He is the son of the sailor father of Rize who also served in the Coast Guard. He spent his childhood at Rize. He migrated with his family from Rize to Istanbul at the age of fourteen and studied at the Piyale Paşa Elementary School.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as mayor of Istanbul era

As mayor of Istanbul, Erdoğan rose to prominence because he was an effective and populist administrator, building infrastructure and transportation routes for Istanbul and at the same time beautifying the city. His outstanding achievements that are hard to forget for citizen are the success of providing clean water for the city's residents, controlling buildings, reducing pollution levels by planting thousands of trees on city streets, combating illegal prostitution by providing more respectful jobs to young women, and prohibiting serving liquor in a place that is under the control of the mayor of Istanbul. When he declared the Islamic Development Justice Party (AKP: Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi) in August 2001, he was able to carry his party like a light that will illuminate the darkness.

 

On August 10^th 2014 Turkey held direct presidential elections for the first time in 91 years. So far, the president is elected by the parliament. Erdoğan was elected as the 12th President of Turkey as a result of the Turkish presidential election which was held on August 10^th  2014. Erdoğan won the presidential election with 52% of the vote defeating two of his competitors, and on August 28^th , Erdoğan was officially sworn in as the 12^th  President of Turkey. His inauguration will usher in a new era in Turkey as he is expected to push for a new constitution that can transform the country. For a number of leaders of Arab countries, Erdoğan is depicted as an arrogant figure who is thirsty for power and expansionist, Erdoğan is perceived as a figure who wants to revive an extinct caliphate, Erdoğan's controversy is related to his plan to change the Hagia Sophia from a museum to a mosque.

1st Friday prayer inn Hagia Sophia

 A plan that has received harsh criticism from many parties, although it is also supported by many groups. That is what makes the leaders of Arab countries consider Erdoğan a figure who wants to revive an extinct caliphate, which means he wants to revive Islam during the caliphate in Turkey. Erdoğan said that the resurrection of the Hagia Sophia is a symbol of justice, conscience, morals, monotheism and brotherhood and the revival of the light of the longed civilization. With that on Friday July 24^th 2020, Friday prayers were held at the Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey after 86 years as a museum and now the Hagia Sophia is officially a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey.

That's a little story of the life journey of the fantastic figure of the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He really inspires people. He has also awakened something that should have been raised a long time ago, and also he succeeded in succeeding the previous president and advancing Turkey.

 

Recount text The Battle of Surabaya

 

Hello guys, back again with me Ajeng. Today, as you see you on the pick up there, I want to talk about Battle of Surabya but today I want to talk about it recount text structure.

The film opens with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, followed by Japan's surrender to the Allied powers aboard the USS Missouri. Though Indonesian President Sukarno proclaimed Indonesian independence, the Dutch wanted to restore control over the Dutch East Indies, resulting in the Indonesian National Revolution. With the Dutch lacking the manpower to reoccupy their former colony, British and Indian forces land in Java including Surabaya to restore order (or control for those pro-Indonesian side) on behalf of the Dutch.

Prior to the Battle of Surabaya, thirteen-year old Musa works as a shoe shiner to support his ill mother. Having lost his father, Musa finds a father figure in a Japanese captain named Yoshimura, who is later killed in a fight between Indonesian youths and KNIL soldiers. Musa befriends an adolescent Indonesian Chinese girl named Yumna, an orphan who works as a spy for the Indonesian nationalists and is a former member of the secretive Kipas Hitam (Black Fan) militia group. In addition, Musa also befriends an older youth named Danu and an Indonesian soldier named Solehudin.

To help the Indonesian struggle, Musa and Yumna work as couriers for Resident Sudirman, traveling behind Allied and Japanese lines. Musa initially considers quitting his work as a courier but changes his mind after his mother is killed in a fire, leaving him orphaned. In her final moments, she tells her son that there is no glory in war. As the Indonesian Republic negotiates with British and Indian forces under Brigadier A.W.S. Mallaby, a new captain named John Wright arrives in Surabaya and takes increasingly active measures against the Indonesian nationalists and local supporters.

