Living Life Free of Energy Costs
Posted by Devin Peterson on 3/22/2013 to News
What's the Problem and What Should We Do?
The entire world must soon make a combined effort to resort to an alternative source of energy, in all aspects of energy consumption, to prevent a severe global economic, health, and environmental crisis within the current and next generations. If a transition to more renewable alternative energy sources is not implemented soon then we will severely pollute our planet, destroy environments, and set ourselves up for an economic disaster when our current energy sources run out.
There are too many misconceptions when it comes to fuel and energy. Non-renewable energy sources are often very polluting, hazardous to health, costly in the long term, and will eventually run out (much sooner than many people expect!). The three most common forms of usable non-renewable energy are petroleum (crude oil), natural gas, and coal. (BP)
According to certain variables such as daily consumption of each source and the amount of reserves, each of these three non-renewable energy sources will be soon depleted and will have left a terrible effect on the environment, our health, and our quality of living.
We Will Soon Run Out!
Petroleum is estimated to completely run out in the next 39.5 years! These numbers are not based on 'junk science' as some might put it. It is based on a very careful calculation determined by the measured amounts of current oil reserves, global consumption, and predicted undiscovered reserves. Oil will last another 39.5 years assuming we happen to find MORE oil in recently undiscovered areas AND that our current rate of consumption doesn't vastly increase. (EIA)
Coal, although possibly the most health hazardous source of energy, has a considerably longer 'life span'. Based on the same calculation, coal will likely be available for another 265 years, assuming the rate of consumption doesn't change. Still, this estimate is not the least bit comforting, considering that oil and natural gas will run out much quicker, forcing coal to become the primary and only source of non-renewable energy. (EIA)
Natural gas is believed to be the safest of these non-renewable energy sources. It burns relatively clean, is not too expensive, and is somewhat more abundant than oil. However, there is an extreme danger in the process of extracting natural gas (primarily in the form of shale gas or coal seam gas). This process is called fracking (hydraulic fracturing), and causes natural gas to leak into underground water sources that lead to wells and reservoirs. The natural gas in the water poses health risks and potentially more immediate dangers due to the flammability of the mixed solution of natural gas and water. Homes that have been exposed to water wells contaminated with natural gas have literally
exploded or caught fire through the actual pipelines. (Charlez) Another problem is that there is still only enough natural gas to last for an estimated 60 years. (EIA)
Regardless of the many negative consequences of these non-renewable energy sources such as pollution, destruction of the environment, and serious health risks during the production process, these sources will run out and we will be forced to move on anyway! Why are we delaying the inevitable? Yes, the alternative is complicated, but still more simple than one might think.
The Reality of Non-renewable Energy Sources
Imagine living in a society which did not yet use energy for things like fueling our cars, heating and cooling our homes, running electrical appliances and so on. Then someone presented the idea of harvesting non-renewable energy sources. This process would consist of developing an incredibly large, expensive, and dangerous oil rig, constantly locating feasible and quickly decreasing drill sites, recruiting vast amounts of physically fit laborers who are willing to not only get severely injured or sick, but also die, and spend billions and billions of dollars and start wars that cost millions of lives over the rights to some additional oil sites. This process would also pollute our own environment which would cause significant long term health problems and destroy other environments completely.
*ADDITION UPDATE!: (3/28/13) - " The problem is actually worse than you've described. Not only is the rate of use for oil/gas/coal going up exponentially thanks to both population growth and the desires of developing nations to share our middle-class lifestyles, but also you begin to have problems when production of a resource flattens out, NOT when it is all gone! It's called peak theory, and will happen with oil/gas/coal significantly sooner than when it runs out. Who wants oil that costs $500/barrel? "
-Christopher de Vidal
The Better Alternative
OR, what if someone presented a different idea? This idea would consist of slightly changing the design of our homes that only cost an average of 5% more than a traditional design which is more than made up for in energy cost savings very quickly. (Lundin) It would also consist of developing self sustaining, safe, and relatively easy to build energy farms that depended on the location. For example, in Arizona, solar fields are an extremely practical implementation. On the coast, tidal energy can power entire cities. Areas of high wind can create a tremendous amount of power, and geothermal energy can be harvested practically anywhere to stabilize room temperatures of every structure without dramatic heating and air conditioning costs. This would allow the solar, wind, and tidal energy to be used for less consuming purposes such as running appliances, lighting, and heating water. Simple bio fuels like wood can be used sparingly in accordance to the design of the home with an outdoor or indoor woodstove. Non-renewable energy sources can be reserved for large-scale operations such as military applications, space exploration, and mass transit.
Developing these 'energy farms' is rather simple. Keep in mind,
practically anybody is capable of creating a small scale version of a solar field, wind farm and tidal/hydro powered generator. Applying these techniques on a larges scale is not significantly more difficult, especially compared to the complexities of the oil industry. (Wulfinghoff)
The steps to converting to using renewable energy sources is a slow and steady process. It involves not just individuals, but corporations and government agencies making both small and big changes steadily over time. The design of energy consuming structures such as houses and vehicles must be required to meet certain standards that increase the efficiency of energy consumption. Using thermal mass and passive solar to cool and heat housing should be a standard. Vehicles can be engineered more dynamically efficient, run from multiple fuel sources such as hydrogen, electric and even solar. Government and public funding (even in small amounts) can help develop the energy farms that, once built, not only power themselves and our communities, but can power the production of even more energy farms.
If our society can someday make a transformation to safe renewable energy to fuel our everyday lives, the economy, our health, and our environment will flourish and thrive to optimal levels. This transformation is highly feasible, but too many people are disinterested or ignorant to the facts. Knowledge is the first step in implementing this change, but unfortunately, that may be the most difficult step of all.

