Big Earning Opportunity
Shicco is a decentralized and BSC-based project built entirely with a community focus. In particular, the developed reference system is quite innovative. The roadmap of the project also includes the information that it will switch to its own main network in the future.
**The biggest feature that distinguishes Shicco from others is its decentralized reference system.**
We know that many projects have reference systems before. However, since **Shicco's referral rates are both high and supported by a smart contract**, your referral income is automatically sent to your wallet when a user makes a purchase with a referral link. Since it has a decentralized structure, no approval is required.
Moreover, you do not need to purchase any tokens to use reference income. In other words, you can earn 25% reference income and these incomes are instantly deposited in your wallet. All you have to do is link your BSC-based wallet to the platform and get a one-click referral link. All that remains is to publish this link on various social media.
**One of the nice things about the system is that 20% of the 25% reference income is sent as BNB and 5% as Shicco. For example, for a user who clicks on your referral link and buys $1000 worth of Shicco from the platform, $200 worth of BNB and $50 worth of Shicco are instantly sent to your wallet.**
Such a reference system, supported and by smart contract, does not exist in the crypto money world. Shicco will revolutionize this sense.
Moreover, the reference link you shared will be extra active for 2 months. That is, even if a user visits this system with your link and does not buy tokens, your reference will still be valid even if he enters the link of someone and buys tokens within 2 months. In other words, if a user visits the platform with your link first, you will receive a share of the purchases they make within 2 months.
Almost all of the crypto money projects are first come, first come, more profitable projects. The Shicco project is also such a project. However, the difference from the others is that it promises much more profit, as well as the chance to get these earnings instantly.
As I mentioned above, Shicco plans to launch its Mainnet in the future. This is an indication that the project has serious plans for the future. However, it is also stated in the roadmap that future studies will be carried out for the NFT sector. Of course, it is stated that the Shicco project will also be a good stake program. Users who lock Shicco into the system will be able to earn stake income.
So, the project developers seem to have made a long-term plan. Speaking of the roadmap, let me state that the whitepaper of the project was prepared in a very simple and understandable way. There is a succinct whitepaper that anyone can easily read and understand.
We see that the maximum supply of Shicco is 1 quadrillion. Don't be intimidated by the fact that the token supply is this high. There are projects in front of us that have a very high supply but have reached very good places. Already, the market value it has reached rather than the token supply is for an important project. It needs to get a serious community in order to reach a nice market value for one project. Considering the decentralized reference system, we can easily say that Shicco will reach a large community.
You can do yourself a big favor by being quick to not miss the opportunities offered by Shicco, a project that will grow like an avalanche.
Let me tell you that my first reference earnings came to my wallet. This is an awesome opportunity.

The Kiss of Life from Russia to NATO
The most important agenda item of the "NATO Leaders' Summit" held in Brussels on March 24 was Russia's attempt to invade Ukraine. NATO members drew a picture of unity against Russia. Established in 1949 against the Soviet Union, NATO was the military, political and ideological apparatus of the "Cold War" era. According to Lord Hastings Lionel Ismay, NATO's first secretary general, NATO was established to "keep the Russians out, the Americans in, the Germans down". Defeated in the Second World War, Germany was admitted to NATO in 1955. However, Germany was seen as one of NATO's weak links. The financial contribution of Germany, which has the largest economy in Europe, to NATO was proportionally below that of many members. This situation was the cause of a serious crisis between the USA and Germany during the Presidency of Donald Trump.
On February 24, 2022, Russia's attempt to invade Ukraine caused Germany to change its stance. Germany has committed to both strengthening its own army and increasing its financial contribution to NATO. This new situation is described as "keep the Russians out, the Americans in, the Germans standing". Germany's change of attitude came as a surprise to Russia.
During the "Cold War" period, the USA reacted violently to the efforts of NATO member countries to get closer with the Soviet Union. The oil embargo initiated by the oil-rich Arab countries in 1973, and the fact that some European countries, especially Germany, turned to Soviet oil with the "barter" method disturbed the USA. The United States pressured the West German government to break barter agreements with the Soviets.
In every crisis of NATO, Moscow came to the rescue. According to Shay Khatiri, co-author of the US opinion website "The Bulvark", Putin was not the first Russian leader to revive the dying Trans-Atlantic alliance. And the Kremlin had a strange habit of reviving the alliance when it was at its weakest. This was the subject of Khatiri's March 24 article. One of NATO's most serious first crises was caused by the "Suez Crisis" in 1956.
Joint military intervention of NATO members Britain and France in Egypt with Israel was inconsistent with the Middle East policies of the USA. Ultimately, under the pressure of the USA, Britain, France and Israel were forced to withdraw from Egypt. This crisis had brought NATO almost to the point of disintegration. Even the meeting of the NATO Summit, which was expected to take place in London the same year, was in danger. However, Moscow's military intervention in Hungary, a satellite country of the Soviet Union, strengthened NATO again. So NATO was saved.
In the 1960s, France under Charles De Gaulle also pursued a policy of détente with the Soviet Union. France withdrew from the military wing of NATO in 1966 due to the US involvement in European policy. According to the 13th article of the NATO Treaty, after 20 years have passed since the establishment of NATO, any country that wanted could leave the membership. The twentieth year was in April 1969. However, there were rumors that NATO might disband in 1969 due to disagreements between the US and France and some other members. In August 1968, Moscow's military intervention in Czechoslovakia, a satellite country of the Soviet Union, once again saved NATO.
The disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the end of the "Cold War" period changed the threat perceptions of European countries regarding Moscow. The continuation of NATO's existence despite the dissolution of the Moscow-led Warsaw Pact has always been discussed. On top of that, with the push of the USA, NATO continued to expand towards the borders of Russia. As Russia collapsed economically, it was ineffective against this expansion. This situation started to change after Vladimir Putin came to power by surprise. While the feeling of trust eroded among NATO members, Russia increased its military power with oil and gas revenues.
The US's "open door" policy for Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO was the first serious break. The US-NATO managed to trap Russia with its "open door" policy. Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 revived NATO a bit. On February 24, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine had further cemented Europe into NATO.

The Facts Behind the Ukraine-Russia War
Paul Craig Roberts... was Under Secretary of the Treasury during Ronald Reagan's presidency. He was managing America's money. He was one of those who knew best how the American floating system worked, down to its deep structures and cells.
In a TV interview, look how he explained the operation of the system in the USA; "**The greatest power in the US is those who run Wall Street. These people have unpredictable financial resources. They're the people who run the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank, and the Financial Regulatory Agencies, and they're more powerful than any president. They can operate anywhere they want. Those are the communities that really run the United States. The President or the Senate don't run the country."**
Paul wrote a book in 2016. He called that book "**The New Conservative Threat—Washington's War for Supremacy from Eastern Europe to the Middle East**." Exactly 6 years ago, he announced to the whole world how the leaked "New Conservatives" who steered US policy were making a reckless war plan. In Ukraine, there was an American deep structure that put into effect the massacres against the Russians in the country, step by step, with the fascists it supported. According to Paul, efforts were being made to bring Russia into a war with Ukraine.
Before we get into the details Paul has given, let's go back to July 2014. Five months after the pro-American revolution supported by the CIA-Soros-Nuland in Ukraine, the Malaysian passenger plane, which took off from Amsterdam, crashed with a BUK missile fired from the region captured by pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine. 298 people lost their lives and the world was on its feet.
Russia's official RIA news agency claimed that "The Ukrainian army transferred Buk missile launchers from Kharkiv city to Donetsk region last Wednesday. The Malaysian plane was most likely hit by a missile fired from this launcher." **Days later, the news that another plane carrying Russian President Putin was flying to the same place at the same time as the crashed Malaysian plane was shaking the world. Putin was the target. The Malaysian plane was accidentally shot down. If the right target had been shot that day, Putin would have died with a missile fired from Ukraine, and the Russian Army would have entered the neighboring lands that day.**
Here, Paul Craig Roberts tells in his book this deep plan behind the scenes of the war, which was delayed for 8 years due to the shooting down of the wrong plane. He says that Putin was targeted with missiles given to Ukrainian fascists under the direction of the USA. He openly talks about war plans that will spread from Ukraine to Syria, from Crimea to Georgia, from Turkey to Egypt. It brings up the goals of an uncontrolled power that uses Europe and NATO as a tool to drag the world into a destructive war step by step.
Paul says: "Russia has nuclear missiles and military technology. These make Russia the strongest military barrier to US hegemony. Washington has broken the Reagan-Gorbachev agreements to neutralize Russia, reintroducing NATO to include the former countries of the Soviet Union. Now it continues its attempts through Georgia and Ukraine. The plan to bring Russia into war with Ukraine is to reduce Moscow's deterrence, break its relationship with China, thereby destroying its power to oppose Washington's will. "**There is no warning outside of England. Europe will also be aligned this way.**" he was saying. He was saying that the USA had overthrown the pro-Russian Ukraine leader by spending 5 billion dollars to prepare the ground for the war that is taking place today. The Ukrainian-born Jew Nuland, who is the US Deputy Secretary of State today, was also bragging about saying, "I spent $5 billion to make the revolution in Ukraine."
In his book, Paul Craig Roberts explains in detail in his book in 2016 that the missile on the downed Malaysian plane was actually Putin's plane and says; "I can say that Putin's plane and the Malaysian plane intersected at the same minute and at the same level at the same time. This was at the 330-m stage at 10,100 meters high. The shapes of the planes were the same, their linear dimensions were very similar. As for the colour, they were almost the same when viewed from quite a distance."
Paul says that the Ukraine-Russia war was intended to be started with a missile in the deep corridors of America 8 years ago and warned in his book 6 years ago; "The Ukraine-Russia war is coming. Is the world ready for nuclear war?"
A NFT Card Game Bunny Girls
The cryptocurrency project I have chosen for you today is the Bunny Girls project, which is an NFT card game platform where NFT cards can be developed and sold, earning income by farming with these cards, and making money by playing games through these cards.
The game is basically built on NFT cards with pictures of sexy anime girls. Within the platform, there will be a store to develop these beautiful girls with clothes and different jewelry, an NFT market to sell the cards developed, as well as a farming section and a play and win section.
