Jolly Jam 3.1 APK

The creators of Angry Birds, Rovio have launched a new fruity Match 3 game called Jolly Jam to the Google Play Store. The game is similar to the popular Candy Crush, where you have to a grid of candies, or in this case ‘jellies’, to connect together to eliminate them from the board. You can check it out on the market now, and there’s an APK below for those of you who don’t grab it from the Play Store.

Much like the puzzle game out there with a grid of candies series, this new entry in the franchise allows you to match 3 of the same jellies to get points and move to the next level. It's not too easy which makes you think cause it's not like candy crush where you swap candy. You actually have to find pairs and line then from corners.

A great game of jelly 'wipeout' that gives a different and challenging twist of matching jellies to wipe them out. The game itself has colorful graphics and effects that get you hooked on this game. Here's a quick look at the features of the game:
• Strategically match your fruit jelly in a box and battle monsters to advance to the next level
• Create epic combo attacks and boosters to unleash colorful explosions
• Travel across Jelly Kingdom, from Lemonade Lake to Chocolate Mountains and beyond
• Challenge friends and other Jam Masters worldwide
• Hundreds of succulent levels; with more planned in the future

So, let's play Jolly Jam! Just match jellies of the same color to complete a square or rectangle. On some levels, you even got to stay within the lines of a section of jellies.

While the game is free to download and play, be aware that it also contains in-game purchases. You can download Jolly Jam APK by clicking the download button below.

Sınav Son Bir Ayda Kazanılır!

Güncelleme: Geçen sene yazdığım bu yazı, 60 bin okuma ile blogun en çok ilgi gören yazısı oldu. Bu yazıyı okumamış olanlar için tarihi güncelledim.

Sınav, bir aydan oluşur. O da Mart'tır! Giriş için güzel bir slogan oldu :) Sınavın etkisini gerçekten hissettiğin, kalbinin bir tarafına yerleşip arada bir seni dürten 'şu kadar gün kaldı' diyen o ufacık heyecanı, hayatında sadece iki, üç kez yaşarsın.

En az 6 aydır sınava hazırlanıyorsun. Ya gerçekten çalıştın hakkını vererek, ya da çalışmadığını düşündün. Ama dışarıdan biri baktığında senin saatlerce kendi geleceğini elleriyle kazmak adına o masa başında oturup, tek bir soru üzerinde ne kadar ter döktüğünü görecek, okula - dershaneye gidip gelirken aklından bir soru daha çözmeye uğraştığını fark edecek. Ve, aynı şekilde sınavın sana her gün bir adım daha yaklaştığını değil senin ona yaklaştığını ve onun üzerinden atlayacak seviyeye geldiğini görecek. Bu dışarıdan bakan göz, şu üç haftada hepsini görecek.


Vereceğim tavsiyelere geçmeden önce Moral ve Motivasyon ile ilgili Sınava 3 Ay Kala yazısından bir alıntı yapayım:
"Her gün gördüğün, en az senin kadar iyi olan, denemelerde netlerinizin birbirini kovaladığı o sınıf arkadaşının düştüğünü göreceksin 'ben deneme çözmeyi bıraktım' hatta 'ben seneye bıraktım' cümlesini de duyabilirsin. Hiç şaşırma. Dersini dinlediğin rehberlik hocan, 'Gençler. Netleriniz neden az? Neden daha çok çalışmıyorsunuz, sınavı umursamıyor musunuz?' seslenişlerini yapacak sınıfa. İşte dediğim an tam bu an, kendine olan inancının etkisinden bahsediyordum ya, işte bu günlerde sadece ona sarılacaksın."

  Program

Bu tatlı süreçteki çalışmanı üç yoldan yapacaksın Soru çözümü + Deneme çözümü + Konu tekrarı.

