Title full: ACCF/ASE/ACEP/AHA/ASNC/SCAI/SCCT/SCMR 2008 Appropriateness Criteria for Stress Echocardiography. A Report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation Appropriateness Criteria Task Force, American Society of Echocardiography, American College of Emergency Physicians, American Heart Association, American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, and Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Endorsed by the Heart Rhythm Society and the Society of Critical Care Medicine. The American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) and the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) together with key specialty and subspecialty societies, conducted an appropriateness review for stress echocardiography. The review assessed the risks and benefits of stress echocardiography for several indications or clinical scenarios and scored them on a scale of 1 to 9 (based upon methodology developed by the ACCF to assess imaging appropriateness). The upper range (7 to 9) implies that the test is generally acceptable and is a reasonable approach, and the lower range (1 to 3) implies that the test is generally not acceptable and is not a reasonable approach. The midrange (4 to 6) indicates a clinical scenario for which the indication for a stress echocardiogram is uncertain. The indications for this review were drawn from common applications or anticipated uses, as well as from current clinical practice guidelines. Use of stress echocardiography for risk assessment in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) was viewed favorably, while routine repeat testing and general screening in certain clinical scenarios were viewed less favorably. It is anticipated that these results will have a significant impact on physician decision making and performance, reimbursement policy, and will help guide future research.

Finance directors may be tasked with managing a business' cash, but a siloed working approach is a thing of the past. An FD Surgery panel explains why company culture is a key consideration.
Recently, the Royal College of Physicians in London hosted the latest FD Surgery event, the only event series for entrepreneurial finance directors.
The FD Surgery brings together a variety of talks from experienced finance directors, and experts in a range of related topics – from GDPR and VAT compliance to managing cyber risk and new tech for FDs.
One of the highlights from the day was a panel exploring how emerging business models are shaking up finance directors' approach to cash flow, forecasting and management.
The panel was chaired by Richard Young, a freelance writer and editor, and consisted of: Lisa Cooke from Mediwin, Scott Dale from Extra Energy, Martin Flint from Lloyds Bank, and Richard West, a former CFO of Clifford Thames.
Cash flow forecasting isn't just important for the top brass, even if they are the ones dealing with the cash day-to-day.
Dale highlighted how forecasts can also be a tool to communicate to staff what they need to do next. He claimed that "it's not a finance issue, it's a whole business issue".
He also argued that, to some extent, it is a customer service issue – businesses need to "give customers the right experience and the fair experience" because if anything goes wrong, you can expect a bill in the next few months. Naturally, this needs to be accounted for in a forecast.
For Cooke, it's important to always be looking at cost-cutting and payment terms, and anything that you can control, control it. If you're looking at those things only when you're in hot water, you're doing something wrong. You have to feel that "buzz in the office to really know what's going on".
At the end of the panel, each of the panellists offered up their top tips for cash flow forecasting.
Flint offered up strong and steady advice – have a robust 13-week cash flow forecast in place as a way of letting people know what's going on in the business.
For Cooke, it's about knowing your inputs and your outputs. It's a bit like herding cats, you have to know what's going in and what's going out, close off all the exits and find strategies to funnel money into the right places.
West and Dale both encouraged FDs to find a good culture fit – make cash everybody's issue, not just the finance director's, and have the finance people working as part of the business so they know what's going on day-to-day and get any early warning signs that might otherwise go unreported.
In this way, cash flow forecasting turns out to be more about culture and relationships that might perhaps be expected.


According to a number of sources that seem to be well-informed when it comes to the stuff that's going on inside Apple, under the new CEO, Tim Cook, the company has been trying to find new ways of keeping its employees happy and satisfied.
One of the latest initiatives that the management has tried is called "Blue Sky". Known only to select employees, Blue Sky allows them to spend some of their time working on a pet engineering project - something different from their daily routine and main project. The time that employees are allowed to spend on such side projects is said to be about a few weeks. The Wall Street Journal reminds us that such initiatives are nothing new and are much more popular with other Silicon Valley companies like Google, for example, which has the so-called "20% time", allowing some of the staff to spend up to 20% of their time working on pet projects. Such moves basically aim not only to let employees take a break from their usual work, but also generate some fresh ideas that could be later implemented in the company's main products.
Since Tim Cook has become the chief executive officer of Apple, he has also introduced improved employee discounts on Apple products, as well as the Apple Matching Gifts Program, which has the company match every dollar that a U.S. Apple employee donates to a non-profit organization. Such initiatives were not really the style of Apple's former CEO and co-founder, Steve Jobs, who liked to manage the company more like a military institution than a technology enterprise. Then again, we shouldn't forget that it was Jobs who brought the dough back in the pockets of the people working at Apple, and it's still a bit too early to see how Tim Cook is going to fare in the long run.
Little things like these make Apple the greatest company in the world.
this is no problem. stealing others ideas to help people is incomparable. pls don't mislead people..
Ummmm, Google has been doing this for years; their working environment is a child's playground basically.
how about the underpaid sweathouses in China that actually make their products, any move to make them happy?
So.. they are like the house elves in harry potter? Taking absolute pleasure in serving their masters. Just an analogy though... based on what you said. No offence to anyone.
I've read a lot that points to this being true, the working conditions are extremely stressful, they don't get paid as well as other tech companies, and they do it because they totally buy into the Apple philosophy IMO, if I worked for a company as rich as Apple, I'd be asking for a lot more pay than what they offer.
Apple to make staff happy? That's gotta be hard for them because they lack integrity.
That's weird, I thought all Apple employees are happy at their job.

Amazing! These Country Music Legends Were Married 73 Years
Divorce, Divorce, Divorce. It seems like in the entertainment world (and the real world, for that matter), the 'D' word is everywhere. Heck, if a couple can stay married for 5 years the general public is amazed it lasted so long.
And then there's the story of the greatest love story in the history of country music. Heck, the greatest love story perhaps in the entire entertainment industry.
It's the story of Johnnie Wright and Kitty Wells.
She of course was the first female superstar in country music. Everyone who followed, from Patsy to Loretta, Tammy to Dolly, Reba to Trisha to Miranda, they all owe a debt to Kitty Wells.
Kitty's 1952 hit 'It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels' is more than a hit, more than a classic, more than a signature song. It's a country music standard.
But wait...Johnnie Wright was no slouch himself! Half of the popular 'Johnnie & Jack' country music duo, the boys joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1952.
As a solo artist, Johnnie had a #1 country smash in 1965 with the Tom T. Hall penned 'Hello, Vietnam'.
But hey, back to the 'Love Story'. Did you know Kitty and Johnnie were married in 1937? Yep, and did the marriage last? Yeah, I'd say so.
Johnnie passed away in 2011...just 33 days shy of their 74th wedding anniversary! Kitty died in 2012 at the age of 92.
It's not a great country music love story...it's a great American love story.
And now, Kitty sings the song that has become a standard in the music industry.

Reported by Roland Duffell:
I was wondering if you have heard anything about boat ownership.
When there are 4 owners of a yacht in a boat share.
We have recently heard in Fethiye from transit log agents that new Turkish rules will only allow 3 owners maximum to a yacht now.
It had been a maximum of 4 owners, but now we have been told that this is changing to 3.
How can they just take a member of a syndicate off.
If the fourth member uses the boat they will charge a fee of €600 every time they use the boat.
Could you please pass this on.

We have spent the last two years 17/18 cruising Turkey from Bodrum to Finike. We cruise from end of March to end of November, our experience is very good, friendly people and all very peaceful. Food and mooring is not expensive by EU standards, however, the marina's, which are fantastic, are ferociously expensive and half empty which makes them soulless places to stay. That said, there are many nice anchorages for free and town quays were charges are most reasonable, the restaurant pontoons are generally free if to eat lunch or dinner there, the food is very good generally.
It's a good place to have boat works done for reasonable money, we found them very efficient and good at what they do, the trick is to avoid paying out too much money up front and hold a decent balance until the works are complete, their tough horse traders who negotiate hard.
Checking in and out is easy if you engage a Turkish agent, you can also avail of duty free booze and tobacco on the way out.
There is a lot of negative talk about holding tanks and fines etc, we had no problems, just have the mandatory blue card stamped once a month whenever near the far and few pump out stations just in case.
Finally, don't leave Turkey without a visit to a Turkish bath, its a wonderful experience, there's nothing sleazy about these establishments, they are very well run.

I renewed my transit log in Eski Foca in August and had not experience this. I had heard rumors about this. I tried to nail down the laws in question but to no avail. Lee onboard LeeZe Üçkuyular, Izmir Turkey

***Further UPDATE on the 185 day Turkey customs issue 26/10/2018 ***
Further to my last update, I am sorry to say that although we were told the issues had been cleared up.... They haven't!!
Many foreign flagged boats where the registered owners are living in Turkey are still being refused entry! We are now told that there needs to be a change in the law, which means that this wasn't a misinterpretation at all!
Didim & Kusadasi are the last ports we have heard have been refusing entry, and according to agents more ports have also been informed!
***UPDATE on the 185 day Turkey customs issue ***
Following a meeting in Istanbul between leading customs officials, members of the CA, the Turkish Tourism association & marina managers, it has been confirmed that the information used to deny us entry into Turkey without Kejstral was a misinterpretation of a regulation that is meant for land vehicles.
This has now been cleared up and all ports along the Turkish coast have been informed.
The correct regulation states that a foreign flagged boat may stay in Turkey for up to 5 years, as long as the owner uses the boat once every 2 years. If the owner takes the boat out of Turkey the clock is reset and can remain for a further 5 years.
I would like to thank Tuncay Ozses (Kas Marina manager) for all his help & assistance in the correcting of this misunderstanding, without him and the Didim marina manager this would never have been resolved!
Please read this, it may concern you or sailors you may know!
A few days ago we sailed from Kalymnos to Didim with the intention of checking back into Turkey.
We moored in the marina and headed for the Harbour Master, who entered our transit log details onto the system and then stamped our paperwork.
From here we were sent to the Port Police who immediately stamped our passports and then on to Customs. This is where our whole world was turned upside down!!!
Initially all seemed ok, but then faces began to take on a serious look and phone calls began to be made. The room now began to fill up with everyone from customs officers, Port Police, shipping agents and the Harbour Master.
Something was wrong, we could feel it !!!
Atilla the agent then began to try and explain what was going on, and it all revolved around the boat being Foreign flagged!
Customs head office were under the impression that being foreign flagged, we, as owners must spend at least 185 days out of Turkey within a 12 month period before we are allowed to bring Kejstral back in!
Neither ourselves, the Port Police, the agent or the Marina manager (yes he had joined the party now too) had ever come across this regulation!
More phone calls and more discussion culminated in customs informing us we had to leave immediately and go back to Greece!
We have Turkish residency and a Turkish marina contract, but none of this was taken into account, and we were forced to leave!!
It is now 4.45pm, there is 28 knots blowing from the NW, the sea state is awful and we have to make our way to the nearest Greek anchorage before dark! We didn't make it to Xerokambos in Leros until 8.45pm and had to drop the hook in total darkness.
We have since been in contact with various ports along the Turkish coast, and everyone has been informed by Didim to refuse us entry 😢
Kejstral has now been forced to take shelter in Leros marina, where we have had no option but to take out a 12 month contract.
We never spend 185 days out of Turkey as we live there, so on this ruling we will never again be able to enter Turkey with the boat..... Stupid!!!!
We are told by a few that this has been a miss interpretation of the rule and will be resolved soon...... I won't hold my breath!!!

14 June 2018. Anchored in Western side of Ucagiz Limani in the bay about 5 minutes dingy ride from the main harbour (36° 11.625' N, 029° 50.589' E) Went ashore to dinner at Hassan (good restaurant). Upon returning to the yacht +/-2200 found that the boat had been broke into. Two forward hatches were forced open breaking the Lewmar locking mechanisms. For reasons unknown nothing was taken, perhaps they were disturbed. We had been advised by another British boat the day before that they thought their yacht had been entered when they were in this area but surprisingly to them nothing of value had been taken. As a precaution we had placed all items of value out of sight. Trying to make a report to the local Coast guard but there is a general lack of interest. Sad to say this is a yacht break-in risk area!
FOREIGN YACHTS IN TURKEY - THINGS ARE QUIET....
From an e-mail sent by Gwen Bylund (SSCA), based in Turkey.
In general, in the Marmaris area and along the coast, "things" are quiet. It's not because it's winter but as a result of yachtsmen/women leaving Turkey over the past few years. In brief, marinas raised mooring and other fees, the government raised the prices of the transit log and visas/resident permits, and local chandleries/industrial areas have also raised their prices.
Keep in mind that some marinas have more vacant slips than they do have occupied slips. At the moment, Yat Marina in Marmaris Bay does have fewer slips since boat owners have an annual habit of leaving the area (and sailing): The owners leave for home (UK, Europe, Russia and Scandinavia) about the end of October, to return the end of April (7-8 months). Netsel Marina has moved any remaining boats to 2 pontoons only. Netsel says they can accommodate 1,000 boats, but there's too many slips unoccupied, especially the larger yacht moorings and on the hard standing places.
On the hard standing, the fee is 30% more than the mooring fee. The first 10 days on hard standing are complimentary but IF one wants more time, those ten days are added on to the additional days so you don't actually have the first 10 days complimentary.
The Blue card is still in effect. It is to be purchased upon check-in to Turkey. It doesn't expire. There is a fee for the card. Since fees rise constantly here (one reason why people leave!), the most recent price I could find was 25 TL.
Anyone here (women, children, men, yachtsmen/women and foreigners alike) require Turkish offered health insurance. This is calculated: single person, couple, entire family TL 480 per month. If anyone is over 65 years of age there is private company insurance available. Under 65 there is the state insurance at 480 Tl per month. Even if yachtsmen/women, et al have international health insurance they must still take on the Turkish insurance. This expenditure is another reason people leave Turkey.

