Eğitimdir ki , bir milleti ya hür, bağımsız, yüksek bir topluluk halinde yaşatır yada milleti esaret ve sefalete terk eder.
Memleketimizi, milletimizi hedefe ,gerçek mutluluğa ulaştırmak için iki orduya ihtiyaç vardır:Biri vatanını hayatını hiçe sayarak koruyan asker ordusu, diğeri memleketin geleceğini yoğuran irfan ordusudur.Bu iki ordunun ikisi de kıymetlidir,yücedir.Bu iki ordunun ikisi de hayatidir.Ancak bir ülkenin geleceğini belirleyecek olan genç nüfusların eğitiminde en önemli görevi üstlenenler tabiki de irfan ordusudur.
Bir millet eğitim ordusuna sahip olmadıkça savaş meydanlarında ne kadar parlak zaferler elde ederse etsin, o zaferlerin kalıcı sonuçlar vermesi ancak eğitim ordusuyla mümkündür.
Öğretmenler!Cumhuriyetin fedakar öğretmen ve eğitimcileri , yeni nesilleri sizler yetiştireceksiniz ve yeni nesiller sizin eseriniz olacaktır.Eserinizin kıymeti sizin becerinizin ve fedakarlığınızın derecesiyle orantılıdır.

A Cautionary Tale – How Not to Cut IT Costs in a Downturn
Years ago I worked as a Product Line Manager, responsible for development of six products, in the IT organization of a $17 billion dollar public firm. Immediately following senior corporate and IT leadership changes, we implemented an aggressive cost cutting program using the tactics.
Within two years, a once relatively efficient and well-aligned IT shop reached a point where it was incapable of delivering projects and running the systems the business depended on. By the end of this transition, most employees were assigned to three to six simultaneous projects, often at two hundred percent of capacity. Employees didn’t know which projects mattered most, and eventually stopped expecting projects to succeed, as there was no means to remedy impediments.
The largest and most important project in the company, one involving hundreds of IT employees and contractors, was a risky new Customer Care system being implemented on a commercial CRM platform that had never been used this way. Senior Directors and above believed the green status reports they received weekly from the consulting company leading the implementation. The non-executive employees in IT knew the system wasn’t functional, but the IT management team trusted the consulting company more than employees. The system broke the minute it went live, and for more than a month customer accounts couldn’t be serviced and retail stores couldn’t add new customers. For months after that, major outages and account data corruption caused billing errors and service problems for thousands of customers. The US Government levied investigations and fines for regulatory violations because angry customers couldn’t cancel their service to join competitors.
Other departments of the company had similarly spectacular declines in effectiveness and customer service. In three months, millions of customers cancelled their service and switched to competitors; an unprecedented level of churn. The stock price went down to a third of its highs. The company plunged from being the largest, fastest growing, most innovative firm in its industry, to being the only major firm to lose subscribers and earnings in this period. It ceased to be the acquirer of choice, and was bought by a competitor at a price that reflected its distress and disarray. This transformation from industry leader to fire-sale disposition was accomplished in less than a dozen quarters.
So here we are again. The current economic downturn has resulted in contraction of IT Department budgets and a mandate to allocate resources to only the most critical projects, then execute flawlessly. In this paper, I outline some bad, but not uncommon tactical reactions to falling budgets, and describe problems those reactions generate. I also recommend a proven alternative for delivering more value with smaller budgets using an Agile and Lean framework that avoids costly project failures, maximizes ROI of projects undertaken, and lets us have a more adaptable and flexible portfolio of projects.
Introduction - The Need to Do More With Less
A recessionary economy puts pressure on companies to maintain earnings while revenues are static or shrinking. Many of the efficiencies business leaders seek to achieve depend on improved systems and streamlined processes, resulting in increased demand for IT projects at the exact moment when IT departments are most capacity constrained. At the same time, the consequences for waste, inefficiencies, and project failures have become extremely high.
In tough times, the key to improving the strategic value of IT is to resist the pressure to retreat to a “keep the lights on” defensive posture. CIOs must increase relative portfolio investments in projects that raise the impact and yield from IT. In other words, deliver more value, faster and cheaper, while ensuring troubled projects are fixed or terminated. But how is this possible?
The answer is to adopt Lean thinking and Agile software development practices in order to run IT as an Agile portfolio. Industry studies of the ROI of Agile projects are now widespread and prove Agile practices deliver a tremendously positive impact on time-to-market, productivity, customer satisfaction, and the quality of products delivered. With a systematic focus on delivering value and removing waste, Agile is especially compelling in tough financial times. Surveys on Agile adoption rates show that mainstream IT organizations are adopting Agile in droves, so all of our competitors will be reaping the efficiencies of Agile shortly.
So the question becomes: “Can we afford NOT to implement Agile now?”
Common (Mistaken) Tactics in an Economic Downturn
Typical responses I’ve seen to an economic downturn include outsourcing and off-shoring, across-the-board budget cuts, and centralization of IT functions into an IT “service bureau.” While companies may see some initial budget savings, each of these tactics proves to be short sighted. Each brings its own set of problems, but in combination, these cost-cutting tactics are highly damaging, hollowing out the organization’s ability to maintain market share and increase competitiveness.
Cost Cutting Option #1: Ship it offshore
I’ve been the customer and manager of several offshore teams, and working in Professional Services I’ve been the subcontractor performing work in our offshore center for my customers. Of course, it’s the promise of huge labor savings with hourly rates less than half those of US developers that is initially so attractive. I’ve found that while large-scale non-core or “utility” projects can eventually achieve savings through outsourcing, even those cost much more the first year or two of the transition. Cost savings here are possible, but are a longer-term proposition at best.
However, when building core internal business applications or customer-facing systems, I’ve seen that that the total cost of development isn’t reduced at all with off shoring. In my experience with systems involving complex or evolving requirements, the man-hours effort and calendar time required to deliver a release has been as much as double that of local development teams, a year later. Here are the main causes:
• Our offshore development facilities generated much higher levels of waste and rework due to defects and wrongly implemented features, including many features that technically “met the spec” but weren’t usable. We had to mitigate these issues with spending on additional levels of oversight, reviews and communications.
• Our offshore teams required much more detailed specifications than were needed previously. A high-level requirement that would have been sufficient for our local developers who know the business had to become a detailed step-by-step specification describing the “how” instead of the “what” and “why.”
• Our outsourcing contracts erected impediments to quickly responding to our feedback and market changes. This further hurt project ROI and delivery time.
Together these obstacles increase costs and erode value delivered. But, because many of them are “soft” costs, they are less obvious than lower dollars paid per developer-hour.
While I’ve experienced successful offshore initiatives, I’ve learned the hard way that it’s expensive, and only appropriate for non-core projects that aren’t tied to improving market share. Consequently, I have shut down several failed offshore operations, including ones we launched with high expectations and confidence after “learning our lessons” on previous failures.
Cost Cutting Option #2: Bottom 10 or Across the Board?
IT organizations are accustomed to demand for services outstripping their capacity to deliver. Many CIOs, after diligently implementing efficiencies for years, are understandably stunned when the CFO asks for a 10% or greater cut in the IT budget as part of the company’s response to the economic crisis.
In the budget cuts I’ve managed, I’ve never had the luxury of obvious expendable projects or functions to kill in order to find a painless 10% savings. Once a project is approved and in process, there are stakeholders passionate about its preservation. How do we cut and avoid those ugly confrontations with our customers? IT management has two choices: a) lay off the bottom 10% of staff, or b) cut all budgets and initiatives equally to spread the pain “fairly” across all divisions and projects. I’ve worked in environments that alternated cycles of both. The risk here is that management fails to also address workload, thus explicitly or implicitly asking remaining employees to make up the difference with longer hours. As time passes and overtime becomes unsustainable, morale and commitment decay, turnover of the best people grows and quality and project outcomes plummet. Eventually it appears to customers that IT delivers projects ever more slowly and erratically and that quality is a luxury IT can no longer afford.
Instead of falling into the trap, smart CIOs insist that customers clarify priorities among their projects to enable good investment tradeoffs. They insist that appropriate quality and a sustainable pace are non-negotiable constants. They work with their business customers to allocate investments across a portfolio of project opportunities using a transparent capacity and delivery model of IT.
