I received a sample of this mascara and the only thing I can say is I won't be purchasing the full size. It's one of those mascaras I have tried that deliver volume in the form of "clumps". Instead of separation, it grouped my lashes into several sections. The end result is spider legs lashes! It also flaked on me when it dried so I had mascara flakes deposited under my lower lashes after about 3 hrs. I'm glad I only got the sample and didn't pay for the actual product.

I do not understand how could the rating of this product be 2.9 as of today. It is my favorite mascara. You got long and amazing look after applying this mascara. It is not sticky and dry very short time. It gives more than enough volume to the lashes. I was using lancome hypnose before discovering this product and i am sure i can not give up to use Magnascopic.

This mascara really does clump like crazy and although some reviewers note that you have to comb it out to get the desired effect, this is just an unnecessary, time-consuming step for me. There are many mascaras which are much better and are a lot cheaper, too.

I got this as a sample size GWP and I've been trying it out the last couple of weeks.
I have some significant problems with this mascara. First off, it CLUMPS. My lashes are long spindly and blondish taupey grey. They are thin and far apart. This glues them together at the tips, and I try to comb it out while wet, but they seem to magnetically stick back together.
It does thicken the lashes though. And as for my usual problems with itching, flaking and red eyes (allergic sensitive type, red rims that inflame easily, droopy hooded lids that pick up smudges from mascara, eyeliner and deeper shades of eyeshadow)
this mascara doesn't seem to aggravate my eyes at all. I do notice smudging, but not anymore than usual, and a little flaking by the end of the day. But I'm not digging my fingers into my eyelids rubbing at various itchy spots at the end of the day so that is a plus.

I got the travel size from a friend, and it's an OK-ish mascara which does a decent volumizing. It makes eyelashes fuller, and I apply a second coat of Perfectionist, the result is very good if I don't forget to apply Perfectionist immediately after, because my lashes get very stiff when it dries.
There are many better alternatives with the same or lower price. So I will definetely not purchase a full size.

Messy, does not separate lashes, gloopy and it flakes far toooo much. I tried a sample that went directly in the bin after one use. The most horrible mascara I have ever tried (even worse than DS cheapest stuff, terrible).

When I first put this on, it was Tammy Faye all the way... gloopy, clumpy mess. For that it gets two stars. But I will note that once I combed it out, it looked pretty good. Still, a mascara that clumps like this cannot be recommended.

I've been using this mascara for a couple of months, it does get clumpy and wet, it sometimes makes my eyelashes join together- thats why I've given it a 3! But a lash comb or a separate mascara brush does the trick for me, and I have to say the end finish does look lovely. Lashes look really black, long and volumized! But I do have to put in alot of time when using it!! I wouldn't mind another bottle, but I'd rather try another bran!