State seeks to extend Holyland witness gag order
Proposed gag order sought by the state would prohibit discussing almost any details about S.D., including from his past.
By YONAH JEREMY BOB
Published: SEPTEMBER 3, 2012 04:12
Holyland 390
(photo credit: Ronen Zvulun/Reuters)
The state submitted on Sunday a request to the Tel Aviv District Court to extend and broaden the gag order against reporting details regarding the main state witness in the Holyland case against former prime minister Ehud Olmert, former Jerusalem mayor Uri Lupolianski and 14 other defendants, until the end of the case.
The state witness is referred to publicly only as "S.D."
The request was submitted against the backdrop of reports that Channel 2 news is planning on airing on Thursday an expose that will reflect negatively on S.D.'s character.
Until now the gag order on S.D.'s identity has been for a temporary period and related only to divulging his identity.
The proposed gag order sought by the state would prohibit discussing almost any details about S.D., including from his past, other than his testimony in court.
Sunday saw the resumption of the Holyland trial that had been on hiatus for over a month during the courts' summer recess.
The Holyland trial is a complex trial alleging fraud and bribery against 16 defendants, including Olmert, Lupolianski and a number of other prominent politicians and businessmen.
The alleged fraud and bribery was all connected with the building of a large number of residential units, allegedly approved in violation of building and zoning rules in return for bribes, in southern Jerusalem where the Holyland Hotel once stood.
Until now and for the foreseeable future, all of the testimony in the trial, which started in July, has been given by S.D., who having admitted a central role in the fraud and bribery scheme, turned state's witness and became one of the keys to the state's case against the other defendants, along with a wealth of documents that he provided the state.
In the state's request on Sunday, attorney Liat Ben-Ari went so far as to imply that S.D.
might stop testifying without an additional protective order.
Ben-Ari said that S.D. had recently come to a meeting with the state's legal team appearing extremely stressed and disoriented by negative news coverage that has come out and that would be aired on Channel 2 news's Thursday program.
There was other potential bad news for the state regarding S.D. in Sunday's hearing.
S.D. was testifying about a letter that he sent to Uri Messer, one of Olmert's longtime close associates, including when he was a cabinet minister in November 2003.
According to S.D., the background to the letter was that he was having difficulties with Jerusalem chief architect Uri Sheetit with moving the Holyland project forward in the manner that had been envisioned.
S.D. had recently received a surprise letter from Sheetrit requiring the Holyland investors to invest significantly more funds and portions of the land that they had purchased in public endeavors, such as parks and sports facilities, than had been expected.
Parks and sports facilities would be significantly less profitable than high-end residential units, and the gulf was very large between how much land S.D. and the Holyland investors expected to be dedicated to the less profitable functions and what Sheetrit demanded in his letter.
S.D. said he was taken aback by Sheerit's demands and so he turned to Messer to convince Sheetrit to back down and accept the Holyland investor's plan, even if the plan violated zoning and building rules and policies.
This is where S.D.'s testimony ran into trouble.
Olmert had told S.D. in general that he could turn to Messer to help resolve problems regarding moving the Holyland project forward, and S.D. wanted to assign Olmert blame for his turning to Messer in this case.
But under questioning from the judge, S.D. admitted that he had already paid bribes to Sheetrit and that ultimately he turned to Messer to resolve the issue with Sheetrit because he (S.D.) has a hot temper and was afraid he would start a fight with Sheetrit, which he wanted to avoid.
This is just one example where S.D. in a general sense may have seen himself as acting on behalf of Olmert or another defendant, when in fact some of his actions were at his own independent discretion.
In other words, he turned to Messer for help because of his own character issues, not because he was specifically told in this case to do so by Olmert.
The more examples like these the defense can find, the more S.D.'s testimony could lose credibility over time.

