About the local area
Carcassonne has been the backdrop to a number of films such as 'Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves' and is the setting for 'Labyrinthe' the successful novel by Kate Mosse. The medieval city is indeed a fairy tale location with lots to see and do, with festivals in July and August each year, concerts by top stars, and a fabulous firework display on Bastille Day, the 14th July. In December, in the Bastide St Louis, there's a great Christmas market. The Canal du Midi also passes through the town offering the opportunity for walks or a boat trip on this fascinating waterway built in the mid-1600's.
The bastide area of Carcassonne is full of interesting architecture and is rich in history dating from the 13th century. Just relax and have a coffee or a glass of wine in the sun-drenched main square enjoying the French art de vivre.
Activities: You can swim in the public outdoor swimming pool open in the summer months - it's just a short walk away. There's also the 'Lac de la Cavayere', a lake with a beach that's safe for swimming and nature reserve - it takes approximately 10-15 minutes by bus to get there. Strolling or cycling along the Canal du Midi watching the boats pass by is very enjoyable. Carcassonne also has a golf course if you fancy a round of golf.
Sightseeing: Your can certainly spend lots of time in the City itself visiting the Chateau Comtal, the ramparts, the Museums etc. If you are hiring a car, the Mediterranean beaches are less than 1 hour's drive away. They can also be reached by train to Narbonne and then by bus to the coastal resorts. In the region around Carcassonne you can also visit the Cathar castles, Rennes-le-Chateau, the medieval towns of Foix and Mirepoix, the giant caves at Cabrespine and Limousis, the Montagne Noir, and area of outstanding natural beauty, and the fantastic African nature reserve at Sigean.
Market: Carcassonne has a great market, full of colourful, local produce in Place Carnot on a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Restaurants: There are many in the city to suit all budgets and tastes. Joie de Vivre can make some recommendations for you.
Supermarket and Shopping: The local supermarket is a 5-minute drive away and, for the ladies, both the bastide area of Carcasonne and the medieval city have some lovely, interesting and individual shops.

Simoncelli died of chest, head and neck injuries after he lost control of his Honda during Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix and swerved across the track, straight into the path of American rider Colin Edwards and seven-time world champion Valentino Rossi of Italy.
Behind Simoncelli's body were placed two motorcycles - one that he won the 250cc championship with in 2008 and another that he rode this season.
Simoncelli, who was 24, was a rising star in the sport and with his trademark mop of curly hair was beloved by Italy's legions of motorcycle racing fans.
The Italian's funeral, a private affair for family and friends, is planned for Thursday at the Santa Maria church in Coriano.
Authorities have asked fans to stay off the roads, claiming the town will not be able to cope with the number of mourners expected to descend on Coriano.
Speaking to the La Gazzetta dello Sport, Simoncelli's father Paolo expressed his gratitude for all the attention his son's death has generated.
"I'm happy that you're here because the hardest moment will be Thursday night when everything's finished and we're left on our own," he told journalists.
"Thank-you to everyone and I'm not just saying that.
"To say that I'm delighted with the way the world has reacted would be stupid but we hadn't realised how important Marco was to people.
"He was special, people understood he was honest. Marco was pure."

What Makes Turkish Cotton So Special?
Understanding the Uniqueness of Turkish Cotton
Are you curious about Turkish cotton, its production, and how it stands out from other types of cotton? Then read on as we debunk some of the common myths surrounding this exceptional cotton.
Best quality cotton is grown in temperate and humid areas where the periodic temperature difference is high. Turkey and Anatolia, one of the most favorable regions for cotton production, produces the highest quality cotton in the world. The most cotton cultivation in Turkey is in the Aegean Region and Southeastern Anatolia Region. Turkish cotton is divided into classes in itself, with the highest quality cotton grown in the Aegean region.
Here's some information on cotton production in Turkey and worldwide consumption:
- Turkey produced approximately 656,000 tons of fiber cotton in the 2020/21 season, and holds a 40% share of the global organic cotton market. Check link for source of information.
- Worldwide, it's estimated that 24.6 million tons of fiber cotton were consumed in 2020/21. Check link for source of information.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation surrounding Turkish towels. To be considered a Turkish cotton towel, it must be produced with 100% Turkish cotton. Currently, many sellers are masquerading standart cotton, microfiber or polyester towels as Turkish towels, which is misleading for customers who are looking for authentic Turkish cotton towels.
If we want to specify briefly;
We explained with official figures; Turkish cotton with a limited number of production is impossible to have so much in the market. As we have given the reports of Türkiye and the world cotton consumption and production above. It is surprising that a cotton with a limited number of production is found in abundance in the market and even at the same prices as microphiber material.
Because the towel in Turkish-style is currently very popular, it is produced in many different countries in the world. Of course, the techniques and quality produced in Turkey make it indisputable Turkish production towels unbeatable. It is necessary to clarify something. Each towel can be done in Turkish-style.
However, a towel should be produced with 100 %Turkish cotton in order to be a Turkish cotton towel. But in order to have a 100% Turkish cotton towel, both should be produced in Turkey and Turkish cotton should be used.
It's surprising that Turkish cotton, which has limited production, is so readily available in the market at prices comparable to microfiber materials. Even in Turkey, it's difficult for locals to find and purchase authentic Turkish cotton due to its rarity and expense.
In summary, while Turkish-style towels may resemble authentic Turkish cotton towels, only towels made with 100% Turkish cotton and produced in Turkey can truly be classified as such. Be wary of sellers who claim to offer Turkish towels at a low cost, as authentic Turkish cotton is a rare and valuable commodity.
How to Identify Authentic Turkish Cotton Towels: A Guide
Understanding the Distinction Between Turkish Towels and Turkish-style Towels.
When it comes to buying Turkish cotton towels, it can be tricky to determine whether you're investing in the real deal. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:
- The techniques and quality produced in Turkey make Turkish towels unbeatable compared to other countries. However, it's crucial to note that each towel can be done in Turkish-style, but a towel should be produced with 100 %Turkish Cotton and Hand Masters to be considered a Turkish cotton towel.
- Be wary of low prices. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Authentic Turkish cotton towels are not cheap, and prices that are too low are an indication that the towel is not made with 100% Turkish cotton. (Pay attention to the price range. Authentic Turkish towels typically dont cost between $3 and $19.)
- Don't be fooled by high prices. Just because a towel is expensive and carries an organic certificate or brand name, it doesn't necessarily mean it's 100% Turkish cotton.
- Look for a reputable seller. To find the right seller, it's essential to buy products from companies with clear product descriptions and avoid purchasing products from international platforms. Instead, try private and sustainable companies' websites that sell authentic Turkish cotton towels.
How to understand that there is a towel Turkish cotton towel?
Although you don't have the opportunity to understand without using it, those who use a real Turkish cotton towel do not use any other towel again.
- You can identify a genuine Turkish towel by several features, such as softening over time, quick drying, and providing comfort when touching your body after a bath. Additionally, authentic Turkish cotton towels are durable and can last for decades.
- Choose natural, undyed cotton. If you take it from the naturally no painted, we prefer the natural one in Turkey. The smell of real cotton lasts for years and provides a great feeling. Authentic Turkish towels are also very durable and can last for decades.

