http://newgame.agava.ru/eng/r_007.html

Extractions: RACES A race is a notion uniting a group of planets; the race defines the attitude of the planets to everything. For instance, on all the planets where a race lives which is intolerant to weapons, trading in them is going to be illegal. Every planet has its own attitude to a ranger, however, if a ranger has done something good for some planet, this action is going to have positive effect on the attitude of all the planets where the same race lives. There are going to be five races in the game. While forming them, different principles have been implemented, which are going to make the world diverse, and at the same time, understandable to the player, who will have to choose constantly between loyalty and profits. The most important race characteristics are shown in the following table: NN Name Description People Average level of development, technologies dominate over agriculture. Need alcohol, luxuries. Trading in drugs is illegal. Don't like Peleng. Like rangers-warriors.

Extractions: First announcement Registration form Abstract form Hotel info ... Canary Islands The recent discoveries of extrasolar planets and the progress in studies of disks around pre-main and main sequence stars highlight the need of a better understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Many groups and observatories are undertaking significant efforts towards these goals. The allocation for international observations at the Canary Islands Observatories in 1998 was fully devoted to studies related to these topics, making use of spectroscopic, polarimetric and optical to near-IR photometric techniques. The conference is the frame in which the large amount of data collected with the facilities in the Canary Islands will be presented. Moreover contributions from participants addressing theoretical models and observations in all wavelength ranges will provide an updated overview of the field. The conference will last five days (including a free afternoon) and will consist of sessions with invited and contributed talks and posters. Sessions will devoted to:

Extractions: The Sun is a class G star, one of the cooler stars in the universe, but extraordinarily hot by our standards. It is of medium size which has allowed it to continually burn energy at a steady but relatively slow pace. Eventually the Sun will begin to run out of its fuel and balloon into a star called a red giant, but a few billion years will pass before that happens. 98% of the total mass in the solar system is in the Sun, which shows the enormity of it, and yet it takes up a miniscule portion of our galaxy, not to mention the whole universe. The Sun is fueled by a reaction called the proton-proton chain which converts the abundant Hydrogen in its core into Helium and energy in the form of light waves. While the sun is one of the major elements responsible for life on Earth, it is also extraordinarily dangerous. It has a tumultuous atmosphere and emits gamma rays among other things that human beings should not be exposed to. While, thankfully, the Earths ozone layer filters out most of the harmful waves, it is still very dangerous to look directly at the Sun. Galileo did so while conducting his research and was consequently almost completely blind at the end of his lifetime.
On A General Method Of Expressing The Paths Of Light And Of The Planets
On a general Method of expressing the Paths of Light and of the planets bythe Coefficients of a Characteristic Function By William R. Hamilton.
http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Hamilton/LightPlanets/

Extractions: By William R. Hamilton William R. Hamilton contributed an article entitled On a General Method of expressing the Paths of Light and of the Planets by the Coefficients of a Characteristic Function to the November issue of the Dublin University Review and Quarterly Magazine in 1833. This article is available in the following formats: The article commences with a history of the study of optics, and of the use of variational principles in this science. Hamilton then introduces his characteristic function, and explains how it can be employed in the study of mathematical optics. He concludes the article with a brief discussion of an analogous characteristic function in dynamics, applying his theory to the case of a comet moving in a parabola about the sun. Links: D.R.

Extractions: I occassionally show and use fancy presentations during lecture to make a particular point more clearly. I am providing copies of these presentation as they occur throughtout the semester so that you can review them outside of class. I hope they are useful. Some of these presentations are very graphical in nature, thus they make take a long time to view and load. I provide links to these *after* you see them in class. Presentation #1: Where are we going? - A presentation and introduction into the ideas behind our astronomical journey during the semester. I want to get you thinking about the grand scale of things to come and to start pondering the cosmos. The first steps and ways to think as we encounter new ideas. - A presentation and introduction to the night sky and constellations. Of particular importance is the Zodiacal Constellations that the Sun passes through during the year. Some mythology and sky tool help along the way. Presentation #3: What is a "Day" - There are differences in the meaning of "day" that we must unravel. We will discuss discover what a Sidereal and Solar Day are. What a difference a "day" makes, eh? Presentation #4: The Celestial "Seasons" Sphere - The Earth's map coordinates placed on the sky can help us map the heavens. We will define the Celestial Sphere, relate the positions on the map to the seasons and the motion of the Sun across our sky. Seems like a lot!

Extractions: Taking the measure of the universe Artist's concept of SIM How big is the universe? How old is it? Are there other planets like Earth out there among the stars? We have asked these questions around campfires and in the halls of universities for centuries. Today, we know that the answers lie hidden in the positions and distances of the stars and galaxies. And each time scientists have measured these positions and distances with greater accuracy, they have gained a wealth of new understanding. The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM), scheduled for launch in 2009, will determine the positions and distances of stars several hundred times more accurately than any previous program. This accuracy will allow SIM to determine the distances to stars throughout the galaxy and to probe nearby stars for Earth-sized planets. SIM will open a window to a new world of discoveries. This breakthrough in capabilities is possible because SIM will use optical interferometry. Pioneered by Albert Michelson, who became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in physics in 1907, optical interferometry can fulfill its full potential only outside the distorting effects of Earth's atmosphere. There, it can combine light from two or more telescopes as if they were pieces of a single, gigantic telescope mirror. Developed for use in space with SIM, this technique will eventually lead to the development of telescopes powerful enough to take images of Earth-like planets orbiting distant stars and to determine whether these planets sustain life as we know it.

Extractions: FAQ D/L Obviously the objective is to buy low and sell high as you travel from planet to planet. Always check to make sure that the item you are purchasing has the highest gain possible on that trip. Always check for high gains from the current planet to future planets. Sometimes you can miss great trades by focusing only on your current planet and the next one. Intergalactic Banks are located on Earth, Norhaven, Metallica, Richiana, Stockworld and Homeworld. Here is a useful datasheet for evaluating your planet runs. Also , here is an Excel spreadsheet with a form that will calculate your best buys for you. All you have to do is enter your flight path and it will calculate the amount gained on a particular item from the current planet to the next two planets. This spreadsheet actually includes information for an additional 74 planets and 21 items that were added to a game I played at Gameland BBS . This datasheet allows for great customization, but be careful when making changes, not to lose the formulas in the process.

Extractions: Main page PLANETS AROUND BETA PICTORIS? Beta Pictoris is the only star for which a circumstellar dust disk has been directly imaged. Previously, transitory absorption features were observed in the star's spectrum. Attributing these to the fleeting passage of comets is complicated by the puzzling fact that there are many more red shifts (90% of the sample) than blue shifts among the features. Performing computer simulations, astronomers have now been able to explain the asymmetry in the features by invoking the presence of at least two planets in orbit around Beta Pictoris. (Harold F.
