    After mounting domestic and international political pressure, the Foreign Minister of Turkey Mevlut Cavusoglu announced that Turkey will allow some Kurdish forces to cross the border into Syria to fight the Islamic State in the Syrian town of Kobane. Turkey will not allow all Kurdish forces to fight, and will only allow the Peshmerga, rather than the PKK, to cross the border. "Peshmerga" is a Kurdish word for armed fighters, but more specifically refers to nationalist soldiers for an independent Kurdish state.

An interesting aspect of the story is it said to have been ISIS members who were operating their social media accounts for propaganda purposes.

    This article was extremely interesting. It discussed the potential for an all women city in Saudi Arabia. The city would be an area for single women to work to and learn new skills allowing them some independence. The idea of an all women city is baffling to me, it seems the country is moving even further back in time with gender advances.