Based on information from his Kipas Hitam contacts, captain Wright takes an interest in capturing Musa, who is couriering an encrypted instructions from the Indonesian political leadership to the military leaders ordering resistance against the Allied forces. Following a lengthy pursuit, Musa is captured by the British forces and imprisoned at the Kipas Hitam base. Musa also learns that Danu is a traitor but resists Wright's interrogation. Wright reveals that his hatred for war stems from the loss of his son to German forces during World War Two. Indonesian forces led by Solehudin and Yumna mount a rescue mission with the two being killed during the fighting. Changing sides, Danu rescues Musa and agrees to help him deliver the message to atone for his treason.

Following the assassination of Brigadier Mallaby, full-scale hostilities break out between Allied and Indonesian forces in Surabaya, devastating much of the city. During the fighting, Musa saves captain Wright from a snake. While couriering the coded message on a motorcycle sidecar, Musa and Danu are pursued by captain Wright and British forces. Danu gives his life to delay the pursuers by ramming his vehicle into a jeep. Commandeering a bicycle, Musa flees the British forces and manages to jump over a bridge. Out of respect for his foe, captain Wright allows Musa to escape.

Years later, an older Musa visits Japan and meets captain Yoshimura's daughter Kioko. As the years pass, Musa becomes a grandfather. While attending a parade, he sees the faces of his fallen friends and imagines a world living in peace together.

Recount text is a text which retells events or experiences in the past. Its purpose is either to inform or to entertain the readers. There is no complications among the participants and that differentiates from narrative text. A recount text has an orientation, a series of events in chronological order, personal remarks on the events, and a reorientation that “rounds off” the sequence of events.

Generic Structure of Recount Text

When writing the recount text you should:

announcment

 

Hey guys, How are you? I hope you are all good, I'm back again now to explain about "attention". 

So, Whta is attention?

Attention is the behavioral and cognitive process of selectively concentrating on a discrete aspect of information, whether considered subjective or objective, while ignoring other perceivable information. It is a state of arousal. William James (1890) wrote that "[Attention] is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. Focalization, concentration, of consciousness are of its essence." Attention has also been described as the allocation of limited cognitive processing resources. Attention is manifested by an attentional bottleneck, in term of the amount of data the brain can process each second; for example, in human vision, only less than 1% of the visual input data (at around one megabyte per second) can enter the bottleneck, leading to inattentional blindness.

 

Attention remains a crucial area of investigation within education, psychology, neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and neuropsychology. Areas of active investigation involve determining the source of the sensory cues and signals that generate attention, the effects of these sensory cues and signals on the tuning properties of sensory neurons, and the relationship between attention and other behavioral and cognitive processes, which may include working memory and psychological vigilance. A relatively new body of research, which expands upon earlier research within psychopathology, is investigating the diagnostic symptoms associated with traumatic brain injury and its effects on attention. Attention also varies across cultures.

 

The relationships between attention and consciousness are complex enough that they have warranted perennial philosophical exploration. Such exploration is both ancient and continually relevant, as it can have effects in fields ranging from mental health and the study of disorders of consciousness to artificial intelligence and its domains of research.

Recreation place

 

Hey guys I'm back again and I want to talk about descriptive text recreation place. so the place that I want to talk about is Cappadocia

Cappadocia 

is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in the Nevşehir, Kayseri, Kırşehir, Aksaray, Malatya, Sivas and Niğde provinces in Turkey. Cappadocia is famous for its fairytale scenery, cave dwellings, remarkable rock formations and, of course, the hundreds of hot air balloons that soar in the sky during sunrise each morning. There is also so much awesome hiking in Cappadocia, that it will take you at least a week to explore all of the place in Cappdocia, exploring the ancient the valleys and of course mesmerized by the hot air balloons.

Since the late 300s BCE the name Cappadocia came to be restricted to the inland province (sometimes called Great Cappadocia), Upper Cappadocia, which alone will be the focus of this article. Lower Cappadocia is focused to elsewhere.

According to Herodotus, in the time of the Ionian Revolt (499 BC), the Cappadocians were reported as occupying a region from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates, to the north by Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.

The name, traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history, continues in use as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage.

So there is a lot of tourist attraction in Cappadocia, but for now I will tell you 12 tourist attraction places