I am looking at a boat that has a portable toilet - like a portapotty or similar - how would that go in Turkey re. blue cards and the like? tia

I know it is a 2 years old comment but I wanted to reply. You need to change the list in transit log if you are sailing with your guests. They are all considered as crew. I went sailing on US flagged boat with my family (we are all owners of the boat.) and the coast guard said we have to change the transit log. Turkish owners of US flagged boats don't do that because it is usually not checked.
We were lucky because the coast guard personnel was understanding but I am sure there is a fine if the people on board are different from the transit log.
Posted on Cruisers Forum - 29 July 2017
I have just completed 3 months cruising in Turkey, having bought my boat there in December.
The Antalya agent who set up my transit log charged me €400 (yes Euro, not Lira) because "boat had the new owner".
When I left Datca yesterday, the agent there claimed there was a stamp missing on the paperwork, so I must pay a penalty of €200 plus his fees. When I asked for a receipt I was told it would take time and I would have to stay longer.
So €625 in fees.
At the same time as going through the exit procedure, the local harbour police started hassling me, forcing me to buy a new Turkish flag (old one was ok but had a minor fray). I suspect in cahoots with the agent so I didn't challenge the "penalty".
If this expense wasn't a scam, then the fees are shocking.
By comparison, I entered Greece in Symi, did all clearances myself in less than an hour, total costs €45, and really helpful and friendly immigration staff and harbour police.

The Coast Guard issued (us with) a fine for the absence of the Blue Card. The Blue Card was not issued by our agent who did our CHECK-IN and TRANSIT LOG in Istanbul for $500.

Ayvalik Setur Marina
In 2016 in June we stayed for 2 nights at a cost of 278TL.
In 2017 in June for 2 nights, the price has gone up to 448TL, an increase of about 60%.
It seems that more the Turkish economy suffers the higher the prices are!

We would like to express our satisfaction with the complete refit and painting delivered by MAVIMAR YACHTING in Marmaris. Since coming onto the project, Mavimar's team has carried out incredible energy into ensuring that the project runs smoothly. We will definitely work with them again in a future project.
svgoldenglow
Wow, Amaroo, that's awful. We feel fortunate because we similarly left our boat in a Setur marina (Kas) in Turkey in the winter of 2015/2016 and didn't pump out between October and April and didn't have a problem when we did (but we did our last and first pumpouts at the marina, which perhaps made the difference.
Also, we were never boarded by the coast guard as you were. We sailed up and down the Aegean, Lycian and Turquoise coasts of Turkey in the spring of 2016, pumping out every few weeks, but probably not more often that 3-4 and had no problems. So sorry for your bad luck and that astronomical fine. Ugh!

