Leopold von Ranke lays down a series of critiques against the philosophy of history.

However‚ due largely to the complexity and demandingness of the historical discipline

Most of the times‚ the room is dark. There are days when it is bright and I can see almost everything clearly. The sunshine is reflecting through the cracks in the door‚ spreading across the room. My face breaks into a smile‚ my eyes shine and happiness fills my heart as I think I can leave the darkness. I can leave and be happy‚ be myself and no one will care. I open the door‚ just a little‚ and take a small peek. When I see the happiness shine‚ I expect to see smiling faces‚ people saying they’ll

1 A Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is a circuit that provides a varying output signal (typically of square-wave or triangular-wave form) whose frequency can be adjusted over a range controlled by a dc voltage. An example of a VCO is the 566 IC unit‚ which contains circuitry to generate both squarewave and triangular-wave signals whose frequency is set by an external resistor and capacitor and then varied by an applied dc voltage. Figure (1) shows that the 566 contains current sources to charge

Leopold II (1835-1909) The King of Belgium 1865-1909. The scramble for Africa began in the mid-1870’s with the purpose to colonize the "Dark Continent". Much of the exploration and European interests were in the southern‚ northern‚ and eastern part of the continent. It was still called the "Dark Continent" because of the large basin of rain forests surrounding the Congo River in the equatorial part of western Africa. This area was virtually unexplored because traveling up the river by boat was impossible
