Q: Comma separated string from what FKs reference I have three tables:
1) name
IDname | Name
-------------
1      | Volk
2      | Molk
3      | Yolk
2) company
IDcompany | Company
------------------
1         | Lucellous
2         | Monstrous
3) name_company, which has a many-to-one relationship with name (table 1) and two foreign keys
IDname_company | IDname | IDcompany
1              | 1      | 1
2              | 2      | 1
3              | 2      | 2
I need a query that will give me this:
IDresult | Name | Company
--------------------------------------
1        | Volk | Lucellous
2        | Molk | Lucellous, Monstrous
3        | Yolk |
How can I do it? I work with SQLite and maybe later I'll switch to Firebird.

A: SQLite supports the group_concat() string aggregation function, see http://www.sqlite.org/lang_aggfunc.html for use in queries like:
select id, group_concat(<string_column>)
from <table>
group by id;

You'll need to substitute your own query.

A: To get a comma-separated string from multiple strings, use the group_concat function.
The strings are either from all records returned in a subquery:
SELECT IDname AS IDresult,
       Name,
       (SELECT group_concat(Company)
        FROM company
        WHERE IDcompany IN (SELECT IDcompany
                            FROM name_company
                            WHERE IDname = name.IDname))
FROM name

or from all records in a group defined with GROUP BY:
SELECT name.IDname AS IDresult,
       name.Name,
       group_concat(company.Company)
FROM name
LEFT JOIN name_company ON name.IDname            = name_company.IDname
LEFT JOIN company      ON name_company.IDcompany = company.IDcompany
GROUP BY name.IDname

Q: $('select option:selected').text() and Attr.specified is deprecated warning In my project I need to update a backbone model with both the selected value and text from a <select>.
For this purpose I am calling
model.set 'value', $('select').val()
model.set 'value_text', $('select option:selected').text()

(I am using coffee script as well). Because of some problem in jQuery v2.0.3 which I am currently using I am receiving this warning:

Attr.specified is deprecated. Its value is always true.

I know there were questions on SO about this warning, but I want to ask something completely different:
Since updating to a newer version of jQuery (where the problem might be fixed) is not possible in next few months I would like to ask whether there is other way round to receive the selected option's text instead of that used above. I am not against pure JS solution if there is no other using jQuery.
Any help is highly appreciated.
EDIT for @KevinB: The warning is caused by asking whether there is selected attribute on that option.

A: I prefer do that in a different approach. See the code.
Inside view.
events:
    "change input":"updateModel"
    "change select" : "SelectedItem" //Just for example.

selectedItem:(element)->
    selectedOption = element.target.selectedOptions
    alert **selectedOption.item().value** // the value of the selected item. now you can set it on model.

updateModel:(element)->
    @model.setNew(element.target.name, element.target.value)

Inside model.
setNew:(newName, newValue)->
    @set newName, newValue

Html file.
<select>
<option value="renan">Renan</option>
<option value="carvalho">Carvalho</option>
</select>

<input type="text" name="customer" />

Hope it helps.

A: To *fix* it without changing anything else, you can just use .filter.
$('select option').filter(function (i) { return this.selected; }).text();

Background: Research shows evidence for the importance of physical and emotional closeness for the infant, the parent and the infant-parent dyad. Less is known about how, when and why parents experience emotional closeness to their infants in a neonatal unit (NU), which was the aim of this study.
Methods: A qualitative study using a salutogenic approach to focus on positive health and wellbeing was undertaken in three NUs: one in Sweden, England and Finland. An 'emotional closeness' form was devised, which asked parents to describe moments/situations when, how and why they had felt emotionally close to their infant. Data for 23 parents of preterm infants were analyzed using thematic networks analysis.
Results: A global theme of 'pathways for emotional closeness' emerged from the data set. This concept related to how emotional, physical, cognitive and social influences led to feelings of emotional closeness between parents and their infants. The five underpinning organising themes relate to the: Embodied recognition through the power of physical closeness; Reassurance of, and contributing to, infant wellness; Understanding the present and the past; Feeling engaged in the day to day and Spending time and bonding as a family.
Conclusion: These findings generate important insights into why, how and when parents feel emotionally close. This knowledge contributes to an increased awareness of how to support parents of premature infants to form positive and loving relationships with their infants. Health care staff should create a climate where parents' emotions and their emotional journey are individually supported.

Lea Michele: The Moment She Heard About Cory Monteith's Death
FameFlynet FameFlynet
Chris Rogers
Deputy Editor of Los Angeles
Lea is beyond devastated by Cory's sad and sudden death on July 13. She 'completely lost her mind' when she was told the news, a new report claims.
Our hearts break for Lea Michele. She lost the love of her life, Cory Monteith, when he died from a mixture of heroin and alcohol on July 13. Lea, 26, reportedly learned of his death during a harrowing phone call that she'll likely never forget.
Lea Michele: Cory Monteith Found Dead — The Moment She Heard About Cory's Death
Lea allegedly received the call around 10 p.m. on July 13. The person on the other end had been frantic to reach the Glee star before she heard of 31-year-old Cory's passing on the news.
"Lea completely lost her mind. She went crazy, screaming and crying until 3 a.m.," a source tells Us Weekly.
Devastated, Lea has reportedly since gone into seclusion in Los Angeles. "Lea has been inconsolable and feels like she's been hit by a truck. She didn't know he'd started using again. She is camped out at a friend's house because she can't be alone now," the source says.
Cory Monteith Cremated After Private Viewing With Family & Lea Michele
Lea did, however, leave her friend's house to say goodbye to Cory one last time.
Cory's mother, Ann McGregor, held a viewing at the hospital with Lea, 26, and Cory's older brother, Shaun Monteith on July 16, according to TMZ. She then decided to cremate his body in Vancouver after the viewing.
This is all truly heartbreaking. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lea and everyone affected by Cory's death during this sad time.