Cost Cutting Option #3: Centralize IT into a “Service Bureau” Model
Another tactic IT leadership implements to cope with shrinking budgets and excess demand is the “Service Bureau” model. Corporate IT emulates an internal IT contracting firm, accepting high-bidder projects to keep the new sources of “revenue” pouring into the department. I’ve seen this tactic give rise to several bad organizational behaviors:
• Rigid and burdensome project change control policies. This way of operating is based on the perception that bureaucratic hurdles and expensive paperwork-driven gates can use change requests to generate additional project budget. It also is conveniently used to deflect blame for excessive delays and costs onto customers who “keep changing their mind.” Besides cost overruns, this limits feedback from customers and makes projects less adaptable and responsive to market forces.
• Highly centralized IT. This is based on the hope that centralized control of resource assignment improves economies of scale in IT utilization. But IT centralization increases separation between customers and the IT personnel serving them. This separation causes both loss of alignment with customer goals and loss of knowledge of the customer’s domain and requirements.
• The creation of strong functional silos where employees report to a Functional Manager who is incanted to fill project resource requests. This model’s premise is that managers who aren’t directly vested in projects will support greater resource flexibility for multitasking and reassignment. Instead, this behavior results in employee incentives and advancement that is divorced from project outcomes and customer satisfaction. In turn, this causes several pathologies:
• Decreased employee commitment to their projects and customers.
• Reduced business and domain knowledge in employees.
• Personnel assigned to multiple simultaneous projects, instead of focusing on the most important. This is based on the delusion that if all the customers’ priorities appear to be “in progress,” customers won’t notice sub-par productivity.
Unfortunately, the tactics explained here negatively reinforce each other, creating a powerful system; a death-spiral of project failures, defects, waste, turnover, and unhappy customers.
Implementing Agile Practices –A Strategic Response to an Economic Downturn
While the tactics above may seem like rational responses to the stress of scarcity in the face of unlimited demand, none ultimately help an organization get more value delivered to the business at less cost. After being involved in hundreds of process improvement scenarios, I can say that there absolutely is a better path: Implement Agile development practices throughout your technology organization. It will yield high return on investment and quickly increase value delivered to customers, especially when your resources are static or decreasing.
Agile practices reflect modern best practices from manufacturing and management. Rally Software specifically coaches our clients in adopting an integrated combination of Lean Software Development, Scrum Project Management, and XP Technical Practices, implemented appropriate to the environment. We have experience implementing these practices with software companies of all sizes, corporate IT departments in every imaginable vertical and size up to the largest public companies, as well as US Agencies and State Government.
Hold the Peanut Butter
Spreading our staff thinly across multiple projects crushes productivity. No customer has to hear a firm “no,” so we avoid hard funding choices, but less value is produced per person- hour of labor. Studies show that the context switching cost of multi-tasking a developer between three tasks is 40 percent, leaving 60 percent of capacity for productive work.In this scenario, schedules slide, project overruns cascade and personnel can’t be released to focus on the next project. Productivity of the whole organization declines. This pattern leads to widespread customer dissatisfaction with IT, and eventually pressure from the Line of Business to simply “outsource the whole mess.”
Technology leaders who want to deliver a maximum-impact IT portfolio in tough economic times implement Agile because Agile organizations:
1. Eliminate project failure risks and unrealized sunk investments.
• Deliver highest value features first, release them early and often
• Measure value delivered (outcomes), not secondary artifacts (outputs)
• Fail fast; terminate investment in projects that don’t prove returns
2. Use Lean principles to strip away the waste preventing you from delivering value – what really matters to the customer. Examples of waste include: inventories and queues, task switching and handoffs, excess production, rework, etc.
3. Re-balance their project portfolio at minimum cost and disruption.
1. Eliminate project failure risks and unrealized sunk investments
It is intuitive that accumulating high levels of sunk investment drives up risk severity. However, it is less obvious that it also drives up risk probability. We all learned in Business 101 class that sunk investment, defined as money spent in the past, should never be considered in making asset allocation decisions for the future. But in real business, the inherent ambiguity of software development encourages us to gamble that the money spent to date will somehow prove to be a good investment if we give the team one more chance to get the project on track. Of course we also dread the prospect of telling our CFO the project must be cancelled at a late stage and treated as a total write-off. These are the roots of optimism that have led to many projects that “smelled” troubled at the three-month mark to zombie-march onward for a year or more before finally being killed with the associated loss of assets and the accompanying acrimony and blame.
Deliver the highest value features first, release early and often
A major benefit of Agile development is its emphasis on early and frequent delivery of features to the user community. Early feedback improves an application’s fit to customers’ actual requirements. This is critical because even the most thoughtfully written specification contains errors, ambiguities, and wrong guesses. Requirements change constantly as our customers learn and the marketplace evolves. Frequent check-ins enables your organization to adjust and adapt at low cost.
When we shorten “time to benefit” by delivering the highest value as early as possible, projects have higher ROI and reduced risk. In long-running, traditional projects, all the financial benefit of using the most important feature is withheld until every last feature, including all low value ones, are completed. A project that yields benefit earlier starts paying for itself earlier as well. Earlier delivery of features ensures the project reaches its self-funding point earlier and therefore consumes less cash.
Measure value delivered (outcomes), not secondary artifacts (outputs)
(Some) Metrics really matter. The most practical method of measuring project status asks one thing before all others, “Was this increment of functionality accepted by the customer?” Following the rules of Agile, the increment is “Done,” if the code, tests, documents and everything needed for release was completed within the iteration. If it meets the customer’s intent, value was delivered. Since the team is getting confirmation at least once a month (preferably every two weeks), the risk of the project deviating far from the “happy path” of customer needs and promised ROI is small.
Why Agile’s early and frequent deliveries matter so much:
Uncertainty is inherent and inevitable in software development processes and products. – Ziv’s Uncertainty Principle
For a new software system, the requirements will not be completely known until after the users have used it.
– Humphrey’s Requirements Uncertainty Principle
It is not possible to completely specify an interactive system. – Wegner’s Lemma
Fail fast to stop projects that waste money
The ability to “fail fast” is another key benefit of Agile. While it doesn’t sound like a wonderful thing, fast failing beat the long and slow kind every time? Empirical measures of project status and value delivered are far less ambiguous and subjective because they reflect value actually accepted by the customer. Projections of a project’s ROI can be based on historical actual. “Failing fast” allows us to fix or kill a bad project long before sunken investment has grown to a huge write-off.
2. Use Lean to strip away waste
Lean manufacturing practices like the Toyota Production System have revolutionized the modern production of goods. Lean focuses on value to the customer, removing all waste (effort that doesn’t add customer value) and optimizing processes for efficiency and quality. Lean processes let workers pull in work just in time and eschews queues and inventory in all its forms, including work in progress. In order to reduce cycle times, Lean emphasizes cross-functional teams performing tasks in parallel, rather than specialization of labor and performing tasks in sequence.
One of the quickest and easiest ways we can deliver more value at less cost is to invest in developing only the right things (and don’t waste money developing the wrong things). Standish Group’s Industry survey indicates that 64% of the features in the average software application are rarely or never used.That means over half the effort, cost, and maintenance that goes into our average projects is waste! Just imagine the jobs you could save and the investments you could fund from a 50% reduction in effort for value delivered!
3. Rebalance your project portfolio at minimum cost and disruption: Agile Portfolio Management
In order to successfully adopt an effective Agile portfolio management and steering process, an organization can implement a number of immediate changes:
Cut the business case requirements to the essential items
For any given project, a high-level business case is usually good enough to compare its ROI to projects in progress or in your backlog. Keep in mind that a business case is a balance between cost and benefit over a specific time interval. Developing the precision of one side (usually cost) way beyond the precision of the other doesn’t improve the business case.
Fast-track projects that promise incremental deliveries with quick ROI
Avoid making big high-stakes project bets whenever possible. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t undertake ambitious programs, but collaborate with customers to turn big projects into a series of more measurable increments that will have lower risk and higher yield. After the team and customer have shown the ability to deliver value, scale up and accelerate velocity as needed.