As with other NFT card games, the NFT cards in this game are categorized as common, rare, epic, legendary and holy, from the most common to the rarest. Depending on the rarity of the card, both the value and power will be different, as well as the farming and game earnings that will be given to the owner.
The platform also has a surprise box called Bunnybox. It is stated that there is one Bunny Girl in each of these boxes. It is stated that it will not be clear in which category the NFT cards in the boxes are and a surprise girl may appear after the box is purchased.
In addition to all these features, the platform also has a Bounty and Jackpot section. We can think of this part as a game of chance or a lottery.
Transactions on the platform and the rewards to be won will be carried out through the project's BSC-based token, the BNGT token.
The platform also has a Black Hole application. This application is an application where 80% of the funds spent on Bunnybox purchases will be burned, 15% will be used for repurchases and 5% will be used to stabilize the value of the BNGT token.
**Project team**
I would like to state that there is no detailed information about the project team and there are no real photographs. Many projects now use anime images instead of actual photos of the developer team. We've all taken this for granted. However, we see that there is a team of 5 people with 3 to 5 years of experience in Blockchain project management, project and application development.
**My word**
This project is actually a classic NFT card game. As in other NFT card games, there are options such as NFT cards in different categories where the values of the cards change, as well as the ability to improve these cards. In addition, NFT farming and NFT market options are also things we can encounter in other NFT card games. Honestly, we can say that what's different about this project is that all these options are presented on NFT cards of very sexy anime girl pictures. In fact, the project page also refers to the friendship to be established with the Bunny girls. Years ago, I read that a virtual dating app like this was very popular in Japan.
Although I state that I do not have great expectations for the game, it can gain a place in the market depending on the interest it will receive from the community as a result of the improvements in the roadmap.
It is not investment advice.
A Swap, An NFT Marketplace, A Bridge Protocol, A DeFi Platform
Recently, as a result of my research and reading, I have come across projects with really big goals. The crypto money project that I will tell you about today is **123swap**, which is one of such comprehensive projects.
As the name suggests, this project is basically a decentralized swap exchange. However, it is clear that they do not intend to be an ordinary swap exchange. In addition to building an exchange to integrate with almost any network in the crypto market, they aim to offer DeFi services such as yield farming, lending and borrowing, create a marketplace where users can sell by creating NFTs, and provide a bridge service to facilitate multi-chain asset management. They say that they have created an infrastructure that is transparent, decentralized and completely managed by the community, as they aim for the swap platform they will build to be a web3-oriented community platform. They state that users holding 123 tokens can have a say in the management and development of the platform. This platform, which will include services that are not available in all other swap exchanges serving in the crypto money industry, is already integrated with Ethereum, Fantom, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Heco, Harmony, Cronos, Moonriver, Arbitrum.
In short, the 123swap platform seems to have rolled up its sleeves so that almost all transactions related to the crypto money market can be made quickly and reliably from one place. Except for the latest trends metaverse and gamefi, of course. However, in the future, they may want to take a hand in this matter.
The platform's governance token, 123 Token, is currently based on BEP 20 and ERC 20 and has a **maximum supply of 129 million**. In addition, the project's security tests were carried out by Hacken and it was concluded without any problems.
**The team of the 123swap project** consists of 12 people. While there are anime portraits instead of photos of the team members, each of them has Linkedin addresses. We can say that two names who are the founding members of the project team and undertake the duties of the CEO and CTO of the project come to the fore.
The founding member Tomas Ambrazas, the first of which is the CEO of the project, is the chairman of a licensed money institution in the European Union. Having held senior management positions in 25 different companies, Ambrazas also holds a banking graduate degree. The CEO, who has consulting experience in blockchain and ICO issues, is also an angel investor.
Tadas Ambrazas, the other founding member who is the CTO of the project, is also a licensed broker with 15 years of financial experience.
**Before concluding my article, which took about 3 hours, I would like to briefly state my opinion about the project**. Frankly, I can say that it was very attractive to me that it would integrate so many features with many networks. In particular, many people feel the lack of a bridge protocol that will integrate with almost any network on the market. Such a decentralized structure can be very successful if it works at an affordable price and without problems. However, not all of these tasks will be easy to accomplish. I can say that the team information in Whitepapper did not satisfy me. Moreover, I noticed that the pre-sale organizations that had to be held were postponed 2 times. However, I think the distribution of the token supply within the scope of the project could have been better. For this reason, before you decide to invest in any way or participate in the pre-sale, be sure to do your own research.

International Digital Health System with DeHealth
Today, I would like to talk to you about a crypto money project that I have come to the conclusion that it is a very comprehensive and quality project during my readings. Blockchain technology is used in many areas in the world, as well as in the field of medicine to keep data in a healthy and protected way. The project I came across today looks like a project that has been developed in the field of medicine and that can make a name for itself around the world with its breakthroughs, the quality of its team and the plans included in the roadmap.
This project, whose name is DeHealth, aims to ensure that all people of the world have safe access to health services, as well as to stay healthy primarily by making use of the doctors and other health services and products within its body. It appears as a project that uses artificial intelligence to be able to use it and plans to create a health ecosystem by tokenizing all these services.
In addition to being supported by many doctors and health institutions, DeHealth has already managed to make official agreements on the safe storage of medical data in Ukraine.
As soon as you save your health data to the system, wherever you are in the world, you will be able to receive service from the health institutions that DeHealth has contracted with. Moreover, the healthcare provider that will assist you will know your medical history in case any healthcare intervention is required. On top of that, you will have the opportunity to receive artificial intelligence-assisted counseling to protect your health. You will have the opportunity to access the products of health companies that are included in the DeHelath eco system through the system. In short, we can say that DeHealth offers the people of the world the chance to access both state-of-the-art healthcare services and medicines in a decentralized web 3 focused ecosystem with the support of Blockchain technology.
In addition to all these, you will be able to earn income by sharing your own health data with companies that conduct drug research.
DeHealth plans to do all these services by putting the HLT Token at the center. The HLT, which is initially planned to be launched on the BSC-based market and has a total supply of 1 billion, can then be transferred to the mainnet of the project because there is talk of establishing an HLT Network in the roadmap.
DeHealth also plans to launch a crypto wallet that can be integrated into its own mobile apps. It is planned to be able to pay for healthcare services and products both with their own networks and their own wallets and tokens.
In addition, DeHealth will also have its own NFT marketplace where users who tokenize content by producing it will be able to generate income by selling them. Again, as stated, HLT Token holders will be able to earn staking income. So there will be a kind of POS mining.
According to the transferred data, the number of people who entered the patient card in the DeHealth application so far has exceeded 3 million. Of this number, 2.7 million use health data. So far, 4.35 million appointments have been created through the application. In addition to more than 670 health institutions that are members of DeHealth, more than 34 thousand doctors use DeHealth data. That is, this system is already actively used in the world. What they are trying to do now is to tokenize the system.
As I conclude this comprehensive article I have prepared about the project, if I have to briefly express my thoughts, I think that the DeHealth project has the potential to make a real difference in the crypto money market. It is a very comprehensive and already supported project. If they can be successful enough in opening up to the world, I believe they can grow a lot. I should add that it is a project worth following closely.
This article and my comments are definitely not investment advice. I wanted to tell you in more detail about a project that caught my attention and has the potential to do good work in the sector it has chosen.
A Metaverse Multi-VR Gaming Ecosystem MetagamZ
During my crypto research today, I came across an interesting project. As we all know, the latest trend in the crypto market is the metaverse. Many projects have been implemented in this area recently. In particular, many game projects focused on the metaverse have come out and continue to come out. As always, some of these projects will end up in the crypto dump. Many projects that are not well-prepared and well-planned will not be able to escape from extinction.
The project that I will talk about today will also be a metaverse-oriented project, but rather than being a game project, this project is a combination of metaverse-oriented games, offering different opportunities for both developers and players, as well as different advertising and marketing that metaverse technology will allow. It appears as a project that plans to establish a kind of unified metaverse game world, which aims to provide movement space for projects for the sectors.
So much so that the motto of this project is “**Explore the first VR ecosystem dedicated to gaming.**”
MetagamZ wants to create a metaverse game ecosystem, especially considering the effects and opportunities it creates in the game world, with the combination of metaverse technology with Blockchain. While doing this, especially winking at game developers, MetagamZ also wants to create a virtual world for game lovers whose numbers are expressed in billions, where they can find many games together.
Game publishers will be able to attract visitors to the VR world they will create for themselves, thanks to MetagamZ. Game publishers will be able to develop their brands by building a world on the terrains of their choice with completely custom VR vehicles, and they will be able to promote by reaching wider audiences.
In addition, MetagamZ says that publishers who already own games can transfer these games to their own metaverse spaces. Regardless of whether these games are two- or three-dimensional, publishers will be able to present their own games to players thanks to MetagamZ.
In addition, game publishers will be able to generate income thanks to the services offered by this VR world they have created. Such as paid or free play, NFT shop, advertising and game revenues and VR game events…
In these metaverse-focused VR games to be created, players will be able to benefit from economic activities such as land buying and selling and renting, NFT trading in other similar games, as well as advantages such as play and win.
METAG Token, with a maximum supply of 10 billion, will play a leading role in any commercial or other activity to be carried out on the platform.
Partnerships with a new project that will come to the market can give us an idea about the future of that project. Of course, who and the number of partners of the project are also important. We see that the MetagamZ project also has many partners.
Finally, although it is not investment advice, I suggest you write down the name of this project because I think we will hear it more often. Comprehensive projects that try to gather many such projects under the same roof are either very successful or turn into a garbage dump where poor quality projects come together. It is not known what time will show, but at least it can make a lot of noise when it first comes to the market. Also, it can be said that the tokens given in private sales and the tokens to be distributed to the team have a long lock-in period, which is obviously a promising situation for this project.
It is not investment advice.
Play To Earn With GameUp
Recently, quite a lot of game projects have been released on the market. Many of these projects were game projects that combined NFT and metaverse. A project that has been released recently can be said to be a project that does not focus on such issues, can be much simpler to understand and will not tire people.