What does a country do when its neighbour's entire reason to exist is to bring mayhem and destruction on this country? India's terror tactics against Pakistan is just this. Lest we keep seeking peace when our soldiers are killed regularly; our cities bombed and hundreds of innocent lives are lost with every passing year.
While deceitfully accusing Pakistan of terrorism, Pakistan has long been a victim of terrorism. It is pertinent to understand before blaming Pakistan as the main sponsor of terrorism as amusingly done by Bruce Riedel, Pakistan has been shaken profoundly by a series of mass casualty terror attacks on its own citizens since from decades.
I wonder why Pakistan is in the news all over the world for all the wrong reasons ignoring what Pakistan has been doing in curbing this menace since 9/11. There have been numerous incidents in Pakistan like the one in Mumbai. For instance let's take the Karachi airport incident for discussion. The recovery of Indian manufactured weapons from the site of the attack clearly indicates that the real problem is India which is manipulating the crisis in Pakistan.
In this blame game being played from both sides, the only loser is justice and truth.
Facts about the revelations regarding Mumbai attack made by the former Indian government official have not been highlighted in media. However, the silence was broken when a former Indian home ministry officer submitted his declaration in the Supreme Court of India which said that he was told by a former member of the CBI-SIT team that both the terror attacks (Parliament and Mumbai) were staged "with the objective of strengthening the counter-terror legislation. As Kasab and his accomplices were the creation of Indian intelligence. He had no Islamic inclinations or knowledge about jihad, could not recite the Holy Quran and was heard on video calling bhagwan for mercy.
Interestingly, Mr.Riedel is confused in picturing and maligning Pakistan's role, that LeT is responsible for the Mumbai attacks by following the incongruous Indian narrative on the issue. Ironically, there is a lot that has yet to be surfaced about what happened in Mumbai. Reidel has not wholly understood the Indian role in creating this episode of Mumbai. Remembering a whistleblower, Satish Verma holding a major position in India's Central Bureau of Investigation, has alleged his own government of orchestrating the attack on the Indian parliament, along with the 2008 Mumbai attack. Bearing in mind, Wikileaks has revealed a secret U.S. state department wire in which the U.S. had slammed New Delhi's case on insufficient evidence.
Furthermore, the death of Hemant Karkare, who was investigating state-sponsored terrorism activities by RSS and Mossad, raised questions on the involvement of Indian agencies. With death threats against him already on record, why was ATS Chief Hemant Karkare left unprotected by the establishment on the streets of Mumbai? To let RSS and Mossad assassinate him? Gautam Adhikari warned that Karkare killing was a message by RSS and Mossad that you cannot investigate this angle.
Afghan officials have also confirmed that India is using Afghanistan to stir trouble in Pakistan.
"India is using Afghan soil to destabilize Pakistan and Afghan security agencies are unable to stop Indian intervention due to absence of centralized government mechanism", said Afghan Government's Advisor, Ehsanullah Aryanzai on the sidelines of Pak-Afgan Parliamentary Jirga at a Pakistani hotel on April 2, 2009.
Rather than jumping to biased conclusions, Riedel should first scrutinize other sources of information to reinforce more realistic findings on the subject. Besides this, the Italian journalist Austro D Agnelli investigated the Indian involvement in terrorist activities and disclosed two permanent joint Indian air force and military bases, Farkhor and Ayni; both located in Tajikistan and used as terrorist training camps. According to the reports of Italian journalist, the members of Indian Secret Services at Farkhor Airbase and Ayni Airbase are recruiting underage unemployed youth from different underdeveloped and backward part of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in garb of highly paid jobs. Handsome money around US $5000 is also paid to their families in advance for their young children recruitment.
In nut shell, from here on and in the backdrop of the Indian malicious designs, Pakistan's efforts for peace in the region should not be considered its weakness.
"India is using Afghan soil to destabilize Pakistan and Afghan security agencies are unable to stop Indian intervention due to absence of centralized government mechanism", said Afghan Government's Advisor, Ehsanullah Aryanzai on the sidelines of Pak-Afgan Parliamentary Jirga at a Pakistani hotel on April 2, 2009. Do we need more evidences?

Trust in The Wiz at Ford's Theatre
March 28, 2018 /in Featured, Stage/Screen /by Valeria Villarroel
There's not a moment in Ford's Theatre's The Wiz when you're not exhilarated. From the instance Toto rushes across the stage to the final second Dorothy clicks her heels, the kaleidoscope of characters, colors and music inspires the audience to yelp, cheer, tap their feet, laugh and snap – it's impossible to sit still when you're traveling through the Wonderful World of Oz.
The Wiz, the iconic winner of seven Tony Awards, is an adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, which unapologetically celebrates black culture through it's score of blues, soul, gospel, R&B, jazz and pop, in addition to its universal narrative. The Wiz isn't a story about a young black girl overcoming slavery, extreme poverty or hardships. Rather, the story is about a young girl who happens to be black making friends and finding strength as she attempts to journey home after being whisked away by a tornado into a magical land.
"The beauty of The Wiz is its message that anything we already are is enough," director Kent Gash explains in Ford's press release. "Dorothy feels restless and stuck at home, but when the tornado comes through, it absolutely turns her world upside down and changes her perspective. Dorothy discovers she is smarter, more powerful and more interesting than she ever realized. She comes to understand that how she moves through the world can change lives. That is a valuable lesson for us all to celebrate."
Ines Nassara shines as Dorothy. The moment she sings the first line on "Soon As I Get Home," we know exactly who this character is. We feel Dorothy's fear, excitement and resolve to succeed in her mission. At the beginning of the show, she's still unsure of her bravery. By the time she helps her new friend, the Cowardly Lion (played exquisitely by Christopher Michael Richardson), discover his own strength in "Be a Lion," you'll be hard-pressed to hold back tears upon seeing this young woman stand with such power.
Hasani Allen emulates the same charm and lankiness as Michael Jackson in the same role as the Scarecrow, but his "Aw, shucks" sweetness is all his own. For lacking a heart, Tinman, as brought to life by Kevin McAllister, sings with all his soul about the eternal fear we all have about being unable to love, and being unlovable.
While the four leads of the show prove wonderful, The Wiz is a musical that needs a strong ensemble cast. Ford's production delivers, and when the show reaches its peak after Evillene melts away with "Everybody Rejoice" – an exuberant song celebrating freedom and new chapters – you can't help but revel in the joy onstage.
This production of The Wiz is a delight for any pop culture fiend. There are call-outs to Jackson 5 dance routines, Alvin Ailey's masterpiece Revelations, Wakanda, Coming to America, Flavor of Love (Flava Flav's VH1 dating show), Paris Is Burning, Grace Jones, Prince and Purple Rain, and of course, some moonwalking thrown in for good measure.
This is a story about having the courage to trust in yourself – trusting your smarts, trusting your heart, trusting your bravery and, finally, trusting in your spirit.
The Wiz runs at Ford's Theatre through May 12. For more information about the show or details on times, dates and tickets, click here.

