Vladimir zworykin
Vladimir Zworykin was born on July 29, 1888 and died on the same date in 1982. He is most known for inventing the electronic microscope called the kinescope and for his early work on television. Zworykin worked with Boris Rosing on experiments involving x-rays while World War 1 was occurring. Today, Zworykin is known as "The Father Of Television" and his inventions such as the tube camera advanced camera technology and helped lead to the development of the modern camera.
1960 Classics
In 1960, several notable events and innovations occurred:
1. The 50-star US flag debuted after Hawaii became the 50th state. Weather satellites and the birth control pill were also approved.
2. Aretha Franklin began her recording career and Motown Records had its first hit. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries was also founded.
3. John F. Kennedy challenged students to join the newly formed Peace Corps, and the first Paralympic Games and televised presidential debates were held.
Munchkin cat
The document discusses the Munchkin cat breed, which is known for having very short legs due to a naturally occurring genetic mutation. While early concerns existed that the short legs may cause spinal problems, studies of the breed in the 1940s and 1950s found them to be just as healthy as normal cats. The short-legged trait is passed down through an autosomal dominant gene, meaning there is a 50% chance of kittens from Munchkin parents also having short legs.

Communism spreads in east asia
After the Chinese Civil War, the Communists led by Mao Zedong defeated the Nationalists and established control over mainland China, implementing policies like land redistribution that increased their popularity with peasants. However, Mao's Great Leap Forward in the late 1950s that collectivized agriculture and increased industrial output was a failure, resulting in a massive famine that caused the deaths of tens of millions. In the 1960s, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution to purge China of "bourgeois" elements and reassert Communist ideology, leading to widespread social and political turmoil.
The cold war unfolds
After WWII, the world divided into two opposing superpowers - the democratic United States and its Western allies in NATO, and the communist Soviet Union and its Eastern bloc allies in the Warsaw Pact. They engaged in a nuclear arms race throughout the Cold War and came close to nuclear conflict during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Additionally, the Soviet Union suppressed rebellions in Eastern Europe and invaded Afghanistan, while the U.S. fought shooting wars by proxy in Korea and Vietnam as the Cold War took on a global scale.
From appeasement to war
The document discusses key events leading up to World War 2, including Germany annexing Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia through appeasement policies by Britain and France. It also discusses the Spanish Civil War where Germany and Italy supported Franco's Nationalists against the Soviet-backed Loyalists, resulting in over 500,000 deaths. The non-aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union is mentioned, before the summary concludes that World War 2 officially began when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany.
Postwar social changes
The document summarizes several social changes that occurred in the 1920s, including the rise of jazz culture during the Roaring Twenties, influential modernist literature from authors like T.S. Eliot and F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Harlem Renaissance which saw a flowering of African American artistic expression, breakthroughs in science from figures like Marie Curie and Albert Einstein, and the development of new visual art styles like Cubism, Abstract art, Dada, and Surrealism.
Nationalism in africa and the middle east
Nationalism grew in Africa and the Middle East in response to European colonialism and imperialism. Africans fought against being controlled by European countries and losing their right to vote and land. Segregationist policies in South Africa, like apartheid, aimed to ensure white supremacy through laws that restricted better jobs and living areas to whites only. African nationalism movements emerged seeking unity, independence, and an end to colonial rule, including pan-Africanism, Marcus Garvey's calls for "Africa to Africans," and Egypt gaining independence from Britain in 1922.
Making the peace
The document summarizes some of the major costs and consequences of World War I. It discusses the massive human costs in deaths and injuries between 1914-1918. It also outlines the political turmoil that emerged as governments collapsed in Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. The document describes how the Allied powers met at the Paris Peace Conference to determine the fate of Europe after the war, but excluded the Central Powers and Russia, leading to disagreements between Wilson, Clemenceau and George over the treatment of Germany in the eventual Treaty of Versailles.
A new kind of war
This document discusses how World War I involved new countries and new technologies compared to previous wars. It moved from a war of movement to a stalemate on the Western Front as trenches were dug for protection from rapid fire guns and long range artillery. New weapons like poison gas, tanks, airplanes, and submarines were introduced as the first major war after the Industrial Revolution. Trench warfare led to a stalemate on the battlefield as both sides dug into zig zag trenches separated by contested "no man's land" for over four years on the Western Front.
Ch 19, 4 new ways of thinking
Laissez-faire economics advocated for minimal government intervention in the economy based on the ideas of Adam Smith. Thomas Malthus believed population growth would outpace food supply, while David Ricardo wrote about an "Iron Law of Wages." Utilitarianism held that laws should maximize happiness for the greatest number. Socialists believed the means of production should be owned collectively rather than privately. Karl Marx viewed socialism as inevitable and realistic in contrast to utopian socialists, laying out his theories in The Communist Manifesto. Marxism later inspired revolutions around the world before declining as people felt stronger national ties than ideological ties to communism.
