Send me a Text Message!SEPTEMBER 2024This month, I'm diving into my first impressions of Istanbul. The flight from Manchester, UK was a breeze, but getting settled was a marathon—long drives, airport chaos, and finding my Airbnb with its 137 steps (hello, daily leg workout!). But the sea view? Totally worth it.Istanbul's got this incredible vibe, split between its bustling European side and the laid-back Asian side. I've been exploring Istiklal Avenue's lively energy, enjoying Turkish ice cream (dondurma), and soaking in the views from the Galata Tower. Navigating the language barrier has been an adventure in itself, but that's all part of the fun, right?There's still so much to see and do, like booking a boat cruise to explore more of the city. Stick around as I share more stories, tips, and a few laughs from my time in this incredible place.

A little different from western-style ice-creams, however; traditional Turkish ice cream is sweet, creamy, stretchy, and chewy at the same time.Galata TowerConsidered among the oldest towers in the world and one of the symbols of İstanbul, Galata Tower (Galata Kulesi) was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List in 2013.

It is early morning on a sunny spring day in April. Heathrow Airport, London, is busy, as usual. Hundreds of people are arriving, leaving, or waiting for planes. In the departure Lounge of Terminal One, a man is sitting reading a newspaper. 这是四月一个阳光明媚的春日清晨。伦敦希思罗机场一如既往地繁忙。数百人正在抵达、离开或等待飞机。在一号航站楼的候机室里，一名男子正坐着看报纸。He doesn't like airports. There are too many people, and he is always nervous when he flies. He looks at his watch impatiently. Then he hears the announcement over the loudspeakers.他不喜欢机场。人太多了，坐飞机的时候他总是紧张。他不耐烦地看了看手表。然后他通过扩音器听到了公告。'British Airways announces the departure of Flight BE570 for Istanbul. Will passengers please proceed to Gate 16 for boarding.' Tom Smith picks up his suitcase and walks towards Gate 16. 英国航空宣布 BE570 航班飞往伊斯坦布尔。请旅客前往16号登机口登机。汤姆·史密斯拿起行李箱，朝 16 号登机口走去。Twenty minutes later, the plane is preparing to leave. It moves slowly across the airport to runway number two. Tom is sitting looking out of the window. The plane suddenly moves forward, races down the runway and rises into the air.二十分钟后，飞机准备起飞。它缓慢地穿过机场到达二号跑道。汤姆坐在那儿看着窗外。飞机突然向前移动，冲下跑道，升到空中。Tom looks down at the houses and roads far below, and smiles. London is behind him. Now he is on his way to Istanbul. Tom relaxed and took a letter from his pocket. Resat Bey Apt 11-3, Kamerot Sokak, Ayazpasa, Istanbul.汤姆低头看着下面远处的房屋和道路，微笑着。伦敦在他身后。现在他正在前往伊斯坦布尔的路上。汤姆放松下来，从口袋里拿出一封信。 Resat Bey Apt 11-3, Kamerot Sokak, 阿亚兹帕夏, 伊斯坦布尔。My dear Tom, Thank you for your letter. I am so happy that you can come and visit me for a holiday. Life here in Istanbul is very interesting. I am enjoying my work, but I miss you very much. It will be wonderful to see you again. I'm sure we will have a very nice holiday. Spring is here, and the weather is beautiful. I have to work on Monday 14th of April, the day you arrive. So I can't come to the airport to meet you, but you can take a taxi from the Air Terminal to Taksim Square.我亲爱的汤姆，谢谢你的来信。我很高兴你能来看我度假。伊斯坦布尔的生活非常有趣。我很享受我的工作，但我非常想念你。再次见到你真是太好了。我相信我们会度过一个非常愉快的假期。春天来了，气候宜人。我必须在 4 月 14 日星期一上班，也就是你到达的那天。所以我不能来机场接你，但你可以从航站楼乘出租车到塔克西姆广场。That's in the centre of the new part of the city. There's a big hotel called the Park Hotel near the square. I'll meet you there at 5 O'clock. We'll meet in the American Bar. The view over the city is beautiful. I can't wait to see you again, Tom. I have so much to tell you. So remember, the Park Hotel, Taksim Sqaure, 5 O'clock. See you on the 14th. Love, Angela.那是在城市新区的中心。广场附近有一家大酒店，叫公园酒店。我五点钟在那里见你。我们将在美国酒吧见面。城市的景色很美丽。我迫不及待地想再次见到你，汤姆。我有很多话要告诉你。所以请记住，公园酒店，塔克西姆广场，5 点钟。 14 号见。爱你，安吉拉。Tom sat for a moment, looking at his fiance's letter. Then he put it in his pocket. He looked down the green fields of France, as the plane continued its journey across Europe. 'Have you been to Istanbul before?' said a voice. It was the young man in the next seat. 'No, I haven't,' said Tome. 'Have you?'The man smiled. 'My home is in Istanbul. I'm studying in London at the moment. I'm going home for a holiday.' 'Really?' said Tom. 'Where are you studying?' 'At London University.' The two men sat talking, as the stewardesses began serving lunch.汤姆坐了一会儿，看着未婚夫的信。然后他把它放进口袋里。当飞机继续穿越欧洲的旅程时，他俯视着法国的绿色田野。 “你以前去过伊斯坦布尔吗？”一个声音说道。正是邻座的年轻人。 “不，我没有，”托梅说。 '你？'The young man told Tom his name was Kemal. His parents had a shop in Istanbul. 'Are you meeting someone in Istanbul?' Kemal asked. 'My fiance,' said Tom. 'She's working in Istanbul.' 'That's interesting. How long has she been there?' 年轻人告诉汤姆他的名字叫凯末尔。他的父母在伊斯坦布尔有一家商店。 “你在伊斯坦布尔见某人吗？”凯末尔问道。 “我的未婚夫，”汤姆说。 “她在伊斯坦布尔工作。” '那很有意思。她在那里多久了？She went to Istanbul two months ago. She works for a small company which is starting to export to England. She's making all the arrangements.' 'Exporting always seems so difficult,' said Kemal. 'It seems difficult,' Tom agreed. 'But that's Angela's job. She's an expert in importing and exporting. Her father has an import/export agency in London and she has worked for him for some years. She's almost completed her work in Istanbul now. The company has already started to send goods to England. She'll be coming back to London soon.'两个月前她去了伊斯坦布尔。她在一家小公司工作，该公司开始向英国出口。她正在做所有的安排。 “出口似乎总是那么困难，”凯末尔说。 “这似乎很难，”汤姆同意道。 “但那是安吉拉的工作。”她是进出口方面的专家。她的父亲在伦敦有一家进出口机构，她已经为他工作了几年。她现在几乎完成了在伊斯坦布尔的工作。该公司已经开始向英国发送货物。她很快就会回到伦敦。

