Excerpt: 

Story of Artificial Head Technology
The possibility of recording sound signals exactly as they are perceived by the human ear: an idea which has been around for over 100 years.
1886
However, initial experiments exhibited at the World Fair in Paris in 1886 and the later systems of De Boer and Vermeulen (1939) fail to achieve the expectations of their inventors.
1969
Similar disappointment results with the head created in 1969 by Kürer, Plenge and Wilkins, and manufactured from 1973. True-to-the-original reproduction of signals recorded using this system is not possible. Loudspeaker compatibility and spatial impression at playback via headphones prove impossible to achieve. Because of inherent noise, recordings around the hearing threshold cannot be realized.

Excerpt: 

The subject of ancient reckoning of time and space can only be inferred from the logic of numbers, with very few exceptions of data in the historical record. Many historically significant numbers exist in the historical record of different ancient cultures. But, the method for computing those numerical results remains a theme of speculation. Many of the ancient Babylonian clay tablets that exist reflect specific mathematical and geometrical problems, much like a school textbook of today. However, notebooks of the scientists who computed the astronomical meandering of the bodies in our solar system have yet to be found.

Excerpt: 

They called Grandison Harris the ``Resurrection Man.''

But few if any history books record much about Harris, the man who more than a century ago helped provide the Medical College of Georgia with fresh cadavers.

Playfully given the nickname Resurrection Man by doctors, Harris was a 36-year-old Gullah slave purchased for $700 off an auction block in Charleston, S.C., by the Medical College in 1852.

His mission was morbid but simple: Rob graves at Augusta's black Cedar Grove Cemetery and bring bodies back to the school.