Reconsider the portion of the budget your organization calls non-discretionary
In most organizations “keep the lights on” Operating Expenses can account for half to three quarters of the technology budget. This portion of the budget typically isn’t examined as aggressively as Capital Expense investment opportunities, so it hides waste and returns less value than it should. We’ve been able to show customers that 30-40% of their IT budget slated as non-discretionary Operating Expense is actually discretionary.
How do you know when you have an effective Agile portfolio management culture?
Here are a few basic traits you should see:
• Failing projects get fixed fast or killed.
• Some projects end early because the business case is no longer compelling to continue.
• Your organization knows the relative worth of its pipeline of projects, and it can assert that projects in process are more valuable than those in the backlog.
Reprogram the lowest performing 10% of your budget, at minimum, every two years
Ask the business unit leadership to identify the least valuable expenditures in your technology budget to allocate it to higher yield initiatives. This process will help you deliver more value and will have a positive cultural impact by demonstrating that the organization is committed to aggressively managing the portfolio for value delivery. This is good for all functions in the organization.
Conclusion
At a time when budgets everywhere are being slashed, CIOs are under more pressure than ever to cut costs. In this paper, we’ve looked at examples of cost cutting tactics that don’t work and showed how they can even cause long-term damage to an organization. In contrast, we’ve also examined how using Agile and Lean principles can increase delivery value, while simultaneously cutting costs in a way that builds strength and innovation. With Agile and Lean, IT can help the business respond and adapt to the speed of the market, enable innovation and keep the business ahead of its competitors.
Some of the suggestions offered may be difficult to implement, and some may be beyond the control of the CIO, but establishing an Agile portfolio management process will help IT lead the company in strategic value delivered per dollar consumed. If IT can help align their customers around measurable value delivered, and set transparent measurable standards for investment allocation and performance measurement, the strategic value IT delivers to the company will be enormous and conspicuous.

“Bence, Kıbrıs Türk halkının Türkiye tarafından garantisi ön planda
yer alan hayati bir konudur. Bundan ne feragat edilebilir,
ne de fedakârlık gösterilebilir.”
Dr. Fazıl Küçük
Gırbız, Kıprıs ve Kıbrıs; hepsi de halkın dillendirdiği sözler. Hemen yakınımızdaki kocaman ve çok önemli bir adanın adıdır Kıbrıs. “Tarih Bilinci: ŞANLI 20 TEMMUZ: ÇUVALI BAŞIMIZDAN ÇIKARDIĞIMIZ GÜN”başlıklı yazısında Mustafa Köse’nin söylemiyle, “AKDENİZ’DE MERSİN SAHİLLERİMİZE YAKIN OLAN, İŞARET PARMAĞIYLA BİR YERLERİ GÖSTEREN BİR ELE BENZEYEN KIBRIS ADASI, GERÇEKTE NEYİ GÖSTERİYOR?”
Elbette Anadolu’yu; “Ben Anadolu’nun bir parçasıyım” dercesine... Gerçekte de öyle değil mi? Amerika, Yunanistan veya İsrail’in veya başka bir ülkenin askerî bakımdan Kıbrıs’a güçlü bir şekilde yerleşmesi hiç şüphe yok ki Türkiye için bir tehdittir. KKTC’de kurulacak olan üslerle, “Ne yapacağı belli olmayan Türkiye’ye askerî müdahalenin ucu gösterilmektedir.”
Türkiye’nin yurtseverlerine göre “Türkiye’nin savunması Kıbrıs’tan başlar”.
Anlaşılan yayılmacılar da, “Türkiye’ye saldırı Kıbrıs’tan başlar” diye düşünmektedirler.
“Kıbrıs adası, jeopolitik açıdan Akdeniz'de çok önemli bir konumdadır. Türkiye'ye yakınlığı, İskenderun ve Mersin Körfezleri’ni kontrol etmesi, Akdeniz'in doğusundaki deniz ulaşımı, İsrail ve Suriye'nin liman ve sahillerinin güvenliği, Türk boğazları ve Süveyş Kanalının emniyeti, Ortadoğu petrolleri ile petrol nakliyatı Kıbrıs'ın önemini arttırmaktadır. Yunan adaları, Ege bölgesi devamı, Anadolu’nun güneyden kuşatılmasını tamamlayabilecek yerdir.”
Kıbrıs, işte bu jeopolitik önemi nedeniyle, tarih boyunca çeşitli kavimlerin istilasına uğramıştır. M.Ö. 1450'den itibaren, Mısırlılar, Hititliler, Fenikeliler, Asurlular, Persler, Büyük İskender, Romalılar, Bizanslılar, Araplar, Haçlılar, Venedikliler ve Osmanlılar idaresinde kalmıştır. 300 yıl Osmanlılarda kalan ada, 1877-1878 Osmanlı- Rus harbinde, Osmanlıları destekleme sözüyle 1878'de İngiltere'ye geçici olarak bırakılmıştır.
Sanıyorum bu düşüncelerle gece yarısından sonra daldığım uykumdan sabah ezanından önce uyandım. Yeni düşünceler üşüştü belleğime. Gözümden de uyku dökülüyor. “Dökülüyor, ama bu bilgiler de dökülür gider eğer onların üstüne uyuyup kalırsan,” dedim kendi kendime ve kalkıp oturdum bilgisayarın başına.” Kâğıt kaleme sarıldım” derdik 15-20 yıl öncesine kadar…
Çocuğum daha; 1930’lu ve 40’lı yıllarda, Silifke ile Gülnar arasında gidip geliriz ailecek. Kışın Silifke’de kent, yazın Gülnar’da köy yaşamı diyebiliriz o serüvene. Çoğunlukla baba işçiliğine devam eder, biz üç erkek kardeş ana gözetim ve denetiminde, okullar kapanıp ekin tarlalarında anızda kalan başakların toplanıp kiralık evin bahçesinin bir köşesinde yığılıp üstü toprakla örtüldükten sonra Haziran sonlarında yayan yapıldak düşerdik yollara, 1222 m yüksekteki köye ulaşmak için 2-gün-2- gecede. Yollar toprak, motorlu taşıt yok. Olsa da taşıtla gidecek para yok. Yol öylesine yapılmış işte, ormancının, savcının aracı geçer belki diye.
Savaş ve kıtlık yılları: Bu Silifke-Gülnar gidiş gelişlerimizde Torosların doruklarına ulaştığımızda, özellikle Kayrak köyü tepesini aşarken gece vaktinde anamız gösterirdi güney tarafımızdaki denizin bir yerinde ışıldayan bir yeri, “Orası Gırbız işte!..” diye. Horoz seslerinin bile duyulduğu söylencesinin dilden dile dolaştığını da aktarırdı rahmetli anamız. Meğer orası bir adaymış, okulda öğrendim yıllar sonra. Daha neler öğrendim neler!..
“Burası Kıbrıs Radyosu Yayın Korporasyonu” diye duyduğumuz ve ‘ırado’ denilen, ama doğrusunun ‘radyo’ olduğunu öğrendiğim, sınıf arkadaşımın postacı babasının satın alıp evlerine getirdiği pille çalışan bir kutudan, Türkçe şarkılar da dinlerdik, ortaokul yıllarında.
O yayının bulmacasını bile çözüp gönderirdim, adımın okunarak istediğim şarkının çalınması için… Başka bir armağan verirler miydi hatırlamıyorum. İlkokul yıllarında da çarşıda kahvelerin duvarında veya babası tenekeci olan bir arkadaşımın evinde de büyükler açtıklarında dinlerdik tek Ankara Radyosu’nu. O zamanlarda Kıbrıs Radyosu diye bir yayın duymazdık.
Silifke’de çok Kıbrıslı vardı. Öğretmenlerimden biri de Kıbrıs kökenli bir ailedendi. Gırbız eşeği nasıl güçlüdür, Gırbız Zeybeği nasıl oynanır daha çocuk ve gençken öğrendim.
Bolu’ya bağlı, Köroğlu Dağları’nın doruklarında, ilin en az gelişmiş ve en az nüfuslu ilçesinin de Kıbrısçık olduğunu daha yeni öğreniyorum. Bu nedenle diyorum, kendim için;
“Öğrenciliği hiç bitmeyen bir eğitimci” diye. Üniversitede okurken Kıbrıslı Türk mücahit arkadaşlarımızla, Adadaki Rumların Türklere karşı yaptıkları soykırım türü zalimliklerin öykülerini dinledik; Kıbrıs konulu toplantı ve gösterilere katıldık.
