of 2013, the video was viewed over 17 million times on YouTube. Like its predecessor, "Yatcaz Kalkcaz Ordayım", this song also topped Turkey's official music chart for seven weeks. The music video for "Irgalamaz Beni" was directed by Çağrı Ark and released on 18 September 2013. By the end of the year it was viewed over 6.5 million times on YouTube. Klip Turkish critics found the video similar to Miley Cyrus's music video for "Wrecking Ball". Especially the singer's appearance on a large ball hanging from the ceiling took the attention of critics. Gülşen denied the allegations of copying and

said "I'm not that idiot to imitate a clip that has just been released on the same week as mine. I'm also not that desperate to do it on the same week. We shot the clip on September 3, and there's evidence for those who want it. Miley's clip was shot on the seventh day of the same month. As my clip was release later, so it was naturally perceived that I have copied her work. But as we also have the mindset that 'Turks always plagiarize', the attacks were aimed toward me.

coincidence." "Irgalamaz Beni" rose up to number three on Turkey's music chart. All of the songs were written and composed by Gülşen. "Aşk Cinayet Sever", "Acısı Bile Bal" and "Seyre Dursun Aşk" were composed together with Ozan Çolakoğlu. Credits adapted from "Beni Durdursan mı?"s album booklet. Beni Durdursan mı?

The Mountie (film) The Mountie (U.S.: The Way of the West; U.K.: The Ranger; France: Lawman) is a 2011 Canadian western film directed by S. Wyeth Clarkson, co-written by Clarkson, Charles Johnston, and Grant Sauvé. Though drawing on elements of Canadian northern genre fiction, the film was pitched as a neo-spaghetti western by Clarkson to its star, Andrew Walker. Walker plays a disgraced North-West Mounted Police officer dispatched in 1894 to survey the Yukon for a new garrison, where he encounters a small group of Russian settlers in a town in desperate need of law and order. The cast includes

Earl Pastko as Olaf, a Russian Orthodox priest of dubious character, Jessica Paré as Amethyst, Olaf's scarred daughter, as well as George Buza, Tony Munch, Matthew G. Taylor, and John Wildman. Several scenes are bridged by Robert Service poems read by Kestrel Martin, who portrays Cleora, Amethyst's young sister. The poems include "", "," and "". In an interview with CTV News, Wyeth Clarkson talks about having since childhood been drawn to western movies, such as those by John Ford and Sergio Leone, "but always wondered why American sheriffs were depicted onscreen, while Canadian officers were not", arguing the film
The Mountie (film)
21,015,148
is educational: "Canada has this rich history and this rich history of iconographic characters that we don't see on our screens and to me that's a real loss, especially for kids who can be so easily influenced to want to learn... For me, it's important as a filmmaker to sort of stir that pot and at least give people access to Canadian stories." Made for a little under C$1,000,000, "The Mountie" received equity production funding from Telefilm Canada's Ontario office and the Harold Greenberg Fund, as well as production funding support from the Yukon Film & Sound Commission. The film
The Mountie (film)
21,015,149
was shot near Whitehorse, Yukon, in 2009, under the working title "Red Coat Justice". In the CTV interview, Clarkson said he felt "budgetary pressure to shoot the film elsewhere but stood his ground," and suggested "that the best North American westerns of the last 20 years have probably all been shot in Canada." According to an article in the "Toronto Star", the shooting location was a 45-minute drive for the cast and crew to a logging road, followed by a 30-minute hike to the set itself. In the same "Star" article, Andrew Walker recounts how Clarkson "sold" the film to

21,015,150
him as a Canadian spaghetti western. As a result, the actor spent a lot of time studying Clint Eastwood. He also studied historical figures such as Sam Steele and other portrayals of the Mounted Police up to the present day. The film features original music composed by Ivan Barbotin and performed by the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra. The film had its premiere in theatres on July 1 (Canada Day), 2011, a limited release, in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, followed by six more cities across Canada on July 8. Clarkson is said to have "angled hard to get theatres to screen "The

21,015,151
Mountie" on Canada Day". It received a gala screening at Canada House in London, England. "The Mountie" received mixed reviews from critics. Jennie Punter gave the film a very positive review: "With gorgeous cinematography, brisk pacing, evocative music, well-orchestrated showdowns and no-nonsense storytelling, The Mountie delivers an entertaining slice of Canadian history that never feels like it's a patriotic duty to watch." Liz Braun also gave a positive review, saying there was something "satisfyingly Canadian" about the film. Susan G. Cole gave the film a "mediocre" rating, describing it as "another meticulously made Canadian feature with a good cast, beautiful

