ambahan, ini beberapa tambahan yang cukup penting dalam navigasi dan beberapa pengembangan yang saya lakukan dalam mempelaja...

walaupun saya belum pernah tersesat, tapi saya yakin, pengembangan yang saya lakukan dapat sangat bermanfaat.

kamu melakukan rections dan atau intersections, tapi hanya ada satu bangunan pada peta, kamu bisa tetap melakukan nya dengan mengambil titik potong antara garis yang melalui bangunan tersebut dengan ketinggian dimana kamu berada pada saat itu (mencari ketinggian dan mencari sebuah titik sudah dibahas pada catatan sebelumnya).

kalau kamu melakukan receptions dan atau interceptions dan tidak ada petunjuk satu pun dalam peta, tidak ada bangunan satupun dan peta kontur yang kamu miliki hanya terdiri dari garis saja tanpa ada titik triangulasinya.
ini menggunakan metode trigonometri dan atau menggunakan metode penskalaan. (secara prinsip). cukup sulit untuk menjelaskannya, tapi kalau kamu tertarik bisa menghubungi saya langsung.

kalau kamu tidak membawa apa apa, tersesat dihutan, bahkan alat tulis pun tak ada.
1. tenang
2. jangan buru _ buru pergi dari tempat itu, pelajari alam sekitar merupakan hal yang bijak.
3. buat peta kontur sendiri, rekam semuanya didalam otak kamu. (baca dulu catatan _ catatan sebelumnya).
4. tinggalkan jejak, tinggalkan tanda kalau kamu mau pergi, tinggalkan tanda kalau kamu mau belok.
5. kalau kamu tersesat cukup lama dan akhirnya kamu hanya berputar_putar. lebih baik kamu mencari/membuat tempat istirahat yang hangat dan aman. menyiapkan makan untuk beberapa jam kedepan. mencari air atau menampung air. mengeringkan kayu. membuat api untuk nanti malam. kalau sudah 2 / 3hari kamu tersesat dan hasilnya masih terus berputar_putar ada baiknya kamu membuat apa yang saya tulis diatas sebagai persediaan seminggu kedepan. kalau dalam satu minggu hasilnya nihil juga, pertolongan tak ada bahkan kamu masih terus saja berputar_putar. sebaiknya kamu mulai berfikir untuk tinggal disitu.
karena navigasi merupakan bagian dari survival (bertahan hidup).
jangan mengeluh, tetap bekerja keras, jangan putus asa, hargai kehidupan mu sendiri.

semoga bermanpaat.

navigasi bagian kelima, mengetahui posisi suatu titik di peta dan titik tersebut merupakan titik yang kamu tuju (intersections).

mengetahui suatu titik di peta dan titik tersebut merupakan titik yang kamu tuju. (intersections). caranya hampir sama dengan (resections).

kalau kamu dekat 2 buah bangunan dan kamu ingin mendapatkan suatu titik dimana itu sebuah puncak gunung, tapi kamu ga tau posisi puncak tersebut pada peta.
1.buka peta. simpan ditempat yang datar. sesuaikan arah utaranya dengan arah utara magnetis.
2. 2 buah bangunan yang berada di dekat kamu. misal : makam dikanan kamu dan tower dikiri kamu. makam kita namakan titik A, tower kita namakan titik B, tempat yang akan kita tuju titik C.
4.kamu ke titik A, bidik ke titik C, ambil sudutnya dan bentuk garis yang memotong titik A dan C.
5.kamu pergi ke kiri, ke titik B, bidik ke titik C, ambil sudutnya dan bentuk garis yang memotong titik B dan C.
6. perpotongan antara garis AC dengan BC itu titik yang kamu tuju.

navigasi bagian kelima, mencari titik dimana kamu berada pada peta (receptions)

sesuai dengan judul diatas, misal kamu ga tau kamu berada pada peta, tapi GPS (global positioning system) bilang kamu berada pada, misal: 9derajat 72menit 55deti pada garis lintang dan 12derajat 52menit 36detik pada garis bujur.
jawaban:
1.lihat peta
2.dengan menggunakan kompas orientasi, sesuaikan arah utara pada peta dengan arah utara pada kompas.
3.cari garis lintang yang sesuai dengan soal diatas dan cari garis bujur yang sesuai dengan soal diatas.
4.perpotongan antara garis lintang dan garis bujur tersebut merupakan titik kamu dipeta dan titik kamu berada sekarang.
mudah kan??

