America.... black and white.....

İn our other lesson we were given a homework related to the most impressive event of the year and when i was thinking about it, i realized that for the most impressive event of the year I would like to choose the election of American country. Cos it really unexpectable and unknown changes in this big country. Since I always thought that American people hate the black men I never could imagine that they will choose the black person for presidency, being a head for all American people and so on. When I have learned it was deeply shocked and impressed news for me because once the black men were slaves for white American people and now all of them will be under the black president. It is really interesting situation, isn’t it?

The Taj Mahal and true love story.....

In this paragraph I would like to share with you about the one of the seven wonders of our world”Taj Mahal“and beautiful love story behind this monument. Shah Jahan, the son of Jehangir, the fourth Mughal emperor of India, he fell in love in Arjumand Banu Begum at first time. At that time he was 14 years old and she, a Muslim Persian princess, was 15. After meeting her, Shah Jahan went back to his father and declared that he wanted to marry her. However, in that time they could not get married but five years after they could achieve their goal to be together. Shah Jahan had other wives also, but, Mumtaz Mahal was his favorite and accompanied him everywhere, even on military campaigns. Unfortunately, when Mumtaz Mahal was giving birth to their 14th child, she died due to some complications. Poor Shah Mahal was so heartbroken after her death that he ordered the court into morning for two years. There was no music, no feasting, and no celebration of any kind. Before the death his wife permitted him to love another woman but eventhough he had so many wives he never could love them as his first wife. Some time after her death, Shah Jahan undertook the task of erecting the world's most beautiful monument in the memory of his beloved. It took 22 years and the labor of 22,000 workers to construct this monument, which is also said to be the last wish of Mumtaz Mahal.
Some legend says that when this monument was building the wish of Shah Jahan was that the main enter of this monument had to be located so that when he desire to look at the monument he could see it from his personal palace. But he could not see that because he was imprisoned by his son because of the emperor throne. Before he went to the prison he was asked his last wish, and his last wish from his son was, seeing the monument of his beloved from the window of the ward. This is the true story of the Taj Mahal of India, which has mesmerized many people with its bewitching beauty. And also loved and admired by meeee.

Konya Konya Konya............

On fourth day of holiday I went to Konya with my friends. It was really nice place, not greatly exciting and impressive, but amazing and calming. There are many historical places to learn and enjoy; for example, if I am not wrong it was”Mevlana turbesi” where we went first. I was really shocked when I saw handwritten books done with difficulties and love. Then we learned how they lived, where they lived and also how they was learning to dance with their own way.
Then we went to eat Konya’s famous meal namely “Etli ekmek”. It was absolutely delicious, if somebody has not tried it, yet, I highly recommend it to try. It was really enjoyable thing in Konya, more enjoyable than”Mevlana turbesi”. I am not joking, by the way.
However, we could not walk much because of the cold weather. So we decided to come back little early than we planned. But it was satisfying and lovely journey anyway.

MIT University

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. MIT has five schools and one college, and also contains 32 academic departments, with a strong emphasis on scientific and technological research. William Barton Rogers founded it in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States. MIT researchers were involved in efforts to develop computers, radar, and inertial guidance in connection with defense research during World War II and the Cold War. In the past 60 years, MIT's educational programs have been expanding the physical sciences and engineering into social sciences like economics, linguistics, political science, and management.

Academics and research
MIT is a large, highly residential, majority graduate/professional research university. The four year, full-time undergraduate instructional program is classified as "balanced arts & sciences/professions" with a high graduate coexistence and admissions are characterized as "more selective, lower transfer in". The graduate program is classified as "comprehensive". The university is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
Classes
Undergraduates are required to complete an extensive core curriculum called the General Institute Requirements (GIRs). The science requirement, generally completed during freshman year as prerequisites for classes in science and engineering majors, comprises two semesters of physics classes covering classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism, two semesters of math covering single variable calculus and multivariable calculus, one semester of chemistry, and one semester of biology. Undergraduates are required to take a laboratory class in their major, eight Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences classes (at least three in a concentration and another four unrelated subjects), and non-varsity athletes must also take four physical education classes.
Research activity
In 2007, MIT spent about $598.3 million for on-campus research. The federal government was the largest source of sponsored research, with the Department of Health and Human Services granting about $201.6 million, Department of Defense about $90.6 million, Department of Energy about $64.9 million, National Science Foundation about $65.1 million. MIT employs approximately 3,500 researchers in addition to faculty.
Tuition
Tuition is $37,750 for nine months, although 64% of undergraduates receive need-based financial aid and 87% of graduate students are supported by MIT fellowships, research assistantships, or teaching assistantships.