The first season of Game Informer’s Video Gameography explores the history of the Metroid series. We’re knee-deep in the Prime era now, and we’re tackling Samus’ sophomore 3D outing, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
This sequel to the acclaimed Metroid Prime was released November 15, 2004 in the U.S. and upped the ante with Zelda-style dark world/light world exploration. Players traverse two versions of a labyrinthine map, solving puzzles that opened paths in the opposite dimension and enduring the damaging effects of the dark world. Samus faces off against Dark Samus for the first time, one of a series of challenging boss encounters that cemented Echoes as the most challenging entry in the Prime series – for better or worse.
Join hosts Ben Reeves (@BenjaminReeves), Marcus Stewart (@MarcusStewart7), and Nintendo Ambassadors/Metroid fanatics Ky and Kyle Parker (@CaptDangerous64, @admiralboogaloo) for the next hour as we explore Metroid Prime 2’s lore, development history, and lasting impact.

Most AEG upgrades such as scope, optics, laser...will work for the WA M4 series.
"Just got this gun in January '09, and it was a steal for this price. Once I found out it was this cheap, I actually drove over to the store at around 6 in the evening. Firstly, the blowback is amazing, sound is deafening, and power is around 300-310 fps on green gas. Love this gun, and the modifications I plan to get are even more expensive than the gun itself. Got to shoot it before I got it, and right away after three shots knew I had to get it. Must warm magazines, b4 you can shoot, or you will blow gas straight outta the valve, because magazine is frozen after filling up, or you will blow the magazine o-rings. Only real downside is cooldowns, which is a huge defect, and the cool downs are some of the worst I've had. All in all, a great GBB, if you're willing to disassemble it often and keep it clean and lubed.
-Good power (all it needs is a tight bore barrel and an enhanced loading nozzle)
-Built well, except the stock is wobbly (but it's plastic so that doesn't surprise me)
-Inexpensive (on Evike)
-Numerous upgrades available (Could be a downside, but for me good since I like to deck out my guns)
-Play of lower and upper receiver, if I'm correct, it is a little smaller, than a normal M4 when measured vertically
-MAJOR COOL DOWNS
-No trademarks (doesn't bother me, shouldn't bother you unless you plan to keep it stock)

Sushi-grade fish is caught in a short period of time, bled immediately upon catch, gutted immediately after, and cooled completely.

This will eliminate any parasites in the fish, rendering it safe for ingestion after a period of time.

Is farm raised salmon safe to eat raw?
Many people like to take it raw, however the debate remains as to whether or not this is truly safe to do. According to Healthline, yes, but not without risk. Even if you’re eating salmon that has just been caught in the ocean, the fish might still be contaminated with germs and parasites that have been absorbed from the surrounding environment.
Can salmon be eaten undercooked?

Is frozen ahi tuna OK for sushi preparation? The majority of ahi tuna used for sushi, including that served in fine dining establishments, has been previously frozen. Sushi-grade fish must have been frozen on the boat shortly after it was caught and cleaned in order to be termed sushi-grade. This is done in order to reduce the occurrence of parasites.
Can frozen salmon be eaten raw?

Can Costco salmon be used for sushi?
Is it, however, safe to consume? Is it ″sushi-grade,″ or is it something else? You can create sushi with certain Costco fish, to give you a quick and simple solution. We recommend reading our safe sushi guide for a more comprehensive solution to these queries.
Can you use sockeye salmon for sushi?
Sockeyes can be prepared in a variety of ways, including grilling, baking, steaming, smoking, and roasting. It can also be eaten raw, as sushi or sashimi, depending on the preparation. It has more calories than pink salmon, but less than farmed Atlantic salmon, according to the USDA. The fish is high in protein, which is essential for the growth and development of muscles and organs.
Is farm raised salmon parasite free?
It is true that in order to ensure that the fish is completely free of parasites, it is necessary to deep freeze it at temperatures considerably below those achievable by a consumer freezer. The risks of falling ill as a result of parasites from ingesting raw farmed salmon or tuna are, however, quite low, especially when it comes to practical considerations.