This project can be an ideal game project for people who do not want to deal with complex game structures and want to earn money by playing games from their mobile funds during breaks. In addition, users will have the chance to earn money by playing the games they have played before. They will have a chance to earn money from the games they already play for fun.
Today, I will talk about a game project that will be built on a simpler but stable system compared to the comprehensive projects I mentioned before. In fact, this project is a game ecosystem that aims to integrate certain games that have already proven themselves in the market into the blockchain, rather than building a play-to-win game from scratch.
Yes, the project I will examine in detail is the GameUp (GMU) project, which held its public pre-sale event last week. This project plans to enable users who play simple but popular games such as Candy Crush Saga, which will be transferred to the blockchain via the API and reward system, to convert the rewards they earn here into GMU tokens. In addition, the GMU token can be used to buy both NFT and items from different games. Additional income will be generated from GMU tokens staked on the platform.
Within the scope of the GameUp project, there will also be an NFT market for trading and rallies. In addition, peer-to-peer rewards can be exchanged with other users.
In addition, a social platform will be included in the scope of the project so that the players can communicate among themselves. The GMU token, which is planned to be both Solana and Polygon and BSC-based, will likely be BSC-based. I couldn't find any clear information on this.
The total supply of the GMU token will be 500 million.
**Project team**
Anime images are available instead of actual photos of the project team. In addition, there is no detailed information about the team. It is mentioned that the team consisting of 6 people has a total of 60 years of experience in the game world.
**My Word**
My personal comment about the project will be that it looks clean in terms of structure, that is, not complicated, but looks plain and not very difficult to operate. The whitepaper of the project is also simple, consisting of 10 pages. The fact that the games they intend to tokenize are also simple games, and that they are at a level that can be considered popular in the world may be promising for the GameUp project. So, people can play simple games like Candy Crush on their mobile phones just to pass the time. While doing this, they will not say no to making money in an uncomplicated structure. However, the game industry in the world is now more comprehensive and consists of quality games that will satisfy both the eye and the brain. I mean, the GameUp project will be a project that will appeal to a certain audience. Also, when we start talking about metaverse games and web3 technology, it seems to me that projects like GameUp will have a maximum lifespan of 5 years. You make the decision by taking all these into account and doing your own research.
It is not investment advice.
Bstarter Pre-Sale Platform
Although the crypto market has been on the decline recently, new projects continue to appear on the market. Pre-sale organizations can be said to be very attractive for investors, as the opportunity to make the most profit in this market is possible with tokens purchased at low prices from pre-sales.
Recently, new pre-sale platforms are coming to the market almost every week. Almost all of these platforms are decentralized platforms. When we examine the structure of the projects, we can see that each offers different advantages to the investors.
Each investor can trade on these pre-sale platforms by finding the one that suits his/her own budget and investment plans.
Today I'm going to talk to you about Bstarter, a decentralized pre-sale platform that was recently released.
Bstarter is a launch pad project that is built solely for BSC-based projects to raise funds before they go to market, and plans to offer both various advantages and insurance assurance to investors who will participate in the pre-sales organized by the platform.
Beneficial services will be offered to loyal members who will use the Bstarter platform. For example, long-term investors who stake the platform's own token will have similar pre-sale rights as investors who stake high amounts short-term, even if the stake is low.
Another innovation that the Bstarter launch platform will bring to the pre-sale sector is that it will insure the investments of people who invest in the projects pre-sale on the platform against the possibility of these projects failing. That is, if the projects supported by BSTAR fail, investors will not lose their resources. Since this will be an application that eliminates the risks of pre-sales, it can give BSTAR a great advantage in this market.
The Bstarter platform will not only provide services for investors who will participate in the pre-sale, but also support project developers in security audits, token engineering and branding with web3 and social media.
BSTAR, the own token of the Bstarter platform, is a BSC-based token. BSTAR has a maximum supply of 300 million. 25% of the BSTAR supply will be reserved for pre-sales. 60% of the funds to be obtained from these pre-sales will be spent on advertising and marketing, while the remaining 40% will be reserved for liquidity.
The distribution rates of the BSTAR Token within the scope of the project will be as follows
75 million tokens (25%) Pre-sale
45 million tokens (159% Team members)
39 million tokens (13%) Staking revenues
36 million tokens (12%) Reserves
30 million tokens (10%) Marketing
30 million tokens (10%) Ecosystem
21 million tokens (7%) Partners
15 million tokens (5%) Advisors
9 million tokens (3%) Airdrops
When we look at the roadmap of Bstarter, a very organized and planned roadmap catches our eye. The last quarter of 2021 is reserved for concept creation and airdrop organization. In short, we can say that in the first quarter of 2022, they are actively considering completing the necessary work for pre-sales organizations.
Finally, I would like to end my article by mentioning the partners of the Bstarter platform. Among the partners of the platform are DaoStarter and DFISTARTER, as well as organizations such as Investing In Decetralized World, Anonymo, Blockchain App Factory, CoinHub.
This article was written to introduce the features of the mentioned project. It is definitely not an investment advice.
STRT Button Seed Platform
Today, I will talk about the STRT Button project in detail, which is a decentralized seeding platform that plans to provide comprehensive security and technical services to the projects that will be released, and will be pre-sale soon.
There are many seeding, that is, pre-sales platforms, available in the market. The difference of STRT Button platform from others is that they will provide technical support on smart contracts for the projects it will organize pre-sale, as well as that all these details will be shared with investors in a transparent way, as it imposes KYC obligation on both security services and developers.
One of the important points about this platform is that the pre-sale organizations of STRT token stakers will be able to participate not only in the public sale round, but also in the private sale round. Token prices in private sale rounds can be much cheaper than in public sale rounds.
The STRT platform states that new projects that will come to the market may pose risks in two main areas for investors. Defining one of these risks as the share allocated to the developer team, STRT Button defines the other as the termination of the project by taking the liquidity obtained from the token sale. At this point, the platform, stating that they will step in, states that both the lock-in times of the tokens and the unlocking plans of the liquidity obtained from the token sale will be shared with the investors in a transparent manner, thus establishing a tight trust between the developers and the investors. That is, the liquidity that the projects collect from the pre-sale will be locked for a certain period of time.
The control will still be in the hands of the platform, as STRT Button will offer developers full technical support on smart contracts. STRT Button, which currently offers only Binance Smart Chain-based smart contract support, states that it will offer comprehensive technical support for smart contracts on Avalanche, , Polygon, Fantom, Solana and Ethereum networks in the future. At the same time, it is emphasized that the security tests of the projects to be put up for pre-sale will also be carried out.
STRT Button says that projects that pre-sell on the platform will receive a 2% to 5% share of the token sale and will airdrop these shares to investors who stake STRT tokens on the platform. In addition, the services to be provided to the project developers will also be charged over the STRT token, and the collected liquidity will be used to stabilize the market price of STRT. In addition, it is underlined that the funds collected by the projects will be charged between 2% and 5% when the unlocking dates come, and these funds will be spent to support the launch of quality projects.
STRT token will be at the forefront in any work to be done regarding the pre-sales to be held on the platform. Developers who want to pre-sale on STRT Button will purchase STRT tokens directly from the market and pay the organization fee. Likewise, investors will be entitled to participate in the pre-sales by locking the STRT token for a few months. Those who break the stake lock prematurely will have to suffer a certain amount of cutbacks. The fact that the STRT token will be used by both developers and investors may have positive results in terms of market value.

Let me point out that STRT Button is a project approved by Audit Rate Tech and it is still being audited by Certik.
Finally, I would like to express my opinion about the project. First of all, there are quite a number of seeding, initiation platforms on the market. Many of them have a decentralized structure. In fact, the projects that will be held for pre-sale are decided by the community votes of these platforms. Finding reliable ones among these platforms and those who will launch successful projects is the main issue.
STRT Button seems to be one step ahead, at least in terms of reliability and security. It is also an important factor that the liquidity will be kept under control by requesting KYC from the developers and providing smart contract support. When we look at the structure of the project and the ecosystem it wants to establish, we can see that it will do a little more than other decentralized pre-sale platforms. However, the pre-sale market has been a highly competitive one and is likely to get even hotter in the future. However, considering its partners, we can say that it can have a place in the market. I think it is a project worth following. It is also a big plus that it will provide technical infrastructure support for more than one blockchain.
It is not investment advice.
Pirate X Pirate, A Pirate Themed Game NFT, Metaverse and Play to Earn
Pirate X Pirate (PXP), which is a pirate-themed game project that acts with the logic of play and win, both by trading and renting the purchased lands through NFT elements, and currently pre-sales are organized in two different launch panels. ) project. So, this game is a comprehensive game that combines metaverse, NFT and play and win format.
The owner of the project is Siams Board Games, one of the most famous game studios in Thailand. There is a computer game with marvel characters on the company's website. It is obvious that there is a company big enough to use its characters by paying royalties to Marvel.
When we examine the whitepaper of the project, we see that a very comprehensive and detailed game has been created. In the game, especially the ships, the captain and the crew will be in NFT format, and the lands on the islands will also be in NFT format. The project's own token, PxP token, will have a structure where the gold to be earned in the game can be converted. The token of the project and the NFTs in the game will be based on BSC. This token will be staked on the platform in the later stages and will provide earnings.
The game, which will have a 3D feature, will have a mobile version compatible with iOS and Android, as well as PC and Mac versions.
As this game is still under development, a demo of the game is currently available on the project's website.
First of all, a ship, a captain and 2 crews will be needed to get a win by starting the game. According to the characteristics of the ship, captain and crew you own (these features can be developed in-game), you can earn by doing various missions where the duration and rewards will change. It is stated that there will be tasks that can be done in different times between 6 hours and 24 hours. From what I understand, the better the ship and personnel owned, the shorter the tenure will be. In addition, it is stated that extra bonus rewards can be earned from missions, and the characteristics of the crew other than the captain will be decisive for this. In addition to the mission revenues obtained in the game, you can also earn money by fighting other pirates.
In addition, thanks to the structures to be built on the lands on the islands, some parts to be used in ship production will be produced. Since these lands can be rented, the landlord does not necessarily have to produce. The person who leases the land will also be able to produce.
