I take it that means you can't wash your boat.........I foresee a lot of empty berths.

I found this on noonsite:
It is a bit old now, but at least may give you a lead to start getting some more information. I myself am in Marmaris and have not heard anything recently about the scheme.

Yacht Marina are broadcast at 9 am on Chanel 69 VHF most mornings, warning of fine if you don't have blue card and dispose of waist at disposal sites,also if you email the main office they will send you details of the new law.

Transit Log
I have been trying to get a new Transit Log here in Marmaris this week and its proven not to be possible to get one with out a Blue Card,so looks like its now law.
I will have to fit larger tanks to hold all the waist, the rule say 50 lit per person per day is what they think we use that means for 2 people for a week is 700 lit.
Thats a big tank but they will need you to prove that you are pumping that amount each week and it will be recorded on the Blue Card,God knows how much they are going to charge for the pumping out,
Well we do not have the funds to change the boat to comply with these new Regs and it all looks a bit of a rip off because when you got the card they can charge what they like for the pump-out .

Have pumped out several times at Marin Turk in Gocek this year.
Started off free, but they are now charging 20TL for pump out. This seems a standard charge no matter how many holding tanks are emptied.
The pump out machine does not appear to have any way of measuring how much waste has actually been discharged.

How do the fish go to the loo then?I'd miss my compost heap

Are these pump-outs mobile? or do you have to up sticks each time? We are currently on our way to Netsel for the winter, is there anyone there who can let us know how it's done there?

I am led to understand that there are some mobile units, but the one in Netsel wasn't able to fit down the gangways to the pontoons.
As yet, I have had no feedback on whether Netsel is doing the same as the new folk at Yat Marin seem to be doing with the transit log (or indeed the Grey Water issue). Indeed we had no issues with getting a new Transit Log last month and the boat was chartered without problems a week after us (thus needing another TL).
I always thought that this was just for the Gocek area, but am dismayed to see in looking back through Google, that it is to be piloted for the whole of Mugla area ie. Bodrum to Fethiye.
Guess a lot of folk will be looking in to relocating to Finike then.

Black and Gray Tanks
I found this on the net may be of help.
All boats must have black and grey water tanks, both with deck fittings that enable them to be pumped out. There is to be no discharge into Turkish waters.
The blue card is to be issued by Harbour Masters and marinas after they have checked that both black and grey tanks are fitted and that no water from any sink etc runs into the sea. It will contain details of the yacht and crew.
All discharge must be done by pumping out at one of 30 stations sited strategically in marinas and harbours throughout the region.
The blue card will be digitally updated with the pumped out volume of both grey and black water.
The Coastguard and other enforcement agencies can demand the blue card, read it electronically and see when tanks were last pumped out and how many litres were pumped out. This allows then to check that you are not secret dischargers into the sea.
There are special regulations covering the Gocek area bays, prohibiting the use of anchors. Use of fixed mooring buoys will be compulsory, for a maximum of 11 days (outside marinas). The number of vessels in the area may be restricted. Cooking on deck and ashore is prohibited.

Yonas Lab creates screening tests for 'face blindness'
In a recent MinnPost article, Al Yonas, professor in the Institute of Child Development, describes his research on developing screening tests for children with "face blindness," a neurological disorder that makes kids unable to remember faces. Developmental prosopagnosia, the scientific name for the disorder, occurs in up to 2 percent of the population according to some estimates.
Yonas's lab and that of Harvard University psychologist Ken Nakayama recently received grants from the National Eye Institute to create screening tests for children with the disorder -- tests that may make it possible to diagnosis prosopagnosia at a very early age, when treatments might be most effective. Yonas is hoping to identify about 30 children who suffer from the disorder to work with them.
"The goal is to find these children and get them down here to establish that they're really suffering from the problem -- and then engage them in a training program," Yonas says in the article.

A special memo from John C. Bogle celebrating Vanguard's 40th anniversary on September 24, 2014.
To: Veterans and Principals
From: John C. Bogle
Date: September 9, 2014
Re: Will it ever stop?
The more that I expect it to slow down, the more the attention given to Vanguard in the media seems to speed up. Enclosed are some more recent articles highlighting our success and commitment to clients.
- Investors Pour Into Vanguard, Eschewing Stock Pickers, by Kirsten Grind, The Wall Street Journal, August 20, 2014. This article points out an upcoming milestone for Vanguard: $3 trillion in global assets under management. Also highlighted is Warren Buffett's recommendation of Vanguard 500 Index Fund for his wife's investment portfolio, and the $5 billion of cash flow it helped to generate for the fund. It also includes my quip in an email to Warren that I am now described as, "the second best salesman at Vanguard."
- Vanguard's Rise To No. 2 ETF Firm Matters, by Olivier Ludwig, ETF.com, August 19, 2014. In this generous article, Olly Ludwig anticipates that Vanguard will soon take over the second ranking in U.S. ETF market share. He comments that, "the reason we should all celebrate the rise of Vanguard and Vanguard ETFs is because it shows that investors are truly getting a fair shake." He concludes, "we really should be thankful that 40 years ago John Bogle thought the time was right to truly put investors' interests first."
- Review of The Man in the Arena, by Murad J. Antia, CFA, Financial Analysts Journal, July/August 2014. This highly complimentary review of The Man in the Arena, the recent book about my legacy in the mutual fund industry, edited by Knut A. Rostad, concludes: John C. Bogle … has been at the forefront of the revolution that has democratized the investment landscape by first creating a mutual organization, a company owned by its investor clients. He has tirelessly imparted the message that investors would be far wealthier if they invested in low-cost index funds. Yes, that's the Vanguard message.
- Fund Scandal Ripples, Even a Decade Later, by Tom Lauricella, The Wall Street Journal, September 8, 2014. This article recalls the mutual fund market-timing scandals of a decade ago. I am quoted in the article as saying that the fund industry's focus on investors "has improved, but we still have a long way to go."
- Think of Social Security As an Investment, Says Vanguard Founder, by Dan McSwain, U-T San Diego, September 6, 2014. In this extensive interview, the journalist describes my views about indexing and the importance of low costs for long-term investors. Also discussed is my view that Social Security must be taken into account by investors when constructing their asset allocations.
- 3 Smart Moves for Retirement Investors from the Bogleheads, by Penelope Wang, Money, August 18, 2014. This feature article points out that the second edition of The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing is being released, and shares some tips for developing an effective investment strategy. Says one of the unofficial leaders of the Bogleheads, Mel Lindauer, "one of the main advantages of being a Boglehead—we remind people to stay the course."
When you have a spare moment (?), please enjoy these stories, and feel free to send copies of this note and the attachments to your colleagues and friends. As usual, by week's end, they'll also be published on my eBlog, www.johncbogle.com.
Welcome back from what I hope has been a refreshing summer vacation for you and your families.

