neg: Puppet A puppet is an object , often resembling a human , animal or mythical figure , that is animated or manipulated by a person called a puppeteer . The puppeteer uses movements of their hands , arms , or control devices such as rods or strings to move the body , head , limbs , and in some cases the mouth and eyes of the puppet . The puppeteer often speaks in the voice of the character of the puppet , and then synchronizes the movements of the puppet 's mouth with this spoken part . The actions , gestures and spoken parts acted out by the puppeteer with the puppet are typically used in storytelling . Puppetry is a very ancient form of theatre which dates back to the 5th century BC in Ancient Greece . There are many different varieties of puppets , and they are made from a wide range of materials , depending on their form and intended use . They range from very simple in construction and operation to very complex .   Two simple types of puppets are the finger puppet , which is a tiny puppet that fits onto a single finger , and the sock puppet , which is formed and operated by inserting one 's hand inside a sock , with the opening and closing of the hand simulating the movement of the puppet 's `` mouth . '' The sock puppet is a type of hand puppet , which is controlled using one hand that occupies the interior of the puppet and moves the puppet around . A `` live-hand puppet '' is similar to a hand puppet but is larger and requires two puppeteers for each puppet . A Marionette is a much more complicated type of puppet that is suspended and controlled by a number of strings connected to the head , back and limbs , plus sometimes a central rod attached to a control bar held from above by the puppeteer .   A rod puppet is constructed around a central rod secured to the head . A shadow puppet is a cut-out figure held between a source of light and a translucent screen . Bunraku puppets are a type of Japanese wood-carved puppet . A ventriloquist 's dummy is a human-shaped puppet operated by a ventriloquist performer 's hand ; the performer produces the puppets voice with little or no movement of her mouth , which creates the illusion that the puppet is alive . Carnival puppets are large puppets , typically bigger than a human , designed to be part of a large spectacle or parade .

neg: Weaving (knitting) In knitting , weaving is a family of techniques used for several purposes in knitting .   The most common use for the technique is when working stranded color patterns , in which two yarns are alternated to certain of the stitches to create patterns . Weaving is used to attach the horizontal strands of yarn that pass unused behind stitches formed with the other yarn to the inside of the fabric . This is usually done to prevent overlong `` floats '' on the inside to prevent snags and create an even tension in the fabric .   The technique can also be used for decorative purposes if it is done on every stitch , in which case the `` inside '' of the fabric is used on the outside   Weaving in , or `` inlay '' , is a related but different technique that is used to thread an extra yarn ( s ) into the fabric without knitting it . The woven yarn ( s ) need not be the same thickness or color as the knitted yarn , and almost always ( but not necessarily ) follow the horizontal rows ( courses ) of knitting . Because the extra yarn simply passes back and forth between the knitted stitches , it can be pulled out unless it is secured in some way at the sides . The resulting fabric is more like a woven texture than a knit because the extra strand reduces its elasticity .

neg: Forum theatre Forum theatre is a type of theatre created by the innovative and influential practitioner Augusto Boal as part of what he calls his `` Theatre of the Oppressed . '' Boal created Forum theatre as a forum for teaching people how to change their world . While practicing earlier in his career , Boal would apply ` simultaneous dramaturgy ' . In this process the actors or audience members could stop a performance , often a short scene in which a character was being oppressed in some way . The audience would suggest different actions for the actors to carry out on-stage in an attempt to change the outcome of what they were seeing . This was an attempt to undo the traditional actor partition and bring audience members into the performance , to have an input into the dramatic action they were watching . Eventually this ` simultaneous dramaturgy ' became Forum theatre when audience members were asked not just to suggest different actions , but to come on stage and perform their own interventions .

neg: Bookwriter The bookwriter is the member of a musical 's writing team who creates the book -- the musical 's plot , character development , and dramatic structure . Essentially , the bookwriter is the playwright of the musical . He or she works very closely in collaboration with the lyricist and composer to create an integrated piece of drama .   There is a common misconception that the bookwriter merely writes the dialogue ; though the book does include the musical 's spoken text , it is much more than that , defining and organizing the dramatic action of the entire piece , including action that is musicalized by the songwriter ( s ) . Even `` sung-through , '' `` operatic , '' or `` through-composed '' musicals , where there is little , if any , spoken text , require as much contribution from a bookwriter as do musicals with extensive dialogue scenes .   The bookwriter is often also the musical 's lyricist , composer , or director .   Category : Occupations in music

