What does Preparation mean literally?

BuRcu — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 20:35:00 +0000

According to english dictionaries: preparation is the state of being prepared...On the other hand Crazy American Auditors think that every letter needs to have a meaning, like:

P:People
R:Roles
E:Evidence
P:Previous Meetings
A:Agenda
R:Research Client
A:Arrange logistics
T:Time
I:Industry knowledge
O:Objectives
N:Notice

Quite interesting though, rules are everywhere...Even in our letters

It's a place to relax, when you get bored of everything esp the the routin of istanbul...

It's a place to hide from the real world and stay with your thoughts to get things in perspective
It's a place to sing along the "sound of solitude" with the trees

Its a place to share some laughs with friends and celebrate the new beginnings
It's a place you want to have all the time in the world!

finally GRADUATED!!!!

Mathematics

BuRcu — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 09:15:00 +0000

Mathematics was always my favorite lesson during my studies both at university and high school. I find it amazing and mysterious.
If you have 5 minutes please have a go, and see the result!

Here are the steps:
1. Take a calculator
2. Write down the first 3 digits of your phone number (Don’t use the area code)
3. Then take this number and multiply by 80
4. Add 1
5. Multiply again by 250
6. Now take your last 4 digit of your phone number and add to this sum
7. Add the sum again this last 4 digit of your phone number
8. Subtruct 250
9. And finally divide by 2
10. That’s the result!

What's the difference?

Last weekend Musti and I decided to make a touristic trip all over Turkey only for 2 hours. Turkey is a huge country imagine that even in 15 hours long you can’t travel from East to West by bus, so 2 hours sounds incredible isn’t it? But it’s definitely true...

We went to Miniaturk where is an open air museum with its miniature ancient buildings for visitors to discover Turkey’s rich historical heritage as well as natural landscapes in a limited time. The miniature models (with a scale of 1:25) are located along the nostalgic Golden Horn which is the biggest area of 60 thousand square meters, larger than any other miniature city in the world.

Some of the prominent works included are the Galata Tower, Kız Kulesi , Süleymaniye Mosque, Selimiye Mosque, Haghia Sophia, Anıtkabir, , Dolmabahçe Palace, Mostar Bridge, Bosphorus Bridge, Istanbul Atatürk Airport, Topkapı Palace, St. Irene Church, Mevlana Mausoleum, Sümela Monastery, Virgin Mary Church, Artemis Temple, Zeus Altar, Istanbul City Walls and the Atatürk Olympic Stadium.Some of the prominent works included are the Galata Tower, Kız Kulesi , Süleymaniye Mosque, Selimiye Mosque, Haghia Sophia, Anıtkabir, , Dolmabahçe Palace, Mostar Bridge, Bosphorus Bridge, Istanbul Atatürk Airport, Topkapı Palace, St. Irene Church, Mevlana Mausoleum, Sümela Monastery, Virgin Mary Church, Artemis Temple, Zeus Altar, Istanbul City Walls and the Atatürk Olympic Stadium.

Alumni in London

BuRcu — Sat, 13 May 2006 06:57:00 +0000

Last week I got an e-mail from [Alumni in London] list regarding the upcoming event " Annual Review Boat Party" on the River Thames. Annual Review Boat Party is a special opportunity for members, alumnus, SNs and trainees to come together in London. In other words it's a Party Time for the ones who are living in UK :)

For those of you who dont know; I'm an alumni of AIESEC in Turkey where I worked for :1 year (2003-2004) in MC as a Director of OGX Exam and Process, and for 2 years(2000-2002) AIESEC Istanbul in several team works. I also lived in London for 10 months last year where I tried to join the alumni events. I remember it amazed me when I have been told that there are 50.000 alumnus are living in UK (not sure about this count) by Harmandeep.
...
For this year: If you'll be in London in July; u should join this wonderful event. You can get more info from UK MC.

Now lets have a look at what happened in Annual Review 2005, 1st July .

Scary !!!

BuRcu — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 15:57:00 +0000

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..

BuRcu — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 10:08:00 +0000

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 I create the 9th blog-edition like encylopedias :P

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

'The World in 2050'

BuRcu — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 09:33:00 +0000

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.