The Dragon's Promise
By Leah's Books on August 15, 2022 • ( 3 Comments )
Author: Elizabeth Lim
Series: Six Crimson Cranes #2
Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf Books for Young Readers for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
CONTENT WARNING: imprisonment, violence, blood, mention of death, grief, bullying, mention of self-harm
Princess Shiori made a deathbed promise to return the dragon's pearl to its rightful owner, but keeping that promise is more dangerous than she ever imagined.
She must journey to the kingdom of dragons, navigate political intrigue among humans and dragons alike, fend off thieves who covet the pearl for themselves and will go to any lengths to get it, all while cultivating the appearance of a perfect princess to dissuade those who would see her burned at the stake for the magic that runs in her blood.
The pearl itself is no ordinary cargo; it thrums with malevolent power, jumping to Shiori's aid one minute, and betraying her the next—threatening to shatter her family and sever the thread of fate that binds her to her true love, Takkan. It will take every ounce of strength Shiori can muster to defend the life and the love she's fought so hard to win.
I seriously loved Six Crimson Cranes and rated it five stars, so I was absolutely thrilled to get my hands on this sequel. However, it didn't quite live up to the extraordinarily high standards I had left over from book 1. It kind of felt like three separate books mashed into one, and the characters just didn't quite hit the same emotional notes for me as they did in the first book, with a few exceptions. I have to admit that the cover is gorgeous, along with the UK cover, which is equally beautiful.
The book starts with Shiori about the head into Ai'long, the dragon realm, so that she can return the dragon's pearl to who it belongs to. Naturally, this is more dangerous than she expects, and thrusts her directly into the dragon court, where there are political maneuverings that she knows nothing about, and teases at a potential love triangle that isn't quite realized. It also places her goal directly at odds with that of all the dragons, and introduces us to a new character, but unfortunately, he only shows up at convenient times and we never really get to know him well.
Once Shiori escapes back into Kiata, it almost feels like a completely different story begins. Although the book isn't broken into parts, it almost feels like it should have been, in the interest of continuity, since keeping it all as one section makes everything feel more disjointed. The connection between Shiori and her brothers, as well as Shiori and Takkan were definitely my favorite aspects of the story, since they're sweet and realistic, and despite the fact that she has 6 brothers, each of them have distinct personalities and serve their own unique role in the family dynamic.
There's hints of a religious-ish cult within Kiata, and I honestly would have loved for Lim to delve more deeply into this. It felt like a missed opportunity to further develop the world, although the world-building in this story was really great. I loved the Chinese influence, using the diverse natural environments, customs, dress, religious aspects, superstitions, foods, belief systems, myths, stories, and practices to create a believable world that I had no problem losing myself in.
The last part of the story takes us to a different area of the world and gives us insight into the background of a character from the first book that we knew very little about. I loved learning more about this character and what made them who they were and the way that they were, and how they connected to the present story.
Overall, the pace was fast and it was an interesting read. Everything was tied up a bit too neatly for my liking, with certain conflicts resolving magically rather than through realistic solutions, and a lot of the story felt like Shiori didn't necessarily learn or change much, although she did grow and begin to appreciate more of what she had through her experiences in the first and second books. It carried a bit of a Disneyfied feel to the story, coming across as a bit more on the young side of YA, but as far as fairy tale retellings go, this one was relatively interesting and a feel-good read.
People who have sat around with me while I'm reading, especially when there's a surprising reveal, a shocking plot twist, or an unexpected event often look up in alarm when I gasp audibly. The gasp factor is directly related to the number of times I audibly gasp during a reading, and there isn't an upper limit.

Bond 25 pre-announcement accuracy scorecard
Posted on June 2, 2018 by The Spy Commander
A reader of the blog, @EiriniMakr on Twitter, suggested a post about inaccurate things published about Bond 25.
Well, we'll go one step further. What follows is a look at major examples of what panned out, what didn't and what was muddy.
DEFINITELY RIGHT
Craig was coming back: The Page Six gossip operation of the New York Post said Feb. 22, 2017 that Daniel Craig was indeed coming back to play 007 in Bond 25. It had another item to that effect on April 3, 2017. The New York Times has its own story about Craig's return on July 24, 2017.
All of these were published before Craig announced in mid-August 2017 that he was returning (2:06 mark).
Purvis & Wade were (initially) hired to write Bond 25: Baz Bamigboye of the Daily Mail reported on March 9, 2017 that six-time 007 screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade had been hired to write Bond 25. This was confirmed in a July 24, 2017 announcement that the movie would have a November 2019 release date in the United States.
Danny Boyle would direct Bond 25: Variety reports Feb. 20 that Boyle was in contention to direct Bond 25. Deadline: Hollywood comes back Feb. 21 with a story that Boyle's participation depends on whether an idea he has developed with writer John Hodge (and that Hodge is writing as a script) is accepted.
On May 25, it was announced Boyle is directing from a script by Hodge.
DEFINITELY WRONG
The Daily Mail says May 18, 2016 that Daniel Craig turned down an offer of 68 million British pounds to play Bond in two more films. Problem: Craig says in a public appearance in New York in October 2016 that there are "no conversation going on because genuinely everybody's just a bit tired," Also, Craig ended up coming back.
Radar Online says Sept. 3, 2016 that Sony Pictures was offering Daniel Craig $150 million to do two more James Bond film. Problem: Sony's involvement as a Bond film distributor ended with 2015's SPECTRE. The Bond 25 distribution wouldn't be settled until last month and Sony wasn't part of it.
The Mirror says July 29, 2017 that Bond 25 will be based on a 007 continuation novel by Raymond Benson titled Never Dream of Dying. Problem: Benson says on social media that he was never contacted by the Mirror and that he can only assume the story was a fabrication. Also, Eon Productions has been notoriously adverse to using Bond continuation novels as the basis of its films. A sequence from Kingsley Amis' Colonel Sun was adapted for SPECTRE but you have to dig deep into the end titles to find acknowledgment of it.
Archivo 007, a fan website, says Dec. 2, 2017 Christopher Nolan is "more than likely" to direct Bond 25. Problem: Didn't happen. Nolan said in a BBC interview in February he wasn't going to direct the film.
The Sun says April 26 that filming on Bond 25 "has been put back to later next year" because Daniel Craig's wife, actress Rachel Weisz, is pregnant. Problem: The May 25 official announcement about Boyle, Hodge, et. al., specifies that Bond 25 is to begin production Dec. 3.
This section involves stories that are plausible but aren't likely to be confirmed definitively
Deadline: Hollywood says on July 26, 2017 that Denis Villeneuve, Yann Demange and David Mackenzie are the "frontrunners" to direct Bond 25. Variety says the same day that Demange is the leading contender. (Variety also said Daniel Craig was likely to return.)
Some Bond fans were extremely enthusiastic about Villeneuve. And the director said in a November podcast that, " "I had some contact" regarding Bond 25. But Villeneuve said he was is working on a new version of Dune and that was that.
So taking Villeneuve at this word, one of those three directors had been contacted about directing Bond 25. Were Demange and Mackenzie also under consideration? No way to know at this point.

About that remaking OHMSS idea
Posted on September 5, 2017 by The Spy Commander
Image for the official James Bond feed on Twitter
The New York Post's Page Six gossip operation succeeded in creating a buzz with a report that Bond 25 will rework part of the plot of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. But is it a good idea?
Many fans enthusiastically say yes, because it means a proper adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1964 You Only Live Twice novel.
Let's take a look at some issues involved.
–Another revenge plot? In the Twice novel, Bond is a broken man following the death of his wife Tracy. He's given an "impossible mission" involving diplomacy instead of guns (trying to get the Japanese to share intel it gathers and decodes using its Magic 44 system).
But through a few twists and turns, it turns out Blofeld is in Japan and Bond gets to go after him.
Eon Productions did Twice first, dispensing with most of the plot while retaining key characters. Majesty's became the next film in the series. Diamonds Are Forever didn't make any direct references to Majesty's. Thus, many fans say they were deprived of a classic revenge plot.
True enough. Eon, over the years, has made up for lost time revenge wise: Licence to Kill (Bond goes after the killers of Leiter's wife, who also severely maimed Leiter); GoldenEye (Bond, betrayed by 006, goes after him); The World Is Not Enough (Bond is betrayed by Elektra King, goes after her); Die Another Day (Bond is framed and imprisoned, goes after those responsible); Quantum of Solace (Bond swears revenge for the death of Vesper in Casino Royale).
Bond films may have things in short supply, but revenge plots aren't among them. This time it's personal (again).
–Chemistry, or lack thereof, with the actors involved. In SPECTRE, Lea Seydoux was very convincing when her Madeline Swann said she hated Daniel Craig's Bond. Not so much when Swann decided she was in love with Bond.
In 1969's Majesty's Diana Rigg as Tracy was very convincing as the character who made Bond feel she was "the one," his true love. Seydoux wasn't in that league, a point this blog made in a January 2016 post.
Or, as Philip Nobile Jr. of Birth. Movies. Death wrote: "Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux had absolutely no chemistry on together."
None of this will matter to advocates of using Majesty's and Twice as the basis for Bond 25. Blofeld Trilogy, Garden of Death and all that. We'll have to wait for a couple of years before seeing if there's anything to all this.