However, users who want to take part in the game but can't afford to buy NFT will be able to rent ships and crews owned by other users. According to the agreement to be made between the lessors and the NFT owners, the rewards from the missions can be shared. With the guild systems created, players will support each other and a scholarship system will be available for those in need to start the game without investment.
The ships to be used in the game will also have different structural features. Keels, sails etc. can be determined in a better quality way. That is, the ships will not be made of single-piece NFTs, but rather multi-piece structures. In addition, special ships such as the Flying Dutchman will also be available in your NFT ship collection. With it, there will be a marketplace where all NFTs in the game can be traded.
In the information in Whitepapper, it is stated that at the launch of the game, a ship will cost about 150 dollars, a captain 60 dollars and a crew 30 dollars.
Let me point out that the social media accounts of the project also attracted a lot of attention. It has managed to reach a follower base of over 30 thousand on Twitter, Telegram and Discord platforms.
Fun Questions and Answers
Let's do something fun today. @Jelena inspired me when writing this post. I can inspire several other people. I will answer the questions in an article where fantastic questions are randomly. I have to choose 10 questions with 93 problems.
The figures I choose: 1, 7, 19, 30, 49, 59, 61, 69, 79, 90.
**Do you prefer a marriage without love or a genderless marriage?**
This question is a bit odd, because there is no love if there is no sexuality in a marriage. Because if this doesn't have sexuality, the name would be friendship. So my answer is on. A marriage without loveless. Paradoks :)
**Do you prefer to make love to someone in the nightclub or do you prefer to make love to someone on the funeral?**
I think it is very stereotype to make love in the nightclub. But it can be very excited to make love on a funeral :)
**Do you prefer to pull your hair or spank your ass?**
Even reading this question has excited me :) It is actually more fun to do both at the same time. Pulling her hair with my other hand while spanking your ass. Ok, I have to answer this question. Smack.
**Do you prefer kinky sex or romantic sex?**
May be in both fantasies. Sometimes Kinky fantasies can be tried to color the relationship. But overall my preference becomes romantic sex.
**Love you prefer to follow your heart or your head when you take important decisions about your life?**
It is not difficult for me to answer this question. I'm not a senseless person but my love is to commission my logic when I will make important decisions about my life. I'm reviewing all possible results and trying to make the best decision.
**Would you rather not wear lingerie again or wear more than a sock?**
I haven't used a semester underwear. There is no problem with that. However, I want to wear socks because my feet are very cold.
**Would you rather see your own future or see others to see the future?**
I think no one should see your own future. This can lead to a kind of paranoia. It will be less risky to see the future of others.
**Do you prefer to make love in the rear of the elevator or taxi?**
I think the love in the car won't be very comfortable. Moreover, the people may notice what is in the car. I have never done that. However, it is exciting to make love in the elevator. I know to do that. When we get out of the elevator with my girlfriend, I still remember the confused face of the person waiting for a while. She was trying to figure out what's going on.
**Do you prefer sex every day of the week or only once a month?**
It can be boring to have sex every day. This may result in the disappearance of the Sex charm. So I'd rather have sex once a month. At least i would accumulate the passion of a terrific petting.
**Would you rather have sex in a restaurant in the bathroom or aircraft bath?**
Definitely the plane. I read that the alcohol received over 15 thousand feet has an aphrodisiac effect. This is among my fantasies that I want to do.
I sincerely tried to answer all the questions. It was a fun article for me.
I'm putting the link to which the questions are for those who want to try.

What do you think is the meaning of Ubuntu?
He had hidden all his hopes in coincidences, he knew that there was no predetermined life and one always hoped.
I wish we had enough trouble to talk about the heroes of the novel from morning to night.
Instead of waiting for someone to make our world better, it's best to bury our heads in books and not be grateful to anyone.
Of course, there are some disadvantages of reading books. When you finish reading the book, you have to go back to real life and continue living.
Everyone has a story to tell, but no one has the strength to tell.
I wish life were like books where we take a break because we don't want it to end.
Sometimes I want to put myself on the same shelf with the books and stand there so that no one can see them.
Nothing happened again today, and I miss everything that wasn't there.
An anthropologist who goes to the African Continent to work, one day wants to play a game with small children who are members of a tribe. No matter where you are in the world, it is very difficult to hear children say no to a game. The African children immediately accepted the anthropologist's offer of play.
The anthropologist explained the simple rules of the game. He told the children to run a race up to the tree standing a little ahead of them and the winner of the race would receive the fruits standing under that tree as a reward.
After he gave the command to start the race, something happened that astonished the anthropologist. All the children started to run to the place where the tree was, holding hands. Of course, the children who completed the race together ate the fruits together.
The anthropologist could not hide his surprise and asked them why they behaved this way. The children mentioned a tradition called Ubuntu as the reason for their movement together. Ubuntu was a way of thinking that meant to be us we have to be. One of the children said that the winner of the race cannot eat those fruits while the others are hungry.
Ubuntu became the meaning of life for me as I learned its meaning. When I see someone who is fond of books, I see them as my dear friend who walks the same path as me.
With love...
Queen of the Desert
I would like to review the movie Queen of the Desert, which was screened in Turkey with its new version in 2016, starring Werner Herzog in the director and screenwriter's chair and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman in the lead role.
The Queen of the Desert, in which the mainstream cinema language is used, is a movie that received bad reviews by many, even though it gives us the atmosphere of the 1900s with its music, color tone and image frames.
So why?
Is it because he describes Getrude Bell, the beautiful and innocent girl who found herself in the desert after Cadogan's love, as Herzog recounts, so shallowly and almost in praise, or because it evokes a sense of incompleteness?
I don't know what other critics were thinking, but to me, Herzog didn't quite convey what needed to be said.
Especially if it's a biopic...
If we cut the events that shape the character and make his name exist, can this movie be a biography movie?
If we say it's a drama, no it's not that either. Because, in its simplest definition, a drama tells us the best of a character, the worst of them, and everything stuck in between. And he tells all these in a fiction that is closest to the truth. This movie is not a drama movie.
The plot of the movie is actually very simple. Getrude Bell, an Oxford graduate, feels trapped at home. Convincing his family, Bell succeeds in being appointed to Tehran as an embassy officer. There she falls in love with the embassy secretary, Henry Cadogan, she. However, she cannot marry this man as she does not have the approval of her family. After a while, he receives the news of Cadogan's death. She chooses to close her heart completely, she. She becomes a traveler by hitting herself in the desert with her curiosity.
She gets the chance to meet Lawrence of Arabia. A man named Major Dick steals his heart, which he kept closed for a long time.
At the end of the film, the words in which the Bedouins praised Getrude are echoed on the screen. However, nothing happens throughout the movie to deserve these accolades.
Thanks to this film, we can say that it is not always the right method to examine a film from a cinematographic point of view.
The real life story of Getrude Bell is completely different. In the past, I watched a history program about his life. It was said that Bell was the person who drew the map of the Middle East after the First World War.
In addition, in this program, it was mentioned that Getrude Bell told all her activities in the letters she wrote to her family and friends, and that this was known to the whole world. However, in this program, it was mentioned that Bell knew 7 languages, traveled all over Mesopotamia, called Lawrence his spiritual son, and persuaded the Arabs to fight against the Ottomans by provoking them.
It was said that it was also among the known facts that he died by taking an overdose of drugs when the major he fell in love with died in the war. Bell was a historical figure, and if you're going to describe him in a movie, you have to at least stick to some historical facts.
While it is known by the whole world that Bell is a spy in real life and his actions are known to the whole world, we come across an incomprehensible character and an incomprehensible story in Herzog's film. This unfortunately justifies all the negative reviews the movie received.
It turns out I was a dream
Ours is a world where it is impossible to understand women. The world of men…
I have a girlfriend that I've been seeing for about two years. I can't exactly say we have a relationship with her, but I can't say we don't have a relationship either.
We started talking to her over the phone two years ago. We were in close contact with her almost every day during these two years. We wrote good morning messages to each other every morning and shared what we did during the day. This created a bond between us. We shared with each other how and where we spent most of the day through messages. We also made long phone calls during the day and at night. We read the poems of our favorite poets to each other. We dreamed of our future travels. Summer vacation in Cuba, where we will go first by train and then by ship... We even dreamed of a utopian life together, which we knew would not be lived. Living on a small island with a population that is not overcrowded and where we can make a living with the products we grow...
Every night before going to bed, we sent each other video clips of our chosen love songs. It had become our unwavering tradition. I even gave her a special nickname. my babylamb…
What didn't happen between her and me was putting our love into words and meeting our hands. What we lived was a love that was not registered with words. The songs and poems sang words of love that we could not say. We even made our reproaches over the songs. We no longer continue this tradition. Now, we don't say good morning to each other every morning. I must admit that we don't see each other as often as before. However, we still haven't been completely disconnected from each other.
**Actually, I should tell you this love story from the very beginning.**
It was many years ago that we met her. Maybe it's been more than 30 years since we've known each other. When we were kids, our houses were next to each other. I can say that our families were close friends. We were children back then, and we had no more than childish feelings for each other. Except for the games we played together, we didn't have much to share.
Two years ago, when they returned to our city for a holiday visit to their close relatives from the city they moved to, they stopped by us and we had the opportunity to meet again. That's when it all started for us.
I guess a little storm broke out inside her, just like the little storm that broke inside me at that first moment when our eyes met. A pair of brown eyes and the same sweet smile on her lips, looking more beautiful than I remember.
From that day on, we became book friends. We agreed to chat about books by reading the same books together. I offered this to her during the conversation that developed between us on that holiday day, when I learned that she liked to read books. We read many good books together. She was in a different city and I was in a different city. We had a wonderful adventure with her, accompanied by books, songs, poems and dreams. Some nights I even sang love songs to her on the phone with my guitar. If I had seen her in those moments, I could have sworn she was flying above the clouds.
When I told her that I wanted to go to the city where she lived at the time and meet her, she refused. She understood that I wanted this so that our hands would meet and the words of love would spill out. She was timid and indecisive. At the time, I didn't understand why she didn't want it when we had such a special bond. After some time, the veil of secrecy was lifted.