Alanya (Turkish pronunciation: [aˈɫanja]), formerly Alaiye, is a beach resort city and a component district of Antalya Province on the southern coast of Turkey, in the country's Mediterranean Region, 138 kilometres (86 mi) east of the city of Antalya. As of Turkey's 2010 Census, the city had a population of 98,627, while the district that includes the city and its built-up region had an area of 1,598.51 km2 and 248,286 inhabitants.[3]
Because of its natural strategic position on a small peninsula into the Mediterranean Sea below the Taurus Mountains, Alanya has been a local stronghold for many Mediterranean-based empires, including the Ptolemaic, Seleucid, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. Alanya's greatest political importance came in the Middle Ages, with the Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm under the rule of Alaeddin Kayqubad I, from whom the city derives its name. His building campaign resulted in many of the city's landmarks, such as the Kızıl Kule (Red Tower), Tersane (Shipyard), and Alanya Castle.
The Mediterranean climate, natural attractions, and historic heritage make Alanya a popular destination for tourism, and responsible for nine percent of Turkey's tourism sector and thirty percent of foreign purchases of real estate in Turkey. Tourism has risen since 1958 to become the dominant industry in the city, resulting in a corresponding increase in city population. Warm-weather sporting events and cultural festivals take place annually in Alanya. In 2014 Mayor Adem Murat Yücel, of the Nationalist Movement Party unseated Hasan Sipahioğlu, of the Justice and Development Party, who had previously led the city since 1999.
The city has changed hands many times over the centuries, and its name has reflected this. Alanya was known in Latin as Coracesium or in Greek as Korakesion from the Luwian Korakassa meaning "point/protruding city".[4] The Roman Catholic Church still recognizes the Latin name as a titular see in its hierarchy.[5] Under the Byzantine Empire it become known as Kalonoros or Kalon Oros, meaning "beautiful/fine mountain" in Greek.[6] The Seljuks renamed the city Alaiye (علائیه), a derivative of the Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad I's name. In the 13th and 14th centuries, Italian traders called the city Candelore or Cardelloro.[7] In his 1935 visit, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk finalized the name in the new alphabet as Alanya, changing the 'i' and 'e' in Alaiye, reportedly because of a misspelled telegram in 1933.[8][9]
Finds in the nearby Karain Cave indicate occupation during the Paleolithic era as far back as 20,000 BC,[10] and archeological evidence shows a port existed at Syedra, south of the modern city, during the Bronze Age around 3,000 BC.[11] A Phoenician language tablet found in the district dates to 625 BC, and the city is specifically mentioned in the 4th-century BC Greek geography manuscript, the periplus of Pseudo-Scylax.[10] The castle rock was likely inhabited under the Hittites and the Achaemenid Empire, and was first fortified in the Hellenistic period following the area's conquest by Alexander the Great.[12] Alexander's successors left the area to Ptolemy I Soter after 323 BC. His dynasty maintained loose control over the mainly Isaurian population, and the port became a popular refuge for Mediterranean pirates.[4] The city resisted Antiochus III the Great of the neighboring Seleucid kingdom in 199 BC, but was loyal to the pirate Diodotus Tryphon when he seized the Seleucid crown from 142 to 138 BC. His rival Antiochus VII Sidetes completed work in 137 BC on a new castle and port, begun under Diodotus.[13]
The Roman Republic fought Cilician pirates in 102 BC, when Marcus Antonius the Orator established a proconsulship in nearby Side, and in 78 BC under Servilius Vatia, who moved to control the Isaurian tribes.[14] The period of piracy in Alanya finally ended after the city's incorporation into the Pamphylia province by Pompey in 67 BC, with the Battle of Korakesion fought in the city's harbor.[15] Isaurian banditry remained an issue under the Romans, and the tribes revolted in the fourth and fifth centuries AD, with the largest rebellion being from 404 to 408.[16]
With the spread of Christianity Coracesium, as it was called, became a bishopric. Its bishop Theodulus took part in the First Council of Constantinople in 381, Matidianus in the Council of Ephesus in 431, Obrimus in the Council of Chalcedon in 451, and Nicephorus (Nicetas) in the Third Council of Constantinople in 680. Coracesium was a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Side, the capital of the Roman province of Pamphylia Prima, to which Coracesium belonged. It continued to be mentioned in the Notitiae Episcopatuum as late as the 12th or 13th century.[17][18][19][20] No longer a residential bishopric, Coracesium is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[21]
Islam arrived in the 7th century with Arab raids, which led to the construction of new fortifications.[10] The area fell from Byzantine control after the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 to tribes of Seljuk Turks, only to be returned in 1120 by John II Komnenos.[22]
Following the Fourth Crusade's attack on the Byzantines, the Christian Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia periodically held the port, and it was from an Armenian, Kir Fard, that the Turks took lasting control in 1221 when the Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad I captured it, assigning the former ruler, whose daughter he married, to the governance of the city of Akşehir.[23] Seljuk rule saw the golden age of the city, and it can be considered the winter capital of their empire.[24] Building projects, including the twin citadel, city walls, arsenal, and Kızıl Kule, made it an important seaport for western Mediterranean trade, particularly with Ayyubid Egypt and the Italian city-states.[25] Alaeddin Kayqubad I also constructed numerous gardens and pavilions outside the walls, and many of his works can still be found in the city. These were likely financed by his own treasury and by the local emirs, and constructed by the contractor Abu 'Ali al-Kattani al-Halabi.[12] Alaeddin Kayqubad I's son, Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev II, continued the building campaign with a new cistern in 1240.[26]
