Hamit Karakus (1965) werd geboren in Kırşehir in Turkije. Hij groeide op in Steenwijk, waar hij zijn LBO-diploma haalde. In de jaren ’80 viel hij al snel op in zijn werk als politieman in Rotterdam. Daarna maakte hij kort carrière in de vastgoedsector. Na de nederlaag in de verkiezingen van 2002, werd hij gevraagd binnen de PvdA Rotterdam, vanaf 2006 tot 2014 was hij voor die partij wethouder en loco-burgemeester in de Maasstad. Toen de verkiezingen van dat jaar niet goed afliepen vertrok Karakus uit de actieve politiek en werd hij Directeur van Platform31.

Dit boek vertelt zijn levensverhaal, zoals hij het in vele gesprekken vertelde aan de schrijver van dit boek, Dick Gebuys. Het verhaal van iemand die geen uitdaging uit de weg ging die het leven hem bood en die de lessen die hij daaruit trok meenam op zijn levenspad om daaruit een positieve kijk op dat leven af te leiden. En een visie op onze maatschappij en de politiek, die heel erg bij deze tijd past. Het verhaal van iemand die alle kansen greep om zich te ontwikkelen. En die zich steeds is blijven ontwikkelen.

Hamits verhaal is lesmateriaal voor al degenen die de mond vol hebben van integratie. Het biedt ook hoop voor al die jongeren die de steile lad­ders van onze samenleving beklimmen. Het kan maar je moet het wel echt willen. Hamit deed dat en hij zij geprezen. Lees en leer!

Well-designed and quiet, but didn’t keep my dog interested
Color: Blue
My dog was interested in this at first, but she would lose interest after a few minutes and move on. I do like that it’s quieter than the hard plastic ball toys, and the charge lasts well. The internal charging port that twists closed is also a nice design feature. That said, it will occasionally turn on by itself, which can be a little surprising. Overall, it has some nice features, but it just didn’t keep my dog engaged.

Good - for a few hours
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Concept is fantastic. Dog loved it. Problem is that she figured out how to open it within two hours of play. The robot core, alas, did not survive. In the photo, you see a tooth went cleanly into the button and that was the end of the toy.

The most engaging interactive toy for my Border Collie
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
My Border Collie is not a big ball player. He prefers tug type games and actually gives me a look like, “Are you stupid? I’m not going to keep bringing that to you if all you’re going to do is throw it away again!” after about the third time I throw a ball for him to fetch. However, I can only play tug so often and I need him to be entertained and engaged as much as possible. I got him a smaller, non-padded ball like this hoping he would like the interactive aspect of it. He did- he actually loved it! But it was loud, hard on his teeth, would come apart periodically, and he kept hitting the off button when playing with it. It drove me crazy. This one is so much better overall! The soft outer shell is not only easier on his teeth, but it is super resilient to biting and chewing. He actually likes to carry this thing around in his mouth while it’s bouncing and vibrating. The three modes give great flexibility for different kinds of play. His favorite is the most active mode: the ball reacts to touch and practically bounces itself across the floor when he touches it with his paw or mouth. I will point out that in one of the modes, I thought the battery wasn’t charged or there was a motor issue because it’s very subdued movement; however, it’s just set up as a low-key option. Be sure to check out each mode to see which works best for your dog at different times. I can’t say enough about this ball- I have been so pleasantly surprised by how much he loves it. The rechargeable feature is super convenient, it’s big enough to not get stuck under the couch, and it automatically shuts off based on whichever mode it’s set on. As the owner of a busy, super-smart dog who needs to be engaged in mental and physical activity, I think this all is worth every penny. In fact, I’m buying one for a friend who has a Border Collie pup with lots of energy to burn! I highly recommend this toy- it’s the most engaging toy I’ve found that Finn will play with on his own.

Not as Smart or Interactive as You Think it Will Be
Color: Blue
This is an honest review from a schnauzer owner who has has wanted this cheerble ball for their dog for more than one year. I finally bougI finally bought this toy and both me and my dog are disappointed. The settings are...i would say dog friendly as I'd assumed a dog ball would be. What I mean by that is, for example: the calm play setting is muuch too calm. Super light puffs of energy, like a battery is dying. And the playful setting is scary, alarmingly so. The intervals in between are too long. The ball does not bounce. So they just have settings all wrong. The size is good for a large dog only. Do not buy if you have a small to medium dog. I even think the material is okay. I've only had it for a few days so I can't even speak to how the material holds up. Really hoping to love this ball for my dog. It was not the distraction I was hoping it would be so I could work from home while my dog had fun. I'm hoping this can help someone else who's been pining over it. Essentially, it's a $35-$50 well made weighted ball that moves occasionally.

Light up and glow in the dark ball
Size: One-Size-for-Most
Definitely my girls favorite ball 😀. It disappears and I have to buy another one or she goes nuts. Glows in the dark, brighter with more sun. The bounce light up don’t last a real long time, too quick to quit for her but still loves it.