In fact, there is no end to this love story. Maybe a lot has happened. Too many lies have been told. Too many lies to make me lose my trust in her...
I realized that I was the love she had in his dream world. However, she also had a real life. She couldn't give up on her real life or her dream me.
For me, the roads of the dreamland we created with her are covered with snow, and the world we dreamed of with her entered the ice age. It takes a little miracle for the snow on those roads to melt.
We still see each other, but nothing is the same and I don't think it will. Moreover, we are both guests of the same city at the moment.
God bless our end.
Stay love friends...
Last Day Surprise on the Island
Hello everyone. I hope you are all well and had a happy weekend. Unfortunately, the weekend break did not end well for me. I said goodbye painfully to Cunda Island, where I came for two days.
As it was my last day on the island, I got up early from my warm bed, ignoring the cold of the morning. The sun was just rising when I woke up. Opening the window of my attic room, I bravely welcomed the day, ignoring the cold weather. Since the first rays of the sun were too weak to disturb my eyes, I watched the sunrise with all its nakedness.
I lay in my bed for a while as it was very early. I don't remember how long I just lay there and stared blankly at the ceiling. Why then, I got up, got dressed, and after packing a few items in my backpack, I went down to the breakfast room, taking the bag with my laptop in it.
The lady who runs the hostel was already up and singing a 90's pop song in the kitchen, preparing her simple but elegant breakfast to be eaten in the simple but elegant breakfast room of the hostel. It was as if that song was telling the story of this island, which was sad like a lonely child abandoned in these cold days of winter.
**The lyrics of the song were:**
"I can't leave, I hug dreams
I can't leave, I make love with your longing"
The owner of the hostel was a fair-haired and elegant lady in her early 50s. **If She had lived in any city in Europe 500 years ago, they would probably have given her the title "Lady" simply because of her grace.** The title he would receive in the eastern lands would be "Sultan". His name was Rehyan. “Lady Reyhan” or “Reyhan Sultan.”
We had a delicious island breakfast with Lady Reyhan. As I thought it would be rude to refuse my Lady's offer of coffee after breakfast, I accepted and we went to the entrance hall where the stove was located. While she was slowly cooking our coffee in the coffee pot she placed on the stove, I glanced at the magazines on the coffee table in front of me.
After drinking my morning coffee, I was planning to leave the hostel by saying goodbye to its owner, to spend the rest of the day touring the island, to take the last boat in the evening to Ayvalık, and from there to my village by bus.
After I finished my coffee, I wanted to do my hospitable landlady a little gentlemanly by filling the empty wood bucket by the stove with wood from the wood store in the backyard of the hostel. The decision I made at that very moment caused my vacation to end badly. I took the empty bucket and went to the warehouse in the backyard. When I made a move to lift the bucket I had filled with wood, I felt a severe pain in the left side of my back.
Yes, you got it right. I hurt my back. Actually, there is nothing wrong with my spine. A week or so ago, I already had some pain in my lower back due to a cold. As long as I kept my back warm, this pain did not cause me any problems, but it did not go away completely. As I bent down to pick up the wood bucket, the muscles in my lower back spasm. This was a bad surprise for me.
My plan to tour the island for the rest of the day fell through. Instead, after resting for a while in front of the stove in the hostel, I took a taxi to the pier to catch the first ferry in the afternoon. Later, after another painful bus journey, I reached my village. I'm at home, in the room heated by the stove, with my lower back pain, which is slightly relieved...
**Stay with love and pain free…**
The best time on the island
A life that has the potential to win an award in the short film category is mine. It would have been very boring if it was long film category. That's why I'm going to make do with a short film.
I am far away from the sad noise of the city. I came to Cunda Island one day ago. The calmness of nature gives people a peaceful enthusiasm.
I settled in a small hostel on the island. The radiance of all the colors of nature is reflected in the window of my room, which is located in the attic of the hostel. My room has a single bed, a faded wooden table at the head of the bed, a sea view hanging on the wall.
I woke up this morning to the joyful bird sounds. I opened the curtains of my window, allowing the morning sun to penetrate my whole body. Actually, I didn't come here to vacation. At least I'm not planning a classic vacation. For me, vacation means free hours where I can go for nature walks and write by myself. That's why I brought my laptop with me when I came here.
Last night, I stopped by the market by the island pier and bought some apples and tangerines. According to my mom, my favorite fruit as a kid was apple. I don't care anymore which fruit I like more. I guess I bought the tangerine just because of the smell because I wasn't sure if I wanted to eat it or not. I bought them by dreaming of putting tangerine peels on the small wood stove in my hostel. I love the delicious aroma of tangerine peels burning on the stove.
After shopping for fruit, I walked the deserted and wet roads of the island on the way back to the hostel. The coolness of the rain that had fallen a few hours ago was dominant on the streets of the island, which was lonely in winter. It's actually the most beautiful time on the island.
When I arrived at the hostel, I noticed that the wood burning stove was trying to heat the living room with all its might. I told the hostel owner that I wanted to put the tangerine peels on the stove. My gracious and pleasant host, who welcomed my request, brought a plate from the kitchen. On the one hand, we ate tangerines and on the other hand, we chatted with the wonderful smell of tangerine peels burning on the stove. In fact, this elegant lady offered me tea later in the night.
That night, before I went to sleep, I watched the moonlight dancing on the dark blue of the sea from the window of my room. The moon danced for hours on the sea, ignoring the frightening darkness of the night. All the lights on the island were almost gone. Only the street lamps and the quayside lamps were on.
I thought to myself that I was exactly where I wanted to be. It was such a deep silence that I needed. A quiet conversation was more than enough, accompanied by the crackling of the burning woods and the smell of home tangerines only at certain times of the day. Other than that, there must have been words waiting to be typed inside me, my dreams, and my laptop.
That's all.
The Woman Who Wants to Become a Plant
“The Vegetarian” is a novel about the transformation of a woman named Yonghe into a plant. A woman's use of her rights other than just being a wife, a mother or a child is not accepted by the society and is exposed to violence.
The book consists of 3 parts:
Vegetarian, Mongolian Stain and Flame Tree. The fact that the stories are told not by the main character but by those around her actually allows us to better realize Yonghe's extraordinary and fragile transformation. As soon as you start reading the story of Yonghe, who stopped eating meat after being influenced by a dream she had, it becomes clear that it is not an ordinary vegetarian story.
First Chapter of the Book: Vegetarian
This episode is narrated by Yonghe's husband. Yonghe is an undesirable, unrespected wife who only does the housework for her husband. She is actually making a revolution by choosing vegetarianism. Han Kang, the South Korean-born author of the book, criticizes the institution of marriage dominated by sexually oppressive men. Throughout the story, the only place Yonghe expresses herself is in his dreams. It's as if he wants us to understand her only by her body language and revealing his nakedness.
Part Two of the Book: The Mongolian Stain
This stain that occurs on the butts of newborns is mostly seen in South and Southeast Asian peoples, North and Central Asian Turks, but it disappears on its own within a few years. This birthmark, which has not been erased over the years and which Yonghe still carries on her butt, is one of the strong symbols in the novel. Considering its racial and psychological impact, this stain appears in the novel as a symbol that refers to both vegetal connotations with its resemblance to a flower and the racial factors of people who are exposed to violence. In the novel, Yorghe's mother force-feeding her and her father's insulting and violence make us think that she has turned into a little baby. Although the feelings that her older sister's husband have for Yorghe do not evoke sexuality, even though it seems like an artistic work reminiscent of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings and integrating nature and woman, we observe that Yonghe is still subjected to patriarchal pressure.
Chapter Three of the Book: The Flame Tree
The narrator of this episode is Yonghe's older sister Inhe. Yonghe chooses to be a plant as a reaction against human barbarism. The fact that this woman, who stopped wearing a bra and almost performed photosynthesis by holding her bare breasts to the sunlight, wanted to take root in the ground like a tree and not be fed, but only watered, is described as a mental illness by her environment and causes her to be admitted to a mental hospital. Although Yonghe's effort to turn into a plant throughout the story is the reason he wants to escape human cruelty, this is perceived as insanity by society.
Conclusion
Completing the metamorphosis of a woman with three stories, Hang Kang reveals the difficulties faced by a woman who makes her own choices and breaks taboos with the character she creates, and we witness a passive existential conflict in the face of these overwhelming authorities.
Just one of the disturbing stories we come across in the real world is The Vegetarian. It gives people the chance to question what choices life brings about happiness. He reminds that those who defend their elections to the end can be put in a mental hospital or a prison.
I recommend reading this novel.
With love…
The Village life of a city dweller
I woke up later than usual today. More precisely, my mother woke me up late because she prepared breakfast a little late. Normally we have breakfast with my mother at 09:00 in the morning. However, we had our breakfast at 11:00 today. I guess she didn't hear the clock's alarm. I don't set an alarm just because my mom wakes me up anyway.
Our favorite breakfast these days is fresh cheese fries. We fry cheese at least 3-4 times a week. **One of the advantages of living in the village is that such fresh products are easy to access.**
After breakfast, we enjoyed tea with my mother in the garden. Fortunately, the weather has softened in the last two days. Now we can sit in the garden and enjoy the sun rays at certain times of the day.
My mom has been talking for a few days now that the roses in the garden need to be pruned. Normally my father would do this job. I guess it's up to me to prune the rose bushes now. There are 5 rose saplings in the garden of our house. All of them are different color. We have orange, yellow, red, white and pink roses. My mother likes to grow roses in the garden. About ten years ago on Mother's Day, I gave her a red rose bush because I knew she loved roses. I pruned the rose sapling I gave to my mother 10 years ago so that it will bloom better today with my own hands. According to my mother, the roses had to be pruned as soon as it was time to open their petals. While I was trying to prune the rose seedlings, I could not prevent the needle-like rose thorns from sinking into my hands. Although I was very careful, I missed a few rose thorns and realized how painful even a beautiful flower like a rose can be.
There is a proverb in our culture: "**He who loves a rose tolerates its thorns.**"
I think you understand what this word means. It is necessary to accept the annoying aspects of beautiful things.
After the pruning of the rose seedlings was finished, I went shopping with my mother to the market. A vegetable market is held on Thursdays at the northwest end of our village. Since we have a big village, it has its own market. The population of our village is close to 2500.
