The turk

Above, is a picture of a weird machine :) Its name is the Turk, this is why I find it more interesting. The inventor of the machine, presented this thing as an automated chess machine but, in fact there was somebody in the machine who was controlling the moves. So, they were cheating people.

So, the inventor became very famous, with this very succesfull machine :o)
(he is from austria)

By the way, there is an amazon service which is called also Mechanical Turk.
Discover it from here. A very good business idea.

For details, read it from wikipedia...

Politiki Kouzina

Yesterday, I watched a greek movie called "Politiki Kouzina", I like it a lot.

It talks about historical relations with greeks and turks. The story tells this story from greek side. Unfortunately, many greek familly are forced to leave Istanbul (greeks call it, Constantinapolis ;) ), after the Turkish Republic founded. The same thing happened in greek side, lots of turks left Greece. The population exchange is made only by looking to the religion.

The exchange is made many times, 1924 and between 1950-1960. I think, Turkey lost a good human resource, it is a pitty. But this is politics : \

One month ago, I met with two greeks who had same situation at 1960's.

This situation is caused by political crisis happened because of Cyprus Island.

pivot table

Hey.

I would like to share something that I find very usefull.

In excel, there is a utility called Pivot table. Maybe you already know, it is very smart, you can use it a lot when reporting.

If you have data somewhere, (in another excel file, or database), it is very simple to create pivot tables.

You can also use, numbergo as an alternative program for this. The essential is that you have accurate data.

You can learn this concept from here.

For researching it from Google your keyword is:
