What is that Gulen Charter School thing can someone give me info on that?
Gulen Charter Schools is the name calling of some marginal groups who cannot stand the many achievements and accomplishments of some charter schools and live their lives to slander anything that is good around them. This weird concept of Gulen Charter Schools has apparently been coined by a group of people to describe some charter schools in the United States of America. The common denominator of these charter schools are that they are successful and over-achieving schools doing the most with the least. Some of them have international faculty members, while several of them have also international administrators as well as founders.Many websites exist for one and only "holy" purpose: ostensibly accusing Fethullah Gulen and charter schools and defaming everyone involved with them including Sam Walton and even Bill Gates! Bill Gates, who financially contributes to several charter schools, is seen as the reviver of Ottoman Empire! In terms of making connections among the unrelated things, they are very talented!These charter schools are providing free public education with state approved curriculum. They do not teach religion, Islam or about Gulen. Therefore, these schools should not be called as Gulen Charter Schools or with the name of any other scholar. There is no hidden agenda here, just an agenda to raise the standards of public education by giving parents the CHOICE to send their kids to quality public schools, such as these science academies.There are many blogs and websites that are zealously trying to convince parents of an existent link between FethullahGulen and some charter schools in the US. We believe the video below is the best testament of how these people are of them are unfortunately either ignorant or the ill-intentioned. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. Also some objective researchers examined the Gulen Charter Schools myth. Additionally, a pro-charter site recently published article about their take on the Gulen Charter Schools saga.
Why did 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt fail?
There are two general possibilities for why the Turkish Coup d'Etat failed:Bad Planning: The military was not united when they tried to overthrow the government. The majority of military leaders were actually supportive of the Erdogan government, so the amount of military officers involved in the coup was minimal. The soldiers who were part of the coup were unable to take Erdogan prisoner early-on in the coup, which is a central part of a coup d'etat. Finally, the military launching the coup was willing to surrender to the local police, who were loyal to Erdogan, rather than fight them, which gave the police officers the upper hand.False Flag Operation: It has been suggested that this coup was actually an operation coordinated by Erdogan in order to solidify his power. The failures in organizing the coup, which should have been obvious to the planning generals, and the end result of the coup, which is increased patriotism, serve Erdogan's interests. It makes Erdogan seen as the defender of Turkey and gives him the license to purge the military of anyone he suspects does not support him. Fethullah Gülen, a Sufi Islamic leader who disagrees with Erdogan argued that this was Erdogan's "Burning of the Reichstag", which refers to the event where Hitler had the Nazis burn the German Parliament (Reichstag) but claim that the Communists did it in order to jail the Communists and solidify his control.
The population of Norway?
According to the CIA's website, the population of Norway (as of July 2008) is 4,644,457. Well... According to the norwegian governements statistic: = Population statistics. Population 1 October 2008 and changes in the third quarter 2008 = In the third quarter of 2008, Norway's population increased by 17 900. Two thirds of the growth resulted from inward migration, but the birth surplus grew more than the net inward migration when compared to the third quarter 2007. The population reached 4 787 000 on 1 October. The population increase of 17 900 is the highest ever registered in a single quarter, and was 900 higher than in 2007. A total of 19 1501 persons migrated to Norway and 7 300 left during this period, resulting in a net inward migration of 11 8501. In the third quarter last year, the net inward migration was 11 600, while in previous years it was almost 6 000 at its peak. Of the 16 300 immigrants without Norwegian citizenship arriving in the third quarter, 67 per cent were Europeans. Polish citizens dominated, with 3 450 migrating to Norway, compared to 3 850 during the same quarter in 2007. While slightly fewer Polish citizens migrated to Norway during the third quarter than on average for the first two quarters this year, more Swedish and German citizens migrated to Norway than on average for the first two quarters. A total of 15 900 children were born in the third quarter; 600 more than last year. A total of 9 800 persons died; 100 fewer than in the corresponding period last year. The birth surplus thus reached 6 100; 12 per cent higher than in the same quarter in 2007. Oslo had the highest birth surplus (1 500), and only two counties saw a birth deficit, Hedmark (60) and Oppland (30). In the first three quarters of 2008, 46 550 children were born, whereas the number of deaths was 30 900. This resulted in a birth surplus of 15 650; 16 per cent higher than the corresponding period of 2007. Forty per cent of the population growth took place in Akershus and Oslo, and 23 per cent in Rogaland and Hordaland. Sogn og Fjordane, Nordland and Finnmark experienced a population deficit due to domestic migration loss. All counties had an inward migration surplus from abroad, with Oslo having the highest figure (3 100). Ten counties had a domestic migration surplus, with Akershus having the highest figure (650). Nine counties had a domestic migration deficit, with Nordland having the highest (600). In the first three quarters of 2008, Oslo had the highest inward migration surplus from abroad (8 600). Ten counties had a domestic migration surplus, with Akershus having the highest figure (1 800). Nine counties had a domestic migration deficit, with Nordland having the highest (1 150). The population increased in 263 municipalities in the first three quarters of 2008, and decreased in 163 municipalities. Apart from the four largest cities, Bærum had the biggest population growth (1 300). As has been the case in recent years, centralised municipalities experienced a population increase, while less centralised areas were more likely to see a migration loss as well as a birth deficit. A total of 226 municipalities saw a birth surplus, whereas 190 experienced a birth deficit. Of the 10 municipalities with the largest birth deficit, nine were situated in the inland counties Hedmark and Oppland. {| |+ 10 municipalities with largest and lowest migration gain 1.-3. quarter 2008 ! |- !