Yes, my mother and I meeting our weekly vegetable needs from the village market. We bought leeks, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots and radishes as vegetables. Apples and bananas were also fruits we bought. My mother promised to cook a traditional Turkish dish called "**cabbage wrap**". It is one of my favorite dishes. However, the preparation of this dish is quite laborious. After the cabbage is boiled, it is cut into small pieces. Then, a mixture prepared with rice and various spices is put into small pieces of cabbage cut into pieces and wrapped. At least 50 small cabbage rolls are being prepared. The wrapping process should be done carefully, otherwise it will open and the food will not be as it should be.
In this market, besides vegetables, basic foods such as cheese, olives and eggs are also sold. In fact, we can call it a kind of food products market. We also bought a dozen eggs.
Yes, that's how I spent today. As someone who has lived in the big city for many years, I am trying to get used to the village life. Soon I can start raising chickens by setting up a coop in the garden.
Greetings to all of you love...
The Most Handsome Uncle
I mentioned that my father passed away a few days ago. Today, I took my uncle to the hospital with my cousin so that he can get a disability report. Before my father died, he was in charge of his care.
Actually, I had two uncles. The other passed away 14 years ago. **Both of my uncles are autistic.** My deceased uncle's name was Mehmet. He was not able to speak as he was a more advanced autistic, but he was able to express his wishes somehow. My uncle, whom I took to the hospital today, can speak, but has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child. It was both very nice and very strange to communicate with him again after many years. I forgot he was like a child. Frankly, the fact that he is 50, has white hair, is 1 meter 60 centimeters tall and weighs 100 kilograms overshadows his childish side. However, **his childlike naivete** is revealed when she starts to have a little chat with him. When I told him, "**He is the most handsome of uncles**", big smiles formed on his face :)
The name of my uncle who is still alive is Hasan. The reason why I took him to the hospital was to prove that he deserved his disability pension by being examined by the health board. Due to the fact that some doctors in the health board are on leave, the examination work is left for the week.
When we went to his house to take my uncle Hasan to the hospital with my cousin, even though it was 13:00, he was still asleep. He had to come with us without breakfast in order not to waste the time of the examination appointment. Despite being hungry, like a good boy, he sat in the back seat and agreed to our promise to eat after the examination.
After he got out of the hospital, we took him to the best soup restaurant in town. We ordered lentil soup for him as it is his favorite soup. After we threw in lots of lemons and spices, we didn't mind **him making noise like a little kid and eating his bread dipped in soup.** Of course, we did not neglect to drink tea together after drinking the soup.
My cousin left me alone with my uncle because he had business in town, and we chatted over our tea in the garden of a coffee shop. Today we had the opportunity to enjoy the sun as the town was not too cold. Is there anything as beautiful as a sunny winter day?
During our conversation, Uncle Hasan talked about my uncle Mehmet, who died years ago and could not speak because of his advanced autism. By the way, our friends who know our family closely say that I look like my uncle Mehmet. In the past, I had noticed that my eyes and face shape were similar to my uncle Mehmet's. My uncle Mehmet could not speak and he had the intelligence of a 3-year-old child, but when we went to visit their house, he understood that my sister and I were his brother's children. Even though he couldn't speak, he was showing it somehow. I remember when he was asked who we were, **he looked at my father with a smile and made sounds that were both strange and cheerful.**
Both my uncles are very nice people. Since I live in a city far from here, I couldn't spend much time with them. Now that I'm here, I hope to spend more time with Uncle Hasan.
I'm taking him to the hospital again next week anyway, and he'll probably want to have another lentil soup.
**Wishing the whole world to raise awareness of autism stay with love.**
Windshield Wipers of My 90 Model Car
Today has been a difficult day for me. Again, I don't want to write an article complaining about the snow and cold, but the weather is getting colder than the previous day. Today, I had the chance to test this cold on the road. This adventure has been both funny and painful for me in this respect.
I woke up early in the morning with my mother calling. She prepared me a nice breakfast. Fried cheese, boiled eggs, spicy raw olive oil, toast and of course tea.
Today I got up earlier than usual because I had to go to the city center, which is about 90 kilometers from our village. After my father's death, I was told by the village headman that I had to go to an institution in the city so that his pension would be tied to my mother. Not only the headman, but also people who did similar paperwork after losing their relatives gave the same advice.
After breakfast, I set off for the city in my father's 1990 Renault Broadway car. Of course, it took me a while to start the car in cold weather. I even had to idle the engine for a while to warm it up. These were not big problems. The main problem with the car was the lack of winter tires. Since the weather was so cold, there was a risk of hidden ice on the road and I was going to set off in a 1990 model car on summer tires. This was not a huge risk actually because the road I was going to drive was a very active road and the risk of icing was not very high since I was going to make this trip during the day.
I realized shortly after I set off that my real problem was not the hidden icing on the road. My main problem was that the windshield wiper blades of the car were worn out. Because the road was wet, every vehicle passing by was splashing dirty water on the windshield of my car. As soon as I used my car's windshield wipers, my vision dropped to almost zero because the wipers smudged the windshield more than it cleaned it. At that moment my speed was close to 90 kilometers per hour and I could barely see the road line. I had to pull the car over and clean the windshield with a rag. I had to do this process 5 times on the way to the city and 7 times on the way back from the city. Each time, I parked on the side of the road and wiped the windshield of my car with a cloth in the presence of cold winds, and prayed that no other car would pass me anymore.
It would be nice if the problems ended with that, but of course it didn't. Since the car was very old, the heaters were not working either. My father didn't use his car much, except in emergencies. If he needed to go to town or city for his daily work, he would prefer public transportation. His own car was a kind of emergency car for him. I guess that's why he didn't have it fixed, thinking it wouldn't need the heater. Of course, I paid the price for it by freezing. My left foot, which is near the door, got so cold that it was torture for me to press the clutch pedal.
I'll give you one more bad news. I traveled almost 200 kilometers to deliver the paperwork in a refrigerator. However, the place where the documents had to be delivered was not the institution in the city. The documents will be sent by mail to institutions in different cities in the central and northeastern regions of the country. Yes, the post office is only 4 kilometers from my house. There is a post office in a town very close to our village. However, I traveled exactly 200 kilometers.
Often the experience of other people can make our work easier. However, sometimes it can make it harder rather than easier. Yes, today was such a day.
I had to take two painkillers so I could go to sleep. This was the price of the cold I was exposed to on the road.
I wish you all a warm slepp.
Mom's Hands Are Always Warm
It looks like it will be very cold this winter. We started to see the frosty of snow that fell 3 days ago these days. The air temperature has dropped even more today, especially today. It was at least 5 degrees colder today than yesterday. Moreover, it has not even been 10 days since I came here from the Mediterranean region. I came from the Mediterranean region to the north of the Aegean region. I think the word "**north**" connotes the same thing to all people. cold. I am very much exposed to what that word connotes these days.
After the mild climate of the Mediterranean region, the cold I encountered here in the North Aegean surprised me. My body almost refuses to be this cold. The ones who rebelled against this situation the most were my toes and fingers.
Today, I went to the central part of the village, where the coffeehouses are, to discuss a family matter with my cousin. In my country, there are coffee houses in almost every village where people come together to drink tea and chat. I walked in the garden with my cousin to talk because I didn't want to sit in the coffee house with the stove burning due to the covid epidemic. Unfortunately, because the villagers were not disciplined about the pandemic measures, we had to talk in the coffee shop garden where the snow frost reigns mercilessly, instead of chatting with hot tea in front of the wood-burning stove.
Here, while I was discussing the family issue in the garden of that coffee shop with my cousin, I noticed that my fingers were numb from the cold. I tried to keep the conversation short by putting the things to be discussed as soon as possible. Afterwards, I drove myself home. The thumbs on both my hands were so frozen that I couldn't feel them. It was as if my feet had never existed. I was about to hug the burning stove in the room of the house, but as a result of my mother's warning, I gave up. Think about it, I was so frozen that I was going to hug the hot stove at the risk of getting burned.
**Oh my God! It's like we live in the Arctic Circle.**
Then something happened that allowed me to refresh my memory by reliving one of my best childhood memories. My mother took my hands in hers, which were always warm, and warmed them by rubbing them.
My mom used to do this a lot when I was a kid. This is one of my best childhood memories about my mother. Warming my cold hands with his own hands.I was a child whose mother's hands were always warm. Yes, his hands were always warm and still are.
Thanks to the cold brought by the snow that fell in our village 3 days ago, I had the chance to refresh one of the best memories of my childhood. Because of this, I was so happy that I wandered around the house with the happiness of a small child all day.
**Viva the warmth of mother's hand :)**
The Love Fire in the Snow Frost
Towards the last days of autumn, the weather turned frosty and the sadness of the snow falling on the mountains enveloped the whole city. While we were sitting opposite each other in a tea garden that hosted its guests in the hopeless weak warmth of the sun, we were talking while sipping our teas, and she was looking directly into my eyes without taking his eyes off it for a moment.
**Every word that came out of her mouth sounded like the notes of a magic song, ignoring the cold weather.** While listening to what she told, sometimes I was lost in her magnificent beauty. I couldn't decide whether her eyes, lips, hair was better. I liked her hands the most. Her thin, delicate fingers looked like **a work of art** with the red nail polish on her nails.
**Small smiles was appeared on the corners of her lips as he spoke**. She seemed to be using smiles instead of periods and commas. That has been one of my favorite aspects. I was so immersed in her beauty that the freezing cold of the first snow of winter could not keep the fire inside me from rekindling.
It was not easy at all to watch her and listen to what he had to say at the same time. I occasionally said a few words in affirmation of what she had said, so that she might not realize that I was so impressed with her.
For a moment, I dreamed that he accidentally touched my hand, for example, while reaching for the teacup. If she had touched my hand, the fire within me would envelop my whole body, and I would have remained motionless and silent. Then I was ashamed to think about it. She may have thought my face was red from the cold, but my face was red from embarrassment.
I wonder if she knew what I was going through inside me, if he heard my inner voice, would he leave the table? The prospect of her leaving terrified me. I felt the cold of the snow all over my body, and my teeth chattered briefly, shivering from the cold.