Kıbrıs’ı 1571'de (Rumlardan değil) Venediklilerden alarak kurtaran Türkler, Doğu Akdeniz’i korsanlardan koruyarak Adaya 300 yıl egemen olmuşlar. Adadaki azınlık Rumlar ibadet etme, çalışma, kültürlerini sürdürme, dillerini konuşma konularında özgür bırakılmışlar. Ada 1878'de geçici olarak İngiliz yönetimine kiraya verilmiş. Rumlar, İngilizlere ve Türklere savaş açıp adayı hep Yunanistan'a bağlamak istemişler ve istemektedirler de...
Osmanlı Türk devleti ile savaşı sürekli bir mücadele halinde gören Rumlar; İstanbul'u ve Anadolu'yu kendi yurtları saymışlar ve öyle de sayıyorlar. Buraların yeniden ele geçirilmesi, onların en büyük amacıdır. Onlar; bu ereklerini yavaş yavaş hayata geçiriyorlar gibi.
Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti Mersin Konsolosluğu 15 Kasım 2009 Pazar günü KKTC’nin 26ıncı Kuruluş Yıldönümü Kutlama Töreni’ne hem öncülük hem ev sahipliği yapacak. Tören Mersin Cumhuriyet Alanı’nda saat 9’da başlayacak. Saat 10’da da Atatürk Caddesi’nin en sonunda Silifke Caddesi’ne kavuştuğu yerdeki, Müftü köprüsü kulağındaki binada bulunan KKTC Mersin Konsolosluğu’nda Başkonsolos Sayın Oya Tuncalı tebrikleri kabul edecektir. Aynı akşam da davetli protokol konuklarıyla bir resmî kabul düzenlenmiştir.
İki hafta sonra kutlayacağımız Kurban Bayramı için de tatil önerileri gelmeye başladı. Bunlar arasında KKTC’deki oteller ve sunacakları eğlence ve geziler de yer almaktadır. Özellikle, Girne, Gazi Mağosa ve Lefkoşa bu önerilen yerler arasında.
Kimi otel adlarının baş harfleri küçük, kimi özel olmayan isimlerin baş harfleri büyük harfle; kimi bilgiler tam sınıflandırılmadan yazılmış bir ‘gezi sitesi’ (öbeği) çıktı karşıma. Bir düzine otel arasından dördü KKTC’de ve hepsinin adları da yabancı. Birinin adına ‘Thermal Hotel & SPA’ da eklenmiş. Bildiğim kadarıyla, Fransızca ‘thermal’ ve İngilizce ‘spa’ (sıpa okunuyor) , her ikisi de Türkçede ‘kaplıca’ demektir. Neden ‘kaplıca’ diye yazmazlar acaba? Hele bir de ‘spa’yı cahilce büyük harflerle ‘SPA’ diye yazanlar var ki anlayana aşk olsun! SPA İngilizce ‘Subject to particular average’ kavramının baş harflerinden oluşan bir kısaltmadır.
“Kurban Bayramı Sanatçılı Oteller - Sonuçları filtrele” diye bir başlık var evlere şenlik. Sonuçları incele/süz/gözden geçir demek varken “ Sonuçları filtrele” demek ne kadar doğrudur siz karar verin. “Konsept: Yarım Pansiyon -Oda Kahvaltı- Herşey Dahil- Tam Pansiyon Plus” başlığı da ayrı bir salata. Burada yanlış kullanılan “konsept” yerine ‘seçenekler’ denip, “Herşey” ayrı, “Dahil”deki ‘a’ şapkalı ‘â’ ve “Plus” yerine ‘Artı’ diye yazılmış olsaydı sesimiz çıkmazdı. Hele bir “Ultra Herşey Dahil Oteller” sınıfı var ki, gidecek olsam bile gitmem.
“Ultra” yerine yazılıp söylenecek Türkçe sözcük mü kalmadı?
“En Çok Tercih Edilen Bölgeler (menu)” yazısı bir başka başlık. Parantez içindeki yabancı sözcüğün işi ne orada Allah aşkına? Ne de güzel düzenlemişler, ama ‘liste’ anlamına kullandıklarını sandığım,o “menu” sözü bir çuval inciri berbat etmiş. Turizmciler, otelci ve aracılar hiç mi denetle(t)mezler neler yazdıklarını ya da yazdırdıklarını acaba?..
Özlemle andığımız Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün dediği gibi,
“Ulusal duygu ile dil arasındaki bağ çok kuvvetlidir. Dilin ulusal ve zengin olması, ulusal duygunun gelişmesinde başlıca etkendir. Türk dili, dillerin en zenginlerindendir; yeter ki dil bilinçle işlensin. Ülkesini, yüksek bağımsızlığını korumasını bilen Türk ulusu, dilini de yabancı diller boyunduruğundan kurtarmalıdır.”
“Benim naçiz vücudum elbet bir gün toprak olacaktır, ancak Türkiye Cumhuriyeti ilelebet payidar kalacaktır!..” diye vurgulayan büyük devrimci önder Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, bundan 71 yıl önce aramızdan ayrılmadan önce şunları da söylemiş:
“Ben, manevi miras olarak hiçbir ayet, hiçbir dogma, hiçbir donmuş ve kalıplaşmış kural bırakmıyorum. Benim manevi mirasım bilim ve akıldır...
“Zaman süratle ilerliyor, milletlerin, toplumların, kişilerin mutluluk ve mutsuzluk anlayışları bile değişiyor. Böyle bir dünyada, asla değişmeyecek hükümler getirdiğini iddia etmek, aklın ve ilmin gelişimini inkâr etmek olur...
“Benim Türk milleti için yapmak istediklerim ve başarmaya çalıştıklarım ortadadır.
“Benden sonra beni benimsemek isteyenler, bu temel eksen üzerinde akıl ve ilmin rehberliğini kabul ederlerse, manevi mirasçılarım olurlar.”
Making You the Most Viable Next Hire Being flexible, creative and adaptable in today’s economy is the cornerstone to survival. The job search is no different and, with unemployment rising, requires just as much vigilance. One way you can keep your options open and make yourself even more marketable is by considering Consulting in addition to your quest for full-time employment. Often perceived as an “either-or” scenario, Consulting offers you just as many benefits as it does your “would be” employer:
Track record of Fixing Problems? Career wise, people typically fall into one of two categories: those who thrive on problem solving and the prospect of a new challenge –or- someone who is exceptionally good at steering the ship once it is on course. If the thought of fixing something that is broken appeals to you (versus has you thinking about reaching for the Tylenol), then Consulting might be an avenue to explore.
A More Flexible Interview Quite often, what a company needs is someone to tackle a specific problem, not a new full-time employee. Identifying this in the interview and being able to present yourself as the solution to their problem (at a lower cost), can ultimately create a job tailor made for you and your skill set. No one can compete against that.
Dating Before Marriage A consulting engagement can give you the opportunity to see if this company is a nice place to visit or a great place to live. The only thing worse than a prolonged job search, is ending up in a position that results in you being unemployed again in 6-12 months. Consulting lets you do more due diligence than you could ever accomplish in an interview.
“Consulting” on Your Resume To many recruiters, seeing “consulting” as your current role without any clients/engagements is just a way to dress up being out of work. But, with a list of key accomplishments at those engagements, you show that you are in demand, have more control over your search and are broadening your experience. The latter is extremely important if you are looking to transition industries.
Change Agent For companies looking to make some sort of change internally (and you should like this if you have a track record of fixing problems), consulting is a more preferred approach versus hiring a permanent employee. It is much easier to come in as a consultant, effect the course correction and then hand it off to the internal leadership.
Money Besides the obvious benefit of having income during your search, it also gives you breathing room to be more objective in selecting your next job.
It’s Easier to Find a Job When You Already Have One So much of what makes this true is that fact that when you are employed, you tend to be a bit more objective because you have a “bird in hand.” Consulting (in addition to easing that financial strain, which helps here) can provide the self-assurance that comes along with being employed, which can get whittled away while unemployed.