Soru Çözümü

Bir ay kaldığında tamamen soru çözmeye odaklanmanı söylemiştim. İşte, şimdi net yükseliş zamanı. O, senin onlardan daha fazla çalışmana rağmen senden daha fazla puan yapan direkt soru çözen arkadaşlarını geçeceksin. Çünkü sen şimdiye kadar konularını sağlamlaştırdın ve şimdi ise soru çözerek yükseliş zamanı :) Ve aramızda kalsın, büyük ihtimalle onları bu süreçte geçecek, fark bile koyacaksın, bunu yapana kadar kimseye söyleme, aramızda :)

Soru bankası çözmeli misin? Kısmen, şöyle ki eğer bir konuda veya bir soru tipinde özellikle takılıyorsan direkt ondan soru çözebilirsin. 
Soru bankasını kullanabileceğin en güzel yöntem genel tekrar manasında bir dersin her konusundan birer test çözebilirsin, sorular bir tık daha zor olabilir önceki çözdüklerine göre. Her gün deneme çözümünden sonraki çalışmanda bir dersi tekrar edebilirsin mesela, bu çalışma çok faydalıdır ;)

Deneme

Hem insan hem de öğretmen olarak tanıdığım sayılı insanlardandır geometri hocam. Bana bir tavsiye vermişti ki sınava hazırlananların %99'unun asla yapmadığı bir şeydi. Belki de bu yüzden %1'lik dilime girebildim, kim bilir? :) 

Branş denemelerini de özellikle bir alandaki hızını - netini yükseltmek için ve genel tekrar yapmak için günlük 1 denemenin dışında kalan zamanda çözebilirsin. Ben çözmüş müydüm? Evet :)

Konu Tekrarı

Bugünden itibaren çalışmadığın konu varsa ona çalışman sana kâr değil misliyle zarar getirir. Çünkü bugün soru çözme günüdür. Bunu bu kadar kesin söyleyebiliyorum çünkü ben ilk senemde 1 ay kalana kadar hiç sosyal bakmamıştım. 5. hafta ile 3. hafta arasında 2 hafta sadece sosyal çalıştım. Bir gün gece boyunca (wc-atıştırma hariç) aralıksız 11 saat tarih çalıştığımı hatırlıyorum, öğleyin 12de uyumuştum :) Ama ne oldu? Diğer dersleri unuttum ve vaktimi boşa harcadım. Hüsran oldu tabi ^^ O yüzden bunu yapma. Bitirmediğin branş varsa da bakma, aynı şekilde. Şuana kadar çalıştığın konulara soru çözerek hakim olmalısın. Hepsini bitirdiysen tebrik ederim :)

Konu tekrarı ile ilgili yine Sınava 3 Kala yazısından alıntı yapacağım:
"... Böyle bir tekrar yaparsan, hem dersten sıkılmazsın, hem de çok pratik bir hatırlatma yapmış olursun. Şu formülü kurabiliriz; TEKRAR = Konuya 5 Dakika Göz Atma + Bir kaynaktaki soruları bitirme
İşte, kalan kısıtlı zamanda kullanabileceğin en etkili tekrar yöntemi. Bunu, bitirdiğin her konu için yap. Ve arada bir aklına gelsin, hmm "Hücre Bölünmeleri" ben bu konuda Mitozun Mayozdan farkını hatırlıyor muyum, bir düşüneyim, pek değil, o zaman bu konudan soru çözeyim. Biyoloji çalışırken bunu fark edebilirsin, anında birkaç test çöz, en güzel tekrar işte."

Lys Çalışması

Lys çalışması adına, haftada bir veya gün yapacağın bu konu tekrarlar testlerinin arasına LYS'den bitirdiğin konuların testlerini de sıkıştır. Çözemediğin soruların doğrusunu öğren. 16 Mart'a kadar bu çalışmayı da yapman, YGS'den sonra büyük rahatlık sağlayacaktır sana. Çünkü çalıştığın LYS konularını unutmamış, yerini sağlamlaştırmış olursun.

