The Egyptian civilization is thought to have been begun in about 3150 BC until 31 BC. For the ancient Greek civilization, it started in the period of Minoan (ca. 3200 BC) up to the ending of the Hellenistic era. There are various parallels and dissimilarities between both civilizations. They co-existed during a certain timeframe (from ca. 2000 to ca. 146 BC); however, they were in two different geographic areas. Both civilizations were massive traders, subsequently, they deeply influenced the regional civilizations which have developed in that region. Various scientific and technological principles were established by both civilizations through their long histories. Water management was one of these major technologies. Accordingly, they have significantly influenced the ancient world’s hydro-technologies.

  • Incoming Scholars Bond on Thompson Island
    THE NEWSLETTER OF THE PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS PROGRAM, BOSTON COLLEGE Volume XIV, Issue 1 Fall 2009 Incoming Scholars bond on Thompson Island Freshman Scholars begin their Boston College careers by taking part in an overnight ropes program run by Outward Bound on Thompson Island in Boston Harbor. After arriving on campus during the week before classes begin, and accompanied by Scholars from the upper classes, and the graduate assistant, they engage in a range of activities designed to promote a sense of camaraderie among the group, to encourage in them the habit of pushing themselves beyond the boundaries of their comfort zones, to help them realize that they are capable of achieving more than they think they are, and to emphasize that leadership can be done from within a group as well as at the head of one, all qualities that we seek to nurture in Presidential Scholars. Rachel Newmiller, a member of the Class of 2013, recalls her experience on Thompson Island. By Rachel Newmiller, A&S ‘13 The view of Boston from the top of the alpine tower made my 64 foot climb well worth all the effort. During my ascent, shouts of encouragement, words of advice, and directions from a trustworthy belayer resonated through the windy sea air from the ground below. A few days before putting on a harness I never would have imagined that I could accomplish such a feat. Yet challenges like this characterized the Outward Bound Thompson Island experience, pushing the newest class of Presidential Scholars to tackle a slew of physical obstacles together, resulting in great team and personal triumphs.

This navigation-chronometer was used by the USAF on long haul flights (see (AF) on pocketwatch back)). The watch was used by navigation-pilots from World War II until the end of the 60's. The movement and the original 24h dial has been transferred to a new wristwatch case, in such a way, that it can be reconverted to the pocketwatch. The movement inside the wristwatch can be seen trough its crystal back. The movement features 6 adjustments and additional adjustment for temperature. The movement has 22 jewels. The movement integrates the hacking function in order for the pilots to synchronize before an attack. On the next page you can find all the production lots and effective date of series manufactured.