At the Battle of Köse Dağ in 1242, the Mongol hordes broke the Seljuk hegemony in Anatolia. Alanya was then subject to a series of invasions from Anatolian beyliks. In 1293, the Karamanid dynasty took control after Mecdüddin Mahmud conquered the city, but their rule was intermittent.[27] Lusignans from Cyprus briefly overturned the then ruling Hamidid Dynasty in 1371.[28] The Karamanids sold the city in 1427 for 5,000 gold coins to the Mamluks of Egypt for a period before General Gedik Ahmed Pasha in 1471 incorporated it into the growing Ottoman Empire. The city was made a capital of a local sanjak in the eyalet of Içel.[6] The Ottomans extended their rule in 1477 when they brought the main shipping trade, lumber, then mostly done by Venetians, under the government monopoly.[25] On September 6, 1608, the city rebuffed a naval attack by the Order of Saint Stephen from the Republic of Venice.[7]
Trade in the region was negatively impacted by the development of an oceanic route from Europe around Africa to India, and in the tax registers of the late sixteenth century, Alanya failed to qualify as an urban center.[29] In 1571 the Ottomans designated the city as part of the newly conquered province of Cyprus.[10] The conquest further diminished the economic importance of Alanya's port. Traveler Evliya Çelebi visited the city in 1671/1672, and wrote on the preservation of Alanya Castle, but also on the dilapidation of Alanya's suburbs.[6] The city was reassigned in 1864 under Konya, and in 1868 under Antalya, as it is today.[10] During the 18th and 19th centuries numerous villas were built in the city by Ottoman nobility, and civil construction continued under the local dynastic Karamanid authorities.[4] Bandits again became common across Antalya Province in the mid-nineteenth century.[30]
After World War I, Alanya was nominally partitioned in the 1917 Agreement of St.-Jean-de-Maurienne to Italy, before returning to the Turkish Republic in 1923 under the Treaty of Lausanne.[31] Like others in this region, the city suffered heavily following the war and the population exchanges that heralded the Turkish Republic, when many of the city's Christians resettled in Nea Ionia, outside Athens. The Ottoman census of 1893 listed the number of Greeks in the city at 964 out of a total population of 37,914.[32] Tourism in the region started among Turks who came to Alanya in the 1960s for the alleged healing properties of Damlataş Cave, and later the access provided by Antalya Airport in 1998 allowed the town to grow into an international resort. Strong population growth through the 1990s was a result of immigration to the city, and has driven a rapid modernization of the infrastructure.[33]
Located on the Gulf of Antalya on the Anatolian coastal plain of Pamphylia, the town is situated between the Taurus Mountains to the north and the Mediterranean Sea, and is part of the Turkish riviera, occupying roughly 70 kilometres (43 mi) of coastline.[34] From west to east, the Alanya district is bordered by the Manavgat district along the coast, the mountainous Gündoğmuş inland, Hadim and Taşkent in the Province of Konya, Sarıveliler in the Province of Karaman, and the coastal Gazipaşa district.[35] Manavgat is home to the ancient cities of Side and Selge. East of the city, the Dim River flows from the mountains in Konya on a south-west route into the Mediterranean.
The Pamphylia plain between the sea and the mountains is an isolated example of an Eastern Mediterranean conifer-sclerophyllous-broadleaf forest, which include Lebanon Cedar, evergreen scrub, fig trees, and black pine.[36] The Alanya Massif refers to the area of metamorphic rocks east of Antalya. This formation is divided into three nappes from lowest to highest, the Mahmutlar, the Sugözü, and the Yumrudağ. The similar lithology extends beneath the city in a tectonic window.[37] Bauxite, an aluminum ore, is common to the area north of city, and can be mined.[38]
The town is divided east–west by a rocky peninsula, which is the distinctive feature of the city. The harbor, city center, and Keykubat Beach, named after the Sultan Kayqubad I, are on the east side of the peninsula. Damlataş Beach, named for the famous "dripping caves", and Kleopatra Beach are to the west. The name "Cleopatra" possibly derives from either the Ptolemaic princess' visit here or the area's inclusion in her dowry to Mark Antony.[39][40] Atatürk Bulvarı, the main boulevard, runs parallel to the sea, and divides the southern, much more touristic side of Alanya from the northern, more indigenous side that extends north into the mountains. Çevre Yolu Caddesi, another major road, encircles the main town to the north.
Alanya has a typical hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csa). Located at the Mediterranean Basin, the subtropical high pressure zone ensures that most rain comes during the winter, leaving the summers long, hot, and dry, prompting the Alanya board of Tourism to use the slogan "where the sun smiles".[41] Storm cells sometimes bring with them fair weather waterspouts when close to the shore.[42] The presence of the Taurus Mountain in close proximity to the sea causes fog, in turn creating visible rainbows many mornings. The height of the mountains creates an interesting effect as snow can often be seen on them even on hot days in the city below. The sea at Alanya has an average temperature of 21.4 °C (71 °F) annually, with an average August temperature of 28 °C (82 °F).[43]