Re: Even More Great "PR"
I'm sending along some "summer reading," ranging from articles I've penned for academic journals to wonderful acknowledgements in the popular press of Vanguard's values and success.
- No Speed Limits: High-Frequency Trading and Flash Boys,Journal of Portfolio Management, Summer 2014. The editors of the JPM asked me to provide an editorial comment on all of the attention given to high-frequency trading (HFT) in the press since the publication of Michael Lewis's book Flash Boys. In this editorial, I try to bring some clarity and perspective to the debate.
- Who Are Your Investment Role Models? The Wall Street Journal, August 12, 2014. A complimentary entry in "The Experts" series. Four of these six commentators salute Vanguard, and graciously mention me as being among their role models and investment heroes—even an "investment superhero."
- Rules of the Fund Road: Watch the Fees, and Don't Look Back,by Jeff Sommer, The New York Times, June 1, 2014. One more example of a journalist who "gets it," this article discusses a Morningstar study which, once again, suggests that low-cost investing works. It closes with a nice JCB quote.
- The High Price of Investing in a Hedge Fund, by Gus Sauter, The Wall Street Journal, August 5, 2014. In another installment of "The Experts," Vanguard's Gus Sauter talks about how high costs damage the returns of hedge funds. Gus kindly works in a quote that will surely be familiar to those who regularly read my writings.
- Heads or Tails? Either Way, You Might Beat a Stock Picker,by Jeff Sommer, The New York Times, July 27, 2007. This story cites data showing that only 2 out of 2,862 diversified U.S. stock funds were able to outperform their peers consistently over five years.
- Bogle's Legacy: Returns that Trounce Active Investing,by Mitch Tuchman, MarketWatch, August 7, 2014. An entry in the "Retirementors" series, this article emphasizes the importance of broad diversification and low costs, while challenging readers to identify portfolios that can beat Vanguard's LifeStrategy Funds on a risk-adjusted basis.
- Vanguard Funds Prosper by Low-Cost Evangelism,by Pauline Skypala, Financial Times, July 14, 2014. This powerful article from the UK's leading business and investing daily generously appraises our truly mutual structure and our dedication to low costs, while pointing out that non-US investors often pay excessive fees.
- Swedroe: Bogle May Be Right about ETFs,by Larry Swedroe, ETF.com, July 16, 2014. Author and financial advisor Larry Swedroe discusses a study by five German economists that found an astonishing gap between the returns enjoyed by investors in ETFs versus the non-ETF portions of their portfolios. According to the study, their ETF returns were some 5% per year lower (!) than their non-ETF returns, an astonishing underperformance.
- Practice Makes Imperfect,Buttonwood, The Economist, August 9, 2014. This article discusses a study that shows, perhaps unsurprisingly, that very few active managers outperform persistently over the long term. The paper concludes that, "even long-term managers show no ability to beat the market on a risk-adjusted basis." What's remarkable about this article is that it discusses topics that I've covered for decades, going back at least to my 1993 book, Bogle on Mutual Funds. As you know, those original ideas have gained remarkable acceptance in the recent era.
- The Arithmetic of 'All-In' Investment Expenses: A Comment and Author Response,Financial Analysts Journal, May/June 2014. An advisor from Morgan Stanley wrote a letter to the editor of the FAJ regarding my January/February 2014 article about the huge negative impact of the costs of active investing vs. index investing over the long term. The advisor argues that many individual investors have limitations on their time, access to information, and cognitive abilities that justify the costs of working with a financial advisor to select active funds. In my response, I present data showing that investors in passive index fund generally fare much better than those who invest in actively managed funds. I also point out evidence that suggests that investors working with brokers may actually underperform investors who manage their portfolios themselves.
* * *
I know that you share my gratification to see that the values that have been fundamental to Vanguard for so many years are increasingly accepted in the press as today's conventional wisdom. The benefits to investors of investing the Vanguard way are enormous.
Enjoy these articles, and enjoy the precious few remaining weeks of summer.
Best, always,
July 9, 2014
To: My Fellow Vanguard Veterans and Principals
My 63rd Anniversary
Monday, July 9, 1951, was the first day of my long career in the mutual fund industry. I vividly remember walking into the Wellington Fund offices on 1420 Walnut Street in Philadelphia. I was a bit nervous (of course!) and wondered what the future had in store for this recent graduate of Princeton University's Class of 1951.
I was wise to wonder! Little could I have imagined that I would remain with Wellington/ Vanguard for 63 years. Little could I have imagined what surprises and challenges, what successes and failures, what growth and what changes in Wellington lay before me during that long span. Much of what was to follow was due to the ethical values and financial wisdom of my great mentor and friend, Walter L. Morgan, who did his best to impart them to his heir-apparent.
Walter L. Morgan, Wellington Fund, and Vanguard
Walter Morgan was the founder and chief of Wellington Fund and Wellington Management Company, and (as I once wrote to him) he gave me his confidence when I had little confidence in myself. Then, Wellington employed maybe 75 people, and supervised $150 million of assets for the shareholders of its single mutual fund. (Tiny by today's standards, but then one of this industry's ten largest firms.)
You all probably know about how my career at Wellington ended (I was fired from my position as chief executive in January 1974), fortuitously opening the door to my creation of Vanguard only seven months later. It was, as they say, the opportunity of a lifetime—a chance to build something new and better for our mutual fund shareholders. The three pillars of our fledging firm were our unique mutual structure, the world's first index mutual fund, and the unprecedented conversion to a distribution system without a sales force. These disruptive innovations reinforced my conviction that, after Ralph Waldo Emerson, "if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door."
The World has Beaten a Path to Our Door
Well, as you know, that's precisely what the world has done. (I'll spare you the numbers on our assets, our growth, our market share, and the triumph of indexing. You all know them.) One day, I expect, I'll revel in our rise to industry preeminence, and bask in the glow of our peerless name and reputation. But not now. I have much work yet to do, much more to accomplish.
I haven't run this firm for many years. When I relinquished my responsibilities as chief executive, I well knew that I no longer had the power of the purse and the power over the persons—our crewmembers—who are largely responsible for, if not exactly what we do as a firm, how we go about doing it. And I salute once again our crewmembers, and especially our veterans, for continuing to maintain our human and ethical values that have been essential to our progress.
The Powers of Leadership
While I was well aware of what power I was relinquishing, I was equally aware of the two vital powers that remained: one is intellectual power, the other is moral power. Still strong, if perhaps diminished (your call on both!), I continue to use those powers to speak out for giving all mutual fund shareholders a better chance to accumulate wealth; for reform in an industry that has come to emphasize marketing over management; for the requirement that every firm that touches other people's money be subject to high standards of fiduciary duty and trusteeship; and for institutional money managers to assume not only the rights of our collective ownership and putative control, but also the responsibility to play a role in the governance of our nation's public corporations.
You may have noticed how few other financial leaders have spoken out on these issues. And you may also have noticed that the media and the public are now calling attention to them. That may help to explain why, without a scintilla of promotion on my part, so much recent attention in the press and on television and radio has been focused on my ideas and our firm's values. My essay, "The Incredibly Shrinking Financial System," in yesterday's Wall Street Journal—its 125th anniversary edition—is just one recent example, if a singularly fine one.
The Bully Pulpit
I'm on vacation as I prepare this 63rd anniversary note, reading a marvelous book: Doris Kearns Goodwin's The Bully Pulpit—Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism. I've been a great admirer of TR for as long as I can remember and have cited him often in my books and speech. I was once again struck by his role in American life during, and even after, his presidency. Here are a few excerpts that I underlined from The Bully Pulpit:
Roosevelt wondered about finding "whom he could trust to carry out his legacy of active moral leadership and progressive reform . . . [who would] make use of . . . the bully pulpit that had provided the key to [TR's] success." He understood that, "the vitality of democracy depends on popular knowledge of complex questions . . . [requiring of us] a better understanding of what it takes to summon the public to demand the actions necessary to bring our country [and, I would add, our financial system] closer to its ancient ideals." That's what TR's bully pulpit, and my own bully pulpit, is all about.
A Personal Note of Thanks
As the days fly on, and as I age, I recognize that the time will come when I will no longer be able to engage in the mission that I have set for myself—to speak out for truth and integrity and character in the world of finance, striving to build a better world for investors—honest-to-God, down-to-earth human beings who deserve a fair shake. One's strength to carry on does not—cannot—go on forever. The spirit is more willing than ever, but the flesh inevitably weakens.
For me, the human beings who have been part of my long career have been by far its most important aspect. Yes, as I have said, "I like human beings better than algorithms," and judgment better than process. (Not that, at our size, we don't require many algorithms and much process. Neither has ever been my strong point!) In its early years, Vanguard was young, beleaguered, and scorned. But by the mid-1980s, we developed the momentum that has continued ever since, built on those same three pillars of our founding.
Especially in those early years, when our success was not assured, I knew that among my highest priorities were the need to always be optimistic, to set the standard for commitment, to communicate openly, and, broadly put, to give our wonderful crew the strength to carry on. Turnabout is fair play, and today it is all of you on the crew who give me the strength to carry on. These have not been the easiest days for me, but I carry on because of your confidence, your respect, your admiration, and (as some of you have said) your love. How could such a life possibly be more rewarding?
A song that tells this very story provides a fine conclusion for this message:
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.
Thanks for that strength. Thanks for being part of this fine firm. Thanks for everything.
Best, always

