History
Trivia
The name of the village Beğendik means "We liked it". According to tradition the village was in ruins. A high ranking man had visited the village and ordered to reconstruct it. Later during his second visit, the villagers asked his impression about the renewed village and the man said Beğendik ("We liked it").[2]

gollark: > In the early 1990s, O'Sullivan led a team at the CSIRO which patented, in 1996, the use of a related technique for reducing multipath interference of radio signals transmitted for computer networking. This technology is a part of all recent WiFi implementationsAh, so they contributed somewhat to WiFi.
gollark: CSIRO, that is.
gollark: It says that they came up with some sort of Fourier-transform-based thing used in the signalling?
