I've been reading about the arrow wound, as I plan to recreate it on a resin skull. This is possibly the best description I've seen, taking Bradmore's words and illustrating them visually.
You also need to know the following. The decryption procedure for ENIGMA-messages, which was developed by Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman, consists of several steps. The "TURING-WELCHMAN-BOMB", respectively the machine, is only used in one of the several steps. At Bletchley Park, an average of around 2800 ENIGMA-messages were decrypted per day. The decryption each of these ENIGMA-messages individually would not have been possible due time constraints. The settings respectively the adjustments for the ENIGMA-machines, the so-called "Maschinen-Schlüssel" (ENIGMA key list), were changed daily by the Germans!!! These ultra-secret setting values were in code books that only the German-Wehrmacht had access to. In order to be able to decrypt ENIGMA-messages like on an assembly line, the code breakers at Bletchley Park also needed these setting values, this "Maschinen-Schlüssel" is meant. The "Maschinen-Schlüssel" consists of the wheel order, the ring settings and the plug connections on the plug board. The enormous achievement of the code breakers at Bletchley Park was to determine the values of this "Maschinen-Schlüssel" from an intercepted and decrypted ENIGMA-message. Determining the "Maschinen-Schlüssel", that changes daily, was therefor the ultimate goal that Bletchley Park had set itself from the very beginning. Once the "Maschinen-Schlüssel" had been determined, it was then completely trouble-free to decrypt ENIGMA-messages for a day, using modified British TYPEX Key machines. If you are interested in these processes in detail, you can watch them in my lecture in English "TURING-WELCHMAN-BOMB CRACKED ENIGMA" (Gustav Vogels) here on RU-vid. I prove each of my statements using my own microprocessor-controlled decryption bomb, following the same procedure as Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman did.
Este es el mejor informe que he visto de esta singular proeza médica. Este cirujano podría haber salvado a Henry II de Francia de haber vivido entonces. Espléndido informe.
A widget that started out as the balm for paranoid businesses, paranoid bankers then. I am reminded of the 1930s movies that featured gangsters and flimflam practitioners of all sorts. Hence the implied need for words communicated on the quite.
Quite the imagination of he surgeon to visualize the wound cavity and many obstacles without a detailed knowledge of deep head anatomy ahead(!) of x-rays, CT scans, dissections, teams of peer experts and tomes of books!! Another of the progressive accomplishments such as deliberately utilizing wheels, inclined planes (ramps, screws, wedges), and stored energy (bows, counterweights). Opposable thumbs allowed brains to create material objects and examine concepts of the imagination. And here we are, holding our tiny electronic brain adjunct devices in one hand as we type…. “Progress” up a jagged and steep rock face; faltering, halting, slipping, falling…yet ascending . . .
Ya'll say the surgeons were ahead of their time like people weren't already using oil, alcohol and honey and stuff to treat wounds all the way back to ancient times.
Brilliant. The honey is such a nice touch. Even in the 1400s, medieval surgeons could tell that honey never spoiled, and we know today that honey has both antimicrobial properties, and high acidity which aids in healing. Honey also has a high natural H2O2 content (peroxide), and can wick moisture away from bacteria while providing a moist, viscous, and dense medium for flesh to heal. Even more interesting, raw honey induces leukocytes to release cytokines, which is what begins the tissue repair cascades. Just Brilliant. They didn't understand bacteria, they didnt understand antibiotics, but somehow still found a way to use honey as an antibiotic and anti-septic topical nearly a full 500 years before Joseph Lister created antiseptic theory. That's simply remarkable. Although, using dilators to open the wound channel day after day must have left a sick ass scar.
That's quite insane. I worked as a theatre orderly in a NSW hospital. I witnessed some incredible surgery but all with autoclaved instruments and full anaesthetics!!! The ingenuity of this period is astounding, thanks.
Sadly, I don't get a particularly good feel from either place these days. Their popularity with personality-free international students, and a woke and money-hungry desire to accommodate them, has made them lose the genuinely charming 'Oxbridge type' character who is probably more likely to be having more fun at many other places.
You would never use alcohol. Because booze is a vasodilator and the only thing it can help you with is bleeding out. He could have used opium and most likely did. Opium has been known for millennia to relieve pain and its use for surgical analgesia has been recorded since the 11th century, when the Crusade's soldiers brought it over.
Funny that the Polish are never mentionned in the enigma documentaries as the first crackers of enigma before 1939 , until Germans increased the level of complexity of the machine.Polish discoveries were passed along to French and English from which they restart the cracking process. So a huge contribution i think
