Etymology and History

It was previously known as Bash Norashen and under Russian rule, from 1870 through 1917, it was the administrative center of Sharur-Daralagozsky Uyezd.[1] In 1961 the village was renamed in honour of Cəlil Məmmədquluzadə, the writer and satirist who wrote his first allegorical work (Çay dəstgahı) while serving as a teacher (October 13, 1887 – January 13, 1890) at the local school. The name of the village is a toponym memorial.[2][3]

gollark: If they didn't need that (I think the only practical way to achieve this would just be to stick one larger and more efficient converter somewhere) the bulbs would be individually cheaper and probably more efficient too, as well as safer.
gollark: You know something mildly interesting and relevant? LEDs run off lowish-voltage DC. The mains, as connected to most conventional lightbulb fittings (designed for incandescent/flourescent) provides high-voltage AC. This means that every LED lightbulb needs inefficient and probably somewhat expensive power supply circuitry.
gollark: Hmm. Well.
gollark: That seems kind of inefficient.
gollark: What are the three parts then?