Recognition for Vanguard and Indexing
The almost overwhelming success of Vanguard and index funds continues to draw attention, not only from investors (over $77 billion of net cash flow so far this year, 95% of which went into our low-cost index funds), but also from the media. Attached are four recent articles noting our success.
- "Bogle Is In The Vanguard Of Mutual Fund Investing," Investor's Business Daily, June 12, 2014. This nice profile highlights the triumph of indexing, and Vanguard's rise to prominence over the last four decades.
- "Facing price wars and robots, wealth managers push advice," Reuters, June 20, 2014. I recently participated in the Global Wealth Management Summit hosted by Reuters. This article stems from that summit, and focuses on the growing market for web-based financial advisory services, such as Vanguard's Personal Advisor Services. Of course, the opening line tickled me: "Jack Bogle, the founder of Vanguard Group and the pioneer of low-cost index investing, has won."
- "Vanguard's Bogle expects shrinking Wall Street," Reuters, June 17, 2014. This article about my thoughts on the future of the financial industry also came out of the Reuters event.
- "Philosophy Differs From Strategy," RickFerri.com, June 16, 2014. Independent financial advisor Rick Ferri writes about how his investment philosophy is based on the realization that trying to beat the markets is "costly and counterproductive," so his investment strategy relies on low-cost index funds.
With all of Vanguard's success over our four decades of existence (we'll celebrate our 40th anniversary on September 24, 2014), it remains critically important that keep our focus on what's best for our clients. I've used this quotation from Shakespeare many times before, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."
Indeed, Vanguard's rise to the pinnacle of the mutual fund industry places a fragile crown on our heads. We must continue to focus on our founding values of stewardship and trusteeship of the assets entrusted to us by our clients.
Enjoy your summer.
Best, always,
May 20, 2014
To Vanguard Principals and Veterans:
As you all must know by now, I regard recognition of Vanguard in The Economist as among the highest possible accolades. This cover story in the issue of May 3, 2014, entitled "Death of the Fund Manager" is one more testimonial to all the good we do here at Vanguard.
Attached are: (1) the opening editorial, "Cheap is Cheerful," and (2) the main story, "Briefing: Fund Management. Will Invest for Food." (Both pieces are informative and insightful. Too bad that the headlines fail to suggest that.)
Despite the accolades for index ("tracker" in the UK) funds, the authors seem unaware of the impact that indexing has already had on Vanguard and the fund industry. Ever irrepressible, I wrote a letter to the editor presenting the data. It's probably too late and long to be published, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it (Attachment 3).
We've come such a long way since we began in 1974. Thank you for all your help in making it happen.