On the peninsula stands Alanya Castle, a Seljuk era citadel dating from 1226. Most major landmarks in the city are found inside and around the castle. The current castle was built over existing fortifications and served the double purpose of a palace of local government and as a defensive structure in case of attack. In 2007, the city began renovating various sections of the castle area, including adapting a Byzantine church for use as a Christian community center.[47] Inside the castle is the Süleymaniye mosque and caravanserai, built by Suleiman the Magnificent.[48] The old city walls surround much of the eastern peninsula, and can be walked. Inside the walls are numerous historic villas, well preserved examples of the classical period of Ottoman architecture, most built in the early 19th century.
The Kızıl Kule (Red Tower) is another well-known building in Alanya. The 108-foot (33 m) high brick building stands at the harbor below the castle, and contains the municipal ethnographic museum. Sultan Kayqubad I brought the accomplished architect Ebu Ali from Aleppo, Syria to Alanya to design the building.[49] The last of Alanya Castle's 83 towers, the octagonal structure specifically protected the Tersane (dockyard), it remains one of the finest examples of medieval military architecture.[50] The Tersane, a medieval drydock built by the Seljuk Turks in 1221, 187 by 131 feet (57 by 40 m), is divided into five vaulted bays with equilateral pointed arches.[48] The Alara Castle and caravanserai near Manavgat, also built under Kayqubad's authority, has been converted into a museum and heritage center.[51]
Atatürk's House and Museum, from his short stay in the city on February 18, 1935 is preserved in its historic state and is a good example of the interior of a traditional Ottoman villa, with artifacts from the 1930s. The house was built between 1880 and 1885 in the "karniyarik" (stuffed eggplant) style. Bright colors and red roofs are often mandated by neighborhood councils, and give the modern town a pastel glow. Housed in a 1967 Republican era building, The Alanya Museum is inland from Damlataşh Beach.[52] With its rich architectural heritage, Alanya is a member of the Norwich-based European Association of Historic Towns and Regions.[53] In 2009, city officials filed to include Alanya Castle and Tersane as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and were named to the 2009 Tentative List.[54][55]