"Boat owners also have to use the Blue card at least once a year or be fined"
YACHTS IN TURKISH WATERS BEWARE AS A ONCE A YEAR PUMP/BLUE CARD USAGE IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT ONCE A YEAR USE OF BLUE CARD DOES NOT APPLY. REGULAR BOATS IN THE AREA OF DATCA HAVE THEIR BLUE CARD SCANNED AT A FACILITY NO LESS THAN ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS. ACCORDING TO DATCA COAST GUARD BLACK/GREY WATER USAGE IS DEEMED AT 30 LTR PER PERSON PER DAY. PERHAPS OTHER AREAS ARE NOT AS STRINGENT BUT DATCA AUTHORITIES ARE NOT FLEXIBLE WITH THIS.
Boat owners are responsible for maintaining the necessary official paperwork for any country they visit. Particularly important when leaving the boat behind in a country whilst you travel abroad is documented renewal should the paperwork expire while you are out of the country.
For instance, every 5 years a foreign flagged vessel must check out of Turkish waters and then check back in if they wish to stay in Turkey. Boat owners also have to use the Blue card at least once a year or be fined. Note too that the transit log expires annually and cannot be renewed unless the blue card has been used. A number of liveaboards in Turkey have offered the following advice:
-	If a boat does not have a holding tank a friendly marina will just run the blue card through the system and no problems (this is not widely known...). Some people take a bag of rubbish and show it to the marina management.
-	Using an agent can help a great deal with keeping your Turkish paperwork in order, up to date and avoiding fines. The key in Turkey is not letting your paperwork expire.
-	If someone has an agent (to check in and out of Turkey, renew all documentation from the boat owner), then the agent takes care of this blue card thing.
WARNING TO ALL YACHTS IN TURKEY!!!
We pumped out in Antalya on arrival last year, September, and left the marina, and Turkey, the next day for 7 months overseas. Our vessel was on the hardstand the entire time we were away. When we returned to Antalya, we anti-fouled and launched the boat, sailing from Antalya to the Datca area in June.
We have exceedingly large tanks that can hold for several weeks before needing to pump out. We proceeded to Datca to pump out but they did not have the correct fittings at their facility to perform a pumpout. We were told to come back in a week and it should be ok to pump out then. We still had enough room in tanks, approximately 85% full since leaving Antalya in June. We were grateful that we had large tanks. Amazingly, in all the travels we have had in Turkey, it is very rare to see any sizable vessel pumping out on shore anywhere.
The day before we were due to return to Datca to pump out, or attempt to pump out, the Coast Guard visited the anchorage, 10 NM east of Datca, and looked at our paperwork. As we had not pumped out since September, it appears they felt we must have pumped out somewhere other than at a designated facility. They did not take into account the boat was unattended on the hardstand in Antalya for 7 months. We subsequently acquired a letter from Setur Marina Antalya confirming this but Coast Guard officials were not interested in seeing the letter or hearing anything about it. We were told that it is deemed that the usage per person per day for waste water is 30 litres. That means they considered that we have 60 liters per day going into our tanks. That is absurd. The Coast Guard informed us that we should be pumping out EVERY 2 WEEKS!
In Datca we were told that we would not be authorized to leave Turkey without paying the fine. We paid to the tax office 9,500.25 TL!! Paying within 30 days gave us a 25% discount on the fine which was 12,267.00 TL ($4,100.00 USD)!!
We enquired about appealing the decision but were told by all we spoke to that no-one has ever been successful in appealing, regardless of the facts or proof of any kind that can prove nothing was done wrong. We enquired at Customs, Datca, regarding the appeals process and they would not inform us where to start apart from saying "Go see your agent". Our agent, the biggest in Datca, said it was a waste of time and money to even try.
We do not understand the paperwork as it is in Turkish. I refused to sign as I did not know the contents. The paperwork was written on the deck of a gulet anchored in the same bay on 11th July at 1430 hrs, which, according to the paperwork they presented was when the offense occurred, but we are not sure. The officials were told our tanks were just over just over 85% full at that time and I offered to show them but they were not interested. I informed the officials that we tried to pump out in Datca and was informed by the official that "It is not our problem!" We have subsequently found out that the Datca pump out facility has been inoperative for a long time. Therefore, perhaps, virtually all the boats in Datca may be contravening the laws.
BEWARE IF YOU PLAN TO VISIT TURKEY. MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR BLUE CARD SCANNED EVERY 2 WEEKS OR PAY A HEFTY FINE.
March 29, 2016 Travel WARNING(Not an Alert) was issued US State Department--This is for Izmir and Mugla provinces on the western coast most popular with yachts and previously considered not to be in a (too)risky area. The US Government is ordering the forced evacuation of all family members of US Government civilians in those provinces.
Also, they have "restricted official travel to Turkey to 'mission-critical' travel only". The Warning is here https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/alertswarnings/turkey-travel-warning.html
This comment from a long-term liveaboard/cruiser based in Marmaris.
Where have all the cruising boats wintered in Turkey gone?
In the past 8 years at least, during autumn, winter, and spring, the marinas in Marmaris have been full of 45-60 yachtsmen/women staying in Marmaris full time. This population, of course, is great for social activities and an interesting blend of personalities and cultures in the yachting community.
This year, however, the yachting community population is so low that it's a struggle to get 8-10 persons together for any kind of activity or get-together. I've never seen so few people in Marmaris Bay!
More yachts appear to be berthing for the winter in Finike, which is much further south of the usual and popular cruising area of this part Turkey, and many are leaving for winter in Greece, Malta, Crete and other Mediterranean ports.
From emails, I have received and face-to-face conversations with departing cruisers, possible reasons for this exodus may be:
1)	An increase in marina charges (mooring, lift and launch, electricity, etc.) not only in Marmaris Bay but in Turkey in general.
2)	Fear of political instability (although this hasn't had an effect on Marmaris and other northern/western ports and communities).
3)	Changes in residence permits (1 year vs 5 years, application procedures etc.), plus local and governmental health insurance fees rising and their non-recognition of international health care companies.
About the only positive thing about Turkey reported to me by foreign cruisers is the favourable exchange rate of the GBP and USD (1 USD at today's rate is 2.98 Turkish Lira and 1 GBP over 4 Turkish Lira).
The general rule of thumb when cruising is to get 3 quotes for any service or product before paying any money.
Transit Log: Regardless of what an agent tells you, you ONLY have to amend your transit log when you add or subtract CREW or CAPTAIN. If you have GUESTS coming, their names are NOT required to be on the transit log. If you are in Marmaris and using Ankar Agency for help, she will tell you differently.
But she is wrong. Read the rules in English associated with the transit log. It never mentions the word "guests." If this was required, every Turkish owner of an American flagged boat would be updating his transit log every weekend. And they are NOT! So do not be fooled into doing so. The agents that tell you this are just trying to line their pockets with your money.

On my way from Finike to Fethiye my alternator and/or my regulator stopped working and in Fethiye I was recommended an English engineer for repairs. When I phoned him he said, I will send my electrical engineer, but in fact sent someone from another company, who came and removed my alternator and regulator.
Next day he returned saying that they had bought a new one as the other would cost nearly as much to repair. Stupidly - I must have been mesmerised - when he said 'you don't want that old one?', I said no. That's not like me!
Next day I found that the new alternator was very inefficient and as I had since been told by my son that my Mastervolt alternator and Alpha-pro regulator were expensive and should be repaired and reinstalled, I asked the engineer to return them. When he did this we saw at once that the alternator he brought was not mine, this one had obviously been underwater for a considerable time.
To me, it seems the two are running a scam to not repair broken parts, claiming it would cost too much, selling the cruiser a new piece of kit and not returning the old one (i.e. refurbishing it and selling it on).
I want to warn other cruisers that this kind of thing is happening here and to take care.

Checking into turkey
The cost at Datca Seher Tours it 280 TL and if you require them to supply a Visa EU boats it 25 euro. [email protected]
Bozburun, lodos yachting 105 Euros
Checking in and out of Tukey and exchanging crew and skippers- no problem. I came to Istambul with the crew, we made crew exchange- only needed an agreement signed by both skippers, that we exchange crew there, and confirmation from the charter agency, that they know it.
We had to purchase new transit log, that's obvious. Check out was made in Ayvalik- highly recommend! With no agent and problems, You just need to take a walk to the ferry terminal to do the clearance, and back to harbourmaster, which is close to the marina. I'll mention that yacht was Greek flag, I expected some turbulence, but was nicely surprised:)

We purchased the US registered Farr 50PH in September '14. The boat was in Didim at D-Marin marina where we left her after a quick shakedown cruise. We are secured with YachtWORKS who are resolving a number of issues we discovered on the shakedown. Our experience with Can (John) the owner of YachtWORKShas been extremely good. They are professional and the pricing reasonable for the work to date...particularly a new epoxy barrier coat system.
The marina is the best ive seen with travel lifts to 600 tons albeit 4500€ for the Winter including lift. Our survey experience was also exceptional with Yusuf Civelekoglu of Marine Solutions in Bodrum. Our short time in Turkey allowed is to sail onto the North side of the Datca peninsula which was a wonderful opening into Turkey. Landside a trip to Effes is not to be missed along with Didima. New to posting here so...more in the Spring of 2015

