Will You Add? - Turban Power in the Turkish Nation
When I was growing up, our refrigerator was never full.By the time the shopping was done, we three kids had already pilfered the bags and stripped them of any instantly edible goodies, like cookies.So, frighteningly little food made its way to the cupboard or even to the freezer.Imagine how magnificent it was when I slept over at my friend’s house, after a Little League game.Tony lived in a mansion.If you think I’m kidding, consider that his next door neighbor was the comedian Jack Benny, and next to his house wa

As technology grows at an exponential rate, cell phones are constantly being outdated and replaced with new more advanced models. In fact when you think about it there's always a new cell phone every month that you haven't heard about. So the question is, do you really need a brand new high tech cell phone? The answer is whatever you want it to be, however if you know you won't use all the features and gadgets on all the new cell phones today, then you're better off buying a used cellular phoneThere are of course things you must be aware of
My Pal Jerry messaged me the other day asking if I had any comments about the NY Times article of November 28, 2006 entitled 'Allure of Islam Signals a Shift Within Turkey' by Sabrina Tavernise.
So I read Ms. Tavernise's article at the NY Times Website and (overlooking a few strong differences I had with what she wrote, such as her citation of the useless Pew Report from earlier this year -- as if it were in any way authoritative), I thought she made an informative addition to the dialogue on 'religious attitudes' in Turkey.
A pivotal point of Ms. Tavernise's article -- that 'Turks who identify themselves by their religion has increased to 45 percent this year, from 36 percent in 1999' -- was drawn from the findings of a new 'religious attitudes' survey prepared by The Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation (T?rkiye Ekonomik ve Sosyal Et?dler Vakfı -- TESEV). The TESEV survey, entitled 'Religion, Society and Politics in the Changing Turkey' (Degisen T?rkiye'de Din Toplum ve Siyaset) had been reported in H?rriyet Gazetesi six days before Ms. Taverline's dateline -- and it contained some other interesting and revealing discoveries...
In a similar TESEV poll taken in 1999, 36 percent said they were 'Religious (Muslim) first' compared to 21 percent who said they were 'Turkish first.' In this year's poll, those declaring themselves 'Religious (Muslim) first' have increased to 45 percent -- the percentage of those in the 'Turkish first' category has declined to just 19%.
This year's study tries to downplay the above-noted increase in religious identity among Turks -- saying that it doesn't indicate a desire for an Islamic State. According to the study, the desire for 'a Shariah-based (Islamic law) Religious State' has dropped significantly from 21 percent to 9 percent since 1999. Even among strong religious-right conservative AKP supporters, those who desire an Islamic State amount to less than 14% -- which is only about 4.2% of the total Turkish population.

The Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeb

Before you start your daycare center you have to decide how many children you want to serve. This question will continue to be relevant during the time when you run and expand your daycare.What questions should you ask yourself when deciding how many children you should have at your daycare center?1. What is the legal limitation - In many states, you are limited to a certain number of children by the level of certification you have. You may be allowed up to 4 children without a license and need to get a certain certification in order
To further support the pro-secular sentiment, let's not forget the recent poll (reported in G?zc? Gazetesi during November 2006) that indicates a drop in voter support for the religious-right AKP from 36% (when they won the national election in November 2002) to 25% as we enter the next national election year in 2007.
Dr. Can Paker, Director of TESEV, admits to the public perception that the number of headcovering (t?rbanli) females has increased since 1999, but he insists that the real number has actually decreased. Dr. Paker says that, 'As incomes have increased the number of t?rbanli headcoverers has decreased (from 16 to 11%). The incorrect public perception arises because headcoverers -- who used to stay at home -- are now coming out in public due to their increased affluence.'
The most worrisome aspect of the report from Dr. Paker's viewpoint is that a "them and us" attitude is developing within Turkish society -- which has mushroomed since the AKP religious-right government came to power in 2003. To support Dr. Paker's view, 71% of those polled in 2006 thought that too much friction exists between religionists and secularists. That's up from 50% in 1999.
Will this religion-rooted turmoil ever end in Turkey? It's not likely -- unless and until Turks can do a better job of separating religion and politics... assuming, of course, that they truly have the desire to do so. The jury is still (way) out on that one.
