Criticism on Hamlet
**HAMLET** [189] Act I. Scene i. (I. i. 63.) He smote the sleaded Polack on the ice. Polack was in that age, the term for an inhabitant of Poland: Polaque, French. As in a translation of Passeratius's epitaph on Henry III of France, published byCamden : Whether thy chance or choice thee hither brings, Stay, passenger, and wail the best of kings. This little stone a great king's heart doth hold, Who rul'd the fickle French and Polacks bold: So frail are even the highest earthly things. Go, passenger, and wail the hap of kings. Act I. Scene i. (I. i. 138.) If thou hast any sound. The speech of Horatio to the spectre is very elegant and noble, and congruous to the common traditions of the causes of apparitions. Act I. Scene i. (I. i. 153 foll.) Whether in sea or fire, &c. According to the pneumatology of that time, every element was inhabited by its peculiar order of spirits, who had dispositions different, according to their various places of abode. The meaning therefore is, that all spirits extravagant, wandering out of their element, whether aerial spirits visiting earth, or earthly spirits ranging the air, return to their station, to their proper limits in which they are confined. [190] Act I. Scene ix. (I. v. 154) Swear by my sword. Mr. Garrick produced me a passage, I think, in Brant ôme, from which it appeared, that it was common to swear upon the sword,
Produce a case study comparing two business organisations, investigating the extent to which each has developed an effective customer service programme, and evaluating the effect of those programmes on customer satisfaction.
Task: You need to produce a case study comparing two business organisations, investigating the extent to which each has developed an effective customer service programme, and evaluating the effect of those programmes on customer satisfaction. The organisations that I am comparing are Marks & Spencer Plc and Tesco. Marks & Spencer Plc (a) Describe the importance of customer service to each organisation. Customer service Their Vision 'Leading standards wherever we trade epitomises the Marks & Spencer approach to both the way we serve our customers and the way we run our business.

Ensuring we meet our customers' needs with appealing, superior quality products at attractive prices.' People are the lifeblood of our stores' success They launched their Foundations For Success programme to set out new ways of working in stores, and new levels of customer service to aim for. The initiative focuses attention on 'power hours', the key time of day when each different store is at its busiest, and everyone
Hitlers Germany
DICTATOR IN the spring of 1938, on the eve of his greatest triumphs, Adolf Hitler entered his fiftieth year. His physical appearance was unimpressive, his bearing still awkward. The failing lock of hair and the smudge of his mustache added nothing to a coarse and curiously undistinguished face, in which the eyes alone attracted attention. In appearance at least Hitler could claim to be a man of the people, a plebeian through and through, with none of the physical characteristics of the racial superiority he was always invoking. The quality which his face possessed was that of mobility, an ability to express the most rapidly changing moods, at one moment smiling and charming, at another cold and imperious, cynical and sarcastic, or swollen and livid with rage. Speech was the essential medium of his power, not only over his audiences but over his own temperament. Hitler talked incessantly, often using words less to communicate his thoughts than to release the hidden spring of his own and others' emotions, whipping himself and his audience into anger or exaltation by the sound of his voice. Talk had another function, too. 'Words,' he once said, 'build bridges into unexplored regions." As he talked, conviction would grow until certainty came and the problem was solved. Hitler always showed a distrust of argument and criticism. Unable to argue coolly himself, since his early

MSc Marketing 2008/10 An investigation of Celebrity Endorsement, with particular focus on the long-term marketability of celebrity sports personalities By Charlotte Louise Blake Confidentiality Statement The dissertation may be made freely available immediately for academic purposes. Charlotte L Blake, May 2010 Acknowledgments I would like to dedicate this work to my fiancé, Miguel Rodriguez, as if it wasn't for his support I would not have had the option of returning to university to pursue my ambition to get a masters degree, and change the direction of my career. I would also like to thank my family for their lifelong support; my father for always being the best source of advice, and my mother for always being there. Furthermore, I would like to pay my gratitude to John May for being a great lecturer throughout the year, and a good supervisor who always pointed me in the right direction. It is also imperative that I mention my classmates for the past 2 academic years, which have all proven to be a great bunch of people to be around, in and out of the classroom. Finally, thank you to everyone who participated in my research, I couldn't have done this without you. In particular Jessica Cole and Jessica Brittan, who not only participated in my focus groups, but also set them up, and hosted the events at their home. Whilst not forgetting, the legendary, Mel Stein,

