![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout his life, İnalcık corrected various inaccuracies about Ottoman and Turkish history, such as that the Ottoman dynasty had not emerged from the Kayı tribe – a claim he discovered was first fabricated in the 15th century. When he first started his research in the 1940s, it was difficult to glean the real value of these documents as they were all written in the Arabic script, yet under the new 1923 Republic Turkey had moved to using a Latin alphabet. He was the first historian to study Ottoman judicial records in-depth, helping to shed light on how these impacted on Ottoman society. ![]() Halil İnalcık, who passed away in July aged 100, was a leading authority on the Ottoman Empire, frequently challenging the biased and often hostile narratives of the West, as well as the exaggerated, nationalistic and romanticised views within Turkey.Īfter receiving his PhD in Ottoman History from Ankara University in 1942, İnalcık went on to research and analyse the social and economic aspects of the Ottoman Empire. One of Turkey’s most renowned historians will be the subject of a talk at the Yunus Emre Institute this Thursday. ![]()

![]() ![]() Most early Logical Positivists asserted that all knowledge is based on logical inference from simple "sentences" grounded in observable facts. Since antiquity the idea that natural science rests importantly on experience has been non-controversial. ![]() In this connection, different schools and different philosophers have attempted to expound these methods in a bid to get to the realization of the truthfulness of reality. Viewing this, the method or nature of explanations especially in the Analytic Tradition stands out as an indispensable aspect of the truth of reality as it provides in an explicit way the approaches employed in addressing issues in philosophy which are objectively aimed at unraveling the mystery of the truth of reality in all its inquiries. ![]() The dichotomy of the class of propositions into truths and falsehoods should thus be supplemented with a more fine-tuned ordering- one which classifies propositions according to their closeness to the truth, their degree of truth-likeness or verisimilitude. However, some falsehoods seem to realize this aim better than other falsehoods while some truths realize this aim better than some truths do. Every intellectual inquiry is geared towards the truth about reality of the world so as to make the truth of such reality accessible and objective. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Readers have called her work “life changing,” “pandemic medicine,” and “part of my daily ritual.” Oprah Magazine and the Today Show have featured her work for its timely, uplifting wisdom.

But the Legion had needed more, so they’d carefully, oh so carefully, woken her up and trained her.Īnd yet she was still dead. Her body might be long gone, cremated in the morgue of a far away laboratory, but her magic remained.įor three years, she’d been nothing more than a component in a system that teleported Ring of Fire from star system to star system. ![]() She’d spent three years in a coma, only awoken by electronic commands forcing her to cast a single spell. Pleasure and pain were the push of a button for the people who commanded Sharon, and they used them freely to command her.Īnd yet…she’d done the math. Her… masters had given her access to the ship’s internal sensors as one of the first things after they’d lifted her from her semi-coma. ![]() She’d been conscious to that concept of her existence and current state for about a year. Her brain currently resided in a tank full of nutrients and wires buried deep in the Engineering department of the First Legion interstellar assault transport Ring of Fire. This was something she still wasn’t entirely comfortable with, though the evidence was hard to argue with. ![]() ![]() The pace of this is different and requires one to adjust one’s thinking in orders to accept it! I think that this is a great idea, it distinguishes the 2 narratives, the main protagonists and the new ‘worlds’ in which we find ourselves. I’d just finished reading the latest Lady Hardcastle/Florence Armstrong book and this popped up on my horizon - perfectly timed and at the same time, tying up any lose ends (or queries) that may have arrived. With the dance contest fast approaching, the trio must solve the mystery of the missing diamonds, unmask the murderer, and prevent more deadly crimes - all without missing a beat. ![]() But the stakes change dramatically when a mysterious death at the club brings a sinister note to the investigation. And the thief is planning to steal a hoard of jewels hidden there under the cover of a dance contest.Īs mutual pal Lady Hardcastle has suggested, Skins and Dunn are perfectly placed to be Sunderland’s eyes and ears - and Skins’s wife Ellie soon lends a hand with a bit of light snooping.

Milgram was instrumental to the team’s victory. In 1992, he was the design director and chief computer modeler for America3, which won the America’s Cup. His research focused heavily on ship development, the behavior of oil spills in the marine involvement and cleanup technology (for which he holds 12 patents), the behavior of sea waves, the dynamics of underwater vehicles, and other topics. Milgram also worked closely with the United States Navy and the Coast Guard. Koch Professor of Marine Technology, Milgram taught courses such as 2.20 (Marine Hydrodynamics) and 2.25 (Fluid Mechanics) in mechanical engineering in addition to 6.003 (Signals and Systems) in electrical engineering for over 50 years. In 1967, Milgram joined the faculty at MIT, where he would spend the remainder of his career. In 1965, he earned his PhD with a thesis that provided a theoretical and experimental foundation for absorbing plane water waves by means of a moving boundary at one end of a channel. Milgram received his undergraduate degree from MIT in 1961, where he also served as captain of the sailing team. His love of sailing began at the very early stages of his life. Jerome, also known as Jerry, was born in Melrose Park, Pennsylvania, on Sept.

I have also spent the month of August look back at past contributions from guest contributors. It has been engaging as I have spent a bulk of the summer intentionally reading more diverse books and expanding my range. My current YA syllabus ( see link) is political and an attempt to be a more inclusive teacher of diverse books books that more closely align with the students who are in my classroom. What we teach, who we call on, or who we allow to maintain the conversational floor are all micro, and perhaps in some cases, macro political acts. I think it is wrong when we pretend that we are neutral actors in the classroom. Universities need the tuition money in order to keep the doors open as they receive less and less of their funding from state resources and more and more from, grants, endowment, and other sources. The fact that we are holding school at a university at all is both an act of politics and an act of capitalism. For us "remotely" means live, synchronous class meetings through a Zoom format. ![]() I was getting ready to start a new semester and was going to teach my two classes remotely. Last week's post by Ashley Boyd and Janine Darragh hit at exactly the right time for me. ![]() |