21,015,152
music and a gorgeous look," but finding the script extremely lacking: "There isn't a line of believable dialogue or a piece of the action you can't predict, and the ending is ludicrous." Chris Knight gave the film 2.5 stars, calling it a "taut drama," and thought the Robert Service poems were a "nice touch", at the same time finding "the film stalls during the frequent gun battles, which unfold in an uninspired manner." The film lacks subtlety: "It's as if Grayling had told the townsfolk to boil their dialogue along with their drinking water." Linda Barnard agreed, saying the film
The Mountie (film)
21,015,153
is "gorgeously shot" but suffers from poor dialogue: "More suited to a made-for-TV movie than theatrical release, "The Mountie" winds up with a silly ending before it rides off into the sunset." Robert Bell found it culturally retrogressive and with no redeeming qualities in the film whatsoever: "Perhaps it's cruel to dote on the sheer ineptitude of this production, from its borderline incoherent action sequences to the misguided cinematography and woefully integrated exposition, but it's truly impossible to imagine anyone taking this film seriously beyond mockery and sheer jaw-dropping amazement." A common thread among reviewers, regardless of how they felt
The Mountie (film)
21,015,154
about the film, is the similarity of Walker's performance to that of Clint Eastwood. Linda Barnard in particular did not understand why a Canadian film "spends so much time aping Clint Eastwood it could have been titled "A Fistful of Loonies", in reference to "A Fistful of Dollars".

Gender equality in Nicaragua When it comes to gender equality in Latin America, Nicaragua ranks high amongst the other countries in the region. When it came to global rankings regarding gender equality, the World Economic Forum ranked Nicaragua at number twelve in 2015, while in 2016 it ranked tenth, and in 2017 the country ranked sixth. Nicaragua was amongst the many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, which aimed to promote women's rights. The Human Development Reportranked Nicaragua on place 106 out of 160 countries

21,015,163
in the Gender Inequality Index (GII)in 2017. It reflects gender-based inequalities in three dimensions-reproductive health, empowerment, and economic activity. Nicaragua has yet to achieve overall gender equality. Women in Nicaragua are more likely to face poverty than men and rates of violence against women still remains high. Nicaragua ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW)on October 27, 1981. According to the World Bank's Gender Data Portal, participation in the labor force between men and women differs. For the year 2016, women in the low income bracket accounted for 65 percent, men accounted for

21,015,164
80 percent. The middle income bracket accounted for 46 percent of women, and 77 percent of men. The high income bracket accounted for 52 percent of women, and 69 percent of men. A gender pay gap between men and women in Nicaragua exists. When it comes to farming, there is inequality amongst men and women. 2016 saw 8.5 percent of women employed in agriculture, while 42.9 percent of men were employed. Men tend to own more land than women in Nicaragua. In the rural areas of Nicaragua, 65 percent of women are working on land that they do not own.
Gender equality in Nicaragua
21,015,165
Due to the fact that more men owned land in Nicaragua, and ownership in Nicaragua is linked to authority, programs in the 1990s sought to provide more women with the opportunity to own land. Throughout history, the role of women in Nicaragua has been deeply traditional and therefore, deeply unequal. Men and women held really different social roles and were supposed to adhere to common stereotypes, namely the working men and the woman responsible for the household. This was largely due to the concepts of marianismoand machismo, two prevalent forms of Latin American cultural behavior. According to marianismo and machismo,
Gender equality in Nicaragua
21,015,166
regardless of class, women don't possess the same legal rights as men. Additionally, women are subordinates of fathers and husbands, not allowed to make their own decisions. At the same time, women have to uphold the morality of the family and are responsible for its spiritual development and well-being. Men were exempt from those duties and not legally obliged to acknowledge and support children or support their families financially. Out of those circumstances, the rate of female-headed families was several times higher than nowadays. Overall, women were less educated, had fewer financial resources, were employed in less-skilled, lower-paying jobs and

