Mining Overview Commentary
Turkey, officially the Republic of Turkey, is located at the intersection of the Asian and European continents, sharing borders with eight other countries: Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; Iraq and Syria to the south; and Bulgaria and Greece to the northwest. It also has a coastline on the Black Sea to the north, the Mediterranean to the south and the Aegean Sea to the west.
Formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, the modern-day Turkish republic was founded in 1923 following the Turkish War of Independence. Turkey switched from a parliamentary representative democracy to a presidential system following the outcome of a referendum in 2017. The country has a chequered history of attempted coup d'états – the most recent of which failed in 2016. Issues around political repression, human rights and freedom of speech continue to cause international concern. Turkey made an application to join the European Economic Community (the EU's predecessor) in 1987 and has been negotiating accession ever since. However, negotiations with the EU have currently stalled and many question whether Turkey will ever succeed in becoming an EU Member State.
According to the World Bank, Turkey's nominal GDP in 2017 was over $851 billion (USD), making it the 17th largest economy in the world and the largest in the Middle East. Turkey experienced a period of significant economic growth and development from the start of the 21st century and is now classified as an upper-middle income country by the World Bank. However, in recent years, economic growth in the country has slowed, falling from 7.4% in 2017 to 3.7% in 2018 (World Bank) – sparking warnings of a technical recession. A currency crisis, international trade deficit and high levels of foreign debt have continued to have a detrimental impact on the economy during the opening months of 2019.
Turkey has considerable mineral resource wealth, producing more than 50 mineral commodities, with over 75 globally traded mineral commodities having been identified in the territory (USGS). According to USGS, the country is the world's largest boron producer, perlite producer and pumice and pumicite producer. It is the second largest steel producer in Europe and the top producer of gold and cement. It is also amongst the top five global producers of feldspar, magnesium compounds, chromium and bentonite (USGS). The geological make-up of the country offers much promise for explorers, though paired with the mountainous terrain is also a challenging environment in which to operate. Instances of political unrest and uncertainty in recent years, alongside the country's position on the borders of several war-torn countries pose risk to projects in the country.
The legal framework for the mining industry is comprised of various laws and regulations including the: Mines Law No. 3213/1985 (ML) which was substantially amended in 2015 and 2017; Mining Regulation No. 30187/2017 (MR); Regulation on Mining Activity Permits No. 25852/2005; Regulation on Mineral Site Tenders No. 30187/2017; and a variety of other secondary regulations relating to matters such as mine waste and licence transmission. Also of relevance are the various environmental laws, more information on which can be found in our 'Environmental Overview' section.
The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR) is the government authority with responsibility for the mining industry and the management of Turkey's natural resources. The General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum (Directorate) sits within the MENR and takes on the responsibilities relating to the administration of the industry, including the issuance of mining and exploration rights.
Only Turkish citizens or companies may obtain mineral rights in Turkey (Art. 6, ML). Under the ML, mines are classified into five groups – each of which relates to a different category of minerals (Art. 2, ML; see also Art. 5, MR). The primary group of interest to foreign investors will be Group IV mines which includes industrial, base and precious metals. Rights for Group IV mines are issued on application to the Directorate (Art. 16, ML; see also Art. 8(5), MR). Rights for other mine groups may be issued via a tender process.
The following mineral rights are available for Group IV mines:
- Exploration Licence: Granted on application providing the fees are paid and the relevant documentation, including proof of financial capacity, is submitted (Art. 16, ML & Art. 9, MR; see also Annex 6, MR). The maximum licence area is 50,000 hectares (Art. 16, ML). Exploration Licences are granted for a maximum total period of nine years – which is divided into a pre-search period, general exploration period, detailed exploration period and feasibility period (Art. 17, ML). Different criteria apply in relation to the transitioning from one period to another (see Art. 17, ML & Arts. 17 – 19, MR). Licences are granted for all minerals in the group to which they relate.
- Operation Licence: Granted to the holder of an Exploration Licence that has complied with the terms of the licence and made an application before the expiry of the exploration period (Art. 27, MR). Applicants must submit an operation plan, provide proof of financial capacity, demonstrate reserves and submit evidence of compatibility with environmental management. Operation Licences are granted for a period of not less than 10 years nor greater than 50 years (Art. 24, ML). Licences may be extended beyond 50 years by the Council of Ministers on application (Art. 24, ML). The maximum area over which a Licence may be granted is 2,000 hectares (Art. 16, ML).
- Operation Permit: In addition to an Operation Licence, an Operation Permit must also be obtained within three years in order to undertake mining operations (Art. 24, ML). To obtain an Operation Permit all other permits for mining in the area must first be secured including a positive EIA decision, surface right and various other land authorisations (see Art. 24, ML; see also Regulation on Mining Activity Permits). Once all the necessary permits and permissions have been obtained an Operation Permit may be issued, the duration of which shall be tied to the duration of the Operation Licence (Art. 24, ML).
Exploration and Operation Licences may be transferred with the permission of the MENR (Art. 5, ML). Operation Permits may not be transferred (Art. 39, ML). Pledging and mortgaging is also permitted (Arts. 39 & 42, ML).
Activities must be conducted in accordance with the operational plans submitted to the Directorate (Art. 29, ML). Annual technical reports must be submitted containing information on the activities carried out in the previous year (Art. 29, ML).
Licences fees and royalty rates are provided for under the law (Arts. 13 -14, ML).
Land access rights must be obtained and if activities are to take place on private land an agreement with the landowner must be negotiated and compensation provided (Art. 46, ML).
Environmental Overview Commentary
Turkey, officially known as the Republic of Turkey, is a transcontinental state that spreads across the Europe-Asia border. It is bordered on the Asian side by Syria, Iraq, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan (by way of the exclave Nakhchivan) and Georgia and on the European side by Greece and Bulgaria. The Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea lie to the north, south and west of the country.
Turkey has a variable terrain and landscape. In the European part of Turkey – which amounts to less than 4% of the country – low valleys and plateaus dominate the landscape. Meanwhile, Asian Turkey is dominated by a high central plateau, though the coastal areas are primarily low and narrow plains. The country has very mountainous areas, particularly in the eastern region where Turkey's highest peak – Mount Ararat (5,137m) can be found. From a cold semi-arid climate in the central region to a warm Mediterranean climate on the western and southern coastlines, climates in Turkey vary across the different regions.
Turkey is recognised as a country with rich biodiversity. It is home to over 9,000 species of plant , around 3,000 of which are endemic. Snowdrops, crocus, a huge range of rose species and windflowers are recognised amongst popular plants from the region. The tulip is Turkey's national flower. Around 15% of the country is classified as forest land; fir, beech, pine and chestnut trees grow in these areas. Turkey also has a diverse range of fauna, with over 19,000 invertebrate species and 1,500 vertebrate species. Notable wildlife includes the grey wolf, fallow deer, various species of bear, fox and goat, wildcats and hyena. Several species, including the Mediterranean monk seal and the northern bald ibis, are classified as critically endangered.
Environmental issues in Turkey include air pollution, loss of biodiversity, land degradation and water pollution. The country is highly vulnerable to earthquakes due to its location in the area where the Eurasian, Arabian and African plates collide. Fault lines spread across the country, with Turkey said to experience in excess of 10,000 earthquakes per year. Over the years, earthquakes, often in excess of a 7.0 magnitude, have devastated the country.
The primary environmental laws and regulations in Turkey with relevance to the mining industry and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process include the: Environmental Law No. 2872/1983 (EL); the Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment No. 29186/2014 (EIA Regulation); the Regulation on Environmental Permits and Licences No. 29115/2014 (Permit Regulation); the Mines Law No. 3213/1985 (ML); and the Mining Activities Permits Regulation No. 25852/2005. The EIA Regulation provides for the technical and administrative processes of EIAs. The legal framework is accompanied by various documentation and guidelines published by the Turkish government. Specific guidelines for the mining sector were published in 2017 (Guidelines). For many years Turkey has been attempting to join the EU; the changes to the environmental law framework in 2014 aimed to bring the Turkish legislation in line with existing EU Directives.
The Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation (Ministry) is responsible for the management and oversight of Turkey's environment. The General Directorate of Environmental Impact Assessment, Permit and Inspection (Directorate) within the Ministry is responsible for, amongst other things: carrying out EIA and taking decisions, monitoring and supervising EIA; granting environmental permissions and licences; monitoring environmental impacts; and providing a range of supervisory services (see Art. 104, Presidential Decree 30474, 2018). EIA applications are made via an online registry system, available on the Directorate's website.
Under the EIA Regulation, projects which are categorised under Annex I require an EIA as mandatory (Art. 7(1)(a), EIA Regulation). The following mining activities are classified under Annex I:
- Open-cast mines equal to or greater than 25 hectares in area (as a sum of excavation and dumping site) irrespective of the total licence area;
- Open coal extraction activities in areas which exceed 150 hectares;
- Ore enrichment facilities to which biological, chemical, electrolytic or heat treatment methods are applied and / or waste facilities for enrichment; and
- Facilities that make use of at least one of the processes of breaking, sieving, washing and mineral processing of over 400.00 tonnes per year (see Annex I, EIA Regulation).
Projects which are categorised under Annex II must be screened in order to determine whether or not an EIA is required (Art. 15(1)(a), EIA Regulation). The following mining activities are classified under Annex II:
- Open-cast mining in an area up to 25 hectares (as a sum of excavation and dumping site) irrespective of licence area;
- Methane gas storage and extraction over a certain volume;
- Installations where carbon dioxide, rock gas and other gases are removed, stored or processed;
- Facilities that perform at least one of the processes of crushing, screening, washing and ore preparation which are not covered under Annex I;
- Ore composting facilities and / or waste facilities related to processing / enrichment; and
- Mineral, petroleum and geothermal resource exploration projects (with some noted exceptions) (see Annex II, EIA Regulation).
In order for projects in Annex II to be screened, a Project Presentation file must be prepared by a licensed environmental consultant (Art. 16(1), EIA Regulation). The file must contain the information specified under Annex IV, which includes: general information on the project; project specifications; current environmental characteristics of the project site and area; and the environmental impacts of the project during construction and operation, including mitigation measures (Annex IV, EIA Regulation). The Project Presentation file must be submitted to the Ministry for review, which is generally carried out by the Directorate. Within five working days the file shall be reviewed and if necessary additional information shall be requested. A review will then be conducted within 15 working days. Within five working days of the review, a decision on the EIA shall be issued – "EIA Required" or "EIA Not Required" (Art. 17, EIA Regulation). Where an "EIA Not Required" decision is issued, projects must commence within five years or the decision shall be deemed null and void (Art. 17(3), EIA Regulation).
For projects under Annex I or Annex II projects which have received an "EIA Required" decision pursuant to Article 17 of the EIA Regulation, an "EIA Positive" decision must be obtained. To commence the EIA process a licensed consultant must submit an EIA application file including the content specified under Annex III, EIA Regulation which includes: general information on the project including a non-technical summary; characteristics and properties of the project; environmental impacts of the project during construction and operation and proposed mitigation measures; and information on public participation (see Annex III, EIA Regulation). The environmental consultant must also submit a power of attorney and circular of signature which show that the EIA Application file and the signatory are authorised (Art. 8(2), EIA Regulation). A preliminary review will then be conducted within five working days to ensure the file is complete; incomplete files will be returned for amendment (Art. 8(3), EIA Regulation). Upon confirmation of a complete application, the Directorate will establish a commission, involving representatives from the relevant public and governmental bodies (Art. 8(4), EIA Regulation). At this time an announcement will also be made by the Ministry (and the relevant governorship) that the EIA process has commenced, and an EIA file is ready for public comment (Art. 8(5), EIA Regulation). The EIA Application file will be passed to the commission and a date set for the Public Participation Meeting (see below) (Art. 8(6), EIA Regulation).
A Public Participation Meeting is a requirement of the EIA process (Art. 9, EIA Regulation). The meeting must take place at a location which is easily accessible by the people who are expected to be most affected by the project (Art. 9(1), EIA Regulation). A notice advertising the meeting shall be published at least 10 calendar days prior in a national and local newspaper (Art. 9(1)(a), EIA Regulation). The meeting shall serve as an opportunity for the public to be informed about the project and submit any comments, opinions, questions or suggestions (Art. 9(1)(b), EIA Regulation). A copy of the meeting minutes shall be submitted to the Ministry (Art. 9(1)(b), EIA Regulation).
The next step in the EIA process shall be the preparation of an EIA Report for submission to the Ministry. In the first instance, the scope and special format for the report shall be determined by the commission which shall issue a Special Format Form (Art. 10(1), EIA Regulation). A fee must be paid within one month of the Public Participation Meeting in order for the form to be issued (Art. 10(2), EIA Regulation). The authorised environmental consultant must then prepare the EIA Report within 12 months (Art. 10(4), EIA Regulation). An extension of six months may also be permitted. If the EIA Report is not submitted within the given timeframe, the EIA process shall be cancelled (Art. 10(4), EIA Regulation).
On submission of the EIA Report to the Ministry, an examination on whether the EIA Report meets the requirements of the Special Format and has been prepared by qualified experts will be carried out. The examination shall be carried out within five working days and incomplete reports will be returned for amendment (Art. 11(1), EIA Regulation). If the outcome of the initial examination is favourable the EIA Report shall be sent to the commission alongside information on the first review meeting. A second notice will be published alerting the public to the fact that the EIA Report is open for comment (Art. 11(2)-(3), EIA Regulation). Opinions on the EIA Report may be submitted to the Ministry for consideration by the commission (Art. 11(4), EIA Regulation).
Within 10 working days of the first review meeting the commission shall conduct a review and evaluation of the EIA Report (Art. 12(1), EIA Regulation). During this time additional information may be requested to support the EIA Report (Art. 12(3), EIA Regulation). Deficiencies and corrections must be actioned within 12 months, though a six-month extension is possible; failure to resubmit an EIA Report during this time period will result in the termination of the EIA process (Art. 12(6), EIA Regulation). During its review the commission will consider:
- If the EIA Report is adequate and appropriate;
- Whether the assessments, calculations and evaluations made are based on sufficient data, information and documents;
- Whether the environmental impact of the project has been thoroughly examined;
- Whether the necessary precautions are planned in order the eliminate the negative impacts on the environment; and
- Whether the public participation meeting and the views and suggestions have been addressed, reviewed and evaluated (Art. 12(9), EIA Regulation).
Within 10 calendar days of the commission's review the EIA Report is submitted to the Ministry (Art. 13, EIA Regulation). The report shall then be open for public review for a further 10 calendar days – during which time opinions and proposals on the project may be submitted (Art. 14(1), EIA Regulation). These comments will be taken into consideration during the final decision on the EIA and steps may be taken by the Directorate to ensure they have been adequately addressed (Art. 14(1), EIA Regulation). A letter of commitment from the project owner and accompanying notary must be submitted within five working days or the EIA process will be terminated (Art. 14(1)-(2), EIA Regulation).
The final decision on the EIA will then be made by the Ministry via the Directorate. The decision shall be issued within 10 working days and will either be "EIA Positive" or "EIA Negative" (Art. 14(3), EIA Regulation). Where a negative decision is issued proponents may reapply if there is a change in conditions (Art. 14(5), EIA Regulation). Where a positive decision is made the project must commence within seven years (Art. 14(4), EIA Regulation).
Additional environmental permits may be required pursuant to the Permit Regulation and the Mining Activities Permits Regulation.