A Remarkable Salute from Investors and CNBC
As many of you have already reported to me, CNBC has ranked me among the top ten people who have had "the most profound impact on business and finance" over the past quarter-century. (CNBC has just begun its second quarter-century.) In this context, I'm sending along two attachments.
1. "Index Mutual Fund Pioneer." The CNBC profile of my long career is remarkably insightful, particularly in its recognition of the role of "Bogle's evangelism." They also identify the often-unrecognized link between Vanguard's truly mutual structure and that first index fund.
However you may feel about the culture of stock market television, I'm actually deeply touched by being placed high (#9) on the CNBC list of "25 transformative leaders, icons, and rebels of the past quarter-century."
NOTE: I've also included a link to the CNBC video on my career. It's just three minutes in length, but professionally done and power-packed.
2. "The List: CNBC First 25." Who are these other icons? Here's the list, led (deservedly, I think) by #1 Steve Jobs and #2 Bill Gates. Interestingly, Warren Buffett (#6) and I (#9) are the only people from the field of investment management (also, in a limited way, Carl Icahn, #17) on this influential list, which includes at least eight leaders from abroad.
One of our crew members called an amusing point to my attention. I'm sandwiched between #8 Mark Zuckerberg (net worth, $28.5 billion) and #10 Larry Ellison (net worth, $48 billion). Last time I looked, I'm well below average (to say the least!) relative to these successful fellows.
* * *
Our organization structure and our index strategy represent the solid core of the reputation we have earned and the trust we have established with investors . . . and with the world. How good it feels to be recognized on the CNBC list of these 25 men and women who have been "the rebels, icons, and leaders in the vanguard (yes!) of that change," from yesteryear's era of business and finance to today's.
Enjoy! Always,

Re: More Recognition for Our Firm, Part II
This follow-up note to my mailing of April 10 includes five more recent articles from the press:
1) "Vanguard Founder Discusses How to Invest." This interview in Investor's Business Daily was published on April 2. While several of the quotes are a bit casual (if not mystifying!), the overall tone of the story is highly positive.
2) "Michael Lewis is Wrong About Rigged Markets." Jonathan Berr's April 3 story in Moneywatch is yet one more contribution(?) to the huge publicity campaign that kicked-off Flash Boys. While I didn't have the benefit of knowing the opinion of later commentators, my position is not much different from those of Burton Malkiel, Arthur Levitt, Morningstar's John Rekenthaler, and other thought leaders.
3) "On Smart Beta, Smart Skeptics." James Green's thoughtful story in Investment Advisor magazine (March 31, 2014). Of course, my response is blunt—smart beta is a "marketing gimmick." Might as well be honest!
4) "Vanguard Beats BlackRock . . ." Christopher Condon's article in Bloomberg Business Week (April 1, 2014) is one more long, well, "commercial" for our firm, its mission, and the work we all do. It is surely a rare quarter when we capture 90%(!) of all ETF cash flows as we did in the three months ended March 31, 2014, but of course there's a message there.
5) "The Inevitable Standard." Investment News, April 7, 2014. The "Inevitable Standard" cited in Mark Schoeff Jr.'s perceptive story is a federal standard of fiduciary duty—something I've been seeking for many years. I'm certain that my dream will come true . . . some day.
Keep fighting the good fight!

Re: More Recognition for Our Firm
The spate of attention focused on Vanguard that took me three consecutive mailings to send you (on March 4, March 5, and March 6, 2014) subsided. But, surprisingly, it resumed about 10 days ago, although this note requires only two mailings. This is the first such mailing; the second will be circulated on Tuesday, April 15.
1) "The Inspiration for John Bogle's Great Invention." On March 5, The Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch began a series called "Things Written Long Ago That I Wish I Had Read Long Ago." The first essay in the series was columnist George Sisti's piece on Paul Samuelson's essay, "Challenge to Judgment," published in the very first issue of The Journal of Portfolio Management in 1974. As many of you know, it was this essay that helped inspire the creation of the world's first index mutual fund. To this day, I remember in considerable detail this remarkable piece, and the credibility that this brilliant Nobel Laureate brought to my forthcoming creation.
2) "You Don't Know Jack: The Education of Jack Bogle." On April 4, the Philadelphia Business Journal published this lengthy interview, focused on Vanguard's history and my long career. Perhaps I was a bit too honest in responding to the final question, but that kind of candor is a small price to pay for the credibility that Vanguard has established with the press and the public.
3) "Bogle: Tilt To Corporates for More Yield." Olly Ludwig, financial editor of ETF.com (formerly IndexUniverse.com, not, for me, a happy change!) covers a wide range of issues relating to Vanguard and the fund industry. Some of the numbers are a bit garbled, but you'll get the point. Despite another bit of controversy, stories don't get much more positive for our firm than this one.
Happy reading! More to come.

Re: The Cascade of Press Coverage Abates . . . for a Moment.
Part III
As promised yesterday, just a single final addition to the recent flurry of favorable public recognition of Vanguard. (Part I, March 4, 2014. The ECONOMIST and The Financial Analysts Journal—"The Arithmetic of 'All-In' Investment Expenses." Part II, March 5, 2014. The Warren Buffett endorsement, etc.)
In Part III, "Finance in Philadelphia–Leadership, Decline, Renaissance," I'm sending along a major speech on the role of our Greater Philadelphia region in contributing to America's economy. As you will note, Vanguard is now the leader of our region's recent renaissance. In that role, each of us here has an obligation to represent our community with knowledge of the past, dedication to high standards, and conduct characterized by integrity and humility.
The text of the speech is preceded by an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer on February 7, 2014, reporting on the forum in which I delivered my remarks. One local journalist described my essay as "excellent, revelatory reading. I love the irony of how the Quaker precept of thrift has returned to fashion, thanks to Vanguard, vision, and perseverance." My historical perspective begins with Robert Morris in 1776 (and, in the same year, the wisdom of Adam Smith).

I honestly don't like this app. The reason I got it was to be able to update and log on-the-go, but I can't. To update diet and activity, it tells me to log into the website, so what is the point of the app? The only thing I can do is view what I entered in the computer.
(32 stars)
Been using it for over a year. It tracks everything ok. It could use a lot of updating and a whole lot of user interface changes to make it easier to use. Anytime Fitness is such a great company that you would expect their presence here on this app to be reflected, it is not. This is a good starting point but not where you expect to be for them.