Çıkmış Sorular

Bu süreçte çözeceğin denemelerin arasında son 3 yıl kesinlikle olmalı, son 10 yılı da çözmüş olmalısın. 3 yılı çözmeden kesinlikle girme, ve 10 yıla ne kadar yaklaşırsan o kadar fazla puan almış olursun çünkü sınavda gerçekten önceki yıllara benzer sorular da çıkıyor. Aa, ben bunu çözmüştüm diyorsun, adam dört sene önceki soruyu almış, şekli ve sayıları değiştirmiş tekrar soruyor, şu işe bak :)
Bunun dışında, müfredata yeni eklenen konulardan ekstra soru çöz mutlaka. Onlardan soru çıkması kesin diyebilirim.

Umarım istediğini bulduğun bir yazı olmuştur :)

A blog comes to one in the dark

What follows the break wasn't going to be posted. I wrote it last week and decided it would be more effective to summarise on my Tumblr blog and then publicise on Twitter. To my surprise, bar one message of support, there was no response. The silence was instructive.

In the early days of February 2015, 3AM Magazine advertised an event in London to celebrate "the recent boom in online criticism" and to encourage readers "to get involved in the growth of digital literary culture". My interest was piqued, as the subject is close to my heart and is rarely discussed in fleshy public, for the obvious reason that those who produce it must do so from their disparate basements in Terre Haute.

Indeed, the event was to be held in big London and I was unable to attend. Still, as I have been writing online about books, mainly on blogs, since as recently as 1996 and am familiar with many of those who do the same, I was keen to see who was speaking and what the reference points might be. It turned out I had heard of one of the six panellists and knew one other personally.

It was to discuss:

• the implications for contemporary literary culture 
• the distinctive challenges and opportunities facing the new generation of online literary journals 
• the democratisation of criticism in the online landscape: in a world without journalistic gatekeepers, can anyone be a critic? 

While the first is so vague as to mean nothing and the second as euphemistic as a corporate press release (challenges = redundancies, opportunities = bend over), the third is very clear. The third is ... well, everything. This is because the panel includes only one person who is a recognised literary critic and not one who has ever been a literary blogger, that is, not one who might be able to talk about the form from the inside.

As soon as I read about the panel, I tweeted a question concerning this curious situation. There was, after all, still time to invite a London literary blogger for their insight. I didn't get an answer. The only response was for a well-known US critic to favourite the tweet. However, Flowerville noted what I had overlooked wearing my blogger-goggles:

As you can see, there were no responses to this either.

On the day itself, the event was publicised on a webpage and the link retweeted by a panellist.

Once again I tweeted, only this time with the bitter assumption that nobody would respond. I was then blocked by the same panel member. Still, while there was no woman on the panel, at least naked female mannikins were on display.


While this is a storm in an espresso cup, it is exemplary of a distinct campaign of middle-class revanchism in British culture. Where amateurs and outsiders had dominated, professionals are taking their place. The great Morrissey, the finest bloom of the flowering of postwar British culture borne on a welfare state won by an organised and compassionate working class, has noticed this in his own field:

In the guise of serving the public, the Brit Awards have hijacked modern music in order to kill off the heritage that produced so many interesting people, to such a degree that we could not imagine anyone who has ever truly affected the course of British music to be on stage at the 02 collecting a deserved award.

The major music TV event of the year is now about marketing "acts" manufactured by talent managers, business managers, brand managers.

With this in mind, note the labels given to each of 3AM's panellists: Co-editor in Chief, Contributing Editor, Senior Editor, Founder and Editor, Novelist and Publisher, Digital Publisher. The titles are impressive and I have no argument with them or the talent and hard work they signify, but contrast them with the titles of those who laid the foundations for online criticism's "recent boom": plain Blogger. It appears we must now submit to a professional hierarchy. So in addition to there being not one woman and not one blogger on the panel, there is not one person without a CV of such note; not one non-professional, working-class voice. Blogging for years and building a reputation and audience counts for nothing. Again.

