First of all this book appears to be a CLANDESTINE edition, published without any authorisation neither from the author (who died in 2006) nor from the legittimate copyright holder nor by the Turkmen government.
Whatever one may think of the author, I consider that illegitimately making profits exploiting the intellectual work of a dead man is an immoral and parasitic behaviour at best and a crime at worst.
Secondly, I consider almost a SCAM to claim on the cover that it is an “Annotated” version, whilst there is not a single footnote in the whole text (apart from five childish “Notes on editing and translating” in the last page).
I don’t even mention the fact that the quality of the translation is awful (it seems machine-translated) and the editing is even worse (it seems to have been scanned and converted into text with a poorly-working OCR, without even removing line breaks in excess).
For the abovementioned reasons, I ask Amazon to please consider removing this edition from its database at least until the copyright issue has been investigated, or I’ll feel compelled to report the issue to the Embassy of Turkmenistan.
“In Islam, you don’t usually appeal to a dead woman,” Gulnara said. “You’re supposed to ask Allah. But this is a powerful woman.”
I pointed out that most of the appeals were for boys.
She said, “Women who give birth to girls have another way of indicating that they want a boy. They will name the daughter Enough (Besteir) or Fed Up (Boyduk). These are common names. I know many.”
The man spoke again.
“He has a question for you,” the student said. “Will you answer?”
I heard the whistle blow. The train slowly pulled out of Ashgabat Sta-tion, and within minutes we were in the desert. The old man was delivering a monologue.
“He says that some years ago an astronaut went to the moon,” the student said. “He was from America. When he got to the moon, he heard a strange noise. It was an azan”—the call to prayer, usually issued by a muezzin chanting from a mosque. “The astronaut recorded it. When he came back to earth, the scientists in America analyzed it, and they came to think that it was the voice of the Prophet Muhammad.”

Please mark the day in your calendar to join a few people and I for a peaceful rally at Freedom tower in Miami. This is to promote awareness to the general public of pedophilia and sex trafficking. These horrible things should not be normalized!!!
My original account got banned, and I nearly got banned on my 2nd account there too for reasonably arguing against the covid hysteria. Of course I was right but they still threatened to ban me and called me a troll. Needless to say I got the hint and stopped going there.
This has been quite a week. If you care to, please indulge the comments with something silly/ridiculous you’ve caught yourself saying to your pet. I’ll start...
it's kind of interesting... when you watch a video like this, you laugh along to the laughter, even when you don't understand... but when you watch a video with anger and hate, you are confused because you can't understand it... speaks something, doesn't it?
I was never a big radio head big follower at all, but throughout the evolution of music and growing up i have to give it up to mr Thom York as a singer song writer. When that mainstream creep song came out really captured a genuine moment of time and still lives thru this day! Plus last time i checked he's still alive somewhere. Amazing song writing and experience. To me that's what music in the arts is what's all about. No matter what the timeline is it's all timeless. No get rich quick schemes there. It's still relative till this day. Imho.
I got into New Bomb Turks when most did, around the time Epitaph released "Scared Straight." About a month or so after getting the album, listening to it on repeat and falling in love with Eric Davidson's Little-Richardesque vocal inflections, XxXx and I caught them at Cheers. Can't remember if was a weekday or not. It was an energetic albeit sparsely attended show. Like many bands that rose up in the mid-'90s, their minor popularity faded over the course of subsequent releases of diminishing returns. I bought one more Turks album, a retrospective "singles" collection called "Pissing Out The Poison" and dug it. Then I mostly forgot about them.Now, there are a lot of valid arguments against music streaming services, not the least of which is artists' paltry compensation. But give it this: it's a great way to reconnect with music long fallen by the wayside. Such is the case with the Turks and me. I'd never heard their 1993 debut album "Destroy-Oh-Boy!" before today. Several of its songs appeared on "Pissing," but "Destroy's" gestalt appeal, its fantastic track order and cohesiveness, supersedes the Turks' retrospectively silly best-of compendium that they released only two records into their career, which ended in 2003.
Hope you're enduring your Monday swimmingly.

If you like communism Biden won. If you love freedom Trump won. Debates didnt shift any opinions. But maybe the far lefties nut jobs will see that Biden isnt going to support their bernie ideals...so maybe it was a Trump win.