NY Post says Bond 25 reworks OHMSS plot
The Page Six gossip operation of Rupert Murdoch's New York Post said Bond 25 may rework the plot of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
"A Hollywood insider tells us that in the film that's so far been dubbed 'Bond 25': 'Bond quits the secret service, and he's in love and gets married,'" Page Six said. "The source continues that 'his wife then gets killed,' bringing Bond back into action."
"'The film's like 'Taken' with Bond,' says the source, who adds the suave spy is trying to avenge his wife's murder."
Page Six adds this caveat: "It's unclear if the writers will rework the plot after the leak."
At the end of 2015's SPECTRE, Bond (Daniel Craig) is driving off in the rebuilt Aston Martin DB5 with Madeline Swann (Lea Seydoux).
A Dec. 1, 2014 draft of the script had Bond saying, "We have all the time in the world." But that line isn't in the film.
That's the same line Bond (George Lazenby) tells Tracy (Diana Rigg) in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, a faithful adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1963 novel. Tracy is killed shortly thereafter.
Earlier drafts of SPECTRE included a henchwoman named Irma Bunt, also the name of a major character in Majesty's. But that character got dropped.
None of this background was mentioned by Page Six. The Page Six item also said Neal Purvis and Robert Wade "reportedly boarded" Bond 25. The duo's return was referenced in a July 24 announcement by Eon Productions that Bond 25 will have a November 2019 release date.
The Post is the U.S. equivalent of British tabloids in its gaudy tone. Page Six said in April that Craig was "ready to sign on to return as 007." Craig announced he was coming back for Bond 25 last month.

An early Bond 25 accuracy scorecard
Posted on August 16, 2017 by The Spy Commander
Bond 25 has a star (Daniel Craig), a release date (November 2019 in the U.S.) and confirmed writers (Neal Purvis and Robert Wade).
While there's more than two years before the next Bond film adventure, here's a look at the accuracy of some major stories written about the movie.
News before it was announced: By that, the stories were accurate before there was a formal announcement.
Baz Bamigboye of the Daily Mail wrote in March that Purvis and Wade, who've worked on the 007 film series since the late 1990s, were hired to write Bond 25's story. That was confirmed in a July 24 announcement on the official 007 website.
Emily Smith of Page Six/New York Post wrote in April and Brook Barnes of The York Times wrote in July that Daniel Craig would be back for a fifth outing as 007.
The Page Six item, being a gossip column, ragged on Tom Hiddleston being determined by Eon Productions to be too smug. That's certainly not proven.
But the key phrase was "Multiple sources tell Page Six that Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli has 'just about persuaded Daniel Craig to do one more Bond movie.'"
The Times' story, published the same day as the Eon announcement about the 2019 release date said, "Daniel Craig will play James Bond in at least one more film," In any event, Craig confirmed he's coming back on the Aug. 15 telecast of The Late Show on CBS.
Looking shaky: Radar Online in September 2016 said Sony Pictures offered Craig $150 million to do two more Bond movies. At the time, there was no distribution deal for Bond 25 and one still hasn't been announced.
Then, as now, nobody knows if Sony will even be involved with Bond 25. Given a release date has been announced, you'd think a distributor is in place but nobody outside of Eon actually knows.
The Mirror, a U.K. tabloid, said last month that Bond 25 will be titled Shatterhand and be based on a 007 continuation novel by Raymond Benson. Benson, however, went public and said nobody at the Mirror even contacted him and said he "can only assume the article is fabrication."
The Sun, Rupert Murdoch's U.K. tabloid, said earlier this month Craig was "on the verge of signing for not one but two more installments" in the 007 film series.
Craig told CBS, "I think this is it," referring to Bond 25. But people have been known to change their minds. We'll see.

How not to write a Bond 25 story
Posted on July 10, 2017 by The Spy Commander
Poster for SPECTRE
Like a cancer metastasizing throughout the body, The Mirror's July 8 story saying Daniel Craig is definitely returning as James Bond is spreading through the media.
Various outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, Fox News and Esquire have summarized the Mirror story.
However, The Mirror's original and the stories based on it have mostly overlooked some key facts. Very important facts. Here are some of them.
There's nobody to pay Daniel Craig — yet. The Mirror & Co. depict Eon Productions boss Barbara Broccoli as having a firm lock on his services.
Problem: Eon doesn't pay the bills of a Bond movie. The studio or studios involved do.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is Bond's home studio. But it can't release its own movies. It needs a studio partner to co-finance and distribute MGM films. And, for the moment, there is no Bond 25 distributor.
Maybe MGM reaches an agreement later this year. Maybe a commitment from Craig (even a verbal commitment) helps that process. But until it happens, nobody is available to actually pay Daniel Craig if he, indeed, is coming back.
There's no director yet. You can't have a movie without a director calling the shots. Maybe Bond 25 will get a director later this year. But until it does, not much is going to happen.
There's no script yet. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade were hired to come up with a story, according to the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, who has had a number of 007 scripts proven correct this decade.
The duo have had more than four months (and perhaps longer) to work up a story. But until a director comes on board, things can only go so far. Directors love to tweak story elements, etc. And that process can't begin until you have a director, etc.
What's this John Logan reference? The Mirror says John Logan, who worked on Skyfall and SPECTRE, is working on Bond 25. There's no evidence that's the case.
If it really is true, that would be a big turnaround. Thanks to the Sony hacks of 2014 (Sony Pictures released the last four 007 films), it's known that Eon was unhappy with Logan's first draft for SPECTRE, something that eventually led to the return of Purvis and Wade.
If (and that's a HUGE if) Logan really is involved with Bond 25 that's a major change. But, of course, you'd have to be familiar with the history to make note of that.
Has anything changed the past three months? In April, Page Six, the gossip operation of the New York Post also said Barbara Broccoli pretty much had Daniel Craig committed.
Has something actually changed since that report? The Page Six story got nowhere near the attention the Mirror has. Regardless, it's a notable piece of background.