My dough didn’t double in two several hours (Although the kitchen area was pretty heat and my drinking water wasn’t far too heat), but I just went with it and it turned out wonderful.
I didn’t use as many potatoes, but now I do think I’ll have to present this a single a go, it appears to be like divine! Many thanks for clearing up the tactic for us. BTW – your inbound links to this article didn’t work from the e-mail — it saved opening up a web site that said about : blank. Strange!
Laura — I like this by using a eco-friendly salad, or roasted asparagus or in essence whichever vegetable looks very good to you personally right this moment. Imagine it since the bread percentage of your meal, but bread deserving of staying a centerpiece.
It was swoon-capable. I have manufactured versions persistently, often with slightly very first layer of a small bit of fontina. In some cases with some small cubes of pancetta, fried a little 1st. Often I finely chop the rosemary and help save fifty percent of it for in the event the pizza arrives out on the oven. Sometimes some dried red pepper. But normally it comes back again towards the potatoes. And isn’t it so Wonderful that a lot of “porta through” pizzas in Rome do not need tomatoes?
Roll out your dough. Area it over a baking tray lined with baking paper. Major with pizza sauce of the selection (I suggest to put a little bit over that you are used to for the extra little bit of taste), cooked sliced potatoes and complete off with diced onion.
I should confess I wasn't arranging on earning a vegan helpful pizza! It type of happened! The thing is like many other pizza lovers I couldn’t consider a pizza without cheese.
In a sizable mixing bowl, include sweet potatoes, and utilize a hand combination to whip the sweet potatoes right up until These are smooth.
Because it's blazing hot right this moment, I baked it in my toaster oven. The main bake was accomplished in twenty five minutes, and it wound up crispy on the skin and tender/creamy inside. So yummy! This is certainly such an even better option to gluten absolutely free pizza crusts built with grain flours. Thanks Laura, for such a delicious recipe! I'm surely intending to test some a lot more of yours!
I love to use my click here fingers (dipped into drinking water initially) to condition the sting right into a crust shape, but This is certainly optional. The pizza will style wonderful Even though you don’t make an effort to produce the right crust!
Just built this pizza. I haven't experienced any in ages and it really strike the place (and I'm stuffed!) This will certainly be a breakfast, lunch and dinner meal from now ostuffed did not have the Italian seasoning, so I employed one/2tsp of the two garlic and onion powder, but it surely almost certainly could use a bit much more.

Really like The brand new glimpse or Feel we’ve missed the mark? We want to listen to your views – great and bad – to make certain we make the new website as practical as possible.
I topped this pizza that has a chunky olive distribute (I used to be aiming to help make an olive tapenade but didn’t have sufficient olives, so it turned out chunky…nevertheless delish although), capiscums, avocado and basil. So so tasty!
You can make this pizza while in the oven or over the grill. I not too long ago uncovered the idea of earning do-it-yourself pizza in a very Forged iron pan and will I just declare that this method generated and incredibly crispy crust? I have experimented with pizza stones and by no means acquired the crust as crispy as it absolutely was With all the Forged iron pan.


While Citroën was busy in the early 1930s creating the Traction Avant and the TPV (Très Petite Voiture (very small car) that would eventually become the 2CV), one inventor in England was working on an automobile that even Citroën engineers would find weird. Dr. J. H. Purves set out to build the car of the future having just one wheel! That wheel, in fact, was the entire car.
The Dynasphere, as he called it, offered a cabin within the circumference of the wheel for the driver and passenger to sit. The June 1932 issue of Modern Mechanics explained how it worked:
“Inside the wheel, on either side, tracks run completely around. The motor is geared to the track so that, when the engine is started, the motor pulls the track toward it and so starts the wheel in motion. Center of gravity is low to prevent the wheel from tipping over.
The weight of the motor and driver is sufficient to keep them always parallel with the ground—if the driving apparatus were sufficiently light, the motor might conceivably climb up the geared track instead of pulling it and the attached wheel around.
Speeds of thirty miles an hour, with two occupying the seat, have been comfortably attained. The lattice-work in front of the driver’s eyes disappears when the wheel is in motion, flashing past so rapidly that he has a good view of the road he is traveling.”
Purves made at least three prototypes. The larger one featured a gasoline motor capable of 2.5-horsepower — enough to propel the thousand-pound wheel. The smaller prototype ran on electricity. (Purves was a true futurist!)
Watch the Dynasphere in action below:
Steering and braking were not its strongest virtues. Nor were forward visibility or the ability to shield its occupants from the elements. Another aspect of the vehicle that received criticism was the phenomenon of “gerbiling”—the tendency when accelerating or braking the vehicle for the independent housing holding the driver within the monowheel to spin within the moving structure.
In 1935, Purves developed an enclosed bus version to hold more passengers.
And you thought Citroën designers and engineers at the Bureau d’Etudes were far out in their thinking!


Th3rdshift, LLC was founded to develop app based solutions using beacon technologies. RaceRadar is the current product under development. RaceRadar is a system that delivers precision data to runners, spectators and race organizers for organized races. Athletes wear beacons that can be detected by the mobile app. The mobile app detects the beacons and uses its GPS location as a proxy for the GPS location of the runner. The location is reported in near-real time to other users via our cloud system. The app will also alert the user in real time when their phone detects the Bluetooth signal from a runner that they are following so that they don’t miss an opportunity to cheer.