If this was truly the first footsteps of love, how could I have managed to stay so calm? I guess I managed to stay as calm as the earth because I was afraid that she would realize this and walk away. It was too early for her to understand my love. It had only been a few hours since we'd met, and I was as fascinated by her as a little boy is fascinated by a toy he sees in a toy store. However, I met it with maturity and was able to control this love and feelings that suddenly flared up inside me.
**Was it the footsteps of an impending love?**
I have so exaggerated my fear of betraying myself that I have blocked my chance to woo such a beautiful woman myself. The conversation between us turned into a business conversation after a while, especially with my efforts. In fact, I found myself talking about the world's political and economic agenda by exaggerating the subject a little more. Normally, I analyze the movies I watch and give examples from the books I read. I even read the poems of my favorite poets in order to be impressive. This time, I focused so much on hiding my feelings that I found myself talking about economics in front of this magnificent, beautiful, impressive being.
I think I unknowingly developed such a defense method out of fear of rejection because her beauty undermined my preconfidence. What did she think of me? She may have even thought that I was a white-collar workaholic and boring economy talk.
I couldn't even ask for her phone number, so as not to reveal my feelings while saying goodbye. This is probably one of the biggest surprises I've had in this life because I'm usually comfortable with women. I don't try to do anything extra to impress them. My existing socio-cultural background is usually sufficient.
I went to that tea garden a few more times in the hope of meeting her, but I could never come across her. If I could see her one more time, it would be more natural this time, at least I could pull a few old tricks to pick her up. This has been a loss story for me. I plan not to make the same mistake next time.
**Love to all…**
You Are Like Rain in the Desert
Getting to know you is like touching the raindrops that fall on the field once every ten years...
You opened your eyes, not knowing what the morning would bring you. You will reach the point where your destiny turns today. Maybe you will be tested with a big problem, which you probably raised in your head. You have already learned that anything can happen to you, good or bad. Even when the streets are chirping, a rain falls and our life does not freeze where it is? Every job and quirk of life is for us. We exist well with both the beautiful and the ugly, because every day that life brings us, we can meet a person who is the mirror of our soul. Or we have already met and we are waiting for the day when our destiny will change without knowing it.
Do not offend the people you have taken into your life and have learned to divide in half over time. Think nine times about every word that comes to your mind, because the throat is nine knuckles. Swallow eight and say one. If there is anyone around you who makes you beautiful, hug tight at the first place you see. Smile at everyone, with pain and sweetness. Do not withhold your love even from those who hurt you, because you are the widest hearted. Hold on tight to your sorrows as well as your happy memories. They brought you to this day. Know and even know your enemy well, but never be hostile.
Hold the hands of the owner of the eyes that look at you with love. Lean back to the person you decide to share your life with and let each other gain strength. One morning, the sun rises and someone whose love you cannot fit into your heart comes along. Do not worry about the height of his love for you when he rests his head on your shoulder. In every relationship, one party loves more than the other. Even if you are the one who loves the most in this relationship, do not spare a drop of your love.
Know the value of your love, that you are loved, we live for one breath.
Rains Falling on İnside Me
In the middle of my chest there is a pot flower fed by the rains falling inside me. This flower, which cannot always reach the light, resists without losing hope because it connects its roots to my heart. I feel restless, like a drop of water accumulating on the leaves of trees after the rain has stopped. The fate of this unrest that will spill out with a small touch is actually in your hands. Without your hands, it's like my body is starting to lose control. My heart moves like a little child who doesn't know what to do. Did I feel very special or was this the price of my mistakes?
The song playing in the background softens the hearts of all the losers. I also want to heal myself in the hope of reaching you. I guess it would be impossible not to be healed when even walking side by side with you could revive all the flowers that started to fade inside me. It's like the poison of your love is running through my veins. This poison, which can paralyze others, turns into an antidote because it relieves all my inner distress, and I can breathe peacefully with a smile again.
Sometimes I wish I never knew you. However, I immediately give up on this idea. Even if I am experiencing the pain of being without you right now, not knowing the warmth of your hands would hurt me more. I'm glad I loved you and I'm glad I held his hands that day I wanted you to be my lover. I could have found the courage to tell you my feelings. Loving from a distance can make a person happy up to a point. After a while, one wants to touch the one they love, one wants to smell it to the fullest.
Now here I am, without you. In the dark and cold darkness of the night, I try to touch the stars with my frozen fingers, knowing that I can't do it. Waiting for you is like stretching out my hands to touch the stars. Knowing that it will not come, but waiting without losing hope...
One day, if you return and warm my frozen fingers I have extended to the stars in your hands, at that moment, that potted flower, fed by the rains in me and longing for the light, will grow with the warmth of my heart and will be like a ladder that can take us to the stars, just like in the fairy tale of the bean vine that goes to the land of giants.
We will go with you to the land of the stars, we will climb on the potted flower and there we will tell the stars about our love.
Lucky Number
It's been two weeks or so since we came out, and I would like to point out that you guys live in a hell. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that you yourself have turned the place you live into hell. But it doesn't matter one way or the other; you have created for yourself a love framework that is your own product and you are struggling in this field.
In order to understand the subject more clearly, I need to tell you about a man with bird brain I had to go after.
Don't be too hard on me for going after him, because I did it out of necessity. We met him in front of a dealer who sold lottery tickets. This bird brain dreamed of going to university in a different city, away from his family for years. He worked really hard to make this dream come true. He succeeded, but fell in love with the first girl he met while he was still in prep class. I can say that he fell madly or deeply in love. This bird brain spent 5 years with this girl in a resentful way. During this time, he could neither go to a concert with his friends nor take part in a different social event.
This relationship, which started with the poem "Love is in the air," lost its whiteness with each passing year, as if it had been worn out by cheap bleach. Because he was very, very in love with this bird-brained girl. You also know that lovers will either be abandoned or have already been abandoned. So lovers have no escape from abandonment. This bird-brained friend I'm talking about had already been abandoned by this girl. In fact, this was not his first and last abandonment. The funny thing is, it was the same person who left him for the first and last time. In other words, this friend was such an unlucky man that he started to have a relationship with the girl who left him after a 5-year relationship, but he couldn't escape being abandoned again. An evil omen, a curse hovered over this man. However, it should be noted that this man was aware of the fact that he was going to be dumped while having a second time affair with this girl. I mean, he fell in love with this girl again, knowing that he would end up like this.
Now all this bird-brain expects is me. Unfortunately, he is experiencing another destruction after his path crosses with me! I will do the job of embellishing her dreams, even for a short time, in her miserable life, and by being in the back pocket of her trousers.
Of course, the question of who I am stuck in your mind.
I am an ordinary **lottery ticket** waiting for the night of the draw, in the pocket of any clothes or in a wallet, giving hope to a community of people who have deliberately turned their place into hell.
**Well, have we ever met before?**
I'm Teaching My Child Chess #4
Welcome to another part of the series where I explain what methods we can apply while teaching our child chess. We've actually come a long way in this series of articles. We did the part of arousing interest in children about the game and introducing the chess board and pieces. Now it's time to teach the child the arrangement of the chess pieces on the board.
Chapter 4: Placing chess pieces on the board
The first piece we will place on the chessboard will be the rook at the far end of the board. In our previous articles, when we were explaining the game of chess to the child, we said that the chessboard is the country with black and white squares in fairy tales. We can again refer to this fairy tale land while teaching the child how to place the stones on the board. We will ask the child to place the rooks on the right and leftmost squares of the board, saying that a rook should be placed on the borders of the country to protect this country. Likewise, we will place our own rooks in their places on the board.
The 2nd piece we will place on the chessboard will be the knight that should stand next to the rook. We will ask the boy to pick up the knights and ask where to place, we can ask him to find out where the knights' favorite place might be. The child will probably say that rooks are the best place for knights. If the child does not give this answer, we can direct him to place the knights close to the rook. So the knights took their place on the chessboard.
Our next stone will be the bishop. When we put the bishop on the chessboard, we can tell the child that the knights may get bored of being alone and need a friend. The child might consider putting an bishop next to the knights. If the child does not prefer bishops, we can convince him by saying that the best friends of the knights in this game are the bishops. We can encourage the child to place the bishops next to the knights.
There is only room for two pieces on the chessboard as there are rooks, knights and bishops respectively. One of these places belongs to the king and the other to the queen. Now it's time to take the king's place on the chessboard. We will ask the child to take the king in his hand and indicate the color of the stone. When the child says the color of the stone, we will give a brief explanation of this by saying that the king does not like his own colour. For example, we can tell the child that the king stood in his own color, but on a day when the sky was covered with dark clouds, the passersby did not greet him because they could not notice him, and the king was very upset at this stop and decided not to stand in his own color anymore.
After placing the king on the correct square, only one piece and one empty square will remain. We can place our last piece on the chessboard by stating that the queen's place is always next to the king.
Yes, placing the chess pieces on the board is almost finished. Only pawns of the same type remain. We can ask the child to take 8 pawns and place them in front of each piece on the board. Thus, our pieces were properly placed in their places on the chessboard.
In order for the child to learn the arrangement of the chess pieces well, they may be asked to rearrange the order of the pieces. At this point we can have a small prize competition with him, for example. We can encourage him by saying that the person who gets the chess pieces right 3 times will win a chocolate bar.
Once the child has fully learned how to place the pieces on the chessboard, the next step is to explain the rules of the game and how the pieces will move on the board. I find it more appropriate to describe this stage in another article so that my article is not too long.
I hope I have provided practical information on placing chess pieces on the board. Thank you for reading.
I greet you all with love...
I'm Teaching My Child Chess #3
Welcome, all of you, to the third article of the article series I am teaching my child chess. In this article, I will talk about what we can do to introduce chess pieces to our child.
Let's get started right away...
Part 3: Introducing the Chess Pieces
At the end of our previous article, we put the chessboard in front of us and chose the color and took our pieces in front of us. Now we can move on to the introduction of the stones. Among the chess pieces, we can start the introduction with the Horse, since the most easily recognizable piece for the child is the Horse.
