The leader of Kurdish separatist group PKK said he’s ready to cooperate with the Turkish government in a bid to end a long-running conflict that’s claimed thousands of lives, according to a statement by the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party, or DEM, on Sunday. “Re-strengthening the Turkish-Kurdish fellowship has not only become a historical responsibility, but also of fateful importance and urgency for all peoples,” Abdullah Ocalan was cited as saying. “I am ready to take the necessary positive step and make the necessary call,” he said when a party delegation met him on Saturday at Imrali Island, where he’s been imprisoned since his capture in 1999. “I have the competence and determination to contribute positively to the new paradigm that Mr. Bahceli and Mr. Erdogan are empowering,” Ocalan said in the statement, referring to the leader of the ultra-nationalist MHP party Devlet Bahceli and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In October, Bahceli had called for Ocalan’s solitary confinement to be lifted and for him to be allowed to speak in parliament and urge the PKK to lay down arms. Erdogan supported his ally’s call. Bahceli’s remarks were seen as an unexpected shift, given his party’s historically hard-line stance against the Kurdish movement. One day after Bahceli’s call, PKK attacked Turkish state defense firm Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc., killing five people. PKK said at the time that the attack had been planned “a long time ago” and wasn’t connected to the recent “political agenda.” Although Ocalan no longer directs the PKK’s day-to-day operations, he’s still revered by the movement’s commanders. At the same time, any peace deal negotiated by him would mean little if the PKK refused to sign onto it. The Kurdish-backed militant group, which has been waging a war for autonomy in Turkey’s southeast since 1984, is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S., Turkey and the European Union. Turkey regards the armed wing of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party of Syria, known as the People’s Protection Units or YPG, as an affiliate of PKK. YPG, which seeks autonomy for Syria’s Kurds, has shown a willingness to work with any power capable of advancing that goal. Syrian Kurds control a zone in Syria’s northeast. On Sunday, Turkey’s Industry and Technology Minister Fatih Kacir announced a new initiative aimed at revitalizing the country’s southeast, an area long affected by clashes with the PKK. The plan, to include $14 billion in investments over the next three years, focuses on agriculture in the region where the population is mostly Kurdish. The southeastern provinces, once a center of intense fighting between PKK and Turkish military, have struggled with underdevelopment and economic instability. ©2024 Bloomberg L.P.

So now the world’s leading “fake news” site, a place where comedy carries the day every day, controls a brand that with a straight face told hurtful, harmful, corrosive lies. Allow yourself to smile. ADVERTISEMENT For those who need the whole story retold: Jones, over many years, built a media empire designed to make people believe the worst fever-dream conspiracies of their imaginations were true, concocted by nefarious always-out-to-get-them political enemies. He exalted in telling people that the attacks on New York City on 9/11 were an inside job, that the Boston Marathon bombing was staged, that a Washington, D.C., pizza parlor was a hub of human trafficking, and that government was putting chemicals in the water to manipulate humans’ sexuality. Along the way, he sold people dietary supplements, toothpaste, and more, falsely claiming they could cure diseases and bolster masculinity — disgusting lies sufficient on their own to make him a pariah. After a classroom of first-graders and a half dozen educators were murdered by a delusional young man armed with an assault rifle in Connecticut in December 2012, Jones went even lower: He called the children’s deaths faked and their families crisis actors, feeding his listeners the poisonous falsehood that mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers enduring the worst agony of their lives were cynical pretenders. When people who’d been fed this poison sent the families hate mail and death threats, the families didn’t sit down and take it. They sued Jones and Infowars for defamation, and ultimately, heroically, yielded a judgment that he would have to pay out nearly $1.5 billion. This required reducing his little empire to a rubble of bankruptcy— then selling the rubble at auction. Few stories about the news media have happy endings nowadays, as trust is systematically breaking down and disinformation is growing like black mold in every online crevice. This one does have a positive outcome. The Onion proclaimed it will now aim “to end Infowars’ relentless barrage of disinformation for the sake of selling supplements and replace it with The Onion’s relentless barrage of humor for good.” Everytown for Gun Safety, funded by Mike Bloomberg, will put advertising dollars into the new enterprise, spreading the important message about the dangers of firearms, a mission shared by The Onion, which highlights the absurdity of unnecessary gun deaths. The Onion aims its barbs every time the United States, a place where guns are the closest thing we have to a national religion, suffers a mass shooting: “‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.” ADVERTISEMENT So, soon enough the clever people who brought the world headlines like “World Death Rate Holding Steady at 100 Percent,” “Drugs Win Drug War,” and “Area Man Passionate Defender of What He Imagines Constitution to Be” will be putting Infowars to good use. Infowars is dead. Long live Infowars. — New York Daily News Editorial Board (nydailynews.com)jili178 apps download 。

The construction industry refers to the commercial sector of manufacturing and trade that deals with creating, maintaining, and repairing infrastructures. The light weight of cellular concrete aids in managing the weight of construction materials and lifting tasks, aling with the walls' high density makes them resistant to fire for an extended period of time. For instance, in March 2023, according to a report published by the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based producer of official statistics, in the fourth quarter of 2022, quarterly construction production increased by 0.3% compared to the third quarter of 2022. Additionally, after a record growth in 2021 of 12.8%, the annual production of construction climbed by 5.6% in 2022 compared to 2021. Therefore, the growing construction industry is driving the growth of the cellular concrete market. Product innovation is the key trend gaining popularity in the cellular concrete market. Major companies operating in the cellular concrete market are focusing on developing innovative products to sustain their position in the market. For instance, in January 2023, Bio Graphene Solutions (BGS), a Canada-based manufacturer and supplier of graphene from non-graphite-based, organic, renewable resources, launched a graphene-enhanced admixture for the concrete market. The graphene admixture can remove at least 15% of the cement content in concrete without compromising the overall concrete product's compression strength performance. Cement is the binding component of concrete that accounts for more than 8% of global CO2 emissions due to its hazardous manufacturing process.

An English couple revealed that they saved over $10,000 on kitchen renovation, after watching DIY videos on TikTok. Amber Morris and her husband, Dan, moved into their recently purchased four-bedroom home in Cottingham, East Yorkshire, in July. Built in 2002, the property needed “a refresh,” and the couple decided to begin by brightening and modernizing the kitchen. However, after receiving a $11,000 quote from contractors to renovate their kitchen, they decided to tackle the project themselves. Dan, a systems engineer, and Amber, a social media manager, opted for a budget-friendly alternative by purchasing $50 vinyl wraps for their countertops instead of replacing them entirely. The couple transformed the space themselves, using a $50 spray gun purchased on Amazon to repaint everything and personally installing a new sink, tap, and extractor fan. By mixing a custom paint shade at B&Q inspired by a Farrow & Ball color they liked, they saved $105. The entire kitchen renovation cost just $713, resulting in a stunning makeover with a bright and airy new look. Amber said: “We knew we wanted to make the kitchen brighter because it was quite dark. But $11K was silly money to pay for it — so we decided to do it ourselves even though we’re desk job people, not DIY people.” To prepare, they turned to TikTok tutorials and sought advice from their parents to learn the basics. “Before this, the most we had ever done was painted a wall,” Amber explained. “We worked out what we needed to buy to do it ourselves and crossed our fingers it would come together.” The pair kicked off their mid-July renovation project by dedicating a weekend to painting the walls and using a spray gun to repaint the cupboards. They spent $375 on a sink and taps to achieve a specific style but opted to install them themselves to save on costs. Related: The end result was a beautifully transformed, lighter and brighter kitchen space for the couple and their dog, Emmy.