From only 87,080 in 1985, the district has surged to hold a population of 384,949 in 2007.[68][69] This population surge is largely credited to immigration to the city as a result or byproduct of the increased prominence of the real estate sector and the growth of the housing market bubble.[70] The city itself has a population of 134,396, of which 9,789 are European expatriates, about half of them from Germany and Denmark.[71] 17,850 total foreigners own property in Alanya.[72] The European expatriate population tends to be over fifty years old.[73] During the summer the population increases due to large numbers of tourists, about 1.1 million each year pass through the city.[34] Both Turks and Europeans, these vacationers provide income for much of the population.
The city is home to many migrants from the Southeastern Anatolia Region and the Black Sea region. In the first decade of the 21st century, the town has seen a surge in illegal foreign immigrants from the Middle East and South Asia, both to stay and to attempt to enter European Union countries.[74] As of 2006, 1,217 migrants claim residence in Alanya while working abroad.[75] Yörük nomads also live in the Taurus Mountains north of the city on a seasonal basis.[76] Additionally, there is a small African community descendant from imported Ottoman slaves.[77]
The city is nearly 99% Muslim, and although many ancient churches can be found in the district, there are no weekly Christian services. In 2006, a German language Protestant church with seasonal service opened with much fanfare, after receiving permission to do so in 2003, a sign of the growing European population in the city.[78] In 2015, the town began renovations of the Greek Orthodox Agios Georgios Church in the village of Hacı Mehmetli, and the church has been used for a monthly Russian Orthodox service.[79] Alanya also provides the Atatürk Cultural Center to Christian groups on a regular basis for larger religious ceremonies.[80]
Education and health[edit]
The city has 95% literacy, with public and private schools, and a roughly 1:24 student-teacher ratio.[34] Rural villages are, however, disadvantaged by the limited number of secondary schools outside the city center. Alantur Primary School, which opened in 1987, was built and is maintained under the Turkish "Build Your Own School" initiative, supported by the foundation of Ayhan Şahenk, the founder of Doğuş Holding.[81]
In 2005, Akdeniz University of Antalya launched the Alanya Faculty of Business, as a satellite campus that focuses on the tourism industry.[82] The school hosts an International Tourism Conference annually in coordination with Buckinghamshire New University.[83] The city also has plans to open a private university in 2012.[84] Georgetown University operates an annual study abroad program for American students known as the McGhee Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies, named for the United States Ambassador to Turkey from 1952–53 George C. McGhee, and based in his villa.[85] Başkent University Medical and Research Center of Alanya, a teaching hospital run by Başkent University in Ankara is one of nineteen hospitals in Alanya.[86] Other major hospitals include the 300-bed Alanya State Hospital and the 90-bed Private Hayat Hospital.[87]
Alanya's culture is a subculture of the larger Culture of Turkey. The city's seaside position is central to many annual festivals. These include the Tourism and Arts Festival, which marks the opening of the tourism season from at the end of May or beginning of June.[88][89] At the opposite end of the season, the Alanya International Culture and Art Festival is held in the last week of May, and is a notable Turkish festival.[90] Other regular festivals include the Alanya Jazz Days, which has been held since 2002 in September or October at the Kızıl Kule, which is otherwise home to the municipal ethnographic museum. The Jazz Festival hosts Turkish and international jazz musicians in a series of five free concerts.[91]
The Alanya Chamber Orchestra, formed of members of the Antalya State Opera and Ballet, gave its inaugural performance on December 7, 2007.[92] The International Alanya Stone Sculpture Symposium, begun is 2004, is held over the month of November.[93] The Alanya Documentary Festival was launched in 2001 by the Alanya Cinémathèque Society and the Association of Documentary Filmmakers in Turkey.[94] Onat Kutlar, Turkish poet and writer, and founder of the Istanbul International Film Festival was born in Alanya, as was actress Sema Önür.[95]
Atatürk's visit to Alanya is also celebrated on its anniversary each February 18, centered on Atatürk's House and Museum.[4] The Alanya Museum is home to archaeology found in and around the city, including a large bronze Hercules statue, ceramics, and Roman limestone ossuaries, as well as historic copies of the Qur'an.[52][96] European residents of Alanya also often celebrate their national holidays, such as Norwegian Constitution Day,[97] and the city set up a Christmas market in December 2010.[98] Iranians also celebrate the Persian New Year, Nevruz, in Alanya.[99]
Alanya was set up as a municipality in 1872, electing its first mayor in 1901. Today, Alanya is governed by a mayor and a municipality council made up of thirty-seven members.[100] Eighteen councilors are from the far-right Nationalist Movement Party, seven are from the center-left Republican People's Party, and twelve are of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party), which is currently in power in the national government. Mayor Adem Murat Yücel of the Nationalist Movement Party was elected in 2014 by unseating the incumbent Hasan Sipahioğlu, who had previously been mayor since 1999.[101] Elections are held every five years, with the next to be held in March 2019. Alanya also has a deputy mayor, who often represents the city at its sporting events,[102] and together the mayor and his team represent Alanya in the provincial assembly in Antalya.[103]
Alanya District is divided up into 17 municipalities, including the city center, and 92 villages.[68] Alanya is greatly influenced by the provincial government in Antalya, and the national government in Ankara, which appoints a governor for the district, currently Dr. Hulusi Doğan.[104] Although Alanya has been part of Antalya Province since the Ottoman Empire, many local politicians have advocated a separate Alanya Province, a position supported by associations of foreign residents.[105]
Nationally, in the 2007 election, the province voted with the Justice and Development Party, who were followed closely by the Republican People's Party and the True Path Party.[106] Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, of the Justice and Development Party, is the only native Alanyalilar Member of Parliament representing Antalya Province in the Grand National Assembly, where he chairs the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Population.[107] Çavuşoğlu is the current Turkish Foreign Minister and also served as the president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
The tourist industry in Alanya is worth just under 1.1 billion euros per year, and is therefore the principal industry.[34] The area is further known for its many fruit farms, particularly lemons and oranges, and large harvests of tomatoes, bananas and cucumbers.[34][108] About 80,000 tonnes of citrus fruits were produced in 2006 across 16,840 hectares (41,600 acres). The greengage plum and the avocado are increasingly popular early season fruits where citrus fruits are becoming unprofitable.[109]
Despite the seaside location, few residents make their living on the sea, and fishing is not a major industry. In the early 1970s, when fish stocks ran low, a system of rotating access was developed to preserve this sector.[110] This innovative system was part of Elinor Ostrom's research on economic governance which led to her 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics.[111] In 2007, locals protested the establishment of some larger chain supermarkets and clothing stores, which have opened branches in Alanya.[112]