The church we attend, where my husband is the pastor, is having nightly revival services for a few days. Last night, the guest preacher gave a wonderful word concerning the good Samaritan. Most of us have heard this portion of scriptures numerous times, and often, we let familiarity cheat us from a divine lesson.
In Luke 10:25-37, a lawyer asked Jesus about what he could do to inherit eternal life. Jesus and the lawyer spoke for a moment, and the lawyer recited the two commandments that summed up the Mosaic Law. Expounding on the second one that states to love your neighbor as yourself, and, wishing to justify himself, the lawyer asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"
Although we have not asked the same specific question, how many times do our own actions ask this question. Who are we supposed to love? To whom are we to show kindness? The same story Jesus told the lawyer applies to us today.
A man was traveling and overtaken by robbers. They beat him nearly to death and left him along the road. Both a priest and a Levite came by and kept going on their ways, leaving the man in his critical, physical condition. These men were both of religious persuasion. The priest atoned for the sins of the people before Jesus became the sacrificial lamb. The Levite, a member of the tribe of Levi, assisted priests in the temple with their duties. One would think that these two religious men would have been more than happy to help the injured, but we would be hasty in making that assumption. Sometimes it is the most unlikely candidate who demonstrates the love of God.
A Samaritan came along the path of the injured man. He took care of the man and found him a place to stay. He even paid for the injured man to be cared for while he went away. The Jews of that time-period considered the Samaritans to be unworthy of their time and attention. We shake our heads in disgust at the priest and Levite, but how often do we overlook the homeless person on the street? Or how often do we turn a blind eye to the prostitute, drug addict, or someone with whom our own personality clashes?
Part of every-day life in Christ is loving the unlovely, and that means demonstrating love when we do not feel love. Biblical love is a choice. The loving emotions will come later. While we can not take care of every person in need, why don't we take care of the ones God puts in our paths? Being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and obeying His voice will lead us to the ones who are meant to help.
Am I perfect at this concept? Heavens, no! I have failed many times at this because I often get caught up in my own work and ministry that I forget I need to step outside of the box and truly live as Christ did. I am learning, and I hope you are too.