Presenting yourself as a viable consultant or full time employee isn’t mutually exclusive. Rather, they are simply two sides to the same coin. For the companies where you interview, this will only make you more viable and versatile in your eyes. For you, there is nothing to lose. The worst thing that happens here is you generate some income to inevitable financial strain of your job search. On the other hand, you might just find through this process that you discover your next career move.
Bağdat Caddesi
Gel de parmaklara hakim ol, yapma bir Caddebostan, Bağdat Caddesi nostaljisi şimdi!...diğer bir deyişle 'Karşı taraf' . Cok uzun seneler yazları gittiğim, son yıllarda ise her Türkiye'ye gittiğimde kaldığım Istanbul'un bir başka eşşiz köşesi. 1960'lı 70'li yıllarda köşkleriyle, bahçelerinden salkım salkım sarkan ortancalarıyla, billur gibi denizliyle, 'sayfiye' yeri olmasıyla meşhur Erenköy, Suadiye, Caddebostan.
Dükkanların az, ağaçların çok olduğu, bunca yıl geçmesine rağmen hala güzelliğini koruyan Bağdat Caddesi. On, onbir yaşımdan itibaren yazlarım geçti oralarda. Sokaklarda oynanırdı o zamanlar, öyle pek araba filan geçmezdi. Doyasıya bisiklete binilir, el birakarak gitmek büyük marifet sayılır Erenköy, Saskınbakkal, Göztepe bisikletle rahat rahat gidilir dönülürdü. Deniz için bazı sokakların denize vardıkları noktalarda bulunan kayıkhanelerden saatlik ücretle kayık kiralanır, kadın erkek kürek çekmeyi bilir, kayıktan denize girilirdi. Bazı gençler dalıp iskele ayaklarından midye toplar bazıları ise sığ kumda zıpkınla vatos avlarlardı. Sokaklardan dondurmacılar geçerdi o zamanlar. Simdiki gibi binbir çeşit ne gezer 'Dondurma, Kaymaaak' diye bağıran dondurmacının küçücük arabasında sadece kaymaklı ve limonlu dondurma olur, bazen ise çeşit olsun diye vişneli bulunurdu.
Caddebostan Plajı'nın yanı sıra bir de üyelikle girilebilen klüpler vardı. Marmara Yelken Klubü başta olmak üzere, Balıkadamlar, Caddebostan Yat Klübü ve İstanbul Yelken. Eğer bunlardan birine üyeyseniz veya üye bir arkadaşınız varsa bazı sporları yapma veya izleme olanağınız olur, voleybol, ping pong oynar, kıyıdan yelkenlilerin yarışlarını izlerdiniz. Denizin ortasında ise köfteciler vardı. Bunlardan aklımda kalanı ise mayomuzun kenarına sıkıştırdığımız parayla yüzdüğümüz, veya kayıkla yanaştığımız 'Fıştak'tı. Dönerken yüzülüyorsa demirlemiş kayıklara tutuna tutuna, dinlene dinlene yüzülürdü.
Akşamüstüne doğru herkesi bir 'piyasa' heyecanı alırdı. Saçlar yıkanır, bildiğımız ütüyle ütülenerek düzeltilir, ve (Bağdat) Cadde'ye binbir tur atmaya çıkılırdı. Bir aşağı, bir yukarı. Parkur ise genellikle Santral Durağı'ndan Saşkınbakkala kadardı. O zaman 'cafe' adeti bir elin parmaklarını geçmez, 'Borsa'da yer bulabilmek için hızlı davranmak gerekir, 'Divan' ise gençlere çok pahalı geldiğinden ancak hafif 'yaşı geçmiş'lerin duraklama mekanı olurdu. Hali varaba sahiakti oldukça yerinde olan birkaç genç ise bir aşağı bir yukarı arabayla giderek Mustang veya Corvette'leriyle gelene geçene hava atarlardı.
Geceleri ise açık hava sinemalarının keyfine doyulmazdı. Caddebostan'daki Ozan Sineması'nda genellikle Türk filmleri oynar, çıkınca biraz aşağıda, Caddebostan Maksim Gazino'sunun (MIGROS)yakınındaki büfe'de 'zümküfül' yenirdi (Bir çeşit sosisli sandoviç ) Yabancı filmlerin mekanı ise Budak Sineması'ydı (Şimdiki CKM). Yastıgını kapıp tahta iskemlelere yerleştirdikten sonra, çekirdeğini çıtlatarak izlenirdi filmler. Bazen bu sinemalarda Cem Karaca gibi o zamanın ünlü sesleri konserler verir, bazıları ağaç tepelerinden konser izlerdi.
Sonra sonra o köşkler birer birer yıkılmaya, yerlerin uzun uzun binalar dikilmeye, Cadde'deki evlerin yerlerini dükkanlar almaya, arabalar çoğalmaya, faytonlar yok olmaya, tekerlekli dondurmacıların yerini Algida'cılar almaya başladı. Ama ne mutlu ki tüm büyümeler, kalabalıklaşmalar rağmen 'Cadde'yi bozmayı başaramadı! O hala 'Cadde', İstanbul'un ,Türkiye'nin en güzide caddesi hala boydan boya yürümekten zevk aldığım, bir yerde oturup geleni geçeni izlemenin keyfini her yıl bir iki hafta yaşayabildiğim bir yer.
Galata' ya dogru...
The best way to improve health care requires physicians and other stakeholders
My honest approach for how to improve the care is to support a methodology such as being self-serving. I would like to start a program to introduce a software-based point-of-care tool for obtaining patient feedback. This real time information can be used with clients to positively impact the patient experience, nurse engagement, physician (soft skills) competence and overall quality. In my perspective the criteria for fulfilling the demand for finding the best way to improve healthcare is that it need be simple to implement, impactful and cost effective. The most impact to healthcare improvement will come from process improvement and healthcare provider recruitment AND retention. The by-products will be reduced cost of care and improved patient satisfaction. This applies to hospitals and private practices. Based on current studies and the economy, supplying adequate healthcare to the community is already tough and is going to get more challenging. Recruiting sufficient healthcare coverage will boost revenue and provide some improvement to patient satisfaction (wait time and access). However, failure to retain the medical staff will significantly hurt the outcome. With high demand and low supply, it will be well worth the time and money to present "we have the greenest pastures here". The method mentioned above may be called such as point-of-care through successful implementations that may turn in to popular key parts of process improvement. You need to have some feedback from the patients and the physicians in order to measure the processes that should be or are currently being improved. In order to achieve this you have to create the acronym HOSPITAL to help those in Healthcare recall the numbers of different types of inefficiencies in any medical facility. Those who have been exposed to Six Sigma and Lean have an appreciation for improvement opportunities and generally view things through differently trained eyes that can see within all those facilities. Publishing the results of the similar programs online may offer a transparent access to the consumers to monitor these inefficiencies. Welcoming any feedback relative to this and encourage your staff to consider this method or similar training methods for their teams will be highly critical for the outcome. We have to understand that it is impossible to solve a problem that we are unaware of. By providing even the most basic tools at the lowest level possible, these problems have a way of surfacing. While everyone recognizes that healthcare systems and organizations need to improve, I think not enough time is spent on firstly identifying the key stakeholders, and secondly properly ENGAGING them. I strongly believe that not enough time is spent trying to engage physicians in this process. In my experience too many of these "improvement strategies" are top-down decisions by non-clinical managers who failed to conduct any research into what physicians might want or what stumbling blocks there are/were to get them to adopt the new technologies. EMR/EHR/CPOE are prime examples - all of these require a breakdown in the normal activity flow of providers, as it requires them to either find and log on to a terminal or carry a bulky instrument. Almost all clients and colleagues I have worked with resent and resist those methods. And look how few MDs are part of Healthcare consulting firm teams. IMHO, I believe more energy should be spent engaging rather than alienating MDs as a first step, then doing the same for patients in order to get buy in from the two key stakeholders as I see it. I've always found that engaging these stakeholders on projects from the beginning results in more buy-in and most importantly, better recommendations/outcomes (a better product).