Our latest Bond 25 questions
Posted on July 9, 2017 by The Spy Commander
It's summer. Instead of going to the beach the blog came up with some new Bond question after this weekend's story by the U.K. tabloid Mirror saying Daniel Craig would play 007 for a fifth time.
Here goes.
What's the difference between the July 8 Mirror story and an April 3 Page Six column?
Not that much on the main point.
"Daniel Craig has changed his mind and is set to sign up for his fifth Bond movie," The Mirror said.
"Multiple sources tell Page Six that Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli has 'just about persuaded Daniel Craig to do one more Bond movie,'" Page Six said more than three months earlier.
How solid is this newest story?
Reading the Mirror story is like trying to read quicksand — mushy and opaque.
The Mirror's story begins by making like Craig's return is a done deal. "But Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is said to have secured Craig – and we can reveal she is 'determined' that superstar singer Adele will record the theme tune."
To support this notion, the story presents a quote from a person it didn't identify.
"It's taken time but Daniel has come round and the strong consensus in the Bond offices is that Mr Craig is 007 again." (Emphasis added.)
Whoa! Consensus? Bond offices? Did the office personnel at Eon take a vote? Isn't Barbara Broccoli the one who decides everything? At least that's what Sam Mendes has said.
The Mirror's first paragraph said he's set to sign on the dotted line. What's this about a consensus? Is there some doubt, even a tiny bit? What gives?
Anything give you pause?
Adele has injured her vocal chords and canceled the last two stops of a tour. That's a potentially serious situation for a professional singer.
Despite that, the Mirror says, "Although Adele had to cancel the final two shows of her world tour because of damaged vocal chords, Barbara is said to be 'talking the singer round'."
Is this really the time to make a hard to Adele to sell to sing a Bond song — for a movie with no director or release date?
Also, the Mirror says, "Skyfall and Spectre scriptwriter John Logan is also said to be involved in the project."
That's interesting because Logan's first draft for SPECTRE was judged to need extensive reworking. So much so, that veteran 007 screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade were brought back to revise Logan's work. The extent of SPECTRE's scripting difficulties became public as a result of the 2014 hacking at Sony Pictures.
Baz Bamigboye of the Daily Mail reported in March that Purvis and Wade were hired to start work on a Bond 25 story.
That's not been officially confirmed but Bamigboye has a good track record of 007 scoops that prove to be correct.
Now, out of the blue, the Mirror brings Logan into the conversation. This is perhaps the shakiest aspect of the Mirror story.

Barbara Broccoli busy on non-007 projects, NY Post says
Posted on May 11, 2017 by The Spy Commander
Eon Productions boss Barbara Broccoli remains busy on non-James Bond projects and friends say "she's not sure when the next 007 film will shoot," the New York Post's Page Six gossip column said.
The gossip column quoted unidentified sources as saying the producer "is not waiting around" for actor for actor Daniel Craig to "get off his arse."
Page Six didn't specify Broccoli's movie projects. The movie Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool is scheduled to be released later this year. Variety reported in February Broccoli is involved with another drama titled Nancy. The MI6 James Bond website said in March that Eon also is working on a historical war movie.
The gossip column also referenced how Broccoli is producing a play based on the life of movie producer and executive Robert Evans.
Appropriate caveat: Page Six and the Post are known for their gossipy, tabloid tone. The Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., which owns the U.K. tabloid The Sun.
If Page Six is to be believed, Bond 25 still is in its earliest stages and Craig's return as Bond hasn't been nailed down. Page Six said in April that Craig was likely to return as Bond.
The Daily Mail reported in March that scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade were hired to work on Bond 25's story.

Our newest Bond 25 questions
Posted on April 8, 2017 by The Spy Commander
There's been a bit of Bond 25 news recently. Or has there?
Here are some questions intended to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Script? Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are working on a Bond 25 story, according to a report by the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye last month. Eon Productions never confirmed it, but typically it hasn't confirmed other 007 scoops Bamigboye had about Skyfall and SPECTRE.
How far along are Purvis and Wade? Maybe not very far.
The duo are in the midst of adapting the novel I Am Victor, according to an April 5 story in Deadline: Hollywood.
If Deadline is accurate, the writers "are understood to be finalizing the script before it goes out to cast." That suggests Purvis and Wade are, at best, in early days of their Bond 25 work.
Meanwhile, there's a possibility of a Writer's Guild strike early next month, which would adversely affect movie and television production.
What about that New York Post gossip column? Page Six says Eon Productions boss Barbara Broccoli is close to getting Daniel Criag to coming back for Bond 25. But it doesn't actually say it's a done deal.
So? There's still no Bond 25 director. There's still no Bond 25 distributor. Sony Pictures, which distributed the last four 007 films, saw its most recent two-picture 007 deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer expire with SPECTRE.
What are you trying to say? The blog is trying to say there may be more chaff than wheat at this point.
–You have a star (Craig) who hasn't publicly committed, despite plenty of opportunity to do so.
–You have a production company (Eon) that seems in no rush to produce the next Bond movie and is keeping busy on various non-007 projects.
–You have a studio (MGM) that seems busy with other matters.
The Wall Street Journal reported in February that MGM was trying to sell itself to a Chinese buyer but the deal fell apart. MGM never denied the story and at last month's investor call, the subejct never came up.
Meanwhile, MGM agreed this week to spend $1 billion to give itself sole ownership of the Epix premium TV channel. If the Epix investment works out, that would help MGM's finances every year. Bond movies, still one of MGM's biggest assets, come out only so often.
MGM doesn't have a studio partner to release Bond 25. Sony Pictures has released the last four Bonds, but Sony's most recent two-picture deal expired with SPECTRE.
In March 2016, MGM CEO Gary Barber had this to say about seeking a new 007 distribution deal.
"There's no rush," Barber said. "We're evaluating all of our options. We will advise on the deal when we actually make it."
Obviously, he was right about the "no rush" part.

Craig likely to return as Bond, NY Post says
Eon co-boss Barbara Broccoli and current 007 star Daniel Craig
Eon Productions boss Barbara Broccoli is on the verge of getting Daniel Craig to come back for a fifth appearance as James Bond, the New York Post's Page Six gossip column said late Monday.
Here's an excerpt:
Multiple sources tell Page Six that Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli has "just about persuaded Daniel Craig to do one more Bond movie." This comes after Broccoli produced his hit off-Broadway production of "Othello" with David Oyelowo, which won Craig the serious acting plaudits he craved.
A Hollywood source said, "Daniel was very pleased with how 'Othello' went and the great reviews. Now Daniel's talks with Barbara are going in the right direction. They have a script — screenwriting duo Neal Purvis and Robert Wade [who've penned several Bond movies] are writing and they'll go into production as soon as Daniel is ready to commit."
Page Six goes on to say that Broccoli wasn't impressed with actor Tom Hiddleston, mentioned as a would-be replacement for several months last year. The gossip column said Broccoli and Craig didn't answer requests for comment.
The return of Purvis and Wade as writers was reported last month by Baz Bamigboye of the Daily Mail.
Both Broccoli and Craig have other work over the next several months. Broccoli is involved with various non-Bond films, including one where Eon purchased a helicopter. That spurred publicity it might be for Bond 25. Craig will be in Purity, a made-for-cable-television series for Showtime.
Also, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, home studio for the Bond films, has yet to line up a distribution partner. Sony Pictures has distributed the past four 007 movies but its most recent two-picture deal expired with SPECTRE.

