The sales of residential properties in Turkey mark growth with almost 40% on an annual basis in April, according to official data. The current trend continues, despite the high borrowing costs and falling prices.
The road is also caused by the influence of the intepeca of the foreigners, especially the children, who have twice as many people living in the dwelling houses.
Household sales increased by 38.8% in April to 133,058 years, compared to 95,863 a year ago, according to the Statistical Institute of Turkey (ТurkЅtаt).
Annual sales accounted for 113.7%, 25.1% and 20% respectively in December, January and February.
This month, the authorities announced several measures to increase the sales of housing and reduce the falling prices, which are almost 100% higher.
The largest city in Turkey, according to the population of Istanbul, has the highest share of 19.8%, or 26,330 home sales last month. It is followed by the capital Ankara with 12,195 sales and the province of Izmir with 8,459, with shares of 9.2% and 6.4% respectively.
From January to April, sales increased by 26.2% to 453,121 properties, despite high borrowing costs.
For the first time, start in the standings
Foreigners’ sales increased by 58.1% on an annual basis last month to 6,447 units, according to ТurkЅtаt. The first citizens started the list in April for the first time, after which the increase in the number of properties on the property increased by 186.6% on an annual basis to 11.

Singer Mark Orlov – about 5 key points that you need to know about if you wanted to win people over and lead them with you in front of WomanHit.ru.
The skill of self-presentation is one of the most important for anyone who claims to be successful. This applies not only to your career, but also to your personal and social life. Here are 5 key points that will help win over people and lead them with you.
1. Smile
A sincere smile is one of the most attractive features of a person. It can literally light up the space around you, creating a positive atmosphere and making people feel at ease and at ease in your presence. Even in this age of masks, a smile that reaches the eyes is a key part of the first impression and conveys warmth, kindness, and empathy. Smiling with your eyes as well as with your mouth can help you come across as sincere and trustworthy. To give the other person a smile, think of something that fills you with joy.
2. Eye contact
Establishing eye contact the first time you meet a person or even an audience is key. Wandering eyes are often perceived as unfriendly and give the impression that you are trying to find someone more interesting to talk to. Looking at the floor can make you seem insecure, and moving your gaze up and down the other person’s body can seem evaluative.
Balance is key when it comes to eye contact, and you should avoid staring fixedly at the other person. Use the “triangle technique” when you draw an imaginary inverted triangle around the eyes and mouth of the interlocutor. During a conversation, you can look from one point of the triangle to another every 5-10 seconds. This will make you look interested and involved in the topic under discussion.
3. Appearance
It may seem unfair, but the reality is that we all judge each other by their appearance. Regardless of your size, figure, or age, taking care of your appearance and wearing appropriate clothing will make for a good first impression.
Choosing clothes is a powerful communication tool when meeting new people for the first time. The good news is that even small changes can increase your chances of making a positive impression. These include matching your outfit to the occasion, using colors that suit you, and choosing your accessories carefully.
Personal care and hygiene also play an important role in our overall appearance, so don’t forget to pay attention to your teeth, hair, hands and nails.
4. Body language
Silence can speak volumes. We communicate with more than just words. Our facial expressions, gestures and postures also convey different signals when communicating with other people. Studies show that up to 60-70% of the information of human communication is formed by non-verbal signals. Despite this, many people do not think about their body language and are unaware that they are sending mixed or negative signals.
Paying attention to your body language will help you adjust it and make a great first impression. Whenever you meet someone new, keep this in mind:
– Avoid blocking the space in front of you by crossing your arms or placing your bag on your lap.
– Minimize fussy movements such as biting your nails, drumming with your fingers, or playing with your hair.
– Watch your posture, do not slouch or lean back in your chair.
– Show that you are listening by nodding your head and leaning forward slightly.
5. Punctuality
Punctuality indicates respect and courtesy towards other people. When you’re late for a date, business meeting, or family gathering, it lets others know that your time is more important than theirs.
We all know at least one person who can never be on time. Perhaps you yourself struggle with chronic tardiness. Taking steps to improve your time management will bring huge benefits to your personal and professional life.