The date is correct but it lists all the diet and activities from the day before. If this could be fixed then I would use it.

Timelords Fleet Welcomes All

Hello stalkers of the forum/searchers of a fleet. my name is Captain Pirko, Timelords Command.
we're slightly on the small size for a fleet, but have almost 20 pretty active members.
why should you join Timelords? well let me put it this way. if your new to the game, joining a big fleet might mean getting slightly ignored unless active and contributing alot. this is very hard for someone fresh to the game.
small fleets doesnt mean inexperienced. we run fleet STFs constantly, and even training PVP events for those interested. we have guides to how to gear your ship on our forums, and are more then willing to help you test in-game. if you need help with missions, or some sort of side objective such as dilithium, we'll be able to help.
alternatively, if your an old time veteran to the game, and your dis-satisfied with your last fleet, let me suggest that joining a fleet such as this one might be more fun then a larger or smaller fleet. we have enough people for lots of socializing, yet not large enough that someone could get forgotten among the crowds.
our fleet has plenty of veterans, and newcomers willing to help eachother out. we're a relaxed fleet, so you wont be required to participate in anything you dont feel like doing.
signup is easy, just head over to our website at
and check out the forums

"Better put the prosthesis on in the hospital." Lee whispered to JS who translated.
"Do you have a larger ship?" the Drag leader asked (Eve had discovered Dragalien was a derogatory name).
JS nodded: "I have a cruiser up there."
"Why didn't you land her?"
"I thought it an intimidating way to introduce myself. We're here to understand, not to threaten. Moreover the spaceport facilities are crumbling, but more about that later. The pixies are under my wing, now, and the Drags aren't known as cruel mercs..."
"How do you know that?" Drok stepped in.
JS stared at him coldly: "I know, believe me. So, how did you start raiding?"
"It's a long story." a Drag said.
"I've time, but the space station is running out of gas. Do you like we land it softly? It will be operative without GUNESCO aids."
After a discussion the leader said: "We accept your offer, if there are no charges for us."
"We do it for free, we just need to be told where a suitable place is." After some considerations a solution was found. Eve meanwhile was playing with the dragons that seemed fascinated by her.
"You are friends, I see." JS thought.
"They are like teens." Eve smiled. "I'm learning their tongue."
"Answering to your question, this world, as you see it, had been engineered by our ancestors, but GUNESCO doesn't accept it. This is our problem." the chief muttered. Eve goggled and he went on:
"Millennia ago our ancestors tamed the dragons and culled the breed. The dragons ..." the chief broke off. "No, I'll show you. Want to ride a dragon?"
"I was hoping you asked!" JS grinned. The chief chose an old female that was patting Eve on her hand.
"We're going to the hatchery, the dragons' sanctuary."
From the dragon's back JS noted that, under a dense canopy of huge trees, most of the planet was a fen. Where there were clearings in the canopy, there the dragons made their nests. When they reached the hatchery, most eggs had just hatched. Small dragons with still fragile and transparent wings fought each other in their nests, while others tried to fly. In the marsh below huge crocodiles feasted on the doomed little dragons who came at range.
Their dragon let out a shrill cry.
"There!" Eve pointed out. "Help him, Jay!"
A young dragon was perching on a low branch with a fish in the mouth, unaware that a croc had spotted him.
One of JS's blows got the croc in the eye. "Nice to play Darwin!" he quipped.
"In their nests young dragons fight until only one survives, albeit not always the strongest because some slips, others fall trying to fly. Few make it. We choose the eggs of the strongest ones to mature in a safe place, you can sort them out from their colour."
"Cannot you take out the crocs?" Eve asked.
"They're useful, too." The Drag answered. "When the dragons are strong enough, it's the crocs' hatching time, and the dragons eat the crocs' eggs and offspring and the crocs become stronger. It's a croc-dragon balance."
"But if GUNESCO prevents you from take action, this planet will perish." JS summed up.
The Drag nodded sadly. "GUNESCO also forbids us to cultivate the floating islands, our cultivable land. Gas biosynthesizing symbiotic rhizobia grow on the roots of those large trees. The dragons get drunk eating the rhizobium nodules. We learned to grow them and now they produce so much gas that the trees with their cloth of earth are floating in the sky. If an island flies too high the bacteria die and the island falls, so we learned to extract the gas and use it as fuel. When the spaceships arrived, we did business selling our products and buying food. Our population grew. It was a golden age, but GUNESCO dispossessed us of our own planet. 'Industrialized!' they spitted it like a bad word. So we tried to survive becoming mercs. This year the dragons didn't take their nuptial flights, our planet is dying."
On Regulus 8 the Rogue Council of Scientists informed the Admiral: "We are ready, sir."