Beginning in 2003, with the provisional elimination of restrictions on land purchases by non-nationals, the housing industry in the city has become highly profitable with many new private homes and condominiums being built for European and Asian part-time residents.[70] Sixty-nine percent of homes purchased by foreign nationals in the Antalya Province and 29.9% in all of Turkey are in Alanya.[72][113] Buyers are primarily individuals, rather than investors.[114] This housing boom put pressure on the city's many gecekondu houses and establishments as property values rise and property sales to locals fall.[115] A height restriction in the city limits most buildings to 21 feet (6.5 m).[116] This keeps high rise hotels to the east and west of the city, preserving the central skyline at the expense of greater tourist potential. The fringes of the city however have seen uncontrolled expansion.[117]
Since the first modern motel was built in 1958, considered the first year of the tourist industry in Alanya, hotels have raced to accommodate the influx of tourists, and the city as of 2007 claims 157,000 hotel beds.[33][118] Damlataş Cave, which originally sparked the arrival of outsiders because of the cave's microclimate, with an average temperature of 72 °F (22 °C) and 95% humidity, is accessible on the west side of the peninsula with trails from Damlataş Beach.[119] Many tourists, especially Scandinavians, Germans, Russians, and Dutch, regularly vacation in Alanya during the warmer months.[120] They are drawn to the area because of property prices, warm weather, sandy beaches, access to Antalya's historic sites, and fine cuisine.[121]
Other outdoor tourist activities include wind surfing, parasailing, and banana boating. Attractions include Europe's largest waterpark, Sealanya, and Turkey's largest go-kart track.[122] Hunting season also attracts some tourist for wild goat, pig and partridge hunting in area nature reserves.[123]
For various reasons, tourist seasons after 2005 have been disappointing for Alanya's tourism industry. Among the reasons blamed were increased PKK violence, the H5N1 bird flu found in Van, and the Mohammad cartoon controversy.[124] Alanya officials have responded with a variety of publicity initiatives, including baking the world's longest cake on April 26, 2006, a Guinness World Record.[125] The economy has also suffered due to investment in more than 20,000 surplus properties.[112] Israeli tourists, commonly arriving via cruise ship, have also declined sharply by about 85% from 2009 to 2011 due in part to strained relations between Turkey and Israel.[126]
Alanya has 10 local daily newspapers.[34] One of these is Yeni Alanya, which includes the news and lifestyles magazine Orange and is available in English, German and Turkish. Two native German language newspapers are published in Alanya, the Aktuelle Türkei Rundschau and Alanya Bote for the community of German speaking residents and visitors. A monthly magazine Hello Alanya published in Alanya for foreigners, appearing in English and Dutch.[127] The free regional newspaper, Riviera News, is printed in English and is widely available in Alanya.
Five radio stations broadcast from the city.[34] Alanya FM Radyo broadcasts on 106.0 FM and is partnered with Radio Flash, on 94.0 FM, both broadcasting popular music.[128] Other stations include Alanya RadyoTime on 92.3 FM, which broadcasts a variety of Turkish music, news, and talk programming.[129] Two television stations are local to Alanya, Kanal Alanya, and Alanya Televizyonu, abbreviated ATV, which is partnered with Alanya RadyoTime.[130][131]
The D 400 Highway, the Alanya–Mersin Route, connects Alanya from the east and west, encircling it, and linking through the city center via Atatürk Bulvarı. The D695, the Ankara–Akşehir Route, runs north–south and reaches the sea 41 kilometres (25 mi) west of the city near Side, connecting with the D400. Antalya Airport is 121 kilometres (75 mi) away and connects internationally. The new Antalya Gazipaşa Airport, first begun in 1992, is only 14.5 kilometres (9.0 mi) from the city, and was expected to have its first regular domestic flights on May 22, 2010, although international flights were not expected before the start of the 2011 tourist season.[133] No train routes go to Alanya or Antalya Province, and there are no train stations in the district.[134]
There are bus and dolmuş systems out of Alanya's two bus depots, but buses are usually limited to the major roads, and inside the city transportation is by car, taxi, or foot, as many roads in the old town are closed to vehicle traffic. The harbor includes cruise ship piers, and also seasonal ferries and hydrofoils depart for Kyrenia in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.[135] Cruise ships docking at Alanya have increased 50% in 2013, with 53 estimated to have brought 56,000 passengers the end of the year.[136] Further west of the city is the Alanya Marina, which started services in 2008 while still under construction,[137] completing its expansion in 2010.[132] The 85-km2 (33-sq-mi) marina allowed Alanya to participate in the 2008 Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally.[138][139] The city is also investing in a community bicycle program with 150 bicycles and twenty terminals.[140]
Alanya is home to a woman's basketball team, Alanya Belediye, which started in the first division but was relegated after the 2002 season. The city hosts a third level soccer team, Alanyaspor. The club was founded in 1948, and play home games at Milli Egemenlik Stadium. It played in the Second League between 1988-1997. In 2007, the city began constructing a new soccer facility with the intention of hosting winter competitions between major teams.[141] The public Alanya Municipality Sports Facility is located adjacent to Milli Egemenlik Stadium, which is one of thirteen facilities.[142][143]
Alanya's waterfront location makes it suitable for certain events, and is perhaps most famous for its annual triathlon, part of the International Triathlon Union series, which has been held every October since 1990.[144] Marathon swimming competitions have also been connected to the triathlon since 1992.[145] Building on the triathlon's success, Alanya hosted a modern pentathlon in 2009.[146] Alanya is also the regular host of The Turkish Open, part of the Nestea European Beach Volleyball championship tour, which takes place in May.[147] In 2007, the Turkish Volleyball Federation persuaded the European Volleyball Confederation to build a beach volleyball training facility in Alanya, and make it the exclusive "center of beach volleyball in Europe".[148]
The city is also a frequent host to national events, such as the annual beach handball tournament.[102] Alanya is the traditional finish site of the seven-day Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey, though organizers reversed the route in 2012, and started the event in Alanya instead.[149] Other cycling events include the Alanya International Mountain Bike Race.[150] Additionally, the European Cycling Union had its 2010 European road cycling championship and 2010 ordinary congress meeting in Alanya.[151]
Sister cities[edit]
Since making agreements with Talsi, Trakai, and Keszthely in 2006, Borås in 2007, and Rovaniemi, Špindlerův Mlýn, and Moscow in 2009, Alanya increased its number of sister cities to twelve, ten of which are located within the European Union.[152][153][154] In 2005 Alanya applied with Sister Cities International for an additional sister city from the United States.[155] The most significant tie is with the city of Nea Ionia, where many of Alanya's Christians were resettled in 1923 after the Treaty of Lausanne. Soccer teams from sister cities Wodzisław Śląski and Schwechat have also come to train and scrimmage in Alanya.[156][157] Wodzisław, Schwechat, Gladbeck, Fushun, and Alanya form a "family" in that most are partnered with the others. During the annual Tourism and Culture Festival, Alanya dedicates the year to focus on one country, and has involved sister cities, such as Trakai when 2009 was declared the "Year of Lithuania,"[158] and Talsi, which was the focus of the 12th annual Tourism Parade in 2012.[159]