Mission of working together to achieve a common goal
Under extreme conditions, immense amounts of stress, and insurmountable odds, still set your mission to always find a way.
🎯 Than a successful transformation needs more than only a vision so THINK BIG, support the cultural shift, and imagine the future as if it were the present.
🤝 Customer Centricity goes beyond listening and understanding – it´s about challenging each other, co-creating value adding IT solutions, and delivering best-in-class services where quality, speed and cost are in balance.
💭 Agile is more than a set of tools, frameworks, and methodologies, it´s a mindset – with our new way of working we bring IT closer to the business and business closer to IT.
💡 One of my key takeaways: By leveraging the team power, always have eachothers back, we can achieve great things while sailing through one of the most liberating route to success.
As Darwin said: “It´s not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one that is the most responsive to change.”
To get to know the person better you are going to marry
To get to know the person better you are going to marry, you need to see how he behaves in these four situations.
1- How he feels and how he behaves when he's hungry? If he is not emotionally mature, the hungry person begins to behave impatiently and selfishly.
2- When he’s angry at something or someone I would observe carefully how he reacts, how he behaves. The anger of the selfish person and the anger of the mature person are different. I would say that the best indicator of a person's maturity is how he manages his anger.
3- What does he do when he feels lonely? Does he shot himself down to the world and run away from everyone everything and be offended by every single thing, blame everyone, or can he be friends with his loneliness and accept these states of life with a calm maturity?
4- How does he behave when he is tired? It shows whether a person is selfish or not, how he feels and behaves best when he is tired. The mature person who understands the importance of his relationship (affair) with always considering others well-being in mind, no matter how tired they are.
Rejected on a Job Application due to being Overqualified
Overqualified means that someone is performing the role at a higher level. That the person possesses a skillset more/over and above than what is expected in the role. Age has nothing to do with being overqualified. Someone who’s 28 could be overqualified too. When hiring, it is about finding person who is the right fit, for the right role with the right motivation who also fits with the team/corporate culture.
Questions to the person applying for a role at a lower level could be: ‘why are you looking to take a step back in your career?’ and ‘since the role doesn’t sit at your current level, do you realize that the compensation is not on par with your current package/expectations?
Have you ever thought about this?
In 100 years like in 2123 we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.
Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.
Our descendants will hardly or hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?
After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.
If we paused one day to analyze these questions, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all was.
If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.
Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. I'd change all this to live and enjoy the walks I've never taken, these hugs I didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.
And we waste it day after day with greed, greed and intolerance.

“The Mother’s Prayer for Its Daughter” from Tina Fey's new book, Bossypants ...
First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches.
May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty.
When the Crystal Meth is offered, May she remember the parents who cut her grapes in half And stick with Beer.
Guide her, protect her
When crossing the street, stepping onto boats, swimming in the ocean, swimming in pools, walking near pools, standing on the subway platform, crossing 86th Street, stepping off of boats, using mall restrooms, getting on and off escalators, driving on country roads while arguing, leaning on large windows, walking in parking lots, riding Ferris wheels, roller-coasters, log flumes, or anything called “Hell Drop,” “Tower of Torture,” or “The Death Spiral Rock ‘N Zero G Roll featuring Aerosmith,” and standing on any kind of balcony ever, anywhere, at any age.
Lead her away from Acting but not all the way to Finance. Something where she can make her own hours but still feel intellectually fulfilled and get outside sometimes And not have to wear high heels.
What would that be, Lord? Architecture? Midwifery? Golf course design? I’m asking You, because if I knew, I’d be doing it, Youdammit.
May she play the Drums to the fiery rhythm of her Own Heart with the sinewy strength of her Own Arms, so she need Not Lie With Drummers.
Grant her a Rough Patch from twelve to seventeen. Let her draw horses and be interested in Barbies for much too long, For childhood is short – a Tiger Flower blooming Magenta for one day – And adulthood is long and dry-humping in cars will wait.
O Lord, break the Internet forever, That she may be spared the misspelled invective of her peers And the online marketing campaign for Rape Hostel V: Girls Just Wanna Get Stabbed.
And when she one day turns on me and calls me a Bitch in front of Hollister, Give me the strength, Lord, to yank her directly into a cab in front of her friends, For I will not have that Shit. I will not have it.
And should she choose to be a Mother one day, be my eyes, Lord, that I may see her, lying on a blanket on the floor at 4:50 A.M., all-at-once exhausted, bored, and in love with the little creature whose poop is leaking up its back.
“My mother did this for me once,” she will realize as she cleans feces off her baby’s neck. “My mother did this for me.” And the delayed gratitude will wash over her as it does each generation and she will make a Mental Note to call me. And she will forget. But I’ll know, because I peeped it with Your God eyes.
July 6 1806, in the morning by Ludwing Van Beethoven~
"My angel, my all, my very self - Only a few words today and at that with pencil (with yours) - Not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon - what a useless waste of time - Why this deep sorrow when necessity speaks - can our love endure except through sacrifices, through not demanding everything from one another; can you change the fact that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine - Oh God, look out into the beauties of nature and comfort your heart with that which must be - Love demands everything and that very justly - thus it is to me with you, and to your with me. But you forget so easily that I must live for me and for you; if we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I - My journey was a fearful one; I did not reach here until 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Lacking horses the post-coach chose another route, but what an awful one; at the stage before the last I was warned not to travel at night; I was made fearful of a forest, but that only made me the more eager - and I was wrong. The coach must needs break down on the wretched road, a bottomless mud road. Without such postilions as I had with me I should have remained stuck in the road. Esterhazy, traveling the usual road here, had the same fate with eight horses that I had with four - Yet I got some pleasure out of it, as I always do when I successfully overcome difficulties - Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other soon; moreover, today I cannot share with you the thoughts I have had during these last few days touching my own life - If our hearts were always close together, I would have none of these. My heart is full of so many things to say to you - ah - there are moments when I feel that speech amounts to nothing at all - Cheer up - remain my true, my only treasure, my all as I am yours. The gods must send us the rest, what for us must and shall be - Your faithful Ludwing"
The surprising benefits of lemon!~Limonun Faydalari
This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!
Read carefully & you be the judge.
Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.
Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

Tıpta son yenilik, kansere karşı etkili! Limon, kanser hücrelerini öldüren mucizevi bir mahsul. Kemoterapiden 10,000 kat daha güçlü!!! Neden biz bunları bilmiyoruz? Çünkü bazı laboratuarlarda üretilen sentetik ilaçlarla birileri çok büyük karlar elde ediyor. Şimdi bir arkadaşına bu maili yollayarak limon suyunun kanseri önleyici faydalarını bilmesini sağlayabilirsin. Limonun tadı güzel ve kemoterapinin korkunç yan etkilerine sebep olmuyor. Multimilyonerlerin sahip olduğu büyük şirketlerin karlarına zeval gelmesin diye bu sır saklanırken daha kaç kişi ölecek? Bildiğiniz gibi limon ağacı, limon ve lim (yeşil limon) gibi çeşitleriyle bilinir. Bu meyveyi farklı şekillerde yiyebilirsiniz: posasını yiyebilir, suyunu sıkabilir, içecekler hazırlayabilir, şerbetler ve tatlılar yapabilirsiniz. Bir çok erdemleriyle tanınır, ama en ilginç olanı tümör ve kistler üzerine olanıdır. Bu bitki her tür kanser tipine karşı kanıtlanmış bir çaredir. Bazıları kanserin her türlü varyasyonuna karşı yararlı olduğunu söylüyor. Bakteri enfeksiyonları ve mantarlara karşı anti mikrobal spektrum olduğu, kurt ve parazitlere karşı etkili olduğu kabul ediliyor. Yüksek tansiyonu dengeliyor. Bunlar dışında stresle savaşan, sinir bozukluklarına iyi gelen antidepresan etkisi var. Bu bilginin alındığı kaynak gerçekten büyüleyici: Dünyanın en büyük ilaç üreticilerinden birinden öğrenildiğine göre; 1970'ten beri 20'den fazla farklı laboratuar test etti ve sonuç olarak limon ekstresinin 12 kanser tipinde kötü huylu hücreleri yok ettiği ortaya çıktı! Bu kanserler içinde kolon, göğüs, prostat, akciğer ve pankreas kanserleri de var. Kanser hücrelerinin büyümesini yavaşlatmada limon ağacı bileşenlerinin Adriamycin adlı bütün dünyada genellikle kemoterapide kullanılan ilaçtan 10,000 kat daha iyi olduğu gösterildi. Daha da hayret verici olan; limon ekstreleri ile yapılan bu terapi sadece kötü huylu kanser hücrelerini yok ediyor ve sağlıklı hücrelere hiçbir etkisi bulunmuyor.