ClassicsOnline Home » BRITTEN: Violin Concerto / Cello Symphony
Penguin Guide
By Malcolm Hayes
Classic FM
"A very different product of the war years was the Britten Violin Concerto, completed in Canada in 1939 and featuring , along with his later Cello Symphony, on a fine disc from Naxos. Noth works, among Britten's finest, are also among his darkest. The Violin Concerto combines a serious technical challenge for the soloist with a poignant anti-virtuoso manner that's startlingly original. Rebecca Hirsch plays it with power, loveliness and fine command of some of the more appalling difficulties. In the Cello Symphony, written for Rostropovich, Tim Hugh has fearsome competition from the Russian master himself, and Julian Lloyd Webber, but the strength and intelligence of his playing hold their own well, as do the BBC Scottish Symphony Orhcestra's accompaniment under Takuo Yuasa. An outstanding bargain."
Benjamin Britten
Violin Concerto; Cello
What's in a name? Is
it just piquant coincidence that one of Britain's greatest composers was called
– Britten? Benjamin Britten's beloved mother certainly saw significance in her
married surname: extolling the 'three Bs' – Bach, Beethoven and Brahms – she
was 'determined' the fourth would be Britten. Benjamin was her fourth child,
born, auspiciously, on November 22nd – St Cecilia's Day, feast day of the
patron saint of music.
The future composer's
childhood home faced the North Sea in Lowestoft, the most easterly town in
Britain. Britten loved his native Suffolk, feeling 'firmly rooted in this
glorious county'; he could have added the words of fisherman Peter Grimes in
his most famous opera '…by familiar fields, marsh and sand, ordinary streets,
prevailing wind'. What drew Britten and his lover and muse, the tenor Peter
Pears, back from their new life in America in the early 1940s? Britten's
rediscovery of the Suffolk poet George Crabbe, whose The Borough inspired
Peter Grimes. Where did Britten and Pears settle? That very 'Borough',
Aldeburgh, another Suffolk coastal town which, thanks to Britten, has been home
since 1948 to one of Britain's finest music festivals. He found 'working
becomes more and more difficult away from that home'.
A quintessentially
English, provincial composer, then? Far from it. After Britten's death The
Times acclaimed him 'the first British composer to capture and hold the
attention of musicians and their audiences the world over'. Britten's technical
brilliance and openness to continental trends distinguished him from the start.
In the 1920s the precocious 13-year-old – pianist, viola-player and already
prolific composer (shades of Mozart) – was fortunate to find a composition
teacher in Frank Bridge, virtually the only British composer with a sympathy
for the central European avant-garde of Schoenberg, Berg and Bartók, or
neo-classical Stravinsky. To those models Britten added Mahler and Shostakovich. No
wonder the conservative Royal College of Music, which he attended from 1930,
suffered culture shock, especially when Britten proposed to use a travel grant
to study with Berg. (He didn't).
The mainstay of Britten's international appeal is the stream of operatic
masterpieces initiated by Peter Grimes in 1945; but they, and his other
Pears-inspired vocal music, mask further important creative strands: pieces for
young people and instrumental music. True, for a decade in mid-career Britten
wrote practically nothing substantial without voices; but before Grimes his
chamber and orchestral compositions outnumbered vocal works two to one; and
after 1960 musical friendships revitalised that interest. This recording
couples products of both 'instrumental' periods – kindred pieces, sharing
Britten's conviction that each (when he wrote it) was his finest, and roots in
his rapport with particular soloists.
The Spanish violinist Antonio Brosa met Britten through Frank Bridge in
the early thirties; following the Suite, Op. 6, the Violin
Concerto (1938-9, revised 1950s) was the second Britten piece Brosa
premièred – in 1940, Barbirolli conducting the New York Philharmonic at
Carnegie Hall. Started during the Spanish Civil War, finished four weeks into
the Second World War – when the pacifist Britten wrote, 'it's at times like
these that work is so important, that humans can think of other things than
blowing each other up' – the music is 'rather serious, I'm afraid'. Its dark
mood and tripartite structure, virtuosic scherzo flanked by more lyrical
movements, suggest another British violin concerto from 1938-9 first heard in
the non-combatant U.S.A. – Walton's; Britten's initial drum motif (a 'Spanish
rhythm', Brosa said) suggests a violin concerto classic – Beethoven's. This
rhythm survives the first movement's struggle, the violin's meditative opening
melody triumphing over its biting, would-be-
By consensus Britten's
orchestral zenith, the Symphony for Cello and Orchestra (1963) recreates
the Cadenza-Passacaglia conclusion and focus on D; its inspiration,
dedicatee, champion, was the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich.
Rostropovich's British première of Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 in
1960 brought Britten new friendships with both composer and soloist;
Rostropovich's artistry – plus artful persuasive powers in his pidgin
'Aldeburgh Deutsch'(!) – drew more music from Britten than any other performer
save Pears: a sonata, three unaccompanied suites (recorded by Tim Hugh on Naxos
8.553663) and this 'Symphony'. Not 'Concerto': witness its four-movement form,
scant conventional solo virtuosity, and character: 'an argument on equal
terms', Britten said – like Frank Bridge's cello and orchestra Oration. Premièred,
appropriately, in Moscow, the Cello Symphony epitomises Britten's new
stylistic economy following his kaleidoscopic opera A Midsummer Night's
Dream and all-embracing War Requiem (Naxos 8.553558-59): everything
grows from the simplest intervals – seconds, thirds. Contrabassoon, tuba,
double basses, percussion below, keening woodwind above, the cello speaks
freely, eloquently. The eerie scherzo's ceaseless evolution contrasts
with the (for Britten) unusually strict sonata-form first movement, but
redoubles its tragic drama. The profound slow movement and Cadenza's common
themes germinate the Passacaglia's solo-led repeating bass and brilliant
D major trumpet melody, which kindle the glorious final apotheosis: darkness
into light.

James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.

Austenesque author Maria Grace has written five Regency-era novels inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, notably the Given Good Principles series and Remember the Past: …only as it gives you pleasure. Writing period accurate novels requires extensive research, so it seems only logical that Maria should turn her hand to nonfiction. Her latest book, A Jane Austen Christmas, focuses on Regency-era holiday traditions. Here is a preview and exclusive excerpt for your enjoyment.
PREVIEW (from the publisher's description)
Many Christmas traditions and images of 'old fashioned' holidays are based on Victorian celebrations. Going back just a little further, to the beginning of the 19th century, the holiday Jane Austen knew would have looked distinctly odd to modern sensibilities.
How odd? Families rarely decorated Christmas trees. Festivities centered on socializing instead of gift-giving. Festivities focused on adults, with children largely consigned to the nursery. Holiday events, including balls, parties, dinners, and even weddings celebrations, started a week before Advent and extended all the way through to Twelfth Night in January.
Take a step into history with Maria Grace as she explores the traditions, celebrations, games and foods that made up Christmastide in Jane Austen's era. Packed with information and rich with detail from period authors, Maria Grace transports the reader to a longed-for old fashioned Christmas.

Matt Towery became the first and only Republican to preside over the Democratically controlled Georgia House prior to leaving politics in 1997.
Towery is an attorney, businessman and successful author. His first major book, Powerchicks: How Women Will Dominate America, received national attention in publications ranging from The Washington Post to Ladies Home Journal. Matt Towery has appeared on national programs ranging from ABC's "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher," FOX News' "The O'Reilly Factor," CNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews," NBC's "Leeza," and CNN's "Talk Back Live" and "Inside Politics with Judy Woodruff."