Q: Sparql Query parameterized with string concatenation I would like to write a Sparql query to obtain information about particular wikipedia articles. I'm a sparql newbie and could use some insights on using zlist as a parameter and passing it a list of articles, as .format would do in python.
SELECT DISTINCT ?lemma ?item
WHERE {
  ?sitelink schema:about ?item;
    schema:isPartOf <https://de.wikipedia.org/>;
    schema:name ?lemma.
  FILTER (?lemma IN (zlist@de))
}

For example, I tried this unsuccessfully:
from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON
import pandas as pd
sparql = SPARQLWrapper("https://query.wikidata.org/sparql")
sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)
mylist = "Prato della Valle"

sparql.setQuery("""
SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?lemma ?instance_of
WHERE {
  ?item wdt:P31 ?instance_of.
  ?sitelink schema:about ?item;
    schema:isPartOf <https://de.wikipedia.org/>;
    schema:name ?lemma.
    FILTER (?lemma IN ( { %s }@de))
}
"""%mylist)

results = sparql.query().convert()
results_df = pd.io.json.json_normalize(results['results']['bindings'])
print(results_df)

However, I am able to get these to work:
from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON
import pandas as pd

mylist = ["word2vec"]
mystring = '"' + '" "'.join(mylist) + '"'
# mystring = (' '.join('"{0}"'.format(v) for v in mylist) )

sparql = SPARQLWrapper("https://query.wikidata.org/sparql")

sparql.setQuery("""

        bd:serviceParam mwapi:search ?searchTerm.
        bd:serviceParam mwapi:language "en".
        ?item wikibase:apiOutputItem mwapi:item.
        ?num wikibase:apiOrdinal true.
    }
    ?item (wdt:P279|wdt:P31) ?type
    }
    ORDER BY ?searchTerm ?num
""" % mystring )
sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)
results = sparql.query().convert()
results_df = pd.io.json.json_normalize(results['results']['bindings'])
print(results_df)

from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON
sparql = SPARQLWrapper("http://live.dbpedia.org/sparql")
sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)

my_variable = 'dbc:Meteorological_concepts'

sparql.setQuery(" ASK {{ {}  skos:broader{{1,7}} dbc:Medicine }} ".format(my_variable))
results = sparql.query().convert()
print(results['boolean'])

from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON
from string import Template

sparql = SPARQLWrapper("http://dbpedia.org/sparql")

query = Template("""
    PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
    SELECT ?label
    WHERE { $uri rdfs:label ?label }
""")

sparql.setQuery(query.substitute(uri='<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Asturias>'))
sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)
results = sparql.query().convert()
for result in results["results"]["bindings"]:
    print (result["label"]["value"])

Note:This stackoverflow answer and this and also this and this and this Github issue along with this one were most helpful.