Social impact of the industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution led to overcrowded and unsanitary conditions in urban areas as people migrated to cities to work in factories and mines. New social classes emerged, including industrial workers who faced long hours, dangerous machinery, pollution, and poor living conditions in overcrowded tenements. While unions were initially banned, worker protests grew, including the Luddites who destroyed machinery. Child labor was also common, with many starting work as young as age 5 to support their families. Some reforms followed, but conditions remained difficult for industrial workers.
Frechrevevents
The National Assembly formed as the Third Estate broke away from the Estates General, and took the Tennis Court Oath to create a constitution. The storming of the Bastille sparked revolts across France. The National Assembly abolished feudalism and adopted the Declaration of Rights of Man, though it ignored calls to include women's rights. Food shortages led to the March on Versailles and the royal family's move to Paris.
Frenchrevolutionpics
France was facing a financial crisis in the late 1700s due to excessive spending, debt, and a poor harvest. Taxes had risen sharply but were largely paid only by peasants while the nobility and clergy were exempt. King Louis XVI called the Estates General to address the crisis. The Estates General divided France into three groups: the clergy, nobility, and commoners. Tensions were rising between the privileged first two estates and the burdened third estate of commoners.
Ch18sec2
The document summarizes the radical phase of the French Revolution from 1792-1794. It describes the rise of radical groups like the Paris Commune and the Jacobins, the execution of King Louis XVI after a split over his fate, and the establishment of the Committee of Public Safety led by Robespierre. This period saw the Reign of Terror where tens of thousands perceived as enemies of the revolution were executed. Robespierre's growing paranoia led to his own downfall and execution in 1794, ending the Reign of Terror.
Ch17sec2
The Enlightenment was a philosophical movement that applied scientific reasoning to human society. Key thinkers like Isaac Newton, John Locke, and philosophers called "Philosophes" used reason to critique religious and political institutions and argue for ideas like separation of powers, religious tolerance, and equality. Their works spread new ideas through growing publications and salons, though most Europeans still identified as Christian. The Enlightenment had wide-ranging effects on science, politics, economics, and society.
Ch17sec3
The document summarizes the impact of the Enlightenment on architecture, art, music, literature, philosophy, and politics in the 18th century. Architectural styles became more ornate with fancy decorations, light, and bright colors. In art, Rococo style emphasized grace, charm, and pleasure. The greatest period of European music included Baroque and Classical styles from composers like Bach, Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. Novels grew more popular among the middle class, exemplified by Henry Fielding. Enlightened monarchs like Frederick the Great and Joseph II tried to incorporate Enlightenment principles while maintaining power, with varying degrees of success or failure. International conflicts included the War of Austrian Succession and Seven
The age of absolutism
Philip II of Spain assembled a huge naval force called the Spanish Armada to invade England in 1588, in response to English attacks on Spanish ships and cities, but the Spanish Armada was defeated by the English navy, marking the beginning of the decline of the Spanish empire. Religious wars erupted between Catholics and Protestants in France, culminating in the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, until Henry IV converted to Catholicism while still granting religious toleration. Louis XIII strengthened the French monarchy by appointing the powerful Cardinal Richelieu as his advisor and designating the young Louis XIV as the next king.
Struggle for north america
France claimed territory in North America called New France, which included the Great Lakes region, Mississippi River Valley, and Louisiana. New France was profitable for fur trapping, trading, and fishing. Only Catholics were allowed to settle there under King Louis XIV. England established its first permanent colony at Jamestown in 1607 focused on tobacco, while the Pilgrims founded Plymouth in 1620 seeking religious freedom. The colonies practiced self-government, with each having its own representative assembly to make local decisions.
The search for spices
The document summarizes the key motivations and events that led to the Age of Exploration. It discusses how the search for spices drove Portuguese exploration down the coast of Africa. It then outlines some of the major voyages including Diaz rounding the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, Vasco da Gama reaching India, and Columbus sailing west hoping to find a route to Asia but landing in the Caribbean instead. Finally, it briefly discusses the rise of the slave trade and growing European colonial presence in Africa.
The renaissance in the north
The printing press, invented by Johann Gutenberg, mass produced books and made them more affordable. This helped spread ideas and contributed to the Northern Renaissance. Flanders was a center of this intellectual movement, where artists like Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel, and Peter Paul Rubens flourished. Albrecht Dürer was a renowned German painter and engraver who portrayed religious themes. Humanists like Erasmus and Thomas More promoted educational and religious reform through their writings.
Reformation ideas spread
The document discusses the English Reformation and the rise of Protestant sects. It describes how King Henry VIII established the Church of England after breaking from Catholicism to divorce his wife. It also discusses his six marriages and the reigns of his children Edward VI and Mary Tudor, with Mary trying to return England to Catholicism. The document concludes that Elizabeth brought a religious compromise and unity to England with the Elizabethan Settlement that made it a Protestant nation with Catholic traditions.
The renaissance in italy
The document summarizes key aspects of the Renaissance period in Italy, including its focus on humanism, secular education, and revival of ancient Greek and Roman styles of art, architecture, and literature. Major Italian city-states like Florence were centers of culture and trade, ruled by powerful families who patronized the arts. Famous Renaissance artists mentioned include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Botticelli.

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:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