Of course, this person could get involved, sans CV and anonymously, that is, they could perhaps buy a train ticket, travel to the big city and spectate. They might not be blocked and might even be allowed to speak, if invited, but what they say would always remain secondary, always dependent on permission from the high table.

Sugar Aping

This is an unexpected consequence of online literary magazines usurping the space blogs once occupied, and rather than reinventing the form, they mimic the broadsheet book pages from which the internet was meant to liberate us. For many years writers developed an audience relying solely on the quality of their work. For them, as it was for TS Eliot, criticism is as natural as breathing, or indeed necessary for breath. Blogging was about paying attention, exploration, discovery and sharing. Now editorial patronage is key and replaces radical possibilities with gatekeeping.

The host of this event, 3AM Magazine, is a prime mover. The step change became clear to me when the "Reviews editor" launched a personal attack on three unnamed but clearly identifiable working-class writers whose work is "exclusively online (their writing is so tedious that no editor would commit it to print)" under the cover of a review that didn't even address the book's contents with anything like good faith. In fact, it repeated the condescension and misrepresentation the book drew in the corporate print media. The reviewer's bracketed aside, even if it were true (and there are numerous examples to refute it), demonstrates the instinct to appeal to professional authority, where power and money relieves any need for justice. As 3AM's pages lack a comments section, attempts to challenge such calumny are stifled at birth. So much for "getting involved".

Later, the same reviews editor posted another review of a debut novel summarised as "an awful book", one that prompted the reader to want "to hurl the fucking thing across the room" (James Wood this is not). The author of the novel subsequently tweeted the news that there may be more than literary motivations at work here (though on his side such motives might have been strongly at work in relation to a certain "full-length novel" not having yet seen the light of day). When concerns were put to the "Editor in chief" that privileged access to its pages was being used to pursue undeclared personal grudges, the reply came back that 3AM was "open to different points of view" (apart from those that might appear in a comments facility I suppose) and indeed any requests for basic decency, honesty and fairness would only encourage more such reviews "for the sheer hell of it".

As Flowerville has shown elsewhere, this policy isn't restricted to 3AM Magazine, and has nothing to do with democracy, pluralism or a commitment to free speech but the very nature of "dudenation" editorial policy; one must share the "gatekeeper's mostly adolescent male mind" for the sheer hell of being published. The aspiring critic must realise that compromising to further a career – even one as lacking in reward as writing online – and thereby winning the protection and authority of a magazine title, means compromise becomes that career.

It would be too much to expect this state of affairs to prompt a Peter Oborne-like gesture from the co-editor in chief who blocked me, let alone a document like the September Statement produced by professional philosophers concerning the behaviour of an influential academic. But internet literary magazine culture certainly requires serious attention to renew its radical beginnings.

Oh, and by the way, guess who 3AM is publishing now.


An indication to the cause

Why is this happening? While I have argued that it is down to professionals moving into the domain where amateurs flourish, it is also perhaps a product of literature and how we respond to it. This is suggested in volume two of My Struggle, in which Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about how, as a young man, poems never opened themselves to him: "When I approached them I felt like a fraud, and I was indeed always unmasked, because what they always said as well, these poems, was: Who do you think you are, coming in here?". Not knowing how to open poetry, he felt a judgment had been passed and his literary dreams were pathetic mirages on the horizon: "I was an ordinary man who would live an ordinary life and find meaning where I was, nowhere else". One alternative, he explains, is to deny your feelings and "to stay afloat in that world without literature ever opening up to you".