A: In this case, my list items needed to be in single quotes. And the { } around the variable in the FILTER line had to be dropped.
from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON
import pandas as pd
sparql = SPARQLWrapper("https://query.wikidata.org/sparql")
sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)

The Gigspanner Big Band are a unique force in British folk music...
Their high-energy, virtuosic performances appeal equally to traditionalists and to those looking for something more experimental, and they have garnered praise from publications as varied as fRoots, The Telegraph and The Wire, where they were described as 'melodically folk-rooted yet open and innovative beyond the constraints of genre'
Beginning life as a trio - with legendary Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight being joined by percussionist Sacha Trochet and guitarist Roger Flack - the line-up has been expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band, with acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin - BBC Folk Awards 'Best Duo') and Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player extraordinaire, John Spiers, joining the fray.
As collaborations go, it doesn't get much more mouth-watering than this. While Peter Knight, as part of Steeleye Span's classic 1970s line-up, helped invent a brand of folk rock that is still influential today, John Spiers, has had an equally profound impact on the landscape of traditional music over the last two decades.
Characterised by riotous inventiveness, technically gifted individual playing and subtle collaborative interaction, this coming together of several of the biggest names on the folk-roots scene, combines a deep knowledge of roots traditions with a ceaselessly boundary pushing approach.
Taking self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and beyond, with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat, they produce richly atmospheric arrangements layered within a wealth of subliminal musical influences "with notes seemingly plucked from the stars and rhythms from the equator" Spiral Earth
Unsurprisingly, the superlatives have come thick and fast...
"Natural Invention is a stunning achievement - perhaps one of the most sophisticated and enchanting folk albums ever released" From the Margins

The Fureys
Legends of Irish music & song The FUREYS, renowned for their hit songs 'I will love you', 'When you were sweet 16', 'The Green fields of France', 'The old man', 'Red rose café', 'From Clare to here', 'Her father didn't like me anyway', 'Leaving Nancy', 'Steal away' etc return on Sunday 26th April 2020.
The FUREYS have been entertaining audiences worldwide for 42 years, audiences that have included former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Former Irish President Mary McAleese and the late Pope John Paul while Tony Blair has publicly stated his favourite peace song of all time is the FUREYS "Green Fields of France" and President Michael D Higgins attended their last concert in National Concert Hall.
The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where he shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty and Alex Campbell. In 1969 with his brother Finbar, he was the special guest for the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem throughout the USA and Canada. In 1971 he moved to mainland Europe where he toured for seven years. Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on guitar when they met up in the North East of England while Dave was still a teenager.
Simply Dylan
John O'Connell's Simply Dylan Band will be back in 2021 for a brand-new headline tour across the UK to celebrate Bob Dylan's 80th Birthday.
As straightforward as the title suggests: no frills, no gimmicks, no pretense; Simply Dylan is John's personal exploration and celebration of the rich and diverse work of Bob Dylan.
O'Connell, formerly of Groundpig, has had his name indelibly written into the tapestry of Liverpool's music scene, has collaborated with other highly reputable musicians to form his Dylan Band.
The combination of the band delivering high energy renditions of the prodigious songwriter's work and John skillfully singing and enunciating the lyrics,
has seen the project go from recognising Dylan's 70th Birthday, to selling out the Cavern Club 6 times, to receiving fantastic reviews from audiences across
the UK and most recently having the privilege to open up the Isle of Wight Festival in 2019 on the big top stage.
"It is incredible to consider that Dylan has been writing and performing for some 6 decades and continues to do so right up to the present day.
The talent he has for story-telling and developing a song is extraordinary. My greatest challenge is deciphering a set-list when there is so much choice and an array
of genres to select from; after all everyone has their own personal favourite!"

