OLD-TURKIC DEITIES Rafael BEZERTINOV From his book TENGRIANIZM – RELIGION OF TÜRKS AND MONGOLS Moon (Ai). Ancient Türks’ mythology regarded Moon as a daughter of Sky God Tengri and Earth. They perceived the goddess Moon dually: She frightened them and at the same time they loved Her.
The night is darkness, when the malicious spirits emerge from all holes. The rituals and hypnotic sessions of witches were always conducted according to the phases of the Moon. At night the illnesses amplified, causing more often deaths at this time. Robberies, murders are done mainly at night. On the other hand, the Türks trusted the magic force of the Moon. She was a sole night lantern. To please Moon those born during full moon were given names as such: Aisylu, Aituly, Ainir, Aizirek, Ainaz, etc. [or Ainur! - Ainur] The three phases of the moon also had their signs. It was believed that at ‘ai naazy’ (new moon) the moon symbolized a young girl, pure and modest. At ‘ai toly’, ‘tuly ai’ (complete moon) Moon personified a mature woman – mother. In this period she is good-natured and favorable. At ‘ai karty’ (old moon) the Moon aged, became wise, but quarrelsome and malicious. Before death Moon reigned in absolutely dark night. In these three nights, it was believed, life and death meet together. The old Moon died, a new one was born, and together with Her a new life, new cycle, new round was born. I found this interesting text in The Tatar Gazette. Read more about Tatars, a Turkic people, on my Tatarstan page.

It's the only sensible choice, really.
The Battle Royale Strategy Test
Your Score: Shinji Mimura35 killer instinct, 64 independence, 92 sociability, and 64 rationality Shinji is an intelligent athlete with rebellious and freethinking tendencies catalyzed by his uncle who is a political activist. He joins up with his friends, Keita Iijima and Yutaka Seto, and the trio plan liberating everyone by blowing up the school where the administrators of the Program game are. Together they build a bomb and Shinji manages to hack into the government computer system. Their plan is ruined by Kiriyama who kills them, but is blinded in the explosion of the bomb.
 What do your scores mean? - Your strategyYour high scores in independence, sociability and rationality suggest high changes of surviving, but it's almost impossible to win without killing anyone. You would probably try to come up with an escape plan with a friend or two just like Shinji, but you would need his vast knowledge and an amazing luck to succeed. Should the circumstances force you to play, you might prove to be a dangerous opponent - but more likely is that your dream of getting out without having to kill your friends eventually results in your death. Chance of survival: 50% Your complete opposite is Yoshio Akamatsu. You are similar to Shuya Nanahara and Shogo Kawada.

Se on yhdestä filmistä, joka perustuu kirjaan, josta on myös tehty sarjakuva. Mä kerroin sulle siitä kun mä luin sitä sarjakuvaa viimeks Orustilla.
Tulevaisuuden Japanissa hallitus järjestää TV-ohjelmia, samaan tyyliin kuin kaikki nää Robinsonit ja Big Brotherit, missä joku normaali yläasteen luokka joutuu tappamaan toisiaan, kunnes vain yksi "voittaja" on hengissä.
Se tutkii miten eri henkilöt reagoi sellaiseen tilanteeseen. Jotkut menee mukaan peliin, kun taas toiset yrittää löytää keinon jolla kaikki voisi selvitä hengissä ... | |

Regarding my survival problem as Sugimura:
Oh, I know - since I'm a hetero girl, my crush would of course be Mimura (since I didn't know Kawada before), so I'd go look for him. And since Mimura would be more trusting and cool-headed, he wouldn't kill me thinking I was playing the game. Yay! And with my superior martial arts skills, I might be able to fight off Kiriyama in that crucial moment, so Mimura's plan would succeed. Yes!!!
Hmm, this also means that if Sugimura was gay and in love with Mimura, the story could very well have ended like I always wanted it to. I should make a Battle Royale yaoi doujinshi! | |

I'm like Hiroki Sugimura, the loner-athlete who goes looking for his runner friend (played by "Go-Go Yubari") and the girl he loves, who then accidentally kills him ... Maybe I should team up with you instead.
Ha ha, and then I did the test again, and I was Kiriyama!! | |

Mimura was my very favourite character in the film. <3
In the comic version, he's not as nice, though, but instead, Shuya is a much more interesting and sympathetic character.