Recordings of the sounds of the Northern Lights, showing that this phenomenon is much more common than previously thought, and occurs even when not observed, were made by Unto Kalervo Laine – a former professor at Aalto University in Finland and a specialist in speech technologies. He presented a report at the recent EUROREGIO / BNAM2022 acoustics conference in Denmark. For many years, Laine has been studying the sounds associated with the Northern Lights. In 2016, he published information that the recordings of popping during aurora borealis were related to temperature profiles recorded by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). These data not only demonstrate that auroras can be associated with sounds, but also confirm Lane’s own theory that these sounds result from electrical discharges in the temperature inversion layer at a height of about 70 meters above the ground. New examples of northern lights were recorded at night near the village of Fiskars. Although the glow itself was not visible at the time, Lane’s recording captured hundreds of “auroral sounds.” When the records were compared with FMI geomagnetic activity measurements, an obvious strong correlation was found. All 60 best candidate sounds were associated with changes in the geomagnetic field. “Using geomagnetic data that has been measured independently, it is possible to predict when aurora borealis sounds will be 90% accurate,” says Laine. His statistical analysis suggests an unambiguous causal relationship between geomagnetic oscillations and auroras.
At the end of March 2022, NASA experts shared plans to launch two rockets at an altitude of over 200 km directly into the northern lights to study in detail the processes of energy exchange between the Earth and outer space. This was reported by the NASA portal. Radiance is born on the border between the electrically neutral atmosphere around the planet and the interplanetary space filled with charged particles from the plasma of the solar wind, interacting with the geomagnetic field. The resulting luminescent glow from below looks like huge canvases of different colors and dancing light waves. But the picture is not limited to the earth’s spectacle – the interactions between the particles excite wider boundary layers of the atmosphere, and it is the impact of charged particles on these upper layers that interests NASA. The agency is preparing for today in Alaska the INCAA mission – Ionic neutral compound during active radiance. There is no clear boundary of the layer where the neutral gas ends and the plasma begins – there is a large boundary zone where the two types of particles mix, which from time to time collide and emit photons of different wavelengths. The color of the “sails” depends on the composition of atmospheric molecules: oxygen gives a pale green or red light, nitrogen – reddish or purple. The first rocket is planned to emit harmless vapor indicators – colored chemicals similar to those used in fireworks – before reaching a maximum altitude of 300 km. The vapor indicators will create visible clouds that researchers can observe from the ground, thus tracking air currents near the glow. The second rocket, which will be launched shortly after the first, reaching a height of about 200 km, will measure the temperature and density of plasma in and around the glow.
It provides more information on how man came to be
A baby tooth at least 130,000 years old, found in a cave in Laos, could help scientists find more information about an early cousin of the human race, according to a study published in Nature Communications. Researchers believe the discovery proves that the Denisovans – an extinct branch of humanity – lived in the warm tropics of Southeast Asia.
Very little is known about the Denisovans, cousins of the Neanderthals. Scientists first discovered them while working in a Siberian cave in 2010 and found a finger bone of a girl belonging to a hitherto unidentified group of people. Using only soil and sage found in Denis Cave, they extracted the entire genome of the group.
Then in 2019, researchers found a jawbone on the Tibetan Plateau, proving that some of the species also lived in China. Apart from these rare fossils, the Denisovan man left almost no trace before he disappeared – except in the genes of today’s human DNA. Thanks to the crossbreeding with Homo sapiens, remains of the Denisovan man can be found in the current populations in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Aborigines and people in Papua New Guinea have up to five percent of the DNA of the ancient species.
Scientists have concluded that “the modern ancestors of these populations were” mixed “with Denisovans in Southeast Asia,” said Clement Zanoli, a paleoanthropologist and co-author of the study. But there is no “physical evidence” of their presence in this part of the Asian continent, far from the icy mountains of Siberia or Tibet, a researcher from the French National Research Center told AFP.
