib mattress is distributed by a family-run business established in 1932. Ergonomics and functionality inspire a variety of unique products designed to keep babies healthy. The popularity of these mattresses attracts families who believe in taking precautions and relying on natural comfort. The mattress was developed over time with the demand for organic ergonomics.

En espanol | If you’ve got fallen for a U.S. Army “captain” through an on-line dating internet site, staying informed: That policeman could be no gentleman.
Many instances each and every day, ladies here and overseas complain about are conned by con artists posing as U.S. solution members, according to the U.S. Army offender researching Command.
“We practically have countless telephone calls, every day, globally,” spokesman Chris gray claims.
Grey has created it a private crusade to signal the population regarding the on line frauds that are using people in uniform as bait to reel in females whom give over cash in the expression of prefer.
Many sufferers are generally women in the U.S., starting in generation from later part of the 30s to later part of the 1970’s, gray states, and a few are generally highly knowledgeable.
Usually a swindle datingrating.net/nl/heteroseksueel-daten begins with a scam musician robbing a website member’s brand and photos from several web sites on-line, and it also advances to seeking cash from the fake really love interests for certain phony, dire need.
Gray, 60, a retired aquatic master sergeant, claims he’s seen from subjects might missing $80,000 to $90,000 to this type of frauds and even applied for another home loan to foot the expenses for an impostor feigning absolutely love.
The most important loss he’s viewed included someone used for about $450,000.
“It’s heartbreaking paying attention to these tales,” he says.
“this type of person interested in romance and develop a vacant bank account and a faulty cardio.”
The 2,600-person demand gray acts is actually Quantico, Va., which investigates felonies in which military personnel is victims or criminals. Hence it does not have jurisdiction to examine the barrage of incoming contacts, because provider personnel will not be victimized beyond creating his or her name and pics misappropriated.
However, precisely what gray likens to a-game of whack-a-mole is now important for your since he battles the challenge through open degree and mass media outreach. His own department alerts online daters about what the illegal study order phone calls a “growing epidemic.”
“It’s challenging set a defined amounts on it,” gray claims, “but it is a booming company.”
As stated by Grey, there’s a simple step to prevent receiving swept off the feet by an army impostor: If you’re on a dating internet site or app with somebody proclaiming to put on this country’s uniform, inquire to become transferred a contact from his/her armed forces membership. It end perhaps not in .com or .org, however in .mil. “Privates to generals all need this emails,” gray says.
As poor actors try to make the most of girls all over the world — gray states he has known from sufferers in the uk, Japan, Australian Continent and Canada — they’ll frequently make an effort to get around the e-mail consult by concocting another bogus tale, he says.
“The attackers will say, ‘we can’t — I’m on a top-secret goal,’ or ‘I don’t need a personal computer,’ ” reported by gray. “They’ll create every defense capable.”
As an infantryman exactly who later on came to be a combat correspondent and presented in the 1st Gulf conflict, Grey understands best.
“Military members are actually cared for in a military services sector,” he says. “They get access to mailing. If they’re not on patrol or in a firefight, obtained use of cybercafes, Skype, and can correspond with their loved ones.”
Grey has become combating military-romance cons for around six a very long time. “I’ve already been cussed out repeatedly,” he says, explaining telephone calls from women who bring “waited in the airport for somebody that never turned up.”
Sometimes those who name the demand become family alarmed by internet entanglement involving her mommy or relative.
Cybercrooks also fabricate official-looking “military” documentation to help expand the company’s cons, typically attempting income or financial or personal information within the scam prey, Grey claims.