A Survey of Developments in Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine by the Regional Specialists of RFE/RL's Newsline Team
A VARIETY, EVEN IF SMALL. The Main Statistics Office (GUS) published the results of Poland's 2002 national census on its official website (http://www.stat.gov.pl) on 16 June. The census, conducted between 21 May and 8 June 2002, was the first one in postcommunist Poland and, in addition, the first one in Poland after World War II to include a question about ethnicity (narodowosc) of inhabitants. The GUS provided the following definition of ethnicity in the census questionnaire: "Ethnicity is a declarative (based on a subjective sentiment) individual trait of every person that expresses his/her emotional, cultural, or genealogical (because of the parents' background) linkage to a certain nation."
The census found that Poland's population totaled 38.23 million, including 96.74 percent Poles (36.98 million), 1.23 percent individuals who declared other ethnicity than Polish (471,500), and 2.03 percent individuals who did not declare any ethnicity (774,900). Assuming that the overwhelming majority of the people who failed to determine their ethnicity were of non-Polish origin (reasons for such an assumption are mentioned below), the census confirmed the estimates widely accepted in the precensus period that Poland's minorities account for roughly 3 percent of the total population.
As to why some people might choose not to disclose their ethnic origin (if it is different than Polish), there were various suppositions voiced by national-minority activists in Poland before the census (see "RFE/RL Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine Report," 5 March 2002). In general, however, those activists argued that non-Poles would be afraid to declare their true ethnicity in the census for fear that their Polish acquaintances or neighbors might subsequently discriminate against them and their relatives in the office or at school. Needless to say, the advancing cultural and linguistic assimilation of minority groups and individuals in the Polish surroundings could also hamper the task of unambiguous ethnic self-identification for many people whose ancestors once belonged to non-Polish groups.
The breakdown of the census figures into individual minorities brought considerable surprises for statisticians and minority communities alike. It turned out that the largest minority group in Poland are Silesians -- 173,200 people declared this ethnicity to census takers. It was the first time that such a minority group was officially registered. GUS statisticians are apparently in doubt whether Silesians can be treated on a par with other ethnic groups in Poland (with Germans or Belarusians, for example), since they tend to avoid referring to Silesians as "narodowosc," using the term "spolecznosc" (community) instead.
In a comment to "Gazeta Wyborcza" on 17 June, ethnographer Dorota Simonides (born in Katowice, Silesia) said the census figure regarding Poland's Silesians reflects social rather than ethnic identification of some people living in Silesia, a heavily industrialized, coal-mining region in southern Poland. "I think it is a protest against the lack of interest in Silesia on the part of the government, against unemployment and the closure of coal mines," Simonides added.
But Arkadiusz Wuwer, a lecturer at the Theological Faculty of Silesian University in Katowice, told "Gazeta Wyborcza" a different story: "I regard myself as a Silesian not in spite of Poland or Germany but because it is my way of determining my identity. I have always thought that we move among stereotypes imposed by history, not realizing that in the times of pluralism we need to think in categories that are far from nationalism. It is possible to be a Silesian of Polish culture, but [it is also possible to be] a Silesian of German culture.... People understand this, and during the census they found the courage in themselves to say who they are. It is a consequence of the freedom in which we have been living since 1989."
Germans in Poland -- 152,900 people, according to the census -- constitute the second-largest minority group. The relevant figures for Belarusians (48,700) and Ukrainians (31,000) are far below the estimates that were typically cited by minority activists before the 2002 census -- 150,000-200,000 and 200,000-300,000, respectively.
However, Eugeniusz Wappa, head of the Belarusian Union (a minority organization of Polish Belarusians), told RFE/RL that he is satisfied with the number of Belarusians determined by the census. "The number of 50,000 Belarusians is a very good result given the conditions in which we live and the situation in which the census was taken," Wappa said. "It should also be taken into account that [Poland's] other minorities, in contrast to us, have strong support in their [cultural] fatherlands. We think that this result testifies to the fact that the real number of Belarusians living in Poland amounts to 100,000-150,000," he added, effectively suggesting that the category of citizens who failed to declare their ethnicity in the census included a sizeable group of Belarusians.
The number of declared Ukrainians is certainly very disappointing to this minority in Poland. But it should be taken into account that, owing to historical developments, Poland's Ukrainians were in a very difficult situation as regards the cultivation of their ethnic identity. In 1947, the communist authorities expulsed some 140,000 Ukrainians from their ethnic territory in southeastern Poland and dispersed them in northern and western areas, which were taken over by Poland after the collapse of Nazi Germany. Besides, Poland's communist propaganda considerably contributed to building the public stereotype of a Ukrainian as a rabid nationalist who hates Poland and Poles. Therefore, it is very likely than many Ukrainians preferred not to disclose their true ethnic identity to census takers for fear of future problems, either refusing to provide any information on it or declaring Polish origin.
Other minorities registered by the 2002 census in Poland were: Roma (12,900), Russians (6,100), Lemkos (5,900), Lithuanians (5,800), Kashubs (5,100), Slovaks (2,000), Jews (1,100), Armenians (1,100), and Czechs (800). It is worth noting here that the 2002 census results provide an "official recognition" to the existence of Lemkos in Poland, who have so far been regarded as a Ukrainian regional subgroup. While some Lemkos undeniably identify themselves as Ukrainians, there is also a movement among them claiming that Poland's Lemkos are a distinct ethnic group with a distinct language and, thus, a party in a broader effort of building the Rusyn national identity across several state frontiers (see "RFE/RL Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine Report," 11 January 2000).

