Effects of Cigarette Smoking

There are three harmful substances in cigarettes:tar,carbon monoxide and nicotine.Cigarette smokers who inhale the smoke,or breathe it in,can develop lun cancer.Other smokers who only take the smoke into their mouths can suffer from throat,tongue and larynxcancers.The sustance which causes cancer is the tar in cigarettes.Cigarette manufacturers have tried to develop low tar brands of cigarettes to reduce the dangers.Certain forms of filters in addition to the cigarette's own filter can also help.However ,nothing can completely eliminate the tar without changing the taste of cigarette completely.
The effects of carbon monoxide are perhaps more serious because they can cause permanent damage on tohers besides the smokers themselves.Increased carbon monoxide intake automatically means reduced oxygen intake,and cansequently a lower oxygen content in the blood and the brain.An oxygen-straved brain begins to die.
It's true that cigarette smokers need cigarettes.Of course they do not actively choose to harm themselves and others,but they are forced to do so because of their dependence on the strong and fast-acting stimulant called nicotine.In other words,they can'do without it.People who smoke frequently claim that smoking makes them feel calmand sooths their nerves,but this is a pyschological consequence of satisfying a need because cigarettes,like coffee and tea,are arousing agents and they make people more nervous ,no less.

tomorrow's cars

What kind of cars will we be driving in the year 2030?Rather different ones from thıse that w know today.The next twenty years will bringgreater change incar models than the past fifty years.Tomorrow's cars will not ook like those of today.The most important cause taht will lead to a change in the desing not to cause air pollution.They will be electrically powered;in other words,they will run on electricity entirely and therefore,be enviromentally clean.There are already some cars of that kind but their use in daily life is very limited though.
Besides the problem of pullution ,there is also the problem of heavy traffic and traffic accidents today.The last two may also be avoided if computers drive the cars instead of drivers.As a passenger,all you will have to do will be to get in the car and say where you want to go.The computer will do the rest and take you there.This ,however, will require the construction of special intelligent raods ,as tomorrow's models won't be able to move on ordinary roads.These roads will contain special strips that can supply electrical power to the vehicles as they drive along them.The special equipment in cars will pick up the necessary fuel during long journeys from a power source which will exist in the road.As computers -not drivers- will provide safe driving,there will be fewer accidents;or maybe,there won't be any accidents.

electricity is everywhere

Our homes are full of devices-machines-that run on electricity,but we don't use elctricity in our homes only.We need it in schools,hospitals,banks,factories,etc...Electricity brings us health and comfort.For example at home we use it for heating electric fires ,irons and toasters.

We also use electricity to produce shaft power,i.e.,power that we use to run electric motors.For example,washing machines,refrigerators and mixers use this kind of power.Also vehicles such as subway trains,trolley buses and electric locomotives have motors that run on electricity.

There are also some vert special lamps that produce ultraviolet rays and infrared rays.We use both rays in medical treatments.One of the most valuable an dimportant uses of electicity is in producing X-rays.When we look at an X-rayiwe can see the indise of the human body,and in this way physicians,or doctors,can give a more accurate ;that is,correct,diagnosis of an illness.In other words,when a doctor loks at an X-ray he can tell you what kind of an illness you have.

As you can see,when we think about using electricity we can find so many things to be grateful to Benjamin Franklin:)

Rastafari movement

i've recently learned a new religion movement called Rastafarian movement.It's a really interesting religion rooted in Ethiopia.There are several definitions and rumours about this religion.The most interesting thing i've learned is that the rasta hairstyle is used by Rastafarian people and it symbolizes this religion.Did you know that it was symbolizing an religion?I was just thinking that people have their hari rasta only because it looks eyecatching or something.Now i want to give you some more infomartion about this movement.
The Rastafari movement (also known as Rastafari, Rastafarianism or simply Rasta) is a monotheistic, Abrahamic, new religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former Emperor of Ethiopia, as the incarnation of God, called Jah or Jah Rastafari. Haile Selassie is also seen as part of the Holy Trinity and as the returned messiah promised in the Bible.
Other characteristics of Rastafari include the spiritual use of cannabis, rejection of western society (called "Babylon"), and various Afrocentric social and political aspirations, such as the teachings of Jamaican publicist, organizer, and black separatist Marcus Garvey (also often regarded as a prophet), whose political and cultural vision helped inspire Leonard Howell to develop the foundations of this new world view.
The name Rastafari comes from Ras (literally "Head," an Ethiopian title equivalent to Duke), and Tafari Makonnen, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I. Rastafari is commonly called "Rastafarianism," by some academics, but this term is considered derogatory and offensive by Rastas themselves.

-osmanlı cumhuriyeti-

I want to talk about a film i watched yesterday.It is 'Osmanlı Cumhuriyeti' starring Ata Demirer as an Ottoman emperor.The film is inspired by the question that what would happen if the Independence War hadn't taken place and the independence hadn't been gained by the Turkish people.The scriptwriter and the director of the film Gani Müjde answered this question as 'if the war hadn'T taken place, Ottoman Empire would become an American colony.'We see lots of american flags beside the Turkish flags and that was the one of the creepy scenes of the film.This scene makes watchers much more thankful to our ancestors and The Great Mustafa Kemal Atatürk for they didn't allow this scene to be real.So in the film main idea is that the independence preceeds everything for the Turkish people and the indepedence is the faith of Turks.There are more touchy scenes that hilarious scenes.This film will make you think twice about independence and the self-seeking American and Europen nations trying to play monatary games on Turkiye for thousand years.