A koi carp with severe fluke infestation has lost body weight and hasreddening to the head, shoulder, ventral fin and tail base.
Gill flukes are a common parasite found in both fresh and saltwater aquariumfish. They prefer to attach to the gills but can also be found feeding onmucus and skin cells anywhere on the body. They use hooks to attach to fishand cause significant damage to the gills and skin through attachment sitesand their grazing activity. This damage can then allow bacteria to invade,resulting in a high death rate.
The flukes are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye, and requirevisualisation with the use of a microscope. They are flat worms that resembletiny leech-like creatures. Pictured is a single gill filament hosting two gillflukes (star). The paleness of the gill filament indicates the fish isanaemic. The flukes cause so much irritation that the mucus layer (arrows) hasgreatly expanded.
Fish that are infected may hide, become lethargic, have clamped fins, adecreased appetite, “rub” their bodies on surfaces, and have difficultybreathing or lose scales. Environmental conditions such as over-stocking,aggression, poor water quality and incorrect nutrition can lower the immunesystem’s ability to combat the infection.
Gill flukes have a direct life cycle, meaning they are contagious and spreadfrom one fish to another. In recirculating systems, with fish stocked at highdensities, the number of parasites can increase exponentially. It is a ticking“time bomb”.
The best way to avoid disease caused by gill flukes is by implementing aquarantine protocol. If gill flukes have been diagnosed, treatments caninclude: freshwater dips for marine fish or saltwater dips for freshwaterfish, praziquantel, formalin, trichlorfon or copper. Gill flukes lay eggs,which can be particularly resistant to treatment, so repeated treatments arerequired. Consult a fish veterinarian to help check whether you have flukes,and they can formulate the best method to control and eradicate flukes fromyour system before you have a disease outbreak.

Biswas, the affable likeable fellow who manages to get himself married to a girl from a Hindu family without much of an effort, except for a simple weak I-love-you note, has a life that could easily resemble that of a semi-educated African stuck between his motherland and his dreams of the west. Salim, as an Indian, has something of a unique perspective on the events of the time - in some ways, he lives between two worlds. Through this pitiful journey, amidst the manipulation of people around him, he holds on tightly to his principles and ideals; cluthcing to the thin thread of his identity, to his assumption that he, Mr. She outrages the long shirted, yielded Tulsi daughters by her unseemly short European dresses. He is, by instinct, a modern man. He lives in the Tulsi family which is the victim of hybridization in culture, language, education, life-style, identity and religion. The House Chairman maintains a positive relationship between the chapter, House Director and House Board.
This is a mixture of different or unlike things. Biswas descended from noble families and not from common rural nobodies. Biswas love of independence and from his faith in his own individuality but to a great extent from what he has already absorbed from an alien culture through his early experiences at school and elsewhere. This novel deals with two themes. Shuttled from one residence to another after the drowning death of his father, for which he is inadvertently responsible, Mr. He has joined as a Lecturer in the Department of English at Khwaja Yunus Ali University www. First edition cover Author Cover artist Stephen Russ Country Language English Genre Contemporary fiction Published 1961 Publisher Media type Print A House for Mr Biswas is a 1961 by , significant as Naipaul's first work to achieve acclaim worldwide.
Having lived at Hanuman house for many years, the Tulsi family moves to its estate in short hills and then they move to another house in Port of Spain. Culture: Unlike religion culture is never a fixed phenomenon. Religion: Apart from the religious hybridization practiced by the Tulsi there is the compromise made by Shekhar in the matter of his marriage. For establishing its facts and arguments, the research paper has used the text of V.

The House of Greenvale presents the unfulfilled condition of his dream. Naipau the House of Mr. Language: Language is the area where hybridity occurs rather naturally, because it becomes the medium through which a hierarchical structure of power is perpetuated one of the main features of imperial oppression is control over language.

The next chapter describes the circumstances in which Mr. Fragmentation, alienation, and exile are common terms associated with postcolonial literature.
Biswas tragic Hindu life starts when he was a mere child. He hurried outside to empty his mouth and clean it, but the taste remained.