What was - is only wind
A sea without a shore
No lips, no voice, nor song to sing
And a love, which is no more
My Book "A Splash of Ink" is now available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback formats (personally, I like the paperback version as eBooks don't format poetry very well - just being honest :-) I wish to thank everyone for their continued support. Thank you!
I am a huge fan of your work Sir. Can't wait to get my hands on A Splash of Ink. I am a poet from South African, you truly inspire me. Thank you.ReplyDelete
WOW! Thank you so much. :-) I'm glad you enjoy my poems. If you do happen to purchase a copy of my book, I suggest the actual paperback, vice the eBook version. I'm a huge eBook fan for novels, but even for my own book, find that the eBook version is not suitable, as the words do not flow around the pictures. If you're unable to afford it, please let me know and I'll purchase a copy on Amazon and send it to you. Thanks again for your comments. Take care! Cheers, DaveReplyDelete

Do you want to know how to wear black shorts?
Black shorts are great for Spring/Summer because black goes well with every color and it gives a chicer/rock vibe. The other day, I saw a girl wearing the outfit in the image above. She was wearing the shirt unbuttoned, over the tank top and shorts combo. It looked great!
Here are some more tips for black shorts:
How to Wear Black Shorts
- Shorts are a casual piece because they usually are… short ;). The black color gives them a chicer look, but you can also combine with some classic/chicer pieces (a blazer, a shirt, a good bag) so the outfit looks more sophisticated.
- Black goes well with every color, so wear them with anything.
- If you want to wear cropped tops, that are trendy this season, try high-waisted shorts (another trend).
- You can wear them with sneakers, sandals, ankle boots, ballet flats, pumps, etc.

Knowing I love Christmas, my husband bought me a box of Christmas Lindt when he was at the shops yesterday which was very sweet (pun not intended, but apt!)
As well as the usual delicious Lindor and dark chocolate balls, the box contained a gingerbread ball and a peppermint cookie ball.
I loved the Lindor and dark balls, of course. The peppermint cookie ball was nice enough but I am not keen on peppermint with chocolate so this was never going to excite me very much – it was Lindt though so smooth and pleasant will do! However, the gingerbread ball was not gingerbread at all to my taste – it was more like the crystallised ginger flavour rather than the subtle spiciness of gingerbread.
So, as much as I love all things Christmas, I think I will stick with the general Lind range rather than their Christmas ball selection.
What do you think of their Christmas balls?

text: We received Avery's latest well baby check! (She goes monthly to the doctor and this is his report on how she is doing) She is doing quite well! She was 8 months old at this last appointment and she weighed 16.1lbs which puts in her in the 8% in weight. She is 26.7 inches long which puts her in the 17% for length. So in short, she is a tiny little peanut wearing 3-6 mo. clothing! I always thought she looked so chubby in her photos but clearly she is not!! Developmentally she was at a 7.5 month level, so just slightly behind. She creeps around, but is not officially crawling yet. She plays peek-a-boo, and sits alone. She has met most her developmental milestones as well so we are thrilled to hear about her great progress! Can't wait for new photos!!!

So there's this song that I've been listening to a bunch for a little while now. It's called The Nature of Love and it's by Sinitus Tempo, (click the link to listen to it, I recommend you do while you read it because I'm super pretentious and think it might affect how you perceive what I'm saying) I have absolutely no idea how to define his music in terms of genre, but that probably has more to do with my lack of knowledge when it comes to music than him having a mind-bending sound that defies common conventions of what we would call a genre. So I'll call it easy listening/chill instrumental? Yeah close enough, the point of this post isn't really even to talk about the song itself. I definitely enjoy it and think it's good music, but the fact that it's just a good song to just chill out and think about stuff to and the title The Nature of Love is what's got me really kind of spinning.
Like what do I even see as the nature of love? That's kind of an enormous question, isn't it? But questions like this that feel almost unanswerable are the ones that intrigue me the most because it allows for you to sort of just endlessly explore ideas without ever feeling the need to have a quantifiable answer. Which is pretty ironic to say now because I'm about to try to give a quantifiable answer to this question, but that's neither here or there. I also feel like I should make a note that I'm firmly incapable of being an authority on this question. Don't get me wrong I love my family and friends dearly and I'd do anything for them, but I'm not a parent and I've never been married, much less in love, and from what people have told me that sort of love is just on a whole other level. I can't even begin to try and describe the love you feel for someone as you look into their eyes on your wedding day or the loved one feels when they hold their child for the first time and their entire universe melts away and is immediately reconstructed but with this tiny person at the center or it. I've never felt that before so I'm operating on limited information. That being said, not having enough information hasn't ever stopped me before so I'm just gonna kind of go for it anyway.
Love. Woo boy, this is a tough one. To me, love has always been about putting others before myself. I think that's a pretty standard definition though like most people would say that putting someone else before yourself is a critical component of love, so I need some other things to really make sure this is MY opinion/take/perspective on what the nature of love is. I guess for me specifically love is like something that gets me out of the house.
Let me explain that a bit. I'm a deeply introverted person and also very independent if you give me the option to either hang out with some people or just chill at home and watch a movie I'll pick stay at home like 90% of the time. It's nothing against anyone else, I just like my me time… a lot, but when friends invite me out, and I mean like good friends not like the "we talked once at a thing and added each other on Facebook" kind of friends, when good friends invite me out, I pretty much drop whatever I was doing to go spend time with them, because I love them and I love being around them. I feel elevated as a person each time I hang out with them and conversations with good friends always make me feel enlightened as an individual.
Now I know that sounded like really overly sentimental and sappy, but that's one of the problems I think we have right now, we only think of love as that thing the guy says to the girl in a Rom-com when he finally realizes she's the one for him. All too often we see love as being only this thing that's expressed in romantic relationships when that's absolutely not the case. Take for example in my life, I have a number of old friends from my hometown of Magrath, the pizza Tuesday crew. (Y'all know who you are) I love those guys, but we all have like our own lives and I don't talk to them all that much anymore. It's not that I don't care about them anymore, we're just all adults and have like lives to lead. (Side note if any of you fella's are reading this next time we're in the same city let's get some pizza eh?) Also, I feel like I might be excluding some absolutely top-notch people who didn't happen to be part of the pizza Tuesday crew so just know that if we hung out a bunch in high school, I love you, appreciate you and hope your life is going really well.
Tangent there aside, do you see what I'm trying to get at? Love isn't just about sacrificing your own wants/needs for others, it's just like this feeling.
Gah, I'm a writer I should be able to come up with something better than "it's like this feeling". Love is about caring for people in a way that even if you don't see them for years when you do see them it's almost like no time has passed at all, you just start chatting and catching up like you see them every day. Love also isn't always romantic either, take it from me, I don't think I've ever been "in love", but I love a lot of people. Love is about… ehhh… uhh…. hmm…
Oh, wait I think I found it, love isn't about putting others ahead of yourself, love is about caring about a person so much you don't even take your needs into consideration.
Nah wait, that's not good. If people did that you'd have all of these really lopsided relationships with folks just destroying their whole lives to make someone else's better. If the other person returns that love though would it kind of balance things out? Like if we're all putting the needs of those we love ahead of our own and those we love do the same everyone still gets taken care of? Ehh… That sounds like really naive honestly. Like it makes a nice quote I suppose, but in reality, it's just not really smart. Guess I don't have it yet.
I don't know, love is just one of those things where ya know when ya know right? We all know the people in our life that we love and maybe it couldn't hurt to let those people know a little more often how we feel. Although just a quick pro-tip if anyone is thinking of telling their crush that they love them without any warning because of what I'm saying I'm not really recommending that, don't go 0 to 100 ya know? That friend of yours that's been listening to you pine after that person for ages without complaint though? Let that person know you love them. Lord knows they must love you if they put up with that kind of crap.
I think I've rambled enough about this, for now, If I make any breakthroughs on the topic I be sure to do this again though. Later.