Pakize Suda'dan
KASABA esnafından biri olmalıydı kocam.
Akşam, güneş batmadan
Dükkanını kapatıp eve gelmeliydi.
Evimiz mümkünse bahçeli olmalıydı.
Yaz akşamları sulayıp serin serin oturmalıydık.
Ben, orta boylu tıknazca, ev hanımı olmalıydım.
Cinsiyeti önemli değil, eli ayağı düzgün iki çocuğumuz olmalıydı.
Derslerine yardım etmeye yetecek eğitimim olmamalıydı.
Ama ara sıra ''Dersinizi bitirdiniz mi?'' diye sormalıydım.
Daha çok üstleri başlarıyla...
Yedikleri içtikleriyle. ..
Öksürükleri, aksırıklarıyla ilgilenmeliydim.
Yavaştan yavaştan çeyizlerini düzmeliydim.
Her ayın 15'i kabul günüm olmalıydı.
Ellerime sağlık, kekler,poğaçalar yapmalıydım.
İnce belli bardaklarda çaylar ikram etmeliydim.
Sabahları hırkamı omzuma alıp komşuya kahve içmeye geçmeliydim.
Patlıcan, biber kızartmalı,reçel kaynatmalıydım.
Akşamları özene bezene sofrayı kurmalıydım.
Kocam ajansı dinlerken ben lafa girmeliydim,
O, ''Sus hanım bi dakka'' demeliydi.
Böyle dese de beni çok sevmeliydi.
O uyuklamalı, ben bulaşık yıkamalı, çocuklar ders çalışmalıydı.
Bazen akşam oturmasına komşular gelmeliydi.
Öyle Haremlik selamlık gibi değil ama kadın erkek ayrı oturmalıydık.
Erkekler memleketi kurtarırken biz bütün kasabayı dilimizden
geçirmeliydik.
Herkes birbirinin kocasına, karısına ''Falanca Bey'', ''Filanca Hanım''
diye hitap etmeliydi.
Yanlışlkla bacağımız, göğsümüz biraz açılıverse
Yüzümüz kızarmalı,hemen toparlanmalıydık.
Kocam kırk yılda bir, bir tek atmalı,
Neşelenip bir hicaz şarkı mırıldanmalıydı.
Şehvetten uzak şefkate yakın bir cinsel hayatımız olmalıydı.
Gözümüzü birbirimizde açmış olmalıydık, öyle de sürüp gitmeliydi.
Harama uçkur çözmemeliydik.
Zaten etrafımızda evli barklı komşularımızdan başka kadın olmadığından....
Dükkanda çelimsiz çıraktan gayrı, öyle sekreter falan çalışmadığından...
Ortalıkta gidilecek bar mar bulunmadığından...
Mankenler bizim kasabaya uğramadığından...
Ve de kocam, efendi bir adam olduğundan beni aldatamazdı.
Tamam, abarttım biraz.
Belki de böyle bir aile yapısı örneği kalmamıştır artık.
Ama, acaba diyorum...
Buna benzer bir hayat tarzı beni daha mutlu eder miydi?
Kendim de dahil uçuk kaçık insanlardan gına geldi artık.
Kalbin vücuda kanı dağıtmak için kullandığı güce tansiyon denir. Tansiyonun ölçüm birimi mm/hg dir. Büyük tansiyon; Kalbin sol kalpten kanı vücuda doğru pompalarken kullandığı güce denir. Buna birinci veya büyük tansiyon da denir. Küçük tansiyon; Kalbin kan pompalanmasını bitirdikten sonra damarlarda ortaya çıkan basınca da ikinci veya küçük tansiyon denir.

Yapılan bilimsel çalışmalara ve Dünya Sağlık Teşkilatının tarifine göre yüksek tansiyon sınırı yaşla değişiklik göstermesine rağmen, orta yaşlı insanlarda büyük tansiyon en fazla 160 mmhg, küçük tansiyon ise en fazla 85 mmhg olmalıdır. TANSİYON halinde ve tekrar tekrar ölçümün sonucu verilenden daha yukarı rakamlar çıkıyorsa, hastada yüksek tansiyon var demektir. Yüksek tansiyon hastada çoğunlukla belirti yapmadığı halde, teşhis konduktan sonra, sebebi mutlaka açıklanmalı ve tedavisi mutlaka yapılmalıdır. Tedavisi uzun vadelidir. Tansiyonun %20'sinin sebebi bilinir. Sebebi bilinmiyor ve ortadan kaldırılamıyorsa, hayat boyu sürer. Başta şişmanlık olmak üzere, böbrek hastalıkları, hormon bozuklukları ve bazı kalp hastalıkları tansiyona sebep olabilir. Örneğin; hastada doğuştan böbrek damarı daralması varsa, ameliyatla damar ve açılır ve tansiyon hastalığı ortadan kalkar. Tansiyonda kalıtım önemli rol oynar. Fazla tuz ve kırmızı et yenmesi de tansiyona sebep olan etkenler arasındadır.
Belirtileri;
Baş ağrısı, Baş dönmesi, bulantı, Kulak çınlaması, Burun kanaması, Kalp ağrıları olarak sıralanır.
Tedavisi
Günümüzde tansiyon tedavisi her zaman için kontrol altına alınabilir. Az tuz, az kırmızı tüketilmelidir. Şişman hastaların kilo vermesi gerekir. Uyku düzeni olan stressiz, içki ve sigaradan uzak bir hayat tavsiye edilir.
Yapılan diyet sonucu tansiyon düşmüyorsa ilaç tedavisi verilir. İlaç alınımından sonra tansiyon düzene girse bile kesinlikle doktora danışmadan ilaç bırakılmamalıdır. Yüksek tansiyonun tedavisinde kan basıncı düşürmek için özellikle diyet uygulanır ancak tansiyon çok yüksek ve organik hastalıklardan kaynaklanıyor ise, diyet ve ilaç tedavisi aynı zamanda uygulanır. Bu hastalığın kesin bir nedeni ve tedavisi olmaması, ömür boyu diyet uygulamayı gerektirmektedir. Yüksek tansiyonu şişmanlıktan kaynaklanan kişiler için en uygun tedavi şekli kilo vermektir. Yüksek tansiyonu olan şişmanlar için ilaç gerekli olduğu durumlarda yine kilo verilmeli ki böylelikle ilacın etkisi artabilsin. Tansiyon, damar setliği ve beyin kanamasının en önemli sebebidir.
Yüksek Tansiyonda Beslenme İlkeleri
Şişman kişilerde yüksek tansiyon ortaya çıkma olasılığı normal kilolu insanlara göre 2 mislidir ve şişmanların %70'inde yüksek tansiyon görülür. Yedikleri fazla yemekle daha fazla tuz almaları da tansiyonlarının daha yükselmesine sebep olur. İşte bu sebeplerden ötürü kilo vermesi şarttır. Yüksek tansiyon hastalarının günlük tuz kullanımını en aza indirilmeli (5-7 gram) hatta mümkünse hiç kullanılmamalıdır. Doğal besinlerden; yeşil yapraklı sebzeler, süt, et, yumurta, işlemmiş besinlerden; kek, bisküvi, konserveler, hazır çorbalar, ekmek, yarım yağlı margarin, zeytin, peynir, turşu, hardal, ketçap, mayonez, salata sosları en çok tuz içeren besinler olmalarından dolayı az kullanılmaları tavsiye edilir. Tansiyon düşürücü ilaçlar az tuz kullanıldığında daha tekili olurlar. Alkol kan basıncı arttıracağından ve kilo almaya sebep olacağından kullanılmamalıdır. Sigaranın tansiyonu arttırıcı etkisi olduğundan kesinlikle bırakılmalıdır, böylelikle tansiyon düşürücü ilaçların etkisi de artacaktır. Fazla miktarda hayvansal yağ içeren besinler yerine bitkisel yağları (mısır özü, zeytinyağı) tercih etmek gerekir. Doymuş hayvansal katı ve sıvı yağlar yerine doymamış bitkisel katı ve sıvı yağlar tercih edilmelidir. Tansiyon çok yüksek değilse, fazla olmamak kaydıyla çay ve kahve içebilir.EĞER VÜCUDUNUZA GEREKLİ BESİN DESTEKLERİ VERİRSENİZ, TANSİYON SİZE ZARAR VERMEZ.