Some Australian friends that had their boat shipped to Istanbul, and whose 90-day visa expires August 25, were told that it was absolutely impossible to get a residence permit, or even an appointment to see about a residence permit, before August 25.
They wrote to me and said that they would be wintering in Greece as a result.
I just spoke with Samet, an agent here in Finike, that I've known for about five years, and he said that it used to be difficult, but recently it is very easy. There is no longer a requirement for a Marina contract or Turkish bank account. The only requirement is that you have health insurance, and if it is from another country, it must be international health insurance, that will cover you while you are here. And that needs to be translated into English. You will need some photos and other miscellaneous.
He says that if anyone wants to contact him, that he will be happy to help. : [email protected]
If people will contact him he will help them to get it done in Kemer. N36.60120 E30.54262 (There are several Kemers.) He says it usually takes one day. It is now very easy.
I have no idea what his fees are, but he is a really nice man that has helped me many times over the years.
I know there is still a mountain of confusion about this, but Samet, felt that it was no longer difficult, if you had the translation of the correct kind of insurance. In my American case, my very inexpensive supplemental insurance, that is a supplement to standard Medicare, claims that it will cover me for emergency rooms here, at a maximum charge of US$50.00, and a medevac will cost me a maximum of US$500.00. But read your fine print. Mine actually sounds too good to be true. Best idea is to never need it.
And, it would be good if people can relay their actual, first-hand experiences, on this subject. So many of the emails seem to be rumors. And the most popular rumours are the ones that make your eyes get big, and your blood pressure boil. So, be careful what you forward.
If you want a reliable maintenance company to handle all your boat needs in or around Marmaris we highly recommend Mavimar, owned by Ercan Erkut, former naval officer,yacht builder and restorer. We have had Ercan oversee our winter work for the last 5 years on our 14 meter sailboat. We've had our boat entirely painted, electrical, plumbing, canvas and many other jobs completed ontime, at the agreed price and to our complete satisfaction. His office is located on the street opposite the tennis courts behind Netsel Marina. www.mavimar.com

Checking out of Turkey at Bodrum: We just checked out of Turkey at Bodrum. We were told that we would need an agent, but when we asked the Harbor Master he said as we only had two people on board, we did not need an agent. We did contact our agent in Marmaris, Nadide, who entered our info 'into the system' for no charge. We first visited the Harbor Master, then the Port Police (Passport Control), and finally Customs. No cost and about one hour--all three offices are right near the castle and are within walking distance. Nadide at Anker Marine, Marmaris, will answer any questions and she was a great help.

The more things change, the more they will stay the same
Featured, FUBAR, News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks with reporters during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Whichever party controls the House and Senate after the Nov. 2, 2010 election probably will install the same leaders whose policymaking helped bring about the sour economy, nearly double-digit unemployment and deficit spending that has led voters to call for fresh faces. Retain or lose the majority, Pelosi, 70, faces a far less appealing job as leader of a smaller caucus. Publicly, she has refused to entertain the notion that she will return in any less role than as speaker. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File)
Change at the top? Not necessarily. Whichever party controls the House and Senate after the Nov. 2 election probably will install the same leaders whose policymaking helped bring about the sour economy, nearly double-digit unemployment and deficit spending that has led voters to call for fresh faces.
Different lineups could mean different fates for health care, taxation, government spending and regulation, energy and foreign policy, and President Barack Obama's bid for a second term.
The newly elected, no matter how a big their freshman class, will have to wait for power. At most, they may get junior leadership seats in each chamber as a symbolic gesture to the populist wave they rode in on, lawmakers and congressional officials said.
Democrats would have to find a new leader to run the Senate if they keep their majority but Harry Reid loses to tea party favorite Sharron Angle in Nevada. Little more than a week to the election, their race is a toss-up.
The last time voters turned out a sitting party leader in the Senate was in 2004 when Democrat Tom Daschle of South Dakota lost to Republican Sen. John Thune.
If Republicans make good on what's widely seen as a House majority for the taking, the new speaker is almost certain to be Rep. John Boehner of Ohio. The 60-year-old has been in charge of House Republicans since the last two years of George W. Bush's presidency. Democrats have spent the campaign season portraying him as Bush redux.
Should the GOP fall short, Republicans may look to a new slate of self-described "young guns" who are more strident in many of their views than Boehner. They include current Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the second-ranking Republican; Wisconsin's Paul Ryan, a fiscal conservative who came close to derailing Bush's $700 billion bank bailout; and Kevin McCarthy of California, who after only two years in Congress took charge of recruiting the party's field of House candidates this year.
The three make few bones about their ambitions. They even wrote a book about how they would run the House in a post-Boehner era. Attending the book party earlier this fall, Boehner served up a reality check of sorts: That particular kind of change is not at hand.
"The three of them know that my job is to make sure that they're well-qualified and ready to take my place," Boehner said with a semiserious grin, "at the appropriate moment."
Indeed, if that moment comes anytime soon, it'll most likely be because the Republicans failed to win the majority in November.
In that less-likely scenario, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., probably would keep her post as second in the line of succession to the presidency, even after being vilified by Republicans throughout this election season as the face of the Washington establishment.
Retain or lose the majority, Pelosi, 70, faces a far less appealing job as leader of a smaller caucus. Publicly, she has refused to entertain the notion that she will return in any less role than as speaker.
No one has stepped forward to challenge her or her lieutenant, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland, another "old bull" with 30 years in the House. It's uncertain whether Pelosi would want to head her party as minority leader, a job she held four years during Bush's presidency, or for how long.
A few conservative Democrats in difficult re-election fights have said they would not vote for her again to lead the party. More have said they would consider voting for others. That could pose a challenge for Pelosi if Democrats emerge from the election still holding a narrow majority. But Pelosi carried her caucus unanimously in the last two elections for speaker.
In the Senate, look for two of Reid's lieutenants to compete to succeed him as the Democrats' leader should he lose to Angle. They are third-term Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, an unabashed liberal and genial and experienced vote wrangler, and Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, a scrappy and prescient dealmaker.
On the Republican side, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky assembled enough votes months ago to retain his position as head of what's sure to be a bigger and feistier GOP caucus. McConnell won a promise from South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint not to challenge him.
But DeMint's support for anti-GOP establishment candidates, some of them tea partiers, in several primaries position him to become a de-facto leader of the Senate GOP's more conservative wing.