This was until a group of scientists began studying the remains of the Cobra Cave in northeastern Laos. Cave experts discovered the area in the mountains in 2018 next to the cave Tam Pa Ling, where the remains of ancient people have already been found. It immediately turned out that the tooth had a “typically human” shape, Zanoli explains. The study says that the study of ancient proteins shows that the tooth belongs to a child, probably a girl, aged between 3.5 and 8.5 years. After analyzing the shape of the tooth, scientists believe that it is most likely Denisovans who lived in the cave 164,000 to 131,000 years ago.
Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient tomb during excavations in the ancient city of Nahowand in Iran. According to them, this may be the tomb of a Seleucid satrap, reports Tehran Times.
The tomb of the alleged satrap of the Seleucids has been discovered in the modern Iranian region of Hamedan. It was discovered by a team led by archaeologist Mohsen Khanjan. According to him, the tomb sheds new light on the notions of Hellenistic life in west-central Iran. The tomb is located in the area of Tepe Nakarechi, near the site where archaeologists have previously discovered an ancient Seleucid temple. Currently, the tomb is a round hill, about eight meters high, located among orchards in the southeastern part of Nahavand. Nahawand is one of the cities that the Seleucids built during their rule on the territory of modern Iran. It is known that they tried to “Hellenize” their possessions. That is why the Seleucids invited the most famous and skilled Greek sculptors, craftsmen, teachers, artists, historians and even merchants. Surprisingly, very few objects from the Seleucid era have survived, although they have ruled for almost three centuries. Therefore, the discovery of a hitherto unknown tomb can be of great help to archaeologists in studying the Seleucid period in the Iranian plateau. In addition, it can provide evidence of unknown burial rituals from this period of time. Earlier in the same area, archaeologists found other valuable objects such as bronze statues of Greek gods, a stone altar, the top of a column and pottery. By the way, archaeologists do not rule out that before the Seleucids came to this place there may have been an even more ancient settlement.
The Seleucids were a dynasty of rulers of the Hellenistic state founded by Seleucus I Nicator. The latter was the dyad of Alexander the Great, one of those close generals who divided the empire after the death of Alexander the Great. The Seleucid Empire has existed since 312 BC. to 63 BC Seleucus received Babylonia in 321 BC. and expanded its holdings to include much of Alexander the Great’s Middle East. At the height of its power, the empire included Central Anatolia, Persia, the Levant, Mesopotamia and present-day Kuwait, Afghanistan, and parts of Pakistan and Turkmenistan.
Intelligence officials will explain strange phenomena
The US federal government has taken the case of UFO sightings on Earth seriously and wants to know what these phenomena are and what their nature is. Representatives of the American intelligence have been invited to the US Congress, who will testify next week about what they know about this issue. This is the first meeting of its kind in more than 50 years, reports Express. “This will allow the public to hear directly from experts and intelligence officials about what is one of the greatest mysteries of our time,” said Adam Schiff, a congressman with the US Democratic Party and chairman of the Intelligence Committee. of the House of Representatives.
144 cases of UFO sightings
In 2021, the director of the US National Intelligence Service, Avril Haynes, published a report covering UFO sightings from 2004. The report states that 144 such cases have been documented. But only one of these UFO sightings can be explained by US Air Force pilots.
The report does not rule out the possibility that Russia or China have developed some advanced technology to explain the observations. Moreover, these phenomena are definitely not related to the testing of American military equipment. The report also includes descriptions of UFO sightings near US military training bases. That is why all these cases are attracting more and more attention from American politicians and the Pentagon.
Pentagon Special Forces
Last year, the Pentagon announced the creation of a new unit within the US Department of Defense to investigate data on unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The AOIMSG will focus on the detection, identification and attribution of sites of special interest in airspace, which includes military operations areas and ranges. In such areas, UFOs pose a potential threat to military pilots and national security. “UFO sightings are a very important issue. We strive to be as open as possible to the American people,” said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
Roswell and UFOs in Zimbabwe
The most famous UFO incident to date is the Roswell incident or the UFO crash in Roswell. This event took place in 1947 in the state of New Mexico, when an unidentified flying object crashed. Although the U.S. military says it is a balloon crash, conspiracy theorists believe the alien ship arrived on Earth with aliens.