On Sunday, 36-year-old legendary Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi announced his retirement from international cricket after a glorious 21-year-long career.
Nicknamed Boom Boom Afridi, the former Pakistani skipper is best known for his explosive batting, having hit a 37-ball ODI century when he was only 16. Now, he has decided to call it quits from the T20 format after a smashing 28-ball 54-run performance in a Pakistan Super League match in Sharjah.
But this isn't the first time that Afridi has retired or considered retirement.
In 2006, he announced retirement from the Test cricket but then withdrew his decision after just two weeks. He finally retired from Test cricket in 2010.
In 2011, Afridi retired yet again, this time from the limited-overs format, only to retract the decision 5 months later.
In 2014, he announced that he will retire from the 50-over format after the 2015 World Cup and followed up on his announcement, retiring after Pakistan lost to Australia in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
And, in 2016, after announcing his intention of retiring from the T20 format after the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, Afridi once again reconsidered his decision.
Unsurprisingly, the master of retirements has become the butt of jokes on the Internet.

(SacBee) Star, a petite 6-year-old sheltie who competes in dog agility shows, almost missed a contest this month. She had spent the previous night at the vet, totally stoned on pot. Her drug trip was an accident. Star lives in Oregon, where recreational use of marijuana became legal last year. Her owner's husband had left some loose-leaf pot on the dining room table, and Star got curious. That was days after her sister, Kicker, gobbled up a pot-infused hard candy she found in the car, leaving her wobbling and incontinent. A veterinarian gave both dogs activated charcoal to absorb the toxin, which contributed to nearly $3,000 in medical bills and caused Star to poop in the ring during her competition. "It was a bad week," said the dogs' owner, Susan Fry, of South Lebanon, Ore. But it was probably a fairly routine week for the clinic that treated the dogs. As more jurisdictions legalize marijuana, veterinarians across the country say they are seeing a sharp increase in cases of pets accidentally getting high. Tasty "edibles" such as muffins and cookies that people consume for a buzz are also appealing to animals, who can't read warning labels, and, in the case of dogs, rarely stop at just one pot brownie. "Dogs used to kind of chew on the stash growing in the basement. Now they're finding a big bag of gummy bears," said Heidi Houchen, a veterinarian at VCA Northwest Veterinary Specialists in a suburb of Portland, which treats a few marijuana cases a week. "Dogs are Hoovers. Dogs are the rock eaters." These incidents, which are rarely fatal, have driven a 330 percent increase over the past five years in calls about pets on pot to the Pet Poison Helpline, said Ahna Brutlag, a veterinary toxicologist who is associate director of the Minnesota-based animal poison control center. Two-thirds of the calls involve marijuana edibles, and nearly all involve dogs, she said. Veterinarians also cited examples of chihuahuas lapping up bong water, cats being exposed to vaping, and even rabbits, ferrets and birds getting accidentally stoned. In the year after pot became legal for recreational use in Oregon, DoveLewis, a large emergency veterinary clinic in Portland, saw a 63 percent increase in marijuana toxicity cases despite a client base growth of just 7 percent, said Alaina Buller, a clinic spokeswoman. Those findings echoed the results of a 2012 study that found such cases quadrupled at two Colorado veterinary clinics in the five years after medical marijuana was legalized in that state.

Bente Kahan Sings Mordechai Gebirtig
A dramatic concert, Bente Kahan depicts, through her musical interpretation, the characters Gebirtig recreated in his songs. She is accompanied by Dariusz Swinoga, accordion, and Miroslaw Kuzniak, violin.
The concert premiered in Warsaw, Poland in 1992, and since then has been shown more that 200 times on stages in many European countries, the USA and Israel.
Mordechai Gebiritg is one of the most important names linked to Yiddish folk-song tradition.
With simplicity, humour and warmth, the carpenter from Cracow has created through his songs a documentary of the people of Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter in Cracow, with its poverty, despair and misery, as well as love, happiness and hope. The Jewish world of Kazimierz disappeared with the Holocaust. Mordechai Gebirtig suffered its fate. In 1942 he was shot by the Nazis in Cracow ghetto, as he was being deported to Belzec death camp.

—The DelRay Sun
When we moved in, if you weren't
sitting in school or paying for pizza,
you were hibernating.
The school and Pete's were the only places
along the main drag that wasn't.
One year, we plodded through snow
to eat at the diner off the highway.
Then when spring came a Mexican
restaurant opened up. We could mosey
down to the drag and eat tacos
while a man meandered from table to table
singing and strumming classical guitar.
Suddenly we had options, and it didn't take long
before we were tired of tortillas.
It was about that time we named our new dog
for the neighborhood contortion.
Adolescence brewed promising independence:
local hardware, video, pharmacy, cheap eats.
But years later I came home from college and kids to find
a street fair full of pumpkins and hay, live music and business.
As a new father, I could hop from the school
playground to a cup of Morning Go
to the consignment shop for cheap baby clothes
before marching my kids through the Halloween parade.
My neighborhood had morphed itself at last.
I can work for a dot com, take yoga classes
and stride by the neighborhood radio station.
Old-style street lamps light brick sidewalks instead of concrete,
and government green street signs are replaced with fancy.
All this and not a single high-rise.
Sure, across the highway, railroad tracks
were torn out to make room for Target.
But I smile when I go home for a visit and know
I can eat Mexican, Thai, Indian or Afghan.
And I can still head to Pete's for a pizza slice.