You could write a whole dissertation about Hölderlin, for example, by describing the poems, discussing what they dealt with and in what ways the themes found expression, through the syntax, the choice of words, the use of imagery, you could write about the relationship between Hellenic and Christian modes, about the role of the countryside in his poems, about the role of the weather, or how the poems relate to the actual politico-historical reality in which they had arisen, independent of whether the main emphasis was on the biographical, for example, his German Protestant background, or on the enormous influence of the French revolution. You could write about his relationship to other German idealists, Goethe, Schiller, Hegel, Novalis, or the relationship to Pindar in the late poems. You could write about his unorthodox translations of Sophocles, or read the poems in light of what he says about writing in his letters. You could also read Hölderlin’s poetry with reference to Heidegger’s understanding of it, or go one step further and write about the clash between Heidegger and Adorno over Hölderlin. You could also write about the whole history of his work’s reception, or of his works in translation. It was possible to do all of this without Hölderlin’s poems ever opening themselves up. The same could be done with all poets, and of course it has been.   (Translated by Don Bartlett)

This is surely the experience of so many of us seeking to deal with the judgment literature passes down. Many of us have accepted fate and sought to stay afloat in denial. (Some are so floaty that they are invited onto panels.) But I have never been able square admiration for such scholarship with the fact of literature, the utter remove onto which writing sometimes opens, something that I sense opening in Knausgaard's own work despite the ostensibly banal, terrestrial focus. How is such work possible and why does criticism avoid this space? How can it indeed approach the void opened by its own practice?


Reinvention

One answer is for criticism to seek to literature in criticism itself. That is, to seek the space in which critical writing opens onto this remove. This is how the online literary magazine might be reinvented. I have a dream in which the content of such a site is determined by constraints, as in Lars Iyer's Dogma, in which Lars and W. constrain the writing of conference papers: Dogma is spartan (don't use quotations). Dogma is full of pathos (rely on emotion). Dogma is sincere (speak with seriousness). There are many others. I have a dream in which this magazine has only a homepage, with two or three discrete columns, each one written by a different person but each discussing the same subject, the same thinker, the same event, the same poem, the same book. The focus would then be on the subject and the quality of writing and each writer would be writing beside and against their fellows in the same space.

A similar project was pursued by Maurice Blanchot with the Revue Internationale, a failed utopia described here by the same Lars Iyer, in which "total critique" was the goal. Perhaps it is inevitable that such attempts lead to a neutralising blandness, if not also to 3AM's reactionary hit pieces. So instead, I would recommend those of you who share Knausgaard's experience to pursue your own work on a solitary or small group blog with a focus on truth and necessity rather than reception, to seek your own identity as a writer, to wait for literature to open, however long and lonely the journey; to lie down in the dark and, like Beckett's narrator, listen. A blog comes to one in the dark. Imagine.

In daylight, we can all then watch wide-eyed as the literary internet is otherwise expropriated, with the events such as Literature 2.0 providing a fig-leaf for the banality and careerism to come.

Albertine Asleep

For a short time, I stayed up most of the night. In the long summer months between years at school – my guess is 1978 – there was no all-night radio let alone all-night television. Instead I would listen to the BBC World Service on unreliable Medium Wave reception. One night around two in the morning, an actor with a mellifluous voice read an extract from what I now know as Swann's Way. This was before Terence Kilmartin had updated Scott Moncrieff's original translation.

Next day, as I played football in the local park, I told my friends of this book that spent half an hour to describe someone (Swann) ringing a doorbell. Inside, however, my amused tone was tempered. Secretly, I was impressed. The following week there was an extract from another part of the novel, of which I have no memory, and in the third and final week, he read the section known as Albertine Asleep (which Anne Carson has had some fun with recently). And I taped it. The tape still exists.

Russian Children's Magazine: Komsomol " Veselye Kartinki " (1964) (part 2)

Part two of my post about this 1964 Russian children's magazine. Today I want to share a great comic strip that was in this issue. It reminds me a great deal of Tin Tin but is even more of a fantasy adventure.

Who knew that the Russians sent both kids and dogs into space?

There is something illogical about what the boy is doing but I can't quite put my finger on it....

Another triumph for the Soviet space program. I do wonder a little about the parachute return that leaves the rocket sitting upside down in the ground on its point. Oh well, last of this magazine in the next posting.