Another high-profile event was the massive UFO sighting in Zimbabwe in 1994. At the time, 62 students from a local school between the ages of 6 and 12 watched a UFO fly in the sky and even said the object had landed and had contact with aliens. . But not all the children who went to school that day said they saw anything. Many skeptics in the scientific community at the time said it was a phenomenon of mass hysteria.
Do you know why the Pacific is called that? The Pacific Ocean is so named because, unlike the Atlantic, its waters are always calm. “Pacify” means calm and serene, and therefore quiet. The Atlantic, unlike the Pacific, is the source of devastating hurricanes. This makes it dangerous for both sailors and fishermen. A bit of prehistory In the 16th century, the explorer Ferdinand Magellan went on an expedition with a whole crew. He sailed from Spain, the year was 1519. The purpose of shipping was to find the islands of spices in the west and thus gain and gain fame and fortune. An interstellar object is located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The Spice Islands are the largest producers of such. They are still popular today with spices such as nutmeg, cloves and black pepper.
The date on which the Pacific Ocean was named was April 27, 1521. It was named so because of the calm of the sea at that time. Magellan set out with five ships, but only one of them returned. The year was 1522 and of the 270 crew members, only 18 survived. Magellan was not one of them, but that did not stop his name from being remembered as “The Discoverer of the Pacific.”
Magellan and his men believed that the Spice Islands were nearby. This happened just as they crossed the Pacific Ocean after a long transition.
Why is it called the Pacific Ocean? The name Pacific dates back to the 16th century. “Pacific” means calm.
How big is the Pacific Ocean? The Pacific Ocean stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean and is located in the middle of Asia, Australia and America. A few more interesting facts about the Pacific Ocean The Pacific Ocean is one of the five great oceans on Earth Of all the five oceans, the Pacific Ocean is the largest, oldest and deepest. The ocean is approximately 63.8 million square miles long. The Pacific Ocean is 35,797 feet deep. His godfather is Ferdinand Magellan. He named it the Pacific Ocean because the body of water was unknown until then. Magellan decided to call it the Pacific because the word means peaceful.
How many islands are there in the Pacific? Known as the Pacific Islands, the body of water is home to 26 islands.
The guests of the Italian TV show got into a fight because of the cancellation of Russian culture
Guests of the Maurizio Costanzo Show about the abolition of Russian culture in Italy fought live, RIA Novosti reported on May 16.
Guests of the Italian TV channel Tgcom24 got into a fight on the air of the Maurizio Costanzo Show, arguing over the cancellation of Russian culture.
The brawl took place between freelance journalist Giampiero Mugini and art critic Vittorio Zgarbi. Both acted in the program as experts. The second speaker insisted on the illegality of the ban on the activities of Russian artists.
“If a singer or conductor is not allowed to Italy just because he is from Russia, or if a Russian athlete is not allowed, then this is a form of fascism on the part of the West. This is unacceptable! These are people who have dignity and love for art! They must be protected! Always , until the end!” – said the expert and added that it is impossible to “punish” art and music in such a situation.
His opponent, in turn, noted that Russian cultural figures had a choice: to speak out against the special operation in Ukraine in order to continue working in the West. But, according to Zgarbi, no one is obliged to make any statements in such a tense environment.
A verbal altercation then ensued between the guests, as a result of which Mugini pushed Zgarbi, knocking him down and damaging the studio set in the process.
After the start of the military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, the West began to “cancel” Russian culture and ties with Moscow. Many organizations refused to cooperate with musicians from Russia. Thus, the Munich City Hall terminated the contract with the chief conductor of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra Valery Gergiev, and the Bavarian State Opera refused to cooperate with both Gergiev and the opera singer Anna Netrebko. The Royal Theater Covent Garden in London, in turn, canceled the tour of the artists of the Bolshoi Theater.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Moscow Patriarchate’s stubborn refusal to recognize the canonical autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church are two sides of the same coin – Russian-Moscow imperialism, which is politically manifesting as expansionism and “. As for the latter, however, we observe a change, especially after 2009 (the election of Father Cyril), as its hitherto non-historical theological-ecclesiastical and not at all canonically established content acquires political and ideological dimensions.