21,015,167
had fewer civil and legal rights than men. The lives of women in Nicaragua didn't change until the Sandinista Revolutionthat started in 1979. In 1987, it was reported that 67% of 'active members' in the popular militia were women. Before the movement, topics like domestic violence and sexual abuse were taboo and not viewed as injustice by society. As a result of the revolution, changes in gender discourses, policies and programs promoted by the Nicaraguan women's movement, beginning with the AMNLAE,occurred in the early 1980s and continued with an autonomous women's movement in the 1990s. The Sandinistas’ reforms in family

21,015,168
law, their discourse on women's emancipation and the promotion of the New Man as a proper family man were meant to pave the way for the modern role of women in Nicaraguan society. This decision led to conflicts as men saw their dominant position threatened, which extended the process until the end of the 1990s, when international fundings and a neoliberal government prioritized establishing a new female figure. After the revolution, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSNL) party became the most powerful party which makes the multiparty constitutional republic a single party ruled system. Still, the country has to face

21,015,169
increasing societal violence against women and violent attacks against the LGBTcommunity, to which police fails to respond. The degree of health care for women in Nicaragua depends on whether they live in the rural or urban area. Overall, the percentage of births attended by skilled health staff was 88%. The number of pregnant women receiving prenatal care grew steady over the past years, amounting to 94.7% in 2012. The maternal mortality ratio is at 0.15%, according to data from 2015. In 2012, a mother's mean age at first birth was 19.2 years. Female life expectancy is 8.6% higher than that

of men. In 1955, women received the right to vote and be elected. With the participation in the revolution, women began to have a voice in political decisions, originally their motivation was the will to protect their families. ""Everything that we did was for our children so that they could learn to read, so they could have a better life, then we, with this idea, participated in the Revolution. With the idea that they were going to learn to read, that they were going to learn many things that they didn't know, with this we integrated in the process of

the Revolution," Ser madre en Nicaragua (Being a Mother in Nicaragua) 22." The Nicaraguan Institute for Women became independent in 2007. The participation of women in managerial and executive positions was 33.9% in 2012. In 2017, 45.7 percent of parliamentary seats were held by women, which is the highest rate in all middle-American countries. In 1994, Nicaragua signed the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women. In 2012, Nicaragua passed Law 779, which strengthens the protection of victims and creates an avenue for women to seek justice in such cases of violence against women. The literacy rate of the

Rausjødalen Dairy The Rausjødalen Dairy () was Europe's first dairy cooperative north of the Alps. It was built in 1856 in "Raudsjødalen" (the Raudsjø Valley) in the municipality of Tolga, Norway. It was originally established under the name "Rausjødalen Meieri". It is the predecessor of today's company Tine. The initiative to start a dairy in the Raudsjø Valley was led by Jon Simensen Grue (1804–1891), a farmer, teacher, and sexton, and Ole Jonsen Berg (1829–1908). The reason for starting a dairy in the mountains was the motivation to process milk and take advantage of the good mountain pasture in the

Tupolev Tu-404 The Tupolev Tu-404 was a wide-body superjumbo jet aircraft proposed by Russian aerospace company Tupolev. Work on the Tu-404 was initiated in 1991 in parallel with another widebody design, the Tupolev Tu-304. The Tu-404 was designed to transport more than 1,200 passengers to destinations 12,000 - 13,000 km away. The Tupolev Design Bureau investigated several possible configurations for the Tu-404, including a flying wing and a conventional design. The flying wing's powerplant would consist of six pusher turboprop engines developing 18,000 kg of thrust each during take-off and each consuming only 0.644 kg/kgf-h of fuel in cruise mode.

The engines would have been located in the tail section of the flying wing fuselage between two large V-shaped vertical stabilizers. The central fuselage contains six passenger compartments accommodating 1214 passengers. The leading edge of the central fuselage has a sweep of 45 degrees. Two large removable wings containing fuel tanks have the leading-edge sweep of 35 degrees and are attached to the central fuselage. The wings hold most of the aircraft's fuel. The conventional design featured a two-level passenger aircraft capable of transporting 1,200 people to destinations of up to 10,000 km. The lower level of the fuselage was

The massive low-level wing with a leading-edge sweep of 35 degrees and vertical wingtips has massive control surfaces: multi-section leading-edge control surfaces, low-speed control areas, multi-section flaps. Each half of the altitude control surface is made of two sections. Proposed powerplants included four Kuznetsov NK-44 or Rolls-Royce "Trent" engines installed on underwing pylons. The aircraft's undercarriage consisted of several carts with multiple wheels in each cart.