WILL KUCHMA OUTWIT OPPOSITION WITH CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM? President Leonid Kuchma submitted a modified version of his constitutional-reform bill to the Verkhovna Rada on 20 June, as he pledged in a televised address to the nation the previous day. Kuchma told the nation that, guided by the public discussion of the reform draft and his will to find a compromise with Ukrainian political forces, he decided to scrap some of his earlier proposals. Opposition activists claim, however, that in pursuing the constitutional reform, Kuchma is still seeking to prolong his term in power beyond 2004.
Kuchma withdrew his earlier suggestions to introduce a bicameral legislature, reduce the number of deputies, and apply the results of national referendums directly, without seeking approval from any other branch of government. "It is these three contentious points that have spurred the most heated discussion between the president and his opponents," Kuchma said on television. "But we have no right to continue to engage in a tug of war to mark time, which is why I have removed these barriers."
As earlier, Kuchma suggests that the prime minister be appointed by parliament after his candidacy has been proposed by a "permanently functioning parliamentary majority" and submitted to the Verkhovna Rada by the president. The Verkhovna Rada should also appoint all ministers except for the foreign minister, the defense minister, and the interior minister, who are to be appointed by the president. Under Kuchma's constitutional-reform bill, the president has also the right to appoint the heads of the Security Service, the State Customs Committee, the State Tax Administration, and the State Border Committee.
The new bill stipulates that the president has the right to disband parliament if it fails to create a permanent majority within one month; if a new cabinet composition has not been approved for 60 days after the resignation of the preceding government; and if parliament fails to approve Ukraine's budget for the next year by 1 December.
The new bill also retains Kuchma's previous proposal that the president, parliamentarians, and local deputies be elected for five-year terms in elections held in the same calendar year. "Ukraine needs a stable electoral cycle, because one cannot regard as normal the practice where society only passes from one electoral campaign to another, while politicians literally never leave the electoral barricades," Kuchma said. "I believe that elections should be held once in five years. This is quite enough.... I have repeatedly stressed and I want to stress it again: the next presidential election should be held in 2004."
However, Kuchma did not tell television viewers how he envisages switching to this new electoral cycle. But Ukrainian print media highlighted a provision in the bill stating that the Verkhovna Rada must approve a date for the first such elections within two months of the constitutional reforms' passage. According to some Ukrainian observers, the provision is a clear indication that Kuchma is seeking to outwit the opposition and prolong his term in power beyond 2004. While constitutional amendments require 300 votes for passage, the approval of a bill setting the date for the next presidential elections (as well as parliamentary and local ones) would require just 226 votes -- well within the reach of the pro-Kuchma parliamentary majority. And this date, Kuchma's opponents argue, may be set for 2005, 2006, or even 2007.
The Socialist Party has launched the collection of signatures among lawmakers under a petition requesting the Constitutional Court to rule whether Kuchma may run for a third presidential term. On the other hand, Viktor Yushchenko's Our Ukraine called on lawmakers to introduce a moratorium on making constitutional amendments until 2006, when a regular parliamentary election is to take place. It seems that Our Ukraine has finally decided that it is not going to take part in reforming the constitutional system as long as Kuchma is in power. Without Our Ukraine's participation in the process, it is rather unlikely that the pro-Kuchma forces in the parliament will be able to muster 300 votes necessary for the passage of the Kuchma-submitted bill, especially as the Socialist Party and the Yuliya Tymoshenko Bloc are sponsoring a different constitutional-reform bill.
The weekly "Zerkalo nedeli" in its 21-27 June issue commented sarcastically on Kuchma's recent constitutional-reform proposal by saying that the number of scenarios allowing him to remain in power longer than two terms is constantly increasing. The weekly cited four such scenarios.
Scenario 1: The Constitutional Court rules that the Kuchma may run for a third term since he was elected in 1994 and 1999 under different constitutions (Ukraine promulgated its current constitution in 1996, when Kuchma was serving his first time). Thus, under the 1996 constitution, Kuchma is formally serving his first term.
Scenario 2: The Verkhovna Rada passes the constitutional-reform bill proposed by Kuchma and the pro-presidential majority subsequently schedules the next presidential election well beyond 2004.
Scenario 3: The Verkhovna Rada passes the constitutional-reform bill proposed by Kuchma, a new president is elected in 2004 for a transition period until 2006 or 2007, when the country is to enter the five-year electoral cycle. Kuchma does not participate in the 2004 election but chooses to run again in 2006 or 2007. The Ukrainian Constitution prohibits one person from serving more than two consecutive presidential terms, but it does not restrict the number of presidential terms for the same person!
Scenario 4: A new president and new parliament are elected in 2004. The parliament fails to form a permanent parliamentary majority or a cabinet, or to approve a budget within constitutional terms, and the president disbands it. And this automatically means that a new election cycle is to be launched in the country, and Kuchma obtains the possibility to run once again.
"It is simply amazing how it is possible for one to go hunting so many at the same time," "Zerkalo nedeli" wrote. "Will the 450 potential hunters [lawmakers] ever become tired of being game?" the weekly marveled. A good question, indeed. (Jan Maksymiuk)
"President Kuchma wants to obtain support from foreign partners and he has a 'way' with each of them. In dealing with the United States, he pretends that he wants Ukraine to join NATO. In dealing with Russia, he pretends that he wants Ukraine to fully integrate with this country. And in dealing with Poland, he pretends that he desires full reconciliation.... It will be very bad if Ukraine's current leadership, which has tiny social support, chooses to close the problem of the Volhynia tragedy in such a light-hearted way." -- Yuliya Tymoshenko in an interview with "Rzeczpospolita" on 24 June, commenting on the planned Ukrainian-Polish commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Volhynia massacres.
"RFE/RL Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine Report" is prepared by Jan Maksymiuk on the basis of a variety of sources including reporting by "RFE/RL Newsline" and RFE/RL's broadcast services. It is distributed every Tuesday.
OUR UKRAINE OPPOSES 'REVERSE' USE OF ODESA-BRODY PIPELINE. Viktor Yushchenko's Our Ukraine said in a statement on 24 June that the use of the Odesa-Brody oil pipeline to pump Russian oil from Brody to Odesa would run counter to Ukraine's national interests, Interfax reported. The statement came in apparent response to recent appeals to employ the Odesa-Brody pipeline, which was built to pump Caspian oil to Europe, in a "reverse mode" (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 12 June 2003). Our Ukraine called on President Leonid Kuchma to take a clear stand on using the pipeline exclusively in accordance with its original design. Meanwhile, Kuchma said the same day that Ukraine will not use the Odesa-Brody pipeline in the reverse direction if the European Commission takes "specific steps" to use the oil pipeline in its planned direction. Kuchma also observed that the Odesa-Brody oil-pipeline project "perfectly characterizes the Ukrainian mentality." "First we did it, and then we asked ourselves -- why have we done this?" he said. JM
MOLDOVAN PRESIDENT MEETS EU OFFICIALS. President Vladimir Voronin, on the second day of an official visit to Brussels, met on 24 June with European Commission President Romano Prodi; External Affairs Commissioner Chris Patten; and Guido Podesta, a deputy speaker of the European Parliament, RFE/RL's Chisinau bureau and Infotag reported. The EU leaders reportedly told Voronin that the organization understands the economic difficulties Moldova faces and is prepared to render assistance to overcome them. They said the EU is ready to provide Chisinau with 40 million euros ($46.2 million) in immediate assistance, and will later provide an additional 15 million euros to help Moldova overcome its trade deficit. Prodi and Patten said they appreciate Moldova's contribution to debates on the concept of "EU neighbors," adding that an individual plan will be prepared for Moldova after the expected enlargement of the organization next year. They also said it is important for Moldova to control its borders efficiently, particularly the Transdniester section of the Moldovan-Ukrainian frontier, and that the EU is pursuing an intense dialogue with Ukraine to that end. Voronin told Podesta that his country values the European Parliament's recommendation that Moldova be included in the Stabilization and Association Agreement with the EU. MS