One Easy Way to Avoid Ever Getting Dragged off a Plane
If you haven't seen it by now, let me fill you in on what is likely to be of 2017's biggest PR mess recently perpetrated by United Airlines. In a nutshell, United Airlines found themselves in a position to require four passengers to surrender their seats on a flight from Chicago to Louisville over the weekend. After offering vouchers for mileage credit and still having zero volunteers, the company claims that a randomized computer selection identified the passengers who would have their tickets canceled. What followed with one passenger who was unwilling to surrender his seat is pretty unfortunate and can be seen
in the video from the New York Times. The fact that United felt it was a good decision to literally drag a customer off the plane is bewildering. United Airline's gaff has rightfully dominated the national conversation over the past couple of days, but I believe there's an opportunity to learn from both the airline and the passenger in this situation. And frankly, why shouldn't we? If there's an opportunity to reduce my chances of getting dragged of a plane, then I, for one, believe that I owe it to myself to take it.
The Airline is Only Guilty of Being Uncreative
Okay, this is where we'll likely get a bit divisive. I have no problem with passengers being forcibly removed from planes. Period. As a frequent air traveler myself, I understand the "laws of the land" so to speak, are not skewed in my favor. FAA regulations are immutably in favor of the absolute authority of the pilot, flight crew, and any other airline official. Sure, that's a lot of power to put into the hands of people who, at least in this instance, have proven to have highly flawed decision-making skills, but that's just how it is. Therefore, while I'd be quick to vilify the airline employees who failed to consider any other option involving finding an alternate passenger, increasing the incentive to volunteer, or anything short of a violent removal of this gentleman, once they said he needed to be removed, they were well within their rights to do so, forcibly if necessary. At the risk of sounding like an authoritarian apologist, I'd remind the world that this type of control on airplanes is literally designed for the safety of everyone involved- both in the planes and on the ground. Remember that the circumstances that created these draconian laws in the first place were the events on September 11, 2001. That said, the security officer likely violated his departments code of conduct on use of force, but the airline, from my completely inexpert position, is only guilty of being boneheads, and not of any actual rule infraction. Moving on, let's take a look at how easily this can be avoided for anyone who doesn't want to be dragged off a plane.
Never Let a Job Get You Dragged Off a Plane
The man in the video has been identified as Dr. David Dao of Elizabethtown, KY. He claimed that he couldn't leave the flight because he needed to take a shift and care for patients the next day. The veracity of his claim hasn't been confirmed yet, and he has actually been operating on a provisionally reinstated medical license since 2015 after having to surrender it in 2005 following a conviction for charges surrounding illegal distribution of Vicodin. The doctor's history is not on trial here, but it's important to note that a man chose to invoke the need to get to work so vehemently that the airline felt no other options existed short of dragging him off the plane. This is ridiculous. I don't want him or anyone else to be dragged off a plane, or dragged anywhere, for that matter. I certainly don't want someone in this day and age to assert such a need to be physically in an office that it prevents a 75 minute long flight an additional 3 hours. I mean, it's 2017 for crying out loud. Plus, the drive time from Chicago to Louisville is only about 4 hours and 30 minutes so, realistically, there is no excuse to claim an inability to get to work in light of the incentives United was offering. But alas, that was not the case.
One Easy Step to Not Being Dragged off a Plane
Here it is, folks, the one step process to completely avoid this unfortunate event. Chances are good, you already have the ability to do this, too; Work remotely. I know, it's not the sexiest answer in the world, but more often than not, the best solutions are also the simplest ones, too. In fact, it's estimated that over half of all US workers have jobs that can be done remotely, and with the latest innovations for video visits, yes even doctors can work remotely, too! Plus, considering the simplicity of working remotely and the fact that the majority of distance working tools actually save companies upwards of 80% over traditional phone systems, there is never any good reason to get dragged off a plane for work.
It Really is That Simple
To prove just exactly how easy it is to start a remote working policy at work, I can even offer you a free seat at our upcoming Remote Working Webinar. We'll go over all of the aspects of maintaining strong company culture, ensuring open communications, and every other detail that teams new to remote working should consider. While all of those details will be helpful, after you leave the webinar you'll be just as bewildered as I am why anyone would let themselves be brutalized by airport security over a job. Or maybe you think the airline was way off base? Let us know about it by signing up for the webinar or by joining the conversation on Twitter or Facebook and we can discuss it more. Until then, however, please be safe and courteous both on the ground and in the air, and do everything in your power to avoid getting dragged off a plane.

First three phases of Marvel films to be called 'The Infinity Saga'
After the trailer of 'Avengers: Endgame', people have been constantly talking about the last film from the Marvel on the Avengers franchise.
Endgame will mark the end of the third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also, a new phase will commence after Endgame and new superheroes are said to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The first three phases of MCU will be called 'The Infinity Saga'. Marvel Studio president Kevin Feige told Empire Magazine spoke about The Infinity Saga and said, "We wanted to bring to a conclusion a series of movies in a way that had never been done before."
He also referred to other franchises like 'Harry Potter' and 'Lord of The Rings' and said, "Harry Potter had an ending because there were only so many books. Lord of the Rings too. But we thought, 22 movies in, wouldn't it be fun to bring some finality to the storyline."

IMF's Lagarde: Global Downside Risks 'on the horizon'
Global risks are on the horizon, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in a Wednesday news conference.
"If I look at the global economy as it stands at the moment…we have a situation where growth is a little bit tepid," she said. "We have recovery, but it's fragile, it's unbalanced, and there are some downside risks on the horizon." Lagarde highlighted some positive growth in low-income countries, but she also noted a slowdown in growth for countries like China.
Asia's largest economy, she said, has seen "a lot of noise" regarding its stock market volatility, but she said China is "resilient" and strong enough to withstand those swings. Lagarde also said that the equities variations would not affect the IMF's assessment of whether to include the yuan in its special drawing rights (SDR) basket.

Impact evaluation has been an emerging and extremely relevant discussion on the global development arena.
The last decade has seen a momentous rise in social investments in the country, thanks to the mandated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spends and the gaining prominence of impact investing.
According to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (2016), the average CSR spend was INR 9822 crore. A McKinsey & Co. report noted that over the last seven years (2010-2016), impact investors have invested USD 5.2 billion across 485 deals in India.
Looking at the evolved nature of the development sector, social organisations are now increasingly interested in enhancing their documentation, communication and evaluation practices.
This was previously not considered very important since local implementation was seen as the main and primary focus.
Impact evaluation has been an emerging and extremely relevant discussion on the global development arena, since it has proved to be significantly effective in engaging stakeholders and communities, informing decisions and investments, and improving results and social impact.
Most donors in current times require assessments and evaluations to be conducted for the programs they fund. Naturally, many studies show that increased evaluation budgets lead to improved project impacts. However, impact evaluation does not have a success recipe or textbook approach which program managers or leadership could follow. It requires an in-depth understanding of context, communities and external factor considerations.
In the real world, there are certain challenges that every evaluator faces impeding the perfect evaluation. Along with the pressures of conducting good evaluations, common challenges that need to be addressed are mainly of three types: budget, time and data, especially in developing countries.
These constraints, which limit options and data collection methodologies available to the evaluator, have been called 'Real World Evaluation Constraints' (RWE) constraints.
To share experiences and encourage cross-learning in the social sector, 4th Wheel Social Impact has collaborated with RealWorld Evaluation authors to conduct a certified workshop which will discuss practical 'RealWorld' evaluation techniques and also innovative participatory tools for evaluation.

Russia's Claim to Seize Ukraine's Soledar Reveals Rifts Between Prigozhin, Shoigu
Russia's Defense Ministry said in a statement that its troops had taken control of the town, Soledar but made no mention of the Kremlin-affiliated Wagner private military company, marking a years-long clash between these two. When on January 13 Russian forces claimed that Soledar had fallen to its fighters, pointedly saying that the Wagner mercenary group was not involved. After the statement from Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of the private military company, the Russian defense ministry had issued a rare sign of recognition for Wagner Group. Yet Prigozhin has not won the quarrel with the defense ministry.
SOURCE: TELEGRAM ОРКЕСТР ВАГНЕРА | WAGNER HTTPS://T.ME/S/ORCHESTRA_W
Efforts to seize Soledar are considered a sign of infighting between Wagner Group boss and the Russian defense ministry. For Prigozhin, capturing Bakhmut and also Soledar was a matter of honor so he ordered waves of troops into fighting in the region. The Russian occupiers found some weak spots in the defense of Ukrainian soldiers in the Bakhmut area. Most Wagner fighters and regular troops were transferred from Bakhmut to flank Soledar in the north and south. A Russian claim of victory came after a week of intense combat. Ukraine has denied claims by Russia that its forces are now in control of the bitterly contested town of Soledar. The city itself has little strategic value and is unlikely to significantly change the battle for eastern Ukraine. The city yet seems more important for the public quarrel between Prigozhin and the Russian defense ministry. Wagner Group boss seeks to claim victory to show the superiority of his fighters over regular troops. The thing is that both fought alongside each other. In addition, those who tipped the scale were regular soldiers including spetsnaz, airborne troops, and the 20th Guards Mechanized Division. Indeed, Prigozhin is winning information warfare and has the support of what is known as "milbloggers", many of whom are financed either by himself or the FSB. In a nutshell, Wagner Group did not perform as well in the battle of Soledar as Prigozhin would have thought. Wagner Group boss lashed out at Russian generals, considering them enemies of Russia. The question is how the quarrel might influence the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia is hoping to stage a major ground assault, where a set of objectives have been specified. Prigozhin is likely to claim victory but whether Gerasimov will allow this is not known. Such disputes within Russia are beneficial for Ukraine.

Iconic. There's no more suitable word to describe the Goldie 'look'.
It's hard to think of something to say about the BSA Gold Star that hasn't been said already, such is the impact it's had – and arguably still has – on motorcycling and its followers.
In engineering terms the Goldie is simplicity itself, yet in both 350 and 500cc guises it represents a true high point in the development of the traditional British sporting single.
Light, powerful, fast, focussed and yet incredibly versatile, Gold Stars have conquered the Isle of Man, the short circuits, the International Six Days Trial, scrambles tracks and trials sections – not to mention the countless battles fought on the arterial routes of 1950s and 60s Britain; arguably there never was and never will be a better all-round sporting machine.
Now, it is at this point in the proceedings that I'd usually start relaying the rather protracted tale of how the Gold Star was born of rather humble beginnings – not what one would expect of such a world-conquering icon – and that if it wasn't for that fateful day at Brooklands in 1937, when four-times TT winner Wal Handley came out of retirement and took a tuned Empire Star to victory and a fastest lap of 107.57mph, we'd not be talking about them at all.

El Tělovýchovná jednota Trenčiansky Telocvičný Spolok Trenčín (en español: Unidad de Educación Física y Gramática Trenčiansky de Trenčín), conocido simplemente como TTS Trenčín, fue un equipo de fútbol de Eslovaquia que alguna vez jugó en la Primera División de Checoslovaquia, la liga de fútbol más importante de aquel país.

Historia
Fue fundado en el año 1904 en la ciudad de Trenčín con el nombre Trencsény Torna Egyesület (TTE).

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial jugó en la Primera División de Eslovaquia, ya que en aquellos años las ligas de la República Checa y de Eslovaquia eran competiciones separadas. En la década de los años 1960s cambió su nombre por el de Jednota Trencín, obteniendo el subcampeonato de la Primera División de Checoslovaquia en 1963, solo por detrás del FK Dukla Praga.

En 1966 y 1968 participó en la Copa Mitropa y descendió en 1972. En 1975 retorna a la máxima categoría, donde permaneció hasta 1980, y descendió a la Tercera División en 1981. Al año siguiente cambió su nombre por el más reciente y retornó a la Segunda División, aunque descendió al tercer nivel en 1985. Jugó en la Primera División de Checoslovaquia más de 400 partidos y se ubica en el lugar 24 de la tabla histórica de la Liga.

En la última temporada de Checoslovaquia en 1992/93, terminaron en el tercer nivel, ubicados en el sétimo lugar por encima del Ozeta Dukla Trenčín, con quien terminaría fusionándose y desapareciendo para dar paso al FK AS Trenčín.