As the publisher of A-List Mom, I have seen my share of baby gear. In fact, I sometimes have more baby stuff than I know what to do with. While some of the gear is priceless, other items can be easily passed over.
When I has my first son, I had no idea about all the amazing products out there and while I found some cool items, I'm happy to report my second baby will be getting a serious gear upgrade. "If I only knew then what I know now," I always say. Well, now is my chance to get it right the second time around -- if not in the parenting department than at least in the quality of our gear.
That said, everyone and their mother has a different opinion of what kind of baby gear you'll need and what you'll end up tossing for lack of use. So to celebrate being 34 weeks pregnant, I wanted to put together a list of my favorite baby gear finds. While some may seem pricey or not to your taste, rest assured I have assembled this assortment after years of combing through all the baby gear on the market. Here are my top 10 baby gear finds.
1. mamaRoo Infant Seat
A good baby seat is one of my top essentials. In fact, it can save a new mom's sanity in more ways than I can count. Maybe it's because my first son had colic and was a poor sleeper, but our swing saved him from a life of poor napping and turned him into the most well-rested baby on the block. With its sci-fi technologically-advanced design, baby-beloved motion, and ultra-comfy seat, I'll be thrilled to try the mamaRoo out on my new baby.
2. Chicco Keyfit Infant Car Seat
Driving with a baby can be a rather nerve-wracking event -- you don't need an infant car seat that makes your life harder. The Keyfit is one of the most popular infant car seats on the market for many reasons: it's straightforward and easier than most to install, it's very comfy for your baby, the seat locks into the base with an audible, reassuring click, and it's easy to take off the seat one-handed. Not convinced? Click through to see many, many five-star reviews from happy parents.
3. Deuz Tapis Babymat
So many playmats are great for baby, but do a number on your decor. I love this 100 percent organic playmat from France. The colors are neutral, the design so cool, and it's soft and perfect for tummy time. You don't have to sacrifice good design for your child's developing motor skills!
5. Dutailier Lungo Swivel Glider
With my first child, I did not bother purchasing a glider. I figured who needed a glider when you had a perfectly good bed or couch to sit on. Little did I know that round the clock nursing could do a serious number on your back.This time, I'm determined to find a stylish glider that will transition nicely past the nursing years. Behold the Dutailier Lungo Swivel Glider. With its sleek neutral fabric and pared-down looks, this is one stylish seat that will get a lot of use in my house.
6. Baby Bjorn High Chair
This chair is sleek, gorgeous, and space-saving. I never bothered spending a lot of money on my first highchair and boy, was I annoyed because of it. My highchair did the trick and entertained my son, but it was an eyesore I had to look at every single day. This time, I'm going with something sleek, cool, and practical. And the highchair from Baby Bjorn fits all my criteria. It's modern, minimalist, and folds away when not in use.
7. Bumbo Multi Seat
The Bumbo Multi Seat is basically a dummy-proof booster except it's better looking, safer, and has a harness so it can be used by babies and older kids alike (up to age 3). It fastens quickly onto any kitchen chair, and comes in sophisticated colors like this gray, as well as raspberry and turquoise.
8. PeaPod Plus Infant Travel Bed
A good travel solution for sleepy babies and kids is a must-have for parents on the go. Sure, you can buy a play yard to keep at Grandma's, but you'll still need something easy, light, and portable for last-minute trips when you don't want to lug around heavy items. Enter the PeaPod Travel Bed. Perfect for babies and kids up to 5 years old, it's one of the few products that will accommodate all the younger members of the family and will ensure many nights of uninterrupted sleep.
9. Infant Optics DXR-8 Video Baby Monitor
In the world of baby monitors, there is no such thing as perfection. But having gone through my fair share of monitors, I have found one that is as perfect as they come...which means almost perfect. Any monitor that lasts up to two years without a hitch is one that I want to have in the house. The Infant Optics' camera is unique in that you can switch lenses: use a zoom to watch your baby's eyelids flutter and chest rise and fall; a wide-angle lens to capture an entire room once your baby is mobile. It's easy to set up, the parent unit can be charged from a wall plug or a USB outlet in your computer, and you can use the monitor in "power-saving" mode where the picture turns off after a few moments but sound comes through clearly. To restore the image, just touch a button.
10. Puj Flyte
A good baby bath comes in handy, but let's face it, the first few months you are basically bathing them in the kitchen sink, which is why I love the Puj Flyte. While the original Puj bath is great for sinks at home, the Flyte takes the concept to a new level by making the bath smaller and even more compact so you can slip into your suitcase and never have to worry about where to bathe baby on the go.

August 29, 2014 by Robert Franklin, Esq.
My wife and I live in a small Texas town. Because much that gets done in our town does so because volunteers do it, I volunteer one day a week at the local library. There I meet people I probably otherwise wouldn't.
Several years ago, three boys walked in shepherded by their mother close behind. I'd never set eyes on any of them before, but I immediately noticed how neat, tidy, respectful and generally well-behaved the boys were. I recall that they were about 11, 8 and 5 at the time. Mother and sons worked quietly and intensely at the computers and various books of history, mathematics, English, etc. Soon enough, the mother and I struck up a conversation and I learned that she home-schooled her kids. She didn't trust the public schools to inculcate the type of values in her sons that she expected them to have, so she took matters into her own hands.
Fast forward six years. My wife and I have met, quite by accident, another family that has three boys of about the same age as the ones I met at the library. The first minute I met them and said "Hello" to the children, I immediately concluded they were being home-schooled. These three are more than just well-mannered; they're intelligent, well-spoken, interested and interesting. The middle one plays the piano, the oldest plans to get his falconry license soon. The youngest, who is four, tries his best to carry on an adult conversation with admittedly not much success. But how can you not love a child who, on discovering a book about amphibians and reptiles, immediately gets down on the floor to share the photos with the family dog, who, truth to tell, seemed unimpressed. These kids are 11, 9 and 4 and are a complete pleasure to be around. And sure enough, they're being home-schooled.
Those two examples of course mean little about home-schooling as a way to educate kids. The quality of the education kids receive depends almost entirely on the quality of the teacher delivering same. If the teacher is effective and cares about the children, then the effects will likely be positive, but clearly there's no certainty that a parent is better at the job than teacher.
Still, I thought about my friends and their home-schooled kids when I read this by the estimable Eugene Volokh (Washington Post, 8/18/14). Volokh teaches law at UCLA law school and writes the blog The Volokh Conspiracy, which is well worth a read.
The issue he's dealing with is one we haven't encountered in family courts much, but it falls squarely onto the continuum of issues that come under the general heading "Family Courts Micromanaging Parent's Decision-making," or words to that effect. It seems that, much like with child protective agencies, once a court gets a family in its sights, it can't seem to resist putting every imaginable detail of their lives under its microscope. Judges often seem to think that wearing a black robe and sitting higher than everyone else in the courtroom imbues them with wisdom the rest of us lack.
Do those judges know the kids whose lives they govern? No, they meet them rarely if at all and only for the briefest of times and in the most artificial of circumstances. Will they live every day with the decisions they make about the parents and kids? Again, no. They'll pronounce their ruling, bring the gavel down and move on to the next case, likely never to know whether the orders they issued were good or bad, right or wrong, constructive or not. Parents have deep-seated relationships with their kids; judges don't. Parenting is for life; judging often as not is a one-shot deal.
Volokh's topic is how parents who home-school their kids fare in child custody cases. Now, for me, it's hard to countenance a court's assuming the authority to decide whether a child is schooled at home or at a public or private school. I think that if there's a problem with the child's performance in school that has something to do with the nature of the school, then the court can issue orders following appropriate investigation. So if the child is uniquely unsuited for, say, military school, private school, public school, religious school, etc. and he/she seems to be suffering some sort of serious detriment because of it, then perhaps judicial intervention may be warranted.
But a judge's dislike for a particular school, religion, etc. should form no basis for intervention in parental decision-making. Put simply, courts have no business micromanaging parental decisions as long as they're not clearly contrary to the child's well-being. Again, judges aren't a permanent presence in a child's life and likely have little idea of how their rulings affect most of the families they see in court. But whatever the case, judges should never take it upon themselves to act as supervisory parents, second-guessing any parental decisions they choose. Our traditional opposition to "judicial activism" must extend to family courts, perhaps especially those.
Some cases, though, ask whether a judge may prefer one parent over another because the preferred parent would send the child to a school (or perhaps even specifically to a public school), and the other parent would instead home-school them. I've blogged about this before; some cases have endorsed this non-home-school preference (see these cases from North Carolina and New Hampshire), one has expressly rejected it (this Pennsylvania case), and one is complicated (see the opinions in this Michigan case). I've just come across one more rejecting the non-home-school preference, Rocha v. Rocha (Kan. Ct. App. Aug. 8, 2014):
The judge in Rocha gave primary custody to the father in part because he wouldn't home-school the kids whom the judge opined couldn't be socialized properly if they didn't attend school with other children. Where he got that idea, he didn't let on. Home-schooled kids get socialized by interacting with each other, their friends, neighbors, in church, etc. The six kids I see frequently who've been home-schooled are a lot better socialized than 90% of the children their age I know. A LOT better.
So it's good to see that the appellate court rejected the trial court's reasoning.
The trial court's statements that socialization and interaction with other students cannot be achieved by homeschooling are unsupported. We do not concur with the court's statements as evident by the authority cited in the amicus brief [of the Home School Legal Defense Association] and also the facts of this case.
Volokh goes on to say much what I did.
I should note that, if there is specific evidence that home-schooling is against a particular child's best interests — for instance, the home-schooling is causing huge tensions between that parent and the child, or a child who had done great in school before is now doing poorly on tests while he is being home-schooled and there is reason to think that homeschooling is the cause — likely all courts would consider that as a factor against the homeschooling parent. (Conversely, if a child is thriving while being home-schooled by one parent, and the other parent seeks custody and would stop the home-schooling, that would likely be a factor in favor of the home-schooling parent.) The question here is whether, in the absence of evidence of specific harm or benefit from home-schooling, family court judges can rely on their own general estimation of whether home-schooling is usually better or worse for children than other schooling.
I'd go a step further. I'd say that, absent concrete evidence of harm to a child, parents should be left free — by judges, by CPS, by nosy neighbors, etc. — to raise their kids as they see fit. Doing otherwise is not only an unwarranted extension of governmental power into family life, it's probably not as good a decision as the parents would have made.

Brunswick was founded by John Moses Brunswick who came to the United States from Switzerland at the age of 15. The J. M. Brunswick Manufacturing Company opened for business on September 15, 1845, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally J. M. Brunswick intended his company to be mainly in the business of making carriages, but soon after opening his machine shop, he became fascinated with billiards and decided that making billiard tables would be more lucrative, as the better tables then in use in the United States were imported from England. Brunswick billiard tables were a commercial success, and the business expanded and opened the first of what would become many branch offices in Chicago, Illinois, in 1848. It was later renamed J. M. Brunswick & Brother by 1860, after a family member came on board, and the company's slogan at this time was: "The oldest and most extensive billiard table manufacturers in the United States".[5]
In 1874, the Brunswick company merged with competitor Great Western Billiard Manufactory owned by Julius Balke to become the J. M. Brunswick & Balke Company. It was incorporated in 1879 with a capital stock of $275,000, the same year it merged with another competitor, H. W. Collender Company of New York City (founded by Hugh W. Collender), to acquire Collender's patented billiard cushions. In 1884, the partners formed the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company (or B.B.C. Company for short[6]) with capital of $1.5 million.[clarification needed]
The company expanded into making a number of other products. Large ornate neo-classical style bars for saloons were a popular product. Bowling balls, pins, and equipment led a growing line of sporting equipment. It popularized bowling balls of manufactured materials, vulcanized rubber at first; earlier bowling balls had been solid wood.
In the early 20th century, Brunswick expanded the product line to include such diverse products as toilet seats, automobile tires, and phonographs. In the late 1910s, they introduced a quickly popular line of disc phonograph records, under the name Brunswick Records. In 1930, Brunswick sold the control of the record company to Warner Brothers and came out with a line of refrigerators.
During World War II, Brunswick-Balke-Collender made small target-drone aircraft for the U.S. military. After the war, Brunswick introduced a line of school furniture. In 1949, the Brunswick "Model A" Mechanical Pinsetter fully automated unit premiered, for the purpose of handling bowling pins for the sport of tenpins, in competition with American Machine and Foundry (AMF). Previously, Brunswick had made two models of semi-automated, manually operated "spotting tables" for the tenpin sport, that the "Model A" unit replaced. The 1950s also saw the introduction of a line of golfing equipment to compete with AMF in the leisure-products and sporting-goods markets.
The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company officially changed its name to the Brunswick Corporation on April 10, 1960. The following year the company reported sales of $422 million. Brunswick acquired Mercury Marine in 1961. In the 1970s, Brunswick introduced the automatic scorer, which electronically tallied the score instead of the bowler doing it by hand.
The Brunswick Corporation patented a machine gun using a delayed blowback operation via a fluted chamber as part of the weapon's operation.[7] Another platform was the Rifleman's Assault Weapon, an unusual grenade launcher that used a spherical rocket propelled grenade.[8][9][10][11]
In the 1980s, Brunswick became a major maker of yachts and pleasure boats, under brands including Bayliner, Boston Whaler, Maxum, Sea Ray, and Trophy.
During the Gulf War, Brunswick supplied the military with camouflage nets. They also made radomes for the Patriot missile.
In 1997, Brunswick purchased the Roadmaster bicycle division, one of the last U.S. manufacturers of low-cost, mass-market bicycles. However, it became apparent that continued U.S. manufacture of such products was not viable in the presence of surging low-priced imports from overseas producers, primarily China. In 1999, Brunswick sold its Roadmaster bicycle division and brand to Pacific Cycle.
In 2001, Brunswick acquired Hatteras Yachts from Genmar Industries for approximately $80 million in cash.[12]

As of the early 21st century, the Brunswick Corporation still manufactured sporting and fitness equipment (Life Fitness, Hammer Strength, Parabody) in addition to boats (Sea Ray, Bayliner, Maxum, etc.) and marine engines under the Mercury Marine brand name.
In 2004, Brunswick acquired Lowe Boats. The same year, the company also purchased Northstar Technologies, a leading marine electronics provider based in Acton, Massachusetts, from Canadian Marconi Corporation (now CMC Electronics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Esterline Technologies Corporation). Brunswick then merged Navman, based in Auckland, New Zealand, with Northstar to make Northstar/Navman a supplier to the Brunswick Boat Groups. Brunswick also acquired Mx-Marine. When George Buckley, CEO at the time, left to join 3M in 2006, new leadership decided to sell Northstar, Navman and Mx-Marine. Navico now owns those three brands in addition to the Eagle, Lowrance, B&G, and Simrad lines.
On November 9, 2006, the company announced that it was closing two plants and downsizing the workforce by 650 employees, citing low demand for new boats. Numerous other layoffs occurred prior to this in the Brunswick New Technologies division.
Brunswick reports that in the past five years, their international sales have grown at twice the rate of domestic sales. It has established regional headquarters in Verviers, Belgium; Monterrey, Dandenong, Australia; and Dubai to better serve its customers by designing, engineering, manufacturing and distributing products based on local needs, using local talent.[13]
On July 17, 2014, Brunswick announced its intention to leave the bowling business by the end of 2014. The company disclosed that it had agreed to sell its bowling center business, which brought in $187 million in revenue in the prior year, to competitor Bowlmor AMF (now known as Bowlero Corporation) for $270 million. It also disclosed that it had retained Lazard to find a buyer for its bowling equipment and products business. The company said it was making these changes to focus on its "core" Marine and Fitness businesses, which provided 92% of company net revenues in 2013. It would retain its heritage billiards business and report billiards financial results as part of the Fitness segment.[14] The sale of the bowling center business to Bowlmor AMF (Bowlero) was completed in September 2014.[15]
Brunswick completed its exit from the bowling business in May 2015 with the sale of its bowling equipment and products division to BlueArc Capital Management, a private investment firm. BlueArc completed the acquisition with investments from Gladstone Investment Corporation, and Capitala Finance Corp. BlueArc continues to produce bowling balls under the Brunswick and DV8 brand names,[16] and on November 15, 2019, it acquired Ebonite International and all of its bowling product brands.[17]
In 2018, the company announced it would be separating the fitness business as Life Fitness Holdings in 2019.[18] In May 2019, Brunswick announced the sale of Brunswick Billiards, Life Fitness, Cybex, Hammer Strength, Indoor Cycling Group, and SCIFIT for $490 million to KPS Capital Partners.[19] The sale was completed in June 2019.
In May 2019, Brunswick announced it would be purchasing the largest marine franchisor in the United States, Freedom Boat Club.[20]

Atlanta rockers Blis. released their promising EP Starting Fires In My Parents House back in 2015, and they're finally following it up this October with their first full-length, No One Loves You. The new album's first single "Stale Smoke" is heavy in texture and lyrical content. Aaron Gossett's vocals are rusty like the pipes of an aged, neglected bathroom; they're raw and grimy and have definitely have lived through some shit (no pun intended). Skewering guitars flail around him as he sings, "If I was more stable I'd bet you'd have more to say to me." Here's what Gossett told us about the track:
This song is about feeling like a child and then finding out you're going to have one. It's about all the things you have to give up on in the process and all the people you'll eventually leave behind because of it. It's about about feeling overwhelmed and appreciating those silent moments you rarely get as a new father to be able to step outside and have a cigarette before duty calls again.
