  • The Tragedy of Hamlet

The "Travelling" of the Players. 229 Appendix II.— Some Passages from the Quarto of 1603 231 Appendix III. Addenda 235 INTRODUCTION This edition of Hamlet aims in the first place at giving a trustworthy text. Secondly, it attempts to exhibit the variations from that text which are found in the primary sources—the Quarto of 1604 and the Folio of 1623 — in so far as those variations are of importance towards the ascertainment of the text. Every variation is not recorded, but I have chosen to err on the side of excess rather than on that of defect. Readings from the Quarto of 1603 are occa- sionally given, and also from the later Quartos and Folios, but to record such readings is not a part of the design of this edition. 1 The letter Q means Quarto 604 ; F means Folio 1623. The dates of the later Quartos are as follows: —Q 3, 1605 161 1 undated 6, For ; Q 4, ; Q 5, ; Q 1637. my few references to these later Quartos I have trusted the Cambridge Shakespeare and Furness's edition of Hamlet. Thirdly, it gives explanatory notes. Here it is inevitable that my task should in the main be that of selection and condensation. But, gleaning after the gleaners, I have perhaps brought together a slender sheaf.

  • Reinhold, Renee 24016 Thompson.Pdf (578.0Kb)
    Renee J. Reinhold Capstone Abstract Technology In Education The Teacher Education Program at Northern Illinois University is typically divided into two sections: the methods courses/teacher preparation semesters, and the actual sixteen-week student teaching experience. This unintentional separation often leaves the students in the prepatory semesters apprehensive about what is actually going to ,happen when they are student teaching. The student teachers themselves also feel somewhat alienated from the program due to being off-campus. This research project presents a model of how to connect the two divided segments of the Elementary Education program through telecommunica~s. Students from CIEE 344 were used to complete the model. These pre~ semester students searched tools available on the internet to coincide with a thematic unit I was planning for my third grade student teaching experience. In the end, this model grew into not only using the information sent via electronic mail, but also evolved into a technological experience for the children. The third graders learned the basic searching mechanisms on the internet to complete cooperative reports on planets which were shared with the class. ~, HONORS 1HESIS ABSTRAcr nmsIS SUBMISSION FORM Aln1IOR:Renee Jean Reinhold THESISTITLE: "Technology in Education ADVISOR: Dr. Tom Thompson ADVISOR'SDEPT: Curriculum s Inst.

  • By: Maddie S. It Takes 84 Earth Years for It to Complete One Orbit
    Uranus By: Maddie S. It takes 84 earth years for it to complete one orbit. It's radius is 400.1 miles. At its closest it orbits Uranus appeared to be 1.7 billion miles away. At its only a blue-green ball with farthest it orbits 1.9 billion miles a smooth surface. away. Uranus is too far away to see easily without a telescope. Uranus is the seventh planet Sometimes it is just bright from the sun. It orbits farther enough to see with the naked out, along Uranus's outer eye. ring. Uranus' high powered telescope at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii creates detailed images of Uranus. Each of Uranus' hemispheres receives 42 earth years of sunlight. Uranus' rings are a mix of large chunks of matter and fine particles of dust. One spacecraft has managed to visit Uranus but it took a little creativity to get it there. The rings orbiting Uranus are thinner than those orbiting other planets. Uranus has ten moons. Ariel is Uranus's brightest moon. The moons names are Juliet, Puck Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Desdemona, Portia, Rosalind, Cressida, and Belinda. Umbriel is the darkest moon on Uranus. Uranus Uranus is so far away that for about 200 years scientists could not make out how quickly it turns on its axis. Most planets turn on their axis in such a way that they are almost upright as they move about the sun. It is the only planet with an axis tipped that way, so some think of it as a sideways planet. Like most planets, Uranus has its own natural satellites, or moons.

Caution: the examples used are not necessarily appropriate solutions to any particular application, and not all relevant application design issues are discussed. See the last page of this tutorial for a listing of references for further information. SPK File Contents NAIF Navigation Ancillary Information Facility • An SPK file holds ephemeris data for any number/types of solar system objects – “Ephemeris data” ⇒ position and velocity of one object relative to another – “Solar system object” ⇒ any spacecraft, planet (mass center or barycenter), satellite, comet or asteroid. Also, the sun and the solar system barycenter. Can also be a designated point on an object (e.g. a DSN station). • A single SPK file can hold data for just one, or for any combination of objects – Examples: » Cassini spacecraft » MGS orbiter, M98 lander, Mars, Phobos and the sun SPICE Ephemeris Objects NAIF Navigation Ancillary Information Facility Z COMET • SPACECRAFT SUN MASS CENTER • PLANET Y BARYCENTER SOLAR OBJECT ON PLANET SURFACE SYSTEM CENTER BARYCENTER OF FIGURE • •• PLANET CENTER X OF MASS ASTEROID SATELLITE Examples of Generic SPK Files Obtained from NAIF NAIF Navigation Ancillary Information Facility DExxx JUPxxx + DE zzz Planetary

  • Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
    Modern Astronomy: Voyage to the Planets Lecture 8 The outer planets: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto University of Sydney Centre for Continuing Education Autumn 2005 Tonight: • Uranus • Neptune • Pluto and Chiron • The Voyager missions continue (or not?) The only mission to fly to the outer planets was Voyager 2. After leaving Saturn in August 1981, Voyager arrived at Uranus in January 1986, then flew on past Neptune in August 1989. It then swung down below the ecliptic and headed into interstellar space. Uranus Uranus was discovered in 1781 by William Herschel, musician and amateur astronomer. Herschel became the first person in recorded history to discover a new planet, at a stroke doubling the size of the known Solar System. In fact, Uranus had been detected, mistaken for a star, on 22 occasions during the preceding century, including by John Flamsteed, the first Astronomer Royal, who called it 34 Tauri. Basic facts Uranus Uranus/Earth Mass 86.83 x 1024 kg 14.536 Radius 25,559 km 4.007 Mean density 1.270 g/cm3 0.230 Gravity (eq., 1 bar) 8.87 m/s2 0.905 Semi-major axis 2872 x 106 km 19.20 Period 30 685.4 d 84.011 Orbital inclination 0.772o - Orbital eccentricity 0.0457 2.737 Axial tilt 97.8o 4.173 Rotation period –17.24 h 0.720 Length of day 17.24 h 0.718 Uranus shows an almost totally featureless disk. Even Voyager 2 at a distance of 80,000 km saw few distinguishable features. Uranus’ atmosphere is made up of 83% hydrogen, 15% helium, 2% methane and small amounts of acetylene and other hydrocarbons.
