The one publication that reaches more than 320,000 alumni Wworldwide, this magazine has a single, simple mission: to serve its readers. We create content with your interests and needs in mind. Accordingly, you’ll notice a few changes in the following pages, all of them informed by feedback from thoughtful readers. You asked for more features on alumni, so we created Network, a section where you can catch up not only with Columbians in the news but also those fl ying under the radar. (If you would like to suggest an alum for inclusion, please contact us at [email protected].) At Columbia Magazine we also recognize that our readers are lifelong learners. You told us that you enjoy hearing about the cutting-edge research and groundbreaking studies under- way across Columbia’s schools and institutes, so we expanded the Explorations section. And because this University has the capability and commitment to take on complex, global questions, we have added The Big Idea. This Q&A asks key researchers to give us greater insight into those questions. In this issue we interview David Rosner, a professor of history and the codirector of the Center for History and Ethics of Public Health, about the national implications of the Flint water crisis. Along with these and other tweaks, we are also debuting a refreshed design. Our art director, Jeff rey Saks, sought to preserve the integrity of the original magazine but modifi ed its templates to accommodate a wider range of both long- and short-form features and multiple strong images. You may notice that we have also improved the quality of our paper and made greater investments in photography and illustration. We hope you like the changes, and we welcome your feedback. Indeed, our goal is to build a community of readers who will actively engage with the editors and help shape future issues of the magazine, both in print and digital form. (Don’t forget to download your free app on the App Store or Google Play.) If you have thoughts on this issue, suggestions for future stories, or comments on particular features, please e-mail us at [email protected] or send a letter to Columbia Magazine, 622 West 113th Street, New York, NY 10025. We’re looking forward to hearing from you. CU_2.16_Contents_FINAL.indd 11 5/11/16 4:11 PM SUMMER 2016 PAGE 32 CONTENTS FEATURES 12 MEET THE GIRL WITH GENE NUP214-ABL1 By David J.

  • The Tragedy of Hamlet
    THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET THE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET EDITED BY EDWARD DOWDEN n METHUEN AND CO. 36 ESSEX STREET: STRAND LONDON 1899 9 5 7 7 95 —— CONTENTS PAGE Introduction ix The Tragedy of Hamlet i Appendix I. 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.

The Red Sox shortstop was 13th in 2013. Bogaerts hit .309 with a career-high 33 homers and 117 RBIs. Bogaerts tied Nomar Garciaparra for the most extra-base hits in a season by a Red Sox shortstop (85). Garciaparra did it in 1997 and 2002. Bogaerts’s 117 RBIs were the most in a season by a Red Sox shortstop since Garciaparra had 120 in 2002. Bogaerts was just the third shortstop in MLB history with at least a .300 batting average, 85 extra-base hits, and 115-plus RBIs. The others are Alex Rodriguez, in 1996 with the Mariners and 2001 and 2002 with the Texas, and Garciaparra. Bogaerts finished behind the Yankees’ DJ LeMahieu, who pulled in 10 fourth-place votes to Bogaerts’s six. Mookie Betts was eighth, Rafael Devers 12th, and J.D.

MLB speaks with Alex Cora as it investigates Astros’ sign-stealing Peter Abraham and Alex Speier SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Red Sox manager Alex Cora is one of the key figures into Major League Baseball’s investigation of the Houston Astros, an appraisal that goes beyond charges of sign stealing in 2017. Cora, who was bench coach of the Astros in 2017, has spoken to officials charged with determining to what degree Houston flouted rules against using cameras to pick up signs from opposing catchers.

  • 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.
