Don't forget to take breaks from studying (the sandwich somehow became a local meme at our uni)

[studywithcyril]

For some reason I had problems using the Tumblr app but now it's working

Bought a lot of coffee. Read a lot about coffee. Discussed the best way of making large amounts of coffee in a short time. Drank a lot of coffee. Guess now I don't have to worry about any coffee-related issues for a long time. Also prepared for the Historiography seminar

Medieval Suffering – the book

[studywithcyril]

This is my final year at uni and my future is uncertain as ever. I'm feeling both scared and excited. I'm bringing my study blog back to life to share this feeling with you. I haven't posted so much stuff this year so there will be some old posts from my drafts. If your new to my blog, I post original (mainly) content related to studying history

The nights are getting darker and colder. This night the sky was so clear I could see the Little Dipper when I looked out of my window!

Studied at the uni library, made some notes for Historiography and Contemporary History classes

Visited another Russian Historical Society lecture on the Russian Civil War. This one was about the Socialist government of the Northern Oblast in 1918

The ABCDE Method: Accomplish Tasks more Efficiently

I recently came across the ABCDE method that’s similar to what I do to stay productive each day: instead of lumping up all your tasks, sort them into categories and tackle each of them differently. Here’s an outline of the method. Hope it helps :)

Head Wounds & Steel Helmets

In the March, 1943 edition of the US Army’s Intelligence Bulletin, a short article discusses a British study of combat head injuries and the protection afforded by various styles of steel helmet. 

The article refers to a report written by a British medical officer serving in North Africa. The officer examined 150 cases of localised skull fractures, 90% of which occurred during fighting in the Western Desert (Egypt and Libya). The majority of the head wounds were believed to have been caused by shell and grenade fragments.

The report showed that a considerable portion of the skull was not protected by the Brodie helmet worn by British troops (and until 1941, by the US). With a large number of fractures being reported on the forehead and above the ears. The diagram above shows how the older Brodie helmet, developed during World War One failed to protect a significant proportion of the skull. 

The diagram shows the outline of the old British helmet and the new proposed helmet, the MkIII, which had been developed in the early 1940s, as a result of the earlier helmet’s inadequacies, but was only introduced in 1944. It also shows the outline of the new US M1 helmet, which appears to provide the best protection of the three.

Halloween 2018

This Halloween we all dressed up as LDPR/Zhirinovsky supporters! They have these weird badges saying "Zhirinovsky the Supreme Leader", it feels almost like Star Wars
