Scary !!!

This scary bones are belong to a chapel where is located near Prag...I've
received this pictures from a friend of mine...I was shocked and didnt want
to believe what I had just seen, decided to ask about those real skull bones to my ex-classmate Premo who is from Czech Republic...
After he has done a quick search for me (thanks to his parents as well) he sent me this web-site

Here's a short summary about these scary bones:

''In 1278 King Otakar II of Bohemia sent Henry, the abbot of Sedlec , on a diplomatic mission to the Holy Land. When leaving Jerusalem Henry took with him a handful of earth from Golgotha which he sprinkled over the cemetery of Sedlec monastery, consequently the cemetery became famous, not only in Bohemia but also throughout Central Europe and many wealthy people desired to be buried here.The burial ground was enlarged during the epidemics of plague in the 14 th century (e.g.in 1318 about 30 000 people were buried here) and also during the Hussite wars in first quarter of the 15 th. century.''

What I know is this, I would never want to be there as a visitor or as a permanent bone..
huh!

When starting up..

When starting up dont know what to say...I met these blogs 1.5 years ago...It was really funny for me reading and searching and updating friends' lives but from another view was that so easy creating your own blog???Now thinking...What if i had created a blog for myself 1,5 years ago???

• Would it be boring for me after a while and stop blogging or
• Would I create the 9th blog-edition like encylopedias :P

Who knows..Let's get it started now and here :)
My blog is welcoming you..

Enjoy!

P.S. This post was supposed to be published on the 11th February 2006..But Why Can't I see under february archieve?? Where has my february archieve gone???

Any suggestion??

'The World in 2050'

Please refer the references below (turkce):

The PwC report - entitled 'The World in 2050': How big will the emerging market economies get and how can the OECD compete?' - revealed some surprising results. It suggested that India has the potential to be the fastest-growing large economy in the world, followed by Indonesia – both ahead of China due especially to their less rapidly ageing populations.

In a report issued last Friday, PwC says that by 2050 what it calles the E7 economies (China, India, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Mexico and Turkey (Turkey will be the 12th strongest economy 1n the world) ) will have outstripped the current G7 (US, Japan, Germany, France, UK, Italy and Canada) by around 25% when comparing GDP using market exchange rates, and by up to 75% when using purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates. The UK economy could slip from 5th place to 9th place in the rankings.


"But this should create major new market opportunities, allowing companies in established OECD economies like the UK to specialise further in their areas of comparative advantage, while their consumers continue to benefit from low-cost imports from the emerging economies – a ‘win-win’ outcome," says PwC.