Süleyman , Kanunî Sultan Süleyman or Muhteşem Süleyman 6 November 1494 -- 6 September 1566 ) , commonly known as Suleiman the Magnificent in the West and `` Kanuni '' ( the Lawgiver ) in his realm , was the tenth and longest-reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1520 to his death in 1566 . Under his administration , the Ottoman state ruled over 15 to 25 million people .   Suleiman became a prominent monarch of 16th-century Europe , presiding over the apex of the Ottoman Empire 's economic , military and political power . Suleiman personally led Ottoman armies in conquering the Christian strongholds of Belgrade and Rhodes as well as most of Hungary before his conquests were checked at the Siege of Vienna in 1529 . He annexed much of the Middle East in his conflict with the Safavids and large areas of North Africa as far west as Algeria . Under his rule , the Ottoman fleet dominated the seas from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and through the Persian Gulf .   At the helm of an expanding empire , Suleiman personally instituted major legislative changes relating to society , education , taxation and criminal law . His reforms , carried out in conjunction with the empire 's chief judicial official Ebussuud Efendi , harmonized the relationship between the two forms of Ottoman law ; sultanic ( Kanun ) and religious ( Sharia ) . He was a distinguished poet and goldsmith ; he also became a great patron of culture , overseeing the `` Golden '' age of the Ottoman Empire in its artistic , literary and architectural development .   Breaking with Ottoman tradition , Suleiman married Hürrem Sultan , a woman from his harem , a Christian of Rusyn origin who converted to Islam , and who became famous in the West by the name Roxelana . Their son Selim II succeeded Suleiman following his death in 1566 after 46 years of rule . Suleiman 's other potential heirs Mehmed and Mustafa had died , the former from smallpox and the latter had been strangled to death 13 years earlier at the sultan 's order . His other son Bayezid was executed in 1561 on Suleiman 's orders , along with his four sons , after a rebellion . Although scholars no longer believe that the empire declined after his death , the end of Suleiman 's reign is still frequently characterized as a watershed in Ottoman history . In the decades after Suleiman , the empire began to experience significant political , institutional , and economic changes , a phenomenon often referred to as the Transformation of the Ottoman Empire .

Voters selected members of the Electoral College in each state , in most cases by `` winner-takes-all '' plurality ; those state electors in turn voted for a new president and vice president on December 19 , 2016 . While Clinton received about million more votes nationwide , a margin of % , Trump won 30 states worth a total of 306 electors , or 57 % of the 538 available . He won the perennial swing states of Florida , North Carolina , Ohio , and Iowa , as well as Clinton 's `` blue wall '' states of Michigan , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin , which had been Democratic strongholds in presidential elections for decades .

Russia 's goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process , denigrate Secretary Clinton , and harm her electability and potential presidency . '' Investigations about potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials were started by the FBI , the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Intelligence Committee . Donald Trump has criticized these conclusions by citing a lack of evidence , calling it a `` hoax '' and `` fake news , '' stating in a tweet : `` The Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax , when will this taxpayer funded charade end ?

