COCKROACHES AND PALACE

The Express Tribune

Cockroaches made me want new palace, says Erdogan

HAMAM SARAY

ISTANBUL: If cockroaches infest someone’s house or office, they might put down some poison or maybe call in the pest-controllers. 
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey had a more radical solution.
The presence of cockroaches in his old offices, he revealed in an interview, were the reason why he needed a vast new presidential palace outside Ankara. 
Erdogan’s new $615 million presidential palace in the outskirts of Ankara has been ridiculed by the opposition as the tasteless and needless extravagance of an increasingly authoritarian leader. 
But in an interview with A-Haber television broadcast late on Friday, Erdogan said his reasons for needing the 1,150-room palace palace were much more mundane. 
He said his old offices when he was prime minister from 2003-2014 were infested with cockroaches.
“A guest would come to the old prime ministry office and find cockroaches in the bathroom. That’s why we built this palace”. 
“Does such a place befit the prime ministry of Turkey? If a guest comes are you going to put them there? If they see this, what if they tell what they saw?” he asked. 
Erdogan has always defended the building of the palace, saying it is a worthy symbol of the new Turkey he is trying to build. 
He has already hosted high-ranking guests there, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Pope Francis. 
Erdogan’s election to the presidency in August 2014 led to a musical chairs of palaces, with him moving to the new palace and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu moving to the old presidential palace in central Ankara, the Cankaya.
Neither leader now uses the old prime ministry offices. 
The new palace has been the subject of a sometimes farcical dispute in the run-up to Sunday’s legislative elections between Erdogan and the main opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, who accused him of having golden toilet seats there.
Erdogan dared Kilicdaroglu to personally come to the palace and find the toilet seats, saying he would resign if he found any. 
His lawyer then filed a lawsuit seeking 100,000 Turkish Liras ($37,300) in compensation for slander from Kilicdaroglu over the golden toilet comment.

TERRY HANCOCK’S NEW ORION

Deep View Of Orion

Except for my mosaic this is my widest and probably deepest view ever of The Great Orion Nebula combining data captured from my Bortle 4.0 sky and amateur backyard observatory in Fremont, Michigan from 2010 through to 2014 using QHY9 and QHY11 Mono CCD’s, 5 inch TMB 130, 3.6″ TMB92 refractor and Takahashi E180 Astrograph. Collected using LRGB + H-A filters and covering 4.08 x 2.91 degrees of sky. The constellation of Orion is home to many treasures, including the Orion Nebula seen here. A small part of the immense Orion Molecular Cloud, M42 is perhaps the most studied extra-solar object in the sky. intricate and picturesque filaments of dust.

NASA DATA : NO POLAR ICE RETREAT

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT 5/19/2015 @ 9:53AM 339,692 views

Updated NASA Data: Global Warming Not Causing Any Polar Ice Retreat

Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earth’s polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979. Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.

The timing of the 1979 NASA satellite instrument launch could not have been better for global warming alarmists. The late 1970s marked the end of a 30-year cooling trend. As a result, the polar ice caps were quite likely more extensive than they had been since at least the 1920s. Nevertheless, this abnormally extensive 1979 polar ice extent would appear to be the “normal” baseline when comparing post-1979 polar ice extent.

Updated NASA satellite data show the polar ice caps remained at approximately their 1979 extent until the middle of the last decade. Beginning in 2005, however, polar ice modestly receded for several years. By 2012, polar sea ice had receded by approximately 10 percent from 1979 measurements. (Total polar ice area – factoring in both sea and land ice – had receded by much less than 10 percent, but alarmists focused on the sea ice loss as “proof” of a global warming crisis.)

NASA satellite measurements show the polar ice caps have not retreated at all.

NASA satellite measurements show the polar ice caps have not retreated at all.

A 10-percent decline in polar sea ice is not very remarkable, especially considering the 1979 baseline was abnormally high anyway. Regardless, global warming activists and a compliant news media frequently and vociferously claimed the modest polar ice cap retreat was a sign of impending catastrophe. Al Gore even predicted the Arctic ice cap could completely disappear by 2014.

In late 2012, however, polar ice dramatically rebounded and quickly surpassed the post-1979 average. Ever since, the polar ice caps have been at a greater average extent than the post-1979 mean.

Now, in May 2015, the updated NASA data show polar sea ice is approximately 5 percent above the post-1979 average.

During the modest decline in 2005 through 2012, the media presented a daily barrage of melting ice cap stories. Since the ice caps rebounded – and then some – how have the media reported the issue.