Cudjoe's analysis is grounded in contemporary literary theory, an understanding of Hinduism, and a thorough knowledge of West Indian literature and history. Through cultural preservation groups, Trinidadians of Indian descent maintain at least some of their customs and rites. Conclusion: Among the issues employed in this novel is the problem of geographical uprooting of people and the result of cultural hybridization by a new and alien one. Biswas enemy , who are mostly is relatives are largely unlikable , but they also have admirable moments. The impact of hybridity cannot be avoided.
Biswas, with his seemingly uncommon figure, will eat up his parents. Tuttle buying a car and transporting the children to their schools in port of Spain by that car. Tulsi as her husband accident. Most of the time, the results of his techniques are effective, but it seems like he is questioned if his method is full proof. He objects to having a wife chosen for him in the traditional way and threatens to commit suicide if he is compelled compromises with a rich Presbyterian wife of Indian origin. Naipaul also drawn simple elements form the life of his father and he also potrayed the struggle faced by him.
The novel displays the struggle for identity of an Indian person residing in Trinidad. For example, we cannot think of a day without taxing a cup of a tea. The forces of westernization and urbanization unsettle the mornings of Hinduism in Trinidad. Biswas typifies his longing for freedom, social and family respect and acceptance that constitute his 40 year struggle to gain his own identity. In this time, he becomes the father of three children.

See how Osama bin Laden's journey unfolds; from his roots as a privileged young Saudi boy to becoming the formidable leader of al-Qaeda, and his lifetime commitment to violent jihad against the West, which results in the horrific attacks in 2001.
2015 • History
Francois Duvalier trained as a medical doctor, but his healing touch was lost as he became the ruthless dictator "Papa Doc". The tools of his tyranny were violence and Voodoo. He killed 30,000 people, and kept a nation in fear of his mystical powers.
2015 • History
Since the end of the 19th century, Indochina has been a flourishing colony, the gem of the French Empire. However, the Second World War turns everything upside down. At the end of the war, the Viet Minh movement announces its independence.
February 24, 1956. During the Soviet Communist Party's twentieth Congress, Khrushchev stuns everyone by denouncing Stalin's crimes. Without denying the ideology, the USSR's new leader seeks to distance himself from his predecessor and open up to the outside world. "Mister K" is full of surprises. He drinks Pepsi with Nixon and insists on spending a day at Disneyland when he visits America... But behind this clown-like character, the "executioner of the Ukraine" hasn't gone soft. In 1956, he didn't hesitate to crush the uprising in Budapest in bloodshed. Now, he is preparing a co-existence with newly elected President Kennedy that will not be all peaceful: construction of the Berlin Wall, the Cuban missile crisis, and not forgetting the aid to Ho Chi Minh in the preparation of his new war for reunification... The Vietnam War is beginning. Kennedy tries to retaliate: in Vietnam, he sends military advisers to train the army of the south. And in Berlin, on June 26, 1963, he gave the famous speech of hope, declaring in front of an excited crowd: "Ich bin ein Berliner".
Historian Michael Wood looks back at the start of China's history from the creation legend to the first 3 recorded dynasties Xia, Shang and Zhou, to the unification of 7 states under Qin Shi Huang. The name China comes from this Qin Dynasty, although the Chinese people refer to themselves as The Han.
At the beginning of 1945, Berlin remains under the spell of the Nazi promise of salvation, an illusion at odds with the city’s daily reality. Every day there are bombing attacks, fires to be extinguished and corpses to be buried. Life goes on as the front lines of the war close in each day. Death comes for men, women, the old, the young, the National Socialists and the forced labourers. In April, the Red Army stands ready outside the city. In a time of uncertainty on the front lines, nobody has a clear view of what will happen. Civilians hiding, SS soldiers shooting deserters, and Red Army soldiers hoping to survive the final days of the war. As the war comes closer and closer to the metropolis, it returns everything to its roots, showing no mercy.
Humans have depended on fire for millennia, but do we fully understand the impact it has had on our diet? When our hunter-gatherer ancestors learned to harness this tool, it ignited a culinary and cerebral revolution believed to be one of the most important factors in our evolution.
A treasure map leads to the discovery of a lost fortress; a sacred altar is unearthed, revealing secrets of the legendary Maya Snake King uprising; Albert Lin travels to a remote jungle, where technology reveals evidence of a forgotten war.


text: The F-Fighter-1 was a very strange ship that was named after it's shape. The reason that it was shaped like a capital F was because it was built around a new Linear Propulsion-Rotary Engine that was wide, yet thin. Also, the exaust port nessicary was huge. Eventually, however, Deron War Craft realized all the fuss was unnessicary, and the F-Fighter-2 was produced, using a more standard looking body, as well as being much more effective in combat. After a number of tests were completed, the sole "Dash 1" that was built was sent to Deron's Ship History Museum.