As 007's lost year ends, will Eon follow its own advice?
Posted on December 17, 2016 by The Spy Commander
James Bond, feeling sad after examining his back story one more time.
As 2016 draws to a close, the future of the film James Bond is a little up in the air.
It's been a bit of a lost year. No progress toward a finding a studio to release Bond 25. No public announcement about a writer or director. No hint about a release date.
With that in mind, will Eon Productions follow its own advice about how to carry on a film franchise?
On July 31, 2012, Eon's Michael G. Wilson gave an address about the subject. Among his recommendations:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a "formula for complacency"
"It's important to change things, to get ahead of the curve before things taper off," Wilson said.
In the last week, tabloids in the U.S. and U.K. have come out with studios saying that Eon or Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are determined that Daniel Craig's decade-long reign as 007 continue.
The Page Six feature of the New York Post said Eon boss Barbara Broccoli is producing the off-Broadway play Othello, where Craig plays Iago, to eventually get the actor back for Bond 25. The U.K. Mirror said MGM was "panicked" after not hearing anything from Craig.
If there's any truth to either (which remains to be seen), it doesn't appear as if anyone is looking to make a major change.
"Believe in your brand. Cubby Broccoli used to say Bond is the star"
"That means that Bond is bigger than any actor who portrays him," Wilson said, "and no writer, director or producer is indispensable."
"It all boils down to don't be afraid of change"
"The Bond films have been recast six times and each time the series was re-evented," Wilson said. "Each actor brought out different aspects of the character."
"We believe story is not an element, the story is a key to a good film."
The last two Bond films, Skyfall and SPECTRE, included Bond confronting his backstory. They sold a lot of tickets in theaters.
Eon could continue down that path. Perhaps Bond could discover his father wasn't his actual father. The agent could confront, yet again, a major personal crisis. That could yield many dramatic moments.
Or the filmmakers could change yet again.
If you want to watch Wilson make his comments, the quotes cited here begin after the 11:00 mark:

Q: Does the floor of a number preserve order? For example, say you got x < y for some x and y. Then
$\lfloor x \rfloor \geq \lfloor y \rfloor $ ?  Is it always the case?
The reason why I am confused on this point is I was reading a solution posted on chegg which doesn't seem convincing.
The question states to prove $\lfloor x + y \rfloor \geq \lfloor x \rfloor + \lfloor y \rfloor$ for some real $x,y$. And their proof states that $x \geq \lfloor x \rfloor$ and $y \geq \lfloor y \rfloor$ then $x + y \geq \lfloor x \rfloor + \lfloor y \rfloor$. I understand this part, but then they said since the greatest integer function (floor) preserve order, then
$\lfloor x + y \rfloor  \leq \lfloor  \lfloor x \rfloor \rfloor + \lfloor  \lfloor y \rfloor \rfloor = \lfloor x \rfloor + \lfloor y \rfloor$
which is not true. Assume it is true then since floor preserve order then the negation of $\geq$ is $<$ not $\leq$
if you guys can explain this it would be great! thank you

A: If $x<y$, then $\lfloor x\rfloor\leq\lfloor y\rfloor$. (Your inequality is flipped.)

love your photos!!!! Was wondering if prints are for sale? My Father In Law is a retired Doctor and he will be 93 this summer. He and his wife both graduated from there, as well as did their two children. They are so hard to by for these would be perfect, especially if you should have any of buildings medical classes would have been held in during the early 1940's.

Pyongyang says peninsula inching to 'brink of war'
North Korea said on Friday that impending military exercises by the South and the United States are pushing the region towards war, days after it launched its heaviest bombardment since the 1950-53 Korean War.
South Korean media said President Lee Myung-bak would appoint a career military man as new defence minister after the current minister resigned in the face of criticsm for being too slow to respond to Tuesday's bombardment of an island close to a disputed sea border. The government said it was still deciding.
"The situation on the Korean Peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war due to the reckless plan of those trigger-happy elements to stage again war exercises targeted against the [North]," the North's official KCNA news agency said.
The aggressive language was typical for North Korean state-owned media but amid the heightened tension was enough to push the won down slightly. The stock market barely reacted.
The warning came as South Korean media reported President Lee Myng-bak would name his security adviser, Lee Hee-won, as the new defence minister later in the day.
He would replace Kim Tae-young, who resigned after criticism about the pace of Seoul's response to Tuesday's shelling of an island near their disputed maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea, the most aggressive by the North since the 1950-53 Korean War.
The United States is sending in naval ships, led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington, to the Yellow Sea for military exercises with the South Korean navy.
"The exercises will be held on Sunday as planned and the George Washington is on its way here to arrive on Sunday," a spokesperson for US Forces Korea said.
Planned before this week's attack, the four-day manoeuvres are a show of strength which, besides enraging North Korea, have already unsettled China, its major ally and neighbour.
Washington is pressing China to rein in its ally North Korea to help ease tension in the world's fastest-growing economic region.
Speak to Hu
US President Barack Obama is likely to speak with Chinese President Hu Jintao within days about the Korean situation, a White House official said, though no date had been.
But a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said the focus should be placed on a revival of the stalled six-party talks grouping the two Koreas, Russia, China, Japan and the United States. He also expressed concern about the US-South Korea military exercises.
"We have noted the relevant reports and express our concern about this," spokesperson Hong Lei said.
China has long propped up the Pyongyang leadership, worried that a collapse of North Korea could bring instability to its own borders. Beijing is also wary of a unified Korea that would be dominated by the United States.
Reclusive and unpredictable North Korea has defied international efforts to halt its nuclear ambitions. It fired shells at the island of Yeonpyeong off the peninsula's west coast on Tuesday, killing two civilians and two soldiers and destroying dozens of houses.
The attack marked the first civilian deaths in an assault since the bombing of a South Korean airliner in 1987.
South Korean troops fired back 13 minutes later, causing unknown damage. Members of President Lee's own party and opposition lawmakers accused the military of responding too slowly.
Hundreds of former South Korean soldiers held a protest rally in the border town of Paju on Friday, accusing the government of being too weak.
"The lazy government's policies towards North Korea are too soft," said Kim Byeong-su, the president of the association of ex-marines.
"It needs to take revenge on a bunch of mad dogs. We need to show them South Korea is not to be played with."
The president accepted the defence minister's resignation "to improve the atmosphere in the military and to handle the series of incidents", a presidential official said.
Lee, tipped to be the new minister, is a career military man who advocates a "smart" military able to anticipate and react quickly to North Korea's unpredictable moves.
He is experienced in military operations and is a former deputy deputy commander of the US-South Korea combined forces command, the cornerstone of Seoul's defence policy and its relationship with its biggest ally. – Reuters