That's the real message, isn't it?
In recent presidential primary cycles, the influence of Southern states -- with the exception of Florida, whose "Southern status" is perhaps more locational than anything else -- has been minimal.
It's interesting and important to note that former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's comment about a stock market potentially built upon "irrational exuberance" did not coincide with a drop in the markets.
The late soul singer James Brown used to call himself the hardest-working man in showbiz. Now another Georgian, a U.S. senator, is proving to be the hardest-working man in his line of work.
Every week I read stories about how the stock market is going to crash and our economy will soon melt down in a more dramatic manner than it did in late 2007. I generally dismiss these as just one person's opinion, backed up by convoluted assumptions.
The "new" Hillary Clinton, branded "Hillary 2.0" by some political pundits, seems at first blush the same Hillary Clinton of Bill Clinton's presidency and of her unsuccessful 2008 presidential bid. But conservatives who bemoan the years of Barack Obama must carefully consider how they approach Ms. Clinton in 2016.

But conservatives who bemoan the years of Barack Obama must carefully consider how they approach Ms. Clinton in 2016.
The famed Kentucky Derby will soon be upon us. As usual, it will be a colorful and fast race that could be won by a favorite or by an against-all-odds dark horse. It's ironic that the race is held in the same state in which U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, now a candidate for the presidency, resides.
Corporate leaders and chambers of commerce are at war with those evangelical Christians who have decided to reassert themselves in the Republican political process. This war is eerily reminiscent of an earlier time when there was friction between the business wing of the GOP and Christian activists.
In Dealing with Racism and Anti-Semitism, Coffee Cups Can't Replace Action.
They say that all politics is local, and a new poll suggests that when it comes to trusting their TV news sources, Americans feel the same way.
If you want to know why the stock market keeps rising and falling this year, it's all about "fear" that the Federal Reserve will finally raise the non-existent interest rate by 25 basis points sometime this summer. Trust me, if that's all Wall Street has to worry about, then they are doing fine.
Conservatives are not fooled by floorshows and half-baked schemes designed to appease them. And if talk is cheap, then the words that have come from most Republicans in Congress must surely be discounted to less than $1.99.
What a coincidence. In a matter of one week, numerous national newspapers decided to "profile" Columba Bush, wife of former Florida Governor and now all but certain presidential candidate Jeb Bush. Basically, they were all unnecessary, irrelevant and even downright silly stories.
The old rule of thumb has been that dovish presidents were a big negative for the so-called "military industrial complex."
It sounds so fair and so right. Just like health care for everyone, under a plan in which "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."
I never thought the day would come when I would agree with anything Debbie Wasserman Schulz had to say, but a recent report in Politico has changed all that.
Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga) is by profession a physician, and a quiet and thoughtful man. For years he has led his colleagues in developing Republican policy in the House, and while he would appear to be a bit like the policy wonk, he has an ability to turn into a "superman" when it comes to taking strong conservative positions.
ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- Outside of the D.C. and New York areas, it is hard for a daily newspaper to influence the ongoing conversation and debate during a presidential campaign season. But one paper arguably reaches that level, particularly in regard to the upcoming race for the Republican nomination for president.
I never thought that I would see the day that two beloved American icons, Coca-Cola and McDonald's, would be forced to run from their own products and great traditions.

Pilothouse--Are Builders Missing Market?
Check out the Nauticat line of boats made by Siltala in Finland. www.nauticat.com Pilothouse boats are all they make.
Their older models are not known for sailing ability -- being kind here. But supposedly their newer models stress sailing performance. I know a fellow who just bought a Nauticat 37 and I want to verify with him how it sails. I''ve seen him out and about on the river here but haven''t been in touch with him yet.
Also check out the Pacific Seacraft 32, another Crealock design, and a pilothouse to boot.
Some manufacturers are coming out with "deck salon" models that might meet this requirement, although I''m not sure they all have an inside steering stations. Dehler and Jeanneau come to mind for DS models.
I think the problem has been that pilothouses have been aimed at areas with lots of rainy, cool weather, and not at the market at large. Pacific Seacraft has been surprised that so many of its 32''s were sold in Fla. That ought to tell the industry something.

COLUMBIA, SC - OCTOBER 30: Head coach Derek Dooley of the Tennessee Volunteers watches on against the South Carolina Gamecocks during their game at Williams-Brice Stadium on October 30, 2010 in Columbia, South Carolina. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee has fired football coach Derek Dooley after he posted losing seasons in each of his three years. The 44-year-old Dooley posted a 15-21 record that sorely lacked quality wins over conference foes. Dooley was 4-19 in Southeastern Conference games and 0-15 against Top 25 teams. Tennessee is 1-14 in the SEC over the last two years. Tennessee (4-7, 0-7 SEC) must win its season finale against Kentucky to avoid going winless in SEC play for the first time in school history. Tennessee's 41-18 loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday guarantees the Volunteers their third consecutive losing season, which marks the first time the Vols have gone below .500 in three straight years since 1909-11. The university also announced Sunday that offensive coordinator Jim Chaney will coach the Volunteers' season finale.

I bought this for a travel photography workshop with much outdoor time in the elements. I find the soft lining to be divine, and windstopper to be as advertised. The ability to tighten the hood is key, and it is super soft and comfortable allowing for movement and flexibility.
I bought it for my wife for a gift and my wife really like it! She wear it in this early spring everyday. The water-resist function of this jacket almost be the same as water proof of others brand! Good quality of Arcteryx!

Over 3 lakh shops in Chennai planted black flags in their establishments on Tuesday.
The move was intended to symbolise their opposition to the government's decision to allow 51 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail, said the president of Tamil Nadu Vanikar Sankhankalin Peramaippu A.M. Vikramaraja.
Flags flew high in several shops in areas such as Adambakkam, T. Nagar, Koyambedu, Triplicane, Parry's Corner, Egmore, K.K. Nagar and Ekkaduthangal.
"Despite our protests, the government has gone ahead with its decision. This has deeply hurt the trading community. I don't understand why we have to follow the foot steps of the US and permit FDI here," he said. The black flags will continue to fly for another seven days till October 7, he added.
"We plan to burn the government order on October 2 to protest against the decision," said Mr. Vikramraja.
A meeting is planned to be held today at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, where representatives from all states would participate and decide on the next course of action.