Franklin D.Roosevelt President of the U.S.A.

These days, most of us are interested in presidency and, as well, give the questions about being a president. So, now I decided to share with you the life and presidency of one of my favorite president, Franklin D.Roosevelt., the president who led the U.S.A during both the Great Depression and World War II, paralyzed from the waist down. Even though, he was suffering a bout of polio, he overcame his disability and was elected president of the United States an unprecedented four times. His power to live and fight with the barriers that life gives always deeply impresses me.
In 1900th he entered the Harvard University, but his political career begun when he was only 28 years old, winning the senate seat in Duchess County in 1910 and 1912.
Roosevelt's career as a state senator was very short in 1913 because he was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. This position became even more important when the United States began making preparations to join in World War I.
At age 39, Roosevelt had lost the use of both of his legs because of the poliomyelitis (i.e. polio). Before the vaccine was created in 1955, polio was an unfortunately common virus that, in its severest form, could cause paralysis.
In 1928, Franklin D. Roosevelt was asked to run for governor of New York. While he wanted back into politics, FDR had to determine whether or not his body was strong enough to withstand a gubernatorial campaign. In the end, he decided he could and that year he won selection and also two years after.
1932nd’s in America begun the economical crisis which then was called The Great Depression and in that year Franklin D. Roosevelt was selected as a president of the U.S.A; however, this crisis was not solved until The World War II finished. In 1944, Roosevelt won his fourth presidential election; however, he did not live long enough to finish it.
On April 12, 1945, Roosevelt was sitting in a chair at his home in Warm Springs, Georgia, having his portrait painted by Elizabeth Shoumatoff, when he stated "I have a terrific headache" and then lost consciousness. President Roosevelt, having led the United States during both the Great Depression and World War II, died less than one month before the end of the war in Europe. Roosevelt was buried at his family home in Hyde Park.

Cosmetic surgery it is so fantastic........

Nowadays, cosmetic surgery has become so popular that almost all stars and famous people do it even sometimes not thinking about consequences. Running to be an ideal and doing these surgeries they must not be thinking that they torture their body. And cosmetic surgery has the same risks as any surgery, as well: The risk of infection, the risk of organ failure during surgery, and the risk of an allergic reaction to medications. Also it is a psychological defect multipurpose of the person; thinking that given body is imperfection and misshapen. I sometimes wonder why so many people pay a heavy emotional and psychological price for cosmetic surgery. Why they just can keep what they have already? Just compare what you see in picture I put above, how many difference in them. It is a horrifying image, isn’t it? Eventhough they are the same person İ do not think İ could distinguish them from one another.

Cell phones.........???

There are several different types of radiation present in our surroundings on a day to day. Electromagnetic energy from cell phones and radio towers are categorized as non-ionizing radiation and are generally thought to be harmless, while iodizing rays from x-rays and nuclear energy has been proven to cause cancer. However, in recent years the sheer number of non-ionizing instruments in our environment has caused some scientists to wonder if the assumption that this type of radiation is truly safe at low levels as once thought. As cell phones, microwaves, satellites and radio have all become much more widespread; people claim to suffer everything from headaches to cancer as a result of their exposure to this "harmless" radiation

Nuclear weapons.....