memang mudah karna kamu menggunakan GPS!!
lain hal kalau kamu tidak menggunakan GPS, kamu ga tau berapa derajat kamu berada dan kamu ga tau dimana kamu berada pada peta... kamu tersesat dan kamu hanya bermodalkan kompas, penggaris, peta, pensil... kamu sendiri dimalam yang dingin... ga ada bulan... ga ada petunjuk navigasi dengan menggunakan alam.. minta tolong pun sama siapa, karena kamu ada dihutan yang gelap dan rapat...
apa kamu ingin menyerah pada keadaan dimana kamu tidak mempunyai pilihan lain, selain berdiam diri sampai menunggu pertolongan, yang tidak akan pernah datang atau kamu mau mencari jalan keluar, dengan bermodalkan alat navigasi seadanya yang kamu miliki?

pilihan kedua lebih baik untuk kamu, karena kamu lebih menghargai kehidupan.

Cerita ini akan saya bahas dicatatan selanjutnya... dengan materi receptions dan interceptions...

navigasi bagian lima, titik triangulasi untuk mengetahui seberapa tinggikah kamu berada berdasarkan garis nol dipermukaan laut.

titik triangulasi dibuat untuk mengetahui seberapa tinggi suatu titik di peta berdasarkan garis nol dipermukaan laut. misal:puncak tangkuban perahu berada pada ketinggian 2500mdpl(meter diatas permukaan laut), artinya kamu akan berada pada 2500mdpl jika berdiri dipuncak tersebut.

permasalahannya adalah jika kamu berdiri bukan tepat pada 2500mdpl tapi berada diantara 2400mdpl dan 2500mdpl.
jawaban:
1.lihat peta kontur
2.lihat dititik mana kamu berada, misal kamu berada pada 1/4 jarak mendekati garis 2400mdpl dan 3/4 jarak mendekati garis 2500mdpl.
3.karena yang dipakai peta dengan intervar 100 meter, 1/4 dari 100meter berarti 25meter, artinya kamu berada pada 2425meter diatas permukaan laut.

masalah tidak berhenti sampai disitu, misal kamu memang tau kamu berada pada titik diantara 2400mdpl dan 2500 mdpl, tapi kamu ga tau tepatnya kamu bedara dimana, 1/4 nya? 1/5? 1/2? itu kamu ga tau...
jawabannya:
1.titik yang kamu buat dipeta berdasarkan kamu berdiri, kamu namakan titik C.
2.buat garis tegak lurus yang memotong garis 2400mdpl, memotong titik C dan memotong garis 2500mdpl. garis tersebut kamu namakan garis D.
3.titik perpotongan antara garis D dan garis 2400mdpl kamu namakan titik A.
4.titik perpotongan antara garis D dan garis 2500mdpl kamu namakan titik B.
5.menggunakan penggaris cari jarak dari A ke B, misal 5cm.
6. cari jarak dari C ke A, misal 1cm.
logika berfikir:
7.jarak dari A ke B, 5cm dengan interval (beda tinggi) 100meter. berapa beda tinggi jarak dari C ke A, jika jaraknya 1cm??kan gitu?
8.100meter dibagi 5cm sama dengan 20meter tiap 1cm. karena jarak dari C ke A, 1cm jadi beda tingginya 20meter.
9. 2400mdpl ditambah 20meter, jadi kamu berada pada titik 2420mdpl.

navigasi bagian ke lima, pembahasan tentang; mendalam atau mempelajari sifat_sifat dari peta kontur

peta kontur adalah peta yang menggambarkan bentuk permukaan tanah serta tinggi permukaan tanah tersebut, dihitung dari garis nol yang berada pada permukaan laut.
peta kontur terdiri dari garis_garis.
kenapa nol nya permukaan laut?karena permukaan laut dinilai sama disemua tempat di bumi, sesuai dengan sifat_sifat air.
sifat peta kontur:
1.setiap garis dari peta kontur mempunyai ketinggian yang berbeda dengan garis lainnya.
2.berapa perbedaan antar garisnya? tergantung dari interval atau jarang yang dipakai dalam peta kontur tersebut, ada yang interval 10meter, ada yang 100 meter, ada yang 1meter.
3.peta kontur menggambarkan bentuk permukaan tanah. misal: dalam satu garis di peta kontur akan berbentuk bulat jika permukaan tanahnya bulat. akan berbentuk garis lurus jika itu tebing. akan berbentuk V dengan menjorok kelaut jika itu teluk. akan berbentuk V terbalik dengan menjorok ke kelaut jika itu semenanjung. dan lain lain.
4.peta kontur sama seperti peta lainnya, mempunyai garis lintang dan garis bujur. lintang utara, lintang selatan, bujur barat, bujur timur.
5.garis lintang dan garis bujur digunakan untuk menunjukkan suatu titik pada peta untuk menjadi orientasi pada sumbu X dan Y pada sistem koordinat.(horisontal)
5.sedangkan konturnya tersubut, untuk menjadi orientasi sumbu Z secara vertikal.
6.satuan lintang dan bujur yaitu derajat menit detik, sedangkan satuan kontur yaitu meter.
7.peta kontur mempunyai titik triangulasi (berupa angka), yaitu titik yang menggambarkan ketinggian suatu tanah terhadap permukaan laut.
8. titik triangulasi akan dibahas dalam catatan selanjutnya.

navigasi ke empat, navigasi dengan menggunakan peralatan buatan

tinggal 2 bagian lagi untuk mempelajari dasar dasar navigasi. bagian kedua terakhir peralatan yang didakai pada navigasi buatan beserta pengertian dan fungsinya. terakhir yaitu sudut resections dan intersections beserta triangulasi, ada tambahan yaitu pelajaran dasar membuat peta kontur dan tambahan _ tambahan lain yang saya pikir itu perlu.

materi terakhir membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama dalam membuatnya, sedangkan yang kedua terakhir akan saya bahas dalam catatan ini.

alat_alat yang dipakai dalam navigasi buatan:
kompas bidik:suatu kompas yang dipakai untuk mengetahui, berapa derajatkah, benda yang sedang kita bidik, terhadap arah utara magnetis.
kompas orientasi:untuk mengetahui, berapa derajatkah, sudut/titik/gambar di peta terhadap arah utara magnetis dan arah utara peta atau arah utara sebenarnya.
perlu diketahui bahwa antar arah utara magnetis dengan arah utara peta atau arah utara sebenarnya itu berbeda, arah utara megnetis saat ini berada di daerah kepulauan seribia (kalau ga salah) dan nanti akan berubah, sesuai dengan kandungan biji besi yang terdapat pada perut bumi, artinya ada beberapa derajat antara arah utara sebenarnya dengan arah utara megnetis, tapi itu kecil dan bisa diabaikan.
peta kontur:peta yang menggambaran beda tinggi permukaan tanah.
pensil.
penggaris.
penghapus.
udah.
dadah.
waktunya untuk tidur.
nanti materi yang terakhir dan terpenting dibahas belakangan, kalo moodnya keluar.

navigasi bag 3, masih dalam satu konteks dimana navigasi merupakan sebuah cara untuk menemukan sebuah orientasi

saya mulai dengan sebuah pertanyaan,
bagaimana kalau kamu tersesat dihutan sendirian?
malam hari yang sunyi, ada makam para wali dipinggir tempat kamu berdiri, digunung, ditengah padang rumput yang sangat rapat dan malam itu cuaca medung.

makam dapat membantu kamu, karena itu dapat menjadi sebuah alat navigasi.
makam islam akan menghadap kesebelah selatan dengan muka di utara, jika kamu berhadapan dengan nisannya, sebelah kanan kamu timur, kiri kamu barat.
rumput sangat mudah tertiup angin, jadi kamu bisa munggunakan rumput yang bergoyang atau batang pohon yang miring sebagai orientasi, angin pada malam hari bergerak dari darat kelaut, pada siang hari dari laut ke darat. dari daratan ke gunung pada siang hari, dari gunung kedaratan pada malam hari. dari timur ke barat pada pagi hari, dari barat ke timur pada siang hari. tapi saya tidak merekomendasikan dengan menggunakan cara angin.

kalau langit cerah pada malam hari, kamu bisa menggunakan bulan sabit, bulan bercahaya karena pantulan sinar matahari, arah dimana bulan sabit itu mengarah, artinya itu arah datang atau pergi nya matahari, artinya itu arah barat atau timur, artinya arah timur untuk tanggal muda dan arah barat untuk tanggal tua (penanggalan islam).

menggunakan matahari dengan bantuan tongkat,tongkat yang di tegakkan akan membentuk bayangan,kita warga indonesia beruntung berada dalam garis katulistiwa,artinya bayangan yang jatuh dari tongkat akan menunjukkan lawan arah dari matahari,artinya barat dari pagi sampai siang,timur dari siang sampai sore.

begitu pula lumut,setau saya,lumut tinggal didaerah lembam dengan tidak terkena langsung cahaya matahari.

aliran sungai atau mata air yang mengarah ke pedesaan atau perkotaan.

jejak binatang yang mengarah dari sarang ke sumber air.

lembah yang dalam akan mengarah ke pedesaan atau perkotaan.

mesjid kecil ditengah hutan yang mengarah kebarat.

titik triangulasi, berada di puncak gunung.

dan masih banyak lagi yang bisa dijadikan acuan untuk mencari orientasi.

navigasi bagian 2, mempelajari navigasi sebagai alat bantu menemukan sebuah orientasi atau patokan

halo,,, kamu ketemu lagi sama saya, wilandika.
sebelum kamu baca tulisan ini alanhkah baiknya kamu baca dulu navigasi bagian satunya, karena tulisan_tulisannya saya buat secara sistematis, agar mudah dipahami.

pengertian navigasi, nah ini dia saya lupa pengertiannya, ada hubungan nya ama kapal,,, serius loh,,, saya ga bohong ... kalau kamu bertanya kenapa kapal,,, karena jaman dulu navigasi sebuah ilmu yang sempit dimana kendaraan yang dulu dipake yaitu kapal...

mending mengarang bebas aja yaaa,,, navigasi adalah sebuah cara yang dilakukan oleh navigator untuk mencari dan menemukan sebuah orientasi atau patokan...(wilandika,dalam cacatannya "navigasi 2":2010)

orang yang melakukan navigasi disebut navigator.

peralatan untuk navigasi saya bagi menjadi 2, navigasi alam dan navigasi buatan.
buatan:kompas bidik,kompas orientasi,peta kontur,penggaris,pensil, bahkan alat disekitar anda pun bisa menjadi alat navigasi.
alam:lumut, pohon, jejak, mata angin, rasi bintang, matahari, bulan, dll.

tempat bernavigasi saya bagi menjadi 3, navigasi darat, laut dan udara.

pembagian diatas serupa tapi tak sama, jadi ada beberapa bagian yang sama ada beberapa yang berbeda.

navigasi membutuhkan ketelitian, pengalaman, perasaan, kejadian yang berulang, dan tentunya pengetahuan.

segini gilu, ini baru pendahuluan,,selanjutnya dibahas di navigasi 3

tes tes tes, belajar nulis, dasar dasar navigasi 1 = > mencari jalan untuk pulang . hehehe

karena obrolan sederhana dengan gilang senjakala, tentang minimnya sumber dalam mempelajari navigasi, atau kalau pun ada hal itu kurang mendalam, atau kalau pun ada itu susah dipahami. saya mencoba menulis dan mempublishnya. semoga bermanfaat.

wilandika:apa yang kamu lakukan kalo kamu ter sesat?
saya pikir, mencoba untuk berusaha tetap tenang (merupakan hal cukup bijaksana) itu yang pertama, kedua ngingat-ngingat kembali jalan yang barusan dilalui dan atau mencari patokan sebagai suatu orientasi dimana kamu bisa menemukan jalan mana yang akan kamu tuju, terakhir kamu bertanya sama orang yang lewat atau sama orang yang lagi nongkrong.

misal:
Budi Sedang Tersesat:"aduh saya tersesat nihhh,,,"

BST dia berkata pada diri sendiri:"tenang bud,,,ntar juga bakal balik ko,,,"

BST:"okei,,,aku harus tenang"

BTS:"satau saya, saya sedang tersesat disebuah pertigaan di daerah geger kalong"
"pertigaan itu menghadap ke barat, ke utara, ke selatan"
"dan setau saya pertigaan yang menghadap ke utara, itu ke arah lembang,"
"dan setau saya juga, rumah saya berada pada satu arah dengan arah lembang,yaitu ke utara"
"untuk lebih meyakinkan analisis saya, lebih baik saya bertanya"
akhirnya budi pun bertanya dan ternyata benar, arah rumah budi sejajar dengan arah utara atau munuju arah lembang, dan akhirnya budi pun mengambil jalan itu.

tulisan di atas menggambarkan bagaimana pola pikir manusia, terhadap apa yang terjadi dengan dirinya dan berusaha memecahkan masalahnya, dengan mencari jalan keluar.

itu terjadi di daerah perkotaan atau pedesaan, karena sangat mudah mencari patokan dan bisa langsung bertanya pada orang disekitarnya.
lain halnya jikalau kamu tersesat diluasnya samudra, dalamnya lautan, tingginya langit, rapatnya tebing, lebatnya hutan, dipuncak gunung, ditengah-tengah gurun pasir dan di dinginnya kutub alaska sana...hehehehee
nah itu yang akan saya ulas dalam catatan navigasi yang kedua.

Swimming to Grow Taller

Swimming is an excellent exercise to acquire a tall and slender body. It enhances growth, stretches the body and helps one to become stronger and more toughened.

Death of US Presidents

Lincoln & Kennedy

The Coincidences

President Abraham Lincoln and President John F. Kennedy died in tragic circumstances. Curiously, both the Presidents were elected exactly one
hundred years apart (1860 and 1960).

Further how does one explain that :

Both the Presidents were assassinated on a Friday, in the presence of their
wives.

Each wife had lost a son while living at the White House.

Lincoln was killed in Ford's Theater. Kennedy was killed in a Lincoln
convertible manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.

The first name of Lincoln's private secretary was John, the first name of
Kennedy's private secretary was Lincoln.

John Wilkes Booth (Lincoln's assassin) was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939, one hundred years later.

Both the assassins were Southerners who held extremist views. Both the
assassins were murdered before they could be brought to trial.

Both the Presidents were deeply involved in civil rights for Black people.

Booth shot Lincoln in a theatre and fled to a barn. Lee Harvey Oswald shot
Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theatre.

Both President's were killed by a bullet that entered the head from behind.

Both the Presidents were succeeded by vice-presidents named Johnson who
were Southern Democrats and former Senators.

Andrew Johnson was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908, exactly
a hundred years later.

LINCOLN and KENNEDY, each has seven letters. The names of both the
assassins are of 15 letters each.

Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson, the Presidents who succeeded the
assassinated Presidents have 13 letters each in their names.

The assassinated presidents were Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley
and Kennedy

Those who died of diseases in office were F.D. Roosevelt, W.H. Harrison,
Taylor, and Harding.

Disabled by "disease" includes Eisenhower, Wilson, Reagan, and perhaps
L.B. Johnson and the unsuccessful assassination attempts, which resulted in
serious injury in the case of Reagan. (Reagan escaped death by only 1/4 inch
from a gunshot to the heart)

William Henry Harrison - Ninth President - 1841

The "curse" actually started with William Henry Harrison in 1840.

The Whigs, in 1840 presented their candidate William Henry Harrison as a simple frontier Indian fighter, living in a log cabin and drinking cider, in sharp contrast to an aristocratic champagne-sipping Van Buren.

Harrison was actually of the Virginia planter aristocracy. He was born at Berkeley in 1773. He studied classics and history at Hampden-Sydney College, then began the study of medicine in Richmond.

Suddenly, in 1791, Harrison switched interests. He obtained a commission as ensign in the First Infantry of the Regular Army, and headed to the Northwest, where he spent much of his life. In the campaign against the Indians, Harrison served as aide-de-camp to General "Mad Anthony" Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, which opened most of the Ohio area to settlement. After resigning from the Army in 1798, he became Secretary of the Northwest Territory, was its first delegate to Congress, and helped obtain legislation dividing the Territory into the Northwest and Indiana Territories. In 1801 he became Governor of the Indiana Territory, serving 12 years.

His prime task as governor was to obtain title to Indian lands so settlers could press forward into the wilderness. When the Indians retaliated, Harrison was responsible for defending the settlements.

The threat against settlers became serious in 1809. An eloquent and energetic chieftain, Tecumseh, with his religious brother, the Prophet, began to strengthen an Indian confederation to prevent further encroachment. In 1811 Harrison received permission to attack the confederacy.

While Tecumseh was away seeking more allies, Harrison led about a thousand men toward the Prophet's town. Suddenly, before dawn on November 7, the Indians attacked his camp on Tippecanoe River. After heavy fighting, Harrison repulsed them, but suffered 190 dead and wounded.

