EY TÜRK GENÇLİĞİ!

Ey Türk Gençliği! Birinci vazifen, Türk istiklâlini, Türk Cumhuriyetini, ilelebet, muhafaza ve müdafaa etmektir. Mevcudiyetinin ve istikbalinin yegâne temeli budur. Bu temel, senin, en kıymetli hazinendir. İstikbalde dahi, seni bu hazineden mahrum etmek isteyecek, dahilî ve haricî bedhahların olacaktır. Bir gün, İstiklâl ve Cumhuriyeti müdafaa mecburiyetine düşersen, vazifeye atılmak için, içinde bulunacağın vaziyetin imkân ve şerâitini düşünmeyeceksin! Bu imkân ve şerâit, çok nâmüsait bir mahiyette tezahür edebilir. İstiklâl ve Cumhuriyetine kastedecek düşmanlar, bütün dünyada emsali görülmemiş bir galibiyetin mümessili olabilirler. Cebren ve hile ile aziz vatanın, bütün kaleleri zaptedilmiş, bütün tersanelerine girilmiş, bütün orduları dağıtılmış ve memleketin her köşesi bilfiil işgal edilmiş olabilir. Bütün bu şerâitten daha elîm ve daha vahim olmak üzere, memleketin dahilinde, iktidara sahip olanlar gaflet ve dalâlet ve hattâ hıyanet içinde bulunabilirler. Hattâ bu iktidar sahipleri şahsî menfaatlerini, müstevlilerin siyasi emelleriyle tevhit edebilirler. Millet, fakr ü zaruret içinde harap ve bîtap düşmüş olabilir. Ey Türk istikbalinin evlâdı! İşte, bu ahval ve şerâit içinde dahi, vazifen; Türk İstiklâl ve Cumhuriyetini kurtarmaktır! Muhtaç olduğun kudret, damarlarındaki asil kanda mevcuttur!

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

RECENT BREAK INS AND ATTEMPTS

In Kamares on Friday night, security cameras at a private house picked up a man in a ski mask wandering around the garden – at around 8pm.  Whilst this house was not broken into, over the weekend, there were a number of incidents in Kamares and in the area South of Kamares. 

If you see any vehicle or people which you do not expect to see, please contact the Police.  The break-ins or attempts I have been notified of appear mainly to have taken place between 6pm and 10pm.

Before you leave your property, even if your absence is expected to only be of a short duration, please ensure that you securely lock all windows and doors.  Please do not just pull the front door closed - lock it properly as entry can easily be gained through a door where the lock has not been engaged.

SIX MONTHS ON LAW TO BAN CROOKED CONTRACTORS YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED

Cyprus Mail 8/11/16 - article by Elias Hazou

Some six months after it was passed a law barring crooked contractors from bidding for public projects has yet to be implemented.

The reason, apparently, is that the government has not managed to find people to staff the review committee which by law has the final say in disqualifying companies from public procurements.
The law, passed in April just before the House dissolved for the parliamentary elections, stipulated the establishment of a review committee.

The accompanying regulations stipulated that the five members of the committee must be former Supreme Court judges or former presidents or senior judges of district courts.  The committee would be chaired by a retired Supreme court judge.

But in the six months since the government has been unable to find the required persons.
It is understood that the problem is that not enough retired judges have come forward for the job, a paying position, even though there is no shortage of them.

As a result, the ministry of finance is currently amending the regulations. The members of the review committee will be three, not five. The criteria for the judges have been relaxed, so that the positions are open to judges other than those previously serving on the Supreme Court or as presidents of district courts.

If that doesn’t work either then the Treasury – which is working on amending the regulations – may propose that the review committee comprise of government technocrats not judges.  The amended regulations have been forwarded to parliament.

In the meantime, without a review committee to issue rulings, the law is more or less rendered moot – meaning that culpable contractors are still allowed to bid for public tenders.  This could lead to a peculiar situation. Since crooked contractors are not automatically barred from bidding – precisely because the review committee does not exist yet – a company previously implicated in corrupt practices is still entitled to bid for a public contract.