Steve Harley Acoustic Band
Widely considered one of the most charismatic performers on stage, Steve Harley continues to play to sold-out venues across the UK and Europe.
For Steve, life on the road is more than just a job: it is almost his life's blood.
And with the February 2020 release of the all-acoustic CD, "UNCOVERED", the original Cockney Rebel shows no sign of slowing down.
The Acoustic Band for 2020 will find Steve supported by long-standing violinist/guitarist Barry Wickens, Oli Hayhurst on double bass, with Dave Delarre on lead guitar.
Steve has been playing Live shows around the world for over 45 years and the thrill of another night in another place to another audience has not dimmed at all.
"We have real adventures on tour, "says Steve. "I've seen the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun and dozens of wonderful galleries, museums and great cities, all on my down-time. I have a great life as a Wandering Minstrel!"
"UNCOVERED" includes a re-recording of Steve's own highly-esteemed song "Love, Compared With You" with a newly composed third verse, plus his thus-far unrecorded "Only You", and nine other songs he's always wanted to perform. The album features Barry Wickens on viola and acoustic guitar, Oli Hayhurst on double bass, Tom Hooper on percussion and the Roots Music Legend, Martin Simpson, on guitar. Steve also sings a duet with the amazing Scottish singer, Eddi Reader.
The acoustic sets for 2020 will include songs from the new CD, plus a selection from the vast and eclectic Harley Songbook. Mr Soft, Judy Teen, Sebastian and the legendary Make Me Smile will all be re-produced in the unique acoustic style.
Close-Up Culture stated: "It was an intimate night in the presence of a great musician. An individual whose passion for live performance and perfection (it shows in his face) remains undiminished."
Rod Stewart, who covered Steve's song "A Friend For Life", describes him as "One of the finest lyricists Britain has produced."
MOJO said simply, "Harley creates rock songs that are proud, lyrical and full of yearning." Steve has also been described as "A consummate performer at the top of his game," and this show will bear that out.
Steve received a Lifetime Achievement Award for Acoustic Music from the Acoustic Festival of Britain in 2018.

Johnny McEvoy
Johnny's big break came in late 1966 when he recorded a song called Mursheen Durkin, an old ballad from the west of Ireland. It topped the charts at Number 1 for three consecutive weeks. It was followed up by The Boston Burglar which also reached Number 1.
His first tour of the United States was in 67. It involved 7 weeks of concerts during that hot summer of Hippies, Protests and Vietnam. One of the many famous venues he played was the "Hungry Eye" in San Francisco. However, his favourite was the famous "Carnegie Hall" in New York. It was at this stage in his career he had his third Number 1 hit with the song Nora from Sean O'Casey's famous play "The Plough and the Stars"
On a golden August afternoon while sitting on a stone in the sun outside a pub in Co. Sligo came the inspiration to write his first song Long, long before your time. It too reached Number 1.
Many of his songs have become standards and been recorded by many other singers.
The South are keeping alive all those timeless songs – A Little Time (the number one single), Perfect 10, Rotterdam, Old Red Eyes Is Back, Good as Gold, Don't Marry Her plus many more singles.