The Battle of Tippecanoe, upon which Harrison's fame was to rest, disrupted Tecumseh's confederacy but failed to diminish Indian raids. By the spring of 1812, they were again terrorizing the frontier.

In the War of 1812 Harrison won more military laurels when he was given the command of the Army in the Northwest with the rank of brigadier general. At the Battle of the Thames, north of Lake Erie, on October 5, 1813, he defeated the combined British and Indian forces, and killed Tecumseh. The Indians scattered, never again to offer serious resistance in what was then called the Northwest.

Thereafter Harrison returned to civilian life; the Whigs, in need of a national hero, nominated him for President in 1840. He won by a majority of less than 150,000, but swept the Electoral College, 234 to 60.

When he arrived in Washington in February 1841, Harrison let Daniel Webster edit his Inaugural Address, ornate with classical allusions. Webster obtained some deletions, boasting in a jolly fashion that he had killed "seventeen Roman proconsuls as dead as smelts, every one of them."

But before he had been in office a month, he caught a cold that developed into pneumonia. On April 4, 1841, he died--the first President to die in office--and with him died the Whig program.

Harrison was referred to as the hero of "Tippecanoe" hence the campaign slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!" John Tyler was the governor of Virginia who became president upen Harrison's death. He sided with the Confederacy in the Civil War and his name was removed from the list of presidents in the White House.

A legend states that Harrison was cursed by an Indian Shaman for a massacre of Native Americans at the battle for which he became famous!

Harrison was a famous 'Indian Fighter' in the time period 1800-1815 - the battle of Tippecanoe took place in 1811, but the "curse" was the result of Harrison personally executing the great Indian chief Tecumseh in 1813!

A few years later, Harrison resigned from the Army and entered politics. He ran against Martin Van Buren in 1836 and lost; he ran again and won in 1840 but contracted pneumonia only a few months after the inauguration and died on April 4, 1841. Notice that the date April 4, 1841 is exactly 140 years to the week that President Ronald Reagan was shot! To put it another way- Harrison contracted his fatal disease and was probably bedridden on March 30 1841 although he actually died a week later.

President Abraham Lincoln: Elected in 1860. On April 14, 1865 John Wilkes Booth came up behind Mr. Lincoln and shot him in the back of the head near point blank range. He died the next morning. (actually, probably killed by doctors probing for bullet, but he would have been a "vegetable" at best had he lived)

President James Abram Garfield. Elected in 1880. On July 21, 1881 Garfield was boarding a train in Washington DC when he was shot by Charles Giteau. The President died on September 19,1881. assassinated (Actually, Garfield was definitely killed by his doctors probing for bullet; he would have completely recovered otherwise -- the doctors who thought the bullet went where in fact it did were overruled by their elders who thought otherwise, and who stuck unclean metal probes into the President's wounds in vain attempts to locate the bullet, introducing infection and making brand new holes and paths that just confused them all the more. The metal detector they tried would have worked to find the bullet, but they didn't think to move him off the metal bedsprings, so instead they kept poking, believing that Alexander Graham Bell's invention was useless.)

President McKinley - Elected First term - 1896 - Elected Second term - 1900 - Shortly after 4 o'clock on September 6, 1901when one of the throng which surrounded the Presidential party, a medium-sized man, of ordinary appearance, and plainly dressed in black, approached as if to greet the President. Both Secretary Cortelyou and Mr. Milburn noticed that the man's hand was swathed in a bandage, or handkerchief; reports of bystanders differ as to which hand. He worked his way amid the stream of people up to the edge of the dais until he was within two feet of the Chief Executive. The President smiled, bowed and extended his hand in that spirit of geniality which the American people so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang out loud. McKinley may have been saved if doctors knew where the bullet was lodged. Since he was shot at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY there was an interesting new invention on display only a few yards from where McKinley lay -- the X-Ray machine! If they had carried him those few yards to this exhibit, doctors could have determined the exact location of the bullet, and would have probably been able to save his life. But as fate would have it, they did not consider the possibility and he died some days later from his wounds.

Elected in 1920. Warren Harding became the 29th President. Two years into office, he died of a heart attack. Although history has not been kind to Warren G. Harding, with personal and political scandals dominating Harding historiography until the 1960s, historians have reexamined and reappraised his presidency in the past twenty years.
