Obituary
“Ben giderim adım kalır
Dostlar beni hatırlasın
Düğün olur bayram gelir
Dostlar beni hatırlasın
Can kafeste durmaz uçar
Dünya bir han konan göçer
Ay dolanır yıllar geçer
Dostlar beni hatırlasın
Can bedenden ayrılacak
Tütmez baca yanmaz ocak
Selam olsun kucak kucak”
– A poem by Aşık Veysel (1894 – 1973)

I AM YOUR CHILD COSMOS
NGC-6357 Cosmic Winter Wonderland, NASA.Gov
Poem by Bircan ÜNVER
Put your head up
Open your eyes to
The boundlessness of your heart
in the Cosmos
Just listen to the absolute silence
Then your heart will speak with the Cosmos
And, the Cosmos back to you…
ANNETTE HESLOP AND ENERGY4ALL
Below article by Harvey Tordoff in the United Kingdom provides a brief history and the pathways to, now it is called: Sustainable Energy For All | SEForALL
Initially, its short form used as SE4ALL in 2011, which is also one of the 17 Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals. In it, SDG#7 is specifically dedicated to: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
* * *
At the United Nations Framework on Climate Change conference in Katowice in December 2018 the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait rejected a motion to welcome the latest study. Australia remained silent. But despite national Governments taking a strategic stance over what they see as their own short-term interests, progress is made. I want to tell you about Annette Heslop, who (also in December 2018) was presented with an MBE* from HRH Prince William. An MBE (Member of the British Empire) is one of the highest awards given to British civilians, and was in recognition of Annette’s contribution to community-owned renewable energy projects.

BECOMING BILINGUAL
Part II of II– Interview | Part I
A. Becoming Bilingual
1. What was your motive to learn another language?
In early 1970’s in Turkey, learning another language was not a part of the public school system, in particular, in the elementary school and during the first five-year years. However, after elementary school, starting in the middle school, public school system offered one-foreign language option and once-a-week as 40 min. within the following three: English, French and German
I had chosen English. On the other hand, I realized that once-a-week and total 40 min. based on the memorizing vocabulary and reading The Smith Family story alone was not enough.

A BILINGUAL FIRST GENERATION IMMIGRANT
L.M.: A Bilingual First Generation Immigrant
by J.U.C.
“One language is one-person and two languages are two-persons”
Introduction
I have interviewed my own mom for this assignment, L.M. She was born and raised in Turkey, and as an adult became the first of her family to have legal residency in the United States. She learned English by teaching herself before she came to the United States, where once she arrived, the English language then became used in her daily vocabulary.

AN INDIAN LAMENT
Poems by:

The Premonition
My father told me of a fearful dream. He said:
“I dreamt I saw the greatest emigration that has yet been through our country.
I looked North and South and East and West and saw nothing but dust.
And I heard a great weeping.
I saw women crying, and my men shot down by the white people.
Oh, my dear children!
You may think it is only a dream,
But I feel that it will come to pass.”
