This video is about true beauty. It says people assume that beauty is only skin deep; therefore, they want to be called beautiful with regards to physical appearence. However, the real truth is much more far for those who think that gloss is necessary to be beautiful; that is to say, people are ignorant of what the beauty is, it indicates. For a while, the woman who shot this video turns her camera to some posters on the wall on which there are pictures of some fashion models who are called beautiful and and she says she is not beutiful like them, she is beautiful like her. Furthermore, as far as I understand from what she wrote, she thinks that like those mannikin, to be skinny and have pretty face, long hair, big bust and perfect smile are not indications of being beautiful. She points out that one can never see true beauty with a mirror, which means beauty is not on outer appearence of people. She says beauty is not in the face, it is a light in the heart.
I liked this video so much because it indicates that beauty is not like people assumed; it is in one's heart and I am of the same mind with it. I think people should not be valued with their beauty and outer appearence. If I have to speak for myself, I can say one is valuable for his/her hümanity, thoughts, ideas, perpectives of life, intentions, and beliefs for me; not for his/her gloss. Every person deserves to be respected and valued by others because of being human. However, today beauty concept is misunderstood and given so much importance that in every field we can see traces of it.

THE INCREASING INTEREST IN BEAUTY
Day by day, the importance given to
physical appearance is increasing. I think this results from people's desire to
win recognition or respect from the others. This lead them to be more and more
beautiful as they think that when they are beautiful, their friends or
companions will accept them easily. Indeed, it is true; that is, everbody is
drawn by the outer beauty. For instance, surely you had such experiences in
elementary or secondary school that a beautiful girl or a handsome boy has so
many friends and their thoughts or ideas are regarded as more important from
that of the others. You can always see a lot of people around such
people because of their recognition resulting from their beauties. It also
might be the desire to be admired by the opposite sex. It is a fact that a
person who is beautiful or handsome, and has a good-looking is admired by the
other because one's having beauty creates a good impression on people on the
first look. For example, the guys always look for the girls' beauty first of
all, and the girls are same, too. If a girl has uneducated or not smart, rude
but she is beatiful there are still many guys want her and if a guy is a bad
person but he has good-looking, so the girls still like him. Moreover, I am of
the opinion that if one is beautiful, he/she has more chance in work life in
terms of being hired as most of the employers are influenced by the appearance
of the candidates in job interviews, and of course their decisions are also
shaped in this way. For instance, what I realize in every company is that all
staff members or employees are good-looking people and generally the managers
are handsome or beautiful, too. As far as I understand, it is important to have
a charisma in work life for every stage. That is, outer beauty is also
important for work life. The beauty is gaining more and more importance,
and if you have outer beauty most of the doors in life is open to you.
GROUP WORK OUR TEACHİNG DEVİCE
Our device aims at teaching English vocabularies and their pronounciations for beginner learners especially kids from the ages of 7 to 12. It looks like a notebook, but it is much smaller. It has letter buttons, so one can write anything s/he wants on its keyboard to learn its meaning in the other language.In addition, the pictures of the words can be seen on its screen, which provides children with associating the words with their pictures and learning the words more efficiently. As for its the most important feature, it pronounces the words when one clicks the ''pro'' (pronounciation) button and also by showing happy or sad face, it gives him/her a chance to control his/her pronounciation with ''verf'' ( verification) button. That is, when the ''pro'' button is clicked, it pronounces the word and when the ''verf'' button is clicked, s/he is supposed to pronounce the word correctly. If s/he pronounces it correctly, a happy face shows up on the screen. If not, a sad face shows up on the screen. Furthermore, its size enables people or children to carry it with them everywhere, and its feature of showing pictures of the words makes it entertaining. Besides, its visual and audial traits enable children to learn the words efficiently and permanently. Apart from this, it translates the words from Türkish to English and also English to Türkish.

JOURNAL ENTRY 7 (Conjuctions)
DEVİL WEARS PRADA I have to say it is one of
the funniest movies I've seen. The screenwriter both has maintained
everything that was funny about the book, as well as chucked a lot of the duller
subplots, and has formulated a movie that is a great deal more enjoyable than
the book. I'm sure you're all familiar with the basic
premise - naive small-town girl comes to the big city hoping to be a
journalist, and gets a job as assistant to Miranda Priestly, the much-feared
editor of 'Runway' magazine. Thankfully, the cast was
almost perfect and elevated the
movie to a level it would not have otherwise reached. I thought that Anne Hathaway was very appealing in her role; she made Andrea more likable and less snobbish than she was in the book although the screenwriter deserves credit for that, as well, she looked
great in the couture she wore through most of the movie. The supporting players were also very good,
especially Emily Blunt (as Andrea's caustic fellow assistant, Emily) and
Stanley Tucci (as Miranda's loyal but beleaguered right-hand man, Nigel). On
many occasions, they stole scenes from the ostensibly 'central' character of
Andrea. The movie, while maintaining the book's premise,
does not follow the book too closely, which I liked. The entire subplot
from the book is eliminated; both Andrea's parents and boyfriend are less significant in the movie than in the
book. I agreed with these changes, but I found those aspects of the book
to be quite boring, and their omission made for a more streamlined movie. I strongly recommend this movie to virtually
anyone.