The current causal basis of the war in Ukraine, as well as the systematic falsification of Ukraine’s autocephalous ecclesiastical identity, are undoubtedly an expression of a common ideological component of the Russian political leadership and the Russian Church in challenging the legitimate right to independent presence. in the society of nations, independent as identity, language, sovereignty, culture and church, and on the other – the imposition of Russian ethnocentrism (ethnophiletism) and Panslavism at the political and ecclesiastical level.
Ukraine, unfortunately, is not only an example, but also a major geopolitical and geochurch field for the establishment of this ethnoracial pan-Slavic mentality through the joint functioning of the Russian state and church. And this is the first pillar of the tale of the “Third Rome”, as if there were once “first” and “second Rome”, and not the historically and canonically established “Old” and “New Rome”.
The Russian Church has always viewed Western civilization as sinful, cursed, condemned, and must therefore be rejected because it allegedly corrupts Eastern civilization and promotes other standards of living.
The second pillar is the terrible ambivalence of the Moscow Patriarchate between the West and the East. This is a sin against the Russian church tradition, which has always been an obstacle to the rapprochement of this patriarchate not only with the monotheistic Orthodox churches in the West, but also with other Christian churches in general.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and its ideological justification by the Russian Church mean just that: war against the West and Western civilization, war against the culture of freedom, legitimate and constitutionally guaranteed individual choice of each human being in order to re-establish the model of Eastern autocracy. , unsuccessfully tested in the recent historical past by forcing the decisions of some “enlightened power”.
After all, it is on this pillar, covered with the veil of Russian tradition, as a supposedly authentic expression of traditional ecclesiology, that social models of political and ecclesiastical totalitarianism are drawn, which is another specific link between Russian state and church identity.
On the theoretical basis of these two pillars, the Russian Church defines Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “sacred” act. The church question is supported by the ideology of the “Russian world”, and the political and military question finds its support in the “God-blessed people”, the “new nation”, the “God-chosen people”.
However, such a unified model of society, even dressed in the mantle of ecclesiology, undoubtedly leads to isolation, a sense of exclusivity, absolutism, division and ultimately to a dead end, even if it “excellently” presents as “sacred” a war that aims at the final destruction of the enemy ante portas!
This brings us to the point where the myth of the Third Rome has become a means of reviving the Cold War between East and West. A political leadership with theocratic concepts legitimizes an aggressive war, while an essentially secular church leadership justifies its positive attitude to this war with slogans such as “out of Europe,” “no dialogue with the West,” and “break away from sinful Western civilization.” , presenting them as his “spiritual alibi” for his negativism towards the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church.
However, we must all remember that history teaches and punishes. And the last instructive proof is the painful events of 1917 for the Moscow Church. They should in no way and for no reason be repeated as a punitive farce in the near future.

Russia no longer sees an equal dialogue in the Council of the Baltic Sea States.
The Russian Foreign Ministry reported that the principles on which this regional structure in the Baltic was created are not being observed now.
Russia has notified the members of the CBSS about its withdrawal from the organization, says a statement published on the website of the Foreign Ministry.
The Russian ministry noted that the contradictions within the CBSS had been brewing for a long time, and the partners of the Russian Federation sought to politicize the activities of the Council.
Plans were made to organize the work of the Council to the detriment of Russian interests, – thus the Foreign Ministry commented on the contradictions that had matured over time in the Council.
The ministry’s statement emphasizes the futility of restoring normal work in the Council against the backdrop of Russophobia and lies.
NATO and the EU as part of the CBSS refused to have an equal dialogue, – the Russian department explained the reason for leaving the Council, noting that the termination of membership in the CBSS will not affect Russia’s presence in the region.