American nuclear technology evolved rapidly between 1944 and 1950. The Russians evolved between 1939-1949. From that time Americans and Russians relations turned into somehow the cold war situation. These days the cold war between them has thawed, but the proliferation of weapons goes on, and the growing masses of nuclear waste. Why? Because the military ways of thinking go on, the national security imperative still drives small countries to spend most of their small budget on weapons instead of social programs. We need to outgrow the dangerous and costly structures of thinking that are our legacy from modernity. Instead of endless debates, we need dialogue and negotiations—not just in Ireland, Russia, Pakistan, the Balkans, the Middle East—but in the United Nations about the natural resources, power concentrations, poverty, human rights of the populations of the world. The right of supreme states must be further limited when it comes to human rights and the management of its resources. The rest of the world must have a say in such matters. Nuclear weapons do not risk just the populations of the nations that build them but everybody else. They must be internationally controlled for the good of humanity.

My dream which never will come true…. .

Hi, my dear friends from foreign language education department! Today I want to share with you my little dream which will never come true. When I was a child I wanted to be a cardiologist surgery of the children. I do not know why but I liked it very much, I like it now, too. When applied for this profession, before I came here, I was failed and those times I was so angry that somebody just deducted my dream, and you can only imagine how big disappointment it was for me. I was depressed and those times I did not know that if something happens it is always for better. And now I am sometimes even mirth that I did not become a doctor because, you know, I very love children and I love when they are just happy, but when they are crying and suffering from something my heart seems to explode. Now when I am little grown up I can realize that if something during operation will go wrong and one child will die because of my fault I will never forgive myself, and I know I will die with this child, too, not my body, it will live………, but my soul.
Thanks for giving attention friends!!!

The forest in winter day seems so beautiful with as white as baby’s soul snow on tree’s branches and path between, just as it will never end. Just only imagine quasi you are walking in this forest and you will learn how composure comes to your body with calmness in your mind. Thoughts will go too far from you and feeling of being free will enjoy you. Then, breathe the frozen air which titillate your nose, sensate how the air is clear. Open your eyes and look at up, do you see a blue - blue sky over your head? It so fantastic that you feel yourself as you are flying, aren’t you?

You came for me my darling; you are my treasure….. I was waiting for you so long and you are here. Your breath gave me the power to live and be strong against everything. You are too weak but you can do everybody vigorous with your only one glance. Your embrace stronger than any metal in that world and your smile can melt a frozen heart.
Being a Mother – the feeling that cannot be explained in two or three sentence…. It is so deep inside……. It does not even matter who you are the human or animal. All of them are mothers; tigers, pandas, bears, or human beings. All of them have the same feelings to secure a safety for their child.
By the way, who said that tigers cannot love but only kill? I think almost everybody but I will not accept it.
Even the tiger who is regarded as one of the cruel animals of our world feel the feeling of Being a Mother; to bring up and look after her child.
When I am looking at the picture of panda it resembles me my mother when I am back from Turkey. She hugs me so hard that it is sometimes hard to breath. But I know she does it because she was so missing and waiting for me, even it is not so long time as I were far.

Impacts of mushrooms

There are no simple rules to indicate whether a mushroom is edible or deadly poisonous. But the prudent know NEVER to take unnecessary risks by eating an unfamiliar mushroom. Although the number of fatal mushrooms is small, understanding the effects of the different types of toxins could mean the difference between life and death. The problem with mushroom poisoning is that initial symptoms generally only manifest themselves 6 to 48 hours after the eating, by which time toxins have already been absorbed by the liver and kidneys. Supportive treatment consists of blood transfusions and dialysis. However, due to coagulation disturbance and low blood sugar a patient may lapse into a coma and die.