WHAT İS ''HAARP'' ?
This video mentiones a project called '' HAARP '' which stands for high frequency active auroral research project. It says that this technology's background was formed by Nicole Tesla and those who can develop this technology will be the sole owner of the world and now this technology is used by United States America and Israel. It adds that it was calculated that if it is run during one hour, it releases an energy as much as an atomic bomb does. It also says that HAARP was erected at a peciluar place near the US military base in Gakona Alaska because it is a perfect place to control the electromanyetic areas of the world without anyone knowing. The video also explains that HAARP can change the climates, create earthquakes, melt polar ices, control the ocean waves, control the human minds by playing with the world's energy fields and play with the ozone layer. It adds that when it is used to trigger to form the eartquakes, there is an odd change of colour at the sky.
I liked this video in terms of the information it conveys and being expository in every aspect and proving things that it alleged with pictures or images. I think that these all are correct and soon something must be done. We cannot leave the world to the hands of America or Israel. However, there is no such power that it will challenge these two country. They have already owned the world since very early times. This project they have can even change the world and nobody says anything.
JOURNAL ENTRY 5 WHAT İS '' HAARP'' HAARP stands for The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. The
goal of this program is to further advance our knowledge of the physical and
electrical properties of the Earth's ionosphere which can affect our military
and civilian communication and navigation systems. The HAARP program operates a
world-class ionospheric research facility located in Gakona, Alaska. They say it is for communications, but, in fact, the
real motive is much more wicked. The name of
this 'research' is a nonsensical name protecting its potential to be worse than
a nuclear bomb. It can be used to create a world war, thus pretty much ending
the human race as we know it. It could be done by raping the sky with
energy rays from large amounts of antennas placed at HAARP's location in
Alaska. These rays of energy could then potentially be reflected back into the
Earth's ionosphere on an extremely low frequency, called ELF waves. This can
change the ELF waves to an extremely dangerous weapon. These low frequencies improve radio contact between
people, even if you are inside a thick
concrete bunker or a submarine.For instance, US military might be able to locate
missiles and detect bunkers created by the 'enemy' with ease. Moreover, it
can also block signals from any electronic device, which would mean you could
stop anyone, anywhere from communicating electronically. The pros of this
project are good, but at no point outweight the terrifying cons of it's
technology. Together with the ozone layer, the
ionosphere protects us from being fried by the sun. We are being so obsessed
with the global warming destroying the ozone layer, but HAARP could destroy the
ionosphere in seconds. Despite warnings and protests, it is going ahead
anyway. They are invested 30 million dollars into it. 60 antennas are being
tested already. Scientists intend to heat the ionosphere with the antennas, in
turn this will create ion clouds that will replicate an optical lense, which
will reflect the ELF waves and rain shit down upon us. They can be aimed at
anywhere at all, depending on where the waves are going.The truth is, that
HAARP camouflages the worlds biggest weapon ever created, one that could
literally destroy the world. Our skies are being programmed, and we are not
far behind.

THE WORLD OF METU
The latest slogan of metu '' I brain METU '' is
exactly as it should be because it explains everthing about metu and its
student. Of course, when it is read, the saying does not give the whole meaning
to the readers. It is not expository ; nevertheless , one can anticipate the
message intended to convey it to the readers. When the video of the slogan is
watched, it is better to understand what the slogan shelters in it. I think, it
addresses both metu and its students in every aspect. Those who speak in the video completely tell the truths of metu. For instance, as they say, metu people do not accept any borders or limititations; they think freely and express their ideas freely. Of course there are much more words said about metu and its students in the whole video. These are just two of them. However, there are so many
things which can be said about metu and its student ; therefore , the slogan is a bit
insufficient. I can see that it is somewhat short but really meaningful. Despite
this, I think it could be more developed according to the message it has. If ı chose a slogan for metu, I definitely regard the slogan '' the world of metu'' as an appropriate slogan since when both metu students and its campus is taken into consideration everybody admits this slogan. Apart from these, metu students' souls are enough to form a world on its own. To conlude, being a metu student is really a concessionary.