The Dublin Legends
"Alive-Alive Oh!"
Following the sudden death of founding member Barney McKenna in 2012 and John Sheahans' decision to retire it was agreed that The Dubliners, as a touring band, would come to an end and THE DUBLIN LEGENDS were born.
THE DUBLIN LEGENDS, Sean Cannon, Paul Watchorn, Gerry O'Connor & Shay Kavanagh, have over 100 years of performing experience between them and Sean was the lead singer with The Dubliners for over 30 of them! They will, of course, continue to play all the classic songs and ballads known the world over; Whiskey in The Jar, Dirty Old Town, The Wild Rover, Seven Drunken Nights, The Rare Auld Times, Molly Malone, The Irish Rover, Black Velvet Band & many more.
In 2017 guitarist and founder, Eamonn Campbell, passed away while they were on tour in Holland. Even though he had been in poor health it was still a massive shock. The lads asked an old friend, Shay Kavanagh, if he would like to come on the road with them and, thankfully, Shay readily agreed. Shay is a stalwart of the Irish Folk Music scene. He was a founding member of General Humbert with the great Mary Black and has played with The Dublin City Ramblers for many years.
It was Eamonn's wish that the band continue touring and finish off recording the album they had been working on. This is a follow-up to "The Dublin Sessions" which featured 16 newly recorded tracks and included some old favourites & classics that the lads wanted to get down on disc…The Leaving of Liverpool, Schooldays Over, Pub with No Beer, Rambling Rover, Hand Me Down My Bible and some scorching tunes from Gerry O'Connor: Billy in The Low Ground / The Temperance Reel
In the past seven years the band have continued the legacy of The Dubliners by travelling far and wide playing concerts to a whole new generation of Irish music fans. They have wowed audiences in Iceland, Norway, Finland, The Faroe Islands, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Switzerland and all over England, Scotland & Wales.
This band are the REAL DEAL so make sure you join THE DUBLIN LEGENDS on their 2019 UK Tour for a night full of songs and stories and the odd pint of Guinness!

Mogens Frey Jensen (born 2 July 1941) is a retired Danish amateur cyclist who competed successfully both on the road and on track. He won, along with Gunnar Asmussen, Per Lyngemark and Reno Olsen, a gold medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the 4 km team pursuit and finished second individually. However, he is more famous for the way he won stage 9 in the 1970 Tour de France.  Here, he defeated his own team captain Joaquim Agostinho. Agostinho was first over the finish line, but was immediately disqualified for putting his hand on Frey's handlebars, thus holding him back in the sprint. It was the only Danish Tour de France stage win until 1983.

Frey also won the individual pursuit event at the 1968 world championships and finished second in 1967 behind Gert Bongers.