On Road is working with a team of fantastic creatives and experts to bring the Clear Lines Festival to life. It’s part of our work on Sexual Abuse and the Media.
It’s time to talk about sexual assault – and we’ve found a brilliant way to do it at a 4 day festival of discussion, music and art this summer. Every hour, the equivalent of one man and over ten women are raped in England and Wales. One in five girls and one in twelve boys will be sexually abused. So many of us are affected by sexual assault, and because it’s so difficult to talk about, we’re missing opportunities to get together and tackle the problem.
The Clear Lines Festival will bring together comedians, performers, journalists, writers, visual artists, musicians, cartoonists, psychologists, activists, therapists, and the public in a vibrant, funny, very human exploration of themes around sexual abuse, sexual violence, and consent.
It’s the UK’s first-ever festival of this kind, and we have an ambitious and exciting programme. A wide range of performances, workshops and panel discussions will explore creativity both as a therapeutic response and as an agent of change. Everyone is welcome to attend. Most events will be free and open to the public.
Clear Lines has a clear philosophy – we want to the replace shame and silence usually associated with this issue, with insight, understanding and community. Whoever you are, your voice and opinion count. Let’s get together to have the conversations that don’t always happen, and find our way of creating change.
The Co-Founders of the Clear Lines Festival:
Dr Nina Burrowes is a psychologist and researcher specialising in the psychology of sexual abuse. She works closely with the Crown Prosecution Service and Police forces throughout the UK providing specialist training on sexual abuse. She is the author of ‘The courage to be me’ an illustrated book for survivors of abuse, ‘Eyes open to sexual abuse. What every parent needs to know’ and the creator of the online video series ‘Sexual abuse. The questions you’ve never had the chance to ask’
Winnie M Li is a writer and producer, who has worked in the creative industries on three continents. As Head of Development at Ugly Duckling Films, she worked on six feature films and an Oscar-nominated® short, and later programmed for the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. She writes across a variety of formats, often about rape, and will soon begin her PhD at the London School of Economics on an ESRC grant, researching the impact of digital media on the public discourse about rape. Winnie is finishing her debut novel, Dark Chapter, which is partly inspired by her own assault. It is currently shortlisted for the Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger. http://winniemli.com
Nathalie runs the not-for-profit On Road, which tackles social problems by improving media coverage of misrepresented groups and issues.
On Road is currently looking at ways to improve the media’s coverage of sexual abuse and Nathalie will be organising a panel of journalists on Friday evening to tackle this issue.
Dr. Red Chidgey
Red Chidgey is Lecturer in Gender and Media at King’s College London. Her current research examines the current turn to creativity and entrepreneurialism in anti-rape initiatives, and she has extensive experience in organizing community-based events, including ZineFest! at The Women’s Library, London, and the five-day arts, music and activism festival, Ladyfest Brighton.
Katherine O’Brien worked in Parliament for three different MPs, and currently serves as media manager for the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, a sexual health charity working to change the way women’s reproductive choices are portrayed in the media.