Getting older.....and gray hair :)

Have you ever watched someone try to cover up gray hair? Or maybe you wonder why your granddad has a full head of silver hair when in old pictures it used to be dark brown? Each hair on our heads is made up of two parts:
a shaft - the colored part we see growing out of our heads
a root - the bottom part, which keeps the hair anchored under the scalp
The root of every strand of hair is surrounded by a tube of tissue under the skin that is called the hair follicle. Each hair follicle contains a certain number of pigment cells. These pigment cells continuously produce a chemical called melanin that gives the growing shaft of hair its color of brown, blonde, red, and anything in between. Melanin is the same stuff that makes our skin's color fair or darker. It also helps determine whether a person will burn or tan in the sun. The dark or light color of someone's hair depends on how much melanin each hair contains. As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like gray, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray. People can get gray hair at any age. Some people go gray at a young age - as early as when they are in high school or college - whereas others may be in their 30s or 40s before they see that first gray hair. How early we get gray hair is determined by our genes. This means that most of us will start having gray hairs around the same age that our parents or grandparents first did. Some people think that a big shock or trauma can turn a person's hair white or gray overnight, but scientists don't really believe that this happens. Just in case, try not to freak out your parents too much. You don't want to be blamed for any of their gray hairs!

Mass Media and Beaty

The term mass media describes many forms of entertainment: television, film, music, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and advertising. For decades these resources have been available to people of all ages. Because this is where we receive most of our information, it is used by media organizations to target and impact youth of all worlds. Idealized beauty standards, irrelevant sexualization are only some of the ways that young women in the media are portrayed today. There is a general overview of how many of the things we are used to seeing and sending a negative image to young people everywhere. Let’s be honest, the average person in this country does not look like Angelina Jolie, Halle Barry or Gina Carano. So why it is that average women are not represented in mass media formats? It’s actually a simple answer.
Idealized beauty standards are seen everywhere from commercials, to TV shows and movies. These ideals puts pressure on young women to look like the people featured in music, magazines, film and many other mass media formats, even if the goal of being that thin is unattainable without harming your body’s health.
The film industry is one that has a major effect on how young women are viewed in society. The music industry just like the film industry exhibits the use of irrelevant sexualization to attract an audience of young people. Music videos showcase behavior that is just as promiscuous as what you see in film. Women’s bodies are constantly displayed in a sexual way, and this behavior is imitated by young girls across the country who idolizes them. It is clear that images of young women in the media have a tremendous impact on young people everywhere. Whether it is through film, music, or any other mass media format the public is constantly pressured to fit into today’s ideal of what beauty is. Young people are influenced to act like the characters they watch on TV.

Alemtuzumab..........????????

Alemtuzumab- a type of drug known as a monoclonal antibody - was created at Cambridge in the late 1970s, and has long been used to treat leukaemia by killing off the cancerous white cells of the immune system. Also it can be a serious weapon against the multiple sclerosis(MS). But it only in early stage of research. So it can produce potentially serious side-effects as well.
The latest three-year study, of 334 patients with relapsing-remitting MS which had yet to be treated, found that the drug cut the number of attacks of disease by 74% more than the reduction achieved by conventional interferon-beta therapy. It also reduced the risk of sustained accumulation of disability by 71% compared to beta-interferon.
MS is caused by fault in the body's immune system which leads it to attack nerve fibres and their protective insulation.This damage prevents the nerves from 'firing' properly, and then leads to their destruction, resulting in physical and intellectual disabilities.

GM foods:harmful or helpful?

Hi, everybody!!! In this topic I would like to talk about Genetically Modified foods which became often used products in our world. And I guess that some of us have not even thought about harmful effects of these products. GM foods are "transgenic" life forms i.e organisms that cross unnatural gene lines (such as tomato seed genes crossed with potato genes). These organisms maturate the chain reaction inside of our bodies and decay it. And of course it leads to many deaths. Recorded Deaths from GM in 1989, dozens of Americans died and several thousands were afflicted and impaired (Mayeno and Gleich, 1994). Nowadays, in the shops and in the markets we cannot even distinguish these products one from another, and so most of the people even do not know what they buy. To avoid this displeasing situation I think all GM foods have to be labeled.
If they are labeled people will know what to buy exactly. Thank for attention!

HAKCERS.....?????

Hackers, who they actually? And why the professional hacker not only respect, but also are afraid?. The answer is simple: people are afraid of everything that cannot understand. The hacker can create "miracles" by means of the usual computer, the hacker is the person of new generation for whom there are no borders! The professional hacker can either create universal protection or immediately destroy everything that was created by years.