Florida Summers Increase Risk of Carbon Monoxide Exposure
Summertime in Florida means fun on the water and stormy weather – and both bring an increased danger for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Each year, more than 10,000 individuals will suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning and 500 will die from inhalation of this toxic gas.
Many exposures are the result of exhaust fumes from boat engines and portable generators used on boats, or during the frequent power outages that come along with Florida's hurricane season.
Victims of carbon monoxide poisoning may be eligible for financial compensation when exposure to carbon monoxide is the result of faulty inspections, poor maintenance, manufacturer defects, or other neglectful practices.
Learn how to prevent carbon dioxide poisoning and how to collect compensation if you or a loved one has experienced an exposure.
Boating-Related Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazards
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 800 cases of carbon monoxide poisonings and 140 deaths were the result of boating-related exposures in the last 15 years. More than 300 of these cases occurred on houseboats. Over 200 were due to boat generator exhaust.
Gas, charcoal, kerosene, and oil-burning boat engines and onboard power generators produce carbon monoxide as a byproduct. Carbon monoxide can settle on the water's surface and accumulate in closed spaces of boats that are running but moving slowly or idling.
In addition, engines, generators, and exhaust systems may be in disrepair or may have leaks or manufacturing defects that cause incomplete combustion.
Because exhaust vents are often located near the rear of the boat, especially in larger vessels like houseboats and yachts, carbon monoxide can build up quickly in the water around rear swim decks, in cabins and cockpits, and under rain tarps or shade umbrellas.
Tubers or "teak surfers" who body surf behind ski boats are also in danger of exposure and drowning.
Carbon monoxide is both colorless and odorless. Individuals who inhale carbon monoxide can suffer permanent damage or death within minutes - before experiencing any symptoms of exposure. Swimmers can lose consciousness and drown.
Hurricane Season Brings Increased CO Poisoning Risk
Floridians who aren't spending time on the water can also be at elevated risk for carbon monoxide poisoning. Hurricanes and tropical storms bring frequent power outages.
Many Florida residents have invested in portable generators to keep things running during storm season.
Home generators used for cooking, electronics, air conditioning, and lighting are a major cause of carbon monoxide poisoning in Florida each year.
According to the CDC, six deaths and 167 carbon monoxide poisonings occurred in the 2004 Florida hurricane season alone. Gas-powered generators were the cause of 96% of the nonfatal poisonings, and five of the six deaths.
A majority of these incidents involved generators placed outdoors, and 86% percent of the victims did not own a CO detector at the time.
How to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The only sign of carbon monoxide is the symptoms it produces. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure can include:
Loss of consciousness
Remember that exposure can result in long-term damage or death even before any of these symptoms have time to develop. Taking preventative measures before exposure is the best way to ensure your safety.
Take these precautions when boating or using portable generators:
Follow all manufacturer safety instructions.
Turn engines and generators off when possible.
Only use portable generators outdoors, at least 15 feet away from doors, basements, garages, and windows.
Schedule regular, professional inspections of engines, generators, fuel-burning appliances, and exhaust systems.
Swim or lounge only near the front of boats or pontoons – especially when the craft is idling.
Stay away from exhaust vents.
Stay back 20 feet when body surfing or water skiing.
Install carbon monoxide detectors in all sleeping quarters.
Test carbon monoxide detector batteries often.
Wear a life jacket at all times.
Anchor or dock at least 20 feet away from other boats running generators or engines.
If you suspect someone has been exposed to carbon monoxide, immediately move them into fresh air and call 911.
Financial Recovery Available for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning or Death
Under Florida Stat. § 509.211, all enclosed spaces containing fuel-burning appliances (boilers, generators, engines) located in public lodging establishments with sleeping compartments (including houseboats, yachts, and hotels) must contain CO detectors.
These detectors must be tested regularly, listed as compliant, and integrated with the lodging establishment's fire detection system.
Unfortunately, many companies attempt to skirt the law to save a buck, choosing profits over safety. If you or a loved one has suffered health issues or death due to carbon monoxide exposure, several entities may be responsible, including property owners, employers, maintenance and inspection companies, boat, generator or CO detector manufacturers, and boat or generator rental companies.
An experienced carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer will investigate all possibilities to determine what caused the carbon monoxide exposure and identify all parties responsible.
Victims of carbon monoxide poisoning may be eligible to recover:
Lost wages and benefits
Income loss
Bereavement compensation
Laws governing boating accidents and commercial vessels can be complex. Fighting a manufacturer or maintenance company for compensation can be difficult without the experience of a leading carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer.
Our Florida based carbon monoxide poisoning lawyers have the experience necessary to expose company negligence, protect your rights and recover your financial losses.
Are you suffering from effects of carbon monoxide exposure, or have you lost a loved one to carbon monoxide exposure in a boat, home, hotel, workplace, or other location? Learn whether your situation qualifies you for financial compensation in a free, confidential case evaluation.

Throughout the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the battle between Nurse Ratched and McMurphy. Both sides win small battles or skirmishes throughout the book. McMurphy refuses to conform to the hospitals plans and makes it his goal to get the patients to think for themselves instead of following every rule. Nurse Ratched is a cold person who supposedly is unbreakable in her composure. In the battle between Nurse Ratched and McMurphy the victor is McMurphy because he shows that Ratched is human and that the patients can think for themselves.
In part one during the group meeting McMurphy tries to get a vote to watch the World Series. After All 20 acutes agree but none of the chronics do, Nurse Ratched closes the voting but McMurphy still gets the Chief to raise his hand. This is the first sign that McMurphy is beating Ratched in the battle. He is getting the patients to think for themselves which is a big step.
Later on in part one he sits down and turns on the baseball game. Although Nurse Ratched cuts off the power He pretends not to notice. As more acutes join him around the blank T.V. As a group they sit there and act like they are watching the game. Nurse Ratched loses her temper and starts ranting and raving at McMurphy. He shows that she isn't unbeatable or anything more than human. That is another great success.
Near the end McMurphy finally resorts to physical violence. He chokes Nurse Ratched but gets pulled off before killing her. He is sent for a lobotomy and returns as a vegetable. Although it seems like Nurse Ratched has won she has actually lost. Before he comes back many of the patients transfer or leave the hospital. He has done what he intended by inspiring the other men to stand up for themselves.

Sevim Tekeli (Esmirna, 22 de diciembre de 1924) es una destacada profesora turca de Historia de la Ciencia.

Trayectoria
Tekeli recibió educación primaria en diferentes ciudades de Turquía ya que su padre, Osman Nuri Tekeli, trabajaba como gobernador en varias provincias. Se graduó en la Escuela Superior de Niñas de Uskudar.

Obtuvo una licenciatura en filosofía en la Universidad de Ankara. Ella se sintió atraída por la historia de la ciencia durante sus estudios de licenciatura bajo la influencia de Aydin Sayili.

Comenzó su carrera como asistente de investigación del Profesor Doctor Aydın Sayılı en el Departamento de Filosofía de la Universidad de Ankara en 1952.

Trabajos
Las obras de Tekeli se centran principalmente en la historia de la astronomía otomana, particularmente en las obras del famoso astrónomo Taqi al Din.

Cuando la profesora Tekeli comenzó sus estudios de doctorado, fue muy difícil encontrar estudios y materiales científicos en Turquía sobre la historia de la ciencia otomana. Ella decidió superar tales problemas. Finalmente, Tekeli venció todos estos desafíos y completó su tesis doctoral, "La comparación de los instrumentos de observación de Nasir al Din al Tûsî, Tycho Brahe y Taqi al Din", bajo la supervisión de Aydın Sayılı en 1956. Su tesis doctoral en la que hizo comparaciones entre Nasir al Din al Tûsî, Tycho Brahe y Taqi al Din en términos de los instrumentos de observación que habían utilizado se publicó más tarde con el mismo título.

También se interesó en el desarrollo del esfuerzo científico en la Europa occidental del siglo XVII y así mismo en la comparación de los desarrollos en Rusia en ese momento y en el Imperio Otomano en términos de actividades científicas y logros. También examinó los efectos del Imperio Otomano en el Renacimiento . Analizó particularmente las razones detrás de la superioridad y el liderazgo del Imperio Otomano en el mundo islámico a principios del siglo XVII.