In time, his followers, his devoted friends and all those who had received inspiration and blessing from proximity to his spiritual presence began to adjust to the loss of Mevlana. They faced the question of how to organise themselves in the event of his death. Rather than allowing the ideas of their mystical leader to die with him, they determined to incorporate them into a system which could be taught to future generations. The person chosen to guide the community of friends and followers in his stead is, his spiritual successor, Husameddin Celebi, who took up the post as the leader of the Mevlevi community with the agreement of all its members, including Mevlana's son, Sultan Veled. Husameddin Celebi sat on the pelt of the community's founder-the Celebi pelt, (later symbol of the sheyh in the Mevlevi convent) and administered; the estates attached to his mausoleum. On his death, the post of Celebi was taken by Sultan Veled, who was sixty years of age when he attained that post and had been instructed by the mystic Begtimuroglu Seyh Kerimuddin. He was not only a mature sufi, but also a skilled organiser. He was possessed, furthermore, of a creative spirit, and it was through him that the revolutionary ideas of Mevlana were popularised and spread. He founded the greater community of the Mevlevis, and made the tomb of the founder in Konya, their spiritual centre. His works, including a 'Divan', three poetical Mesnevis, entitled the Ibtidaname Rebabname and Intihaname and a work of prose entitled 'Maarif' are important contributions to early Turkish Anatolian literature. Sultan Veled died in 1312 at the age of eighty-six, and. was buried alongside his father, Mevlana, at Konya. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Ulu Arif Celebi.
When Arif Celebi took the post of head of the Mevlevi, he was forty years of age. His early education had been at the hands of Mevlana himself, after which he was trained by Celebi Husameddin. He travelled throughout Anatolia several times during his father's lifetime, and was much loved wherever he went. He contributed a great deal to the foundation and early development of the Mevlevi as an order, and was also the author of an anthology. He too, was buried in the tomb of Mevlana on his death in 1320.
On Ulu Arif Celebi's death, his brother Semseddin Emir Alim; then on his death in 1338 his other brother Husameddin Vacid Celebi succeeded to the Celebi Throne-pelt. Subsequent holders of the post came from the line of Ulu Arif Celebi. The Mevlevi order as such was actually organised under the leadership of Adil Celebi, the second pir, who died in 1460, and who was responsible for formulating the rites and practices of the Mevlevi as a religous group.
During its formation as an order, the Mevlevi also became firmly established in Anatolia, and later throughout the Ottoman empire, through the patronage of leading members of society, including important statesmen and even sultans. At one point, a line of Mevlevi descendence was even established through the Ottoman dynasty, when Devlet Hatun, the daughter of Yakup Han, a Germiyan descendent of Sultan Veled's daughter, Mutahhara Hatun, married Bayezid the Thunderbolt, providing a matrimonial link between the two lines. The Ottoman Mevlevi line was later established with the birth of Celebi Muhammed to Devlet Hatun. Later sultans maintained this hereditary link. Mehmet the Conqueror is known to have a close relationship with the Mevlevi pir, Cemaleddin Celebi, the son of Pir Adil Celebi. He was also a frequent pilgrim to the tomb of Mevlana, which he restored, and granted a number of endowments to the order. His son, Bayezid II bestowed a number of favours on Cemaleddin Celebi personally, and totally restored Mevlana's tomb, providing it with the ornamentation in its present form. During the time of the Mevlevi Sheyh Husrev Celebi, the son of the Kadi Mehmet Pasha, Selim the Grim visited the tomb several times, through his benevolence, a fountain was built in the grounds of the Mevlevi convent at Konya, and various endowments were granted to members of the order. During the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent, an assembly hall- semahane- was built on to the mausoleum along with a mescid- or chapel mosque. During the same period, the tombs of Mevlana and Sultan Veled were embellished with marble cataphalques and the wooden cover originally belonging to Mevlana's tomb was placed over that of his father. Ahmet I, himself a poet, who wrote under the pseudonym Bahti, was closely attached to Mevlana. He wrote the lines which read: "Bahti, the devoted slave of the throne (seat) of Mevlana, the true throne of the sultan of the world".
Cells for the dervishes, kitchens and other buildings were added to the convent complex by Murad III and Mehmet III during the same time of the Sheyh Ferruh Celebi. Murat IV visited the tomb of Mevlana on his way to Iran in 1635 to pray for the success of his Iranian campaign, when he granted endowments to the convent and favours to the Celebi himself, including three sable mantles. Two years later, however, when Murad IV made a second pilgrimage to Konya, the kadizade displayed such animosity towards the Mevlevi that they were not afforded the royal respect given them on previous visits, and Ebubekir Celebi was exiled to Istanbul.
During the 17 and 18th centuries, under the administration of Huseyin, Abdulhalim, Karabostan, Sedreddin and Arif Celebis, the Mevlevi maintained a generally close relationship with the court, received successive endowments from the Ottoman sultans, and founded many new dergahs -convents -throughout Anatolia and beyond. These, and the Mevlevi zaviyes -small dervish lodges -and asithanes -important centres of the order -were all administered from Konya, which was considered the axis of the order.