A teaser for Quentin Tarantino's highly anticipated film The Hateful Eight has been leaked online.
The teaser was attached with Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For, to be played in theaters before the film's screening, and was seemingly recorded by a member of the audience and uploaded onto YouTube.
There is no footage in the teaser given that the film hasn't begun shooting yet. But here is what we know:
Collider.com reports that the teaser reveals names of its eight titular characters:
Major Marquis Warren: "The Bounty Hunter"
John Ruth: "The Hangman"
Daisy Domergue: "The Prisoner"
Chris Mannix: "The Sheriff"
Bob: "The Mexican"
Oswald Mobray: "The Little Man"
Joe Gage: "The Cow Puncher"
General Sandy Smithers: "The Confederate"
The film will be shot in 70 mm and is set for release in 2015. Also, the film will actually be spelt The H8ful Eight.
Watch the teaser:
Earlier this year, Tarantino had almost given up working on the film after the first draft of the script was leaked.
The film stars Samuel L Jackson, Tim Roth, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, Walton Goggins, James Parks, Amber Tamblyn and Kurt Russell as the eight characters.

Review By Kalyan Rai - December 13, 2004Edited By Ed Piotrowski
Halo's graphics engine makes use of pixel shader 2.0 and bump mapping for rendering of its visuals. It proved to be a torture test for previous generation cards. Gearbox has since released the Custom Edition multiplayer add-on pack, which boosts overall performance. The in-built timedemo was run on the PS 2.0 rendering path to compile the following results with all in-game settings set to the max. It must be noted that Halo does not support antialiasing.
The Leadtek A400 Ultra TDH truly rips through Halo. Playing the game is now a fun experience even at resolutions of 1280 x 1024. Gone are the days where you need to tweak certain settings to allow for smoother gameplay. Instead, you can now enjoy Halo as it was meant to be in all its rendered glory.
The new Unreal Tournament game offers fast-paced online gameplay with some visually impressive (and expansive) Onslaught levels. The level of pixel shading used by Unreal Tournament 2004's graphics engine is thought to be somewhat limited, but the visuals provided use lots of complex texture blending. All in-game settings where set to the max and demos (made by MikeC) were used, including: An Onslaught match on ONS_Dria and Deathmatch DM_Inferno.
The onslaught demo is stressful on the Leadtek A400 Ultra TDH. The results, however, are similar no matter the resolution or IQ settings. My CPU is the bottleneck here. The results on MikeC's DM_Inferno demo shows what maybe a more typical experience. Benchmarks aside, the Leadtek A400 Ultra TDH is more than capable of delivering the horsepower needed for a typical online UT2004 gaming session at 1280 x 1024 with 4X antialiasing and 8X anisotropic filtering enabled. Maps that are huge may push the frame rates down on any video card, but nowhere as severe as the ONS_Dria results suggest considering the CPU limitation.

Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage
Would you prefer a Sequel OR Remake?
This game is my favorite from N64 and i would love to see a remake on the 3DS or even a Sequel on the computer because turn based RPG has always been a favorite genre of mine and i thought Aidyn was the coolest game when i was 12 and got my N64. On the computer i feel PVP and a sort of MMO take on a sequel would be awesome. I wonder what other fans think, Its just a curiosity of mine and the chances are slim to none this franchise will ever revive without it being a fan game and who knows who owns the rights to this anymore. Does any1? Would Nintendo have rights?
Time was, I believed Bioware would be a good company to take the game in with a remake, then a sequel, maybe a trilogy even. But since they've been taken over by EA and become crap... I think the game should be left alone.
I personally don't own any Nintendo systems after the Gamecube, and I have no intention of ever buying one. A remake would mean nothing for me, unless it was on Xbox, Playstation, or PC, like you said.
...Though if I absolutely had to choose, and it was a worthwhile game developer who made it, I'd have to say... Sequel. Who's to say a remake would get the support for a continuation? We'd all just have a prettier version of the same, bittersweet story.
It's as though I know every combo in the video game but they keep pressing the A button!
I wouldn't mind a Remake. I am annoyed that people are writing off Nintendo already. At least they're trying to innovate, instead of just rereleasing the same system over and over and slowly removing functionality.
Besides, the Wii is awesome.
I am Triaxx Guardian of earth.
Sole member of the Guardians. RP/FF Char Count:15
Yes the Wii is awesome, and Nintendo is awesome. ^^
I'd prefer a remake. On any console I don't mind. Could be the Wii U or the next Nintendo console, but also wouldn't mind on PS4.
THQ had the rights but now they're bankrupt so only God knows who has the rights now.
But yeah a remake would be cool.
I love my Wii, always playing old school games on it, currently playing Majoras Mask again but god do i wish Aidyn could be ported to it, id buy it in an instant. I said a remake would be cool because Alaron was only the first mage clearly stated in the title. Who were the other mages? What if they remade this game into an MMO style game where you create your team and as the leader are a Mage like Alaron was, a blank slate paired with cookie cutter companions that are in a race to fight of the Chaos Army again! If Alaron became king the world certainly would have changed and i for one would have loved to experience it. I am curious if anybody would care enough to send a cease and desist order against a fan game.

Allegations have been made of millions of dollars of improper payments to Fifa officials who were involved in the process of voting for the winning bids. We are no closer today to knowing whether or not these allegations are true or false. Fifa has investigated itself and not surprisingly found itself to be not guilty.
With the Middle East at yet another critical juncture and with a sense of common purpose emanating from the region, this is neither the time for straw man moralising or finger pointing. The West should don its realpolitik glasses and use Qatar's status in the area to give a nudge to the consolidation process currently taking place in the Islamic world.
While it may be more comforting to consider these men but lone wolves acting upon their own deranged ideas, that no longer seems to be the case. In this age of social media and easily accessible information in which we live, it is no longer necessary for contact to be made for a message to be passed on.
As one "War on Terror," draws to an end, so starts another. The upcoming withdrawal of British forces from Afghanistan should force our politicians to reflect, largely on the utter futility of combating societal and religious problems with bombs. Old habits die hard. Not having learnt that virtually every Western intrusion into the Middle East ends in disaster, parliament's acquiescence to David Cameron's demand that Britain join the fight against ISIS proves our foreign policy is created in a historical vacuum.
Studies provide a number of fresh insights into evolving attitudes and technology based behaviours in this fast changing region... The Middle East is not as different as you might think... "The digital divide demarcates technological abilities in the Arab world about as starkly as anywhere on earth."
Citing a confidential assessment by former South African police chief Andre Pruis, British media is trying to make the case that Qatar is too vulnerable to terrorism to serve as host. As someone who has worked on counter-terrorism issues for nearly 20 years, I find this argument wrong for three key reasons.