CNS PHOTO | ROBERT SORBO, REUTERSMembers of the Knights of Columbus protest outside the Capitol in Olympia, Wash., Feb. 8 to protest a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state. |
Members of the House of Representatives in Washington state voted Feb. 8 to legalize same-sex marriage, and Gov. Christine Gregoire was expected to sign the bill into law by mid-February.
The vote came one day after a federal appeals court in California struck down that state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage.
Once it becomes law, Washington will be the seventh state in the nation, along with the District of Columbia, where same-sex marriage is legal.

Five Best and Worst Gestures Toward Pregnant Women

Five Best and Worst Gestures Toward Pregnant Women
The excitement of knowing a child is growing inside someone can bring out the best and worst in people. From the odd — initiating inappropriate conversation — to the admirable — offering a hand as an expectant mama descends a steep flight of stairs. Here's the inside scoop on gestures toward moms-to-be.
6 years
I think one and two are just good manners for anyone who looks in need of help/a rest. But honestly, it bugs the hell out of me when pregnant women EXPECT someone to give up a seat on a bus, for instance. How do they know the person they're glaring at doesn't have a medical reason for needing to sit as well?

This is what people going to a commercialized festival want to hear. For every ten of you hating the line up, there are a hundred that are soooooooo stoked. I'm not tryin to say I have better taste in music. I have better taste in humans. The returds that demand this lineup you guys are hating are the reason why I have abandoned the music as a whole.
If I could kick it with these SMH clowns in person, I bet they could play me some killer music in all kinds of genres. They might een be able to play drums and stringed instruments. The crowd they cater to and sold out for demands shitty music and they want it fast. So quality and skill are over looked to cater to a trend and pump out shitty music and play every festival to milk the trend for every cent until the horse is dead. The promoters are in it for the same reasons. They wanna milk these little retards and throw as many parties with the same lineups as they an before the fad dies out.
At a gathering with family, the people bring the sound and production and it's not about making any more money than it cost to pay for the generators to run. This isn't about taste in music at all. This is money hungry corporate sell out shit being consumed by blind and def trend monkeys.

So I'm thinking about getting like 10g of some salvia for recreation and to pass around to friends. The problem is I'm not sure what extract to get 10x is too low, 20x is solid, and 40x sounds appealing The trips I'm looking for would be somewhat relaxed, repeatable trips that wouldnt mentally exhaust me... The last salv I had was the Salvia Society 40x which was pretty good but maybe a little too strong. Also, comes the whole money saving thing, if 40x is slightly more expensive you theoretically use half of the product and therefore save a lot of money by going more potent... http://www.ktbotanicals.com/salvia-divinorum-40x-incense-extract-p-6826.html Maybe flip it for $30 a g? and maybe like 20 a half gram? Would that be reasonable? I could also sprinkle it on some lettuce, and maybe charge slightly more for the lettuce? Would you ever buy lettuce that has been spiked with a scaled dose of salvia? Not enough for visuals but enough to give you a solid body high with laughs for a few minutes after toking a bowl, you know what I mean if you ever mixed some salvia with lettuce Thanks for the thoughts, and I've probably tripped hard like 8 times on salvia, 20x-40x Reputable websites with wholesale prices welcome
I keep thinking about trying salvia, but the smoke shops around here charge like $40 a gram for 40x, and I think that's a little steep for such a short term high.
Yeahh thats kind of what I was thinking... Im usually a balls out kind of person And no lettuce I find on the street that gets moved for some extra $
Okay, I just ordered 10g of 40x. I will return back when I get my order and tell everyone how it went (thinking MAX of 10 buisness days)
well for my first trip i tryed 20x and well that was enough to make me not wanna do it again... i was like falling into a door way on the floor and i kept going threw the door over and over and over for 2 minutes... till i pulled myself out drooling lol well after that me and my buds wanna try something way stronger now lol he tryed 20x and got stuck to the table and thought he was becoming the table
Not to brag but i hit 2 bowls of 40x salvia and nothing hit me..Than i tried some it a couple of months later and still nothing..So you might just waste you're money.Something is wrong with my brain i think. lol
20x is where I started and where I returned to after trying 60x and 10x...I find it's a good middle-ground for me. I'm not sure about the using less of the stronger though, should work in theory...I always just filled the bowl and blasted off!
You cant hit it like a normal bong hit, you hold it in carry on breathing in for like a minute or until ur reality just melts around you... Id go for 20x its goood shit
Yeah take a full hit with a butane, hold it, load the next bowl, blow out your hit, HOLD THE FUCK ON* take your next rip, hold it as long as possible, as soon as the tinyest bit of smoke starts leaving your mouth your gone Salvia Cult said it well. Salvia is balls out or nothing, like either you trip nuts or just feel uncomfortable My friend took one bong rip and I loaded the rest and put it in front of him and he refused to do it because he "felt weird", if he would have taken the rip the weird would have left and the trip would have set in Consider that first rip like cocking the gun, and then second like firing the gun into a different dimension And yeah I like to think myself experienced with salvia, I really like it. I like that you feel basically normal after 25 minutes, it lets me get into my trip, I really want to start controlling what I see and interact with - I guess 10 grams should be enough LOL
I've never done a 2-hitter tbh...but then I really push my lungs to the limit when taking a salvia hit, half of my effects probably come from oxygen deprivation! Never been able to control where I go on the trip, but I have started to notice a familiarity to where I go each time...apparently in the "I'm back...oh wait I'm not" haze I was once asked where I went and I said "just saying hello to [unintelligible word] again"
Dude, 5x will make you slap yourself. Go for the 5x and do it with friends or in a chill smoke in front of the television or not. Some people don't like the T.V. on.?
salvia has a very wide range of effect on different people. I can tell you from personal experience i have never thought that a drug could do what 20x did to me. Absolutely blasted me into another dimension, a life changing experience
Hell yeah, I remember the 2 days after my trip I was just thinking deep into the mechanics of life... It was life changing I like some really quiet music, a very low lit room and a few trip sitters
Yeah but how much does that cost you? Technically im getting a 120x dose for $54 40x * 3 = 120x Doses become too difficult to control when you get up that high, id rather just two a double hit of 40x instead of using 80x
Okkkkay. Well my stuff went out on Tuesday, its now Friday and still nothing. The last status is "Processed through sort facility, Sacramento, CA" It should have been here by now, I could have driven up to the facility in 15 hours And this sucks because all my extra cash is already spent on this, so right now I have nothing. No lettuce. Oh well now is the time to break a tolerance, 3 more days till I toke with my buddies on a trip, then I dont know. Hopefully Ill get this saliva either in a few hours, or early next week... I was really thinking USPS would get this shit to me faster, I'm wondering if it got lost in the mail or swiped? It's a pretty valuable package - I have insurance on it at least
I've been curious about trying Salvia. But I'm scared to because of all the crazy stories I've heard..
You can always test the waters with a low dose first (5x, 10x) I mean I'm pretty used to 40x It aint all that bad, just get some friends who wont laugh at you when your tripping (most do, mainly those who havent experienced Salvia lol) because that shit can be freaky, dim the lights, kill the music (think about what can be seen in a scary way) and just take a few hits and chill Think about it, worst case scenario your having a bad trip for 5 minutes and you have people around you (that if you trust) that wont let any thing bad hapen Those Youtube videos that make people look like they have down syndrome are like first timers on 60x or more... Salvia is "weird" in that your body works differently, its hard to express thoughts, and shit is just SO funny you can help but burst out laughing, like Nitrous Oxide, but a lot more potent for a shorter time Even if you do a lower dose you will still have this nice afterglow effect, your just happy, life is good, you feel ALIVE! I don't think salvia can really be compared to any other drug