Both Hitler's parents had come from poor peasant families. His father Alois Hitler, the illegitimate son of a housemaid, was an intelligent and ambitious man and later became a senior customs official. Klara Hitler was Alois' third wife. Alois was twenty-three years older than Klara and already had two children from his previous marriages. Klara and Alois had five children but only Adolf and a younger sister, Paula, survived to become adults. Alois, who was fifty-one when Adolf was born, was extremely keen for his son to do well in life. Alois did have another son by an earlier marriage but he had been a big disappointment to him and eventually ended up in prison for theft. Alois was a strict father and savagely beat his son if he did not do as he was told. Hitler did extremely well at primary school and it appeared he had a bright academic future in front of him. He was also popular with other pupils and was much admired for his leadership qualities. He was also a deeply religious child and for a while considered the possibility

Why did tension increase in Europe between 1900 and 1914?
CONFLICT IN THE MODERN WORLD: INTERNATIONAL HISTORY 1900-1939 Why did tension increase in Europe between 1900 and 1914? Germany * Germany was the leading industrial and military power on the continent. In 1871 it had taken Alsace-Lorraine from France after the Franco-Prussian War. * Since 1887 the ruler of Germany had been Kaiser Wilhelm II. He had begun to pursue adventurous policies after the resignation of his chancellor Bismarck in 1890. * In 1898 and 1900 the German Navy Laws were passed. This threatened Britain's control of the seas. The two laws laid out plans for the construction of a large navy designed to rival Britain's by 1917. This was an example of the Kaiser's determination to make Germany a world power. Britain * In Britain the Laws were viewed with alarm since there was no apparent reason why Germany needed a navy, except to attack Britain. Britain depended on control of the seas in order to protect her vast empire. * The British government replied by beginning a programme of warship construction intended to maintain the 'two-power standard', which had been the basis of naval policy in the late nineteenth century. It simply stated that the British navy should be as big as the next two largest navies in the world. * The Kaiser also encouraged the creation of a German Empire. This also challenged Britain's dominant position. However, by 1914 there were

Task 1 To: Gill Slater From: Subject: Date: 8th May 2008 Introduction: I am writing this report to describe how each organisation plans and conducts its recruitment furthermore I will be explaining why there might be a reason for a vacancy (employee leaving, growth, different, work, maternity cover, sickness) moreover I will be looking at the organisation if they have any current vacancies and why might they have arisen. Last but not least I will be explaining the different sources of recruitment that the two organisations use. The need to recruit All business organisations have a need to recruit staff in order to run the business effectively and efficiently as there may be certain work or task need to be done by someone who has the right skills to tackle them. The need to recruit is mainly to manage the organisation effectively, run the business smoothly, and manage the resources effectively and to have a good work level. Furthermore to do a particular job, to get the skills and experience for the business, not got enough employees, previous vacancies, growth in the business, employee leaving, extra work, different work, maternity cover, paternity cover, sickness, high staff turnover/ labour turnover. As without the right people the business cannot make the correct decisions and for this reason it is important to recruit. Features of key recruitment documents,
Research into Function and Design of Theatres.
CHAPTER 4 Project Profile Analysis 4.1 Historical Background 4.1.1 History of theatre and performing arts in the world The history of performing arts goes back thousands of years. Highlights of the important events are that, first, Greeks embraced the concept of drama and wrote plays to be performed. Standing out among the best are the plays written by Sophocles. It is also believed that there were performing artists in parts of China at around the same time. Elements of music have been found across all civilizations throughout history. Many of the performing arts stopped in the years after the fall of the Roman Empire. The Christians, who had stopped all public performances, started allowing them again sometime after 900 to celebrate Easter. The new performing art type of ballet was introduced in Italy around the 1500s. A century later, Shakespeare's plays were being performed. Romeo and Juliet became the first Shakespeare play to be performed in America. Later in 20th century brought modern technology to the performing arts with innovations in film and television. Theater probably arose as a performance of ritual activities that did not require initiation on the part of the spectator. Introduced by the Romans, the first building used for theatrical performances were Amphitheatres who copied theatres from ancient Greece. These were semi-circular structures, constructed
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. He was the British naturalist who became famous for his theories of evolution and natural selection. Like several scientists before him, Darwin believed all the life on earth evolved (developed gradually) over millions of years from a few common ancestors. From 1831 to 1836 Darwin served as naturalist aboard the H.M.S. Beagle on a British science expedition around the world. In South America Darwin found fossils of extinct animals that were similar to modern species. On the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean he noticed many variations among plants and animals of the same general type as those in South America. The expedition visited places around the world, and Darwin studied plants and animals everywhere he went, collecting specimens for further study. Upon his return to London Darwin conducted thorough research of his notes and specimens. Out of this study grew several related theories: one, evolution did occur; two, evolutionary change was gradual, requiring thousands to millions of years; three, the primary mechanism for evolution was a process called natural selection; and four, the millions of species alive today arose from a single original life form through a branching process called "specialization." Darwin's theory of evolutionary selection holds that variation within