These, and the Mevlevi zaviyes -small dervish lodges -and asithanes -important centres of the order -were all administered from Konya, which was considered the axis of the order. Haci Mehmed Emin Celebi, occupant of the Celebi Throne -postnisin -of the Mevlevi convent in Konya, during the reign of Selim III, left the post of sheyh to his nine -year -old son, on account of his frailty after spending thirty years as head of the order. His chosen successor -halife -Mehmet Said Hemdem Celebi, who was duly appointed by Mahmut II through the intercession of Emin Celebi's friend and companion Haled Sait Efendi, went to Istanbul to receive his official appointment with the approval of the order and returned to Konya to be invested as a sheyh. As his father had died, he took up the post of leader of the order immediately, inheriting his father's position on the pelt of the sheyh. He very quickly displayed a maturity and organisational skill quite unexpected in a boy of his age, and proceeded to rule the convent and the order successfully for 45 years. He won the support and favours of both Mahmud II and Abdulmecid, who were both sympathetic towards the order and founded an important library in the dergah at Konya. Many of the leading poets and authors of the day were attracted to Konya during his time as sheyh. He himself was the author of an anthology. He was also responsible for a number of repairs to the convent. Hemdem Celebi was one of the most outstanding sheyhs of the order, who contributed to its development as an order over a period of half a century. Of him it was said: "There may emerge many as pirs, many initiates, many chosen elders to the order, but non such as Hemdem will come again as leader (veli) to the lodge."
In 1832, when Konya was occupied by the Egyptian armies of Mehmet Ali Pasha, under the command of Ibrahim Pasha, Hemdem Celebi went to Istanbul. In doing so he affirmed his allegiance to the Ottoman throne, and so won the sympathy of Abdulmecid once again.
Ibrahim Pasha, after taking Konya, appointed Hemdem's son, Celaleddin Celebi as sheyh, but he was removed from the post by his father on his return to Konya after the retreat of the Egyptian army. In 1859, Hemdem Celebi died, leaving his post to his second son, Mahmud Sadreddin Celebi. The latter remained head of the order for 22 years. During his time in office, the convent endowments were renewed, the green tiles of Mevlana's tomb restored, and restorations also carried out in the convent kitchens, the dervish cells and the fountain. One of his most important acts was to contribute food from the convent cellars to help victims of the famine of 1873, in a campaign run by the governor of Konya, Esad Pasha. After the death of the much-loved Sadreddin Celebi in 1880, the elders and Celebi-sheyhs of the order throughout Anatolia called for the appointment of his brother Fahreddin Celebi, then sheyh of the Mevlevi convent in Manisa. At the command of Abdulhamid he was duly appointed, with the approval of the seyhulislam- the head of the Moslem mosque-and esconced as sheyh in Konya with great ceremony. But on his death just a year later, in 1882, his brother was appointed to take his place. Mustafa Safvet Celebi, the son of Hemdem Celebi, proved an extremely mature mystic leadership, during whose time of office restorations were carried out at the dergah. He was succeeded by his younger brother Abdulvahid Celebi on his death in 1887. Abdulvahid Celebi remained at the head of the order for 20 years, and was much loved in Konya, although he was kept under constant surveillance by Abdulhamid II, was repeatedly informed upon by the governors of Konya, Ali Sururi and Ferid Pasha of Avlonya, and was prevented from leaving Konya during his time in office.
Abdulvahid Celebi died in 1907 and was succeeded by his son, Abdulhalim Celebi, during the time of the formation of the Second Constitution. In 1909 he was succeeded by Bahaeddin Veled (Izbudak), the son of Mustafa Necib Celebi, during whose period of office First World War broke out. That sheyh led a volunteer regiment of Mevlevi -the Mucahidin-i Mevleviyye- from Konya to Damascus, with the intention of taking part in the Suez campaign, but disbanded it without having attained any great military successes on the defeat of Germany. Towards the end of 1919, Abdulhalim Celebi again took the pelt of leadership, but was succeeded seven months later by Amil Celebi, son of the sheyh of the Aleppo Mevlevi, Yakub Celebi, only to return to the post for a third time on the death of Amil Celebi about a year later. On 23 rd April, 1923, Abdulhalim Celebi was appointed a member of the newly-formed national congress for Konya, and became second leader of the house. After the declaration of the Republic, in 1925, he left his post as head of the order and died in Istanbul in the same year. Veled Celebi was appointed in his place, but with the dissolution of the mystic orders in 1925, the post of Celebi was also abolished.