Düşük Tansiyon Nedir?
Sol kalbin kanı vücuda pompalarken gerekli basıncın düşük olması demektir. Bu basınç ölçüldüğünden ilk basınç 120'den düşük, ikincisi ise, 80'den düşük olmalıdır. Düşük tansiyona sebep olan nedenler çok çeşitlidir. Çoğunlukla insanın yapısına bağlıdır. Tansiyon düşmesi, ani ayağa kalkmalarda, beyin merkezinde ur olması durumunda, kalp adalesi zayıflaması, aort kapakçığının hastalanması gibi kalp hastalıkları söz konusu olduğu zamanlarda, böbrek üstü bezinin çalışması bozulduğunda veya hormon bozukluklarında meydana gelir.
Belirtileri Nelerdir?
Baş dönmesi, Ani bayılmalar, Terleme, Bulantı, Yorgunluk hissi gibi yüksek tansiyondaki belirtileri gözlenir.
Düşük Tansiyon Tedavisi Nasıl Yapılır?
Tansiyon düşüklüğü insanın yapısından kaynaklanıyorsa, bu hastalara spor yapmaları (yüzme, bisiklet sürme) aynı anda sıcak ve soğuk duş yapmaları, tuzlu ayran gibi tuzlu sıvılar almaları önerilir. Diğer nedenlerden kaynaklanan düşük tansiyon ise, nedenleri tedaviye yöneliktir. Örneğin; Böbrek üstü bezinin çalışması bozulmuş ise, bu durumu tedavi etmekle tansiyonda düzelmiş olacaktır.

Healthcare today and tomorrow from Captain's perspective
In the era of globalization, cut-throat competition is going on in healthcare industry, so healthcare organizations have to formulate right strategies at the right time and at economical cost for survival. The long-term success of a healthcare organization depends upon its ability to deliver best services with care at the right price and by maintaining financial health through operational efficiencies. As a healthcare professional with 12 years of experience in the sector I support the idea that the operational realization can be achieved only through successfully interfacing reliable computer based information systems that work in a harmony with the ideal current/future workflow throughout the organization. Today’s business may only get awarded for better clinical outcomes with reduced medical errors that will return to your organization as greater revenue. As a care provider highly dependent on accurate clinical information systems, which provide decision support and automate process tools capable of improving overall success and productivity. HIS vendor’s primary objective is to make the client prepared for not only remaining in business while facing the competition but to improve the financial outcome of the organization’s long term goals. The ultimate goal is to bridge the gaps between care giver and the encounters. This may only be achieved by the quality/accuracy of the data that you manage to gather during your everyday operations. In our day the biggest handicap is to learn how to eliminate the need to avoid unintended user contact and utilize the advance health information technology which provides better quality and faster interaction/ response times not only to continue growing financially strong but to extend with less force and results in fewer ratio of loss. Maintaining revenue integrity is the expertise to guide the business owners through but it is also supposed to be the care providers’ benefit while guaranteeing patients’ and healthcare professionals best benefit. Given that the effects of the financial trash hold in US economy annual healthcare expenditures are outgrowing, and the stakes are enormous regardless of the current economic crisis. But the critical point is to approach the dilemma from the perspective of the care provider since these high costs leave absolutely no room for inaccuracy. When undetected, most errors count against your annual revenue or long term limit on quality improvement. The way you invest misspent today can mean greater financial risk tomorrow. The complexities of clinically driven revenue management in healthcare, frequent regulatory change and continuous coding updates present intimidating challenges. In order to achieve the revenue integrity revenue consultants/specialists provide coaching in most critical fundamentals. To help the business office to send out to their payers the ultimate form and capability of efficiently transferred high volumes of claims in a timely manner once the staff verify for proper coding and accurate reimbursement. As a requirement, it is detrimental to maintain the ability to protect the patient data against any type of risk and abuse. By educating care providers in designing/building security in an experienced way can avoid patient information safety risks and claims submission mistakes while elevating their billing practices. Protection of the collected patient data should start with an analysis of possible threats, an identification of the costs of counter-measures and the decision on how security tools must be used on basis of a cost/benefit analysis. As there is no suitable product to be used by almost every solution, the healthcare IT management consultant’s experiences within the area offers a systematic approach how to implement adequate security in the healthcare enterprise. Since existing hospital access management systems always use point-to-point methods to implement integration, so they lack the support to complex hospital business processes and it is difficult to assure fluent execution of business processes, it is still difficult to adequately address revenue integrity due to the increasingly high number of changes in coding, coverage and payer guidelines, and be able to generate accurate claims without implementing and utilizing the most suitable software automation products. Otherwise it is only time and budget consuming for hospitals and medical system staffs. Fortunately the information technology is there to analytically guide the users through on the access management responsibilities, in addition to clinical others. In the year of 2009 still many organizations continue to struggle with manual processes. Auditing in paper based slow the process with limited reach in terms of the volume of claims reviewed as well as rules and edits applied. New electronic process solutions on the other hand focus on flagging unclean claims and identifying coding errors and more. They help the specialists to uncover duplicate files, gauge eligibility, or quickly review claims histories without referring on to the paper and give you the ability to track overpaid bills or duplicate bills which creates a significant financial difference. These solutions/software can monitor practices or providers over time however monitoring the efficiency of the data and manipulating the outcome may require further skills, which is especially critical in the age of electronically managed workflow implementations. As long as the vendors provide constructive feedback to their clients by upgrading the limits of intelligent technology since there is always plenty of room for growth and improvement to utilize the clean/accurate database. Once the demonstrative data stored it has to be filtered by the providers while understanding where the errors possibly stored. Software packages let payers equip their providers with remittance advice and reimbursement recommendations to assist in scrubbing future claims. With education on correct billing procedures, payers are helping to update their providers’ billing systems so future claims will not be returned unpaid. At the same time, the information that the provider gathers can improve payer provider relations by minimizing the friction and effort associated with deliberations regarding reimbursement rates. Revenue integrity technologies benefit those dedicated to improving their billing operation. As forward-thinking, organizations with the higher percentage of clean claims will ultimately lead to superior cash flow. However first to choose the right automation tools for the special needs of the organization, and installation followed by the integration with existing systems should be financially and timely well managed due to the risks of possible disruption or downtime. Furthermore, users in the scheduling, registration, medical records, billing departments should have to redesign their future workflows for electronic data input procedures and maybe apply customization to carry out an effective implementation. During the process of customizing/designing HIS products to successfully interface without distressing or necessitating major change to the rest rather than breaching the existing patient accounting system, the overall automation project requires successful implementation experience in managing account workflow. This support allows account representatives to focus on payer and guarantor follow-up while performing billing and collection practices. Best team with the most experience can guide the user to improve operational practice by creating business rules and workflow strategies to manage activities such as sending letters, attempting contacts and utilizing management reports. Once the business owner has the ability and knowledge to use the solutions in their best level of efficiency it will be easy to facilitate denial management by prioritizing and queuing accounts that need worked, tracking payer denials and automating your organization's denials response. Professionals such as myself better be proficient in clinical department workflows that are outside the business office therefore they can allow the provider to incorporate into their future workflow, improving exchanged information quality, timeliness and accuracy. As a final word, even though it is difficult, painful, and costly to participate in the process of developing and managing the health information system implementations due to the extensive numbers of subsystems/legacy systems along with the budgetary complications of the business process, overall the technology improves patient safety and service quality, saves time, provides higher accuracy rate, and helps the budget in the long run. Better control on the financial authority always means better chance to improve care quality. Erdem Asma, MSM, PMP