Where do you work? What is your favorite part of your job?
I work at the Sonoma County History & Genealogy Library, one of four special collections of Sonoma County Library, located in downtown Santa Rosa, California, about an hour’s drive north of San Francisco.
The favorite part of my job is that every day is different. I gain exposure to new ideas, people and places, and historical insights. It’s great for the curious mind!
What’s a typical day like at your job?
My typical day as a librarian/archivist is a mix of answering questions on local history and family history by consulting a wide range of resources including books, maps, directories, genealogy and newspaper databases, and archival collections. I facilitate donations of historical materials from community members and organizations. In my off-desk time, I am creating accession records to make our archival backlog discoverable. I also help manage the library’s web archives and provide access to the County of Sonoma Archives. And lately, I’ve been asked by non-profit organizations to consult on community archiving projects.
When and how did you become an archivist or become interested in archives?
I first encountered the professional field of archives (and that you could be an archivist) in the beginning of my MLIS program at UCLA. A documentary film enthusiast, I was interested in the elements – oral histories/artifacts/documents/photos – from which a hidden narrative can emerge and curious about the notion of “archivist as documentarian.” I had an adviser who encouraged me to think big picture and take classes in documentary filmmaking from the department of EthnoCommunications and courses in Oral History. Working with primary sources, I developed an appreciation for the persistence of materials and the stories they embody.
What’s your favorite project or collection you’ve worked with in the past year?
My favorite project has been bringing a DIY digitization memory lab to Sonoma County Library. I had been watching the Memory Lab Network evolve and had visited other labs and pestered their librarians (Thank you – Hoan-Vu Do, Jonathan Waltmire, Trina Camping, Breanna Feliciano – for your patience!!). Now, with a grant from IMLS through California State Library’s LSTA program, we will be offering digitization/digital preservation education, training and services to the public next spring. Stay tuned for the Playback Memory Lab – empowering individuals and communities to preserve what matters to them!
What made you join PLASC’s Steering Committee?
I joined to be part of a larger network of archivists working in public libraries. I wanted to contribute to making PLASC a resource hub and a forum to recognize the collections & programming work of our members from across the country.

Venue: Tilburg, The Netherlands
Dutch festival goes out-there with live performances from Crippled Black Phoenix, Gong, Wolves In The Throne Room, Magma, Hedvig Mollestad Trio and Ulver
Roadburn Festival boasts a brilliantly diverse line-up. Though it primarily attracts music fans of the bearded and black leather-clad variety, the bill means you can go from headbanging to doom to being mesmerised by a jazz sax solo to dancing your socks off to electronica, all in the space of a few hours. And if you find the time for a musical break, there are in-depth panel discussions, interviews, signings and a nearby strip of cafés to chill in with a cherry beer.

After rewarding its shareholders with a 1:1 bonus issue, Reliance Industries is offering performance-linked incentives to its employees this Diwali, though lower than last year’s.
A RIL official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they received the incentives this week. He said this time incentives ranged between 2.5-7.5% of the annual compensation, half of last year’s pay out. RIL employees generally get the incentives in April.
Last year, the company launched a drastic cost cutting and belt-tightening initiative to combat the global economic slowdown. Code named “Mission Kurukshetra,” the exercise was aimed at cutting costs across all its major industrial operations—from refineries to petrochemicals, oil exploration to retail—as well as across the value chain.
A senior RIL official confirmed that incentives were being paid to employees. He said: “Mission Kurukshetra paid off well”. He, however, declined to comment on the quantum of cash outgo for payment of incentives. RIL has nearly 25,000 employees. An external spokesperson for RIL declined to comment. Mukesh Ambani, RIL’s chairman, last week took a pay cut of 66% to Rs 15 crore for fiscal year 2008-09.
RIL recently announced that each shareholders would get a free share for every share they held, first time after a gap of 12 years. It also announced a 130% dividend pay out to the shareholders.