neg: 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt On 15 July 2016 , an alleged coup d'état was attempted in Turkey against state institutions , including , but not limited to the government and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan . The attempt was carried out by a faction within the Turkish Armed Forces that organized themselves as the Peace at Home Council . They attempted to seize control of several key places in Ankara , Istanbul , and elsewhere , but failed to do so after forces loyal to the state defeated them . The Council cited an erosion of secularism , elimination of democratic rule , disregard for human rights , and Turkey 's loss of credibility in the international arena as reasons for the coup . The government accused the coup leaders of being linked to the Gülen movement , which is designated as a terrorist organization by the Republic of Turkey and led by Fethullah Gülen , a Turkish businessman and cleric who lives in Pennsylvania . Erdoğan accuses Gülen of being behind the coup -- a claim that Gülen denies -- and accused the United States of harboring him . Gülen has suggested the coup was in fact a `` self-coup '' carried out by Erdogan to consolidate his grip on power , a belief shared among some analysts and many Turks . Events surrounding the coup attempt and the purges in its aftermath reflect a complex power struggle between Islamist elites in Turkey .   During the coup , over 300 people were killed and more than 2,100 were injured . Many government buildings , including the Turkish Parliament and the Presidential Palace , were bombed from the air . Mass arrests followed , with at least 40,000 detained , including at least 10,000 soldiers and , for reasons that remain unclear , 2,745 judges . 15,000 education staff were also suspended and the licenses of 21,000 teachers working at private institutions were revoked as well after the government alleged they were loyal to Gülen . More than 100,000 people have been arrested or fired from their jobs , on accusations of connections to Gülen .   Reactions to the event were largely against the coup attempt , both domestically and internationally . The main opposition parties in Turkey condemned the attempt , while several international leaders -- such as those from the United States , NATO , the European Union , and other neighboring countries -- called for `` respect of the democratic institutions in Turkey and its elected officials . '' International organizations expressed themselves against the coup as well . The United Nations Security Council , however , did not denounce the coup after disagreements over the phrasing of a statement .   President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan accused the head of United States Central Command , chief General Joseph Votel of `` siding with coup plotters '' , after Votel accused the Turkish government of arresting the Pentagon 's contacts in Turkey .   In March 2017 , Germany 's intelligence chief said Germany was unconvinced by Erdoğan 's claim that Fethullah Gulen was behind the failed coup . Also in March , the British Parliament 's Foreign Affairs Committee said some Gulenists were involved in coup d'état attempt but found no hard evidence that Fethullah Gülen masterminded the failed coup and found no evidence to justify the UK designating the Gülen movement as a `` terrorist organization '' .

neg: Faithless electors in the United States presidential election, 2016 In the 2016 United States presidential election , seven members of the U.S. Electoral College voted for a different candidate than whom they were pledged to vote . The Democratic Party nominee , Hillary Clinton , lost five of her pledged electors while the Republican Party nominee and then president-elect , Donald Trump , lost two . Three of the faithless electors voted for Colin Powell while John Kasich , Ron Paul , Bernie Sanders , and Faith Spotted Eagle each received one vote .   Three additional electors initially voted against their Clinton pledge but had their votes invalidated according to local statutes , so they were replaced or forced to vote again . The defections fell well short of the number needed to change the result of the election ; only two of the seven defected from the presumptive winner , when 37 were needed to change the outcome .   Although there had been a combined total of 157 instances of individual electors voting faithlessly in over two centuries of previous US presidential elections , 2016 was a year in which multiple groups of electors worked to alter the result of the election in order to `` vote their conscience for the good of America '' in accordance with Alexander Hamilton 's Federalist Paper No. 68 . 2016 was also the first year since 1960 when one of the electors actively worked to change the election . Electors were subjected to public pressure , up to and including death threats .   Seven electors successfully cast faithless ballots for president , the most to defect from presidential candidates who were still alive in Electoral College history , surpassing the six electors who defected from James Madison in the 1808 election . Historically , this number of defections has been exceeded only in cases where the presidential candidate was no longer living at the time the electors cast their ballots : the seven faithless presidential votes in 2016 falls well short of the record set in 1872 , when 63 of 66 electors originally pledged to losing candidate Horace Greeley cast their votes for someone else ( Greeley had died between election day and the meeting of the Electoral College ) . The six faithless vice-presidential votes in 2016 is also short of the record for that office , without considering whether the vice-presidential candidates were still living , as multiple previous elections have had more than six faithless vice-presidential votes ; in 1836 , faithless electors successfully moved the vice-presidential decision to the U.S. Senate .

