Three news from home

cutting the branch that you're sitting on or new agricultural policies in Turkey:
New law proposal for genetically modified seeds usage in Turkey. not going to be used in baby food though! Most of these seeds are developed for "sustainable marketing" purposes and therefore can't be reproduced. We are not really sure what we are eating today we will soon have no idea... To increase productivity is one thing to loose all your endemic species and being totally dependent for seeds on outer resources is something else. I wonder what they are protecting really.. not the farmer at least , related news

after youtube now blogspot is also censored in Turkey

After months of youtube censor, now we have lost direct access to all blog sites from Turkish Telekom lines. Which is probably the majority of internet users. There has to be an organized street protest together with legal ways to deal with this mentality. It is obvious that the laws related to internet are having deep holes on them so "some" people can constantly sue and manage to get all these websites closed. it's extremely embarrassing and annoying...

warm up exercise for mapping networks and flows

trying to get a grasp of internal networks of fjaler region. starting with each participant locating themselves in the center and building up the network radiates from the self. (friends, best places to hang out, favorite movies, etc.)