Hi Tom, just wanted to say a very big thank you to you and the band for Saturday. We believe you made the evening, we've had so many calls and texts etc on how brilliant you were. It really was the icing on the cake for us. Hope to use you again in the near future. Many thanksMr & Mrs Travers - Wedding Client
Many thanks for helping make our wedding celebrations so fantastic. Thanks to your band's talent and energy everyone was up and dancing from the first song!
We really appreciated you learning our first dance song especially for us - we loved every second of it.
We'd thoroughly recommend you to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and funky band that appeals to many ages and tastes and we hope to hear you again at some point in the near future.Rachel and Jonathan Dickson - Wedding Client
How much do you charge? It is difficult to give an indication of how much we charge without knowing a bit more about your event. There are many different things that affect the cost of hiring us, including size and location of the venue, the length of time you would like us to play etc. The best thing to do is to enquire about us now to talk through a few details of your event and we will give you a no obligation quotation and probably some helpful information!
What areas do you cover? We are happy to play almost any where in the world! We are based in London and the South East, but can travel with no problem. Get in touch to discuss your event and the logistics.
Do you offer a smaller band? Yes! Although the full experience is the 8-piece band with full rhythm section, 2 horns and 2 singers, we do offer a variety of different ensembles to suit your event. Our smallest line-up is the 5-piece band which is perfect if you are tight on budget or space!
Will the band need PA or special lighting? We are completely self sufficient and bring our own dedicated sound engineer to every gig. This ensures that the sound is always top quality. We also bring our own lighting for the band and dance floor.
Do you take song requests? Yes! For weddings we will learn one song for the first dance free of charge. We will also happily try to accommodate any other requests from our extensive repertoire list. If you would like us to learn more than one song, then there may be some extra charges.
How long do you need to set up? It takes about 2 hours to set up and sound check the PA. This can be shorter if it is a smaller venue. It is preferable to set up as close to the performance time as possible. However, if you require an earlier set up then let us know and we’ll discuss how to accommodate it.
How long do you normally play for? Usually we play 2 x 1 hour sets. However, if you prefer, we can split that into 3 x 40 minute sets. These are just the common set times we do. If you require alternative set times, or more than 2 hours live music we can do that too!
Will we need to hire a DJ? We are happy to play either our own selection of music or your own selection before and in between our sets. Most people find that they don’t need a separate DJ as well as the band.
How loud do you play? As loud/quiet as you want! We will adjust the volume of the performance to your requirements.
What do you wear? Our musicians usually perform in white shirts, dark trousers and cool, skinny ties with waistcoats and other accessories! However we can wear suits or even black tie if required. We will always be smart in appearance on and off stage.

Travis....I had the exact same scenario last year. I read and watched all the advise on sheet mulching, and applied it to a garden i had no problems with slugs in the past. Well exactly as you said, it created a Horror Show. Last year i would pick off at least 100 slugs every morning.......All summer long... there was not end. I did eventually rip up all of the sheet mulching after i realized what i had created. I also have snakes, toads, and plenty of birds around......but they did not make a difference.
What if found was that d.e. did not work effectively. I carried around a plastic container with about 1/3 water and a squirt of Dawn dish detergent. I simply put them in the jug and they die pretty quickly. I could not stand to cut them up. After a few days the dead mess went into the compost pile. i dont mind slugs in the compost pile, and i noticed that the dead slugs did attract other slugs.
I also put out bug traps, which are juice containers, painted blue and with tangle trap applied. It basically catches mosquitoes, black flys, horse flies. When these are full of bugs i put it on the ground and in the morning... all of the slugs are on the container, eating the dead bugs, and not in the garden. They seem to like meat better than veggees. it has been by far the best slug trap going.
I live by the ocean and pick up seaweed which i wrap around the brassicas. They will not go past that.
As for the comment that it would have happened anyway.......I totally disagree..... the sheet mulching causes disaster in some areas. Obviously like mine and Travis's.
I believe the lesson in all of this is for each one of use to discern what works best for us and Not to listen to those who think they have the magic pill for everyone. Every situation is unique.
With my changes to the garden this year.. i only have about 10 slugs each morning...far more manageable.

Diabetic Nephropathy: from bench to bedside
Diabetes mellitus together with arterial hypertension are the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Notably, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains a major and independent risk for premature mortality. Therefore, continuous and accurate control of risk factors for the development of diabetic nephropathy is mandatory. Measurement of serum creatinine levels and calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) according to CKD-EPI equation must be performed annually, Also, measurement of urine albumin and calculation of the urine albumin to creatine ratio rate (uACR) is recommended to be performed annually, too, as uACR > 30 mg/g creatinine is considered to be a continuous risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Equally important is good glycemic control, as determined by glycated hemoglobin levels of < 7%, as well as control of hypertension, often with more than three anti-hypertensive drugs needed to achieve this goal. Inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is not only effective in managing hypertension, but seems to reduce albuminuria levels among patients with diabetic nephropathy. However, combination of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE’s) with angiotensin receptor antagonists (AT2) or with direct renin inhibitors is not recommended due to the increased risk of hyperkalemia, hypotension and acute kidney injury. Other antihypertensive drugs which decrease albuminuria levels are the newer dihydropyridines calcium blockers manidipine and the latest b-blockers (carvedilol). Dyslipidemia parameters should be improved, too, especially the serum LDL-cholesterol levels <100 mg/dl. Vitamin D analogues have been shown to decrease albuminuria if eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 cm2 on account of a) inhibition of RAAS b) immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects and c) inhibition of interstitial fibrosis in conjunction with FGF-23 (Fibroblast Growth Factor-23). Besides, sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors, which produce glucosuria seem to possess nephroprotective properties among type 2 diabetic patients. In particular, the EMPAREG study has documented that empagliflozin reduces the relative risk of serum creatinine doubling by 44%, while the relative risk of introducing hemoperfusion has been decreased by 55% within four years. It seems likely that atrasentan, a selective antagonist of the receptor of endothelin A also reduces albuminuria by approximately 35%. Moreover, the significance of substances with anti-inflammatory properties, such as oxidase inhibitors, pentoxyfilline, and N-acetyl-cysteine remains to be elucidated. It is noteworthy that weight loss together with dietary consultation, not only are implicated in better glycemic control and dyslipidemia management, but also in improving diabetic nephropathy per se.