What may happen is that a contracting authority, say a municipality, will look at the contractor’s soiled track record and decide to ban that contractor – but only for the tender in question.
And in another twist, because the contractor has been allowed to bid in the first place, they are likewise afforded the right to appeal against their elimination with the Tenders Review Authority, which would have to hear the case.

Conversely, were a review committee in place, it would have been handing down blanket prohibitions, preventing blacklisted contractors from bidding at all.

As daily Politis reports, the whole matter might have slipped under the radar were it not for a discussion taking place on October 13 at the House watchdog committee.  There MPs were discussing a government bill concerning adjustments to tender procedures for transport, postal and energy-related projects.  Because of the related nature of the discussion, lawmakers discovered then that the review committee blacklisting contractors had yet to be established.

MPs warned the government that unless it fixed the problem, they would filibuster the new government legislation relating to tender procedures.

Under the blacklisting law, companies which have been proven in court to have bribed their way into securing public contracts, or whose cadres have admitted to as much without being indicted, are prohibited from bidding for any and all public tenders for a period of up to five years.  The legislation is designed to blacklist not only companies but also their senior directors. This is to stop businessmen from gaming the system by merely dissolving a company and reconstituting a new one.

However the law is not retroactive. But where tenders are still open and a decision is pending, authorities are able to exclude bidding companies from that tender as well as future competitions.
Officials from at least five companies have admitted to bribing public functionaries in the ongoing Paphos Sewerage Board (SAPA) trial. A succession of company directors have testified in court that they gave kickbacks to officials but argued they were being blackmailed into doing so.

Several businessmen and their companies will evade prosecution in the SAPA case as they turned state witness. However, they and their companies are subject to blacklisting where future public tenders are concerned.

The sewerage scam saddled Paphos municipality, and subsequently the taxpayer, with extra costs due to often-unnecessary additional work on the project. The project came in at some €40m over budget.

Justin Bieber - Let Me Love You Şarkı Sözleri (Türkçe Çeviri) ft. Dj Snake

Let Me Love You

I used to believe we were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful
Güzel bir şeyin kenarında yandığımıza inanırdım
Somethin' beautiful
Güzel bir şeyin
Sellin' a dream
Çok satan bir rüya
Smoke and mirrors keep us waitin' on a miracle
Duman ve aynalar bir mucize için bize eşlik ediyor
On a miracle
Bir mucize için

Say, go through the darkest of days
Diyelim ki, en karanlık günleri geçiriyoruz
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Cennetin kalp kırıklığı var
Never let you go, never let me down
Gitmene izin vermem, düşmeme izin verme
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Zorlu bir yolculuk oldu
Driving the edge of a knife
Bıçağın kenarında yolculuk ediyoruz
Never let you go, never let me down
Gitmene izin vermem, düşmeme izin verme

Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
Vazgeçme, hayır hayır
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Ben vazgeçmeyeceğim, hayır
Let me love you
Seni sevmeme izin ver
Let me love you
Seni sevmeme izin ver
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
Vazgeçme, hayır hayır
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Ben vazgeçmeyeceğim, hayır
Let me love you
Seni sevmeme izin ver
Let me love you
Seni sevmeme izin ver
Oh baby, baby
Oh, bebeğim, bebeğim

Don't fall asleep
Sakın uyuma
At the wheel, we've got a million miles ahead of us
Direksiyon başında, bizden milyonlarca kilometre önde gidiyor
Miles ahead of us
Milyonlarca kilometre önde
All that we need
İhtiyacımız olan her şey
Is a rude awakening to know we're good enough
Kaba bir uyanış olduğunda yeterince iyi olduğumuzu bilmek
Know we're good enough
Yeterince iyi olduğumuzu

Say, go through the darkest of days
Diyelim ki, en karanlık günleri geçiriyoruz
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Cennetin kalp kırıklığı var
Never let you go, never let me down
Gitmene izin vermem, düşmeme izin verme
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Zorlu bir yolculuk oldu
Driving the edge of a knife
Bıçağın kenarında yolculuk ediyoruz
Never let you go, never let me down
Gitmene izin vermem, düşmeme izin verme

Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
Vazgeçme, hayır hayır
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Ben vazgeçmeyeceğim, hayır
Let me love you
Seni sevmeme izin ver
Let me love you