First, we will tell the child that it is an animal he knows and ask him to find it. Probably the boy will pick up both horses. After asking the name of this animal to the child, it can be ensured that the horse is remembered by the child by asking the child how the horse makes a sound. In fact, a fun situation can be created by asking the child to imitate the sound of the horse. Also, the child may be asked to imitate the horse's movements. While the child is doing this, you can accompany him.
The second stone we will teach the child will be the elephant. We will say that we want to ask him a riddle. Children will immediately agree, as they love riddles. We will give the child 3 clues to solve this riddle. The first clue will be an animal living in the jungle. The child will probably answer the lion. The second clue will be an animal with huge ears. This time the child can answer rabbit. The last clue will have a long proboscis. After the last clue, the child will answer the riddle by answering the Elephant. After congratulating the child for finding the answer, we can ask the child to make an Elephant sound, just as we do when introducing the horse. However, we can still create a fun situation by making one arm look like an elephant trunk.
The next chess piece we will introduce will be the rook. We will take our own castles in our hands and show them to the child and ask him to find his own castles. After the child finds the castles, we will try to tell him about the castle. For example, we can describe an apartment-like building with very high walls. In order to understand better, we can guide him to answer the stone by asking what material the sculptures are made of. In fact, a funny situation can be created by imitating a sculpture with the child. For example, you can do a standing race like a sculpture. The first to move loses the game. At this point, we can act before the child and ensure that the child wins the game.
Our next chess piece will be the pawn. We will ask the child to find the smallest pieces on the chessboard. While the child takes the pawns, we must take our own pawns in the same way. This will reinforce the child's learning. The child is told that these small stones are pawns, and it is stated that they are small, just like babies, and the child can be asked to pretend to be a baby. If we accompany the child while he is imitating a doll, this child will like it very much. An older person pretending to be a baby can be a lot of fun for a child.
Yes, we are slowly coming to the end of the introduction of chess pieces. The two most important stones remain.
One of these two stones is the King and the other is the Queen. We will introduce the King first because even though the King is the most important piece in the game, the Queen is the most active piece in the game of chess. **Here, I think the importance of women in our lives is revealed :)**
While explaining the king to the child, he is asked to find the longest piece on the chessboard. This will not be difficult. Then we will try to explain to the child that this stone is the most important stone in the game. Let's take the lion king of the jungle as an example. We can talk about the lion being the leader in the jungle, protecting and watching over other animals. We can explain the importance of the king in the game by explaining the concept of leadership over the lion.
Yes, the last stone we have to introduce will be the queen. While describing the queen, we can talk about the fact that she is the person who gives the most support to the king and that she must be very strong to help him in the best way possible. After, mom and dad can walk like the king and queen, making the kid have fun.
One of the important points here is that when introducing the chess pieces, visual materials are not used other than the pieces. The child's imagination can develop better if the stones are introduced without showing any photos.
Before we finish introducing the chess pieces, we can play one last game with the child to consolidate the knowledge. For example, the child may be asked to raise chess pieces in turn. The imitation of the stone raised by the child can be repeated by the mother or father. Then, the child can repeat the imitation of the stones chosen by the mother or father. Thus, it can be ensured that the child reinforces what he has learned.
Yes, dear friends, in this article, I talked about the fun ways to introduce chess pieces to our child. **I hope you like my article.**
All of you stay in love...
I'm Teaching My Child Chess #2
A few days ago, I shared the first article of the series on teaching our child chess. After a short break, I had the opportunity to write the second part of this series of articles. In my first article, I talked about how to decide and buy the chess set. In this article, I will talk about introducing the chessboard to the child.
Part 2: Introducing the Chessboard
We take out the chess set we bought in its box with our child. Our child will show interest in chess pieces and will start playing with them.
In the meantime, we will begin to tell him a tale:
Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was a country called the black and white country. In this country, milk stones and chocolate stones lived. Milk stones were white, chocolate stones were black. These stones were always playing games among themselves. Before starting the game, they would shake hands, wishing each other success. In these games, sometimes chocolate stones and sometimes milk stones would win. No matter which side wins, the losing side never gets upset and congratulates the winning side and shakes their hand. Also, whichever side won, they slept together in the same place.
After telling the tale, we will begin to introduce the board by laying out the chessboard:
We can start by saying this is the black and white checkered board you see, the country I told you about in the fairy tale. We will say that there are 64 squares in total on the board and 32 of these squares are white and 32 of them are black. If our child is very young, he may not be able to remember these numbers immediately. The letters a to h and numbers 1 to 8 are listed on the bottom of the chessboard. Since these letters and numbers will be of interest to the child, they are likely to ask questions about them. While explaining to the child about this subject, we can say that every square on the chessboard has a name, and that these letters and numbers are written there so that we can learn the names of these squares easily. We can also teach the names of squares such as a2 and b4 by showing their locations on the chessboard. For young children who have not yet learned to read and write, this issue can be left for later periods. If our child can read and write, the first thing to learn is to read the letter first and then the number.
After placing our child right across from us and placing the chessboard between us, we will ask the child to raise his right hand. We will then tell him to touch the lower right corner of the chessboard with his raised right hand. If the square touched by the child is white, the chessboard is correctly placed. The process of raising the hand and touching the corner is repeated by the mother or father, and the child is provided to reinforce what he has learned by obtaining confirmation from the child that it is correct.
The game starts by leaving the color selection of the chess pieces to the child. He is asked to collect all the stones of the chosen color to his side. You will also collect your own stones for yourself. Before starting the game, we will introduce the chess pieces to the child.
Yes, our child has now learned about the chessboard. In my next article, I will talk about how to introduce chess pieces to our child.
**I hope you found my article useful. Thank you for reading.**
Stay with love…
We Changed Roles
Hello everyone again after a three-day hiatus. My followers have noticed that I haven't been able to post for a few days. I had to stay away from the virtual world due to a tiring 12-hour bus journey and some urgent work. My last articles were on the game of chess. I even started a series of articles on teaching children chess. I will continue that series of articles, but today I will tell you about a different subject. Our topic is happy death.
About 10 days ago, I told you that my father has a health problem. Two hours before my father died, I learned that he had heart failure. He actually had an anemia problem. We thought that he had a breathing problem due to the lack of blood in his body. Because he had a similar problem 2 years ago when he had stomach bleeding. However, this time he was diagnosed with heart failure and my father hid it from us. Adults can be kids sometimes. Since my sister and I live in a different city 12 hours away from our parents, we did not have the opportunity to reach the truth.
I got the news of my father's death while I was eating at home after my dental treatment. My mother was sobbing on the phone like a little child. She said she couldn't wake my father and that he was gone. My father died while he was sleeping. I was happy for my father that he died peacefully while he was sleeping. At that moment, I was not sad that my father died, but that my mother was sobbing. Imagine a 68-year-old woman sobbing like a child. It is very normal for a person to cry. Anyone can cry, no matter how old they are. However, there was a childlike purity and sincerity in my mother's crying. **That's when I realized that we had switched roles.** In any negative situation, children cry out to their parents and hope that they can find a solution in desperation. Here's my mother, like a little child, telling me that my father was gone. Parents become children after a certain age and we children become like their parents.
Besides, it fell to me to console my sister. She started to cry like a child too. Of course, it is not easy for a person to accept the death of their father or husband. I understand them very well. As for me, I have never cried. I don't think I will cry anymore. I didn't cry because I didn't approach this situation like my sister and mother. I wasn't even sad because my father died. Death is not a punishment, but a salvation. According to our belief, it is not right to shed tears after a deceased person. **Do not take this as a rigid understanding. Islam is a religion that gives flexibility to people in many issues, and relaxes people psychologically.** Of course, we certainly tolerate those who weep after their loved ones have passed away.
It can be said that my father lived a good life. My father was a person who tried to live honestly, believed in God and took care to fulfill his prayers.
Today I will tell you a little about the funeral ceremony. I would like to tell you what kind of funeral rituals are performed in our country in accordance with our religion. This may sound interesting to you.
First, the deceased is taken to the morgue. I think there is a similar application all over the world. Our hospital morgues have a section for washing the dead. According to Islamic principles, the dead should be buried cleanly. After the body of the deceased is washed by the officials, it is wrapped in white cloth and carried to the cemetery in a coffin. Funeral prayers are held near the cemetery, and then the deceased is buried. We do not bury our dead in coffins. We just wrap it in white fabric and bury it. I briefly described the ritual. Now I want to talk about my experiences at my father's burial.
The clergy of the village where my parents lived came with me to the hospital morgue in the early hours of the morning to wash my father's body. I waited in front of the door while the two attendants washed my father's body. Then one of the attendants opened the door and said that I had to pour water on my father's body one last time. I hesitated at first because I had never approached a dead body before. After gathering my courage, I entered the washing section and poured water on my father's body for the last time. After wrapping it in white cloth, we wrapped it in a blanket so that it would not be damaged while being transported, and we placed my father's dead body in the coffin together with the religious officials. We loaded the coffin in the hearse and took it to the cemetery. The people of the village came there and the funeral prayer was performed.
After the funeral prayer, the coffin had to be carried to the grave. **This is a very interesting part** because people are competing with each other because they believe that carrying a coffin brings a lot of rewards. Coffin carriers change every 5-10 seconds. In other words, while you are carrying the coffin, someone comes and takes your place. A few people are even competing to take your place. This may sound strange to you. It seemed strange to me, too, and I didn't really get into that race. I could only carry the coffin for 6-7 seconds.
When we arrived at the tomb where my father would be buried, his body was removed from the coffin. The body of the deceased must be lowered into the grave by one of his children or relatives. This is a very important ritual. So I had to enter the grave dug for my father. My cousin went into the tomb with me. Then other people gave us the dead body, and my cousin and I placed my father in the tomb. **So, I placed my father in his grave with an embrace.** I didn't have any feelings about it. I was pretty calm. I did what I had to do. After covering the grave with earth, we placed the tombstone and the funeral ceremony ended after the religious official said a few prayers. We bid farewell to my father...
May God forgive his sins and accept him into heaven.
I'm not really sorry. I was even happy that he died in his sleep. I have never cried and will never cry.
**Remember, death is salvation, not punishment.**