Audrick Afatasi was a high school senior and standout football player when an attempted double flip at a trampoline park caused him to sustain a spinal cord injury. Upon landing, Afatasi recalled that he felt locked up and unable to move. Despite going to rehab and keeping a positive attitude, the young athlete how requires a wheelchair for mobility. Afatasi’s story is one of many that highlight how spinal cord injuries are soaring with the increased popularity of trampoline parks across the country.
Trampoline parks are commercial entertainment facilities where visitors pay to have access to large spaces where the floors and walls are designed to contain built-in trampolines. Most facilities also offer foam pits to jump in, basketball hoops, dodgeball arenas, and other such trampoline-focused activities.
The popularity of these trampoline parks has grown exponentially over the past few years. While there were only three trampoline parks nationwide less than a decade ago, this number has now increased to over 800 locations. Today, trampoline parks have become a billion-dollar industry with a presence in most cities across the United States.
While there has been a rapid increase in the demand for trampoline parks, regulations for these parks remain mostly nonexistent. Even the recent trampoline park safety standards being developed by the International Association of Trampoline Parks (IATP) are merely recommendations that trampoline parks are not legally obligated to follow.
Until a state’s legislature establishes trampoline park regulations, there may be no way to ensure that a trampoline park within that state meets certain safety standards. Unfortunately, only a handful of states currently have such regulations.
Reuters Health has found that the number of emergency room visits for injuries that occur in trampoline parks is rising with the popularity of these facilities. Furthermore, CBS News has reported that the volume of visits increased from 2,500 in 2013 to nearly 18,000 in 2017.
While experts say trampoline parks are no more dangerous than home trampolines, their popularity has caused a ten-fold increase in trampoline-related emergency room visits. With over 50 million visits to trampoline parks each year in the United States, the need for additional oversight is critical. While spinal cord injuries from trampoline parks soar as their popularity increases, children as young as six and seven years old have experienced serious injuries.
The lawyers at the Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm continue to monitor the trampoline park regulations being implemented in various states. If you or a loved one sustained a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or any other serious harm while at a trampoline park, call 1-877-SCI-FIRM today for a free consultation.


Coronation Street fans are worried about Eileen Grimshaw’s safety after spotting a ghostly shadow lurking on her staircase as she spoke to murderer Phelan in the lounge.
The eagle-eyed viewers took to social media to share their theories about who the spooky shadow could be – perhaps wondering if Eileen has more to, um, worry about than being married to a serial killer!
As Eileen confronted murderer Pat Phelan over Luke Britton’s death, it seemed like a dark apparition passed behind Eileen on the stairs.
But was this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment really something sinister?
Despite there being two lit lamps behind the character – her house did seem eerily dark as she confessed to Pat that she’d not only been through his belongings looking for a gun, but that she had also been to visit Anna Windass in prison.
But some viewers weren’t paying any attention to the fact she was signing her own death warrant by confessing all to Phelan – they were more worried about the spooky goings on in the back ground…
But while fans joked that she ghost could have been Elsie Tanner, who was played by actress Pat Phoenix until 1984, other fans were coming up with theories about who is next on Phelan’s hit list.
While others think Seb is next on the serial killer’s hits list after he gave evidence against him in court…
Earlier this month Phelan killed Luke after shooting him and then letting him burn to death in his car.
Seb has since found out and shared his discovery with an initially unbelieving Eileen.
But as the pair get closer to the truth, have they both just put themselves in Phelan’s firing line?
If there really are sinister shadows lurking in Eileen’s hallway, could this be an eerie indication on what the future holds for Eileen?
Corrie continues tomorrow evening with a double bill at 7.30 and 8.30 on ITV.

Annuity rates took a tumble in the three months from March to June, with enhanced products declining by more than 3.00%.
Conventional annuity rates fell by 0.18% in the quarterly period, while enhanced rates contracted by 3.50%.
Enhanced annuities are designed to give people with certain illnesses or habits, such as smoking, more income in their retirement.
The figures from MGM Advantage – which are calculated by using annuity data from Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts – will add further pressure to people in retirement who are living longer with increasingly diminished pots of money.
"We anticipate that this trend is set to continue," commented Craig Fazzini-Jones, director at the retirement income specialist.
"Given this, the need to shop around for the best possible annuity rate is becoming even more imperative."
The fall in rates has been compounded by stubbornly high inflation.
In June 2011, the average conventional annuity rate was just 1.04% higher than the Retail Price Index (RPI), compared to 3.87% in December 2009. For enhanced rates, the gap was 2.06% and 5.30% respectively.
For someone with a pension pot of £50,000, the fall in annuity rates plus the rise in inflation means that they would receive £101.24 and £316.36 a year less if they were buying a conventional and enhanced annuity respectively.
The annuity market also continues to offer vastly different returns at either end of the market, highlighting the need to put time into finding the best deal.
The latest findings from the Index reveal that the average difference in the income paid between the top and bottom quartile conventional annuity rates for men is 15.99% and 17.05% for women. In relation to enhanced annuity rates, the corresponding figures are 18.85% and 17.87%.
The difference between the average standard and enhanced annuity rates is 16.35%.
Over the average retirement, this would amount to £8,426.22 for men and a huge £10,490.80 for women, on a pension pot of £50,000.
