Battle for Ataturk

"Turks are protesting a plan to build a new mosque in Istanbul's Gezi Park... where the historic Atatürk Cultural Centre will be demolished... Ataturk modernised and secularised the country, outlawed Sufi Islam, Westernised the Turkish alphabet... while today Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is increasingly Islamic and dictatorial...

The protesters are in fact mainly middle class pro-Western professionals, secular liberals, feminists and environmental and gay activists..."

All That She Wants

She leads a lonely life

She leads a lonely life

When she woke up late in the morning light

And the day had just begun

She opened up her eyes and thought

Oh what a morning

It's not a day for work

It's a day for catching tan

Just lying on the beach and having fun

She's going to get you

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby 

All that she wants - all that she wants

So if you are in sight and the day is right

She's the hunter you're the fox

The gentle voice that talks to you won't talk forever

It is a night for passion

But the morning means goodbye

Beware of what is flashing in her eyes

She's going to get you

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby 

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby

All that she wants is another baby

She's gone tomorrow boy

All that she wants is another baby 

All that she wants - all that she wants

Aquatic caddis fly larvae with cases incorporating gold, opal, and turquoise

Caddis flies produce aquatic larvae that protect their developing bodies by manufacturing sheaths spun from silk and incorporating substances available in their ecosystem. If other suitable materials are introduced into their environment, they will often incorporate those as well:  gold spangles, semi-precious and precious stones: turquoise, opals, lapis lazuli and coral, as well as pearls, rubies, sapphires, and diamonds seen here.