Continuó su investigación sobre Taqi al Din y publicó otro libro, Las estrellas más brillantes de la construcción de los relojes mecánicos, que se basó en su tesis doctoral. En este libro, reveló que Taqi al Din fue uno de los astrónomos más importantes del siglo XVI. También tiene estudios sobre el mapa de Piri Reis y Muhyi al Din . Fue una de los primeras eruditas turcas que descubrió las actividades de astronomía durante el período de los otomanos.

The meteors or "falling stars" that you commonly see in the sky are pea sized pieces of rock and ice, solar system and comet debris, that happen to strike the earth's atmosphere and "burn up" at altitudes of 70 miles or so.
On any arbitrary night of the year, there are a few "sporadic" meteors; perhaps 15 or so per hour. Several times during the year there are "showers" of meteors, when you may see 20 - 60 additional meteors per hour which, although they appear in all parts of the sky, seem to be coming from a particular point in the sky called the radiant. The shower is named after the radiant, like the Orionids, which peak about October 12, and appear to radiate from the constellation of Orion. The best two regular showers of the year are the Geminids about December 12 and the Perseids about August 12. During these showers you may see 60 or more meteors per hour.
To see meteors well, you need to go out to a dark sky site. We always see more meteors after midnight; then we are on the side of the earth facing forward along its motion around the sun, so we run into more space debris. The best way to watch for meteors is to dress warmly and lie back in a lawn chair so you can see the whole sky. Have a blanket or sleeping bag handy for additional warmth.
The Leonids are a regular small shower about Nov 17 each year. But the Leonids are known to peak every 33 years, sometimes in a meteor storm with thousands of meteors per hour. In 1966 observers in the SW US saw 150,000 meteors per hour! Watch for this "End of the World" Leonid meteor storm in the early morning hours of Tuesday morning Nov. 17 in 1999. Unfortunately, the expected peak in the meteor rate doesn't occur until after dawn on the West Coast, so we have to hope to see a build-up towards the maximum rate as dawn approaches. Observers in Asia have a better chance to see the peak of the storm. Of course, there is always a chance that the predictions a little off and the peak comes early or late. NASA is taking this event seriously, and closing down the Hubble pace Telescope and pointing it away from the storm radiant, and taking what measures they can to protect the other satellites.

UFC's Roufus, Pettis, Meerschaert visit Drew & KB
posted by Drew Olson Show staff - Dec 5, 2018
Legendary MMA coach and Milwaukee native Duke Roufus of the Roufusport MMA Academy dropped by the 97.3 The Game studio Wednesday morning along with fighters Sergio Pettis and Gerald Meerschaert, whom he is preparing for "UFC Fight Night" on Dec. 15 at Fiserv Forum.
The trio visited with morning show hosts Drew Olson and KB (Kevin Brandt), who has known Roufus for decades.
The fighters spent an entire hour chatting about their background in the sport as well as upcoming event, the evolution of Roufusport and Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's prospects as a mixed-martial artist.
Enjoy the podcast. And be sure to listen to "Drew and KB" from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for your chance to win tickets for the fight. (CONTINUED)
Admission for the event, the first UFC event at Fiserv Forum, begins at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 15.
HERE IS A PRESS RELEASE FROM FISERV FORUM.
UFC® is coming for the first time to Fiserv Forum on Saturday, Dec. 15, for a pivotal rematch between top lightweight contenders, as No. 5-ranked Kevin Lee battles No. 9 Al Iaquinta. UFC FIGHT NIGHT®: LEE vs. IAQUINTA 2 will air live on FOX. Tickets for the fight at Milwaukee's new world-class arena go on sale to the general public on Friday, Oct. 19, at 10 a.m., and can be purchased here.
"We have an awesome card for UFC Fight night on Dec. 15, 2018, at Fiserv Forum," said Fiserv Forum General Manager Raj Saha. "There are great match-ups, and we are really looking forward to seeing many of the Milwaukee-based fighters in action."
Lee (17-3, fighting out of Las Vegas) believes he is finally breaking into his prime, and he looks to re-insert himself into the lightweight title discussion with another impressive victory in Wisconsin. In his most recent outing, the 26-year-old earned an exciting TKO victory over elite striker, Edson Barboza. This marked his sixth victory in seven fights, with five coming by way of stoppage. Having already challenged for the interim title, Lee has established himself as a top talent to watch in one of UFC's deepest divisions and is excited to avenge the first loss of his career.
Fan favorite Iaquinta (13-4-1, fighting out of Wantagh, New York) is coming off an outstanding performance against current UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, after winning five fights in a row, four by way of KO. Iaquinta looks to take that experience and get back into the win column by proving his first victory over Lee in 2014 was no fluke. Coming from a wrestling base, Iaquinta has evolved throughout his MMA career. The majority of his victories have come via KO, taking out established UFC lightweight veterans Ross Pearson, Joe Lauzon, and Diego Sanchez along the way.
UFC FIGHT NIGHT®: LEE vs. IAQUINTA 2 will also feature another bout between world-class lightweights, as No. 6-ranked contender Edson Barboza welcomes fellow dangerous finisher No. 14 Dan Hooker to the deep end of the division.
One of the best strikers at 155 pounds, Barboza (19-5, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Florida, by way of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) looks to return to his highlight KO-winning ways, as fans have seen with his spectacular finishes over Beneil Dariush, Evan Dunham and Terry Etim. Barboza is excited to share the Octagon® with an opponent who will test his standup and aims to break back into the top five with another signature finish.
Former featherweight Hooker (18-7, fighting out of Auckland, New Zealand) has been undefeated since moving up to lightweight, winning four fights in a row with all ending before the final horn. Fans are excited to see how far Hooker can go in the stacked 155-pound division, having already taken out established veterans Ross Pearson, Jim Miller and Gilbert Burns. Hooker looks to prove himself ready for the top 10 by taking on the toughest test of his career.

No. 11-ranked bantamweight Rob Font (15-4, fighting out of Woburn, Massachusetts) welcomes flyweight contender Sergio Pettis (17-4, fighting out of Milwaukee) to the 135-pound division.No. 10 flyweight contender Jessica-Rosa Clark (9-4, 1 NC, fighting out of Innisfail, Australia) looks to get back in the win column against No. 15-ranked Andrea Lee (9-2, fighting out of Shreveport, Louisiana).Dan Ige (9-2, fighting out of Haleiwa, Hawaii) takes on fellow DANA WHITE'S TUESDAY NIGHT CONTENDER SERIES alum Jordan Griffin (17-5, fighting out of Milwaukee).Bobby Green (24-8-1, fighting out of Fontana, California) aims to be the first man to finish rising star Drakkar Klose (9-1-1, fighting out of Glendale, Arizona).Gerald Meerschaert (28-9, fighting out of Milwaukee) looks to make it three wins in a row against fellow rising middleweight contender Jack Hermansson (17-4, fighting out of Oslo, Norway).Veteran Erik Koch (15-6, fighting out of Milwaukee) intends to spoil the debut of DWTNCS stand out Dwight Grant (8-1, fighting out of San Jose, California)Jared Gordon (14-2, fighting out of Astoria, N.Y.) meets Joaquim Silva (10-1, fighting out of Curitiba, Brazil), with both looking to bounce back from the first losses of their UFC careers.