TITLE RESOLUTION APPROVING EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE OF FLORIDA TO REMIT $497,686 FOR MEDICAID-FUNDED HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED BY MOUNT SINAI MEDICAL CENTER OF FLORIDA, INC. UNDER COUNTY CONTRACT RFP429A AND APPROVING A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH MOUNT SINAI MEDICAL CENTER OF FLORIDA, INC. TO CREDIT MIAMI-DADE COUNTY $509,142 FOR SERVICES RENDERED BODY WHEREAS, this Board desires to accomplish the purposes outlined in the accompanying memorandum, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference; and WHEREAS, this Board desires to contribute to the State of Florida to increase reimbursement for the provision of Medicaid funded health sources for the greater good of the community, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this Board approves the Letter of Agreement with the State of Florida for Medicaid-funded health services and Supplemental Agreement No. 5 to Contract 429a, in substantially the form attached hereto and made a part hereof, and authorizes the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to execute same for and on behalf of Miami-Dade County and to exercise any cancellation and renewal provisions and any other rights contained therein. HEADER Date: To: Honorable Chairman Joe A. Martinez and Members, Board of County Commissioners From: Alina T. Hudak County Manager Subject: Resolution Approving a Letter of Agreement with the State of Florida to remit $497,686 for Increased Reimbursement for Medicaid-Funded Health Services Provided by Mount Sinai Medical Center of Florida, Inc. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommendation It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the attached resolution approving a Letter of Agreement with the State of Florida to remit $497,686 for increased Medicaid reimbursement for Medicaid-funded health services provided by Mount Sinai Medical Center of Florida, Inc., (Mount Sinai) and approve a contract amendment to Contract No. 429A with Mount Sinai for employee medical assessment testing to credit Miami-Dade County $509,142 for services rendered as of August 2010. Scope Mount Sinai is located in Commission District 4. Its service area is countywide. Fiscal Impact/Funding Source The fiscal impact of the $497,686 is budget neutral due to the $497,686 being credited to Miami-Dade County (plus an added $11,456 to cover UAP and IG Fees) from the Employee Medical Testing in Contract No. 429A. Track Record/Monitor Mount Sinai is a not-for-profit hospital, providing $91 million in charity and uncompensated care last year. It is one of nine statutory teaching hospitals in Florida. MANAGER'S BACKGROUND Background On June 3, 2010 the Board approved R-653-10, a similar agreement for Mount Sinai, but since the terms of that agreement were for a singular payment, this request must come back to the Board for approval. Through the State's Medicaid "buyback" program, contributions from local governments result in a higher Medicaid reimbursement rate for public hospitals, teaching hospitals, and those hospitals serving a disproportionately large Medicaid population. Currently, the County also participates in the "buyback program" through Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH). This agreement will not affect JMH's reimbursement. If approved, the County can use a $509,142 credit from employee medical assessment testing fees due to Mount Sinai to remit $497,686 of these funds, on behalf of Mount Sinai, to the Medicaid "buy back" program. The $497,686 would then be eligible, through an Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) payment, for federal matching dollars as coordinated through the State of Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. This remittance by the County, on behalf of Mount Sinai, for the State's Medicaid "buyback" program is only made possible through our current contractual relationship and therefore the County will have no additional liability to Mount Sinai beyond this singular payment. The Board approved Contract No. 429A with Mount Sinai for employee medical assessment testing on December 2, 2004. Under the contract, Mount Sinai performs employment physical examinations for County employees and applicants. This contract expired in December 2010 but services have continued under supplemental agreements. |
