Robert H. Rines was an American explorer born in 1922 who focused on space and technology exploration. He studied at Georgetown University and MIT. Rines developed new sonar and high-resolution radar technologies for the US Army, building upon earlier explorers' work with radar. His discoveries helped the military protect the US and its citizens.
The 3 Ways We Study The Past
The document outlines 3 ways that historians study the past: 1) Primary sources such as the Magna Carta which were created during the time period being examined, 2) Secondary sources like textbooks which analyze the past and were created after the fact, and 3) Archaeology and anthropology which use artifacts and remains left behind to understand how people lived in the past such as what a grave site can reveal about clothing and worship.
US History Ch 5.5
The document summarizes the Scientific Revolution and spread of new ideas in Europe in the 1600s. Scientists like Galileo and Isaac Newton used the scientific method of careful observation and experimentation to develop theories about how the universe worked, such as Galileo's discovery that the Earth revolves around the Sun. These new scientific ideas began to influence all areas of study and spread to the colonies. The Enlightenment period further encouraged the use of reason and logic. In the colonies, education was limited but institutions like Harvard were established. Individuals like Benjamin Franklin and colonial scientists and writers helped advance new ideas and apply science to practical problems in the colonies.

DUJ 2017 : Rediscovery of Indian history - Gopu R
In DUJ-2017, we will visit Dhauli in Bhubaneswar to see one of Asoka's famous Rock Edicts. While the emperor Asoka is taken for granted by every school student today, as recently as two hundred years ago, he was not a widely known figure despite his rock and pillar edicts being scattered across the country. It was only in 1837 when the Brahmi script was deciphered did he emerge as the hero he is now. The deciphering of Brahmi, the major script of much of India from the late centuries BCE up until the sixth century CE, was the key that unlocked the mysteries of ancient Indian history. What led to this major discovery? Who were the characters involved in this? And how did they achieve this breakthrough?

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

- 3. Another name for clue historians use is “Sources”. There are two kinds of sources which give historians clues about the past. Primary sources Secondary sources
- 4. 1.4c: The railway station at the town of Sanzal near Chaman on Pak/Afghan border. This photograph was first published in 1895. 1.4e: President Kennedy of the United States presenting an award to first American in space, Alan B Sheppard, in 1961.
- 5. This can be a great help. Even if it doesn’t give much information. It’ll probably give a clue to the part of the world where it was taken.
- 6. 3 types: Artifacts (things) Pictorial (pictures) Written Example of Artifacts: Statues Pottery Buildings Roman coins (2000 years ago)
- 7. Paintings or drawings pictures of people (portraits) cave paintings, relief carvings and photographs.
- 8. they are very useful to historians because they can provide a great deal of information about lives of people. They might be official records such as orders given by a ruler or history of country, or less important things like prison records or newspaper. Source 1.7 This medieval manuscript is written in Latin, the language of Ancient Romans.
- 9. An archaeologist is a historian who looks for sources at sites such as ancient graves, towns and cities which have been buried for many centuries.

- 11. Used for human remains, woods and other things that were once alive. Living things absorb carbon when they were alive including carbon 14 which is radio active. When it dies, it stops absorbing carbon 14, which starts to break down. Scientists can measure how much carbon 14 is left in something and this can tell them how long ago it died.
- 12. Tree ring dating. Historians study the pattern of ring in the tree trunk to try to find out when it died.
- 13. Is used for dating pottery which has been fired in a kiln.