Paul Mason is a journalist, writer and film-maker. His latest book How To Stop Fascism: History, Ideology, Resistance describes the rise of the modern far-right, its colonisation of conservatism and right-wing populism, and the danger it poses amid the wider process of democratic decay. It argues that, faced with the danger of a second fascist era, the centre and left should unite around the defence of democracy and the rule of law, and for tough legislation to limit the activities and funding of fascist groups, and for the creation of a grass-roots anti-fascist ethos in society. Paul is the author of seven books, including Postcapitalism (2015), Why It’s Kicking Off Everywhere (2012), Clear Bright Future (2019) and Rare Earth: A Novel (2011). As economics editor at both BBC Newsnight (2001-13) and Channel 4 News (2013-16) he won numerous awards, including RTS Specialist Reporter of the Year and the Wincott Award. He has been on the front line of covering the global financial crisis from 2007 onwards – but his work as a reporter ranged beyond economics: he reported from New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, the Taksim Square uprising in Turkey, the Gaza War of 2014 and from the floor of the Congress of the Communist Party of China when Xi Jin Ping was inaugurated.

The fourth and final episode of our podcast mini-series, Breaking Silence, explores issues of censorship, self-censorship and cancel culture in the creation of art.Artistic Director Josephine Burton speaks to arts consultant Manick Govinda, who co-founded Brexit Creatives, about what he sees as the art world's censorship or 'cancelling' of pro-Brexit views; Samuel Beckett scholar Dr Jackie Blackman on Beckett's use of silence in his plays as a form of self-censorship; journalist Mayssa Issa, about the silencing of artists during the coronavirus pandemic with arts being considered 'non-essential'; and Turkey's 'standing man' Erdem Gündüz, whose 2013 silent protest against the Turkish government went viral.Through conversations with a range of acclaimed speakers across a range of disciplines, Breaking Silence explores ways in which voices, stories and cultures have been silenced both in current times and recent history, when silence can be a positive force for change, and what role the arts can play in breaking silences.LinksWatch the music video for Danser Encore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyBEMRyt6QgBuy Beckett and Ethics: https://uk.bookshop.org/books/1605839840_beckett-and-ethics/9781441151179 Find out more about Brexit Creatives on their Twitter @brexitcreativesPhoto creditErdem Gündüz, standing in Istanbul's Taksim Square in June 2013 as a silent protest against the Turkish government.