neg: Binali Yıldırım Binali Yıldırım ( -LSB- binaːˌli jɯldɯˈɾɯm -RSB- ; born 20 December 1955 ) is a Turkish politician who is the 27th and current Prime Minister of Turkey and the leader of the Justice and Development Party ( AKP ) since May 2016 . He previously served as the Minister of Transport , Maritime and Communication almost continuously from 2002 to 2013 and again between 2015 and 2016 . Between 2014 and 2015 , he served as Senior Advisor to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan .   Yıldırım served as the chairman of the board of Directors of İstanbul Fast Ferries Company ( İDO ) from 1994 to 2000 before being elected as an AKP Member of Parliament for İstanbul 's first electoral district during the 2002 general election . He was appointed as Minister of Transport by Prime Minister Abdullah Gül and continued in office after Erdoğan became Prime Minister in 2003 . As Transport Minister , he presided over numerous projects such as Marmaray , high-speed rail lines and an expansion in the country 's airport and road facilities , though received heavy criticism and calls for his resignation following the Pamukova train derailment in 2004 . In 2011 , the portfolios of Maritime and Communications were merged with the Ministry of Transport , with Yıldırım becoming the Minister of Transport , Maritime and Communication .   Leaving office in a cabinet reshuffle in 2013 , Yıldırım ran as the AKP candidate for Mayor of İzmir in the 2014 local elections but lost to the incumbent Republican People 's Party ( CHP ) candidate Aziz Kocaoğlu . He was appointed as special advisor to Erdoğan in June 2014 and left Parliament in the June 2015 general election due to the AKP 's three-term rule for its sitting MPs . He was re-appointed as Transport Minister by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu after being re-elected to Parliament in the November 2015 general election . Following Davutoğlu 's resignation as party leader due to a breakdown in relations with President Erdoğan on 5 May 2016 , Yıldırım was announced as the AKP 's next leader by the party Central Executive Committee on 19 May and was elected unopposed during the party 's 2nd Extraordinary Congress on 22 May 2016 . He formed the country 's 65th government and became Prime Minister on 24 May 2016 . Factions of the Turkish Army in discontent with his policies attempted to oust him in a failed military coup d'état attempt on 15 July 2016 .   As a staunch supporter of Erdoğan , Yıldırım has been referred to as a ` low-profile ' Prime Minister and is expected to spearhead a transition from a parliamentary system of government to an executive presidency , which will delegate greater powers to Erdoğan and the office of the President . Following the declared victory of the ` Yes ' vote in the 2017 constitutional referendum despite electoral irregularities , Yıldırım resigned as AK Party leader in place of Erdoğan , who was elected as his successor during the 3rd AK Party extraordinary congress on 21 May 2017 . Yıldırım was subsequently elected as the AK Party 's parliamentary group leader by 300 votes on 24 May .   In 2013 , Yıldırım was implicated in a government corruption scandal , with the financial and social activities of his family members also coming under scrutiny . He has caused controversy over his defence of greater government surveillance and comments favouring sex segregation .

neg: 2016 Macedonian protests In April 2016 , protests began in the Republic of Macedonia against the incumbent President Gjorgje Ivanov and the government led by the interim Prime Minister Emil Dimitriev from the ruling VMRO-DPMNE party . Referred to by some as the `` Colorful Revolution '' , the protests have started after the controversial decision by President Gjorgje Ivanov to stop the investigation against former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski and dozens of politicians who were allegedly involved in a wiretapping scandal . The demonstrations were organized by `` Protestiram '' ( I protest ) and supported from coalition led by the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia , and other opposition parties , also the newly formed Levica ( The Left ) demanding that the government resigns for the formation of a technical government , and that the parliamentary elections planned for 5 June 2016 are cancelled , on the grounds that the conditions for free and transparent elections are not in place . The government and its supporters , who have organized pro-government rallies , maintain that the elections on June 5 are the only solution to the political crisis , with some observers blaming the opposition for creating a `` Ukraine scenario '' in Macedonia .   Initially taking place in Skopje , the capital , both anti- and pro-government protests have also occurred in other cities in the country , including Bitola , Kicevo , Kočani , Veles , Strumica , Prilep , Kumanovo and Tetovo . Thousands of people have taken part in the demonstrations . The European Union and the United States criticized the government of Macedonia for the pardon of the politicians and have stated that Macedonia 's prospects of becoming a member of the EU and NATO are under threat because of it . In an official statement , the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia labelled the Macedonian opposition as a tool of foreign powers being used to destabilize the political situation in the country .
