 Traditional  names , nicknames and causes for giving such names in Anatolia. 

Names and nicknames are symbols serving people living in a society to know each other better and to distinguish from one another. Names of ladies usually consist of soft, sweet, melodic, pleasant and good words to hear. Names of male are hard words suitable for character of male. These words symbolise the strength in life style of men.

Nicknames are encountered as much more determining factor in distinguishing  persons’ identity. Among causes for giving nicknames are included such features as occupation, diligence, laziness, residential area, ethnic root, jealousy, envy, physical characteristics, attitude towards environment, saying handed down from the past, etc.

Anniversary  of   Madımak Massacre

The Sivas massacre ( Sivas Katliamı, Madımak Katliamı) refers to the events of July 2, 1993 which resulted in the killing of 37 people, mostly Alevi  intellectuals, and two hotel employees. Two people from the mob also were killed by  fundamentalists setting  fire to the hotel where the Alevi group had assembled.

I wish that  tragic event never happened.   Thinking it still saddens my heart. The true Islam never say  to kill innocent people. The mindset of fundamentalists are occupied by satanic motivations. Their mind are washed by ignorant sahtekar hocas and their evil  teachings. 

May them rest  in peace.

Turkish man wears helmet-like head cage to quit smoking

İbrahim Yücel wears a helmet-like wire cage on his head, locked on two sides, in an unusual bid to kick the habit. DHA photo

In an unusual bid to quit smoking, a 42-year-old man in the western province of Kütahya has begun wearing a helmet-like wire cage on his head, locked on two sides.

İbrahim Yücel, who is trying to kick a 26-year habit of smoking two packets of cigarettes per day, gives the keys of his head cage to his wife and daughter when he leaves home every day. In this way, he is unable to open the cage to smoke during the day, even if he craves a smoke.

He says he was inspired to create the helmet-like head cage by observing motorcycle helmets, after trying without success to quit smoking several times in the past. His father died of lung cancer caused by smoking some years ago.

Since donning the head cage two days ago, Yücel has not smoked a single cigarette. 

At first shocked by the extraordinary contraption, his family now supports Yücel´s determined bid to stop smoking.

Note : Well done to  him ! But I am not sure about the method he is using