Past tense, if I had to answer the question of what is the most important life skill a parent should teach their children, I would have answered with something along the lines of kindness, respect, character, commitment, etc.
Furthermore, I would have also held up a blue, Lion King imprinted Pull Up along side the porcelain potty and described how I delivered an ingenious and convincing SWOT analysis on potty training to the four year old. Why? That was the focus of the day. The half bag of Pull Ups in my kid's bedroom is a testament to the strong willed genetic predisposition my children are "blessed" with.
Current tense, I have more of a bird's eye perspective.
Every single one of our children are strategically placed into a war the moment their DNA begins to replicate. For some, the struggle begins in the womb and the fight to live a whole life begins before the first breathe. Other children undergo environments and experiences that directly cause them to start life's battleground on the front line with no training and no arsenal with which to defend themselves. The scary part is even those kids who have ideal circumstances are still failing to live whole, happy lives.
How do we as parents ensure that our children turn out okay? I ask myself this alot.
I don't know if that is a realistic burden a parent should put on themselves. Do many of us ignorantly attempt to control their destinies anyway? Sure we do. So what can we do now while they are young and in the training stages of life that might make a real impact?
Know what you will do when life gets hard.
The good times are fairly easy to navigate. The difficult times are the moments that define futures.
These are the conversations I'm now having with my kids, or, more accurately, ATTEMPTING to have with them.
So there you have it. I think it's the most important life skill I want to teach my kids. I never said it was going to be easy!
I'll let you in on a little secret I have learned. It doesn't matter if you are a mother who works outside of the home or one that spends every waking hour with your children. All mothers struggle with finding their value.
In fact, every individual desperately desires significance and we often look for that in all the wrong places before ideally understanding our purpose.
Life circumstances, divine intervention and the financial reality that my husband and I will most likely have three children in college over a span of TEN years, has resulted in a major life change for us. Mama is going back to paid work! In fact, I start TOMORROW. Fortunately, I thrive on change and I'll be resuming career work in a field that I thoroughly enjoy. However, regardless of job status, my "value" remains unchanged.
Interestingly enough, when my oldest two were little and I worked outside of the home, I always felt guilty for being away from them so much. Ironically, for the first three years of being with them full-time and adding on a third kid, I felt guilt for not contributing financially and frustrated with having little tangible goal achievement. In either role, I had a hard time determining my value. For the last three years, I found contentment in my role and changed my mindset. Now that my daily duties are changing again, I now know that my value is steadfast.
If you are a mother struggling to find your value in whatever season of life you are in, I share these three truths on motherhood that I have learned.
It's quality time not quantity. When we are with them, make the time count. Play with them, make lasting memories, meet their daily needs, allow them to grow up in the healthiest family environment you can provide and show them the discipline when they need it.
Also, when you have bad days and feel you have accomplished no loving of any kind, then that means you are normal.
This one is particularly tough. Why can't they all be the same and why are we always tired, right? Of my three kids, one tends to keep emotions bottled in, the other won't stop talking and the third tends to want to have heart to heart discussions right at bedtime after he has stalled for forty five minutes and I'm about to drop from exhaustion.
As they get older and spend more time at school and with friends more than they do with us, we have to make the increasingly limited one on one time intentional, introspective and investigative. Regardless of our employment status, there is the certain reality that our influence and talk time will become less but diligently working to communicate a safe and honest open door policy is a must.
Whether that means through food on the table, a trip to the park, college funds, our limited free hours spent at their extracurriculars, etc., mothers make it happen.
Learning and accepting our value as mothers is a process and it isn't how much money we can save for or spend on them. Nor is it how many awards our children can accumulate. Value also isn't necessarily defined if our children choose to make the right choices 100% of their adult lives because at some point they become accountable for their own actions.
What mother is perfect? None. What mother tries their best? Most. What mother has value in what they do and who they are? ALL.
As I return back to career work tomorrow, I take these truths with me and believe myself to be a better mother and employee. When mothers are at work, we've got this, because we can juggle chaos 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. When mothers are at home, we've got this, because we know that loving our family means putting the family unit first when we are together.
Mothers are imperfect, yet perfection in our own unique way.
Do what you do and how you do it mama because the value of motherhood is priceless.

The pro-immigration EU migration policy has failed
Press Release by MEP Tamás Deutsch
A special report of the European Court of Auditors (ECA) was presented today in the Budgetary Control Committee of the European Parliament. The report examined whether EU funds provided to Greece and Italy, two countries particularly affected by the refugee crisis, were used properly and achieved the desired results. Fidesz MEP Tamás Deutsch MEP is the committee responsible for the report.
The European Court of Auditors paints a disastrous picture of the examined programs. The report clearly shows that the resettlement system has failed and despite the generous pro-immigration EU support, it has not been possible to speed up the procedures for examining asylum applications, to make expulsions more effective and asylum seekers continue to be held in critical conditions, especially in camps in Greece.
The vast majority (more than 80% in certain countries) of migrants resettled in another EU Member State flee to other places. The report points out that there is still no follow-up mechanism to know where asylum seekers are, because most of them leave Greece and Italy without having their fingerprints taken, which would be the only way to identify them later. This, of course, represents a huge security threat.
European identity can only rely upon the identities of the Member States
Press Release by László Trócsányi The European Parliament held a debate on the Conference on the Future of Europe on […]
Green transition cannot be financed from cohesion and agricultural funds
Press Release by MEP Edina Tóth The European Parliament discussed the Commission's proposal on establishing the Just Transition Fund. Fidesz […]
The EU hotspot system has also failed. The ECA report found empty stations in Italy and overcrowded ones in Greece, and proved that hotspots cannot effectively handle the day-to-day waves of refugees. The length of processing applications has nearly doubled in both countries in the past few years as asylum seekers know very well how to delay the final decision. In Italy, asylum applications reach the final appeal stage in more than four years after applying.
The expulsion system does not work either as the actual number of expulsions is extremely low everywhere. The capacity of airplanes, which should repatriate rejected asylum seekers to their country of origin, is mainly unused, and migrants can move forward even after having received the final return decisions. As the report underlines, the European Union does not have any information on how many repatriated asylum seekers try to re-enter the EU.
These are the devastating facts revealed by the EU's own internal investigation. "Immediate action has to be taken. National authorities should be further strengthened and Member States have to be given more resources for border protection. A completely new approach is needed. A new EU asylum policy has to be developed that will halt immigration, has the capacity to handle asylum applications outside the EU's borders and which sets up an effective return system", pointed out Tamás Deutsch at the CONT committee meeting.

After the launch of WhatsApp Web there is another great news, the most popular messaging app WhatsApp will be having a voice service called WhatsApp Voice.
Everyone is waiting for that particular feature in the app, we have already many guides to activate the interface calls with the help root permissions on the internet, but today we will tell you a new method that anyone can perform even with Root.
The method is a modification of the manifest of WhatsApp that goes well to activate the UI: to simplify the task we propose a modified apk already, that you'll just have to download and install. But we want to emphasize that you can not still use voice calls, but only see the interface and implementation currently present, since it is necessary for someone with active calls will call in turn to ensure that they work to you.


After CVS Pharmacy announced that they were eliminating cigarettes and all tobacco products from their stores in 2014, people were struck by the bold move. Could this decision really help people quit smoking? The stats don't lie: A recent study published by CVS' Health Research Institute in the American Journal of Public Health found that cutting nicotine from the shelves has had a positive impact on smokers, especially those who purchased their cigarettes at CVS stores.
After analyzing the buying behavior of nearly 9,000 households at major drug, food, big box, dollar, convenience, and gas station retailers one year before and after the decision, CVS researchers found that people who purchased their cigarettes exclusively at CVS Pharmacy were 38 percent more likely to stop buying cigarettes. Those who bought three or more packs per month were more than twice as likely to stop buying cigarettes completely.
What's more, when CVS studied purchasing behavior at the population level in 13 states, they found that consumers purchased 95 million fewer packs of cigarettes during the 8 months following the decision. That's about 5 fewer packs per smoker, the study authors say.
Now, CVS is committing their efforts to tobacco use prevention. Cigarette smoking kills nearly half a million Americans every year, making it the largest preventable cause of death and disease in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Not buying the stuff is only the first step, though. Once your nicotine cravings start to hit, check out the best method to quit smoking if you want to nix the habit once and for all.