“Climate change is melting more than just the polar ice caps”

“2020: Antarctic ice shelf could collapse”

“An Arctic ice cap’s shockingly rapid slide into the sea”

“New satellite maps show polar ice caps melting at ‘unprecedented rate’”

The only Google News items even hinting that the polar ice caps may not have melted so much (indeed not at all) came from overtly conservative websites. The “mainstream” media is alternating between maintaining radio silence on the extended run of above-average polar ice and falsely asserting the polar ice caps are receding at an alarming rate.

To be sure, receding polar ice caps are an expected result of the modest global warming we can expect in the years ahead. In and of themselves, receding polar ice caps have little if any negative impact on human health and welfare, and likely a positive benefit by opening up previously ice-entombed land to human, animal, and plant life. Nevertheless, polar ice cap extent will likely be a measuring stick for how much the planet is or is not warming.

The Earth has warmed modestly since the Little Ice Age ended a little over 100 years ago, and the Earth will likely continue to warm modestly as a result of natural and human factors. As a result, at some point in time, NASA satellite instruments should begin to report a modest retreat of polar ice caps. The modest retreat – like that which happened briefly from 2005 through 2012 – would not be proof or evidence of a global warming crisis. Such a retreat would merely illustrate that global temperatures are continuing their gradual recovery from the Little Ice Age. Such a recovery – despite alarmist claims to the contrary – would not be uniformly or even on balance detrimental to human health and welfare. Instead, an avalanche of scientific evidence indicates recently warming temperatures have significantly improved human health and welfare, just as warming temperatures have always done.

 

NASA : “ICE CAPS ARE NOT MELTING”

New NASA Report Reveals Ice Caps Are Not Melting

Ever since 1979, NASA satellites have been collecting data on the extent of the Earth’s polar ice caps. Traditionally, this information has been used to prove the threat global warming poses to the human race. If the ice caps are melting, it could displace millions of people living along coastlines across the planet. However, new data posted on NASA’s website suggests that the ice caps may not be melting after all.

The report shows that when the data is averaged, the extent of the ice caps remained static until 2005, which is when they started to recede. By 2012, they had lost 10% of their original mass. But since that time, the ice caps have increased 5% over the 1979 average. In any event, it turns out that the 1979 benchmark used to gauge ice melt, was abnormally high. At the time, our planet had witnessed the end of a 30 year cooling period, thus our ice caps were much larger than they would normally be.

This information appears to be in direct contrast to NASA’s previous reports. The data update arrived less than a week after NASA announced that the Larson B Ice Shelf, which is widely believed to be over 10,000 years old, would melt and disintegrate over the next few years.

DR. ZAFER ÖNER’DEN “ÇIKIK ÇİVİLER”