Airliner freighter conversion programmes have been launched by Lockheed Martin and DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (Dasa) Airbus, as rivalry continues between Dasa and fellow Airbus partner British Aerospace on an integrated conversion strategy.
Lockheed Martin has revived the L-1011 TriStar conversion and has agreed to use Marshall Aerospace's supplemental type certificate (STC) for a new US-based modification programme. Dasa Airbus will start commercial freighter conversions of the A310-300 next year. The deals were announced at the Cargo Facts '99 conference in Seattle on 7 October.
The TriStar deal comes as part of the US manufacturer's efforts to enhance the longer-term prospects for the widebody tri-jet, which is supported by a Lockheed Martin/Rolls-Royce-led consortium, the TriStar Alliance (Flight International, 21-27 July)
The newly created London-based leasing specialist is acquiring an initial batch of 13 L-1011-1s from Delta Air Lines, which Lockheed Martin will begin converting in December at its Greenville, South Carolina, facility. The deal could be extended to include up to 40 ex-Delta TriStars.
The first aircraft, designated L-1011-40, will be completed and available for delivery next July, offering a payload of 34,000kg (75,000lb). Doors for the converted aircraft will be produced by Lockheed Martin's plant in Cordoba, Argentina.
Dasa Airbus, which offers an A300B4 and A310-200 conversion, will begin work in Dresden on its first A310-300 for a commercial client in mid-2000. An STC is expected by the end of the year.
Until now, the company has concentrated on the shorter range A310-200, with 39 aircraft converted, all for FedEx. Six A310-300s have been modified for the German and Canadian armed forces. Dasa declines to identify the first civil customer, although industry sources suggest Lufthansa Cargo is a candidate.
Meanwhile, BAe Aviation Services (BAeAS) managing director Cliff Duke says that, although there have been talks about linking its rival A300B4 conversion programme with Dasa, the two are not in merger discussions.
Duke says BAeAS has begun serious pre-launch activities to achieve an A300-600 STC, which it intends to undertake independently of Dasa. The programme is being prepared in anticipation of demand from around 2003. Dasa says it is not working on an A300-600 programme.

In a challenge to Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), a former ally of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has formally commenced the procedure to launch his own political party to.
Ali Babacan says the country needs a “fresh start” to bring about reforms to boost the rule of law and democracy.
The 52-year-old made the announcement in an interview with Turkey’s Fox TV on Monday morning, saying he would apply to establish his long-awaited new political party later in the day and formally launch it on Wednesday.
The Turkish politician, who has been the country’s economy minister (2002 - 2007), foreign minister (2007 - 2009) and deputy prime minister (2009 -2015), co-founded the AK Party in 2001 but in 2015 was sidelined from the party.
In August last year, he announced his resignation, a month after he had said he would do so due to the “deep differences” he had with the party’s direction.
“The country needs to completely start anew. In its time, the AKP was the fresh start. I served well for years, but 20 years has passed, the world has changed, Turkey has changed. The party has drifted far from its founding principles,” Babacan said.
When the AKP was founded, Turkey was weary from a decade of fragile coalition governments that had presided over heavy fighting, throughout the 1990s, with militants of the now-outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) that have been seeking independence since 1984.
The ruling party, led by Erdogan, has long been under fire from human rights groups and opposition politicians for trampling on basic freedoms, jailing critics, and undermining democracy, particularly since a failed 2016 military coup that triggered a never-ending crackdown on dissidents, and perceived putschists and sympathizers.
So far, about 80,000 people have been jailed pending trial and some 150,000 civil servants, military personnel, and others sacked or suspended from their jobs.
Furthermore, the country’s poor economic performance since a 2018 currency crisis has helped decrease support for the incumbent president and its party.
“There is a powerful need to create a more prosperous and livable Turkey and this is not possible with the current political order,” Babacan further said, emphasizing on the importance of democracy, rule of law and human rights.
On Monday, Babacan’s supporters submitted an official request to the Turkish Interior Ministry to establish the new party, whose name will be confirmed at an event on Wednesday.
“We want a country in which people are able to breathe freely and without fear,” Babacan also said.
“We need freedom. People aren’t able to talk about problems in Turkey. It isn’t just that journalists are in prison, some are in solitary confinement.”
Late last year, another one-time close ally of Erdogan, former Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, established the Future Party to challenge the AKP.
However, it seems that the AKP does not perceive these new parties as real threats, at least until now.
Last month, a survey by pollster Metropoll showed limited support for Erdogan’s emerging political rivals. It put support for the Future Party at 1.2 percent and for Babacan’s to-be-established party at 0.8 percent, while it put the AKP support at 40 percent, which shows a decrease from 42.6 percent at a 2018 general election.