In 1946, post the defeat of Germany in World War II, the psychoanalyst Carl Jung coined a word which turned into a national emotion. Travelling through Armenia and speaking to young and old alike took me back to Turkey. Specifically, Gezi Park in Taksim Square, Istanbul. But how are Germany, Turkey and Armenia connected? This week, Utsav takes you on a journey which made him feel the very emotion which the Germans felt post World War II, and maybe one which we all need to feel today.You can reach out to our host Utsav on Instagram: @whywetravel42(https://www.instagram.com/whywetravel42)You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.You can check out our website at http://www.ivmpodcasts.com/

On Friday, the whole world was abuzz about what was happening in Turkey and whether there was a coup underway. A few short hours later, President Erdogan, ironically using the same methods he had denounced for years when used against him, beseeched his supporters to “Go to the streets and give them your answer!” And that is exactly what they did. Thousands of AKP supporters poured into the street to block the army tanks and soldiers. A crowd marched to the airport to welcome Erdogan back in Istanbul. The coup had failed and Erdogan was ready with his mandate to speed up his quest for unlimited power and purge the military, “purify” the government ministries, and uproot some opposition groups (such as the Gulen movement). While the coup was an attempt to undermine an elected government, the President's wide-reaching retaliation now includes tens of thousands within Turkey's judiciary, universities, and other civilian bureaucracy with potentially grave consequences for the country's democracy. According to the BBC, the toll since Friday's failed coup has been: ·         Nearly nine thousand police officers have been sacked ·         Close to three thousand judges have been suspended ·         Some 1,500 employees of Turkey's finance ministry have been dismissed ·         492 have been fired from the Religious Affairs Directorate ·         Turkey's higher education council has banned academics from leaving the country. ·         Twenty-one thousand teachers at private institutions had their licenses revoked. Since Friday, Erdogan has been flirting with the idea of bringing back the death penalty and vowed to reconstruct the historic Taksim military barracks in Istanbul's Gezi Park (the site of mass protests in 2013). His project also extends to knocking down the Ataturk Cultural Centre to build an opera house and large mosque near Taksim Square. VOMENA's Shahram Aghamir spoke with Turkish political scientist Istanbul-based Dr. Osman Shahin about the coup, counter-coup, and the repressive political environment in Turkey in the aftermath of Friday's events. The post Turkey's Coup and Counter-Coup: An Interview with Osman Sahin appeared first on KPFA.

  The live mobile video streaming revolution may have just gotten what it needed to go mainstream.   Apple TV now offers a Periscope app, allowing millions of users to watch user generated live streams from the comfort of their own couch.   Of course, the writing was on the wall when Periscope first launched “Couch Mode”, a clever way of auto-playing similar streams without the need to select. Then there was the move to landscape mode. Two moves that allow the app to be powerful features on that big screen at home.   Here are my three quick conclusions for Apple TV and Periscope:  This “partnership” may open up the TV space to other social platforms. Apple will own third party experiences and user generated content. Apple has leverage to negotiate with cable companies for their seemingly inevitable live streaming TV service. The Brand Boost Podcast mission The Brand Boost podcast is the show for brands looking to create the ’start-up sexy’ marketing ideology all while commanding total brand appeal.   About Periscope       Periscope is a live video streaming app for iOS and Android developed by Kayvon Beykpour and Joe Bernstein.   Periscope lets you broadcast live video to the world. Going live will instantly notify your followers who can join, comment and send you hearts in real time. The more hearts you get, the higher they flutter on the screen.   Beykpour and Bernstein came up with the idea for Periscope while traveling abroad in 2013. Beykpour was in Istanbul when protests broke out in Taksim Square. He wanted to see what was happening there, so he turned to Twitter. While he could read about the protests, he couldn't see them.   They started the company in February 2014, under the name Bounty. They raised $1.5 million from Founder Collective, Scott Belsky, Maveron, Google Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Bessemer, Stanford – StartX and Sam Shank in April 2014.   Periscope was acquired Jan, 2015 by Twitter before the product had been publically launched. One investor source says the acquisition amount was "sizeable", above $50 million. Another says it fell between $75 and $100 million. A third says the deal was "smallish".   The acquisition was officially announced in a tweet from Periscope and retweeted by Twitter CEO Dick Costolo on March 13 after the rival video streaming app Meerkat was a breakout hit at South by Southwest 2015 (Mar 13-17). Meerkat became the talk of SXSW partially due to Twitter cutting Meerkat off from its social graph just as the festival was starting.[8]   Periscope was launched on March 26, 2015.[9][10] Later, on May 2

Can you believe that Southern liquor laws prevent the sale of alcohol on Sunday? Even after 30 years or so of living in the South, it still boggles my mind. I believe everyone should be able to buy or drink Irish whiskey on Sunday. This is not a political episode though. Just my two cents worth. Vote these laws down.

Today's show is brought to you by Celtic Invasion Vacations If you are listening to this podcast then you probably dream of traveling to one of the Celtic nations. So I have one piece of advice. Do it! I'm not saying you should join me on one of my Celtic Invasion Vacations. I'm not saying you should join another tour group. But travel. Go. Right now. Mark Twain wrote: "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." Traveling will change your life for the better forever. Stop waiting for the "right moment". Start planning now. If you enjoy my music, then join me on a Celtic Invasion of another Celtic country. In 2016, we're going to Cornwall in search of Celtic culture, King Arthur and the Holy Grail. Will you join us?