Çıkık Çiviler…
Kulak misafiri oldum;adam diyordu ki 
“Çivisi çıktı kardeşim,çivisi”…
Neyin çivisiydi acaba çıkan?
***
Bir çiviyi düz bir duvara çakarsanız
yani çivinin başına çekiçle düzgün vurursanız,
çiviyi eğmeden duvara sokabilirsiniz.
Çivinin tümünü duvara gömersiniz yani,ama bir işe yaramaz…
Duvarı zedelemeden de o çiviyi çıkaramazsınız!
Baş kısmı biraz dışarda kalırsa,çivinin…
…o zaman,ancak ve belki askı görevi görür. Hem duvarın (ya da nereye çakıldıysa oranın) hem çivinin gücüne göre yük çeker, yarım giren çivi de kolayca çıkartılabilir!
***
Bir veya birkaç parçayı birarada tutmak için de çivi kullanılır…
Çivinin başı da dahil parçaların içine,düzgün bir şekilde 
girmelidir o çivi,ki parçaları bir arada tutabilsin…
Eğer varsa üzerindeki tırtıklar sayesinde çivinin geri çıkması da zorlaşır ve  parçalar dağılmazlar.
Adamın kastettiği çivi,tırtıksız bir çivimiydi acaba?
***
Üçünü de severim aslında…
Herbiri değişik mevkilerde…
Biri diğerine diyor ki…
Falanca hastanede bir hekim var…
Onu şu bölüme alalım.
O “diğeri” de o “birine” diyor ki…
O bölümde benim “güvendiğim biri” var, “ona git” diyor…
O “güvendiği biri” belki de yandaşı belki de sırdaşı,orasını bilemem artık…
…o “güvendiği biri” de diyor ki cevaben,bize genç asistan ve uzman lazım!
Yani aday’ı uygun görmüyor…
Ne oldu,güvenilmez mi oldu,güvenilir kişi ?
Çürük mü çıktı,yani?
***
Gönderdiği kişi,yani “güvendiği”;bir şahıs,tekil yani!
Tek bir kişi yani…
Üstelik:
Dekan değil
Bölüm başkanı değil
Ana bilim dalı başkanı değil
Aslında güvendiği de değil!
Bir şekilde yandaşı mı, yoksa yandaş olduğunu mu sanıyor ,
bilmiyorum!
Akademik kurulların esamesi zaten hiç okunmuyor…
Bu,mutad bir olay haline geldi artık,ülkemizde;teamüllere uyulmaksızın herşeyi kılıfına uydurmak…
Burada;çıkan herhangi bir şey ya da bir çivi yok galiba!
“Birbiriyle alakasız,kurul-kural-teamül tanımayan üç kişinin densizliği var”, denebilir mi ki ?
Denemez çünkü bu gibi densizliklerle atamalar yapılıyor,ne yazık ki!
Haydi liyakati bırakalım bir tarafa,ihtiyaca bile bakılmıyor!
Kimsenin umrunda değil işlerin yürütülememesi…
Şu kadar asistan ihtiyacım var diyorsun…
Üstelik sordukları için sevinerek cevap veriyorsun…
Sanki sorunu çözeceklermiş beklentisi ile…
Sonuç sükut-u hayal!
Niye soruyorsun o zaman be adam?
Neden?
Sana ne özel hastanenin bile kadrosundan…
Sana ne?
Bu da mı çivisellik içeriyor yoksa, ne dersiniz?
***
“Çivisi çıktı çivisi” dedi ya adam…
Onu hangi amaçla söylediğini bilmiyorum,ama…
Hem Ortadoğu’nun hem Türkiye’nin hem Ankara’nın 
hem de Hacettepe’nin çivisinin çıktığını  sanıyorum…
Kesinlikle bunu kastetmiştir adam!
Çivi dediysek,üzeri tırtıklı,yerine tam oturmuş,çıkartılması zor,sağlam çiviyi kastetmiyorum tabii ki!
***
Hakikaten,”Ülkenin çivisi çıktı” mı dedi acaba adamcağız,
bağımsız kurumlarının yeterince işletilmediğini mi kastetti acaba?
Yerleşik teamüllerin yok edildiğini mi kastetti?
Adaletin,eğitimin,güvenliğin,
demokrasinin,sosyal devlet kavramının,gelir dağılımının…
hepsinin birden çarpıklığını mı kastetti dersiniz?
Senin benim kavgasının başladığını mı kastetti yoksa?
Tarikat cemaat gölgesinde din savaşlarının tehlikesini mi söylemek istedi acaba?
…Çivisi çıktı derken…
***
Dönüşüm adı altında tarımda,imarda,ulaşımda,sağlıkta devrim yaptılar sözümona…
Op. Dr. Kamil Furtun’u duydunuz mu?
Hani bir meczup tarafından ÖLDÜRÜLDÜ ya!
Hani TGRT ‘de bir dangalak “gene bir doktoru halletmişler” dedi ya! Görevi başında iken vurulan arkadaşımız için!
Acaba bu “çıkan çivinin” bu meczup tarafından öldürülen 
“Op. Dr. Kâmil Furtun cinayeti” ile bir ilişkisi var mıdır?
Yoksa bir tesadüfün yarattığı bir istisna mıdır ?
Sağlıkta dönüşüm politikası gibi !
Belki de mesleğin fıtratında mı vardır yoksa,kim bilir?
***
Ben de bu durumları şu andaki parlamento adayları ve parti müsveddelerinin düzeltemeyeceği endişesini yaşıyorum…
Daha doğrusu politikayı meslek edinenler,çıkar kapısı olarak görenler,ikbal amaçlı politikaya katılanlar…
Sorunlarımızı çözemezler gibi geliyor bana…
Adam neyin çivisinin çıktığını kastediyordu acaba?
Çivisi çıkmayan birşey kalmadı ki?
Belki de adam yeni bir çıkık çivi buldu,kim bilir?

LEARNING ABOUT POLITICS

  Learning About Politics  

A little boy goes to see his Dad and asks, “Dad, What is politics?”

His Dad says: “Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I’m the breadwinner of the family, so let’s call me the Treasury. 
Your Mum, she’s the administrator of the money, so we’ll call her the Government. 
We’re here to take care of your needs, so we’ll call you The People. 
The nanny, we’ll consider her the Working Class. 
And your baby brother, we’ll call him the Future.
 
Now, think about that and see if that makes sense.”
 
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad had said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his nappy. So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, “Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now!”
The father says, “That’s great son! Tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.”

The little boy replies:
“Well, while the Treasury is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep
the People are being ignored
and the Future is in deep shit.“
